Financial institutions around the world have announced halts to financing of coal-fired power plants (CFPPs). Non-profit and non-governmental organisations have financing, developed databases and reports that provide information on financial data and CFPP projects, as well as the quality of the...

This study examines the underlying concerns of global warming in the context of a small island developing states and the ensuing action of phasing out coal to keep global temperature rise below 1.5 °C, as stipulated by the Paris Agreement. Coal is amongst the most carbon intensive fuel,...

Cutting the global economy's dependence on coal has always been seen as one of the most effective measures to reduce carbon emissions and ensure environmental sustainability. However, the demand for coal can vary greatly from country to country. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is...

The study aims to assess the alternatives to the diversification of energy carriers in the ASEAN member countries in the context of minimizing the risks associated with the creation of an energy portfolio. The indicator of the diversification of the energy carriers of the country based on the...

Sustainable strategies like Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) have become an essential requirement for the energy sector to be practiced across their business activities. Many studies addressed CSR-related strategies but did not examine their critical success factors (CSFs) on regional...

The linking of different jurisdictions or markets via electrical interconnection is a long established means of offering enhanced security of supply to the wider electrical system. In recent years, new incentives around exploiting market price differentials and facilitating the growth of...

Energy scenarios should ideally account for societal feasibility and hence they could be informed by surveys on citizens’ preferences. This study surveyed consensus among citizens of France (N = 202), Germany (N = 199), and Poland (N = 200) on their national and EU electricity supply for 2035,...

To reach climate targets, future energy systems must rely heavily on variable renewable energy sources (VRES) such as wind and photovoltaic (PV). As the share of VRES increases, the topics of flexibility and the smart interplay of different flexibility options grow in importance. One way to...

Energy system models are increasingly used to identify climate change mitigation measures. Crucially, such models require future cost estimates, which depend on both technological advancement and investments. In global models, which encompass the whole world, this can be implemented via learning...
