The XXI century is deservedly
considered the Age of Alternative Energy. Mineral resources of our
planet are not limitless and our environment simply requires the
so-called, "green" technologies. Alternative energy
production is becoming a priority for many countries, and Ukraine
is not an exception. For instance, according to the information in
the National Report by the State Agency for Energy Efficiency and
Conservation of Ukraine on implementation of public policies on
energy efficiency, the percentage of renewable energy sources in
global consumption is 14%, and in electricity - 19%.
Ukraine cannot yet demonstrate such
impressive results, but currently, at the state level, a series of
measures, that are designed to bring alternative energy market to a
qualitatively new level, are being planned.
