Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The scope of this Special Issue is determined by the broadly defined issue of green energy transformation, carried out in accordance with the principles of sustainable economic development and increasing energy security. Increasing energy security can be determined by increasing the mix of energy sources, the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources, the creation and implementation of new green technologies and eco-innovations in the power industry, etc. The purpose of the Special Issue is to explore current new energy technologies and the determinants shaping energy security, and to present new trends, concepts and solutions for the process of effective implementation of the green energy transition. The subject matter of the articles submitted to the Special Issue should concern selected issues of energy security and/or sustainable energy development, green energy transformation, including the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources, eco-innovation and green technologies developed in the energy industry, the analysis of the determinants of the current energy crisis, etc. The issues described in the articles can be proposals for solving and/or reducing the scale of the current energy crisis, efficiently increasing the mix of energy sources and significantly increasing energy security.

The green transformation of the energy industry is an important element of the green transformation of the economy, and therefore largely determines the possibility of building a green economy operating on the basis of the principles of sustainable economic development and a closed loop economy. The issues of the current energy crisis can, through the issues of green energy transformation, be linked to the climate crisis that is also unfolding. The developing climate crisis is also an important determinant of the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources. The issues described in the articles can combine the problem of energy security with climate and environmental security.

The growing importance of climate change and the depletion of natural resources, as well as geopolitical risks associated with the distribution of energy resources, cause an increase in the urgency of ensuring energy security. In modern conditions, the criteria of energy security are the level of production of traditional and renewable energy, the efficiency of energy production, the rationality of its consumption, and the level of pollution arising in the process of the functioning of the energy sector. Different types of regulatory instruments are used internationally to achieve different goals related to energy security. This study involves testing the hypothesis that the effectiveness of energy taxes in ensuring energy security is determined based on the choice of the object of taxation and should be measured via the complex effect of changes in various parameters of energy security. To test this hypothesis, a sample of data from 24 European countries for the period 1994–2020 was formed and energy taxes were grouped into 12 groups (energy taxes on the consumption of different energy sources, energy taxes on fossil fuels, taxes on electricity consumption, taxes to stimulate renewable energy production, contributions to energy funds, etc.). The assessment was carried out with the help of panel regression modeling tools with the installation of a three-year time lag in the model. This method made it possible to determine the short- and medium-term effects of the regulatory influence of certain types of energy taxes. Moreover, the research provides an assessment of the regulatory effectiveness of various types of energy taxes across countries with different initial structures of energy production. The obtained results proved that the comprehensive efficiency of different types of energy taxes is different and depends on the features of the construction of the country’s energy system. In general, complex energy taxes are the most effective method of taxation, while contributions to energy funds are the least effective method of taxation. In the countries with energy systems based on fossil fuels, taxes on mineral oils are the most effective in ensuring of energy security, as well as in the countries with a high initial level of renewable energy use, while complex energy taxes are the most effective in the countries with well-diversified energy systems. This study creates the basis for improving strategies for the use of regulatory instruments of energy transformation in building a clean, secure, and sustainable energy system for the country.
