This systematic review covers CCUS technology of accelerated carbonation with supercritical CO₂ during concrete mixing. It reports CO₂ uptakes of 15-50 kg/m³, compressive strength increases of 12-30%, and carbon footprint reductions of 15-4…

NOUNANGNONHOU CT, DIDAVI KBA, AZA-GNANDJI MR

This paper proposes a hybrid deep learning model (B6) combining CEEMDAN-VMD dual decomposition with a GRU-attention backbone for wind power forecasting. Evaluated on seven wind farms, it reduces MAE and RMSE by 25-35% over baselines for 1h,…

Toyoshima T, Takaguchi H

This study simulates the potential of EV-based demand response in the Tokyo Station Front District, projecting building stock and electricity demand to 2050. Results show that bidirectional V2B/V2G charging can reduce annual energy costs by…

Maataoui, Wijdane El, Abounada, Abdelouahed

This paper proposes replacing the classical virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control with a deep neural network (DNN) for wind power systems. The DNN is trained end-to-end using supervised learning to generate inverter control signals fr…

Somasundaram, Deepa, Krishnamoorthy, N., Anand, J. Vijay +3

This paper proposes an AI-driven framework for EV charging station placement integrating LSTM-based spatiotemporal demand forecasting, GA-PSO multi-objective optimization, and deep reinforcement learning for adaptive resilience. Evaluation …

Zathey, Maciej, Malczewski, Przemysław

This paper analyzes the coherence of regional energy transition policies within EU strategic frameworks (European Green Deal, Fit for 55, RED III). Focusing on the tri-border region of Czechia, Germany, and Poland (Liberec, Saxony, Lower Si…

This paper compares green bonds and sustainability-linked loans (SLLs) for financing industrial decarbonization, using 2024-2026 market data, BIS study, and academic research. Green bonds reduce Scope 1 emissions by 21% within one year, whi…

Arshad Ali, Gohar Ali

This study analyzes the impact of environmental taxes and environmental policy stringency on CO2 emissions across 32 OECD countries from 2000 to 2022 using panel data. Results show that a 1% increase in environmental taxes reduces CO2 emiss…

Jiyun Zhang, LeiLiang Wan, Qingbing Li +2

This paper provides the first systematic review of V2G technology to transform electric Ground Service Equipment (e-GSE) at airports from 'charging loads' into 'dispatchable energy storage resources.' It examines the core technical framewor…

Q. Chen

Analyzes how geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China impact energy transitions in third countries, focusing on supply chain shifts and investment patterns, offering policy insights.

Amogh Ghimire, Sajjad Ali, Kishwar Ali

Using panel data from ASEAN+6 countries, this study examines the relationship between energy transition and environmental efficiency. Fossil fuels negatively impact environmental efficiency, while renewables and globalization improve it. Gl…

Xiaofeng Ran, Jiarui Yuan, Shuyue Jiang +1

This study analyzes the dynamic evolution and spatiotemporal transitions of energy efficiency (EE) in 159 shrinking cities in China using exploratory spatiotemporal data analysis. It employs Random Forest and SHAP to reveal the impact mecha…

Zhenfeng Zhang, Chong Jiang, Aiyun Song +4

This study uses EE-MRIO to analyze offshore wind power in Guangdong and Jiangsu, China. It finds that through a 'local consumption' model, offshore wind effectively replaced coal-fired generation, reducing CO2 emissions by 16.72 million ton…

Y Zhang, Jia-Jia Wu

This paper empirically analyzes the cost-effective synergy of energy and environmental policies for carbon emission reduction in China's iron and steel industry. It examines whether policy combinations are more effective than individual pol…

Delin Xin, Sansan Zhang, Rui Zhang +5

This paper analyzes the spatiotemporal correlation between AI development and energy transition across 30 Chinese provinces. Results show that AI growth is concentrated in eastern regions, while overall energy transition levels are rising. …

TAHA GUNDOGAR

This paper examines the transformation of equipment deployment strategy in energy transition projects, arguing that traditional deterministic cost optimization is insufficient under high logistical uncertainty and market volatility. It prop…
