This paper uses a country-industry-year panel of 25 EU member states and 39 industries from 2003-2020 to examine the effect of energy market integration (EMI) on low-carbon technology innovation (LCTI) quantity and quality. An EMI index is …

Ruoya Zhao, Shi Yin

Using provincial panel data from 31 Chinese provinces (2015-2024), this paper empirically identifies the causal impact of digital technology adoption on low-carbon economic transition via two-way fixed effects, IV, and bootstrap mediation t…

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 paper presents a well-to-wheel analysis of greenhouse gas emissions from LNG (liquefied natural gas) used as a fuel for long-haul trucks in a European context. It evaluates the full lifecycle emissions, comparing LNG to diesel, and dis…

Xiaolong Wang, Zhiyun Ji, Xiaohui Fan +8

This study proposes a low-carbon cold-bonding briquetting process for iron ore concentrate to produce blast furnace burden. By optimizing binder, pressure, moisture, and curing, the briquettes meet cold-strength requirements for BF burden a…

Lidija Kraujalienė, Atif Yaseen, Saulius Kromalcas +1

This study analyzes the impact of AI, energy consumption, and economic growth on CO2 emissions using Japanese data from 1995-2024. AI and energy consumption increase emissions, while exports decrease them. Recommends shifting to renewables …

Guanqiong Ye, Siqi Li, Han Zhang +3

This paper proposes a multi-risk framework to evaluate fuel and technology options for maritime decarbonization under uncertainty. It integrates various risk factors to support long-term investment decisions.

Gian Müller, Thomas Schöb, Jann M. Weinand +1

This paper couples a national energy optimization model with Monte Carlo sampling (10,000 runs) across German and British power systems to probabilistically identify technology tipping points. It reveals wide uncertainty in the roles of win…

Seoyong Kim, Jangchul Song, Bonjun Koo

This study compares public acceptance of nuclear power between highly and lowly nuclear-dependent countries in Europe using Eurobarometer data. Perceived benefit and trust are the strongest positive predictors; perceived risk is the stronge…

Kaushal Ramesh, Mathieu Utting

This paper evaluates the geostrategic importance of Australian LNG exports to Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, highlighting its advantages: supply from a like-minded regime, short sailing distance, and no chokepoints. It forecasts a supply d…

Tao Qian, Jinyu Yue, Chongyu Wang +3

This paper discusses the integration of urban energy systems with three-dimensional mobility (flying cars) for the scale-up of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. It highlights the optimization of energy supply infrastru…

Qingshan Li, Lele Zhang, Lei Zhao +1

This critical review integrates carbon mitigation, sink expansion, and ecosystem services into a unified framework. It shows that sectoral decarbonization via renewables and electrification, combined with natural and engineered sinks (CCS, …

Rui Zhong, Mingyan Pan

This study proposes a method to reduce CO2 emissions from new UHPC production by upcycling powders from demolished ultra-high performance concrete. Experiments evaluate the impact on strength and environmental load, demonstrating a promisin…

Hanne Knight

This paper discusses the importance of constructive narratives to promote home heat decarbonization. It offers communication strategies for policymakers and practitioners.

Consolación Sánchez-Sánchez, Juan Manuel Pérez Rodríguez, Alonso Antonio Herrero +1

This comprehensive review examines stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the EU, covering technologies, market trends, and regulatory frameworks. It finds that deployment is accelerating but constrained by high costs, fragment…

Canay Özden‐Schilling

This paper examines lithium's critical role in the energy transition, analyzing extraction processes and supply chain risks while advocating for sustainable sourcing.

Mancke R.

This study compares the environmental performance of conventional Portland cement (CEM I) and alkali-activated binders (geopolymer concrete) under European regulatory frameworks and carbon pricing mechanisms. It evaluates drivers and barrie…
