The implications of environmental deterioration, including the effects of global warming, demand that the energy supply be modified. Globally, fossil fuels constitute the main source of electricity; therefore, electricity consumption contributes greatly to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) [1].Given the enormous pressure that electricity production places

Breaking barriers in deployment of renewable energy

These barriers prevent renewable energy from effectively competing with traditional energy and hamper achievement of the necessary large-scale deployment (Nasirov et al., 2015). Penetration and scale-up of renewable require a strong political and regulatory framework which supports and promotes a continued focus on fossil fuels

Barriers to Renewable Energy Development in Nigeria

underdevelopment of renewable energy technologies in the country are, despite its potential. As such, the guiding research question of our study is: "What are the barriers to renewable energy development in Nigeria and how to overcome them?" To identify the barriers, we conducted a macro analysis of the country using the PESTLE framework.

Renewable energy – powering a safer future | United Nations

Renewable energy is cheaper. Renewable energy actually is the cheapest power option in most parts of the world today. Prices for renewable energy technologies are dropping rapidly. The cost of

Incentives and strategies for financing the renewable energy

Several renewable energy projects have been announced in the country since 2017, including 17 solar projects with a capacity of 620 MW and four wind projects with a total capacity of 120 MW (ITM, 2020). Inaccessibility to capital to invest in clean energy is one of the main barriers for the RET

Barriers to renewable/sustainable energy technologies adoption: Indian

Renewable energy has the potential to play an important role in providing energy with sustainability to the vast populations in developing countries who as yet have practically no access to clean energy [4].High population and subsequent increase in energy demand in developing countries highlight and emphasize the urgent need for renewable, sustainable,

Prioritizing strategies to eliminate barriers to renewable energy

The present findings are opportune as Ghana recently organized her 7th Renewable Energy Fair, themed "Removing barriers to Renewable Energy Development in Ghana" held from the 12th of October to October 14, 2021. One of the key concerns was developing effective strategies to surmount the thriving RE barriers to promote the country''s

Renewable energy barriers and coping strategies: Evidence from

Renewable energy sources (RES) are the main drivers of sustainable energy development. Notwithstanding the substantial expansion of renewables in the past decade, boosted by the various policies and measures, renewable energy sources are still far from full incorporation into the energy markets.

Challenges and opportunities beyond 2021 – Renewable energy

In the case of the EU policy framework for biofuels, the Renewable Energy Directive dictates that member states may increase the contribution of conventional (crop-based) biofuels to renewable energy in transport by no more than one percentage point over levels achieved in 2020. As such, any Covid-19 market disruption this year that alters the
