Thirdly, competition for water between industries, energy, domestic use and irrigation is expected to increase the stress onwater availability. Water scarcity would be a critical impediment to supplying Africa's growing energy needs with hydropower. According to projections, the African population will ...
To achieve these objectives, the study will address the research questions: (i) how do renewable energy consumption and economic growth relate in Africa in both the short-run and the long-run?, (ii) what is the nature of the relationship between environmental sustainability and economic growth ...
Over the past several decades, sustained economic growth has led to a surge in energy consumption inNortheast Asia, most notably, in China,JapanandSouth Korea. However, domestic supply has failed to meet the demand in energy, leading to two related outcomes: First, the widening gap between pro...

The worldwide growth of variable renewable power sources necessitates power system flexibility to safeguard the reliability of electricity supply. Yet today, flexibility is mostly delivered by fossil fuel power plants. Hydropower can be a renewable alternative source of flexibility, but only if operated...
In his speech, the president encouraged other countries to also take advantage of the renewable energy revolution and set up sustainable growth patterns that could enhance a green recovery of the global economy in the post-COVID-19 era.
china is propelling the ascent of emerging markets in renewable energy growth . china recorded the largest solar and wind growth and total installed capacities in 2017 and is the only market above 100 gw for both sources. china alone accounted for over half of new solar capacity installations as...

With fast population and income growth across Africa, the continent's demand for energy, one of the essential requirements for socio-economic development, is set to increase significantly and play a progressively larger part in global energy consumption [1], [2], [3], [4]. At present, the...
On the path to climate neutrality, global production locations and trade patterns of basic materials might change due to the heterogeneous availability of renewable electricity. Here we estimate the ‘renewables pull’, that is, the energy-cost savings,
