This paper applies multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) to analyze net-zero transition pathways for energy islands in South Italy. It prioritizes renewable energy deployment and policy options, considering local constraints, and offers pra…

May Zune, Hadi Arbabi, Danielle Densley Tingley

This study evaluates whole-life carbon emissions of UK housing retrofit scenarios (fabric, systems, combined) and shows that for South Yorkshire, any 1.5°C-compatible carbon budget will be exhausted within three years, even with grid and ma…

Herian Atma, Franco Ruzzenenti, M.A. van den Broek

This paper proposes a techno-economic framework to evaluate plant-level decarbonization options in coal-dependent economies, applied to Indonesia. It compares CCUS, fuel switching, and other measures, prioritizing them by cost and feasibili…

Zihan Zhen, Jianxiang Shen, Kangxin An +6

Using a spatially explicit model, this study shows that diversified energy supply (hydropower, nuclear, biomass) safeguards cost-effective and risk-mitigated chemical decarbonization in China compared to wind-solar-dominated strategies. By …

Yushu Wang, Wenli Du, Minglei Yang +1

This study develops a high-resolution optimization framework for China's cement industry, evaluating deep decarbonization pathways across 31 provinces from 2025 to 2060. It finds a three-phase transition where CCS serves as a bridge until h…
