Energy Storage Targets 2030 and 2050Ensuring Europe’s Energy Security in a Renewable Energy SystemAs Europe accelerates its ambitions to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, the energy system is set to look very differentfrom the one we see today. Driven by ambitious climate targets, the electricity sector especially is taking great stridesin reducing greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuel generators with renewables. However, the inherentvariability of wind and solar generation brings with it new challenges. The electricity system needs to become muchmore flexible than it is today to accommodate the rising share of renewables and new flows of electricity that comewith it. Variable production of wind and solar means renewable deployment alone will not eliminate fossil fueldependence, as backup gas generators are used to cover renewables energy shortfalls at times of low production. Ifthe EU is to meet its climate targets in time and integrate even higher shares of renewables a
