| Summary: | The coronavirus pandemic not only led to an economic downturn around the world and had a very direct impact on the state of energy markets, but also accelerated the global changes that had accumulated in society for years and decades, and served as a catalyst for global transformations, including the energy transition. The article examines the role of the coronavirus pandemic in accelerating the energy transition, shows its main components, analyzes the driving forces of this process and the main beneficiaries of its implementation. In order to answer the question of whether the energy transition is achievable within the announced time frame, the calculations of the human demand for primary energy in 2050 are carried out. Based on the need to significantly reduce the gap in per capita energy consumption of the population of developed and developing countries, the analysis of the main problems of the energy transition is made. |
