Promoting a balanced and sustainable energy mix
The decision to increase the share of renewable energies (RE) in European consumption to 42.5% by 2030 has given a further boost to these markets. The number of projects to install renewable energy production sites is particularly high, and hydrogen projects are gaining momentum.
