Decreasing CO2 emissions from energy generation and consumption to achieve the Green Deal targets

After Covid-19 Pandemic, with an instable European geo-political context and a constant pressure to decrease the CO2 emissions, EU needs to implement explicite actions to limit its environmental impact. EU decarbonation is an ambitious proposal to make the bloc climate-neutral by 2050. This study aims to determine how can be improved the energy generation from RES considering important macroeconomic indicators. In the same time, the research shows the strong correlation between investments in research and development and decreasing of carbon emissions. One of the major conclusions of the research is that the best solution in increasing the production of energy that comes from RES, is the investment in R&D, especially in businesses and higher education sectors.
