Decomposition analysis of the main factors influencing the development of EU-15 CO2 emissions from manufacturing industries and construction (1990-2005)

The orange bars show the factors that have an increasing effect on emissions and the green bars show the factors that have a reducing effect

Exposure of agricultural area to ozone (exposure expressed as AOT40 in (mg/m3).h) in EEA member countries, 1996-2005

The target value for protection of vegetation is 18 (mg/m3).h while the long-term objective is set to 6 (mg/m3).h

Relative gaps (over-delivery or shortfall) between greenhouse gas projections and 2010 targets for new Member States

For Estonia, Hungary and Latvia the projections used in last year's report are used as no new data were available

Distance-to-target (burden-sharing targets) for EU-15 Member States in 2004, including Kyoto mechanisms and carbon sinks

The distance-to-target indicator (DTI) measures the deviation in percentage points of actual emissions in 2004 from a (hypothetical) linear path between base-year emissions and the burden-sharing target for 2010

Number of exceedances of the ozone threshold value for the information of the public

Number of exceedances of the threshold value for the information of the public (one-hour ozone concentration > 180 µg/m3) observed at urban/street stations and stations of unspecified type in the EU and other countries, summer 2003 (April - August).

Past and projected prices of fossil fuels and electricity 1970-2050 in the baseline and LCEP scenarios

Comparison of 2005 EU-15 emissions with hypothetical target paths towards the EU-15 Kyoto target

The Kyoto mechanisms are projected to account for 2.5 % of the EUtarget of an 8 % reduction, and the carbon sink activities are projected to contribute to an additional 0.9 %

EEA-32 sector contributions to the main air pollution issues, 2004

The first two bars (top-down) refer to ecosystem impacts, the third to human health impacts, and the fourth to health and vegetation impacts Energy industry: Emissions from public heat and electricity generation including fugitive emissions; Manufacturing industry: combustion and non-combustion processes; Commercial and institutional services and household: Combustion and non-combustion processes; Road transport: light and heavy duty vehicles, passenger cars and motorcycles; Off-road transport: railways, domestic shipping, certain aircraft movements, and non-road mobile machinery used in agriculture, forestry; Agriculture: manure management, fertiliser application; Waste: incineration, waste-water management.

Total energy consumption by fuel in the EU-25

Targets for 2010 and share of electricity consumption met by renewable energy sources in 2003 for the EU-25

National indicative targets shown are reference values that Member States agreed to take into account when setting their indicative targets by October 2003, according to the EU renewable electricity directive.
