Trends and projections in Europe reports
The EEA’s annual report on Trends and Projections in Europe updates the progress assessments of the EU and European countries towards their climate mitigation and energy targets. It also sets sights forward towards the EU’s 2030 and 2050 targets on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing renewable energy generation and improving energy efficiency.
Greenhouse gas emission intensity of electricity generation in Europe
The greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity of power generation in the European Union has continued to fall, confirming the trend of recent decades. Generating one kilowatt hour is estimated to have emitted 9% lower emissions in 2024 on average than in 2023, and 40% less than a decade ago. Climate and energy policies have effectively lowered carbon-intensive electricity supply over time, resulting in less coal use, more renewables and a more efficient EU generation mix.
