«green» energy, carbon neutrality, developing economies, hydro energy, spatial analysisAbstract
The article is devoted to the development of the alternative energy sector in the BRICS countries. The dynamics of the development of this type of energy as a whole and its components separately were studied. Special attention is paid to the influence of the formation and development of "green" energy on the amount of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The dynamics were calculated both for the BRICS in total and for a number of countries separately. A comparative analysis was carried out, which was based on not only spatial, but also temporal aspects. The reasons (including social ones) that influenced the dynamics of the growth of the share of alternative energy sources in various countries of the alliance have been studied. The topic of a promising transition to carbon neutrality, so popular in the XXI century, is touched upon. As a result of the comparative analysis, conclusions were drawn on the potential cooperation in a given area between the BRICS countries, as well as the prospects of their contribution to the global transition to carbon neutrality.
