Hungary National Inventory Report (NIR). 2025

The National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) is a ten-year integrated document <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/energy/topics/energy-strategy/national-energy-climate-plans_en" target="_self">mandated by the European Union</a> to each of its member states in order for the EU to meet its overall greenhouse gases emissions targets. Following feedback from an EU-wide assessment of draft NECP submissions, EU members are required to submit updated final NECPs for the period 2021-2030. The Energy and Climate Plan addresses all five dimensions of the EU Energy Union: decarbonisation, energy efficiency, energy security, internal energy markets and research, innovation and competitiveness.
The main objectives of the plan are: 1) to strengthen energy sovereignty and energy security, 2) to maintain the results of reduced overhead costs, 3) to decarbonise energy production with a combination of nuclear energy and renewable energy. The plan states that it is in the interest of Hungary to reduce its demand for energy imports and to ensure its connection to the regional electricity grids and natural gas networks. The reduction of the use of fossil fuels may be achieved through the use of heating/cooling solutions based on renewable resources and the reduction of energy consumption in public institutions, industry and transport. For energy efficiency, the plan establishes green solutions in electromobility, and household-scale energy production for private purposes via the spread of smart meters. Quantified targets for 2030 include a 50% reduction in gross GHG emissions, relative to 1990 levels, and a 30% renewable share of gross final energy consumption.
