October 25 (SeeNews) - The commitment of the EU to cut greenhouse gases brought about the climate and energy package, which has set ambitious targets for at least 20% cut in emissions of greenhouse gases by 2020, compared with 1990 levels, a 20% cut in energy consumption and a 20% increase in the share of renewables in the energy mix of the bloc. It was exactly the desire of the EU to tackle the climate issue and its deepening reliance on natural gas imports that gave stronger impetus to renewable energy across Europe through Directive 2009/28/EC. As the member states were in different stages of introducing green sources to their energy mix, the proposed RES target varied between countries.
