Climate change is sending shivers down the spines of governments around the world. Things are no different at the Victoria Palace either. Romania has set ambitious goals in the fight against climate change, aiming to achieve climate neutrality before 2045, five years earlier than the previous deadline of 2050. At the same time, the country has set itself the goal that by 2030 it will achieve 38% of gross final consumption of energy from renewable sources, according to the new version of the Integrated National Plan in the field of Energy and Climate Change (PNIESC), recently updated. The Ministry of Energy announced these changes in a statement, noting that the revised plan includes 89 additional policies and measures designed to increase the use of renewable energy sources (RES), significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and promote innovative solutions in all economic sectors. The "With Additional Measures" (WAM) scenario in this plan proposes more ambitious goals than those previously established.
The main objectives of the PNIESC include reducing net GHG emissions by 85% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and achieving climate neutrality before 2045. Wind, solar and biomass energy will be the main renewable sources supporting the achievement of this target of 38 % by 2030.
The Minister of Energy, Sebastian Burduja, emphasized that this plan reflects Romania's commitment to contribute to a safer and greener future, integrating innovative technologies and massive investments in renewable energy.
The plan includes measures to reduce emissions in key sectors such as energy, transport, housing and industry, with an emphasis on advanced technological solutions such as the use of renewable hydrogen and increased energy efficiency. Romania continues to collaborate with national and international partners to ensure the energy transition and environmental protection. According to the minister: "Romania is taking an important step in the fight against climate change by updating the National Integrated Plan in the field of Energy and Climate Change. We have raised the standards and assumed ambitious goals, through a vision of sustainable development that integrates innovative technologies and investments massive investments in renewable energy. This plan reflects our commitment to become climate neutral before 2045 and to contribute to a safer, more competitive and greener future for Romania and Europe."
The document is to be submitted to the European Commission, thus Romania joins the member states that have presented updated plans in the field of climate change.
