This paper presents high-resolution LES of a catalyst-free reverse water gas shift reactor for e-SAF production. It shows that small O2 traces in CO2 significantly increase CO production via OH pool. The PaSR subgrid model performs well for…

Junior Management Science

This paper analyzes the impact of ESG regulations across the globe on corporate financial performance. It empirically examines how the presence and stringency of regulations affect ESG scores and stock prices, suggesting that regulation doe…

This study uses a mixed-methods approach (50 ESG reports, 25 legal cases) to analyze the impact of regulatory frameworks, ESG reporting standards, and judicial precedents on corporate environmental accountability. Results show judicial prec…

Lamb, William F., Low, Sean, Gordon, Leo Michael +1

Analyzing 2024 reports from 12 OGCI oil and gas firms, this study finds that while all maintain net-zero targets, their plans for scaling carbon dioxide removal (CDR) are vague and project-focused. Afforestation/reforestation as nature-base…
