Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II)

The Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II) is a set of European Union rules aimed at increasing the use of renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and biomass across Europe. It sets binding targets for the EU to achieve at least 32% of its energy from renewables by 2030, promoting cleaner energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. RED II encourages member countries to develop sustainable energy policies, increase investments, and ensure transparency and sustainability standards for renewable energy projects. Overall, it aims to support the EU’s transition to a more sustainable, low-carbon energy system.
