This paper focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from poultry farming through improved feed, manure management, and other practices.

Rasmeet Singh, Gabi Burge, Muhammad Haider Ali Khan +4

This paper presents OpenCu, an open-source Python framework for evaluating renewable energy integration in copper value chains from mine to export. It links process mass and energy balances with levelized costs, Scope 1-2 emissions, and pol…

Nadia Fausta Azhara

This paper examines how ambiguous definitions of forest and deforestation in regulations and standards allow mining companies to selectively comply (norm shopping), undermining the environmental and social integrity of the EV supply chain a…

Aurelija Petkevičienė

This paper examines how management practices impact GHG emissions in the chemical industry. Semi-structured interviews reveal that business strategy, top management commitment, cross-functional engagement, and supply chain management indire…

Virmani N.

This paper analyzes the adoption of net-zero supply chains in emerging economies by integrating the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). It aims to identify barriers and drivers for tran…
