This paper proposes binderless densification to address the porosity-packing density trade-off in carbon aerogels for hydrogen storage, aiming to improve storage capacity.

Na Du, Baoyi Liu, Ao Gong +4

This paper proposes a deep reinforcement learning approach for optimal dispatch of regional integrated energy systems with carbon capture and trading. The method adapts to dynamic carbon prices, balancing economic and environmental objectiv…

Franziska Sucker, Clair Gammage

This paper examines South Africa's carbon pricing mechanism and its potential to balance decarbonization with trade competitiveness. It suggests that well-designed carbon pricing can reduce emissions while protecting export-oriented industr…

This study conducts a bibliometric and thematic evolution analysis of literature on green branding, ESG accountability, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), revealing how themes have evolved.

Huan Liu, Shaojun Bai

This study applies multidimensional text analysis to corporate ESG reports to examine whether high ESG performers exhibit distinct linguistic patterns. By leveraging NLP methods, it sheds light on the relationship between disclosure quality…

Yuang-Hsiang Chao, Yao-Ming Hong, Amit Kumar Sah +2

This study uses a DiD framework comparing EU (mandatory ESG disclosure) and Japan (voluntary) from 2018-2024. It finds no significant improvement in firm value, but a significant reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon intensity, especially in fi…

This paper proposes a transactive multi-energy resilient framework for decarbonizing integrated power, gas, and heat networks. It focuses on enhancing system resilience and economic efficiency through interoperability of energy carriers.

Tania Bossi, Johannes Gediga

The IPA published its third LCA of global PGM production based on 2022 data, showing that South Africa's coal-intensive grid is the main driver of mining emissions. Scenario analysis indicates a 35-61% reduction in global warming potential …

António CURADO, P. Almeida

This paper examines the energy community niche in Portugal using critical realism and Strategic Niche Management. It identifies three research pathways: technology-driven, socio-governance, and infrastructure-focused, revealing that incumbe…

Analyzing 25 EU member states from 2015-2023, this study finds a paradoxical relationship: renewable electricity capacity per capita reduces energy poverty, but rapid increases in renewable energy share temporarily exacerbate affordability …

Francis Pavloudakis, Christos Roumpos, Evangelos Karlopoulos +1

This paper identifies key dimensions of social impact and land management in surface mining areas, applying them to Greece's Ptolemais lignite basin. It finds that six decades of mining created employment and infrastructure but also structu…
