Abstract

This paper provides overview of all sustainable energy resources in two geographic areas- Central Europe and East Asia. Comparison of renewable energy sources in these two areas was not done before. We cover newly emerging important renewable energy sources of wind power, solar energy and bioenergy together with somehow less investigated geothermal sources. Our analysis includes also a well established hydroelectricity and nuclear energy. While nuclear energy is not a renewable resource, it was included into this analysis to provide complete coverage of all competitive energy sources with respect to carbon-based fossil fuels. We provide both descriptive and econometric analysis complemented with appropriate case studies.
