MEPs vote on three binding targets for climate and energy targets to 2030
2014-01-01
Parliament’s joint Environment (ENVI) and Energy (ITRE) Committee has recognised the importance of heating and cooling in today’s vote on a 2030 framework for climate and energy policies. Heating and cooling represent over 45% of the final energy consumption in the European Union compared to 20% for electricity, 26% transport and 9% for ‘non-energy’ use (IEA, 2011) yet they remain largely neglected by EU policies.
