Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the European Union rose slightly in 2017, mostly because of the transport sector. The rise is mostly due to the increase of oil consumption from road transport. The energy sector was able to reduce its emissions due to the decreasing share of coal used to produce electricity and heat in the EU.
