The negative effects of energy consumption and pollution have restrained Chinese economy from further rapid sustainable growth. Examining their relationship with economic growth can lay a solid foundation for the decision-making of energy conservation and pollution reduction and ensure the...

The paper considers the current situation in the Slovak energy economy, its development since 1990 and future outlook (primary energy and its structure, final energy consumption, energy intensity etc.) Energy carrier prices, their development since 1990 and expected progress are also considered,...

The present gap between demand and supply of electricity in India may grow up to 70% in the year 2045, if corrective measures are not taken immediately. The projected situation for the growing Indian economy needs to be tackled by measures to reduce demand as well as to explore additional energy...

This paper discusses the energy conservation policy issues in the context of an overall state energy policy, including regulations which came into force under the new Energy Law provisions. As a result of the analysis performed, it was confirmed that in the period of market transformation in...
