This systematic review examines CFD-based approaches for low-carbon shipping, evaluating their potential to reduce emissions through ship design optimization and fuel efficiency improvements.

Jianyun Zeng, Jiumei Zhai

This paper examines the role of a policy mix combining innovation and openness in driving urban low-carbon transition in China. It likely provides empirical evidence on how such policies accelerate decarbonization at the city level.

Jianguo Li, Jinpeng Liang, Min Tang +6

Investigates the trade-off between soil organic carbon accrual and stability under 30 years of high-level phosphorus fertilization in paddy fields. Finds decreased carbon accrual but increased stability.

Ruiqing Duan, Qilin Han, Yan Jiang +6

This paper proposes a trading strategy for electrolytic copper industrial parks participating in electricity-carbon markets, leveraging multi-flow coupling of material, energy, and carbon emissions. By modeling thermal inertia of electrolyt…

This paper examines the carbon geography of battery-related trade driven by EV adoption, highlighting the need for policy coherence across national borders. It analyzes how fragmented policies affect the spatial distribution of emissions in…

Vanja Djinlev, BinBin J. Pearce, Michael Stauffacher

This study investigates stakeholder visions for Switzerland's electricity transition, focusing on the evolving role of distribution system operators (DSOs). Through interviews, it finds broad consensus on a decentralized renewable grid but …

L Chen, Xiangzhou Yuan, Lei Feng +5

This perspective reviews AI/ML applications in biochar engineering, noting that experimental validation and data-driven design are underexplored (<5% of studies). It proposes five actionable directions: automated data extraction with LLMs, …

Dedong Zhan

BU233 defines energy system transition as a high-sunk-cost, high-residual regime switch rather than simple technology replacement. It proposes a 'standing' framework that evaluates long-term sustainability, security, affordability, and resi…

Ayşe Eryer, Ahmet Yılmaz Ata, Mehmet Ali Polat

This study uses panel cointegration and coefficient estimation on EU countries from 1990-2021 to examine the impact of fossil fuel and renewable energy consumption on CO2 emissions. It finds that a 1% increase in renewable energy reduces em…

Alkan Üstün, Bahattin CİZRELİ, Mesut Arslan

This study qualitatively analyzes NDCs from four Horn of Africa countries, finding climate policy framed primarily as adaptation tied to development priorities, with mitigation conditional on external finance and technology. It highlights s…

This review evaluates integrating multiomics (genomic, transcriptomic, rhizomicrobiome engineering) with regenerative practices (bioameliorants, CRISPR/Cas9) for climate-adaptive soybean farming on acidic/saline soils. It reports yield incr…

Mikael Johnson

This article argues that persistent coordination failures in energy transitions stem from a mismatch between supply-chain governance assumptions and the service-network logic of modern energy systems. Networked governance arrangements only …

Kutay Özdemir

This bibliometric study analyzes the intellectual structure of sustainable energy research in management literature, covering 101 publications from 2007-2026. It finds momentum after 2016, key journals like Technology Analysis & Strategic M…

Gautam Gowrisankaran, Ashley Langer, Mar Reguant

This paper models rate-of-return regulation during the US coal-to-gas transition, finding that regulated utilities reduce coal generation 48% less than cost-minimizers under carbon taxes and retire 71% less coal capacity after 30 years, hig…

Theo Minné

This paper identifies the lack of youth perspectives in energy access policies in Sub-Saharan Africa and explores practical plans to integrate youth as key contributors and stakeholders. It advocates for age diversity to create more inclusi…

Dedong Zhan

This paper redefines energy transition as a standing-generating intelligence process under the B_U framework, moving beyond policy slogans or technology substitution. It proposes that the energy system must shift its invariant kernel to acc…

Simon Okola Olendo

This technical note examines how Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models can convert climate ambition into bankable investment pipelines in developing economies. Using examples from South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, India, Kenya, Colombia, and …
