This paper employs a machine-learning-augmented quantile regression to analyze the relationship between green innovation and renewable energy transition in OECD countries. By moving beyond linear panel models, it captures heterogeneous effe…

Tithy Dev, Gabriela-Lucia Sabau, Morteza Haghiri +2

This systematic review develops a core indicators framework for assessing energy sustainability in agri-food systems (AFS). It critically evaluates and updates existing indicators across environmental, economic, social, and technical dimens…

Yi Luo, Martijn Sander

This study analyzes the impact of energy transition, green innovation, financial inclusion, and circular economy on green growth in G7 countries using CS-ARDL. Long-run coefficients show positive effects of energy transition (0.45) and fina…

This dissertation models six CDR approaches with GCAM-USA for the U.S., finding regional concentration (Texas, Midwest) and DACCS dominance (~50%) in net-zero pathways. Coupling with FaIR and COBRA reveals tradeoffs: High-CDR costs less ($1…

Sid Ahmed Zenagui

This paper theoretically and empirically analyzes how climate policy uncertainty affects green transition and macroeconomic productivity using differential geometry and catastrophe theory. Using panel data from 100 countries (1995-2025) and…

Shen, Jianxiang

This paper analyzes how land constraints shape renewable energy pathways and siting under China's carbon neutrality goal. It finds that land availability significantly limits the potential for renewable energy deployment, offering insights …

Akbar, Demiral

This paper evaluates the use of pyrolysis-derived syngas and biochar for decarbonizing the iron and steel industry, combining techno-economic and life cycle assessments. It examines the potential for carbon emission reduction and economic f…

Rita Kleizienė, Aleksandras Chlebnikovas

This study proposes a framework to quantify combustion-related CO2 emissions from hot mix asphalt production by cross-comparing energy-balance modeling, fuel consumption records, and direct exhaust-gas measurements. Applied to two batch pla…
