The purpose of this study is to verify the condition of European Union economy and its ability to effectively implement the concept of sustainable development in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. To achieve the goal settled by this research, we used the technical indicator MACD (Moving Average Convergence / Divergence), based on the assessment of the convergence and divergence of moving averages of macroeconomic indicators. The studies carried out made it possible to identify three scenarios for the state of the EU economy after 2022. All these scenarios pose a high risk of a crisis phenomena in this economic system. According to the optimistic scenario, after 2022, a downward correctional wave is predicted in the EU-27 economy with the emergence of a situation similar to the situation in 2008. The search for a new economic model based on the active implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies can become a way for the EU economy to recover from the crisis and move to a qualitatively new level of socio-economic development.

“…The German government intends to decrease substantially the carbon emissions from its building stock (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie 2010, 22). While there are many potential strategies to decarbonize the heat supply (Britton et al 2021), one promising strategy instrument is district heating systems using low-carbon sources such as renewable sources and waste heat sources (BMUB, 2016, 41;Bareiß 2020). In 2016, less than 15% of German households were supplied by district heating systems (Bundesverband der Energie-und Wasserwirtschaft, 2017, 8).…”
Section: District Heating As a Configurational Innovation Systemmentioning
The decarbonizing the heat sector is a major challenge in the energy transition in Germany and elsewhere. District heating systems could play an important role in this context. However, the diffusion of the technology in Germany has been very slow. The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the technological innovation system (TIS) to enhance understandings of the impediments to the diffusion of non-urban district heating systems. Due to its strong local context dependence, district heating can be understood as a configurational technology, and the TIS in which it is embedded as a configurational TIS. The paper contributes to the literature by developing policy suggestions that could lead to an acceleration of the diffusion of locally context-dependent technologies. The author recommends that policymaking in configurational TIS should aim at designing smart innovation system structures that can manage a high level of context specificity and facilitate vertical and horizontal knowledge exchange.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
