GX & Decarbonization Research
This page provides an English interface to the gxceed GX paper corpus. The corpus aggregates papers from 13 open scholarly metadata sources and uses AI-assisted classification to identify signals related to measurement, policy narratives, outcomes, implementation, industrial adoption, and verification.
The goal is not only to discover papers, but to observe how GX research is distributed across research substance, implementation narratives, external expectations, implementation substance, and judgment formation.
Summaries are AI-assisted. Always refer to the original paper for authoritative conclusions.

Low Carbon Is Not Yet Circular: Why decarbonization and circularity are different achievements, and why responsibility must circulate with the material
Nelson, Priscilla P.
This essay argues that measuring mining decarbonization via emissions intensity can mask a linear system. It distinguishes circularity into four loops, each capable of stagnating independently of carbon reductions. It cautions that circular…
