“…It is useful to note that there is interdependence and interconnections between electrical energy security and climate because electrical energy is crucial to the economic and social life of every state (Debebe et al, 2023;Kicaj et al, 2023). In fact, foreign policy, national interest, support for democracy, economic development, reduction in poverty, and protection of the environment revolve around energy (Bovan, Vucenovic, & Peric, 2020; LaBelle, 2023).…”

Algae have been present in the water treatments technologies, food for animals makingprocesses or even for diet supplements production for many years now. Recent years, however, have brought a number of ideas and discoveries for a wider use of these autotrophs. Their use is related to the broadly understood environmental protection and many threads of combating climate change. Currently, one of the most common ways of using algae is the production of liquid biofuels of the 3 rd and 4 th generation and unconventional biomass generation. Biofuels obtained from algae, in addition to lower amounts of harmful substances contained in them, are often characterized by a negative emission balance. It is related to the fact that those organisms, being in an exponential growth phase, assimilate the carbon dioxideneeded for photosynthesis. The production of energy substances from algae and microalgae in the teeth of draining fossil fuel deposits and their destructive impact on the environment. That sooth combined with the ease and low cost of culture, condition they become a real alternative to existing energy sources. Unique properties of algae linked with the fact that they are among the best, known biological energy converters opens the way to a number of opportunities to use them in other economic sectors. Certainly, the technological revolution in the energy market in addition to the requirement to create the most efficient reactors, in-depth research on the properties of fuels and the producers themselves still needs to be regulated by law. Algae can be grown in polluted waters, and the energy raw materials produced from them are able to reach (without emission logistic costs) a negative balance of 𝐶𝑂2 emissions. This phenomenon and the fact that apart from fuels and biogas, they can be used for purposes such as carbon sequestration, creating energy biomass, medicines and dietary supplements, as well as food for animals, for example, the most reasonable choice would be to create advanced regulations regarding the closed- circuit policy in the energy sector, based precisely on biologically active organisms. This work focuses on gathering and presenting basic information regarding current technologies related to algae, their potential uses in the energy sector, and the long-term prospects for their development. It also takes into account the issues associated with the holistic nature of energy harvesting methods such as the one discussed. Key words: algae, bioeconomy, biofuels, biorefinery

The global energy sector remains affected by the Russian-Ukraine crisis. Prior to the crisis, the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has energy transition plan from fossil fuel to renewable sources, a measure aimed at addressing climate change by the year 2030. However, while the Russian-Ukraine belligerent relationship was not predicted, it has served as a catalyst for energy transition across the world given the increase in the price of fossil fuel. The study addressed the question; Is the effect of Russia-Ukraine crisis on fossil fuel accessibility enhancing renewable energy deployment in electricity generation in Nigeria? The study analyzed how the effect of Russia-Ukraine crisis on fossil fuel accessibility in enhancing renewable energy deployment in electricity generation in Nigeria. The underlying assumption of the study is that the Russia-Ukraine crisis will not catalyze the transition of electricity generation from fossil fuel to renewable sources in Nigeria. The theoretical framework of the study is public choice theory and it is applied from the perspective that government instrument instead of market force allocate certain need. The study adopted descriptive research design and Nigeria transition to renewable energy was case studied. Information were obtained from purposively selected government documents and website pages of concerned agencies. Information gathered were content analyzed. The study noted that electrical energy continued to be sourced from non-renewable sources in the country despite the extant policies of government on transition to renewable energy in the country. The study concluded that politics rather than emergency situation drives energy transition.

The article presents an analysis of benefits of the energy recovery from waste. Presented a look at energy recovery from waste as part of a modern and diversified national energy policy. Energy recovery from waste is an essential link in closing the model of a sustainable closed-cycle economy. The paper presents the basic legal regulations on energy recovery from waste in Poland and the European Union and discusses the waste hierarchy model, according to which energy recovery from waste is placed behind material recycling. The technical basis of the energy recovery process in waste incineration plants is presented, as well as the possibility of classifying part of the energy recovered from waste as energy from a renewable source. The importance of cogeneration, regarded as the most efficient way of producing energy from waste, is emphasised Key words: waste management, recycling, energy recovery, renewable energy sources, sustainability
