Commission presents Renewable Energy Directive revision
The revision of the Renewable Energy Directive is a key part of today''s package, which outlines how we intend to reduce emissions by 55% by 2030. By 2050, most of our energy has to come from renewable sources. Planning and building energy infrastructure takes time, so to get to net zero by mid-century, we need an unprecedented transformation
