European Commission Directorate General XVII (Energy)   The development of renewable energy - particularly energy from wind, water, solar power and biomass - is a central aim of the European Commission's energy policy. There are several reasons for this: renewable energy has an important role to play in reducing Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions - a major Community objective; increasing the share of renewable energy in the energy balance enhances sustainability and improves the security of energy supply; renewable energy sources are expected to be economically competitive with conventional energy sources in the medium to long term.
