Intermittent renewable energy sources (wind, solar, ocean) present significant challenges to electricity grid management. In this chapter we present empirical results on the factors which encourage innovation and investment in energy storage and grid management technologies in order to increase grid flexibility.
Entrance of intermittent renewable power energy sources has brought in benefits mainly associated with emission reduction to help the climate change cause and reduce pollution. However, entrance of renewable generation sources, mainly wind and solar generation that are intermittent energy sources by nature has not come without its …
1. Introduction. By 2020, China has been the world''s largest carbon emitter, accounting for 30.7% of the world''s CO 2 emissions (BP, 2022).The power sector is responsible for more than 40% of CO 2 emissions (Lin and Shi, 2022).At the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Chinese government proposed the "30·60" …

The sector needs greater ambition and stronger policy support. Transport has the lowest renewable energy penetration of all sectors, with only 3.4 percent in 2018 being supplied by renewables. While Sub-Saharan Africa has the largest share of renewable sources in its energy supply, it is not modern - 85 percent is traditional uses …
The United States'' Inflation Reduction Act drives a 20% increase in our biojet and renewable diesel forecast. The policy rewards lower greenhouse gas intensity fuels, driving biofuel producers to focus on waste and residues. In Europe, the existing Renewable Energy Directive and member state policies reward biofuels made from waste and residues.
"China continues to demonstrate its clean energy strengths, with the expansion of renewables suggesting the country could well achieve a peak in its CO2 emissions well before 2030."

However, while the growth in renewable energy has been promising, as of 2022 (see Fig. 1), fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal still made up a significant portion of the world energy mix.This is due to a variety of factors, including existing infrastructure, policy and regulatory environments, and energy storage and grid …
2023 saw a step change in renewable capacity additions, driven by China''s solar PV market. Global annual renewable capacity additions increased by almost 50% to nearly 510 gigawatts (GW) in 2023, the fastest growth rate in the past two decades. This is the 22nd year in a row that renewable capacity additions set a new record.
To achieve the decarbonisation of the electricity sector, a significant amount of renewable energy sources (RES) generation capacity is required to replace the phased-out fossil base load capacities. This process involves electrifying other energy sectors (e.g. transport), which will further increase the electricity demand to be covered by RES.
