“…The mean, median, and mode are the most basic statistical measures of the distribution of responses relating to the parameters of the six items representing GREEN consumer values for each renewable energy source. Furthermore, these are the criteria that determine whether the parametric test or a non-parametric test should be used [46,53,54]. It is known that if the mean, median, and mode are equal to each other, then the researcher should adopt the parametric test.…”

This article examines the acceptance of renewable energy in the adoption of the climate package, taking into account the GREEN consumer values among consumers in Poland. The research problem addressed in this paper relates to the measurement of consumer values in terms of the GREEN concept; specifically, consumer acceptance of the available offerings provided by real businesses. In addition, consumer needs are important in terms of ensuring the acceptance of renewable energy, which will create opportunities for its production in the context of the Fit 55 climate package. The study formulates some research questions and hypotheses to justify the concept with empirical data by applying statistical tests. The study is presented in several sections with a detailed presentation of secondary and primary data. The main outcome of the research is based on the primary data using a structured survey questionnaire administered in Poland and 557 collected samples. Nowadays, the responsibility also lies with consumers, as green consumption will entail green production. The research concludes that Poland’s consumers have a good level of acceptance of RES, based on the current green energy situation of Poland, which may lead to sustainability and will benefit policy makers in government, corporations and end consumers.

“…The city of Sunyani generates over 12,010 tons/day of waste (Anane, 2013). Like many Ghanaian cities, more than 60% of this waste is organic (Aboagye et al, 2021), and 55-80% of this waste is contributed by households (Miezah et al, 2015). Food waste has also been found to constitute more than 40% of all MSW generated in the city and similar cities in Ghana Miezah et al, 2015).…”

Due to an overburdened national grid, chronic energy challenges, and the growing municipal solid waste menace, a unique opportunity to deploy waste-to-energy technology in Ghana is apparent. A techno-economic analysis was performed for meeting the primary electrical load of selected blocks at the University of Energy and Natural Resources through Municipal Solid Waste gasification. Three scenarios were simulated and assessed based on their Net Present Costs (NPC) and Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE): a gasifier-standalone system, a grid-tied gasifier system and a grid-alone system. The grid-tied gasifier system was found to meet the 230.1kWh/day electrical load at the least NPC ($2, 049790.00) and COE ($0.09426/kWh). The sensitivity analysis showed that the load factor, sell-back price of electricity and cost/ton of MSW had the most impact on the NPC of the gasification system. MSW gasification is, therefore, an economically viable alternative if grid-integrated. Finally, the study showed that Feed-in Tariffs, plant siting and demand response strategies are crucial to ensuring the cost-effectiveness of gasification systems.

“…To date, many studies have been conducted on RESs for sustainable life, and researchers are continually exploring different aspects of such energy contributions [10,20]. The research is based on the core concept of sustainability and the requirements of solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and biomass as RESs.…”

Renewable energy consumption is the call by United Nation Sustainable Development Goals, and sustainable consumption is the only solution for the future. This study found that the solution to the framed problem has a requirement to categorize the green consumer value parameters in hierarchy of importance for five specific RESs and their alignment with environment policy based on a comparison of Poland and India. The study revealed the importance of each criterion for renewable energy sources providing, a comparative table of Poland and India. The methodological approach used secondary data for selecting countries, and primary data are used for statistical analysis of Automatic Linear Modelling. The research concludes that the CRITERIA4 is one of the most important that emerged with all five RESs for Poland and three RESs for India. Both countries are aligned with the UN sustainable development goals and are switching over to all means of sustainability. Poland scores a higher value of importance compared to India, which justifies the awareness of consumers.
