On 5 April 2016 the JRC presented the interactive and collaborative online European Energy Efficiency Platform. This beta platform is conceived to fill the gap opened by scattered data and fragmented knowledge resulting from a rapidly growing energy efficiency market. It is expected to be both a one-stop shop for information retrieval and a meeting point for experts to exchange data and reduce redundant activities.
Policies and Targets
Energy Generation and Distribution
The indicators present the expected shares of energy from renewable sources in gross final energy consumption in EU Member State and in EU as a whole towards 2020 targets defined in Directive 2009/28/EC.

Buildings
The European building stock consumes approximately 40% of primary energy and it is responsible for 36% of the EU greenhouse emissions[1]. A significant reduction of building energy demand is a requisite to meet Europe’s GHG emissions reduction targets[2].

Industry
Results from this recent JRC study show that, in 2050, the energy consumption and direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the European aluminium industry could be decreased by 21% and 66%, respectively, if the sector adopts innovative technological solutions instead of following a conservative technology deployment path.

With the GreenBuilding, GreenLight and Motor Challenge Programmes the European Commission operates voluntarily commitment schemes with the aim to increase energy efficiency in non-residential buildings, nonresidential lighting and motors used in industrial processes. By the end of 2011 the total of more than 1,000 Partners were registered.
