Under the European Green Deal, all 27 EU member states have committed to making the EU the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. To achieve this goal, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.
The European Green Deal focuses on three key principles for transitioning to clean energy: prioritizing a renewable energy-based sector, increasing energy efficiency, and reducing overall energy consumption. In this context, the “Fit for 55” legislative package, launched in July 2021, includes proposals to revise and update EU legislation and implement new initiatives to align EU…
