This paper analyzes the economics of power-to-methanol using curtailed renewable energy, evaluating the impact of carbon sourcing, hydrogen storage, and temporal electricity constraints on cost and feasibility.

Fernando Tormos-Aponte

This perspective examines the unequal consequences of US grid unreliability, drawing on Hurricane María outages. It argues that environmental justice and just transition principles should guide grid resilience investments, data improvements…

María Cecilia Ruiz Cardona, Carlos Humberto González Escobar

This study examines Colombia's paradox of clean electricity coexisting with fossil fuel exports and energy-poor territories. Using critical discourse analysis, case studies, and participatory workshops, it identifies six barriers to just tr…

Ogechi Vivian Nwadiaru

This dissertation proposes a framework to integrate equity into energy planning optimization models, focusing on energy storage for autonomy, reliability, and resilience. It uses stakeholder values as metrics and comprises three essays on c…

Jinyoung Ham, Dohyung Jang, Haeseong Shin +2

This study develops a dynamic model of a PV-AWE-Batt-SOFC hybrid system using AMESim® to evaluate optimal configurations and energy management strategies for multi-energy stations. It provides economic, environmental, and technical indicato…

Régis Rathmann, Beatriz Matias El Assad, Diego Ribeiro do Amaral +5

This paper evaluates the environmental sustainability of Brazil's soy-based biofuel production policy. While biofuels are considered renewable energy, concerns arise from land-use change and agricultural inputs. The study examines the polic…

Venkata Sai Avvaru, Haegyum Kim

This presentation discusses the development of disordered rock salt (DRX) oxyfluoride cathodes for lithium-ion batteries, which avoid critical elements like cobalt and nickel. It covers recent progress in highly fluorinated DRX compounds fo…

Kehinde A. Adeyeye, Charles Mbohwa

A systematic review of hybrid energy systems (HES) in urban Southern Africa (2010-2025) finds PV-battery-grid dominance, with mean LCOE of $0.18/kWh and CO2 reductions of 56.8-90.3%. Urban HES shows strong decarbonization and economic viabi…

Preetha Krishnasamy, Muralikrishnan Gopalakrishnan, Titus Sigamani +1

This paper analyzes the UK's Future Power System Architecture (FPSA) program, re-evaluating the overall design and structure of the electricity system. By integrating smart grid technologies and advanced system design, it examines stakehold…

Nathalie Ferré, Philipp Wagner, Alessandra Bonci +1

This chapter examines Tunisia's renewable energy transition as a site of contentious politics, where inclusive and sovereignty-oriented futures clash with export-oriented projects like TuNur and Elmed that risk green extractivism. It argues…

Carlos Tornel, A.D. Dunlap, Joanna Allan +2

This review critiques the rapid discursive shift to low-carbon infrastructures, arguing that they often add to fossil fuel systems and impose disproportionate costs on the Global South through mineral extraction and supply chains. It propos…

A. Pineda, Tobias S. Schmidt, Florian Egli

This paper analyzes the roles and evolution of incumbent intermediaries in sustainability transitions, focusing on the World Bank Group (WBG) and its support for renewable energy technologies in developing countries. It proposes a 'fitness'…

This study compares carbon footprints of vitrification versus grouting for low-activity radioactive waste at Hanford. Vitrification emits ~32 tCO2e/m3, while grouting with rail transport emits ~2.5 tCO2e/m3, highlighting rail infrastructure…

Pérez DM, Orcajo GAA

This paper compares the grid impact of classic AC and multipulse converter-fed electric arc furnaces (EAF) using MATLAB/Simulink. The multipulse approach improves power factor to 0.87, reduces harmonic voltage distortion by 37-44%, and lowe…
