Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich have highlighted the potential for Europe to meet its electricity and green hydrogen demands through domestic production, contingent on the planned expansion of renewables. The institute recommends a significant increase in wind power and photovoltaics, up to four to five times the current levels, to achieve the goal of greenhouse gas neutrality by 2050. This shift could see northern and southern European countries emerging as energy suppliers for central countries like Germany, with projections indicating a hydrogen export volume of 100 billion euros by 2050. Germany, in particular, is seen as a key driver for renewables expansion, aiming for climate neutrality well ahead of the EU's target. Wind power and solar PV systems are envisioned as the primary sources of energy in Europe's future, surpassing nuclear power due to cost competitiveness and considerations of storage and transport. The EU's 'Green Deal' policies are instrumental in fostering a climate-friendly economy, aligning with the goal of achieving greenhouse gas neutrality by 2050 while sustaining economic growth and social cohesion.
