Who suffers from energy poverty in household energy transition? Evidence from clean heating program in rural China

Lunyu Xie et al.

Summary: In northern rural China, the transition from coal to electricity and gas for heating has led to an unintended increase in energy poverty, despite large subsidies. The increase in energy poverty is heterogeneous, with Beijing experiencing stability while the neighboring province of Hebei seeing a 70% increase. Lower income, less education, and smaller household size are factors that increase the likelihood of experiencing energy poverty.

Bridging the energy performance gap of social housing stock in south-eastern Mediterranean Europe: Climate change and mitigation

B. Ozarisoy et al.

Summary: Sustainable Development Goal #7 emphasizes the importance of accessible and sustainable energy for all. However, many post-war social housing estates in Europe do not meet energy-efficiency standards, putting them at risk of overheating. This study examines the energy performance of residential buildings and identifies thermal anomalies caused by air infiltration and lack of natural ventilation. The findings highlight the need for improved energy policies and regulations in Europe.

How much will it cost? An energy renovation analysis for the Portuguese dwelling stock

Pedro Palma et al.

Summary: This study assesses the cost-effectiveness of renovation measures for reducing energy needs in Portuguese dwellings. Roof renovation is found to be the most cost-effective measure, and prioritizing older house archetypes in the north and south inland regions is more cost-effective.

Understanding citizens' environmental concern and their pro-environmental behaviours and attitudes and their influence on energy use

J. Hidalgo-Crespo et al.

Summary: The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between an individual's political ideology and their environmental concern and pro-environmental behaviors and attitudes, and how these factors influence pro-electrical consumption attitudes. The study found a relationship between environmental concern and pro-electrical consumption attitudes, as well as a gradual decrease in concern and pro-environmental behaviors and attitudes from center ideology to extreme left and right. Additionally, environmental concern was found to strongly influence pro-environmental behaviors and attitudes.

The environmental impact of household domestic energy consumption in rural areas: Empirical evidence from China's photovoltaic poverty alleviation regions

Zihan Wang et al.

Summary: China's Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Projects (PPAP) have successfully fought poverty, but the impact on the energy transition, energy consumption, and environment for the rural poor are still unknown. This study highlights the importance of rural electrification for improving the rural environment and respecting residents' survival and development. It also emphasizes the crucial role of energy and environmental perceptions among the poor. The current PPAP program needs to have a greater impact on reducing the ecological footprint, which can be achieved through further access to electricity in rural areas, raising environmental awareness among the poor, and focusing on household off-grid PV plants.

Kevin T. Smiley et al.

Summary: This study investigates the predictors of pro-environmental behaviors by comparing socio-demographic characteristics with attitudinal and belief profiles among Copenhagen residents. The findings suggest that attitudes and beliefs are stronger predictors of pro-environmental behaviors compared to socio-demographic characteristics.

Markel Arbulu et al.

Summary: The refurbishment of buildings is crucial for achieving the goals of the European Green Deal, and the European Union has implemented two mechanisms, European policy and Research and Technological Development (RTD) projects, to accomplish this. However, the applicability of the EU's assessment framework in RTD projects faces barriers and challenges, indicating the need for adjustments and improvements.

Green electricity and Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin demand analysis for Turkiye

Umit Calikoglu et al.

Summary: This study aims to analyze the demand and market value for green electricity and energy attribute certificates in Turkey. The results indicate that corporate companies are more inclined to choose green electricity and are willing to pay a higher price for it. The study also shows that certified green electricity supply can provide renewable energy investors with long-term stable additional income.

Limits of household's energy efficiency improvements and its consequence - A case study for Hungary

Gyula Grof et al.

Summary: Many energy-efficiency programs focus on residential buildings at national and EU level. Investment in building renovation can improve energy efficiency, but financial status and energy policies need to be considered. This study examines the potential impact of energy-efficient renovation on mortgage loans in Hungary and finds that there are complex factors, such as household income and technical characteristics, that affect heating expenditure and savings rates.

The financial barrier for renovation investments towards a carbon neutral building stock-An assessment for the Flemish region in Belgium

Johan Albrecht et al.

Summary: The study reveals that approximately half of homeowning households cannot finance the necessary renovations, whether carried out all at once or spread over multiple years. Additionally, when additional investment costs associated with comfort increasing measures are included, the share of households facing a shortage in financing capacity increases further.

Investigating techno-economic effects and environmental impacts of energy renovation of residential building clusters on a district heating system

Gottfried Weinberger et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of energy renovation strategies on heat load supply, building and district heating system-based life cycle costs, primary energy use, and CO2 emissions. Results show a reduction in combined heat and power production, primary energy use, and marginal CO2 emissions, but also financial deficits for building owners, energy companies, and industries.

One-Stop-Shops for Energy Renovation of Dwellings in Europe-Approach to the Factors That Determine Success and Future Lines of Action

Rolando Biere-Arenas et al.

Summary: Energy renovation of buildings in the European Union could lead to significant energy savings and a 26% reduction in energy consumption, but barriers faced by homes, contractors, and finance companies have hindered progress. The emergence of one-stop-shops (OSSs) as integrated management entities seems to be a central element in developing future strategies for promoting energy renovation.

Electricity Markets during the Liberalization: The Case of a European Union Country

Stefan Bojnec et al.

Summary: This study examines the electricity markets in Slovenia during the period of market deregulation and price liberalization, investigating the drivers of electricity prices and consumption, and analyzing their relation with the European Energy Exchange market. The findings show that opening up electricity markets can increase competition and balance the interests of suppliers and consumers. Moreover, the study highlights the importance of encouraging the use of renewable energy sources in the context of greening energy markets and developing CO2 emission trading markets.

Do energy subsidies reduce fiscal and household non-energy expenditures? A regional heterogeneity assessment on coal-to-gas program in China

Qunwei Wang et al.

Summary: Since 2017, central, provincial, and prefecture-level governments in China have issued coal-to-gas subsidies to households to encourage the transition of residential heating energy from coal to natural gas. Reductions in fiscal and household non-energy expenditures mainly occur in cities with a higher proportion of natural gas in household energy consumption, induced by local governmental subsidies and device subsidies. For highly air-polluted cities, consumption subsidies encourage natural gas consumption without reducing household non-energy expenditures.
