The overall global trend today is towards environmental awareness, and renewable energy is under scrutiny. AVENSTON represents the review of non-traditional RES: lightning energy, cryogenic energy, gravitational energy and mirror mosaic in the Mojave Desert as concentrated-solar technology.

BIPV is a promising new technology in the field of solar industry. More and more solar power plants around the world are used in close association with the architectural design, organically blended into the urban environment.

The electricity market of Ukraine is in a state of important changes preceding in-depth transformations in the application of the “green” tariff for the renewable energy industry in 2020. What is the current state of the renewable energy sector in Ukraine? What contributes, and what hinders the development of industry? Is Ukraine fully prepared for energy transition and decarbonization?

We already know a lot about renewable energy sources, but in recent years the topic of hydrogen has been raised more and more often. What is the role of the light chemical element of the Mendeleev periodic table in the renewable energy generation system? How do hydrogen production processes take place, and what are the global practices for its use?

Why is there so much hope for the use of digital technologies in the energetics? Is this not a new “favorite doll” we are offered to play with by huge IT corporations having almost unlimited global financial capabilities and influence? Why is the RES energy trend associated with the trend of the virtual technologies that cannot be “touched”?

A lively global debate continues in maintaining a balance between fossil fuels and nuclear energy, on the one hand, and renewable sources such as hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal and biomass, on the other.

There is the only one expert opinion at present - we are in for the global electrification of the transition to renewable energy sources and the associated transformation of infrastructure in all areas. Further development of solar power generation will be the most powerful driver of these processes. What are the obvious and hidden factors that will prompt to such changes?

Reducing carbon emissions and limiting global warming this way require an increase in global renewable energy investments. How much does it invest in this sector and how are these finances distributed throughout the world? What are the prospects of investing in renewable energy sources in Ukraine?
