88. Welcomes the EIB's focus on climate change, particularly on renewable energy; calls on the EIB to make universal energy access a focus of its engagement in the energy sector, by supporting decentralised small-scale and off-grid projects, particularly in rural areas; calls on the EIB to phase out projects which are likely to have a significant impact on the environment, such as large dams, CCS and fossil fuel technologies, to avoid locking developing countries into these energies;

The real overall cost of intermittent renewable energy must be better assessed and revealed, urges the EESC

Moreover, Decision No ./2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on effort sharing, for which energy efficiency in the building sector will be crucial, sets national binding targets for CO2 reduction, and Directive 2009/./EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources calls for the promotion of energy efficiency in the context of a binding target for energy from renewable sources accounting for 20% of total EU energy consumption by 2020.

6. Stresses that the global market for renewable energy is growing dramatically, so that in 2006 its turnover was USD 38 billion, which was 26% more than the previous year; stresses that, as one of the most advanced, knowledge-driven economies in the world, Europe should easily establish a comparative advantage in the export of renewable energy technologies and services; welcomes the decision on an EU-wide target for renewable energy; calls, however, for ambitious EU-wide mandatory sectoral targets for electricity, heating and cooling and biofuels;

They go hand in hand with the objective of protecting the environment, and in particular help reduce CO2 and other emissions; 2. Being indigenous sources they contribute to reducing dependency of energy imports; 3. They are advanced technologies, which can play a role in revitalising sectors of European industry and contribute to competitiveness; 4. They generate employment, in particular in SMEs; 5. They are an important aspect of regional development and are well suited to decentralised energy systems; 6. Their development is favoured by the general public, in particular for environmental reasons; 7. They con ...[+++]tribute to solving energy and environmental problems in developing countries, and at the same time provide export opportunities for European industry, which in many cases are world leaders as regards renewable energy technologies.

- ALTENER PROGRAMME The indicative objective of this programme, which is set to run for five years from 1 January 1993, is to achieve a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of 180 million tonnes in 2005 through the development of renewable energy sources according to the following plan: - increasing the contribution of renewable energy resources to the coverage of total energy demand from nearly 4% in 1991 to 8% in 2005 (to achieve this objective, the production of renewable energy sources should rise from nearly 43 Mtoe in 1991 to approximately 109 Mtoe in 2005); - trebling the production of electricity from renewable energy sources, ...[+++]excluding large hydro-electric power stations (to achieve this objective, the capacity and electricity production of all power stations - excluding large hydro-electric power stations - using renewable energy sources should rise from 8GW to 25TWh in 1991 to 27GW and 80TWh (in 2005); - securing for biofuels a market share of 5% of total fuel consumption by motor vehicles (the production in 2005 of 11 Mtoe of biofuels is considered necessary in order to achieve this objective).
