This study analyzes four carbon revenue recycling schemes in China's carbon neutrality path using a dynamic CGE model. Lump-sum transfers to households improve welfare and reduce urban-rural income gaps, while indirect tax cuts minimize GDP…

W. Qiu, Hebin Ruan, Xiaoxiao Yu +3

This study proposes a dual-agent deep reinforcement learning framework for low-carbon economic dispatch in wind-integrated microgrids. A PPO agent minimizes operating costs while a SAC agent targets carbon emission reduction, combined via a…

This paper comprehensively reviews green hydrogen hubs (GHHs), covering internal technologies from conversion to end-use, grid support and auxiliary services, integration challenges, and policy frameworks. It synthesizes lessons from global…

M. Rana, T. Rao

This systematic review analyzes how carbon finance integrates into supply chain management, covering 47 articles (2011-2024) from top ABDC journals. It categorizes mechanisms like carbon pricing and offsets, identifies research gaps, and ou…

The EU will implement the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) by 2026, imposing a carbon tariff on imports to prevent carbon leakage from the EU ETS. This analysis quantifies how the ETS and CBAM affect firms' supply choices, domestic…

Olga Petrychenko, Tymur Stoliaryk, Sergey Goolak +4

This paper systematically presents staged recommendations for integrating power limitation systems (EPL and SHaPoLi) with alternative fuels to decarbonize maritime vessels. It finds that power limitation via controllable pitch propellers wi…
