This paper proposes a 'minimal methanol backstop' as a liquid fuel for hard-to-electrify sectors like aviation, shipping, and backup power. Using a European energy system model, it finds methanol-based systems increase total system costs by…

Colombo, Esmeralda

The year 2025 marks a critical juncture for global sustainability governance, yet financing gaps and fragmented governance persist. This study extends an integrative framework to renewable energy storage in the EU, evaluating how storage in…

Colombo, Esmeralda

This paper analyzes the procedural evolution of climate litigation in the net-zero era, starting with the Italian Eni Diesel+ case and comparing greenwashing cases across four European sectors (aviation, ESG, energy, products). It highlight…

Colombo, Esmeralda

This paper analyzes regulatory barriers to deploying energy storage within energy communities under EU law, emphasizing storage's role in energy justice. Without a comprehensive EU storage bill, it proposes a three-point agenda leveraging f…

Colombo, Esmeralda

This article proposes recognizing innovation as the EU's 'fifth freedom' and focuses on renewable energy storage, a critical but overlooked component of decarbonization. It identifies structural barriers such as regulatory fragmentation and…
