EUROPE'S NUCLEAR ELECTRICITY 26%
"26% of the electricity produced in the EU comes from nuclear energy and it remains the largest source of low-carbon electricity. However, 50% of the EU’s electricity mix is still based on historic CO2-emitting fossil fuel technologies and these must be replaced by new low-carbon sources as the EU transitions to a carbon neutral economy by 2050.
