“…Generally accepted qualitative and quantitative economic research methods have been applied in this study to evaluate air pollution by days, seasons, years and sources, as well as pollutant emissions declared in statistics databases, energy consumption by sectors and fuels and public awareness. In general these were methods of analysis and synthesis for studying problems and processes in order to set the necessary stages of activities; questionnaires for different groups of society were developed (Actiņa et al, 2015;Kleperis et al, 2011;Steinberga et al, 2013;Sloka et al, 2014;Geipele et al, 2015).…”

“…Attention to hydrogen as energy source for public transport has been discussed world-wide (Hoffmann, 2012) and analysis of different experience has been evaluated (Reijalt, 2010;Tarigan & Bayer, 2012;Ahmed et al, 2015;Cruz and Katz-Gerro, 2015;Singh et al, 2015). In Latvia scientists pay significant attention to energy planning and managing problems (Actiņa et al, 2015;Geipele et al, 2014;Geipele et al, 2015). Department of Energy (USA) concludes that current knowledge and awareness levels of hydrogen and fuel cells are still low in the general public, and misunderstandings of hydrogen properties continue to impart negative opinions about the safe use of hydrogen as a fuel (U.S. Department of Energy, 2012).…”

The analysis of the results of long-term air quality monitoring in Riga is presented, which shows that in city centre throughout the measurement time (2004-2014) according to the guidelines defined by the European Union directives and Latvian laws the limits of small particles PM10 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are exceeded. From the nature of appearance of pollution and from the research of morphology and composition of fine dust particles it was concluded that in the city centre where the monitoring was performed the main air pollutants are caused by internal combustion engine vehicles. The measures to reduce air pollution performed by two Action Programs (2004-2009; 2011-2015) of the City Council showed that there were only two possible ways to improve air quality in urban environment ‒ to decrease the number of traffic units and/or to decrease exhaust emissions from vehicles. From the analysis of energy consumption and resources used for it the conclusion was drawn that Latvia is dependent on fossil fuel import, especially in traffic sector (99 %). A new trend has been observed in Latvia ‒ the type of cars is changing: the number of gasoline cars rapidly decreases and number of diesel cars is growing. Both fuels in exhaust gases of second-hand cars are giving high emissions of fine particles (soot) and nitrogen oxides as compared with new cars; 72 % of cars on the roads of Latvia are more than 13 years old. The switch to bio-diesel can improve Latvian statistics according to CO2 reduction target for 2020 but not the concentration of PM10 and NO2 on streets with dense traffic. Therefore, to improve air quality in urban environment and simultaneously reduce the dependence of Latvia from fossil fuel import, a scenario is proposed for the changeover to zero-carbon technologies in transport and energy production. Hydrogen is analyzed from the point of view of availability of resources and commercialized technologies. The research of the public opinion was done because there is little awareness in society about hydrogen as energy carrier and simultaneously as fuel.

Shorter product lifecycles, new product introductions, increased competition, the emergence of new markets and ever-changing consumer needs are forcing companies to bring new products to market. However, not all innovative solutions are commercially successful. At the same time, there are many systems for assessing the effectiveness of the commercialisation chain that would meet the needs of companies in different sectors. The aim of the work is to systematise evaluation indicators and to develop recommendations that can be useful in forming a system of evaluation indicators for analysing the effectiveness of the commercialisation chain. Currently, there are various approaches to the evaluation of innovation commercialisation. Researchers base them on indicators grouped according to specific criteria with certain weights. The company can choose one of these approaches or develop its own. At the same time, they need to consider the following points. When creating a system of evaluation indicators, it is advisable to use as many indicators as are most relevant to the organisation's objectives. When creating this set of indicators, one should consider different aspects (effects) of commercialisation. It is better to focus on objective indicators (indices); however, in their absence and the need to calculate indicators with different units of measurement, there is a need for their normalisation. When determining the weights of groups and individual indicators, in order to achieve greater objectivity, it is possible to use simultaneously the methods of balancing, weighting and general category weighting. After calculating the integral indicator, it is necessary to check its adequacy using various methods and to compare its value in different scenarios. The data approach to the development of the system of evaluation indicators for the analysis of the effectiveness of the commercialisation chain will contribute to the formation of a sufficiently objective evaluation system that takes into account the various impacts of commercialisation (economic, market, social, environmental, and so forth).
