Energy transition has become a priority for adaptive policy and measures taken in response to climate change around the world. This is an opportunity and a challenge for the Taiwan government to establish a climate-resilient power generation mixed to ensure electricity security as well as climate change mitigation. This study adopted a sustainable development perspective and applied optimal control theory to establish a cost-effective model to evaluate a long-term (2050), climate-resilient power generation mix for Taiwan. Furthermore, this study applies the STIRPAT approach to predict the demand of electricity by 2050 for the demand side management. The results not only showed the share of various power generation mixed, but also recommended the trajectory of electricity saving by 2050.

Transition Policy

AbstractEnergy transitions are based upon policy choices of sovereign nation states. Hence, politics plays a role in determining which policies governments implement and which sectors are targeted. Our chapter looks at the evolution of public discourse on energy policy as one important factor reflecting policy discussion and contestation within the political arena. Our descriptive and explorative analysis of the early public discourse in Swiss energy policy between 1997 and 2011 contributes to three main issues. First, it makes a case for the disaggregation of energy policy and its public perception to add to our understanding of energy transition pathways. We argue that looking at sectoral discourses as well as sectoral policy outputs allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the idiosyncrasies of Swiss energy policy regarding temporal as well as sectoral variation. Second, an increased politicization of energy policy may affect future policy choice, and thus any account on energy transition policy needs to scrutinize potential feedback effects from policies that manifest via policy discourse. Third, and on a more methodological stance, we argue that our approach to use news media as a representation of the public discourse via structural topic models can help to explore and explain the evolving national policy priorities regarding energy transition.

The Seoul Eco-mileage Program is a representative project of the One Less Nuclear Power Plant (OLNPP) scheme, which addresses the energy transition policy of Seoul aiming to reduce CO2 emissions. Unlike other governmental projects, the success of this program requires the direct participation of citizens. This study investigates the influence of civic engagement in participant towns (Level 1: 423 administrative towns) and districts (Level 2: 25 administrative districts) on CO2 emissions reduction (kg CO2/membership) throughout 2017 in Seoul via multilevel modeling. Our results show that town-level civic engagement, as measured by voter turnout, is positively correlated with the performance of the Eco-mileage Program. Moreover, when civic engagement factors (social trust, volunteer activities, and citizen participation) at Level 1 interact with Level 2 factors (housing prices, motivation of district leaders, and energy-saving practices) in each district, we observed cross-level interactive effects on CO2 reduction. Among Level 2 factors, the representative institutional capacities, such as financial independence and ordinance, showed positive correlations with the performance efficacy of the energy transition policy of Seoul.

Transition Policy

Saving energy and protecting the environment are the cornerstones of the modern concept of energy consumption. Following the Algerian program on renewable energies and energy consumption, dictated by Algeria's new energy transition policy, 40% of electricity production should come from renewable energies by the year 2030. The present article accompanies this policy and makes an attempt to improve the energy efficiency. This work presents a comparative experimental study of two models of flat plate air solar collectors, namely a solar collector with black mini solar concentrators (BMSC) and another model, similar to the first one, with the same geometry and dimensions, and supplied with mini solar concentrators and mirrors (MSCMR) instead of black mini solar concentrators. A comparison of the temperature profiles for these two models of solar collectors is performed in this work, in the two cases of free convection and forced convection. Comments on this innovative design are presented and the results obtained are found encouraging.

Covid-19 pandemic has caused not only a global health emergency, but it has also created the market and economic disruptions. Countries’ aspirations for a swift transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy towards lower-carbon economy will be halted since they have now a priority to deal with health emergency and economic burden. However, despite the expected economic recession, there are reasons to remain optimistic, especially for the renewable sector to grow positively during this period of crisis. It is worth noting that renewables were the only source that posted growth in demand during the crisis. Declining energy demand during the crisis as well as low bank interest has provided an opportunity for governments and the private sector to pursue their renewable project agenda. In the case of emerging countries such as Indonesia, the international low oil price has provided an excellent opportunity for consumption subsidy further reform for sustainable development reasons. It is in this time of crisis, the spirit of partnership and co-operation among global citizenship is becoming increasingly crucial to be significantly strengthened to achieve global energy transition target and succeed in striking the balance of energy trilemma – energy security, social impact and environmental sensitivity.
