REnergy- Renewable Energy Erasmus Project

Cooperation mechanisms enable EU countries to work together to meet their 2020 renewable energy targets.

The Renewable Energy Directive establishes an overall policy for the production and promotion of energy from renewable sources in the EU.

It requires the EU to fulfill at least 20% of its total energy needs with renewables by 2020 – to be achieved through the attainment of individual national targets. All EU countries must also ensure that at least 10% of their transport fuels come from renewable sources by 2020.
