Share of combined heat and power in gross electricity production in 2004
The most recent available data are for 2004.In Cyprus and Malta there was no CHP generation in 2004.The share is defined as the proportion of CHP electricity production (from both private and public utilities) in total gross electricity production, including generation in pumped storage power stations
Share of electricity production by fuel, EU-25
Electricity produced from pumping in hydro power plants is not considered a renewable source of energy and it is not shown in the chart.
Share of the utilised agricultural area used for organic farming in the EU-27 over the period 2012-2021
Organic farming in the EU has been continuously increasing since 2012 and reached an estimated 9.9% of the utilised agricultural area (UAA) in 2021.
Total waste generation by sector, 2004
Oil production and discharges from offshore oil installations in the north-east Atlantic
Data only available from Denmark, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Norway, hence coverage is restricted to north-east Atlantic; Production data for 1990 is not available.
Production signals
This section of the zero pollution monitoring assessment presents a series of short case studies that highlight additional sources of information on pollution associated with production.
Conditions and pathways for sustainable and circular consumption in Europe
Unprecedented sustainability challenges from accumulating environmental and climate pressures and impacts - to a large extent caused by unsustainable consumption - require a fundamental shift in our production and consumption systems in Europe and beyond. Such a shift calls for exploring what conditions and pathways are for sustainable and circular consumption in Europe.
Production
This section of the zero pollution monitoring assessment presents available knowledge and trends on pollution associated with production, and assesses progress towards achieving relevant zero pollution targets and policy objectives.
Apparent steel consumption, imports of iron and steel, and CO2 emissions from metal production, EU-15 1995-2001
Cost of oil production
Production cost comparison between arctic oil, deep and ultra-deepwater oil, heavy oil and bitumen, conventional oil
Crushed bedrock and sand and gravel production, 2006
Decomposition analysis of the main factors influencing the CO2 emissions from public electricity and heat production (1990-2005)
The orange bars show the factors that have an increasing effect on emissions and the green bars show the factors that have a reducing effect
Environment and climate pressures from household consumption in Europe
Europe and the world face unprecedented sustainability challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, resource depletion and pollution. These challenges are largely caused by unsustainable consumption as countries strive for economic growth and people pursue well-being. Household consumption pressures and impacts the environment and drive climate change.
Electricity production by fuel, EU-25
Data for Germany in 1990 include West Germany only
Environmental indicator report 2014
Environmental impacts of production-consumption systems in Europe. This report provides another perspective on the green economy transition, addressing the global value chains that meet European demand for goods and services. In doing so, it goes beyond previous reports and analyses to address the global dimension of Europe's economic activities. This perspective is highly relevant because European production and consumption systems rely heavily on imported resources and goods.

Environmental trends and perspectives in the Western Balkans: future production and consumption patterns
This report looks at the forces shaping the future of the environment in the Western Balkans, in particular at the role of consumption and production patterns. It begins with a review of key recent environmental trends in the region, then analyses the global, European, regional and national drivers — such as social, political and economic — that are shaping production and consumption patterns. Addressing environmental challenges in a sustainable manner requires a close review of plausible future developments in other sectors and the potential implications of these drivers on the environment. At the end report also looks at how different actors in the region can act to shape environmental futures. The report takes a futures perspective because the countries of the Western Balkan are at a turning point in the development of their economies, societies and environment. This is important as in the long term, political, economic and other changes may exacerbate some environmental problems, create new ones and provide the means to address existing issues. The report also closely reviews and assesses how can available information support region-wide forward-looking integrated environment assessment.
