“…On the one hand, although the subject of poverty is comprehensively covered by the economic aspect of sustainable development [43][44][45][46][47][48][49], it is also considered to be a precursor of problems in health and education, since it causes a deterioration in people's living conditions [31,[50][51][52][53]. Furthermore, the topic has been investigated in terms of its various links with, for example, inequalities and differences in income [54][55][56][57], gender [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] and race [8,[66][67][68][69], the nexus of renewable energy, smarter technology, energy efficiency and its alleviation [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78], energy prices, energy security and energy dependence [79][80][81][82][83] and the relationship between CO 2 emissions, climate change and energy poverty [84][85]…”

Energy plays a critical role in building a sustainable future—economically, socially, and environmentally. Energy poverty holds a similarly prominent position and covers certain economic, social and environmental issues that are underlined by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Due to its multidimensional role in plans for achieving sustainable development, there is a growing body of literature focusing on various aspects of energy poverty. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of this literature by utilizing more extensive data from the Web of Science, covering all information on energy poverty studies. The analysis reveals how energy poverty has attracted attention over time, who the leading authors are, which studies constitute outstanding contributions to the literature, which different sides of the research topic stand out, and also highlights the potential research gaps. The results reveal all the network flows among researchers, publications, journals, keywords, organizations, co-cited publications, and bibliographic coupling for energy poverty studies. The findings confirm the increasing popularity of energy poverty as a topic and demonstrate the increasing awareness of the issue in academia over time.

“…The relationships between renewable energy and the issues of energy poverty are widely discussed in the literature. Different studies justify that renewable technologies can reduce energy costs in combination with traditional energy sources [85,86] or by replacing fuel-based technologies with renewable-based ones [4,5,87,88]. Additionally, renewable energy has a huge potential for the electrification of off-grid zones and in improving energy access and reducing energy poverty in developing countries [89][90][91].…”

Both developed and developing countries face energy poverty issues today. The growing interest over the last few years at the scientific level demonstrates the importance of the problem. It was a practice for many years to measure energy poverty by calculating the economic single indicators. In recent years, this practice was increasingly criticized and new, more comprehensive indices were developed. Review and analysis of indices developed can help scholars to dig deep into the specific aspects of the problem. The paper aims to review the indices for energy poverty assessment from households’ perspectives and to provide the main insights into the indicators selection process by providing the set of indicators for sustainable energy poverty assessment. The literature search and analysis follows the SALSA (Search, Appraisal, Synthesis and Analysis) and the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodologies. The literature search was carried out in the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database. The search covered the period 1994–2020. Thirty-four developed indexes for energy poverty were identified for assessment. In order to measure the most important dimensions and to reflect the modern concept of the energy poverty, the paper proposes a set of indicators for sustainable energy poverty assessment.

“…The two major costs faced by a company willing to extract lemon yellow #15 from waste lemon peel either using the hydroalcoholic extraction route or via controlled hydrocavitation in water would be (i) labor, and (ii) electricity needed either to recover the bio-based solvent (EtOH) or to power the HC reactor. The latter cost today can be significantly reduced with a relatively low investment cost by self-producing power through a rooftop photovoltaic (PV) plant whose cost has become so low to make its installation affordable to any company in virtually all the world's countries [18].…”

A brief technical and economic insight into producing the water-soluble yellow colorant limocitrol 3-O-6″-[3-hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl)])-β-d-glucopyranoside from waste lemon peel via simple solid–liquid extraction in aqueous ethanol or via hydrodynamic cavitation of waste lemon peel in water shows that the biocolorant can be obtained with multiple technical and economic advantages. Coupled with the simplicity and sustainability of the extraction processes suggested, the high chemical and physical stability of this polymethoxylated flavonol and the health benefits of citrus flavonoids support industrialization of this new bioeconomy production.
