=== Energy === {{Main|Energy in Hungary|Renewable energy in Hungary}} [[File:Mol Campus.jpg|thumb|right|Headquarters of the [[MOL (company)|MOL Group]] ]] Hungary's total energy supply is dominated by [[fossil fuel]]s, with [[natural gas]] occupying the largest share, followed by [[Petroleum|oil]] and [[coal]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=International Energy Agency|author-link=International Energy Agency|date=16 December 2021|title=Hungary β Countries & Regions|url=https://www.iea.org/countries/hungary|access-date=2022-05-24|publisher=IEA|location=Paris}}</ref> In June 2020, Hungary passed a law binding itself to a target of [[Carbon neutrality|net-zero emissions]] by 2050. As part of a broader restructuring of the nation's energy and climate policies, Hungary also extended its National Energy Strategy 2030 to look even further, adding an outlook until 2040 that prioritises carbon-neutral and cost-effective energy while focusing on reinforcing [[energy security]] and [[energy independence]].<ref name=":0" /> Key forces in the country's 2050 target include [[Renewable energy|renewables]], [[Nuclear power|nuclear]] electricity, and [[electrification]] of end-use sectors. Significant investments in the power sector are expected, including for the construction of two new nuclear energy generating units. Renewable energy capacity has increased significantly, but in recent years growth in the renewables sector has stagnated. What is more, certain policies that limit development of [[wind power]] are expected to negatively impact the renewables sector.<ref name=":0" /> Hungary's emission of greenhouse gases has dropped alongside the economy's decreasing use of carbon-based fuels. However, independent analysis has identified space for Hungary to set more ambitious emissions reduction targets.<ref name=":0" />
