Solar and wind energy technologies, due to their nature of weather dependency, have been recognized as not the complete solution for renewable transition. Creating a short fall is empirical if we are remove dependency on fossil fuels reach net zero targets. The production hydrogen, biogas other gases can be produced sustainably, which also allow utilization waste materials or ability store greater positive impact our environment. However, these always transparent environmentally friendly perceived, so with aid certification blockchain, create system that guarantee origin, ultimately help assist transition greener future. This paper explores varying methods, consideration environmental impact, implications use certificates blockchain monitor production, trade usage.

Although complementarity achieved by combining multiple renewable energy sources (RES) is an important method to increase shares of RES, it often overlooked in policy prescriptions supporting transition. Complementarity can be implemented actors, however there has been little attention which actors are involved, and their roles. A systematic review was conducted provide overview the state academic literature on topic combinations RES involvement associated actors. The sample included 78 articles using a range methodologies analyze varying wind, solar, bioenergy, hydro, geothermal, ocean energy, alongside traditional, new, Studies contextualized (location specific) agent-based, techno-economic, economic, business model, qualitative analyses, decontextualized reviews, optimization models.

The shift from large-scale centralised energy systems to smaller scale decentralised based on Distributed Energy Resources (DER) is likely cause a sector-wide replacement of current electricity management practices and business models—creating new paradigm. If handled well, such transition will not be inherently disruptive; however, it can major disruption if long-held views assumptions are rapidly reconsidered renewed, supporting structures swiftly put in place—hence, experienced due lack strategic responses rather than the nature technology. This paper clarifies DERs outlines key issues opportunities associated with range service configurations models. factors affecting viability approaches identifies leverage points for accelerating uptake. concludes by considering how shifting landscape related coming decades shape system. contains findings research performed at Renewable, Affordable, Clean Cooperative Research Centre (RACE CRC) Australia.
