This paper analyzes the role of renewable energy sources (RES) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) in enhancing critical infrastructure resilience, using the case of a partial blackout in North Macedonia in May 2025. It shows that dec…

Matjaž Mavrič

This thesis examines how the European Green Deal influences energy transition in six Western Balkan countries. It finds that EU influence is strong in formal legislative alignment (carbon pricing, renewable energy, NECPs) but weaker in impl…

This study reconstructs national installed-cost trajectories for solar PV and onshore wind across over 160 countries, finding that latecomer cost convergence depends on technology architecture. For modular PV, emerging-economy laggards show…

Belay Sitotaw Goshu, Muhammad Ridwan

This study assesses Ethiopia's climate mitigation under the CRGE framework (2010-2023). Renewables (mainly hydropower) and afforestation achieved 34,006 tCO₂ reductions, but GDP growth drove emissions up 196%. Decoupling analysis shows full…

This integrative review examines barriers to net-zero carbon buildings beyond economic and legislative factors, uncovering how stakeholder concerns—such as profit focus, risk aversion, and power dynamics—shape and reinforce these barriers. …

Iacopo Savelli

This study models profit cannibalization among renewables (RES) and battery storage (BESS) in 33 European countries for 2030 and 2040. RES capacity increases by 10% reduce RES profits by 19-23%, while BESS profits drop only 8%. RES growth b…
