Energy efficiency is often cited as a critical component of mitigation pathways that avoid the worst effects of climate change but suffers from chronic underinvestment. This paper evaluates the efficacy of a range of voluntary approaches—monetary incentives, information and behavioral...

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly viewed as both a potential driver of environmental sustainability and a contributor to global energy demand. Yet little is known about how the public interprets these dual narratives. We conducted a pre-registered online experiment (N =...

The timing of payment can enhance salience, making customers more price-responsive when paying before consumption rather than after. This study examines Indonesia’s nationwide switch to prepaid electricity metering, impacting over 40 million households. We find that prepaid metering users are...

Improving the energy efficiency of the residential housing sector represents a key challenge in meeting Ireland's carbon reduction targets. While challenges exist across the sector in terms of incentivising upgrades, these difficulties are more pronounced in the rental sector, which suffers from...

Feedback interventions are a promising tool for promoting household energy conservation and addressing climate change. This study examines whether their effectiveness improves with incentivized energy saving goals through a field experiment involving 422 Singaporean households over eight months....

Against the backdrop of China's "dual-carbon" goals, the complex interplay between fiscal decentralization and green taxation presents significant challenges for climate governance. This study examines the impact of green taxation on carbon emissions within the context of fiscal...

This paper provides an analysis of water heating within South Africa's residential energy demand. Using MAED, this work models four scenarios to examine the impact of varying degrees of governmental intervention and policy implementation, specifically SANS10400-XA2, on water heating energy...

Purpose This study explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in advancing sustainability within business practices. It focuses on three key areas: optimising energy efficiency, developing sustainable products and services, and improving waste and resource management. By integrating...

The objective of this work is to examine the various aspects related to the market implementation of emerging demand-side servitized energy services. To provide context, the motivations, benefits, risks, and technical challenges related to energy service servitization are analyzed in detail from...

The Oil and Gas (O&G) sector is essential to the global energy supply, yet it still struggles with inefficiencies caused by conventional, paper-driven decision-making processes in its supply chain. This study aims to assess the integration of blockchain technology as a strategic solution to...

The global transition to low-carbon energy systems hinges on the adoption of technologies that are socially acceptable, technically feasible, and regionally relevant. This qualitative study, conducted within the EU-funded HYSTORE project, examines stakeholder perceptions of hybrid thermal energy...

China's iron and steel industry, significant for national economic development, is notable for high energy consumption and carbon emissions. To balance industry growth with carbon neutrality goals, it is crucial to analyze emissions throughout production processes. This study begins with an...

This article analyzed the effect of various energy sources, energy efficiency, technological innovation, population size, and GDP on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United Kingdom. The annual data spanning from 1990 to 2021 is examined utilizing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL)...

The rise of green startups transformed the role of entrepreneurship by integrating sustainability into business models, fostering economic growth while addressing urgent ecological concerns. This review explores the role of green startups in economic development, analyzing their contributions to...

Strategically improving carbon emission efficiency (CEE) through digital intelligence technology innovation (DITI) is imperative to capitalize on emerging opportunities for economic decarbonization and low-carbon green development. This study employs panel data from 283 Chinese cities from 2011...

With the rapid advancement of intelligent railway systems, the demand for sustainable and distributed power supply for the increasing number of monitoring sensors has become a pressing issue. Piezoelectric energy harvesting, which converts the abundant mechanical vibrations generated in...

Urged by the European Energy Crisis and the threatening consequences of severe natural gas shortages, energy providers launched gas-saving initiatives incorporating financial incentives to reduce residential natural gas consumption. In collaboration with one of Germany’s largest energy...
