This paper analyzes the growing global demand for critical energy transition minerals (CETM) such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earths, exploring the opportunities and challenges for developing countries in mining, processing, and trade. It …

Takudzwa Musekiwa, Noëleen Murray

This systematic review examines South Africa's energy transition's impact on poverty and employment. It finds that while new jobs are created, they are often short-term, low-quality, or geographically mismatched with coal-dependent regions.…

Vertical farming faces high energy costs, but could reduce them by participating in energy markets. This paper explores opportunities for vertical farms to provide flexibility services (day-ahead, balancing, flexibility markets) by adjustin…

Olga Petrychenko, Tymur Stoliaryk, Sergey Goolak +4

This paper systematically presents staged recommendations for integrating power limitation systems (EPL and SHaPoLi) with alternative fuels to decarbonize maritime vessels. It finds that power limitation via controllable pitch propellers wi…

Sachin Peddada

This paper examines the global clean energy transition through world systems theory and historical materialism, contrasting US market-led shale extraction with China's state-coordinated renewable dominance. It argues that the renewable tran…

Shijun Ma, Jing Meng, Tianyang Lei +7

This paper develops a plant-level decarbonization pathway model for global oil refineries, coupling refinery-specific characteristics with low-carbon technology costs. It finds that carbon capture and storage and clean hydrogen can substant…

This review critically examines the use of biochar—a tunable, carbon-rich material from biomass—for electrochemical energy storage in batteries. It highlights how microstructural control, surface functionality, and graphitization influence …

Nagwa Amin Abdelkawy, Angham Ben Brayek

This study uses multivariate wavelet coherence to examine how institutional quality aligns with carbon efficiency over time. Comparing GCC and non-GCC emerging economies, it finds that governance is strongly associated with carbon efficienc…

Nico Edwards

This paper frames military decarbonization as a warfighting opportunity, exploring how green transitions can enhance military advantage while meeting climate goals. It offers a novel perspective on energy transition applications beyond trad…

Yuanxiang Zhou, Huayan Liu, Xinyu Liu +2

This paper examines the impact of digital economy development on household energy burden inequality in China's low-carbon transition. Using CFPS panel data from 2012-2022, it finds that digital growth exacerbates inequality, particularly in…

Mohamed Chabchoub, Aida Smaoui, Amina Hamdouni

This study examines the impact of green innovation on carbon intensity and financial performance in critical mineral mining firms using panel data from 35 companies across five countries (2015-2024). Results show that green innovation reduc…

Nicholas Fry, Omid Khajehdehi, Sara Hastings‐Simon +2

This study models the transition to geothermal energy networks (GENs) for decarbonizing heating and cooling in existing buildings in New York. Using a system dynamics approach integrating opinion dynamics, technology deployment constraints,…

Mingfang Dong, Jiali Yu

This study examines the impact of China's National Green Industrial Parks (GIPs) on new energy technology innovation using a multi-period DID approach on panel data from 289 Chinese cities (2008-2023). Results show GIPs increase local new e…

Setyo Budi Kurniawan, Mahasin Maulana Ahmad, Dwi Sasmita Aji Pambudi +2

This review analyzes the transition from green port initiatives toward integrated blue-economy-oriented port systems. It finds that leading ports are evolving into energy hubs with shore power, renewable microgrids, and hydrogen infrastruct…

Heyan Tang, Hui Mao, Yuanyuan Cai

This paper uses micro-level data from rural Shaanxi to examine how aging affects energy transition. It finds that aging may slow the adoption of clean energy, offering policy implications for China's decarbonization.

Lijun Yang, Baiting Pan, D. Zheng +1

This paper proposes a Stackelberg game-based market trading framework for integrated energy markets involving an integrated energy producer, operator, and load aggregator. It quantifies user comfort and energy substitution behavior to balan…

Ji-Whan Kim, Yoon-Kyung Kim

This study estimates primary energy demand in Korea using LA-AIDS models with quarterly data from 2000-2021. It finds structural changes around the global financial crisis, making crude oil more price-sensitive while coal and natural gas be…

Iván Ojeda-Pereira, Sebastián Herrera‐León, Fernando Campos‐Medina +1

Using Chile's lithium extraction as a case, this paper critiques 'fragmented sustainability' where environmental, economic, social, and cultural dimensions are assessed in isolation. Drawing on STS, it frames measurement as political acts a…
