Amid rising clean-energy demand from the energy transition, securing key minerals is critical. Using fault-tree analysis, this study assesses cobalt supply-failure causes and impacts, identifying it as one of the highest-risk metals for sup…

VASILE POPA, Florin ACHIM

This paper reviews ocean energy's potential, valorization technologies, and contribution to the global energy system. It finds growing corporate and state interest and rising but still marginal global share, with environmental and economic …

This review examines biomass waste-to-energy (BWtE) technologies—anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, and gasification—as components of a circular economy. It argues BWtE can close nutrient loops, produce renewable energy, cut GHG emissions, and…

Tarun Kumar Patel

This chapter examines bioenergy from waste biomass as a response to waste management, energy security, and climate challenges. It analyzes emerging technologies—synthetic biology, nanotechnology, and AI-driven biorefineries—alongside hybrid…

This study evaluates off-grid solar hybrid systems across five regions of Bangladesh using HOMER Pro, comparing fixed-tilt (FT) with three solar tracking configurations. The FT PV-diesel-battery setup proved most sustainable, with the lowes…

Francisca Isioma Echefu

This article reviews how the Russia-Ukraine conflict reshaped global energy supply, security, and climate policy. Supply disruptions triggered market shifts and forced many nations to reassess energy policy. It argues the crisis intensified…

Shobha Kasar, Renuka Salunke

This review synthesizes multidisciplinary evidence on adoption determinants, socio-economic and environmental impacts, policy mechanisms, and social acceptance of clean energy technologies including solar, biomass, wind, hydro, and geotherm…

This study empirically shows that the structure of climate policy portfolios predicts shifts in green innovation. It highlights that combinations of policies, rather than single instruments, shape innovation direction. Released as a replica…

A qualitative institutional case study of local climate governance in Bangladesh, drawing on 30 interviews, six focus groups and document analysis. Administrative, technical, financial and coordination capacities shape implementation effect…

Noam Abadi, Rossana Mastrandrea, Franco Ruzzenenti +1

Using network science, this study analyzes how new energy forms alter the variety of pathways within energy systems across 29 European countries from 1992 to 2021. It finds that the renewable transition initially increases pathway variety, …

Many climate policy assessments assume a 100% substitution ratio, where supply changes in one product equally offset consumption of alternatives. Using a material-balance model of the 1988–1998 U.S. softwood lumber supply shock, the authors…

Reda El Makroum, Catherine Banet, Yee Van Fan +11

This paper examines governance challenges in integrating AI infrastructure (e.g., data centers) into decarbonizing electricity grids. A multi-institution European collaboration (TU Wien, Oxford, Imperial, NTNU) addresses the tension between…

Lanbiao Liu, Zhewei Zhang

Using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces (2005–2022), this paper examines how green credit interest subsidies affect regional green total factor productivity. Difference-in-differences and synthetic control analyses show the policy signif…
