Pollutant emissions in the EU



Three types of pollution: water, earth and air
Water and earth  no information
European legislation forces to follow 91 elements  groups:









SO2
PM2.5
PM10
NOX
NMVOC
NH3
CO
Reduction  initiatives of some countries in order to carry out the
European rules about pollution
Biggest reduction  CO
Energetic Intensity in the UE


Biggest intensity in EU 12
Because of:


Energetic consumption
GDP
• Highest intensity: Bulgary
•In process of adaptation
•Lowest intensity: Ireland
•Reduction of energetic
consumption
Electricity generated from
renewable sources


Hungary  country with the
lowest % of electricity
from renewable sources
2010  3,6%
few investment
Austria  country with the
highest % of electricity
from renewable sources
2010  78,1%
exporter / hydraulic energy
and biomass
Glossary

Atmospheric pollution: matters in the air (risk and hurt to people
and nature)

Energetic Intensity: interior brute consumption of energy / GDP
Consumption includes: coal, electricity, oil, natural gas and
renewable energies

Electricity generated from renewable sources: electricity produced
from renewable sources / total consumption of electricity
Conclusions



Environment  social worry
Europe  good behaviour
EU  adaption of this kind of politics:




Small impact
Weakening of the competitiveness (relocation)
New technologies  competitive advantage
Necessity of collaboration
