Renewable Energy Technology Roadmap up to 2020

The main characteristics of the present energy supply system in Europe are the dominating share of fossil fuels as well as the high dependence on energy imports. In the EU-25, fossil fuels contribute almost 80 % to the primary energy demand.

When faced with the fact that only a few EU Member States are currently on track to meet their targets for 2010, it is of utmost importance to ensure that these existing targets for Renewable Energies are being achieved and that a framework for the future is set.

This brochure shows the ambitions of the European Renewable Energy industry, while at the same time trying to make a concrete proposal for new targets.
