“…Analysis of energy demand and production projections on a national scale with a case study in Pakistan [47] and analysis of emission reductions on a regional scale with a case study in Punjab, India [48] have been conducted using LEAP. Moreover, LEAP can be used to analyze sectoral energy systems, such as the role of solar collectors in reducing emissions in the industrial [49] and commercial [50] sectors. In the development of the green transportation sector, LEAP has also been implemented in economic and environmental analysis [51].…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected all activities, including the electricity supply. As a developing nation, Indonesia is also severely affected by the diversion of significant resources to combat Covid-19. On the other hand, Indonesia is committed to reducing emissions in the energy sector, which includes implementing renewable energy technologies to provide electricity. This article examines the effect of the post-covid-19 pandemic situation on the implementation of renewable energy in the electricity supply. The case study examined is the electricity supply in the province of Yogyakarta, which obtains its electricity from outside the province but has multiple forms of renewable energy that can be optimized in the electricity supply. There are three scenarios discussed: the current target scenario, the lower target scenario, and the supply security scenario. The current target scenario includes predetermined renewable energy goals. The lower target scenario is used to characterize Covid-19's impact on the implementation of renewable energy. The supply security scenario is the most optimistic, as it optimizes the use of renewable energy in the electricity supply while ignoring the impact of the co-19 pandemic. The current target scenario is used as a benchmark against which the other two scenarios are compared. Comparing the lower target scenario to the current target scenario, the lower target scenario results in 9.6% lower capital costs and 4.1% higher greenhouse gas emissions. The least greenhouse gas emissions are produced by the supply security scenario, but the capacity costs are the highest.

“…Most studies aiming to validate the results of such projects are related to financial impacts and environmental indicators (Han et al, 2020; or assessment of the user satisfaction with renewable energy technologies (Ding et al, 2021(Ding et al, , 2022Mirza, 2015). Another research field associates the use of renewable technologies, especially PV, with the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), emissions and air quality improvement (Acosta-Pazmiño et al, 2021;Brunet et al, 2021;Papadopoulou et al, 2019).…”

Motivated by initiatives such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly SDG 1 - Poverty Eradication and SDG 7 - Clean and Accessible Energy, the search for solutions aiming to mitigate poverty has been recurrent in several studies. This paper main objective is to evaluate the dynamics of global research on the use of photovoltaic projects for poverty alleviation (PVPA) from 2003 to 2022. We use a bibliometric analysis to identify publication patterns and consequently list research trends and gaps of the area. A total of 336 publications from Scopus database are identified and complemented by a state-of-the-art study, where the articles are investigated and classified according to: business model and financing and evaluation of PVPA results. The results show that PA is often associated with PV power and its application in rural areas. “Biomass” and “application in developing countries” have become a trend. Urban areas application, aiming to reduce poverty, and the need for a synergetic integration of energy and urban planning, to mitigate the risks associated with energy flow and efficiency, are the most relevant gaps identified. Most of the publications focus on macropolicies effects involving PV technology; papers on projects construction and ex-post are not identified.

“…In recent decades, there has been increasing interest in using renewable energy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon footprints. In 2018, 81% of the world's energy was produced from fossil sources, and it is estimated that energy consumption will increase by 48% by 2040 [1]. Furthermore, Latin America has a population of approximately 662 million people, with a clear positive trend in its growth [2].…”

“…Rational and Efficient Energy Use Program defined several National Energy Plan 2020-2050 targets that could encourage the use of solar thermal energy. These include(1) expanding the use of non-conventional renewable energy sources in the primary energy supply, (2) reducing the proportion of firewood in the residential sector, and (3) lowering greenhouse gas emissions.•The anticipated rise in energy demand due to economic growth and enhanced climate change mitigation efforts may encourage investment in renewable energy projects.• Because 1.5 million rural Colombian households use firewood for cooking, creating a government program or public policy to replace wood-burning stoves with solar stoves would be beneficial. • Because 74.5% of Colombian houses lack a sanitary water heater, installing flat solar systems would be a great way to meet this requirement, particularly in cold-climate areas without access to alternative energy sources (more than 1.3 million households).…”

Colombia has made different efforts to contribute to fulfilling its international commitments to curb climate change by reducing emissions and promoting technological development and project financing. However, the existing policies and regulatory framework primarily focus on promoting the photovoltaic industry for electricity production. Likewise, the energy sector has neglected the potential of solar thermal energy as a heat source. In this sense, it is necessary to redouble efforts through new public policies that integrate solar thermal energy in the residential and productive sectors. Using solar thermal energy for heating can contribute to the energy transition and meet its sustainable development goals. Therefore, the main objective of this work was to analyze Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats to determine the potential application of thermal solar heat in Colombia while considering the local context. Factors such as their environmental conditions, policies, and regulations; the existence of international agreements; and their political status in general were analyzed. The analysis revealed Colombia’s significant solar heat potential, enabling over 1.3 million cold-climate households to access hot water or reduce firewood use. Industrially, applying solar heat in 5% of the current industry could decrease fossil fuel consumption by 13 PJ. The findings highlight that Colombia’s potential in thermal solar energy necessitates collaborative efforts, legislative reinforcement, climate-adaptive measures, and the resolution of political and social challenges.
