EU Most relevant Policy Initiatives

Renewable Energy Directive (2008):Binding target that 20% of the EU's overall energy consumption coming from renewables by 2020, and a binding minimum target for each member state to achieve at least 10% of their transport fuel consumption from renewable sources including biofuels, hydrogen and green electricity.

The Strategic Energy Technology Plan (2007): Aligning technology development with energy policy goals, through notably, the strengthening of European research capacities (European Research Alliance) and the setting up of strategic public/private RD&D partnerships (European Industrial Initiatives, including one on Bioenergy)

Lead Market Initiative (2007):Foster the emergence of markets which are highly innovative, respond to customers’ needs, have a strong technological and industrial basis in Europe and depend more than other on favourable framework conditions
