The problem of excessive use of fossil fuels is a serious problem in many countries. The desire to obtain relatively cheap energy by burning mainly coal often wins over the need to maintain a good state of the environment. In recent years, Poland has been catching up with economic development in...

Economic development brings along strong energy demand. Northeast Asia is one of the regions with the most potential for further energy development in the world. Due to the complex geopolitical dilemma, barriers haven't been eliminated in energy trade and investment; therefore, there is more...

One challenge of the EU energy transition is the integration of renewable electricity generation in the distribution system. EU energy law proposes a possible solution by introducing “citizen energy communities” (Directive 2019/944/EU) which may be open for “cross-border participation”....

Energy modelling is critical for addressing challenges such as integrating variable renewable energy and addressing climate impacts. This paper describes the updated code management structure and code updates, the revised community forum and the outreach activities that have built a vibrant...

The East African Community EAC (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan) is still challenged by energy poverty for its socio-economic development. A continuous and fast growing energy demand is expected in this region due to varied factors, such as; high population growth-rate,...

This study is to build a causality model to implement energy security strategies (ESSs) in approaching a world-regions comparison. This study contributes to ESSs by indicating a set of valid attributes and those attributes are interrelationships in nature. There is major global interest in ESSs...

The electrical power and land transportation systems of the Dominican Republic are facing significant challenges due to growing demand in both sectors. These two systems are responsible for around 62% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With the deployment of electric mobility, the power and...

Many existing studies on the digitalization of the energy sector often overlook the intertwined roles of human capital and advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) in driving the transition to renewable energy sources (RES). This paper addresses this gap by quantitatively...

Despite energy communities' (ECs) large potential to contribute to the energy transition, they are still the exception rather than the rule. Thus, the objective of this study is to elaborate on measures to facilitate the diffusion and integration of ECs in the energy landscape. This is done by...

Companies in the manufacturing, service and transport infrastructure sectors will play a key role in the sustainable transition of the energy system implementing innovative technologies at full industrial scale. However, developing long-term investment plans is a challenging task, complicated by...
