This study investigates the factors that influence household cooking fuel transitions by analyzing the data from the General Household Survey 2015–2016 and 2018–2019 waves. With the aid of a multinomial logistic regression model, the study investigates how different dynamic factors — including urbanization, income levels, educational attainment of household heads, and access to clean cooking fuels — are related to households' shifts toward clean cooking fuels. The logistic regression results showed that while urbanization and increased income significantly boost the transition to clean cooking fuels, some factors like large family sizes, absence of clean energy sources, and low educational levels hinder this transition. This study adds to the existing literature by offering a more complex perspective on the fuel transitions in Nigeria, stating the importance of accessibility, education, and targeted interventions. To motivate energy choices of the household toward green, modern energy sources, our recommendations will be subsidizing clean cooking fuels, improving LPG distribution networks, energy literacy promotion, and community-based programs. These approaches are crucial for relieving the health hazards associated with traditional cooking techniques and promoting the sustainable growth of Nigeria.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49209,"journal":{"name":"Energy for Sustainable Development","volume":"85 ","pages":"Article 101630"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143102054","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}

One of the key drivers for these challenges is the increasing demand of energy consumption, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Energy sector is the largest main contributor of GHG emissions, with contributed 73 % of total global emissions and transport sector accounting for 16 % of total those emissions. This is largely driven by the increasing number of the vehicles, especially passenger cars and motorcycles, which comprise the majority of the global vehicle fleet. Therefore, many countries are implementing policies to phase out fossil fuel vehicles and promote the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). However, several key factors that influence the total cost of ownership (TCO) of vehicles should be considered, including energy cost, the manufacturer's suggested retail price, maintenance cost, insurance, tax, and battery replacement cost. This study aims to calculate and compare the TCO of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and EV for both passenger cars and motorcycles in five key countries in ASEAN: namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Viet Nam. The findings found that the comparative TCO of EV and ICE vehicles varies across ASEAN countries due to differences in energy costs, government policies, and market maturity for EVs. Additionally, the EV sample vehicles were selected based on 2023 data, as new EV models continue to penetrate the market year after year. However, the results underscore the importance of government policies and measures in promoting the adoption of EVs, particularly in terms of their environmental benefits and contribution to sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49209,"journal":{"name":"Energy for Sustainable Development","volume":"85 ","pages":"Article 101650"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143102043","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 article formulates a set of dynamic differential games to examine how trade-in subsidy, repurchase and wholesale price, delay effect, technology level, market share impacts the promotion of trade-in strategy and the total profit for the NEV-M and PB-M. Three game modes are investigated including the non-cooperative mode, collaborative cooperation mode, and particularly bilateral incentive mode that is widely applied in developing countries. The research finds that: (1) The impact of the trade-in subsidy on overall profit initially increases then decreases. The NEV-M achieves optimal profitability with a smaller trade-in subsidy compared to PB-M. (2) The trade-in subsidy, NEV retail price, and S-PB repurchase price exert positive influences on market demand, whereas the PB wholesale price exhibits a negative impact. (3) The delay effect would stimulate R&amp;D, promotion effort, technology level and market demand for the trade-in initiative, while suppressing overall profits of the NEV-m and PB-M in collaborative cooperation mode.

Indonesia, a country endowed with abundant renewable energy resources, including solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, has set an ambitious target to increase the renewable energy share to 23 % by 2025 and 31 % by 2050, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2060. However, providing electricity to over 17,508 islands (of which about 77 % are considered small islands) presents technical, logistical, and environmental challenges. This study conducts a life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) on solar PV systems for a small island in Indonesia with an area of approximately 27.65 km², assessing two end-of-life (EOL) strategies: landfilling and recycling, thereby addressing a significant gap in sustainable energy deployment for small islands. Using the ReCiPe method in SimaPro, findings indicate that recycling reduces environmental impacts by 25 % over landfilling in the following endpoint categories: human health and ecosystem burdens. Sensitivity analysis suggests that placing recycling facilities nearer to Medang Island could further cut impacts by 84 %, highlighting transport's major role in EOL management's environmental footprint. These results advocate for localized recycling infrastructure, improved transport strategies, and tax incentives to enhance the sustainability of solar PV deployment not only in Indonesian island settings but also similar small-island communities worldwide. This study adds value by highlighting the importance of EOL considerations in renewable energy planning for small islands, contributing to broader sustainability goals and informing policy decisions. Future research should refine recycling technologies and explore alternative fuels to minimize solar energy's environmental impacts. Limitations due to reliance on general databases and data assumptions underscore the need for further work to improve life cycle assessment (LCA) reliability in small island applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49209,"journal":{"name":"Energy for Sustainable Development","volume":"85 ","pages":"Article 101651"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143101914","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}

Renewable energy technology will play the primary role in decarbonising the energy sector. However, transitioning from a carbon-intensive energy system to a renewable energy system is not smooth in developing countries, particularly for small island states (SIDS), which face several challenges in transitioning to a net-zero economy. The lack of access to finance and the unaffordable cost of finance are two key challenges to adopting RE technologies in SIDS. In this paper, we have suggested financial solutions that can address access to and cost of finance essential for Pacific Island Countries (PICs) to meet their net-zero goals while meeting other social goals. Under Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), PICs require a commitment of large capital to sustainably develop renewable energy infrastructure to harness the region's economic prosperity. However, the region's poor economic status, small domestic financial market, limited institutional capacity, and small size of renewable energy projects make it economically unviable for private investors to invest in renewable energy infrastructure in PICs. The paper recommends financing solutions to de-risk renewable energy financing in the region and make it attractive for domestic and international private financiers. The paper is the first to present an array of financial solutions to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy technologies to reduce carbon emissions in the region while meeting their SDGs, including climate action (SDG 7), sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), and affordable and clean energy (SDG 13).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49209,"journal":{"name":"Energy for Sustainable Development","volume":"85 ","pages":"Article 101642"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143101916","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}
