Energy efficiency improvement is slowing down. That is not in line with the policy announcements.
What are energy consumption trends in Europe? How to interpret the energy efficiency trends for the five past years?
In 2020, what was the status of energy efficiency? Did COVID-19 have an impact on energy savings?
Energy consumption trends
Since 2000, how are primary and final consumption evolving? What are the drivers of these evolutions? Which sector is the most dynamic?

Energy efficiency trends by end-use
To evaluate energy efficiency progress, indicators must be measured at very detailed level by sector and end-uses.
So how new cars are impacting the energy efficiency of transport sector and why energy efficiency progress is slowing down since 2014?
