This case study examines decarbonization pathways for a glass production site using green electricity and hydrogen. It assesses technical and economic feasibility, offering insights for reducing emissions in heavy industry.

Zhang Y.

This paper examines the implications of shale gas development in China for indoor and outdoor air quality and greenhouse gas emissions. It highlights trade-offs between energy transition and environmental/climate goals, offering policy insi…

Vashold L.

This paper proposes a unified modelling framework for projecting sectoral greenhouse gas emissions. It integrates different sectors' emission pathways to provide scenarios useful for policy-making and transition planning. Specific methods a…

Almeida Benalcázar E.

This paper analyzes how the choice of CO/H2/CO2 gas mix source affects greenhouse gas emissions and production costs in ethanol production via gas fermentation. It suggests that the composition of feed gas is critical for both decarbonizati…

Jørgensen A.

This paper assesses the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of biodiesel derived from poultry fat. It examines the potential of this renewable fuel to reduce emissions, contributing to sustainable energy transition.
