The European Union is at the forefront of the global energy transition, aiming to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. To reach this goal, the EU has set ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. These targets have accelerated the shift from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources and improved energy efficiency. Key legislative measures, including the revised Renewable Energy Directive and the newly adopted hydrogen and decarbonised gas market package, emphasize the importance of renewable energy consumption, energy efficiency, and the integration of cleaner energy into the EU's energy system. President Ursula von der Leyen's clean industrial deal highlights the focus on investing in clean energy infrastructure and technologies to boost industrial competitiveness and drive down energy prices. However, challenges such as the need to adapt energy infrastructure to accommodate low-carbon sources, address raw material dependencies, and secure massive investments remain. The EU's commitment to energy transition must also ensure energy security and affordability while advancing towards a sustainable and competitive energy landscape.
