| Title | A comparative analysis of Renewable Energy Potentials and Policies in Denmark and Serbia: What can Serbia learn from Denmark? |
| Summary | Towards reaching low carbon emission goals, European Union (EU) policy makers had focus on renewable energy production and have established targets for the replacement of fossils (Lund, 2008). Energy transition in Denmark presents one of the most noteworthy and well-known examples of effective change from usage of imported fossils to highly growing share of different forms of renewable energy (Mey and Diesendorf 2017). According to International Energy Agency data, Denmark presents one of the world leaders in the renewable energy consumption and aims to be a low carbon society independent of fossil fuels by 2050, and dependent on renewables for more than a half of total energy consumption by 2030. Yet, in Serbia, exploitation of RES for energy production is far under their potentials (Golusin et al, 2010). Having in mind that Serbia has adopted Kyoto protocol and became a part of Energy Community, development of renewable energy sector has become obligatory activity (Golusin et al, 2010). Substantial renewable energy resources that Serbia obtains (Golusin et al, 2010) are making this analysis easily justifiable for identification of challenges and opportunities for implementing the Danish model in Serbian energy sector which faces many barriers to its growth. Focusing on national energy transitions to data collected via a literature review and interviews conducted in Serbia, this thesis is striving to identify important solutions in the field of renewable energy from Danish experience and give specific proposal and suggestions for further development of Serbia in this field. |
