Produced figures

Figure Average greenhouse gas intensity of road transport fuels in the EU, 2010-2019 The EU is not on track towards its target to reduce the greenhouse gas emission intensity of fuels sold for road transport to 6 % below 2010 levels by 2020. Between 2010 and 2019, the emission intensity decreased by 4.3 %, mostly due to the increased use of biofuels. If the indirect land use change (ILUC) effects of biofuel production are considered, the emission intensity of fuels sold in the EU also decreased between 2018 and 2019, due to a limited substitution of oil crops by sugars as feedstocks.
Figure Average greenhouse gas intensity of road transport fuels by Member State, 2010-2018 • ILUC, indirect land use change. • The reduction target applies to values that exclude ILUC emissions only.

Average greenhouse gas intensity of road transport fuels in the EU, 2010-2018 • Average EU values (including and excluding indirect land-use change from biofuels production) calculated on the basis of 22 Member States submissions for 2017 (all except Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Romania and Spain) and 28 submissions for 2018. • gCO2eq/MJ, grams of CO2 equivalents per megajoule of energy produced; GHG, greenhouse gas.

Used in indicators

Indicator Specification Greenhouse gas emission intensity of fuels and biofuels for road transport in Europe EU Member States report annually on the volumes, energy content and life cycle GHG emissions of fuels used in road transport and non-road mobile machinery, in line with their obligations under the Fuel Quality Directive 98/70/EC (FQD) Article 7a . Standards relevant to this reporting requirement are inter alia: EN 228:2012 EN-ISO 5164:2014 ISO 5163:2014 EN 13016-1:2018   This indicator summarises the information reported by the EU Member States — and subsequently collected, checked and compiled by the European Environment Agency together with the European Topic Centre on Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME) — on the volume, energy consumption and GHG intensity of fossil fuels and biofuels.
