Renewable energy by 2030 may increase to 34%.
According to the report of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in the EU by 2030, the share of energy from renewable sources may increase to 34%.
Doubling the participation from 2016 would require additional investment of approximately EUR 368 billion, which would represent an average annual contribution of 0.3%. EU GDP. With the increase in the share of energy from renewable sources, greenhouse gas emissions would decrease by another 15 percent. until 2030. This corresponds to the emission values in Italy. These reductions would force the EU to achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40%. compared to the 1990 level. Furthermore, with the increase of RES share by 2030, it can be saved from 44 to 113 billion euros due to lower energy, environmental and health costs. Increased use of heat pumps and electric vehicles would increase electricity production from renewable energy sources up to 27 percent total final energy consumption, whereas in a normal growth scenario, it would increase to 24%. The share of renewable energy sources in the electricity sector will increase to 50% in 2030. compared to 29 percent in 2015, and for the end user, the share of energy from renewable sources will be 42 percent. energy in buildings, 36 per cent in industry and 17% in transport. In addition, all renewable transport options - including electric vehicles and advanced and conventional biofuels - are needed to achieve the long-term EU targets for decarbonisation. The report confirms that the cost of renewable energy has fallen significantly in recent years and that this must be taken into account in the upcoming negotiations on on a European policy on renewable energy sources.
