The demand for critical minerals is rising in support of the low-carbon energy transition, as well as global economic growth. Despite its hostile environment, the Arctic is a region with historic and existing mineral production. This paper assesses the potential of the Arctic to make a...

Greater Asia is emerging as a major factor in the global energy transition. This shift is associated with growing independence from external actors such as the European Union and the United States, with unfolding developments increasingly concentrated within the region itself. Key trends include...

Purpose - Growing food insecurity is a leading cause of fatalities, particularly in developing nations like Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. However, the rising energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are mostly associated with food production. Balancing the trade-offs...

The global energy landscape is undergoing a major transformation, upending decades of economic thinking built around resource scarcity. Unlike fossil fuels – continuously extracted from finite, geographically fixed deposits – renewable energy revolves around manufacturing technology that...

Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) is one of the more mature approaches to carbon neutrality, yet simultaneously one of the least understood or categorically defined. This paper intends to provide a broad-based overview of CCU, as well as a deeper dive that will incorporate scalability, market...

Industrial policy has a long history, having been used by many governments to encourage economic development through the provision of direct financial support and/or supportive regulations to specific sectors and industries. Over the past decade, the energy transition has increasingly forced...

Following the Russia-Ukraine war, the issue of energy security has once again surged to the forefront of global discussions. The disruption and threats to global energy security caused by the war have starkly exposed the vulnerability of energy supply chains, accentuating the pressing need for...

Decarbonization of the energy sector, requires a strong expansion of renewable energy, which combined with effective and efficient use of resources, enables the development of models based on the green economy. Tidal energy, which is currently underutilized, can contribute to this change by...

This study examines the effect of environment tax and renewable energy transition on the green economic growth of 37 OECD countries from 1990 to 2021. The empirical results show that environmental tax has a non-linear impact on green economic growth. The nonlinearity is characterised by a...

Purpose - A study of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states' (AMS) norm entrepreneurial practices regarding the energy transition to reveal insights into its current and future governance. Design/methodology/approach - Understanding why the notion of an energy transition...

Purpose - The paper systematically examines the capacity building needs of energy and climate stakeholders in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It looks at conditions and opportunities for improvements in institutional, organisational, technological, innovation and financing...

Purpose - This study employs advanced modelling to assess the effectiveness of Malaysia's current energy policies in achieving a low-carbon future. By optimising a 100% renewable energy mix, including energy storage, the research identifies pathways to decarbonise the power sector while...

This evaluation report is part of the interim evaluation of Horizon Europe activities related to the Green Transition. It presents the assessment of the Co-Funded European Partnership Clean Energy Transition (CETP) against the evaluation criteria of relevance, coherence, efficiency,...

To serve and protect its citizens from climate change, the EU and its Member States need to act decisively and quickly. This raises the question if EU law currently offers the legal space required for such effective action, for example by creating a true Climate and Energy Union. Where the...
