Energy Scenarios

Explore the future of European Energy

Supporting the European Green Deal

Why this Tool

The aim of this tool is to explain how energy is produced and used in the EU, today and in the future. The tool helps to understand the magnitude and speed of the projected changes, in other words, to understand the energy transition!

Are you curious about the possible energy futures of your country in 2030 and in 2050, when aiming for climate neutrality?

The tool

This is the first online tool that visualises complex energy data with just a few clicks. The tool is an interactive application that works on all devices. By selecting different views and sectors, the user can visualise the most important energy options in the EU and in European countries. The data is updated on a regular basis to introduce new scenarios or regions.

Disclaimer

Data may differ from the reporting of original sources (such as other PRIMES model results) due to differences in sectoral scope and energy product scope.

For future scenarios, JRC includes the conversion losses of liquid biofuel and biogas production from lignocellulosic sources in the energy consumption of the Energy Industries and in the total energy use of bioenergy. More and more energy scenarios include those losses even though they currently do not fall within the boundary of energy balances statistics. Conversion losses are estimated by JRC and differ from model results.

This data is used only for comparison purposes and cannot be considered as official data of the EU Reference scenario 2020 or MIX scenario.

Scenarios are not forecasts - they describe possible future options.
