air-pollution-spainPOLLUTION levels in Spain increased more than any other European country in 2015, a new study reveals.

CO2 emissions rose by 4% last year in Spain with a 23% increase in the use of electricity to blame, according to the Observatory of Sustainability.

Emissions from vehicles also grew by 3.4% in 2015 according to the report.

Chief investigator José Santamarta has slammed the European CO2 trading market designed to cut carbon emissions, claiming current prices per tonne of CO2 emitted are too low to be prohibitive.
