“…Also [ 58 ] have analyzed Romania’s renewable energy potential and explained the ways in which it can be capitalized through investments and public-private partnerships. For Hungary [ 59 ] proposed an optimization of the action plan aimed to ensure the use of renewable energy taking into account the energy needs and the potential of this country. The researchers [ 60 ] have also suggested for Bulgaria public policy measures that would ensure the implementation of a scenario in which the 2020 and 2030 renewable energy consumption targets are met.…”

Renewable energy consumption and economic growth. Causality relationship in Central and Eastern European countries

The new European model stipulates the achievement of an inclusive, sustainable and intelligent economic growth. Increasing the share of renewable energy is one of the factors that improve the quality of economic growth, similar to research, development and investment in human capital. In this paper we tested the correlation between economic growth and renewable energy consumption for ten European Union (EU) member states from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in the period 1990–2014, using Auto-regressive and Distributed Lag (ARDL) modeling procedure, a technique that captures causal relationships both on a short run and on a long run. The short run perspective reveals the transition towards a new energy paradigm, while the long run approach corresponds to the long-term equilibrium of the analyzed factors. Our results shows that, in the short run, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Renewable Energy Consumption (REC) dynamics are independent in Romania and Bulgaria, while in Hungary, Lithuania and Slovenia an increasing renewable energy consumption improves the economic growth. The hypothesis of bi-directional causality between renewable energy consumption and economic growth is validated in the long run for both the whole group of analyzed countries as well as in the case of seven CEE states which were studied individually. These results allow us to look into the feasibility of the Europe 2020 goals regarding the increase of energy efficiency and to propose public policies to achieve these goals.

“…The coefficients di appearing in the objective function represent the value of the fixed cost that is independent from the heat generation [14]. The coefficients ci express the variable cost [1] of alternative i, which is the part of the total cost that is proportional to the energy generation including the monetized costs of climate and environmental impacts of the production.…”

“…At present, total peak heat system demand is about 1150 MW depending on actual weather conditions, while total heat energy consumption is about 11.6 PJ/a. In recent years, total heat demand has shown a slightly decreasing tendency as a result of efforts to improve the energy efficiency of buildings [1]. Present heat sources include co-generation power plants (ranging from small power plants consisting of internal combustion engines to large main activity producers with Combined Cycle Gas Turbine technology), district heating plants, and individual boiler houses.…”

A multiobjective optimization methodology is presented in the context of the optimal heat supply porfolio of Budapest. The techno-economic assessment is complemented by monetizing the environmental impacts and the influence of the technology choices on human health. Among the technology options, also long-distance heating from Paks Nuclear District Heating has been considered and evaluated. The methodology is based on monthly heat demand profiles while distinguishing between three typological groups of buildings and optimizing the set and installed capacity of heating technologies for each of these groups. Our assessment shows that the resulting optimal heat supply portfolio is influenced both by the factors involved in the optimization and the types of buildings. I.

“…Recently, as far as Hungary is concerned, several international and national studies have dealt with the expected trends [18,19], potential estimates [20][21][22], energy policy issues [23][24][25], and with research on population attitudes [26][27][28]. These literature sources also highlight some of the challenges in this field and the fact that local levels (municipalities, micro-regions) and credible Renewable energy sources play a central role in the construction of low-carbon energy systems, but little is known about the structural factors and practical issues that shape national renewable energy policies and energy transition processes [10,11].…”

Can Energy Be a “Local Product” Again? Hungarian Case Study

The energy sector is undergoing radical changes, and this transition is expected to accelerate all over the world over the coming years. In our recent research, we conducted a questionnaire survey at different levels and asked the experts in the area, the businesses involved in the issue, the operators and maintainers of existing systems, as well as the potential consumers and end users, about their knowledge and intentions related to renewable energy sources. Our empirical research can be divided into three parts. Our exploratory research was based on expert interviews, which show that the growing importance of localization is unquestionable, but the economic, social, and existing infrastructures impose significant barriers to the widespread adoption of certain technologies. Regarding the population survey, we see that the skepticism experienced in previous years has been replaced by a kind of expectation reflecting openness. In addition, it can be stated that in many cases technological development is faster than the possibility of its adaptation. Our gender tests significantly support men’s better knowledge of the subject and the fact that biomass (despite its major importance) is not one of the most known renewable energy sources.
