The idea of achieving energy security and lowering the dependence on the global hydrocarbon market is at the top of the agenda in many countries. Most of them consider switching from traditional energy sources to renewable ones as one of the ways to reduce fuel import. This concept absolutely conforms to one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (Goal no. 7, “Affordable and Clean Energy”). In May 2019, the Government of Uzbekistan Republic adopted the law on the Use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). By 2030, Uzbekistan is going to increase the share of RES in the total structure of electricity generation up to 25 % (currently it is at 10 %), by building solar and wind farms with a total installed capacity of 5,000 MW and 3,000 MW, respectively. The energy-deficient Bostanliq district of the Tashkent region has become one of the places of interest, where transport infrastructure, recreation services, and renewable energy will be developed. The purpose of this study was a multivariate analysis, considering the meteorological, ecological, and socio-economic characteristics of the Bostanliq district, leading to the selection of the optimal location for the wind farm. The assessment map based on the results of this analysis made it possible to identify areas that are most suitable for the location of wind power plants. The assessment method, that was used in this work, is also applicable to other regions of the world.

In Slovenia, there is an urgent problem of limiting the harmful effects of economic activities that deteriorate the living conditions of people, animals and fl ora. The state is taking measures to encourage residents to stay in their home towns and take care of their arrangement and development, the preservation of natural resources and a comfortable environment for people. Numerous public organizations of civil society play an important role in this. This article outlines the features of the modern environmental policy of Slovenia, carried out within the framework of the general line of the European Union, aimed at the phasing out of carbon fuels and the transition to renewable energy sources. The article analyzes Slovenian official documents, setting out the country's environmental strategy, progress in the implementation of plans for energy and climate measures until 2030, the current state of the energy sector and its compliance with the planned tasks. The author's assessment of the efficiency of the environmental policy carried out in Slovenia and its possible results is presented. It is stated that although the indicators of improving the environmental situation are gradually increasing, the emission of harmful gases is decreasing, and the efficiency of the use of energy and raw materials is improving, Slovenia still lags behind the European average in most of these indicators. Meanwhile, it has a relatively high share of renewable energy sources in its total production. This is achieved through budget subsidies for the energy produced from renewable energy sources so that its price does not exceed the market level. Significant monetary resources are spent to apply a wide range of incentive measures. Therefore, the government is forced to seek opportunities to further increase the funding for environmental activities, in particular through European Union funds, including assistance to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

The development of effective mechanisms to support the introduction of new technologies is one of the important tasks of a modern management system. The paper summarizes the results of the introduction of new technologies that provided a breakthrough in the development of renewable energy sources (RES) and resulted in the displacement of traditional hydrocarbon fuel sources out of the market. The following breakthrough technologies which have been based on the data generalization and system analysis are considered as: digitalization, new power grids, the battery market, electricity storage, electrification of the final sectors of energy consumption. There have been given a description of technologies that showed their influence on the development of renewable energy sources. The paper provides a list of innovative renewable energy technologies that will play a decisive role in the market in the near future: new technologies together with renewable energy sources (marine solar and wind energy, a molten salt reactor, a wave energy device). The final part analyzes the prospects for the development of innovative technologies in Russia from the point of view of the government support as well as existing initiatives and implementation problems. Based on the analysis performed and the successful experience of China and Germany, there have been proposed recommendations for supporting new energy technologies in Russia. Ramarkable that despite the presence of significant research potential in the 60–80s of the XX century, the modern development of new technologies in the field of renewable energy is still at the initial stage of development. The paper substantiated the expediency of supporting the introduction of promising technologies and a set of measures to facilitate the transfer and introduction of new technologies. Due to one of the key problems of modern economic development in Russia is low effective demand, there is proposed to subsidize part of the cost of purchasing new equipment from the state in order to support the introduction of promising technologies.

According to the literature of energy-growth-environment, a numeral of studies aims to recognize the factors of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions resulting from significant increases in CO2 emissions in recent decades. The selection of data is the main criticism connected to the present literature. Most of the studies used the overall consumption of energy, and other criticism concerns selecting panel assessment techniques. Nearly all the previous research used general panel approaches that overlooked long term dependence. This empirical study fills the gap revealed in the past studies of the effect of trade openness, income, non-renewable and renewable energy on carbon emissions in the presence of EKC (Kuznets environmental curve) for the ASEAN economies from the time spam 2000 to 2018 using panel ARDL, Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimation techniques. The results of the PMG estimator confirm the presence of the EKC hypothesis in selected ASEAN countries. Furthermore, Trade and renewable energy minimize carbon dioxide emissions, whereas non-renewable upsurges CO2 emissions. The outcomes also revealed cointegration amongst carbon emissions and renewable energy and one-way causation found from income to CO2 productions, non-renewable energy to carbon emissions, and trade openness toward carbon dioxide emissions. Moreover, it concluded that ASEAN states that the government should advise the industries and all sectors to modify their energy sources from non-renewable energy sources to renewable energy sources. Because it helps to increase the level of energy and economic growth in reducing the carbon emission level.

Abstract The present study aims to examine the long-run and short-run effects of economic development, energy consumption pattern, trade openness and urbanization on environmental quality in ten Asian most populous economies. The analysis examines panel data from 1988 to 2018 by employing an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. The results indicate that the struggles to raise development are increasing the CO 2 emissions in these emerging populous countries. Moreover, the utilization of non-renewable energy sources (gas, coal, oil) is associated with high carbon emissions affecting environmental quality adversely and worsening the atmosphere at the zonal level too. Furthermore, the empirical findings highlight that urbanization and trade openness partake to the reduction of CO 2 emission and hence are considered environmental friendly. Finally, the government should formulate the strategies which help to reduce the use of non-renewable energy sources and promote the consumption of efficient gas energy source to raise development and better environmental quality in populous countries of Asia and hence the strategies will be helpful for the comfort and happiness of this part of the emerging region.

According to the Eurostat database, the percentage of renewable energy sources in the energy mix of the EU is increasing year after year (www.europa.eu/eurostat). In 2018, the values reached 73% in neighboring Austria (48% in Croatia, 42% in Romania, 32% in Slovenia and 21% in Slovakia), Hungary now stands at 8%. Wind energy is the leader in the renewable energy structure of the EU countries (35, 8% in 2018), since the construction of wind farms is prohibited in our country, one of the main objectives of research is to examine our energy structure. Our last position in renewable energy in 2020 prompted the government to develop a new climate strategy (mekh.hu/nemzetienergiastrategia2030). According to the new strategy, Hungary is estimated to be climate and carbon neutral by the end of the decade. Among the alternative sources of energy, solar energy is becoming the favorite, and our article points out why other forms of energy are being overshadowed. Analyzing the changes in the country’s future energy mix, it can be said that it will be based essentially on nuclear power and electricity from Russia’s electricity grid. However, due to the drastic drop in the cost of solar panels in the energy mix of households, solar energy has become a favorite of renewable energy sources. In the climate strategy, the government plans to create 8,000 MW of solar energy by 2050, which will be mainly used in households, municipal buildings, and tourism.

AbstractClimate change remains a pivotal area and a persistent challenging issue for deliberation among the nations of the world. Most especially in a country like Nigeria, where fossil fuel remains a pivotal source of socio-economic development and well-being of the society. Transforming the Nigeria electricity sector into a source for reducing the country’s carbon emission remains a significant challenge to policymakers, i.e. the Government. This is attributed to the fact that the nation’s primary energy sources come from traditional biomass and fossil fuel such as coal, and natural oil and gas, which has contributed significantly to the level of carbon emissions. In this paper, we explored and identified the potentials, barriers and option for renewable energy in Nigeria. The findings of the review revealed that the Nigerian electricity sector is crucial to reducing the carbon emission generated in the country. Likewise, it is of no doubt that Nigeria is endowed with a different mix of renewable energy sources. Hence, exploring and developing these renewable energy sources will aid the effort of the government in reducing the country’s input to the global carbon emission, instrumental to the socio-economic development of the country and improved well-being of the society at large. Also, policy recommendations to foster renewable energy development were identified.
