Electricity is very important for daily living and plays a major role in national development in Thailand with around 20.5% proportion in national final energy consumption, mainly from burning fossil fuels which have a direct effect to the greenhouse gas emission level of the country. Hence, the...

This paper investigates the effects of electricity consumption and generation on carbon emissions in 25 African countries for the 1980-2016 period. Specifically, it examines the effects of diverse electricity sources (e.g. hydro, oil, natural gas, coal) and renewable electricity output on carbon...

The development of clean and sustainable energy around the world has become a necessity as a result of the negative effect energy generated from fossil fuel have on the environment. Ghana intends to add nuclear power to its generation mix by 2029. This paper uses the SWOT analysis tool to assess...

With buildings accounting for high electrical demand and GHG emissions in Japan, enabling higher penetration of hybrid renewable energy systems can significantly reduce their load demand. This paper proposes an efficient power control scheme and design for a hybrid renewable standalone system...

There is an ongoing debate on how oil prices affect the stock prices of clean energy companies. We contribute to this debate by questioning the possibility of asymmetric linkages between oil prices, interest rates, and the stock prices of clean energy and technology firms. Using a recently...

Power in wind turbines are traditionally controlled by varying the pitch angle at high wind speeds in region 3 of the wind turbine operation. The pitch angles controllers are normally driven by electrical or hydraulic actuators. The motivation of this research is to design and implement a pitch...

Energy accessibility especially electrical energy is considered as one of the most appealing factors to achieve energy sustainability. The purpose of this study is to investigate energy sustainability using renewable energies for two high potential cities in the south-east of Iran until the year...

This paper reviews and discusses the potential of papaya seed and stone fruit kernel biodiesels - the two sources of 2nd generation transport biodiesels in Australia. The challenges associated with biodiesel production and their possible solutions, particularly on feedstock selection, oil...

This paper estimates the impact of renewable energy on economic growth in West African countries using panel dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) by employing a sample of 15 West African countries covering the 1995-2014 period. The results indicated that renewable energy consumption slows down...

This paper investigates the impacts of non-renewable consumption (NRE) and renewable energy consumption (RE) on industrial production (IP) in the US using monthly data from 2000:01 to 2018:02. To do so, the paper employs the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) approach to examine...
