Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess the nexus between governance and renewable energy consumption in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Design/methodology/approach focus on 44 countries SSA with data from 1996 2016. empirical evidence based Tobit regressions. Findings It apparent findings that political institutional are negatively related sampled countries. unexpected clarified policy implic...

Deforestation shows the constant environmental degradation that occurs worldwide as a result of growth economic activity and increase in population. This research examines causal link between renewable energy consumption, GDP, GDP2, non-renewable price, population forest area high, middle- low-income countries. Based on data obtained from World Development Indicators, autoregressive distributed...

The expansion of renewable energies triggers problems in today’s energy system, which cause increasing demand for flexibility. Demand Side Management (DSM) supports the integration of renewable energy sources into the energy system. To examine the DSM potential for relevant household appliances (here: dishwasher, washing machine, dryer) precisely, their characteristics, i. e. load profile, time...

Buildings account for almost 40% of energy consumption in European countries and hence are responsible for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions. Recent regulations and standards (Minergie, Minergie P, etc.) are strongly encouraging more sustainable buildings by decreasing energy consumption and integrating more renewable energy sources. It is essential, in such a context, to evaluate ...

There has been an increase in the use of renewable energy sources over recent years, which led to a strand literature examining determinants consumption. However, most research used linear estimation models while reviewing consumption and ignored indirect effect democratic institutions on With panel threshold model, this paper demonstrates that play significant role In countries rights people a...

the aim of this paper is to assess the adaptation of iran’s energy policies to the kyoto protocol. in the past two decades, iran has experienced a considerable increase in greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions; in 2013 it was the world’s ninth largest emitter. although adapting to this protocol in iran’s energy and climate policies seems vital and urgent, its recent status is not promising. this paper...
