All products is the sum of net import of solid fuels, gas and total petroleum products as a % of total gross inland consumption of all products.
The figure shows the energy consumption for cooling per m2 for selected countries
The figure shows the annual energy consumption per m² for space heating
The figure shows the households energy consumption for space heating per m² in 2010
The energy consumption of households is decomposed in different explanatory effects: change in average dwelling size, increasing number of appliances (more electrical appliances) and central heating diffusion, energy efficiency improvement (as measured from ODEX) and change in behaviour related to more confort.
Final electricity consumption is the electricity consumption of the final energy demand sectors, it does not include own use by electricity producers or transformation, transmission and distribution losses.
The total recycling of municipal waste stated in percentage of the generated amount
The figure illustrates the relation between reported amounts of recycled packaging waste and recycled municipal waste and groups the countries into four categories.
The variation bar shows the highest and lowest regional recycling level within each country.
Number of countries per defined intervals of material recycling of MSW management in 2001 and 2010.
Number of countries per defined intervals of bio-waste recycling of MSW management in 2001 and 2010.
The yearly average percentage point increase required by each country between 2010 and 2020 to reach the 50 % target and compared with the rates achieved in 2001–2006 and 2001–2010.
Percentage of biodegradable municipal waste landfilled in 2006, 2009 and 2010 compared with the amount generated in 1995 — countries without derogation periods
The amount of municipal waste related to treatment in million tonnes
Percentage of municipal waste landfilled in each European country, 2001 and 2010
Material recycling in 32 European countries as a percentage of total municipal waste generated in 2001 and 2010.
The number of countries achieving defined levels of MSW management in 2001 and 2010. Countries > 25% recycling, > 25% incineration, > 50% landfilling and >75% landfilling. Each country can be included in several waste management categories. Therefore, the total number of countries is greater than 32.
Yearly average percentage point increase in total recycling of municipal waste, 2001–2005 and 2006–2010
