A gate-to-gate LCA of a produced water treatment plant in the oil and gas sector. Climate change was the largest impact (81.34 million kg CO2-eq), driven by air stripping and biological processes that account for over 75% of emissions due t…

Javier Lezaun

This article reads geological CO2 sequestration as a chance to rethink the appropriability of nature. It argues that legal and economic constructions of sequestered carbon remain parasitic on the ownership logic legitimizing fossil fuel ext…

Livia Fritz, Lucilla Losi, Christine Merk +4

This piece argues that carbon removal (CDR) projects must properly address justice concerns. Authored by researchers across European institutions, it likely stresses embedding equity and distributional fairness into CDR design and governanc…

OECD

A policy study on how to advance the implementation of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). It addresses institutional design and practical challenges of border carbon adjustment, focusing on embedded-emissions calculation an…

Melissa Nihal CAGLE

An empirical study examining the relationship between digital government maturity and national carbon intensity. It likely tests whether e-government development correlates with lower carbon intensity across countries. Details are unavailab…

Abubakar Sadiq Mahmoud

This work examines the evidence requirements for appraising, permitting, and closing carbon capture and storage projects in hydrocarbon-dependent economies. It frames what data and standards decision-makers need across the CCS lifecycle, wi…

A self-sensing 3D-printable cementitious composite replaces 40 wt.% cement with metakaolin and adds 18 wt.% deinking-paper-sludge biochar as conductive filler. Internal humidity strongly governs electromechanical response, with gauge factor…

Lili Wang, Min Su

An empirical study of how global value chains for low-carbon technologies—solar PV, batteries, hydrogen and critical minerals—are being reconfigured. It links decarbonization industrial policy with the geopolitics of resource sourcing.

Vladislav Karasevich

A report surveying global trends in renewable and low-carbon gases, likely covering hydrogen, biomethane supply and policy landscapes. No abstract is available, so specifics remain unclear. It sits in the adjacent energy-transition space ra…

Tomáš Iľanovský, MARTIN T. PALOU, Radoslav Novotný +4

This study examines the hydration reactions of low-carbon cements, offering materials-science foundations for decarbonizing the cement sector. Authored by researchers across Slovak and Central European institutions, it targets reaction mech…

Amit Sharma, Anam Fatma

This paper analyzes carbon credits and carbon trading as market-based climate mitigation instruments from an economic and policy perspective. It argues that trading improves cost-effectiveness by enabling emission reductions where marginal …

Ezekiel Kelly

A structured comparison of South Africa, India and the lithium triangle argues that transition outcomes hinge on domestic political settlements and a state's position in the hierarchical international financial system. It shows that the com…

Longfeng Weng, Naif Alsagr, Fengsheng Chien

This study examines how green supply chain finance relates to systemic risks—competitiveness, financial instability, and transition-related geopolitical exposure—across 15 Global South economies (2014–2024). Using a composite index of green…

Sefiu Olaitan Amusat, Kabir O. Otun, Dieketseng Tsotetsi +4

This review surveys recent advances in MOF/dual-carbon composites, showing how graphene, activated carbon, and carbon nanotube-graphene frameworks overcome MOFs' poor conductivity and structural fragility. It covers four application areas: …

Sofia Jesus, Catarina Paisana Pires Costa das Neves

This study evaluates European countries' performance on SDG 7 (clean energy) and SDG 13 (climate action) for 2020–2022 using factor and cluster analysis. It identifies two dimensions—green transition efforts and energy consumption/emissions…

Artikov Beruniy, Сухроб Холматов, Nodir Jumaev +4

Using panel data for 13 emerging economies (2007–2024) with FGLS, Driscoll–Kraay errors, and MMQR, the study tests whether institutional quality moderates trade openness effects on renewable energy transition. Gross fixed capital formation …
