This paper examines 'energy democracy' as a framework for guiding a just renewable energy transition, noting that competing models of democracy (liberal, ecological, green republican, socialist) create ambiguity in the concept. Drawing on p…

Many 1.5°C/2°C pathways assume CO2 geological storage reaching ~15 GtCO2/yr by 2100, yet 2023 deployment was only ~0.045 GtCO2/yr. This brief assesses how six major IAMs represent geological storage and whether recent updates improved the r…
