Abstract: | The climate change due to fossil fuel based energy generation, the highly volatile fossil
fuel prices and the resulting economic challenges have confronted us with the world we have created. Like a big mirror it has revealed the fragility of our society. The increase of energy efficiency and deployment of renewable energy technologies seems to be the most promising effort that we can make to orienting societies in direction of a sustainable future. During the last decades, the European Union has adopted targets for the expanded use of renewable energies with threefold aims: to mitigate man-made c1imate change, to improved energy security and efficiency and to ensure the competitiveness of the European economies. This paper focuses on the directives and target proposed by the European Union. |
