This paper introduces Health-Aware Optimal Power Flow (H-OPF), which integrates the public-health externalities of electricity generation into grid dispatch optimization. Because air pollution dispersion depends on emission location, intens…

Arkadiusz Stanisław Weremczuk, Mariusz Grębowiec

Using EUROSTAT SHARES data for EU-27 (2004–2024), this study compares renewable shares across electricity, transport, and heating/cooling. All sectors advanced, but electricity led while transport lagged. Relative dispersion fell yet absolu…

A PRISMA 2020 systematic review (14 studies) critically assesses whether the global just energy transition (JET) is truly just in the Global South. Drawing on African, Latin American, and South Asian cases, it shows how financing, technolog…

Tansel Dogan, Hernan Flores, Sylwia Jarosławska-Sobór +1

A qualitative comparative review of coal transition pathways in Germany's Ruhr, Poland's Upper Silesia, and Czechia's Moravian-Silesian Region. It examines governance coordination, phase-out clarity, labour-market instruments, innovation st…

This paper measures the actual energy transition in ten non-Western countries (China, India, Indonesia, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Chile, Türkiye) over 2013–2024 using 21 indicators across three steps: solar/wind gr…

Isaac Ketu, Germain Stephane Ketchoua

Using EKC framework and system GMM on 2000–2023 data from 53 African countries, this study examines how digitalisation, the knowledge economy, and government spending shape energy transition. Digitalisation initially impedes but eventually …

Giulia Anna Maria Castorino, Lucrezia Manservigi, Pier Ruggero Spina +1

This study identifies energy conversion and storage technologies likely to lead the hospital sector's transition to 2050. It integrates particle swarm optimization with mixed-integer linear programming to jointly optimize sizing and operati…

Michał Igielski

A convergent mixed-methods study comparing Poland, Germany, Denmark, and Spain on how digital transformation, organizational learning, and Sustainable Business Model Innovation jointly support renewable energy transitions. Higher digital ma…
