Is investing in the development of renewable energy technologies a more effective way of achieving sustainable development as part of the green transformation of the economy, or is promoting energy efficiency and reducing energy demand more effective?

Dear researchers, scientists, friends,

This question concerns the choice between two strategies: investing in the development of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind or geothermal energy, which can provide clean energy in the future, and promoting measures to reduce energy demand by improving energy efficiency in industry and households. For the purposes of this discussion, I have formulated the following research thesis: investing in the development of renewable energy technologies will be more effective as part of the green transformation of the economy. On the other hand, promoting energy efficiency and reducing energy demand will be more effective as part of the green transformation of the economy. Therefore, the development of renewable energy sources is crucial to meet the growing demand for clean energy, but it requires huge investments in infrastructure and can involve challenges related to energy storage. Improving energy efficiency, on the other hand, can bring quick and less costly results, but its impact on long-term emission reduction may be limited without changing the very structure of energy production. Both approaches are important, and their effectiveness may depend on their combination and mutual support.

I have summarised the key issues concerning the green transformation of the economy in the following article:

What is your opinion on this matter?

Please answer,

I invite everyone to join the discussion,

Thank you very much,

Best wishes,

I invite you to scientific cooperation,
