This paper proposes a damping-accumulating discrete grey power model for collaborative prediction of energy transition. It demonstrates the model's effectiveness and contributes to improving prediction accuracy.

N Heriyah, Putri.Alya, Mesa.Neng

This systematic review examines how public investment in renewable energy R&D interacts with geopolitical risks and economic uncertainty in the transportation subsector. Following PRISMA guidelines, 25 peer-reviewed studies (2010–2025) were…

This study compares women's participation in the cobalt value chain in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the nickel value chain in Indonesia. It finds that different stages of development and policy choices lead to different outcomes…

Christina C. Gyenge

This paper introduces a novel CO2-based redox flow battery (CRB) technology that addresses the intermittency of renewables, supporting energy transition and industrial decarbonization. It emphasizes a systemic design approach for large-scal…

Xianwen Lu, Chengfu Wang, Hua Sun +5

This paper proposes an improved Shapley value method for economic dispatch of multi-park integrated energy systems (PIES), considering carbon emissions, thermal network demand response, and benefit sharing. It uses GANs for scenario generat…

United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

This paper analyzes the growing global demand for critical energy transition minerals (CETM) such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earths, exploring the opportunities and challenges for developing countries in mining, processing, and trade. It …

Takudzwa Musekiwa, Noëleen Murray

This systematic review examines South Africa's energy transition's impact on poverty and employment. It finds that while new jobs are created, they are often short-term, low-quality, or geographically mismatched with coal-dependent regions.…

Vertical farming faces high energy costs, but could reduce them by participating in energy markets. This paper explores opportunities for vertical farms to provide flexibility services (day-ahead, balancing, flexibility markets) by adjustin…

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…

Sachin Peddada

This paper examines the global clean energy transition through world systems theory and historical materialism, contrasting US market-led shale extraction with China's state-coordinated renewable dominance. It argues that the renewable tran…

Shijun Ma, Jing Meng, Tianyang Lei +7

This paper develops a plant-level decarbonization pathway model for global oil refineries, coupling refinery-specific characteristics with low-carbon technology costs. It finds that carbon capture and storage and clean hydrogen can substant…

This review critically examines the use of biochar—a tunable, carbon-rich material from biomass—for electrochemical energy storage in batteries. It highlights how microstructural control, surface functionality, and graphitization influence …

Nagwa Amin Abdelkawy, Angham Ben Brayek

This study uses multivariate wavelet coherence to examine how institutional quality aligns with carbon efficiency over time. Comparing GCC and non-GCC emerging economies, it finds that governance is strongly associated with carbon efficienc…

Nico Edwards

This paper frames military decarbonization as a warfighting opportunity, exploring how green transitions can enhance military advantage while meeting climate goals. It offers a novel perspective on energy transition applications beyond trad…
