Europe: Geothermal Energy Community Backs EU 35% Target for Renewables

Geothermal sector supports renewable energy report (Pan European Networks)

The geothermal sector has expressed support for Spanish MEP José Blanco López’ report on the Renewable Energy Directive adopted today and the high ambition on energy efficiency.

The vote in the European Parliament’s Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) strongly backs a 35% target for renewables and 40% energy efficiency in 2030.

The geothermal sector, which provides solutions for energy-efficient renewable heating and cooling, welcomes these targets that allow for a robust internal market.
