Renewable energy
Energy from non-fossil sources that are naturally replenished: solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, ambient energy, ocean energy, biomass and biogas. The EU framework is Directive (EU) 2018/2001 as amended by Directive (EU) 2023/2413 (RED III), which targets at least 42.5% renewables in EU gross final energy consumption by 2030.
