Despite climate policies, according to the European Environment Agency, CO2 emissions from transport have risen by 24% in the last 30 years
On 11 November, the European Environment Agency (EEA) published detailed data on the EU’s CO2 emissions, focusing on sectors and countries. The data also featured projections on the region's future development of climate measures.
One very crucial takeaway from the analysis is that, although carbon emissions from most sectors have fallen significantly for most sectors, they have increased in the transport sector by an average of 24% in 2019. Notably, the data covers the period between 1990 and 2020, when during the pandemic lockdowns many sectors saw a dramatic decrease in emissions.
On top of this, the Austrian Automotive Club (Verkehrsklubs Österreich) published an analysis of transport emissions per capita per country based on the EEA data for 2020. These are calculated using the total amount of fuel purchased in a given country.
According to their publication, the country with the highest emissions per capita from transport is Luxembourg at an impressive 7,355 kilograms of CO2 per capita. The Grand Duchy is followed by Austria in second place with just 2,300 kilograms, while the EU 27 average sat at 1,545 kilograms.
On the other side of the spectrum, Romania had the lowest amount with 925 kilograms, followed by Malta with 970 and Slovakia with 1,250.
According to data from Eurostat for 2019, Luxembourg was the country in the EU with the highest car ownership rate per inhabitant, at 681 cars per 1,000 people. This data may be somewhat relevant to explaining why the Grand Duchy has such a high CO2 per capita ratio.
However, in the same publication, Eurostat put Italy in second place with 666 cars per 1,000 people. Moreover, Luxembourgish authorities have tried to introduce policies to cut back on car trips, including making public transport in the country free.
Also, due to the high number of cross-border work commuters, they launched a free cross-border public transport system that reaches all the way into neighbouring France at the start of 2022. Nevertheless, emissions seem to remain high.
Here is a list of the EU 27 by emissions from transport, from the Austrian Automotive Club research:
