Photovoltaic solar systems are widely used as a renewable energy resource worldwide due to the numerous negative impacts of the conventional-depleted energy resources. In the context of the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates has been a pioneer in regulating renewable energy and setting annual...

The resource curse haunts countries whose economies have become dangerously specialized in the exploitation of a single resource. This curse threatens countries whose economies are poorly diversified and oriented mainly towards the export of their non-renewable natural resources, such as oil....

Solar energy utilization has evolved tremendously in many countries to compete with conventional energy sources due to abundant availability, ongoing module price declines, and efficiency gains. Besides these advantages, most solar power plants continue to underperform due to various technical...

The purpose of the study is to investigate the technical and economic feasibility of hybrid solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT) power systems for environment-friendly electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at five different locations in China. The HOMER Pro 3.14 software using...

High daytime electricity demand from space cooling synergetic with predictable and reliable solar insolation creates a unique opportunity to exploit solar PV-enabled decarbonization solutions in Qatar. This paper examines the economic viability of combining utility-scale PV with ice thermal and...

This paper examines the comparative analysis of photovoltaic (PV) energy policies and data from Spain, Germany, and Brazil, focusing on understanding the factors influencing PV deployment and efficiency in these countries. This study identifies critical policy recommendations to enhance PV...

Environmental pollution and the global scarcity of fossil fuels are becoming worse. The study empirically quantifies the causal link between the rise in new energy vehicle sales and the exemption of vehicle purchase tax on such cars, using a difference-in-differences specification to exploit...

Transport is an integral component of the energy system, and in Sub-Saharan Africa the demand for transport has been increasing due in part to population growth and economic development. To demonstrate the extent of this increased demand, emissions from transport in Africa grew by 84% over 6...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to provide substantial potential for demand response (DR) and, thus, the integration of renewable electricity sources in the future energy system. However, DR can also have noticeable negative consequences, so-called avalanche effects. We systematically...

This study empirically examines the impact of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and clean energy adoption on carbon footprints. With growing concerns over climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the transition to electric vehicles and clean energy sources has gained significant...
