CO2 emissions induced by EU’s final use of products are estimated to be 9 tonnes per capita

Eurostat estimates the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) induced by EU's final use of products to be 9 tonnes per capita and year. The modelling-estimations are based on environmentally extended input-output tables which have been compiled for the very first time for the aggregated EU. The integrated data form a powerful basis for researchers and policy advisors – some illustrative examples related to environmental and macro-economic policies are presented in this Statistics in Focus.
