Electrification of road traffic, green hydrogen for industry, and heat pumps instead of gas heating: As the Green Deal measures are implemented, power demand in Europe will surge. At the same time, the EU wants to phase out fossil fuels, because 75 percent of EU-wide emissions stem from the generation and consumption of power. A faster transition to a greener energy system is therefore essential to achieving climate targets, which is why the European Commission has also proposed a revision of the Renewable Energy Directive as part of its Fit for 55 package.
