Foreword
This is the second publication of the environmental brochures series, where we gathered the basic data and information from environmental statistics (environment, energy, transport). Environmental data are the basis for determining numerous indicators, such as green growth indicators, well-being indicators and sustainable development indicators. They are also the basis for development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of European environmental policy, especially the sixth Environment Action Programme covering the period 2002-2012. These data are also needed for monitoring energy and transport trends, which must satisfy the objectives of the EU 2020 strategy, particularly in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and introduction of energy from renewable energy sources.
The brochure shows the data on quantities of natural resources available to us and criteria for the quality of environment which we live in and also human pressures on the environment. Data and information are linked in a statistical story where clearly and simply written comments are intertwined with graphic and tabular displays. In this manner we strive for better understanding and use of presented data and information among our users - especially for easier understanding and knowledge of current environmental, energy and transport situation in Slovenia and the European Union.
You are kindly invited to start exploring our new publication entitled Environment, Energy and Transport in Figures and make optimum use of it.

ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY AND TRANSPORT IN FIGURES
ENVIRONMENT AND IMPACTS ON IT
Initiatives which put to the forefront well-being and sustainable development lately more often appear at the European and global level. Environmental, social, economic, political and other issues are often linked with each other; therefore, they can not and should not be considered separately. For the well-being of humanity, rapid economic growth alone is not enough. We are increasingly more aware of the importance of the planetary ecosystem: it supplies us with raw materials and energy, accepts waste and harmful emissions, provides us with ecosystem services and is a place for living and various activities.
Environment, energy and transport are linked together
The publication presents three areas that are closely intertwined -environment, energy and transport. Among the environmental data we present data showing the state of our water and air, investments in environmental protection, data on waste and its treatment, and some selected data related to forests, which are a very important part of the environment. Comprehensive information is presented also in the field of energy and transport as these two economic fields have strong impact on environment and its state.
Slovenia has experienced many changes in the last decade which are mostly consequences of transition, restructuring of the economic and social system, and accession to the European Union. The accelerated development of economy and consumer society also increased pressures on the environment. We are facing many large and complex environmental problems, which include: air and water pollution, waste generation and disposal, unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, loss of biodiversity, consequences of climate change, etc.
Energy moves the world
Energy is an issue in many connections; for example, in connection with the assurance of energy supply, in terms of competitiveness, but also in relation to impacts on the environment. The energy sector has a significant impact on economic development and the quality of life, but has several negative environmental impacts due to greenhouse gas emissions, use of non-renewable energy sources and location of energy facilities. Solutions are reflected in integrated planning, the efficient energy use and use of renewable energy sources.
Carrying capacities of the environment are already exceeded
Humanity greatly affects ecosystems with the increase in population and growing consumption of raw materials and energy. Increase in material well-being makes worse the quality of the environment and depletes natural resources. Carrying capacities are already exceeded and this applies also to the Slovenian territory.
Transport enables greater mobility of people and goods
In transport too there appears a dilemma regarding the relation between its positive and negative impacts. In addition to all its advantages (high level of accessibility and mobility), it causes many negative effects, such as air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and associated climate change, fossil fuel consumption, noise, traffic accidents, etc.

greenhouse gas emissions — Kyoto target 2008-2012
Source: ARSO
■ In accordance with the Kyoto Protocol, in the 2008-2012 period Slovenia should reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases by 8% on average compared to the base year emissions (calculated as the sum of CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions in 1986 and F-gases emissions in 1995).
In 2009 greenhouse gas emissions decreased distinctly.
■	In 2009, which is already in the target period, greenhouse gas emissions were almost 5% lower than set base year emissions (which amount to 20,354 Gg CO2 equivalent).
■	In the observed period the amount of greenhouse gas emissions varied considerably; in the last decade it even increased. The first significant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions was recorded in 2009, namely by almost 10% over the previous year - most likely this decline was due to the economic crisis in Slovenia and worldwide.
■	In 2009, the majority of greenhouse gas emissions originated from the field of energy, namely 82%. The majority of these emissions resulted from the fossil fuel consumption in transport and in energy production. The second largest share of emissions originated from agriculture, slightly more than 10%; slightly more than 4% of total emissions originated from industrial processes and slightly more than 3% from waste landfills and solvent and other product use.

■ In 2009, 83% of greenhouse gas emissions were represented by carbon dioxide, slightly more than 10% by methane, 6% by nitrous oxide and the remaining by hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride. From the base year 1986 to 2008 the amount of carbon dioxide emissions increased by more than 10%, and then in 2009 decreased by almost 12% over the previous year.
The largest share of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions originates from the use of fossil fuels for energy production.

■ Quantities of greenhouse gas emissions in the energy sector were very different among different activities. The majority was generated by fossil fuel consumption in energy production, namely around 40% of total emissions. The second largest quantity of emissions originated from the use of fossil fuels in transport; these emissions were increasing since the base year and in 2008 almost reached the emissions from energy production and then in 2009 (due to the economic crisis) decreased by almost 14%. Greenhouse gas emissions generated by fuel consumption in manufacturing and construction were decreasing since 1986; in 2009 just over 12% of total emissions were generated in these activities.

According to the amount of greenhouse gas emissions per capita Slovenia is ranked just above the EU-27 average.
■	Most greenhouse gas emissions per capita were generated in Luxembourg (more than 26 tons of CO2 equivalent per capita), followed by Estonia and Ireland (each with slightly more than 15 tons of CO2 equivalent per capita), the Czech Republic and Finland (each with slightly more than 13 tons of CO2 equivalent per capita). Slovenia was (with slightly more than 10 tons of CO2 equivalent per capita) ranked just above the EU-27 average. The least greenhouse gas emissions per capita were generated in Latvia (5 tons of CO2 equivalent per capita).
■	The total quantity of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU varies considerably. In 2008, greenhouse gas emissions in the EU-27 amounted to almost 5,000 million tons of CO2 equivalent. Among the EU Member States most greenhouse gas emissions were generated in Germany (over 19%), followed by the United Kingdom (just under 13%), Italy and France (each with 11%) and Spain and Poland (each with 8%). Slovenia was with 0.4% of total greenhouse gas emissions ranked among the smaller producers of these gases.

Since 2008 the consumption of water in households has been decreasing.
■ In 2010, too, the largest amount of water from public water supply was delivered to households (51%). 2% of water was supplied but uncharged; this is water that is used for street hydrants and for fire extinguishing purposes. Almost 28% of water was lost within the waterworks network because of the outdated water supply system.

■	Waste water can be treated by three processes: the processes of primary treatment - they can be mechanical or chemical, they remove only a small part of the organic load; the processes of secondary treatment - they are mostly biological, they remove the major part of the organic load; the processes of tertiary treatment - besides the organic loads they also remove most of the nutrient loads.
■	Recently less and less waste water has been treated with the processes of primary treatment; in 2010 only 2% of waste water was treated by these processes. More and more waste water is treated with secondary and tertiary processes. The amount of waste water treated with the processes of secondary treatment increased since 2003 by 381% or from 23 million m3 (in 2003) to almost 90 million m3 (in 2010). In 2003 the processes of tertiary treatment in Slovenia almost did not exist, but in 2010 more than 26% of waste water or 34 million m3 of waste water was treated with these processes.

Slovenia is first according to investments for environmental protection in the public sector in terms of total GDP.
■	Among the EU-27 Member States there are large differences in the share of gross investments for environmental protection in terms of GDP. There are also large differences between the shares of gross investments for this purpose in industry and the shares of gross investments for this purpose in the public sector. Only in Romania, Spain, Hungary and Germany the investments in industry and in the public sector were comparable. In Slovenia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Italy and France more funds were invested in the public sector. In the remaining Member States investments for environmental protection were higher in industry.

Lately Slovenia has been generating less waste.
■	In 2010, Slovenia generated 6.6 million tons of waste. Up to 2008 the amount of waste increased, while after 2008 the economic crisis began to influence also this area. The trend reversed and the amount of waste started to reduce. In 2010, Slovenia generated 2% less waste than in 2007, mainly due to less waste generated in production and service activities (approximately 3% compared to 2007).
■	In 2010, municipal waste in Slovenia represented 13% of total generated waste. The remaining 87% of waste was industrial waste; this waste included construction waste, waste from production activity, waste from agriculture, waste from services and other waste.

The amount of landfilled waste is decreasing.
■	Since 2006 the amount of waste that was landfilled has been decreasing. Compared to 2006, in 2010 the amount of landfilled waste decreased by more than a third.
■	In recent years the amount of waste that was exported has also decreased; the amount of imported waste has been varying but all these years it has been larger than the amount of exported waste. Mainly we import separately collected fractions designated for recovery.
More and more waste is recycled and reused.
■	Since 2002 Slovenia has been recovering around 60% of waste (including waste generated in Slovenia and waste imported from abroad designated for recovery). The share of recovered waste slightly varies between the years; however, it stays more or less the same. In 2010, Slovenia recovered 65% of waste. The share of waste disposed by incineration as one of the processes of waste treatment decreased from almost 8% to about 4%.
■	The most important process of waste recovery is recycling. From 2002 to 2010 the share of recycled waste increased by more than 60%. In 2010 Slovenia recycled more than 80% of metal waste and waste paper, more than a half of plastic waste, around 40% of glass waste and wood waste, and only 8% of textile waste.

■	Consumption of unleaded motor gasoline 95 prevailed in transport until 2003; in 2004 it was overtaken by diesel oil. In 2009, the consumption of the majority of fuels decreased. Consumption of unleaded motor gasoline 95 and 98 and kerosene continued to decrease in 2010. Consumption of diesel oil and biofuels remained about the same as in the previous year (2009), whereas consumption of electricity and liquefied petroleum gas increased.
■	The structure of fuel consumption in transport in 2010 was as follows: diesel oil accounted for almost 64% of total fuel consumption in transport, unleaded motor gasoline 95 almost 29%, unleaded motor gasoline 98 around 3%, liquid biofuels 1.6%, kerosene 1.4%, electricity 0.8% and liquefied petroleum gas 0.3%.

4. METHODOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS AND DEFINITIONS
AIR
Emission is a discharge of particulate gaseous or soluble waste material into the air from pollution sources.
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere which restrain thermal radiation of the Earth: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).
WATER
A water resource is a source of water that is collected for public water supply or for the technological process and cooling in enterprises. Water resources are: groundwater of larger aquifers, springs of groundwater, springs of groundwater with surface water inflow, running waters, natural lakes, artificial lakes, run-off rain water and artificial recharge.
Fresh water is drawn from water resources in its natural state or is processed by the usual methods (coagulation, filtration, disinfection).
Waste (polluted) water is water which is of no further immediate value to the purpose for which it was used or in the pursuit of which it was produced because of its quality, quantity or time of occurrence. Waste water is after use or as atmospheric precipitation discharged into public sewage or waters. Waste water can be municipal waste water, industrial/process waste water or drainage waste water.
Sewage system consists of a network of feeders, channels, gutters and other equipment for draining waste water which are connected with the sewage network and from which drainage of waste water from buildings and drainage water from roofs and from hardened, paving or other covered area is assured.
Treatment plant is a device for treatment of waste water which reduces or eliminates water pollution. Treatment plants can be urban, industrial or independent.
INVESTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Investment for environmental protection in industry is all the
investment for environmental protection from fields of activity C, D, E under NACE Rev. 1.
End-of-pipe investment is intended for new methods, technologies, processes or equipment designated for collecting or removing pollution and pollutants (e.g. air emissions, waste depositing effluents), treating and disposing of pollutants and regular measuring the level of the pollution (specially end-of-pipe as e.g. emission filters, wastewater treatment plants, collecting water and waste management).
Investment in integrated technologies is intended for new or modification of existing methods, technologies, processes or equipment designated to prevent or reduce amount of pollution created in the production process and thereby associated releases of pollutants (reducing environmental impact).
WASTE
Waste is any material or object from one of the groups of waste of the List of Waste, which the causer or other person who possesses it, removes, intends to or must remove it. Substances which are emitted in the air and materials which are discharged to the water or to the sewage system are not considered to be waste. Municipal waste is waste from households, as well as other waste from production, trade, service or other activity, which, because of its nature or composition, is similar to waste from households.

Methodological explanations and definitions
ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY AND TRANSPORT IN FIGURES
Hazardous waste is waste which has one or more of dangerous characteristics.
Waste oils, oxides, salts, acids, lye, concentrates, colours, lacquers, bitumen, agrochemical and pharmaceutical preparations, special waste from hospitals and other organic or inorganic hazardous waste are considered to be hazardous waste.
Hazardous wastes are classified by the Decree on Waste Management (OJ RS, No. 34/08) in the List of Waste together with other waste and have asterisk behind the number of waste classification. Waste recovery is designed for beneficial use of waste or waste components, comprising first of all recycling, reuse, composting, use of waste in fuelling devices and industrial ovens, and use of waste for fuel generation. Incineration of waste and other thermal procedures designed for waste disposal are not considered to be waste recovery. Waste disposal is an operation aimed at final treatment of waste that cannot be recovered, comprising mostly different waste processing procedures and waste landfilling.
FORESTS
Forest is according to the Forest Act a land covered by forest trees in a stand or other forest vegetation, which provides any of the functions of the forest. In line with the legislation forest includes also any afforestation areas, which are defined as forest in the spatial part of the forest management plan. Complete definition of the forest is determined in the Forest Act.
Forests available for wood supply (Eurostat definition) are forests intended for the production of wood, for which there is no legal, economic or environmental constrains that would affect the supply of wood.
Protective forests are forests which protect land from landslides, soil leaching and breaking, forests on steep slopes or water banks, forests exposed to strong winds, forests which in torrential areas withhold
excessive outflow of water and hence protect the land from erosion and landslides, forest belts which protect forests and land from wind, water, snowdrifts and avalanches, forests in agricultural and suburban landscape with distinct function of biodiversity conservation and forests at the upper limit of forest vegetation. Forest reserves are forests with the special purpose of extremely emphasised research function. These are forests that are due to their developmental stage and current development extremely important for research, study and monitoring of the natural development of forests, biodiversity and protection of natural values and cultural heritage.
ENERGY
Biofuels are liquid or gaseous fuels for transport produced from bio-mass. According to Directive 2003/30/EC on the promotion of the use of biofuels or other renewable fuels for transport at least the following products shall be considered as biofuels: bioethanol, biodiesel, biogas, biomethanol, biodimethylether, bio-ETBE (ethyl-tertio-butyl-ether), bio-MTBE (methyl-tertio-butyl-ether), synthetic biofuels, biohydrogen and pure vegetable oil.
Share of electricity from renewable energy sources in gross electricity consumption is the ratio between electricity produced from renewable energy sources and gross electricity consumption. Gross electricity consumption is electricity generation plus import minus export of electricity
Non-energy use covers those energy products that are used as raw materials in the different sectors and are not consumed as a fuel or transformed into another fuel.
Ton of oil equivalent (toe) expresses the amount of heat released in the combustion of one ton of oil. Toe is an accounting unit used for expressing energy consumption in energy balances. 1,000 toe = 41.868 TJ

TRANSPORT
Carriage is the conveying of passengers or goods over a given distance, i.e. from boarding/loading to alighting/unloading. It is shown as the number of passengers carried or the quantity of goods carried.
Traffic in the narrow sense is movement of vehicles, passengers and goods. It is shown as the number of passengers who have arrived or departed, or as the quantity of goods arrived or dispatched at stations (railway stations, bus stations, ports, airports, depots, etc.).
Ton-kilometres (tkm) are the aggregate product of the quantity of goods multiplied by the distances over which they have been conveyed. One tkm is the transport of one ton over one kilometre. Number of passenger cars per 1,000 population. The number of passenger cars and the number of population on 31 December are taken into account. Special purpose passenger cars are excluded.
Average age of passenger cars. Passenger cars registered in Slovenia are included. Special purpose passenger cars are excluded. Airport passenger traffic at the Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport is shown as to the origin/destination of the aircraft flight. Scheduled transport is transport that operates according to a published timetable, or with such a regular frequency that it constitutes an easily recognisable systematic series of flights. Non-scheduled transport is transport other than that reported under scheduled service.
Person killed in a traffic accident is any person killed immediately or dying within 30 days as a result of an injury accident.
