Economic sanctions have emerged as critical instruments of geopolitical strategy, with significant ramifications for global energy markets, innovation trajectories, and the transition to sustainable energy systems. This study offers a qualitative synthesis of literature and case studies spanning...

Systematic analysis and evaluation of nuclear energy development serves as a cornerstone in shaping national nuclear science and technology strategies. This study undertakes a comparative investigation of global nuclear energy modeling paradigms, aiming to elucidate methodological strengths and...

This study investigates the impact of financial development (FD) on energy security risk (ESR) in 48 Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries from 1948 to 2022, emphasizing the roles of human capital (HC) and institutional quality (IQ). Findings reveal that FD significantly influences ESR, with...

Developing low-carbon and efficient power systems is critical for energy security in the global warming context. We address this issue by focusing on the productivity impact of a decarbonization policy in China's thermal power sector-namely, the "Constructing Large Units and Restricting Small...

The recurrence of international geopolitical events has intensified tensions in global energy supply chains. As a major crude oil consumer, China urgently needs to identify vulnerabilities within its crude oil supply chain (COSC) and implement targeted measures to safeguard national energy...

This research investigates carbon neutrality methods while concentrating on China's aggressive carbon neutrality targets and its renewable energy investment programs. Climate-compatible development serves as a key mechanism which enables economic development alongside sustainable goals. This...

Designing sustainable local energy systems requires addressing three aspects of the energy trilemma: energy economics, energy security, and environmental impact. These elements are influenced by geopolitical factors that exert policies over geographical locations in which the energy system...

In the context of global Energy Security (ES) challenges, New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) have garnered significant attention as a pivotal technology for catalyzing the energy transition, fortifying ES, and curtailing reliance on fossil fuels. However, the specific impact of New Energy Vehicle...

While the European Union (EU) and other Western nations are weaning themselves off the Kremlin's fossil energy resources, global nuclear energy producers remain closely tied to Russia's nuclear industry. One in four nuclear reactors worldwide is connected to Russia (either operating...

This article addresses the limitations of traditional energy security assessment frameworks, such as the World Energy Trilemma Index (WETI) and Energy Transition Index (ETI), in capturing complexities introduced by the decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization (D3) of national energy...

Hydropower has long been a cornerstone in Ukraine's energy system, contributing significantly to electricity generation and grid stability. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the state, development, and potential of both large and small hydropower in Ukraine, with particular focus to...

The outcome of the 28th UN Climate Change Conference shows that international cooperation remains possible despite today's challenging geopolitical situation. Instead of the feared blockade, an agreement was reached for the first time - some three decades after the start of the COP process - to...

In Folge des russischen Angriffs auf die Ukraine sind die Preise für Erdgas im Jahr 2022 in immense Höhen geschnellt und haben gerade Deutschland die Folgen seiner starken Abhängigkeit von Russland spüren lassen. Die Preisspitzen sind inzwischen zwar abgeklungen, die europäische...

In 2020, the Chinese coal chemical industry processed nearly one quarter of national coal throughput, and accounted for about 5.4 per cent of national CO2 emissions. Yet the coal chemicals' industry ability to limit oil and gas imports is appealing to the Chinese leadership in the context of...

This study explores the structural shifts in Europe's energy landscape following the loss of over one-third of its natural gas supplies due to the conflict in Ukraine, effectively severing the traditional natural gas trade 'bridge' between Russia and Europe. Amidst Europe's deep integration into...

As a result of the Russian attack on Ukraine, natural gas prices skyrocketed in 2022 and Germany in particular felt the impact of its strong dependency on Russia. Prices have since relaxed, the European natural gas industry has overcome the uncertainty due to the energy crisis in 2022, and the...
