| Abstract [eng] |
Renewable energy sources are gaining increasing attention around the world. The main reasons for this are to increase the security of energy supply and to mitigate the dangerous climate change associated with the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Fossil fuel resources are limited and unevenly distributed. Some countries have large quantities of them, while others are forced to import fuel and thus become dependent on fuel-exporting countries. The energy sector occupies one of the most important roles in terms of economic, social and environmental protection in order to achieve sustainable development. However, the energy sector is one of the most polluting sectors of the economy, causing such unbalanced effects of energy development as such as CO2 and air emissions, waste accumulation, water pollution, deforestation and soil degradation. Therefore, sustainable energy is one of the EU's priority policy areas in implementing sustainable development goals. Sustainable energy is the production and consumption of energy that ensures the long-term goals of human development in all social, economic and environmental aspects. This could be equated to an effort to reconcile a country's economic growth and social progress without wasting non-renewable energy resources and without endangering the ecological balance. Sustainable energy uses innovative energy technologies from renewable energy sources such as hydropower, solar, wind, waves, tides, geothermal energy, bioenergy. These innovative energy technologies also improve energy efficiency. Renewable energy sources such as biomass, solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower are indigenous sources of energy, reducing the need for fuel imports and increasing energy security. When using renewable energy sources, significantly lower amounts of greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere. Innovative energy technologies can play an important role in the development of sustainable energy, taking into account the economic, social and environmental indicators of sustainable development. The objective of this paper is to systematically review the literature on the importance of innovative energy technologies in the development of sustainable energy. Methods of the research – systematic scientific literature analysis. In conclusion it could be added, that innovative energy technologies can accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. Sustainable energy is an integral part of sustainable development, and it is important to take into account economic, social and environmental aspects when implementing sustainable energy. |
