Summary: Recently, renewable energy has experienced significant growth in the global power sector, with solar PV and wind power leading the way. While there are challenges in deploying renewables in power plants and buildings, many countries are reforming policies to overcome drawbacks. In South Korea, renewable energy policy started in the 1980s but gained more attention in 2017 when the government pledged to phase out nuclear plants and focus on renewables as alternative energy sources. The study investigates the structure, drivers, and challenges of renewable energy policies in Korea, aiming to contribute to the development of improved policies to achieve the Renewable Energy 3020 Plan.

Summary: The quest for cleaner energy has led to the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure, including wind turbine farms, but wind turbines can pose a risk to wildlife. While research has focused on the potential harm caused to birds and bats from impact injuries, new evidence suggests that wind turbine noise (WTN) can also be detrimental to wildlife. However, planning guidelines in selected locations such as California, Germany, and Israel lack clear limitations or obligatory environmental impact assessment requirements for addressing the effects of WTN on wildlife. Nonetheless, there are some steps taken by planning authorities that show potential for improvement.

Summary: As countries pursue power system decarbonization, the strict integration target, often in the form of a curtailment cap, is being pursued in jurisdictions like China. However, the effects of these curtailment caps have not been systematically studied. This study evaluates the effects of curtailment caps on the decarbonization of a provincial power system, revealing that they have deleterious effects that do not align with the stated goals of these policies.

Summary: Offshore wind power is an important technology option for decarbonising the electricity sector in the Asia-Pacific region. The expert elicitation study indicates that the average levelized cost of electricity for fixed-bottom and floating offshore wind technologies is expected to decrease by 2040 and 2050, respectively. The reduction in installation costs and capital costs, along with increased capacity factors, are identified as the main drivers for the cost reductions. Policy measures such as setting targets and improving regulatory processes are crucial for supporting technology cost reductions, and the preferred policy mix depends on the level of technological maturity.

Summary: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is crucial for Europe's energy transition, and green hydrogen production from renewable sources plays a significant role in achieving this goal. As renewable energy production capacity grows, the importance of green hydrogen is expected to increase. However, there has been no quantitative study on the feasibility of hydrogen growth plans in the Iberian Electricity Market (MIBEL) so far. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a novel mathematical programming model that integrates hydrogen generation into the MIBEL, revealing a mismatch between sustainability goals and expansion plans for renewable and green hydrogen in Spain and Portugal.

Summary: This study examines the impact of innovation policies on wind energy innovation in China. The results show that local governments' technology-push policy has an inductive effect on wind energy innovation, but also has a negative spillover effect between regions with proximity in terms of geography or ranking of R&D funds input. The demand-pull policy only produces positive spillover effects at the national level, while competition between regions with proximity in terms of ranking of wind energy resource reserves produces negative spillover effects.

Summary: As the global population grows, the demand for food, energy, and water will increase significantly. However, limited land availability and competition for solar resources pose challenges to resource generation technologies. In the United States, both agriculture and solar energy production have adopted densification schemes to improve yields and energy output per unit of land. This research proposes an Agrivoltaic food and energy coproduction architecture that optimizes power generation while maintaining crop productivity by implementing ideal anti-tracking during critical growth periods. This technology offers a viable pathway for widespread solar implementation throughout the contiguous United States.

Summary: The continuous growth of global electricity penetration has provided modern energy for alleviating energy poverty, but its impact on carbon neutrality has been overlooked. The research reveals that clean electricity from traditional fossil energy and renewable energy has a positive influence on the greenhouse effect. Eradicating energy poverty can effectively alleviate the greenhouse effect, especially in non-Belt and Road Initiative (B&RI) nations.
