Scope & content	Preface Renewable Energy in Europe presents an overview of the latest political, technological, financial and economic information on renewable energy technologies in the fields of heating and cooling, electricity and biofuels for transport. The book provides insights and gives ideas about how to best reach the binding 2020 target of at least 20 per cent renewable energy from final energy consumption, as outlined in the Directive on the promotion of the use of energy from Renewable Energy Sources (RES) that came into force in 2009. If properly implemented, this Directive will become the most ambitious piece of legislation on renewable energy in the world.
