Nature Energy, Published online: 30 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41560-024-01505-xEU emissions trading system carbon prices have surged since 2017. Here the authors consider sources of this increase and note that increased foresight driven by stronger commitment to climate targets has played a role. Prices also run the risk of dropping if policy credibility...

Nature Energy, Published online: 30 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41560-024-01551-5A detailed understanding of defects in kesterite solar cells is still lacking. Shi et al. identify a key defect and its formation mechanism and use alloying to suppress it, achieving solar cells with 14.2% certified efficiency.

Nature Energy, Published online: 30 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41560-024-01534-6Ion migration is generally understood to detrimentally impact the operational stability of perovskite solar cells, yet the underlying mechanism is not fully clear. By decoupling ion migration from other effects, research now shows that electric field screening induced by mobile...

Nature Energy, Published online: 29 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41560-024-01520-yA key issue in net energy analysis is the omission of the effects of end-use efficiencies on the energy returns of technologies. Now, an analysis shows that these effects strongly favour the energy returns of wind power and solar photovoltaics, which are found to be higher than...

Nature Energy, Published online: 29 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41560-024-01544-4The understanding of justice in the energy sector has now been harmonized across stakeholders, causing risk, reward and — in particular — responsibility to be reallocated towards energy companies and governments. Energy decision-makers today will be held legally accountable...
