Do something for our planet, print this page only if needed. Even a small action can make an enormous difference when millions of people do it!
Simulations with LISFLOOD driven by HIRHAM HadAM3H/HadCM3 based on IPCC SRES scenario A2.
International comparisons
The Renewable Electricity Directive (2001/77/EC) defines renewable electricity as the share of electricity produced from renewable energy sources in total electricity consumption
International comparison
Index 100 = base year level (EU-15) or 1990 levels (EU-27, new Member States)
Exceedance days are defined as days with black smoke (BS) 24-hour average concentrations above 125 ?g/m 3 ; Total Suspended Particles (TSP) 24-hour average above 120 ?g/m 3 ; PM10 24-hour average above 50 ?g/m
Target paths are used to analyse how close 2003 emissions were to a (hypothetical) linear path of emission reductions or allowed increases from the base-year to the Kyoto Protocol target, assuming domestic policies and measures as well as use of Kyoto mechanisms
All EU-15 Member States provided projections assuming existing domestic policies and measures
The share is defined as the proportion of CHP electricity production (from both auto-producers and public utilities) in the total electricity production
Note: Some double counting might occur as forest areas may be certified by different schemes at the same time.
MS means Member States
This graph shows the evolution of GHG emissions between 1990 and 2004 and the total projected emissions by 2010 in the EU-23 (see note about why EU-23 and not EU-25).
