This study compares three retrofit pathways—insulation, extensive green roof, and rooftop PV—for two 40+ year-old lamella residential buildings in Novi Beograd, Serbia, using calibrated dynamic simulation and cradle-to-use LCA. Insulation a…

The clean energy transition reduces fossil fuel reliance but creates new dependence on critical minerals whose processing China dominates, giving it leverage over prices and supply. Countries are pursuing industrial policy and tariffs to di…

Clustering 760 Portuguese renewable projects, the study identifies 18 energy-land system types. Northern wind systems favor co-location and co-governance; southern solar systems emphasize output and externality mitigation. Large projects cl…

New York State created a market-based solicitation and redefined what counts as clean energy to enable transmission investments. The awarded projects raised new environmental justice concerns over siting while statewide emissions paradoxica…

This chapter argues conventional gas is neither a universal bridge fuel nor inherently incompatible with decarbonization; its transitional role is conditional, system-specific, regionally differentiated, and time-bound. Transitional value v…

A comparative study of LPG-to-induction stove conversion programs in Ecuador, India, Ghana, and Indonesia. It finds government regulation, subsidies, education, and technical assistance are decisive enablers, while weak electrical infrastru…

A decision-theoretic model shows that in multiparty systems, Green votes reflect strategic coordination as well as environmental preference: climate-minded voters may back a viable center-left party to defeat anti-climate right parties. Dut…

This paper analyzes Policy Labs as tools for public policy design in the coal-region energy transition. It finds that efficacy depends less on financial scale than on functional role architecture, dedicated external facilitation, and instit…

Classifying 760 Portuguese renewable projects via cluster analysis, the study identifies 18 energy-land system types. Wind in the North favors co-location and co-governance; solar in the South emphasizes output and externality mitigation. L…

Abel Cyrille MOH MOH

This thesis assesses how climate measures affect green growth. Using supermodular game theory, it finds green finance has a supermodular effect in the energy transition game, but weakens under negative externality games, recommending strong…

Dr. Miguel Schloss

After 30 years of COP negotiations, the author argues that international climate efforts have emphasized awareness-raising and persuasion while outcomes have systematically fallen short of agreed goals. The paper calls for a shift toward ou…

This paper proposes a data-driven agenda linking raw materials supply and renewable energy transition in Latin America and the Caribbean. Involving the International Union of Geological Sciences and universities in Germany, Peru, and Colomb…

This paper presents a participatory multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) framework to help municipalities prioritize climate and energy actions under governance and resource constraints. Integrating environmental, economic, social, techn…

This thesis examines the policy, institutional, and innovation factors shaping wave energy commercialization in Ireland under its 2050 carbon-neutrality law. Using Denmark's wind success as a benchmark, it analyzes funding, IP protection, i…

An empirical study examining the interplay between financial development, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions in Sub-Saharan Africa. It probes how financial deepening shapes energy use and emissions pathways. Without an abstract, details …

This study integrates Peltier modules into a PV dual-axis tracking system as a self-powered cooling solution. A 170W experimental rig achieved ~57% higher power output than a fixed PV system (24% from the Peltier effect) and reduced panel t…

Gazar, Amir M., Jackson, Chloe, Mavrommati, Georgia +2

This archive preserves the original data file used in the PHASED study on correlated uncertainty propagation for multi-impact decision support in electrical system decarbonization. It credits NREL ATB and the Open Energy Data Initiative, re…

Besleaga, Andrei Nicolae

Six distributed-ledger designs spanning supply-chain certification, healthcare, billing, recycling, telecom/EV roaming, and carbon-credit MRV share one Sustainability-First Consensus (SFC) ledger profile that turns sustainability criteria i…
