A geospatial analysis of Germany's ground-mounted PV on drained organic soils (Peatland-PV), covering 1,019 ha as of 2026 and projected to reach 2,604–8,031 ha by 2045. Most existing sites are deeply drained (median water table ~−0.5 m), em…

This paper asks whether monetary tightening slows wind-capacity expansion more where turbine imports come from few suppliers. It proposes a Monetary–Supply-Chain Transmission Mechanism (MSTM) in which supplier concentration shapes bargainin…

Using World Bank and OWID data for 111 countries (2001–2022), the study tests whether a Climate Transition Risk Index predicts a Global Financial Vulnerability Index. Fixed-effects estimates show only marginal significance (β=0.228, p=0.094…

This paper proposes a retrieval-augmented non-parametric framework for ultra-short-term probabilistic wind power forecasting. A physics-informed BiLSTM-Attention network extracts regime features, and retrieved historical analogs are weighte…

Merlet Echavarría AA

Comparing open facility-level records with agency estimates across China, Japan, South Korea and the US, the study finds visible data-centre load covers only 0.8–6.3% of estimated demand, leaving 92–99% invisible. Whether clean power keeps …

This study compares battery and green hydrogen storage for a representative 24-hour solar profile in Nusantara Capital City, Indonesia, using a 2024–2046 dispatch model with lifecycle costs and LCOS. Mixed-vintage assumptions favor batterie…

Yaakub S, Ali S, Suki NM

Surveying 476 respondents in Pakistan and applying PLS-SEM, this study assesses which renewable-energy policy instruments best attract green investment for household wind turbines. Feed-in tariffs emerge as the most effective instrument, an…

Flores E

This paper proposes a hybrid sustainability reporting framework for Cambodian companies transitioning to mandatory ESG disclosure, using IFRS S1/S2 as the technical baseline and Integrated Reporting's six capitals as the strategic architect…

Darmanto S

Treating 44 Global South countries' power facilities as sovereign data silos, the authors benchmark four training regimes on renewable-vs-fossil classification. Federated averaging matched centralized pooling (AUC 0.895) without data leavin…

A UK detached house case study evaluates reducing embodied and operational carbon via less concrete, bio-based materials, on-site PV, and high-performance services. Embodied A1-A4 fossil carbon of 321.00 kg CO2e/m2 can be cut to 286.85 kg C…

Derii V, Zaporozhets A, Nechaieva T +1

This study analyzes how the installed capacity ratio of wind and solar affects energy storage requirements in a hybrid power complex. Using normalized hourly generation profiles, it finds an optimal solar-to-wind ratio of 0.75–1.25; at 1.0,…

This paper presents the first experimental digital platform for mapping secondary raw materials from construction waste in Sardinia, Italy. Covering concrete, wood, glass, plastics, metals, and ceramics, it uses AI-based tools to identify r…

Podgórski K, Kral-Grabka D

Using hourly 2020–2026 data, the study tests a hybrid framework combining RSI with an ADX regime filter and LLM-quantified geopolitical sentiment across WTI, Brent, Henry Hub gas, and NextEra as a renewables proxy. Sentiment gains are regim…

Lin H, Wang Z, Jiang H +6

Reconstructing generation for 10,032 Chinese wind farms (1989-2022), the authors find over 20% of technically available generation goes unused. While grid-connection delays and reported curtailment fell ~70% over the past decade, a residual…

Eskafi M, Helgason H

An exploratory policy assessment of the energy transition in Icelandic ports using desk research, secondary data, systems thinking, and SWOT analysis. Larger ports with established infrastructure and sufficient marine traffic can accommodat…
