These innovative European renewable energy projects show diverse paths to greener power
Between 2007 and 2017, the volume of renewable energy produced in the European Union’s 28 member states rose by 64%.
That energy comes from diverse sources, from the burning of wood and biomass to wind, geothermal and solar.
In countries across the continent, renewable energy is providing an increasing share of the power mix – the top five nations for renewables as a share of consumed energy are Sweden (54.5%), Finland (41.0 %), Latvia (39.0 %), Denmark (35.8 %) and Austria (32.6 %).
Here are some of the projects helping the EU pave the way to a sustainable energy future.
