GX & Decarbonization Research

Manktelow, James

With no provider disclosing per-query inference energy or carbon, this paper offers a bounded estimation framework that triangulates public data to derive per-token carbon intensity. Applied to OpenAI's GPT-5 family, it estimates ~1.07–14.8…

This repository accompanies a 2026 paper on coupling nuclear reactors with thermal energy storage to convert steady-state fusion heat into flexible low-carbon electricity. It extends the open-source capacity expansion model GenX with a ther…

Rodriguez Morales, Jorge Ernesto, Höök, Mikael

A replication package for a socio-technical analysis of Sweden's electricity transition, combining long-term pathway modelling with hourly operational stress testing. Three pathways share demand milestones but differ in technology and imple…

Weber, Andreas, Horst, Juri

This paper presents a partial-equilibrium model simulating international trade in red and green hydrogen and derived synthetic fuels. Unlike general equilibrium models, it assumes profit-maximizing competition among globally active firms, e…

Cui, Qiang

This paper argues that the climate benefit of aviation's energy transition is systematically overstated because conventional carbon accounting fails to capture altitude-dependent, non-CO2 effects. It exposes a structural blind spot in curre…

Weber, Andreas, Horst, Juri

This document presents the basic input data for IZES's hydrogen trade model. It covers renewable and nuclear capacity/output scenarios for 101 countries, country-specific electrolyser-optimised renewable regions, demand trends, trade routes…

Hernandez Carballo, Ireri, PERCOCO, MARCO, Mallarino, Gian Maria

Using synthetic difference-in-differences on ~1,000 EU NUTS-3 regions (2008-2020), this study examines the EU ETS Phase 3 reform's regional economic effects. Regions with larger increases in purchased allowances saw employment, GVA, and pro…

Cremona, Riccardo, Quevedo Parra, Sebastian, Gatti, Manuele +1

This paper proposes a hybrid cement decarbonization process combining partial oxy-fuel calcination with MEA-based post-combustion CO2 capture. A 50% oxygen enrichment with 3+3-stage preheater balances retrofit complexity and thermal efficie…

This study integrates institutional and real options theory to analyze maritime decarbonisation, evaluating LNG, biofuels, hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol across emissions, maturity, infrastructure, and economics. Under IMO and EU ETS/FuelE…

Thomas Bonneville

This presentation argues that lightweight tensile membrane architecture offers a scalable pathway to low-carbon buildings. A comparative LCA shows membrane solutions can cut embodied carbon by up to four times versus conventional assemblies…

Maritime decarbonisation is typically judged on carbon metrics alone, but this paper shows that shifting from heavy fuel oil to alternative fuels systematically transfers environmental and operational risks across hazard categories, life-cy…

Junhong Wu, Peng Gao, Yanyu Huang +3

This study simulates an MDEA-based SRU tail gas treatment process at a Chinese sulfur plant using Aspen Plus and calculates its cradle-to-gate carbon footprint via LCA. The footprint is 0.495 kgCO2e per Nm3, dominated by gas treatment and s…

F. P. Zotov, G. P. Butko

This study explores how Russian firms can engage management in decarbonization to strengthen strategic management. Using ESG principles and IPCC/corporate disclosure data, it develops a practical toolkit for targeted management of decarboni…

This paper reviews nuclear power's role in India's decarbonisation strategy, targeting expansion from 8 GW to 100 GW by 2047 toward a 2070 net-zero goal. It covers indigenous PHWRs, fast breeder and thorium designs, and SMRs for industrial …

Nikolaos Sifakis, Dimitrios Cholidis, George Arampatzis

This study develops a multi-objective optimization approach for hybrid renewable energy planning in port decarbonisation, jointly addressing marine-resource complementarity, storage technology choice, and abatement economics. It offers an i…

Kar P.

A cross-regional assessment of how bidirectional charging (V2G) for electric school buses affects environmental outcomes. It examines whether using bus batteries as grid storage can support renewable integration and emissions cuts, and how …

Liu J.

This paper applies patent network analysis to map industry-academia collaboration and technology evolution in CCUS. It identifies which technology domains show strong university-firm co-patenting and suggests future R&D directions. The find…

Shen Y.

This study examines the causal dynamics linking geopolitical risk and climate risk to a global balanced index of ESG equities and green bonds. Without an abstract, methods and findings remain unclear, but the work sits in the literature on …

Shi J.

Proposes a rule-guided BERT model to automatically assess ESG disclosure quality, validated on Chinese listed firms' annual reports. It combines rule-based cues with a pretrained language model to quantify disclosure quality, sitting at the…

Using 17 IDX ESG Leader firms (68 firm-year observations, 2021-2024), this study tests the effect of ESG Risk Rating on firm value (LNMCAP) and financial performance (ROA), with firm size as moderator. ESG risk rating is positively associat…
