Recital 6

(6) The effective transition towards green energy and the rapid reduction in dependency on fossil fuel energy in an inclusive way call for measures to boost energy efficiency and savings in buildings and related critical energy infrastructure and decarbonise industries faster. It is imperative to increase rapidly investment in energy efficiency measures, such as the uptake of sustainable and efficient heating and cooling solutions, which present an effective means to address some of the most pressing challenges of energy supply and energy cost. Therefore, support should also be given to reforms and investments increasing energy efficiency, decarbonising industry – including by the use of low-carbon fuels, such as low-carbon hydrogen, and by the uptake of renewable hydrogen and other renewable fuels of non-biological origin – and increasing energy savings of the Member States’ economies, in line with the Union’s energy and climate targets and legal framework. The Commission should, in particular, encourage Member States to include in their REPowerEU chapters measures supporting the decarbonisation of industry.
