EU decarbonisation efforts so far Sample Clauses

EU decarbonisation efforts so far. Until now, structural changes in the European economy and policies for supporting renewables and energy efficiency have resulted in the decoupling of economic growth from GHG emissions and energy consumption. GHG emissions in the EU peaked several decades ago, with a 24% reduction in the 1990-2019 period, while EU GDP increased by about 60% in the same period. This suggests a continuous decoupling of GDP growth from GHG emissions (Figure 1) – in fact, GHG emissions intensity of the European economy was halved during this period. Since 1990, EU emissions have reduced in all sectors but transport. The largest emission reductions have happened in sectors covered by the EU emissions trading system (ETS), mainly in electricity and heat production and in manufacturing industries, while GHG emissions from buildings have also dropped. Between 2018 and 2019 emissions from EU ETS sectors fell by 9.1% while in the same period emissions not covered by the EU ETS (including transport and buildings) remained unchanged. The Kyoto Protocol accounting shows that decreasing net credits from land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) between 2013 and 2017 stabilized in 2018. CO2 emissions from international aviation continued to increase in 2019, rising by 3% compared to 2018, but fell dramatically in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past years, economic growth and energy consumption have also decoupled, primarily due to energy efficiency measures and fuel switching to less carbon-intensive options in the EU. In the last decade, policies implemented by the EU and other climate policy frontrunners have transformed the energy sector, causing the costs of renewable energy technologies to drop. Solar PV and wind energy are now competing with fossil- produced electricity (Figure 2), turning RES into a mainstream market player, which in 2018 absorbed about two-thirds of global spending in power generation. Supported by various EU and national policy measures (e.g., EU ETS pricing, Feed-In- Tariffs, subsidies, auctions), renewable energy has been increasing continuously in the EU, with its share more than doubling since 2004, when it covered only 8.5% of gross final energy consumption. In 2019 the share of RES climbed to 19.7%, allowing the EU to meet the EU-wide target for 2020 of 20%. Moreover, since 2008, direct and indirect employment in renewable energy has more than doubled from 660 000 to 1.43 million jobs. The jobs are found in wind manufacturing and...
