3 2) Renewable Energies : 2001 : RES Directive to promote green electricity –Indicative target of 21% in the share of EU gross electricty consumption to be reached in 2010 (today : 15%) 2003 : Biofuels Directive (in the share of fuels sold) : –Target of 2% in 2005 – 5,75% in : Cogeneration Directive (promotion of heat and electricity)
