This dataset provides product-level China-U.S. manufacturing trade data, production-stage carbon emission factors, embodied-carbon calculations, and production-relocation scenario results for 2020-2024. It enables analysis of carbon emissio…

Bing Zhou, Yue Sun

This study empirically analyzes the impact of transition finance on debt financing costs using Chinese A-share listed manufacturing firms. It finds that transition finance reduces debt costs through improved environmental disclosure, eased …

P C. Chen

This paper analyzes the EU's solar panel supply chain dependence on China, framing it as a shift from fuel dependence to embedded clean-technology dependence. It evaluates EU policy responses and Chinese import exposure, highlighting geopol…

Shen Xiaowang

This paper proposes an eight-dimensional framework for climate investment decision-making, integrating physical climate risk, transition risk, policy risk, and financial returns into a unified mathematical system. It demonstrates applicabil…

Mehmet Doğan Üçok

This paper assesses refining chokepoints in critical mineral supply chains, combining midstream concentration metrics with geopolitical risk scenarios. It highlights vulnerabilities from geographic concentration and derives policy implicati…

Modeling 719 Swiss Alpine municipalities, this study shows that local energy communities co-investing in grid infrastructure can increase renewable capacity by up to 50% and achieve the highest CO2 savings, while yielding net welfare gains.

Clara Andrada-Monrós, Elisa Peñalvo-López, Iván Valencia-Salazar +1

This paper presents a methodological framework for evaluating municipal energy transitions, focusing on the techno-energy pillar. It integrates diagnostic indicators, efficiency improvements, and renewable potential to quantify current ener…

Elias Skodras

This paper proposes Transport Energy Infrastructure (TEI) as a distinct infrastructure category for Europe's evolving transport and energy systems. It argues that the central constraint of the energy transition is shifting from generation t…
