Renewable resources? share in meeting the power balance in Romania grew constantly during the past decade. Therefore, the contribution of polluting energy sources (such as coal or oil) has progressively reduced. Moreover, to enable environmental impact mitigation for the still operating classical plants, proper desulphurization equipment were installed. It is remarked that the shares corresponding to hydro-energy and nuclear energy show an almost constant trend.
Sensible investments were made in the energy sector, particularly to develop not only wind farms and photovoltaic plants, but also to implement facilities based on biofuels. At European level, these actions follow the targets of European Union?s energy policy, falling within the 2015 Framework Strategy for Energy Union. The main objectives pursue providing ?secure, sustainable, competitive, affordable? energy, managing the energy resources. First, this paper aims to evaluate the impact of such changes in the energy sector, starting with 2014, focusing on the Romanian case. Second, it centers on investigating the correlation between the national amount of CO2 emissions and the events which have determined a decline in the RES share in energy production. To highlight the different evolution at a national level, a comparison to other representative European countries (Germany ? having a distribution by sources similar to Romania, France ? relying mainly on nuclear energy and Czech Republic ? showing a decreasing renewable energy employment trend) is presented. To underline the correlation between renewable energy employment and climate evolution, the fluctuations triggered in the annual use of hydro or wind sources are cross-referenced with meteorological data. A temperature increase between 4% and 22% is noticed in all the countries taken into account, while the precipitation level doesn?t follow a monotonic trend. |
