Abstract
Several issues such as sustainability, CO 2 footprint, and energy supply security which primarily resulted from fossil fuel emissions have become the main concerns for analysts and policymakers worldwide. Therefore, to meet the goals of sustainable energy as well as the switch to a net-zero and low-carbon economy, energy systems must be diversified by increasing the implementation of renewable and clean sources of energy. This paper focused on the deep analysis of the key role of bioenergy, geothermal, solar, hydropower or hydrogen, ocean, and wind (BIGSHOW) renewable energy in producing clean energy aiming to attain the sustainable net-zero norms and climate change mitigation. Furthermore, AI technology and its applicability were also introduced to enhance the management efficiency of BIGSHOW in energy-use strategies. More importantly, barriers and bottlenecks of deploying BIGSHOW projects and applications were comprehensively analyzed. Finally, policy implications and vital solutions were thoroughly presented aiming to increase the penetration of BIGSHOW to the energy system. In short, this work could be strong and persuasive evidence for speeding up the shifting progress of a precarious fossil fuel-based economy to a sustainable low-carbon one, in which BIGSHOW has been known as the core role.
