The article describes the current state of the world energy market from the point of view of the production and consumption of energy resources. It considers the dynamics of the contribution of the world regions to the overall energy balance. It was noted that the trends of the EU countries are generally different from the rest of the world in favor of reducing the energy load, increasing energy efficiency and increasing the share of renewable resources. The author carried out an analysis of the EU energy structure in which the predominant share is assigned to "green" sources. The fundamentals and key principles of energy cooperation and its impact on the economy of the EU countries are presented. Conclusions have been drawn about the most serious obstacles that hinder the spread of renewable energy: technical, administrative, economic. Prospects for the introduction of "green" initiatives in the EU countries are outlined.

Energy issues have always become the major problem of the world. Energy efficiency has become a national energy strategy. As the old industrial city, Zhuzhou has a huge demand to energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions in the process of industrialization. Firstly, energy efficiencys concept was introduced, then propose Zhuzhou energy efficiency influencing factors, finally, this paper measures Zhuzhou energy efficiency based on data envelopment analysis (DEA ) method, It hopes that the scientific evaluation could provide theoretical and practical support for the decision.

AbstractFe XIV 530.3 nm coronal emission line observations have been used for the estimation of the green solar corona rotation. A homogeneous data set, created from measurements of the world-wide coronagraphic network, has been examined with a help of correlation analysis to reveal the averaged synodic rotation period as a function of latitude and time over the epoch from 1947 to 1991.The values of the synodic rotation period obtained for this epoch for the whole range of latitudes and a latitude band ±30° are 27.52±0.12 days and 26.95±0.21 days, resp. A differential rotation of green solar corona, with local period maxima around ±60° and minimum of the rotation period at the equator, was confirmed. No clear cyclic variation of the rotation has been found for examinated epoch but some monotonic trends for some time intervals are presented.A detailed investigation of the original data and their correlation functions has shown that an existence of sufficiently reliable tracers is not evident for the whole set of examinated data. This should be taken into account in future more precise estimations of the green corona rotation period.

The limited fossil reserves, spiraling price and environmental impact due to usage of fossil fuels leads the world wide researchers’ interest in using alternative renewable and environment safe fuels that can meet the energy demand. Biodiesel is an emerging renewable alternative fuel to conventional diesel which can be produced from both edible and non-edible oils, animal fats, algae etc. The society is in dire need of using renewable fuels as an immediate control measure to mitigate the pollution level. In this work an attempt is made to review the requisite and access the capability of the biodiesel in improving the environmental degradation.
