EUROZONE Renewable Energy
The EU is working to reduce the effects of climate change and establish a common energy policy.
By 2020 renewable energy should account for 20% of the EU's final energy consumption (8.5% in 2005).
Title:Renewable energy in final energy consumption (2020 target)
Definition:Share of renewable consumption to gross final energy consumption.
Comprises of direct use of renewables (e.g. biofuels) plus energy produced from renewables (e.g. wind, hydro).
Final energy consumption is the energy that households, industry, services, agriculture and the transport sector use.
