Renewable Energy Directive (RED II)

The Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) is a European Union initiative aimed at increasing the use of renewable energy sources, like solar, wind, and biomass, to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Adopted in 2018, it sets binding targets for EU countries to reach 32% of their energy from renewable sources by 2030. It also encourages sustainable practices in biofuels and mandates that industries adopt cleaner technologies. Essentially, RED II is designed to promote cleaner energy solutions, enhance energy security, and drive innovation towards a more sustainable future.
