Abstract Although there is great opportunity, the bioeconomy is not a silver bullet in the quest to solve various environmental problems. This assessment tests the no agricultural waste concept, an agricultural system where all residues are utilized within a value chain...

Abstract Due to the capital cost of co-firing being lower than other biomass technologies, the transformation of coal plants into co-firing facilities can potentially minimize the bioenergy cost needed to meet energy decarbonization targets. This study analyzes the impa...

AbstractCost of capital is an important driver of investment decisions, including the large investments needed to execute the low-carbon energy transition. Most models, however, abstract from country or technology differences in cost of capital and use uniform assumptio...

In 2020, residential sector loads reached 25% of the overall electrical consumption in Europe and it is foreseen to stabilise at 29% by 2050. However, this relatively small increase demands, among others, changes in the energy consuming behaviour of households. To achie...

The adoption of energy efficiency practices and increased penetration of renewable energy sources in the power system are estimated to play a key role in the decarbonization of the energy sector, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately fight climate chang...

Abstract Numerous studies have presented scenarios regarding energy transition, including the computation of investment costs in various models. Although these studies project detailed investment pathways for different technologies, they do not distinguish between diffe...

AbstractThis article ties in directly with recently intensified interest in business models in international business (IB), using the energy transition as empirical context to explore their relevance in firm internationalization. The global energy transition presents a ...

Abstract The discourse on food and sustainability seems omnipresent – both in analogue and digital spaces. Accordingly, more and more channels for sustainable food consumption have emerged in Berlin over the past years. Especially calls for the (re-)localization of food...

Agricultural land in Europe is affected by low rooting depth (LRD) on 27.9 Mha. This marginal agricultural land can potentially be used to grow industrial crops without directly threatening food security or biodiversity conservation. However, little is known about the y...

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly playing a significant role in the design and optimization of renewable energy systems. Many AI approaches and technologies are already widely deployed in the energy sector in applications such as generation forecasti...
