Seven European countries commit to a CO2-free power system by 2035, aiming for a nearly CO2-free power sector by 2040. The countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, and France, represent a significant portion of the EU's power production. Modeling by Ember suggests a potential for Europe to achieve a nearly decarbonized power sector by 2035, with wind and solar power contributing up to 80% of electricity.
