While these studies did provide important insights into the household energy mix at global, regional, and country scales, one obvious limitation is that more homes in the real world use more than one energy type, which is recognized as multiple energy uses or energy stacking. Stacking is ...
Fuelwood is used by over 60 % of people living in the rural areas and 80 % of Nigerians as an energy source. Nigeria consumes over 50 million metric tons of fuel wood annually, which is a major cause of desertification and erosion in the country. The rural areas are generally ...
This paper examines the relationship among CO2 emissions, energy use, and GDP in Russia using annual data ranging from 1990 to 2020. We first conduct time-series analyses (stationarity, structural breaks, cointegration, and causality tests). Then, we per

The energy transition is a complex issue in Africa. Despite having contributed the least to fossil fuel emissions,[1] it is African countries that may feel the impact of climate change the most.[2] Moreover, many African states need to weigh up the benefits of transitioning to green energy...
in dry equatorial areas. Likewise, in17, the authors deduced that the mean degradation rates of mono-crystalline, multi-crystalline, amorphous silicon (a-Si) modules are 1.37, 1.44, 1.67 percent per year, respectively. The climate type in Ghana is generally tropical and humid with high ...
Hanergy Solar wasreportedlyworking on a 400 MW solar power project in Ghana. Last year, the President of Ghanaannouncedthat the levy on petroleum products will be increased to $0.02 per litre. A part of the revenue raised from this levy will be used to establish the Renewable Energy Fund. ...
that renewable energy will be the fastest-growing energy source over the next two decades [3]. Biomass accounts for more than one-third of primary energy. Concerns about global climate change, acid rain, air pollution from the use of fossil fuels, and advancements in biomass technology have ...
The finding can be explained by the resource curse hypothesis, which specifies that when a country has abundant natural resources, it can fall into a resource curse trap due to the quality of institutions and environment existing in the country. This finding aligns with the (Shittu et al., 20...
Wind farms have proven to be the most promising solution at present for the rapid expansion of electricity generation from renewable energy sources, while the importance of solar photovoltaics is increasing over the years, reaching the 43% share of electricity generation from RES in 2050. Moreover...
