THE CURRENT SITUATION

Improving renewable energies is one of the milestones of international administrations, foundations and organizations related with climate change. Proof of it is the European Union’s target for 2030 is a increase the share of renewable energy in final energy consumption to 42.5%. Dependency on fossil fuel based energies must be reduced in order to achieve more sustainable energy supplies and to be able to cover the increasing energy demand.
In 2024 total renewables 19% and of that 14% of global energy consumption came from hydropower
Renewable energies provide several advantages to face the global energetic problem:

• Providing energy security and diversification of the energy mix, in terms of the technology and in terms of geographical sources.

• Decreasing fossil fuels consumption and insulating the economy from fossil fuel price rises.

• Decreasing greenhouse gases emissions helping to mitigate climate change.

• Reducing dependence of developed and developing countries on fossil fuels.
