The global energy sector is undergoing a global transformation under the influence of technological breakthroughs in several sectors of production and consumption, as well as profound socioeconomic changes in approaches to energy use. This process became known as "energy transition." In this...

The shift away from fossil fuels needed to reduce CO2 emissions requires the use of renewable carbon and energy sources, including biomass in the bioeconomy. Already today, the bioeconomy has a significant share in the EU economy with traditionally bio-based sectors. For the future, the energy,...

This paper investigates the role of Fibonacci retracements levels, a popular technical analysis indicator, in predicting stock prices of leading U.S. energy companies and energy cryptocurrencies. The study methodology focuses on applying Fibonacci retracements as a system compared with the...

The supplier selection problem (SSP) is a significant issue in renewable supply chain management (RSCM). Selecting a strategic green supplier can not only discover the sustainable development of supply chains but also optimize the consumption rate of resources and decrease the negative...

This study tries to explore empirically the nature of the link among energy consumption, environmental degradation, trade, industrialization, urbanization, and economic growth concerning the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's economy for a time series of data spanning from 1971 to 2019. To investigate...

One challenge of the EU energy transition is the integration of renewable electricity generation in the distribution system. EU energy law proposes a possible solution by introducing “citizen energy communities” (Directive 2019/944/EU) which may be open for “cross-border participation”....

As Bangladesh's economy expands, the country has experienced severe power crises over the decades. With the Government's effective implementation of policies, the country has shown remarkable progress in energy sector recently. Even though various initiatives have been undertaken to improve...

The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the financial performance for publicly-traded firms operating in the energy sector. The energy sector has a unique role to play in global CSR efforts because of the size of the...

his paper shows that a simple and relativistic extension of Newtonian gravity, that takes into account Lorentz relativistic mass, leads to predictions that fit supernova observations of magnitude versus redshift without the need to introduce dark energy. In order to test the concept, we look at...

Kinetic proofreading mechanisms explain the extraordinary accuracy observed in central biological events in terms of the enhanced specificity of substrate selection networks under a nonequilibrium environment. The nonequilibrium steady state theory incorporated with a chemical thermodynamic...

This study bridges the current research gap by exploring the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the renewable energy sector in Bangladesh through the OLI and TCE theories. Based on semi-structured interviews with 13 experts, it investigates the determinants of firms’...

The use of new energy sources, including geothermal energy, is expanding rapidly in the world, and this energy is a good alternative to fossil fuels. In the present study, a combined power generation system (combined instantaneous evaporation cycle with supercritical carbon dioxide recovery...

Note: This is paper has been peer-reviewed and was published in March 2022 at the SAIMM Journal, available at https://saimm.evlink4.net/servlet/link/403814/455655/39372714/5448861....Oil, coal, and gas account for ~80% of global primary energy, but only a portion of total airborne CO2eq (~40% at...

The impact of climate hazards on the banking sector and its subsectors is an area of current focus in financial risk management. Banks are continuously evolving methodologies to assess and embed climate risk impact and management into their portfolios using sector specific regulatory guidance...

The global energy crisis that began in fall 2021 and the following spike in energy price constitute a major challenge for the world economy which risks undermining the post-COVID-19 recovery. In this paper, we develop and validate a new macroeconomic agent-based model with an endogenous energy...

COVID-19’s effects on the Indian economy has been very disturbing with the economy facing major problems related to economic slowdowns, stagnancy of growth, liquidity crunch, reduced revenue gaps and restrictive market environment amongst many others. This had therefore also had a huge impact...

Historically, innovation in the energy sector proceeded slowly and entrepreneurial start-up firms played a relatively minor role. We argue that this may be changing. Energy markets are going through a period of profound structural change. The rise of hydrofracturing lowered fossil fuel prices so...

Based on an analysis of the aerosol optical properties for Cotonou, Benin from the DACCIWA measurement campaign, we investigate the impact of aerosols on PV power for polycrystalline silicon and amorphous silicon technology using a spectrally resolved model chain. The model considers both...

This study assesses a gas stabilization unit's energy, exergy, economic, and environmental performance through a real-time optimization (RTO) strategy. A detailed sensitivity analysis is also conducted using response surface methodology to evaluate the relative significance of operating...

Recent studies have extensively discussed the integration of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in existing energy systems to achieve net-zero emissions. India recently initiated a carbon dioxide-based enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) project in the matured oil wells of western...

Energy megaprojects have enormous impacts on society, the environment and political systems. The global decline of democratic norms in the last decade has important implications for the development of energy megaprojects, which have not been systematically examined in extant literature. This...

This paper discusses possible technical, economical and geopolitical consequences of the new energy scenario. We analyze the net zero emissions global race with an emphasis on the role renewable energies will play in this phenomenon and COP26’s recent decisions on climate and energy...

In order to mitigate climate change in an accelerated time frame, more research is needed to understand how to achieve effective large-scale diffusion of low-carbon innovations. The conceptualization of sectoral socio-technical system transitions requires extending beyond an economic and...

In order to meet the Paris Agreement climate goals and spurred by increasing concern over the adverse impacts of climate change, governments and organizations around the world are calling for the transition and transformation of the energy sector away from fossil fuel extraction and toward...

The application of EU competition law to the European energy sectors has proved to be complicated, because of the characteristics of electricity and natural gas markets, such as price inelasticity, low levels of liquidity and limited storability. The complexity of the problem is fur-ther...

The energy transition requires substantial amounts of metals such as copper, nickel, cobalt and lithium. Are these metals a key bottleneck? We identify metal-specific demand shocks, estimate supply elasticities and pin down the price impact of the energy transition in a structural scenario...
