Overcoming these hurdles requires innovative solutions that can bridge the gap between current capabilities and future needs. Swarm electrification emerges as a promising concept that could accelerate progress towards achieving SDG 7 goals by leveraging the collective power of decentralized energy resources. This paper presents a literature review on swarm electrification and related insights from case studies. The study delves into the concept of swarm electrification, placing it within the context of the prevailing trends in the power system sector: decentralization, decarbonization, and digitalization. It examines the role of digital technologies in enhancing swarm electrification and categorizes application areas according to the phases of swarm electrification. Particular attention is given to the technologies underpinning Deep Digitalization, such as distributed ledger technology, notably blockchain, and artificial intelligence, with a focus on machine learning. These technologies play pivotal roles in advancing swarm electrification. The review demonstrates how deep digitalization can facilitate the improvement of swarm electrification and ultimately support the integration of bottom-up initiatives with top-down grid expansion efforts over time.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49209,"journal":{"name":"Energy for Sustainable Development","volume":"81 ","pages":"Article 101489"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0973082624001157/pdfft?md5=db4d9dca95fcb39299151ace8e3993b5&pid=1-s2.0-S0973082624001157-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141433791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, as a leader in the fight against climate change, the government's climate perception has a crucial influence on the fight against climate change. Based on Chinese government work reports and microlevel enterprise data, this study combines machine learning and text analysis methods to construct a government climate risk perception indicator. The study systematically examines the impact of government climate risk perception on corporate fossil energy consumption and intensity. The results reveal that (1) A 1 % increase in the government's climate risk perception leads to a respective 1.67 % and 1.71 % reduction in corporate energy consumption and energy intensity. (2) A 1 % increase in government climate risk perception corresponds to a 0.274 % increase in environmental regulation, reduces firms' low-quality energy consumption by 0.001 %, and increases firms' high-quality energy consumption by 0.001 %, lowering overall fossil energy consumption. (3) The negative effect of government climate risk perception on fossil energy consumption and intensity is more significant for small-scale firms, firms subject to high environmental regulatory intensity, and dry and wet climate zones. (4) The spatial spillover effect test shows that a 1 % increase in government climate risk perception will reduce neighboring areas' energy consumption by 7.5 %, indicating that government climate risk perception will not only affect local energy consumption, but also affects neighboring areas' energy consumption. Finally, the study presents proposed policy recommendations for governments to navigate climate change risks and facilitate the global energy transition, and achieve sustainable development goals.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49209,"journal":{"name":"Energy for Sustainable Development","volume":"81 ","pages":"Article 101496"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141433792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This knowledge gap hinders the widespread adoption of sustainable construction practices and the full potential of carbon markets for incentivizing change. This study aims to bridge this gap by investigating and assessing 15 key strategies for achieving NZCBs and promoting carbon credit implementation. Data from 109 construction professionals in Vietnam was analyzed using several statistical techniques. The results of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's post-hoc analysis showed no significant differences in the key strategies for promoting carbon credits among key stakeholders (policymakers, contractors, suppliers, and architects/designers). However, distinct variations were identified in the strategies for achieving NZCBs. Furthermore, the findings revealed that the top-priority strategies for NZCBs included: (1) raising awareness, (2) developing project-specific emission reduction roadmaps, and (3) increasing renewable energy utilization. For promoting carbon credits, the prioritized strategies involved: (1) tax reduction, (2) integrating emission reduction criteria into tender documents, and (3) awarding technical points to contractors with emission reduction solutions. Theoretically, this study breaks new ground by simultaneously examining key strategies for achieving NZCBs and carbon credits implementation within the specific context of an emerging economy. Practically, this paper offers valuable recommendations for Vietnamese policymakers and industry leaders, enabling them to navigate a roadmap for a greener and more sustainable built environment, not just in Vietnam but also in other emerging economies facing similar challenges.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49209,"journal":{"name":"Energy for Sustainable Development","volume":"81 ","pages":"Article 101488"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141428919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study addresses the benefits, challenges, and unresolved issues of transitioning to e-cooking, including time savings, appropriateness of e-appliances, cost implications, and gender roles. The study raises questions about appliance design, fuel stacking and the co-benefits of biomass cooking. It highlights the importance of addressing safety concerns and providing training on electricity usage alongside e-cooking adoption. The economic benefits, particularly when systems include battery storage, remain uncertain due to potential appliance inefficiencies and behaviour changes that can impact energy consumption, undermining anticipated benefits.

Our results show that distributing two LPG cylinders to households (instead of one) contributed toward primary use of the fuel, whereas free weekly delivery of LPG (for up to four years) had limited long-term benefits and diminishing returns. Furthermore, reducing the time for users to perceive the benefits of cleaner fuels enhanced willingness-to-pay, and thereby helped to sustain higher rates of LPG use. This suggests that intervention planners should identify new users' expectations of benefits and proactively design ways to realize those benefits quickly (in a few weeks or less), while policy makers should support this as a design requirement in approval processes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49209,"journal":{"name":"Energy for Sustainable Development","volume":"81 ","pages":"Article 101497"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141423358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many people are therefore regularly exposed to risks of health losses from household air pollution, burn injuries, and conflagrations. This unprecedented energy and health challenge underscores the urgency to scale up access to clean energy. Although LPG is widely promoted across the continent as a clean alternative, it's yet to attain widespread usage due to limited access. Conversely, renewable alcohol fuels, such as methanol, with comparable clean combustion characteristics to LPG, have received less attention. This article utilises a narrative review approach to offer a critique of alcohol fuel use with illustrations from four African regions. The reviewed literature includes recent research on the use of methanol and ethanol fuels in the continent and seminal work on the use of alcohol stoves. The aim is to enhance comprehension of the experienced benefits and challenges of using alcohol fuels, and how to deploy them more widely. The results indicate that alcohol-fuelled stoves perform satisfactorily in ease of use, energy efficiency, and emissions abatement, and could complement proven clean cooking solutions. However, these fuels, especially methanol, while posing less of a conflagration risk compared to more widely used fuels such as kerosene, still pose an elevated poisoning risk if ingested or on dermal contact. Considerations of its adoption should therefore incorporate specific policy protections against the possible health threats, including regulations that prescribe fuel denaturing, safe packaging and clear labelling, and compulsory appliance standards. The article builds on transitions research, focussing on the social, health and safety aspects of feasible and scalable clean energy options, with implications especially for energy planners and policy makers on the African continent.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49209,"journal":{"name":"Energy for Sustainable Development","volume":"81 ","pages":"Article 101498"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0973082624001248/pdfft?md5=0428c1fa49c241c61b37d378e6602c59&pid=1-s2.0-S0973082624001248-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141423359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Empirical data, including ambient temperature and solar irradiation, were employed to assess the solar radiation resource. In BESS simulations, PU power flows were utilized. The BESS defined operation (charging/discharging schedules) was aimed at the maximum use of the surplus PV energy and the largest reduction in electricity expenses (energy arbitrage). The suggested methodology was applied to a case study of a public building PU in Brazil. The results showed that, during peak hours, the adoption of the BESS would provide a 100 % reduction in measured power demands and consumed energy with a significant annual injection of power in the utility grid. During off-peak hours, the annual self-consumption of the PU would increase by nearly 30 %. This outcome underscores the benefits associated with time-of-use billing structure for public PU + BESS. Approximately 85 % of the total energy required to charge the BESS would be originated from the surplus of PV energy. The remaining 15 % would be supplemented by the utility grid. The findings show that currently, the insertion of BESS would not present financial attractiveness. However, it is anticipated that BESS costs will drop during the next few years.

A battolyser with lead-acid chemistry has recently been proposed, and this has potential as a particularly low-cost solution. Here, the battolyser is considered for the production of hydrogen as a cooking fuel (“hCooking”) in sub-Saharan Africa, a region where cooking typically employs polluting fuels (firewood and charcoal). The more conventional approach for decarbonisation of cooking is the introduction of electric cookers (e.g. hotplate, induction hob, pressure cooker) which can be powered by PV and possibly battery storage; accordingly these electric cooking (“eCooking”) systems are considered as the competing decarbonised technology. Multi-objective optimisation is used to design both battolyser and eCooking systems for a notional off-grid community, with solar PV as the main energy source. Objectives are the minimisation of net present cost and lifetime greenhouse gas emissions, and Pareto frontiers are produced to show the play-off between these. Results show that a battolyser system could eliminate 95.6 % of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions when compared with a baseline using charcoal, at an annualised cost of $507 per household, over a system lifetime of 20 years. However, eCooking systems appear superior to the battolyser, with the cleanest battery + eCook system achieving 95.8 % emissions reduction at annualised cost $422/household. More generally, hCooking systems are nearly always Pareto dominated by eCooking systems, even under a realistic range of sensitivity scenarios. This result is due to the inherently higher energy intensity of cooking over a flame compared to the eCooking options. Priorities to make the battolyser a more viable solution include extending its lifetime as far as possible, cheaper PV systems, and improved hydrogen burner efficiencies. We also show that eCooking together with some continued use of charcoal may be the cheapest possible cooking solution, whilst simultaneously curtailing 60 % of lifetime greenhouse gas emissions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49209,"journal":{"name":"Energy for Sustainable Development","volume":"81 ","pages":"Article 101491"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141325879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
