Copernicus Supports Europe's Renewable Energy Goals

Renewables, such as wind and solar, will play a key role in achieving the European Green Deal targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and becoming climate-neutral by 2050. However, green energy comes with its own challenges, not least of which is the variable nature of the resource. Data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) help to assess the variability of renewable energy resources, such as wind power, with authoritative information about the past, present and potential future climate in Europe.
