A strong impetus to the energy transition is given by the measures taken by the EU to combat global warming and climate change, setting targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% compared to 1990 levels to reach "carbon neutrality" by 2050, thus making Europe the first continent in the world with zero climate impact.
