Ensuring energy security on the basis of intelligent decarbonisation and innovative economic development

Abstract

The paper focuses on studying the key prerequisites to forming intellectual decarbonisation, taking into account the experience of European countries. Approaches to the definition of intelligent decarbonisation and the main areas of application of intelligent decarbonisation were investigated. The Energy Freedom Index was used to identify clusters of countries by energy security level to determine the prerequisites for intelligent decarbonisation in different countries. Cluster analysis was conducted for the European countries. The ratio of the Energy Freedom Index, Carbon Dioxide Emissions per Unit of GDP, and Total Financing of AI Companies in the selected countries were analysed, which allowed us to determine their potential for the development of intellectual decarbonisation, as well as to identify the most balanced countries in terms of the development of these indicators. The main government programmes of the leading countries in the field of intellectual decarbonisation were analysed to identify effective areas for its development. Strategic priorities for the development of intellectual decarbonisation have been established.
