National green house gas emissions. Efficiency and decarbonization indicators in the main European Countries

In the report national trends of some energy and economic indicators have been analyzed in relation to greenhouse gas emissions and in comparison to those of the major EU countries. National indicators show: high transformation efficiency and low intensity as compared to major EU countries. Altough the EU carbon intensity is lower than the national one however, the Italian fossil fuels carbon intensity is lower than most EU countries due to the higher share of natural gas compared to the average of the EU countries.

Sharp declining of GDP and increasing of renewable energy consumption share since 2007 resulted in a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
