Progress towards achieving 2030 climate and energy targets in the EU-27

This figure shows the achievement of 2020 targets and progress towards 2030 targets in the areas Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, Final Energy Consumption (FEC), Primary Energy Consumption (PEC) and Renewable Energy (RE).

Additional information

GHG emissions include LULUCF and international transport emissions under the scope of the European Climate Law. The sum of the 2030 contributions for renewable energy and primary and final energy consumption are from the European Commission’s impact assessment of the final updated NECPs submitted by Member States in 2024 and 2025. The assessment estimates that the combined renewable contribution of all Member States adds up to 41% of renewable energy share in 2030, while the combined contribution of final energy consumption to 794 Mtoe and the combined contribution of primary energy consumption to 1040 Mtoe (EC, 2025). The 2030 GHG target is derived from the European Climate Law and applies the net 55% reduction to the calculated 1990 baseline figures. According to the European Climate Law, the contribution of LULUCF to the target is limited to a removal of 225Mt. If the removals surpass this level in 2030, this results in a slightly higher reduction than the 55% target. MtCO₂e = million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent; Mtoe = million tonnes of oil equivalent.
