This study develops AI models (ANN and SVR) to predict CO2 trapping efficiency with high accuracy, validated on 260 data points from a gas flare site in the Niger Delta. The ANN model achieved R2=0.9993, and CO2 mass fraction was the most i…

Caixuan Zhan

This paper develops a two-echelon cross-border supply chain model integrating blockchain, vertical spillover of emission reduction, and consumer low-carbon preference under EU CBAM. Using Stackelberg games, it compares centralized vs. decen…

Guorui Wang, Liang Zhong, Yixuan Zeng

This review systematically synthesizes evolutionary game theory (EGT) fused with AI (deep reinforcement learning, federated learning, blockchain) across three scales: enterprise-level industrial symbiosis, system-level smart energy operatio…

Lu Wang, Chunyan Sun, Xiaoyu Wang

This review surveys AI-enabled low-carbon technologies in the oil and gas industry, covering core needs, applications across key processes, comparisons of AI methods, challenges, and future trends. It serves as a reference for researchers a…

Jiamin Zhang, Yang Qian, Christina W.Y. Wong +1

This study examines how configurations of institutional pressures affect firms' low-carbon behaviors (hard and soft) and the moderating role of AI capability. Using panel data from Chinese A-share listed firms (2007-2022) with cluster analy…

İlker Mert, Hüseyin Yağlı, J. Costa +1

This study combines NLP and stochastic techno-economic modeling to analyze Türkiye's national hydrogen strategy. Baseline LCOH is 4.89 €/kg with electricity price as dominant driver. Proactive policy intervention raises the probability of r…

Oskars Bagants, Raita Rollande, Juris Klonovs

The construction sector accounts for ~34% of global energy-related CO₂ emissions, yet carbon accounting is not integrated into cost estimation and procurement. This study proposes the AI-driven 'EEBOQ' framework, combining LLMs, ontology-ba…

Tuğba Yeğin

This study examines how GenAI-based carbon footprint feedback (AI-CFB) influences consumer purchase intentions for renewable energy-powered products (REPPs). Analyzing 841 Turkish participants with PLS-SEM, it finds AI-CFB as an antecedent …

Chen Song, Zhihao Gao

This paper empirically examines how CEO-chairperson dialect connections affect corporate carbon emissions. Findings show that such connections significantly increase emissions, especially in competitive industries, non-state-owned firms, an…

Wen Xiang, Jianzhong Gao

Using survey data from 10,057 kiwifruit growers in China, this study applies machine learning (random forest, SHAP) to analyze how farmers' digital capabilities affect initial and sustained adoption of low-carbon agricultural technologies. …
