This research aims to inquire about the influence of energy markets on reshaping green recovery by studying the role of energy resource efficiency in energy reforms in China. Data was obtained from 2012 to 2019 to test the findings of this data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique. The study...

This report describes the assumptions, methodology and data used to produce the supply maps of the EU Energy Atlas from the EUROSTAT national energy balances. The results consist of a series of gridded maps of the EU showing an estimation of the supply of the main categories of energy products...

Fuel cells convert the chemical energy of reactants (hydrogen, air) into water and exhaust heat, thus providing clean energy generation for both stationary and transport uses. In transportation, fuel cells are particularly useful for long-haul heavy-duty vehicles thanks to the shorter re-fuel...

Hydrogen energy systems (HES) are increasingly recognized as pivotal in cutting global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, especially in transportation, power generation, and industrial sectors. This paper offers a comprehensive review of HES, emphasizing their diverse applications and economic...

Anthropogenic environmental pollution has become a global concern due to its profound impact on Earth's ecosystems. This study examines the interrelation between energy resources (both renewable and non-renewable), economic growth, and CO2 emissions across G-20 countries, using historical data...

The role of distributed energy resources (DERs) in future power systems is becoming increasingly important due to the ongoing transformation of the electricity sector towards carbon neutrality and higher decentralization. As changes in the demand side continue, such as the adoption of electric...

This article presents the results of the research on energy activities in Romania by highlighting the variants of the mix of energy resources, the mix of production alternatives, and ways of energy consumption. The uneven distribution of resource ownership in EU member states is a comparative...

Management commitment and perception of the need to adapt and adjust hotel operations in the face of the energy crisis on the path of reducing energy consumption under the REPowerEU plan have been little addressed in the literature, although it is a very topical issue. This research fills this...

Sustainable energy is paramount in advancing initiatives about energy conservation and transitioning towards clean, secure, and efficient energy sources. The research objective is to assess the impact of alterations in energy intensity on the socioeconomic development of a country. The study...

I show that the nature of the energy resources available to an economy qualitatively determines long-run growth outcomes. A harvested resource such as biomass drags on growth, a mined resource such as coal enables output per capita to hold constant, and both a tapped resource such as oil and a...

Energy history is an approach to understanding the past that takes changes in the human exploitation of Earth's energies as its object of inquiry. This interdisciplinary field documents and analyzes how humans thought about, harnessed, stored, and exploited stocks and flows of energy. In recent...

Ideally, to reduce energy insecurity, a nation needs to deploy a range of renewable energy (RE) sources. For Central Asian economies, renewable sources appear to be a rational choice; yet, the deployment of renewables is limited and varies substantially by country. Conventional statistics for RE...

Policy changes that encourage non-fossil fuel energy means increased reliance on batteries and other technologies that must develop rapidly. This article focuses on batteries, noting that key inputs come from corrupt countries, so little of the benefits of exports flow to citizens, and many key...

Energy return on investment (EROI) is a biophysical and ecological economics concept that is useful to think about how organisms, ecosystems and societies must obtain enough surplus energy returned from energy gathering activities to live, reproduce, and thrive. EROI can help us overcome the...

Ever-increasing coupling of energy and mobility sectors is under way in our cities. However, whether and how to use such coupling to optimize the portfolio and operations of urban energy assets has rarely been studied. We fill this gap by studying "omni-sharing,'' which is a novel business model...

The deployment of behind-the-meter energy resources is set to increase in the next decade. Yet, utilities are not ready to safely manage these resources owing to the lack of visibility into behind-the-meter installations. To address this problem, we propose an unsupervised method to decompose a...

Uncertainty in the energy sector of Pakistan has contributed to the necessity of effective electricity planning that can minimize given market risks and discourage the use of stand-alone generating costs. To this end, this paper leverages the mean-variance portfolio theory to design an efficient...

Die Wirtschaftspolitik steht angesichts der Schwere der Energiepreiskrise vor großen Herausforderungen. Mit den drei Entlastungspaketen hat die Regierung zwar einige wichtige Impulse gesetzt, eine stringente Linie lässt die Wirtschaftspolitik jedoch vermissen. Sämtliche Maßnahmen sollten...

The continued development of distributed energy resources (DER), information and communications technologies is enabling a greater number of parties to participate in electricity markets. This review explores the various methods that DERs may utilize to participate in electricity markets, the...

Renewable energy (RE) is the key element of sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective electricity generation. An official report by International Energy Agency (IEA) states that the demand on fossil fuel usage to generate electricity has started to decrease since year 2019, along...
