Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to analyze and address the challenges of implementing green energy in Ukraine, in particular, to identify its advantages and disadvantages. The implementation of solar renewable sources—stations, panels, and batteries—is emphasized. The results of sociological surveys of Ukrainian public opinion on environmental issues, in particular, energy issues, are presented. The existence of public demand for renewable energy and the readiness of the population to use renewable energy sources are identified. A strategy for strengthening the country’s energy independence in the face of new globalization challenges is defined. General scientific methods as well as special methods were used in this paper: statistical analysis, secondary analysis of data from sociological studies of public institutions, and desk analysis of documents and reports from public services. In this paper, it is concluded that Ukraine is geographically and territorially attractive for green energy development and investment. It is important that there is a public and state demand in the country to strengthen the country’s energy security, in particular, through the introduction of renewable energy sources. Therefore, despite drawbacks and obstacles, green energy in Ukraine has great prospects.
Highlights
One of the most pressing contemporary challenges is the preservation of energy resources and the search for and use of alternative energy sources
Yermolayev points out, the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has accelerated the processes of historic change in the global energy sector, which has long accumulated its internal potential for full systemic implementation
According to the German Federal Statistical Office, in the first quarter of 2020, renewable energy accounted for 51.2% of all electricity produced in Germany—the first time this has ever happened overall, the market share of green energy increased by 14.9% compared to the first quarter of 2019
Summary
One of the most pressing contemporary challenges is the preservation of energy resources and the search for and use of alternative energy sources. This problem is especially urgent for Ukraine, since it has energy-intensive production, which requires significant expenditures of natural energy sources. We are talking and not so much about changing the energy supply of industrial production with alternative types of energy and fuel, but first of all, about preserving natural resources and the health of people, in particular, the younger generation. “The energy sector has been waiting for a long time for an unambiguous signal that can show longterm guarantees of a new “green” market and an ideologically unquestioning demand for new technologies and new qualities of capital Organization for the future fundamental restructuring of this industry; the demand for development through transformation is both a priority energy recovery method (including infrastructure for its implementation), and business models for capital behavior, directions and areas of its redistribution” [1]
