European energy and transport : trends to 2030

This report provides an update of the trends to 2030 published in 2003. The new baseline takes into account a high energy import price environment, the unsatisfactory economic growth of recent years and the more subdued growth prospects taking into account demographic developments. It includes, furthermore, new policies and measures implemented in the Member States. The results were derived with the PRIMES model by a consortium led by the National Technical University of Athens, supported by some more specialised models. These projections to 2030 encompass energy demand, transformation, imports and production by fuel and sector. They also give, in the annex, a breakdown of the main energy and transport variables by Member State.
