Indicator Assessment
Over the period 1990-2008, in EU-27 countries, energy efficiency in industry has improved by 30% at an annual average rate of 1.9% per year, with large differences among countries. Energy efficiency improvement has been realized in all industrial branches except textiles. Over the same period of time, per capita energy consumption in industry in EU-27 countries has decreased by 18%, with a faster pace in the new member countries, Germany, Belgium, France and the UK while the CO2 emissions (including those associated with electricity consumption) decreased by 23%.
Energy efficiency index (ODEX) in industry in EU-27
Note: Energy efficiency index of industry (ODEX) is a weighted average of the specific consumption index of 10 manufacturing branches; the weight being the share of each branch in the sum of the energy consumption of these branches in year t and the sum of the implied energy consumption from each underlying industrial branches in year t (based on the unit consumption of the sub-sector with a moving reference year).

Benchmarking in the cement industry
Note: Figure compares the energy unit consumption of cement in EU countries as a function of the share of clinker: the higher this ratio, the higher the specific energy consumption.

Benchmarking in the steel industry
Note: Figure shows a more detailed comparison of the performance (in terms of energy unit consumption) of the European steel sector across the different EU-27 countries taking into account the relative share of electric steel in total crude steel production.

Benchmarking in the pulp and paper industry
Note: Figure 6 displays the unit energy consumption per ton of paper as a function of the ratio pulp production to paper production: the higher the ratio, the higher the energy unit consumption.

When analyzing specific energy consumption trends in industrial branches, one has to account for the specificities in terms of process mix and product mix. For steel, there are basically two main production processes: the blast furnace oxygen process and the arc furnace electric process. The first one is much more energy intensive. For paper and cement, part of the energy intensive component, pulp and clinker respectively, may be imported instead of being produced in the country, which will reduce the unit energy consumption, all things being equal .
CO2 emissions in industry - EU countries (1990, 2007)
Note: CO2 emissions from energy uses split between direct emissions and indirect emissions: Direct emissions refer to emissions from the combustion of coal, gas and oil products (source: EEA inventories 2009) Indirect emissions (or electricity related) refer to emissions in the power sector corresponding to the electricity consumption in the sector Indirect CO2 = Eind/E tot * CO2 ie with E : electricity consumption (ind for industry, tot for all sectors) (source ODYSSEE database); CO2 ie : CO2 emissions from public electricity and heat production ( source EEA, inventories 2009)

EEA. Data on CO2 : source EEA (inventories 2009) for the CO2 emissions for industry and CO2 emissions of public electricity and heat production based on the Annual European Community Greenhouse gas inventory 1990-2007 and inventory report 2009. EEA GHG data viewer available at http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/PivotApp/pivot.aspx?pivotid=475
The variation of the weighted index of the unit consumption between t-1 and t is defined as follows:
It -1/It = SUMi ECi,t *(UCi,t/UCi.t-1)
with : energy share EC i (consumption of each branch i in total industry consumption);
unit consumption index UC i (ratio : consumption related to production index or ratio : consumption related to physical production of steel, cement and paper)
t refers the current year, t-1 to the previous year
The value at year t can be derived from the value at the previous year by reversing the calculation:
It /It -1= 1/( It -1/It)
ODEX is set at 100 for a reference year and successive values are then derived for each year t by the value of ODEX at year t-1 multiplied by It /It -1
CO2 emissions from energy uses split between direct emissions and indirect emissions:
Indirect CO2 = E ind/E tot * CO2 ie
with E : electricity consumption (ind for industry, tot for all sectors) (source ODYSSEE database);
CO2 ie : CO2 emissions from public electricity and heat production ( source EEA, inventories 2009)

o energy consumption : based on the energy consumption of 12 countries (10 EU-15 countries: uk, swe, esp, prt, nld, ita, grc, fra, rfa, bel) + Poland and Hungary (source Odyssee), which is extrapolated for EU-27, based on the share of production these 12 countries in the total production of cement (consumption EU-27= consumption 12* (production EU-27/production 12)).
- Paper
o physical production for EU-27 is the sum of EU-27 countries (source Odyssee)
o energy consumption : source Euro stat
- Steel :
o physical production for EU-27 is the sum of EU-27 countries (source IISI)

No uncertainty has been specified
Not all data is available for all countries. Availability for data on years earlier than 2008, is higher.
Odyssee data is recently updated (October 2010)
The reliability of total industry energy consumption and related CO2 emissions is reliable due to trustworthy statistics underlying it.
No uncertainty has been specified
