Renewable Energy Targets and Policies in Traditional Oil

In tackling climate change, many countries are gradually shifting away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources (RES) (such as solar, wind, biomass, and hydro) and green technologies (Markard, 2018).This process dubbed a "clean energy transition" and exemplified by, for example, Germany''s Energiewende has been variously described as "a

Azerbaijan Energy Profile

Azerbaijan''s renewable energy development potential is considerable. The country has excellent solar and resources and significant biomass, wind geothermal and hydropower prospects. Practical deployment has been limited, however, considering the scale of available resources and the country''s long- term
