In April European Renewable Energy Council (EREC), a project partner of Energy Union, outlined in its new report “RE-thinking 2050” a pathway how the European Union can switch to a 100% renewable energy supply for electricity, heating and cooling as well as transport, examining the effects on Europe’s energy supply system and on CO2 emissions.
“The potential benefits of a future based on renewable energy are multiple: mitigating climate change, ensuring energy security and creating sustainable future-oriented jobs,” said Arthouros Zervos, President of EREC. Moving to a 100% renewable energy future could mean 6.1 million people would be working in the European energy sector by 2050.
EREC created a website to present its study and to give people the chance to support it: www.rethinking2050.eu
Energy Union supports the findings of this scientific study and promotes the usage of Intelligent Energy, renewable energies and increased energy efficiency.
