Using a Prais–Winsten regression with Beck–Katz panel-corrected standard errors, this paper estimates how renewable penetration and energy-intensity shifts shaped per-capita CO2 emissions across 18 APEC economies from 2001 to 2023, controll…

Yutong Fu, Jianbing Wang, Mingzhu Guo +5

This study assesses the energy and carbon footprints of China's ethylene production and explores decarbonization transition pathways. Without an abstract, details are limited, but it likely offers insights into industrial decarbonization st…

Yuchi Zhou, Fang Wang, Wei Zhang +4

This study proposes pre-oxidation combined with oleic-acid-derived soft-carbon coating to regulate pore structure and interfacial chemistry in anthracite-derived hard carbon anodes. The soft-carbon shell converts open pores into closed/semi…

This paper proposes RFEP-SI-Fed, a method combining a fuzzy risk-entropy prediction safety island with federated reinforcement learning for low-carbon dispatch of nitrogen-hydrogen-ammonia coupled multi-park integrated energy systems. It en…

Yuan Gan, Zhen Cao, Rui Feng +1

This paper proposes a method for identifying load increase response windows and low-carbon regulation in salt lake chemical parks under process feasibility constraints. Using material transfer relationships in potassium, lithium, and magnes…

Sheng Zhu, Yani Zhang, Shuhao Zhang +4

This work upcycles low-rank coal into functional porous carbon via an ultrafast, sustainable route to boost pseudocapacitive performance. It reframes coal as a feedstock for energy-storage materials rather than combustion, supporting value-…

Arif Gasilov

This study examines how coal plant retirements reshape cooling-water consumption in the US power sector. It links decarbonization-driven generation shifts to changes in water resource use, quantifying an environmental co-benefit of the ener…

Xiaohu Jian, Huimin Zhong, Xiaodong Zhang +8

Wind and solar expansion in China yields competing climate effects: cooling from avoided CO2 and warming from aerosol demasking. The net radiative forcing from displacing coal power reversed from warming in 2010 to cooling in 2022. Without …

Juan Esteban Palacios Duarte, Ricardo Moreno Chuquen, José Ángel Barrios +2

This review critically examines the technological and methodological barriers limiting Digital Real-Time Simulation (DRTS) from a validation tool to an operational cyber-physical infrastructure for DER-heavy grids. It focuses on computation…

Carol Hager

Germany's Energiewende began as a bottom-up, community-led transition supported by feed-in tariffs, delivering climate resilience and local economic vitality. Technological challenges and incumbent utility pressure pushed the government bac…

Qamar Zaman

This paper proposes a blockchain-based peer-to-peer (P2P) solar energy trading framework for local energy markets. It enables prosumers to buy and sell excess solar power directly without intermediaries, ensuring transparency, security, and…

Tole Sutikno

This editorial argues that future power grids depend on converging autonomy and resilience to anticipate disturbances, coordinate distributed resources, and recover rapidly. It reviews AI, self-healing grids, grid-forming power electronics,…
