Abstract

Ulaganje u obnovljive izvore energije i povećanje energetske učinkovitosti od iznimnog je značaja u borbi protiv klimatskih promjena i postizanja energetske neovisnosti. Europska unija predvodnik je u donošenju ciljeva za prelazak na niskougljično gospodarstvo, te proizvodnji energije iz obnovljivih izvora. Na razini Europske unije donesene su mnoge direktive vezane uz obnovljive izvore energije i energetsku učinkovitost koje je usvojila i Republika Hrvatska u vlastito zakonodavstvo. Povećanje energetske učinkovitosti u poduzećima jedan je od ciljeva europske energetske politike. Ovim radom će se analizirati ocjena isplativosti ulaganja u projekt. Cilj rada je prikazati politike i propise te njihove prednosti i nedostatke u primjeni u poduzećima koja žele implementirati obnovljive izvore energije i povećati energetsku učinkovitost. Temeljem studije slučaja na konkretnom primjeru u radu će se prikazati ekonomski, financijski, energetski i ekološki aspekti ulaganja. Rezultati dobiveni analizom investicijskog projekta pokazuju kako su troškovi ulaganja u energetsku učinkovitost vrlo visoki, te da su isplativi isključivo uz bespovratna sredstva Europske unije.

Abstract (english)

Investing in renewable energy sources and enhancing energy efficiency plays an incredibly significant role in the battle against climate change and the pursuit of energy self-sufficiency. The European Union stands as a frontrunner in establishing objectives for the transition to a low-carbon economy and the utilization of renewable energy production. The European Union has introduced numerous directives pertaining to renewable energy sources and energy efficiency, all of which have been duly integrated into the legislative framework of the Republic of Croatia. The augmentation of energy efficiency within enterprises constitutes a pivotal objective within the European energy policy. This paper undertakes an examination of the profitability assessment of an investment project. Its primary aim is to elucidate the policies and regulations, along with their respective merits and demerits in their application by enterprises endeavoring to adopt renewable energy sources and elevate energy efficiency. By means of a case study centered around a specific illustration, this paper elucidates the economic, financial, energy, and environmental facets of the investment. The findings derived from the analysis of the investment project demonstrate that the costs associated with enhancing energy efficiency are considerable, and their viability is primarily contingent upon grants provided by the European Union.
