GX & Decarbonization Research

Lili Wang, Min Su

An empirical study of how global value chains for low-carbon technologies—solar PV, batteries, hydrogen and critical minerals—are being reconfigured. It links decarbonization industrial policy with the geopolitics of resource sourcing.

This study examines the legal tension between surging demand for critical energy transition minerals and international human rights obligations, arguing that traditional investor-centric mining concessions reproduce colonial extraction patt…

Rishab Rane, Roh Pin Lee

A comparative study of global automotive suppliers examining emissions hotspots, decarbonization targets, and implemented measures. It maps differences in upstream supply-chain emissions and corporate target-setting, offering insight into S…

This study models blockchain traceability investment and pricing decisions for low-carbon products in a dual-channel supply chain under government subsidies and manufacturer risk aversion. It finds that consumer trust and direct channel sha…

Qiyuan Fan, Jiajun Liu, Wenwen Yu

This paper examines how green supply chain pressure from key customers affects firm productivity using Chinese A-share listed firms from 2014-2024. It constructs a text-based index from MD&A disclosures and finds that pressure boosts produc…

This paper addresses information asymmetry in 3PL-led low-carbon supply chains using a Stackelberg dynamic game model. It shows centralized coordination improves both carbon reduction and profits under carbon cap policy and consumer low-car…

A. Butt

This qualitative study, based on 40 interviews across 11 manufacturing firms, examines how digital supply chain capabilities (IoT, blockchain) enable regionalization. It finds that digitally embedded information-processing and evidence-prod…

This study quantifies the potential to increase post-consumer recycled content (PCRC) in aluminum automotive body sheet (ABS) in the U.S., using composition-specific dynamic material flow analysis and linear optimization. By 2050, ELV scrap…

Philipp C. Verpoort, Gunnar Luderer, Frederike Bartels +6

This paper examines policy options for regulating emissions across the EU fossil fuel supply chain, analyzing their implications. It proposes frameworks for accounting, reporting, and reducing supply-chain emissions, assessing contributions…

Bart Lahcen

This model provides a linear programming approach to integrate carbon emissions, circularity, and geopolitical risk in material sourcing. It minimizes embodied carbon under constraints on single-country exposure, recycled content, and route…

Ashuraliyev, Abduxoliq

This dataset provides vessel-level dwell times, operational modes, and CARB-calibrated idling emissions for five major US ports from 2009-2025, derived from AIS data. It enables analysis of port congestion and its climate impact, validated …

Federico Cammelli, Johan Six, Rachael Garrett

This study quantifies collusion in sustainability verification reports for cocoa supply chains, finding 25% collusion, reduced to 11% by withholding compliance thresholds. It underscores that monitoring and traceability alone are insufficie…

Asger Smidt-Jensen, Mustafa Asfur, Tomer Cohen +2

This study evaluated a carbon-removal supply chain approach using Spirulina (GeoSpirulina) produced with geothermal energy and soil carbon sequestration, incorporated into dairy rations. A carbon-focused LCA and commercial feeding trial sho…

Frederik Dahlmann, Jens K. Roehrich

This paper qualitatively analyzes how firms engage supply chain partners in sharing and processing climate-related information, using CDP supply chain data. Grounded in organizational information-processing theory, it finds firms primarily …

Bruna Maria Xavier, Mariana Andrei, Patrik Thollander +1

This study examines challenges in integrating energy management into supplier assessments through interviews with large manufacturers and Swedish SME suppliers. It identifies information asymmetries and misaligned incentives as key barriers…

Moana Simas, Kristine Bly, Meron A. Arega +3

This study assesses material demand for next-generation LNMO battery cells using global value chain analysis, finding 20-25% lower GHG emissions than NMC-811. It quantifies impacts on value added and employment, highlighting mining as the m…

Simon Pearson, Steve Brewer, Louise Manning +9

This paper argues that digitalisation of the food system enables trusted emissions data exchange across supply chains, crucial for deep decarbonisation. It proposes a framework integrating standardised emissions measurements with a supply c…
