Mechanisms of global changes on energy markets are reviewed. The main mechanisms are decarbonization of energy recourses and valorization of energy products. The decarbonization covers modest increases of energy-efficiency in industries and households along with fast substitution of fossil energy resources for renewable ones. This evolves despite availability of energy resources and fluctuating real prices of fossil energy. The valorization evolves when the higher costs of energy resources are outweighed by even higher value of energy products as perceived and purchased by customers. The valorization on energy markets is expressed as electrification, entry of variable renewable energy technologies and distributed energy systems for local energy production and consumption. Regarding these mechanisms on energy markets there is reason for optimism about progress toward sustainable development.

能源市场:向脱碳和增值迈进
审查了全球能源市场变化的机制。主要机制是能源的脱碳和能源产品的增值。脱碳涵盖了工业和家庭能源效率的适度提高,以及化石能源资源快速替代可再生能源的趋势。尽管有可用的能源并且化石能源的实际价格波动,但这种情况仍在发展。当客户认为并购买了更高价值的能源产品而抵消了更高的能源成本时,定价就会演变。能源市场的价格表现为电气化,可变可再生能源技术的进入以及用于本地能源生产和消费的分布式能源系统。
