The article deals with indicators framework to monitor implementation of the main EU (European Union) directives and other policy documents targeting sustainable energy development. The main EU directives which have impact on sustainable energy development are directives promoting energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources, directives implementing greenhouse gas mitigation and atmospheric pollution reduction policies and other policy documents and strategies targeting energy sector. Promotion of use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency improvements are among priorities of EU energy policy because the use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency improvements has positive impact on energy security and climate change mitigation. The framework of indicators can be developed to establish the main targets set by EU energy and environmental policies allowing to connect indicators via chain of mutual impacts and to define policies and measures necessary to achieve established targets based on assessment of their impact on the targeted indicators representing sustainable energy development aims. The article discusses the application of indicators framework for EU sustainable energy policy analysis and presents the case study of this policy tool application for Baltic States. The article also discusses the use of biomass in Baltic States and future considerations in this field.
本文论述了用于监测欧盟主要指令及其他针对可持续能源发展的政策文件实施情况的指标框架。对可持续能源发展有影响的主要欧盟指令包括促进能源效率和可再生能源利用的指令、实施温室气体减排和大气污染 reduction 政策的指令以及针对能源部门的其他政策文件和战略。促进可再生能源利用和提高能源效率是欧盟能源政策的优先事项，因为可再生能源利用和能源效率提高对能源安全和缓解气候变化有积极影响。可以制定指标框架来确定欧盟能源和环境政策设定的主要目标，通过相互影响链连接指标，并根据对代表可持续能源发展目标的目标指标的影响评估，确定实现既定目标所需的政策和措施。本文讨论了指标框架在欧盟可持续能源政策分析中的应用，并介绍了该政策工具在波罗的海国家应用的案例研究。本文还讨论了波罗的海国家生物质的使用情况以及该领域的未来考虑因素。
