Tiivistelmä
The main goals of the thesis were to analyse the real situation of power sources in Russia and to estimate what was already being used in the country. Another goal was to discuss their efficiency. The thesis includes the whole spectrum of knowledge and research that helps understand the real situation with alternative power sources in Russia, such as, ideas about energy nowadays and in the future, analysis of world energy issues, necessity of using alternative power sources, general information about alternative power sources as well as their impact on the environment, examples of using of alternative power sources in Russia.
The constant growth of tariffs has led to the fact that autonomous energy is developing at a faster rate in the country. Energy consumers are trying to create their own sources of electricity and heat which leads to a decrease in fuel efficiency compared to the combined production of electricity and heat at thermoelectric plants and a decrease in the efficiency of the country's entire energy sector.
The thesis was conducted through detailed research of academic literature and interviewing giants of Russian energy business field. The results of interviews were reviewed and sorted according to their relevancy.
The research showed that the surplus of hydrocarbons deprives Russian enterprises of the incentive to reduce emissions, as they do not receive economic benefits from investing in new renewable energy sources.
