"BERLIN, 28 MARCH 2023 – Today, more than forty civil society organisations
from across Europe are embarking on a mission to ensure governments,
businesses, and financial institutions eliminate fossil fuels from the
continent’s power sector by 2035, replacing them with renewable energy sources
and energy savings. The
Beyond Fossil Fuels (BFF) campaign expands the hugely
successful
Europe Beyond Coal coalition, which has seen 23 European countries
committing to coal exits, 17 of which will happen by 2030 at the latest.
The coalition is kick-starting the BFF campaign with research which shows that
Europe can replace the amount of coal and fossil gas it historically imported
from Russia in just four years, by making determined but achievable increases
in the deployment of renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency measures
and smart consumption.
Freedom From Fossil Fuels finds that 70 percent of
these fuels can be displaced through the rollout of solar, wind and heat pumps
alone. This would entail, as a daily average, the solarisation of 20,000 homes
and 30 parking lots; building seven solar farms and 14 wind turbines; and
installing 19,500 heat pumps across the continent, enabling European countries
to permanently replace all Russian coal and fossil gas, without resorting to
imports from other countries or increasing domestic production."
