Uptake of cleaner and alternative fuels (19.2) (SCP 028) - Assessment DRAFT created Apr 2012: The share of biofuels in the transport fuel mix increased rapidly since 2000 but still represents only 3.75% of the total. This is far from the EU’s current target 10% target for renewable energy in transport by 2020. Moreover, growth in total fuel use by cars since 2000 at 5% has more than offset gains made through biofuel uptake. The average sulphur content of transport fuels, and in particular diesel, has decreased significantly since 2000.

Energy-related emissions of ozone precursors (ENER 005) - Assessment published Apr 2012: Energy-related emissions accounted for 87% of all Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions, 43% of all Non-Methane Volatile Organic Compounds (NMVOC) emissions, 96% of all Nitrogen Oxide (NO x ) emissions and 4.7% of all Methane (CH 4 ) emissions from the EEA-32 in 2009. Since 1990(2005), these emissions have declined by 58(13)%, 63(13)%, 37(13)% and 22(+8)% in EEA member countries. The largest reduction in emissions occurred in the road transport sector, largely as a result of the continued introduction of catalytic converters in new vehicles during this period and more stringent regulations on emissions.

Energy-related emissions of acidifying substances (ENER 006) - Assessment published Apr 2012: Energy-related emissions account for only 2% of NH 3 emissions but 96% of NO x and 94% of SO 2 emissions in the EEA-32 in 2009. They fell by 17%, 13% and 21% respectively between 2005 and 2009 in EEA-32 countries. Since 1990, these energy related emissions declined by 40% and 78% for NO x and SO 2 respectively but increased by 88% for NH 3 in the EU-27 and declined by 37% (NO x ) and 74% (SO 2 ) and increased by 92% (NH 3 ) in EEA-32 member countries. However as noted earlier the percentage of energy related NH 3 emissions are insignificant compare do the non-energy related NH 3 emissions. Most of the total reduction in pollutants contributing to acid deposition since 1990 is accounted for by lower SO 2 emissions from the energy-producing sector and lower NO x emissions from the transport sector. The EU-27 is broadly on track to meet its overall targets set under the NEC Directive (NECD) [1] , however further reductions are needed to improve remaining local and transboundary air pollution issues, and for ensuring that individual countries meet emissions ceiling targets under the NECD and the UNECE Gothenburg Protocol.
