What is stopping energy efficiency in Russia? Exploring the confluence of knowledge, negligence, and other social barriers in the Krasnodar Region

Global Monitoring of the Development of Digital Energetics Based on the Technologies of Industry 4.0: IoT, Blockchain, Robots, and Artificial Intelligence

“…Unlike Baxter (2012), Inshakov et al (2019), Kabeyi and Olanrewaju (2022), Kapitonov et al (2019), Kluczek et al (2021), andRatner et al (2022), it was proved that digitalization of the energy economy based on advanced technologies of Industry 4.0 is not universal-it should be based on a unique organizational model for each category of countries, considering its peculiarities. The reasoning of this conclusion is based on the fundamental differences in the connection of energy sustainability with the readiness for the Frontier Technologies Index and with the government AI Readiness Index among countries of different categories.…”

“…Maggiore et al (2021), Morelli et al (2022), Wachnik et al (2022), andZaidan et al (2022) indicated that, in order to fully take benefit of the advanced technologies of Industry 4.0 in the energy economy, it is advisable to actively use them by representatives of all interested parties: energy companies, state regulators of the energy economy, and energy consumers. Baxter (2012), Inshakov et al (2019), Kabeyi and Olanrewaju (2022), Kapitonov et al (2019), Kluczek et al (2021), andRatner et al (2022) stated that the digitalization of the energy economy based on advanced technologies of Industry 4.0 is universal-it is suitable for all countries, regardless of their energy efficiency, role, and position in global energy markets. Based on the above publications, it can be concluded that the existing approach to the development of the energy economy based on Industry 4.0 technologies recognizes digitalization as a priority of this development with the secondary sustainability of energy (it is assumed that digitalization provides it).…”

The modern capabilities of monitoring of sustainable and environmental development of the energy economy based on big data and datasets

“…The problem is that sustainability and environmental friendliness of energy are multifaceted, which makes it difficult to quantify them Popkova and Sergi, 2021;Shabaltina et al, 2021;. To date, many indices have been calculated that directly or indirectly reflect the sustainability and environmental friendliness of energy (Sisodia et al, 2020;Štreimikienė et al, 2022;Teichmann et al, 2020), as well as many individual statistical indicators, but a systematic understanding of it has not yet been formed (Gallo et al, 2020;Ratner et al, 2021;Ratner et al, 2022).…”

“…In the existing literature, authors such as Hao (2022), Kluczek and Gladysz (2022), Romdhane et al (2022), Xie (2022) proposed many methodological developments to improve the assessment of the energy economy, but no clear idea has been formed on how to implement them in practice. The calculated values of the composite indices on the example of individual countries cannot be used for analysis on the scale of the global energy economy, which does not allow international comparisons (de Oliveira Gabriel et al, 2022;Rink et al, 2022).…”

Challenges and prospects of decarbonization of the economy in the age of AI

“…On the other hand, deep contradictions of decarbonization remain undisclosed, but gradually are coming to the surface (Ratner et al, 2022), since the existing technological structure does not allow for completely replacing natural energy resources with "green" analogues (Sisodia et al, 2020;Teichmann et al, 2020). A vivid manifestation of these contradictions is that the countries that are leaders in the field of decarbonization of the economy-the United States, Japan, the European Union and the United Kingdom-are experiencing energy crises (Gallo et al, 2020;Ratner et al, 2021;Štreimikienė et al, 2022).…”
