Multiobjective optimisation of integrated energy systems for remote communities considering economics and CO2 emissions
TLDR
The study shows that the economic implementation of renewable energy (solar) is even more difficult, compared to Diesel based solutions, in cases of isolated communities with high load variations and new infrastructure or retrofit cases are considered.About:

Reducing CO2 emissions by substituting biomass for fossil fuels
TL;DR: In this article, the efficiency of substituting fossil fuels with sustainably-produced biomass will reduce the net flow of CO2 to the atmosphere and the substitution costs are calculated as the cost difference between continued use of fossil fuels at current prices and the use of biomass, assuming that the biomass technologies are implemented when reinvestments in existing technologies are required.
