“…The authors found this procedure to have significant advantages. Most studies exclusively cover electricity generation, while only three studies combine electricity generation with electric vehicles and/or green hydrogen [33,46,48]. Table 6 summarizes the types of RES covered in the literature.…”

“…The most frequent pollutants considered in the studies are Sulfur Dioxide (SO 2 ), Oxides of Nitrogen (NO x ), and Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ), combined with other pollutants. In relation to the less-mentioned pollutants, we have Mercury [40]; Ozone (O 3 ) [31,38]; Ammonia (NH 3 ) [43,46]; and Carbon Monoxide (CO) [40]. Methane (CH 4 ) and Nitrous Oxide (N 2 O) are only considered by Huang and Bagdon [43].…”
