The International Energy Agency shows that by the end of the decade, half of the world’s energy production will come from renewable sources, but that is less than planned. The “thirst” for energy is growing, so they call on countries to speed up projects and support regions that are lagging behind. Serbia also has ambitious plans.
The share of renewable energy in Serbia is now around 38 percent, and the plan is to increase it to 45 percent by the end of the decade. New projects of wind parks and large solar power plants are already being built and developed, but EPS also plays a significant role in this with the started and planned capacity building works at thermal power plant ash pits.
Gligo Vuković, program manager for energy at the EU Mission in Serbia, points out that this is the best example of how existing human capacities, location and transmission systems can be used in an optimal way to increase production from renewable sources in Serbia, while at the same time reducing production from fossil fuels. fuel.
Different contribution of EU members
Although in the first half of the year the European Union received half of its electricity from renewable sources, the contribution of the member states is different.
Belgium is building an energy island where it will store electricity from wind farms in the North Sea to power three million households.
Sweden, which is among the leaders in the production of green energy, can slow down its capacity development with the new decision. It abandoned the construction of wind farms in the Baltic waters, because it was estimated that there were military risks for locating and firing missiles.
“The Swedish government has decided to reject projects for 13 wind farms along the coast of the Baltic Sea. The decision was made based on the reasoning that their installation would have unacceptable consequences for Sweden’s defense,” says Romina Purmoktari, Minister of Climate and Environment.
The richest with black gold announce a green boom
The richest in oil, the United Arab Emirates, is announcing a green technological boom and is preparing to apply artificial intelligence on a large scale to the entire energy sector for the first time, with investments of one and a half billion a year.
“To optimize energy sources, predict peaks and troughs in demand and improve battery storage,” said Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technologies of the UAE.
“We work in more than 40 countries around the world, where we promote renewable energy and invest. And we showed those countries what this transformation is like and what benefits it brings to their economies,” says Suhail el Mazrui, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure of the UAE.
China, the European Union and the United States are leading in the production of green energy, and their share exceeds 80 percent of global production.
