In an era characterised by political instability, economic uncertainty and mounting environmental pressures, hydrogen fuel is being positioned as a critical piece of the global energy security clean agenda. The policy push noteworthy in United Kingdom, where government targeting industrial decarbonisation via hydrogen, while exploring potential role for hydrogen-fuelled home appliances. Despite imperative to secure social acceptance accelerating diffusion low-carbon technologies, public perceptions homes remain largely underexplored researcher community. response, this analysis draws on extensive focus group data understand multi-dimensional nature context domestic transition. Through integrated, mixed-methods multigroup analysis, study demonstrates that socio-political market are strongly interlinked, owing trust deficit industry, coupled underlying dissatisfaction with markets. At community level, perceived potentially positive mechanism regeneration local development. Households consider short-term disruptive impacts be tolerable, provided temporary disconnection from gas grid does not exceed three days. However, strengthen acceptance, clearer communication needed regarding spatial dynamics equity implications concludes existing deficits will need overcome, which entails fulfilling only 'price promise' cost appliances, but also enacting pledge' bills. These deliverables fundamental securing homes.

Sustainable energy mitigates climate change by reducing reliance on coal and oil for power generation, curbing global warming. It addresses environmental concerns yields economic benefits—reduced fossil fuel dependence, financial inclusion, productive employment, development. This research examines the impact of regional integration sustainability in 39 high-income European Central Asian (ECA) nations from 2017 to 2021. Specifically, study analyzes influence green demand, technological transfers, trade openness carbon emissions. The employed various estimators, namely, a two-step Generalized Method Moments (GMM) estimation, quantile regression, cointegration panel approach. These estimators were utilized capture different aspects dynamics variables. finds that programs agreements effectively reduce emissions, while advances industrial output tend raise them. Granger causality analyses reveal emissions-led development, technical innovation, are interconnected factors, deployment renewable contributes inter-temporal analysis suggests factors will likely emissions following decade. findings support neoclassical growth theory, new institutional economics, ecological modernization theory.

Solar energy has become the world's cheapest and fastest scaling electricity source. Multiple societal sectors are electrifying, scale pace of change give some hope near-future rapid climate mitigation through solar rollouts despite bleak record to date. Critiques utility-scale development foreground injustices like displacing marginalised groups perpetuating resource inequity. Governance scholars argue for stringent regulations towards just transitions, community research shows that smaller-scale solutions hold promise in being more equitable. Our contribution argues possibility redistributive emancipatory development, drawing from scholarship on governance (institutional configurations, policy mixes cross-sectoral regulation) (comparative geographies with attention context-specificity trans-local connection). We conceptualise operationalise term ‘solidaric solarities’ as modalities harnessing advance empowerment, interconnectedness wealth victims injustices. This focuses political economy issues, where can solidarity historically groups, create affordable distributed future renewable systems. The analysis underpinning this normative orientation leverages secondary scholarly expertise rollouts. offer pragmatic principles informed by values engender solidarity, illuminating potential pathways enable solidaric transitions.

Reducing industrial emissions to achieve net-zero targets by the middle of century will require profound and sustained changes how energy intensive industries operate. Preliminary activity is now underway, with governments several developed economies starting implement policy providing funding support deployment low carbon infrastructure into high emitting clusters. While clusters appear offer scale institutional capacity needed kick-start transition, date there has been little systematic assessment factors that may influence success these initiatives. Drawing from academic grey literature, this paper presents a rapid evidence approaches being used drive development internationally. Many projects are still at scoping stage, but it apparent current initiatives focus on capture technologies, alongside hydrogen as future secondary revenue stream. This model decarbonisation funnels investment large coastal access electricity tends obscure questions about integration technologies other interventions, such material efficiency electrification. The technology also omits importance favourable location shared history culture appears have played in helping progress most advanced initiatives; cannot be easily replicated elsewhere. If low-carbon then greater attention social political dimensions process broader range interventions cluster types than represented projects.

Abstract This critical review lays down the fundamentals for rethinking just energy transition. It reviews theoretical perspectives of justice, socio‐technical transitions (STTs), and political ecology presents a plausible useful way to approach low‐carbon transition using Political Ecology as broad framework. framework Sustainable Energy Transition (PESET) addresses power issues associated with transition, while also identifying role inclusivity justice in As studies have primarily focused on Global North extraction production large technologies, this provides more radical means achieve objectives particular relevance application South—a region largely overlooked scholarship where mundane/simple technologies (e.g. Solar Home Systems clean cookstoves) typify processes date. The PESET novel contribution, linking concepts STTs, provide comprehensive framing analysing transitions. thus overarching studies, sustainability transitions, development innovation especially an era globe is moving toward affordable all (Sustainable Development Goal 7).

Decarbonising industrial clusters globally is crucial in combating climate change and integral to the United Kingdom's ambition of achieving a net-zero economy by 2050. The absence holistic frameworks that provide nuanced understanding broad spectrum mitigation options for decarbonising clusters, coupled with deficiency real-world empirical evaluations, present substantial barrier realising set targets reducing CO2 emissions. increasing fragmentations decarbonisation further exacerbates challenge identifying necessary sufficient actions optimal transitioning. This paper proposes an assessment framework cluster aims address existing gaps, particularly social, economic, environmental impact any deployed technology. Focusing on wide range technologies, sectoral strategies, regional dynamics, proposed driven specific key performance indicators comprehensive human data-driven analytical approach reflects descriptive, diagnostic, prescriptive insights Teesside Kingdom. Following validation framework, findings from 30 in-depth semi-structured interviews, two workshops, focus group meetings literature reveal recognises complex interplay technology decision-making transition clusters. article concludes can assist stakeholders, policymakers, researchers assessing impacts energy transition, which critical policy design while also contributing sustainable goals.

Countries around the world are prioritising net zero emissions to meet their Paris Agreement goals. The demand for social impact assessment (SIA) is likely grow as this transition will require investments in decarbonisation projects with speed and at scale. There be winners losers of these because not everyone benefits same; hence, trade-offs inevitable. SIAs, therefore, should focus on understanding how risks distributed among within stakeholders sectors enable identification that just fair. In study, we used a hypothetical case large-scale hydrogen production regional Australia engaged multi-disciplinary experts identify justice issues transitioning such an industry. Using Rawlsian theory fairness, identified several tensions between different groups (national, regional, local, inter intra-communities) (environmental economic) concerning establishment These disproportionately affected by establishment. We argue principles would practice SIA trade-offs. Further, conceptualise systems approach critical facilitate wider participation, agile process achieving SIA.
