Utilization of renewable energy resources in European Union's Legal System

Today، renewable energies are considering as clean sources of energy and optimal use of these resources minimize environmental impacts in the world. On the other hand، utilization of renewable energies for environmental protection has been increasing rapidly in recent years especially in developed countries and employing this kind of energies for environmental protection has been successful. Despite the importance of renewable energies، unfortunately، this type of energy are not widely used in all countries. It is clear that renewable energy resources exist over wide geographical areas، in contrast to other energy sources، which are concentrated in a limited number of countries. Based on the European Union model، in order to achieve sustainable development and environmental protection، the use of fossil energy sources to renewable energy sources such as wind energy، solar energy، global warming، alternative energy، biomass، etc.، are very essential. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current EU legal system to promote of the utilization of renewable resources that can be considered as one of the models studied in this context.
