This paper evaluates global power sector decarbonization pathways—renewables, nuclear, storage, hydrogen, carbon pricing—and analyzes Turkiye's strategic policy response to the EU Green Deal and CBAM. Turkiye is shifting from trade complian…

Concettina Marino, Marinella Giunta

This paper develops and applies a procedure to compare the environmental burdens of conventional diesel traction with innovative propulsion and fuel solutions (electrification, hybrid, biofuels like HVO, hydrogen) for railway operations. Us…

John F. Ryder

This paper introduces 'electrification convergence' — the cumulative stacking of multiple electrification demands (EVs, heat pumps, AI datacenters, etc.) on shared grid infrastructure. It argues that EU policy underestimates coordination ti…

Tarun Sharma, Praveen P., Abhishek Das +1

This paper reviews the evolution of electricity system models in the context of the global transition to net-zero carbon emissions. It highlights challenges such as renewable integration, stranded assets, social acceptance, and geopolitics,…
