“…The least ranked priority is job creation, with a weight of 0.163. The studies of Rahman et al [71] and Oryani et al [72] reported similar findings, indicating that capital cost is a key component in the evaluation of the socio-economic aspect of implementing waste-to-energy projects.…”

Application of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Process to Select Waste-to-Energy Technology in Developing Countries: The Case of Ghana

et al. 2021

Municipal solid waste (MSW) in the Accra region of Ghana has created the need for innovative ways to deal with waste management crises facing the city. The goal of this study is to use the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to select an appropriate waste-to-energy (WtE) technology for Accra. The AHP methodology is used to assess four WtE technologies, namely landfill biogas, incineration, anaerobic digestion, and aerobic composting. Three main criteria and nine sub-criteria are identified for pair-wise comparison and assessed by 10 experts. The results show that incineration is the most preferred technology, followed by anaerobic digestion and aerobic digestion, with landfilled gas being the least preferred technology. Stakeholders in waste management development in Ghana can utilize the findings of the study to develop implementation strategies for capacity and institutional capabilities for both thermochemical and biochemical processes in the country.

“…Yang and Park (2020) indicated the allocation of financial development from ODA or FDI sources for the renewable energy sector might be affected by policy mechanisms or corrupt factors that make it misused and ineffective; the same happens in the case of Pakistan (Shah et al 2019). The lack of investment by the private and state sectors is one of the reasons impeding renewable energy development in Iran (Oryani et al 2021). Another study showed that foreign direct investment could be used for clean energy projects to promote REC, but the impact is sometimes different.…”

“…The heterogeneous effect of financial development on REC depends on the region, period, and research method. Also, the high capital costs of renewable energy generation in the absence of appropriate financial support will make this process more difficult (Oryani et al 2021). Furthermore, implementing this study is necessary to illustrate it in the study region (Oryani et al 2021).…”

“…Their renewable energy investment projects are also expanding for underdeveloped nations (Lee and Shepley 2019;Kim et al 2021). Other studies showed that common barriers to REC adoption sources in Bangladesh, Egypt, Iran, and Nigeria are low public awareness, lack of social acceptance (Aliyu et al 2018;Bhuiyan et al 2021;Islam et al 2021;Oryani et al 2021), and shortage of qualified and skilled human resources (Kayahan Karakul 2016). In addition, the investment cost of this sector is considerable with a long return period.…”

The use of fossil fuels is a primary source of global warming owing to the greenhouse effect. Renewable energy is the best alternative environment-friendly energy source. Previous studies have highlighted the significant influence of financial development and education on renewable energy. However, the simultaneous effects of these two factors on renewable energy have rarely been examined, especially in emerging economies. This study employed dynamic seemingly unrelated cointegrating regression and the Dumitrescu-Hurlin causality test to analyze the effect of education and financial development on renewable energy consumption in N-11 countries during 1990-2016. Empirical results show that financial development significantly increased renewable energy use; however, education failed to make a positive difference. Additionally, bidirectional-and unidirectional causality was observed for financial development and education, respectively, toward renewable energy. This suggests that policymakers should combine financial development policies with education to improve the efficiency of renewable energy use.

“…Hence, energy efficiency is one of the most important measures to reduce the impact of climate change and to create a sustainable energy future [35,36]. Replacing fossil fuel infrastructure requires a combination of renewable energy development such as wind farms, solar panels, wind turbines, and hydroelectric power plants, which also requires a combined efforts of governments, stakeholders, and business enterprises, as well as strong public support [37][38][39][40].…”

Renewable Energy in the Sustainable Development of Electrical Power Sector: A Review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The electrical power sector plays an important role in the economic growth and development of every country around the world. Total global demand for electric energy is growing both in developed and developing economies. The commitment to the decarbonization of economies, which would mean replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources (RES) as well as the electrification of transport and heating as a means to tackle global warming and dangerous climate change, would lead to a surge in electricity consumption worldwide. Hence, it appears reasonable that the electric power sector should embed the principles of sustainable development into its functioning and operation. In addition, events such as the recent European gas crisis that have emerged as a result of the massive deployment of renewables need to be studied and prevented. This review aims at assessing the role of the renewable energy in the sustainable development of the electrical power sector, focusing on the energy providers and consumers represented both by businesses and households that are gradually becoming prosumers on the market of electric energy. Furthermore, it also focuses on the impact of renewables on the utility side and their benefits for the grid. In addition, it identifies the major factors of the sustainable development of the electrical power sector.
