Chapter 3 • Solar Power in Europe: Status and Outlook 49
The analysis of the various scenarios shows that only a RES target of “at least 35%” as
asked for by SolarPower Europe would maintain the impetus for the renewable industry
and be in line with the 2050 decarbonization objectives of the EU.
The projected RES penetration (aforementioned) and green house gas (GHG) emission
reductions (later) in the EU-28 under different scenarios are given in Fig. 3.11.
