This paper proposes generalized electrification solutions for breweries using Pinch Analysis for heat pump integration and process decarbonization. It offers a practical method to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions at industrial…

Mugisana, Radi, Eneng Nurdiana Septifani, Laras Angelia Nirwana Sari

This paper examines greenwashing in ESG disclosure via a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of Scopus articles (2019-2025), integrating legitimacy and stakeholder theories. Findings show greenwashing emerges when firms f…

Yihan Wang, Chen Chen, Zongguo Wen

This paper proposes a hybrid centralized-distributed green ammonia system to decarbonize China's nitrogen fertilizer production cost-effectively. It explores the potential of integrating renewable energy and ammonia synthesis for industrial…

Ammad Ahmed, Sumit Dhull, Atia Hussain

This paper examines how adverse climate narrative innovations (regulatory and opportunity shocks) affect ESG reporting credibility, measured as ESG alignment. Using a multi-country panel from 2001-2023, it finds that adverse shocks lower al…

R. Tripathi, A. N. Nayak, A. K. Gouda +3

This review paper comprehensively examines opportunities and challenges for decarbonization from agriculture through voluntary carbon markets worldwide. It highlights issues of carbon credit supply, quality assurance, and market mechanisms,…

Larissa Thaís Bruschi, Natália de Almeida Menezes, Luiz Kulay +2

This paper analyzes how different hydrogen sources (e.g., green, blue) affect the optimization of renewable liquefied gas (e.g., e-methane, ammonia) supply chains under decarbonization policies. Using an optimization model, it evaluates pol…

Fateh Belaïd, Madeline Taylor

This paper constructs a global typology of residential energy use, analyzing the link between energy deprivation and decarbonization constraints. It classifies national energy consumption patterns and identifies barriers to decarbonization.

Wei Liu, Nicholas Dacre, Hao Dong +2

This empirical study compares European chemical and software industries to examine how actual ESG performance and ESG disclosure affect corporate financial performance. Results show that actual ESG performance has greater financial impact i…
