Amid the emerging global energy crisis what progress has the EU made in its ?
We sit down with EEA energy and environment expert, Mihai Tomescu in our latest 🎙️ 🍃 EEA 'climate and environment' podcast episode - out now - to discuss the state of play and how the shift to green energy sources like wind and solar can help boost energy security and resilience in Europe.
Key takeaways:
🟢 Roll-out of renewables and boosting energy efficiency has been very successful so far, with greenhouse gas emissions falling by more than a quarter from 2005 to 2020, at the same time renewables more than doubled as an energy source and final energy consumption went down as well.
🟢 There is a very clear synergy between the environmental agenda on climate mitigation and economic and security considerations.
🟢 We should use the current crisis as opportunity to improve our resilience and boost efforts in terms of reducing dependency on fossil fuel imports by increasing renewables uptake, energy efficiency, supporting a just energy transition for citizens and vulnerable consumers, and more electrification.
