Wind energy deployment in Tunisia: Status, Drivers, Barriers and Research gaps—A Comprehensive review

In its contribution towards fighting climate change, Tunisia aims at reducing greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors through reducing carbon intensity in the country by 41 per cent in 2030, relative to the base year 2010 The Tunisia energy sector mitigation scenario is proactive and incorporate...
