IMPLEMENTATION OF CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The article presents the concept of sustainable development and its evolution over time. The authors analyse possibilities for promotion of clean technologies within the context of sustainable development. There are presented and analysed advantages of sustainable development and of utilisation of clean technologies for achieving the targets linked with climate changes. The authors have presented and analysed a case study regarding utilisation of a clean technology in an industrial sector. The case study is referring to modification of a furnace through introduction of a heat recovery unit from flue gasses for pre-heating of combustion air. The results of the complex energy, economic and environment analysis show that utilisation of this solution leads to energy and financial savings and to reduction of the environment impact. In conclusion there is shown the importance of the sustainable development and the implications of clean technologies in the energy sector.
