Sustainable Energy Transition for Renewable and Low Carbon Grid ... frontiersin.org Mar 23, 2022 22 facts
claimA sustainable energy transition requires addressing energy sources, conversion, transmission, and consumption, specifically targeting heat and power production and transport-related fuel use.
claimA sustainable energy transition must address five major dimensions: technical, social, economic, environmental, and institutional.
claimA sustainable energy transition system must be driven by the climate change agenda, technology developments and innovation, increased energy efficiency, competitive economies, enhanced energy security, the development of affordable energy solutions, and the modernization of the energy sector from traditional systems.
claimRealizing a sustainable energy transition requires appropriate policy frameworks, attractive pricing for investors and consumers, and a facilitating regulatory environment.
claimMost existing studies on sustainable energy transition focus narrowly on the environmental dimension of sustainability, or on the three pillars of economic, environmental, and social dimensions.
claimA sustainable energy transition involves increasing energy efficiency to reduce total demand and wastage of fossil fuels in an optimized system where the grid absorbs all variable renewables.
claimBroad strategies for sustainable energy transition include the liberalization and restructuring of electricity and energy markets, driven by growing global energy demand.
claimThe governance of sustainable energy transformation is achieved by setting and implementing policies and regulations, with different political institutions influencing governance choices.
claimA sustainable energy transition requires the integration of social, environmental, economic, technical, and political/institutional dimensions.
claimThe political or institutional dimension of energy sustainability is concerned with the governance of sustainable energy transformation at all levels.
claimThe sustainable energy transition involves more than technical infrastructure; it drives the emergence of innovative business models, new organizational practices, reassigned responsibilities, reorganized governance, and redistributed power structures.
procedureSustainable energy transition measures include shifting from fossil fuels to renewable and low-carbon sources, implementing efficient conversion technologies, electrifying transport using renewable electricity, and adopting energy conservation measures to eliminate unnecessary demand.
claimThe article 'Sustainable Energy Transition for Renewable and Low Carbon Grid Electricity Generation and Supply' was authored by M.J.B. Kabeyi and O.A. Olanrewaju.
claimEffective sustainable energy transition requires political will from nations and groups that have the power to influence energy policy, according to Kabeyi (2019a).
perspectiveA sustainable energy transition requires consideration of social, technical, economic, political, and institutional dimensions to successfully shift to a low-carbon economy and electricity system.
claimThe selection criteria for developing a sustainable energy transition should encompass environmental, technical, social, institutional, and economic dimensions of sustainability.
claimSustainable energy transition strategies typically involve three major technological changes: energy savings on the demand side, generation efficiency at the production level, and the substitution of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources and low-carbon nuclear power.
claimThe electrification of transport, powered by electricity from low-carbon and green sources, is a strategy for the sustainable energy transition.
claimSustainable energy transition is motivated by the need to increase the use of renewable and low carbon clean energy sources, specifically solar, wind, biomass, hydro, and nuclear power, as noted by Rathor and Saxena (2020a) and Nguyen et al. (2020).
claimSustainable energy transition strategies include the electrification of thermal applications and households, the implementation of smart grids, energy storage for variable renewables, carbon capture and sequestration, cogeneration, and energy efficiency measures to limit consumption and wastage.
claimA sustainable energy transition requires governments to implement policy instruments and effective institutional mechanisms to deliver solutions for a sustainable energy future.
claimA sustainable energy transition requires the design of an appropriate market structure to ensure proper performance of the energy sector regarding prices, energy efficiency, supply, and technological innovation.
