“…This became apparent in the discussion of the business models that offer a certain degree of flexibility and choices of how and when energy is used. This shows the importance of understanding energy as an enabler rather than a product, which has also been shown by others [38][39][40][41].…”

“…The objective of this research was to develop and assess business models that introduce bioenergy as a solution to improve access to energy, agricultural practices, and empower local rice farming communities. Improved access to affordable and renewable energy is understood as a key enabler for economic development [38][39][40]. In the context of bioenergy, domestic energy use for cooking is one of the most discussed topics in the development context.…”

Rice is the main agricultural crop in the Philippines and central to the country's food security. One main challenge of rice farming is the management of the straw after harvest. With limited uses, the rice straw is currently burned or in some cases incorporated with significant environmental impacts. However, it can be an important feedstock for sustainable bioenergy and support energy access in the Philippines. The research was conducted around a 1,000 m 3 biogas pilot plant in Laguna province, Philippines. The aim of this research was to develop business models and assess their potential for improving energy access, agricultural practices, and empowering local rice-growing communities. Four business models were developed, reflecting energy supply and demand approaches. This was informed by interviews with stakeholders, including farmers, agricultural entrepreneurs, local authorities, and policymakers in the case study location. A multi-criteria assessment was conducted to evaluate synergies and trade-offs between different aspects of the business models. While all business models provided positive environmental, economic, and in particular social sustainability impacts, the farming community showed the most support for approaches that provide wider livelihood benefits beyond renewable energy access, such as diversification of agricultural activities and income generation. This demonstrated that bioenergy has the potential to create a virtuous circle of benefits for local communities in support of sustainable development. To achieve this, it is essential to take a holistic and multi-level approach to the different sustainability criteria to maximise benefits and mitigate negative impacts of bioenergy systems beyond energy technology.

“…The European Union is a group of countries that have made careful plans to develop a bio-based economy since 2000. A bio-based economy is seen as having the potential to direct a country into the future that encourages sustainable development [15].Through the right policy framework, considering economic feasibility and social welfare as well as maintaining ecological sustainability, there will be greater benefits in applying bio-based economies compared to fossil-based economies. In June 2012 the European Commission established a Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) to plan and implement a bio-based economy in the European Union [16].…”

This study aims to discuss the policy of using renewable energy in the form of rare metal eart as an effort to build national energy security. The research method used a legal research looking from various perspectives in social science. Law is seen as a space for the process of scientific study in order to seek truth. The use of relevant legal research wants to understand the law more thoroughly. In performing implementation analysis, using the method of Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) with focus on energy regulation. The results of the study show that: First, the policy of the Indonesian republic government regarding the use of new energy and renewable energy aims to prepare the carrying capacity of national energy security. This policy has not fully gone well. The policy is not supported by consistency in issuing derivative policies. Second, the use of new energy and renewable energy, especially rare earth metals as part of efforts to encourage national energy security in Indonesia is still very far from expectations. The use of rare eart metal is only around 0.7% of the use of new energy. Efforts to explore and exploit rare earth metals have not been carried out in a timely manner. Whereas the potential of rare earth metals is a strategic community and has the potential to encourage national energy security in Indonesia. Indonesia is projected to produce rare earth metals reaching 20% of the world's supply.

“…2 However, there are growing examples of the negative impacts caused by the transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy. 3 Prominent voices among Indigenous peoples are now contending that policy and legislation supporting the green transition do not adequately reflect their interests, and in some instances, even perpetuate colonialism. 4 In Sweden, where the green transition is well underway, Sámi reindeer herders oppose the development of wind energy projects on their traditional land.…”

Uncovering Injustices in the Green Transition: Sámi Rights in the Development of Wind Energy in Sweden

This contribution is an analysis of how the rights of the Sámi to engage in reindeer husbandry are guaranteed in the green transition to renewable energy in Sweden. Consideration of the increasing number of court decisions addressing the impacts of wind energy on reindeer husbandry in Sweden raises significant questions about the fairness of the transition to sustainable development. The purpose of this analysis is to examine the impacts of wind energy on reindeer husbandry and uncover the justice issues raised by this development. Drawing on the discourse of just transition that includes distributional, procedural and recognition considerations, this analysis more specifically examines the distributive effects of the development of wind energy on reindeer husbandry and identifies how Sámi reindeer herders are included and their status and human rights as an Indigenous people recognised within this process. On this basis, the conclusion from this study is that systemic reforms of the Swedish system that take due consideration of the human rights of the Sámi as an Indigenous people must be implemented in order to ensure a transition to sustainable development that equally benefits Sámi reindeer herders and can therefore provide justice for all.
