German transmission system operators received around 400 GW of battery storage connection requests in 2024, an enormous increase from the current 2.3 GW installed capacity. However, uncertainty remains regarding the impa...

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, often referred to as the “Third Pole” and the “Asian Water Tower”, plays a pivotal role in global climate regulation due to its exceptional carbon sequestration capacity. Recent evide...

Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) are pivotal in addressing the escalating energy and environmental challenges of hot climates, where extreme cooling demands and reliance on fossil fuels intensify carbon footprints. T...

Environmental sustainability transitions require robust indicator-based evidence to evaluate how technological, financial, and governance factors shape progress toward carbon neutrality. However, the environmental sustai...

ABSTRACT Background Halfway through the final decade of actions towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), progress toward SDG7 is off track. It is estimated that by 2030, 660 million people, mainly rural pop...

Abstract This study investigates the structural determinants of agricultural sustainability by analyzing the long-run effects of institutional quality, oil consumption, information and communication technology (ICT), agr...

This study evaluates the cost implications of green building practices in low-rise residential housing by analyzing three sample houses in Kayseri, Türkiye. It compares traditional construction systems with green altern...

The success of energy transitions in coal-dependent economies, such as South Africa, is critical not only for reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) on affordable ...

This study explores the opportunities and challenges facing African businesses in contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals within the frameworks of Agenda 2030 and Agenda 2063, ...

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) reduces power system inertia, causing severe frequency excursions following disturbances. Conventional Automatic Generation Control (AGC) using fixed-gain cont...

Abstract Building energy consumption is dominated by lighting and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, whose operation is often inefficient due to inadequate control strategies and unreliable occupa...

Abstract The accelerating consumption of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) has led to rapid growth in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), which is currently the fastest-growing waste stream worldwid...

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plays a vital role in the global food system, yet questions about its nutrition, safety, and sustainability continue to spark debate. This review takes a fresh, integrative approach, co...

With the advancement of urbanization, the intensification of urban population agglomeration has been associated with a gradual decline in the quality of urban ecological systems in many cases. Urban ecological resilience...

This comprehensive review examines the synergistic integration of climate mitigation strategies and circular economy (CE) principles as a pathway toward achieving global carbon neutrality. While traditional mitigation me...

Abstract With the increasing penetration of power electronic devices in power systems, virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technology has garnered widespread attention for its ability to provide inertia and damping suppo...

The high population growth rate, the accelerated industrialization and unpredictability of oil prices in the world have considerably raised the energy demand which has enhanced the necessity of alternative and sustainabl...

Abstract Purpose This study examines the demographic, spatial, and economic determinants of household access to electricity in Nigeria, a country characterized by persistent energy poverty and pronounced infrastructure i...
