The 2007 report provides an update of the “Trends to 2030” published in 2003 (and updated in 2005). The new “baseline” takes into account the high energy import price environment prevailing in recent years, steady economic growth and energy / environment policies and measures implemented in the Member States up to the end of 2006. The results were derived with the PRIMES model by a consortium led by the National Technical University of Athens, supported by some more specialized models. These projections to 2030 encompass energy demand, transformation, imports and production by fuel and sector. The report also gives, in the annex, a breakdown of the main energy and transport variables as well as energy related CO2 emissions for all 27 Member States.
