Towards environmental security via energy efficiency: a case study

Abstract

The article is devoted to the features and problems of the formation of economic mechanism for ensuring environmental safety via energy efficiency in the process sustainable development at the regional level. The focus on environmental risk, which is considered as one of the components of the environmental safety system. In modern conditions, close attention is paid to issues of finding economic mechanism in ensuring environmental safety via energy efficiency; development of directions for implementation of green strategy in the regions and countries. Features of the economic mechanism in ensuring environmental safety and energy efficiency held back in sufficient development of theoretical issues, methodological and regulatory framework. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that sustainable development analysis of the current situation, problem analysis optimization prospects play an important role in improving economic mechanisms for regulating the market for petroleum products, oil and gas industries, economic mechanisms of energy regulation, etc. There is a need, on the one hand, for quantitative assessment the probability of occurrence of processes and phenomena that reduce the quality environment, and on the other hand, quantification of possible damage from their manifestation at the regional level. The aim of the study is to elaborate the economic mechanism for ensuring environmental safety of the region. Authors conduct analysis using observations, reports and comparative official statistics; formulate original insights, which can have policy implications.

Effective Management of Energy Consumption during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of ICT Solutions

“…It seems likely that these countries' pace concerning clean energy moves could be determined by combining factors such as climate change, energy security, and economic growth. When energy security is necessary for energy supply, many countries use energy to ensure national security and enhance their global standing [16][17][18]. Therefore, energy plays an essential role in developing national economies and the global economy's growth.…”

Power Market Formation for Clean Energy Production as the Prerequisite for the Country’s Energy Security

“…The implementation and dissemination of the near-zero emission technologies for the production of electricity in power plants is largely due to their economic efficiency which in this case is determined by the environmental policy pursued by the state, namely, the established standards for the maximum permissible concentration of harmful substances in the atmospheric air and the market mechanisms for emissions trading [22][23][24]. The paper studies the issue of near-zero emission technologies and draws conclusions about the prospects for the application of these technologies in Russia under various scenarios of tightening the norms of the maximum permissible concentration of harmful substances in the air and developing the market for flue gas emission quotas.…”

Testing Environmental Regulations, Green Innovation and Social Distribution as Determinants of Environmental Sustainability: A Case of Asean Region

“…Environmental sustainability is a concept that means to be more conscious towards the environment (Rosen, 2018;van Huis & Oonincx, 2017). In the current era, the majority of developing and developed nations worked on establishing a sustainable environment within their states so that the climate change and global warming based environmental issues can be resolved (Baland, Bardhan, & Bowles, 2018;Tvaronavičienė, & Ślusarczyk, 2019;Eddelani et al, 2019;Moumen et al, 2019;Prasetyo, & Kistanti, 2020;Hernández de Velazco, Ravina Ripoll, & Chumaceiro Hernandez, 2020;Nuryakin, & Maryati, 2020;Igaliyeva, Niyazbekova, Serikova, Kenzhegaliyeva, Mussirov, Zueva, Tyurina, & Maisigova 2020;Mikhaylov, Moiseev, Aleshin, & Burkhardt, 2020;Khan, Maqbool, Haleem, & Khan Mohd, 2020;Issock Issock Paul, Roberts-Lombard, & Mpinganjira, 2020).…”
