CO2 emissions from transport in the EU27: An analysis of 2007 data submitted to the UNFCCC

All figures apply to CO2 emissions in the EU27 and include emissions from international aviation and shipping, unless otherwise stated.

• Between 1990 and 2007, transport emissions increased by 35.6% while emissions from other sectors decreased by -8.9%;
• The share of transport in total emissions rose from 21% in 1990 to 28% in 2007;
• Emissions from international aviation and shipping (both outside Kyoto) have risen by 109% and 60% respectively. In 2007 they accounted for 6.9% of the total, and 24% of transport emissions. In 1990, these figures were 3.8% and 18% respectively.
• Emissions from shipping have grown by 0.9% between 2006 and 2007.
• Emissions from aviation have increased by 2.8%. After two consecutive years, when maritime transport overtook aviation as the fastest growing source of CO2 emissions in the EU-27, aviation growth is faster again.
