This mini-review comprehensively covers green hydrogen infrastructure, feasibility, and climate impact. It assesses technical challenges, economic viability, and policy support needs, evaluating hydrogen's role in decarbonization.

Hundt S.

This paper analyzes corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs) for renewable energy and the value they bring to decarbonization. It examines the role of PPAs in achieving corporate GHG reduction targets and their economic and market implica…

Zun M.T.

This paper projects global green hydrogen production costs under various scenarios, quantifying cost reductions from technological advances and economies of scale. It identifies when and where renewable hydrogen becomes cost-competitive, hi…

Chen Y.

This study uses prefecture-level city data from China to empirically analyze the impact of green finance on green technology innovation. The results show that green finance policies significantly promote green technology innovation, especia…

Yang J.

This paper examines the impact of green finance on carbon intensity in OECD economies, finding that industrial structure upgrading and green technology innovation serve as mediators. Results show that green finance reduces carbon intensity …

Nguyen H.C.

This empirical study uses international data to analyze how green bond issuance impacts the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It suggests that the growth of the green bond market contributes to SDG attainment.

Sarawagi A.

This paper examines the role of green bonds in achieving emission reduction and sustainable development goals across G20 countries. It assesses the effectiveness of different strategies and provides policy recommendations.

Wang X.

This paper theoretically and empirically examines how imperfect market structures (e.g., imperfect competition, distortions) influence the employment effects of China's emissions trading scheme (ETS). It extends the theoretical framework an…

Li H.

This paper proposes a novel comprehensive analysis model to evaluate the environmental performance of carbon emissions trading policy. It provides empirical evidence on the effectiveness of ETS in reducing emissions and offers insights for …

Yu X.

This paper examines the causal effect of China's carbon emissions trading policy on corporate ESG performance. Using firm-level data, it finds that the policy positively impacts ESG scores, providing empirical evidence for the co-benefits o…

Haites E.
