“…In the EU, national energy participation issues are also being addressed. Articles [68,69] analyzed the impact of fossil sources on the energy mix. Based on Eurostat data, the energy mix in the European Union in 2021 was dominated by renewable energy-49%, nuclear energy-31.3% and solid fossil fuels-18.1%, natural gas-6.4%, crude oil-3.1%.…”

The rapid transition to electric-drive vehicles is taking place globally. Most automakers are adding electric models to their lineups to prepare for the new electric future. From the analysis of the automotive market, it is evident that there is a growing interest in such vehicles. They are expected to account for half the models released after 2030. Electric-drive vehicles include battery-electric vehicles. As indicated in the research literature and emphasized by experts, electric vehicles (EVs) are supposed to be an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional vehicles. The rising number and variety of EVs contribute to a better understanding of their performance. With more EVs on the market, there are problems to be solved and challenges to overcome. This article is the first part of a two-article series reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of EVs. The article analyzes the environmental effects of EVs at each stage of their life cycle, compares large- and small-scale recycling methods, and explores the potential applications of second-life batteries. This article is an attempt to find out how environmentally friendly EVs are.

“…The implementation of innovative energy technology is considered a crucial factor by researchers in facilitating the utilization and advancement of renewable energy sources. In the scientific literature, non-renewable energy sources are generally seen as non-innovative and renewable energy sources as innovative [36]. According to the paper [4], innovative energy technologies encompass a range of technologies that harness renewable energy resources, enhance the efficacy of energy systems, and provide customers products and services that empower them to manage their energy consumption.…”

The object of the research is the alignment of innovative energy technologies with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12, which pertains to sustainable consumption and production. The problem to be solved – there is an ambiguity regarding how these technologies contribute to SDG 12. This study aims to conduct a strategic analysis of external factors influencing innovative energy technologies from the perspective of SDG 12. The results show that innovative energy technologies, like bioenergy, geothermal energy, solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, and ocean energy, enhance energy efficiency, cut emissions, and reduce waste and toxins. These technologies align with SDG 12 and are shaped by various legislations. They intersect with the shift from fossil fuels, requiring analysis in the context of other UN SDGs. Legal frameworks must adapt to innovative energy technologies. The findings highlight that innovative energy technologies support SDG 12 by ensuring energy efficiency and reducing emissions. These technologies address economic and environmental challenges, promote sustainable progress and economic growth, enhance business competitiveness, stabilize prices, diversify energy sources, ensure national energy security and reduce energy poverty. The scope and conditions for practical application of the results of this research provide valuable insights for the scientific community, energy companies, policymakers, and investors in the energy sector. They can be used to inform decisions and strategies aimed at aligning energy technologies with the objectives of SDG 12. However, the implementation and effectiveness of these technologies also depend on regulatory support, industry collaboration, and public acceptance of new energy solutions.

“…mining), pro-environmental activities (e.g. launching financial support for renewable energy sources), quality management systems and implementing a policy of building pro-environmental awareness (Siekierski & Śliwa 2015, Olkiewicz 2015, Michalak et al 2023. Most activities are the result of, among others, globalisation, environmental degradation, raw material and energy crisis, and limited resources.…”

“…Such targeted activities of economic entities, on the so-called environmental economics, aimed at minimising costs as part of pro-environmental activities, are increasingly positively assessed and create greater competitiveness. Taking advantage of market opportunities and strengths through implemented environmental innovations sometimes becomes the main determinant of the entity's existence, especially where the ecological attractiveness of the sector is high and the degree of environmental degradation is low (Puciato & Żmigrodzki 2009, Michalak et al 2023.…”

The economic, technical, technological, social and economic development of the world, carried out at an increasingly faster pace, aims to increase the quality and standards of life. Attempting to meet market stakeholders' changing expectations and requirements significantly affects the overexploitation of natural resources and the degradation of the natural environment, often leading to irreversible consequences. The publication aims to analyse selected changes in the natural surroundings that influence the implementation decisions of the environmental management system. Research conducted over the last 10 years shows that the pro-environmental activities undertaken bring results not only in the number of management systems implemented but also in the number of ecological farms created, reduction of air pollution and reduction in the extraction of natural resources (coal).
