According to Eurostat, CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in the EU fell by 10%
in 2020.
Eurostat said in a statement on Friday that emissions in all 27 EU member states have fallen compared to 2019 as governments put in place lockdowns to slow the spread
of the coronavirus.
Greece saw the largest decrease (-18.
7%), followed by Estonia (-18.
1%), Luxembourg (-17.
9%), Spain (-16.
2%) and Denmark (-14.
8%)
.
The smaller declines were Malta (-1%), Hungary (-1.
7%), Ireland (-2.
6%) and Lithuania (-2.
6%)
.
"The energy source with the biggest decline was coal, and consumption of oil and petroleum products has also decreased in almost all member countries, with natural gas consumption decreasing in only 15 member countries and increasing or remaining at the same level in the other 12 member countries," the statistics office revealed
.
Energy consumption accounts for about 75% of the EU's total CO2 emissions, and the emissions it produces are influenced by many factors, including economic growth, transport and industrial activities
.
As part of the European Green Deal, the EU pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55%
by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.
The EU is also committed to becoming a "climate-neutral" country
by mid-century.
