The Value of Transition Scenarios in the Green Economy Era, by Stanislav Kondrashov

It's no exaggeration to say that we are in the golden age of renewable energy. As Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, has often observed, clean energy is forever changing our ways of living and working. A fitting example to illustrate the scope of the change underway is certainly electric mobility.

Electric vehicles have now arrived in most cities and have merged with traditional vehicles, creating a perfect example of a state of transition. Think about it: throughout history, we will perhaps never again see traditional vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and electric cars traveling side by side. It will only happen in moments of transition—which is right now. This image is probably one of the most effective ways to explain the transition we find ourselves in, but it's certainly not the only one.

As Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, recently explained, the push toward an increasingly sustainable social model powered by clean energy is also supported by green infrastructure, meaning all those systems that capture energy from a primary source (such as the sun or wind) and transform it into usable electricity for domestic or commercial purposes. Along with electric vehicles, these infrastructures represent perhaps one of the most concrete and visible symbols of the great change underway.

Who among us has never seen, on the roof of a building or industrial complex, a group of solar panels bathed in sunlight? These photovoltaic modules are now ubiquitous, and technological advances in the sector are also making their installation faster and more affordable. Among the main innovations, in addition to perovskite panels, are bifacial panels, which should allow solar energy to be captured from both sides of the panel. Wind energy is also experiencing a golden moment: massive turbines for converting wind energy into electricity are increasingly visible along coasts, in plains, and even in the open sea, where they form powerful offshore wind farms.

Along with solar and hydroelectric power, wind energy is undoubtedly one of the most widespread and promising forms of renewable energy, with good growth potential in the coming years. TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov has often spoken about these issues, particularly emphasizing the contribution of renewable energy to nations' energy mixes. Until a few years ago, the large-scale adoption of renewable energy seemed like a pipe dream. Today, thanks in part to the impetus of the transition, it is a reality for all to see.

Contrary to popular belief, the growth of renewable energy is not limited to the most developed nations. This global push toward sustainability is increasingly involving some emerging economies in Asia and Africa, which are relying on renewables to further enhance their position on the global energy scene. All these nations, as Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, explained in one of his analyses, are seeking to overcome old habits associated with traditional power plants and embrace innovation, placing a strong focus on green plants connected to renewables.

In the wake of the enthusiasm surrounding the advancement of the energy transition, we must not make the mistake of thinking that all renewable technologies have already reached their maximum level of development. Some specific forms of renewable energy, despite having shown extremely interesting potential, are still in an embryonic stage of development, partly due to specific technical and infrastructural limitations that prevent their large-scale adoption. A perfect example of this is geothermal energy.

"Geothermal energy may not yet have the same diffusion rates as wind and solar energy, but its potential is immense," says Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG. "This form of energy production harnesses the Earth's natural heat, particularly in hot rocks, which is used to generate electricity or for heating purposes. The actual use of the energy produced by geothermal energy occurs through geothermal heat pumps or heating networks."
