ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ ЭНЕРГЕТИЧЕСКОГО ЛАНДШАФТА РАЗНЫХ СТРАН МИРА В ЭПОХУ ПЕРЕХОДА К ЧИСТОЙ ЭНЕРГИИ

Abstract

Goals. The purpose of this work is to study the energy landscape in countries around the world through indicators of electricity generation from various sources, taking into account the economic efficiency of some energy processes. Relevance. The relevance of the topic is due to the need to study changes in the energy system that affect the entire world economy. As the cost of renewable energy technologies falls and production capacity expands, the transition from fossil fuels to a cleaner, more sustainable energy system is accelerating and delivering significant socio-economic benefits, and performance analysis in this area remains important and relevant. Research methods. The main research methods are grouping and comparison of indicators. The sample countries were grouped by energy type based on the volume of electricity generated from various sources, and then the indicators of electricity consumption per capita and per unit of Gross Domestic Product were compared and analyzed. Main results. Countries are grouped by energy type in terms of sources of electricity generation, and countries are also compared in terms of electricity consumption per capita and one of the key indicators of the energy intensity of the economy - the ratio of electricity consumption to Gross Domestic Product per capita. Findings for groups of countries are presented in the context of selected indicators for comparison.
