A Report on the EU Renewables Industry

What are the regulatory frameworks of the EU? How are member states going to meet the EU directive? What energies are increasingly attractive? What does this mean for a Europe in recession?

Catalysing the low carbon economy. The time is now.

Technology and agriculture is at the forefront of the European response to climate change and energy security. Since the IPCC findings that global warming is ‘very likely due’ to carbon emissions and determination to act shown by the UN, environmental concern has become a new business opportunity. 

But the Eurocrats are not just bleeding hearts; energy security has become a real issue over the past decade and as members of the EU fall one by one into recession, reflection on ROI is bound to attract a greater number investors to a long-term investment in energy. 

How we incentivise and manage our energy supply is currently being organised and legislated multi-laterally, by the EU and its member governments.

Thanks to this directive, the most stable market for renewable energy is Europe. The most exciting market for financial growth is clean tech. This is why we are holding the European Future Energy Forum.
