Examining the Progress of Hungary in Green and Sustainable Energy; pp 207 -209
Abstract
The state of renewable energy is one of the most topical issues that affect almost everyone indirectly. In the 21st century, humanity is returning to greater use of natural and sustainable energy sources. One of the critical questions is the level of access to and use of environmental elements and natural resources, including soil, water, air quality, and energy. Therefore, the success of energy use in a country with such natural resources as Hungary depends on its ability to replace the traditional economic model based on energy resources with an alternative economic model based on environmental elements. The circular economy and sustainability aspects are also crucial for future generations. These include energy efficiency, environmental awareness and greater use of renewable energy sources. Suppose these critical areas are integrated as a typical cross-section. In this regard, it is clear that, when integrated into a coherent economic model, they provide clear answers to questions such as how we will deal with global climate change, sustainable growth, the global energy crisis and changes in fossil fuel prices. In this study, we present the changes in the use of renewable energies in Hungary, focusing on the current solar energy and biomass situation. We also aimed to examine the renewable energy aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals, which are particularly relevant for the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development.
The study’s preliminary results show that the share of energy produced from renewable energy sources in gross final energy consumption in Hungary increased significantly from 4.4% to 11.9% from 2005- 2020. Within this share, the use of solar energy was 0.3% in 2012, rising to 44.5% in 2020. In contrast, biomass has decreased from 50.4% to 30.1% over the same period, raising several further research questions.
