Some countries are prepared to allow themselves to become dependent on natural gas from Russia, while others would rather pin their hopes on nuclear power, water power, wind and wave power, biomass or geothermal energy. There are various ways by which all of them can reduce their energy consumption.

Wind –harnessing the naturally occurring energy of the wind to generate electricity, both onshore and offshore Photovoltaics – using semi-conductor materials to capture the energy in sunlight and convert it directly into electricity Biomass – converting organic matter such as wood, plants and agricultural waste to provide heat, produce fuel and generate electricity Concentrated solar power – concentrating the energy of the sun to generate electricity or provide heat Ocean energy systems – exploiting energy from the ocean such as tidal current and waves to generate electricity Geothermal – using steam and hot water generated by heat from ...[+++]the earth’s crust to produce electricity and provide heating.

Geothermal energy, wave and tidal and solar thermal concentrating power are other renewable energies which are not included in this report, as they are only supported in some Member States or not yet applied at industrial level.

18. Considers that renewable energies should be clearly defined as those energies which renew themselves indefinitely, and therefore should not include municipal incineration or peat, but may include biogas and geothermal, as per the White paper on Renewables; a separate article is required in any Directive which should exclude large hydro in general, since it is normally already economically viable, possibly with some very limited exceptions for newer installations or the restoration of older ones;
