Energy Integration within Sectors to improve the Efficiency of Renewable Energy System within the EU

To achieve the goal of a carbon-neutral EU by 2050 and accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy system, synergies need to be achieved between renewable energy production, energy efficiency improvement, technology development and widespread electrification. This work presents a synthesis of...
