“…The focus was on possible baseline developments and available options to mitigate emissions. To apply a systematic and proven process of technology portfolio planning in Taiwan, Chen et al (2009) constructed three scenarios (''Season in the Sun,'' ''More Desire than Energy,'' and ''Castle in the Air'') that encompass future uncertainties in the relationships between the technology alternatives and the decision values. Analysis of other long-term trends such as energy security, economics, energy supply and demand, geopolitical shifts, and social change has also been considered by scenario planners (Renn 2003;Guerra et al 2014;Jiang and Hu 2006;Jewell et al 2014;Bilgin 2011;Criqui and Mima 2012;Grave et al 2012;Weldegiorgis and Franks 2014;Fortes et al 2014;Tanatvanit and Limmeechokchai 2003).…”

With the heightened awareness of global environmental issues of greenhouse gas emissions by fossil fuels as non-renewable energy resources, the application of renewable energies (REs) has emerged as one of the most significant policies in most of the countries throughout the world. Although Iran is blessed with high potential of RE resources such as solar, wind, and geothermal, development of such resources, however, has been neglected due to the various reasons. Considering the long time needed to develop and deploy RE resources, a long-term planning is required in this area. Therefore, applying the scenario planning method, this research develops four scenarios in Iran's 2025 vision, through a combination of the changes in energy consumption and RE generation: green path, standardization, fossil energy, and non-targeted subsidy. Developed scenarios are then compared with the government plan for utilizing REs in 10 % of total electric power generation in a 20-year vision. Results indicate that standardization and fossil energy are the most probable scenarios. Green path is the most optimistic scenario for the country, suggesting the goal of producing 10 % of total electricity share through REs could be achievable by 2025. And the non-targeted subsidy is the most pessimistic and unexpected scenario for the country.

“…In Southern Taiwan, some places such as Tainan and Hengchun even have annual sunshine of up to 2,300 hours ( Table 2). The daily solar energy per square meters is around 3,000 to 4,300 thousand calories, making Taiwan a suitable place for the development of the solar energy industries [13,21,31,38].…”

There are five major factors affecting the adoption of renewable energy for the households in Taiwan: price, environmental consciousness, education, geography, and building density. However, although people usually tend to be environment-friendly, the price is still the major concern for households in considering the adoption of renewable energy equipments. Therefore, subsidies have become the major policy instrument to promote household installation of renewable energy devices. This study takes the case of the solar water heaters (SWHs) as an example of how Taiwan subsidizes households to adopt renewable energy equipments.

Abstract:Among the several typologies of storage technologies, mainly on different physical principles (mechanical, electrical and chemical), hydrogen produced by power to gas (P2G) from renewable energy sources complies with chemical storage principle and is based on the conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy by means of the electrolysis of water which does not produce any toxic or climate-relevant emission. This paper aims to pinpoint the potential uses of renewable hydrogen storage systems in Europe, analysing current and potential locations, regulatory framework, governments' outlooks, economic issues, and available renewable energy amounts. The expert opinion survey, already used in many research articles on different topics including energy, has been selected as an effective method to produce realistic results. The obtained results highlight strategies and actions to optimize the storage of hydrogen produced by renewables to face varying electricity demand and generation-driven fluctuations reducing the negative effects of the increasing share of renewables in the energy mix of European Countries.
