ENERGETIC EFFICIENCY AS ONE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION'S ENERGY POLICY OBJECTIVES

Summary/Abstract: The goals of the European Union's energy policy are the development of the internal energy market, achieving security of energy supply and sustainable development, promotion of efficient energy use, use of renewable energy sources, development of trans-European networks and directing relations with third countries. Given that life today cannot be imagined without the use of energy, the questions that are asked are the following: 1) whether by increasing energy efficiency, or using energy in a way to achieve the highest possible energy consumption with the lowest possible energy consumption and thus reduce the negative effect energy cycle can have the same effect? 2) Is it possible to achieve an adequate level of energy supply by using renewable energy sources, ie natural potential? All this starting from the fact that ¾ of all reserves of fossil fuels must never be used up (which means that they have almost no value), that the energy crisis is an increasingly present problem in the whole world, and that fossil fuels are characterized by one key feature, ie they are non-renewable. It is considered that an energy source is renewable if it can reappear in nature during the duration of an average human life, which is not the case with e.g. coal that can be renewed in nature after a million or even a billion years and therefore we say that fossil fuels have the property of non-renewability.
