This paper proposes an enhanced low-carbon economic dispatch method for grid-connected microgrids, aiming to minimize operational costs while reducing carbon emissions. The approach integrates renewable energy sources and energy storage sys…

Jinyong Sung, Xunpeng Shi, Sven Teske +1

This paper proposes a novel temporal shrinkage framework to identify key drivers of natural gas in China's path to carbon neutrality. The framework accounts for temporal variations to assess importance. Findings provide insights for policym…

Ese Owie

This paper argues that financing African infrastructure is critical for the success of the energy transition. Without adequate funding, the shift to renewable energy will stall, jeopardizing global climate goals.

Farkhod Aminjonov

This paper analyzes Central Asia's strategic shift in energy transition, moving beyond binary choices between fossil fuels and renewables. It advocates for diversified strategies and offers policy options to enhance regional energy security…

Alice Kesminas

This chapter examines how geospatial data and AI can support renewable energy site selection and planning while balancing nature conservation and community values. It warns that poorly implemented tools risk deepening mistrust due to biased…

This paper explores robust policy mixes for clean energy transitions in developing countries, using Mexico as a case study. Using exploratory modeling and machine learning, it finds that combining carbon pricing, subsidies, grid expansion, …

Satu Paiho, Julia Kantorovitch, Kalevi Piira +1

This paper investigates how urban planning can support the energy transition through interviews with five Finnish cities committed to carbon neutrality. It identifies challenges such as unclear roles, unsystematic data collection, and fragm…

André Baumann

This project provides an independent civic dashboard and reproducible data pipeline for tracking Ireland's electricity transition. It harvests public data, validates it, and visualizes annual RES-E progress and demand-pressure scenarios fro…

This study quantifies how aerosol pollution from coal plants reduces solar PV output globally. In 2023, aerosols reduced global PV generation by 5.8% (111 TWh), equivalent to one-third of new PV capacity additions. China suffered the larges…

Mujahed Makki Mohammed Bala

This thesis investigates the architectural transformation of service stations in Wellington to address decarbonization and disaster readiness. It finds existing stations constrained by fossil-fuel logics and proposes the Pātiki Design Frame…

Weijia Liu, Shiquan Dou, Franklin Amuakwa-Mensah

This paper constructs a global index measuring policy intervention in resource nationalism and analyzes its implications for the energy transition. It quantifies changes in resource-related policies across countries and assesses supply risk…

Roncato Tounsi Christophe

This paper discusses the importance of considering material-flow boundaries beyond emissions in California's transport transition scenarios, analyzing resource constraints and supply chain impacts for decarbonization.

Simay Kızılkaya, Sevil Acar, Bengisu Özenç

This study evaluates the economic and environmental impacts of phasing out coal subsidies in Muğla, Türkiye, using input-output analysis. It compares direct removal with three alternative scenarios reallocating funds to green energy, circul…
