Renewable Energy Development Needed

摘要

The targets set by the European Council fall short of the needs of Europeans, commented Estif. More could be achieved with renewables for heating and cooling, and consistent actions on energy security, afford-ability and climate protection. Aebiom, Egec, and Estif, representing the biomass, geothermal, and solar thermal sectors respectively, regret the very low level of ambition. Yet, the industry is confident in the continuity of renewable energy development. It is ready to work with the EU institutions to ensure the resulting policy framework enables the proper growth of renewable heating and cooling, in line with the high potential of this sector.
