Becoming the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050 is the objective behind the European Green Deal, the most ambitious package of measures that should enable European citizens and businesses to benefit from sustainable green transition. The use of renewable energy has numerous undeniable benefits, including decarbonization of the energy mix and a reduced dependency on fossil fuels. The growth of renewable energy sources may also stimulate employment in the EU, through the creation of jobs in new ‘green’ technologies.
