Energy resources play a crucial role in the development of mankind. Need for energy is increasing annually due to growth in the number of people, numerous industrial, food, agricultural, medical, biotechnology and other branches of human activity. The growing depletion of non-renewable natural energy resources already represents a real threat to human livelihoods and sustainable development for future generations. Currently, new developments and research in the field of obtaining effective renewable energy resources are maintained at low levels because of poor funding and the apparent fragmentation of interests in society.According to researchers, if the energy production increases with the same rate, then all forms of currently used fuel will be exhausted in the first half of the XXII century, in 130 years later.Ensure of environmental, biological, industrial and residential security requires the development and wide application of special laws, standards and specifi cations for objective monitoring of the degree of danger of natural gas for the population, environment and biological diversity.According to the data provided by the Energy Institute of the ASM, currently 44% of the energy balance of Moldova is provided by natural gas, 17% by diesel fuel, 11% by electricity, 10% by gasoline, 7% by coal. The share of local energy resources in the overall balance declined from 4.56% in 2008 to 4, 49% in 2010. Thus, it should be just the opposite. According to the Energy Strategy of the Republic of Moldova until 2020 and the Law on Renewable Energy of 12.07.2007, in 2010 the consumption of energy produced within the country should reach 6% in 2020 - 20%. Of these, 70% - energy from biomass, 14% - hydro, solar heat - 10%, wind - 1.5%, solar PV - 0.1%, other types of energy - 4.4%.
