Abstract
Abstract Today, there are certain barriers that hinder the transition to a low-carbon economy. In many ways, they are related to the incentives that have developed in the traditional economy aimed at the development of energy-intensive, resource-consuming industries, with the lack of state regulation of the development of environmentally friendly, “green” technologies, with a lack of awareness of business and consumers about the danger of further environmental degradation, as well as about the benefits, associated with the use of “green” technologies. Some experts question whether a full-fledged renewable energy system is possible in temperate countries, primarily because of relatively large heating needs during the cold season. The article provides an analysis of what green alternatives there are to traditional technologies in heating and energy saving. Nowadays it is important to use energy wisely, this can be done through energy savings by investing in more energy efficient products that reduce both energy bills and our environmental impact.
