Cluster Analysis of the EU-27 Countries in Light of the Guiding Principles of the European Green Deal, with Particular Emphasis on Poland

2022

The article presents a cluster analysis of the EU-27 countries. The clusters were built to identify groups of countries similar to each other in relation to the set of Eurostat indicators from the Climate Change Drivers and Environment and Energy sections. During the research, tools of spatial information systems were used, such as cluster analysis, diagram maps, rasterization and the TSA method. ARIMA prediction models were also used. The research aims to verify our hypotheses. Particular attention was paid to Poland; therefore, it was verified whether the composition of the country’s energy mix translated into excessive emissions of pollutants in relation to other EU countries. Furthermore, the level of integration of energy markets in the European Union and its changes over time were examined. The authors also proposed a methodology to create detailed energy and climate strategies for designated clusters. The results of the presented research are particularly important in light of recent events in Ukraine.

In this article, the authors present methods based on hard coal that may ensure energy security for European Union countries. The research was carried out based on the example of Poland. The main reason for which coal is being gradually withdrawn from the energy mixes in EU countries is its negative impact on the natural environment and the health of citizens and economic factors related to domestic fuel production. The authors propose the creation of energy–chemical clusters as a solution to these problems. It is assumed that the clusters would operate following the principles of the circular economy. We also propose methods for the optimization of the production and transport costs within the cluster. Then, we conduct profitability analysis of the proposed waste management methods. At the level of the designated cluster, using network algorithms enabled us to reduce the transport costs by at least 50%. It is possible to obtain rare earth elements (REEs) worth USD 22,970 from 1 Mg of ash. At the level of the analyzed cluster, this leads to an annual profit of USD 3.5 billion. The profit related to algae production at the cluster level is approximately USD 2.5 bn.

“…Some of the recent studies conducted in different countries and regions of the world are reviewed in detail in Table 1. It can be observed that AHP has been exploited for various wetland issues such as vulnerability (Ghosh & Das, 2019; Malekmohammadi & Jahanishakib, 2017; Saha & Pal, 2019), restoration (Maleki, Soffianian, Koupaei, Pourmanafi, & Saatchi, 2018; Mao et al., 2019; Qu et al., 2019), ecosystem health (Chen et al., 2019; Das, Pradhan, Shi, & Alamri, 2020; Sun, Tang, Yu, Song, & Wang, 2019; Wu et al., 2018), degradation risk (Jiang, Lv, Wang, Chen, & Liu, 2017), forest suitability (Yun, Kang, Kim, & Kang, 2019) and nutrient filtering (Alamanos & Papaioannou, 2020).…”

The aim of this study was to develop sustainable management strategies for the Akgöl Wetland in Turkey, which lacked a management plan, in an integrated manner via using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and web‐based geographic information systems. As such, it aimed to present the utility of AHP in wetland management studies. Water quality and soil analysis, field studies and remote sensing analyses were simultaneously conducted to define the prevailing characteristics and dynamics of the wetland. The results of all the studies conducted were compiled and analysed by a multi‐disciplinary team of experts, and eight outstanding criteria for wetland rehabilitation were determined. A convenient web‐based GIS application, accessible online and capable of handling queries, was developed as part of dissemination activity. This study, by developing a management and a monitoring methodology, forms a model for other wetlands suffering from changes in both quality and quantity, which is still a common problem experienced in the world today.
