Potential of Power-to-Methane in the EU energy transition to a low carbon system using cost optimization (2018, background): “Some models [14,29,30] focus on the operational component or use a simulation approach [31] without finding an optimal PtM capacity for a given scenario.”
100% Clean and Renewable Wind, Water, and Sunlight All-Sector Energy Roadmaps for 139 Countries of the World (2017, background): “Previous clean-energy plans have generally been limited to individual countries or regions, selected sectors, partial carbon emission reductions, and/or emission reductions of carbon only rather than air pollution and carbon (e.g., Parsons-Brinckerhoff, 2009 for the UK; Price-Waterhouse-Coopers, 201”
The status of 4th generation district heating: Research and results (2018, background): “Analyses of energy systems in Europe [43,51,60–62, In the study Heat Roadmap Europe [53], a strategy of DH is introduced in which district heating and individual heat pumps elsewhere are combined with heat savings of 50%.”
100% clean and renewable Wind, Water, and Sunlight (WWS) all-sector energy roadmaps for 53 towns and cities in North America (2018, unknown): “…or near 100% renewable energy (e.g., Lund and Mathiesen, 2009; Mason et al., 2010; Hart and Jacobson, 2011, 2012; Connolly et al., 2011, 2014,2016; Connolly and Mathiesen, 2014; Mathiesen et al., 2011, 2012,2015; Elliston et al., 2012, 2013, 2014; Rasmussen et al., 2012; Steinke et al., 2013;…”
Response to ‘Burden of proof: A comprehensive review of the feasibility of 100% renewable-electricity systems’ (2017, background): “One power system study for Ireland with high share of wind power [112] varied temporal resolution between 60min and 5min intervals, and found that the 5min simulation results gave system costs just 1% higher than hourly simulation results; however, unit commitment constraints and higher ramping and ”
Status and perspectives on 100% renewable energy systems (2019, background): “In some studies, authors argue that it will be extremely costly (and technically infeasible) to perform this 100% RE transition [75,207,208], while other researchers find that it is both technically and economically feasible [143,145,150,224,227].”
