“Fit for 55” package : EU steps to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050

▪ European Commission adopted “Fit for55”, The package aims to make the EUable to deliver the transformationalchange needed in a fair, cost efficientand competitive way.

▪ The set of policy proposals in “Fit for 55”
aims at preparing the implementation ofthe European Green Deal.
▪ A minimum of 55 percent in cuts inGHG by 2030 ;▪ Above a 32% share of renewableenergy, increased later to 40% ;▪ At least a 32.5% improvement inenergy efficiency increased later to36–39%7© | 2021 IFPEN

REPowerEU : a combination of short- and long-term measures▪ Russia invasion of Ukraine and following threats
to EU energy supplies acted as a wake up callup for diversification of origin of energy imports
and substitution of fossil fuels (morerenewables) ;▪ EU will favour diversification strategies thatencompass both gas and green hydrogen
investments ;▪ Green energy transition as (the only) way tosimultaneously ensure sustainable, secure, andaffordable energy ;▪ Additional investments of €210 billion areneeded between now and 2027 to phase out
Russian fossil fuel imports ;8▪ EU aims at ensuring that energy transition isjust and inclusive (a fund to support the mostcitizens and businesses).
