Indonesia's B50 biodiesel programme, launched in July 2026, aims to replace petroleum diesel with domestically produced biofuel. This integrative review identifies nine interconnected challenge domains, arguing that the main risk is the mig…

Perazich, Milan

A systematic census of Canada's public CO2 storage disclosures, focusing on Alberta's regulatory documents. It classifies the legal bases for publication and identifies vulnerabilities where disclosure could be withdrawn, plus non-public in…

Cunha, Sónia, Kleijn, Rene, van den Brink, Susan

This paper examines the role of Digital Product Passports (DPP) in the European energy transition, exploring their potential to enhance supply chain transparency and sustainability. It focuses on policy and institutional frameworks to ensur…

This study examines how Unilever's climate strategies and sustainable practices affect growth, efficiency, supply chain capabilities, and competitive advantage using thematic analysis of secondary data. It finds that climate policies, renew…

Kelly, Mike

This paper defines 'Sustainability Opportunity Discovery' as a missing discipline in sustainability reporting, contrasting with the mature risk side. It proposes a definition, distinguishes discovery from assessment, outlines method require…

Zheng Hanyue, Lv Gongxuan

This study demonstrates that Sc-doped SrTiO3 photocatalyst achieves an apparent quantum efficiency of 95.11% at 365 nm and a hydrogen evolution rate of 6.32 mmol/h/g under full-spectrum irradiation. Sc doping compensates Ti3+ defects and pr…

This paper examines the financial viability of community-led district heating decarbonisation, applying a three-model typology to two Slovenian biomass projects. Subsidy rate is the dominant determinant: at ~45% grant, all variants achieve …

Reza Eshtehadi, Ying Xie, Dong-Ping Song

This study analyzes public documents from 16 major UK ports (17 cases) to assess decarbonisation implementation maturity across six dimensions and 24 indicators. Solar generation, equipment electrification, and rail connectivity are widely …

Yuan Qiu, Yuhao Ba

This paper examines the design of mixed-ownership reform (privatization of state-owned enterprises) under decarbonization constraints. It analyzes the feasibility of balancing marketization with emission reduction and offers policy design i…

Arjun Bopaiah, Rory F.D. Monaghan

This paper discusses the importance of balancing various factors for cost-effective decarbonisation of truck fleets. It likely examines trade-offs among technology choices, infrastructure investment, and policy support to identify optimal t…

Mengyao Yang, Julia Eaint Chan Myae Dai, Sze Xing Tan +2

This review systematically organizes studies assessing the environmental and techno-economic performance of technologies converting plastics into synthetic fuels and chemicals, examining their potential contribution to decarbonization. It c…

Wahidul Sheikh, Gholam Reza Emad, T.M. Rabiul Islam +1

This paper proposes a conceptual framework for aligning human capital with maritime decarbonisation, digitalisation, and automation strategies. It argues that aligning workforce skills with strategic goals is essential for a sustainable tra…
