<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>A recent paper
in the journal <i>Energy Policy</i> argues that the two major options for
calculating renewable energy towards the EU target (based on the primary energy
or final energy method) are both flawed and could “result in<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>policies that
are inefficient in terms of saving conventional fuels and avoiding CO2 emissions”.
A simple substitution method could help resolve solve these problems, “at
the expense of very limited concessions regarding data accuracy and simplicity”.
