This chapter examines Alaska's energy systems, its fossil and renewable resources, and the state's energy challenges and opportunities. Declining natural gas production in Cook Inlet creates an urgent need for new energy sources for the Rai…

Sarkar S.

This paper provides a global historical perspective on environmental movements and the science of net zero. It examines the evolution of environmental activism and the scientific foundations of the net zero concept.

Selvakumar P.

This paper explores the role of sustainable finance in green finance and investment. The lack of an abstract limits detail, but the topic is relevant to GX.

Ayush Awasthi, yogita thareja

This paper critically analyzes the global LPG crisis, examining its causes (rising demand, geopolitical instability, supply chain disruptions, policy mismanagement) and consequences. Using deductive and inductive reasoning, it identifies fa…

ÖZBAY G, GOKSAL FP

This study integrates Artificial Neural Networks and SHAP to model wood pyrolysis for biochar production. The model achieves high prediction accuracy (R²=0.987 for yield, 0.991 for carbon content). SHAP analysis reveals that pyrolysis tempe…

Chen C

This study develops a screening-level framework to assess the hydrodynamic transport of fire-derived pollutants from floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems. Using a 3D model (EFDC+), it evaluates a worst-case fire scenario and finds rapid atte…

This paper explores policy instruments for transforming food systems, potentially relevant to climate change mitigation, but details are unclear.

Nallapaneni Sasidhar

This conceptual paper proposes using the aquatic life cycles of mosquitoes and non-biting midges for sewage treatment, producing insect biomass from organic matter. The process includes bio-energy with carbon capture (BECCS) and generates n…

Mandume, Celso Manuel Cristóvão

This interdisciplinary study analyzes environmental contamination, food security, and ecosystem health in southern Angola. It assesses impacts of desertification, droughts, water scarcity, and climate change, highlighting ecotoxicological c…

Vogt, Georg, Novikova, Tatiana, Junak, Karolina

This report summarizes the tunES project, where seven National Energy Agencies analyzed optimal implementation strategies for the revised EPBD, focusing on EPCs, BRPs, and SRIs. The project adapted the Impact Assessment methodology for nati…

Chakarvarti SK, Manocha A

This paper reviews advanced thermal interface materials (TIMs) combining metallic nanostructures and phase change materials for energy-efficient electronics. It highlights the patented CV22** architecture that reduces thermal resistance and…

Zornitsa Yordanova, Hamed Nozari, Yanko Hristozov +1

This research proposes a conceptual framework for low-energy smart cities using goal-oriented agent-based intelligence. Energy goals are dynamically adjusted to environmental conditions via multi-agent negotiation and digital twins. Scenari…

Paterakis, Nikolaos, Vergara, Pedro, Möller, Matthias +2

This report assesses how quantum technologies (sensing, communications, computing) can address measurement, cybersecurity, and computational challenges in future power and energy systems. Focusing on the Dutch research and innovation landsc…

Huong Dinh Thi, Trang Trần Văn, Ngoc Anh Nguyen +2

This study examines how AI-driven CSR and green HRM enhance low-carbon behavior and financial performance in the hospitality sector, offering practical implications.

A. Bershadskyi, A. Chystiakov, A. Juriček +4

This study investigates low-carbon clay-based geopolymers for efficient uptake of radionuclides from industrially polluted environments. Geopolymers offer a dual benefit: reducing CO2 emissions as a cement alternative and serving as a remed…

Róisín Commane

This paper highlights a potential conflict between climate justice and environmental justice, arguing that greenhouse gas emission reductions do not necessarily lead to improved air quality. It calls for careful consideration of trade-offs …

Singh R.

This paper explores the role of HRM practices in achieving net zero goals, focusing on how employee engagement and skill development can support organizational sustainability and decarbonization.

Palandri C.

This paper evaluates the actual contribution of biofuels to greenhouse gas emission savings, accounting for factors like land use change and production processes. It finds that the net savings are limited and highlights challenges in relyin…

PISACANE, LUCIO, Mirenda, Cloe, CELLINI, MARCO +15

This document compiles materials from the gEneSys Autumn School on gender and intersectional inequalities in energy transition, including program, brochure, and presentations. It highlights the social dimensions of energy transition, emphas…
