In 2021, the share of renewable energy generation in Germany’s gross electricity consumption was 41.1% (German Government Environment Agency2022b). Onshore and offshore wind energy has the largest share among the renewable energy resources, followed by bioenergy, solar energy, and hydropower. Howev...
Today, the benefits of globalization are not for granted: techno-nationalism is emerging as a defining feature of our time, as the US-China geopolitical competition is affecting global supply chains, such as the semiconductor industry, and casting concerns on critical minerals as well with China d...
The sustainable development of a country is closely linked to the utilization of renewable energy resources (RES) at its disposal [1]. RES provide not only an important source of employment, wealth and profits to the country, but also play a critical role in building a sustainable and modern...
Cost-efficiency and public acceptance are competing objectives for onshore wind locations. The impact of ‘scenicness’ on these two objectives has been difficult to quantify for wind projects. We analyse the link between economic wind resources and beau
Sandstone materials have widely been employed as building and carving stones in southwestern China. They not only provide resources for us, but they also preserve cultural value for future generations. However, there are susceptible to weathering damage due to the local hot and humid environment [1...

The northern coastal region of the South China Sea (SCS) is the key area for wave energy research and application. Planning for wave energy resources and equipment development depends on the accurate assessment of energy distribution and variation characteristics. Based on in situ observation data fo...
Research on the combined assessment of wind and wave resources, especially in tropical cyclone (TC) affected area is still rare. This study is to assess the potential combined wind and wave energy in the coastal waters of China, where TCs frequently occurred. The study utilizes the blended ...
