23 Mar 2010
The European Sustainable Energy Week began yesterday (March 22nd) and will study ways to de-carbonise and create green jobs for the future.
Running as a five-day event, the focus will be on Brussels, where 90 events are to take place and 3,500 people are expected to participate.
Across Europe, 28 countries are set to have their own energy days this week.
Commissioner for energy, Gunter H Oettinger, said the long-term vision of energy policy has to involve green growth and cutting carbon emissions.
"Energy efficiency and renewable energy can be a powerful factor of economic transformation and contribute to a positive, smarter vision for the society of the future," he said.
As part of the UK government's commitment to cutting levels, the Act on CO2 site allows anyone to calculate their environmental impact, as well as offering advice on carbon offsetting schemes.
