The paper uses deep learning on high‑resolution socioeconomic and sectoral data to project EU27 CO₂ emissions through 2030. It finds that emissions will exceed the EU’s 55% reduction target by 35% (620 Mt CO₂ shortfall), with only a few countries on track. While the power sector is on target thanks to renewables, mobility remains a major source of emissions, indicating structural inertia across member states.
