Overview: There is a strong case for acting to mitigate the threat of climate change associated with the unrestrained increases in emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), particularly CO2. The Kyoto Protocol (if ratified at the Sixth Conference of the Parties in The Hague in November 2000) commits EU Member States to reducing overall annual GHG emissions by 342 MtC (CO2 equivalent) averaged over the period 2008 to 2012. This target includes emissions from electricity generation, transport, heating and industrial processes. The energy industries are responsible for 28% of net greenhouse gas emissions and the EC Renewables Directive specifically addresses electricity generation.
