Sustainable energy in Zimbabwe - status, challenges and solutions

Joseph Akpan, Hagreaves Kumba, Oludolapo Akanni Olanrewaju · 1 Jul 2024

A potential solution to Zimbabwe's energy issues could be harnessed from the country's growing interest in renewable energy systems (RES) for use in industry. Energy security, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and promotion of sustainable industrial growth could be achieved by tapping into the nation's abundant renewable resources, which include hydroelectric power, solar power, and…

Valorization of lignocellulosic biomass: Progress in the production of second-generation bioethanol

Yitong Niu, Natra Joseph, Tannimalay Hemashini et al. · 1 Jul 2024

Cellulosic ethanol, a biofuel product derived from microbial fermentation of cellulose-rich agricultural waste biomass, holds the potential to significantly contribute to sustainable development, energy security, and environmental friendliness as a green and renewable alternative energy source. Cellulosic ethanol offers remarkable energy benefits and carbon emission reductions. However, the biorefining process of cellulosic ethanol faces challenges…

Inspection techniques in photovoltaic power plants: A review of electroluminescence and photoluminescence imaging

Alberto Redondo‐Plaza, Ángel Zorita-Lamadrid, Víctor Alonso‐Gómez et al. · 1 Jul 2024

The growth of photovoltaic power plants in both size and number has spurred the development of new approaches in inspection techniques. The most commonly employed methods include visual inspections, current-voltage measurements, infrared thermography, and luminescence imaging. Luminescence, rooted in the electromagnetic radiation capture of semiconductor structures that make up solar cells, proves effective in detecting…

Life cycle assessment of a virtual power plant: Evaluating the environmental performance of a system utilising solar photovoltaic generation and batteries

Isabella Pimentel Pincelli, Jim Hinkley, Alan C. Brent · 1 Jul 2024

As the world shifts to renewable energy sources to mitigate climate change, virtual power plants (VPPs) have emerged as an innovative solution for integrating distributed renewable generation. This study conducted a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for a 40 MW VPP in operation in Aotearoa New Zealand, comprising residential solar photovoltaic systems with battery storage.…

Renewable energy integration in South Africa: A system dynamics comparison with global trends

Gontse S. Mathibedi, Kgabo Mokgohloa, Tumelo Seadira et al. · 1 Jul 2025

South Africa's energy system faces severe challenges, including persistent load-shedding since 2007, costing businesses USD 0.73 billion in 2015, and heavy coal reliance (72.7% of the energy mix), making it a top global carbon emitter. Population growth (73.9% since 1990) has driven a 52.8% rise in energy demand, exacerbating grid instability. The Integrated Resource Plan…

Renewable Energies template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Renewable Energies format?
