Decarbonization of the economy – the geophysical meaninglessness and economic disadvantage of combating the greenhouse effect (open source analysis). Part 3. “Green” energy transition in the world and in Russia

The combat greenhouse gas emissions, primarily anthropogenic carbon dioxide, is at the center of global climate policy. Decarbonization of the global economy is possible by converting all kind of industry, primarily energy generation, to carbon-free or low-carbon technologies”. In the last decade, changes have occurred in the global fuel and energy balance, and the use of alternative energy sources has expanded. This process is defined as the fourth energy transition. The article provides an analysis of plans for the renewable energy usage in the world and in Russia and the results of their implementation. It was noted that the global energy development will be determined by the energy consumption growth rate and the dynamics of structural changes against the background of the search for a balance between decarbonization policy and economic feasibility. It is concluded that the fourth ( green”) energy transition is at the very beginning of its path.
