Abstract: | Throughout the history of mankind, energy security has been always seen as a means of protection from
disruptions of essential energy systems. The idea of protection from disorders emerged from the process of securing political
and military control over energy resources to set up policies and measures on managing risks that affect all elements of
energy systems. The various systems placed in a place to achieve energy security are the driving force towards the energy
innovations or emerging trends in the energy sector.
Our paper discusses energy security status and innovations in the energy sector in European Union (EU). We analyze the
recent up-to-date developments of the energy policy and exploitation of energy sources, as well as scrutinize the channels of
energy streaming to the EU countries and the risks associated with this energy import. Moreover, we argue that the shift to
the low-carbon production of energy and the massive deployment of renewable energy sources (RES) might become the key
issue in ensuring the energy security and independency of the EU from its external energy supplies. Both RES, distributed
energy resources (DER) and “green energy” that will be based on the energy efficiency and the shift to the alternative energy
supply might change the energy security status quo for the EU. |
