| Abstract [eng] |
Today global warming is a worldwide problem that requires global solutions and the main cause of this problem is inefficient usage and making of energy. Sustainable energy means solving all social, economical and environmental problems in ways that support human development over the long term. Current energy system deals with many aspects of unsustainability and energy efficiency and intensity, increasing the share of renewable energy in the energy balance, researches and development of new technologies, energy pricing, reducing Carbon Dioxide emissions, cleaner fuels, subsidization and internalization of externalities and market opening are the main targets of sustainable energy development. Even though all three Baltic States have implemented similar policies and measures helping to reduce GHG emissions but the results are different. And this is mainly because of differences between those three countries: in size, primary energy mix, and in final energy consumption. The object of this work is support mechanisms for climate change mitigation. The main aim is to evaluate the preferences of the potential energy consumers by choosing instruments for the promotion of green energy and by choosing the way energy power is being produced. Research lasted 30 days, from the 3 of April till the 2nd of May. 330 people were questioned in supermarkets: “Mega”, “Savas” and “Akropolis”. There are slightly more respondents who would rather use atomic energy than energy produced by using renewable energy sources. Respondents who chose atomic energy also chose a grant of 20 % and a support from EU Structural funds (30 %) as mechanisms for climate change mitigation. The structure of graduation dissertation consists of 76 pages, 8 charts and 19 pictures. |
