OBJECTIVE
1. Objective greenhouse gas emissions
2. Objective renewable energy
Within the framework of the Kyotoprotocol, Belgium has committed itself
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with 7,5% by 2012, compared to the
emission level in 1990.
More than half of all the greenhouse gas emissions in Belgium are caused
by energy use and energy transformation, as is shown in the diagram (only
available in French or Dutch) below:

Energy saving, energy efficiency and renewable energy can therefore contribute substantially to the achievement of the 7,5% greenhouse gas emissions reduction objective.
Within the framework of the Energy-Climate package, Belgium has, since 2008, committed itself to a target of 13% renewable energy within the final energy consumption by 2020.
