This article provides an estimate based on various data sets of the European Union (EU) emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) induced by the final use of products. Eurostat estimates the EU's CO2 emissions from final use to be 9 tonnes per capita per year.The modelling-estimations are based on environmentally extended input-output tables which have been compiled for the very first time for the aggregated EU. The integrated data form a powerful basis for researchers and policy advisors – some illustrative examples related to environmental and macro-economic policies are presented in this statistical article.
