SOLAR ENERGY IN THE UE – STATE OF THE ART AND DEVELOPMENT TRENDS
Journal Title: Roczniki Naukowe Stowarzyszenia Ekonomistów Rolnictwa i Agrobiznesu - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The structure of acquisition of energy from renewable sources in the EU shows that till now biomass was of the greatest importance, it is generally available and may be used for direct combustion (e.g. wood, straw, sewage sludge), processed into liquid fuels (e.g. rapeseed oil esters, alcohol), or gaseous fuel (e.g. agricultural biogas, biogas from WWTP, dumping site gas). However, its share declined, with wind and solar energy gaining significance. The main reason was not only to subsidize the development of these sectors, but also to lower costs and higher energy efficiency, mainly photovoltaic and solar installations. The purpose of the research was to identify changes and dynamics of development of this energy sector. On the basis of developed models of development tendencies, which were characterized by the ability to explain the described phenomena, projections of renewable energy generation in the EU were presented up to 2030. From the presented research it is expected that by 2030 solar power will become the main supplier of renewable energy.<br/><br/>
