The European Union has set ambitious goals to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and increase the use of renewable energy. However, some experts question whether renewables can be a reliable source of electricity, especially in countries with high demand.
A new study by Oxford University researchers has shown that renewable energy can indeed be a reliable source of electricity in Europe. A study published in the journal Energy Policy found that renewable energy sources can provide a constant and affordable supply of electricity even in countries with high demand.
Key results of the study
The study found that renewable energy sources can provide a reliable supply of electricity through a variety of technologies, including wind, solar and hydropower. The study also found that renewable energy could be affordable, especially if the cost of fossil fuels continues to rise.
The researchers behind the study say their findings should give policymakers confidence in the potential of renewable energy to meet Europe's energy needs.
Which countries are leaders in renewable energy?
A number of European countries are already leaders in renewable energy. For example, Denmark, Sweden and Ireland get more than 40% of their electricity from renewable sources.
These countries have been able to achieve high levels of renewable energy penetration by investing heavily in renewable energy technologies and implementing supportive policies.
What do experts say about the future of renewable energy in Europe?
Experts say that the future of renewable energy in Europe is bright. They point to falling costs of renewable energy technologies and growing public support for renewable energy as reasons for optimism.
The European Union has also set ambitious targets for renewable energy. The EU has pledged to produce 40% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
