Data from: Sectorial pathways to achieve net-zero and 1.5°C targets for Eu-27: Energy and emissions data to inform science-based decarbonization targets

This data paper provides an overview of an accompanying dataset of energy
and emission pathways for the EU-27 member countries and the EU-27 as a
region, with details provided on an individual country and overall
regional basis. This data paper is aligned with previous research the
authors undertook for Group of Twenty (G20) member states, which contains
country-based decarbonisation pathways that align with a global carbon
budget between 400 GtCO2 and 500 GtCO2, to limit the mean global
temperature rise to 1.5°C, with an over 50% likelihood [1]. The regional
share of the EU-27 is defined as 32 GtCO2. The detailed
country-specific data sets contain annual CO2 emissions, Scope 1, 2, and 3
emissions, industry- and country-specific energy intensities, as well as
energy consumption and production values up to 2050 in 5-year increments.
The data was calculated with the 1.5 °C sectoral pathways of the One Earth
Climate Model (OECM) —an integrated energy assessment model developed by
the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) - to support science-based
decarbonization target setting for industries, financial institutions, and
government organizations.
