Abstract
The increasing global demand for energy represents one of the critical challenges faced by humanity today. Energy production is essential for social development and fulfilling human needs. However, energy production and consumption often result in significant environmental degradation and adverse effects on human health. Most energy companies use coal, oil and natural gas, which causes significant emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere, pollution of water sources and other negative consequences. This article aims to explore the potential and environmental impacts of renewable energy sources. We conducted an in-depth study of thematic research and scientific literature on the development of renewable energy over the past five years. This research focused on issues of global renewable energy and ecology. The study found that energy production, while essential for social development, often leads to significant environmental degradation and adverse health effects. Traditional energy sources like coal, oil, and natural gas contribute to harmful emissions and water pollution. Technological advancements have facilitated more environmentally sustainable energy sources, such as wind, solar, hydroelectric power, and biofuels. The article concentrates on exploring the potential of renewable energy in the context of its impact on the environment. The findings highlight the importance of phased adoption strategies for renewable projects, tailored to financial capabilities, as demonstrated in Ukraine. This approach contrasts with large-scale investments and offers a model for countries with similar GDP values. Further research is recommended to compare the environmental effects of different renewable energy sources and develop financial support schemes for minor projects. Strengthening the link between financial incentives and investments in renewable energy is crucial for creating optimal conditions for sustainable development.
