g. MELE 2007: 160 (0.5302 HRK/kWh were converted into EUR/
kWh)
h. CBS 2007: 195 – Costs of electricity, gas and other fuels per
household (6023 HRK) divided by total personal consumption
costs per household (69,457 HRK) to obtain %.
i. CBS 2007: 195 – Costs of electricity, gas and other fuels per
household member (2054 HRK) divided by total personal con-
sumption costs per household member (23,682 HRK).
j. GDP (USD 2000 constant prices PPP in 2006) divided by 410.6 PJ
(MELE 2007: 84).
k. UNDP 2007: 302
l. UNDP 2007: 306
m. Eurostat 2008 (1990 data – except for nuclear energy where
the data is from MELE 2007: 149); MELE 2007: 149-53, 184 (2006
data) – (This includes all electricity production facilities of HEP
(Croatian Power Company) in the Republic of Croatia, all indus-
trial power plants in the Republic of Croatia, other power plants
in the Republic of Croatia (not under HEP Group ownership) and
total installed electrical power capacity of renewable energy
sources).
n. Eurostat 2008 – 1.8 Mt of oil equivalent of net imports of energy
(converted into the PJ=75.4 PJ) divided by 9.1 Mt of oil equiva-
lent (UNDP 2007: 306) to obtain %.
o. CBS 2008: 56 – Total energy imports (324.86 PJ) subtracted by
total energy exports (121.15 PJ) = 203.7 PJ; to get % of total pri-
mary energy supply, 203.7 PJ is divided by 410.6 PJ (MELE 2007:
84).
p. Eurostat 2008: Net imports of electricity – 7062 GWh divided by
total electricity supply (15,755 GWh) to obtain %.
q. Eurostat 2008: net imports of electricity – 5622 GWh divided by
total electricity supply (18,052 GWh) to obtain %.

s. The Republic of Croatia ratified the Kyoto Protocol after the
baseline GHG emissions for the year 1990 were increased (by
3.5 Mt). The initial number was too low because until 1991 only
a small amount of electricity was produced in Croatia and 49%
was imported (of that, 22% was from thermal power plants from
other Yugoslav Republics, 15% from the Krško nuclear power
plant, and 11% from abroad). In 1990 only 27% of electricity was
produced in Croatian thermal power plants (MEPPPC 2007: 18).
Thus, Croatian GHG emissions were relatively low at the time
and the initial baseline was set too low considering future eco-
nomic development.
t. MEPPPC 2008: xiv unless otherwise noted
u. UNDP 2007: 310
v. In cases where data for 1990 are not available, data for the clos-
est year between 1991 and 1992 have been used.
w. 2005 year data
x. UNDP 2007: 310

z. UNDP 2007: 302
aa. Ekonerg 2006: 28
bb. CBS 2007: 353
cc. Eurostat 2008 – (Final energy demand of motor gasoline – 591
thousand tonnes – divided by the population in 1991 (4.513 million,
source: CBS 2007: 92) since the Eurostat 2008 data is from 1991.
dd. MELE 2007: 122 – (Final energy demand of motor gasoline –
711.3 thousand metric tonnes – divided by population).
ee. MELE 2007: 125 – (Final energy demand of motor gasoline –
1426.9 thousand metric tonnes – divided by population).
ff. Eurostat 2008 – 1016 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 1991
(2028 in 2006) converted into the PJ.
gg. Eurostat 2008 – 872 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 1991
(1838 in 2006) converted into the PJ. Shares were calculated by
dividing final energy demand in road transport by final energy
demand in transport.
hh. MEPPPC 2008: 28
ii. MEPPPC 2008: 28 – Shares were calculated by dividing CO 2 e
emissions from the road transport sector by the transport sec-
tor
jj. UNDP 2007: 314 unless otherwise noted
kk. MEPPPC 2008: vii
ll. UNDP 2007: 310- Per capita – respective values were divided by population
(1990=4.778 million; 2006=4.440 million, source: CBS 2007: 92). - Changes in CO 2 /CO 2 e emissions were calculated using existing
values in the table. - Carbon (equivalent) intensity of growth was calculated by divid-
ing respective CO 2 /CO 2 e emissions by GDP (USD 2000 constant
prices PPP). It is the ratio of emitted CO 2 /CO 2 e to GDP in PPP
terms. Carbon intensity of growth (also known as the carbon
intensity of economy) refers to the amount of carbon dioxide
generated by every US dollar of growth in the world economy
(UNDP 2007: 364). - Carbon (equivalent) intensity of energy was calculated by divid-
ing respective CO 2 /CO 2 e emissions by total energy used (total
primary energy supply). It is the ratio of emitted CO 2 /CO 2 e to
energy use. Carbon intensity of energy refers to the amount of
carbon dioxide generated for every unit of energy used (UNDP
2007: 364). - All calculations were made by the UNDP Croatia staff.
