====== Renewable and non-renewable energy sources ======
The energy that we use can have renewable or non-renewable origins. The Renewable indicator shows the percentage of consumed energy from renewable sources. While the detailed graph give a more exhaustive view on the sources of the consumed energy. The different labels are:
===== Renewable sources =====
  * Heat pumps -> It represents the ambient heat that is taken from the ambient (air, lakes, river or ground) by [[heating_cogeneration|heat pumps]] and used for space heating and sanitary hot water.
  * Solar PV -> Electricity produced by [[photovoltaic_more|photovoltaic panels]].
  * Wind -> Electricity produced by [[wind_energy_more|wind turbines]].
  * Hydro -> Electricity produced by [[hydro_river_more_2|run-of-river]] and [[hydro_dam_more_2|storage]] hydro power plants.
  * Geothermal -> Electricity and heat produced by [[deep_geothermal_more_2|geothermal power plants]] and [[c_geo_more|geothermal cogeneration systems]].
  * Biomass -> It includes solid biomass (wood), biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel) and biogas.
  * Solar thermal -> Heat produced by solar thermal panels.
===== Non-renewable sources =====
  * Nuclear -> Heat produced in the [[nuclear_more|nuclear reactors]], that is converted into electricity and waste heat from power generation.
  * Elec. Import -> Imported electricity from our neighbouring countries.
  * Natural gas -> Natural gas for heat and/or electricity generation and for the transport sector.
  * Heating oil -> Fuel oil for boilers and diesel for cogeneration engines.
  * Gasoline/diesel/kerosene -> Gasoline, diesel and kerosene for the transport sector.
  * Other fossil -> Coal and 50% of the incinerated waste.
