This paper analyzes how green extractivism in the Morowali nickel industrial corridor in Indonesia leads to land dispossession and spatial injustice for indigenous communities. Using a socio-legal and political ecology approach, it reveals …

Abhishek N. Srivastava, Arun Krishna Vuppaladadiyam, Rakhi Punnadan Koroth +8

This review explores how AI-driven circular economy approaches can transform waste management, reduce GHG emissions, and recover resources. It proposes a three-level CE framework (micro, meso, macro) and discusses challenges in implementati…

Tansu Galimova, Rasul Satymov, Dmitrii Bogdanov +2

This study presents the first techno-economic system-level comparison of point source capture (PSC) and direct air capture (DAC) under Nordic conditions, using Finland as a case. Results show that a system utilizing PSC reduces annual syste…

This paper addresses data quality challenges in corporate Scope 3 emissions, including information gaps, greenwashing, and low comparability. It proposes a modified EEIO-LCA model following the GHG Protocol to improve estimation accuracy. T…

Qosimov, Oybek

The rapid integration of solar PV causes reverse power flows in distribution networks, leading to voltage rise and increased losses. This study proposes intelligent voltage control methods using OLTC transformers and AI-based forecasting to…

Vega-Paredes, Maria, Gómez-Rodríguez, çamanda, Ghemis, Radu +3

This study optimizes the CO2 feeding strategy in a three-cell electromethanogenesis (EMG) stack for biogas upgrading. Semi-continuous low-rate CO2 injection increased specific methane content while maintaining production rate, achieving 88%…

Blom, Sander, Octaviano, Ryvo, van Zoelen, Rob

This report analyzes balancing of regional hydrogen distribution grids in the Netherlands, transitioning from project-specific bilateral arrangements to a harmonized system. It explores flexibility options, response-time requirements, and t…

RACHAH, AMIRA, Muñoz Ortiz, Miguel, Lokar, Nina

This deliverable from the DINAMINE project presents a techno-economic assessment (TEA) of low- and zero-emission transport alternatives for small and medium-sized mining operations. It evaluates battery-electric systems considering power de…

Freda, Wu

This working paper evaluates the commercial viability of industrial CCUS projects under the US 45Q tax credit structure using discounted cash flow analysis. It compares the impact of the phased credit on net present value across sectors and…

Yuhao Huang, Novarun Deb, Hamidreza Zareipour

This paper analyzes the sustainability implications of rapidly growing AI data center electricity demand on power systems. It evaluates both short-run operational and long-run planning mechanisms, assessing risks of increased emissions and …
