This study assesses biogenic carbon storage and net embodied GHG emissions in global urban building stocks from 2020 to 2100 under material substitution scenarios (10%, 30%, 50%) with structural wood and biochar-based concrete. Wood substit…

Ouyang, Zhaofeng, Song, Meitong, Tang, Xiaodan +2

This meta-analysis of 81 enhanced rock weathering (ERW) studies shows that detectable signals depend strongly on system openness, with exchangeable Ca/Mg signals attenuating from incubations to field trials. Application rate is the main con…

Wiltink, Thijmen

This dissertation evaluates the supply chain for high-temperature CO2 co-electrolysis in Europe from 2025 to 2050 using a spatially explicit optimization model. Results show that co-locating electrolyzers with syngas demand is optimal, and …

Gregorio, Rose

Europe's climate neutrality and industrial competitiveness depend on a circular battery value chain. Building on the EU Batteries Regulation and Ecodesign rules, this paper analyzes implementation gaps in reverse logistics, repurposing, and…

Jendeya, Ahmed

This package provides reproducibility materials for a study on the value of operational weather forecasts in optimizing utility-scale PV-battery dispatch under export limits. It includes forecasting, MPC, robustness, and sensitivity scripts…
