Abstract: This study analysed energy consumption and climate change in SSA to validate the Environmental Kuznet Curve (EKC) theory. This study included multiple econometric tests, Autoregressive Distributed Lagged model (ARDL), Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) regression analysis and Granger Causality Test. In the long run, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Electricity consumption (ELE) have a positive and significant relationship with climate change, measured by carbon dioxide emissions, while Fossil energy consumption (FOS) and Renewable Energy Consumption (REN) do not. ELE has a positive relationship with climate change as assessed by carbon dioxide emissions, while FOS and REN have a negative association. Only the ELE and FOS coefficients are significant at 5%. Since fossil fuels and renewable energy do not contribute to long-term climate change, energy consumption patterns have started to reflect their environmental policies. More eco-friendly techniques are needed to reduce electricity's environmental impact. The EKC theory found that SSA countries are evolving so that economic growth's negative effects on climate change will be reversed. The study advises policymakers to adopt renewable energy to cut carbon dioxide emissions.

Abstract: Physical safety is not only about the actual safety of humans but also their mental health and calmness. The article examines the key drivers of people's physical safety, well-being and satisfaction with life. The study covers seven Central European countries during 2011-2018. The random effects estimations for the panel data are used for empirical estimations. The study found that crime/violence, unemployment and noise from neighbours negatively impact individuals' physical safety. The empirical results proved that an increase in median income by 1000 euros in Central European states promotes an increase in life expectancy by 0.7 years. However, if unemployment rises by 10%, the decline in life expectancy would range from 0.7 to 1.19 years. The paper proves that the marriage factors like indicators of moral factors are an inevitable part of a healthy society. Noise from the neighbours is considered to be an object of irritation and reduces the level of physical safety of EU citizens. Thus, governments need to stay on top of the problems mentioned above to cope with them.

Abstract: Innovations are an integral part of the modern global economy. The purpose of this research is to investigate impact of innovations and intellectualisation on sustainable national development. Based on the World Bank sets, two models with panel data from selected economies (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Poland, Romania, Moldova, the Slovak Republic, Ukraine and Uzbekistan) in 2006-2018 were built. Using random-effects GLS regression it was proved that factors of intellectualisation and innovations (both exogenous and endogenous) increase the level of economic growth. Empirical results proved that intellectualisation of the economy of endogenous origin is one of the stimulators of improving the environmental situation (when there is an increase in the number of researchers in the country by 100 people, the amount of carbon dioxide per capita decreases by 84-131 kg), while exogenous intellectualisation turned out to be a statistically insignificant factor. The paper proved several decarbonisation drivers, which include energy efficiency and life expectancy. Following the results, policy recommendations were provided and indicated the importance of national education development and innovation fostering. This can be achieved by revising learning standards according to market requirements, retraining educators and using a competence-based approach.

Abstract: This paper presents a new indicator which measure energy poverty (as energy justice component) called Modified Energy Poverty Index (MOEPI). It is a composite index and developed based on United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) methodology. MOEPI defines energy poverty as three dimensions conjunction: excessive energy inconvenience, energy deficit and equipment energy (in)efficiency. It captures energy deficit effect on education and include energy acquisition cost in energy inconvenience assessment. MOEPI is implemented on a sample of 640 households in Benin. Results showed 65.15% energy poor households surveyed. Energy poor are divided into three sub-groups, slightly energy poor (6%), moderate energy poor (53%) and severe energy poor (41%). Energy deficit and equipment energy inefficiency are the main dimensions responsible for household energy poverty. An improvement in equipment energy efficiency resulted in a 32.02% decrease in the number of energy poor households.

Abstract: Despite the abundance of oil and gas reserves in the Kurdistan region, a critical challenge persists in fully meeting the region's electricity demand. Local investors, recognising the daily shortfall of electricity in homes lasting six to eight hours, have introduced diesel generators to bridge the gap. Presently, each neighbourhood relies on multiple diesel generators to address the electricity deficit. However, these local generators pose significant issues, including inadequate power supply, substantial pollution, noise emissions, high-fuel consumption and an unsightly appearance. Given the region's suitability for renewable energy, coupled with the intermittent nature of electricity demand, there arises a logical opportunity to develop a service as an alternative to local generators. This paper aims to explore the viability of such a service, intending to replace local diesel generators with a renewable energy solution. The study undertakes the following tasks: (i) conducting a life cycle assessment of local diesel generators to evaluate their environmental impact, cost-effectiveness and social acceptability, (ii) assessing the potential of Sulaymaniyah for renewable energy applications, particularly solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and wind turbines and (iii) incorporating a neighbourhood survey in Sulaymaniyah to gauge resident opinions and reactions toward the proposed renewable energy service.

Abstract: This study examined the trade-offs among energy, the economy, amenity and education concerning the implementation of renewable energy in Indonesia. The objective was to offer a comprehensive understanding of the economic and environmental advantages associated with renewable energy and to investigate the role of education in fostering social acceptance. The data was obtained by conducting a survey among local tourists at Pangandaran Beach in Indonesia, using random sampling techniques. The research assesses the level of acceptance regarding the potential integration of wind turbines, consistent with the national energy system development policy. The results show that there is a well-informed stakeholder group who have positive toward the deployment of wind turbines. Meanwhile, some objections were raised against visual impacts, but most tourists felt that wind turbine deployment would not inconvenience or have major impacts on marine ecosystems. Furthermore, this study discussed the challenges related to stakeholder engagement in energy policy development. It also provided a contrast by comparing findings from other countries and identified potential knowledge gaps specific to the Indonesian case.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to reveal the effect of oil prices and exchange rates on food prices in OECD countries. Food prices are usually determined by the exchange rate of the currency or either oil prices. Therefore, this paper questions the food price-exchange rate-oil prices trilemma by presenting empirical evidence from a panel of 38 OECD countries. ARDL bounds test and Granger causality methods were used for empirical analysis. Results suggest the increase in food prices in sample countries is associated with the exchange rate and energy prices. The exchange rate effect should be considered an important parameter in terms of energy costs and global food inflation. According to Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality tests results there is a strong bidirectional causality relationship between food prices and crude oil prices and exchange rates. These results indicate that exchange rates and crude oil prices are important variables that determine food prices.

Abstract: Maharashtra is the second-largest and prominent state in India with an industrial and service sector economy consuming 12% of India's electricity. This paper forecasts electricity demand for 2030 using Long Range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) and generates seven electricity scenarios. The study utilises the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) algorithm for priority setting, employing a three-level hierarchical structure. Scenarios are ranked based on four main criteria and 25 sub-criteria, incorporating inputs from three stakeholder groups: electricity planners, utility officers and end users. The preferred scenario is Business as Usual (BAU), followed by the Energy Conservation (EC) scenario. Sensitivity analysis studies explore future implications for the identified scenarios. While the Least Cost Scenario (LCS) and Zero Emission Scenario (ZES) are highly desirable, the addition of significant infrastructure remains a concern for these scenarios.

Abstract: The volume-based natural gas measurement system not only fails to accurately reflect the value of natural gas but also hinders fair trading and the long-term development of the market. This paper proposes specific implementation schemes for energy measurement systems from three aspects. It presents two methods for converting natural gas prices from volume measurement to energy measurement and three selection methods for reference heating values, resulting in a total of six combined implementation schemes. Taking a certain operational long-distance pipeline as an example, a simulation model is established using SPS to investigate the impact of the transition from a volume-based metering system to an energy-based metering system on the economic benefits of pipeline operator.
