RSPB resources guide businesses in choosing and analysing biodiversity metrics to support the 'Locate' phase of TNFD's LEAP approach. Using hypothetical mining, onshore wind, and agricultural organisations built from real-world sites, they …

Yo'ldosheva, Oygul Zokir qizi

This paper examines how green industrialisation can upgrade Uzbekistan's export structure as the EU CBAM and the 2027 end of GSP+ reshape market access. Using a qualitative policy-analytic approach, it identifies five pathways: clean power …

MARTIN-DOMINGO, Luis

A podcast summary of a study proposing a system dynamics simulation framework for airline decarbonization pathways. It models interacting levers such as SAF, fleet renewal, and operational efficiency to explore long-term decarbonization tra…

This review traces the power-delivery chain from AI accelerators and workloads through rack converters, UPS, storage, and microgrids to the grid interconnection point. It shows that location, temporal variability, and controllability—not an…

Yasaman Cheraghi, Reidar B. Bratvold, Aojie Hong +2

This study develops a custom simulation environment modeling the dynamic energy landscape to 2050 and a multi-criteria sequential decision-making (SDM) framework for allocating funds across oil & gas, renewables, and CO2 reduction. Using re…

Changqing xu, Tianyu Jia, Jianchuan Qi +13

A global gridded dataset (0.25°, 1980–2025) assessing onshore and offshore wind resources and power potential using ERA5 reanalysis. It provides five metrics—capacity factor, capacity density, energy density, technical potential, and develo…

Sami Alsaadi, Mohammad Aliff Shakir, Mardiana Idayu Ahmad

A comparative review of biodiesel from vegetative and animal feedstocks, assessing lipid extraction techniques and five production routes with emphasis on transesterification. It evaluates physicochemical properties against ASTM 6751 and EN…

Jeethu J. C., Kaladevi. V.

This review synthesizes how wetlands act as carbon sinks in soils, plants, and peat, contributing to both climate mitigation and adaptation. It examines degradation drivers (drainage, urbanization, peat extraction) and the mitigation potent…

Premanand Meher, Nandita Debnath

A survey of 200 farmers in Sikkim, India, examines how climate change affects large cardamom, maize, and ginger cultivation. It finds yield declines, rising pest and disease outbreaks, and growing reliance on water conservation, planting-da…

Elnaz Azadi, Ali Emrouznejad, Xun Zhou

This study proposes an integrated network Data Envelopment Analysis model combined with a second-scoring auction mechanism to evaluate decarbonisation under cap-and-trade systems. It links emissions-trading design with firm-level efficiency…

Babel M.

This paper proposes using shielded NFTs (privacy-preserving non-fungible tokens) to enable end-to-end digital tracing of carbon emissions across supply chains. It aims to preserve data confidentiality while ensuring authenticity and traceab…
