“…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.…”

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.

“…A sustainable approach to the energy sector is necessary if the world is to serve future generations. This is a challenge in relation to the energy transition -from dirty fuels to clean and efficient energy sources such as renewable energy sources (Krawiec 2010;Aceleanu et al 2017;Akar 2016;Spaiser et al 2017;Wu et al 2017).…”

The aim of the research is to assess and discuss the diversity of energy production and consumption in European Union countries. The time scope covers the years 2007 and 2016. The diversity of EU countries was examined using the cluster analysis. The following diagnostic features were adopted for the analysis: energy dependency rate (in %), gross inland consumption of energy per 10,000 inhabitants (toe/10,000 inhabitants), primary production of energy (all products) per 10,000 inhabitants (toe/10,000 inhabitants), primary production of renewable energies per 10,000 inhabitants (toe/10,000 inhabitants), primary production of energy (without renewable energy) per 10,000 inhabitants (toe/10,000 inhabitants). Comparing the included indicators from 2016 to 2007 for all EU countries, an increase was recorded only for the primary production of renewable energies per 10,000 inhabitants,. Based on the cluster analysis, the examined countries were divided into six groups. According to the results of the research carried out, Northern and Eastern European countries are characterized by low energy dependence. However, according to the analysis carried out, this dependence is guaranteed based on various energy sources. The Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Finland) owe their high independence to the production of large amounts of energy from renewable sources. On the other hand, countries such as the Netherlands, Denmark, Estonia and the whole of Eastern Europe are based on primary energy sources such as: coal, oil and gas. Southern 6 Europe countries (Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta) are characterized by high energy dependence, as evidenced by low rates in the area of energy production, both in total and renewable and non-renewable energy production.

“…Moreover, the global community must continue to improve energy efficiency and rational energy management. Therefore, the global community must act in accordance with the principles of sustainable development (Aceleanu et al, 2017;Akar, 2016;Spaiser et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2017). The intention of most energy-related policies is to lead to more efficient or cautious use of resources and more sustainable behavior to benefit the environment (Si et al, 2018).…”

Purpose:The article aims to trace out the interplay of the share of individual energy sources in the total consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from the European Union countries. Approach/Methodology/Design: By taking into account the share of individual energy sources in consumption in 2015, the EU countries were divided into 5 clusters. For each cluster, the values of the indicators for 2005 were determined to assess the changes. Additionally, energy dependence and greenhouse gas emissions factors were included. Findings: During the 2005-2015 period, the consumption of renewable energy increased, while the carbon dioxide emissions felt. It is difficult to say unequivocally whether limiting CO2 emissions through increased renewable energy sources consumption can be considered sufficient. It should also be pointed out that there was no clear link between the increase in the share of renewable energy sources and the decrease in energy dependence in EU countries. Practical Implications: The study directly refer to ongoing political debate on CO2 emissions at both the community and national levels in EU countries. Originality/Value: The study offers the first of its kind examination of the the interplay of the share of individual energy sources in the total consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from the European Union countries.
