Green Energy Strategy of Azerbaijan
Abstract
It is a reality that non-renewable energy sources-oil, gas, coal-will eventually run out. On the other hand, the negative impact of the exploitation of traditional energy on the ecological state of our planet is becoming increasingly evident. In this case, the issue of mastering alternative renewable energy sources comes to the fore.
That is why a number of developed countries consider energy security and the development of renewable alternative energy sources as a priority. Wind, solar, wave and hydrological energy of small rivers are considered to be such sources, and their potential is unlimited and inexhaustible.
National priority of Azerbaijan for socio-economic development until 2030 has been determined. One of these priorities, the direction of a clean environment and “green growth” country, has set new tasks. Taking into account the impact of global climate change, the application of environmentally friendly technologies, the use of natural energy sources, waste recycling and the promotion of the restoration of contaminated areas are among the main issues in the focus of the state. Azerbaijan is taking important steps in transitioning to a green energy strategy, demonstrating a deep understanding of global trends and a proactive approach to international challenges.
As the world grapples with climate change, Azerbaijan hosted the UN COP29 event, which aims to address pressing human challenges through innovative initiatives.
This commitment emphasizes leadership of the country in promoting sustainable development and solving global environmental problems. Currently, the republic has significant potential for renewable energy sources, which allows it to use renewable sources along with traditional energy sources.
