This paper argues that the IMO Net-Zero Framework's pricing and fuel standards must incorporate a life cycle perspective to avoid shifting environmental impacts to the fuel supply chain and address competition for clean energy across sector…

Roy Sarkis

This paper studies the macroeconomic dynamics of climate policy in a multi-sector dynamic general equilibrium model with renewable and non-renewable energy. It finds that gradual policy implementation sharply reduces transition costs (welfa…

This study develops a method integrating n-alkane and amino sugar biomarkers with δ13C-N/C analysis to quantify five organic carbon sources (autochthonous halophytes, allochthonous terrestrial wood, marine algae, fungal necromass, bacterial…

Zhang H.

This paper proposes a machine learning-based method to assess the risk level and analyze the impact range of CO2 pipeline leakage in CCUS, contributing to the safety of decarbonization technologies.

Yang P.J.

This paper reviews the current development status and future application prospects of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technology. It summarizes technological trends in capture, transport, storage, and utilization, highlightin…

This paper proposes 'Carbon Beta,' a market-based metric for assessing firms' exposure to climate transition risk. Addressing institutional investors' challenges in climate risk assessment, it offers a practical method derived from stock ma…

Wang R.

This paper empirically analyzes the drivers of sustainable green finance in OECD countries from the perspective of country-level risk and trade. It clarifies the impact of macroeconomic factors on the development of sustainable finance.
