This paper assesses alternative decarbonization processes in pre-fabricated steel production, a key hard-to-abate sector. It likely compares hydrogen-based reduction, CCUS, and other low-carbon technologies. The findings can inform transiti…

Soseh Zadoorian, Omar Mostafa, Etienne Bernier +1

This study assesses the electrification potential of 13 energy-intensive industrial sub-sectors in Quebec using a bottom-up analysis of fossil fuel consumption and electro-technology applicability. Low- and medium-temperature processes show…

Toyohara, Jin, Zhou, Weisheng

This study introduces DC-DECOM, a tool for deriving cost-optimal decarbonization pathways for data centers in Japan. It considers renewable energy integration and energy efficiency measures to provide optimal strategies under multiple scena…

Ibragimov Umidjon Ubaydullayevich

This study examines Uzbekistan's transition from Soviet-era industry to a low-carbon economy. Despite a 51% reduction in carbon intensity, absolute CO₂ emissions rose 25.7% from 2017-2023. Renewable capacity expanded from near-zero to 1.8 G…

Xueao Sun, Qi Sun, Yuhan Li +3

This study develops a soft-linked sustainability assessment framework to evaluate how policy environments (carbon control, electricity cost support, or both) shape steelmaking route transitions in China from 2025 to 2050. A multi-period, mu…

Friedbert Pflüger

Germany's nuclear phase-out is being reconsidered. This paper argues that renewables alone are insufficient to meet climate targets, and new nuclear technologies like SMRs can complement them for coal phase-out and rising electricity demand…

Kejia Yang, Hao Tan, Wei Shen

This study analyzes how different Chinese regions adopt varying transformative innovation policies to phase out coal. It compares policy pathways tailored to regional characteristics, offering insights for decarbonization.

Shuiyang Chen, Bin Meng, Hercules Haralambides

This paper examines the role of alternative fuels and transition strategies for decarbonizing the shipping industry. It analyzes the potential and challenges of new fuels like ammonia and hydrogen, outlining pathways towards green shipping.

Munehiro Terada

This paper defines the operator-algebraic modular Hamiltonian K_energy for energy systems as part of an information-theoretic unification program. It presents a Wright's Law analysis on battery costs (25.3% learning rate, projecting $82/kWh…

Yang Mao, Sha Wen, Jianhua Huang +2

This study proposes a two-step low-temperature calcination process to convert waste optical fibers into hard carbon for sodium-ion battery anodes, contributing to waste valorization and low-cost battery material production.

Qianyu Ren, Yu Cai, Tao Xu +1

This study uses survey data from rural Hainan, China, to show that social capital (trust, norms, networks) positively influences low-carbon living behaviors, with policy cognition partially mediating the relationship. Heterogeneity is found…

Beibei Wang, Ruxin Lai

Proposes a supply optimization method for free-floating bike sharing systems aimed at low-carbon operations. Evaluates CO2 reduction potential through operational adjustments.
