Hybrid LCA of French research activities reveals limited trade-offs for decarbonization strategies across multiple impacts

Impact of Decarbonization Strategies on Air Pollution Levels Across Various Vessel Categories by Quantitative Assessment

Transportation emits greenhouse gases (GHGs) and various air pollutants detrimental to human health. To achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, the maritime industry has implemented increasingly stringent regulations and commitments. Consequently, substantial investments in modern technologies, alternative fuels, and i...

Comparison of major EU and climate scenarios for 2040: what contribution from energy savings and sufficiency?

Extended abstract 3-288-26 While the role of energy demand reduction to meet climate objectives is increasingly considered, most scenarios do not fully reflect this potential, and only a few explore low-demand pathways. Literature reviews show that this is not only due to preferences of modellers or scenario users, but...

Decarbonizing the Built Environment: A Critical Review of Systemic Gaps and Future Pathways

As built-environment carbon research expands from quantification toward mitigation decision support, a central unresolved question is whether reported carbon advantages remain valid under the conditions governing real decisions and implementation. This review integrates bibliometric mapping and structured full-text syn...

The role and prospects of negative emission technologies for carbon neutrality

Navigating Towards Zero Emissions: Decarbonization Pathways in Maritime Transport

Maritime transport is a fundamental component of global trade, ensuring the movement of approximately 80% of goods worldwide. Despite its efficiency, the sector remains a notable contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2). In the context of increasing environmental concerns and internati...

Decarbonization pathways and mitigation potential assessment for the steel sector in Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia’s steel sector faces the dual challenge of expanding production to meet rising demand while reducing carbon emissions. This study develops a bottom-up cost minimization model with 19 steelmaking technologies for six Southeast Asian countries over 2020–2070 and applies a three-dimensional scenario design...
