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 …

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…

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 …

This study dynamically assesses decarbonization pathways for construction and demolition waste (CDW) toward net-zero by 2050, focusing on the shift from saturation to synergy. It evaluates the cumulative impact of different strategies.

Jingchao Sun, Hongming Na, Honggang Pan +7

This paper proposes an optimized decarbonization pathway integrated with a carbon trading mechanism for China's steel industry to achieve carbon neutrality. It models energy transition and technology choices in steel production, analyzing h…

Xu Li, Jianhua Deng, Jichun Liu +3

This paper proposes a sustainable optimization and energy management framework for integrated energy systems that collaboratively considers economy, risk, and resilience under policy shocks. It contributes to system design during energy tra…

Krüger J.J.

This paper quantitatively assesses greenhouse gas emission reduction potentials in major European sectors using a bootstrap-based nonparametric efficiency analysis. It estimates sectoral efficiency frontiers and compares current emissions t…

Nurcan Kilinc‐Ata, Liliana Proskuryakova

This study examines the dual impact of digitalization and innovation on CO2 emissions in eight MENA and two South Caucasus countries from 2000-2020 using FMOLS and quantile panel regression. Results show that economic growth increases CO2 e…

Liu Wan, Zhechong Luo, Xiao Lang

This study analyzes the relationship between industrial robot density and carbon emissions using a threshold model. It finds that robot adoption initially increases emissions but beyond a threshold reduces them due to efficiency gains, offe…

(著者不明)

This paper uses spatial analysis to examine how digital economy dynamics and green technology innovation interact to drive low-carbon development. It identifies regional spillover effects and technology diffusion patterns, offering policy i…

Ha Thi Thu Nguyen

This study examines the impacts of economic growth, FDI, technological innovation, renewable energy, and forest area on CO2 emissions in Vietnam using STIRPAT and ARDL models (1990-2023). Results show economic growth drives long-run emissio…

Aslı Eylem Kolbaş

This doctoral project investigates a participatory design initiative for urban energy transition in Genk, Belgium, analyzing the role of youth as intermediaries between institutional plans and local communities. Using theoretical frameworks…
