Estimation of tendencies of transforming the energy sectors of World, European and Ukraine in the perspective to 2050 with using the renewable energy sources in the concept of Sustainable Development

Abstract

The study presents an approach aimed at assessing trends in the reform of the energy sector of the world, the European Union and Ukraine in the future until 2050, using renewable energy sources in the concept of Sustainable Development. Our research is aimed at: analysing the energy sector of the world, the European Union and Ukraine and identifying the benefits of using renewable energy sources in the concept of Sustainable Development, assessment of prospects for the application of innovative technologies based on renewable energy sources in the concept of Sustainable Development. A number of criteria for energy, economic and environmental efficiency of innovative technologies for the use of renewable energy sources are analysed in order to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of energy and resourcesaving, environmentally friendly and cost-effective innovative technologies in the concept of Sustainable Development. This approach allows providing a reasonable definition of prospects for the use of energy and resource-saving, environmentally friendly and cost-effective innovative technologies for the use of renewable energy sources in the concept of sustainable development to increase energy, economic efficiency and environmental security of Ukraine's energy sector
