This study introduces an approach to assess the adoption of effective supply chain management practice (SCMP) in petroleum sector, a vital component any country’s economy. Enhancing sector’s performance requires implementation SCMP address performance-related issues sustainable manner. For that, best-worst method (BWM) determined weights four identified challenges and subsequently, alternative ranking order accounting for two-step normalization (AROMAN) evaluated alternatives overcome these challenges. To show applicability our approach, national oil corporation Kenya is considered as case study. Results that collaboration between actors provision transport distribution most appropriate corporation.

Technological innovation is paramount for accelerating climate change mitigation efforts within sectors characterized by low technological diffusion. This study examines the role of self-citation and novelty on impact wind energy technologies (2010–2023). Using USPTO patent data a negative binomial regression analysis, results reveal an inverse relationship between positive originality impact. Specifically, 1% increase in rate associated with 11.2% decrease impact, while leads to 5.2% These findings highlight need policies that incentivize diversity foster knowledge exchange collaboration among firms enhance By providing insights into firms’ strategies, this offers practical guidance policymakers aiming accelerate renewable adoption achieve long-term sustainability goals.

Wind energy is a promising alternative source to cover large amounts of electricity demand in African countries. Djibouti’s proximity the Red Sea and its arid semi-arid climate generate consistent robust winds, contributing potential for wind energy. Notwithstanding considerable potential, Djibouti has not been adequately examined earlier studies determine suitable sites farms. The objective this study develop model by integrating CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation Combined Compromise Solution methods into Geographic Information System-based decision-support system establish comprehensive framework selection farm Djibouti. Following an in-depth review literature, seven main criteria were identified assess suitability construction: velocity, changes direction, ground slope, distance urban areas, road network, transmission networks, land use. method objectively determines relative importance criteria, identifying speed power networks as most important, slope use less important than other criteria. employed prioritize farms, considering specified To enhance reliability results derived from method, validation was conducted utilizing Multi-Attribute Ideal–Real Comparative Analysis method. comparative analysis revealed correlation between two methods, providing convincing evidence accuracy proposed farms This expected assist professionals researchers dealing with site problem on unprecedented scale exact coordinates through that concurrently integrates recent multi-criteria decision-making System tools.
