1. The data is based on 2013 emissions submitted to the European Pollution Release and Transfer Registry, except for 2015 CO2 data which is from EU ETL.
Grey = data is not reported or emissions are below the reporting threshold.

At the end of 2015 there were approximately 280 coal power stations in operation in the EU. For 257 out of these 280 the relevant pollution data from 2013 is the most recent and complete official dataset available, and so it was this which formed the basis of the
modelling undertaken for the ‘Europe’s Dark Cloud’ report1. Below is the list of these 257 plants and their associated health impacts as well as CO2 emissions2
.
