Primary energy, the only effective compass towards carbon neutrality in the EU
Description
The negaWatt association (FR) warns about the current revision of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) under the 'Fit for 55' package: the choice pushed by the Council to keep only a binding target in Final energy would be a major setback for the efforts of the EU and its Member States in terms of energy transition. Binding energy efficiency targets must be expressed in Primary energy, in order to maximise energy savings, which is an essential means to achieve carbon neutrality and preserve natural resources
Abstract (French)
L'Association negaWatt alerte sur la revision en cours de la directive europeenne sur l'efficacite energetique (EED), dans le cadre du paquet 'Fit for 55': le choix pousse par la France notamment de ne garder qu'un objectif contraignant en energie FINALE constituerait un recul majeur pour les efforts de l'UE et de ses etats membres en matiere de transition energetique. Les objectifs contraignants en matiere d'efficacite energetique doivent etre exprimes en energie PRIMAIRE, afin de maximiser les economies d'energie, moyen incontournable pour atteindre la neutralite carbone et preserver les ressources naturelles
