Decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation is an important challenge facing developing countries. Therefore, increasing the participation of renewable energy in their final primary energy consumption might be a good alternative for them to achieve simultaneously environmental...

In this article we investigate the role of “Renewable Energy Consumption” in the context of Circular Economy. We use data from the World Bank for 193 countries in the period 2011-2020. We perform several econometric techniques i.e., Panel Data with Fixed Effects, Panel Data with Random...

Using electricity for heating can contribute to decarbonization and provide flexibility to integrate variable renewable energy. We analyze the case of electric storage heaters in German 2030 scenarios with an open-source electricity sector model. Making customary night-time storage heaters...

Iran as an energy-rich country faces many challenges in optimal utilization of its vast resources. High population and economic growth, generous subsidies program, and poor resource management have contributed to rapidly growing energy consumption and high energy intensity for the past decades....

The most important energy source for energy importing countries is renewable energy source. Difference of this study from other studies is to investigate the relationship between renewable energy use and economic growth for energy importing countries that increased their renewable energy use by...

Growth in energy demand together with the expansion of variable renewables has significant implications for the future electricity system. The increased volatility from growing intermittent production requires new sources of flexibility at a much greater scale to help maintain system balance. In...
