The contribution of clean energetics based on energy technology (EnergyTech) to the reduction of production waste and the fight against climate change: Legal regulation issues

Energy technology is high technology in the fuel and energy complex, which are to ensure its sustainable development. Similar to high-tech segments of other sectors of the economy, for example, high-tech finance (FinTech), high-tech education (EdTech), and high-tech medicine (MedTech), it is expedient to use the term “EnergyTech” for high-tech energy.

Clean energy powered by EnergyTech is the way to achieving SDG7. The essence, features, and accumulated experience of passing this way in the global economy are studied in sufficient detail from the standpoint of business and economy, society, and environmental protection. At the same time, clean energy based on EnergyTech remains poorly studied from the standpoint of legal regulation, although it plays an important role in its development since it forms the necessary institutional framework for this. The existing literature (Wei et al., 2019; Qu et al., 2021; Solgi et al., 2022) dwells on the technologies of clean energetics based on EnergyTech. These technologies are widely known and accessible, but the level of high technology does not explain the essence and regularities of the transition to clean energetics based on EnergyTech.
