V. Seithümmer, S. Kaufmann, Felix Jonathan Brucker +3

This paper presents a novel fully electrified CO2 loop integrating direct air capture (DAC) with plasma-based calcination. Atmospheric CO2 is captured via alkaline absorption, solidified as CaCO3, then decomposed by rotating gliding arc pla…

S. Stokes, C. Philips, H. Haghighi

This paper presents industry guidelines for setting CO2 impurity specifications across the CCUS value chain, developed by a Joint Industry Project (JIP) involving 12 operators and 6 research institutions. It introduces a holistic approach t…

O. Inah, P. Sotenga, U. Akuru

This study analyzes decarbonization pathways for South Africa's manufacturing sector using an integrated Kaya-LMDI decomposition and genetic algorithm optimization. Historical analysis shows emissions growth driven by residual carbon factor…

G. García, F. Dubost, H. Dumont +6

This paper introduces a novel technology for in-situ injectivity testing in reservoirs, crucial for secondary/tertiary recovery and CCUS operations. It uses a modified deep transient testing technique with a surface-controlled circulating s…

Jinlei Li, Junyan Li, Siyuan Fang +14

This study reports scalable synthesis of Linde Type A zeolite from halloysite clay via atomic rearrangement, achieving CO2 adsorption capacity of 5.0 mmol/g, high CO2/N2 selectivity (178), and robust cyclic stability. The transformation fro…

Jinlei Li, Junyan Li, Siyuan Fang +5

This study demonstrates that kaolin clay can be converted into high-performance LTA zeolite for CO2 capture, achieving record adsorption capacities across a wide concentration range (from ambient air to flue gas) with excellent cycling stab…

Mansour Almuwallad

This study develops a multi-scale digital twin framework integrating physics-informed neural networks for real-time optimization and predictive control of amine-based CO2 capture. Validated against pilot-scale data, it achieves temperature …

J. Pandit, Saw Hong Lim, K. Chan

This paper addresses the high energy consumption of solvent regeneration in CO2 capture, which accounts for over 80% of total energy demand. CO2CRC's novel hybrid capture technology reduces regeneration costs through lower temperatures, red…

D. M. Kinyua

This exploratory study analyzes the influence of the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) on ESG risk management strategies of five leading companies listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Findings indicate that whil…

G. Ormazabal

This paper examines mechanisms for generating trust in sustainability reporting, arguing that credibility requires a village of stakeholders (boards, capital providers, regulators, etc.) each contributing through different channels. It iden…

Paweł Szalacha

This paper compares CSRD/ESRS E1 disclosure requirements with actual reporting practices of Polish companies in environmentally impactful sectors. Content analysis of 2024 reports shows progress in narrative descriptions of climate risks bu…

B. Solikhah, Ching‐Lung Chen, Pei‐Yu Weng

This study examines how governance strength, financial pressure, and family control influence ESG reporting biases (overstatement and understatement). Strong governance reduces greenwashing, while high short-term financing risk increases it…

Le Luo, Xin Tan, Q. Zhou

This paper conducts a systematic review of economic consequences of ESG practices disaggregated by the ESRS framework. It reveals that climate change, consumers, and own workforce dominate the literature, while biodiversity and circular eco…

Andrea Appolloni, G. Scandurra, A. Thomas

This study evaluates banks' non-financial disclosure by examining ESG practices and adherence to integrated reporting. Using NLP methods including cosine similarity and clustering, it finds high ESG disclosure but weak consistency with inte…

Cindy Shi-Xiang You, Tiffany C. H. Leung, Teresa Chu

This study examines the impact of the ESG Guide revision on disclosure quality among Hong Kong listed companies. Using manual evaluations of 1,529 firms for 2019 and 2020, it finds that overall ESG disclosure quality improved slightly after…

K. Kanimozhi, C. Vethirajan

This study examines the relationship between ESG disclosure levels and corporate accountability among listed companies using statistical methods and SEM. Results show that increased ESG disclosure positively affects corporate accountability…

Mohammad Talha

This study examines the early effects of the EU's CSRD on firms' sustainability and financial performance using panel data from 2017-2023. Using a difference-in-differences approach, it finds that mandatory ESG disclosure leads to significa…

Shaoyu Han, Yeng Wai Lau, Saidatunur Fauzi Saidin

This paper examines the impact of ESG disclosure on market value and investor behavior in agribusiness. Using a 5-year panel of 150 firms, it finds that a one-point increase in ESG disclosure score raises market capitalization by $0.45 bill…

M. Noor, M. Sari

This study examines how financial leverage and ESG disclosure influence greenwashing in Indonesian energy sector companies. Results show that high leverage reduces greenwashing due to creditor pressure, while ESG disclosure actually encoura…

Musmailina Mustafa Kamal, Nurul Azlin Azmi, Rahimah Mohamed Yunos +2

This study analyzes ESG disclosure trends in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand from 2015 to 2023. Indonesia leads in social and governance pillars but not environmental. Disclosure increased across all countries after 2019, drive…
