This study quantifies the global carbon investment in biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). They find that in non-agricultural biomes, BNF investment relative to net primary productivity is higher in less-productive, higher-latitude regions, …

Mona Mashhadi Rajabi, Martina Linnenluecke, Jianlei Han +1

This paper examines the size of the carbon bubble, the potential overvaluation of fossil fuel assets under climate mitigation scenarios. It highlights stranded asset risks and discusses implications for investors and policymakers, emphasizi…

Rui Jiang, Chun Liang, Zichun Guo +4

This study investigates how parent material influences the formation pathways of mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC), proposing a 'mineral sieve mechanism' that selectively retains certain organic compounds on mineral surfaces. The fin…

This study compares community gardens in Budapest and Turin as locally embedded nature-based solutions (NbS). Based on 47 semi-structured interviews across five gardens in Budapest and two in Turin, it interprets gardeners' practices along …

Luca Battisti, Adrienne Csizmady, Federico Cuomo +2

This comparative study of community gardens in Budapest and Turin examines how everyday gardening practices function as locally embedded nature-based solutions (NbS). Analyzing 47 interviews through social, technical, and ecological dimensi…

This critical review examines technological transitions in steam methane reforming (SMR) for sustainable hydrogen production, focusing on catalyst deactivation, process intensification, and integration of carbon capture. It evaluates thermo…

Dominic Ross, USDOE National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Yulan Han +9

This study reveals that solution and active site speciation control selectivity in electrocatalytic reactive carbon capture using diethanolamine over Ni-N-C catalysts. It provides fundamental insights for low-energy CO2 separation and advan…

Guangqian Ren, Man Jing, Peitong Liu +1

Using Chinese A-share listed firms from 2011-2024, this study shows that customer AI technology significantly boosts suppliers' green and low-carbon efforts (GLE) via green demand forcing and green knowledge spillover. Effects are amplified…

This study examines how pre-existing data-intensive conditions influence the PM2.5 reduction outcomes of China's low-carbon city pilot policy. It highlights the role of baseline data conditions in driving heterogeneous policy effects, offer…

Lei Wang, Xiaohan Zhao

This study evaluates China's Low-Carbon City Pilot Policy (LCCPP) using a multi-period difference-in-differences model covering 276 Chinese cities from 2007 to 2023. The results show that LCCPP significantly improves urban carbon productivi…

Sofik Handoyo

This dataset supplements a systematic review of global policies and measures for green economy and governance toward low-carbon development. It provides policy examples and indicators useful for comparative analysis of low-carbon transition…

Capt Yashodhan Mahajan

This paper provides a conceptual overview of green finance and sustainable investment as pathways to a low-carbon economy, discussing financial frameworks and investment strategies. It is primarily a synthesis without empirical analysis, fo…

Deliang Zhou, Jiajia Jin

Using data on Chinese A-share listed firms from 2013 to 2022, this paper shows that the digital economy significantly drives firms' low-carbon transition. Industrial structure upgrading serves as a mediating channel, and market competition …

Kongqing Li, Yaxuan Cai

This study quantifies land use carbon emissions in Zhejiang Province (2005-2020) and constructs a coupled economy-population-land-energy-carbon system. Results show construction land is the main carbon source, and optimizing land use struct…

This study examines acid-engineered carbon electrodes for microbial electrochemical energy systems, using comprehensive abiotic analysis to map how surface modification affects performance, revealing synergies and trade-offs that guide elec…

Quxi Kuang, Xianglin Kuang

This study evaluates China's green finance policies—renewable energy certificate trading (RECT), fossil energy use rights trading (FET), and renewable energy subsidies (RES)—using a dynamic CGE model. FET and RECT reduce fossil fuel depende…
