This study quantifies the capacity limits of coal gangue utilization in China using GCAM, finding that building material use is capped at 100 Mt/yr. Diversifying into power generation, alumina extraction, and backfill recovers significant t…

Dimitriadis D, Papana A, Katrakilidis C

This study examines carbon intensity convergence across European NUTS-2 regions using panel data from 2000-2024 and spatial econometric models. It finds significant conditional beta-convergence, persistent spatial dependence, and slower adj…

Ho-Tran L, Pfenninger-Lee S

This study provides a global classification of renewable energy zones, analogous to Koppen-Geiger climate zones, to identify deployment constraints and opportunities for wind-solar-only systems. It finds that land with abundant and temporal…

Halai, Oleksandr, Neilenko, Sergii, Zemlina, Yuliia +2

This study examines how digital technologies (AI, IoT, big data, blockchain) drive sustainable innovation in organizations through a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature from 2010 to 2025 and thematic analysis. It identifies four p…
