Advancing Sustainable Development Goals through energy access: Lessons from the Global South

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 199, P. 114457 - 114457

Published: May 8, 2024

Under the banner of United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7), governments, industry, and civil society organisations have supported many energy access projects since 2015. Notably, funding investments allotted to renewable are regarded not only provide 'energy for all' but also support delivery other SDGs related climate change, food security, health, poverty reduction, among others. With less than 10 years left meet SDG targets, it is timely take stock examine how provision driving development initiatives, impacting local communities, influencing governance processes. This paper offers a critical review analysis impact based on empirical work from eight country case studies across Africa, Asia, Latin America. It interrogates these contribute towards achieving sustainable goals, highlights challenges, then draws lessons research, policy, practice. To advance SDGs, recommends action in four areas: addressing rural-urban disparities, ensuring that linked outcomes, balancing top-down bottom-up agendas, appraising implications techno-economic factors.

Towards a Common Methodology and Modelling Tool for 100% Renewable Energy Analysis: A Review

Energies, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 16(18), P. 6598 - 6598

Published: Sept. 13, 2023

Some advanced countries’ rapid population, economic growth, and energy consumption expansion contribute significantly to global CO2 emissions. And while developed countries have achieved 100% universal access electricity, mainly from non-renewable sources, many developing still lack it. This presents challenges opportunities for achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7 13 of generating all cleaner or low-carbon sources reduce emissions in combating climate change consequences. Renewable energies been widely acknowledged greatly advance this endeavour, resulting studies about 30 already with over 70% their national electricity mix RE. It has birthed a new paradigm an emerging field RE purposes, recently receiving much attention academia public discourse. The major challenge idea is that such feat requires more diverse approach. study emphasises need meet technical non-technical requirements working towards purposes. Therefore, our work introduces six methodological evaluation mechanisms (herein, identified as metrics) suitable existing future renewable analysis. then reviews modelling tools identify applicability review perspectives presented will be valuable common integrated methodology tool analysing full adoption regions best trade-offs, using performance indices not previously used. also help proper regional resources system planning projects installations, contributing sustainable development.

Imported fuels used up to 50% of Sri Lanka's export income and contributed the recent crippling energy crisis. This study explores possibility using island's indigenous renewable resources secure supply for power, heat, transport desalination sectors by year 2050. The costs, CO2 emissions land use requirements system transition pathways are examined. An model in technology-rich, hourly multi-region resolution was applied. In an entirely renewables-based system, cumulative cost 2050 is estimated be 206 billion €, while scenario with least growth renewables dominated fossil fuels, respective 290 €. Solar photovoltaics, including prosumer solar provided 84% annual primary country Battery storage plays a significant role from 2030 onwards meeting 34% final electricity demand Results indicate that increasing total Lanka can met through diverse mix technologies. future best characterised Power-to-X economy, if not Solar-to-X economy.
