ODRŽIVI RAZVOJ KAO FAKTOR ENERGETSKE ZAVISNOSTI EVROPSKE UNIJE. (Bosnian)

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AS A FACTOR IN THE ENERGY DEPENDENCY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION. (English)

The main thesis of the author starts with the fact that the Sustainable Development Strategy of the European Union is one of the major long-term reducing instrument of energy dependency of the European Union. This paper gives an overview of the total energy consumption and production in the EU and its energy dependence on imports, mainly oil and gas. In order to meet the needs of sustainable development, the EU aims to cut consumption of crude oil, natural gas and solid fuels, and also to encourage the production and consumption of renewable energy, which would reduce the import of fossil fuels and contribute to energy efficiency. Despite numerous measures in order to achieve sustainable development, crude oil and natural gas remain the most important fuels in the EU, while its total energy dependency has increased over the past ten years.

Osnovna teza od koje autor polazi u radu jeste da je Strategija održivog razvoja Evropske unije jedan od osnovnih dugoročnih instrumenata smanjenja energetske zavisnosti Evropske unije. U radu se daje prikaz ukupne potrošnje i proizvodnje energenata u Evropskoj uniji i njene energetske zavisnosti od uvoza prevashodno nafte i gasa. U želji da izađe u susret potrebama održivog razvoja, Evropska unija teži da smanji potrošnju sirove nafte, prirodnog gasa i čvrstih goriva, a da ujedno pospeši proizvodnju i potrošnju obnovljive energije, što bi dugoročno posmatrano doprinelo smanjenju uvoza fosilnih goriva i povećanju energetske efikasnosti. Uprkos brojnim merama u cilju ostvarenja održivog razvoja, sirova nafta i prirodni gas ostaju najznačajniji energenti u Evropskoj uniji, dok se njena ukupna energetska zavisnost povećala u proteklih deset godina.
