SYSTEMIC SOCIO-ECONOMIC ESSENCE OF SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION OF ENERGY
Abstract
The purpose of the article is the analysis of the systemic essence of sustainable transportation of the energy system, based on the mass implementation of renewable energy sources and efficient energy storage systems. At the same level as the analysis of the transformation processes of energy assets, the accompanying components of the specified transformation process are revealed and analyzed: transition to horizontal distributed energy networks, development of social and solidarity economy, dematerialization and sustainable transportation of economic systems, convergence and miniaturization of assets, electrification of transport, hydrogen vehicle implementation of energy systems, cyberization control over the work of systems, systematization of public institutions. Analyzing the conducted research, the authors draw important conclusions. The energy sector, in which 2/3 of the processes of harmful impact on the environment are generated, is a key area of solving the problems of sustainable transportation of the economy. Sustainable transportation of the energy complex is possible only if adequate transformations of the socio-economic system are carried out. The specified transformations mutually condition each other and can significantly strengthen the sustainable potential of restructuring the energy complex, achieving a general synergistic effect. The transition to renewable energy systems requires constant innovation. Today, technological solutions of the near future should be actively developed in the scientific sector. The full potential of the mentioned energy transition can be realized only under the condition of appropriate institutional support and active international cooperation.
