How to avoid unjust energy transitions: insights from the Ruhr regionAbstract
Background
The transition of the Ruhr region in Germany from a hard coal belt into a knowledge-based economy with a dynamic service sector and state of the art universities over the past 60–80 years has been widely touted as a successful example of how just and fair low carbon energy transi... ...

Evaluation of the preference for and viability of clean cookstove adoption in rural Tanzania
Energy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 13 - Trang 1-14 - 2023
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 calls for “universal access to affordable, reliable, modern energy services” for the 2.6 billion individuals lacking access to clean cooking fuels and stoves. Low- and middle-income countries are designing policies towards clean fuels, but often prioritize World Health Organization defined ‘clean’ fuels and stoves to urban areas. As clean solutions are explored......
A study on a political system for the advance in green hydrogen technology: a South Korea case study
Energy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 13 - Trang 1-9 - 2023
Hydrogen energy, a type of renewable energy if produced without fossil fuel, has a critical issue in that most of it is still produced from carbon footprint heavy industries such as the fossil fuel industry. It is imperative to produce hydrogen from renewable sources on a global level so that the carbon footprint can be curbed. South Korea, along with other global economies such as the US, the EU,......
A case study of a procedure to optimize the renewable energy coverage in isolated systems: an astronomical center in the North of Chile
Energy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 7 - Trang 1-13 - 2017
Renewable energy resources show variabilities at different characteristic time scales. For a given resource and demand pro le, there is an absolute maximum achievable coverage (when limiting the fraction of energy lost during production and delivery to a reasonable value). To reach larger coverage factors, two plausible paths can be taken: a mix of resources with different time variabilities and/o......
Low-carbon development strategy for the West African electricity system: preliminary assessment using System dynamics approach
Energy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 7 - Trang 1-23 - 2017
Policy makers seek to understand the trade-offs needed between economic growth and climate change. This provides the context to explore low-carbon development (LCD) pathways for the West African electricity system. The study relied on both primary and secondary sources to elicit required information. These data were elicited from relevant authorities in the West African electricity system, namely,......
Modelling the effect of different agricultural practices on stream nitrogen load in central Germany
Energy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 6 - Trang 1-16 - 2016
Understanding the response of nitrogen fluxes to changes in land use and agricultural practices is crucial for improving the instream water quality prediction. In central Germany, the expansion of bioenergy crops during the last decade led to an increase in fertiliser application rates. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of agricultural management changes on the stream nitrogen......
How to achieve the climate targets? Spatial planning in the context of the German energy transition
Energy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 10 - Trang 1-12 - 2020
The transition of the energy system to renewable energy depends on how successfully the national objectives can be implemented at the lower planning levels. Germany pursues an incentive-oriented policy that is not spatially targeted and lets regional and local stakeholders determine where and how renewable energies are used. A core question is how to achieve the national goals, in a federal system......
Are claims of cheap muon production correct?Abstract
Background
Muon catalyzed fusion is a process, whereby isotopes of hydrogen undergo nuclear fusion thanks to a muon replacing an electron bringing the nuclei within fusion distance. The muon is then ejected and can facilitate a next fusion process. ‘Break even’ has not been achieved yet in ... ...

How to keep renewable energy enterprises to reach economic sustainable performance: from the views of intellectual capital and life cycle
Energy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 9 - Trang 1-10 - 2019
Intellectual capital can not only help companies to obtain sustainable competitive advantage, but also serve as a key factor in corporate performance improvement and value creation. For knowledge-intensive and technology-intensive renewable energy companies, the effective management of intellectual capital is particularly important. However, there is a huge gap between the book value of renewable ......
Low carbon futures: assessing the status of decarbonisation efforts at universities within a 2050 perspective
Energy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 13 - Trang 1-17 - 2023
The implementation of sustainability at universities means that they can also play a key role in the transition to a low carbon economy, and in assisting global efforts towards decarbonisation. Yet, not all of them have so far fully engaged in this area. This paper reviews the state of the art on trends in decarbonisation, and outlines the need for decarbonisation efforts at universities. It also ......
