“…Therefore, the key energy generation technology forming the bulk of the transition in the BPS is solar PV which is representative of sunbelt countries sharing similar climatic conditions to that of Cameroon as shown in similar studies for Africa [5]- [8], [87]. Several related studies for countries belonging to the Global South point to the dominance of solar PV as a driving generating technology for achieving a 100% RE-based energy system both on national and regional regimes, as for the Americas [88]- [91], Middle East [92]- [94], Central Asia [73], [95], and South and Southeast Asia.…”

“…Further, batteries, heat pumps and technologies in the value chain for renewable electricity based synthetic fuel production, such as electrolysers enhance flexibility and integration of the energy system. The battery-to-PtG phenomenon [7], [9], [41], [95], [100] is observed in energy systems with very a high share of RE, such as the BPS, as a means of reducing overall system cost. Battery can be used to charge the gas storage via utilisation of electrolysers during off-peak hours, mainly at night and early morning hours.…”

Sustainable energy systems form an indispensable component of sustainable development especially in developing economies. Understanding the system wide techno-economics of sustainable energy systems therefore becomes critical in shaping the energy system mix within a region or country. This paper explores progressive and optimal pathways towards a fully sustainable energy system for Cameroon by 2050 in power, heat, and transport sectors as a representative case study for the Central Africa region. Six key scenarios are modelled with the LUT Energy System Transition Model to capture key policy and sustainability constraints. Results from the study show that, the optimal least cost technology combination for a fully sustainable energy system for Cameroon with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 is dominated by solar PV (86%), complemented by hydropower (8%) and bioenergy (5%). These results show that a fully sustainable energy system for Cameroon is feasible from both the technical and economic perspectives, if policy commitment is oriented towards these low-cost energy solutions. The results of this research provide a reliable reference for planning transitions towards a 100% renewable energy-based energy system in countries within the Central Africa region.

Concerns related to climate change and global warming caused by anthropogenic activities and in particular fossil energy use have been increasing lately. Air pollution and volatile conventional fuel prices emphasize the need to transition the energy system towards very high shares of renewables. 100% renewable energy systems have been analyzed by many researchers starting from 1975. This bibliometric analysis reviews more than 600 scientific articles in which 100% renewable energy systems were surveyed. This study uses tools of bibliometric analysis, based on publication databases and data mining, together with review elements to understand the current status and trend of 100% renewable energy systems research. The focus of results is on quantitative parameters relating to number and publication types, collaborative links among authors, institutions, and countries. Collaborative networks provide the significant concentration of published papers within organizations and co-authorships globally. The results reveal that the dominant organizations and thus number of published papers are from Europe and the USA; however, almost all the established research organizations in the field of energy system analysis are not active in the field of 100% renewable energy systems analyses. The journals Energy and Applied Energy have the most articles, and accordingly the most citations. EnergyPLAN and LUT Energy System Transition Model have been the most active tools used to analyze 100% renewable energy systems according to numbers of articles and received citations. The topic of modeling approach indicates the term 'Energy System' has the highest frequency due to its emergence in the articles. This research provides a holistic overview on the more than four decades of research, and it reveals dynamics within the field with a compound annual growth rate of articles of 26% for the 2010s, the trend of publications, and author growth that comprises now almost 1400 authors with articles in the field.

“…Nevertheless, some issues have been addressed in the scientific publications − for example, the studies of A.M. Penjiyev, in particular, his dissertation "Scientific justification of energy technologies use based on renewable energy sources in Turkmenistan" are of interest [2]. R. Satymov studied Turkmenistan's transition to a sustainable energy system [6], pointing out that Turkmenistan is a country completely dependent on fossil fuels, and that the development of a renewable energy system will be more profitable for the country than permanent dependence on fossil fuels. Also of interest is V.A.…”

The relevance of the study is based, on the one hand, on the persisting importance and demand for minerals as energy carriers in the context of the global economy, and, on the other hand, on the recognition of the current economic processes taking place in the region of interest ( for this study, Central Asia) when building a strategy for the reintegration of the post-Soviet space. The purpose of the investigation is to characterise Turkmenistan’s current energy trade policy to anticipate further steps in building a system of strategic cooperation with its immediate neighbours as well as other political actors. The study uses general scientific methods and a range of special methods, such as deduction and induction methods, content analysis, event analysis, systematic approach and historical analysis. The study first outlines major developments in international politics (with a focus on past and current economic processes, specifically in trade and energy production) in the region as a whole and Turkmenistan in particular, and second, it proposes a scenario for the state’s likely development in the region of interest, based on historical assumptions and available data. The information set out in this study can be used to adjust actions in building a long-term relationship with Turkmenistan, and to assess and understand the motivations behind the actions of Turkmenistan’s officials
