Luxembourg’s energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions have shown signs of decoupling from its robust economic and population growth, and the country is seeing strong deployment of renewable energy. The government has adopted an ambitious target to reduce greenhouse gas emission by 50-55% by 2030 compared with 2005 and has proposed legislation aiming for a carbon neutral economy by 2050.

Luxembourg’s low energy prices are a barrier to investments in energy efficiency and renewables. The country has a fossil fuel intensive energy mix driven by a high demand for transportation fuels, notably from transiting freight trucks and commuters. The government has adopted numerous measures to push for decarburization. A carbon tax was introduced in 2020. Renewable generation is encouraged through subsidies and auctions. Several programmes support energy efficiency in buildings and industry and there is target for 49% of all passenger cars to be electric by 2030.
