Summary/Abstract: The biggest energy crisis in modern history began in the second half of 2021, Russia’s invasion in Ukraine further aggravated the situation, as the price of coal, oil and natural gas rose to record levels. After the COVID epidemic, the energy crisis caused severe economic damage, especially to the nearly 140 countries that depend on fossil fuel imports. Many countries responded to high energy prices by diversifying their imports of fossil fuels, increasing production and subsidizing energy consumption. The 2015 Paris Agreement represents a commitment to keep the increase in global warming to a maximum of 2°C, but if possible, below 1.5°C compared to preindustrial levels. Current use of renewable energy is far from what is needed for the world to reach net zero emissions by 2050. In the EU, within the framework of the European Green Deal the circular economy and bioeconomy are a guarantee for meeting the climate goals.
