Approach for baseline emission projections

• Match RAINS estimates with nationally reported emission inventories for 2000

• Use projections on emission generating activities (energy, transport, agriculture) – EU-wide scenarios and national projections

• Extrapolate penetration rates of control measures up to 2020– Taking account of international and national legislation

Economic drivers for emission projections

Projections of economic activitiesused for the CAFE baseline scenarios

Energy

• Revised PRIMES projection for all 25 EU countries, with climate measures (carbon price 12-20 €/t CO2)

– Including national comments received after April

• DG-TREN Energy Outlook to 2030 (PRIMES calculations for all 25 EU countries, without further climate measures)

• National projections (10 countries) - with climate measures?

Agriculture

• DG-AGRI projection for all 25 EU countries, pre-CAP reform

• National projections (10 countries)

Conclusions

• Emissions in the EU-25 will continue to decline in the future with progressing implementation of current legislation (except ammonia).

• However, air quality problems will remain.

• There is scope for further emission reductions:

– Starting from the “with climate measures” PRIMES projection, relatively little AQ improvements from more aggressive climate policies

– Significant scope from further technical measures beyond current legislation

• Different regions in Europe experience different environmental problems.

• No consultations with non-EU countries up to now.
