Imagine spreading Europe’s energy consumption across the calendar: in 2018, Europe relies on fossil and nuclear energy from January 1st to October 20th: 293 days in total. From October 20th, renewables provide for the remaining 72 calendar days with clean energy.

Bioenergy contributes to 43 days of this total, which means that from November 19th to December 31st, Europe could solely rely on bioenergy to fuel itself!
