An in-depth analysis of the energy consumption & CO2 emissions of the European glass industry is presented. The analysis is based on data of the EU ETS for the period 2005-2007 (Phase I). The scope of this study comprises the EU glass industry as a whole & its 7 subsectors. The analysis is based on an assignment of the glass installations (c450) within the EU ETS to the corresponding subsectors & an adequate matching of the respective production volumes. A result is the assessment of the overall final energy consumption (fuel, electricity) as well as the overall CO2 emissions (process, combustion & indirect emissions) of the glass industry & its subsectors in the EU25/27. Moreover, figures on fuel mix as well as fuel intensity & CO2 emissions intensity (i.e. carbon intensity) are presented for each of the subsectors on aggregated levels & for selected EU Member States separately. The average intensity of fuel consumption & direct CO2 emissions of the EU25 glass industry decreased from 2005 to 2007 by about 4% & amounted in 2007 to 7.8 GJ & 0.57 tCO2 per tonne of saleable product, respectively. The economic energy intensity was evaluated with 0.46 toe/1000h (EU27).
