SATIM is a full sector model of South Africa that includes a detailed representation of key components of the energy system, such as coal supply to power plants from mines, liquid …
The levelized cost of constructing wind farms in propitious sites in South Africa is 16.7% lower than building coal-fired power stations, while the levelized cost of constructing solar farms in ...
Changes in species geographic ranges. For all climate scenarios, our models project widespread range contractions across species with reductions in climatically suitable areas ranging from −3.17 ...
PHES sites. We found 616,000 potentially feasible PH ES sites with storage potential of about 2 3 million Gigawatt-hours (GWh) by using geographic information system (GIS) analysis. This is around 100 times more than required to support a 100% global 1.
The share of energy investment in Africa''s GDP rises to 6.1% in the 2026-30 period, slightly above the average for emerging market and developing economies. But Africa''s energy investment in that period is still only around 5% of the global total in the IEA''s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario.

UPHS plants consist of two reservoirs from which the lower one is underground while the upper one may be located at the land surface or at shallow depth [9]. The concept of UPSH is not new [10 ...
Rapid urbanization is one of the most crucial issues in the world of the 21st century. Notably, the urban heat island phenomenon is becoming more prominent in megacities and their hinterlands in temperate and subtropical climatic regions. In the daytime in summer, there exists a high possibility of accelerating the land surface temperature …
1. Introduction There is a long and rich history of engagement by geographers with energy (see Calvert, 2015), but until recently, the importance of geographical approaches to understanding renewable energy transitions has been largely neglected.As Shove and Walker (2014) argue, energy policy, engineering and material …
