Aspects Regarding Renewable Sources in the European Union

Abstract

The use of renewable energy sources offers opportunities for regional and local development. Thus, it can be appreciated that the use of renewable sources can stimulate the development of local communities. An advantage is also given by an increased security in terms of local energy supply, but also by a reduction in energy transport losses. Recently, there has been some interest in investing in the development of energy generation technologies and especially in renewable sources. For the period 1990-2020, a comparative situation of gross electricity production and electricity production capacities for renewables is presented. Pollution and climate change can affect both the production and consumption of electricity. There has been interest in using more and more diverse sources. Given the interest in reducing energy consumption in transport, important measures are needed to increase the energy efficiency of transport. In the article, an analysis is made of the share of renewable energy in the final gross energy consumption, for the period 2004-2020, with particularization for the transport sector.

Post-Pandemic Resilience: Revitalizing Romania's Agri-Food Value Chains

“…The study by Burlacu et al (2022a) underscores the global lack of economic and food security, suggesting that the proposed international classificationframework of agri-food reserves/resources and the development of short local and proximity value chains for micro-businesses could be instrumental in enhancing food security, not only in Romania but globally. Moreover, the discussion by Rădulescu et al (2022a) on renewable sources in the European Union implies that the research could underscore the sustainable and efficient development of agri-food resources in Romania and its alignment with the EU's renewable sources and sustainability goals. Additionally, Burlacu et al (2022b) examined the socio-economic implications of rural population migration, indicating that developing local and proximity value chains for micro-businesses could potentially generate employment opportunities and mitigate rural migration.…”

The Current State of Industrial Production in the European Union and New Recovery Solutions

“…Descriptive statistics, comparative analysis and strategic group mapping used in data analysis. Indeed, food production is one of the most energy-intensive processing sectors (Rădulescu et al, 2022). Authors Berglund et al (2022) familiarize us with EU Directive 92/57/EEC, which focuses on ensuring that health and safety aspects are considered at every stage of construction work and have been introduced into the regulations of member countries.…”
