A review of 102 studies finds that 56±25% of soil organic carbon in blue carbon ecosystems is allochthonous particulate organic carbon (POC). Including it in carbon accounting risks overestimation and double-counting, but its role in stabil…

Marcin Kacperczyk, José‐Luis Peydró

This paper studies how firm-level carbon emissions affect bank lending and real outcomes using global syndicated loan data. Exploiting bank climate commitments as shocks to lending relationships, it finds that high-emission firms borrowing …

Afsha Ali, Muhammad Kashif Khan, Farooq Ahmad +2

This review frames CO2 capture as part of an integrated carbon management system, covering catalytic conversion, biomass coupling, hydrogen integration, mineralization, and AI-assisted process design. It contrasts reactive capture with sequ…

Decarbonizing concrete is vital for climate targets, but low-carbon mixes often reduce alkalinity, raising corrosion concerns. This paper proposes a framework combining moisture transport modeling and corrosion science to predict microclima…

Will Alpine, Nathan B. Geldner, Holly Alpine +1

This study models AI as a bidirectional productivity amplifier in a global CGE model, finding that AI-driven productivity gains in fossil fuel sectors lead to net CO2 emission increases of 0.47-1.8 Gt annually, outweighing reductions from r…

Almendra Awerkin, Paolo Falbo, Tiziano Vargiolu

This paper addresses two challenges in Renewable Energy Communities (REC): investment in renewable technologies and equitable sharing of incentives. Modeling a virtual REC with a household and a biogas producer as a leader-follower game, it…

Maxwell Woody, Gregory A. Keoleian

This study analyzes the carbon abatement costs of electric vehicles (EVs) across U.S. cities, finding that in many cities the costs are negative, meaning EVs offer both emissions reductions and economic benefits. The results highlight the i…

Rumen Mihailov, Vladimir Valkanov

This paper proposes a data-driven model to forecast photovoltaic output for small grid-tied plants, addressing grid stability challenges from high renewable penetration. It highlights the 2025 Iberian blackout and argues that improved forec…

Anup Pradhan, Peter Onu

This survey comprehensively analyzes the evolution, current state, and prospects of smart energy, revealing a shift toward decentralized systems, renewable integration, and digitalization. It identifies challenges such as cybersecurity, reg…
