It focuses on: Energy efficiency measures and behaviour change; structural factors - such as the impact of liberalisation and the energy mix and energy tariff structures; the rebound effect.

The share of electricity generated from renewable sources is in rapid progression and reached 20.9% in 2010 (12.5% in 1990).   Final electricity consumption increased by 32% in the EU-27 since 1990 at an average annual growth of around 1.4% per year. In the EU-27, the strongest growth was observed in the services sector (3.3%/year), followed by households (1.7%/year) and industry (0.2/year). In non-EU EEA countries, the growth in electricity consumption was much more rapid and reached 3.1%/year, driven by the rapid growth in Turkey.

As a result total fuel consumption of cars and resulting CO2 emissions have increased by ~20% in the period 1990-2009. The increase in total distance travelled by car is not a result of increasing distances travelled by individual cars but rather from an increase in the stock of private cars in Europe. The stock of cars remains closely coupled to GDP. Thus, changing behaviour characterised by a desire for ownership and use of private cars, made possible by increasing income, has offset rather than complemented gains from eco-efficient technology transfer.

The report calculates emissions based on their 'end use', or the sector using the energy. Homes in the EU only emit 12 % of energy emissions directly, but this doubles when related emissions from power plants and district heating are factored in.

The figure illustrates that increasing ownership of appliances is more than offsetting gains from energy efficiency improvements in individual appliances.

While cities in Europe contribute 69 % of the continent's CO2 emissions, an urban resident consumes less energy than a rural resident. Urban density and compactness enable more energy efficient forms of housing and transport – an asset for a more sustainable Europe.
