Renewable Energy Objective: Increased share of renewable energy in energy use Expected outcomes A less carbon-dependent economy Increased renewable energy production Increased use of renewable energy in the transport sector Increased feed-in of renewable energy to existing energy infrastructures Developed strategies to improve the use of green investment schemes Improved capacity at national, regional and local level on renewable energy solutions Increased awareness of and education in renewable energy solutions Relevance of support Renewable sources of energy – wind power, solar power (thermal, photovoltaic and concentrated), hydro-electric power, tidal power, aero-thermal, geothermal energy, and biomass – are essential alternatives to fossil fuels. Their use reduces greenhouse gas emissions and diversifies the energy supply. The growth of renewable energy sources also stimulates employment in Europe, the creation of new technologies and increased trade. The introduction of renewable energy will contribute as such to a necessary energy source shift towards a less carbon-dependent economy. Suggested activities Activities to increase the use of bio-based solutions Measures for increased use of renewable energy Measures for increased use of renewable energy in transport (e.g. biofuels) Infrastructure development (e.g. networks) relevant for renewable energy Capacity-building, e.g. in respect of developing plans and policies Co-processing in industry, e.g. by using waste as an energy source
