Directive 2009/28/EC

Directive 2009/28/EC is a European Union regulation that promotes the use of renewable energy sources, like wind, solar, and biomass, for electricity, heating, and transportation. Its goal is to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and support sustainable energy development across member countries. The directive sets binding renewable energy targets for each country and encourages fair sharing of benefits and responsibilities. Essentially, it provides a legal framework to help Europe shift toward cleaner, more sustainable energy sources, fostering environmental protection and energy security.
