TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the integrated assessment model MEDEAS-World to study four global transportation decarbonization strategies for 2050, and show that a massive replacement of oil-fueled individual vehicles to electric ones alone cannot deliver GHG reductions consistent with climate stabilization and could result in the scarcity of some key minerals, such as lithium and magnesium.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impact of income level, inequality in the distribution of income and the control of corruption on access to electricity from 1990-2017 in South Africa, using Bayesian and nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) estimation approach.

TL;DR: The authors in this paper presented the objectives, approach and cross-cutting results of the Latin American Deep Decarbonization Pathways project (DDP-LAC), which synthesized and compared detailed national and sectoral deep decarbonization pathways to 2050 compatible with the Paris Agreement objectives and domestic development priorities in Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper compared the clean innovation effects of carbon tax with cap-and-trade systems by a static optimal model, and they concluded that cap and trade system is more efficient to reduce emission and to promote clean innovation than carbon tax.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a value chain model for the South Asian wind power industry, scrutinizing both internal and external factors to analyze the viability of present condition and future roadmap to foster the wind energy sector by adopting Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) model.

TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of microalgae harvesting in Malaysia to produce biodiesel and potential to implement micro-algae-biodiesel as commercial transportation fuel was evaluated.

TL;DR: The relationship between the purpose of models and their complexity is examined and it is concluded that when creating a model, modelers allocate complexity in order of priority on those features and properties that are particularly important for fulfilling the model's purpose.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate developments in gas supply security in the EU-27 Member States in the context of the gas crises of 2006 and 2009, and find that the level of gas security has hardly improved.

TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of energy generation by incineration of waste in Mexico was evaluated using the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR).

TL;DR: In this article, meteorological data from sixty-two locations in MENA (the Middle East and North Africa) region have been used to simulate the technical and the economic performances of a 50 MWe CSP (Concentrating Solar Power) power plant with parabolic troughs technology and two-tank storage system.

TL;DR: The current status of the Indian power system is presented, detailing existing technology types, regulatory norms, and future targets and a comprehensive review of relevant technical options, market mechanisms and planning approaches for transitioning into a flexible power system for India are presented.

TL;DR: An integrated 3-phase model, founded on a multi-criteria decision model, will assist the cement managers in achieving their energy saving targets and assist the plant managers to select and invest in the most suitable projects.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the technological pathway of a deep-decarbonisation future that supports reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, compared to a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario, and show that the decarbonisation pathway can lead to emissions reduction of 87% in the transport and energy sectors by 2050.

TL;DR: In this paper, the challenges and opportunities for Russian natural gas exports based on recent statistical data, academic publications, and media sources are analyzed and compared to the U.S. natural gas market.

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of 469 samples and on-site visiting to and interviewing relevant 50 actors of ESCOs, financial institutions and local housing authorities, identifies main barriers of accessing to green financing at both systemic policy level and operational meso and micro level in China.
