Europe can become climate-neutral without fuel or electricity imports

Using a high-resolution energy system model which depicts the demand for all energy services across all sectors in 34 European countries, including industrial feedstocks derived from fossil sources, we find that many options exist to meet all of this demand based primarily on renewable energy, with a complete phase-out of oil and gas imports.

We did this with the Euro-Calliope model and you can see interactive results here.
