Just transition towards defossilised energy systems for developing economies: A case study of Ethiopia

Design Optimization and Comparative Analysis of 100% Renewable Energy Systems for Residential Communities in Typical Areas of China When Considering Environmental and Economic Performance

“…Jacobson et al [9] analyzed a to achieve 100% renewable energy supply in the United States by 2050 by considerin renewable energy distribution in 50 states. Strategies were designed for achieving renewable energy in Ethiopia [10], Ghana [11], Bolivia [12], Philippines, Jordan [13 Iran [14]. The findings demonstrated that it is possible to realize a 100% RES in m countries through reasonable planning and design.…”

Affordable clean energy transition in developing countries: Pathways and technologies

“…However, developing countries will aim to attain industrialization with low-carbon energy sources. Owing to the diversity in objectives for high-income and low-income nations, there are several calls for a just transition : giving safe allowances to each category to ease the socio-economic shocks that could arise from the ambitious commitments to migrate to low-carbon energy sources ( Oyewo et al., 2021 ). Furthermore, the effects of climate change also require that the new energy systems are not only reliable, but also resilient to high-impact environmental events.…”

Contextualizing the scope, scale, and speed of energy pathways toward sustainable development in Africa

“… Hansen et al. (2019) and Oyewo et al. (2021) review the state-of-the-art highly renewable energy system analyses in highlighting the lack of respective analyses in Africa.…”

“…Recognizing the link between energy and socio-economic development, many African countries aim to increase investments in RE sources to curb the energy crisis and susceptibility to climate change ( Oyewo et al., 2021 ; Guan et al., 2021 ; IEA, 2019 ). Despite access to abundant energy resources, Africa is still unable to utilize these enormous resources for optimal economic development ( IEA, 2019 ).…”

“…So far, Africa is one of the major regions in the world with limited research contextualizing energy pathways toward sustainable development through scenarios analyzing the contingencies and complexities of carbon-neutral and carbon-intensive pathway options. Furthermore, studies on RE transitions have mainly focused on the Global North, whereas comparative studies on fully RE transition and supportive RE policies for the Global South, especially for Africa, are rare ( Hansen et al., 2019 ; Müller et al., 2020 ; Oyewo et al., 2021 ). This limited research creates less support for policymakers when designing future RE policy frameworks.…”
