To reduce fossil fuel consumption and promote clean fuel, many countries are considering hydrogen as an alternative fuel and a bridge to sustainable development and achieve net zero target. Indian government has taken multiple policy initiatives to promote hydrogen fuel adoption in India. But nevertheless, the major presence of the multiple barriers limits the mass adoption of hydrogen as a preferred fuel. Therefore, identification and assessment of the key internal and external barriers of the hydrogen fuel vehicles adoption is required to mitigate the climate change issues. This study has identified and analyzed the barriers. The criticality assessment of the barriers is done by fuzzy based hybrid approach analytic hierarchy process. Later, sensitivity experiments are conducted to verify the robustness of the model. The findings of the study show that technical barriers are most critical barriers in the adoption of hydrogen fuel vehicles in India.

The individual consumers, able to influence the supply-chains behind the commodities their chose to fulfil their needs is the driver behind production and, consequently, its impacts. Thus, the active and willing participation of citizens in combatting climate change may be pivotal to address this issue. The present work is aimed at presenting and modelling a novel market-based carbon emission reduction mechanism, called BitCO<sub>2</sub>, designed to incentivize individual consumption choices toward lower carbon footprints. This mechanism is tested for the Italian private transportation sector thanks to an ad hoc developed System Dynamics model. The Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) adoption, if compared with the Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle (ICEV) one, cause less CO<sub>2</sub> emissions per km travelled. After a certain number of travelled km, a BitCO<sub>2</sub> token is assigned to BEV owners for each ton of avoided CO<sub>2</sub>.

However, data on CoC is sparse, which is an issue given large differences in CoC between countries and over time. The global trend towards competitive auctions for renewable energy deployment provides an opportunity to fill this gap. Here, we demonstrate how to combine auction price and project-level cost data to estimate the CoC for solar PV over time in nine countries, analysing 3′983 individual projects. Based on our results, we conclude that the CoC has fallen considerably across countries in all five continents analysed. These decreases were largely due to a reduction in premiums that investors demand for solar PV projects. We also find a strong decline in the variance of the data across time, pointing to better data quality and/or more homogenous project conditions. This trend is encouraging for future analyses, including potential CoC forecasting. However, given data quality issues and the amount of manual work required to address these, the approach should not be used as a standalone to estimate the CoC across countries.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"183 ","pages":"Article 113849"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50202799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
