Renewable energy and economy

Abstract

Obnovljivi izvori energije su izvori energije koji imaju sposobnost da se samostalno obnavljaju, te se njihova raspoloživa količina ne smanjuje korištenjem. U zadnjih dvadesetak godina korištenje obnovljivih izvora energije je naglo poraslo i postalo sve bitnije. Republika Hrvatska ima mnoge prirodne i tehnološke kapacitete za iskorištavanje obnovljive energije. U zadnjih nekoliko godina ljudi su postali puno svjesniji potrebe prelaska na OIE te svih prednosti koje isti donose. Radi svega navedenoga Republika Hrvatska naporno radi da još bolje informira svoje građane, daje novčane poticaje za korištenje i proizvodnju energije iz OIE te pokreće razne projekte vezane za OIE.Renewable energy sources are energy sources which have the ability to self-renew without the reduction of their available quantity by the use. In the last twenty years, the use of renewable energy sources has increased immensely and it has become increasingly important. The Republic of Croatia has many natural and technological capacities to exploit renewable energy. In the last few years people have become much more aware of the need to switch to renewable energy and all the benefits that it yields. Because of all the above, the Republic of Croatia is working hard to better inform their citizens, gives financial incentives for the use and production of energy from renewable sources and runs various projects related to renewable energy
