This study examines the role of organizational change management in facilitating low-carbon transition in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPCL). Using a mixed-methods case study, it finds high awareness and leadership commitment b…

Khan, Younas

This paper decomposes and dates the renewable energy transitions of Jordan and the UAE from 2000 to 2023, comparing how differing policy and economic architectures shaped the pace and pathway of each country's transition. It provides empiri…

Zihao Zhang, Yuanbo Zhang, Xiaolei Ma +1

Using the 2026 US-Iran oil shock as a natural experiment, this study analyzes 1.7 trillion point-of-interest visits across 122,000 neighborhoods in China and the US. Mobility range declined in nearly three-quarters of neighborhoods, with ex…

This empirical study evaluates the combined effects of aerobic tillage and controlled irrigation on rice yield and greenhouse gas emissions in a high-latitude rice-growing region. It suggests that such practices can maintain yield while red…

Nosaibeh Nosrati-Ghods, Bryce McCall, Harro von Blottnitz +4

This paper explores transition pathways for South Africa's coal-to-liquids (CTL) industry under long-term GHG constraints. It analyzes technological and economic routes, deriving policy implications for balancing decarbonization and industr…

Siyu Li, Wen Teng, Fan Ye +7

This study shows that irrigation regimes in rice paddies mediate the effects of nitrification and urease inhibitors on yield and greenhouse gas emissions through rhizosphere carbon and nitrogen partitioning. The effectiveness of inhibitors …

Yu Wang, Yinghong Wang, Yang Sun +5

This study evaluates the emission reduction effectiveness of Beijing's coal-to-gas and coal-to-electricity policies using greenhouse gas concentration data from 1993-2024 and vertical profiles from 2022-2024. CO2 growth rates decelerated an…

Yonas Tesema, Siddharth Sareen

This paper examines challenges and firm-level decarbonization strategies in the manufacturing sector's path to net-zero. It likely synthesizes experiences and strategic approaches, offering insights for policy and practice, though empirical…

Ouyang L.

This paper proposes an optimal capacity planning method for a bundled wind-PV-thermal power system under carbon emission trading. It balances economic efficiency and environmental performance by integrating renewables with flexible thermal …

Richardson I.

This paper provides a catalog of global geothermal power plants, highlighting the role of geothermal energy in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Geothermal power is a renewable source that contributes to lowering fossil fuel dependence and…
