Abstract

EU energy policies focus on energy security, the integration of Member States' energy markets and the transition to a carbon-free energy system. This article aims to analyse the energy state of the European Union, considering the Green Deal objectives. Therefore, in the first part of the article, the general objectives of the Green Deal will be exposed while in the second part of the article we will analyse the energy mix of the European Union, the energy production, the energy imports dependence, the energy consumption, the electricity production and prices. In the last part of the article, we will examine the elements regarding the energy-climate relationship, namely greenhouse gases emissions, energy efficiency and renewable energy.
