This paper introduces a phosphate material (Sr3(PO4)2) that significantly improves proton transport in oxygen electrodes of protonic ceramic electrolysis cells (PCEC), increasing electrolysis current density by up to 148% at 600°C. Calculat…

Wolf DD, Westeinde MV, Qu C

This study evaluates battery electric buses (BEBs) versus hydrogen fuel cell buses (FCEBs) for Brussels' STIB transit agency using LCA, TCO, expert interviews, and multi-criteria analysis. FCEBs show lower emissions under renewable hydrogen…

Corre S, Magnaval G, Boztas O +2

This study evaluates PET management in Switzerland using LCA and TEA, comparing six end-of-life technologies and optimizing waste allocation. Recycling pathways (mechanical and depolymerization) achieve the greatest climate impact reduction…

Hu G, Wang T, Gu Y +1

This study quantifies the capacity limits of coal gangue utilization in China using GCAM, finding that building material use is capped at 100 Mt/yr. Diversifying into power generation, alumina extraction, and backfill recovers significant t…

Zhang Y, Zeng H, Liu Q +3

This paper proposes a novel process to convert CO2 into graphite using active metal liquids like liquid magnesium, with metal recycling via metallurgy, achieving zero waste discharge. The produced graphite is a valuable material, ensuring e…

Kollia M

This Perspective proposes the ZERO framework to shift AI data-centre sustainability evaluation upstream, before resource consumption. It combines hard admissibility constraints, workload characterisation, local resource-state assessment, fe…
