In the context of globalization and industrialization, ensuring energy sustainability is a goal, which can be achieved through the intensive use of renewable resources and the most rational exploitation of non-renewable or slowly renewable resources. Moreover, increasing the share of renewable energy sources, from gross final energy consumption, is one of the major compulsory objectives, which has been adopted at international, regional and local level. Given these elements, the purpose of this article is to contribute to scientific research on sustainable developments that can be generated by the activities of exploitation of renewable resources. This article will focus on defining and classifying renewable resources from the perspective of sustainable development of the Dobrogea Region. Moreover, we will carry out a analysis on the developments that have been made in the region, compared to its potential, from an energy point of view. We will refer to several models, successfully applied at international level, which could be reference criteria Romania could consider, both for the sustainable economic development of the Dobrogea Region and for ensuring an energy comfort, at national level, from renewable sources, which will conduce to protect the environment and to limit the excessive exploitation of exhaustible natural resources
