Pakistan had been mired in a crippling energy crisis for several years but is experiencing a rapid turnaround in the energy sector with several new projects coming online. However, the interventions undertaken by the government rely heavily on imported fuel such as oil, coal, and LNG. An...

Ethiopia’s energy sector faces critical challenges to meeting steadily increasing demand given limited infrastructure, heavy reliance on hydroelectric power, and underdevelopment of alternative energy resources. The main aim of this paper is to investigate an optimal least cost investment...

Mining activities are energy-intensive and rely largely on fossil fuels to meet their energy demands. This exposes the mining sector to potential policy and regulatory risks, stemming from government efforts to shift the global economy to a low-emission development pathway, as envisaged by the...

Zimbabwe is currently struggling with a persistent energy crisis that has been exacerbated by a drawn out economic meltdown. Unplanned electricity outages and scarcity of petroleum products are now the order of the day. Electricity shortages have been a perennial challenge for the whole region...

Mexico's low-carbon technology perspectives show lack of coherence with the rising ambition in climate change commitments, for which Mexico is internationally praised. The comparison of two recent energy reforms, corresponding to two administrations, explains this lack of coherence by, on the...

Emission-free hydrogen (H2) is crucial to decarbonize energy supply and to tackle the climate crisis. To unlock the potential of H2, pipelines infrastructures and related investments are required to enable trade. However, it is uncertain what future H2 infrastructure will be needed. The paper...

The impetus of this research study is to analyse the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on sustainable development (SD) in the offshore wind farms as a form of renewable energy power generation in the UK; it will be particularly focused on the London Array Project in the outer Thames...

The study evaluates links between the unfolding energy transition in Latin America and the Caribbean and sustainable development goals (SDGs) relating to innovation (SDG 9), equality (SDG 10), and institutions (SDG 16). The study argues that if energy technology choices in the region continue to...
