Trends and conditions for the development of green energy in the Russian Federation

Abstract

The second decade of the twenty-first century was a turning point when the leaders of the largest and most developed countries began to talk about a gradual transition from traditional energy sources to renewable ones. This decision was made in connection with the growth of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, and, as a consequence, an increase in the temperature of the lower layers of the atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect. The purpose of the study is to identify effective practices and prospects for the development of green energy in Russia through a comparative analysis of trends and conditions for supporting the production of renewable energy in the country. The study was carried out using methods of descriptive statistics analysis and comparative analysis, graphical and tabular visualization of the results. Sources used include data from the International Energy Agency, independent information, and an analytical center under the Government of the Russian Federation.

Public Attitude towards Nuclear and Renewable Energy as a Factor of Their Development in a Circular Economy Frame: Two Case Studies

“…In addition, the attitude towards renewable energy sources (RES) and their development in the country are also interrelated: the result of a previous study showed that Russian residents do not consider green energy as promising that correlates with the pace of its development: traditional energy facilities prevail in Russia to a greater extent [5,[33][34][35]. Consequently, the attitude of society, in this case, may also be considered as one of the barriers to the development of renewable energy in Russia.…”
