Employing econometric and partial linear function coefficients (PLFC) models, the results show that green finance significantly promotes energy transition by enhancing digital technology innovation and improving financial resource allocation. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the impact of green finance is stronger in regions with higher urbanization, greater foreign direct investment (FDI), larger labor forces, and more developed internet infrastructure. The study also highlights the non-linear moderating effect of women political participation on the green finance-energy transition relationship. Specifically, when women political participation is low, green finance has limited or even adverse effects on carbon emissions, while higher women participation enhances the effectiveness of green finance in reducing carbon emissions. The results highlight the importance of gender-inclusive policies in decision-making to enhance the role of green finance in driving energy transition.

Applying the Structure-Conduct-Performance-Regulation (SCP-R) framework and informed by stakeholder insights, we identify critical enablers for advancing the hydrogen market formation. Our analysis highlights the importance of innovative pricing strategies and regulatory measures incentivizing investment and managing risks. Establishing a market reference price for low-carbon hydrogen — akin to benchmarks in the natural gas and LNG sectors—is critical for ensuring transparency, predictability, and regional adaptability in trade. Additionally, customized business models are also needed to mitigate volume risks for producers.

This study creates a novel financial tool, ‘sustainability premium’ based on a Cost-Benefit-Analysis (CBA) capturing sustainability aspects of early retirement. The sustainability premium can be used alone or with carbon credit prices in early retiring CFPPs. The CBA is applied to the Tenayan Riau CFPP in Indonesia based on three scenarios: business-as-usual where the plant continues to operate (BAU), early retirement without any substitute (RE) and with a renewable alternative (AR). BAU and RE impose significant welfare costs on Indonesia. Welfare loss is roughly seven times smaller in AR than RE. The benefits in AR include improvement in public health, water quality, visibility, and smog and carbon emissions. The sustainability premium can be adjusted for retirement age to provide enough incentives and used with carbon credit schemes to make early retirement welfare enhancing. DFIs can use the sustainability premium in just energy transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"207 ","pages":"Article 114810"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144829655","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}

This can be done through demand-side flexibility (DSF) markets, where users are rewarded for shifting their energy use to times of high renewable availability. However, participation is often limited due to complex incentives and users' limited ability or willingness to shift demand. Automation offers a solution but depends on users trusting the service providers—trust that is often lacking. We propose a conceptual framework connecting user time commitment and system enabled agency, examining how this influences trust in energy governance. We consider how consumer and competition policies can reduce user vulnerability and shift where trust is placed. Using secondary data, we apply this framework to three case studies—Australia, the UK, and New York State—analysing how governance processes support user trust, reduce vulnerability, or both. Should trust be a desired outcome, policy should be designed to reduce vulnerability by providing strong protections. Equally, users should be able to \"trade\" time to build trust in the system by participating in system governance, creating agency within automation. However, trust needs to be both deserved and maintained over time by the energy institutions for the acceptance of the automation of demand-side technologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 114806"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144772709","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}

Regulatory unclarity and ambiguity around the hydrogen distribution infrastructure, including restrictions on distribution system operators (DSOs), compound these challenges. This study investigates the complex and evolving regulatory landscape for hydrogen distribution across Cluster 6 in the Netherlands using a two-step approach of Institutional Network Analysis (INA) and stakeholder interviews. Findings outline possible pathways for delegating distribution responsibilities in current and future regulatory frameworks while stakeholders report structural and outcome uncertainty, limiting their willingness to invest in hydrogen distribution initiatives.

Based on the ABC (Affect, Behavior, and Cognition) model of attitudes, this study constructed a theoretical model for the formative mechanism of public willingness to participate in CSES (WTPIC). Through empirical research conducted in Guangzhou, China, it is clarified that energy storage cognition (ESC) has a significant positive impact on WTPIC. Second, enhancing prosuming-value perception and reducing perceived risk are the main mechanisms by which ESC affects WTPIC. Third, personal innovativeness and community identity have a moderating effect at different stages. Finally, further simulation experiments revealed that the behavior of refusing to participate in CSES has a high diffusion rate and depth. Meanwhile, the positive effects of information incentive policies and economic incentive policies have been supported.
