Net-zero 2050 scenarios for Belgium show that RES capacity needs to be multiplied by 2,3 to 3,8 by 2030
compared to 2022 and that a lower level of RES must be compensated by a higher effort in energy efficiency
Multiplying RES capacity
by 3 is technically feasible
There is a high potential of
energy demand reduction
