EU details energy savings and renewables push to reach tougher climate targetThe European Union needs to hike its renewable energy and energy saving targets, according to its analysis published on Thursday of how the bloc could make deeper emissions cuts this decade. The European Commission wants the EU to slash its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, against 1990 levels, which experts say is the minimum needed to reach net zero emissions by 2050. The EU's current 2030 emissions target is for a 40% cut, though the bloc is on track for a deeper 45% cut.
