Energy transition focus only on wind and solar can lead to significant problems
Energy Transition 4.0 is traditionally associated with development of solar and wind generation, but such a rather narrow approach can lead to a number of problems, said Irina Ananich, Head of the International Cooperation Department of the Federal State Budgetary Organization Russian Energy Agency (REA) of the Energy Ministry of the Russian Federation, at the round table organised by the Global Energy Association and the Energy Policy magazine.
RES and controlled thermonuclear fusion may become the basis of the global energy balance by the end of the 21st century
