This paper proposes a hierarchical carbon-driven incentive mechanism (PCIM) linking carbon and ammonia markets to boost renewable power-to-ammonia (ReP2A) competitiveness. Results show a 12.9% emission reduction with only a 1.8% revenue los…

Zhisheng Qin, Ying-Jun Lin, Shaojun Liu

This paper uses a tripartite evolutionary game model to analyze how tax incentives affect corporate carbon emission reduction under ESG compliance management. By integrating ISO 37301 compliance frameworks and OECD carbon pricing benchmarks…

Stefan Zylinski

This paper analyzes how green energy transitions in the Global South are shaped by financial subordination in global climate finance. It explores constraints on local agency and the interplay between structural factors and actor autonomy.

M. Manguera

This paper analyzes the impact of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on exports from ASEAN-6 countries. Using a gravity model, it finds that cement and iron/steel sectors are most sensitive to tariff adjustments, with the Ph…

This study analyzes four carbon revenue recycling schemes in China's carbon neutrality path using a dynamic CGE model. Lump-sum transfers to households improve welfare and reduce urban-rural income gaps, while indirect tax cuts minimize GDP…

W. Qiu, Hebin Ruan, Xiaoxiao Yu +3

This study proposes a dual-agent deep reinforcement learning framework for low-carbon economic dispatch in wind-integrated microgrids. A PPO agent minimizes operating costs while a SAC agent targets carbon emission reduction, combined via a…

This paper examines the trade-offs between cost, supply feasibility, and emissions for imported biomass used in power generation in Japan, considering domestic resource constraints. It provides insights into optimal procurement strategies u…

Maris Esdras Tokpassi, Abdellah Benyoucef, Babajide Epe Shari +4

This paper proposes a system dynamics model to simulate sustainable energy transition in Benin, integrating renewable energy deployment, policy interventions, and economic impacts. It provides long-term pathways and insights for policymaker…

Yang Yu

This paper develops a coupled model of flexibility resources and power market trading in a new power system. It integrates a PSO-LS-SVM price prediction model and a bi-level optimization model incorporating carbon, green certificates, and c…

Yanis Rihi

This paper critically analyzes how climate justice risks becoming a tool of domination, using the case of the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) in Senegal. It questions power structures in international climate finance.

Kashif Khaqan, Benedikt Fest, Tim Harrison +1

This study reviews carbon farming in Australian broadacre agriculture via ACCU projects and literature. Thematic analysis reveals progress in adoption but challenges like carbon price and accounting tools. Four scenarios show net zero in ag…
