“…The study evaluated mixtures of non-renewable and renewable fuels in terms of their degrees of pollution damage; this has generally not been explored in the past. The earlier literature is mainly limited to the use of nuclear energy [33][34][35], biomass fuel [36,37], solar energy [38,39], wind energy [40,41], hydropower [42,43], and geothermal energy [44,45] sources in different economic settings. In comparison, the literature has largely overlooked the use of coal and brown coal and refined oil in the global data set, which is essential for formulating a sustainable policy agenda.…”

The global energy mix is shifting from fossil fuels to combinations of multiple energy storage and generation types. Hybrid energy system advancements provide opportunities for developing and deploying innovative green technology solutions that can further reduce emissions and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This study examined the impact of an increasing share of wind and solar electricity production on reducing carbon intensity by controlling coal and lignite domestic consumption and the production of refined oil products in a world aggregated data panel. Data covering the last three decades were used for the analysis by the ARDL bounds testing approach. The results showed that an increasing share of wind and solar electricity production would be helpful to decrease carbon intensity in the short and long term. On the other hand, a 1% increase in coal and domestic lignite consumption increased carbon intensity by 0.343% in the short run and 0.174% in the long run. The production of refined oil products decreases carbon intensity by 0.510% in the short run and 0.700% in the long run. However, refining oil products is associated with positive and negative environmental externalities. The positive aspect depends upon the removal of harmful pollutants and the production of cleaner-burning fuels, while the negative part is related to the operational side of refineries and processing plants that may release contaminants into the atmosphere, affecting global air and water quality. Hence, it is crucial to improve processing and refining capacity to produce better-refined oil products by using renewable fuels in energy production. It is proposed that these are the most cost-effective pathways to achieve industrial decarbonization.

“…Hydrogen is a highly potent energy source that can serve as a substitute for hydrocarbon fuels in road and sea transport, heating, and other applications [10]. While being highly flammable, which poses some problems in storage and transport, hydrogen offers an energy density of about 120-142 megajoules per kilogram, which is almost three times higher than that of oil [11]. In addition, burning hydrogen produces water rather than greenhouse gases, which is a massive environmental advantage [12].…”

A technical–economic assessment was carried out in this study to determine the possibilities for wind and solar power generation in Afghanistan’s Helmand province. The results showed that most of the province has a solar irradiance of over 400 W/m2, and also showed that wind and solar power generated in the province can be up to twice as cheap as the official price of renewable power in Afghanistan. The most suitable site for solar and hydrogen production was found to be Laškar Gāh, where solar and hydrogen can be produced at a cost of 0.066 $/kWh and 2.1496 $/kg-H2, respectively. In terms of wind power production and hydrogen production from wind, the most suitable site was Sangīn, where wind power and hydrogen could be produced at costs of 0.057 $/kWh and 1.4527 $/kg-H2, respectively. Despite the high potential of wind and solar energy in the Helmand province, the most suitable place in this region to produce hydrogen from wind/solar energy was evaluated from technical, economic, and environmental perspectives with the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method. The Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) method was used for weighting criteria and the Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) method was used to prioritize locations. The results show that Sangīn is the most suitable place for the construction of a wind hydrogen power plant and Laškar Gāh is the most suitable place for the construction of a solar hydrogen power plant.

Summary Due to population growth and industrial development, Iran is facing the challenge of energy supply in various industrial, power plant, agricultural, and residential sectors. While most of Iran's energy supply comes from fossil fuels, these fuels have devastating environmental impacts. Therefore, Iran has to invest more in its renewable energy sources. Given that many locations of Iran have significant wind, solar, and geothermal potential, this study used a combination of SWOT, multicriteria decision‐making approaches, and game theory to identify the best renewable energy development plans for the country. The Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) technique was applied to weight the criteria and sub‐criteria. Impact on the environment, resource potential, and power generation cost with weights of 0.218, 0.182, and 0.145 was recognized as the most important sub‐criteria, respectively. To rank the factors in each SWOT dimension, namely, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, the Grey Additive Ratio ASsessment (ARAS‐Grey) method was then used. Using the game theory and fuzzy Shapley value, the best combination of renewable energy development strategies was determined to be SO1ST3WO1WT1 with a value of (1.72, 0.58, 0.3). The development of high‐efficiency wind and solar technologies and the minimization of output fluctuations and loss through energy storage methods such as hydrogen production and battery banks were identified as the best strategy combination for renewable energy development in Iran.
