This study examines how the transition to clean energy and environmental technologies affects unemployment in BRICS and G7 countries. Results show that energy transition increases employment in developing countries but decreases it in devel…

Xiatong Li, Jun‐Jie Zhu, Yuqing Yan +2

This US national-scale assessment of methane leakage thresholds for wastewater biogas recovery finds leakage rates range from 0.4% to 65%, with many facilities exceeding net-zero thresholds (2-10%). Grid decarbonization shifts viability tow…

Ruth V. Hamilton, John R. Underhill

This paper analyzes offshore spatial competition driven by the energy transition, using the UK North Sea as a case. It highlights subsurface, seabed, water column, and airspace conflicts, emphasizing geological storage for decarbonization. …

Ruth V. Hamilton, John R. Underhill

This paper analyzes the conflict between fishing and offshore wind in the English North Sea, examining challenges for geospatial planning in the energy transition. It quantifies overlap between fishing activity and wind farm plans, proposin…
