Security aspects of future renewable energy systems–A short overview
Open accessAbstract
Energy security is sometimes used to advocate renewable energy systems. Renewable energy systems can improve some aspects of security, but they will not automatically lead to the removal of all types of security problems and new problems will most certainly arise. This paper analyses energy security aspects of renewable energy systems on the basis of a broad typology on energy and security. Renewable energy sources do not suffer from the same long-term resource availability problems as finite fossil resources and their geographical location is less concentrated, but other issues such as dependence on variable flowing resources and competition for scarce land resources will grow in importance. Many security issues related to energy are also dependent on the energy carrier rather than the energy resource and on the existence of effectively functioning institutions and regulations. New interdependencies will appear and will have to be handled within future international and bilateral institutional frameworks.

In the citing paper
“Rare or critical materials needed for renewable technologies may be concentrated in fewer countries than fossil fuels are today, though material supply risks could be mitigated with increased availability and quality of substitutes as well as increased recycling [56].”
From Energy system resilience – A review (2021) · cites this paper as [56]
In the citing paper
“Renewables are also subject to economies of scale which suggest that a significant share of renewable power production capacity will be in sites with an as large or even larger capacity than many existing fossil fuel plants [56,116].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
