Increasing the use of renewable energies offers significant opportunities for Europe to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and secure its energy supply. However, the substantial rise in the use of biomass from agriculture, forestry and waste for producing energy might put additional pressure on...

This report assesses the environmental impacts of various ways of converting the technical bioenergy potential into electricity, heat and biofuels. It is based on 2006 EEA report "How much bioenergy can Europe produce without harmig the environment".

This report provides technical background for the estimation of the environmentally compatible bioenergy potential from agriculture that the EEA published in 2006. It also gives information on agri-environmental pressures that explain the environmental conditions in the EEA scenario. Finally,...

This report is an indicator-based assessment of European Community and acceding and candidate countries’ greenhouse gas emission trends, emission projections and existing and proposed policies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2010. The report presents an assessment of the...

The purpose of this technical report is to analyse and present the progress of the European Union (EU) as a whole towards fulfilling its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol, and the contribution...

This report provides a detailed analysis and background information for the EEA report 'Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe 2004: Progress by the EU and its Member States towards achieving their Kyoto Protocol targets'. The EEA report is published separately and is an...

Projections show that the pre-2004 EU Member States (EU-15) could cut their total emissions to 7.7% below 1990 levels by 2010 with existing domestic policies and measures already being implemented and additional policies and measures currently planned. Plans by six EU-15 Member States to use...

This report explores the potential ancillary benefits for air pollution - in terms of reductions in pollutant emissions and changes in control costs and environmental impacts - resulting from different ways of implementing the Kyoto climate change protocol in Europe. It is based on a comparison...
