This study conducts a cradle-to-gate LCA of low-carbon concrete using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and rice husk ash (RHA). The 10% RHA-100% RCA mix achieves a 7.55% GWP reduction while meeting compressive strength requirements. Sensit…

Andres A. Torres-Acosta

This study proposes a durability-based lifecycle sustainability framework (Relative LCSI) for low-clinker concrete, integrating service life, GHG emissions, costs, and maintenance. It shows that embodied carbon reductions can be offset by s…

This review systematically compares CO2 geological storage options in China from an engineering perspective, evaluating six storage types (deep saline aquifers, depleted oil/gas reservoirs, coal seams, basalts, shales, marine sediments) usi…

Tianzhi Ouyang, Qi Liu

This review proposes an integrated framework for evaluating economic cost-benefit and environmental resource management performance under carbon trading markets. It synthesizes theoretical foundations, economic costs and benefits, and envir…

Lili Lu

This paper develops a two-echelon low-carbon supply chain game model to analyze the effects of carbon cap-and-trade and government subsidies on manufacturing decarbonization. It finds that cap-and-trade maximizes profitability and carbon re…

RUSHI CHEN, Effie Kesidou, Peter Howley

Using China's ETS as a quasi-natural experiment, this paper shows that regulatory-induced green innovation is path-dependent: the ETS only stimulates green innovation among firms with recent, continuous green innovation experience, not amon…

Dara Ghahremani

This repository provides a machine-readable corpus of annual reports from European listed banks (2013-2023), along with scripts and an ESG dictionary for text analysis. It supports reproducible ESG disclosure research, including term-densit…

Aleena Varekat Charly, Tetiana Paientko

This paper examines stock price reactions to five CSRD milestones using matched German DAX and US S&P 500 firms. The annual difference-in-differences estimator yields a positive coefficient, but diagnostics indicate it does not identify a r…

Małgorzata Radomska

This chapter analyzes the relationship between sustainability reporting and AI from a regulatory perspective. ESG disclosure and AI regulation have developed separately, leading to fragmentation and practical challenges. It maps key legisla…

Louis Delannoy, D. Murphy

This book provides a comprehensive synthesis of recent advances in net energy analysis (NEA), focusing on the EROI concept and covering process-based accounting, input-output analysis, hybrid methods, and system-wide assessments. It explore…

Angie Bexley

This paper analyzes Indonesia's clean energy investment promotion measures (green taxonomy, green bonds, guarantee mechanisms) and argues that de-risking apparatus to attract private finance may exacerbate inequality. It examines the social…

Michele Manfroni, Louis Delannoy, Sandrine Mathy +4

This chapter critically examines industrial energy representation in integrated assessment models (IAMs), highlighting insufficient capture of energy-material nexus, embodied energy, and upstream constraints. Demand-driven, price-constraine…

IRAMBONA Gael

This paper introduces the Transition Autonomization Threshold (TAT) framework to explain why some decarbonization transitions become self-sustaining while others remain dependent on external policy support. It proposes the Transition Autono…

Tristan Martin, Iñigo Capellán‐Pérez, Juan Manuel Campos-Rodríguez +1

This paper proposes a novel methodology for dynamically assessing energy and material requirements of transitioning to renewable energy systems using an energy system model. Simulating scenarios up to 2060, it finds that re-materialization …

Camilla Marlene Ernst Andersen, Rasmus Nøddegaard Hansen, Endrit Hoxha +1

This study compares wood-based and conventional construction pathways in Denmark from 2025 to 2050, projecting material flows and emissions using LCA of 16 case buildings. Wood-based materials significantly reduce upfront GHG emissions and …
