Methodology:
In all cases, the formula used to calculate ESD emissions was:
“Total GHG emissions – ETS emissions (including EEA estimates for 2005-2012 to reflect current scope of the ETS) – CO2 emissions from domestic aviation (source category 1A3a) – NF3 emissions”
In the case of 2017 ESD emissions, CO2 emissions from domestic aviation and NF3 emissions, which were not specifically reported by Member States, were gap filled by 2016 values from GHG inventories.

Data sources
The data set is based on several information sources, depending on the period/year considered.
For 2005-2012 ESD emissions, the data set is based on:
- Greenhouse gas emission inventories submitted to EEA and Commission in 2018 and published by EEA on its greenhouse gas data viewer on 6 June: http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/data-viewers/greenhouse-gases-viewer
- ETS verified emissions extracted from the European Union Transaction Log (EUTL): http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/data-viewers/emissions-trading-viewer
- EEA estimates of ETS emissions for the period 2005-2012 to reflect the current scope of the EU ETS, also available on the EEA data viewer. See further methodological details in: “Estimate of 2005 - 2012 emissions for stationary installations to reflect the current scope (2013 - 2020) of the EU ETS" (ETC/ACM Technical Paper 2017/11)For 2013 and 2014 ESD emissions, the data set is based on the 28 final review reports of the comprehensive review of GHG inventories. The 2015 and 2016 ESD emissions are based on the 28 final review reports of the annual ESD review 2017 and 2018. These data correspond to the values which will be used by the Commission to determine Member States’ compliance under the ESD.
For 2017 ESD emissions, the data set is based on Member States’ submissions of “approximated inventories” of GHG emissions, together with the ETS verified emissions mentioned above.
