The welcoming words of the 3-day policy conference were given by the European Commissioner for Energy Ms Kadri Simson (Picture 2). In her speech, she emphasised that the current economic crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, is inducing the largest recession since 1929 and causing shockwaves in the energy market. At the same time, this is a great opportunity to accelerate the clean energy efforts to drive the greening of economic recovery while creating new green jobs and protecting the environment.

Related Action Plan will be launched in September 2020. In the medium to long-term, the EU is exploring the energy systems of the future, such as offshore energy production or hydrogen as a fuel with a high potential to decarbonise the economy. For that, the EC published an <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/energy\/topics\/energy-system-integration\/eu-strategy-energy-system-integration_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EU Strategy for Energy System Integration<\/a> on 8 July 2020, to achieve a more circular, decentralised and digitalised system. Later in 2020, the <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/energy\/topics\/energy-system-integration\/hydrogen_en#eu-hydrogen-strategy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EU Hydrogen Strategy<\/a> will be published. Together, these strategies will help Europe to achieve its goal, set out in the <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/strategy\/priorities-2019-2024\/european-green-deal_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European Green Deal<\/a>, of being climate-neutral by 2050. Renewable electricity requires matching infrastructure. That is why the EC will review the <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/energy\/consultations\/evaluation-ten-e-regulation_en#:~:text=The%20Trans%2DEuropean%20Networks%20%2D%20Energy,gas%20infrastructure%20across%20national%20borders.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trans-European Energy Networks (TEN-E) Regulation<\/a> later in 2020. The revision will ensure the interconnection of cross-border energy infrastructure, supporting energy efficiency and savings, and novel renewable energy systems development in Europe.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/09\/image-9.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/09\/image-9.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/09\/image-9-300x150.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/09\/image-9-768x383.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Picture 2.

It is a prerequisite for reducing the total energy need of the industry, their production costs and emissions, and securing the energy supply. That is in line with an ongoing Interreg Europe funded project, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interregeurope.eu\/resindustry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RESINDUSTRY \u2013 Policies for Renewable Energy Sources in Industry<\/a>, which aims to increase the competitiveness and energy independence of the industry by increasing the integration of renewables. In Finland, RESINDUSTRY is coordinated by LAB University of Applied Sciences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Bu\u0219oi (2020), the potential for large renewable energy projects in the EU Member State is largely unexploited. Mr Bertrand Piccard (2020), Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation, pointed out that efficient and circular solutions exist, however, they are not exploited. He proposed not to look at the problems and afterwards looking for a solution. We are often blind and cannot identify problems, simply because we are used to a current way of living and working. Piccard encourages to rather reverse the way of thinking. He used the \u201cpiranha theory\u201d- a small fish alone cannot cause a lot of harm, however, thousands of piranhas together can eat entire body in seconds. Similarly, we should replace the polluting technologies by implementing the already available, efficient and financially profitable solutions. This will not only spin the efficiency in all sectors of our lives, but it will prompt efficient consumption at the same time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#b3edfb\" class=\"has-background\">Author&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Katerina Medkova<\/strong> who works as an RDI specialist at LAB University of Applied Sciences and Project &amp; Communication Manager in the RESINDUSTRY project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bu\u0219oi, C.S. 2020. #EUSEW2020 Opening session.
