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.

The presentation aims to produce an outlook on the (i) bioenergy progress in the EU over 2005-2016; (ii) some considerations for sustainability and conversion efficiency; (iii) overall measures related to the biomass use for energy in the EU; (iv) the support framework for biomass in electricity, heating/cooling and transport in the EU.

The need to integrate higher shares of renewables in the EU energy sector brings into discussion the way the renewable technologies/sources have been supported to date. Support schemes are currently the major drivers for investment in the EU electricity sector, while investments in grid assets are driven mainly by regulation that guarantees investors a reasonable return on equity.

The slowdown of renewable energy deployment is a concern and needs to be avoided in the time the EU is aiming higher shares of renewables in 2030. Through a cost-optimal approach the EU ought to double in 2030 the current share of renewables in electricity sector.

On 22 June 2016, the CoM Europe and Compact of Mayors announced the formation of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy (GCoM) - as a worldwide coalition of cities committed to fighting climate change. Over time, the Global Covenant of Mayors will work towards ensuring compatible and comparable reporting approaches for signatory cities worldwide.

Greenhouse gas emission savings due to renewable energy (2009-12)
Policy context
The EU has made a unilateral commitment to reduce in 2020 the overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its Member States by 20% compared to 1990 levels putting a legally binding target of 20 % of gross final energy consumption (GFEC) from renewable energy sources.
