This paper analyzes how geopolitical tensions in the Red Sea, Strait of Hormuz, and Suez Canal disrupt global shipping. Rerouting via the Cape of Good Hope adds 10-14 days, raises spot freight rates 150-200%, and increases bunker fuel use a…

Wen-Xue Wang, Zi-Jun Ding, Tom Smith +1

This paper conceptually examines how blue accounting and blue finance interact to support sustainable ocean-based development. Reviewing the UN Sustainable Blue Economy Finance Principles, financial instruments, and cases, it argues that bl…

Preeti Singh, Harshit Sinha

This chapter conceptually reviews green finance, climate risk, and sustainable financial systems in the digital economy. It examines green bonds, sustainability-linked bonds, green loans, and carbon markets, along with climate stress tests …

This study assesses hydrogen as seasonal energy storage for RES-based residential power systems using real Estonian household data. Comparing daily and seasonal battery vs. hydrogen configurations techno-economically, it finds that reusing …

Wen-Qi Zhao, Kunpeng Liu

Using STIRPAT models on 281 Chinese cities (2008-2023), this study finds industrial robots cut total carbon emissions short-to-medium term but not long-term, while carbon intensity falls consistently. A rebound effect from firm scale expans…

A techno-economic assessment of a hybrid PV–BESS–green hydrogen system for a public building in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. The 77 kWp PV array with battery and hydrogen storage achieves 98.7% self-sufficiency a…

Yu-Hua Tan, Jun-Qi Guan, Xiu-Yang An

This review classifies variable operating conditions in renewable-powered green hydrogen production and storage systems and clarifies how they affect efficiency, stability, and sustainability. It surveys mechanism-driven, data-driven, and h…

Hajar Bouayad, J. Sabor

A green hydrogen system combining PV, PEM electrolysis, pipeline storage, and fuel cells was designed for a hospital in Ouarzazate, Morocco. Particle swarm optimization sized components to meet 159 kg/day hydrogen demand, with an installati…

Rupali Gupta, Vijayashri Gurme

A conceptual study analyzing how corporate responsibility, visibility, and accountability interact, drawing on Stakeholder, Agency, Legitimacy, Institutional, and Triple Bottom Line theories. Using India's BRR and BRSR regimes, it identifie…

Using consumer goods firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (2021-2025), this study examines how ESG disclosure, green accounting, and sustainability reporting affect financial performance, with firm size as a moderator. ESG disclosur…

Zuominyang Zhang, Qiu-Mei Li, Ke Huang

Using 21,879 Chinese A-share firm-year observations (2009–2021), the study examines within-firm links between digitalization and estimated carbon exposure (industry-year carbon intensity × revenue). Pooled OLS shows ~10.1% higher exposure p…

Jia-Wei Zhang, Han Wang, Ning Zhang +4

This paper proposes a day-ahead electricity price forecasting method integrating market boundary conditions and the electricity carbon footprint factor. It screens key features via Pearson, Spearman, and MIC, then applies a CNN-BiLSTM-Multi…

Bo Miao, Wan-Shui Yu, Jing Li +6

This paper proposes a joint electricity-carbon planning-operation optimization model for distribution networks with high-penetration renewables and storage. It amortizes construction costs to a daily scale and integrates intra-day schedulin…

Hao Yang

China's ETS requires emission allowances to be booked as intangible assets at historical cost, so balance sheets miss market prices and equity valuations are systematically biased downward. Using comparative cases of leading power and steel…

Pei-Zhe Yi, Yan-Jie Li, Peng Ma +2

This paper models strategic bidding by generation companies in a coupled electricity-carbon market using a non-cooperative game. Each firm maximizes profit under capacity, emission, and market-clearing constraints, converging to equilibrium…

Ying Zhou

Using CoinGecko market data, Google Trends, and energy/carbon estimates for major crypto assets (2019–2025), this study tests whether carbon intensity disclosure reshapes investor attention. High-carbon assets draw stronger abnormal search …
