This paper defines the concept of 'renewable energy security' and proposes a multidimensional framework for the global energy transition. It reconsiders traditional energy security debates and offers new indicators and analytical perspectiv…

Yi Luo, Martijn Sander

This study analyzes the impact of energy transition, green innovation, financial inclusion, and circular economy on green growth in G7 countries using CS-ARDL. Long-run coefficients show positive effects of energy transition (0.45) and fina…

This dissertation models six CDR approaches with GCAM-USA for the U.S., finding regional concentration (Texas, Midwest) and DACCS dominance (~50%) in net-zero pathways. Coupling with FaIR and COBRA reveals tradeoffs: High-CDR costs less ($1…

Sid Ahmed Zenagui

This paper theoretically and empirically analyzes how climate policy uncertainty affects green transition and macroeconomic productivity using differential geometry and catastrophe theory. Using panel data from 100 countries (1995-2025) and…

This study uses a system dynamics model to analyze decarbonization of Spanish passenger transport, endogenizing modal shift. Evaluating four scenarios to 2050, it finds that electrification alone is insufficient; demand reduction is crucial…

Kung-Ming Lan, Yen-Pin Wang

This paper proposes a bi-level programming model to evaluate Taiwan's energy transition policies, comparing investments in non-renewable and renewable energy. It analyzes economic and environmental impacts, offering insights for Taiwan's en…

Afsar Bilal, Manal Elhaj, Safia Omer +2

Using ARDL-ECM on Saudi Arabia 1994-2023, this study finds that public expenditure and energy use raise carbon intensity, while renewable electricity and institutional quality reduce it. Economic growth shows relative decoupling. Offers pol…

Ovious Kabinda, Francis Sichilima

This study assesses barriers to solar energy adoption in rural Zambia, finding that PAYG systems improve basic access but productive use is limited. Key barriers include high upfront costs, limited financing, and weak technical support. Sol…
