This study shows that for computational matrix operations, shifting computation in time and space based on carbon intensity yields far greater carbon savings (up to 354x) than energy reductions from code-level optimizations (up to 51x). A r…

Bell, Peter

This paper examines the distinction between global copper availability and exchange-specific deliverability, using the 2025-2026 U.S. copper tariff episode. It develops the concept of the 'delivery boundary' and argues that tariff expectati…

YOLADI, Mehmet

This digital twin implementation sizes and dispatches a solar-assisted, grid-connected green hydrogen refueling hub using hourly demand and carbon-aware linear programming. It integrates real-world data from İzmir and the Turkish grid, prov…

This article introduces 'capability sovereignty' to explain why some resource-rich states convert endowments into developmental power. Using a four-component index (CSI) for China, US, and Brazil, it finds conversion capacity predicts auton…

Cowell, Jan

This paper examines Scope 3 Category 1 (Purchased Goods and Services) emissions management in financial institutions, using BNY as a case study. It finds fragmented disclosure and argues that the hybrid calculation method offers the best ba…

This study presents a conceptual process design and life-cycle GHG analysis for converting mixed plastic waste into polymer-grade olefins via pyrolysis, e-cracking, compression, and separation. Eight scenarios are assessed, combining centra…

Gabrielli P.

This paper analyzes the role of storage power purchase agreements (PPAs) in Europe, examining contract models and policy frameworks that can facilitate the deployment of energy storage. It provides insights for integrating renewables and en…

Wang Z.

This paper analyzes the development of China's emissions trading system (ETS) from a political economy perspective, examining the interplay of political and economic factors in its design and implementation. It highlights the characteristic…
