EP Plenary session - REPowerEU chapters in recovery and resilience plans

The new geopolitical and energy market realities require us to drastically accelerate our clean energy transition and increase Europe's energy independence from unreliable suppliers and volatile fossil fuels. REPowerEU is the European Commission’s plan to make Europe independent from Russian fossil fuels well before 2030, in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 85% of Europeans believe that the EU should reduce its dependency on Russian gas and oil as soon as possible to support Ukraine. By acting as a Union, Europe can achieve this faster.The REPowerEU plan sets out a series of measures to rapidly reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels and fast forward the green transition, while increasing the resilience of the EU-wide energy system through energy savings, diversification of energy supplies, and accelerated roll-out of renewable energy

Infoclip: Renewable Energy Directive

Vanheede industrial fermentation plant converts organic products into biomethane, which is then converted into electricity via a gas engine. The plant at Quévy is fitted with an installed capacity of 2.45 MW, enabling Vanheede Biomass Solutions to supply electricity to some 5,000 families. The heat generated is recovered in-house. The digestate is upgraded as a soil supplement for agricultural use.
