This paper optimizes short-term dispatch of a pumped-storage hydropower plant using MILP with actual 2024 day-ahead prices from Slovenia. Results show positive operating results by responding to price volatility and negative prices, with hi…

Mengran Liu, Jingna Kou, Shuai Yao

This paper empirically analyzes the impact of China's outward foreign direct investment on the energy transition of host countries. It examines the moderating effect of government governance and heterogeneity, suggesting that the effectiven…

This chapter examines 'green grabbing'—resource dispossession legitimized through environmental narratives—amid democratic regression, using Indonesia's geothermal development in Poco Leok as a case study. It identifies two mechanisms: lega…

Monroy-Osorio J.C.

This paper proposes a framework for leveraging digital technologies to achieve net-zero targets. It provides concrete strategies and implementation steps to promote sustainable industry practices, serving as a guide for companies integratin…

Bisht A.S.

This paper analyzes decarbonization pathways for the Indian power sector, comparing net-zero targets of 2050 and 2070. It examines feasibility and costs of policy options including renewable energy deployment and coal phase-out.

This qualitative case study of a coal-fired power plant in Indonesia examines how green innovation moderates the relationship between environmental pressure and financial performance. Investments in pollution control, biomass co-firing, and…

Panpan Yao, Hairong Jiang, Tian Wang +2

This study evaluates pollution and carbon reduction pathways for a thermal power plant in northern China using LEAP and SWOT models. Results show clean energy capacity exceeding 80% by 2030 and near-zero CO2 emissions by 2060 under a compre…

Guy Jackson, Sakshi

This ethnographic study examines local arguments for and against the low-carbon 'Energy Coast' in Suffolk, UK, using a scalar environmental justice framework. It finds that most debates focus on local impacts and national security, obscurin…

Caroline Verfuerth, Catherine Cherry, Christina Demski +3

This paper explores the interplay between individual lifestyle changes and systemic transformation in the transition to a low-carbon society. It argues that individual behavioral shifts alone are insufficient and must be accompanied by inst…

Caixia Hou, Haitao Zhang, Ruichang Mao

This study analyzes development patterns and material metabolism of expressways under China's low-carbon transition, assessing environmental impacts. It provides policy insights for decarbonizing infrastructure.

Amirsaman Rezaeyan, Vera Dogo, Mohammad Salehian +4

This study presents a carbon-aware optimization framework for oilfield operations under geological uncertainty, analyzing trade-offs between oil production and operational CO2-eq emissions. Using 216 geological model realizations and multi-…

Chris Djie ten Dam

This thesis uses discrete choice modeling to investigate how built environment design can support the transport energy transition. Results show that density within walking range is most influential, and overall urbanity matters more than pr…

ІВАН КАВУН, Anatolii Zamulko

This paper explores the application of Result-Based Management (RBM) methodology for evaluating and accelerating digital transformation of electricity distribution networks in Ukraine. It develops a logical model for DSOs linking inputs to …

This paper evaluates how capacity payments and portfolio complementarities between hydropower and wind influence renewable investment decisions under uncertainty using a real options approach. Applied to the Brazilian electricity market, it…

Grace Alinaitwe, Florence Barugahara

Using Ugandan national survey data and a multivariate probit model, this study analyzes household solar PV adoption determinants. Income, savings, and education significantly predict uptake among off-grid households, while grid access and u…

Stefan Siedentop

This paper critically examines land-use conflicts arising from Germany's sectoral decarbonization agenda. It argues that the federal government has not explicitly treated territorial coordination of competing land-use demands as a policy ob…

Alí Aali-Bujari, Héctor F. Salazar-Núñez, Miguel Á. Tinoco-Zermeño +1

This study analyzes the long-term relationships among energy transition, CO2 emissions, and green growth using panel data from 63 countries. Cointegration tests confirm a stable equilibrium, and Granger causality tests show that energy tran…
