GX & Decarbonization Research

Abdulkadri Toyin Alabi, Mubarak Muhammed Abdulrazaq, Lukman Adebayo Oke

Using MMQR and robustness checks (FGLS, 2SLS), this study examines how technological adoption, economic globalization, and electrification shape GHG emissions in MINT economies (2008–2021). Electrification consistently raises emissions due …

César Ramírez Márquez, Heriberto Alcocer-García, José María Ponce‐Ortega

This paper examines small modular reactors (SMRs) as enablers of carbon circularity in next-generation biorefineries, going beyond their role as mere energy suppliers. It explores how SMR-provided heat and power can decarbonize biomass-base…

This article analyzes how India conceptualizes and operationalizes just transitions through thematic analysis of policy documents and literature. It argues India's approach diverges from prevailing frameworks, embedding decarbonization with…

Lucas Barning

Using Assemblage Theory, this paper compares three National Smart Grid Mission projects in Panipat, Guwahati, and Mysuru to examine how smart grids were embedded in urban contexts. Projects were installed in distribution infrastructure but …

Philippe Le Billon

This chapter argues the international climate regime has long granted near-impunity to the fossil fuel industry, and that leaving fossil fuels underground (LFFU) is essential alongside renewables. It examines transition-away-from-fossil-fue…

Наталія Волченко

This paper examines how the resource capacity and functional allocation of social security systems relate to poverty, material deprivation, and energy poverty across the EU-27. Using 2023 expenditure and benefit-structure indicators against…

Huanquan Sun, Yong Yang, Yonghong Yang +5

This paper reviews the theory, technologies, and practice of oilfield-geothermal co-development (OGC), a pathway to revitalize mature oilfields and supply low-carbon energy under China's dual-carbon goals. It presents development modes (was…

Noh S.G.

This work addresses joint optimal scheduling of energy and both fast and primary frequency response reserves within an integrated transmission–distribution network model. As variable renewables grow, it examines coordination mechanisms that…

Yoo S.

A systematic review of whether renewable energy can meet the surging power demand from AI data centers. It synthesizes existing research on supply adequacy, grid constraints, and the need for additional clean generation, framing the AI-ener…

Guo Y.

A review of low-carbon technologies and deployment projects for the global cement industry, one of the most CO2-intensive sectors. It surveys options such as CCUS, alternative fuels, clinker substitution and energy efficiency, and how they …

Ajayi V.

An empirical study examining changes in European industrial energy intensity through three drivers: innovation, environmental regulation, and energy prices. Though no abstract is available, it addresses a core GX question—how regulation and…

Sovacool B.K.

A critical survey of how lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from nuclear power are estimated. It examines methodological assumptions and uncertainties underlying nuclear's classification as a low-carbon source, informing power-mix and decar…

Islam Rony Z.

This paper examines alternative fuels (ammonia, hydrogen, methanol, LNG) for cutting greenhouse gas emissions from marine transport, linking them to UN Sustainable Development Goals. Shipping is a hard-to-abate sector central to global trad…

Wang Y.

This study evaluates the greenhouse-gas reduction performance of waste-to-energy (WtE) approaches in China. It likely weighs waste-treatment emissions against avoided fossil-fuel emissions to assess net decarbonization benefits. Findings in…

Albanese M.

A panel study examining how GHG emissions, renewable energy deployment, and urbanization relate to economic growth across BRICS+ and advanced economies. It sits within the macro-econometric literature on whether decarbonization and growth c…

Georgiev P.

A study analyzing greenhouse gas emissions from ships calling at European ports. Without an abstract, methods and findings remain unclear, but the work targets shipping-sector emission accounting. It is relevant to EU maritime decarbonizati…

Tong W.

A scenario-based techno-economic analysis of how containership fleets can comply with the IMO Net-Zero Framework along the Shanghai–Rotterdam corridor. It compares alternative fuels, efficiency measures and operational options on cost and r…

Khandaker M.U.

This review examines the nuclear-climate nexus for net-zero pathways, mapping opportunities, challenges, and policy directions. It surveys nuclear's role as a decarbonization power source alongside barriers such as regulation, social accept…

Chusi T.N.

This study applies a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach to systematically evaluate the barriers developing countries face in transitioning to net-zero emissions. By ranking economic, institutional, technological, and social fact…

Wojtaszek H.

This piece frames the 2024–2025 energy transition around three shifts: emerging demand vectors, technology oversupply, and a shrinking market premium for 2050 net-zero commitments. It suggests decarbonization tech costs are falling amid ove…
