Prospects for the development of alternative energy sources in the world energy

Abstract

The article is devoted to the prospects for the development of alternative energy sources in the world energy. For this purpose, the article analyzes the modern generation structure in the developed EU countries. Based on this analysis, it was revealed that the share of renewable energy sources together with hydroelectric power plants is comparable to traditional sources of generation. In addition, the study outlines a trend in the development of the world energy sector, which is characterized by an increase in the use of alternative energy sources and a decrease in the use of hydrocarbon fuels. The paper considers the advantages of the development of alternative energy sources and the difficulties associated with their implementation.
