This paper examines how US-China tensions over renewable energy technologies could delay the global energy transition. It highlights geopolitical risks to clean energy deployment.

Meng J, Hu L, Harris J +2

This study reconstructs national installed-cost trajectories for solar PV and onshore wind across over 160 countries, finding that latecomer cost convergence depends on technology architecture. For modular PV, emerging-economy laggards show…

Belay Sitotaw Goshu, Muhammad Ridwan

This study assesses Ethiopia's climate mitigation under the CRGE framework (2010-2023). Renewables (mainly hydropower) and afforestation achieved 34,006 tCO₂ reductions, but GDP growth drove emissions up 196%. Decoupling analysis shows full…

This integrative review examines barriers to net-zero carbon buildings beyond economic and legislative factors, uncovering how stakeholder concerns—such as profit focus, risk aversion, and power dynamics—shape and reinforce these barriers. …

Iacopo Savelli

This study models profit cannibalization among renewables (RES) and battery storage (BESS) in 33 European countries for 2030 and 2040. RES capacity increases by 10% reduce RES profits by 19-23%, while BESS profits drop only 8%. RES growth b…
