In 2020, the EU continued to actively phase out ozone-depleting substances (ODS), in line with its commitment under the Montreal Protocol. Data for 2020 show that consumption of ODS in the EU remained negative (-2,023 metric tonnes), meaning that more substances were destroyed or exported than were produced or imported. The EU´s consumption of these substances has been negative since 2012.
For more information and data reported by companies under the Ozone Regulation, see the online ODS data viewer .
The figure shows the consumption in metric tonnes and in ozone-depleting potential (ODP) tonnes from 2006 to 2020 (EU-27 + United Kingdom).
The calculation of the consumption of controlled substances under the Montreal Protocol excludes non-virgin imports and exports, substances intended for feedstock and process agent use, as well as new substances.
The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on 31 January 2020 did not affect the production of this indicator, which refers to 2020 data. Data reported by companies from the United Kingdom are included in all analyses contained herein, unless otherwise indicated.
The figure shows the consumption in ozone-depleting potential (ODP) tonnes from 1986 to 2020.

The EU has been facing difficulties in reducing its energy consumption and was at risk of not meeting its 2020 energy efficiency target. In 2019, the EU’s primary energy consumption (for all energy uses) decreased for the second consecutive year. Final energy consumption (by end users) saw only a modest decrease, hampered by growing energy use in transport. The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have significantly reduced energy consumption in 2020. However, substantial changes in the energy system remain necessary to achieve the EU’s energy and climate neutrality objectives by 2050.

By 31st of August each year the Member States must submit a summary of fuel quality monitoring data collected during the period January to December of the previous calendar year, in accordance with Article 8(1) of Directive 98/70/EC as amended by Directive 2009/30/EC. The delivery process is managed by EEA.
The map describes the number OPS facilities available in the EEA area. The graph describes the number of ports equipped with OPS facilities in the EU and the total number of OPS facilities available.
