Po podatkih najnovejšega poročila „Trendi in projekcije“, ki ga je danes objavila Evropska agencija za okolje (EEA), so se emisije toplogrednih plinov in poraba energije leta 2021 povečale predvsem zaradi okrevanja Evrope po pandemiji. Večina držav članic EU je uspešno dosegla podnebne in energetske cilje EU za leto 2020, zdaj pa svojo pozornost usmerja k podnebni nevtralnosti in pri tem rešuje tudi trenutno krizo na področju oskrbe z energijo. Da bi dosegli ambicioznejše podnebne in energetske cilje za leto 2030, bo treba več kot podvojiti letni napredek pri uvajanju obnovljivih virov energije ter zmanjšati porabo energije in emisije toplogrednih plinov.

Varčevanje z energij o in krepitev obnovljivih virov energije nista ključnega pomena samo za obvladovanje trenutne energetske krize, ampak tudi za doseganje podnebne nevtralnosti,

Izvršni direktor EEA, Hans Bruyninckx.

Po podatkih iz poročila agencije EEA o trendih in projekcijah v Evropi za leto 2022 so se emisije toplogrednih plinov v Evropi po dolgem obdobju zmanjševanja povečale zaradi gospodarskega okrevanja po omejitvenih ukrepih med pandemijo covida-19, zlasti v prometnem in industrijskem sektorju ter sektorju oskrbe z energijo. Zaradi preteče energetske krize in zlasti visokih cen plina je v sektorju oskrbe z energijo delno prišlo do prehoda na ogljično intenzivnejša goriva, močna rast obnovljive energije iz zadnjih let pa se je leta 2021 upočasnila. Da bi omejili te trende je ključno, da se pri odločitvah o energetski infrastrukturi upošteva cilj glede podnebno nevtralne prihodnosti, da bi se izognili učinkom odvisnosti od ogljika. 

„V prihajajočih mesecih in letih bodo potrebni kritični ukrepi, ki bodo omogočali, da bodo lahko države članice EU izvedle ambiciozne načrte za zmanjšanje emisij in tako izpolnile podnebne cilje EU. Čeprav to zimo potrebujemo kratkoročne ukrepe za pospešitev oskrbe z energijo, s temi naložbami Evrope ne bi smeli vpeti v primež večletne odvisnosti od fosilnih goriv. Varčevanje z energijo in krepitev obnovljivih virov energije nista ključnega pomena samo za obvladovanje trenutne energetske krize, ampak tudi za doseganje podnebne nevtralnosti,“ je povedal izvršni direktor EEA Hans Bruyninckx. 

Ponovno povečanje emisij; poraba energije gre navzgor 

Glede na predhodne podatke, ki so jih posredovale države članice EU, so se emisije toplogrednih plinov od leta 2020 do leta 2021 povečale za 5 %, vključno z mednarodnim letalstvom, kljub temu pa so manjše kot pred pandemijo covida leta 2019. 

Ocene kažejo, da se je poraba primarne energije leta 2021 v primerjavi z letom 2020 povečala za 6 %, poraba končne energije pa za 5 %. Pri porabi primarne energije se meri povpraševanje po energiji, poraba končne energije pa se nanaša na to, kar končni uporabniki dejansko porabijo. To povečanje porabe energije lahko v večini pripišemo gospodarskemu okrevanju. Vpliv rastočih cen energije na letno porabo leta 2021 še ni bil opazen, vendar lahko pričakujemo, da bo leta 2022 očitnejši. 

Predhodni podatki kažejo, da so v Evropi leta 2021 obnovljivi viri energije še vedno predstavljali 22 % celotne porabe energije, kar pomeni, da se je njihova sicer močna rast iz zadnjih let ustavila. To lahko pojasnimo z manjšimi prispevki vetrne in vodne energije leta 2021, ob hkratnem ponovnem povečanju porabe energije. 

Pred nami je ključno leto glede napredka pri doseganju ciljev za leto 2030 

V prihodnjih letih bo treba za dosego podnebne nevtralnosti na dolgi rok letno znatno zmanjševati emisije. Z evropskimi podnebnimi pravili so se povečali cilji glede zmanjšanja emisij do leta 2030, kar pomeni vsaj 55-odstotno zmanjšanje neto emisij toplogrednih plinov do leta 2030 v primerjavi z ravnmi iz leta 1990. Evropski parlament in države članice se trenutno pogajajo o celovitem svežnju „Pripravljeni na 55“, pri čemer upoštevajo tudi predlagani načrt REPowerEU iz leta 2022. 

Da bi do leta 2030 dosegli cilj glede 55-odstotnega zmanjšanja neto emisij toplogrednih plinov, bi bilo treba emisije na leto povprečno zmanjšati za 134 milijonov ton ogljikovega dioksida (MtCO2 eq) v primerjavi z ocenjenimi ravnmi iz leta 2021. To je več kot dvakratno povprečno letno zmanjšanje, ki je bilo doseženo med letoma 1990 in 2020. V vseh sektorjih si je treba bistveno bolj prizadevati za zmanjšanje emisij toplogrednih plinov. Poleg tega je treba odvzem ogljikovega dioksida povečati pri rabi zemljišč, spremembi rabe zemljišč in v gozdarstvu, pri čemer bi obrnili sedanji trend zmanjševanja ponora ogljika v EU. 

Hkrati bi bilo treba v naslednjih letih znatno zmanjšati porabo energije – glede na nov predlagani cilj za leto 2030 bo treba v okviru načrta REPowerEU v obdobju 2022–2030 več kot podvojiti letne prihranke energije. Enako velja za obnovljivo energijo: od leta 2005 se je delež obnovljive energije v evropski končni bruto porabi energije vsako leto povprečno povečal za 0,8 odstotne točke. Ta delež bi bilo treba do leta 2030 povečati na 2,5 odstotne točke na leto, da bi dosegli povečani cilj glede 45 % obnovljive energije, ki je predlagan v načrtu REPowerEU. 

Čeprav je bil na ravni držav članic že dosežen znaten napredek, trenutne politike in ukrepi ne zadostujejo za izpolnitev novih ambicioznih podnebnih in energetskih ciljev. Države članice bodo do sredine leta 2023 predložile osnutke posodobitev svojih nacionalnih energetskih in podnebnih načrtov. Tako bodo imele priložnost, da okrepijo svoje ukrepe in pripravijo načrte za obdobje do leta 2030, ki bodo odražali nova prizadevanja EU in cilj podnebne nevtralnosti.

Temelječi na podatkih

Data Greenhouse gas emissions under the Effort Sharing Decision (ESD) The Effort Sharing Decision (ESD) No 406/2009/EC establishes annual greenhouse gas emission targets for Member States for the period 2013–2020. These targets concern emissions from most sectors not included in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), such as transport, buildings, agriculture and waste. Emissions from land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) and international shipping are not included. Every year, the EEA coordinates the ESD review of Member States’ greenhouse gas inventories, so that the European Commission can determine compliance with the annual ESD targets on the basis of accurate, reliable and verified emission data. Review reports and final ESD emissions are published by the European Commission. ESD emissions for the period 2005–2012 and for the latest year ("Y-1") are estimated by EEA on the basis of national GHG inventory data and ETS emissions.
Data Approximated estimates for greenhouse gas emissions The Governance Regulation ((EU) 2018/1999) requires Member States to annually report approximated greenhouse gas inventories by 31 July. A Union approximated greenhouse gas inventory is annually compiled on the basis of the Member States’ approximated greenhouse gas inventories or, if a Member State has not communicated its approximated inventories by that date, on the basis of own estimates.
Data Approximated estimates for the primary and final consumption of energy in 2021 (EEA 2021 proxies on primary and final energy consumption) The Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU (EED) and amending directive 2018/2002/EU establish a common framework for the promotion of energy efficiency within the Union in order to ensure the achievement of the Union’s target of 20 % reduction in energy consumption by 2020 and 32 % by 2030, and to pave the way for further energy efficiency improvements beyond that date. It also calls on Member States to set their own indicative national energy efficiency targets. Since early access to the most recent information on energy consumption is relevant for all stakeholders, the EEA and its European Topic Centre for Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME) produce each year a set of early estimates concerning the consumption of primary and final energy in the previous year, across the EU as a whole and in each Member State. These estimates are compatible with the scope of the energy efficiency targets for 2020 and 2030, and they correspond to the indicator codes PEC2020-2030 and FEC2020-2030 from Eurostat. The current data set concerns the EEA 2021 proxies on primary and final energy consumption (PEC2020-2030; FEC2020-2030).
Data Approximated estimates for the share of gross final consumption of renewable energy sources in 2021 (EEA 2021 RES share proxies) The Renewable Energy Directive 2009/28/EC and its recast 2018/2001/EU commit the EU to achieving a 20 % share of renewable energy sources (RES) in its gross final energy consumption by 2020, and 32 % by 2030. They also set a target of 10 % share of renewable energy in transport by 2020, and 14% by 2030. Since early access to the most recent information on the growth of RES is relevant for all stakeholders, the EEA and its European Topic Centre for Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME) produce each year a set of early estimates concerning the RES shares achieved by the countries and the EU as a whole in the previous year. The current data set concerns the EEA 2021 RES share proxies. The cut-off date for most data sources incorporated in the calculation of the approximated RES shares is 31 July of the publication year.
Data Member States' greenhouse gas (GHG) emission projections The Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action ((EU) 2018/1999) requires Member States to report national projections of anthropogenic GHG emissions. Every two years, each EU Member State shall report GHG projections in a ‘with existing measures’ scenario for the years 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035 and 2040, by gas (or group of gases) and by sector. National projections shall take into consideration any policies and measures adopted at Union level. The reported data are quality checked by the EEA and its European Topic Centre for Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME).

Kratko poročilo Managing non-packaging plastics in European waste streams — the missing part of the plastic puzzle Plastic is used in many ways and in large quantities across Europe. Environmental concerns make this a key focus for policy. Currently, most policy actions focus on plastic packaging, even though a large proportion of plastics are used for non-packaging applications, such as construction, furniture and consumer electronics. Improved reporting on the flows of non-packaging plastics is needed to inform the development of effective policies and measures that target this significant waste stream and increase resource efficiency, in line with the aims of the circular economy action plan.
Kratko poročilo Methane emissions in the EU: the key to immediate action on climate change This briefing provides an overview of the key sources of methane (CH4) in the EU and the trends in and drivers of emissions since 1990. It looks at projections, policies and measures implemented, and relevant EU legislation in force and forthcoming. It also describes the main EU and international policy processes for reducing CH4 emissions, which contribute to achieving the objectives of the Paris Agreement and climate neutrality. The EEA has developed a ‘methane emissions’ visualisation tool to underpin the briefing, where users can see countries’ CH4 emissions as reported in their greenhouse gas inventories.

Indicator Assessment Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in Europe Greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture sector are covered by national annual emission targets. Between 2005 and 2019, the EU’s agriculture emissions remained stable. Current national projections only foresee a modest decline of 2% by 2030, compared with 2005 levels, and a 5% reduction with the implementation of currently planned measures. This projected progress remains largely insufficient and highlights the need for further action if Member States are to reach their binding annual targets and the EU its climate neutrality goal by 2050.
Indicator Assessment Primary and final energy consumption in Europe The Covid-19 pandemic had a profound impact on energy consumption in the European Union. In 2020, the EU’s primary energy consumption (for all energy uses) experienced a historical drop following 2 years of moderate reductions. Final energy consumption (by end users) also saw a significant decrease, albeit less pronounced. This contributed to the EU meeting their 2020 energy efficiency targets for both primary and final energy consumption. A rebound must be avoided; and long-term reductions remain necessary to achieve the EU’s energy and climate objectives for 2030 and 2050.
Indicator Assessment Share of energy consumption from renewable sources in Europe With a 21.3% share of energy consumed from renewable sources in 2020, the EU has reached its headline target (20%) for 2020, according to EEA early estimates. This success builds upon years of consistent work by all Member States, even if national progress is uneven. The exceptional circumstances of 2020, marked by disruptions in all economic sectors due to the pandemic, have facilitated meeting the renewable energy target by lowering total energy consumption. An unprecedented transformation in the energy system will still be necessary to meet the 32% renewable energy target set for 2030.
Indicator Assessment Greenhouse gas emission intensity of fuels and biofuels for road transport in Europe In 2019, the EU was not on track to meet its target to reduce the greenhouse gas emission intensity of fuels sold for road transport to 6% below 2010 levels by 2020. Between 2010 and 2019, emission intensity decreased by 4.3%, mostly due to the increased use of biofuels. Finland and Sweden are the only Member States whose emission intensities decreased by more than 6%, with the Netherlands reporting a 5.8% reduction in 2019. If the indirect land use change (ILUC) effects of biofuel production are considered, the emission intensity of fuels sold in the EU also decreased between 2018 and 2019, due to the limited substitution of oil crops as feedstocks by sugars.
Indicator Assessment Use of renewable energy for transport in Europe The share of energy from renewable sources used for transport in the EU increased from under 2% in 2005 to almost 9% in 2019. Preliminary EEA data indicate that in 2020, this increased further to 10.1%. This suggests that collectively the EU countries reached the 10% target for share of energy from renewable sources in all forms of transport. However, EEA preliminary estimates show that this target was actually achieved by less than half of EU Member States.
Indicator Assessment Greenhouse gas emissions from transport in Europe Greenhouse gas emissions from the EU’s transport sector increased steadily between 2013 and 2019, a trend that diverges significantly from those in other sectors during that period. Preliminary estimates for 2020 indicate a substantial drop in transport emissions, due to decreased activity during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is anticipated that transport emissions will rebound after 2020. National projections compiled by the EEA indicate that even with measures currently planned in the Member States, domestic transport emissions will only drop below their 1990 level in 2029. International transport emissions (aviation and maritime) are projected to continue increasing.
Indicator Assessment Greenhouse gas emission intensity of electricity generation in Europe The greenhouse gas emission intensity of power generation in the EU has been continuously decreasing over the last three decades: generating 1 kilowatt hour in 2020 emitted, on average, half as much CO 2 as in 1990. Policies have been playing an important role in driving this shift towards less carbon-intensive energy sources, in particular those addressing climate change, renewable energy supply and efficient energy use, and industrial emissions. The Covid-19 pandemic hardly affected electricity use in 2020, but the continued growth of renewable electricity caused a further drop in the greenhouse gas emission intensity of electricity generation.
Indicator Assessment New registrations of electric vehicles in Europe The uptake of electric vehicles in Europe is increasing, in line with the EU’s policy objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport. However, market penetration remains relatively low. In 2019, electric car registrations were close to 550 000 units, having reached 300 000 units in 2018. This represents an increase from 2 to 3.5 % of total car registrations. The uptake of electric vans also increased, from 0.8 % of total registrations in 2018 to 1.3 % in 2019. Battery electric vehicles, rather than plug-in hybrid, accounted for the majority of electric vehicle registrations in 2019 for cars and vans.
