Using a representative German telephone survey (N=1155) and mixed methods, this study analyzes how trust in government and corporations affects renewable energy acceptance. Trust in government increases perceived benefits and reduces percei…

M Pattanaik, Jitendra Mahakud

This study examines the impact of board gender diversity (BGD) on renewable energy consumption using firm-level data from 18 G20 countries (2010-2022). Findings show BGD positively influences renewable energy consumption, with stronger effe…

This paper extends the ETEM model to assess hydrogen integration in metropolitan energy systems, applying it to Montréal. Under full carbon neutrality, hydrogen reaches ~7% of final energy by 2050, with production exceeding 33 PJ, but uptak…

Daichen Guo, Sanglin Zhao

This study empirically examines the impact of corporate digital transformation (DX) on carbon emissions and the mediating role of ESG performance, using Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2023. DX reduces carbon emissions by impr…

Hughes, Hunter

Frames the clean energy transition as an institutional crisis of state capacity, arguing for a modernized Developmental State with coordinated planning, strategic finance, and industrial discipline. Offers a 12-chapter architecture and a 20…

MOUSSAFIR Hasna

This paper proposes a unified conceptual framework to model how the CSRD and ESRS reshape corporate disclosure through double materiality. Integrating signaling, agency, legitimacy, and stakeholder theories, it argues that structural conver…

Frederik, Fristed

This dataset supports a study analyzing the roles of renewable fuels and CCS in net-zero transport and energy systems. It provides input data and results for 37 scenarios using the Balmorel energy system model. Open-source model and data en…

Sikder, Pranta

GETP v1.0 is a harmonized database of realized ascent and descent rates for electricity technologies across 214 countries (1985-2025). It applies a symmetric diagnostic engine to both expanding and contracting trajectories, enabling compari…

Sikder, Pranta

An open panel of marginal emission factors for electricity across 203 economies (1999-2025), enabling accurate assessment of emissions from additional electricity demand (EVs, heat pumps, data centers). It provides average, operating margin…

Yuanyuan Ma, Siyu Peng, Yun Yu

This study develops a hybrid forecasting framework integrating CEEMDAN, sample entropy reconstruction, and coefficient of variation ensemble to capture multi-scale nonlinear carbon price dynamics. SHAP and TVP-SV-VAR reveal scale-specific a…

This study compares four routes for green methanol production from biomass and renewable power, revealing trade-offs in carbon use, energy efficiency, emissions, and cost. Hydrogen-integrated gasification achieves 92% carbon utilization and…

Bowen Tian, Pei Zhao, Min Liu +11

This study analyzes the interaction between V2G and time-of-use pricing using a unit commitment model of the 2030 Jing-Jin-Tang grid with Bayesian optimization. It finds that current static tariffs incentivize EV discharge during midday sol…

Ma, Minghui, Valdiserri, Paolo, Ballerini, Vincenzo +2

This study proposes a deep learning framework to predict building heat load for a single apartment in Bologna using previous 24h data. Optuna optimizes hyperparameters for LSTM, TCN, MLP, XGBoost, and LR; LSTM performs best. Physics-constra…

Luh, Sandro (author), Kannan, Ramachandran (author), McKenna, Russell (author) +2

This study extends the Swiss TIMES energy system model with heterogeneous consumer segments and charging infrastructure (CI) options to analyze BEV adoption and net-zero implications. Results show BEV share reaches 39-77% by 2050, requiring…

Luh, Sandro (author), Kannan, Ramachandran (author), McKenna, Russell (author) +2

This study integrates travel time duration and valuation into the Swiss TIMES Energy System Model (STEM) to quantify modal shifts in passenger transport. Results show that speed changes on medium and long trips (e.g., highway speed limits, …
