THE CONCEPTION OF THE USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND THEIR ROLE IN THE ENERGY BALANCE OF UZBEKISTAN

摘要

Prominent international organizations in the energy field, such as the International Energy Agency, the American Society of Electric Engineers, predict wide involvement of renewable sources of energy in the global energy balance already in the nearest future and state that their share in energy balance can reach 40 % in 50 years. In this connection it seems to be reasonable to analyze the present readiness of Uzbekistan for introduction of renewable energy sources. The Kyoto Protocol was ratified by Uzbekistan in 1999 approving the readiness to decrease the emission of greenhouse gases and develop renewable energy. According to Kyoto Protocol Uzbekistan has no quantitative restrictions on the greenhouse gas emissions and can only participate in the activity within the framework of Clean Development Mechanism. Uzbekistan maintains continuous monitoring over greenhouse gas emissions in 21 economic sectors. The data on gas emissions with direct greenhouse effects are presented in the Table 1.
