Abstract

In contemporary political debate and scientific considerations, the dominant view is that green transformation is a remedy for all the problems of the modern world. The standard of living in the world is increasing, but people's awareness of environmental protection is also increasing. In practice, however, it turns out that the introduction of green energy solutions to the market also poses various problems. The purpose of this discussion is to attempt to assess the environmental impact of green energy. The chapter presents issues related to the impact of green energy on environmental protection, both in terms of benefits and problems resulting from the widespread use of green technologies. The literature research suggests that every way of obtaining energy is not entirely environmentally friendly. However, the researchers agree that the benefits of green energy are much greater than the negative consequences, and the latter occurs mainly in the production, installation and disposal of energy devices. Low emissions of harmful gases to the atmosphere and no release of toxic pollutants into water reservoirs place renewable energy sources on the right side of environmental protection.
