Greenhouse gas emission intensity of electricity generation
Chart (static)
Notes:
- The 2020-2030 trajectories represent indicative intensity levels that would allow the EU to achieve a net 55% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2030, compared with 1990. They are consistent with scenario ranges in the staff working document accompanying the ‘Fit for 55’ policy package.
- Greenhouse gas emission intensity (gCO2e/kWh) is calculated as the ratio of CO2e emissions from public electricity production (as a share of CO2 equivalent emissions from public electricity and heat production related to electricity production), and gross electricity production.
