Summary: Corporate adoption of renewables has been limited in Singapore, mainly due to a lack of awareness of renewable energy certificates. However, the study found that corporate sustainability goals, cost reduction, and demonstrating leadership were the major drivers for renewable procurement. To accelerate renewable energy adoption, actions such as establishing standards, raising awareness, and implementing policies can be taken.

Summary: The study highlights the importance of renewable energy dependence in facilitating energy transition in E7 settings. Factors such as renewable energy demand and supply ratio, energy consumption to GDP ratio are crucial in promoting renewable energy transition through green financing. The shift towards renewable energy in E7 economies is partly attributed to investments in renewable energy sources supported by green finance.

Summary: The main objective of this study is to estimate long-term REC prices based on marginal-cost pricing and analyze the RPS system quantitatively using a proposed mathematical model. Simulation studies in South Korea show that solar photovoltaic accounted for a major portion of the new investment. The study provides appropriate price signals to the market participants and serves as a reference for policymakers.

Summary: This paper discusses the transposition of EU Directive on Renewable Energy Communities into Italian legislation and proposes a method to identify national provisions that do not comply with the EU law. The study reveals incorrect transposition of the EU law in Italy and calls for a revision of policy options for battery storage in Renewable Energy Communities. This work is important for supporting the development of new RECs and formulating appropriate policy options and techno-economic measures.

Summary: This review paper examines the acceptance of renewable energy installations and projects from the perspectives of local residents and tourists. While previous research has extensively studied community acceptance of renewable energy, little attention has been paid to tourists' acceptance in tourist destinations. The paper emphasizes the need to identify the determinants of tourists' acceptance and advocates for further research comparing residents' and tourists' reactions to renewable energy projects in tourism destinations. It also highlights the importance of incorporating new theories and interdisciplinary approaches into future studies.

Summary: Due to the increasing emission of greenhouse gases and global warming, the development of renewable energy has become crucial. Policies supporting renewable energy play a significant role in increasing the deployment of renewable energy technologies, regardless of a country's group. Developed oil countries have more capacity to support renewable energy projects than oil developing countries due to their higher efficiency in renewable energy policy.
