The European Union's executive says the region will achieve its target to generate 20 percent of its energy from renewable sources, such as wind power, by 2020.
A European Commission report published Thursday says Europe's use of green energy will grow from 9 percent in 2007 to 20.3 percent in 2020.
It says most of the EU's 27 nations will make or exceed individual targets to increase their renewable energy output _ but that Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Luxembourg and Malta won't hit their goals.
Most current renewable energy comes from burning biomass such as wood chips and crop waste.
