Goal 7: 4. Main Eurostat Indicators
Key trends in “Affordable and clean Energy” in Europe show the following evidence (Eurostat Report, pp. 145 and ss):

- EU citizens on average consumed less energy at home in 2017 than they did in 2002, but further reductions are needed;
- Both energy productivity and greenhouse gas intensity of energy consumption have improved almost continuously since 2000;
- A rising share of renewables in electricity, heating, cooling and transport has put the EU on track to meeting its 2020 renewable energy target;
- Imports of crude oil, natural gas and hard coal have been expanding since 2002 to meet the EU’s energy demand;
