This study evaluates compound renewable energy droughts (simultaneous low wind and solar output) under 1.5°C, 2.0°C, and 3.0°C global warming levels using CMIP6 models. Drought intensity, duration, and frequency increase with warming, with …

GALVEZ PRP

This study proposes a Life Cycle Assessment framework to transform TBM tunnel spoils from waste into carbon-negative assets through circular valorization. Results show 25-40% carbon reduction versus landfilling, and a net-negative balance o…

This study maps global utility-scale PV plants at 10-m resolution using Sentinel-2 imagery and deep learning, then quantifies the spatial mismatch with electricity demand. It finds ~82% of global demand in provinces below IEA thresholds, hi…

Zhaoxia Wu, Xinyu Zeng

This paper uses a quasi-natural experiment of China's green loan interest subsidy policy (GLIS) to examine its impact on corporate ESG greenwashing. Using a multi-period difference-in-differences model on Chinese listed firms from 2009-2022…

Aanu Loveday Solomon

This paper presents a comparative macroeconomic analysis of decarbonizing industrial heat versus electrical grids. Grid decarbonization requires massive upfront capital but yields predictable long-term returns due to falling LCOE. Industria…

This paper critically reviews safety assessment and control strategies for ammonia storage and handling in maritime decarbonisation via a PRISMA-informed synthesis. It identifies limitations in conventional methods (HAZID, QRA) for ammonia-…

Ahmed G. Abo-Khalil

This paper proposes a unified framework integrating AI-driven renewable forecasting, grid economics, and lifecycle assessment. Using deep learning, it reduces prediction errors by 50% and operational costs by 18.7%. The study includes AI en…

Yunwei Guo, Yuechen Chen, Jun Ren +2

This paper systematically analyzes the development status, practical cases, policy framework, and technical bottlenecks of industrial and commercial energy storage systems, focusing on optimal configuration strategies, economic evaluation m…

Cristián Flores Fernández, B. Walker

This article analyzes the green hydrogen hype in Chile's Magallanes region, using the concepts of growth machine and fictitious capital. It finds that actor coalitions drive the hype to secure investment and delay feasible alternatives, hig…

Hordvei E.

This paper estimates the upper bound costs of realizing Europe's green hydrogen ambitions, highlighting economic challenges in transitioning from policy to practice and providing realistic cost assessments.

H. Niazi, Kamran Taghizad-Tavana, A. Esmaeel Nezhad +3

This review provides a structured discussion on green hydrogen supply chain, integrated multi-energy systems, policy comparison across EU, US, China, Japan, and India, market structure, large-scale projects, and the role of AI. AI applicati…

R. Ashok, T. G. Sakthivel

This review evaluates waste-derived electrocatalysts for green hydrogen production via water electrolysis, emphasizing standardized benchmarking and techno-economic analysis. While laboratory results show promising performance (HER overpote…

Shanxin Mao, Yeting Li

This study examines downstream customer climate pressure on suppliers' green supply-chain management and value-chain carbon disclosure among Chinese listed firms. It constructs an exposure-weighted customer pressure measure and decomposes i…

Yuanqi Zhou, Mengjie Deng, Jie Yang +2

This paper explores the matching of technology and carbon price under macroeconomic uncertainty, analyzing how inclusive technology suites can reconfigure global mitigation cooperation.

Zheng Yao

This archive provides Python scripts and datasets to replicate analysis of carbon footprints from China's data centers, including historical accounting, scenario-based forecasting, and embodied supply chain emissions. Detailed annotations e…

Matteo Coronese

This paper presents a methodology for attributing carbon emissions to capital owners, i.e., investors. It directly relates to the calculation of Scope 3 category 15 (financed emissions) for financial institutions, offering practical implica…

Wei Zhang, Oksana Takhumova, Olga Dudina +2

This study performs a life-cycle assessment of low-carbon hydrogen pathways for industrial clusters (steel, cement, chemicals) in Hebei, China. It compares grid electrolysis, natural gas reforming with CCS, coal gasification with CCS, and b…
