Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews

THE GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR A GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

All nations have access to renewable energy sources, but their complete potential has yet to be realized. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that by 2050, 90 percent of the world's electricity could and should be generated from renewable sources. Renewables offer a way out of import dependence,...

Critical Review of the Challenges of Financing Renewable Energy Development in Sub-Saharan Africa

There is an acute shortage of electricity supply in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and electricity blackouts are a common occurrence. Climate change and carbon dioxide gas emissions from conventional power-generating systems are also of great concern. Africa has vast renewable energy resources, including hydropower, solar,...

Sustainability management in renewable energy projects

This paper analyzes the critical role of renewable energy in the context of the global transition toward a sustainable development model, given that fossil fuels still account for 81% of global consumption, posing major climate risks. The study shows a positive trend at the European Union level, where clean energy sour...

High costs of capital shape the mitigation effects of renewable energy deployment globally

High costs of capital are a major barrier to renewables deployment in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), impeding decarbonisation efforts despite strong renewable resources. Using grid carbon intensity trajectories, we show that renewable deployment in LMICs has mitigation potentials over 20 times larger per pro...

Energy Transition Towards Strategic, Sustainable, and Diversified Renewable Technologies in Yemen

The electricity sector in Yemen remains underdeveloped, aggravated by the recent war. Addressing the sector's challenges necessitates strategic planning to identify efficient, diverse, and sustainable power sources. This study fills a critical gap by delivering an in-depth, data-driven analysis of Yemen’s energy shortc...
