Methodological and practical aspects of the trend of the change of the Azerbaijan’s energy sector functioning stability in 2012-2018, based on the methodology presented by the World Energy Congress (WEC), are analyzed and considered in the paper. The basis of the methodology for the assessment of power engineering stability is the use of an energy triangle, where the vertices are energy security, environmental sustainability and energy availability, where a set of indicators with their own weighting coefficients is used to evaluate each of the subsystems. The number of indicators, and, of course, the weighting coefficients are adjusted in time in order to fully take into account all the features of the power engineering. Recalculated The values of the Azerbaijan’s energy sector functioning stability during the period under review, taking into account all available indicators, some of which were not taken into account in the calculation of the WEC for the assessment of the individual subsystems, have been recalculated, due to this fact the Azerbaijan’s place in the ranking of countries has moved a few positions higher.

<p>In situ coal gasification technology (Underground Coal Gasification–UCG–) is an alternative to the traditional exploitation, due to it allows to reach the today’s inaccessible coal reserves’ recovery, to conventional mining technologies. In this article I answer the question on how the today’s reserves available volume, can be increased, given the possibility to exploit further and better the same resources. Mining is an important wealth resource in Colombia as a contributor to the national GDP. According with the Energy Ministry (Ministerio de Minas y Energía) [1] mining has been around 5% of total GDP in the last years. This is a significant fact due to the existence of a considerable volume of reserves not accounted for (proved reserves at year 2010 were 6.700 million of tons. Source: INGEOMINAS and UPME), and the coal future role’s prospect, in the world energy production.</p>

This article highlights the impact of values on the country’s welfare. Values that are quite constant over a long period of time form an institutional framework within the country. They can contribute to economic development or even prevent it. The aim of the article is to explore, what is the influence of social values, democracy and trade on welfare levels in different counties. The hypothesis is that the dominance in society of secular-rational values and the values of self-expression, democracy and trade (openness to the world) have a positive effect on the level of welfare of countries. The empirical part of the paper is based on the comparative analysis of relationship between GDP per capita and four values such as tolerance and respect, obedience, trust and freedom of choice for two waves of WVS – 2005-2009 and 2010-2014. Using correlation and regression analysis, the relationships between these indicators were evaluated. These values have a positive impact on welfare in OECD countries, some countries of Latin America, Asia and Africa with middle income per capita. However, there is a negative relationship between obedience and GDP per capita. This value is more important for some African and Asian countries and India. The relationship between GDP per capita and the aggregate value index showed a strong positive correlation for OECD countries. Then the regression model was estimated to assess the impact of values, trade and level of democracy on welfare growth and development. The results of the regression analysis showed a significant effect of the aggregated value indicator for all six samples, but this effect is weaker for high-income countries. The effect of the level of democracy is significant and positive only for the sub-sample of democratic countries, while it is negative for high-income countries. The effect of the level of trade on GDP per capita is statistically significant for the sample of all countries, the sub-sample of non-democratic countries and the sub-sample of high income and upper-middle income countries. Thus, we conclude that the institutional factors (the values and the level of democracy) are important determinants of GDP per capita for democratic countries while for non-democratic countries trade is more important.

The study deals with the socio-economic geographical analysis of the solar energy production — one of the most rapidly developing industries of the world energy complex. The aim of the study is to identify and explain main features of the territorial structure of solar energy production and assess its role and place in the world. The paper also investigates the factors that affect the development of solar energy production itself as well as the deployment of individual solar panels or solar power stations. The study carried out is based on the review of datasets and official documents which enable to draw a conclusion that the result of an intensive development of solar energy production is its dynamic spatial expansion visible in the emergence of new poles of growth which largely changes the territorial structure of the industry, transforming it from a monocentric to polycentric.

The world energy industry today is at a new stage of development, which is characterized by the strengthening of integration processes, the development of new technologies in the field of extraction and production of energy resources. The energy sector of Kazakhstan was designed with the understanding that it was part of the energy sector of the Soviet Union. Today Kazakhstan follows international development trends in the field of energy. To make a reliable forecast of the Kazakhstani energy sector, it is necessary to look at the global processes in the development of the world energy industry. There are several organizations that have this information. These are the International Energy Agency (IEA), the UN, the World Bank, large-scale international companies, etc. In forecasting energy consumption in Kazakhstan, as part of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), it is important to look at the forecasts for the EAEU member countries. This article provides basic information on forecasting the growth of electricity consumption in the world and in Kazakhstan, based on various sources. It also provides a comparative analysis of the use of various sources of electrical energy. A detailed analysis of the energy sector of Kazakhstan and the prospects for the use of renewable energy in Kazakhstan are considered.

Modern theoretical views point to the increasing role of renewable energy sources, biofuels in particular, as a way of creating a sustainable economy and an important condition for successful socio-economic development. Various methods of regulation are used to stimulate the production of biofuels in the world. The heterogeneous socio-economic situation of the world's countries makes it necessary to solve a whole range of scientific tasks to continuously optimize existing national programs for the development of the energy sector and determine the place of renewable energy production in them. The global heterogeneous socio-economic situation makes it necessary to solve a whole range of scientific tasks to continuously optimize existing national programs for energy sector development and determine the place of renewable energy production. The purpose of this study was to study the regulatory framework features for biofuel production in Russia according to the available target indicators for the development of the renewables and taking into account the experience of some leading countries. Based on the analysis, a number of directions for the development of regulatory support for biofuel production in Russia are identified: organizational, resource, environmental, scientific, educational, and economic. The collected information on the accumulated experience of the Russian Federation in the field of production of renewables is presented, as well as relevant materials available in some developed and developing countries. Based on these data, it is noted that the regulation of biofuel production by processing solid industrial, agricultural and household wastes containing organic compounds (biomass) can be considered as one of the promising approaches to protecting the environment from anthropogenic pollution both in the Russian Federation and in other countries. Thus, this approach in the future may be of key importance for the preservation and improvement of existing environmental conditions.

The continuous increase in human energy production per caput is accompanied by an increase in the world population. The work considers the demographic history of civilization as a function of the growing production and use of the energy by mankind. The evolution in the «energy-man» system took place relatively safely for the biosphere and a man up to the value of the per caput energy consumption of 11,000 kW*h/year*person that was achieved by civilization in 1950. Modern high per caput energy consumption of civilization is achieved at the cost of the loss of the environment-forming functioning by the biosphere and at the cost of the loss of the psychophysical health of a person. We can see the prospects for development of civilization through analysis of the energy-demographic history of mankind over the past 200 years. The features of fertility and mortality in the world are considered depending on the per caput energy consumption with a forecast for the future. Two limits to the growth of global energy production were formulated in terms of preventing harm to humans. Corresponding analytical dependencies are proposed. To prevent an ecological and demographic catastrophe and ensure transition of civilization to sustainable development, it is proposed to reduce the world energy production to 140*1012 kW*h/year with a decrease in per caput energy consumption to a relatively safe level of 18,000 kW*h/year*person, which existed in society in 1970. After this «step back» civilization will enter a state of relatively safe existence.
