THE CONTINUATION OF THE EXTRACTION OF USEFUL MINERAL SUBSTANCES IN THE CURRENT GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Abstract
In the last decade, at the global level, most countries have emphasized the reduction of energy consumption produced with the help of solid fuels, trying to reduce the volume of greenhouse gases and polluting gases by identifying new sources and methods of energy production that have a low effect on the environment and people. Romania is preparing to ensure energy security by producing electricity from renewable sources. Romania's medium- and long-term strategy will be influenced by the European Green Pact, which has ambitious targets for the next period for reducing carbon emissions for each member state. These objectives may also include the recent turbulence in the energy markets in Europe as well as the effects of the conflict in Ukraine. If at the beginning of the implementation of the objectives to reduce the exploitation of useful mineral substances, the geopolitical situation of the world was stable and there were interconnections between the energy-producing states, in 2024 we were faced with a radical change in the global geopolitical context, a change that would require a rethinking of the strategy management of useful mineral resources. The paper presents an analysis, in a global context, of the situation in Romania regarding the production of electricity from solid fuels.
