Sodium-ion batteries are a sustainable alternative for large-scale storage, but high-voltage phase transitions cause degradation. This study uses operando XRD and electrochemical analysis to understand these transitions, quantify their impa…

Uzonna Olive Mmonu, Olawale Idowu Babalola

This study compares Nigeria, Kenya, and India to show that equitable and crisis-resilient energy transitions in climate-vulnerable regions require the synergistic co-evolution of decentralized energy systems, digital technologies, and adapt…

This systematic review of 66 studies shows that co-applying biochar and biofertilizers improves soil quality, nutrient uptake, and crop yield while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Effectiveness varies with feedstock and soil conditions, …

Jennifer Batami, Nadhif Rafif P, Syafira Dewi

This paper proposes an innovative system (AODOP) that uses Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) to decompose CO2 and Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) to produce renewable energy from salinity gradients. Initial trials in storage tanks precede …

Rachel Paschoalin, Nigel Isaacs

This paper examines the applicability of European Standard EN16883:2017 for energy retrofit of historic buildings to New Zealand. By applying it to three hypothetical retrofit projects, it assesses benefits and limitations, and proposes ada…

This study analyzes transition patterns towards sustainable maritime logistics in European countries from 2015-2023 using Eurostat indicators. PCA and cluster analysis reveal multiple differentiated pathways rather than a single homogeneous…

Pralit Patel, Matthew Binsted, Marshall Wise +5

This study integrates grid-based electricity storage investment and operation into the GCAM-USA multisector dynamic model to analyze the future role of storage in the U.S. power system. Scenario results show storage capacity of 196-372 GW i…

Hyunseok Koo, Sungwon Hwang

This paper applies artificial neural networks (ANN) to optimize the techno-economic performance of a hybrid membrane-absorption CO2 capture system, considering varying power mix and carbon tax conditions. It balances cost minimization with …

Liaofu Luo, Jun Lv

Land-use change (LUC) carbon emissions (E_LUC) account for about one-third of anthropogenic emissions since industrialization. This study simulates annual E_LUC globally and in China, identifying three phases: increase before 1913, transiti…

Indonesia's B50 biodiesel programme, launched in July 2026, aims to replace petroleum diesel with domestically produced biofuel. This integrative review identifies nine interconnected challenge domains, arguing that the main risk is the mig…

Lütz, Luna, Neuwirth, Marius, Fleiter, Tobias

This dataset provides the optimization results for a multimodal CO2 transport network in North Rhine-Westphalia, determining least-cost routes to geological storage via pipeline, rail, truck, barge, and tanker. It covers 11 scenarios with n…

Bianchi, Marco

This dataset provides numerical results from a trade-based assessment of value-chain vulnerability in green hydrogen production. It quantifies vulnerability indicators at product, stage, and system levels, enabling detailed risk analysis ac…

Perazich, Milan

A systematic census of Canada's public CO2 storage disclosures, focusing on Alberta's regulatory documents. It classifies the legal bases for publication and identifies vulnerabilities where disclosure could be withdrawn, plus non-public in…

Bourassi, Jihad

This strategic note proposes a novel research direction in heterogeneous data fusion for 3D subsurface modeling. Current platforms assume data consistency, suppressing contradictions and causing risks like dry holes and uncertified CCS site…

Cunha, Sónia, Kleijn, Rene, van den Brink, Susan

This paper examines the role of Digital Product Passports (DPP) in the European energy transition, exploring their potential to enhance supply chain transparency and sustainability. It focuses on policy and institutional frameworks to ensur…

Neil Gour

This study examines how Unilever's climate strategies and sustainable practices affect growth, efficiency, supply chain capabilities, and competitive advantage using thematic analysis of secondary data. It finds that climate policies, renew…

Kelly, Mike

This study codes item-level risk and opportunity disclosures in 40 mandatory ESRS and 30 voluntary VSME reports, finding risks outnumber opportunities by 2.32:1 (mandatory) and 2.93:1 (voluntary), with nearly two-thirds of voluntary reporte…
