“…New energy is the energy that is distinct from traditional and conventional energy. Solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, water energy, and ocean energy are examples of renewable energy sources, as are clean energy and green energy [ 13 ]. The NEI refers to a series of processes for the development and utilization of new energy carried out by units or enterprises.…”

This paper develops a regional new energy industry (NEI) competitiveness evaluation index system based on the theoretical framework of the “diamond model” and the unique characteristics of the new energy industry and made an empirical analysis of Jilin province with analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The analysis results show that the new energy industry in Jilin Province has a good foundation, and the government’s role, talent support, technological innovation, and market factors are acceptable. However, due to location factors and resource endowments, regional GDP and per capita consumption expenditure are low. The lack of intrinsic motivation of industrial competitive advantage has resulted in the poor overall competitiveness of the new energy industry in Jilin Province. Then, it is advised to take targeted measures to work closely with national NEI development strategy, optimize the industrial technology innovation ability and the talent support, actively guide social capital flows and new energy consumption, optimize regional energy consumption structure and industrial structure by creating a complete NEI chain, and revitalize the whole economy.

The decarbonisation of energy systems plays a central role in climate change mitigation strategies. Yet, the implementation of new energy infrastructure increases material demand, especially metals, and poses a challenge with managing their end-of-life. However, it is not yet clear to what extent integrated analyses of energy and material systems have been undertaken for the New Zealand context. This paper provides a systematic literature review to inform how material analyses have been incorporated in the planning of low-carbon energy systems in New Zealand. The results show that research efforts have forecasted low-carbon energy systems and modelled some of the infrastructure required, as well as the associated lifecycle emissions considering scenarios of different renewable electricity mixes and of improvements in energy efficiency. However, material systems -whether virgin material demand or implications for recycling -have not been considered in low-carbon energy pathways for New Zealand. We recommend energy and material systems analyses for New Zealand should become more integrated to inform better policy and decision-making. This could be achieved by developing a model that integrates energy system modelling with dynamic stock-flow models and prospective lifecycle analysis.

“…The system of community owned energy project is practiced for most of the renewable energy resources [49,95,150,157]. The concepts is found particularly suitable for geothermal resources applied in heating, cooling and energy production [33,63,90,132]. IRENA [60] underlines the benefits of the community owned geothermal district heating.…”

This paper investigates the theoretical foundation for developing renewable geothermal resources locally. For this reason, we pay attention to the role of communities in geothermal development. This study presents arguments for a framework that approaches the geothermal resources as an endogenous factor of community development. To analyse it, we create a model that explains the local economic characters of the geothermal exploitation beyond its geological conditions. It aims to conceptualise a community based geothermal development standard referring to the endogeneity principle. Geothermal energy is given attention since the characteristics of this resource determine its use locally. We argue that the role of communities in geothermal exploitation is pivotal in the process of green growth for further expansion of geothermal energy use.
