In times of high energy prices, it’s even more crucial to pursue the issue on decarbonisation in heating and transport
The war in Ukraine has shown us that we need to reduce our dependency on Russian fossil fuels. To do that, we need to continue to implement the ‘Fit for 55’ package and approve the new Emissions Trading System (ETS 2) for heating and transport, argues Peter Liese

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.
