Low-carbon hydrogen is a promising option for energy security and decarbonization. Cooperation is needed to ensure the widespread use of low-carbon energy. Cooperation among hydrogen supply chain (HSC) agents is essential to overcome the high costs, the lack of infrastructure that needs heavy...

Renewable sources are becoming more critical in light of global warming and the recent energy crisis. As a renewable energy source, biofuels may play an essential role in this process, especially in the transport sector. Advanced biofuels provide a great opportunity, as their potential...

A dekarbonizáció egyik fontos területe a fűtési szektor, azon belül is a távfűtés karbonmentes termelésre való átállítása. Kutatásunkban arra keressük a választ, hogy Magyarországon, kisvárosi környezetben megvalósuló, megújuló energiára épülő távhőszolgáltatási...

There is no unified global or European definition for the term energy poverty. It has different meanings depending on place and context of using it. However, the EU Member States have the obligation to assess the number of households in energy poverty due to the Regulation on the governance of...

Hosszú ideig a gáz számított annak az energiahordozónak, amelyre Magyarország különösen érzékeny volt az energiaellátás-biztonság szempontjából. Ennek következtében a gázdiverzifikáció kulcsfontosságú kérdés lett. Az új atomerőműblokkok (Paks II.) megépítéséről...

Despite the fact that there are tens of thousands of thermal baths in existence, knowledge about the occurrence of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in untreated thermal wastewater is very limited. Because used thermal water is typically legally discharged into surface waters without any...

We investigate the impact and the possible consequences of the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. We model the European gas network as a cooperative game between regions as players over the pipeline network. Our model offers several novelties compared to earlier cooperative studies....
