This study develops a high-resolution optimization framework for China's cement industry, evaluating deep decarbonization pathways across 31 provinces from 2025 to 2060. It finds a three-phase transition where CCS serves as a bridge until h…

Zheng J.

This paper evaluates the lifecycle cost and carbon emissions of residential solar-plus-storage systems in California, quantifying economic and environmental benefits and providing implications for energy transition policy.

Oppong M.

This paper empirically analyzes the impact of carbon pricing shocks, particularly China's national ETS, on factor returns in emerging markets using cross-country panel data. It finds significant effects on market risk premium and style fact…

Pottinger A.S.

This paper explores pathways to reduce global plastic waste mismanagement and greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, evaluating integrated interventions across the plastic lifecycle and offering policy and industry implications.

Ying Wang, Rui Xie, Xu Ling +4

This paper proposes a non-anticipative flexibility assessment method for hybrid pumped-storage hydropower plants, using a storage-envelope certificate to construct a multi-period active power request region. A case study on the Baishan-Hong…

Ruijun Ma

This study analyzes the impact of ESG disclosure on investor preferences using panel data of Chinese A-share listed firms from 2016-2023. Fixed-effects regressions reveal a significant negative association between ESG scores and excess retu…

Wattana Viriyasitavat, Phoranee Rhuwadhana, Ra-Pee Pattanapanyasat +5

This study conceptualizes digital infrastructure (DI) as a socio-technical design space where sustainability is embedded by design rather than assessed post hoc via ESG reporting. Using PRISMA-based systematic review and realist synthesis, …

Simon Baradziej, Sheng Xu

This paper analyzes how the LA–Long Beach–Shanghai green shipping corridor sustains cooperation despite US-China tensions, introducing concepts of institutional insulation and negotiated gradualism. It finds early milestones in shore power …

Cheng Zhou, Wenyuan Huang, B. Lagrain +2

This review critically analyzes the role of catalysis in amine-based post-combustion CO2 capture, highlighting current challenges and future research directions. CCUS is a cornerstone for carbon neutrality, and catalyst development is key t…

Sofia Polymeni, M. Fotopoulou, Georgios Spanos +8

This paper proposes a framework integrating hydrogen demand forecasting and production scheduling for public transport. Using seasonal forecasting and optimization, it predicts daily demand with <3% error and optimizes green hydrogen from P…

M. Bibih, K. Choukri, M. E. Khaili +1

This paper proposes a transmission-level dual guarantee of origin framework to prevent double counting in renewable electricity and green hydrogen exports. Using a Morocco–Spain case study, it designs the attribution and tracking of environ…

M. Hero, P. Vidmar, Patrick Vlačič +1

This study develops a System Dynamics (SD) framework to evaluate a transcontinental green shipping corridor connecting Shanghai, Jebel Ali, and Koper, integrating port operations, voyage emissions, alternative fuel production, bunkering inf…
