This article argues that calendrical teleologies like '2050' do not motivate the everyday people leading the U.S. energy transition. Instead, the American pioneer myth, combined with contemporary entrepreneurialism, animates a market-based …

Qiqi Tao, Alexis Tantet, Philippe Drobinski

This paper analyzes retrofit scenarios in France based on building ages, highlighting how the energy performance gap introduces uncertainty in expected savings. It informs more accurate policy planning and prioritization of building renovat…

This study optimizes a microgrid energy management system (EMS) to reduce operating costs. Using the Pelican Optimization Algorithm (POA), it evaluates combinations of renewable sources, battery storage, and demand-side management (DSM) via…

Guelfi D, Pivatello A, Chiesa V

This study evaluates an integrated microgrid combining CHP, PV, battery storage, and heat recovery as an alternative to conventional shore power for cold ironing in grid-constrained ports. In a case study, the proposed configuration achieve…

This paper analyzes how the growing electricity demand from data centers, driven by AI, affects renewable energy adoption and operation. It examines the impact of data center siting and power procurement strategies on renewable markets and …

Hughes, Hunter

This monograph argues that mandatory sustainability disclosure (CSRD, ISSB S2, etc.) compels firms to report value-chain emissions but does not automatically lead to physical reductions. Suppliers in developing countries face a 'Measurement…

Sérgio Augusto Corrêa de Souza

This study analyzes Natura's 2025 Integrated Report to examine how sustainability is integrated into corporate strategy and value creation. It finds alignment with GRI, IFRS S1/S2, TCFD, and TNFD, adoption of double materiality, integration…

Tania Rifat Jahan, Donald J. Docimo

This paper proposes a sustainability-centric control co-design (CCD) framework that simultaneously optimizes physical plant design and controller parameters for energy systems. It defines sustainability metrics across manufacturing, operati…
