Summary: The relationship between energy, environment, and economic growth has gained significant attention, but environmental sustainability remains a global challenge. This study examines the impact of renewable energy development, market regulation, and environment-related innovation on CO2 emissions in the BRICS countries from 1990 to 2020. The findings reveal a long-term symmetric and asymmetric relationship between renewable energy development, market regulation, environment-related innovation, and CO2 emissions. Market regulation plays a crucial mediating role in this relationship. The study suggests that the BRICS countries should prioritize environment-related innovation and renewable energy development, implement market-based environmental regulation policies, emphasize environmental taxes, and expand renewable energy and innovation to achieve environmental sustainability.

Summary: This study investigates how customers' environmental regulation impacts suppliers' green innovation. Using a unique dataset of customer-supplier relationships among listed firms in China, the findings show that suppliers increase their green innovation in response to intensified environmental regulation pressure from customers. This effect remains consistent across different measures of green innovation and environmental regulation, as well as a different sample. The study also finds that the influence of customers' environmental regulation on suppliers' green innovation is positively associated with the customers' bargaining power. Overall, these results contribute to the growing body of research on the significant role of the supply chain in firms' decision making processes.

Summary: The desire of prosumers to participate in the markets has led to the establishment of Decentralized Local Electricity Markets (DLEM). Market liquidity is low in such markets with few participants, making price discovery cumbersome. To address this, a DLEM model is proposed where participants can trade with a Liquidity Pool (LP) created by Energy Storage Units (ESU). An Automated Market Maker (AMM) protocol is used for iteration-free price discovery, updating the LP's energy price based on demand-supply balance. The AMM's efficiency is improved by applying the concept of concentrated liquidity. Simulation studies on IEEE 33 bus and 123 bus distribution networks demonstrate the operation of the proposed market model.

Summary: The integration of distributed generation into a power distribution network enables the establishment of a microgrid when the main grid is malfunctioning. This study proposes a strategy for effectively utilizing deployed power sources in islanded distribution networks with power mismatch conditions. The optimal placement and capacity of distributed generators and capacitors are determined using the Jaya algorithm to reduce power losses in the grid-connected mode. The results show that maintaining the load power factor equal to the generator's power factor allows the distributed sources to operate at full capacity during power imbalance conditions.

Summary: The push towards renewable energy sources has raised questions about the distribution of costs and benefits. This study examines the disparities in solar PV deployment across different dimensions, such as ethno-racial composition, income, and rural-urban status, using comprehensive data on residential solar PV installations in New York State. The findings reveal notable differences in adoption rates across these dimensions, with significant changes in deployment gaps between 2010 and 2020. While minority-majority tracts have caught up and surpassed white-majority tracts in PV adoption rates, disparities in deployment based on income and rural-urban status have remained. The study also highlights the influence of local policies and market processes on distributional outcomes in PV deployment.
