Развитие возобновляемой энергетики в России: анализ экономических и неэкономических факторов

Аннотация

Using data from 26 developed and developing countries, including Russia, that are sustainably established or just starting to enter the Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index (RECAI) and have significant proven reserves of crude oil, natural gas and coal. We have obtained results showing that high levels of corruption and large hydrocarbon reserves are not a significant barrier to the successful development of RE. The three hypotheses we set at the beginning of the study were confirmed: 1. The greatest importance for the sustainable growth of RE is undoubtedly played by investment; 2. The number of patents has no significant influence on RE generation due to technology transfer through contractual relationship between multinational companies (MNC) and local industries, as well as through copying and borrowing technologies; 3. The level of corruption has a negative and weak impact on RE development in our sample of countries. The hypothesis of a high level of significance and influence of the Human Capital Index (HCI) on RE development was not confirmed. The second part of the practical work is based on a small case study showing that international energy companies are setting the trend for the transition of manufacturing companies to zero emissions and already have a strong positive impact on the development of renewable energy in the world and in Russia. The uniqueness of the work lies not only in the singularity of the sample and the freshness of the data, but also in the comparative analysis of international and Russian practices used to develop RE in all parts of the work. The findings are useful for all stakeholder groups, especially for the development and implementation of state projects related not only to RE, but also to the energy sector as a whole.
