Regional challenges in the perspective of 2020. Regional disparities and future challenges - Energy

The energy challenge involves multiple dimensions, including sustainability, security, and competitiveness of supply. The EU's energy policy aims to address these issues through measures like diversifying energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and investing in renewable energy and technology. The EU's energy demand is expected to grow, with fossil fuels remaining dominant, but with an increasing share for renewables and nuclear energy. The EU is highly dependent on energy imports, particularly from Russia, and seeks to reduce this through diversification and improved energy networks. Energy prices, greenhouse gas emissions, and the EU Emissions Trading System also play significant roles in shaping the energy landscape and regional disparities.

The EU's energy policy encompasses a broad range of challenges, including the sustainability of energy use, security of supply, and competitiveness. The policy targets a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, a 20% share of renewables in energy consumption, and a 20% improvement in energy efficiency by 2020. The EU faces increasing energy demand, declining indigenous fossil fuel production, and growing import dependency. Renewable energy is promoted as a means to reduce dependency and stimulate economic growth, particularly in peripheral regions. The EU's energy infrastructure, including pipelines and LNG facilities, is crucial for diversification and security. Energy demand trends, GHG emissions, and the role of Europe's neighbors in the energy challenge are also key considerations. The EU ETS aims to reduce emissions, but its impact on end-use energy prices and regional disparities is complex and depends on future policy design and market conditions.
