Formulating decarbonisation strategies with carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, as well as integration of an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy into the core business of multinational companies, are highly debated research areas. The former would bring...

The climate crisis requires a transition from a fossil-fuel energy system to renewable energy which is heavily reliant on the so-called critical minerals. Both sets of resources are finite/non-renewable and have been widely used for generations. Previous energy related studies have identified...

Green technologies are innovative methods for reducing environmental impact and enhancing resource efficiency, thereby significantly promoting sustainable power production. This comprehensive review has been discussed the significant impact of energy management and green technology on advancing...

Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods for sustainability assessment (SA) have been used in various decision-making processes for energy system transformation. However, concerns remain about the complexity and resource intensity of their application. The literature on MCDA and SA...

Water scarcity in the Hai River Basin poses a significant challenge to China's energy security, restricting the sustainable expansion of energy production. This study develops an energy-oriented Water-Energy-Food (WEF) collaborative optimization model using a decomposition-coordination...

Limiting global warming to 1.5°C requires immediate action. Although allowable global greenhouse gas emissions are well-defined, translating these targets into actionable strategies at the company-level remains challenging. This study addresses critical gaps in understanding transition cost...

Hydrogen presents a unique opportunity to transform Integrated Energy Systems (IES) by enhancing efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability across electricity, heat, and transport sectors. This comprehensive review examines hydrogen's complete supply chain - production, storage, and...

Canadian remote communities predominantly rely on diesel for electricity generation, resulting in high energy costs, environmental damage, unreliable services, and limitations on community development. To promote the widespread adoption of renewable energy (RE) in remote regions, a comprehensive...

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has evolved into a strategic governance framework through which organisations address environmental sustainability, stakeholder expectations, and long-term institutional viability. In knowledge-intensive organisations such as universities, Green Artificial...

Smart energy transformation processes include the use of innovative energy technologies and infrastructure and contribute to decreasing the environmental load by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the quality of service to consumers, ensuring a stable and uninterrupted supply of...

This paper examines how financial development shapes total factor energy efficiency (TFEE) across the European Union (EU-27) and Western Balkans (WB-6) via a two-stage methodology. We develop DEA-based TFEE indicators from 2006 to 2021 via a window approach that reflects short- and medium-term...

The potential of digital trade (DTE) and energy justice (EJ) to support environmental quality requires in-depth exploration because the environmental gains of DTE can be compromised in economies where EJ is not ensured. This study explores the environmental effects of DTE and EJ on ecological...

In der vorliegenden Studie wurde geprüft, ob und in welchem Umfang passive Netzinfrastrukturen (z. B. Funkmasten, Strommasten, Windkraftanlagen) und Liegenschaften von Energieversorgern einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Mobilfunkversorgung und zur Beschleunigung des Mobilfunkausbaus in...

Das Land Baden-Württemberg hat ehrgeizige Ziele zum Klimaschutz formuliert. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht, wie sich diese Energiewende auf die Beschäftigung im Land auswirkt- quantitativ wie auch qualitativ. Die Kombination aus sektoraler Betrachtung, strukturökonomischer Analyse,...

Although by its very nature climate resilience can never be fully "standardized", the development and mainstreaming of climate resilience metrics can benefit from greater consensus around key topics. Areas such as metric categories, methodologies, and reporting frameworks can be aligned through...

Systematic analysis and evaluation of nuclear energy development serves as a cornerstone in shaping national nuclear science and technology strategies. This study undertakes a comparative investigation of global nuclear energy modeling paradigms, aiming to elucidate methodological strengths and...

Iran's energy sector is characterized by its significant reserves, market dynamics, economic challenges, and political and global impacts. This paper employs an integrated, scenario-based robust planning approach to address Iran's energy imbalance, which manifests as excess demand or...

Aspiring to become the "Battery of Southeast Asia," the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) has rapidly expanded its electricity generation capacity to export power to neighbouring countries. However, this expansion introduces several long-term risks, including over-capacity, rising...

The prevailing view is that ESG performance contributes to corporate financial stability, particularly regarding long-term sustainability objectives. However, there is a notable lack of critical research exploring its short-term financial effects, especially within capital-intensive sectors...
