The highest costs are caused by the pollution from power plants, whose estimated damage is €66–112 billion. This is the largest sole contributor but other activities also add significant costs, such as production processes (€23–28 billion) and manufacturing combustion (€8–21 billion).
Some sectors have been excluded from the EEA analysis, e.g. transport, households and most agricultural activities. Had these been included in the report the final cost of pollution would be even higher.

The report provides also an interesting analysis on health issues and the energy system, and can be useful for raising people's awareness on the energy costs on citizens.
