Annotation:
We are currently witnessing the beginning of the fourth energy transition, which envisages the widespread use of renewable energy sources and the displacement of fossil fuels. At this stage, unlike the previous three ones, the main driver is not so much the economic attractiveness of new energy sources, but a qualitatively new factor – decarbonization and the fight against global climate change. The countries that are members of the Eurasian Economic Union, following global trends, implement technological and economic solutions, as a result of which over the past 30 years, the consumption of coal and fuel oil has significantly decreased, and total carbon dioxide emissions have decreased by 28 %.
