This paper examines the role of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in the transition from gross emissions to net zero using an analytic climate economy model. Key findings suggest CDR complements emission reduction efforts and enables cost-effect…

Bulfaro, Isabella, Sánchez, Anna, Fadul, Mikel +3

This study systematically compares GHG emissions from biomethane splitting for hydrogen and solid carbon under three accounting frameworks: EU RED III, UK Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard, and ISO LCA. RED III underestimates removal potential b…

This repository contains OSeMOSYS models for a study on techno-economic optimization and energy equity metrics integration for Viet Nam's energy transition plan, developed with MUIO v5.3.

Kaseb, Zeynab, Rane, Rahul, Lekic, Aleksandra +4

This paper proposes a quantum hardware-in-the-loop framework that integrates a real-time digital simulator with quantum hardware to solve optimal power flow for power systems with high renewable penetration. It validates using the IEEE 9-bu…

Dargam, Fatima, Gabriel Steffen

This paper presents the Market and Competitive Research Analysis (MCRA) developed under the Horizon Europe NET-Fuels project for carbon-negative fuel systems. It integrates decision-support methodologies (SWOT, PESTEL, Porter's Five Forces)…

Jammeh, Bakary

This dataset supports an empirical study of the EU ETS's role in renewable energy deployment and wholesale electricity price formation across Europe. It includes econometric, survey, and market data to assess how carbon price signals drive …

Yahaya, Onipe Adabenege

This study examines the dynamic relationship between green financing and climate change in Nigeria from 2000-2025 using ARDL bounds testing. It finds that green financing significantly reduces CO2 emissions in both short and long run. Fossi…

Liu, Xinyuan

This study simulates China's industrial deep decarbonization pathways from 2020 to 2060 using the IMED|TEC model under four scenarios (BAU, Default, Accelerated, Delayed). It analyzes impacts on carbon emissions, energy consumption, technol…

Mohamed Atef, Sanath Alahakoon, Umme Mumtahina +3

This paper develops a techno-economic framework for designing optimal microgrids for remote communities, combining simulation, dispatch modeling, and lifecycle costing. Applied to a 1000-household case in Australia, it evaluates hybrid syst…

This systematic literature review (PRISMA) examines the dual role of ESG disclosure in financial statement fraud: as a monitoring mechanism enhancing transparency and reducing fraud, and as a camouflage mechanism via ESG-washing that can co…

Liyu Long, Zhi Wang, Yuan Jiang

Using Chinese A-share listed firms from 2010-2023, this study constructs a climate disclosure intensity index via textual analysis. It finds that higher disclosure intensity significantly increases firms' total factor productivity (TFP) thr…

Jie Peng, Ahmed Imran Hunjra, Shikuan Zhao

This paper examines the relationship between firms' financial access and their climate risk disclosure. It empirically investigates how better access to finance influences the quality and quantity of climate-related disclosures, suggesting …

Hao Yin, Sandrah P. Eckel, Mehak Kaur +9

This study proposes a machine learning imputation approach to estimate facility-level GHG emissions in U.S. hospitals from incomplete self-reported data. It improves data completeness and accuracy for carbon accounting.

Kevin Gurney, Bilal Aslam, Pawlok Dass +2

Using a new machine-learning global FFCO2 dataset (Vulcan-UrbanML), this study estimates urban share of global territorial FFCO2 emissions at 63.6-69.9% for 2022, and consumption-based urban share at 65.3-79.3%. Per capita urban emissions a…

Zihua Yin, Xi Lu, Chris P. Nielsen +14

This paper proposes a framework for reconfiguring industrial spatial layout guided by renewable energy potential to mitigate inequity risks in China's net-zero energy transition. It explores optimizing industrial distribution to align with …

V. Levchenko, O. Sereda

This paper analyzes the impact of ESG factors on enterprise investment activity under conditions of sustainable economic transformation. It identifies asymmetric investment recovery and a shift toward intangible assets, revealing mechanisms…

Shubham Kumar Verma, Nandkishor M. Sawai, Shantharam Patil

This systematic review integrates qualitative synthesis and bibliometric analysis of 2,658 publications (2021-2025) on net-zero energy buildings (NZEB). Findings show research is centered on energy efficiency and renewable integration but l…

Prabal Das, Nabendu Sen

This paper proposes a multi-objective production-inventory optimization framework for industrial boiler decarbonization, incorporating green investment and fuel switching. It combines technoeconomic and policy analysis to balance cost and e…
