Abstract

A recent study conducted by researchers at Swansea University in the United Kingdom explores the interlinkages between carbon risk and the volatility of the renewable energy sector. The study utilizes a time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) and an extended joint connectedness approach to analyze these connections. The findings indicate that the COVID-19 crisis led to a peak in system-wide dynamic connectedness in early 2020. The research suggests that these findings can inform policy decisions to mitigate rapid fluctuations in carbon prices, protect against systemic financial risks in the renewable energy sector, and ensure a stable green energy supply.

Abstract

Global warming, climate change, and resource depletion have forced us to reconsider energy usage and efficiencies over the last few decades. Residential and commercial buildings are both large energy consumers, so improving energy and material usage efficiency in this sector is a common research topic. According to a recent study, the Building Sector (BS) accounts for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. The primary objective of this paper is to examine and assess the potential of Renewable Energy Systems (RES) and their combinations for enhancing energy efficiency in the BS. Specifically, the focus will be on converting low energy-efficient buildings into highly efficient ones. The potential of the RES and their combinations for the BS is evaluated based on payback durations, energy generation, and reduction of CO 2 emissions. The optimization flow charts for the RES, feasibility studies, commercialization road maps of energy storage systems and the necessity of control mechanisms for enhancing RES efficiency were discussed. Additionally, the technology drawbacks are discussed, along with various innovative techniques recommended to direct future study in this area. Finally, this article assists the audience clear idea in the selection of the right combination of potential RES based on different conditions to achieve deep decarbonization in BSs. • Buildings sector (BS) responsible for 40% of GHG emissions. • Study assesses potential of Renewable Energy System (RES) in BS. • RES evaluated on payback, energy generation, and CO 2 reduction. • Optimization, feasibility and commercialization studies were discussed. • Article recommends right RES combinations for deep decarbonization in BS.

Abstract

This article examines the environmental impact of dialysis treatment for kidney failure and explores strategies to reduce its carbon footprint. Dialysis is a crucial treatment for many patients, but it contributes to carbon emissions through water usage, energy consumption, waste generation, and procurement practices. The article emphasizes the need for more sustainable dialysis practices and highlights the reciprocal relationship between climate change and healthcare. It also discusses the challenges of estimating carbon emissions in dialysis and the efforts being made to develop more environmentally friendly practices. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Researchers at Nottingham Trent University have conducted a study on the challenges and opportunities of using domestic solar energy systems in Jordan. The study collected qualitative and quantitative data from an online survey with 366 participants to investigate Jordanian consumers' energy consumption behavior and perception of renewables. The results showed that financial affordability and awareness are crucial factors for utilizing renewables, and current users of solar systems reported increased satisfaction. The researchers suggest that expanding the promotion process of solar energy and subsidizing the cost could enhance public engagement and decrease carbon emissions. [Extracted from the article]
