Imperviousness density 2009 aggregated to 10km grid cells — 08 Feb 2016

Shapefile showing using a 10km reference grid, the imperviousness density 2009 status layer. The dataset is derived from aggregating the original Imperviousness 2009 status layer, 100m spatial resolution, copyright by the Geoland2 project consortium.

Imperviousness change 2006-2009 aggregated to country level — 08 Feb 2016

The data is derived from aggregating the original Imperviousness change 2006-2009, 100m dataset, copyright by the Geoland2 project consortium. The 100m 2006-2009 imperviousness change products (grid products) were aggregated to the standard 1km EEA reference grid, used in the LEAC CUBE, and summary figures for all EEA39 countries were derived.

Transport infrastructure investment and maintenance spending — 03 Feb 2016

Aggregated Imperviousness change information 10km grid — 03 Feb 2016

The data used for the European overview maps as part of the indicator publication, are based on the same original 100m Imperviousness change 2006-2009 product, aggregated first to 1km, then to 10km grid size for overview map production.

Share of energy from renewable sources — 29 Jan 2016

The use of renewable energy sources is seen as a key element in energy policy, reducing the dependence on fuel imported from non-EU countries, reducing emissions from fossil fuel sources, and decoupling energy costs from oil prices.  Directive 2009/28/EC  on promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources established accounting criteria for the 2020 targets on renewable energy sources.

Country pages of Climate-ADAPT — 28 Jan 2016

How is the European climate changing and what are the consequences for urban areas? There is scientific consensus, based on observations worldwide, that climate change is happening and will continue for centuries to come even if all greenhouse gas emissions (one of the main causes of climate change) would stop today.

Questionnaire to NRCs transport and climate change adaptation in 2013 — 28 Jan 2016

Questionnaire to NRCs transport and climate change adaptation in 2013 (ETC/CCA, 2013, Support to transport and environment assessments. Adaptation to Climate Change in the Transport Sector,  ETC/CCA Technical Paper 03/2013, European Topic Centre on Climate Change impacts, vulnerability and Adaptation.

Key characteristics for forest ecosystems in the EEA region — 19 Jan 2016

Copert 4 — 15 Jan 2016

The popular, straightforward and simple to use emissions calculator. COPERT 4 is a software tool used world-wide to calculate air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions from road transport. The development of COPERT is coordinated by the  European Environment Agency (EEA) , in the framework of the activities of the  European Topic Centre for Air Pollution and Climate Change Mitigation . The European Commission's  Joint Research Centre  manages the scientific development of the model. COPERT has been developed for official road transport emission inventory preparation in EEA  member countries . However, it is applicable to all relevant research, scientific and academic applications.

European Vehicle Market Statistics (2014) — 15 Jan 2016

Annual statistical portrait of technologies, fuel consumption, and GHG and pollutant emissions in Europe's passenger car, light commercial, and heavy-duty fleets.

Different types of emissions from vehicles — 15 Jan 2016

Where the Energy Goes: Gasoline Vehicles — 15 Jan 2016

Only about 14%–30% of the energy from the fuel you put in a conventional vehicle is used to move it down the road, depending on the drive cycle. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and driveline inefficiencies or used to power accessories. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous.

Investigations and real world emission performance of Euro 6 light-duty vehicles — 15 Jan 2016

TNO Report R11891: The objective of this research is to assess the real world emission performance of Euro 6 diesel passenger cars and to provide emission factors for this category.

Mind the Gap 2015: Closing the chasm between test and real-world car CO2 emissions — 15 Jan 2016

Report of the European Federation for Transport and Environment: The system of testing cars to measure fuel economy and CO2 emissions is utterly discredited. This report analyses the gap between test results and real-world performance and finds that it has become a chasm, increasing from 8% in 2001 to 31% in 2012 and 40% in 2014. Without action this gap will grow to nearly 50% by 2020.

Material flow accounts (Eurostat) — 15 Jan 2016

nZEB Definitions across Europe (dataset URL is not available) — 11 Jan 2016

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD, 2010/31/EC) introduced the definition of nZEB as a building with very high energy performance where the nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be extensively covered by renewable sources produced on-site or nearby.
