Data services overview

This dataset contains the location and administrative data for Large Combustion Plants in the Energy Community participating countries, as well as more detailed data on energy input and emissions to air. These data are reported to EEA under the Energy Community Treaty 2006/500/EC. Warning: Reporting countries have only recently started to report and it is expected that data quality will increase as experience in reporting consolidates. Countries will be correcting the reported data and updates will be posted accordingly. The metadata document provides further information on this matter.

Aggregated data on 'Consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS)'. Data reported by companies to the European Environment Agency (EEA) under Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 (EU Ozone Regulation). Data reported by companies on the production, import, export, destruction, and use of ozone-depleting substances in the EU-27 plus United Kingdom, 2006-2020.

In 2020, the EU continued to actively phase out ozone-depleting substances (ODS), in line with its commitment under the Montreal Protocol. Data for 2020 show that consumption of ODS in the EU remained negative (-2,023 metric tonnes), meaning that more substances were destroyed or exported than were produced or imported. The EU´s consumption of these substances has been negative since 2012. For more information and data reported by companies under the Ozone Regulation,  see the online ODS data viewer .

The figure shows the consumption in metric tonnes and in ozone-depleting potential (ODP) tonnes from 2006 to 2020 (EU-27 + United Kingdom). The calculation of the consumption of controlled substances under the Montreal Protocol excludes non-virgin imports and exports, substances intended for feedstock and process agent use, as well as new substances. The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on 31 January 2020 did not affect the production of this indicator, which refers to 2020 data. Data reported by companies from the United Kingdom are included in all analyses contained herein, unless otherwise indicated.

Between 2010 and 2019, industrial releases to Europe’s water bodies of pollutants that are damaging to human health and the environment declined overall. Releases of heavy metals declined significantly, while emissions of nitrogen and phosphorus, which cause eutrophication, declined to a lesser extent. In the same period, the economic value of industry increased by 14%, in line with the EU policy objective of supporting industrial growth while decreasing industrial emissions. However, data gaps make it difficult to assess industry’s contribution to overall water pollution in Europe.

The Mercury regulation (Regulation (EU) 2017/852) requires countries to report on several aspects which have been grouped in four specific obligations namely: 1) reporting on activities involving the use of mercury, 2) import restriction of mercury and mercury mixtures as waste and 3) non-waste and 4) a copy of the report that is due under article 21 of the Minamata Convention. The information reported under these obligations are presented in the dataviewer below.

Industrial releases of air pollutants that are damaging to human health and the environment decreased between 2010 and 2019 in Europe, with emissions of greenhouse gases (e.g. CO 2 and sulphur oxides) and other pollutants (e.g. nitrogen oxides, dust and heavy metals) all declining significantly. The value that industry generated for the European economy during this period increased, however, in line with the goal of the EU industrial strategy: to support the competitiveness of European industry while driving a reduction in emissions, the use of natural resources and the production of waste.

This country profile summarizes key data related to industry: its relevance with respect to economic contributions, energy and water consumption, as well as air and water emissions and waste generation. Country profiles are also available for EEA 33 member countries and EU-28 member states as a group, see the link below.
