Using US data from 1990-2024, this study examines how green economy, FinTech, and governance affect environmental sustainability. Applying cointegration, error-correction, QVAR, and heatmap diagnostics, it finds that renewable energy, fores…

Wang X, Shen M, Fu P

This paper proposes a magnetically integrated transformer-type controllable reactor (MI-TCR) for reactive power compensation in power systems with high renewable penetration. Using genetic algorithm-based design optimization and multi-physi…

Pyung Kim

Exploiting Korea's dual regulatory framework (TMS and ETS), this study compares carbon pricing and command-and-control regulation at the firm level. Difference-in-differences estimates show ETS firms reduced energy use by 5.8-8.8% and carbo…

Oscar Adrián Hernandez García

This book provides a technical and conceptual analysis of domestic-scale biodigesters, covering design, implementation, and integration as decentralized systems for energy production and organic waste management. It examines anaerobic diges…

Xinshu Gong, Bin Zheng

This paper proposes a break-regime GAS model (BR-GAS-t) for tail-risk forecasting in China's carbon market, explicitly incorporating policy shifts. It demonstrates improved VaR and ES forecasting accuracy, especially at the 2.5% and 1% tail…
