This work addresses the reliability bottleneck of encapsulation materials for SiC power devices in renewable energy, EV, and storage applications. By synergistically regulating chemical and physical networks in low-phenyl-content silicone g…

Prakarsa TD, Tobing S, Febijanto I +6

This study evaluates the life-cycle GHG emissions of retrofitting Indonesia's Paiton coal-fired power plant unit with a biomass-based CFB boiler. Scenarios using Calliandra wood pellets/chips, palm kernel shells, and empty fruit bunch pelle…

Khan, Younas, Lou, G

This replication package supports a study on Pakistan's electricity transition from coal to solar, analyzing structural breaks and the environmental Kuznets curve under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) from 1990 to 2040. The pape…

Artaxo, Paulo, Alencar, Ane, Azevedo, Tasso +46

NetZero Brazil is a network developing an integrated modeling infrastructure for Brazil's net-zero transition. It connects energy, AFOLU, waste, and socio-economic models to represent cross-sectoral transformations. A digital platform allow…

Wang He, Xu Shubin, Luan Chunhui +3

This study systematically evaluates the effect of H2O/Al(i-OPr)3 molar ratio on CuZnAl catalyst structure and performance for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. The optimal CZA-103 catalyst achieves ~12% CO2 conversion and ~40% methanol selecti…

Efstathios E. Michaelides

This paper appears to analyze the relationship between sustainability goals and the economic costs of decarbonization. While specific methodology and findings are unclear, it likely offers insights for firms and policymakers weighing the co…

This study develops a single-level optimization model for grid-connected PV systems that integrates hourly electricity market prices and dynamic emission factors (DEF). It maximizes revenue from electricity sales and carbon credits under a …

Filippo Busato, Marco Noro

This paper examines how the evolution and country-specific differences of electricity emission factors can lead to over- or underestimation of CO2 savings from electrification-based decarbonization measures. Using a high-temperature heat pu…

This review comprehensively covers bioplastics feedstocks, processing, properties, life cycle assessment, market applications, and AI/ML roles. It highlights that climate benefits are conditional and burden-shifting risks require integrated…

Seona Park

This study analyzes South Korea's coal phase-out and just transition through interactions among electricity policy, labor market, and affected region sub-regimes. Based on 18 interviews, it shows how these sub-regimes mutually reinforce reg…

Guanming Liu, Gang Deng, Xueying Sun +4

This paper examines the time-varying impact of climate policy uncertainty (CPU) on oilseed futures returns using a TVP-VAR model, based on dual supply-demand and cost channels. CPU generally has a positive effect, but negative impacts appea…

Tommaso Robbiano, Matteo Fresia, Stefano Bracco +4

This paper proposes a MILP-based EMS for Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) that leverages V2X-enabled EVs to provide upward and downward power reserves in local flexibility markets. A case study in Northern Italy shows that EV flexibility…

Ganraj M. Ghule, Vaishali M. Bogar

This study investigates the effect of curing conditions on the mechanical properties and carbon footprint of M60-grade high-performance geopolymer concrete made with 100% fly ash. Using XRD for mineralogical analysis, it highlights the impo…
