“…Although the activities of states and societies in the field of environmental protection are visible, further work is needed to promote alternative renewable sources in order to also meet the growing energy needs of developing countries. This can have many benefits, including the development of the renewable energy system, improvement of the reliability of energy supply, and saving of organic fuels; solving problems of local energy and water supply; raising the standard of living and employment of the local population; ensuring the sustainable development of remote regions in desert and mountain zones; and the fulfillment of countries' obligations in the scope of fulfilling international agreements on environmental protection [30].…”

Investments in renewable energy sources are an important direction in the development of modern economies. Motivating organizations to include appropriate investments in their development strategies becomes an essential issue. It seems clear that organizations need to see the long-term benefits of such investments in order to follow this trend. This article presents a thesis that assumes that from the microeconomic perspective, such investments are conducive to the implementation of various goals of the organization, causing the phenomenon of resonance in spheres such as the implementation of the sustainable development strategy, the level of innovation in the organization, brand image, and brand equity. The survey method was carried out on a sample of 143 industrial companies in the food industry in order to verify the hypotheses based on previous examples. Among the most important findings, it should be noted that investments in renewable energy sources make a significant contribution to building the market position of enterprises, in particular, to the level of innovation, creating value in a sustainable enterprise, and achieving goals in the area of creating a positive brand image and brand equity. The findings show that investing in renewable energy is compatible with the organization’s different goals.

“…There is a large literature on the advantages of clean energy [2,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. In this literature, Pao et al suggested that developing clean energy is a viable solution for addressing energy security and climate change issues in MIST (Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, and Turkey) [14].…”

“…According to the report of the International Energy Agency (IEA), 2011 global energy use was evaluated at 12.7 billion tons of oil, with fossil fuels, renewable resources, and nuclear energy accounting for 81.5%, 9.8%, and 8.7%, respectively [21]. Now that clean energy has so many advantages [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], why not use it totally? Because resource allocation should aim to maximize outputs based on the least amount of resources (input factors), i.e.…”

“…• renewable energy sources emit significantly less GHG, particularly, carbon dioxide and other pollutants [19], and actually contribute to significant reductions in GHG emissions [20]; • generation of renewable energy has minimal impact on physical and natural environment [21], flexible to various landscapes, and has lower requirements to infrastructure, compared to coal-fired power plants; • production of renewable energy in decentralized manner helps meeting the rural and small-scale energy needs in remote and sparsely populated areas, including desert and mountain zones, natural reserves, and specially protected territories, in a reliable and environmentally sustainable way [22]; • implementation of renewable energy projects has social and territorial development effects, particularly, in rural areas, where it can create job opportunities and bring other economic benefits [23]; • renewable energy generating facilities require less maintenance costs compared to traditional energy generators [24].…”

In recent years, the environmental effects of energy production have increasingly entered into the foreground of the sustainable development agenda. Hydrocarbon-abundant countries are blamed to become the largest emitters of greenhouse gases, trace metals, and other pollutants due to extensive use of oil, gas, and coal in energy production. Combustion of fossil fuels for heat and power generation is reported to be among the major reasons for progressing climate change globally. The United Nations and other international actors have called on national governments to substantially increase the share of renewable energy, but the main point is how to incentivize the resource-rich countries to shift to greener technologies. For the example of Kazakhstan, whose energy sector is centered on coal, this paper discusses the challenges and prospects of wind power as both an environmentally friendly and efficient option to support a transition of a resource-rich country to a green economy and a sustainable energy future. Forty-two locations across the country have been assessed on the parameters of average annual wind speed, wind availability, and four types of potential for wind power production: gross, technical, economic, and emissions reduction. Some of the key findings are that at the height below 50 m above ground level, wind power production is economically viable in electricity-deficientt southern territories, particularly, in Djungar, Saryzhas, Zhuzimdyk, and Taraz. In western, central, and northern parts of Kazakhstan, at a height above 50 m, the most promising areas for wind power production are Caspian, Northwestern, Central, and Tarbagatay corridors. The paper identifies the areas with the highest emission reduction potential and elaborates the policies to encourage the selection of wind farm locations based on their “economic potential-environmental effect” ratio. The approach allows assessing the opportunities, which decentralized wind energy systems offer to transition away from a dependence on fossil fuels and to enable sustainable economic growth.
