This presentation discusses the development of disordered rock salt (DRX) oxyfluoride cathodes for lithium-ion batteries, which avoid critical elements like cobalt and nickel. It covers recent progress in highly fluorinated DRX compounds fo…

Nelson, Priscilla P.

This essay argues that since 2020, mining faces not a single new force but an unprecedented coupling of familiar pressures—decarbonization demand, geopolitics, labor, capital—creating structural change. It contends that treating these as se…

This study identifies barriers to port decarbonization in the Portuguese port system and analyzes their interactions using ISM-MICMAC. External environment barriers are root drivers, intermediate barriers act as transmission mechanisms, and…

Martinez-Gordon R.

This paper analyzes decarbonization pathways for the North Sea energy system to achieve net-zero by 2050. It integrates renewable energy, CCUS, hydrogen, and other options, assessing costs and feasibility. Provides insights for policymakers…

Trencher G.

This paper compares the net-zero transition pathways of major oil companies BP, Shell, Chevron, and ExxonMobil, assessing the ambition and feasibility of their strategies. It evaluates alignment with Paris Agreement goals and provides insig…

This study develops C-MoS2 nanocomposites from sugarcane bagasse-derived activated carbon and MoS2 via a one-step hydrothermal process. The solid-state supercapacitor achieves a high specific capacitance of 465.87 F/g, energy density of 32.…

Vincent F. Yu, Abhijit Bera, Rupantar Das +1

This study proposes a multi-objective fixed-charge transportation model under type-2 neutrosophic uncertainty, optimizing cost, time, and deterioration while integrating carbon cap and offset policies. Numerical experiments show fuzzy appro…

This paper proposes a comprehensive framework to classify challenges in bottom-up energy system models into three pillars: accuracy, robustness, and comprehensibility. Based on literature synthesis, it analyzes dimensions such as temporal, …

Lu, Hongyou

CAST is a bottom-up techno-economic model for estimating itemized production costs of iron and steelmaking technologies. It covers main processes from ironmaking to steelmaking, allowing users to quantify costs with blends of hot metal, DRI…

Nelson, Priscilla P.

This essay argues that measuring mining decarbonization via emissions intensity can mask a linear system. It distinguishes circularity into four loops, each capable of stagnating independently of carbon reductions. It cautions that circular…

Anderson J.J.

This paper analyzes the role of fossil fuels in achieving power sector net-zero targets and the impact of carbon sequestration tax credits. It suggests that tax credits can incentivize CCS deployment and reduce abatement costs, offering ins…

LEI GAO

Focusing on cruise ships' high port-call energy demand, this thesis proposes a 'Dual-Track' energy hub model to bridge shore power and fuel gaps. Case studies in Genoa and Shanghai integrate renewables (VAWT, wave energy, floating solar) in…

Mikael Johnson

Energy transitions depend on coordination across interdependent actors, infrastructures, and practices, yet governance remains oriented toward linear responsibility and asset-based performance, leading to persistent coordination failures. T…

Giovanni Carrosio

This paper proposes the concept of 'ecological citizenship zones' that integrate people-based (individual behavior change) and place-based (local infrastructure) approaches to energy and mobility transitions. It emphasizes the importance of…
