This thesis evaluates methane pyrolysis for low-carbon hydrogen production, integrating techno-economic analysis, life-cycle assessment, uncertainty analysis, and export competitiveness. Comparing fluidized-bed, molten-metal, and molten-sal…

Hemant Agrawal, Sunil kumar

This paper proposes an integrated design framework for concrete combining low-carbon binder (LC3), self-healing agents, and carbon-based sensing. Scenario analysis shows a 38-47% reduction in cradle-to-gate global warming potential compared…

Yuxuan Wu, Qianqian Wang, Qihan Zhang +6

This study develops a data-driven framework for sustainable design of rare-earth permanent magnets, using 346 experimental samples and MLP models to predict magnetic properties with high accuracy. SHAP analysis identifies Nd as key, and mul…

This study analyzes how the sequencing of mitigation strategies affects cost-effectiveness in achieving China's carbon neutrality. By optimizing the order of technology and policy deployment, total costs can be reduced. It provides importan…

Yu Tian, Bangjun Wang

This study analyzes the integration of Green Electricity Certificates (GEC) and Carbon Emissions Trading (CET) in China using AI methods (BERTopic, cosine similarity, Bayesian ERGMs) on 1,137 policy documents. It finds rapid central discour…

Shruti Gupta, Ajay Kumar, Mohit Yadav +1

This paper presents ICEC, a prototype system for monitoring and reporting department-level Scope 3 emissions in higher education institutions. It converts user-uploaded consumption data (electricity, diesel, LPG, water, waste) to CO2e using…

Simona Fioretto, Elio Masciari, Enea Vincenzo Napolitano

This paper applies AI techniques to institutional reports from the public sector to extract and analyze ESG information. It demonstrates the potential and challenges of AI-driven ESG assessment, offering new perspectives on utilizing disclo…

Joel Bensing

This paper experimentally investigates caprock behavior for underground hydrogen storage (UHS), addressing key challenges for safe and efficient hydrogen containment. The findings support the feasibility of large-scale hydrogen storage, a c…

Zita Vale, Hannes Hanse, Yamshid Farhat +3

This paper provides an overview of the role of AI, sector coupling, and grid innovations in the European energy transition. It focuses on integrating renewables and improving system efficiency, offering implications for policy and industry.
