About : The current state and the prospects of the use of renewable energy sources
(RES) in the world, their total and technical potential and felds of application, and their
advantages and disadvantages in coparison with fossil !inds of fuel are considered"
Special attention is given to nonconventional RES" The reasons why Russia is lagging
behind in the use of these sources are analy#ed"

Sources ,orldwide and in Russia by !" E" -orto& and '" S" #o+el
Resorting to renewable energy sources (RESs) as one of the bases of the proising world
energy
industry has becoe a logical result of the historical developent and the recognition
that is necessary to diversify priary energy sources being used, with the ai of
enhancing both energy and ecological security of countries, regions, and concrete energy
consuers" The review of the developent of new technologies used for conversion of
RESs, the progress of which can be characteri#ed by the fact that by the year $%&' the
total generating capacity of RES(based power plants now in operation has aounted to
)%% *+,by a factor of &") ore than the total generating capacity of all nuclear power
stations in the world" The paper presents an analysis of the current status of RESs and
probles that restrain their developent in Russia" -t is noted that the peculiarities of the
energy situation in Russia ipose the specifc re.uireents upon drawing up the
progras of the developent of RESs" Along with the use of RESs as part of systes of
centrali#ed energy supply, which is a priority for ost industrially developed countries
and proises the ost large(scale introduction of RESs in Russia, it is necessary, frst of
all, to give attention to the developent and creation of systes for independent supply
of consuers with power and heat and the developent of distributed power generating
systes using RESs"

the ne0t two decades as another energy cycle draws to an end" 1nli!e 2re#hnev and
*orbachev, 3utin has proven capable of enacting e4ective policy and strategy changes in
the Russian energy sphere" +hile Russia5s dependence on high oil prices continues to
worry 6oscow, 3utin has so far anaged to respond proactively to the other e0ternal
shifts in energy consuption and production patterns 77 particularly those a4ecting the
European natural gas ar!et" 8owever, the long7ter sustainability of the odel Russia

Russia5s anne0ation of 9riea has spar!ed intense political debate about Europe:s
dependence on Russian energy and pushed the issue onto the agenda of several high
level political eetings" The *; group of leading industrialised econoies, including
*er any, <rance, -taly and the 1/, has prioritised iproving energy security and put
the issue on the agenda for the *; energy inisters eeting in Roe At a European
suit in late =une, E1 leaders will continue their tal!s on the closely lin!ed topic of
European $%'% cliate and energy policies,ahead of a fnal decision due in >ctober" The
outcoe of both discussions will have a a?or bearing on Europe:s ability to cut its

About : @espite possessing a very large potential of renewable energy sources, Australia
has lagged behind other developed countries in ebracing renewable energy" Aarious
progras and policies have been devised and ipleented by Australian governents"
Bevertheless, the proportion of renewable energy in electricity generation in Australia
has not increased signifcantly" This paper see!s to e0plain why Australia has diCculties
in adopting renewable energy by using the 3olitical Aspect of -nnovation (3A-) fraewor!
to e0aine the causes and barriers that have bloc!ed the ta!ing up of renewable energy"
The 3A- fraewor! is concerned specifcally with public innovation policy in Australia and
the way it ais to encourage and support investent in new technology developent"
The paper fnally outlines soe future suggestions for charting the progression of the
Australian energy syste toward a transforative
sustainable future

August Schla6+fer
About : The challenges in developing technology for the capture and storage of 9>$ fro
coal, oil and gas power generation, as well as those associated with the storage of
nuclear waste, are widely regarded as solvable" According to proponents of clean coal, oil
and gas technologies, as well as the proponents of nuclear technology, it is only a atter
of tie and resources to fnd a solution to their waste probles" Siilarly, the Australian
*overnent argues that our ain e4orts need to be concentrated on clean coal
technologies, as well as considering the nuclear option" 8owever, when it coes to the
challenges associated with renewable energy technologies, li!e interittency of wind
generated grid power, storage of electricity fro renewable energy and so on, there
sees to be an attitude aongst Australian energy planners that these challenges
represent insurountable technical and fnancial probles, and will, at least in the short
to ediu ter, prevent the fro becoing a viable alternative to coal, oil, gas and
uraniu based energy technologies"
