In 2020, the EU has met its renewable energy target. Renewable generation across the EU has more than doubled since 2005, thanks to EU legislation and national policies and measures.
This webinar will look at the historic transformation of the power sector from an environmental perspective of key interactions, knock-on effects, and co-benefits and trade-offs following from life cycle analysis.
