Renewable Energy, European Heat and Cooling Markets, Standardisation

摘要

The development of renewable energy remains high on the agenda of European energy policy. However, the take-off of renewable energy is still on hold with prospects of only 9 to 10 % for the share of renewables in the EU energy mix by 2010 instead of the 12 % target. Therefore the European Commission has adopted a detailed action plan in December 2005 designed to increase the use of energy from forestry, agriculture and waste materials.
