Features of the Use of Renewable Energy Sources in Agriculture

Abstract

The article considers the prospects of using renewable energy sources in agriculture. The authors focused on the following types of renewable energy sources: Solar, biomass, wind, and hydro generated power. Based on the analysis of Renewables Global Status Report data, the authors identified a decrease in the amount of investment in renewable energy and fuel by developed countries in developing countries. This work highlights the main reasons for the development of renewable energy (environmental safety, energy independence), as well as positive and negative aspects of the transition to renewable energy. The authors of the article reveal the features of job creation in the renewable energy industries, which will compensate for the loss of jobs in the field of fossil energy. Much attention is paid to the economy of renewable energy sources, revealing the relationship between energy use and economic growth. According to the authors, the use of RES not only increase the level of energy supply to remote rural settlements, but also can have a significant positive impact on the economy of agriculture.

State Policy of Kazakhstan on Implementing of Renewable Energy Sources in Textile Industry Companies

“…In the research of Kazakhstani scientists, the prospects of using renewable energy sources (Bolyssov, 2019), the use of solar energy (Abayev, 2018) and biogas (Tasmaganbetov, 2020) are considered as alternative energy sources.…”

Opportunities and Potential of Bioenergy Development in Agroindustrial Complexes of Kazakhstan

“…Their research examines the prospects for the use of renewable energy sources in agriculture (Bolyssov, 2019) and the possibility of using organic waste as a primary resource for the production of biogas, electricity and heat (Tasmaganbetov, 2020).…”

World Practice of Using Biogas as Alternative Energy

“…According to Kazakhstani scientists, environmental and economic problems of energy supply should be considered in the context of energy security (Yessengeldin, 2018), prospects for the use of renewable energy sources (Bolyssov, 2019. ) and the use of price instruments of state support for the renewable energy development (Tasmaganbetov, 2020).…”
