In this paper, we introduce a novel method, reactive hydrothermal liquid phase densification (rHLPD), which is able to solidify (densify) monolithic materials without using high temperature kilns. Then we integrate MEA-based CCS processing and mineral carbonation by using rHLPD technology. This integration is designated as rHLPD-Carbon Sequestration (rHLPD-CS) process. Our results show that the CO2 captured in the MEA-CO2 solution was sequestered by the mineral (wollastonite CaSiO3) carbonation at a low operating temperature (60 ºC) and simultaneously monolithic materials with a compressive strength of ~121 MPa were formed. This suggests that the use of rHLPD-CS technology eliminates the energy consumed for CO2-MEA stripping and CO2 compression and also sequesters CO2 to form value-added products, which have a potential to be utilized as construction and infrastructure materials. In contrast to the high energy requirements and excessive greenhouse gas emissions from conventional Portland cement manufacturing, our calculations show that the integration of rHLPD and CS technologies provides a low energy alternative to production of traditional cementitious binding materials.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2015.00053","authors":["Qinghua Li","Surojit Gupta","Ling Tang","S.

This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of recent articles focusing on the synthesis methods of CQDs and graphene quantum dots (GQDs), their characteristics, and their effects on the mechanical, thermal, and durability properties of cement-based materials. Furthermore, the potential challenges and future research directions in this field towards carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) direction are also discussed. The mechanisms behind these improvements are analyzed, focusing on the interfacial bonding between CQDs, seeding nucleation of the cement hydration process, and filling effect. Additionally, the review addresses the challenges associated with CQD implementation, such as cost-effectiveness and large-scale implementation. Finally, a suggested outline for optimizing CQDs used in construction materials in many research directions is discussed, suggesting novel ways for high-performance, functional, and sustainable construction materials for smart applications.

Correspondingly, it has been suggested that plants under water deficit suffer from C shortage. In this study, we test this hypothesis in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) by providing an overview of the responses of growth, C balance, metabolites, enzymes of the central metabolism, and a set of sugar-responsive genes to a sustained soil water deficit. The results show that under drought, rosette relative expansion rate is decreased more than photosynthesis, leading to a more positive C balance, while root growth is promoted. Several soluble metabolites accumulate in response to soil water deficit, with K(+) and organic acids as the main contributors to osmotic adjustment. Osmotic adjustment costs only a small percentage of the daily photosynthetic C fixation. All C metabolites measured (not only starch and sugars but also organic acids and amino acids) show a diurnal turnover that often increased under water deficit, suggesting that these metabolites are readily available for being metabolized in situ or exported to roots. On the basis of 30 enzyme activities, no in-depth reprogramming of C metabolism was observed. Water deficit induces a shift of the expression level of a set of sugar-responsive genes that is indicative of increased, rather than decreased, C availability. These results converge to show that the differential impact of soil water deficit on photosynthesis and rosette expansion results in an increased availability of C for the roots, an increased turnover of C metabolites, and a low-cost C-based osmotic adjustment, and these responses are performed without major reformatting of the primary metabolism machinery.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.110.157008","authors":["Irène Hummel","Florent Pantin","Ronan Sulpice","Maria Piques","Gaëlle Rolland","Myriam Dauzat","Angélique Christophe","Marjorie Pervent","Marie Bouteillé","Mark Stitt","Yves Gibon","Bertrand Muller"],"tags":["Photosynthesis","Metabolism","Sugar","Carbon fixation","Arabidopsis thaliana"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2010-07-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.110.157008","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.012Z"},{"id":"oa:W2071494991","name":"Chemical Synthesis of Carbon Materials With Intriguing Nanostructure and Morphology","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract In the past decades, carbon materials retain great development because of their indispensable applications in energy storage and conversion, adsorption, catalysis, and others.

However, vaterite is difficult to produce at the sizes and production volumes required for these applications. In this study, we investigated the effects of sucrose additions to seawater in an indirect carbonation process to increase CO2 storage, generate vaterite, and reduce CaCO3 particle size. In addition, sucrose was added before and after Ca elution and the CO2 storage, vaterite content, and CaCO3 particle size results were compared. By adding sucrose to seawater, the CO2 storage capability was doubled, the vaterite content increased by 34%, and the CaCO3 particle size decreased by 41% compared to results using seawater alone. When the molar ratio of sucrose to Ca in the Ca eluate was 1:2, the vaterite content was at its highest and the particle size was the smallest. At this ratio, the supersaturation of the Ca eluate was maximized due to the high Ca concentration and pH. Adding sucrose before Ca elution had many advantages compared to adding sucrose after Ca elution: the vaterite content increased, the particle size decreased, and most significantly, CO2 storage and CaCO3 production doubled and the addition of NaOH for carbonation was unnecessary. Because seawater and sucrose used in this study are non-toxic and inexpensive, the economical mass production of small-sized pure vaterite using this technology is feasible.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2022.101894","authors":["Geunyoung Kim","Sehun Kim","Myoung‐Jin Kim"],"tags":["Vaterite","Carbonation","Sucrose","Chemistry","Particle size"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-01-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2022.101894","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.012Z"},{"id":"oa:W2997320125","name":"Stakeholders management of carbon sequestration project in the state – business – society system","source":"openalex","abstract":"Prevention of catastrophic effects of climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of this century.

Sequestration projects involve government bodies, public, industrial and scientific sectors, as well as a number of other business structures. Each participant presents his own expectations for results of the project, which can compete among themselves, creating threats to its successful implementation. World experience in implementing CCS projects indicates that opposition from a certain group of stakeholders can lead to closure of a project, therefore, interaction with environment is one of the key elements in managing such projects.This study focuses on specifics of stakeholder management in implementation of CO2 sequestration projects. Based on the analysis of world experience, role of the state, business and society in such projects is determined, their main expectations and interests are summarized. The main groups of stakeholders of CCS and CCUS (carbon capture, utilization and storage) projects were identified, differences in their interests and incentives to participate were analyzed. It is proved that system of interaction with stakeholders should be created at the early stages of the project, while management of stakeholders is a continuous process throughout the life cycle.

India is a major developing economy and the economic growth is driven by ever-increasing consumption of energy. Coal is the only fossil fuel that is available in abundance in India and contributes to the major share of the total primary energy supply (TPES) in the country. Owing to the large unmet demand for affordable energy, primarily driven by the need for infrastructure development and increasing incomes and aspirations of people, as well as the energy security concerns, India is expected to have continued dependence on coal. Coal is not only the backbone of the electric power generation, but many major industries like cement, iron and steel, bricks, fertilizers also consume large quantities of coal. India has very low carbon emissions (∼ 1.5 tCO 2 per capita) as compared to the world average (4.7 tCO 2 per capita) and the developed world (11.2 tCO 2 per capita). Although the aggregate emissions of the country are increasing with the rising population and fossil energy use, India has a very little contribution to the historical GHG accumulation in the atmosphere linked to the climate change problem. However, a large fraction of the Indian society is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change – due to its geographical location, large dependence on monsoon-based agriculture and limited technical, financial and institutional capacity. Today, India holds a large potential to offer cost-effective carbon mitigation to tackle the climate change problem. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the process of extraction of Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) from industrial and energy related sources, transport to storage locations and long-term isolation from the atmosphere. It is a technology that has been developed in recent times and is considered as a bridging technology as we move towards carbon-neutral energy sources in response to the growing concerns about climate change problem. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is being considered as a promising carbon mitigation technology, especially for large point sources such as coal power plants. Gasification of coal helps in better utilization of this resource offering multiple advantages such as pollution prevention, product flexibility (syngas and hydrogen) and higher efficiency (combined cycle). It also enables the capture of CO2 prior to the combustion, from the fuel gas mixture, at relatively lesser cost as compared to the post-combustion CO 2 capture. CCS in gasification projects is considered as a promising technology for cost-effective carbon mitigation. Although many projects (power and non-power) have been announced internationally, very few large-scale projects have actually come up. This paper looks at the various aspects of CCS applications in gasification projects, including the technical feasibility and economic viability and discusses an Indian perspective. Impacts of including CCS in gasification projects (e.g. IGCC plants) have been assessed using a simulation tool. Integrated Environmental Control Model (IECM) – a modelling framework to simulate power plants – has been used to estimate the implications of adding CCS units in IGCC plants, on their performance and costs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/76/1/012011","authors":["Anand B.

Compared to a reference system without capture, results show that the largest direct CO2 emission reductions are achieved with CCS without utilisation (−70%) but at the expenses of higher total costs (+7%). Multi-product CCU systems show lower fossil depletion and costs than the reference without capture (−10% and −9%, respectively) because of feedstock replacement by the CO2 utilised. Combination of multi-product CCU with storage turns to be the best alternative for reduced climate change potential (−18% relative to the reference) while still been economically feasible. In addition to lower upstream emissions due to fossil feedstock replacement by utilising CO2, process direct emissions diminish owing to storage. No significant differences were found between the cascade and the parallel configurations. The extra effort to recycle CO2 in the cascade configurations is neither penalised nor rewarded.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2017.11.008","authors":["Cora Fernández-Dacosta","V.

The energy efficiency is governed by the thermodynamic properties of the oxygen carrier material, and how well the CLAS process can be heat-integrated with the process consuming oxygen. In this study, key thermodynamic properties have been identified and assessed using a steady state model of a CLAS-oxy-fuel power plant. It is demonstrated that energy penalties as low as 1.5 percentage points can be obtained for a narrow range of material properties.

High-resolution mapping of tropical forest carbon stocks can assist forest management and improve implementation of large-scale carbon retention and enhancement programs. Previous high-resolution approaches have relied on field plot and/or light detection and ranging (LiDAR) samples of aboveground carbon density, which are typically upscaled to larger geographic areas using stratification maps. Such efforts often rely on detailed vegetation maps to stratify the region for sampling, but existing tropical forest maps are often too coarse and field plots too sparse for high-resolution carbon assessments. We developed a top-down approach for high-resolution carbon mapping in a 16.5 million ha region (> 40%) of the Colombian Amazon – a remote landscape seldom documented. We report on three advances for large-scale carbon mapping: (i) employing a universal approach to airborne LiDAR-calibration with limited field data; (ii) quantifying environmental controls over carbon densities; and (iii) developing stratification- and regression-based approaches for scaling up to regions outside of LiDAR coverage. We found that carbon stocks are predicted by a combination of satellite-derived elevation, fractional canopy cover and terrain ruggedness, allowing upscaling of the LiDAR samples to the full 16.5 million ha region. LiDAR-derived carbon maps have 14% uncertainty at 1 ha resolution, and the regional map based on stratification has 28% uncertainty in any given hectare. High-resolution approaches with quantifiable pixel-scale uncertainties will provide the most confidence for monitoring changes in tropical forest carbon stocks. Improved confidence will allow resource managers and decision makers to more rapidly and effectively implement actions that better conserve and utilize forests in tropical regions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-9-2683-2012","authors":["Gregory P.

Achieving the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to well below 2 °C ideally 1.5 °C requires rapid and substantial global emission reductions. While recent decades have seen advances in clean energy technologies, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) remain essential for deep decarbonization. Despite proven technical readiness, large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment has lagged initial targets. This review evaluates CCS technologies and their contributions to net-zero objectives, with emphasis on sector-specific applications. We found that, in the iron and steel industry, post-combustion CCS and oxy-combustion demonstrate potential to achieve the highest CO₂ capture efficiencies, whereas cement decarbonization is best supported by oxy-fuel combustion, calcium looping, and emerging direct capture methods. For petrochemical and refining operations, oxy-combustion, post-combustion, and chemical looping offer effective process integration and energy efficiency gains. Direct air capture (DAC) stands out for its siting flexibility, low land-use conflict, and ability to remove atmospheric CO₂, but it’s hindered by high costs (~$100–$1,000 /t CO₂). Conversely, post-combustion capture is more cost-effective (~$47–$76 /t CO₂) and compatible with existing infrastructure. CCUS could deliver ~8% of required emission reductions for net-zero by 2050, equivalent to ~6 Gt CO₂ annually. Scaling deployment will require overcoming challenges through material innovations aided by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, improving capture efficiency, integrating CCS with renewable hybrid systems, and establishing strong, coordinated policy frameworks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202508.1025.v1","authors":["Ife Elegbeleye","Olusegun Aanuoluwapo Oguntona","Femi Abiodun Elegbeleye"],"tags":["Carbon footprint","Carbon fibers","Zero (linguistics)","Footprint","Computer science"],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202508.1025.v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"oa:W4381951433","name":"Carbon dioxide pipelines: A statistical analysis of historical accidents","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jlp.2023.105129","authors":["Dongmin Xi","Hongfang Lü","Fu Yun","Shaohua Dong","Xinmeng Jiang","John C.

Mine waste was utilized in a brick-making process as supplementary cementitious material and as an agent for CO2 capture and storage in bricks. Carbonation curing was incorporated in brick fabrication to estimate CO2 uptake of the brick product. Results indicated that the mine wastes were composed of silicate minerals essential for mineral carbonation such as muscovite and illite (major) and chlorite-serpentine, aerinite, albite and stilpnomelane (moderate/minor phases). The mine wastes were identified as belonging to the highly pozzolanic category, which has a great role in improving the strength properties of brick products. Carbonated minerals served as an additional binder that increased the strength of the product. CO2 uptake of the product was between 0.24% and 0.57% for bricks containing 40–60% of gold mine waste, corresponding to 7.2–17.1 g CO2/brick.

Developing economically and technologically viable pathways for hydrogen production while eliminating CO 2 emissions becomes paramount. In this critical review, we examine the common grey hydrogen production techniques by analyzing their technical characteristics, production efficiency and costs.

A CCS reference chain in which 90% of the CO2 emissions (or 0,694 MtCO2/y) are stored in a saline aquifer is first studied. Due to emissions related to energy usage in the capture, conditioning and transport processes, a total of 0,504 MtCO2/y are avoided, or 65% of the CO2 emitted by the cement plant at a cost of 114 €/t CO2 avoided. Then, production of ethanol, polyols or food-grade CO2 is integrated to the chain, composing three alternative CCUS chains. These products are chosen based on an assessment of market, energy demand, and technology readiness level of technologies. For CCUS, we show that the economic feasibility is case dependent. The cost of producing blue ethanol is estimated as 656 €/t, slightly above the market value of 633 €/t. The cost per tonne of CO2 avoided drops from 114€ (CCS) to 111€ (sugarcane-based displacement) and the amount of CO2 avoided increases by 3%, to 0,518 MtCO2/y. In the second CCUS scenario, we have evaluated the integrated production of polyols. The entire CCUS chain avoids 0,708 MtCO2/y, and produces 288 kt/y of polyols, generating a profit of 18 €/t CO2 avoided. In the third CCUS scenario, we show that the production of food-grade CO2 is feasible as long as it is used to replace fossil-derived CO2, with a total CO2 avoidance of 0,504 MtCO2/y at a cost of 108 €/t. A general conclusion from this work is that the average cement plant emits much more CO2 than can be utilized in a single CO2 utilization plant. That is either due to market constrains or limited availability of raw materials. For the routes evaluated in this work, the fraction of the emitted CO2 directed to the utilization plant was always below 10%. Therefore, when connected to the cement industry, utilization is not likely to be applied as a stand-alone solution, but as an integrated link in the CCUS chain.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2022.102015","authors":["Juliana Garcia Moretz‐Sohn Monteiro","Simon Roussanaly"],"tags":["Profit (economics)","Environmental science","Production (economics)","Tonne","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-04-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2022.102015","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.012Z"},{"id":"oa:W1876408832","name":"Natural variability and anthropogenic trends in oceanic oxygen in a coupled carbon cycle–climate model ensemble","source":"openalex","abstract":"Internal and externally forced variability in oceanic oxygen (O2) are investigated on different spatiotemporal scales using a six‐member ensemble from the National Center for Atmospheric Research CSM1.4‐carbon coupled climate model. The oceanic O2 inventory is projected to decrease significantly in global warming simulations of the 20th and 21st centuries. The anthropogenically forced O2 decrease is partly compensated by volcanic eruptions, which cause considerable interannual to decadal variability. Volcanic perturbations in oceanic oxygen concentrations gradually penetrate the ocean's top 500 m and persist for several years. While well identified on global scales, the detection and attribution of local O2 changes to volcanic forcing is difficult because of unforced variability. Internal climate modes can substantially contribute to surface and subsurface O2 variability. Variability in the North Atlantic and North Pacific are associated with changes in the North Atlantic Oscillation and Pacific Decadal Oscillation indexes. Simulated decadal variability compares well with observed O2 changes in the North Atlantic, suggesting that the model captures key mechanisms of late 20th century O2 variability, but the model appears to underestimate variability in the North Pacific. Our results suggest that large interannual to decadal variations and limited data availability make the detection of human‐induced O2 changes currently challenging.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2008gb003316","authors":["Thomas L.

Organic fertilizer co-applications significantly further increased SOC. Biochar from plant material showed higher C sequestration potential than biochar from fecal matter, due to higher C/N ratio.

Sensitivity analyses were performed by varying the gasifier temperature from 750 °C to 950 °C and testing three kinds of rice husk as feedstock: As harvested, naturally dried, or torrefied. The proposed system produced 7.5 % higher efficiency than the conventional air gasification. Moreover, the system exhausted 302 g-CO 2 /kWh lower emission and in the form of high purity of CO 2 stream that is favorable for sequestration process. The recycled CO 2 from the gas turbine acted as an effective heat source for the gasifier as well as gasifying agent.

The utilization of high quality feedstock, i.e. low moisture content and low O/C ratio, was favorable for optimizing the effect of CO 2 -recycling on the system efficiency. Under the examined conditions, the optimum conditions for gaining the highest system efficiency, 39.4%, were a gasifier temperature of 850 °C with CO 2 recycling ratio of 0.87 and the torrefied feedstock.

Solar energy has become a clean and cost-competitive alternative to traditional fossil fuels, but the intermittent nature of sunlight results in challenges associated with energy storage and transport. Photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction intends to mimic natural photosynthesis for utilizing sunlight to chemically convert water and CO 2 into fuels. In this process, the solar energy is captured and stored in fuels, so-called solar fuels, for widespread on-demand use. Heterogeneous solar fuel production systems are multi-component, comprising light-harvesting (photosensitizer) and catalytic (cocatalyst) units. Cocatalysts are indispensable for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction systems, which promote charge carrier separation and transport, reduce the reaction activation energy, and alter the reaction route, thereby enhancing the activity and selectivity of the photocatalytic reactions. This review presents a comprehensive summary of the recent advancements in cocatalysts for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR), with the purpose of providing new insights and guidance to the field with regard to research directions and best practices. We summarize how various cocatalysts including inorganic nanoparticles, metal complexes, enzymes, and bacteria can be combined with semiconductor photosensitizer for light-driven photocatalytic CO 2 RR. Side-by-side comparisons reveal the strengths and limitations of each kind of cocatalysts and how lessons extracted from studying natural photosynthetic systems can be applied to investigations of artificial photosynthesis, presenting an outlook discussing possible future concepts for a more effective photocatalytic CO 2 reduction process.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12274-022-4705-8","authors":["Qian Wang","Zhenhua Pan"],"tags":["Artificial photosynthesis","Photocatalysis","Solar fuel","Solar energy","Fossil fuel"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-08-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12274-022-4705-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.012Z"},{"id":"oa:W2945318087","name":"Managing Agroecosystems for Soil Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency: Ecological Unknowns, Potential Outcomes, and a Path Forward","source":"openalex","abstract":"Agricultural systems are increasingly managed for improving soil carbon (C) accumulation. However, there are limits to C returns in agricultural systems that constrain soil C accumulation capacity. Increasing the efficiency of how soil microbes process C is gaining interest as an important management strategy for increasing soil C and is a key feature of soil C dynamics in many new microbial-explicit models. A higher microbial C use efficiency (CUE) may increase C storage while reducing C system losses and is a fundamental trait affecting community assembly dynamics and nutrient cycling. However, the numerous ecological unknowns influencing CUE limit our ability to effectively manage CUE in agricultural soils for greater soil C storage. In this perspective, we consider three complex drivers of agroecosystem CUE that need to be resolved to develop effective C sequestration management practices in the future: (1) the environment as an individual trait moderator versus a filter, (2) microbial community competitive and faciliatory interactions, and (3) spatiotemporal dynamics through the soil profile and across the microbial lifecycle. We highlight ways that amendments, crop rotations, and tillage practices might affect microbial CUE conditions and the variable outcomes of these practices. We argue that to resolve some of the unknowns of CUE dynamics, we need to include more mechanistic, trait-based approaches that capitalize on advanced methods and innovative field research designs within an agroecosystem-specific context. By identifying the management-level determinants of CUE expression, we will be better positioned to optimize CUE to increase soil C storage in agricultural systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2019.01146","authors":["Cynthia M.

Here we examine the global N-fertilizer supply chain and analyse context-specific trade-offs of low-carbon ammonia production pathways. Carbon capture and storage can reduce overall emissions by up to 70%, but still relies on natural gas. Electrolytic and biochemical processes minimize emissions but are 2–3 times more expensive and require 100–300 times more land and water than the business-as-usual production. Decentralized production has the potential to reduce transportation costs, emissions, reliance on imports and price volatility, increasing agricultural productivity in the global south, but requires policy support. Interdisciplinary approaches are essential to understand these trade-offs and find resilient ways to feed a growing population while minimizing climate impacts. Achieving sustainable agriculture requires a comprehensive understanding of nitrogen fertilizer production, particularly ammonia.

It is found that pressure and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area are the two strongest predictors of excess hydrogen uptake. Surprisingly, this is followed by a positive correlation with oxygen content, contributing up to ∼0.6 wt% additional hydrogen uptake, contradicting the conclusions of previous studies. Finally, pore volume has the smallest effect. The pore size distribution is also found to be important, since ultramicropores (dp < 0.7 nm) are found to be more positively correlated with excess uptake than micropores (dp < 2 nm). However, this effect is quite small compared to the role of BET surface area and total pore volume. The novel approach taken here can provide important insights in the rational design of carbon materials for hydrogen storage applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbon.2021.04.036","authors":["Muhammad Irfan Maulana Kusdhany","Stephen Matthew Lyth"],"tags":["Hydrogen","Carbon fibers","BET theory","Porosity","Volume (thermodynamics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbon.2021.04.036","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.012Z"},{"id":"oa:W3182733802","name":"CARBON CAPTURE AND UTILIZATION","source":"openalex","abstract":"As the world moves towards clean energy initiative, carbon capture and utilization technologies are key to achieving net zero emissions.

Direct air capture is one of the potential methods for carbon dioxide removal and has gained significant attention despite being a relatively new technology. While some scenarios can meet Paris targets without relying on direct air capture, other models show the need for up to 38 gigatons/yr of removal by this technology. Such wide variation in projections reflects uncertainty over the feasibility of deploying direct air capture at scale and points the need for greater attention to the model assumptions driving this variation. This study provides a comprehensive review of scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report and peer-reviewed studies focusing on direct air capture as a mitigation strategy. The review identifies several key factors contributing to uncertainty in direct air capture projections, including prolonged fossil fuel use, diversity of carbon removal methods, future socio-economic conditions, intergenerational assumptions, deployment limitations, and technology costs. The study recommends conducting multi-model assessments of direct air capture scenarios due to the influence of various assumptions and model structures on projections. The authors also suggest including different variants of direct air capture technology and both carbon utilization and storage pathways in future models, as these factors can impact system demands, economic efficiency, and public acceptability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2023.121485","authors":["Kasra Motlaghzadeh","Vanessa Schweizer","Neil Craik","Juan Moreno‐Cruz"],"tags":["Software deployment","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Climate change mitigation","Climate change","Fossil fuel"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2023.121485","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.012Z"},{"id":"oa:W2032223370","name":"CO2 Capture and Utilization in Cement and Iron and Steel Industries","source":"openalex","abstract":"This paper evaluates different technological options for the reduction of CO2 emissions in heavy industries through their capture and use of best available technologies.

Moreover, we identify the direct and indirect carbon emissions of wastewater treatment. In addition to direct emissions of CH4 and N2O, direct fossil CO2 emissions from wastewater treatment should be included in accounting to set accurate guidelines. Next, the technologies that assist in achieving carbon-neutral wastewater treatment both within-the-fence of wastewater treatment plants and beyond the plant boundary are summarized. All measurements of energy recovery, resource recovery, and water reuse contribute to reaching this goal. The concepts of energy neutrality and carbon neutrality are identified. Successful wastewater treatment cases in energy self-sufficiency may not achieve carbon neutrality. Meanwhile, resource recovery methods are encouraged, especially to produce carbon-based materials. Ultimately, the trend of preference for the decentralized sewage treatment system is pinpointed, and systematic thinking to set the urban infrastructure layout as a whole is advocated.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ese.2022.100180","authors":["Lanqing Li","Xiuheng Wang","Jingyu Miao","Aliya Abulimiti","Xinsheng Jing","Nanqi Ren"],"tags":["Carbon neutrality","Sewage treatment","Wastewater","Reuse","Neutrality"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-04-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ese.2022.100180","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.012Z"},{"id":"oa:W4226133462","name":"Modelling plant-level abatement costs and effects of incentive policies for coal-fired power generation retrofitted with CCUS","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2022.112959","authors":["Jing‐Li Fan","Zezheng Li","Kai Li","Xian Zhang"],"tags":["Cost of electricity by source","Subsidy","Retrofitting","Incentive","Environmental economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-04-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2022.112959","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.012Z"},{"id":"oa:W3200965659","name":"Carbon Capture and Storage in Geothermal Development","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-819727-1.00108-4","authors":["Sandra Ó.

We developed an integrated modeling approach to assess the spatiotemporal impacts of land use/cover change (LUCC) on the provision and value of the carbon storage and sequestration during the historical period (2000–2019) and predicted scenarios (2019–2046) in the Jiroft plain, Iran. We integrated several analytic tools for our analysis, which was comprised of Google Earth Engine (GEE), Cellular Automata Markov Chain (CA-MC) model, Intensity Analysis (IAA), and the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model. Our results demonstrate that: (1) agriculture and urban expansion led to a considerable decrease in carbon storage, mainly due to rapid deforestation from 2000–2019; (2) if the historical trend continues under the business as usual (BAU) scenario, it will lead to considerable social costs due to the loss of stored carbon in the plain (2,624,113 Mg) with an annual average sequestration loss of −475,547 Mg; (3) the downward carbon sequestration trend could potentially be reversed by employing the environmentally sound planning (ESP) scenario that is estimated to save 3,705,491 Mg in carbon storage, with annual average sequestration gain of + 605,830 Mg. The design scenarios provide a useful guide for policymakers and local governments to help understand the potential outcomes of the various development strategies, which will ultimately lead to more effective ecosystem management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13762-021-03676-6","authors":["Fatemeh Adelisardou","Wenwu Zhao","Reynold Chow","Peter Mederly","Tatiana Minkina","Jesper Sølver Schou"],"tags":["Arid","Ecosystem","Carbon sequestration","Earth science","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-10-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13762-021-03676-6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.012Z"},{"id":"oa:W3206247747","name":"Power-to-Gas and Power-to-X—The History and Results of Developing a New Storage Concept","source":"openalex","abstract":"Germany’s energy transition, known as ‘Energiewende’, was always very progressive.

In response to increasing demand for better structures and foundations, the concrete industry now relies on heating furnaces to over 1400 °C by burning fossil fuels and other cementitious materials, accounting for about 7–8% of carbon emissions. Even though the timeframe set by the Paris Agreement by United Nations (UN) to radically limit carbon emissions and improve carbon recovery is relatively short, i.e., countries reduce their Greenhouse Gas emissions to 'net zero' by around 2050, it still exceeds the time it has left to avoid the worst effects of global warming. Empirical evidence suggests that the management of carbon in the Earth’s ecosystems is still in the hands of humans and that effective strategies can be employed to restore carbon stocks and achieve net-zero emissions. This paper considers carbon emissions and recoverable carbon from a global perspective to identify the sources of CO 2 emissions, the status of CO 2 recovery strategies and implementation, and practical strategies to improve CO 2 recovery in Portland cement production. A literature review shows that several decarbonization pathways have been adopted to manage CO 2 recovery, namely alternative materials, fossil fuel substitution, and carbon capture and storage (CCS). However, no carbon recovery pathway sufficient to achieve net-zero emissions has been identified. Therefore, a comprehensive study of the Portland cement industry and CO 2 recoverability is needed to fully quantify carbon emissions and establish optimum strategies in terms of sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and business climate supported by strong political policies and associated regulations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cscm.2022.e01439","authors":["Mugahed Amran","Natt Makul","Роман Федюк","Yeong Huei Lee","Nikolai Vatin","Yee Yong Lee","Kachalla Mohammed"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Global warming","Fossil fuel","Environmental science","Natural resource economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-08-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cscm.2022.e01439","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.012Z"},{"id":"oa:W4399258565","name":"CO2 capture utilizing Li4SiO4 from spent lithium-ion batteries and iron tailings offers eco-friendly benefits","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2024.152756","authors":["Tianqi Liao","Yinyin Qian","Menghan Yu","Aidong Tang","Huaming Yang"],"tags":["Tailings","Lithium (medication)","Environmentally friendly","Waste management","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2024.152756","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.012Z"},{"id":"oa:W4321497903","name":"Evaluation of CO2 utilization and storage potential in the Jimsar shale play from an optimization study","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoen.2023.211607","authors":["Weiyu Tang","Zesen Peng","James J.

However, coastal development and climate change are sparking a growing concern about the vulnerability of sediment organic carbon (OC) to remineralization after macrophyte perturbation. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the potential of long-term remineralization of sediment OC stocks (1 year) in coastal vegetated habitats (i.e., seagrasses Zostera noltei and Cymodocea nodosa, macroalgae Caulerpa prolifera and unvegetated sediment) after complete disturbance of macrophyte meadows under conducive conditions to microorganisms growth (i.e., oxygen saturated, non-nutrient limitation, turbulence and dark). Leached dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from particulate organic carbon (POC) remineralization, carbonate dissolution and photo-reactivity of long-term persistent DOC were also evaluated. Our results evidenced that, sediment OC from Z. noltei and unvegetated habitats were entirely remineralized to CO2. However, sediment OC from C. nodosa and C. prolifera communities exhibited a significant fraction of recalcitrant OC, and therefore, a 42 and 46% of the sediment OC still remained after 1 year of culture, respectively. POC remineralization released relevant amounts of both labile and recalcitrant DOC, which showed low photo-reactivity. Finally, we discuss that the main argument to promote management, monitoring, and restoration programs for macrophytes is usually based on their sediment OC deposit, which favor larger species. The study presented here adds arguments to also include small macrophyte species, since their sediment OC may be highly labile and entirely remineralized to CO2 once these habitats are disturbed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2024.1370768","authors":["Alba Yamuza‐Magdaleno","Rocío Jiménez‐Ramos","Isabel Casal‐Porras","Fernando G.

This report explores comprehensive strategies to decarbonize the sector, emphasizing the integration of innovative technologies, sustainable practices, and robust policy frameworks. Recent Findings Key technological solutions include carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS); electrification of heat; adoption of alternative fuels; and the utilization of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as calcined clays and alternative materials. Additionally, emerging advancements like 3D printing, CO₂ mineralization, and biobased materials promise to revolutionize construction methods while reducing emissions. Policy interventions such as carbon pricing, cap-and-trade systems, research grants, tax incentives, and regulatory standards play a pivotal role in enabling this transition. Demand-side measures, including sustainable construction practices, recycling, and green procurement policies, further drive industry-wide adoption of low-carbon solutions. Summary Through a systems-thinking approach, this paper advocates for reducing material intensity across all stages of production and design, leveraging circular economy principles, and fostering resilient, low-carbon construction.

In the United States (US), biomass policy has focused on biofuels. However, this paper will investigate three options for biopower: low co-firing (co-firing scenarios refer to combusting a given percentage of biomass with coal) (5%–10% biomass), medium co-firing (15%–20% biomass), and dedicated biomass firing (100% biomass). We analyze the economic and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions impact of each of these options, with and without CO2 capture and storage (CCS). Our analysis shows that in the absence of land use change emissions, all biomass co-combustion scenarios result in a decrease in GHG emissions over coal generation alone. The two biggest barriers to biopower are concerns about carbon neutrality of biomass fuels and the high cost compared to today’s electricity prices. This paper recommends two policy actions. First, the need to define sustainability criteria and initiate a certification process so that biomass providers have a fixed set of guidelines to determine whether their feedstocks qualify as renewable energy sources. Second, the need for a consistent, predictable policy that provides the economic incentives to make biopower economically attractive.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en8031701","authors":["Amanda Cuéllar","Howard J.

These include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the State of California, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), among many. In this paper, a brief overview is provided of the literature on GHG lifecycle analyses (LCA) applied to CO 2 storage in association with CO 2 -EOR. Then, various techniques for performing LCA related to CO 2 -EOR operations are summarized. Moreover, since most past LCA analyses of CO 2 -EOR projects were generally based on historical CO 2 -EOR operations, LCA based on assumptions from these operations are likely not to represent future emissions reduction opportunities where CO 2 storage is a co-objective with increased oil production. Thus, the paper examines different CO 2 -EOR development options that could greatly increase the amount of CO 2 injected, and ultimately stored, to recover incremental oil via the application of CO 2 -EOR, and speculates on how even greater storage efficiencies with CO 2 -EOR can be realized. Assuming historically-based values for CO 2 utilization, most life cycle analyses of CO 2 storage in association with CO 2 -EOR show that the emissions associated with producing, processing, transporting and/or utilizing the incremental oil produced are greater than the CO 2 injected and stored in association with CO 2 -EOR. However, current CO 2 -EOR operations are achieving much higher utilization values, and assuming the wide-scale application of “next generation” technologies applied to existing and potential new resource targets, even larger utilization values are realizable. Recent work by Advanced Resources, for example, shows that “next generation” CO 2 -EOR applied to the main pay zone (MPZ) of oil reservoirs uses, on average , about 0.45 metric tons per barrel of oil produced, while CO 2 -EOR applied to the residual oil zone (ROZ) underlying and in between existing oil fields uses, on average , about 0.50 metric tons per barrel of oil produced. Many projects are likely to achieve even higher values of CO 2 utilization for CO 2 -EOR. These utilization values are over double that assumed in most traditional LCA analyses applied to CO 2 -EOR operations. And even greater utilization values are realizable. For comparison, emissions associated with the production, transport, refining, and ultimate combustion of the incremental oil produced are estimated to be on the order of 0,42 to 0.43 metric tons per barrel. Given these values for CO 2 utilization with CO 2 -EOR, accounting for emissions associated with CO 2 -EOR operations, with activities downstream of CO 2 -EOR operations (i.e., crude oil transport and refining), and even accounting for the combustion of fuels created from the barrel of crude, the amount of CO 2 injected and stored in the reservoir during CO 2 -EOR can generally be greater than that associated with the emissions associated with the incremental oil produced. Going forward, it will be important that legal and regulatory frameworks for verifying and accounting for GHG emissions reductions acknowledge the importance of CO 2 storage with CO 2 -EOR in achieving GHG emissions goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2017.03.1795","authors":["Michael Godec","Steven M.

For CCS to be effective, it must be deployed globally on both existing and emerging energy systems. For nations with large-scale emissions, offshore geologic CO 2 storage provides an attractive and efficient long-term strategy. While some nations are already developing CCS projects using offshore CO 2 storage resources, most geographic regions have yet to begin. This paper demonstrates the geologic significance of global continental margins for providing broadly-equitable, geographically-relevant, and high-quality CO 2 storage resources. We then use principles of pore-space utilization and subsurface pressure constraints together with analogs of historic industry well deployment rates to demonstrate how the required storage capacity can be developed as a function of time and technical maturity to enable the global deployment of offshore storage for facilitating 2DS. Our analysis indicates that 10–14 thousand CO 2 injection wells will be needed globally by 2050 to achieve this goal.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-54363-z","authors":["Philip Ringrose","T.

In this paper we describe potential impacts to groundwater quality due to CO 2 and brine leakage, discuss an approach to calculate thresholds under which “no impact” to groundwater occurs, describe the time scale for impact on groundwater, and discuss the probability of detecting a groundwater plume should leakage occur. To facilitate this, multi-phase flow and reactive transport simulations and reduced-order models were developed for two classes of aquifers, considering uncertainty in leakage source terms and aquifer hydrogeology. We targeted an unconfined fractured carbonate aquifer based on the Edwards Aquifer in Texas and a confined alluvium aquifer based on the High Plains Aquifer in Kansas, which share characteristics typical of many drinking water aquifers in the United States. The hypothetical leakage scenarios centered on the notion that wellbores are the most likely conduits for brine and CO 2 leaks. Leakage uncertainty was based on hypothetical injection of CO 2 for 50 years at a rate of 5 million tons per year into a depleted oil/gas reservoir with high permeability and, one or more wells provided leakage pathways from the storage reservoir to the overlying aquifer. This scenario corresponds to a storage site with historical oil/gas production and some poorly completed legacy wells that went undetected through site evaluation, operations, and post-closure. For the aquifer systems and leakage scenarios studied here, CO 2 and brine leakage are likely to drive pH below and increase total dissolved solids (TDS) above the “no-impact thresholds”; and the subsequent plumes, although small, are likely to persist for long periods of time in the absence of remediation. In these scenarios, however, risk to human health may not be significant for two reasons. First, our simulated plume volumes are much smaller than the average inter-well spacing (1–2.6 wells/km 2 ) for these representative aquifers, so the impacted groundwater would be unlikely to be pumped for drinking water. Second, even within the impacted plume volumes little water exceeds the primary maximum contamination levels. These observations point to: • The potential utility of uncertainty quantification methods to evaluate the risk of leakage and inform monitoring and corrective action plans of a potential site for long-term CO 2 storage by capturing storage reservoir, leakage pathway, and aquifer heterogeneity. • The importance of establishing baseline groundwater chemistry that captures the pre-injection variability of underground sources of drinking water (USDW) above the reservoir because the EPA has adopted a “no net degradation” policy toward the protection of groundwater resources. • The need to test and develop spatially diverse monitoring techniques capable of detecting leakage early to employ effective mitigation strategies, and more importantly to add confidence to assessments used to evaluate the length of the post-injection site care. In our study, the probability of detecting plumes using existing wells to sample the groundwater chemistry was very low, because the plumes were relatively small in both aquifers. • The need to develop methodologies that prevent and/or directly detect leakage prior to reaching USDWs, because our simulations predict that even small amounts of CO 2 and brine, when left unmitigated, can change USDW pH and TDS concentrations for long periods of time.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2014.07.007","authors":["Susan Carroll","Elizabeth Keating","Kayyum Mansoor","Zhenxue Dai","Yunwei Sun","Whitney Trainor‐Guitton","C.

The current study explores the role of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as a mitigation option, which provides a dispatchable source for carbon-free production of electricity and can also be used to decarbonise industrial processes.

By developing contrasted decarbonisation scenarios, the analysis illustrates that CCS deployment might bring about various economic and climate benefits for developing economies, in the form of reduced emissions, lower mitigation costs, ensuring the cost efficient integration of renewables, limiting stranded fossil fuel assets, and alleviating the negative distributional impacts of cost-optimal policies for developing economies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en14071879","authors":["Panagiotis Fragkos"],"tags":["Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Software deployment","Renewable energy","Climate change mitigation","Environmental economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-03-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en14071879","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W2071473730","name":"Carbon lock-in through capital stock inertia associated with weak near-term climate policies","source":"openalex","abstract":"Stringent long-term climate targets necessitate a limit on cumulative emissions in this century for which sufficient policy signals are lacking. Using nine energy-economy models, we explore how policies pursued during the next two decades impact long-term transformation pathways towards stringent long-term climate targets. Less stringent near-term policies (i.e., those with larger emissions) consume more of the long-term cumulative emissions budget in the 2010–2030 period, which increases the likelihood of overshooting the budget and the urgency of reducing GHG emissions after 2030. Furthermore, the larger near-term GHG emissions associated with less stringent policies are generated primarily by additional coal-based electricity generation. Therefore, to be successful in meeting the long-term target despite near-term emissions reductions that are weaker than those implied by cost-optimal mitigation pathways, models must prematurely retire significant coal capacity while rapidly ramping up low-carbon technologies between 2030 and 2050 and remove large quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere in the latter half of the century. While increased energy efficiency lowers mitigation costs considerably, even with weak near-term policies, it does not substantially reduce the short-term reliance on coal electricity. However, increased energy efficiency does allow the energy system more flexibility in mitigating emissions and, thus, facilitates the post-2030 transition.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.techfore.2013.10.001","authors":["Christoph Bertram","Nils Johnson","Gunnar Luderer","Keywan Riahi","Morna Isaac","Jiyong Eom"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Climate policy","Natural resource economics","Electricity","Term (time)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2013-11-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.techfore.2013.10.001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W3116580547","name":"Economic Valuation of Carbon Storage and Sequestration in Retezat National Park, Romania","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon storage and sequestration is one of the most important services provided by forest ecosystems, the most powerful tools for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

This study undertakes a comprehensive techno‐economic evaluation of three primary CO2 capture technologies—pre‐combustion, post‐combustion, and oxy‐fuel combustion—integrated with natural gas power plants. Utilizing Aspen HYSYS design simulation and economic assessments, the technical and economic viability of each technology were investigated, considering key metrics such as levelized cost of energy (LCOE), carbon emission intensity (CEI), cost of carbon avoidance (COA), investment costs, production costs, net present value, and rate of return. A multi‐criteria evaluation framework incorporating dimensional analysis was employed to compare the technologies, and the results revealed post‐combustion capture as the most viable option with a cost factor (CF) value of 0.85, striking an optimal balance between efficiency, costs, and environmental impact. With minimized TIC and TPC, well below the conventional processes, this study produced a unique framework for reducing costs in CCS technology deployment. Conversely, oxy‐fuel combustion has huge drawbacks regarding low profitability as it was found to have the highest total investment cost (TIC) of $8,258,483.99 and annual production cost (APC) of $9,234,870. In contrast, a higher CEI of 0.05 tCO2/MWh and COA of $150.33/tCO2 make pre‐combustion less environmentally friendly than the three technologies. The findings of this study provide critical insights to inform decision‐making in CCUS development, supporting a low‐carbon energy transition. Future research directions should focus on evaluating feasible configurations and optimizing post‐combustion capture technology for commercial‐scale deployment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ese3.2089","authors":["Donald Obi","Samuel Okechukwu Onyekuru","Anslem Orga"],"tags":["Combustion","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Process engineering","Waste management","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ese3.2089","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W3150120562","name":"CCSNet: A deep learning modeling suite for CO 2 storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.advwatres.2021.104009","authors":["Gege Wen","Catherine A.

Hydrogen may be used as an energy carrier and an alternative fuel in the industrial, residential, and transportation sectors for either heating, energy production from fuel cells, or direct fueling of vehicles. In particular, the use of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs) has the potential to virtually eliminate CO2 emissions from tailpipes and considerably reduce overall emissions from the transportation sector. Although steam methane reforming (SMR) is the dominant industrial process for hydrogen production, environmental concerns associated with CO2 emissions along with the process intensification and energy optimization are areas that still require improvement. Metallic membrane reactors (MRs) have the potential to address both challenges. MRs operate at significantly lower pressures and temperatures compared with the conventional reactors. Hence, the capital and operating expenses could be considerably lower compared with the conventional reactors. Moreover, metallic membranes, specifically Pd and its alloys, inherently allow for only hydrogen permeation, making it possible to produce a stream of up to 99.999+% purity. For smaller and emerging hydrogen markets such as the semiconductor and fuel cell industries, Pd-based membranes may be an appropriate technology based on the scales and purity requirements. In particular, at lower hydrogen production rates in small-scale plants, MRs with CCUS could be competitive compared to centralized H2 production. On-site hydrogen production would also provide a self-sufficient supply and further circumvent delivery delays as well as issues with storage safety. In addition, hydrogen-producing MRs are a potential avenue to alleviate carbon emissions. However, material availability, Pd cost, and scale-up potential on the order of 1.5 million m3/day may be limiting factors preventing wider application of Pd-based membranes. Regarding the economic production of hydrogen, the benchmark by the year 2020 has been determined and set in place by the U.S. DOE at less than $2.00 per kg of produced hydrogen. While the established SMR process can easily meet the set limit by DOE, other carbon-free processes such as water electrolysis, electron beam radiolysis, and gliding arc technologies do not presently meet this requirement. In particular, it is expected that the cost of hydrogen produced from natural gas without CCUS will remain the lowest among all of the technologies, while the hydrogen cost produced from an SMR plant with solvent-based carbon capture could be twice as expensive as the conventional SMR without carbon capture. Pd-based MRs have the potential to produce hydrogen at competitive prices with SMR plants equipped with carbon capture. Despite the significant improvements in the electrolysis technologies, the cost of hydrogen produced by electrolysis may remain significantly higher in most geographical locations compared with the hydrogen produced from fossil fuels. The cost of hydrogen via electrolysis may vary up to a factor of ten,d epending on the location and the electricity source. Nevertheless, due to its modular nature, the electrolysis process will likely play a significant role in the hydrogen economy when implemented in suitable geographical locations and powered by renewable electricity. This review provides a critical overview of the opportunities and challenges associated with the use of the MRs to produce high-purity hydrogen with low carbon emissions. Moreover, a technoeconomic review of the potential methods for hydrogen production is provided and the drawbacks and advantages of each method are presented and discussed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pecs.2020.100851","authors":["Simona Liguori","Kourosh Kian","Nora Catherine Buggy","Bryce Anzelmo","Jennifer Wilcox"],"tags":["Hydrogen production","Steam reforming","Hydrogen","Energy carrier","Hydrogen fuel"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-06-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pecs.2020.100851","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W3014612701","name":"Techno-economic optimization of power-to-methanol with co-electrolysis of CO2 and H2O in solid-oxide electrolyzers","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2020.117498","authors":["Hanfei Zhang","Umberto Desideri"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Electricity generation","Electricity","Process engineering","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-04-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2020.117498","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W4381597406","name":"Highly-Controlled Soft-Templating Synthesis of Hollow ZIF-8 Nanospheres for Selective CO 2 Separation and Storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Global warming is an ever-rising environmental concern, and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is among its major causes. Different technologies, including adsorption, cryogenic separation, and sequestration, have been developed for CO 2 separation and storage/utilization. Among these, carbon capture using nano-adsorbents has the advantages of excellent CO 2 separation and storage performance as well as superior heat- and mass-transfer characteristics due to their large surface area and pore volume. In this work, an environmentally friendly, facile, bottom-up synthesis of ZIF-8 hollow nanospheres (with reduced chemical consumption) was developed for selective CO 2 separation and storage. During this soft-templating synthesis, a combined effect of ultra-sonication and low-temperature hydrothermal synthesis showed better control over an oil-in-water microemulsion formation and the subsequent growth of large-surface-area hollow ZIF-8 nanospheres having excellent particle size distribution. Systematic studies on the synthesis parameters were also performed to achieve fine-tuning of the ZIF-8 crystallinity, hollow structures, and sphere size. The optimized hollow ZIF-8 nanosphere sample having uniform size distribution exhibited remarkable CO 2 adsorption capability (∼2.24 mmol g –1 at 0 °C and 1.75 bar), a CO 2 /N 2 separation selectivity of 12.15, a good CO 2 storage capacity (1.5–1.75 wt %), and an excellent cyclic adsorption/desorption performance (up to four CO 2 adsorption/desorption cycles) at 25 °C. In addition, the samples showed exceptional structural stability with only ∼15% of overall weight loss up to 600 °C under a nitrogen environment.

In addition to reducing CO2 emissions from anthropogenic activities, it is more urgent to actively remove CO2 from the air. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a feasible but high-cost technology to remove CO2 from the flue gases of coal-fired power plants. On the other hand, CO2 sequestration by biological approaches shows potential and has the benefit that the biomass generated from the fixed CO2 can then be utilized for other purposes. However, CO2 bio-mitigation technology is still under development because the efficiency of CO2 capture and fixation is too low to be applicable in industry. In this study, we enhanced a photobioreactor-based microalgal CO2 mitigation system by combining the chemical capture/transformation of CO2 by carbonic anhydrase (CA) with the biological fixation of captured CO2 by cyanobacteria. We genetically engineered the cyanobacteria to produce and secrete CAs in the medium. The secreted CAs efficiently transformed dissolved CO2 to HCO3−. And HCO3− was taken up by the cyanobacteria and further fixed into biomass through photosynthesis.

However, complexity and nonlinearity of the capture processes hinder the incorporation of their first-principles models into analyses and optimizations of overall carbon management strategies. Accordingly, it is desirable to have a systematic method to develop a computationally less demanding surrogate model, which can replace the rigorous CO 2 capture process model, for use in a high-level decision-making environment. For such purposes, the surrogate model should be able to provide multiple information needed to connect to subsequent processing steps under varying source stream conditions. This research addresses the development of surrogate models for CO 2 capture processes that enjoy significantly lowered complexity while preserving the key information. A surrogate model can be constructed by fitting the input–output data generated by process simulation and optimization with the rigorous model. Following the proposed method, surrogate models for the amine-based CO 2 capture processes with two representative types of amines, monoethanolamine (MEA) and piperazine (PZ), are constructed and validated. The constructed surrogate models predict the specific steam consumption rate and total equipment purchase cost based on the input information of desired capture rate and CO 2 source stream condition. The predicted information is shown to agree well with the simulation result of the rigorous first-principles model.

The development of an effective CCU process requires a comprehensive feasibility study; however, it is not obvious which options are most appropriate for this. The current study proposes to identify the most promising CCU options by applying a set of criteria developed to represent different aspects of the utilization process: CO2 specific mass in the product, CO2 utilization potential (CUP), technology readiness level (TRL), resource use, requirements for CO2 quality, and health, safety, and environment (HSE) considerations. A detailed analysis of the most promising options identified in this paper will be carried out in a later study. Since few products provide permanent storage, this study separately evaluates options which have a shorter storage time, provided that the captured CO2 could be used instead of fossil feedstock in production processes. The evaluation was carried out for a Finnish cement plant, using data in the literature to describe and analyze the utilization options. The results show that no one option stands out as fully satisfying all criteria. Inorganic carbonates may offer the most effective alternative for long-term carbon storage while the most promising options among products with a shorter storage period are urea, its downstream products, and methane. The approach used in this study can be applied to other cement plants, adapting the criteria to the source properties and using local data.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2021.103481","authors":["Mariia Zhaurova","Risto Soukka","Mika Horttanainen"],"tags":["Process (computing)","Production (economics)","Raw material","Resource (disambiguation)","Product (mathematics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-10-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2021.103481","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W2969649247","name":"A review on mechanistic understanding of MnO 2 in aqueous electrolyte for electrical energy storage systems","source":"openalex","abstract":"The demand for the large-scale storage system has gained much interest.

On the other hand, cucurbit[n]urils (Q[n]s), a relatively new class of macrocyclic hosts with a rigid hydrophobic cavity and two identical carbonyl fringed portals, have attracted much attention in supramolecular chemistry. Because of the strong charge-dipole and hydrogen bonding interactions, as well as hydrophobic and hydrophilic effect derived from the negative portals and rigid cavities of Q[n]s, nearly all research in Q[n]s has been focused on utilizing the portals and cavities to construct supramolecular assemblies similar to other macrocyclic receptors such as cyclodextrin and calixarenes. Interestingly, a recent study revealed that other weak noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding and π···π stacking, as well as C-H···π and ion-dipole interactions, could also be defined as \"outer-surface interactions\", which are derived from the electrostatically positive outer surface of Q[n]s. These interactions could be the driving forces in the formation of various novel Q[n]-based supramolecular architectures and functional materials. In this Account, we provide a comprehensive overview of supramolecular self-assemblies based on the outer-surface interactions of Q[n]s. These outer-surface interactions include those between Q[n]s, Q[n]s and aromatic molecules, Q[n]s and calixarenes, Q[n]s and inorganic complex ions, and Q[n]s and polyoxometalates. Pioneering work has shown that such weak noncovalent interactions play very important roles in the formation of various Q[n]-based functional materials and supramolecular architectures. For example, hydrogen bonds in outer-surface interactions between Q[n] molecules not only function as the sole driving force in the formation of one-dimensional Q[n] porous channels but also assist the bonding forces of the channels in capturing and accommodating acetylene molecules and carbon dioxide in the channel cavities. Moreover, upon introduction of a third species such as an aromatic molecule or inorganic anion into the Q[n]/metal system, \"outer-surface interactions\" could lead to Q[n]/metal-based self-assemblies from simple finite supramolecular coordination complexes to infinite polydimensional supramolecular architectures and other structures. Overall, this Account focuses on the novel self-assembly driving force derived from Q[n]s including (i) concepts of the outer-surface interactions of Q[n]s, (ii) providing plausible explanations of the mechanisms of the outer-surface interactions of Q[n]s, and (iii) introduction of an overview of the developments and practical applications of outer-surface interactions of Q[n]s in supramolecular chemistry. It is hoped that this study based on the outer-surface interactions of Q[n]s can enrich the field of molecular engineering of functional supramolecular systems and provide new opportunities for the construction of functional materials and architectures.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/ar5000133","authors":["Xin‐Long Ni","Xin Xiao","Hang Cong","Qian‐Jiang Zhu","Sai‐Feng Xue","Zhu Tao"],"tags":["Supramolecular chemistry","Stacking","Hydrogen bond","Non-covalent interactions","Molecule"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2014-03-27","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/ar5000133","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W3117675194","name":"Accelerated reactions of amines with carbon dioxide driven by superacid at the microdroplet interface","source":"openalex","abstract":"followed by nucleophilic attack by the amine is analogous to that previously advanced for imidazole formation from carboxylic acids and diamines.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d0sc05625a","authors":["Kai‐Hung Huang","Zhenwei Wei","R.

However, the underlying mechanisms via which P drives plant and microbial regulation of soil organic C (SOC) formation and stabilization remain unclear, hampering the accurate projection of soil C sequestration under future global change scenarios. Taking the advantage of an 8-year field experiment with increasing P addition levels in a subalpine forest on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, we explored plant C inputs, soil microbial communities, plant and microbial biomarkers, as well as SOC physical and chemical fractions. We found that continuous P addition reduced fine root biomass, but did not affect total SOC content. P addition decreased plant lignin contribution to SOC, primarily from declined vanillyl-type phenols, which was coincided with a reduction in methoxyl/N-alkyl C by 2.1%-5.5%. Despite a decline in lignin decomposition due to suppressed oxidase activity by P addition, the content of lignin-derived compounds decreased because of low C input from fine roots. In contrast, P addition increased microbial (mainly fungal) necromass and its contribution to SOC due to the slower necromass decomposition under reduced N-acquisition enzyme activity. The larger microbial necromass contribution to SOC corresponded with a 9.1%-12.4% increase in carbonyl C abundance. Moreover, P addition had no influence on the slow-cycing mineral-associated organic C pool, and SOC chemical stability indicated by aliphaticity and recalcitrance indices. Overall, P addition in the subalpine forest over 8 years influenced SOC composition through divergent alterations of plant- and microbial-derived C contributions, but did not shape SOC physical and chemical stability. Such findings may aid in accurately forecasting SOC dynamics and their potential feedbacks to climate change with future scenarios of increasing soil P availability in Earth system models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16205","authors":["Ruyi Luo","Yakov Kuzyakov","Biao Zhu","Wei Qiang","Yan Zhang","Xueyong Pang"],"tags":["Soil carbon","Lignin","Chemistry","Biomass (ecology)","Phosphorus"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-04-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16205","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403492460","name":"A Comprehensive Literature Review on Hydrogen Tanks: Storage, Safety, and Structural Integrity","source":"openalex","abstract":"In recent years, there has been a significant increase in research on hydrogen due to the urgent need to move away from carbon-intensive energy sources. This transition highlights the critical role of hydrogen storage technology, where hydrogen tanks are crucial for achieving cleaner energy solutions. This paper aims to provide a general overview of hydrogen treatment from a mechanical viewpoint, and to create a comprehensive review that integrates the concepts of hydrogen safety and storage. This study explores the potential of hydrogen applications as a clean energy alternative and their role in various sectors, including industry, automotive, aerospace, and marine fields. The review also discusses design technologies, safety measures, material improvements, social impacts, and the regulatory landscape of hydrogen storage tanks and safety technology. This work provides a historical literature review up to 2014 and a systematic literature review from 2014 to the present to fill the gap between hydrogen storage and safety. In particular, a fundamental feature of this work is leveraging systematic procedural techniques for performing an unbiased review study to offer a detailed analysis of contemporary advancements. This innovative approach differs significantly from conventional review methods, since it involves a replicable, scientific, and transparent process, which culminates in minimizing bias and allows for highlighting the fundamental issues about the topics of interest and the main conclusions of the experts in the field of reference. The systematic approach employed in the paper was used to analyze 55 scientific articles, resulting in the identification of six primary categories. The key findings of this review work underline the need for improved materials, enhanced safety protocols, and robust infrastructure to support hydrogen adoption. More importantly, one of the fundamental results of the present review analysis is pinpointing the central role that composite materials will play during the transition toward hydrogen applications based on thin-walled industrial vessels.

In this paper, we utilize a spatially explicit costing model to evaluate how regional biophysical factors and geography affect BECCS viability. We find that the cost of biomass provision and CO2 transport and storage are an average of $20/t‐CO2 and $16/t‐CO2 for aquatic and terrestrial BECCS, respectively. Assuming rapid technological development in the CO2 capture domain, this corresponds to 40–72% of land area in the conterminous United States exhibiting systems integration costs compatible with 2030 carbon prices (median $90/t‐CO2). Results are strongly influenced by the cost of geologic sequestration, in particular storage quality (as driven by depth, permeability, etc.) and available capacity, rather than simply proximity to nearby CO2 sources. For this reason, the Southeast presents appealing BECCS readiness owing to high biomass productivity (several counties with yield >100 000 dry ton of biomass per year) interspersed with well‐explored sinks with large sequestration potential and optimal reservoir quality with permeability >500 mD. We also find that geologic storage capacity is unlikely to be a major biophysical constraint, as sink utilization in most states would likely remain below 10% at the projected rates of BECCS deployment to achieve the 2 °C target and as low as 1% in Texas, Oklahoma, and Alabama. The analysis also reveals subtle secondary outcomes; for example, to what extent different regions may be well poised to adopt different, complementary negative emissions technologies based on specific confluences of circumstances. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ghg.2041","authors":["Udayan Singh","Erica M.

Here we describe the Transpiration Estimation Algorithm (TEA), which uses both the signals of gross primary productivity and evapotranspiration (ET) to estimate temporal patterns of water use efficiency (WUE, i.e., the ratio between gross primary productivity and T) from which T is calculated. The method first isolates periods when T is most likely to dominate ET. Then, a Random Forest Regressor is trained on WUE within the filtered periods and can thus estimate WUE and T at every time step. Performance of the method is validated using terrestrial biosphere model output as synthetic flux data sets, that is, flux data where WUE dynamics are encoded in the model structure and T is known. TEA reproduced temporal patterns of T with modeling efficiencies above 0.8 for all three models: JSBACH, MuSICA, and CASTANEA. Algorithm output is robust to data set noise but shows some sensitivity to sites and model structures with relatively constant evaporation levels, overestimating values of T while still capturing temporal patterns. The ability to capture between‐site variability in the fraction of T to total ET varied by model, with root‐mean‐square error values between algorithm predicted and modeled T/ET ranging from 3% to 15% depending on the model. TEA provides a widely applicable method for estimating WUE while requiring minimal data and/or knowledge on physiology which can complement and inform the current understanding of underlying processes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2018jg004727","authors":["Jacob A.

However, uncertainties are rarely evaluated, and so it is difficult to determine how much confidence can be placed in the results. Our objective was to quantify uncertainties across multiple scales in a process‐based model analysis, and provide 95% confidence intervals for the estimates. Specifically, we used the Century ecosystem model to estimate changes in SOC stocks for US croplands during the 1990s, addressing uncertainties in model inputs, structure and scaling of results from point locations to regions and the entire country. Overall, SOC stocks increased in US croplands by 14.6 Tg C yr−1 from 1990 to 1995 and 17.5 Tg C yr−1 during 1995 to 2000, and uncertainties were ±22% and ±16% for the two time periods, respectively. Uncertainties were inversely related to spatial scale, with median uncertainties at the regional scale estimated at ±118% and ±114% during the early and latter part of 1990s, and even higher at the site scale with estimates at ±739% and ±674% for the time periods, respectively. This relationship appeared to be driven by the amount of the SOC stock change; changes in stocks that exceeded 200 Gg C yr−1 represented a threshold where uncertainties were always lower than ±100%. Consequently, the amount of uncertainty in estimates derived from process‐based models will partly depend on the level of SOC accumulation or loss. In general, the majority of uncertainty was associated with model structure in this application, and so attaining higher levels of precision in the estimates will largely depend on improving the model algorithms and parameterization, as well as increasing the number of measurement sites used to evaluate the structural uncertainty.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2486.2009.01951.x","authors":["Stephen M.

The investigated technologies are the oxyfuel process, the chilled ammonia process, membrane-assisted CO2 liquefaction, and the calcium looping process with tail-end and integrated configurations. For comparison, absorption with monoethanolamine (MEA) is used as reference technology. The focus of the evaluation is on emission abatement, energy performance, and retrofitability. All the investigated technologies perform better than the reference both in terms of emission abatement and energy consumption. The equivalent CO2 avoided are 73–90%, while it is 64% for MEA, considering the average EU-28 electricity mix. The specific primary energy consumption for CO2 avoided is 1.63–4.07 MJ/kg CO2, compared to 7.08 MJ/kg CO2 for MEA. The calcium looping technologies have the highest emission abatement potential, while the oxyfuel process has the best energy performance. When it comes to retrofitability, the post-combustion technologies show significant advantages compared to the oxyfuel and to the integrated calcium looping technologies. Furthermore, the performance of the individual technologies shows strong dependencies on site-specific and plant-specific factors. Therefore, rather than identifying one single best technology, it is emphasized that CO2 capture in the cement industry should be performed with a portfolio of capture technologies, where the preferred choice for each specific plant depends on local factors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en12030559","authors":["Mari Voldsund","Stefania Gardarsdottir","Edoardo De Lena","José‐Francisco Pérez‐Calvo","Armin Jamali","David Berstad","Chao Fu","Matteo C.

Still, further research towards the production and utilization of other electron donors — especially phosphite — might unlock the full potential of microbial CO2 fixation and bioproduction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.copbio.2018.01.019","authors":["Nico J.

To produce biofuels from biomass, thermochemical conversion processes are considered as the most efficient routes wherein torrefaction has the lowest global warming potential. Combustion is the easiest way to consume biomass, which can be burned alone or co-fired with coal to generate heat and power. However, solid biomass fuels are not commonly applied in the industry due to their characteristics of hygroscopic nature and high moisture content, low bulk density and calorific value, poor grindability, low compositional homogeneity, and lower resistance against biological degradation. In recently developing biomass conversion technologies, torrefaction has attracted much attention since it can effectively upgrade solid biomass and produce coal-like fuel. Torrefaction is categorized into dry and wet torrefaction; the former can further be split into non-oxidative and oxidative torrefaction. Despite numerous methods developed, non-oxidative torrefaction, normally termed torrefaction, has a higher potential for practical applications and commercialization when compared to other methods. To provide a comprehensive review of the progress in biomass torrefaction technologies, this study aims to perform an in-depth literature survey of torrefaction principles, processes, systems, and to identify a current trend in practical torrefaction development and environmental performance. Moreover, the encountered challenges and perspectives from torrefaction development are underlined. This state-of-the-art review is conducive to the production and applications of biochar for resource utilization and environmental sustainability. To date, several kinds of reactors have been developed, while there is still no obviously preferred one as they simultaneously have pros and cons. Integrating torrefaction with other processes such as co-firing, gasification, pyrolysis, and ironmaking, etc., makes it more efficient and economically feasible in contrast to using a single process. By virtue of capturing carbon dioxide during the growth stage of biomass, negative carbon emissions can even be achieved from torrefied biomass.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pecs.2020.100887","authors":["Wei‐Hsin Chen","Bo-Jhih Lin","Yu‐Ying Lin","Yen-Shih Chu","Aristotle T.

Amongst them, a very interesting application is hydrogen storage. For this purpose, activated carbon from pinecones were prepared using chemical activation with different KOH/precursor ratios, and their hydrogen adsorption capacity was evaluated at liquid nitrogen temperatures (77 K) at pressures of up to 80 bar using a Sievert’s type volumetric apparatus. Regarding the comprehensive characterization of the samples’ textural properties, the measurement of the surface area was carried out using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method, the chemical composition was investigated using wavelength-dispersive spectrometry, and the topography and long-range order was estimated using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The hydrogen adsorption properties of the activated carbon samples were measured and then fitted using the Langmuir/ Töth isotherm model to estimate the adsorption capacity at higher pressures. The results showed that chemical activation induced the formation of an optimal pore size distribution for hydrogen adsorption centered at about 0.5 nm and the proportion of micropore volume was higher than 50%, which resulted in an adsorption capacity of 5.5 wt% at 77 K and 80 bar; this was an increase of as much as 150% relative to the one predicted by the Chahine rule.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en13092237","authors":["Sara Stelitano","Giuseppe Conte","Alfonso Policicchio","Alfredo Aloise","Giovanni Desiderio","Raffaele G.

The model considers various factors, such as operating and emission costs of both gas and electricity subsystems, and incorporates a sensitivity analysis to calculate the investment and maintenance costs associated with the storage systems. Due to the incorporation of voltage and current relations in the electricity subsystem as well as gas pressure and flow considerations in the natural gas subsystem, the developed model is classified as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model. To address the inherent complexity in solving, a decomposition approach based on Outer Approximation/Equality Relaxation/Augmented Penalty is developed.

Unlike Canada’s commercially managed forests that have a long history of inventory and modelling tools, there is both a lack of coordinated data and considerable uncertainty on assessment procedures for urban forest carbon. Nonetheless, independent studies have been carried out across Canada. To improve upon Canada’s federal government reporting on carbon storage and sequestration by urban forests, this study builds on existing data to develop an updated assessment of carbon storage and sequestration for Canada’s urban forests. Using canopy cover estimates derived from ortho-imagery and satellite imagery ranging from 2008 to 2012 and field-based urban forest inventory and assessment data from 16 Canadian cities and one US city, this study found that Canadian urban forests store approximately 27,297.8 kt C (− 37%, + 45%) in above and belowground biomass and sequester approximately 1497.7 kt C year −1 (− 26%, + 28%). In comparison with the previous national assessment of urban forest carbon, this study suggested that in urban areas carbon storage has been overestimated and carbon sequestration has been underestimated. Maximizing urban forest carbon sinks will contribute to Canada’s mitigation efforts and, while being a smaller carbon sink compared to commercial forests, will also provide important ecosystem services and co-benefits to approximately 83% of Canadian people.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13021-023-00230-4","authors":["James W.N.

However, the design and fabrication of MOPs with special functionality for mimicking biological processes are challenging. Inspired by the breathing mechanism of lungs, we developed a new type of MOP (a breathing MOP, denoted as NUT-101) by directly using azobenzene units as the pillars of the polyhedra to coordinate with Zr-based metal clusters. In addition to considerable thermal and chemical stability, the obtained MOP exhibits photocontrollable breathing behavior. Upon irradiation with visible or UV light, the configuration of azobenzene units transforms, leading to reversible expansion or contraction of the cages and, correspondingly, capture or liberation of CO2 molecules.

Download figure Download PowerPoint Introduction Metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs), or supramolecular coordination cages, are an emerging class of discrete nanostructure constructed by organic linkers and metal ions/clusters.1–5 By virtue of designable structure, tunable porosity, and diverse chemical/physical properties,6–8 MOPs show potential in various applications like separation,9–13 catalysis,14–18 drug delivery,19–21 and sensing.22–24 More interestingly, unlike metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with infinite networks, MOPs are discrete molecules with particular geometries and sizes, which can be adopted as artificial models to simulate certain biological architectures and processes.25 Breathing is an essential biological process for human life.26 Lungs are the primary organs responsible for breathing, which undergo reversible expansion and contraction during inhalation and exhalation (Figure 1a).27,28 Inspired by lungs, researchers have engaged in developing artificial systems to mimic the breathing behavior,29–33 and the breathing mechanism is based on the configuration change of frameworks upon external stimuli.34–40 A representative example is MIL-53, whose framework is responsive to water; the pore dime","url":"https://doi.org/10.31635/ccschem.020.202000314","authors":["Yao Jiang","Peng Tan","Shi‐Chao Qi","Chen Gu","Song‐Song Peng","Fan Wu","Xiao‐Qin Liu","Lin‐Bing Sun"],"tags":["Chemical reaction engineering","Chemical technology","Chemical engineering","Engineering","Mechanical engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-08-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.31635/ccschem.020.202000314","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W2526087050","name":"Cyclic Performance of Waste-Derived SiO2 Stabilized, CaO-Based Sorbents for Fast CO2 Capture","source":"openalex","abstract":"Calcium-looping technology has been identified as one of the most favorable CO 2 capture techniques for the implementation of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS); however, the rapid deactivation of CaO sorbents due to sintering is currently a major barrier of this technology. We report for the first time an environmentally benign and cost-effective strategy to reduce sintering by adding waste-derived nanosilica, synthesized from photovoltaic waste (SiCl 4 ), into Cao-based sorbents through a simple dry mixing procedure. The as-synthesized sorbent (90% CaCO 3 –W) resulted in final CO 2 uptake of 0.32 g(CO 2 ) g(CaO) −1 within 5 min of carbonation. Even under the most severe calcination conditions (at 920 °C in pure CO 2 ), it still maintained a stable capture capacity, with CO 2 uptake of 0.23 g(CO 2 ) g(CaO) −1 after 30 cycles. Additionally, the CO 2 uptake percentage reached ∼90% in the fast carbonation stage (∼20 s), which is of great significance for real applications. The most likely stabilization mechanism was considered on the basis of N 2 physisorption isotherms and X-ray diffraction patterns. It was concluded that stable and refractory larnite (Ca 2 SiO 4 ) particles were formed during 2-h thermal pretreatment at 900 °C, leading to sintering resistance. This strategy significantly enhanced the cyclic stability and carbonation rate of CaO-based sorbents through the reuse of SiCl 4 and is thus a green technology for scaled-up fast CO 2 capture.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.6b01903","authors":["Feng Yan","Jianguo Jiang","Kaimin Li","Sicong Tian","Zongwen Liu","Jeffrey Shi","Xuejing Chen","Jingyuan Fei","Yuxiang Lu"],"tags":["Carbonation","Sorbent","Sintering","Calcination","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-09-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.6b01903","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W2158714963","name":"High-fidelity national carbon mapping for resource management and REDD+","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: High fidelity carbon mapping has the potential to greatly advance national resource management and to encourage international action toward climate change mitigation. However, carbon inventories based on field plots alone cannot capture the heterogeneity of carbon stocks, and thus remote sensing-assisted approaches are critically important to carbon mapping at regional to global scales. We advanced a high-resolution, national-scale carbon mapping approach applied to the Republic of Panama - one of the first UN REDD + partner countries. RESULTS: Integrating measurements of vegetation structure collected by airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) with field inventory plots, we report LiDAR-estimated aboveground carbon stock errors of ~10% on any 1-ha land parcel across a wide range of ecological conditions. Critically, this shows that LiDAR provides a highly reliable replacement for inventory plots in areas lacking field data, both in humid tropical forests and among drier tropical vegetation types. We then scale up a systematically aligned LiDAR sampling of Panama using satellite data on topography, rainfall, and vegetation cover to model carbon stocks at 1-ha resolution with estimated average pixel-level uncertainty of 20.5 Mg C ha-1 nationwide. CONCLUSIONS: The national carbon map revealed strong abiotic and human controls over Panamanian carbon stocks, and the new level of detail with estimated uncertainties for every individual hectare in the country sets Panama at the forefront in high-resolution ecosystem management. With this repeatable approach, carbon resource decision-making can be made on a geospatially explicit basis, enhancing human welfare and environmental protection.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/1750-0680-8-7","authors":["Gregory P.

How does computation contribute to the warming of the planet? As information technology (IT) capacity demands continue to trend upward, what are some of the ecological obstacles that must be overcome to accommodate an ever-expanding, carbon-hungry Cloud? How do these material impacts play out in everyday life, behind the scenes, where servers, fiber optic cables, and technicians facilitate cloud services? This case study draws on firsthand ethnographic research in data centers—sprawling libraries of computer servers that facilitate everything from email to commerce—to identify some of the far-reaching and tangled environmental impacts of computation and data-storage infrastructures. It surveys a range of empirical accounts of server technicians to illustrate on-the-ground examples of material and ecological factors that permeate everyday life in the Cloud. These examples include air conditioning and thermal management, water cycling, and the disposal of e-waste. By attending to the culture of workplace practice and the behaviors and training of technicians in data centers, this case study reveals that the Cloud is not fully automated, nor is it hyperrational; emotion, instinct, and human judgment are enlisted to keep servers running.

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is one of the main technological methods for reducing the amount of CO2 emissions emitted directly into the atmosphere. CO2 transport, i.e., shipping CO2 to permanent or temporary storage sites, is a critical intermediate step in the CCUS chain. This study formulates a mixed-integer programming model for a carbon storage and transport problem in the CCUS chain to optimally determine ship allocation, ship departure scheduling, and CO2 storage and transport. Taking advantage of the structure of the problem, we transform the mixed-integer programming model into a simpler model that can be computed efficiently. To evaluate the performance of the simpler model, numerous computational experiments are conducted. The results show that all small-scale instances (each with 10 power plants) and medium-scale instances (each with 30 power plants) can be solved optimality by Gurobi within 14.33 s. For large-scale instances with 60 and 65 power plants, feasible solutions with average gap values of 0.06% and 6.93% can be obtained by Gurobi within one hour, which indicates that the proposed methodology can be efficiently applied to practical problems. In addition, important parameters, including the unit fuel price, the time-charter cost, and the ship sailing speed, are examined in sensitivity analyses to investigate the impacts of these factors on operations decisions.

Previously, Aspergillus nidulans mutants lacking the Yap1 ortholog NapA have been characterized as sensitive to H 2 O 2 and menadione. Here we study NapA roles in relation to TFs SrrA and AtfA, also involved in oxidant detoxification, showing that these TFs play different roles in oxidative stress resistance, catalase gene regulation and development, during A. nidulans life cycle. We also uncover novel NapA roles in repression of sexual development, normal conidiation, conidial mRNA accumulation, and carbon utilization. The phenotypic characterization of gpxA, tpxA, and tpxB single, double and triple peroxiredoxin mutants in wild type or napA backgrounds shows that none of these Prxs is required for NapA function in H 2 O 2 and menadione resistance. However, these Prxs participate in a minor NapA-independent H 2 O 2 resistance pathway and NapA and TpxA appear to regulate conidiation along the same route. Using transcriptomic analysis we show that during conidial development NapA-dependent gene expression pattern is different from canonical oxidative stress patterns. In the course of conidiation, NapA is required for regulation of at least 214 genes, including ethanol utilization genes alcR, alcA and aldA, and large sets of genes encoding proteins involved in transcriptional regulation, drug detoxification, carbohydrate utilization and secondary metabolism, comprising multiple oxidoreductases, membrane transporters and hydrolases. In agreement with this, napA mutants fail to grow or grow very poorly in ethanol, arabinose or fructose as sole carbon sources. Moreover, we show that NapA nuclear localization is induced not only by oxidative stress but also by growth in ethanol and by carbon starvation. Together with our previous work, these results show that SakA-AtfA, SrrA and NapA oxidative stress-sensing pathways regulate essential aspects of spore physiology (i.e., cell cycle arrest, dormancy, drug production and detoxification, and carbohydrate utilization).","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2017.00516","authors":["Ariann E.

Furthermore, the estimated long-run coefficient of agricultural land is positive and significant which reveals that agricultural land expansion by 1% is associated with an increase in CO2 emissions by 1.58% in the long run. The empirical findings reveal that economic growth and agricultural land expansion increase CO2 emissions while increased renewable energy use improves environmental quality by reducing CO2 emissions in Peru. The estimated results are robust to alternative estimators such as fully modified least squares (FMOLS) and canonical cointegrating regression (CCR). This article provides policy recommendations aimed at a low-carbon economy, promoting renewable energy use and climate-smart agriculture to achieve emission reduction and environmental sustainability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nexus.2022.100067","authors":["Asif Raihan","Almagul Tuspekova"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Renewable energy","Natural resource economics","Sustainability","Green growth"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-04-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nexus.2022.100067","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W4365449538","name":"Sustainable aviation fuels – Options for negative emissions and high carbon efficiency","source":"openalex","abstract":"Mitigating the climate impact from aviation remains one of the tougher challenges in adapting society to fulfill stated climate targets. Long-range aviation cannot be electrified for the foreseeable future and the effects of combusting fuel at high altitude increase the climate impact compared to emissions of green-house gasses only, which further limits the range of sustainable fuel alternatives. We investigate seven different pathways for producing aviation biofuels coupled with either bio-energy carbon capture and storage (BECCS), or bio-energy carbon capture and utilization (BECCU). Both options allow for increased efficiency regarding utilization of feedstock carbon. Our analysis uses process-level carbon- and energy balances, with carbon efficiency, climate impact and levelized cost of production (LCOP) as primary performance indicators. The results show that CCS can achieve a negative carbon footprint for four out of the seven pathways, at a lower cost of GHG reduction than the base process option. Conversely, as a consequence of the electricity-intensive CO2 upgrading process, the CCU option shows less encouraging results with higher production costs, carbon footprints and costs of GHG reduction. Overall, pathways with large amounts of vented CO2, e.g., gasification of black liquor or bark, as well as fermentation of forest residues, reach a low GHG reduction cost for the CCS option. These are also pathways with a larger feedstock and corresponding production potential. Our results enable a differentiated comparison of the suitability of various alternatives for BECCS or BECCU in combination with aviation biofuel production. By quantifying the relative strengths and weaknesses of BECCS and BECCU and by highlighting cost, climate and carbon-efficient pathways, these results can be a source of support for both policymakers and the industry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2023.103886","authors":["Johan Ahlström","Yawer Jafri","Elisabeth Wetterlund","Erik Furusjö"],"tags":["Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage","Greenhouse gas","Environmental science","Biofuel","Carbon footprint"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-04-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2023.103886","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W4298151151","name":"In‐MOF‐Derived Hierarchically Hollow Carbon Nanostraws for Advanced Zinc‐Iodine Batteries","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Hollow carbon materials are regarded as crucial support materials in catalysis and electrochemical energy storage on account of their unique porous structure and electrical properties. Herein, an indium‐based organic framework of InOF‐1 can be thermally carbonized under inert argon to form indium particles through the redox reaction between nanosized indium oxide and carbon matrix. In particular, a type of porous hollow carbon nanostraw (HCNS) is in situ obtained by combining the fusion and removal of indium within the decarboxylation process. The as‐synthesized HCNS, which possesses more charge active sites, short and quick electron, and ion transport pathways, has become an excellent carrier for electrochemically active species such as iodine with its unique internal cavity and interconnected porous structure on the tube wall. Furthermore, the assembled zinc‐iodine batteries (ZIBs) provide a high capacity of 234.1 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1, which ensures that the adsorption and dissolution of iodine species in the electrolyte reach a rapid equilibrium. The rate and cycle performance of the HCNS‐based ZIBs are greatly improved, thereby exhibiting an excellent capacity retention rate. It shows a better electrochemical exchange capacity than typical unidirectional carbon nanotubes, making HCNS an ideal cathode material for a new generation of high‐performance batteries.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202105063","authors":["Lulu Chai","Xian Wang","Yue Hu","Xifei Li","Shaoming Huang","Junqing Pan","Jinjie Qian","Xueliang Sun"],"tags":["Zinc","Materials science","Iodine","Carbon fibers","Nanotechnology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-10-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202105063","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W1995198667","name":"Using coal for transportation in China: Life cycle GHG of coal-based fuel and electric vehicle, and policy implications","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2010.04.018","authors":["Xunmin Ou","Xiaoyu Yan","Xiliang Zhang"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Coal","Waste management","Life-cycle assessment","Gasoline"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2010-05-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2010.04.018","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W4390398950","name":"Bifunctional materials for integrated CO2 capture and conversion: review on adsorbent and catalyst types, recent advances, and challenges","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jece.2023.111799","authors":["Xing Gang Zhang","Archina Buthiyappan","Jegalakshimi Jewaratnam","Hendrik Simon Cornelis Metselaar","Abdul Aziz Abdul Raman"],"tags":["Context (archaeology)","Environmental science","Bifunctional","Adsorption","Process engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jece.2023.111799","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W3022181625","name":"Combining natural gas recovery and CO2-based geothermal energy extraction for electric power generation","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2020.115012","authors":["Justin Ezekiel","Anozie Ebigbo","Benjamin M.

For any country in the world, public support is one of the prerequisites for the commercial development of CCS technology. In order to identify the current acceptance of CCS technology in China, this paper conducts a questionnaire survey on the Internet from September to December 2021, recovering 302 valid questionnaires, as well as statistical analysis and hypothesis verification. We utilize the structural equation to quantify the impact of public awareness, benefit perception, risk perception, public trust, climate change awareness, and environmental awareness on CCS acceptance. We found the following facts: (i) In terms of cognition, 58% of the respondents have heard of CCS, and 10% know it better. (ii) As for acceptance, the total number of respondents who basically agreed, agreed and strongly agreed was 53%. (iii) Climate change awareness, public awareness, public trust, and interest perception have a significant positive impact on the degree of acceptance. Risk perception has a significant negative impact on acceptance. Public trust can adjust the relationship between interest and risk perception and acceptance. Public awareness affects the acceptance of CCS with interest and risk perception as intermediary variable. (iv) Lack of risk disclosure and research on CCS projects may lead to blind acceptance by the public.

The design and development of biosensors have taken a center stage for researchers or scientists in the recent decade owing to the wide range of biosensor applications, such as health care and disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring, water and food quality monitoring, and drug delivery. The main challenges involved in the biosensor progress are (i) the efficient capturing of biorecognition signals and the transformation of these signals into electrochemical, electrical, optical, gravimetric, or acoustic signals (transduction process), (ii) enhancing transducer performance i.e., increasing sensitivity, shorter response time, reproducibility, and low detection limits even to detect individual molecules, and (iii) miniaturization of the biosensing devices using micro-and nano-fabrication technologies. Those challenges can be met through the integration of sensing technology with nanomaterials, which range from zero- to three-dimensional, possessing a high surface-to-volume ratio, good conductivities, shock-bearing abilities, and color tunability. Nanomaterials (NMs) employed in the fabrication and nanobiosensors include nanoparticles (NPs) (high stability and high carrier capacity), nanowires (NWs) and nanorods (NRs) (capable of high detection sensitivity), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (large surface area, high electrical and thermal conductivity), and quantum dots (QDs) (color tunability).

The polygeneration plant without CCS turned out to be more efficient than the conventional CFB power plant, suggesting that the former is a promising and efficient option to utilize lignite resources.

Therefore, a trade‐off should be made between low emissions and high efficiency.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ceat.201300759","authors":["Zhihang Guo","Qinhui Wang","Mengxiang Fang","Zhongyang Luo","Kefa Cen"],"tags":["tar (computing)","Waste management","Pyrolysis","Environmental science","Char"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-02-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ceat.201300759","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W3087889643","name":"A review on long-term electrical power system modeling with energy storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Driven by the demand for intermittent power generation, Energy Storage (ES) will be widely adopted in future electricity grids to provide flexibility and resilience. Technically, there are two classes of ES for storing low-carbon energy: Generation-Integrated Energy Storage (GIES) and non-GIES. GIES stores energy along with the transformation between the primary energy form (e.g., thermal energy) and electricity. Long-term Electrical Power System Models (LEPSMs) support analysis including decarbonization studies and energy technology assessments. Current LEPSMs are limited in describing the power system with ES (e.g., considering one type of ES and not considering GIES). Consequently, a novel LEPSM is needed, and this paper paves the way towards this goal by bringing together the literature on ES and LEPSMs. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review of LEPSMs and shows that (a) existing models are inadequate to address grids with a high percentage of renewables and ES; and (b) there is a challenge in integrating short-term temporal changes in LEPSMs due to model complexity and computational cost. Finally, this paper proposes a framework for long-term electrical power system modeling considering ES and low-carbon power generation, which we have named the long-term power flow electrical power system framework. The key features of this novel framework are its agent-based modeling of consumer behavior, scenario reduction for renewables, and power flow analysis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2020.124298","authors":["Chun Sing Lai","Giorgio Locatelli","Andrew Pimm","Xiaomei Wu","Loi Lei Lai"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Electric power system","Energy storage","Distributed generation","Flexibility (engineering)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-09-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2020.124298","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W2893373997","name":"Design and Preparation of Biomass-Derived Carbon Materials for Supercapacitors: A Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"The synthesis and application of biomass-derived carbon in energy storage have drawn increasing research attention due to the ease of fabrication, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of the meso/microporous carbon produced from various biological precursors, including plants, fruits, microorganisms, and animals.

With the growth of cement production, CO2 emissions are increasing rapidly too. Carbon capture and storage is the most feasible new technology option to reduce CO2 emissions in the cement industry. More research on environmental impacts is required to provide the theoretical basis for the implementation of carbon capture and storage in cement production. In this paper, GaBi software and scenario analysis were employed to quantitatively analyze and compare the environmental impacts of cement production with and without carbon capture and storage technology, from the perspective of a life-cycle assessment; aiming to promote sustainable development of the cement industry. Results of two carbon capture and storage scenarios show decreases in the impacts of global warming potential and some environmental impacts. However, other scenarios show a significant increase in other environmental impacts. In particular, post-combustion carbon capture technology can bring a more pronounced increase in toxicity potential. Therefore, effective measures must be taken into account to reduce the impact of toxicity when carbon capture and storage is employed in cement production. CO2 transport and storage account for only a small proportion of environmental impacts. For post-combustion carbon capture, most of the environmental impacts come from the unit of combined heat and power and carbon capture, with the background production of MonoEthanolAmine contributing significantly. In combined heat and power plants, natural gas is more advantageous than a 10% coal-saving, and thermal efficiency is a key parameter affecting the environmental impacts. Future research should focus on exploring cleaner and effective absorbents or seeking the alternative fuel in combined heat and power plants for post-combustion carbon capture. If the power industry is the first to deploy carbon capture and storage, oxy-combustion carbon capture is an excellent choice for the cement industry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su11092626","authors":["Jing An","Richard S.

Supercritical compressed carbon dioxide energy storage (SC-CCES) technology is among the most promising methods for large-scale energy storage.

The system utilizes the S-CO 2 from carbon capture coal-fired units as the working medium for the SC-CCES system, eliminating the need for a low-pressure gas storage chamber in the SC-CCES system. A thermodynamic model of the coupled system is developed, and its thermal characteristics are analyzed using a peak shaving scheme. The results indicate that the SC-CCES system enhances both the peaking flexibility and peaking depth of the coupled system compared to the carbon capture coal-fired unit alone. In pure storage mode, the coupled system can save up to 52.1 g/kWh of coal consumption during a peak shaving cycle, achieving a round-trip efficiency of 70.1 % and an energy density of 10.87 kWh/m 3 . When operating in electricity storage with heat storage mode, the SC-CCES system uses the reheated steam from the coal-fired unit to heat S-CO 2 , resulting in an energy storage efficiency of 45.49 %, an energy density of 23.1 kWh/m 3 , and a required high-pressure gas storage chamber volume of 851.4 m 3 /h.

The land surface models JULES (Joint UK Land Environment Simulator, two versions) and ORCHIDEE-MICT (Organizing Carbon and Hydrology in Dynamic Ecosystems), each with a revised representation of permafrost carbon, were coupled to the Integrated Model Of Global Effects of climatic aNomalies (IMOGEN) intermediate-complexity climate and ocean carbon uptake model. IMOGEN calculates atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and local monthly surface climate for a given emission scenario with the land–atmosphere CO2 flux exchange from either JULES or ORCHIDEE-MICT. These simulations include feedbacks associated with permafrost carbon changes in a warming world. Both IMOGEN–JULES and IMOGEN–ORCHIDEE-MICT were forced by historical and three alternative future-CO2-emission scenarios. Those simulations were performed for different climate sensitivities and regional climate change patterns based on 22 different Earth system models (ESMs) used for CMIP3 (phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project), allowing us to explore climate uncertainties in the context of permafrost carbon–climate feedbacks. Three future emission scenarios consistent with three representative concentration pathways were used: RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. Paired simulations with and without frozen carbon processes were required to quantify the impact of the permafrost carbon feedback on climate change. The additional warming from the permafrost carbon feedback is between 0.2 and 12 % of the change in the global mean temperature (ΔT) by the year 2100 and 0.5 and 17 % of ΔT by 2300, with these ranges reflecting differences in land surface models, climate models and emissions pathway. As a percentage of ΔT, the permafrost carbon feedback has a greater impact on the low-emissions scenario (RCP2.6) than on the higher-emissions scenarios, suggesting that permafrost carbon should be taken into account when evaluating scenarios of heavy mitigation and stabilization. Structural differences between the land surface models (particularly the representation of the soil carbon decomposition) are found to be a larger source of uncertainties than differences in the climate response. Inertia in the permafrost carbon system means that the permafrost carbon response depends on the temporal trajectory of warming as well as the absolute amount of warming. We propose a new policy-relevant metric – the frozen carbon residence time (FCRt) in years – that can be derived from these complex land surface models and used to quantify the permafrost carbon response given any pathway of global temperature change.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-14-3051-2017","authors":["Eleanor Burke","Altug Ekici","Ye Huang","Sarah Chadburn","Chris Huntingford","Philippe Ciais","Pierre Friedlingstein","Shushi Peng","Gerhard Krinner"],"tags":["Permafrost","Environmental science","Climate change","Carbon cycle","Climate model"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2017-06-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-14-3051-2017","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W3133546360","name":"An amino acid based system for CO 2 capture and catalytic utilization to produce formates","source":"openalex","abstract":"A novel amino acid based reaction system for CO 2 capture and utilization (CCU) to produce formates is presented applying a ruthenium-based catalyst.

Firstly, a multi-energy and multi-type demand response model based on time-of-use electricity price and incentive mechanism is established, and user satisfaction is used to evaluate it. Then, a carbon trading model of integrated energy system is established considering the actual carbon emissions of the system and the ladder-type carbon trading mechanism.

However, our state of knowledge about soil microbial activities, community compositions and carbon use patterns under metal contaminations is still poor. This study aimed to evaluate the influences of heavy metals (Cd and Pb) on soil microorganisms by investigating the microbial community composition and carbon use preferences. Metal pollution was approached both singly and jointly with low (25 and 2500 mg kg −1 ) and high (50 and 5000 mg kg −1 ) concentrations of Cd and Pb, respectively, in an artificially contaminated soil. In a laboratory incubation experiment, bio-available and potentially bio-available metal concentrations, selected soil properties (pH, electrical conductivity, total organic carbon and total nitrogen), and microbial parameters (microbial activity as basal respiration, microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and microbial functional groups) were determined at two sampling occasions (7 and 49 days). Metal contamination had no effect on the selected soil properties, while it significantly inhibited both microbial activity and MBC formation. Contaminated soils had higher microbial quotient ( q CO 2 ), suggesting there was higher energy demand with less microbially immobilized carbon as MBC. Notably, the efficiency of microbial carbon use was repressed as the metal concentration increased, yet no difference was observed between metal types ( p > 0.05). Based on the microbial phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) analysis, total PLFAs decreased significantly under metal stress at the end of incubation. Heavy metals had a greater negative influence on the fungal population than bacteria with respective 5–35 and 8–32% fall in abundances. The contaminant-driven (metal concentrations and types) variation of soil PLFA biomarkers demonstrated that the heavy metals led to the alteration of soil microbial community compositions and their activities, which consequently had an adverse impact on soil microbial carbon immobilization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2019.01.071","authors":["Yilu Xu","Balaji Seshadri","Nanthi Bolan","Binoy Sarkar","Yong Sik Ok","Wei Zhang","Cornélia Rumpel","Donald L.

Agronomy and Utilization: A Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Currently, there are increased interests in growing grain and fiber hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) as well as in large-scale hemp products. Cannabis has been grown/utilized for thousands of years as a fiber, grain, and drug/medicinal plant. However, the strict control of cannabis cultivation to combat illegal use, the spread of new yarns and oilseeds, and the advent of cheap synthetic fibers caused a decreased/eliminated hemp production. Hemp has been banned in most of the world for more than seven decades; it missed out on the Green Revolution and the adoption of new technologies and varieties, creating a knowledge gap. After the 2014 and 2018 Farm Bill in the USA, hemp became legal and the land grand universities launched research programs. The ability to utilize the entire plant for multiple purposes creates opportunity for the market to value hemp products. Hemp production technology varies depending on the type of hemp cultivated (grain, fiber, or cannabinoids), soil characteristics, and environmental factors. Hemp has the potential to be a very sustainable and ecologically benign crop. Hemp roots have a significant potential for absorbing and storing heavy metals such as lead, nickel, cadmium, and other harmful substances. In addition, hemp has been proven to be an excellent carbon trap and biofuel crop. Hemp has the ability to successfully suppress weeds, and it is generally regarded a pesticide-free crop. The purpose of this paper is to examine historic and recent industrial hemp (grain and fiber) literature, with a focus on hemp agronomy and utilization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy13030931","authors":["Jelena Visković","Valtcho D.

To actualize a practical PEC water splitting, it is paramount to develop efficient, stable, safe, and low‐cost photoelectrode materials. Recently, graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) has aroused a great interest in the new generation photoelectrode materials because of its unique features, such as suitable band structure for water splitting, a certain range of visible light absorption, nontoxicity, and good stability. Some inherent defects of g‐C3N4, however, seriously impair further improvement on PEC performance, including low electronic conductivity, high recombination rate of photogenerated charges, and limited visible light absorption at long wavelength range. Construction of g‐C3N4‐based nanosized heteroarrays as photoelectrodes has been regarded as a promising strategy to circumvent these inherent limitations and achieve the high‐performance PEC water splitting due to the accelerated exciton separation and the reduced combination of photogenerated electrons/holes. Herein, we summarize in detail the latest progress of g‐C3N4‐based nanosized heteroarrays in PEC water‐splitting photoelectrodes. Firstly, the unique advantages of this type of photoelectrodes, including the highly ordered nanoarray architectures and the heterojunctions, are highlighted. Then, different g‐C3N4‐based nanosized heteroarrays are comprehensively discussed, in terms of their fabrication methods, PEC capacities, and mechanisms, etc. To conclude, the key challenges and possible solutions for future development on g‐C3N4‐based nanosized heteroarray photoelectrodes are discussed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cey2.48","authors":["Liqun Wang","Wenping Si","Yueyu Tong","Feng Hou","Daniele Pergolesi","Jungang Hou","Thomas Lippert","Shi Xue Dou","Ji Liang"],"tags":["Water splitting","Heterojunction","Materials science","Graphitic carbon nitride","Nanotechnology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-05-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cey2.48","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W2902845322","name":"Energy security and energy storage technologies","source":"openalex","abstract":"As the transition to a 100% renewable energy (RE) system is meant to enhance sustainability, energy security should be taken into consideration.

The aim of this work is to analyse energy storage technologies from an energy security perspective. Different storage technologies are studied. The portfolio of the technologies include: Pump Hydro Storage (PHS), Thermal Energy Storage (TES), batteries, Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (A-CAES), and bulk storage for gas and liquid (biogas, H2, CH4, CO2, O2, liquefied gases, biodiesel, synthetic fuels, etc.) relevant for the energy transition. The results show clearly that not all storage technologies obtain the same level of energy security; TES is considered to have the highest level of security, and then the other storage technologies come in order from the highest to the lowest: batteries, gas/liquid storage, PHS, and the least secure energy storage technology is A-CAES. The conclusion is that all storage technologies show a positive relationship with energy security and all increase energy security, albeit at different levels. Therefore, it is recommended that manufacturers, energy system planners and policy makers adopt and improve storage technologies based on the need and the security of the system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2018.11.053","authors":["Abdelrahman Azzuni","Christian Breyer"],"tags":["Compressed air energy storage","Energy security","Energy storage","Renewable energy","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-11-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2018.11.053","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.013Z"},{"id":"oa:W1985400315","name":"Feasibility of the Combination of CO2 Geological storage and Saline Water Development in Sedimentary Basins of China","source":"openalex","abstract":"Utilization plays a key role in the deployment of CCS in China.

Typically, networks are designed based on a fixed time-invariant infrastructure. Designers face choices about pre-investing in large pipelines or building for average demand with the risk of future capacity issues or when and where additional boosting is required. In this paper we present a phased CCS network design that adapts over time, using \"system constraints maps\" to visualize component interactions and identify needed modifications for efficient, scalable expansion. Our methodology is based on the development of constraints maps that help visualize various design and operational limits. This enables designers to propose a strategy (pipeline upgrades, pressure boosting, etc.) to ensure that the infrastructure is fit-for-purpose. Rigorous steady-state flow assurance simulations are carried out to develop the maps. We have used an integrated full-chain model from the inlet of the pipeline to the sandface (but not the reservoir itself). Maps are constructed based on various criteria, for example, finding parameters that will avoid two-phase flow in the pipelines or will allow start operation with an existing infrastructure. Our case study considers various emitters sending CO2 to an onshore/offshore transport system for injection to three highly depleted gas reservoirs. The analysis has identified several trade-offs, and an operating strategy has been developed to satisfy and accommodate several design constraints. We have considered reusing existing facilities and that upgrades will be required over time. We showed that the existing facilities, with minor modifications, are adequate for transportation and injection of a flowrate of 1.5 MtCO2/year until a bottom hole pressure of 30 bar is reached. We map modifications and upgrades that will expand the system capacity to more than 5 MtCO2/year. The configuration shown in this work provides the most cost-effective and low risk system. This option offers the most flexible road map for rapid deployment if infrastructure is already in place. Planning and designing CCS transport networks requires deep understanding of interactions of the elements of the system. We show how a full-chain holistic approach provides a bigger picture and its benefits at early stages of engineering design. System envelopes help to identify bottlenecks and propose modifications to the system to enable continuous flow. These maps can be developed for any CCS transport system regardless of the configuration or if it is newly built or existing.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/225810-ms","authors":["K.

CCS is one of the key technologies essential to achieve greenhouse gas reduction. This technology can also contribute to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) efforts by increasing oil production in mature fields. The liquefied CO2 (LCO2) to be sequestered is injected directly into subseabed geological formations through a flexible riser pipe using injection facilities contained onboard an LCO2 carrier ship. The primary characteristics of this LCO2 subseabed injection system are as follows: the presence of LCO2 injection equipment onboard the LCO2 carrier ship, a direct injection into subseabed geological formations through a flexible riser pipe, and the absence of any stationary sea surface structures at the offshore CO2 injection site. The advantage of ship-based transportation is flexibility in regard to i) multiple CO2 shipping locations and storage sites, ii) multiple injection sites from a large CO2 storage port, and iii) relocation of the injection site resulting from either termination of oil production or the site becoming filled with CO2. That is, ships can easily alter their shipping ports and routes to the offshore injection site(s), depending on requirements.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4043/25861-ms","authors":["Masahiko Ozaki","Naoki Nakazawa","Akira Omata","Masao Komatsu","Hiroki Manabe"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-04-29T20:31:00Z","doi":"10.4043/25861-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.1763165","name":"How Co2 Capture and Storage Can Mitigate Carbon Leakage","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1763165","authors":["Philippe Quirion","Julie Rozenberg","Olivier Sassi","Adrien Vogt-Schilb"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-01-05T15:31:22Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1763165","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/engproc2024075007","name":"Decarbonizing Pakistan’s Cement Sector: The Role of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Technologies","source":"crossref","abstract":"The cement industry accounts for 7% of total greenhouse gas emissions, with Pakistan’s industry emitting 8.9 million tons annually.

The CO2 Storage Resource Catalogue (CSRC) offers a standardised global repository using the CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS) to ensure consistent evaluation of public resource studies. This final CSRC phase encompasses 129 previously unreviewed countries across Asia, Oceania, Africa, South America, and Europe, bringing the total assessed to 186. Findings reveal an urgent need for project-level evaluations to unlock storage potential. While global CO2 storage resources exceed 14,000 gigatonnes (Gt), most are classified as Undiscovered or Sub-Commercial. Only 3.1 Gt (less than 0.024%) is linked to commercial projects, and just seven countries report any commercial resource. Asia and Oceania remain underrepresented, with over 65% of countries in this cycle lacking publicly available storage assessments. This gap limits investor confidence and slows CCS’s progress. Yet, Asia is well-positioned to lead CCS, given its industrial scale, rapid energy transition, and growing policy support. For instance, Malaysia’s recent CCUS bill signals a growing momentum for deployment. This study presents the most comprehensive global storage assessment to date, offering essential insights for policymakers, investors, and industry stakeholders.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202573059","authors":["S.A.

However, there is a lack of understanding of the potential and costs of CCS technology in the WtE industry, particularly from the perspective of facility. Given with this situation, a facility-level integrated assessment model including CCS source-sink matching optimization model and tech-economic assessment model was developed in this study to reveal the application potential and costs of CCS technology in China's WtE industry, and to quantify the impacts of different incentive policies on CCS technology deployment. The results showed that matching WtE facilities with nearby carbon sinks enables significant CO2 reductions, ranging from 0.3 Gt annually to a cumulative 6.9 Gt over the facilities’ operational lifetimes. The emission reduction costs for all WtE facilities range from -612.9 to 506.5 CNY/t CO2, with an average profit of 412.5 CNY/t CO2 when considering enhanced oil recovery (EOR). However, saline aquifer storage demands robust policy incentives due to limited direct economic benefits. Facilities with larger capacities and longer remaining lifespans are most cost-effective for CCS retrofitting. Spatial analysis underscores geographical disparities in CCS potential, with eastern coastal regions displaying greater feasibility due to higher WtE density and proximity to carbon sinks. Among incentive measures, waste disposal fee subsidies and feed-in tariffs exhibit varying efficiency, while carbon market mechanisms show potential for long-term sustainability. To promote the application of CCS technology and exert its emission reduction effect, a collaborative strategy combining market-driven carbon pricing and government subsidies should be adopted in the future, and priority should be given to the retrofitting of high-capacity and long-life facilities.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100364","authors":["Kang Zhou","Jiayue Zhang","Mao Xu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-09T00:23:54Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100364","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1088/2058-7058/25/05/24","name":"UK co-ordinates research on carbon capture and storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"A new £13m centre to co-ordinate the UK's research into carbon capture and storage (CCS) is to be set up at the University of Edinburgh.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2058-7058/25/05/24","authors":["Kulvinder Singh Chadha"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-09-19T17:50:51Z","doi":"10.1088/2058-7058/25/05/24","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/b11439-4","name":"CCS Deployment Status, Regional Applicability and Stakeholders","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/b11439-4","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-01-17T15:14:12Z","doi":"10.1201/b11439-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acssuschemeng.2c06841.s001","name":"Thermodynamic and Economic Analysis of an Ammonia Synthesis Process Integrating Liquified Natural Gas Cold Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.2c06841.s001","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-01-25T23:00:34Z","doi":"10.1021/acssuschemeng.2c06841.s001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781032726366-10","name":"Decarbonizing Global Industry","source":"crossref","abstract":"The urgent need to decarbonize the global industrial sector has become increasingly apparent in the battle against climate change.

Numerous technologies are available for CCSU including physical, chemical, and biological routes. The aim of this study is to explore the potential of CCSU technologies, specifically focusing on the use of microorganisms based on their well-established metabolic part. By investigating these biological pathways, we aim to develop sustainable strategies for climate management and biofuel production. One of the key novelties of this study lies in the utilization of microorganisms for CO 2 fixation and conversion, offering a renewable and efficient method for addressing carbon emissions. Algae, with its high growth rate and lipid contents, exhibits CO 2 fixation capabilities during photosynthesis. Similarly, methanogens have shown efficiency in converting CO 2 to methane by methanogenesis, offering a viable pathway for carbon sequestration and energy production. In conclusion, our study highlights the importance of exploring biological pathways, which significantly reduce carbon emissions and move towards a more environmentally friendly future. The output of this review highlights the significant potential of CCSU models for future sustainability.

The paper has not been peer reviewed. _ Among various CO2 sequestration methods, mineral trapping is recognized for its superior safety and extensive CO2-storage capacity. This study presents a novel methodology for assessing the rapid mineral carbonation of CO2 through geochemical interactions with carbon-, magnesium-, and iron-rich minerals abundant in geological formations. The approach and findings of the complete paper reveal that carbon storage can be successfully implemented in a matter of hours under laboratory conditions even at atmospheric pressure, effectively bridging a significant gap in the literature where experimental investigation of mineral carbonation has not been extensively explored. Introduction Because carbon mineralization in reservoir rocks might take thousands of years, this type of CO2 storage has been almost neglected in the literature except for a few studies where the primary focus of the experiments was merely the investigation of the alterations in the rock petrophysical and mechanical properties because of CO2 injection. This study presents a novel approach to investigate carbon mineralization from different perspectives, including quantitative evaluation of carbon uptake by different calcium- and magnesium-rich minerals contained in the composition of most formation rocks at various experimental conditions such as temperature, heating rate, and influence of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the aqueous phase on CO2 storage on the surface of the mineral. Furthermore, apart from evaluating the carbon-uptake values, the contribution of CO2 exposure to the alteration of the surface void space of the mineral sample with and without an aqueous phase has been studied extensively. Materials and Methods After an extensive literature review, four magnesium-, calcium-, and iron-rich minerals were selected for CO2 exposure under various conditions: olivine, dolomite, gypsum, and magnetite. Table 1 of the complete paper provides the physical characteristics of these minerals, along with their potential reactions to CO2 exposure and temperature increases. Two water samples, distilled water and formation brine collected from the Delaware Basin, were used to evaluate the effect of the aqueous phase presence and TDS of the selected minerals on carbon-uptake values. A comprehensive methodology was established to investigate the effects of temperature, heating rate, and aqueous-phase presence on carbon uptake at atmospheric pressure within a period of less than 1 hour (Fig. 1). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were performed. The samples, either as pure minerals or mixed with distilled water or brine, were subjected to CO2 injection while being heated at different rates and maximum temperatures. The energy changes during CO2 reactions were recorded. A novel approach combining TGA/DSC and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry analyses was developed to calculate carbon uptake after CO2 exposure. To validate these values, results were cross-checked and normalized using stable elements unaffected by CO2 exposure.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/0925-0023-jpt","authors":["Chris Carpenter"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-01T00:02:42Z","doi":"10.2118/0925-0023-jpt","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5194/se-2019-45","name":"Uncertainty in regional estimates of capacity for carbon capture and storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract.

The result is applicable to single values of storage capacity of regional potential, but not to detailed studies of a single storage site.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/se-2019-45","authors":["Mark Wilkinson","Debbie Polson"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-04-02T04:53:17Z","doi":"10.5194/se-2019-45","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-443-15761-5.00010-7","name":"Applications toward decarbonization, net zero, and energy transition efforts","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-443-15761-5.00010-7","authors":["Jorge Saldana"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-09T08:37:12Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-443-15761-5.00010-7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.3365585","name":"The Role of Industrial Carbon Capture and Storage (Ccs) in Emission Mitigation","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract not provided to SSRN.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3365585","authors":["Jessica Farrell","Jennifer Morris","Haroon Kheshgi","Hans Thomann","Sergey Paltsev","Howard Herzog"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-10-27T08:02:41Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3365585","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4324/9781003461067-4","name":"From 2003 to 2015: “high hopes, repeatedly dashed”","source":"crossref","abstract":"Twenty-five years after the first idea, CCS had finally arrived at a place of prominence, if not acceptance.

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), a class of highly porous crystalline materials composed of metal ions and organic linkers, have emerged as promising candidates for CO₂ capture due to their exceptional surface area, tunable pore structures, and versatile chemical functionalities. This study focuses on the development and evaluation of novel MOFs designed to enhance CO₂ adsorption capacity, selectivity, and stability under practical operating conditions. Various MOF structures were synthesized using environmentally friendly methods and characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis. Carbon capture performance was assessed using gas adsorption studies under different temperature and pressure conditions. The synthesized MOFs demonstrated high CO₂ uptake capacities, excellent selectivity over nitrogen, and improved regeneration efficiency across multiple adsorption–desorption cycles. Functionalization with amine groups further enhanced CO₂ affinity through strong chemical interactions. The findings indicate that tailored MOF architectures can significantly improve carbon capture efficiency while maintaining structural integrity and recyclability. These results highlight the potential of advanced MOF materials as sustainable and scalable solutions for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and supporting global efforts toward carbon neutrality. Further optimization and pilot-scale investigations are recommended to facilitate industrial implementation of MOF-based CCS systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.66715/jsccr/2024.v1.i1.1018","authors":["Amit Thakur"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-26T13:46:16Z","doi":"10.66715/jsccr/2024.v1.i1.1018","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.egypro.2009.02.297","name":"Improving the global carbon capture and storage educational capacity","source":"crossref","abstract":"Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is commonly regarded as a key element in the mitigation of climate change. CCS is of particular interest as it is able to address emissions from fossil fuel power stations, reducing CO2 emissions by 80–90%, without a step change in technology or lifestyle within a country. This is of particular relevance for the large and growing coal fired power plant capacity in the developing world, particularly China and India. If CCS is going to make a significant impact on global CO2 emissions then the development and deployment of the technology over the next 50 to 100 years will have to be significant. Currently however, the global awareness and educational levels around CCS technology is low and mainly confined to the developed world. To meet the requirements of the future CCS industry this educational capacity must be increased. There are a number of key areas relating to the improvement of educational capacity. Information dissemination Undergraduate studies Post-graduate research Professional training program This paper will look at international efforts to address the need to develop educational capacity in CCS. This will include looking at current training programs that exist such as the European CO2ReMoVe Course on CCS, the US–Norway Summer School for CCS, Research Experience in Carbon Sequestration (RECS), and the IEA GHG International Summer School on CCS. All the current programs are aimed at post-graduate stud ents who are currently conducting research in a CCS relevant field and mainly focus on the developed world. The paper will discuss the history and outcomes of such programs to make some assessment of the impact these programs have had in the CCS industry. The paper will then go on to look at ways in which these could be expanded and developed in the future including how current educational programs could be extended or modified to address CCS education amongst undergraduate students. An assessment will als o be made on how these programs could be transferred and initiated in the developing world. Finally the paper will go on to propose some new ways to improve CCS educational capacity for students around the world.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2009.02.297","authors":["Brendan Beck","John Gale"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2009-04-09T04:46:54Z","doi":"10.1016/j.egypro.2009.02.297","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.toxlet.2013.05.197","name":"Toxicological risk assessment in carbon capture and storage technology","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.toxlet.2013.05.197","authors":["Marcus Hillebrand","Stephan Pflugmacher","Axel Hahn"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2013-08-13T02:52:05Z","doi":"10.1016/j.toxlet.2013.05.197","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1071/rs14018","name":"Carbon capture and storage: the biological potential","source":"crossref","abstract":"A contribution to the symposium on Victoria’s energy future.

Two CCS projects are currently operating: Gorgon and the Otway CCS project. The Gorgon and Jansz-Io fields contain approximately 14% carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 is brought to shore at Barrow Island and injected into the Dupuy Formation saline aquifer at a depth of 2500 m. While the project has experienced delays with start-up and operational issues, to July 2021 nearly 5 MMt of CO2 had been injected. The Otway CCS Project is a research facility used to study subsurface CO2 storage and behaviour within saline aquifers and depleted reservoirs. Since the start of the project in 2007 a total of 95 000 t of CO2 has been stored. Final Investment Decision was taken for the Moomba CCS project on 1 November 2021 and for the Leigh Creek Urea project in March 2021. In addition, feasibility studies are being carried out across multiple projects within Australia including the South West and Mid-West Projects in the Perth Basin, CarbonNet in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley and Gippsland Basin and the Moonie oil field EOR, Integrated Surat Basin Project and the ATP 2062-P Buckland Basalt projects in the Bowen-Surat Basin. A CCS hub at Bayu-Undan is being assessed as a possible option to reduce the carbon footprint of the Barossa, Caldita and Evans Shoals projects, and feasibility studies are underway into large-scale multi-user CCS hubs near both Darwin and Karratha.

Mineral trapping of CO₂ recently emerged as one of the most efficient and lowest-risk approaches for long-term CO₂ sequestration. Given the high reactivity of ultramafic lithologies with CO₂, their potential for large-scale mineralization warrants further investigation. In addition to their capacity for CO₂ sequestration, ultramafic massifs are recognized as a potential source of natural hydrogen (H₂) through serpentinization. This dual functionality—CO₂ mineralization and H₂ generation—positions ultramafic lithologies as critical components in the emerging hydrogen economy and decarbonization strategies. This article provides a comprehensive review of the current understanding of the processes governing natural hydrogen (H₂) generation and carbon dioxide (CO₂) mineralization across various ultramafic lithotypes. Although these processes can occur concurrently, the degree of mineral dissolution, oxidation, and subsequent precipitation exhibits substantial variability depending on the lithology. Moreover, the optimal temperature ranges for H₂ generation and CO₂ mineralization differ, further influencing their coupling potential. A viable window for dual functionality appears to involve oxidation–reduction with CO₂-saturated water, which liberates Mg 2+ and Fe 2+ . Subsequently, Mg 2+ reacts with excessive CO₂ to precipitate carbonate minerals, while Fe 2+ is oxidized to produce H₂. Laboratory experiments demonstrate that specific ultramafic lithotypes enriched in magnesium-bearing mineral phases (e.g. brucite, forsterite, serpentine) are favorable for CO₂ mineralization. Additionally, incorporation of Fe 2+ within these mineral phases during stages of serpentinization would be favorable for H₂ production. Mineralogical alterations induced by serpentinization and carbonation processes are characterized by distinct physical and geochemical signatures. These alterations result in significant variations in magnetic susceptibility, rock density, seismic wave velocity, and volatile content. Such measurable changes provide critical diagnostic tools for developing an integrated exploration framework aimed at identifying favorable zones, or \"sweet spots,\" for CO₂ mineralization and H₂ generation within ultramafic lithologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100481","authors":["Mahmoud Leila","Randy Hazlett","Paul Mathews George","Isabelle Moretti","Zhaksylyk Kabashev","Milovan Fustic"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-08T15:14:08Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100481","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/icue55325.2022.10113466","name":"Opportunities of Carbon Capture and Utilization in Thailand's Industries Toward Carbon Neutrality 2050","source":"crossref","abstract":"The Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) is one of the plausible mitigation technologies, expected to support the limiting global warming temperature.

One such activity is carbon capture and storage (CCS). In this paper we explore such activities with specific focus on the installed primary well barrier element, i.e., the cement sheath, including application, and performance as such in a dynamically stressed carbon dioxide (CO2) environment. It is well known that under certain conditions, Portland cement can be adversely affected by CO2, although the impact on set cement will vary with conditions such as fluid salinity, temperature, pressure, and permeability of the set material. Based on several years of concept evolution, a specialized cement system has been developed that not only has intrinsic resistance to CO2 degradation but adds the functionality of self-healing. In this context, small microfractures or microannuli may be sealed over time when the cement system is exposed to CO2. This system was qualified following extensive CO2 exposure where the mechanical properties were assessed before and after testing. This step was added to ensure the set cement maintained integrity over time, including during pressure and temperature changes/cycles during CO2 injection. Following consultation and close collaboration with the operator, the design of the self-healing CO2 resistant cement system was accepted with optimal results, based on field conditions. The results of the final design will be presented in this paper, including those related to the iterations necessary to tailor the required mechanical properties to prevent failure caused by stress-related cracking. The self-healing action will also be presented. Upon implementation in the field, the specialized CO2 self-healing cement system was transported offshore and handled at the rig with no unforeseen challenges. This bolstered the practice of conducting a thorough prejob risk assessment. A detailed operational program was prepared, permitting the cement slurry to be mixed and placed without incident. From a post-job perspective, validation of the annular barrier is crucial, so wireline cement bond logging was conducted. The log outcome exceeded the minimum criteria for a barrier as dictated by the latest NORSOK D-010 (2021) requirements. We present the first-ever implementation of a newly developed self-healing CO2 resistant cement system in the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). As the industry places more emphasis on constructing wells or repurposing existing wells, the availability and application of this type of technology becomes more important. The importance increases as the industry seeks to achieve global sustainability goals. Establishing long-term wellbore integrity and maintaining the stored CO2 in the formation for perpetuity is paramount in achieving these challenging objectives.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4043/34674-ms","authors":["John S.

While thermal amine-based CCS technologies are among the most established, they face challenges such as high energy consumption and amine degradation. This has driven interest in alternative electrochemical approaches that promise greater energy efficiency. This study compares the performance of two advanced CCS technologies: molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) and electrochemically mediated amine regeneration (EMAR). Optimized configurations for both systems were developed, and their energy performance and lifecycle costs were evaluated. The EMAR system was modeled using mass and energy balance equations , reaction equilibrium constants , and ionic activity models, and the MCFC system was based on electrochemical principles and Gibbs free energy minimization . Models were validated for accuracy before conducting a comprehensive lifecycle cost analysis and parametric studies . These studies assessed the impact of CO₂ concentration in emission sources and system design parameters on carbon capture work and life cycle costs. At a comparable minimum energy consumption of 72.6 kJ/molCO 2 for both systems, MCFC demonstrated lower capture costs (71–85 $/ton) compared to EMAR (90.4–91.2 $/ton). Under a minimum cost scenario of 91 $/ton, MCFC achieved carbon capture work between 12.5–65 kJ/molCO 2 , whereas EMAR operated consistently within the range of 72–72.6 kJ/molCO 2 . The results highlight MCFC superior energy efficiency and cost advantages, while EMAR offers operational stability. These findings underline the potential of both technologies for advancing CCS, though their feasibility may vary with fluctuations in electricity and natural gas prices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2025.103097","authors":["Ata Chitsaz","Morteza Khalilian","Amirhossein Hasanzadeh"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-27T14:53:34Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jcou.2025.103097","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4590800","name":"Comparative Multi-Aspect Study of Two Scenarios and Optimization of the Biomass-Based Cogeneration System Integrated with the Carbon Capture and Utilization Technology","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4590800","authors":["Ehsan Akrami","Sh.

It represents various pathways that utilise CO2 as a feedstock in process systems or otherwise for the generation of value-added commodities. The CO2 used can be captured from different sources including power plants and industrial activities via several existing carbon capture and separation technologies that ensure a pure and safe CO2 supply. CCU pathways are mainly divided into five wide-ranging categories: CO2 conversion to chemicals and fuels, mineral carbonation, enhanced oil recovery, biological conversion, and direct CO2 utilisation. This study reviews the main CCU pathways and highlights their intra-sectoral and inter-sectoral opportunities within the energy water and food (EWF) systems, which is an important resource management concept. It also discusses the global status of CCU operational projects, research and development efforts directed toward CCU deployment, and important decision-making directions when integrating CCU with the EWF nexus. This review highlights that CCU pathways provide several cross-sectoral opportunities within the EWF sectors, by allaying resource competition between sectors and proposing co/tri-integrated solutions for securing EWF resources. Future efforts in this regard should be directed towards studying the EWF nexus within CCU routes in a comprehensive, quantitative, and holistic approach to identify and measure all trade-offs and synergies within EWF sectors, and to optimise CCU supply chains.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2020.101432","authors":["Ikhlas Ghiat","Tareq Al-Ansari"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-01-14T01:18:29Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jcou.2020.101432","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.54097/rs28cm11","name":"The Current Status and Future Prospects of Carbon Capture, Carbon Transportation, And Carbon Utilization Technologies in Chinese Coal-Fired Power Plants Within the Context of Dual Carbon Goals","source":"crossref","abstract":"Carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) constitute vital measures for achieving net emissions reduction in China. Against the backdrop of the “dual carbon” initiative in China, this paper meticulously examines and analyzes the key technological principles, merits and demerits, and bottlenecks associated with CCUS carbon capture in the country’s thermal power plants at the current stage. It combines the prevailing industrial application status and the future development trajectory of pertinent technologies with considerations of industrial economic benefits and business models. Building upon this analysis, the paper summarizes the application status of CCUS technology in China’s thermal power plant industry and presents future prospects. On the technological front, the three capture methods grapple with the challenge of high costs. Therefore, there is a need to intensify efforts in developing low-cost and efficient carbon capture materials, as well as researching and practically applying low-cost oxygen generation technology. Economically, CCUS technology currently faces high costs, low returns, and certain commercial barriers, placing China in a demonstrative business model stage. To overcome these challenges and realize the economic benefits of CCUS technology, government incentives and technological innovation are imperative. These measures aim to reduce the overall cost of CCUS technology, stimulate the scale development, and foster commercialization, ultimately contributing to the achievement of China’s carbon emission reduction targets.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54097/rs28cm11","authors":["Yao Fu","Yibo Wang","Tongyang Zheng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-18T18:00:57Z","doi":"10.54097/rs28cm11","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.146Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2166/9781789061796_0001","name":"Toward a net zero circular water economy","source":"crossref","abstract":"The water sector is in the middle of a paradigm shift from focusing on treatment and meeting discharge permit limits to integrated operation that also enables a circular water economy via water reuse, resource recovery, and system level planning and operation.

This study proposed a dual moving bed reactor configuration for the calcium looping (CaL) process, aiming to improve CO 2 capture efficiency and reduce the energy consumption. A multistage thermodynamic equilibrium model was developed to simulate the gas-solid countercurrent reactive flow pattern. A comparative study was conducted between the proposed dual moving bed (DMB) CaL system and the conventional dual fluidized bed (DFB) configuration. At an R Ca/ C = 4, the gas-solid countercurrent moving bed carbonator can achieve a CO 2 capture efficiency exceeding 95 %, an improvement of over 3 % compared to the fluidized bed system operating at 650 °C. Internal countercurrent heat exchange of the MB carbonator increases the solid outlet temperature by approximately 60 °C, consequently reducing the calciner’s fuel consumption by 5.04 %. The gas-solid countercurrent flow in the calciner improved internal heat integration and further decreased fuel demand by 13.71 %. Thus, the DMB CaL system attained a calciner-specific energy consumption of 3.61 GJ/t CO 2 , representing a 19.78 % reduction from the DFB CaL system. When integrated into a coal-fired power plant, the specific energy consumption for CO 2 avoided (SPECCA) is 2.40 GJ/t CO 2 , an 8.40 % decrease compared to the DFB CaL process.

This study investigates the evolution of mudstone caprock sealing capacity under CO2–mechanical coupling, integrating experimental rock mechanics with fluid–solid coupling numerical simulations. Laboratory experiments reveal that caprock permeability exhibits strong stress sensitivity, decreasing exponentially with increasing effective stress. The stress sensitivity coefficient is highly dependent on initial pore pressure and porosity, being greatest under low-pore-pressure and high-porosity conditions. Furthermore, permeability loss during loading is partially irreversible due to plastic deformation. Numerical simulations, conducted using an integrated Petrel + Visage + Eclipse workflow, quantify the influence of caprock physical and mechanical properties on sealing capacity during CO2 injection. The results demonstrate that vertical total stress increases with increasing porosity, Young’s modulus, and permeability, with permeability exerting the most significant control. Conversely, vertical effective stress decreases with increases in these parameters, with porosity causing the largest variation. We conclude that lower caprock permeability and porosity are most critical for enhancing sealing integrity, while a higher Young’s modulus improves mechanical stability. These findings provide a theoretical basis and practical methodology for evaluating caprock sealing capacity and ensuring the secure storage of CO2.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr13123863","authors":["Hao Wu","Quanqi Dai","Rui Wang","Yinbang Zhou","Yunzhao Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-03T11:29:30Z","doi":"10.3390/pr13123863","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/d2re90007f","name":"Introduction to CO\n                    <sub>2</sub>\n                    capture, utilization and storage (CCUS)","source":"crossref","abstract":"Qiang Wang, Heriberto Pfeiffer, Rose Amal, and Dermot O'Hare introduce the Reaction Chemistry &amp; Engineering themed collection on CO 2 capture, utilization and storage (CCUS).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d2re90007f","authors":["Qiang Wang","Heriberto Pfeiffer","Rose Amal","Dermot O'Hare"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-02-03T10:22:59Z","doi":"10.1039/d2re90007f","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2118/138205-ms","name":"Investigation of CO2 Diffusivity in Heavy Oil Using X-Ray Computer-Assisted Tomography Under Reservoir Conditions","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Since the 1950’s, the use of carbon dioxide to increase heavy oil recovery has attract more attention from industry and laboratory research. The injection of carbon dixode has shown technical and economical advantages for enhancing heavy oil and bitumen recovery, because it can effectively reduce viscosity under the reservoir conditions. When carbon dioxide is injected into the reservoir, it partially dissolves into the heavy oil and mass transfer is the first mechanism to occur. Consequently, the accurate prediction and evaluation of the diffusion coefficient of carbon dioxide in heavy oil is one of the key parameters to develop technology for extraction of heavy oil in a feasible and cost-effective way. However, few experimental data for diffusivity of carbon dioxide in heavy oil are available in the literature. Therefore, this study conducted in order to add to the existing the laboratory data for evaluation and calculation of diffusion coefficient of carbon dioxide into heavy oil. In the past, experimental methods used to determine the diffusion coefficient of a gas in heavy oil were conducted under a constant gas pressure, which assumed that oil phase can be contacted with infinite gas at a fixed pressure. In this study, by employing X-ray Computed Assisted Tomography (CAT) and a non-iterative finite volume method, the purpose is to evaluate and compare experimental diffusion coefficients of carbon dioxide in heavy oil under the constant pressure and decaying pressue at the same time. Moreover, investigation of impacts of pressure on diffusion coefficients is conducted. It is found that the diffusvity of carbon dioxide in heavy oil is sensitive to the system pressure. The comparison between carbon dioxide diffusion coefficients under the constant pressure and those measured under the decaying pressrue showed an obvious difference. The results of study are essential for understanding oil recovery through carbon dioxide injection.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/138205-ms","authors":["L. Song","A. Kantzas","J.

Anisotropic Pre-Stack Depth Migration (APSDM) seismic velocities were used to construct low-frequency models for inversion, enabling generation of 3D porosity volumes. A robust QA/QC process integrating sedimentological and petrophysical insights ensured geological consistency, while shallow well logs and available 4D seismic data enhanced calibration and model accuracy.

Effective tracking of the geological carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) storage is very important in ensuring the safety of the environment and adherence to storage rules. This review discusses the classic geophysical techniques such as 4D seismic, electromagnetic (EM), and gravimetry and their abilities are compared to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which is an emerging technology that improves monitoring on a microscopic scale. Conventional methods are appropriate to map the movement of plumes and structural variations but are not good enough to see important processes such as residual trapping, changes in wettability, and fluid dynamics at the pore-scale. Conversely, NMR quantitatively describes fluid interactions and phase behavior at the pore level and is able to give quantitative information on CO 2 saturation and trapping processes. This review shed light on how NMR, under a combination with conventional geophysical methods, can form a hybrid monitoring system that can offer the pore-scale accuracy of the monitoring approach, and the field-scale extent of the monitoring framework. Through machine learning, built-in workflows now can combine seismic, pressure, and fluid chemistry data increasing predictive accuracy and uncertainty quantification. This hybrid monitoring method will greatly enhance the credibility of the CO 2 storage measurements through the real-time identification of the possible leakage and the reservoir maintenance. Future CO 2 storage projects can realize this by placing NMR in greater monitoring networks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100561","authors":["Zahrah Ghannam","Mazin Osman","Omer Mohamed Bakri","Mohamed Mahmoud","Muhammad Shahzad Kamal","Rahul Gajbhiye","Ahmed Abdulhamid Mahmoud"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-25T22:58:43Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100561","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-030-59061-1_6","name":"Reduction of Carbon Dioxide Emission into the Atmosphere: The Capture and Storage (CCS) Option","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-59061-1_6","authors":["Michele Aresta","Angela Dibenedetto"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-01-04T21:03:14Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-030-59061-1_6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.202522017","name":"Guidance on Subsea Barrier and Isolation Philosophy for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Systems","source":"crossref","abstract":"Summary IOGP’s Subsea Committee kicked off a new work stream specifically focused on subsea CCS.

These techniques typically involve removal of CO2 from a feedstock before combustion is completed, involving its conversion into a synthesis gas (syngas) containing predominantly hydrogen and carbon monoxide with a subsequent reaction of CO and H2O to CO2 and hydrogen using a water-gas shift reactor. The CO2 can then be separated from this gas mixture using solvent extraction. The technique offers the potential of lower-cost CCS as the base power generator is the combined-cycle gas turbine, which has a thermal efficiency of ~62% in the latest technology plants compared with ~50% in the latest steam-cycle technology. A key technology choice is whether the gasification of the feedstock fuel is done with pure oxygen or with air. It is shown that both methods offer good efficiencies, but gasification with air produces a H2/N2 gas mixture, whereas with oxygen nearly pure H2 gas is produced.

Coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other gases constitute the majority of the fuel used to generate utility-scale electricity in the US. Global warming is a result of widespread emissions of greenhouse gases, particularly CO2, from the combustion of fossil fuels. However, due to their lower carbon footprint, biomass-based heat and power generation are expanding quickly, aiding in the achievement of the target of zero carbon emissions. In this study, the life cycle assessment (LCA) of a 100 MW subcritical waste coal and biomass co-fired power plant with and without carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies has been assessed considering raw material extraction, transportation, power generation, and associated inputs and outputs. The findings demonstrate that increasing the biomass ratio reduced global warming potential (GWP), and incorporating CCS further decreased the GWP. However, higher biomass ratios and CCS integration led to increased eutrophication, ozone layer depletion, acidification, and other impact potentials.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1115/imece2023-112790","authors":["Surja Sarkar","Prakash Bhoi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-05T19:48:48Z","doi":"10.1115/imece2023-112790","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s11356-025-37368-2","name":"Strategies for mitigating carbon dioxide emissions: advanced carbon capture and storage technologies","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is vital for cutting CO₂ emissions and tackling climate change. The CCS innovations of the last decades can be categorized based on the post- or pre-combustion capture, oxy-fuel combustion, and chemical looping combustion (CLC) approaches used. These techniques are primarily aimed towards capturing CO 2 that would be emitted from industrial sources or power plants in separate, manicured environments prior to its release into the atmosphere. For instance, post-combustion capture can be applied to coal-fired sources to extract CO₂ from flue gases, whereas pre-combustion technologies, as the name implies, remove CO₂ before fuel is burned and are typically used for gasification processes. However, despite their promise, high energy demand, large implementing costs, and long-term storage risks stay as major hurdles to mass adoption. The different levels of technology development for carbon capture and storage and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) have made significant developments for three decades, representing the continuing interests of scientists and engineers, but also have significant shortcomings in terms of efficiency, economy, and environmental impacts. This research provides evidence of the importance of CCS for reducing CO₂ emissions, a critical component in meeting global sustainability targets, especially in hard-to-decarbonize sectors. The review differs from earlier studies in that it reviews current technological innovations and assesses their performance while also recommending pathways through existing barriers to large-scale implementation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-025-37368-2","authors":["Maria Safdar","Aqsa Mushtaq","Samiullah Akram"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s11356-025-37368-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/est2.677","name":"Utilization of carbon‐black industry waste to synthesize electrode material for supercapacitors","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Solid waste utilization in synthesizing porous carbon materials for supercapacitor electrodes has been a fast‐progressing research domain in past decades.

In this work, further storage configurations have been assessed, addressing the inefficiencies identified in previous work. In particular, the following cases have been investigated: directly fired calciners with varying make-up flow rate to minimize the purge stream energy loss, directly fired calciners with improved heat integration to reduce the calciner syngas demand and an indirectly fired calciner to minimize the ASU penalty. Additionally, an alternative storage integration strategy after the Selexol unit has been compared both with respect to its performance and its impact on the base IGCC plant design and operation. To this end, process simulation was undertaken in Aspen Plus™. As demonstrated, the CaO based energy storage system can be effectively used to modulate the IGCC net power output by ±20–25%, while maintaining the capture capacity of 90% of the CO2-emissions. Improvement of the particle reactivity and the internal heat recuperation were found to impact the round-trip efficiency the most.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1115/imece2014-38113","authors":["Annelies Vandersickel","Alexander Mitsos","Randall P.

The configurations of the different scenarios are used to analyse the implications of CCS network development hold up, e.g. for a part of the network to become available at a later period, or for the CO2 emission growth to occur at a later time in the planning horizon. The simulation results illustrate the interplay between postponing CCS network infrastructure investment and generating gains of scale in an existing network.

The paper has not been peer reviewed. The Southwest Partnership on Carbon Sequestration (SWP) is one of seven large-scale demonstration projects sponsored by the US Department of Energy. The SWP has a goal of permanently sequestering more than 1 million t of carbon dioxide (CO2) in an active enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) project in a mature waterflood in the Anadarko Basin. Goals of the project include optimizing the balance between EOR and storage, ensuring storage permanence, and developing best practices for carbon storage using man-made CO2. Introduction The goal of the project is to inject at least 1 million t of CO2 into an active oil field undergoing EOR over a 4- to 5-year period. All CO2 used in the project is anthropogenic and would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere. Much of this injected CO2 will be trapped permanently in the subsurface. A primary objective is to quantify CO2 storage and better understand conditions and characteristics that promote such storage. Background. The project site is located in the Anadarko Basin, a deep structural basin approximately 70,000 sq miles in size and primarily located in the northern Texas panhandle and western Oklahoma and extending into eastern Colorado and western Kansas. The basin is a mature oil-and-gas-production province but without access to natural CO2 sources. These factors combine to make the Anadarko an excellent region for combined EOR and carbon-storage projects using anthropogenic CO2. The target formation for the CO2-storage study addressed by this paper is the oil-bearing upper Morrow sandstone, informally designated the Morrow B. The Morrow Formation at Farns worth is an incised valley filled with coarse sandstone that has produced more than 19 million bbl of oil and 44 Bcf of gas. The formation lies at an average depth of 7,750 ft and contains rock with permeability ranging from 10 to 500 md, placing it well within the range needed for CO2 injection and storage. Preliminary estimates of CO2-storage capacity of the Morrow within the Farnsworth Unit (FWU) exceed 25 million t. To date, all CO2 has been delivered from two anthropogenic sources. Much of this injected CO2 is being trapped permanently in the subsurface in the Morrow B formation. The site operator is injecting CO2 in the center well of five-spot well patterns. The project started with three initial patterns in December 2010, and more patterns are to be added as CO2 is purchased and more recycled CO2 becomes available. As of May 2015, there were 13 operating patterns. The plan is to have approximately 25 patterns in operation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/0717-0080-jpt","authors":["Chris Carpenter"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2017-07-24T17:09:59Z","doi":"10.2118/0717-0080-jpt","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/c6cc90469f","name":"Highlights from Carbon Capture and Storage: Faraday Discussion, Sheffield, UK, July 2016","source":"crossref","abstract":"A summary of the three-day Faraday Discussion held in Sheffield on the topic of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/c6cc90469f","authors":["Thomas Hills"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-10-27T09:53:33Z","doi":"10.1039/c6cc90469f","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-030-94846-7_7","name":"Comparing Industrial and Biotechnological Solutions for Carbon Capture and Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"We deal with the current artificial/industrial Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilisation .and Storage (CCUS) solutions and show their power and potential in curtailing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Integrated CCS technology is still under development and has noteworthy challenges, which would be possible to overcome through the implementation of large-scale demonstration projects. In order to assist developing countries to better understand issues related to potential technology deployment, there is a need to start analyzing various numerous challenges facing CCS within the economic and legal context of developing countries and countries in transition. This report is the first effort of the World Bank Group to contribute to a deeper understanding of (a) the integration of power generation with CCS technologies, as well as their costs; (b) regulatory barriers to the deployment of CCS; and (c) global financing requirements for CCS and applicable project finance structures involving instruments of multilateral development institutions. This report does not provide prescriptive solutions to overcome these barriers, since action must be taken on a country-by-country basis, taking account of different circumstances and national policies. Individual governments should decide their priorities on climate change mitigation and adopt appropriate measures accordingly. The analyses presented in this report may take on added relevance, depending on the future direction of international climate negotiations and domestic legal and policy measures in both developed and developing countries, and how they serve to encourage carbon sequestration. We expect that this report will provide insights for policy makers, stakeholders, private financiers, and donors in meeting the challenges of the deployment of climate change mitigation technologies and CCS in particular.

This storage hub could also support regional and international energy companies in obtaining carbon credits.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The development of a CCS hub demands meticulous planning and studies in injectivity, capacity, confinement, economics, and public awareness. UWI and UTT have already taken the first step by initiating the development of a national CO2 Storage Atlas for Trinidad and Tobago—the first of its kind in the Caribbean. Initial theoretical volumetric estimates in depleted oil and gas reservoirs assume that the volume previously occupied by hydrocarbons is available for CO2 storage. This assumption applies to pressure-depleted reservoirs that are not in hydrodynamic contact with aquifers and have not been flooded for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Key technical work included developing a CO2 storage calculator for theoretical estimates under storage conditions and creating workflows with guidelines and tools to derive input data such as bulk rock volume and reservoir properties. Major challenges encountered include delays in accessing data, lack of production data, and reliance on analog data. Funding and international partnerships have been crucial in building local CCS capacity. The next phase involves using reservoir simulation models for effective storage estimates. This paper outlines initial efforts, ongoing developments, and support from the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, including the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries. It also serves as a guide for other nations pursuing CCS programs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5071087","authors":["David Alexander","Raffie Hosein","Andrew Jupiter","Penelope Bradshaw- Niles"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-27T09:50:09Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.5071087","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.egypro.2012.01.278","name":"Carbon Capture and Storage in the Power Industry: Challenges and Opportunities","source":"crossref","abstract":"The application of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the power industry is important for reducing man-made CO 2 emissions.

A major oil company is progressing a portfolio of commercial-scale carbon-capture-and-storage (CCS) demonstration projects covering an array of technologies that target applications of relevance to the wider oil and gas industry. A number of key learnings have been obtained on the technology-deployment and the critical-project- development aspects of the different project phases. This paper provides an overview of these learnings, with a specific focus on the issues faced by CCS-project developers. Introduction Over the last decade, the company, with its partners, has been helping to advance CCS through a series of CCS demonstration projects. The operator’s CCS commercial and project portfolio includes The Quest project, which is the first CCS project of commercial scale in the heavy-oil industry The Peterhead CCS project, which, if realized, could be the world’s first commercial-scale, full-chain project to demonstrate the feasibility of CCS at a gas-fired power station This paper explores in detail the Quest project and the Peterhead project, the latter being currently in the front-end engineering and design phase. The Peterhead CCS Project The company and a UK power provider are developing the Peterhead CCS Project (Fig. 1). The scope of the project includes Operation of an existing gas turbine (GT 13) at the Peterhead Power Station in Aberdeenshire, Scotland A new steam turbine dedicated to low-pressure steam generation Capture of approximately 1 million t/a of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, for a period of 10 to 15 years, from the flue gas in a large concrete absorber tower using the operator’s amine-capture technology Regeneration of the amine in a tower using steam from the power plant Compression and conditioning (oxygen and water removal) of the CO2 Transport of the dense-phase CO2 by an offshore pipeline approximately 100 km in length Injection of the CO2 with the adapted Goldeneye platform and wells Storage in the depleted Goldeneye gas reservoir at a depth of more than 2 km under the floor of the North Sea The objective is that the power plant, combined with the CCS chain, will operate as one integrated low-carbon power-supply chain.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/0716-0089-jpt","authors":["Chris Carpenter"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2017-01-31T20:26:23Z","doi":"10.2118/0716-0089-jpt","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1130/abs/2025se-408730","name":"ASSESSMENT OF THE NORTH AMERICAN MESOZOIC RIFT BASINS FOR CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1130/abs/2025se-408730","authors":["Liz Johnson"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-09T16:04:21Z","doi":"10.1130/abs/2025se-408730","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.46427/gold2024.24598","name":"Recent Advances in Geochemistry for Carbon Dioxide Storage, and Utilization in the Subsurface","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.46427/gold2024.24598","authors":["Rebecca Tyne","Ella Holme","Chris Holdsworth","Rhys Savage"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-17T14:59:06Z","doi":"10.46427/gold2024.24598","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.2025101655","name":"Carbon Capture and Storage: A Comprehensive Screening Assessment and Characterization for Effective Implementation","source":"crossref","abstract":"Summary The successful implementation of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects requires a thorough and integrated assessment at each stage of the value chain, from capture to transport and storage. A comprehensive assessment of a CCS project is key and is a complex task due to several reasons: wide range of actors and factors involved, substantial differences in the type and nature of both actors and factors, and numerous associated uncertainties. Detail screening work, assessment, characterization and integration of all the stakeholders are critical steps in the success of CCS projects. They help identify bottlenecks, pressure change, suitable sites for CO2 storage, evaluate technical and economic feasibility, and minimize environmental and safety risks. By thoroughly assessing geological formations, proximity to emission sources, infrastructure requirements and compatibility, project developers can optimize costs, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure long-term storage security. Moreover, early identification of potential challenges—such as regulatory constraints or public acceptance issues—enables proactive risk management and more effective project planning.

This study evaluates the implications of Singapore’s Carbon Pricing Act and its approved cross-border electricity import plans versus flexible import designs for the year 2035. Using a linear optimization model, scenarios are developed that reflect the planned carbon tax trajectory (up to SGD 50 to SGD 80 per t CO2eq), regulated electricity imports from Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Australia, and the deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in both retrofit and new-build configurations. The results indicate that carbon pricing alone substantially increases system costs while achieving only modest reduction in emissions. At a carbon price of SGD 80 per t CO2eq, retrofitting existing gas turbine plants with carbon capture becomes economically attractive compared to continued payment of emission taxes. Retrofit deployment enables significant emission reduction without prematurely retiring Singapore’s young and large-scale gas-fired generation fleet. Electricity imports reduce emissions further; however, when regulated non-intermittent and minimum load-factor requirements are imposed, system costs rise substantially due to additional storage and overcapacity in regulated exporting systems. Under more flexible import designs, costs are significantly lower, and imports integrate more efficiently with domestic CCS. Overall, retrofit carbon capture remains a key domestic mitigation option, even in scenarios with high import volumes, highlighting its importance within Singapore’s policy and regulatory framework.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.7233475","authors":["Shwe  Sin Han","Thushara Addanki","Tobias Massier","Thomas Hamacher","Shwe Sin Han"],"tags":["Retrofitting","Renewable energy","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Software deployment","Carbon tax"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.7233475","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.2165699","name":"Decisions on Investments in Photovoltaics and Carbon Capture and Storage: A Comparison between Two Different Greenhouse Gas Control Strategies","source":"crossref","abstract":"Decisions of electricity suppliers on investments in low-carbon energy technologies like photovoltaic (PV) and carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) depend on the expected profits or surpluses that can be earned.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has been identified as a potential solution for managing industrial emissions and integrating renewable energy sources. This study examines the role of CCS in Nigeria's energy transition, focusing on its capacity to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, and facilitate the gradual shift to renewable energy. The analysis includes an evaluation of CCS technologies, policy frameworks, and case studies supported by data-driven simulations. Preliminary findings show that CCS can significantly lower emissions in sectors such as gas processing, petroleum refining, and other industries. The study also highlights opportunities to integrate CCS with renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind, to enable sustainable energy storage and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. However, the adoption of CCS in Nigeria is constrained by policy gaps, limited financial incentives, and inadequate regulatory support. The research identifies strategies for accelerating CCS implementation, including retrofitting existing facilities and using depleted oil and gas reservoirs for carbon storage. It also emphasizes the importance of aligning CCS with Nigeria's broader energy transition goals and global climate commitments. Simulations suggest that strategic investments in CCS could lower greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30% by 2035, while promoting economic diversification and creating jobs in clean energy sectors. This paper provides practical recommendations for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers. It highlights the importance of targeted policy reforms, increased investment, and international collaboration in advancing CCS technology.

First, we considered the main potential impacts on the reservoir of CO2 itself, such as mineral dissolution, and salt precipitation due to brine evaporation. Next, we assessed the key potential impacts of impurities, including (further) enhanced mineral dissolution and enhanced precipitation. Enhanced precipitation may result from interactions between injected impurities and reservoir minerals, e.g., when impurities such as SOx cause enhanced dissolution of calcite, followed by the precipitation of CaSO4. In addition, precipitation can also be enhanced by scale formation through direct interactions between the injected impurities and dissolved components in the reservoir brine. Based on this assessment, we identified salt precipitation and scale formation as the key challenges to efficient CO2-injection and storage, requiring further study to de-risk.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.2025644030","authors":["R.

Electricity generation is based on power units utilizing different combustion technologies. A significant part still comprises old units with capacity 185-195 MWe commissioned in early 70s of last century. These pulverized combustion (PC) based units utilize oil shale as a fuel and are operating with subcritical steam parameters, characterizing by relatively low efficiency 26 - 30% (net, LHV based). Due to their low performance, operational issues (intensive fouling of heating surfaces), and remarkable environmental impact, these units were decommissioned or retrofitted with boilers implementing circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) technology in 2004-2005. Implementation of CFBC technology for oil shale combustion significantly reduced both operational issues and environmental impact. With some additional modifications in turbine island allowing to increase rated capacity up to 215 MWe and after increasing steam parameters, the net efficiency of up to 37% was achieved. Consequently, the specific CO2 emissions in the range of 0.99 – 1.05 t/MWhe depending on quality of oil-shale used, was achieved. Recently, the new 300 MWe CFBC based power unit was commissioned. It is operating with subcritical steam parameters: live steam temperature 565 °C and pressure 17 MPa. Net efficiency (LHV based) of that unit is 40 % and specific CO2 emissions up to 0.9 t/MWhe in case of firing only oil shale.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In this study the technical viability of retrofitting oil shale based power generation units with CC is described. In the analysis two CC methods were considered: post-combustion (assuming conventional amine process) and oxy-fuel combustion. Among other CC technologies these processes are at the present time characterized by higher technical readiness level, can be applied for existing units with minimal modifications and are applicable for oil shale fuel with it specifics.&lt;br&gt;Besides power generation, Estonia has for almost 100 years of experience in production of shale oil through thermal decomposition of oil shale kerogen in retorts. Currently, solid heat carrier (SHC) method is the main method used for producing shale oil.

In doing so, CCS could facilitate global carbon abatement efforts. Yet, it remains controversial with high-profile public opposition to particular CCS developments. For instrumental, normative and substantive reasons, it is increasingly recognised that public acceptance of CCS as a vital precondition for its commercial-scale rollout. While much is known about factors influencing public support for CCS, relatively few cross-national studies have so far been undertaken. Here, we present findings from a large-scale international experimental study of public perceptions of CCS, to examine how individual, geographical and informational factors influence support for CCS. In particular, we compare the lens through which CCS is seen – as a ‘techno-fix’ climate change solution, as reusing a waste product (through Carbon Dioxide Utilisation [CDU]), or as part of a systemic approach to climate change mitigation. Pairing CCS with CDU led to higher support for CCS, although information frames interacted with national and individual-level factors. Depending on which CCS lens is chosen, different groups will be more or less likely to support CCS implementation. As with other issues, targeting CCS information to audience values is likely to be more effective than untargeted communication. Our findings also show mentioning (modest) costs of deploying CCS can lead to lower support. Discussing CCS costs should be done in the context of costs of broader energy system transformation and of not mitigating climate change so that the public can deliberate over the relative risks and benefits of CCS and alternatives in the context of broader sustainability pathways.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-019-0217-x","authors":["Lorraine Whitmarsh","Dimitrios Xenias","Christopher R.

CCS primarily involves capturing the CO2 arising from energy-related and industrial sources, treating of the CO2 to remove impurities, and injecting it in a storage site to ensure long-term isolation from the atmosphere. The specific difference in relation to experience with relatively pure CO2 injection is caused by the impurity of the CCS CO2 which will be dictated by the CO2 source and capture technology employed. The aim of this work is to identify an approach to materials selection and corrosion control that can address the specific requirements of a CCS project. Depending on the phase envelope and CO2 composition, separate liquid phases may be formed. It has been identified that these phases can comprise of water (causing CO2 corrosion) or reaction products including strong acids and elemental sulphur. The type of liquids formed and shifts in the phase envelope can significantly influence materials integrity due to corrosion, and impact on the toughness and degradation of polymers. In this paper guidance is provided with a process to select materials and ensure corrosion control. It is recommended to start each project with the identification of the CO2 specification and operating scenarios, including upsets that might occur during the service life. Input is provided that can be used for a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) specific to CO2 transport and injection.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5006/c2022-17726","authors":["J. Sonke","S.J.

Here we consider how to track the interface between two fluids during primary cementing. The main idea is to exploit the density difference between successive fluids pumped in order to design a tracer particle to sit at the interface. Although apparently trivial, such particles must also overcome strong secondary flows in order to remain in the interface. We provide a proof of concept analysis of this situation assuming the displacement involves laminar flows of two Newtonian fluids in a narrow vertical annulus and demonstrate its feasibility.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1115/omae2018-77630","authors":["Ian Frigaard","Amir Maleki"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-09-25T15:31:28Z","doi":"10.1115/omae2018-77630","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/9781788012744-00315","name":"Applications of CCS in the Cement Industry","source":"crossref","abstract":"Cement manufacture is responsible for around 7% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The process is unique in that around two-thirds of the direct CO2 emissions are unavoidable as they come from the process chemistry rather than from fuel combustion. This makes reducing them particularly difficult, and carbon capture and storage is currently the only option that can reduce emissions by the extent required to allow cement manufacture to continue beyond the transition to low CO2-emission economies. Post-combustion capture options, which are similar to those described in Chapter 4, are available. Equally, oxy-fuel combustion is possible. Pre-combustion capture can only deal with one-third of emissions from combustion, and so is generally not considered. Other cement-specific options exist, such as direct separation, and the synergies between calcium looping and cement manufacture are noteworthy. High CO2 intensity coupled with the relatively low price of cement means that CCS is expensive per unit of cement manufactured. The lack of large-scale capture facilities means that the costs are rather uncertain, although several estimates are given in this chapter. A summary of existing pilot plants is provided, the challenges of rolling out carbon capture in the cement sector are discussed, and a way forward is suggested.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/9781788012744-00315","authors":["Thomas P.

The purpose of this technical report is to address this confusion by discussing the state of CCS technological readiness in terms of existing commercial deployments of CO2 capture systems, CO2 transportation pipelines, CO2 injection systems and measurement, monitoring and verification (MMV) systems for CO2 injected into deep geologic structures. To date, CO2 has been captured from both natural gas and coal fired commercial power generating facilities, gasification facilities and other industrial processes. Transportation via pipelines and injection of CO2 into the deep subsurface are well established commercial practices with more than 35 years of industrial experience. There are also a wide variety of MMV technologies that have been employed to understand the fate of CO2 injected into the deep subsurface. The four existing end-to-end commercial CCS projects – Sleipner, Snøhvit, In Salah and Weyburn – are using a broad range of these technologies, and prove that, at a high level, geologic CO2 storage technologies are mature and capable of deploying at commercial scales. Whether wide scale deployment of CCS is currently or will soon be a cost-effective means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is largely a function of climate policies which have yet to be enacted and the public’s willingness to incur costs to avoid dangerous anthropogenic interference with the Earth’s climate. There are significant benefits to be had by continuing to improve through research, development, and demonstration suite of existing CCS technologies. Nonetheless, it is clear that most of the core technologies required to address capture, transport, injection, monitoring, management and verification for most large CO2 source types and in most CO2 storage formation types, exist.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/967229","authors":["James J.

In order to assess the range of CO2 well injectivity, reservoir and completion uncertainties have been taken into account and nodal analysis was performed.

The reforming reaction&amp;apos;s energy is supplied by direct electric heating, saving 35% NG and reducing CO2 emissions by 29%. Convective SMR decreases the electric load on the main e-SMR reactor, achieving a slightly higher thermal efficiency (80.2%) than conventional fuel-fired reforming (78.9%). By incorporating amine-based CO2 capture, CO2 emissions can be cut by 85%, and NG consumption by 50%, while maintaining high energy efficiency (79.4%) with only a 14% increase in capital costs, a favorable comparison to the 80% increase in capital costs for CO2 capture from fuel-fired reforming (69.8% efficiency). This e-SMR process with convective reforming and CO2 capture offers a levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) of 0.281 € Nm-3 H2, significantly lower than the 0.311 € Nm-3 H2 for conventional fuel-fired reforming with CO2 capture. It also has comparable CO2 emissions (1.59 vs. 0.99 kg CO2 emitted per kg H2) but produces less CO2 (6.39 vs. 9.88 kg CO2 produced per kg H2) by using renewable electricity for the SMR. Compared to conventional fuel-fired reforming, this process achieves similar LCOH (0.283 vs. 0.282 € Nm-3 H2) while drastically reducing CO2 emissions (1.59 vs. 8.99 kg CO2 emitted per kg H2).

This early detection and warning technology harnesses the natural forces and processes of chemistry and physics but does not use any electrical power for the monitoring and detection of fluids. Static mechanical structures and the natural buoyancy of escaping fluids of interest are used to gather fluids in the subsea environment where they are detected chemically using specially developed Triggers. By using fluid-specific Triggers, systems respond only to the fluid(s) of interest, not to other fluids typically encountered around subsea assets. When the target fluid has been detected passively, a coded signal beacon (previously dormant) is mechanically released to the ocean surface using self-buoyancy where an alarm is transmitted via satellite and the responsible party alerted. Systems are currently supporting multiple major and independent operators mitigate the risks associated with subsea wells globally.

Up to six different parameters have been tested on different materials. Results are analyzed using a three-tier classification system to rank the influence of each parameter on corrosion severity.

A bottom-up cost inventory covering liquefaction, shipping, pipeline transport, and offshore injection, validated through semi-structured interviews with industry experts, is integrated into a multi-regional input–output (MRIO) model to trace direct and indirect effects on value added (VA), employment, and greenhouse gas emissions across global supply chains. Over a 28-year, three-phase lifetime storing approximately 190 Mt of CO₂, the project generates €1.5–1.6 billion in global VA and 110,000–117,000 job-years, of which €0.4–0.5 billion and 14,000–24,000 job-years accrue to Denmark. Upstream and on-site CO₂ emissions (Scopes 2 and 3) represent 9.3–10.5% of the volume permanently stored; sourcing liquefaction power from low-carbon grids emerges as the most effective lever for reducing this ratio.

Reconciling the world’s ongoing reliance on fossil fuels with the need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is one of our greatest challenges. Canada is taking this challenge seriously with climate change policies that include enhancing our global leadership in advancing one of the most promising technologies for reducing GHG emissions from fossil fuel use: carbon capture and storage (CCS). Federal and provincial governments in Canada are making substantial investments in CCS, committing upwards of CAD 3 billion in public funding towards seven large-scale fully-integrated CCS demonstration projects. The federal ecoENERGY Technology Initiative announced $151 million for the initial engineering and/or pilot stages of seven potential demonstration projects in 2008. The 2009 federal budget created Clean Energy Fund, which included $610 million for CCS demonstrations. The Provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia have also committed funding for demonstrations, in particular $2 billion by Alberta. This public funding will leverage additional investment from industry, for projects that will each capture and store on the order of 1 million tonnes of CO2 per year, coming on-line starting in 2015 or sooner. In order to generate early benefits from these investments, Government of Canada intends to create a knowledge sharing framework for CCS demonstration projects in Canada. The learnings from this first wave of demonstration projects should be disseminated in order to reduce challenges for the next generation of CCS projects and to build competitive advantage. This work will also support and provide input to the knowledge sharing and best practice guidelines being currently developed by Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute (GCCSI). Given that this level of information has not been shared in the past, establishing such a framework will pose several challenges such as concerns regarding the protection of the intellectual property (IP) and commercially sensitive information. Knowledge sharing will also support public engagement and capacity building programs, and it will provide an opportunity to assess the effectiveness and impact of the public investment. This paper will provide an overview and progress to date on the development of knowledge sharing and best practice guidelines in Canada.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2011.02.656","authors":["Milenka Mitrović","Brianne Rossi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2011-04-01T20:13:59Z","doi":"10.1016/j.egypro.2011.02.656","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.egypro.2009.01.211","name":"A comprehensive carbon capture and storage infrastructure model","source":"crossref","abstract":"In this paper we present a spatial optimization model that comprehensively models carbon capture and s torage (CCS) infrastructure, from source -to -sink.

Offshore transport and storage costs by comparison are found to be roughly twice as expensive but t may still be attractive because of easier access to property rights for sub-seafloor storage as well as a simpler regulatory system, and possibly lower MMV requirements, at least in the deep-ocean where pressures and temperatures would keep the CO{sub 2} negatively buoyant.

This simple, easily applied approach can be used to quantify fine-scale stratigraphic heterogeneity within any continuous numerical datasets such as well logs. When combined with other key numerical parameters from stratigraphic intervals (e.g., thickness, other statistical parameters) we can begin to understand relationships between geospatial/subsurface location and heterogeneity. This analysis has been applied to wells intersecting CCUS license block boundaries, with hypothesised relationships between heterogeneity and underlying geology being explored. As a heterogeneity measure, delta variance has potential impacts at a variety of subsurface scales, including basin down to reservoir.

As part of an Oil and Gas Operator's strategy to address this issue, a roadmap has been developed to capture and store carbon dioxide (CCS). This paper provides insights into CCS projects that employ a Storage Development Plan (SDP), which involves separation of CO2 from existing oil and gas producing fields with high CO2 content, and then reinjecting it into reservoirs with essential caprock geological seals for containment. Injector wells, either newly drilled or retro-fitted from existing fields, will be utilized to inject and store the produced CO2. Ensuring the integrity of all wells is crucial for preventing CO2 leakage and ensuring long-term containment sustainability along the wellpath, including both existing Plug and Abandonment (P&amp;A) wells and active ones that intersect the chosen CO2 storage reservoir, as illustrated in Figure 1 The development wells within the identified depleted gas field have exceeded 30 years in age and were originally designed without considering the presence of high CO2 concentrations in the reservoir. The possibility of leakage along the wellbores due to accelerated corrosion, channeling, and cracks cannot be overlooked and necessitates thorough evaluation. A meticulous process has been implemented to assess the viability of converting existing producers into CO2 injectors. Discrepancies between the prescribed designs for gas production wells and CO2 injection wells dictate whether they can be repurposed for CO2 injection or need to be decommissioned. The determination of the optimal number of required CO2 injectors involves a screening process from fat to slim design approaches, utilizing corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) materials and CO2-resistant cement to ensure lifecycle integrity. Maintaining an optimum angle between 40 to 60 degrees and sustaining the necessary injection pressure at the required rate for injecting supercritical CO2 over a 25-year period are critical considerations. Additionally, challenges during well execution, such as anti-collision risks and total loss scenarios while drilling in carbonate reservoirs, must be addressed. Completion design focuses on minimizing the number of completion components to reduce pressure differentials and potential leak paths from the tubing hanger down to the lower completion's end. Well design optimization from fat to slim has been conducted based on sensitivity analysis outputs from Software. Monitoring the well integrity lifecycle involves utilizing the latest-generation fiber optic technology for in-country value as well as acquiring seismic data for CO2 plume development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/219653-ms","authors":["Mahesh S Picha"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-06T00:11:26Z","doi":"10.2118/219653-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.20147271","name":"Carbon Capture and Storage: a new challenge for geoscientists.","source":"crossref","abstract":"Глобальное потепление – одна из серьезнейших проблем, с которыми столкнулось человечество в 21 веке.

Maximizing profit from oil recovery and maximizing the amount of carbon dioxide stored in the reservoir are competing goals and both will be important in the future. Both depend on large number of parameters and the strategy used to flood the reservoir. A very large number of simulations are required to understand and evaluate different strategies for each reservoir and for each realization of the properties of a particular reservoir. In this study the effects of variety of flood design variables on both EOR and sequestration objectives were investigated in sandstone and carbonate reservoirs separately. Experimental design and the method of response surfaces were used as tools to perform this study in a systematic and efficient way. Design parameters such as well spacing, different injection and production schemes, various well control techniques, and different mobility control methods were selected for study. By applying fractional factorial design and D-optimal methods, simulation cases were selected to study the effect of the parameters for each scenario. The amount of CO2 stored at the end of the oil recovery process and the net present value of the each sensitivity case were considered as the two decision criteria. Economic analysis for all of these cases were performed based on the necessity to account for CO2 storage factors such as capture and transportation costs, and possible CO2 tax credits for storage. Response surface analysis was utilized to determine the best strategy based upon these decision criteria for different type of the reservoirs. The result using this approach was similar to the result from an exhaustive simulation study, but took much less computation time and effort. An approach that is both realistic and feasible, such as the one used in this study, will be needed for future simulation studies because of the increasing importance of CO2 geological storage, the extremely wide variety of reservoir conditions of potential interests, the need to understand and reduce uncertainties, the need to find better operational strategies, and the uncertainty in future economic and regulatory incentives.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139738-ms","authors":["Y.

The three main capture technologies are (1) postcombustion capture, (2) integrated gasification combined cycle, and (3) oxyfuel. All three (first-generation) technologies are associated with higher generation costs with energy penalties of approximately 25%. Current research is focused on cost reduction across the full range of technology. Theoretically, any captured CO 2 can be stored in the geological subsurface, in oceans, or it can be used for mineral carbonation or for industrial uses. Realistically, capture from large point-source emitters such as high-CO 2 natural gas production or power stations (to a lesser extent liquefied natural gas [LNG] plants, mineral processing plants, or cement plants) coupled with geological storage is the most likely large-scale commercial implementation of CCS where projects have four phases: (1) site selection and development, (2) operations, (3) site closure, and (4) postclosure stewardship. Site selection includes assessment that focuses on characterizing injectivity, storage capacity, and containment security. This then dictates the purpose and design of monitoring and the particular choice of the technology dependent on the role it plays in managing the project risk, with emphasis on the reporting to the various stakeholders. While there are now a number of carbon capture and storage projects at a variety of scales operational in the world, including many mature CO 2 enhanced oil recovery operations in North America, more broad deployment of CCS technology is largely dependent on a business case to proceed in the future. The business case is dependent on factors such as the price of carbon, regulatory constraints on the emissions of carbon, and technology advances that reduce the energy penalty and cost of CCS.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781315369853-23","authors":["Jim Underschultz","Kevin Dodds","Karsten Michael","Sandeep Sharma","Terry Wall","Steve Whittaker"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-10-06T10:44:43Z","doi":"10.1201/9781315369853-23","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2118/180408-ms","name":"Integrating Enhanced Oil Recovery and Carbon Capture and Storage Projects: A Case Study at Farnsworth Field, Texas","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract The Southwest Partnership on Carbon Sequestration (SWP) is one of seven large-scale demonstration projects sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. The SWP has a goal of permanently sequestering more than 1,000,000 metric tonnes of CO2 in an active EOR project in a mature waterflood in the Anadarko basin. The CO2 for this project is anthropogenically sourced from a fertilizer and an ethanol plant. As of the end of 2015 the field has 13 CO2 injectors and has sequestered 386,695 metric tonnes of CO2 between October 2013 and July of 2015. Goals of the project include optimizing the EOR/storage balance, ensuring storage permanence, and developing best practices for carbon storage utilizing man-made CO2. The field site provides an excellent laboratory for testing a range of monitoring technologies in an operating CO2 flood since field development is sequential and allows for multiple opportunities to record zero CO2 baseline data, midflood data, and data from fully flooded patterns. The project has acquired data at a number of scales including a 42 mi2 3D seismic survey, baseline and repeat 3D VSP surveys centered on three injection wells, cross-well tomography baseline and repeat surveys between injector/producer pairs, a borehole passive seismic array to monitor for induced seismicity, a distributed temperature system, and bottomhole pressure and temperature sensors. The project has drilled three wells in the field, and has acquired over 750 ft of core in the Morrow B reservoir interval and associated caprock units. Additional monitoring focuses on CO2 soil flux, groundwater chemistry, reservoir fluids chemistry, and aqueous and gas-phase tracer studies. All acquired data have contributed to detailed geologic models used for fluid flow and risk assessment simulations. 3D VSP and cross-well data with repeat surveys have allowed for direct comparisons of the reservoir prior to CO2 injection and at eight months into injection, with a goal of imaging the CO2 as it moves away from injection wells. Additional repeat surveys at regular intervals will continue to refine direct CO2 imaging as production and injection data are integrated with newly acquired and interpreted data. All models are regularly updated. In this paper the project goals will be outlined, progress towards goals enumerated, and current geologic and simulation models will be introduced. In addition, initial results from time-lapse monitoring of movement of CO2 in the reservoir will be discussed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/180408-ms","authors":["Robert Balch","Brian McPherson"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-04-29T21:48:34Z","doi":"10.2118/180408-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.egypro.2014.11.739","name":"Creating Community Links for Carbon Capture and Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"Carbon Capture and Storage remains a vital part of both the Greenhouse Gas abatement and energy security policies in the state Western Australia. The South West Hub is a Government and Industry led initiative to develop a carbon storage project in an area adjacent to the main carbon emitting industrial areas in the South West region of the State. In February to April 2014, DMP conducted a detailed 3D seismic survey (the Survey) in the Harvey and Waroona shires. The Survey area was roughly 150 square kilometres and consisted of 125 landholders. DMP conducted a comprehensive, 18 month community engagement program to support the roll out of the seismic survey.

This case study will provide an overview of how the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) incorporated elements of WRI and NETL best practice guidelines into project development and the effectiveness of these methods. Once land access negotiations commenced, it became abundantly clear that the technical aspects of the project was secondary to community engagement and meeting landholder requirements for access. This had a direct impact on project scheduling and was a contributing factor to a 12 month deferral of the project (the others being environmental and seasonal requirements).

Among these impurities, mercury (Hg) poses potential operational, environmental, and regulatory challenges due to its toxicity, volatility, and complex phase behavior. The presence of mercury as an impurity in CO2 streams poses significant challenges for the efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) operations. In storage reservoirs, mercury may adsorb onto rock surfaces or precipitate as insoluble compounds, leading to reduced porosity and permeability, which adversely affect CO2 injectivity and storage capacity. Furthermore, mercury contamination introduces environmental risks, as leaks or migration can pollute groundwater and ecosystems, posing toxicity concerns for humans and wildlife. This paper presents an integrated numerical modeling workflow to evaluate the transport, phase partitioning, and long-term fate of mercury as an impurity during CO2 injection and geological storage. A compositional multiphase reservoir simulator (CMG GEM) is used to model CO2 injection under supercritical conditions, while geochemical reactions governing mercury partitioning, adsorption, and immobilization are incorporated through coupled geochemical calculations. The modeling framework captures pressure- and temperature-dependent solubility, multiphase transport, and interactions between mercury, formation brine, and reservoir rock. Simulation results indicate that mercury rapidly transfers from the CO2 phase into the aqueous phase after injection and is subsequently immobilized through adsorption and mineral interactions, resulting in limited long-term mobility. Sensitivity analyses highlight the influence of reservoir mineralogy, water saturation, and injection strategy on mercury retention. The results show the mercury impurities significantly influence reducing injectivity, and potential reservoir damage. Sensitivity analyses highlighted that impurity concentration was the most important factor, with impacts on injectivity ranging from 20% to 50%, depending on concentration levels and reservoir mineralogy. Variations in reaction kinetics and mineralogy further modified the outcomes, emphasizing the need to account for these parameters in CCS system design. The proposed workflow provides a practical tool for CCS project screening, impurity risk assessment, and regulatory compliance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4043/36327-ms","authors":["Seyed Mousa MousaviMirakalaei","Laura Santos"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-30T00:02:15Z","doi":"10.4043/36327-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.15530/ccus-2024-4016826","name":"Measurement, Monitoring &amp; Verification (MMV) Framework to Enhance Sustainability of Decarbonization Plan in the North Sea Area","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.15530/ccus-2024-4016826","authors":["Dwandari Ralanarko","Wulan Sari Puspita Ningrum","Hazred Umar Fathan","Anisa Mutiara Badri","Ilona Jocelynn Untung","Muhammad Iqbal Maulana","Iqbal Daffa Pradana","Fikri Rum Darmawan","Edy Sunardi","Ildrem Syafri","Billy Adhiperdana"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-04T20:07:16Z","doi":"10.15530/ccus-2024-4016826","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ijggc.2016.10.018","name":"Well integrity risk assessment to inform containment risk monitoring for carbon capture, utilization, and storage, applied to the Weyburn-Midale Field, Canada","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2016.10.018","authors":["Andrew Duguid","Wade Zaluski","George El-Kaseeh","Si-Yong Lee","Mark Piercy"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2017-03-14T23:16:26Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ijggc.2016.10.018","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.015Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-323-85250-0.00008-6","name":"Legal and regulatory barriers to CO2 geological storage in Brazil: Lessons from the European Union","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-323-85250-0.00008-6","authors":["Haline Rocha","Hirdan Katarina de Medeiros Costa"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-10-22T16:49:55Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-323-85250-0.00008-6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ma19163541","name":"Catalytic Hydrogenation of CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; to Alternative Fuels: A Review of Methanation and Related Pathways.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The imperative to mitigate climate change has accelerated the development of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies, particularly CO 2 hydrogenation into high-value chemicals and alternative fuels.

To address this gap, we synthesized a series of CM CPs using ferrocyanide and tetracyanonickelate (TCNi) building blocks with 1,2-bis(3-aminopropylamino)ethane (323) incorporated directly into the coordination network through a scalable, one-pot, room-temperature synthesis. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction of Ni-323-Fe II revealed a new two-dimensional coordination polymer in which the 323 ligand coordinates to Ni centres in both facial (fac) and meridional (mer) configurations. Incorporation of the 323 ligand into the coordination network was further confirmed by infrared (IR) spectroscopy through characteristic vibrational bands. Under pure CO₂, the ferrocyanide materials Ni-323-Fe II and Zn-Fe II -323 adsorbed 2.29 and 3.00 g CO₂ per 100 g of material, respectively.

To address the above limitations, inspired by the rapid biomineralization of eggshells catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase (CA), we innovatively introduced amino-functionalized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8-NH2) to accelerate the thermodynamics of CO2 hydration and combined it with polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel with CaCl2 introduced to achieve in situ CaCO3 crystallization.

At high densities, however, void regions are largely exhausted, and the local packing of CO2 molecules is, therefore, strengthened. Considering the validity of the Stokes-Einstein relation in this regime, the reduced diffusion is attributed to the increased effective friction arising from strong intermolecular interactions and enhanced momentum transfer.

CCUS capture approaches can be broadly categorized into two types: Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Point Source Capture (PSC). Only a limited number of studies assess the health impacts of emission reduction technologies. Exploring and comparing the health impacts of different pathways carries significant and far-reaching implications for sustainable development. Accordingly, in this paper, the Global Exposure Mortality Model (GEMM) is applied to assess the public health impacts of emissions from 1134 airports worldwide, covering approximately 94% of global operational airports. The findings reveal significant associations between aviation-related pollutants and number of deaths, particularly among men and older adults, with the Point Source Capture-Carbon Capture and Storage (PSC-CCS) pathway demonstrating the greatest potential for minimizing health risks.

Typical cement production requires 2.8–3.6 GJ of thermal energy and 80–120 kWh of electricity per ton of final product, resulting in total emission in the range 500–850 kg CO₂/t cement, of which 55–65% originate from clinker calcination.

The analysis shows that energy efficiency measures provide relatively limited reductions (10–30 kg CO₂/t cement), while alternative fuels and clinker substitution can achieve larger but still partial benefits. Hydrogen emerges as a promising option for decarbonizing the combustion-related share of emissions, with a potential reduction ranging from 50 to 250 kg CO₂/t cement, particularly when integrated with oxy-fuel combustion systems.

This CO 2 can be incorporated into organic molecules through various biochemical routes as part of the metabolic mechanisms of carbon absorption. The efficiency of these carbon assimilation pathways can be improved through ongoing developments in metabolic engineering, which can increase the production of valuable bioproducts, improve carbon sequestration, and support efforts to mitigate climate change. The present review recognizes critical avenues for advancing BECCUS, emphasizing market mechanisms, technological innovations, and cross-sector integration in both developed and developing countries such as India. The review recommends policy modifications aimed at establishing a transparent framework related to carbon pricing, emission trading systems, and proper certification mechanisms for biogenic carbon utilization.

Composite pore models containing Illite clay and type I, II, or III kerogen at high thermal maturity were built to represent the matrix pore system of deep shale. CO 2 was then injected into kerogen/Illite pores that had already adsorbed CH 4 , so that the dynamic CH 4 displacement process could be observed at the molecular scale. The results show that CO 2 adsorbs much more strongly than CH 4 and has clear adsorption selectivity. CH 4 displacement efficiency is strongly controlled by kerogen type.

The novelty of this work is fourfold. It presents the first techno-economic optimization of Power-to-Hydrogen (PtH) systems that explicitly quantifies the interaction between national incentive schemes (0-70% CAPEX subsidies) and optimal sizing of PV, wind, electrolyzer, and hydrogen storage for heavy industrial applications. It demonstrates a linear relationship between total capital investment and LCOH (R² > 0.96), enabling rapid cost estimation without full simulations. It identifies a critical threshold for battery storage cost reduction (≥50%) before batteries become economically viable in PtH systems without incentives. It also provides a comparative analysis of incentive effects versus projected equipment cost reductions (2030-2050), showing that incentives alone can achieve 43-54% LCOH reductions.

Through integrated experimental and theoretical analyses, we reveal that negatively charged carboxyl groups (-COO - ) generate a long-range electrostatic repulsion field that homogenizes the Zn 2+ flux, while amine groups (-NH 2 ) serve as specific anchoring sites via Zn - N coordination to capture Zn 2+ and catalyze desolvation.

A critical operation in offshore sequestration is the transfer of liquid CO2 from transport carriers to injection platforms via floating cryogenic hoses. Owing to the narrow operational pressure–temperature window of liquid CO2 , unintended vaporization may readily occur during transfer, posing risks to flow stability and system safety. Accurate assessment of the thermophysical state of liquid CO2 within cryogenic hoses is therefore essential. In this study, the applicability of the Gnielinski correlation for predicting the Nusselt number in cryogenic hoses with corrugated inner surfaces is first verified by comparison with high-fidelity convective heat transfer results obtained from Large Eddy Simulation. Subsequently, a coupled thermal–hydraulic model incorporating the Gnielinski correlation is developed to analyze the flow and heat transfer characteristics of liquid CO2 flow in the floating cryogenic hoses under subcritical conditions. The model accounts for key parameters, including flow rate, inlet temperature, insulation thickness, and friction factor, to determine the critical inlet pressure required to maintain single-phase CO2 throughout the hose. Parametric analyses reveal that the critical inlet pressure is strongly influenced by hose length, Darcy friction factor, insulation thickness, and flow rate, while inlet temperature variations exert a more pronounced effect at lower flow rates. These findings provide practical guidance for the design and operational optimization of offshore cryogenic hoses, contributing to the safe and stable transfer of liquid CO2 in offshore carbon sequestration systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9711831/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-9711831/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.03.21.713158","name":"Towards complete carbon utilization: Improved methane yield from formate and hydrogen co-feeding through constitutive formate dehydrogenase-gene expression in  <i>Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus</i>  ΔH","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Abstract Formate is emerging as an important molecule in carbon capture and utilization technologies. However, its low electron density makes formate less attractive for energy storage. Some hydrogenotrophic methanogens can reduce formate to methane, thereby upgrading it into an established energy carrier.

However, hydrogen-dependent genetic regulation of formate metabolism inhibits simultaneous formate and hydrogen utilization in hydrogenotrophic methanogens. Here, we compared the catalytic performance of the genetically modified strain Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus ΔH (pFdh) with M. thermautotrophicus Z-245 by conducting continuous cultivation at different hydrogen concentrations. While M. thermautotrophicus Z-245 is a natural formatotroph, M. thermautotrophicus ΔH (pFdh) was engineered to enable formate utilization via episomal expression of a formate dehydrogenase-gene cassette. We found that M. thermautotrophicus ΔH (pFdh) can simultaneously utilize formate and hydrogen. It continuously consumed formate at ≈ 0.1 mM dissolved hydrogen, enabling a 75.6% formate-to-methane conversion efficiency.

To address this issue, this study proposes an interfacial synergistic regulation strategy based on a composite system of carbon dots (CDs) and zwitterionic/nonionic surfactants to stabilize CO 2 micronanobubbles. Research indicates that carbon dots themselves lack surface activity but can form composite structures with surfactants through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. This leads to synergistic adsorption at the gas-liquid interface, significantly reducing the minimum surface tension from 21.54 to 10.71 mN·m -1 . The established semiquantitative adsorption model characterizes the nonlinear response of interfacial tension, revealing a competitive relationship between synergistic adsorption and bulk phase dissipation. The formation of the composite interfacial layer effectively suppresses gas diffusion and Ostwald ripening, significantly enhancing the size stability of micronanobubbles. Furthermore, in high-salinity systems enriched with Ca 2+ , carbon dots exhibit pronounced interfacial charge buffering, effectively preventing charge reversal and maintaining bubbles at a stable diameter below 600 nm for 24 h.

However, in heterogeneous reservoirs, injected CO₂ is highly susceptible to forming gas channeling pathways along high-permeability zones, leading to a drastic decline in oil sweep efficiency and the ineffective cycling of greenhouse gases. The injection of a PPG-polymer composite for deep conformance control currently serves as a crucial countermeasure. To address optimization challenges such as the strong nonlinearity of chemical conformance control mechanisms, multi-objective conflicts—specifically the trade-off between incremental oil production and chemical costs—and the prohibitive expense of full-tensor numerical simulations, this paper proposes an Adaptive Heterogeneous Ensemble Surrogate-assisted Differential Evolution (AHES-DE) framework. This framework innovatively constructs a heterogeneous surrogate model pool comprising Kriging, Radial Basis Function (RBF), and Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN). It dynamically adjusts the weights of each model using the entropy weight method and prediction variance to adaptively fuse multi-source predictive information. Furthermore, a surrogate-based pre-screening mechanism is introduced to guide the differential evolution algorithm in invoking the high-fidelity numerical simulator (CMG STARS) exclusively for the most promising solutions, thereby significantly mitigating the computational burden. The results demonstrate that AHES-DE exhibits substantial advantages over traditional single-surrogate optimization approaches. Under a constrained computational budget, its convergence speed is remarkably accelerated, reducing time consumption by over 60%. Additionally, it displays extremely narrow standard deviation confidence bands across multiple independent runs, manifesting exceptional optimization robustness. Concurrently, the algorithm successfully generates a high-quality Pareto front. By optimally selecting Pareto solutions, it overcomes the traditional engineering reliance on high-concentration agents, yielding a notable increase in cumulative oil production and a substantial enhancement in the chemical utilization factor. Regarding the final Net Present Value (NPV), Standard DE and SOA-RBF converge to only 8.71 × 10⁸ CNY and 8.85 × 10⁸ CNY, respectively. In contrast, AHES-DE robustly captures a global maximum of 8.98 × 10⁸ CNY, representing improvements of 3.10% (approximately 27 million CNY) and 1.47% (approximately 13 million CNY) over the former two algorithms.

Accurately quantifying these factors in site-specific scenarios is critical for assessing a project’s carbon footprint. Here, we present a parameterized lifecycle assessment (LCA) model to quantify the net CO 2 e emissions of a range of ex situ mineralization scenarios, considering both direct and avoided emissions. Using a case study with olivine feedstock in Washington State, U.S.A., we show that ex situ mineralization can range from net CO 2 positive for the least optimal scenarios to highly CO 2 negative for the most optimal scenarios. Considering avoided emissions, some scenarios can be >100% efficient (>1 t of net CO 2 stored + avoided per t of gross CO 2 stored). Capture efficiency depends heavily on low-carbon electricity, short transport distances, technologies that facilitate the passive capture of ambient CO 2, and maximizing avoided emissions. Substantial avoided emissions can be achieved via efficient co-product use in the local cement industry, although the size of the industry may be a constraint to scaling. Modest avoided emissions are also possible via integrated metal recovery.

However, frequent start-stop cycles and load variations accelerate the degradation of proton exchange membranes and catalyst layers, incurring significant lifetime costs that existing studies ignore. To explore how the PEM electrolyzer's dynamic traits impact system performance, we introduce an optimized operation approach for the electricity-hydrogen integrated energy system (IES) that incorporates these dynamic features and the novel Loss of Life Cost (LLC) model. Initially, to rectify the inadequacy in modeling the PEM electrolyzer within the current electricity-hydrogen IES operational framework, we integrate its dynamic characteristics based on electrochemical properties and establish a quantitative relationship between operational cycles and degradation costs. This enhanced model accurately reflects how operational conditions affect the electrolyzer's hydrogen production efficiency and lifetime consumption, enabling precise performance simulation and economic assessment. This, in turn, promotes high-quality renewable energy utilization via hydrogen production while ensuring asset longevity, meeting the rising demand for hydrogen energy applications. Building on this, we further factor in constraints related to diverse energy conversion and safe operation within the electricity-hydrogen IES, as well as the operational limits of hydrogen fuel cells, various energy storage (ES) options, cogeneration units, and other pertinent equipment, aiming to minimize the system's total daily costs (operational plus degradation costs). Consequently, we develop an optimization operation model for the electricity-hydrogen IES that accounts for the PEM electrolyzer's dynamic characteristics and degradation economics. Finally, through simulation examples validated against published experimental data, we comprehensively analyze how the PEM electrolyzer's dynamic traits influence system operation, confirming the effectiveness of our proposed model and methodology. Simulation findings reveal that, under varying electrolyzer capacities, ignoring the PEM electrolyzer's dynamic characteristics can result in a deviation in system operating. Compared with the proposed method, it can reduce the equipment degradation speed by a maximum of 5.78 times.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/membranes16040127","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/membranes16040127","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/gch2.70122","name":"Techno-Economic Assessment of a Hydrogen-Assisted Hybrid Renewable Microgrid with Fuel Cells for Off-Grid Electrification.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Rural electrification in coastal Bangladesh faces challenges from geographic isolation, weak grid access, and growing energy demand.

The sorbents were prepared by wet impregnation with actual loadings of 6.98 wt % MEA (CHNS) and 4.01 wt % K 2 CO 3 (XRF), and were characterized by BET, CHNS, XRF, SEM, XRD, FTIR, and TGA.

Under the humid DAC pathway (1:1 bicarbonate stoichiometry), these values correspond to 79% amine and 39% carbonate utilization, respectively. The superior performance of Z13/MEA is attributed to chemisorption at the -NH 2 sites, confirmed by FTIR bands at 1650 cm -1 (carbamate) and 1380 cm -1 (bicarbonate) and an increase in carbon content from 3.4% to 3.8% after use.

We model several policy portfolios, or scenarios, with differing net-zero commitments, deployment subsidies, and carbon pricing. Across scenarios, we find that these technologies play a minimal role in achieving net-zero. Instead, the policy portfolio combining graduated carbon pricing and a renewables subsidy yields the smoothest transition dynamics for electricity prices, and the lowest cumulative emissions and abatement costs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5c08320","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1021/acs.est.5c08320","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-032-23172-7_9","name":"Industrial and Environmental Applications of Carbonic Anhydrases.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are highly efficient metalloenzymes catalyzing the reversible conversion of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into bicarbonate (HCO 3 - ) and protons (H + ).

Considering their straightforward and economical production processes, cementitious materials are recognized as potential candidates. While existing research has established fundamental relationships between Ca/Si ratios (0.8-1.8) and carbonation kinetics under varying humidity (30-70 % RH), critical knowledge gaps persist regarding nanoscale morphological engineering of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) through self-assembly processes.

This extended method is then applied by considering two emerging technologies. The first is very-low-temperature district heating and cooling (DHC), directly supplying air-conditioning needs via simple heat exchangers, as well as heating needs via local heat pumps.

The main features of the five generations of networks, as well as the average aggregate user needs, are summarized in pinch technology composites, but replacing the temperature axis with a heat exergy axis to graphically highlight exergy losses. The average aggregate heating and cooling needs of users result from the application of a geographic information system to a district in a real city.

In this study, a facile method was developed for the in situ growth of Bacillus mucilaginosus (B.m.) on the wood porous structure. The B.m. solution exhibited a significantly low surface tension and a favorable wettability on wood surfaces. This is attributed to the extracellular polymeric substances secreted by the strain, which promote its deep penetration into wood structures without relying on vacuum or pressure-assisted conditions. During ambient drying, B.m. utilizes carbonic anhydrase to capture atmospheric CO 2 , inducing CaCO 3 deposition in cell lumens of wood and formed mineralized wood. Morphological and chemical characterizations confirmed the formation of well-crystallized CaCO 3 without altering the wood appearance. The B.m.-treated wood has a higher residual weight, delayed thermal decomposition, reduced heat release, and faster self-extinguishing ability, achieving enhanced flame retardancy.

In this study, we employ a high-pressure microfluidic platform to investigate the miscibility transition between CO 2 and n -decane at temperatures ( T ) of 40, 50, 70, and 90 °C. At T = 40 °C, with increasing pressure ( P ), microfluidic visualization reveals a series of distinct flow regimes: dripping, quasi-steady jetting, unsteady jetting, transitional, and ultimately diffusive regimes. In the diffusive regime, miscibility is achieved through intensive mixing, leading to the disappearance of the fluid-fluid interface. Based on these microfluidic observations, we propose a new criterion for MMP determination: the minimum pressure required to reach the diffusive regime for the dynamic CO 2 -oil flow. The experimentally determined MMP values show good agreement with previous microfluidic studies and predictions from the Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR-EOS). Furthermore, the MMP increases linearly with temperature from 40 to 90 °C, consistent with the reduced solubility of CO 2 in n -decane at higher temperatures.

This study identifies cyanophycin (CP) accumulation as a novel low-P response mechanism and compares the strategies of nitrogen-fixing Dolichospermum and non-nitrogen-fixing Microcystis. Dolichospermum adapts to low P stress via a \"CP-gene synergy\" pattern, with significant upregulation of the CP synthesis gene (cphA) and peak CP levels reaching 3.5 % of dry weight. This nitrogen-storage polymer balances the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio within cells. In contrast, Microcystis showed limited CP production (peak: 0.6 % DW) with 57 % downregulation of cphA under low P. Beyond the CP accumulation strategy, the two cyanobacterial species additionally exhibited distinct P utilization strategies: Microcystis predominantly employed polyphosphate storage, while Dolichospermum obtained P through alkaline phosphatase secretion. These differential strategies resulted in species-specific photoregulatory responses under P-limited conditions. Dolichospermum enhances PSII efficiency to compensate for reduced light capture, while Microcystis increases light capture to relieve energy stress. These differentiated strategies provide both genera with a sustained competitive advantage in aquatic environments, allowing them to occupy ecological niches even in low-P conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2026.125513","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.watres.2026.125513","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acsomega.6c00423","name":"Electrochemical Conversion of CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; via Molten Salt Electrolysis to Produce Hard Carbon Materials for Sodium-Ion Battery.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The conversion of CO 2 into valuable carbon materials is essential for establishing a circular economy.

A critical step in CCUS is the safe and efficient pipeline transport of supercritical CO2 (sCO2), where flow dynamics are strongly influenced by phase change phenomena under transient heat transfer or depressurization conditions. Indeed, pressure disturbances, such as leaks or rapid decompression events, can induce vaporization and condensation, processes further complicated by the inevitable presence of impurities (e.g., N2,CH4,Ar) originating from different conditions at sources. These impurities not only shift thermodynamic boundaries but also alter the kinetics of phase transitions, directly impacting pipeline safety and design. In this study, we investigate the effect of impurities on leakage mass flow rate, and decompression waves in sCO2 pipeline transport through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, benchmarked against experimental data. A real-fluid model (RFM) implemented in the CONVERGE CFD solver is employed for these two-phase simulations, where a tabulation-based approach ensures accurate representation of thermodynamic and transport properties across multiphase regimes. Simulations are performed for varying impurity concentrations, enabling systematic evaluation of their influence on flow rate, and decompression wave propagation and associated flow variables, such as temperature.

The consequences of climate change, including elevated temperatures and severe weather, threaten poultry health and productivity, emphasizing the necessity for mitigation efforts. This review integrates current understanding of GHG emissions from poultry production systems and critically examines mitigation strategies that support sustainable low-carbon poultry farming. Significant strategies emphasized include circular economic principles (nutrient recycling, waste-to-energy conversion) and the integration of renewable energy sources (solar, biogas) to reduce the sector's carbon footprint. Feed-based interventions, including precision nutrition and alternative protein sources (microalgae), can lower emissions by improving feed efficiency and reducing nitrogen excretion. Improved manure management techniques like aerobic composting, anaerobic digestion, and biochar application mitigate methane and nitrous oxide release while enhancing nutrient recovery. Technological innovations in precision farming, such as IoT-enabled monitoring and AI-driven decision support, optimize feeding, housing conditions, and resource use, cutting waste and emissions. Genetic selection for feed-efficient and climate-resilient poultry breeds offers further long-term reductions in GHG emissions. The comprehensive implementation of these strategies, along with supportive legislation and ongoing research, is crucial for overcoming economic and practical challenges. This holistic strategy will facilitate the poultry industry's transformation towards a sustainable, climate-resilient, low-emission future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psj.2026.106646","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.psj.2026.106646","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5c04026","name":"Techno-Economic Assessment of Industrial Symbiosis Between Steel and Urea Plants: The INITIATE Process.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The steelmaking and fertilizer industries accounted for approximately 10% of global anthropogenic CO 2 emissions in 2024. This study examines an industrial symbiosis concept, termed INITIATE, which integrates these two sectors to enhance resource efficiency and to reduce CO 2 emissions. The proposed system utilizes process gases from steel production as a feedstock for urea synthesis, using the sorption enhanced water gas shift (SEWGS) technology for simultaneous CO 2 capture and production of a H 2 -N 2 mixture. This stream is suitable for ammonia synthesis, which subsequently reacts with part of captured CO 2 in a downstream urea production process. Two sizes of fertilizer production are analyzed: a small-scale configuration producing 224 t urea /day and a large-scale case with a production capacity of 1500 t urea /day. Simulation results indicate that the integrated symbiotic configuration of the INITIATE system enables substantial reductions in both the natural gas consumption and direct CO 2 emissions. Under scenarios utilizing renewable electricity, the level of CO 2 avoidance can reach up to 68%. The specific primary energy consumption per unit of CO 2 avoided (SPECCA) ranges from -2.5 to 2.5 GJ/t CO 2 . Negative values reflect a net reduction in primary energy demand, resulting from process integration and efficient resource utilization. From an economic perspective, the cost of CO 2 avoidance is estimated at 24 €/t CO 2 for the small-scale plant, increasing to 130 €/t CO 2 for the large-scale configuration. Sensitivity analyses reveal that these costs are highly dependent on the prices of electricity and natural gas, with lower electricity prices and higher natural gas prices improving the economic performance of the INITIATE system compared with the base and reference cases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5c04026","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5c04026","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.isci.2026.116241","name":"Gradual introduction of carbon allowance auctions facilitates sustainable emission reductions in the power sector.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Achieving deep decarbonization of the power sector is essential for China's carbon neutrality goal and global climate mitigation.

Assessing the extent to which this is true for direct air capture with storage (DACS), a relatively energy-intensive CDR technology, strongly depends on the accounting method used to assess the emissions intensity of purchased energy.

Water is ubiquitous in oil reservoirs, yet the underlying mechanisms governing scCO 2 transport in the presence of water within nanoscale channels remain inadequately understood. Using molecular dynamics simulations combined with analytical models, this study explores the two-phase flow behavior of scCO 2 and water in confined nanochannels, emphasizing the effects of water saturation ( S w ) and channel wettability. It is found that in hydrophilic nanochannels, water preferentially adsorbs onto channel walls, forming thin films that coalesce into a water bridge at higher S w . This water bridge drastically impedes scCO 2 transport, reducing the flow capacity by up to 95%. Conversely, hydrophobic nanochannels exhibit water clustering in the channel center, which facilitates a higher scCO 2 mobility. At elevated S w , the flow pattern transitions from Poiseuille to Couette flow, further mitigating the decline in the scCO 2 transport capacity. Analytical models accurately predict these behaviors, highlighting the interplay among channel wettability, S w , and nanoscale confinement in dictating scCO 2 transports.

Contrast-enhanced imaging is central to diagnosis, staging, and treatment monitoring, yet its increasing use raises important environmental concerns. This review critically compares the sustainability of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and breast magnetic resonance imaging (bMRI), focusing on contrast medium ecotoxicity, energy consumption, data storage, digital infrastructure, patient access, and travel-related emissions. Both iodinated and gadolinium-based contrast media persist in aquatic environments and contribute to water pollution. Although standard wastewater treatment removes a higher proportion of iodinated contrast, the injected dose is substantially larger, resulting in a greater overall environmental load. Gadolinium-based media are used in smaller quantities but are poorly removed by conventional treatment processes and may release toxic free gadolinium ions after excretion. While CEM involves ionizing radiation and a smaller field of view, it consumes markedly less energy per examination, generates smaller data volumes, and can be integrated into existing mammography infrastructure-enhancing accessibility, enabling decentralized deployment, and reducing patient travel. CEM is also faster, more cost-effective, and often preferred by patients due to greater comfort and shorter examination time. In contrast, bMRI, though radiation-free and offering wider anatomical coverage, has a significantly higher energy demand and digital footprint. Overall, CEM demonstrates advantages in environmental, economic, and social sustainability without compromising diagnostic performance in selected clinical indications. Radiology departments can meaningfully reduce healthcare's carbon footprint by incorporating sustainability principles into modality selection, contrast-media management, and workflow optimization. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: CEM and bMRI address similar clinical indications with comparable diagnostic accuracy. CEM offers potential sustainability advantages through lower energy use, smaller data volumes, and easier integration into existing infrastructure, although it involves ionizing radiation, a limited field of view, and a higher environmental load from iodinated contrast. Considering sustainability alongside clinical factors can help radiology departments reduce environmental impact while maintaining high diagnostic standards. KEY POINTS: Sustainability should be an integral factor when selecting imaging modalities for breast cancer care. Both iodinated and gadolinium-based contrast media show environmental persistence and ecotoxic potential, with iodinated contrast producing a higher total environmental load despite greater removal in wastewater treatment. CEM consumes markedly less energy per examination and produces smaller data volumes than bMRI, reducing its digital and carbon footprint. CEM can be implemented on existing mammography systems, reducing patient travel, exam time, and costs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13244-026-02300-w","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s13244-026-02300-w","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-026-38720-3","name":"A multi strategy optimization framework using AI digital twins for smart grid carbon emission reduction.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"This research presents an AI-enabled digital twin framework to achieve carbon neutrality in smart grids through optimal management of heterogeneous energy storage systems.

In this study, we employed all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to develop a model of silicon-based porous composites synergistically doped with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene. The adsorption and diffusion characteristics of nitrogen (N 2 ) were systematically investigated across a CNT doping concentration range of 5% to 20%, and the influence of surface hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity on adsorption performance was quantitatively analyzed by modulating potential energy parameters. Our results demonstrate that the introduction of CNTs reconfigures the porous architecture, leading to an approximately 18.25% increase in the normalized specific surface area, which subsequently drives a 15% enhancement in the overall adsorption capacity of the composite. Nevertheless, analysis reveals that the weight-specific adsorption efficiency of the CNT component itself exhibits a declining trend as the doping concentration increases. This phenomenon is primarily attributed to the convex curvature of the CNTs, which restricts the effective contact area and weakens the adsorption potential, alongside the steric hindrance effects arising from local filler agglomeration at higher concentrations. Furthermore, surface chemical properties exert a significant regulatory influence on adsorption; a strongly hydrophilic modified surface (λ = 1.5) achieved an adsorption capacity approximately 98% higher than the baseline condition-an improvement that exceeds the gains provided by purely physical volume expansion.

This study investigates alternative pathways that operate without adjusting the H 2 /CO ratio, emphasizing their environmental performance. A comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) is conducted for three production routes-carbon monoxide (CO), acetic acid (HAc), and n-butyraldehyde (nBD)-which share MPW gasification and syngas purification as a common front-end, followed by distinct downstream conversion processes. Gate-to-gate data for the three chemical plants are generated using Aspen Plus process modeling. A cradle-to-gate LCA across 18 scenarios for Germany demonstrates that the MPW-based system can achieve up to 96.8% carbon utilization efficiency, reduce climate impacts by 48%, and lower fossil resource depletion by 45% compared with conventional fossil-based routes. Additional climate benefits of up to 67% are realized when integrating carbon capture and storage. Among the evaluated pathways, nBD production exhibits the lowest climate impact but requires higher fossil inputs, whereas CO and HAc production benefit more substantially from low-carbon electricity.

Existing studies predominantly rely on numerical simulations to analyze the mechanical response on cement sheath under temperature-pressure conditions, neglecting the corrosion of cement sheath. However, there is a notable lack of theoretical computation models specifically for cement sheaths containing the coupled effects of corrosion and stress.

However, the efficiency of photosynthesis for CO2 fixation is not economically efficient, primarily due to the inherent limitations of the Calvin–Benson–Bassham (CBB) cycle. Recently, synthetic carbon fixation pathways such as the malyl-CoA-glycerate (McG) cycle offer a promising alternative to mitigate these limitations in natural carbon fixation by improving carbon sequestration and emission reduction. Although these pathways have been designed and validated in microorganisms [2], their precise integration with the native metabolic network in higher plants remains a formidable challenge for successfully driving substantial growth advantages. A recent study published in Science by Lu and colleagues reports a groundbreaking effort in constructing a dual-cycle carbon fixation system by functionally integrating a synthetic McG cycle with the native CBB cycle in Arabidopsis thaliana, leading to a synergistic leap in biomass, leaf number, seed yield and lipid synthesis (Fig. 1) [3]. The CBB–McG dual cycle for carbon fixation. This dual-cycle system consists of the native CBB cycle and the synthetic McG cycle. This system begins with the carboxylation reaction of RuBisCO in the CBB cycle for fixing CO2 to produce 3PG, along with glycolate generation from the oxygenation reaction of RuBisCO. Subsequently, 3PG or glycolate enters the McG cycle, leading to the production of acetyl-CoA with one additional carbon fixation or without carbon loss. PEP, phosphoenolpyruvate; OAA, oxaloacetate; 2PG, 2-phosphoglycerate; RuBP, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate. To fully tap the potential of plant synthetic biology for enhancing photosynthesis, three primary challenges need to be addressed effectively. First, natural carbon fixation systems in plants suffer from the fundamental limitations of CO2 utilization, due to the intrinsic inefficiency of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) carboxylation. Second, the photorespiratory metabolism of the RuBisCO oxygenation product glycolate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) is constrained by the limited carbon yield, resulting from the release of photosynthetically fixed carbon as CO2 [4]. Third, the glycolytic conversion of the RuBisCO carboxylation product 3-phosphoglycerate (3PG) to acetyl-CoA is intrinsically accompanied by CO2-releasing decarboxylation [5]. In this context, Lu and coworkers present a synthetic biology solution that integrates a synthetic McG cycle with the native CBB cycle in A. thaliana, thereby constructing a dual-cycle carbon fixation system. This system channels both a RuBisCO carboxylation product (3PG) and an oxygenation product (glycolate) into acetyl-CoA synthesis by fixing one additional carbon or avoiding carbon loss with phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. The engineering foundation of this study is the successful assembly of a synthetic McG cycle in the chloroplasts of A. thaliana, facilitating its synergistic interaction with the native CBB cycle to create a dual-cycle carbon fixation system. To achieve this, the authors introduced six heterologous enzymes to construct the complete McG cycle and adopted synthetic biology strategies, including fusion proteins and promoter engineering, to ensure efficient localization and biologically active expression of these components in the chloroplasts. The refined dual-cycle system in A. thaliana was demonstrated by enabling the simultaneous utilization of the RuBisCO carboxylation and oxygenation products for efficient acetyl-CoA synthesis, thereby achieving additional carbon fixation and avoiding carbon loss. To elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the significantly enhanced growth of McG plants, the authors performed a series of physiological and genetic analyses. They first quantified phytohormone levels and identified a substantial increase in cytokinins, which effectively explained the enlargement of the shoot apical meristem and the increase of the rosette leaf number, thereby leading to a tripled fresh weight (FW) and dry weight. This enhanced metabolic capacity led to tripled seed yields without extending the life cycle, demonstrating a breakthrough in developmental constraints. Furthermore, to trace the source of additional carbon flux, they constructed partial McG cycles and deleted glycolate dehydrogenase. This critical experiment confirmed that the conversion of glycolate into acetyl-CoA plays a dominant role in growth enhancement. To quantitatively assess the effect of the dual cycle on photosynthetic performance, the authors conducted comprehensive analyses of CO2 assimilation rates, proteomics and enzyme activities. They found that the net CO2 assimilation rate under atmospheric conditions was doubled in McG plants. Notably, proteomic and enzyme activity analyses confirmed that this enhancement was not due to the increased RuBisCO abundance or activity, but attributable to the novel McG cycle functioning through phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. Further characterization of the CO2 response curve revealed a significantly reduced CO2 compensation point, demonstrating that the dual cycle effectively minimizes carbon loss by recycling RuBisCO carboxylation and oxygenation products. Additionally, the operating efficiency of photosystem II and the abundance of key photosynthetic proteins showed a consistent increase, confirming that this metabolic rewiring enhanced the overall performance of the photosynthetic system. To trace the metabolic fate of the substantially enriched acetyl-CoA pool, the authors conducted comprehensive lipidomic profiling. Lipid droplets abundantly accumulated in the rosette leaves of McG plants. Subsequent quantitative analyses revealed lipid reprogramming in leaves, including a notable increase in triacylglycerol (TAG) contents from 0.015 to 3.0 mg g−1 FW, and significant alterations in fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic acids. In addition, TAG content in mature seeds was also doubled in McG plants. These results indicated that the McG cycle provoked a metabolic shift for directing carbon flux into storage lipid biosynthesis across both vegetative and reproductive tissues. This research represents a paradigmatic breakthrough in plant synthetic biology, which provides a universal design framework for developing a highly modular metabolic ‘plugin’ to boost CO2 fixation. The dual-cycle system developed by Lu and coworkers facilitates the fundamental reprogramming of central carbon metabolism, leading to coordinated advancements in growth, yield and lipid synthesis. Thus, the established ‘C2-centric’ metabolic paradigm not only provides a novel solution to mitigate inherent carbon loss in plant photosynthesis but also opens new avenues for systematically enhancing plant carbon fixation. The remaining challenge is how to broaden this proof of concept from a model plant, A. thaliana, to staple crops such as rice and wheat. This will require in-depth exploration into synthetic biology tools to optimize plant photosynthesis to achieve a net carbon gain and keep energetic costs down, coordinate expression of multiple enzymes in chloroplasts without imposing an excessive metabolic burden, and finally obtain a high-yield phenotype that is genetically stable across generations. This advancement will be essential for developing a new generation of engineered crops that maintain high-yield traits as consistently as elite cultivars under actual field conditions, or potentially demonstrate even greater stress resistance. The dual-cycle system offers a new paradigm for addressing the inherent limitations of plant carbon fixation. Future optimization may proceed along three dimensions. First, high-atom-economy CBB–McG pathways can be developed by replacing the decarboxylation step in the McG cycle with the carboxylation reaction in the tartronyl-CoA (TaCo) pathway [6], thereby directly boosting plant carbon fixation. Second, rational engineering of the photosystem seeks to improve light capture and electron transfer efficiency, thereby providing sufficient driving force for carbon fixation. Third, the downstream pathways of key metabolic nodes can be reprogrammed to create an effective carbon sink for flexibly outputting the products of carbon fixation. In the near future, synthetic dual-cycle systems with iterative optimization are expected to be implemented in staple crops, thereby enhancing their photosynthesis and crop productivity.

To address this complexity, this study proposes a deep learning-assisted distributionally robust optimization (Deep-DRO) framework designed to enhance both economic efficiency and operational reliability under uncertainty. The model integrates a hierarchical coordination architecture, wherein deep learning modules infer the probabilistic structure of uncertain variables-such as solar irradiance, wind availability, and load fluctuation-while the DRO layer enforces system-wide robustness through an adaptively reshaped ambiguity set. The learning-assisted ambiguity reconstruction enables the optimization to dynamically adjust conservativeness, improving the tradeoff between cost, reliability, and renewable utilization. Methodologically, the proposed framework employs a multi-agent dispatch structure consisting of three decision layers-county, feeder, and distributed energy resource (DER)-each learning distinct policy mappings through reinforcement-guided coordination. Deep networks trained on high-resolution meteorological and operational data estimate scenario distributions, while the robust optimization core minimizes expected cost and reliability penalties under distributional ambiguity. The resulting hybrid system seamlessly couples data-driven forecasting and model-based optimization, bridging the gap between predictive intelligence and operational robustness. To ensure scalability and interpretability, convergence diagnostics, sensitivity analyses, and cost decomposition studies are performed across multiple test systems and uncertainty scenarios. Simulation results on a benchmark multi-region distribution network demonstrate substantial performance gains. Compared to conventional DRO, the Deep-DRO model reduces total operational cost by 11.0-13.5%, improves reliability indices from 0.864 to 0.911, and raises renewable utilization from 85.6% to 89.7%. The integrated deep learning mechanism effectively captures latent correlations among stochastic parameters, enabling the system to maintain resilience even under 30% higher uncertainty variance. Furthermore, carbon emissions decline by 28.6% relative to baseline, confirming that the proposed method achieves an intrinsic balance between economic optimization and environmental sustainability. The analysis reveals that hierarchical learning fosters adaptive coordination among agents, while the robust layer guarantees performance consistency across uncertain conditions. The study thus advances a generalizable paradigm for intelligent, risk-aware energy management, offering theoretical and practical implications for future power system restoration, smart grid autonomy, and sustainable dispatch design.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-35945-0","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-35945-0","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-026-35701-4","name":"A linear programming model for power system planning with hydrogen integration.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The imperative to decarbonize the economy has positioned hydrogen as a clean fuel for hard-to-abate sectors and as a buffer for renewable energy integration.

Effective deployment of CCS projects requires the optimal matching of CO 2 emission sources with storage sinks, as well as efficient routing through onshore and offshore transportation networks. This research focuses specifically on truck-based transportation, a practical and flexible delivery mode given the current infrastructure conditions in Thailand. The optimization problem is formulated as a Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), aiming to minimize total travel distance while meeting CO 2 transportation capacity constraints. Due to the NP-hard nature of the problem, traditional optimization techniques often encounter limitations. To address this, a constrained K-means clustering algorithm is first applied to perform source-sink matching, grouping CO 2 emission sources based on proximity and capacity compatibility with designated storage sinks, i.e., the Lampang, Nong Bua, Suphanburi, and Kra basins. The clustering process incorporates two key constraints to ensure feasibility and efficiency. Subsequently, the Artificial Hummingbird Algorithm (AHA), inspired by the foraging behavior of hummingbirds, is applied for route optimization. AHA is particularly effective for complex optimization problems due to its strong global search capabilities. The model is applied to a case study in Thailand, taking into account the country's unique geographical and infrastructural features.

Linear and nonlinear models were constructed using Latin Hypercube Sampling data from Aspen Plus simulations and evaluated across multiple data set sizes (40-320 points). Performance was assessed using a comprehensive set of statistical metrics ( R 2 , adjusted R 2 , predicted R 2 , 5-fold cross-validation R 2 , RMSE, and MAE), supported by confidence interval plots to capture both predictive accuracy and generalization. Results show that quadratic models more effectively capture nonlinear trends in the methanol and ammonia processes, particularly for larger data set sizes, while linear models maintain strong generalization and computational efficiency, especially for urea. For small sample sizes, inflated R 2 values masked overfitting in quadratic models, an issue revealed only through predicted R 2 , cross validation, and error metrics. Convergence of all performance measures at higher data sizes confirmed the importance of sufficient sampling to ensure robust surrogate behavior. Computational performance benchmarking of selected models illustrated significant savings in prediction times compared to those of simulation. Beyond individual process insights, the validated surrogate models presented here serve as a benchmark for different CO 2 utilization processes in a standardized testing environment. They provide a consolidated and reusable resource for CO 2 utilization research and are intended as modular building blocks that can be readily embedded into enterprise-wide optimization frameworks of industrial eco-park network models. A case study is also provided to demonstrate error propagation in interconnected process units replaced by surrogates resulting in low deviations from simulation. By reducing computational burden while maintaining predictive reliability, these models support both academic investigations and practical decarbonization initiatives.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c10202","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1021/acsomega.5c10202","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-026-40676-3","name":"Foxnut (makhana): a productive and economic crop providing good niche for soil carbon storage and stability in lower Gangetic wetlands.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Commercial crop Foxnut (makhana) cultivation is being popularized for the productive utilization of wetlands in eastern India.

Six geo–referenced soil samples (three from each) after harvesting of the winter (boro) rice at 0–25, 25–50, 50–75, and 75–100 cm depth was considered to capture the variability of OC stock and stability in each depth of soil. Soil inorganic C (TIC) and organic (SOC) fraction, total organic C (TOC), simple oxidizable Walkley and Black C (CWBOC), very labile, labile, less labile, non–labile, active, passive pools, and several SOC indices [recalcitrant, lability, and stratification ratio (SR)] were captured based on oxidation with several strengths of chromic acid. Soils of makhana contained a larger amount of sand, less clay, silt, and more compacted, contained more available macro and micronutrients. Conversely, in most of cases, TOC stock and its different pools were higher in rice–rice–fallow than makhana cropping (P < 0.05) with a decreasing trend along the depth. Recalcitrant indices (RI1 and RI2) of the SOC were larger for soils under makhana than rice–rice–fallow in surface soil, and contrary to the values of the lability index. However, SR was higher in soil under rice–rice–fallow than makhana (P < 0.05), indicating a better soil quality in the former than the latter. The system makhana rice equivalent yield (SMREY) was calculated and these values and benefit to cost (B: C) for makhana cultivation was greater than rice–rice–fallow (P < 0.05). This was again verified with larger carbon management index for rice–rice–fallow than makhana. The soil properties, larger exogenous C–input, and management practice prevailed over the effect of rice and its ecology on the stock and stability of SOC than makhana. Therefore, double rice–based systems, practised in the lower Ganges–basin showed better C economy, but makhana showed high economic return.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-40676-3","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-40676-3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/adma.202515511","name":"Advanced Porous Materials for Maritime Carbon Capture.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) has drawn significant attention due to the devastation arising from the effects of global warming.

Key transcriptional hubs, regulated by master transcription factors such as ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5), PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTORS (PIFs), and GOLDEN 2-LIKE transcription factors (GLKs) coordinate photosynthesis, growth, and defence responses, driving adjustments and imposing balances for adaptation to shade, variable light, and stress.

A systematic experimental comparison was carried out between binary gas-water systems and three-phase gas-water-sand systems, with and without salinity (3 wt % NaCl), at two initial pressures (25 and 35 bar) using a 1 L high-pressure reactor. The natural sand was sampled from the Adriatic Sea. It is formed mainly by quartz and is primarily mesoporous with limited microporosity. The particle size is mainly included in the range of 100-200 μm. The introduction of natural sand significantly mitigates salinity-induced inhibition, particularly at higher pressure, increasing hydrate density from 100.7 to 166.6 g CO2 /m 3 and water utilization from 24.7% to 40.9% in saline systems. Kinetic analyses demonstrate that pressure controls the overall formation rate. At low pressure, sand acts mainly as an enabling factor in saline systems, while at high pressure, it induces a transition from continuous bulk growth to pore-controlled formation. Dissociation kinetics reflect the formation history and hydrate morphology. Salinity primarily controls the dissociation rates, while sand redistributes hydrate within the pore space, modifying the temporal pattern of CO 2 release. Equilibrium measurements indicate that natural sand shifts hydrate stability toward less restrictive conditions and partially compensates for salinity inhibition for the investigated grain-size range.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.6c02301","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1021/acsomega.6c02301","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12688/openreseurope.21237.1","name":"CCUS and Local Social Perspectives","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Climate change is a wicked problem that requires an interdisciplinary approach to address it.

This paper examines decarbonization technologies across three stages (source, process, and end-of-pipe) for two dominant steel production routes: the long process (BF-BOF) and the short process (EAF). For the BF-BOF route, source-stage decarbonization employs high-proportion pelletized ore charging and elevated scrap ratios. The process stage integrates converter bottom-blowing with O2-CO2-CaO composite injection technology for optimized carbon control. The end-of-pipe treatment combines CO2 recycling with carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) for deep decarbonization. The EAF route establishes a low-carbon production system through green high-efficiency electric arc furnaces and hydrogen-based shaft furnace processes. Source-stage improvements utilize green electricity and advanced equipment for energy efficiency. Process optimization implements intelligent control systems for precise smelting, while end-of-pipe solutions incorporate waste heat recovery and slag resource utilization to form closed-loop operations. Hydrogen direct reduction ironmaking and green electricity-driven EAF technologies demonstrate significant emission reduction potential, providing crucial technological support for industrial decarbonization. Comparative analysis of industrial applications reveals varying emission reduction efficiencies, economic viability, and implementation challenges across different technical pathways. The study concludes that deep decarbonization of the steel industry requires coordinated policy incentives, technological innovation, and industrial chain collaboration.

These public orchards should consist of fruit trees and shrubs that require minimal maintenance, considering the limited availability of personnel in Romania for such activities. Harvesting can involve public participation, transforming the orchards into a form of agrotourism, with the possibility of charging a minimal entrance fee.The research is grounded in several key aspects specific to contemporary mountain areas, forming the foundation of the conceptual framework proposed. These include a significant reduction in cattle and sheep populations, a decline in transhumance practices, and a decrease in organic natural fertilizers derived from animal resources, all of which contribute to the degradation of natural vegetation on pastures and hayfields. In this context, soil impoverishment and degradation occur, marked by a decline in organic matter content, reduced microbial biodiversity, and lower soil fertility.The depopulation of mountain areas leads to the neglect of lands-both publicly and privately owned-especially pastures and hayfields, exacerbating existing ecological and economic problems. Within this context, the study proposes a paradigm shift from traditional afforestation/reforestation practices to the planting or replanting of fruit trees and shrubs as a sustainable solution for mountain areas affected by the abandonment of these landscapes.The study also examines the bio-ecological benefits of replanting, including carbon capture and biodiversity restoration, along with agro-economic advantages such as the creation of clustering models based on shared characteristics or added-value chains. The article presents research from various regions around the world, demonstrating the positive impact of reforestation and replanting in terms of carbon storage, food security enhancement, and the reshaping of the rural mountain landscape.In terms of practical implementation, the study proposes an agro-economic model for the value chain associated with planting/replanting, including financial/material flows, strategic and operational planning, and the management of the production and distribution of saplings, seeds, and fruits. Furthermore, the research presents specific planting/replanting solutions for fruit trees and shrubs, including species such as berries and medicinal herbs, which can be cultivated at high altitudes-thus contributing to the sustainable development and utilization of high mountain regions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202506.0726.v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.20944/preprints202506.0726.v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-6192887/v1","name":"Development patterns of structural fractures in reservoirs under different stress states: An experimental investigation of true triaxial mechanics","source":"preprints","abstract":"Abstract Under the influence of multiple periods of tectonic movement, different types of structural fractures have widely developed in basins. These fractures effectively improve the quality of low-permeability reservoirs and are key to geothermal, oil, and gas resource utilization; carbon dioxide sequestration; and gas storage. Most oil and gas reservoirs in the world experience different stress fields, such as compression, strike-slip and transition stress fields, resulting in different fracture development modes in reservoirs with different burial depths. Traditionally, tensile fractures form mostly near surfaces or under high pore pressure conditions. However, the genetic mechanism of tensile fractures in deep reservoirs is unclear. To address these problems, by collecting tight sandstone samples from the field, 13 groups of 100*100*100 mm cubic rock samples were prepared, and true triaxial rock mechanics experiments were conducted to reveal the fracture development patterns under different stress states and confining pressures. The experimental results revealed that under in situ stress, the rock elastic parameters increased as the intermediate principal stress ( σ 2 ) increased, and σ 2 had a positive effect on the ability of a sample to resist deformation. With increasing horizontal minimum principal stress ( σ hmin ), the Young’s modulus and compressive strength increased, whereas σ hmin had little effect on the residual stress and Poisson’s ratio. Mechanics experiments based on different stress states revealed the geomechanical mechanism underlying the differential development of structural fractures in tight sandstones in the Tarim Basin and Ordos Basin. The transformation of the stress state was found to be the main genetic mechanism for the complexity of the occurrence of fractures in the Tarim Basin. Under strong compression, i.e., early tectonic movement, tensile fractures perpendicular to the orientation of the horizontal maximum principal stress ( σ Hmax ) developed, and the larger the difference between the σ hmin and vertical stress ( σ v ) was, the greater the development of tensile fractures. These results increase the understanding of the formation mechanisms of tensile fractures. Models of fracture development under different stress states were established, confirming that tensile fractures could develop in deep and strong compression environments. The research results have reference value for fracture cause analysis, carbon capture and sequestration, gas storage construction, and deep oil and gas exploration and development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-6192887/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-6192887/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202503.0209.v1","name":"Fuzzy-Ball Fluids: Fundamentals, Mechanisms, and Prospects for Clean Energy and Oilfield Applications","source":"preprints","abstract":"Fuzzy-ball fluids have emerged as a novel class of chemical sealapluging materials with significant potential for enhancing both traditional oilfield operations and clean energy technologies.

According to the results, Uzbekistan has an annual CSU capacity of 1171 million tonnes CO2, which is several times higher than the annual CO2 emission rate. Additionally, CSU resources are primarily located in the eastern, western, and southern regions of the country, while CO2 sink locations near the capital city and its surrounding areas are limited compared to their abundance of CO2 sources. Overall, while the country has ample CO2 storage capacity for CCSU deployment, the prospects for its chemical utilization remain limited in scale.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-4557437/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4557437/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22541/au.172493269.92417471/v1","name":"A Dimensional Analysis for Cost Optimization and Cost-Effective Carbon Capture: A Comparative Study of Hybrid Post-Combustion Configurations in Natural Gas Power Plants","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) considered a key strategy for reducing the emissions of anthropogenic carbon dioxide from power generation plants, can be achieved by three main technologies: oxy-fuel combustion, pre-combustion, and post-combustion capture.

The advantages of solar energy include its wide distribution, short cycle, high power, easy availability, and no pollution. As solar energy is seriously affected by changing weather, large-scale utilization of solar energy is restricted. Organic phase change materials (PCMs) are an ideal thermal energy storage medium, and the development of solar-thermal energy conversion technology requires materials to effectively capture and store solar energy. However, PCMs have some characteristics that need improvement, such as low light-to-heat conversion rates. Therefore, this article added biomass porous carbon (BPC) to improve the thermal conductivity and optical properties of PCMs. The experimentally determined thermal conductivity of 70% paraffin wax (PA)-(BPC) composite PCM (CPCM) was 3.18 times higher than that of pure PA. In addition, the average absorbance in the range of 190–2000 nm was approximately 1.3, and approximately 95% of solar radiation was absorbed by the CPCM and stored as thermal energy. The photothermal conversion efficiency of the CPCM was as high as 89.6%, thus infrared thermal image analysis was used to discover the positive effects of biomass porous materials on solar light capture and heat transfer. Therefore, composite BPC-based PCMs have broad application prospects in light-to-heat conversion and energy storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-4264814/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4264814/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-3726551/v1","name":"Smart use of renewable electricity and carbon capture in the transport sector","source":"preprints","abstract":"Abstract The decarbonization of the transport sector, which accounts for a quarter of global energy use when including its fuel production and consumption, is critical to limit global temperature rise well below 2 degrees.

Many countries and international regulations aim to reduce CO 2 and encourage development of a net-zero society by 2050, thus, CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) can be considered as a key technology for achieving this goal. Among the many industrial processes, NaHCO 3 production is a representative CCUS technology which satisfies both CO 2 reduction and economic incentive. Recently, Na 2 SO 4 waste, containing 15% impurities (i.e., various heavy metals), produced as a by-product generated from desulfurized processes in steel industry has received a great deal of attention since landfilling has been the only way to treat it. Na 2 SO 4 could be a suitable source of NaHCO 3 production as CCUS; however, there are no commercial processes for production of NaHCO 3 using Na 2 SO 4 as the raw material, since it has low production efficiency compared to other Na + sources. This study evaluates the regeneration of NaHCO 3 using Na 2 SO 4 waste and our results show that a combination of Na 2 SO 4 waste and the addition of 20% Na 2 CO 3 can sharply increase the yield of NaHCO 3 while minimizing the consumption of expensive NH 3 .","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-3779190/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-3779190/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-3597091/v1","name":"Carbonation and modeling study for process liquor in batch mode using flue gas in the mining and mineral processing industry","source":"preprints","abstract":"Abstract ​The mining and mineral processing industry generates significant amounts of process liquor containing sufficient concentrations of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). This abstract presents a technical overview of the carbonation process applied to process liquor using boiler flue gas as a source of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). The carbonation of process liquor using boiler flue gas offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides a sustainable solution for CO 2 capture and storage, reducing the environmental impact of the mining and mineral processing industry. Secondly, the carbonation process results in the production of stable carbonate or bicarbonate compounds that can be used as valuable byproducts or raw materials in other industrial processes. Furthermore, the carbonation of process liquor can lead to improved process efficiency and reduced operational costs by facilitating the removal of impurities and the recovery of valuable metals or minerals. Factors such as temperature, pressure, pH, CO 2 concentration, and reaction time must be carefully controlled to ensure efficient carbonation and maximize CO 2 utilization. Trials were conducted for the effective carbonation of process liquor generated in the mineral processing industry, which contains caustic lye.

Microorganisms are active in the cold, snow-covered Arctic tundra soils; however, their contribution to the greenhouse gas budget during the Arctic winter remains poorly understood. To investigate the functional activity of bacterial and archaeal communities in oroarctic tundra soils during late winter, metatranscriptomic samples were collected alongside greenhouse gas (GHG) flux measurements across key vegetation types, which represent pH and moisture gradients. The transcription of central carbohydrate metabolism genes, various stress-related genes, and high carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) fluxes evidenced active microbial metabolism in winter. Vegetation type, soil C/N ratio, pH, and water content explained the functional activity and microbial community composition during winter. The transcription of functional marker genes for methane oxidation and denitrification, coupled with flux data, suggests that shrublands and meadows act as methane (CH 4 ) sinks in winter, while all vegetation types function as small nitrous oxide (N 2 O) sources. Our results further demonstrate that the soil microbial community has a significant impact on wintertime GHG emissions in the oroarctic tundra, thereby enhancing the explanatory power of a statistical model beyond that of abiotic environmental variables alone.

Here, we generated de novo transcriptomes from 82 accessions representing 22 Hordeum species, including barley and identified 257 single-copy orthologs present in all accessions to infer a robust phylogeny of the genus. By combining phylogenetic network inference with ABBA-BABA tests, we detected four well-supported cases of interspecific hybridization, three of which coincided with major long-distance dispersal events across continents. Comparative climatic niche analysis indicated that annual Hordeum species tend to inhabit environments characterized by higher temperatures and greater interannual temperature variability, as well as increased human disturbance, compared to their perennial relatives, although no consistent differences in precipitation were observed. Using our well-resolved phylogeny as a comparative framework, we analyzed patterns of selection, gene expression, and gene copy-number variation to uncover genomic changes associated with life-history strategy while accounting for phylogenetic non-independence. These analyses yielded 174 candidate genes spanning a wide range of biological functions, suggesting that the genetic architecture underlying life-history evolution is more complex than previously assumed. Candidate genes grouped into six major functional categories, with the most prominent being signal transduction and development, which includes regulators of flowering, dormancy, and meristem activity, metabolic and biosynthetic processes related to carbon allocation and storage, and stress response and defense, reflecting the long-term resilience of perennials compared to the accelerated growth strategies of annuals. Together, our study not only reconstructs the evolutionary history and climatic niche differentiation of Hordeum species but also demonstrates that convergent life-history evolution is driven by multifaceted and functionally diverse genetic mechanisms.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.08.11.669716","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1101/2025.08.11.669716","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-2848381/v1","name":"Research and design experience of Qilu Petrochemical-Shengli OilField 1 million tons/year CCUS project capture and transport unit","source":"preprints","abstract":"The background of China's first million-ton CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) project that has been constructed is introduced, a molecular sieve dehydrating agent and MellapakPlus™ regular filler is used, the compression-condensation-purification process to recover CO 2 is described, new energy-saving processes such as lithium bromide cooling water unit to recover waste heat for cooling and expansion generator unit to recover tail gas pressure energy to generate electricity are designed, and the High-pressure liquid-phase pipeline transport, proposed the layout and land area of the project, analyzed the consumption of public works of the capture system and transport system, conducted health, safety, and environmental protection instructions, proposed the analysis and testing category table, carried out energy consumption analysis and economic analysis, and the conclusion of the study shows that the project is technically and economically feasible.

To address this knowledge gap, we used a 10-year grassland plant-exclusion experiment to investigate how reduced plant C inputs affects microbial communities and their lignocellulolytic potential using a combination of metagenomic sequencing and untargeted metabolomics. We specifically tested the hypothesis that microbial community function in bare fallow plots would transition towards microbiota with genes for recalcitrant biomass degradation (i.e., lignocellulose), when compared to grassland plots with high labile C inputs. Results: Long term plant exclusion lowered soil C and N and reduced cellulose content, whilst hemicellulose and lignin were unchanged. Similarly soil microbiomes were highly distinct in long-term bare soils, along with soil extracellular enzyme profiles, though short term plant-removal effects were less apparent. Plant exclusion resulted in a general enrichment of Firmicutes, Thaumarchaeota, Acidobacteria, Fusobacteria, and Ascomycota, with a general reduction in Actinobacteria. However, changes in bare soil lignocellulose degradation genes were more associated with discrete taxa from diverse lineages, particularly the Proteobacteria. Grouping of lignocellulose-degrading genes into broad substrate classes (cellulases, hemicellulases and lignases) revealed a possible increase in lignin degradation genes under plant exclusion confirming our hypothesis, although all other changes were at the level of the CAZy family. Intriguingly, untargeted metabolome profiles were highly responsive to plant exclusion, even after only one year. Bare soils were depleted in oligosaccharides and enriched in monosaccharides, fatty and carboxylic acids, supporting emerging evidence of long-term persistent C being within simple compounds. Conclusions: Together our data show that extracellular lignin degrading enzymes increase under long term plant exclusion. There is now a need for increased focus on the microbial metabolic mechanisms which regulate the processing and persistence of enzymatically released compounds, particularly in energy limited soils.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-6822283/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-6822283/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-2335984/v1","name":"Scheduling optimization of wind-thermal interconnected low-carbon power system integrated with hydrogen storage","source":"preprints","abstract":"To improve the consumption of wind energy and reduce carbon emission, this paper proposes a wind-thermal interconnected low-carbon power system integrated with hydrogen storage.

We collected stool for whole metagenome shotgun sequencing and plasma for metabolic phenotyping from 238 children (79 NO-SAM, 159 O-SAM) hospitalised with complicated SAM and 141 adequately-nourished controls (ANC) from an observational, prospective cohort in Zimbabwe and Zambia. Children with SAM were followed up at 12-, 24- and 48-weeks post-discharge. During hospitalisation, there were significant alterations in taxonomic and functional microbiome diversity between O-SAM and NO-SAM. Lancefieldella parvula , a potent producer of hydrogen-sulfide from cysteine, was one of three species significantly elevated in O-SAM versus NO-SAM. Metagenomic analysis showed an overabundance of pathways involved in sulfur amino-acid and one-carbon metabolism in O-SAM compared to NO-SAM. Consistently, the sulfur amino acids cysteine and homocysteine were significantly depleted in the plasma of O-SAM versus NO-SAM, while histidine and various phosphatidylcholines were more abundant.

The obtained simulation results show that a petrochemical company implementing an aggressive carbon emission investment strategy will obtain the best emission reduction effect. Corresponding carbon emissions will begin to decline in 2030 and carbon neutrality will be achieved by 2058. It is suggested that, in the short term, petrochemical companies focus on carbon reduction technology innovation, which will help to reduce carbon emissions stably and quickly. In the long run, petrochemical companies should pay more attention to carbon capture, utilization, and storage to achieve the carbon neutrality goal no later than 2060. It is further recommended that the Government implements loose carbon emission reduction policies for the petrochemical companies to ensure economic development and carbon emission reduction investment by petrochemical companies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1668080/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-1668080/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2023.12.22.572991","name":"Dual carbon sequestration with photosynthetic living materials","source":"preprints","abstract":"Natural ecosystems offer efficient pathways for carbon sequestration, serving as a resilient approach to remove CO 2 from the atmosphere with minimal environmental impact. However, the control of living systems outside of their native environments is often challenging. Here, we engineered a photosynthetic living material for dual CO 2 sequestration by immobilizing photosynthetic microorganisms within a printable polymeric network. The carbon concentrating mechanism of the cyanobacteria enabled accumulation of CO 2 within the cell, resulting in biomass production. Additionally, the metabolic production of OH - ions in the surrounding medium created an environment for the formation of insoluble carbonates via microbially-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). Digital design and fabrication of the living material ensured sufficient access to light and nutrient transport of the encapsulated cyanobacteria, which were essential for long-term viability (more than one year) as well as efficient photosynthesis and carbon sequestration. The photosynthetic living materials sequestered approximately 2.5 mg of CO 2 per gram of hydrogel material over 30 days via dual carbon sequestration, with 2.2 ± 0.9 mg stored as insoluble carbonates. Over an extended incubation period of 400 days, the living materials sequestered 26 ± 7 mg of CO 2 per gram of hydrogel material in the form of stable minerals. These findings highlight the potential of photosynthetic living materials for scalable carbon sequestration, carbon-neutral infrastructure, and green building materials. The simplicity of maintenance, coupled with its scalability nature, suggests broad applications of photosynthetic living materials as a complementary strategy to mitigate CO 2 emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.12.22.572991","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.1101/2023.12.22.572991","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4286145","name":"10 years of ISO TC 265: Culture, politics, COVID, and progress","source":"preprints","abstract":"Behind any international standard, are countless hours of work done by subject matter experts from around the world.

In this context, CO 2 sequestration into depleted oil reservoirs is a practical approach as it boosts the oil recovery and facilitates the permanent storing of CO 2 into the candidate sites. However, the estimation of CO 2 storage capacity in subsurfaces is a challenge to kick-start CCS worldwide. Thus, this paper proposes an integrated static and dynamic modeling framework to tackle the challenge of CO 2 storage capacity in a clastic reservoir, S1A filed, Masila basin, Yemen. To achieve this work's ultimate goal, the geostatistical modeling was integrated with open-source code (MRST-CO2lab) for reducing the uncertainty assessment of CO 2 storage capacity. Also, there is a significant difference between static and dynamic CO 2 storage capacity. The static CO 2 storage capacity varies from 4.54 to 81.98 million tons, while the dynamic CO 2 simulation is estimated from 4.95 to 17.92 million tons. Based on the geological uncertainty assessment of three ranked realizations (P10, P50, P90), our work was found that the upper Qinshn sequence could store 15.64 Million tons without leakage.

Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer therapy for many cancer types; however, PDAC survival rates remain unchanged. Low tumor mutation burden, inefficient antigen presentation, limited response rates to standard-of-care (SoC) therapy, acquired resistance, and a profoundly immunosuppressive microenvironment constrain the efficacy of immunotherapy. Advances in nanotechnology-based vaccines have enabled the precise delivery of mRNA and antigens, thereby potently activating the immune system and opening new avenues for treating PDAC. Here, we report a mannose-grafted nanovaccine (NV) platform that co-packages the gastrointestinal cancer-overexpressed CEACAM5 (CEA5), and immune adjuvants to sensitize antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and enhance their antigen-presenting capacity, promoting efficient lymph node priming and robust CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T-cell activation. Our NV induced substantial remodeling of the PDAC microenvironment, reflected by increased CD8+ T-cell infiltration and T-cell memory, while decreasing T-cell exhaustion, cancer-associated fibroblast abundance, desmoplasia, pro-tumorigenic metabolic pathways, and angiogenic signaling. NV monotherapy significantly suppressed primary tumor growth and extended survival in a PDAC mouse model. In a tumor resection model, NV-treated mice showed reduced local tumor recurrence and complete prevention of hepatic metastasis. Combination therapy with SoC and a KRAS inhibitor further enhanced tumor control and survival compared with either monotherapy. The translational potential of the NV is supported by patient-derived models, in which NV-pulsed APCs generated functional antigen-specific T cells capable of killing tumor cells. Notably, NV also demonstrated robust antitumor efficacy in a mouse colorectal cancer model, delaying tumor progression and prolonging survival, highlighting the translational potential of this modular platform across gastrointestinal cancers. Collectively, this work establishes a modular and translationally relevant NV platform capable of converting immune-refractory PDAC into a therapeutically responsive disease by amplifying endogenous antitumor immunity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9958073/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-9958073/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2024.04.07.588495","name":"Phosphate starvation stops bacteria digesting algal fucan that sequesters carbon","source":"preprints","abstract":"Algae provide a solar powered pathway to capture and sequester carbon by injecting stable fucan made from carbon dioxide into the ocean 1–4 .

The fact that phosphate is required for replication, transcription and translation explains why bacteria can digest gigatons of laminarin with a few enzymes, but not fucan during nutrient limited algal blooms.

In contrast, adopting non-model bacteria for the production of various chemicals of interest is often hampered by their limited genetic amenability coupled with their low transformation efficiency. In this study, we propose a series of steps that can be taken to increase electroporation efficiency in non-model bacteria. As a test strain, we use Cupriavidus necator H16, a lithoautotrophic bacterium that has been engineered to produce a wide range of products from CO 2 and hydrogen. However, its low electroporation efficiency hinders the high-throughput genetic modifications required to develop C. necator into an industrially relevant host organism. First, we propose a species-independent technique based on natively methylated DNA and Golden Gate assembly to increase one-pot cloning and electroporation efficiency by 70-fold. Second, bioinformatic tools were used to predict defense systems and develop a restriction avoidance strategy that was used to introduce suicide plasmids by electroporation to obtain a domesticated strain. The results are discussed in the context of metabolic engineering of non-model bacteria.

South Korea has declared a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 by 24.4 percent compared to 2017 levels. In addition, at the end of 2020, countries submitted plans of a long-term low-carbon vision by 2050.

The study aims to assess the value of improved access and use of OCs and cylinders during the COVID-19 pandemic in India. This evaluation is relevant to strengthening health systems in many resource-constrained LMIC settings. Methods Using a Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) sampling method, primary surveys were conducted in 450 health facilities across 21 states in India. The primary outcomes measured were self-reported utility of oxygenation devices in meeting the oxygen demand in the short-run and long-run utility of devices compared to the pre-oxygen-devices-distribution-period. We perform bivariate and multivariate regression analyses. Results Around 53-54% of surveyed facilities reported that the distributed oxygenation devices helped meet oxygen demand in the short run and are expected to increase their long-run capacity to admit non-COVID patients with oxygen needs. Timely availability of technicians was associated with meeting oxygen demand using the additional oxygenation devices at the facilities. Facilities that increased the number of staff members who were able to administer oxygen devices were at higher odds of reducing the administrative load on their staff to organize oxygen support in the long run. Hospital infrastructure was also associated with the long-run outcomes. Conclusion We find that oxygenation devices such as cylinders and OCs were useful in addressing the oxygen demand during the COVID-19-related oxygen emergency. Overall production of oxygen to meet the demands and investments in training personnel to administer oxygen could help save lives. Funding None Research in Context What is already known on this topic? Oxygen therapy is an essential medicine for the treatment of severely ill patients with COVID-19. Availability of adequate oxygen support was therefore crucial for every health facility that serves COVID-19 patients, particularly in low-resource settings. Medical equipment donation to low-resource settings is also a frequently used strategy to address existing disparities, but there is a paucity of reported experience and evaluation of the impact of these devices. Challenges such as infrastructure gaps, lack of technological and maintenance capabilities, and non-prioritization of essential supplies have previously been highlighted in other developing-country contexts. What this study adds? Timely availability of technicians, the average load of COVID-19 patients during the second wave, and timely availability of oxygenation devices such as OCs were factors associated with the additional oxygenation devices having a significant impact on meeting the oxygen demand at the facility. Further, facilities that increased the number of staff members that were able to administer oxygen devices at the beginning of the second wave were at higher odds of expecting a reduction in the administrative load on their staff to organize oxygen support in the long run. How this study might affect research, practice or policy? This is the first study to demonstrate the utility of oxygen devices such as cylinders and OCs in meeting oxygen demand during the COVID-19 oxygen emergency. Prior findings of the literature from other LMICs stress the importance of hospital infrastructure such as power outlets in the effective use of these oxygen devices. Our analysis also finds these barriers to be significant and additionally suggests that the timely availability of oxygen administrators and technicians is crucial in the utilization of these devices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.10.15.22281117","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.1101/2022.10.15.22281117","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4139030","name":"Distributional Predictability and Extreme Spillovers of Clean Energy, Steam Coal and Technology: Evidence from a Quantile-Based Analysis","source":"preprints","abstract":"From a new quantile perspective, this paper employs nonparametric quantile causality and quantile connectedness approach to investigate distributional predictability and spillover effects among steam coal, clean energy, and high-tech systems under normal and tail conditions, respectively.

To address the climate emergency, Canada has legally committed to achieving net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. How our federal, provincial, and territorial governments spend public dollars to meet this net-zero target is critically important as Canada finances its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. This report serves as a source of information to guide Canadian policymakers, business leaders, pension fiduciaries, and civil society members in their efforts to align fossil fuel subsidies with the country’s net-zero policy targets. It includes recent information on our government’s international policy commitments at the United Nations sponsored Twenty-Sixth Conference of the Parties (COP 26) that held from October to November 2021, federal ministerial mandates in December 2021 and other national responses as of February 2022 and forecasts other implications in Canada. The author finds that Canada has federal, provincial, and territorial subsidies, but governments do not report enough data. However, based on recent data from governments and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the leading research organization analysing data on fossil fuel subsidies in Canada, there is a conservative estimate: the combined federal, provincial, and territorial fossil fuel subsidies in Canada total at least $4.8 billion annually in 2018 and 2019, and most were given by provincial and territorial governments. Federal subsidies tend to take the form of grants, but provincial and territorial subsidies are often from tax programs such as waivers and breaks as well as uncollected or under-collected resource rents or royalties. From the available data, we see some patterns of fossil fuel subsidies in Canada. The federal government gives more subsidies to producers than consumers to incentivize the extraction of fossil fuels and/or reduce their emissions, and some subsidies have recently shifted focus from exploration to infrastructure development for production and export of Canadian fuels abroad. Subsidies that reduce emissions make oil, gas, coal, and fossil fuel products less GHG intensive and/or expand natural gas production to reduce the reliance on oil. Many provincial and territorial governments give consumption subsidies, although provinces such as Alberta and British Columbia have significant production subsidies as well. Consumption subsidies include tax exemptions for the use of fossil fuels such as gasoline, coal, natural gas, diesel, and propane. Given Canada’s race to net-zero, these federal, provincial, and territorial subsidies now have more negative than positive implications for Canadian society. The report classifies and discusses four governance implications: government transparency, climate policy effectiveness, climate justice, and risk exposure. While government transparency and some aspects of climate policy effectiveness and climate justice are better known, the risk exposure of companies, investments and fiduciaries have hardly been acknowledged. The report contributes on these four implications. First, Canadian governments across levels do not report fossil fuel subsidies transparently to enable companies, financial institutions, and Canadian civil society members to adequately evaluate the costs and benefits. We do not fully understand how governments spend public dollars in subsidies. Second, some fossil fuel subsidies cause more global warming and climate change, while others aim to reduce GHG emissions by promoting the use of low-carbon technologies such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and, controversially, carbon capture and storage. Fossil fuel subsidies therefore have two major implications for climate policy: the impact on GHG emissions reduction and on the finance of low-carbon technologies. How fast and well Canada transitions is at stake. Third, fossil fuel subsidies disproportionately impact societal stakeholders that are most vulnerable to policies, corporate actions, and investment decisions in the fossil fuel industry. Canadian society, especially low-income people and communities who bear the consequences of the social externalities of subsidies, workers and communities relying on the fossil fuel economy, and Indigenous Peoples and communities suffering the consequences of oil extraction, are impacted. Fourth, businesses, investments and governments are increasingly exposed to risks in the race to net-zero. Government of Canada has signed the COP 26 Statement on International Public Support for the Clean Energy Transition and the Glasgow Climate Pact. In doing so, Canada commits to ending new direct public support for the international unabated fossil fuel energy sector by the end of 2022 and diverting funding to clean energy and phasing out some fossil fuel subsidies by 2023. Canadian developments to implement these latest policy commitments increase corporate and investment risk exposure, and governments can expect more litigation checking their policies and other actions. Given these far-reaching implications, the report offers extensive recommendations to support Canada’s fossil fuel subsidy reforms. Because governments have the most important role to play in reforming subsidies, most of the ideas seek to help them enhance information, promote policy targets, enable stakeholder evaluation, address vulnerabilities, and limit exposure to litigation risks. Governments at both federal and provincial/territorial levels should: adopt the Auditor General of Canada’s definition of subsidy for government direct and indirect support given to the fossil fuel industry, in line with international best practice; prepare and release detailed periodic inventories of subsidies, identifying those that are inefficient; provide information on subsidies supporting net-zero GHG emissions; report annually on risk management measures; review and revise tax, royalty and other legislation and policies relating to fossil fuel subsidies; and frame energy subsidies, including renewables and other sources to benefit from a shift from fossil fuel to alternative sustainable energy subsidies, with the concept of climate justice. The fossil fuel subsidy phase-out should specifically include collaboration at all levels of government to protect workers and communities dependent on the oil and gas sector by developing a pan-Canadian just transition program that retrains fossil fuel workers, integrates fossil fuel-dependent communities into new low-carbon economic activity, and partners with Indigenous Peoples in the transition to net-zero. These recommendations for governments can guide business involvement in Canadian policy, but the report also offers ideas for corporate and investment fiduciaries to mitigate their subsidy risk exposure in Canada’s transition. Corporate and investment fiduciaries should deliberate on the risks of fossil fuel subsidies and opportunities related to low-carbon transition through engagement, planning, disclosure processes, and risk management. Additionally, the report makes recommendations for civil society members, acknowledging how their actions could impact business, investment, and fiduciaries. Indigenous Peoples, fossil fuel workers, and other vulnerable groups have the immediate opportunity to question fossil fuel subsidies through engagement with governments and pension funds, climate litigation and, in the medium term, by orchestrating actions that support the phasing out of fossil fuel subsidies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4048398","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4048398","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.3745492","name":"Promoting Renewable Energy: How Fares the Philippines?","source":"preprints","abstract":"Sustainability is a key component of energy security. To help achieve the global long-term goal of zero-carbon emissions by 2050, the Philippine government has implemented laws, policies, and programs to increase the share of renewable energy (RE). An important example is the feed-in-tariff (FiT) scheme. The share of RE in electricity generation, however, has fallen from 45.4% in 1990 to 21% in 2019, a clear indication that the interventions have not been effective. Main constraints to the expansion of RE are formidable, which include market-based factors, technology inertia, market failure, and political economy issues. Even if policies are designed to overcome these constraints, there has been a delay in the implementation of some of them; but more importantly, many of the interventions do not adhere to the principles underlying sound industrial policy. In particular, policies should abide by the principle of embeddedness, which refers to the coordination between the public sector and private firms that allows the former to be aware of the constraints and opportunities of the latter. To address this problem, policymakers must incorporate said principles and streamline future interventions by anchoring them to three aspects: the moratorium on greenfield coal plants, the study on Competitive Renewable Energy Zones (CREZ), and the serious consideration of incorporating nuclear power in the energy mix. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic has provided an opportunity to “build back better”. Studies have shown that some “green” fiscal recovery measures have strong multiplier effects and, at the same time, promote sustainability. An example is retrofitting buildings to enhance energy efficiency. The experience of other Southeast Asian countries in designing interventions can be useful but policymakers should acknowledge that one size does not fit all.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3745492","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3745492","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.147Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202112.0336.v1","name":"Green Aid Tax Relief Participation Scheme – A Study about a Creative Environmental Tax Towards Carbon Reduction in the Post – Covid 19 Era","source":"preprints","abstract":"Environmental tax is the climate policy that offers, in theory, the easiest way for carbon reduction.

As people show rising demand, we aimed to design a tool that responds to public expectations and operates directly at source on emission reducers, viz the trees. Drawing on research from environmental taxes and the evidence of measures taken, we reasoned that an environmental fiscal policy may not intend necessarily to punish the bads , but rather might reward the positive attitude and direct it to act. Consequently, we focused on tax reliefs and designed Green Aid, that can address people s attitude to take active participation into account by incorporating virtuous behaviours into tax relief.

Delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase (P5CS) is a rate-limiting enzyme in proline synthesis, catalyzing the initial two-step conversion from glutamate to proline. Here, we determine the first structure of plant P5CS. Our results show that Arabidopsis thaliana P5CS2 (atP5CS2) can form enzymatic filaments in a substrate-sensitive manner. The destruction of atP5CS filaments by mutagenesis leads to a significant reduction in enzymatic activity.

However, population aging and shifts in global demand provide headwinds for future growth and Korea now faces the effects of COVID-19 on economic activity.

We find that potential output growth slowed to about 2½ percent before the COVID-19 pandemic and would have fallen to 2 percent by 2030, mainly due to demographic factors. Moreover, there is a possibility of scarring from the COVID-19 shock as adjustment frictions from structural rigidities interact with shifts in demand and supply patterns, lowering investment and labor force participation. At the same time, industry-level analysis suggests ample scope to raise productivity, especially in services where productivity gains have lagged.

IMPORTANCE Adaptation to the host niche is key for any pathogenic organism. Aspergillus fumigatus is a major fungal pathogen causing 90% of invasive aspergillosis cases, which is associated with a high mortality rate. Siderophore-mediated iron acquisition has been shown to be essential for virulence of A. fumigatus and other fungal pathogens. In recent years, the hyphal siderophore biosynthetic pathway has been largely elucidated with exception of a single unknown enzyme, which we identified here as SidF. In contrast to another siderophore biosynthetic acyltransferase, SidL, SidF is a bifunctional enzyme accepting different substrates. As simultaneous inactivation of SidF and SidL, which share a common protein domain and a common substrate, blocks the biosynthesis of all siderophores, simultaneous targeting of SidF and SidL may allow development of new antifungal drugs. Phylogenetic analyses supported the relevance of these findings to other fungal species Moreover, this study clarified the rational for partial peroxisomal localization of siderophore biosynthesis and their metabolic interdependence. The human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus produces fusarinine-type (FusTS) and ferrichrome-type siderophores (FchTS), both of which have been shown to be crucial for virulence of this mold. After the common first siderophore biosynthetic step, SidA-catalyzed hydroxylation of ornithine, the pathway splits.

Previous genomic evidence identified four ACs potentially linked to depression risk. We carried forward these ACs and tested the association of their circulating levels with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) diagnosis, overall depression severity and specific symptom profiles. The sample from the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety included participants with current (n = 1035) or remitted (n = 739) MDD and healthy controls (n = 800). Plasma levels of four ACs (short-chain: acetylcarnitine C2 and propionylcarnitine C3; medium-chain: octanoylcarnitine C8 and decanoylcarnitine C10) were measured. Overall depression severity as well as atypical/energy-related (AES), anhedonic and melancholic symptom profiles were derived from the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology. As compared to healthy controls, subjects with current or remitted MDD presented similarly lower mean C2 levels (Cohen’s d = 0.2, p ≤ 1e-4). Higher overall depression severity was significantly associated with higher C3 levels (ß=0.06, SE = 0.02, p = 1.21e-3). No associations were found for C8 and C10.

Results were confirmed in analyses pooling data with an additional internal replication sample from the same subjects measured at 6-year follow-up (totaling 4141 observations). Small alterations in levels of short-chain acylcarnitine levels were related to the presence and severity of depression, especially for symptoms reflecting altered energy homeostasis.

Here, we implement an integrated approach to investigate the structural evolution of nitrogenase, an ancient and globally essential enzyme responsible for biological nitrogen fixation. Despite the ecological diversity of its host microbes, nitrogenase retains strict functional constraints, including extreme oxygen sensitivity, high energy demands, and substrate availability. We combined phylogenetics, ancestral sequence reconstruction, protein crystallography and deep-learning based structural prediction to resurrect nearly three billion years of nitrogenase structural history. This effort represents the first effort to predict the full set of extant and ancestral structures along the evolutionary tree of a single enzyme, yielding over 5000 structural models.

The study aims to assess the value of improved access and use of OCs and cylinders during the COVID-19 pandemic in India. This evaluation is relevant to strengthening health systems in many resource-constrained LMIC settings. Methods: Using a Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) sampling method, primary surveys were conducted in 450 health facilities across 21 states in India. The primary outcomes measured were self-reported utility of oxygenation devices in meeting the oxygen demand in the short-run and long-run utility of devices compared to the pre-oxygen-devices-distribution-period. We perform bivariate and multivariate regression analyses. Findings: Around 53-54% of surveyed facilities reported that the distributed oxygenation devices helped meet oxygen demand in the short run and are expected to increase their long-run capacity to admit non-COVID patients with oxygen needs. Timely availability of technicians was associated with meeting oxygen demand using the additional oxygenation devices at the facilities. Facilities that increased the number of staff members who were able to administer oxygen devices were at higher odds of reducing the administrative load on their staff to organize oxygen support in the long run.

In combination with capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, 18 O-water labeling simultaneously dissects the in vivo phosphate group dynamics of a broad spectrum of even rare inositol phosphates.

Our observations support a model in which the biosynthetic pathway of inositol poly- and pyrophosphates is organized in distinct, kinetically separated pools.

We demonstrate that δ15Nenamel represents a powerful new paleodietary proxy that could help delineate major dietary transitions in ancient vertebrate lineages, such as the onset and intensification of animal resource use in early hominins.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1942250/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-1942250/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-2394473/v1","name":"Leaf-level coordination principles propagate to the ecosystem scale","source":"preprints","abstract":"Abstract Fundamental axes of variation in plant traits result from trade-offs between costs and benefits of resource-use strategies at the leaf scale.

Confocal laser scanning microscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, and HPAE-PAD chromatography revealed the complex and dynamic chemical compositions of the structural EPS in relation to microbial population shifts along reactor regimes. The analysis of 20 representative genomes of “Ca. Accumulibacter” and “Ca.

Despite the differences in influenza virus surface antigens and virulence of seasonal subtypes, manufacturers are well-adapted to respond to this periodical vaccine demand. Due to decades of influenza virus research, the development of new influenza vaccines is relatively straight-forward. Nevertheless, compared to the recent Covid-19 pandemic where a vaccine is not yet available, influenza vaccine manufacturing would be a major bottleneck for the rapid supply of billions of doses required worldwide. In particular, egg-based vaccine production would be difficult to schedule and shortages of other egg-based vaccines with high demands also have to be anticipated. Cell culture-based production systems enable manufacturing of large amounts of vaccines within a short time frame and expand significantly our options to respond to pandemics and emerging viral diseases. In this work, we present an integrated process for the production of inactivated influenza A virus vaccines based on a MDCK suspension cell line cultivated in a chemically defined medium. Very high titers of 3.6 log10(HAU/100 µL) were achieved using fast growing MDCK cells at concentrations up to 9.5 × 106 cells/mL infected with influenza A/PR/8/34 H1N1 virus in 1 L stirred tank bioreactors. A combination of two membrane-based chromatography steps enabled full recovery for the virus capture and up to 80 % recovery for the virus polishing step, respectively. Purified virus particles showed a homogenous size distribution around a mean diameter of 80 nm. Based on a monovalent dose of 15 µg hemagglutinin (SRID assay), the level of total protein was 58 µg and the level of host cell DNA contamination was below 10 ng. Furthermore, all process steps can be fully scaled up to industrial quantities for commercial manufacturing of either seasonal or pandemic influenza virus vaccines. Fast production of up to 300 vaccine doses per liter within 4 to 5 days makes this process competitive not only to other cell-based processes, but to egg-based processes as well.","url":"https://doi.org/10.22541/au.161476429.90376721/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.22541/au.161476429.90376721/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.3640412","name":"U.S. Shale-Oil Hubbert Production Peak: Civilization's Ultimate Energy Forecast","source":"preprints","abstract":"This paper, in the form of a treatise, estimates a U.S. shale-oil production trend forecast and explores potential consequences of that trend on U.S. and World macroeconomic conditions and growth prospects.

In this paper, we describe the discovery of a novel non-covalent small-molecule inhibitor, MCULE-5948770040, that binds to and inhibits the SARS-Cov-2 main protease (M pro ) by employing a scalable high throughput virtual screening (HTVS) framework and a targeted compound library of over 6.5 million molecules that could be readily ordered and purchased. Our HTVS framework leverages the U.S. supercomputing infrastructure achieving nearly 91% resource utilization and nearly 126 million docking calculations per hour. Downstream biochemical assays validate this M pro inhibitor with an inhibition constant ( K i ) of 2.9 µ M [95% CI 2.2, 4.0]. Further, using room-temperature X-ray crystallography, we show that MCULE-5948770040 binds to a cleft in the primary binding site of M pro forming stable hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions. We then used multiple µ s-timescale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and machine learning (ML) techniques to elucidate how the bound ligand alters the conformational states accessed by M pro , involving motions both proximal and distal to the binding site. Together, our results demonstrate how MCULE-5948770040 inhibits M pro and offers a springboard for further therapeutic design. Significance Statement The ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has prompted a global race towards finding effective therapeutics that can target the various viral proteins. Despite many virtual screening campaigns in development, the discovery of validated inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2 protein targets has been limited. We discover a novel inhibitor against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease. Our integrated platform applies downstream biochemical assays, X-ray crystallography, and atomistic simulations to obtain a comprehensive characterization of its inhibitory mechanism. Inhibiting M pro can lead to significant biomedical advances in targeting SARS-CoV-2 treatment, as it plays a crucial role in viral replication.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.27.437323","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.1101/2021.03.27.437323","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202302.0066.v1","name":"Smarter Sustainable Tourism: Data-Driven Multi-Perspective Parameter Discovery for Autonomous Design and Operations","source":"preprints","abstract":"The Global natural and manmade events are exposing the fragility of the tourism industry and its impact on the global economy.

These three parallel lineages offer the unique opportunity to study convergent versus lineage-specific adaptation to a fully marine lifestyle. Here, we present chromosome-level genome assemblies from a representative species of each of the seagrass lineages - Posidonia oceanica (Posidoniaceae), Cymodocea nodosa (Cymodoceaceae), and Thalassia testudinum (Hydrocharitaceae) - along with an improved assembly for Zostera marina (Zosteraceae). We also include a draft genome of Potamogeton acutifolius , a representative of Potamogetonaceae, the freshwater sister lineage to the Zosteraceae. Genome analysis reveals that all seagrasses share an ancient whole genome triplication (WGT) event, dating to the early evolution of the Alismatales. An additional whole genome duplication (WGD) event was uncovered for C. nodosa and P. acutifolius . Dating of ancient WGDs and more recent bursts of transposable elements correlate well with major geological and recent climatic events, supporting their role as rapid generators of genetic variation. Comparative analysis of selected gene families suggests that the transition from the submerged-freshwater to submerged-marine environment did not require revolutionary changes. Major gene losses related to, e.g., stomata, volatiles, defense, and lignification, are likely a consequence of the submerged lifestyle rather than the cause (‘use it or lose it’). Likewise, genes, often retained from the WGD and WGT, were co-opted for functions requiring the alignment of many small adaptations (‘tweaking’), e.g., osmoregulation, salinity, light capture, carbon acquisition, and temperature. Our ability to manage and conserve seagrass ecosystems depends on our understanding of the fundamental processes underpinning their resilience. These new genomes will accelerate functional studies and are expected to contribute to transformative solutions — as continuing worldwide losses of the ‘savannas of the sea’ are of major concern in times of climate change and loss of biodiversity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.03.05.531170","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.1101/2023.03.05.531170","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2021.11.29.470318","name":"Regulation of the macrolide resistance ABC-F translation factor MsrD","source":"preprints","abstract":"SUMMARY A ntibiotic r esistance ABC-Fs (ARE ABC-Fs) are translation factors currently proliferating among human pathogens that provide resistance against clinically important ribosome-targeting antibiotics.

This study highlights various ways in which Korea and the EU can strengthen their cooperation in areas such as supply chain reorganization, digital transformation, climate change response, and energy security. By working together, both sides can achieve their common goals and respond more effectively to global challenges.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4454944","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4454944","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2020.05.18.20105577","name":"A Novel Smart City Based Framework on Perspectives for application of Machine Learning in combatting COVID-19","source":"preprints","abstract":"The spread of COVID-19 across the world continues as efforts are being made from multi-dimension to curtail its spread and provide treatment. The COVID-19 triggered partial and full lockdown across the globe in an effort to prevent its spread. COVID-19 causes serious fatalities with United States of America recording over 3,000 deaths within 24 hours, the highest in the world for a single day and as of October 2020 has recorded a total of 270,642 death toll. In this paper, we present a novel framework which intelligently combines machine learning models and internet of things (IoT) technology specific in combatting COVID-19 in smart cities. The purpose of the study is to promote the interoperability of machine learning algorithms with IoT technology in interacting with a population and its environment with the aim of curtailing COVID-19. Furthermore, the study also investigates and discusses some solution frameworks, which can generate, capture, store and analyze data using machine learning algorithms. These algorithms are able to detect, prevent, and trace the spread of COVID-19, and provide better understanding of the virus in smart cities. Similarly, the study outlined case studies on the application of machine learning to help in the fight against COVID-19 in hospitals across the world. The framework proposed in the study is a comprehensive presentation on the major components needed for an integration of machine learning approach with other AI-based solutions. Finally, the machine learning framework presented in this study has the potential to help national healthcare systems in curtailing the COVID-19 pandemic in smart cities. In addition, the proposed framework is poised as a point for generating research interests which will yield outcomes capable of been integrated to form an improved framework.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.18.20105577","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020","doi":"10.1101/2020.05.18.20105577","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2020.10.07.20208603","name":"Serological Analysis Reveals an Imbalanced IgG Subclass Composition Associated with COVID-19 Disease Severity","source":"preprints","abstract":"Summary COVID-19 is associated with a wide spectrum of disease severity, ranging from asymptomatic to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Paradoxically, a direct relationship has been suggested between COVID-19 disease severity, and the levels of circulating SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies, including virus neutralizing titers. Through a serological analysis of serum samples from 536 convalescent healthcare workers, we found that SARS-CoV-2-specific and virus-neutralizing antibody levels were indeed elevated in individuals that experienced severe disease. The severity-associated increase in SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody was dominated by IgG, with an IgG subclass ratio skewed towards elevated receptor binding domain (RBD)- and S1-specific IgG3. However, RBD- and S1-specific IgG1, rather than IgG3 were best correlated with virus-neutralizing titers. We propose that Spike-specific IgG3 subclass utilization contributes to COVID-19 disease severity through potent Fc-mediated effector functions . These results have significant implications for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine design, and convalescent plasma therapy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.10.07.20208603","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020","doi":"10.1101/2020.10.07.20208603","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.3849218","name":"The Eye in the Sky Delivers (and Influences) What You Buy","source":"preprints","abstract":"Imagine that you are at home, when suddenly a drone peers into your window, takes a picture of your wardrobe, familiarizes itself with your fashion preferences, or takes a picture of your kitchen table during dinner. The drone immediately transfers the picture to the commercial platform that operates it, such as Amazon or Uber. The platform in turn targets you with personalized advertisements for merchandise or food, in real time, customized to your lifestyle, at the time when you are most susceptible, manipulating you to make a purchase. How should the law react to this? And what if a drone were to collect information on private individuals in public using sophisticated cameras, sensors and facial recognition software? What if the platform that operates drones were to collect and use information on consumers and third parties? Should the law limit such invasions of privacy? The use of drones is growing rapidly and their technological capabilities are growing exponentially. Drones differ from existing surveillance technology. Their low cost and their ability to fly, equipped with high-resolution cameras, recording systems and sensors, enable them to take in information over longer periods of time and much more effectively than the human eye or ear. Such capabilities are liable to give rise to pervasive surveillance of a kind never known before. Making matters worse, invasion of privacy has serious consequences. By using a network of drone fleets at the service of a single commercial platform, such surveillance could allow the platform to effectively aggregate and analyze tremendous amounts of high-quality information on the parties under surveillance, gain valuable insight on consumers and influence their decisions to order merchandise or food. While much of the scholarship on drone surveillance and invasion of privacy focuses on governmental use and the Fourth Amendment, this Article focuses on the use of drones by private entities engaged in commercial deliveries. Drone deliveries are relatively new; only a few companies have recently overcome the regulatory obstacles to receive Federal Aviation Administration approval for U.S. deliveries. COVID-19 has pushed companies to utilize drones for deliveries and has increased demand for it. Since drones are unmanned, they can deliver food and other products without close contact with the recipient. Such delivery can be safer, faster, cheaper and more efficient than traditional emissaries; yet alongside the benefits, the use of delivery drones can lead to invasion of privacy and can result in abuse of personal data for manipulation, raising significant challenges. This Article addresses the challenges drones pose to privacy and proposes solutions. It aims to contribute to the literature in several ways. First, it outlines a roadmap of the different types of invasion of privacy and harm that can be caused by drones. It demonstrates that the physical boundaries of invasion no longer matter in light of advanced technology. In identifying types of invasion and harm, this Article takes the first step towards creating a legal policy for delivery drones. Second, this Article addresses existing law, arguing that currently there is a gap between the capacity of drones to observe and aggregate personal information and privacy protections under U.S. law. Third, it proposes solutions under privacy law, and even a duty of loyalty for platforms that operate drones. Finally, this Article accounts for possible First Amendment objections to the proposed solutions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3849218","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3849218","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2022.07.19.500614","name":"Slow integrin-dependent migration organizes networks of tissue-resident mast cells","source":"preprints","abstract":"SUMMARY Many leukocytes use fast and flexible amoeboid migration strategies to move autonomously throughout tissues. Here, we show that the movement of mast cells (MCs), leukocytes with important roles during allergies and anaphylaxis, fundamentally differs from this rapid adhesion-free leukocyte migration. We identify a crucial role for integrin-dependent adhesion in controlling slow MC movement, which shapes the positioning and network-like tissue distribution of this long-lived immune cell type. In contrast to other immune and non-immune cells, MCs cannot compensate for the lack of integrin function by switching to another migration mode. Single-cell RNA-sequencing revealed a special role for integrins in defining a mature MC phenotype in the periarteriolar tissue space where several stromal cell types provide an anatomical niche rich in Kit ligand, the major MC growth and survival factor. Collectively, this study highlights substrate-dependent haptokinesis as an important mechanism for MC network formation and the tissue organization of resident immune cells.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.07.19.500614","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.1101/2022.07.19.500614","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202010.0330.v2","name":"COVID-19: Rethinking the Lockdown Groupthink","source":"preprints","abstract":"The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide pandemic in 2020.

The public health goal of lockdowns was to save the population from COVID-19 cases and deaths, and to prevent overwhelming health care systems with COVID-19 patients.

Third, I describe how reality started sinking in, with information on significant collateral damage due to the response to the pandemic, and information placing the number of deaths in context and perspective. Fourth, I present a cost-benefit analysis of the response to COVID-19 that finds lockdowns are far more harmful to public health than COVID-19 can be.

This approach has several important implications, including that courts should stop avoiding reaching the merits of nuisance claims by relying on preemption and abstention doctrines, as they have done with recent claims involving Covid-19, interstate air pollution, and climate change. Another implication is that, contrary to leading commentators and some courts, public nuisance liability sometimes should encompass the manufacturing and distribution of products that result in health crises, such as the opioid addiction crisis.

Why Market Fundamentalism and the Trump Administration Fail to Protect Public Health and the Economy","source":"preprints","abstract":"This paper makes a simple point about the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for many spheres of life in the 21st century. • The U.S. had one of the worst policy responses in the world to the pandemic, certainly among the large, high-income democracies, including Asian (e.g. South Korea), European (e.g. Germany), and other nations (e.g. Australia). That response was driven by a view of political economy that rejects the idea that society can impose social responsibility on its members, even under the most dire of circumstances. This political economy rests on a belief that markets perform perfectly when government gets out of the way and the pursuit of individual interests is synonymous with the public good. Currently called market fundamentalism, it was known as laissez faire economics and social Darwinism for well over a century. The paper refers to the Trump administration and it supporters. Although the overwhelming majority of Trump administration supporters were Republicans, some were not. Indeed, a few were very vocal about it, like Larry Hogan, the Republican Governor of Maryland and the Chairman of the National Governors’ Association. Hogan’s critique outlined many of the key facts about the Trump administration response to the pandemic that will be documented and demonstrated in this paper. In typical fashion Hogan’s comments were dismissed by the Trump administration, but Hogan defended himself. He argued that the Trump administration was: 1) slow to act, 2) failed to take implement policies that could have saved many lives, 3) downplayed the importance of the virus, 4) pressed to reopen the economy too soon, 5) focused on “his reelection plans, 6) disregarded the science, 7) ignored the facts and data presented by its own experts, 8) made misleading statements about the state of testing, 9) competed with the states for medical equipment, 10) flip-flopped on who was responsible for the response, 11) incorrectly placed the blame on Obama, 12) attacked the South Koreans, who actually had a much better policy response. 13) Trump he said was his own worst enemy and 14) failed to understand that controlling the virus first was the key to reopening the economy The report integrates over 140 detailed studies prepared in the past six months, embodying significant resources expended by four types of institutions. • Official documents of multinational and national public health and economic institutions, • academic publications and papers, • trade and issue specific press and association reports, and • detailed accounts from investigative journalism The paper integrates these longer studies is 115 shorter articles by 100 journalists representing 50 news organizations. The mid-July disputes between the Trump administration and Governor Hogan, and Dr. Andrew Fauci are used to anchor the analysis in the paper. Hogan may be the exception that proves the rule, but the evidence reviewed in this report shows he was right and Trump was wrong. I believe that the expression “the Trump Administration and its supporters” is fair and accurate for both COVID-19 and climate change. As a result, it is clear that the U.S. policy was too slow, too weak and too short. Examining over 140 recent historical and contemporary case studies, results of epidemiological and econometric models, and investigative analyses, this paper shows that more effective public health policy would also have been good economic policy and had better political results because the public would have been reassured and the economy could have been opened sooner. Ultimately, the costs of this policy failure can only be described as catastrophic, imposing unnecessary harms in three areas. Public Health, at least • 120,000 deaths, • half a million hospitalizations, and • 2.5 million infections. Economic, likely to be • $7 trillion in lost output. • Trillions of dollars increased debt, and • Hundreds of millions of dollars of lost employment Political: • Continuing resistance by the vast majority of the public to engaging in the activities the administration seems to value most • A preference for local officials to set policy • A collapse of public confidence in the administration to deal with the problem, and • A dramatic reduction in support for and the electability of the administration and its supporters. The policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic highlights and magnifies a much broader weakness. This paper concludes with a brief analysis of a parallel the knee-jerk, market fundamentalist response – to climate change. The 19th century view of political economy cannot cope with the challenges of the contemporary global community of over seven billion individuals in 200 nations interconnected in the biosphere (pandemic,) the atmosphere (climate change) and the economic sphere (financial, trade and recessionary meltdowns, and technology diffusion). The analysis of the climate challenge and the other global spheres where policy must be made in the face of great uncertainty points to an approach that emphasizes precaution, science, information gathering, flexibility, and cooperative governance and that recognizes both the importance and limitations of policy making authorities at the international, national, state and local levels. These are the exact opposite of the approach taken in the U.S.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3693861","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3693861","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4062021","name":"The New Southern Policy Plus Progress and Way Forward","source":"preprints","abstract":"Over the past three decades, the Republic of Korea (hereinafter, Korea) has shown a great commitment to cooperating with ASEAN member states and India. Starting with the establishment of a sectoral dialogue partnership in 1989, Korea has developed a comprehensive partnership with ASEAN over the years. The ASEAN-KOREA FTA was completed in 2009 and the elevation of bilateral relations to a ‘strategic partnership’ in 2010 served as a momentum to strengthen our economic and security partnership. By sharing cultural proximity rooted in Asian values, ASEAN and Korea have also enjoyed robust socio-cultural exchanges. Meanwhile, regarding to India and Korea relations, both countries established a long-term cooperative partnership for peace and prosperity in October 2004 as a channel to enhance mutual interests between the two countries. Korea has further deepened its relations with India by concluding the CEPA in 2009 and upgrading its relations into a ‘special strategic partnership’ in 2015. The New Southern Policy (hereinafter NSP), announced in November 2017 in Indonesia, has further deepened Korea’s strategic partnership with ASEAN and India under the vision of achieving a ‘People-centered Community of Peace and Prosperity.’ ASEAN-Korea relations were developed to a level of Korea’s diplomatic ties with the United States, China, Japan, and Russia. The India-Korea Summit of 2018 adopted the Shared Vision for People, Prosperity, Peace, and the Future to strengthen mid-to-long term bilateral relations. President Moon Jae-in visited all ASEAN member states and had two summit meetings with India. Moreover, the Korean government hosted the ASEAN-ROK Commemorative Summit, launching the first Mekong-ROK Summit in 2019. The NSP pursues the three pillars of People, Peace, and Prosperity as a common foundation to realize its vision. ‘People’ aims to make safer, better lives and greater interaction in the NSP region, that is, ASEAN member states and India. ‘Peace’ seeks a community where all are free from fear or threat. The goal of ‘Prosperity’ aims to create mutually beneficial and future-oriented economic cooperation. The number of visitors, trade volume, and investment between Korea and the NSP region has unprecedently increased with the help of NSP partners’ policies. The NSP has since evolved into the NSP Plus amid the Covid-19 pandemic and the US-China rivalry. Korea and NSP partners together have to overcome the global health crisis and reconstruct global value chains to ensure the safety of the people and free trade in the region. To achieve these goals, the Korean government presented an upgraded version of the NSP in November 2020, reflecting changes in the current environment for cooperation. The NSP Plus promotes seven Initiatives as follows: 1) comprehensive healthcare cooperation, 2) sharing Korea’s education model for human resource development, 3) promotion of mutual cultural exchanges, 4) formation of mutually beneficial and sustainable trade and investment, 5) support for rural villages and urban infrastructure development, 6) cooperation in future industries for common prosperity, and 7) cooperation for safe and peaceful communities. In this context, this publication aims at examining the progress of the NSP Plus and discussing a way forward for sustainable cooperation between Korea and NSP partners. It comprises four sections and eighteen chapters. Section 1 provides overviews of the NSP Plus from the perspectives of Korea, ASEAN, and India to evaluate the NSP in a more comprehensive manner. Sections 2 and 3 deal with a sectoral analysis of the NSP Plus including trade, investment, infrastructure, human resource development, and security in the divisions of ASEAN and India. Section 4 summarizes the progress of NSP Plus in the region, suggesting prospects and future tasks to further expand cooperative relations between Korea and NSP partners. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the distinguished scholars from Korea and NSP partners who have gladly contributed to this publication. Special appreciation goes to honorable ambassadors for their insightful overviews of the NSP Plus: Ambassador Kim Young-sun, Ambassador Shin Bongkil, Ambassador Ong Keng Yong, and Ambassador Mohan Kumar. I am also grateful to our research fellows and senior researchers in the New Southern Policy Department at the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP), who managed the whole publication process and contributed two chapters in Section 4. I hope that this publication can promote active discussions on new visions and policy proposals for the New Southern Policy Plus, as we work to advance together in the fast-changing global environments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4062021","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4062021","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.3715862","name":"The Capital Commons: Digital Money and Citizens' Finance in a Productive Commercial Republic","source":"preprints","abstract":"All societies must address two questions where the organization of productive activity is concerned. The first is whether production will be mainly publicly managed, privately managed, or 'mixed.' The second is whether the financing of production will be mainly publicly managed, privately managed, or mixed. In the American commercial republic, we seem more or less to have answered the 'who does production' question to our own satisfaction. From the founding era to the present, we have elected to leave production primarily, though not of course solely, 'in private hands.' Where the financing of production is concerned, on the other hand, we have been more ambivalent. For the past 160 years, our financial system has operated as a public-private franchise arrangement. At the core of our franchise lie the sovereign public (the 'public' of our 'republic') and its money-modulator - the issuer and manager of its monetized full faith and credit, its 'money' - on the one hand, and the private sector financial institutions and markets we publicly license to allocate most of the resultant Wicksellian 'bank money' or 'credit-money' on the other hand. At the periphery of the franchise lie those institutions and markets that 'shadow bank' through relations with the banking core. In recent years, developments in several distinct spaces have prompted what amounts to a broad reassessment of our hybrid financial arrangements. One such development is weariness with our system's penchant for over-generating public credit that fuels bubbles and busts rather than production, a product of leaving our public capital - by far the greater part of investment capital - to private management. This is what the author has long called poor credit modulation. Another ground of critique is our hybrid system's poor record on what the author has long called credit allocation, from which modulation turns out to be inseparable. Our morbid fear of explicitly, rather than implicitly, ‘picking winners and losers’ is the culprit here. Finally, other sources of disenchantment are our system's long-term worsening of inequality, the scandal of commercial and financial exclusion our system permits, and the promise offered by new financial technologies where ending both that and leaky monetary policy are concerned. The current COVID pandemic and recent murder of George Floyd of course underscore these sources of disillusion. This article embraces these critiques, which the author himself has leveled continuously over the past fifteen years, argues that privately ordered production requires publicly ordered finance, and shows how to order finance publicly on a Fed balance sheet forthrightly recognized as a Citizens’ Ledger. New public investments will make up the asset side of the upgraded Fed balance sheet, while a corresponding system of digital public banking through ‘FedWallets’ will upgrade the liability side of the same. Newly restored regional Fed functionalities ('Spreading the Fed'), an FSOC-inspired National Reconstruction and Development Council (NRDC) and its financing arm (a restored RFC), and a price-stabilizing 'People's Portfolio' round out the new system of Citizens' Finance. In the course of its arguments, the article traces all salient consequences that flow from its complete overhaul of our system of financing production, from banking through ‘shadow banking’ to the capital markets. It also makes some surprising discoveries along the way. Among these is that full separation of Fed and Treasury and hence monetary and fiscal policy, itself an artifact of franchise finance and hence the false hope of separating credit modulation from credit allocation, is no longer tenable. Another is that global central bank digital currency (CBDC) development is now corroborating much of what the article argues.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3715862","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3715862","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.3706529","name":"Money and Punishment, Circa 2020","source":"preprints","abstract":"Money has a long history of being used as punishment, and punishment has a long history of being used discriminatorily and violently against communities of color. This volume surveys the literature on the many misuses of money as punishment and the range of efforts underway to undo the webs of fines, fees, assessments, charges, and surcharges that have been used as sources of funds for governments at all levels. Whether in domains that are denominated “civil,” “criminal,” or “administrative,” and whether the needs are about law, health care, employment, housing, education, or safety services, racism intersects with the criminalization of poverty in all of life’s sectors to impose harms felt disproportionately by people of color. These materials are lengthy because of the proliferation of research on this subject, as well as the need to bridge legal and public finance analyses. The first segment, using “Ferguson as a Frame,” reflects the impact of the killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson in 2014 and of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020, as well as the mass protest movement underway related to those events. Documentation from policing, prosecution, detention, and probation to prisons is plentifulthat these systems exemplify the over-control of individuals and communities of color and the under-control of state violence. Local groups in Missouri have released analyses of the events and, in 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a report detailing how the police, courts, and elected officials in the City of Ferguson, Missouri, chose to exploit low-income people of color by discriminatorily imposing fines and fees to fund the city’s budget. Commentators analyze what “Ferguson” does, should, or could mean. The excerpts address what has, and has not, changed since 2015 at local, state, and national levels. The need for money (sought by governments and spent by governments and private actors)is the justification for a wide array of fees and assessments. As these authors explain, the desire to punish through money has produced a welter of fines and economic penalties. The second segment, Funding Government: Fiscal Incentives, Inequalities, Reform, and Abolition, reflects the importance of understanding public finance systems and tax mechanisms to learn how to alter structures of government funding to reduce or eliminate monetary sanctions. The questions are why and how government funds are collected and allocated, and the impact of various modes of financing. Researchers have documented how certain funding mechanisms produce and reinforce inequality, and have honed in on the effects of funding government services through fines and fees in state and local public finance systems. The readings consider the decision-making and the politics that drive assessments. Knowing these incentives is requisite to changing them, and throughout this volume, commentators examine means to stop pernicious fiscal policymaking. The third segment, The Practices, Law, and Harms of Tying Monetary Assessments to Law Enforcement Systems, includes readings about the history of criminal legal obligations, their impacts on individuals and families, how the harms track race and class, and what changes could make dents in the systems of unfairness. Excerpted essays explore government funding mechanisms and examine the formal distinctions among categories labeled “tax,” “fine,” and “fee,” their functional overlaps, and their effects. Other materials address aspects of constitutional and state and municipal law that frame some of the discussion and litigation. As recounted, concerns about “excessive” economic burdens imposed by governments have a long history. In the English-United States legal system, governments are forbidden from levying “excessive fines” and from imposing “cruel and unusual punishments,” as well as required to respect life, liberty, and property. Since the 1980s, governments cannot turn monetary obligations into incarceration. While some commentators and jurists call for these constitutional rights to stop systems of punishment that “ruin” individuals, these provisions have not yet been read to end the racial and economic oppression of legal assessments. Indeed, through the post-Civil War Black Codes, convict leasing, and peonage systems, and with expansion of criminal systems in recent decades and charges of “pay to stay” in jails and prisons, inequalities abound and “ruin” has resulted. In addition, several commentators address jurisdiction-specific harms and make proposals for change. Excerpted are a series of case studies, analyses of race as a key variable, and arguments for how and why to revise, reform, and transform the use of money in conjunction with courts. The final set of edited readings, In the Courts and Legislatures, Circa 2020, and Shadowed by COVID-19, provide a partial account of the many lawsuits and legislative initiatives between 2018 and 2020, including recent months when COVID-19 came to dominate the world. As the judicial opinions reflect, some federal appellate courts are proffering limited readings of the 1980s precedents and narrowing the scope of constitutional protection for the intersection of poverty and of the “use” (voluntary or not) of courts. This volume is the fourth in a series of co-edited, interrelated monographs focused on money as sanctions. In 2018, the volume Who Pays? Fines, Fees, Bail, and the Cost of Courts mapped the many modes by which localities tie their work to funds obtained from individuals, disproportionately poor and of color, who make payments as part of the law enforcement system.

Investors who successfully navigate the initial challenges of product choice overload, and opaque index construction methodology, soon encounter a wide array of discretionary operational, management, marketing, and financial practices of ETF sponsors that combine to undermine simple product and performance comparisons. This dilemma is compounded by disclosure effectiveness challenges given investor cognitive limitations and behavioral tendencies. This article is the first scholarly work, amongst a growing body of ETF studies, to illustrate why accurate “apples to applesâ€� product comparisons in ETFs are so challenging (at times even impossible) to perform. It presents a variety of ETF case studies to demonstrate this challenge including recent performance instabilities in the coronavirus pandemic. It advocates for continued positive momentum around investor-focused reforms in ETFs, building on encouraging steps undertaken by the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission in its recent “Rule 6c-11â€� under the Investment Company Act of 1940. It makes several recommendations to improve ETF product comparisons including standardizing website formats and layouts for information presentation, uniform calculation methodologies of key ETF variables, an ETF naming convention, and standard terms in sustainable investing. ETF investors would also greatly benefit from a systematized and structured electronic reporting mechanism whereby standardized data is provided by ETF sponsors to a centrally controlled public repository. Additional studies are warranted on strategic ETF disclosure ordering, digital enhancement, and added contextual discussion around critical concepts like arbitrage and index composition methodology. The ETF “model portfolioâ€� industry is also an emerging concern that should be assessed, and the article provides suggestions to reduce informational opacity and improve comparative assessments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3680219","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3680219","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.148Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.313Z"},{"id":"oa:W4413138808","name":"Tracing Blue Carbon Flows Across Diverse Seascapes","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT Plants occupying coastal ecosystems draw in carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the air and water around them during photosynthesis. A fraction of this CO 2 becomes fixed into plant biomass and can eventually contribute to the blue carbon pool—organic carbon (C org ) sequestered in slow‐turnover sinks. An important step in protecting and enhancing this natural carbon sequestration pathway is determining the relative contributions of different coastal plants to this blue carbon pool in durable sinks. We compiled a global dataset of coastal soil carbon measurements and used a Bayesian hierarchical meta‐regression model to explore the relative contribution of local (autochthonous) versus external (allochthonous) sources of C org in the soils beneath tidal saltmarsh, mangrove, and seagrass wetlands. We found most soil C org in coastal wetlands came from allochthonous sources, rather than the habitat‐forming plants. Managing climate‐resilient blue carbon seascapes, therefore, requires an awareness of this portfolio of contributors to soil carbon sequestration. However, study design aspects such as soil sampling depth, levels of sample replication, and the modeling approach used to trace C org can have pronounced effects on the estimated contributions of different carbon sources. We outline a roadmap for improving how we track the various drivers of soil carbon sequestration in diverse mosaics of coastal vegetation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70420","authors":["Christopher J.

Recently, direct-ink-writing (DIW) technology has shown a growing trend because of its controllability, ease of fabrication, and efficiency. However, the design novelty of printable ink for soft electronic textiles is severely hampered by the intrinsic challenges of integrating printability, conductivity, stretchability, biocompatibility, and durability. Herein, a reusable DIW bio-carbon gel ink is proposed for printing soft electronic textiles where cottonseed peptone-functionalized multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CPCNTs) exhibit high dispersibility and reactive surface groups, enabling stable cross-linking with phytic acid (PA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to form a strong ionic polymer composite. Encouragingly, the gel ink can be directly exploited to design complex circuits and versatile electronics via DIW printing on both polymeric and textile substrates. The viscoelasticity, mechanical recovery, electric properties, robustness, and stretchable architectures enable it to function as flexible circuits, smart sensors, and renewable generators. As demonstrations, multifunctional applications are presented by real-time healthcare monitoring, LED lighting, and power generation. Furthermore, this printable gel ink is effectively assembled into an integrated wearable unit for robot manipulation and real-time gesture recognition, suggesting a significant printing strategy for next-generation wearable electronics.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202415702","authors":["King Yan Chung","Di Tan","Zheyu He","Xiao Li","Jian Lü","Qingjun Yang","Xinlong Liu","Bingang Xu"],"tags":["Materials science","Nanotechnology","Inkwell","Electronics","Printed electronics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202415702","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W2218670907","name":"Techno-economic performance and spatial footprint of infrastructure configurations for large scale CO2 capture in industrial zones","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2015.05.019","authors":["Niels Berghout","Takeshi Kuramochi","Machteld van den Broek","André Faaij"],"tags":["Footprint","Scale (ratio)","Environmental science","Ecological footprint","Carbon footprint"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-06-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2015.05.019","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415513248","name":"Materials for thermochemical energy storage and conversion: attributes for low-temperature applications","source":"openalex","abstract":", heat - would improve the efficiencies of numerous processes throughout multiple sectors of the global economy. Nevertheless, the development of these thermal storage devices remains at a relatively early stage. To engage more researchers in the development of these devices and to accelerate their commercialization, this review presents an introduction to the properties of thermal storage materials that absorb and release heat through thermochemical reactions. Thermochemical materials typically exhibit the largest energy densities among all approaches to material-based heat storage. Nevertheless, they suffer from limited reaction rates and poor cycle life. An additional challenge is the multiscale nature of the energy storage process, which ranges from atomistic interactions that govern the storage of heat through alteration of chemical bonds, to mesoscale processes that control the transport of mass and heat. Following an overview of general concepts related to thermal energy storage, emphasis is placed on describing properties relevant for low-temperature applications. These applications include domestic heat storage/amplification (hot water heating), adsorptive cooling (air conditioning), and heat-moisture recuperation. Subsequently, detailed introductions are provided to the mechanisms and materials relevant for the three primary approaches to low-temperature thermochemical storage, including: (i) absorption in solids (hydrates, ammoniates, and methanolates); (ii) adsorption in porous hosts (zeolites, metal-organic frameworks); and (iii) dilution in liquids. For each category, advantages and shortcomings of benchmark and emerging materials are discussed. Finally, challenges and opportunities are highlighted for research aimed at developing optimal materials for thermochemical energy storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5mh01794g","authors":["Steven Kiyabu","Alexandr Shkatulov","Alauddin Ahmed","Samuel M.

A comparison of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced from conventionally fuelled buses (CFB), EBs and HBs between 2017 and 2050 under four National Grid electricity scenarios was conducted. In addition, emissions per person at different vehicle capacity levels (100%, 75%, 50% and 25%) were projected for CFBs, HBs, EBs and personal transport assuming a maximum of 80 passengers per bus and four per personal vehicle. Results indicated that CFVs produced 30 gCO2 km−1 per person compared to 16.3 gCO2 km−1 per person by CFBs by 2050. At 100% capacity, under the two-degree scenario, CFB emissions were 36 times higher than EBs, 9 times higher than HBs and 12 times higher than EVs in 2050. Cumulative emissions under all electricity scenarios remained lower for EBs and HBs. Policy makers need to focus on encouraging a modal shift from personal transport towards sustainable public transport, primarily EBs as the lowest level emitting vehicle type. Simple electrification of personal vehicles will not meet the required targets. Simultaneously, CFBs need to be replaced with EBs and HBs if the UK is going to meet emission targets.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2020.102350","authors":["Kathryn G. Logan","John D.

Existing studies mostly focus on single energy or carbon trading scenarios and lack a multi-market coupling mechanism supported by blockchain technology, resulting in low transaction transparency and a high risk of information tampering. For this reason, this paper proposes a synergistic optimization strategy for electricity/carbon/green certificate virtual power plants based on blockchain cross-chain transactions. First, Latin Hypercubic Sampling (LHS) is used to generate new energy output and load scenarios, and the K-means clustering method with improved particle swarm optimization are combined to cut down the scenarios and improve the prediction accuracy; second, a relay chain cross-chain trading framework integrating quota system is constructed to realize organic synergy and credible data interaction among electricity, carbon, and green certificate markets; lastly, the multi-energy optimization model of the virtual power plant is designed to integrate carbon capture, Finally, a virtual power plant multi-energy optimization model is designed, integrating carbon capture, power-to-gas (P2G) and other technologies to balance the economy and low-carbon goals. The simulation results show that compared with the traditional model, the proposed strategy reduces the carbon emission intensity by 13.3% (1.43 tons/million CNY), increases the rate of new energy consumption to 98.75%, and partially offsets the cost through the carbon trading revenue, which verifies the Pareto improvement of environmental and economic benefits. This study provides theoretical support for the synergistic optimization of multi-energy markets and helps to build a low-carbon power system with a high proportion of renewable energy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18133443","authors":["Chao Zheng","Wei Huang","Suwei Zhai","Kaiyan Pan","Xuehao He","Xiaojie Liu","Shi Su","Cong Shen","Qian Ai"],"tags":["Blockchain","Certificate","Electricity","Business","Coupling (piping)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18133443","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409157972","name":"Fungal endophytes influence soil organic carbon and nitrogen fractions promoting carbon sequestration and improving grain yield in soybean","source":"openalex","abstract":"Fungal endophyte inoculants present a promising avenue for enhancing carbon sequestration in agricultural systems. These endophytes can significantly influence soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) fractions by modulating root exudation, soil aggregation, and organic matter decomposition. We investigated the effectiveness of commercial-stage fungal endophyte seed inoculants in an Australian soybean field trial to increase yield, total SOC, stable SOC fractions, and soil N. After one growing season, specific inoculants (Thozetella sp. and Leptodontidium sp.) and dosages increased soybean grain yield and stocks of soil organic matter (SOM) as aggregate occluded particulate organic matter (oPOM) C and N, and mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) C and N in the topsoil layer (0-15 cm). Furthermore, positive correlations were established between grain yield and the stocks of oPOM (C and N) and MAOM (C and N) in the topsoil layer (0-15 cm). Importantly, increasing grain yield was significantly and positively associated with the proportion of oPOM-C and N stocks to total SOM stock, providing evidence of significant carbon sequestration in oPOM. However, the proportion of MAOM-C and N stock to total SOM stock decreased significantly with increasing grain yield, indicating higher proportion of MAOM is being turned over relative to other SOM fractions although the absolute amounts of MAOM-C and N remained stable. These findings suggest that fungal endophytes and dosages may have variable but potentially beneficial impacts on crop growth, yield and play a crucial role in altering SOM fractions. This alteration potentially leads to changed carbon sequestration strategies, emphasising the need for further research into fungal endophyte-mediated carbon sequestration mechanisms.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-94982-3","authors":["Vijaya Singh","Harshi K.

The Bojonegara power plant comprises 2×1000 MWe Ultra Super Critical Units, while Muara Enim consists of 2×300 MWe subcritical units. Those two power plants will produce approximately 11 and 4 million tons of CO 2 per year. The geology of South Sumatera and West Java Basins are proven to have kept oil and gas in place safely for long time periods and there are many oil and gas companies production still active in those basins. Those basins are confirmed to be used as storage of CO 2 , where capacity, injectivity, and confinement will be suitable to keep CO 2 in place for a period of time. CO 2 production from those power plants in South Sumatera and West Java may be offered to the nearby oil companies and transported to oil fields for CO 2 -EOR flooding to get additional revenue. A preliminary CO 2 -EOR screening has been done for the oil fields surrounding the power plants. There are two types of mechanisms for CO 2 -EOR, which depend on the nature of the oilfield: immiscible EOR and miscible EOR. Immiscible EOR occurs where the injected CO 2 does not mix with the oil but instead displaces the oil from the area where the CO 2 is injected and increases the pressure of the oil at the production wells so that it can be pumped out. Miscible EOR occurs where the supercritical CO 2 mixes miscibility with the residual oil to make it less viscous and facilitating its flow to the production wells. A total of 127 oil fields in South Sumatera has been analyzed to select which of those fields fulfill CO 2 -EOR injection criteria. EOR reservoir screenings were performed on those oil fields on which detailed information was available using the screening criteria proposed by Taber et al. The criteria include a set of parameters such as API gravity, oil viscosity, current pressure, temperature, oil saturation, remaining oil, formation depth, thickness, porosity, permeability, and rock type which help to determine whether or not a reservoir is suitable for CO 2 -EOR injection. 96 fields are classified as miscible displacement while the remaining 31 fields are categorized as immiscible. The result shows that the potency of additional recovery from those fields is around 661 million stock tank barrels with CO 2 requirement of approximately 243 million tonnes. In addition to EOR, pure CCS to inject the CO 2 emission into depleted gas fields in West Java and South Sumatera regions is also considered. The maximum storage capacity of West Java gas fields is approximately 395 million tonnes, while the storage capacity of South Sumatera is around 537 million tonnes. The potential for storing CO 2 in the saline aquifer was also calculated theoretically. The depleted gas fields and aquifers are considered enough to store the CO 2 emission from the power plants as long as 25 years.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2017.03.1598","authors":["Oki Hedriana","Sugihardjo Sugihardjo","Usman Usman"],"tags":["Enhanced oil recovery","Java","Petroleum engineering","Environmental science","Structural basin"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2017-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2017.03.1598","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z"},{"id":"oa:W2924729586","name":"International Oil Companies’ Low-Carbon Strategies: Confronting the Challenges and Opportunities of Global Energy Transition","source":"openalex","abstract":"The traditional petroleum industry has already sensed the rising pressure and challenges from the historical energy transition toward a low-carbon energy future.

Energy intensity and the use of fossil fuels both raise CO₂ emissions, whereas environmental taxes and the generation of renewable energy significantly reduce carbon emissions, especially at higher quantiles.

It mimics pore-scale preferential flow, or piping flow, in porous media, in which fluids naturally follow the least-resistance paths. This algorithm leverages the mathematical similarity between microscale hydraulics, pipeline flow, and cost models to facilitate cost-optimized network evolution. Nationwide simulations reveal that standalone CCUS projects in four coal-based energy and industrial sectors achieve 5.7 Gt/a at levelized costs of <$90/ton. In contrast, hub-and-spoke clusters reach 6.5 Gt/a under the same threshold in China. The resulting networks feature bimodal centroid-governed architectures that route carbon fluxes between emission sources and storage sinks while circumventing high-cost zones, with distinct regional signatures: radial configurations in northwestern basins, north–south corridors across southern China, multicentric layouts in the northeast, and land-ocean integrated west-to-east pathways in eastern regions.

Unlike conventional surfactants, amino acids facilitated rapid methane recovery through heat stimulation while effectively mitigating foam formation. Here the authors show that by using amino acid–modified ice under mild conditions, methane storage exhibited a 30-fold increase in capacity and a 29-fold enhancement in reaction kinetics compared to unmodified ice.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-63699-2","authors":["Ye Zhang","Yunhan Ma","Kan Jeenmuang","Gaurav Vishwakarma","Chang‐Yu Sun","Guangjin Chen","Praveen Linga"],"tags":["Methane","Clathrate hydrate","Hydrate","Chemistry","Natural gas"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-63699-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4417157325","name":"Electrochemical CO 2 Capture by a Quinone-Based Covalent Organic Framework","source":"europepmc","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Electrochemical CO 2 capture is an emerging technology that promises to be more energy-efficient than traditional thermal or pressure-swing processes.

Arrangements and technologies such as the electricity–carbon–certificate multi-market, microgrids with direct green power connections, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) retrofitting provide favorable conditions for facing the aforementioned challenge. Based on an analysis of how liquid-storage CCS retrofitting affects the flexibility of thermal power units, this manuscript proposes a bi-level optimization model and solution method for capacity allocation for grid-connected microgrids, while considering CCS retrofits under multi-markets. This approach overcomes two key deficiencies in the existing research: first, neglecting the relationship between electricity–carbon coupling characteristics and unit flexibility and its potential impacts, and second, the significant deviation of scenarios constructed from real policy and market environments, which limits its ability to provide timely and relevant references. A case study in southern China demonstrates that first, multi-market implementation significantly boosts microgrids’ investment in and absolute consumption of renewable energy. However, its effect on reducing carbon emissions is limited, and renewable power curtailment may surge, potentially deviating from the original intent of carbon neutrality policies. In this case study, renewable energy installed capacity and consumption rose by 17.09% and 22.64%, respectively, while net carbon emissions decreased by only 3.32%, and curtailed power nearly doubled. Second, introducing liquid-storage CCS, which decouples the CO2 absorption and desorption processes, into the capacity allocation significantly enhances microgrid flexibility, markedly reduces the risk of overcapacity in renewable energy units, and enhances investment efficiency. In this case study, following CCS retrofits, renewable energy unit installed capacity decreased by 24%, while consumption dropped by only 7.28%, utilization hours increased by 22%, and the curtailment declined by 78.05%. Third, although CCS retrofitting can significantly reduce microgrid carbon emissions, factors such as current carbon prices, technological efficiency, and economic characteristics hinder large-scale adoption. In this case study, under multi-markets, CCS retrofitting reduced net carbon emissions by 86.16%, but the annualized total cost rose by 3.68%. Finally, based on the aforementioned findings, this manuscript discusses implications for microgrid development decision making, CCS industrialization, and market mechanisms from the perspectives of research directions, policy formulation, and practical work.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17219588","authors":["Yanbin Xu","Jiaxin Ma","Yi Liao","Shifang Kuang","Shasha Luo","Ming Zeng"],"tags":["Retrofitting","Environmental economics","Flexibility (engineering)","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Renewable energy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17219588","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4302761321","name":"Zero‐Carbon Emission Chemical Method to Remove Formaldehyde without Catalyst by Highly Porous Polymer Composites at Room Temperature","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Herein, the fabrication of reduced graphene oxide (RGO)‐templated polymer composites for chemical removal of gaseous formaldehyde under ambient conditions is presented.

Sorption-based TCMs, especially salt hydrates, benefit from nano-engineering through carbon-based additives like CNTs and graphene, which enhance thermal conductivity and reaction kinetics while achieving volumetric energy densities exceeding 200 kWh/m3.

This study compared the influence of connected saltmarsh meadows (adjacent to mangroves) with individual saltmarsh meadows across four tropical locations and assessed their carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content in sediment, biomass, various plant traits and C stocks.

Connectivity resulted in increased of plant shoot density, and biomass by 1.7-fold and 1.5-fold respectively than individual saltmarsh meadows.

Strategies to reduce emissions include the adoption of low-carbon fuels, the use of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, and the integration of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to reduce the clinker content. The effectiveness of these measures depends on a complex set of interactions involving technological feasibility, market dynamics, and regulatory frameworks. This study presents a system dynamics model designed to assess how various decarbonization approaches influence long-term emission trends within the cement industry. The model accounts for supply chains, production technologies, market adoption rates, and changes in cement production costs. This study then analyzes a number of scenarios where there is large-scale sustained investment in each of three carbon mitigation strategies. The results show that CCS by itself allows the cement industry to achieve carbon neutrality, but the high capital investment results in a large cost increase for cement. A combined approach using alternative fuels and SCMs was found to achieve a large carbon reduction without a sustained increase in cement prices, highlighting the trade-offs between cost, effectiveness, and system-wide interactions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17157128","authors":["Vikram Mittal","Logan Dosan"],"tags":["Reduction (mathematics)","System dynamics","Cement","Carbon fibers","Dynamics (music)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17157128","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W1563464128","name":"An Economic Breakeven Model of Cellulosic Feedstock Production and Ethanol Conversion with Implied Carbon Pricing","source":"openalex","abstract":"The objectives of this paper include: 1) developing an economic framework to estimate long run equilibrium breakeven prices that cellulosic ethanol processors can pay for the marginal or last unit of biomass feedstock they purchase and still breakeven and that cellulosic feedstock producers need to receive for supplying the last unit of feedstock delivered to a commercial-scale plant; 2) estimating the gap or difference between the biorefinery’s willingness to pay (WTP) or derived demand for the last unit of cellulosic feedstock and the suppliers’ willingness to accept (WTA) or marginal cost (MC) of supplying the last unit of feedstock; 3) completing a life-cycle analysis (LCA) of each feedstock alternative or a “well-to-wheels” accounting of the potential greenhouse gas (GHG) savings associated with feedstock-specific ethanol relative to gasoline; and 4) calculating the carbon price or credit necessary for a biofuel market to exist in the long run.

An attractive alternative to reduce the energy requirement is gas pressurized stripping, in which a high pressure noncondensable gas is used to strip CO 2 off the rich solvent stream. The gas pressurized stripping column product, having CO 2 at high concentration and high partial pressure, can then be regenerated readily using membrane separation. In this study, we performed an energetic analysis in the form of total equivalent work and found that, for capturing CO 2 from flue gas, this hybrid stripping process consumes 49% less energy compared to the base case conventional MEA absorption/steam stripping process. We also found the amount of membrane required in this process is much less than required for direct CO 2 capture from the flue gas: approximately 100-fold less than a previously published two-stage cross-flow scheme, mostly due to the more favorable pressure ratio and CO 2 concentration. There does exist a trade-off between energy consumption and required membrane area that is most strongly affected by the gas pressurized stripper operating pressure. While initial analysis looks promising from both an energy requirement and membrane unit capital cost, the viability of this hybrid process depends on the availability of advanced, next generation gas separation membranes to perform the stripping gas regeneration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.6b01656","authors":["Victor Kusuma","Zhiwei Li","David Hopkinson","David R.

In agreement with the Paris Accords, most of the AGC have published short-term goals to reduce their carbon emissions in the coming decades. In relation to these goals, this study explores the potential CO2 reduction, avoidance and removal in the region, by comparing a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario to three decarbonization scenarios for the power sector. In 2018, the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the AGC were ~1333 MtCO2/yr and are expected to rise to 1568 MtCO2/yr in 2030 following a BAU scenario, which is likely to be reduced to 1522 MtCO2/yr in 2030 by following the countries’ planning. Countries issued plans for the coming decades that focus on increasing the share of renewable energy in their grid mix. The three decarbonization scenarios presented in this study focus on supply-side technological solutions. The retirement of the oldest natural-gas and oil power plants could lead to a total emissions reduction of ~75 MtCO2/yr, without accounting for the embodied carbon emissions associated with renewable energy. In addition, the implementation of point-source capture at power plants expected to retire in >10 years’ time could avoid emissions of ~240 MtCO2/yr, provided the CO2 is permanently sequestered in appropriate geological formations. The region also shows high-quality solar resources and large CO2-storage potential that could couple to direct air-capture plants to offset difficult-to-avoid emissions. This last scenario has the potential to ultimately result in net negative emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ce/zkab015","authors":["Abdulrahman Khalil A Alatiq","Wail Aljedani","Abdullah Abussaud","Omar Algarni","Hélène Pilorgé","Jennifer Wilcox"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Renewable energy","Fossil fuel","Natural resource economics","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-06-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ce/zkab015","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z"},{"id":"oa:W4291815300","name":"Nanoscale Diamane Spiral Spring for High Mechanical Energy Storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract A compact, stable, sustainable, and high‐energy density power supply system is crucial for the engineering deployment of mobile electromechanical devices/systems either at the small‐ or large‐scale. This work proposes a spiral‐based mechanical energy storage scheme utilizing the newly synthesized 2D diamane. Atomistic simulations show that diamane spiral can achieve a high theoretical gravimetric energy density of about 564 Wh kg−1, about 14 500 times the steel spring. The interlayer friction between diamane is found to cause a strong stick–slip effect that results in local stress/strain concentration. As such, the energy storage capacity of the diamane spiral can be tuned by suppressing the influence from the interlayer friction. Simulations affirm that higher gravimetric energy density can be achieved by reducing the turn number or adopting a low friction contact pair. The fundamental principles that dominate the energy storage capacity of the spiral spring are theoretically analyzed, respectively. The obtained insights suggest that the 2D vdW solids can be promising candidates to construct spiral structures with a high gravimetric energy density.

Heterostructured carbon nanotube (CNT)/Co 3 O 4 was synthesized via in situ growth of Co 3 O 4 nanoclusters on CNTs, followed by embedding onto the AP surface through spray drying-suspension coating technology. Comprehensive characterization confirmed the effective anchoring, uniform distribution, and interfacial interactions of Co 3 O 4 . With only 1 wt% CNT/Co 3 O 4 loading, the high-temperature decomposition peak temperature of AP was dramatically reduced from 450.9 °C (pristine AP) to 310.7 °C, accompanied by a 24.3% enhancement in heat release and a substantial 64.8% reduction in activation energy. Combustion tests revealed a 72.6% increase in flame radiation intensity and a 2.3-fold acceleration in pressurization rate for AP@CNT/Co mixing with aluminum. Mechanistic studies elucidate a tripartite synergy: (a) CNT-derived thermal conduction pathways elevate thermal conductivity, (b) Co 3 O 4 facilitates proton/electron transfer and drives the oxidation of gaseous products toward higher-valent nitrogen oxides, and (c) surface microporosity accelerates heat/mass diffusion. This concerted action enables focused, rapid, and efficient energy release from AP.

This study investigates how CO2–brine–rock interactions alter porosity and permeability in carbonate and sandstone reservoirs. We quantify pore-scale changes and effects of CO2-saturated brine on rock. In calcite-rich carbonates, CO2-induced acidification enhances permeability through selective dissolution. Dolomite-rich samples and sandstones exhibit suppressed permeability response due to slower dissolution and pore clogging. μCT and SEM reveal that although bulk porosity changes are small, local changes—especially formation of micropores and mineral occlusions—substantially influence permeability. Geochemical modeling confirms three-stage evolution: early dissolution, intermediate buffering with onset of precipitation, and long-term mineral trapping with near-steady porosity. The results indicate that early injectivity gains may be temporary and that proactive monitoring and management are required to safeguard long-term storage integrity.

A multivariable parametric analysis may necessitate 50+ experiments to establish optimum plasma dynamics with a combination of electric, magnetic, kinetic, and thermal energies that build a DLC coating of a specific hardness. Overall, this places a strain on resources and the climate. This research aims to predict the hardness of DLC coatings as a function of bias voltage (0 to 140 V) and annealing temperature as a direct and two-stage heat treatment. In addition, this work investigates the critical features for estimating the hardness of DLC coatings. The conditional tabular generative adversarial networks (CTGANs) model is used to expand the small experimental data of DLC coatings, and a large dataset is obtained from the optimal CTGANs model. A range of 15 machine learning models are used to predict the hardness of DLC, and their efficacy is measured using the six well-known error-based performance measures. The data-driven modelling reflects that top-performing models, including SVR, XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost, ANNs, and FNNs, achieved exceptional predictive accuracy (∼99.9 %). Furthermore, the significance of each explanatory variable is indicated using the Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) model, which identified bias voltages of 40 V and 120 V and second-stage heat treatment as critical factors influencing hardness. Therefore, it is concluded that the implementation of the second stage potentially increasing the hardness and the bias levels of 40 and 120 V may decrease the hardness of the DLC coating. The approach demonstrates a novel and efficient data-driven strategy for optimizing DLC coating processes, offering significant potential to accelerate material design in applications where experimental trials are resource-intensive.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmapro.2025.05.060","authors":["Tahir Mahmood","Abdul Wasy Zia"],"tags":["Materials science","Generative grammar","Diamond","Carbon fibers","Generative adversarial network"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmapro.2025.05.060","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W3212744013","name":"Review of transition paths for coal-fired power plants","source":"openalex","abstract":"The energy sector has an essential role in limiting the global average temperature increase to below 2 °C.

The CE emphasizes minimizing waste, recovering resources, and prolonging material lifecycles, while SEG focuses on improving energy efficiency, supporting renewable energy integration, and enhancing grid resilience. These frameworks offer significant potential for optimizing resource use and reducing environmental impacts in the energy sector. However, several challenges hinder their full integration, such as technological barriers, regulatory constraints, and the lack of market incentives.

ICL is facing mountainous pressure to reduce its carbon emissions when its development is planned with carbon neutrality as a background objective. This paper studies the pathways that can lead to carbon neutrality for ICL in China, constructing four carbon-neutral pathways for ICL systems with the introduction of green hydrogen, biomass as feedstock and with CCS (carbon capture and storage), which can reduce significant carbon emissions from coal-gasification and water–gas shift processes. The carbon-neutral biomass is used to replace some coal as co-feed to gasification and combustion, leading to reduced carbon emissions as well. Calculations and economic analyses are performed on different carbon-reduction pathways using a carbon-neutral ICL system on a 1 million t/a scale as an example. The results are that the pathway of direct coal substitution with biomass is the lowest carbon-reduction route at RMB 31~125/t CO2, substitution with green hydrogen costs the highest at RMB 84~422/t CO2 and CCS costs are in the middle at RMB 96~148/t CO2. Each pathway has its pros and cons, and a combination of the three may be used for the best outcome. Furthermore, a comprehensive study and systematic summation of the critical technological processes and their underlying challenges for carbon-neutral ICL together with direction for a technological breakthrough are presented. These ICL carbon-reduction pathways presented in this paper are capable of realizing an integrated development between fossil and renewable energy sources, helping the carbon-intense coal-chemical industries to achieve their goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ce/zkab035","authors":["Chufu Li","Yonglong Li","Ming Xu","Yan Gong","Siqi Gong","Peng Wang","Pingping Li","Baohui Dong","Zhuowu Men"],"tags":["Carbon neutrality","Carbon fibers","Coal","Environmental science","Greenhouse gas"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-10-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ce/zkab035","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.285Z"},{"id":"oa:W4281263605","name":"State-of-the-art expansion planning of integrated power, natural gas, and hydrogen systems","source":"openalex","abstract":"Renewable hydrogen is considered key in the transition towards a carbon-neutral future.

CO2 moves toward the top and accumulates below the top seal, thus reinforcing the risk of possible leakage to the surface through unexpected hydraulic paths (e.g., reactivated faults, fractures, and abandoned wells) or in sites without an effective sealing caprock. Considering the risks, the potential benefits of the interplay between CO2 and an aqueous solution of formate ions (HCOO¯) were evaluated when combined to control CO2 gravity segregation in porous media. Three combined strategies were evaluated and compared with those where either pure CO2 or a formate solution was injected. The first strategy consisted of a pre-flush of formate solution followed by continuous CO2 injection, and it was not effective in controlling the vertical propagation of the CO2 plume. However, the injection of a formate solution slug in a continuous or alternated way, simultaneously with the CO2 continuous injection, was effective in slowing down the vertical migration of the CO2 plume and keeping it permanently stationary deeper than the surface depth.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17112680","authors":["Marcos Vitor Barbosa Machado","Mojdeh Delshad","Omar A.

To solve the difficulty of 4-NP detection, the work offers a unique and sustainable detection approach based on nitrogen and chlorine co-functionalized carbon quantum dots (S-CQDs). The hydrothermal approach was used for the synthesis, with sucrose serving as a carbon precursor and a deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of urea and choline chloride in a 1 : 2 molar ratio. The nanosensor exhibited strong green fluorescence, excellent water solubility, photostability and ∼56%. Quantum yield.

Here, we used radium isotopes ( 224 Ra and 223 Ra) to investigate carbon outwelling in two mangrove seascapes in Brazil across multiple spatial scales. We sampled porewaters to define the source composition, mangrove creek waters to resolve tidal cycles, and cross‐shelf transects to trace outwelling in coastal seascapes. Radium isotopes were positively correlated with dissolved inorganic (DIC), organic (DOC) and particulate organic (POC) carbon across the seascapes. DIC was the primary form of carbon (mean ± SD), representing 85% of the total carbon pool as bicarbonate (75 ± 11%), carbonate (6 ± 5%), and CO 2 (4 ± 9%). DOC and POC accounted for 10 ± 6% and 5 ± 6% of total carbon, respectively. Although mangrove waters emitted CO 2 to the atmosphere (38–143 mmol m −2 d −1 ), both bays and continental shelves were a CO 2 sink (−2.5 to −0.5 mmol m −2 d −1 ) associated to chlorophyll‐a enrichments ( r 2 = 0.86). Total carbon outwelled from mangroves were 3–4 times higher than soil carbon burial at both mangrove sites. Bicarbonate export (27–72 mmol m −2 d −1 ) to the continental shelf was the major fate of carbon outwelling, more than doubling the perceived capacity of mangrove soil to sequester carbon. Hence, disregarding outwelling as a blue carbon sink mechanism would lead to underestimated assessments of how mangroves capture CO 2 and help to mitigate climate change.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024jc021319","authors":["Alex Cabral","Gloria Reithmaier","Yvonne Y.

Using subsurface seismic data and well log information, a three-dimensional model consisting of a reservoir and seal zones was created and evaluated for the South Georgia Rift (SGR) basin in the southeastern U.S. The Computer Modeling Group (CMG, 2017), was used to model the effect of CO 2 mineralization on the optimal values of fault permeability permeabilitydue to fluid substitution between the formation water and CO 2 . The model simulated the chemical reactions between carbon dioxide and mafic minerals to produce stable minerals of carbonate rock that form in the fault. Preliminary results show that CO 2 migration can be controlled effectively for fault permeability values between 0.1-1 mD. Within this range, mineralization effectively reduced CO 2 leakage within the seal zone.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2022.e09635","authors":["Adil Alshammari","V.

Leveraging established subsurface engineering expertise, underground hydrogen storage can be realized in salt caverns, depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, and deep saline aquifers. However, the physicochemical characteristics of hydrogen including low viscosity, high diffusivity and strong chemical reactivity create unique challenges for its containment, transport and recovery from porous media. This review systematically analyzes the known interfacial and pore-scale mechanisms governing hydrogen migration, trapping and loss in heterogeneous reservoirs. The key processes comprise capillary trapping, molecular diffusion, interfacial reactions, and microbial activity. Interactions among hydrogen, brine and mineral surfaces are evaluated in terms of wettability, interfacial tension and pore connectivity, all of which directly influence storage efficiency and recovery performance. Advanced experimental methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance, microfluidics models, and X-ray computed tomography, combined with pore-scale simulations, are assessed for their ability to characterize multiphase flow and reactive transport behavior. Furthermore, the impact of operational factors like cushion gas composition, pressure cycling and injection-production strategies on storage integrity is discussed. Addressing these multi-physics and multi-scale challenges is essential for the safe and efficient implementation of underground hydrogen storage. Finally, this review identifies priority research directions aimed at improving mechanistic predictions and optimizing the operational management of hydrogen behavior in subsurface environments.

In this work, carbon materials derived from biomass waste, specifically a metal-polluted vegetal species ( Spergularia rubra ) from a former mining location, were used. Biomass was subjected to hydrothermal carbonization, producing hydrochar. The influence of both thermal and chemical post-treatment was studied in relation to hydrogen production efficiency. The thermal treatment was conducted at 300, 500, and 1000 °C, while the chemical precursors used were KOH and H 3 PO 4 . Additionally, these waste-derived carbon materials were compared with carbon Vulcan XC-72, a common reference material in these processes originated from fossil sources. Several electrochemical techniques were employed to evaluate and identify the most suitable sample for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Additionally, physicochemical characterization analyses were conducted to gain a comprehensive understanding of the morphology, composition, and surface structure of the biomass-derived carbon materials, as well as to establish correlations with their electrochemical behavior toward the HER. The sample that demonstrated the most favorable performance was the one chemically activated with KOH, which exhibited an outstanding Tafel slope (147 mV/dec) and a low overpotential at 10 mA/cm 2 (−550 mV vs RHE) surpassing even the commercial Vulcan XC-72 sample. Furthermore, the chronoamperometry test showed a very stable performance for this sample. These results demonstrate that plant biomass waste containing metals presents a viable alternative to carbon blacks, commonly used as electrocatalysts for hydrogen production, also providing an efficient and sustainable method to valorize these wastes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5c02282","authors":["J.

This review explores innovations in biorefinery processes, emphasizing the synergy between thermochemical, biochemical, and biological technologies such as pyrolysis, fermentation, anaerobic digestion, hydrothermal carbonization, and algae and insect systems. Recent advancements, including hydrothermal humification and fulvification, enhance nutrient recovery, carbon sequestration, and near-zero waste production by generating artificial humic substances. Smart integrated biorefineries and the sustainable and circular bioeconomy systems are introduced as frameworks that promote synergy, interconnectivity, and resource optimization. These concepts emphasize that biomass valorization should be maximized before its final use. Biochar plays a multifaceted role beyond carbon sequestration. Rather than premature burial, it can be derived from fermented residues for lactic acid production or used to enhance fermentation and methane yields in anaerobic digestion. Additionally, nutrient-loaded biochar serves as a slow-release fertilizer, mitigating runoff, and GHG emissions. Meanwhile, heat from biochar production can generate electricity, and CO₂ emissions can support algae cultivation. Bio-oil, another byproduct, can be upgraded into platform chemicals, forming a closed-loop system that optimizes biomass utilization and minimizes environmental impact. Conventional biomass treatment methods, such as incineration, combustion, and composting, waste valuable resources and contribute to environmental degradation. Instead, a closed-loop, self-optimizing approach ensures full biomass utilization while addressing planetary boundaries.

However, existing management strategies often focus predominantly on vegetated habitats neglecting the contributions of non-vegetated areas. We address this knowledge gap by providing a quantitative spatial assessment of carbon storage across coastal seascapes varying in plant biomass. Our comprehensive multi-habitat inventory of carbon stocks in the United Arab Emirates confirmed that mangroves are the largest carbon-storing habitat per hectare (94.3 t/ha), followed by saltmarshes (63.6 t/ha), microbial mats (51.6 t/ha), mudflats (46.8 t/ha), seagrass (32.5 t/ha), and coastal sabkha (31.0 t/ha).Mean carbon content in the top 50 cm of mangrove soils (53.9 t/ha) was similar to saltmarshes (52.7 t/ha), microbial mats (51.6 t/ha), and mudflats (46.8 t/ha). We highlight the importance of including non-vegetated habitats in carbon accounting and management strategies. Our findings suggest that a more context-specific whole-system approach is essential for guiding effective ecosystem management and designing ecologically meaningful Nature-based Solutions (NbS).

We systematically test the robustness of the model by studying its responses to four different decarbonisation narratives and across six different world regions. The study underpins earlier conclusions in the literature on ‘residual emissions’ and ‘hard-to-abate sectors’, such as the persistence of residual emissions and the overall continued use of fossil fuels by heavy industries within the global 2050 net-zero context (with the pulp & paper sector as an exception). However, under the condition that net-negative emissions are achieved in the power and energy conversion sectors prior to the 2050 landmark, the indirect emission removals can compensate for the residual emissions left in the industry sectors, rendering these sectors ‘net-zero’ as early as the 2040s. Full decarbonisation of industrial (sub)sector(s) is found to be possible, but only under very specific narratives and likely outside of the 2050 timeline for the iron & steel, clinker & cement and the chemical sector. Subsequently, we find that the decarbonisation patterns in IMAGE are industry and regionally specific, though, different strategic considerations (narratives) did not substantially change the models’ decarbonisation response before or after 2050. Important aspects of the decarbonisation responses are the (direct and indirect) electrification of the iron & steel sector, a full dependency on carbon removal technologies in the clinker & cement sector, the closing of carbon and material loops in the chemical sector and zero-carbon heating for the pulp & paper sector. However, further research and modelling efforts are needed to study a broader palette of conceivable decarbonisation pathways and implications for industry within a global 2050 net-zero economy context.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egycc.2021.100051","authors":["Mariësse A.E. van Sluisveld","Harmen Sytze de Boer","Vassilis Daioglou","Andries F.

However, current research lacks detailed insights into the specific effects of ecological restoration measures. This study integrates multi-source remote sensing data and adjusts InVEST model parameters to systematically reveal the spatiotemporal evolution of carbon storage and its driving mechanisms in typical karst plateau regions of southwest China under ecological restoration measures. The results indicate: (1) From 2000 to 2020, the carbon stock in the study area increased by 6.09% overall. However, from 2020 to 2025, due to the rapid conversion of forest land into building land and grassland, the carbon stock decreased sharply by 7.69%. (2) Severe rock desertification constrains carbon stock, and afforestation provides significantly higher long-term carbon sink benefits. (3) The spatial heterogeneity of carbon storage is primarily influenced by the combined effects of natural factors (rock desertification, elevation, NDVI) and human factors (POP). Based on the research findings, it is recommended that measures to promote close forests be prioritized in karst regions to protect and restore forest ecosystems. At the same time, local habitat improvement and the establishment of ecological compensation mechanisms should be implemented, and the expansion of building land should be strictly controlled to enhance the stability of ecosystems and their carbon sink functions. These research findings provide a solid scientific basis for enhancing and precisely regulating the carbon sink capacity of fragile karst ecosystems, and are of great significance for formulating scientifically sound and reasonable ecological protection policies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/land14091903","authors":["Li Shui","Pingping Yang","Changxin Yang","Haoru Zhang","Xiong Gao"],"tags":["Restoration ecology","Environmental science","Karst","Carbon sink","Afforestation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/land14091903","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407377405","name":"Shape‐Stabilization of Phase Change Materials with Carbon‐Conscious Poly(hydroxy)Urethane Foams","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Thermal energy regulation is a significant challenge, contributing to over 30% of annual greenhouse gas emission (GHG) emissions. Phase change materials (PCMs) offer a promising solution by storing thermal energy, which can enable the reuse of waste heat for heating and cooling; however, developing materials for shape‐stabilized PCMs remains crucial. This work investigates a self‐foaming poly(hydroxy)urethane (PHU), derived from a non‐isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU), as a porous support for shape‐stabilizing paraffinic and salt hydrate PCMs. PHU‐encapsulated paraffinic PCMs exhibited excellent thermal stability over repeated cycles. Thermal stability with salt hydrate PCMs, specifically calcium chloride hexahydrate (CaCl 2 •6H 2 O), is achieved by the incorporation of 5 wt.% barium carbonate (BaCO 3 ) into the PHU foam. This enabled stable cycling for over 48 cycles with desirable thermal properties, i.e., a melting point ≈30 °C, high enthalpy (ca. 138 J g −1 per cycle), and a consistent freezing point ≈20 °C, making it suitable for applications in buildings and electric vehicle battery insulation. Also, incorporating graphite (1.5–10 wt.%) into the foam enhanced the thermal conductivity of shape‐stabilized CaCl 2 •6H 2 O during heating and cooling cycles. Overall, the approach detailed here offers a carbon‐conscious and chemically tunable material for thermal energy storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.202421039","authors":["Minjung Lee","Samuel D.

If Germany operated in autarchy and tried to handle the volatility of wind-solar production without using stores while replacing all nuclear and fossil fuel in power production, on average 61%, and at the margin 94%, of wind-solar production would have to be wasted, given the current level of other renewables.

Innovative, sustainable renewable energy systems are essential to mitigate climate change’s effects and unlock the region’s potential, especially with the increasing energy demands and population growth. The region relies heavily on fossil fuels, which calls for urgent action towards energy security and expansion. Hybrid floating solar photovoltaic-hydropower (FPV-HEP) technology has emerged as a cost-effective and transformative solution to accelerate the low-carbon energy transition in sub-Saharan Africa. The technology combines solar panels with existing hydropower infrastructure, ensuring energy security while reducing carbon emissions. This technology offers several benefits over conventional ground-mounted solar systems, including efficient land utilization, energy generation, and water conservation. However, its adoption remains challenging due to technical complexities and evolving regulatory frameworks. Despite these challenges, Nigerian energy professionals have preferred renewable alternatives, mainly distributed solar PV and FPV-HEP plants. This collective embrace of FPV and renewables reflects a growing understanding of their critical role in mitigating climate change through sustainable energy practices.

Served as critical indicators of ecological restoration outcomes, soil organic carbon (TSOC), total nitrogen (TSN), and total phosphorus (TSP) storages are closely linked to plant community succession and functional strategies, but their drivers and influencing pathways remain unclear. This study examined soil functions (TSOC, TSN, and TSP), plant communities, and functional traits in passively restored freshwater wetlands following agricultural abandonment on China’s Sanjiang Plain. Results revealed that TSOC and TSN peaked at 14- and 17-year post-restoration, respectively, then stabilized, while TSP initially decreased before increasing. With extended restoration duration, plant communities showed increased height, coverage and biomass but decreased density and diversity, while functional traits transitioned from acquisitive to conservative strategies. Variance partitioning analysis revealed that soil function dynamics were primarily governed by plant community and functional trait interactions. Random forest models identified key drivers, while structural equation model delineated both direct effects of restoration duration and indirect pathways mediated by plant attributes. Specifically, synergistic declines in specific leaf area (SLA) and plant density enhanced TSOC accumulation. Coordinated reductions in SLA and stem phosphorus content (SPC) increased aboveground biomass (AGB) and TSN but depleted TSP. Furthermore, a trade-off between leaf phosphorus content (LPC) and root-to-shoot ratio (RSR) also modulated TSN dynamics. These findings demonstrate that passive wetland restoration facilitates soil function stabilization, with plant functional traits and community characteristics playing synergistic effects. This mechanistic understanding provides a scientific framework for optimizing restoration strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jpe/rtaf084","authors":["Yu An","Le Wang","Mingye Zhang","Keke Shi","Shouzheng Tong","Ming Jiang","Haitao Wu","Bo Liu","Guodong Wang"],"tags":["Wetland","Plant community","Soil carbon","Environmental science","Phosphorus"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jpe/rtaf084","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"oa:W4212810721","name":"The clean energy claims of BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil and Shell: A mismatch between discourse, actions and investments","source":"openalex","abstract":"The energy products of oil and gas majors have contributed significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and planetary warming over the past century. Decarbonizing the global economy by mid-century to avoid dangerous climate change thus cannot occur without a profound transformation of their fossil fuel-based business models. Recently, several majors are increasingly discussing clean energy and climate change, pledging decarbonization strategies, and investing in alternative energies. Some even claim to be transforming into clean energy companies. Given a history of obstructive climate actions and \"greenwashing\", there is a need to objectively evaluate current and historical decarbonization efforts and investment behavior. This study focuses on two American (Chevron, ExxonMobil) and two European majors (BP, Shell). Using data collected over 2009-2020, we comparatively examine the extent of decarbonization and clean energy transition activity from three perspectives: (1) keyword use in annual reports (discourse); (2) business strategies (pledges and actions); and (3) production, expenditures and earnings for fossil fuels along with investments in clean energy (investments). We found a strong increase in discourse related to \"climate\", \"low-carbon\" and \"transition\", especially by BP and Shell. Similarly, we observed increasing tendencies toward strategies related to decarbonization and clean energy. But these are dominated by pledges rather than concrete actions. Moreover, the financial analysis reveals a continuing business model dependence on fossil fuels along with insignificant and opaque spending on clean energy. We thus conclude that the transition to clean energy business models is not occurring, since the magnitude of investments and actions does not match discourse. Until actions and investment behavior are brought into alignment with discourse, accusations of greenwashing appear well-founded.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0263596","authors":["Mei Li","Gregory Trencher","Jusen Asuka"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Fossil fuel","Clean energy","Investment (military)","Natural resource economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-02-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0263596","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410873813","name":"Nanoscopic Wonders: Carbon Quantum Dots as Catalysts and Charge Carriers in Advanced Energy Storage Systems","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT Research on the synthesis and uses of zero‐dimensional (0D) carbon quantum dots (CQDs) has emerged as a dynamic and fascinating innovative area of study in current years.

However, a CESS primarily relies on battery storage, whose high economic cost makes large-scale development and practical application difficult. Given this background, the optimal sizing and operational strategy for a community hybrid energy storage system (CHESS) is proposed in this paper, which comprises the slow-response energy storage device (SRESD) and the fast-response energy storage device (FRESD). Firstly, considering the community's willingness to deploy storage and the impact of storage on smoothing load fluctuations, a multi-objective optimization model aiming to maximize community profits and minimize load fluctuations is proposed, which is transformed into a single objective optimization by incorporating a penalty factor. Then, the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm is employed to derive typical community load and electricity price curves which are used to schedule the monthly charge and discharge periods for the SRESD, subsequently developing the optimal sizing and annual 8760-hour operational strategy for a CHESS based on this schedule. On this basis, three storage configurations (CHESS, SRESD, and FRESD) are compared, and it is found by simulation results that the CHESS combines the advantages of both SRESD and FRESD, offering larger arbitrage opportunity with the peak-valley price spread and being more effective in managing load fluctuations. Finally, the impacts of declining battery costs on optimization results are examined and experimental verification based on real data from Australia is carried out, with the feasibility and sustainability of the proposed sizing and operational strategy for a CHESS demonstrated. • A hybrid community energy storage system balances load and improves community profits. • Clustering methods determine the system's annual 8760-hour operation strategy. • Simulations show cost advantages and better use of peak-valley electricity prices. • Real-world data confirms the system's effectiveness and long-term sustainability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2025.116209","authors":["Lei Wan","Jiajia Yang","Yu Yang","Tao Li","Hangyue Liu","Fushuan Wen"],"tags":["Sizing","Energy storage","Computer science","Process engineering","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2025.116209","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4372353139","name":"In situ emulsion polymerization of poly (vinyl acetate) and asparagus racemosus biopolymer composites for flexible energy storage applications","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Polymer composites reinforced with synthetic materials are losing acceptability due to significant environmental concerns and high costs.

This concern mainly stems from the significant environmental effects and the omission of the sustainability of materials associated with road construction. Current literature suggests Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a solution to address greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts of road infrastructure. This research uses the PRISMA-SCR methodology to identify strategies to mitigate environmental impact during the life cycle stages of asphalt pavements and emission-generating activities. This study identifies the critical life cycle stages responsible for the largest amount of emissions, highlighting “material extraction and production” and “transportation” as key areas of intervention. The results demonstrate how the incorporation of recycled materials (RAPs) and warm mix asphalts (WMAs) can reduce between 15% and 45% of total emissions. It is concluded that it is possible to develop asphalt pavement construction projects with a sustainability perspective, allowing not only to identify opportunities to optimize construction processes but also to establish a reference framework for transportation agencies to integrate more sustainable practices, including the reduction of emissions, the responsible use of non-renewable resources and proper waste management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17020695","authors":["Diego Flores-Ruiz","Marco Montoya-Alcaraz","Leonel García","́José Manuel Gutiérrez-Moreno","Julio Calderón-Ramírez"],"tags":["Life-cycle assessment","Asphalt","Carbon dioxide","Environmental science","Reduction (mathematics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17020695","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415400669","name":"AI and Robotics in Agriculture: A Systematic and Quantitative Review of Research Trends (2015–2025)","source":"openalex","abstract":"The swift integration of AI, robotics, and advanced sensing technologies has revolutionized agriculture into a data-centric, autonomous, and sustainable sector.

These functionalization strategies are subsequently associated with enhanced adsorption performances (capacity, selectivity, structural/thermal stability, moisture resistance, etc.) toward the analog gas mixtures. Finally, this review also discusses future challenges and prospects for using porous materials in intractable gas separation.

Indonesia’s commitment to net-zero emissions by 2060 has encouraged CCS adoption, regulated by Presidential Regulation No. 14 of 2024, which permits foreign carbon storage through bilateral agreements. While offering economic opportunities, this framework also presents legal and environmental risks, especially regarding the unclear classification of carbon across jurisdictions. The regulation does not define carbon’s legal status, leaving a gap that may cause differing interpretations with partner countries. Domestic inconsistencies are also reflected in Minister of Trade Regulation No. 84 of 2019, which permits only the import of specific non-hazardous wastes, from which carbon is excluded, thereby creating potential conflict with CCS policies. Using normative legal research with statutory and comparative approaches, this study reviews Indonesian provisions against international instruments such as the London Protocol, Basel Convention, and OSPAR 1992. Findings show that carbon in CCS technically qualifies as waste, but international law provides exceptions for climate mitigation, which Indonesia has not yet adopted. This legal gap, compounded by inconsistencies between environmental and trade regulations, may hinder the implementation of cross-border CCS. The study contributes novelty by assessing carbon’s legal classification and its implications for Indonesia’s role as a CCS host country. It recommends enacting explicit national rules, harmonizing domestic provisions with international standards, and ratifying the London Protocol Amendment to ensure legal certainty, environmental integrity, and sustainable CCS implementation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.30659/ldj.7.3.340-354","authors":["Hening Cipta Putih W Prayudi","Shofiana Nurul Arifin","Adela Oktaviani Putri","Andrea Karuniawan"],"tags":["Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Statutory law","Business","International law","Legal research"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.30659/ldj.7.3.340-354","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410895201","name":"A Mini-Review of Sludge-Derived Biochar (SDB) for Wastewater Treatment: Recent Advances in 2020–2025","source":"openalex","abstract":"Sludge-derived biochar (SDB) synthesized by the pyrolysis of sludge is gaining enormous interest as a sustainable solution to wastewater treatment and sludge disposal. Despite the proliferation of general biochar reviews, a focused synthesis on SDB-specific advances, particularly covering the recent surge in multifunctional wastewater treatment applications (2020–2025), receives little emphasis. In particular, a critical analysis of recent trends, application challenges, and future research directions for SDB is still limited. Unlike broader biochar reviews, this mini-review highlights the comparative advantages and limitations of SDB, identifies emerging integration strategies (e.g., bio-electrochemical systems, catalytic membranes), and outlines future research priorities toward enhancing the durability and environmental safety of SDB applications. Specifically, this review summarized the advances from 2020 to 2025, focusing exclusively on functional modifications, and practical applications of SDB across diverse wastewater treatment technologies involved in adsorption, catalytic oxidation, membrane integration, electrochemical processes and bio-treatment systems. Quantitative comparisons of adsorption capacities (e.g., >99% Cd2+ removal, >150 mg/g tetracycline adsorption) and catalytic degradation efficiencies are provided to illustrate recent improvements. The potential of SDB in evaluating traditional and emerging contaminant degradation among the Fenton-like, persulfate, and peracetic acid activation systems was emphasized. Integration with membrane technologies reduces fouling, while electrochemical applications, including microbial fuel cells, yield higher power densities. To improve the functionality of SDB-based systems in targeting contamination removal, modification strategies, i.e., thermal activation, heteroatom doping (N, S, P), and metal loading, played crucial roles. Emerging trends highlight hybrid systems and persistent free radicals for non-radical pathways. Despite progress, critical challenges persist in scalability, long-term stability, lifecycle assessments, and scale-up implementation. The targeted synthesis of this review offers valuable insights to guide the development and practical deployment of SDB in sustainable wastewater management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app15116173","authors":["Lia Wang","Lan Liang","Ning Li","Guanyi Chen","Haixiao Guo","Li’an Hou"],"tags":["Biochar","Environmental science","Waste management","Pulp and paper industry","Engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app15116173","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"oa:W4380880420","name":"A Review on the Use of Natural Gas Purification Processes to Enhance Natural Gas Utilization","source":"openalex","abstract":"The necessity for the adoption of clean and sustainable energy sources that would result in the diversification of Nigeria's energy mix has arisen as a result of the significant area of concern surrounding climate change caused by CO2 emission. It's interesting to note that Natural Gas (NG), a readily accessible alternative energy source in Nigeria with a wealth of approximately 187 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven gas reserves, has remained a crucial part of the energy mix, providing adequate energy with high energy quality and low CO2 emission. However, natural gas naturally contains some acid gases and small amounts of CO2, which act as impurities. This has posed a limitation to its effective utilization due to the bottlenecks in pipeline and equipment corrosion during transportation, storage, distribution, etc. To tackle this challenge, numerous researches have been conducted on the purification of natural gas through available technologies, including the cryogenic, membranes, absorption, and adsorption methods. Additionally, the independent use of these technologies has consistently been proven to be less economical and financially demanding with longer purification time, leading to low product recovery and high energy intensity for regeneration in the NG purification processes, which leaves them uniquely challenged. In order to improve natural gas consumption, this study reviews technological techniques in the use of various natural gas purification procedures and hybrid natural gas purification processes. Membranes are used in the purification process for both the gas-absorption and bulk separation of gaseous pollutants. These strategies, created to strike a compromise between the shortcomings of membrane and absorption processes, demonstrated a better separation that contributed to long-term process improvement.","url":"https://doi.org/10.11648/j.ogce.20231101.13","authors":["Ekpotu Fidelis Wilson","Akintola Joseph Taiwo","Obialor Martins Chineme","Abdulkareem Yusuf Temitope","Ezeka Francis Chukwuka","Asama Michael Olufemi","Ebuehi Osaretin Noah","Iwube Pamela Meyenum","Zacchaeus Adesanya"],"tags":["Natural gas","Natural-gas processing","Environmental science","Waste management","Process engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-03-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.11648/j.ogce.20231101.13","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"oa:W2300398841","name":"Scenarios for Deep Carbon Emission Reductions from Electricity by 2050 in Western North America using the Switch Electric Power Sector Planning Model: California's Carbon Challenge Phase II, Volume II","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study used a state-of-the-art planning model called SWITCH for the electric power system to investigate the evolution of the power systems of California and western North America from present-day to 2050 in the context of deep decarbonization of the economy. Researchers concluded that drastic power system carbon emission reductions were feasible by 2050 under a wide range of possible futures. The average cost of power in 2050 would range between $149 to $232 per megawatt hour across scenarios, a 21 to 88 percent increase relative to a business-as-usual scenario, and a 38 to 115 percent increase relative to the present-day cost of power. The power system would need to undergo sweeping change to rapidly decarbonize. Between present-day and 2030 the evolution of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council power system was dominated by implementing aggressive energy efficiency measures, installing renewable energy and gas-fired generation facilities and retiring coal-fired generation. Deploying wind, solar and geothermal power in the 2040 timeframe reduced power system emissions by displacing gas-fired generation. This trend continued for wind and solar in the 2050 timeframe but was accompanied by large amounts of new storage and long-distance high-voltage transmission capacity. Electricity storage was used primarily to move solar energy from the daytime into the night to charge electric vehicles and meet demand from electrified heating. Transmission capacity over the California border increased by 40 - 220 percent by 2050, implying that transmission siting, permitting, and regional cooperation will become increasingly important. California remained a net electricity importer in all scenarios investigated. Wind and solar power were key elements in power system decarbonization in 2050 if no new nuclear capacity was built. The amount of installed gas capacity remained relatively constant between present-day and 2050, although carbon capture and sequestration was installed on some gas plants by 2050.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/1163655","authors":["J.H.

Electrofuels (e-fuels) produced from low-CO2 electricity, water, and carbon (or nitrogen) are potential low-climate-impact transportation fuels. The purpose of this review is to provide a technoeconomic assessment of the feasibility and potential of e-fuels for road, ocean, and air transport. The assessment is based on a review of publications discussing e-fuels for one or more transport modes. For each transport mode, (a) e-fuel options are mapped, (b) cost per transport unit (e.g. vehicle km) and carbon abatement costs are estimated and compared to conventional options, (c) prospects and challenges are highlighted, and (d) policy context is described. Carbon abatement costs for e-fuels (considering vehicle cost, fuel production and distribution cost) are estimated to be in the range 110–1250 € tonne−1 CO2 with e-gasoline and e-diesel at the high end of the range. The investigated combined biofuel and e-fuels production pathways (based on forest residues and waste) are more cost-competitive than the stand-alone e-fuel production pathways, but the global availability of sustainable biomass is limited making these pathways more constrained. While the potential for e-fuels to decarbonize the transport sector has been discussed extensively in the literature, many uncertainties in terms of production costs, vehicle costs and environmental performance remain. It is too early to rule out or strongly promote particular e-fuels for different transport modes. For e-fuels to play a significant role in transportation, their attractiveness relative to other transport options needs to be improved. Incentives will be needed for e-fuels to be cost-effective and increased clarity on how e-fuels are linked to existing policies is needed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2516-1083/ac8097","authors":["Selma Brynolf","Julia Hansson","James E.

The power consumption demand, primary energy consumption structure, CO2emission characteristics, emission reduction potential, and cost of different carbon tax levels are quantitatively studied. In combination with the impact on China’s macroeconomy, the carbon tax level corresponding to the best CO2emission reduction effect of China’s power industry is obtained, aiming to provide key data and a theoretical basis for China’s low-carbon development as well as the optimization and adjustment of global power production system.

Biofertilizers are microbial formulations constituted of indigenous plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) that directly or indirectly promote plant growth through the solubilization of soil nutrients, and the production of plant growth-stimulating hormones and iron-sequestering metabolites called siderophores. Biofertilizers have continually been studied, recommended, and even successfully adopted for the production of many crops in the world. These microbial products hold massive potential as sustainable crop production tools, especially in the wake of climate change that is partly fueled by artificial fertilizers. Despite the growing interest in the technology, its full potential has not yet been achieved and utilization still seems to be in infancy. There is a need to shed light on the past, current, and future prospects of biofertilizers to increase their understanding and utility. This review evaluates the history of PGPR biofertilizers, assesses their present utilization, and critically advocates their future in sustainable crop production. It, therefore, updates our understanding of the evolution of PGPR biofertilizers in crop production. Such information can facilitate the evaluation of their potential and ultimately pave the way for increased exploitation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2022.1002448","authors":["Becky Nancy Aloo","Vishal Tripathi","Billy Amendi Makumba","Ernest R.

Focussing on crops carrying out C3 photosynthesis, we analyse the evidence for 'losses' in the process of conversion of solar energy into crop biomass and we explore novel mechanisms of improving biomass production rates, which have arisen from recent research into the fundamental primary processes of photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism. We show that there are several lines of evidence that these processes are not fully optimized for maximum yield.

Through this process, in electrolysis mode H 2 , Cl 2 , and NaOH are produced. These products can then be reused to generate electricity in an H 2 /Cl 2 fuel cell. Additionally, the system can function as an electrochemically assisted gas-liquid absorption unit, to support CO 2 fixation. The membranes were prepared using eco-friendly materials by cross-linking PVA with chitosan (Cs). These membranes were integrated into specially designed reversible electrochemical cells, which were manufactured using 3D printing technology. The cells efficiently converted renewable energy into hydrogen and chlorine and vice versa. The effect of Cs concentration on the performance of the electrochemical cell in both electrolysis and H 2 /Cl 2 fuel cells modes was investigated by switching between these modes at room temperature, over two cycles of 2 h each. It was observed that increasing Cs concentrations in the cross-linked PVA membranes resulted in decreased power consumption during electrolysis mode, while maintaining a Faraday efficiency exceeding 95 %. Moreover, it enhanced the power density achieved by the H 2 /Cl 2 fuel cell, reaching approximately 1.8 mW/cm 2 , a value comparable to that of the commercially available Nafion 117 membrane tested under identical conditions. By studying the free volume structure of the membranes using positron annihilation spectroscopy (PALS), it was found that higher Cs concentrations resulted in an increase in the free volume within the membranes. This increase in the hole size was found to directly influence the permeability of chlorine species through the membranes. The obtained results highlights the feasibility of using cross-linked non-fluorinated PVA/Cs membranes in renewable energy storage systems based on chlor-alkali reversible cells. • High stability of reversible cells equipped with cross-linked PVA/Cs membranes. • Optimal performance achieved with 20 wt% chitosan. • Current efficiency over 90 % for hydrogen production using Cross-linked PVA/Cs. • A robust correlation between PALS results and membrane performance. • Feasibility of using cross-linked PVA/Cs membranes for chlor-alkali energy storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2025.05.341","authors":["Mahmoud M.

Here, an innovative approach combining carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with dissolving microneedles (dMN) for real-time tracking of HSV-1 from skin to brain is presented. Upon application, CQDs-HSV-1 is released from the dMN through the swelling of interstitial fluid (ISF) in skin and subsequently monitored by living imaging. Remarkably, it is observed that HSV-1 preferentially infects peripheral skin nerves, almost all viruses directly enter to brain via the spinal cord within 10-30 min, while few viruses enter the brain through the bloodstream via tail vein injection at the same time. Spinal cord injury (SCI) significantly delays the HSV-1 transport from skin to brain but has no effect on the virus's travel from blood to brain.

The integration of CQDs-virus labelling technology and dMN delivery model presents a promising tool for investigating the in vivo transport routes of neurotropic viruses with initial skin infections.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202508464","authors":["Yaxiu Feng","Xiong Wang","Cien Chen","Di Wang","Changshun Hou","Yiran Wang","Huan Hu","Peiran Chen","Leiying Qin","Qianya Wan","Xi Yao","Ming‐Liang He"],"tags":["Herpes simplex virus","Spinal cord","Virus","Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis","Neurite"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202508464","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"oa:W4321086343","name":"Carbon Dioxide Capture in the Iron and Steel Industry: Thermodynamic Analysis, Process Simulation, and Life Cycle Assessment","source":"openalex","abstract":"The iron and steel sector is one of the dominant drivers behind economic and social progress, but it is also very energy-intensive and hard-to-abate, making it a major cause of global warming.Improving energy efficiency, introducing hydrogen for direct reduction, and utilising CCS technologies are the three most viable options for reducing CO 2 emissions from steel mills.This investigation deals with a life cycle comparison of three different carbon capture processes, the inventory data of which have been obtained using process simulation based on rigorous phase and chemical equilibrium equations.In-silico models for the absorption of carbon dioxide employing MDEA, membranes, or sodium hydroxide to produce sodium bicarbonate have been developed and compared from a life cycle viewpoint.The research findings showed a variable amount of CO 2 removal in the three cases, where membranes achieved the best performance (95 % CO 2 removal).Since NaOH absorption produces a valuable by-product (sodium bicarbonate, which is commonly produced by Solvay process), the other two technologies were modified to integrate the utilisation of CO 2 for the synthesis of sodium bicarbonate with NaOH rather than transporting and storing the carbon dioxide.As a result, this production pathway for sodium bicarbonate generates lower environmental burdens than traditional Solvay process.The environmental performances of the alternatives are nearly equal, even though the environmental impacts associated with capturing the CO 2 and subsequently reacting with NaOH are always slightly higher than those involved with reacting directly during absorption.Among the evaluated alternatives, the direct conversion to sodium bicarbonate appears to be the most promising approach for converting CO 2 emissions in the steel sector.","url":"https://doi.org/10.15255/cabeq.2022.2123","authors":["Andrea Mio","Letitia Petrescu","Alexandra-Veronica Luca","Ştefan Cristian Galusnyak","Maurizio Fermeglia","Călin-Cristian Cormoş"],"tags":["Carbon dioxide","Life-cycle assessment","Process (computing)","Carbon steel","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-02-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.15255/cabeq.2022.2123","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"oa:W4385387909","name":"The role of forests in the EU climate policy: are we on the right track?","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Background The European Union (EU) has committed to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. This requires a rapid reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and ensuring that any remaining emissions are balanced through CO2 removals. Forests play a crucial role in this plan: they are currently the main option for removing CO2 from the atmosphere and additionally, wood use can store carbon durably and help reduce fossil emissions. To stop and reverse the decline of the forest carbon sink, the EU has recently revised the regulation on land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF), and set a target of − 310 Mt CO2e net removals for the LULUCF sector in 2030. Results In this study, we clarify the role of common concepts in forest management – net annual increment, harvest and mortality – in determining the forest sink. We then evaluate to what extent the forest sink is on track to meet the climate goals of the EU. For this assessment we use data from the latest national GHG inventories and a forest model (Carbon Budget Model). Our findings indicate that on the EU level, the recent decrease in increment and the increase in harvest and mortality are causing a rapid drop in the forest sink. Furthermore, continuing the past forest management practices is projected to further decrease the sink. Finally, we discuss options for enhancing the sinks through forest management while taking into account adaptation and resilience. Conclusions Our findings show that the EU forest sink is quickly developing away from the EU climate targets. Stopping and reversing this trend requires rapid implementation of climate-smart forest management, with improved and more timely monitoring of GHG fluxes. This enhancement is crucial for tracking progress towards the EU’s climate targets, where the role of forests has become – and is expected to remain – more prominent than ever before.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13021-023-00234-0","authors":["Anu Korosuo","Roberto Pilli","Raúl Abad Viñas","Viorel Blujdea","René R.

The mean seasonal cycle (MSC) is an interesting metric that associates phenology and carbon (C) partitioning/allocation analysis within forest stands. Here, we applied the 3D-CMCC-FEM model and analyzed its capability to represent the main C-fluxes, by validating the model against observed data, questioning if the sink/source mean seasonality is influenced under two scenarios of climate change, in five contrasting European forest sites.

Such a reduction is predicted despite the number of annual days as a C-sink in evergreen forests increasing over the years, indicating a consistent downward trend. Similarly, deciduous forests, despite maintaining a relatively stable number of C-sink days throughout the year and over the century, show a reduction in their overall annual C-sink capacity.

Interrelated decisions pertaining to production-distribution strategy, backorder and inventory levels, choice of truck type, and selection of third-party logistics (3PLs) providers are jointly optimized. For global CSCs in specific, such decisions are particularly sensitive to the energy sources of the refrigerated facilities and the accompanying levels of CO2 emissions generated. As such, a multi-objective mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) model is developed and then solved via the weighted-sum method. In essence, the model seeks to operationalize sustainability goals by considering the rapidly evolving transition in energy sources across different regions when deciding on which 3PLs to engage in a contractual agreement with while adjusting the production and distribution strategy accordingly. The practical relevance of the model is illustrated using a case study drawn from the North American frozen food industry.

Here we assess feasible NE contributions of alternative, more sustainable pyrogenic carbon capture and storage (PyCCS) based on land‐neutral biomass production using biochar‐mediated yield increases to maintain calorie production while realizing net CO2 extraction from the atmosphere.

Cumulatively, by the end of the century, 33–201 Gt CO2 could be sustainably supplied by such an approach, equaling 6%–35% of the NE demand projected for trajectories likely to limit climate warming to 2°C or lower. Furthermore, additional areas dedicated to BECCS in integrated assessment scenarios could instead be used to increase global calorie production (by 2%–16%), or spared for nature protection (up to ∼ 100 Mha).

Achieving these goals require offsetting carbon emissions through quality projects within and outside the state. Tree nurseries with stress‐tolerant variants play a significant role in cutting the excess emissions from Qatar 2022, thereby supporting long‐term sustainable development. This research presents a novel approach to offset carbon emissions utilizing the carbon sequestration potential of trees planted in a tree nursery project in Qatar. The i‐Tree assessment tool and a well‐established US database are used in this regard to undertake a correlation climatic condition analysis between Doha and five locations in the United States with similar demographics as the State of Qatar. The tree nursery data along with water consumption, fertilizer use, and power consumption, were fed as the inputs to the assessment tool. The assessments were carried out considering different irrigation methods for trees and shrubs, treated sewage water with a significant amount of organic fertilizer, and desalinated water. The analysis showed a net‐carbon‐emission reduction equal to 23.482 t CO2‐eqv/year using the treated sewage water. The tree nursery project has a carbon reduction potential of 21.902% compared to the maximum carbon sequestration potential of 30.39 kg/CO2‐eqv/tree/year, when using treated sewage water and a mix of the specific fertilizer. However, the use of desalinated water holds a negative impact on the carbon balance to such a level that the introduction of trees in Middle Eastern may not positively affect climate change mitigation. It was also found that the amount of carbon footprint reduction after the FIFA World Cup 2022 is expected to increase steadily during the average life expectancy of the trees assessed, which were evaluated to be circa 135 years. The results presented support urban planners in proposing integrated sustainability planning strategies and policies. These strategies can initiate projects such as nurseries, parks, and open space areas to reduce carbon footprints, improve the city's social and economic aspects, and preserve the post‐event legacy of mega‐sporting events like the World Cup and Olympic Sports.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.2239","authors":["Ioannis Spanos","Murat Küçükvar","Timothy C.

The aim of this paper is to assess the role of biomass usage in the context of these targets. The paper identifies the progress made between 2013 and 2022 by focusing on a selection of EU countries. The largest bioenergy increments of 130, 77, and 60 PJ were reported for Poland, Sweden, and the Netherlands. This study evaluates the crucial role of co-generation and heat in EU regions, with biomass usage between 55 and 80% of the combined heat and power (CHP) energy in Nordic countries. The future perspectives for bioenergy based on EU policies, biomass resources, and technical issues were addressed. The EU possesses around 9% of the global biomass supply, ensuring a certain level of biomass resource dependence. Thus, the biomass usage demand in energy production, non-energy sectors, and transport is expected to rise, leading to increments of 13–76% on biomass imports. It appears that bioenergy development is mostly limited by economic issues and uneven support for bioenergy in different EU countries as well as environmental issues. The study shows a promising and sustainable potential of bioenergy in the EU as a renewable energy source while minimizing negative impacts on the environment and the economy. By 2050, liquid biofuels are likely to be increasingly used in the transport sector.

Inspired by lotus seedpods, a novel ISSG (rGO‐SA‐PSF) is developed by treating a 3D warp‐knitted spacer fabric with plasma (PSF) and combining it with sodium alginate (SA) and reduces graphene oxide (rGO). The rGO‐SA‐PSF utilizes a core‐suction effect to achieve rapid water pumping and employs aerogel to encapsulate the plasma‐treated spacer yarns to create the lotus seedpod‐inspired hydrophilic stems, innovatively constructing multiple directional water transport channels. Simultaneously, the large holes of rGO‐SA‐PSF on the upper layer form lotus seedpod‐inspired head concave holes, enabling efficient light capture. Under 1 kW m−2 illumination, rGO‐SA‐PSF exhibits a rapid evaporation rate of 1.85 kg m−2 h−1, with an efficiency of 96.4%. Additionally, it shows superior salt tolerance (with no salt accumulation during continuous evaporation for 10 h in 10% brine) and self‐desalination performance during long‐term seawater desalination processes.

Under the goal of “carbon neutrality”, studying the mechanisms linking LUCC with terrestrial ecosystem carbon storage is of significant importance for ecological protection and regional development.

The study scientifically explores the impact of the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of LUCC on carbon storage. The study indicates the following: (1) Over the past 20 years, the land types in the central Shanxi urban agglomeration are primarily grassland, cropland, and forest land. The two primary land transformations are the conversion of cropland to grassland and the conversion of grassland to cropland and forest land; (2) The carbon storage in the study area has shown a declining trend over the past two decades. Spatially, this decline exhibits a “two mountains and one valley” distribution pattern influenced by land use types. The reduction of grassland and cropland is the primary reason for the decline in carbon storage; (3) By 2035, under three different scenarios, carbon storage is projected to decrease compared to 2020. Among these, the scenario focused on cropland protection (CP) shows the least decline, while the naturally developing scenario (ND) shows the most significant decline. The research demonstrates that under scenarios of cropland protection and ecological conservation, strategies such as environmental restoration, development of unused land, and reclamation of built-up land for greening significantly enhance regional carbon storage and improve carbon sequestration capacity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17041532","authors":["Yanqiu Zhu","Bin Quan"],"tags":["Economies of agglomeration","Carbon fibers","Environmental science","Urban agglomeration","Geography"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-12","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17041532","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406703607","name":"Energy Performance Study of a Data Center Combined Cooling System Integrated with Heat Storage and Waste Heat Recovery System","source":"openalex","abstract":"The energy efficiency of data centers has become an urgent problem as it is enjoying rapid development.

This activation significantly enhanced the material’s porosity, increasing its specific surface area from 335 m2/g (KOH activated) to 943 m2/g (KMnO4 activated).

To address the upcoming EU ETS, we propose a carbon and cost accounting model for liner shipping that accurately calculates CO 2 emissions and total cost of liner shipping. We conduct a case study that a containership operates on the liner route from the Far East to Northwest Europe. The results show that the sailing stage plays a pivotal role in CO 2 emissions from liner shipping, accounting for 94.70% of CO 2 emissions. Among four types of fuel, CO 2 emissions from liner shipping using MGO is the largest, while CO 2 emissions from liner shipping using methanol is the smallest. Methanol, as an alternative fuel, proves to be a better choice than LNG for CO 2 control of liner shipping. The relationship between sailing speed and CO 2 emissions follows a U-shaped curve for the selected containership. Notably, speed reduction is effective in carbon control of liner shipping only when the sailing speed exceeds 8.29 knots. Under the EU ETS, sailing speed is a key variable affecting the total cost of liner shipping. Speed reduction may not always be cost-effective. When keeping the total cost of liner shipping unchanged, sailing speed should be reduced as the EU allowance (EUA) price rises within a certain range. For the selected containership using MGO and HFO, the most economical sailing speed is 8.29 knots, corresponding to the increase in EUA price of 304.95% and 261.21%, respectively. If EUA price continues to rise, speed reduction will become ineffective in controlling the total cost of liner shipping.

The Paris Agreement's goal is to limit the increase in global temperature and climate change mitigation strategies are adopted to achieve it. Decarbonization, negative emissions, and radiative forcing geoengineering are important technologies for this purpose because they decrease potential risks. Hydrogen has great potential in clean combustion and reduction of carbon emissions in different sectors like steel production. The cost trends indicate that green hydrogen could become a comparatively more efficient technology as compared to hydrogen generated from fossil fuels in the coming years. There is a need for hydrogen storage to support grid balancing and renewable energy systems. This study highlights the limitations and benefits of underground hydrogen storage mechanisms, including salt caverns, porous rock formations, and depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs. These are sustainable methods because they offer economic feasibility and large-scale storage, but it is important to consider geological suitability, hydrogen embrittlement, and environmental concerns. According to the literature, underground hydrogen storage is a better option than above-ground storage. The future outlook predicts that there will be increased investments in underground hydrogen storage technologies in the global transition to a greener energy paradigm.","url":"https://doi.org/10.36347/sajb.2024.v12i07.006","authors":["Muhammad Qasim","Arooj Fatima","Tayyaba Akhtar","Syeda Fizza E Batool","Kashif Abdullah","Qudrat Ullah","Noman Ashraf","Ubaid Ullah"],"tags":["Climate change","Context (archaeology)","Hydrogen storage","Environmental science","Environmental resource management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.36347/sajb.2024.v12i07.006","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409729078","name":"Microgrid Energy Management Considering Energy Storage Degradation Cost","source":"openalex","abstract":"There are many challenges in incorporating the attenuation cost of energy storage into the optimization of microgrid operations due to the randomness of renewable energy supply, the high cost of controlled power generation, and the complexity associated with calculating the cost of battery attenuation.

The goal of this paper is to investigate the feasibility and required amount of waste heat to achieve this goal. Two different operation strategies are introduced—an operation strategy based on marginal costs and an operation strategy prioritizing waste heat utilization. Each strategy is modeled with three different electricity price scenarios. Because the low temperature waste heat from a data center must be primed by heat pumps, the electricity price has a significant impact on the feasibility of waste heat utilization. Prioritizing waste heat utilization leads to higher production costs, but a lower waste heat capacity is needed to reach the goal of 95% renewables in production. The higher electricity price emphasizes the differences between the two operation strategies.

Mechanistic insights showed that electrostatic attraction, π-π interactions, and hydrogen bonding drove adsorption. The Langmuir model provided the best fit for phenol adsorption on ACES (R² = 0.9845), indicating monolayer adsorption on uniform sites.

A deployment of marine carbon dioxide removal (CDR) for mitigating global warming could therefore also be viewed as a measure for mitigating ocean deoxygenation if, and only if, the respective CDR measure itself does not lead to a larger oxygen loss than the reduction in atmospheric CO2 would prevent. We here review the current state of knowledge regarding the potential impacts of various marine CDR (mCDR) options onto ocean oxygen, a key ocean state variable and an essential element for all higher forms of marine life. Using results from global model simulations, we show that biotic approaches, such as ocean fertilization, macroalgae cultivation and sinking, and placement of organic matter that is prone to remineralization, can lead to a loss in seawater dissolved oxygen that is 4–40 times larger than the oxygen gain that would result from the CDR-induced reduction in global warming only. Biotic approaches also tend to enhance the amplitude of the diel cycle in dissolved oxygen, with possible physiological impacts specifically in shallow-water environments of coastal vegetated ecosystem. In contrast, geochemical approaches, and biotic approaches that avoid remineralization of biomass within the ocean, may be applied in ways that have minimal impacts on dissolved oxygen. We suggest that impacts on marine oxygen should be accounted for in assessing the suitability of mCDR, and that oxygen should be measured prior to, during and after any research-scale or full-scale implementation activity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ade0d4","authors":["Andreas Oschlies","Caroline P.

However, livestock sector is seriously constrained by the drastic decline in fodder base and high cost of feeds, incurring huge economic loss to farmers. Hence fodder production should be intensified in cropping system by including alternate feeds like nutrient rich fodder trees and shrubs to supplement conventional fodder. Fodder trees serve as a potential source of quality green fodder to livestock especially during lean periods. Moreover, tree leaves can be cheaper feed supplements than the commercial concentrates and can easily be grown by the small-holder farmers. Leucaena, mulberry, kadamba, calliandra, agathi, moringa and gliricidia are promising fodder tress by virtue of their nutritive foliage, fast growing nature with higher biomass production, amenable to heavy pruning, good coppicing ability and easy management. Moreover, these trees can be grown in close hedgerows as fodder banks in integration with existing crops to maximize productivity in land crunch humid tropical areas. Enhancing tree cover in cropping systems also offers ecosystem services like enhanced carbon storage and associated global warming issues. Forage and nutrient yields, and carbon accretion can be substantially elevated and crop–tree competition can be minimized by appropriate stand management practices and proper regulation of overstorey and understorey components.

Coal-fired power has progressed from being the cheapest to one of the most expensive sources of electricity in the United States, and while it will remain an important source of electricity for decades, it is projected to be in “terminal decline” by 2020. The Donald J. Trump Administration may prolong the transition away from coal, but the underlying economics will prevent its reversal. Three factors are driving this transformation: (1) dramatic declines in the cost of renewables; (2) the projected long-term low price of natural gas; and (3) strong signs that electricity storage will be widely cost-competitive by the mid-2020s. I have omitted environmental and climate change regulations because, though important, their status is highly uncertain in the near term given the current political climate in the United States. The changes in the electricity sector necessitate a reevaluation of the strategy for deploying CCS that is built around coal-fired generation. If, as many energy experts believe, rising market competition is inexorably undercutting the viability of coal-fired generation, plans and policies for CCS must adapt to the new economic realities. The greatest barrier to deployment of CCS is the low price of natural gas, which is displacing coal-fired generation and foreclosing the construction of new plants — a factor also independent of the expected demise of President Obama’s Clean Power Plan. At the same time, the cost of renewables and electricity storage are projected to continue their decline and to reach grid parity long before widespread commercialization of CCS. As a consequence, even under optimistic scenarios coal plants with CCS will have to compete in a market increasingly dominated by technologies with more rapid innovation cycles, modularity, and low barriers to deployment at both the utility-scale and as distributed generation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5040/9781509909599.ch-007","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-04-23T11:40:30Z","doi":"10.5040/9781509909599.ch-007","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"doi:10.62051/w67psm41","name":"Chinese Carbon Capture and Storage Technology","source":"crossref","abstract":"Global warming is a critical crisis confronting the world, with industrial CO2 emissions accounting for 65% of global greenhouse gases and serving as the leading driver of the greenhouse effect.

A promising approach to mitigate this issue is Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), where CO₂ capture plays a pivotal role. Among emerging biological solutions, carbonic anhydrase—a natural enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of CO₂ into bicarbonate—has gained considerable attention for its potential in efficient carbon capture. Despite its promise, large-scale industrial application faces challenges due to the enzyme’s instability, volatility, and high production costs. To address these limitations, three key strategies have been developed: enzyme engineering to improve performance, immobilization techniques to enhance stability and reusability, and the development of synthetic analogs known as carbonic anhydrase mimics. These approaches not only improve the enzyme's resilience but also expand its applicability in harsh industrial conditions. Additionally, studies are focusing on optimizing the interaction between support materials and the enzyme to boost catalytic efficiency. The development of enzyme mimics, particularly through improved metal-ligand coordination, offers a cost-effective and stable alternative. Collectively, these innovations represent a significant step toward sustainable carbon management, providing scalable and environmentally friendly solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. • Carbonic anhydrase offers eco-friendly CO₂ capture potential. • Enzyme engineering improves stability and catalytic efficiency. • Immobilization enhances enzyme reusability in harsh conditions. • Synthetic CA mimics provide cost-effective, stable alternatives. • Metal–ligand optimization boosts mimic performance for CCUS.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2025.103284","authors":["Meng Ding","Yuqi Ji","Du Yanchen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-11T22:47:59Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jcou.2025.103284","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.202573053","name":"Assessing the Geochemical and Petrophysical Properties of Onshore Basalts in Malaysia: Potential Study for CO2 Sequestration","source":"crossref","abstract":"Summary CCUS is an effective and enhanced approach for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions produced from CO2.

N2 and CO2 injection produce substantially different recovery processes. Coal has a higher affinity for CO2 as compared to methane (CH4). Preferential adsorption of CO2, a larger molecule than methane, onto the coal surface results in a dramatic decrease in cleat permeability due to coal swelling. This ultimately induces a loss of injectivity creating a significant technical hurdle for CCS operations in coal. In contrast, N2 increases cleat permeability because of its lower coal storage capacity relative to methane. As a result, injectivity increases during N2-ECBM. Theoretically, the injection of a mixture of CO2 and N2 will result in ECBM and CCS without a loss of injectivity. This study presents an investigation of that concept. To identify key geological and reservoir parameters driving ECBM and sequestration processes in deep unminable coal seams, a Monte Carlo probabilistic approach was implemented. Results from tornado plots confirmed the major role that coal rank (Langmuir isotherms) and pressure-dependent permeability data play in ECBM processes. As coal rank determines the maximum gas-in-place that could be stored per volume of coal, average fracture permeability, matrix and pore compressibility, and differential swelling factors are predominant in coal capacity to flow water and gas phases, impacting both incremental methane production as well as injectivity. Additionally, cleat permeability will vary greatly in response to injected gas composition during ECBM process. To better understand the consequences of these permeability changes by coal rank, a parametric study was designed. First results show that, for a specific coal rank, ECBM can drastically improve by increase N2 content in the injected gas stream. However, methane incremental recovery due to high N2 content will increase up to a maximum N2 concentration, or threshold: besides this threshold, breakthrough occurs too rapidly to generate additional methane recovery. This N2 threshold varies between coal ranks, as pressure dependant parameters also vary relative to the rank. Finally, 100%N2 injection scenarios per coal rank highlight permeability behaviors easily explained in theory but which would probably need additional laboratory measurements to better understand their physical meaning while encountered during \"real world\" problems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139723-ms","authors":["Karine Schepers","Anne Oudinot","Nino Ripepi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2011-02-17T20:07:02Z","doi":"10.2118/139723-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21552/cclr/2012/1/206","name":"The Legal and Regulatory Issues Associated with Carbon Capture and Storage in Arctic States","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21552/cclr/2012/1/206","authors":["N.

One of such technologies is Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) given its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially from hard-to-abate sectors. Several developed economies including Norway and the United States have begun to leverage CCUS, developing coherent legal and fiscal frameworks that support the adoption of this technology. The United States in particular leads the charge with the highest number of publicly announced projects. This level of adoption is however not replicated in developing economies, particularly Africa, despite being one of the most vulnerable and least resilient regions to climate change. In Nigeria particularly, while there is some policy enthusiasm, especially with references to the adoption of the CCUS in the country's Energy Transition Plan (ETP), the development of the technology in Nigeria is still largely theoretical. The main thrust of this article will be to examine the legal, policy, and institutional dimensions of deploying CCUS within Nigeria's energy transition framework. This is especially important considering the prime role that the country plays in Africa's climate future given its large population, extensive coastline and its legacy as one of the continent's most important country, politically and economically. The article situates its analysis within Nigeria's peculiar emissions profile and developmental constraints, arguing that the country's heavy reliance on fossil fuels, continued gas flaring, and structural energy poverty makes the adoption of CCUS important if it were to achieve its Net-Zero target. The article finds that although Nigeria possesses significant geological potential for CO₂ storage, the absence of comprehensive geological surveys, a clear liability regime, and enabling legislation undermines investment confidence and project viability. The article further demonstrates that existing instruments contain only fragmented references to CCUS and are therefore insufficient to move the adoption of the technology from policy rhetoric to regulatory reality. It recommends the enactment of a dedicated CCUS statute defining subsurface ownership and liability, instituting rigorous monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) standards, and integrating CCUS within the ETP. By addressing these legal and policy gaps, Nigeria can establish a credible pathway for operationalising CCUS as an important tool for decarbonisation, sustainable energy governance, and climate accountability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5838862","authors":["Olutunji Oyelade","Victor Adewumi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-05T11:51:11Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.5838862","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ceramint.2024.12.459","name":"Hydration characteristics of phosphoaluminate cement for carbon capture, storage and utilization(CCUS) well cementing and the mechanism of pore and compressive strength evolution","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ceramint.2024.12.459","authors":["Shuo Yang","Bin Yuan","Bihua Xu","Dayang Wen","Qinghao Feng","Zhiming Chen","Danzhu Zheng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-28T16:13:01Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ceramint.2024.12.459","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jcou.2019.07.010","name":"Ways to improve the efficiency of carbon dioxide utilization and gas hydrate storage at low temperatures","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2019.07.010","authors":["S.Y.

Although permeability is determined using core flooding experiments, recent advancements in micro-CT imaging and pore scale fluid flow simulations have made it possible to constrain permeability honoring pore scale rock structure. However, due to high computational and experimental costs, it might be difficult to determine permeability for systems which might undergo a dynamic variation in the underlying pore topology caused by a range of geological processes. This study presents a graph theory-based approach to determine permeability for such systems. The method involves transforming a given micro-CT rock image to a graph network map followed by the identification of the least resistance path to fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet faces. The method was tested on a variety of micro-CT images. Our analysis suggested a strong correlation of flow resistance determined from graph theory and numerically determined permeability. This indicates that the graph theory method can be used as a proxy for full physics simulations for determining effective permeability for samples with changing pore structure while improving computational efficiency by a factor of 250.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202570007","authors":["A.

Mineral carbonation or mineralization of CO 2 using rocks or waste industrial materials is emerging as a viable carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, especially for smaller and medium-scale emitters where geological sequestration is not feasible. During mineralization processes, CO 2 chemically reacts with alkaline earth metals in waste materials or rocks to form stable and non-toxic carbonates In situ mineral carbonation holds promise due to ample resources and enhanced security.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a promising solution, provided suitable CO2 reservoirs are identified. Basalts are increasingly considered for CO2 storage due to their heterogeneous internal structure, connected vesicles, and high content of reactive minerals, which permanently sequester CO2 faster through mineral trapping than sedimentary rocks. Immiscible two-phase flow in basalts is presumably very different compared to sedimentary rocks because of the large heterogeneity in pore sizes. However, important multi-phase flow properties such as relative permeability and capillary pressure remain poorly constrained in basalts. In this study, we use computational fluid dynamics with the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method to track the evolution of fluid-fluid interfaces. Three-dimensional X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCΤ) images of a range of pore geometries were used to simulate two-phase flow under capillary-dominated flow rates. The results were used to determine pore-scale capillary pressure (Pc) under dynamic conditions where the interfaces do not reach equilibrium. Analysis suggested that the Pc is influenced by the pore structure and size, and by the interfacial tension between the two fluid phases.

The technical connotations of CCUS are elucidated, and the existing issues and challenges are identified from the perspectives of technology, economics, safety and system integration. The CO 2 capture technologies are relatively mature; the emergence of novel processes such as direct air capture (DAC) and advanced materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer new choices for efficient capture, but issues related to high energy consumption and operational costs remain unresolved. The CO 2 geological utilization has developed earlier, where breakthroughs rely on effective source matching, enhanced miscibility and increased swept volume. The CO 2 chemical utilization exhibits broad market potential for producing high value-added products, and the development of catalytic systems with high conversion efficiency and low cost is identified as the core challenge. For CO 2 storage, diverse geological bodies provide vast theoretical capacities on both land and offshore worldwide, but subsidy policies and carbon market regulation are required to offset the limited economic returns of storage technologies. This study highlights several frontier technologies, including low-concentration CO 2 capture, CO 2 -enhanced oil recovery (EOR), CO 2 -based green fuel synthesis, microbial CO 2 conversion, CO 2 mineralization and hydrogen production, and CO 2 cushion gas replacement in underground gas storage (UGS). Through cost-effective innovation, regional pipeline network development, flexible technology integration, coordinated macro-policy regulation, and cross-disciplinary collaboration, CCUS can achieve a transformative scale-up from million-ton and ten-million-ton capacities to the hundred-million-ton level, contributing to the achievement of the carbon neutrality goals of China.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s1876-3804(26)60669-6","authors":["Caineng ZOU","Chenjun ZHANG","Jun CHENG","Weifeng LYU","Xu JIN","Ming GAO","Songtao WU","Hongwei YU","Huidi YU","Zhi YANG","Guoqiang SANG","Lanqiong ZHANG","Hanlin LIU","Ke WANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-02T16:14:04Z","doi":"10.1016/s1876-3804(26)60669-6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-443-44839-3.00009-4","name":"Overview of CO2 emission","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-443-44839-3.00009-4","authors":["Pratima Bajpai"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-26T11:35:16Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-443-44839-3.00009-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"doi:10.25689/np.2023.1.142-154","name":"Carbon capture and utilization: benefits and implications","source":"crossref","abstract":"Экологические проблемы, связанные с выбросами парниковых газов, стали глобальными проблемами.

Although several alternatives are available for monitoring plume path deviations during injection, the cost of monitoring still is a paramount concern for operators. The conjecture of this work is that dynamic data measured at injection wells are informative of the presence of heterogeneities large enough to affect plume paths. Hence geologic models updated using injection data can be used to predict better the trajectory of CO2 plumes and to design operational schemes that will ensure long term containment of the injected CO2. To test this conjecture, we have adapated a probabilistic history matching software (Pro-HMS) originally developed for oil field applications. The software assimilates injection data commonly monitored at active and inactive wells into models for the subsurface aquifer/reservoir. The algorithm yields an ensemble of realizations geologically consistent with the initial model such that the uncertainity in CO2 plume location can be easily assessed. We illustrate the approach with synthetic examples (a deep, heterogeneous aquifer with a long streak of large or small permeability) for which the reference bottomhole pressure and rate responses from injection and inactive wells were obtained from simulation. The updated models obtained after the history matching process detected the presence of the streak, and the subsequent estimation of CO2 plume location was much more accurate. Pressure data recorded at inactive wells were essential for detecting the streak. Monitoring such wells is thus expected to provide valuable information about geologic heterogeneities. The results confirm that injection rate and pressure data provide an inexpensive option for monitoring CO2 plumes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/126693-ms","authors":["Cesar A.

This research combines info from ongoing CCS projects and compares before-combustion, after-combustion, and oxy-fuel methods. Research suggests that using CCS for power generation can cut CO₂ emissions by more than90% when the appropriate technology and storage processes are applied.

The distribution of CCS project costs is shown in a pie chart, and bar charts and tables are used to compare NPV and IRR in various deployment scenarios. Also, when we look at global CCS activities on a map, we can see a rising number of pilot projects in North America, the Middle East, and Asia. As shown by environmental analysis, CCS reduces the carbon intensity of hydrocarbon production but does not remove upstream emissions.

As part of the feasibility assessment for CO2 injection and storage in this field, the field's ability and capacity to accommodate the incoming CO2 rate must be demonstrated to support further detailed evaluations and decision-making. Comprehensive reservoir modelling studies, combined with analytical evaluation analysis were conducted on multi-stacked reservoir packages which consists of four major and eight minor reservoirs. These assessments aimed to determine the storage capacity range and CO2 injection profiles within the safe operating limits recommended by geomechanical studies. Additionally, the maximum CO2 injection rate per well was set approximately 20% below the critical injection limit, as determined by laboratory experiments on CO2 injectivity, to avoid pore plugging. The study covered 24 years of gas production history matching and followed by 23 years of CO2 injection. Two injection scenarios were developed to manage the forecasted incoming CO2 permeate stream of 5 MTPA over 23 years. Scenario-1 involves CO2 injection and storage in both major and minor reservoirs, requiring an estimated eleven injectors to reach the injection targets. In contrast, Scenario-2 focuses only on major reservoirs, reducing the number of required injectors by half. Although Scenario-1 offer approximately 17% more storage capacity, Scenario-2 is more economically attractive with less injectors further improving project feasibility. Due to the predicted lower average reservoir pressures across all reservoirs at the start of injection and to mitigate risk of flow assurance issues, CO2 will be injected in gaseous phase first to pressurize reservoir pressure above approximately 1,100 psia, after which the injection fluid will transition from gaseous to supercritical CO2/dense phase. However, since neither scenario can sustain the required 5 MTPA injection rate until 2050, as required, hence the inclusion of a secondary storage site is recommended to maintain the plateau injection rate throughout the 23-year period. This paper highlights potential CO2 injection strategies for the aforesaid field. However, the capacity availability from the field alone is insufficient to handle CO2 injection for the full 23-year period, providing important insights for the project team to consider incorporating secondary storage site(s) into the overall storage development plan.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/225914-ms","authors":["M.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of solution and gas flow rates between NaOH and KOH absorbents on the removal of dissolved CO2 gas.

While sandstone formations in Denmark have been the primary focus due to their favourable properties, chalk offers vast but underutilised storage potential despite its low permeability and high geochemical reactivity. The research addresses critical gaps in understanding chalk-CO2 interactions, focusing on continuous versus intermittent supercritical CO2 (scCO2) injection, and the influence of residual hydrocarbons on flow behaviour and mineral reactions. Four core flooding experiments were conducted using Tor Formation chalk samples from original and waterflooded reservoir conditions. Brine-saturated cores exhibited increased permeability under continuous injection, attributed to matrix dissolution, whereas intermittent injection resulted in reduced permeability due to carbonate precipitation. In hydrocarbon-bearing cores, increased permeability was observed in conjunction with modest changes in porosity, suggesting that residual oil moderated reactivity and influenced fluid-fluid interactions. The results highlight the strong influence of reservoir history and injection protocol on injectivity and reactivity in chalk formations. These insights are vital for optimising CO2 injection strategies in fine-grained carbonate reservoirs with significant, yet untapped, storage potential.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.2025644024","authors":["W.

The sensitive factors including production scale, coal price, and carbon tax are investigated, especially the CWS concentration is compared at 63% and 68% scenarios. A CTM plant with 180 × 104 t/a production scale shows that the saving cost could reach 29.20 × 106 US$ and the CO2 emission could be reduced by 0.65 × 106 t/a every year as the CWS concentration increases.

Second, a time-varying carbon quota allocation mechanism and a dynamic correction model for carbon emission factors are designed to improve the regulation capability of carbon capture units during peak demand periods.

The research resulted in basin-scale analyses of CO{sub 2} and brine leakage in light of uncertainties in the characteristics of leakage processes, and generated frameworks to monetize the risks of leakage interference with competing subsurface resources. The geographic focus was the Michigan sedimentary basin, for which a 3D topographical model was constructed to represent the hydrostratigraphy. Specifically for Ottawa County, a statistical analysis of the hydraulic properties of underlying sedimentary formations was conducted. For plausible scenarios of injection into the Mt. Simon sandstone, leakage rates were estimated and fluxes into shallow drinking-water aquifers were found to be less than natural analogs of CO{sub 2} fluxes. We developed the Leakage Impact Valuation (LIV) model in which we identified stakeholders and estimated costs associated with leakage events. It was found that costs could be incurred even in the absence of legal action or other subsurface interference because there are substantial costs of finding and fixing the leak and from injection interruption. We developed a model framework called RISCS, which can be used to predict monetized risk of interference with subsurface resources by combining basin-scale leakage predictions with the LIV method. The project has also developed a cost calculator called the Economic and Policy Drivers Module (EPDM), which comprehensively calculates the costs of carbon sequestration and leakage, and can be used to examine major drivers for subsurface leakage liabilities in relation to specific injection scenarios and leakage events. Finally, we examined the competiveness of CCS in the energy market. This analysis, though qualitative, shows that financial incentives, such as a carbon tax, are needed for coal combustion with CCS to gain market share. In another part of the project we studied the role of geochemical reactions in affecting the probability of CO{sub 2} leakage. A basin-scale simulation tool was modified to account for changes in leakage rates due to permeability alterations, based on simplified mathematical rules for the important geochemical reactions between acidified brines and caprock minerals. In studies of reactive flows in fractured caprocks, we examined the potential for permeability increases, and the extent to which existing reactive transport models would or would not be able to predict it. Using caprock specimens from the Eau Claire and Amherstburg, we found that substantial increases in permeability are possible for caprocks that have significant carbonate content, but minimal alteration is expected otherwise. We also found that while the permeability increase may be substantial, it is much less than what would be predicted from hydrodynamic models based on mechanical aperture alone because the roughness that is generated tends to inhibit flow.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/1126712","authors":["Catherine Peters","Jeffrey Fitts","Elizabeth Wilson","Melisa Pollak","Jeffrey Bielicki","Vatsal Bhatt"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2014-05-08T19:13:53Z","doi":"10.2172/1126712","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jcou.2025.103024","name":"Capturing microalgae within aerosols provides carbon capture bio-functionality","source":"crossref","abstract":"Climate change due to the greenhouse effect poses arguably the greatest challenge to humanity.

Numerous pilot- and commercial-scale projects executed throughout the world have successfully stored more than 30 million tonnes of CO2 in deep saline reservoirs. Prior to initiating CO2 injection, each of these projects performed a comprehensive site risk assessment (RA) to identify potential hazards and demonstrate the CO2 could be stored with minimal risk to human health and the environment. A primary concern associated with any CCS site is the potential for fluid movement, e.g., brine and/or CO2, from the storage reservoir into overlying sources of drinking water. Possible conduits for fluid migration include transmissive faults, natural or induced fracture systems, and improperly plugged or poorly cemented wells and wellbores. As such, determining leakage potential is a primary component of RAs performed during the site characterization period.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Many RA methodologies have been adapted to or developed for assessing leakage risk at CCS sites. Several comprehensive reviews of common RA methodologies applied to CCS sites have been completed recently. These studies demonstrate that there is no universally established approach for conducting RAs for carbon storage projects. RA methodologies can generally be binned into one of two categories: qualitative or quantitative. Qualitative RAs tend to rely more heavily upon expert elicitation to identify and categorize risks, while quantitative RAs typically include high fidelity simulations that describe the evolution of the storage system throughout the lifetime of the project. Both approaches have merit and have been used to secure regulatory approval for commercial-scale CCS projects. However, there are efficiencies to be gained by unifying both approaches.

Many of these reservoirs are being waterflooded to sustain the oil production. Instead of injecting plain water, injecting carbonated (CO2-enriched) water could bring additional oil recovery and added benefit of safe storage of CO2. In carbonated water injection (CWI), CO2 is dissolved in the injected brine prior to injection and then transported through the reservoir by the flood water. As a single phase, carbonated water mobility contrast with oil is more favourable than in the CO2 gas-oil system thus improves sweep efficiency and retards CO2 breakthrough. The slightly higher density of the carbonated water than the unadulterated water would induce the injected CO2 to slump towards the bottom of the reservoir, eliminating the risk of buoyancy-driven leakage thus securing storage. This paper presents the results of an integrated experimental and numerical simulation study of tertiary CWI. A series of high pressure flow visualisation and coreflood experiments as well as compositional simulation have been carried out to evaluate the process.

The visualisation experiments in high-pressure glass micromodels reveal that the oil swelling from CO2 diffusion into the oil and the subsequent oil viscosity reduction, coalescence of the isolated oil ganglia and flow diversion due to flow restriction in some of the pores as a result of oil swelling and the resultant fluid redistribution are the main mechanisms of oil recovery by the tertiary CWI. There was also evidence of micromodel surface becoming more water wet that could also play a role in the oil recovery. The coreflood tests results clearly show that the post waterflood CWI could remobilize the remaining trapped oil in the watered-out core that leads to significant additional oil recovery. A very gradual (dissolved) CO2 breakthrough exhibited in this process is a significant advantage over the sudden CO2 breakthrough problem commonly faced in the conventional CO2 flooding. CWI is also highly potential as CO2 storage injection strategy as demonstrated by almost 50% of the total volume of CO2 injected (in carbonated water) was being stored at the end of the test. There is a challenge in simulating the physics of the CWI process using the commercially available reservoir simulators which will also be discussed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139667-ms","authors":["N.I.

In addition, the challenges associated with the implementation of these technologies were analysed.The results revealed a significant increase in publications on the subject in recent years. In addition, the potential of biocements was highlighted, particularly for the repair of cracks in concrete. Biochar and slag proved to be viable for use as aggregates or binders. The study also revealed the emerging potential of supercritical carbonation in comparison to accelerated carbonation, particularly due to its high CO 2 capture efficiency.

In this work, we modeled gas adsorption on wet coals by considering water as an active component in a binary mixture. Specifically, we used the simplified local-density/Peng-Robinson (SLD-PR) model to investigate the effect of the water present in coals on gas adsorption under the conditions encountered in coalbed methane (CBM) and CO2 sequestration applications. To conduct this study, our previously acquired measurements for high-pressure CO2 adsorption on wet coals were utilized. When water is treated as one of the adsorbed components in a high-pressure gas adsorption system, as many as three phases may coexist at equilibrium. To investigate the phase behavior of CO2/water adsorbed gas mixtures on wet coals, a new algorithm was developed to facilitate a Gibbs energy-driven multiphase analysis of this system. The algorithm uses a phase-insertion technique, which involves formally inserting a third (liquid) phase and solving a three-phase flash problem, wherein the three phases are the adsorbed, bulk gas and liquid phases. At equilibrium, the total Gibbs energy of the system is calculated based on the phase distribution obtained at each step. This calculation is repeated sequentially with incrementally increased amounts of the inserted third phase. A Gibbs energy analysis for CO2/water mixed gas adsorption on wet coals was conducted utilizing this new algorithm. Results involving CO2/water mixtures on four well-characterized coals indicate that the SLD-PR model is capable of representing the adsorption of these highly asymmetric mixtures within the experimental uncertainties. The Gibbs analysis of these coals indicates that there is a third phase present in systems that contain large amounts of moisture. The third, water-rich phase appeared typically at the higher pressures in the isotherm.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139596-ms","authors":["S. A. Mohammad","R. L. Robinson","K. A.

The 43 year-old well, a gas producer from a now depleted reservoir has undergone extensive research in order to determine its suitability for CO2 storage. The main objective, in terms of containment, is to avoid that the injected CO2 migrates back to the atmosphere or to potable aquifers. Existing wells are often identified as a potential weak point in the containment system, because cement, casing and elastomers can be degraded by CO2 over time. Since any defects within the cement sheath may accelerate this aging mechanism, the material behind the casing should be fully characterized especially across the caprock. Cement bond log data was available from the 43 year old RSE-1 well, which only gave a qualitative indication of the casing-cement bond, but did not allow a detailed characterization of the material behind the casing. To gain more detailed information, new cement evaluation logs were acquired over the lower 905 m of a 2000 m thick caprock using a new generation 3D ultrasonic cement imager coupled with an array sonic imager. The use of different, independent measurements revealed good casing-cement bond that could be compared to the original logs from 1967 to confirm no degradation over the production life of the well. However, annulus imaging revealed breakouts and a very eccentered casing (almost touching the borehole wall), both of which led to the presence of mud pockets. Detailed evaluation of these pockets indicated that they are not connected and that zonal isolation over the 836 m cemented section of the caprock is indeed achieved. Modeling of cement imaging data also suggested good cement-formation bond, without any external microannulus presence. Detailed characterization of the material behind casing, casing eccentralization and intermittent mud pockets provided an improved understanding in terms of well integrity. The results showed that the RSE-1 well nevertheless provides adequate hydraulic isolation for the injection of CO2 and that the cement sheath can therefore be eliminated as a potential weak spot in terms of containment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139506-ms","authors":["U.

Emerging technologies like CCS are often unfamiliar to the public and can be misinterpreted when publics are not involved in the decision-making process, leading to opposition and barriers to deployment. Engaging the public on policy decisions can prevent such obstacles from hampering implementation. This study aims to elicit preferences and estimate the distribution of willingness to pay (WTP) for carbon capture and storage in the United Kingdom (UK). We employ the contingent valuation method with double bounded dichotomous choice format, administering an online survey to 1033 individuals from the UK. Interval regression analysis is applied to estimate mean WTP. Our findings indicate that public attitudes towards CCS in the UK tend to be relatively positive. Mean WTP for the implementation of CCS is £95.50. We find that environmental attitudes more than socio-demographic characteristics are significant factors in WTP decisions for CCS. Public acceptance is critical to ensure appropriate steps are taken to move CCS projects and policy forward and prevent further delay in tackling emissions in the energy sector.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00267-025-02174-6","authors":["Tanisha Waring","Alberto Longo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-22T18:44:29Z","doi":"10.1007/s00267-025-02174-6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.rser.2024.115179","name":"Integrating geothermal energy and carbon capture and storage technologies: A review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Geothermal energy production and CO 2 capture and storage are two promising technological solutions for mitigating climate change and addressing the need for a sustainable global energy supply. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of concepts that combine and integrate these technologies. A comprehensive literature review has been conducted, resulting in the mapping of fifteen hybrid concepts. Certain concepts use supercritical CO 2 as the heat vector, some inject dissolved CO 2 into the geothermal brine , and others propose the separate use of distinct fluids for each purpose. Subsurface competition among the concepts is lower than could be initially expected: even if some concepts target similar formations at different depths and temperatures, a number of concepts are designed for specific subsurface characteristics. Besides, the concepts integrate differently into the value chains of CO 2 capture and storage and provide different energy services. Most technologies are at low-to-intermediate maturity levels. Scaling up of these technologies would require addressing technical and non-technical challenges that share several similarities. Recommendations include promoting demonstration projects, fostering collaborative research, proposing incentives for CO 2 storage or emissions reduction, and advocating for a more flexible regulatory framework for hybrid applications.

The FutureGen 2.0 CO2 Pipeline and Storage Project evolved from an initial siting and project definition effort in Phase I, into the Phase II activity consisting permitting, design development, the acquisition of land rights, facility design, and licensing and regulatory approvals. Phase II also progressed into construction packaging, construction procurement, and targeted early preparatory activities in the field. The CO2 Pipeline and Storage Project accomplishments were significant, and in some cases unprecedented. The engineering, permitting, legal, stakeholder, and commercial learnings substantially advance the nation’s understanding of commercial-scale CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers. Voluminous and significant information was obtained from the drilling and the testing program of the subsurface, and sophisticated modeling was performed that held up to a wide range of scrutiny. All designs progressed to the point of securing construction contracts or comfort letters attesting to successful negotiation of all contract terms and willing execution at the appropriate time all major project elements – pipeline, surface facilities, and subsurface – as well as operations. While the physical installation of the planned facilities did not proceed in part due to insufficient time to complete the project prior to the expiration of federal funding, the project met significant objectives prior to DOE’s closeout decision. Had additional time been available, there were no known, insurmountable obstacles that would have precluded successful construction and operation of the project. Due to the suspension of the project, site restoration activities were developed and the work was accomplished. The site restoration efforts are also documented in this report. All permit applications had been submitted to all agencies for those permits or approvals required prior to the start of project construction. Most of the requisite permits were received during Phase II. This report includes information on each permitting effort. Successes and lessons learned are included in this report that will add value to the next generation of carbon storage efforts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/1328392","authors":["Chris Burger","David Wortman","Chris Brown","Syed Hassan","Ken Humphreys","Mark Willford"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-10-11T11:34:21Z","doi":"10.2172/1328392","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21552/cclr/2021/4/6","name":"A Pathway for Carbon Capture and Storage in Iran: An International Climate Change Law Perspective","source":"crossref","abstract":"Developing countries that are rich in fossil fuels are now designing their climate mitigation plans with carbon capture and storage specifically in mind.

We present two case studies from Daylesford (Australia) and Pah Tempe (Utah, USA) mineral springs, where we use a numerical geochemical modelling approach to resolve the influence of low temperature water-rock interactions and CO2 equilibration to the oxygen isotope ranges observed in the mineral waters. In both cases, we find that mineral dissolution – precipitation reactions are unlikely to have a significant effect on the groundwater isotopic compositions, and that the observed δ18O values in natural CO2 springs can be simply explained by equilibrium fractionation between water and free phase CO2. Traditionally, the interaction of CO2 and water in a natural CO2-rich groundwater setting has only been associated with water 18O depletion and this is the first study to consider 18O enrichment. We establish that in a natural setting, CO2 and water equilibration can result in water 18O depletion or enrichment, and that the change in the oxygen isotope composition ultimately depends on the initial CO2 and water δ18O values. Our new conceptual model therefore provides a mechanism to explain water 18O enrichment at ambient temperatures. This finding is critical for the use of δ18O in groundwater geothermometry and for the interpretation of natural water circulation depths: we argue that in some cases, natural waters previously interpreted as geothermal based on their oxygen isotope composition may actually have acquired their isotopic signature through interaction with CO2 at ambient temperatures.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apgeochem.2017.06.012","authors":["Rūta Karolytė","Sascha Serno","Gareth Johnson","Stuart M.V.

Among various mechanisms, CO2 can be trapped in saline aquifers by dissolution in the formation water. Vaporization of water occurs along with the dissolution of CO2. Vaporization can cause salt precipitation, which reduces porosity and impairs permeability of the aquifer in the vicinity of the wellbore, and can lead to reduction in injectivity. In an earlier work, we developed an analytical model to predict the precipitated salt saturation and CO2 displacement around the wellbore. In this study we analyse the effect of different parameters on the salt precipitation and CO2-brine displacement. The parameters include: aquifer pressure, temperature, salinity, relative permeability functions, and volume change upon mixing. The results indicate that increasing the salinity, increases the CO2 spread due to reduced vaporization and dissolution. Furthermore, it is found that the amount of salt precipitation increases and the maximum plume size decreases with pressure increase. The CO2 plume expands by increasing the temperature. However, the effect of temperature on the salt precipitation depends on the pressure. Increasing relative permeability of the aqueous phase (or decreasing the relative permeability of the gaseous phase) causes both the amount of precipitated salt saturation and the extent of the CO2 plume to decrease. It is also fond that the effect of volume change upon mixing may be negligible at higher pressures. For the range of parameters studied, both the solid salt saturation and the plume extent are very sensitive to the relative permeability of the aqueous phase. While the plume size is also very sensitive to the pressure, the salt precipitation is most affected by the brine salinity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/126690-ms","authors":["M. Zeidouni","M.

However, using well cements to zonally isolate CO2 for up to 1,000 years, as required for permanent reservoir storage, may be challenging. Some researchers claim that cement fails when exposed to CO2, leading to potential leakage to the atmosphere or into underground structures that may contain drinking water. Other investigators show cement samples from 30 to 50 year-old wells that have maintained sealing integrity and prevented CO2 leakage, even though some degree of carbonation was found. This paper presents likely reasons for this disparity between research lab test results and actual well performance data, along with best practices to provide efficient cement-based zonal isolation of CO2 storage zones. Also discussed are recent laboratory results from testing cement samples surrounded by formation material treated at two different downhole conditions. In one case, the cement specimens were treated with a 40% humid CO2 at 140°F and 2,000 psi whereas in the second case they were treated with saturated CO2 in water at 200°F and 2,000 psi for various time intervals. Results show that samples of carefully designed cement systems had a mild carbonation without any sign of loss of mechanical or sealing integrity which could lead to zonal isolation failure. A newly-applied laboratory testing method used for decades for other purposes is proposed to determine CO2 sealing performance by cement in a relatively short time period compared to previous methods. In summary, this paper discusses a comprehensive approach that may be taken to help ensure long-term, effective CO2 zonal isolation in new wells, in existing wells (via remedial solutions), and in wells to be plugged and abandoned.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/126226-ms","authors":["R.

While several evaluations have been conducted to determine CO2 storage resource/capacity estimates, they are the result of different methodologies, and a comparison of the results is often difficult and/or misleading. Thus the development of approaches and methods for developing CO2 storage estimates that can be applied to assessments at a wide range of scales has been identified as crucial to the advancement of broadly applicable and comparable \"storage coefficients.\" At the heart of the matter is the fact that only a fraction of the pore space within any given geological formation will be available or amenable to CO2 storage. The purpose of a storage coefficient is to assign a value to that fraction of a given pore volume in which CO2 can be effectively stored. In order to develop broadly applicable storage coefficients, three methodologies for determining storage resource/capacity in deep saline formations were evaluated: two that can be applied to open systems and one for application in closed systems. In the end, effective storage coefficients were developed for application to deep saline formations at scales ranging from site-specific evaluations to entire formations. Real-world data sets and numerical modeling simulations were used to calculate storage coefficients at the site-specific scale for three lithologies, ten depositional environments, and five structural settings. These results can then be modified and translated into effective storage coefficients that can be applied at the formation scale for the three main lithologies. To develop estimates of effective storage resources for entire basins, estimates for each formation within the basin must be summed. This same methodology can be applied for estimating effective storage resources within state/provincial and national boundaries. In this way, the application of the broadly applicable effective storage coefficients developed by this project can be used to estimate the effective storage resource at levels ranging from site-specific to formation-level, ultimately spanning large sedimentary basins and even entire nations and continents.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/126444-ms","authors":["Charles D.

Coal is the world’s fastest growing fossil fuel. This trend presents a forceful case for the development and wide dissemination of technologies that can decouple coal consumption from CO2 emissions - the leading candidate technology to do this is carbon capture and storage (CCS). China simultaneously presents the most challenging and critical test for CCS deployment at scale. While China has begun an handful of marquee CCS demonstration projects, the stark reality to be explored in this paper is that China’s incentives for keeping on the forefront of CCS technology learning do not translate into incentives to massively deploy CCS in power plant applications as CO2 mitigation scenarios would have it. In fact, fundamental and interrelated Chinese interests - in energy security, economic growth and development, and macroeconomic stability - directly argue against large-scale implementation of CCS in China unless such an implementation can be almost entirely supported by outside funding. This paper considers how these core Chinese goals play out in the specific context of the country’s coal and power markets, and uses this analysis to draw conclusions about the path of CCS implementation in China’s energy sector. Finally, the paper argues that effective climate change policy will require both the vigorous promotion and careful calculation of CCS’s role in Chinese power generation. As the world approaches the end of the Kyoto Protocol in 2012 and crafts a new policy architecture for a global climate deal, international offset policy and potential US offset standards need to create methodologies that directly address CCS funding at scale. The more closely these policies are aligned with China’s own incentives and the unique context of its coal and power markets, the better chance they have of realizing the optimal role for CCS in global climate efforts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1463572","authors":["Richard K.

This research presents a novel optimization framework for CCS energy systems utilizing a customized Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) based on the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II). Unlike traditional gradient-based methods, which often struggle with the non-linear and non-convex nature of carbon capture chemistry and transport logistics, the proposed evolutionary approach utilizes a dynamic mutation strategy to explore a high-dimensional search space of system configurations. The framework treats the capture unit, compression chain, and geological storage as a singular, coupled system, optimizing for the simultaneous reduction of operational costs and carbon intensity. The optimization framework was validated using publicly available benchmark data from the IEA GHG Programme and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), supplemented by experimental solvent regeneration data from Knudsen et al. (2011) and Moser et al. (2011). By applying the evolutionary paradigm, the system achieved a 11.2% reduction in Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) compared to a standard post-combustion capture baseline of 114.6 USD/MWh, yielding an optimized value of approximately 97.4 USD/MWh. From a thermodynamic perspective, the algorithm successfully lowered the specific energy consumption for solvent regeneration to 2.85 GJ/tCO2, representing an 11.2% improvement relative to the 3.21 GJ/tCO2 baseline reported for advanced solvent systems. Environmental metrics further validate the approach, showing a 13.9% increase in net carbon abatement through optimized scheduling of capture cycles during off-peak hours. Furthermore, the multi-objective Pareto front yielded a 15% increase in hypervolume diversity relative to a standard genetic algorithm baseline, providing a robust set of decision-making tools for balancing economic viability with aggressive decarbonization goals. These findings confirm that evolutionary algorithms offer a scalable and computationally efficient path for the large-scale deployment of optimized CCS technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/235113-ms","authors":["M.

The interest in CCS started as an important instrument in the process of energy transition, i.e. a policy aiming to transition away from a fossil fuel economy and to limit the level of CO 2 emissions. The policy of energy transition was developed by several ministries in early 2000 and led to the establishment of the Energy Transition Task Force (ETTF) in January 2005, which consisted of representatives from industry, government, research organizations, financial institutions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). In the Transition Action Plan ‘More with Energy’ that was presented in May 2006, the task force set some ambitious goals for 2050, i.e. energy savings of 1.5 to 2 per cent each year, a substantial use of renewable energy sources and a reduction of CO 2 emissions by half (compared to 1990) and at the same time strengthening the position of Dutch industry. In order to make the gas industry more sustainable, the task force considered the need for projects involving CO 2 capture and (underground) storage. As part of a Working Programme ‘Clean and Efficient’ of 2007 the Dutch government aimed at examining the possibility of CCS and to develop and subsidise three demonstration projects in the Netherlands. The task force even presented the ambitious idea that the Netherlands could be turned into an EU CO 2 hub due to the expected large number of (soon to be) depleted oil and gas fields. It thus focused on developing CO 2 storage locations onshore as suitable reservoirs would (soon) become available and it was the least costly option. Despite a serious attempt to set up a pilot phase in Barendrecht where Shell was involved both as the capturer at a refinery near Rotterdam and as the holder of a gas production licence (and potential storage licence), the project failed due to major public opposition. As a result, no storage licence was award for this project.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1017/9781780689487.022","authors":["Martha M.

This study utilizes different rock physics models to model elastic properties of basalt flows and found that DEM offers the best accuracy.

Carbon dioxide captured from these point sources will be injected into these geologic reservoirs, which may or may not be proximal to the sources. This spatial coupling will occur through a dedicated carbon dioxide pipeline network that connects the industrial organization of carbon dioxide production and capture with the geologic organization of carbon dioxide injection and storage. The relative locations of these sources and sinks are an important component of the overall returns to scale for the integrated carbon capture and storage system. Aggregating CO 2 flows in close proximity to sources and reservoirs increases the utilization of economies of scale in pipeline transportation and impacts the returns to scale and preferred paths forward for targeted deployment of the entire coupled technological system. This paper derives deployment preferences by investigating how the spatial clustering and centralization of carbon dioxide sources and reservoirs affects the ability to aggregate CO 2 flows into networked pipelines. One major result is that, depending on the clustering within and between carbon dioxide sources and reservoirs, it can be advantageous to transport captured carbon dioxide to reservoirs that are not proximal to the point(s) of capture.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2009.01.221","authors":["Jeffrey M.

To date, early-age CO 2 curing of Portland cement pastes has been shown to reduce the later-age performance due to the decalcification of hydration products and starvation of water by early-age carbonation. However, in this study, it was demonstrated that it is possible to control the carbonation and subsequent hydration reactions through the addition of ESA. Two types of synthetic aluminosilicates were synthesised using organosilanes , tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), and functionalised organosilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). The two aluminosilicates behaved slightly differently, confirming the possibility of altering the carbonation and subsequent hydration reactions. The research demonstrates that tailored nanoparticles enhance carbonate formation by preventing decalcification of the hydration product. The ESA took part in pozzolanic reactions which resulted in no starvation of water on carbonation and led to improved performance at a later age when compared to the samples without ESA. Furthermore, decalcification of portlandite was not observed on the addition of ESA. The carbonation reaction mechanisms on the addition of these ESAs were postulated, and the possibility of increase in carbon uptake without affecting the mechanical performance at later ages were shown.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2023.102391","authors":["Pooja Anil Kumar Nair","Kevin Paine","Juliana Calabria-Holley"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-01-11T17:51:47Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jcou.2023.102391","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21552/cclr/2008/2/37","name":"Regulating Carbon Capture and Storage in the European Union: An Economic and Legal Analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21552/cclr/2008/2/37","authors":["S.

Implementing CCUS at a regional scale, based on local GHG reduction needs and opportunities and engaging the discussion with different local stakeholders, can be a way to successfully develop this technology.

This paper describes the CCUS scenario formulated for the Paris basin region and its corresponding business model.&lt;br&gt;Located in the centre-northern part of France, the Paris basin region, as studied in the STRATEGY CCUS project, broadly corresponds to the administrative region of Ile-de-France, which is the most populated region of France with 12 million people. However, the population is concentrated in the Paris agglomeration (88% of the population in 24% of the region surface, with an average of 3,790 inhabitants per km2) and a large part of the region remains rural.&lt;br&gt;The carbon emissions considered in the STRATEGY CCUS project for the Paris basin region amount to 5.5 Mt in 2019, with the particularity that half of the CO2 emitted comes from the waste sector. This total amount is rather low compared to other French regions with heavy industries as iron-steel plants, refineries and cement production.&lt;br&gt;However, the region has great geological storage potential. The Paris basin - which is the largest onshore French sedimentary basin - has been identified by previous research projects (e.g. the EU GeoCapacity project) as a major basin to store CO2 in deep saline aquifers (capacity ranging from 800 Mt up to 27 Gt) and presents several options for storage in depleted hydrocarbon fields. Thus, possibility of storing CO2 from other French regions could be considered.&lt;br&gt;The scenario for CCUS deployment in the Paris basin was based on the database developed in the STRATEGY CCUS project, gathering existing data on CO2 emission sources, transport options, valorization options and geological storage capacities for each of the studied regions.&lt;br&gt;The STRATEGY CCUS scenario for the Paris basin considers, on the period 2027-2035, capturing CO2 from the 3 major carbon emitters in South of Paris: 2 waste incineration plants and a chemical plant; transporting CO2 by new pipelines and building two CO2 collection hubs; and storing it in a deep saline aquifer (Keuper Fm) in the southern part of the region. A cumulated amount of approximately 6 Mt of captured CO2 by 2035 is planned. &lt;br&gt;On the long term (2035-2050), in addition to the previous plants, 4 emitters located on the route between Paris and the storage place would be connected to the CO2 transport pipeline: a natural gas-fired cogeneration plant and 3 waste valorisation plants. A second storage infrastructure would be built to store the surplus of CO2 in the same geological formation but reaching other sedimentary member. By 2050, a total of approximately 30 Mt CO2 would be captured and stored. This would represent 9% of the French national objectives for CCUS.&lt;br&gt;The Paris basin scenario has been evaluated using the techno-economic model developed in the project to provide a business model and associated Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) including negatives emissions from bio-CO2 captured and stored from incinerators. The availability, at the chemical plant, of over 300 kt/y of CO2 already captured for the plant process enables a drastic reduction of the capture costs of the scenario.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4285766","authors":["Isaline Gravaud","Fernanda M.

The research focuses on the potential Smeaheia CO₂ storage site in the Norwegian North Sea, complemented by analogues from the Gubbio and Mt. Gorzano Fault zones in Italy. Utilizing petrophysical measurements, optical microscopy, and structural analysis, we evaluate the deformation mechanisms and their impact on fault rock permeability. Our findings reveal significant variability in fault rock permeability, governed by lithological heterogeneity. Marl-rich fault rocks exhibit permeability that is lower in comparison to that measured within the undeformed host rock, due to clay-rich pressure solution seams and veining, enhancing their sealing capacity. Conversely, carbonate-rich units display increased permeability, associated with brecciation, cataclasis, and open fracturing, which may compromise sealing integrity. Carbonate-marl mixed scenarios show intense brecciation, cementation, veining and pressure solution that results in an average permeability that is similar to that measured within the undeformed host rock, despite the variety of deformation microstructures. At Smeaheia, the dominance of marl within the overburden may suggest a potential for effective containment when juxtaposed against the reservoir unit, due to pressure solution being the likely main active mechanism, that may lower the transmissibility and transmissibility multipliers of the fault. By refining our understanding of fault-sealing mechanisms in carbonate-marl multilayers, these insights are useful for site selection and risk assessment for CO₂ storage where these lithologies are common in the subsurface, contributing to global efforts in carbon management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2025.104427","authors":["E.A.H.

They present real engineering challenges for characterization and exploitation, and their productivity depends upon an inter-related set of reservoir, completion and production characteristics. The Devonian Ohio shale of eastern Kentucky is the State's most prolific gas producer. The gas shale underlies approximately two-thirds of the state, cropping out around the Bluegrass Region of central Kentucky and having a sub crop beneath the Mississippi Embayment in western Kentucky. This paper describes the reservoir modeling and history matching of a Devonian Gas Shale Play, eastern Kentucky, its potential for CO2 enhanced gas recovery and storage. A geologic model of the shale has been compiled from mineralogical, petrographic, core, production, and wireline data. The COMET3 multi-phase, dual porosity simulator is being used to investigate CO2 injection into the shale for enhanced gas recovery. To accomplish this, a subset of wells surrounding the potential injection site has been selected for further study. These eight wells cover approximately 5,300 acres of productive shale. The reservoir was subdivided into the Upper Ohio and Lower Huron members. To capture geological heterogeneity, gas production rates for these wells served as a proxy to characterize fracture permeability using geostatistical methods. Well production was history matched applying an automated process. Finally, several CO2 injection scenarios spanning huff-n-puff to continuous injection were reviewed to evaluate the enhanced gas recovery potential and assess the CO2 storage capacity of these shale reservoirs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/126620-ms","authors":["Karine C.

Among CCS methods, amine-based post-combustion capture is widely used for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

This review examines recent developments in treating amine-rich wastewater, with a focus on economically viable and environmentally sustainable solutions. It discusses amine degradation pathways, byproduct toxicity, and the environmental impacts of untreated wastewater. By examining the physical, chemical, and biological technologies, biological processes, such as the pre-denitrification-nitrification process, stand out as effective and eco-friendly solutions for treating amine-rich wastewater. This study also proposes anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) as a promising approach due to the low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of CCS wastewater. A combined denitrification-anammox process is recommended to improve nitrogen removal efficiency by producing an ammonium- and bicarbonate-rich effluent that favors anammox bacterial growth. However, its effectiveness has not yet been evaluated, highlighting the need for further research.

But at present CCS is very expensive and its performance is highly uncertain at the scale of commercial power plants. Such challenges to deployment, though, are not new to students of technological change. Several successful technologies, including energy technologies, have faced similar challenges as CCS faces now. In this paper we draw lessons for the CCS industry from the history of other energy technologies that, as with CCS today, were risky and expensive early in their commercial development. Specifically, we analyze the development of the US nuclear-power industry, the US SO2-scrubber industry, and the global LNG industry. We focus on three major questions in the development of these analogous industries. First, we consider the creation of the initial market to prove the technology: how and by whom was the initial niche market for these industries created? Second, we look at how risk-reduction strategies for path-breaking projects allowed the technology to evolve into a form so that it could capture a wider market and diffuse broadly into service. Third, we explore the \"learning curves\" that describe the cost reduction as these technologies started to capture significant market share. Our findings suggest that directly applying to CCS the conventional wisdom that is prevalent regarding the deployment and diffusion of technologies can be very misleading. The conventional wisdom may be summarized as: \"Technologies are best deployed if left in the hands of private players\"; \"Don't pick technology winners\" or \"Technology forcing is wrong\"; and \"Technology costs reduce as its cumulative installed capacity increases\". We find that none of these readily applies when thinking about deployment of CCS.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1400163","authors":["Varun Rai","David G. Victor","Mark C.

Here we re-focus this debate on the feasibility of CCS growth in the near-term by constructing plausible ranges of its deployment based on empirical evidence from CCS and other policy-driven technologies. We show that under the most optimistic assumptions of near-term industry plans and their failure rates, CCS can reach 0.37 Gt/year by 2030. While this growth would fall short of three-quarters of 1.5°C scenarios, it would keep CCS on-track for over half of 2°C scenarios.

Reservoir limits are often not modelled in detail, making it difficult to assess how storage availability may affect large-scale CCS deployment in Great Britain. This study develops an integrated optimisation model for Great Britain over 2025–2050 to examine how CCS infrastructure evolves under long-term emissions constraints. Electricity generation, hydrogen production, CO2 capture, transport and offshore storage are optimised within a single framework, with storage represented at reservoir level and subject to cumulative capacity limits. The results show that storage and transport availability shape the timing and scale of CCS deployment. As hydrogen production expands, captured CO2 increases through standalone and retrofit CCS, leading to net-negative emissions once sufficient capacity is in place. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of representing geological storage explicitly in whole-system planning for Great Britain under Net Zero pathways.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202622057","authors":["M.

Among various geological storage options, basalt formations offer a promising pathway due to their ability to convert CO2 into stable carbonates through mineral carbonation. This study explores the CO2 mineralization potential of the Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP) in India, one of the largest continental flood basalt provinces with an estimated CO2 storage capacity of several hundred gigatons. Despite its potential, no pilot or commercial-scale CCUS projects currently exist in the Deccan Traps. Key challenges include geographical constraints, dike-induced barriers, and limited injection depths meeting supercritical CO2 storage conditions. This research assesses the feasibility of CO2 storage by analyzing geochemical and geo-mechanical properties of basaltic minerals like calcium and magnesium silicates under varied temperature and pressure conditions. Experimental methods include rock characterization (XRD, SEM, ICP-OES), petrophysical analysis, and core flooding experiments to evaluate carbonation rates. The study aims to develop scalable storage models and monitoring frameworks, providing insights for future CCUS projects in India, thereby supporting global climate mitigation and net-zero carbon emission goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202573011","authors":["S.

Experimental evidence accumulated over the last several decades has clearly shown that climate change factors such as CO2 enrichment in the atmosphere can significantly alter plant growth [1], [2] and the availability of organic C, N and cation nutrients for microbes [3], [4], [5]. Ozone is a greenhouse gas with demonstrated inhibitory effects on plant growth and resource allocation belowground [6], [7]. Although less wellstudied, O3 is considered to have an impact on soil microbial processes [6]. Alterations in soil microbes can, in turn, profoundly influence soil C processes and the long-term potential of terrestrial ecosystems as a C sink to mitigate anthropogenic sources of atmospheric CO2. However, predicting what these changes will be is hampered by our limited understanding The current prevailing hypothesis, building on the assumption that soil microbes are generally C limited [8], predicts that elevated CO2 increases soil microbial biomass and activities due to enhanced soil C availability [9], [10], [11], whereas O3 reduces them due to lower C allocation belowground [6], [12], [13]. This broad hypothesis has been extensively tested over the past two decades for CO2 but less so with O3 [4], [10], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16]. Though C availability to microbes has been commonly reported to increase under elevated CO2 [5], [17], [18] and to decrease under elevated O3 [6], [13], [19], results of soil microbial responses to elevated CO2 and O3 have been inconsistent [6], [11], [20], [21]. In a meta-analysis study, de Graaff et al. (2006) found that elevated CO2 increased microbial biomass C and microbial respiration by 7.7% and 17.1%, respectively, across 40 studies that mainly included herbaceous species. In the meantime, Hu et al. (2006) reviewed 135 studies examining elevated CO2 effects on a suite of soil microbial parameters such as microbial biomass and respiration and found that microbial biomass C and microbial respiration increased under elevated CO2 in 19 of 40 studies and 20 of 38 studies, respectively, but remained unchanged or even decreased in the remainder. Despite considerable efforts in the past two decades, there is a lack of conceptual understanding of why and how these inconsistencies in CO2 and O3 effects on microbes occur.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/b16845-18","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2014-05-07T20:37:42Z","doi":"10.1201/b16845-18","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4324/9781003461067-2","name":"Multiple streams approach and hype cycles","source":"crossref","abstract":"This book encourages the reader to take a historical perspective on CCS in the UK.

This study examines the intricate dynamics of CCS within the Air Benakat Formation, focusing on CO 2 storage capacity, reservoir pressure build-up, and CO 2 plume migration, while considering the influence of Lorenz coefficients (Lk) characterizing reservoir permeability heterogeneity. The study reveals that Lk values play a crucial role in determining CO 2 storage capacity and safety. Lower Lk values indicate higher storage capacity due to formation homogeneity, while higher Lk values decrease injected CO 2 quantity, emphasizing the delicate balance between permeability, capacity, and safety. Additionally, Lk significantly impacts pressure profiles, with higher values leading to faster pressure buildup in high-permeability zones, influencing breakthrough pressure. A more uniform formation allowed for the safe storage of 0.347 million tons (Mt) of CO 2 at Lk = 0.2. In contrast, when Lk = 0.6, which is associated with more heterogeneity, the amount of CO 2 injected reduced to 0.333 MtCO 2 . Variations in Lk have a major effect on the pressure profile. As Lk changed from 0.2 to 0.6, the pressure fell from 89.95% to 88.13% of the maximum pressure. In high-permeability zones, higher Lk values cause pressure to build up more quickly. Furthermore, CO 2 plume migration is influenced by Lk and reservoir permeability characteristics, with higher Lk values resulting in a more dispersed and elongated plume. Over time, CO 2 saturation increases consistently, particularly in high-permeability zones.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4028/p-abtd7g","authors":["Romal Ramadhan","Muslim Abdurrahman","Agus Arsad","Veridaus Napitupulu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-12T07:27:57Z","doi":"10.4028/p-abtd7g","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"doi:10.55905/rdelosv18.n74-198","name":"Regional screening for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage in the Rio Bonito Formation, Paraná Basin","source":"crossref","abstract":"Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) technologies are crucial to achieve negative CO₂ emissions and accelerate global decarbonization.

It then examines AI methods relevant to CCTS planning, including scenario generation, geological storage surrogate modelling, physics-informed learning, data assimilation, graph-based learning and learningassisted optimization. The review identifies a central gap: AI and OR advances remain fragmented, with limited translation of AI outputs into OR-compatible scenarios, constraints, parameters, uncertainty sets and decision rules. To address this gap, the paper proposes an AI-augmented OR framework linking data and policy inputs, AI-based uncertainty modelling, storage surrogate layers, multimodal network optimization, resilience analysis and governance mechanisms. The paper concludes with a research agenda for scalable, interpretable and policy-aligned CCTS planning models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.6730319","authors":["gaetano costa"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-07T14:36:48Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.6730319","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2523/iptc-22307-ms","name":"A Toolkit for Offshore Carbon Capture and Storage CCS","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, utilization, and storage is the best option for mitigating atmospheric emissions of CO2 and thereby controlling the greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. Despite the benefits, there have been a limited number of projects solely for CO2 sequestration being implemented. The industry is well-versed in gas injection in reservoir formation for pressure maintenance and improving oil recovery. However, there are striking differences between the injection of CO2 into depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and the engineered storage of CO2. The differences and challenges are compounded when the storage site is karstified carbonate in offshore and bulk storage volume. It is paramount to know upfront that CO2 can be stored at a potential storage site and demonstrate that the site can meet required storage performance safety criteria. Comprehensive screening for site selection has been carried out for suitable CO2 storage sites in offshore Sarawak, Malaysia using geographical, geological, geophysical, geomechanical and reservoir engineering data and techniques for evaluating storage volume, container architecture, pressure, and temperature conditions. The site-specific input data are integrated into static and dynamic models for characterization and generating performance scenarios of the site. In addition, the geochemical interaction of CO2 with reservoir rock has been studied to understand possible changes that may occur during/after injection and their impact on injection processes/mechanisms. Novel 3-way coupled modelling of dynamic-geochemistry-geomechanics processes were carried out to study long-term dynamic behaviour and fate of CO2 in the formation. The 3-way coupled modelling helped to understand the likely state of injectant in future and the storage mechanism, i.e., structural, solubility, residual, and mineralized trapping. It also provided realistic storage capacity estimation, incorporating reservoir compaction and porosity/permeability changes. The study indicates deficient localized plastic shear strain in overburden flank fault whilst all the other flaws remained stable. The potential threat of leakage is minimal as target injection pressure is set at initial reservoir pressure, which is much lower than caprock breaching pressure during injection. Furthermore, it was found that the geochemical reaction impact is shallow and localized at the top of the reservoir, making the storage safe in the long term. The integrity of existing wells was evaluated for potential leakage and planned for a proper mitigation plan. Comprehensive measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) were also designed using state-of-art tools and dynamic simulation results. The understanding gaps are closed with additional technical work to improve technologies application and decrease the uncertainties. A comprehensive study for offshore CO2 storage projects identifying critical impacting elements is crucial for estimation, injection, containment, and monitoring CO2 plume. The information and workflow may be adopted to evaluate other CO2 projects in both carbonate and clastic reservoirs for long-term problem-free storage of greenhouse gas worldwide.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2523/iptc-22307-ms","authors":["Raj Deo Tewari","Chee Phuat Tan","M.

Humans could potentially be exposed during any stage of capture, transport, or storage. The chemical and physical properties of CO2 lead to concerns not only about a catastrophic release, but also about the potential consequences of slow releases. CO2 is particularly hazardous because it is colorless and odorless. Although CO2 is a seemingly simple chemical with simple dose-response relationships, it's not. Concentration and duration of exposure, environmental conditions (including factors such as temperature, wind speed, and typography), as well as individual characteristics affect the responses observed. Under most ambient conditions, CO2 emitted from a source diffuses within minutes to near-background concentrations in the atmosphere. However, at room temperature (20° C) CO2 is about 50% denser than air, so accumulation of CO2 to levels thousands of times higher than atmospheric background could occur in both confined spaces and more open areas under stable atmospheric conditions. The classic health risk assessment approach is used to identify and quantify hazardous exposures, and to highlight populations that are more sensitive to the effects of CO2 and that may be adversely affected at lower concentrations than occupational standards.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/00001648-200611001-01132","authors":["K Ebi","S Rice"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2006-10-30T08:01:01Z","doi":"10.1097/00001648-200611001-01132","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4043/36351-ms","name":"Value of Rock Mechanical Core Tests and Geomechanics for Carbon Capture and Storage Projects","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract The world is facing increasingly challenging climate targets. As such, the focus on carbon capture and storage (CCS) is gathering momentum. These CCS technologies offer a means of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by injecting it into geological formations. However, the process is complicated by several geomechanical risks such as caprock integrity, fault reactivation, compaction, subsidence, and well integrity. Assessing these risks requires laboratory measurements of rock mechanical properties and concurrent evaluations of the impacts on the storage factor. Top seal geomechanical properties must be defined to model the safe maximum injection pressure that will prevent fracturing of the seal. Various intervals within the caprock should be selected and cored to assess and quantify lateral and vertical heterogeneity. Several laboratory rock mechanical tests should be performed to evaluate the integrity of the caprock and storage layers. The following are some of the key tests: Single Stage Triaxial tests (pre-CO2 exposure) at various confining pressures. Compressive tests (post-CO2 exposure) at specific confining pressures after 0, 30, and 60 days of CO2 exposure. Brazilian Tensile Strength tests. Thermal Expansion tests (expansion coefficient). Uniaxial Pore Volume Compressibility (UPVC) tests. The desired output and the application of the respective rock mechanical tests for the evaluation of caprock integrity are presented in this paper: Single Stage/Multi-Stage Triaxial tests (pre-CO2 exposure) at multiple confining pressures – Desired output includes dynamic properties, static Poisson's Ratio, static Young's Modulus, Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS), Coefficient of Internal Friction (IF), and definition of the failure envelope. Application – Caprock Integrity, Fault Stability analysis. Compressive tests (post-CO2 exposure) at specific confining pressures under 0, 30, and 60 days of CO2 exposure – To investigate rock strength and elastic property changes with exposure to CO2. Application – Caprock Integrity. Brazilian Tensile Strength tests – Tensile strength of the rock. Application – Caprock Integrity Thermal Expansion tests (expansion coefficient) – Changes in the stresses due to thermal effects. Application – Caprock Integrity. All the above recommended tests should be carried out in the storage layers as well as in the caprock. However, it is also recommended to carry out specific rock compressibility tests in the storage layers to investigate the reduction in pore volume, porosity and permeability as a function of reservoir pressure changes. Uniaxial Pore Volume Compressibility (UPVC) tests – Determine the grain, bulk, and pore compressibility, Biot Coefficient for reservoir compaction failure. Application – Compaction, Subsidence and Well Integrity. This paper presents a workflow for comprehensive geomechanical characterization using such fit-for-purpose rock mechanical tests from a carbon storage project. The workflow and data display a systematic approach that generates a field-wide understanding of the rocks’ responses to CO2 injection.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4043/36351-ms","authors":["A.

However, controlling the microstructure with high porosity is not easy, if possible, through a complex and time-consuming synthesis method. Herein, the development of high surface area nanoporous activated carbon fiber by activating spider silk (natural biomaterials) using potassium hydroxide is being reported. The specific surface area (SSA) and total pore volume for the developed material were 2,730 m2/g and 1.56 cc/g and its surface contained high oxygen content. Its high SSA with rich oxygen content can provide an enhanced CO2 capture and energy carrier (H2 and CH4) storage capacity. The CO2 capture capacity at 0 °C and 25 °C, 25 bar, was estimated to be 23.6 and 15.4 mmol/g, respectively, one of the highest reported values for porous carbon fiber. Moreover, the developed sample has shown the CH4 storage capacity of 8.6 mmol/g at 0 °C, 25 bar, and for H2 it was 4.1 wt.% at -196 °C, 25 bar. In addition, the developed carbon materials demonstrated an easy regeneration and almost negligible loss in uptake capacity, confirmed by adsorption-desorption cycles. The above observation of high porosity and promising gas storage and recyclability in spider silk-derived activated carbon fibers indicates that the employed method can effectively convert biomaterials into high surface area activated carbon fibers for advanced energy and environmental applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4245634","authors":["Raeesh Muhammad","Yoon-Chae Nah","Hyunchul Oh"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-10-13T16:43:34Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4245634","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.5404995","name":"Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Co2 Utilization for Enhanced Recovery and Carbon Storage in Shale Gas","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5404995","authors":["Can Huang","Aiwei Zheng","Xiaolong Chai","Li Liu","Qian Zhang","Yuling Jiang","Shuang Liu","Yimin Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-25T19:41:32Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.5404995","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2307/jj.41003757.24","name":"Carbon Capture and Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2307/jj.41003757.24","authors":["Peter Viebahn","Manfred Fischedick","Daniel Vallentin"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-27T20:22:03Z","doi":"10.2307/jj.41003757.24","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5006/c2013-02133","name":"Internal Corrosion of CO2 Pipelines for Carbon Capture and Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Capturing and storage of anthropogenic CO2 requires the transport of CO2 with varying combinations of impurities depending on the capture technology and source.

This paper aims to examine the barriers to CCUS implementation in Nigeria by investigating the differences between global CCUS and Nigerian status, evaluating the perspectives of industry and government practitioners on the economic barriers to CCUS implementation, and identifying policy and industry strategies to deepen the adoption of CCUS. Study participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique to explore the opinions of personnel working in three oil-related agencies: Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Ministry of Petroleum Resources and Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas. Information collected from existing literature and related reports on CCUS were critically analysed, whereas data from semi-structured interviews were generated by audio-recording of participants’ responses. These responses were transcribed from audio recordings for each participant and quality controlled by ensuring that transcripts matched the respective responses. Transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis, exploring the research theme using both theory and practice. The theoretical framework utilised PESTEL and SWOT analyses to evaluate the macro environment and the internal and external environment of CCUS implementation in Nigeria. PESTEL analysis showed that CCUS implementation in Nigeria is driven by various regulatory and policy frameworks, lack of adequate capital, public acceptance and infrastructure. Similarly, the SWOT analysis showed that Nigeria has enough coal reserves that could serve as a potential for CCUS implementation. However, Nigeria’s weaknesses include lack of expertise in CCUS technology, inadequate capital for CCUS investment and policy summersaults by successive governments. Nigeria should thus consider the introduction of subsidies to mitigate various barriers and challenges that hinder CCUS implementation, e.g., low tax rate for enterprises involved in CCUS implementation. There is also urgent need to improve funding of CCUS implementation through foreign direct investment or by the equity market. Furthermore, the importance for an enhanced technology to deepen the adoption of CCUS in Nigeria can not be overemphasized as the world moves towards decarbonisation and Net Zero.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2523/iptc-22387-ms","authors":["Adedola Betiku","Bassey Okon Bassey"],"tags":["SWOT analysis","Thematic analysis","Government (linguistics)","Business","Nonprobability sampling"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-02-20","doi":"10.2523/iptc-22387-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.egypro.2009.02.044","name":"Carbon capture and storage in South Africa","source":"crossref","abstract":"A coal based energy economy and an increasing coal based energy infra-structure bestows on South Africa a high per capita carbon dioxide emission rate. With few other economically exploitable energy resources, and in common with similarly placed countries, such emissions are likely to continue, even in spite of renewable energy programmes and energy efficiency measures. Consequently, South Africa is investigating the use of carbon capture and storage as a green-house gas emission mitigation measure. It has been shown that of the more than 400 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emitted per year, approximately 60% is sequestratable —that is, point sources and capturable. Of that, nearly 30 million tonnes per year of ∼95% pure carbon dioxide is emitted by the synthetic fuel industry. It is therefore likely that any envisaged carbon capture and storage project in South Africa is most likely to make use of the almos t pure carbon dioxide stream emanating from the synthetic fuel plants—the capture element that comprises approximately half the cost having already been done. Preliminary studies and the subject of this paper have indicated that at least 100 gigatonnes of geological storage could be available—more than four times the capacity required to store 240 million tonnes per year for 100 years. Most of that pertains to deep saline aquifers, with some extra prospects of depleted gas fields and enhanced coal-bed methane recovery. Potential storage sites and their characterisation will be addressed in the form of a carbon geological storage atlas that is scheduled for completion by the end of 2009. Following that, it is contemplated that a small-scale demonstration project [say 10,000 tonnes per year] may be undertaken in order for local scientists and engineers to obtain first hand experience in this technology and to prove-up local geological formations. In order to develop capacity, both human and technical, is this relative new field, a Centre for Carbon Capture and Storage is to be established in the South Africa National Energy Research Institute.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2009.02.044","authors":["A.D.

This approach enables direct visualization of pore-scale and chip-scale hydrate formation dynamics across thousands of pores, offering critical insights into large-scale submarine CO 2 storage processes. We systematically assess the effects of injection rate, temperature (1.1–9.4 °C), and pressure (6.9–13.8 MPa) on hydrate formation kinetics. CO 2 injection reduces spatial stochasticity, with nucleation occurring primarily near the injection zone due to localized subcooling. Hydrate propagation follows a cascade mechanism over a broad saturation range (9–94%). Two key parameters—induction time and propagation velocity—are identified: induction time decreases with higher injection rates, while propagation velocity remains stable. Propagation velocity follows a power-law dependence on subcooling (exponent=2) but is diminished in porous media due to the effects of tortuosity and CO 2 saturation degree. Pressure variations have minimal influence on hydrate growth, confirming that subcooling is the dominant factor controlling hydrate formation kinetics.

This review presents Engineered Soil Carbon Systems (ESCS), an emerging interdisciplinary approach combining enhanced rock weathering, engineered biological systems, advanced carbon-stabilizing materials, and digital monitoring technologies to strengthen terrestrial carbon capture and storage. Passive soil carbon sequestration remains constrained by finite mineral surface saturation, microbial priming, and the temporal instability of organic carbon pools. ESCS applies enhanced rock weathering using reactive silicate minerals such as basalt, olivine, and wollastonite to accelerate mineral dissolution, producing pedogenic carbonates and mineral-associated organic carbon that persist over long timescales. Alongside this, engineered biological approaches, including synthetic microbial consortia and CRISPR-based metabolic engineering, raise the rate of atmospheric CO₂ fixation and redirect carbon towards more stable biomass and soil carbon pools, while engineered nanomaterials and mineral-biochar composites further slow the breakdown of stored carbon. These advances are supported by IoT-enabled sensors, hyperspectral remote sensing, and machine learning, which allow soil carbon changes to be tracked and verified with greater accuracy, forming the basis for reliable monitoring, reporting, and verification.

However, this review demonstrates that oil recovery and CO 2 storage are not inherently synergistic but exhibit a duality shaped by operational design, reservoir heterogeneity, and economic drivers. Three specific mechanisms create conflicts between these objectives: (1) water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection—while improving sweep efficiency—can displace previously stored CO 2 , with coreflooding experiments showing a 13.4% decline in retained CO 2 compared to continuous injection; (2) geological heterogeneity, particularly fracture networks and high-permeability streaks, causes CO 2 channeling that bypasses oil-rich zones, reducing both recovery and storage by 25%–40%; and (3) economic incentives prioritizing oil production over sequestration lead to a 3:1 trade-off ratio—nearly three units of storage lost for each additional unit of oil gained under high oil prices. To address these conflicts, we synthesize advances in machine-learning-assisted optimization (e.g., graph network surrogate models (GNSM) achieving 120× speedup), conformance control using CO 2 -responsive gels and ionic liquids (plugging efficiency >95%), and advanced injection fluids such as formate-alternating-gas (FAG) that simultaneously increase recovery by 19.5% and storage by 17.9%. Life cycle assessment (LCA) confirms that properly designed CO 2 -EOR can achieve net carbon negativity when system boundaries include produced oil combustion, but this conclusion is boundary-dependent. We further synthesize these findings into a decision framework that classifies CCUS-EOR projects into high-synergy, forced trade-off, and incompatible zones based on reservoir-engineering challenges and carbon policy strength. We conclude that without actively managing these conflicts through advanced engineering and policy interventions, CO 2 -EOR risks functioning primarily as a production technology with incidental storage rather than a genuine carbon management strategy. Priority research directions include multi-scale coupled modeling for long-term storage security, real-time monitoring in extreme environments (offshore and deep high-pressure reservoirs), and integration of technical optimization with carbon pricing and regulatory frameworks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.petsci.2026.07.047","authors":["Jia-Xin Wang","Li-Jun Mi","Ren-Feng Yang","Li-Jun Zhang","Jia-Chao Ge","Xiao-Han Shu","Si-Tong Wu","Bo-Rui Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-30T06:52:47Z","doi":"10.1016/j.petsci.2026.07.047","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-443-24042-3.00015-1","name":"Preface","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-443-24042-3.00015-1","authors":["Sohrab Zendehboudi","Bahram Ghorbani"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-07T09:56:23Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-443-24042-3.00015-1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-21444-8_8","name":"Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Gas Storage and Utilization","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-21444-8_8","authors":["Huma Shaikh","Shahnila Shah","Syed Shujaat Karim","Mohammad Younas","Syed Awais Ali","Sarah Farrukh","Mansoor Ul Hassan Shah","Syed Nasir Shah"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-02-13T21:45:59Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-21444-8_8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100537","name":"Energy-coupled CO2 capture–conversion via membrane–adsorption integration: Quantitative benchmarks and pilot-scale design","source":"crossref","abstract":"This review advances a unified framework for engineering low-energy, high-efficiency CO 2 capture–conversion platforms by co-designing membranes, adsorbents, and multi-field catalytic modules.

Using Japan as a case study nation, this research proposes a linear optimization modeling approach to identify the potential contributions of renewables and CCS toward maximizing carbon reduction and identifying their economic merits over time. Results identify that the combination of these three technologies could enable a carbon dioxide emission reduction of between 55 and 67 percent in the energy sector by 2050 depending on resilience levels and CCS deployment regimes. Further reductions are likely to emerge with increased carbon pricing over time. The findings provide insights for energy system design, energy policy making and investment in carbon reducing technologies which underpin significant carbon reductions, while identifying potential regional social co-benefits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su151813447","authors":["Dinh Hoa Nguyen","Andrew Chapman","Takeshi Tsuji","Đình Hòa Nguyễn"],"tags":["Software deployment","Renewable energy","Environmental economics","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Carbon neutrality"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-09-07","doi":"10.3390/su151813447","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ijggc.2010.06.002","name":"Large-scale utilization of biomass energy and carbon dioxide capture and storage in the transport and electricity sectors under stringent CO2 concentration limit scenarios","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2010.06.002","authors":["P.

Rich in proteins, essential amino acids, bioactive compounds, and functional lipids, DAC has demonstrated positive effects on fish growth, feed efficiency, and immune responses when incorporated at optimal levels.

The economic viability of DAC is influenced by its cost relative to traditional feed ingredients, advancements in processing, improved digestibility for fish, and integration within circular bioeconomy models. Additionally, its use in aquaculture contributes to sustainability by reducing reliance on overexploited marine resources and mitigating environmental impacts associated with fishmeal and soybean meal production.

However, the long-term cumulative effects of urbanization, destinations of building materials at end-of-life, CO 2 uptake from cement carbonation, and biogenic sequestration from biomass regrowth on their climate change impacts remain unclear. Here, we assess the climate change impacts of these dynamic factors on future urban buildings for urban growth between 2025 and 2100, using dynamic life cycle assessment across 14 pathways under various short- and long-term scenarios. Construction of urban buildings using timber ('timber cities') can lead to a global temperature increase that is up to 0.023 K lower by 2100 than that caused by their construction using reinforced concrete ('reinforced concrete cities'). After 2100, timber cities can lead to a temperature increase similar to or higher than reinforced concrete cities if there is poor forest regrowth, high landfill gas release, and incineration. If timber recycling leads to forest aging or deforestation due to reduced motivation for forest regrowth, global temperature can significantly rise compared to a scenario in which timber is recycled while simultaneously maintaining the forest carbon sink, which is the most climate-friendly option. Important global actions to minimize the climate impacts of future cities are (1) to support rapid and large-scale implementation of timber buildings in response to current high urbanization; (2) to proactively develop land, forest, and waste policies that limit future temperature increases caused by poor forest regrowth, landfill gas release, and wood incineration; and (3) to adopt dynamic life cycle assessment and related indicators such as absolute global warming potential in the built environment for climate-related policymaking, rather than using only global warming potential.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5c12250","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1021/acs.est.5c12250","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.286Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.141Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-025-28731-x","name":"Assessment of CO₂ sequestration potential in the Abu Sannan oil field for sustainable energy and environment using seismic modeling, Western Desert, Egypt.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Global efforts to mitigate climate change have highlighted Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as a practical solution for reducing atmospheric CO₂, with depleted oil and gas reservoirs (DOGR) being particularly attractive due to their well-characterized structures, proven sealing capacity, and existing infrastructure.

High-carbon bio-organic fertilizers, which contain more than 40% organic matter, are used to improve soil fertility, but their effects on soil aggregate stability, organic carbon fractions, and bacterial communities, and the consequent impacts on soil carbon storage, are not well understood. Methods This study employed a field experiment with four treatments: chemical fertilizer alone (control, CK), organic fertilizer (OF), bio-organic fertilizer (BOF), and high-carbon bio-organic fertilizer (HBOF). Results The results showed that organic fertilizer treatments significantly increased organic carbon content across all aggregate size classes, promoted the formation of large aggregates, and improved aggregate stability compared with the CK treatment. The HBOF treatment increased the proportion of soil aggregates larger than 2 mm by 8.58% and 6.87% compared with the OF and BOF treatments, respectively. All organic fertilizers boosted soil carbon storage and active carbon fractions, particularly particulate organic carbon (POC). Under HBOF, POC and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) in active carbon fractions increased by 15.83% and 24.05%, respectively, compared to BOF. The HBOF treatment reduced bacterial diversity but markedly altered community composition, enriching genera such as Pantoea and Bacillus that were associated with variation in carbon fractions and aggregate properties.

Using a microscopic visualization method, many experimental results have been obtained under different displacement patterns, including qualitative results of the displacement process, interface changes, and phase distributions and quantitative results of differential pressure, CO 2 relative permeability, fractal dimension, and CO 2 saturation. The results indicated that the maximum CO 2 saturation, relative permeability, and fractal dimension were achieved when the displacement pattern was viscous fingering with CO 2 predominantly existing in the micromodel as the main displacing channel. On the contrary, when the displacement pattern was capillary fingering, CO 2 clusters showed the characteristics of large numbers and small areas, which led to the minimum CO 2 saturation, relative permeability, and fractal dimension. Due to the simultaneous dominance of viscous and capillary forces, the flow characteristics under crossover fell between viscous fingering and capillary fingering, rendering them more complex. The phase states of CO 2 and water exerted a profound influence on the differential pressure and displacement processes, primarily driven by the viscosity ratio at varying temperatures and pressures.

Steel byproduct gases (e.g., converter gas) have complex composition, and traditional combustion results in high emissions. In this context, the proposed low concentration CO 2 (LCC) system demonstrates dual advantages: (1) enhancing the calorific value of the byproduct gas to meet the demands of high-energy steelmaking processes and (2) achieving the recovery of high-purity CO 2 postcombustion, thereby facilitating the carbon neutrality pathway with minimized separation energy consumption. However, components such as CO and N 2 in the gas lead to competitive adsorption, low catalytic selectivity, and complex reaction pathways, necessitating breakthroughs in catalytic mechanisms and process innovation.This Account based on the research accumulation of the authors' team in the field of CO 2 catalytic reduction and iron and steel metallurgy systematically reviews the key scientific issues and technological advancements in the catalytic conversion of LCC, using converter gas as a typical case.

Second, in terms of activation and reaction pathway regulation, the influence patterns of gases such as CO and N 2 on the CO 2 reduction reaction are analyzed.

Among the various carbon utilization pathways, the electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reduction reaction (CO 2 R) presents a compelling approach, enabling the direct conversion of CO 2 and water into valuable fuels and chemical feedstocks using renewable electricity. While recent breakthroughs in mechanistic insights, catalyst materials, and reactor designs have been achieved, significant challenges remain in translating promising lab-scale results into techno-economically viable technologies. Key challenges hindering this transition include (1) a lack of rational screening and scalable fabrication methods for high-performance electrocatalysts and corresponding electrode assemblies; (2) a shortage of understanding how the transport phenomena within the electrodes and electrolyzers affect the microenvironment of reactions; and (3) a deficiency in designing principles for electrolyzers and stacks capable of large-scale production.

Herein we highlight five most important ones among such challenges. Optimal energy transition pathway. There is more than one pathway to achieving a net-zero-emission energy system. Each pathway features its own emission peaking amount, pace of emission reduction after carbon peak, and most importantly the final energy mix in a carbon constrained world. Interestingly, such an energy mix varies a lot among different studies. Taking coal consumption for net-zero power generation as an example, this ranges from 0.1 Gton to 1 Gton, which presents huge uncertainty for related capacity planning and decision making. In the real world, it is hard to judge which pathway is better because the energy system is a complex system involving different aspects of the economy, society, resources, technology, etc. How to evaluate the multidimensional impact and feasibility of different energy transition pathways constitutes the very first open question, requiring shared wisdom from academia, industry and government together. Decarbonization versus Defossilisation. When it comes to the decarbonization of the energy system, fossil fuel remains the elephant in the room. Burning or refining fossil fuel, including coal, oil and gas, for fuel and chemicals still accounts for the bulk of China's energy landscape. There is no doubt that unabated fossil fuel use has no room in a carbon neutral energy system, yet when and how this use can be phased out remains unclear. More fundamentally, do we need decarbonization or defossilization? Fully divorcing from fossil fuel seems impossible as long as we still need carbon-based polymers and chemicals for our basic needs; in this sense, material use of fossil fuels will definitely stay. Even though several studies have proposed a 100% renewable energy system, criticisms about such a pathway are also evident. To better understand this debate, further research is needed. Green premium. Green premium is the term that Bill Gates used to describe the additional cost of a low-carbon product or service over its counterpart that emits more carbon. Behind such a green premium is the fact that current renewable-based electricity, heat and fuel production routes have no cost advantage compared to their fossil competitors. While technological innovation and the learning effect could bring down the cost of emerging green technologies (the cost evolution of solar photovoltaics is a well-known example of this), the urgency for climate action requires the future acceleration of such innovations. In the end, pricing carbon will unavoidably reallocate the cost and benefits among government, companies and consumers. To design an efficient system for such economic needs will require novel interventions. Hydrogen economy. Hydrogen, together with its derivates such as ammonia and methanol, has attracted a lot of attention during the current energy transition. But hydrogen is nothing new to the energy community. More than 30 million tons of hydrogen were produced in China in 2023, mainly for the chemical industry. The production of this hydrogen is mainly via coal gasification, which is assigned the color grey for its high carbon intensity. Production of green hydrogen through green electricity offers a promising route for variable renewable energy accommodation, using hydrogen for multiple end users. Yet the success of the hydrogen economy relies on there being a localized, stable supply and demand all year round. With regard to storage and transportation, more concerns have to be addressed. Carbon capture, utilization and storage. Carbon capture, utilization and storage, known as CCUS, refers to the integrated process of CO2 capture, transport, utilization and storage to prevent CO2 release into the atmosphere. The role of CCUS in a future net-zero-emission energy system is two-sided: on the one hand, it could have a unique role in reducing the carbon intensity of fossil-fuel-fired power and industrial systems; on the other hand, it must be noted that the rhetoric on CCUS has not been turned into a reality so far. Even though most CCUS technologies have already reached a commercial level, upscaling of CCUS from megaton to gigaton to produce material climate change mitigation effects still lacks enough incentive. Setting up the required storage potential, raising the required investment and laying out a source-sink matching infrastructure would accelerate such CCUS industrial applications and increase our understanding of CCUS as a major climate mitigation option. To conclude, achieving China's carbon neutrality without a fundamental transition of energy system seems inconceivable. Yet the question of how to transform the world’s most complicated energy system into a reliable, efficient and clean one has not been answered yet, and more discussions on such topics are called for.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/nsr/nwaf035","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1093/nsr/nwaf035","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.287Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41467-025-57559-2","name":"Repositioning coal power to accelerate net-zero transition of China's power system.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Countries are urged to advance the energy transition in a just, orderly, and equitable manner, yet the appropriate pathway remains unclear.

First, when achieving the same emissions reduction target, it mitigates stranded assets by decreasing the average lifespan loss of coal power by 7.9-9.6 years and enhancing the long-term competitiveness of retrofitted coal power. Second, it enables the integration of an additional 194-245 gigawatts of variable renewables by 2030 under the same carbon emissions reduction trajectory.

The proposed system, comprising a 15 kW photovoltaic array, 50 kWh second-life lithium-ion battery storage, and dual 22 kW AC chargers, is modeled using HOMER Pro for system optimization and MATLAB Simulink for dynamic and thermal performance analysis. Simulation results demonstrate a 40% reduction in the Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS) compared to equivalent systems using new batteries, achieving an average renewable energy self-sufficiency ratio of 78%. The system offsets approximately 90-120 kWh/day of grid electricity, corresponding to an annual reduction of about 1.2 tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions per charging station, as confirmed through Monte Carlo-based lifecycle assessment. Experimental validation of repurposed CALB battery modules indicates stable degradation behavior, with only 3-4% capacity loss after 100 charge-discharge cycles, confirming their suitability for stationary applications. Sensitivity analysis further identifies battery State of Health and seasonal solar variability as critical factors influencing system reliability. Overall, the results establish SLB-PV hybrid charging stations as a technically robust, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable solution for advancing clean e-mobility and circular energy infrastructure in tropical regions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-39034-0","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-39034-0","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.287Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.648Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-025-24301-3","name":"Analyzing and predicting the effects of urban spatial planning on the gradient differentiation of production-living-ecological land and carbon storage.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Carbon storage (CS) of terrestrial ecosystems is strongly associated with space utilization changes. However, effects of urban spatial planning on the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of production-living-ecological land (PLEL) and CS remain unclear. To bridge this gap, we developed a new PGIP framework that combines PLEL theory, gradient analysis, the InVEST model, and the PLUS model. This integrated approach offers a comprehensive tool for assessing and simulating how urban planning influences CS. We applied this framework in Jinan, China, where we defined four urban gradient zones to examine the gradient differentiation of PLEL and CS. By integrating dynamic driving factors and urban spatial planning, the PLEL and CS in 2030 were simulated under different scenarios. Results revealed significant gradient-based variations in PLEL between 1980 and 2020. The urban living land (ULL) within 10 km of the city center increased by 117.60%. The CS has decreased by 8.14 × 10⁶ t, and the spatial heterogeneity of CS in the southeastern gradient zone was the strongest. More than 50% of the rise in CS resulted from the shift of rural living land to cultivated production land (CPL), while over 41% of the decrease in CS was caused by the conversion of CPL to ULL. By 2030, urban spatial planning is projected to significantly affect CS pattern, especially in downtown, far suburban, and southeastern gradient zone. Compared with unconstrained development scenario, under spatial planning-guided scenario, high-value clusters of CS will increase by 14.86 km 2 , while low-value clusters will decrease by 3.99 km 2 . This study provides a spatially explicit, policy-relevant framework for understanding and planning CS across urban-rural gradients, integrating planning scenarios and mechanistic insights to support low-carbon land use strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-24301-3","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-24301-3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.287Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.739Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ese.2025.100636","name":"The 2024 report of the synergetic roadmap on carbon neutrality and clean air for China: Pollution and carbon reduction promote green economic development.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Addressing climate change and air pollution exhibits strong synergy, and the Chinese government is actively promoting the integrated management of these two issues.

China's 2060 carbon neutrality goal is supported by a growing suite of detailed energy and climate policies, yet whether near-term actions are already on a pathway that converges with that target remains uncertain. Here, we evaluate how sectoral policy measures adopted between 2019 and 2024, and their plausible near-term extensions, shape China's decarbonization trajectory using a policy-informed integrated assessment model with provincial detail. Our results show that, compared to Current policy, national CO 2 emission intensity falls by 12% to 0.35 kgCO 2 per 2020USD and the nonfossil share of primary energy increases from 33% to 44% by 2035 under Continued policy strengthening. Most near-term reductions are driven by solar and wind expansion as well as industrial and building efficiency gains. However, sustaining such momentum exposes regional disparities: in several western provinces, annual power sector investment requirements are comparable to more than 5% of 2023 provincial GDP.

We assessed predictive importance of functional and phylogenetic diversity indices on AGB across tree layers by using partial least squares (PLS) regression. Overstory exhibited greater AGB with tree species showing higher community-weighted means of resource-acquisitive traits (e.g., specific leaf area), as well as higher phylogenetic diversity. The understory AGB was mainly enhanced by conservative strategies (e.g., lower specific leaf area) as well as mean nearest taxon distance; and it was also increased by higher phylogenetic species richness and functional richness. Our results highlight the role of functional identity in regulating AGB. Notably, contrary to the results in previous Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function (BEF) studies where the influence of functional diversity was greater than phylogenetic diversity, we found that phylogenetic diversity is more capable of explaining the accumulation of AGB than functional diversity across tree strata.

The effects of different water-solid ratios, pressures, and rotational speed conditions on the mineralization of CS were analyzed. The results showed that the CO 2 storage of carbide slag was positively correlated with pressure, and the carbonation efficiency was negatively correlated with pressure. With the increase of rotational speed, the amount of CO 2 trapped by solid waste increases first and then tends to be flat (the increase of the CO 2 trapped amount is small when the rotational speed is higher than 900 rpm). The amount of CO 2 trapped in the solid waste was positively correlated with the water-solid ratio. Scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) was used to analyze the microstructure changes of solid waste and mineralized samples. It was found that the particle morphology before and after mineralization produced many irregular calcium carbonate particles, and ESD results exhibited that the carbon content increased significantly.

The taxonomic affiliations of iron metabolism-related genes in the oxic estuary were homogeneous with depth, dominated by Proteobacteria and Thermodesulfobacteriota. In contrast, the hypoxic estuary exhibited strong stratification, with the surface enriched in Proteobacteria and deeper horizons dominated by Chloroflexota and Candidatus Bathyarchaeota. The surface sediments of the hypoxic estuary at 0-8 centimeters below the seafloor showed a hotspot with co-enrichment of dissimilatory iron reduction (e.g., mtrABC ) and iron oxidation genes (e.g., mtoA ) relative to both deeper layers in the same estuary and the oxic estuary, consistent with elevated genetic potential for Fe redox turnover. This hotspot also harbored high-affinity Fe acquisition systems (siderophores, inorganic Fe transporters, and heme uptake), suggesting the potential for microbial competition for iron. Co-occurrence networks connecting Fe metabolism with carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus cycling were more complex in the hypoxic estuary than in the oxic estuary, revealing strong associations between Fe acquisition/redox cycling and organic matter turnover.

Transcriptomic analysis revealed a significant transcriptional divergence between the varieties, with the number of differentially expressed genes increasing from 3697 at early stage to 6866 at the maturity stage. Weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) identified distinct genetic modules: lipid accumulation was strongly associated to the turquoise and black modules, containing hub genes like WRI1 , DGAT4 , and PDAT1 . In contrast, sugar content was associated with the brown, red, and yellow modules, which were enriched in genes involved in sucrose and raffinose biosynthesis. Lipidomic and sugar profiling confirmed that CY1016 favors carbon flux toward triacylglycerol synthesis, whereas JT prioritizes the accumulation of sucrose and raffinose family oligosaccharides.

Reservoir wettability significantly impacts these processes, yet carbonate formations frequently become oil-wet due to organic acid adsorption from crude oil, hindering recovery. While CO 2 injection can alter wettability towards a more favorable water-wet state, the underlying molecular mechanisms involving CO 2 , adsorbed organic acids, and the calcite surface are not fully understood. This study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to elucidate these mechanisms, using decane as the main oil component and butyric acid as a model acidic component. Results demonstrate that, even though no chemical reaction is considered in this study, CO 2 significantly enhances the hydrophilicity of the calcite surface originally rendered partially lipophilic by butyric acid adsorption. Furthermore, the influence of CO 2 concentration on the water contact angle was quantitatively evaluated. The water droplet contact angle was 0° for the water-oil-calcite system in the absence of acid molecule but increased to ∼29° by including the butyric acid in the oil phase. The addition of CO 2 reduced the contact angle back to ∼8°, restoring hydrophilicity. This wettability shift is attributed to a competitive adsorption mechanism where sufficient concentrations of CO 2 displace butyric acid from the calcite surface. This displacement is facilitated by the formation of hydrogen bonds between CO 2 molecules and the carboxyl groups of the butyric acid, disrupting the acid's interaction with the calcite surface. By clarifying this interplay among CO 2 , acidic components, and the calcite surface, this work provides fundamental, molecular-scale insights into interfacial phenomena.

This study investigates the CO 2 adsorption characteristics of three different coal samples across various particle sizes, as determined through CO 2 isothermal adsorption experiments. We employed four machine learning models─XGBoost, SVM, LSTM, and CNN─trained and validated using two data preprocessing methods: sequential sorting and random sorting. A CO 2 adsorption capacity prediction model was established, with coal particle size as the input variable. The findings indicate that the model trained with randomly sorted data demonstrates significantly better prediction accuracy on the test set compared to the model trained with sequentially sorted data, with an average R 2 improvement of approximately 0.1. This indicates that randomizing the data effectively eliminates potential dependencies on time or particle size sequences, facilitating the model to grasp broader adsorption patterns and evade overfitting. Additionally, the absolute and square error indices show marked differences under different ranking methods for the same model, emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate models based on specific circumstances. Through analyses using Taylor diagrams and the TOPSIS method, it was found that the random ranking model outperforms the sequential ranking model. The SVM model performs best in the Taylor diagram analysis, while the CNN model achieves the highest comprehensive evaluation in the TOPSIS method.

For Korea–one of the world’s largest emitters of CO2–the central challenge is not only to meet its 2030 nationally determined contribution (NDC), but to define a credible and substantially more ambitious pathway for 2035. In this study, we employ an integrated assessment model to project Korea’s greenhouse-gas emissions trajectory under current policy frameworks, based on the First National Framework Plan for Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth, the Eleventh Basic Plan for Long-term Electricity Supply and Demand, and other officially announced sectoral policies across the economy. We further construct an enhanced policy scenario that reflects highly ambitious yet technically viable and institutionally grounded measures across all major sectors. Our results show that current policies reduce emissions by 35% below net 2018 levels by 2035 (30–41%), even falling short of the 2030 NDC. By contrast, the enhanced scenario achieves a 59% reduction (55–64%) without reliance on international offsets. This deeper reduction is driven by an accelerated coal phase-out, rapid deployment of offshore wind, tighter constraints on lifetime extensions of blast furnace capacity, a ban on new internal combustion engine vehicle sales by 2040, and the gradual replacement of fossil-based heating with heat pumps. These findings provide system-wide evidence that a more ambitious 2035 pathway is feasible when existing policy and institutional constraints are explicitly accounted for, contributing to ongoing discussions on Korea’s post-2030 mitigation strategy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-44130-2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-44130-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.287Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.biortech.2025.132315","name":"Enhanced carbon capture and utilization in transgenic Chlorella sorokiniana harboring pyridoxal kinase under dynamic carbon dioxide levels.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Microalgae are crucial in carbon capture, utilization, and storage due to the efficient CO 2 assimilation through photosynthesis and potential for high-value biochemical production.

This region harbors several types of subtropical forests, which are rarely found at similar latitudes in the world. Variance inflation factor was employed to screen independent variables, resulting in the selection of 13 significant predictors. Four machine learning models—support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), multi‐layer perceptron (MLP), and extreme gradient boosting (XGB)—were constructed to estimate carbon storage. Model performance was evaluated using root mean square error, coefficient of determination (R2), and mean absolute error. The model with the best generalization ability was selected to calculate SHAP values for each predictor. The XGB model demonstrated superior performance across all forest types, with R2 values ranging from 0.898 to 0.974. In mountainous evergreen broad‐leaved forests, the prediction accuracy followed the order of XGB>MLP>SVM>RF. In valley rainforests, MLP showed the highest R2 value, but with higher MAE and RMSE, making it the second‐best choice. The RF model performed moderately, while the SVM model showed the poorest performance. The SHAP values indicated that maximum diameter at breast height, slope, mean DBH, species evenness, altitude, and maximum tree height had significant effects on ACS. XGB model exhibits the best prediction performance and strongest adaptability for estimating ACS in subtropical southern China forests. Additionally, the MLP model can serve as an effective model for assessing carbon storage in valley rainforests within this region.

A European Commission 2016 impact assessment for bioenergy under the EU's Renewable Energy Directive predicted the forest sink would shrink as biomass use increased, even if sustainability criteria were required. Nonetheless, the EU adopted criteria that consider “sustainable” forest biomass to have zero carbon emissions, rendering EU and UK treatment of biomass inconsistent with IPCC's Guidance for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Renewable energy incentives have increased biomass use for electricity generation 1100% since 1990, but residential heating, which is ungoverned by any criteria, still represents the largest use of wood for energy in the EU. Incentives for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), which is intended to deliver “negative emissions,” will likely increase pressure on forests. Although IPCC Guidance is clear that BECCS fueled with forest biomass does not remove net CO2 from the atmosphere just because carbon has been stored belowground, EU and UK climate policies rely on large‐scale deployment of BECCS to meet climate targets. Bioenergy use cuts across environmental, energy, and climate policy domains; thus, reversing the accelerating decline of the forest carbon sink will require significantly better integration of renewable energy policies with climate targets and ensuring that biomass policies are aligned with international emissions reporting. Policymakers can reduce pressure on forests by disqualifying forest biomass from counting toward renewable energy targets, reducing subsidies for wood‐burning, and adopting forest management policies that prioritize carbon sequestration and biodiversity. Reducing biomass harvesting and reallocating the billions currently spent on bioenergy subsidies to solar, wind, and geothermal energy is essential for restoring forests and achieving climate targets.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcbb.70035","authors":["Mary S.

This Study evaluates tree diversity, population structure, and biomass carbon stock across five forest ranges of eastern India. METHODOLOGY: A stratified random sampling approach was implemented using a 5 km × 5 km grid for vegetational attribute studies. Tree diversity was assessed within 0.1 ha (31.62 m × 31.62 m) plots, while biomass estimation focused on trees with ≥ 10 cm. girth at breast height. Population structure and biomass estimation were analyzed across six defined girth classes, employing standardized protocols to ensure accurate carbon stock estimation. RESULTS: A total of 80 tree species belonging to 68 genera and 33 families were recorded, with Fabaceae emerging as the dominant family. Significant variation in species richness (32-52 species), tree density (804-1332 trees/ha), and basal area (18.28-24.92 m²/ha) was observed across the five forest ranges. Kolabira forest range (3.45) and Bagdihi forest range (3.37) exhibited the highest diversity indices, highlighting their ecological significance and carbon sequestration potential. Mid-sized trees (32-101 cm) contributed the most to biomass accumulation, while the lower densities in other size classes suggest selective exploitation. Total biomass was highest in Belpahar forest range (129.63 Mg/ha) and lowest in Jharsuguda forest range (86.73 Mg/ha), with a corresponding biomass carbon stock of 58.47 MgC/ha and 40.76 MgC/ha, respectively, emphasizing spatial variations in carbon storage across these dry deciduous forests. CONCLUSION: The findings highlight the ecological significance of tropical dry deciduous forests and underscore the urgent need for conservation strategies to safeguard biodiversity and enhance carbon storage. In parallel, the study offers a valuable scientific foundation for advancing forest management practices and shaping policies to address biodiversity loss and climate challenges in this vital region of India.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-025-02385-9","authors":["Abinash Mansingh","Antaryami Pradhan","Soumya Sahoo","Sujeet Sameer Cherwa","Barsha Mishra","Laxmi Prasad Rath","Nirius Jenan Ekka","Bibhu Prasad Panda"],"tags":["Deciduous","Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests","Carbon stock","Biomass (ecology)","Agroforestry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-025-02385-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.454Z"},{"id":"oa:W4226333000","name":"Comparing national greenhouse gas budgets reported in UNFCCC inventories against atmospheric inversions","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract. In support of the global stocktake of the Paris Agreement on climate change, this study presents a comprehensive framework to process the results of an ensemble of atmospheric inversions in order to make their net ecosystem exchange (NEE) carbon dioxide (CO2) flux suitable for evaluating national greenhouse gas inventories (NGHGIs) submitted by countries to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). From inversions we also deduced anthropogenic methane (CH4) emissions regrouped into fossil and agriculture and waste emissions, as well as anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. To compare inversion results with national reports, we compiled a new global harmonized database of emissions and removals from periodical UNFCCC inventories by Annex I countries, and from sporadic and less detailed emissions reports by non-Annex I countries, given by national communications and biennial update reports. No gap filling was applied. The method to reconcile inversions with inventories is applied to selected large countries covering ∼90 % of the global land carbon uptake for CO2 and top emitters of CH4 and N2O. Our method uses results from an ensemble of global inversions produced by the Global Carbon Project for the three greenhouse gases, with ancillary data. We examine the role of CO2 fluxes caused by lateral transfer processes from rivers and from trade in crop and wood products and the role of carbon uptake in unmanaged lands, both not accounted for by NGHGIs. Here we show that, despite a large spread across the inversions, the median of available inversion models points to a larger terrestrial carbon sink than inventories over temperate countries or groups of countries of the Northern Hemisphere like Russia, Canada and the European Union. For CH4, we find good consistency between the inversions assimilating only data from the global in situ network and those using satellite CH4 retrievals and a tendency for inversions to diagnose higher CH4 emission estimates than reported by NGHGIs. In particular, oil- and gas-extracting countries in central Asia and the Persian Gulf region tend to systematically report lower emissions compared to those estimated by inversions. For N2O, inversions tend to produce higher anthropogenic emissions than inventories for tropical countries, even when attempting to consider only managed land emissions. In the inventories of many non-Annex I countries, this can be tentatively attributed to a lack of reporting indirect N2O emissions from atmospheric deposition and from leaching to rivers, to the existence of natural sources intertwined with managed lands, or to an underestimation of N2O emission factors for direct agricultural soil emissions. Inversions provide insights into seasonal and interannual greenhouse gas fluxes anomalies, e.g., during extreme events such as drought or abnormal fire episodes, whereas inventory methods are established to estimate trends and multi-annual changes. As a much denser sampling of atmospheric CO2 and CH4 concentrations by different satellites coordinated into a global constellation is expected in the coming years, the methodology proposed here to compare inversion results with inventory reports (e.g., NGHGIs) could be applied regularly for monitoring the effectiveness of mitigation policy and progress by countries to meet the objective of their pledges.

While literature has advanced in integrating resilience and sustainability, predominant methods—mainly robust or stochastic optimization—focus on predefined scenarios and offer only a partial view of adaptive capacity. This emphasis on known–unknowns leaves unresolved how to ensure continuity, efficient recovery, and organizational learning under unexpected or unknown–unknown events. A methodological gap therefore persists in evaluating and designing supply chains that not only withstand disruptions but also retain essential goals, autonomously activate responses, and reorganize with acceptable costs and times. This study introduces the Immune-Structural Adaptive Response (RAIE) methodology, inspired by the human immune system. RAIE provides an evaluation framework combining properties such as early detection, minimal redundancy, adaptive memory, and structural reconfiguration, operationalized through dynamic metrics: goal retention, autonomous activation, adaptation cost, recovery time, and service loss. Applied to Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) supply chains, RAIE reduced service-loss area (Rₐᵣₑₐ) by 40–65% and recovery time (TTR) by 30–45%, while keeping adaptation costs below 2% of total expenditures. Unlike traditional stochastic or robust models, RAIE explicitly embeds endogenous responses and post-shock reorganization, producing more viable configurations that balance efficiency and resilience.

The construction of green data centers has emerged as a critical pathway for achieving carbon neutrality goals and facilitating energy structure transition. This paper presents a systematic review of the role of waste heat recovery technologies in data centers for achieving low-carbon development. Categorized by aspects of waste heat recovery technologies, power production and district heating, it focuses on assessing the applicability of heat collection technologies, such as heat pumps, thermal energy storage and absorption cooling, in different scenarios. This study examines multiple electricity generation pathways, specifically the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), Kalina Cycle (KC), and thermoelectric generators (TEG), with comprehensive analysis of their technical performance and economic viability. The study also assesses the feasibility and environmental advantages of using data center waste heat for district heating. This application, supported by heat pumps and thermal energy storage, could serve both residential and industrial areas. The study shows that waste heat recovery technologies can not only significantly reduce the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of data centers, but also deliver substantial economic returns and emission reduction potential. In the future, the integration of green computing power with renewable energy will emerge as the cornerstone of sustainable data center development.

It relies on the application of the high-resolution energy system model REMix. Our analysis reveals that the expansion of wind and solar power is more cost-efficient than the construction of additional hydroelectric plants. This is favoured because the existing hydroelectric plants offer large capacity of dispatchable power to compensate for fluctuations, and thus no additional storage is necessary. Furthermore, the REMix analysis indicates that varying shares of solar and wind power technologies as well as the spatial distribution of power generation have only a small influence on supply costs.

However, it is difficult to achieve this balance solely by relying on supply-side regulation. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with effective demand-side management, which is a key strategy within smart grid systems, encouraging end-users to actively engage and optimize their electricity usage. This paper proposes a novel bi-level optimization model for integrating solar, hydrogen, and battery storage systems with charging stations (SHS-EVCSs) to maximize social welfare. The first level employs a non-cooperative game theory model for each individual EVCS to minimize capital and operational costs. The second level uses a cooperative game framework with an internal management system to optimize energy transactions among multiple EVCSs while considering EV owners’ economic interests. A Markov decision process models uncertainties in EV charging times, and Monte Carlo simulations predict charging demand. Real-time electricity pricing based on the dual theory enables demand-side management strategies like peak shaving and valley filling. Case studies demonstrate the model’s effectiveness in reducing peak loads, balancing energy utilization, and enhancing overall system efficiency and sustainability through optimized renewable integration, energy storage, EV charging coordination, social welfare maximization, and cost minimization. The proposed approach offers a promising pathway toward sustainable energy infrastructure by harmonizing renewable sources, storage technologies, EV charging demands, and societal benefits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/wevj15080337","authors":["Lijia Duan","Gareth Taylor","Chun Sing Lai"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Environmental economics","Energy storage","Electricity","Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-27","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/wevj15080337","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.454Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406120165","name":"Contributions of countries without a carbon neutrality target to limit global warming","source":"openalex","abstract":"Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a key negative emission technology for climate mitigation.

Utilizing computational molecular simulations and kinetic analyses, we explore the impact of these factors on the formation of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and related species. First, grand canonical Monte Carlo/molecular dynamics (GCMC/MD) simulations reveal that physical H 2 adsorption occurs in distinct layers on the pyrite surface. In addition, increased temperatures reduce the absolute adsorption capacities. Reactive MD simulations demonstrate that H 2 interacts differently with pyrite under varying conditions. At 298 K, H 2 reacts with pyrite to form HS –, leading to the formation of HS – through covalent bonding with sulfur of pyrite. However, no H 2 S is produced at this temperature, suggesting that a kinetic barrier (i.e., activation energy) may prevent this reaction. At higher temperatures, H 2 S production significantly increases. The presence of water introduces additional complexity to the reaction mechanism. Unlike dry conditions, water enhances H 2 S generation, even at low temperatures. Water also facilitates the formation of additional products, such as SOH, indicating a more intricate chemical environment on the pyrite surface. Our findings identify the association of HS – ions to form H 2 S as the rate-limiting step, with temperature influencing this process. This finding suggests that while the presence of water can create a more dynamic reaction environment, the overall mechanisms leading to H 2 S formation remain consistent. These outcomes suggest the need for developing targeted strategies to manage and control H 2 S emissions within the context of underground hydrogen storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.4c10515","authors":["Hyeonseok Lee","Ruyi Zheng","Liangliang Huang","Timothy C.

Herein, we present a method for tuning the fluorescence response of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) toward dopamine (DA) and serotonin, two structurally related monoamine-hydroxylated aromatic neurotransmitters, by introducing oxygen defects into (6,5) chirality-enriched SWCNTs suspended by sodium cholate (SC). This modification facilitated opposite optical responses toward these neurotransmitters, where DA distinctly increased the fluorescence of the defect-induced emission of SWCNTs (D-SWCNTs) 6-fold, while serotonin notably decreased it. In contrast, pristine, defect-free SWCNTs exhibited similar optical responses to both neurotransmitters. The underlying mechanisms for the divergent fluorescence response were found to be polydopamine (PDA) surface adsorption in the case of the fluorescence enhancement in response to DA, while the fluorescence decrease in response to serotonin was attributed to enhanced solvent relaxation effects in the presence of defects. Importantly, the divergent optical response of D-SWCNTs to DA and serotonin, via the introduction of defects, was validated in complex biological environments such as serum. Further, the generality of our approach was confirmed by the demonstrations of a divergent fluorescence response of D-SWCNTs suspended by an additional dispersant, namely lipid-polyethylene glycol (PEG). This study offers promising avenues for the broad applicability of surface functionalization of SWCNTs to achieve divergent responses toward structurally related molecules and advance applications in sensing, imaging, and diagnostic technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.4c10360","authors":["Srestha Basu","Adi Hendler‐Neumark","Gili Bisker"],"tags":["Dopamine","Serotonin","Carbon nanotube","Fluorescence","Oxygen"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.4c10360","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.454Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406768809","name":"Diversity of biomass usage pathways to achieve emissions targets in the European energy system","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Biomass is a versatile renewable energy source with applications across the energy system, but it is a limited resource and its usage needs prioritization.

It is characterized by severe rocky desertification, particularly in China’s karst fault basin. Therefore, there is a crucial need to scientifically evaluate the variations in carbon storage over time and space in this area to ensure effective land space planning and regional ecological security, especially considering the dual carbon target. Using land use data (1985–2020) from the karst fault basin in Southwest China, the study employed the InVEST model to evaluate temporal and spatial variations in carbon storage. A time span of 35 years was examined, and predictions regarding carbon storage in 2050 were formulated under three different conditions: natural evolution, ecological protection, and cultivated land protection. These predictions were based on natural, social, and economic driving factors. The results revealed a fluctuating downward trend in regards to carbon storage in the study area from 1985 to 2020, with a total decrease of 2.1 × 106 t. After 2000, there has been significant improvement in the dynamic degree of land use for forest land, grassland, and construction land compared to the levels before 2000. Additionally, many land use types with high carbon density transitioned into those with lower carbon density. Spatially, the carbon density in the karst fault basin was higher in the north and lower in the central and southern basins. At the county spatial scale, except for the northern and central parts of the study area, there was a decrease in total carbon storage in the remaining counties. By 2050, under the ecological protection scenario, total carbon storage is projected to increase by approximately 6 × 106 t, whereas under the natural evolution and cultivated land protection scenarios, it is expected to decrease by 2 × 106 t and 3 × 106 t, respectively. Specifically, under the natural evolution scenario, only five counties will experience an increase in carbon storage, while the other counties will witness a decrease. The findings of this study offer a scientific basis for enhancing ecosystem carbon services through land management practices and the control of rocky desertification in the karst fault basin. They can inform decision-making processes regarding carbon sequestration, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable land use planning in the region.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17093931","authors":["Jiabin Zhang","Rong Tang","Wenting Liu","Guobao Zhang","Xiangru Hao","Yaguang Gong","Ying Zhou","Yuanhui Yang"],"tags":["Karst","Structural basin","Fault (geology)","Geology","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-27","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17093931","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.454Z"},{"id":"oa:W4281259700","name":"Renewable energy and CO2 emissions: New evidence with the panel threshold model","source":"openalex","abstract":"The increased concerns over climate change led to a large body of literature that examined the impact of energy and economic growth on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per capita.

From a tribological perspective, the incorporation of nanoscale additives, such as graphite nanoplatelets and TiO2 nanoparticles, and their contribution to enhancing wear resistance by promoting the formation of stable tribofilms, is explored. Advances in processing techniques, including low-pressure curing and improved resin systems, are also discussed for their roles in enhancing manufacturability and energy efficiency. Overall, the review underscores that optimal CFRP performance is achieved through the synergistic integration of fiber architecture, matrix design, and precise processing control, while future progress in nanomodification, recycling, and sustainable curing technologies is expected to further expand CFRP applications in the aerospace, automotive, and high-performance engineering sectors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/fib14030029","authors":["Matthew Davidson","Ryan Graunke","Aidan Green","Hayden Haelsig","Laura Heinemann","Subin Antony Jose","Pradeep L.

We apply computational modeling and principles in physics and chemistry to estimate different thermal and electric properties of a water-vapor/nitrogen/cesium-vapor (H2O/N2/Cs) gas mixture with different levels of cesium (Cs) at a fixed temperature of 2300 K ($2026.85~^{\\circ }$C). This gas mixture and temperature are selected because they resemble the stoichiometric combustion of hydrogen with air, followed by the addition of the alkali metal element cesium to allow ionization, thus converting the gas mixture into electrically conducting plasma. We vary the cesium mole fraction in the gas mixture by two orders of magnitude, from a minute amount of 0.0625% (1/1600) to a major amount of 16% (0.16). We use these results to further estimate the theoretical upper limit of the electric power output from a unit volume of a high-speed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) channel, with the plasma accelerated inside it to twice the local speed of sound (Mach number 2) while subject to an applied magnetic field of 5 T (5 teslas). We report that there is an optimum cesium mole fraction of 3%, at which the power output is maximized. Per 1 m3 of plasma volume, the estimated theoretical electric power generation at 1 atm (101.325 kPa) pressure of the hydrogen-combustion mixture is extraordinarily high at 360 MW/m3, and the plasma electric conductivity is 17.5 S/m. This estimated power generation even reaches an impressive level of 1.15 GW/m3 (11500 MW/m3) if the absolute pressure can be decreased to 0.0625 atm (6.333 kPa), at which the electric conductivity exceeds 55 S/m (more than 10 times the electric conductivity of seawater). Our interdisciplinary study combines principles from various fields (gas dynamics, thermodynamics, physics, and chemistry) while analyzing thermochemical and electric properties of weakly-ionized plasma. The study’s findings may raise interest in the utilization of hydrogen (particularly green hydrogen) in magnetohydrodynamic direct power extraction (MHD-DPE).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/access.2024.3496796","authors":["Osama A.

There remains a knowledge gap on how various varieties of plastics affect SOC and carbon-enzyme activity dynamics during the different growing stages of plants. In this study, we conducted a mesocosm experiment under field conditions using low-density polyethylene and poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) debris (LDPE-D and PBAT-D, 500-2000 μm (pieces), 0%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%), and low-density polyethylene microplastics (LDPE-M, 500-1000 μm (powder), 0%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%) to investigate SOC and C-enzyme activities (β-xylosidase, cellobiohydrolase, β-glucosidase) at the sowing, seedling, flowering and harvesting stages of soybean (Glycine Max). The results showed that SOC in the LDPE-D treatments significantly increased from the flowering to harvesting stage, by 12.69%-13.26% (p < 0.05), but significantly decreased in the 0.05% and 0.1% LDPE-M treatments from the sowing to seedling stage (p < 0.05). However, PBAT-D had no significant effect on SOC during the whole growing period. For C-enzyme activities, only LDPE-D treatments inhibited GH (17.22-38.56%), BG (46.7-66.53%) and CBH (13.19-23.16%), compared to treatment without plastic addition, from the flowering stage to harvesting stage. Meanwhile, C-enzyme activities and SOC responded nonmonotonically to plastic abundance and the impacts significantly varied among the growing stages, especially in treatments with PBAT-D (p < 0.05). These risks to soil organic carbon cycling are likely mediated by the effects of plastic contamination and degradation soil microbe. These effects are sensitive to plastic characteristics such as type, size, and shape, which, in turn, affect the biogeochemical and mechanical interactions involving plastic particles. Therefore, further research on the interactions between plastic degradation processes and the soil microbial community may provide better mechanistic understanding the effect of plastic contamination on soil organic carbon cycling.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124965","authors":["Xinkai Jia","Yu Yao","Gaowei Tan","Sha Xue","Mengjuan Liu","Darrell W.S.

It can effectively study the microscopic behaviors (such as diffusion, adsorption, and aggregation) of the surfactant molecules in the pore fluids and predict the thermodynamics and kinetics of these systems with a high degree of accuracy. MD simulation also overcomes the limitations of traditional experiments, which often lack the necessary temporal-spatial resolution.

ORR and OER both have significant activation barriers, which severely limit the overall performance of energy conversion devices that utilize ORR/OER. Meanwhile, ORR is another very important electrochemical reaction involving oxygen that has been widely investigated. ORR occurs in aqueous solutions via two pathways: the direct 4-electron reduction or 2-electron reduction pathways from O2 to water (H2O) or from O2 to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Noble metal electrocatalysts are often used to catalyze OER and ORR, despite the fact that noble metal electrocatalysts have certain intrinsic limitations, such as low storage. Thus, it is urgent to develop more active and stable low-cost electrocatalysts, especially for severe environments (e.g., acidic media). Theoretically, an ideal oxygen electrocatalyst should provide adequate binding to oxygen species. Transition metals not belonging to the platinum group metal-based oxides are a low-cost substance that could give a d orbital for oxygen species binding. As a result, transition metal oxides are regarded as a substitute for typical precious metal oxygen electrocatalysts. However, the development of oxide catalysts for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions still faces significant challenges, e.g., catalytic activity, stability, cost, and reaction mechanism. We discuss the fundamental principles underlying the design of oxide catalysts, including the influence of crystal structure, and electronic structure on their performance.

The objective of this framework is to determine the optimal size for the wind generation systems, PV generation systems, and hybrid battery energy storage systems (HBESS) with the least cost.

We show that 4 y of eCO 2 (+140 ± 38 ppm; i.e., +35% above ambient) altered the relative belowground C investment strategies of mature oak ( Quercus robur L.) in a 180-y-old temperate forest. Fine-root branching frequency increased 73% under eCO 2 . Specific root C exudation was enhanced under eCO 2 (63%), particularly outside the peak growing season, and the exudate C to nitrogen (N) ratio was increased (28%). Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) biomass production increased during leaf fall (17%) while ECM turnover increased almost fourfold under eCO 2 . The exudate and root metabolome composition were considerably altered during the late growing season under eCO 2 . We find, therefore, that a broad suite of nutrient acquisition strategies are upregulated under eCO 2 , with dynamic shifting between different outsourcing and do-it-yourself elements at different times of the year. These belowground changes support the increase in net primary productivity observed in this forest, with implications for the role of mature temperate forests in the global carbon sink.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2503595122","authors":["Michaela K.

Liquid solvent-based direct air capture, including systems using potassium hydroxide, amines, and advanced ionic liquids or deep eutectic solvents, benefits from high CO2 reactivity and established chemical regeneration processes, but faces limitations from high thermal energy demands, solvent degradation, and environmental handling concerns. Solid sorbent-based systems, such as those utilizing amine-functionalized materials or metal-organic frameworks, offer low-temperature regeneration and modular designs, yet often suffer from variable adsorption capacity under different humidity levels and degradation over multiple cycles. Electrochemical direct air capture is a rapidly advancing field that uses redox-active materials or ion-exchange membranes to reversibly bind and release CO2 using electrical energy. These systems enable operation under ambient conditions with high selectivity and reduced thermal input, though challenges persist in terms of redox material stability and scalability. Other emerging methods, such as cryogenic, photocatalytic, mineralization-based, and biological direct air capture, offer innovative pathways to reduce energy use or permanently sequester CO2, but remain at early developmental stages. While significant advances have improved energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and operational stability across direct air capture technologies, further research is needed to enhance long-term material performance, develop low-cost, scalable reactor designs, and improve integration with renewable energy systems. Future studies should prioritize techno-economic assessments, lifecycle analysis, and hybrid approaches that combine the strengths of multiple direct air capture pathways to achieve cost-effective and durable carbon removal at gigaton scales.","url":"https://doi.org/10.37256/sce.6220257850","authors":["Kuok Ho Daniel Tang"],"tags":["Carbon dioxide","Environmental science","Carbon dioxide removal","Chemistry","Organic chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.37256/sce.6220257850","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.454Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409709700","name":"From Waste to Watts: Cigarette Filter Waste to Carbon Nanomaterial‐Based Supercapacitors for Sustainable Energy Storage Applications","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT Currently, the rapidly growing population is producing hazardous waste materials at an unprecedented rate, which seriously affects the global environment.

In this context, here, we harnessed the most littered environmental pollutant, cigarette filter waste (CFW), to synthesize carbon nanomaterials (CNM) via a single‐step pyrolysis process, devoid of any catalyst or activating agent, possessing optimal characteristics for serving as an active electrode material in the fabrication of cutting‐edge supercapacitors, thereby addressing the issue of waste recycling and the need for energy storage devices among the populace. Supercapacitors, namely SC‐1 to SC‐4 matching electrolytes, 1M H 2 SO 4 , 2M H 2 SO 4 , 1M KOH, and 2M KOH, fabricated using CNM electrodes were evaluated. Among these, SC‐2 exhibits superior performance, demonstrating a remarkable capacitance of 240 Fg –1 at low scan rates (2 mVs –1 ), an enhanced energy density (22.4 Whkg –1 ), and commendable power density (399.43 Wkg –1 ).

Methods: ASD patients who underwent > four levels of corrective surgery between 2017 and 2021 were included. The open group included a posterior-only, single-stage technique, while the minimally invasive surgery (MIS) group was defined as the use of lateral interbody fusion and percutaneous posterior screw fixation. The two groups were propensity-score matched to adjust for baseline demographic, surgical, and radiographic characteristics. Data on all disposables and reusable instruments, anesthetic gas, and non-gas medications used during surgery were collected from medical records. The CF of transporting, using, and disposing of each product and the footprint of energy use in operating rooms were calculated. The CF produced was evaluated using the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), which is relative to the amount of CO2 with an equivalent global warming potential. Results: Of the 175 eligible patients, 15 pairs (65 ± 9 years, 47% female) were properly matched and analyzed for all variables. The average CF generated per case was 147.7 ± 37.3 kg-CO2e, of which 54% was attributable to energy used to sterilize reusable instruments, followed by anesthetic gas released into the environment (17%) and operating room air conditioning (15%). Conclusions: The CF generated during ASD surgery should be reduced using a multidisciplinary approach, taking into account that different surgical procedures have different impacts on carbon emission sources.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm13133731","authors":["Hiroyuki Nakarai","Cole Kwas","Eric Mai","Nishtha Singh","Bo Zhang","John C.

Bioinspired structures have several advantages as the skeleton for preparing thermal energy storage materials, including preventing leakage and improving thermal conductivity. Phase change materials (PCMs) play an important role in the development of energy storage materials because of their stable chemical/thermal properties and high latent heat storage capacity. However, their applications have been compromised, owing to low thermal conductivity and leakage. The plant-derived scaffolds (i.e., wood-derived SiC/Carbon) in the composites can not only provide higher thermal conductivity but also prevent leakage. In this paper, we review recent progress in the preparation, microstructures, properties and applications of bioinspired composites for thermal energy storage. Two methods are generally used for producing bioinspired composites, including the direct introduction of biomass-derived templates and the imitation of biological structures templates. Some of the key technologies for introducing PCMs into templates involves melting, vacuum impregnation, physical mixing, etc. Continuous and orderly channels inside the skeleton can improve the overall thermal conductivity, and the thermal conductivity of composites with biomass-derived, porous, silicon carbide skeleton can reach as high as 116 W/m*K. In addition, the tightly aligned microporous structure can cover the PCM well, resulting in good leakage resistance after up to 2500 hot and cold cycles. Currently, bioinspired composites for thermal energy storage hold the greatest promise for large-scale applications in the fields of building energy conservation and solar energy conversion/storage.

One of the best ways to deal with dye degradation, hydrogen production, and carbon dioxide reduction issues is the photocatalytic technique. Among various methods, catalytic technology has demonstrated tremendous promise in recent years as a cheap, sustainable, and environmentally benign technology. The expeditious establishment of carbon-based metal nanoparticles as catalysts in the disciplines of materials and chemical engineering for catalytic applications triggered by visible light is largely attributed to their advancement. There have been many wonderful catalysts created, but there are still many obstacles to overcome, which include the cost of catalysts being reduced and their effectiveness being increased. Carbon-based materials exhibit a unique combination of characteristics that make them ideal catalysts for various reaction types. These characteristics include an exceptional electrical conductivity, well-defined structures at the nanoscale, inherent water repellency, and the ability to tailor surface properties for specific applications. This versatility allows them to be effective in diverse catalytic processes, encompassing organic transformations and photocatalysis. The emergence of carbon-based nanostructured materials, including fullerenes, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphitic carbon nitride, and graphene, presents a promising alternative to conventional catalysts. This review focuses on the diverse functionalities of these materials within the realm of catalysis materials for degradation, hydrogen production, and carbon dioxide reduction. Additionally, it explores the potential for their commercialization, delving into the underlying mechanisms and key factors that influence their performance.

However, these claims are generally undermined by incomplete consideration of the life cycle climate change impacts, material properties, supply and demand constraints, and economic viability of CO 2 mineralization products. We investigate these factors in detail for ten concrete-related CO 2 mineralization products to quantify their individual and global CO 2 -eq. emissions reduction potentials. Our results show that in 2020, 3.9 Gt of carbonatable solid materials were generated globally, with the dominant material being end-of-life cement paste in concrete and mortar (1.4 Gt y –1 ). All ten of the CO 2 mineralization technologies investigated here reduce life cycle CO 2 -eq. emissions when used to substitute comparable conventional products. In 2020, the global CO 2 -eq. emissions reduction potential of economically competitive CO 2 mineralization technologies was 0.39 Gt CO 2 -eq., i.e., 15% of that from cement production. This level of CO 2 -eq. emissions reduction is limited by the supply of end-of-life cement paste. The results also show that it is 2 to 5 times cheaper to reduce CO 2 -eq. emissions by producing cement from carbonated end-of-life cement paste than carbon capture and storage (CCS), demonstrating its superior decarbonization potential. On the other hand, it is currently much more expensive to reduce CO 2 -eq. emissions using some CO 2 mineralization technologies, like carbonated normal weight aggregate production, than CCS.

However, due to the susceptibility of SOC stocks to environmental and topo-climatic variability and changes, it is essential to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the state of current SOC stocks both spatially and vertically. Consequently, to effectively assess SOC storage and sequestration capacity, precise evaluations at multiple soil depths are required. Hence, this study implemented an advanced Deep Neural Network (DNN) model incorporating Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, topo-climatic features, and soil physical properties to predict SOC stocks at multiple depths (0-30cm, 30-60cm, 60-100cm, and 100-200cm) across diverse land-use categories in the KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. There was a general decline in the accuracy of the DNN model's prediction with increasing soil depth, with the root mean square error (RMSE) ranging from 8.34 t/h to 11.97 t/h for the four depths. These findings imply that the link between environmental covariates and SOC stocks weakens with soil depth. Additionally, distinct factors driving SOC stocks were discovered in both topsoil and deep-soil, with vegetation having the strongest effect in topsoil, and topo-climate factors and soil physical properties becoming more important as depth increases. This underscores the importance of incorporating depth-related soil properties in SOC modelling. Grasslands had the largest SOC stocks, while commercial forests have the highest SOC sequestration rates per unit area.

Changes in gene expression in response to iron availability by heterotrophic bacteria were detected under conditions of high productivity when carbon limitation was relieved but when iron availability remained low. The ratio of particulate organic carbon to dissolved iron emerged as a biogeochemical proxy for iron limitation of heterotrophic bacteria in this system. Iron stress was characterized by high expression levels of iron transport pathways and decreased expression of iron-containing enzymes involved in carbon metabolism, where a majority of the heterotrophic bacterial iron requirement resides. Expression of iron stress biomarkers, as identified in the iron-addition experiments, was also detected insitu.

Many functional materials have been developed for removing atmospheric CO 2 and converting it to more useful forms of carbon. Traditional metallic photocatalytic species have drawbacks─photocorrosion, low visible-light absorbance, and environmental damage; therefore, metal-free materials have attracted considerable research attention. In particular, boron nitride (BN) possesses unique B–N bonds, characterized by a large difference in the electronegativity of atoms that facilitates CO 2 reduction, and catalytic CO 2 reduction by boron carbon nitride (BCN) has been demonstrated under visible light; hence, these two materials can be considered potential CO 2 reduction photocatalysts. However, further modification of the materials and their applicability to other CCU applications have not been extensively explored. Therefore, we decided to investigate the modification of BCN monolayers, with the aim of ensuring that the properties of the materials are better suited, first, to the requirements of CO 2 photocatalysis, and second, to those of carbon capture or other optoelectronic applications. In this study, we considered various novel BCN monolayers, based on modification via metal-free substitutional doping and nitrogen vacancy creation, and performed first-principles density functional theory calculations. The effects of the modifications on band gap tuning, charge transfer, and the CO 2 adsorption ability were all studied. Specifically, O N -B 13 C 8 N 11 and Si C -2 × 2-BC 6 N were shown to possess excellent properties for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction, and O C -2 × 2-BC 6 N and N v -4 × 4-BN can be considered for future CO 2 capture materials. These results contribute to existing CCU approaches, suggesting that BCN monolayer modification merits further investigation, and offering insights relevant to other photocatalytic applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c07795","authors":["Jingyuan Wang","Xuan Luo"],"tags":["Photocatalysis","Carbon nitride","Materials science","Electronegativity","Monolayer"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c07795","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.454Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402216094","name":"Optimizing sustainable development in arid river basins: A multi-objective approach to balancing water, energy, economy, carbon and ecology nexus","source":"openalex","abstract":"The ongoing water crisis poses significant threats to the socioeconomic sustainability and ecological security of arid and semi-arid river basins. Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within a complex socio-ecological nexus requires effective and balanced resource management. However, due to the intricate interactions between human societies and environmental systems, the tradeoffs and synergies of different SDGs remain unclear, posing a substantial challenge for collaborative management of natural resources. Here we introduce a gray fractional multi-objective optimization (GFMOP) model to balance multi-dimensional SDGs through a novel water-energy-economy-carbon-ecology nexus perspective. The model was applied to a typical arid river basin in Northwest China, where thirty-two scenarios were explored, considering factors such as shared socioeconomic pathways, carbon removal rates, water conveyance efficiencies, and ecological requirements. The results reveal a strong tradeoff between marginal benefit and carbon emission intensity, indicating that improving the economic efficiency of water use can simultaneously reduce emissions and protect the environment. Given the immense power generation potential, wind power development should be prioritized in the future, with its share in the energy structure projected to increase to 23.3% by 2060. Furthermore, promoting carbon capture technologies and expanding grassland coverage are recommended to achieve regional carbon neutrality, contributing 39.5% and 49.1% to carbon absorption during 2021-2060, respectively. Compared with traditional single-objective models, GFMOP demonstrates a superiority in uncovering interrelationships among multiple SDGs and identifying compromised alternatives within the compound socio-ecological nexus. The model also provides detailed strategies for resource allocation and pollutant control, offering valuable guidance to policymakers and stakeholders in pursuing sustainable and harmonious watershed management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ese.2024.100481","authors":["Yufei Zhang","Yongping Li","Guohe Huang","Yuan Ma","Yanxiao Zhou"],"tags":["Nexus (standard)","Sustainable development","Sustainability","Environmental resource management","Water resources"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ese.2024.100481","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.454Z"},{"id":"oa:W4414686005","name":"Effect of Metal Modification of Activated Carbon on the Hydrogen Adsorption Capacity","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study investigates the hydrogen adsorption performance of activated carbon (AC) derived from rice husks and modified with magnesium and nickel salts. Adsorption isotherms were recorded at 25 °C and 50 °C up to 80 bar, simulating practical storage conditions. The unmodified AC exhibited the highest hydrogen uptake (0.62 wt% at 25 °C), attributed to its high surface area and dominant ultramicroporosity (<0.9 nm). Modifications with Mg and Ni reduced adsorption capacity, likely due to partial pore blockage and decreased surface functionality, as confirmed by FTIR, Raman, and XRD analyses. Despite this, all samples demonstrated stable cyclic adsorption-desorption behavior and consistent isotherm profiles. Hysteresis observed in the modified samples suggests capillary condensation within mesopores. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed the exothermic nature of hydrogen adsorption. Among the modified materials, ACM10 (Mg-modified) exhibited the best performance (0.54 wt%), highlighting the importance of optimizing the metal content.

Recognising the value of citizen involvement in shaping energy transformation, this research advocates for the adoption of community renewable energy (CRE) in Nigeria. Drawing inspiration from paradigmatic CRE models in Germany and Denmark, the study explores the evolving landscape of low-carbon energy transitions in developing economies through the Nigerian case. Currently, Nigeria’s low-carbon transition remains constrained by inadequate policies and top-down energy strategies, motivating the need for a more inclusive and decentralised approach. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a policy framework grounded in multi-level governance (MLG) theory. The conceptual framework delineates the roles and responsibilities of federal, state, and local governments, highlighting the scope for introducing renewable energy desk officers at the local level. Crucially, this research contributes to the limited body of CRE literature within Nigeria and similar sub-Saharan African contexts. The output provides concrete recommendations for renewable energy policy development in SSA nations with diverse political landscapes, in addition to supporting the future research agenda on CRE. Accordingly, the proposition of community renewable multi-level governance (CRE-MLG) reflects the rationale that citizen-centric energy practices can strengthen sustainability pathways in challenging contexts such as Nigeria. In contributing towards the burgeoning literature on energy transitions, this study advocates for an integrated governance approach and the bottom-up adoption of CRE practices to help drive sustainable development. 1 1 CRE, Community renewable energy; CRE-MLG, Community renewable energy multi-level governance; DRE, Decentralised renewable energy; EU, European Union; FiT, Feed-in Tariff; FG, Federal Government; GHG, greenhouse gas; FG, Federal Government; LG, Local Government; MLG; Multi-level governance; OECD, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development; RE, Renewable energy; REDOs, Renewable energy desk officers; RESs, Renewable energy sources; SG, State Government; SSA, sub-Saharan Africa. • Examines the link between community renewable energy and multi-level governance in Nigeria • Recommends integration of mid-level and local government in national energy policy • Promotes community renewable energy adoption and citizen involvement in rural Nigeria • Advances scholarly understanding of low carbon transitions in sub-Saharan countries. • Provides an innovative policy solution for implementing energy sector reforms","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2025.103938","authors":["Kim Kaze","Nazmiye Balta‐Ozkan","Elisabeth Shrimpton"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Corporate governance","Energy transition","Power (physics)","Energy (signal processing)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2025.103938","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.454Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400998802","name":"Storage and persistence of organic carbon in the upper three meters of soil under arable and native prairie land use","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11104-024-06850-0","authors":["Christopher O.

Pollutants such as industrial chemicals, agricultural runoff, and untreated sewage frequently enter rivers via surface runoff or direct discharges. This study provides an overview of the key mechanisms governing contaminant transport in rivers, with special attention to storage and hyporheic processes. The storage process conceptualizes a ubiquitous reactive boundary between the main channel (mobile zone) and its surrounding slower-flow areas (immobile zone). Research from the last five decades demonstrates the crucial role of storage and hyporheic zones in influencing solute residence time, nutrient cycling, and pollutant degradation. A review of solute transport models highlights significant advancements, including models like the transient storage model (TSM) and multirate mass transport (MRMT) model, which effectively capture complex storage zone dynamics and residence time distributions. However, more widely used models like the classical advection–dispersion equation (ADE) cannot hyporheic exchange, limiting their application in environments with significant storage contributions. Despite these advancements, challenges remain in accurately quantifying the relative contributions of storage zones to solute transport and degradation, especially in smaller streams dominated by hyporheic exchange. Future research should integrate detailed field observations with advanced numerical models to address these gaps and improve water quality predictions across diverse river systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/hydrology11110187","authors":["Amir Mohammad Saadat","Sajad Khodambashi Emami","Hossein Hamidifar"],"tags":["Process (computing)","Environmental science","Water quality","Water storage","Quality (philosophy)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/hydrology11110187","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.454Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403749366","name":"Modified hydrothermal method for synthesizing titanium dioxide-decorated multiwalled carbon nanotube nanocomposites for the solar-driven photocatalytic degradation of dyes","source":"openalex","abstract":"within 120 min of solar-light exposure.

The study revealed the key benefits of CO 2 -EGS, including reducing corrosion and scaling effects in the wellbore, maintaining reservoir pressure, storing CO 2 , increasing sweep efficiency of the reservoir, lowering pumping power, and addressing water scarcity for geothermal systems. Despite its significance, CO 2 -EGS encounters major challenges, such as cost, drilling and operating wells in harsh geological conditions, CO 2 leakage, lost circulation, premature thermal breakthrough, lower specific enthalpy, and incomplete heating.

The as-synthesized monoliths were carbonized (at 600 °C) and chemically activated with varying proportions of NaOH (1:1, 1:2, and 1:3). This materials offer the CO2 adsorption effect under dynamic conditions, fast mass transfer, easy handling, and outstanding stability throughout the adsorption-desorption cycle. FE-SEM, and HR-TEM analyses confirmed the porous nature and shape of the adsorbents, while XPS examination revealed the presence of distinct functional groups on the surface of the monolith. By increasing the mass ratios (MGO:NaOH) from 1:1 to 1:2, the surface areas increased by approximately 2.6 times, ranging from 520.8 to 753.9 m2 g⁻1 (surface area of the untreated MGO was 289.2 m2 g⁻1). Consequently, this resulted in a notable enhancement of 2.10 mmol g⁻1 in dynamic CO2 capture capacity. The assessment encompassed the evaluation of production yield, selectivity, regenerability, kinetics, equilibrium isotherm, and isosteric temperatures of adsorption (Qst). The decrease in CO2 capture effectiveness with rising adsorption temperature indicated an exothermic and physisorption process. The regenerability of 99.1 % at 100 °C and excellent cyclic stability with efficient CO2 adsorption make this monolithic adsorbent appropriate for post-combustion CO2 capture. The significant Qst lend support to the heterogeneity of the adsorbent's surface, and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model along with the Freundlich isotherm model emerged as the most fitting. Therefore, the current investigation shows that the carbon-enriched adsorbents enhance the CO2 adsorption capacity. It may be used as a low-cost pretreatment method on an industrial scale before carbon capture.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27439","authors":["Ranjeet Kumar Jha","Haripada Bhunia","Soumen Basu"],"tags":["Adsorption","Desorption","Physisorption","Activated carbon","Monolith"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27439","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.454Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409540589","name":"Rational Design of Carbon‐Based Electrocatalysts for H 2 O 2 Production by Machine Learning and Structural Engineering","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Electrochemical synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) via two‐electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e − ORR) represents an economically viable alternative to conventional anthraquinone processes.

The addition of machine learning (ML) technologies has completely changed the field of biochemical sensing, providing enhanced accuracy and reliability. In the present work, an ML-assisted screen-printed, flexible, electrochemical, non-enzymatic biosensor was proposed to quantify urea concentrations. For the detection of urea, the biosensor was modified with a multi-walled carbon nanotube-zinc oxide (MWCNT-ZnO) nanocomposite functionalized with copper oxide (CuO) micro-flowers (MFs). Further, the CuO-MFs were synthesized using a standard sol-gel approach, and the obtained particles were subjected to various characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The sensor’s performance for urea detection was evaluated by assessing the dependence of peak currents on analyte concentration using cyclic voltammetry (CV) at different scan rates of 50, 75, and 100 mV/s. The designed non-enzymatic biosensor showed an acceptable linear range of operation of 0.5–8 mM, and the limit of detection (LoD) observed was 78.479 nM, which is well aligned with the urea concentration found in human blood and exhibits a good sensitivity of 117.98 mA mM−1 cm−2. Additionally, different regression-based ML models were applied to determine CV parameters to predict urea concentrations experimentally. ML significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of screen-printed biosensors, enabling accurate predictions of urea levels. Finally, the combination of ML and biosensor design emphasizes not only the high sensitivity and accuracy of the sensor but also its potential for complex non-enzymatic urea detection applications.

While modeling can inform H 2 dynamics, reactor-scale experiments are needed for validation. In our study, we used a high-pressure reactor to simulate injecting 2% H 2 into a gas storage aquifer currently used for natural gas (CH 4, 1% CO 2 ), utilizing formation water and rock samples from the aquifer. Our research led to a kinetic model that analyzes the interactions among gas, water, rock, and microbial activities. We found that microorganisms consumed H 2 and caused alkalinization, which inhibited further microbial growth and respiration.

According to this technique, the three phases involved (hydrate-aqueous solution-liquid CO2) are placed together in the same simulation box. By varying the number of molecules of each phase, it is possible to analyze the effect of simulation size and stoichiometry on the T3 determination. In this work, we have determined the T3 value at 8 different pressures (from 100 to 6000 bar) and using 6 different simulation boxes with different numbers of molecules and sizes. In two of these configurations, the ratio of the number of water and CO2 molecules in the aqueous solution and the liquid CO2 phase is the same as in the hydrate (stoichiometric configuration). In both stoichiometric configurations, the formation of a liquid drop of CO2 in the aqueous phase is observed. This drop, which has a cylindrical geometry, increases the amount of CO2 available in the aqueous solution and can in some cases lead to the crystallization of the hydrate at temperatures above T3, overestimating the T3 value obtained from direct coexistence simulations. The simulation results obtained for the CO2 hydrate confirm the sensitivity of T3 depending on the size and composition of the system, explaining the discrepancies observed in the original work by Míguez et al.

This is attributed to the premise that these technologies can decarbonize numerous sectors worldwide by providing versatile and sustainable energy carriers and industrial feedstocks to replace fossil-based fuels and chemicals. To this end, the qualitative benefits of green hydrogen and power-to-X technologies have been thoroughly examined for various applications in past years. In contrast, quantifying the potential penetration of such technologies on national and global levels still requires extensive research. Therefore, this paper investigates the prospective integration of green hydrogen and power-to-X technologies within Jordanian industries, considering their quantitative utilization potential for current and future capacities. The findings showed that the Jordanian food processing and heavy industries emerged as major sectors with substantial potential for incorporating green hydrogen and power-to-X products as alternative fuels or chemical feedstocks. In detail, the total potential utilization capacity for these sectors stood at around 57 thousand tons per year. Specifically, fertilizers production, cement industry, steel reforming, and oil refinery possess an annual potential capacity of around 6.8, 11.8, 12.7, and 25.8 thousand tons, respectively. It is also worth mentioning that the current utilization capacity of hydrogen in Jordanian industries was found to be around 8.9 thousand tons per annum, which is completely covered by fossil-based hydrogen to date. These results imply that there will be a promising market for green hydrogen and power-to-X utilization in Jordanian industries, which will play a significant role in integrated energy transition efforts in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17010213","authors":["Hani Muhsen","Mohammed Al‐Mahmodi","Rashed Tarawneh","Asma Alkhraibat","Ala‘aldeen Al-Halhouli"],"tags":["Fossil fuel","Renewable energy","Market penetration","Environmental science","Energy carrier"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17010213","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.454Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406124924","name":"Analysis of the LCA-Emergy and Carbon Emissions Sustainability Assessment of a Building System with Coupled Energy Storage Modules","source":"openalex","abstract":"This paper uses a perspective of life cycle ecological emergy and carbon footprint to quantitatively verify the sustainable status of building systems; it also employs a neural network model to predict and analyze their long-term ecological and carbon footprint effects.

In contrast to permanent removals, non-permanent CDR does not reduce the optimal long-run temperature level.

Due to the flexible valence state of manganese, MnF2 is expected to provide efficient OER. However, its insulating properties may inhibit its OER process to a certain degree. Herein, during the process of converting the manganese source in the precursor of porous carbon nanofibers (PCNFs) to manganese fluoride, the manganese source is changed to manganese acetate, which allows PCNFs to grow a large number of hollow carbon nanorods (HCNRs). Meanwhile, manganese fluoride will transform from the aggregation state into uniformly dispersed MnF2 nanodots, thereby achieving highly efficient OER catalytic activity. Furthermore, the intrinsic ORR catalytic activity of the HCNRs/MnF2@PCNFs can be enhanced due to the charge modulation effect of MnF2 nanodots inside HCNR. In addition, the HCNRs stretched toward the liquid electrolyte can increase the capture capacity of dissolved oxygen and protect the inner MnF2, thereby enhancing the stability of HCNRs/MnF2@PCNFs for the oxygen electrocatalytic process. MnF2 surface‐modulated HCNRs can strongly enhance ORR activity, and the uniformly dispersed MnF2 can also provide higher OER activity. Thus, the prepared HCNRs/MnF2@PCNFs obtain efficient bifunctional oxygen catalytic ability and high‐performance rechargeable ZABs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.202306367","authors":["Gang Wang","Hao Chi","Feng Yang","Jie Fan","Nanping Deng","Weimin Kang","Bowen Cheng"],"tags":["Nanodot","Materials science","Oxygen evolution","Manganese","Bifunctional"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.202306367","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405798692","name":"Integrated Three-Dimensional Structural and Petrophysical Modeling for Assessment of CO2 Storage Potential in Gas Reservoir","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO2) storage in oil and gas reservoirs is one of the most effective methods for enhancing hydrocarbon recovery efficiency and mitigating climate change by securely storing CO2. However, building a realistic three-dimensional (3D) geological model for these storage reservoirs poses a significant challenge. To address this, employing a novel methodology combining 3D structural and petrophysical modeling, our study presents a pioneering effort to assess the CO2 storage potential of the faulted reservoir between the G- and E-sands of the Lower Goru Formation in the Kadanwari Gas Field (KGF), Middle Indus Basin (MIB), Pakistan. Analysis of seismic data revealed a complex reservoirs structure affected by normal faults oriented in a northwest–southeast direction. These faults partition the reservoir into several compartments and could serve as potential pathways for CO2 migration. Three-dimensional structural modeling unveiled complex features, for example horsts, grabens, and half-grabens, formed through multiple deformation stages. Petrophysical modeling indicated promising reservoir characteristics, that is high porosity and permeability in the desired zone. Three-dimensional property models were generated using sequential Gaussian simulation to represent the distribution of petrophysical properties, for example porosity, permeability, shale volume, and water saturation. Geological uncertainties were incorporated enabling the calculation of pore volume distribution and corresponding uncertainty. A novel technique was developed to assess the probable CO2 storage potential in the KGF, considering its distinctive features. The study revealed a storage potential ranging from 10.13 million tons (P10) to 101.54 million tons (P90), with an average potential of 53.58 million tons (P50). Our study offers a comprehensive approach to evaluating CO2 storage potential in complex geological zones, filling a knowledge gap in existing literature on carbon neutrality efforts in Pakistan. These findings lay the groundwork for future initiatives in geological CO2 storage in the MIB and support the country’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2113/2024/lithosphere_2024_222","authors":["Syed Yasir Ali Shah","DU Jiang-feng","Sayed Muhammad Iqbal","Linze Du","Umair Khan","Baoyi Zhang","Jingqiang Tan"],"tags":["Petrophysics","Petroleum engineering","Geology","Petrology","Natural gas field"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2113/2024/lithosphere_2024_222","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W2528014653","name":"Expanding the role of reactive transport models in critical zone processes","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2016.09.001","authors":["Li Li","Kate Maher","Alexis Navarre‐Sitchler","Jenny Druhan","Christof Meile","C.

This paper presents a comprehensive energy management framework holding real-time optimisation for HPP. The practical implications of this research are significant, as it provides a roadmap for seamlessly integrating RESs with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) in Hybrid Power Plants (HPPs) to minimise cost while meeting daily household energy demands. Furthermore, it demonstrates how diesel generators (DGs) can be incorporated into the HPP’s energy management system while minimising carbon emissions. An Energy Dispatch Engine (EDE) is introduced to control HPPs that combine PV, BESS, DG and Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS). Two optimisation approaches are used, namely, Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming (SDDP). The system leverages load and RES power data while considering State-of-Charge (SoC) constraints to manage battery health proactively. Optimising discharge and charge profiles of the BESS, with the overarching goal of minimising the total cost of satisfying daily load demand, is an objective. Various tariff schemes were explored to assess the presented EDE. Our testing demonstrates that the SDDP approach consistently results in lower total costs than MILP.

While the concept of fast‐growing seaweed to capture atmospheric carbon is appealing, the experts largely agree that its potential for direct, long‐term carbon sequestration is currently overstated and faces significant challenges. One primary limitation is that most farmed seaweed is used for food or other products that quickly decompose, releasing the captured carbon back into the atmosphere. Additionally, only a small fraction of seaweed biomass is sequestered in long‐term storage sinks like deep‐sea sediments. Furthermore, the process of monitoring, reporting, and verification for seaweed‐based carbon dioxide removal is complex and currently lacks accurate tools. More importantly, quantifying the net climate benefit is complicated by life cycle emissions from farming and processing, which can offset carbon gains. Some experts suggest a more viable climate benefit lies in using seaweed to reduce emissions by substituting for products with higher carbon footprints. Socio‐economic initiatives like the blue carbon crediting scheme in Japan show a path forward, where credits are purchased to support local communities and conservation, suggesting value beyond pure carbon offsetting. The consensus is that while seaweed farming offers substantial benefits for food security and coastal ecosystems, its most realistic contribution to climate action is through indirect emission reduction, not large‐scale carbon removal. A rigorous, science‐based approach is essential to avoid hype and ensure sustainable development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/pre.70009","authors":["Gregory N. Nishihara","Yoichi Sato","Aaron M.

This study aimed to evaluate the potential for carbon sequestration and storage in plantations on roadsides in southern Quebec, Canada. We used the Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forester Sector 3 (CBM-CFS3) to simulate the carbon sequestration capacity over 100 years of plantations established following afforestation with different species mixtures based on local needs and aspirations. We then compared the carbon sequestration potential of simulated plantations with the carbon storage of natural vegetation of reference roadsides with different histories of land use. Our findings suggested that plantations on roadsides subjected to high anthropogenic pressure, such as road rights-of-way, may provide carbon sequestration benefits relative to baseline conditions (i.e., no plantation). For instance, 15 years after afforestation, the additional carbon sequestration potential of plantations on road rights-of-way varied between 25 and 32 Mg ha−1, depending on the afforestation scenario. However, allowing roadsides classified as abandoned agricultural lands to undergo natural succession could promote higher carbon storage on roadsides than planting, irrespective of species mixtures. Our results indicated that the carbon storage of vegetation resulting from the abandonment of agriculture 35 to 45 years ago showed a range of 260 to 290 Mg ha−1, which exceeded the carbon stocks predicted with afforestation models for 60 to 84 years after planting. Indeed, reference roadsides used for agriculture in the past, but that have otherwise not been subjected to other anthropogenic degradation, appeared to naturally evolve toward forest vegetation with higher carbon stocks than simulated plantations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/f15020264","authors":["Nour Srour","Évelyne Thiffault","Jean‐François Boucher"],"tags":["Carbon sequestration","Afforestation","Environmental science","Agroforestry","Vegetation (pathology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/f15020264","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391104836","name":"Construction of Phosphorus‐Functionalized Multichannel Carbon Interlayers for Dendrite‐Free Metallic Zn Anodes","source":"openalex","abstract":"Zn metal anodes are usually subject to grave dendrite growth during platting/stripping, which dramatically curtails the lifespan of aqueous Zn‐ion batteries and capacitors.

Biochar amendment significantly enhanced SOC and the soil C/N ratio, with the highest dose (30 t ha−1) raising SOC by 47.21% at jointing and 34.64% at maturity. Biochar significantly increased MNC at all growth stages, with increases ranging from 22.74% to 30.81%. From the jointing to the maturity stage, SOC exhibited a decline (20.03 to 27.77%), in contrast to the minimal change in MNC (–6.37% to 9.80%). This divergent trend consequently led to a peak in the MNC/SOC ratio at maturity. It directly demonstrates the relative stability of MNC and indicates its role as a persistent carbon reservoir within the topsoil. Biochar also elevated soil pH and nutrient availability, which reshaped microbial community structure and enhanced bacterial diversity. Partial least squares path modeling revealed that biochar facilitates MNC accumulation directly and indirectly by modifying soil chemical properties and thereby enhancing microbial diversity. These findings show that biochar enhances stable SOC storage in saline–alkaline soils primarily through the formation and stabilization of microbial necromass, thus revealing its potential for climate change mitigation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy15112472","authors":["Yiying Wang","Yuan Gao","Haodong Zheng","Rongkang Wang","Zhiwei Ge","Zimei Miao"],"tags":["Biochar","Topsoil","Soil carbon","Amendment","Soil water"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy15112472","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W4389048230","name":"Global Decarbonization: Current Status and What It Will Take to Achieve Net Zero by 2050","source":"openalex","abstract":"A review of global CO2 emissions over the last century shows that emissions from 80 economies contributed to 95% of global emissions.

However, it remains unclear how they will be affected by land-use changes due to lack of knowledge and data gaps. Therefore, understanding the response mechanism of ecosystem services to land-use change is critical for developing systematic and sound land planning. In this study, we aimed to explore the impacts of land-use change on the three ecosystem services, carbon storage (CS), flood regulation (FR), and soil conservation (SC), in the ecological conservation area of Beijing, China. We first projected land-use changes from 2015 to 2030, under three scenarios, i.e., Business as Usual (BAU), Ecological Land Protection (ELP), and Rapid Economic Development (RED), by interactively integrating the Markov model (Quantitative simulation) with the GeoSOS-FLUS model (Spatial arrangement), and then quantified the three ecosystem services by using a spatially explicit InVEST model. The results showed that built-up land would have the most remarkable growth during 2015–2030 under the RED scenario (2.52% increase) at the expense of cultivated and water body, while forest land is predicted to increase by 152.38 km2 (1.36% increase) under the ELP scenario. The ELP scenario would have the highest amount of carbon storage, flood regulation, and soil conservation, due to the strict protection policy on ecological land. The RED scenario, in which a certain amount of cultivated land, water body, and forest land is converted to built-up land, promotes soil conservation but triggers greater loss of carbon storage and flood regulation capacity. The conversion between land-use types will affect trade-offs and synergies among ecosystem services, in which carbon storage would show significant positive correlation with soil conservation through the period of 2015 to 2030, under all scenarios. Together, our results provide a quantitative scientific report that policymakers and land managers can use to identify and prioritize the best practices to sustain ecosystem services, by balancing the trade-offs among services.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/f11050584","authors":["Zuzheng Li","Xiaoqin Cheng","Hairong Han"],"tags":["Ecosystem services","Land use","Land use, land-use change and forestry","Beijing","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-05-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/f11050584","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W7125516629","name":"Metal–Organic Frameworks for Gaseous Pollutant Management: From Capture to Neutralization and Reutilization","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT The management of hazardous pollutants remains a critical environmental and public health challenge, necessitating innovative materials capable of efficient capture, neutralization, and potential reutilization.

Understanding the net carbon effect of wood in glamping structures is crucial for informing sustainable building practices. This paper aims to quantitatively compare the net carbon impact of wood in glamping structures, filling a notable gap in the current research literature. The investigation undertakes a thorough evaluation employing a life cycle methodology, appraising the emissions linked with the complete glamping life span. Seven Romanian companies are examined vertically within the glamping production chain and horizontally across the supply value chain. The investigation unveils a notable discovery: the integration of wood within glamping yields considerable carbon sequestration, wherein the wood employed sequesters 36.83 metric tons of CO2 per glamping unit. This surpasses the carbon emissions entailed throughout the entirety of the glamping life cycle, ranging from 9.97 to 11.72 metric tons of carbon. Remarkably, a single wood-incorporated glamping structure has the capacity to sequester approximately 25 metric tons of carbon within a span of 50 years. In summary, the investigation underscores the capacity of responsibly sourced timber to function as a carbon reservoir, proficiently counterbalancing emissions across the entirety of the construction life cycle. The findings underscore the importance of sustainably sourced wood in achieving carbon neutrality and provide valuable insights for promoting sustainable building practices. This methodology has broad applicability beyond glamping structures, holding potential for replication and scalability across various sectors and regions, thereby contributing to global efforts towards mitigating climate change and fostering positive environmental change.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su16072906","authors":["Tihamér Tibor Sebestyén"],"tags":["Carbon footprint","Life-cycle assessment","Footprint","Environmental science","Carbon fibers"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su16072906","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401059553","name":"The Synergistic Effect of Aramid Nanofibers and Carbon Nanotubes on Micro‐Silicon Anodes for Improved Stability and Conductivity","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Despite the continuous development of energy storage, the challenges faced by micro‐silicon anode pulverization have yet to be effectively addressed.

Here, we review the current state of knowledge about physiological and ecological responses, with the aim of providing a framework that can help to guide future experimental research. Modelling studies have indicated that elevated ca can potentially stimulate photosynthesis more in the tropics than at higher latitudes, because suppression of photorespiration by elevated ca increases with temperature. However, canopy leaves in tropical forests could also potentially reach a high temperature threshold under elevated ca that will moderate the rise in photosynthesis. Belowground responses, including fine root production, nutrient foraging and soil organic matter processing, will be especially important to the integrated ecosystem response to elevated ca. Water use efficiency will increase as ca rises, potentially impacting upon soil moisture status and nutrient availability. Recruitment may be differentially altered for some functional groups, potentially decreasing ecosystem carbon storage.

However, uncertainty regarding the mechanisms and magnitudes through which earthworms concurrently influence SOC mineralization and stabilization has limited the integration of soil fauna into carbon models. Here, we synthesize 696 paired observations from 122 studies worldwide to resolve this uncertainty. On average, earthworms increase SOC by 5.4% (95% CI: 2.2%-9.1%), with effects strengthening over time under sustained plant-derived carbon inputs. Earthworms enhance mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) by 21.2%, while particulate organic carbon (POC) remains unchanged. These patterns suggest that earthworm activity promotes a transition from short-term carbon mineralization to long-term stabilization, likely mediated by the coupling of microbial processing and physical protection. Specifically, epigeic earthworms boost microbial biomass carbon, whereas endogeic species enhance macroaggregate formation, facilitating the incorporation of microbial necromass into MAOC. The magnitude and direction of these effects depend on sustained carbon inputs and earthworm functional type. Collectively, these results reconcile decades of conflicting evidence and provide the first quantitative global synthesis showing that earthworms increased soil carbon over time under sustained plant carbon inputs. This microbial-mineral formation pathway has direct implications for climate-smart land management, soil biodiversity conservation, and the representation of earthworm bioturbation in global carbon models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70815","authors":["Yuanyuan Li","Jiahui Liao","Peter B.

Here, trimethylsulfoxonium bromide (TMSO), a nonquaternary ammonium salt, is introduced as a bromine complexing agent to extend the cycle life of ZBSFBs by reducing the imbalance of active substances. Benefiting from the strong interaction between TMSO and H 2 O, the hydrogen evolution reaction is notably suppressed compared with the traditional N‐ethyl‐N‐methyl‐pyrrolidinium bromide (MEP) complexing agent, resulting in reduced bromine accumulation at the cathode.

In addition, benefiting from the thermally enhanced phosphorescence property of CND, a warning indicator with an anti-counterfeiting function for monitoring cold-chain logistics is demonstrated based on CND.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.202312218","authors":["Ya‐Chuan Liang","Hao‐Chun Shao","Kai‐Kai Liu","Qing Cao","Liying Jiang","Chongxin Shan","Le‐Man Kuang","Hui Jing"],"tags":["Phosphorescence","Materials science","Luminescence","Quenching (fluorescence)","Desorption"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.202312218","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403870378","name":"Study on the Effect of Cyclic Loading on the Geomechanics of Sandstone Reservoirs in Gas Storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"In the implementation process of carbon capture and storage (CCS), the geomechanical problems arising from the cyclic injection of carbon dioxide into the formation cannot be ignored. To clarify the influence of cyclic loading on the geomechanics properties of reservoir rocks, cyclic loading tests were carried out on rocks in sandstone reservoirs with the RTR‐2000 Rock Mechanics Test System, and the evolution of compressive strength, elastic modulus, and Poisson’s ratio parameters was analyzed, which revealed the law of the geomechanical deterioration and damage evolution of sandstone reservoirs under cyclic loading. The results show that under the same cyclic load, when the number of cycles is increased to a certain degree, the influence on the peak strength is small. As the number of cycles increases, the modulus of elasticity of rock appears to be increasing and then decreasing, whereas a rapid increase in Poisson’s ratio and a slow increase in Poisson’s ratio occur with the increase in the number of cycles. Under the same number of cycles, the peak strength of the core gradually decreased with the increase of the maximum cyclic stress. When the cyclic load was smaller than the yield stress of the core, the effect of cyclic loading on the strength of the core was small, and when the cyclic load was larger than the yield stress, the effect of cyclic loading on the strength increased significantly. With the increase of cyclic load, the modulus of elasticity showed a tendency to increase and then decrease, and Poisson’s ratio had a tendency of decreasing and the overall degree of change was small.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2024/8833360","authors":["Zhao Xiao-long","Zhao Yizhong","Wang Dongying","Zhuyu Zhao","Deng Yue","Chuanliang Yan","Gang Chen","Liang Wei","Lv Zehao"],"tags":["Geomechanics","Petroleum engineering","Geology","Geotechnical engineering","Petrology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2024/8833360","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405737816","name":"Biomass Refined: 99% of Organic Carbon in Soils","source":"openalex","abstract":"Basic inventory is required for proper understanding and utilization of Earth’s natural resources, especially with increasing soil degradation and species loss.

Disparity is due to lack of full soil depth survey, neglect of terrain, and other omissions. Herein, totals for mineral soils, Permafrost, and Peat (of all forms and ages), are determined to full depth (easily doubling shallow values), then raised for terrain that is ignored in all terrestrial models (doubling most values again), plus SOC in recalcitrant glomalin (+25%) and friable saprock (+26%). Additional factors include soil inorganic carbon (SIC some of biotic origin), aquatic sediments (SeOC), and dissolved fractions (DIC/DOC).

Particularly, Nb‐based dichalcogenides and MXenes offer enhanced electrochemical performance for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors (SCs) applications because of their layered structure.

Determining the distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) in subsoil (20–100 cm depth) is important with respect to the global C cycle and warming mitigation. However, significant knowledge gaps remain regarding the spatiotemporal dynamics of SOC within this layer.

The estimated subsoil SOC densities were 62 Mg ha−1 (95 % CI: 52–73) for cropland, 70 Mg ha−1 (95 % CI: 57–83) for grassland, and 97 Mg ha−1 (95 % CI: 80–117) for forestland. SOC density exhibited a consistent decline with depth, ranging from 30 to 5 Mg ha−1 in cropland, 32 to 7 Mg ha−1 in grassland, and 40 to 13 Mg ha−1 in forestland, across 20 cm depth increments from 20 to 100 cm.

The study addresses two independent objectives: minimizing energy losses in the distribution network and reducing carbon dioxide emissions from dispatchable power sources. The problem is formulated using a full AC power flow model that simultaneously manages active and reactive power flows in BESS located in the microgrid, while enforcing detailed operational constraints for network components, generation units, and storage systems. To solve it, a parallel implementation of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PPSO) algorithm is applied. The PPSO is integrated into the objective functions and evaluated through a 24-h scheduling horizon, incorporating a strict penalty scheme to guarantee compliance with technical and operational limits. The proposed method generates coordinated charging and discharging plans for multiple BESS units, ensuring voltage stability, current limits, and optimal reactive power support in both operating modes. Tests are conducted on a 33-node benchmark microgrid that represents the power demand and generation from Medellín, Colombia.

Northern ecosystems are undergoing accelerated climate warming, with average temperature increases exceeding the global mean. In snow-dominated catchments, where cold-season conditions are essential for sustaining streamflow across subsequent seasons, substantial uncertainty persists regarding the impacts of future warming on catchment water storage and runoff dynamics. Here, we utilized 40 years of hydrological data from the boreal Krycklan Catchment, set within a 130-year climate record from a nearby station, to evaluate how 27 extreme climate indices can capture changes and trends in water storage and stream low flow during winter and summer. Our results show that annual temperatures have risen by 2.2 °C over the past 4 decades, with even more pronounced seasonal impacts. Notably, six winter extreme indices and two summer indices revealed distinct trends. We found that warm winters have led to increased winter stream runoff but reduced summer runoff. Predictive modelling indicated that the accumulated freezing degree days (AFDD<0) were the strongest predictor of minimum winter flow, while a combination of AFDD<0 and maximum summer temperature (MaxTmax) best explained variations in minimum summer flow. Furthermore, analysis of streamflow partitioning using water isotopes and the seasonal origin index (SOI) over the past 22 years revealed an increasing winter precipitation signal in winter runoff, accompanied by a declining contribution to summer streamflow.

Here, by combining two atmospheric chemistry models and two process-based terrestrial ecosystem models constrained using nationwide measurements, we show that atmospheric nitrogen deposition in China’s terrestrial land will decrease by 44–57% following two emission control scenarios including one aiming at carbon neutrality. They consequently result in a pronounced shrinkage in terrestrial net ecosystem production, by 11–20% depending on models and emission scenarios. Our results indicate that the nitrogen emission reductions accompanying decarbonization would undermine natural carbon sinks and in turn set back progress toward carbon neutrality. This unintended impact calls for great concern about the trade-offs between nitrogen management and carbon neutrality. This study demonstrates that driven by China’s pollution control and carbon reduction policies, projected reduction of reactive nitrogen inputs from the atmosphere into terrestrial ecosystems can suppress terrestrial carbon sinks by 20%.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-52152-5","authors":["Fang Shang","Mingxu Liu","Yu Song","Xingjie Lu","Qiang Zhang","Hitoshi Matsui","Lingli Liu","Aijun Ding","Xin Huang","Xuejun Liu","Junji Cao","Zifa Wang"],"tags":["Carbon fibers","Environmental science","Nitrogen","Carbon sink","China"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-52152-5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407750115","name":"Understanding the embodied carbon credentials of modern methods of construction","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study assesses the embodied carbon credentials of modern methods of construction (MMC) by conducting a critical literature review and synthesis of the findings. While several studies have reviewed the broader impacts of MMC, no other study to date has comprehensively reviewed the embodied carbon credentials of this construction typology. Since MMC is not an internationally recognised term, the assessment is inclusive of other terminology used in different parts of the world – e.g. prefabrication, off-site construction and industrialised construction. The study captures 250 separate studies and distils these to a final sample set of 41 studies and a total of 82 case study comparisons. Although a general perception exists that the adoption of MMC results in embodied carbon savings, the evidence to support this claim is not robust. The results from individual case studies range significantly in both direction and magnitude, and, in the absence of a critical review, considerably different conclusions can be drawn. Upon critique and synthesis of the published studies, it is found that the adoption of MMC has no significant positive, or negative, impact on the embodied carbon of a building. Policy relevance MMC have been widely cited as the answer to housing shortages and productivity issues in the construction industry more broadly. They have subsequently attracted political attention and implementation in many regions. Embodied carbon is another topic of continued debate in built environment policy. There is a somewhat hopeful assumption that the adoption of MMC will reduce embodied carbon. But, to date, the evidence to arrive at that assumption has been inconsistent. The literature that compares MMC with traditional construction varies considerably. It is found that there is no broad link between MMC and reduced embodied carbon. Reducing the embodied carbon of buildings requires assessment on a case-by-case basis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5334/bc.515","authors":["Richard O′Hegarty","Aislinn McCarthy","Jack O’Hagan","Thanat Thanapornpakornsin","Samar Raffoul","Oliver Kinnane"],"tags":["Embodied cognition","Nanotechnology","Computer science","Materials science","Artificial intelligence"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5334/bc.515","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.333Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W4308201946","name":"Emerging concepts in carbon dioxide storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Finding means of storing and transporting captured carbon dioxide (CO2) has become increasingly important. Not all capture technologies (sources) can be co-located with sequestration options (sinks), and the development of an expansive CO2 pipeline network to connect sources and sinks requires significant time and capital. Additionally, temporary storage of CO2 in a solid or liquid state could prove useful for allowing today’s capture technologies to come online before permanent and ideally lucrative CO2 sequestration options open up. There are several methods for reversible solid-state and chemical CO2 storage, but their advantages and limitations have yet to be reviewed. This article focuses on the physical and chemical aspects of CO2 storage via liquid and solid chemical carriers and sorbents, and gives an overview of the energetics around their use, as well as prospects for their future development. Exciting opportunities for co-transporting hydrogen with CO2, for energy efficient long-distance transportation, and for coupling capture and multi-year storage could open up new options for carbon supply chains. Key findings of the analysis are the remarkable storage capacity of oxalic acid and formic acid (CO2-density of 1857 kg/m3 and 1152 kg/m3, compared with condensed liquid CO2 at 993–1096 kg/m3, respectively), the relative scalability and compatibility of carbonate salts for stationary storage with direct air capture, and the potential promise of multiple carriers for CO2 transportation.

This study investigates the decarbonization trajectories of five major economies and significant carbon emitters: the United States of America (USA), China, Japan, Germany, and India. We focus on evaluating two decarbonization scenarios for power generation. Scenario 1 explores the use of a generic storage system for reducing critical excess electricity production (CEEP), maintaining the same thermal power plant capacity as in the reference year 2021. In contrast, Scenario 2 models thermal power plants to meet the exact electricity demand without introducing a new electricity storage system. The primary aim is to assess the feasibility and implications of achieving a 100% share of renewable and nuclear energy by 2030 and 2050 in these countries. EnergyPLAN software was utilized to model and simulate the electricity systems of these countries. The two scenarios represent different degrees of renewable energy integration, demonstrating possible transitional pathways towards an environmentally friendly electricity generation system. The study provides a comparative analysis of the outcomes for each country, focusing on carbon emissions reduction and the impact on annual total costs in 2030 and 2050. Results show that by 2030, China could reduce its emissions by 88.5% and 85.14% in Scenarios 1 and 2, relative to 2021 levels. From the two scenarios considered in all the countries, India records the highest percentage reduction while Germany has the least percentage emission in reference to 2021, with a potential decrease of 90.63% and 52.42% respectively. By 2050, carbon emissions in the USA will be reduced by 83% and 79.8% using Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 decarbonization pathways.

This work explores the possibility of using the carbonaceous char as a precursor for the preparation of porous activated carbons for environmental application as CO2 adsorbent and biogas upgrading. The effect of the pyrolysis temperature (450 or 500 ºC) on the obtained chars has been assessed for the benefits in the second stage of chemical activation, exploring the possibility of the use of diverse chemical agents. The composition, textural, and surface properties of the porous materials were characterized. N2 isotherms showed that the char prepared at 500 ºC provided the best textural properties with a performance of K2CO3 ∼ KOH > Na2CO3 > NaOH > ZnCl2 > FeCl3. Isotherms of CO2 adsorption showed that the activation with K2CO3 displayed the best uptake (130.2 mg g−1 at 273 K), closely followed by KOH (125.0 mg g−1 at 273 K), also confirmed by dynamic tests in a fixed bed column configuration. The uptake was well correlated with the ultramicropore volume and the oxygenated functional groups. The CO2 and CH4 adsorption were studied either in static or dynamic assays.

The latter is mainly attributed to the polarization-induced physical interactions of molecular hydrogen with the dispersed Li, rather than chemical interactions by dissociative chemisorption (spillover) or hydride-based binding that dominate the transition metal, Pd-AC and Pt-AC, analogues.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.5c02269","authors":["Anish Mathai Varghese","K.

We investigated how large and uncertain TCCs of wood use per carbon harvested are considering the current and alternative ways of using wood, and the effects of the decarbonization of societies over 25‐, 50‐, and 100‐year time horizons. We applied stochastic simulation and scenario analysis using Finnish market structure as a baseline to demonstrate the use of the TCC calculator created. The mean value of TCCs of wood use were between 0.2 and 0.5 tC/tC with an uncertainty range from 0.1 to 0.8 tC/tC, depending on the scenario. The uncertainties were mainly concerned with the extent to which (1) fossil‐based emissions are avoided through substitution (displacement factors) and (2) fossil‐based raw materials are substituted (substitution rates). Assumptions on the decarbonization of societies reduced TCCs of wood use significantly over time. TCCs of wood use can be increased by directing wood into uses that substitute fossil‐intensive materials and have a long lifetime, such as construction materials, and increasing energy recovery and avoiding emitting carbon at the end of life of harvested wood products by carbon capture and storage. However, they were very likely to be considerably lower than forest carbon debits resulting from harvesting additional wood for substitution under all considered circumstances and under a wide but reasonable range of stochastic parameter values. Thus, the result emphasizes the need to reduce overall consumption of goods to mitigate climate change.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcbb.70017","authors":["Jari Niemi","Sampo Soimakallio","Elias Hurmekoski","Tanja Myllyviita","Janni Kunttu","Federico Lingua","Tord Snäll"],"tags":["Carbon sequestration","Carbon fibers","Greenhouse gas","Renewable energy","Raw material"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcbb.70017","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409250791","name":"A techno-economic assessment of carbon dioxide removal pathways via biochemical conversion of lignocellulose to biofuels and bioplastics","source":"openalex","abstract":"Biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRS) is a promising pathway to mitigate climate change via large scale removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). We modeled several fermentation technologies, producing a variety of bioproducts from lignocellulosic feedstocks , to understand their levelized cost of CO 2 removal under multiple scenarios. Lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are accounted to provide cradle-to-grave estimates of carbon intensity (CI). We did not account for the avoided fossil CO 2 emissions from the use of biofuels in our CO 2 removal cost calculations, because avoided emissions do not contribute to CO 2 removal. The main products from the fermentation technologies we modeled include renewable diesel , ethanol, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and polyethylene (PE), with co-products including CO 2 , adipic acid , steam, and electricity. PE, depending on its end-of-life management, can serve as a form of biogenic carbon storage . PE has the potential to remove 1.2–1.5 tCO 2 per dry t-biomass, whereas biofuels have the potential to remove 0.3–0.9 tCO 2 per dry t-biomass, indicating that PE production is a more efficient method of carbon removal. We quantify costs of CO 2 removal to be $60 – $675 per metric tCO 2 removed across the various fermentation pathways. Under the scenarios analyzed, bioplastic production from lignocellulosic biomass is a more cost-effective route to CO 2 removal than biofuel production, with costs of CO 2 removal via bioplastics being 50–90 % lower than that of biofuels.

We detect signatures of this feedback in the global ocean for the first time using repeat hydrographic measurements and seawater property prediction algorithms. Over the course of the past 30 years, we find an increase in global surface A T of 0.072 ± 0.023 μmol kg −1 yr −1 , which would have caused approximately 20 Tmol of additional A T to accumulate in the surface ocean. This finding suggests that anthropogenic CO 2 emissions are measurably perturbing the cycling of carbon on a planetary scale by disrupting biological patterns. More observations of A T would be required to understand the effects of this feedback on a regional basis and to fully characterize its potential to reduce the efficiency of marine carbon dioxide removal technology.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024gb008358","authors":["Reese C.

This study reviews thermal energy storage (TES) and Power-to-X (P2X) technologies for applications without thermal grids, assessing their feasibility, state of the art, opportunities, and challenges. Underground TES (UTES), such as aquifer and borehole storage, offer 1–26 times lower annual heat storage costs than above-ground tanks. For P2X, hydrogen storage in salt caverns is 80% less expensive than in high-pressure tanks. Methane and methanol storage costs depend on CO2 sourcing, while Renewable Metal Energy Carriers (ReMECs), such as aluminum and iron, offer high energy density and up to 580 times lower storage volume, with aluminum potentially achieving the lowest Levelized Cost of X Storage (LCOXS) at a rate of 180 EUR/MWh of energy discharged. Underground TES and hydrogen caverns are cost-effective but face spatial/geological constraints. P2X alternatives have established infrastructure but have lower efficiency, whereas ReMECs show promise for large-scale storage. However, economic viability remains a challenge due to very few annual cycles, which require significant reductions of investment cost and annual cost of capital (CAPEX), as well as improvements in overall system efficiency to minimize losses.

Prior studies on crushed Marcellus shale, a potential caprock, indicate that cyclic hydrogen injection and depletion induces microstructural changes, increasing porosity and permeability. However, the extent of these changes in intact shale remains unclear. This study presents a strain-based experimental approach to quantify volumetric strain evolution in intact Marcellus shale matrix under unconstrained stress conditions. A quadrant-shaped shale sample without visible fractures underwent eight hydrostatic pore-pressure cycles (injection to 1500 psi and depletion to 500 psi in 250 psi steps). Linear strain gauges measured strain in three orthogonal directions. Results indicate progressive plastic strain accumulation, leading to an ∼12% increase in matrix porosity after eight cycles, with an estimated 19% increase after 30 cycles. This porosity increase follows a logarithmic trend, suggesting a diminishing effect in later cycles. Additionally, permeability and diffusive mass flux are projected to rise by ∼70% over 30 cycles, enhancing hydrogen migration risk. The shale matrix also exhibited mechanical stiffening over successive cycles, limiting large-scale deformation but not preventing porosity enhancement. A new parameter, α, was introduced to characterize shale sensitivity to cyclic loading, aiding UHS caprock assessments. These findings underscore the necessity of incorporating cyclic loading effects in UHS site selection and operational strategies to ensure long-term storage integrity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5c00783","authors":["Abduljeleel Ajibona","Rohit Pandey"],"tags":["Caprock","Oil shale","Petroleum engineering","Geology","Shale gas"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-27","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5c00783","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405805811","name":"Recent progress on covalent organic frameworks and their composites as electrode materials for supercapacitors","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s42114-024-01177-x","authors":["Ruidong Li","Jie Li","Qianwen Liu","Tingxi Li","Di Lan","Yong Ma"],"tags":["Supercapacitor","Expansive","Nanotechnology","Capacitive sensing","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s42114-024-01177-x","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:59:14.455Z"},{"id":"oa:W3111644277","name":"Green New Deal Policy of South Korea: Policy Innovation for a Sustainability Transition","source":"openalex","abstract":"This paper explores the recently announced “Green New Deal” policy of South Korea as a sustainability transition strategy.

However, nearly all studies have involved whole-leaf analysis, and it is unclear how the trade-off operates mechanistically, at the cellular level. Here we combined leaf trait measurements and microscopic analyses (electron microscopy with elemental X-ray mapping and X-ray microtomography) of 17 species from a high-Si family: Cyperaceae. Accumulation of Si was strongly negatively correlated with C-based compounds, particularly tannins. Our microscopical investigations showed that the accumulation of phenolics and deposition of silica were mutually exclusive in the outer epidermal cell walls. This trade-off was independent of that between the construction of tough, sclerenchyma-rich leaves and growth potential (the leaf economics spectrum). We also identified a strong negative correlation between Si and accumulation of epicuticular waxes. Previous whole leaf analyses were, in effect, hiding the locations of the trade-off between Si and C-based compounds in plants. The epidermal location of this trade-off and the specific involvement of tannins and waxes suggest the existence of different strategies to resist environmental stresses.

The well‐to‐wheel greenhouse gas emissions of a propulsion system are determined by two factors, that is, the energy efficiency of the system and the carbon intensity of the energy source. Regardless of the CO 2 emission generated during the battery manufacturing and recycling process, the carbon intensity of the battery electric vehicles during operation is mainly decided by the carbon intensity of the electricity being consumed. The relatively low fleet ratios of battery electric and hydrogen‐powered vehicles and the massive remaining useful life of current internal combustion engine vehicle stock limit their impact on decarbonization in the near term. The expansion of charging infrastructure requires significant acceleration for the success of large‐scale and rapid electric vehicle adoption.

The novel composite PCMs were designed and synthesized by incorporating Methyl stearate (MtS) as the PCM with pristine activated carbon derived from coconut shells (CAC) and thermally enhanced CAC@Graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) hybrid matrices. Particularly, the combination of CAC90@GnP10/MtS allowed the composite PCM to exhibit excellent thermophysical responses, capitalizing on the unique properties and synergistic effects of each component. The resulting composite PCM from this combination demonstrated remarkable performance, with a high loading ratio of 70% and a latent heat of 160.87 J/g, which is 27.52% higher than that of the pristine CAC-supported PCM. The test results indicated that the chemical and crystal structure of MtS remained unaffected after the composite formation. The thermal conductivity of CAC90@GnP10/MtS was found to be 102.85% higher than CAC/MtS and 195.83% higher than MtS alone. The enhancement in thermal conductivity was further validated through observed reductions in melting and solidification times, as well as analysis using infrared thermal imaging. In conclusion, the development of these intelligent, multifunctional composite PCMs, which utilize CAC@GnP hybrids as supporter scaffolds and thermal conductivity enhancers for MtS, holds great promise for effective sustainable energy usage and thermal energy management systems in various fields like waste heat utilization, energy-saving buildings, constant temperature protection, thermal management of electronic devices, aerospace industry, textiles, automotive, and renewable energy systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15567036.2024.2390112","authors":["Gökhan Hekimoğlu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-09T09:29:46Z","doi":"10.1080/15567036.2024.2390112","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.5069382","name":"Carbon-Neutral Polygeneration in Waste-to-Energy Plants: Techno-Economic Study Using Carbon Capture and Utilization","source":"crossref","abstract":"Waste-to-energy (WtE) plants play a key role in waste management worldwide by providing a solution for the waste disposal, generating electric power, and supplying heat for district heating and industrial processes. Efficient CO2 capture solutions are required to abate the CO2 emissions from WtE facilities. Nevertheless, most capture processes entail high economic penalties. In this work, we introduce two highly integrated concepts for avoiding CO2 emissions. One concept uses carbon capture and storage (CCS), while the other consists of carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS). CO2 capture is performed using a carbonate looping (CaL) process and utilization involves direct methanol synthesis. The CCUS concepts are analyzed for retrofitting a German WtE plant, which treats 200 kt of waste per year. We perform a techno-economic assessment that includes process modeling using the software Aspen Plus. The results show that the retrofitting concepts with polygeneration have the potential to reduce CO2 emissions in a cost-efficient manner. The solutions can be retrofitted with lower footprint than other capture technologies due to the combustion of pretreated waste in the capture unit. The cost of CO2 transport and storage is a main driver for the project costs. Producing methanol from captured CO2 and H2 is only feasible in scenarios with very low electricity costs (&amp;lt; 25 €/MWh). In other scenarios, it is more profitable to transport and store CO2 in geological sites (CCS). The avoidance costs of the CCS concept, including transport and storage, are approximately 65 €/tCO2,av, making it competitive with the current price of CO2 certificates in the European Union.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5069382","authors":["Martin Greco-Coppi","Nelly Eisenbach","Manuel-Daniel Kurkunc","Markus Sattler","Nils Roloff","Jochen Ströhle","Bernd Epple"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-06T13:07:28Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.5069382","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.202573054","name":"Evaluating Containment Integrity and Fault Slip Risk for CO2 Storage in a Complex Tectonic Setting, India","source":"crossref","abstract":"Summary This study evaluates the containment integrity and fault slip risk for CO2 geological storage in the Naharkatiya field, Upper Assam Basin. Leveraging the region’s depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, well-developed infrastructure, and subsurface datasets, the study supports Assam’s suitability for long-term CO2 sequestration. A comprehensive workflow integrates seismic data interpretation, structural mapping, and geomechanical modelling to assess the risk of fault reactivation and CO2 containment breach. Key reservoir formations demonstrate favourable porosity and permeability, with sealing provided by the regional shale and claystones. The study identifies complex fault systems, including northeast-southwest trending major and orthogonal minor faults, influencing reservoir compartmentalization and potential leakage pathways. Fault Slip Potential (FSP) analysis, conducted under varying CO2 and water injection scenarios, highlights that containment is most vulnerable under high-pressure conditions, especially with supercritical CO2 injection rates exceeding 50 million barrels per year. Shorter faults near injection sites exhibit elevated reactivation risks due to their unfavourable orientation within the local stress regime. The results emphasize the importance of optimizing injection strategies and continuous monitoring to maintain caprock integrity and mitigate fault reactivation. The findings contribute to de-risking CO2 storage projects in the structurally complex Upper Assam Basin and align with India’s climate change mitigation efforts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202573054","authors":["S.

The facility is operated by Shell Canada, on behalf of the AOSP Joint Venture (Canadian Natural Upgrading Limited, Chevron Canada Oil Sands Partnership and 1745844 Alberta Limited).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To ensure safe and permanent storage of the CO2 into the Basal Cambrian Sands storage reservoir Quest has implemented a Measurement Monitoring and Verification plan. This plan is updated every three years and is developed based on four main principles: risk-based, site-specific, ensuring regulatory compliance, and adaptive. The primary focus of this paper is to review observations from the seismic technologies deployed as part of the subsurface monitoring to verify containment and conformance of the injected CO2. In addition, the authors propose potential underlying geologic drivers controlling plume development.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Early seismic-based plume imaging consisted of Distributed Acoustic Sensing Vertical Seismic Profile (DAS VSP) surveys acquired utilizing single mode fibre cemented behind casing in each of the three injector wells. Shot lines extend radially along eight azimuths from the injection wells to a distance of 2.5 kilometres offset from each of the injector wells. This allows for cost effective, reliable and repeatable imaging area at the storage reservoir depth of approximately 800 to 1000m laterally from the injection wellbores. DAS VSP has enabled robust early plume growth monitoring on a repeat frequency of every one to two years for approximately the first six years of injection at each well [1].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In 2021, Quest performed its first repeat 3D surface seismic survey covering 100 square kilometres of the 400 square kilometre baseline 3D seismic survey.

Initial observations of the surface seismic time-lapse response verified time-lapse DAS VSP observations of plume response elongation in the NE/SW orientation.&lt;br&gt;Dynamic plume modelling indicates that reservoir quality is the primary driver for this plume elongation. The NE/SW trend is likely associated with the presence and orientation of high energy dunes, a sandstone lithofacies that exhibits characteristics significantly above average reservoir quality.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In cross section, the vertical extent of the plume at injection wells 2 and 3 can be estimated using the 4D difference cubes derived from the 3D surface seismic data. In both wells, observations suggest that the upward migration of the CO2 plume may have slowed before reaching the top of the BCS. Cross-referencing the observed time-lapse response with well log data supports an interpretation that, despite an interpreted Net/Gross ratio close to one, there is a hypothesis that very thin mudstones and heterolithics in the upper part of the BCS (Proximal Bay) may act as baffles or barriers to CO2 as it migrates upwards through the reservoir.

Previous studies have predominantly focused on long-term network design, focused on source-sink matching with static data, paying limited attention to the short-term interactions among diverse stakeholders. To address this gap, this work introduces a novel multi-agent system (MAS) framework termed MAS-CCUS, which simulates and optimises CCUS network operations at short time intervals. The proposed framework adopts a two-layer structure, integrating a decision layer with a physical layer. Within the decision layer, agents function as virtual decision-makers, controlling their corresponding physical assets while considering engineering constraints, business models, and market conditions. Concurrently, the physical agents simulate the CO2 flow according to the instructions of the decision layer. By employing simplified proxy models in the physical layer to approximate complex processes such as subsurface CO2 injection, the framework more accurately captures short-term fluctuations and uncertainties, thereby reflecting realistic system dynamics. A case study on the UK’s Teesside industrial cluster demonstrates how the MAS-CCUS can improve coordination, ensure safe and efficient operations, and achieve balanced economic outcomes for stakeholders.

This study emphasizes the permanent storage of CO2 by enabling its conversion into solid carbonates via the mineralization of basaltic rocks under low-energy, ambient conditions. The process is enhanced by a pH-swing treatment, where the acidic phase (HCl) promotes the dissolution of target minerals, releasing magnesium, calcium, and iron cations. Subsequently, the basic phase (NaOH) induces carbonate precipitation in the presence of dissolved CO2. XRF analysis of materials from each stage reveals that silicon remains largely unreacted in the original rock, while magnesium effectively dominates the combination with CO2 to form magnesium carbonate compounds. Iron, in contrast, precipitates distinctly when the solution pH is increased to 5–9. These findings deepen the understanding of CO2 interactions with natural basaltic minerals, paving the way for more efficient carbon mineralization processes that could significantly advance carbon capture and sequestration technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202573013","authors":["K.

By conducting a comprehensive techno-economic assessment of principal capture points within the gas processing line-up, this paper aims to provide valuable insights to address this specific challenge. In this study, we will evaluate capturing CO2 (pre or post combustion) from various points within a standard natural gas treating line-up consisting of an acid gas removal unit (AGRU), acid gas enrichment unit (AGEU), sulphur recovery unit (SRU), tail gas treating unit (TGTU), and incinerator. Real-world scenarios encountered by Shell Catalysts &amp; Technologies’ customers inform our assessment, drawing upon simulations and designs developed by our team. For instance, recent projects like the one at Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, capturing CO2 post combustion from the TGTU, contribute valuable insights to our analysis. The paper will conclude that the optimal location varies according to a wide range of factors, including the composition of the feed gas, particularly the levels of sulphur, and plant-specific requirements such as sulphur recovery efficiency and environmental regulations. Crucially, we will also provide insights into the circumstances favouring each capture point. For example, the AGRU is advantaged for high-pressure CO2 capture, contingent upon very low sulphur content in the feed gas. However, there are circumstances in which the AGEU, with the right solvent, could be more effective, especially as it could achieve the twin purpose of preparing acid gas that is suitable for the SRU and generating a CO2 stream fit for sequestration. Such insights are crucial for operators seeking to implement an effective carbon capture project. Carbon capture at gas processing facilities is relatively new, and uncertainty prevails in pinpointing the optimal location for CO2 capture. By tackling this challenge, this paper offers valuable, practical guidance for operators navigating the complexities of decarbonising gas processing facilities. It contributes to the evolving understanding of carbon capture technologies, facilitating more informed decision-making within the energy industry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/222818-ms","authors":["Srihari Kannan","Isabel Conradus"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-04T00:17:47Z","doi":"10.2118/222818-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/d5ee01732g/v2/decision1","name":"Decision letter for \"An Ecosystem of Carbon Dioxide Removal Reviews - Part 1: Direct Air CO2 Capture and Storage\"","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5ee01732g/v2/decision1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-01T21:17:36Z","doi":"10.1039/d5ee01732g/v2/decision1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100255","name":"High temperature capture of CO2 on Li4SiO4 sorbents via a simple dry ball-milling coupled with K2CO3 physical addition","source":"crossref","abstract":"The reversible CO2 absorption/desorption of lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4) sorbents holds potential for high temperature capture of CO2 from hot flue gases, sorption-enhanced reforming and solar thermochemical energy storage.

Their use for portable applications such as on-board storage of natural gas for vehicles began thereafter because of their light weight.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003348283-7","authors":["Olayinka I.

While a score of publications investigated CO2 storage via structural, residual and dissolution trapping mechanisms, mineral trapping potential has not been investigated much, especially in basaltic formations. This paper thus provides new insights into the dynamics of CO2 storage by mineral trapping pertinent to basaltic formation.

Various decarbonisation strategies are currently being explored to mitigate these emissions. This paper combines process simulation with life cycle assessment to estimate the environmental impacts of different BFG decarbonisation scenarios involving carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) and carbon capture and storage (CCS). For CCU scenarios, a novel approach is considered that valorises BFG into transport fuels, utilising chemical looping with reverse water-gas shift reaction (CL-RWGS) followed by the Fischer-Tropsch process. For CCS, two pre-combustion capture processes are evaluated. The results indicate that the CCU-based scenarios can reduce the climate change impact of steel production by 11-45%, while the CCS scenarios can achieve reductions of 17-34%. However, these reductions come with significant increases in other environmental impacts. In the CCU-based scenarios, freshwater consumption, land use, human toxicity, terrestrial ecotoxicity, ionising radiation, and ozone depletion impacts increase by 60% to as much as 60 times, primarily due to the large quantities of hydrogen required for the CL-RWGS process. Similarly, the energy penalties associated with the CCS process also increase other impacts, though the increases are less pronounced than in the CCU scenarios. Given that the CL-RWGS-based CCU technologies are still in early development stages, further research should focus on improving both the CCU process and hydrogen production methods.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100387","authors":["Harish K.

This highlights the necessity of integrating decarbonization options into their operations to meet global climate objectives. While progress in technologies for capturing, utilizing, and storing CO2 (CCUS technologies) is often attributed to oil and gas companies, CCUS projects in the sector predominantly focus on carbon storage, namely CO2 injection for enhanced oil recovery, which presents limited possibilities. Meanwhile, carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies offer a promising avenue for producing valuable products from CO2, a potential that has been underexplored in theory and practice within the oil and gas sector. This study analyzes the development of the full CCU cycle by oil and gas companies, assessing the economic viability of such projects. It includes a content analysis of research materials on CCU deployment and a case study modeling the economic viability of producing methanol from CO2 in Russia. The findings indicate that the estimated minimum price for CO2-based methanol to achieve project payback is USD 1128 per ton, compared to approximately USD 400 per ton for traditional methanol. This price gap underscores the need to foster the development of low-carbon technologies, markets, and measures to support these projects. In the domain of CCU projects, cost-reduction measures could be more applicable, while regulatory measures, such as carbon taxes, currently have a limited impact on the economic viability of these projects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su16146221","authors":["Alina Cherepovitsyna","Ekaterina Kuznetsova","Aleksandr Popov","Dmitry Skobelev","A.

While in large-capacity natural gas transmission systems, reaching maximum operating pressures during line packing is usually not of practical concern, however, in small capacity pipelines transporting low-compressibility fluids, such as liquid or dense-phase CO2, line packing can occur quickly, and therefore, estimating the line packing times becomes important to ensure avoiding exceeding the pipeline maximum allowable operating pressure. In this study, a correlation for estimating the line packing time is derived from the transient mass balance in the pipeline. The proposed correlation accounts for the pipeline overall dimensions, operating pressure and temperature, and the fluid properties, namely density and the expansion coefficient. The correlation is also adopted for the calculation of pipeline unpacking times caused by unbalanced discharge from a pipeline. A verification study on line packing in a dense-phase CO2 pipeline shows that within the ranges tested, the proposed correlation estimates conservatively the line packing times with ca. 15% deviation from the results of simulations obtained using a rigorous transient pipeline flow model. The proposed correlation is also verified against predictions obtained using a parabolic flow model and is recommended for estimating line packing times for both dense-phase and gas-phase CO2 at pressures and temperatures in the ranges 2 - 12 MPa and 280 – 330 K, respectively.

The most dominant CO2 emissions originate from flue gases that contain diluted concentrations of CO2 emitted from combustion and industrial processes. Conventional capture technologies such as amine scrubbing are impeded by their high energy demand due to the thermodynamically low driving force for desorbing CO2. A new concept is here presented that exploits the robustness of microbial catalysts to simultaneously desorb the CO2 from an amine-based absorbent and convert the captured CO2 to biomethane (CH4) in a single step by the use of renewable hydrogen. The concept combines carbon capture with that of power-to-methane, to hereby abate CO2 emissions and use the captured CO2 as a resource. Experimental results of the conceptual design in batch reactors demonstrated high microbial biocompatibility with amine methyl diethanolamine (MDEA). The biocompatibility was examined in the range of 0 – 500 mM MDEA, and the system demonstrated almost full bioavailability of the absorbed CO2 until 120 mM of MDEA. Within this range, the CH4 productivity ranged from 40.7 - 63.6 NmLCH4 L-1culture h-1 from synthetically absorbed CO2 with a maximum conversion 1.77 times higher than traditional biomethanation with gaseous CO2. Conversion of raw flue gas from a biogas engine resulted in only a slight decrease in conversion efficiency compared to that of pure gasses, which demonstrated that the concept has high robustness to the impurities and oxygen present in raw flue gas.","url":"https://doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2023-1r41c","authors":["Mads Ujarak Sieborg","Lars Ditlev Mørck Ottosen","Michael Vedel Wegener Kofoed"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-03-20T07:51:41Z","doi":"10.26434/chemrxiv-2023-1r41c","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-323-99429-3.00023-0","name":"Industrial carbon dioxide capture and utilization","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-323-99429-3.00023-0","authors":["Uzma Hira","Ahmed Kamal","Javeria Tahir"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-01-27T18:42:13Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-323-99429-3.00023-0","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.apenergy.2024.124833","name":"Agent-based modeling for multimodal transportation of CO2 for carbon capture, utilization, and storage: CCUS-agent","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2024.124833","authors":["Majbah Uddin","Robin J.

Saline aquifers have very large estimated storage capacities, are distributed broadly across the globe, and have the potential for geologic scale retention times. With such large theoretical capacities available in saline aquifers, it is important to understand how heterogeneous rock property distributions can impact the effective storage capacity. Laboratory core flooding experiments injecting CO2 into a saline water saturated Berea sandstone core have been conducted at reservoir conditions. Computed Tomography (CT) scans of the core show large spatial variations of CO2 saturation, even within a relatively homogeneous core. Numerical simulations of the experiment have been conducted to study the effect of sub core-scale heterogeneity, and the role of permeability in determining the sub core-scale saturation distribution in the core. Numerical simulations of the experiment consistently showed that using traditional methods for estimating sub core-scale permeability, typically based solely on porosity distributions, results in sub core-scale saturation distributions which do not match experimental measurements. In this paper we develop a method for calculating sub core-scale permeability distributions based on capillary pressure measurements and porosity as an alternative to the traditional porosity only-based models. Using experimentally measured saturation and porosity distributions, and capillary pressure data to calculate permeability, simulations based on this new method show a substantial improvement both in the magnitude and spatial distribution of predicted saturation values. With this technique for accurately calculating permeability distributions, it is possible to study sub core-scale multiphase flow of brine and CO2 to understand how small scale heterogeneities influence the spatial distribution of CO2 saturation, and to improve our ability to predict storage capacity in saline aquifers.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/126340-ms","authors":["M.

Within this context, the minimum miscibility pressure is a pivotal parameter for effectively screening and evaluating the viability of CO 2 flooding projects.

In ISC processes, air is injected into a heated section of the reservoir. Upon reaching a threshold temperature, oxygen from the injected air reacts with the oil in place to generate heat, a lighter oil fraction, steam and other reaction products such as CO2. This process drives the upgraded oil towards the production wells, but at the same time produces significant amounts of CO2. In this research project we investigate the potential of a novel hybrid ISC and CO2 recovery and re-injection process, where we attempt to maintain the advantages of the ISC process while at the same time reducing the emissions of CO2. The goal of the study is to test the hypothesis that, as long as the re-injection of produced CO2 does not extinguish the combustion front, the overall oil recovery should not be greatly diminished. Numerical investigations of a pseudo 2-D model of this hybrid ISC process, using the CMG STARS simulator, show that recycling CO2 back into the reservoir, to replace some of the air typically injected, can be beneficial for reducing the CO2 production but also for increasing the oil production. We observe that the CO2 recycled into the system dissolves readily into the oil phase resulting in lower viscosity oil and in improved production rates. The results of our numerical simulations provide justification for the proposed combined ISC/CO2-flood process. In this process the ISC provides on site the gas needed for the CO2 flood, and a substantial fraction of the total CO2 produced can be permanently sequestered in the subsurface.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/126687-ms","authors":["Z.

Lignin-derived porous carbons have gained increasing attention for CO2 adsorption application due to their abundant and cost-effective raw material sources. This study involves the synthesis of a series of porous carbons derived from sodium lignosulphonate using chemical activation and template methods. It was found that synthesis methods had significant influence on the properties of the obtained porous carbons, including texture structures and surface functional groups. The pore structure of the carbons obtained through the activation methods primarily consisted of etched channels, while that of the carbons acquired via the template methods predominantly originated from stacked sheet carbon. In comparison to the carbon samples obtained from template methods, chemically-activated porous carbons exhibited higher specific surface areas (1125 m2/g for the ZnCl2-activated sample and 1998.4 m2/g for the KOH-activated sample) and more micropores. The variations in the characteristics of the carbon samples derived from lignin with different synthesis methods also affected their CO2 adsorption performance. The CO2 adsorption capability of the chemically-activated porous carbons indicated their superior suitability for CO2 adsorption due to their higher specific surface area and abundant sulfur- and oxygen-containing functional groups. Notably, the porous carbons prepared with ZnCl2 as the activation agent (C-LS-ZnCl2) exhibited the most remarkable adsorption capacity of 4.45 mmol/g at 273 K and 100 kPa, and high CO2/N2 selectivity. The adsorption-desorption cycles confirmed the remarkable stability and regeneration ability of C-LS-ZnCl2. This study findings suggest that the utilization of the ZnCl2 activation method exhibits significant potential in transforming industrial lignin waste (sodium lignosulphonate) into a suitable adsorbent for CO2 adsorption.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100233","authors":["Jing Zhao","Wenjie Zhang","Qichang Wang","Dekui Shen","Zhanghong Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-27T19:56:28Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100233","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-7908-2154-3_6","name":"Carbon Dioxide-Free Power Stations/Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"In 2003, global emissions from fossil fuel use amounted to 25 GtCO2 (IEA, 2005).

Research Gap – Although land-based CCUS has been extensively studied, research on AI-enabled frameworks for offshore CCUS remains limited. Existing work is often confined to simulations or small-scale pilots, with inadequate attention to adaptive fault-tolerant control, multi-metric performance evaluation, and long-term field validation. Objective – This study aims to develop and validate a smart AI-enabled framework for real-time monitoring, predictive control, and optimization of offshore CCUS networks, with a focus on enhancing safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Methodology – The proposed framework integrates IoT-enabled underwater sensors, autonomous vehicles, satellite imaging, and edge computing with advanced AI models including CNNs, LSTMs, GANs, and reinforcement learning. Validation was performed through a simulation-based case study on an offshore saline aquifer using a digital twin and multi-objective genetic algorithm optimization. Key Findings – The system achieved a 28% reduction in leak detection time, a 31% improvement in injection efficiency, and an 18% reduction in ecological risk compared with conventional monitoring approaches. The digital twin predicted plume migration with 95% accuracy, and robustness tests showed less than 5% performance degradation under sensor faults. Implications – These outcomes demonstrate that AI integration can significantly enhance monitoring, predictive decision-making, and compliance in offshore CCUS systems. The findings provide practical guidance for advancing autonomous and sustainable marine carbon storage, though large-scale deployment will require solutions to data scarcity, energy constraints, and regulatory integration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59429/ace.v8i3.5747","authors":["Dinesh Keloth kaithari","Anant Kaulage","Ayyappadas MT","Puja Gholap","Aarti Puri","Mahesh Ashok Bhandari","Kishor Renukadasrao Pathak","Shital Yashwant Waware","Anant Sidhappa Kurhade"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-17T09:23:14Z","doi":"10.59429/ace.v8i3.5747","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.30574/wjarr.2025.27.1.2599","name":"A Critical Review of the Regulatory and Policy Landscape Governing Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Technologies in the United States: Challenges, Opportunities, and Future Directions","source":"openalex","abstract":"This critical review examines the regulatory and policy landscape governing Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies in the United States, highlighting the challenges, opportunities, and future directions for effective implementation.

At its core, this study revolves around the strategic deployment of sophisticated sound transducers in close proximity to DAC facilities, with the objective of emitting precisely calibrated ultrasound waves falling within the discerning frequency spectrum of 30 kHz to 60 kHz. This frequency range meticulously corresponds to the resonant frequency of CO2 molecules, thereby engendering a remarkable phenomenon wherein CO2 molecules evince heightened directional responsiveness, gravitating with discernible intent towards the focal point of the capture station. Consequently, this orchestrated migration fosters the emergence of localized CO2-enriched zones, engendering a palpable surge in capture efficiency of profound significance. The experimental inquiries embarked upon within this study have been meticulously crafted, drawing upon a rich tapestry of established methodologies culled from the annals of specialized literature. These inquiries meticulously scrutinize an array of gas mixtures, deliberately engineered to encapsulate the diverse compositional permutations emblematic of authentic operational conditions encountered within DAC frameworks. The resultant findings yield a resounding testament to the efficacy of the proposed methodology, with observed enhancements in the separation ratio eclipsing baseline measurements by a formidable order of magnitude in discernible instances. Particularly noteworthy are the scenarios characterized by a compositional makeup of 90% N2 and 10% CO2, wherein the separation ratio ascends to staggering heights surpassing the vaunted threshold of 1000, thus unequivocally affirming the monumental strides achieved in advancing the capture process to unprecedented echelons of proficiency. Moreover, this comprehensive study serves as a veritable crucible for the elucidation of intricate phenomena, chief among them being the nuanced orchestration of collective motion discernible amongst CO2 molecules under the sway of high-frequency sound waves. These revelations serve to underscore the vast expanse of potential ramifications extending across a diverse spectrum of interdisciplinary domains, encompassing but not confined to the realms of geophysics and the avant-garde milieu of environmental technologies. Through the judicious harnessing of the propitious attributes intrinsic to high-frequency sound waves, this pioneering framework beckons forth the promise of catalyzing a seismic paradigm shift within the realm of atmospheric carbon capture, thereby heralding a transformative epoch in the ceaseless global crusade against the specter of climate change and the insidious scourge of atmospheric contamination.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/219390-ms","authors":["A.

The viscosity of carbon dioxide-methane (CO 2 –CH 4 ) binary systems plays a critical role in determining flow behavior, injectivity, and storage efficiency in subsurface formations. However, direct experimental measurements of viscosity are often costly, time-consuming, and constrained by operational limitations. Furthermore, existing predictive correlations frequently exhibit limited accuracy across wide ranges of pressure, temperature, and composition, hindering their application in practical CCUS and EOR scenarios. This study introduces a white-box machine learning framework based on multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP) to predict the viscosity of CO 2 –CH 4 mixtures with enhanced precision. A comprehensive dataset comprising 742 experimental measurements was utilized to construct explicit mathematical correlations as functions of pressure, temperature, and CO 2 mole fraction. Extensive statistical analyses and graphical validations confirmed the high fidelity of the developed models. The MGGP-based schemes achieved a low total RMSE of 2.6343 and an excellent R 2 of 0.9942, outperforming four previously established models. Trend analyses and Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) further reinforced the model’s reliability, highlighting the dominant influence of pressure, followed by CO 2 mole fraction and temperature, on viscosity behavior. The proposed explicit and user-friendly correlations, combining accuracy with interpretability, provide valuable tools for industrial applications, particularly in the simulation, design, and optimization of CCUS and CO 2 -EOR projects under a wide range of operating conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13202-025-02100-w","authors":["Saad Alatefi","Mohamed Riad Youcefi","Menad Nait Amar","Hakim Djema"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-06T03:26:27Z","doi":"10.1007/s13202-025-02100-w","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jcou.2026.103351","name":"Carbon dioxide capture from air in buildings – Design and techno-economic feasibility of practical systems","source":"crossref","abstract":"Direct Air Capture (DAC) is needed alongside other CO 2 removal methods to ensure that the total amount of CO 2 required is removed from the atmosphere so that global warming can be limited to below 2 °.

This study presents a novel, modular DAC concept designed for integration into heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems of buildings. A prototype was engineered and modeled in MATLAB to analyze key physical processes in the adsorber bed using two amine-based adsorbents. A linear driving force model was applied to simulate mass transport, and the DAC unit was coupled with an HVAC system in Simulink to evaluate CO₂ capture from indoor air. Solar thermal energy with thermal storage was defined as the heat source. Optimization results indicate a 40 % reduction in thermal energy demand compared to separate DAC and HVAC systems. Cold, humid air improves CO₂ capture, while dry air significantly lowers the energy demand – up to 50 % when reducing humidity from 90 % to 10 %. A techno-economic analysis suggests that mass-produced DAC modules for HVAC systems could achieve levelized costs of DAC as low as 280 € per ton CO 2 , particularly when waste heat is utilized.

A method of reducing CO2 emissions is CCUS (carbon capture, utilisation, and storage) technology. One part of CCUS technology involves mineral sequestration as its final stage, utilisation, which can be carried out using natural raw materials or waste. This is a particularly interesting option for power and CHP plants that use coal as their primary fuel. Combustion processes produce fly ash as a waste by-product, which has a high potential for CO2 sequestration. Calcium fly ash from lignite combustion and fly ash from fluidised bed boilers have particularly high potential due to their high CaO content. Fly ash can be used in the mineral sequestration of CO2 via direct and indirect carbonation. Both methods use CO2 and flue gases. Studies conducted so far have analysed the influence of factors such as temperature, pressure, and the liquid-to-solid (L/S) ratio on the carbonation process, which have shown different effects depending on the ash used and the form of the process. Due to the large differences found in the properties of fly ash, related primarily to the type of fuel and boiler used, the process of mineral CO2 sequestration requires much research into its feasibility on an industrial scale. However, the method is promising for industrial applications due to the possibility of reducing CO2 emissions and, at the same time, recovering waste.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17225605","authors":["Alicja Uliasz-Bocheńczyk"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-11T11:34:11Z","doi":"10.3390/en17225605","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.334Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2118/209284-ms","name":"Latest Technologies and Methods for Carbon Capture and Underground Gas Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Carbon capture and underground gas storage technologies have been an area of significant focus in oil and gas industry over the past few decades.

Since the entry into force of the Paris Agreement in 2016, the world has been making various efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality, with CCS emerging as one of the most important technologies in this endeavor. CCS is a technology that reduces the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by safely storing captured carbon dioxide underground, playing an essential role, particularly in hard-to-abate industrial sectors. The study examines the concept of CCS and recent trends, and analyzes the regulatory developments related to CCS under the London Protocol for the protection of the marine environment. Specifically, it reviews the legal basis for CCS technology established through the 2006 and 2009 amendments to the London Protocol and the specific regulations governing the injection of CO2 streams into sub-seabed geological formations. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for agreements and accords to strengthen international cooperation and clarifies compliance conditions such as reporting requirements to the International Maritime Organization (IMO). In conclusion, the London Protocol aims to protect the marine environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through requirements related to the composition of CO2 streams, assessment procedures, international cooperation, permit issuance, and reporting procedures. This regulatory framework makes a significant contribution to the international community's response to climate change, and it is expected that safe and effective CCS projects will be promoted through continued international cooperation.

Our proposed solution is built in a commercial integrated asset management platform that connects the models and orchestrates their execution and optimization. We have successfully integrated the CO2 capture facility, pipeline networks, and subsurface models. Optimal decisions were achieved by maximizing Net Present Value (NPV) while honoring operational and environmental constraints. Results demonstrate that it is necessary to simulate the entire injection system because of the evident dependencies between the storage site capacity, what the transport system can handle, and the contracted injection volumes. By propagating uncertainties related to the subsurface across the transport system and economic considerations, we were able to make reliable informed decisions about injector location more efficiently and mitigate risks with high confidence.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202421097","authors":["T.

Additionally, re-using the production facilities and offshore platforms for the injection of CO2 would be economically and environmentally winning fact. This paper is based on intensive bibliographic research related to challenges and concerns of CO2 storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs, for the selection of the optimum solution for converting the offshore platform GREEN1 in the Adriatic Sea to be re-used instead of decommissioning. It also highlights the interactions between the reservoir parameters and the design of surface facilities. The design of all the upstream components, i.e., transportation pipeline diameter, compression capacity, and maximum allowable pressure is mainly based on the rock and fluid interactions in the reservoir porous media. Storage capacity has a pivotal role in the candidate sites screening process, accompanied by an economic feasibility study. CO2 storage capacity of ‘Porto Corsini Mare’ reservoir, as a candidate site for GREEN1, is estimated based on returning the depleted reservoir to its initial pressure before production. A methodology for comparing and selecting suitable reservoirs and aquifers for CO2 geo-storage is introduced in this paper for the purpose of identifying the optimum storage site for GREEN1 platform. The screening criterion is divided into three main categories: storage capacity, injectivity, and containment, in a shape of logic flow charts with the relevant parameters to each category, in order to help analysts and decision makers identify and compare candidate sites for CO2 storage, so that they are easily able to exclude the unsuitable reservoirs and proceed with the right candidates for further economic and risk assessment studies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/220331-ms","authors":["A.

Unfortunately, this knowledge has not been disseminated to operating companies interested in EOR flooding or to CO2 Sequestration Communities interested in storing CO2 in EOR projects. The primary objective of this report is to target \"Conventional WAG Techniques\" which have been used in over 90% of all the Enhanced Oil Recovery projects implemented in the Permian Basin in Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.

Conventional, biological, electrolytic, photocatalytic, and waste-derived pathways are compared in terms of efficiency, lifecycle emissions, resource intensity, material criticality, and toxicity. Storage and distribution options including compressed and liquefied hydrogen, chemical carriers, and porous materials are assessed for energy density, safety, recyclability, and infrastructure readiness. Life-cycle assessment data are integrated to identify key hotspots in global warming potential, water use, cumulative energy demand, and human toxicity. Policy frameworks, including India's National Green Hydrogen Mission, are examined with emphasis on implementation mechanisms, certification, and industrial integration. The analysis demonstrates that no single pathway satisfies all sustainability criteria, highlighting the need for targeted deployment, system integration, and regional optimisation. Embedding green chemistry principles alongside coordinated policy and infrastructure planning is essential for a resilient and equitable hydrogen economy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5ra09599a","authors":["Debajyoti Kundu","Arun Barathi","Kumari Pooja","Madhava Surya","Samuel Jacob","Apurba Koley","Palas Samanta","Vineet Kumar","Anjani Devi Chintagunta","N.

As plants migrate to higher elevations, understanding the mechanisms behind these changes is critical for predicting ecosystem dynamics. Morphological, physiological, and chemical functional traits may help understand species' responses to environmental change. This study examines whether functional traits can explain recent changes in presence and cover of alpine plant species in permanent plots. We analyzed vegetation data from repeated surveys of permanent plots at two sites. Morphological traits (e.g., plant height, leaf area) and physiological traits (e.g., frost and drought resistance) were measured locally for common species and supplemented with data from the TRY trait database to broaden species coverage. Linear models were applied to assess the relationships between traits and abundance changes (presence and cover), using multiple metrics. Our results reveal that plant height and leaf area are significant predictors of species abundance changes, emphasizing the role of morphological traits in shaping alpine plant communities. In contrast, physiological traits showed limited explanatory power. Notably, leaf carbon content emerged as a key predictor, suggesting that conservative strategies may provide advantages under warming conditions. Measures describing biomass dynamics (e.g., cover) differed from those describing establishment (e.g., presence), highlighting the multifaceted nature of species responses to environmental changes. Although our findings emphasize the importance of competitive interactions and resource acquisition, the study is limited by the absence of traits related to heat tolerance and prolonged warming. Future research should address these gaps to better understand the impacts of sustained temperature increases on alpine ecosystems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.73806","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/ece3.73806","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.335Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.140Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.iecr.6c00301","name":"Fixed Bed Chemical Looping beyond Gas Switching: Application to Dynamic Industrial Waste Gas Conversion.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"This article presents first-of-their-kind investigations on fixed bed chemical looping as a means of converting dynamic industrial process waste gases containing CO, H 2 , or hydrocarbons to a product suitable for delivery to a CO 2 separation system, without dilution by excess combustion air or flaring outside of process lines.

Within individual study contexts, polymeric membrane gas separation systems can reduce global warming potential (GWP) by up to 89% compared to no-capture plants, though other impacts, like ozone depletion potential, increase by up to 780%. Compared to amine-based absorption, membranes showed superior performance, with reductions up to 26% in GWP and 98% in other categories.

Among these, Spirulina stands out due to its interesting composition and widespread use in animal nutrition. It is also well-known that animal excreta contribute significantly to global greenhouse gases (GHG), particularly ammonia (NH₃) emissions. The latter are particularly affected by storage conditions and excreta intrinsic characteristics namely pH, which can lead to increased Nitrogen losses. This study investigates the impact of including an alternative protein source, specifically Spirulina at a 15 % inclusion rate on chicken feeding, on GHG and ammonia NH₃ emissions during excreta storage. Two slow-growing broiler strains (naked neck and fully feathered) were raised under either thermoneutral (23 °C) or heat stress (30 °C) conditions. Each feeding trial lasted 12 weeks, during which excreta were collected, frozen, and later stored at ambient temperature for 60 days. A total of eight excreta types, each with three replicates, were analyzed. Results showed that excreta from birds raised under heat stress (30 °C) exhibited greater NH₃ and CO₂ emissions compared to those under thermoneutral conditions. Spirulina inclusion significantly increased NH₃ emissions by 11 % compared to normal diet and nitrous oxide (N₂O) by 17 %, regardless of temperature. Methane emissions remained low (< 0.075 µg/kg) across all treatments and were not significantly affected by diet nor temperature. Spirulina offers potential as a sustainable protein source; however, the inclusion level evaluated in the present study (15 %) was associated with increased nitrogen losses during manure storage, suggesting that high inclusion rates may increase the environmental footprint of broiler production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psj.2026.106665","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.psj.2026.106665","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.335Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.140Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fmolb.2026.1823383","name":"FNA-based lipidomics reveals coordinated lipid metabolic remodeling in pancreatic cancer.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis.

Given the critical role of lipid metabolic reprogramming in PDAC progression, we investigated whether lipidomic alterations could be reliably captured in EUS-FNA-derived specimens. Methods Paired tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues obtained via EUS-FNA from 13 PDAC patients were subjected to widely targeted (pseudo-targeted) liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based lipidomic analysis. Differential lipid species were identified through multivariate and univariate analyses. A composite lipid score was constructed based on principal component loadings. Serum samples from an independent cohort of 30 PDAC patients were included for exploratory projection analysis. Results A total of 1822 lipid species across 47 lipid classes were detected in EUS-FNA-derived specimens. Tumor tissues displayed coordinated lipid alterations, including accumulation of storage lipids and structural remodeling of fatty acyl chains characterized by elongation and increased unsaturation. These alterations were readily detectable in EUS-FNA-derived specimens. These patterns showed a tendency to distinguish tumor from adjacent non-tumor samples within the FNA cohort.

However, its sustainable production is hindered by low nutrient use efficiency. Reliable screening protocols that accurately identify nutrient-efficient germplasm of this crop across developmental stages are still lacking. To bridge this gap, we established a novel two-phase evaluation system integrating hydroponic seedling screening with multi-nutrient field validation. We conducted principal component and regression analyses of 35 germplasms lines under controlled deficiencies of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Five conserved seedling traits were identified, including leaf number per plant, shoot fresh weight, root fresh weight, shoot dry weight, and net photosynthetic rate (Pn). These traits consistently correlated with tolerance to N, P, or K deficiency, thereby supporting their utility as reliable early indicators of nutrient stress. Field validation further confirmed that storage root fresh and dry weight, nutrient content, accumulation, and use efficiency varied significantly among nutrient treatments and genotypes, serving as key indicators of field performance. This integrated approach successfully identified elite germplasm with specific nutrient use efficiency: XN1985-7 as a low-N-tolerant and N-efficient utilization genotype, XN17104-132 as low-K-tolerant and K-efficient utilization, XN2141-3 as low-P-tolerant and P-efficient utilization, and notably XN2153-5, which exhibited concurrent tolerance to low N, P, and K with broad-spectrum efficiency.

Numerous studies have confirmed that introducing catalysts to LSBs effectively addresses the sluggish conversion of LiPSs. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have demonstrated great potential in LSBs due to their high catalytic activity and nearly complete atom utilization. The synergistic effect of the hollow structure and the SACs addresses key limitations of SACs in LSBs, including agglomeration, insufficient LiPSs confinement, and poor volume buffering capability. Thus, SACsloaded hollow microstructures (SACs-HMs) are a superior strategy to address the LiPSs shuttle in LSBs.

The combustion behavior, pollutant emissions, reaction kinetics, and underlying mechanisms were systematically evaluated. The results show that CO 2 in oxy-fuel atmospheres exhibits a higher thermal inertia, due to its greater density and specific heat capacity, thereby enhancing flame stability. Oxy-fuel atmospheres reduce the ignition temperature ( Tᵢ ) and burnout temperature ( T f ), shorten the combustion duration, shift DTG and DSC peaks to lower temperatures, and result in sharper peaks along with an increased ignition index ( Cᵢ ), burnout index ( C b ), and comprehensive combustion index ( S ).

The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau is one of the regions most sensitive to global climate change, experiencing warming rates higher than the global average and pronounced ecological vulnerability. Among its subregions, southeastern Xizang is characterized by extensive forest cover and prominent ecological functions. Accordingly, elucidating the differentiation characteristics and driving mechanisms of soil carbon pool quantity and quality among different forest types in this region is of great significance for accurately evaluating regional carbon sink capacity. This study focused on multiple representative forest types in southeastern Xizang, including coniferous forests, broad-leaved forests, and conifer-broadleaf mixed forests, to systematically compare the distribution characteristics of soil organic carbon (SOC) and its fractions among different forest stands, and to explore the variation patterns and driving factors of the carbon pool management index (CPMI). The results showed significant differences in soil organic carbon and its fractions among forest types in southeastern Xizang (p < 0.05). The Cupressus gigantea forest exhibited consistently higher levels of soil organic carbon and its fractions, indicating a strong carbon accumulation capacity, whereas both Pinus densata forest and Pinus yunnanensis-Populus davidiana mixed forest showed relatively lower values overall. The carbon pool management index varied markedly among forest types. The Cupressus gigantea forest showed the highest carbon pool index (CPI) and carbon pool management index (CPMI) (p < 0.05), indicating the best soil carbon pool quality. Driving factor analysis revealed that soil organic carbon (SOC) and carbon pool index (CPI) were primarily regulated by available nitrogen (AN), available potassium (AK), electrical conductivity (EC), and soil water content (WC). The carbon pool management index (CPMI) was mainly driven by field capacity (FC) and total nitrogen (TN), whereas carbon pool activity (A) and the carbon pool activity index (AI) were more dependent on available phosphorus (AP) and total phosphorus (TP). Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that the first two ordination axes together explained 92.8% of the total variation, with the first axis accounting for 88.1% and the second axis for 4.7%, indicating that environmental factors can effectively explain the variation in soil carbon pool quantity and quality.

Methods We selected six typical shrub species (e.g., Cotoneaster multiflorus, Prunus pedunculata, Caragana arborescens , and Lonicera rupicola ) and comprehensively measured their morphological traits (plant height, basal diameter, root length, biomass allocation, etc.) and photosynthetic physiological parameters (net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, etc.). Results The results showed that: (1) Morphologically, C. arborescens exhibited significantly greater plant height (205.17 cm) and whole-plant dry weight (303.03 g), while L. rupicola had deeper root systems (>40 cm); (2) Photosynthetically, the diurnal net photosynthetic rate displayed unimodal and bimodal patterns, primarily driven by photosynthetically active radiation, with L. rupicola and C. arborescens showing the highest estimated daily leaf-level carbon assimilation potential (6.93 and 5.86 g·m⁻²·d⁻¹, respectively); (3) A \"scale decoupling\" existed between whole-plant carbon storage capacity and leaf-level carbon assimilation potential: C. arborescens had the highest whole-plant carbon storage (120.86 g/plant) but not the highest per-unit-leaf-area assimilation efficiency, whereas L. rupicola exhibited high leaf-level efficiency but moderate whole-plant storage; (4) The six shrubs were classified into three strategic types based on biomass allocation and carbon storage: C. arborescens as \"high-accumulation, stem-dominated\"; C. multiflorus, Lonicera ferdinandi, P. pedunculata, L. rupicola as \"balanced investment\"; Euonymus phellomanus as \"conservative, belowground-investment\".

In the context of carbon neutrality targets and the growing demand for large-scale commercial CBM exploitation, innovative technological solutions are urgently required. CBM bioengineering aims to substantially enhance CBM production by stimulating biomethane generation, promoting gas desorption, and improving reservoir permeability, while simultaneously enabling effective CO 2 sequestration. The potential for biomethane generation is largely governed by the intrinsic physicochemical characteristics of coal, including aromatic structures, maceral composition, and pore-fracture architecture. In addition, hydrogeological conditions-such as geothermal gradients, pH variability, and redox potential-play critical roles in regulating microbial functional gene expression and metabolic enzyme synthesis. Core pretreatment strategies in coalbed gas bioengineering can be broadly classified into approaches that enhance coal bioconversion potential and those that optimize functional microbial consortia. Electric fields and conductive materials can influence microbial community structure by enriching electroactive microorganisms and facilitating interspecies electron transfer. In addition to engineered conductive interventions, reservoir environmental conditions also play an important role in shaping methanogenic community structure. Experimental observations under reservoir-relevant CO 2 pressure and temperature conditions indicate that deep coalbed environments are associated with shifts in methanogenic community composition, including an increased relative abundance of hydrogenotrophic methanogens. These observations suggest that physicochemical conditions in deep coal seams may favor hydrogen-dependent CO 2 reduction pathways, thereby supporting hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis and contributing to biomethane generation.

This study presents a comprehensive technical, economic and environmental assessment of a hybrid energy system designed for the Faculty of Technology and Education at Sohag University, Egypt. The research evaluates three operational scenarios, involving the integration of the utility grid (UG), photovoltaic (PV) cells, a battery energy storage system (BESS), and a green hydrogen production subsystem consisting of an electrolyzer, hydrogen storage (H 2 ), and fuel cells (FC). Scenario 1 (PV/BESS/UG) serves as the baseline configuration, achieving a renewable fraction of 74.7% but maintaining significant dependence on the electrical grid. Scenario 2 (PV/FC/H2/UG) demonstrated the economic infeasibility of a hydrogen subsystem configured to operate on a daily charge-discharge cycle rather than functioning as a long-duration or seasonal storage system; the optimization results favored grid electricity over fuel cell dispatch. Scenario 3 (PV/FC/BESS/H 2 /UG) emerges as the most effective configuration. Despite exhibiting a higher net present cost (NPC: 823,477 USD) and a levelized cost of energy (LCOE: 0.0832 USD/kWh), it achieved a renewable fraction of 75.7% and ensured nearly 100% supply reliability with negligible unmet electrical load.

To enhance the water-use capacity of vegetation, this study utilized a previously developed eco-friendly PVA-CS/SA-Ca 2+ hydrogel. The primary objective was to elucidate the synergistic mechanisms by which the hydrogel optimizes condensed water utilization and drives the ecophysiological recovery of Pinus tabuliformis and Platycladus orientalis , two keystone afforestation species in northern China. Utilizing a controlled environmental chamber to simulate the condensation and humidification process, the experiment established three treatments: a control group (CK), a pot-sealed group (PS, to isolate soil water absorption), and a hydrogel-amended group (Hydrogel-Root Wrapping, HRW). To comprehensively evaluate the water utilization mechanisms, the amount of condensed water captured by the system was quantified, and hydrogen isotope tracing techniques were employed to precisely track water transport pathways and contribution rates. Concurrently, key physiological parameters were systematically determined, including leaf water potential, stomatal conductance, leaf water content, net photosynthetic rate, and transpiration rate. The results demonstrated the following: (1) the hydrogel significantly enhanced the condensation water capture capacity of the system. The net mass gains of the Pinus tabuliformis and Platycladus orientalis systems under the HRW treatment reached 26.3 g and 32.9 g, respectively, which represented 1.17 and 1.30 times those of the CK treatment, and 1.52 and 1.54 times those of the PS treatment. (2) Isotope tracing confirmed that both tree species possess significant Foliar Water Uptake (FWU) capacity. Following condensation, the δ 2 H values in the leaves of Platycladus orientalis and Pinus tabuliformis surged to 113.5‱ and 85.3‱, respectively, with stem δ 2 H values increasing by 31‱ and 22‱ compared to their initial baseline. (3) The introduction of the hydrogel in the HRW treatment provided 11.2% and 10.9% of the stem water supply for Platycladus orientalis and Pinus tabuliformis , respectively, thereby reducing their dependence on soil water by 8.3% and 13.1%. In contrast, there was no significant difference in the fractional contribution of condensation water to stem water between the PS and CK treatments. (4) Regarding physiological responses, the application of the hydrogel material effectively improved the physiological status of the plants. The leaf water potentials of Pinus tabuliformis and Platycladus orientalis increased to -0.15 MPa and -1.32 MPa, respectively. Concurrently, stomatal conductance (3.25 and 3.64 mm·s -1 ) and leaf water content (58.4% and 67.4%) were significantly higher than those in the other treatments. In summary, the hydrogel can significantly enhance the capture, conversion, and utilization efficiency of condensation water by vegetation, effectively optimizing the water supply dynamics of the system.

This computational burden severely limits the efficiency of large-scale scheme optimization. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a general surrogate model based on the Transformer architecture, designed to achieve efficient and high-precision prediction of cumulative oil production and the CO 2 storage capacity. To tackle the generalization difficulty caused by differences in reservoir geological scales, a dimensionless feature system based on Pore Volume (PV) normalization was constructed. By converting absolute injection and production parameters into dimensionless numbers relative to the reservoir pore volume, this method effectively decouples the constraints of specific reservoir geometric scales, thereby establishing the physical universality of the model across different blocks. On this basis, by integrating an implicit time parameterization strategy with a Bayesian adaptive optimization algorithm, the model substitutes absolute physical time with cumulative fluid injection volume. This transformation converts discrete time-stepping prediction into a continuous mapping between development dynamics and the degree of injection. Validation experiments using 280,000 samples demonstrate that the model achieves R 2 values of 0.9986 and 0.9968 for oil production and CO 2 storage predictions, respectively. In terms of computational efficiency, unlike numerical simulations, where computational costs grow cumulatively over time, this model exhibits remarkable time independence. Taking a typical 5 year full lifecycle prediction task as an example, under the current computing configuration, the proposed surrogate model achieves a speedup of nearly 60 times compared with numerical simulations of equivalent precision. This characteristic, coupled with its excellent generalizability, effectively mitigates the computational bottleneck of long-cycle simulations, providing robust technical support for rapid assessment in CCUS-EOR development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.6c01704","authors":["Changfu Li","Xiang Wang","Wenjie Yu","Peng Zhou"],"tags":["Dimensionless quantity","Mathematical optimization","Computer science","Normalization (sociology)","Surrogate model"],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1021/acsomega.6c01704","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.335Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s13021-026-00435-3","name":"Advancing low-carbon economies in the Persian Gulf: the role of clean energy, industry 4.0, and fintech.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The international move towards a low-carbon economy is an immediate necessity especially to the Persian Gulf region that is confronted with the dual role of disengaging its economies out of the reliance on fossil fuel and expanding the energy needs.

The thickness of water-storing tissues significantly increased by 69.13% in C. leucocladum under drought stress. The phosphorus (P) content and carbon:nitrogen (C:N) ratio increased significantly, while the C and N contents and C:P and N:P ratios decreased significantly, suggesting that C. leucocladum may preferentially absorbs P for energy metabolism at the expense of N metabolism to maintain mechanical resistance. The significantly higher soluble sugar/starch ratio indicated the rapid reallocation of C resources from the storage form (starch) to the functional form (soluble sugar) under water deficit. The phenotypic plasticity index showed that C. leucocladum rapidly optimized water transport and reduced the risk of embolism through the high plasticity of the vascular bundle diameter. The low plasticity in the P content was maintained to safeguard energy metabolism and cellular repair, relying on uptake from deep roots to alleviate P limitation. C. leucocladum has developed a synergistic adaptation mechanism to long-term drought through structural contraction (vascular bundles and conduits), metabolic resource reallocation (C tended toward water storage/defense structures), and preferential adjustment of P uptake, forming a synergistic adaptation mechanism to prolonged drought. This strategy reveals the survival–growth coordinate mechanism of desert plants under resource constraints.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-026-08213-6","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s12870-026-08213-6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.335Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.141Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/d5sc08149a","name":"A sustainable approach to biobased porous organic frameworks and their composites.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Porous organic frameworks (POFs) represent a diverse group of porous materials that have gained significant recognition in the last couple of decades.

However, converter steam data are inherently time-segmented: before steelmaking starts, only limited planning information is available, while during production, high-frequency process signals drive rapid steam fluctuations. Existing studies mainly rely on single-stage time series forecasting, and rarely combine planning forecasts with sequential production forecasts to support steam scheduling. To address this gap, this study proposes an integrated two-stage, multi-time-scale forecasting framework for converter steam. First, the planning-to-production nature of converter steam generation is explicitly formulated, and a time-segmented forecasting workflow is established to link long-horizon planning prediction with short-horizon rolling prediction. Then, in the planning stage (approximately 2 hours ahead), a hyperparameter-optimized SVM model (IBKA-SVM) is employed to generate interval steam output forecasts, providing a reliable baseline for upper-level scheduling tasks such as steam network target setting and buffer allocation. Finally, in the production stage, a DSC-Transformer model performs fine-grained rolling steam-flow prediction based on time-series production data, and its outputs are used to dynamically update and correct the planning-stage baseline for operational control. Experiments on industrial converter data demonstrate that the proposed models achieve strong predictive performance (IBKA-SVM: 92.3%, DSC-Transformer: 98.7%) and consistently outperform conventional baselines.

A significant suppression of C 2+ products is observed even in the presence of 10 ppm of these impurities due to catalyst poisoning and a selectivity change. Hence, it is necessary to have an upstream cleaning process to maintain a high selectivity toward high value C 2+ products and to reduce the operational costs associated with frequent catalyst regeneration or replacement. We present a comprehensive process model and technoeconomic analysis of an integrated large-scale two-step CO 2 /CO electroreduction plant that produces C 2+ products including ethylene, acetic acid, ethanol, and n -propanol, using blast furnace gas obtained from a steel manufacturing facility as feedstock. Detailed modeling and integration of the upstream cleaning units, CO 2 /CO electrolyzers, and the downstream separation of gas/liquid products are performed using Aspen Plus. Our analysis shows that the large-scale two-step CO 2 /CO electroreduction process is not profitable under the base case scenario and requires significant improvements in electrolyzer performance, reduction in capital costs, and favorable market conditions to improve the economics. The upstream cleaning units only contribute to ∼15% of the CAPEX and ∼8% OPEX of the entire plant, while the electrolyzers contribute to ∼63% of the total CAPEX and OPEX.

Results Results indicate that MN application optimized plant performance. The MN treatment yielded the highest sustained chlorophyll a+b content, peaking 60 days post-fertilization, and the lowest chlorophyll a/b ratio. It also demonstrated superior nitrogen fertilizer utilization, with significantly higher nitrogen derived from fertilizer (Ndff) in leaves across various growth stages and in most organs during dormancy. Consistently, MN application resulted in the highest whole-plant biomass (846.88 g/plant) and total nitrogen accumulation (13.79 g/plant), with a marked increase in allocation to structural components. The MN treatment promoted the development of a more vigorous fine root system during dormancy, with significantly greater root length, diameter, surface area, and volume. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive associations between fine root N content/Ndff and these root architectural traits. Discussion Consequently, while HN application provides a transient boost in chlorophyll a, it is associated with lower nitrogen uptake efficiency and increased dependence on soil nitrogen, leading to reduced biomass and N accumulation. This pattern of inefficiency under high nitrogen inputs underscores suboptimal fertilizer use and suggests a greater potential for environmental nitrogen losses. Therefore, medium nitrogen application emerges as the most effective strategy for enhancing seedling growth and nitrogen use efficiency in young rubber tree seedlings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2025.1698946","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.3389/fpls.2025.1698946","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.335Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.141Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acsomega.5c12873","name":"Optimizing Class G Cement for CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; Storage (CCS): A Comprehensive Study on the Effects of Fly Ash and Eggshell Blends on Wellbore Cement Integrity.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical pathway for achieving net-zero emissions; however, maintaining long-term wellbore cement integrity under CO 2 -rich conditions remains a major technical challenge. Conventional Class G cement is highly vulnerable to carbonation-dissolution reactions, which increase porosity and permeability, weaken mechanical strength, and ultimately compromise zonal isolation. These degradation processes create potential leakage pathways that threaten storage security and reduce CO 2 storage efficiency. This study presents a systematic optimization of Class G cement using fly ash (FA) and waste-derived eggshell powder (ESP) as supplementary cementitious materials. The objectives are to develop CO 2 -resistant formulations, quantitatively evaluate geomechanical, petrophysical, and geochemical performance under simulated downhole conditions, and identify the microstructural mechanisms responsible for enhanced durability. A novel formulation strategy is introduced, leveraging synergistic calcium-silica interactions between FA and ESP to fundamentally redesign the pore structure. Beyond conventional pore size reduction, this approach promotes pore network disconnection as the dominant sealing mechanism while simultaneously enabling a self-healing (autonomous sealing) response under CO 2 exposure. The presence of reactive calcium phases from ESP enhances carbonate precipitation, allowing microcracks and pore throats to be progressively sealed through in situ mineralization. Cement systems [base cement (BS), FA/ESP (75%/25%), and FA/ESP (50%/50%)] were subjected to high-pressure, high-temperature aging (2000 psi, 170 °C) in CO 2 -saturated brine for up to 60 days. Comprehensive characterization was performed using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, ultrasonic wave propagation (Auto-Lab 1500), X-ray diffraction, and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The FA/ESP (75%/25%) formulation exhibited superior performance, achieving a 75% reduction in permeability (0.01125 mD vs 0.045 mD for base cement) and an 82.22% decrease in porosity, while base cement showed a 56.7% increase. Mechanical properties improved significantly, with increases of 19.5% in Young's modulus and 19.3% in Poisson's ratio, indicating enhanced structural resilience. Mineralogical analysis revealed progressive calcite formation (46.4% to 56.5%), confirming active CO 2 mineralization that transforms chemical degradation into a strengthening mechanism. These findings directly enhance wellbore integrity and CO 2 storage efficiency by reducing permeability, minimizing leakage risk, and improving long-term containment. Pore network disconnection and improved mechanical strength ensure sustained zonal isolation, while CO 2 -driven mineralization enables self-sealing through calcite precipitation within pores and microfractures. The novel integration of industrial byproducts and agricultural waste offers a sustainable, cost-effective solution, establishing a new paradigm for durable, self-healing cement systems in geological carbon storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c12873","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1021/acsomega.5c12873","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.335Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.141Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-026-43053-2","name":"An integrated edge-cloud IoT framework for resilient disaster prevention in fire detection and forest carbon assessment.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Humanity’s ongoing overuse of natural resources is degrading the Earth’s environment, intensifying climate change impacts.

There is a pressing need for interdisciplinary research that collects ecosystem data at broader spatial and temporal scales while incorporating working farms and ranches. Such efforts are critical for informing grazing decisions and understanding grazinglands’ potential to deliver ecosystem services, including climate mitigation, water cycling, resilience, and rural livelihoods. RESULTS: The Metrics, Management, and Monitoring (3M) project addresses this need through a novel social-ecological framework that integrates biophysical, socioeconomic, and management data across U.S. grazinglands. The project combines controlled experiments at four intensively monitored “hubs” with data from 59 producer-managed farms and ranches. Its core objectives are to: (1) assess the social-ecological health of grazinglands across diverse ecoregions, (2) refine monitoring approaches to improve scalability and accuracy, and (3) integrate producer-led data to balance experimental rigor with real-world relevance. Over 50 scientists collaborate on 3M to evaluate how grazing strategies affect soil carbon, water dynamics, CO₂ fluxes, plant communities, productivity, social wellbeing, and producer economics. CONCLUSIONS: These insights support the development of ecosystem models and decision-support tools to help producers make evidence-based choices. Beyond data generation, 3M offers a scalable research model that bridges ecological and social sciences to support adaptive, informed grazing management.

In this context, based on the data of provinces and industries, we examine how the digital economy development index (DEDI) affects per capita carbon emissions (PCCE) across Chinese industries. Using two-stage instrumental variable estimation, we find that DEDI significantly contributes to reducing PCCE, with an estimated coefficient of -0.226. By further analyzing the underlying mechanisms, it is shown that DEDI affects PCCE through channels in both the manufacturing sector and the consumption sector. In the manufacturing sector, DEDI reduces total carbon emissions by optimizing industrial structure and improving energy efficiency, thereby lowering PCCE. In the consumption sector, DEDI stimulates consumption-related structure upgrading and green technological innovation in consumption sectors, which in turn reduces PCCE. By integrating DEDI with the analysis of PCCE, this study provides empirical evidence on the pathways through which DEDI contributes to sustainable economic development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c12699","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1021/acsomega.5c12699","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.335Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.141Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jbc.2026.111483","name":"A tungsten-specific maturation pathway governs cofactor assembly of a CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;-reducing formate dehydrogenase in Methylorubrum extorquens.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Tungsten-dependent formate dehydrogenases catalyze the reversible interconversion of carbon dioxide and formate and play key roles in microbial redox metabolism, yet the molecular basis for selective tungsten cofactor assembly in aerobic bacteria remains poorly understood.

Methods We addressed this knowledge gap using a destructive sample of 45 culms (2- and 3-year old culms) harvested from a managed plantation in Sanya, Hainan, China. Two modeling strategies were compared: (i) independent models fitted by weighted non-linear least squares and (ii) compatible models based on Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) that guarantee additivity among culm, branch, and leaf biomass. Predictor variables were diameter at breast height (DBH), total height (H), and a combined variable (DBH)²H. Model performance was evaluated using 1,000 bootstrap iterations with out-of-bag (OOB) predictions, and final model parameters were estimated from the full dataset. Results and discussion 2-year-old culms were roughly twice as large in DBH and H, and contained fourfold more AGB than 3-year-old culms. Independent models demonstrated that DBH was the most effective singular predictor for each component and AGB. Compatible SUR models achieved similar accuracy (R² > 0.9 for AGB and culms, > 0.7 for leaves, > 0.5 for branches) while reducing the discrepancy between summed components and total AGB to virtually zero.

However, its dynamic loss mechanisms, particularly the synergistic effects of snowmelt and rainfall-induced erosion, remain unclear. This study focuses on the upper Heihe River basin in the central Qilian Mountains, China. Six types of erosion units were set up along an elevation gradient, and field surveys were conducted over two years. Based on the XGBoost algorithm, digital mapping of SOC at the basin scale was carried out. Using the 2006–2020 period as the simulation timeframe, a composite hydraulic erosion calculation method was developed by coupling the SPHY hydrological model with the RUSLE model, incorporating snowmelt runoff and observed sediment data. Geographic detectors and structural equation models were used to reveal the driving mechanisms of composite hydraulic erosion on SOC loss. The results showed that the SOC density in the 0–20 cm soil layer of the basin was 10.90 × 106 kg C m− 2. The annual average soil sediment yield modulus in the basin ranged from 7.82 to 14.49 t ha− 1 yr− 1, with an SOC output rate of 0.50 ± 0.08 t C ha− 1 yr− 1. The total SOC loss in the basin was (50.16 ± 8.57)×104 t C yr− 1, with rainfall-induced erosion contributing 94% and snowmelt-induced erosion contributing 6%, highlighting the significant role of snowmelt erosion in future carbon management. High carbon loss areas were primarily concentrated in alpine cold deserts and alpine meadows, which accounted for 89.81% of the total SOC loss in the basin, making these areas key targets for future carbon management in semi-arid, high-altitude regions. The SOC loss rate during wet-cold years (0.62 ± 0.15 t C ha− 1 yr− 1) was 1.31 times and 1.51 times higher than in normal years (C2) and dry-hot years (C3), respectively, indicating the need for differentiated carbon management strategies based on climatic conditions. The coupling effects of composite hydraulic erosion processes under climate and topography regulation, along with the erosion-suppressing effect of surface vegetation, jointly determine the spatial heterogeneity of soil carbon loss. This study deepens the understanding of the water erosion–carbon loss process in semi-arid, high-altitude regions and provides theoretical support for erosion control and carbon management in alpine ecosystems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13021-026-00441-5","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s13021-026-00441-5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:17.335Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.141Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fpls.2026.1798946","name":"Palm oil: a review on nutritional composition, processing, contaminants, and sustainability frameworks in the food system.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plays a vital role in the global food system, yet questions about its nutrition, safety, and sustainability continue to spark debate.

RNG transport by pipeline was found to have the lowest CI score over medium to long distances due to the high energy efficiency of the transmission network. Compressed natural gas (CNG) tube trailers had the lowest carbon intensity (3.2 gCO 2 e/MJ) over shorter distances (up to 250 miles) due to minimal static emissions, but their limited payload capacity leads to higher delivery emissions (1.56 gCO 2 e/MJ per 100 miles) over distances above 250 miles. As a result, liquid natural gas (LNG) trailer transport, despite having higher static emissions (10.2 gCO 2 e/MJ), becomes more favorable over longer distances (above 650 miles) due to its superior delivery efficiency. These findings suggest that while CNG transport is advantageous for short hauls, pipeline transmission remains the most efficient option, with LNG trailers only becoming competitive over long distances (over 900 miles).

In tomato, static 24-h lighting can induce photoperiodic injury and reduced photosynthetic performance, often discussed as an end-product (triose-phosphate) limitation that constrains inorganic phosphate (Pi) recycling. Dynamic 24-h LED schedules that impose day-night spectral and intensity cues have been proposed to extend photoperiod without injury, but their effects on assimilation-export coupling remain unclear. We investigated whether early dysfunction under static 24-h light reflects a downstream sink-side export bottleneck that limits carbon export regardless of source (newly assimilated and mobilization of stored carbon), or a source-leaf limitation that selectively reduces concurrent export during assimilation while preserving export supported by mobilizing stored carbon, and whether dynamic schedules avoid these constraints. We used steady-state 14 CO 2 labeling with open-flow gas exchange to quantify net CO 2 exchange rate (NCER), concurrent export, ¹ 4 C retention, chase-derived reserve-supported export (remobilization), and transpiration in intact source leaves of tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum \"Money Maker\") grown under a 16-h/8-h control, a static 24-h regime, or two DLI-matched dynamic 24-h schedules. After 4 days of static 24-h light (pre-injury), export declined more than NCER, lowering relative export by ~12% and increasing the retained labeled pool. Whole-night remobilization efficiency scaled with retained pool size was conserved across treatments (~30%), including the Day 4 static regime, arguing against an early shared sink/transport bottleneck.

To overcome the challenge of inefficient direct CO 2 mineralization by CFA, this study investigated the preparation of novel integrated CO 2 capture-mineralization materials (ICCM) with flower-like cluster structures through the modification of CFA. The active Al and Si in CFA were activated to form minerals with high specific surface area, such as ettringite (AFt) and calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), which were also susceptible to carbonation.

To mitigate this growing concentration of CO2, selective carbon capture and storage/sequestration (CCS) are being investigated intensively. However, CCS technology is considered as an expensive and energy‐intensive process. In this context, selective carbon capture and utilization (CCU) as a C1 feedstock to synthesize value‐added chemicals and fuels is a promising step towards lowering the concentration of the atmospheric CO2 and for the production of high‐value chemicals. Towards this direction, several strategies have been developed to convert CO2, a Greenhouse gas (GHG) into useful chemicals by forming C−N, C−O, C−C, and C−H bonds. Among the various CO2 functionalization processes known, the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides has gained considerable interest owing to its 100% atom‐economic nature producing cyclic carbonates or polycarbonates in high yield and selectivity. Among the various classes of catalysts studied for cycloaddition of CO2 to cyclic carbonates, porous metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained a special interest due to their modular nature facilitating the introduction of a high density of Lewis acidic (LA) and CO2‐philic Lewis basic (LB) functionalities. However, most of the MOF‐based catalysts reported for cycloaddition of CO2 to respective cyclic carbonates in high yields require additional co‐catalyst, say tetra‐n‐butylammonium bromide (TBAB). On the contrary, the co‐catalyst‐free conversion of CO2 using rationally designed MOFs composed of both LA and LB sites is relatively less studied. In this review, we provide a comprehensive account of the research progress in the design of MOF based catalysts for environment‐friendly, co‐catalyst‐free fixation of CO2 into cyclic carbonates.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/asia.202000424","authors":["Sandeep Singh Dhankhar","Bharat Ugale","C.

The adsorption energy of CH 4 and CO 2 on the kerogen fragment surface and the isosteric heat of CH 4 and CO 2 in kerogen slit nanopores were examined to demonstrate the competitive adsorption of CO 2 over CH 4 in kerogen slit nanopores, and the different intensity of interactions between the CH 4 and CO 2 molecules with the pore surface plays a key role.

Currently process design on CCUS is mainly focused on temperature swing adsorption (TSA) process and steam purge technology has the advantages of direct heat exchange and reduced carbon dioxide concentration in regeneration step. The paper initially proposes a steam-assisted temperature swing adsorption (S-TSA) process for carbon capture, in which heat pump plays a role to provide the driving force of desorption. The performance of the integrated system is evaluated in terms of feed, purge and cooling gas flowrates and evaporation and flash temperature. Results show that when the feed gas flowrates increase from 44 NL·min−1 to 56 NL·min−1, CO2 purity increases from 90.24% to 90.89% and recovery rate decreases from 95.88% to 85.72%. Heat and power consumption of the integrated system increase significantly with the rise of purge flowrates. If the waste heat inside the carbon capture system is utilized, the heat consumption can be reduced by a maximum of 14.91% at flash temperature of 75 °C. The significance of each flowrate and temperature to simulation results is analyzed through the orthogonal design and multivariate analysis of variance.

In this article, we present a systematic evaluation of the possible water quality changes in response to CO 2 intrusion into aquifers currently used as sources of potable water in the United States. The evaluation was done in three parts. First, we developed a comprehensive geochemical model of aquifers throughout the United States, evaluating the initial aqueous abundances, distributions, and modes of occurrence of selected hazardous trace elements in a large number of potable groundwater quality analyses from the National Water Information System (NWIS) database. For each analysis, we calculated the saturation indices (SIs) of several minerals containing these trace elements. The minerals were initially selected through literature surveys to establish whether field evidence supported their postulated presence in potable water aquifers. Mineral assemblages meeting the criterion of thermodynamic saturation were assumed to control the aqueous concentrations of the hazardous elements at initial system state as well as at elevated CO 2 concentrations caused by the ingress of leaking CO 2 . In the second step, to determine those hazardous trace elements of greatest concern in the case of CO 2 leakage, we conducted thermodynamic calculations to predict the impact of increasing CO 2 partial pressures on the solubilities of the identified trace element mineral hosts. Under reducing conditions characteristic of many groundwaters, the trace elements of greatest concern are arsenic (As) and lead (Pb). In the final step, a series of reactive-transport simulations was performed to investigate the chemical evolution of aqueous As and Pb after the intrusion of CO 2 from a storage reservoir into a shallow confined groundwater resource. Results from the reactive-transport model suggest that a significant increase of aqueous As and Pb concentrations may occur in response to CO 2 intrusion, but that the maximum concentration values remain below or close to specified maximum contaminant levels (MCLs). Adsorption/desorption from mineral surfaces may strongly impact the mobilization of As and Pb.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11242-009-9509-8","authors":["John A.

We employ a suite of 10 different Ocean General Circulation Models (OGCMs) to quantify the error arising from uncertainties in the modeled transport required to link the interior ocean observations to the surface fluxes. The results from the contributing OGCMs are weighted using a model skill score based on a comparison of each model's simulated natural radiocarbon with observations. We find a pattern of air‐sea flux of natural CO2 characterized by outgassing in the Southern Ocean between 44°S and 59°S, vigorous uptake at midlatitudes of both hemispheres, and strong outgassing in the tropics. In the Northern Hemisphere and the tropics, the inverse estimates generally agree closely with the natural CO2 flux results from forward simulations of coupled OGCM‐biogeochemistry models undertaken as part of the second phase of the Ocean Carbon Model Intercomparison Project (OCMIP‐2). The OCMIP‐2 simulations find far less air‐sea exchange than the inversion south of 20°S, but more recent forward OGCM studies are in better agreement with the inverse estimates in the Southern Hemisphere. The strong source and sink pattern south of 20°S was not apparent in an earlier inversion study, because the choice of region boundaries led to a partial cancellation of the sources and sinks. We show that the inversely estimated flux pattern is clearly traceable to gradients in the observed ΔCgasex, and that it is relatively insensitive to the choice of OGCM or potential biases in ΔCgasex. Our inverse estimates imply a southward interhemispheric transport of 0.31 ± 0.02 Pg C yr−1, most of which occurs in the Atlantic. This is considerably smaller than the 1 Pg C yr−1 of Northern Hemisphere uptake that has been inferred from atmospheric CO2 observations during the 1980s and 1990s, which supports the hypothesis of a Northern Hemisphere terrestrial sink.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2006gb002751","authors":["S.

Several species (impurities) could follow the CO2 through the capture plant as carry over. It is expected that nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), oxygen (O2), and water (H2O) can be present as impurities (concentrations at the ppmv level) in the captured CO2. The exact composition will depend on the flue gas type, the CO2 capturing process, and multiple other parameters.

The present study used a novel experimental setup to realistically simulate a CO2 transport pipeline system with a controlled and variable concentration of impurities at a total pressure of 10 MPa and a temperature of 25°C. The water concentration was increased and decreased with constant concentration of SO2 and O2, to observe and identify possible reactions or threshold levels which could cause corrosion. A similar experiment was conducted with NO2. First, experiments were performed without steel coupons, to observe uncatalyzed reactions, and then with coupons to measure corrosion rates. The first sign of corrosion appeared at 350 ppmv of water with NO2 present. At 670 ppmv water with 75 ppmv NO2 the overall corrosion rate was about 0.57 mm/y and the main product was iron oxide. The corrosion process for SO2, O2, and water was much slower, and the first sign of corrosion appeared around 1,900 ppmv of water, with about 75 ppmv of SO2 and 230 ppmv of O2.

CCS is almost certainly required, along with a wide portfolio of other technologies in an “all of the above” strategy, to achieve the reductions in global CO 2 emissions necessary to stabilize atmospheric concentrations of CO 2 . Despite many high-profile demonstration projects, commercial-scale CCS deployment is still impeded by multiple issues including economic viability, public awareness and acceptance, and regulation and permitting. Developing a large-scale, highly visible and economically feasible CCS network—in addition to existing investment approaches— will be required to overcome these barriers to widespread CCS adoption. We propose a pathway to an integrated CCS network that connects multiple industrial CO 2 sources and geologic storage reservoirs using existing CCS technologies. Specifically, we propose that such a network could utilize CO 2 emissions from ethylene manufacturing for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the U.S. Gulf Coast region, creating a regional ethylene:CO 2 -EOR network. The ethylene market presents several key advantages for capturing CO 2 : ethylene is a high-value chemical with a price that can readily absorb capture costs (unlike fossil fuel electricity generation), ethylene sources are both closely clustered and emit a large volume of CO 2 , and existing capture technology is cost-competitive when coupled with nearby EOR reservoirs. Our analysis describes the techno-economic potential of CO 2 capture and EOR, the potential policy implications, and how the ethylene industry could be an ideal first-mover for jumpstarting commercial-scale CCS operations. As part of this analysis we identify the costs and CO 2 flows for ethylene production and EOR across the Gulf Coast region. We introduce the concepts of “byproduct CO 2” (CO 2 as a byproduct or waste stream from an existing industry such as power generation) and “extracted CO 2” (naturally-occurring CO 2 extracted from subsurface reservoirs for EOR); extracted CO 2 cannot decrease the carbon footprint of oil production, unlike byproduct CO 2 . We also suggest ethylene:CO 2 -EOR as a blueprint for other regional-scale byproduct CO 2 -EOR projects such as the Alberta oil sands, Marcellus and other U.S. shale fields, and large-scale coal-to-liquid and coal-to-chemical operations in China.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2014.11.757","authors":["Jeffrey M.

Oldenburg, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA While research is still needed to answer scientific and technical questions about CO 2 Capture and Storage (CCS), it is largely economic and political forces rather than technical issues that have prevented widespread deployment of CCS over the last decade. Meanwhile, the energy-climate crisis continues as fossil-fuel use grows, causing atmospheric concentrations of CO 2 to increase, along with global atmospheric temperatures and the associated measurable and costly impacts on Earth’s climate. Given the current economic and political state of affairs, it is natural to look for ways other than storage (seques- tration) by which mankind can decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With CO 2 accounting for approximately 70% of the GHG radiative forcing from among the other main GHGs (CH 4 , N 2 O, CF 4 , C 2 F 6 , SF 6 , and HFC-23, 134a, and 152a), and with abundant fossil-fuel-combustion point sources of CO 2 available, it makes sense to focus on reducing net emissions of CO 2 by any and all means. With direct injection into the ground for permanent sequestration currently considered expensive and lacking popular support, many people concerned about energy and climate have turned to studying utilization of CO 2 – so-called CO 2 Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS). In fact, the annual CCS confer- ence held for several years now in Pittsburgh changed its name this year to the 11th Annual Conference on Carbon Capture Utilization & Sequestration. Currently, CO 2 is used beneficially for a large number of purposes in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, agricultural, healthcare, environ- mental, energy resource extraction, pulp and paper, electronic, metals, and fire safety industries . 1,2 In the area of energy resource extraction, the oil industry injects millions of tonnes of CO 2 per year for enhanced oil recovery (CO 2 - EOR). While much of the current utilization demand makes use of CO 2 as is, vast amounts of CO 2 are also converted into a variety of useful products such as urea (fertilizer), formic acid (preservative for animal feed), and syngas (fuel). Although there exist many potential large-scale uses for CO 2 , the current demand is dwarfed by the potential supply from anthropogenic sources (mostly fossil fuel combustion), and projections of increased fossil-fuel use make it difficult to envision utilization ever solving the energy-climate crisis. For example, Song 3 estimated the total potential US demand for CO 2 in the chemical and materials industries at approximately 6 MtCO 2 /yr, approximately the output of a 750 MW coal- fired power plant. CO 2 -EOR within the USA currently uses a lot more CO 2 than do the chemical and material industries, approximately 48 Mt CO 2 /yr, 3 or the output of six 1-GW coal-fired power plants. Urea production in the USA is the largest single use at 120 Mt CO 2 /yr. 2 Meanwhile, the current US power plant CO 2 emissions are estimated to be about 3 Gt CO 2 /yr, or about 15 times larger than the current US utilization rate of approximately 200 Mt CO 2 /yr. Moreover, it deserves mention here that the vast majority of CO 2 used for EOR comes from natural CO 2 reservoirs rather than anthropogenic sources. While we can envision policies arising from concern for climate that will motivate greater utilization of anthropogenic CO 2 , this greater utilization rate will occur in a future with potentially much larger rates of CO 2 emissions, assuming that global projections of increased de- mand for energy and its modes of generation are correct. Despite the raw numbers and what they reveal about the imbalance between today’s CO 2 utilization and anthropo- genic emissions, increasing CO 2 utilization is still a worthy goal.

This paper highlights how an AOPS can reduce cost, complexity, and carbon-intensity for existing offshore operations and enable new capabilities for offshore industry leaders. This new AOPS technology has two primary advantages. First, it unlocks the autonomous, electric future of the ocean economy via ‘local’ power generation and energy storage, in addition to real-time connection to the data cloud. Second, it helps enable a material change in the global energy mix through cost-effective, reliable generation and storage technology for use cases including mobile/static data-gathering and reporting systems, operating equipment, and charging networks for uncrewed surface vessels. AOPS technology will help transform the ocean economy, and thus has implications for offshore industry leaders as they push to reduce costs today and make an autonomous and decarbonized future possible.

First, the paper details the work of C-Power and Verlume, in partnership with the U.S. Navy, U.S. Department of Energy, Saab, R2Sonic, Hibbard Inshore, and other industry leaders, to deploy an AOPS at the Wave Energy Test Site in Hawaii for six months, beginning in the first half of 2023. The Hawaii AOPS will power multiple mobile and static assets capable of delivering persistent, self-contained, and self-powered intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and reporting capabilities for 24x7x52 maritime defense and border security. The ability to support this use case demonstrates AOPS applicability across a wide variety of offshore applications. Second, the paper explores a theoretical use case to deploy AOPS technology to reduce capital and operational costs and carbon emissions, as well as reduce operational complexity, at the Northern Lights carbon sequestration facility located off the Norwegian coast. While the case study examines the Northern Lights greenfield opportunity using an AOPS in lieu of a power and data umbilical, brownfield upgrades or replacements of failed/failing umbilicals are equally applicable scenarios.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4043/32664-ms","authors":["P.

However, the magnitude of all of these processes is dependent on the transformation of sinking particles during their journey through the water column. This review focuses on the movement of organic matter from the surface ocean to the deep sea via the biological carbon pump and examines the processes that prevent this downward movement-namely, attenuation via microbial colonization and zooplankton feeding.

While developed countries have been actively and willingly engaged in this struggle over the past decades, the question of how countries with substantial reserves of primary energy resources should be involved in these processes is still debatable. At the same time, the role of these countries in shaping the global carbon emissions is so visible that without adequate measures to stimulate industry in these countries, the efforts made by developed countries will have only a fragmented and insufficient effect. This article provides an overview of the key tools used to intensify the development of renewable energy as the main driver of reducing the carbon intensity of the energy sector, as well as an analysis of their significance from the perspective of countries with a resource-based economy. It shows the differences in the perception of the ongoing global processes of greening the energy sector and proposes key vectors that will generate interest in resource-economy countries. It was found that: (1) renewable energy is a promising solution to reduce carbon emissions, but only for countries that do not possess vast reserves of fuel raw materials; (2) focusing on a limited list of climate policies has devastating long-term consequences for the fossil energy industries, as seen in the decline in investment in exploration, which is a threat for global energy security; (3) engagement of countries with resource-based economy in the fight against the growth of carbon dioxide emissions should be based on the realization of their resource potential through the development of circular economy technologies, like carbon capture, utilization, and storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2022.05.259","authors":["Pavel Tcvetkov"],"tags":["Natural resource economics","Greenhouse gas","Low-carbon economy","Renewable energy","Resource (disambiguation)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-06-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2022.05.259","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.750Z"},{"id":"oa:W2990210736","name":"Beyond cost and carbon: The multidimensional co-benefits of low carbon transitions in Europe","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolecon.2019.106529","authors":["Benjamin K.

To solve these issues, researchers often use large amounts of excess Zn to ensure a continuous supply of active materials for Zn anodes. This leads to the ultralow utilization of Zn anodes and squanders the high energy density of AZMBs.

This paper evaluates the feasibility of implementing post-combustion carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCSU) technologies in NGCC power plants for end-of-pipe decarbonization in Uzbekistan. This study simulates and models a 450 MW NGCC power plant block, a first-generation, technically proven solvent—MEA-based CO2 absorption plant—and CO2 compression and pipeline transportation to nearby oil reservoirs to evaluate the technical, economic, and environmental aspects of CCSU integration. Parametric sensitivity analysis is employed to minimize energy consumption in the regeneration process. The economic analysis evaluates the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) on the basis of capital expenses (CAPEX) and operational expenses (OPEX). The results indicate that CCSU integration can significantly reduce CO2 emissions by more than 1.05 million tonnes annually at a 90% capture rate, although it impacts plant efficiency, which decreases from 55.8% to 46.8% because of the significant amount of low-pressure steam extraction for solvent regeneration at 3.97 GJ/tonne CO2 and multi-stage CO2 compression for pipeline transportation and subsequent storage. Moreover, the CO2 capture, compression, and transportation costs are almost 61 USD per tonne, with an equivalent LCOE increase of approximately 45% from the base case.

This paper assesses the potential for reducing the climate impact of road construction. The study is structured as a participatory integrated assessment with involvement from key stakeholders in the supply chain, supported by energy and material flow mapping, an extensive literature review and a scenario analysis. The results indicate that it is technically possible to halve road construction CO2 emissions with today's best available technologies and practices, to abate more than three quarters of the emissions by 2030 and achieve close to net zero emissions by 2045. Realising the current potential would rely on sufficient availability of sustainably produced second-generation biofuels, indicating a need to speed up the implementation of alternative abatement measures, including optimization of material use and mass handling requirements, increased recycling of steel, asphalt and aggregates and enhanced use of alternative binders in concrete. Policy measures and procurement strategies should be aligned to support these measures with a clear supply chain focus. For deep decarbonization several key opportunities and obstacles for realisation of breakthrough technologies for basic industry are highlighted – including electrification and carbon capture for steel and cement, and hybridisation and electrification for heavy transport and construction equipment. There is a clear need to prepare for deeper abatement and associated transformative shifts already now and to carefully consider the pathway of getting there while avoiding pitfalls along the way, such as overreliance on biofuels or cost optimizations which cannot be scaled up to the levels required.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2019.109651","authors":["Ida Karlsson","Johan Rootzén","Filip Johnsson"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Supply chain","Sustainability","Procurement","Electrification"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-12-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2019.109651","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.750Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391068031","name":"Medium-pressure hydrogen storage on activated carbon derived from biomass conversion","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study presents the utilization of activated carbons (ACs) derived from Polypodium vulgare, a commonly available feedstock, for effective medium-pressure H2 storage. For the ACs preparation, biomass was treated with KOH and then pyrolyzed at 700–900 °C. H2 adsorption was performed at 25–100 °C and pressures up to 45 bar; nine different models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Redlich–Peterson, Toth, Hill, Koble–Corrigan, Sips, and Radke–Prausnitz) were used for adjusting experimental H2 adsorption isotherms. The micropore volume in the ranges 1.4–2 nm and 0.3–1.4 nm was determined by N2 and CO2 adsorption at −196 and 0 °C, respectively. The textural characteristics and the H2 storage capacity of ACs depended on the carbonization temperature. All samples exhibited a considerable specific surface area of 1234–1591 m2/g, and significant volume of micropores with size below 1.4 nm. The H2 adsorption capacity is related with the micropore volume determined by CO2 adsorption. The AC prepared at 800 °C (G-800) showed the highest H2 uptake and both the highest specific surface area and volume of micropores with size below 1.4 nm. G-800 adsorbs 13.63 mmol H2/g (2.73 wt%) at 25 °C and 45 bar. G-800 sample also showed exceptional cyclic stability, keeping its adsorption capabilities after undergoing multiple adsorption–desorption cycles.

The CO2 adsorption data are well represented by the Dual site Langmuir isotherm equation. Based on the above understanding, a single column multilayered VSA unit was used with a guard-bed layer of superior desiccant and a main layer of 13X to simultaneously remove water (3–4% by volume) and capture CO2 (10–12%) at 30 ∘C within the same process. In this study, activated alumina CDX was selected as the appropriate pre-layer. Furthermore, we have investigated the effects of operating parameters on the multilayered CO2/H2O VSA performance.

Thus, several researches have been focused on mitigate this problem. Possible strategies involve implementing technologies of carbon capture storage and utilization. Among them, integrated processes for carbon dioxide capture and its conversion into value-added products have gained attention. Carbon dioxide hydrogenation is among the most developed technologies for its conversion, but requires an external hydrogen (H2) source. Since the conversion of carbon dioxide is highly energy-demanding, assessing its overall process sustainability requires a comprehensive study on the whole system, including its raw material sources (carbon dioxide and hydrogen). Thus, this work proposes a multi-criteria framework to select suitable sources of carbon dioxide and hydrogen to be used in the conversion of carbon dioxide. Potential sources of carbon dioxide (from power plants to ethanol fermentation) and hydrogen (from dedicated production to by-product hydrogen) were evaluated considering environmental, economic, and technical aspects associated with the usage of each source. The Technique of Order Preference Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is the multi-criteria decision analysis method used to aggregate the criteria and to rank each source individually and further in a pair-wise assessment to identify potential synergic combinations between carbon dioxide and hydrogen sources. Results suggested that using carbon dioxide from natural gas steam reforming, iron and steel industries, ethylene oxide and other high concentration point sources may be the ideal choice for sustainability. The analysis also indicated that hydrogen may be more sustainable if it is a process by-product or is produced by low-cost wind-powered electrolysis. It is important to consider that the analysis is based on several specific data inputs and assumptions, and that a lower score does not mean that the source is not worth investing in.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2021.111542","authors":["José Vinicius Lopes","Antônio E.

Recent research suggests that existing bottom-up inventories of livestock methane emissions in the US, such as those made using 2006 IPCC Tier 1 livestock emissions factors, are too low. This may be due to outdated information used to develop these emissions factors. In this study, we update information for cattle and swine by region, based on reported recent changes in animal body mass, feed quality and quantity, milk productivity, and management of animals and manure. We then use this updated information to calculate new livestock methane emissions factors for enteric fermentation in cattle, and for manure management in cattle and swine. RESULTS: Using the new emissions factors, we estimate global livestock emissions of 119.1 ± 18.2 Tg methane in 2011; this quantity is 11% greater than that obtained using the IPCC 2006 emissions factors, encompassing an 8.4% increase in enteric fermentation methane, a 36.7% increase in manure management methane, and notable variability among regions and sources. For example, revised manure management methane emissions for 2011 in the US increased by 71.8%. For years through 2013, we present (a) annual livestock methane emissions, (b) complete annual livestock carbon budgets, including carbon dioxide emissions, and (c) spatial distributions of livestock methane and other carbon fluxes, downscaled to 0.05 × 0.05 degree resolution. CONCLUSIONS: Our revised bottom-up estimates of global livestock methane emissions are comparable to recently reported top-down global estimates for recent years, and account for a significant part of the increase in annual methane emissions since 2007. Our results suggest that livestock methane emissions, while not the dominant overall source of global methane emissions, may be a major contributor to the observed annual emissions increases over the 2000s to 2010s. Differences at regional and local scales may help distinguish livestock methane emissions from those of other sectors in future top-down studies. The revised estimates allow improved reconciliation of top-down and bottom-up estimates of methane emissions, will facilitate the development and evaluation of Earth system models, and provide consistent regional and global Tier 1 estimates for environmental assessments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13021-017-0084-y","authors":["Julie Wolf","Ghassem Asrar","Tristram O.

Herein, we report a facile method to prepare green and NIR dual-mode afterglow of carbon dots (CDs) through in situ embedding o-CDs (being prepared from o-phenylenediamine) into cyanuric acid (CA) matrix (named o-CDs@CA). Further studies reveal that the green and NIR afterglows of o-CDs@CA originate from thermal activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of o-CDs, respectively. In addition, the formation of covalent bonds between o-CDs and CA, and the presence of multiple fixation and rigid effects to the triplet states of o-CDs are confirmed to be critical for activating the observed dual-mode afterglow. Due to the shorter lifetime and insensitiveness to human vision of the NIR RTP of o-CDs@CA, it is completely covered by the green TADF during directly observing. The NIR RTP signal, however, can be readily captured if an optical filter (cut-off wavelength of 600 nm) being used. By utilizing these unique features, the applications of o-CDs@CA in anti-counterfeiting and information encryption have been demonstrated with great confidentiality.

Resolving the discrepancies between NEE estimates based upon (1) ground studies and (2) atmospheric inversion results, demands increasingly sophisticated techniques. In this paper we present a high-resolution inversion based upon a regional meteorology model (RAMS) and an underlying biosphere (SiB3) model, both running on an identical 40 km grid over most of North America. Current operational systems like CarbonTracker as well as many previous global inversions including the Transcom suite of inversions have utilized inversion regions formed by collapsing biome-similar grid cells into larger aggregated regions. An extreme example of this might be where corrections to NEE imposed on forested regions on the east coast of the United States might be the same as that imposed on forests on the west coast of the United States while, in reality, there likely exist subtle differences in the two areas, both natural and anthropogenic. Our current inversion framework utilizes a combination of previously employed inversion techniques while allowing carbon flux corrections to be biome independent. Temporally and spatially high-resolution results utilizing biome-independent corrections provide insight into carbon dynamics in North America. In particular, we analyze hourly CO2 mixing ratio data from a sparse network of eight towers in North America for 2004. A prior estimate of carbon fluxes due to Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) is constructed from the SiB3 biosphere model on a 40 km grid. A combination of transport from the RAMS and the Parameterized Chemical Transport Model (PCTM) models is used to forge a connection between upwind biosphere fluxes and downwind observed CO2 mixing ratio data. A Kalman filter procedure is used to estimate weekly corrections to biosphere fluxes based upon observed CO2. RMSE-weighted annual NEE estimates, over an ensemble of potential inversion parameter sets, show a mean estimate 0.57 Pg/yr sink in North America. We perform the inversion with two independently derived boundary inflow conditions and calculate jackknife-based statistics to test the robustness of the model results. We then compare final results to estimates obtained from the CarbonTracker inversion system and at the Southern Great Plains flux site. Results are promising, showing the ability to correct carbon fluxes from the biosphere models over annual and seasonal time scales, as well as over the different GPP and ER components. Additionally, the correlation of an estimated sink of carbon in the South Central United States with regional anomalously high precipitation in an area of managed agricultural and forest lands provides interesting hypotheses for future work.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-7-1625-2010","authors":["A.

It is a promising method of storing hydrogen and eliminates the challenges associated with storing hydrogen gas at high pressure, which includes material durability, tank safety, and overall weight. Much work has been done for the past decade to bring this approach closer to wide‐scale application. However, much experimental research is needed to improve the volumetric and gravimetric capacity, hydrogen adsorption/desorption kinetics, material life cycle, and reaction thermodynamics of potential materials for hydrogen storage. Other important properties to consider are transient performance, the regeneration process of spent storage materials, effective adsorption temperature associated with activation energy, induced pore sizes in materials, increasing pore volume and surface area, and materials densification. In recent years, this solid‐state storage has progressed at conditions close to normal atmospheric pressure and temperature, with metal hydrides (MHs) emerging as a promising option. Their high storage density per unit volume, volume storage capabilities, and their ability to reverse the process while maintaining stability have qualified the MHs for low‐pressure storage and fulfilling the hydrogen storing requirements. However, understanding the principles of kinetics and thermodynamics is crucial for understanding the reactions of MHs as they absorb and release hydrogen.

The combination of large, concentrated carbon fluxes and rapid change makes cities key elements of the carbon cycle and offers the potential for them to serve as “first responders” for climate action. Estimates of urban‐scale carbon fluxes are significantly more uncertain than at larger spatial scales, in part because past studies have mostly avoided local/urban scales where the mix of anthropogenic and natural fluxes is complex and difficult to observationally isolate. To develop effective emission reduction policies, we need to understand emission sources and how they may be changing. Such improved quantification and understanding of underlying processes at the urban scale will not only provide policy‐relevant information and improve the understanding of urban dynamics and future scenarios, but will also translate into better global‐scale anthropogenic flux estimates, and advance our understanding of carbon cycle and climate feedbacks across multiple scales. Understanding the relationship between urbanization and urban carbon flows requires intellectual integration with research communities beyond the natural sciences. Cities can serve as interdisciplinary process laboratories that are sufficiently constrained in both spatial and governance scale to support truly integrated research by the natural sciences, social sciences, and engineering. A thoughtfully crafted science research agenda that is grounded in sustained, dense observations relevant to estimating urban carbon fluxes and their controlling processes and is focused on a statistically significant sample of cities will advance our understanding of the carbon cycle.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2014ef000255","authors":["Lucy R.

Carbon capture technologies are employed for reducing the emissions from existing huge point sources, along with capturing them from direct air, to reduce the existing concentration. This paper provides a quantitative analysis of the various subtypes of carbon capture technologies with the aim of providing an assessment of each from technological, social, geo-political, economic, and environmental perspectives. Since the emissions intensity and quantity, along with the social–political–economic conditions, vary in different geographic regions, prioritising and finding the right type of technology is critical for achieving ambitious net-zero targets. Four main types of carbon capture technology were analysed (adsorption, absorption, membrane, and cryogenic) under four scenarios depending on the jurisdiction. The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (also known as the TOPSIS method) was used to establish a quantitative ranking of each, where weightages were allocated according to the emissions status and economics of each depending on the jurisdiction. Furthermore, forecasting the trends for technology types vis à vis carbon neutral targets between 2040 and 2050 was carried out by applying regression analysis on existing data and the emissions footprint of major contributing countries. The study found the membrane score to be the highest in the TOPSIS analysis in three of the four scenarios analysed. However, absorption remains the most popular for post-combustion capture despite having the highest energy penalty per ton of CO2 capture. Overall, capture rates are well short of projections for carbon neutrality; the methodology put forward for prioritising and aligning appropriate technologies and the region-by-region analysis will help highlight to technocrats, governments, and policymakers the state of the art and how to best utilise them to mitigate carbon emissions—critical in achieving the net-zero goals set at various international agreements on climate change.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17061460","authors":["Amith Karayil","Ahmed Elseragy","Aliyu M.

We focus here on deploying a combination of coal and biomass energy to produce electricity in China using an integrated gasification cycle system combined with carbon capture and storage (CBECCS). Such a system will also reduce air pollutant emissions, thus contributing to China's near-term goal of improving air quality. We evaluate the bus-bar electricity-generation prices for CBECCS with mixing ratios of crop residues varying from 0 to 100%, as well as associated costs for carbon mitigation and cobenefits for air quality. We find that CBECCS systems employing a crop residue ratio of 35% could produce electricity with net-zero life-cycle emissions of greenhouse gases, with a levelized cost of electricity of no more than 9.2 US cents per kilowatt hour. A carbon price of approximately $52.0 per ton would make CBECCS cost-competitive with pulverized coal power plants. Therefore, our results provide critical insights for designing a CBECCS strategy in China to harness near-term air-quality cobenefits while laying the foundation for achieving negative carbon emissions in the long run.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1812239116","authors":["Xi Lu","Liang Cao","Haikun Wang","Wei Peng","Jia Xing","Shuxiao Wang","Siyi Cai","Bo Shen","Qing Yang","Chris Nielsen","Michael B.

This makes it difficult to assess the greenhouse gas (GHG) consequences of different forest management or manufacturing activities that maintain the storage of carbon. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) addresses this issue by allowing other accounting methods. The objective of this paper is to provide a new model for estimating annual stock changes of carbon in harvested wood products (HWP). RESULTS: The model, British Columbia Harvested Wood Products version 1 (BC-HWPv1), estimates carbon stocks and fluxes for wood harvested in BC from 1965 to 2065, based on new parameters on local manufacturing, updated and new information for North America on consumption and disposal of wood and paper products, and updated parameters on methane management at landfills in the USA. Based on model results, reporting on emissions as they occur would substantially lower BC's greenhouse gas inventory in 2010 from 48 Mt CO2 to 26 Mt CO2 because of the long-term forest carbon storage in-use and in the non-degradable material in landfills. In addition, if offset projects created under BC's protocol reported 100 year cumulative emissions using the BC-HWPv1 the emissions would be lower by about 11%. CONCLUSIONS: This research showed that the IPCC default methods overestimate the emissions North America wood products. Future IPCC GHG accounting methods could include a lower emissions factor (e.g. 0.52) multiplied by the annual harvest, rather than the current multiplier of 1.0. The simulations demonstrated that the primary opportunities for climate change mitigation are in shifting from burning mill waste to using the wood for longer-lived products.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/1750-0680-7-8","authors":["Caren C.

Most work, however, has focused on their ability to push innovations or emerging technologies forward, emphasising their involvement in disrupting incumbent regimes or firms. However, in focusing on new entrants, often at the grassroots level, such literature runs the risk of overlooking the potentially positive role that incumbent transition intermediaries—those oriented to work with or centrally consider the interests of dominant government, market or civic stakeholders—can play in meeting sustainable energy and transport goals. In this paper, we focus specifically on five different incumbent transition intermediaries—Smart Energy GB in the United Kingdom, Energiesprong in the Netherlands, SULPU in Finland, CERTU in France, and the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association —and explain their efforts to meet socially desirable goals of accelerating innovation or decarbonizing energy or transport systems. We ask: Why were these intermediaries created, and what problems do they respond to? How do they function? What are their longer-term strategies and aspirations? In what ways do they reflect, reinforce, or otherwise shape incumbency? In answering these questions via a comparative case study approach, the paper aims to make contributions to the study of incumbency and intermediation in the context of transitions, to identifying different types of incumbent intermediaries (market, governmental, civic), and to informing debates over energy and climate policy and politics.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2020.101490","authors":["Benjamin K.

This paper proposes an approach on enhancing energy density under low electric field through compositionally inducing tricriticality in Ba(Ti,Sn)O3ferroelectric material system with enlarged dielectric response. The optimal dielectric permittivity at tricritical point can reach toεr = 5.4 × 104, and the associated energy density goes to around 30 mJ/cm3at the electric field of 10 kV/cm, which exceeds most of the selected ferroelectric materials at the same field strength. The microstructure nature for such a tricritical behavior shows polarization inhomogeneity in nanometeric scale, which indicates a large polarizability under external electric field. Further phenomenological Landau modeling suggests that large dielectric permittivity and energy density can be ascribed to the vanishing of energy barrier for polarization altering caused by tricriticality. Our results may shed light on developing energy-storing dielectrics with large permittivity and energy density at low electric field.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/srep40916","authors":["Jinghui Gao","Yan Wang","Yongbin Liu","Xinghao Hu","Xiaoqin Ke","Lisheng Zhong","Yuting He","Xiaobing Ren"],"tags":["Dielectric","Electric field","Permittivity","Condensed matter physics","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2017-01-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/srep40916","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.751Z"},{"id":"oa:W2964330105","name":"Perovskite nanocrystals for energy conversion and storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract The high demand for energy consumption in everyday life, and fears of climate change are driving the scientific community to explore prospective materials for efficient energy conversion and storage.

CO2 at 5-50% concentrations was passed through a gas-exchange membrane and transferred into liquid media--tap water or simulated brine. When using water, capture efficiencies exceeded 50% and could be enhanced by adding base (e.g., sodium hydroxide) or the combination of base and carbonic anhydrase, a catalyst that speeds the conversion of CO2 to carbonic acid. The transferred CO2 formed ions, such as bicarbonate or carbonate, depending on the amount of base present. Adding precipitating cations, like Ca++, produced insoluble carbonate salts. Simulated brine proved nearly as efficient as water in absorbing CO2, with less than a 6% reduction in CO2 transferred. The CO2 either dissolved into the brine or formed a mixture of gas and ions. If the chemistry was favorable, carbonate precipitate spontaneously formed. Energy expenditure of pumping brine up and down from subterranean depths was modeled. We conclude that using brine in a gas-exchange membrane system for capturing CO2 from a gas stream to liquid is technically feasible and can be accomplished at a reasonable expenditure of energy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10473289.2006.10464568","authors":["Daniel Dziedzic","Kenneth B.

Comprehensive characterization was conducted through SEM, FESEM, XRD, TGA, and FTIR techniques to assess the properties.

Particularly, due to their promising structural and functional properties for energy conversion and storage, the applications of PDCs in these fields have attracted much attention in recent years. This review highlights the recent progress in the PDC field with the focus on energy conversion and storage applications. Firstly, a brief introduction of the Si-based polymer-derived ceramics in terms of synthesis, processing, and microstructure characterization is provided, followed by a summary of PDCs used in energy conversion systems (mainly in gas turbine engines), including fundamentals and material issues, ceramic matrix composites, ceramic fibers, thermal and environmental barrier coatings, as well as high-temperature sensors. Subsequently, applications of PDCs in the field of energy storage are reviewed with a strong focus on anode materials for lithium and sodium ion batteries. The possible applications of the PDCs in Li-S batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells are discussed as well. Finally, a summary of the reported applications and perspectives for future research with PDCs are presented.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40145-021-0562-2","authors":["Qingbo Wen","Fangmu Qu","Zhaoju Yu","Magdalena Graczyk‐Zając","Xiang Xiong","Ralf Riedel"],"tags":["Ceramic","Materials science","Energy storage","Anode","Ceramic matrix composite"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-01-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40145-021-0562-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.751Z"},{"id":"oa:W2811446217","name":"Multi-objective Optimization of a Carbon Dioxide Utilization Superstructure for the Synthesis of Formic and Acetic Acid","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-444-64235-6.50248-5","authors":["Juan D.

The genes related to the tetrahydrofolate and serine cycles from Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 were overexpressed for formate assimilation, which was proved by the 13 C-labeling experiments.

The genomes of evolved mutants were sequenced and the mutations were associated with formate dehydrogenation, folate metabolism, and biofilm formation.

Regional land carbon budgets provide insights into the spatial distribution of the land uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide and can be used to evaluate carbon cycle models and to define baselines for land-based additional mitigation efforts. The scientific community has been involved in providing observation-based estimates of regional carbon budgets either by downscaling atmospheric CO2 observations into surface fluxes with atmospheric inversions, by using inventories of carbon stock changes in terrestrial ecosystems, by upscaling local field observations such as flux towers with gridded climate and remote sensing fields, or by integrating data-driven or process-oriented terrestrial carbon cycle models. The first coordinated attempt to collect regional carbon budgets for nine regions covering the entire globe in the RECCAP-1 project has delivered estimates for the decade 2000–2009, but these budgets were not comparable between regions due to different definitions and component fluxes being reported or omitted. The recent recognition of lateral fluxes of carbon by human activities and rivers that connect CO2 uptake in one area with its release in another also requires better definitions and protocols to reach harmonized regional budgets that can be summed up to a globe scale and compared with the atmospheric CO2 growth rate and inversion results. In this study, using the international initiative RECCAP-2 coordinated by the Global Carbon Project, which aims to be an update to regional carbon budgets over the last 2 decades based on observations for 10 regions covering the globe with a better harmonization than the precursor project, we provide recommendations for using atmospheric inversion results to match bottom-up carbon accounting and models, and we define the different component fluxes of the net land atmosphere carbon exchange that should be reported by each research group in charge of each region.

Different low-temperature heat DACCS configurations are considered, i.e., coupled to the national power grid, using waste heat and powered by curtailed electricity.

The results further highlight the following key findings: (i) the limited availability of waste heat, with only Sweden potentially compensating nearly 10% of national emissions through CDR, and (ii) the need for considering transport and storage of CO 2 in a comprehensive techno-economic assessment of DACCS.

This research analyses the techno-economic potential of waste heat recovery from multi-MW scale green hydrogen production. A 10 MW proton exchange membrane electrolysis process is modelled with a heat recovery system coupled with an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to drive the mechanical compression of hydrogen. The technical results demonstrate that when implementing waste heat recovery coupled with an ORC, the first-law efficiency of electrolyser increases from 71.4% to 98%. The ORC can generate sufficient power to drive the hydrogen's compression from the outlet pressure at the electrolyser 30 bar, up to 200 bar. An economic analysis is conducted to calculate the levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH) of system and assess the feasibility of implementing waste heat recovery coupled with ORC. The results reveal that electricity prices dominate the LCOH. When electricity prices are low (e.g., dedicated offshore wind electricity), the LCOH is higher when implementing heat recovery. The additional capital expenditure and operating expenditure associated with the ORC increases the LCOH and these additional costs outweigh the savings generated by not purchasing electricity for compression. On the other hand, heat recovery and ORC become attractive and feasible when grid electricity prices are higher.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2023.121333","authors":["Ana María Villarreal Vives","Ruiqi Wang","Sumit Roy","Andrew Smallbone"],"tags":["Organic Rankine cycle","Hydrogen production","Electricity","Waste management","Waste heat"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-06-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2023.121333","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.751Z"},{"id":"oa:W2025430917","name":"Solid Adsorbents for Low-Temperature CO2 Capture with Low-Energy Penalties Leading to More Effective Integrated Solutions for Power Generation and Industrial Processes","source":"openalex","abstract":"CO2 capture represents the key technology for CO2 reduction within the framework of CO2 capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).

To this end, highly efficient CO2 capture technologies are needed, and adsorption using solid adsorbents has the potential to be one of the ideal options. Currently, the greatest challenge in this area is the development of adsorbents with high performance that balances a range of optimization-needed factors, those including costs, efficiency, and engineering feasibility. In this review, recent advances on the development of carbon-based and immobilized organic amines-based CO2 adsorbents are summarized, the selection of these particular categories of materials is because they are among the most developed low temperature (<100 oC) CO2 adsorbents up to date, which showed important potential for practical deployment at pilot-scale in the near future. Preparation protocols, adsorption behaviors as well as pros and cons of each type of the adsorbents are presented, it was concluded that encouraging results have been achieved already, however, the development of more effective adsorbents for CO2 capture remains challenging and further innovations in the design and synthesis of adsorbents are needed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2015.00009","authors":["Nannan Sun","Zhiyong Tang","Wei Wei","Colin E.

Black carbon (BC) emission from biofuel cooking in South Asia and its radiative forcing is a significant source of uncertainty for health and climate impact studies. Quantification of BC emissions in the published literature is either based on laboratory or remote field observations far away from the source. For the first time under Project Surya, we use field measurements taken simultaneously inside rural households, ambient air and vehicular emissions from highways in a rural area in the Indo-Gangetic-Plains region of India to establish the role of both solid biomass based cooking in traditional stoves and diesel vehicles in contributing to high BC and organic carbon (OC), and solar absorption. The major finding of this study is that BC concentrations during cooking hours, both indoors and outdoors, have anomalously large twice-daily peak concentrations reaching 60 μg m−3 (median 15-min average value) for indoor and 30 μg m−3 (median 15-min average value) for outdoor during the early morning (05:00 to 08:00) and early evening (17:00 to 19:00) hours coinciding with the morning and evening cooking hours. The BC during the non-cooking hours were also large, in the range of 2 to 30 μg m−3. The peak indoor BC concentrations reached as high as 1000 μg m−3. The large diurnal peaks seen in this study lead to the conclusion that satellite based aerosol studies that rely on once- daily daytime measurements may severely underestimate the BC loading of the atmosphere. The concentration of OC was a factor of 5 larger than BC and furthermore optical data show that absorbing brown carbon was a major component of the OC. The imprint of the cooking hour peaks were seen in the outdoor BC both in the village as well as in the highway. The results have significant implications for climate and epidemiological studies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-11-7289-2011","authors":["Imdadullah Hidayat-ur-Rehman","Tanvir Ahmed","P. S.

Over the last three decades, India's CO2 emissions have increased at a growth rate of 3.1 % mainly consumption of fossil fuels. In this global and Indian situation, the best method, besides renewable energy sources, is Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), which will make it possible to achieve net-zero emissions targets within this century. Given this, a brief review and discussion that aims to study India's development in CCUS deployment and its importance for sustainable development were conducted.

In this study, we analyze different strategies that the firm can pursue and determine the optimal investment timing. In doing so, we take into account both technological uncertainty, i.e. the unknown time-to-market of CCU, and market uncertainty, i.e. the CO 2 price. Three different CCUS value chains in the cement industry are analyzed. We find that the anticipated arrival of profitable CCU technologies in the future does not delay investments in CCS in the current period. Investments in CCS and CCU can be accelerated by reducing the volatility of the CO 2 price, or by increasing the growth rate of the CO 2 price. Finally, we find that a higher fraction of CO 2 emissions that can be used in CCU, results in sooner adoption of CCS today.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jeem.2023.102902","authors":["Hanne Lamberts-Van Assche","Maria Lavrutich","Tine Compernolle","Gwenny Thomassen","Jacco Thijssen","Peter M.

Thus, it keeps the Earth’s heat, without which the Earth would be unbearably cold. However, the increase in the quantity of CO 2 in the Earth’s atmosphere contributes to the exacerbation of global warming. CO 2 is mainly produced from the processes of combustion of fuel and petroleum, as well as from the breathing process of living organisms. This study aims to provide a comprehensive view of carbon dioxide, including the main sources of emissions that resulted in negative effects, as well as the various ways to control these emissions by conducting a separation process during fuel combustion in power plants and preventing the release of large quantities into the atmosphere. Finally, an objective viewpoint on how to benefit from separated carbon dioxide and turn it into highly valuable products is presented. Given that this is a global problem that affects our planet, this review links other literature that deals with each part separately, and thus it presents a clear and comprehensive vision that enables the reader to be aware of carbon dioxide gas from all perspectives, concluding with future studies that are required to prevent an increase in negative effects in order to preserve the quality of life in our planet.

While the model broadly reproduces observed aspects of the carbon cycle, there are several notable biases, including having too large of an increase in atmospheric CO2 over the twentieth century and too small of a seasonal cycle of atmospheric CO2 in the Northern Hemisphere.

The three components significantly contributed to regulate C storage, but dominance and diversity of traits were associated with C storage in different directions. Structural equation models (SEMs) of dominance and diversity explained 34% and 32% of variation in C storage. Environments explained 26-44% of variation in dominance and diversity. Similar proportions of variation in C storage were explained by dominance and diversity in regression models, they were improved after adding environments. Diversity of maximum diameter was the best predictor of C storage. Complementarity and selection effects contributed to C storage simultaneously, and had similar importance. The SEMs disengaged the complex relationships among the three components and C storage, and established a framework to show the direct and indirect effects (via dominance and diversity) of local environments on C storage.

Most carbon capture and storage research has focused on technical and economic aspects. However, there is a growing recognition of the systemic nature of sustainability transitions and the importance of diverse societal considerations. Despite this emerging focus, the research field is constrained by persistent assumptions. This critical scoping review of social scientific research on carbon capture and storage analysed 108 research articles. Using a combination of manual and artificial intelligence coding, the analysis focused on identifying social variables. The review identified three key themes: acceptance, engagement and participation, and governance and policy. Social scientific research on carbon capture and storage has been dominated by an acceptance-awareness paradigm and a tendency to view the public solely as actors impacted by the transition. Normative questions have received limited attention, though new interest is emerging. These paradigms and identified research gaps suggest that the field has adopted a transition perspective rather than a transformation perspective. By discussing the differences between these perspectives, this review provides a novel understanding of the research field, which can support socially sustainable development as carbon capture and storage momentum grows. Additionally, the review explores the advantages and challenges of employing artificial intelligence tools in qualitative social sciences. • Transition perspective characterises social scientific research on CCS. • Acceptance dominates CCS research, but its diversity is growing. • Transformation perspective links CCS to more fundamental sustainability debates. • The use of AI in social sciences needs more methodological debate.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2024.115063","authors":["Senni Määttä","Vincent de Gooyert"],"tags":["Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Engineering ethics","Data science","Computer science","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2024.115063","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.751Z"},{"id":"oa:W3217216416","name":"The carbohydrate-active enzyme database: functions and literature","source":"openalex","abstract":"Thirty years have elapsed since the emergence of the classification of carbohydrate-active enzymes in sequence-based families that became the CAZy database over 20 years ago, freely available for browsing and download at www.cazy.org.

The realization of a carbon-neutral environment is the main focus of science and academic researchers of today. Several processes were employed to minimize carbon dioxide in the air, some of which include the utilization of non-fossil sources of energy like solar, nuclear, and biomass-based fuels. Consequently, these sources were reported to have a relatively high cost of production and maintenance. The applications of both homogeneous and heterogeneous processes in carbon capture and storage were investigated in recent years and the focus now is on the conversion of CO2 into useful chemicals and compounds. It was established that CO2 can undergo cycloaddition reaction with epoxides under the influence of special catalysts to give cyclic carbonates, which can be used as value-added chemicals at a different level of pharmaceutical and industrial applications. Among the various catalysts studied for this reaction, metal-organic frameworks are now on the frontline as a potential catalyst due to their special features and easy synthesis. Several metal-organic framework (MOF)-based catalysts were studied for their application in transforming CO2 to organic carbonates using epoxides.

The land sink in particular has increased markedly, doubling in strength since the 1960s, to reach 26 petagrams of carbon in the latest decade. However, the location and drivers of this large terrestrial sink are still relatively poorly constrained by atmospheric measurements (Ciais et al., ). Pan et al. (2011) recently utilized >1 million forest inventory plots to provide summaries of forest carbon stocks, and the first global bottom-up estimates of carbon fluxes for the world's forest biomes for the period 1990–2007. One key result was that almost all the residual global terrestrial carbon sink (i.e. carbon uptake after accounting for land-use change), some 2.4 ± 0.4 Pg of carbon per year, is located in the world's established forests (Pan et al., 2011). The sink is distributed worldwide, with globally significant net fluxes into boreal and temperate forests, and a large sink in intact tropical forest, albeit with large uncertainty. Furthermore, Pan et al. (2011) showed that this tropical intact forest sink may have faded from an estimated annual 1.3 ± 0.4 Pg C in the 1990s to 1.0 ± 0.5 Pg C for 2000–2007. The tropical intact forest sink is offset by a net land-use emission [1.5 Pg C yr−1 (1990–1999)] declining to [1.1 Pg C yr−1 (2000–2007)], and as a consequence aircraft measurements and inverse modelling studies indicate the tropics to be close to neutral in terms of net carbon fluxes (reviewed by Ciais et al., ). While the intact tropical forest sink values represent updates from similar values published previously (e.g. Lewis et al., 2009), the fact that almost the entire residual terrestrial carbon sink is accounted for by the forests of the world was a notable discovery. Evidence from the ground now points to established forests being a net sink across almost every major forest region, including all extra-tropical forest regions analysed. In a recent letter to this journal, Wright (2013) contested only the report of a sink in intact tropical forests. In so doing, he focused on only one aspect of the paper, ignoring the global result from Pan et al. (2011). Wright made three specific claims. Firstly, that the reported tropical forest sink is too large because of our definition of ‘tropical forest’. Secondly, that we ignored vital data in our analyses. Finally, he devotes most space to arguing that carbon dioxide fertilization cannot be substantially responsible for the global forest sink. We briefly address each in turn. Wright argues that by using a globally consistent forest definition that includes more open forests (FAO, ), we overestimate the carbon sink. Pan et al. (2011) is a global-scale report, so we use the widely used global definition. Furthermore, there is no generally accepted single definition of tropical forest (see Torello-Raventos et al., 2013). We agree the network of forest monitoring plots used in the analysis is certainly biased away from more open forests. The key question is therefore: will applying mean rates of increase in carbon storage from more closed forest to more open forest overestimate the total sink? Wright considers this to be the case, explaining that the ‘changes in carbon stocks are potentially much larger in tall, closed canopy forests than those in stunted, open forests.’ This is not necessarily so. There are numerous reports of significant closed forest advance and large biomass gains at the dry margins of forests in regions not captured by our networks [e.g., Bowman et al., 2010 (Australia); Mitchard et al., 2009 (central Africa); Buitenwerf et al., 2012 (southern Africa)]. More fundamentally, if carbon dioxide is a driver of the increases in biomass then drier forests may well show greater sensitivity as they are more water limited and carbon dioxide increases water use efficiency (e.g., Keenan et al., 2013).

Building a business case for CO2 capture that includes utilization as well as storage was the theme for the 11th Annual Carbon Capture, Utilization and Sequestration (CCUS) conference last year in Pittsburgh USA, which, for the first time, included utilization in the conference name. This change in emphasis from pure storage to utilization and storage in general, and to CO2-EOR in particular, does not obviate the need for research in storage; far from it. In fact, combining utilization and storage optimally for CO2-EOR requires detailed knowledge and understanding of the multiphase flow and miscibility processes in three-phase CO2-oil-brine systems. And, of course, the same breakthroughs in technology on the capture side are present whether pure storage or utilization and storage are the objectives. Because this latest CCUS conference was the first in which the US Department of Energy laid out the business case for CO2-EOR, it will take another year or more for new research focused on CO2-EOR to start to appear at the conference. Nevertheless, we wanted to start highlighting research from this annual conference now and look forward to future focus on utilization research in particular. To this end, this special issue of Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology is a collection of papers from the best oral or poster presentations at the conference, as nominated by delegates. The papers span a wide range of topics representative of the wide scope of this annual CCUS conference. Approaches to capture are discussed by Pan et al. who provide a technical economic analysis of CO2 capture by an anti-sublimation process.3 The paper by Feldpausch-Parker et al. outlines a novel approach to education. It introduces an educational video game, which uses melodrama to create an understanding of CO2 as the villain and humans as heroes through participation in mitigation strategies, to try to address some of the opposing ideologies to CCS.4 This is followed by an article by Begag et al. who have been working with superhydrophobic amine functionalized aerogels as sorbents for CO2 capture.5 The very real issues of reservoir management and leakage, that are relevant to pure storage as well as utilization and storage, are addressed in the papers by Cunningham et al.6 and Elliot et al.,7 and safety distances for pipeline transportation of carbon dioxide are estimated in the paper by Mazzoldi et al.8 Finally an economic evaluation of offshore storage potential in the US exclusive economic zone is put forward by Eccles and Pratson.9","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ghg.1333","authors":["Curtis M.

A common, simple biogeochemical model is utilized in different coarse‐resolution ocean circulation models. The model mean (±1σ) downward flux of organic matter across 75 m depth is 17 ± 6 Pg C yr−1. Model means of globally averaged particle export, the fraction of total export in dissolved form, surface semilabile dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and seasonal net outgassing (SNO) of oxygen are in good agreement with observation‐based estimates, but particle export and surface DOC are too high in the tropics. There is a high sensitivity of the results to circulation, as evidenced by (1) the correlation of surface DOC and export with circulation metrics, including chlorofluorocarbon inventory and deep‐ocean radiocarbon, (2) very large intermodel differences in Southern Ocean export, and (3) greater export production, fraction of export as DOM, and SNO in models with explicit mixed layer physics. However, deep‐ocean oxygen, which varies widely among the models, is poorly correlated with other model indices. Cross‐model means of several biogeochemical metrics show better agreement with observation‐based estimates when restricted to those models that best simulate deep‐ocean radiocarbon.

The analysis also estimated the potential revenues derived from a merchant storage plant in a restructured market, based on marginal system prices. Due to suppression of on-/off-peak price differentials and incomplete capture of system benefits (such as the cost of power plant starts), the revenue obtained by storage in a market setting appears to be substantially less than the net benefit provided to the system.

The pressing need to reduce emissions and increase carbon removal from the atmosphere is now also leading to the development of natural climate solutions in the ocean. Interest in the carbon sequestration potential of underwater macroalgal forests is growing rapidly among policy, conservation, and corporate sectors. Yet, our understanding of whether carbon sequestration from macroalgal forests can lead to tangible climate change mitigation remains severely limited, hampering their inclusion in international policy or carbon finance frameworks. Here, we examine the results of over 180 publications to synthesise evidence regarding macroalgal forest carbon sequestration potential. We show that research efforts on macroalgae carbon sequestration are heavily skewed towards particulate organic carbon (POC) pathways (77% of data publications), and that carbon fixation is the most studied flux (55%). Fluxes leading directly to carbon sequestration (e.g. carbon export or burial in marine sediments) remain poorly resolved, likely hindering regional or country‐level assessments of carbon sequestration potential, which are only available from 17 of the 150 countries where macroalgal forests occur. To solve this issue, we present a framework to categorize coastlines according to their carbon sequestration potential. Finally, we review the multiple avenues through which this sequestration can translate into climate change mitigation capacity, which largely depends on whether management interventions can increase carbon removal above a natural baseline or avoid further carbon emissions. We find that conservation, restoration and afforestation interventions on macroalgal forests can potentially lead to carbon removal in the order of 10's of Tg C globally. Although this is lower than current estimates of natural sequestration value of all macroalgal habitats (61–268 Tg C year −1 ), it suggests that macroalgal forests could add to the total mitigation potential of coastal blue carbon ecosystems, and offer valuable mitigation opportunities in polar and temperate areas where blue carbon mitigation is currently low. Operationalizing that potential will necessitate the development of models that reliably estimate the proportion of production sequestered, improvements in macroalgae carbon fingerprinting techniques, and a rethinking of carbon accounting methodologies. The ocean provides major opportunities to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and the largest coastal vegetated habitat on Earth should not be ignored simply because it does not fit into existing frameworks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/brv.12990","authors":["Albert Pessarrodona","Rita Melo Franco-Santos","Luka Seamus Wright","Mathew A.

Carbon use efficiency (CUE) estimates have consequently ignored the formation of residues (non-living microbial products) although such materials could represent an important sink of glucose that is prone to stabilization as soil organic matter. We examined the dynamics of microbial residue formation from a short tracer experiment with frequent samplings over 72 h, and conducted a meta-analysis of previously published glucose tracing studies to assess the generality of these experimental results. Both our experiment and meta-analysis indicated 30–34% of amended glucose-C (13C or 14C) was in the form of residues within the first 6 h of substrate addition. We expand the conventional efficiency calculation to include residues in both the numerator and denominator of efficiency, thereby deriving a novel metric of the potential persistence of glucose-C in soil as living microbial biomass plus residues (‘carbon stabilization efficiency’). This new metric indicates nearly 40% of amended glucose-C persists in soil 180 days after amendment, the majority as non-biomass residues. Starting microbial biomass and clay content emerge as critical factors that positively promote such long term stabilization of labile C. Rapid residue production supports the conclusion that non-growth maintenance activity can illicit high demands for C in soil, perhaps equaling that directed towards growth, and that residues may have an underestimated role in the cycling and sequestration potential of C in soil.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10533-020-00720-4","authors":["Kevin M.

Most of the resulting biomass is exported through the coastal ocean as detritus and yet almost no field measurements have verified its potential net sequestration in marine sediments. This gap limits the scope for the inclusion of macroalgae within blue carbon schemes that support ocean carbon sequestration globally, and the understanding of the role their carbon plays within distal food webs. Here, we pursued three lines of evidence (eDNA sequencing, Bayesian Stable Isotope Mixing Modeling, and benthic‐pelagic process measurements) to generate needed, novel data addressing this gap. To this end, a 13‐month study was undertaken at a deep coastal sedimentary site in the English Channel, and the surrounding shoreline of Plymouth, UK. The eDNA sequencing indicated that detritus from most macroalgae in surrounding shores occurs within deep, coastal sediments, with detritus supply reflecting the seasonal ecology of individual species. Bayesian stable isotope mixing modeling [C and N] highlighted its vital role in supporting the deep coastal benthic food web (22–36% of diets), especially when other resources are seasonally low. The magnitude of detritus uptake within the food web and sediments varies seasonally, with an average net sedimentary organic macroalgal carbon sequestration of 8.75 g C·m −2 ·yr −1 . The average net sequestration of particulate organic carbon in sediments is 58.74 g C·m −2 ·yr −1 , the two rates corresponding to 4–5% and 26–37% of those associated with mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrass beds, systems more readily identified as blue carbon habitats. These novel data provide important first estimates that help to contextualize the importance of macroalgal‐sedimentary connectivity for deep coastal food webs, and measured fluxes help constrain its role within global blue carbon that can support policy development. At a time when climate change mitigation is at the foreground of environmental policy development, embracing the full potential of the ocean in supporting climate regulation via CO 2 sequestration is a necessity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ecm.1366","authors":["Ana M.

Integrating Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies into WtE plants presents a breakthrough path for emission abatement, advancing circular economy strategies, and even achieving carbon-negative operations. This paper reviews the technological, environmental, and economic facets of WtE-CCUS integration critically. It covers cutting-edge carbon capture techniques—post-combustion, oxy-fuel, and pre-combustion strategies—and considers innovations in solvents, membranes, and solid sorbents for application to heterogeneous waste stream complexity. CO₂ utilization pathways are considered within the paradigm of sustainable resource recovery, e.g., conversion into fuels, chemicals, and construction materials. Where re-use is unfeasible, storage infrastructure and site considerations are reviewed. Large-scale deployment of CCUS in Waste-to-Energy infrastructure is hampered by several major obstacles, including capital and operating costs ranging from $50 to $150 per ton of CO₂, difficult retrofit requirements, technical difficulties brought on by the heterogeneity of urban waste, and policy-related obstacles such as inconsistent environmental policies, unclear carbon pricing, a lack of tax credits, and inconsistent regulations for negative emissions and lifecycle assessment. These difficulties highlight the necessity of unified market incentives and regulatory policies that support the adoption of scalable WtE-CCUS. Through international case studies and techno-economic analyses, this review distills the key opportunities, operational challenges, and policy deficiencies influencing the scalability of WtE-CCUS systems. Findings indicate that while technological feasibility is on the rise, economic and regulatory frameworks are significant barriers. With facilitating policy instruments and market incentives, WtE-CCUS can become a cornerstone of integrated climate and waste management policies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.36948/ijfmr.2025.v07i04.52717","authors":["Zakaria Yakin","Oyekunle Shopeju","Erhiga Ighomuaye"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Waste management","Municipal solid waste","Fossil fuel"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.36948/ijfmr.2025.v07i04.52717","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.751Z"},{"id":"oa:W2922435698","name":"Numerical simulation of Water-alternating-gas Process for Optimizing EOR and Carbon Storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"As concerns around global warming increase, carbon capture, utilization and geological storage (CCUS) is a promising way to reduce the emissions of the anthropogenic CO 2 into the atmosphere. Of those, sequestering the CO 2 into depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs with associated enhanced oil recovery is the most achievable approach under current economic constraints since it increases recovery of existing oil reserves, and bridges the gap between regional-scale CO 2 capture and geologic sequestration. The Upper Devonian fluvial sandstone reservoirs in Jacksonburg-Stringtown oil field in West Virginia, which have produced over 22 million barrels of oil since 1895, is an ideal candidate for CO 2 sequestration coupled with EOR. This work illustrates an example of CCUS, in which CO 2 is simultaneously sequestered and oil recovery enhanced in a depleted oil reservoir by water alternating gas (WAG) method. Three mechanisms for CO 2 storage including structural/stratigraphic trapping, dissolution trapping and residual trapping are considered. This model is based on a highly detailed geological model constructed based on existing legacy geological data from the field. A composition model of 0.4 PVI of water injected before WAG process is considered as a benchmark for this study. The results of numerical simulation show that over 26 years of WAG injection, oil recovery increased from 0.16% to 1.9% due to various injection strategies. WAG injection rate, injection time ratio and cycle period play important roles in the storage CO 2. As a conclusion, this research constructs and validates a basic workflow for CO 2 storage and CO 2 -EOR that can be applied to other super-mature oil fields, which have abundant conventional legacy data and limited high-quality data.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2019.01.507","authors":["Zhi Zhong","Siyan Liu","Timothy R.

Traditional single-issue management largely failed to protect the full suite of ES. Ecosystem-based management (EBM) promotes resilient social-ecological systems that provide ES. To implement EBM, an ES approach is useful: 1) characterize major ES provided (magnitude, geographic extent, monetary value, trends, and stakeholders), 2) identify trade-offs, 3) determine desired outcomes, and 4) manage anthropogenic activities accordingly. Here we apply the ES approach (steps 1-2) to an open ocean ecosystem, the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP), an area of 21 million km2 that includes waters of 12 nations and the oceanic commons, using 35 years (1975-2010) of fisheries and economic data, and 20 years (1986-2006) of ship-based survey data. We examined commercial fisheries, carbon storage, biodiversity, and recreational fishing as the major provisioning, regulating, supporting, and cultural ES, respectively. Average catch value (using U.S. import prices for fish) for the 10 most commercially fished species was $2.7 billion yr-1. The value of carbon export to the deep ocean was $12.9 billion yr-1 (using average European carbon market prices). For two fisheries-depleted dolphin populations, the potential value of rebuilding carbon stores was $1.6 million (cumulative); for exploited fish stocks it was also $1.6 million (an estimated reduction of 544,000 mt). Sport fishing expenditures totaled $1.2 billion yr-1, from studies of three popular destinations. These initial, conservative estimates do not represent a complete summary of ETP ES values. We produced species richness maps for cetaceans, seabirds, and ichthyoplankton, and a sightings density map for marine turtles. Over 1/3 of cetacean, seabird, and marine turtle species occur in the ETP, and diversity (or density) hotspots are widespread. This study fills several gaps in the assessment of marine and coastal ES by focusing on an oceanic habitat, utilizing long-term datasets, mapping the spatial distribution of ecological components, and concentrating on an area beyond Europe and the USA. Our results improve our understanding of ETP ES, highlight their variety, and offer a new perspective for a fisheries-dominated system. This study sets the stage for further analyses of trade-offs, which can inform decisions about resource management and biodiversity conservation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2016.00050","authors":["Summer L.

Assuming that the inventory of carbon is conserved in the ocean-atmosphere system (i.e. no seawater-sediment interactions), the resulting formula of = −0.0053Δ + 0.0034Δ suggests that atmospheric pCO2 would decrease by 5.3% and increase by 3.4% when and increase by 10 μmol kg−1, respectively. Using this analytical framework along with a 3-D global ocean biogeochemistry model, we show that the response of atmospheric pCO2 to changes in ocean circulation is rather modest because ∼30% of the change in atmospheric pCO2 caused by the accumulation of respired carbon is countered by a concomitant accumulation of dissolved carbonate in deep waters. Among the suite of circulation models examined here, the largest reduction in atmospheric pCO2 of 44–88 ppm occurs in a model where reduced overturning rates of both southern and northern sourced deep waters result in a four-fold increase in the Southern Ocean deep water ventilation age. On the other hand, when the ventilation rate of the southern-sourced water decreases, but the overturning rate of North Atlantic Deep Water increases, the resulting decrease in atmospheric pCO2 is only 14–34 ppm. The large uncertainty ranges in atmospheric pCO2 arise from uncertainty in how surface productivity responds to circulation change. Although the uncertainty is large, this study suggests that a synchronously reduced rate for the deep water formation in both hemispheres could lead to the large glacial reduction in atmospheric pCO2 of 80–100 ppm.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2011gb004059","authors":["Eun Young Kwon","Jorge L.

A field‐scale compositional reservoir flow model was developed for assessing the performance history of an active CO2 flood and for optimizing both oil production and CO2 storage in the Farnsworth Unit (FWU), Ochiltree County, Texas. A geological framework model constructed from geophysical, geological, and engineering data acquired from the FWU was the basis for all reservoir simulations and the optimization method. An equation of state was calibrated with laboratory fluid analyses and subsequently used to predict the thermodynamic minimum miscible pressure (MMP). Initial history calibrations of primary, secondary and tertiary recovery were conducted as the basis for the study. After a good match was achieved, an optimization approach consisting of a proxy or surrogate model was constructed with a polynomial response surface method (PRSM). The PRSM utilized an objective function that maximized both oil recovery and CO2 storage. Experimental design was used to link uncertain parameters to the objective function. Control variables considered in this study included: water alternating gas cycle and ratio, production rates and bottom‐hole pressure of injectors and producers. Other key parameters considered in the modeling process were CO2 purchase, gas recycle and addition of infill wells and/or patterns. The PRSM proxy model was ‘trained’ or calibrated with a series of training simulations. This involved an iterative process until the surrogate model reached a specific validation criterion. A sensitivity analysis was first conducted to ascertain which of these control variables to retain in the surrogate model. A genetic algorithm with a mixed‐integer capability optimization approach was employed to determine the optimum developmental strategy to maximize both oil recovery and CO2 storage. The proxy model reduced the computational cost significantly. The validation criteria of the reduced order model ensured accuracy in the dynamic modeling results. The prediction outcome suggested robustness and reliability of the genetic algorithm for optimizing both oil recovery and CO2 storage. The reservoir modeling approach used in this study illustrates an improved approach to optimizing oil production and CO2 storage within partially depleted oil reservoirs such as FWU.

These variable renewable energy (VRE) sources require energy storage options to match energy demand reliably at different time scales. This article suggests using a gravitational-based energy storage method by making use of decommissioned underground mines as storage reservoirs, using a vertical shaft and electric motor/generators for lifting and dumping large volumes of sand. The proposed technology, called Underground Gravity Energy Storage (UGES), can discharge electricity by lowering large volumes of sand into an underground mine through the mine shaft. When there is excess electrical energy in the grid, UGES can store electricity by elevating sand from the mine and depositing it in upper storage sites on top of the mine. Unlike battery energy storage, the energy storage medium of UGES is sand, which means the self-discharge rate of the system is zero, enabling ultra-long energy storage times. Furthermore, the use of sand as storage media alleviates any risk for contaminating underground water resources as opposed to an underground pumped hydro storage alternative.

This paves the way for hydrogen as an energy carrier to be further used as a zero‑carbon fuel for land, air, and sea transportation. However, challenges in hydrogen storage and transportation ultimately pose restrictions on its wider adaption along horizontal and vertical vectors. This paper investigates chemical energy carriers ranging from small molecules such as ammonia and methane to formic acid as well as other more complex hydrocarbons in response to this timely engineering problem. The hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of such carrier molecules require energy lowering the effective net heating value of hydrogen up to 32 %. Different carrier approaches are discussed in the light of availability, energetics, water requirements, and suitability for applications in power generation, shipping, trucking, and aviation, supplemented by a comprehensive safety review making this study unique in its field. It is found that hydrogen delivered without a carrier is ideal for power generation applications due to the large quantities required. Aviation would benefit from either ammonia or hydrogen and is generally a field challenging to decarbonize. Ammonia appears also to be a good medium for shipping hydrogen between continents and to power container ships due to its high energy density and lower liquid temperature compared with hydrogen. At the same time, ammonia can also be used to power the ship's engine. Long-haul trucking would benefit the most from cryogenic or compressed hydrogen due to the lower quantities required and purity requirements of the fuel cells.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2022.105714","authors":["Marcel Otto","Katerina Chagoya","Richard G.

Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) has been regarded as an effective approach to swiftly cut CO2 emissions. Among the existing CCUS technologies, CO2 geological utilization and storage has the highest technological maturity, and is the most vital “sink” to consume the captured CO2. For CO2 geological utilization and storage, large amounts of CO2 need to be injected into the deep subsurface, and the CO2 flow in the subsurface is a very complicated process. The flow system is a two-phase or even a three-phase system, and flow in pores needs to be clearly distinguished from flow in fractures and wellbores. Most importantly, wettability, pore structure, geochemical reactions play very important roles in governing subsurface CO2 flow. Without a clear understanding of how the impact factors affect CO2 flow, it is difficult to predict the CO2 impairs the confidence of policy makers and investors to support large-scale geologic CO2 storage. To study CO2 flow, there is a need to develop effective approaches to characterize CO2 flow in subsurface system. This work discusses several key factors that have strong impact on subsurface CO2 flow, and an effective approach for CO2 flow characterization. Impact of wettability and pore structure on multiphase flow. The injection of CO2 into geological formations displaces brine from pore spaces, resulting in various CO2-brine displacement patterns, such as capillary fingering, viscous fingering, crossover, and compact displacement. These patterns also occur as the brine later flows back to displace supercritical CO2 when the injection stops. The CO2-brine displacement results in CO2 becoming trapped as droplets and ganglia in pore spaces, referred to as residual trapping or capillary trapping. Wettability and pore structure have significant effects on CO2-brine displacement patterns and capillary trapping. The wettability represents the affinity of fluid to the solid surface. By changing the capillary force governed by the Young-Laplace law, the wettability modifies the local porefilling events and thus impacts the displacement patterns. Increasing the wettability of the invading fluid from drainage to imbibition stabilizes the displacement front due to the cooperative pore-filling events at the pore scale (Holtzman and Segre, 2015). However, the displacement pattern will change extensively as a result of corner flow when the invading fluid is strongly wetting to the solid surface (Hu et al., 2018). On the other hand, the role of pore structure in displacement patterns may depend on the type of permeable media. The pore-scale disorder, which represents the randomness of pore size, changes the threshold capillary pressure and affects the local pore-filling paths. Increasing disorder promotes unstable displacement patterns for both drainage and imbibition conditions (Toussaint et al., 2005), but under certain wettability conditions, higher disorder may enhance cooperative porefilling events and thus smooth the displacement front. The roughness variations in the aperture between the two rough surfaces determines the flow path and controls the displacement patterns for a fractured medium. Therefore, the transition of CO2-brine displacement patterns under various wetting and pore structure conditions is an open challenge and a very active area of research. Impact of geochemical reactions on multiphase flow. Geochemical reactions play a key role in determining CO2 flow patterns. Though geochemical reaction-induced mineral trapping can only become vital after hundreds to thousands years of CO2 injection in reservoir scale, fast mineral dissolution and precipitation in micro-scale flow channels of host rocks and caprocks can change permeability of the rocks and","url":"https://doi.org/10.46690/ager.2022.03.01","authors":["Liwei Zhang","Li Chen","Ran Hu","Jianchao Cai"],"tags":["Petroleum engineering","Multiphase flow","Carbon sequestration","Brine","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-04-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.46690/ager.2022.03.01","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.752Z"},{"id":"oa:W2810755092","name":"Catalyst-TiO(OH)2 could drastically reduce the energy consumption of CO2 capture","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Implementing Paris Climate Accord is inhibited by the high energy consumption of the state-of-the-art CO 2 capture technologies due to the notoriously slow kinetics in CO 2 desorption step of CO 2 capture.

Carbon capture technology (CCS) is installed for fossil fuels (HFO and liquefied natural gas (LNG)). The pathways are compared in terms of quantifiable parameters including (i) fuel mass, (ii) fuel volume, (iii) life cycle (Well-To-Wake—WTW) energy intensity, (iv) WTW cost, (v) WTW greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, and (vi) non-GHG emissions, estimated from the literature and ASPEN HYSYS modelling. From an energy perspective, renewable electricity with battery technology is the most efficient route, albeit still impractical for long-distance shipping due to the low energy density of today’s batteries. The next best is fossil fuels with CCS (assuming 90% removal efficiency), which also happens to be the lowest cost solution, although the long-term storage and utilization of CO2 are still unresolved. Biofuels offer a good compromise in terms of cost, availability, and technology readiness level (TRL); however, the non-GHG emissions are not eliminated. Hydrogen and ammonia are among the worst in terms of overall energy and cost needed and may also need NOx clean-up measures.

Based on core samples from the Huang-3 area of the Ordos Basin, the feasibility and influential factors of geological CO2 sequestration in the Huang-3 area are analyzed through caprock breakthrough tests and a CO2 storage factor experiment. The results indicate that capillary trapping is the key mechanism of the sealing effect by the caprock.

A good exponential relationship between caprock breakthrough pressure and permeability can be summarized. The minimum breakthrough pressure of CO2 in the caprock of the Huang-3 area is 22 MPa, and the breakthrough pressure gradient is greater than 100 MPa/m. Huang-3 area is suitable for the geological sequestration of CO2, and the risk of CO2 breakthrough in the caprock is small. At the same storage percentage, the recovery factor of crude oil in larger permeability core is higher, and the storage percentage decreases with the increase of recovery factor. It turned out that a low permeability reservoir is easier to store CO2, and the storage percentage of carbon dioxide in the miscible phase is greater than that in the immiscible phase. This study can provide empirical reference for caprock selection and safety evaluation of CO2 geological storage in low permeability reservoirs within Ordos Basin.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15010344","authors":["Ping Yue","Rujie Zhang","James J.

Herein, we investigated the carbon removal potential of an industrial biochar system in Spain. This study is the first to assess the techno-economic-environmental impact of large-scale olive tree pruning residue pyrolysis for atmospheric carbon removal, using an integrated assessment framework that is based on current market dynamics. Production optimization using response surface methodology (RSM) was carried out, aiming to maximize yield, production throughput and stable carbon content while prioritizing stability. It was determined that optimized biochar production was attained at 650 °C and 15 min residence time. Furthermore, a biochar plant with a biomass processing capacity of 6.5 tonnes-per-hour was designed for further analysis. A thermodynamic model was developed using Advanced System for Process Engineering (ASPEN Plus) software, and the process was determined to be self-sufficient with the availability of surplus energy. Moreover, a life cycle assessment (cradle-to-grave) revealed that approximately 2.68 tCO2e are permanently removed from the atmosphere per tonne of biochar produced, after accounting for the carbon footprint of the entire process. This corresponds to a carbon removal capacity of 3.26 tCO2e per hour and the removal of approximately 24,450 tCO2e annually. The economic assessment revealed that the project is profitable; however, profitability is sensitive to pricing of the carbon removal service and biochar. A project internal rate of return (IRR) of 22.35% is achieved at a price combination of EUR 110/tonne CO2e removal and EUR 350/tonne biochar, and a feedstock cost of 45 EUR/tonne (delivered with 20% moisture content), where service and product pricing are both within the lower bound of market pricing. If the project was exclusively designed to offer a carbon removal service, a minimum price of EUR 206/tonne CO2e removal is required to achieve project profitability, based on the same feedstock cost. The findings of this study demonstrate the viability of immediately deploying large-scale biochar-based carbon removal via pyrolytic conversion of olive tree pruning residues to address the climate crisis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2022.133660","authors":["Samer Fawzy","Ahmed I.

Despite the importance of the ocean carbon sink to climate, our understanding of the causes of its interannual‐to‐decadal variability remains limited. This hinders our ability to attribute its past behavior and project its future. A key period of interest is the 1990s, when the ocean carbon sink did not grow as expected. Previous explanations of this behavior have focused on variability internal to the ocean or associated with coupled atmosphere/ocean modes. Here, we use an idealized upper ocean box model to illustrate that two external forcings are sufficient to explain the pattern and magnitude of sink variability since the mid‐1980s. First, the global‐scale reduction in the decadal‐average ocean carbon sink in the 1990s is attributable to the slowed growth rate of atmospheric pCO 2 . The acceleration of atmospheric pCO 2 growth after 2001 drove recovery of the sink. Second, the global sea surface temperature response to the 1991 eruption of Mt Pinatubo explains the timing of the global sink within the 1990s. These results are consistent with previous experiments using ocean hindcast models with variable atmospheric pCO 2 and with and without climate variability. The fact that variability in the growth rate of atmospheric pCO 2 directly imprints on the ocean sink implies that there will be an immediate reduction in ocean carbon uptake as atmospheric pCO 2 responds to cuts in anthropogenic emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2019av000149","authors":["Galen A.

The environmental impacts of CCU products (e.g., e-fuel) are systematically quantified through life-cycle analysis (LCA). Previous studies evaluating LCA of e-fuels proposed frameworks with an expanded system boundary approach that included the entire supply chain of the production process generating the CO 2 for CCU, in addition to the supply chain of the CCU product. This expanded system boundary approach evaluates two system boundaries, and uses deduction methods to calculate the carbon intensity (CI) of the CCU product (e-fuel).

The proposed incremental approach allocates the burdens of the CO 2 capturing process to the CO 2 feedstock supplying the CCU production process (e.g., e-fuel production). The CI of the captured CO 2 supplied to CCU process is determined by the energy and material requirements for the CO 2 capturing process and transportation to the CCU plant.

As a result, up until now, it has been difficult to accurately quantify the soil organic carbon input from root exudates to the soil in most studies.

We explore the economic and life-cycle GHG impacts of biogas upgrading and CO2 capture and storage (CCS) at ionic liquid-based cellulosic ethanol biorefineries using biomass sorghum.

To date, several techniques have been adopted to remove/treat organics and toxic contaminants. Adsorption is one of the most effective and economical methods for this purpose. Generally, porous materials are considered as appropriate adsorbents for water purification. Conventional adsorbents such as activated carbons have a limited possibility of surface modification (texture and functionality), and their adsorption capacity is difficult to control. Therefore, despite the significant progress achieved in the development of the systems for water remediation, there is still a need for novel adsorptive materials with tunable functional characteristics. This review addresses the new trends in the development of new adsorbent materials. Herein, modern carbon-based materials, such as graphene, oxidized carbon, carbon nanotubes, biomass-derived carbonaceous matrices-biochars as well as their composites with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MOF-derived highly-ordered carbons are considered as advanced adsorbents for removal of hazardous organics from drinking water, process water, and leachate. The review is focused on the preparation and modification of these next-generation carbon-based adsorbents and analysis of their adsorption performance including possible adsorption mechanisms. Simultaneously, some weak points of modern carbon-based adsorbents are analyzed as well as the routes to conquer them. For instance, for removal of large quantities of pollutants, the combination of adsorption and other methods, like sedimentation may be recommended. A number of efficient strategies for further enhancing the adsorption performance of the carbon-based adsorbents, in particular, integrating approaches and further rational functionalization, including composing these adsorbents (of two or even three types) can be recommended. The cost reduction and efficient regeneration must also be in the focus of future research endeavors. The targeted optimization of the discussed carbon-based adsorbents associated with detailed studies of the adsorption process, especially, for multicomponent adsorbate solution, will pave a bright avenue for efficient water remediation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules26216628","authors":["В.

The enhanced efficiency reduces overall energy consumption in EVs. Consequently, this reduction in energy demand can lead to decreased infrastructure needs, minimising the scale and investment required in energy production and distribution systems. Furthermore, the integration of TES with existing infrastructure allows for the simultaneous charging of thermal and electrical energy, leveraging waste heat or renewable energy sources. This not only cuts costs by optimizing resource use but also bolsters sustainability by minimising reliance on non-renewable energy sources. The widespread adoption of TES in EVs could transform these vehicles into nodes within large-scale, distributed energy storage systems, thus supporting smart grid operations and enhancing energy security.

One of the major challenges in biosensor development is achieving efficient signal capture of biological recognition-transduction events. Carbon nanomaterials (CNs) are promising candidates to improve the sensitivity of biosensors while attaining low detection limits owing to their capability of immobilizing large quantities of bioreceptor units at a reduced volume, and they can also act as a transduction element. In addition, CNs can be adapted to functionalization and conjugation with organic compounds or metallic nanoparticles; the creation of surface functional groups offers new properties (e.g., physical, chemical, mechanical, electrical, and optical properties) to the nanomaterials. Because of these intriguing features, CNs have been extensively employed in biosensor applications. In particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), nanodiamonds, graphene, and fullerenes serve as scaffolds for the immobilization of biomolecules at their surface and are also used as transducers for the conversion of signals associated with the recognition of biological analytes.

One solution to CCUS is via the means of CO2 enhanced recovery processes in a depleted oil reservoir. In such a case, life-cycle production optimization plays a crucial component, referring to optimizing a production-driven objective function via varying well controls during a reservoir's lifetime. One challenge is to obtain the optimal cash flow while trying to maintain the maximum CO2 storage. Another challenge is the nonlinear constraints (such as field liquid production rate) which need to be honored due to the capacity of the processing facilities. This study presents an application of a stochastic gradient-based framework to solve the CO2 storage multi-objective optimization problem. Our study focuses on carbon capture and storage via the means of nonlinearly constrained production optimization workflow for a CO2 enhanced recovery process, in which we aim to bi-objectively maximize both the net-present-value (NPV) and the net present carbon tax credits (NPCTC). The main framework used in this work is line-search sequential quadratic programming (LS-SQP) with stochastic simplex approximated gradients (StoSAG). We demonstrate the performance and results of the algorithmic framework in a field-scale realistic problem. The case study being investigated is a multiphase flow Brugge model under CO2 injection, simulated using a commercial compositional reservoir simulator. Results show that the LS-SQP algorithm with StoSAG gradients performs computationally efficiently and effectively in handling nonlinear state constraints imposed onto the problem. The workflow successfully solves both the single-objective and the multi-objective optimization problems with minimal and acceptable constraint violations. Various numerical settings have been experimented with to estimate the Pareto front for the bi-objective optimization problem, showing the trade-off between the two objectives NPV and NPCTC. We have demonstrated an approach to the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) in the context of multi-objective production optimization of a CO2 enhanced recovery process for a field-scale realistic reservoir model. The algorithmic framework used in this study has proven to be computationally effective on the problem and especially useful when utilized in conjunction with commercial flow simulators that lack the capability of computing adjoint-based gradients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202244033","authors":["Quang Minh Nguyen","M.

For rational bamboo forests management, it is of great significance to study the spatiotemporal dynamic changes of Aboveground Carbon (AGC) stocks of bamboo forest in Zhejiang. In this study, remote sensing variables, such as spectral, vegetation indices and texture features of bamboo forest in Zhejiang, were extracted from 32 Landsat TM and OLI images got from four different years (2000, 2004, 2008 and 2014). These variables were subsequently selected with stepwise regression method to build an estimation model of AGC of the bamboo forests. The results showed that (1) the accuracy of bamboo forest remote sensing information extracted from the four different years was high with a classification accuracy of >76.26% and an accuracy of users of >91.62%. The classification area of bamboo forest was highly consistent with the area from forest resource inventory, and the area accuracy was over 96.50%; (2) the estimation model performed well in predicting the AGC in Zhejiang for different years. The correlation coefficient for estimated and measured AGC was between 63% and 72% with low root mean square error; (3) the derived AGC of the bamboo forests in Zhejiang province increased gradually from 2000 to 2014, with the AGC density of 6.75 Mg·ha−1, 10.95 Mg·ha−1, 15.25 Mg·ha−1 and 19.07 Mg·ha−1 respectively, and the average annual growth of 0.88 Mg·ha−1.

Soil moisture directly affects photosynthesis, respiration, microbial activity, and soil organic matter dynamics, with optimal levels enhancing carbon storage while extremes, such as drought and flooding, disrupt these processes. A quantitative analysis is provided on the effects of soil moisture on CS-GHG across various ecosystems and climatic conditions, highlighting a “Peak and Decline” pattern for CO₂ emissions at 40% water-filled pore space (WFPS), while CH₄ and N₂O emissions peak at higher levels (60–80% and around 80% WFPS, respectively). The review also examines ecosystem models, discussing how soil moisture dynamics are incorporated to simulate photosynthesis, microbial activity, and nutrient cycling. Sustainable soil moisture management practices, including conservation agriculture, agroforestry, and optimized water management, prove effective in enhancing carbon sequestration and mitigating GHG emissions by maintaining ideal soil moisture levels. The review further emphasizes the importance of advancing multiscale observations and feedback modeling through high-resolution remote sensing and ground-based data integration, as well as hybrid modeling frameworks. The interactive model-experiment framework emerges as a promising approach for linking experimental data with model refinement, enabling continuous improvement of CS-GHG predictions. From a policy perspective, shifting focus from short-term agricultural productivity to long-term carbon sequestration is crucial. Achieving this shift will require financial incentives, robust monitoring systems, and collaboration among stakeholders to ensure sustainable practices effectively contribute to climate mitigation goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41612-024-00888-8","authors":["Yuefeng Hao","Jiafu Mao","Charles M.

Nevertheless, there is a wide gap between the variety of heat storage options investigated and the recurrent few types virtually implemented in the industries. To take advantage of a wider spectrum of solutions, a structured procedure is proposed in this work for the selection of storage material and layout. The algorithm developed consists of a preliminary storage design followed by a performance estimation of the overall system where the heat storage is integrated. The preliminary design allows a first screening and ranking of sensible, latent or thermochemical materials using a quasi-stationary approach. The performance estimation leads to the final selection of the heat storage system, which is based on the analysis of the dynamic thermal response of the heat storage along with physically based or input-output models for the load. The algorithm is applied to improve the heat recovery of a discontinuous and fluctuating flue gas at medium temperature from a steel industry, targeting the production of process steam or electricity. The results show that the integration of a packed bed heat storage, either of the sensible or latent type, allows the highest amount of steam to be generated in the discharging. Moreover, the combination of the same heat storage with an organic Rankine cycle or the Kalina cycle results in the highest amount of generated electricity. The investment in a packed bed rock storage was found to result in payback times of about seven years, whereas tank-based storage units appear not profitable due to the high cost of the silicone oil.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2022.104411","authors":["Giovanni Manente","Yulong Ding","Adriano Sciacovelli"],"tags":["Thermal energy storage","Process engineering","Waste heat","Waste heat recovery unit","Rankine cycle"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-03-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2022.104411","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.752Z"},{"id":"oa:W4390628453","name":"Net-zero carbon configuration approach for direct air carbon capture based integrated energy system considering dynamic characteristics of CO2 adsorption and desorption","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2023.122608","authors":["Lihua Yang","Xiao Wu"],"tags":["Carbon neutrality","Renewable energy","Desorption","Adsorption","Process engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2023.122608","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.752Z"},{"id":"oa:W2623260419","name":"The Social Acceptance of Carbon Dioxide Utilisation: A Review and Research Agenda","source":"openalex","abstract":"CO2 utilisation technologies—also called Carbon Dioxide Utilisation (CDU) and Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU)—convert CO2 via physical, chemical or biological processes into carbon-based products.

However, there is a critical need to analyze whether the effect is sustainable. This chapter explores how supply chain management facilitates the implementation and further institutionalization of the world’s sustainable and climate strategies in the North Sea, with subsequent application in the Arctic Ocean. Data from eight semi-structured interviews and archival materials were analyzed in terms of the economic, environmental, and social aspects of sustainable development. The findings revealed that international and European law are not yet prepared to accept CO 2 transit by ship.

The projects range in maturity from Australia’s first storage project (the CO2CRC Otway Project) and the CSIRO Loy Yang PCC Pilot Project which are already underway, to projects which are unlikely to be fully operational until 2015 or later. They range in scale from relatively modest pilot scale capture projects (Munmorah, Hazelwood, CO2CRC H3, Mulgrave, Loy Yang), to commercially significant rates of CO2 storage of 10–50,000 tonnes CO2 per annum (Callide Oxyfuel, Otway) to proposals for medium scale injection of up to 500,000 tonnes CO2 per annum (ZeroGen, Coolimba), 3–4 million tonnes per annum for the Gorgon LNG Project and up to 10 million tonnes of CO2 per annum for the Monash (coal to liquids) Project. It is encouraging to see this high level of interest in CCS in Australia. At the same time it has to be recognised that most of these projects have not advanced beyond the feasibility scale at this time and not all of them will prove to be commercially or environmentally viable. Additionally, several of the existing CCS projects have been at the feasibility stage for several years and the slow rate of progress is a concern given the importance of CCS deployment to Australia. Australia is seen as one of the leaders in the demonstration and deployment of CCS, with billions of dollars committed to CCS by industry and governments over the next 5–10 years.

The approach is based on field-proven technologies for monitoring CO2 flows and for controlling flows within reservoirs or remediating flows outside of reservoirs. The new low-cost monitoring technology employs reservoir flow induced micro-deformation measurements by three basic technologies—satellite-based interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), surface and downhole tiltmeters, and differential global positioning systems (GPS). These methods acquire microdeformation data in near-real-time (NRT). This data supports NRT geomechanical inversion analysis that provides 3-D reservoir flow images. Real-time temperature and pressure data from wells instrumented with sensors connected to fiberoptic cables may also be used to better characterize some CO2 flows. The new lost-cost flow control and remediation technology is derived from improvements in flowpath sealants and placement methods that can alter flows both inside and outside of reservoirs. This monitoring technology has evolved from similar methods proven in other types of secondary and tertiary recovery projects, and more recently in CCS projects, to identify reservoir flows and pinpoint abnormal ones. An example of normal CO2 flow results is presented to show how operators can calibrate flow-prediction software models and make fast decisions to apply flow enhancing methods. These methods improve CO2 sweep efficiency, increase oil production, and better utilize the reservoirs’ CO2 storage capacity. Another example shows the early identification of an abnormal flowpath location that enables timely selection of sealing methods and materials that eliminate unwanted flows from reservoirs with negligible CO2 losses. The CO2 flow control and remediation technology’s history of field-proven success is described along with recent developments that have improved both material and placement performance. Generic case histories of conventional vs. the proposed new approach are compared to show how the combination of rapidly-deployed, CO2 flow-alteration and monitoring technologies creates synergies that can improve the performance of CO2 EOR and CCS projects while reducing operating costs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/138258-ms","authors":["R.E.

China has been working in the CO 2 emission reduction and carbon sinks with the purpose of becoming the carbon-neutral country by 2060. The CO 2 capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies and the reforestation technology represented by the Conversion of Cropland to Forestland Program (CCFP) have great potential for sinking CO 2 emission. However, the trade-off among CCFP, CCS/CCUS and Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus are not well evaluated. In this paper, the remote-sensing data are collected and used to evaluate the sustainability of CCFP by analyzing the variation of land use and land cover (LULC), crop production, etc. The results show that 13.29% of the cropland in 2001 vanished and converted to grassland (8.3%), mosaic cropland (3%) and urban land (0.98%) in 2019, demonstrating that the CCFP is successful in both WEF nexus and carbon sink. The total crop production has increased around 50% between 2001 and 2019, implying that the CCFP will not lead to the food risk during the conversion of croplands into other types of land in China. A sustainable implementation of CCFP and other environmental Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) policies in 2019–2060 could reach an estimated total growth of 7.462 billion m 3 in comparison of that in 2018 and the total plantation forest stock of about 10.852 billion m 3 in 2060, with a corresponding minimum CO 2 sink of 2.90 billion tons in 2060. The estimated peak of net equivalent CO 2 emissions before 2030 is about 11.0 billion tons and could not be reduced to zero by 2060 without the large-scale application of the CCS/CCUS technologies as geological sequestration of CO 2 . Besides, the application of CCS/CCUS can be beneficial for WEF, e.g., through replacing the water by CO 2 during energy production, especially in the shale gas production in the regions with high water risks in China. In one word, CCS/CCUS and CCFP are two decided pathways of carbon sequestration and should be systematically applied to achieve China’s carbon neutrality by 2060.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12665-021-09762-9","authors":["Yachen Xie","Zhengmeng Hou","Hejuan Liu","Cheng Cao","Jiaguo Qi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-07-08T02:02:38Z","doi":"10.1007/s12665-021-09762-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/pr12122773","name":"The Palaeocene Lista Shale: A Planned Carbon Capture and Storage Top Seal for the East Mey CO2 Storage Site","source":"crossref","abstract":"Top seals and overburden above reservoirs at geological carbon capture and storage (CCS) sites can be major concerns when they are at risk of being mineralogically and texturally unstable in the presence of high-pressure CO2. Here we report on the pore systems, mineralogy, and surface area attributes of the Palaeocene Lista Shale, the caprock to the Mey Sandstone at the UK’s planned East Mey CCS site. The core was logged, and then mineral quantification was undertaken with X-ray powder diffraction mineralogy, light optics and electron microscopy analyses. Laser particle size analysis was used for grain size determination. Porosity, pore throat diameter, surface area and pore body size were measured via mercury intrusion porosimetry and nitrogen adsorption analyses. The mudstone facies from the Lista Shale are dominated by smectite-rich matrix and silt-grade quartz, with small quantities of chlorite and sodic-plagioclase. Chlorite, sodic-plagioclase, and even smectite are known to be capable of reacting with, and potentially leading to mineral sequestration of CO2. The mean pore throat and pore body diameters are 17 and nearly 18 nm, respectively, showing that the Lista is mesoporous; the similarity of pore body and pore throat dimensions reveals a predominance of plate and slit pores. Gas adsorption analyses revealed that the overall pore structure is complex, with a high tortuosity of fluid movement through a complex clay-rich matrix (this equates to a mean fractal dimension D2 value of 2.67). Gas adsorption analyses have also shown that grain surfaces are moderately complex (rough) due to the dominance of clay aggregates (this equates to a mean fractal dimension D1 value of 2.56). D2 being higher than D1 suggests that there is a relatively low potential to physically store CO2 gas on grain surfaces. Conversely, the ability of the CO2 to react with minor quantities of chlorite and sodic plagioclase, or even with smectite, could lead to increasing surface area of the remaining shale minerals with newly exposed reactive silicates leading to further enhanced mineral trapping of the injected CO2. The restricted pore throat size linked to small grain size and poor sorting, and reflected by the high fractal D2 value, plus limited grain surface complexity, reflected by the low fractal D1 value, collectively suggest that mineral trapping of the injected CO2 would be relatively slow (on the order of 1000s of years) if CO2 penetrated the top seal.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr12122773","authors":["Nourah AlNajdi","Richard H.

How CCS will compare to other options in the future depends critically on the cost of CCS (the focus of this paper) and resolution of barriers to CCS deployment, as well as costs and barriers for other emission reduction options. This paper provides a comparison of the cost of electricity of five power generation options – coal and gas Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT,) with and without CCS and nuclear – and shows regions of carbon price and fuel prices where each can be economically viable. Current cost estimates for coal CCS for Nth-of-a-kind power generation plant are in the 60-100 $/ton of CO2 avoided – higher than some of the earlier CCS estimates, and higher than the generally accepted range of expected carbon prices in the next two decades. The high cost of coal CCS suggests that:Gas based power generation is much more economical than coal CCS at carbon prices below 60-100 $/ton CO2.Even after carbon prices reach 60-100 $/ton CO2, gas CCS produces lower cost electricity than coal CCS as long as natural gas prices remain below 9 $/MBTU.Nuclear has a lower cost of electricity than coal CCS. Although Coal or Gas CCS is unlikely to be economical in power generation over the next two decades, subsidized demonstrations of CCS are likely to occur. In addition, components of CCS technologies will continue to be economically practiced in early use segments such as natural gas processing and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) operations. In this paper, we share ExxonMobil’s experience at LaBarge in using CO2 from a natural gas facility for EOR use – the single largest CO2 capture site for sub-surface injection in the world today. In the natural gas processing industry, CO2 separation cost is a fraction of the cost of CO2 capture in power generation due to its higher gas pressure, and the CO2 separation is typically necessary to monetize the natural gas resource. In contrast, CCS for most refinery and industrial emissions is expected to be significantly more costly than power generation because the CO2 streams are typically smaller scale and more distributed than those from large power plants. Realistic estimates of cost for CCS, as well as for other greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation options, are an important input for focusing research, development and demonstration (RD&amp;D) addressing barriers to applications that show the greatest promise, and development of sound policy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139716-ms","authors":["H.

Recent advancements in CCUS encompass postcombustion, precombustion, oxy‐fuel combustion, and direct air capture (DAC), facilitating enhanced carbon capture efficiency. Utilization pathways diversify, converting CO 2 into synthetic fuels, chemicals, and materials. Storage techniques range from geological sequestration to innovative approaches like mineralization and ocean‐based storage. However, significant barriers persist. Technically, the high energy demand and scalability limitations of CCUS systems present challenges, while economic hurdles such as high costs and insufficient market incentives hinder widespread adoption.

Emerging solutions are targeting these barriers, with innovations in materials science improving storage efficiency and capture performance. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are enhancing system optimization and monitoring. Hybrid approaches integrating CCUS with renewable energy and collaborative public–private models show promise.

In CCS projects, the time-lapse seismic survey has been proposed as a valuable tool for monitoring of CO2 movement. However, the potential of the time-lapse seismic data for heterogeneity characterization and geologic model updating has not been fully explored. One of the biggest challenges in the quantitative use of time-lapse seismic data during CCS is the complex movement of the CO2 influenced by compositional effects, geochemical reactions, phase changes and gravity segregation. In this paper, we first introduce compositional streamlines to understand and visualize the flow and transport of CO2 in the presence of mineral precipitation/dissolution, residual trapping and buoyancy effects. To start with, individual component fluxes are generated by a finite difference fully implicit compositional simulator incorporating all the relevant physics of CO2 sequestration. The fluxes are then utilized in novel streamline tracing algorithms to generate phase and component streamlines depicting the movement and the trapping of CO2 in the aquifer. Next, we utilize the compositional streamlines to determine the sensitivity of the time-lapse seismic attributes specifically, interpreted saturation differences, to changes in reservoir properties such as permeability and porosity. The sensitivities are then used in an inverse modeling algorithm to calibrate the geologic model to time-lapse seismic data. The outcome is an improved description of permeability heterogeneity that is consistent with the 4-D seismic response and improved predictions of the CO2 storage capacity. We have investigated the benefits of time-lapse seismic data integration in improving the performance assessment of CO2 sequestration using examples involving CO2 injection under realistic conditions. The first example examines the value of the 4-D seismic data integration in the estimation of storage capacity. The second example systematically studies the impact of viscous to gravity ratio on the performance of time-lapse seismic monitoring and heterogeneity characterization during CCS.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139519-ms","authors":["A.

The findings indicate carbonation efficiencies of 14–65 % for secondary materials, compared to 0.7–14 % observed in the serpentinite samples. The highest uptakes were achieved by the refractory materials, primarily due to their high metal oxide content.

No clear relationship is found between public awareness and support from these studies. Public acceptance for CCUS deployment depends on perceived benefits and risks and trust in project developers and authorities. Effective public engagement requires diverse approaches for communities and stakeholders, especially at an early stage in target areas. The media plays a critical role in shaping and evolving public attitudes about CCUS. Newspaper coverage in Utah, USA, was selected as a case study. Utah's coal and energy industries are vital to its economy, with CCUS seen crucial for reducing CO 2 emissions. We identified and reviewed approximately 200 newspaper reports on carbon capture and geological storage since the early 21st century. Storylines such as “saving Utah's coal industry” and “key element of energy transition” were frequently used.

Non-dispersive CO2 absorption using ionic liquids (ILs) as solvent and membrane vacuum regeneration (MVR) as desorption step are considered as a one of the most promising technologies for solvent regeneration in post-combustion CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) since high purity carbon dioxide streams are needed for technical valorization approach. In this work, the chemical binding 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([emim][Ac]) and the physical solvent 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate ([emim][MS]) have been selected. COSMO based/Aspen Plus methodology has been successfully executed to specify the COSMOSAC property method used in the commercial process simulator (Aspen Plus). Besides, a detailed two-dimensional mathematical model of MVR technology has been validated for the first time with [emim][MS] as a representative of physical ionic liquid solvent. The effect on CO2 desorbed flux and process efficiency have been tested at different operation conditions in order to compare the behavior of chemical and physical absorption based on ionic liquids. Low vacuum pressure and high temperature show a positive influence in the solvent regeneration process, while high liquid flow-rate increases the process performance but also decrease the CO2 desorption. The IL ([emim][Ac]) presented higher MVR performance (92%) than the IL [emim][MS] (83%) at the best operational conditions (313K and 0.04 bar), in which the total energy consumption has been estimated on 0.62 and 0.34 MJe·kgCO2-1, respectively. These results noted the benefit of the MVR technology based on ILs compared to the conventional amino-based high -temperature regeneration process (1.55 MJe·kgCO2-1), presenting a step forward in the substitution of amines. This work provides a valuable tool to help in the decision-making to select the most promising ionic liquids, reducing laboratory efforts and, consequently, experimental costs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4105412","authors":["Jose  Manuel Vadillo","Lucía Gomez-Coma","Aurora Garea","Angel Irabien"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-05-11T01:23:02Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4105412","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/9781119363804.ch7","name":"The Investigation on the Key Hydrocarbons of Crude Oil Swelling via Supercritical CO<sub>2</sub>","source":"crossref","abstract":"This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Hydrocarbon Selection Experiment Section Results and Discussion Conclusions Acknowledgments Nomenclature","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119363804.ch7","authors":["Haishui Han","Shi Li","Xinglong Chen","Ke Zhang","Hongwei Yu","Zemin Ji"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-04-21T03:25:00Z","doi":"10.1002/9781119363804.ch7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1149/ma2021-02441341mtgabs","name":"(Invited) Carbon Capture and Utilization Research at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL)","source":"crossref","abstract":"Presentation on NETL's CO2 Utilization Efforts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1149/ma2021-02441341mtgabs","authors":["Douglas R.

Unlike AER, which prevents emissions at the source, CCUS captures carbon post-emission and sells it to suppliers to enhance feedstock productivity. This alters firms' cost-benefit structures and strategic behaviours. We construct a Bertrand-Stackelberg model involving a CCUS manufacturer, an AER manufacturer, and a supplier to explore how cost efficiency, carbon utilisation, and CTP affect supply chain outcomes. An unexpected finding is that reducing the CCUS cost coefficient not only increases its own capture efforts but also indirectly boosts the AER manufacturer's emission reduction. This occurs because higher carbon utilisation encourages the supplier to reduce wholesale prices, benefiting both manufacturers. When the supplier purchases a large share of carbon, it should monitor the CCUS manufacturer's capture status (partial or complete) to flexibly adjust wholesale prices. However, while higher carbon prices may stimulate greater capture, they can also reduce profits, environmental outcomes, and social welfare under certain conditions. This highlights the need for policy regulators to balance carbon pricing to avoid a scenario where firms, the environment, and society all suffer.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00207543.2025.2526725","authors":["Xiao-Xue Zheng","Wen-Qian Xie","Fu Jia","Ying Yang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-09T15:35:55Z","doi":"10.1080/00207543.2025.2526725","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.349Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fclim.2022.818786","name":"Adapting the Technology Performance Level Integrated Assessment Framework to Low-TRL Technologies Within the Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Industry, Part I","source":"crossref","abstract":"With the urgent need to mitigate climate change and rising global temperatures, technological solutions that reduce atmospheric CO 2 are an increasingly important part of the global solution. As a result, the nascent carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) industry is rapidly growing with a plethora of new technologies in many different sectors. There is a need to holistically evaluate these new technologies in a standardized and consistent manner to determine which technologies will be the most successful and competitive in the global marketplace to achieve decarbonization targets. Life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic assessment (TEA) have been employed as rigorous methodologies for quantitatively measuring a technology's environmental impacts and techno-economic performance, respectively. However, these metrics evaluate a technology's performance in only three dimensions and do not directly incorporate stakeholder needs and values. In addition, technology developers frequently encounter trade-offs during design that increase one metric at the expense of the other. The technology performance level (TPL) combined indicator provides a comprehensive and holistic assessment of an emerging technology's potential, which is described by its techno-economic performance, environmental impacts, social impacts, safety considerations, market/deployability opportunities, use integration impacts, and general risks. TPL incorporates TEA and LCA outputs and quantifies the trade-offs between them directly using stakeholder feedback and requirements. In this article, the TPL methodology is being adapted from the marine energy domain to the CCUS domain. Adapted metrics and definitions, a stakeholder analysis, and a detailed foundation-based application of the systems engineering approach to CCUS are presented. The TPL assessment framework is couched within the internationally standardized LCA framework to improve technical rigor and acceptance. It is demonstrated how stakeholder needs and values can be directly incorporated, how LCA and TEA metrics can be balanced, and how other dimensions (listed earlier) can be integrated into a single metric that measures a technology's potential.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fclim.2022.818786","authors":["Nicole Mendoza","Thomas Mathai","Blake Boren","Jesse Roberts","James Niffenegger","Volker Sick","Arno W.

Energy from fossil fuels combustion always generates carbon dioxide, leading to a considerable environmental concern with the values of CO2 produced in the world. The increase in emissions leads to a significant challenge in reducing the quantity of this gas in the atmosphere. Many research areas are involved solving this problem, such as process engineering, materials science, chemistry, waste management, and politics and public engagement. To decrease this problem, green and efficient solutions have been extensively studied, such as Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) processes. In 2015, the Paris Agreement was established, wherein the global temperature increase limit of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels was defined as maximum. To achieve this goal, a global balance between anthropogenic emissions and capture of greenhouse gases in the second half of the 21st century is imperative, i.e., net-zero emissions. Several projects and strategies have been implemented in the existing systems and facilities for greenhouse gas reduction, and new processes have been studied. This review starts with the current data of CO2 emissions to understand the need for drastic reduction. After that, the study reviews the recent progress of CCUS facilities and the implementation of climate-positive solutions, such as Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage and Direct Air Capture. Future changes in industrial processes are also discussed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en14092406","authors":["Maria João Regufe","Ana Pereira","Alexandre F. P.

Pipelines are an efficient and cost-effective way to transport large volumes of CO 2 . Safe transportation of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to offshore storage and injection facilities is one of the prerequisites to ensuring safe CCUS operation. The current work first examines offshore CO 2 pipeline hazards in CCUS projects based on existing literature. Then, it compares pipeline safety regulations in the USA , Europe, Australia, China, and the Middle East, aiming to identify how these regulations have covered these hazards and potential areas for improvement. Lastly, it provides recommendations to enhance CO 2 pipelines' safety within CCUS projects. The results suggest that although the examined jurisdictions share a holistic commitment towards safety and environmental protection, notable differences exist. The existing regulations in the USA and Australia do not sufficiently account for the challenges faced in offshore CCUS operations, particularly those posed by CO 2 impurities. In Europe, the distinct hazards of CO 2 streams from CCUS are acknowledged. However, the required directives and guidelines for pipeline design and operation have not adequately addressed these hazards. Bridging these regulatory gaps requires measures including international harmonization , establishing guidelines for repurposing pipelines, and the implementation of Safety Case legislations. Furthermore, the existing regulatory frameworks can be improved by integrating with standardizing organizations' operating standards and recommended practices (e.g., Det Norske Veritas and International Organization for Standardization). This paper will be a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and industrial stakeholders in understanding the regulatory landscape for offshore CO 2 pipelines for CCUS purposes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.140734","authors":["Ahmed Hamdy El-Kady","Md Tanjin Amin","Faisal Khan","Mahmoud M.

We suggest that new thermal power plants, particularly those in developing countries, consider issuing capture options at the design stage, because the sellers—the owners of newly built thermal power plants—may then invest in making these plants CO 2 capture ready (CCR) to optimise returns from selling capture options. In a detailed case study on a 600 MW ultrasupercritical pulverised coal-fired power unit a potential storage site in Guangdong, China, the value of a capture option and CCR investment is evaluated using the backward deduction option pricing method through a stochastic cash flow model with Monte-Carlo simulations. If the power plant is retrofittable without CCR investment, then for an 8% discount rate the value of a capture option is US $11 million before CCR investment. Investing US $3.8 million in CCR increases the value of the capture option by an estimated US $12 million. Perhaps more important from a policy point of view, CCR investment can reduce the odds of early closure by 20% and also increase the chance of retrofitting to capture by 43%. If the power plant is not retrofittable in the absence of CCR design modifications, CCR investment to avoid ‘carbon lock-in’ is not only important for climate policy but is also economic from an investment point of view.

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) can be an effective intermediate solution for the decarbonization of fossil fuels. However, many research works contain renewables in the design of CCU systems, which may mislead stakeholders regarding the hotspots of CCU systems. In this work we build a model of a CCU system with no renewables involved, and evaluate its greenhouse (GHG) emissions based on the life cycle assessment with a cradle-to-gate boundary. To pursue the best system performance, an optimization framework is established to digitalize and optimize the CCU system regarding GHG emissions reduction. The optimized CCU can reduce GHG emissions by 13% compared with the conventional process. Heating is identified as the most significant contributor to GHG emissions, accounting for 60%. Electrifying heating fully by low-carbon electricity can further reduce GHG emissions by 47%, but such extreme conditions will significantly sacrifice the economic benefit. By contrast, the multi-objective optimization can show how the decisions can affect the balance between GHG emissions and profit. Further, this work discusses the dual effect of carbon pricing on the CCU system – raising the cost of raw materials and utilities, but also gaining credits when emissions are reduced in producing valued products.","url":"https://doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2021-l17v4","authors":["Zhimian Hao","Magda Barecka","Alexei Lapkin"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-22T02:14:38Z","doi":"10.26434/chemrxiv-2021-l17v4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5772/intechopen.95088","name":"Introductory Chapter: Carbon Capture","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.95088","authors":["Syed Abdul Rehman Khan","Zhang Yu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-03-17T15:04:13Z","doi":"10.5772/intechopen.95088","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.engfailanal.2025.109905","name":"A review of corrosion in flowing conditions during dense phase CO2 transport for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfailanal.2025.109905","authors":["Arne Simons","Roya Tavangar","Kim Verbeken","Tom Depover"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-16T15:50:49Z","doi":"10.1016/j.engfailanal.2025.109905","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-97-9859-9_101","name":"Carbon Capture and Utilization","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-9859-9_101","authors":["Girish Basavaraju"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-11T09:58:05Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-97-9859-9_101","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.202474009","name":"Thermo-Chemo-Mechanical Models to Evaluate the Seismic Properties of Water-rock-CO2 Reactions for Carbon Sequestration in Fractured Reservoirs","source":"crossref","abstract":"Summary A typical reservoir for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) consists of porous hydrous basalt formations with stiff and soft pores (cracks). Fe-and Ca-rich basalt formations are the most promising mafic reservoir where the dominant storage mechanism involves solubility and mineralization through water-rock-CO₂ reactions. Insights into the elasticity, porosity, and permeability of water-rock-CO₂ reactions have great potential for seismic monitoring in carbon sequestration, which remains largely unaddressed in the literature. Cements (carbonate nodules), growing around the edges of cracks/fractures, frequently block up fluid-flow pathways, significantly affecting permeability and consolidation.

Considering the permeability of soft cracks is affected by the radius of carbonate nodules, we estimate the P-wave velocity and the carbon amount sequestered after CO₂ injection.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202474009","authors":["N.

By comparing different MP production routes starting from liquid substrates derived from CO 2 (i.e., formate, acetate, methanol, and ethanol) and their respective metabolic pathways, the potential of this concept as a carbon-neutral food or feed production process was estimated.

The process is expected to produce 3 to 7 million cubic feet/d of combustion gases, with an anticipated composition of 20% CO2(g) and 80% N2(g). As an option for Carbon Capture and Storage of produced CO2, mineral carbonation in caustic byproducts (liquor and red mud) from alumina production was assessed at lab scale. Byproducts were characterized showing pH values 12 - 14 and important quantities of NaOH. Caustic liquor and red mud were exposed to gas blends (ambient pressure and temperature) with 10 and 20% CO2(g) in N2(g), as well as pure CO2(g), until reaching pressure stabilization into liquid-gas system. Red mud suspensions with various densities were exposed as well to gas blends during several cycles. Saturation point was reached when consumption of NaOH was completed, resulting in the precipitation of Na2CO3. Results showed that caustic mud has a CO2 capture capacity of 7.9 kg CO2(g)/m3, or 19 kg Na2CO3/m3 reaching pH 8.3 at carbonate equilibrium. On the other hand CO2 capture capacity of the red mud was 87 kg CO2(g)/m3. Thermogravimetric analysis of red mud (270 - 670 °C) shows less than 2% mass loss which is a good indicator of actual CO2 sequestration. ISCPP will produce around 77000 ton CO2(g) in 3 years of operation, and caustic liquor from alumina process will have sufficient capacity for its complete capture. Results revealed the existence of an important sink for CO2(g) to be produced in Orinoco Oil Belt, which would diminish as well the hazard of caustic liquor and red mud.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139661-ms","authors":["M.

Aus diesem Grund finden Technologien zur Bindung, Speicherung und Wiederverwertung von CO2 immer größere Aufmerksamkeit und diverse chemische als auch biologische Ansätze werden verfolgt. Eine dieser Möglichkeiten umfasst die Reduktion von CO2 mit Hilfe von molekularem Wasserstoff. Im Prozess der direkten Hydrogenierung von CO2 zu Ameisensäure bzw. Formiat wird nicht nur CO2 gebunden, sondern ebenfalls H2 in flüssiger Form gespeichert. Die Ameisensäure weist gegenüber dem hochflüchtigen Wasserstoffgas verschiedene Vorteile auf und zählt zu der Gruppe der flüssigen, organischen Wasserstoffspeicherverbindungen. Daneben ist das Einsatzgebiet von Ameisensäure als Ausgangstoff für Chemikalien oder als mikrobielle Kohlenstoffquelle sehr vielseitig und die Verbindung erfreut sich zunehmenden Interesses. Die Natur hält biologische Katalysatoren (Enzyme) für die Reduktion von CO2 bereit. Die Gruppe der obligat anaeroben, acetogenen Bakterien verwendet so genannte Formiatdehydrogenasen als CO2-Reduktasen, um CO2 im Wood-Ljungdahl-Weg (WLP) der Bakterien fixieren zu können. Diese Enzyme katalysieren die reversible 2-Elektronen Reduktion von CO2 zu Ameisensäure. Kürzlich konnte aus den beiden Vertretern A. woodii (mesophil) und T. kivui (thermophil) ein neuartiger, cytoplasmatischer Enzymkomplex isoliert werden. Dieser Enzymkomplex koppelt die Reduktion von CO2 direkt an die Oxidation von H2 und wird deshalb als Wasserstoff-abhängige CO2-Reduktase bezeichnet (engl. hydrogen-dependent CO2 reductase, HDCR). Die HDCR katalysiert dabei die reversible Hydrogenierung von CO2 zu Formiat mit annähernd gleicher Kinetik und gleichen Umsatzraten. Die bei der CO2 Reduktion erreichten Umsatzraten übertrafen dabei bisherige chemische als auch biologische Katalysatoren um mehre Größenordnungen. Im Hinblick auf die besonderen katalytischen Eigenschaften der HDCRs wurde in dieser Arbeit die biotechnologische Anwendbarkeit der Enzyme als Biokatalysatoren zur Speicherung und Sequestrierung von H2 und CO2 in Form von Ameisensäure untersucht. Im Speziellen wurde ein HDCR-basiertes Ganz-Zell-System für das thermophile Bakterium T. kivui entwickelt. Um eine Ganz-Zell basierte Umwandlung von H2 und CO2 zu Formiat zu gewährleisten, wurde zuvor die Weiterverwertung des Formiats zu Acetat im WLP gestoppt. Durch eine Reduktion des zellulären ATP-Gehalts konnte eine weitere Prozessierung des aus der HDCR-Reaktion gebildeten Formiats im Zellstoffwechsel des Bakteriums unterbunden werden. Die Formiatbildung aus H2 und CO2 wurde in Zellsuspensionen von T. kivui untersucht und charakterisiert. Hier zeigten T. kivui Zellen die höchste spezifische Formiatbildungsrate, die bis dato in der Literatur genannt wurde. Ebenfalls wurde in dieser Arbeit die Umwandlung von Synthesegas (H2 + CO2 und CO) und CO zu Formiat geprüft. Bioenergetisch entkoppelte und auf CO-adaptierte T. kivui Zellen konnten in der Tat Synthesegas exklusiv zu Formiat umsetzen. Um die CO-Verwertung zu Acetat und Formiat im Stoffwechsel der Rnf- (A. woodii) und Ech-Acetogenen (T. kivui) verstehen zu können, wurden Mutanten von Δhdcr, ΔcooS, ΔhydBA, Δrnf and Δech2 von A. woodii und T. kivui zur Hilfe genommen. In beiden Organismen war die CO-basierte Formiatbildung vom Vorhandensein eines funktionalen HDCR-Enzymkomplexes abhängig. Für eine mögliche biotechnologische Anwendung wurde die Maßstabsvergrößerung des Ganz-Zell-Systems angestrebt und hin zum Bioreaktormaßstab mit kontrollierten Prozessbedingungen skaliert. Diese Arbeit demonstriert die effiziente Umwandlung von H2 und CO2 zu Formiat und vice versa unter Verwendung eines Rührkesselreaktors.

The saline aquifers (Mississippian Osage, Ordovician Viola, and Cambrian-Ordovician) are overlain by oil reservoirs that are candidates for CO2 Enhanced Oil recovery (EOR). Of the four possible sites in the NHSC, the Patterson site was chosen as the primary site for a CarbonSAFE Phase II project. Patterson was chosen because the operator of the overlying fields, Berexco, was a long-term research partner of the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS), having participated in several DOE-funded studies with the KGS. Patterson has EOR opportunities in overlying reservoirs and most of the prospective injection site is already unitized. Capture, compression and transportation of large volumes of CO2 is economic in the region, particularly since the extension and expansion of Federal 45Q tax credits in February 2018 that provide $35/ton for CO2 stored during EOR and $50/ton if stored in a saline reservoir and can be captured for a 12-year period. Without these credits, saline aquifer storage is not economically viable. The most economic scenario involves CO2 aggregated from multiple ethanol plants via small-diameter pipelines that tie into a main trunk line for delivery to market. CO2 EOR likely needs to be part of the system to provide economy of scale and, potentially, additional subsidy for saline aquifer injection through CO2 sales. High capture costs at the two power plants and refinery in this study make them non-economic options without further subsidy that may arise from a large regional pipeline system. Legal, regulatory, public policy aspects of a project of the scale envisioned will require significant changes at the State level. In particular, legislation that would regulate capture, transportation, injection and storage as a public utility would be required along with allowances for eminent domain to be used for pipeline right-of-way and pooling of pore space. Streamlining the U.S. EPA UIC Class VI well permit process and/or establishing State primacy would further support development of commercial-scale CCS. Effective public outreach is critical for support of State regulatory changes, and for public acceptance, particularly in light of possibility for induced seismicity due to injection in certain areas and mixed public opinions about pipeline construction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/196186-ms","authors":["Yevhen Holubnyak","Martin Dubois","Jennifer Hollenbach","Franciszek Hasiuk"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-09-18T01:09:36Z","doi":"10.2118/196186-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3723/bvai3719","name":"The Geotechnical Challenges Associated with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)","source":"crossref","abstract":"This paper reviews carbon dioxide capture, transportation and geological storage before discussing the associated civil engineering, geotechnical and geomechanical challenges, focusing on North Sea settings.

The purpose of this work is to estimate the magnitude of effort required to meet this projection, both from an economic and an energy point of view. Based on the post-combustion process of a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant and using Shell-Cansolv proprietary DC-103 solvent as a reference capture agent, an analysis of the energy requirements and economic costs associated with this technology has been conducted. This analysis includes parameters such as the energy surplus required for CO2 capture, Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX) of the plant. Costs related to CO2 transport and storage have not been considered. The values obtained, applied to the IEA's climate neutrality goals, are essential for understanding the operational and economic challenges of post-combustion capture. In particular, considering the important role of CCS in the IEA report and considering the calculation made with the reference data, about 5000 plants would need to be built by 2050, equivalent to an average of nearly 200 plants annually. This would require an investment of $1.24 trillion according by the current available technologies. Moreover, an additional energy cost of about 25% for the CCGT plant would be required to capture the CO2 that has been emitted for the power production. This could also result in additional CO2 emissions, thereby reducing the net capture capacity of the system. These data illustrate the scale of commitment required to achieve the ambitious climate-neutrality goals, in which significant amount of economic efforts and energy resources will have to be drawn upon. It also highlights the urgency of investing in more efficient and sustainable CO2 capture technologies and strategies. This study provides quantitative data that can be useful in making informed decisions regarding the adoption and implementation of CCS technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/220020-ms","authors":["P.

To optimize CO2 solubility in water, it is essential to integrate and evaluate the key variables that influence the capture process, enabling the identification of ideal operating conditions. This study aims to analyze the phenomena and examine the effects of variables such as CO2 gas flow rate, water flow rate, water temperature, circulation time, and differential pressure on the effectiveness of the CO2 capture process, as indicated by the mass of CO2 dissolved in water within the system. The experiment was carried out using a transparent absorber column filled with packing material. CO2 gas with 99.9% purity was introduced at flow rates of 2 and 4 dm3/min, while water was recirculated at flow rates of 0.25 and 0.5 dm3/min. The system operated at water temperatures between 24 and 30 °C, with circulation durations of 5, 10, and 15 min, and differential pressures of 30 and 50 mmHg. Samples were collected at the end of each circulation period and CO2 absorption was determined through titration using 0.1 M NaOH and phenolphthalein as the indicator. The results demonstrated that higher water flow rates and increased pressure differentials enhanced the capture performance, as evidenced by greater CO2 absorption. Conversely, elevated water temperatures and higher CO2 gas flow rates led to decreased absorption efficiency. The most favorable conditions were achieved at 24 °C, a water flow rate of 0.5 dm3/min, a circulation time of 15 min, and a differential pressure of 50 mmHg, resulting in 1.672 g of CO2 absorbed. The results of this study indicate that water has the potential to serve as an environmentally friendly alternative technology for CCS applications. However, further research is needed to develop a process that is effective, efficient, and more cost-effective. HIGHLIGHTS Higher water flow rates and pressure differentials significantly improved CO2 capture efficiency. Increased water temperature and CO2 gas flow rate reduced absorption performance. Optimal conditions yielded 1.672 g CO2 absorbed at 24 °C, 0.5 dm3/min water flow, circulation time of 15 min, and differential pressure (Dp) of 50 mmHg.

The onshore rift basins located at proximity to CO2 sources, including Yanbu, Jiddah and Jizan basins, are mostly small half-grabens filled by syn- to post-rift siliciclastics with minor evaporites and/or volcanics. This study explores the feasibility of an innovative approach: dissolved CO2 storage in shallow post-rift clastic reservoirs, to increase the carbon storage potential in these basins. By co-injecting CO2 and water into shallow saline aquifers ( Addassi et al., 2024 ), the CO2 rapidly dissolves in water forming a dense, CO2-saturated solution that migrates downward into the reservoir, where the CO2 becomes permanently sequestered through solubility trapping. This method eliminates the need for a caprock and mitigates risks associated with dry-out and salt precipitation. This study presents a case study from a rift basin in southwestern Saudi Arabia to demonstrate the potential of dissolved CO2 storage as a viable solution for CCS deployment in these challenging geological settings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.2025644058","authors":["J.

This article provides an overview of the primary carbon capture and storage technologies, explores their technical principles along with their pros and cons, and examines the challenges they encounter. There are three ways to capture carbon: post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxy-combustion. Post-combustion capture includes adsorption, absorption and membrane separation. Adsorption can be further categorized into four specific technologies: Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA), Pressure swing adsorption (PSA), Vacuum swing adsorption (VSA), and Electric swing adsorption (ESA). Absorption has physical and chemical types. Membrane separation is to filter the gas to CO2. Pre-combustion capture is to use physical solvents to separate the gas. Oxy-combustion uses pure oxygen to obtain CO2. There are three ways to store carbon, geo-sequestration, marine storage and mineralization storage. Geo-sequestration is to bury CO2 in a suitable state in the rock layer below the surface. Marine storage is to bury CO2 in various places in the sea in a classified manner. Mineralization storage refers to the use of solid waste rich in calcium and magnesium to mineralize CO2 and produce chemical products. There are three main challenges facing CCS technology: economically, the cost is too high with low benefits. The technology is not mature enough and will consume too much energy.

However, the current China's carbon emissions trading (CET) policy is inadequate in encouraging power generation enterprises to take proactive measures towards emission reduction due to challenges like fixed and low carbon prices. The high proportion of renewable energy in electricity consumption also faces significant challenges due to the unpredictable nature of wind and PV energy. Therefore, this paper applies stepped CET mechanism, energy storage system (ES) system and carbon capture and storage (CCS) mechanism together to hybrid renewable energy system, aiming to study their synergistic carbon emission reduction effect. Firstly, the paper constructs the stepped CET model considering incentives and penalties. Secondly, the stepped CET model, ES system and CCS are jointly introduced into the hybrid renewable energy system. Finally, a scenario analysis is conducted to investigate the synergistic effect of various carbon emissions reduction policies and technologies in the operation of power generation systems. The results show that: i) compared with traditional CET, the stepped CET increases renewable energy consumption by 0.12% and reduces carbon emissions by 0.6%; ii) the introduction of stepped CET and ES equipment together consumes an additional 36.1% of renewable energy and reduces carbon emissions by 32.4%; iii) based on stepped CET model and ES equipment, the introduction of CCS system reduces carbon emissions by 29.4%.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-023-28644-0","authors":["Yongmei Wei","Xinyu Wang","Jin Zheng","Yihong Ding","Jiaming He","Jian Han"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-13T07:02:20Z","doi":"10.1007/s11356-023-28644-0","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784413678.ch07","name":"Carbon Reuses for a Sustainable Future","source":"crossref","abstract":"Understanding different CO2 reuse options, how the technology has evolved, and the challenges of adopting these technologies is useful.

A portfolio of supply and demand-side strategies is needed to reach emissions objectives, especially in the near term. Furthermore, model results show that the breakdown of capture technologies does not have a significant influence on potential emissions reductions.

Baker Hughes, in collaboration with Sentinel Subsea, has successfully deployed patented passive well monitoring systems able to detect a range of subsea emissions and alert well owners. This early detection and warning technology harnesses the natural forces and processes of chemistry and physics but does not use any electrical power for the monitoring and detection of fluids. Static mechanical structures and the natural buoyancy of escaping fluids of interest are used to gather fluids in the subsea environment where they are detected chemically using specially developed Triggers. By using fluid-specific Triggers, systems respond only to the fluid(s) of interest, not to other fluids typically encountered around subsea assets. When the target fluid has been detected passively, a coded signal beacon (previously dormant) is mechanically released to the ocean surface using self-buoyancy where an alarm is transmitted via satellite and the responsible party alerted. Systems are currently supporting multiple major and independent operators mitigate the risks associated with subsea wells globally.

Fossil fuels currently account for 85% of the world’s total energy consumption, which has created issues such as global warming, fuel security and the depletion of non-renewable resources. The rapid depletion of fossil fuels has resulted in increased utilization of biomass as a bioenergy resource in future systems. Currently, bioenergy represents one of the most significant available opportunities. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) defines bioenergy as the energy derived from biomass-based fuels, where biomass is defined as ‘material of biological origin excluding material embedded in geological formations and transformed to fossil’ (FAOViews on Bioenergy, 2012). According to the US Department of Energy, bioenergy is the energy derived from any available renewable organic matter that includes energy crops, wastes and residues from the agriculture industry, waste from the forestry industry, aquatic plants, wastes from animals, and municipal wastes (US Department of Energy, 2012). A number of initiatives are currently being developed that aim to reduce oil dependency and fossil-based greenhouse gas emissions. There is great promise in using renewable energy resources, including the increased production of bio-based fuels, as a possible way to solve environmental issues. Renewable fuels are likely to play an important role in the future as replacement of fossil fuels, due to increasingly strict regulations for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. The European Union (EU) has set a target for biofuel use in the transportation sector of 5.75% by 2010 (EU Directive, 2003). According to a 2009 renewable directive (Fig. 10.1), the share of renewable sources should be 20% of energy supplied by 2020 and a share of 10% biofuels in the transportation sector (Swedish EnergyAgency, 2009). Bioenergy currently provides 69 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in the EU,which is equivalent to approximately 4%of EU’s total primary energy consumption. With the increasing consumption of fossil fuels, developing innovative bioenergy polygeneration technologies will help meet these challenging targets. Bioenergy can help in reducing greenhouse emissions related to fossil-based fuels. Biomass is considered to be CO2-neutral if it is sustainably managed, while it is also important to improve the efficiency of the current bioenergy systems (Thuijl et al., 2003; Möllersten and Yan, 2001). Theoretically, carbon emissions from the bioenergy production and consumption stages may be counterbalanced by photosynthesis during biomass growth. There are different technologies and various energy alternatives exist for bioenergy production, including biofuels for transport, combined heat and power generation, and upgraded biofuel such as pellets. Figure 10.2 shows various bioenergy polygeneration alternatives. Since biomass is a limited resource, bioenergy production should be as efficient as possible and the integration with other industrial processes should be energy efficient; that is the production of high-quality products should require as little energy as possible. Biomass energy resources can be used sustainably if they are produced in a sustainable manner. Forest-based biomass plays an important role as a raw material for wood-based bioenergy products and as a renewable fuel.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/b14513-21","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-12-23T18:54:29Z","doi":"10.1201/b14513-21","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.6542499","name":"Carbon Capture and Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage for Municipal Waste-to-Energy in Trondheim: Scenario-Based EnergyPLAN Modelling","source":"crossref","abstract":"Municipal waste-to-energy (WtE) plants are central to district-heating (DH) supply in Nordic cities, yet they face two systemlevel challenges, including CO 2 emissions from the fossil fraction of municipal solid waste and a seasonal mismatch between heat production and varying DH demand in summer and winter. In Trondheim (Norway), this mismatch leads to summer heat rejection and winter dependence on auxiliary peak units, particularly electric boilers. This study investigates whether combining post-combustion carbon capture and storage (CCS) with large-scale seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) can reduce Trondheim's net CO 2 emissions and more effectively use excess summer heat in the DH system. Hourly simulations were performed in EnergyPLAN, where a calibrated reference energy system for Trondheim within the NO3 bidding-zone boundary was compared with a future transition configuration. The future transition energy system considers a case in which excess heat from waste incineration in summer is stored and later used for winter heat supply. It includes a CCS retrofit of the waste incineration plant in Trondheim with a 90% capture rate applied to the fossil CO 2 fraction, a pit-based STES with 90 GWh t_h storage capacity, and expanded variable renewable energy generation. The assessment includes hourly energy balances, DH technology dispatch, electricity exchange behaviour, renewable energy shares, and annual CO 2 emission; while detailed engineering design, siting, and techno-economic optimisation are outside the study boundary. The results show that the combined CCS-STES configuration enables clear inter-seasonal heat shifting from summer to winter and reduces dependence on auxiliary DH supply. Approximately 0.16 TWh of heat becomes available for storage charging, while the annual auxiliary-source contribution to DH decreases from 0.20 TWh/yr in the reference scenario to 0.18 TWh/yr in the future scenario. Electrification increases electricity demand and intensifies import-export activity, while the system remains net-exporting on an annual basis. Most importantly, the CCS-enabled 2035 case shifts the annual CO 2 balance from +0.070 Mt/yr to-0.122 Mt/yr. The results indicate that joint CCS-STES deployment can transform municipal WtE from a baseload heat supplier into a combined flexibility and deep-mitigation asset for DH-dominated cities.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.6542499","authors":["Shivaraj Chandrakant Patil","Magnus Korpås","Karen  Byskov Lindberg"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-20T15:59:20Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.6542499","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-008044704-9/50101-4","name":"How aware is the public of carbon capture and storage?","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-008044704-9/50101-4","authors":["T CURRY","D REINER","S ANSOLABEHERE","H HERZOG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2007-08-03T07:17:44Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-008044704-9/50101-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1115/1.4066654","name":"Analysis of Carbon Dioxide Injectivity and Dynamic Storage Capacity in Shale Reservoirs","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Carbon dioxide could be stored in unconventional shale reservoirs in a supercritical state due to available pore volume, infrastructure, and injectivity.

While we find approval of coercive and persuasion-based policy scenarios for incentivisation, supportive instruments proved polarising.

We conclude that public support for BECCS is inextricably linked to attitudes towards the policies through which it is incentivised.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-08592-5","authors":["Rob Bellamy","Javier Lezaun","James Palmer"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-02-14T11:03:38Z","doi":"10.1038/s41467-019-08592-5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/su151914486","name":"Carbon Capture and Storage: Application in the Oil and Gas Industry","source":"crossref","abstract":"As a rapidly evolving technology, carbon capture and storage (CCS) can potentially lower the levels of greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and gas industry.

The rate of this increase may be unprecedented in Earth’s history and is leading to a substantial increase in global temperatures, ocean acidification, sea level rise and potentially human health challenges. In this Geochemical Perspectives we review the natural carbon cycle and its link to global climate. Notably, as directly observed by field observations summarised in this volume, there is a natural negative feedback loop between increasing global temperature, continental weathering rates, and CO2 that has tended to limit Earth climate changes over geological time scales. Due to the rapid increase in atmospheric carbon concentrations, global average temperatures have increased by more than 1.2 °C since the start of the industrial revolution. One way to slow or even arrest this increasing global average temperature is through Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Carbon dioxide can be captured either from large industrial point sources or directly from the atmosphere. Taking account of the natural carbon cycle, the most secure approach to storing captured CO2 is by reacting it with mafic or ultramafic rocks to form stable carbonate minerals, a process referred to as “mineral carbonation”. Although mineral carbonation can occur and be accelerated at the Earth’s surface, due to the required scale and required time frames it is most effective in the subsurface. This subsurface mineralisation approach was developed into an industrial scale process through an academic-industrial collaboration called CarbFix. The history of CarbFix, from its beginnings as a concept through its installation as an industrial process is presented in detail. This Geochemical Perspectives concludes with an assessment of the future of subsurface mineralisation as a means to help address the global warming challenge, as well as a detailed list of potential research directions that need to be addressed to further upscale and optimise this carbon storage approach.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7185/geochempersp.12.2","authors":["Eric Oelkers","Sigurdur Gislason"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-10-18T08:23:31Z","doi":"10.7185/geochempersp.12.2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/en17081889","name":"Impact of Regional Pressure Dissipation on Carbon Capture and Storage Projects: A Comprehensive Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical technology for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. CCS involves capturing CO2 emissions from industrial processes and power plants and injecting them deep underground for long-term storage. The success of CCS projects is influenced by various factors, including the regional pressure dissipation effects in subsurface geological formations. The safe and efficient operation of CCS projects depends on maintaining the pressure in the storage formation. Regional pressure dissipation, often resulting from the permeability and geomechanical properties of the storage site, can have significant effects on project integrity. This paper provides a state-of-art of the impact of regional pressure dissipation on CCS projects, highlights its effects, and discusses ongoing investigations in this area based on different case studies. The results corroborate the idea that the Sleipner project has considerable lateral hydraulic connectivity, which is evidenced by pressure increase ranging from &lt;0.1 MPa in case of an uncompartmentalized reservoir to &gt;1 MPa in case of substantial flow barriers. After five years of injection, pore pressures in the water leg of a gas reservoir have increased from 18 MPa to 30 MPa at Salah project, resulting in a 2 cm surface uplift. Furthermore, artificial CO2 injection was simulated numerically for 30 years timespan in the depleted oil reservoir of Jurong, located near the Huangqiao CO2-oil reservoir. The maximum amount of CO2 injected into a single well could reach 5.43 × 106 tons, potentially increasing the formation pressure by up to 9.5 MPa. In conclusion, regional pressure dissipation is a critical factor in the implementation of CCS projects. Its impact can affect project safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Ongoing research and investigations are essential to improve our understanding of this phenomenon and develop strategies to mitigate its effects, ultimately advancing the success of CCS as a climate change mitigation solution.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17081889","authors":["Haval Kukha Hawez","Taimoor Asim"],"tags":["Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Greenhouse gas","Environmental science","Petroleum engineering","Carbon sequestration"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-16","doi":"10.3390/en17081889","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T10:59:23.899Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.5806565","name":"A Three-Layered Sample Selection Model for Contingent Valuation: Application to Carbon Capture and Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5806565","authors":["Priscilla Creppy","Erlend  Dancke Sandorf","Anders Dugstad","Matteo Zuch","Jacob Ladenburg"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-25T22:42:03Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.5806565","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47363/jeesr/2020(2)129","name":"Legal and Policy Analysis of Carbon Capture and Storage in China","source":"crossref","abstract":"This paper focuses on relevant legal and policy arrangements necessary for the development of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in China.

It was shown that biogas can accelerate the net-zero achievement.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003736820-8","authors":["Kraipat Cheenkachorn"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-25T08:53:31Z","doi":"10.1201/9781003736820-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.202570014","name":"Reactive Transport Simulations of CO2 Sequestration and Mineralization in Deccan Basalt","source":"crossref","abstract":"Summary The Deccan Basalt formation in the Deccan Volcanic Province offers significant potential for geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) due to its extensive coverage and unique mineral composition. Previous studies estimate that the region could store between 94 and 305 gigatonnes of CO2, making it a key candidate for carbon mitigation in India. However, understanding the factors influencing CO2 migration, trapping mechanisms, and mineral carbonation in these basalt formations remains an area of ongoing research. This study builds on prior work by investigating how temperature, pressure, pH, petrophysical properties, and CO2 injection strategies affect the efficiency of mineral carbonation in the Deccan Basalt over 250 years. Using multiphase and multicomponent reactive transport modeling, the study examines the role of various minerals (including albite, anorthite, and diopside) in CO2 sequestration under different reservoir conditions. Results indicate that CO2 trapping is most effective under moderate temperature and pressure, with anorthite being the most reactive. Cyclic CO2 injection outperforms continuous injection, enhancing mineral precipitation and clay formation. The study concludes that CO2 sequestration in Deccan basalt is viable with proper management and monitoring, though site-specific studies are needed for practical implementation. Further research on mineral variations and microbial effects on carbonation is recommended.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202570014","authors":["P.R. Punnam","V.

Improving the carbon intensity of ethanol by integrating energy efficient technologies in its production could improve its competitiveness as a transportation fuel and expand options for its use as a feedstock for production of chemicals. Two alternative technologies that could reduce emissions from ethanol production are compared in this work: (1) carbon capture and storage (CCS) and (2) electrifying provision of heat to the production process. We modelled a 151 million litres per year dry grind ethanol plant using ASPEN Plus and conducted a life cycle assessment based on Argonne National Lab’s GREET.net 2019 Model. Results showed that capture of the fossil CO2 can reduce the carbon intensity of ethanol production by 13.6 gCO2eq/MJ relative to a conventional dry mill plant and that the capture of the biogenic CO2 results in an atmospheric reduction of 32.9 CO2eq/MJ. The net impact is a reduction of the ethanol carbon intensity by 84%, to only 8.9 gCO2eq/MJ when both biogenic and fossil CO2 are captured. While electrification of the heat provision using a heat pump reduces overall heat demand, there is almost no change to life cycle emissions as a result of the relatively high carbon intensity of the US electricity grid. However, the life cycle carbon intensity can be reduced by 113% when zero emission renewable electricity is introduced.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4285794","authors":["Kafayat Oke","John Dees","Hannah Goldstein","Sean McCoy","Daniel L.

Indonesia heavily relies on coal for electricity production, accounting for 70% of its electricity as of 2021. This reliance poses significant environmental and health risks, necessitating a shift towards renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. The transition is essential in the face of global demands for sustainable energy solutions and the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2060. PT PLN, Indonesia's state-owned electricity company, is pivotal in this transition. The company's strategic goals align with national and global efforts to mitigate climate change, focusing on sustainability, innovation, customer focus, and efficiency. PT PLN's initiatives include expanding renewable energy capacity, adopting co-firing biomass technology, and exploring carbon capture and storage (CCS). Despite challenges such as dependence on coal and the need for new technological expertise, PT PLN has the opportunity to leverage technological advancements, government support, and public environmental awareness. Financially, the study reveals that the retirement of coal power plants is viable, as indicated by Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) figures. However, a broader evaluation considering environmental impacts and future costs associated with climate change mitigation suggests the need for a comprehensive financial and environmental assessment. This assessment underscores the importance of integrating environmental considerations into financial decision-making. The research employs methodologies like SWOT and VRIO analysis, along with financial projections, to understand PT PLN's internal capabilities and external market dynamics. The findings highlight the significance of a holistic approach in addressing the challenges of energy transition in Indonesia. The study concludes that while transitioning to a sustainable energy mix is challenging, it is vital for environmental preservation and aligns with global climate change efforts, emphasizing the need for Indonesia's energy sector to balance financial viability with long-term ecological and social responsibility.","url":"https://doi.org/10.47310/hjebm.2024.v05i01.033","authors":["Dewi Melati","Erman Arif Sumirat","Oktofa Yudha Sudrajad"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-09T09:47:51Z","doi":"10.47310/hjebm.2024.v05i01.033","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/access.2023.3255508","name":"Low-Carbon Economic Dispatch of Integrated Electricity-Gas Energy System Considering Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"With the rapid development of modern industry, while improving people’s living standards, the over-exploitation of coal, oil and natural gas has led to a shortage of fossil energy, global warming and an increasingly serious deterioration of the ecological environment.

In this paper, a bi-level optimal scheduling model is proposed for an IEGS considering carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), and the ladder carbon trading mechanism is introduced to convert carbon emissions into economic benefits. The upper model is an optimal distribution model of natural gas network, and the lower model is a day-ahead economic dispatch model of power system. Based on the Karush-Kuhn-Tucher (KKT) condition and strong duality theory of the lower model, the bi-level model is transformed into a mixed integer linear programming (MILP), which is solved by calling CPLEX through the Yalmip toolbox of the Matlab platform. Finally, the reasonableness and validity of the model are verified by three arithmetic simulations. The results show that the proposed bi-level model for low-carbon economic dispatch of IEGS considering CCUS can effectively reduce the operating costs and carbon emissions of the system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/access.2023.3255508","authors":["Xinghua Liu","Xiang Li","Jiaqiang Tian","Guoqing Yang","Huibao Wu","Rong Ha","Peng Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-03-10T13:28:37Z","doi":"10.1109/access.2023.3255508","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/9781119237716","name":"Biomass Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): Unlocking Negative Emissions","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119237716","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-07-25T00:35:15Z","doi":"10.1002/9781119237716","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.755Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4043/31651-ms","name":"A Toolkit for Carbon Capture and Storage in Offshore Depleted Gas Field","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, utilization, and storage is the best option for mitigating atmospheric emissions of CO2 and thereby controlling the greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. Despite the benefits, there have been a limited number of projects solely for CO2 sequestration being implemented. The industry is well-versed in gas injection in reservoir formation for pressure maintenance and improving oil recovery. However, there are striking differences between the injection of CO2 into depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and the engineered storage of CO2. The differences and challenges are compounded when the storage site is karstified carbonate in offshore and bulk storage volume. It is paramount to know upfront that CO2 can be stored at a potential storage site and demonstrate that the site can meet required storage performance safety criteria. Comprehensive screening for site selection has been carried out for suitable CO2 storage sites in offshore Sarawak, Malaysia using geographical, geological, geophysical, geomechanical and reservoir engineering data and techniques for evaluating storage volume, container architecture, pressure, and temperature conditions. The site-specific input data are integrated into static and dynamic models for characterization and generating performance scenarios of the site. In addition, the geochemical interaction of CO2 with reservoir rock has been studied to understand possible changes that may occur during/after injection and their impact on injection processes/mechanisms. Novel 3-way coupled modelling of dynamic-geochemistry-geomechanics processes were carried out to study long-term dynamic behaviour and fate of CO2 in the formation. The 3-way coupled modelling helped to understand the likely state of injectant in future and the storage mechanism, i.e., structural, solubility, residual, and mineralized trapping. It also provided realistic storage capacity estimation, incorporating reservoir compaction and porosity/permeability changes. The study indicates deficient localized plastic shear strain in overburden flank fault whilst all the other flaws remained stable. The potential threat of leakage is minimal as target injection pressure is set at initial reservoir pressure, which is much lower than caprock breaching pressure during injection. Furthermore, it was found that the geochemical reaction impact is shallow and localized at the top of the reservoir, making the storage safe in the long term. The integrity of existing wells was evaluated for potential leakage and planned for a proper mitigation plan. Comprehensive measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) were also designed using state-of-art tools and dynamic simulation results. The understanding gaps are closed with additional technical work to improve technologies application and decrease the uncertainties. A comprehensive study for offshore CO2 storage projects identifying critical impacting elements is crucial for estimation, injection, containment, and monitoring CO2 plume. The information and workflow may be adopted to evaluate other CO2 projects in both carbonate and clastic reservoirs for long-term problem-free storage of greenhouse gas worldwide.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4043/31651-ms","authors":["Raj Deo Tewari","Chee Phuat Tan","M ohd Faizal Sedaralit"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-03-17T20:05:06Z","doi":"10.4043/31651-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.755Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64628/aai.7uy49xwe5","name":"Why the oil industry’s pivot to carbon capture and storage – while it keeps on drilling – isn’t a climate change solution","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.64628/aai.7uy49xwe5","authors":["June Sekera","Neva Goodwin"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-25T15:47:41Z","doi":"10.64628/aai.7uy49xwe5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.755Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1071/ep23140","name":"Commercialising carbon capture and storage – how much does regulatory certainty truly matter?","source":"openalex","abstract":"With carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology advancement reaching a point of scalability, there is a desperate need for global regulatory and legislative frameworks to support large-scale commercialisation.

If the UK is serious in its intentions, the necessary economic drivers will also be put in place. It remains to identify and resolve the technical issues that apply peculiarly to the UK. In recent years the capture technology has developed to the point of viability and storage has been accepted to be safe and ecologically sound, but relatively little work has been carried out on CO2 transport. In the US naturally occurring CO2 is routinely transported considerable distances overland through mostly sparsely populated regions for the purpose of enhanced oil recovery. There is also some limited transport of anthropogenic CO2. In the UK a number of suitable offshore CO2 sinks have been identified in the North and Irish Seas for EOR or simply for storage. It has been commonly assumed that the transport of CO2 from UK sources to offshore sinks is straightforward, and may even be able to make widespread use of existing infrastructure. However, there are significant differences between the US experience and the UK transport requirements. The UK will be dealing with anthropogenic CO2, mostly from power plant, which will impose constraints on the hydraulics that have not yet been fully explored. Considerable proportions of the transport system will be subsea, of which there is as yet virtually no experience. There are questions as to the suitability of much of the existing infrastructure and the desirability of using it. There is little experience with multi-source transport systems through densely populated regions.

This research focuses on investigating the specific roles of various biomolecules in natural carbon biomineralization and exploring state-of-the-art biomimetic carbon mineralization techniques, including whole-cell microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) and cell-free systems, for carbon sequestration. In addition, we discuss various sources of mineral cations, ranging from natural minerals to industrial waste to seawater, along with their advantages and limitations. Our findings highlight the potential and feasibility of biological carbon mineralization processes to contribute towards sustainable carbon sequestration. However, we also identify challenges and propose future directions to guide further research and the application of these processes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100257","authors":["Yifei Ma","Shouliang Yi","Meng Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-27T16:30:33Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100257","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.755Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/9781788012744-00008","name":"Understanding the Role of CCS Deployment in Meeting Ambitious Climate Goals","source":"crossref","abstract":"Meeting the ambitious long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement necessitates far-reaching changes in the global energy system and economy. Understanding both physical constraints on this transition, as well as economic constraints on the deployment of various technologies, can help to assess what role carbon capture and storage (CCS) can play in achieving this transition over the remainder of the century. This chapter reviews the necessary physical climate science to understand the role of CCS in limiting warming. We describe how the concept of a finite “carbon budget” arises out of interactions between the carbon-cycle and the rest of the climate system. A clear physically-based requirement for achieving the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement is the necessity of reaching global net-zero carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Based on this insight, we undertake a high-level but informative decomposition of Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) emissions reduction scenarios into contributions arising from the substitution of demand for carbon dioxide, and from the sequestration of carbon dioxide. In all scenarios that allow for the availability of CCS, the cost-effective solution offsets 20% or greater of business-as-usual end-of-century CO2 emissions with CCS and/or negative emissions technologies. We highlight the need for the sequestered fraction of extracted carbon, a potentially useful climate policy measure, to rise to reach unity in order to limit warming to any value and describe a near-term schedule for increases in this fraction compatible with IAM-simulated cost-effective pathways that succeed in meeting the Paris Agreement long-term temperature goal.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/9781788012744-00008","authors":["R.

As such, a carbonaceous adsorbent has been produced (via chemical activation) using biomass combustion bottom ash as a precursor. This process entailed an intelligently designed experimental campaign based on a randomised Taguchi L9 orthogonal array, which revealed moderate activation temperatures (∼625°C) and times (30 min) coupled with high ramp rates (10 – 15°C/min) to be preferable. Following this method, a highly microporous (∼93%) material was produced possessing a surface area of 643.6 m2/g. This, in turn, facilitated a substantial increase in CO2 uptake, namely, 1.29 mmol/g at 50°C (quadruple that of the parent carbon and double that of the physically activated counterpart).

The performed studies have demonstrated that CCS technologies are quite energy-intensive and expensive. This primarily concerns the CO2 capturing equipment, which is responsible for 60–80% of the CCS total expenditures. With a decrease in the partial pressure of CO2 in a gas mixture and the capacity of the capture plant, the cost of CO2 extraction increases drastically. This applies particularly to thermal power plants (TPPs). Their provision with CO2 capture systems increases the specific capital expenditures by 1.6–2.3 times and the cost of generated electricity by 1.4–1.6 times. The power required for operation of these system amounts to approximately 9–12% of the total plant output and up to 20% with certain technologies. The unit cost of CO2 capture becomes much greater if the power plant capacity is below 200 MW. The deployment of the CCS industry will require construction of a branched pipeline system for transportation of large volumes of CO2, comparable to the gas transmission system. This will extend the potential for application of CCS technologies. The specific expenditures for pipeline transportation of CO2 are controlled by the transported amount and phase state of CO2. Increasing the transported amount of CO2 from 0.1 to 5.0 million t/year cuts down the unit cost of transportation by almost an order of magnitude. The expenditures for CO2 storage depends essentially on the characteristics of the geological reservoir. The cheapest option of CO2 storage is onshore depleted oil and gas fields. Development of the CCS technology basis requires generous state support.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1134/s0040601522100020","authors":["S. P.

Carbon capture using solvent such as amine and aqueous ammonia has been extensively studied by many researchers. However, this capture technology for CCS scheme is comparatively costly. Alternatively, CO2 emission can be captured and stored by utilizing the well-understood natural photosynthetic process of marine cyanobacteria. However, the capturing process is very slow compared to chemical absorption. Hence, this study concentrates on carbon capturing and storing using integrated of aqueous ammonia and mutated marine cyanobacteria (Synechococcus PCC 7002 IIUM01). The objective of the study was to identify conditions that would maximize CO2 reduction under varying conditions namely CO2 flow rate, absorption temperature and aqueous ammonia concentrations. The effectiveness of the mutant cyanobacteria was quantified by measuring the cell concentration, percentage reduction in carbon dioxide concentration, and lipid content.

On the local scale, social acceptance depends on the needs and fears of the local community. Some of those fears – distrust and perception of CO2 as a waste – could be recognized as universal dilemmas connected with CCUS. Although as knowledge about CCUS increases, a significant change in attitude can be observed. This change does not mean an acceptance of that technology. It is rather a shift towards more benign forms of resistance – from NIMBY to WIMBY. The book presents actual mechanisms of social reaction to UGS and CCUS investment, which will be a valuable contribution to managing social change in the context of green transition. The issue of social acceptance of CCUS should be of interest to decision makers and practitioners who manage investment projects in the broadly understood green transformation on a daily basis, and also to postgraduate students, researchers, academics and lecturers in political studies, sociology or economics, and in engineering studies connected with energy transformation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003607151","authors":["Dariusz Wojakowski","Oluf Langhelle","Mateusz Stopa","Stanisław Nagy","Barbara Gąciarz","Thomas Michael Sattich"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-30T14:52:23Z","doi":"10.4324/9781003607151","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.755Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-658-39318-2_3","name":"Forschungsdesign und -methoden: Qualitative Fallstudie","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-39318-2_3","authors":["Annabarbara Friedrich"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-09-30T18:04:10Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-658-39318-2_3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.755Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/9781788012744-00189","name":"Chemical Looping Technologies for CCS","source":"crossref","abstract":"Chemical looping can be used in a variety of forms to enable the separation of carbon dioxide emissions in a pure form suitable for sequestration or re-use, principally from combustion, reforming or the production of hydrogen.

This project is a key component of Indonesia's climate strategy, focusing on capturing and safely storing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in subsurface geological formations. The offshore well is located in Southeast Sumatra, targeting the Asri Basin, which introduces unique challenges, particularly in well design, drilling operations, and environmental impact management. In designing a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) well, it is essential to ensure the long-term mechanical integrity of the wellbore and to implement effective barriers that prevent the upward migration of injected CO₂, thereby safeguarding overlying formations and groundwater resources (Duguid et al., 2018). This paper discusses the comprehensive process of designing the first appraisal CCS well in the area, including geological and geophysical assessments to identify suitable storage reservoirs, as well as the appraisal well design aimed at confirming the injection rate. Special attention is given to the drilling aspects, which are critical to ensuring the integrity of the well under offshore conditions and in a subsurface carbon-rich environment. Key factors such as wellbore stability, casing design, cement slurry design, the selection of drilling fluids tailored for CO₂ injection, and operational challenges during prolonged injection and completion are explored. The basis of the appraisal well design is to drill the well safely, identifying potential hazards based on studies and the history of offset wells. This paper also presents a feasibility study for the upcoming execution of the project in 2027. The results of the appraisal well will serve as a valuable reference for the future development of CO₂ injector wells.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/225793-ms","authors":["Mukhlis Taufik","Jufrihadi _","Rahman Agil Prawatya","Rahmat Sinaga"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-25T20:10:04Z","doi":"10.2118/225793-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.755Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2118/229101-ms","name":"Direct Carbon Capture and Utilisation Storage at Negative Cost (dccusnc): A Revolutionary Approach for Corrosion Control and Mitigation of Pollution in Energy Sector","source":"crossref","abstract":"ABSTRACT This paper presents a sustainable ecofriendly system which absorbs CO2, Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC), toxic gases and other pollutants from the air into chemical filters. The saturated material from these filters is used to produce \"Minerals Rich Organic Manure (MROM)\", which provides nutrients to trees and plants. The complete cycle of movement of environmental pollution and filter materials forms a Sustainable Eco System in which the trees and plants provide us the food and oxygen and whatever CO2, TVOC and other pollutants we generate on the planet earth, these are returned to the trees and plants in the form of nutrients so that these can again provide us more food and oxygen. Thus, this technology provides a very effective sustainable eco system of mutual survival of human beings and trees &amp; plants together in nature. The proposed system also utilizes the existing building ventilation system and eliminates the need of Air Changes Per Hour (ACH) in air conditioning systems by implementing direct carbon capture (DCC) from indoor air. This saves a considerable amount of energy which was earlier wasted due to excessive Air changes. Many air changes are now eliminated in this new approach. As per this approach, only one air change is good enough instead of about 4 to 12 air changes adopted earlier in such buildings. This technology has now been implemented at IOCL, Guwahati refinery in India and the results have been very encouraging. The peak design load of the air conditioning system is reduced by 25 to 30% by this technology and another 25 to 30% saving is achieved in power consumption in operation of systems designed with this technology. Thus, it results in Direct Carbon Capture at a Negative Cost. With this technology, any house, office or workplace can be converted into an \"Emergency Home/Shelter\", for safe stay during \"Button Up Period\" in case of any emergency or under a threat of a biological or chemical disaster or corona type pandemic. Thus, this indigenous technology proposed to be implemented with the spirit of \"Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam\" in the world, can reverse Global Warming and Climate Change in the entire World.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/229101-ms","authors":["Soumen Chakraborty"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-10T15:18:17Z","doi":"10.2118/229101-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.755Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4590320","name":"What Are the Likely Air Pollution Impacts of Carbon Capture and Storage?","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4590320","authors":["Andrew Waxman","HR Huber-Rodriguez","Sheila M.

The proposed system integrates state-of-the-art LLM architectures with domain-specific financial engineering principles to provide comprehensive technical-economic analysis that encompasses capital expenditure optimization, operational cost modeling, revenue stream quantification, and risk assessment across diverse CCS technologies including Direct Air Capture (DAC), point-source capture, and geological storage systems. Through extensive evaluation across 156 CCS projects representing $47.2 billion in total capital investment, our LLM framework demonstrates remarkable improvements in financial analysis accuracy by 34.7%, analysis time reduction of 78%, and risk assessment precision enhancement of 42.3% compared to traditional financial modeling approaches. The system successfully processes complex technical documentation including engineering specifications, environmental impact assessments, regulatory compliance reports, and market analysis data to generate detailed financial projections with confidence intervals and sensitivity analyses. Real-time market data integration enables dynamic updating of financial models based on evolving carbon credit prices, technology costs, and regulatory frameworks, with model recalibration completed within 2.7 hours compared to weeks required for manual analysis updates. The framework incorporates advanced uncertainty quantification through Monte Carlo simulation enhanced with LLM-generated scenario analysis, providing probabilistic financial projections that account for technology performance variations, market volatility, and regulatory changes. Automated report generation capabilities produce investment-grade financial documentation that satisfies due diligence requirements for institutional investors while providing interactive dashboards for real-time project monitoring and performance tracking.

To obtain mixed oxides, dolomite samples were prepared via calcination in a quartz cylindrical furnace under an ambient atmosphere at 900 °C, and subsequently thermally pre-treated under an inert (argon) stream at 650 °C. Characterization of the as-prepared samples involved morphological, structural, textural, and optical features examined through XRD, BET, SEM-EDS, FT-IR, and RAMAN, XPS, and UV-vis spectroscopy, whereas TGA and subsequent multicyclic tests were used to study the CO2 sorption. The dolomite sample calcined at 900 °C for 60 min, and after being activated under an inert atmosphere (argon), labeled PCD60Act, exhibited the highest CO2 uptake of 0.477 gCO2/gsorbent; after 15 sorption–regeneration cycles, it still retained a CO2 uptake of 0.38 gCO2/gsorbent at 650 °C, and it was also successfully regenerated at this moderate temperature, demonstrating 84% capture capacity retention. These remarkable results are explained by the crystalline defects generated during the thermal pre-treatments of the dolomite. This research offers valuable perspectives on the viability of employing thermally pre-treated dolomite as an inexpensive, thermally stable, and moderate-temperature regenerable CaO-based sorbent for applications in CO2 removal in the context of integrated carbon capture and conversion (ICCC) for the production of high-purity hydrogen.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/c11020037","authors":["Iyiade Gbolahan Alalade","Javier Eliel Morales-Mendoza","Alma Berenice Jasso–Salcedo","Jorge L.

In Bangladesh, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions have surged by 40% from 2000 to 2020, primarily from the power industry and process sector, making CO 2 the most significant contributor to the country's greenhouse gas inventory. One promising mitigation strategy is the integration of CO 2 sequestration with enhanced gas recovery (CO 2 -EGR-CCUS) in depleted gas reservoirs. This study presents a reservoir simulation-based investigation using CMG software to evaluate the dual objective of maximizing CO 2 storage and recovering residual methane. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis was also performed to assess the impact of well placement, injection rate, and injection pressure on CO 2 injectivity and methane recovery. Among the tested scenarios, staggered well placement with an injection rate of 47 MMSCF/D at 4700 psi yielded the highest gas recovery factor of 4.52%, recovering 1.3 BCF of methane from a depleted gas reservoir with a Gas Initially in Place of 28.8 BCF. The abandoned gas rate was 0.1 × 10⁶ SCF/day, and residual gas saturation was 0.1. The cumulative CO 2 injection reached 3.82 × 10 12 SCF, with 1.36 × 10 12 SCF securely stored under a fracture pressure limit of 6000 psi, as determined using the Pennebaker Correlation. Notably, the project demonstrates a CO 2 capture potential equivalent to 1.24% of Bangladesh’s total annual CO 2 emissions. Staggered well placement also achieved the highest sweep efficiency (12.27%), outperforming linear and five-spot patterns by 3.19% and 2.41%, respectively. These findings highlight the feasibility of combining CO 2 storage with enhanced methane recovery as a scalable and sustainable strategy for carbon management in Bangladesh.

CCUS technologies are vital for achieving significant emissions reductions, with post‐combustion carbon capture (PCC) emerging as a promising solution. However, high costs and energy penalties hinder its widespread adoption. Recent advancements in hybrid PCC configurations offer improved efficiency and cost reduction, necessitating comprehensive evaluations. This study investigates six feasible hybrid PCC configurations, integrating absorption, absorption, and membrane technologies, to identify the most viable option for CO2 capture from natural gas power plants (NGPPs). A rigorous techno‐economic evaluation is performed using Aspen Hysys design simulation and economic metrics, including investment costs, production costs, net present value, rate of return, levelized cost of electricity, carbon emission intensity, and cost of carbon avoidance. Dimensional analysis reveals the two‐stage membrane + absorbent hybrid (2S‐MB + AB) configuration as the most promising option. It demonstrates significant cost savings potential, with a 25% reduction in carbon capture costs. Sensitivity analyses highlight the critical role of optimal material selection, specifically membranes, and absorbents, in commercializing this technology. The findings contribute to developing efficient and cost‐effective CCUS solutions, aligning with global efforts to mitigate climate change. The recommended 2S‐MB + AB configuration offers a promising solution for reducing CO2 emissions from NGPPs, providing valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers. This research informs emissions regulations and incentives for CCUS adoption, guides investment decisions and technology development, and identifies further research and development areas.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ese3.2052","authors":["Donald Obi","Samuel Okechukwu Onyekuru","Anslem Orga"],"tags":["Combustion","Carbon fibers","Power (physics)","Computer science","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ese3.2052","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z"},{"id":"oa:W4392714302","name":"Carbon-neutral pathway to mitigating transport-power grid cross-sector effects","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.xinn.2024.100611","authors":["Jing Ma","Huiwen Kong","Jianxiao Wang","Haiwang Zhong","Bo Li","Jie Song","Daniel M.

Within this tangled interplay between these comorbidities and associated pathological conditions, obesity has been closely linked to important perturbations in iron metabolism. Iron is the second most abundant metal on Earth, but its bioavailability is hampered by its ability to form highly insoluble oxides, with iron deficiency being the most common nutritional disorder. Although every living organism requires iron, it may also cause toxic oxygen damage by generating oxygen free radicals through the Fenton reaction. Thus, iron homeostasis and metabolism must be tightly regulated in humans at every level (i.e., absorption, storage, transport, recycling).

Gas power production will also benefit from such a policy. Subsidising carbon capture and storage (CCS) will significantly accelerate the use of this technology. Nevertheless, total production of coal and gas power (with or without CCS) is only marginally increased, as the subsidy mainly leads to installation of CCS equipment on existing plants, reducing the efficiency from these plants. Consequently, electricity prices are almost unchanged, and the substantial growth in renewable power production is hardly affected by the subsidies to CCS.","url":"https://openalex.org/W116547632","authors":["Finn Roar Aune","Gang Liu","Knut Einar Rosendahl","Eirik Lund Sagen"],"tags":["Subsidy","Renewable energy","Production (economics)","Natural resource economics","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2009-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z"},{"id":"oa:W4293740024","name":"Building the green hydrogen market – Current state and outlook on green hydrogen demand and electrolyzer manufacturing","source":"openalex","abstract":"Over the past two years, requirements to meet climate targets have been intensified.

This study aims to develop an advanced technique to produce high-fidelity (1 km) maps of CO 2 and CH 4 over the Arabian Peninsula, a highly vulnerable region to climate change. Using XGBoost, columnar carbon dioxide (XCO 2 ) and methane (XCH 4 ) concentrations using satellite data from OCO-2 and Sentinel-5P (the target variables) were downscaled, with ancillary data from CarbonTracker, MODIS Terra, and ERA-5 (the input variables). The model is trained and validated against these datasets, achieving high performance for XCO 2 (R 2 = 0.98, RMSE = 0.58 ppm) and moderate accuracy for XCH 4 (R 2 = 0.63, RMSE = 13.26 ppb). Seasonal cycles and long-term trends were identified, with higher concentrations observed in summer, and emission hotspots in urban and industrial areas. Comparisons with the EDGAR inventory highlighted the significant contributions of the power, oil, and transportation sectors to GHG emissions. These results demonstrate the value of high-resolution data for local-scale monitoring, supporting targeted mitigation strategies and sustainable policymaking in the region.

Therefore, the question of sources of flexibility to support a fully decarbonised European energy system is becoming even more critical in light of a renewable-dominated energy system. We developed and used a Pan-European energy system model to systematically assess and quantify sources of flexibility to meet deep decarbonisation targets. The electricity supply sector and electricity-based end-use technologies are crucial in achieving deep decarbonisation. Other low-carbon energy sources like biomethane, hydrogen, synthetic e-fuels, and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage will also play a role. To support a fully decarbonised European energy system by 2050, both temporal and spatial flexibility will be needed. Spatial flexibility, achieved through investments in national electricity networks and cross-border interconnections, is crucial to support the aggressive roll-out of variable renewable energy sources. Cross-border trade in electricity is expected to increase, and in deep decarbonisation scenarios, the electricity transmission capacity will be larger than that of natural gas. Hydrogen storage and green hydrogen production will play a key role in providing traditional inter-seasonal flexibility, and intraday flexibility will be provided by a combination of electrical energy storage, hydrogen-based storage solutions (e.g., liquid H2 and pressurised storage), and hybrid heat pumps. Hydrogen networks and storage will become more critical as we move towards the highest decarbonisation scenario.

A probabilistic economic and environmental assessment of electricity and electrofuels for heavy goods vehicles","source":"openalex","abstract":"Uncertainty surrounding the total cost of ownership, system costs, and life cycle environmental impacts means that stakeholders may lack the required information to evaluate the risks of transitioning to low-carbon fuels and powertrains. This paper assesses the life cycle costs and well-to-wheel environmental impacts of using electricity and electrofuels in Heavy Good Vehicles (HGVs) whilst considering input parameter uncertainty. The complex relationship between electricity cost, electrolyser capacity factor, CO2 capture cost and electricity emissions intensity is assessed within a Monte Carlo based framework to identify scenarios where use of electricity or electrofuels in heavy goods vehicles makes economic and environmental sense. For vehicles with a range of less than 450 km, battery electric vehicles achieve the lowest total cost of ownership for an electricity cost less than 100 €/MWh. For vehicles that require a range of up to 900 km, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles represent the lowest long-term cost of abatement. Power-to-methane and power-to-liquid scenarios become economically competitive when low-cost electricity is available at high-capacity factors and CO2 capture costs for fuel synthesis are below 100 €/tCO2; these fuels may be more applicable to decarbonise shipping and aviation. Battery electric HGVs reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% compared to the diesel baseline with electricity emissions of 350 gCO2e/kWh. Electricity emissions less than 35 gCO2e/kWh are required for the power-to-methane and power-to-liquid scenarios to meet EU emissions savings criteria. High vehicle capital costs and a lack of widespread refuelling infrastructure may hinder initial uptake of low-carbon fuels and powertrains for HGVs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.adapen.2022.100110","authors":["Nathan Gray","Richard O’Shea","David Wall","Beatrice Smyth","Piet N.L.

However, estimates of both past and future development of waste and pollution are scarce. We apply compositional Bayesian regression to produce the first estimates of past and future (1965–2100) waste generation disaggregated by composition and treatment, along with resultant environmental impacts, for every country. We find that total wastes grow at declining speed with economic development, and that global waste generation has increased from 635 Mt in 1965 to 1999 Mt in 2015 and reaches 3539 Mt by 2050 (median values, middle-of-the-road scenario). From 2015 to 2050, the global share of organic waste declines from 47% to 39%, while all other waste type shares increase, especially paper. The share of waste treated in dumps declines from 28% to 18%, and more sustainable recycling, composting, and energy recovery treatments increase. Despite these increases, we estimate environmental loads to continue increasing in the future, although yearly plastic waste input into the oceans has reached a peak. Waste production does not appear to follow the environmental Kuznets curve, and current projections do not meet UN SDGs for waste reduction. Our study shows that a continuation of current trends and improvements is insufficient to reduce pressures on natural systems and achieve a circular economy.

The generation and migration of coal fines causes blockages in the fractures in the stage of drainage and gas production, reducing the gas channeling effect of injected CO 2 caused by the heterogeneity of the coal seam. To explore the impact of coal fines within coal seam fractures on the efficacy of CO 2 storage, experiments on the production stage and CO 2 injection for storage were conducted on coal combinations containing propped fractures, fractures, and matrix. The CO 2 storage characteristics of coal at the constraint of coal fines, as well as the influence of multiple rounds of intermittent CO 2 injection and different injection parameters on the CO 2 storage effect, were analyzed. The research results show that blockage by coal fines increases the resistance to fluid flow in the fractures by 71.2%. The CO 2 storage capacity and storage potential of coal with coal fines are 6.5 cm 3 /g and 8.8% higher than those of coal without coal fines, while the CO 2 storage capacity of fractured coal under the influence of coal fines has the largest increase of 9.4 cm 3 /g. The CO 2 storage of coal containing coal fines is significantly higher (6.6%) than that of the coal without coal fines. The CO 2 storage effect of the coal with coal fines is improved with the increase in injection rate, whereas the CO 2 storage effect of the coal without coal fines decreases significantly (by 7.8%). Multiple rounds of intermittent injection increases the CO 2 storage volume of coal by 20.4% (with coal fines) and 17.1% (without coal fines). The presence of coal fines in fractures also slows down the downward trend of CO 2 storage fraction after multiple rounds of CO 2 injection. The blockage in fractures significantly increases the CO 2 injection time and difficulty, but can increase the CO 2 storage fraction by 4.7%–17.1%, and the storage volume by 1.9%–14%, increasing the feasibility of CO 2 storage in fractured coal seams that have previously been exploited for methane production.

Therefore, this study developed a methodology for the design of the hybrid system and demonstrated the feasibility of operating the system in a nitrogen gas stream. Application of the system for carbon dioxide capture and storage was also explored. Machine learning models were developed for binary and multi-component gas mixtures using Python programming language. The findings of the study revealed that the error in quantification of gas concentrations for the binary gas mixture is less than the errors for the multi-component gas mixtures, using machine learning models.

This stands as one of the largest CCUS projects in the world, since the CO2 originally dissolved in the oil is reinjected as an Enhanced Oil Recovery method. The infrastructure already placed in the Pre-salt, the characteristics of the reservoirs, the continuous technological advances and the acquired experience, allow us to glimpse a future scenario in which current CCUS operations will open opportunities for strict CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) projects disposing of anthropogenic CO2. This paper aims to discuss the long-term perspectives for CCS projects in Brazil taking as a case study a hypothetical Pre-salt field, inspired on a real one, resulting in a preliminary estimate of CO2 storage capacity. The text encompasses an overview of the CO2 sources in Brazil, a review of the main mechanisms of CO2 entrapment in porous media and a summary of the technical requirements for proper injection and permanent CO2 underground storage. Sound reasons may justify the future exhausted/depleted Pre-salt fields as a scenario for CCS projects: reservoirs with large storage and sealing capacity, good injectivity, presence of infrastructure of wells and pipelines (production units will probably need to be replaced in the long term), among others. We propose a workflow, based on material balance, to reach a preliminary estimate of the CO2 mass that could be stored in the field case study. The adopted procedure uses publicly available data and assumes parameters for total reservoir compressibility, reservoir pressure and CO2 water solubility in formation brine. The exercise carried out for the case study, admitting the field at the end of its producing stage, pointed to a CO2 storage capacity of around 26 million tons trapped under the mechanisms of structural imprisonment in porous medium and dissolution of CO2 in brine.

In this review, we analyze the co-occurrence of multiple ecosystem services studied alongside carbon sequestration and highlight the need for a more comprehensive approach to mangrove ecosystem management. A search yielded 813 relevant studies, with 423 of which were further analyzed. Only about 22% of studies investigated more than one service, providing limited insight into the relationships between multiple ecosystem services. The most studied ecosystem services with carbon sequestration were regulating services, namely nutrient cycling followed by soil formation and coastal protection. Provisioning services such as fishing and biomass, and cultural services such as recreation were also studied but less. Also, stakeholder engagement remains minimal, with only 5% of studies incorporating perspectives from local communities, policymakers, or other relevant groups. Given the expected expansion of mangrove ecosystems due to climate change, it is crucial to consider both ecological and social dimensions when developing management strategies. We propose a socio-ecological framework to integrate other ecosystem services alongside carbon sequestration. By broadening the scope of mangrove ecosystem studies, we can promote more inclusive, effective, and sustainable management approaches that benefit both nature and society.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11852-025-01148-4","authors":["Heera Lee","Hyejin Kim","Eunha Park","Bora Lee"],"tags":["Ecosystem services","Carbon sequestration","Mangrove","Ecosystem","Environmental resource management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11852-025-01148-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406056201","name":"Optimal Scheduling Method of Combined Wind–Photovoltaic–Pumped Storage System Based on Improved Bat Algorithm","source":"openalex","abstract":"Pumped storage power stations not only serve as a special power load but also store excess electricity from the power system, significantly reducing the curtailment of wind and solar power. This dual function ensures the stable operation of the power grid and enhances its economic benefits. The scheduling optimization problem of a combined wind–solar–pumped storage system is addressed in this study, and an optimization scheduling model is proposed with the objective of maximizing total system revenue. The model is designed to comprehensively account for the generation revenues from wind power, photovoltaic power, thermal power, and pumped storage, as well as the penalty costs associated with pollutant emissions. To address the limitations of traditional algorithms, which are prone to being trapped in local optima and exhibit slow convergence, an improved bat algorithm was developed. The algorithm is enhanced through the use of chaotic mapping to expand the initial solution space, the incorporation of adaptive step-size updates to improve convergence efficiency, and the integration of the Cauchy function to strengthen global search capabilities, thereby effectively avoiding local optima. Simulation results have demonstrated that the improved algorithm achieves significant improvements over traditional bat algorithms and particle swarm optimization (PSO) in terms of optimization efficiency, with total revenue increases of 21.9% and 24.6%, respectively. The optimized scheduling plan is shown to fully utilize the flexible regulation capabilities of pumped storage, mitigating the adverse effects of wind and photovoltaic output fluctuations on grid operations and achieving a balanced trade-off between economic and environmental objectives.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr13010101","authors":["Huiqing Fan","WU Hong-bo","Shilin Li","Shengfeng Han","Jingtao Ren","Shuo Huang","Hongbo Zou"],"tags":["Photovoltaic system","Particle swarm optimization","Mathematical optimization","Computer science","Local optimum"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr13010101","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410731200","name":"3D seismic modeling of the Amal oil field to evaluate CO2 storage potential in depleted reservoirs, Southern Gulf of Suez","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract The Amal Oil Field in the Southern Gulf of Suez presents significant potential for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). This study integrates 3D geological modeling, seismic interpretation, and petrophysical analysis to assess the field’s suitability for CO2 sequestration. The structural analysis identifies a primary horst block bounded by major normal faults, providing an effective structural trap for CO2 storage. Stratigraphic studies confirm the presence of robust sealing formations, including the Kareem shale and the evaporite-dominated Zeit and South Gharib Formations, ensuring long-term containment. Petrophysical evaluation of the Upper Rudies reservoir reveals favorable conditions for CO2 injection, characterized by low shale volume, moderately high effective porosity, low water saturation, and adequate permeability. Reservoir property modeling, conducted using sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS), a statistical method used to distribute reservoir properties, such as porosity and permeability, throughout the reservoir by generating multiple possible scenarios based on a Gaussian distribution model, demonstrates significant lateral and vertical heterogeneity, with the central horst block exhibiting the highest storage potential. Permeability distribution varies from 0.1 to 100 mD, with an average of 10 mD in key reservoir zones, further supporting its suitability for CO2 injection. CO2 storage capacity estimation, incorporating grid pore volumes, CO2 density, formation volume factor, and storage efficiency coefficient, suggests a storage potential ranging from 3.6 to 48.5 million tons. Spatial analysis highlights the central and northwestern regions as the most promising areas for injection due to higher porosity and net pay thickness. The Gulf of Suez boasts a unique geological setting, providing excellent structural traps for hydrocarbon and CO2 storage. Its well-developed infrastructure, including extensive pipelines, processing facilities, and existing wells, supports efficient CO2 transportation and injection, enhancing the feasibility of large-scale CO2 storage with minimal additional investment. The region’s strategic location also enhances its role in global trade and energy logistics. This study provides a comprehensive workflow for evaluating depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs for CCS applications, offering valuable insights for future CO2 sequestration projects in the Gulf of Suez, a region underexplored in CCS literature.

In addition, installing PV plants on commercial buildings’ roofs is becoming increasingly important, especially in crowded cities where land is limited. Since the Sun is an intermittent energy source, PV power plants cause frequency and voltage fluctuations in the grid. The way to avoid this problem is to install PV plants together with battery storage systems. Battery storage systems prevent frequency and voltage fluctuations in the grid and provide economic benefits. This article presents the sizing and techno-economic analysis of a factory building’s rooftop PV system with a battery. The amount of energy produced by the PV plant, PV temperature, and irradiation were recorded in a data logger obtained by various sensors. These real-time measurements were continuously collected and analyzed to evaluate system performance and assess seasonal variations.Load demand data were collected through an automatic meter reading system. The installed capacity of the PV power plant is 645 kW. The optimum battery capacity determined for this factory is 130 kW for 5 h. Techno-economic analysis was carried out using metrics such as the payback period, net present value, and levelized cost of energy.

Unfortunately the scope of these early studies was limited by the small differences in the concentrations of natural 14C in the geochemical carbon cycle. In recent years, however, the dispersion of artificial 14C, introduced into the atmosphere during nuclear weapons tests, has presented a unique opportunity for detailed studies of carbon transport. Further importance was attached to these investigations since artificial C constitutes a potential health hazard to mankind. In this research temporal variations in the distribution of artificial 'bomb' 14C in the atmosphere and biosphere have been studied through analysis of atmospheric CO2, food chain, and human tissue samples. The data have been used in an examination of the pathways for CO2 transport in the atmosphere and the rates at which CO2 is transferred to the biosphere and oceans. The temporal variations in the concentration of 14CO2 in air suggest that diffusion processes are predominant in atmospheric transport, particularly in the stratosphere. The mixing time for 14CO2 throughout the atmosphere is comparable with the mean life of a CO2 molecule in the atmosphere before transfer to the ocean viz., 10 to 15 years. During the past decade the concentrations of 14C in man have shown significant differences from those in the contemporary atmosphere. This is best explained by the finite times required for the passage of 14C through the food chain and the selective nature of the human diet. The results of this study suggest that approximately 100 years will pass before the present inventory of artificial C becomes uniformly distributed throughout the dynamic carbon cycle. Due to the release of 14C-free CO2 by the combustion of fossil fuels (the Suess effect) it seems likely, however, that 14C concentrations in the atmosphere and biosphere will attain pre-bomb levels by the end of this century.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5525/gla.thesis.78539","authors":["Douglas D.

This work critically assessed the potential of waste as a source of hydrogen production via various thermochemical (gasification and pyrolysis) and biochemical (fermentation and photolysis) processes. Research has shown hydrogen production yields of 33.6 mol/kg and hydrogen concentrations of 82% from mixed waste feedstock gasification.

Factors including feedstock quality, process requirements and technology availability were reviewed to guide technology selection and system design. Current technology status and bottlenecks were discussed to shape future development priorities. These bottlenecks include expensive production and operation processes, heterogeneous feedstock, low process efficiencies, inadequate management and logistics, and lack of policy support. Improvements to hydrogen yields and production rates are related to feedstock processing and advanced energy efficiency processes such as torrefaction of feedstock which has shown thermal efficiency of gasification up to 4 MJ/kg.

To project future climate conditions for the period 2041–2070, two climate models, namely MPI-ESM1.2 and CNRMCM5.1, were used under two representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). The study examined the historical and projected feasibility of aeration in six natural regions located in northwestern Tunisia, where wheat is the main crop, and investigated the potential consequences of climate change on the dynamics of R. dominica. Using a heat and mass transfer model in an unaerated wheat silo, the temperature and moisture distributions in the grain mass were used to predict the development, reproduction, and survival of R. dominica. The results revealed a decline in favorable aeration hours due to climate change, resulting in an average reduction of 25% across the six regions. This reduction in aerated hours could significantly affect the effectiveness of aeration as a means of pest control. The mean difference comparisons, based on Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test, revealed a significant effect of climate change on the developmental parameters of R. dominica for the period 2041–2070 compared to the period 1970–1997. According to the insect dynamic model, future climate scenarios are expected to induce changes in the development duration, reproduction, and survival rates of R. dominica. The model predicts a (i) 10–15% extension in the development duration, (ii) 20–30% decrease in reproduction, and (iii) 5–10% decrease in survival relative to the historical period. These results underscore the critical importance of implementing adaptive pest management strategies for stored wheat.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy13071773","authors":["Mohamed Nejib El Melki","Jameel M.

For this reason, adopting environmental metrics such as Ecological Footprint or carbon footprint becomes imperative. As carbon footprint assessments evolve, there remains a critical challenge in the availability of data representing lifestyles of inhabitants. Therefore, this research refers to the question What is the effect of utilizing currently available data to describe the current impact of cities and their inhabitants on the environment ? The research focuses on foodprint assessment across multiple resource scales: national, city-wide, regional, urban-size (more local-level structural data), and urban-regional. Therefore, five individual CF results for each of the 18 Polish cities were obtained, followed by a one-to-one comparison, offering ten comparisons of results, that is, each with each. On average, the differences in total CF results for different levels of data detail are at most ±3.5 %. Of interest seems to be the impact of regional conditions on the values of the footprint, especially the quantified urban-regional results. Differences in this scale of data, relative to other results, are associated with an increase in the foodprint from 0.001 to 0.003 global hectares per capita. It could be especially important for cities having the largest population. Even though on average for 200–499 K urban-size cities the results were the highest compared to the national ones (higher by 0.004 global hectares), it was for cities with over 500 000 inhabitants that the largest differences were observed at the level of individual products. In general, variations of ±20 % in results were registered for products such as poultry, cheese, vegetable fats, sugar, and potatoes. The findings reveal that for cities with populations under 200,000, the reliance on high-resolution local data provides limited additional accuracy, suggesting that national or regional datasets are often sufficient. This insight can optimize resource allocation for evidence-based policymaking, particularly in the context of urban adaptation plans and climate action strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2025.113256","authors":["Małgorzata Świąder","Luke John Schafer","Marin Lysák","Christian Bugge Henriksen"],"tags":["Carbon footprint","Carbon accounting","Carbon fibers","Affect (linguistics)","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2025.113256","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411339481","name":"Enabling Low-Carbon Transportation: Resilient Energy Governance via Intelligent VPP and Mobile Energy Storage-Driven V2G Solutions","source":"openalex","abstract":"Integrating Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations into buildings is becoming increasingly important due to the rapid growth of private EV ownership and prolonged parking durations in residential areas.

The proposed system promotes eco-friendly EV usage, flexible energy management, and carbon neutrality through a polyfunctional Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) architecture that integrates decentralized energy networks. Two core strategies are implemented: (1) configuring Virtual Power Plant (VPP)-based charging packages tailored to station types, and (2) utilizing EV batteries as distributed ESS units. K-means clustering based on spatial proximity and energy demand is followed by heuristic algorithms to improve the efficiency of mobile ESS operation. A three-layer framework is used to assess improvements in energy demand distribution, with demand-oriented VPPs deployed in high-demand zones to maximize ESS utilization. This approach enhances station stability, increases the load factor to 132.7%, and reduces emissions by 271.5 kgCO2.

However, poor efficiency at low overpotentials and unclear reaction mechanisms limit the application of M‐N‐C catalysts. In this study, Fe‐N‐C catalysts are developed by incorporating S atoms onto ordered hierarchical porous carbon substrates with a molecular iron thiophenoporphyrin. The well‐prepared FeSNC catalyst exhibits superior CO2RR activity and stability, attributes to an optimized electronic environment, and enhances the adsorption of reaction intermediates. It displays the highest CO selectivity of 94.0% at −0.58 V (versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)) and achieves the highest partial current density of 13.64 mA cm−2 at −0.88 V. Furthermore, when employed as the cathode in a Zn‐CO2 battery, FeSNC achieves a high‐power density of 1.19 mW cm−2 and stable charge–discharge cycles. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the incorporation of S atoms into the hierarchical porous carbon substrate led to the iron center becoming more electron‐rich, consequently improving the adsorption of the crucial reaction intermediate *COOH.

In this work, laboratory measurements, density functional theory calculations, and molecular dynamics simulations were employed to study CO2 adsorption and diffusion behavior in LTA-type zeolites. The CO2 adsorption isotherms measured in zeolite 5A are best described by the Toth model. Thermodynamic analysis indicates that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic, with an enthalpy change of −44.04 kJ/mol, an entropy change of −115.23 J/(mol·K), and Gibbs free energy values ranging from −9.68 to −1.03 kJ/mol over the temperature range of 298–373 K. The isosteric heat of CO2 adsorption decreases from 40.35 to 21.75 kJ/mol with increasing coverage, reflecting heterogeneous interactions at Ca2+ and Na+ sites. The adsorption kinetics follow a pseudo-first-order model, with an activation energy of 2.24 kJ/mol, confirming a physisorption mechanism. The intraparticle diffusion model indicates that internal diffusion is the rate-limiting step, supported by a significant reduction in the diffusion rate. The DFT calculations demonstrated that CO2 exhibited a −35 kJ/mol more negative adsorption energy in zeolite 5A than in zeolite ITQ-29, attributable to strong interactions with Ca2+/Na+ cations in 5A that were absent in the pure silica ITQ-29 framework. The molecular dynamics simulations based on molecular force fields indicate that CO2 diffuses more rapidly in ITQ-29, with a diffusion coefficient measuring 2.54 × 10−9 m2/s at 298 K, whereas it was 1.02 × 10−9 m2/s in zeolite 5A under identical conditions. The activation energy for molecular diffusion reaches 5.54 kJ/mol in zeolite 5A, exceeding the 4.12 kJ/mol value in ITQ-29 by 33%, which accounts for the slower diffusion kinetics in zeolite 5A. There is good agreement between experimental measurements and molecular simulation results for zeolite 5A across the studied temperature and pressure ranges. This confirms the accuracy and reliability of the selected simulation parameters and allows for the study of zeolite ITQ under similar simulation conditions. This research provides insights into CO2 adsorption energetics and diffusion within LTA-type zeolite frameworks, supporting the rational design of high-performance adsorbents for industrial gas separation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/nano15141077","authors":["Magdy Abdelghany Elsayed","Shixue Zhou","Xiaohui Zhao","Gumawa Windu Manggada","Zhongyuan Chen","Fang Wang","Zhijuan Tang"],"tags":["Adsorption","Chemistry","Thermodynamics","Enthalpy","Diffusion"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/nano15141077","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406464804","name":"From Policy to Practice: Assessing Carbon Storage in Fujian Province Using Patch-Generating Land Use Simulation and Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs Models","source":"openalex","abstract":"Simulating and predicting carbon storage under different development scenarios is crucial for formulating effective carbon management strategies and achieving carbon neutrality goals.

Using the PLUS (Patch-generating Land Use Simulation) and InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs) models, the study simulated and predicted the carbon storage dynamics under each scenario. The results show that carbon storage declined from 1995 to 2020, mainly due to the conversion of forests and agricultural land into construction areas. The ecological protection scenario demonstrated the highest potential for carbon storage recovery, projecting an increase to 2.02 billion tons by 2030, driven by afforestation and conservation initiatives. Conversely, the urban development scenario posed the greatest risks, leading to substantial losses. Key conservation areas, including 12 priority districts, were identified in the western and northwestern regions, while coastal urban areas, comprising 31 vulnerable districts, face significant carbon storage losses.

Meanwhile, expanding energy storage systems show diminishing returns, with added capacity offering minimal gains in hydrogen production and raising economic concerns.

Surplus energy export to the grid peaks at 3300 kWh during periods of high solar generation but is minimal otherwise. For economic and operational viability, the system design must prioritize directing a majority of PV energy to hydrogen production while minimizing grid export, requiring a minimum of 50% PV energy allocation to the hydrogen value chain. Cost analysis estimates a Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) as low as €6/kg with an optimized configuration of a 2 MW electrolyzer and 2 MWh battery.

Traditional water management strategies are insufficient, highlighting the urgent need for innovative solutions. This uniquely combined Additional Storage Support Mechanisms (ASSM) with Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) to provide decentralized, climate-resilient water solutions. It considers diverting attention away from conventional centralized systems towards a nature-driven, multi-scale storage approach that maximizes groundwater recharge, flood mitigation, and agricultural sustainability. Studies indicate that ASSM and RWH structures, such as subsurface dams, rooftop infiltration, and groundwater tanks can potentially decrease flood volume by a notable percentage, increase water storage up to 273 days, and increase aquifer recharge. The methods provide low-cost, scalable options to water-scarce areas, enhancing climate change resilience and adding to Sustainable Development Goal 6 on the provision of clean water.

The design of highly efficient photocatalysts with precise selectivity and reliable long‐term stability is still a big challenge, partially because the mechanism of photocatalytic CO2 reduction to guide the design and fabrication, is not completely clear yet. The reduction can involve at most eight electrons for each CO2 molecule, during which several pathways might be opened up at the active sites to consume photocarriers to influence the selectivity and stability. The reduction pathways are dependent on the electronic structure and property of active sites, and the photocatalytic performance can be optimized if those pathways are thermodynamically or kinetically compatible for the target production.

Future trends in air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for China are of great concern to the community. A set of global scenarios regarding future socio-economic and climate developments, combining shared socio-economic pathways (SSPs) with climate forcing outcomes as described by the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), was created by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Chinese researchers have also developed various emission scenarios by considering detailed local environmental and climate policies. However, a comprehensive scenario set connecting SSP–RCP scenarios with local policies and representing dynamic emission changes under local policies is still missing. In this work, to fill this gap, we developed a dynamic projection model, the Dynamic Projection model for Emissions in China (DPEC), to explore China's future anthropogenic emission pathways. The DPEC is designed to integrate the energy system model, emission inventory model, dynamic projection model, and parameterized scheme of Chinese policies. The model contains two main modules, an energy-model-driven activity rate projection module and a sector-based emission projection module. The activity rate projection module provides the standardized and unified future energy scenarios after reorganizing and refining the outputs from the energy system model. Here we use a new China-focused version of the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM-China) to project future energy demand and supply in China under different SSP–RCP scenarios at the provincial level. The emission projection module links a bottom-up emission inventory model, the Multi-resolution Emission Inventory for China (MEIC), to GCAM-China and accurately tracks the evolution of future combustion and production technologies and control measures under different environmental policies. We developed technology-based turnover models for several key emitting sectors (e.g. coal-fired power plants, key industries, and on-road transportation sectors), which can simulate the dynamic changes in the unit/vehicle fleet turnover process by tracking the lifespan of each unit/vehicle on an annual basis. With the integrated modelling framework, we connected five SSP scenarios (SSP1–5), five RCP scenarios (RCP8.5, 7.0, 6.0, 4.5, and 2.6), and three pollution control scenarios (business as usual, BAU; enhanced control policy, ECP; and best health effect, BHE) to produce six combined emission scenarios. With those scenarios, we presented a wide range of China's future emissions to 2050 under different development and policy pathways. We found that, with a combination of strong low-carbon policy and air pollution control policy (i.e. SSP1-26-BHE scenario), emissions of major air pollutants (i.e. SO2, NOx, PM2.5, and non-methane volatile organic compounds – NMVOCs) in China will be reduced by 34 %–66 % in 2030 and 58 %–87 % in 2050 compared to 2015. End-of-pipe control measures are more effective for reducing air pollutant emissions before 2030, while low-carbon policy will play a more important role in continuous emission reduction until 2050. In contrast, China's emissions will remain at a high level until 2050 under a reference scenario without active actions (i.e. SSP3-70-BAU). Compared to similar scenarios set from the CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6), our estimates of emission ranges are much lower than the estimates from the harmonized CMIP6 emissions dataset in 2020–2030, but their emission ranges become similar in the year 2050.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-20-5729-2020","authors":["Dan Tong","Jing Cheng","Yang Liu","Sha Yu","Liu Yan","Chaopeng Hong","Yu Qin","Hongyan Zhao","Yixuan Zheng","Guannan Geng","Meng Li","Fei Liu","Yuxuan Zhang","Bo Zheng","Leon J.

In the absence of carbon capture and storage (CCS) the national useable capacity of CPUs will increase slightly, mainly due to an increase in water availability for power plants in northern China under all climate scenarios except RCP8.5. However, CCS systems have been identified as essential in China's national roadmap for carbon neutrality and their use represents high water requirements. The addition of CCS significantly exacerbates water vulnerability, leading to further useable-capacity reductions of 7.4–7.7%.

Recently, SOC also became an indicator for monitoring climate change mitigation policies in the agricultural sector. The availability of up-to-date SOC inventories is thus crucial in terms of supporting SOC–related actions at country or sub-country scales. Currently, the National Monitoring System of the Agricultural Soils of Slovakia (CMS-P), whose network of 318 monitoring sites was last surveyed in 2018, is the only available source of up-to-date topsoil SOC data for agricultural land in Slovakia. Although very useful at the national scale, the number of CMS-P observations it contains is too limited for much needed sub-national SOC inventories. We hypothesized that with the aid of well-chosen macro-scale drivers of topsoil SOC accumulation in agricultural land in Slovakia, and by mapping those drivers geographically, we could upscale the CMS-P observations and produce a regional estimate of topsoil SOC. Altitude, land cover, topsoil texture, and soil type were assumed to be the key factors controlling topsoil SOC accumulation in Slovakia, and based on these, the country was classified into 14 macro-scale geographical regions. Typical ranges and mid-class values of 0–30 cm topsoil SOC concentrations (%) and stocks (t ha−1) were calculated for each macro-scale region from CMS-P data. The average topsoil SOC content in agricultural land was estimated to be 2.13% (72.9 t ha−1). The highest topsoil SOC stock (> 90 t ha−1) was estimated for the lowlands of Slovakia, and the lowest (< 50 t ha−1) for the shallow and stony soils of mountain regions. When aggregated to 78 administrative regions at LAU1 level, the area-weighted averages ranged between 39.20 t ha−1 and 80.0 t ha−1, with the highest values (> 65 t ha−1) being in LAU1 regions in the south-west, south-east, and north of Slovakia where arable land is most prevalent. Total SOC storage in 0–30 cm topsoil of agricultural land in Slovakia was estimated at 118.39 Mt, with two-thirds of this amount stored in arable soils in 33 south-west, south-east, and south LAU1 administrative regions. As there is no alternative and up-to-date dataset on topsoil SOC content in Slovakia, the upscaling algorithm presented in this study is an important step toward utilizing CMS-P data for sub-national SOC inventories. It may also offer a new way of providing inputs to help predict future or alternative regional topsoil SOC accumulation trajectories in Slovakian agricultural land using process-based or statistical models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envc.2023.100816","authors":["Rastislav Skalský","Gabriela Barančíková","Jarmila Makovníková","Štefan Koco","Ján Halas","Jozef Kobža"],"tags":["Topsoil","Environmental science","Soil carbon","Soil water","Land use"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-12","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envc.2023.100816","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z"},{"id":"oa:W4318477573","name":"Research on Cement Demand Forecast and Low Carbon Development Strategy in Shandong Province","source":"openalex","abstract":"The dual carbon targets and environmental quality constraints have released a clear transition signal for the green and low-carbon development of the cement industry.

Techno-economic modelling and socio-technical transition studies are combined to explore the conditions, opportunities and barriers to decarbonising the maritime shipping industry. A set of scenarios have been developed considering demand assumptions and potential instruments such as carbon price, energy tax, and blending mandate. The study finds that there are opportunities for decarbonising the maritime shipping industry by using renewable marine fuels such as advanced biofuels (e.g., biomethanol), electrofuels (e.g., e-methanol) and hydrogen. Sweden has tremendous resource potential for bio-based and hydrogen-based renewable liquid fuel production. In the evaluated system boundary, biomethanol presents the cheapest technology option while e-ammonia is the most expensive one. Green electricity plays an important role in the decarbonisation of the maritime sector. The results of the supply chain optimisation identify the location sites and technology in Sweden as well as the trade flows to bring the fuels to where the bunker facilities are potentially located. Biomethanol and hydrogen-based marine fuels are cost-effective at a carbon price beyond 100 €/tCO2 and 200 €/tCO2 respectively. Linking back to the socio-technical transition pathways, the study finds that some shipping companies are in the process of transitioning towards using renewable marine fuels, thereby enabling niche innovations to break through the carbon lock-in and eventually alter the socio-technical regime, while other shipping companies are more resistant.

Here, we use the results of participatory scenario development in Tanzania to assess the potential interacting impacts on carbon stock, biodiversity and water yield of alternative scenarios where REDD+ is or is not effectively implemented by 2025, a green economy (GE) scenario and a business as usual (BAU) scenario, respectively. Under the BAU scenario, LULCCs will cause 296 million tonnes of carbon (MtC) national stock loss by 2025, reduce the extent of suitable habitats for endemic and rare species (mainly in encroached protected mountain forests) and change water yields. In the GE scenario, national stock loss decreases to 133 MtC. In this scenario, consistent LULCC impacts occur within small forest patches with high carbon density, water catchment capacity and biodiversity richness. Opportunities for maximizing carbon emission reductions nationally are largely related to sustainable woodland management, but also contain trade-offs with biodiversity conservation and changes in water availability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1017/s0376892918000255","authors":["Claudia Capitani","Arnout van Soesbergen","Kusaga Mukama","Isaac Malugu","Boniface Mbilinyi","Nurdin Chamuya","Bas Kempen","R.

The turning of FW into biogas via anaerobic fermentation is widely recognized as an environmentally responsible and economically reasonable option. Based on the knowledge obtained from agricultural biogas stations, the current methods of FW fermentation management are based on balancing the ratio of total carbon and nitrogen. However, it was repeatedly and independently reported that the stability of this process is low, resulting in many concessions in terms of prolonged hydraulic retention time or reduced biogas yield. Hence, biochemical as well as economic performance of the process is balanced by mixing of FW with agricultural residues. FW samples of various origin were collected and biochemically analyzed. The data indicate that FW originating from homes and luxury restaurants tends to be lignocellulose-based, whereas the levels of crude fiber (25% up to 27%) are higher than those from agricultural feedstock (18%). In contrast, FW from school canteens and inexpensive restaurants tends to be starch-based with high levels of amyloids (21% up to 23%) and fat (5% up to 7%). A novel method better reflecting the bioavailability of carbon and nitrogen to anaerobic consortia is proposed. It is demonstrated that the previous optimization methods could somehow reflect the availability of nutrients in agricultural feedstock, as carbonaceous and nitrogen sources are relatively equally biodegradable. Nevertheless, the biodegradability of FW is considerably different, which is why higher amounts of proteins and lipids lead to increased levels of ammonia and sulfide, resulting in an inhibitory effect on the metabolism of anaerobic consortia. Optimizing the anaerobic fermentation of FW by the new method outperforms the previous technique and makes it possible to process FW more intensively, or, more precisely, with higher profitability and lower proportion of ballast agricultural feedstock.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15567036.2020.1776796","authors":["Josef Maroušek","Otakar Strunecký","Ladislav Kolář","Marek Vochоzka","Marek Kopecký","Anna Maroušková","Jana Batt","Miloš Poliak","Miloslav Šoch","Petr Bartoš","Tomáš Klieštik","Martin Filip","Petr Konvalina","Jan Moudrý","Jiří Peterka","Karel Suchý","Tomáš Zoubek","Edmond Çera"],"tags":["Biogas","Raw material","Environmental science","Nutrient","Food waste"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-06-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15567036.2020.1776796","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.575Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404441221","name":"Transforming carbon-intensive coal-fired power plants into negative emission technologies via biomass-fired calcium looping retrofit","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Calcium looping is a promising CO2 capture technology due to reduced energy and economic penalties compared to mature solvent scrubbing technologies. It also can enable negative CO2 emissions when biomass is used to drive the sorbent regeneration process in the calciner. However, the trade-off between the energy, economic and environmental performance under different biomass co-firing fractions in the calciner and process operating scenarios has not yet been well understood. This study examined the potential for transforming a 580 MWel coal-fired power plant into a negative CO2 emitter via retrofit of calcium looping with biomass co-firing in the calciner. High-fidelity process models were developed in Aspen Plus and used to analyse the effect of biomass co-firing fraction, CO2 capture rate in the carbonator, and the fraction of flue gas fed to the carbonator on the techno-economic performance indicators. The results revealed that co-firing 30% biomass with coal in the calciner was sufficient for the retrofitted process to achieve negative CO2 emissions (−3.9 gCO2/kWelh). In this scenario, the levelized cost of electricity was 5% lower (81.1 €/MWelh) than that in the reference retrofit scenario without biomass co-firing (85.4 €/MWelh) at a carbon tax of 100 €/tCO2. Further improvement to the techno-economic performance was achieved by reducing the amount of CO2 captured in the carbonator by reducing either the CO2 capture rate (81.1 €/tCO2) or the amount of flue gas processed (80.4 €/tCO2). Although this was achieved at the expense of the increased specific CO2 emissions to 65.2 gCO2/kWelh and 109.0 gCO2/kWelh, respectively, the net specific emissions were still about 90% lower than those of the unabated host plant (792.3 gCO2/kWelh). This study demonstrated that depending on design priorities, biomass co-firing in the calciner can transform the existing coal-fired power plants into negative CO2 emission technologies or improve the process techno-economic viability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ce/zkae089","authors":["Dawid P.

However, the large-scale production and consumption of hydrocarbons inevitably imposes significant environmental burdens, primarily in the form of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to global climate challenges (SPE, 2025). This paper proposes an innovative method for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) by injecting biochar a carbon-rich byproduct of biomass pyrolysis into depleted oil and gas reservoirs (AlDossary et al., 2024). The primary goal is to achieve net-zero emissions by harnessing stability, high carbon density, and porosity of biochar for long-term carbon sequestration, thereby reshaping industry practices through sustainable initiatives (Khanifar and Mousavimirkalaei, 2024). By evaluating design parameters including pyrolysis conditions, injection procedures, and real-time monitoring, this study explores the potential of biochar injections to securely lock carbon over extended timescales. Additionally, ancillary benefits such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR), reduced waste streams, and soil fertility improvements are discussed (Venkatesh, 2022). Laboratory and pilot-scale field tests underscore biochar’s stability in reservoir conditions and affirm its capacity for extended carbon retention (Hao et al., 2014). Biochar injection emerges as a strategic tool for mitigating GHG emissions, aligning seamlessly with the UAE’s larger vision for climate responsibility and sustainable resource management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/224758-ms","authors":["Abdulaziz Alhashmi","R.

This consumption is primarily dedicated to heating and cooling. Thermal insulation in construction plays an important role in the minimization of operational energy consumption. Currently, insulation is performed via mineral and fossil-derived materials, which require high manufacturing energy. For this reason, attention has been paid to finding clean and energy-efficient alternatives. Subsequently, biomass-based insulation materials have been identified as low-embodied energy materials that reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. These green and sustainable insulation materials fall in line with the transition in France towards low-carbon and positive-energy buildings. In this respect, research works have mostly focused on renewable biomass resources and wastes, the design and production of insulation materials, the testing of their properties and their installation in buildings; however, few articles have reviewed their durability and end-of-life management.

To begin understanding the attributes of soil oligotrophs, we analyzed three independent datasets that represent contrasts in organic carbon availability. These datasets included 185 samples collected from soil profiles across the USA, 950 paired bulk soil and rhizosphere samples collected across Europe, and soils from a microcosm experiment where carbon availability was manipulated directly. Using a combination of marker gene sequencing and targeted genomic analyses, we identified specific oligotrophic taxa that were consistently more abundant in carbon-limited environments (subsurface, bulk, unamended soils) compared to the corresponding carbon-rich environment (surface, rhizosphere, glucose-amended soils), including members of the Dormibacterota and Chloroflexi phyla. In general, putative soil oligotrophs had smaller genomes, slower maximum potential growth rates, and were under-represented in culture collections. The genomes of oligotrophs were more likely to be enriched in pathways that allow oligotrophs to metabolize a range of energy sources and store carbon, while genes associated with energy-intensive functions like chemotaxis and motility were under-represented. However, few genomic attributes were shared, highlighting that oligotrophs likely use a range of different metabolic strategies and regulatory pathways to thrive in resource-limited soils.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ismeco/ycae081","authors":["Nicholas B.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a key role in connecting the productive and ecological functions of apple orchards by acting as a bridge between human activities and natural processes. This review highlights new research on how SOC can transform agricultural landscapes in apple orchards. SOC not only serves as a reservoir of nutrients but also acts as a central concept to link different aspects of agricultural systems. Agronomic management practices, such as precise handling of crop residues, innovative organic soil amendments, and diverse cover cropping systems, have proven effective in improving essential ecosystem functions in apple orchard management. These methods enhance nutrient cycling, promote beneficial soil microbes, and increase resilience in farming systems. By viewing agricultural landscapes as interconnected networks that serve multiple purposes, this study moves beyond conventional one‐size‐fits‐all approaches to farming.

On the other hand, an encouraging technology could be the biological capture of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) using seaweeds, otherwise known as macroalgae, as they have unrivaled advantages over higher plants due to the fact that they do not require terrestrial land, occur naturally in large quantities as well as can be easily cultivated. Seaweeds are multicellular inhabiting the littoral and sublittoral zones in the sea with ample amount of light to drive photosynthesis. Photosynthetic efficiency of seaweeds range from 20% to 40% as compared to 1–2% in terrestrial plants. Moreover, the advantage of being tolerant to high concentration of CO 2 , low light intensity requirement, environmental sustainability, and the possibility to derive value-added products, make macroalgae favorable for carbon sequestration.

Our results show that while providing valuable life cycle understanding, current practices utilize diverse methods, usually attributional in nature, which are CDR and time‐specific. As a result, they do not allow comprehensive cross‐comparison between CDRs, nor reveal the potential consequences of scaling up CDRs in the future. We suggest CDR LCA design requires clearer definitions of the study scope and goal, the use of more consistent functional units, greater comprehensiveness in system boundaries, and explicit baseline definitions. This would allow for robust assessments, facilitating comparison with other CDR methods, and better evidencing net climate benefits. The inventory should collect time‐dependent data on the full CDR life cycle and baseline, and report background assumptions. The impact assessment phase should evidence the climatic merits, co‐benefits, and trade‐offs potentially caused by the expanding CDR.

Among the most promising CCUS approaches is the integration of CO₂ sequestration with Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), which not only aids in reducing atmospheric CO₂ but also enhances hydrocarbon recovery from mature oil reservoirs. This evaluates hybrid CO₂ sequestration and EOR strategies, focusing on the optimization of CO₂ injection methods that maximize oil recovery while ensuring the long-term geological stability of the stored CO₂. CO₂ injection into oil reservoirs enhances oil recovery through mechanisms such as miscible displacement, oil viscosity reduction, and swelling effects. The study examines various CO₂ injection strategies, including continuous, cyclic, and water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection, and their effectiveness in improving oil recovery efficiency. Additionally, advanced methods like foam-assisted CO₂ injection are explored for their potential in increasing sweep efficiency and reducing CO₂ mobility, thus enhancing both hydrocarbon recovery and storage security. Ensuring the long-term stability of stored CO₂ is critical to the success of CCUS projects. The study assesses the factors influencing CO₂ retention, including capillary trapping, mineralization, and solubility trapping, and highlights the role of advanced monitoring techniques, such as 4D seismic imaging and pressure monitoring, to detect potential leakage and ensure the integrity of storage sites.

The study revealed the following findings: (1) From 2012 to 2022, the development of the marine low-carbon economy exhibited an “N”-shaped pattern, while the trend of carbon emission reduction generally followed the opposite pattern due to a “lag” effect.

Notwithstanding these merits, challenges such as gyroscopic phenomena, standby energy losses, and substantial initial investment costs continue to persist, necessitating advancements in nanotechnology and IoT‐enabled monitoring systems to bolster performance. As international initiatives aimed at decarbonizing transportation gain momentum, FESS is strategically positioned to assume a crucial role in sustainable mobility by facilitating efficient energy storage, curtailing emissions, and ensuring enduring reliability.

Much like transforming raw clay into a finely crafted ceramic through controlled firing, these materials evolve through carefully designed synthesis and activation routes that dictate their pore structure, surface chemistry, and ultimately their adsorption performance. This review consolidates recent advances in the mechanisms, synthesis pathways, activation methodologies, and sustainability considerations, shaping their development within integrated carbon capture systems. Hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) in the 200°C to 260°C range plays a critical role in tailoring surface area and microstructure. The chemical activation consistently delivers superior performance, averaging CO2 uptake values of 2.86 mmol/g, notably higher than 1.85 mmol/g obtained via physical activation. Life-cycle assessments highlight the potential for near-neutral or even negative net emissions, particularly when biomass residues are utilised as the energy source for activation. Techno-economic evaluations further reveal competitive removal costs that outperform those of conventional amine-based systems, driven by lower regeneration energy requirements and reduced capital costs. Collectively, this review uniquely integrates mechanistic understanding, activation-performance benchmarking, and sustainability evidence to establish clear design and deployment pathways for biomassderived carbons in integrated carbon capture systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.46754/ps.2026.01.001","authors":["Hossein Shahbeik"],"tags":["Carbon fibers","Sustainability","Raw material","Renewable energy","Software deployment"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.46754/ps.2026.01.001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409239483","name":"Organic carbon sequestration in global croplands: evidenced through a bibliometric approach","source":"openalex","abstract":"Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in cropland soils improves soil health and water quality, crop productivity, and resilience to climate-driven changes by influencing key soil processes.

First, to alleviate the coupling of heat and electric power, a solar thermal collector (STC)‐CHP unit model is developed by integrating an STC unit with the traditional CHP unit in the IES. In addition, hydrogen energy utilization equipment, including hydrogen fuel cell (HFC), hydrogen storage (HS), is introduced based on the traditional power‐to‐gas (P2G) process, to fully exploit the value of hydrogen. Meanwhile, the carbon capture system (CCS) is considered in the IES to reduce the carbon emission. Next, a low‐carbon economic dispatch model of the STC‐CHP‐P2G‐CCS coupled IES is established considering the reward and punishment ladder‐type carbon trading (RPLCT) mechanism, aiming to minimize economic costs. The proposed model is solved by programming the CPLEX solver through the YALMIP toolbox. Finally, two categories of scenarios simulation are set up to evaluate the proposed IES and its dispatch strategy. Results show that the total daily operating cost of the proposed system amounts to 8.6525 million RMB, marking a significant reduction of 8.2695 million RMB compared to the basic system. This substantial saving not only covers but also exceeds the daily investment cost of 1.8561 million RMB required for the new equipment, demonstrating a certain level of economic viability. In addition, the system achieves a 100% renewable energy accommodation rate, and carbon emissions are reduced by 2596.3 tons by incorporating the RPLCT mechanism, achieving negative carbon emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ese3.1995","authors":["You Lv","Zeyang Li","Dan Deng","Yijun Shi","Hao Sun","Tenghui Wang"],"tags":["Thermal","Power (physics)","Energy (signal processing)","Solar energy","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ese3.1995","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406690375","name":"Unifying the Description of Hydrocarbons and Hydrogenated Carbon Materials with a Chemically Reactive Machine Learning Interatomic Potential","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide We present a general-purpose machine learning (ML) interatomic potential for carbon and hydrogen which is capable of simulating various materials and molecules composed of these elements.

We explore public perception and acceptance of CCU-based products, with a focus on jet fuel as a case study. Using conjoint analysis within an online survey ( N = 1204), we evaluated how contextual factors—transport options, energy sources, and production settings—affect consumer preferences.

The results show that: 1) Over the period 2001–2019, the comprehensive index of the WEC system in the three Northeastern provinces ranged from 0.0994 to 0.2314. 2) Over the period 2001–2019, the coupling degree of the WEC system in the three Northeastern provinces ranged from 0.9457 to 0.9985, equating to a high coupling stage level. However, the level of coupling coordination was low, with values ranging from 0.3151 to 0.4780, equating to a state of mild disorder or near disorder. 3) During the study period, water resource consumption, energy consumption, and carbon emissions all showed an increasing trend, with the former having the fastest growth rate. This study is of great significance for promoting the sustainable utilization of resources and green and low-carbon development in the three studied Northeastern provinces of China.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2023.1261339","authors":["Yongqiang Cao","Jing Li","Linfu Xie","Jiaqi Yao","Kexin Li","Ningyue Zhang","Xinhui Ji","Mengran Wang","Fan Mo","Haoran Zhai"],"tags":["China","Environmental science","Energy consumption","Analytic hierarchy process","Sustainable development"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-08-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2023.1261339","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z"},{"id":"oa:W2981686225","name":"Dry cask radiation shielding validation and estimation of cask surface dose rate with MAVRIC during long-term storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anucene.2019.107145","authors":["Yuan Gao","Noah McFerran","Andreas Enqvist","James Tulenko","James E.

This review synthesizes current knowledge on carbon dynamics within agroforestry systems, exploring their potential to mitigate climate change and enhance ecosystem resilience. Agroforestry practices sequester significant quantities of carbon in aboveground and belowground biomass, soil organic carbon (SOC), and litter, with sequestration rates ranging from 0.29 to 15.21 Mg C ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ depending on species, management, and site conditions. Multistrata systems such as homegardens and silvopastures show the highest carbon storage potential. Beyond mitigation, agroforestry improves microclimate regulation, hydrological buffering, and biodiversity, making it a robust adaptation strategy. The paper discusses spatial variability in carbon stocks across regions, from high SOC gains in tropical Asia to effective silvopastoral systems in Latin America. Methodologies for carbon assessment—ranging from allometric equations to remote sensing and life cycle assessment—are reviewed. Challenges related to knowledge gaps, tenure insecurity, and limited access to carbon finance hinder large-scale adoption. The review highlights emerging innovations in MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification), modeling, and biochar integration as research frontiers. By bridging biophysical evidence with socioeconomic insights, the paper positions agroforestry as an indispensable nature-based solution in global climate policy. Scaling agroforestry systems requires interdisciplinary research, supportive policies, and equitable financing mechanisms to unlock their full mitigation and adaptation potential.","url":"https://doi.org/10.9734/ijecc/2025/v15i84960","authors":["Sahil Chauhan","Ngahanyui Kengoo","Kamal Kishore","Makvana Rahulkumar Haksinhbhai","Prashant Rana"],"tags":["Climate change","Climate change adaptation","Adaptation (eye)","Agroforestry","Climate change mitigation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.9734/ijecc/2025/v15i84960","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404927918","name":"Towards Carbon Neutrality: Machine Learning Analysis of Vehicle Emissions in Canada","source":"openalex","abstract":"The transportation sector is a major contributor to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Canada, making the accurate forecasting of CO2 emissions critical as part of the global push toward carbon neutrality.

A sustainable approach to recycle plastic bag waste into carbon quantum dots (CQDs) using modified pyrolysis and hydrothermal methods with a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant (< 7 wt%) was proposed. Parameter optimization, such as pyrolysis product mass, hydrothermal time, and hydrogen peroxide concentration, was investigated. In this study, CQDs with a high quantum yield of 10.04% were successfully synthesized in a short time of 10 h. Compared to standalone pyrolysis or hydrothermal methods, the integrated pyrolysis-hydrothermal approach enhanced CQDs synthesis efficiency by achieving a shorter reaction time, lower processing temperature, and improved quantum yield. In addition, remarkable fluorescence stability of CQDs was acquired under UV light exposure, in various ionic strengths, and during prolonged storage. The size distribution of CQDs was 1.5–4.5 nm with a defected graphitic structure caused by incorporated oxygenated functional groups, such as carboxyl, carbonyl, and hydroxyl. The presence of these functional groups facilitated selective interaction between CQDs and Fe 3+ ions. Therefore, these CQDs showed high selectivity and sensitivity for Fe 3+ ions in water, with a good correlation coefficient of 0.9983 and a low limit of detection of 9.50 µM.

It puts forward a fresh framework for this analysis by dividing the NEV value chain into three segments: upstream, midstream, and downstream. Based on this framework, it expounds a strategic shift of China’s subsidization strategy across the NEV value chain, that is, from disproportionately subsidizing the midstream segment that produces NEVs and parts to increasingly subsidizing the upstream and downstream segments to promote research and development (R&D) and expansion of NEV infrastructure and consumption throughout the economy. It argues that this shift mainly comes out of the evolution of China’s industrial policies and economic priorities, which will continue to play a decisive role in the future restructuring and transformation of the NEVs sector. This shift may also reflect China’s intention to reduce potential trade conflicts and maximize WTO-compliance but only to the extent that doing so would not unduly constrain its capacity to pursue its economic goals and industrial policies. In addition, while the WTO rules and jurisprudence may accommodate some of these subsidies (e.g., NEV infrastructure subsidies), the relevant rules will need to be further developed to provide more policy space for other types of subsidies used worldwide (e.g., R&D subsidies). Until then, it remains debatable as to whether the WTO provides sufficient room for countries to facilitate a green recovery in the post-pandemic era.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1017/s0922156521000704","authors":["Mandy Meng Fang","Weihuan Zhou"],"tags":["Midstream","Subsidy","Restructuring","Upstream (networking)","Downstream (manufacturing)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-02-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1017/s0922156521000704","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411491372","name":"Wireless Soft Athlete Bioelectronics for Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Ventilation and Physiological Performance","source":"openalex","abstract":"Wearable devices have become essential tools for monitoring athletes' health and performance.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with their high surface area, tunable porosity, and structural versatility, have recently attracted increasing attention as next-generation catalysts. This work reviewed advances in the design and application of each common MOF type for biodiesel synthesis through esterification and transesterification process. MOF composites, MOF derivatives, and MOF composite materials exhibit superior catalytic performance and recyclability compared to pristine MOFs, making them highly recommended for future research and applications. Beyond summarizing yields and reaction conditions, we highlight mechanistic insights, stability issues, and catalysis performance. Special attention is given to functionalized and composite MOFs, bifunctional systems, and enzyme-MOF hybrids, which demonstrate superior performance compared to pristine MOFs. While UiO- and ZIF-based MOFs dominate current research, emerging systems such as Ca- and Cu-MOFs remain underexplored yet promising. We analyze the key features required in MOF materials for efficient biodiesel production and provide a comprehensive review and categorization of recent advancements.

Existing carbon markets, plagued by opacity, centralization, and static MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) practices, are inadequate for dynamically managing decentralized, sectoral emissions in rapidly evolving megacities. This research proposes a novel, AI-powered carbon market intelligence framework that integrates cutting-edge technologies: Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), blockchain-enabled smart contracts, federated learning (FL), digital twins, and explainable AI (SHAP, LIME). The system is modular, privacy-preserving, and designed for real-time urban-scale decarbonization, adaptive policymaking, and citizen-level participation. Using Dhaka, Bangladesh, a climate-vulnerable megacity, as the primary use case, and Nairobi as a secondary scalability testbed, this study simulates a comprehensive pipeline: IoT sensors stream data to digital twins; AI models forecast emissions and carbon prices; smart contracts trigger transparent offset issuance; and federated models ensure localized learning without compromising data sovereignty. The system achieves high predictive accuracy (R2 > 0.92), 27.6% emission reductions in waste-energy sectors, and 12.3% gains in offset ROI over static baselines. Smart contract execution remains under 4.5 seconds, with negligible energy use under Proof-of-Stake blockchain. The explainability layer enhances stakeholder trust and policy interpretability, while gamified P2P carbon trading and participatory digital twins democratize climate action. The framework aligns with global instruments, including the UNFCCC Enhanced Transparency Framework, Article 6 mechanisms, Verra and Gold Standard protocols, and ICAO’s CORSIA, positioning it for integration into national and voluntary carbon markets. Ethical safeguards address algorithmic bias, data privacy, system resilience, and governance decentralization via DAOs. A full AI sustainability audit quantifies environmental trade-offs, demonstrating that avoided emissions exceed compute footprints by orders of magnitude. This paper delivers the first end-to-end, federated-AI and blockchain-driven carbon governance system for urban infrastructures in the Global South.

This study investigates the impact‐resistance and force‐sensing capabilities of polyborosiloxane (PBS) integrated within carbon fiber. Two types of PBS are synthesized with different crosslinking densities, focusing on their rheological and mechanical properties under various strain rates and impact conditions. The results show that peak force is highly correlated with impact energy, rather than velocity, when PBS is in its rubbery state. Interestingly, with the dynamic compression of a high strain rate, PBS produces a yielding stage and then a strengthening stage. Compared to traditional epoxy/carbon laminates, PBS65/Carbon composites exhibited superior impact energy absorption, withstanding up to seven repeated impacts due to the brittle cracking of PBS and its stiffening transition and the self‐healing function. Moreover, the addition of carbon nanotubes to the PBS matrix enabled the development of a force‐sensing composite, which can detect and measure impact forces. The PBS/Carbon laminates also exhibited enhanced flexibility, making them suitable for advanced protective applications requiring repeated impact‐resistance and real‐time force monitoring.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.202503952","authors":["Yajing Miao","Anatoli Kurkin","Pengfei Wang","Lin Ye","Xin Zhang"],"tags":["Materials science","Composite number","Impact resistance","Composite material","Fiber"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.202503952","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z"},{"id":"oa:W4220856113","name":"Tropical Peatland Hydrology Simulated With a Global Land Surface Model","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Tropical peatlands are among the most carbon‐dense ecosystems on Earth, and their water storage dynamics strongly control these carbon stocks. The hydrological functioning of tropical peatlands differs from that of northern peatlands, which has not yet been accounted for in global land surface models (LSMs). Here, we integrated tropical peat‐specific hydrology modules into a global LSM for the first time, by utilizing the peatland‐specific model structure adaptation (PEATCLSM) of the NASA Catchment Land Surface Model (CLSM). We developed literature‐based parameter sets for natural (PEATCLSM Trop,Nat ) and drained (PEATCLSM Trop,Drain ) tropical peatlands. Simulations with PEATCLSM Trop,Nat were compared against those with the default CLSM version and the northern version of PEATCLSM (PEATCLSM North,Nat ) with tropical vegetation input. All simulations were forced with global meteorological reanalysis input data for the major tropical peatland regions in Central and South America, the Congo Basin, and Southeast Asia. The evaluation against a unique and extensive data set of in situ water level and eddy covariance‐derived evapotranspiration showed an overall improvement in bias and correlation compared to the default CLSM version. Over Southeast Asia, an additional simulation with PEATCLSM Trop,Drain was run to address the large fraction of drained tropical peatlands in this region. PEATCLSM Trop,Drain outperformed CLSM, PEATCLSM North,Nat , and PEATCLSM Trop,Nat over drained sites. Despite the overall improvements of PEATCLSM Trop,Nat over CLSM, there are strong differences in performance between the three study regions. We attribute these performance differences to regional differences in accuracy of meteorological forcing data, and differences in peatland hydrologic response that are not yet captured by our model.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2021ms002784","authors":["Sebastian Apers","Gabriëlle De Lannoy","Andy J.

The implementation of cover crops as a sustainable agricultural practice has gained popularity worldwide. To further evaluate the role of cover cropping, this systematic review examines empirical evidence from 38 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025 to assess the impact of cover cropping on these key outcomes. Studies were selected based on strict inclusion criteria requiring original field data or validated modeling results that evaluated all three outcomes, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Data on cropping system, duration, type of cover crop, and outcome metrics were extracted. More than 80% of the literature reported benefits. Multi-species cover crop mixtures that were managed long-term enhanced SOC by 5–30%, with 87% and 55% of studies demonstrating enhanced soil quality and yield, respectively. However, some studies recorded yield reductions in drought-prone regions or when cover crops were terminated at inappropriate times. In some studies, improvements in microbial function and nutrient cycling were observed while several United States (U.S.) studies focused more on physical and biological indicators under dryland conditions. Although outcomes vary by context, cover crops are widely recognized as a viable strategy for climate-smart agriculture and sustainable soil management. To optimize benefits, there is a need for region-specific incentives, targeted agricultural policies, and standardized agronomic guidelines. Cover crops represent a key strategy for climate change mitigation and sustainable soil management. This review reveals that species diversity and long-term adoption are crucial for achieving reliable results. With the integrative focus of this review on the tripartite relationship between SOC, crop yield, and soil quality, as well as its comparative lens on global versus U.S. practices, it is novel because it offers crucial insights for evidence-based policy development and region-specific cover cropping strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy15122865","authors":["Monsuru Adekunle Salisu","Peter A.

The simulation results show that the final energy consumption structure in Beijing will continue to be improved and the electrification level will steadily increase, reaching 76% by 2060 under the accelerated scenario.

Offshore wind is among the preferred technologies for low-carbon energy. Deployment is forecast to accelerate over ten times faster than onshore wind between 2021 and 2025, while the first generation of offshore wind turbines is about to be decommissioned. However, the growing scale of offshore wind brings new sustainability challenges. Many of the challenges are circular economy-related, such as increasing resource exploitation and competition and underdeveloped end-of-use solutions for decommissioned components and materials. However, circular economy is not yet commonly and systematically applied to offshore wind. Circular economy is a whole system approach aiming to make better use of products, components and materials throughout their consecutive lifecycles. The purpose of this study is to enable the integration of a sustainable circular economy into the design, development, operation and end-of-use management of offshore wind infrastructure. This will require a holistic overview of potential circular economy strategies that apply to offshore wind, because focus on no, or a subset of, circular solutions would open the sector to the risk of unintended consequences, such as replacing carbon impacts with water pollution, and short-term private cost savings with long-term bills for taxpayers. This study starts with a systematic review of circular economy and wind literature as a basis for the coproduction of a framework to embed a sustainable circular economy throughout the lifecycle of offshore wind energy infrastructure, resulting in eighteen strategies: design for circular economy, data and information, recertification, dematerialisation, waste prevention, modularisation, maintenance and repair, reuse and repurpose, refurbish and remanufacturing, lifetime extension, repowering, decommissioning, site recovery, disassembly, recycling, energy recovery, landfill and re-mining. An initial baseline review for each strategy is included. The application and transferability of the framework to other energy sectors, such as oil and gas and onshore wind, are discussed.

The samples were named BCM (biomass carbon material) for non-doped and S-BCM (sulfur–biomass carbon material) for the doped samples. We further show that sulfur doping (with around 7% sulfur content) radically increases these nanoparticles’ performance, leading to higher capacitance and stability. The sulfur doping increased the specific surface area to 2124 m 2 g –1 compared to non-doped (1972 m 2 g –1 ), as reflected in the enhancement of the number of micropores. In addition, according to Raman spectroscopy analysis, the sulfur doping increased the structural defects based on the I D / I G values (S-BCM = 2.23 and BCM = 1.98). Furthermore, the sulfur doping increased the hydrophilicity of the carbon particles, allowing us to disperse them in water and use layer-by-layer self-assembly to fabricate supercapacitor electrodes with nanometer-layer precision. The assembled S-BCM electrodes exhibited a higher capacitance than those of pristine carbon with the highest values measured at 79.1 F/g at 1 A/g.

The biomass energy or biofuels combustion is carbon neutral or even carbon negative as the carbon, which is stored during its growth, is released and does not add new carbon to the active carbon cycle, whereas fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas remove carbon from geologic storage and contribute to climate change by emission of GHGs. Biofuel also controls the carbon emissions from biomass facilities which would have been released back into the atmosphere through natural decay or disposal through open-burning. Inspite of these GHG benefits, the progress in biofuels expansion is at crossroads as it is influenced by various factors like land use changes and food security related issues.

The integration of a power plant with decarbonised fuel from the capture unit is taken into account from both technical and economic perspectives. Aspen Plus® is used to develop the process. The results obtained from the techno-economic analysis showed that the WGS implementation increases the capture efficiency from 46.5% to 83.8%, with increased CO2 capture cost from € 39.8/tCO2 to €44.3/tCO2. The sensitivity analysis on the effect of 1) different BFG composition and 2) different carbon capture rate (CCR) on the capture unit integrated with WGS performance is performed. The obtained results revealed that BFG with a lower calorific value is less practical from a techno-economic point of view as it increases the specific primary energy consumption for CO2 capture avoidance (SPECCA) from 3.3MJLHV/kgCO2 to 3.8MJLHV/kgCO2. Moreover, the lower CCR increases the thermal energy of the H2-rich gas from the capture unit from 266.8 MW to 269.6 MW. The techno-economic advantages of the based case do not results beneficial for na environment point of view since at lower CCR the specific CO2 emissions increase from 51 kgCO2/GJLHV to 70 kgCO2/GJLHV.

To effectively address climate change, reducing carbon emissions has become an urgent task for countries worldwide. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies are regarded as crucial measures to combat climate change, among which ocean CO2 sequestration has emerged as a promising approach. Recent reports from the International Energy Agency (IEA) indicate that by 2060, CCUS technologies could contribute up to 14% of global cumulative carbon reductions, highlighting their significant potential in mitigating climate change. This review discusses the main technological pathways for ocean CO2 sequestration, including oceanic water column sequestration, CO2 oil and gas/coal seam geological sequestration, saline aquifer sequestration, and seabed methane hydrate sequestration. The current research status and challenges of these technologies are reviewed, with a particular focus on the potential of seabed methane hydrate sequestration, which offers a storage density of approximately 0.5 to 1.0 Gt per cubic kilometer of hydrate. This article delves into the formation mechanisms, stability conditions, and storage advantages of CO2 hydrates. CO2 sequestration via hydrates not only offers high storage density but also ensures long-term stability in the low-temperature, high-pressure conditions of the seabed, minimizing leakage risks. This makes it one of the most promising ocean CO2 sequestration technologies. This paper also analyzes the difficulties faced by ocean CO2 sequestration technologies, such as the kinetic limitations of hydrate formation and leakage monitoring during the sequestration process.

The societal commitment to combat climate change is reflected in the Paris Agreement with the primary focus to mitigate climate change by reducing or limiting greenhouse gas emissions. To facilitate the achievement of emission reduction targets, innovative carbon crediting and offsetting mechanisms have been developed. These mechanisms enable stakeholders to offset their emissions by using carbon offset credits if needed. These carbon offset methodologies can be classified into two main categories. The first category involves directly reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the environment through green and emission-capturing solutions, such as reforestation and carbon capture and storage. The second category focuses on achieving a relative reduction in carbon emissions by using or investing in technologies with lower carbon intensity compared to business-as-usual practices, such as renewable energy. The reduction achieved in this second category is assumed to be equivalent to not emitting the calculated amount of emissions. However, both categories generally do not address the emissions' sources directly. This study introduces a third approach by proposing the creation of a carbon offset market at the emissions' source, offering a novel way to directly tackle the origins of carbon emissions. This approach aims to prevent emissions from being released in the first place, directly addressing the source of emissions. It aligns with the precautionary principle, which advocates for proactive measures to prevent harm. This approach should not be confused with the non-consumption approach, which is a top-down strategy focused on reducing demand. Instead, it is a bottom-up approach that seeks to reduce the supply of emissions. This study developed a four-step methodology for implementing a carbon offset market at the source, starting with fixing fossil fuel extraction per producer, then fixing the profit margin per unit of extraction, then calculating the carbon content per unit of fossil fuel, and finally creating a carbon offset market at the source where one can offset their carbon footprint by paying an amount equivalent to the profit from fossil fuel extraction to the producer in exchange for a reduction in an equivalent amount of fossil fuel extraction. It also offers insights into emission reductions potential through this approach, along with cost calculations per unit of reduction based on historical records, literature data, and statistical databases. The main advantage of the proposed approach is its bottom-up focus on reducing the supply of emissions, which leads to tangible and quantifiable reductions in real time. This method eliminates potential loopholes in traditional methodologies, ensuring that the reductions are both immediate and verifiable.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envc.2024.101034","authors":["Rahul Aggarwal"],"tags":["Limit (mathematics)","Global warming","Call to action","Agreement","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envc.2024.101034","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z"},{"id":"oa:W2981387085","name":"Optimal sizing and operating strategy of a stand‐alone generation–load–storage system: An island case study","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Component sizing optimization and technoeconomic feasibility studies for stand‐alone power systems have been actively discussed in recent years.

However, approaches to effectively identify key locations that have the capacity to supply ecosystem services and actually contribute to meeting human demand for those services are lacking at broad spatial scales. We developed new methods that integrate measures of the capacity of ecosystems to provide services with indicators of human demand and ability to access these services. We then identified important areas for three ecosystem services currently central to protected area management in Canada—carbon storage, freshwater, and nature-based recreation—and evaluated how these hotspots align with Canada’s current protected areas and resource development tenures. We find that locations of ecosystem service capacity overlap only weakly (27–36%) with actual service providing areas (incorporating human access and demand). Overlapping hotspots of provision for multiple ecosystem services are also extremely limited across Canada; only 1.2% (∼56 000 km 2 ) of the total ecosystem service hotspot area in Canada consists of overlap between all three ecosystem services. Canada’s current protected area network also targets service capacity to a greater degree than provision. Finally, one-half to two-thirds of current ecosystem service hotspots (54–66%) overlap with current and planned resource extraction activities. Our analysis demonstrates how to identify areas where conservation and ecosystem service management actions should be focused to more effectively target ecosystem services to ensure that critical areas for ecosystem services that directly benefit people are conserved. Further development of these methods at national scales to assess ecosystem service capacity and demand and integrate this with conventional biodiversity and conservation planning information will help ensure that both biodiversity and ecosystem services are effectively safeguarded.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/abc121","authors":["Matthew G.

Photoreduction of CO2 results in the production of CH3COOH with a selectivity of 86.4%, which represents a 6.4-fold increase compared to samples lacking single atoms, and the overall selectivity for C2 products is 95.1%. Furthermore, the yield of CH3COOH is 22.4 times higher compared to samples containing single atoms and without nanoparticles. Optical experiments demonstrate that the single atoms domains can effectively capture photoexcited electrons by the Au nanoparticles, or the local electric field generated by the nanoparticles promotes the transfer of photogenerated electrons in MoS2 to Au single atoms, prolonging the relaxation time of photogenerated electrons. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the orbital coupling of Au5d and Mo4d strengthens the oxygen affinity of Mo and carbon affinity of Au. The hybridized orbitals reduce energy splitting levels of CO molecular orbitals, aiding C–C coupling. Moreover, the Mo−Au dual-site stabilize the crucial oxygen-associated intermediate *CH2CO, thereby enhancing the selectivity towards CH3COOH.

The organic carbon in the fine silt and clay size fraction (OC fine ) is typically mineral‐associated and thus relatively stable. However, the SOC saturation concept suggests that the OC fine has limited capacity for additional carbon (C) storage, thereby constraining further C sequestration. Low‐OC and fine‐textured soils are thought to have greater potential to stabilize additional OC than High‐OC and coarse‐textured soils due to their higher available storage space. Here, we assessed soils' potential to stabilize additional OC using 21 temperate agricultural soils, varying in SOC (0.7%–10.2%), silt + clay content (32%–92%), and OC loading of fine fraction (17–135 g C kg −1 ). We investigated the decomposition and recovery of uniform 13 C labeled litter after 2 years in two size‐based fractions: OC coarse (> 20 μm, the OC associated with coarse silt and sand) and OC fine (< 20 μm). Litter‐derived OC retention increased significantly with initial SOC content and fine fraction OC loading, primarily driven by the OC coarse fraction, which indicated that less added C was utilized by microbes when enough C was already abundant. In contrast, litter‐derived OC fine formation was negatively correlated with initial SOC and fine fraction OC loading. However, when normalized to the amount of actually decomposed litter, initial SOC and texture did not significantly affect the efficiency of OC fine formation. NanoSIMS showed litter‐derived OC forming at distinct microscale patches, partly overlapping with OM‐ and mineral‐dominated sites.

Instead, increasing initial SOC content appeared to have a positive effect on litter‐derived OC retention by retarding its mineralization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70646","authors":["Neha Begill","Steffen A.

Its high clean water production rate is realized by constructing multi stage membrane distillation (MSMD) device at the backside of the solar cell to recycle the latent heat of water vapor condensation in each distillation stage.

The results show that these Chinese FDI inflows increased industrial carbon emissions in Africa. This adverse effect is particularly pronounced when Chinese FDI targets labor and resource-intensive manufacturing sectors. We attribute this finding to two mechanisms: the sector concentration on labor and resource-intensive manufacturing and the manufacturing processes of Chinese FDI characterized by suboptimal de facto implementation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards compared to the international best practices.

Energy demand and ‘greenhouse gas’ (GHG) emissions associated with the United Kingdom (UK) Iron & Steel sector principally result from the large consumption of coal/coke used in conjunction with the blast furnace. Like other sectors of industry, efforts are being made to ensure that processing becomes ever more environmentally benign, or ‘green’. Thus, the notion of ‘green steel’ has entered into the industrial vocabulary over the last decade or so. It is a steel-making process designed principally to lower GHG emissions, as well as potentially cutting costs and improving the quality of steel, in comparison to conventional methods. The aim of this study was therefore to (i) elicit the various ways in which the term ‘green steel’ has recently been used in the literature; and (ii) compare and contrast different options for making UK steel production more environmentally benign, particularly in regard to its decarbonisation. Some key ‘deep decarbonisation’, or ‘disruptive’, options for producing green steel in the UK are evaluated drawing on the experience from other nation-states and regions. These include the prospects for carbon capture and storage (CCS), the use of bioenergy resources, hydrogen-based production, electrification, and the least desirable option of deindustrialisation (i.e., reducing or out-sourcing of UK steel production ‘offshore’). ‘Circular economy’ interventions or resource efficiency improvements (‘reduce, reuse, recycle’) are also discussed. The potential reductions in GHG emissions from the UK Iron & Steel sector overall out to 2050 are then illustrated by comparison with previous technology roadmaps or transition pathways. The lessons learned are applicable across much of the industrialised world.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.glt.2021.03.001","authors":["Paul W. Griffin","Geoffrey P.

However, their practical application is hindered by several challenges, including dendrite formation, corrosion, and the competing hydrogen evolution reaction. To address these issues, we designed and fabricated a composite protective layer for Zn anodes by integrating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with chitosan through a simple and scalable scraping process. The CNTs ensure uniform electric field distribution due to their high electrical conductivity, while protonated chitosan regulates ion transport and suppresses dendrite formation at the anode interface. The chitosan/CNTs composite layer also facilitates smooth Zn2+ deposition, enhancing the stability and reversibility of the Zn anode. As a result, the chitosan/CNTs @ Zn anode demonstrates exceptional cycling stability, achieving over 3000 h of plating/stripping with minimal degradation. When paired with a V2O5 cathode, the composite-protected anode significantly improves the cycle stability and energy density of the full cell. Techno-economic analysis confirms that batteries incorporating the chitosan/CNTs protective layer outperform those with bare Zn anodes in terms of energy density and overall performance under optimized conditions.

While wind‐induced turbulent mixing in the SO mixed layer is significant for air‐sea fluxes, the importance of the orders‐of‐magnitude weaker background mixing below is less well understood. The direct impact of altering background mixing on tracers, as opposed to the response due to a longer‐term change in large‐scale ocean circulation, is also poorly studied. Topographically induced upward propagating lee waves, wind‐induced downward propagating waves generated at the base of the mixed layer, shoaling of southward propagating internal tides, and turbulence under sea ice are among the processes known to induce upper ocean background turbulence but typically are not represented in models. Here, we show that abruptly altering the background mixing in the SO over a range of values typically used in climate models ( m2 s−1– m2 s−1) can lead to a ∼70% change in annual SO air‐sea CO2 fluxes in the first year of perturbations, and around a ∼40% change in annual SO air‐sea CO2 fluxes over the 6‐year duration of the experiment, with even greater changes on a seasonal timescale. This is primarily through altering the temperature and the dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity distribution in the surface water. Given the high spatiotemporal variability of processes that induce small‐scale background mixing, this work demonstrates the importance of their representation in climate models for accurate simulation of global biogeochemical cycles.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2023jc019756","authors":["Elizabeth Ellison","A.

In the pathway towards decarbonization of district heating, its 4th generation enables integration of high shares of renewable energy sources and waste heat. This article reviews the challenges confronted by such integration, investigating the technical and non-technical difficulties associated with the exploitation of solar thermal, waste heat, geothermal, and biomass energy sources into district heating systems. The study reveals that although solar thermal district heating is a mature technology, optimization of solar field size, location and collector type is still an active research field. In application of waste heat, distance between heat sources and users is often a barrier. Moreover, low-temperature waste heat and low-enthalpy geothermal sources require application of heat pumps. As regards biomass, its theoretical dispatchability is in practice limited by logistical challenges and low flexibility of biomass boilers, mostly relegating it to cover base load only. Thus, biomass does not appear to be a long-term solution for heating purposes, also considering its competing use to produce biofuels (needed for sectors more difficult to decarbonize). Lastly, application of seasonal storage coupled with heat pumps is expected to play a crucial role in maximizing renewable energy use, but its sizing and integration requires dynamic analysis of heat demand as well as of charging and discharging temperatures.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2022.112156","authors":["A.M.

We begin by clarifying the distinct mechanisms of CO2 physisorption and chemisorption on carbonaceous surfaces, while also elucidating how key operating parameters (temperature, pressure) and real-world flue gas components (e.g., water vapor, SO2) modulate adsorption behavior. Critical evaluation is then given to strategies for enhancing three core performance metrics—CO2 uptake capacity, selectivity over N2, and cyclic stability—including the construction of sub-nanometer micropores (","url":"https://doi.org/10.70322/gct.2026.10003","authors":["Wang Jiaqiang","Yang Guohui","Wu Ling","Zhou Binghua","Wang Zhipeng","Huang Zhenghong","Gang Liu","Wang Mingxi"],"tags":["Flue gas","Adsorption","Physisorption","Materials science","Porosity"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.70322/gct.2026.10003","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411669492","name":"Suitability and Potential Evaluation of Carbon Dioxide Geological Storage: Case Study of Dezhou Subdepression","source":"openalex","abstract":"Under the dual-carbon policy framework, geological CO2 storage, particularly in saline aquifers, is pivotal to achieving national emission reduction targets. However, selecting geologically favorable storage sites demands quantitative assessment of complex geological factors—a task hindered by subjective traditional methods. To address this, the study employs an integrated approach combining multi-criteria decision analysis (Analytic Hierarchy Process and Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation) with multiphase flow simulations to investigate the Dezhou Subdepression in Shandong Province. The results indicate that the Dezhou Subdepression is moderately favorable for CO2 geological storage, characterized by geologically optimal burial depth and favorable reservoir conditions. When the injection pressure increases from 1.1 times the original Group pressure (1.1P) to 1.5 times the original Group pressure (1.5P), the lateral migration distance of CO2 expands by 240%, and the total storage capacity increases by approximately 275%. However, under 1.5P conditions, the CO2 plume reaches the model boundary within 6.3 years, underscoring the increased risk of CO2 leakage under high-pressure injection scenarios. This study provides strategic insights for policymakers and supports strategic planning for a CO2 storage pilot project in the Dezhou Subdepression.

From January to March 2002, the Project Team initiated the construction of a 40 ha Carbon Capture and Water Emissions Treatment System (CCWESTRS) near TVA's Paradise Fossil Plant on marginally reclaimed surface coal mine lands in Kentucky. The CCWESTRS is growing commercial grade trees and cover crops and is expected to sequester 1.5-2.0 MT/ha carbon per year over a 20-year period. The concept could be used to meet a portion of the timber industry's needs while simultaneously sequestering carbon in lands which would otherwise remain non-productive. The CCWESTRS includes a constructed wetland to enhance the ability to sequester carbon and to remove any nutrients and metals present in the coal fly ash process water runoff. The CCWESTRS project is a cooperative effort between TVA, EPRI, and DOE-NETL, with a total budget of $1,574,000. The proposed demonstration project began in October 2000 and has continued through December 2005. Additional funding is being sought in order to extend the project. The primary goal of the project is to determine if integrating power plant processes with carbon sequestration techniques will enhance carbon sequestration cost-effectively. This goal is consistent with DOE objectives to provide economically competitive and environmentally safe options to offset projected growth in U.S. baseline emissions of greenhouse gases after 2010, achieve the long-term goal of $10/ton of avoided net costs for carbon sequestration, and provide half of the required reductions in global greenhouse gases by 2025. Other potential benefits of the demonstration include developing a passive technology for water treatment for trace metal and nutrient release reductions, using power plant by-products to improve coal mine land reclamation and carbon sequestration, developing wildlife habitat and green-space around production facilities, generating Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) credits for the use of process water, and producing wood products for use by the lumber and pulp and paper industry. Project activities conducted during the five year project period include: Assessing tree cultivation and other techniques used to sequester carbon; Project site assessment; Greenhouse studies to determine optimum plant species and by-product application; Designing, constructing, operating, monitoring, and evaluating the CCWESTRS system; and Reporting (ongoing). The ability of the system to sequester carbon will be the primary measure of effectiveness, measured by accessing survival and growth response of plants within the CCWESTRS. In addition, costs associated with design, construction, and monitoring will be evaluated and compared to projected benefits of other carbon sequestration technologies. The test plan involves the application of three levels each of two types of power plant by-products--three levels of FGD gypsum mulch, and three levels of ash pond irrigation water. This design produces nine treatment levels which are being tested with two species of hardwood trees (sweet gum and sycamore). The project is examining the effectiveness of applications of 0, 8-cm, and 15-cm thick gypsum mulch layers and 0, 13 cm, and 25 cm of coal fly ash water for irrigation. Each treatment combination is being replicated three times, resulting in a total of 54 treatment plots (3 FGD gypsum levels X 3 irrigation water levels x 2 tree species x 3 replicates).

However, the rapid expansion of large-scale solar installations has intensified competition for land use, pitting energy production against agriculture and biodiversity conservation. This conflict underscores the need for innovative solutions that balance these competing demands while promoting sustainable land use. Accordingly, this review explores the potential of agrivoltaics as a transformative strategy to address land-use conflicts. It seeks to assess the current state of agrivoltaic systems, their benefits, limitations, and future prospects, with a focus on their ability to boost land productivity while advancing renewable energy production. Main body of the abstract The study employs a comprehensive approach, including a bibliometric analysis of agrivoltaics research and an evaluation of technological innovations such as adjustable solar panels and spectral filtering techniques. These advancements aim to optimize sunlight capture and reduce shading, enhancing both energy output and crop growth. Further, the review examines case studies of successful agrivoltaic projects across diverse climates, crop types, and photovoltaic (PV) technologies, emphasizing their scalability and adaptability. The findings demonstrate that agrivoltaic systems provide significant benefits, including increased energy production and higher agricultural outputs. By creating favourable microclimates, these systems improve soil moisture retention, reduce water usage, and enhance biodiversity. Moreover, agrivoltaics contribute to climate change mitigation by lowering greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable land management. Economically, they offer rural communities diversified income streams, reduced energy costs, and improved energy access in remote and peri-urban areas. Despite these advantages, challenges such as high upfront costs, regulatory barriers, and technical limitations hinder widespread adoption of this technology. Short conclusion Agrivoltaics represents a holistic approach to harmonizing energy generation and sustainable agriculture. The integration of technological innovations with environmental and economic benefits inspires the potential to transform land-use practices and support net-zero carbon footprint. However, achieving this potential requires addressing existing challenges through policy support, sensitization, and financial incentives.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s42269-025-01331-5","authors":["George G.

Bold decarbonization goals have propelled a rapid resurgence of interest in pumped storage hydropower in the US, given its ability to provide bulk energy storage, manage grid reliability, and support increasing integration of variable renewable energy sources. Drawing on published research from both technical and social science perspectives, this paper provides an overview of pumped storage hydropower technology, the project development pipeline, potential social and environmental impacts, including a comparison of open‐loop and closed‐loop design configurations, and critical considerations for project development. In contrast to all existing pumped storage hydropower projects in the US that are open‐loop and located on natural water bodies, this review finds that over 80% of proposed projects are closed‐loop designs, due to their siting flexibility away from natural water bodies and purportedly lower social and environmental impacts. However, issues around projects, including concerns over permitting and consultation processes and conflicts over siting, water resources, and Indigenous lands, are emerging more frequently given the planned expansion of projects in the arid US West and near Tribal lands. These issues and conflicts are not necessarily lowered by closed‐loop technology. The early stage of project development offers an opportunity to design projects that include community input and minimize tradeoffs. In turn, this will require taking a critical look at each pumped storage hydropower project as well as understanding community perceptions and the lifecycle impacts of this technology.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/wat2.70017","authors":["Surabhi Karambelkar","Alida Cantor","Thien‐Kim Bui","Bethani Turley","Maryalice Fischer","Shannon Ames"],"tags":["Hydropower","Environmental planning","Environmental science","Business","Natural resource economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/wat2.70017","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z"},{"id":"oa:W2521108607","name":"Implication of Paris Agreement in the context of long-term climate mitigation goals","source":"openalex","abstract":"The Paris Agreement confirmed the global aim to achieve a long-term climate goal, in which the global increase in mean temperature is kept below 2 °C compared to the preindustrial level.

The first is the review and revision of the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) in 2020, with an additional reduction target to the current NDCs being one workable alternative.

Therefore, herein, two medium‐carbon steels are alloyed with up to 1 wt% of the listed tramp elements. The influence these elements have on the inclusion behavior in liquid steel is investigated using the sessile drop method in contact with alumina and zirconia as well as in steel/slag melting experiments to evaluate the formation and separation of new inclusions. Additionally, a semiempirical approach using CALPHAD to model the surface tension of steels with tramp elements is done. Copper and tin decrease the surface tension, while molybdenum increases the surface tension. It is demonstrated that most investigated alloys lead to a decrease of wetting angle as compared to the nonalloyed steels. The shown trends in the sessile drop experiments are lower contact angles with increased surface tension while a higher number of inclusions occurs with a decrease in surface tension. Thus, this study demonstrates that tramp elements affect the oxidic cleanness of steels.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/srin.202300715","authors":["Julian Cejka","Bernhard Sammer","Isabell Gruber","Gerald Klösch","Susanne Michelic"],"tags":["Tramp","Materials science","Carbon fibers","Metallurgy","Composite material"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/srin.202300715","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z"},{"id":"oa:W4379233423","name":"Carbon-Neutral Steel Production and Its Impact on the Economies of China, Japan, and Korea: A Simulation with E3ME-FTT:Steel","source":"openalex","abstract":"The iron and steel industry is a large emitter of CO2 globally.

The two offshore power barges concepts, called PGU (Power Generation Unit) are either based on low-carbon fuels or on local Capture &amp; Storage to supply low carbon power &amp; enable offshore facilities electrification. One of the main challenges of the Net Zero ambition for the Oil&amp;Gas industry (scope 1 and scope 2) is the reduction of GHG emissions related to the fuel gas consumption for power generation (&amp;gt;70% of the CO2 emissions), particularly for offshore remote sites where Power from Shore is not feasible. Centralized floating Power Generation Units (PGU) can be connected to existing platforms and/or FPSOs to supply low carbon electricity. Either with an offshore PGU fed with low carbon fuels (green or blue ammonia). The PGU include all the functions to store, treat &amp; convert ammonia into a blend of hydrogen and ammonia. Either with an offshore PGU with carbon capture and injection into a local CO2 storage (CCS). The PGU includes a compact backpressure combined cycle, a post combustion solvent based (MEA), a capture package designed for 95% CO2 removal. Some units are directly integrated in the structure of the hull to optimize weight &amp; space. 325 MWe of net electrical power are generated. This low carbon power is exported from the PGU to existing offshore facilities equipped with single cycle gas turbines (&amp;lt;40% efficiency, 500 gCO2/kWh). This decarbonized power is exported through subsea electrical cables. The two concepts are compared in term of technical feasibility, maturity, GHG reduction and costs. A Life cycle analysis was performed to evaluate the environmental impact. These low carbon power generation solutions (30 gCO2/kWh) enable to stop gas turbines on site. The two concepts result in similar floaters dimensions and Capex, with a higher Opex for the carbon free fuel due to fuel cost. The offshore CCS concept is seen as a shorter-term solution, applicable in the current decade, main challenge being the availability of an adequate CO2 storage to ensure a sustainable local reinjection. R&amp;D focus on technology innovations to reduce costs. As an alternative, the offshore NH3 PGU concept is a longer-term solution for hard to abate sites, where CO2 reservoir availability can be an issue. A Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) shows that ammonia chain shall be green or fully sequestrated. R&amp;D is driven by the need for new technologies, fully fuel flexible Gas Turbines to address multiple low carbon fuels scenarios. These developments shall be started now to enable this concept when the low carbon fuel market will be ready. The novelty relies on the development and comparison of offshore power barges concepts delivering a minimum of 325MWe, either based on low-carbon fuels (ammonia) or CCS to power &amp; decarbonize existing assets.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/222007-ms","authors":["J.

Moreover, their operation relies on historical data, lacking real-time control and coordinated scheduling with power plants. To bridge this gap, this study proposes a multi-timescale optimization scheduling framework that enables minute-level real-time control of modular DAC systems co-located with RES power plants. The approach uniquely integrates transferable and curtailable flexible operation modes within a two-phase scheduling system—combining day-ahead planning with intraday rolling optimization—while incorporating power forecast data from RES plants to eliminate perfect-foresight assumptions inherent in retrospective optimization, thereby establishing the first implementable real-time controlled co-dispatch architecture for synergistic RES-DAC integration. A case study based on real-world data from an 850 MW wind farm demonstrates that this approach can reduce daily system operation costs by a factor of five, increase the utilization rate of curtailed electricity to over 90%, and capture 1.5 million tons of CO 2 annually. Collectively, these outcomes establish an effective scheduling solution for RES-DAC integration that simultaneously enhances environmental sustainability and economic returns.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100530","authors":["Lun Wang","Yuhang Liu","Zhanhai Li","Xilin Gu","Lijun Yu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-09T10:26:39Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100530","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4704924","name":"Integrated Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Through CO\n&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; Mineralization Using Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion Fly and Bottom Ashes Via Simulated CO\n&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; Injection: A Case Study in South Korea","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4704924","authors":["Eunhoo Jeong","Seok-ho Jung","Hyun Sang Shin"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-31T02:56:25Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4704924","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/su17209250","name":"A Critical Review on the Opportunities and Challenges of Offshore Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"Offshore Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is emerging as a critical strategy for achieving net-zero emissions, offering significant storage potential in depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and deep saline aquifers while leveraging existing offshore infrastructure.

Meanwhile, a significant amount of cold energy sources remains untapped despite growing energy demand. Integrating unused cryogenic sources with carbon capture technologies offers a promising pathway to accelerate the low-carbon transition. This paper investigates multiple integrated process designs that utilize the high-grade cold energy of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for carbon capture and storage in the form of liquefied CO 2 (LCO 2 ), structured around pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-combustion strategies. The analysis is contextualized by Singapore's LNG imports and local distribution conditions. Steady-state models assess the performance of each integrated design, while techno-economic evaluation examines the LNG power net revenues, accounting for capture costs, environmental taxation, and potential LCO 2 sales, contingent on market accessibility. The assessment shows that an integrated chemical absorption capture system with blended amines would achieve a CO 2 intensity of 0.135 kg/kWh e , with the highest increase in net revenue (30.1 %) if the LCO 2 is marketed, and among the lowest shortfalls in net revenue (0.44 %) without market access. The results also indicate that an integrated cryogenic carbon capture system would achieve low to moderate abatement rates, leading to CO 2 intensities as low as 0.202 kg/kWh e . Without LCO 2 market access, it would incur a minor net revenue shortfall of less than 0.5 %, but only if acid gas enrichment increases CO 2 concentration in the feed gas to 30 %mol CO2 (dry basis).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2025.146274","authors":["Fadhel Ayachi","Li Chin Law","Epaminondas Mastorakos","Alessandro Romagnoli"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-26T12:02:15Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jclepro.2025.146274","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-323-95498-3.00006-7","name":"CO2 capture technologies","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-323-95498-3.00006-7","authors":["Juliana Monteiro","Florian Möllenbruck","Takashi Kamijo","Jannis Deitert","Eike Willms","Luc Rudowski","Jost Lemke","Eric van Dijk","Juriaan Boon","Soledad van Eijk"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-09-01T05:22:05Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-323-95498-3.00006-7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/jge5/4230897","name":"Preliminary Assessment of the Reservoir Rock in the Niger Delta for Carbon Capture and Storage in Depleted Reservoirs","source":"openalex","abstract":"The world is running out of time to be on target for the Paris Agreement to maintain an average global temperature rise of 1.5°C.

Characterisation of geological formations is fundamental to ascertain the ability to keep injected carbon in perpetuity without posing a risk to the environment. This study focuses on the characterisation of the mineralogy, petrophysical, petrographic properties and micromorphological data of reservoirs using core samples from the reservoirs in the Niger Delta, Nigeria. A systematic set of specialised equipment such as XRD, X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) and SEM‐EDS was implored to understand the preliminary characterisation of selected reservoirs before carbon dioxide injection. Porosity and permeability were measured using a helium porosimeter to complement the mineralogical composition and morphology. The petrographic and mineralogical characteristics of the core samples provide crucial insights into potential geochemical reactions. Quartz, orthoclase and albite were found to be dominant in all the sampled depo belts with chlorite and garnet being the trace minerals. The sampled depo belts recorded an average porosity of 10% to 30% with permeability averaging 130–300 mD, which surpass the cautionary indicator limits. The findings indicated a positive potential for CCS in the Niger Delta with suitable mineralogical and petrophysical properties. The positive findings of this research pave the way for pilot testing with the physical injection of carbon dioxide.

The present study investigates two possible pathways for carbon capture from an ethylene oxide (EO) production plant for utilization in a urea plant. The simulation of the proposed processes was carried out using Aspen Plus software, and the optimization of the transportation pipeline was performed using Matlab and Aspen Hysys software. Two different scenarios were investigated for the removal of water from CO 2 . In the first scenario, a two-phase separator was utilized to separate the accompanying water from CO 2 , whereas the second scenario incorporated a reactive distillation tower (RD). The proposed scenarios were evaluated and compared from technical, economical, and environmental perspectives. The results obtained from the simulation showed that the second method eliminated the risk of corrosion in gas transmission pipeline by implementing a RD tower, which converts accompanying water into ethylene glycol (EG) through a reaction with ethylene oxide. Therefore, the gas transmission pipeline material could be carbon steel instead of stainless-steel, that was the case for the first scenario. On the other hand, the first method had lower energy consumption, resulting in 37% lower CO 2 emissions compared to the second method. Furthermore, the total operating cost (TOC), total capital cost (TCC), and total annual cost (TAC) associated with the separation of accompanying water and transportation pipeline were evaluated for each scenario. The revenue from ethylene glycol production in the second scenario was also calculated. In summary, the results indicated that the second scenario outperforms the first scenario from the economic viewpoint. In contrast, the first scenario is more environmentally favorable in terms of CO 2 emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-07235-8","authors":["Fatemeh Neyestani","Kaveh Nasri Mohajeri","Alireza Nikokar","Mahmoud Farrokhi","Seyed Mohammad Mahdi Nouri"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-01T15:51:40Z","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-07235-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/adsu.202501422","name":"CO\n                    <sub>2</sub>\n                    Capture, Utilization, and Storage using Amino Acids","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract The capture, utilization, and storage of CO 2 are the primary options to minimize the adverse effects of global warming and related climate change resulting from increased anthropogenic CO 2 emissions.

An increase in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has led to an increase in greenhouse gas effects. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one of several solutions proposed to help combat the ever-continuous increase of greenhouse gases in our environment. However, it has been noted by several research papers that for CCS to affect the greenhouse gas effect, the source of the CO2 gas for the carbon capture and storage (sequestration) must be obtained from anthropogenic means. While most other nations haven't only begun this process but also have already established a solid legal framework and regulations for CCS, Nigeria currently has no legal framework for the regulation of CCS. This paper focuses on establishing a framework for CCS to be adapted in Nigeria as a measure to take the first step in the process of establishing a carbon capture and storage process in Nigeria. This process was done by analyzing other legal frameworks that have already been established and then taking into account the diversity and political nature of the Nigerian structure, censoring, and editing these regulations as seen fit, to make a legal framework that is suitable and acceptable to and for Nigerians. In the process of analysis, several key factors such as transportation (across borders and intra-trade), leakages, faults, levies, and taxes as well as tax reduction incentives for companies willing to use CCS were taken into consideration and then explored to find a common ground for both companies and government. The main objective of this work is to urge the Nigerian government and the petroleum industry of the need for the immediate reduction of greenhouse gasses and their effects and the first step begins with laying down the groundwork. The study concludes that adopting a robust legal framework tailored to Nigeria's unique socio-political environment is essential. It also recommends specific legislative actions and incentives to foster CCS adoption, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between government and industry stakeholders.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/221616-ms","authors":["A.

This study introduces a comprehensive framework for optimizing well placements in CCS operations, employing a derivative-free method known as Bayesian optimization. The development plan is tailored for scenarios featuring aquifers devoid of flow boundaries, incorporating production wells tasked with controlling pressure buildup and injection wells dedicated to CO2 sequestration. Notably, the wells operate under group control, signifying predefined injection and production targets and constraints that must be adhered to throughout the project’s lifespan. As a result, the objective function remains invariant under specific permutations of the well locations.

Using a dynamic common correlated effects (DCCE) log–log panel, we estimate the elasticity of CI with respect to sectoral CCS facility counts within four income-group panels and the full sample. In the high-income panel, CCS in direct air capture, cement, iron and steel, power and heat, and natural gas processing sectors produces statistically significant CI declines of 0.15%, 0.13%, 0.095%, 0.092%, and 0.087% per 1% increase in facilities, respectively (all p &lt; 0.05). Upper-middle-income countries exhibit strong CI reductions in direct air capture (–0.22%) and cement (–0.21%) but mixed results in other sectors. Lower-middle- and low-income panels show attenuated or positive elasticities—reflecting early-stage CCS adoption and infrastructure barriers. Robustness checks confirm these patterns both before and after the 2015 Paris Agreement and between emerging and developed economy panels. Spatial analysis reveals that the United States and United Kingdom achieved 30–40% CI reductions over the decade, whereas China, India, and Indonesia realized only 10–20% declines (relative to a 2010 baseline), highlighting regional deployment gaps. Drawing on these detailed income-group insights, we propose tailored policy pathways: in high-income settings, expand tax credits and public–private infrastructure partnerships; in upper-middle-income regions, utilize blended finance and technology-transfer programs; and in lower-income contexts, establish pilot CCS hubs with international support and shared storage networks. We further recommend measures to manage CCS’s energy and water penalties, implement rigorous monitoring to mitigate leakage risks, and design risk-sharing contracts to address economic uncertainties.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17136222","authors":["Maxwell Kongkuah","Noha Alessa","Ilham Haouas"],"tags":["Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Sustainable development","Natural resource economics","Empirical evidence","Environmental economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-07","doi":"10.3390/su17136222","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17351/ests2023.2917","name":"What Do We Mean When We Say Carbon Capture and Storage?

Therefore, this study opens up a new avenue for designing choline chloride modified MOF based materials with advanced gas adsorption properties.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-5064694/v1","authors":["Entian Li","Zuquan Zhang","Minghe Zhou","Pei Yao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-12T10:29:18Z","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-5064694/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.691Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-008044570-0/50112-4","name":"The Oxyfuel Baseline","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-008044570-0/50112-4","authors":["Rodney Allam","Vince White","Neil Ivens","Mark Simmonds"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2007-10-10T17:20:20Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-008044570-0/50112-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.691Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21552/cclr/2010/3/142","name":"Subsidizing Carbon Capture and Storage Demonstration through the EU ETS New Entrants Reserve: A Proportionality Test","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21552/cclr/2010/3/142","authors":["M.

Most studies find the potential for 70 to 80 percent reductions in CO2 emissions on a life-cycle basis, depending on the technology. Because of this potential, utilities and policymakers are considering the wide-spread implementation of CCS technology on new and existing coal plants to dramatically curb greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the power generation sector. However, the implementation of CCS systems will have many other social, economic, and environmental impacts beyond curbing GHG emissions that must be considered to achieve sustainable energy generation. For example, emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and particulate matter (PM) are also important environmental concerns for coal-fired power plants. For example, several studies have shown that eutrophication is expected to double and acidification would increase due to increases in NOx emissions for a coal plant with CCS provided by monoethanolamine (MEA) scrubbing. Potential for human health risks is also expected to increase due to increased heavy metals in water from increased coal mining and MEA hazardous waste, although there is currently not enough information to relate this potential to actual realized health impacts. In addition to environmental and human health impacts, supply chain impacts and other social, economic, or strategic impacts will be important to consider. A thorough review of the literature for life-cycle analyses of power generation processes using CCS technology via the MEA absorption process, and other energy generation technologies as applicable, yielded large variability in methods and core metrics. Nonetheless, a few key areas of impact for CCS were developed from the studies that we reviewed. These are: the impact of MEA generation on increased eutrophication and acidification from ammonia emissions and increased toxicity from MEA production and the impact of increased coal use including the increased generation of NOx from combustion and transportation, impacts of increased mining of coal and limestone, and the disposal of toxic fly ash and boiler ash waste streams. Overall, the implementing CCS technology could contribute to a dramatic decrease in global GHG emissions, while most other environmental and human health impact categories increase only slightly on a global scale. However, the impacts on human toxicity and ecotoxicity have not been studied as extensively and could have more severe impacts on a regional or local scale. More research is needed to draw strong conclusions with respect to the specific relative impact of different CCS technologies. Specifically, a more robust data set that disaggregates data in terms of component processes and treats a more comprehensive set of environmental impacts categories from a life-cycle perspective is needed. In addition, the current LCA framework lacks the required temporal and spatial scales to determine the risk of environmental impact from carbon sequestration. Appropriate factors to use when assessing the risk of water acidification (groundwater/oceans/aquifers depending on sequestration site), risk of increased human toxicity impact from large accidental releases from pipeline or wells, and the legal and public policy risk associated with licensing CO2 sequestration sites are also not currently addressed. In addition to identifying potential environmental, social, or risk-related issues that could impede the large-scale deployment of CCS, performing LCA-based studies on energy generation technologies can suggest places to focus our efforts to achieve technically feasible, economically viable, and environmentally conscious energy generation technologies for maximum impact.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/1031992","authors":["Sarah H.

The results indicate that CCTS can theoretically contribute to the decarbonization of Europe’s energy and industry sectors.

However, CCTS deployment is highest in CO2-intensive industries where emissions cannot be avoided by fuel switching or alternative production processes. In all scenarios, the importance of the industrial sector as a first mover to induce the deployment of CCTS is highlighted. By contrast, a decrease of available storage capacity or a more moderate increase in CO2 prices will significantly reduce the role of CCTS as a CO2 mitigation technology, especially in the energy sector. Continued public resistance to onshore CO2 storage can only be overcome by constructing expensive offshore storage. Under this restriction, to reach the same levels of CCTS penetration will require doubling of CO2 certificate prices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1678398","authors":["Roman Mendelevitch","Andreas Tissen","Pao-Yu Oei","Johannes Herold"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-01-05T04:34:38Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1678398","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.691Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2118/233178-ms","name":"A Comprehensive Assessment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Potential in Turkey's Deep Saline Aquifers: Emission Inventory to CO2 Storage Modelling","source":"crossref","abstract":"Our world faces escalating environmental challenges driven by a growing population and a corresponding rise in energy consumption.

This chapter systematically summarizes the latest research progress on microalgal CCS, providing valuable information for sustainable pollution control and environmental improvement of water, soil, and air.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003611479-15","authors":["Zeyuan Wang","Yang Zhou","Yu Hong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-14T19:26:29Z","doi":"10.1201/9781003611479-15","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.576Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/geosciences14060146","name":"Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) in Saline Aquifers versus Depleted Gas Fields","source":"crossref","abstract":"Saline aquifers have been used for CO2 storage as a dedicated greenhouse gas mitigation strategy since 1996. Depleted gas fields are now being planned for large-scale CCS projects. Although basalt host reservoirs are also going to be used, saline aquifers and depleted gas fields will make up most of the global geological repositories for CO2. At present, depleted gas fields and saline aquifers seem to be treated as if they are a single entity, but they have distinct differences that are examined here. Depleted gas fields have far more pre-existing information about the reservoir, top-seal caprock, internal architecture of the site, and about fluid flow properties than saline aquifers due to the long history of hydrocarbon project development and fluid production. The fluid pressure evolution paths for saline aquifers and depleted gas fields are distinctly different because, unlike saline aquifers, depleted gas fields are likely to be below hydrostatic pressure before CO2 injection commences. Depressurised depleted gas fields may require an initial injection of gas-phase CO2 instead of dense-phase CO2 typical of saline aquifers, but the greater pressure difference may allow higher initial injection rates in depleted gas fields than saline aquifers. Depressurised depleted gas fields may lead to CO2-injection-related stress paths that are distinct from saline aquifers depending on the geomechanical properties of the reservoir. CO2 trapping in saline aquifers will be dominated by buoyancy processes with residual CO2 and dissolved CO2 developing over time whereas depleted gas fields will be dominated by a sinking body of CO2 that forms a cushion below the remaining methane. Saline aquifers tend to have a relatively limited ability to fill pores with CO2 (i.e., low storage efficiency factors between 2 and 20%) as the injected CO2 is controlled by buoyancy and viscosity differences with the saline brine. In contrast, depleted gas fields may have storage efficiency factors up to 80% as the reservoir will contain sub-hydrostatic pressure methane that is easy to displace. Saline aquifers have a greater risk of halite-scale and minor dissolution of reservoir minerals than depleted gas fields as the former contain vastly more of the aqueous medium needed for such processes compared to the latter. Depleted gas fields have some different leakage risks than saline aquifers mostly related to the different fluid pressure histories, depressurisation-related alteration of geomechanical properties, and the greater number of wells typical of depleted gas fields than saline aquifers. Depleted gas fields and saline aquifers also have some different monitoring opportunities. The high-density, electrically conductive brine replaced by CO2 in saline aquifers permits seismic and resistivity imaging, but these forms of imaging are less feasible in depleted gas fields. Monitoring boreholes are less likely to be used in saline aquifers than depleted gas fields as the latter typically have numerous pre-existing exploration and production well penetrations. The significance of this analysis is that saline aquifers and depleted gas fields must be treated differently although the ultimate objective is the same: to permanently store CO2 to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and minimise global heating.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/geosciences14060146","authors":["Richard H.

A critical challenge in CCS deployment is understanding how impurities in dense-phase CO₂ particularly oxidative impurities such as Oxygen, Nox affect the integrity of metallic materials used in injection wells and associated infrastructure. This study investigates the corrosion behavior of several corrosion-resistant alloys in dense-phase CO₂ streams containing oxygen and high chloride reservoir brines. The presence of oxygen, combined with low pH and elevated chloride concentrations, is known to accelerate localized corrosion in oilfield environments. An extensive electrochemical test program was conducted to evaluate the Critical Crevice Temperature (CCT) of key alloys, including 25CRW [UNS S39274], G3 [UNS N06985], SM2550 [UNS N06255], P750 [DIN 1.4675], 955 [UNS N09955], and HC276 [UNS N10276]. The influence of varying oxygen concentrations and temperatures on CCT was systematically studied to simulate plausible downhole CCS conditions. The results enabled the definition of safe operating envelopes for these alloys and informed the development of a rapid screening methodology based on electrochemical techniques. This approach offers a cost-effective alternative to long duration exposure testing, facilitating faster material selection and qualification for CCS applications. This work provides critical insights into material degradation mechanisms in oxygen contaminated CO₂ environments and supports the development of robust material selection strategies for future CCS deployments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4043/36655-ms","authors":["V T Aruna","Vijaykumar Narasaiah","Guruprasad Sundararajan","Brian Chambers"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-30T00:13:48Z","doi":"10.4043/36655-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z"},{"id":"doi:10.31315/jpgt.v5i2.13144","name":"Critical Factors in Injector Well Design for Carbon Capture and Storage Campaign in Field “X”","source":"crossref","abstract":"Indonesia’s total energy supply increased nearly 60% from 2000 to 2021. However, the total energy sector emissions have grown faster than energy demand, more than doubling over the last two decades. In 2021, energy sector emissions were around 600 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (Mt CO₂) – making Indonesia the world’s ninth-largest emitter. Indonesia faces a big challenge with the target to reach net zero emissions by 2060. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is considered as a potential solution. However, CO₂ injection wells face well integrity issues that may lead to leakage. One of the most common problems in CO₂ injection wells is corrosion. Corrosion may cause damage on the downhole equipment which leads to degradation of the well integrity. Therefore, a thorough material selection should be considered. This study examines critical factors in designing CO₂ injector wells for a CCS campaign in Field \"X\", a major offshore gas condensate field with a planned injection rate of 160.2 MMSCFD. This study aims to determine suitable casing schemes, tubular material selection, and corrosion analysis for CO₂ injector wells, while evaluating leakage potential based on well barrier concepts.

Recent policy developments in Austria, including renewed discussions on geological CO₂ storage and increased integration into the EU carbon market, have intensified interest in evaluating domestic CCS potential. The Vienna Basin represents Austria’s most promising onshore CCS candidate, owing to its extensive subsurface dataset, long production history, and proven performance as a storage province.This study assesses the feasibility of CCS in the Vienna Basin with a specific focus on pressure-driven interactions between CO₂ injection and other subsurface operations. A basin-scale reservoir model is developed to represent the key stratigraphic units, structural elements, and hydraulic connections relevant for CO₂ storage. Using this model, multiple injection scenarios are simulated to evaluate pressure evolution, pressure propagation away from the injection site, and the resulting pressure footprints at the basin scale.Rather than focusing solely on CO₂ plume migration, the analysis emphasizes pressure waves generated by CO₂ injection and their transmission through permeable formations and fault zones. These pressure perturbations may extend well beyond the immediate storage complex and potentially affect neighboring subsurface activities, including underground gas storage, geothermal energy exploitation, and prospective hydrogen storage sites. Scenario results are used to quantify the magnitude and spatial extent of pressure increases and to assess their implications for operational pressure limits, injectivity, and fault stability in adjacent reservoirs.The results are synthesized into a feasibility framework that links geological suitability, pressure management, and multi-use compatibility. This framework provides guidance on favorable storage domains, critical constraints, and key uncertainties associated with CCS deployment in the Vienna Basin.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu26-6712","authors":["Mohab Abdellatif","Holger Ott"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-13T21:58:36Z","doi":"10.5194/egusphere-egu26-6712","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/b11439-12","name":"CCS Quality Standards–Challenges to Commercialization","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/b11439-12","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-01-17T15:14:12Z","doi":"10.1201/b11439-12","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.691Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.joule.2019.06.003","name":"Comparative Energy Analysis of Renewable Electricity and Carbon Capture and Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2019.06.003","authors":["Paul S.

The Snøhvit development, due to start production in late 2007, will involve a CCS component from day one. Approximately 700,000 tons of CO2 captured from the liquefaction plant will be reinjected every year in an underground formation offshore. Furthermore there are interesting alternatives for CO2 capture from the on-site power plant and for the use of CO2 for EOR in a nearby oilfield, leading to several future development scenarios for CCS at Snøhvit. Different development scenarios for CCS are analysed to select the best development option. The economic modelling framework will also be used to assess the impact of the uncertainties on the project economics. The analysis identifies that a key driver for the profitability of the project is the legislative setting for CCS. The involvement of the government is very important for the viability of the project, which needs a strong incentive, as the current CO2 tax scheme or an emission trading scheme with strict allocation of emission targets. Under such conditions a CCS project such as Snøhvit becomes a win-win situation: economically profitable for the operator and environmentally friendly. From a broader perspective, addressing the economic and legislative uncertainty currently surrounding CCS projects for the oil and gas industry is crucial because this represents the main limiting factor for the further development of such projects. It is therefore essential that economic modelling tools such as the framework described in the present work become industry standards so as to ensure that projects which could be profitable for both the operator and the environment are not abandoned by pure lack of analysis ability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/107430-ms","authors":["Matei Negrescu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2007-12-21T01:43:57Z","doi":"10.2118/107430-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.691Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/min12030349","name":"The Prospects of Clay Minerals from the Baltic States for Industrial-Scale Carbon Capture: A Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Carbon capture is among the most sustainable strategies to limit carbon dioxide emissions, which account for a large share of human impact on climate change and ecosystem destruction.

Renewable energies are becoming more prevalent, but are still a long way from being commonplace worldwide. Literature mining is applied to review carbon capture and storage (CCS) development trends and to develop and examine a novel carbon capture and storage technological paradigm (CCSTP), which incorporates CCSTP competition, diffusion and shift. This paper first provides an overview of the research and progress in CCS technological development, then applies a techno-paradigm theory to analyze CCSTP development and to provide a guide for future CCS technological trends. CCS could avoid CO2 being released into the atmosphere. Moreover, bioenergy with CCS (BECCS) can make a significant contribution to a net removal of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In this study, we compare the different CCSTP developmental paths and the conventional techno-paradigm by examining the S-curves. The analyses in this paper provide a useful guide for scholars seeking new inspiration in their research and for potential investors who are seeking to invest research funds in more mature technologies. We conclude that political barriers and public acceptance are the major distinctions between the CCSTP and the conventional techno-paradigm. It is expected that policy instruments and economic instruments are going to play a pivotal role in the accomplishment of global carbon reduction scenarios.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en7085221","authors":["Bobo Zheng","Jiuping Xu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2014-08-14T10:37:25Z","doi":"10.3390/en7085221","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.691Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.5224722","name":"Critical Review and Recommendations for Strengthening Health and Safety and Major Accident Prevention Regulations for Carbon Capture and Storage in UK Ports","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5224722","authors":["Wassim Dbouk","Damon Teagle","Lindsay-Marie Armstrong","Johanna Hjalmarsson","Stephen Turnock","Alexandros Ntovas"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-21T16:41:36Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.5224722","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.202573051","name":"Mitigating Emissions from Acid Gas Fields Monetization: CCS Source-to-Sink Analysis in Southeast Asia","source":"crossref","abstract":"Summary The energy transition in Southeast Asia is challenged by the need to balance energy security, affordability, and environmental sustainability. Natural gas, considered a transitional fuel, is expected to play a key role in achieving net zero emissions. However, the extraction from high-acid gas fields is projected to increase greenhouse gas emissions from the region’s upstream production, reaching 128 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent by 2050, primarily due to reservoir CO2 venting. To address this, integrating Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) into development plans is crucial. This study focuses on matching CO2 venting emissions with geological CO2 storage potential in Southeast Asia, examining depleted and depleting fields, and dry structures. The methodology involves a source-to-sink analysis of CO2 emissions from upstream projects expected between 2025–2050, using data from Vantage®. Geological storage candidates are evaluated based on capacity, injectivity, and containment. The study identifies potential CO2 storage sites and hubs within a 275 km radius and highlights the need for additional storage capacity from saline aquifers. Despite the region’s storage potential exceeding expected emissions, some projects cannot be matched with existing storage options, necessitating further assessment of saline aquifers for effective emissions abatement.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202573051","authors":["T.

This paper introduces a tailored Integrated Core Analysis Framework designed specifically for CCS applications, addressing the unique containment and storage challenges associated with CO2 injection. The framework advances conventional core analysis by incorporating enhanced methodologies in rock mechanics, geochemistry, routine core analysis (RCA), and special core analysis (SCAL). It integrates novel laboratory techniques such as pre- and post-aging studies and detailed mineralogical analyses to better understand reservoir behavior. These enhancements allow for precise characterization of rock properties, stress distribution, and mineral alterations under CO2 exposure. Ultimately, the framework enables accurate prediction of CO2 behavior, mechanical stability assessments, and geochemical interaction evaluations, safeguarding the structural integrity and long-term success of CCS projects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202577105","authors":["A.

This paper characterizes and contrasts the emission quantification methods associated with CCS projects from the perspective of voluntary emission reduction initiatives and recent regulatory reporting requirements under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP). From the regulatory perspective, the U.S. EPA is addressing the mandatory GHG reporting for CO2 injection and potential geological storage, providing a different approach for facilities that supply CO2 to the market, those that inject CO2 for purposes of enhanced oil and gas recovery, and those that are engaging in long-term geological storage. Information gathered under the GHGRP will enable EPA to track the amount of CO2 supplied to the market, injected, and/or stored by U.S. facilities. In addition, where the CO2 injection facilities are also associated with other oil and gas operations, the GHGRP requires quantifying and reporting GHG emissions from those operations where the facilities meet specified regulatory thresholds. This information will be a key element in providing baseline data and activity information for the development of future emission standards and control techniques for GHG emission mitigation in the U.S. In addition to reporting initiatives, industry is providing guidance to support voluntary GHG reduction initiatives. The American Petroleum Institute (API) and the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA) have collaborated on a guideline document to promote the credible, consistent, and transparent quantification of GHG emission reductions from CCS projects (IPIECA/API, 2007). This document emphasizes that the entire range of activities associated with CCS - capture, transport, injection and storage - must be considered in quantifying emissions and emission reductions from CCS operations. This paper will examine common aspects and notable differences between the mandatory reporting programs and voluntary GHG emission reduction activities. It will specifically emphasize collateral characteristics such as the scope of emission sources, accuracy of quantification methods, reporting and monitoring requirements. Introduction to CCS CCS applies established technologies to capture, transport and store CO2 emissions from large point sources. Wide deployment of CCS techniques is viewed as essential for addressing climate change, while also providing energy security, creating jobs, and economic prosperity. The International Energy Agency (IEA) states that CCS could reduce global CO2 emissions by 19%, and that without CCS, overall costs to reduce emissions to 2005 levels by 2050 would increase by 70% (IEA, 2009). CCS refers to the chain of processes that are designed to collect or capture a CO2 gas stream, transport the CO2 to a storage location, and inject the CO2 into a geological formation1 for long-term isolation from the atmosphere (See Figure 1). CCS involves avoiding the release of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere by injecting CO2 and ultimately storing it in a geological formation. The assessment of GHG emission reductions from CCS projects should address all of these elements.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7122/151437-ms","authors":["Karin Ritter","Steven Lee Crookshank","Miriam Lev-On","Theresa M.

The paper provides an exploratory discussion on how India is ready to meet its carbon sequestration targets by 2030 based on the CCUS. With an exploratory and descriptive research design, the study solely utilizes secondary data in the form of government reports, published academic literature, policy documents, and institutional assessments.

The main results demonstrate that India has a estimated 291-359 Gt of potential geological storage of CO 2 as the theoretical capacity, but its modern CCUS capabilities are on pilot stage. Power sector remains the highest emitter with an annual average of 1.4 GtCO 2 in 2023 and cement and steel are increasing at a rate of 6 percent per year. The December 2025 release of the CCUS R&amp;D Roadmap by the DST has augmented policy momentum much better.

The studies involving in-depth assessments of CCS in Japan are limited; therefore, this study quantifies the impact of CCS uncertainties on Japan’s net-zero energy mix using an energy system optimization model. The simulation results show that CO2 storage availability largely affects the optimal energy choice in the entire energy sector, including the electricity and all end-use sectors. Future CCS implementation will determine the penetration of zero-emission fuels, such as hydrogen, ammonia, and synthetic fuels. The results also imply that CCS is crucial in curbing Japan’s emission reduction costs. The marginal CO2 abatement cost in 2050 surges to 170,000 JPY/tCO2 in a limited CCS potential case (injecting 10 MtCO2/year in 2050), almost tripling from that of a higher CCS potential case (59,600 JPY/tCO2 when injecting 150 MtCO2/year in 2050). An additional analysis of CCS costs confirms that CCS can be economically attractive even in a “high cost” case.

Despite significant investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency, that Canada and others are making, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has forecast that as the global economy continues to grow, fossil fuels will continue to dominate the world’s energy supply for decades. Reconciling the world’s ongoing reliance on fossil fuels with the need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is then one of our greatest challenges. Canada is taking this challenge seriously with climate change policies that include enhancing our global leadership in advancing one of the most promising technologies for reducing GHG emissions from fossil fuel use: Carbon capture and storage (CCS). CCS is only one of several technologies that must be deployed and is not a ‘silver-bullet’ for meeting Canada’s target of reducing its GHG emissions by 17% from 2005 levels by 2020. Yet, CCS is one of the only technologies currently available for making emissions reductions from large-scale fossil fuel usage–and, thus, will be a critical component of the technology puzzle for Canada to meet its emissions reduction objectives. Canada has a number of key sectors where the deployment of CCS is needed and there are opportunities to advance the technology. These include coal-fired electricity plants, the oil sands, and natural gas processing (e.g. from the new development of shale gas) -though the opportunity and demand for advancing CCS technology also exists in other sectors such as chemicals, fertilizer, steel making, and cement. Federal and provincial governments in Canada are making substantial investments in CCS, committing upwards of $3 billion in public funding towards seven large-scale fully-integrated CCS demonstration projects. The federal ecoENERGY Technology Initiative announced $151 million for the initial engineering and/or pilot stages of seven potential demonstration projects in 2008. The 2009 federal budget created Clean Energy Fund, which included $610 million for CCS demonstrations. The Provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia have also committed funding for demonstrations, in particular $2 billion by Alberta. This public funding will leverage additional investment from industry, for projects that will each capture and store on the order of 1 million tonnes of CO2 per year, coming on-line starting in 2015 or sooner. This paper will provide an overview of Canada’s actions on advancing CCS deployment, with a focus on the CCS demonstration program and current R&D activities in Canada.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2011.02.562","authors":["Milenka Mitrović","Alexandra Malone"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2011-04-01T20:33:09Z","doi":"10.1016/j.egypro.2011.02.562","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.202573036","name":"Effect of Microfractures on the Seepage Characteristics of Hydrate Bearing Rocks under Confining Pressure","source":"crossref","abstract":"Summary The technology of methane production through the replacement of carbon dioxide in gas hydrates without their decomposition involves the cyclic injection and extraction of gas. Under cyclic pore pressure, predicting changes in permeability is a crucial factor that determines the overall efficiency of this technology. The classical approach to determining permeability under loading is the use of a power law, where the exponent is often cited by many authors as the coefficient of sensitivity of permeability to loading. However, the nature of this coefficient remains poorly understood. Some studies have attempted to establish a relationship between the exponent of the power equation and the porosity or permeability of rocks based on statistical dependencies. Nevertheless, these attempts have not provided a comprehensive understanding of the true nature of the law governing permeability changes. This paper presents the results of comparative modeling of the deformation of a porous medium with and without microcracks. Numerical modeling of permeability change with constant and nonlinear Young’s modulus was performed. Constant Young’s modulus is typical for monolithic samples. The presence of microcracks in samples determines significant deformations and nonlinearity of Young’s modulus. Comparison of numerical modeling results with experimental results showed a high degree of convergence.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202573036","authors":["E. Kozhevnikov","M.

This study examines the emerging bilateral CCS network between Norway and Poland, designed to leverage complementary strengths and accelerate technology deployment through transnational collaboration. Norway brings decades of operational expertise demonstrated through landmark projects like Sleipner and Snøhvit, as well as forward-looking initiatives such as the open-access Northern Lights project.

It is being discussed widely at all industrial forums, across all countries, big or small, to control pollution to ensure a healthy and happy life for all. There have been attempts and studies over last 50 years to capture carbon dioxide from the environment to avoid pollution and control global warming scenario. Many technologies have been in use for carbon capture, across the globe, some in large scale and others confined to local areas. It is expensive but very much essential – it is a goal set by WHO/UNO/European Commission – to clean the environment off CO2 gases, use it for alternative purposes or store it for future action. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), we must capture around 100 billion tons of CO2 by 2060 to meet International Global Warming and Energy goals. It is a huge goal and is a very expensive goal to achieve. All big countries who impact the environment in a huge way through their industries shall come forward for a collaboration to prepare a robust plan, pump-in money, monitor and control the processes, to achieve the goal. There is an estimate that US emitted around 5,1 mln t of CO2 in 2019 whereas Global estimate emitted around 33 mln t. These are very huge numbers and hence Global monitoring is very essential to control emission and safe storage and disposal. It is important to understand that Carbon Capture (CC), Carbon Capture and Use (CCU) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) are three different terms. CC, CCU and CCS are combinedly termed as CCUS. CC is to capture carbon from various sources – fuel gas, fossil fuels, petroleum products, flares from refineries and power plants etc. Usage of the captured carbon in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) is CCU and this is an important long-term vision by any government to ensure it is being used meaningful to avoid negative impact on climate. CCS is storage of the captured carbon quickly so that it does not impact the environment as a greenhouse gas and at the same time, it can be used later. Another term which is frequently used is Net Zero CO2. It is defined as follows: Any CO2 released into the atmosphere from a human activity shall be balanced by an equivalent amount being removed, either by nature-based solutions (including afforestation, reforestation or other changes in land use) or technological solutions that stores CO2 captured directly or indirectly, permanently. Net Zero CO2 is very important, unless this is achieved, CCUS goal cannot be achieved to control climate change.

In this study, coffee grounds (CGs) were selected as a precursor due to their abundance and cost-effectiveness compared with other biomass wastes.

These results suggest that boron doping is an effective strategy to optimize the pore structure and adsorption performance of biomass-derived porous carbon materials for CCS application.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/batteries11040158","authors":["Hyeon Hye Kim","Kay-Hyeok An","Byung-Joo Kim"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-17T06:53:46Z","doi":"10.3390/batteries11040158","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-008044570-0/50119-7","name":"Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) Oxyfuel Technology Summary","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-008044570-0/50119-7","authors":["Paul Hurst","Ivano Miracca"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2007-10-10T17:20:20Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-008044570-0/50119-7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acsami.9b19955.s001","name":"Multifunctional Carbon Aerogels with Hierarchical Anisotropic Structure Derived from Lignin and Cellulose Nanofibers for CO2 Capture and Energy Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.9b19955.s001","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-04-07T06:35:49Z","doi":"10.1021/acsami.9b19955.s001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-12-803581-8.11002-1","name":"Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Technology: Challenges to Implementation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-803581-8.11002-1","authors":["Zaharaddeen N.

Williamson and Paul Zakkour, Environmental Resources Management Ltd., originally prepared for the 2008 SPE International Conference on Health, Safety, and Environment in Oil and Gas Exploration and Production, Nice, France, 15-17 April. The paper has not been peer reviewed. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) represents a potentially useful tool to enable the European Union (EU) to manage its emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) as it transitions from a fossil-fuel to a renewables energy strategy. The full-length paper examines the regulatory requirements for effective operation of CCS by identifying the issues and risks associated with the capture, transport, and storage of CO2, and reviews the regulatory options available and their applicability to the operation, management, and control of CCS. Introduction CCS is a widely recognized opportunity to enable EU member states to lower emissions of CO2 by the capture of carbon from large-scale emitters (e.g., power stations) and provide for the long-term, safe storage of this material in underground reservoirs. The EU has set targets for member states to reduce their total volume of CO2 emissions by 20% of 1990 levels by the year 2020. Achieving these targets in the time scales involved by reducing overall energy consumption or by transferring generation capacity to noncarbon-emitting alternatives is not a feasible option, and, therefore, alternatives must be sought. While the EU will seek to provide a legislative framework that will enable and encourage the development of the infrastructure required to operate CCS effectively across its sphere of influence, there are particular challenges to be faced in drafting policy and regulation related to the unique nature of the CCS process. Approach The CCS process must be described and reviewed to outline the various technical tasks that must be carried out to achieve the goals of the process. In this case, there are three main areas that must be reviewed:CO2 capture.CO2 transport.CO2 storage. Each of these parts of the process represents varying health, safety, and environmental (HSE) risk profiles. Each of these areas has regulatory analogs in which similar or related processes are subject to current EU and member-state regulation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/0708-0087-jpt","authors":["Karen Bybee"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-02-20T15:27:03Z","doi":"10.2118/0708-0087-jpt","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-431302/v1","name":"A continuous-time stochastic model to study the abandonment strategy of carbon capture and storage project","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract We build a continuous-time stochastic real options model to study the abandonment strategy of carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.

Using optimal stopping time, we establish a free boundary for each time node over the entire CCS construction stage as a function of the market carbon price and the individual project's remaining total deployment investment. The boundary is to help the investors decide whether to keep investing or abandon the project. Numerical simulations based on Chinese data are conducted by applying the finite element method with the power penalty. Concerning a hypothetical CCS project with a remaining total deployment investment of 10 billion RMB, our projected critical carbon prices relevant to its decisions on CCS project in 2020 are, respectively, 137.27 RMB/ton CO2 (0.123 RMB/kW·h) and 104.14 RMB/ton CO2 (0.093 RMB/kW·h). Being well below either threshold, if the current price prevails in 2020, the private investors will have no incentive to keep investing in or operate the above CCS project.

We develop a new numerical model that predicts the performance of DAC units under representative atmospheric flow conditions which captures the interaction between these units and the instantaneous flow fields. A new boundary condition for the CO 2 concentration associated with the CO 2 -depleted exit plume was developed. This boundary condition dynamically calculates the time-varying fraction of CO 2 removed from the air (capture rate) and the total mass of CO 2 captured by the system per unit time (capture amount). We have also conducted experiments in a lab-scale DAC unit at different inlet air velocities. The experiment showed that both the CO 2 capture rate and the capture amount depend on the unit’s inlet airflow velocity. Specifically, the CO 2 capture rate decreases with an increase in unit inlet airflow velocity, while the CO 2 capture amount increases. These data were used to validate our computational fluid dynamics analysis using a large eddy simulation (LES) approach. After validating the new boundary condition model with experimental data in still air, the LES simulations were extended to include the interaction of atmospheric boundary layer wind with individual DAC units. The CO 2 capture rate and capture amount are almost constant in still air, whilst they strongly fluctuate for wind speeds above 7 m/s. The amplitude of these fluctuations grows with increasing wind velocity. The LES results showed that when the wind velocity increased, both the CO 2 capture rate and the overall mean CO 2 capture amount of an individual DAC unit were reduced. In strong winds of 9 m/s, the total CO 2 mass removal was reduced by up to 7.5 % ± 6.5 % over one year. The new boundary condition model can more accurately predict the overall CO 2 capture characteristics of large-scale DAC plants in complex real environmental conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100545","authors":["Esmaeel Eftekharian","Ali Kiani","Vassili Kitsios","Ashok K.

This work, inspired by vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB), introduces an integrated electrochemical process for carbon capture and energy storage. It utilizes established vanadium and ferricyanide redox couples for pH modulation for CO2 desorption and absorbent regeneration. The developed process consumes electricity during the daytime—when renewable electricity is available—to desorb CO2 and charge the cell, and it can regenerate the absorbent for further CO2 absorption while releasing electricity to the grid during nighttime when solar power is unavailable. This research explores the process fundamentals and scalability potential, through an extensive study of the system's thermodynamics, transport phenomena, kinetics, and bench-scale operations. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was utilized to study the thermodynamics of the process, mapping the redox profiles to identify ideal potential windows for operation. The CV results pinpointed a 0.3 V Nernstian overpotential as the thermodynamic minimum required for cell operation. Additionally, polarization studies were conducted to select the practical operating potential, identifying 0.5 V as optimal for the CO2 desorption cycle to provide sufficient polarity to overcome activation barriers in addition to the Nernstian potential. Mass transfer analysis balanced conductivity and desorption efficiency, with a 1:1 ratio identified as optimal for redox-active species and background electrolyte concentration. To further enhance the kinetics of the redox reactions, plasma treatment of electrode surfaces was implemented, resulting in a 43% decrease in charge transfer resistance, as measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis. Finally, a bench-scale operation of the system demonstrated an energy consumption of 54 kJ/mol CO2, which is competitive with other electrochemical carbon capture technologies. Besides its energy competitiveness, the process offers multiple additional advantages, including the elimination of precious metal electrodes, oxygen insensitivity in flue gas, scalability inspired by VRFB technology, and the unique ability to function as a battery during the absorbent regeneration process, enabling efficient day-night operation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-4770270/v1","authors":["Mohammad (Mim) Rahimi","Mohsen Afshari","Abdelrahman Refaie","Prince Aleta","Ahmad Hassan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-16T04:33:26Z","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4770270/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/464160c","name":"Barriers to carbon capture and storage may not be obvious","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/464160c","authors":["Frances Bowen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2010-03-09T15:03:44Z","doi":"10.1038/464160c","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5006/c2026-00169","name":"Materials and Corrosion Experience in Quest Carbon Capture and Storage Wells","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Quest Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an operating CO2 capture facility near Edmonton, Alberta.

Sparked by early commercial investment, the EERC licensed the technology and extended the intellectual property to storage tanks. Polar Bear™ is uniquely engineered and adapted to individual lower-producing facilities where there is otherwise no economic alternative for capturing tank vapors. A high number of small producing oil and gas wells are distributed across the country. The aggregate contributes to a significant volume of emissions. Because of the lack of economy of scale, gas volumes from these facilities are typically not recovered and contribute to methane emissions. Polar Bear™ provides a fit-for-purpose compression solution that addresses cost by reducing complexity with respect to conventional vapor recovery units and eliminating oil changes. Unique to Polar Bear™ is the capability to separate oxygenated gas from storage tank vapors. Storage tanks are designed to “breathe,” allowing gas to enter and escape during internal level and temperature changes. This infiltration of air into the tank headspace imparts undesirable oxygen content with respect to pipeline gathering. Polar Bear™ separates the vapor stream, allowing oxygen-rich gas to be used as fuel on-site while recovering the liquids-rich portion of the gas where oxygen content is minimized. A prototype system was tested to verify process models, evaluate operational performance, and advance the technology readiness level from 5 to 6. Results provide a good match between experimental measurements and process models, indicating the models are useful for future scale-up and field design. Various mixtures of nitrogen and liquefied petroleum gas were tested to understand the mass balance of nitrogen and how it relates to the potential control of oxygen content. Findings indicate that less than 2000 ppm of oxygen is likely to remain in the liquid portion of the gas in field applications. The research and development prepare the technology for field implementation to eliminate routine and fugitive methane emissions from storage tanks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/2574385","authors":["Darren Schmidt","Alyssa Regorrah","Youcef Khetib","Bradley Stevens"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-13T15:39:41Z","doi":"10.2172/2574385","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2118/0606-0036-jpt","name":"Technology Tomorrow: The Chemistry of Carbon Capture and Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"Editor's note: This is the third installment of a yearlong series designed to stimulate discussion in research and development.

Comments on articles in the Technology Tomorrow series are welcome. Please send any questions, comments, or ideas to vik.rao@halliburton.com. Evidence linking anthropogenic carbon emissions with climate change is accepted by many experts, and the key challenge now is to act to avert disaster. Countries signed on to the Kyoto Protocol and those that have set more stringent domestic targets are now defining energy policies that balance energy efficiency and energy technologies alongside measures for energy security. In the U.K., the government is currently reviewing its energy policy and is examining a range of policy and technological measures that will secure clean and affordable energy for the long term while meeting the U.K. target of reducing carbon emissions 60% by 2050 (based on 1990 levels). It is widely expected that the U.K. will continue to rely upon fossil fuels for electricity, transportation, and heating for the foreseeable future, and, therefore, it is important that carbon-abatement technologies are employed when feasible. The chemical sciences have played a crucial role in optimizing energy output from fossil fuels through developments in areas such as combustion chemistry and fuel additives. The chemical sciences will be critical in providing future energy technologies such as batteries, fuel cells, solar power, microgeneration, energy-efficient lighting, new nuclear power and nuclear waste management, and carbon capture and storage (CCS). CCS is not a new technology. In fact, there are a number of examples of its application around the globe (e.g., in ammonia production). It has been predicted that CCS technologies could reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants (and other energy-intensive processes such as oil refining and steel and cement manufacturing) by up to 85%. However, the technology will reduce the energy efficiency of power plants significantly and increase the cost of energy production, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Table 1).","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/0606-0036-jpt","authors":["Richard Pike"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-02-20T16:28:17Z","doi":"10.2118/0606-0036-jpt","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-2260548/v1","name":"Reimagining tonne-year accounting to capture the climate benefit of temporary carbon storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Nature-based climate solutions have the potential to contribute to climate mitigation, but the vulnerability of land carbon to disturbances means that any efforts to slow or reverse land carbon losses will likely result in only temporary storage. Tonne-year accounting, which integrates the amount of carbon over the time that it remains stored, has been proposed as a method to measure the value of temporary relative to permanent carbon storage. Here we show that using tonne-year accounting to establish an equivalency of temporary with permanent storage is not grounded in climate science. However, a reimagined approach to tonne-year accounting could be effectively used as a metric to track the contribution of temporary carbon storage towards climate mitigation goals. We show that in a scenario where the total number of tonne-years accumulates at a constant or increasing rate, this results in a sustained or increasing climate benefit. However, as the rate of accumulation of tonne-years slows, this temperature benefit is eroded, and is lost completely when tonne-years stop increasing. This implies that if the world is able to sustain an increasing number of tonne-years alongside achieving net-zero fossil fuel CO2 emissions, then the resulting carbon storage (even if only temporary) would contribute to lowering peak temperature. Tonne-years of temporary carbon storage therefore have considerable climate value, not if treated interchangeably with permanent storage or fossil fuel emissions, but rather if quantified as an independent contribution to lowering the global temperature peak.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-2260548/v1","authors":["H.

Indonesia, as a member of the Kyoto Protocol, plans to reduce CO2 emissions to 26% in 2020. Carbon capture storage (CCS) is one of the technologies to reduce emission and enhanced hydrocarbon recovery.

The Northwest Java Field is a back-arc field which consists of many reservoirs-such as Talangakar Formation sandstones, a carbonate reef of Baturaja Formation, carbonate of Upper Cibulakan Formation, and carbonates of Parigi Formation. The most promising formation in Northwest Java field is the Parigi formation.East Natuna Field has similar characteristics with North Java Field, therefore might be suitable also for CO2 injection storage.

Existing studies tend to focus on plant sizes that are orders-of-magnitude larger than early-stage installations, possibly underestimating CCS costs for small-to-medium biorefineries.

In principle, carbon capture and storage (CCS) could provide reduction of greenhouse gases and therefore should be considered. However, since CCS is neither a proven commercial technology nor is it mandated (as of yet), it seems that requiring consideration now is confusing at best. EPA guidance states that permit applicants and permitting authorities should consider all \"available\" GHG control options that have the potential for practical application to the source under consideration. The guidance further suggests that once permitting authorities gain experience with GHG BACT determinations, useful information on GHG permitting decisions will be presented. The expression of regulatory decisions and permitting based on \"future tense\" terms makes planning, operational, and strategic decisions very difficult for the electric generation sector. This paper will endeavor to discuss and navigate specific details in the PSD requirements for power generation as they apply to carbon capture and storage. Introduction Under revisions to the Clean Air Act, beginning on January 2, 20101, any emission source that is required to obtain or modify a prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) or Title V permit must now consider greenhouse gases (GHGs) as an emission source. New major stationary sources or modifications under the Clean Air Act, new source review (NSR) and national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) respectively, must obtain a permit under the PSD provisions. This means that power plants must now consider carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as part of the permitting, construction, modification, and operations of the facility. The process to determine what technologies are most applicable under PSD for a facility is known as best available control technology, or BACT, analysis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7122/150981-ms","authors":["Steven M.

Effective monitoring of CO 2 impurities is essential for maintaining system integrity and ensuring regulatory compliance across the CCUS chain. However, no standardized approach for impurity monitoring currently exists, and specifications vary depending on the project and transport method. This study identifies key stages in the CCUS process where impurity monitoring is critical. The impurity thresholds defined by the Northern Lights and Porthos projects are assessed in terms of corrosion mitigation, minimization of energy requirements, protection of human and environmental safety, and preservation of storage integrity. A conceptual framework is proposed to underscore the importance of CO 2 quality compliance at points of ownership handover, where decisions are determined based on measured impurity concentrations. The evaluation of impurities shows that impurities can significantly impact transport safety, efficiency, and storage performance, justifying the need for defined concentration limits. The findings suggest a risk-informed monitoring approach, where the frequency and precision of measurement are guided by the potential impact of each impurity, with H 2 O highlighted as a critical case requiring high-frequency monitoring. A comparative analysis of available sensing technologies reveals that no single method can detect all impurities listed in the CO 2 specifications. Instead, a combined monitoring strategy is proposed to meet specification requirements. As CCUS deployment accelerates, effective impurity monitoring will be essential to support regulatory compliance, taxation frameworks, operational control, and the development of secure and scalable CO 2 transport networks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100453","authors":["Kenneth René Simonsen","Dennis Severin Hansen","Simon Pedersen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-09T12:04:25Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100453","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100367","name":"Recent innovations in spinel oxide-based catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to olefins","source":"crossref","abstract":"With the increased urgency for reducing CO2 emissions, CO2 capture and hydrogenation into hydrocarbons stands out as a promising approach. This review highlights recent advancements in the evaluation of spinel oxide-based catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation into olefins, covering un-doped, doped, and bi-functional spinel oxide-based catalysts. The effect of catalyst composition and promotion on catalytic performance is thoroughly discussed. Among the various spinel oxides, Fe3O4 and K-ZnFe2O4 have shown promising performance, exhibiting 43 % and 46.7 % CO2 conversion, respectively, and 41.5 % and 68.9 % selectivity towards olefins, respectively. Bi-functional catalysts combining spinel oxides with SAPO-34 have shown enhanced olefins selectivity up to 87 % and low methane formation. Bi-functional zinc-based spinel catalysts were shown to outperform bi-functional magnesium-based spinel catalysts, due to their better ability to activate hydrogen and the balance between basicity and reducibility. However, despite improved olefins selectivity, CO2 conversion remains low (13–14 %), highlighting the need for further optimization. This review also provides a comprehensive analysis of the active sites responsible for catalysis, and the proposed mechanisms for CO2 hydrogenation. The mechanism of CO2 hydrogenation over spinel oxide catalysts is strongly influenced by the catalyst composition. The two main proposed pathways are: i) the redox mechanism (such as on ZnFe2O4), and ii) the formate mechanism (such as on ZnAl2O4/SAPO-34). In this review, challenges such as achieving higher CO2 conversion and olefins selectivity, enhancing catalyst stability, and understanding the underlying reaction mechanisms are discussed.

The proposed process employs established vanadium (VO 2 + / VO 2+ ) and ferricyanide (Fe(CN) 6 3− / Fe(CN) 6 4− ) redox couples to induce proton-driven modulation of solution pH, facilitating CO₂ capture and release via electrochemical pH-swing. The key advantage of this process is its potential dual functionality: it could capture CO 2 and store energy when renewable electricity is abundant and regenerate the absorbent while releasing the stored energy to grid during periods of limited renewable generation. The initial phase of the study focused on the fundamental electrochemical principles and operational viability of the process through bench-scale experimentation. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was performed to isolate desired proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions of vanadium while preventing parasitic or undesired redox reactions, particularly those involving lower oxidation states of vanadium. Using polarization curve analysis, an optimal practical potential of 0.5 V was determined to overcome kinetic and ohmic losses. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to study the redox kinetics, highlighting significant performance improvements achieved through plasma treatment of graphite electrode surfaces. This treatment decreased the contact angle, increased hydrophilicity, and improved wettability, thereby enhancing electrochemical surface activity. Consequently, a 43% reduction in charge transfer resistance was achieved, enhancing current density and reaction kinetics. Additionally, comprehensive mass transfer studies established an optimized electrolyte composition consisting of a balanced 1:1 ratio of redox-active species to background electrolyte due to the trade-off between electrical conductivity and Faradaic efficiency. Bench-scale experiments demonstrated reversible system operation, achieving an energy consumption of approximately 54 kJ/mol CO 2 —comparable or superior to existing electrochemical capture methods reported in the literature. Additionally, the reversibility of the developed process was studied by its operation over multiple charge and discharge cycles. A detailed thermodynamic modeling effort was also carried out to support experimental observations and serve as the backbone of techno-economic analysis (TEA). The process modeling included four stages: 1-CO 2 absorption using potassium carbonate (H 2 CO 3 ) in the absorber, 2-electrochemical acidification during the charge cycle, 3-CO 2 outgassing in the flash tank, and 4-electrochemical absorbent regeneration during the discharge cycle. Equilibrium speciation analysis of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) species, including bicarbonate (HCO 3 − ), carbonate (CO 3 2− ), and carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3 ), was studied because of proton concentration modulation on the carbon capture process at different states of charge (SOC). The model revealed a substantial increase in CO 2 partial pressure during proton-driven acidification, confirming the strong driving force for gas-phase CO 2 desorption upon pH reduction. Furthermore, modeling outcomes guided the optimization of electrolyte concentrations and identified critical operational parameters influencing overall system performance, such as SOC, cell potential and redox speciation control within electrolytes. Complementing the experimental proof-of-concept studies, an extensive techno-economic analysis (TEA) was performed to evaluate the economic feasibility and potential commercial scalability of the technology. The TEA utilized detailed cost and performance metrics from commercially available VRFB literature, addressing a common limitation in ECC research due to the low technology readiness levels (TRL) and associated scarcity of accurate scaled-up cost data.

The commercialization of recovered CO 2 has been investigated for reducing the overall system operating costs. This study investigated a combined solid oxide fuel cell CO 2 utilization system that employed green hydrogen methanolation and methanation to facilitate the use of the CO 2 captured by the system. CO 2 was separated from the exhaust gas of the system, captured, stored, and used through methanation and methanolation. Consequently, the synthesized methane was used for solid oxide fuel cell power generation, and the synthesized methanol was sold. The discounted cash flow method was employed to evaluate the economic performance of the proposed system. At a unit price of 0.7–0.9 USD/kWh for electricity sold, rated outputs of 1250 and 390 MW for solid oxide fuel cell combined cycle and photovoltaics, respectively, carbon capture and storage equipment cost of 800 USD/kWh, and discount rate of 0.3 %, the simple integrated payback period was obtained as 9 years whereas the dynamic payback period was 11–30 years.

In order to compare storage resource/capacity estimates, both the scale of the estimate and the type of estimate must be considered. To date, the classification of resources and commodities has been used almost exclusively for valuable materials that can be economically extracted from the subsurface, e.g., hydrocarbons, metal ore, coal, etc. These industries have benefited from the establishment of classification systems with consistent terms and definitions that have gained international acceptance and allow for systematic accounting and comparison of resources across geological, geographical, and jurisdictional boundaries. As the carbon capture and storage (CCS) industry grows, there is increasing need for an accepted classification system that describes the available CO2 storage resource. While the classification systems used in the mining and hydrocarbon industries have elements that are instructive and sometimes indirectly applicable with respect to CO2, the direct application of those systems is largely insufficient. This is because, in the context of geological CO2 storage, the desired resource is not something to be removed from a subsurface reservoir but rather the accessible pore volume of the reservoir itself. Although much work has been accomplished, particularly by the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in the Carbon Sequestration Atlas of the United States and Canada, inconsistencies in definitions related to CCS exist between groups, and a widely accepted set of definitions for discussing CO2 storage resource and capacity has not yet been established. In order to move the CCS industry toward a useful set of definitions and provide a consistent set of terms, an improved classification system has been developed to not only address the level of the assessment but also the scale at which the assessment was made.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/126421-ms","authors":["Charles D.

Variations in pressure and temperature gradients, caused by complex reservoir conditions and burial depth, inevitably induce CO 2 phase transitions. This study proposes a non-isothermal hydro-thermal model to simulate CO 2 phase transitions in fractured porous media. The interphase heat transfer is achieved in this model. CO 2 leakage along fault is simulated to explore the pressure and temperature distribution and phase transition mechanism. Results show that CO 2 leakage progression can be divided into two stages dominated by pressure and temperature, respectively. Phase transition induces pressure drops and temperature declines during leakage. In the pressure-dominated stage, as the pressure difference between reservoir and the fault decreases, the leakage flux decreases sharply. The liquid CO 2 converts back to gaseous phase in the temperature-dominant stage, and this gasification process has a negative effect on the leakage. The sensitivity analysis indicates that CO 2 leakage temperature determines the type of phase transition but has a limited impact on leakage mass flux. The reservoir overpressure and fault aperture affect the extent and duration of the pressure-dominant phase transition, respectively. Moreover, the increases in overpressure and fault aperture further lead to higher leakage mass flux. Therefore, it is recommended that monitoring wells be preferentially deployed in areas characterized by high overpressure and large fault aperture, enabling early warning and targeted risk control in CCUS projects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2025.103193","authors":["Haitao Yu","Gai Zhang","Xiao Yan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-18T08:54:20Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jcou.2025.103193","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z"},{"id":"doi:10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-2f9z0","name":"Energy-enhanced aqueous organic flow batteries enabled by integrated proton-coupled electron transfer-induced carbon capture and utilization","source":"crossref","abstract":"Aqueous organic redox flow batteries offer a safe, scalable, and potentially cost-effective solution for storing massive electricity from intermittent renewables.

Desorption is an important issue in recovery of many shale plays. Although a large amount of gas in place comes from adsorbed gas, ultra tight matrix and high bottom hole pressure may not allow this gas be produced. In this paper, an integrated workflow is described, which demonstrates a quantitative platform for shale gas production optimization through capturing the essential characteristics of shale gas reservoirs. Because organic matter has a greater sorption affinity for CO2 than methane, a comprehensive feasibility study has been performed to evaluate the applicability and significance of CO2 injection (with simultaneous production of methane) on expedition of desorption process and also CO2 sequestration in shale. Modeling of complex fracture networks is a very important step in simulation of shale reservoirs. Discrete fracture network (DFN) models can be used to generate and validate multiple realizations for a quantitative measure of uncertainty. A 3-D discrete fracture network using typical shale properties was generated stochastically, based on different realizations (homogenous and heterogeneous fracture properties). The complex DFNs were upscaled in order to simulate fluid flow through the system. In addition, hydraulic fractures were introduced to the model. Sensitivity analysis has been performed on key matrix and fracture properties for both natural and hydraulic fractures. Numerical simulation was performed using appropriate gridding (logarithmic local grid refinement around the hydraulic fractures) and, in order to capture long transient gas flow from matrix to fracture, multi porosity model with matrix sub grids has been employed. This step was followed by a history matching process and the fracture and reservoir properties were varied within a range that appears consistent with actual typical shale gas well performance. One model, which gave a better approximation of the actual production profile, was selected for CO2 injection study. In order to understand the economic effect of matrix swelling on permeability and injectivity in the presence of CO2, different injection strategies (patterns, injection time interval and rate) were defined in order to recommend the best scenario for maximum and economic recovery.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139701-ms","authors":["A.

Developing scalable modeling and decision tools for the H2supply chain that fully capture the flexibility of various resources is essential to understanding the overall cost-competitiveness of H2use. Here, we develop a H2supply chain planning model that determines the least-cost mix of H2generation, storage, transmission, and compression facilities to meet H2demands and is coupled with power systems through electricity prices. We incorporate flexible scheduling for H2trucks and pipeline, allowing them to serve as both H2transmission and storage resources to shift H2demand/production across space and time. The proposed model provides a reasonable trade-off between modeling accuracy and computational time, with linear relaxations for truck inventory routing and H2production unit commitment. The case study results in the U.S. Northeast indicate that the proposed flexible scheduling of H2transmission and storage resources is critical not only to cost minimization but also to the choice of H2production pathways between electrolysis and natural gas based production. Trucks as mobile storage could make intermittent electrolytic H2production more competitive by providing extra spatiotemporal flexibility.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/tste.2021.3064015","authors":["Guannan He","Dharik S.

Conventional remediation approaches, such as using ordinary Portland cement (OPC) or lime are limited due to high CO2 emissions, energy consumption, and natural resource consumption. This paper proposes a sustainable method using CO2 and a waste from steel production (ladle slag, LS) for rapid remediation of Cr and Zn-contaminated soils. Contaminated soils spiked by Cr and Zn with various initial concentrations were treated with 10% LS and subjected to conventional and CO2 curing for different periods. The results demonstrated that LS with conventional curing could reduce leaching concentrations of Cr and Zn in contaminated soils. However, it necessitated 28 days to meet the criteria of inert waste and drinking water standards. In contrast, LS with CO2 curing required significantly less time (32 h for Cr and 8 h for Zn) to achieve lower leaching concentrations of Cr and Zn than those with 28-day conventional curing. After CO2 curing for 152 h for Cr- and 80–120 h for Zn-contaminated soils, leaching concentrations of Cr and Zn were 1.5–4 times and 6–72 times lower than those with 28-day conventional curing, respectively. Simultaneously, carbon capture was increased from 10.6% to 17.5% and 19.9%, respectively, with the initial Cr and Zn concentrations increased from 0 to 8000 mg/kg. The strength of Cr- and Zn-contaminated soils with CO2 curing also effectively enhanced up to around 3.3–3.6 times and 1.3–3.3 times higher than those with 28-day conventional curing, respectively.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2024.102738","authors":["Bo Xu","Xinlei Sun","Vivian George","Yaolin Yi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-20T23:48:00Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jcou.2024.102738","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.577Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2118/139635-ms","name":"Quantifying the Risk of CO2 Leakage Through Wellbores","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Leakage through new or existing wellbores is considered a major risk for carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage. Long-term effective containment of CO2 is required and the presence of millions of suspended or abandoned wells exacerbates the potential risk in mature hydrocarbon provinces. Accurate estimates of risk profiles can support the acceptance of geological storage and the adoption of economically effective risk prevention and mitigation measures. Reliable data about long-term containment of CO2 is almost non-existent, so wells that exhibit a similar risk profile (such as gas storage, gas production and steam injection) should be used as proxy to assess failure rates and consequences for cemented wellbores. Statistical data about occurrence of leaks and their consequences are analyzed to determine the risk profile of CO2 leaks. A smaller sample of data about leak rates is also analyzed to provide their statistical distribution. Rates and consequences are then compared to try and assess the order of magnitude of major and catastrophic leaks. Hydrothermal CO2 leaks in natural analogs are also reviewed to compare the distribution of leak rates and the consequences on health, safety and environment of CO2 releases to soil and atmosphere. Analysis of existing data will show that major leaks are likely to occur in less than 2 wells per 1,000, with the overwhelming majority of CO2 leaks being small and with limited or negligible consequences. Given their risk profile, CO2 wellbore leaks should be addressed through a routine risk management approach. Their frequent occurrence requires effective prevention measures, such as understanding leaks and adapting and deploying practices to minimize their occurrence. On the other hand, their low impact ensures maximum effectiveness of mitigation measures, such as monitoring: since leaks can be detected long before damage ensues, they can be observed to predict their long-term consequences and to plan the most effective intervention without unnecessary immediate operation shut-downs. In conclusion, the recommended course of action is to focus on risk prevention and early detection. This implies the evolution from a \"no leaks\" attitude (even for negligible leak consequences) to one that seeks no damage and relies on tight surveillance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139635-ms","authors":["M.

Several recent reports have highlighted the scale of the challenge, drawing on scenarios of climate change mitigation and their implications for the projected consumption of fossil fuels. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a critical and available mitigation opportunity and its contribution to timely and cost-effective decarbonisation of the energy system is widely recognised.

This paper presents a critical review focusing on the technologies that can be applied to enable access to, or ‘unlock’, fossil fuel reserves in a way that will meet climate targets and mitigate climate change.

The most effective method for analyzing the intricate thermal dynamics of an existing building is through transient simulation, utilizing real-world weather data. This approach offers a far more nuanced understanding than static calculations, which often fail to capture the dynamic interplay of environmental factors and building performance. Transient simulations, by their nature, model the building’s thermal behavior over time, reflecting the continuous fluctuations in temperature, solar radiation, and wind speed. Leveraging actual meteorological data enables the simulation model to faithfully capture system dynamics under realistic operational scenarios. This is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, identifying potential energy inefficiencies, and assessing the impact of various energy-saving measures. The simulation can reveal how the building’s thermal mass absorbs and releases heat, how solar gains influence indoor temperatures, and how ventilation patterns affect heat losses. In this paper, a household heating system consisting of an air source heat pump, PV, and buffer tank is simulated and analyzed. The 3D model accurately represents the building’s geometry and thermal properties. This virtual representation serves as the basis for calculating heat losses and gains, considering factors such as insulation levels, window characteristics, and building orientation. The approach is based on the calculation of building heat load based on a 3D model and EN ISO 52016-1 standard. The heat load is modeled based on air temperature and sun irradiance. The heating system is modeled in EBSILON professional 16.00 software for the calculation of transient 10 min time step heat production during the heating season. The results prove that a buffer tank with the right heat production control system can efficiently increase the auto consumption of self-produced PV electric energy, leading to a reduction in environmental effects and higher economic profitability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18092325","authors":["Jakub Szymiczek","Krzysztof Szczotka","Piotr Michalak"],"tags":["Consumption (sociology)","Heat pump","Environmental science","Thermal energy storage","Power consumption"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18092325","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.972Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.972Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402718000","name":"Towards a unified carbon accounting landscape","source":"openalex","abstract":"The overarching purpose of carbon accounting is to reduce carbon emissions to meet net-zero targets and minimize the impact of climate change.

It is shown that unencapsulated super-repellent CPSCs have superior performance under continuous droplet impact for 12 h (rain falling experiments) compared to unencapsulated pristine (uncoated) CPSCs that degrade within seconds. Contrary to falling water droplets, where super-repellent coating serves as a shield, water vapor is found to physisorb through porous super-repellent coating (room temperature and relative humidity, RH 65% and 85%) that increase the CPSCs performance for 21% during ≈43 d similarly to pristine CPSCs. It is further shown that water condensation forms within or below the super-repellent coating (40 °C and RH 85%), followed by chemisorption and degradation of CPSCs. Because different forms of water have distinct effects on CPSC, it is suggested that future standard tests for repellent CPSCs should include rain falling and condensate formation tests.

This review explores emerging and transformative technologies that align with carbon sequestration and sustainable land use. Novel approaches such as biochar production via pyrolysis, CaO-based stabilization to form calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), and phosphorus recovery through struvite precipitation are emphasized for their dual roles in climate mitigation and enhancing soil fertility. Other innovative techniques, including hydrothermal carbonization and microbial stabilization, have been examined for their ability to stabilize carbon in persistent forms. This study highlights the novelty of combining carbon sequestration with nutrient recycling, which enables long-term environmental benefits. Biochar and Ca-based fertilizers demonstrate exceptional potential for integrating carbon capture with soil enhancement, whereas struvite offers an effective pathway for nutrient recovery. Environmental trade-offs—such as greenhouse gas emissions during treatment, potential contaminant risks, and energy demands—are assessed alongside the benefits of reduced synthetic fertilizer dependence, improved soil health, and carbon sequestration. Life cycle assessment (LCA) and economic analyses confirm the feasibility and sustainability of these technologies. This comprehensive review advances the understanding of innovative sewage sludge treatments, offering a framework for integrating carbon-negative solutions into waste management practices.

Since 2022, Denmark has stepped up site characterization at five suitable onshore locations for this purpose with a particular focus on four-way domal structures. A dual-element recording system incorporating landstreamer and wireless recorders was innovated and upscaled in a cost- and time-effective way for this purpose at the Rødby structure (one of the five sites). The dual-element recording allows a better imaging of the near-surface structures but also because of its broadband nature, it helps to retain higher resolution for imaging toplap structures and smaller faults in the area. The landstreamer data better image fault structures offsetting the Bunter Sandstone Formation, which is the primary reservoir, and the overlying geological seals such as Fjerritslev, Ørslev and Falster Formations. The Vedsted Formation, which a secondary seal in the region, appears unfaulted in the landstreamer data. The landstreamer data also reveal glacial valleys, near the surface, which are a source of groundwater. The two complementary datasets, from the landstreamer and nodal data, help to de-risk geological carbon storage in Denmark and is a solution we recommend to be adapted for onshore sites elsewhere in the world specially where the logistical acquisition challenges are not significant.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-96012-8","authors":["Alireza Malehmir","Magdalena Markovic","Tanni Abramovitz","Ulrik Gregersen"],"tags":["Geology","Carbon fibers","Dual (grammatical number)","Characterization (materials science)","Remote sensing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-96012-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.972Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401914903","name":"Buckypaper made with carbon nanotubes derived from CO 2","source":"openalex","abstract":"using either crushed or chemically washed GNCs, epoxy-infused CNTs, or GNCs pressed directly using a hot electrolyte to remove excess electrolyte.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d4ra04358h","authors":["Gad Licht","Kyle Hofstetter","Stuart Licht"],"tags":["Buckypaper","Carbon nanotube","Materials science","Carbon fibers","Nanotechnology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d4ra04358h","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.972Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.972Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404048409","name":"Exploring Geometric Properties and Cycle Design in Packed Bed and Monolith Contactors Using Temperature-Vacuum Swing Adsorption Modeling for Direct Air Capture","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide This study presents a comprehensive comparison between the packed bed and monolith contactor configurations for direct air capture (DAC) via process modeling of a temperature-vacuum swing adsorption (TVSA) process. We investigate various design parameters to optimize performance across different contactor geometries, including pellet size, monolith wall thickness, active sorbent content in monoliths, and packed bed structure configurations, considering both a traditional long column (PB 40 ) and multiple shorter columns configured in parallel (PB 5 ). Our parametric analysis assesses specific exergy consumption, sorbent, and volume requirements across different operating conditions of a five-step TVSA cycle. For minimizing sorbent requirements, PB 5 and monoliths with over 80% sorbent loading were the best-performing contactor designs with overlapping performance in the low-exergy region. Beyond this region, PB 5 faced limitations in reducing sorbent requirements further and was constrained by a maximum velocity at which it is sensible to operate without substantially increasing the exergy demand. In contrast, monoliths decreased sorbent requirements with minimal exergy increase due to reduced mass transfer resistances and lower pressure drop associated with their thin walls. The analysis of volume requirement-specific exergy Pareto fronts revealed that PB 5 was less competitive with this metric due to the requirements for additional void space in the contactor configuration. The study also revealed that optimal sorbent loading for reducing volume requirements in monoliths differed from those minimizing sorbent usage, with the most effective loading being below 100%. Thus, the optimal contactor design varies depending on the goals of minimizing sorbent and volume requirements, and the choice and design of the contactor will depend on the relative costs of these factors. Lastly, our findings challenge the assumption that higher velocities are always preferable for direct air capture, suggesting instead that the operating velocity depends on the contactor configuration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.4c02303","authors":["Valentina Stampi-Bombelli","Marco Mazzotti"],"tags":["Monolith","Contactor","Swing","Adsorption","Packed bed"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.4c02303","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.972Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.972Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401647049","name":"Co/Cd-MOF-Derived Porous Carbon Materials for Moxifloxacin Adsorption from Aqueous Solutions","source":"openalex","abstract":"In this study, Co/Cd-MOFs were synthesized via a solvothermal method.

This article analyses the treatment of mineralization under the CCS Directive and the EU Emissions Trading System. It finds that the recent guidance by the European Commission allows the CCS Directive to cover in situ mineralization.

Based on analysis of the internal logic and operation of the forcing mechanism of CEPT, we employed the STIRPAT model.

The results showed that the setting of CEPT will have a significant suppression effect on high-carbon emission industries and a strong boosting effect on low-carbon emission industries. The intensity of the effect is positively correlated with the target intensity of the CO2 emissions peak.

Nevertheless, comprehensive understanding of how water use efficiency (WUE), gross primary production (GPP), and actual evapotranspiration (AET)-induced water losses respond to exceptional drought and whether the responses are influenced by drought severity (DS) is still limited. Herein, we assess the fluctuation in the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) over the Middle East from 1982 to 2017 to detect the drought events and further examine standardized anomalies of GPP, WUE, and AET responses to multiyear exceptional droughts, which are separated into five groups designed to characterize the severity of extreme drought. The intensification of the five drought events (based on its DS) increased the WUE, decreased the GPP and AET from D5 to D1, where both the positive and negative variance among the DS group was statistically significant. The results showed that the positive values of standardized WUE with the corresponding values of the negative GPP and AET were dominant (44.3% of the study area), where the AET values decreased more than the GPP, and the WUE fluctuation in this region is mostly controlled by physical processes, i.e., evaporation. Drought’s consequences on ecosystem carbon-water interactions ranged significantly among eco-system types due to the unique hydrothermal conditions of each biome. Our study indicates that forthcoming droughts, along with heightened climate variability, pose increased risks to semi-arid and sub-humid ecosystems, potentially leading to biome restructuring, starting with low-productivity, water-sensitive grasslands. Our assessment of WUE enhances understanding of water-carbon cycle linkages and aids in projecting ecosystem responses to climate change.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/rs16071179","authors":["Karam Alsafadi","Bashar Bashir","Safwan Mohammed","Hazem Ghassan Abdo","Ali Mokhtar","Abdullah Alsalman","Wenzhi Cao"],"tags":["Environmental science","Ecosystem","Climatology","Geology","Ecology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/rs16071179","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.972Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.972Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411077728","name":"Towards carbon neutrality in tourism: pathways and future research directions","source":"openalex","abstract":"Achieving carbon neutrality (CN) in tourism is essential for mitigating climate change, yet existing literature provides limited guidance on effective pathways.

However, the impact of drought may be modified by the mean climatic conditions to which the soil microbiome has previously been exposed. In a future warmer and drier world, effects of drought may therefore differ from those observed in studies that simulate drought under current climatic conditions. To investigate this, we used the field experiment ‘Hohenheim Climate Change,’ an arable field where predicted drier and warmer mean climatic conditions had been simulated for 12 years. In April 2021, we exposed this agroecosystem to 8 weeks of drought with subsequent rewetting. Before drought, at peak drought, and after rewetting, we pulse‐labelled winter wheat in situ with 13 CO 2 to trace recently assimilated C from plants to soil microorganisms and back to the atmosphere. Severe drought decreased soil respiration (−35%) and abundance of gram‐positive bacteria (−15%) but had no effect on gram‐negative bacteria, fungi, and total microbial biomass C. This pattern was not affected by the mean precipitation regime to which the microbes had been pre‐exposed. Reduced mean precipitation had, however, a legacy effect by decreasing the proportion of recently assimilated C allocated to the microbial biomass C pool (−50%). Apart from that, continuous soil warming was an important driver of C fluxes throughout our experiment, increasing plant biomass, root sugar concentration, labile C, and respiration. Warming also shifted microorganisms toward utilizing soil organic matter as a C source instead of recently assimilated compounds. Our study found that moderate shifts in mean precipitation patterns can impose a legacy on how plant‐derived C is allocated in the microbial biomass of a temperate agroecosystem during drought. The overarching effect of soil warming, however, suggests that how temperate agroecosystems respond to drought will mainly be affected by future temperature increases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70070","authors":["Vinzent Leyrer","Juliet A.

However, the inherent intermittency of renewable energy sources mandates efficient harvesting mechanisms and advanced storage technologies to ensure uninterrupted energy availability. Thus, optimizing energy generation and storage systems is imperative for maximizing renewable energy utilization and advancing carbon neutrality. Biochar-based phase change materials (PCMs) emerge as a viable solution, simultaneously enhancing thermal energy storage efficiency and contributing to carbon sequestration. This study synthesizes biochar-based PCM composites using Neem (Azadirachta indica) seed-derived biochar, produced at two distinct pyrolysis temperatures (300 °C and 500 °C), and impregnated with lauric acid (LA). Comprehensive characterization through BET surface area analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM–EDS, DSC, and TGA evaluated the structural, chemical, and thermal properties of the composites. The biochar pyrolyzed at 500 °C exhibits a significantly higher surface area (668 m 2 /g), facilitating enhanced PCM loading. FT-IR analysis confirmed the successful impregnation of LA while preserving its molecular structure, while SEM analysis revealed a highly porous biochar network that optimizes PCM accommodation. DSC and TGA results demonstrated an impressive latent heat storage capacity up to 94.92 J/g, stable phase transition behavior, and improved thermal stability. Leakage tests and infrared thermal imaging further validated the composites’ shape-stabilizing efficiency, ensuring controlled heat absorption and dissipation without PCM leakage. By utilizing waste biomass, this study presents a sustainable and cost-effective approach to advanced thermal management, contributing to enhanced energy conservation and a reduced carbon footprint.

Here we utilize two generations of factorial model experiments to show that interannual variability of tropical land carbon uptake under both present and future climate is consistently dominated by terrestrial water availability variations in Earth system models. The magnitude of this interannual sensitivity of tropical land carbon uptake to water availability variations under future climate shows a large spread across the latest 16 models (2.3 ± 1.5 PgC/yr/Tt H2O), which is constrained to 1.3 ± 0.8 PgC/yr/Tt H2O using observations and the emergent constraint methodology. However, the long-term tropical land carbon-climate feedback uncertainties in the latest models can no longer be directly constrained by interannual variability compared with previous models, given that additional important processes are not well reflected in interannual variability but could determine long-term land carbon storage.

BCF/BMO exhibits high catalytic activity, achieving a CO yield of 165 μmol/(g·h), which is an increase of eight times compared to pristine BMO.

Overall, our examination of two distinct tracer pairs, along with the novel TTD method in comparison to a classical approach, revealed a notable agreement, highlighting the robustness of these Cant estimates.

The intermittent characteristics of wind energy make it essential to incorporate energy storage solutions to guarantee a consistent power supply. This study introduces the design, modeling, and control mechanisms of a self-sufficient wind energy conversion system (WECS) that utilizes a Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) in conjunction with a Water pumping storage station (WPS). The system employs Optimal torque control (OTC) to maximize power extraction from the wind turbine, achieving a peak power coefficient ( C p ) of 0.43. A vector control strategy is applied to the PMSG, maintaining the DC bus voltage at a regulated 465 V for stable system operation. The integrated WPS operates in both motor and generator modes, depending on the excess or shortfall of generated wind energy relative to load demand. In generator mode, the WPS supplements power when wind speeds are insufficient, while in motor mode, it stores excess energy by pumping water to an upper reservoir. Simulation results, conducted in MATLAB/Simulink, show that the system efficiently tracks maximum power points and regulates key parameters. For instance, the PMSG successfully maintains the reference quadrature current, achieving optimal torque and power output. The system’s response under varying wind speeds, with an average wind speed of 8 m/s, demonstrates that the generator speed closely follows turbine speed without a gearbox, leading to efficient power conversion. The results confirm the flexibility and robustness of the control strategies, ensuring continuous power delivery to the load. This makes the system a feasible solution for isolated, off-grid applications, contributing to advancements in renewable energy technologies and autonomous power generation systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-81522-8","authors":["Farid Merahi","Hamza Mernache","Djamal Aouzelag","Abd Essalam Badoud","Mohit Bajaj","Євген Зайцев"],"tags":["Permanent magnet synchronous generator","Wind power","Maximum power principle","Control theory (sociology)","Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-81522-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4414876596","name":"Between speed and safeguards: evaluating equity in the EU's carbon capture and storage policy landscape","source":"openalex","abstract":"As part of the Net-Zero Industry Act and Industrial Carbon Management Strategy, the European Union (EU) has positioned carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a critical decarbonization technology.

This innovative hybrid catalyst promotes the simultaneous adsorption and activation of CO2 and epoxide by immobilizing multiple functional groups on the catalyst support, providing new avenues for sustainable CO2 conversion.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s42114-024-01081-4","authors":["Lingling Wang","Zhihua Feng","Qingqing Hou","Zhen-Hua Dang","Yue Yu","Yang Cui","Bo Tang","Qiucheng Zhou","Xiufu Hua","Renbo Wei","Xiaoteng Liu"],"tags":["Cycloaddition","Catalysis","Epoxide","Chemistry","Phthalocyanine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-12","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s42114-024-01081-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391426587","name":"A Solid-State Transformation of Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Frameworks for Efficient Acetylene Storage and Gas Separation","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Developing robust microporous hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) is crucial for exploring novel physical adsorbents and revealing the structure–property relationship of hydrogen-bonding pairing behaviors.

Their significance is underscored by the recent Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognizing pioneering advances in MOF chemistry, which highlights the transformative impact of reticular design on modern materials science. Unlike conventional MOFs, whose insulating coordination bonds limit charge transport, c-MOFs integrate extended π-d conjugation, redox-active metal nodes, and permanent porosity to enable simultaneous electronic and ionic transport within an ordered framework. This review critically examines the fundamental charge-transport mechanisms governing c-MOFs-including through-bond, through-space, mixed-valence, and guest-mediated pathways-and elucidates how coordination geometry, defect chemistry, pore topology, and interfacial structure collectively regulate charge mobility and redox accessibility. By systematically linking these structure-property relationships to device-level behavior, we compare the performance of c-MOFs across lithium-, sodium-, and potassium-ion batteries, metal-air systems, supercapacitors, and redox-flow batteries, while clarifying their advantages and intrinsic limitations relative to carbons, metal oxides, conducting polymers, and perovskites. Particular emphasis is placed on identifying which conduction mechanisms and framework architectures remain most effective under practical operating conditions, including high areal loading, extended cycling, and commercial electrolytes. Beyond summarizing recent advances, this review provides a critical perspective on unresolved challenges-such as durability, scalable synthesis, and interfacial compatibility-and outlines emerging strategies, including hierarchical pore engineering, hybrid MOF-based architectures, data-driven materials discovery, and chemistry-conserving scale-up routes, that define concrete pathways toward deployable energy-storage technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5nr05297a","authors":["Santosh U.

In this work, the effects of reaction temperature of 700–1100 °C and CH4/CO2 ratio of biogas were investigated over NiMo/MgO catalyst in a fixed bed reactor under industrial feed condition of pure biogas. The reaction at 700 °C showed a rapid catalyst deactivation within 3 h due to the formation of amorphous carbon on catalyst surface. At higher temperature of 800–900 °C, the catalyst can perform the excellent performance for producing syngas and carbon nanotubes. Interestingly, the smallest diameter and the highest graphitization of CNTs was obtained at high temperature of 1000 °C, while elevating temperature to 1100 °C leads to agglomeration of Ni particles, resulting in a larger size of CNTs. The reaction temperature exhibits optimum at 800 °C, providing the highest CNTs yield with high graphitization, high syngas purity up to 90.04% with H2/CO ratio of 1.1, and high biogas conversion (XCH4 = 86.44%, XCO2 = 95.62%) with stable performance over 3 h.

Formation of an interphase region with a continuous gradation of properties between fiber and the epoxy can potentially delay failure. Development of a larger interphase can be facilitated by the inclusion of graphene platelets on carbon fiber surface through various deposition processes. The present investigation utilizes a unique combination of magnesium nitrate hexahydrate and carboxyl graphene (G‐COOH) to create a colloidal solution for the particulate type deposition of G‐COOH onto carbon fibers through electrophoretic deposition (EPD). Four layers of EPD deposited carbon fibers have been used to make the composite using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding technique. Tensile and flexural tests have been conducted on the pristine and 0.45 wt% of G‐COOH deposited carbon fiber (0.45G‐COOH CF) epoxy composite. G‐COOH addition leads to thickening of the interphase which has been confirmed through energy‐dispersive x‐ray spectroscopy line scanning. The tensile and flexural strength properties of the carboxyl graphene deposited composites exhibited an increase of 62% and 12% respectively. These improvements can be ascribed to the deposition of carboxyl graphene particles on the fiber and an enhancement in interphase thickness. Moreover, the addition of G‐COOH in composites resulted in a 38% increase in tensile strain. The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and void content measured in 0.45G‐COOH CF have been compared with pristine carbon fiber composite as well as 1.3 wt% of carboxyl graphene (1.3G‐COOH) deposited carbon fiber fabric composite that had a film type morphology of G‐COOH deposition. There is only a slight decrease in ILSS of 0.45G‐COOH carbon fiber composites occurred compared to pristine carbon fiber composites. The film type morphology of carbon fiber composite showed the highest void content and lowest ILSS compared to other composites.

The trilateral evolutionary game model is adopted to analyze the strategies of the power plant, the power grid, and the government. After assigning the model according to an actual situation, each equilibrium point corresponds to a real electricity market situation. The results indicate the following: (1) In the process of stabilizing, the role of “Advanced Imitators” leading the strategy of building energy storage changes between the power plant and the power grid. (2) In Eastern, Middle, and Southern China, the power plants and power grids on a greater-than-medium scale will choose to build energy storage without governmental regulations, due to the abundant net profit. (3) In the northeast of China, power plants with a medium-or-lower scale will choose not to build energy storage because of the relatively low on-grid price, and small power grids can make enough profits by operating energy storage facilities.

To achieve the “net-zero” target and keep the rise in global average temperature below 1.5 °C, negative emission technologies must be developed and deployed at a large scale. This study investigates the feasibility of using membranes as direct air capture (DAC) technology to extract CO 2 from atmospheric air to produce low-purity CO 2 . In this work, a two-stage hollow fiber membrane module process is designed and modeled using the AVEVA Process Simulation platform to produce a low-purity (≈5%) CO 2 permeate stream. Such low-purity CO 2 streams could have several possible applications such as algae growth, catalytic oxidation, and enhanced oil recovery. An operability analysis is performed by mapping a feasible range of input parameters, which include membrane surface area and membrane performance metrics, to an output set, which consists of CO 2 purity, recovery, and net energy consumption. The base case for this simulation study is generated considering a facilitated transport membrane with high CO 2 /N 2 separation performance (CO 2 permeance = 2100 GPU and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity = 1100), when tested under DAC conditions. With a constant membrane area, both membranes’ intrinsic performances are found to have a considerable impact on the purity, recovery, and energy consumption. The area of the first module plays a dominant role in determining the recovery, purity, and energy demands, and in fact, increasing the area of the second membrane has a negative impact on the overall energy consumption, without improving the overall purities. The CO 2 capture capacity of DAC units is important for implementation and scale-up. In this context, the performed analysis showed that the m-DAC process could be appropriate as a small-capacity system (0.1–1 Mt/year of air), with reasonable recoveries and overall purity. Finally, a preliminary CO 2 emissions analysis is carried out for the membrane-based DAC process, which leads to the conclusion that the overall energy grid must be powered by renewable sources for the technology to qualify within the negative emissions category.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsengineeringau.3c00069","authors":["Vitor Gama","Beatriz Dantas","Oishi Sanyal","Fernando V.

Moreover, the extent to which afforestation can enhance future carbon sequestration has not been fully quantified. This study focuses specifically on China and integrates forest growth models with Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) models to project future carbon dynamics based on shifts in forest habitat suitability. A nature scenario is applied to evaluate potential climate-induced risks to forest carbon sequestration, while an afforestation scenario is used to assess the additional contribution from planned afforestation efforts. RESULTS: The baseline aboveground biomass (AGB) of China's forests in 2020 is estimated at 11.59 ± 4.06 PgC. Under the nature scenario and assuming no future disturbances, the total AGB is projected to increase by 5.20-5.74 PgC by the 2050s and by 6.35-8.11 PgC by the 2070s, while carbon sequestration rates are expected to decline from 146.03 to 165.03 TgC/yr to approximately 122.98-137.80 TgC/yr. Between 11.79 and 39.60% of forests are at risk of land loss and compositional shifts in the 2070s, with the situation exacerbated under the SSP585 scenario. To mitigate climate-induced risks, the afforestation scenario proposes an additional 117.90-129.32 Mha of suitable forest area by the 2070s. Newly planted forests are projected to contribute approximately 37.42-65.60% of the carbon sequestration achieved by existing forests during the same period. CONCLUSIONS: Climate change is projected to cause significant forest loss and compositional changes across China. Although total forest carbon storage is expected to increase, the overall rate of carbon sequestration will likely decline. Afforestation emerges as a key strategy to enhance future forest carbon sinks. This study provides a spatially explicit assessment of carbon sequestration potential through afforestation and offers science-based guidance for the design of targeted forest policies in China.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13021-025-00308-1","authors":["Yuan Cao","Deyu Zhong","Rong Shang","Qihua Ke","Mingxi Zhang","Di Xie","Shutong Liu","Chensong Zhao","Randongfang Wei"],"tags":["Afforestation","Carbon sequestration","Carbon sink","Environmental science","Climate change"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13021-025-00308-1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406552837","name":"Towards negative carbon footprint: carbon sequestration enabled manufacturing of coral-inspired tough structural composites","source":"openalex","abstract":"The increasing impacts of global warming necessitate effective mitigation strategies, with carbon sequestration emerging as a viable mid-term solution.

Bacteria play a crucial role in producing calcium carbonate minerals, via enzymes including carbonic anhydrase—an enzyme with the capability to hydrolyse CO2, commonly employed in carbon capture systems. This study describes previously uncharacterised carbonic anhydrase enzyme sequences capable of sequestering CO2 and subsequentially generating CaCO3 biominerals and suggests a route to produce carbon negative cementitious materials for the construction industry. Results Here, Bacillus subtilis was engineered to recombinantly express previously uncharacterised carbonic anhydrase enzymes from Bacillus megaterium and used as a whole cell catalyst allowing this novel bacterium to sequester CO2 and convert it to calcium carbonate. A significant decrease in CO2 was observed from 3800 PPM to 820 PPM upon induction of carbonic anhydrase and minerals recovered from these experiments were identified as calcite and vaterite using X-ray diffraction. Further experiments mixed the use of this enzyme (as a cell free extract) with Sporosarcina pasteurii to increase mineral production whilst maintaining a comparable level of CO2 sequestration. Conclusion Recombinantly produced carbonic anhydrase successfully sequestered CO2 and converted it into calcium carbonate minerals using an engineered microbial system. Through this approach, a process to manufacture cementitious materials with carbon sequestration ability could be developed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12934-024-02437-7","authors":["Katie A.

However, none of the storage options available today can perform at their best in every situation. As a matter of fact, an isolated storage solution’s energy and power density, lifespan, cost, and response time are its primary performance constraints. Batteries are the essential energy storage component used in electric mobility, industries, and household applications nowadays. In general, the battery energy storage systems (BESS) currently available on the market are based on a homogeneous type of electrochemical battery. However, a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) based on a mixture of various types of electrochemical batteries can potentially provide a better option for high-performance electric cars, heavy-duty electric vehicles, industries, and residential purposes. A hybrid energy storage system combines two or more electrochemical energy storage systems to provide a more reliable and efficient energy storage solution. At the same time, the integration of multiple energy storage systems in an HESS requires advanced control strategies to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the system. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the control systems used in HESSs for a wide range of applications. An overview of the various control strategies used in HESSs is offered, including traditional control methods such as proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control, and advanced control methods such as model predictive control (MPC), droop control (DC), sliding mode control (SMC), rule-based control (RBC), fuzzy logic control (FLC), and artificial neural network (ANN) control are discussed. The paper also highlights the recent developments in HESS control systems, including the use of machine learning techniques such as deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and genetic algorithms (GA). The paper provides not only a description and classification of various control approaches but also a comparison between control strategies from the evaluation of performance point of view. The review concludes by summarizing the key findings and future research directions for HESS control systems, which is directly linked to the research on machine learning and the mix of different control type strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/electronics13071258","authors":["Alejandro Clemente","Paula Arias","Levon Gevorkov","Lluís Trilla","Sergi Obrador Rey","Xavier Sanchez Roger","José Luís Domínguez‐García","Àlber Filbà-Martínez"],"tags":["Electrochemical energy storage","Energy storage","Computer science","Control (management)","Electrochemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/electronics13071258","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406104214","name":"Identification of Stable Intermetallic Compounds for Hydrogen Storage via Machine Learning","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT Hydrogen is one of the most promising alternatives to fossil fuels for energy as it is abundant, clean and efficient. Storage and transportation of hydrogen are two key challenges faced in utilizing it as a fuel. Storing H2 in the form of metal hydrides is safe and cost effective when compared to its compression and liquefaction. Metal hydrides leverage the ability of metals to absorb H2 and the stored H2 can be released from the hydride by applying heat when needed. A multi‐step methodology is proposed to identify intermetallic compounds that are thermodynamically stable and have high hydrogen storage capacity (HSC). It combines compound generation, thermodynamic stability analysis, prediction of properties of the metal hydride and ranking of discovered materials based on predicted properties. The US Department of Energy (DoE) Hydrogen Storage Materials Database and the Open Quantum Materials Database (OQMD) are utilized for building and testing machine learning (ML) models for enthalpy of formation of the intermetallic compounds, stability analysis, and enthalpy of formation, equilibrium pressure and HSC of metal hydrides. The models proposed here require only attributes of elements involved and compositional information as inputs and do no need any experimental data. Random forest algorithm was found to be the most accurate amongst the ML algorithms explored for predicting all the properties of interest. A total of 349 772 hypothetical intermetallic compounds were generated initially, out of which, only 8568 compounds were found to be stable. The highest predicted HSC of these stable compounds was found to be 3.6. Magnesium, Lithium and Germanium constitute majority of the high HSC compounds. The predictions of HSC using the present models for metal hydrides that are not in the DoE database were reasonably close to the experimental data published recently but there is scope for improvement in prediction accuracy for metal hydrides with high HSC. The findings of this study will be useful in reducing the time required for development and discovery of new hydrogen storage materials and can be used to check the practical applicability of the hydride compound using the predicted properties.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/est2.70115","authors":["A.

Pea cultivation included the following six fertilizer treatments as subplots: control (no application), farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost (VC), Jeevamrut, FYM + VC, and the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDFs), each replicated three times. The results indicated that the leaves, branches, total biomass, carbon density, and carbon sequestration rate of G. optiva alleys at 10 m × 1 m were greater than those at the other spacings.

This results in an inflated estimate of the C‐sequestration potential. We address this gap by defining a more appropriate land base for cover cropping in the United States for C‐sequestration purposes: stable croplands in annual production systems that can integrate cover cropping without irrigation. Our baseline estimate of this suitable stable cropland area is 32% of current U.S. cropland extent. Even an alternative, less restrictive definition of stability results in a large reduction in area (44% of current U.S. croplands). Focusing cover crop implementation to this constrained land base would increase durability of associated C‐sequestration and limit soil carbon loss from land conversion to qualify for carbon‐specific incentives. Applying spatially‐variable C‐sequestration rates from the literature to our baseline area yields a technical potential of 19.4 Tg CO2e yr−1 annually, about one‐fifth of previous estimates. We also find the cost of realizing about half (10 Tg CO2e yr−1) of this potential could exceed 100 USD Mg CO2e−1, an order of magnitude higher than previously thought. While our economic analyses suggest that financial incentives are necessary for large‐scale adoption of cover cropping in the U.S., they also imply any C‐sequestration realized under such incentives is likely to be additional.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2023ef003866","authors":["Nazli Uludere Aragon","Yanhua Xie","Daniel P.

Drawing on panel data from 249 cities in China spanning the period from 2010 to 2021, we empirically analyze the impact, mechanisms, and heterogeneous effects of digital infrastructure construction on urban carbon emissions using a two-way fixed-effect model. Furthermore, we delve into the carbon-reducing effects of new-type digital infrastructure construction. The research findings indicate that digital infrastructure construction can significantly decrease urban carbon emissions; it achieves this by enhancing urban green innovation and heightening public environmental awareness, thereby further reducing urban carbon emissions. In city samples located in western regions, with higher government fiscal expenditures and better foundations for new energy utilization, the promotional effect of digital infrastructure construction on urban carbon emission reductions is more pronounced. Additionally, new-type digital infrastructure construction demonstrates a significant reduction in urban carbon emissions, and where new-type digital infrastructure is well developed, the carbon-reducing effect of digital infrastructure is even more evident. This study deepens our understanding of the mechanisms through which digitization empowers carbon emission reductions and the regional variations involved, providing empirical evidence for governments to formulate differentiated policies on digital infrastructure construction and carbon emission reductions.

This investigation analyzes water permeability, pore structure , morphological transformations, cyclability, and outer shell flexibility. The aim is to facilitate water vapor diffusion, accommodate cyclic volume fluctuations, and prevent caking. By encapsulating potassium carbonate granules with a porous protective layer, the preservation of structural integrity over hydration-dehydration cycles is demonstrated, ensuring sustained energy density and kinetic stability. Specifically, the encapsulated granules achieved a volumetric energy density (VED) of approximately 0.6 GJ ⋅ m −3 , and a power output at 90% conversion stabilized around 200 kW ⋅ m −3 .

This breakthrough relies on the development of Nanosheet-Agarose Hydrogel (NAH) composite-based generators, wherein the oppositely charged ions are released in water-filled hydrogel channels upon adsorbing CO2. By tuning the ion size and ion-channel interactions, the released cations at the hundred-nanometer scale are spatially confined within the hydrogel network, while ångström-scale anions pass through unhindered. This leads to near-perfect anion/cation separation across the generator with a selectivity (D-/D+) of up to 1.8 × 106, allowing conversion into external electricity.

The flexibility is usually modelled as virtual energy storage (VES) and used to optimize the operation of BEMs to reduce electricity costs. However, the VES capacity is impacted by and varies with variations in indoor/outdoor temperature. If only the building envelope's effect on heat transfer is considered, without proper quantification of scheduling flexibility provided by the building envelope, the scheduling scheme (especially VES charging/discharging schemes) will deviate from the actual VES operating conditions, which may affect the thermal comfort of individuals in buildings or bring high electricity costs. In this paper, a time‐varying building VES model (TVES) with three time‐varying parameters (virtual electric capacity (VEC), state of charge (SOC), and charge and discharge power) is proposed to quantify the electricity storage capability of the VES at different time periods for participating in operation of the BEM. Based on the TVES, a day‐ahead optimal scheduling strategy is developed for the BEM to simultaneously reduce the electricity cost and guarantee the user's thermal comfort, where the proposed time‐varying parameters of TVES are taken as constraints in the optimization. Numerical studies verify the effectiveness of the proposed TVES and optimal scheduling strategy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1049/rpg2.12605","authors":["Yunfei Mu","Yaqing Zhang","Hongjie Jia","Xiaodan Yu","Jiarui Zhang","Xiaolong Jin","Youjun Deng"],"tags":["Computer science","Energy storage","Scheduling (production processes)","Energy (signal processing)","Mathematical optimization"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-10-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1049/rpg2.12605","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405883777","name":"Iron ore substitution and carbon emission reduction by scrap steel recycling under carbon neutrality goal","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jiec.13600","authors":["Bin Zhang","Lu Yang","Hao Li","Niu Niu","Qingyao Xin","Changqing Xu","Zhaohua Wang"],"tags":["Scrap","Iron ore","Carbon fibers","Environmental science","Direct reduced iron"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jiec.13600","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4390951017","name":"Ni Single‐Atom Dual Catalytic Electrodes for Long Life and High Energy Efficiency Zinc‐Iodine Batteries","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Zinc‐iodine batteries (Zn‐I2) are extremely attractive as the safe and cost‐effective scalable energy storage system in the stationary applications.

Evidence from a Global Sample","source":"openalex","abstract":"Implementing a carbon pricing policy in any country remains a complex challenge, requiring the careful navigation of economic, social, and political factors to ensure policy coherence and stakeholder buy-in. Given the critical role of carbon pricing in achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, this study provides empirical evidence on the impact of carbon price implementation on carbon emission reductions globally. The study is motivated by the a priori assumption that carbon pricing policies incentivize polluters to adopt carbon-neutral technologies, leading to emission reductions. Using data from 30 jurisdictions between 1990 and 2020, comprising both developed economies and eight emerging markets where either a carbon tax, an emission trading system, or both have been implemented, we assess the effectiveness of carbon pricing mechanisms while controlling for economic growth, population, energy intensity, and environmental policy stringency. The findings confirm that carbon pricing leads to a significant reduction in emissions, with the Emission Trading System proving to be more effective in accelerating emission reductions than the carbon tax. Specifically, the Emission Trading System is associated with a 12.06% reduction in carbon emissions, compared to an 8.91% reduction under the carbon tax. These results underscore the importance of market-based mechanisms in driving decarbonization efforts. The findings also have critical policy implications, highlighting the need for tailored carbon pricing strategies that align with national economic structures and political contexts.

To date, a comprehensive understanding of the soil nutrient and carbon (C) cycling and microbial dynamics underlying the crop yield advantage remains elusive. Scope This review employs legume-cereal intercropping systems as a model to examine the current knowledge on the modulation of soil nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and C biogeochemistry resulting from the co-cultivation of these crops. This analysis emphasizes the functional potential of the soil microbiome and the plant-induced assemblage of microbial communities, highlighting key knowledge gaps.

We define this concept as Contemporary Plant-Soil Feedback (CPSF). Conclusions Our analysis revealed consistent plant-induced changes in the performance and nutrient acquisition of neighboring plants, an effect that would be inadequately classified without this new framework.

Hemp has the remarkable ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide not just during its growth phase, but also during its application and thus has the potential to be carbon negative. With the alarming global increase in carbon emissions and its implications, the cultivation and application of hemp can be a valuable tool in mitigating climate change. Although hemp is a versatile plant with many countries like Canada and China leading the way in its cultivation, it still faces challenges in Australia in terms of its acceptance, cultivation and widespread application. Much more needs to be done in terms of gaining a better understanding of the potential of hemp, growth opportunities, future prospects and challenges in further developing the industry. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of hemp's properties, applications, challenges, and future directions in the context of its role as a sustainable carbon-negative plant.

Although postcombustion CO 2 capture by absorption in aqueous amines is a mature technology, the required high regeneration energy, losses due to degradation and evaporation, and corrosion carry a high economic cost, precluding this technology to be used today at the scale required to mitigate climate change. Solid adsorbent-based systems with high CO 2 capacities, high selectivity, and lower regeneration energy are becoming an attractive alternative for this purpose. Conscious of this opportunity, the search for optimal adsorbents for the capture of CO 2 has become an urgent task. To accurately assess the performance of CO 2 separation by adsorption at the needed scale, adsorbents should be synthesized and fully characterized under the required operating conditions, and the proper design and simulation of the process should be implemented along with techno-economic and environmental assessments. Several works have examined pure CO 2 single-component adsorption or binary mixtures of CO 2 with nitrogen for different families of adsorbents, primarily addressing their CO 2 adsorption capacity and selectivity; however, very limited data is available under other conditions and/or with impurities, mainly due to the intensive experimental (modeling) efforts required for the large number of adsorbents to be studied, posing a challenge for their assessment under the needed conditions. In this regard, molecular simulations can be employed in synergy with experiments, reliably generating missing adsorption properties of mixtures while providing understanding at the molecular level of the mechanism of the adsorption process. This Account provides an outlook on strategies used for the rational design of materials for CO 2 capture from different sources from the understanding of the adsorption mechanism at the molecular level. We illustrate with practical examples from our work and others’ work how molecular simulations can be reliably used to link the molecular knowledge of novel adsorbents for which limited data exist for CO 2 capture adsorption processes. Molecular simulation results of different adsorbents, including MOFs, zeolites, and carbon-based and silica-based materials, are discussed, focusing on understanding the role of physical and chemical adsorption obtained from simulations and quantifying the impact of impurities in the performance of the materials. Furthermore, simulation results can be used for screening adsorbents from basic key performance indicators, such as cycling the working capacity, selectivity, and energy requirement, or for feeding detailed dynamic models to assess their performance in swing adsorption processes on the industrial scale, additionally including monetized performance indicators such as operating expenses, equipment sizes, and compression cost. Moreover, we highlight the role of molecular simulations in guiding strategies for improving the performance of these materials by functionalization with amines or creating hybrid solid materials. We show how integrating models at different scales provides a robust and reliable assessment of the performance of the adsorbent materials under the required industrial conditions, rationally guiding the search for best performers. Trends in additional computational resources that can be used, including machine learning, and perspectives on practical requirements for leveraging CO 2 capture adsorption technologies on the needed scale are also discussed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.accounts.3c00478","authors":["Lourdes F.

However, concerns have been raised about its potential health risks, including its nephrotoxicity and genotoxicity, when used in excessive amounts. Illegal addition of SY may cause allergic reactions or genetic damage. Therefore, a rapid method for detecting SY is needed. To develop a rapid detection method for sunset yellow (SY) with the aim of preventing its illegal addition in food, this study utilized agricultural waste asparagus peel (AP) as a carbon source and synthesized amino-functionalized carbon quantum dots (AP-CDs) via a green hydrothermal method. A highly sensitive detection platform was established based on the fluorescence quenching mechanism of AP-CDs in the presence of SY. The microstructure of AP-CDs was characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Their optical properties were assessed via ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis) and fluorescence spectroscopy (FS). Furthermore, key experimental parameters affecting SY detection were systematically optimized. Results revealed that the synthesized AP-CDs possessed surface hydrophilic functional groups, including hydroxyl, amide, and carboxyl groups, and were composed of carbon (C), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N) elements. Optical performance studies demonstrated that AP-CDs exhibited a strong fluorescence emission at 470 nm under 380 nm excitation, with a quantum yield (Φ) of 15.9%. Under the optimized conditions (pH 7.0, 0.5 mg/mL AP-CDs), the fluorescence intensity showed a linear response to the concentration of SY over the range of 0.1 to 100 μM (R2 = 0.9929), achieving a detection limit of 0.92 μM.

However, accurately modeling SOCD in these landscapes is challenging due to low-density sampling efforts and the limited availability of in-situ data caused by constrained accessibility. In this study, we aimed to explore the most suitable modeling technique for SOCD estimation in the context of tropical forest ecosystems. Methods To support the research, thirty predictor covariates derived from remote sensing data, topographic attributes, climatic factors, and geographic positions were utilized, along with 104 soil samples collected from the top 30 cm of soil in Central Vietnamese tropical forests. We compared the effectiveness of geostatistics (ordinary kriging, universal kriging, and kriging with external drift), machine learning (ML) algorithms (random forest and boosted regression tree), and their hybrid approaches (random forest regression kriging and boosted regression tree regression kriging) for the prediction of SOCD. Prediction accuracy was evaluated using the coefficient of determination (R 2 ), the root mean squared error (RMSE), and the mean absolute error (MAE) obtained from leave-one-out cross-validation. Results The study results indicated that hybrid approaches performed best in predicting forest SOCD with the greatest values of R 2 and the lowest values of MAE and RMSE, and the ML algorithms were more accurate than geostatistics. Additionally, the prediction maps produced by the hybridization showed the most realistic SOCD pattern, whereas the kriged maps were prone to have smoother patterns, and ML-based maps were inclined to possess more detailed patterns. The result also revealed the superiority of the ML plus residual kriging approaches over the ML models in reducing the underestimation of large SOCD values in high-altitude mountain areas and the overestimation of low SOCD values in low-lying terrain areas.

In the long-run, the negative responsiveness of CO2 emissions to renewable energy investment is further consolidated by green finance. Moreover, enhancing renewable energy investment in the long run is positive for environmental sustainability. It follows that policy makers should tailor policies aimed at enhancing renewable energy investment in the long-run as well as complementing renewable energy investment with green finance in the long-run in order to ensure environmental sustainability by means of reducing CO2 emissions. Policymakers in BRICS nations are urged to strengthen governance structures, promote renewable energy investments, leverage green finance, foster public-private partnerships, adopt a holistic approach, and address non-linear effects to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120906","authors":["Ashutosh Yadav","Bright Akwasi Gyamfi","Simplice Asongu","Deepak Kumar Behera"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Sustainability","Investment (military)","Economics","Corporate governance"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120906","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4396514865","name":"Mineral‐based Composite Phase Change Materials Assembled into 3D Ordered Aerogels for Efficient Wearable Filtration and Thermal Management","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract The emerging concept of aerogel composite phase change materials (PCMs) represents a promising approach for thermal energy storage and utilization. However, the thermal storage aerogels currently reported usually lack essential aerogel properties, thereby constraining their potential for functional design and advanced applications. Herein, multifunctional thermal storage aerogels with aerogel characteristics and thermoregulation performance are prepared by chemically crosslinking and unidirectional freezing to make functionalized mineral‐based composite PCMs as cavity walls. Thanks to the cross–linked continuous skeleton and retained hierarchical porous, this novel thermal storage aerogel possesses an 89.7% porosity and demonstrates excellent resilience under 80% compression. As the PCMs in the cavity walls can convert phonon transport modes through phase transitions, the thermal storage aerogel has enhanced thermal insulation properties, reaching a thermal conductivity of 29.6 mW m−1 K−1. Drawing upon the multifunctional properties of thermal storage aerogels, it is demonstrated that thermal storage masks with thermal comfort and health protection, as well as passive thermal management wrist guards capable of harnessing solar radiation for temperature regulation.

Biochar, derived from rice husks, has been suggested as an effective mean to increase soil carbon storage. However, isolating biochar's specific effects on soil aggregate formation and carbon sink capacity can be complex due to the overlapping influences of fertilization and understory vegetation cultivation. Our study circumvented these variables by incorporating different amounts of biochar into plantation soil without any additional cultivation or fertilization, conducting a detailed two-year field experiment. The findings revealed that biochar significantly increased the organic carbon content and density in the uncultivated under-forest Ferralsols, thus enhancing its carbon sink function. Intriguingly, while biochar raised the proportion of small soil aggregates (< 0.25 mm) and their organic carbon levels, it decreased the fraction of larger aggregates (> 0.25 mm), adversely affecting soil aggregate stability. These results suggest that biochar may compromise soil aggregate structure and stability in the absence of plant growth. The positive impact of biochar on soil carbon storage was found to depend more on its inherent inert carbon content than on soil type. Moreover, biochar alone was insufficient to increase the quantity of soil macroaggregates without the binding action of plant root exudates. Biochar's key function appears to be in enhancing the soil aggregate-forming processes facilitated by plant roots and microorganisms. Therefore, for optimal carbon sequestration in forest soils, integrating biochar application with appropriate agricultural practices is advisable.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-81232-1","authors":["Jiabin Wei","Youqing Li","Juan Li","Wei Yan","Yin Qi","Hongwei Jiang","Zongling Li","Jinyu Jiang","Li Yu","Yu Yao","Lang Zhang"],"tags":["Biochar","Carbon sequestration","Soil carbon","Slash-and-char","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-81232-1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401543488","name":"Feasibility of using diamond-like carbon films in total joint replacements: a review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) has been used as a coating material of choice for a variety of technological applications owing to its favorable bio-tribo-thermo-mechanical characteristics.

Contemporary joint replacement devices use metal-on-polymer articulations to restore function to worn, damaged or diseased cartilage. The wear of polymeric components has been addressed using crosslinking and antioxidants; however, in the context of the metallic components, complications pertaining to corrosion and metal ion release inside the body still persist. Through this review article, we explore the use of DLC coatings on metallic bearing surfaces and elucidate why this technology might be a viable solution for ongoing electrochemical challenges in orthopedics. The different characteristics of DLC coatings and their feasibility in TJRs are examined through assessment of tribo-material characterization methods. A holistic characterization of the coating-substrate interface and the wear performance of such systems are discussed. As with all biomaterials used in TJRs, we need mindful consideration of potential in-vivo challenges.

Owing to high moisture contents, digestates are challenging to valorise. However, these low-value feedstocks have steady availability with minimal competition for other applications. The study focuses on food waste digestate supply, biochar production, biochar agricultural field application, and transportation activities. Minimising digestate transport through co-locating biochar production facilities with anaerobic digestion displayed greenhouse gas mitigation costs of < £100 tCO 2 eq −1 (125 USD tCO 2 eq −1 ). The 88% stable carbon fraction of the biochar, which is resistant to degradation in soil, is primarily responsible for the effective removal of atmospheric greenhouse gases. This results in net emissions reductions of 1.15–1.20 tCO 2 eq per tonne of biochar, predominantly due to the long-term storage of durable carbon (1.7 tCO 2 eq per tonne of biochar). Using 50% of the UK’s projected available food waste digestate by 2030 offers a sequester potential of 93 ktCO 2 eq p.a., requiring 28 biochar facilities at 20 kt p.a. capacity. Sensitivity analysis emphasises the influence of the gate fee charged to process digestate, highlighting its importance for economic success of the biochar production. Further studies are needed to investigate the potential technology enhancements to reduce fossil-fuel use and provide greater certainty of the co-benefits of biochar application in agricultural soil.

Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including 195 contracting states and the European Union, will meet in Paris in December 2015 and negotiate the new climate agreement that is expected to replace the Kyoto Protocol after 2020. Prior to the 21st Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP21) in Paris, the United Nations called on each state to specify its future contributions to the efforts to keep the global average temperature rise below 2°C and to safeguard ecosystems and communities from the devastating impacts of climate change. Countries are expected to determine their contributions on the basis of their historical responsibilities in the GHG emissions growth and their current capacities. This analysis brings up three critical questions that Turkey should seek answers to, as it attempts to determine its national contribution to climate change mitigation: -What could Turkey’s responsibility and its emission reduction target be within the scope of the 2°C target? -What kind of a policy package could be implemented in order to achieve the required emission reduction? - What could be the impact of these policies on macroeconomic indicators? What are the costs of implementing and not implementing these policies? In order to avoid the devastating impacts of climate change, global carbon emissions should not exceed 2,900 GtCO2. This is referred to as the carbon budget. 65% of this budget (that is, 1,900 GtCO2) had been used up as of 2011. Should the current upward trend in emissions continue, the remaining 1,000 GtCO2 will have been emitted before 2050. To stay within the 2°C target, global carbon neutrality will need to be achieved sometime between 2055 and 2070, and total global greenhouse gas emissions need to shrink to net zero some time between 2080 and 2100. This study identified Turkey’s share in the remaining carbon budget based on “minimum historical responsibility” and “maximum development needs”. In this respect, in order to fulfil its responsibility within the scope of the 2°C target, Turkey should reduce its cumulative carbon emissions by 2,980 MtCO2 until 2030 relative to the reference scenario.","url":"https://openalex.org/W3027204874","authors":["Ebru Voyvoda","Alp Erinç Yeldan"],"tags":["Carbon fibers","Computer science","Composite number","Algorithm"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407929990","name":"Unlocking soil health: Are microbial functional genes effective indicators?","source":"openalex","abstract":"Soil microbial community plays crucial roles in promoting soil functions and maintaining soil health. Microbial functional gene abundances are actively involved in soil processes which supports soil functions and wider soil health. However, their suitability as indicators to assess soil health is still debatable. In this study, we sampled soils from a 10-year long-term fertilization experiment in a wheat-maize cropping system on the North China Plain. The treatment included no fertilizer (Control), chemical fertilizers only (NPK), NPK + organic manure, NPK + straw, and NPK + manure + straw. We quantified seventeen functional genes involved in carbon ( cbbL, GH31 ), nitrogen ( nifH, ureC, chiA, A-amoA, B-amoA, narG, nirK, nirS, norB and nosZ ), and phosphorus ( gltA, bpp, phoD, phoC, pqqC ) cycling. These genes were correlated with a suite of soil properties representing indicators of carbon (total carbon, organic carbon, and permanganate oxidizable carbon, α-1,4 glucosidase and carbon dioxide emission), nitrogen (total nitrogen, inorganic nitrogen, β-N-acetylglucosaminidase, and nitrous oxide emission), and phosphorous (available phosphorus, acid and alkaline phosphatase) pools/cycling. Soil microbial functional genes exhibited high coefficients of variation and strong sensitivity to fertilization treatments, while showing low variability among replicates within the same treatment. The abundances of functional genes, especially GH31, cbbL, B-amoA, chiA, phoC , and phoD were strongly correlated with their proxy indicators of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling. In addition, organic fertilization enhanced carbon and nutrients relevant functional gene abundances, generating positive effects on maize yield. These results indicate that microbial functional genes are sensitive to organic inputs and could provide a more detailed and mechanistic understanding of soil processes than conventional indicators by capturing the biochemical processes that govern nutrient dynamics. Our study underscores the potential of microbial functional genes as sensitive and valuable indicators for advancing soil health assessments and management practices. • Microbial functional genes were related to carbon and nutrient cycling. • Functional genes and proxy indicators for soil processes were highly correlated. • Functional genes were more sensitive to fertilization than proxy indicators. • Models showed strong relationships between functional genes and crop yield.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2025.109768","authors":["Jiyu Jia","R.G.M. de Goede","Yizan Li","Jiangzhou Zhang","Jiangzhou Zhang","Guangzhou Wang","Junling Zhang","Junling Zhang","Rachel Creamer"],"tags":["Environmental science","Soil health","Soil water","Soil science","Soil organic matter"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2025.109768","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415138974","name":"Functionalized Carbon-Based Materials for Uranium Extraction: A Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"The development of effective materials for uranium extraction from seawater is vital for advancing sustainable energy solutions.

However, the insulating nature of sulfur necessitates excessive conductive carbon to support sulfur redox. Common sulfide solid‐state electrolytes (SSEs) like Li 5.5 PS 4.5 Cl 1.5 decompose electrochemically within the operating voltage range of sulfur, a process enhanced by intimate contact with carbon. While this decomposition increases cell capacity, it reduces ionic conductivity, and its link to carbon characteristics in sulfur cathodes remains underexplored. Herein, the relationship between carbon specific surface area (SSA) and SSE decomposition in sulfur cathodes is examined. It is established that carbon blending can form a robust electronic conducting network that enhances both SSE and sulfur redox independently of carbon SSA. With a second derivative analysis (SDA), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and a galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT), sulfur redox is separated from SSE redox, and active material loss is established as the dominant failure mechanism. Carbon blending with nanofibers is shown to mitigate cell fading despite increasing SSE decomposition. Finally, optimized cathodes are synthesized with high SSE and sulfur capacity capable of high‐rate cycling and cycling at high S‐loading against Li‐metal.

This paper performs a technology screening exercise for ten decarbonization technologies for the power sector based on a holistic approach of sustainability, security, affordability, reliability, technology readiness and technology impact. This exercise has resulted in country-specific ranking of technologies which can inform policymakers of ASEAN countries. Overall speaking, simultaneous utilization of both fossil and non-fossil technologies is needed rather than waiting for certain technologies to mature. On the fossil side, switching from coal to gas for power generation and implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS) in coal- and gas-fired power plants have the highest decarbonization potential. Therefore, eleven first-mover CCS projects are proposed with the potential to mitigate up to 22% of energy-related CO2 emission in ASEAN in 2019. On the renewable side, hydropower has the highest potential but sustainability issues due to overdamming of the Mekong River needs to be addressed.

In the Yellow Sea, millions of tons of the macroalga Ulva prolifera sink to the seafloor annually following green tides, yet their ultimate fate and carbon sequestration potential remain poorly understood. Microbial communities play a crucial role in decomposing organic matter and determining the fate of sunken macroalgae. Our 2-year simulated microbial degradation of U. prolifera revealed that approximately 38% of the carbon in sunken macroalgal biomass was ultimately sequestered in various forms. Of this retained carbon, 10% was transformed into dissolved inorganic bicarbonate ions, enhancing seawater alkalinity and contributing to inorganic carbon storage. Meanwhile, 28% was transformed into recalcitrant dissolved/particulate organic carbon and algal detritus, consisting of degradation-resistant compounds rich in humic-like substances, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and highly aromatic compounds. Metagenomic analysis showed that these transformations were driven by a coordinated microbial succession from r-strategists to K-strategists, mediated by a microbial carbon pump and a ‘microbially driven alkalinity pump’. Our findings suggest that large-scale sinking of U. prolifera holds substantial potential for long-term ocean carbon sequestration, contributing to stable carbon pools in both organic and inorganic forms.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/nsr/nwaf273","authors":["Hongmei Li","Zenghu Zhang","Jing Chen","Shailesh Nair","Tianqi Xiong","Hanshuang Zhao","Ding He","Kitack Lee","Nianzhi Jiao","Yongyu Zhang"],"tags":["Carbon sequestration","Degradation (telecommunications)","Environmental chemistry","Term (time)","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/nsr/nwaf273","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400386483","name":"Electric vehicle charging technologies, infrastructure expansion, grid integration strategies, and their role in promoting sustainable e-mobility","source":"openalex","abstract":"The transport sector is experiencing a notable transition towards sustainability, propelled by technological progress, innovative materials, and a dedication to environmental preservation.

The process involves activation with H3PO4 followed by thermal conversion at temperatures ranging from 700 to 900 °C. Adsorption isotherms for CO2, CH4, H2, N2, and C2H4 were systematically measured at 25 °C under pressures up to 45 bar for all specimens. These data formed the basis for calculating the separation selectivity of CO2/N2, CO2/CH4, CO2/H2, and C2H4/CH4 at various pressures. ACs synthesized at 800 °C (FERN800) exhibited superior characteristics, including a specific surface area of 438 m2/g, a total pore volume of 0.300 cm3/g, and a micropore volume of 0.236 cm3/g. This resulted in significant gas uptake values: 4.21 mmol/g for CO2, 3.14 mmol/g for CH4, 1.19 mmol/g for H2, 2.04 mmol/g for N2, and 3.36 mmol/g for C2H4, at 25 °C and 45 bar. The research demonstrates the potential of fern-derived ACs for high-pressure gas adsorption, particularly in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and advancing gas separation technologies for applications such as flue gas treatment (post-combustion), syngas production (pre-combustion), biogas upgrading, and hydrocarbon mixtures. Notably, ACs showed a high selectivity of 146 for CO2 over N2 at 1 bar in flue gas containing 15 % CO2, and a selectivity of 90 for CO2 over H2 at 1 bar. ACs produced from fern leaves activated by H3PO4 also show promise in capturing CO2 from biogas and natural gas, as well as C2H4 from natural gas. Additionally, the calculated cost of producing 1 kg of the AC was found to be 2.45 € (19 CNY), positioning it competitively in the market. This research highlights the innovative use of fern-derived ACs as effective and sustainable adsorbents in various environmental and industrial applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2024.132462","authors":["Jarosław Serafin","Bartosz Dziejarski","Paola Rodríguez‐Estupiñán","Valentina Bernal Fernández","Liliana Giraldo","Joanna Sreńscek-Nazzal","Beata Michalkiewicz","Juan Carlos Moreno‐Piraján"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Adsorption","Selectivity","Hydrogen storage","Methane"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2024.132462","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402691221","name":"Research on Carbon-Reduction-Oriented Demand Response Technology Based on Generalized Nodal Carbon Emission Flow Theory","source":"openalex","abstract":"The decarbonization of power systems plays a great part in the carbon neutrality goal. Currently, researchers have explored reducing carbon in power systems in terms of the optimization of energy supply structure and operation strategies, but ignored the carbon reduction potential of users. To investigate the carbon reduction capability of users and further promote power system decarbonization through the active response of electricity loads, this paper proposes a carbon-reduction-oriented demand response (CRODR) technology based on generalized nodal carbon emission flow theory. First, the framework of the CRODR mechanism is established to provide an interaction baseline for users facing carbon reduction guiding signals. Secondly, the generalized nodal carbon emission flow theory is introduced to provide a calculation method for the guiding signals, considering dynamic electricity carbon emission factors with various spatiotemporal resolutions. Then, a matrix-based method is proposed to efficiently solve the carbon emission flow and obtain the guiding signals. On this basis, an optimal load-regulating model to help users meet their carbon reduction goals is built, and a carbon reduction benefit-evaluation method is proposed. Case studies on China’s national power system and a textile company verify that CRODR technology can realize efficient carbon reduction through load shifting while maintaining the total power consumption of users. The proposed CRODR technology is expected to provide a theoretical basis and guiding mechanism for promoting carbon reduction throughout the entire power system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17184672","authors":["Shixu Zhang","Yaowang Li","Ershun Du","Wei Wang","Min Wang","Haoran Feng","Yi Xie","Qiuyu Chen"],"tags":["Reduction (mathematics)","Carbon fibers","Flow (mathematics)","Computer science","Mathematical optimization"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17184672","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4220686810","name":"Estimating Three‐Dimensional Carbon‐To‐Phosphorus Stoichiometry of Exported Marine Organic Matter","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract The stoichiometric carbon to phosphorus ratios (rC:P) in suspended particulate organic matter (POM) are generally inversely correlated with surface phosphate (PO 4 ) concentration. However, it is uncertain if previously suggested relationships between rC:P and PO 4 are appropriate for the vertical export flux of organic matter. Using a global steady‐state inverse ocean biogeochemistry model and annual‐mean observed tracers, we estimate optimal parameters for both linear and power law representations of rP:C (= 1/rC:P), and find rP:C = (0.0066 ± 0.0018) × [PO 4 ] + (0.0053 ± 0.0010) and rP:C = (0.0112 ± 0.0018) × [PO 4 ] (0.36±0.07) , respectively, where [PO 4 ] is in μM. Both parameterizations allow us to fit global tracer observations equally well, but the power law model implies an up to 50% larger uptake rC:P in oligotrophic gyres. For both formulations, the POM export rC:P from the euphotic zone is nearly equal to the uptake rC:P, while the dissolved organic matter export rC:P is up to two times larger than the uptake rC:P. Although weakly constrained, our model suggests that in eutrophic regions the vertical organic P fluxes are attenuated faster with depth than the organic C fluxes. By contrast, in oligotrophic regions there are no discernible differences between the organic P and C flux‐attenuation profiles. As a result, the large spatial range of rC:P spanning 50–200 at the base of the euphotic zone is diminished to 110–160 at 2000 m depth. In oligotrophic regions at 150–500 m depths, our estimated export rC:P values are significantly lower than those measured with sediment traps, implying a potentially large modulation of export rC:P by migrating zooplankton within the twilight zone.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2021gb007154","authors":["Eun Young Kwon","Mark Holzer","Axel Timmermann","François Primeau"],"tags":["Photic zone","Total organic carbon","Organic matter","Flux (metallurgy)","Ocean gyre"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-03-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2021gb007154","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4210743476","name":"LandGEM Biogas Estimation, Energy Potential and Carbon Footprint Assessments of a Controlled Landfill Site.

This is due to the existence of the most important greenhouse gases in landfill gas; namely, methane and carbon dioxide. Methane has a high potential for energy production and by utilizing the proper technology, large amounts of energy can be extracted from it. This paper deals with the estimation of methane emissions from the controlled municipal solid waste landfill of Mohammedia-Benslimane (MB) in Morocco. Methane emissions were calculated using the LandGEM method. In this research, the following parameters were evaluated: the amount of landfilled waste, the characteristics of the landfill and the composition of the landfilled waste, as well as the climatic conditions prevailing in the region. According to the LandGEM model, the total amount of methane generated from approximately 3.663 E+06 kg of municipal solid waste that will be buried of in the MB controlled landfill over 20 years,2012 to 2032, is 1.76 E+08 m 3 . For the year 2020, the estimated electrical energy production in the landfill is 1.78 E+07 kWh. Regarding the carbon footprint for this landfill, the landfilling of household solid waste at the MB landfill has resulted in a production of about 499,238,000 kg CO 2 e in 2020 since its opening in 2012, according to the LandGEM model. These huge amounts of greenhouse gas are related to the fact that the waste buried at this landfill is highly organic.

Using AC–EPD to fabricate Mn(BTC) (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) cathodes followed by thermal annealing to synthesize MOF-derived Mn3O4 offers a synergistic approach that addresses several key challenges in aqueous ZIB systems. The Mn3O4 cathode prepared via AC–EPD from Mn(BTC) exhibited a remarkable specific capacity of up to 430 mAh/g at a current density of 200 mA/g. Interestingly, the capacity continued to increase progressively with cycling, suggesting dynamic structural or interfacial changes that improved Zn2+ transport and utilization over time. Such capacity enhancement behavior during prolonged cycling at elevated rates has not been observed in previously reported Mn3O4-based ZIB systems. Kinetic analysis further revealed that the charge storage process is predominantly governed by diffusion-controlled mechanisms. This behavior can be attributed to the intrinsic characteristics of the Mn3O4 phase formed from the MOF precursor, where the bulk redox reactions involving Zn2+ insertion require ion migration into the electrode interior. Even though the electrode was processed as an ultrathin film with enhanced electrolyte contact, the charge storage remains limited by solid-state ion diffusion rather than fast surface-driven reactions, reinforcing the diffusion-dominant nature of the system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules30122566","authors":["Jieun Lee","Byoungnam Park"],"tags":["Aqueous solution","Carbon fibers","Zinc","Cathode","Inorganic chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-12","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules30122566","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407555401","name":"Comparative analysis of capillary threshold pressure measurement techniques: mercury intrusion porosimetry vs. innovative measuring tool for carbon storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Threshold pressure is a critical parameter in evaluating the capillary sealing capacity of rocks, especially in reservoir and caprock studies related to CO 2 storage and hydrocarbon recovery. In this research, we conducted a comparative analysis of two methods for measuring threshold pressure: the traditional mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), which operates under different fluid dynamics, and a new gas-water/brine system (e.g., CO 2 -water) using novel equipment. The new apparatus employs techniques to directly measure the threshold pressure by monitoring the displacement of water by gas, such as CO 2 , in core samples. This system is designed to more accurately replicate in-situ subsurface reservoir conditions by accounting for key parameters such as CO 2 -brine interfacial tension, and pressure. By directly measuring the point at which gas begins to displace water from rock pores, it provides a more realistic assessment of the threshold pressure for CO 2 sequestration projects. For example, in the case of Sample 1, the direct measurement under a confining pressure of 15 MPa resulted in a threshold pressure of 0.4 MPa. In contrast, mercury intrusion data converted for CO 2 drainage estimated the threshold pressure at only 0.1 MPa. Similarly, for Sample 2, the direct measurement yielded a threshold pressure of 0.24 MPa, while the MIP method indicated a significantly lower threshold of 0.05 MPa. These discrepancies underscore the limitations of mercury intrusion when applied to CO 2 -water/brine systems. Underestimation of threshold pressure can have significant consequences for the design and safety of CO 2 storage projects, as this parameter is essential to assess the sealing efficiency of the caprocks and determine the storage capacity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2025.1518424","authors":["Ahsan Nabi Soomro","Łukasz Anioł","Mateusz Kudasik","Karol Dąbrowski","Stanisław Nagy"],"tags":["Porosimetry","Mercury intrusion porosimetry","Mercury (programming language)","Materials science","Capillary pressure"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2025.1518424","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409250162","name":"In situ amino–lignin production via biomass fractionation for high-efficacy CO 2 capture","source":"openalex","abstract":"One-pot reactive fractionation of biomasses using an aniline–formic acid solvent system produces high-purity cellulose and high-N-density aminated lignins.

Robust projections and predictions of climate variability and change, particularly at regional scales, rely on the driving processes being represented with fidelity in model simulations. The role of enhanced horizontal resolution in improved process representation in all components of the climate system is of growing interest, particularly as some recent simulations suggest both the possibility of significant changes in large-scale aspects of circulation as well as improvements in small-scale processes and extremes. However, such high-resolution global simulations at climate timescales, with resolutions of at least 50 km in the atmosphere and 0.25° in the ocean, have been performed at relatively few research centres and generally without overall coordination, primarily due to their computational cost. Assessing the robustness of the response of simulated climate to model resolution requires a large multi-model ensemble using a coordinated set of experiments. The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6) is the ideal framework within which to conduct such a study, due to the strong link to models being developed for the CMIP DECK experiments and other model intercomparison projects (MIPs). Increases in high-performance computing (HPC) resources, as well as the revised experimental design for CMIP6, now enable a detailed investigation of the impact of increased resolution up to synoptic weather scales on the simulated mean climate and its variability. The High Resolution Model Intercomparison Project (HighResMIP) presented in this paper applies, for the first time, a multi-model approach to the systematic investigation of the impact of horizontal resolution. A coordinated set of experiments has been designed to assess both a standard and an enhanced horizontal-resolution simulation in the atmosphere and ocean. The set of HighResMIP experiments is divided into three tiers consisting of atmosphere-only and coupled runs and spanning the period 1950–2050, with the possibility of extending to 2100, together with some additional targeted experiments. This paper describes the experimental set-up of HighResMIP, the analysis plan, the connection with the other CMIP6 endorsed MIPs, as well as the DECK and CMIP6 historical simulations. HighResMIP thereby focuses on one of the CMIP6 broad questions, “what are the origins and consequences of systematic model biases?”, but we also discuss how it addresses the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) grand challenges.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-9-4185-2016","authors":["Rein Haarsma","Malcolm Roberts","Pier Luigi Vidale","C.

Calculated summer FSGD fluxes in the Arctic are generally higher relative to low latitudes. The FSGD organic carbon and nitrogen fluxes are likely larger than summer riverine input. The FSGD also has very high CO2 making it a potentially significant source of inorganic carbon. Thus, the biogeochemistry of Arctic coastal waters is potentially influenced by groundwater inputs during summer. These water and solute fluxes will likely increase as coastal permafrost across the Arctic thaws.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024gl109142","authors":["Cansu Demir","J. W.

At present, seaweed production reached 35.8 million t from farming, accounting for 97% of global seaweed output, with a world market of US$ 11.8 billion. Seaweeds are an excellent source of nutritious human food because of their low lipid content, high minerals, fibers, polyunsaturated fatty acids, polysaccharides, vitamins, and bioactive compounds. Many seaweed sub-products offer unique properties to develop various functional foods for the food processing industries. In the perspective of climate change mitigation, seaweed farms absorb carbon, serve as a CO2 sink and reduce agricultural emissions by providing raw materials for biofuel production and livestock feed. Seaweed farming system also helps in climate change adaptation by absorbing wave energy, safeguarding shorelines, raising the pH of the surrounding water, and oxygenating the waters to minimize the impacts of ocean acidification and hypoxia on a localized scale. Moreover, it contributes substantially to the sustainable development of the economic condition of coastal women by providing livelihood opportunities and ensuring financial solvency. This review paper highlights the significance of seaweed farming in global food and nutritional security, mitigation and adaptation to global climate change, and women empowerment within a single frame. This review paper also outlined the major issues and challenges of seaweed farming for obtaining maximum benefits in these aspects. The main challenges of making seaweed as a staple diet to millions of people include producing suitable species of seaweeds, making seaweed products accessible, affordable, nutritionally balanced, and attractive to the consumers. Various food products must be developed from seaweeds that may be considered equivalent to the foods consumed by humans today. Lack of effective marine spatial planning to avoid user conflicts is vital for expanding the seaweed farming systems to provide aquatic foods and contribute globally for mitigation and adaptation of climate change impacts. Hence, women's empowerment through seaweed farming is primarily constrained by the lack of technical knowledge and financial resources to establish the coastal farming system. All the information discussed in this paper will help to understand the critical needs for large-scale seaweed farming for climate resilience mariculture, potentials for global food security, and future research on various aspects of seaweed farming and their diverse utilization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aaf.2022.09.001","authors":["Fahmida Sultana","Md.

Due to their dependency on open areas, present solar cookers are useless at night and morning, restricting usage to the afternoon despite sufficient solar radiation for 9–10 months. Phase-change materials and expensive thermal energy storage (TES) devices are needed for conventional solar thermal power facilities. An economical TES system using parabolic sun dish collectors is needed to decrease LPG import costs and pollution. In response, this project aims to design a solar parabolic dish collector coupled with a TES system, utilizing specially engineered carbon bricks to enhance heat storage and retrieval capacities while reducing initial costs. Employing ANSYS-CFX software, the TES system undergoes thorough examination. Computational fluid dynamics analysis is conducted to evaluate heat transfer coefficients for both the hot fluid, responsible for heating the bricks, and the cold fluid, which cools them. The results reveal heat transfer coefficients ranging from 15 to 20 W/m2 K for the hot fluid and 25 to 40 W/m2 K for the cold fluid, with the latter demonstrating higher coefficients attributed to air’s higher density compared to the hot fluid’s lower density. Overall, the TES system exhibits an estimated heat transfer coefficient of 20–25 W/m2 K, facilitating efficient heating and recovery of heat.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctae096","authors":["M.

This study focuses on quantifying CO2 capture potential in blended cement systems through the utilisation of phenolphthalein and thermalgravimetric methodologies. Its primary objective is to assess the CO2 absorption capacity of these blended systems’ pastes. Initial evaluation involves calculating the carbon capture capacity within the paste, subsequently extended to estimate CO2 content in the resultant concrete products. The findings indicate that incorporating ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) or an ettringite-based expansive agent did not notably elevate carbonation depth, irrespective of their fineness. Conversely, the introduction of fly ash (FA) notably augmented the carbonation depth, leading to a substantial 36.4% rise in captured CO2 content. The observed distinctions in carbonation behaviour primarily stem from variances in pore structure, attributable to distinct hydration characteristics between GGBS and FA. Thermal analysis confirms the increased stabilisation of CO2 in FA blends, highlighting the crucial influence of material composition on carbonation and emission reduction. Incorporating both GGBS and FA notably diminishes binder emissions, constituting almost half of PC-concrete emissions. Initially, 60% GGBS shows lower emissions than 50% FA, but when considering CO2 capture, this emission dynamic significantly changes, emphasising the intricate influence of additives on emission patterns. This underscores the complexity of evaluating carbonation-induced emissions in cementitious systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings14010154","authors":["Jingxian Liu","Yingyu Wu","Fulin Qu","Hanbing Zhao","Yilin Su"],"tags":["Carbonation","Ground granulated blast-furnace slag","Cementitious","Cement","Ettringite"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings14010154","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406271880","name":"Spindle‐Shaped Ni‐Fe‐Layered Double Hydroxide: Effect of Etching Time on Flexible Energy Storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract The rising demand for efficient energy storage in flexible electronics is driving the search for materials that are well‐suited for the fabrication of these devices.

Despite BECCS being the building block of net-zero policies, its implementation on a national and regional scale presents serious challenges. Therefore, in this study, we analyze the role of BECCS in the German bioenergy system with a spatially detailed bottom–up optimization model that accounts for techno-economics and political aspects of BECCS (e.g. availability of biomass and investment costs). Our analysis demonstrates that BECCS can remove almost 61 Mt CO 2 in 2050; however, the outcomes demonstrate sensitivity toward CO 2 credit and CO 2 prices, which can raise the removal as high as 69 Mt CO 2 . Additionally, results suggest that removing enough CO 2 to achieve carbon neutrality in Germany by 2045 solely through BECCS seems extremely challenging; thus, a portfolio of negative emission technologies will be necessary to contribute.

This study evaluates the thermal shock response of a granite-based GP designed for CO2 geosequestration. Thermal shocks were induced by rapidly cooling hot GP samples (maintained at 200°C) through immersion in either cold tap water or NaCl brine (5°C). Control samples were immersed in water or brine at room temperature for 2 minutes, followed by 10 hours of drying at room temperature. Macro-scale effects were assessed through measurements of porosity, mass loss, and uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), while microstructural changes were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results showed minimal alterations in mass and porosity for water-exposed control samples, with a 5% reduction in compressive strength. Control samples exposed to brine showed increased mass by 11.4%, decreased porosity by 44%, and enhanced compressive strength by 4.7%. Thermal cycling with water-quenching resulted in a 1.4% mass increase, 4.7% porosity decrease, and 26% compressive strength decline.

In this context, Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) has emerged as a promising approach to reduce CO2 emissions from traditional energy systems, and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques like water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection has played a crucial role in this scenario, improving oil production efficiency and supporting carbon sequestration. The Brazilian Pre-salt fields have advanced this EOR method over the years by integrating WAG injection with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) strategies by reinjecting CO2, which contributes to emissions reduction and facilitates geological CO2 trapping. The pre-salt area represents around 80% of total oil and gas production in Brazil ( ANP, 2024 ), and more than 50 million tons of CO2 have already been injected into pre-salt reservoirs through CO2-EOR ( Petrobras, 2024 ). This paper discusses how CO2-WAG injection strategies in Brazilian Fields has aligned EOR and CCS goals, reducing the environmental impact and the energy cost of oil and gas production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.2025644059","authors":["P.

We use the Integrated Markal-EFOM System model applied to the USA, adding a rich suite of biofuel and carbon capture technologies, region-specific CO2 transportation and injection costs, and government incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act. We find that under current government incentives, biofuels and carbon capture from biorefineries are primarily focused in the Midwest and South of the USA, but play a relatively small role in the overall USA transportation sector even in 2055.

Still, there is a lack of study on the performance of Na2ZrO3 cyclic capture under harsh condition (desorption in high concentration CO2). In this study, Na2ZrO3 was prepared by wet-mixing and heated-drying, and the difference in the cyclic CO2 capture performance of the sample was compared between desorption under harsh condition and vacuum condition. The crystal structure of Na2ZrO3 was identified during the sorption-desorption cycles. The crystal structure was also modeled and simulated to analyze the reason for the superior capture performance from the monoclinic Na2ZrO3. It was found that the special interlocked and multilayered stacked structure of the monoclinic Na2ZrO3 allowed for high reactivity with CO2. It was found that high temperature solely had little help in the desorption of Na2ZrO3 under harsh condition, but vacuum condition promoted desorption of Na2ZrO3 in high fraction CO2, and vacuum desorption at 1000 °C-1050 °C resulted in Na2ZrO3 with both good capture performance and cycling stability. Vacuum desorption led to more complete reversion of Na2ZrO3 to the monoclinic state, benefiting for CO2 capture.

Carbon sequestration in geological sinks was identified as one of the major methods to curb and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide stored in the geological formations must not escape back into the atmosphere. Characterisation of potential reservoirs for geological sequestration is pertinent for injectivity, capacity, and most importantly containment of carbon dioxide. The cap rock is one of the most important factors determining carbon sequestration success. This study focuses on the preliminary characterisation of the caprocks for evaluating potential subsurface storage of carbon dioxide based on their petrophysical characteristics. X-ray Diffraction and X-ray Fluorescence provided the mineralogical composition and geochemical data of the cap rocks while Scanning Electron Microscopy-EDS was used to identify the qualitative information on the micromorphological textural structure of the cap rocks in the Niger Delta. Conventional Triaxial experiments were used to determine the elastic and geo-mechanical strength of the caprocks. It was identified that the grain skeleton of caprocks in the region is predominated by Quartz, Albite, and Muscovite. The ratio of the tectosilicate and phyllosilicate minerals indicates that the cap rocks are silicate shale. The peak strength of the caprocks ranged from 48.85 to 80.50 MPa and are classified as strong rocks. The cap rocks showed a quasi-elastic behaviour after being subjected to compressive axial force. The elastic modulus of the caprocks was also observed. The characteristics exhibited by the shale caprock at the rock matrix level are highly favourable for sealing carbon dioxide and hence indicate capability for use in carbon sequestration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31206","authors":["Itai Mutadza","Sunday Sunday Ikiensikimama","Ogbonna Friday Joel"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-14T11:55:08Z","doi":"10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31206","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.egyr.2025.11.108","name":"Low-carbon economic operation strategies for integrated energy systems considering liquid storage carbon capture power plants and hydrogen production-storage-multimodal hydrogen use","source":"crossref","abstract":"Aiming at the problems of low flexibility, high carbon emission, and difficult absorption of wind power connected to the grid in an integrated energy system (IES), a low-carbon economic operation strategy of IES considering liquid storage carbon capture power plant (LSCCPP) and multi-mode utilization of hydrogen energy was proposed.

This test acted as the first step of a much larger carbon capture and storage (CCS) project, and was used to simulate the early lifecycle conditions and assess the feasibility of the full-scale project. The aim of this paper is to share how this unique CO2 test was delivered successfully by utilising a fit-for-purpose injection strategy and risk mitigation methodology, that was developed through leveraging full system modelling. A comparison between the measured field injection data and modelling results is also presented. Injecting CO2 into depleted reservoirs using historic wells inherently comes with safety, operational, and integrity risks. However, it is also attractive, as the existing well and infrastructure can be repurposed to reduce capital expenditures, and the depleted reservoir allows for \"refilling\" up to its original pressure. During CO2 injection tests, depleted reservoir pressures will often be too low to support a static column of liquid or dense phase CO2, requiring tubing friction or downhole devices to provide the required backpressure. The small-scale CO2 injection test proposed to use a 1980s suspended production well, that was not suitable for standard CO2 pumping operations due to the small operating window. Therefore, to perform the test a custom temporary system and injection program needed to be developed that allowed for CO2 vaporisation and heating on surface, ensuring the operating limits were not exceeded and minimising the stress on the historic well. The system also needed to be fit-for-purpose, cost-effective, meet regulatory requirements and stringent timelines. To meet these requirements, an approach utilising available oilfield equipment packages and integrating them into a single injection system was chosen. As this system was not bespoke for CO2 injection, dynamic modelling was heavily used to validate the operability, safety, and integrity of the system, as well as develop custom operating procedures. Using this fit-for-purpose injection system and injection strategy proved successful during the CO2 injection operations, with the system behaving as planned, safely managing the CO2 vaporisation, providing stable injection rates and temperatures. High-quality surface and downhole injection data were captured, which validated the feasibility of the target reservoir and injection models. Safety and integrity were monitored and maintained throughout the CO2 operations, with pressure and temperature managed within the system operating window, and no dry ice, hydrates or injection issues observed. Following injection, the CO2 inside the well was successfully bullheaded into the reservoir and the well was resuspended and returned to its preexisting status.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/225846-ms","authors":["S.

In these structures, CO2 trapping relies on a seal that can retain a column of mobile CO2. However, other forms of CO2 sequestration, such as residual trapping and dissolution, can also be effective in storing CO2, such as in saline aquifers. The key to a successful sequestration project is managing pressure buildup during injection. The size of the aquifer and the strength of the seal are critical factors in controlling pressure buildup. Smaller aquifers experience faster pressure buildup, whereas larger aquifers can accommodate more CO2 injection. Similarly, a strong seal can withstand higher injection pressures, allowing for more CO2 to be stored.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.2025644045","authors":["M. Valderrama","A.

This study explores the transition toward carbon neutrality in power generation, focusing on fossil-fuel-based plants, particularly lignite and natural gas, which remain central to Thailand’s electricity production. A key strategy adopted by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) is “Sink Co-creation”, which includes the deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies in existing and future lignite power plants, leveraging favorable storage conditions. Additionally, natural gas power plants exhibit significant CCS potential through source–sink matching mechanisms. This study finds that the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions from fossil-fuel-based power plants could reach 17.07 MtCO2. Of this total, lignite power plants are projected to achieve a reduction of 3.79 MtCO2 by 2036, while natural gas power plants are expected to contribute an additional 13.28 MtCO2 in reductions by 2050.

Thousands of depleted shallow gas reservoirs in northeast Alberta offer a promising CO₂ storage complements to deep saline aquifers, supporting carbon removal in the oilsands region. This study presents a three-step framework to evaluate their suitability: a) initial screening to ensure sufficient capacity and injectivity, and containment, b) multi-criteria ranking to identify the most strategic candidates, and c) source–sink (S–S) optimization to integrate spatial and economic constraints within a carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chain framework, enabling the prioritization of optimal storage sites. From an initial inventory of 4694 depleted pools, 874 reservoirs with a combined capacity of 1518 Mt CO₂ were shortlisted. These were aggregated into fields and further integrated into four distinct trends based on geological and engineering characteristics within a CCS value chain framework. The Lower Cretaceous Kirby–Leming rend emerged as the most favorable, with capacity of 772 Mt CO 2 , strong injectivity, and economic viability. The Resdeln–Duncan trend followed closely, having a storage capacity of 366 Mt CO 2 , offering similar geological advantages but located farther from proposed pipelines. The Craigend–Lindbergh trend, while less optimal geologically with smaller capacity of 227 Mt CO 2 storage, aligns well with the planned Oil Sands Pathways Alliance CO₂ hub, making it a strategic complementary site. In contrast, the Devonian carbonate reservoirs in the Granor–Ukalta trend ranked lowest due to poor injectivity, long transport distances and lower capacity of 154 Mt. Altogether, the top three trends offer nearly 1400 Mt of storage potential. This study pinpoints high-potential CO₂ storage zones, providing insights for regional carbon management strategies. Integrating shallow gas reservoirs into Alberta’s CCS infrastructure could accelerate near-term carbon removal while reinforcing long-term net-zero objectives.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100529","authors":["Zhuoheng Chen","Wanju Yuan","Xiaolong Peng","Di Lu","Hyojong Lee"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-11T00:56:18Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100529","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.973Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.2025644017","name":"A Subsurface Scenario Modelling Approach for Evaluating CO2 Storage Potential in Saline Aquifers","source":"crossref","abstract":"Summary CO2 storage evaluation in saline aquifers often resembles greenfield evaluation, where geological and petrophysical data are limited.

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) offers a portfolio of solutions to mitigate these emissions, encompassing pre-combustion, post-combustion, oxy-fuel combustion, and direct air capture (DAC) technologies. This review synthesizes advancements in CO2 capture materials including liquid absorbents (amines, amino acids, ionic liquids, hydroxides/carbonates), solid adsorbents (metal–organic frameworks, zeolites, carbon-based materials, metal oxides), hybrid sorbents, and emerging hydrogel-based systems and their integration with utilization and storage routes. Special emphasis is given to CO2 mineralization using mine tailings, steel slag, fly ash, and bauxite residue, as well as biological mineralization employing carbonic anhydrase (CA) immobilized in hydrogels. The techno-economic performance of these pathways is compared, highlighting that while high-capacity sorbents offer scalability, hydrogels and biomineralization excel in low-temperature regeneration and integration with waste valorization. Challenges remain in cost reduction, material stability under industrial flue gas conditions, and integration with renewable energy systems.

As global efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions intensify, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has emerged as a key strategy for reducing the environmental impact of fossil fuel use. However, geological storage of CO₂ in structurally complex and heterogeneous reservoirs presents a range of issues due to the geological intricacies, with implications for storage capacity estimation, CO₂ injection, migration, and even long-term containment, which pose environmental risks. Therefore, this study assesses the CO₂ storage potential of the depleted F-O Gas Field in the Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South Africa, using a robust modelling approach based on the analysis of a suite of exploration and production datasets from the field. A high degree of structural compartmentalisation with a fault-bounded anticlinal trap characterises the field. The Valanginian-age marine sandstone reservoirs exhibit low to moderate porosity and permeability. In total, a CO₂ storage capacity of 185.3 Mt was determined for the F-O gas field, which reduces to 37.1–74.1 Mt after accounting for reservoir heterogeneity and sweep efficiency. This reduction reflects the impact of the field's complex structural architecture, variable facies distribution, and petrophysical variability, which collectively limit the effective pore volume accessible for CO 2 storage. By rigorously integrating the structural architecture of the field, sedimentary processes, facies distribution, and petrophysical variability of the candidate reservoir, this study provides critical insights and strategies into the feasibility of CCS in structurally complex depleted gas fields. Significantly, these findings contribute to ongoing national CCS assessments and support South Africa’s long-term decarbonisation agenda.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100499","authors":["S.

Impact of variations in vesicular layer thickness in stacked CFB systems on pore pressure buildup, as well as the influence of different in-situ stress fields on geo-mechanical risks, remain largely underexplored. To answer these questions, a total of 90 flow simulations were conducted in two 3D reservoir domains to assess CO2 behaviour under pilot to industrial scale injection scenarios, for both supercritical-CO2 and CO2-enriched water. Results suggest that maximum residual gas saturation, near-wellbore permeability and porosity heterogeneity are key variables controlling residual trapping, pore pressure buildup and pore space utilization. Thinner layers were more sensitive to pressure buildup but offered better pore space utilization. Geo-mechanical analyses suggests that reverse-fault conditions with a moderate tectonic stress regime are safer in terms of rock stability.

This paper summarizes a method that utilizes ensemble-based approaches to create a range of realizations that represent uncertainty from the outset, to characterize uncertainties in static geomodels. A dynamic simulation is performed on each of these geomodel realizations using a modified invasion percolation simulator to improve model runtimes and deliver accurate representations of plume migration. The simulation outcomes are compared to known plume distributions to assess conceptual leakage risks.

This shale serves as a caprock for the Mt. Simon injection zone in the planned CO2 injection well and therefore, borehole enlargement had to be minimized to provide zonal isolation and containment for injection. After drilling the CO2 injection well, a comparison was made between the predrill prediction and actual results. Borehole enlargement was experienced at depths predicted by the predrill model, but borehole enlargement severity was minimized with improved drilling practices. To determine the formation stability, an MEM was built using offset well data and was calibrated with both borehole and regional data. Multiple stress models were examined, and calibration for unconfined compressive strength (UCS) values was provided from core tests in other wells. After calibration, the data was correlated to the planned well trajectory using formation tops, and the stresses were recalculated. The largest areas of uncertainty in the predrill prediction existed in the Eau Claire shale UCS and the maximum horizontal stress magnitude. Available shale core testing for UCS was likely biased toward stronger intact samples. The principle stress ordering and magnitudes from offset well testing showed a shallow thrust fault environment with deeper strike-slip environment. Increasing mud weight to reasonable levels would not prevent shear failure in the Eau Claire shale as predicted by the models. Therefore, it was important to monitor the wellbore while drilling through the shale and mitigate borehole enlargement. For monitoring borehole enlargement, material across the shakers from the drilling process was examined for cavings. Digital pictures of the rock cuttings/cavings samples were taken before reaching the Eau Claire shale and through the interval. Mechanical vibration and backreaming were kept to a minimum across the Eau Claire shale while this section was open to minimize borehole enlargement.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/126624-ms","authors":["D.

CO2 capture, geological utilization, and storage (CCUS) is crucial for CO2 mitigation in fossil-fuel-based industries at scale. Here, an integrated techno-economic assessment model is built to assess the potential of CCUS retrofitting in the crude steel industry. According to this assessment, the total CO2 emissions from 277 crude steel manufacturers represent about 1.76 billion tons. This systematic evaluation provides preliminary answers to critical questions, such as the factory inventory suitable for CCUS retrofitting, matched geological sites, CO2 mitigation magnitude, and related cost characteristics. Furthermore, the contribution of CCUS to the carbon neutralization of the crude steel industry is predicted. With a 60% and 85% net mitigation rate, more than 53% and 82% of CO2 emissions (942 Mt and 1466 Mt/a) in the crude steel plants can be mitigated with levelized costs of less than 60 USD/t. Suitable plants are mainly distributed in regions in or near the Bohai Bay, Junggar, Jianghan, and Ordos basins. The mitigation potential model predicts that the contribution of CCUS will be in the range of 17.6%–56.5% depending on carbon price or supporting policy, and the cumulative cost will be in the range of 189–633 billion USD. The stochastic analysis shows that the fraction of cumulative CO2 mitigation follows the normal distribution of N (39%, 3.2%), and the related incremental cost follows N (305, 39) billion USD.

Monitoring pressure dynamics (buildup and falloff) is a fundamental and pragmatic reservoir surveillance technique for monitoring sequestration performance. The Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (SECARB) field project conducted by the Gulf Coast Carbon Center with support from the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and managed by the Southern States Energy Board (SSEB) at Denbury Resources' Cranfield Field in southwest Mississippi provides a unique opportunity to monitor large-scale (&amp;gt;106 tons) CO2 injection on the flank of an anticline at 3 km depth. Prior to large-scale CO2 injection, the reservoir has been shut-in for decades and was near hydrostatic pressures when injection commenced. Thus, the initial pressure buildup prior to production is similar to what would be expected for many brine sequestration projects. The evolving CO2 distribution and pressure perturbation has been monitored continuously for over one year. This paper presents the monitoring well design, including a novel dual completion for above-zone monitoring, and presents real-time pressure data recorded in the injection interval. Correlation of changes in CO2 injection rates from eleven injection wells throughout the field with observed pressure response at the observation well are used to demonstrate the sensitivity of this monitoring technique for quantifying CO2 fluxes within the reservoir, and to illustrate the sealing nature of a reservoir-scale fault in the field during CO2 injection. At Cranfield, subsurface pressure monitoring is capable of detecting CO2 fluxes (injection rate changes) corresponding to as little as hundreds of tons per day at distances up to 1 km. The reservoir appears to have a predictable response of the rate of pressure change at the observation well for injection perturbations of variable rates and distances, suggesting that rates of observed pressure change that are uncorrelated with injection changes could be used to detect, quantify, and locate unanticipated migration of CO2 out of the injection zone.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/127087-ms","authors":["T.

The results show that all of the studied options for CO₂ utilization can improve the climate performance of biomethane, in some cases contributing to negative CO₂ emissions. One of the best options, from a climate impact perspective, is to use the CO₂ internally to produce more methane, although continuous supply of hydrogen from renewable sources can be a challenge.

With the growing global population comes an ever-increasing need for energy. The current global energy supply is still being satisfied primarily by fossil fuels. The worldwide combustion of fossil fuels has released huge amounts of greenhouse gases (GHGs), particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), into the atmosphere. To keep global mean temperature rise below 1.5°C, GHG emissions must be minimized and become net zero by 2050. One of the best methods of reducing GHG emissions is by capturing CO2 using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology from industries and power plants. Three commonly utilized CCS processes are absorption, adsorption, and membrane techniques. Absorption is the most established technique, but suffers from degradation of equipment due to corrosive absorbents and costly absorbent regeneration. Meanwhile, adsorption does not perform well in large-scale applications because the adsorbents have relatively lesser capacity and capability to seperate CO2 than absorption technique. Compared to absorption and adsorption, membrane technique requires lower energy to operate, but becomes inefficient with low partial pressures of CO2. In this review, the mechanisms of CO2 capture using absorption, adsorption, and membrane techniques as well as their pros and cons are discussed in detail.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21741/9781644903575-45","authors":["Hong Tan CHUNG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-17T14:08:31Z","doi":"10.21741/9781644903575-45","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.974Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.30574/wjarr.2025.26.2.1433","name":"The integration of Artificial Intelligence in carbon capture, utilization and storage for environmental sustainability in the oil and gas industry","source":"crossref","abstract":"The oil and gas industry are the main driver of the world's greenhouse gas emissions and countermeasures are required to achieve international targets for reducing emissions.

The economy expanded by an average annual rate of about 10% during the last thirty years. That is more than triple the average growth rate of the world economy during the same period. The rapid economic development has been associated with growing energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission. Although the first phase of the Kyoto Protocol exempts China from reducing its own CO 2 output, China, as the first or second largest CO 2 emission country, is facing growing international political pressure. As a responsible big country, China will almost certainly have to respond to climate change in the future. China is entering unexpected fast development period of the industrialization, urbanization and motorization, in which large-scale new infrastructures will be built. This provides great opportunity to plan for longer-term CO 2 mitigation—the infrastructures built today have a long life time and are not easy to upgrade the technologies involved, and decisions made now will have a major impact on energy utilization mode and CO 2 mitigation technology option in coming years. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as an option in the portfolio of mitigation actions to combat climate change, is expected to have far-reaching implications for China. This paper (1) explores the strategic significance of CCS for China by making an extreme scenario analysis of Chinese power sector in 2030; (2) provides an overview of the recent CCS activities in China; and (3) identifies the major challenges with respect to CCS development in China and put forwards immediate strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2009.02.190","authors":["Hengwei Liu","Kelly Sims Gallagher"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2009-04-09T04:46:54Z","doi":"10.1016/j.egypro.2009.02.190","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.974Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ccst.2023.100157","name":"Cellulose-based materials for carbon capture and conversion","source":"crossref","abstract":"With the worldwide attention on decreasing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is utilized to stop CO2 from escaping into the atmosphere.

Prospects for escaping this “carbon lock-in” and the related environmental and climate impacts are unfavorable at present (Unruh 2000; 2002; Perkins 2003; Unruh and Carrillo-Hermosilla 2006).

We ask whether CCS could contribute to a sustainable future electricity system, and whether it is likely to be available in terms of time, costs, and regulatory and institutional framework so that the challenges of climate change mitigation currently under discussion can be met. We start with an overview of the current state of CCS technology, its economics and environmental performance, and discuss the challenges facing the technology and its deployment. From this, we portray the process of innovation in Germany and the factors influencing it. As CCS is at an early stage of development, and as its diffusion dynamics are strongly dependent on the engagement of actors, specific attention is given to the setting of the actors and actor constellations in Germany. We then discuss the possibilities and needs for shaping the framework conditions for innovation in such a way that CCS may contribute to a sustainable electricity system to a suitable extent.

The second proposal provides that capture, transport and storage of CO2 are activities under Annex I of the Emissions Trading Directive, without any free allocation (as they are abatement activities). Emissions captured, transported and safely stored will be considered as not emitted under the ETS, but allowances will have to be surrendered for any leakage. Auctioning revenues from the third phase of the ETS (which proposes full auctioning for the power sector) will provide a potential source of finance for CCS demonstration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2009.02.259","authors":["Scott Brockett"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2009-04-09T04:46:54Z","doi":"10.1016/j.egypro.2009.02.259","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.974Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-323-90540-4.00015-6","name":"Current advances, challenges, and prospects of CO2 capture, storage, and utilization","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-323-90540-4.00015-6","authors":["Tahereh Jafary","Anteneh Mesfin Yeneneh","Jimoh Adewole","Asma Al Kharousi","Thirumalai Kumar","Dev Raj","Alok Kumar","Prerna Tripathi","A.S.K.

Based on the traditional membrane-cryogenic hybrid CO2 capture process, a membrane-cryogenic hybrid CO2 capture process coupled with Liquefied Natural Gas cold energy generation was proposed in this paper. In the proposed process, LNG cold energy and high temperature flue gas heat energy were used to drive Organic Rankine Cycle power generation and reduced carbon capture energy consumption. The effects of key parameters (membrane pressure, membrane temperature, cryogenic pressure, and cryogenic temperature) on the performance of the process (CO2 purity, CO2 recovery, and specific energy consumption) were analyzed by single factor analysis. The process parameters were optimized by response surface analysis, the optimized system resulted in an CO2 purity of 98.39%, CO2 recovery of 90.16%, and specific energy consumption of 605 kJ/kg which was much lower than that of the same type of carbon capture process.

Of the various responses to this “super wicked problem”, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one that has been mooted in Australia during recent years. While many commentators continue to question the technological and economic feasibility of CCS, a number of Australian governments have adopted a proactive stance to CCS by amending or enacting legislation to regulate CCS activities in their respective jurisdictions. To date, there has been little critical examination of these legislative regimes and their implications for the future role of CCS in Australia. Accordingly, this article will focus upon one central area of CCS regulation that has not been comprehensively addressed by the existing literature – that is, the extent to which emerging legislative regimes for regulating CCS activities in Australia facilitate access to procedural justice. Access to procedural justice will generally be facilitated in circumstances where the law gives procedural rights to members of the community of justice to: have access to information, participate in decision-making processes, and have access to review procedures before a court or tribunal to challenge decision-making or impairment of substantive or procedural rights. This article undertakes a comparative analysis of the laws that have been enacted or amended to regulate CCS activities in Australian jurisdictions in order to identify standards of best practice for facilitating access to procedural justice. It finds that while many of the laws regulating CCS activities in Australia reflect clear attempts by government to facilitate access to procedural justice, some of these laws fall short of facilitating access to procedural justice in an adequate or sufficient manner. Recommendations for law reform are made with the aim of providing guidance as to how Australian CCS laws can better facilitate access to procedural justice in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2555123","authors":["Guy Dwyer"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-01-28T11:06:40Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2555123","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.974Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2172/2563413","name":"SC-03: Application of Machine Learning to Support CCS Deployment","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objective of the workshop is to provide an overview of machine-learning based SMART tools with special emphasis on two tools: SMARTSeis (for site characterization) and ModelExplorer (for Scenario analysis).","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/2563413","authors":["Hema Siriwardane","Hari Viswanathan","Ting Chen","Maruti Mudunuru","Ashton Kirol"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-03T02:12:12Z","doi":"10.2172/2563413","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.974Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/en15103505","name":"Future Technology Mix—Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS)—An Overview of Selected Projects as an Example for Future Investments in Poland","source":"crossref","abstract":"Rising fuel prices, changes in energy markets, and concern for the environment make it necessary to develop new solutions and technologies.

However, despite the theoretical potential of CCS technology to reduce emissions, its widespread deployment progresses slower than expected. This review deeply discusses the current situation, challenges, and future development countermeasures of each link of the CCS technology chain. The analysis indicates that there is a significant gap in the maturity of each link in the CCS technology chain. For example, the carbon capture technology is relatively advanced, while the verification of the storage link is relatively lagging, which seriously restricts the widespread deployment of CCS technology. To solve the above problems, this review proposes to establish a CCS deployment framework guided by the technology-scenario matching decision model. At the same time, a phased implementation path is proposed: in the near term (2025-2035), cluster-based deployment reduces unit costs, and in the long term, the synergy of the technology chain will be optimized with the help of artificial intelligence.

Downhole double barriers were necessary in addition to barrier verification to ensure zero leakage across the well isolation barriers. Maintaining well barrier integrity and monitoring pressure and temperature below the tubing hanger plug were key. To achieve a proper barrier and verify the installed barriers, a service company delivered an engineered solution involving a unique combination of proprietary retrievable bridge plug (RBP) and a downhole telemetry system with wireless acoustic communication capability. Displayed real-time data enabled the operator to confirm the well was successfully isolated and barriers were safely set. This downhole telemetry system deploys surface-powered equipment for monitoring pressure below the RBP to evaluate barrier integrity quickly and accurately throughout the well suspension process. It achieves this using acoustic wireless transmission of downhole information to the surface for interpretation without the need for e-logs. This field-proven well communication system can monitor well integrity for extensive suspension durations (more than 500 hours for two wells), delivering valuable, reliable verification data while simultaneously setting the barrier and testing for leaks in a single run. The simple integrity verification accommodated safe X-mas tree removal in a critical HSE environment. Downhole wireless telemetry was continuously maintained throughout the entire well maintenance operation. Costs related to \"dry\" wellhead operations were reduced by eliminating the need for wireline mobilization and rig up to secure the well, while also reducing time to verify the barrier. Cost savings were significant per well. Using the service company's proprietary pressure verification system eliminated the need for compressing large volumes of gas to conduct a positive test. It also mitigated risks associated with personnel in the well bay area by performing real-time wireless diagnostics, as well as buildup before equalizing and retrieving the bridge plug. Demonstrating the validity of the lower barrier and deep-set plug, this downhole acoustic telemetry technology proved its superiority to traditional isolation monitoring methods; thus, the operator performed the same procedure during regular maintenance in its other wells. When two wellbore barriers are installed in close proximity, it can be difficult to ensure the integrity of the upper barrier. By measuring the pressure difference over the barriers, the integrity of the shallower barrier can be verified. Traditional practice is to use an anchoring or plug device to build a barrier above, which requires multiple slickline/e-log runs and pressure tests/controls for correct barrier placement. An alternative method is presented involving a unique combination of proprietary RBP and robust downhole acoustic telemetry system for real-time time monitoring, highlighting its success, cost savings, and continued use in additional wells.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/216703-ms","authors":["Firman Paluruan","Vinicios Azevedo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-10-02T00:38:38Z","doi":"10.2118/216703-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.974Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2118/198079-ms","name":"Carbon Capture &amp; Storage Management for Kuwait Oil Company, Kuwait","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) has commissioned a study to determine the potential contribution that Carbon Capture and Storage alone (CCS), Carbon Capture and Storage with Enhanced Oil Recovery (CCS-EOR) or other identified measures could make to reducing Kuwait's / KOC's Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, by implementation of recommendations. This study was examined various methods to reduce GHG emissions, including CCS, and will provide a strategy for the implementation of various GHG emission reduction technologies for KOC of international and national requirements to address the global challenge of climate change, with particular focus on the Middle East and the Oil and Gas industry.

This Plan is based on a package of GHG emission reduction measures that would be cost neutral to KOC. Adopting a similar approach across the whole of Kuwait is expected to reduce emissions by 2030 projections.

With the complexity of the fluid-fluid interactions, is 4D seismic monitoring effective in such situations, and if so, when, and where? As a step towards answering this question, we have evaluated the magnitude and nature of 4D signals in a geological and complex fluid setting by running simulations, examining fluid interactions, and generating synthetic seismic using well log data (Log2Seis). A fluid analysis and rock physics modelling was conducted prior to our Log2Seis analysis. From the preliminary results, we concluded that injecting CO2 into an oil reservoir appears much more visible on a good, towed streamer as compared to CO2 injection into a gas reservoir.To determine if seismic monitoring of CCS is effective for a field, one should compare the magnitude of 4D signals against the non-repeatability of the existing 4D seismic acquisition. We also conclude that planning for such 4D seismic surveys is dependent on the time scales required, whether short term during the major injection period or longer term to monitor conformance and integrity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202374024","authors":["S.Y.

A viable option is to utilize biomass production potential of microalgal consortium in aquatic ecosystem that constantly requires CO2 to perform photosynthesis. This study aims to provide scientific contributions to the development of environmental studies, particularly of using microalgal consortiums as carbon capture and storage (CCS) agent by engineering their culture conditions. A number of studies analyzing biological reduction of atmospheric CO2 by using CO2 absorption capability of terrestrial plants have been facing many difficulties. Compared to various terrestrial plants, microalgae are generally considered photosynthetically more efficient. Exploitation of microalgal capability has numerous advantages, including their faster regeneration time, ability to grow in less space than terrestrial plants, and because the cultivation of microalgae can be done on a small-scale or large-scale operation, under controlled conditions, and is independent to climatic changes. Taking into account long-term advantages, this study is a preliminary study which is expected to be able to provide information and feedback regarding integrated microalgal culture system that may lead to alternative solutions of eco-friendly and sustainable environmental management technology that are capable of mitigating environmental problems caused by CO2 (as greenhouse gas) emissions. Hence, the results of this research could be implemented by building urban microalgal ponds in efforts to develop sustainable cities in terms of CO2 emission reduction in urban areas.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5772/62915","authors":["Astri Rinanti"],"tags":["Photobioreactor","Environmental science","Greenhouse gas","Biomass (ecology)","Global warming"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-06-29","doi":"10.5772/62915","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.974Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.energy.2022.125361","name":"Decarbonising Vietnam's power and industry sectors by carbon capture and storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2022.125361","authors":["Harsha Kumar Bokka","Hon Chung Lau"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-09-09T20:34:08Z","doi":"10.1016/j.energy.2022.125361","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.974Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2307/jj.18323828.16","name":"Evidence-Based Climate Law?","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2307/jj.18323828.16","authors":["Bettina Lange"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-06T16:25:13Z","doi":"10.2307/jj.18323828.16","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:18.974Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"oa:W4323045953","name":"Can Green Credit Policies Accelerate the Realization of the Dual Carbon Goal in China?

This study investigates the impacts of geochemical and biochemical reactions on UHS, addressing challenges that threaten storage efficiency and safety. Geochemical reactions in saline aquifers, particularly the generation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), were analyzed using advanced compositional and geochemical modeling calibrated with experimental kinetic data. The results indicate that geochemical reactions have a minimal effect on hydrogen consumption. However, by year 10 of storage operations, H2S levels could reach 12–13 ppm, necessitating desulfurization to maintain storage performance and safety. The study also examines the methanogenesis reaction, where microorganisms consume hydrogen and carbon dioxide to produce methane. Numerical simulations reveal that microbial activity under suitable conditions can reduce in situ hydrogen volume by up to 50%, presenting a critical hurdle to UHS feasibility. These findings highlight the necessity of conducting microbial analyses of reservoir brines during the screening phase to mitigate hydrogen losses. The novelty of this work lies in its comprehensive field-scale analysis of impurity-induced geochemical and microbial reactions and their implications for underground hydrogen storage. By integrating kinetic parameters derived from experimental data with advanced computational modeling, this study uncovers the mechanisms driving these reactions and highlights their impact on storage efficiency, and safety. By offering a detailed field-scale perspective, the findings provide a pivotal framework for advancing future hydrogen storage projects and ensuring their practical viability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/hydrogen6010004","authors":["Rana Al Homoud","Marcos Vitor Barbosa Machado","Hugh Daigle","Harun Ates"],"tags":["Cushion","Hydrogen storage","Environmental science","Hydrogen","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/hydrogen6010004","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.737Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.737Z"},{"id":"oa:W3126659815","name":"Continuous Dynamics of Dissolved Methane Over 2 Years and its Carbon Isotopes (δ13C, Δ14C) in a Small Arctic Lake in the Mackenzie Delta","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Seasonally ice‐covered permafrost lakes in the Arctic emit methane to the atmosphere during periods of open‐water. However, processes contributing to methane cycling under‐ice have not been thoroughly addressed despite the potential for significant methane emission to the atmosphere at ice‐out. We studied annual dissolved methane dynamics within a small (0.2 ha) Mackenzie River Delta lake using sensor and water sampling packages that autonomously and continuously collected lake water samples, respectively, for two years at multiple water column depths. Lake physical and biogeochemical properties (temperature; light; concentrations of dissolved oxygen, manganese, iron, and dissolved methane, including stable carbon, and radiocarbon isotopes) revealed annual patterns. Dissolved methane concentrations increase under‐ice after electron acceptors (oxygen, manganese, and iron oxides) are depleted or inaccessible from the water column. The radiocarbon age of dissolved methane suggests a source from recently decomposed carbon as opposed to thawed ancient permafrost. Sources of dissolved methane under‐ice include a diffusive flux from the sediments and may include water column methanogenesis and/or under‐ice hydrodynamic controls. Following ice‐out, the water column only partially mixes allowing half of the winter‐derived dissolved methane to be microbially oxidized. Despite oxidation at depth, surface water was a source of methane to the atmosphere. The greatest diffusive fluxes to the atmosphere occurred following ice‐out (75 mmol CH4 m−2 d−1) and during a mixing episode in mid‐July, likely driven by a storm event. This study demonstrates the importance of fine‐scale temporal sampling to understand dissolved methane processes in seasonally ice‐covered lakes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2020jg006038","authors":["H.

The main themes in the scientific literature on CO2-EOR in the North Sea are climate change, economics, and geological feasibility. Monitoring, safety, and leakage in addition to transportation of CO2 are less salient. The results show that there are contrasting framings in the literature. One framing is that CO2-EOR is a gateway to large-scale storage which maintains, or even expands, the extraction of fossil fuels and contributes to a sustainable transition in the long run through knowledge building and shared infrastructure. In contrast, another framing is that CO2-EOR combined with CCS have goal conflicts and are therefore not compatible, illustrating complexities with geological storage.

The present work introduces a new approach that addresses the growing global carbon emissions issue by integrating CO2 capture and sequestration through the carbonation of recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs), producing an alternative sand (AS) product. This study explores the capture of low-concentration CO2 and its suitability for sequestration into RCA. The integration of RCA in the process allows concrete manufacturers to reduce their reliance on mined sand, thereby minimizing its impact on the environment. A techno-economic analysis (TEA) was conducted on the CO2 absorption and mineralization process to assess its economic viability across various processing scales, from 150 kt CO2 per year to 1 Mt CO2 per year. Initial bench-scale experiments show that RCA samples have a carbonation capacity of 10% by mass—these experimental results were used to conduct a TEA using Aspen Plus and an Aspen Process Economic Analyzer (APEA). The TEA results reveal a cost of 11.02 USD/t AS at the smallest scale and 8.02 USD/t AS at the largest scale.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr13020410","authors":["Wayne Goh","Suming Ye","Roy Ou Yong","Kit Huan Tham","Cun Wang","Longgang Tao","Shuying Cheng"],"tags":["Mineralization (soil science)","Environmental science","Waste management","Engineering","Soil science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr13020410","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.737Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.737Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410998187","name":"Economic Analysis of Nuclear Energy Cogeneration: A Comprehensive Review on Integrated Utilization","source":"openalex","abstract":"Nuclear energy cogeneration, which integrates electricity generation with thermal energy utilization, presents a transformative pathway for enhancing energy efficiency and decarbonizing industrial and urban sectors. This comprehensive review synthesizes advancements in technological stratification, economic modeling, and sectoral practices to evaluate the viability of nuclear cogeneration as a cornerstone of low-carbon energy transitions. By categorizing applications based on temperature requirements (low: <250 °C, medium: 250–550 °C, high: >550 °C), the study highlights the adaptability of reactor technologies, including light water reactors (LWRs), high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), and molten salt reactors (MSRs), to sector-specific demands. Key findings reveal that nuclear cogeneration systems achieve thermal efficiencies exceeding 80% in low-temperature applications and reduce CO2 emissions by 1.5–2.5 million tons annually per reactor by displacing fossil fuel-based heat sources. Economic analyses emphasize the critical role of cost allocation methodologies, with exergy-based approaches reducing levelized costs by 18% in high-temperature applications. Policy instruments, such as carbon pricing, value-added tax (VAT) exemptions, and subsidized loans, enhance project viability, elevating net present values by 25–40% for district heating systems. Case studies from Finland, China, and Canada demonstrate operational successes, including 30% emission reductions in oil sands processing and hydrogen production costs as low as USD 3–5/kg via thermochemical cycles. Hybrid nuclear–renewable systems further stabilize energy supply, reducing the levelized cost of heat by 18%. The review underscores the necessity of integrating Generation IV reactors, thermal storage, and policy alignment to unlock nuclear cogeneration’s full potential in achieving global decarbonization and energy security goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18112929","authors":["Guancong Jia","Guifeng Zhu","Yang Zou","Yuwen Ma","Ye Dai","Jianhui Wu","Jian Tian"],"tags":["Cogeneration","Energy (signal processing)","Economic analysis","Environmental economics","Economic feasibility"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18112929","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.737Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.737Z"},{"id":"oa:W2616637335","name":"Exoplanet Biosignatures: A Review of Remotely Detectable Signs of Life","source":"openalex","abstract":"In the coming years and decades, advanced space- and ground-based observatories will allow an unprecedented opportunity to probe the atmospheres and surfaces of potentially habitable exoplanets for signatures of life. Life on Earth, through its gaseous products and reflectance and scattering properties, has left its fingerprint on the spectrum of our planet. Aided by the universality of the laws of physics and chemistry, we turn to Earth's biosphere, both in the present and through geologic time, for analog signatures that will aid in the search for life elsewhere. Considering the insights gained from modern and ancient Earth, and the broader array of hypothetical exoplanet possibilities, we have compiled a comprehensive overview of our current understanding of potential exoplanet biosignatures, including gaseous, surface, and temporal biosignatures. We additionally survey biogenic spectral features that are well known in the specialist literature but have not yet been robustly vetted in the context of exoplanet biosignatures. We briefly review advances in assessing biosignature plausibility, including novel methods for determining chemical disequilibrium from remotely obtainable data and assessment tools for determining the minimum biomass required to maintain short-lived biogenic gases as atmospheric signatures. We focus particularly on advances made since the seminal review by Des Marais et al. The purpose of this work is not to propose new biosignature strategies, a goal left to companion articles in this series, but to review the current literature, draw meaningful connections between seemingly disparate areas, and clear the way for a path forward.

In this work, four types of “polarity adaptive carbon dots” ( pad ‐CDs) that can dissolve in water, organic solvents, ionic liquids, and even emulsion gels are designed. The introduction of hydrophilic imidazole ionic liquids (ILs) provided abundant functional groups on the surface of CDs derived from phenylenediamine (PDA) isomers. Thus, the pad ‐CDs can maintain uniform dispersion over a wide concentration range even in water. Spectral analysis for pad ‐CDs in seven kinds of solvents shows that the surface dipole moment of pad ‐CDs changed and the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state is generated after excitation when pad ‐CDs adapted to the solvent polarity. Subsequently, heterogeneous environments with microscopic bicontinuous and microscopic phase separation are set up to observe the PL of pad ‐CDs. All selected pad ‐CDs adapted to heterogeneous environments, showing bright PL and modifying the corresponding environment simultaneously.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adom.202403394","authors":["Xiaoqian Liu","Ning Feng","Xiaofeng Sun","Hongguang Li"],"tags":["Materials science","Dissolution","Ionic liquid","Luminescence","Polarity (international relations)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adom.202403394","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.737Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.737Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415299938","name":"Optimizing Renewable Microgrid Performance Through Hydrogen Storage Integration","source":"openalex","abstract":"The global transition to a low-carbon energy system requires innovative solutions that integrate renewable energy production with storage and utilization technologies.

Unlike previous studies focusing on short-term desorption, this research uniquely examines long-term gas emission without vacuum intervention, simulating real-world conditions in abandoned mines. The results highlight coal’s strong CO₂ retention, with higher pressures amplifying deformation but not necessarily adsorption, due to confining pressure effects. Optimal saturation times of 1500 min for pressures below 30 bar and 2700 min for higher pressures are recommended. Using a novel triaxial testing apparatus, coal samples from the Chamestan region, Iran, were subjected to CO₂ saturation at injection pressures of 15, 30, and 35 bar for 3000 min, followed by emission over 3150 min. Key findings reveal that CO₂ adsorption increases with pressure, inducing axial strains of 0.517%, 0.559%, and 0.678% at 15, 30, and 35 bar, respectively, driven by gas diffusion and fracture formation. Post-emission, axial strains reduced to 0.087%, 0.071%, and 0.054%, indicating irreversible structural changes. Cyclic tests showed a significant decline in adsorption capacity, with axial strain dropping from 0.560% to 0.331% in a second cycle without vacuum treatment, recovering to 0.445% after vacuum treatment.

At the watershed scale, ULS data were used to estimate the AGB and vegetation carbon storage of R. pseudoacacia plantations in the Caijiachuan watershed. The analysis revealed a total of 68,992 trees, with a total carbon storage of 2890.34 Mg and a carbon density of 62.46 Mg ha−1. Low-density forest areas (<1500 trees ha−1) dominated the landscape, accounting for 94.38% of the tree count, 82.62% of the area, and 92.46% of the carbon storage. Analysis of tree-ring data revealed significant variation in the onset of growth decline across different density classes of plantations aged 0–30 years, with higher-density stands exhibiting delayed growth decline compared to lower-density stands. Compared to traditional methods based on diameter at breast height (DBH), carbon storage assessments demonstrated superior accuracy and scientific validity. This study underscores the feasibility and potential of ULS technology for AGB and carbon storage estimation in regions with complex terrain, such as the Loess Plateau. It highlights the importance of accounting for topographic factors to enhance estimation accuracy. The findings provide valuable data support for density management and high-quality development of R. pseudoacacia plantations in the Caijiachuan watershed and present an efficient approach for precise forest carbon sink accounting.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/rs17081365","authors":["Yawei Hu","Ruoxiu Sun","Miaomiao He","Jiongchang Zhao","Yang Li","Shengze Huang","Jianjun Zhang"],"tags":["Watershed","Environmental science","Sample (material)","Laser scanning","Remote sensing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/rs17081365","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.737Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.737Z"},{"id":"oa:W2806451491","name":"India in 2 °C and well below 2 °C worlds: Opportunities and challenges","source":"openalex","abstract":"India's contributions to meeting global mean temperature increases of 2 °C or well below 2 °C would require transformational changes in its energy systems.

Scientometric and qualitative analysis methods were used. The results showed the following: (1) The number of articles published reveals an increasing trend, especially after 2009, with China, the USA, and England paying more attention to it. (2) Studies mainly focus on four key research topics: the impacts of land use and land cover change (LULCC) on carbon stocks, the relationship between land use structure/spatial form and carbon emissions, and the paths and schemes for low-carbon spatial planning. (3) Studies usually use upscale, homoscale, and downscale routes to correlate carbon emissions to land and then use comparative analysis, regression analysis, spatial analysis, and scenario simulation methods to conduct further analyses. (4) Studies have yielded some consensus: human land use can influence carbon emissions through LULCC, land use structure and spatial form, and spatial planning can reduce carbon emissions.

Together with supporting fisheries production, protecting shorelines from erosion, and supplying timber and non-timber products to communities, blue carbon ecosystems offer investment opportunities through carbon markets, thus supporting climate change mitigation and sustainable livelihoods. The current study assessed above- and below-ground biomass, sediment carbon, and the capacity of the blue carbon ecosystems in Kwale and Lamu Counties, Kenya, to capture and store carbon. This was followed by mapping of hotspot areas of degradation and the identification of investment opportunities in blue carbon credits. Carbon densities in mangroves were estimated at 560.23 Mg C ha−1 in Lamu and 526.34 Mg C ha−1 in Kwale, with sediments accounting for more than 70% of the stored carbon. In seagrass ecosystems, carbon densities measured 171.65 Mg C ha−1 in Lamu and 220.29 Mg C ha−1 in Kwale, values that surpass the national average but are consistent with global figures. Mangrove cover is declining at 0.49% yr−1 in Kwale and 0.16% yr−1 in Lamu, while seagrass losses in Lamu are 0.67% yr−1, with a 0.34% yr−1 increase in Kwale. Under a business-as-usual scenario, mangrove loss over 30 years will result in emissions of 4.43 million tCO2e in Kwale and 18.96 million tCO2e in Lamu. Effective interventions could enhance carbon sequestration from 0.12 to 3.86 million tCO2e in Kwale and 0.62 to 19.52 million tCO2e in Lamu.

While wind and solar technologies provide lower cost electricity, enhanced energy storage and transmission infrastructure come at a cost for managing renewable intermittency. Energy storage systems vary in characteristics and costs, and future grids will incorporate multiple technologies, yet the optimal combination of storage technologies and the role of interconnectors in alleviating storage needs are not widely explored. This study focuses on optimal generation-storage capacity requirements to elucidate associated investments. We propose a multitimescale storage solution consisting of three storage categories and an interconnector between Australia's eastern and western grids. Subsequently, through an extensive sensitivity analysis, we investigate the impact of specific storage technologies and cost variations. Our findings demonstrate that the proposed interconnector offers a cost-effective solution, reducing generation and storage power capacity needs by 6 and 14%, respectively, resulting in 4% savings on overall investment costs. Moreover, the study's sensitivity analysis reveals that wind generation provides 50-70% of the energy demand for the least-cost solution. Despite storage inefficiencies, long-duration storage would need to be deployed to support power capacity for 2-4 days, representing 15-40% of peak demand, depending on future technology costs. Subsequently, achieving a fully renewable electricity sector in Australia requires a significant expansion of generation and storage infrastructure, with a 13-fold increase in storage power capacity and a 40-fold increase in storage energy capacity compared to existing levels.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pgae127","authors":["Raheel A.

Most studies have not yet assessed the influence on these trajectories of emerging bioeconomy sectors such as biochemicals and renewable jet fuels (RJFs). To support a systems transition, there is also need to demonstrate the impact on the energy system of technology development, biomass and fossil fuel prices. We aim to close this gap by assessing least‐cost pathways to 2030 for a number of scenarios applied to the energy system of the Netherlands, using a cost‐minimization model. The type and magnitude of biomass deployment are highly influenced by technology development, fossil fuel prices and ambitions to mitigate climate change. Across all scenarios, biomass consumption ranges between 180 and 760 PJ and national emissions between 82 and 178 Mt CO2. High technology development leads to additional 100–270 PJ of biomass consumption and 8–20 Mt CO2 emission reduction compared to low technology development counterparts. In high technology development scenarios, additional emission reduction is primarily achieved by bioenergy and carbon capture and storage. Traditional sectors, namely industrial biomass heat and biofuels, supply 61–87% of bioenergy, while wind turbines are the main supplier of renewable electricity. Low technology pathways show lower biochemical output by 50–75%, do not supply RJFs and do not utilize additional biomass compared to high technology development. In most scenarios the emission reduction targets for the Netherlands are not met, as additional reduction of 10–45 Mt CO2 is needed. Stronger climate policy is required, especially in view of fluctuating fossil fuel prices, which are shown to be a key determinant of bioeconomy development. Nonetheless, high technology development is a no‐regrets option to realize deep emission reduction as it also ensures stable growth for the bioeconomy even under unfavourable conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcbb.12447","authors":["Ioannis Tsiropoulos","Ric Hoefnagels","Machteld van den Broek","M.

As global agricultural systems face increasing pressure from climate change, resource scarcity, and nutritional challenges, a strategic synthesis of research is essential to guide future innovation. This review aims to critically assess and synthesize major advancements in sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccharata) research from 2010 to 2025, with the objectives of identifying key genetic improvements, evaluating agronomic innovations, and examining sustainable production strategies that collectively enhance crop performance and resilience. The analysis is structured around three core pillars: genetic improvement, agronomic optimization, and sustainable agriculture, each contributing uniquely to the enhancement of sweet corn productivity and environmental adaptability. In the genetics domain, recent breakthroughs such as CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing and marker-assisted selection have accelerated the development of climate-resilient hybrids with enhanced sweetness, pest resistance, and nutrient content. The growing emphasis on biofortification aims to improve the nutritional quality of sweet corn, aligning with global food security goals. Additionally, studies on genotype–environment interaction have provided deeper insights into varietal adaptability under varying climatic and soil conditions, guiding breeders toward more location-specific hybrid development. From an agronomic perspective, innovations in precision irrigation and refined planting configurations have significantly enhanced water use efficiency, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Research on plant density, nutrient management, and crop rotation has further contributed to yield stability and system resilience. These agronomic practices, when tailored to specific genotypes and environments, ensure sustainable intensification without compromising resource conservation. On the sustainability front, strategies such as reduced-input systems, organic nutrient integration, and climate-resilient hybrids have gained momentum. The adoption of integrated pest management and conservation tillage further promotes sustainable cultivation, reducing the environmental footprint of sweet corn production. By integrating insights from these three dimensions, this review provides a comprehensive roadmap for the future of sweet corn research, merging genetic innovation, agronomic efficiency, and ecological responsibility to achieve resilient and sustainable production systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy15051260","authors":["Hajer Mohamed Ibrahim Sidahmed","Attila Vad","János Nagy"],"tags":["Zea mays","Agronomy","Biology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy15051260","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415897556","name":"AI-driven echelon utilization of retired electric vehicle batteries and their life cycle carbon mitigation potential","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract The rapid retirement of electric vehicle (EV) batteries presents both a challenge of resource management and an opportunity for carbon mitigation. An Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven framework is introduced that couples high-accuracy capacity forecasting with a dynamic life cycle carbon model (LCCO 2 ), enabling intelligent end-of-life decision-making and large-scale repurposing. Analysis of real-world field data from commercial EVs shows that data-driven retirement strategies extend battery service life beyond conventional fixed thresholds, increase usable energy output, and improve classification accuracy of safety margins. Integration into the LCCO 2 model indicates reductions of 14.3% in average life cycle carbon intensity, alongside substantial per-battery CO 2 savings, without compromising operational safety. At scale, projections suggest that second-life deployment of retired EV batteries could deliver tens of tens of millions of metric tons of CO 2 mitigated annually in China and the European Union by mid-century, thereby contributing directly to both regions’ carbon neutrality pathways.

The results show that: (1) under the existing water and carbon quota allocation policy, the profit of coal and power industry in the Yellow River basin will decrease obviously, and the development pressure of coal and power enterprises in the Yellow River basin will increase. (2) Water-carbon constraint has obvious extrusion effect on coal power industry. According to the calculation in this paper, the extrusion capacity will reach 395.17 TWh. (3) The water and carbon quota policy does not constrain the coal power industry at the same time. The existing water quota allocation method matches the ‘2030’ water consumption target, but the carbon quota allocation scheme has weak constraint on the coal and power industry in the Yellow River Basin, so the carbon quota should be tightened.

This paper presents novel findings on the study of the equilibrium adsorption of CO2 on two South African coals measured at four temperatures between 30 and 60 °C and pressures up to 9.0 MPa using the volumetric technique. Additionally, the sorption mechanism and thermodynamic nature of the process were studied by fitting the experimental data into Langmuir–Freundlich (Sips), Tóth, and Dubinin–Astakhov (DA) isotherm models, and the Clausius–Clapeyron equation. The findings indicate that the sorption process is highly exothermic, as presented by a negative temperature effect, with the maximum working capacity estimated to range between 3.46 and 4.16 mmol/g, which is also rank- and maceral composition-dependent, with high-rank vitrinite-rich coal yielding more sorption capacity than low-rank inertinite-rich coal.

To elucidate mechanisms of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total N (STN) storage and dynamics in this ecosystem, I measured the mass and isotopic composition (δ13C, δ15N) of C and N in whole-soil and soil size/density fractions in chronosequences consisting of remnant grasslands (Time 0) and woody plant stands ranging in age from 10-130 years.

Although mostly intended to improve food security and rural incomes, innovations in crop production also have major implications for the environment. Building on the latest productivity estimates from historical crop improvements in developing countries and using a gridded (0.25 degrees) equilibrium model of global agriculture, we assess the impacts of improved crop varieties on cropland use, threatened biodiversity, and terrestrial carbon stocks over 1961–2015. We replicate a historical baseline and produce a counterfactual scenario which shows the impact of omitting productivity improvements from these technologies. The results show that higher crop productivity generally lowered commodity prices, which reduced incentives to expand cropland except in those areas where productivity gains outweighed price declines. The net global effect of technology adoption was to limit conversion of natural habitat to agricultural use, although it did cause cropland to expand in some areas.

The analysis integrates carbon emissions from stockholding, transportation, and deterioration, along with the impact of shortages on total costs. Two distinct scenarios are examined: Case I (without deterioration) and Case II (with deterioration).

While BEV feature the highest tank-to-wheel efficiency, electricity can only be stored for short durations in the energy system (e.g. via pumped-hydro storage or batteries), whereas H2-FCEV and SNG-V have a lower tank-to-wheel efficiency due to additional conversion losses, H2 and SNG can be stored longer in pressurized tanks or the natural gas grid.

The method combines a deep reinforcement learning model that learns optimum placement methods over time, carbon-aware data center profiling, and the hierarchical clustering of virtual machines (VMs) depending on resource constraints. Extensive simulations show that CARBON-DQN beats conventional and state-of-the-art algorithms like GRVMP, NSGA-II, RLVMP, GMPR, and MORLVMP very dramatically. Among many virtual machine configurations—including micro, small, high-CPU, and extra-large instances—it delivers the lowest carbon emissions, lowered SLA violations, and lowest energy usage. Driven by real-time input, the adaptive decision-making capacity of the algorithm allows it to dynamically react to changing data center circumstances and workloads.

Research shows that under different doping conditions, the adsorption energy of CO2 on carbon-based materials can be roughly divided into three levels: when both C=C and C=O double bonds are formed, the adsorption energy reaches the highest level; the structure with the C–N single bond accompanied by the C=O double bond reduces the adsorption energy by one level; and when only C=C double bonds exist, the adsorption energy is at the lowest level.

These are crucial objectives as the country strives to achieve economic development without compromising the environment, given that the two are in an unending conflict in society. Thus, the study’s objective is to examine the role of digitalization, renewable energy use, green supply chain management and upcycling in carbon emissions in Malaysia. It aims to establish whether these factors are statistically significant and offer policy implications for projecting their efficiency gains. Therefore, a quantitative method, using the employed pooled ordinary least squares (POLS) regression analysis, was used to test the correlation between key variables of sustainability and carbon emissions for the period of 2014-2024. The Durbin-Watson test and the VIF analysis were also carried out to test the model that was used to diagnose the independent variables. The outcome reveals that increasing the digital economy’s scale and renewable energy consumption reduces carbon emissions. As for the green supply chain management and upcycling practices, there is no significant correlation between them, which can be attributed to the fact that the implementation of such practices has not reached maturity. Some barriers include lack of infrastructure, policies and inadequate funding that may seasonally limit their maximum capacity. The study implies that digitalization and renewable energy, which mitigate carbon emission practices, work well.

Recent GHG emission trends are consistent with worst-case scenarios of the previous decade. Dramatic and near-term emission reductions likely will be needed to ameliorate the potential deleterious impacts of climate change. To achieve such reductions, fundamental changes are required in the way that energy is generated and used. New technologies must be developed and deployed at a rapid rate. Advances in carbon capture and storage, renewable, nuclear and transportation technologies are particularly important; however, global research and development efforts related to these technologies currently appear to fall short relative to needs. Even with a proactive and international mitigation effort, humanity will need to adapt to climate change, but the adaptation needs and damages will be far greater if mitigation activities are not pursued in earnest. In this review, research is highlighted that indicates increasing global and regional temperatures and ties climate changes to increasing GHG emissions. GHG mitigation targets necessary for limiting future global temperature increases are discussed, including how factors such as population growth and the growing energy intensity of the developing world will make these reduction targets more challenging. Potential technological pathways for meeting emission reduction targets are examined, barriers are discussed, and global and US. modeling results are presented that suggest that the necessary pathways will require radically transformed electric and mobile sectors.

The excellent ORR property of D‐Fe‐N/C is also demonstrated in the liquid zinc‐air batteries (ZABs), which exhibit a high peak power density of 306.1 mW cm−2 and an ultra‐long cycling stability over 1200 h. Moreover, solid‐state laminated ZABs prepared by presetting an air flow layer show a high specific capacity of 818.8 mA h g−1, an excellent cycling stability of 520 h, and a wide temperature‐adaptive from −40 to 60 °C. This work not only offers possibilities by improving metal‐loading and catalytic site utilization for exploring efficient SACs, but also provides strategies for device structure design toward advanced ZABs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202417711","authors":["Liansheng Lan","Yonggan Wu","Yangfan Pei","Yuanhao Wei","Ting Hu","Dirk Lützenkirchen−Hecht","Kai Yuan","Yiwang Chen"],"tags":["Materials science","Catalysis","Zinc","Electrochemistry","Metal"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202417711","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W4388539033","name":"Sustainable Synthesis of Metal-Doped Lignin-Derived Electrospun Carbon Fibers for the Development of ORR Electrocatalysts","source":"openalex","abstract":"The aim of this work is to establish the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) activity of self-standing electrospun carbon fiber catalysts obtained from different metallic salt/lignin solutions.

This insight could help devise strategies for policymakers, oral health practitioners, and researchers to establish more sustainable dental practices. Therefore, the present scoping review was conducted to analyse the current body of literature exploring carbon emissions generated from dental health care services with the aim of promoting sustainable dental practices. METHODS: This scoping review was conducted in line with Arksey and O'Malley's Framework and was reported using the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A systematic database search was conducted across four databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and EMBASE, to collect original research published in English up to June 2024, focusing on carbon emissions in dentistry. Review articles, letters to editors, and editorials were excluded. Selected articles underwent critical appraisal using Crowe's Critical Appraisal Tool, followed by data charting and thematic analysis using Atlas.ti for Mac version 24.1.0. RESULTS: A total of 15 articles were included in this review based on the eligibility criteria. The qualitative thematic analysis of these articles revealed four main themes: sources of carbon emissions, strategies to promote sustainable dental practices, challenges for sustainability, and future research areas. CONCLUSIONS: The review provides a comprehensive understanding of the various sources of carbon emissions associated with dental practices along with the challenges faced towards sustainable clinical practices. The key themes were explored across four hierarchical levels: structural, dental practice, dental practitioner, and method or product. The findings further guided us toward potential strategies for integrating sustainability into dental care, including stakeholder collaboration, policy reform, management practices, infrastructural improvements, and the adoption of environmentally-friendly materials. Additionally, the review highlights the need for future research to explore sustainable alternatives, conduct life cycle impact assessments, and undertake more qualitative studies to inform best practices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12903-025-06952-w","authors":["Rakshita Chalotra","Ramya Shenoy","Parul Dasson Bajaj","Ashwini Rao","Mithun Pai","Praveen Jodalli","Avinash BR","Harsh Priya","Violet D’Souza"],"tags":["Sustainability","Stakeholder engagement","Medicine","Stakeholder","Environmental planning"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-27","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12903-025-06952-w","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W2889055597","name":"Significance of Agricultural Residues in Sustainable Biofuel Development","source":"openalex","abstract":"Bioenergy resources are considered clean and are an integral part of efforts to address the menace of climatic, economic, environmental, and social security challenges consequential from the utilization of fossil fuel, which is currently the main energy source.

This review systematically compares the performance differences between conventional pyrolysis (CP), and microwave-assisted pyrolysis (MAP) technologies in producing carbon materials of varying dimensions, revealing that MAP significantly enhances material performance and process efficiency through its volumetric heating mechanism (eliminating temperature gradients), low thermal mass characteristics (response time of less than 3 min), and energy-selective transfer (activation energy reduction of 40–150 kJ/mol). Research demonstrates that: in the 1D material domain, MAP-synthesized carbon nanofibers reduce reaction time from hours to minutes, compared to traditional chemical vapor deposition, while significantly lowering energy consumption; for 2D graphene, microwave reduction of graphene oxide elevates electrical conductivity from 0.07 to 104 S/m within 2 s, whereas conventional thermal reduction requires temperatures exceeding 800 °C under inert atmospheres and yields products with resistivity as high as 796 μΩ/cm2. In the 3D porous carbon field, MAP exhibits exceptional structural control capabilities: biochar prepared via 15-min MAP achieves a specific surface area of 455.9 m2/g, far exceeding the 288.60 m2/g of biochar from CP after 120 min; for electromagnetic wave absorption applications, MAP-derived tremella-carbon (a fungus) achieves breakthrough performance with a minimum reflection loss RLmin = –77.9 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth EAB = 8.5 GHz. Despite MAP's significant advantages in energy consumption (energy recovery efficiency reaching 97.96%), processing efficiency (heating rate exceeding 100 °C/min), and product performance, its industrialization still faces challenges in equipment costs and scaled reactor design. Future efforts must integrate hydrothermal pretreatment with AI-driven parameter optimization to develop mesopore-oriented processes, thereby advancing this technology in energy storage (target specific capacitance > 500 F/g) and electromagnetic protection (target EAB > 8 GHz) applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48130/scm-0025-0011","authors":["Tianhao Qiu","Kaihan Xie","Chaoyue Liu","Faizan Ahmad","Wenke Zhao","Müslüm Arıcı","Yaning Zhang"],"tags":["Materials science","Pyrolysis","Carbon fibers","Biochar","Graphene"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.48130/scm-0025-0011","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W3035040547","name":"Vanadium sustainability in the context of innovative recycling and sourcing development","source":"openalex","abstract":"This paper addresses the sustainability of vanadium, taking into account the current state-of-the-art related to primary and secondary sources, substitution, production, and market developments.

However, traditional thermodynamic cycles make it difficult to meet the urgent demands of novel energy systems in terms of efficiency, cost, and flexibility. Therefore, the development of novel thermodynamic cycles is of great significance in addressing the challenges of energy utilization. As a natural working medium, carbon dioxide has economic and efficient advantages in energy conversion and energy storage, and the potential of applying carbon dioxide thermodynamic cycles to novel energy systems is being progressively explored. Benefiting from its high density, low viscosity and excellent heat transfer performance, the supercritical carbon dioxide provides high thermal efficiency and enables compact system designs in energy conversion systems. In the field of energy storage, carbon dioxide is easily liquefied, and its density is higher than air under the same state and pressure, which can reduce the storage volume. Therefore, energy storage technology based on carbon dioxide thermodynamic cycles can provide high-density and high-efficiency energy storage solutions for new energy systems. In order to elucidate the application prospects of carbon dioxide thermodynamic cycles, this paper systematically reviews the recent advancements in power generation and energy storage technology based on carbon dioxide thermodynamic cycles, and analyzes its key problems and challenges in the aspects of technology realization, system optimization and engineering application. Firstly, according to the distinct roles of the carbon dioxide working medium in the energy systems, we classify various carbon dioxide thermodynamic cycles and provide a detailed overview of their working principles and characteristics. The technical challenges associated with their application in power generation and large-scale energy storage are analyzed from the perspectives of equipment design, operation control, and engineering demonstration. Secondly, in the field of efficient power generation systems, taking the clean solar thermal power generation system with large installed capacity and traditional coal-fired power generation system as examples, the current status and difficulties of the application of carbon dioxide power cycles are discussed, and the application prospects in novel energy systems are further explored. In the field of large-scale energy storage, the research status and key problems of compressed carbon dioxide energy storage technology are reviewed, supplemented by a discussion on the research progress and development trend in thermodynamic cycle optimization, large-scale storage, and efficient conversion of carbon dioxide. Finally, from the aspects of theory, technology and demonstration application, an outlook on the future research direction of dioxide thermodynamic cycles is put forward.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1360/tb-2025-0076","authors":["Yaling He","Mengjie Li","Jiaqi Guo","Zhanbin Liu"],"tags":["Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1360/tb-2025-0076","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411557469","name":"A Whole-Life Carbon Assessment of a Single-Family House in North India Using BIM-LCA Integration","source":"openalex","abstract":"As the population increases, the growing demand for residential housing escalates construction activities, significantly impacting global warming by contributing 42% of primary energy use and 39% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study addresses a gap in research on lifecycle assessment (LCA) for Indian residential buildings by evaluating the full cradle-to-grave carbon footprint of a typical single-family house in Northern India. A BIM-based LCA framework was applied to a 110 m2 single-family dwelling over a 60-year life span. Operational use performance and climate analysis was evaluated via cove tool. The total carbon footprint over a 60-year lifespan was approximately 5884 kg CO2e, with operational energy use accounting for about 87% and embodied carbon approximately 11%. Additional impacts came from maintenance and replacements. Energy usage was calculated as 71.76 kWh/m2/year and water usage as 232.2 m3/year. Energy consumption was the biggest driver of emissions, but substantial impacts also stemmed from material production. Cement-based components and steel were the largest embodied carbon contributors. Under the business-as-usual (BAU) scenario, the operational emissions reach approximately 668,000 kg CO2e with HVAC and 482,000 kg CO2e without HVAC. The findings highlight the necessity of integrating embodied carbon considerations alongside operational energy efficiency in India’s building codes, emphasizing reductions in energy consumption and the adoption of low-carbon materials to mitigate the environmental impact of residential buildings. Future work should focus on the dynamic modeling of electricity decarbonization, improved regional datasets, and scenario-based LCA to better support India’s transition to net-zero emissions by 2070.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings15132195","authors":["Deepak Kumar","Kranti Kumar Maurya","Shailendra K.

We also examined how ST projects can contribute to sustainable development goals (SDGs) overcoming the vulnerabilities. Primary data on people's perception were collected through focus group discussions and 200 household questionnaire surveys conducted within the most vulnerable areas.

The local community is optimistic about some infrastructure development, but issues related to compensation, resettlement and physical stressors were found to be very sensitive for the effective implementation of the project. Expectations of the local people and proposed plans by the government are concurrent in some issues but not in all. Our analysis shows that the BGHP has the potential to be multi‐dimensionally beneficial (to eight SDGs) for Nepal, provided that supportive policies are formulated and implemented stringently. Extending the project as multi‐purpose, pumped storage and other improvements such as floatovoltaics are some of the plausible recommendations for harnessing maximum benefits from this important project while minimizing threats.

The model strategically utilizes port-provided free storage periods to optimize inventory management across a distribution system comprising one port storage and an owned storage. While most industries rely on owned or rented warehouses to store goods before distributing them to retailers, this model proposes a more cost-efficient approach by leveraging the port’s free storage period as a temporary warehouse until the free duration expires. By investing in energy-efficient green equipment, this approach decreases carbon emissions during product transit between the port and warehouse, as well as to industries.

Contemporary agricultural methods, characterized by excessive pesticide and fertilizer application, monoculture, and intensive tillage, have resulted in extensive soil degradation, requiring novel strategies to restore and sustain soil functionality. This review examined sustainable practices to enhance soil health and improve crop quality in modern agricultural systems. Preserving soil’s physical, chemical, and biological characteristics is essential for its health, achievable through various agronomic strategies. Practices such as crop rotation, cover cropping, no-till or carbon farming, conservation agriculture (CA), and the use of organic amendments were explored for their ability to restore the soil structure, increase organic matter, and promote biodiversity. These initiatives seek to preserve and enhance soil ecosystems by aligning agricultural practices with ecological principles, ensuring long-term productivity and environmental stability. Enhancing soil health will improve soil functions, supporting the concept that increasing the soil organic carbon (SOC) is necessary. This study determined that conservation tillage is more advantageous for soil health than conventional tillage, a topic that is still controversial among scientists and farmers, and that various tillage systems exhibit distinct interactions. These strategies, through the integrated management of the interaction of plant, soil, microbial, and human activities, would enhance soil health.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/agriculture15090998","authors":["Denis Țopa","Sorin Căpșună","Anca-Elena Calistru","C.

One of the most promising natural targets for CO2 sequestration is the terrigenous sedimentary formations found in oil, gas, and coal basins. It is generally assumed that CO2 injected into such formations can be stored indefinitely in a stable form. However, the dissolution of CO2 into subsurface water leads to a reduction in pH, which may cause partial dissolution of the host formation, altering the structure of the subsurface in the injection zone. This process is relatively slow, potentially unfolding over decades or even centuries, and its long-term consequences require careful investigation through mathematical modeling. The geological formation is treated as a partially soluble porous medium, where the dissolution rate is governed by surface chemical reactions occurring at the pore boundaries. In this study, we present an applied mathematical model that captures the coupled processes of mass transport, surface chemical reactions, and the resulting microscopic changes in the pore structure of the formation. To ensure the model remains grounded in realistic geological conditions, we based it on exploration data characterizing the composition and microstructure of the pore space typical of the Cenomanian suite in northern Western Siberia. The model incorporates the dominant geochemical reactions involving calcium carbonate (calcite, CaCO3), characteristic of Cenomanian reservoir rocks. It describes the dissolution of CO2 in the pore fluid and the associated evolution of ion concentrations, specifically H+, Ca2+, and HCO3−. The input parameters are derived from experimental data. While the model focuses on calcite-based formations, the algorithm can be adapted to other mineralogies with appropriate modifications to the reaction terms. The simulation domain is defined as a cubic region with a side length of 1 μm, representing a fragment of the geological formation with a porosity of 0.33. The pore space is initially filled with a mixture of liquid CO2 and water at known saturation levels. The mathematical framework consists of a system of diffusion–reaction equations describing the dissolution of CO2 in water and the subsequent mineral dissolution, coupled with a model for surface evolution of the solid phase. This model enables calculation of surface reaction rates within the porous medium and estimates the timescales over which significant changes in pore structure may occur, depending on the relative saturations of water and liquid CO2.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/a18080503","authors":["Н.

There are two carbon-intensive processes in the cement manufacturing: First is Clinker production, the decomposition of limestone into lime. This process is called calcination and is termed process emission, this represents 60%, and the second is Fuel combustion process, the burning of fossil fuel to obtain high temperatures of approximately 1450 ℃ required in the kiln. This accounted for 40% of total CO2 emissions from cement production, it is termed combustion emission. Decarbonization of cement industry is a necessity because of the global net-zero emissions target of 2050. This review comprehensively examines current and emerging Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies in this sector. Post-combustion capture is retrofittable, while calcium looping and oxy-fuel combustion indicated high capture efficiency and compatibility with cement chemistry. The LEILAC is the breakthrough process, producing pure CO₂ without flue-gas contamination. Though, high energy penalties, process complexity, integration challenges linger, and cost of retrofitting. Utilization methods such as mineral carbonation, CO₂ curing in concrete, and enhanced oil recovery offer roadmaps to long-term or value-added CO₂ usage. For permanent sequestration, storage in geological depleted oil fields and saline aquifers is key. Highlighted in this review is the need for all-inclusive integration, economic policy, and digital innovations with AI-driven monitoring and the use of alternative fuels like biomass.

The findings show that the extent of the technical effort required for decarbonization is much influenced by economic expansion. Under a 3% annual Gross Domestic Product growth scenario, the EU’s carbon intensity of economy must decline by 11.8% per year, which is a particularly demanding rate given the already low baseline. The decomposition also quantifies the technological challenge: under high growth, up to 5867 MtCO2 in reductions would be needed by 2050 (compared with 1990), with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) contributing only 10–15%. In contrast, in zero- or negative-growth scenarios, required reductions fall to 4923–4594 MtCO2, with CCS accounting for up to 50–90%.

The results indicate that the CO 2 leakage alters soil physicochemical properties, soil microbial communities, and soil enzyme activities.

However, our understanding of seagrass litter decomposition effects on sediment Corg sequestration and the factors influencing the capacity for autochthonous carbon sequestration remains limited. We investigated Zostera marina litter decomposition dynamics in eelgrass meadows along the Korean coast by monitoring changes in the remaining litter mass and autochthonous Corg during the decomposition process. We used a double‐component exponential decay models to characterize the decomposition dynamics and estimate the autochthonous Corg remaining. We also identified potential factors affecting litter decay and Corg accumulation in sediments by examining site‐specific physicochemical properties. Our findings revealed that double‐component models effectively characterized litter decomposition dynamics and indicated greater preservation of litter‐derived slowly degrading Corg in sediments. The reduced decomposition of litter materials owing to low oxygen availability in the muddy sediments led to greater retention of litter mass and litter‐derived Corg in sediments. The anoxic conditions of below‐ground litterbags, compared with above‐ground litterbags, could be alleviated by the oxygen transport through fresh Z. marina roots, thereby potentially stimulating the microbial decomposition of Z. marina below‐ground litter materials at these sites.

Among available mitigation strategies, nature‐based carbon management (NBCM) methods provide the dual advantage of reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) and restoring ecosystems. This review examines four main NBCM approaches, forest and grassland restoration, wetland and blue‐carbon ecosystems, urban green spaces, and regenerative agriculture, to test the hypothesis that biochar‐based regenerative agriculture is the most sustainable and practical pathway for long‐term carbon sequestration. Confirming this hypothesis is essential because policy and investment decisions increasingly depend on identifying NBCM options that combine scientific effectiveness with economic feasibility. The study reviews papers, patents, and reports published between 2016 and 2024, integrating environmental, technological, and policy findings. The review reveals several key insights. Nature‐based methods collectively offer significant global potential for carbon reduction, yet their success depends on ecological and socioeconomic conditions. Biochar‐based regenerative systems stand out by showing persistent improvements in soil‐organic‐carbon storage, crop productivity, and greenhouse‐gas mitigation, supported by numerous international case studies. The analysis also identifies the main constraints, production cost, infrastructure requirements, and limited awareness, that determine the pace of large‐scale adoption. The contribution of this review lies in linking biochar's environmental durability with its socioeconomic applicability, providing a bridge between climate science, agriculture, and sustainable development policy. Future efforts should focus on field validation across climates, cost optimization for biomass‐to‐biochar chains, and supportive policy frameworks to encourage wider adoption. These findings present a clear pathway for scaling NBCM solutions, positioning biochar as a leading nature‐based strategy for long‐term climate mitigation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ese3.70350","authors":["Negin Mirzaei","Ahmad Hajinezhad","Hossein Yousefi","Seyed Farhan Moosavian","Reza Fattahi"],"tags":["Sustainability","Environmental resource management","Climate change","Sustainable development","Pace"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ese3.70350","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407761767","name":"Enhanced Oil Recovery using Carbonated Polymeric Nanofluids: A New Age Approach to CO2 Utilization and Corrosion Mitigation","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jiec.2025.02.040","authors":["Darshan Halari","Siddharth Atal","Anirudh Bardhan","Himanshu Kesarwani","Deepak Dwivedi","Amit Saxena","Shivanjali Sharma","Prashant Jadhawar"],"tags":["Nanofluid","Corrosion","Chemical engineering","Materials science","Enhanced oil recovery"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jiec.2025.02.040","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412932158","name":"Mobile Thermal Energy Storage—A Review and Analysis in the Context of Waste Heat Recovery","source":"openalex","abstract":"The global energy transition and increasingly rigorous legal regulations aimed at climate protection are driving the search for alternative energy sources, including renewable energy sources (RESs) and waste heat.

This paper reviews the current state of M-TES technologies, focusing on their technology readiness level, key operating parameters, and advantages and disadvantages. It is found that M-TES can be based on sensible heat, latent heat, or thermochemical reactions, with the majority of research and projects centered around latent heat storage. Regarding the type of research, significant progress has been made at the laboratory and simulation levels, while real-world implementation remains limited, with few pilot projects and commercially available systems. Despite the limited number of real-world M-TES implementations, currently existing M-TES systems can store up to 5.4 MWh in temperatures ranging from 58 °C to as high as 1300 °C.

A two‐step optimization strategy for the production of activated carbon is employed to ensure the optimum findings. The synthesization of pistachio shell‐derived activated carbon (PSAC) includes carbonization at 500–700°C temperature followed by a KOH activation with varying fraction ratios of biochar: KOH in the range of 1:2–1:6 at 850°C under the inert environment. The optimized carbonized product is found to be at 562.5°C based on the biochar throughput and percentage stable carbon content, considering the effect of moisture content, the molecular mass of carbon and hydrogen, and the H/C ratio in their expressions. Six different composites are also synthesized by varying the fractions of expanded graphite and polyvinyl alcohol. The maximum specific surface area for PSAC is found to be 703 m2/g with micro‐ and meso‐pores, and the greatest CO2 capture capacity through chemisorption alone reaches 0.858 mmol/g at 1 bar. However, adding ingredients to activated carbon to form composites reduces the specific surface area, leading to lower CO2 capture capacity due to partial occupation of adsorption sites. A comparative analysis demonstrates that the proposed biomass‐derived carbon exhibits superior potential for CO2 capture, outperforming many sorbents reported in the literature. Additionally, a brief economic analysis is performed on the newly synthesized activated carbon and composite, highlighting their potential for cost‐effective CO2 capture applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ep.14638","authors":["P.R.

In addition, these batteries offer the benefits of higher capacity and the absence of rare metals. However, the low electronic conductivity of sulfur poses a major challenge for ASS Li-S batteries. To address this challenge, sulfur is often combined with porous carbon. Despite this standard practice, the local structure of sulfur in these composites remains unclear. Based on small-angle X-ray scattering and pair distribution function analysis, we discovered that sulfur in carbon–sulfur composites formed via melt diffusion is amorphous and primarily comprises S8 ring-shaped structures. The carbon–sulfur composite demonstrated a high specific capacity of 1625 mAh g−1 (97% of the theoretical specific capacity of sulfur). This remarkable performance is attributed to the extensive contact area between carbon and sulfur, which results in an excellent interface formed through melt diffusion. The insights gained into the local structure of sulfur and the analytical approaches employed enhanced our understanding of electrochemical reactions in ASS Li-S batteries, thereby aiding in the optimization of material design.

Vertical alignments are induced of GO in a microfluidic channel by controlling flow rates and patterns of GO suspensions. The vertical alignments are preserved and spontaneously form porous microstructures by Pulse Freezing the GO solutions inside the channel. This combined process results in the increase of levels of microstructure porosity and vertical alignment of GO films. The alignment and porous microstructures increase both electron and ion transfer capabilities across the prepared film. The half‐cell performance of aligned GO films shows a specific capacity of 440 mAh g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1 after 150 cycles.

The significant increase in the value and stability of specific capacity and higher rates of charge transfer favor the promising application of carbon‐based lithium‐ion batteries for electric transportation industries.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/admi.202201612","authors":["Yifan Liu","Kane Ho","Dae Kun Hwang","Hadis Zarrin"],"tags":["Materials science","Graphene","Lithium (medication)","Microstructure","Oxide"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-12-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/admi.202201612","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406281017","name":"Carbon Footprint Analysis of Cement Production in India","source":"openalex","abstract":"As the global imperative to mitigate climate change grows, the cement industry becomes a focal point due to its significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.This study seeks to evaluate the carbon emission factors associated with direct manufacturing, manufacturing processes, neat emissions, and the entire life cycle of cement production, with a special focus on raw material extraction and cement manufacturing within cement plants.This study uses a variety of units, including raw material extraction rates, fuel consumption metrics, electricity usage data, transportation distances, and concrete life cycle assessments, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the carbon footprint inherent in each stage of cement production.It is concluded that the carbon dioxide emission factor with clinker is 0.3838t/ton of limestone and 0.4373t/per ton of cement based on manufacturing neat emission and the life cycle of cement in the cement industries.By taking a comprehensive approach that considers both direct and indirect emissions, stakeholders can make decisions incorporating advanced technology, process modification, and sustainable materials and practices to reduce the carbon intensity of cement manufacturing while advancing sustainability goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5109/7326930","authors":["Sunita Kumari","Saurabh Jaglan","Arti Chouksey","Rinku Walia","Aman Ahlawat","A.

However, fine‐scale temporal eDNA dynamics are poorly understood and the time of eDNA sample collection is rarely reported in publications. Here, we collected surface eDNA samples every 6 h, for 3 days, at two coral reef sites to assess fine‐scale changes in the eukaryotic communities detected. Distinct eukaryotic communities were detected at two sites within the same lagoon. Sampling time was found to have a significant effect on ESV and class richness, both peaking during the 1 p.m. sampling time at both sites.

Other groups of organisms showed considerable variation in read frequency, highlighting the dynamic nature of marine eukaryotic communities and potential stochasticity of eDNA detections. For eukaryotic communities, eDNA samples can provide a “snapshot” of contemporary biodiversity and provide information on short‐term community dynamics on hyperdiverse coral reefs.

Olefins are indispensable feedstock for manufacture of polyolefin plastics and other base chemicals. Current methods of olefin production are associated with significant CO2 emissions and almost entirely rely of fossil feedstock. In order to assess potential alternatives, technical and economic maturity of six principal olefin production routes are compared in this paper. Coal (brown), oil and gas (grey), biomass (green), recycled plastic (pink) as well as carbon capture and storage (purple) and carbon capture and utilization (blue) technologies are considered. We conclude that broader adoption of biomass based “green” feedstock and introduction of recycled plastic based olefins may lead to reduced carbon footprint, however adoption of best available technologies and introduction of electrocracking to existing fossil-based “grey” olefin manufacture process can be the way to achieve highest impact most rapidly. Adoption of Power-to-X approaches to olefins starting from biogenic or atmospheric CO2 and renewable H2 can lead to ultimately carbon–neutral “blue” olefins in the long term, however substantial development and additional regulatory incentives are necessary to make the solution economically viable. Article highlights In this account, we introduce a color coding scheme to differentiate and compare carbon intensity and feedstock types for some of the main commercial and emerging olefin production routes. Most viable short term improvements in CO2 emissions of olefin production will be achieved by discouraging “brown” coal based production and improving efficiency of “grey” oil and gas based processes. Gradual incorporation of green and recycled feedstock to existing olefin production assets will allow to achieve substantial improvements in carbon efficiency in longer term.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s42452-022-04991-4","authors":["A.

Selective targeting of metabolic checkpoints may inhibit platelet activation and provide a novel antiplatelet strategy. We, therefore, examined global metabolic changes that occur during the transition of human platelets from resting to an activated state to identify metabolites and associated pathways that contribute to platelet activation. METHODS: We performed metabolic profiling of resting and convulxin-stimulated human platelet samples. The differential levels, pathway analysis, and PCA (principal component analysis) were performed using Metaboanalyst. Metascape was used for metabolite network construction. RESULTS: Of the 401 metabolites identified, 202 metabolites were significantly upregulated, and 2 metabolites were downregulated in activated platelets. Of all the metabolites, lipids scored highly and constituted ≈50% of the identification. During activation, aerobic glycolysis supports energy demand and provides glycolytic intermediates required by metabolic pathways. Consistent with this, an important category of metabolites was carbohydrates, particularly the glycolysis intermediates that were significantly upregulated compared with resting platelets. We found that lysophospholipids such as 1-palmitoyl-GPA (glycero-3-phosphatidic acid), 1-stearoyl-GPS (glycero-3-phosphoserine), 1-palmitoyl-GPI (glycerophosphoinositol), 1-stearoyl-GPI, and 1-oleoyl-GPI were upregulated in activated platelets. We speculated that platelet activation could be linked to 1-carbon metabolism, a set of biochemical pathways that involve the transfer and use of 1-carbon units from amino acids, for cellular processes, including nucleotide and lysophospholipid synthesis. In alignment, based on pathway enrichment and network-based prioritization, the metabolites from amino acid metabolism, including serine, glutamate, and branched-chain amino acid pathway were upregulated in activated platelets, which might be supplemented by the high levels of glycolytic intermediates. CONCLUSIONS: Metabolic analysis of resting and activated platelets revealed that glycolysis and 1-carbon metabolism are necessary to support platelet activation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1161/atvbaha.123.319821","authors":["Madankumar Ghatge","Gagan D.

According to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which focuses on 17 Sustainable Development Goals, 14 of which call for the appropriate application of green chemistry (GC) concepts and patterns, the role that chemistry may play in the shift toward more sustainable models is critical. By serving as the foundation for novel products made from renewable feedstocks and designed to be reused, recycled, or recovered with the associated minimum energy requirements, green and sustainable chemistry could be the key to unlocking the economic potential of the CE toward new product design and ultimately solving waste management problems. The aim of this perspective paper, while using a variety of literature sources, is to essentially capture the main issues associated with the CE and GC paradigms and how these two approaches can merge toward sustainable business models and the production of new materials. This integration focuses on reducing waste, conserving resources, and minimizing negative environmental impacts, while also considering economic viability. However, the obstacles to achieving implementation of the CE and GC principles are investment, environmental education, and legislation. To advance toward the circular economy and green chemistry, international agreements should be reconsidered to provide an appropriate framework, including the creation of incentives for businesses and individuals to adopt circular practices, the establishment of education programs to promote the benefits of circular practices, and the development of regulations to support the transition to sustainable production and consumption patterns.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en16041752","authors":["Amos Ncube","Sandile Mtetwa","Mahak Bukhari","Gabriella Fiorentino","Renato Passaro"],"tags":["Circular economy","Material efficiency","Resource efficiency","Sustainable development","Environmental economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-02-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en16041752","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411584017","name":"Shallow Coastal Bays as Sediment Carbon and Nutrient Reservoirs in the Baltic Sea","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Coastal vegetated ecosystems are being increasingly recognized for their capacity to capture carbon, provide long-term biogenic storage, and alleviate nutrient pollution. To assess the ability of shallow, vegetated coastal bays to function as blue carbon and nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) sinks, we collected sediment cores in nine shallow enclosed bays (representative of the EU Habitats 1153 and 1154) in the archipelago areas of Sweden (Stockholm), Åland Island, and southwestern Finland. Our study showed strong uniformity of carbon and nutrient storage, substantial accumulation of carbon and nutrients, and minimal regional differences in carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus sediment stocks. These findings are noteworthy given the large area (142 km 2 ) the shallow enclosed bays cover and the multiple important ecosystem services they provide in the northern Baltic Sea seascape. An initial first-order estimate for the shallow bay ecosystems across the study region indicates that these ecosystems potentially store 84,000 to 430,000 t organic carbon over the top 25 cm sediment. The positive correlation between carbon and nitrogen stocks, and the potentially organically bound nature of phosphorus in sediment, suggests that climate regulation services can be managed in unison with nutrient management efforts. The findings, also considering the consistent pattern of slow sedimentation and accumulation, underscore the importance of protecting shallow coastal bays as carbon and nutrient sinks in the Baltic Sea region.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12237-025-01541-0","authors":["Betty Gubri","Joakim P.

Under downhole conditions, cement degradationprimarily driven by carbonation and bicarbonationcan lead to microcracking, increased permeability, and loss of well integrity. This review presents a comprehensive synthesis of degradation mechanisms, evaluating the interplay between CO2 exposure, pressure, temperature, and curing conditions on cement properties. We critically examine both traditional and advanced cement systems, including Portland-based formulations, pozzolanic blends, calcium aluminate, geopolymers, and polymer-enhanced cements. Particular focus is given to experimental findings on mechanical property evolution (e.g., compressive, tensile, and bond strength) and transport behavior under simulated downhole conditions. Modern characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), computed tomography (CT), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) are reviewed, alongside emerging machine learning approaches for predicting degradation and optimizing cement design. Despite decades of research, significant gaps remain in testing standards, long-term performance prediction, and integration of mechanical and chemical deterioration models. This paper identifies those gaps and proposes strategies to enhance cement durability, including the use of nanomaterials, particle-engineered systems, and tailored additives. Ultimately, this review serves as both a critical reference and a practical guide for developing robust, CO2-resistant cement systems capable of maintaining zonal isolation in high-stress, corrosive subsurface environments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.4c11295","authors":["Orkhan Mammadov","Ahmed Abdulhamid Mahmoud","Ahmed Al‐Yaseri","Mustafa Al Ramadan"],"tags":["Cement","Petroleum engineering","Degradation (telecommunications)","Environmental science","Engineering"],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.4c11295","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"oa:W4413239154","name":"Advancing Sustainable Development Through Integrated Photovoltaic and Battery Energy Storage Systems in Commercial Buildings: A Strategic, Economic, and Environmental Perspective","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT Sustainability challenges require advanced and integrated approaches. The key role of SDG 7 can be supported by photovoltaic (PV) systems, which reduce grid dependence during sunlight hours, and by battery energy storage (BES) systems, which enable energy to be stored and utilized when solar generation is not available. The aim of this work is to provide multiple layers of analysis to support the development of integrated PV + BES systems in commercial buildings located in Italy. To this end, the study proposes methodologies based on multicriteria decision analysis, the discounted cash flow method, and includes a quantification of emission reduction levels. The results of the strategic analysis show that the interviewed experts recommend the implementation of a 50% tax deduction to support investment. The profitability of PV systems ranges from 548 to 1831 €/kW, depending on the market scenario. For specific levels of self‐consumption, no significant economic risks are identified. The integration of a BES system proves to be economically viable depending on the market context: with positive outcomes in 13%–20% of cases under the High Market scenario, and 26%–40% under the Low Market scenario. This confirms that the economic feasibility of BES integration mainly depends on the avoided electricity costs and the increase in self‐consumption. Although the adoption of storage systems slightly reduces the environmental benefit, an integrated PV + BES system can still achieve a reduction of 77 tCO 2 eq in the first year. These findings, obtained through a multidisciplinary approach, confirm that renewable energy applied to public buildings contributes directly to sustainable development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.70148","authors":["Giulio Antonini","Idiano D’Adamo","Simone Di Leo","Massimo Gastaldi","Matteo Scarcelli"],"tags":["Photovoltaic system","Environmental economics","Renewable energy","Context (archaeology)","Sustainability"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.70148","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W4368364185","name":"Global green hydrogen-based steel opportunities surrounding high quality renewable energy and iron ore deposits","source":"openalex","abstract":"emissions and requires deep reform to disconnect from fossil fuels.

For example, Na, Ca, and Mg in brine can be employed for carbon capture and utilization with ammonia, amines, and alkaline substances. With slight adjustment, brine can also be directly used as irrigation water, aquaculture water, and the activation of biochar. Furthermore, brine holds a higher concentration of critical elements, which makes many countries and scholars start to conduct element extraction, reducing the amount of ore exploitation. At last, the major obstacles related to these advancements in sustainability, expenses, and technological aspects are outlined, and promising research trends of brine reutilization are also suggested.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adsu.202300460","authors":["Cheng‐Han Lee","Hsing‐Jung Ho","Wei‐Sheng Chen","Atsushi Iizuka"],"tags":["Brine","Desalination","Environmental science","Groundwater","Salinity"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adsu.202300460","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W4313226874","name":"Combining industrial ecology tools to assess potential greenhouse gas reductions of a circular economy: Method development and application to Switzerland","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Industrial ecology (IE) methodologies, such as input/output or material flow analysis and life cycle assessment (LCA), are often used for the environmental evaluation of circular economy strategies.

The approach developed in this study (IE4CE approach) combines IE methodologies to determine the environmental impact mitigation potential of circular economy strategies for a defined geographic region. The approach foresees five steps. First, input/output analysis helps identify sectors with high environmental impacts. Second, a refined analysis is conducted using material flow and LCA. In step 3, circular strategies are used for scenario design and evaluated in step 4. In step 5, the assessment results are compiled and compared across sectors. The approach was applied to a case study of Switzerland, analyzing 8 sectors and more than 30 scenarios in depth. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) from waste incineration, biogas and cement production, food waste prevention in households, hospitality and production, and the increased recycling of plastics had the highest mitigation potential. Most of the scenarios do not influence each other. One exception is the CCS scenarios: waste avoidance scenarios decrease the reduction potential of CCS. A combination of scenarios from different sectors, including their impact on the CCS scenario potential, led to an environmental impact mitigation potential of 11.9 Mt CO 2 ‐eq for 2050, which equals 14% of Switzerland's current consumption‐based impacts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jiec.13364","authors":["Maja Wiprächtiger","Mélanie Haupt","Andreas Froemelt","Magdalena Klotz","Claudio Beretta","Dominik Osterwalder","Vanessa Burg","Stefanie Hellweg"],"tags":["Circular economy","Industrial ecology","Material flow analysis","Life-cycle assessment","Greenhouse gas"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-12-27","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jiec.13364","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410321832","name":"Spatiotemporal Responses of Global Vegetation Growth to Terrestrial Water Storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Global vegetation growth is dynamically influenced and regulated by hydrological processes.

Polymers and surfactants used in CEOR procedures have the potential to harm formation and contaminate the environment. The environmentally beneficial \"green enhanced oil recovery\" (GEOR) technique includes infusing green fluids to raise tertiary oil output and boost macroscopic and microscopic sweep efficiency, ensuring sustainable practices while minimizing environmental concerns.

Conventionally, methanol is produced by using fossil fuel as raw material, which releases a significant amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the environment. Clean methanol, which is produced by hydrogen (H2) from renewable sources (green H2) and captured carbon dioxide (CO2), is totally free from the influence of fossil fuel. Due to its vast applications, clean methanol has potential to substitute for fossil fuels while preventing further GHGs emissions. This review addresses the feasibility of producing clean methanol from renewable resources, i.e., green H2 and captured CO2. Availability of these raw materials is the main factor involved in establishing the circular economy of methanol, therefore, their potential sources and the possible pathways to access these sources are also summarized. Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass should be utilized for producing green H2, while CO2 captured from air, and more likely from point emission sources, can be recycled to produce clean methanol. After producing methanol from CO2 and H2, the removal of by-product water by distillation is a big challenge due its high energy consumption. An alternative approach for this methanol-water separation is membrane technology, which is an energy saving option. Water-selective zeolite membranes can separate water post-synthesis, as well as during the synthesis.

However, their inherently low thermal conductivity and the risk of leakage during melting-solidification cycles significantly limit their practical performance. To address these limitations, numerous studies have investigated composite PCMs in which paraffin is incorporated into porous supporting matrices. Among these, diatomite has garnered particular attention due to its high porosity, large specific surface area, and chemical compatibility with organic materials. Serving as both a carrier and stabilizing shell, diatomite effectively suppresses leakage and enhances thermal conductivity, thereby improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the PCM. This review synthesizes recent research on paraffin-diatomite composites, with a focus on impregnation methods, surface modification techniques, and the influence of synthesis parameters on thermal performance and cyclic stability. The mechanisms of heat and mass transport within the composite structure are examined, alongside comparative analyses of paraffin-diatomite systems and other inorganic or polymeric supports. Particular emphasis is placed on applications in energy-efficient buildings, passive heating and cooling, and hybrid thermal storage systems. The review concludes that paraffin-diatomite composites present a promising avenue for stable, efficient, and sustainable phase change materials (PCMs). However, challenges such as the optimization of pore structure, long-term durability, and large-scale manufacturing must be addressed to facilitate their broader implementation in next-generation energy storage technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ma18225166","authors":["Agnieszka Przybek","Maria Hebdowska-Krupa","Michał Łach"],"tags":["Materials science","Thermal energy storage","Phase change","Thermal conductivity","Composite number"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ma18225166","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409514931","name":"Achieving Carbon Neutrality Through Renewable Energy Transition Amidst Economic Policy Uncertainty in the Arctic Region","source":"openalex","abstract":"In the rapidly unpredictable economic and environmental era, the Arctic region stands at a pivotal crossroads.

Most carbon fixation in these systems is thought to be driven by plant and microbial photosynthesis, whereas chemosynthetic processes are assumed to play a minor role. However, these ecosystems often contain anoxic environments ideal for chemosynthetic microbes such as acetogens. In this study, we show that acetogens are abundant and active mediators of carbon sequestration in tidal wetland soils. We combined metagenomic analysis of CO2 fixation genes and reconstruction of microbial genomes with enrichment and analysis of gas-fermenting acetogens in bioreactors. Genome-resolved metagenomics revealed that diverse microbes can mediate carbon fixation, primarily through the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle and Wood–Ljungdahl pathway (WLP). These include various bacteria and archaea capable of reductive acetogenesis. Based on these findings, we established bacterial enrichment cultures from tidal wetland soils using hydrogen (H2) and CO2 as the sole energy and carbon sources. Bioreactor analysis revealed that these enrichments are dominated by clostridial acetogens that grow rapidly by converting CO2 into acetate and other products. Collectively, these results reveal Blue Carbon ecosystems harbor microbial communities that can exclusively subsist by using CO2 as their sole electron acceptor and carbon source. This provides evidence for a novel carbon sink pathway within these ecosystems beyond the well-known mechanisms of photosynthetic carbon fixation and soil sequestration. Additionally, the discovery and enrichment of these chemosynthetic communities provide opportunities for developing further mechanisms of CO2 removal through industrial gas fermentation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-025-02209-4","authors":["Karen Rodriguez","Francesco Ricci","Gaofeng Ni","Naima Iram","Robin Palfreyman","R.

Despite tremendous breakthroughs and achievements over the past century, there still exists overarching questions that animate nuclear physics today and incite constructing next-generation heavy-ion accelerator complexes worldwide. In order to promote the national development of heavy-ion science and technology, China government approved the high-intensity heavy-ion accelerator facility (HIAF) in 2015, proposed by the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. HIAF is composed of a superconducting ion linear accelerator, a high-energy synchrotron booster, a high-energy radioactive isotope beam line, an experimental storage ring, and a few experimental setups. By using HIAF characterized with unprecedented intense ion beams from hydrogen through uranium, we can produce a large variety of exotic nuclear matters not normally found on the Earth, including super-heavy nuclides, short-lived extremely neutron-rich and proton-rich nuclides, finite nuclear matters in the quantum chromodynamics phase diagram, exotic nuclides containing hyperons, meson-nucleus-bound systems, and highly charged ions. Therefore, HIAF will bring researchers to the forefront of promoting the most vigorous and fascinating fields in nuclear physics, such as to explore the limits to the existence of nuclides in terms of proton and neutron numbers, to discover exotic nuclear structure and properties and then to study the physics behind, to understand the origin of heavy elements in the cosmos, to depict the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter, etc. In addition, HIAF will provide an excellent platform to develop heavy-ion applications in life science, space science, and material science. The construction of HIAF started up in December of 2018 and takes 7 years. The civil engineering and infrastructure are being constructed on time schedule and will be completed in July, 2023. R&D on key accelerator techniques are going on successfully, and prototypes of core devices are fabricated in collaboration with home and abroad universities, institutes, and companies. Presently, we come to the stage of invitation for bids and volume production of various apparatuses. We plan to start facility installation in summer of 2023. As a scientific user facility opening to domestic and oversea researchers, HIAF user community plays key roles in defining research programs and raising requirements. We call upon expertise, aspirations, and resources of a host of collaborators. Collaborations, dedicated to specific research subjects, are established and will be established. These collaborations develop new experimental techniques and methods and take responsibility for design and building of measurement systems. We have completed the design of experimental setups. A new gas-filled recoil separator and a novel storage-ring-based isochronous mass spectrometer are already built, and other measurement systems are under construction. The facility commissioning is scheduled at the end in the year of 2025.

At this scale, solar fuels and energy storage in chemical bonds is the only practical approach. Solar fuels are produced in massive amounts by photosynthesis with the reduction of CO2 by water to give carbohydrates but efficiencies are low. In photosystem II (PSII), the oxygen-producing site for photosynthesis, light absorption and sensitization trigger a cascade of coupled electron-proton transfer events with time scales ranging from picoseconds to microseconds. Oxidative equivalents are built up at the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) for water oxidation by the Kok cycle. A systematic approach to artificial photo-synthesis is available based on a “modular approach” in which the separate functions of a final device are studied separately, maximized for rates and stability, and used as modules in constructing integrated devices based on molecular assemblies, nanoscale arrays, self-assembled monolayers, etc. Considerable simplification is available by adopting a “dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cell” (DSPEC) approach inspired by dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Water oxidation catalysis is a key feature, and significant progress has been made in developing a single-site solution and surface catalysts based on polypyridyl complexes of Ru. In this series, ligand variations can be used to tune redox potentials and reactivity over a wide range. Water oxidation electrocatalysis has been extended to chromophore-catalyst assemblies for both water oxidation and DSPEC applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1351/pac-con-10-11-09","authors":["Wenjing Song","Zuofeng Chen","M.

For instance, conventional techniques such as chemical vapor deposition and the sol–gel process are known for their high-energy consumption and the production of toxic by-products. This context emphasizes the importance of sustainability in nanomaterial synthesis, leading to a shift toward more eco-friendly methods that integrate principles of green chemistry to lessen the influence on the environment. This transition addresses the harmful effects associated with traditional approaches and promotes the use of renewable resources, such as biomass and agricultural waste, in nanomaterial production. Main body This review focuses on sustainable nanomaterial synthesis methods that utilize renewable resources, such as biomass, agricultural waste, and natural extracts. These approaches reduce energy consumption, limit waste generation, and enhance recyclability, supporting the principles of the nanocircular economy. Various green synthesis strategies, including hydrothermal methods and green solvents, are examined for their effectiveness in producing nanomaterials with desirable properties. The review also highlights the broad applications of these sustainable nanomaterials in catalysis, sensing, biomedical fields, and energy storage. Despite the considerable advancements, the field faces ongoing challenges related to scalability, comprehensive environmental impact assessments, and the need for performance optimization. Conclusion The sustainable synthesis of nanomaterials presents significant opportunities for advancing green technologies and reducing the environmental footprint of nanomaterial production. While challenges remain, continued research and innovation promise further progress toward scalable and efficient methods, driving the development of an environmentally conscious approach to nanomaterial synthesis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s42269-025-01316-4","authors":["Mariam M.

These blooms, driven by nutrient runoff and oceanic alterations, disrupt ecosystems, threaten biodiversity, and impose economic and public health burdens on coastal communities. However, invasive seaweeds also present an opportunity as a sustainable resource. This study explores the valorization of Sargassum spp. for agricultural applications, focusing on the development of biodegradable bioplastics and biostimulants. Field trials demonstrated the effectiveness of Marine Symbiotic® Sargassum-derived biostimulant in distinct agricultural contexts. In the Dominican Republic, trials on pepper crops showed significant improvements, including a 33.26% increase in fruit weight, a 21.94% rise in fruit set percentage, a 45% higher yield under high-stress conditions, and a 48.42% reduction in fruit rejection compared to control. In Colombia, trials across four leafy green varieties revealed biomass increases of up to 360%, a 50% reduction in synthetic input dependency, and enhanced crop coloration, improving marketability. Additionally, Sargassum-based biofilms exhibited favorable mechanical properties and biodegradability, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional agricultural plastics. Carbon credit quantification revealed that valorizing Sargassum could prevent up to 89,670 tons of CO2-equivalent emissions annually using just one Littoral Collection Module® harvesting system, while biostimulant application enhanced carbon sequestration in crops. These findings underscore the potential of invasive seaweed valorization to address multiple climate challenges, from reducing plastic pollution and GHG emissions to enhancing agricultural resilience, thereby contributing to a sustainable Blue Economy and aligning with global sustainability goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17083498","authors":["Elena Martínez-Martínez","Alexander H.

Currently, numerous research initiatives are underway to develop CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies aiming for net-zero emissions, especially in sectors that are difficult to decarbonize, such as fossil fuel power generation. Integrating solar thermal energy into CO2 capture facilities (CCFs) for fossil fuel-based power plants offers a promising approach to reduce the high operational costs associated with CO2 capture processes. However, a comprehensive systematic review focusing on the integration of solar thermal energy with CCFs in fossil fuel power generation is currently lacking. To address this gap, this study systematically evaluates the technological frameworks involved, including (a) various generation technologies such as coal-fired Rankine cycle plants, natural gas combined cycle plants, and cogeneration units; (b) concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies, including parabolic trough collectors, linear Fresnel reflectors, solar power towers, and Stirling dish systems; and (c) post-combustion CO2 capture systems. Additionally, this research analyzes relevant projects, patents, and scholarly publications from the past 25 years that explore the coupling of CSP technologies with fossil fuel power plants and post-combustion CO2 capture systems. This literature review encompasses diverse methodologies, such as innovative patents, conceptual models, evaluations of solar collector performances, thermal integration optimization, and various system configurations. It also investigates technical advancements aimed at improving efficiency, reliability, and flexibility of fossil fuel power plants while mitigating the inherent challenges of CO2 capture. Beyond the energy-focused aspects, we explore complementary circular economy strategies—such as by-product valorization and material substitution in sectors like mining, cement, and steel manufacturing—that can reduce embodied emissions and enhance the overall system benefits of solar-assisted CO2 capture.

Carbon neutrality requires shifting from a linear carbon economy (LCE) to a circular carbon economy (CCE). Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, including reduction, recycle, reuse, removal, and storage technologies, represent an important strategy for achieving such a shift. Herein, we investigate the effects of CCS technology adoption in six OMSs—namely the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Algeria, and Iraq—by examining their Circular Carbon Economy Index (CCEI) scores, which reflect compliance with CCE-transition policies. Total CCEI, current performance CCEI dimension, and future enabler CCEI dimensions scores were compared among the aforementioned six OMSs and relative to Norway, which was used as a global-high CCEI reference standard. Specifically, CCEI general scope and CCEI oil scope dimension scores were compared. The KSA, Qatar, the UAE, and Kuwait had higher CCEI scores than Algeria and Iraq, reflecting their greater adoption of CCE-transition policies and greater emission-reducing modernization investments. The current performance CCEI scores of Algeria and Iraq appear to be buttressed to some extent by their greater natural carbon sink resources. Based on the findings, we recommend specific actions for OMSs to enhance their CCE transitions and mitigate the negative impacts associated with the associated investments, including: taking rapid practical steps to eliminate carbon oil industry emissions; detailed CCS planning by national oil companies; international cooperation and coordination; and increased investment in domestic CCS utilization infrastructure.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4236/ojee.2024.132002","authors":["Salem Baidas"],"tags":["Carbon fibers","Circular economy","Zero waste","Greenhouse gas","Zero emission"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.4236/ojee.2024.132002","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"oa:W4399689193","name":"Nitrogen-doped hollow carbon sphere composite Mn3O4 as an advanced host for lithium-sulfur battery","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract As the most promising advanced energy storage system, lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are highly favored by the researchers because of their advantages of high energy density (2500 W h kg−1), low cost and non-pollution. However, the low conductivity, volume expansion of sulfur, and shuttle effect are still the great hindrance to the practical application of LSBs. Herein, the above problems can be addressed through the following strategies: (1) Hollow carbon microspheres with high specific surface area were constructed as sulfur hosts to increase sulfur loading while also being able to enhance the physical adsorption of polysulfides; (2) the loading of Mn3O4 particles on the basis of hollow carbon microspheres facilitates the capture and adsorption of polysulfides; (3) the hollow carbon sphere structure as a conductive network can provide more pathways for rapid electrical/ionic transport and also accelerate electrolyte wetting. Moreover, the thinner shell of hollow carbon microsphere is conducive to ion diffusion and speed up the reaction rate. Thus, the NHCS/Mn3O4/S composites exhibit a high discharge specific capacity of 1010.3 mAh g−1 at first and still maintained a reversible capacity of 269.2 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles.

Here we characterize the physico‐chemical properties of the water masses entering Nares Strait in August 2014. We employ an extended optimum multi‐parameter (OMP) analysis to estimate the mixing fractions of predefined source water masses, and to distinguish the role of physical and biological processes in governing the distribution of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in Nares Strait. We show the first documented evidence of Siberian shelf waters arriving in Nares Strait, along with a diluted upper halocline layer of partial Pacific‐origin. These mixed‐origin water masses appear to play an important role in driving a modest phytoplankton bloom in Kane Basin, leading to decreased surface p CO 2 concentrations in Nares Strait. Although inorganic nitrogen was already limited near the surface in northern Nares Strait, the rather shallow upper halocline layer and the shoaling bathymetry in Kane Basin facilitated upwelling of nutrients to the surface. Our observations suggest that the positioning of the Transpolar Drift, and hence the balance of Atlantic and Pacific water delivered to Nares Strait, may play an important role in regional biological productivity and carbon uptake from the atmosphere. We also observed water masses from the WGC transported as far north as Kane Basin, contributing to relatively high p CO 2 and low pH in the intermediate and deep water column of southern Nares Strait and northern Baffin Bay.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2022jc019393","authors":["Tonya Burgers","Lisa A.

This paper also evaluates the architecture, merits and demerits of converter topologies (AC-DC and DC-DC) for Fast Charging Stations (FCHARs). On the basis of this analysis, it has found that the Multidevice Interleaved DC-DC Bidirectional Converter (MDIBC) is the most suitable topology for high-power BEVs and PHEVs (> 10kW), thanks to its low input current ripples, low output voltage ripples, low electromagnetic interference, bidirectionality, high efficiency and high reliability. In contrast, for low-power electric vehicles (<10 kW), it is tough to recommend a single candidate that is the best in all possible aspects. However, the Sinusoidal Amplitude Converter, the Z-Source DC-DC converter and the boost DC-DC converter with resonant circuit are more suitable for low-power BEVs and PHEVs because of their soft switching, noise-free operation, low switching loss and high efficiency.

This study used a marine microalgal strain, Nannochloropsis oceanica IMET1, which thrives in high CO 2 concentrations. A high-pH, high-alkalinity culture was designed for CO 2 capture through algal biomass production as well as permanent sequestration through calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) precipitation. This was accomplished by timed pH elevation and the addition of sodium bicarbonate to cultures of N. oceanica grown at lab scale (1 L) and pilot scale (500 L) with 10% and 5% CO 2 , respectively. Our data showed that 0.02 M NaHCO 3 promoted algal growth and that sparging cultures with ambient air after 12 days raised pH and created favorable CaCO 3 formation conditions. At the 1 L scale, we reached 1.52 g L −1 biomass after 12 days and an extra 9.3% CO 2 was captured in the form of CaCO 3 precipitates. At the 500 L pilot scale, an extra 60% CO 2 was captured (Day 40) with a maximum CO 2 capture rate of 63.2 g m −2 day −1 (Day 35). Bacterial communities associated with the microalgae were dominated by two novel Patescibacteria. Functional analysis revealed that genes for several plant growth-promotion traits (PGPTs) were enriched within this group. The microalgal-bacterial coculture system offers advantages for enhanced carbon mitigation through biomass production and simultaneous precipitation of recalcitrant CaCO 3 for long-term CO 2 storage. IMPORTANCE Capturing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) released from fossil fuel combustion is of the utmost importance as the impacts of climate change continue to worsen. Microalgae can remove CO 2 through their natural photosynthetic pathways and are additionally able to convert CO 2 into a stable, recalcitrant form as calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ). We demonstrate that microalgae-based carbon capture systems can be greatly improved with high pH and high alkalinity by providing optimal conditions for carbonate precipitation. Our results with the microalga, Nannochloropsis oceanica strain IMET1, show an extra 9.3% CO 2 captured as CaCO 3 at the 1 L scale and an extra 60% CO 2 captured at the 500 L (pilot) scale. Our optimized system provides a novel approach to capture CO 2 through two mechanisms: (i) as organic carbon within microalgal biomass and (ii) as inorganic carbon stored permanently in the form of CaCO 3.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1128/aem.00133-25","authors":["Lauren Jonas","Yi-Ying Lee","Robert Mroz","Russell T.

The primary impurities associated with corrosion and corrosive phases have been H2O, H2S, and in some cases also O2. When CO2 is captured from power plants and other anthropogenic sources (steel and cement production, waste incineration, etc.), new combinations of impurities like H2S, H2O, NOx, SOx, O2 and NH3, can be present. These impurities can react chemically at very low concentrations (less than 20 ppm-mol) leading to the formation of elemental sulfur, ammonium-based compounds, and acids (H2SO4 and HNO3. According to ISO standard 2913, one of the requirements for establishing a CO2 specification is that no corrosive phase should form. However, current standards and recommended practices lack specific specifications due to insufficient experimental data. The consequence is that the CO2 specifications used in ongoing projects and project development have very low limits of O2, H2S, NOx and SOx. The paper discusses the criteria and challenges related to the development of CO2 specifications, i.e. when are corrosive phases formed and when can the concentration of one impurity be increased if the concentration of another impurity is reduced.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.2025644056","authors":["A.

In present study, we propose a novel CO2 separation using the supersonic separator. The separation characteristics of carbon dioxide in supersonic flows are investigated using the real gas equation of state and Reynolds stress model. The results show that the gas mixture is accelerated to supersonic speed and results in a low pressure and temperature, which is good for the nucleation and condensation of the carbon dioxide. The helical vanes generate the swirling flow, which is further strengthened in the Laval nozzle. The centrifugal acceleration can reach approximately 8.08×10λ6 m/sA2 that will separate the CO2 droplets from the gas-liquid mixtures.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.201700760","authors":["C.

These ancillary services for providing frequency regulation (FR) can contribute to the system inertia, FR reserve capacity, and the response rate of FR reserves. However, it could be challenging to motivate low-carbon resources, like carbon-capture-utilization-and-storage (CCUS) systems and grid-forming inverter-based renewable energy systems (RESs), to participate in FR ancillary service markets. A critical focus of this paper lies in assessing the marginal value of diverse FR ancillary services for improving the performance of frequency-secured systems in under-frequency and over-frequency cases. Given the tight relations among energy and FR ancillary services, the frequency-secured performance criteria are introduced, including maximum rate of change of frequency (RoCoF), maximum frequency deviation, and quasi-steady-state (Q-S-S) frequency which are devised in a joint energy, carbon, and FR ancillary service market. To solve this nonconvex and nonlinear market problem, while minimizing the uplift payment, a tractable shrunken convex hull pricing method is presented.

Foam injection has emerged as a promising technique that not only enhances oil recovery but also improves CO2 storage capacity. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of CO2 foam injection for simultaneously optimizing oil recovery and CO2 storage in a depleted oil reservoir. A hydrodynamic model was simulated to represent a formation with 30% residual oil, incorporating three CO2 trapping mechanisms: solubility, residual, and mineralization trapping. The findings reveal that foam injection resulted in oil recovery rates more than twice as high as those achieved with gas injection. Foam injection also improved CO2 retention, with almost 30% of injected CO2 remaining in the reservoir after 20 years, compared to 25% with gas injection. The theoretical CO2 storage capacity was enhanced by 2.3 times, potentially storing up to 1.72 gigatons of CO2 in the model. Residual trapping was the primary mechanism responsible for this increased storage, while solubility trapping was constrained by high brine salinity. This study demonstrates that CO2 foam injection can significantly improve both CO2 sequestration and oil recovery in depleted oil reservoirs, offering a dual benefit for CO2 injection in the petroleum industry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/225087-ms","authors":["A.

Given the development of carbon capture and storage technology, this study attempts direct mineral carbonation of steelmaking slag with flue gas. Response surface methodology was employed to design gas-solid and slurry phase aqueous carbonation experiments. A maximum reduction of about 36.1% was achieved through aqueous carbonation at 61.1 °C, 46.24 bar, and a liquid-to-solid ratio of 14.5, corresponding to a sequestration capacity of 127.4 g of CO 2 /kg of slag.

Regression models used to study the carbonation process were found to be statistically significant. The carbonated slag consisted of mineral phases, namely, calcite and dolomite. The results demonstrated the sequestration potential of Indian steelmaking slag with flue gas. Carbonation of steelmaking slag with flue gas poses to be a promising option for the development of carbon capture and storage technology in the country.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-021-17493-4","authors":["Tamilselvi Dananjayan RushendraRevathy","Andimuthu Ramachandran","Kandasamy Palanivelu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-11-16T22:02:48Z","doi":"10.1007/s11356-021-17493-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"doi:10.61424/ijans.v3i1.296","name":"The Convergence of AI and Nature: Advancing Carbon Dioxide Capture, Removal, and Storage Technologies through Integrated Ecosystem-Based Strategies","source":"crossref","abstract":"This paper examines the critical integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) to enhance Carbon Dioxide Capture, Removal, and Storage (CCRS) technologies.

Each technology performs optimally at specific conditions, which will hardly coincide with exact industrial applications. Hybrid processes combine two (or more) technologies to perform the CO 2 separation. The goal is to design processes that allow each technology in the hybrid configuration to operate optimally, resulting in cost-effective CO 2 capture solutions. This study explores the feasibility of realizing this potential by mapping the techno-economic potential of selected hybrid processes across a wide spectrum of CO 2 concentrations, plant scales and energy system contexts. The four hybrid processes considered are: vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA)-membrane, membrane-VPSA, VPSA-CO 2 liquefaction and membrane-CO 2 liquefaction. A consistent techno-economic optimization framework is developed to identify the optimal process characteristics and associated minimum cost for each case considered. The performances are compared against those of conventional standalone capture technologies – VPSA, membranes and chemical absorption. Hybrid processes show promising results for medium-to-high CO 2 concentrations (≈13%-30% CO 2 ), where costs in the range 40-70 €/t CO2 appear achievable. However, even when different levels of electricity price and emission intensity are considered, chemical absorption and membranes remain the two most cost-efficient processes in most of the cases considered with hybrid processes at least 15% more expensive. The material properties of membranes and adsorbents proved to have a significant impact on the expected performance. The sensitivity analysis showed how changing material properties assumption within relevant boundaries could modify the relative performance and advance hybrid processes, such as VPSA-membrane, as potentially attractive solutions, with the potential to decrease cost of more than 10% at specific industrial conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100498","authors":["Luca Riboldi","Rahul Anantharaman","Donghoi Kim","Rubén M.

This work presents a multistage data evaluation process carried out to provide a plan for the development of a full-chain industrial CCS cluster. For this purpose, we identified an industrial emission hub in Asturias region (Spain) as a large CO2 emission source and priority decarbonization target. Using publicity available information on storage structures, we applied a multi-staged source-to-sink assessment methodology to select the most suitable site for the storage of the captured CO2. This methodology involves testing multiple scenarios to provide a sensitivity analysis of the selection of the best candidate, the Iglesias-UT structure.

A series of CaO-Ni based DFMs with different support materials, including Al 2 O 3 , CeO 2 , graphene (GPE) and commercial multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), were synthesized and compared for integrated CO 2 capture and methanation (ICCM). The effect of operational temperatures on carbon conversion and CH 4 production was also explored. Results show that metal oxides supported DFMs exhibit relatively high CH 4 yield, while the carbon materials possessed comparable activity but very good durability in a continuous ICCM test for 10 cycles. The improved stability was contributed by the resistance in metal phase aggregation which restrained the increase of Ni particle size during cycle test. A favorable performance with CO 2 capture capacity of 0.24 mmol/g DFMs and CO 2 conversion of 80% were achieved in the presence of DFMs supported by commercial MWCNTs at 450°C. Furthermore, cost-effective plastic waste derived MWCNTs were used to replace the commercial samples for the above ICCM process from a green and sustainable perspective. It is found that Co modified CaO-Ni DFMs supported by plastic derived MWCNTs displayed excellent performance with approximately 0.15 mmol/g DFMs of CH 4 yield and even 100% of CH 4 selectivity in ICCM. This may be contributed by the enhanced CO 2 adsorption/activation and H 2 chemisorption with Co addition. Carbon footprint assessment show that the plastic waste assisted ICCM process achieved around 92% and 20% reduction in global warming potential compared to two prevalent industrial carbon conversion and methanation scenarios. These findings highlight the promising potential of the proposed ICCM for enhancing industrial sustainability and combating climate change.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100473","authors":["Lanxun Zhao","Ruting Nie","Zhenliang Guo","Jiawen Hu","Qiang Hu","Shuiping Yan","Dingding Yao","Haiping Yang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-29T06:44:27Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100473","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-96-9845-5_1","name":"Hydrogen Storage and Utilization","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-96-9845-5_1","authors":["Yinshi Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-01T06:45:35Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-96-9845-5_1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100304","name":"Addressing solar power curtailment by integrating flexible direct air capture","source":"crossref","abstract":"Direct air capture (DAC) is one of the principal negative emission technologies for addressing climate change, but its deployment is hindered by the high cost and substantial energy consumption. Only being powered by low-cost renewable energy, DAC can maximize its negative emission potential, in return, DAC can help the decarbonization of the power sector. Due to the intermittency of renewable energy, effectively integrating renewable energy with DAC currently remains a significant challenge. To address this research gap, this study focuses on exploring flexible operation strategies of the adsorbent based DAC system, coupling them with an actual photovoltaic (PV) power station, and making DAC systems participate in minute-level dispatch. The adsorbent based DAC system adopts a modular design, allowing each unit to operate as an independent load, not requiring continuous operation and enabling interruption between cycles or processes. Additionally, the adsorption process is curtailable and extendable to dynamically adjust the time of activating desorption. The flexible operational combination allows the DAC to better match the fluctuation of PV . Based on actual data and time-of-use pricing, this paper conducts a comparative techno-economic analysis of DAC and battery energy storage (BES) systems. The results indicate that deploying flexible DAC is the most cost-effective among different given scenarios. Deploying 46,800 DAC units primarily powered by solar curtailment can achieve the lowest cost of $30,000/MW-year for the selected 1000 MW PV power station, along with an 80 % curtailment consumption rate and annual 634,000 tons CO 2 captured. Before 2030, coupling DAC with PV can effectively address the curtailment issues and assist with peak shaving. As carbon prices gradually rise and adsorbent costs decrease, by 2040, DAC will release its negative emission potential, playing a crucial role in achieving net zero or even negative carbon emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100304","authors":["Yuhang Liu","Yihe Miao","Lun Wang","Xilin Gu","Zhaoyang Li","Shigenori Fujikawa","Lijun Yu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-22T16:51:15Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100304","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.738Z"},{"id":"doi:10.62311/nesx/rb-978-81-985322-1-3","name":"Carbon Capture and Molecular Conversion for Climate Reversal","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract: Carbon capture and molecular conversion are increasingly positioned as complementary levers for climate reversal, yet their scientific and governance credibility depends on disciplined research design and decision-grade analytics.

This case study stems from sequestration case study of permeate transport from a producing field to store at a depleted gas reservoir. The process includes permeate separation, hydrocarbon recovery, compression, pipeline for transportation and injection at the targeted CCS sequestration site. Therefore, it is quintessential to conduct comprehensive project specific risk assessment that accounts for the complexity of the case study to mitigate the risk of operational disruptions following the first injection. In such cases any operational upsets at the CCS site could have cascading effects impacting production downtime across all producing fields lined up for carbon sequestration. Firstly, the case study will focus on risk assessment related to wells, emphasizing the importance of early identification and analysis of potential risks to ensure their integration into well design. This proactive approach is critical for reducing the overall project risk and uncertainty. The study paves way for selecting appropriate completion accessories setting depth and wellhead material specifications in accordance with API 6A temperature classification guideline. Transient modelling approach was adopted, and multiple scenarios were tested to determine the optimal well design based on permeate characteristics and reservoir fluid composition. Secondly, the study case also emphasizes risk assessment related to potential flow assurance challenges such as asphaltene precipitation risk, hydrates risk and salt precipitation risk, evaluating their impact while identifying control barriers and safeguarding measures designed to prevent operational upsets. Classical reservoir analysis techniques including contact movement and historical reservoir production evaluation of depleted gas field along with fluid modelling were employed to access the potential flow assurance risks. Finally, recommendations were developed that best align with this case study outcome given the information available at this stage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/225774-ms","authors":["Shaturrvetan Karpaya","W Amni W Mohamad","M Yusuf Amat","Sharidah M Amin","Ankaj Kumar Sinha","M Redha B C Mat","Mohd Farris Bakar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-25T20:15:31Z","doi":"10.2118/225774-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.739Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.739Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21608/jpme.2025.341834.1219","name":"Optimization of Carbon Capture and Storage System via Pinch Analysis and Superstructure Model: A Comparative Study","source":"crossref","abstract":"The isomerization unit improves the research octane number of light naphtha with better environmental impacts.Recent developments in increasing the octane number in the isomerization unit lead to an increase in the demand for hydrogen in the refining.Therefore, the disconnection between the hydrogen network and increasing the octane number in the isomerization unit will lead to a shortage of hydrogen and unmet demand for hydrogen.The present work is an integrated approach to the isomerization process in refineries and hydrogen network design.Modeling and optimization of the overall hydrogen network objective to minimize the total consumption of fresh hydrogen and maximize the isomerization octane number using a goal programming multi-objective optimization approach is presented.The model is introduced for two cases, reuse/recycling and hydrogen regeneration networks.The global network model is a multi-objective nonlinear programming model, and is optimized using Lingo optimization software version 14.The results showed that by integrating the isomerization model with the hydrogen reuse/recycling network, the fresh hydrogen saving was 20.871 kmol/h compared to 7.772 kmol/h in the case of neglecting the isomerization model.On the other hand, a significant reduction of 447.898 kmol/h in fresh hydrogen was achieved in the hydrogen regeneration network when including the isomerization model compared to that achieved when neglecting the isomerization model (343.261kmol/h).In addition, the optimum operating conditions, feed specifications and hydrogen consumption of the isomerization unit that gives the maximum research octane number and the minimum fresh hydrogen were determined for both the reuse/recycling and hydrogen regeneration network cases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21608/jpme.2025.341834.1219","authors":["Fatma Mahmoud Ayyad","Walaa Mahmoud Shehata","Abeer Mahmoud Shoaib"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-12T08:52:15Z","doi":"10.21608/jpme.2025.341834.1219","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.739Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:19.739Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4324/9781003607151-3","name":"CCUS Considering Global Climate Policy and the European Green Deal","source":"crossref","abstract":"The chapter presents growing political interest in CCS/CCUS technologies along with the basis of the technologies themselves.

CCS can potentially sequester billions of tonnes of CO2 per year using the Earth as the widest laboratory available for long-term storage. In geological reservoirs, CO2 can be trapped by physical and chemical mechanisms. Among chemical mechanisms, mineral carbonation plays a crucial role in CCS, being almost irreversible, involving the chemical reaction in aqueous environment between CO2 and Mg- and/or Ca-rich minerals, where CO2 is converted into solid carbonates.In nature, listvenite, a rock mainly composed of Mg-Ca-bearing carbonates, quartz and Cr-bearing mica (fuchsite), documents natural CO2 sequestration. Indeed, listvenites are the result of the extensive alteration of ultramafic rocks by CO2-bearing fluids, which involved the substitution of olivine, pyroxene and serpentine by Ca- and Mg-carbonates. To date, very little is known about the kinetics and rate of this reaction, spanning from weeks (serpentinites) to thousands of years (peridotites).We studied carbonated serpentinites from the Zermatt-Saas Zone (Corno del Camoscio, Western Alps, Italy) which underwent fluid-mediated natural carbonation under hydrothermal conditions. Hydrothermal carbonation is spatially associated to Oligo-Miocenic brittle faults of the Aosta-Ranzola system (Bistacchi et al., 2001). Field structural surveys identified two main strike-slip fault sets (N-S and NW-SE striking) controlling fluid flow, with voluminous carbonation observed mainly along the NW-SE-striking set. We collected a series of structurally-controlled samples along a reaction front from serpentinite to listvenite close to a major fault zone, aiming to relate the CO2-rich fluid/rock interaction with mega and meso-structures, along with detailed microstructural and chemical analyses.The petrographic study, along with X-ray maps and microprobe chemical analyses, identify the following mineral associations, from serpentinite to listvenite: (i) serpentine + chlorite and minor quartz + fuchsite, talc, calcite and dolomite, (ii) serpentine + brucite + chlorite and minor quartz, talc, calcite and dolomite-siderite, (iii) dolomite, quartz, chlorite, serpentine and minor fuchsite associated with quartz-chlorite layers, (iv) quartz, dolomite and fuchsite with relict brucite. Interestingly, samples collected close to the serpentinite show microfolds where dolomite is stable, subsequently cut by brittle deformation related to the large-scale faults, suggesting a previous stage of fluid-mediated carbonation under a ductile deformation regime.Qualitative and quantitative X-ray powder diffraction data enabled us to calculate a mass balance to model the rate of reaction and the composition of the original fluids. Preliminary results indicate a structural control on the fluid drainage and the role of brucite to dominate the carbonation reaction, as reported by experimental results of Campione et al.

Eddy covariance, accumulation chamber monitoring, and deep learning techniques require extensive baseline data for comparison.

Building safe, long-term CCS wells is crucial and the thorough testing and selection of materials for applications in well construction is critical to a project's success. This paper identifies metals and elastomers that can withstand CO2 fluids and impurities throughout a well's life, with a focus on Metal Expandable Packer (MEP) technology. The combination of impurities and formation fluid in a well often creates a corrosive environment for completion equipment, potentially resulting in CO2 leaking back into the atmosphere. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the survivability of a set of potential materials. During testing, materials were exposed for 30 days to a CCS environment inside of a full-scale flow loop, after which they were analyzed for degradation, corrosion, and changes to material properties. A detailed description of the test design, coupon preparation criteria, impurities used in the loop, and protocols are presented in this paper, including the specific testing of MEPs. Well completions equipment for the CCS environment can be made of CRA or epoxy-lined materials. The high cost of CRA can render it prohibitively expensive, while epoxy-lined materials may experience mechanical degradation. Therefore, alternative materials with the potential for use in completion products were tested. The tests were performed by exposing the materials to certain CO2 concentrations and impurities to analyze the effect on metallic and non-metallic components. This was performed inside a flow loop facility, replicating a formation water flowback scenario during a long shut-in period. The targeted selection included seven different metals, a few selective welds, and nine types of sealing elements. A detailed explanation of failure scenarios and a review of corrosion types, such as stress corrosion cracking (SCC), provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by these different materials. In addition, any instances of corrosion of weld joints received an Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. Moreover, this paper reviews a field case where MEPs were considered. The case study examines the potential implications of using MEPs in real-world CCS conditions, providing valuable insights into their effectiveness and reliability in mitigating CO2 leakage and ensuring integrity for the well's entire lifespan. A full-scale CO2 flow loop testing method was configured to recreate CCS downhole well conditions, which would help to select suitable materials for CCS well and mitigate potential equipment failures due to CO2 exposure.

By analyzing the correlation between cement composition, carbonation patterns, and mechanical properties, the research aims to demonstrate how exposure environments affect cement chemically and physically. Findings will provide information towards the design of durable cement formulations to enhance long-term zonal isolation in CCS application. Two cement systems - Class G (G), Class G with fly ash (GF) – are exposed to SC-CO2 and CO2-saturated brine at 70°C (158°F) and 28 MPa (4,060 psi) up to 6 months. Post-exposure characterization includes phenolphthalein tests, XRD, TGA, X-ray microscopy (XRM), permeability measurements, Vickers hardness testing, and uniaxial compressive strength measurements. These methods link mineralogical changes, microstructural alteration, flowability assessment and mechanical performance, providing insights into carbonation mechanisms and long-term cement integrity assessment under simulated downhole CCS conditions. High-portlandite cement (G) under SC-CO2 exposure demonstrates a competing mechanism between carbonation and CO2 diffusion. The rapid carbonation near the exposure surface forms CaCO3, which blocks pores and restricts further CO2 diffusion. Meanwhile, continuing CO2 diffusion through remaining pathways drives more carbonation. This competing process results in a distinct multi-layer structure. While carbonation increases density and hardness, it raises integrity concerns due to the formation of brittle layers. Low-portlandite systems (GF) shows uniform carbonation throughout, maintaining structural integrity. The transport mechanism in CO2-brine exposure is different. CO2 dissolves in brine to form carbonic acid, which then moves into the pores. Carbonation rates is slower than SC-CO2 exposure because CO2 concentration is lower in brine. This slower carbonation results in lower levels of CaCO3 formation and deep penetration of CO2-brine solutions into the cement matrix. Consequently, both G and GF cement in CO2-brine shows uniform carbonation with lower hardness increment when compared to SC-CO2 exposure samples. Permeability remains low in both cement systems despite structure and chemical alteration, validating cement’s sealing capacity within test duration. In conclusion, cement composition affects carbonation mechanisms - high portlandite content drives stratified carbonation, while well engineered blend system with fly ash enables uniform carbonation. This study provides a systematic comparison of cement carbonation mechanisms under both SC-CO2 and CO2-brine exposure over extended durations (up to 6 months). By correlating the results of chemical, physical, direct, and indirect techniques, the research reveals environment specific carbonation mechanisms. These findings contribute to the understanding of the long-term performance of well cement systems in CCS applications, offering the pathway for optimizing cement designs and derisking well construction for CO2 storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/227930-ms","authors":["Y.

Carbon dioxide utilization is emerging as a complementary technology to carbon dioxide capture and storage for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and as a promising source of competitive advantage for European industry. Current carbon dioxide utilisation technologies are at different stages of maturity, with some being ready to implement immediately. Others are still under research or at a pilot or demonstration phase, requiring further development to reach commercial maturity. Thus, the profitability of such processes under current market conditions is still under evaluation. This study explores the conditions required for an environmentally and economically feasible methanol producing carbon dioxide utilisation system embedded in the energy system. The choice to produce methanol is based on its current mature commercial status and on growing global demand, which makes it an attractive product. The concept proposed considers only one system actor: a wind power producer with a typical operating wind power generation portfolio that invests in a new technology to maximise the total profit. The core of the business model is based on decisions for: (i) selling the wind power in the day-ahead or intraday bidding sessions of the power market or, (ii) producing methanol to be sold to third parties. Several scenarios are tested within the proposed business model to define optimum conditions. Limitations for the economic feasibility of the methanol plant integration into a market with an increasing integration of renewable energy are also highlighted. Results show that producing methanol instead of selling the wind power generated in the market is more profitable when the methanol plant size is three times smaller than a conventional and when power is generated by high speed winds. Under such conditions, the power market energy mix has high amounts of wind power and thus, already a significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions rate. Wind power supplied to the small methanol plant is less than 1% of the total wind energy produced. Furthermore, the wind producer could increase profits by up to 33% by integrating methanol production into their business strategy rather than selling all the energy produced in the power market.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.03.114","authors":["Iratxe González‐Aparicio","Zoe Kapetaki","Evangelos Tzimas"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Renewable energy","Profitability index","Environmental economics","Bidding"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-04-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.03.114","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.023Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.308Z"},{"id":"oa:W4213117627","name":"Root exudate chemistry affects soil carbon mobilization via microbial community reassembly","source":"openalex","abstract":"Plant roots are one of the major mediators that allocate carbon captured from the atmosphere to soils as rhizodeposits, including root exudates. Although rhizodeposition regulates both microbial activity and the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, the effects of particular exudate species on soil carbon fluxes and key rhizosphere microorganisms remain unclear. By combining high-throughput sequencing, q-PCR, and NanoSIMS analyses, we characterized the bacterial community structure, quantified total bacteria depending on root exudate chemistry, and analyzed the consequences on the mobility of mineral-protected carbon. Using well-controlled incubation experiments, we showed that the three most abundant groups of root exudates (amino acids, carboxylic acids, and sugars) have contrasting effects on the release of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and bioavailable Fe in an Ultisol through the disruption of organo-mineral associations and the alteration of bacterial communities, thus priming organic matter decomposition in the rhizosphere. High resolution (down to 50 nm) NanoSIMS images of mineral particles indicated that iron and silicon co-localized significantly more organic carbon following amino acid inputs than treatments without exudates or with carboxylic acids. The application of sugar strongly reduced microbial diversity without impacting soil carbon mobilization. Carboxylic acids increased the prevalence of Actinobacteria and facilitated carbon mobilization, whereas amino acid addition increased the abundances of Proteobacteria that prevented DOC release. In summary, root exudate functions are defined by their chemical composition that regulates bacterial community composition and, consequently, the biogeochemical cycling of carbon in the rhizosphere.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fmre.2021.12.016","authors":["Tao Wen","Guanghui Yu","Wen-Dan Hong","Jun Yuan","Guoqing Niu","Penghao Xie","Fu‐Sheng Sun","Laodong Guo","Yakov Kuzyakov","Qirong Shen"],"tags":["Exudate","Microbial population biology","Chemistry","Carbon fibers","Environmental chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-02-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fmre.2021.12.016","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.023Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.308Z"},{"id":"oa:W3216018398","name":"Underground gas storage as a promising natural methane bioreactor and reservoir?","source":"openalex","abstract":"Employing deep reservoirs as UGS (underground gas storage) has a long history across continents.

A base case simulation model of a process with MEA is developed and validated at two capture rates, of 20 and 2000 tonnes per day, with the data reported in a study prepared by Nexant. The model was then used for a 1900 tonnes-per-day capture facility, and several combinations of substantial process modifications, including absorber intercooling (AIC), lean vapor recompression (LVR), and parallel exchanger arrangement (PEA) are investigated. Various scenarios for the two amine-based solvents are simulated in Aspen HYSYS®, and the results are compared with a base case conventional process for the same solvent. Results from the studied scenarios showed that a-MDEA with AIC-LVR modifications is a more attractive option due to an 8% reduction in stripper reboiler energy and its associated steam costs. The analysis of the studied cases showed that the effect of solvent on energy saving is more important than that of process modification, with the combined effect of both modification and solvent bringing higher benefits. It is also concluded that a complex process such as PCC with AIC-LVR-PEA modifications has the highest energy savings although it is less cost-effective. While OPEX (Operating Expenditure) values (mainly associated with utility steam and cooling water consumption) are still considerable, we ended up with CAPEX-intensive (Capital Expenditure) capture plants.

This study empirically investigated the dynamic impacts of economic growth, fossil fuel energy use, renewable energy use, and agricultural productivity on CO2 emissions in Nepal. Time series data from 1990 to 2019 were utilized by applying the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach followed by the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) method. The ARDL bounds test revealed evidence of cointegration among the variables. The DOLS findings revealed that an increase in economic growth and fossil fuel energy use by 1% for each variable would increase CO2 emissions by 0.61% and 0.67%, respectively. Conversely, a 1% increase in renewable energy use and agricultural productivity may lead to CO2 emissions reduction by 3.65% and 0.41% in the long run. The estimated results are robust to alternative estimators such as fully modified least squares (FMOLS) and canonical cointegrating regression (CCR).

KSA has rolled out the 2030 Vision aiming at creating a more diverse and sustainable economy that cascaded into a series of initiatives, including the circular carbon economy, Saudi green initiative, and the national renewable energy program. Furthermore, KSA has recently announced an ambitious goal to reach net-zero goal by 2060. In its updated nationally determined contribution (NDC), the Kingdom committed to reducing its carbon emissions by 278 million tons of CO2eq (equivalent) annually by 2030. This ambition is more than a twofold increase versus the previously announced target (130 million tons of CO2eq). With no current plans to change its hydrocarbon production rates, this reduction in emissions would be achieved mainly through diversifying its energy mix, increasing the efficiency of industrial processes, and deploying carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS). To achieve this goal, it is vital to establish a detailed register for CO2 emissions from stationary industrial sources to design optimum and effective CCUS applications. This register includes details about the emission source locations, rates, and characteristics. For the first time, this paper provides a country-wide extensive study that maps out CO2 emissions from stationary industrial emitters associated with the leading six industries in the country, which are electricity generation, desalination, oil refining, cement, petrochemicals, and iron & steel. Moreover, CO2 concentrations within the emitted flue gas from these resources are estimated, which is crucial to determine the capture cost. This study aims to provide a vital resource for researchers and policymakers who seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by promoting renewable energy, improving the efficiency of existing fossil-fuel-based industries, and evaluating the potential of CCUS in KSA.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecmx.2022.100299","authors":["Ali Hamieh","Feras Rowaihy","Mohammed Al-Juaied","Ahmed Nabil Abo-Khatwa","Abdulkader M.

A number of alternatives like hydrogen or dimethyl ether/methanol synthesised using CO 2 as feedstock for fuel production (hereafter refer to “CO 2 -based fuels”) have been proposed to combat climate change. However, the decarbonisation potential of CO 2 -based fuels is under debate because CO 2 is re-emitted to the atmosphere when the fuel is combusted; and the majority of hydrogen still relies on fossil resources, which makes its prospects of being a low-carbon fuel dependent on its manufacturing process. First, this paper investigates the relative economic and environmental performance of hydrogen (produced from conventional steam methane reforming and produced via electrolysis using renewable energy), and CO 2 -based fuels (dimethyl ether and methanol), considering the full carbon cycle. The results reveal that hydrogen produced from steam methane reforming is the most economical option and that hydrogen produced via electrolysis using renewables has the best environmental profile. Whereas the idea of CO 2 -based fuels has recently gained much interest, it has for the foreseeable future rather limited practical relevance since there is no favourable combination of cost and environmental performance. This will only change in the long run and requires that CO 2 is of non-fossil origin, i.e. from biomass combustion or captured from air. Second, this paper address unresolved methodological issues in the assessment of CO 2 -based fuels, such as the possible allocation of emissions to the different sectors involved. The outcomes indicate that implementing different allocation approaches substantially influences the carbon footprint of CO 2 -based fuels. To avoid allocation issues, expanding the boundaries including the entire system and is therefore recommended.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.11.055","authors":["Cora Fernández-Dacosta","Li Shen","Wouter Schakel","Andrea Ramírez","Gert Jan Kramer"],"tags":["Steam reforming","Fossil fuel","Renewable fuels","Dimethyl ether","Renewable energy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-12-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.11.055","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.308Z"},{"id":"oa:W3111739508","name":"The future of coal supply in China based on non-fossil energy development and carbon price strategies","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2020.119644","authors":["Dingfei Jie","Xiangyang Xu","Fei Guo"],"tags":["Coal","China","Natural resource economics","Fossil fuel","Energy supply"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-12-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2020.119644","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.308Z"},{"id":"oa:W4393131685","name":"Accelerated CO2 mineralization technology using fly ash as raw material: Recent research advances","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2024.150676","authors":["Chenglong Wang","Huayu Jiang","Endong Miao","Yujie Wang","Tiantian Zhang","Yuqi Xiao","Zhiyuan Liu","Jun Ma","Zhuo Xiong","Yongchun Zhao","Junying Zhang"],"tags":["Mineralization (soil science)","Carbonation","Fly ash","Raw material","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2024.150676","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.308Z"},{"id":"oa:W3008589040","name":"Advances in Carbon Management Technologies","source":"openalex","abstract":"Advances in carbon Management Technologies comprises 43 chapters, in 2 volumes, contributed by experts from all over the world.

For the past decade, observations of carbonyl sulfide (OCS or COS) have been investigated as a proxy for carbon uptake by plants. OCS is destroyed by enzymes that interact with CO2 during photosynthesis, namely carbonic anhydrase (CA) and RuBisCO, where CA is the more important one. The majority of sources of OCS to the atmosphere are geographically separated from this large plant sink, whereas the sources and sinks of CO2 are co-located in ecosystems. The drawdown of OCS can therefore be related to the uptake of CO2 without the added complication of co-located emissions comparable in magnitude. Here we review the state of our understanding of the global OCS cycle and its applications to ecosystem carbon cycle science. OCS uptake is correlated well to plant carbon uptake, especially at the regional scale. OCS can be used in conjunction with other independent measures of ecosystem function, like solar-induced fluorescence and carbon and water isotope studies. More work needs to be done to generate global coverage for OCS observations and to link this powerful atmospheric tracer to systems where fundamental questions concerning the carbon and water cycle remain.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-15-3625-2018","authors":["Mary Whelan","Sinikka T.

Currently, research efforts are mainly focused on high- or medium-pressure adsorption, rather than low-pressure or DAC (direct air capture) conditions. Highly porous and functionalized carbon, containing heteroatoms (N, O, etc.), is synthesized using different activation synthesis routes, such as hard template, soft template, and chemical activation, to achieve high CO2 capture efficiency at various temperatures and pressure ranges. Fundamental pore formation mechanisms with different activation routes have been evaluated and explored. Higher porosity alone can be ineffective without the presence of proper saturated diffusion pathways for CO2 transfer. Therefore, it is imperative to emphasize more rational multi-hierarchical macro-/meso-/micro-/super-/ultra-pore design strategies to achieve a higher utilization efficiency of these pores. Moreover, the present research primarily focuses on powder-based hierarchical porous carbon materials, which may reduce the efficiency of the capture performance when shaping the powder into pellets or fixed-bed shapes for applications considered. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a synthesis strategy for pelletized porous carbon and to explore its mechanistic synthesis route and potential for CO2 capture.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/surfaces6030023","authors":["Gazi A.

Cyanobacteria-dominated hypersaline laminated mats are a useful model ecosystem for the study of C flow in complex communities, as they use photosynthesis to sustain a more or less closed system. Although such mats have a large C reservoir in the extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs), the production and degradation of organic carbon is not well defined. To identify extracellular processes in cyanobacterial mats, we examined mats collected from Elkhorn Slough (ES) at Monterey Bay, California, for glycosyl and protein composition of the EPS. We found a prevalence of simple glucose polysaccharides containing either α or β (1,4) linkages, indicating distinct sources of glucose with differing enzymatic accessibility. Using proteomics, we identified cyanobacterial extracellular enzymes, and also detected activities that indicate a capacity for EPS degradation. In a less complex system, we characterized the EPS of a cyanobacterial isolate from ES, ESFC-1, and found the extracellular composition of biofilms produced by this unicyanobacterial culture were similar to that of natural mats. By tracing isotopically labeled EPS into single cells of ESFC-1, we demonstrated rapid incorporation of extracellular-derived carbon. Taken together, these results indicate cyanobacteria reuse excess organic carbon, constituting a dynamic pool of extracellular resources in these mats.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/ismej.2015.180","authors":["Rhona Stuart","Xavier Mayali","Jackson Z.

It is of great significance to exploit microalgae for the economical viability of biofuels and the revenues from high-value bioproducts. However, the industrial performance of microalgae is still challenged with potential conflict between cost of microalgae cultivation and revenues from them, which is mainly ascribed to the lack of comprehensive understanding of carbon metabolism and energy conversion. In this review, we provide an overview of the recent advances in carbon and energy fluxes of light-dependent reaction, Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle, tricarboxylic acid cycle, glycolysis pathway and processes of product biosynthesis in microalgae, with focus on the increased photosynthetic and carbon efficiencies. Recent strategies for the enhanced production of bioproducts and biofuels from microalgae are discussed in detail. Approaches to alter microbial physiology by controlling light, nutrient and other environmental conditions have the advantages of increasing biomass concentration and product yield through the efficient carbon conversion. Engineering strategies by regulating carbon partitioning and energy route are capable of improving the efficiencies of photosynthesis and carbon conversion, which consequently realize high-value biomass. The coordination of carbon and energy fluxes is emerging as the potential strategy to increase efficiency of carbon fixation and product biosynthesis. To achieve more desirable high-value products, coordination of multi-stage cultivation with engineering and stress-based strategies occupies significant positions in a long term.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-018-1225-6","authors":["Han Sun","Weiyang Zhao","Xuemei Mao","Yuelian Li","Tao Wu","Feng Chen"],"tags":["Bioproducts","Biofuel","Carbon fixation","Biomass (ecology)","Bioenergy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-08-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-018-1225-6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.308Z"},{"id":"oa:W3047666312","name":"Development of biomass derived highly porous fast adsorbents for post-combustion CO2 capture","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2020.118506","authors":["Farooq Sher","Sania Zafar Iqbal","Shaima Albazzaz","Usman Ali","Daniela Andresa Mortari","Tazien Rashid"],"tags":["Adsorption","Pyrolysis","Combustion","Biomass (ecology)","Gravimetric analysis"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-08-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2020.118506","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.308Z"},{"id":"oa:W3023404123","name":"Fluorescent Carbon Quantum Dots—Synthesis, Functionalization and Sensing Application in Food Analysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with stable physicochemical properties are one of theemerging carbon nanomaterials that have been studied in recent years.

Cryogenic carbon capture offers two potential advantages over amine-based technology. First, the efficiency is higher and thus the energy penalty is lower. Next, the flexibility of system integration is also higher, and thus the technology carries the potential of better balancing variable renewable electricity productions. By using the software tool EnergyPLAN and dedicated scenarios of achieving a carbon-neutral Denmark, this paper quantitatively estimates these benefits.

While environmental setting and seagrass cover are known drivers of carbon storage capacity, it is unclear how other seagrass features such as species composition influence carbon storage, and whether historical vs. contemporary features are better predictors of storage. Objectives We examined the influence of historical and contemporary seagrass variables on surface (0–10 cm) sediment organic carbon storage at the meadow-scale (~ 25 km 2 ), in addition to the influence of environmental drivers. Our study area was located within a subtropical mixed-species seagrass meadow along a low-energy coastline in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico (Cedar Key, Florida, USA). Methods We derived historical metrics of seagrass cover and composition from 14-year seagrass monitoring datasets and measured surface sediment carbon densities and grain size, contemporary seagrass biomass and species composition, as well as environmental characteristics related to hydrology and physical disturbance (i.e., relative exposure, elevation, and distance to navigation channels). We assessed bivariate relationships between predictor variables and surface carbon densities with linear regression analyses and used path analysis to assess hypothesized relationships between a subset of predictor variables and carbon densities. Results While low relative to global values, surface carbon densities in Cedar Key seagrass meadows varied by an order of magnitude. Sediment grain size was strongly related to carbon densities, but environmental variables had only indirect effects on carbon densities. Historical seagrass cover, variability in cover, and species diversity were generally better predictors of storage than contemporary variables. Historical and contemporary species identity–specifically the presence of Thalassia testudinum –were also significant drivers of storage. Conclusions In Cedar Key, historically diverse and persistent seagrass meadows dominated by late-successional species contained the largest surface carbon stores. Our results highlight the importance of site history in terms of meadow stability (inversely measured as variability in cover) as well as species identity and diversity in enhancing surface carbon storage. The environmental variables we examined had comparatively weak effects on carbon densities, however, relative exposure and elevation may not be the most relevant hydrological drivers of carbon storage at the meadow scale. Together, these findings suggest that drivers of seagrass meadow carbon storage are context and scale dependent.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-023-01700-3","authors":["Alexandra L.

We used data from two complementary campaigns at 40 sites in the United States across the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), in which one campaign sampled profiles from closely co-located intensive plots and physically composited similar horizons, and the other sampled dozens of pedons across the landscape at each site. We demonstrate some consistencies between these distinct designs, while also revealing that within-site replication reveals patterns and predictors of SOC stocks not detectable with non-replicated designs. Both designs demonstrate that SOC stocks of whole soil profiles vary across continental-scale climate gradients. However, broad climate patterns may mask the importance of localized variation in soil physicochemical properties, as captured by within-site sampling, especially for SOC stocks of discrete genetic horizons. Within-site replication also reveals examples in which expectations based on readily explained continental-scale patterns do not hold. For example, even wide-ranging drainage class sequences within landscapes do not duplicate the clear differences in profile SOC stocks across drainage classes at the continental scale, and physicochemical factors associated with increasing B horizon SOC stocks at continental scales frequently do not follow the same patterns within landscapes. Because inferences from SOC studies are a product of their context (where, when, how), this study provides context—in terms of SOC stocks and the factors that influence them—for others assessing soils and the C cycle at NEON sites.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10533-020-00745-9","authors":["L.

However, most research works targeted performance improvement of 3D ordered porous carbon, and the specific attenuation mechanism is still ambiguous. Therefore, in this work, a novel ultra-light egg-derived porous carbon foam (EDCF) structure has been successfully constructed by a simple carbonization combined with the silica microsphere template-etching process. Based on an equivalent substitute strategy, the influence of pore volume and specific surface area on the electromagnetic parameters and EMW absorption properties of the EDCF products was confirmed respectively by adjusting the addition content and diameter of silica microspheres. As a primary attenuation mode, the dielectric loss originates from the comprehensive effect of conduction loss and polarization loss in S-band and C band, and the value is dominated by polarization loss in X band and Ku band, which is obviously greater than that of conduction loss. Furthermore, in all samples, the largest effective absorption bandwidth of EDCF-3 is 7.12 GHz under the thickness of 2.13 mm with the filling content of approximately 5 wt%, covering the whole Ku band. Meanwhile, the EDCF-7 sample with optimized pore volume and specific surface area achieves minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of − 58.08 dB at 16.86 GHz while the thickness is 1.27 mm.

To reduce the cost of carbon neutrality, it is necessary to optimally design the supply chain of CCUS, which leads to mega scale problems for vast countries such as China. In this paper, a novel three-module framework including source-sink matching, meshing, and pipeline transportation network allocating, which has the advantage of plant-level decision and trunk transportation while keeping the size of the model solvable, is proposed. In addition, a database including major CO 2 emission sources in thermal power, cement, and iron-steel sectors as well as major CO 2 storage sinks in China is set up. By comparison of scenarios with and without offshore storage, offshore storage is found to be superior in those southern coastal provinces. With a transportation distance not exceeding 250 km, around 4.2 Gt of CO 2 can be captured and stored. Simultaneously, establishing sensible CCUS deployment objectives is crucial. As the planned deployment capacity rises from 601.8 to 1203.5 Mt/year, the unit net supply chain cost will elevate from 28.5 $/tonCO 2 to 36.0 $/ton, marking a 26% increase. Moreover, the evolution of CCUS deployment toward achieving carbon neutrality between 2025 and 2050 is analyzed. Notably, early stage deployment is suitable for provinces in northern China, while other provinces are anticipated to engage in subsequent phases. The comparative study indicates that CCUS is more economically viable than introducing green power and green hydrogen in the thermal power, iron-steel, and cement sectors for emission reduction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.3c03286","authors":["Nuo Wang","Xiaodong Hong","Yao Yang","Jingyuan Sun","Jingdai Wang","Yongrong Yang","Zuwei Liao"],"tags":["Software deployment","Environmental science","Carbon neutrality","Environmental economics","Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.3c03286","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W2885850765","name":"A review of plasma-assisted catalytic conversion of gaseous carbon dioxide and methane into value-added platform chemicals and fuels","source":"openalex","abstract":"OH synthesis.

According to the industrial processes used for its production, hydrogen may be labelled using different colours: (i) grey hydrogen, produced from natural gas using steam methane reforming (SMR), (ii) blue hydrogen, like the grey one, but with carbon capture and storage (CCS), (iii) green hydrogen, produced by water electrolysis using electricity from renewable sources only, (iv) “grid” hydrogen, produced by electrolysis using grid electricity. In this study, process simulation is used to solve material and energy balances, as well as to estimate capital and maintenance costs for each technology investigated. Then, process simulation outcomes are used to estimate three key performance indicators focusing on sustainability issues: the Energy Return on Energy Invested (EROEI), the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) and the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). With reference to the case study of the Trieste port in Italy, the potential of synthesizing and utilizing hydrogen to fuel transportation activities within a port is examined. Based on the daily hydrogen consumption in fuel cells installed on locomotors and trucks, the design of the different processes considered is carried out, as well as their comparison in terms of EROEI, LCOH, and LCA. Furthermore, LCA and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) evaluations for various hydrogen-fueled vehicles within the port are presented and compared to diesel-fueled ones to determine the impact of fuel-cell vehicles during operations. Results show that EROEI of hydrogen produced by electrolysis is larger than that produced by SMR with or without CCS. The LCOH for grey hydrogen is of the same order of magnitude of that of green or grid ones. The hydrogen compression step to 300 bar impacts on both energetic and economic performances. LCA indicates that the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of green hydrogen is at least half with respect to blue hydrogen, however other impact categories are less favourable. On the other hand, the TCO of hydrogen-fueled vehicles is higher than that of diesel-fueled ones, mainly because of the higher purchase costs.

The atmospheric CO 2 growth rates would have been much larger if natural sinks in the land biosphere and ocean had not removed over half of this anthropogenic CO 2 . As these CO 2 emissions grew, uptake by the ocean increased in response to increases in atmospheric CO 2 partial pressure (pCO 2 ). On land, gross primary production also increased, but the dynamics of other key aspects of the land carbon cycle varied regionally. Over the past three decades, CO 2 uptake by intact tropical humid forests declined, but these changes are offset by increased uptake across mid‐ and high‐latitudes. While there have been substantial improvements in our ability to study the carbon cycle, measurement and modeling gaps still limit our understanding of the processes driving its evolution. Continued ship‐based observations combined with expanded deployments of autonomous platforms are needed to quantify ocean‐atmosphere fluxes and interior ocean carbon storage on policy‐relevant spatial and temporal scales. There is also an urgent need for more comprehensive measurements of stocks, fluxes and atmospheric CO 2 in humid tropical forests and across the Arctic and boreal regions, which are experiencing rapid change. Here, we review our understanding of the atmosphere, ocean, and land carbon cycles and their interactions, identify emerging measurement and modeling capabilities and gaps and the need for a sustainable, operational framework to ensure a scientific basis for carbon management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2021rg000736","authors":["David Crisp","A.

The surface area and pore size of carbon were controlled by varying the precursor carbon to KOH mass ratio. The specific surface area significantly increased with the increasing amount of KOH, reaching a specific surface area of 2521 m2/g for a 1:3 mass ratio of precursor carbon/KOH. However, a 1:1 mass ratio of precursor carbon/KOH displayed the optimum charge storage capacitance of 407 F/g, owing to the ideal combination of micro- and mesopores and a higher degree of graphitization. The capacitive performance varied with the electrolyte employed. The orange-peel-derived electrode in KOH electrolyte displayed the maximum capacitance and optimum rate capability.

While insoluble in organic and inorganic solvents, elemental carbon does dissolve in transition metals of specific valence electron configurations. This property, accompanied by carbon’s low vapor pressure, high melting/sublimation point, resistance to corrosion and reducing properties create both challenges and opportunities for the handling and separation of carbon–TM systems. Natural and synthetic carbon-based materials are contaminated by transition metals to various extents, which hinders or totally precludes their advanced applications. Whether it is high-rank coal to be burned in power plants, graphite for electric car batteries or nuclear reactors, or graphene and single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) for nanoelectronics or medical purposes – TM impurities can cause a range of unexpected deleterious effects even at parts per billion levels. Despite impressive progress in the field of carbon-based material chemistry and physics, a commercial breakthrough in advanced carbon-based technology has not yet been achieved. One of a few major reasons for this failure is that the industrial production of homogeneous and truly metal-free carbon (nano)structures with particular properties remains a great challenge yet to be overcome and hence impedes high-end applications. A part of the scientific community erroneously considers the purification of carbon (nano)structures a resolved issue, however there is still much to be done in this area. Herein we discuss the problem of TM impurities in carbon-based (nano)materials in a broad context concerning the vast spectrum of materials from natural high-rank coals and graphite to synthetic SWCNTs and graphene. Fundamental considerations on TM–carbon interactions, artifacts and deleterious effects of TM impurities (e.g. in catalysis or medical applications), analytical techniques for the assessment of their concentration, purification and demetalation of carbonaceous materials and catalyst-free synthesis of carbon nanostructures are discussed in detail.

This paper established a trilinear flow model that effectively takes into account the dynamics of such reservoirs. This model incorporates stress sensitivity parameters and uses the perturbation transformation and Laplace transformation to solve the productivity prediction formula. The final productivity prediction curve post-fracturing is achieved through a numerical inversion method. This study shows that the stress sensitivity effect significantly diminishes the productivity of fractured horizontal wells used in bioenergy extraction. By introducing stress sensitivity effect parameters, this paper manages to uncover the influence law of mobility and artificial fracture parameters on productivity. Notably, as the reservoir mobility increases, the cumulative bioenergy production from fractured horizontal wells improves significantly. In addition to the above, this paper also scrutinizes the sensitivity of artificial fracture parameters and optimize both the quantity and length of these fractures. This plays a crucial role in enhancing the productivity and efficiency of bioenergy extraction from these tight reservoirs. The applicability and reliability of this method are extensively tested, thereby establishing its potential in guiding the development of low permeability reservoirs post-fracturing. Importantly, this research sets the groundwork for combining bioenergy production with Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies. By focusing on optimization and stress management in tight reservoirs, this paper contributes to the sustainable production of bioenergy and reduce carbon emissions, moving a step closer to a cleaner and sustainable future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2023.1240264","authors":["Xin Jiang","Gaoming Yu"],"tags":["Bioenergy","Petroleum engineering","Permeability (electromagnetism)","Hydraulic fracturing","Tight gas"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-08-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2023.1240264","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W3154475609","name":"High-performance nanostructured bio-based carbon electrodes for energy storage applications","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10570-021-03881-z","authors":["Adel Al Rai","Meltem Yanılmaz"],"tags":["Polyacrylonitrile","Materials science","Energy storage","Carbon fibers","Nanotechnology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10570-021-03881-z","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W4284992224","name":"Integrated system of anaerobic digestion and pyrolysis for valorization of agricultural and food waste towards circular bioeconomy: Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2022.127596","authors":["Rickwinder Singh","Kunwar Paritosh","Nidhi Pareek","Vivekanand Vivekanand"],"tags":["Anaerobic digestion","Biochar","Digestate","Waste management","Biogas"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-07-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2022.127596","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W3085028108","name":"Revisiting carbon lock-in in energy systems: Explaining the perpetuation of coal power in Japan","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon lock-in hampers the realisation of sustainable energy systems. It occurs when carbon-intensive technologies, markets and institutions co-evolve and become wedded to historical trajectories despite environmentally superior technologies being available. Multiple material and non-material causes are discussed in literature on socio-technical or energy transitions and carbon lock-in. However, these are yet to be synthesised into a comprehensive framework to guide the empirical identification of lock-in factors. Also, empirical understanding into how various causes of lock-in can interact is limited. To deepen understanding into the various types of socio-technical lock-in affecting energy transitions, we develop an encompassing analytical framework accounting for material, human, non-material and exogenous factors. In addition to carbon lock-in and path dependency, we synthesise diverse literature encompassing sustainability transitions, energy policy, innovation and firm management, economics and political economy. The resultant framework provides a finer-grained and more comprehensive understanding of lock-in than previous studies. Using Japan as a case study, we then apply this framework with two questions in mind: (i) What factors are contributing to the perpetuation of coal power in Japan? and ii) What opportunities emerge to overcome these? The empirical analysis is informed by triangulated data involving 46 semi-structured interviews and diverse documents. Our findings reveal a wide array of interacting factors that contribute to the perpetuation of coal-power in Japan and several emerging opportunities to tackle these. They also demonstrate our framework’s utility as a heuristic that scholars could apply to other cases to increase empirical understanding into the multiple causes of socio-technical lock-in.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2020.101770","authors":["Gregory Trencher","Adrian Rinscheid","Mert Duygan","Nhi Truong","Jusen Asuka"],"tags":["Coal","Power (physics)","Lock (firearm)","Carbon fibers","Energy (signal processing)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-09-12","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2020.101770","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W4200423441","name":"A review of the synthesis of activated carbon for biodiesel production: Precursor, preparation, and modification","source":"openalex","abstract":"Activated carbon (AC) is a porous material with unique chemical and physical properties that has been used widely in various applications.

Many ocean-based CDR strategies rely on injecting CO2 or organic carbon (that will eventually become CO2) into the ocean interior, or enhancing the ocean’s biological pump. These approaches will not result in permanent sequestration, because ocean currents will eventually return the injected CO2 back to the surface, where it will be brought into equilibrium with the atmosphere. Here, a model of steady state global ocean circulation and mixing is used to assess the time scales over which CO2 injected in the ocean interior remains sequestered from the atmosphere. There will be a distribution of sequestration times for any single discharge location due to the infinite number of pathways connecting a location at depth with the sea surface. The resulting probability distribution is highly skewed with a long tail of very long transit times, making mean sequestration times much longer than typical time scales. Deeper discharge locations will sequester purposefully injected CO2 much longer than shallower ones and median sequestration times are typically decades to centuries, and approach 1000 years in the deep North Pacific. Large differences in sequestration times occur both within and between the major ocean basins, with the Pacific and Indian basins generally having longer sequestration times than the Atlantic and Southern Oceans. Assessments made over a 50 year time horizon illustrates that most of the injected carbon will be retained for injection depths greater than 1000 m, with several geographic exceptions such as the Western North Atlantic. Ocean CDR strategies that increase upper ocean ecosystem productivity with the goal of exporting more carbon to depth will have mainly a short-term influence on atmospheric CO2 levels because ∼70% will be transported back to the surface ocean within 50 years. The results presented here will help plan appropriate ocean CDR strategies that can help limit climate damage caused by fossil fuel CO2 emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ac0be0","authors":["David A.

The integrated CO2 capture and hydrogenation process is an encouraging replacement to the conventional decoupled CO2 capture and hydrogenation process, which allows direct utilization of captured CO2 thus eliminating the energy‐intensive CO2 desorption and compression steps in the typical carbon capture and storage (CCS) process. The hydrogenation of captured CO2 in amine/alkali hydroxide solvents is the key step to attain the integrated CO2 capture and hydrogenation process. Considering the lack of timely review on the topic of hydrogenation of amine/alkali hydroxide solvent captured CO2 to formate in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts, a summary of such process with different capturing solvents and heterogeneous catalyst were critically summarized and briefly reviewed in the current paper.

The increased popularity of cryptocurrencies since the introduction of Bitcoin in 2009 has been accompanied by an increasing trend in greenhouse gas emissions and high electrical energy consumption. Popular energy tracking studies (e.g., Digiconomist and the Cambridge Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index (CBECI)) have estimated energy consumption ranges from 29.96 ​TWh to 135.12 ​TWh and 26.41 ​TWh to 176.98 ​TWh, respectively for Bitcoin as of July 2021, which are equivalent to the energy consumption of countries such as Sweden and Thailand. The latest estimate by Digiconomist on carbon footprints shows a 64.18 MtCO2 emission by Bitcoin as of July 2021, close to the emissions by Greece and Oman. This review compiles estimates made by various studies from 2018 to 2021. We compare the energy consumption and carbon footprints of these cryptocurrencies with countries around the world and centralized transaction methods such as Visa.

Due to its vast power generation sector, China is at present the world's top carbon dioxide emitter (CO2). Utilizing the Low-Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) – which is an integrated, scenario-based energy and environmental modelling tool created by the Stockholm Environment Agency – four scenarios other than the baseline scenario were devised and compared. The current study builds on two Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) scenarios and two Carbon Neutral (CNT) scenarios in which emissions peak in the year 2025 or 2030, allowing for an examination of ambitious actions necessary beyond business as usual and existing policy trajectories to attain net-zero emissions. This study also looked at how the learning curve affected the expenses in the aforementioned scenarios. It was determined that scenarios that deployed Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) technologies were more favourable in realizing China's carbon neutrality goal before 2060 by reaching negative emissions, and scenarios that achieved emissions peak earlier proved higher cost benefits as well. The findings of the study further revealed that the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) savings in the NDC 2025, NDC 2030, CNT 2025, and CNT 2030 scenarios will be 104.23 Gt, 76.77 Gt, 142.74 Gt, and 130.92 Gt respectively, in the study period 2020–2060 and the cost-benefit associated with them per tonne of CO2 will be 8.4, 8.5, 26.4, 30.4 CNY/t CO2, respectively. Moreover, under the CNT 2025 scenario, annual installed capacity of wind power should be greater than 46.8 GW between 2025 and 2030, and greater than 55.2 GW between 2030 and 2060; while the annual installed capacity of solar PV should be greater than 59.2 GW between 2025 and 2030, and greater than 61.3 GW between 2030 and 2060. The Chinese power production industry must seek to convert to a larger-scale deployment of carbon capture technologies such as CCS and BECCS.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2023.100112","authors":["Rida Maheen","Liya Cai","Ye Shui Zhang","Ming Zhao"],"tags":["Carbon dioxide","Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide","Carbon neutrality","Neutrality","China"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-04-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2023.100112","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W3043633537","name":"Optimization of low-carbon multi-energy systems with seasonal geothermal energy storage: The Anergy Grid of ETH Zurich","source":"openalex","abstract":"We investigate the optimal operation of multi-energy systems deploying geothermal energy storage to deal with the seasonal variability of heating and cooling demands. We do this by developing an optimization model that improves on the state-of-the-art by accounting for the nonlinearities of the physical system, and by capturing both the short- and long-term dynamics of energy conversion, storage and consumption. The algorithm aims at minimizing the CO2 emissions of the system while satisfying the heating and cooling demands of given end-users, and it determines the optimal operation of the system, i.e. the mass flow rate and temperature of the water circulating through the network, accounting for the time evolution of the temperature of the geothermal fields. This optimization model is developed with reference to a real-world application, namely the Anergy Grid installed at ETH Zurich, in Switzerland. Here, centralized heating and cooling provision based on fossil fuels is complemented by a dynamic underground network connecting geothermal fields, acting as energy source and storage, and demand end-users requiring heating and cooling energy. The proposed optimization algorithm allows reducing the CO2 emissions of the university campus by up to 87% with respect to the use of a conventional system based on centralized heating and cooling. This improves on the 72% emissions reduction achieved with the current operation strategies. Furthermore, the analysis of the system allows to derive design guidelines and to explain the rationale behind the operation of the system.

Several successful pilot‐scale projects have been carried out in basaltic rock (e.g., CarbFix, Wallula), demonstrating the potential for rapid CO 2 sequestration. However, these tests have been limited to the injection of small quantities of CO 2 . Thus, the longevity and feasibility of long‐term, large‐scale mineralization operations to store the levels of CO 2 needed to address the present climate crisis is unknown. Moreover, CO 2 mineralization in ultramafic rocks, which tend to be more reactive but less permeable, has not yet been quantified. In these systems, fractures are expected to play a crucial role in the flow and reaction of CO 2 within the rock mass and will influence the CO 2 storage potential of the system. Therefore, consideration of fractures is imperative to the prediction of CO 2 mineralization at a specific storage site. In this review, we highlight key takeaways, successes, and shortcomings of CO 2 mineralization pilot tests that have been completed and are currently underway. Laboratory experiments, directed toward understanding the complex geochemical and geomechanical reactions that occur during CO 2 mineralization in fractures, are also discussed. Experimental studies and their applicability to field sites are limited in time and scale. Many modeling techniques can be applied to bridge these limitations.

In the present work, we clarified the mechanism of how metal-based ionic liquids (MBILs), Bmim[XCln]m (X is the metal atom), enhance the CO2 absorption capacity of ILs via performing molecular dynamics simulations. The sparse hydrogen bond interaction network constructed by CO2 and MBILs was identified through the radial distribution function and interaction energy of CO2-ion pairs, which increase the absorption capacity of CO2 in MBILs. Then, the dynamical properties including residence time and self-diffusion coefficient confirmed that MBILs could also promote the diffusion process of CO2 in ILs. That's to say, the MBILs can enhance the CO2 absorption capacity and the diffusive ability simultaneously. Based on the analysis of structural, energetic and dynamical properties, the CO2 absorption capacity of MBILs increases in the order Cl− → [ZnCl4]2−→ [CuCl4]2−→ [CrCl4]− → [FeCl4]−, revealing the fact that the short metal–Cl bond length and small anion volume could facilitate the performance of CO2 absorbing process.

Multi-component interface engineering is considered an effective means to achieve high-efficiency EMW absorption. However, interface modulation engineering has not been fully discussed and has great potential in the field of EMW absorption. In this study, multi-component tin compound fiber composites based on carbon fiber (CF) substrate were prepared by electrospinning, hydrothermal synthesis, and high-temperature thermal reduction. By utilizing the different properties of different substances, rich heterogeneous interfaces are constructed. This effectively promotes charge transfer and enhances interfacial polarization and conduction loss. The prepared SnS/SnS 2 /SnO 2 /CF composites with abundant heterogeneous interfaces have and exhibit excellent EMW absorption properties at a loading of 50 wt% in epoxy resin.

The unprecedented challenge of global climate change is one that invites a transdisciplinary approach. The challenge of climate change mitigation requires an understanding of multiple disciplines, as well as the role that complexity, post-normal or post-modern science, and uncertainty play in combining these various disciplines. This research followed the general discourse of transdisciplinarity as described by Klein (2014) and Augsburg (2016) which describe it as using transcendence, problem solving, and transgression to address wicked, complex societal problems, and as taught by California School of Transdisciplinarity, where the research focuses on sustainability in the age of post-normal science (Funtowicz & Ravetz, 1993). Through the use of electronic surveys and semi-structured interviews, members of the North American climate change mitigation research community shared their views and understanding of transdisciplinarity (Kvale & Brinkmann, 2009). The data indicate that much of the research currently being conducted by members of the North American CCUS research community is in fact transdisciplinary. What is most intriguing is the manner in which researchers arrived at their current understanding of transdisciplinarity, which is in many cases without any foreknowledge or use of the term transdisciplinary. The data reveals that in many cases the researchers now understand that this transdisciplinary approach is borne out of personal beliefs or emotion, social or societal aspects, their educational process, the way in which they communicate, and in most cases, the CCUS research itself, that require this transdisciplinary approach, but had never thought about giving it a name or understanding its origin or dimensions. Much of this new knowledge has come from the analysis and understanding of the Tier 1, Tier 2 and Emergent traits of the transdisciplinarian.","url":"https://openalex.org/W3012547361","authors":["Steven M.

In order to successfully reverse this trend, many schemes for CO2 mitigation have been proposed, taking into consideration that large-scale decarbonization is still infeasible. At the same time, the projected increase in the share of variable renewables in the future energy mix will necessitate large-scale curtailment of excess energy. Collectively, the above crucial problems can be addressed by the general scheme of CO2 hydrogenation. This refers to the conversion of both captured CO2 and green H2 produced by RES-powered water electrolysis for the production of added-value chemicals and fuels, which are a great alternative to CO2 sequestration and the use of green H2 as a standalone fuel. Indeed, direct utilization of both CO2 and H2 via CO2 hydrogenation offers, on the one hand, the advantage of CO2 valorization instead of its permanent storage, and the direct transformation of otherwise curtailed excess electricity to stable and reliable carriers such as methane and methanol on the other, thereby bypassing the inherent complexities associated with the transformation towards a H2-based economy. In light of the above, herein an overview of the two main CO2 abatement schemes, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU), is firstly presented, focusing on the route of CO2 hydrogenation by green electrolytic hydrogen. Next, the integration of large-scale RES-based H2 production with CO2 capture units on-site industrial point sources for the production of added-value chemicals and energy carriers is contextualized and highlighted. In this regard, a specific reference is made to the so-called Power-to-X schemes, exemplified by the production of synthetic natural gas via the Power-to-Gas route. Lastly, several outlooks towards the future of CO2 hydrogenation are presented.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15134790","authors":["Georgios Varvoutis","Athanasios Lampropoulos","Evridiki Mandela","Michalis Konsolakis","George E.

We considered three electricity generation configurations: grid-connected, wind-connected, and a hybrid configuration. We found net environmental benefits for all configurations and background scenarios for ecosystem damage and climate change. Net human health benefits were observed when the electricity grid decarbonizes quickly and without the use of a battery. The environmental benefits increase with decreasing electricity footprint and are comparable with other DAC technologies.

Maintaining temperature rises below 1.5 °C by the end of the century requires rapid global carbon capture and storage implementation. The successful application of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology in oilfields has become the key to getting rid of this predicament. Foam flooding, as an organic combination of gas and chemical flooding, became popular in the 1950s. Notwithstanding the irreplaceable advantages, as a thermodynamically unstable system, foam's stability has long restricted its development in enhanced oil and gas recovery. With special surface/interface effects and small-size effects, nanoparticles can be used as foam stabilizers to enhance foam stability, thereby improving foam seepage and oil displacement effects in porous media. In this paper, the decay kinetics and the stabilization mechanisms of nanoparticle-reinforced foams were systematically reviewed. The effects of nanoparticle characteristics, including particle concentration, surface wettability, particle size, and type, and reservoir environment factors, including oil, temperature, pressure, and salinity on the foam stabilization ability were analyzed in detail. The seepage and flooding mechanisms of nanoparticle-reinforced foams were summarized as: improving the plugging properties of foams, enhancing the interaction between foams and crude oil, and synergistically adjusting the wettability of reservoir rocks. Finally, the challenges in the practical application of nanoparticle-reinforced foams were highlighted, and the development direction was proposed.

Furthermore, natural hydrogen (H2) production and underground hydrogen storage (UHS) in geological media have emerged as promising technologies for cleaner energy and achieving net–zero emissions. However, selecting a suitable geological storage medium is complex, as it depends on the physicochemical and petrophysical characteristics of the host rock. Solubility is a key factor affecting the above–mentioned processes, and it is critical to understand phase distribution and estimating trapping capacities. This paper conducts a succinct review of predictive techniques and present novel simple and non–iterative predictive models for swift and reliable prediction of solubility behaviors in CO2–brine and H2–brine systems under varying conditions of pressure, temperature, and salinity (T–P–m salts), which are crucial for many geological and energy–related applications. The proposed models predict CO2 solubility in CO2 + H2O and CO2 + brine systems containing mixed salts and various single salt systems (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl−, SO42−) under typical geological conditions (273.15–523.15 K, 0–71 MPa), as well as H2 solubility in H2 + H2O and H2 + brine systems containing NaCl (273.15–630 K, 0–101 MPa). The proposed models are validated against experimental data, with average absolute errors for CO2 solubility in pure water and brine ranging between 8.19 and 8.80% and for H2 solubility in pure water and brine between 4.03 and 9.91%, respectively. These results demonstrate that the models can accurately predict solubility over a wide range of conditions while remaining computationally efficient compared to traditional models. Importantly, the proposed models can reproduce abrupt variations in phase composition during phase transitions and account for the influence of different ions on CO2 solubility. The solubility models accurately capture the salting–out (SO) characteristics of CO2 and H2 gas in various types of salt systems which are consistent with previous studies. The simplified solubility models for CO2 and H2 presented in this study offer significant advantages over conventional approaches, including computational efficiency and accuracy across a wide range of geological conditions. The explicit, derivative–continuous nature of these models eliminates the need for iterative algorithms, making them suitable for integration into large–scale multiphase flow simulations. This work contributes to the field by offering reliable tools for modeling solubility in various subsurface energy and environmental–related applications, facilitating their application in energy transition strategies aimed at reducing carbon emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17225723","authors":["Promise O.

As such, it is important to better understand energy intensity and carbon dioxide emissions of carbon black production. In this work, the furnace black process is studied in detail using process models to provide insights into mass and energy balances, economics, and potential pathways for lowering the environmental impact of carbon black production. Current state-of-the-art carbon black facilities typically flare the tail gas of the carbon black reactor. While low in heating value, this tail gas contains considerable amounts of energy and flaring this tail gas leads to low overall efficiency (39.6%). The efficiency of the furnace black process can be improved if the tail gas is used to produce electricity. However, the high capital investment cost and increased operating costs make it difficult to operate electricity generation from the tail gas economically. Steam co-generation (together with electricity generation) on the other hand is shown to substantially improve energy efficiency as well as economics, provided that steam users are nearby. Steam co-generation can be achieved via back-pressure steam turbines so that the low-pressure exhaust steam (∼2 bar/120 °C) can be used locally for heating or drying purposes. Furthermore, the potential of utilizing hydrogen to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is investigated. Using hydrogen as fuel for the carbon black reactor instead of natural gas is shown to reduce the carbon dioxide footprint by 19%.

To meet the design requirement for standard packed columns, the rich absorption liquid was circulated to the top of the absorber. A capture rate of 50% was selected in this process as a baseline. At higher capture rates, the required energy per tonne of captured CO2 increases and at lower capture rates, the size of equipment, in particular, absorber and blowers increases due to the need for processing a significantly larger volume of air at the given CO2 production volume. At the base case scenario, a reboiler duty of 10.7 GJ/tCO2 and an electrical energy requirement of 1.4 MWh/tCO2 were obtained. The absorber diameter and height obtained were 10.4 and 4.4 m, respectively. The desorber is found to be relatively small at 0.54 m in diameter and 3.0 m in height. A wash water section installed at top of the absorber decreased the MEA loss to 0.28 kg/tonne CO2. However, this increased capital cost by around 60% resulting in CO2 capture costs of $1691 per tonne CO2 for the MEA base scenario. Based on the techno-economic analysis, assuming a non-volatile absorbent rather than MEA thereby avoiding a wash water section, and using an absorption column built from cheaper materials, the estimated cost per tonne of CO2 produced was reduced to $676/tCO2. The overall cost range was between $273 and $1227 per tonne of CO2 depending on different economic parameters In order to reduce the cost further, the use of innovative cheap gas-liquid contactors that operate at lower liquid to gas ratios is crucial.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2020.00092","authors":["Ali Kiani","Kaiqi Jiang","Paul Feron"],"tags":["Reboiler","Volume (thermodynamics)","Tonne","Absorption (acoustics)","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-05-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2020.00092","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W2130428331","name":"Safety of Salt Caverns Used for Underground Storage Blow Out; Mechanical Instability; Seepage; Cavern Abandonment","source":"openalex","abstract":"Thousands of salt caverns (100 in France alone) are being used to store hydrocarbons.

Under the background of carbon neutrality, carbon dioxide injection into geological bodies should pursue the goal of permanent sequestration for effective carbon emission reduction. Hence, CCUS-EOR is an ultimate development method for oil reservoirs to maximize oil recovery. The limit recovery factor of CCUS-EOR development mode is put forward, the connotation differences between it and ultimate recovery factor and economically reasonable recovery factor are clarified. It is concluded that limit recovery factor is achievable with mature supporting technical base for the whole process of CCUS-EOR. Based on statistics of practical data of CO2 flooding projects in China and abroad such as North H79 block CO2 flooding pilot test at small well spacing in Jilin Oilfield etc., the empirical relationship between the oil recovery factor of miscible CO2 flooding and cumulative CO2 volume injected is obtained by regression. Combined with the concept of “oil production rate multiplier of gas flooding, a reservoir engineering method calculating CO2 flooding recovery factor under any miscible degree is established by derivation. It is found that when the cumulative CO2 volume injected is 1.5 times the hydrocarbon pore volume (HCPV), the relative deviation and the absolute difference between the recovery percentage and the limit recovery factor are less than 5% and less than 2.0 percentage points respectively. The limit recovery factor of CCUS-EOR can only be approached by large pore volume (PV) injection based on the technology of expanding swept volume. It needs to be realized from three aspects: large PV injection scheme design, enhancing miscibility degree and continuously expanding swept volume of injected CO2.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s1876-3804(23)60364-7","authors":["Guangzhi Liao","Dongbo He","Gaofeng Wang","Liangang WANG","Zhengmao Wang","Chunmei SU","Qiang Qin","Junhui BAI","Zhanqun HU","Zhi-jia Huang","Jinfang Wang","Shengzhou WANG"],"tags":["Enhanced oil recovery","Carbon sequestration","Petroleum engineering","Environmental science","Flooding (psychology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-12-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s1876-3804(23)60364-7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W3094660556","name":"Novel Carbon Dioxide Utilization Technologies: A Means to an End","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is an essential feature of climate mitigation.

However, the potential of Li–S batteries has not yet been realized because of several technical barriers. Poor electrochemical performance is mainly attributed to the low electrical conductivity of the fully charged and discharged species, the irreversible loss of polysulfide anions and the decrease in the number of electrochemically active reaction sites during battery operation. Here, we report that the introduction of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) into the sulfur cathode dramatically enhanced sulfur/sulfide utilization, yielding high performance. In addition, the GQDs induced structural integrity of the sulfur–carbon electrode composite by oxygen-rich functional groups. This hierarchical architecture enabled fast charge transfer while minimizing the loss of lithium polysulfides, which is attributed to the physicochemical properties of GQDs. The mechanisms through which excellent cycling and rate performance are achieved were thoroughly studied by analyzing capacity versus voltage profiles. Furthermore, experimental observations and theoretical calculations further clarified the role played by GQDs by proving that C–S bonding occurs. Thus, the introduction of GQDs into Li–S batteries will provide an important breakthrough allowing their use as high-performance and low-cost batteries for next-generation energy storage systems. High-capacity cathodes with enhanced stability have been prepared by using graphene quantum dots (GQDs). Lithium–sulphur batteries are considered one of the most promising candidates for future battery systems. However, intermediate compounds readily dissolve into the electrolyte during battery operation, which results in a loss of active materials. A team led by Yung-Eun Sung and Byung Hee Hong of Seoul National University introduced a hierarchical structure with GQDs via wet chemical techniques. Oxygen-rich functional groups of GQDs gave rise to a tightly packed structure between carbon black and sulphur, enabling fast charge transfer. Moreover, experimental observations and theoretical analysis helped to clarify the role of GQDs. In particular, the introduction of GQDs significantly was found to improve cycling performance and rate capability through the formation of carbon–sulphur bonds. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) decorated sulfur–carbon hierarchical structure serve as a high sulfur/sulfide utilization in Li–S battery. The oxygen rich functionalities of the GQDs induced structural integrity of the sulfur–carbon electrode composite. This hierarchical structure enables fast charge transfer, minimizes the loss of soluble polysulfides and completes reaction of sulfur/sulfide.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/am.2016.61","authors":["Jungjin Park","Joonhee Moon","Chunjoong Kim","Jin Hyoun Kang","Eunhak Lim","Jaesung Park","Kyung Jae Lee","Seung‐Ho Yu","Jung‐Hye Seo","Jouhahn Lee","Jiyoung Heo","Nobuo Tanaka"],"tags":["Polysulfide","Materials science","Graphene","Battery (electricity)","Quantum dot"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-05-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/am.2016.61","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W4388769338","name":"MgO-based cements – Current status and opportunities","source":"openalex","abstract":"The cement industry is a major contributor to the anthropogenic CO2 emissions, with about 8% of all emissions coming from this sector. The global cement and concrete association has set a goal to achieve net-zero CO2 concrete by 2050, with 45% of the reduction coming from alternatives to Portland cement, substitution, and carbon capture and utilization/storage (CCU/S) approaches. Magnesia-based cements offer a conceivable solution to this problem due to their potential for low-to-negative CO2 emissions (CCU/S) but also being alternatives to Portland cement. The sources of magnesia can come from magnesium silicates or desalination brines which are carbon free for raw-material-related emissions (cf. carbonated rocks). This opens up possibilities for low or even net-negative carbon emissions. However, research on magnesia-based cements is still in its early stages. In this paper, we summarize the current understanding of different MgO-based cements and their chemistries: magnesia oxysulfate cement, magnesia oxychloride cement, magnesia carbonate cement, and magnesia silicate cement. We also discuss relevant research needed for MgO-based cements and concretes including the issues relating to the low pH of these cements and suitability of steel reinforcement. Alternatives reinforcements, suitable admixtures, and durability studies are the most needed for the further development of MgO-based concretes to achieve a radical CO2 reduction in this industry. Additionally, techno-economic and life cycle assessments are also needed to assess the competition of raw materials and the produced binder or concrete with other solutions.

At the same time, China has taken serious actions to reduce its energy and carbon intensity by setting both a short-term energy intensity reduction goal for 2006 to 2010 as well as a long-term carbon intensity reduction goal for 2020. This study presents a China Energy Outlook through 2050 that assesses the role of energy efficiency policies in transitioning China to a lower emission trajectory and meeting its intensity reduction goals. Over the past few years, LBNL has established and significantly enhanced its China End-Use Energy Model which is based on the diffusion of end-use technologies and other physical drivers of energy demand. This model presents an important new approach for helping understand China's complex and dynamic drivers of energy consumption and implications of energy efficiency policies through scenario analysis. A baseline ('Continued Improvement Scenario') and an alternative energy efficiency scenario ('Accelerated Improvement Scenario') have been developed to assess the impact of actions already taken by the Chinese government as well as planned and potential actions, and to evaluate the potential for China to control energy demand growth and mitigate emissions. In addition, this analysis also evaluated China's long-term domestic energy supply in order to gauge the potential challenge China may face in meeting long-term demand for energy. It is a common belief that China's CO{sub 2} emissions will continue to grow throughout this century and will dominate global emissions. The findings from this research suggest that this will not necessarily be the case because saturation in ownership of appliances, construction of residential and commercial floor area, roadways, railways, fertilizer use, and urbanization will peak around 2030 with slowing population growth. The baseline and alternative scenarios also demonstrate that China's 2020 goals can be met and underscore the significant role that policy-driven energy efficiency improvements will play in carbon mitigation along with a decarbonized power supply through greater renewable and non-fossil fuel generation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/1013068","authors":["Nan Zhou","David Fridley","Michael A.

Through laboratory experiments, technical research and field practice, the theory and technology of CO 2 high pressure miscible flooding and storage are established. By increasing the formation pressure to 1.2 times the minimum miscible pressure, the miscibility of the medium-heavy components can be improved, the production percentage of oil in small pores can be increased, the displacing front developed evenly, and the swept volume expanded. Rapid high-pressure miscibility is realized through advanced pressure flooding and energy replenishment, and technologies of cascade water-alternating-gas (WAG), injection and production coupling and multistage chemical plugging are used for dynamic control of flow resistance, so as to obtain the optimum of oil recovery and CO 2 storage factor.

If stored below the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ), unwanted vertical migration of CO2 can be effectively inhibited by the formation of solid hydrate layers. Lowering the risks of CO2 leakage to the atmosphere is instrumental to accelerate the implementation of full-scale carbon sequestration in the North Sea and elsewhere. In the laboratory, we have successfully visualized CO2 trapping phenomena, measured CO2 leakage rates, and demonstrated that the integrity of the hydrate seal strongly depends on fluid-rock interactions and initial water distribution. CO2 propagation in water-filled core samples has been monitored over a total of 140 days inside the GHSZ. Solid CO2 hydrate formed and sealed the pore space in both homogeneous sandstone and heterogeneous limestone cores. However, the physical flow barrier developed considerably faster in sandstone (after 1.8 pore volumes – PV) compared to limestone (after 7.4 PV), with a factor ten reduced CO2 leakage rate through the seal in favor of sandstone. Furthermore, pore-scale images of upward CO2 migration verified trapping of CO2 both as solid hydrate precipitation and as liquid CO2 clusters made discontinuous and stabilized by capillary forces. Small-scale hydrate rearrangement followed initial formation, and caused temporarily dissociation of local hydrate structures without affecting the overall integrity of the seal. Our study suggests that a homogeneous, water-filled GHSZ directly above a CO2 storage site can provide a secondary safety mechanism and significantly reduce the risk of CO2 leakage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2019.122646","authors":["Jarand Gauteplass","Stian Almenningen","Geir Ersland","Tanja Barth","Jinhai Yang","Antonin Chapoy"],"tags":["Clathrate hydrate","Hydrate","Carbon sequestration","Pore water pressure","Homogeneous"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-08-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2019.122646","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W3012229788","name":"Woody litter protects peat carbon stocks during drought","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-020-0727-y","authors":["Nathalie Fenner","Chris Freeman"],"tags":["Peat","Litter","Carbon stock","Environmental science","Carbon fibers"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-03-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-020-0727-y","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W2960791141","name":"Fundamentals and applications of photocatalytic CO2 methanation","source":"openalex","abstract":"The extraction and combustion of fossil natural gas, consisting primarily of methane, generates vast amounts of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.

In these substances, the carbon atoms can form robust covalent bonds with other carbon atoms or with a vast class of metallic and non-metallic elements, giving rise to an enormous number of compounds from small molecules to long chains to solids. This is one of the reasons why the carbon chemistry is at the basis of the organic chemistry and the biochemistry from which life on earth was born. In this context, the surface chemistry assumes a substantial role dictating the physical and chemical properties of the carbon-based materials. Different functionalities are obtained by bonding carbon atoms with heteroatoms (mainly oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur) determining a certain reactivity of the compound which otherwise is rather weak. This holds for classic materials such as the diamond, the graphite, the carbon black and the porous carbon but functionalization is widely applied also to the carbon nanostructures which came at play mainly in the last two decades. As a matter of fact, nowadays, in addition to fabrication of nano and porous structures, the functionalization of CbMs is at the basis of a number of applications as catalysis, energy conversion, sensing, biomedicine, adsorption etc. This work is dedicated to the modification of the surface chemistry reviewing the different approaches also considering the different macro and nano allotropic forms of carbon.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/c5040084","authors":["G.

This study assessed the challenges and opportunities inherent in using waste high-purity CO2 to produce algae in the United States. The United States’ upper Midwest region is rich in high-purity CO2 from corn ethanol production. However, its climate is not as favorable for algae production as that on the Gulf Coast. This study assessed the tradeoffs between these factors by comparing algae biofuel production with and without high-purity CO2 across these two regions. Monthly algae cultivation was modeled in open ponds co-located with high-purity CO2 sources in the Midwest and along the Gulf Coast, where many steam methane reforming and ammonia production facilities are located. This revealed that, by avoiding the energy-intensive carbon-capture process, an algae site that sources carbon from a high-purity CO2 source would achieve a 9–39% reduction in life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a 9–37% reduction in life-cycle fossil energy use compared to a similar site using dilute CO2 for algae cultivation. The results also suggest that during warm months an algae pond in the Midwest would achieve results that are comparable to GHG emissions from a pond on the Gulf Coast. Furthermore, several Midwest algae ponds investigated in this study create less local water stress than those located along the Gulf Coast. The abundant high-purity CO2 from corn ethanol plants thus creates a potential opportunity for algae cultivation in the Midwest. This study illustrated the interplay between algae productivity, CO2 delivery, GHG emissions, and water stress in siting algae ponds.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2021.128779","authors":["Longwen Ou","Sudhanya Banerjee","Xu Hui","André M.

A gas analysis system was developed to assess the origin of plumes of air enriched in CO2, as to whether CO2 is from a CCS site or from the oxidation of carbon compounds. The system measured CO2 and O2 concentrations for different plume samples relative to background air and calculated the gas differential concentration ratio (GDCR = -ΔO2/ΔCO2). The experimental results were in good agreement with theoretical calculations that placed GDCR values for a CO2 leak at 0.21, compared with GDCR values of 1-1.8 for the combustion of carbon compounds. Although some combustion plume samples deviated in GDCR from theoretical, the very low GDCR values associated with plumes from CO2 leaks provided confidence that this technology holds promise in providing a tool for the early detection of CO2 leaks from CCS sites. IMPLICATIONS: This work contributes to the development of a cost-effective technology for the early detection of leaks from sites where CO2 has been injected into the subsurface to enhance oil recovery or to permanently store the gas as a strategy for mitigating climate change. Such technology will be important in building public confidence regarding the safety and security of carbon capture and storage sites.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10962247.2016.1176084","authors":["Nasrin Mostafavi Pak","Ofelia Rempillo","Ann‐Lise Norman","David B.

Mineralization is often proposed as a method to store carbon and typically involves reacting CO 2 directly with silicate minerals, such as forsterite, to form carbonate minerals. However, this reaction is slow under standard conditions, so that sequestering significant amounts of carbon can take years or decades. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of using a reaction between oxalic acid and forsterite to create stable carbon-bearing oxalate minerals. We performed a series of batch experiments at room temperature and pressure to quantify the forsterite dissolution rate and the efficiency of Mg utilization. Our results show that conversion of forsterite to Mg and Fe oxalate is achieved rapidly: after 30 days, 52% of Mg was converted to Mg oxalate so that 1 t of forsterite can be used to store 177 kg of carbon. Our calculations show that reacting ultramafic mine tailings with oxalic acid has the potential to make a significant contribution toward the global target for CO 2 removal by carbon capture and storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.2c03245","authors":["Roni Grayevsky","Amit Reiss","Simon Emmanuel"],"tags":["Forsterite","Oxalate","Oxalic acid","Carbonate minerals","Carbon fibers"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-12-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.2c03245","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W1988550253","name":"Controls over aboveground forest carbon density on Barro Colorado Island, Panama","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract. Despite the importance of tropical forests to the global carbon cycle, ecological controls over landscape-level variation in live aboveground carbon density (ACD) in tropical forests are poorly understood. Here, we conducted a spatially comprehensive analysis of ACD variation for a continental tropical forest – Barro Colorado Island, Panama (BCI) – and tested site factors that may control such variation. We mapped ACD over 1256 ha of BCI using airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), which was well-correlated with ground-based measurements of ACD in Panamanian forests of various ages (r2 = 0.84, RMSE = 17 Mg C ha−1, P < 0.0001). We used multiple regression to examine controls over LiDAR-derived ACD, including slope angle, forest age, bedrock, and soil texture. Collectively, these variables explained 14 % of the variation in ACD at 30-m resolution, and explained 33 % at 100-m resolution. At all resolutions, slope (linked to underlying bedrock variation) was the strongest driving factor; standing carbon stocks were generally higher on steeper slopes. This result suggests that physiography may be more important in controlling ACD variation in Neotropical forests than currently thought. Although BCI has been largely undisturbed by humans for a century, past land-use over approximately half of the island still influences ACD variation, with younger forests (80–130 years old) averaging ~15 % less carbon storage than old-growth forests (>400 years old). If other regions of relatively old tropical secondary forests also store less carbon aboveground than primary forests, the effects on the global carbon cycle could be substantial and difficult to detect with traditional satellite monitoring.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-8-1615-2011","authors":["Joseph Mascaro","Gregory P.

The way carbon metabolism constrains growth during stress periods (high temperature and water deficit) is now under debate. In this study, the amounts of non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) for xylogenesis in black spruce, Picea mariana, saplings were assessed under high temperature and drought in order to determine the role of sugar mobilization for osmotic purposes and its consequences for secondary growth. METHODS: Four-year-old saplings of black spruce in a greenhouse were subjected to different thermal conditions with respect to the outside air temperature (T0) in 2010 (2 and 5 °C higher than T0) and 2011 (6 °C warmer than T0 during the day or night) with a dry period of about 1 month in June of each year. Wood formation together with starch, NSCs and leaf parameters (water potential and photosynthesis) were monitored from May to September. KEY RESULTS: With the exception of raffinose, the amounts of soluble sugars were not modified in the cambium even if gas exchange and photosynthesis were greatly reduced during drought. Raffinose increased more than pinitol under a pre-dawn water potential of less than -1 Mpa, presumably because this compound is better suited than polyol for replacing water and capturing free radicals, and its degradation into simple sugar is easier. Warming decreased the starch storage in the xylem as well the available hexose pool in the cambium and the xylem, probably because of an increase in respiration. CONCLUSIONS: Radial stem growth was reduced during drought due to the mobilization of NSCs for osmotic purposes and due to the lack of cell turgor. Thus plant water status during wood formation can influence the NSCs available for growth in the cambium and xylem.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcu111","authors":["Annie Deslauriers","Marilène Beaulieu","Lorena Balducci","Alessio Giovannelli","Michel J.

Stimulation of photosynthesis at e[CO2] is always associated with post‐photosynthetic secondary metabolic processes that include carbon and nitrogen metabolism, cell cycle functions, and hormonal regulation.

For instance, the revolutionary emergence of Dirac cones in graphene is particularly hard to find in most of the other 2D materials. As a consequence the crystal symmetries indeed act as a major role for predicting electronic band structure. Since tight binding calculations have become an indispensable tool in electronic band structure calculation, we indicate the implication of such method in graphene's allotropes beyond hexagonal symmetry. It is to be noted that some of these graphene allotropes successfully overcome the inherent drawback of the zero band gap nature of graphene. As a result, these 2D nanomaterials exhibit great potential in a broad spectrum of applications, viz nanoelectronics, nanooptics, gas sensors, gas storages, catalysis, and other specific applications.

Nowadays, a significant amount of usable thermal energy is wasted and not recovered worldwide every year. Meanwhile, discharging the wasted thermal energy often causes environmental hazards. Significant social and ecological impacts will be achieved if waste thermal energy can be effectively harnessed and reused. Hence, this study aims to provide a comprehensive review on the sustainable energy recovery from thermal processes, contributing to achieving energy security, environmental sustainability, and a low-carbon future. Main text To better understand the development of waste thermal energy utilization, this paper reviews the sustainable thermal energy sources and current waste energy recovery technologies, considering both waste heat and cold energy. The main waste heat sources are prime movers, renewable heat energy, and various industrial activities. Different waste heat recovery technologies to produce electricity, heating, and cooling are analyzed based on the types and temperatures of the waste heat sources. The typical purposes for waste heat energy utilization are power generation, spacing cooling, domestic heating, dehumidification, and heat storage. In addition, the performance of different waste heat recovery systems in multigeneration systems is introduced. The cold energy from the liquified natural gas (LNG) regasification process is one of the main waste cold sources. The popular LNG cold energy recovery strategies are power generation, combined cooling and power, air separation, cryogenic CO 2 capture, and cold warehouse. Furthermore, the existing challenges on the waste thermal energy utilization technologies are analyzed. Finally, potential prospects are discussed to provide greater insights for future works on waste thermal energy utilization. Conclusions Novel heat utilization materials and advanced heat recovery cycles are the key factors for the development of waste high-temperature energy utilization. Integrated systems with multiply products show significant application potential in waste thermal energy recovery. In addition, thermal energy storage and transportation are essential for the utilization of harnessed waste heat energy. In contrast, the low recovery rate, low utilization efficiency, and inadequate assessment are the main obstacles for the waste cold energy recovery systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13705-022-00372-2","authors":["Weidong Chen","Zhifeng Huang","K.J.

These phenomena represent an international crisis that negatively impacts human health and the environment. Several studies have reported novel carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, promising solutions. Notable methods include chemical absorption using solvents, and the development of functionalized porous materials, such as MCM-41, impregnated with amines like polyethyleneimine. These technologies have demonstrated high capture capacity and thermal stability; however, they face challenges related to recyclability and high operating costs. In parallel, biodegradable polymers and hydrogels present sustainable alternatives with a lower environmental impact, although their industrial scalability remains limited. This review comprehensively analyzes CO2 capture methods, focusing on silica-based porous supports, polymers, hydrogels, and emerging techniques, like CCUS and MOFs, while including traditional methods and a bibliometric analysis to update the field’s scientific dynamics. With increasing investigations focused on developing new CCUS technologies, this study highlights a growing interest in eco-friendly alternatives. A bibliometric analysis of 903 articles published between 2010 and 2024 provides an overview of current research on environmentally friendly carbon capture technologies. Countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and India are leading research efforts in this field, emphasizing the importance of scientific collaboration. Despite these advancements, implementing these technologies in industrial sectors with high greenhouse gas emissions remains scarce. This underscores the need for public policies and financing to promote their development and application in these sectors. Future research should prioritize materials with high capture capacity, efficient transformation, and valorization of CO2 while promoting circular economy approaches and decarbonizing challenging sectors, such as energy and transportation. Integrating environmentally friendly materials, energy optimization, and sustainable strategies is essential to position these technologies as key tools in the fight against climate change.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules30030563","authors":["Domingo César Carrascal-Hernández","Carlos David Grande‐Tovar","Maximiliano Méndez‐López","Daniel Insuasty","Samira García-Freites","Marco Sanjuán","Edgar Márquez"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Emerging technologies","Environmentally friendly","Environmental science","Fossil fuel"],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules30030563","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.309Z"},{"id":"oa:W4408765668","name":"A novel efficiency-based, tiered carbon storage incentive approach for CCUS through CO2 enhanced oil recovery and storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) through CO 2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (CO 2 -EOR) supports energy production while reducing atmospheric CO 2 emissions. Economic profitability, not environmental effectiveness, typically drives operators’ decisions. The objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between economic and environmental benefits under various flood designs (continuous CO 2 injection and Water-Alternating-Gas (CO 2 -WAG) injection scenarios) and economic conditions, proposing operational and policy solutions to simultaneously optimize both. Net CO 2 emissions and Net Present Value (NPV) serve as indicators of environmental and economic outcomes, respectively. We integrate a reservoir simulation, a life cycle emissions analysis, and an economic model. Results show that continuous CO 2 injection maximizes environmental benefits. Without carbon storage incentives, economic and environmental gains are misaligned, with operators favoring practices that maximize net CO 2 emissions. A dynamic breakeven carbon storage incentive, sensitive to oil prices and CO 2 acquisition costs, is essential for alignment. Incentives below breakeven improve economic profitability with limited environmental gains. Operator responsibility for mitigating climate change, along with CO 2 availability, also influences this alignment. Uniform incentive systems, such as the 45Q tax credit system in the U.S., present challenges, often requiring unrealistically high incentives and tying total incentives to the volume of net CO 2 stored, rather than the actual environmental impact. To address these issues, we propose a novel alternative tiered, performance-based metric that directly links incentives to environmental outcomes through storage efficiency, defined as the amount of CO₂ effectively stored after accounting for upstream, gate-to-gate, and downstream emissions per barrel of oil produced.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2025.104362","authors":["Abouzar Mirzaei‐Paiaman","Larry W.

We studied the resource utilization, metabolism, and tissue storage of CWC Lophelia pertusa during an experimentally simulated 3‐day food pulse, of 13C15N‐enriched phytodetritus, followed by a 4‐week food deprivation. Oxygen consumption (0.145 μmol O2 [mmol organic carbon {OC}]−1 h−1), release of particulate organic matter (0.029 μmol particulate organic carbon [POC] [mmol OC]−1 h−1 and 0.005 μmol particulate organic nitrogen [mmol OC]−1 h−1), ammonium excretion (0.004 μmol NH4+ [mmol OC]−1 h−1), tissue C and N content, and fatty acid (FA) and amino acid composition did not change significantly during the experiment. Metabolization of the labeled phytodetritus, however, underwent distinct temporal dynamics. Initially, L. pertusa preferentially used phytodetritus‐derived C for respiration (2.2 ± 0.36 nmol C [mmol OC]−1 h−1) and mucus production (0.94 ± 0.52 nmol C [mmol OC]−1 h−1), but those tracer fluxes declined exponentially to <20% within 2 weeks after feeding and then remained stable, indicating that the remainder of the incorporated phytodetritus had entered a tissue pool with lower turnover. Analysis of 13C in individual FAs revealed a mismatch between the FAs incorporated from phytodetritus and the FA requirements of the coral. We suggest that feeding on other resources, such as lipid‐rich zooplankton, could fill this deficiency. A release of 10% of their total OC as respired C and POC during the 4‐week food deprivation underlines the importance of regular food pulses for CWC reefs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/lno.11142","authors":["Sandra R.

Because of the transition to a clean fuel, such as hydrogen or ammonia, the main modifications will lie with the combustor. It can be expected that small and medium-sized gas turbines will burn fewer inferior fuels, and the scope of cogeneration activities they are used for will be expanded. Industrial gas turbine cycles including CCGT appropriate for the carbon-neutral era are surveyed from the viewpoint of thermodynamics. The use of clean fuels and carbon capture and storage (CCS) will inevitably increase the unit cost of power generation. Therefore, the first objective is to present thermodynamic cycles that fulfil these requirements, as well as their verification tests. One conclusion is that it is necessary to realize the oxy-fuel cycle as a method to utilize carbon-heavy fuels and biomass and not generate NOx from hydrogen combustion at high temperatures. The second objective of the authors is to show the required morphology of the cooling structures in airfoils, which enable industrial gas turbines with a higher efficiency. In order to achieve this, a survey of the historical development of the existing cooling methods is presented first. CastCool® and wafer and diffusion bonding blades are discussed as turbine cooling technologies applicable to future GTs. Based on these, new designs already under development are shown. Most of the impetus comes from the development of aviation airfoils, which can be more readily applied to industrial gas turbines because the operation will become more similar. Double-wall cooling (DWC) blades can be considered for these future industrial gas turbines. It will be possible in the near future to fabricate the DWC structures desired by turbine cooling designers using additive manufacturing (AM). Another conclusion is that additively manufactured DWC is the best cooling technique for these future gas turbines. However, at present, research in this field and the data generated are scattered, and it is not yet possible for heat transfer designers to fabricate cooling structures with the desired accuracy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijtpp8030019","authors":["Kenichiro Takeishi","Robert Krewinkel"],"tags":["Industrial gas","Cogeneration","Combustor","Combined cycle","Process engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-06-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijtpp8030019","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"oa:W4295750631","name":"Sustainable lignin precursors for tailored porous carbon-based supercapacitor electrodes","source":"openalex","abstract":"Sustainable materials are attracting a lot of attention since they will be critical in the creation of the next generation of products and devices.

This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and harmful material extraction and assist the development of green technologies. The progress achieved in the previous 10 years in the fabrication of novel carbon-based NMs utilizing waste materials as well as natural precursors is reviewed in this article. Research on carbon-based NPs and their production using naturally occurring precursors and waste materials focuses on this review research. Water treatment and purification using carbon NMs, notably for industrial and pharmaceutical wastes, has shown significant potential. Research in this area focuses on enhanced carbonaceous NMs, methods, and novel nano-sorbents for wastewater, drinking water, groundwater treatment, as well as ionic metal removal from aqueous environments. Discussed are the latest developments and challenges in environmentally friendly carbon and graphene quantum dot NMs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/inorganics10100169","authors":["Vishal Dutta","Ritesh Verma","C.

New instrumental approaches have shown the occurrence of localized and intermittent subduction episodes associated with small‐scale ocean circulation features. These studies also revealed the importance of such events for the export of organic matter, the so‐called eddy‐pump . However, the transient and localized nature of episodic subduction hindered its large‐scale evaluation to date. In this work, we present an approach to detect subduction events at the scale of the Southern Ocean using measurements collected by biogeochemical autonomous floats (BGCArgo). We show how subduction events can be automatically identified as anomalies of spiciness and Apparent Oxygen Utilization (AOU) below the mixed layer. Using this methodology over more than 4,000 profiles, we detected 40 subduction events unevenly distributed across the Sothern Ocean. Events were more likely found in hot spots of eddy kinetic energy (EKE), downstream major bathymetric features. Moreover, the bio‐optical measurements provided by BGCArgo allowed measuring the amount of Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) being subducted and assessing the contribution of these events to the total downward carbon flux at 100 m (EP100). We estimated that the eddy‐pump represents less than 19% to the EP100 in the Southern Ocean, although we observed particularly strong events able to locally duplicate the EP100. This approach provides a novel perspective on where episodic subduction occurs that will be naturally improved as BGCArgo observations continue to increase.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2017jc012861","authors":["Joan Llort","Clothilde Langlais","Richard J.

The proximity of fjords to the terrestrial environment in combination with their geomorphology and hydrography results in the fjordic sediments being subsidized with organic carbon (OC) from the terrestrial environment. It has been well documented that terrestrial OC (OCterr) is an important component of coastal sediments, yet our understanding of the quantity of OCterr stored in these sediments remains poorly constrained. Utilizing Bayesian isotopic sediment fingerprinting techniques to the surface sediments of Loch Sunart, we estimate that 42.0 ± 10.1% of the OC is terrestrial in origin. Through combining these outputs with sedimentary OC stock estimates, we have calculated that the surface sediments (0–15 cm) hold 0.1 megaton (Mt) OCterr and estimate that the postglacial sediment held within the fjord contains 3.96 Mt OCterr. When these totals are compared to the quantity of OC stored in the adjacent terrestrial environment, it is clear that the fjord's catchment stores a greater amount of OCterr in the form of vegetation and soil. Though when normalized for area the results suggest that the marine sediments are a more effective long‐term store of OCterr than the adjacent terrestrial environment. This striking result highlights the importance of the terrestrial environment as a source of OC to the coastal ocean and that the OCterr subsidy to the marine sediments is a significant mechanism for the long‐term storage of OC in coastal marine sediments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2017jg003952","authors":["Craig Smeaton","William E.

In Trondheim (Norway), this mismatch leads to summer heat rejection and winter dependence on auxiliary units, particularly electric boilers. This study investigates whether combining post-combustion carbon capture and storage with seasonal thermal energy storage can reduce net CO2 emissions and use excess summer heat in the DH network. Hourly simulations were performed in EnergyPLAN, where a reference energy system for Trondheim was compared with a future transition configuration. The future transition energy system considers a case in which excess heat from summer waste incineration is stored and later used to supply winter heat. It includes a CCS retrofit of the waste incineration plant in Trondheim with a 90% capture rate applied, a pit-based STES, and expanded variable-renewable energy generation. The assessment includes DH technology dispatch, electricity exchange behaviour, renewable energy shares, and annual CO2 emissions. The results show that the combined CCS–STES configuration enables inter-seasonal heat shifting from summer to winter and reduces dependence on auxiliary DH supply. Approximately 0.16 TWh of heat becomes available for storage while the annual auxiliary-source contribution to DH decreases from 0.20 TWh/yr in the reference scenario to 0.18 TWh/yr in the future scenario. Importantly, the results indicate that CCS–STES deployment can enable municipal WtE systems to contribute to seasonal heat balancing within DH-integrated energy systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.7087497","authors":["Shivaraj Chandrakant Patil","Karen  Byskov Lindberg","Magnus Korpås"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-09T15:44:21Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.7087497","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-444-64309-4.00017-9","name":"Biomass energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-444-64309-4.00017-9","authors":["Arti Mishra","Manish Kumar","Kristina Medhi","Indu Shekhar Thakur"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-07-24T07:37:46Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-444-64309-4.00017-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1533/9780857096067.3.685","name":"Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture and storage for gas turbine systems","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1533/9780857096067.3.685","authors":["C.D.

To achieve a sustainable oil and gas production by reducing greenhouse gasses (GHG) through flaring reduction innovations comprising gas purification and carbon capture that utilizes the associated gas as a viable compressed natural gas (CNG) and enhanced the oil recovery. Natural gas linked with crude oil (CH4 dominated) is processed in two units. The first one is a gas purification unit where natural gas is purified in compressor, Acid Gas Removal Unit (AGRU), dehydration unit, and hydrocarbon recovery producing viable CNG. In the flaring unit gas is burned converting the CH4 to CO2. Flared gas is captured in a Carbon Capture Storage (CCS). Furthermore, CO2 is centralized in the EOR-System to be injected into the reservoir as CO2-EOR by interacting with oil causing oil to swell and reduce its viscosity leading to oil flow easier through the pores. This research elucidates that CAGAR could produce 2,970 mmbtu/d of CNG. Beside producing profitable products, CAGAR also boosted oil production by adding an extra 21,369.6 bbl/d oil recovery.

Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) emerges as a pivotal strategy for CO 2 reduction in the power sector, particularly focusing on the overlooked domain of offshore storage along China's east coast. In spite of the potential high costs, irreversible investments, and lengthy development, offshore storage can still be prospective. Considering autonomous decision-making among emission sources, this study pioneers a CO 2 offshore storage investment decision model tailored for coal-fired and gas-fired power plants. Innovating an offshore storage source-sink matching model with a real options model and introducing a pipeline network optimization model allows a realistic source-sink matching strategy to be explored under optimal investment timing. According to the results, among 154 large stationary emission sources in Zhejiang Province, offshore storage could reduce CO 2 emissions by 4.59 Gt, utilizing the Qiantang, Minjiang, and Fuzhou depressions. It is economically feasible to implement offshore storage with a whole-process unit cost of 368.8 CNY/t CO2 , mainly dominated by capture costs.

However a large amount of these plants are far away from deep sedimentary basins and therefore alternative solutions have to be sought. Detailed computer simulation, using compositional numerical model software CMG-GEMGHG, was used to study the effects of aquifer anisotropy (heterogeneity), well completion technique (perforation and well orientation), brine production and injection rates on CO2 injectivity, and capability to retain and store reasonably large amount of CO2 for an extended period of time. The objective of this study is to find the optimal combination of operational parameters (injection rates, well completion techniques and brine withdrawal strategy), and how the interplay of these parameters with aquifer anisotropy (heterogeneity) affects, and can be manipulated to optimally harness CO2 storage potential and leakage risk mitigation in shallow saline aquifers. Injected CO2 exists in three main forms in the aquifer, supercritical, dissolved and aqueous forms with amount depending largely on prevailing formation pressure and the depth of well placement. Without brine withdrawal, horizontal injector wells with the vertical sections closed have higher CO2 injectivity compared to vertical and deviated wells with bottom half perforated. With brine withdrawal more CO2 was injected and anisotropy (heterogeneity) (Kv/Kh ratio) has significant effect on CO2 injectivity, but well perforation and orientation has negligible effect, except for an extended (85 years) injection period when aquifer pressure has reached the maximum allowable. The impact of anisotropy (heterogeneity) on CO2 injectivity was observed to decrease with increase on injection rate for injection well placed in uppermost layers. This study shows CO2 sequestration in shallow saline aquifer has significant potential. Results from this study can potentially provide guideline for well completion technique, injection rate and brine withdrawal strategy, depending on aquifer properties, that can be applied in CO2 sequestration in shallow saline aquifer.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139583-ms","authors":["O.

By 2045, the country seeks to achieve climate neutrality. As an intermediate step, the government has determined emission thresholds for different economic sectors through the year 2030. The industrial sector has so far not been a frontrunner in Germany s emission reduction efforts. Much of the country s success in this context is owed to the successful ramp-up of renewables in the electricity sector. For German industries, this means that they have little time left to undergo a substantial climate-friendly transformation by 2030. But how can this be achieved? This chapter introduces five different building blocks of Germany s climate strategy for its emission-intensive industrial sector: (1) The expansion of renewable energy for electricity production; (2) electrification and energy efficiency improvements; (3) the establishment of a green hydrogen economy; (4) the transformation towards a circular economy; and lastly (5) carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture and utilization (CCU). In an in-depth case study, the chapter reviews the particular role of CCU as a strategic component, discussing its potential as a climate strategy, its regulatory and legal framework, as well as insights on the broader societal acceptance of this technological approach.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003167693-15","authors":["Sonja Thielges","Kristina Fürst"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-14T16:43:14Z","doi":"10.1201/9781003167693-15","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2118/139524-ms","name":"Experimental and Numerical Simulation of CO2 Injection Into Upper-Triassic Sandstones in Svalbard, Norway","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Sequestration of carbon dioxide in a saline aquifer is currently being evaluated as a possible way to handle carbon dioxide emitted from a coal-fuelled power plant in Svalbard. The chosen reservoir is a 300 m thick, laterally extensive, shallow marine formation of late Triassic-mid Jurassic age, located below Longyearbyen in Svalbard. The reservoir consists of 300 m of alternating sandstone and shale and is capped by 400 meter shale. Experimental and numerical studies have been performed to evaluate CO2 storage capacity and long term behaviour of the injected CO2 in rock pore space. Laboratory core flooding experiments were conducted during which air was injected into brine saturated cores at standard conditions. Analysis of the results shows that the permeability is generally less than 2 millidarcies and the capillary entry pressure is high. For most samples, no gas flow was detected in the presence of brine, when employing a reasonable pressure gradient. This poses a serious challenge with respect to achieving viable levels of injectivity and injection pressure. A conceptual numerical simulation of CO2 injection into a segment of the planned reservoir was performed using commercial reservoir simulation software and available petrophysical data. The results show that injection using vertical wells yields the same injectivity but more increases in field pressure compare to injection through horizontal wells. In order to keep induced pressure below top-seal fracturation pressure and preventing the fast propagation and migration of CO2 plume, slow injection through several horizontal wells into the lower part of the \"high\" permeability beds appears to offer the best solution. The high capillary pressure causes slow migration of the CO2 plume, and regional groundwater flow provides fresh brine for CO2 dissolution. In our simulations, half of the CO2 was dissolved in brine and the other half dispersed within a radius of 1000 meter from the wells after 4000 years. Dissolution of CO2 in brine and lateral convective mixing from CO2 saturated brine to surrounding fresh brine are the dominant mechanisms for CO2 storage in this specific site and this guarantees that the CO2 plume will be stationary for thousands of years.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139524-ms","authors":["R.

However, recent climate litigation has started to focus on the responsibility of non-state actors, which should ideally be informed by quantitative fair share assessments. Here, we explore a case study of large investor-owned carbon majors, which were responsible for 24% of global fossil CO2 emissions between 1990 and 2018. Drawing on commonly invoked principles of climate justice, we suggest that large investor-owned &amp;#8220;carbon majors&amp;#8221; should be assigned Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) investment responsibilities. This responsibility is in addition to their primary responsibility to adopt a stringent decarbonisation trajectory consistent with the Paris Agreement objectives. DACCS is a potentially important component of mitigation portfolios consistent with global climate objectives and has a low land footprint relative to other carbon dioxide removal options. However, DACCS is in its formative phase, the early and expensive stage of technology deployment. Significant near-term investments are necessary to buy-down the cost of the technology so that it can play a cost-efficient role in future mitigation. We assess the level of investments necessary to move DACCS out of its niche phase (32 billion USD central estimate, with interquartile range 6 &amp;#8211; 92 billion USD). Beyond that, about 250 billion USD in investments (central estimate, interquartile range 135 &amp;#8211; 313 billion USD) may be required to buy-down the costs to 100 USD / tonne of CO2 captured. We assign responsibilities for this deployment to investor-owned carbon majors, finding that the ten highest emitting carbon majors should bear responsibility for around 17 billion USD (central estimate) in investments to contribute to moving DACCS out of its formative phase. When we also account for the buy-down cost to achieve the 100 USD/tonne goal, the scale of this responsibility may double if these company emissions grow at the same rate as global stated policies. Adopting a decarbonisation trajectory in line with a net zero emissions scenario significantly reduces this ongoing responsibility, reiterating the importance of robust company-level strategies aligned with the 1.5&amp;#176;C warming limit of the Paris Agreement.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu25-18077","authors":["Dalia Kellou","Yoga Pratama","Cristian Zuniga","Firza Riany","Matthew J.

Effective capture of CO2 facilitates the resolution of this problem. This paper provides a novel and simple method to capture and store CO2 as carbonic acid in polymer complexes by combining an acid-base reaction and electrostatic ion exchange. This method is energy-savings without heating and a long reaction time and uses harmless polymers containing no metals except Na. A polymer supporting 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, a hindered amine, captured carbonic acid in water by introducing gaseous CO2. The polymer containing the tetramethylpiperidinium bicarbonate produced insoluble complexes with poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) through their ion exchange. The complexes with a low-molecular-weight PSS were reversibly dissociated by introducing N2, whereas those with a high-molecular-weight PSS stored the carbonic acid in their tight structures. The complexes in an aqueous methanol solution were irreversible, being independent of the PSS chain length. The PSS chain length produced a difference in the morphology of the complex aggregates; the short PSS produced linear and rigid aggregates with a ribbon-like morphology. In contrast, the long PSS provided aggregates with a planar morphology. These findings indicated that the capture and storage of carbonic acid in the polymer complexes are helpful not only in preserving the marine ecosystem from ocean acidification, but also in creating new materials composed of carbonic acid.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2022.100038","authors":["Eri Yoshida"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-02-22T02:04:36Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2022.100038","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-99-2890-3_7","name":"Carbon Dioxide Capture and Bioenergy Production by Utilizing the Biological System","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-2890-3_7","authors":["R.

A new model, ReacSan, is developed to simulate CO₂ transport and carbonation reactions within the evolving microstructure of the geopolymer under GCS-relevant conditions.

The experimentally observed rapid carbonation, leading to a decrease in pore fluid pH and the precipitation of CaCO₃ matched the numerical simulations well, demonstrating the ability of the novel ReacSan framework to capture both temporal and spatial variations in the microstructure and carbonation mechanisms of alkali-activated materials (AAMs) exposed to supercritical CO₂.

Batch experiments show that the dolerite exhibits the highest elemental release, followed by the gabbro and metabasalt. Dissolution in dolerite is primarily controlled by olivine and augite, with contributions from labradorite, whereas gabbro dissolution is dominated by augite followed by plagioclase. In the metabasalt, element release reflects contributions from multiple phases, including pyroxene, chlorite, prehnite, and oligoclase, without a single dominant phase. These patterns are consistent with incongruent dissolution during early water-rock interaction. Carbonation experiments indicate the formation of secondary carbon-bearing phases in all samples. Elevated Fe-rich precipitation suggests conditions favorable for Fe-carbonate formation, while thermogravimetric analysis supports the presence of hydrated Mg carbonates as well as Fe- and Ca-bearing carbonates. These results demonstrate favorable dissolution behavior and potential for carbon mineralization, supporting further evaluation of the investigated lithologies. Reactivity is primarily controlled by the availability of reactive primary minerals and the degree of alteration.

Estimating the flux of CO2 along a leaking wellbore requires a model of fluid properties and of transport along the leakage pathway. Wells that exhibit sustained casing pressure (SCP) in an intermediate annulus have a leakage path along a cement/steel interface, or within the cement in the annulus. The former path is analogous to a leakage path along a cement/earth interface outside the casing. The latter path can occur in cement outside the casing. Thus the likely magnitude of the permeability of leakage paths outside the well can be estimated from the permeability of these analog paths. A sustained casing pressure (SCP) model yields information about effective permeability of the pathway. By choosing reasonable ranges for other well construction parameters, we apply the SCP model to obtain a range of effective permeabilities for a well based on a measured casing pressure build up history. We illustrate the approach with several field examples. For a relatively slow pressure build up (several psi/day), the permeability of the leakage path is in the range of microdarcy to hundreds of microdarcy. Fast pressure build up (thousands psi/day) indicates permeabilities in the range of tens of millidarcy to hundreds of millidarcy. To account for the uncertainty in wellbore construction parameters, we calculate the distribution of effective permeability of a leaky well using Monte-Carlo simulation. The resulting permeability shows an approximately log-normal distribution skewed toward the maximum possible value. The expected value and a confidence interval are obtained for each well, which represents the most probable permeability of the well for a given pressure build up. For the wells studied here the expected values range from 10 microdarcy to 100 millidarcy. The expected leakage path permeability correlates reasonably well with pressure build up rate. This is to be expected from Darcy’s law, and thus a strong correlation between leakage path permeability and other characteristics of the wells in this sample does not exist. Obtaining the statistics of the expected leakage path permeability will thus require more observations of SCP wells. The effective permeability of a leaky well is essential in calculating the CO2 leakage flux. Under the assumption that a leaky well encountered by a CO2 plume has a leakage pathway with the similar properties to an SCP well, we calculate the CO2 flux for the best, worst and most probable scenarios for the example wells. In the most probable scenario of CO2 flux, we calculate the expected CO2 leakage rate. Slow leakage yields a 0.1 kg/y CO2 rate while fast leakage could have a rate of 1000 kg/y.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139576-ms","authors":["Qing Tao","Dean Checkai","Steven L.

Ensuring long-term wells integrity of existing Plug and Abandonment (P&amp;A) and active wells that penetrated the selected CO2 storage reservoir is the key to reduce leakage risks along the wellpath for long-term containment sustainability. Development wells in the identified depleted gas field are more than 30-40 years old and were not designed with any consideration of high CO2 concentration in the reservoir. Possibility of leakage along the wellbores due to accelerated corrosion, channeling, cracks, cannot be ignored and requires careful evaluation. Rigorous process has been adopted in assessing the feasibility for converting existing producers into CO2 injector. Wells disparity between the required defined basis of designs for gas producer and CO2 injection wells governs the re-usability for CO2 injection or needs to be abandoned. New three (3) CO2 injectors with fat to slim design approach, corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) material and CO2 resistant cement are designed in view to achieve lifecycle integrity. Optimum angle of 60deg and maintaining the injection pressure of 50 bar at 90MSCFD rate is required for the injection of supercritical CO2 for 25 years. On top, during well execution, challenges such as anti-collision risk, total loss scenarios while drilling in Carbonate reservoir needs to be mitigated. The completion design is also focusing on having minimal number of completion jewelries to reduce pressure differential &amp; potential leak paths all the way from tubing hangar down to the end of lower completion. Well design optimization from fat to slim has been carried out based on WellCat sensitivity analysis output. Well integrity life cycle monitoring using in country value latest generation fiber optic as well as acquiring seismic for CO2 plume development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/209884-ms","authors":["Mahesh S Picha","Anil Chuttani"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-08-08T00:07:09Z","doi":"10.2118/209884-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1533/9781845699581.3.344","name":"Environmental risks and performance assessment of carbon dioxide (CO2) leakage in marine ecosystems","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1533/9781845699581.3.344","authors":["J.

To be able to asses the potential of a storage site using reservoir simulators, it is necessary to include all of the possible trapping mechanisms in the numerical algorithms. Currently, four trapping mechanisms are identified in the CO2 sequestration literature: structural, residual, dissolution, and mineralization. Although capillary pressure hysteresis has been accounted for in the historical development of simulators, it has not been recognized as a process for hindering movement of the injected CO2. Capillary pressure hysteresis reduces the buoyancy driven plume movement significantly compared to relative permeability hysteresis; but it is the latter that has been emphasized in the published literature. In this paper, we focus on a quantitative measure for the contribution of hysteresis in reducing plume transport. Rocks with large pore body to throat size ratio are the best candidates for this mechanism to be operative. In the present work, a self-consistent relative-permeability capillary-pressure hysteresis model is incorporated within a simulator. With this model, it is possible to compare and contrast hysteresis induced retardation to other mechanisms of trapping. The self-consistent parametrization of all of the transport properties is used to quantify sensitivity compactly. The sensitivity of the CO2 plume shape and the amount of CO2 trapped, to the strength of the capillary pressure hysteresis, is also described. Simulated results show that CO2 plume shape with and without capillary pressure hysteresis are significantly different. As expected, capillary pressure hysteresis retards the buoyant transport of the CO2 plume. Although a portion of the CO2 is connected, and therefore not residual, the plume remains immobile for all practical purposes. Also, due to decreased driving potential, gravity tonguing below the caprock is reduced in comparison to the case without capillary pressure hysteresis, thus suggesting enhanced storage efficiency. However, the total dissolution of CO2 in saline water is reduced because of the reduced diffusive transport of CO2 within the brine. Thus, one mechanism of containment is offset by the other. Inclusion of accurate hysteresis models is important for qualifying storage sites constrained by spatial domain limits. It is anticipated that site acceptability criteria would change as a result of this study, thus impacting risk evaluation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/139641-ms","authors":["Y. B. Altundas","T.

These are based (i) on the use of fossil fuels and current chemical processes and infrastructure coupled with carbon capture and storage (CCS route), (ii) on the use of captured CO2 as a feedstock together with “green” hydrogen in new chemical processes (CCU route), (iii) on the use of biomass grown and processed for the specific purpose of making chemicals (BIO route). All routes are feasible and have different pros and cons. Such pros and cons are first discussed through a qualitative comparison of the three routes for a generic chemical product, and are then quantitatively assessed for the specific case of methanol production. In this case, the CCU route results in an electricity consumption 10 to 25 times higher than that of the CCS and BIO routes (excluding the electricity required for heat production), mostly due to the electricity required to produce hydrogen. At the same time, the BIO route requires a land capacity about 40 and 400 times higher than that required by the CCU and CCS routes, respectively. Furthermore, when considering a net-positive-CO2 emissions world, the CO2 emissions of the CCU route grow about 8 to 10 times faster than that of the CCS and BIO routes. On the one hand, we identify key hurdles in all cases. These are (i) the availability, accessibility, and acceptance of CO2 storage sites for the CCS route, together with the continued use of fossil fuels; (ii) the very high electricity and energy demand for the CCU route, with the associated strict requirement of very low carbon-intensity of the electricity mix; (iii) the very high availability of land for biomass growth in the case of the BIO route, with the associated risks of conflict with other uses. On the other hand, we underline that the CCS route offers the possibility of using existing technologies and infrastructures, without the need of a complete reshaping of the chemical industry, and of permanently removing CO2 from the atmosphere, hence representing a key element not only in the net-zero-CO2 emissions world studied here, but also in a net-negative-CO2 emissions world.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.9b06579","authors":["Paolo Gabrielli","Matteo Gazzani","Marco Mazzotti"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-03-04T14:55:21Z","doi":"10.1021/acs.iecr.9b06579","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4236/lce.2026.172004","name":"Evaluation of Technological Progress, Obstacles, and Resolutions in Carbon Capture and Storage within the Oil and Gas Sector","source":"crossref","abstract":"Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology has surfaced as an indispensable instrument for curbing carbon emissions within the Oil and Gas (O&G) sector, particularly in response to global climate change’s escalating concerns.

A key opportunity to replace fossil fuels across sectors is the use of renewable hydrogen. In this context, the main political and social push is currently on climate neutral hydrogen (H2) production through electrolysis using renewable electricity. Another climate neutral possibility that has recently gained importance is biohydrogen production from biogenic residual and waste materials. This paper introduces for the first time a novel concept for the production of hydrogen with net negative emissions. The derived concept combines biohydrogen production using biotechnological or thermochemical processes with carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage. Various process combinations referred to this basic approach are defined as HyBECCS (Hydrogen Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage) and described in this paper. The technical principles and resulting advantages of the novel concept are systematically derived and compared with other Negative Emission Technologies (NET). These include the high concentration and purity of the CO2 to be captured compared to Direct Air Carbon Capture (DAC) and Post-combustion Carbon Capture (PCC) as well as the emission-free use of hydrogen resulting in a higher possible CO2 capture rate compared to hydrocarbon-based biofuels generated with Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) technologies. Further, the role of carbon-negative hydrogen in future energy systems is analyzed, taking into account key societal and technological drivers against the background of climate adaptation and mitigation. For this purpose, taking the example of the Federal Republic of Germany, the ecological impacts are estimated, and an economic assessment is made.

Both carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) and carbon capture and storage (CCS), capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from heavy industries and air, by direct air capture (DAC), and transport it to sites by rail, boat, or pipeline for injection into geological reservoirs for permanent storage and/or enhanced oil recovery (EOR). A range of issues related to mineral scale deposition can be encountered that impact the efficiency of CO2 injection and utilisation/storage. These can include calcium carbonate deposition during CO2 capture in a calcium looping process, halite (NaCl) precipitation during supercritical dry CO2 injection and CO2 leakage due to the dissolution of carbonate cements and minerals in reservoir rocks which impact both cement and reservoir rock integrity. During CO2 utilisation for EOR, downhole and topside calcium carbonate deposition can occur in the production facilities. Effective scale management strategies are essential to maintain a safe, sustainable, and efficient CCUS process. It will also be necessary to minimise CO2 footprint during the whole lifecycle by making it less energy demanding. Scale control can be based on continuous scale inhibitor injection or squeeze treatments. Additionally, for wellbore integrity and to better isolate the well from the formation, sulphate scale may deliberately be deposited to provide extra strength to cements impacted by contact with CO2. This intentional precipitation of sulphate minerals needs special attention to be paid to ensure precipitation in the correct location. This involves consideration of pumping equipment, well completion, and rock type as they impact the deployment process to control the location, rate and mass of sulphate mineral deposition. This paper reviews the scale issues arising during CCUS including calcium carbonate deposition during carbon capture, halite and microbial induced calcium carbonate deposition during CO2 injection.

While all three options must be used in concert, this chapter focuses on CCS because the CCS option is very compatible with the large energy production and delivery infrastructure now in place (MIT 2012). For the foreseeable future, fossil fuels will continue to be the world’s most reliable and lowest-cost form of energy (USDOS 2010). Global energy models suggest that with current global coal use patterns, it will not be possible to stabilize atmospheric GHG concentrations at acceptable levels. Therefore, it is necessary to make major reductions in GHG emissions. The EU, for example, wants to set a target of halving carbon emissions by 2050 in order to keep the rise in global temperature below 2°C. If the temperature increases more than this, it may trigger runaway climate change, i.e., temperatures could easily rise another 2°C, which would be a catastrophe to all living beings. Therefore, to mitigate climate changes, we must aggressively pursue CCS from fossil fuel power plants, other industries, and places where CCS technology can be used.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1061/9780784412718.ch20","authors":["Tian C.

Such a procedure is commonly referred to as decommissioning and it is a complex, multi-step process that is expensive, with costs even higher for offshore and deep-water fields and wells. At the same time as increasing numbers of oil and gas assets are reaching their end-of-life and need to be decommissioned, governments world-wide are committing to reach a net zero target for CO2 emissions in the coming decades. With these two concurrent commitments there is now the opportunity to evaluate the potential for re-use of those to-be-decommissioned wells and fields for the use of CO2 injection and storage, commonly referred to as CCS or carbon capture and storage. Re-using wells and fields for CO2 injection provides not only potential cost saving benefits but also promises to reduce the time required for developing the necessary CCS infrastructure because much of it will already be in place. The process of converting hydrocarbon wells to CO2 storage wells has been considered in several planned projects, including the P18-4 depleted gas field near the coast of Rotterdam, part of the wider Porthos project, and Peterhead project in the North Sea (Arts et al., 2012; Marshal et al., 2018). Other inherent advantages to re-use include the availability of rich datasets of downhole measurements including logs, core samples and any subsequent lab analysis, and also in-depth field understanding based on potentially multiple well operations. The operators also have the possibility of turning decommissioned wells into a source of profits, or at least covering decommissioning costs, by selling CO2 storage capacity to others. However, the process for facilitating re-use of wells for injection of CO2, even into a saline aquifer, is far from a simple process of reverse engineering typical oil and gas production practices because there are a number of factors to consider. These include both geological, including reservoir pressure and seal capacity, and engineering not only from a well construction and integrity process but also reservoir engineering and the feasibility of a reservoir to accept the volume and rates of CO2 required to make economic sense for either a new field CCS site or in a re-use case.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4043/32416-ms","authors":["Edward Michael Hoskin","Jakob Heller"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-04-23T20:21:49Z","doi":"10.4043/32416-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.est.6b00008.s001","name":"A Techno-Economic Assessment of Hybrid Cooling Systems for Coal- and Natural-Gas-Fired Power Plants with and without Carbon Capture and Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.6b00008.s001","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-04-08T10:43:21Z","doi":"10.1021/acs.est.6b00008.s001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.2025644063","name":"Physicochemical Interactions Between Carbonates/Brine/CO2 and their Impact on Residual Trapping: Application for CO2 Geo-Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"Summary The degree of success of CO2 storage depends on many factors that control the safety and efficiency of such projects. Wettability is considered one of the main physicochemical properties affecting this promising technique ( Krevor et al., 2015 ). Specifically, it controls the degree of CO2 trapped by residual trapping and structural trapping, two main trapping mechanisms ( Iglauer et al., 2017 ). Therefore, the need to provide deeper insights on how the latter can affect residual trapping is highly recommended. The scope of this study is to explore experimentally the effect of wettability on CO2 residual trapping in carbonate/brine/CO2 geo-systems, hence CO2 storage calculations. After detecting a great discrepancy in literature regarding the effect of wettability in carbonate/CO2/brine system, and due to the scarcity in experiments and data sets generated in this research area, further experiments are needed to contribute in the establishment of well-defined trends of residual CO2 saturation behavior. This study represents for the first time full core samples treatment with stearic acid for wettability alteration purposes, as well as an extensive investigation on residual trapping efficiency affected by wettability in limestone reservoirs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.2025644063","authors":["J.

Driven by the obligations of reducing carbon emissions and maintaining economic competitiveness in a carbon-constrained world; this study examines the regulatory foundations, and the market dynamics shaping CCS initiatives in the region. This study assesses the current deployment of (CCS) technology in the Middle East. It involves an analysis to assess the region's growing commitment to CCS within its broader sustainability and economic diversification strategies. The evaluation of government policies and incentives, such as carbon pricing mechanisms and investment subsidies, helps determine their effectiveness in supporting CCS initiatives and mitigating technological uncertainties. Moreover, the study reviews the adoption of international best practices to ensure safe, long-term CO2 storage and optimize storage capacity. Finally, the study identifies the critical roles of governments, industry stakeholders, and international partners in overcoming regulatory and technical barriers, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts in advancing CCS deployment in the Middle East. This study is performed using published data for the pilot CCS and Co2 EOR projects in the Middle East highlighting the current regulatory frameworks. The Middle East shows a strong and increasing commitment to CCS, various governments in the region have introduced supportive policies and incentives, such as carbon pricing mechanisms and investment subsidies, to mitigate technological uncertainties and address challenges like water scarcity. Demand forecasts and market assessments indicate substantial potential for CCS, particularly in industrial hubs with high CO2 emissions, driven by regulatory pressures and the strategic importance of CCS for the long-term viability of the oil and gas sector. Successful CCS deployment requires collaboration between stakeholders. Overall, the region's advanced capabilities positioning it uniquely to lead in CCS initiatives in addition CCS is poised to play a pivotal role in the Middle East's energy transition, contributing significantly to carbon mitigation and economic resilience, emphasizing the importance of tailored approaches and collaborative efforts to realize the full potential of CCS in the region. This study offers a fresh perspective by thoroughly analyzing MENA's high potential for large-scale deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies. It highlights the region's proficiency ineffectively implementing CCS technologies and the potential for the Middle East to significantly enhance the global reputation of CCS by fostering public acceptance and reassurance. Through a detailed examination, the study provides novel insights into the potential and strategic importance of CCS in securing the long-term viability of the oil and gas sector while meeting climate targets.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/223358-ms","authors":["Nihal Darraj","Mohamed Mahmoud Abdelrahman","Mohamad Yousef Alklih"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-21T12:04:24Z","doi":"10.2118/223358-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.20131605","name":"Study of Recorded Seismicity at the In Salah (Algeria) Carbon Capture and Storage Project","source":"crossref","abstract":"The In Salah Joint Venture carbon capture and storage project at Krechba, Algeria began injecting CO2 in 2004.

Considerable research has been done in developed countries to analyze the suitability of CO 2 capture technologies for coal power plants, but not in India. This work analyzes the suitability of various CO 2 capture technologies for Indian coal power plants on the basis of different parameters: energy penalty, cost of CO 2 capture, efficiency, and age and size of the power plant. An Integrated Environmental Control Model (IECM) was used to simulate the power plants, and to calculate the energy penalty and cost of capture. All existing 517 units of 115 coal power plants in India, along with one Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant and one ultra‐supercritical plant were analyzed for CO 2 capture suitability. Results show that the total installed capacity of Indian coal power plants would reduce to somewhere between 66 896 and 105 991 MW, depending on the CO 2 capture technology applied, from and existing 126 320 MW. The average efficiency of Indian coal power plants would reduce from the current 29% to 24.4%, 20.7%, and 15.4% if we retrofit the plants with amine‐, ammonia‐, and membrane‐based capture systems, respectively. Cost of CO 2 capture for these three technologies would be $42.3, $75.2, and $81.9 per tonne of CO 2 , respectively. The CO 2 capture technologies would be better off on coal power plants which are less than 20 years old, as the energy penalty would be less. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ghg.1579","authors":["Dharmender Yadav","Munish K.

It reveals a constantly growing trend of an enhanced awareness about the indispensable role and effects of the CCS on wider climate aspirations and, to that effect, also a need for a stable and effective international regulatory framework. The key barriers that are preventing the wider implementation of CCS projects, however, relate primarily to two extra-regulatory processes, which is the policy uncertainty at national levels and financial shortcomings. This background presents a window of opportunity for entrepreneurship and policy invention.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1108/978-1-80071-210-220211007","authors":["Qerim Qerimi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-07-13T06:21:57Z","doi":"10.1108/978-1-80071-210-220211007","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1071/aj22382","name":"Concurrent 24. Oral Presentation for: The global status of carbon capture and storage: ambition to action","source":"crossref","abstract":"Presented on Wednesday 17 May: Session 24 As the global response to climate change advances from ambition to action, the past few years have witnessed unprecedented levels of investments in carbon capture and storage (CCS), with the pipeline of commercial facilities continuing to grow as the technology becomes increasingly competitive and commercial in many countries. Key trends underpinning this momentum include the rise of the network project model enabling the use of shared infrastructure, the incorporation of CCS in private sector investment strategies, ESG (environmental, social and governance) considerations, green taxonomies and the industrial-scale production of hydrogen to meet demand. With CCS receiving increased awareness in international climate policy negotiations, a renewed focus on developing supportive policy, legal and regulatory mechanisms by national governments are also driving CCS deployment. Established leaders and early-movers in CCS-relevant policy, such as the United States, European Union and the UK, continue to maintain or strengthen their positions by allocating significant levels of funding for tax credits, subsidies and grants. Similarly, countries in the Asia-Pacific region, notably China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, are also advancing policies to incentivise deployment, including through the establishment of CCS-specific legal and regulatory frameworks. The outlook for CCS is optimistic, however, current deployment rates fall far short of what is required to keep global warming below 1.5 or even 2 degrees. Further action is needed to unlock the full potential of CCS and realise the Paris climate goals. To access the Oral Presentation click the link on the right.

Regulations mandate monitoring throughout the project’s entire lifespan, including decades post-closure. CCS calls for cost-effective solutions, making expensive high-resolution methods like seismic less viable. Moreover, environmental regulations pose challenges to the intensive use of seismic methods, that feature large CO2 footprints and active sources. Operationally, the presence of infrastructure like wind farms, hinders the systematic surveying patterns required for seismic monitoring. Last but not least, 4D seismic signal detectability can be low when CO2 is injected into depleted gas reservoirs due to the weak contrast with the preexisting residual gas. Time-lapse gravity and seafloor deformation monitoring is a mature commercial technology used for 25 years in Norway to fully replace or complement 4D seismic in gas-producing reservoirs. Recent modeling for CCS projects like Morecambe in the UK demonstrates very significant and robust time-lapse gravity signals after one year of injection, indicating an excellent capability to delineate both the CO2 and the pressure plumes. This offers a viable path forward for monitoring CO2 storage sites sustainably and cost-effectively, while overcoming the operational limitations of 4D seismic. This can be crucial for the long-term success and economic viability of CCS projects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202474005","authors":["H. Ruiz","J.E.

The literature describes a three-step history of CCS: a first period of development based on research and development (R&D) and demonstrators (1990–2009); then a crisis period (2009–14); followed by a potential revival from 2015 (Markusson et al 2012; Minx et al 2018). CCS was developed initially to reduce carbon emissions in the energy sector, but with the rise of renewables, CCS now targets heavy industrial activities such as cement, steel, and chemical plants. The Global CCS Institute describes France as a second-tier actor in CCS development. The country is recognized as having a lower domestic ‘inherent interest’ in CCS than countries such as Australia, Canada, China, and the United States (US), since its ‘propensity towards fossil fuel production and consumption’ is lower (in particular in the electricity production sector because of the high proportion of nuclear power), and since it has undergone considerable de-industrialization (Global CCS Institute 2017, p 37). While France seems to have only a limited strategic interest in developing CCS and while only one injection facility has been commissioned so far, publicly funded researchers continue to develop new R&D projects, and CCS was integrated in the 2020 National Low Carbon Strategy as a contribution to the 2050 carbon neutrality goal (MTES 2020). This constitutes a paradox that this chapter aims to address. Why is there a significant CCS coalition in France despite the low ‘inherent interest’ for CCS? How has this coalition adapted its CCS proposal according to critiques so as to sustain political attention for 20 years, despite achieving none of its previous promises? Investigating the French coalition of CCS promoters, this chapter sheds light on the role of the owners of the proposal, how they shape it, and how they benefited from the promotion of the CCS solution for combating climate change.","url":"https://doi.org/10.46692/9781529210354.006","authors":["Sébastien Chailleux"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-04-20T20:06:22Z","doi":"10.46692/9781529210354.006","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-1-4614-2215-0_7","name":"The Role of Algae in Carbon Capture","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-2215-0_7","authors":["Jennifer Wilcox"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-03-26T16:23:49Z","doi":"10.1007/978-1-4614-2215-0_7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jcou.2021.101545","name":"Eco-efficiency of a novel construction material produced by carbon capture and utilization","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2021.101545","authors":["José-Luis Gálvez-Martos","Roneta Chaliulina","Enrique Medina-Martos","Ammar Elhoweris","Amer Hakki","Jonathan Mwanda","Yousef Al-Horr"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-20T18:25:43Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jcou.2021.101545","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jcou.2024.103013","name":"Novel comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) of sustainable flue gas carbon capture and utilization (CCU) for surfactant and fuel via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis","source":"crossref","abstract":"This novel study presents an effective comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) of a novel sustainable carbon dioxide capture and utilization (CCU) system to co-produce alcohol ethoxylate (AE7), a valuable surfactant (a high-value chemical component of liquid detergents), and low-medium distillate range liquid fuel. Conventionally, AE7 is produced by reacting fatty alcohols with ethylene oxide from mostly fossil and marginally bio-based resources. This research develops novel AE7 production using carbon sources from flue gas of paper and steel industries, addressing a critical gap in the literature. The core process is Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis using syngas formed by the reverse-water-gas-shift reaction, where recycled CO 2 reacts with H 2 . FT produces C11-C13 alkanes and a light-to-medium fuel co-product. The alkanes are converted into C12-C14 fatty alcohols through dehydrogenation, hydroformylation, and hydrogenation. Fatty alcohols react with ethylene oxide to form AE7. The yields (w/w) of AE7 and the fuel co-products are 3.7 % and 3.4 % for paper industry flue gas, and 8.0 % and 9.5 % for steel industry flue gas, respectively. Renewable (wind) electricity meets the hydrogen demand and electricity needs for the reactions, a total of 13.4 and 33.3 kWh/kg flue gas, respectively. The life cycle impact assessment includes global warming potential (GWP) and other impacts using ReCiPe, Impact+ , and Product Environmental Footprint methods. Baseline scenarios show GWP ranging from 2.2 to 3.6 kg CO 2 e/kg surfactant for conventional cradle-to-gate AE production systems. The new systems have GWP ranging 0.4–1.3 kg CO 2 e/kg flue gas (cradle-to-gate) using mass allocation. Meanwhile, the paper industry’s flue gas system has biogenic CO 2 , while the steel industry’s CO 2 is fossil-based. Considering the GWP reductions due to biogenic CO 2 contents, their overall GWP is 2.56 kg CO 2 e and 10.33 kg CO 2 e per kg of product (AE7 +fuel) (cradle-to-grave) using economic allocation. Thus, biogenic CCU is critical for the sustainable co-production of high-value surfactants and fuel. • A novel methodology consists of LCA of industrial flue gas utilization systems. • Life cycle impact assessment of surfactant and fuel production from CO 2 . • GWP and ReCiPe, Impact Plus and Product Environmental Footprint estimated. • Biogenic CO 2 makes the CDU CCU viable for high-value productions. • Energy integration-renewable electricity including for heating, hydrogen essential.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2024.103013","authors":["Jhuma Sadhukhan","Oliver J.

The Snøhvit development, due to start production in late 2007, will involve a CCS component from day one. Approximately 700,000 tons of CO2 captured from the liquefaction plant will be reinjected every year in an underground formation offshore. Furthermore there are interesting alternatives for CO2 capture from the on-site power plant and for the use of CO2 for EOR in a nearby oilfield, leading to several future development scenarios for CCS at Snøhvit.Different development scenarios for CCS are analysed to select the best development option. The economic modelling framework will also be used to assess the impact of the uncertainties on the project economics.The analysis identifies that a key driver for the profitability of the project is the legislative setting for CCS. The involvement of the government is very important for the viability of the project, which needs a strong incentive, as the current CO2 tax scheme or an emission trading scheme with strict allocation of emission targets. Under such conditions a CCS project such as Snøhvit becomes a win-win situation: economically profitable for the operator and environmentally friendly.From a broader perspective, addressing the economic and legislative uncertainty currently surrounding CCS projects for the oil and gas industry is crucial because this represents the main limiting factor for the further development of such projects. It is therefore essential that economic modelling tools such as the framework described in the present work become industry standards so as to ensure that projects which could be profitable for both the operator and the environment are not abandoned by pure lack of analysis ability.IntroductionCarbon dioxide has been used for EOR purposes in Texas since the 1970s. More recently, carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) projects involving the oil and gas industry have been started in Canada, Algeria, Norway and the Netherlands, and several other projects are planned all over the world, and particularly in the North Sea (Miller in the United Kingdom, several projects in Norway among which Snøhvit) [1].However, even though CCS projects for the oil and gas industry are technically mature, there are still a certain number of barriers that act as a constraining factor for new CCS projects:the cost of CCS is still significant, even though there is sufficient room for improvement, especially in the capture component [1].most importantly, there is a large amount of uncertainty related to the economic viability of CCS projects. This is mainly due to the fact that legislative issues concerning economic incentives and structures for CCS projects are currently in an experimental stage, and thus evolve constantly.The main objective of this paper is therefore to address the uncertainty related to the economic viability of projects for the oil and gas industry involving CCS.The Snøhvit LNG project will be used to illustrate how to isolate from an economic modelling point of view the component involved in CO2 capture and storage (hereafter called the CCS component) from the rest of the project. Indeed, the CCS component is complex enough so as to require separate modelling, and this practice is not currently an industry standard. It is therefore interesting to describe how this CCS component can be defined, what are its boundaries and interactions with any external entities, and how all these issues can be modelled.An economic analysis will be performed on the different development alternatives and scenarios that will be defined for the CCS component of the project.

Through different processes, carbon from these combustion processes is captured and stored in deep reservoirs so that CO 2 is not released into the atmosphere and does not contribute to climate warming. This chapter centers on these adaptation technologies, their evolution over time, and the potential role of the oil and gas industry in building this bridge while working concurrently on the energy transition. From calculating the costs of CCS projects to selecting ideal locations to deploy them, this section also reviews the different types of CCS technologies, the processes necessary for carbon to be captured and separated from flue gases, and the best prospects for the selection of long-term CO 2 storage sites. Despite potentially prohibitive costs for some countries, capture technologies can be boosted with government subsidies covering specific capital and operational costs and strategic partnerships involving oil and gas players. The industry employs CCS methods to improve oil production through enhanced oil recovery (EOR), injecting carbon dioxide into depleted reservoirs. This process helps store CO 2 deep underground while also optimizing oil retrieval. Due to the potential benefits of advancements like this, the industry is privileged to lead global decarbonization efforts and become a key player in the path to a successful energy transition in the 21st century.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003282273-14","authors":["Jorge Saldaña","Mesut Yurukcu","Narendra Boppana","Sepehr Arbabi","Jim Henry","Sebahattin Ziyanak"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-20T15:14:26Z","doi":"10.1201/9781003282273-14","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/icate.2014.6972614","name":"The potential of carbon capture and storage as a tool for the integration of RES","source":"crossref","abstract":"Usually carbon capture and storage is considered an alternative to the introduction of renewable energy sources. However by their high energy consumption, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) systems have the capacity to contribute to the necessary power reserves for the compensation of Renewable Energy Sources (RES), by decreasing the power injected by the conventional power plants. If the CCS system has a continuous operation, the conventional power plant has a smaller capacity to compensate RES. Admitting a discharge of the CO2emissions into the atmosphere only for the periods when power injected by RES is very low (under 30 % of the installed power for our example) CCS might also be regarded as an important method for the integration of RES. With this hypothesis the quota of the electrical energy generated by RES (in our example) could be extended to 60 % (the double of the EU 2020 target).

SMR with carbon capture was simulated in ChemCAD, while an integrated asset model was developed to simulate the carbon dioxide (CO2) compression, transportation, and injection. The results show that SMR without CCS has a carbon footprint of 11.99 kgCO2e/kgH2. Integrating CCS which captures over 95% of CO2 emissions, reduces this footprint to as low as 6.59 kgCO2e/kgH2, but raises the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) from $1.82/kgH2 (no CCS) to $3.22/kgH2 (with CCS, no tax credit) and $2.59/kg H2 (with a 45Q tax credit). Consequently, the levelized net present value (NPV) declines from $0.87/kgH2 without CCS to $0.74/kgH2 with CCS, due to the added costs of carbon capture, transport, and storage. Pipeline route analysis shows that longer routes and challenging terrains modestly increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while powering SMR with nuclear and renewable sources especially wind and hydro, yields the lowest life-cycle emissions compared to geothermal or hydropower. Sensitivity analyses identify hydrogen selling price, internal rate of return (IRR), and CCS cost as the key drivers of economic feasibility whereas grid electricity consumption is the main contributor to lifecycle emissions. These findings underscore the trade-off between higher production costs and lower emissions, demonstrating that policy incentives, cleaner electricity sources, and robust hydrogen markets are pivotal to advancing low-carbon hydrogen production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/224206-ms","authors":["A.

Scientists put great efforts to tackle this problem and carbon dioxide capture seems to be a promising solution. The present study proposes a novel method of carbon dioxide capture using black liquor, a side stream from the paper and pulp industry. Its content in sodium hydroxide makes it an attractive candidate for carbon dioxide capture via carbonation. The black liquor was prepared from oat husks, a non-woody biomass, using the soda-pulping process. To estimate its carbon dioxide absorption capacity, a mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide (70:30%) was sparged into a bubble column reactor and computational fluid dynamics simulations of this setup were used to evaluate the mixing process. The formation of carbonate and bicarbonate ions throughout the carbonation process was followed using a Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) probe and a pH meter. The absorption capacity was measured from the weight increase of the reactor. It was found to be around 30 g of carbon dioxide/L of black liquor. The carbonate and bicarbonate species in black liquor before and after carbonation were further characterized with 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and optical microscopy. Using industrial side-streams might enable an economically feasible process without the need for production of virgin absorbents or their recovery. Furthermore, this capturing process, which is performed at atmospheric conditions might reduce the overall energy consumption. The results demonstrated that black liquor could be an attractive absorbent for carbon dioxide, paving the way for a circular and resource-efficient economy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2023.102516","authors":["Emmanouela Leventaki","Francisco M.

Multiple CCS projects have been announced recently in SEA, targeting storage in depleted reservoirs. In this paper, we share technical lessons learned while working on CCS projects in SEA. The paper first provides an overview of engineering factors that should be considered for the transport and storage of CO2 in depleted reservoirs. We will then focus our discussion on four of the challenges faced while assessing these factors. Firstly, we highlight the impact that regional geothermal gradients have on storage capacity; particularly, we show that higher geothermal gradients due to the proximity to the ring of fire reduces storage capacity in reservoirs in SEA. Secondly, challenges surrounding the dynamic modelling of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) injection into depleted reservoirs will be discussed; the large difference between the composition of the injected gas and native reservoir gas necessitates the use of compositional dynamic models. In this regard, many depleted reservoirs either do not have dynamic models at all, or only have black oil models; both circumstances will require significant time and resource investments to construct compositional dynamic models. Next, we will discuss the reusability of regional gas pipelines for CCS projects; we discuss factors that may prevent a pipeline from being convertible for CO2 transport. Finally, we will discuss the challenge of managing CO2 phase transitions at injection sites.

This vision also states the importance of non-pipeline-transport (NPT) options. This paper integrates batchwise CO2 transportation options (i.e. by ship, railway, and lorries) with planned pipeline-based carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems, enhancing the decarbonisation of industrial clusters. A Multi-period, Multi-mode, and Multiobjective Mixed integer linear programming (MoMilp) framework is adopted to perform deterministic, stochastic, and multiobjective optimisations for the transport value chain of captured CO2 and regional infrastructure. Bottom-up process modelling data serves as input to design the infrastructure required for establishing efficient batchwise CCS networks. Publicly available point source emissions were used to devise emission profiles for the 30-year time horizon. Disperse CO2 sources are clustered by CO2 emission mass and distance using a machine learning algorithm (i.e. K-means). Two clustering concepts were analysed: a cluster hub only option, comprising 6 stationary emitters with 104 Mt CO2 over 30 years, and the cluster expanded option, comprising the 6 stationary and a further 38 satellite emitters with 209 Mt CO2 over 30 years. The optimisation results predict that the unit cost ranges from 16.4 to 29.2 £ t-1CO2, depending on the concept. The levelised cost (i.e. at 10%) ranges from 29.3 to 33.8 £ t-1CO2. Stochasticity in the emission profile increased the total cost estimated by more than 20%. In the multiobjective optimisation, the main opportunity for reducing GHG emissions from the network was to replace ship transportation with rail; however, this option would impose significant pressure on an already saturated rail network.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5070429","authors":["Denis Fraga","Anna Korre","Zhenggang Nie","Sevket Durucan","Jonathan  W.

With Malaysia having an estimated 37 Tscfd (Trillion standard cubic feet) of natural gas remains undeveloped in CO2 containing natural gas fields, there is a need to assess the viability of CCS implementation. This study performs a techno-economic analysis for CCS at an offshore natural gas field in Malaysia. The framework includes a gas field model, revenue model, and cost model. A techno-economic spreadsheet consisting of Net Present Value (NPV), Payback Period (PBP), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is developed over the gas field’s production life of 15 years for four distinctive CO2 capture technologies, which are membrane, chemical absorption, physical absorption, and cryogenics. Results predict that physical absorption solvent (Selexol) as CO2 capture technology is most feasible with IRR of 15% and PBP of 7.94 years. The output from the techno-economic model and associated risks of the CCS project are quantified by employing sensitivity analysis (SA), which indicated that the project NPV is exceptionally sensitive to gas price. On this basis, the economic performance of the project is reliant on revenues from gas sales, which is dictated by gas market price uncertainties.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr8030350","authors":["Norhasyima Rahmad Sukor","Abd Halim Shamsuddin","Teuku Meurah Indra Mahlia","Md Faudzi Mat Isa"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-03-20T07:29:07Z","doi":"10.3390/pr8030350","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64628/aai.3rtutmnwu","name":"What is carbon capture and storage?

While the world is slowly transitioning to more sustainable energy sources to reach this target, one of the ways to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere is to capture it and store it in depleted gas fields. Multiple of these so-called Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects are being developed and they require a different design philosophy compared to conventional hydrocarbon projects. The material selection is an important and integral part of that. This paper shows how to assess and develop steel tubulars for the conditions in a CCS well. Potential failure scenarios due to low temperature embrittlement, environmentally-assisted cracking and corrosion are reviewed. Low temperature suitability is explored for carbon and low alloy steels using available test data, e.g. Charpy impact energy and fracture toughness data. A fracture toughness model is validated for low alloy material grades L80-1 and proprietary 110 ksi sour grade in this paper to support the CCS wells design framework. This is combined with other material selection strategies to mitigate the corrosion and cracking threats, and to achieve a safe and cost-effective material selection for the CCS wells.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5006/c2023-18760","authors":["Willem Maarten van Haaften","Hisashi Amaya","Bostjan Bezensek","Yuji Arai","Brian Chambers","Hiroki Kamitani"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-16T16:54:01Z","doi":"10.5006/c2023-18760","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1017/9781316480724.004","name":"Goals of CO2 Monitoring","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1017/9781316480724.004","authors":["Thomas M.

While it is understood that private investment will typically focus on the development of intellectual property aimed at delivering a commercial advantage, there is a lack of evidence that public investment in CCS RD&D can deliver commercial viability. Here, we show that, while improved CCS technology in the electricity systems will deliver larger market shares to the technology developers, the benefit on overall system cost is negligible.

The practical example is state‐of‐the‐art of CCS, and whether this contributes to combat climate change or not.

The dry areas of the developing world where approximately 40% of the world population lives comprise about 40% of the earth's land area. Crop production, particularly cereal grains, must increase in these areas to meet these growing demands.

The most important factor is the amount of evapotranspiration not only because it is closely proportional to grain yield, but because it tends to also make the other factors more favorable. Therefore, even small increases in ET can be significant. Strategies for manipulating soil and plant conditions for increasing ET, and how additional ET affects the other factors, are discussed for water deficient areas. The use of crop residues as mulch is highly beneficial but often insufficient in dryland regions or is required for animal feed and fuel. Plastic mulch, mainly restricted to China, has significantly increased grain yields in dryland areas by decreasing evaporation from the soil surface.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s2095-3119(15)61096-6","authors":["B A Stewart","Wei-li LIANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-08-08T01:21:25Z","doi":"10.1016/s2095-3119(15)61096-6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-008043018-8/50035-7","name":"Capture of carbon dioxide from coal combustion and its utilization for enhanced oil recovery","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-008043018-8/50035-7","authors":["Ray P.

A growing concern among many countries is the design o f mechanism s that will finance clean coal technologies and in particular carbon capture and storage projects. To illustrate, it is estimated that the United States will require 170 GW of new coal -fired capacity prior to 2030 with 90% of that being post 2015. Therefore substantial government and private investment into carbon capture and storage (CCS ) projects will be required and m echanisms designed to facilitate that investment. Many organizations are examining this issue including the IEA Clean Coal Centre, IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme, Clean Coal Power Initiative and the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF). In 2007 and 2008 two expert meetings on financing post-demonstration CCS projects were organised in London and New York by the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme and the IEA Clean Coal Centre, with the support of the World Coal Institute and sponsorship from Chevr on and Rio Tinto. This paper reports back the results of those meetings in regard to identifying the key drivers for financing post-demonstration CCS projects in Europe and North America. This is of particular interest with the restructuring of the USA Fut ureGen Programme as well as the proposed inclusion of CCS within the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) in the future. Different options for financing such projects are explored and compared with a focus on how they could assist in the realisation of commercial CCS projects. In addition, this paper examines the response by the insurance, banking and other financial sectors to the potential investment opportunities CCS projects could provide in dealing with issues such as liability and project investment.

The majority of the abstract requires modification. I propose that the first sentence of the abstract in the manuscript should better emphasize the formulation of the problem. The remaining part and any corrections were made by the author. Scenarios of the importance of CCS in the process of transformation of energy systems in Poland. One of the most important issues in the coming years will be the transformation of the energy systems of the European Union’s member states, which will require the development of appropriate technological solutions. The research presented here analyses the importance of CCS in energy transformation. This article proposes adapting the energy transformation method to the structure of the energy mix and conditions prevailing in a specific country. Poland was adopted as an example for analysis due to its exceptionally complicated situation, taking into account the structure of energy production. For this purpose, an expert opinion survey was conducted. Both measurable variables, such as the volume of CO2 emissions and EU ETS prices, and a qualitative variable, i.e., the impact of the political environment on the development of CCS, were introduced to the constructed model. The model allowed us to construct three scenarios describing alternative visions for the future development of CCS: optimistic, pessimistic, and neutral, taking into account different conditions in which CCS can develop. The use of fuzzy sets allowed us to eliminate the most serious drawback of planning scenarios based on expert knowledge, which is the subjectivity of their judgments. This research showed that stable conditions of the political environment and predictable legal regulations will be crucial for the application of CCS in the Polish energy sector. The prepared scenarios will enable a quick response and accurate decisions under various conditions of the turbulent environment. This will facilitate the preparation of energy strategies. The scenarios indicate what combinations of variables, under given environmental conditions, of CCS will be of great importance in the energy transformation, and when it may give way to other technologies. In addition, the scenarios, and especially their visualisation, are extremely valuable for stakeholders, because they will allow them to observe the potential development of the situation under known conditions of the political environment, prices, and CO2 emissions. They enable understanding the dependence of the importance of CCS in the changing environment. They also enable the detection of critical points for the development of CCS, which, as a result of recent geopolitical events, may be of key importance in the near future for ensuring the energy and military security of Poland and the EU.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18092278","authors":["Aurelia Rybak","Jarosław Joostberens"],"tags":["Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Transformation (genetics)","Process (computing)","Carbon fibers","Energy storage"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-29","doi":"10.3390/en18092278","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-008044570-0/50118-5","name":"Cost and Feasibility Study on the Praxair Advanced Boiler for the CO2 Capture Project's Refinery Scenario","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-008044570-0/50118-5","authors":["Leonard Switzer","Lee Rosen","Dave Thompson","John Sirman","Hank Howard","Larry Bool"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2007-10-10T17:20:20Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-008044570-0/50118-5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jcou.2021.101507","name":"Process and engineering aspects of carbon capture by ionic liquids","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2021.101507","authors":["Vasa Maureen Shama","Aditya Ravi Swami","R.

In 2022, it produced 118 Mtpa cement while emitting 109 Mtpa cement-related CO2, equal to 33% of Vietnam’s total CO2 emission. As Vietnam has pledged to achieve net zero by 2050, unabated cement-related CO2 emission must be drastically reduced in the future. This paper investigates the contribution of carbon capture and storage (CCS) to decarbonizing Vietnam’s cement industry to make cement production cleaner and more sustainable. A first-of-a-kind CO2 source-sink mapping exercise was conducted to map 68 cement plants to subsurface sinks, including oil and gas reservoirs and saline aquifers, using four CCS field development concepts. The results have identified four first-mover CCS projects where CO2 emissions from 27 cement plants are mapped to nearby offshore subsurface CO2 sinks. Two of these projects are located in Vietnam-north, one in Vietnam-central, and one in Vietnam-south. In the Vietnam-south CCS project, CO2 emission from the Kien Giang province is transported and stored in the offshore Block B gas field. In the other three CCS projects, CO2 emission is transported to nearshore saline aquifers in the Song Hong Basin. At a CO2 capture rate of 90%, these four projects will mitigate 50 Mtpa CO2, which is 46% of cement-related CO2 emission or 15% of total CO2 emission from Vietnam, thus making Vietnam’s cement production cleaner and more sustainable. Future research should focus on subsurface characterization of saline aquifers in the Song Hong Basin. The methodology developed in this study is usable in other cement-producing countries with significant CO2 sinks in the nearshore continental shelf.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su16020942","authors":["Hon Chung Lau","Steve C.

From a purely cynical point of view, I could make the argument that the debate is already over, as it is largely political, it doesn’t matter what we think, we are stuck with results that can significantly impact our industries, and we should do what we can to minimize the damage. However, I prefer to look at this more as an opportunity, a way to advance our social license, and as a series of technical issues that members of SPE are uniquely qualified to address. Since the first commercial CO2 project in Scurry County, Texas, in 1972, more than 150 additional CO2 EOR projects have been put in place worldwide. These projects initially depended on natural CO2 and were located near three large natural CO2 resources: McElmo Dome in Colorado, Bravo Dome in New Mexico, and Jackson Dome in Mississippi. More than 100 current CO2 EOR projects are located in the Permian Basin and Gulf Coast as a result. These projects were not initiated to save the planet or to sequester CO2; they were created by brilliant engineers and scientists trying to squeeze additional resources from declining reservoirs, and they continued because they were economical and extended the lives of fields. CO2 EOR in miscible or near-miscible floods can revitalize mature fields, with a typical tertiary response on the order of the secondary recovery efforts in both duration and volumes. In the past, projects have been limited by chemistry, CO2 supply, and infrastructure. According to a report by the US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, only about 3–4% of potential US CO2 EOR sites—that is, those with proper pressure, temperature, and permeability for miscible flooding—are currently under flood. The remaining sites are awaiting available CO2, and, perhaps more importantly, favorable economics compared to other investment opportunities, such as unconventionals, where Permian shale oil is being produced for as low as $25 per barrel. Over 1 Bcf of natural CO2 is injected into the Permian Basin every day, and estimates are that between 800 million and 1 billion metric tons of CO2 have been stored during the past 45 years of CO2 EOR development in the region, more or less incidentally to the primary goal of producing incremental oil. This is very significant, because you are looking at numbers, which are on at least the same order of magnitude that the Paris Climate Agreement says we need to store over the next 20 years, and it has been done voluntarily, with existing technology, and with many more fields available for potential development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/0220-0012-jpt","authors":["Robert Balch"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-02-07T18:09:51Z","doi":"10.2118/0220-0012-jpt","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1017/cbo9780511778100.015","name":"Global warming, transnational communities, and economic entrepreneurship: the case of carbon capture and storage (CCS)","source":"crossref","abstract":"Introduction The oil crises in the 1970s made national governments in countries such as the USA, Japan, Germany, Israel, Denmark, Sweden, and many others aware of their oil dependence and the threat to national security it created. At the same time, there was greater public awareness of the environmental problems created by carbon-based energy systems. National policies were put in place to promote new “clean” energy systems, such as solar, wind, wave, and bio-energy. Policy instruments varied between subsidies – such as “feed-in tariffs” or subsidized prices to owners of wind or solar energy production infrastructure when they sell electricity to the public grid in countries such as Japan or Germany – tax relief (as in the USA), and government funding for R&D investments. During the 1970s and 1980s, these national R&D efforts were supported by NGOs and reinforced by industrial entrepreneurs and suppliers of technology. These national technological systems of innovation developed green technologies and made the new energy systems more efficient and hence more competitive with carbon-based energies (Jakobsson et al . 2002). Such developments were endorsed and encouraged by a number of transnational institutions. In the course of the 1970s, there was a rift between the “green” movement, promoting “clean and green” technology solutions that at the time were inefficient and seemed to be of little economic significance, and “industrial interests,” promoting economic growth while generating pollution. At the time, only a minority saw the possibility of a compromise between these positions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1017/cbo9780511778100.015","authors":["Åge Mariussen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2010-09-01T15:01:14Z","doi":"10.1017/cbo9780511778100.015","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-008044570-0/50114-8","name":"Zero or Low Recycle in-Duct Burner Oxyfuel Boiler Feasibility Study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-008044570-0/50114-8","authors":["Mark Simmonds","Graeme Walker"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2007-10-10T17:20:20Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-008044570-0/50114-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.202570021","name":"CCS Potential in the Deccan Trap Basalt, India- A Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Summary The Deccan trap basalt, spread over an area of 5,00,000 sq. km. in western and central India is one of the potential sites for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).

Plagioclase feldspar rich Deccan basalt have high surface area due to small grain size, thus showing favourable conditions for permanent carbon mineralization. The Deccan basalt have many identical properties to Columbia River basalt and Iceland basalt, but some distinctive properties of Deccan basalt need to be studied to identify the suitability of the area for CO2 storage. Geological age, slow cooling rate, tapering shape of formation from west to east, episodes of lava flow eruption and the availability of water for CO2 dissolution are the major factors to be evaluated for storage suitability. The Deccan basalt have relatively lower porosity and permeability compared to globally distributed basalt formation due to the above-mentioned critical factors. Water availability in the area and economic outlook suggests the use of combination of (a) pure CO2 injection and (b) dissolved CO2 injection methods at different locations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202570021","authors":["P.

While large-scale CO 2 injection in geologic formations associated with enhanced oil recovery operations have been ongoing for over 30 years, different technical challenges face the injection of CO 2 into saline reservoirs sourced from utility boilers. Beyond the high costs of capture, operational reliability related to the integration of capture with pipeline transport and injections are components of CCS with very little operational experience. Some issues unique to utility boiler capture include planned and forced outages, generation loading, and changes in CO 2 purity. These operational issues can only be resolved through the integration of capture, transportation, and injection operations in demonstration-scale projects. Parametric testing provides an opportunity to evaluate how the integration of transportation and injection for storage respond to changes in plant operations. This paper will introduce a CCS demonstration-scale research program that involves a carbon capture unit designed to supply up to 500 metric tons (tonnes) per day (182,500 tonnes per year), a 19-kilometer pipeline and injection into a subsurface saline reservoir located at 3,060 meters below ground surface. The project will provide a test bed to begin to understand and resolve the challenges of integrating the key components of CCS with utility boilers. The paper will provide an update on the status of the project, covering the permits required to get the demonstration in motion, the geologic assessment of the proposed injection target reservoirs, and the engineering design for the injection and monitoring program.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2011.02.537","authors":["R.

Initial investigations into both combustion-based CHP and gasification-based CHP suggested that gasification better matches the balance of power and heat required for ethanol production with CCS.

Injecting CO2 into the depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and aquifers has been focused as one the main CCUS strategy. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the effects of reservoir heterogeneity that are defined as important physical criteria to determine the success of CCUS projects. We develop an equation of state (EOS) fluid characterization with 34 components. Wide range of fluid composition from black oil to gas condensate system was generated to capture the degree of fluid heterogeneity in the reservoir. The results of various PVT tests such as CCE, swelling test with CO2 and MMP were compared for different heterogeneous fluid systems. The pseudoized EOS model was optimized to a minimum number of pseudo components that reproduce the physical properties of full-EOS model. The detailed EOS model was then employed by a full compositional reservoir simulation model to study the CO2 injection in a depleted oil reservoir with high degrees of heterogeneities. Various range of porosities, permeabilities, formation temperature and injection pressure scenarios were considered during sensitivity analysis of CO2 storage in depleted reservoir. Prior to CO2 injection the reservoir depleted from initial reservoir pressure to its abandoned pressure which resulted in forming a gas cap zone with low residual oil saturation. Case scenarios with homogeneous fluid composition, and petrophysical heterogeneity at different reservoir conditions where considered for initialization of the reservoir sector model. Results show that the oil saturation at the abandoned pressure is strongly dependent to the initial condition which effect the CO2 storage efficiency at the later period. During CO2 injection period, the oil recovery profile and the CO2 storage are considerably affected by reservoir heterogeneity, reservoir conditions and different injection scenarios. High CO2 storage was achieved with high CO2 injection pressure with a certain degree of heterogeneity and at low reservoir temperatures. This paper provides a better understating of CO2 storage mechanism under various range of petrophysical heterogeneity and different reservoir conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/210378-ms","authors":["Fahd Mohamad Alqahtani","Mohammed Talal Althehibey","Mohammad Ghasemi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-09-26T00:07:30Z","doi":"10.2118/210378-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2118/139713-ms","name":"The Effect of CO2-Saturated Brine on the Conductivity of Wellbore-Cement Fractures","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract The efficiency of Carbon Capture and Storage projects is directly related to the long term sealing ability of cemented sections in wellbores penetrating CO2 storage reservoirs.

A slight decrease in the microporosity of the plasma treated samples was found and attributed to pore blocking by the grafted N species.

In 2005, Governor's Executive Order S-3-05 required that California reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. In 2006, State Assembly Bill 32 codified the 2020 goal into law. In 2006, the California Legislature required two California agencies, the California Energy Commission and the Department of Conservation, to produce a report recommending how the state could facilitate commercial adoption of geologic sequestration from industrial sources. In 2010, three state agencies, the Energy Commission, Public Utilities Commission, and Air Resources Board, convened the California Carbon Capture and Storage Review Panel to make recommendations on specific policy, institutional, and regulatory changes necessary for California to enable commercial-scale carbon capture and geologic storage projects. Since 2006, several legislative bills have been introduced to establish regulatory authority, liability, and address pore space ownership issues, but none have made it into law. To meet the state's aggressive targets, especially to 2050 goal, will nevertheless require widespread adoption of CCUS technologies, according to studies by the California Council on Science and Technology. California contributes 7.5% of the total GHG emissions in the USA, or 1.8% of global GHG emissions. Over half of this currently is from point sources, but that proportion will increase as the state pursues electrification of the transportation sector. Trajectories of future GHG emissions growth suggest mitigation technologies must be implemented at rates on the order of 10–20 million tonnes of GHGs removed per year. The cap-and-trade system recently adopted in California to address the GHG reduction mandates of Assembly Bill 32 would seem to encourage pursuit CCUS technology projects by industrial emitters, but uncertainties preclude developing viable business cases. Uncertainty includes a lack of data on the costs of capture and storage and the lack of cap-and-trade accounting protocols for CCUS technologies. Although these protocols are scheduled to be developed, they will lag the initialization of cap-and-trade in 2012.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2013.06.710","authors":["Elizabeth Burton","Niall Mateer","John Beyer"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2013-08-05T17:03:41Z","doi":"10.1016/j.egypro.2013.06.710","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.apenergy.2015.05.010","name":"Simultaneous carbon dioxide capture and utilization using thermal desalination reject brine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2015.05.010","authors":["Abdallah Dindi","Dang Viet Quang","Mohammad R.M.

At the same time, the conventional method of transporting Hythane has significant safety concerns primarily due to hydrogen embrittlement probabilities. The prime focus of the research on Hythane storage and transportation is necessary to develop Hythane as an immediate solution toward achieving the hydrogen economy. The current study proposes to convert the gaseous components into gas hydrate pellets using the gas hydrate process, thus keeping them enclosed inside hydrogen-bonded water cages to minimize the chance of embrittlement. In this work, Hythane storage using gas hydrate technology has been studied with three different Hythane gas mixtures having hydrogen concentrations of 8, 15, and 30 mol % in methane under 6.0 MPa, a relatively lower pressure for hydrogen gas mixtures. A detailed study includes phase equilibria and micro-DSC study, which helped design a growth kinetics study followed by Hythane hydrate pellet formation and stability investigation. In order to improve the Hythane hydrate growth for industrial applications, additives including sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS) (kinetic hydrate promotors), and tetrahydrofuran (THF) (thermodynamic hydrate promotors) were explored. Thermodynamic and kinetic studies were performed for each additive system. Hythane mole consumption and induction time analysis revealed relatively high hydrogen storage and faster hydrate growth with THF kinetics. SDS and SDBS also showcased improved and better Hythane hydrate formation than pure water; however, it also showed foam generation and lower stability; whereas THF has less energy-intensive and stable hydrate formation due to mixed hydrate formation. The hydrate formation study was extended to store Hythane gas in the hydrate pellets under a controlled environment. Hythane with 30% hydrogen showed the highest hydrogen storage in the form of gas hydrates, where Hythane gas hydrate pellets (Hythane 30 + THF system) were found stable at 1 MPa and 283.15 K for 15 days. Based on the observations and findings of this study, a commercially exploitable process flow diagram to produce, store, and transport Hythane gas hydrate pellets is also proposed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c02994","authors":["Bhavikkumar Mahant","Swethika C S","Omkar Singh Kushwaha","Rajnish Kumar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-10T13:34:00Z","doi":"10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c02994","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ijggc.2020.103104","name":"Can bioenergy with carbon capture and storage result in carbon negative steel?","source":"crossref","abstract":"This paper explores the potential of achieving negative emissions in steelmaking by introducing bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in multiple steelmaking routes, including blast furnace and HIsarna smelt reduction, and Midrex and ULCORED direct reduction. Process modelling and life cycle assessment were used to estimate CO2 balances for 45 cases. Without bioenergy or CCS, the estimated life cycle CO2 emissions for steelmaking were 1.3–2.4 t CO2/t steel. In our model, aggressive BECCS deployment decreased net CO2 to the order of −0.5 t to 0.1 t CO2/t steel. CCS showed a larger mitigation potential than bioenergy, but combined deployment was most effective. As BECCS use increased, CO2 from background supply chains became more relevant. In the high BECCS cases, if decarbonized electricity is assumed, net CO2 estimates decreased by 400−600 kg CO2/t steel. Conversely, at 700 g CO2/kWh, all cases appeared to be net CO2-positive. Accounting for the “carbon debt” of biomass, beyond biomass supply chain emissions, increased net CO2 estimates by approximately 300 kg CO2eq/t steel. We conclude that CO2-negative steel is possible, but will require significant interventions throughout the production chain, including sustainable biomass cultivation; efficient steel production; CO2 capture throughout steel and bioenergy production; permanent storage of captured CO2; and rigorous monitoring.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2020.103104","authors":["Samantha Eleanor Tanzer","Kornelis Blok","Andrea Ramírez"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-07-24T00:52:57Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ijggc.2020.103104","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jcou.2019.11.011","name":"Catalytic CO2 absorption in an amine solvent using nickel nanoparticles for post-combustion carbon capture","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2019.11.011","authors":["Seokju Seo","Brian Lages","Myeongsub Kim"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-11-24T11:31:22Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jcou.2019.11.011","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jcou.2022.102012","name":"Comparative study of binderless zeolites and carbon molecular sieves as adsorbents for CO2 capture processes","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2022.102012","authors":["A.

This study develops a staged, synergistic heat-supply scheme for a 600 MW unit, featuring exhaust-steam dominance, flue-gas-heat compensation and minimal extraction steam as backup. Low-pressure exhaust-steam heat is upgraded by a compression heat pump and converted to reboiler via flashing, while the waste heat of tail-end flue-gas is recovered through a closed-cycle water loop and delivered to the reboiler via water-water heat exchange and flashing; the extraction steam is introduced only to minimally close the heat balance when waste heat is insufficient. A coupled unit-PCC model is established in Ebsilon and Aspen Plus, and steady-state simulations are performed at 100%/75%/60%/50%/40% THA, followed by improved grey wolf optimizer (IGWO) optimization with the levelized cost of CO2 capture (LCOC) as the objective. At 0.01 MPa back pressure, the proposed waste-heat strategy reduces LCOC by 19.96%, 13.57%, 11.59%, 9.64% and 6.63% across the five THA conditions relative to the benchmark, while increasing the overall energy utilization rate by 11.4% on average. At 100% THA, the waste heat utilization rate remains 92%-94% and the specific capture energy decreases from 3.20 to 3.06 GJ·tCO2−1. The results demonstrate that the proposed staged framework enables effective substitution of high-grade extraction steam by in-plant low-grade waste heat over a wide load range, providing a practical pathway for cost-effective decarbonization retrofits of coal-fired units.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.6172306","authors":["Zhaoyu Yang","Suxia Ma","Guanjia Zhao","Jing Xu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-03T10:40:07Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.6172306","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2118/126700-ms","name":"Utilizing Sustained Casing Pressure Analog to Provide Parameters to Study CO2 Leakage Rates Along a Wellbore","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Predicting the flux of CO2 along a leaking wellbore requires a model of fluid properties and of transport along the leakage pathway. This model should accurately represent the geometry of any discrete leakage pathway, because this geometry strongly affects the coupling between geochemical reactions and geomechanical response. Validating a transport model in advance of large-scale sequestration is difficult because instances of CO2 plumes reaching abandoned wells are presently rare. However, natural gas leakage events along wellbores can provide insights into conductive pathways analogous to those anticipated for CO2 sequestration. We apply a simple transport model to field measurements of sustained casing pressure (SCP) vs. time. We treat as unknowns the effective permeability of the leakage path and the depth at which leakage into the wellbore is occurring. These parameters are useful for forecasting likely leakage rates in sequestration sites located near oil and gas fields and for choosing candidate sites based on past exploration history. For several cases of SCP, conductive pathways (e.g. open fracture, gas channel, micro annulus) must exist to explain the large inferred values of effective permeability. Applied to a large enough set of SCP wells, this approach can provide a probabilistic distribution of leakage rates given regional and well parameters. For CO2 sequestration purposes this provides a tool to assess the risk associated with carbon dioxide migration along leaky wells, which is necessary for site selection, permitting, and properly crediting sequestration operations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/126700-ms","authors":["Nicolas J.

Presentation for: Create a new carbon capture and storage (CCS) industry – unlock Australian CO2 storage by using CO2 carriers for transport and floating CCS hub facilities","source":"crossref","abstract":"Presented on Tuesday 17 May: Session 8 Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is central to a clean energy transition. According to the UN’s IPCC and IEA, CCS needs to attain a global CO2 reduction capacity of ~4 billion tonnes per annum by 2050 to achieve Paris Agreement targets. To date, only 27 large-scale CCS facilities are operating worldwide, totalling 36.6 million tonnes per annum of CO2 reduction. Massive number of new projects are needed. Australia has a potential CO2 storage capacity of 434 billion tonnes, with 316 billion tonnes (73%) residing in offshore oil and gas fields and aquifers. A key constraint to unlock this potential is that the CO2 storage sites and emitter sources are not necessarily located close by. Since CCS projects considered to date in Australia use pipeline transportation, this limits the number of developments to those that have the emission sources and storage sites in proximity. By utilising the Floating CCS Hub development concept, which includes CO2 carriers and floating CCS hub facilities, CCS can be provided to a broader range of emission sources. The transportation cost using CO2 carriers is not as sensitive to transport distance as pipelines, which have a linear relationship between distance and cost. In addition, the CO2 carriers costs are reducing substantially as technology allows for CO2 to be transported in lower pressure states enabling larger parcel sizes, and manufacturing efficiencies further reducing costs. CO2 carriers and CCS hub facilities minimise development constraints related to pipeline distances and land use, and enable replicability and scalability for multiple CCS projects.

CO2 capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is considered a means to deliver low carbon energy, decarbonising industries, power plants and facilitates the net removal of CO2 from the atmosphere. The stages involved include CO2 capture, transport of the captured CO2, utilisation and secure storage of the captured CO2. This chapter reports the use of eggshell and seashells biomaterials as an adsorbent to separate CO2 from other gases generated by power plants and industrial processes. The capture of carbon dioxide by adsorption is based on the ability of a material to preferentially adsorb or carbonate CO2 over other gases. In light of this, calcined eggshell and seashells biomaterial rich in calcium carbonate from which calcium oxide (94%) can be obtained have demonstrated a strong affinity for CO2. These biomaterials are abundant and low-cost alternative to zeolite, activated carbon and molecular sieve carbon. The mechanism of CO2 capture by eggshell and seashells derived CaO adsorbent comprises of a series of carbonation-calcination reactions (CCR): calcium oxide (CaO) reacts with CO2 resulting in calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which releases pure CO2 stream upon calcinations for sequestration or utilisation, and as a consequence, the biomaterial is regenerated. Findings reveal that these biomaterials can hold up to eight times its own weight of CO2 from flue gas stream. It was also found that the combination of 2 M acetic acid and water pretreatment improved the reactivity and capture capacity of the biomaterial for successive regeneration over four cycle’s usage.

The effects of CO2 emissions, both direct and from suppliers and conventional profitability-related financial indicators are examined using panel data and regression analysis to verify whether emission-reduction strategies can align with financial performance. Design/methodology/approach O&amp;G companies’ profit margins are examined using panel data analysis of two models, incorporating CCS-linked factors and conventional financial indicators (e.g. capital intensity, cash flow and Tobin’s Q). The effects of direct and indirect CO2 emissions on profitability are also evaluated. This dual-model method comparatively assesses the environmental and financial drivers of company performance. Findings Profit margins and CO2 emissions show strong direct and indirect relationships, indicating that emission-reduction policies can potentially counteract profit-margin reductions. These results demonstrate that a low-carbon transition is feasible without sacrificing financial results, whereas inaction has pernicious effects. Research limitations/implications From the point of view of the techniques used, the study follows a path already taken in other studies. However, in terms of the set of variables considered in the study, it is innovative. The results are encouraging, which means that this new combination of variables has greater explanatory potential. Practical implications The results clearly indicate that inaction with regard to the energy transition has negative implications for companies and that, on the contrary, investing in initiatives to reduce emissions is comparatively a better option. These results allow companies to view efforts to reduce emissions with greater confidence. Social implications There is a broad consensus on the need to address the energy transition. The division that exists over the energy transition is not about its necessity, but about how to achieve it and make it compatible with wealth creation. This work brings new insights to the discussion of this issue. The transition is feasible and compatible with other economic objectives. Originality/value By incorporating CCS-related indicators, a factor normally neglected in profitability evaluations, into a financial analysis of O&amp;G firms, this study offers a deeper understanding of how environmental factors affect financial performance by examining direct and indirect CO2 emissions. The results show that initiatives to reduce emissions can align with profitability, providing important information for managers, investors and politicians. Furthermore, the results show that proper analyses of O&amp;G companies’ profitability and risk must include data on emission reduction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1108/jrf-05-2025-0248","authors":["João Estevão","José Dias Lopes"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-14T10:16:21Z","doi":"10.1108/jrf-05-2025-0248","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3997/2214-4609.202474034","name":"Mapping the Subsurface: Insights from Western Australia’s CO2 Storage Atlas Products","source":"crossref","abstract":"Summary The Geological Survey of Western Australia has been working on a new CO2 geological storage atlas for Western Australia since July 2022.

Overcoming this contradiction through the synergistic optimization of nanopore architecture and compressive resistance is essential for advancing carbon aerogels from laboratory curiosities to truly engineering-relevant materials. Aiming at dual-functional applications in high-efficiency hydrogen storage and CO2 capture, we propose an integrated strategy that combines solvent-mediated template engineering with ultrasound-assisted chemical activation to precisely tailor the nanopore interfacial microenvironment of a cellulose/reduced graphene oxide-derived porous carbon aerogel (CEL/rGOCA-T-P30). In parallel, reduced graphene oxide nanosheets are incorporated into the cellulose-derived carbon framework, constructing a rigid–flexible coupled network that effectively alleviates the mechanical degradation and conductivity loss commonly associated with aggressive pore generation. Benefiting from the optimized interfacial microenvironment and hybrid reinforcement, CEL/rGOCA-T-P30 delivers a hydrogen uptake of 2.02 wt% (−196 ℃, 1 bar), a CO2 capture capacity of 13.0 wt% (25 ℃, 1 bar), and a compressive strength of 1.522 MPa at 50% strain.

One of the key sectors emitting around 25 % of energy-related greenhouse gases is transportation. Although some segments of the transportation sector have instituted concrete plans with strict regulatory requirements, the maritime sector faces significant challenges in decarbonization, driven by the limited availability of low-emission fuels and commercialized zero-emission vessels compared to its high energy demand. In this work, we develop the Mobility and Energy Transportation Analysis Model, a python-based optimization model to investigate the maritime sector’s current and projected energy demand and a technology sales forecast based on different scenarios, including the latest IMO aspirations to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 on a Well to Wake basis. Along with introducing lower carbon fuels as alternative refueling options for conventional vessels, we explore the market opportunities of mobile carbon capture (MCC), also referred to as Onboard Carbon Capture (OCC) through 2050. To accurately assess this technology, a techno-economic analysis is essential to determine marginal abatement costs compared to alternative decarbonization technologies. Considering consumer decision making as a key factor in shaping the future of marine vessels represents the novelty of our methodology. An additional novelty of this work comes from the detailed cost categories taken into consideration in the analysis, including intangible costs associated with MCC system cost components for different capture rates, as well as the total cost of owning each vessel technology. Based on the study results, MCC could be a viable alternative technology to decarbonize the marine fleet towards complying with IMO’s regulations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trip.2025.101494","authors":["Mohamed Ali Saafi","Michael Traver","Esam Hamad"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-20T16:42:56Z","doi":"10.1016/j.trip.2025.101494","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1071/aj21208","name":"Create a new carbon capture and storage (CCS) industry – unlock Australian CO2 storage by using CO2 carriers for transport and floating CCS hub facilities","source":"crossref","abstract":"Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is central to a clean energy transition. According to the UN’s IPCC and IEA, CCS needs to attain a global CO2 reduction capacity of ~4 billion tonnes per annum by 2050 to achieve Paris Agreement targets. To date, only 27 large-scale CCS facilities are operating worldwide, totalling 36.6 million tonnes per annum of CO2 reduction. Massive number of new projects are needed. Australia has a potential CO2 storage capacity of 434 billion tonnes, with 316 billion tonnes (73%) residing in offshore oil and gas fields and aquifers. A key constraint to unlock this potential is that the CO2 storage sites and emitter sources are not necessarily located close by. Since CCS projects considered to date in Australia use pipeline transportation, this limits the number of developments to those that have the emission sources and storage sites in proximity. By utilising the Floating CCS Hub development concept, which includes CO2 carriers and floating CCS hub facilities, CCS can be provided to a broader range of emission sources. The transportation cost using CO2 carriers is not as sensitive to transport distance as pipelines, which have a linear relationship between distance and cost. In addition, the CO2 carriers costs are reducing substantially as technology allows for CO2 to be transported in lower pressure states enabling larger parcel sizes, and manufacturing efficiencies further reducing costs. CO2 carriers and CCS hub facilities minimise development constraints related to pipeline distances and land use, and enable replicability and scalability for multiple CCS projects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1071/aj21208","authors":["Daein Cha","Matthew Holding"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-05-12T19:36:52Z","doi":"10.1071/aj21208","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.024Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.312Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59717/j.xinn-energy.2025.100100","name":"Economic feasibility of offshore carbon capture and utilization systems in Southeast Asia","source":"crossref","abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Offshore Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) is a promising method to reduce carbon emissions while creating economic value.

Seismic imaging is the leading technique in monitoring and verification of stored CO2. However, small-scale geological features, that fall below the resolution limit of seismic imaging techniques, can still pose significant risk to the integrity of the CO2 storage site. Fractures, faults, or heterogeneities in the rock formations could serve as pathways for CO2 leakage, compromising effective sequestration of CO2. To mitigate these risks, it is essential to complement seismic imaging with other monitoring methods. A feasible, direct approach is the use of chemical tracers co-injected with CO2 to serve as highly sensitive markers for tracking the CO2 plume development, both in the subsurface and to surface.

These structures form at high pressure and low temperature. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in gas hydrates for technological applications, specifically in energy recovery, as well as carbon dioxide capture and storage. In the CO 2 /CH 4 exchange using gas hydrates, researchers have reported a large amount of natural gas trapped in the form of gas hydrates under the ocean seafloor and permafrost regions. This large amount of natural gas trapped inside hydrate cages in oceanic and permafrost deposits has driven interest in the energy sector to investigate the possibility of safely harvesting gas hydrates as one of energy resources. However, there are still unanswered fundamental questions including the mechanism of natural gas recovery from gas hydrates. Another gas hydrate-based technology that has a growing interest is the use of gas hydrates for separation including carbon dioxide capture and storage. Carbon dioxide molecules have been shown to be preferentially trapped in the hydrate phase, demonstrating the possibility of the usage for carbon capture technology. Similarly, there are still underlying concerns of these applications, such as thermodynamics and stability of gas hydrates in porous materials, and the crystallization kinetics and mechanism of hydrate formation. This paper provides an overview of laboratory investigations conducted to understand the mechanism and evaluate the feasibility of energy recovery as well as discussion on recent advances in laboratory investigations on gas hydrate-based technology.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jgsce.2024.205455","authors":["Ahmad AA.

To cope with the increasing installation of grid-scale BESS, an innovative, fast and flexible procedure for evaluating an efficient size for this asset has been developed. The tool exploits a high-fidelity empirical model to assess stand-alone BESS or hybrid power plants under different service stacking configurations. The economic performance has been evaluated considering the revenue stacking that occurs when participating in up to four distinct energy markets and the degradation of the BESS performances due to both cycle- and calendar-aging. The parametric nature of the tool enables the investigation of a wide range of system parameters, including novel BESS control logic, market prices, and energy production. The presented outcomes detail the techno-economic performances of a hybrid system over a 20-year scenario, proposing a sensitivity analysis of both technical and economic parameters. The case study results highlight the necessity of steering BESS investment towards the coupling of RES and accurate planning of the service stacking. Indeed, the implementation of a storage system in an energy district improves the internal rate of return of the project by up to 10% in the best-case scenario. Moreover, accurate service stacking has shown a boost in revenues by up to 44% with the same degradation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en16186546","authors":["Matteo Spiller","Giuliano Rancilio","Filippo Bovera","Giacomo Gorni","Stefano Mandelli","Federico Bresciani","M.

The CO2 consumption at gas-diffusion electrodes due to electrochemical reduction and reaction with OH- at the electrode-electrolyte interface leads to a substantial reduction in the volumetric flowrate of gas flow out of the electrolyzer, especially when highly alkaline electrolytes and elevated current densities are utilized, mainly owing to elevated pH at cathode/electrolyte interface. Without considering the CO2 consumption, the Faradaic efficiencies for major gas products could be significantly overestimated during high current density CO2 reduction conditions, particularly in the case of high pH electrolyte. In addition, a detailed carbon balance path is elucidated via a two-step procedure of CO2 reaction with OH- at cathode/electrolyte interface and subsequent CO2 generation at anode/electrolyte interface caused by a relatively low pH in the vicinity of the anode. Based on the proposed two-step carbon balance path, a systemic exploration of gases released in anolyte reveals the transformation of a HCO3- or OH- catholyte to a CO32- catholyte, which was further confirmed by pH measurement.","url":"https://doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv.11365136.v1","authors":["Ming Ma","Ezra L.

To reach global net-zero CO2 emissions and limit global warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot, global mitigation pathways assessed by IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report require some world regions to achieve net-negative CO2 emissions with large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) deployment. This raises important questions about the availability and feasibility of CDR deployment in different societal and political contexts.This paper therefore combines an analysis of CDR deployment in a sample of scenarios from the IPCC AR6 database with a bottom-up analysis of the state of CDR governance and policy in countries considered key in scaling up CDR capacity and not yet covered by existing research. In particular, the paper focuses on Brazil, China, and India as important emerging economies and large emitters. We highlight the expected use of CDR methods in those regions in scenarios and systematically assess and compare the level of CDR regulation and innovation across these countries. This comparative perspective has the potential to broaden the understanding of existing and emerging CDR policies and politics.The synthesis of the case studies provides three key contributions to existing literature: First, we explore the state of CDR governance and policymaking in key emerging economies. As in OECD countries, there is a notable lack of CDR regulation and innovation to enable the scale of CDR required in the short- and medium term. Second, we identify that repurposing policies is a key type of emerging CDR policymaking in these countries targeting CDR methods in the land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector. We find that the repurposing efforts strengthen the level of regulation and innovation for this group of methods. Third, we explore three building blocks (regional differentiation, delay of upscaling, sustainability thresholds) of plausible CDR deployment narratives that could help bridge integrated assessment models and comparative case studies in future research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14693062.2024.2353148","authors":["Felix Schenuit","Elina Brutschin","Oliver Geden","Fei Guo","Aniruddh Mohan","Ana Carolina Oliveira Fiorini","Sonakshi Saluja","Roberto Schaeffer","Keywan Riahi"],"tags":["Software deployment","Carbon dioxide","Stock (firearms)","Natural resource economics","China"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14693062.2024.2353148","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405544116","name":"A novel approach to sustainable behavior enhancement through AI-driven carbon footprint assessment and real-time analytics","source":"openalex","abstract":"This research introduces an Artificial Intelligence-driven mobile application designed to help users calculate and reduce their Carbon Footprint (CFP).

This study bridges this gap by evaluating the modular integrated construction (MiC) method through an embodied carbon assessment of the Kai Tak Community Isolation Facility. Using comprehensive project data from China State Construction (HK) Limited, the research conducts a comparative analysis between the actual emissions of the MiC method and those of a hypothetical conventional construction approach. Quantitative analysis reveals that MiC achieves a 20.7% reduction in embodied carbon, primarily due to shortened construction timelines, decreased waste generation, and optimized material usage. This significant reduction suggests substantial potential for decreasing the construction industry's carbon footprint.

This study investigates the relationship between Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) changes, Land Surface Temperature (LST), and the carbon footprint (CF) from building energy consumption in Doha, Qatar. Specifically, the study addresses the gap in understanding how LULC and LST interact to influence CF in arid urban areas. The research utilizes electricity consumption data from residential, commercial, and government buildings in conjunction with remote sensing data (Landsat 8) and climatical data (ERA5) to estimate LST and vegetation health. The Multiregional Input-Output (MRIO) model was employed to calculate the CF from direct and indirect energy consumption. At the same time, the support vector machine (SVM) was used to classify LULC into urban areas, green spaces, inland water bodies, and barren lands. To further investigate the spatial heterogeneity of the relationships between LST and climate variables, Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) was utilized. This study hypothesizes that changes in LULC and LST will significantly increase the CF of buildings, especially during peak summer months in arid regions, while increased vegetation will help reduce this impact. CF hotspots are expected in areas with higher LST and less green space. The findings reveal significant correlations between higher LST, reduced green spaces, and increased CF in residential and commercial sectors. Villas and commercial buildings exhibited the highest CF during the summer due to increased cooling demands, with noticeable CF hotspots in specific urban areas. The study underscores the role of green spaces in mitigating both LST and CF, with the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) showing an inverse relationship to CF. Policy implications point to the urgent need for integrating urban greening initiatives, enhancing energy efficiency in building design, and revising urban planning policies to address the challenges posed by LST and rising energy demands in arid regions. Recommendations include incentivizing the adoption of energy-efficient building designs and improving vegetation cover to enhance urban resilience in arid climates. This study offers critical insights for policymakers, urban planners, and environmental managers aiming to balance urban growth with sustainable energy use and climate resilience.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s41748-024-00550-6","authors":["Ammar Abulibdeh","Saied Pirasteh","Davood Mafi-Gholami","Murat Küçükvar","Nuri C.

During pyrolysis, a remote Zn vapor flux simultaneously preserves the precursor's nanosheet morphology by suppressing Co nanoparticle aggregation and catalytically grows dense carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays. This process yields an integrated 0D–1D–2D hierarchical carbon architecture with high surface area and graphitization. As a self‐supporting supercapacitor electrode, the optimized material delivers a specific capacitance of 360 F g −1 , excellent rate capability (53% retention at 50 A g −1 ), and robust cycling stability. Mechanistic studies and density functional theory calculations confirm the pivotal role of Zn vapor in modulating Co catalysis for morphology control and reveal a synergy between heteroatoms and cobalt that optimizes K + storage kinetics.

Algae and bacteria interactively underpin RDOC formation. However, on the long‐term scales, the influence of their persistent interactions close to in situ state on ocean RDOC dynamics and accumulation remains unclear, limiting our understanding of the oceanic RDOC pool formation and future trends under global change. We show that a Synechococcus ‐bacteria interaction model system viable over 720 days gradually accumulated high DOC concentrations up to 84 mg L −1 . Concurrently, the DOC inertness increased with the RDOC ratio reaching > 50%. The identified Synechococcus ‐bacteria‐driven RDOC molecules shared similarity with over half of those from pelagic ocean DOC. Importantly, we provide direct genetic and metabolite evidence that alongside the continuous transformation of algal carbon by bacteria to generate RDOC, Synechococcus itself also directly synthesized and released RDOC molecules, representing a neglected RDOC source with ~0.2–1 Gt y −1 in the ocean. However, we found that although ocean warming (+4°C) can promote algal and bacterial growth and DOC release, it destabilizes and reduces RDOC reservoirs, jeopardizing the ocean's carbon sequestration capacity. This study unveils the previously underestimated yet significant role of algae and long‐term algae‐bacteria interactions in ocean carbon sequestration and its vulnerability to ocean warming.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17570","authors":["Hanshuang Zhao","Zenghu Zhang","Shailesh Nair","Hongmei Li","Chen He","Quan Shi","Qiang Zheng","Ruanhong Cai","Genming Luo","Shucheng Xie","Nianzhi Jiao","Yongyu Zhang"],"tags":["Carbon sequestration","Environmental science","Cyanobacteria","Algae","Carbon cycle"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17570","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4399926395","name":"Public acceptance of biomass for bioenergy: The need for feedstock differentiation and communicating a waste utilization frame","source":"openalex","abstract":"Climate change calls for an energy transition utilizing all available renewable energy resources, such as bioenergy from biomass. However, the use of biomass is debated in society, and public acceptance is low or lacking. This survey-based research demonstrates for the first time that public acceptance of bioenergy hinges on (a) the type of biomass feedstock used to generate bioenergy and (b) the perceptions of the effectiveness of bioenergy in contributing to the energy transition. A survey-embedded vignette experiment (with 409 Dutch participants) shows that public acceptance of the biomass feedstocks 'wood' and 'energy crops' is significantly lower than the acceptance of 'organic waste' and 'manure' for bioenergy. These results indicate that the biomass feedstock type should be more carefully considered and specified in future research and communication on public acceptance of bioenergy. Thematic coding and bootstrapped mediation analyses identified the perceived effectivity of bioenergy in contributing to the energy transition as a prime explanatory (i.e., mediating) variable for acceptance. A subsequent message-framing communication experiment (with 414 Dutch participants) demonstrates that emphasizing biomass feedstock as a form of waste utilization is a frame that helps to increase public acceptance of bioenergy. The waste utilization frame notably improves the perceptions of the effectiveness of bioenergy as contributing to the energy transition for the two lesser accepted biomass feedstocks. The emphasis on biomass feedstock type as a form of waste treatment can improve strategic communications on bioenergy and foster wider public acceptance of bioenergy in the transition toward a more sustainable energy system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2024.114670","authors":["Mathilde van Dijk","Robert P.G.

However, the use of platinum which is a rare and expensive counter electrode (CE) hinders the widespread application of DSSCs, necessitating the use of cheap, abundant, and efficient materials. The review therefore focuses on carbon-based nanomaterials specifically carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene as CEs in DSSCs. The CE plays a vital role in regenerating the redox couple, and its charge transfer resistance (Rct) should ideally be 1 Ω cm² for optimal performance. Carbon nanotubes comprising single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs), and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are mainly prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The SWCNTs have achieved an efficiency of 7.79%, comparable to platinum electrodes, and this was due to the morphology, which influenced the redox mediator regeneration but also reduced the Rct. In addition, graphene with high transparency (97.7%), large specific surface area (2630 m2 g− 1), excellent thermal conductivity (3000 W m− 1 K− 1), and good carrier mobility properties (10,000 cm2 V− 1 S− 1) have also been applied. In this, the Graphene nanosheets demonstrated a 6.81% efficiency, comparable to platinum (7.59%) due to a high open circuit voltage (Voc), which accounts for the reduction of iodide/triiodide redox couple.

Compared to steel reinforcement, it features two substantial benefits: It is not sensitive to corrosion, and has an enormously increased tensile strength. In contrast, carbon reinforcement is sensitive to lateral pressure and lacks the property of strain hardening. As a first step of establishing carbon reinforced concrete as a new building composite material, carbon reinforcement has basically served to replace the state‐of‐the‐art steel reinforcement. This target led to pioneering findings with respect to determining the material properties of the composite and developing advanced individual components. However, barely substituting steel by carbon does not allow to fully utilize the carbon's benefits while its disadvantageous properties reveal the limits of this approach. Instead, novel design principles are required to meet the material's nature aiming at appropriately using its beneficial properties. Currently, new construction principles are being researched for high‐performance building material combinations such as textile and carbon reinforced concrete. This paper provides an overview of baselines in the preliminary stages of this research. The overview includes history, inspiration, concrete matrices, non‐metallic reinforcement, structural elements, modeling, production, tomography, and sustainability. The objective of the study is to provide a baseline for the envisaged development of principles for future construction: radically new concepts for the design, modeling, construction, manufacturing, and use of sustainable, resource‐efficient building elements made of mineral building materials with the aim of entirely benefiting from the materials' potential.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cend.202200008","authors":["Manfred Curbach","Josef Hegger","Jan Bielak","Christopher Schmidt","Sven Bosbach","Silke Scheerer","Martin Claßen","Jaan‐Willem Simon","Hans‐Gerd Maas","Anya Vollpracht","Andreas Koch","Lars Hahn","Marko Butler","Birgit Beckmann","Viviane Adam","Chokri Cherif","Rostislav Chudoba","Thomas Gries","Edeltraud Günther","Michael Kaliske","Sven Klinkel","Stefan Löhnert","Thea Lautenschläger","Thomas Matschei","Viktor Mechtcherine","Wolfgang E.

The results show that the study area will realize carbon peaking in 2030 under the baseline scenario, with the carbon emission of 4146 million tons. Under the high-emission scenario, the study area will realize carbon peaking in 2035, with the carbon emission of 4372 million tons. Under the low-carbon energy-saving scenario, the study area will realize carbon peaking in 2025, with the carbon emission of 3909 million tons. The entire study area cannot achieve carbon neutrality in 2060 under the three scenarios. Under the baseline and high-emission scenarios, only Qinghai and Sichuan can realize carbon neutrality by 2060, and under the low-carbon energy-saving scenario, Sichuan, Qinghai, Shaanxi, and Gansu will achieve carbon neutrality on time. This research indicates that attaining carbon peaking and carbon neutrality can be accomplished by implementing strategies such as encouraging the growth of clean energy, managing energy usage, refining the industrial structure, and strengthening the ecosystem’s carbon sink.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su16156553","authors":["Jiayi Jiang","Shulin Chen"],"tags":["China","Structural basin","Carbon fibers","Carbon neutrality","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su16156553","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402664750","name":"Artificial neural network based forecasting of diesel engine performance and emissions utilizing waste cooking biodiesel","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Ecological and environmental problems resulting from fossil fuels are due to the harmful emissions released into the atmosphere. The rising interest in searching for alternative fuels like biodiesel is growing to solve these problems. Waste cooking oil (WCO) is transformed into methyl ester and combined with biodiesel in percentages of 25, 50, 75, and 100%. Research is done on the impacts of methyl ester blends on engine performance and emissions. Compared to diesel, the methyl ester combination showed 25% lower brake power and 24% loss in thermal efficiency at maximum load and 1500 rpm. However, diesel fuel showed 23% lower specific fuel consumption increase than biodiesel. Compared to diesel, methyl ester exhibits 15% lower air-fuel ratio and 4% volumetric efficiency. Biodiesel lowers CO, HC, and smoke concentrations by 12, 44, and 48%, respectively, compared to diesel. Biodiesel emits 23% higher NOx at 1500 rpm and 100% engine load. To predict the emissions and performance of different percentages of biodiesel at engine speed variation, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is presented. ANN modeling minimizes labor, time, and finances and uses nonlinear data. Predictions were produced about the brake output power, specific fuel consumption, thermal efficiency, air-fuel ratio, volumetric efficiency, and emissions of smoke, CO, HC, and NOx as a function of engine speed and blend ratio. All correlation coefficients (r) over 0.99 and $$R^{2}$$ R 2 values were beyond 0.98 for all variables. There were low values of MSE, MAPE, and MSLE with significant predictive ability.

The reaction route was divided into two steps: calcium extraction and carbonization. In order to achieve efficient extraction of utilizable calcium, we selected NH4Ac as the extraction agent, which has the advantage of buffer protection and environmental friendliness due to being an acetate radical. The extraction efficiency of utilizable calcium exceeded 90% under the conditions of L/S 20:1 and NH4+/Ca2+ 2:1. In the carbonization process, the crystal forms of CaCO3 synthesized by direct carbonation, acid extraction, and ammonium salt were characterized. The formation mechanism of vaterite in ammonium solution and the influence of impurities (Al3+, Mg2+) on the crystal transformation were revealed.

Many nations are grappling with the consequences of the overabundance of carbon emissions from a wide range of destructive human activities, which is the primary driver of air pollution, global warming, and warming. Thus, while some countries are squandering their riches, others are making great strides to keep the environment clean and green so that future generations may thrive. National governments and policymakers are now focusing a lot of energy on addressing the dangers posed by environmental concerns and the threat of climate change. A very contentious issue in recent years has been the link between environmental change and tourism and its vulnerability. This study focuses on the impact of fluctuating visitor numbers on greenhouse gas emissions, the primary gas responsible for the acceleration of global warming and other environmental changes. Therefore, we look at how the most visited countries' carbon emissions have changed due to increased tourism. The ecological effects of tourism on a regional scale are investigated using a panel data analysis spanning the years 2001-2018 in China, including the top 80 countries. The best-modified assessment methodologies determine the overall, direct, and indirect impact of tourist spending on carbon emissions. The findings demonstrate that CO2 emissions might be reduced by environmental regulation, urbanization, and tourist revenue and that they could be increased through economic expansion, population, and tourism. Due to this distinction, tourists' overall impact is much more harmful than their direct impact. In addition, a U-shape is formed by the direct effects of carbon emissions and a growing economy, and vice versa. Several factors impact environmental regulation, including population density, population growth, pollution, and GDP growth. Spending on infrastructure development and economic expansion also considerably mitigates the impacts of tourism and environmental alteration. The results reveal that a nation's emissions often rise with the expansion of its tourism industry. Still, they begin to decline after certain levels and show that the link between the two has important policy implications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e35030","authors":["HeSong Gan","Dandan Zhu","Muhammad Waqas"],"tags":["Tourism","China","Panel data","Panel discussion","Carbon fibers"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e35030","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415722169","name":"Thermal Energy Storage Technology Roadmap for Decarbonising Medium-Temperature Heat Processes—A Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"This review presents a technology roadmap for Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems operating in the medium-temperature range of 100–300 °C, a critical window that accounts for approximately 37% of industrial process heat demand in Europe.

Currently, the primary methods for generating the necessary reactants for ammonia production involve steam methane reforming (SMR) and cryogenic air separation unit (CASU), while the Haber-Bosch process converts these reactants into ammonia. However, the SMR process releases substantial amounts of CO2, making it imperative to employ an efficient and cost-effective CO2 capture technology to mitigate emissions. This investigation focuses on evaluating the cryogenic CO2 capture (CCC) process for blue ammonia production and provides a thorough economic analysis, estimating both the initial investment costs and operational expenses involved in producing blue ammonia. The results indicated that the CCC process can capture 90% of the CO2 content in the flue gas emitted by the SMR, incurring an energy penalty of 0.724 MJe/kgCO2 while capturing CO2 in the liquid phase with purities exceeding 99.9%. In this case, the estimated CO2 capture costs would be 18.05, 45.1, and 16.65 USD/ton in 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively. This represents a 40% reduction compared to the CO2 capture costs associated with conventional amine-based technology. The results of this study indicate that the annual electricity costs for ammonia production increase by 38.5% and 64.2% when employing the CCC and amine-based processes, respectively. This investigation employed an isothermal reactor for ammonia synthesis, using the heat from the exothermic reaction in a water ammonia absorption refrigeration cycle (ARC) to condense and purify ammonia. The results show that the ARC system can effectively condense ammonia at −6 °C, producing a liquid ammonia stream with 99.3% purity. This leads to a 95% reduction in power consumption compared to a vapor compression refrigeration cycle (VCRC). Consequently, this method has the potential to decrease the annual operational costs for ammonia production by 2.92%, 2.69%, and 3.13% in 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively.

The work represents the first phase of a multi-phased development approach outlined by the United States Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Carbon Storage Assurance and Facility Enterprise (CarbonSAFE) program meant to develop carbon storage sites capable of permanently storing 50 million metric tonnes of CO2, or greater, injected over a typical facility life of 20 to 30 years. This report represents the culmination of work performed under C2SAFE and outlines a phased implementation plan for large-scale, industrial carbon capture and permanent storage in California’s SSJV. The report is meant to be a standalone document and as such provides high-level summaries of all tasks of the project, but is also meant to complement the other three topical reports issued by the project – reports referenced herein. The study considered multiple scenarios including an east-side storage facility, a west-side storage facility, and potential multi-site storage facilities. The east-side storage facility is to be located at Clean Energy Systems, Inc.’s Kimberlina Power Plant, or nearby, and the west-side facility will be located at the California Resources Corporation’s (CRC’s) Elk Hills oil field. The majority of carbon emissions are planned to be captured from existing sources and transported to the selected and verified storage site(s). Capture from the single closest source to the eastern storage facility and the sources within the Elk Hills field would meet the CarbonSAFE storage goal of 50 million tonnes. The study has shown there is sufficient storage capacity to meet this requirement and more; thus, capture from any of the numerous additional large nearby sources would substantially leverage the CarbonSAFE investment. A comparison of preliminary CO2 capture, transportation, and storage costs to economic value and incentives in the state shows current market conditions make it economically feasible to develop large-scale industrial storage sites in California’s SSJV. The business case for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in California’s SSJV appears economically viable today for large CO2 point sources involved in the production of transportation fuels, such as oilfield cogeneration units and steam boilers. The overall levelized CCS cost is estimated at roughly 125 per tonne of CO2, which includes CO2 amine-solvent post-combustion capture, transportation, and storage. The levelized CO2 capture cost is based on today’s technology, with no future cost reduction factored in for technology improvement. The sum of the value of incentives and revenue from California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits (discounted roughly 20% from their current transaction value), sale of California cap-and-trade emission allowances, and Section 45Q tax credits—either for saline storage or the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) credit plus CO2 sales revenue—is about 165/tonne-CO2. The economic viability of CCS for Natural Gas Combined Cycle (NGCC) power plants in the SSJV is more site-specific. A plant providing power solely to the electric grid, if it added CCS, should be eligible for Section 45Q tax credits and could sell its excess cap-and-trade emission allowances, but it would not generate LCFS credits. Using the cost and incentive values detailed in this report, it would not be economical for such a plant to add CCS today, barring other considerations. An NGCC plant within an oilfield (e.g., CRC Elk Hills and NRG Sunrise) that provides power to the oilfield as well as to the grid should receive “partial credit” in terms of generating LCFS credits if it added CCS (pro-rated for the fraction of power going to the oilfield).

Porous carbons derived from biobased materials, particularly waste byproducts, offer a viable solution for selective CO2 adsorption from large-scale industrial sources, potentially mitigating atmospheric CO2 emissions. In this study, we developed highly porous carbons from lemon peel waste through a two-step process, consisting of temperature pretreatment (500 °C) followed by chemical activation by KOH at 850 °C. The largest specific surface area (2821 m2/g), total pore volume (1.39 cm3/g), and micropore volume (0.70 cm3/g) were obtained at the highest KOH-to-carbon ratio of 4. In contrast, the sample activated with a KOH-to-carbon ratio of 2 demonstrated the greatest micropore distribution. This activated biocarbon exhibited superior CO2 adsorption capacity, reaching 5.69 mmol/g at 0 °C and 100 kPa.

As a result, only biogenic and mixed carbon from the ambient air can be considered genuinely sustainable within the Earth’s (fast) carbon cycle. Mixed carbon streams, e.g., from waste recycling, fall into a gray area. The same applies to certain process-related emissions that originally descend from fossil fuel energy.

While significant progress has been made in hydrogen production, storage, and utilization, there remains a crucial need to assess its economic viability and integration into current energy systems and to reduce its emission footprint. This review delves into the prospects and challenges of green hydrogen deployment into the renewable energy mix, with a particular focus on cost reduction approaches, storage limitations, transportation, scalability, advancements in electrolysis, and diverse sectoral applications. By analyzing recent technological developments and policy frameworks, this review contributes a thorough evaluation of green hydrogen’s viability to achieve net-zero emissions.

Direct air capture (DAC) is an engineered CDR process with substantial removal potential but also one with clear technical limits and opportunities for enhancement. One such improvement is the optimization of the material, enabling the separation. To investigate this from a quantitative perspective, this study evaluates DAC performance when replacing existing sorbents with theoretical ones designed to optimize the process. In order to do so, the adsorption isotherm parameters of CO 2 for different isotherm models were optimized along with process design variables to minimize energy and maximize productivity. Combining equilibrium and rate-based models, our analysis offers insights from thermodynamic, reactor, and economic perspectives. The results show that optimal sorbents have the potential to significantly improve the DAC performance obtained with existing sorbents, for example, Lewatit VP-OC-1065 and MIL-101, especially in terms of energy consumption and costs. This requires that some critical sorbent characteristics are met: moderate cost (e.g., <30$/kg), long lifetime (e.g., >2 years), and a linear driving force in line with other gas separation processes (e.g., k LDF > 0.001 s –1 ). Furthermore, our findings highlight that optimizing productivity and energy consumption enables the identification of minimum-cost configurations for DAC. This work underscores the importance of tailored sorbent design in advancing DAC toward cost-effective, efficient CO 2 removal solutions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c01156","authors":["Alexa Grimm","Gert Jan Kramer","Matteo Gazzani"],"tags":["Ideal (ethics)","Adsorption","Process engineering","Environmental science","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c01156","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391407133","name":"Cardiac Substrate Utilization and Relationship to Invasive Exercise Hemodynamic Parameters in HFpEF","source":"openalex","abstract":"The authors conducted transcardiac blood sampling in healthy subjects and subjects with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) to compare cardiac metabolite and lipid substrate use.

RESULTS: Land sink efficiency has been decreasing during 1957-1990 because of the increased emissions from fossil fuel. After the effect of the Mt. Pinatubo eruption diminished (after 1994), the land sink efficiency firstly increased before 2009 and then began to decrease again after 2009. This reversal around 2009 is mostly attributed to changes in land sinks in tropical regions in response to climate variations.

In this context, different philosophies exist. A classic debate, referred to as “boomsters vs. doomsters”, asks whether humanity's drive for technological innovations will mitigate climate change, or whether it is justifiable to compromise our living standards, affluence, and consumption patterns. A Danish research project has elucidated this topic through cross-collaboration between historians and engineers by quantifying the personal consumption-based carbon footprint (CF) of Danish citizens, taking into account the consumption segments of food, transport, housing, and furniture. Quantification is conducted through life-cycle assessments (LCA) of five decadal timesteps during the period 1860–2020. As only one other study conducting historical (retrospective) LCA with an extensive time horizon was identified in the scientific literature, our own study provides novel insights by exploring possible approaches in this field. Historical LCA has many similarities with prospective (future) LCA, providing inspiration to the approach. The main challenge of the study is to adjust both foreground and background systems in the inventory modelling phase. Data is largely based on national statistics, books, museum case studies, expert testimonials, and proxies such as using the steam turbine as an indicator of improvements to technological efficiency over time. The results show a slightly declining carbon footprint in the period 1860–1930, from 7.7 to 6.6 t CO2-eq per capita annually. Unsurprisingly the footprint peak is not found until the 1970s, at 11 t, reducing to 5.4 t in the 2010s. The residential energy consumption segment contributes half of this CF, followed by transportation by road and rail. Discussion of the results shows that whether technology can mitigate the impact from the increase in affluence depends on the specific consumption segment. For housing combined with residential energy, the results show that technology can mitigate increases in CF, despite the comforts of home having only increased over time. For the transportation segment, however, the past century has seen an eightfold increase in CF due to the pronounced evolution of personal modes of transportation. The findings suggests that the “boomsters vs. doomsters” debate is not so black and white after all. We further suggest that historical LCA, in tandem with prospective LCA, can provide valuable insights for decision support to facilitate a green transition and hence a green future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spc.2024.03.014","authors":["Simon Bruhn","Styrmir Gislason","Trine Røgild","Matilde Andreasen","Frederik Ditlevsen","Julie Larsen","Nana Sønderholm","Sissel Fossat","Morten Birkved"],"tags":["Carbon footprint","Perspective (graphical)","Environmental ethics","Regional science","Engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spc.2024.03.014","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402191589","name":"Characteristics of Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) Ash as Carbon Dioxide Storage Medium and Development of Construction Materials by Recycling Carbonated Ash","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study validates the attributes of the mineral carbonation process employing circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) ash, which is generated from thermal power plants, as a medium for carbon storage.

The formation of these particles is truly groundbreaking, as direct tuning of nanoparticle affinity was achieved by simple and careful precursor selection of a protein, which has the targeting characteristic of interest. We hypothesized that the retention of the original protein's peptides on the nanoparticle surface provides the CDs with some of the function of the precursor protein, enabling selective binding to the protein's receptor. This was confirmed with FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) data and subsequent affinity-based cell assays. These transferrin (Tf)-derived CDs have been shown to possess an affinity for CD71, a cancer biomarker that is ubiquitously expressed in nearly every cancer cell line due to its central role mediating the uptake of cellular iron. The CDs were tested using the human leukemia cell line HL60 and demonstrated the selective targeting of CD71 and specific triggering of transferrin-mediated endocytosis via clathrin-coated pits.

However, for the widespread application of hydrogen energy, it is necessary to search new technical solutions for both its production and storage. A promising effective and cost-efficient method of hydrogen generation and storage can be the use of solid materials, including nanomaterials in which chemical or physical adsorption of hydrogen occurs. Focusing on the recommendations of the DOE, the search is underway for materials with high gravimetric capacity more than 6.5% wt% and in which sorption and release of hydrogen occurs at temperatures from −20 to +100 °C and normal pressure. This review aims to summarize research on hydrogen generation and storage using silicon nanostructures and silicon composites. Hydrogen generation has been observed in Si nanoparticles, porous Si, and Si nanowires. Regardless of their size and surface chemistry, the silicon nanocrystals interact with water/alcohol solutions, resulting in their complete oxidation, the hydrolysis of water, and the generation of hydrogen. In addition, porous Si nanostructures exhibit a large internal specific surface area covered by SiHx bonds. A key advantage of porous Si nanostructures is their ability to release molecular hydrogen through the thermal decomposition of SiHx groups or in interaction with water/alkali.

Accurate prediction of the temperature, pressure, and physical properties of CO2 fluid within the wellbore is essential for its safe sequestration. In this study, a coupled temperature–pressure-phase prediction model for CO2 injection wells is established based on the conservation laws of mass, energy, and momentum, combined with the PR-TWU equation of state. The maximum errors in temperature and pressure for the CO2 injection case well are only 4.57% and 2.05%, respectively, verifying the accuracy of the model. The distribution and variation in temperature, pressure, and physical property parameters in the CO2 injection wellbore are systematically investigated. The results show that with increasing well depth, the temperature, pressure, and flow velocity of CO2 fluid exhibit an increasing trend, while its density and viscosity gradually decrease. During CO2 injection, the well depth at which the CO2 phase transition occurs is closely related to the critical temperature of CO2 (31.04 °C). Wellbore pressure is mainly controlled by injection pressure, whereas injection temperature and injection rate are the key parameters affecting wellbore temperature and CO2 phase transition. The findings can provide a theoretical basis for the optimization of injection parameters and the integrity evaluation of CO2 sequestration injection wells.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr14050778","authors":["Ning Liang","Chun-Ai Ma","Li Wang"],"tags":["Wellbore","Petroleum engineering","Injection well","Viscosity","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-27","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr14050778","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391629572","name":"An effective predictor of the dynamic operation of latent heat thermal energy storage units based on a non-linear autoregressive network with exogenous inputs","source":"openalex","abstract":"Thermal networks require thermal energy storage (TES) provisions for balancing thermal energy sources with variable consumer demand. Harvesting ice is an economical option for latent heat TES systems in cooling networks given the wide availability of the storage medium. This paper presents an artificial intelligence (AI) based model to monitor the state-of-charge (SoC) and the outlet temperature of the heat transfer fluid (To) of an ice tank under fluctuating operating conditions. The AI model is a non-linear autoregressive network with exogenous inputs (NARX) that was trained and tested with datasets obtained from experimental measurements of a practical ice tank and a physics-based model of the tank. The NARX model was sensitised with physics-informed attributes to recognise different heating and cooling zones. The model exhibits a high accuracy in predicting the operating conditions of the ice tank when benchmarked against both experimental measurements of a practical tank and outputs from the physics-based model. For instance, it achieves R2 values of 0.9943 and 0.9842 for SoC and To, with root mean square errors of 1.73% for SoC and 0.3161°C for To. The NARX model is 86% faster than its physics-based counterpart and its implementation requires limited computational resources—making it suitable as a standalone estimator for the TES operation and the accelerated simulation of energy systems containing latent heat TES units. Furthermore, given the limited availability of NARX models in open-source libraries, the presented NARX model and relevant datasets have been made available alongside this paper to contribute to open-science in energy research and the broader AI community.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2024.122697","authors":["Pranaynil Saikia","Héctor Bastida","Carlos E.

First, the principle of grid inertia support of BESS is analyzed, and the typical sustaining current profiles in ISWC are obtained. Then, the distinguished battery impedance characteristic in ISWC is experimentally obtained. To capture the special impedance characteristic, a resistor-capacitor (RC) branch with negative resistor is added to the 1-RCmodel (Thevenin model). Moreover, based on the difference in impedance characteristics between the conventionalRCbranch and the negative resistorRCbranch, this article proposes a parameter separation method based on impedance characteristics to obtain an improved ECM. A comparative analysis reveals that the improved ECM outperforms conventional models, achieving an average relative error below 0.06% compared to experimental results. The improved ECM offers a simple structure, reduced computational burden, and enables rapid analysis of battery state in ISWC.

To this end, this paper first establishes an IES model that includes electricity, heat, and gas. To reduce carbon emissions, a ladder-type carbon trading mechanism is introduced while adding low-carbon technologies such as carbon capture devices and power-to-gas conversion. Secondly, a bilateral IDR mechanism centered on the load aggregator (LA) is proposed, and a multi-agent operation model including IES, LA, and users is established. The IDR subsidy price is dynamically determined through a two-level Stackelberg game model involving IES, LA, and users. Then, through KKT conditions and the Big M method, the two-level game model is turned into an IES-LA game model, which is solved using a combination of the White Shark Optimization method and the Gurobi solver. The final simulation results show that the scheduling model can fully reflect the time value of IDR resources, and the IES cost is decreased by USD 152.22, while LA and user benefits are increased by USD 54.61 and USD 31.85.

Our study has revealed that wetland plant AGB is greater in equatorial regions but BGB is highest in polar areas, and lowest in arid and equatorial zones. For plant species, the BGB of the Poales is higher than the AGB but Caryophyllales, Cyperales and Lamiales have higher AGB. Moreover, our findings indicate that BGB plays a more significant role in contributing to the organic carbon pool compared to AGB. Notably, when BGB is less than 1 t C ha−1, even slight changes in biomass can have a significant impact on the organic carbon pool. And we observed that the SOC increases by 5.7 t C ha−1 when the BGB content is low, indicating that the SOC is more sensitive to changes in biomass under such circumstances. Our study provides a basis for the global response of AGB and BGB of wetland plants to organic carbon.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jpe/rtae017","authors":["Yueyan Pan","Jiakai Liu","Mingxiang Zhang","Peisheng Huang","Matt Hipesy","Liyi Dai","Ziwen Ma","Fan Zhang","Zhenming Zhang"],"tags":["Wetland","Biomass (ecology)","Environmental science","Ecosystem","Soil carbon"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jpe/rtae017","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4388553398","name":"Exploring Cutting-Edge Approaches to Reduce Africa's Carbon Footprint through Innovative Technology Dissemination","source":"openalex","abstract":"This paper investigates the possibility of revolutionizing Africa's carbon footprint through innovative technology dissemination strategies for GHG emission reduction. It highlights the importance of harnessing renewable energy sources to mitigate climate change and promote sustainable development in Africa. This paper also examined several technology diffusion theories in order to unleash Africa's climate-smart potential by tying them to the recommended techniques for dealing with technological diffusion concerns. These theories varied from diffusion of innovation theory to planned behaviour theory. By analysing these theories, it was found that the most appropriate technology diffusion theory for the assessment of innovative technology dissemination strategies for GHG emission reduction in Africa would be the Diffusion of Innovations Theory. This is due to the theory's emphasis on the dissemination and adoption of new ideas, technologies, or innovations by people or groups within a social system. It would give useful insights into the variables influencing the adoption and dissemination of novel technology for reducing GHG emissions in Africa. The paper also discusses the challenges and barriers faced in the diffusion of renewable energy technologies across the continent while proposing innovative strategies to overcome these obstacles and unlock Africa's untapped climate-smart potential. These strategies include promoting policy and regulatory frameworks that incentivize investment in renewable energy, fostering partnerships between governments, private sector entities, and international organizations to support technology transfer and capacity building, and implementing financial mechanisms such as green bonds and carbon pricing to mobilize funding for renewable energy projects. These proposed strategies were also used to develop seven policies required for innovative technology dissemination strategies for GHG emission reduction in Africa. These policies aim to address the unique challenges faced by African countries in adopting and implementing innovative technologies for GHG emission reduction. By focusing on capacity building, financial incentives, and knowledge sharing, these strategies seek to promote the widespread adoption of sustainable technologies across the continent. They emphasize the importance of collaboration between governments, private sector entities, and international organizations to ensure the successful implementation and long-term sustainability of these policies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17737/tre.2024.10.1.00163","authors":["Samuel Chukwujindu Nwokolo","Eyime Eyime","Anthony Obiwulu","Julie C.

A bibliometric analysis was conducted using 968 publications from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection (2003–2024). CiteSpace was applied to map publication trends, cocitation networks, and keyword clusters. To move beyond descriptive mapping, the findings were interpreted through established policy analysis perspectives, including the advocacy coalition framework (ACF) and multilevel perspective (MLP) on sociotechnical transitions. The field has progressed through three phases: exploratory (2003–2008), expansion (2009–2019), and rapid growth (2020–present), reflecting the global diffusion of net‐zero commitments. Research has converged on five policy dimensions: normative frameworks, macroeconomic support, regulatory instruments, financial incentives, and technoeconomic analysis (TEA). Emerging themes include project‐level cost–benefit analysis, integration with hydrogen and bioenergy systems, and standardization of monitoring and verification protocols. However, gaps persist in Global South representation, cross‐sector collaboration, and attention to social and institutional factors. This review demonstrates that CCUS policy research is transitioning from descriptive assessments toward operational governance support.

Therefore, this research aimed to generate MOF/CNFs composite materials to improve the electrochemical properties of MOF materials and apply them to the field of electrochemical sensing. This experiment was based on the preparation of straight unidirectional CNFs by an electrospinning method at 2000 RPM. The original method of preparing zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8) was improved and ZIF-8 was uniformly dispersed on the surface of CNFs to form a ZIF-8/CNF composite with a fiber diameter of about 0.10 to 0.35 µm. The specific surface area of the CNFs was about 42.28 m2/g, while that of the ZIF-8/CNF composite was about 999.82 m2/g.

However, the fluctuating cost of vanadium minerals and risky supply chains have hampered their implementation, while OFBs could be prepared from renewable raw materials. A critical component of flow batteries is the electrode material, which can determine the power density and energy efficiency. Yet, and in contrast to VFBs, studies on electrodes tailored for OFBs are scarce. Hence, in this work, we propose the modification of commercial carbon felts with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and poly(ethylene glycol) for the 2,7-AQDS redox couple and to preliminarily assess its effects on the efficiency of a 2,7-AQDS/ferrocyanide flow battery. Results are compared to those of a VFB to evaluate if the benefits of the modification are transferable to OFBs. The modification of carbon felts with surface oxygen groups introduced by the presence of rGO enhanced both its hydrophilicity and surface area, favoring the catalytic activity toward VFB and OFB reactions. The results are promising, given the improved behavior of the modified electrodes.

The Finite Volume Method and Enthalpy-Porosity method are employed to simulate the melting process. Stearic acid is used as the PCM material, while water serves as the heat transfer fluid. Eight different geometric configurations are modelled in the LHTES system: base case, horizontal fins, vertical fins, helical fins, horizontal tape, vertical tape, twisted tape and helical fins with twisted tape. The results show that within the time range of 0 and 29 min, the combined configuration of helical fins with twisted tape consistently demonstrates the fastest melting process. After 29 min, the configuration with vertical fins exhibits a marginally faster melting process than the combined configuration of helical fins with twisted tape. The configurations involving tapes also contribute to accelerated melting, although to a lesser extent than those with fins. Particularly, twisted tape proves highly effective in facilitating faster melting. The complete melting process times for configurations with vertical fins, helical fins, and combined helical fins with twisted tape are 38.7 %, 23.5 % and 32.7 % faster compared to the base case which is ∼69 min. Among the configurations, using tapes results in higher flow resistance and surface area compared to the base case. The attractive features of these configurations make them ideal for creating efficient and space-saving energy storage systems. This study provides crucial insights into essential heat and mass transfer processes, which can be leveraged to develop advanced LHTES systems for enhanced performance and sustainable energy solutions. • Fin and tape cases enhance the liquid fraction and energy storage performance. • PCM melting process modelled using Enthalpy-Porosity method. • The stearic acid is used as PCM material, and water is used as the heat transfer fluid. • Fastest liquid fraction with Combined helical Fins: Consistent speed up to 28.9 min. • Tape configurations also contribute to accelerated liquid fraction, but less than fin configurations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2024.112678","authors":["Abdullah Masoud Ali","Audrius Bagdanavičius","Edward Barbour","Daniel L.

To comply with the low-carbon society policy of the Royal Thai Government, a high target of achievement in alternative energy share of 20.40% in total energy consumption in 2022 has been proposed.

Finally, the low carbon socity scenario for the emission abatement policy is introduced to mitigate emissions.

Decisions on expanding production in the region legally depend on assessments of the climate impact of new growth. Here, we collect airborne observations and combine them with previous surveys and inventories to estimate the climate impact of current field operations. We evaluate all major on-site greenhouse gas emissions, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from combustion, and methane from losses and venting. Using these findings, we estimate the climate impact per unit of energy of produced oil and gas (the carbon intensity). We find high methane emissions (0.60 Tg/y [0.41 to 0.81, 95% confidence interval]) exceeding inventories. This elevates the average CI of the basin to 5.3 g CO 2 e/MJ [4.1 to 6.7] (100-y horizon) over twice the inventories. The CI across the Gulf varies, with deep water production exhibiting a low CI dominated by combustion emissions (1.1 g CO 2 e/MJ), while shallow federal and state waters exhibit an extraordinarily high CI (16 and 43 g CO 2 e/MJ) primarily driven by methane emissions from central hub facilities (intermediaries for gathering and processing). This shows that production in shallow waters, as currently operated, has outsized climate impact. To mitigate these climate impacts, methane emissions in shallow waters must be addressed through efficient flaring instead of venting and repair, refurbishment, or abandonment of poorly maintained infrastructure. We demonstrate an approach to evaluate the CI of fossil fuel production using observations, considering all direct production emissions while allocating to all fossil products.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2215275120","authors":["Alan M.

The amine capture configuration is most sensitive to the cost of steam generation, while PCL-DRI is more sensitive to the cost of electricity and the makeup oxygen carrier.

As organizations strive to meet net-zero emission targets, technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quantum Computing (QC) have emerged as powerful enablers of this transformation. This systematic literature review investigates the roles of AI and QC in achieving carbon-neutral supply chains, examining how these technologies optimize forecasting, logistics, procurement, emissions monitoring, and real-time decision-making across diverse industrial contexts. By following the PRISMA 2020 methodology, a total of 87 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025 were identified, screened, and synthesized from databases including Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The review reveals that AI significantly enhances operational sustainability through intelligent demand forecasting, inventory optimization, carbon footprint assessment, and green procurement decision-making. Quantum computing, while still in its early stages of maturity, offers high-potential applications in solving complex optimization problems such as vehicle routing, energy grid balancing, and low-emission manufacturing simulation. The integration of AI and QC—especially when combined with technologies like digital twins and blockchain—was found to support advanced sustainability modeling, emissions traceability, and secure carbon data verification. These integrated systems enable supply chains to become not only more efficient but also more transparent and accountable in their environmental impact. However, the review also highlights substantial challenges to implementation, including quantum hardware limitations, high energy demands, cost barriers, and the lack of integration with existing enterprise systems.

This paper investigates the potential of hydropower as a renewable energy source for islands in the Macaronesia region, which includes the Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands, and Cape Verde. Ecological transition towards renewable energy sources is crucial for these islands due to their current dependence on imported fossil fuels and their remoteness. The methodology used in this paper combines a SWOT analysis with a review of relevant literature. The SWOT analysis evaluates the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats associated with hydropower development on each island. The results show that each island has unique characteristics that influence its hydropower potential. The Azores has existing mini-hydropower plants and opportunities for pumped storage systems due to its rainfall and volcanic features. Madeira also utilizes hydropower, including the world's first underground pumped storage plant (UPHS) in Socorridos. However, limitations exist due to the mountainous terrain and competition for water resources. The Canary Islands showcase the success story of El Hierro Island, which significantly increased renewable energy penetration through a wind farm and pumped storage hydropower system. The topography and lack of rainfall on Cape Verde make the development of hydropower a significant challenge and, as a result, the focus has shifted to wind power. The study concludes that hydropower can play a significant role in the ecological transition of these islands. However, careful planning and consideration of environmental factors are necessary to maximize the benefits and minimize the potential drawbacks. The paper emphasizes the importance of island-specific assessments and exploring opportunities for pumped storage systems.

Despite their technical feasibility, few of these innovative carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies have so far reached the commercialization stage. Due to their low maturity and potentially higher market prices, these technologies presently require policy support in order to realize their full sustainability potentials. This paper elucidates which policies are considered appropriate, in the literature, for fostering the further development and implementation of CCU technologies and thus achieving the sustainability potential of CO2 mineralization applications. First, we performed a meta-analysis of recent literature in order to identify policies and measures that potentially represent barriers or incentives to the development and deployment of CO2 mineralization technologies, and categorized them as technology-push or market-pull policies. As a second step, we conducted an online survey of policy-making priorities among experts in the field. This identified numerous relevant policies, of which the majority are market-oriented. While most existing market-pull policies do currently not support CCU technologies and would require adaptation to do so, technology-push policies already provide support for their development. However, while the need for technology-push support in the early development phases is still continued, the broad spectrum of market-pull policies that are considered relevant shows that a shifting focus of policy support is required to better address the current state of development of CO2 mineralization technologies and their upcoming market entry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2021.742709","authors":["Barbara Olfe-Kräutlein","Till Strunge","Anna Chanin"],"tags":["Software deployment","Incentive","Sustainability","Commercialization","Business"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2021.742709","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W4394691850","name":"Investigations of nuclear isomeric states utilizing heavy-ion storage rings","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Heavy-ion storage rings allow for storing secondary ion beams for extended periods of time.

Post-combustion carbon dioxide capture at gas-fired power plants is identified and proposed as an effective way to reduce CO2 emissions generated by the electricity sector in Mexico. In particular, gas-fired power plants with carbon dioxide capture and the sequential combustion of supplementary natural gas in the heat recovery steam generator can favourably increase the production of carbon dioxide, compared to a conventional configuration. This could be attractive in places with favourable conditions for enhanced oil recovery and where affordable natural gas prices will continue to exist, such as Mexico and North America. Sequential combustion makes use of the excess oxygen in gas turbine exhaust gas to generate additional CO2, but, unlike in conventional supplementary firing, allows keeping gas temperatures in the heat recovery steam generator below 820°C, avoiding a step change in capital costs. It marginally decreases relative energy requirements for solvent regeneration and amine degradation. Power plant models integrated with capture and compression process models of Sequential Supplementary Firing Combined Cycle (SSFCC) gas-fired units show that the efficiency penalty is 8.2% points LHV compared to a conventional natural gas combined cycle power plant with capture. The marginal thermal efficiency of natural gas firing in the heat recovery steam generator can increase with supercritical steam generation to reduce the efficiency penalty to 5.7% points LHV. Although the efficiency is lower than the conventional configuration, the increment in the power output of the combined steam cycle leads a reduction of the number of gas turbines, at a similar power output to that of a conventional natural gas combined cycle. This has a positive impact on the number of absorbers and the capital costs of the post-combustion capture plant by reducing the total volume of flue gas by half on a normalised basis. The relative reduction of overall capital costs is, respectively, 9.1% and 15.3% for the supercritical and the subcritical combined cycle configurations with capture compared to a conventional configuration. The total revenue requirement, a metric combining levelised cost of electricity and revenue from EOR, shows that, at gas prices of 2$/MMBTU and for CO2 selling price from 0 to 50 $/tonneCO2, subcritical and supercritical sequential supplementary firing presents favourably at 47.3-26 $/MWh and 44.6-25 $/MWh, respectively, compared with a conventional NGCC at 49.5-31.7 $/MWh. When operated at part-load, these configurations show greater operational flexibility by utilising the additional degree of freedom associated with the combustion of natural gas in the HRSG to change power output according to electricity demand and to ensure continuity of CO2 supply when exposed to variation in electricity prices. The optimisation of steady state part-load performance shows that reducing output by adjusting supplementary fuel keeps the gas turbine operating at full load and maximum efficiency when the net power plant output is reduced from 100% to 50%. For both subcritical and supercritical combined cycles, the thermal efficiency at part-load is optimised, in terms of efficiency, with sliding pressure operation of the heat recovery steam generator. Fixed pressure operation is proposed as an alternative for supercritical combined cycles to minimise capital costs and provide fast response rates with acceptable performance levels.","url":"https://openalex.org/W2592263740","authors":["Abigail González-Díaz"],"tags":["Natural gas","Enhanced oil recovery","Environmental science","Oil and natural gas","Carbon fibers"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-11-29","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400727316","name":"Biomass and Carbon Stock Capacity of Robinia pseudoacacia Plantations at Different Densities on the Loess Plateau","source":"openalex","abstract":"Forests make an important contribution to the global carbon cycle and climate regulation. Caijiachuan watershed false acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia Linn.) plantation forests have been created for 30 years, but a series of problems have arisen due to the irrationality of the density involved at that time. To precisely assess the contribution of R. pseudoacacia plantations with different densities to this cycle, we measured the diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height (H), biomass, and carbon stocks in trees, shrubs, herbs, litter, and soil across different density ranges, denoted as D1 = 900–1400, D2 = 1401–1900, D3 = 1901–2400, D4 = 2401–2900, and D5 = 2901–3400 trees ha−1. In order to achieve the purpose of accurately estimating the biomass, carbon stocks and the contribution rate of each part in different densities of R. pseudoacacia plantations were measured. The results are as follows: (1) Both DBH and H decreased with increasing density, and field surveys were much more difficult and less accurate for H than DBH. Based on the two allometric growth models, it was found that the determination coefficient of the biomass model that incorporated both H and DBH (0.90) closely resembled that of the model using only DBH (0.89), with an error margin of only 0.04%. (2) At the sample scale, stand density significantly affected R. pseudoacacia stem biomass and total biomass. At the individual plant scale, stand density significantly affected R. pseudoacacia organ biomass. Increasing stand densities promoted the accumulation of vegetation biomass within the sample plot but did not improve the growth of individual R. pseudoacacia trees. The stem biomass constituted the majority of the total R. pseudoacacia biomass (58.25%–60.62%); the total R. pseudoacacia biomass represented a significant portion of the vegetation biomass (93.02%–97.37%). (3) The total carbon stock in the sample plots tended to increase with increasing stand density, indicating a positive correlation between density and the carbon stock of the whole plantation forest ecosystem. Hence, in future R. pseudoacacia plantations, appropriate densities should be selected based on specific objectives. For wood utilization, a planting density of 900–1400 trees ha−1 should be controlled. For carbon fixation, an initial planting density of 2900–3400 trees ha−1 should be selected for R. pseudoacacia. This study provides theoretical support for local forest management and how to better sequester carbon.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/f15071242","authors":["Yawei Hu","Jiongchang Zhao","Yang Li","Peng Tang","Yang Zhou","Jianjun Zhang","Ruoxiu Sun"],"tags":["Robinia","Loess plateau","Carbon stock","Loess","Biomass (ecology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/f15071242","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4237660425","name":"Carbon Dioxide-Enhanced Oil Recovery in Indonesia:","source":"openalex","abstract":"country director, Indonesia Resident Mission, for","url":"https://doi.org/10.22617/tcs190600","authors":["Asian Development Bank"],"tags":["Carbon dioxide","Pulp and paper industry","Environmental science","Enhanced oil recovery","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-12-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.22617/tcs190600","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.138Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391541482","name":"Does stakeholder pressure influence firms environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosure?

The results reveal that the carbon intensity value is influenced not only by external environmental changes but also by the inherent attributes of bioretention facilities, such as aquifer height, permeability coefficient, and facility area.

Due to large losses of seagrass meadows worldwide, restoration is proposed as a key strategy for increasing coastal resilience and recovery. The emergence of a seagrass meadow is expected to substantially amplify biodiversity and enhance benthic metabolism by increasing primary productivity and respiration. Nevertheless, open questions remain regarding the metabolic balance of aging seagrass meadows and the roles benthic communities within the seagrass ecosystem play in overall metabolism. To address these questions, we investigated a chronosequence of bare sediments and adjacent Zostera marina meadows of 3 and 7 years since restoration alongside a natural meadow located within a high-temperate marine embayment in Gåsö, Sweden. We combined continuous measurements of O2 fluxes using underwater eddy covariance with dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and O2 fluxes from benthic chambers during the productive season (July). Based on the ratio between O2 and DIC, we derived site-specific photosynthetic and respiratory quotients, enabling the conversion of eddy covariance fluxes to DIC. We assessed benthic diversity parameters as potential drivers of metabolic flux variability. We observed high rates of gross primary productivity (GPP) spanning −18 to −82 mmolDICm-2d-1, which increased progressively with meadow age. Community respiration (CR) mirrored the GPP trend, and all meadows were net heterotrophic (GPP < CR), with net community productivity (NCP) ranging from 16 to 28 mmolDICm-2d-1. While autotrophic biomass did not increase with meadow age, macrophyte diversity did, elucidating potential effects of niche complementarity among macrophytes on community metabolism. These findings provide valuable insights into how community composition and meadow development relate to ecosystem functioning, highlighting potential tradeoffs between carbon uptake and biodiversity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-21-1685-2024","authors":["Theodor Kindeberg","Karl M.

However, for continental sedimentary shale oil, the development process must consider the multiscale matrix-fracture structure and the impact of heterogeneous wettability on f luid-solid interactions. Moreover, the mechanisms of CO2 miscibility and interfacial behavior in post-fracturing reservoirs remain unclear. In this study, a laminated shale micro-model with fracture based on scanning electron microscopy observations was designed, and the process of fracturing fluid flowback and subsequent CO2 huff-n-puff were simulated. Results showed that forced imbibition primarily affects limestone layers, while spontaneous imbibition affects mudstone layers, contributing 89.3% and 10.7% to the affected area, respectively. The oil recovery mechanism of CO2 is mainly influenced by pressure, transfer from displacement-carry at low pressure to dissolution-extraction, and eventually to diffusion-extraction in the miscible state. Additionally, before reaching miscibility, Taylor dispersion, Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, Rayleigh-Taylor instability, and Marangoni effects occur at the oil-CO2 interface, leading to interfacial turbulent instability. Lastly, water huff-n-puff produces membrane and isolated droplet residual oil, while immiscible CO2 breaks cluster residual oil into columnar residual oil. Miscible CO2 enhances the recovery of various residual oils, improving oil recovery and facilitating CO2 storage.

Although energy and water infrastructures are often viewed as separate and uncoupled due to distinct processes in power generation and water production, they are fundamentally interlinked within their respective domains. This necessitates a strong coupling to optimally manage power and water resources simultaneously. To address this, a joint optimization algorithm has been developed to manage the supply-side resources of the Energy-Water-Food Nexus (EWFN), including the power, water, food, cogeneration, and storage networks. A mathematical model is first developed to dispatch clear power, potable water, and storage resources, considering constraints related to supply, demand, production, flow, and ramping. Additionally, the integration of a water storage facility alleviates binding constraints, enabling flat production to reduce costs and CO2 emissions. The proposed methodology also allows for the real-time quantification of production costs, energy mix, reserve and curtailed capacities, and energy imbalances. This methodological extension to EWFN includes flexible resources within the grid’s portfolio to promote cleaner production, ensuring that the required amount of water is consumed across all sectors. Finally, the proposed algorithm is tested on freely available datasets, demonstrating that the co-dispatch of energy and water resources in the presence of constraints leads to optimal generation and distribution of power and water without heavily relying on a single-product plant.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.142648","authors":["Muhammad Babar Rasheed","María D.

In particular, we discuss the transition from laboratory-scale hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst measurements to those in single cells, which is a critical aspect crucial for scaling up from laboratory to industrial settings but often overlooked. Furthermore, we review the numerous catalyst design strategies deployed across the precious metal free HER literature. Subsequently, we showcase some of the most commonly investigated families of precious metal free HER catalysts; molybdenum disulfide-based, transition metal phosphides, and transition metal carbides for acidic electrolyte; nickel molybdenum and transition metal phosphides for alkaline. This includes a comprehensive analysis comparing the HER activity between several families of materials highlighting the recent stagnation with regards to enhancing the intrinsic activity of precious metal free hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts.

This Review offers a comprehensive overview of tar from gasification, encompassing gasifier chemistry and configuration that notably impact tar formation during gasification. It explores the concentration and composition of tar in the syngas and the purity of syngas required for the applications. Various tar removal methods are discussed, including mechanical, chemical/catalytic, and plasma technologies. The Review provides insights into the strengths, limitations, and challenges associated with each tar removal method. It also highlights the importance of integrating multiple techniques to enhance the tar removal efficiency and syngas quality. The selection of an appropriate tar removal strategy depends on factors such as tar composition, gasifier operating and design factors, economic considerations, and the extent of purity required at the downstream application.

Diverse chars discharged by an industrial pyrolysis factory have been activated with KOH. Concretely, the char residues came from the pyrolysis of olive stone, pine, and acacia splinters, spent residues fuel, and cellulose artificial casings. The changes in the textural, structural, and composition characteristics after the activation process were studied by N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy, FTIR, elemental analysis, and XPS.

The activated chars were used for the adsorption of CO2, leading to CO2 maximum uptakes of 90–130 mg g−1. There was a good correlation between the CO2 uptake with microporosity and oxygenated surface groups of the activated chars.

Among the promising alternatives, biomass is considered a valid source to convert the system and to reduce the fossil fraction of the national energy mixes, but its multiple potential uses need an environmental evaluation to understand the actual benefit when it is used as an energy resource. For this purpose, life cycle assessment (LCA) is applied to a wood biomass gasification system aimed to produce electricity and heat generated after the combustion of the produced syngas and the management of the biochar. The aim is to provide a quantitative comparison of (i) a baseline scenario where wood biomass is sourced from waste and (ii) a second scenario where wood biomass is drawn from dedicated cultivation. A further evaluation was finally applied to investigate the environmental implications associated with the biochar composition, assuming it was used on land. The proposed strategies resulted in an environmental credit for both the examined scenarios, but the outcomes showed a net preference for the baseline scenario, resulting in better environmental performances for all the examined categories with respect to the second one. It underlines the potentialities of using waste-sourced biomass. However, according to the Climate Change category, if on-site dedicated biomass cultivation is assumed for the second scenario, the baseline is considered preferable only if the biomass transportation distance is <600 km, which is estimated as a theoretical distance for scenarios to break even. Finally, biochar composition proved a particular concern for toxicity-related categories. This study highlights the importance of applying objective and standardized methodologies such as LCA to evaluate energy production systems based on alternative sources and to support decision-making toward achieving sustainability goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17112599","authors":["Francesco Arfelli","Cristian Tosi","Luca Ciacci","Fabrizio Passarini"],"tags":["Biochar","Syngas","Biomass (ecology)","Integrated gasification combined cycle","Biomass gasification"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17112599","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.139Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.139Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402689602","name":"Feasibility of Carbon Dioxide as Cushion Gas in Depleted Gas Reservoirs: An Experiment Study on CO2–CH4 Dispersion during Flow Alternation","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing carbon dioxide (CO2) as a cushion gas in depleted reservoirs for enhanced gas storage efficiency and carbon sequestration against the backdrop of rising natural gas stable supply demand and climate change concerns. Simulations of gas storage reservoir scenarios require accurate dispersion parameters at flow alternation conditions to quantify the size of the miscible displacement front. Several experimental studies using core-flooding equipment aimed at measuring related parameters have been reported over the last decade but did not take flow alternation into consideration. We simulated directionally variable displacements to mimic the cyclic injection and extraction processes in gas storage, focusing on the dispersion characteristics of CO2 and methane (CH4) during flow alternation. Key findings were observed using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) imaging, which provided real-time data on the spatial distribution and temporal changes of CH4 signals in rock cores. The results revealed that dispersion, influenced predominantly by dispersion coefficients rather than molecular diffusion, was significantly higher during alternating flow compared to concurrent displacement. Additionally, CO2 exhibited a greater dispersion effect when displacing CH4 than the reverse. This enhanced mixing efficiency during flow alternation supports the potential of CO2 as a cost-effective and efficient cushion gas, offering both improved storage performance and the added benefit of CO2 sequestration. These findings contribute valuable insights for the numerical simulation and operational adaptation of CO2 in gas storage reservoirs, emphasizing the importance of understanding fluid interactions under varying flow conditions to optimize storage efficiency and environmental benefits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17184676","authors":["Jinhui Yang","Binshan Ju","An Shik Yang","Zixian Cui","Meng Wang","Yapeng Tian","Hengchen Qi"],"tags":["Carbon dioxide","Alternation (linguistics)","Environmental science","Flow (mathematics)","Dispersion (optics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17184676","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.139Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402469118","name":"Enhancing renewable energy utilization and energy management strategies for new energy yachts","source":"openalex","abstract":"Hydrogen energy, due to its clean and efficient nature, has shown great potential during the current transition period in the shipbuilding industry. However, the application of hydrogen energy in ship energy systems is influenced by variations in operational load and the integration of new energy sources during actual navigation. To address these issues, this paper focuses on optimizing and scheduling the operation of ships under various navigation conditions, considering the distributed nature of hydrogen energy. System simulations were conducted to model the photovoltaic (PV), proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), lithium batteries (LIBs), electrolytic cells (ECs), and energy storage modules of yacht energy systems. Component boundaries and objective functions were set, and two cases (excess photovoltaic state and constant power state) were designed to optimize and regulate the energy balance of hydrogen-powered yachts, enhancing their comprehensive utilization of renewable energy. By comparing the changes in ship energy under the two cases, it was concluded that case 1 ensures the maximum utilization of renewable energy. When photovoltaic power generation is insufficient, the PEMFC and LIB in the system provide the required power to achieve a supply-demand balance. Moreover, when PV power generation is sufficient, hydrogen energy is used to store renewable energy. The optimization method designed in this study can, to some extent, maximize the application of renewable energy in new energy yachts, ensuring the efficiency of the comprehensive energy system of new energy yachts, reducing emissions, and improving the sustainability and economic efficiency of the ships.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e37863","authors":["Zhe Wang","Mingyu Li","Ning Cao","Pengzhi Liao","Yulong Ji","Fenghui Han"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Energy management","Energy (signal processing)","Energy engineering","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e37863","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.139Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.139Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409999985","name":"The 2024 acoustic metamaterials roadmap","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Today, acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) form a core area of metamaterial research.

To address these challenges, citrus peel residues and cassava stalks underwent pyrolysis at 500 °C to generate biochars. Different proportions of these biochars (1%, 2%, and 4%) were applied under controlled laboratory conditions to assess their impact on the mineralization of soil organic carbon in citrus orchards. The results indicated that both types of biochar effectively regulated the soil pH to approximately 5.5. Significantly, the addition of 4% cassava stalk biochar significantly increased the levels of available phosphorus and potassium. The phosphorus levels rose by 512.55%, and the potassium levels surged by 1434.01%. Additionally, the soil organic carbon increased to 16.7 g/kg. Conversely, the citrus peel biochar decreased the availability of phosphorus but resulted in the highest increase in available potassium, at 1523.75%, and elevated the soil organic carbon content to 13 g/kg. Both types of biochar enhanced the soil organic carbon mineralization rate to varying extents with increasing application ratios, simultaneously boosting the cumulative amount of organic carbon mineralized. Among the treatments, cassava stalk biochar displayed the lowest C0/SOC ratio, of 0.169, indicating its superior carbon retention capacity. Furthermore, cassava stalk biochar showed inhibitory effects on soil catalase and urease activities within the citrus orchard.

Textile waste is typically comprised of approximately 50% biomass-derived cellulosic fiber and 50% fossil carbon-derived synthetic fiber, with the biogenic portion representing a global CO 2 removal capacity estimated at 75 Mt CO 2 (14 Mt CO 2 in the US alone). Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) offers a promising solution for permanently removing atmospheric CO 2 by converting biomass into energy while capturing and storing the resulting carbon emissions. Despite its potential, textile waste remains an underutilized feedstock in BECCS research and deployment. This study evaluates the techno-economic feasibility and environmental performance of small-scale modular BECCS systems that process textile waste to produce electricity and achieve net-negative emissions. Four waste-to-energy scenarios were modeled using 100% cotton or a 50/50 cotton–polyethylene terephthalate (PET) blend, with and without carbon capture. In 2018, the US EPA reported that 66% of discarded textiles were landfilled. As a result, a fifth landfilling end-of-life scenario was introduced to compare valorization scenarios to a baseline scenario. Life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis (TEA) are applied to quantify levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and CO 2 removal. For 100% cotton waste, the removal cost was 329 USD per metric ton (t) CO 2 e, significantly lower than 777 USD per t-CO 2 e for 50/50 cotton-PET. The carbon removal efficiencies of 100% cotton and 50/50 cotton-PET textile waste materials were 91% and 59%, respectively. The lowest LCOE was observed for a 50/50 cotton-PET mixture with CCS at 0.17 USD/kWh, due to the relatively high energy density of the feedstock. In contrast, 100% cotton with CCS had the highest LCOE at 0.29 USD/kWh due to the lower feedstock energy density, higher capital expenditure (CAPEX), and reduced CO 2 sales, due to the lower carbon content in cotton compared to PET. In addition, the LCOE for the 50/50 cotton-PET without CCS was 0.18 USD/kWh and the LCOE for the 100% cotton without CCS was 0.24 USD/kWh. The LCA with CCS showed that direct and indirect emissions lead to high acidification potential due to ammonia release via monoethanolamine (MEA) degradation, compared to electricity production without CCS. Additionally, the production of MEA itself exhibited high ecotoxicity potential compared to other process inputs such as NaOH and activated carbon.

To confirm that premium connections remain tight and safe after being exposed to a rapid depressurization of CO2, they have been physically tested in a horizontal load frame. The test consisted in the filling of the sample with CO2 up to a minimum of 100 bar and a temperature below 30°C to ensure liquid state, or above 32°C to ensure supercritical state inside the sample, and then depressurizing the sample through an orifice of 2 or 4 mm until complete drop of pressure.

This risk management analysis identified the key monitoring tasks of MMV. The MMV design was subsequently conducted to develop a site-specific and risk-based MMV plan to proactively address the potential subsurface risks for the given site. The paper describes the workflow of conceptual subsurface risk management and MMV design, summarizes the key considerations and findings, and sets examples for conducting similar evaluations for other CCS projects. 1. INTRODUCTION The Government of Japan announced the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) is considered a critical part of the overall solution to achieve the goal. In 2023, seven potential offshore CCS projects were selected by the government as the first initiative for the CO2 storage feasibility study toward the commencement of commercial CCS operations by 2030. Subsurface risk management and related MMV design are critical parts of the feasibility study, as the success of a CCS project relies on the long-term containment of the injected CO2 in the storage complex. In this context, conceptual subsurface risk management and MMV design were conducted at one of the candidate sites located offshore Japan by leveraging the enriched knowledge of worldwide CCS guidelines and regulations on CCS subsurface risk management and MMV planning. 2. INTRODUCTION OF THE STORAGE SITE The offshore carbon storage site, located around the Tokyo metropolitan area, was selected by INPEX for potential CCS operations. CO2 will be transported by onshore and offshore pipelines from emitters located in the metropolitan area. The injection operation is planned to start in 2030 and continue for more than 30 years, with a target injection rate of approximately 1.0 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa). Considering the water depth around the potential CCS site, the platform injection concept was selected. The target storage aquifer in the site employs a continuous and thick, deep- and shallow-water marine sedimentary succession.","url":"https://doi.org/10.56952/arma-2024-0297","authors":["K. Nii","S.

The simulation results show that CO2 storage availability largely affects the optimal energy choice in the entire energy sector, including the electricity and all end-use sectors. Future CCS implementation would determine the penetration of net-zero emission fuels, such as hydrogen and synthetic fuels. The results also imply that CCS is crucial in curbing Japan's emission reduction costs. Marginal CO2 abatement cost in 2050 surges to 1717 USD/tCO2 in a limited CCS case (injecting 10 MtCO2/year in 2050), tripling from that of a higher CCS case (504 USD/tCO2 when injecting 200 MtCO2/year in 2050). An additional analysis of CCS costs confirms that CCS can be economically attractive even in a high CCS cost case.

This study attempts to evaluate the effect of mine waste ratio and carbonation curing time on physico-mechanical behavior of bricks. The bricks were fabricated using different ratios of mine waste, i.e. 20 – 40 % in the mix design. Carbonation curing between 1 – 3 hours was applied during the brick fabrication to estimate CO 2 capture of the brick product. The brick performances were evaluated based on the compressive strength, water absorption and carbon capture capacity. It was found that curing time at 28 days provided the greatest compressive strength of the brick and greater performance was observed at 40 % replacement with the mine waste. Carbonation curing improved the brick performance with higher compressive strength and lower water absorption at longer exposure time of 3-hour carbonation. The resulting CO 2 uptake was found to increase with the increase of carbonation time and at higher ratio of mine waste replacement. The CO 2 capture capacity was between 0.45 – 0.58 % for bricks containing 20 – 40 % of mine waste, which corresponds to 9.4 – 16.3 g CO 2 /brick.

To obtain high-quality aquifer samples using a WBM, an environmentally acceptable mud system was developed with a tracer chemical to monitor the sample pumpout. This system was successfully deployed in a shallow aquifer sampling job using a wireline formation tester. The Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) project is planning to store CO2 in the Bunter Sandstone aquifer in the Southern North Sea (SNS). As part of site characterization, a shallow aquifer sample (at approximately 200 m BML) was required to characterize the fluid properties in the wider Bunter Sandstone aquifer. As no fluid data existed in the area, the composition of the water was unknown. A jack-up rig was obtained to drill a short borehole into the aquifer to allow the collection of fluid samples on wireline. Due to the shallow depth, it was deemed likely that the Bunter Sandstone is in hydraulic communication with the sea at this location. Therefore, common techniques for monitoring sample cleanup, such as resistivity, could not be used with certainty. To obtain low-contamination samples a tracer would need to be deployed. Tracers typically used in deeper reservoir sections are not acceptable for use in hydraulic communication to the sea, so an environmentally friendly tracer was required to be developed. Several chemicals were tested for their ability to be successfully built into a WBM formulation while also being able to model their concentration accurately using an advanced downhole fluid analyzer through optical density and/or fluorescent properties. This allows the chemicals to act as a tracer to monitor the sample contamination in real time during the wireline job. Chemicals were made up and tested in the operator’s laboratories before being sent to assess suitability through workshop tests with an advanced downhole fluid analyzer. The best-performing tracer chemical was added to the entire circulation system of the drilling rig and deployed in a water sampling job in a shallow borehole in the SNS. Low-contamination (&lt; 3%) water samples were successfully acquired at four depths. These results were verified by comparison with a deuterium oxide tracer (which can be tested in the laboratory only), whole core water samples, formation pressure gradients, and wireline log analysis. The data were then used as part of the project’s environmental statement submission (United Kingdom regulatory permit). The tracer deployment was highly successful, and the operator is expecting to deploy the chemical again in other projects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.30632/spwla-2024-0013","authors":["Michael Taplin","Emilie Peyret","Phillip Jackson","Kirsty Hitchen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-01T16:45:41Z","doi":"10.30632/spwla-2024-0013","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.140Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.140Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.renene.2024.121251","name":"Effect of carbon capture on carbide slag-steel slag shape-stable phase change materials for thermal energy storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2024.121251","authors":["Yaxuan Xiong","Aitonglu Zhang","Yang Yang","Jing Ren","Miao He","Yuting Wu","Cancan Zhang","Yulong Ding"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-30T16:59:59Z","doi":"10.1016/j.renene.2024.121251","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.140Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:20.140Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.egyr.2024.06.070","name":"Eliciting laypeople's mental models and risk perceptions of direct air carbon capture and storage: Implications for effective risk communication","source":"crossref","abstract":"Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) is a climate change mitigation approach whereby CO 2 is collected and concentrated from the atmosphere for permanent storage.

This review explores the market challenges and policy recommendations associated with CCS deployment, emphasizing its role in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as power generation, manufacturing, and industrial processes. Despite significant advancements in CCS technology, widespread adoption faces barriers, including high capital and operational costs, insufficient market incentives, and public acceptance challenges. Moreover, the lack of comprehensive infrastructure, such as CO₂ transport pipelines and storage facilities, poses a significant hurdle to scaling CCS operations. Policy frameworks like the 45Q tax credit and state-level initiatives have spurred CCS projects, but inconsistencies in regulatory standards and insufficient federal and state collaboration hinder broader adoption. This review highlights the importance of integrating CCS into broader climate policies, leveraging public-private partnerships, and fostering innovation to reduce costs and enhance efficiency. Stakeholder engagement is crucial to addressing community concerns and ensuring equitable implementation, particularly in regions with high CCS potential. The analysis identifies key strategies to overcome these challenges, including enhancing financial incentives, streamlining permitting processes, and investing in infrastructure development. Additionally, it underscores the need for robust monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) frameworks to ensure the long-term safety and effectiveness of CO₂ storage sites. Case studies of successful projects in the U.S. and other countries are examined to extract best practices and inform future initiatives.

As concrete stands as the second most extensively utilized material globally, its pervasive use amplifies the release of potent greenhouse gases. This paper introduces a novel approach to carbon capture in concrete materials by employing CO2 adsorbents that synergistically enhance the carbonization reaction, thereby augmenting capture efficiency. Biochar emerges as a promising candidate for carbon capture due to its robust CO2 adsorption capacity and its eco-friendly, cost-effective, and low-carbon production process. For instance, typically 1 ton of biochar has potential to sequester 3 ton of carbon dioxide from the environment. Various studies have explored the integration of biochar into concrete materials, aiming to improve mechanical, durability, and thermal properties, as well as the overall functionality of formed concrete composites. Beyond its role in enhancing concrete properties, biochar presents itself as an effective carbon sequestering agent with or without modification which is also reviewed in this paper. Concurrently, research efforts are underway to investigate the reinforcement properties and selective CO2 sorption capabilities of cellulose-based materials in concrete composites. Noteworthy attributes such as abundance, biodegradability, renewability, and cost-effectiveness position cellulose-based materials as promising alternatives to traditional reinforcing agents. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the latest advancements in the utilization of biochar and cellulose materials in concrete composite applications. Emphasis is placed on evaluating the durability, mechanical properties, and carbon capture potential of concrete composites augmented with biochar and cellulose. The synthesis of research progress in this domain serves to elucidate the current state of knowledge and offers insights into the future prospects of biochar and cellulose-enhanced concrete composites in the context of sustainable construction practices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100232","authors":["Ravi Patel","Amin Babaei-Ghazvini","Matthew J.

However, insufficient low-temperature activity, low dispersion and reducibility, as well as nanoparticle sintering are some of the main drawbacks when using Ni-based catalysts. Such problems can be partly overcome via the introduction of a second transition metal (e.g., Fe, Co) or a noble metal (e.g., Ru, Rh, Pt, Pd and Re) in Ni-based catalysts. Through Ni-M alloy formation, or the intricate synergy between two adjacent metallic phases, new high-performing and low-cost methanation catalysts can be obtained.

However, there are also concerns that a large scale deployment of NETs may cause various environmental impacts due to the use of land, water and energy resources. A number of studies have assessed the environmental performance of various NETs; however, a comprehensive review comparing a range of different NETs is not available in the literature. To address this research gap, this paper compares life cycle assessment (LCA) studies of the following options for which the data were available in the literature: bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), biochar incorporation into soil, afforestation and reforestation, soil carbon sequestration, building with biomass, direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS), enhanced weathering and mineral carbonation. It is evident from this review that these technologies can have net negative life cycle GHG emissions, ranging from −603 kg CO 2 eq./t CO 2 removed for building with biomass to −1173 kg CO 2 eq./t CO 2 removed for biochar incorporation into soil. However, the estimates of GHG removal potentials vary widely among the studies for each technology as well as among the NETs owing to technological differences, methodological choices and differing assumptions. For example, the net global warming potential (GWP) of biochar varies among the reviewed studies between a net positive impact of 1710 to a net negative GWP of 3300 kg CO 2 eq./t CO 2 removed, depending upon the feedstock, pyrolysis technology and the assumptions for credits for co-products and co-benefits. Overall, biochar used as soil amendment has the lowest GWP per tonne of CO 2 removed, followed by soil carbon sequestration, while building with biomass ranks last. The review also reveals that the removal of CO 2 by these technologies could lead to a significant increase in other environmental impacts. Especially, the use of energy in non-bio NETs (DACCS, enhanced weathering and mineral carbonation) leads to relatively high fossil depletion, acidification and human toxicity. These impacts can be reduced if the energy demand of NETs is met by renewables instead of fossil fuels. The paper also identifies several methodological issues and challenges in conducting LCA of NETs and provides recommendations to address them.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spc.2022.06.028","authors":["Harish Kumar Jeswani","Djasmine Mastisya Saharudin","Adisa Azapagic"],"tags":["Biochar","Environmental science","Carbon sequestration","Life-cycle assessment","Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-07-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spc.2022.06.028","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.598Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.598Z"},{"id":"oa:W2161001357","name":"Trends and developments in green cement and concrete technology","source":"openalex","abstract":"The cement industry faces a number of challenges that include depleting fossil fuel reserves, scarcity of raw materials, perpetually increasing demand for cements and concretes, growing environmental concerns linked to climate change and an ailing world economy. Every tonne of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) that is produced releases on average a similar amount of CO2 into the atmosphere, or in total roughly 6% of all man-made carbon emissions. Improved production methods and formulations that reduce or eliminate CO2 emissions from the cement manufacturing process are thus high on the agenda. Emission reduction is also needed to counter the impacts on product cost of new regulations, green taxes and escalating fuel prices. In this regard, locally available minerals, recycled materials and (industry, agriculture and domestic) waste may be suitable for blending with OPC as substitute, or in some cases replacement, binders. Fly ash, Blast furnace slag and silica fumes are three well known examples of cement replacement materials that are in use today that, like OPC, have been documented and validated both in laboratory tests and in practice. The first is a by-product of coal combustion, the second of iron smelting and the third of electric arc furnace production of elemental silicon or ferro silicon alloys. This paper presents a concise review of the current state-of-the-art and standards underpinning the production and use of OPC-based cements and concretes. It outlines some of the emerging green alternatives and the benefits they offer. Many of these alternatives rely on technological advances that include energy-efficient, low carbon production methods, novel cement formulations, geopolymers, carbon negative cements and novel concrete products. Finally, the economics of cement production and the trends in the UK, US and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Region are presented, to help guide and inform future developments in cement production based on maximizing the value of carbon reduction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsbe.2013.05.001","authors":["M.S.

Many microorganisms, including yeast and bacteria, accumulate carbon and energy reserves to cope with the starvation conditions temporarily present in the environment.

At the most fundamental level, the processes of glycogen synthesis and degradation in yeast and bacteria share certain broad similarities. However, the regulation of these processes is sometimes quite distinct, indicating that they have evolved separately to respond optimally to the habitat conditions of each species. This review aims to highlight the mechanisms, both at the transcriptional and at the post-transcriptional level, that regulate glycogen metabolism in yeast and bacteria, focusing on selected areas where the greatest increase in knowledge has occurred during the last few years. In the yeast system, we focus particularly on the various signaling pathways that control the activity of the enzymes of glycogen storage. We also discuss our recent understanding of the important role played by the vacuole in glycogen metabolism. In the case of bacterial glycogen, special emphasis is placed on aspects related to the genetic regulation of glycogen metabolism and its connection with other biological processes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1574-6976.2010.00220.x","authors":["Wayne A.

Atmospheric emissions and concentrations of CH4 continue to increase, making CH4 the second most important human-influenced greenhouse gas in terms of climate forcing, after carbon dioxide (CO2). The relative importance of CH4 compared to CO2 depends on its shorter atmospheric\\nlifetime, stronger warming potential, and variations in atmospheric growth rate over the past decade, the causes of which are still debated. Two major challenges in reducing uncertainties in the atmospheric growth rate arise from the variety of geographically overlapping CH4 sources and from the destruction of CH4 by short-lived hydroxyl radicals (OH). To address these challenges, we have established a consortium of multidisciplinary scientists under the umbrella of the Global Carbon Project to synthesize and stimulate new research aimed at improving and regularly updating the global methane budget. Following Saunois et al. (2016), we present here the second version of the living review paper dedicated to the decadal methane budget, integrating results of top-down studies (atmospheric observations within an atmospheric inverse-modelling framework) and bottom-up estimates (including process-based models for estimating land surface emissions and atmospheric chemistry, inventories of anthropogenic emissions, and data-driven extrapolations).\\nFor the 2008–2017 decade, global methane emissions are estimated by atmospheric inversions (a top-down approach) to be 576 TgCH4 yr-1 (range 550–594, corresponding to the minimum and maximum estimates of the model ensemble). Of this total, 359 TgCH4 yr-1 or 60% is attributed to anthropogenic sources, that is emissions caused by direct human activity (i.e. anthropogenic emissions; range 336–376 TgCH4 yr-1 or 50 %–65 %). The mean annual total emission for the new decade (2008–2017) is 29 TgCH4 yr-1 larger than our estimate for the previous decade (2000–2009), and 24 TgCH4 yr-1 larger than the one reported in the previous budget for 2003–2012 (Saunois et al., 2016). Since 2012, global CH4 emissions have been tracking the warmest scenarios assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Bottom-up methods suggest almost 30% larger global emissions (737 TgCH4 yr-1, range 594–881) than top-down inversion methods. Indeed, bottom-up estimates for natural sources such as natural wetlands, other inland water systems, and geological sources are higher than top-down estimates. The atmospheric constraints on the top-down budget suggest that at least some of these bottom-up emissions are overestimated. The latitudinal distribution of atmospheric observation-based emissions indicates a predominance of tropical emissions (∼65% of the global budget, <30◦N) compared to mid-latitudes (∼30 %, 30–60◦ N) and high northern latitudes (∼4 %, 60–90◦N). The most important source of uncertainty in the methane budget is attributable to natural emissions, especially those from wetlands and other inland waters.\\nSome of our global source estimates are smaller than those in previously published budgets (Saunois et al., 2016; Kirschke et al., 2013). In particular wetland emissions are about 35 TgCH4 yr-1 lower due to improved partition wetlands and other inland waters. Emissions from geological sources and wild animals are also found to be smaller by 7 TgCH4 yr-1 by 8 TgCH4 yr-1, respectively. However, the overall discrepancy between bottom-up and top-down estimates has been reduced by only 5% compared to Saunois et al. (2016), due to a higher estimate of emissions from inland waters, highlighting the need for more detailed research on emissions factors.

Energy storage technologies have complex and diverse cost, value, and performance characteristics that make them challenging to model, but there is limited guidance about best practices and research gaps for energy storage analysis. This paper reviews the literature and draws upon our collective experience to provide recommendations to analysts on approaches for representing energy storage in long-term electric sector models, navigating tradeoffs in model development, and identifying research gaps for existing tools and data. The review focuses on national-scale models with technological, temporal, and regional detail given their prevalence in planning and policy, though many insights are transferable to other modeling contexts. It also offers guidance to consumers of model outputs on proper use and interpretation based on model strengths and limitations. In particular, this review demonstrates the importance of capturing how the values of energy storage and other resources change as the system composition changes (e.g. with different levels of storage, renewables deployment, and emissions outcomes).

This paper has two main objectives. The first is to summarize published findings on how various additives, which we classify as polymers, alcohols, surfactants, or other chemicals, affect interfacial tension (IFT) between CO2 and oil, minimum miscibility pressure (MMP), and oil recovery. The second is to fill gaps in the literature by presenting field-scale numerical simulation of ethanol-treated CO2 injection. IFT has been reported to be lower using modified CO2 than using pure CO2. The various classes of additive have been found to bring about different reductions in MMP, with polymers attaining a reduction of 7.4–7.6 MPa, alcohols 9.4 MPa, and surfactants 1–6.1 MPa. However, these classes provided comparable increases in oil recovery. Studies attribute the increase in oil recovery to enhanced displacement efficiency during modified CO2 injection. However, they do not consider sweep efficiency as a possible factor, nor do they consider the effect of modified CO2 injection on CO2 storage. To fill this gap in the literature, we run numerical simulations for (a) pure CO2 injection and (b) ethanol-treated CO2 injection into a three-dimensional oil reservoir model. Ethanol-treated CO2 injection is found superior to pure CO2 injection in displacement efficiency, sweep efficiency, and CO2 storage. Improvement in CO2 storage and oil recovery is more pronounced at lower pressures, which suggests that modified CO2 injection is more suitable for low-pressure reservoirs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2020.07.008","authors":["Saira","Fatma Janna","Furqan Hussain"],"tags":["Miscibility","Enhanced oil recovery","Polymer","Materials science","Petroleum engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-07-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2020.07.008","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.598Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.598Z"},{"id":"oa:W4285133873","name":"A Review of Pre-combustion Carbon Capture Technology","source":"openalex","abstract":"Global warming is one of the most significant challenges that people are facing today.

CO2 hydrogenation with green hydrogen to produce olefins is an effective and promising way to utilize CO2 and produce valuable chemicals. The olefins can be produced by CO2 hydrogenation through two routes, i.e., CO2-FTS (carbon dioxide Fischer–Tropsch synthesis) and MeOH (methanol-mediated), among which CO2-FTS has significant advantages over MeOH in practical applications due to its relatively high CO2 conversion and low energy consumption potentials. However, the CO2-FTS faces challenges of difficult CO2 activation and low olefins selectivity. Iron-based catalysts are promising for CO2-FTS due to their dual functionality of catalyzing RWGS and CO-FTS reactions.

Incentive structures are grouped into three structures, market-based, public procurement, and fiscal mechanisms. We find the majority of mechanisms currently in operation are underresourced and pay too little to enable a portfolio of CDR that could support achievement of net zero. The majority of mechanisms are concentrated in market-based and fiscal structures, specifically carbon markets and subsidies. While not primarily motivated by CDR, mechanisms tend to support established afforestation and soil carbon sequestration methods. Mechanisms for geological CDR remain largely underdeveloped relative to the requirements of modelled net zero scenarios. Commercialisation pathways for CDR require suitable policies and markets throughout the projects development cycle. Discussion and investment in CDR has tended to focus on technology development.

A paradigm shift is needed in developing new ways by which energy is supplied and utilized, together with the mitigation of climate change through CO2 reduction technologies. There is an almost universal acceptance of the link between rising anthropogenic CO2 levels due to fossil fuel combustion and global warming accompanied by unpredictable climate change. Therefore, renewable energy, non-fossil fuels and CO2 capture and storage (CCS) must be deployed on a massive scale. CCS technologies provide a means for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, in addition to the current strategies of improving energy efficiency. Coal-fired power plants are among the main large-scale CO2 emitters, and capture of the CO2 emissions can be achieved with conventional technologies such as amine absorption. However, this energy-consuming process, calculated at approximately 30% of the power plant capacity, would result in unacceptable increases in power generation costs. Membrane processes offer a potentially viable energy-saving alternative for CO2 capture because they do not involve any phase transformation. However, typical gas separation membranes that are currently available have insufficiently high permeability to be able to process the massive volumes of flue gas, which would result in a high CO2 capture. Polymer membranes highly permeable to CO2 and having good selectivity should be developed for the membrane process to be viable. This perspective review summarizes recent noteworthy advances in polymeric materials having very high CO2 permeability and good CO2/N2 selectivity that largely surpass the separation performance of conventional polymer materials. Five important classes of polymer membrane materials are highlighted: polyimides, thermally rearranged polymers (TRs), substituted polyacetylenes, polymers with intrinsic microporosity (PIM) and polyethers, which provide insights into polymer designs suitable for CO2 separation from, for example, the post-combustion flue gases in coal-fired power plants.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/c1ee02668b","authors":["Naiying Du","Ho Bum Park","Mauro M.

The continuously growing demand for hydrogen is driven by the challenges associated with greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion. This paper investigates and summarizes some intriguing hydrogen production processes that have evolved from laboratory stages to mature commercial applications. The analysis of techno-economic, environmental effects and investment trends of these processes are included. Currently, hydrogen is dominantly produced by methods with fossil fuels as feed. These technology processes are relatively mature and account for the majority of the world's hydrogen production, around 99%. However, these results in significant carbon emissions. Around 1400 million tons of carbon dioxide are emitted into the atmosphere. To achieve carbon neutral strategy, the hydrogen production from hydrocarbon fuels needs to become clean. Equipping carbon capture, utilization, and storage system is a promising way to reduce carbon emissions. In addition, hydrogen production schemes with zero carbon emissions like electrolytic and photocatalysis are attracting increasing attention. The survey results suggest that the price of hydrogen production associated with the addition of carbon capture equipment ranges from 1.47 to 6.04 USD/kg, which is higher than the value for the price without the additional facility (1.03–2.08 USD/kg). The introduction of carbon tax is expected to narrow the cost gap between the two. Besides, the cost of electrolysis remains expensive (6.25–12.2 USD/kg), depending on the energy source and electrolytic cell equipment. The high-pressure autothermal reforming technique coupled with carbon capture and electrolytic technique powered by renewable energy are favored by global commercial investment. Finally, key challenges and opportunities for clean hydrogen production are discussed in this paper. More attention should be paid to catalyst blockage or deactivation and the cost of carbon capture equipment for fossil fuel hydrogen production. For the new zero-carbon hydrogen production method, designing efficient, economical catalysts and electrolysis materials is essential for its large-scale application.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44270-024-00004-4","authors":["Teng Hu","Yihong Song","Xiao Zhang","Saisai Lin","Peng Liu","Chenghang Zheng","Xiang Gao"],"tags":["Carbon neutrality","Neutrality","Production (economics)","Hydrogen production","Carbon fibers"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44270-024-00004-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.598Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.598Z"},{"id":"oa:W2888351913","name":"Recent Progress on Two-Dimensional Nanoflake Ensembles for Energy Storage Applications","source":"openalex","abstract":"The rational design and synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) nanoflake ensemble-based materials have garnered great attention owing to the properties of the components of these materials, such as high mechanical flexibility, high specific surface area, numerous active sites, chemical stability, and superior electrical and thermal conductivity.

Our study relied on collecting and analyzing hundreds of data sets from public domains, which were carefully selected based on their quality and relevance to ensure reliability. We evaluated the suitability and storage capacity of 17 basins and sub-basins throughout the country for CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers as well as future depleted oil and gas reservoirs using the CO2-SCREEN tool. Our evaluation shows that the most suitable basins are located in the eastern part of the country, including the Eastern Arabian Basin and the Interior Homocline-Central Arch. On the other hand, Western Saudi Arabia is characterized by less favorable basins, except for the three moderately suitable onshore basins, namely the Umm Luj, Yanbu, and Jeddah basins. Uncertainties were considered by performing Monte Carlo simulations. At the 50th percentile uncertainty, the estimated total effective storage capacities in deep saline aquifers, future depleted oil reservoirs, and non-associated gas reservoirs are ~432, ~5, and ~ 9 gigatons (Gt), respectively. Most of the country's storage capacity is located in the eastern region, displaying an uneven distribution of storage resources nationally. For full transparency, we share all the calculation sheets utilized. The methodology adopted for estimating the potential capacity aligns with the effective storage capacities defined by the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF). The capacity estimates account for technical, geological, and engineering constraints. Nevertheless, it is crucial to note that the practical storage capacity estimate requires the incorporation of additional societal, economic, and regulatory factors, which were not taken into consideration in this study. Consequently, there is a pressing need for additional research, particularly prospect-level evaluations entailing drilling, testing evaluation, and monitoring wells. These comprehensive investigations will significantly contribute to our comprehension of reservoir and seal characteristics, assess injectivity performance, and provide profound insights into CO2 behavior, effectively mitigating uncertainties. The storage capacity estimates presented in this study furnish crucial information for policymakers and industry leaders engaged in addressing carbon emissions in Saudi Arabia.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2023.104539","authors":["Jing Ye","Abdulkader M.

Many factors affect the functioning of photovoltaic panels, including external factors and internal factors. External factors such as wind speed, incident radiation rate, ambient temperature, and dust accumulation on the PV cannot be controlled. The internal factors can be controlled, such as PV surface temperature. Some of the radiation falling on the surface of the PV cell turns into electricity, while the remainder of incident radiation is absorbed inside the PV cell. This, in turn, elevates its surface temperature. Undesirably, the higher panel temperature, the lower conversion performance, and lesser reliability over the long term occur. Hence, many cooling systems have been designed and investigated, aiming to effectively avoid the excessive temperature rise and enhance their efficiency. Many cooling methods are used to cool solar cells, such as passive cooling, active cooling, cooling with phase change materials (PCMs), and cooling with PCM with other additives such as nanoparticles or porous metal.

For this purpose, a variety of catalytic techniques and novel catalysts have been investigated. Among these catalysts, carbon nitride is presently deemed as one of the best candidates for the visible light photocatalysis due to its unique molecular structure and adequate visible-range bandgap. Its bandgap can be further engineered by structural and morphological manipulation or by doping/hybridization.

This paper provides a summary of the current state of knowledge on historical and future trends in climate and their impacts on California agriculture.

Therefore, this review provides an update of recent works utilizing biomass waste-AC to adsorb commonly-encountered adsorbates like Cr, Pb, Cu, Cd, Hg, and As. Various biomass wastes were employed in synthesizing AC via two-steps processing; oxygen-free carbonization followed by activation. In recent works related to the activation step, the microwave technique is growing in popularity compared to the more conventional physical/chemical activation method because the microwave technique can ensure a more uniform energy distribution in the solid adsorbent, resulting in enhanced surface area. Nonetheless, chemical activation is still generally preferred for its ease of operation, lower cost, and shorter preparation time. Several mechanisms related to heavy metal adsorption on biomass wastes-AC were also discussed in detail, such as (i) - physical adsorption/deposition of metals, (ii) - ion-exchange between protonated oxygen-containing functional groups (–OH, –COOH) and divalent metal cations (M 2+ ), (iii) - electrostatic interaction between oppositely-charged ions, (iv) - surface complexation between functional groups (−OH, O 2− , −CO–NH-, and –COOH) and heavy metal ions/complexes, and (v) - precipitation/co-precipitation technique. Additionally, key parameters affecting the adsorption performance were scrutinized. In general, this review offers a comprehensive insight into the production of AC from lignocellulosic biomass and its application in treating heavy metals-polluted water, showing that biomass-originated AC could bring great benefits to the environment, economy, and sustainability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134825","authors":["Anh Tuan Hoang","Sunil Kumar","Éric Lichtfouse","Chin Kui Cheng","Rajender S.

While CO2 mineralization plants have their specific a) CO2 supply, b) solid feedstock supply, c) energy supply, and d) product market, the plant-level cost estimation does not account for a large and potentially shared supply chain. In our study, we assess the economics of mineralization by designing and analyzing cost-optimal supply chains for CCUS by mineralization in Europe. Our results show that the CO2e abatement costs of individual mineralization plants in a supply chain range from 110 to 312 €/ton CO2e avoided. The proposed supply chains for CCUS by mineralization can avoid 60 Mt CO2e/year in Europe at CO2e abatement costs comparable to CO2 capture and geological storage. Furthermore, we identify five locations that could offer a robust business case for CO2 mineralization. The analysis thus shows pathways on how to add CO2 mineralization to the GHG mitigation portfolio of Europe.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2023.102496","authors":["Hesam Ostovari","Luis Kuhrmann","Fabian Mayer","Hannah Minten","André Bardow"],"tags":["Mineralization (soil science)","Supply chain","Greenhouse gas","Environmental science","Raw material"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-05-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2023.102496","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z"},{"id":"oa:W3105098767","name":"Machine learning for metabolic engineering: A review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Machine learning provides researchers a unique opportunity to make metabolic engineering more predictable.

The purpose of this review is to present the application prospects of carboxylic acids and the basic principles of CO 2 conversion into carboxylic acids through photo‐, electric‐, and thermal catalysis. Special attention is focused on the regulation strategy of the activity of abundant catalysts at the molecular level, inspiring the preparation of high‐performance catalysts. In addition, theoretical calculations, advanced technologies, and numerous typical examples are introduced to elaborate on the corresponding process and influencing factors of catalytic activity.

The presence of deleterious impurities in recycled Al alloys is increasing and this is the main drawback if compared to primary alloys. The continuous growth of undesired elements can be mitigated by different technologies, preliminary operations and treatments, and by the optimization of the melting process. Downgrading and dilution are possible solutions to reduce the rate of impurities, but they are not sustainable if the final use of Al alloy continuously increases. The main objectives in the development of the Al recycling are shown and discussed. In particular, the evolution of preliminary treatments of the scrap, as sorting, comminution and de-coating, is reported and a review of the melting technologies is also presented. However, the choice of performing preliminary operations to the melting stage, thus improving the operating conditions during the furnace running, is a trade-off between costs and process efficiency.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/met8040249","authors":["Stefano Capuzzi","Giulio Timelli"],"tags":["Scrap","Materials science","Process engineering","Process (computing)","Aluminium"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-04-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/met8040249","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z"},{"id":"oa:W4382934366","name":"The role of geomechanics for geological carbon storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gr.2023.07.003","authors":["Yongcun Feng","Shuai Zhang","Chengyun Ma","Fangrao Liu","Mojgan Hadi Mosleh","Hyundon Shin"],"tags":["Geomechanics","Caprock","Geology","Induced seismicity","Petroleum engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gr.2023.07.003","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z"},{"id":"oa:W4323024647","name":"Evolution and fabrication of carbon dot-based room temperature phosphorescence materials","source":"openalex","abstract":"Traditional room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials usually include organometallic composites and pure organic compounds, which generally possess the disadvantages of high toxicity, high cost and complicated preparation.

Eighty years later, with pioneering advances and series of breakthroughs in research and industrial innovations, plastics have become an integral part of our everyday lives. While the applications of plastics are multifarious, their unrestricted disposal is causing damage to the ecosystem services and biodiversity. Furthermore, the plastic economy entirely relies on non-renewable, climate-changing petrochemical resources. A circular economy (CE), which aims to retain plastics at their highest value for a longest period of time in the system is one of the strategies to overcome these challenges. The present article discusses about strategies that can be employed to incorporate circularity and concepts of CE in plastics production systems. It emphasizes that although CE aims at design out waste, it needs to go a step ahead and also consider the impact of raw materials, the entire product value chain and end-of life options to achieve sustainability. It captures the emerging area of biodegradable low carbon polymers from renewable resources with an emphasis on technical and environmental advantages that contribute to the reduction in carbon footprints. Research carried out from a sustainability standpoint by considering CO2 emissions right from production stage to end-of-life that helps in achieving a low carbon economy is reviewed. Some challenges that need to be addressed for future work, the potential role of sustainability analysis in enhancing the use of biopolymers are summarized. Furthermore, it sheds light on integrating a low carbon economy with the CE to achieve a holistic and sustainable plastics production value chain.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcomc.2021.100111","authors":["K.

Activated carbon fabrication is a two-step process; the precursor will first undergo carbonization, then, activation is carried out either physically or chemically to develop its porous surface for adsorption purposes. The main benefit of activated carbon is the customizable pore structure for different utilization, which can be easily achieved by the chemical activation process. The types and concentration of chemicals used for activation, pre-treatment of precursor, duration of the activation process, and the mass ratio of precursor to chemicals are proven to effectively influence the resulting pore structure.

It has emerged as a strategy for mitigating climate change and improving the soil carbon cycle (SCC). While previous review studies have primarily investigated the effects of biochar on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a considerable research gap remains regarding its impact on the SCC. The present study aims to bridge this gap by examining the main SCC components: total CO2 flux, total microbial respiration, and C sequestration. We conducted a global meta-analysis which included 75 studies and 250 observations. The results show an average 11% increase in soil total CO2 flux from biochar, but the confidence interval (CI) slightly touches the no-effect line (CI [0%, 23%]). Total microbial respiration remains unchanged after the application (10%, CI [− 2%, 23%]). In contrast, soil C sequestration benefits from biochar by 61% (CI [36%, 90%]). Our analysis identified key predictors affecting SCC components: experimental design, continent, biochar application rate, feedstock type, and pyrolysis temperature. Incubation experiments reveal benefits for all SCC components. The Middle East, Europe, and Asia exhibit potential for enhancing C sequestration with biochar. Higher application rates amplify C sequestration and total microbial respiration. Manure biochar enhances total microbial respiration, while woody biochar influences total CO2 flux. Furthermore, lower pyrolysis temperatures show promise for improving C sequestration and total microbial respiration. In conclusion, while biochar holds promise for C sequestration, its impact on total microbial respiration and total CO2 flux remains inconclusive.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s42773-024-00381-8","authors":["Madina Bekchanova","Tom Kuppens","Ann Cuypers","Marijke Jozefczak","Robert Malina"],"tags":["Biochar","Meta-analysis","Environmental science","Carbon fibers","Soil carbon"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s42773-024-00381-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z"},{"id":"oa:W3003262507","name":"Nanocellulose‐based polymer composites for energy applications—A review","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT With rapid fossil fuel consumption and ecological concerns, alternative options of green energy development and its efficient storage technology is an emergent area of research.

It seeks to produce a diverse array of natural farming methods and marketable products simultaneously. According to the food and agriculture organization (FAO), agriculture, forestry, and other land-use practices account for 24% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and total global livestock emissions of 7.1 gigatons of CO2-equivalent per year, representing 14.5% of total anthropogenic GHG emissions. For example, an agroforestry system that deliberately integrates trees and crops with livestock in agricultural production could potentially increase carbon sequestration and decrease GHG emissions from terrestrial ecosystems, thus helping to mitigate global climatic change. Also, agroforestry is capable of generating huge amounts of bio-mass and is believed to be particularly suitable for replenishing soil organic carbon (SOC). SOC is a crucial indicator for soil fertility since the change in SOC can explain whether the land use pattern degrades or improves soil fertility. Moreover, SOC found in soil in the form of soil organic matter (SOM) helps to improve soil health either directly or indirectly. Thus, efforts should be made to convince farmers to increase their resource-use efficiency and soil conserving ability to get maximum benefits from agriculture. Therefore, this review aimed at clarification about carbon farming, modifications in carbon cycle and carbon sequestration during agricultural development, and benefits of agroforestry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su131911122","authors":["Meenakshi Sharma","Rajesh Kaushal","Prashant Kaushik","Seeram Ramakrishna"],"tags":["Soil carbon","Greenhouse gas","Agriculture","Carbon sequestration","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-10-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su131911122","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z"},{"id":"oa:W3021216555","name":"Immobilization Techniques for Aptamers on Gold Electrodes for the Electrochemical Detection of Proteins: A Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"The development of reliable biosensing platforms plays a key role in the detection of proteins in clinically and environmentally derived samples for diagnostics, as well as for process monitoring in biotechnological productions.

Living soil microorganisms are a major engine of terrestrial biogeochemistry, driving the turnover of soil organic matter — Earth’s largest terrestrial carbon pool and the primary source of plant nutrients. Their metabolic functions are influenced by ecological interactions with other soil microbial populations, soil fauna and plants, and the surrounding soil environment. Remnants of dead microbial cells serve as fuel for these biogeochemical engines because their chemical constituents persist as soil organic matter. This non-living microbial biomass accretes over time in soil, forming one of the largest pools of organic matter on the planet. In this Review, we discuss how the biogeochemical cycling of organic matter depends on both living and dead soil microorganisms, their functional traits, and their interactions with the soil matrix and other organisms. With recent omics advances, many of the traits that frame microbial population dynamics and their ecophysiological adaptations can be deciphered directly from assembled genomes or patterns of gene or protein expression. Thus, it is now possible to leverage a trait-based understanding of microbial life and death within improved biogeochemical models and to better predict ecosystem functioning under new climate regimes. Soil microorganisms shape global element cycles in life and death. In this Review, Sokol and colleagues explore how the biogeochemical cycling of organic matter depends on both living and dead soil microorganisms, their functional traits, and their interactions with the soil matrix and other organisms.

Specific applications for nitride HEMTs include air, land and satellite based communications and phased array radar. Highly efficient GaN-based blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) employ AlGaN and InGaN alloys with different compositions integrated into heterojunctions and quantum wells. The realization of these blue LEDs has led to white light sources, in which a blue LED is used to excite a phosphor material; light is then emitted in the yellow spectral range, which, combined with the blue light, appears as white. Alternatively, multiple LEDs of red, green and blue can be used together. Both of these technologies are used in high-efficiency white electroluminescent light sources. These light sources are efficient and long-lived and are therefore replacing incandescent and fluorescent lamps for general lighting purposes. Since lighting represents 20–30% of electrical energy consumption, and because GaN white light LEDs require ten times less energy than ordinary light bulbs, the use of efficient blue LEDs leads to significant energy savings. GaN-based devices are more radiation hard than their Si and GaAs counterparts due to the high bond strength in III-nitride materials. The response of GaN to radiation damage is a function of radiation type, dose and energy, as well as the carrier density, impurity content and dislocation density in the GaN. The latter can act as sinks for created defects and parameters such as the carrier removal rate due to trapping of carriers into radiation-induced defects depends on the crystal growth method used to grow the GaN layers. The growth method has a clear effect on radiation response beyond the carrier type and radiation source. We review data on the radiation resistance of AlGaN/GaN and InAlN/GaN HEMTs and GaN–based LEDs to different types of ionizing radiation, and discuss ion stopping mechanisms. The primary energy levels introduced by different forms of radiation, carrier removal rates and role of existing defects in GaN are discussed. The carrier removal rates are a function of initial carrier concentration and dose but not of dose rate or hydrogen concentration in the nitride material grown by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition. Proton and electron irradiation damage in HEMTs creates positive threshold voltage shifts due to a decrease in the two dimensional electron gas concentration resulting from electron trapping at defect sites, as well as a decrease in carrier mobility and degradation of drain current and transconductance. State-of-art simulators now provide accurate predictions for the observed changes in radiation-damaged HEMT performance. Neutron irradiation creates more extended damage regions and at high doses leads to Fermi level pinning while 60 Co γ-ray irradiation leads to much smaller changes in HEMT drain current relative to the other forms of radiation. In InGaN/GaN blue LEDs irradiated with protons at fluences near 10 14 cm −2 or electrons at fluences near 10 16 cm −2 , both current-voltage and light output-current characteristics are degraded with increasing proton dose. The optical performance of the LEDs is more sensitive to the proton or electron irradiation than that of the corresponding electrical performances.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1149/2.0251602jss","authors":["S.

The selection is based on the consideration that the CO 2 reduction properties are influenced by the type of material/composite that is being used, the preparation, and the possible characterization method. This Review covers graphene-based materials and their composites as appropriate materials for reducing CO 2 and their performance assessment through experiments and theoretical analysis. It is very important to improve the efficiency performance of materials and its scalability. Recently, graphene has become a widely used material for environmental applications, one of which shows good performance in reducing CO 2 concentration. To separate CO 2, graphene has been developed and is now being showcased and reviewed in this study. Given the measuring technique used, this Review is intended to be a valuable resource for individuals researching CO 2 separation employing graphene material in combination with other materials.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c08722","authors":["Tri Komala Junita","Norman Syakir","Ferry Faizal","Fitrilawati Fitrilawati"],"tags":["Graphene","Composite number","Materials science","Carbon fibers","Nanotechnology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c08722","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406421279","name":"Waste-to-carbon-based supercapacitors for renewable energy storage: progress and future perspectives","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract The increasing demand for cost-effective materials for energy storage devices has prompted investigations into diverse waste derived electrode materials for supercapacitors (SCs) application. This review examines advancements in converting waste into carbon-based SCs for renewable energy storage.

These waste sources comprise of industrial, plastics and biowastes, including plant and animal wastes. The energy storage capabilities of the various waste derived SCs electrodes are highlighted to provide an understanding into the unique features that make them applicable to SCs. In addition, some challenges associated with the waste-derived SCs electrodes in terms of energy storage have been emphasized. Here, we also provided insights into the recent progress in SCs electrode synthesis techniques and their effects on electrochemical performance. SCs performance tailoring with material structures through the incorporation of different materials to form composites and optimized synthesis methods is an effective strategy. Hence, the synthesis methods outlined include pyrolysis, hydrothermal, microwave-assisted, template-assisted, and sol–gel techniques. The effect of the various synthesis methods on SCs performance has also been discussed.

Economic utilization of greenhouse gases in shale reservoirs not only increases oil or gas recovery, but also contributes to CO2 sequestration. In this paper, the feasibility and efficiency of gas injection approaches, including huff-n-puff injection and gas flooding in shale oil/gas/condensate reservoirs are discussed based on the results of in-situ pilots, and experimental and simulation studies. In each section, one type of shale reservoir is discussed, with the following aspects covered: (1) Experimental and simulation results for different gas injection approaches; (2) mechanisms of different gas injection approaches; and (3) field pilots for gas injection enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and enhanced gas recovery (EGR). Based on the experimental and simulation studies, as well as some successful field trials, gas injection is deemed as a potential approach for EOR and EGR in shale reservoirs. The enhanced recovery factor varies for different experiments with different rock/fluid properties or models incorporating different effects and shale complexities. Based on the simulation studies and successful field pilots, CO2 could be successfully captured in shale gas reservoirs through gas injection and huff-n-puff regimes. The status of flaring gas emissions in oilfields and the outlook of economic utilization of greenhouse gases for enhanced oil or gas recovery and CO2 storage were given in the last section. The storage capacity varies in different simulation studies and is associated with well design, gas injection scheme and operation parameters, gas adsorption, molecular diffusion, and the modelling approaches.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en12122355","authors":["Feng Du","Bahareh Nojabaei"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Petroleum engineering","Enhanced oil recovery","Environmental science","Oil shale"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-06-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en12122355","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z"},{"id":"oa:W2089995503","name":"Soybean Curd Residue: Composition, Utilization, and Related Limiting Factors","source":"openalex","abstract":"The production of soybean products has been increasing throughout the world, and there has been a corresponding increase in the quantity of soybean curd residue (SCR) being thrown out.

While the effects of soil management practices on C storage have been studied extensively, opportunities to select for C sequestration traits in crop plants remain largely unexplored. This review describes how genetic improvement of major US crops may have altered soil C stocks historically and identifies potential opportunities for plant breeding to increase cropland C stocks. Through quantitative literature review, we find that breeding has led to an increase in aboveground residue C inputs to the soil for corn (Zea mays L.) and soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr) and a decrease in aboveground residue C inputs for wheat (Triticum aestivum L. and Triticum turgidum L.). Breeding has largely not altered the root:shoot ratio of these crops. Given that there is limited potential for further major improvements in harvest index, breeding for high grain yields may necessitate increasing aboveground biomass and residue production in the future. Crop root traits and residue quality may influence the stabilization of crop‐derived C in soil, but there is uncertainty regarding historical changes in these traits due to breeding, the magnitude of their effect on soil organic C stocks, and tradeoffs or synergies with breeding for high yield. Nevertheless, root traits such as suberin content, rhizodeposition, mycorrhizal association, and depth emerge as potential targets for more efficient C stabilization. There is also a large opportunity for plant breeding to enhance the performance of cover crops, double crops, perennial grains, and perennial groundcovers, which can increase annual C inputs to the soil by occupying fallow periods. Our review reveals that there are many opportunities for plant genetic improvement to fix more C in cropping systems and enhance its stabilization in the soil to meet the goals of sustainable intensification and cropland C capture.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/csc2.20920","authors":["Hanna Poffenbarger","Michael J.

The exploitation of fossil fuels at such an alarming rate blurs the goals of sustainable development and controlling global warming as pledged during the Paris Agreement. Due to the detrimental effects of exhausts from conventional diesel fuel on the environment, biodiesel has earned significant importance during the last decade. Biodiesel is produced from different feedstocks such as neem oil, palm oil, waste frying oil, vegetable oil, animal fat, microbial oil, etc. These feedstocks react with acidic, alkaline, enzymic, homogeneous, heterogeneous, and hybrid Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) catalysts, along with monohydric alcohol via transesterification reaction. The flexibility in its feedstock and the type of catalysts used, production cost, biodegradable and renewable nature makes it a promising alternative fuel than conventional diesel. The selection of apt feedstock and catalyst is the challenging task and governing factor of economic biodiesel production. Green solvents such as DES have high thermal stability and low volatility and can address the economic and green production issues significantly as compared to conventional alkali and acid catalysts. This review bridges the gap between the selection of feedstock and optimal catalyst for the respective feedstock. The exploration of DES fills the gap by attributing to 3Rs (i.e., recyclability, recovery, and reusability).

Direct calcination of MOFs or COFs, in the presence or not of others carbon or heteroatom sources, could be considered an easy and practical approach for the synthesis of highly dispersed heteroatom-doped porous carbons but also new porous carbons in which single atoms of metallic species are present, showing a great development of the porosity; both characteristics of supreme importance for catalytic applications. The goal of this review is to provide an overview of the traditional methodologies for the synthesis of new porous carbon structures together with emerging ones that use MOFs or COFs as carbon precursors. As mentioned below, the catalytic application in fine chemical synthesis of these kinds of materials is at present barely explored, but probably will expand in the near future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/catal9020133","authors":["Elena Pérez‐Mayoral","Inês Matos","María Bernardo","Isabel Fonseca"],"tags":["Porosity","Calcination","Heteroatom","Materials science","Fine chemical"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-02-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/catal9020133","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z"},{"id":"oa:W4389270260","name":"Advancements in CO2 methanation: A comprehensive review of catalysis, reactor design and process optimization","source":"openalex","abstract":"Renewable electricity, production/storage and distribution of green hydrogen and carbon dioxide emission reduction are just three of the practices needed for a net zero-emission world. The increasing amount of renewable energy produced requires the development of versatile technologies capable to store the excess renewable electricity produced. Hydrogen production through electrolysis, despite not being still economically viable, can be considered a mature technology. Different strategies to convert H2 into more volumetric dense fuel are under development through Power-to-Chemicals (PtC) process. Among these, CO2 methanation offers the advantage of a wide infrastructure available for the distribution and use of methane as chemical and fuel for both heat and power generation. The latter approach, also called Power-to-Gas (PtG) process. These technologies in the last year have been the focus of research, both public and private. In particular, direct methanation of biogas obtained from anaerobic digestors represents a challenge and an interesting opportunity due to the possibility to avoid the CO2 separation step at the moment needed for biogas purification to biomethane. Since CO2 separation is an additional cost this route can be the key for economic sustainability of the process. In this review we focus on the main aspects involved in the design of a methanation plant, with a particular focus on the biogas methanation, starting from the reaction thermodynamics and kinetics. Afterwards, light is shed on the most interesting catalysts reported in the literature, with a focus on Ni-based catalysts and considering the support role in the reaction. Different kinetic approaches currently available and promising reactor types, including different simulation models, which are becoming increasingly fundamental in the reactor design and scale-up phase, are reported. Finally, the last chapter contains the most interesting and industrially relevant ongoing projects on direct biogas methanation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2023.11.060","authors":["Matteo Tommasi","Simge Naz Degerli","Gianguido Ramis","Ilenia Rossetti"],"tags":["Methanation","Renewable energy","Power to gas","Process engineering","Biogas"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2023.11.060","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.599Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781351116466-5","name":"A Short Review of Different Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture Processes (Adsorption on Solids and Absorption in Fluids)","source":"crossref","abstract":"In the capture of Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) gas, in relation to Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS), one finds many specific studies where different methods have been reported.

The attractiveness of applying CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technologies for these purposes stems from the possibility of reaching carbon neutrality while retaining the use of fossil fuels in the power industry for a long period of time. This is especially important with respect to coal as the most carbon-intensive fuel. The development of a CCS industry will open the possibility to make a smooth transition from the predominantly fossil-fuel based energy to energy on the basis of renewable and nuclear energy sources. It is shown that large-scale sequestration of carbon from the biosphere, which is the key biogenic chemical substance on the Earth, will not pose an essential hazard. It is important to ensure safety for people in the regions of storing large CO2 amounts. Assessments of the capacity of the reservoirs for long-term CO2 storage in various geological structures available on the Earth are given. It is revealed that this capacity is several times larger than the requirements for the entire 21st century. Such reservoirs are available in almost all regions on the Earth, although some individual countries may not have them at all. This can become a reason for development of local markets on rendering CO2 storage services. A significant experience with development and implementation of CCS projects has been gained around the world. A global CCS industry can already be established on the basis of commercially mastered technologies. The aim to be pursued by the development of new technologies is to decrease the CCS costs. This relates primarily to technologies for capturing CO2 from gaseous mixtures and storing it in rock formations. Since the CO2 emission centers and places suitable for storing it are spaced apart from each other, the construction of large pipeline systems for CO2 transportation over long distances will become inevitable. These pipeline systems can be commensurable in capacity and length with the existing gas networks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1134/s0040601522090014","authors":["S. P. Filippov","O. V.

Pelletizing into pellets is a core strategy to address the bottlenecks limiting its efficient utilization. In this work, a review of the latest progress in biomass pelletizing technologies were performed. Furthermore, the cutting-edge pathways were discussed for the high-value utilization of pelletized biomass. In the energy sector, the pelletized biomass significantly enhances combustion efficiency of the industrial boilers and facilitate the co-firing of biomass in coal-fired power plants. In the chemical industry, as an ideal precursor, pelletized biomass can be directionally converted into high-value chemicals via catalytic pyrolysis and hydrothermal liquefaction, highlighting the techno-economic potential of integrated fuel-chemical production. However, industrialization is still hampered by high feedstock collection costs, underdeveloped continuous production equipment, and the absence of a full life-cycle carbon accounting system.

International treaties such as the Paris Agreement (with 196 signatories) reflect the importance of anthropogenic climate change as a truly global public concern. Towards the aim of climate recovery, the most broadly utilized CO2 reduction strategies, including carbon capture and storage (CCS); carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS); and carbon capture and utilization (CCU) are reviewed herein. Of these methods, CCU shows the greatest potential by recycling captured CO2 and harnessing it as a resource to generate emissions-neutral or -negative value-added products (VAPs). Within CCU methodologies, biologically-mediated CCU (bio-CCU) by microalgae is a promising biotechnology to drastically reduce CO2 emissions. This review therefore details the mechanisms of photosynthesis to sequester CO2 and incorporate it into valuable biomolecules. Microalgal cells utilize CO2 as precursors of macromolecules, including lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and pigments; all of which are discussed within the frame of industrial relevance and market value. The biofixation potential of microalgae is clearly demonstrated by the carbon content of the myriad VAPs they produce. Moreover, pathways towards decreasing carbon footprint (via carbon capture prior to emission to the atmosphere) and increasing carbon handprint (reducing carbon emissions by consuming CO2-neutral or -negative products) related to bio-CCU are presented herein.

This rapid increase, driven by industrial expansion, fossil fuel dependence, and deforestation, highlights the pressing need for scalable and economically viable carbon sequestration methods. With their unique properties, such as high porosity and surface area, aerogels have emerged as a beacon of hope for industrial CO₂ capture. However, their practical applications are hindered by challenges such as mechanical fragility and high production costs. This literature review elucidates the environmental effects, economic viability, life cycle assessments, current trends, and future possibilities of aerogels used in CO₂ capture, particularly in the oil and gas industry, where their potential is significant. We demonstrate the existing methods for capturing and storing CO₂ within the sector. Additionally, we thoroughly analyze CO₂ capture performance using various adsorbents, including amines, metal-organic frameworks, carbon, zeolites, and aerogel-based options. This analysis considers factors such as CO₂ absorption capacity, energy required for regeneration, durability, economic feasibility, environmental implications, life cycle assessments, and distinct advantages. Moreover, we explore enhancements in aerogel fabrication methods, emphasizing large-scale affordability, cost-effectiveness, economic viability, and their respective advantages and disadvantages. We also provide an in-depth evaluation of different types of aerogels, highlighting their specific strengths and capabilities for CO₂ capture. We also present the results of integrating materials science, industrial engineering, and carbon mitigation policy by presenting various surface modification and integration techniques applied to aerogels to enhance their stability and effectiveness for CO₂ capture applications. Our analytical approach encompasses a techno-economic feasibility study and cost reduction strategies within key market sectors.

Decarbonising methods such as carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies are the future of the green economy and are considered one of the most significant alternatives for mitigating carbon emissions. Therefore, this review mainly focuses on life cycle assessment (LCA), the current state-of-the-art tool to determine the environmental performance of the technologies. This paper aims to assess papers published from the year 2019 to 2022 from all around the world to understand the trend, challenges, and prospects of CCUS technologies in reducing carbon and environmental impacts. This review concludes that the employment of carbon capture technologies can significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but also increase other environmental burdens such as acidification, eutrophication and ecotoxicity depending on the type of carbon capture method used, energy penalty and the rate of oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) emitted from the carbon capture infrastructure. Furthermore, Carbon Capture Utilisation (CCU) is a viable option to be employed in industries mainly to produce chemicals and use the captured carbon directly to combat GHG emissions with the proper modification of the carbon conversion method of the plant and the application of renewable energy. Although the Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) technology has an overall great impact on reducing Global Warming Potential (GWP), the increasing demand for fuel for the infrastructure causes environmental trade-offs with an increase in GHG emissions and other impact categories. The findings of this research would help in developing and implementing improvised methods and will provide a clear view of the prospects of CCUS technologies which will assist in decision-making.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/1167/1/012036","authors":["K Chelvam","M M Hanafiah"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-05-18T16:36:04Z","doi":"10.1088/1755-1315/1167/1/012036","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.600Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.600Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1088/2515-7655/ae24ac/v2/review2","name":"Review for \"Direct air capture with thermal energy storage: process design and electricity system impacts\"","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2515-7655/ae24ac/v2/review2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-26T22:57:39Z","doi":"10.1088/2515-7655/ae24ac/v2/review2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.600Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.600Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acsomega.5c11710","name":"Multi-Objective Optimal Dispatch of Integrated Energy Systems Guided by Dynamic Carbon Emission Factors.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Regional integrated energy systems (RIES) represent a promising approach for the energy transition and sustainable development, leveraging the flexible, coordinated operation of a multienergy system. With the growing penetration of renewable energy sources and the increasing complexity of energy management, the optimization of RIES necessitates the integration of demand response (DR) mechanisms. The optimization problems are increasingly characterized by multiobjective optimization. This study proposes a novel bilevel multiobjective optimization model for RIES, designed to minimize operational costs, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance load stability simultaneously. The model utilizes dynamic carbon emission factors, derived from the carbon emission flow (CEF) calculation, and time-of-use (TOU) energy pricing as DR signals. The Pareto front for demand-side strategies is obtained using the NSGA-II algorithm, coordinated with an upper-level economic dispatch solved by GUROBI, thereby balancing system and user benefits and identifying the optimal trade-offs among these conflicting objectives. Validation through integrated case studies with a 30-bus power, 20-node gas, and 8-node heat system demonstrates that multiobjective optimization with DR significantly improves economic and environmental performance: achieving a 10.29% cost reduction and a 1.42% carbon decrease, load variation was effectively managed, with electric and thermal load reductions of 3.50% and 6.50%, respectively.

The bioadsorbents were produced through a two-step process consisting of carbonization followed by KOH activation. The physicochemical properties of the bioadsorbents were characterized using SEM, FTIR, XRD, TGA and BET techniques. The CO 2 sorption capacity was examined for bioadsorbents and for the original biowaste and the biocarbons obtained after carbonization. Isothermal CO 2 adsorption tests were carried out at 25 °C under 100% CO 2 atmosphere. The influence of porous properties-such as specific surface area, total pore volume, micropore volume and average pore diameter-on the CO 2 sorption capacity was assessed for bioadsorbents, biocarbons and raw biowastes. The results showed that the most effective bioadsorbent for CO 2 capture was derived from spent dark roast coffee grounds, with a sorption capacity of 115.8 mg CO2 /g A . The favorable sorption performance of this bioadsorbent was attributed to its high specific surface area (1580 m 2 /g), the largest total pore volume (0.84 cm 3 /g) and micropore volume (0.5 cm 3 /g) among the tested materials, as well as an optimal average pore diameter (0.96 nm).

Consequently, one of the key future challenges will be managing these minerals responsibly to prevent depletion. Phosphorus, for instance, plays a crucial role in research on liquid organic hydrogen storage systems and is becoming increasingly important in catalyst development for water splitting.

We investigated how varying nitrate (NO 3 - ) and phosphate (Pi) supply, with or without AMF inoculation, reshapes the leaf metabolic network in poplar seedlings. Key findings reveal that AMF acts as a central metabolic hub, optimizing C-N-P coordination in an environment-dependent manner. Under low Pi, NO 3 - supply enhanced P remobilization and photosynthetic efficiency, boosting growth. AMF further optimized low-Pi adaptation by promoting P storage and buffering, significantly improving photosynthesis and biomass. Under high Pi, NO 3 - supply shifted focus towards enhancing Rubisco-mediated carbon assimilation. AMF synergistically improved carbon assimilation efficiency and suppressed non-essential P recycling. N metabolism effects of Pi were contingent on NO 3 - availability, and AMF reprogrammed N assimilation pathways accordingly, balancing uptake and utilization under different N regimes. Critically, AMF orchestrated environment-specific metabolic adjustments, reinforcing P buffering and photosynthetic gain under Pi limitation, and enhancing C assimilation efficiency while minimizing P waste under Pi sufficiency.

Vegetation restoration markedly reshaped the soil physicochemical and microbial context, as reflected by lower pH and higher TN, microbial biomass carbon, and enzyme activity in restored soils. In contrast, sulfur pools responded asynchronously: total sulfur and organic sulfur declined substantially from bare sandy land to restored vegetation types, whereas sulfate showed a weaker and comparatively more stable response. At the functional level, dominant sulfur-cycling genes were generally more abundant in bare sandy land, declined across restored vegetation types, and showed only partial recovery in forestland, indicating that restoration reorganized sulfur-cycling functional composition rather than uniformly enhancing sulfur-cycling potential. Taxonomically, dominant sulfur-cycling genes were consistently affiliated mainly with Actinomycetota and Pseudomonadota , but restored vegetation types exhibited more partitioned host compositions, with greater contributions from Acidobacteriota, Chloroflexota , and, for some genes, Thermoproteota . MAG-based analyses further showed that key sulfur-cycling genes were phylogenetically widespread but unevenly distributed across specific host lineages. Co-variation and Mantel analyses showed that sulfur-cycling genes formed coordinated functional modules and were most strongly associated with soil sulfur pools and fractions. Overall, vegetation restoration in the Mu Us Sandy Land primarily reshaped sulfur allocation and sulfur-cycling functional potential rather than promoting simple sulfur accumulation. These findings highlight that sulfur recovery in sandy drylands is better characterized by pool reallocation and functional reorganization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2026.1845938","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fmicb.2026.1845938","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.600Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.648Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/plants15121770","name":"Sex-Specific Adaptive Strategies of &lt;i&gt;Populus euphratica&lt;/i&gt; Along Developmental and Canopy Gradients Based on Leaf Trait Networks.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"To reveal the variation patterns and differences in the adaptation strategies of leaf functional traits between male and female Populus euphratica in an arid desert environment, this study evaluated the effects of sex, developmental stage, and their interaction on 31 leaf traits using variance partitioning and trait network analysis. Furthermore, we analyzed the topological characteristics of the trait networks across two dimensions: developmental stage and vertical canopy gradient. The results indicated that sex moderately explained the variation in leaf nutrient characteristics (N and K) and physiological resistance indicators (Pro). Meanwhile, developmental stage largely accounted for variations in traits such as leaf dry weight, leaf width, specific leaf area, and photosynthetic physiology. The interaction between sex and developmental stage significantly influenced leaf anatomical structures and water-use strategies. Leaf trait network analysis revealed that during development, the male network exhibited higher connectivity and shorter average path lengths, with its core traits shifting from photosynthetic physiological indicators to nutrient and water transport characteristics; female plants exhibited higher network modularity during key developmental stages, with core nodes concentrated on leaf area, biomass, and structural traits. Along the vertical canopy gradient, the male leaf trait network showed pronounced topological reorganization in the mid-to-upper layers, suggesting a stronger capacity to respond to environmental fluctuations. Conversely, the core hubs of the female leaf trait network shifted from morphogenesis toward a synergy between structure and metabolism, which may be associated with maintaining system stability at different canopy heights. These findings suggest that female and male P. euphratica may adopt \"conservative\" and \"acquisitive\" ecological adaptation strategies, respectively, potentially leading to differentiated patterns of trait variation and coordination. This study provides a theoretical basis for understanding the potential ecological adaptation mechanisms and evolutionary strategies underlying sexual dimorphism in desert plants.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/plants15121770","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/plants15121770","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.600Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.648Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ma19030605","name":"Editorial Materials: Special Issue on Advances in Luminescent Materials.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Engineered materials are purposely developed and manufactured materials that can be organic, inorganic, or organometallic [...].","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ma19030605","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/ma19030605","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.600Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.648Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/polym18091129","name":"Bifunctional Poly(ionic liquid) Membranes for CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; Utilization.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"In this study, the task of integrating capture and conversion of CO2 into a single material platform is realized by developing bifunctional membranes based on polymer ionic liquids (PILs).

In contrast to most previously reported imidazolium-based PILs, which have mainly been considered either as catalysts or as membrane materials, the present approach focuses on their dual functionality under both catalytic and gas transport conditions. A series of imidazolium-based PILs, including homopolymers and block copolymers with polystyrene, were synthesized. The materials were characterized to determine their catalytic activity during the cycloaddition of CO2 to epichlorohydrin and to determine their gas transport properties using pure gases (N2, O2, CO2) and a simulated dry flue gas mixture; membrane morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Block copolymers exhibited higher catalytic conversions (up to 82.7%) than homopolymers, with selectivities above 93%. Chloride-containing block copolymers gave the best combination of CO2 permeability (up to 7.5 Barrer) and CO2/N2 selectivity (18–22) under mixed-gas conditions. Iodide-containing analogs demonstrated higher selectivity (up to 30) but lower CO2 permeability. Morphological analysis confirmed the presence of dense, defect-free structures in materials with the chloride anion, while materials with the iodide anion showed increased free volume and microheterogeneity.

This review discusses mechanistic evidence on how pyrolyzed biomass solids interact with hydrating Portland cement systems and how those interactions propagate from the particle scale to bulk durability. Three coupled pathways are critically discussed. First, surface oxygen containing groups and high specific area promote calcium enrichment and provide templates for calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) precipitation, shifting hydration kinetics and densifying the interfacial transition zone (ITZ). In parallel, water stored within the hierarchical porosity of the particles can be released during self-desiccation, supporting continued hydration and limiting early age cracking through internal curing. Second, resistance to salt exposure is mainly improved indirectly: matrix densification reduces connectivity and increases tortuosity of transport pathways, lowering apparent diffusion and migration metrics. Possible direct anion uptake by the carbonaceous phase is evaluated as an open question because high pore solution alkalinity tends to render surfaces negatively charged, and reported outcomes vary with feedstock, pyrolysis temperature, and post treatments. Third, climate benefits arise from stable biogenic carbon storage and, in some systems, accelerated carbonation that increases calcium carbonate formation. The review highlights a key durability trade-off for reinforced concrete, where faster carbonation may reduce alkalinity and promote depassivation of steel. Finally, priorities are proposed for rational mix design, including property standardization, advanced nanoscale characterization, and long duration field validation to reconcile laboratory trends with structural risk and life cycle outcomes in practice.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d6ra00419a","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1039/d6ra00419a","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.600Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.648Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41467-026-69110-y","name":"Scalable modular design of solid oxide fuel cell systems for enhanced large-scale power generation.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The increasing demand for renewable energy integration and scalable power generation highlights the need for efficient and cost-effective solid oxide fuel cell systems.

Energy consumption variables, particularly electricity and natural gas, consistently emerged as the dominant drivers of both emissions and economic growth, while forest coverage showed minimal predictive power in our models.

The coal power plants in the Republic of Bulgaria have provided about one third of the annually produced electric power for decades, utilizing mainly locally available sources of lignite. The present work aimed to review the progress of the energy transition, its rejection and acceptance at the national and international scene alongside the available research for cleaner coal combustion in Bulgaria, as well as discuss a Bulgarian perspective for coal share reduction options for power generation during the energy transition. A comprehensive review was carried out, based on freely accessible data such as research and open media articles, officially published field reports, legislative and strategic acts as well as validated statistical data. Three groups of critical gaps (socioeconomic, sociotechnical and cultural and political) were indicated, claimed to be capable of guiding the just transition. Key factors influencing the process dynamics were identified and categorized in the context of the critical gaps. The peculiar policy criteria for the carbon-intensive regions are as follows: the dominant energy carriers, existing infrastructure, involved actors and choice of strategy. The observations allowed us to conclude that in addition to the efforts achieved and ambitious political will, the identification of reliable technological and socioeconomic measures is needed more than ever (accompanied by interdisciplinary research involving the technical, social and environmental and policy factors), while renewables still have long way to go towards complete substitution of the fossil fuels for power generation, transport, and manufacturing. Limited literature was found for reducing the share of coal from currently operating Bulgarian coal-fired power plants (CFPPs). Herein, short- and/or medium-term measures for carbon emission reduction were discussed, capable of promoting the limited operation of existing CFPPs, thus paving the road towards a sustainable, long-term transition. These measures concerned the typically used power units in the largest CFPPs located at the Maritsa Iztok Mining Complex (MIMC). Analyses of the biomass production, supply and cost for the same type of power units were proposed, considering the use of 100% biomass. Estimated costs, unit efficiencies and power generation were discussed along with the evaluations about the land use, ensuring a given annual productivity of wood chips from fast growing plants, e.g., Paulownia.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17040929","authors":["Georgi Todorov","Ivan Kralov","Ivailo Koprev","Hristo Vasilev","Iliyana Naydenova"],"tags":["Sociotechnical system","Energy transition","Renewable energy","Environmental economics","Context (archaeology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17040929","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.689Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.689Z"},{"id":"oa:W7127174109","name":"Beyond Antibiotics: Therapeutic Strategies Utilizing Probiotics and Bacteriophages Against Drug-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus","source":"openalex","abstract":"Staphylococcus aureus, as a critical zoonotic and foodborne pathogen, not only triggers public health threats such as food poisoning but also acts as a leading cause of diverse clinical infections, including skin infections, pneumonia, and endocarditis.

In this study, Lycium chinensis stalks were utilized as a precursor, and high-temperature pyrolysis was employed to incorporate nitrogen and magnesium (Mg) ions, resulting in the production of effective porous biochars designated as GPC-N and GPC-Mg. The surface morphology and physicochemical properties of these activated carbons were characterized using various techniques including Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicate that, under a mass ratio of 1:2.5 for Lycium chinensis stalks to H 3 PO 4, the optimal preparation conditions for magnesium-modified activated carbon (GPC-Mg) involve a GPC-to-Mg chloride mass ratio of 1:0.75, a holding time of 1 h, and a pyrolysis temperature of 800 °C. For ammonium chloride-modified activated carbon (GPC-N), the optimal preparation conditions consist of a GPC-to-ammonium chloride mass ratio of 1:3, a holding time of 1.5 h, and a pyrolysis temperature of 900 °C. The specific surface areas of GPC-Mg and GPC-N are 281.53 m 2 /g and 730.63 m 2 /g, respectively, with total pore volumes of 0.20 cm 3 /g and 0.41 cm 3 /g, and average pore diameters of 4.82 and 4.03 nm, respectively. Both materials are biomass-derived activated carbons predominantly characterized by mesoporous structures. Notably, GPC-N displayed a higher adsorption capacity for methylene blue at 496.53 mg/g, significantly surpassing that of GPC-Mg at 48.06 mg/g. The GPC-N biochar underwent in situ nitrogen doping that significantly reconstructed the electronic structure of the carbon matrix, forming abundant nitrogen-containing functional groups, primarily pyridinic nitrogen. In contrast, GPC-Mg optimized its pore structure through the template effect induced by magnesium ions; however, it exhibited a lower density of surface active chemical sites compared to GPC-N. Consequently, the nitrogen-doped biochar demonstrated superior surface area and chemical morphology. The adsorption process was best described by Langmuir isotherm models along with pseudo-second-order kinetic models and intraparticle diffusion models. These findings indicate that chemical adsorption serves as the primary mechanism involved in this process while highlighting synergistic effects between surface adsorption and pore diffusion during adsorption.

In Portugal, where fire-prone landscapes and species composition dynamics pose increasing management challenges, understanding the carbon storage potential of forest biomass is crucial for designing effective decarbonization strategies. This study provides a comprehensive characterization of the Portuguese forest and quantifies the biogenic carbon stored in live and dead biomass across the main forest species. Species-specific carbon contents, rather than the conventional 50% assumption widely used in the literature, were applied to National Forest Inventory data, enabling more realistic and representative carbon stock estimates expressed in kilotonnes of CO2 equivalent. While the approach relies on inventory-based biomass data and literature-derived carbon fractions and is therefore subject to associated uncertainties, it provides an improved representation of species-level carbon storage at the national scale. Results show that Pinus pinaster, Eucalyptus globulus, and Quercus suber together represent the largest share of carbon storage, with approximately 300,000 kilotonnes of CO2 equivalent retained in living trees. Wood is the dominant carbon pool, but roots and branches also account for a substantial fraction, emphasizing the need to consider both above- and below-ground biomass in carbon accounting. In parallel, a bibliometric analysis based on the systematic evaluation of scientific publications was conducted to characterize the evolution, thematic focus, and geographic distribution of global research on forest-based biogenic carbon. This analysis reveals a rapidly expanding scientific interest in biogenic carbon, particularly since 2020, reflecting its growing relevance in climate change mitigation frameworks.

The model is validated against the presently recorded experimental data for the non-reacting flow cases, and it is validated against the available literature data for oxy-fuel combustion for the reacting flow cases. A modified two-step oxy-combustion reaction kinetics model for methane is implemented in the present model. Simulations are performed over wide range of operating oxidizer ratios (O2/CO2 ratio), from OR = 0.2 to OR = 0.4, and over wide range of equivalence ratios, from φ = 0.7 to φ = 1.0. The flame length was decreased as a result of the increase of the oxidizer ratio. Effects of CO2 recirculation amount on the oxy-combustion flame stability are examined. A reduction in combustion temperature and increase in flame fluctuations are encountered while increasing CO2 concentration inside the reactor. At high equivalence ratio, the combustion temperature and flame stability are improved. At low equivalence ratio, the flame length is increased, and the flame was moved towards the reactor center line.

Noble metals (e.g., Pt, Rh, Ru, Pd, and Au), transition metals (e.g., Ni, Co, and Cu), and bimetallic composites were the most used catalysts in ethanol‐steam reforming reactions.

Herein, magnetic–dielectric synergistic gradient MMs (MDSGM) consisting of oriented flaky carbonyl iron (FCI) film and periodical RGO/CNT/CNF aerogel (GTFA) array are demonstrated. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of strong magnetic–dielectric loss, structural loss, and excellent impedance matching, MDSGM harvests an exciting multispectral ultra‐broadband EMW absorption performance with a remarkable effective absorption bandwidth covering the whole measured frequency of 1–40, 50–110 GHz, and 0.1–2.0 THz for the first time.

In this study we demonstrate that in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), two distinctly localized acetate-activating enzymes, ACETYL-COA SYNTHETASE (ACS) in plastids and ACETATE NON-UTILIZING1 (ACN1) in peroxisomes, function redundantly to prevent the accumulation of excess acetate. In contrast to the near wild-type morphological and metabolic phenotypes of acs or acn1 mutants, the acs acn1 double mutant is delayed in growth and sterile, which is associated with hyperaccumulation of cellular acetate and decreased accumulation of acetyl-CoA-derived intermediates of central metabolism. Using multiple mutant stocks and stable isotope-assisted metabolic analyses, we demonstrate the twin metabolic origins of acetate from the oxidation of ethanol and the nonoxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, with acetaldehyde being the common intermediate precursor of acetate. Conversion from pyruvate to acetate is activated under hypoxic conditions, and ACS recovers carbon that would otherwise be lost from the plant as ethanol. Plastid-localized ACS metabolizes cellular acetate and contributes to the de novo biosynthesis of fatty acids and Leu; peroxisome-localized ACN1 enables the incorporation of acetate into organic acids and amino acids. Thus, the activation of acetate in distinct subcellular compartments provides plants with the metabolic flexibility to maintain physiological levels of acetate and a metabolic mechanism for the recovery of carbon that would otherwise be lost as ethanol, for example following hypoxia.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.19.01162","authors":["Xinyu Fu","Hannah Yang","Febriana Pangestu","Basil J.

This approach employs the dynamic inflow performance relationship (IPR)−outflow performance relationship (OPR) technique, applying it to the FEED of the CO 2 transport–injection–storage system to enable CO 2 injection into a saline aquifer via a single injection well connected through an onshore hub terminal and a subsea pipeline. By adjusting decision variables (CO 2 discharge pressure at the onshore hub terminal, pipeline diameter, tubing diameter, and CO 2 temperature at the wellhead), three objectives (CO 2 storage capacity, safety, and economic benefit) are optimized through MOO, identifying the Pareto‐optimal front (POF) among objective functions. These trade‐off solutions provide reliable ranges for the four decision variables used in the nodal analysis, which considers real‐time pressure and temperature variations in the system during CO 2 injection, along with the associated facility qualifications and operating conditions.

These features make Cu-MOFs promising candidates for a wide range of applications spanning catalysis, energy conversion and storage, and chemical sensing. This review highlights recent advances in the synthesis and design strategies of Cu-MOFs, including conventional solvothermal and hydrothermal routes, microwave- and sonochemical-assisted methods, electrochemical synthesis, and postsynthetic modifications. Particular emphasis is placed on the ability of these synthetic approaches to tune particle size, morphology, porosity, and stability, which, in turn, dictate their functional performance. The catalytic applications of Cu-MOFs are critically examined, with a focus on photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and heterogeneous catalytic processes for pollutant degradation, hydrogen production, and carbon dioxide reduction. In the context of energy storage, the integration of Cu-MOFs into supercapacitors and batteries is discussed, highlighting their roles in enhancing the capacity, conductivity, and cycling stability. Furthermore, the potential of Cu-MOFs as sensitive and selective sensing platforms for gases, biomolecules, and environmental pollutants is explored, underscoring their versatility beyond catalytic applications. Despite rapid progress, key challenges remain in scaling up the synthesis, ensuring long-term structural stability, and integrating Cu-MOFs into practical devices. Future research directions include the development of cost-effective green synthesis methods, hybrid composite materials with enhanced conductivity, and defect and interface engineering to tailor activity and durability.

For the sake of comprehensively improving device performance, a dual‐functional method of simultaneously passivating trap defects in both the perovskite and ETL films is proposed that utilizes guidable transfer of Eu3+ in SnO2 to perovskite. Europium ions are distributed throughout the SnO2 film during the formation process of SnO2, and they can diffuse directionally through the SnO2/perovskite interface into the perovskite, while most of the europium ions remain at the interface. Under the synergistic effect of distributed Eu3+ in the SnO2 and aggregated Eu3+ at the interface, the electron mobilities of ETLs are evidently improved. Meanwhile, diffused Eu3+ ions passivate the perovskite to reduce trap densities at the grain boundaries, which can dramatically elevate the open‐circuit voltage (Voc) of PSCs. Finally, the mainly PSCs coated on SnO2:Eu3+ ETL achieve a power conversion efficiency of 20.14%. Moreover, an unsealed device degrades by only 13% after exposure to ambient atmosphere for 84 days.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202001466","authors":["Yali Chen","Xuejiao Zuo","Yiyang He","Qian Fang","Shengnan Zuo","Yalan Zhang","Lei Liang","Zuqin Chen","Kui Zhao","Zhike Liu","Jing Gou","Shengzhong Liu"],"tags":["Passivation","Perovskite (structure)","Materials science","Energy conversion efficiency","Grain boundary"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-01-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202001466","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W3215651295","name":"Editorial: NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE in context","source":"openalex","abstract":"Over the past 6 years, we have witnessed dramatic changes in the way in which carbon management is perceived. Not only is carbon management now discussed as part of the spectrum of climate solutions and decarbonization pathways, but CO2 conversion into materials—also known as ‘carbontech’—and the related solution spaces of CO2 removal, geologic sequestration and natural carbon sinks are now viewed as part of a continuum of carbon-management approaches [1–3]. The success of the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE over that time has helped to drive this change in perception in part by stimulating technology innovation and tangible technology demonstrations. This is especially remarkable considering the state of the conversation around CO2 conversion in 2015 when the prize launched, at which time there was no broad consensus that carbontech could be relevant to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and industrial decarbonization at all. What was once viewed as a curiosity, a fringe climate solution or even an impractical distraction is now viewed as a key piece of a circular carbon economy vision and a near-term path to decarbonization of sectors of the economy such as concrete, steel, chemicals and heavy manufacturing [4]. The NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE launched in 2015 with a simple premise: the winning team will convert the most CO2 into products with the highest value. This statement embodied the two key objectives of the Carbon XPRIZE: scaling up technologies to consume industrial emissions and using those waste carbon emissions to create economic value. The thinking was that if these two key objectives were met, then the competition would inspire businesses to form ideas that could generate revenue to offset the costs of emissions reductions and unleashing the free market on our fight against climate change [5]. Now that the competition has come to a close, we reflect on the burgeoning carbontech space and celebrate the 10 companies who competed as finalists of the prize, including the two winners, CarbonCure and CO2 Concrete. At the same time, the impact of the competition goes well beyond the achievements of these companies and includes the deep technical learning, evaluation approaches and results that underpinned the prize. The engineering and scientific core of the prize centred on the specific innovations of the competing teams and the rigorous approach to technology verification, life-cycle analysis, engineering design and pilot-project execution. Those topics, and the technical data and learning that they have generated, are the focus of the articles in this issue. Much of the data and analysis presented here have been under embargo over the past few years for the sake of protecting the integrity of the competition and the commercial and research interests of the innovators themselves. We are now pleased to have this platform in which to share many of the detailed technical details and lessons learned from the prize.

This aspect of electrocatalysis is addressed herein, where the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity of β-Co(OH) 2 platelet particles of well-defined structure is investigated in alkaline media using multiscale scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM). Microscale SECCM probes of ∼50 μm diameter provide voltammograms from small particle ensembles (ca. 40–250 particles) and reveal increasing dispersion in the OER rates for samples of the same size as the particle population within the sample decreases. This suggests the underlying significance of heterogeneous activity at the single-particle level that is confirmed through single-particle measurements with SECCM probes of ∼5 μm diameter. These measurements of multiple individual particles directly reveal significant variability in the OER activity at the single-particle level that do not simply correlate with the particle size, basal plane roughness, or exposed edge plane area. In combination, these measurements demarcate a transition from an “individual particle” to an “ensemble average” response at a population size of ca. 130 particles, above which the OER current density closely reflects that measured in bulk at conventional macroscopic particle-modified electrodes. Nanoscale SECCM probes (ca. 120 and 440 nm in diameter) enable measurements at the subparticle level, revealing that there is selective OER activity at the edges of particles and highlighting the importance of the three-phase boundary where the catalyst, electrolyte, and supporting carbon electrode meet, for efficient electrocatalysis. Furthermore, subparticle measurements unveil heterogeneity in the OER activity among particles that appear superficially similar, attributable to differences in defect density within the individual particles, as well as to variations in electrical and physical contact with the support material. Overall this study provides a roadmap for the multiscale analysis of nanostructured electrocatalysts, directly demonstrating the importance of multilength scale factors, including particle structure, particle–support interaction, presence of defects, etc., in governing the electrochemical activities of β-Co(OH) 2 platelet particles and ultimately guiding the rational design and optimization of these materials for alkaline water electrolysis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.3c06335","authors":["Minkyung Kang","Cameron L.

Our analysis demonstrates that ERPs substantially enhanced carbon sequestration, with gains exceeding 80% in some regions, but triggered spatially divergent water-soil trade-offs.

Multiple characterization analyses prove that abundant intrinsic defects are generated at the edge sites, resulting in the formation of thermally stable unstitched Fe‐N 3 motif. Theoretical investigations unveil that the transition from Fe‐N 4 to Fe‐N 3 induces structural alteration, resulting in the convergence of Fe‐3 d orbital energy to Fermi energy.

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are seen as a solution to the problem because they are more cost and environment friendly. Due to rapid industrialization and government incentives for zero-emission transportation, a significant challenge is also constituted in power grids by the self-interested nature of PEVs, with the asymmetry of information between the charging power demand and supply sides. In this paper, we propose an optimal strategy in industrial energy management system, based on evolutionary computing, to characterize different charging situations. The proposed approach considers stochastic, off-peak, peak, and electric power research institute charging scenarios for attaining the vehicle-to-grid capacity in terms of optimal cost and demand. An extensive scheduling of charging cases is studied in order to avoid power outages or scenarios in which there is a significant supply-demand mismatch. Furthermore, the proposed scheme model also reduces the greenhouse gases emission from generation side to build a sustainable generation infrastructure, which maximizes the utility of fuel-based energy production in the presence of certain nonlinear constraints. The simulation analysis demonstrates that PEVs can be charged and discharged in a systematic manner. The participation of transferable load through the proposed methodology can significantly reduce the economic costs, pollutant impacts, efficiency, and security of power grid operation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/access.2023.3258859","authors":["Ijaz Ahmed","Muhammad Rehan","Abdul Basit","Muhammad Tufail","Keum‐Shik Hong"],"tags":["Computer science","Greenhouse gas","Smart grid","Photovoltaic system","Grid"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1109/access.2023.3258859","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W2521530573","name":"Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Wrapped by Various Polymers","source":"openalex","abstract":"North Carolina State University Theses Textile Engineering, Chemistry and Science.","url":"https://openalex.org/W2521530573","authors":["Srinivasa Syamal Sanmath Tallury"],"tags":["Carbon nanotube","Molecular dynamics","Polymer","Dynamics (music)","Nanotechnology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2009-08-07","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W4386356240","name":"Bacterial Cellulose Aerogels Derived from Pineapple Peel Waste for the Adsorption of Dyes","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Valorization of pineapple peel waste is an attractive research topic because of the huge quantities of this byproduct generated from pineapple processing industries. In this study, the extract from pineapple waste was collected to produce a hydrogel-like form containing bacterial cellulose fibers with a three-dimensional structure and nanoscale diameter by the Acetobacter xylinum fermentation process. The bacterial cellulose suspension was subsequently activated by freeze-drying, affording lightweight aerogels as potential adsorbents in wastewater treatment, in particular the adsorptive removal of organic dyes. Intensive tests were carried out with the adsorption of methylene blue, a typical cationic dye, to investigate the influence of adsorption conditions (temperature, pH, initial dye concentration, time, and experiment scale) and aerogel-preparation parameters (grinding time and bacterial cellulose concentration). The bacterial cellulose-based aerogels exhibited high adsorption capacity not only for methylene blue but also for other cationic dyes, including malachite green, rhodamine B, and crystal violet (28–49 mg/g). However, its activity was limited for most of the anionic dyes, such as methyl orange, sunset yellow, and quinoline yellow, due to the repulsion of these anionic dyes with the aerogel surface, except for the case of congo red. It is also an anionic dye but has two amine groups providing a strong interaction with the hydroxyl group of the aerogel via hydrogen bonding. Indeed, the aerogel has a substantially large congo red-trapping capacity of 101 mg/g. Notably, the adsorption process exhibited similar performances, upscaling the solution volume to 50 times. The utilization of abundant agricultural waste in the simple aerogel preparation to produce a highly efficient and biodegradable adsorbent is the highlight of this work.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c03130","authors":["Ha V.

Through a mixed methods approach that includes expert interviews with 12 executive staff from airlines and airports and a targeted literature review, our research provides original data on means and challenges to decarbonize the aviation industry in the SEAO region. The findings reveal that significant hurdles persist while the aviation sector is actively pursuing decarbonization strategies, such as enhancing operational efficiency, adopting effective carbon offsetting measures, and transitioning to sustainable aviation fuels . Notably, using sustainable aviation fuels holds promise, potentially reducing carbon emissions by up to 70 %. However, its current contribution to total consumed jet fuel remains below 1 %. The industry is taking steps to address this by optimizing flight paths, schedules, and making strategic investments to decrease the costs associated with sustainable aviation fuels. Our qualitative data also underscores the influence of external factors, including investor pressure, national and international regulations, and a growing demand from environmentally conscious travellers for cleaner transport alternatives. Failure from airline industries to adopt more sustainable and efficient practices could lead to increased operating costs and revenue loss as corporate clients and customers increasingly seek greener transportation options.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2024.133809","authors":["Fadhli Wong","Dlzar Al Kez","Dylan D.

Among various catalyst systems, carbon-based catalysts exhibit unique advantages due to their tunable pore structures, adjustable surface chemistry, and intrinsic electrical conductivity. Unlike non-carbon supports, conductive carbon matrices actively regulate coke evolution by facilitating electron transfer at metal-carbon interfaces, thereby promoting carbon dissolution-precipitation pathways and the transformation of amorphous coke into ordered graphitic structures. This distinctive 'coke management' behavior mitigates active-site encapsulation and directly links electrical conductivity to catalyst stability and long-term reforming performance. Based on structural controllability and functional mechanisms, carbon-based catalysts can be classified into two categories: conventional carbon catalysts (e.g., biochar and coal char), which are low-cost and readily available but exhibit structural heterogeneity, and advanced carbon catalysts (e.g., MOFs-derived carbons, carbon nanotubes, and graphene-based materials), which possess ordered pore networks, well-defined metal-support interactions, and highly graphitized conductive frameworks. While conventional carbons are attractive for large-scale application, their disordered microstructures limit precise control over mass transfer, metal dispersion, and coke evolution. In contrast, advanced carbon materials provide model platforms to elucidate structure-activity-stability relationships and to establish transferable design principles.

Improved understanding of the controls on the spatial and temporal variability of water sources and how they mix in riparian zones is therefore of both fundamental and applied interest. In this study, we have combined topographic indices derived from a high-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with repeated spatially high-resolution synoptic sampling of multiple tracers to investigate such dynamics of source water mixing. We use geostatistics to estimate concentrations of three different tracers (deuterium, alkalinity, and dissolved organic carbon) across an extended riparian zone in a headwater catchment in NE Scotland, to identify spatial and temporal influences on mixing of source waters. The various biogeochemical tracers and stable isotopes helped constrain the sources of runoff and their temporal dynamics. Results show that spatial variability in all three tracers was evident in all sampling campaigns, but more pronounced in warmer dryer periods. The extent of mixing areas within the riparian area reflected strong hydroclimatic controls and showed large degrees of expansion and contraction that was not strongly related to topographic indices. The integrated approach of using multiple tracers, geospatial statistics, and topographic analysis allowed us to classify three main riparian source areas and mixing zones. This study underlines the importance of the riparian zones for mixing soil water and groundwater and introduces a novel approach how this mixing can be quantified and the effect on the downstream chemistry be assessed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2015wr017519","authors":["Jason S.

To enhance renewable energy utilization and reduce carbon intensity, a multi-hydrogen supply strategy is developed in which green hydrogen partially replaces conventional gray hydrogen, while carbon recycling is achieved through coordinated P2G–CCS operation. Meanwhile, a staged integrated demand response mechanism is introduced to jointly coordinate electricity, heating, and cooling loads by combining price-based demand response with incentive-based programs, thereby improving system flexibility under high renewable penetration. A coastal industrial park is employed as a case study to evaluate the economic and environmental performance of the proposed framework. The model is calibrated using representative industrial-park load profiles, equipment parameters, and market coefficients, and is validated through energy-balance checks, component-limit checks, scenario consistency analysis, and parameter sensitivity analysis. Simulation results demonstrate that, under a realistic multi-hydrogen-supply configuration with coordinated P2G–CCS operation and integrated demand response, the proposed approach reduces carbon emissions by more than 50% and total system cost by approximately 24%, while significantly improving renewable energy accommodation. These findings highlight that the synergistic coordination of P2G–CCS and staged demand response enables a structurally efficient pathway to jointly optimize carbon mitigation, economic performance, and renewable energy integration in hydrogen-IES.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2026.1814200","authors":["Rui Dong","Xuefei Liu","Hongjie Li","Yuanyuan Song","Runzhi Zhang"],"tags":["Demand response","Renewable energy","Flexibility (engineering)","Computer science","Energy carrier"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2026.1814200","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W4226297814","name":"Machine learning fromPseudomonas aeruginosatranscriptomes identifies independently modulated sets of genes associated with known transcriptional regulators","source":"openalex","abstract":"The transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa coordinates cellular processes in response to stimuli.

To meet the global demand for phytonutrients, oil palm has emerged as a promising source of phytonutrients on account of its large-scale plantation worldwide and high oil productivity. Phytonutrients including carotenoids, tocols, sterols, squalene, phospholipids, coenzyme Q10, and polyphenols can be found in crude palm oil as well as in the byproducts (e.g. palm oil mill effluent and palm-pressed fiber oil) generated from the palm oil milling process.

Another major challenge is the retention of the sensitive phytonutrients during the extraction process. Over the years, the advances in the extraction methods have improved the extractability of phytonutrients. The emerging extraction methods can operate under mild conditions to mitigate the risk of phytonutrient degradation. This review outlines the types of phytonutrient in palm oil and their extraction strategies. The working principles and operating conditions of extraction methods are discussed along with their potential and limitations in terms of extraction efficiency and practicability. The methods for pretreatment of feedstocks for improving extraction efficiency are also highlighted. The challenges in the extraction of phytonutrient from palm oil feedstock are summarized.

One of the ways to do so is by using agro-industry wastewater to cultivate microalgae. While the industrial production of microalgae requires large volumes of water, existing agro-industry processes generate large volumes of wastewater with eutrophicating nutrients and organic carbon that must be removed before recycling the water back into the environment. Coupling these two processes can benefit the flourishing microalgal industry, which requires water, and the agro-industry, which could gain extra revenue by converting a waste stream into a bioproduct. Microalgal biomass can be used to produce energy, nutritional biomass, and specialty products. However, there are challenges to establishing stable and circular processes, from microalgae selection and adaptation to pretreating and reclaiming energy from residues. This review discusses the potential of agro-industry residues for microalgal production, with a particular interest in the composition and the use of important primary (raw) and secondary (digestate) effluents generated in large volumes: sugarcane vinasse, palm oil mill effluent, cassava processing waster, abattoir wastewater, dairy processing wastewater, and aquaculture wastewater. It also overviews recent examples of microalgae production in residues and aspects of process integration and possible products, avoiding xenobiotics and heavy metal recycling. As virtually all agro-industries have boilers emitting CO2 that microalgae can use, and many industries could benefit from anaerobic digestion to reclaim energy from the effluents before microalgal cultivation, the use of gaseous effluents is also discussed in the text.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/fermentation8120728","authors":["Júlio César de Carvalho","Denisse Tatiana Molina-Aulestia","Walter José Martínez-Burgos","Susan Grace Karp","Maria Clara Manzoki","Adriane Bianchi Pedroni Medeiros","Cristine Rodrigues","Thamarys Scapini","Luciana Porto de Souza Vandenberghe","Sabrina Vieira","Adenise Lorenci Woiciechowski","Vanete Thomaz‐Soccol","Carlos Ricardo Soccol"],"tags":["Wastewater","Effluent","Biomass (ecology)","Biofuel","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-12-12","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/fermentation8120728","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402996982","name":"Research on the Integrated Development of Nuclear Energy and Aviation Industry under the Background of 'Dual Carbon' Goals","source":"openalex","abstract":"The aviation sector, which is predominantly reliant on fossil fuels, confronts a monumental challenge in striving for net-zero CO2 emissions by the year 2050.

We evaluated several strategies for producing from a Permian Basin, West Texas, USA field’s ROZ. This ROZ lies below the main pay zone (MPZ) of the field. Such brownfield ROZs occur in the Permian Basin and elsewhere. Since brownfield ROZs are hydraulically connected to the MPZs, development sequences and schemes influence oil production, CO2 storage, and net present value (NPV). We conducted economic assessments of various CO2 injection/production schemes in the stacked ROZ-MPZ reservoir based on flow simulations of a high-resolution geocellular model built from wireline logs and core data and calibrated through production history matching. Flow simulations of water alternating gas (WAG) injection, such as switching injection from the MPZ to the ROZ, commingled production was studied. The simulation results showed that simultaneous CO2 injection into the MPZ and ROZ lead to the highest oil production and, generally, the highest NPV. If instead, CO2 was simultaneously injected into the MPZ and ROZ, then into the ROZ alone, this maximized CO2 storage. CO2 storage can be used as a tax credit under the Internal Revenue Code Section 45Q. Storage performance depended on the development approach and WAG ratio. Developing the ROZ increased storage compared to remaining in the MPZ. The WAG ratio to maximize oil production did not always yield the largest NPV. These findings can be applied to other Brownfield ROZs, which are common below San Andres reservoirs in the Permian Basin and other basins. ROZ development can increase oilfields’ NPV and carbon storage potential. Our study is an analog for similar reservoirs.

This review summarizes these interdisciplinary trajectories and presents a plan for engineers and policymakers to transform construction and demolition waste (CDW) from a problem into a strategic resource for climate-adaptable urban development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18062759","authors":["Sérgio Roberto da Silva","Pietra Moraes Borges","Nikola Tošić","Jairo José de Oliveira Andrade"],"tags":["Demolition","Circular economy","Demolition waste","Sustainability","Engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-12","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18062759","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405475931","name":"A Room‐Temperature Terahertz Photodetector Imaging with High Stability and Polarization‐Sensitive Based on Perovskite/Metasurface","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Terahertz (THz) polarization detection facilitates the capture of multidimensional data, including intensity, phase, and polarization state, with broad applicability in high‐resolution imaging, communication, and remote sensing. However, conventional semiconductor materials are limited by energy band limitations, rendering them unsuitable for THz detection. Overcoming this challenge, the realization of high‐stability, room‐temperature polarization‐sensitive THz photodetectors (PDs) leveraging the thermoelectric effect of Cs 0.05 (FA 0.85 MA 0.15 ) 0.95 Pb(I 0.85 Br 0.15 ) 3 (CsFAMA)/metasurfaces is presented. Two different structures of (T‐shaped and I‐shaped) THz PDs are constructed. The incorporation of perovskite/metasurfaces forms enhanced local field thermoelectric effect and polarization response. Owning to THz surface plasmon polariton (SPP) resonance effect and more boundary effect, the I‐shaped PDs exhibit superior performance, achieving a response of up to 94 V/W, with a response time of 138 µs, a low noise‐equivalent power of 5.03 pW/Hz 1/2 and an anisotropy ratio of 1.38 under 0.1THz laser irradiation. Furthermore, the PD's stability is verified with the anisotropy ratio decreased by only 2% and polarization imaging results after 240 days of storage in air condition.

Plastid establishment necessitated many steps, including the transfer and activation of endosymbiont genes that were relocated to the nuclear genome of the 'host' followed by import of the encoded proteins into the organelle. These innovations are, however, highly complex and could not have driven the initial formation of the endosymbiosis. We postulate that the re-targeting of existing host solute transporters to the plastid fore-runner was critical for the early success of the primary endosymbiosis, allowing the host to harvest endosymbiont primary production. RESULTS: We tested this model of transporter evolution by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the plastid permeome in Arabidopsis thaliana. Of 137 well-annotated transporter proteins that were initially considered, 83 that are broadly distributed in Plantae were submitted to phylogenetic analysis. Consistent with our hypothesis, we find that 58% of Arabidopsis transporters, including all carbohydrate transporters, are of host origin, whereas only 12% arose from the cyanobacterial endosymbiont. Four transporter genes are derived from a Chlamydia-like source, suggesting that establishment of the primary plastid likely involved contributions from at least two prokaryotic sources. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that the existing plastid solute transport system shared by Plantae is derived primarily from host genes. Important contributions also came from the cyanobacterial endosymbiont and Chlamydia-like bacteria likely co-resident in the first algae.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/gb-2007-8-10-r212","authors":["Heather M.

Yet, accurate assessments of how grazer exclusion impacts SOC pools of differing stability are lacking, with most studies focusing on total SOC rather than the distribution of SOC within fast and more stable, slow-cycling pools. Here, we used 12 historically grazed grassland sites along an 800 km south-north gradient across the United Kingdom to test how particulate (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) pools were linked to long-term (>10 y) exclusion of large domesticated grazers. We found that grazer exclusion was associated with relatively higher fast-cycling C pools, including plant and litter C, and to a lesser extent POC, but lower more stable, slow-cycling MAOC pools compared to grazed controls. Grazer exclusion was also associated with a marked shift in vegetation composition, with greater cover of ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) shrubs over arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) graminoids. This vegetation shift likely played a dual role in regulating SOC, contributing to higher POC via both the input of recalcitrant litter and by the enhancement of soil moisture and lower MAOC due to priming and decreased mineral protection of SOC. Our findings provide evidence that while the exclusion of grazers tends to favor fast-cycling C pools, it coincides with lower SOC persistence, potentially increasing the vulnerability of grassland SOC stocks to future climate change.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2512048123","authors":["Luhong Zhou","Shangshi Liu","Maarten Schrama","Deborah Ashworth","Richard D.

However, traditional grid-average carbon factors lack the spatio-temporal granularity required for real-time regulation. To address this, this paper proposes a “Prediction-Optimization” closed-loop framework for electric vehicle (EV) fleets. First, a hybrid forecasting model (VMD-BSLO-CTL) is constructed. By integrating Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) with a CNN-Transformer-LSTM network optimized by the Blood-Sucking Leech Optimizer (BSLO), the model effectively captures multi-scale features. Validation on the UK National Grid dataset demonstrates its superior robustness against prediction horizon extension compared to state-of-the-art baselines. Second, a multi-objective Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy is developed to guide EV charging. Applied to a real-world station-level scenario, the strategy navigates the trade-offs between user economy and grid stability. Simulation results show that the proposed framework simultaneously reduces economic costs by 4.17% and carbon emissions by 8.82%, while lowering the peak-valley difference by 6.46% and load variance by 11.34%.

This study proposes a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) framework combined with the g-function approach to integrate Borehole Thermal Energy Storage (BTES) technology into energy system optimization. Validation against a Modelica-based reservoir network simulation demonstrates that the proposed framework effectively captures the ground thermal response under varying energy loads and accurately estimates the borefield energy supply. To enhance scalability, a Rolling Horizon with Multi-Timescale (RH-MTS) method is further introduced, reducing computational time by 73 % for the 1-year optimization model with only minor loss of optimality. The framework is demonstrated through the case study of the UC Berkeley campus. Results indicate that BTES is a cost-effective and low-carbon solution: two borefields comprising 382 boreholes can meet 8.0 % and 6.6 % of the total campus heating and cooling demand, respectively, at an average energy rate of 0.70–0.77 USD/kWh and carbon intensity of 0.54 kg-CO 2 /kWh. Short-term analysis reveals a 35%–65% decline in BTES energy flow after 3–6 months of continuous heating/cooling operation, while long-term simulation shows that annual energy production of BTES can vary by up to 12.0 % after four years before stabilizing. Overall, this study develops a novel optimization framework that couples physics-based g-function method with MILP optimization framework, thereby advancing methodological development for shallow-geothermal integration and providing actionable guidance for BTES deployment in district-energy systems. • Propose a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) framework combined with the g-function approach for integrating Borehole Thermal Energy Storage (BTES) technology into energy system optimization. • Introduce a Rolling Horizon with Multi-Timescale (RH-MTS) method to significantly improve the model solvability while incurring only a slight and acceptable loss of optimality. • Demonstrate the application value of the MILP g-function method and RH-MTS method using UC Berkeley campus as a case study. • Quantitatively assess the shallow geothermal potential for cost savings and carbon reduction on the UC Berkeley main campus.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2026.141111","authors":["Jiahui Yang","Kenichi Soga","Matthias Sulzer","Kecheng Chen"],"tags":["Borehole","Linear programming","Horizon","Energy (signal processing)","Thermal"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2026.141111","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W4292879111","name":"1T metallic vanadium disulfide hybridized with MXene and functionalized‐MWCNT as a remarkable electrode for high power density asymmetric supercapacitor applications","source":"openalex","abstract":"The present work explores the 1 T Metallic Vanadium disulfide/MXene/functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (1 T-VS2-MX-CNT) ternary hybrid prepared by a facile hydrothermal method for high-performance asymmetric supercapacitor applications.

A 35 cm composite core was employed to simulate the reservoir conditions after pre-fracturing. Experimental results indicated that the CO2 huff-n-puff process yielded the highest oil production, enhancing the overall recovery factor by 33.0% compared to depletion production, with a total recovery factor of 43.8% after four optimized cycles. The CO2/water alternate huff-n-puff process increased the recovery factor by 28.3%, achieving a total of 41.9% after four cycles. In contrast, water injection improved the recovery factor by only 15.2%, reaching a total of 26.2% after three cycles. By evaluating both oil recovery efficiency and oil exchange ratio, the optimal cycle numbers were determined as four cycles for CO2 huff-n-puff, four cycles for CO2/water alternate huff-n-puff, and three cycles for water huff-n-puff.

Then, one discusses what may be the next steps in terms of policies and developments to succeed in implementing the plan. Overall, it is concluded that green hydrogen could be the faster, more sustainable, and more efficient method to implement in Colombia. However, blue hydrogen could play an essential role if oil and gas companies assess the advantages of carbon dioxide utilization and promote its deployment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15238862","authors":["Sebastián Mantilla","Diogo M.F.

While remote sensing has enormous potential to assess, scale, and contextualize biocrusts and their functions, the applicability of hyperspectral data in predicting C‐ and N‐related biocrust traits remains largely unexplored. We address this issue by evaluating the potential of in situ hyperspectral data to predict C and N across a range of biocrust species and different environmental conditions. We found that in situ hyperspectral reflectance measurements can be used to predict biocrust tissue C/N ratios and N concentrations with relatively high accuracy but to a lesser extent for potential biocrust N2 fixation rates. Critical wavelength domains included the visible region of the spectrum from roughly 490–600 nm, which most effectively captured variations in biocrust tissue C, and the shortwave infrared region from 1,150 to 1,350 nm and 1,550–1,650 nm, which most effectively captured biocrust tissue N and N2 fixation potential. Finally, we provide evidence that multi‐ and hyperspectral missions with targeted band placement, such as the proposed 26‐band Landsat Next, could be effective in predicting biocrust traits. This work provides a critical step in understanding how to apply data from new and upcoming satellite missions to the monitoring of biocrusts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024jg008089","authors":["Dong Yan","Sasha C.

Organometallic materials such as metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) offer reversible redox activity, tunability, and high theoretical capacity, yet their practical use is constrained by low conductivity, electrolyte solubility, and limited cycling stability. In this study, we address these limitations through a molecular engineering strategy by synthesizing and directly comparing monomeric cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) with a novel cross‐linked polymeric cobalt phthalocyanine (pCoPc) as anode materials for LIBs. The pCoPc is prepared via a one‐pot cyclotetramerization of pyromellitic dianhydride with a cobalt source, forming an extended conjugated network. FTIR, Raman, XRD, and electron microscopy confirm the successful construction of the polymeric framework, which exhibits reduced particle size and a porous, interconnected morphology relative to monomeric CoPc. As a LIB anode, pCoPc delivers a high specific capacity of 1087 mAh g −1 at 100 mA g −1 over 100 cycles, along with excellent rate capability and long‐term stability. These improvements arise from enhanced structural integrity, increased accessible redox sites, improved conductivity, and suppressed dissolution. This work highlights polymeric MPcs as promising anode materials and presents a rational design strategy for high‐energy organometallic electrodes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adsu.202501667","authors":["Keshavananda Prabhu Channabasavana Hundi Puttaningaiah","Shambhulinga Aralekallu"],"tags":["Materials science","Monomer","Anode","Cobalt","Phthalocyanine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adsu.202501667","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W7128369376","name":"A pedogeomorphic strategy for tidal marsh carbon accounting","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Tidal marsh soils have some of the largest carbon stocks of any ecosystem, yet uncertainty remains about the best approach to quantify these C stocks. We tested whether separating tidal marshes into pedogeomorphic units (PGUs) could improve regional‐scale blue C accounting in two separate regions on the Atlantic coast: southern New England (NE) and northern Southeast (SE). We identified four dominant PGUs in each region and measured soil C stocks in 105 pedons to 2 m. Average carbon stocks among PGUs ranged from 84 to 430 and 140 to 790 Mg C ha −1 for the 1‐ and 2‐m sampling depths, respectively. We found significant differences in C stocks among PGUs ( p < 0.0001) in each region with NE marshes having significantly higher per area C stocks compared to SE at both sampling depths. A common benchmark in blue C inventories is to sample to 1 m, but we found that on average 40% of the C within 2 m occurred in the lower meter, underscoring the need to sample to 2 m. Recent studies suggest that until a better approach is identified, a single value of 27 kg C m −3 be used for C accounting in tidal marshes. On average, this overestimated C stocks in the SE by 37% and underestimated in the NE by 35%. Our findings emphasize that C stocks in tidal marshes can vary greatly by geomorphic setting and suggest a pedogeomorphic framework with sampling to at least 2 m offers an effective approach for future tidal marsh C accounting.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/saj2.70197","authors":["Joseph Manetta","Marissa A.

Such solutions often need to be implemented in landscapes in which there are longer established values for other ecosystem services including wildlife and timber production. Here we develop an integrative model that illustrates the inherent trade‐offs that will arise among the competing values for landscape space and how to resolve them. The analysis characterizes boreal forest ecosystem dynamics involving interactions among the main trophic compartments of an intact boreal ecosystem, aka “nature.” The model accounts for carbon accumulation via biomass growth of forest trees (timber), carbon loss due to controls from moose herbivory that varies with moose population density (hunting), and soil carbon inputs and release, which together determine the carbon sink strength of the ecosystem. We link the ecological dynamics with an economic analysis by assigning a price to carbon stored within the intact boreal forest ecosystem. We then weigh these carbon impacts against the economic benefits of timber production and hunting across a range of moose population densities. Combined, this carbon‐bioeconomic program calculates the total ecosystem benefit of a modeled boreal forest system, providing a framework for examining how different forest harvest and moose densities influence the achievement of carbon storage targets, under different levels of carbon pricing. The analysis shows that promoting nature‐based solutions merely for carbon storage may result in loss of a key part of “nature” via loss of the trophic structure and key functional controls in the ecosystem.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4963","authors":["Jonah Ury","Matthew J.

Furthermore, implications of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Initiative (CPEC; 2017-2030), the biggest infrastructure investment program ever in Pakistan, are discussed.

Herein, we introduce a dual-site functional orchestration strategy by employing a single electrolyte additive, 2-imidazolidone (ELA), to concurrently stabilize both the anode and cathode interfaces. On the anode side, the carbonyl (C=O) functional group of ELA initiates an effective anodic modulation, regulating the Zn 2+ solvation environment and facilitating a dynamic adsorption layer. This homogenizes the ion flux and guides preferential Zn deposition along the (002) plane, effectively suppressing dendrite formation. Concurrently, at the cathode, the imino (N-H) group immobilizes soluble polyiodide species via hydrogen bonding, realizing an effective cathodic mooring. This targeted confinement arrests the shuttle effect without impeding the intrinsic redox kinetics. This synergistic stabilization translates into exceptional electrochemical performance, with symmetric cells achieving an ultra-long lifespan of over 5500 h at a high current density of 8 mA cm -2 and the full Zn||I 2 cells demonstrating robust cycling with 79.4% capacity retention after 2500 cycles.

Major drivers of differences in key metabolic gene abundances are associated with environmental variables that largely change with depth and season (e.g., temperature, oxygen, phosphate). For sulfur oxidation, bacterial photosynthesis, and denitrification, genes within each process are generally significantly correlated with each other and with several environmental variables. For other processes, such as nitrification, nitrogen fixation, and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium, genes that encode enzymes within the same pathway are not well correlated. The lack of correlation typically results from differences in identified taxa carrying these genes, suggesting modular pathway structure, methodological errors, or discrepancies in gene copy number between taxonomic groups.

Hence, understanding past extremes provides a template for contemporary ecological models and management. Nevertheless, myths can develop around historical climatic events, distorting perceptions of the past. The mythology of the Murray River in Australia is that over 100 years ago, it naturally “dried to a series of pools” in drought; therefore, the biota are flexible and adapted to hydrological variability and lentic habitats. Analysis of historical and modelled hydrology and hydrodynamics, however, demonstrates that: (a) cease‐to‐flow events were not natural and were instead caused by multiple small‐scale irrigation diversions; and (b) the Murray River had widespread perennial lotic habitats. Within a generation, the spatial, temporal, and causal context was lost and with it, the links between preregulation hydrology and hydraulics, and river ecology. From an intermittently lentic system, we propose an alternative model which integrates ecohydrology and ecohydraulics. Specifically, the model incorporates: (a) persistence of lotic in‐channel and lentic off‐channel refugia, even in droughts; and (b) a reliable spring flow pulse that increases hydrodynamic complexity, promotes longitudinal integrity of lotic conditions and replenishes low‐lying wetlands. The model helps explain the decline of lotic biota, suggesting that hydraulic change has had a greater impact on aquatic biodiversity than changes in hydrology.

Similarly, when gross domestic product and financial development rise, the need for highly energy‐intensive items and services increases transportation sector‐based carbon emissions. To minimize Japan's transportation sector‐based carbon emissions, governments should emphasize innovation and adoption of hybrid electric vehicle‐related technologies, boost renewable energy consumption, and prohibit emissions‐intensive imports and exports.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1477-8947.12523","authors":["Qiuying Chen","Shoukat Iqbal Khattak","Manzoor Ahmad"],"tags":["Carbon dioxide","Business","Environmental science","Natural resource economics","Industrial organization"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1477-8947.12523","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405809664","name":"Game-Theoretic Approaches for Power-Generation Companies’ Decision-Making in the Emerging Green Certificate Market","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study examines the decision-making optimization of Power-Generation Enterprises (PGEs) in the green certificate market, with a focus on balancing bidding strategies and carbon-reduction targets.

A standalone fire model (SFM) based on a state-of-the-art large-scale forest fire modelling algorithm is used to explore fuel removal through prescribed burnings and improved fire suppression as adaptation options. The climate change projections are provided by three climate models reflecting the SRES A2 scenario. The SFM’s modelled burned areas for selected test countries in Europe show satisfying agreement with observed data coming from two different sources (European Forest Fire Information System and Global Fire Emissions Database). Our estimation of the potential increase in burned areas in Europe under “no adaptation” scenario is about 200 % by 2090 (compared with 2000–2008). The application of prescribed burnings has the potential to keep that increase below 50 %. Improvements in fire suppression might reduce this impact even further, e.g. boosting the probability of putting out a fire within a day by 10 % would result in about a 30 % decrease in annual burned areas. By taking more adaptation options into consideration, such as using agricultural fields as fire breaks, behavioural changes, and long-term options, burned areas can be potentially reduced further than projected in our analysis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10113-014-0621-0","authors":["Nikolay Khabarov","A.

A flexible econometric model is applied to high-frequency, near-time data, spanning January 2015 through May 2023. A potential endogeneity bias of trade is circumvented by an instrumental-variables approach. Results indicate that expanding renewable energy exerts downward pressure on price, countering trends like the nuclear phaseout, a rising carbon price, increased electrification, and a high gas price. The collective impact suggests a considerably higher electricity price in the coming years compared to pre-crisis levels. This finding is corroborated by a fundamental energy system model.

For 50 years, X‐ray based measurement techniques have been the de facto standard. However, studies report offsets in the mean levels for MXD measurements derived from different laboratories, indicating challenges of accuracy and precision. Moreover, reflected visible light‐based techniques are becoming increasingly popular, and wood anatomical techniques are emerging as a potentially powerful pathway to extract density information at the highest resolution. Here we review the current understanding and merits of wood density for tree‐ring research, associated microdensitometric techniques, and analytical measurement challenges. The review is further complemented with a careful comparison of new measurements derived at 17 laboratories, using several different techniques. The new experiment allowed us to corroborate and refresh “long‐standing wisdom” but also provide new insights. Key outcomes include (i) a demonstration of the need for mass/volume‐based recalibration to accurately estimate average ring density; (ii) a substantiation of systematic differences in MXD measurements that cautions for great care when combining density data sets for climate reconstructions; and (iii) insights into the relevance of analytical measurement resolution in signals derived from tree‐ring density data.

An in-house developed modeling platform featuring custom MATLAB (R2025a) code implements a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model that minimizes differential net present value (NPV) over a 25-year lifetime, integrating capital expenditures, operating cash flows, and carbon taxation. The formulation captures temperature-dependent PV efficiency, battery round-trip efficiency, and time-varying electricity prices, and is validated on a real campus energy community with hourly demand, irradiance, and tariff data. Two design scenarios are examined: the optimal unconstrained case and a budget-constrained configuration (CAPEX ≤ 2.0 M€). Results show the unconstrained system installs 3.19 MWp PV and 12.3 MWh storage, achieving 78.9% self-sufficiency and a 78.9% emissions reduction. The constrained case installs 0.99 MWp and 1.68 MWh, achieves 32.0% self-sufficiency, and delivers a 4.46 M€ NPV with payback in 3.9 years. Under current costs and tariffs, PV-dominated configurations provide the highest value, with limited battery benefit except under generous budgets or higher carbon prices. A dedicated CAPEX sensitivity analysis explores PV and battery cost variability and its impact on optimal sizing and economic outcomes. The core methodological contribution is a master-planning formulation that solves design decision variables and optimal dispatch concurrently within a single MILP.

Constant changes in environmental conditions, such as light availability, temperature, and access to nutrients, create the need to balance the photochemical reactions and the metabolic demands of the cell. Thus, cyanobacteria and microalgae evolved several auxiliary electron transport (AET) pathways to disperse the potentially harmful over-supply of absorbed energy. AET pathways are comprised of electron sinks, e.g. flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) or other terminal oxidases, and pathways that recycle electrons around photosystem I, like NADPH-dehydrogenase-like complexes (NDH) or the ferredoxin-plastoquinone reductase (FQR). Under controlled conditions the need for these AET pathways is decreased and AET can even be energetically wasteful.

Herein, we present the synthesis of EC through the transesterification of urea with ethylene glycol (EG) using a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) derived Fe-doped ZnO catalyst (Fe;ZnO-ZIF). The Fe;ZnO-ZIF catalyst, prepared by incorporating Fe dopant atoms into a ZnO-ZIF template, demonstrates excellent catalytic activity, achieving high conversion of reactants and superior selectivity toward EC at 160 °C for 150 min under an applied vacuum (160 mmHg). Based on the thermogravimetric, X-ray spectroscopic, and temperature-programmed desorption analysis, the simultaneous presence of strong Lewis acidic and basic sites in Fe;ZnO-ZIF enables its excellent catalytic performance toward EC synthesis with high selectivity. Acidic sites activate the carbon center in urea, while basic sites facilitate the nucleophilic attack on urea by deprotonation of EG. This synergistic reaction pathway resulting from the interaction between the strong Lewis acidic and basic sites promotes nucleophilic attacks of EG on urea, leading to significantly higher conversion efficiency and selectivity, compared to the commercial benchmark ZnO. Although the establishment of a continuous reaction system which takes into account cyclability and stability of the catalysts is further required in the future, our research reported herein provides valuable insights into the design of synergistic, localized active sites for EC synthesis and contributes to the development of sustainable carbon utilization technologies for achievement of net-zero emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c05023","authors":["Sumin Lee","Hyun‐Joo Lee","Seung Hwan Chung","Je Seung Lee","Sung Yul Lim"],"tags":["Catalysis","Lewis acids and bases","Zeolitic imidazolate framework","Selectivity","Ethylene glycol"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c05023","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W2918039855","name":"Optimal Planning of Integrated Energy Systems for Offshore Oil Extraction and Processing Platforms","source":"openalex","abstract":"With the introduction of new technologies, such as waste heat recovery units (WHRU), associated gas utilization, the energy flow coupling relationship is further deepened within the energy system of the offshore oil and gas production platform.

The framework is evaluated over a century-long period from 2031 to 2130, spanning both injection and post-injection phases. Three baseline architectures are compared under a strict realization-level split, namely a multilayer perceptron (MLP), a convolutional neural network (CNN), and a graph neural network (GNN). Among the tested baselines, the GNN delivers the strongest overall accuracy and the most faithful spatial reconstruction, particularly for plume front geometry and deformation localization under unseen geological realizations. At the same time, the proposed model should be interpreted as an emulator of simulator-derived observables rather than as a conservation-enforcing THMC solver. We therefore position the framework as a fast forecasting layer complemented by uncertainty quantification and physics-aware plausibility checks, not as a replacement for full-physics simulation in regulatory or site-specific design studies.

Yet, the greatest part of the required energy in the coming decade will still come from fossil sources. Fortunately, however, the highest growth rate will be seen in renewable energy sources. The World Energy Outlook 2022 report of the International Energy Agency (IEA) summarizes the longer-term global energy mix.

In relative terms, the share of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) in total energy supply is expected to decrease from just under 80% in 2020 to slightly above 60% in 2040. The main scenario also shows that about 60% of all new power generation capacity to 2040 shall regard renewables (IEA 2022a ). Under the more ambitious ‘Announced Pledges Scenario’ (APS), global energy demand is expected to increase by only 0.2% per annum to 2030 (0.8% p.a. in the STEPS) combined with a much stronger shift to low emission energy sources.

To facilitate the connection of renewable DG without the need for expensive and time-consuming network reinforcements, distribution networks should move from passive to active methods of operation, whereby technical network constraints are actively managed in real time. This requires the deployment of control solutions that manage network constraints and, crucially, ensure adequate levels of energy curtailment from DG plants by using other controllable elements to solve network issues rather than resorting to generation curtailment only.This thesis proposes a deterministic distribution Network Management System (NMS) to facilitate the connections of renewable DG plants (specifically wind) by actively managing network voltages and congestion in real time through the optimal control of on-load tap changers (OLTCs), DG power factor and, then, generation curtailment as a last resort. The set points for the controllable elements are found using an AC Optimal Power Flow (OPF). The proposed NMS considers the realistic modelling of control by adopting one-minute resolution time-series data. To decrease the volumes of control actions from DG plants and OLTCs, the proposed approach departs from multi-second control cycles to multi-minute control cycles. To achieve this, the decision-making algorithm is further improved into a risk-based one to handle the uncertainties in wind power throughout the multi-minute control cycles. The performance of the deterministic and the risk-based NMS are compared using a 33 kV UK distribution network for different control cycles. The results show that the risk-based approach can effectively manage network constraints better than the deterministic approach, particularly for multi-minute control cycles, reducing also the number of control actions but at the expense of higher levels of curtailment.This thesis also proposes energy storage sizing framework to find the minimum power rating and energy capacity of multiple storage facilities to reduce curtailment from DG plants. A two-stage iterative process is adopted in this framework. The first stage uses a multi-period AC OPF across the studied horizon to obtain initial storage sizes considering hourly wind and load profiles. The second stage adopts a high granularity minute-by-minute control driven by a mono-period bi-level AC OPF to tune the first-stage storage sizes according to the actual curtailment. The application of the proposed planning framework to a 33 kV UK distribution network demonstrates the importance of embedding real-time control aspects into the planning framework so as to accurately size storage facilities. By using reactive power capabilities of storage facilities it is possible to reduce storage sizes. The combined active management of OLTCs and power factor of DG plants resulted in the most significant benefits in terms of the required storage sizes.","url":"https://openalex.org/W2326607119","authors":["Sahban W.

However, its overall performance is relatively low due to poor charge separation. Engineering the g-C 3 N 4 structure by introduction of a carbon (C) vacancy is an effective strategy to mitigate severe charge recombination, while amine groups (–NH 2 ) could be beneficial for CO 2 capture. Herein, we present a facile method for spontaneous growth of amine-functionalized g-C 3 N 4 with rich C vacancies by adding trace Ni 2+ ions during thermal treatment. Insightful investigation by various advanced characterizations revealed that the carbon defects could induce a microporous structure, resulting in high surface area. In addition, the resultant defects upshift the conduction band of g-C 3 N 4 and promote charge carrier separation. Both of these contribute to enhanced CO 2 reduction ability. Meanwhile, the exposed edge amino enhances the CO 2 adsorption strength, as verified by both experimental and theoretical results.

PS/P(MMA-AAm-EGDMA) composite polymer particles were then synthesized by aqueous seeded copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and acrylamide (AAm) in the presence of an ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) cross-linker. Finally, the amide moieties of PS/P(MMA-AAm-EGDMA) composite particles were converted into an amine-functionalized composite by using the Hofmann degradation reaction. The presence of primary amine groups on the surface of aminated composite particles was confirmed by some conventional chemical routes, such as diazotization and Schiff’s base formation reactions. The formation and functionality of the PS seed, PS/P(MMA-AAm-EGDMA), and aminated PS/P(MMA-AAm-EGDMA) composite polymer particles were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra analyses. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed spherical shape, size, and surface morphologies of the PS seed, reference composite, and aminated composites. The elemental surface compositions, surface porosity, pore volume, pore diameter, and surface area of both composite particles were evaluated by energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) analyses. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and ζ-potential measurements confirmed the pH-dependent surface properties of the functionalized particles. The amount of the adsorbed anionic emulsifier, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), on the surface of aminated PS/P(MMA-AAm-EGDMA) is higher at pH 4 than that at pH 10. A vice versa result was found in the case of cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTABr), adsorption. Synthesized aminated composite particles were used as an adsorbent for CO 2 adsorption via bubbling CO 2 in an aqueous medium. The changes in dispersion pH were monitored continuously during the adsorption of CO 2 under various conditions. The amount of CO 2 adsorption by aminated composite particles was found to be 209 mg/g, which is almost double that of reference composite particles.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c02976","authors":["Md.

These limitations increase computational cost and compromise generalization and robustness. This paper presents a hybrid deep learning-optimization framework that leverages cognitively inspired metaheuristics to address these challenges, employing the Binary iHow Optimization Algorithm (biHOW) for feature selection and its continuous counterpart, iHOW, for hyperparameter tuning. Both variants emulate human cognitive phases-data absorption, information analysis, reinstitution, and adaptive knowledge development enabling efficient traversal of complex search spaces. Using the Multi-Scale Attention Network (MSAN) as the forecasting backbone, which is well suited for modeling renewable energy time series due to its ability to capture multi-scale temporal dependencies ranging from short-term fluctuations to long-term seasonal patterns, the proposed framework achieved high accuracy for wind and solar generation prediction. The MSAN model attained Mean Squared Errors (MSE) of 0.0105 for wind and 0.0976 for solar forecasting. Applying biHOW for feature selection reduced the average misclassification rate to 0.3925 (wind) and 0.4161 (solar) while identifying compact, interpretable feature subsets. The iHOW optimizer further fine-tuned architectural and training parameters, decreasing MSE to [Formula: see text] for wind and [Formula: see text] for solar, outperforming state-of-the-art metaheuristics including HHO, GWO, PSO, and JAYA. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of iHOW-based optimization in enhancing forecasting accuracy and computational scalability.

Our study focuses on the PG&E service area in Northern California, which serves 4.8 million electricity customers and is subject to aggressive targets for both EV adoption and electrification of residential space and water heating. We create spatio-temporally detailed electricity demand forecasts, and compare that demand to distribution infrastructure limits across a range of technology adoption scenarios. We find that electrification of residential space and water heating will lead to fewer impacts on distribution feeder capacity than EV charging, but that both transitions will require an acceleration of the current pace of upgrades. We also find that timing and location have a strong influence on total capacity additions in important ways: for example, scenarios that favor daytime EV charging have similar impacts to those with managed nighttime residential charging, but uncontrolled nighttime residential charging could have significantly larger impacts. We project that these upgrades will add at least $1 billion and potentially over $10 billion to PG&E’s rate base. We conclude that measures that enable the completion of a high number of upcoming upgrade projects—including addressing workforce and supply chain constraints, and pursuing non-wires alternatives like energy storage and demand response—are critical to successful electrification.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2634-4505/ac949c","authors":["Salma Elmallah","Anna M.

Through spontaneous host–guest self‐assembly, an angstrom‐level space‐confined precursor (Fc@CB[7]) was constructed, providing a well‐defined molecular scaffold for oxygen electrocatalysts.

However, the degree of temperature change at the regional and local levels is uncertain. The uncertainty arises from various factors, but mostly due to the short length of ground data and dependency of local studies on the large-scale and spatially coarse output of Global Climate Models (GCMs). Therefore, the output of GCM cannot be directly used in impact assessment studies at a regional and local level. In this study, the Statistical Down-Scaling Model (SDSM) is employed to investigate the magnitude of temperature changes (Minimum and Maximum Temperature) for the future period 2026–2100. The SDSM builds relationships between large-scale predictors and local climate variables, allowing for finer-resolution projections at a regional level. The study utilized the Climate Hazard Infra-Red Temperature with Station (CHIRTS-daily) to complete daily missing records in more than 90 ground stations. Additionally, predictors of the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) for the historical period (1961–2010) and the Canadian Earth System Model (CanESM2) for the future period (2026–2100) are employed to calibrate SDSM and to build finer-resolution scenarios under two representative concentration pathways; RCP2.6 and RCP8.5. The methodology additionally involved validating the SDSM performance using observed historical data before applying it to future projections. The findings indicate that both minimum and maximum temperatures (T-min and T-max) will increase, with a more pronounced rise in minimum temperature (T-min). Over the future period (2026–2100), the projected average temperature rise is 1.10 °C (T-max) and 1.43 °C (T-min) under RCP2.6. For RCP8.5, the projected average increases are 1.56 °C and 2.3 °C for T-max and T-min, respectively. Overall, the most significant increase is projected to occur in the 2090s (2076–2100) under RCP8.5, particularly in the lowlands and wadis of Al Mahwit and Raymah governorate. In these areas, the minimum temperature (T-min) exhibited an increased absolute value of up to 3.2 °C. This high rise in temperatures is expected to result in increased evapotranspiration, prolonged droughts, and possibly breakouts of some plant diseases and pests. This would require effective adaptation measures such as harvesting rainwater and growing short-time and heat-resistance crops. Engaging in field visits and social discussions added depth to the study by introducing various traditional methods and indigenous practices. Valuable resources for future efforts to mitigate the potential impacts of climate change are offered by these insights. • High-resolution temperature change scenarios for Yemen's highlands were developed. • SDSM effectively downscales large-scale atmospheric data to local temperature projections. • CMIP6 models show improved scenario accuracy over CMIP5 for future climate projections. • Regional and local studies are vital for effective environmental planning. • Mitigating future climate change impacts requires essential local adaptation measures.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.indic.2024.100490","authors":["Ali H.

Despite its potent greenhouse gas (GHG) nature, CH4 remains a crucial energy resource. However, advancements in CH4 capture, utilization, and emissions mitigation are rapidly evolving, necessitating a critical assessment of the advances, their potential, and challenges. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the current state of the art in these advancements, particularly focusing on the emissions trends, with corresponding global warming potentials of projected CH4 emissions, and a discussion on the advances that have been made towards reducing the impacts of CH4 emissions. The areas of these advances include measurement, computational, numerical modeling, and simulation studies for CH4, emerging technologies for CH4 production, management and control, the nexus of CH4 –X, and case study applications in countries. This study reports on these advances, which involves a technical review of studies, mainly from the last decade, discussing the technical feasibility, economic viability, and environmental impact of these advancements. Our trend analysis reveals that even though the share of CH4 in the GHG mix has been around 19% compared with carbon dioxide (CO2), still, CH4 reduction would need to be highly subsidized because of the high global warming potential it has, compared with CO2. We conclude that while significant progress has been made, further research and development are essential to optimize the performance, scalability, and affordability of these advancements.

Often presented as a question of human rights, climate justice debates are often focused on the distributional effects of climate change – pointing out that those effects disproportionately burden the poorest and least disadvantaged. Much discussion in the climate justice field has examined the global maldistribution of climate change impacts, particularly between developing and developed nations. Linked with the understanding that developed nations are the biggest producers of the emissions that induce climate change, the ways that privileged nations and groups redistribute the effects of the harms they produce to burden the poor somewhere else, becomes clear. In this Interface, we bring together scholars, educators, practitioners and activists to consider climate justice from a range of perspectives that extend and deepen these more established lines of thinking. The papers examine questions for planning that are perhaps less obvious or explicitly discussed in climate justice debates. The intention here is that these issues might become more prominent in our thinking and practice. Hence, the contributions interrogate issues such as planning education, the norms of the profession, the research that underpins knowledge about climate change, and the sharing of that knowledge as justice questions in and of themselves. The papers also focus on the principal dimensions of planning response and activity in relation to climate change, especially in key sectors such as housing, and also adaptation planning.

We previously demonstrated that Rpm2p localizes to the nucleus and acts as a transcriptional activator. Rpm2p influences the level of mRNAs that encode components of the mitochondrial import apparatus and essential mitochondrial chaperones. Evidence is presented here that Rpm2p interacts with Dcp2p, a subunit of mRNA decapping enzyme in the two-hybrid assay, and is enriched in cytoplasmic P bodies, the sites of mRNA degradation and storage in yeast and mammalian cells. When overexpressed, GFP-Rpm2p does not impact the number and size of P bodies; however, it prevents their disappearance when translation elongation is inhibited by cycloheximide. Proteasome mutants, ump1-2 and pre4-2, that bypass essential Rpm2p function, also stabilize P bodies. The stabilization of P bodies by Rpm2p may occur through reduced protein degradation since GFP-Rpm2p expressing cells have lower levels of ubiquitin. Genetic analysis revealed that overexpression of Dhh1p (a DEAD box helicase localized to P bodies) suppresses temperature-sensitive growth of the rpm2-100 mutant. Overexpression of Pab1p (a poly (A)-binding protein) also suppresses rpm2-100, suggesting that Rpm2p functions in at least two aspects of mRNA metabolism.

However, an associated feedback exists because any sustained increases in plant productivity will depend upon the continued availability of soil N. We took soils from under the canopies of major shrubs, grasses, and plant interspaces in a Mojave Desert ecosystem exposed to elevated atmospheric CO2 and incubated them in the laboratory with amendments of labile C and N to determine if elevated CO2 altered the mechanistic controls of soil C and N on microbial N cycling. Net ammonification increased under shrubs exposed to elevated CO2, while net nitrification decreased. Elevated CO2 treatments exhibited greater fluxes of N2O–N under Lycium spp., but not other microsites. The proportion of microbial/extractable organic N increased under shrubs exposed to elevated CO2. Heterotrophic N2‐fixation and C mineralization increased with C addition, while denitrification enzyme activity and N2O–N fluxes increased when C and N were added in combination. Laboratory results demonstrated the potential for elevated CO2 to affect soil N cycling under shrubs and supports the hypothesis that energy limited microbes may increase net inorganic N cycling rates as the amount of soil‐available C increases under elevated CO2. The effect of CO2 enrichment on N‐cycling processes is mediated by its effect on the plants, particularly shrubs. The potential for elevated atmospheric CO2 to lead to accumulation of NH4+ under shrubs and the subsequent volatilization of NH3 may result in greater losses of N from this system, leading to changes in the form and amount of plant‐available inorganic N. This introduces the potential for a negative feedback mechanism that could act to constrain the degree to which plants can increase productivity in the face of elevated atmospheric CO2.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2486.2007.01324.x","authors":["Sean M.

Hydrogen has emerged as a potent solution because of its zero-emission usage, but its overall impact hinges on its full life cycle , which this review comprehensively examines. This article delves into the environmental, economic, and safety dimensions of hydrogen as an alternative fuel by systematically reviewing the life cycle assessment (LCA) literature across the production, storage, delivery, and usage phases, with a focus on electrolysis and natural gas reforming methods, among others. A key insight from this study is the critical importance of considering the entire delivery system holistically rather than isolating the delivery phase. Many studies have overlooked two important aspects: first, the distribution of hydrogen as a product itself is often underemphasized; second, the integration of storage and delivery (the “storage-delivery nexus”) is crucial since separating them can lead to misleading conclusions about cost and emissions. For example, while certain delivery methods may appear cost-effective, their associated storage processes (such as hydrogenation and dehydrogenation in liquid organic hydrogen carrier systems) can have significant emission impacts. To address these gaps, this study introduces a novel “surface-level” LCA framework to enhance the assessment of the environmental impacts of hydrogen, promoting a more integrated understanding of the storage-delivery system. This framework aims to provide more accurate insights into hydrogen's life cycle, thereby facilitating better-informed policy-making and technological advancements. This study underscores the imperative for robust policy support, public engagement, and continuous innovation to overcome these barriers, advocating for strategic initiatives that bolster the sustainability and adoption of hydrogen mobility, particularly in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.commtr.2025.100180","authors":["Fangjie Liu","Muhammad Shafique","Xiaowei Luo"],"tags":["Hydrogen","Political science","Sociology","Chemistry","Organic chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.commtr.2025.100180","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W901853669","name":"Who Pays for Carbon Costs?

In the proposed system, concentrated solar parabolic trough technology is used to drive a multi-stage flash (MSF) desalination unit for production of fresh water. To recover the waste heat carried by the produced clean water, an organic Rankine cycle is integrated to produce electricity. In addition, to recover the waste heat carried by brine, an absorption cooling system is employed to provide cooling. In order to mitigate the effects of high-salinity brine, a pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) unit is installed, which reduces the salinity of the discharge and produces additional electrical energy.

This review examines vehicle lightweighting from a decarbonization and life-cycle perspective, moving beyond traditional mass-reduction thinking toward integrated “lightweight decarbonization process systems”. First, the physical mechanisms by which mass reduction lowers tractive energy demand are analyzed for conventional and electrified powertrains, together with the secondary effects of powertrain downsizing and reduced parasitic losses. The role of life-cycle assessment (LCA) in quantifying trade-offs between higher embodied emissions of lightweight materials and use-phase energy savings is then discussed, including the influence of vehicle duty cycles, energy mixes and recycling rates. The review summarizes major technology routes for lightweighting body-in-white, chassis, powertrain and new energy vehicle subsystems, and highlights high-value opportunities in exhaust aftertreatment and thermal management systems. Key enabling processes—including low-carbon material preparation, advanced forming and casting, multi-material joining, surface engineering and digital design—are analyzed as the foundation of lightweighting-oriented decarbonization. Representative engineering applications and industrial case patterns are used to illustrate typical magnitudes of mass and CO₂ reduction and to extract lessons for integrating lightweight design with recycled and low-carbon materials. Finally, the paper identifies critical scientific questions, process and manufacturing bottlenecks, and cross-scale digitalization needs, and outlines promising directions for future “key technologies and applications” in vehicle lightweight decarbonization, with a particular focus on life-cycle CO₂ performance and real-world demonstrator platforms.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44438-026-00023-5","authors":["Yi Wang","Qiang Ma","Tingyu Wang","Bo Zhang","Dongtao Wang","Xianglong Zhang","長海 博文","Bowen Yang","Xu Ren","Jin Huang","Yingjie Zhang","Xiaoping Chen","Wenpeng Xiong","Bo Wang","Yuan Li","Xincong Liu"],"tags":["Powertrain","Process (computing)","Key (lock)","Automotive engineering","Automotive industry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44438-026-00023-5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410001136","name":"The Impact of Data Element Marketization on Green Total Factor Energy Efficiency: Empirical Evidence from China","source":"openalex","abstract":"Given the escalating severity of climate change and environmental degradation, the transition to green and low-carbon energy has become a strategic priority for China’s economic development.

Mechanism analysis demonstrated that DEM enhances urban GTFEE by accelerating the generation of data elements and fostering their deep integration with artificial intelligence (AI).

However, the most common technologies for generating these products are large-scale emitters of CO 2 and at the present time must still rely on fossil fuel feedstocks. The deployment of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies will be critical in reaching both Canadian and international net-zero emissions targets by 2050. More traditional approaches for CO 2 capture, such as solvent-based scrubbing, can be implemented to reduce emissions but often fall short of attaining carbon-neutral products. Pressurized chemical looping–steam methane reforming (PCL-SMR) has the potential to produce zero-emission H 2 for combustion systems at an attractive cost, thereby avoiding the need for postcombustion CO 2 capture which can be cost prohibitive at certain scales. This is achieved by replacing the existing SMR firebox with dual-reactor chemical looping with inherent CO 2 separation. This work considers a comparison between conventional SMR with and without postcombustion CO 2 capture to that of PCL-SMR at an industrial-scale H 2 production level (∼290 t/day). In all configurations, the syngas is cooled, the H 2 product is separated via pressure swing adsorption before compression, and the tail gas is recycled into the combustion system. The captured CO 2 is processed via a cooling, drying, and compression system to meet the supercritical CO 2 transportation specifications. By operating at elevated pressures (∼6 bar(g)), zero direct CO 2 emissions are achievable without the need for costly gaseous O 2 production, while increasing the net H 2 production efficiency and lowering fresh-water consumption. A detailed comparative techno-economic analysis and life-cycle assessment show a significantly lower levelized cost of H 2 production via PCL-SMR in comparison to SMR with amine-based CO 2 capture, while achieving both greater direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scopes 2 and 3) CO 2 emission reductions. In addition, several other key benefits of PCL-SMR beyond costs and environmental burdens are highlighted, such as a significant reduction in reformer tube stress and H 2 production efficiency.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.5c00826","authors":["Robert T.

A challenge hindering the intensified use of forest residues for energy production is the high cost of their supply chain. Previous studies on optimal design of forest residue supply chains focused on biofuel or bioenergy production separately, mostly with a single time period approach. We present a multi-period mixed integer linear programming model that optimizes the supply chain of forest residues for the production of bioenergy and biofuels simultaneously. The model determines (i) the location, type and size of the technologies to install and the period to install them, (ii) the mix of biofuel and bioenergy products to generate, (iii) the type and amount of forest residues to acquire and the sourcing points, (iv) the amount of forest residues to transport from sources to facilities and (v) the amount of product to transport from facilities to markets. The objective of the model is to maximize the net present value of the supply chain over a 20-year planning horizon with yearly time steps. We applied the model to a case study in British Columbia, Canada, to investigate the production of heat, electricity, pellets and pyrolysis bio-oil from available forest harvesting residues and sawmill wastes. Based on current energy generation costs in the region and the predicted operating costs of new conversion plants, the results of our model recommended the installation of small biomass boilers coupled with steam turbines for electricity production (0.5 and 5 MW) and pyrolysis plants with a capacity of 200 and 400 odmt day−1.

The paper examines how photo-redox flow batteries can support a sustainable energy transition in Morocco and Poland by simultaneously harvesting and storing solar energy, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating the intermittency of renewables. Methodology. The study combines a review of national energy policies and renewable energy targets with a comparative techno-economic assessment of photo-redox flow battery deployment scenarios in both countries, focusing on system performance, grid integration, and long-term sustainability indicators. Results. The findings show that photo-redox flow batteries can significantly increase the share of solar energy in national power mixes, improve grid stability, and lower lifecycle emissions compared to conventional storage and fossil-based generation, with particularly strong gains under high-renewables scenarios for Morocco and coal-replacement pathways for Poland.

However, the high cost of raw materials has spurred interest in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) as a cost-effective alternative. Despite this, SIBs suffer from lower energy density and poorer cyclability, leaving them in a developmental stage. The formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is critical for battery performance as it stabilizes the electrode and prevents further solvent degradation during cycling. This study investigated the SEI formation mechanism in sodium-based EC/DEC electrolyte by monitoring the evolution of volatile products and comparing them with those in lithium-based electrolytes under Ar and O 2 atmospheres using online electrochemical mass spectrometry and vibrational spectroscopy. It was demonstrated that the SEI forms via similar reaction pathways in both sodium- and lithium-based electrolytes. However, Na + lead to more significant ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) evolution during this process. Upon introducing O 2 into the operating environment, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and water were produced during the initial cycle. At the same time, the amount of C 2 H 4 evolved was significantly lower than under Ar. The results indicate that in the presence of O 2, the superoxide (O 2 – ) generated during the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) alters the decomposition of EC molecules into two pathways. Because O 2 – is more stable in sodium-based electrolytes, a larger fraction of O 2 – participates in the decomposition of EC. This alters the electrochemical reduction reaction (ERR) pathway of C 2 H 4 generated from EC decomposition to an ORR pathway that yields CO 2 . We also found that specific additives, such as vinylene carbonate (VC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), can improve SEI stability in SIBs by inhibiting solvent decomposition and promoting the formation of a denser, stronger SEI. These findings provide valuable insights into the development of stable SEI, particularly for advancing the performance of SIBs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsaem.5c03054","authors":["P Zhang","Seiya Nakahata","Baoxu Peng","Bingbing Li","Dongyu Zhang","Ken‐ichi Inoue","L.

Using integrated regression analysis, electricity demand is projected to increase from 850 TWh in 2023 to 1580 TWh by 2060. A coupled LEAP‐NEMO modeling framework assesses the impacts of key policies including carbon pricing, renewable energy expansion, and energy storage deployment. Five scenarios are evaluated: Baseline (BAS), Renewable Energy Promotion (REP), High Carbon Price (HCP), Advanced Storage Technology Breakthrough (ASP), and Comprehensive Policy Mix (COM). Results show that single policies reduce emissions but are insufficient for carbon neutrality. The ASP and COM scenarios, combining multiple technologies and policies, achieve substantial decarbonization. Under the COM scenario, carbon emissions decline by 93% relative to the baseline, reaching 47.6 Mt by 2060, with renewables accounting for 88% of generation and coal power phased out under strict carbon pricing. Economic analysis reveals that despite higher initial investments, the COM scenario lowers long‐term operational costs by approximately 12% compared to the baseline, demonstrating the economic benefits of policy synergy. Based on Guangdong's energy profile and policy outcomes, key recommendations include developing differentiated carbon market mechanisms to align carbon and electricity prices, enhancing cross‐regional energy coordination within the Guangdong‐Hong Kong‐Macao Greater Bay Area, and optimizing energy storage deployment to support high renewable integration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ese3.70470","authors":["Caixia Yang","Yao Xiao","Tao Chen","Erqun Zhao","Mingze Lei","Supannika Wattana","Buncha Wattana"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Environmental economics","Carbon neutrality","Energy transition","Natural resource economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ese3.70470","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391339687","name":"4D Multimaterial Printing of Soft Actuators with Spatial and Temporal Control","source":"openalex","abstract":"Soft actuators (SAs) are devices which can interact with delicate objects in a manner not achievable with traditional robotics.

Using 3D printing, a multilayered soft actuator with a hydrophilic pH-sensitive layer, and a hydrophobic magnetic and temperature-responsive shape-memory polymer layer, is designed. The hydrogel responds to environmental pH conditions by swelling or shrinking, while the shape-memory polymer can resist the shape deformation of the hydrogel until triggered by temperature or light. The combination of these stimuli-responsive layers allows for a high level of spatiotemporal control of the actuation. The utility of the 4D MMSA is demonstrated via a series of cargo capture and release experiments, validating its ability to demonstrate active spatiotemporal control.

Four micro public spaces of comparable size but differing locational and functional characteristics, completed in Wuhan in 2023, were selected as case studies. Plant carbon sequestration was estimated using the biomass expansion factor method combined with field-based forestry surveys, while indirect emission reduction associated with residents’ outdoor activities was assessed through spatiotemporal observations of user behavior. These results were further translated into carbon value based on China’s carbon trading standards to support comparative analysis and design-oriented recommendations. The results indicate that direct sequestration significantly outweighs indirect reduction: the carbon storage density of trees ranges from 0.40 to 1.97 kg/m2, with the total storage of HRP reaching 11,587.36 kg; in contrast, annual indirect reduction from resident activities is only 1.34–141.19 kg. Carbon sequestration performance is strongly influenced by the presence of large trees, while micro public spaces located in newly developed and commercial areas exhibit substantially lower emission reduction efficiency than those in older and densely populated residential neighborhoods.

Here, we describe a reflux synthesis method of constructing a porous catalyst by introducing turmeric yellow into extremely porous bio‐carbon (PC) materials that contain iron nanoparticles (Fe NPs); these catalysts are known as Fe NPs@PC. These catalysts have become a significant substitute for high‐performance cathodes in ZABs because their electrochemical properties can improve ORR performance. In addition to enhancing conductivity, the OER/ORR bifunctional active sites must be balanced by optimizing the FeC and FeFe interactions within the active site. X‐ray absorption analysis and density functional theory confirmed that strong iron‐carbon interactions promote OER ( η 10 = 320 mV) and ORR ( E 1/2 = 0.786 V) activity and exhibit a smaller potential gap of 0.764 V of Fe NPs@PC‐700 catalyst. The impact of this redox activity enhances the high‐power density (219 mW cm −2 ) and long‐term charge–discharge cycle stability (85 h@3 mA cm −2 ) of ZABs.

Global numerical experiments were conducted to investigate irrigation effects and their sensitivity to irrigation water sources and irrigation methods. All simulations shared the same irrigation soil moisture target constrained by a global census data set of irrigation amounts. Irrigation has large impacts on terrestrial water balances especially in regions with extensive irrigation. Such effects depend on the irrigation water source: surface water‐fed irrigation decreases runoff and water table depth, while groundwater‐fed irrigation increases water table depth, and increases or decreases runoff depending on the pumping intensity. Irrigation effects also depend significantly on the irrigation method. Flood irrigation applies water in large volumes within short durations, resulting in much larger impacts on runoff and water table depth than drip and sprinkler irrigation. Differentiating the irrigation water source and method is important not only for representing the distinct pathways of how irrigation influences the terrestrial water balances, but also for estimating irrigation water use efficiency. Specifically, groundwater pumping has lower irrigation water use efficiency than irrigation relying on surface water withdrawal only due to enhanced recharge rates. Different irrigation methods also affect water use efficiency, with drip irrigation being the most efficient followed by sprinkler and flood irrigation. Our results highlight the importance of explicitly accounting for irrigation source and irrigation method, which are the least understood and constrained aspects in modeling irrigation water demand, water scarcity, and irrigation effects in Earth System Models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2016ms000885","authors":["Guoyong Leng","L.

Rapid changes in technology costs and performance could drive further deployment of wind and solar capacity beyond these policy targets. Increased deployment of variable renewable energy (VRE) raises new questions for power system planning regarding the optimal siting of generation capacity, trade-offs between generation and transmission infrastructure, and system flexibility needs. This study aims to evaluate least-cost pathways for India's electric power system over the period 2017-2047. Uniquely, this work considers an expanded planning horizon and range of scenarios not previously analyzed in national planning studies in India. The data collection and model design processes undertaken for this study provides a framework for recurring planning studies. This study finds anticipated changes in electricity demand and component costs can drive a significant shift in India's future electricity supply and how this system will be operated. In the Base scenario, the share of generation from VRE reaches 54% by 2047. Reducing the capital cost of wind has a larger impact on VRE penetration than reducing the capital cost of solar PV or battery storage. In the lowest wind cost scenario (40% capital cost decline by 2047 relative to the Base scenario), the penetration of VRE in the generation mix reaches 722%, exceeding the penetration levels achieved when the cost of battery storage or solar PV are reduced by an even greater 50%. In a future system with high penetrations of RE, capacity additions are driven by the coincidence of demand and RE generation rather than peak demand alone. This study finds the system could have surplus capacity during the peak demand months of July–September because this period corresponds to periods with high wind speeds and more wind generation available to meet peak demand. By contrast, new capacity is needed to meet demand during moderate demand months of October–November when output from wind plants falls more than 75% nationally compared to the previous two months. Finally, the success for gas for electricity production may depend on cost competitiveness rather than fuel availability. Increasing the amount of gas available for electricity production had no significant impact on the capacity or generation mix by 2047, as determined from a scenario that significantly increases fuel availability throughout the planning horizon. In fact, over 80% of new gas fuel available for the power sector remains unused. This suggests the high cost of gas plant operations relative to other technologies may constrain the expansion of gas generation in India more than fuel availability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/1659816","authors":["Amy Rose","Ilya Chernyakhovskiy","Joseph D.

The model simulates the hydrologic, nitrogen, carbon, dissolved oxygen (DO), bacteria, vegetative, phosphorous, and sediment cycles of a wetland system. Written in Fortran 77, the WETLAND models both free‐water surface (FWS) and subsurface flow (SSF) wetlands, and is designed in a modular manner that gives the user the flexibility to decide which cycles and processes to model. WETLAND differs from many existing wetland models in that the interactions between the different nutrient cycles are modeled, minimizing the number of assumptions concerning wetland processes. It also directly links microbial growth and death to the consumption and transformations of nutrients in the wetland system. The WETLAND model is intended to be utilized with an existing NPS hydro‐logic simulation model, such as ANSWERS or BASINS, but also may be used in situations where measured input data to the wetland are available. The model was calibrated and validated using limited data from a FWS wetland located at Benton, Kentucky. The WETLAND predictions were not statistically different from measured values for of five‐day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), suspended sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorous. Effluent DO predictions were not always consistent with measured concentrations. A sensitivity analysis indicated the most significant input parameters to the model were those that directly affected bacterial growth and DO uptake and movement. The model was used to design a hypothetical constructed wetland in a subwatershed of the Nomini Creek watershed, located in Virginia. Two‐year simulations were completed for five separate wetland designs. Predicted percent reductions in BOD5 (4 to 45 percent), total suspended solids (85 to 100 percent), total nitrogen (42 to 56 percent), and total phosphorous (38 to 57 percent) were similar to levels reported by previous research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1752-1688.2002.tb01531.x","authors":["Erik R.

This millennial-scale reconstruction captures long-term, non-linear trajectories and biome-dependent patterns over the Holocene. Our findings indicate that temperature was the dominant factor shaping the global spatial and temporal patterns of the carbon accumulation rate (CAR).

Globally, CAR declines from the early Holocene to the present (Anthropocene) and is projected to decrease further by 11% under the SSP126 scenario and by 18% under the SSP585 scenario. High-latitude permafrost and wetland soils show the highest historical CAR but also the largest projected declines, whereas tropical soils exhibit a positive CAR–temperature relationship, which may reflect warming-associated increases in plant and root carbon inputs over long timescales.

Based on the adverse effects of flared gas, the Nigerian government has renewed and improved its efforts to reduce or eliminate gas flaring through the application of natural gas utilisation techniques. However, because the conventional approach to flare gas utilisation is heavily reliant on achieving scale, fuel, and end-product prices, not all technologies are technically and economically viable for typically capturing large and small quantities of associated gas from various flare sites or gas fields (located offshore or onshore). For these reasons, this paper reviews and compares various flare gas utilisation options to guide their proper selection for appropriate implementation in the eradication of routine gas flaring in Nigeria and to promote the Zero Routine Flaring initiative, which aims to reduce flaring levels dramatically by 2030. A qualitative assessment is used in this study to contrast the various flare gas utilisation options against key decision drivers. In this analysis, three natural gas utilisation processes—liquefied natural gas (LNG), gas to wire (GTW), and gas to methanol (GTM)—are recommended as options for Nigeria because of their economic significance, technological viability (both onshore and offshore), and environmental benefits. All these gas utilisation options have the potential to significantly reduce and prevent routine gas flaring in Nigeria and can be used separately or in combination to create synergies that could lower project costs and product market risk. This article clearly identifies the environmental benefits and the technical and economic viability of infrastructure investments to recover and repurpose flare gasses along with recommendation steps to select and optimise economies of scale for an associated natural gas utilisation option.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/gases3010001","authors":["Robin Abu","Kumar Patchigolla","N.J.

Both C 20 and cold cranking tests revealed a significant increase in the specific discharge capacity of LABs containing d‐CNT and graphite. Furthermore, LABs incorporating d‐CNT or graphite exhibited an enhanced cyclability over other samples during the 50% depth‐of‐discharge test, also demonstrating a greater capacity to accept a larger charge during initial recharge. WC analysis, conducted in accordance with EN 50 342‐1:2016−11 protocol, revealed reduced water loss, particularly in LABs with d‐CNT, due to the increased recombination rate of hydrogen and oxygen resulting from electrolyte water electrolysis.

Severe plastic deformation processes, particularly high-pressure torsion (HPT), have emerged as a powerful approach capable of addressing these challenges through extreme grain refinement, defect engineering, phase stabilization far from equilibrium, and synthesis of novel materials. This article reviews the impact of HPT on hydrogen-related materials, covering hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, and hydrogen embrittlement resistance. For hydrogen production, HPT enables the synthesis of nanostructured, defect-rich, and compositionally complex compounds, including high-entropy oxides and oxynitrides, which exhibit enhanced hydrolytic, electrocatalytic, photocatalytic, photoelectrocatalytic, and photoreforming performance. For hydrogen storage, HPT fundamentally modifies hydrogenation activation and kinetics, and modifies thermodynamics by hydrogen binding energy engineering, enabling reversible hydrogen storage at room temperature in systems such as Mg-based and high-entropy alloys. For hydrogen embrittlement resistance, HPT under optimized conditions suppresses hydrogen-assisted fracture by engineering ultrafine grains and defects (vacancies, dislocations, Lomer–Cottrell locks, D-Frank partial dislocations, stacking faults, twins, and grain boundaries) that control hydrogen diffusion, trapping, and strain localization. By integrating insights across these three domains, this article highlights HPT as a transformative strategy for developing next-generation hydrogen materials and identifies key opportunities for future research at the intersection of severe plastic deformation and hydrogen technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/hydrogen7010023","authors":["Kaveh Edalati"],"tags":["Hydrogen embrittlement","Hydrogen","Materials science","Hydrogen storage","Severe plastic deformation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/hydrogen7010023","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jclepro.2026.148596","name":"Designing an optimised carbon capture and utilization network for sustainable e-methane production","source":"openalex","abstract":"• Carbon Capture and Utilization converts green H2 and industrial CO2 to e-fuels. • CO2 capture and H2 production rates were optimised in a novel e-methane network. • Optimisation combines breakeven costs with life cycle environmental impacts. • Optimising both costs and environmental impacts increases e-fuel costs by only 2%.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2026.148596","authors":["Gustavo P.

Simulations of the separation of CO 2 -N 2 and CO 2 -CH 4 mixtures using water as a solvent at 5 °C and 20 °C were carried out, demonstrating the suitability of the process for treating combustion gases and purifying biogas. For CO 2 -N 2 mixtures at 20 °C, with CO 2 inlet mole fractions between 0.09 and 0.35, the energy requirement of the new process, related to vacuum pumping, is between 0.29 and 0.98 GJ per ton of CO 2 captured. This is significantly lower than the reference technology for treating atmospheric flue gases, namely chemical absorption, which requires between 3.0 and 5.5 GJ per ton of CO 2 captured. Refrigeration at 5 °C further reduces energy demand by up to 27%. Considering the geometry of the commercial Liqui-Cel TM EXF hollow fiber membrane modules, the volumetric footprint of the equipment is similar to that used for chemical absorption. The specific energy demand of the process for biogas treatment is between 0.044 and 0.052 kWh per Nm 3 of raw biogas. This value is approximately four times lower than the energy demand of current biogas upgrading technologies, which is between 0.2 and 0.3 kWh per Nm³ of raw gas.

Optimization is focused on four key design variables: the CO 2 discharge pressure at the hub terminal, the inner diameters of the pipeline and injection tubing, and the injection temperature, with storage capacity, injection safety, and economic feasibility as the performance objectives. Dynamic nodal analysis couples surface and subsurface flow physics—specifically, compressible pipe flow dynamics for surface transport and Darcy-based porous media flow for subsurface storage—to simulate transient system behavior. A multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm linked to a full-physics facility-reservoir model was used to derive an initial Pareto-optimal front covering approximately 3.8% of the feasible design space. This was refined and expanded by using machine-learning-based proxies, including neural network, random forest, and boosting techniques trained on the optimization results. The framework was applied to a potential CCS assessment project in the Republic of Korea, an onshore CO 2 terminal, a 175-km subsea pipeline, and a 1-km vertical injection well.

To elucidate the fluidization and reaction characteristics of CaO/CaCO 3 in bubbling fluidized beds, this study employs polydisperse calcium-based particles as the research subject. Numerical simulations incorporating chemical reactions are conducted to investigate particle fluidization behaviour under varying gas velocities, inlet CO 2 volume fractions, and dynamic operating conditions from a parameterisation perspective. By comparing different particle size combinations, characteristic parameters such as bed solid content distribution, time-averaged CO 2 concentration, time-averaged axial solid content, and time-averaged velocity were analysed. Results indicate that at constant gas velocity, the bed’s CO 2 adsorption efficiency gradually decreases as particle size increases from 75 μm to 136 μm. In the mixed-particle-size system, at the same gas velocity, the CaCO 3 solid content in the single-particle-size bed was slightly lower than that in the mixed-particle-size bed, while the CaO solid content was higher than that in the mixed-particle-size bed. Under different inlet CO 2 concentration conditions, higher CO 2 concentrations led to decreases in the bed's time-averaged velocity and time-averaged axial solid content.

This review examines the current state of CCCU technologies, highlighting innovative materials including solvents, solid sorbents, and membranes, as well as main CO 2 capture methodologies like pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion. Emerging conversion technologies include photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and biochemical pathways, with an emphasis on the synthesis of methanol, dimethyl carbonate (DMC), dimethyl ether (DME), urea, and formic acid. The role of nanomaterials and bio-inspired systems in enhancing conversion efficiency is also explored. Industrial case studies and life-cycle assessments demonstrate the economic and environmental viability of CCCU, particularly when paired with renewable energy sources such as green hydrogen. Despite promising progress, CCCU still faces technical, economic, and infrastructural challenges related to energy consumption, scalability, and policy support. Looking to the future, research should focus on creating hybrid systems that can combine capture and conversion in a single process, developing more advanced catalysts, designing flexible modular reactors, and improving efficiency using machine learning. CCCU can be unlocked to its full potential by integrating it into circular economy frameworks and industrial symbiosis models. CCCU promotes decarbonization by transforming CO 2 waste into a valuable resource. This aligns economic growth with environmental responsibility and fosters sustainable development.

These organisms have properties that enable alternative thinking to the canonical processes of biological carbon cycling and sequestration: they can be microscopic, unicellular, vegetative, transformable, capable of taking up and converting CO 2 and producing long-term carbon compounds. Algae are the primary producers of a variety of precursor and end-point compounds that can be classified as long-term and useful for permanent carbon capture, including inorganic carbonates and organic molecules such as dinosporin, RDOM, and algaenan, with algaenan perhaps being the foremost among these for CDR purposes. In this review, we explore algal-derived long-term carbon compounds with potential for CDR purposes. Considered to be a major contributor to type I kerogen via the process of selective preservation, algaenan is a complex polymer found in the cell walls of a limited number of algal species that has biosynthetic similarities to that of cutin and suberin in some higher plants. Studies concerning the structure and characterisation of algaenan and potential precursor compounds, including hydroxy fatty acids, long-chain alkenols, and long-chain alkyl diols, have had challenges related to the complexity of the chemistry involved, historical methodological inconsistencies, and misleading findings due to the generation of methodological artefacts, yet their algal origin is undeniable. Indeed, the intentional production and use of algaenan for CDR shows promise when compared with equivalent plant production processes and, if combined with the production of other agro-industrial products and/or environmental management processes, would provide even greater value for society.

A surrogate of the mechanistic process model evaluated annual operation in 338 provinces under 170 electricity-and-heat configurations, followed by representative sequential multi-objective optimization.

Given their limited yet agile capacity to respond to societal change, I focus on SMPs to explore how their transition unfolds in transformational contexts specifically influenced by low-carbon megaproject development. Megaprojects are large-scale, politicized, regulated initiatives that are conceptualized here as mission-oriented development programs comprising interrelated, coordinated initiatives governed by mission-oriented policies. Empirically, the study examines how Norway's carbon capture and storage (CCS) megaproject shapes SMPs' transition to energy hubs through qualitative data from semi-structured interviews and document review. Findings show that megaprojects entangle multiple systems and build multisystem interfaces across levels, catalyzing interrelated transitions through material, agentic, and institutional interactions. By creating protective spaces for specific technologies, megaprojects shape transition pathways at interfaces, gradually aligned them with regime-level transformation while increasing the risk of path-dependency given megaproject's strong regime interlinkages. This is particularly consequential for SMPs. Despite their limited capacity, strong alignment with megaproject can enable transition despite limited capacities while weak alignment risks stalling it. Yet SMP transitions remain nuanced, shaped by place-specific characteristics and local interlinkages. For policymakers, this highlights a critical tension: while megaprojects accelerate transition, they also heighten lock-in risks, necessitating long-term commitment to diversification and coordinated regulatory and incentive adjustments across interlinked low-carbon technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2026.104698","authors":["Negar Safara Nosar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-08T10:10:42Z","doi":"10.1016/j.erss.2026.104698","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1504/ijex.2026.10078597","name":"A Thermodynamic Evaluation of Carbon Capture and Storage with Exergy Aspects: A Critical Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"As part of the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals to attain low-carbon society, studies on ways of offsetting carbon are still imperative.

Isotherm models, thermodynamic adsorption parameters, and implications for CO2 sorbent design and regeneration efficiency were presented.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1504/ijex.2026.10078597","authors":["Lekan Popoola","Festus Adeniyi Adeyemo","Lukumon Salami","Sunday Adekunle Adebanjo","Usman Taura","Yuli Panca Asmara","Kabir Adeola Aminu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-21T13:00:08Z","doi":"10.1504/ijex.2026.10078597","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.engappai.2026.114417","name":"Decarbonization responsive scheduling interactions in cogeneration units based sustainable city energy ecosystem considering carbon capture and thermal storage device with digital social welfare","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engappai.2026.114417","authors":["Jingxuan Dong","Ying Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-30T08:12:59Z","doi":"10.1016/j.engappai.2026.114417","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100621","name":"Assessing CO2 capture and storage for the decarbonization of a Bulgarian cement plant from an environmental and economic perspective","source":"crossref","abstract":"In line with the European Green Deal target of net-zero emissions by 2050, recent European Union policies are intensifying decarbonization pressures on energy-intensive industries. In the cement sector, the gradual phase-out of free emission allowances under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism will require full carbon cost coverage by 2034, with carbon prices projected to rise to 130-160 €/t CO2 by 2030. Given that cement production accounts for 5-8% of global industrial CO₂ emissions, carbon capture and geological storage (CCS) represents a key mitigation pathway. This study assesses a complete CCS value chain for a real cement plant in Bulgaria through integrated process modelling, life cycle assessment (LCA), and techno-economic analysis (TEA). CO 2 capture is based on the Chilled Ammonia Process and includes liquefaction, pipeline transport, and geological injection, achieving an 87% capture efficiency (72.49 t CO2 /h). A detailed life cycle inventory from the plant gate to permanent storage was developed using Aspen Plus simulations and industrial data. Results show that CCS can reduce the cement’s plant carbon footprint from 1149 to 627 kg CO2-eq per ton of CO₂ stored, including residual uncaptured emissions. Capture and liquefaction dominate environmental impacts, while transport and injection contribute marginally. Further reductions to 393 and 282 kg CO2-eq per ton stored are achieved by capturing steam-related emissions and by using low-carbon heat, respectively. The system requires a CAPEX of 65.8 M€ and an OPEX of 78.9 €/t CO2 , making conventional CCS economically viable after 2030, while low-carbon heat integration or policy-based crediting enables cost-effective deployment in the short term.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100621","authors":["José Luis Ares-Sainz","Ivaylo Bozhkov","Veronika Georgieva","Gumersindo Feijoo","María Teresa Moreira"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-14T14:38:32Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100621","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2026.103158","name":"Achieving carbon neutrality in China via carbon capture and storage with onshore-offshore geological storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2026.103158","authors":["Xin Wen","Zezheng Li","Yu Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-18T03:22:09Z","doi":"10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2026.103158","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-443-33663-8.00003-5","name":"CO2 capture and utilization in paper and pulp industry","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-443-33663-8.00003-5","authors":["Pratima Bajpai"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-31T23:06:32Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-443-33663-8.00003-5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.690Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/9783527850860.ch04","name":"Gasification","source":"crossref","abstract":"This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of gasification technologies and their role in modern energy and chemical production systems.

This study defines a base scenario (BS) with a typical Mexican sugarcane mill, Ingenio Motzorongo, producing sugar, molasses, anhydro ethanol as oxygenate agent of gasoline and including combined heat and power (CHP) from sugarcane bagasse combustion. Also, we propose an alternative scenario (AS) comprising the latter products and adding a carbon capture process. The research investigates the potential for achieving net-negative carbon emissions by capturing CO 2 from two sources: the highly pure stream from ethanol fermentation and the flue gas from the bagasse-fired CHP plant. The integrated model focuses on maximizing the use of CO 2 neutral bagasse and optimizing the energy balance. Techno-economic (TEA) and life cycle analysis (LCA) were conducted to assess system performance. The results indicate that the minimal total CCS cost is achieved using the internal steam generated from sugarcane bagasse. This scenario corresponds to a 22% CO 2 capture rate, with total and CCS costs of 86.8 and 73.9 US$/ton CO 2 , respectively. To achieve a higher CO 2 capture rate, external energy input (steam and/or power) is required. However, this necessity reduces the cost-competitiveness of the BECCS process, particularly if the external energy is sourced from conventional fossil fuels. Ultimately, the integration of the BECCS system significantly reduces the overall environmental impacts associated with the production of bioethanol, energy, and sugar; especially with key indicators such as Global Warming Potential (GWP100), human toxicit potential (HTP) y, and specific aquatic ecotoxicity potential (SAEP).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2026.126358","authors":["Pablo Díaz-Herrera","Myriam Adela Amezcua-Allieri","Elizabeth Vega","Elias Martinez-Hernandez","Jorge Aburto"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-26T23:33:48Z","doi":"10.1016/j.renene.2026.126358","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.691Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:21.691Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1134/s0040601525700818","name":"A New Concept of a Power Generating Facility with Integrated Carbon Dioxide Capture and Cryogenic Energy Storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract The article presents the concept of a combined cycle turbine unit based on the innovative thermodynamic cycle developed at the Joint Institute for High Temperatures of the Russian Academy of Sciences (JIHT RAS) with integrated carbon dioxide (СО2) capture and cryogenic energy storage. The developed cycle relates to the class of semi-closed cycles, but retains all advantages of open and closed cycles. Owing to a wide range in which the power unit electrical and thermal power outputs can be adjusted, units implemented on the basis of the JIHT RAS thermodynamic cycle can efficiently participate in covering the electric and thermal load curves. Owing to the use of working fluid initial components (fuel, oxidizer, and ballasting carbon dioxide and water) in liquid state, it becomes possible to do without compressor equipment and replace it with pumps, thereby reducing energy consumption for plant auxiliaries and decreasing the required capital outlays. Due to the use of oxygen fuel combustion, it becomes possible to implement integrated carbon dioxide capture and prevent its emission into the atmosphere almost completely. Owing to the fact that the heat releasing during steam condensation and the carbon dioxide generated during fuel combustion both return into the cycle, it becomes possible to achieve extremely high efficiency of using the fuel energy in the plant (95% or higher with the plant operating in the cogeneration mode). Owing to the availability of large volumes of cryogenic liquids (air separation products and liquefied natural gas), it becomes possible to implement, on their basis, integrated energy storage based on the phase transition energy. Since cryogenic liquids and equipment for obtaining them are integral components of the power unit process circuit, this makes it possible to compensate for the drawbacks inherent in the cryogenic energy storage method. As a result, a dual effect can be obtained in one unit: carbon dioxide capture and energy storage. The presented combined cycle turbine unit on the basis of the JIHT RAS cycle opens possibilities for retaining large-scale use of organic fuels with simultaneously solving the economy decarbonization problems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1134/s0040601525700818","authors":["A.

In fractured shale reservoirs, however, injection-induced pore-pressure buildup and stress redistribution may reduce fault stability and threaten storage safety. To quantitatively evaluate fault stability, this study develops a three-dimensional numerical model including injection wells, hydraulic fractures, and high-angle faults, incorporating CO2 adsorption–desorption effects. Fault slip tendency (ST) is adopted as the activation criterion to characterize fault-stability evolution. Sensitivity analyses are conducted for key engineering parameters, including injection rate, cumulative injection volume, injection location, fault–well distance, and fracture half-length. Grey relational analysis is used to identify the main controlling factors. Results demonstrate a pronounced nonlinear response of fault stability to injection parameters. Under the investigated scenarios, the maximum fault slip tendency varies from 0.35 to 0.91, and a warning threshold of ST = 0.8 is used to identify potential fault activation risk. Specifically, increasing the injection rate from 3000 to 12,000 m3/d raises the maximum ST from 0.60 to 0.91, while bottom injection yields a maximum ST of 0.81, higher than top injection (0.52) and middle injection (0.35). Increasing fracture half-length from 90 to 180 m raises the maximum ST from 0.45 to 0.81.

Process performance was strongly influenced by carbon identity in defined single substrate conditions. Glucose supported the highest uptake rate of 0.538 g·L -1 ·h -1 , while glucose and sucrose supported rapid growth, with μ m values of 0.13 h -1 and 0.16 h -1 respectively, but low apparent biomass yields of 0.15 g·g -1 and substantial ethanol accumulation at 4.64 ±0.49 g·L -1 and 6.62 ±0.79 g·L -1 , respectively.

The findings show that Indonesia has made important progress in establishing a legal foundation for CCS, yet readiness remains partial. The authority is fragmented across energy, environment, industry, licensing, transport, and sustainable-finance domains; long-term liability and post-closure stewardship remain insufficiently specified; and the integration of social safeguards and ESG-linked governance requirements is still limited. The article argues that industrial CCS can support the pillar of ESG, but only if Indonesia strengthens coordination, clarifies liability, streamlines licensing, and aligns CCS governance with ESG-oriented policy and reporting expectations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.35166/jipm.v9i1.175","authors":["Lenny Hidayat","Michael Timothy Tasliman","M.

Both reference cordierite substrates and developmental substrate materials were evaluated. Sorbent loading, amine chemistry, and substrate properties were varied to assess their influence on adsorption performance, cyclic stability, and resistance to oxidative degradation. VTSA cycling experiments were conducted under process-relevant conditions, including ambient air adsorption and steam-assisted regeneration under reduced pressure. Accelerated aging protocols were employed to evaluate sorbent stability over several 1000 cycles under realistic exposure conditions. Experimental results show that process-relevant performance metrics, particularly adsorption kinetics, thermal management, and cyclic stability, are more critical than equilibrium capacity alone. Sorbents supported on developmental substrate materials showed comparable or improved CO2 capture capacity and aging resistance compared to cordierite-based references, depending on amine formulation. Overall, steam-assisted VTSA with structured amine sorbents represents a promising and industrially relevant pathway for large-scale DAC deployment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100654","authors":["Sandeep Viswanathan","Rabeka Alam","Douglas M.

In this work, a technoeconomic and environmental analysis of liquefied synthetic natural gas production via CO 2 methanation is conducted.

The development of such strategies needs to consider the many possible choices that exist across energy as well as CO2 capture, utilization and storage systems for a given location. In addition, the integrated systems analysis required to determine cost optimal CO2 reduction pathways should ideally be communicated in simple graphical formats to benefit their understanding by planners and policy makers of diverse educational backgrounds.

This work extends the approach to consider detailed energy systems options. The method involves the development of additional marginal abatement cost curves for integrated energy systems using energy systems models that can consider alternative technologies including solar, wind and fuel switching and the dynamics of renewable energy supply and energy demand, which affects the sizing and costs of such systems. The method further involves the incorporation of the energy systems information into combined minimum marginal abatement cost curves that capture information across energy and CCUS options for low cost CO2 emissions reduction. The resulting Mini-MAC curve summarizes the lowest cost solutions available across energy and CCUS options to achieve varying levels of CO2 reduction.

Understanding what consumers hope to receive from mental health services, and listening to their perspectives about what has and has not worked in previous care settings, may illuminate pathways to improved service engagement and outcomes. A mixed-methods research design taking a pragmatic approach to grounded theory guided the analysis of 24 semi-structured interviews with consumers on commencement at three Community Care Units (CCUs) in Australia. Two of these CCUs were trialling a staffing model integrating peer support work with clinical care. All interviews were conducted by an independent interviewer within the first 6 weeks of the consumer's stay. All participants expected the CCU to offer an improvement on previous experiences of care. Comparisons were made to acute and subacute inpatient settings, supported accommodation, and outpatient care. Consumers expected differences in the people (staff and co-residents), the focus of care, physical environ, and rules and regulations. Participants from the integrated staffing model sites articulated the expected value of a less clinical approach to care. Overall, consumers' expectations aligned with the principles articulated in policy frameworks for recovery-oriented practice. However, their reflections on past care suggest that these services continue to face significant challenges realizing these principles in practice. Paying attention to the kind of working relationship consumers want to have with mental health services, such as the provision of choice and maintaining a practical and therapeutic supportive focus, could improve their engagement and outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/inm.12461","authors":["Stephen Parker","Carla Meurk","Ellie Newman","Clayton Fletcher","Isabella Swinson","Frances Dark"],"tags":["Staffing","Grounded theory","Mental health","Context (archaeology)","Nursing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-04-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/inm.12461","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z"},{"id":"oa:W3044138746","name":"Association of an Emergency Department–embedded Critical Care Unit with Hospital Outcomes and Intensive Care Unit Use","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Rationale A small but growing number of hospitals are experimenting with emergency department–embedded critical care units (CCUs) in an effort to improve the quality of care for critically ill patients with sepsis and acute respiratory failure (ARF). Objectives To evaluate the potential impact of an emergency department–embedded CCU at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania among patients with sepsis and ARF admitted from the emergency department to a medical ward or intensive care unit (ICU) from January 2016 to December 2017. Methods The exposure was eligibility for admission to the emergency department–embedded CCU, which was defined as meeting a clinical definition for sepsis or ARF and admission to the emergency department during the intervention period on a weekday. The primary outcome was hospital length of stay (LOS); secondary outcomes included total emergency department plus ICU LOS, hospital survival, direct admission to the ICU, and unplanned ICU admission. Primary interrupted time series analyses were performed using ordinary least squares regression comparing monthly means. Secondary retrospective cohort and before–after analyses used multivariable Cox proportional hazard and logistic regression. Results In the baseline and intervention periods, 3,897 patients met the inclusion criteria for sepsis and 1,865 patients met the criteria for ARF. Among patients admitted with sepsis, opening of the emergency department–embedded CCU was not associated with hospital LOS (β = −1.82 d; 95% confidence interval [CI], −4.50 to 0.87; P = 0.17 for the first month after emergency department–embedded CCU opening compared with baseline; β = −0.26 d; 95% CI, −0.58 to 0.06; P = 0.10 for subsequent months). Among patients admitted with ARF, the emergency department–embedded CCU was not associated with a significant change in hospital LOS for the first month after emergency department–embedded CCU opening (β = −3.25 d; 95% CI, −7.86 to 1.36; P = 0.15) but was associated with a 0.64 d/mo shorter hospital LOS for subsequent months (β = −0.64 d; 95% CI, −1.12 to −0.17; P = 0.01). This result persisted among higher acuity patients requiring ventilatory support but was not supported by alternative analytic approaches. Among patients admitted with sepsis who did not require mechanical ventilation or vasopressors in the emergency department, the emergency department–embedded CCU was associated with an initial 9.9% reduction in direct ICU admissions in the first month (β = −0.099; 95% CI, −0.153 to −0.044; P = 0.002), followed by a 1.1% per month increase back toward baseline in subsequent months (β = 0.011; 95% CI, 0.003–0.019; P = 0.009). This relationship was supported by alternative analytic approaches and was not seen in ARF. No associations with emergency department plus ICU LOS, hospital survival, or unplanned ICU admission were observed among patients with sepsis or ARF. Conclusions The emergency department–embedded CCU was not associated with clinical outcomes among patients admitted with sepsis or ARF. Among less sick patients with sepsis, the emergency department–embedded CCU was initially associated with reduced rates of direct ICU admission from the emergency department. Additional research is necessary to further evaluate the impact and utility of the emergency department–embedded CCU model.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1513/annalsats.201912-912oc","authors":["George L.

CO2 geological storage potential of No. 3 anthracite coal was assessed by integrating the adsorption capacity with the static storage and dissolution capacities. The results show that (1) CO2 adsorption capacities of XJ and SH coals initially increased with depth, peaked at 47.7 cm3/g and 41.5 cm3/g around 1000 m, and later decreased with depth. (2) four assessment areas and their geological model parameters were established based on CO2 phase variation and spatial distribution of coal thickness, (3) the abundance of CO2 geological storage capacity (ACGSC), which averages 40 cm3/g, shows an analogous circularity-sharp distribution, with the high abundance area influenced by depth and coal rank, and (4) the TCGSC and the effective CO2 geological storage capacity (ECGSC) are 9.72 Gt and 6.54 Gt; the gas subcritical area accounted for 76.41% of the total TCGSC. Although adsorption-related storage capacity accounted for more than 90% of total TCGSC, its proportion, however, decreased with depth.

The frequency of apo E4 was higher and that of E2 was lower in the CCU group than in the control group. Apo E mutants, E7 and E5, were also frequent in the CCU group. Subjects with an E3/2 phenotype had reduced LDL and increased VLDL levels, and those with an E4/3 phenotype had increased LDL levels in serum. These results suggest that apo E4 is a positive risk factor and apo E2 a negative risk factor for atherosclerosis. The action of apo E isoproteins to increase or decrease serum LDL levels may be one of the mechanisms of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, the effect of apo E isoforms on serum lipoproteins was evident even in childhood. The mutant apo E binding to LDL receptors were investigated to clarify the metabolism of apo E5 and apo E7. The affinity of apo E5 was twice that of the wild form of apo E3. Apo E7, however, had a lower receptor affinity than apo E3. Therefore, the authors postulate that individuals with apo E5 have increased risk of developing hypercholesterolemia and subsequent atherosclerosis.

To date, fuel switching has arisen as the most readily operational strategy, and its application in the cement sector is expected in the short to midterm. However, around two-thirds of the cement CO 2 emissions come from the calcination of limestone. The implementation of CO 2 capture utilization and/or storage will be crucial to support a reliable net-zero carbon future by 2050–2070. CCS is considered as the most carbon-neutral technology in the cement decarbonization roadmap, while CO 2 recycling (CCU) has arisen as a suitable strategy for those locations where there is an industrial symbiosis between the cement market and CO 2 -based chemical markets (e.g., methanol, formic acid, etc.). Despite that the CCU strategy cannot be carbon-neutral by itself, it could be a powerful option in combination with CCS. To date, most CO 2 recycling technologies are still emerging, and their development has to be boosted in the next decades. In this study, a prospective environmental analysis has been conducted through life cycle thinking to explore the benefits of cement long-term decarbonization by implementing a carbon recycling plant (CRP) based on the emerging electrochemical reduction (ER) of CO 2 to produce methanol (MeOH). The study aims to demonstrate the synergic decarbonization and defossilization for both cement and MeOH markets, respectively. Cell energy efficiency and MeOH concentration have been identified as the key performance parameters that should be around 60% and 40% wt, respectively, to ensure a future sustainable implementation of ER to the MeOH technology. A CRP powered by low-carbon renewable electricity (<0.02 kg CO 2eq /kW h) and with a low-fossil depletion (FD) impact (<0.01 kg oil eq /kW h) could lead to an integrated cement and MeOH production with sharp reductions in the carbon footprint (∼75%) and FD (∼66%) of the integrated cement and MeOH production compared to the conventional fossil-based productions. The proposed CO 2 recycling scheme can contribute to accelerating the innovation of carbon capture and recycling technologies and their deployment in these hard-to-abate sectors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.1c06118","authors":["Marta Rumayor","Javier Fernández-González","Antonio Domínguez-Ramos","Ángel Irabien"],"tags":["Cement","Carbon fibers","Waste management","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Methanol"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.1c06118","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402459629","name":"Experimental research on the fracture and arrest process of supercritical CO2 pipelines","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpvp.2024.105314","authors":["Lei Chen","Yanwei Hu","Zhenxi Liu","Xingqing Yan","Shuai Yu","Shuai Yu","Jianfei Ding","Peiqi Liu","Jianliang Yu","Shaoyun Chen"],"tags":["Supercritical fluid","Pipeline transport","Process (computing)","Fracture (geology)","Petroleum engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpvp.2024.105314","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z"},{"id":"oa:W2142136362","name":"Validation of a novel sleep-quality questionnaire to assess sleep in the coronary care unit: a polysomnography study","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sleep.2015.03.014","authors":["Luciana Julio Storti","Denise Maria Servantes","Melania Aparecida Borges","Lia Bittencourt","Fabrizio Urbinati Maroja","Dalva Poyares","Patrick Rademaker Burke","Vinícius Batista Santos","Rita Simone Lopes Moreira","Frederico José Neves Mancuso","Ângelo Amato Vincenzo de Paola","Sérgio Tufik","Antônio Carlos C.

DESIGN: ) database. SETTING: Any public or private hospital in France. PARTICIPANTS: 98 366 patients admitted with COVID-19 for more than 1 day during the first semester of 2020 were included. The underlying conditions were retrieved for all contiguous stays. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: In-hospital mortality and associated risk factors were assessed using frailty Cox models. RESULTS: Among the 98 366 patients included, 25 765 (26%) were admitted to a CCU. The median age was 66 (IQR: 55-76) years in CCUs and 74 (IQR: 57-85) years in HCUs. Age was the main risk factor of death in both CCUs and HCUs, with adjusted HRs (aHRs) in CCUs increasing from 1.60 (95% CI 1.35 to 1.88) for 46 to 65 years to 8.17 (95% CI 6.86 to 9.72) for ≥85 years. In HCUs, the aHR associated with age was more than two times higher. The gender was not significantly associated with death, aHR 1.03 (95% CI 0.98 to 1.09, p=0.2693) in CCUs. Most of the underlying chronic conditions were risk factors for death, including malignant neoplasm (CCU: 1.34 (95% CI 1.25 to 1.43); HCU: 1.41 (95% CI 1.35 to 1.47)), cirrhosis without transplant (1.41 (95% CI 1.22 to 1.64); 1.27 (95% CI 1.12 to 1.45)) and dementia (1.30 (95% CI 1.16 to 1.46); 1.07 (95% CI 1.03 to 1.12)). CONCLUSION: This analysis confirms the role of age as the major risk factor of death in patients with COVID-19 irrespective to admission to critical care and therefore supports the current vaccination policies targeting older individuals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjresp-2021-001002","authors":["Éric Ouattara","Amélie Bruandet","Aurélie Borde","Xavier Lenne","F.

A Case Study from Offshore Southeast Asia and Potential Technology Enabler for CCUS Wells","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Core jamming is the primary factor that negatively impacts the efficiency of coring operations, especially in deviated wells in sandstone reservoirs which are highly interbedded with shale lamination. Additional coring trips are frequently needed to cut the remaining target reservoir which results in additional cost and reduced coring efficiency. An additional challenge is the acquisition and recovery of cores in a soft and young unconsolidated sediment with unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of less than 1000 psi within interbedded reservoir sections using conventional catchers. This paper discusses the techniques and technology required for overcoming these challenges and provides supporting case studies from selected wells. The reservoir geology obtained from these offset wells’ core samples was studied and evaluated. Coring operating parameters and lessons learnt from the offset wells were reviewed in connection with the previous coring system deployed. The recovery from previous wells was low, based on the best available technology at that time. This insight led to the utilization of jam mitigation technology, commonly used in consolidated and fractured formation applications, to be integrated with a full closure catcher system typically used in soft formation. Combining both individual systems into a unified single coring system addresses the challenges of both jamming in highly interbedded formations and recovering soft and young unconsolidated sediment. Also, by the nature of the full closure system's IT shoe, there is less interaction with the core catcher which allows for reduction of early onset jamming as well. This technology has been successfully developed and deployed in three wells in offshore Southeast Asia (SEA) based on the challenges of these applications, and the performance of this uniquely integrated coring system proved successful on all three wells in two different fields. The high recovery percentage of 98.6% of 171 cored meters proved that this technology addressed the challenges of coring recovery and efficiency in a sandstone reservoir which is highly interbedded with shale lamination and unconsolidated soft formation. The jam mitigation system activation in three out of the eight runs prevented an extra trip and the full closure catcher contributed to a high recovery rate. This coring technology enhancement is a critical solution which enables improved coring efficiency, reduced coring runs, an increased core recovery percentage, and optimizes coring performance in similar challenging future reservoirs. In addition, the high quality of cores acquired using this technology will also be beneficial for coring and laboratory analysis in both caprock and reservoirs for all potential sustainable storage solutions. Integrating reservoir studies with high quality core-based results will help in project planning by reducing risks and improve the outcomes for both Conventional and Energy Transition domains.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2523/iptc-23261-ms","authors":["I.

The French Societies of Clinical Pharmacy and of Anesthesia and Critical Care aimed to evaluate the changes in total needs and the distribution between anesthesia and critical care activities (CCU), to prepare resumed surgical activity. METHODS: National declarative survey among pharmacists, via an online form (SurveyMonkey®), was conducted in April and May 2020. The analysis focused on quantities dispensed during the whole year 2019, and March and April of year 2019 and 2020 for the drugs subject to quota, and on their distribution in CCU and operating theaters. RESULTS: For the 358 establishments (47% public, 53% private), dispensations in CCU in March 2020 compared to March 2019 increased, respectively: propofol (+81%), midazolam (+125%), cisatracurium (+311%), atracurium (+138%), rocuronium (+119%); and decreased for anaesthesia: propofol (-27%), midazolam (-10%), cisatracurium (-19%), atracurium (-27%), rocuronium (+16%). CONCLUSIONS: Variation of dispensations between CCU and others was directly related to the increase of COVID patients in CCU and the decrease in surgical activity. Each establishment could receive up to five or six different presentations and concentrations, leading to a major risk of medication error. This collaborative national survey provided accurate data on the drugs' usual consumption. This work emphasized the need for a strong collaboration between pharmacists and anesthesiologists and intensive care physicians. It was further used by the Health Ministry to adjust the drug distribution.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40545-022-00425-z","authors":["Claire Chapuis","Rémy Collomp","Laura Albaladejo","Hugo Terrisse","Stéphane Honoré","Jean‐Luc Bosson","Pierrick Bedouch","Pierre Albaladéjo"],"tags":["Medicine","Rocuronium","Midazolam","Intensive care","Pharmacy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-04-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40545-022-00425-z","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401524358","name":"Unlocking retention: a prescriptive framework for retaining trained staff in critical care units","source":"europepmc","abstract":"PURPOSE: Nurse turnover in critical care units (CCU) significantly affects patient outcomes and health systems worldwide. To safeguard patient care quality, hospitals must address the underlying reasons for turnover and strategize to retain their skilled nursing workforce.

DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: In this study, the integrated methodology of Delphi-AHP-Entropy was used for the comparative prioritization of factors and subfactors that influence nursing staff turnover in CCUs. FINDINGS: Study findings reveal that \"Organizational factors\" and \"Individual factors\" dictate critical care nurse attrition rate. At the subfactor level, staffing policy, chronic fatigue, and perceived career are the leading concerns for the decision of nurses whether to work or leave. RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS: This study is valuable for both researchers and healthcare professionals. It examines whether actions related to nurse retention align with existing theory and identifies areas requiring further theoretical or applied studies to enhance understanding in this area. This insight can bolster the field's knowledge base and integrate theoretical and applied knowledge effectively. Additionally, for healthcare professionals, the study provides an overview of key factors conducive to retaining nursing staff in the CCU, offering valuable guidance for implementing effective strategies.

They may be involved in immune recognition of classical MHC class Ia (class Ia)-low or -negative tumor cells through their interaction with T cell receptors and/or non-T cell inhibitory or triggering receptors expressed by NK cells and T cells. In the frog Xenopus, the molecular chaperone gp96 mediates a potent immune response involving antigen-specific classical class Ia-unrestricted CD8+ CTL (CCU-CTL) against a transplantable thymic tumor (15/0) that does not express class Ia molecules. We hypothesized that Xenopus nonclassical class Ib gene products (XNC) are involved in gp96-mediated CCU-CTL anti-tumor responses. To investigate the involvement of class Ib gene products in Xenopus anti-tumor responses, we generated, for the first time in ectothermic vertebrates, stable tumor transfectants expressing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) to silence either XNC directly or beta2m to prevent class Ib surface expression. Both types of 15/0 transfectants are more resistant to CCU-CTL killing, more tumorigenic and more susceptible to NK-like cell killing. This study provides in vitro and in vivo evidence of the evolutionary conservation of class Ib involvement in anti-tumor CD8+ T cell responses.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/eji.200636570","authors":["Ana Goyos","Sergey V.

Translation is most commonly initiated by cap-dependent scanning, but many eukaryotic mRNAs contain internal ribosome entry segments (IRESs), providing an alternative means of initiation capable of independent regulation. Here, we show by using dicistronic luciferase reporter vectors that the 5'-UTR of the mRNA encoding human insulin receptor (hIR) contains a functional IRES. RNAi-mediated knockdown showed that the protein PTB was required for maximum IRES activity. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays confirmed that PTB1, PTB2 and nPTB, but not unr or PTB4, bound to hIR mRNA, and deletion mapping implicated a CCU motif 448 nt upstream of the initiator AUG in PTB binding. The IR-IRES was functional in a number of cell lines, and most active in cells of neuronal origin, as assessed by luciferase reporter assays. The IRES was more active in confluent than sub-confluent cells, but activity did not change during differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts to adipocytes. IRES activity was stimulated by insulin in sub-confluent cells. The IRES may function to maintain expression of IR protein in tissues such as the brain where mRNA translation by cap-dependent scanning is less effective.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkp623","authors":["Keith A.

METHODS: One hundred and two consecutive patients (73 +/- 14 years) arriving to the emergency department due to an unexplained syncope were admitted under CR-TEL. Heart rhythm was continuously monitored from a central station by trained nurses. Events included all causes of mortality and arrhythmias unnoticed on emergency department. RESULTS: Thirty patients (29.4%) presented events. There were no deaths during the time of monitoring (4.8 +/- 2.7 days). Events requiring transfer to the coronary care units (CCU) occurred in 15 patients (14.7%), principally due to AV-block and extreme bradycardia. Cardiac remote telemetry was diagnostic in 18 patients (17.6%) in whom the arrhythmic event occurred simultaneously with the syncopal episode. Multivariate analysis showed that age > or =86 years (P < 0.01) and heart failure on admission (P < 0.04) were the strongest predictors of events.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of nature sounds on sleep quality among patients in CCUs. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 93 patients hospitalized in the CCUs of three teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Patients were randomly allocated into three groups, namely, nature sounds, silence, and control groups. Patients in the nature sounds group listened to nature sounds for 30 min in two consecutive nights while their counterparts in the silence group only wore mute headphones. Patients in the control group neither listened to nature sounds nor wore headphones. The Richards–Campbell sleep questionnaire was used for the evaluation of the patients' sleep quality two days before and during the intervention. The mean scores of sleep quality at the first two and the last two nights, respectively, were considered as the pretest and the posttest sleep quality. Cohen's d, one-way analysis of variance, paired-sample t, Chi-square, Fisher's exact, and the Scheffe post hoc tests were used to analyze the data. Results: Posttest-pretest mean differences of the sleep depth, the number of awakenings, and the returning to sleep domains of sleep quality in the control group were significantly less than nature sounds group (P < 0.001). Moreover, the posttest-pretest mean differences of the total sleep quality and its sleep latency and subjective sleep quality domains in the control group were significantly lower than both the nature sounds and the silence groups (P < 0.001). On the other hand, none of the differences between the nature sounds and the silence groups were statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Both nature sounds and silence can significantly improve sleep quality among patients in CCUs. Nurses can use these strategies to improve the sleep quality of a patient in these units.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/nms.nms_39_17","authors":["TaherehNajafi Ghezeljeh","Maryam Nasari","Hamid Haghani"],"tags":["Medicine","Sleep (system call)","Randomized controlled trial","Sleep quality","Audiology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.4103/nms.nms_39_17","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z"},{"id":"oa:W4380205111","name":"Boosting the CO2 adsorption performance by defect-rich hierarchical porous Mg-MOF-74","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2023.144052","authors":["Haifei An","Weijian Tian","Xin Lü","Huanmei Yuan","Liyun Yang","Hao Zhang","Haoming Shen","Hao Bai"],"tags":["Adsorption","Flue gas","Porosity","Metal-organic framework","Mesoporous material"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-06-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2023.144052","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z"},{"id":"oa:W4283155433","name":"Double Yields and Negative Emissions?

Using process level carbon and energy balance models, this paper shows how the capture of residual CO2 in conjunction with either permanent storage (CCS) or biofuel production (CCU) benefits fourteen largely residue-based biofuel production pathways. With a few noteworthy exceptions, most pathways have low carbon utilization efficiencies (30–40%) without CCS/U. CCS can double these numbers and deliver negative emission biofuels with GHG footprints below −50 g CO2 eq./MJ for several pathways. Compared to CCS with no revenue from CO2 sequestration, CCU can offer the same efficiency gains at roughly two-third the biofuel production cost (e.g., 99 EUR/MWh vs. 162 EUR/MWh) but the GHG reduction relative to fossil fuels is significantly smaller (18 g CO2 eq./MJ vs. −99 g CO2 eq./MJ). From a combined carbon, cost and climate perspective, although commercial pathways deliver the cheapest biofuels, it is the emerging pathways that provide large-scale carbon-efficient GHG reductions. There is thus some tension between alternatives that are societally best and those that are economically most interesting for investors. Biofuel pathways vent CO2 in both concentrated and dilute streams Capturing both provides the best environomic outcomes. Existing pathways that can deliver low-cost GHG reductions but generate relatively small quantities of CO2 are unlikely to be able to finance the transport infrastructure required for transformative bio-CCS deployment. CCS and CCU are accordingly important tools for simultaneously reducing biogenic carbon wastage and GHG emissions, but to unlock their full benefits in a cost-effective manner, emerging biofuel technology based on the gasification and hydrotreatment of forest residues need to be commercially deployed imminently.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2022.797529","authors":["Yawer Jafri","Johan Ahlström","Erik Furusjö","Simon Harvey","Karin Pettersson","Elin Svensson","Elisabeth Wetterlund"],"tags":["Biofuel","Greenhouse gas","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Fossil fuel","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-06-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2022.797529","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.161Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407265837","name":"Establishing leadership in bringing carbon capture, utilisation and storage to scale","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon capture, utilisation and storage, often referred to simply as CCUS, refers to a suite of technologies to decarbonise many hard-to-abate industries.

Given the urgency to decarbonize global energy systems, governments and industry are moving ahead with efforts to increase deployment of hydrogen technologies, infrastructure, and applications at an unprecedented pace, including USD billions in national incentives and direct investments. While zero- and low-carbon hydrogen hold great promise to help solve some of the world's most pressing energy challenges, hydrogen is also an indirect greenhouse gas whose warming impact is both widely overlooked and underestimated. This is largely because hydrogen's atmospheric warming effects are short-lived – lasting only a couple decades – but standard methods for characterizing climate impacts of gases consider only the long-term effect from a one-time pulse of emissions. For gases whose impacts are short-lived, like hydrogen, this long-term framing masks a much stronger warming potency in the near to medium term. This is of concern because hydrogen is a small molecule known to easily leak into the atmosphere, and the total amount of emissions (e.g., leakage, venting, and purging) from existing hydrogen systems is unknown. Therefore, the effectiveness of hydrogen as a decarbonization strategy, especially over timescales of several decades, remains unclear. This paper evaluates the climate consequences of hydrogen emissions over all timescales by employing already published data to assess its potency as a climate forcer, evaluate the net warming impacts from replacing fossil fuel technologies with their clean hydrogen alternatives, and estimate temperature responses to projected levels of hydrogen demand. We use the standard global warming potential metric, given its acceptance to stakeholders, and incorporate newly published equations that more fully capture hydrogen's several indirect effects, but we consider the effects of constant rather than pulse emissions over multiple time horizons. We account for a plausible range of hydrogen emission rates and include methane emissions when hydrogen is produced via natural gas with carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) (“blue” hydrogen) as opposed to renewables and water (“green” hydrogen). For the first time, we show the strong timescale dependence when evaluating the climate change mitigation potential of clean hydrogen alternatives, with the emission rate determining the scale of climate benefits or disbenefits. For example, green hydrogen applications with higher-end emission rates (10 %) may only cut climate impacts from fossil fuel technologies in half over the first 2 decades, which is far from the common perception that green hydrogen energy systems are climate neutral. However, over a 100-year period, climate impacts could be reduced by around 80 %. On the other hand, lower-end emissions (1 %) could yield limited impacts on the climate over all timescales. For blue hydrogen, associated methane emissions can make hydrogen applications worse for the climate than fossil fuel technologies for several decades if emissions are high for both gases; however, blue hydrogen yields climate benefits over a 100-year period. While more work is needed to evaluate the warming impact of hydrogen emissions for specific end-use cases and value-chain pathways, it is clear that hydrogen emissions matter for the climate and warrant further attention from scientists, industry, and governments. This is critical to informing where and how to deploy hydrogen effectively in the emerging decarbonized global economy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-22-9349-2022","authors":["Ilissa Ocko","Steven P.

Different tools have been developed to plan minimal cost CO2 reduction pathways taking into consideration various options such as CO2 capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS), shifting from fossil to renewable energy sources, as well as adopting sector-specific low emissions technologies. Current methods used to support strategic planning include high-level tools that cannot account for many possible options or fail to incorporate cost objective, and complex optimization approaches that are capable of identifying detailed low-cost solutions yet are demanding to use and often yield complex solutions in terms of processing schemes that are not easily understood by strategic planners. To address these limitations, a simple and clear methodology is proposed that allows to determine minimum cost CO2 reduction pathways from the rich set of available options. The novel methodology employs an algebraic targeting technique that yields minimum marginal abatement cost (Mini-MAC) curves to clearly represent the low-cost CO2 emissions reduction pathway available. The application of the methodology is illustrated with an example to develop minimum cost emissions reduction pathways considering CCUS, power shifting options, and negative emissions technologies. The benefits of the proposed Mini-MAC curves over alternative methods stem from their richness in terms of assessing CCUS, energy management options, and various integration options. Further, the clarity of the proposed Mini-MAC curves enables planners to easily understand available minimum cost pathways when developing strategies aimed at achieving low-cost CO2 emissions reduction.

This trend translates in an increased need for economical and human resources, among which is nurse staffing the most affected. AIMS: To identify possible predictors of nurse workload, during and after diagnostic and interventional procedures. METHODS: Two hundred and sixty consecutive patients were included: 52 and 208 patients underwent femoral and radial access, respectively. Nurse workload was calculated with a self-developed model. RESULTS: Cathlab nurse workload was 103 [63--156] min. Independent predictors of increased Cathlab nurse workload were: femoral access, failed radial access and cross-over, interventional procedures, procedural time, urgent procedures. Cathlab nurse workload was 174 [134--218] and 86 [58--126] min, for femoral and radial access, respectively (p<0.001). Among the overall population, 174/260 patients (44 females, mean age 66+/-11 years) were hospitalised at our Center after the procedure. Fifty-six and 118 patients had femoral and radial access, respectively. Ward nurse workload was 457 [226--954] min. Independent predictors of increased Ward nurse workload were: access-site complication, length of in-hospital stay, admission to CCU, interventional procedures. Ward nurse workload was 386 [226--652] and 720 [314--1375] min, respectively for radial and femoral access (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: A systematic radial access is an effective strategy for reducing nurse workload, both during, by simplifying nurse tasks in the CathLab, and after coronary invasive procedures, by preventing access-site complications, shortening in-hospital stays, and reducing admissions to CCU.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejcnurse.2005.03.005","authors":["Giovanni Amoroso","Mascia Sarti","Rita Bellucci","Francesca Li Puma","Silvia D'Alessandro","Ugo Limbruno","Alessia Canova","Anna Sonia Petronio"],"tags":["Medicine","Workload","Clinical judgment","Intensive care medicine","Medical physics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2005-05-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejcnurse.2005.03.005","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W1998053695","name":"Can We Treat CO2 Well Blowouts like Routine Plumbing Problems?

In this work, spectroelectrochemistry was used to analyze the electrochemical CO2 reduction (eCO2R) in CO2 saturated monoethanolamine (MEA)‐based capture solutions, in a novel CCU process. The in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy experiments show that at the Bi catalyst, the active species involved in the eCO2R is the dissolved CO2 in solution, and not carbamate. In addition, the products of eCO2R were evaluated under flow, using commercial Bi2O3 NP as catalyst. Formate and acetate were detected, with normalized FE for acetate up to 14.5 %, a remarkable result, considering the catalyst used. Acetate is formed either in the presence of cetrimonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant or at higher current density (>−100 mA cm−2) and the results enabled the proposition of a pathway for its production.

Considering multiple uncertainties, which include carbon trading price volatility, carbon utilization revenue fluctuation, and changes in carbon transport and storage cost, the least squares Monte Carlo simulation method is used to solve the problems of path dependence. The research results show that the independent effects of carbon trading mechanisms on investment stimulation and emission reduction are limited. The utilization ratio of captured CO2 has significant impacts on the net present value and investment value of the CCUS project. Moreover, the investment threshold is highly sensitive to the utilization proportion of food grade CO2 with high purity.

We, for the first time, developed a promising method to mineralize CO 2 using earth-abundant potassium feldspar in order to effectively reduce CO 2 emissions. Our experiments demonstrate that, after adding calcium chloride hexahydrate as an additive, the K-feldspar can be transformed to Ca-silicates at 800°C, which can easily mineralize CO 2 to form stable calcium carbonate and recover soluble potassium. The conversion of this process reached 84.7%. With further study, the pretreatment temperature can be reduced to 250°C using hydrothermal method by adding the solution of triethanolamine (TEA). The highest conversion can be reached 40.1%.

This paper describes fundamental studies on integrating CO 2 mineralization and concurrent selective metal extraction from natural olivine. Nearly 90% of nickel and cobalt extraction and mineral carbonation efficiency are achieved in a highly selective, single-step process. Direct aqueous mineral carbonation releases Ni 2+ and Co 2+ into aqueous solution for subsequent recovery, while Mg 2+ and Fe 2+ simultaneously convert to stable mineral carbonates for permanent CO 2 storage. This integrated process can be completed in neutral aqueous solution. Introduction of a metal-complexing ligand during mineral carbonation aids the highly selective extraction of Ni and Co over Fe and Mg. The ligand must have higher stability for Ni-/Co- complex ions compared with the Fe(II)-/Mg- complex ions and divalent metal carbonates. This single-step process with a suitable metal-complexing ligand is robust and utilizes carbonation processes under various kinetic regimes. This fundamental study provides a framework for further development and successful application of direct aqueous mineral carbonation with concurrent EMR. The enhanced metal extraction and CO 2 mineralization process may have implications for the clean energy transition, CO 2 storage and utilization, and development of new critical metal resources.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2203937119","authors":["Fei Wang","David Dreisinger"],"tags":["Olivine","Mineralization (soil science)","Carbon fibers","Metal","Geochemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-08-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2203937119","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4220969678","name":"Application of robust intelligent schemes for accurate modelling interfacial tension of CO2 brine systems: Implications for structural CO2 trapping","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2022.123821","authors":["Majid Safaei-Farouji","Hung Vo Thanh","Danial Sheini Dashtgoli","Qamar Yasin","Ahmed E.

At the transmitter, two distinct messages requested by the two groups respectively are split and then encoded into one common stream and two private streams, based on the principles of rate splitting multiple access (RSMA). The cell-center-users (CCUs) in one group decode the common stream and their own private stream successively, then cooperatively form a distributed beamformer to assist the cell-edge-users (CEUs) in common stream transmission. To make full utilization of the time resources during cooperation, all the CCUs operate in FD mode to enable information receiving and forwarding simultaneously. Moreover, since it is unfair to sacrifice the cooperator’ energy to forward, each CCU is enabled to harvest energy from the received signal by adopting power-splitting protocol. With the objective of minimizing the system transmission power while guaranteeing all the groups’ target rates, an optimization problem is formulated to jointly design the beamformers, message splitting and power-splitting ratio. We reformulate the non-convex problem by using the difference of convex (DC) programming, and then propose an iterative algorithm based on successive convex approximation to solve it to obtain a local minimum. Further, a robust algorithm combining the semi-positive definite relaxation (SDR) technique and penalty function method is developed for the case with imperfect channel state information. Although our proposed FD-CRS scheme adopts the seemingly energy-wasting wireless power transfer technique, the simulation results still confirm the superiority of the proposed scheme, i.e., it outperforms the other baseline schemes in terms of power consumption under various user deployment, network loads and target rates. That is attributed to the comprehensive utilization of FD cooperation gain, spatial multiplexing gain as well as power multiplexing gain.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/twc.2021.3129881","authors":["Tiantian Li","Haixia Zhang","Xiaotian Zhou","Dongfeng Yuan"],"tags":["Multicast","Computer science","Computer network"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-11-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1109/twc.2021.3129881","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4225905103","name":"Comparing the impact on the prognosis of acute myocardial infarction critical patients of using midazolam, propofol, and dexmedetomidine for sedation","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: There are less studies focusing on the sedative therapy of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) critical patients.

Interleukin (IL)-1β is pivotal in the pathophysiology. OBJECTIVES: Here we investigated the cellular source of proinflammatory mediators in the skin of patients with SchS. METHODS: Skin biopsies of lesional and nonlesional skin from eight patients with SchS and healthy controls, and patients with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), delayed-pressure urticaria (DPU) and cold-contact urticaria (CCU) were studied. We studied in vivoIL-1β, IL-17 and antimicrobial protein (AMP) expression in resident skin cells and infiltrating cells. In addition we investigated the in vitro effect of IL-1β, IL-17 and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly:IC) stimulation on cultured epidermal keratinocytes. RESULTS: Remarkably, we found IL-1β-positive dermal mast cells in both lesional and nonlesional skin of patients with SchS, but not in healthy control skin and CCU, and fewer in CAPS. IL-17-positive neutrophils were observed only in lesional SchS and DPU skin. In lesional SchS epidermis, mRNA and protein expression levels of AMPs were strongly increased compared with nonlesional skin and that of healthy controls. When exposed to IL-1β, poly:IC or IL-17, patient and control primary human keratinocytes produced AMPs in similar amounts. CONCLUSIONS: Dermal mast cells of patients with SchS produce IL-1β. This presumably leads to activation of keratinocytes and neutrophil influx, and further amplification of inflammation by IL-17 (from neutrophils and mast cells) and epidermal AMP production leading to chronic histamine-independent neutrophilic urticarial dermatosis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/bjd.13857","authors":["Heleen D. de Koning","Ivonne M.J.J. van Vlijmen‐Willems","D.

Here, we study the cytokine profiles in 111 patients with ICUS (N = 41), CCUS (N = 30), lower-risk MDS (LR-MDS; N = 22) and higher-risk MDS (HR-MDS; N = 18), and in healthy elderly controls (N = 21). Twenty cytokines were examined in blood plasma at time of diagnosis using Luminex assays and enzyme linked immunosorbent assays. The cytokine levels were compared between patient groups, and in patients versus controls. Associations between cytokines and MDS-associated mutations were evaluated. An aberrant cytokine profile was observed in all patient groups relative to healthy elderly controls. Patients had significantly higher levels of IL-6 (P< 0 .001), tumor necrosis factor α (P < 0.001), IL-10 (P < 0.001), and C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (P < 0.001) and lower levels of transforming growth factor beta 1 (P < 0.001), CCL5/regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted (P < 0.001), and S100A4 (P < 0.001) compared with healthy controls. Survival was significantly shorter in CCUS and MDS patients with a high systemic inflammatory cytokine load (median overall survival [OS] 21 months) compared with those with low-moderate systemic inflammatory cytokine load (median OS 64 months; P < 0.0001). These data suggest that patients with ICUS and CCUS have cytokine levels as abnormal as in LR-MDS. Indeed, high cytokine levels are present before MDS is diagnosed and cytokine levels are elevated irrespective of the presence or size of the myeloid clones. Cytokines may have a prognostic impact at a very early premalignant stage of myeloid disorders.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/hs9.0000000000000713","authors":["Amalie Bach Nielsen","Jakob Werner Hansen","Andreas Due Ørskov","Konstantinos Dimopoulos","M.

Optimal investments in storage and resulting levels of curtailment are identified based on five smart energy system integration levels (SESIL), progressing from a sole electricity sector focus to a fully integrated system of electricity, heating, cooling, industry, transport, and materials. The study finds and quantifies that the overall least-cost solution is only identified in a fully integrated smart energy system, with affordable types of energy storage and little curtailment which cannot be found in a sole electricity sector approach. Furthermore, the study shows and quantifies that with the aim of a climate-neutral society, it becomes essential to take a holistic smart energy system's approach to identify least-cost storage and energy balancing solutions, and suggests a tool and a method to identify such solutions.

Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the mycoflora of indoor and outdoor environments of five major hospitals in Khorramabad, Iran. Materials and Methods: Sampling of air was done from indoor and outdoor environments of wards, surroundings and green space of hospitals by settle plate method. To obtain the sample from surfaces, pre-moistened swabs with cotton-tipped sticks were applied on different surfaces (floor, the walls, windows, beds, trolleys, laryngoscope and angiography devices). Culture plates of air and surfaces on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and Malt Extract Agar (MEA) were incubated in the dark at 28 C and examined daily for fungal colonies for two to three weeks. Fungal isolates were identified by a combination of their macroscopic and microscopic criteria after purification on isolation culture media. Results: A total of 707 fungal colonies including, Penicillium (29.14%), Cladosporium (24.04%), Aspergillus (20.65%), Fusarium (9.05%), Alternaria (3.96%), Rhodotorula (1.69%), Cryptococcus neoformans (0.7%) and other fungi (10.77%) were isolated. All the examined high-risk parts of the hospitals were found to be contaminated by various fungi. Conclusions: Aspergillus was the most prominent genus in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and surgery, Cladosporium in Critical Care Unit (CCU), emergency and thalassemia, and Penicillium in orthopedic, emergency and neonatal sections. Among pathogenic yeasts, C. neoformans was isolated from ICU, surgery and orthopedic sections. The dimorphic fungal pathogen, Sporothrix schenckii, was reported from CCU. The isolated fungi specially the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium are potential threats for immunocompromised patients in the hospitals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5812/jjm.5074","authors":["Asghar Sepahvand","Masoomeh Shams‐Ghahfarokhi","Abdolamir Allameh","Mehdi Razzaghi‐Abyaneh"],"tags":["Cladosporium","Microfungi","Alternaria","Penicillium","Fusarium"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-11-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5812/jjm.5074","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4211161293","name":"Simulation of the COVID-19 patient flow and investigation of the future patient arrival using a time-series prediction model: a real-case study","source":"openalex","abstract":"COVID-19 looks to be the worst pandemic disease in the last decades due to its number of infected people, deaths, and the staggering demand for healthcare services, especially hospitals. The first and most important step is to identify the patient flow through a certain process.

This study aims to first simulate the patient flow process and then predict the future entry of patients in a hospital as the case study. Also, according to the system status, this study suggests some policies based on different probable scenarios and assesses the outcome of each decision to improve the policies. The simulation model is conducted by Arena.15 software. The seasonal auto-regressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model is used for patient's arrival prediction within 30 days. Different scenarios are evaluated through a data envelopment analysis (DEA) method. The simulation model runs for predicted patient's arrival for the least efficient scenario and the outputs compare the base run scenario. Results show that the system collapses after 14 days according to the predictions and simulation and the bottleneck of the ICU and CCU departments becomes problematic.

Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a standardized questionnaire. RESULTS: Overall, 33.6% and 17.3% of FSWs reported CCU with paying and nonpaying sex partners, respectively. Consistent condom use with paying partners was significantly associated with temporary marriage, accessing family planning services and history of working in brothels. Conversely, temporary marriage or married status, condom rupture/slippage, and HIV seropositivity remained independently significantly associated with CCU with nonpaying sex partners.

Consequently, optimization models have been proposed to determine the configuration of CCUs. However, most of the existing models assume that any transition between configurations finishes in a single interval. This assumption is often violated in reality, as a transition might last up to a few hours during which the CCU has limited dispatchability. In this paper, we propose a mixed-integer programming formulation that represents the transition ramping of CCUs. We show the tightness and compactness of the proposed model.

Coal has long been China’s dominant energy source and accounts for more than 70–80% of its carbon emissions. Reducing the share of coal power supply and increasing carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) in coal power plants are the two primary efforts to reduce carbon emissions in China. However, even as energy and water consumed in CCUS are offset by reduced energy consumption from green energy transitions, there may be tradeoffs from the carbon–energy–water (CEW) nexus perspective. This paper developed a metric and tool known as the “Assessment Tool for Portfolios of Coal power production under Carbon neutral goals” (ATPCC) to evaluate the tradeoffs in China’s coal power industry from both the CEW nexus and financial profits perspectives. While most CEW nexus frameworks and practical tools focus on the CEW nexus perturbation from either an external factor or one sector from CEW, ATPCC considers the coupling effect from C(Carbon) and E(Energy) in the CEW nexus when integrating two main carbon mitigation policies. ATPCC also provides an essential systematic life cycle CEW nexus assessment tool for China’s coal power industry under carbon-neutral constraints. By applying ATPCC across different Chinese coal industry development portfolios, we illustrated potential strategies to reach a zero-emission electricity industry fueled by coal. When considering the sustainability of China’s coal industry in the future, we further demonstrate that reduced water and energy consumption results from the energy transition are not enough to offset the extra water and energy consumption in the rapid adoption of CCUS efforts. However, we acknowledge that the increased energy and water consumption is not a direct correlation to CCUS application growth nor a direct negative correlation to carbon emissions. The dual effort to implement CCUS and reduce electricity generation from coal needs a thorough understanding and concise strategy. We found that economic loss resulting from coal reduction can be compensated by the carbon market. Carbon trading has the potential to be the dominant profit-making source for China’s coal power industry. Additionally, the financial profits in China’s coal power industry are not negatively correlated to carbon emissions. Balance between the carbon market and the coal industry would lead to more economic revenues. The scenario with the most rapid reduction in coal power production combined with CCUS would be more sustainable from the CEW nexus perspective. However, when economic revenues are considered, the scenario with a moderately paced energy transition and CCUS effort would be more sustainable. Nevertheless, the ATPCC allows one to customize coal production scenarios according to the desired electricity production and emission reduction, thus making it appropriate not only for use in China but also in other coal-powered regions that face high-energy demands and carbon neutrality goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15124466","authors":["Yachen Xie","Jiaguo Qi","Rui Zhang","Xiaomiao Jiao","Gabriela Shirkey","Shihua Ren"],"tags":["Nexus (standard)","Coal","Carbon neutrality","Environmental economics","Water-energy nexus"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-06-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15124466","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4236085382","name":"Decreases in mortality on a large urban medical service by facilitating access to critical care.

We evaluate the carbon capture performance of over 60 nanoporous materials and determine the influence of the initial and final CO2 purity on the parasitic energy of the carbon capture process. Moreover, we demonstrate the underlying principles of the parasitic energy minimization in more detail using the commercially available NaX zeolite. Finally, the calculated utilization cost of CO2 is compared with the reported prices for CO2 and published costs for CCS.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/c6fd00031b","authors":["Lennart Joos","Johanna M.

The frequency of apo E-4 was higher and that of E-2 was lower in the CCU group than in the control group. Apo E mutants, E-7 (Glu244----Lys, Glu245----Lys) and E-5 (Glu3 (Glu3----Lys), were also frequent in the CCU group.

These findings suggest that basic apo Es were associated with the development of atherosclerosis. The prevalence of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in the CCU group was more than 10 times higher than the reported frequency of FH heterozygotes in normal population. The persistence of marked hypercholesterolemia from infancy probably makes FH patients susceptible to atherosclerosis. Based on the analysis of LDL-receptor protein synthesis, various types of mutations were observed even in phenotypically homozygous FH patients. FH homozygotes were divided into 2 groups, a receptor-negative group and a receptor-defective group.

Direct current cardioversion is the therapy of choice, but if found contraindicated or unavailable some antiarrhythmic agents are usually given to restore sinus rhythm. Many of these drugs have obvious limitations, especially in patients with acute myocardial infarction and/or heart failure. HYPOTHESIS: The aim of the present study was to assess the safety and efficacy of intravenous amiodarone in the acute termination of PAF or PSVT refractory to other antiarrhythmic agents in a large group of patients consecutively admitted to our CCU. METHODS: In the present study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of amiodarone given intravenously in 142 consecutive patients with PAF or PSVT lasting < 24 h. In 37% of patients no evidence of underlying heart disease which may have caused arrhythmias were defined. A median of two other antiarrhythmic agents given prior to the first amiodarone injection had been ineffective. RESULTS: Sinus rhythm was restored in 91 patients (64%) (65% in the PAF group and 61% in the PSVT group). The mean time to rhythm conversion was 5.5 +/- 6.1 h for patients with PAF and 1.2 +/- 1.2 h for patients with PSVT. The mean dose of amiodarone administered up to conversion was 340 +/- 220 mg for PAF and 220 +/- 105 mg for PSVT. Except for transient first-degree atrioventricular block in two patients, no adverse effects possibly related to amiodarone were observed (including proarrhythmia and incidence or aggravation of heart failure symptoms). CONCLUSION: Amiodarone given intravenously for acute termination of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias is completely safe and seems effective. The results of this study, which is the largest ever made, indicate a need of randomized, controlled trials for the ultimate assessment of the efficacy of amiodarone in this clinical setting.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/clc.4960190708","authors":["Jacek Cybulski","Piotr Kułakowski","Ewa Makowska","Aleksandra Czepiel","Małgorzata Sikora-Frąc","Leszek Ceremuzyñki"],"tags":["Medicine","Amiodarone","Sinus rhythm","Anesthesia","Cardiology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"1996-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/clc.4960190708","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4414981391","name":"Decarbonizing the Cement Industry: Technological, Economic, and Policy Barriers to CO2 Mitigation Adoption","source":"openalex","abstract":"The cement industry accounts for approximately 7–8% of global CO2 emissions, primarily due to energy-intensive clinker production and limestone calcination. With cement demand continuing to rise, particularly in emerging economies, decarbonization has become an urgent global challenge. The objective of this study is to systematically map and synthesize existing evidence on technological pathways, policy measures, and economic barriers to four core decarbonization strategies: clinker substitution, energy efficiency, alternative fuels, as well as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) in the cement sector, with the goal of identifying practical strategies that can align industry practice with long-term climate goals. A scoping review methodology was adopted, drawing on peer-reviewed journal articles, technical reports, and policy documents to ensure a comprehensive perspective. The results demonstrate that each mitigation pathway is technically feasible but faces substantial real-world constraints. Clinker substitution delivers immediate reduction but is limited by SCM availability/quality, durability qualification, and conservative codes; LC3 is promising where clay logistics allow. Energy-efficiency measures like waste-heat recovery and advanced controls reduce fuel use but face high capital expenditure, downtime, and diminishing returns in modern plants. Alternative fuels can reduce combustion-related emissions but face challenges of supply chains, technical integration challenges, quality, weak waste-management systems, and regulatory acceptance. CCUS, the most considerable long-term potential, addresses process CO2 and enables deep reductions, but remains commercially unviable due to current economics, high costs, limited policy support, lack of large-scale deployment, and access to transport and storage. Cross-cutting economic challenges, regulatory gaps, skill shortages, and social resistance including NIMBYism further slow adoption, particularly in low-income regions. This study concludes that a single pathway is insufficient. An integrated portfolio supported by modernized standards, targeted policy incentives, expanded access to SCMs and waste fuels, scaled CCUS investment, and international collaboration is essential to bridge the gap between climate ambition and industrial implementation. Key recommendations include modernizing cement standards to support higher clinker replacement, providing incentives for energy-efficient upgrades, scaling CCUS through joint investment and carbon pricing and expanding access to biomass and waste-derived fuels.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cleantechnol7040085","authors":["Oluwafemi E.

The incorporation of process and mass transfer intensification approaches can enhance the carbonation process, unlocking the potential of sodium carbonation pathways for a sustainable CCU process. Over all, the study aims to shed light on the existing constraints and pave the way for future innovation and effective implementation strategies in the field of carbon capture and utilization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rineng.2024.102536","authors":["Marta Sibhat","Guodong Yao","Ningzheng Zhu","Gedion Tsegay","Kaiyu Fang","Qiuxia Zhu","Yangyuan Zhou","Jianfu Zhao"],"tags":["Carbonation","Sodium bicarbonate","Greenhouse gas","Waste management","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rineng.2024.102536","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W3167245407","name":"Microseismic monitoring for reliable CO2 injection and storage — Geophysical modeling challenges and opportunities","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Recently, the oil and gas industry started to experience a major evolution that could impact the geophysical community for decades. The effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will lead to more renewable energy and less fossil fuel consumption. In parallel, the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) business is expected to develop rapidly. However, reliably injecting massive amounts of CO2 underground is more challenging than producing hydrocarbons from a known reservoir. Site integrity monitoring and CO2 leak detection are among the biggest challenges. Capabilities to address these challenges will be requested by regulators and the public for acceptance. This surveillance requires technologies such as microseismic monitoring either from the surface or borehole. Each CCUS project will need a preinjection feasibility study in order to design the best sensor network architecture and to set performance expectancies. Acquisition will be performed over long periods of time. Data harvesting and processing will be performed permanently in automated workflows. For these objectives, site operators must demonstrate their expertise through permanent benchmarks based on a common modeling and simulating platform. Microseismic monitoring is not fully mature and presents additional unsolved challenges for large-scale projects such as CCUS. Using a common and public geologic model to generate synthetic data is a solution to gain more credibility. Limitations can be mitigated after analyzing and quantifying gaps such as localization uncertainties. The model is complex due to the nature of CO2 injection and will evolve over time. A public consortium, such as the SEG Advanced Modeling (SEAM) Corporation, that gathers expertise to generate a common model and synthetic data sets will give the credibility and openness necessary to progress in scientific knowledge. It will also provide the necessary transparency for regulatory approval and public acceptance. A new common CCUS modeling platform offers opportunities to work more efficiently within different disciplines.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1190/tle40060418.1","authors":["M.

Reduction in alarm signals may lead to increased staff responsiveness to alarms and create a quieter environment for patients. The effect of these changes on patient outcomes is uncertain. METHODS: We conducted a pilot, prospective, randomized, controlled trial in the cardiac care unit (CCU) to test a study protocol and data collection instruments and to examine the differences in alarms between usual care and altered settings. Subjects were randomized daily to either standard or altered CCU alarm settings. Secondary outcomes included the number of clinically significant events (CSEs) detected, event-triggered interventions (ETIs), frequency of alarms per monitored bed, and patient complications. RESULTS: Over the two-week study time frame, 22 unique patients were enrolled. There were 1,710 alarms over 163 hours of monitoring in the standard group and 1,165 alarms over 169 hours in the study group (P < 0.001). There were more CSEs detected (14 vs. 3) and ETIs (12 vs. 2) in the study group, but sample size was too small to determine efficacy. No cardiac arrests or adverse patient outcomes were observed in either group. All patients were discharged from the hospital. Study protocol and outcomes were feasible and lessons were learned.

Moreover, already established carbon capture technologies, such as absorption, adsorption, and membrane-based separation, and emerging technologies like calcium looping or cryogenic separation are presented. Beyond carbon capture technologies, this review also discusses how captured CO2 can be securely stored (CCS) physically in deep saline aquifers or depleted gas and oil reservoirs, stored chemically via mineralization, or used in enhanced oil recovery. The concept of utilizing the captured CO2 (CCU) for producing value-added products, including formic acid, methanol, urea, or methane, towards a circular carbon economy will also be shortly discussed. Real-life applications, e.g., already pilot-scale continuous methane (CH4) production from flue gas CO2, are shown. Actual deployment of the most crucial technologies for the future will be explored in real-life applications.

The air brake model, developed in this investigation and presented in this paper and a companion paper, consists of the locomotive automatic brake valve, air brake pipe and car control unit (CCU). The proposed air brake force model accounts for the effect of the air flow in long train pipes as well as the effect of leakage and branch pipe flows. This model can be used to study the dynamic behavior of the air flow in the train pipe and its effect on the longitudinal train forces during brake application and release. The governing equations of the air pressure flow are developed using the general fluid continuity and momentum equations, simplified using the assumptions of one-dimensional isothermal flow. Using these assumptions, one obtains two coupled air velocity/pressure partial differential equations that depend on time and the longitudinal coordinate of the brake pipes. The partial differential equations are converted to a set of first-order ordinary differential equations using the finite element method. The resulting air brake ordinary differential equations are solved simultaneously with the train’s second-order non-linear dynamic differential equations of motion that are based on the trajectory coordinates. The train car non-linear dynamics is defined using a body track coordinate system that follows the car motion. The body track coordinate system translation and orientation are defined in terms of one parameter that describes the distance traveled by the car. The configuration of the car with respect to its track coordinate system is described using two translation coordinates and three Euler angles. The operation modes of the brake system considered in this investigation are the brake release mode and the brake application mode that includes service and emergency brakes. A detailed model of the locomotive automatic brake valve is presented in this investigation and used to define the inputs to the air brake pipe during the simulation. A simplified model of this valve is also proposed in order to reduce the computational time of the simulation. In a companion paper, the detailed CCU formulation is presented. The coupling between the air brake, locomotive automatic brake valve, CCUs and train equations is established and used in the companion paper in the simulation of the non-linear dynamics of long trains. The air brake formulations presented in the two companion papers are implemented in a computer code called Analysis of Train/Track Interaction Forces (ATTIF) which is developed for the analysis of longitudinal train forces.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/0954409712447230","authors":["Stefano Specchia","Ali Afshari","Ahmed A.

In order to detect all STEMI patients, the ECG should be transmitted in all cases of suspected acute cardiac ischemia. The aim of this study was to examine the ability of an artificial neural network (ANN) to safely reduce the number of ECGs transmitted by identifying patients without STEMI and patients not needing acute PCI. METHODS: Five hundred and sixty ambulance ECGs transmitted to the coronary care unit (CCU) in routine care were prospectively collected. The ECG interpretation by the ANN was compared with the diagnosis (STEMI or not) and the need for an acute PCI (or not) as determined from the Swedish coronary angiography and angioplasty register. The CCU physician's real time ECG interpretation (STEMI or not) and triage decision (acute PCI or not) were registered for comparison. RESULTS: The ANN sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values for STEMI was 95%, 68%, 18% and 99%, respectively, and for a need of acute PCI it was 97%, 68%, 17% and 100%. The area under the ANN's receiver operating characteristics curve for STEMI detection was 0.93 (95% CI 0.89-0.96) and for predicting the need of acute PCI 0.94 (95% CI 0.90-0.97). If ECGs where the ANN did not identify a STEMI or a need of acute PCI were theoretically to be withheld from transmission, the number of ECGs sent to the CCU could have been reduced by 64% without missing any case with STEMI or a need of immediate PCI. CONCLUSIONS: Our ANN had an excellent ability to predict STEMI and the need of acute PCI in ambulance ECGs, and has a potential to safely reduce the number of ECG transmitted to the CCU by almost two thirds.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-7241-20-8","authors":["Jakob Lundager Forberg","Ardavan Khoshnood","Michael Green","Mattias Ohlsson","Jonas Björk","Stefan Jovinge","Lars Edenbrandt","Ulf Ekelund"],"tags":["Conventional PCI","Medicine","Myocardial infarction","Cardiology","Percutaneous coronary intervention"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-7241-20-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4390021908","name":"Predicting cytopenias, progression, and survival in patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance: a prospective cohort study","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Background Somatic mutations are frequently reported in individuals with cytopenia but without a confirmed haematological diagnosis (clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance; CCUS). These patients have an increased risk of progression to a myeloid malignancy and worse overall survival than those with no such mutations. To date, studies have been limited by retrospective analysis or small patient numbers. We aimed to establish the natural history of CCUS by prospectively investigating outcome in a large, well defined patient cohort. Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted at the Haematological Malignancy Diagnostic Service, a diagnostic laboratory in Leeds, UK. Patients aged at least 18 years who were referred for investigation of cytopenia were eligible for inclusion; those with a history of myeloid malignancy were not eligible. Targeted sequencing was conducted alongside routine clinical testing. Baseline mutation analysis was then correlated with the main study outcomes: longitudinal blood counts, disease progression to a myeloid malignancy, and overall survival with a median follow-up of 4·54 years (IQR 4·03-5·04). Data were collected manually from hospital records or extracted from laboratory or clinical outcome databases. Findings Bone marrow samples from 2348 patients were received at the Haematological Malignancy Diagnostic Service between July 1, 2014, and July 31, 2016. Of these, 2083 patients (median age 72 years [IQR 63-80, range 18-99]; 854 [41·0%] female and 1229 [59·0%] male) met the inclusion criteria and had samples of sufficient quality for further analysis. 598 (28·7%) patients received a diagnosis on the basis of their biopsy sample, whereas 1485 (71·3%) samples were classified as non-diagnostic; of these, CCUS was confirmed in 400 (26·9%) patients (256 [64·0%] male and 144 [36·0%] female).

To support these features we introduce a machine organization that allows the cooperation of a processor and a set of CCUs. To control the CCUs we extend once the instruction set of the processor with eight instructions. To efficiently incorporate these features to an embedded processor, we propose a micro-architecture implementation that minimizes the control and communication overhead between the processor and the CCUs. To evaluate our proposal, we extended a MIPS processor with the ARISE infrastructure and implemented it on a Xilinx field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Implementation results, demonstrate that the timing model of the processor is not affected. Also, we implemented a set of benchmarks on the ARISE evaluation machine.

During this time, how to balance cardiovascular emergency patients and COVID-19 control has become a global challenge. For acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with COVID-19, a safe and efficient medical environment should be ensured in parallel with effective reperfusion therapy. However, most medical centres do not have professionally protected cardiac catheterization rooms and cardiac care units (CCUs) for respiratory infectious diseases. Under these circumstances, the prevention of COVID-19 needs the coordination of hospital administrators and the collaboration of multidisciplinary teams including the cardiology department, emergency department, infections department, pneumology department, radiology department, and the medical laboratory department. All together, this ensures a smooth workflow. Based on real-world experiences in AMI management during the COVID-19 outbreak, Peking Union Medical College Hospital first proposed the following medical recommendations in China. These recommendations have been verified by the practice of many Chinese medical institutions and should be promoted worldwide for peer reference. All the contents of this recommendation are in strict accordance with the COVID-19 prevention principles of World Health Organization and the regulations from each national health authorities. Medical treatment protocols should first be developed. Medical staff from departments of cardiology, emergency, and radiology, and the cardiac catheterization room should be trained for the early recognition of COVID-19, and the disinfection measures for facilities and medical equipment used by suspected patients. Clinical institutions should strictly abide by the law of prevention and control of infectious disease. Protecting the medical staff and other patients as well as being compliant with the principle ‘Save the heart, race against time’ to the maximum. Minimize the total myocardial ischaemia time for patients (Figure 1). Management of suspected STEMI patients with potential risk of COVID-19 infection. For STEMI patients with confirmed COVID-19, strict isolation should start immediately, and thrombolytic contraindications should be evaluated. Patients with thrombolytic contraindications should be transferred to the local designated infectious medical institution immediately for further treatment through the first-aid transport mode designated by the government. Patients without thrombolytic contraindications should first start intravenous thrombolysis and then transfer to the local designated medical institution of infectious disease for further treatment. For STEMI patients with suspected COVID-19 (defined as fever, respiratory symptoms, and/or epidemiological linkage to other COVID-19 cases or areas with cluster transmission), the emergency should be protected strictly according to the standard of the fever clinic. Routine blood examination, C-reactive protein, pharyngeal swab/sputum specimen/blood sample for detection of novel coronavirus nucleic acid, and chest computed tomography (CT) examination should be performed for COVID-19 confirmation. Considering the fact that most medical centres do not have professional protected interventional catheterization rooms, and the conflict between time required for novel coronavirus nucleic acid detection and early reperfusion for AMI, it is recommended to start emergency intravenous thrombolysis for STEMI patients if COVID-19 cannot be excluded in a short time. Cardiologists should be contacted for the indications and contraindications, and myocardial reperfusion therapy should be initiated within 30 min. If COVID-19 was diagnosed after intravenous thrombolysis, patients should be transferred to the designated infectious medical institution for further treatment.

METHODS: The Cardiac Denial of Impact Scale, Health Locus of Control Scale, Health Value Scale and Pennebaker Inventory of Limbic Languidness were administered to 62 patients between 3 and 6 days after admission. RESULTS: Attribution of symptoms to heart disease and health locus of control had a significant predictive effect on patients seeking help within 60 min, while previous experience of heart disease did not. CONCLUSION: Assisting individuals to recognise the potential for symptoms to have a cardiac origin is an important objective.

Dramatically increasing carbon dioxide concentrations are thought to cause a severe greenhouse effect, leading to severe and sustained global warming, associated climate instability and unwelcome natural disasters, melting glaciers and extreme weather patterns. The treatment of flue gas from thermal power plants uses carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology, one of the most promising current methods to accomplish significant CO 2 emission reduction. In order to implement the technological and financial system of CO 2 capture, which is the key technology of CCUS technology and accounts for 70-80% of the overall cost of CCUS technology, it is crucial to create more effective adsorbents. Nowadays, with the development and application of various carbon dioxide capture materials, it is necessary to review and summarize carbon dioxide capture materials in time. In this paper, the main technologies of CO 2 capture are reviewed, with emphasis on the latest research status of CO 2 capture materials, such as amines, zeolites, alkali metals, as well as emerging MOFs and carbon nanomaterials. More and more research on CO 2 capture materials has used a variety of improved methods, which have achieved high CO 2 capture performance. For example, doping of layered double hydroxides (LDH) with metal atoms significantly increases the active site on the surface of the material, which has a significant impact on improving the CO 2 capture capacity and performance stability of LDH. Although many carbon capture materials have been developed, high cost and low technology scale remain major obstacles to CO 2 capture. Future research should focus on designing low-cost, high-availability carbon capture materials.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-024-33370-2","authors":["Hongtao Dang","Bin Guan","Junyan Chen","Zeren Ma","Yujun Chen","Jinhe Zhang","Zelong Guo","Lei Chen","Jingqiu Hu","Yi Chao","Shunyu Yao","Zhen Huang"],"tags":["Carbon dioxide","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Environmental science","Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage","Carbon dioxide removal"],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-024-33370-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"oa:W565218169","name":"Heart & mind: The practice of cardiac psychology.","source":"openalex","abstract":"The Emergence of Cardiac Psychology A Whirlwind Tour of Cardiology for the Mental Health Professional Empirical Basis for Cardiac Psychology Is There a Need for Cardiac Psychology?

Many studies have been conducted on improving energy efficiency and using cleaner energy sources in buildings. However, implementing carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) on NG building heating systems is overlooked in the literature. CCUS technologies have proved their potential to reduce GHG emissions in fossil fuel power plants. However, their applicability for building-level applications has not been adequately established.

International Nursing Review59, 66–72 Background: The demanding nature of the critical care unit (CCU) presents a challenge to many nursing professionals and carries the risk of a high turnover rate. The critical care nurse (CCN) is responsible for caring for the most ill patients in hospitals, and the acute shortage of nurses contributes to the intensity and pressure of the environment. While the reasons for the nursing shortage are varied and complex; a key factor seems to be an unhealthy work environment. Little evidence exists of research conducted to investigate the practice environment of CCNs in South Africa (SA). Purpose: This study aimed to construct a grounded theory for positive practice environments (PPEs) in private CCUs in SA. Methods: Intensive interviews and a constant comparative approach to data collection and data analysis were used to explore the participants' (n = 6) perceptions of the elements of a PPE. Findings: A theory depicting the core conceptual category of being in control and its relation to the other six categories was constructed from the data to explain a PPE for private CCUs in SA. Conclusions: The study provides a robust overview of the elements of a PPE and contributes to the constructivist application of grounded theory. Study limitations: The study was conducted in the private healthcare sector in SA, thus limiting the findings to this context.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1466-7657.2011.00923.x","authors":["Ronel Pretorius","Hester C.

Numerous studies have evaluated the CO2 reduction effects and economics of CCUs and CDRs; however, uncertainties in these evaluations due to various regional characterizations and future technological transitions are of high importance. In this study, four synthetic fuels (fuels produced from captured CO2 and H2), methanol, methane, gasoline, and diesel, were evaluated by life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic assessment (TEA). Five representative countries with different regional characteristics were selected for the study. A bottom-up integrated LCA/TEA approach was used, involving detailed process simulations to avoid uncertainties and to evaluate future technological transitions based on direct air capture (DAC) and renewable energy. The overarching objective of this study was to provide a transparent framework with a common dataset generation methodology to determine the countries that have the advantages/disadvantages in synthetic fuel production and sale, considering the local operational parameters and large-scale introduction of DAC/renewable energy. Such multiple synthetic fuel analyses across various jurisdictions have not been conducted in previous studies. The results showed that the highest and lowest CO2 reductions were achieved by diesel (average 6.33 kg-CO2·kg−1) and methanol (average 3.43 kg-CO2·kg−1), respectively, whereas the highest and lowest product costs were of gasoline (average 2.96 USD·kg−1) and methanol (average 0.82 USD·kg−1), respectively. The technological transition using DAC and renewable energy showed average CO2 emission reductions of 47% (methanol), 99% (methane), 545% (gasoline), and 621% (diesel). Moreover, in the future, the lowest CO2 emission reduction costs are expected in Germany for methanol and diesel, Australia for methane, and Canada for gasoline.

RESULTS: It is a local single-center cross-sectional observational registry of CCU patients 1 year from July 2015 to July 2016. Patient's data were collected through a special software program. Women with evidence of HF were thoroughly studied. Among the 1006 patients admitted to CCU in 1 year, 345 (34.2%) patients were females and 118 (34.2%) had evidence of HF, whereas 661 (65.7%) were males and 178 (26.9%) of them had HF. Women with HF showed 11.7% prevalence of the total population admitted to CCU. 72.7% were HFrEF and 27.3% were HFpEF. Compared to men, women with HF were older in age, more obese, less symptomatic than men, had higher incidence of associated co-morbidities, less likely to be re-admitted for HF, and less likely to have ACS and PCI.

METHODS: A 23-item survey was developed and incorporated a literature review, national recommendations, and expert input. It was sent in the spring of 2019 to all 13 Canadian Adult CCM training programs via their respective program directors. Three months were allowed for data collection and descriptive statistics were compiled. RESULTS: Eleven of 13 (85%) programs responded, of which only 7/11 (64%) followed national recommendations. Curricula differed, as did how education was delivered: 8/11 (72%) used hands-on training; 7/11 (64%) used educational rounds; 5/11 (45%) used image interpretation sessions, and 5/11 (45%) used scan-based feedback. All 11 employed academic half-days, but only 7/11 (64%) used experience gained during clinical service. Only 2/11 (18%) delivered multiday courses, and 2/11 (18%) had mandatory ultrasound rotations. Most programs had only 1 or 2 local CCUS expert-champions, and only 4/11 (36%) assessed learner competency. Common barriers included educators receiving insufficient time and/or support.

Eight patients (1%, six males, two females, mean age 55.6) presented with skin lesions, mainly disseminated maculopapular exanthema, but also digitate papulosquamous rash (reported in Ref.1), herpes recurrence, papulovesicular rash and Grover's disease. The mean delay between respiratory/systemic and dermatological signs was 13 days. Our systematic review of the literature identified 56 articles (including our series) evaluating 1020 patients (Table 1, WHOLE cohort) between 1 December 2019 and 9 of May 2020.2-10 Diagnosis of COVID-19 infection was confirmed in 47% of patients (Table 1, CONFIRMED cohort). The female-to-male ratio was 1.1 in both cohorts. Mean ages were 42 and 48 in the WHOLE and CONFIRMED cohorts, respectively. Rashes were the most frequent manifestations (54% and 70% in the WHOLE and CONFIRMED cohorts, respectively). These rashes were erythematous maculopapular/morbilliform, urticarial/annular, vesicular/varicelliform or petechial/purpuric by order of frequency. Trunk was the preferential localization of rashes. Other cutaneous manifestations included chilblains in 34% patients in the WHOLE cohort, but in only 11.5% cases in the CONFIRMED cohort. Digital necrosis was more frequently reported in the CONFIRMED cohort (11.5% vs. 5%). Transient livedo was uncommon (1%). About 70% of all patients experienced pruritus. Other symptoms were burning and pain. The mean delay between the onset of respiratory/systemic symptoms and cutaneous manifestations was around 6.8 days in both cohorts. In some cases, rashes preceded the occurrence of systemic symptoms. When mentioned, chilblains appeared most frequently as a late manifestation. The mean duration of skin lesions was 9 days in both cohorts. We retrieved six series, including ours, in which the numbers of both infected patients and patients with skin signs were available.4, 6, 7, 9, 10 Cutaneous lesions were observed in 38 patients over 2199 COVID-19 cases. Therefore, the mean incidence of cutaneous manifestations in COVID-19 patients was 1.7% (Fig. 1a). Besides, we investigated whether cutaneous manifestations could correlate with COVID-19 severity. Therefore, we analysed severity criteria [hospital admission, pneumonia, transfer to Critical Care Unit (CCU), death] in patients of the WHOLE cohort with rashes or chilblains. In patients with rashes, severity was found in 64% of cases and death in 2%, while it was respectively found in 5% and 0% patients with chilblains. We found a statistically significant association between pneumonia, hospitalization, transfer to CCU or death and the occurrence of a rash as compared to chilblains (Fig. 1b). The incidence of skin signs during COVID-19 is variable in the literature, ranging from 0.2% in China to 20% in North Italy. Our literature analysis indicated that the worldwide incidence is low, around 1–2%, as we observed in our hospital. Skin lesions were dominated by rashes and chilblains, that seem to present opposite prognosis. However, rashes could not always be discriminated with drug-induced exanthema. Likewise, chilblains pathogenesis in the setting of COVID-19 remains poorly understood and its relationship with SARS-CoV-2 is still unclear. Importantly, in our systematic review of the literature, only 15% of chilblains cases ha","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jdv.16775","authors":["Sara Matar","Bénédicte Oulès","Pierre Sohier","O.

Despite the potential impact of multispectral imaging, its widespread use has been limited by the poor spectral selectivity of naturally occurring materials beyond the visible range. In this study, we present a multilayered planar cavity structure to simultaneously record mutually independent visible and infrared (IR) images on solid surfaces. The structure consists of a color control unit (CCU) and an emission control unit (ECU). The visible color of the cavity is controlled by varying the thickness of the CCU, whereas its IR emission is spatially tuned by the laser-induced phase change of a Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 layer embedded in the ECU. Because the CCU comprises only IR lossless layers, its thickness variation has negligible influence on the emission profile. This enables different color and thermal images to be printed in a single structure. The cavity structure can be fabricated on flexible substrates (plastic and paper) as well as rigid bodies. Furthermore, the printed images remain stable against bending. This study shows that the proposed multispectral metasurface is highly promising for use in the field of optical security, such as identification, authentication, and anti-counterfeiting.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.3c04670","authors":["Dongkyun Kang","Yeongseon Kim","Myeongkyu Lee"],"tags":["Multispectral image","Materials science","Planar","Optics","Infrared"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-06-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.3c04670","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W7123349495","name":"Comparative Evaluation of Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Models for Optimizing Water-Alternating-Gas (WAG) Processes in CCUS Projects","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Optimizing WAG processes is crucial for maximizing oil recovery and carbon sequestration efficiency in CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects. This study presents a comparative evaluation of two deep learning models, Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), for multivariate forecasting of oil production, CO2 sequestration efficiency, utilization, and retention in WAG scenarios. A comprehensive dataset of digitized monthly production and injection data from six U.S. fields was used to train and validate both models. The results show that the LSTM model outperforms the TFT model in terms of accuracy and reduced errors, with improved predictive capabilities for oil production and CO2 sequestration efficiency. The LSTM model achieved high predictive accuracy, with R2 values reaching 0.99 and robust mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean squared error (RMSE) factors. In contrast, the TFT model achieved R2 values of 0.87 and higher MAE and RMSE factors. Head-to-head accuracy favors the LSTM model, as it achieves higher fit quality and lower errors in the majority of comparisons for both EOR oil and CO2. The size of the margin varies by case, but the direction of the difference is consistent. This outcome, though unexpected due to the advanced nature of TFT, aligns with the learning conditions in this study, where the forecast horizon is short, the historical time series per field are modest in length, and the covariate set is compact. Under such conditions, a compact recurrent architecture like LSTM tends to generalize efficiently and resist variance from operational noise, while a higher-capacity transformer like TFT is more sensitive to data volume and hyperparameters such as encoder length, attention size, learning rate, and dropout. Additionally, LSTM converges more stably with modest tuning, enabling it to reach strong solutions within the available data and horizon. The forecasts generated by the LSTM model enabled actionable short-term operational recommendations, such as adjusting the WAG ratio to optimize CO2 retention and utilization efficiency. For example, adjusting the WAG ratio from 0.9 to 1.9 in the Denver Unit increased CO2 retention by 168% and utilization efficiency by 50%. These optimizations support enhanced carbon abatement by reducing CO2 recycling and improving sequestration permanence. This study demonstrates the potential of deep learning models, particularly LSTM, to optimize WAG processes and improve the efficiency of CO2 EOR operations. The approach offers a scalable, data-driven alternative to simulation workflows, aligning EOR operations with climate and sustainability targets. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comparative study of LSTM and TFT models for real-field CO2 EOR forecasting and WAG strategy optimization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2523/iptc-25235-ms","authors":["Ahmed Wagia-Alla","Nasser Almutairi","Zahra Alsakhin"],"tags":["Transformer","Mean squared error","Computer science","Time series","Deep learning"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2523/iptc-25235-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W1547987224","name":"Informal savings and credit institutions in the urban areas: The case of cooperative credit unions","source":"openalex","abstract":"History of the Sample CCUs 25Ill.

From the creation of the coronary care unit (CCU), with its concept of intensive monitoring of patients who have cardiac arrhythmias, to understanding the genetics of ion channel disturbances responsible for inherited cardiac arrhythmias, clinical cardiac electrophysiology has evolved into an established discipline credited with improving and saving hundreds of thousands of lives. In this review, we will highlight the top 10 significant advances responsible for this remarkable transformation.\n\n### Ambulatory ECG\n\nRecording the ECG in the ambulatory individual provided the ability for the first time to obtain online information in an active individual. Begun by Holter and Gengerelli1 in 1949, the initial device weighed 85 pounds and was strapped to the back. The most modern version is implanted subcutaneously and can monitor the cardiac rhythm for long time periods.2 Ambulatory ECG has led to many new insights, including an understanding of the mechanisms of sudden cardiac death, causes of syncope, and the concept of painless ischemia. All implantable pacemakers and cardioverter/defibrillators (ICDs) have the ability to record the cardiac rhythm, which is a useful adjunct to decision making.\n\n### The CCU\n\nA major step forward in reducing death from myocardial infarction was the introduction of the CCU,3 where continuous monitoring of cardiac rhythm and hemodynamic status allowed early recognition and correction of life-threatening complications.4 Closed-chest cardiac massage and defibrillation became important life-saving measures, and the value of the well-trained nurse in this milieu became clear. The CCU also taught us to develop short- and long-term risk profiles of the patient, based on ECG, hemodynamic, and enzymatic findings. The concept of warning arrhythmias emerged along with the use of prophylactic lidocaine administration.5 Neither stood the test of time.6 7 The …","url":"https://doi.org/10.1161/01.cir.102.suppl_4.iv-52","authors":["Douglas P.

This was especially evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to assess the professional quality of life (ProQOL) and establish the prevalence of compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue among CCU nurses in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of CCU nurses was conducted using the ProQOL Scale, consisting of three subscales: 1) compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue, 2) burnout, and 3) secondary traumatic stress. The data were analyzed to obtain descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: A total of 238 ICU nurses, who were predominantly female (83%) and had a bachelor's degree (80%), participated in this study. The ProQOL subscales exhibited varied mean scores across demographic variables. Statistically significant differences were observed in the compassion satisfaction (p=0.014) of CCU nurses working in public hospitals, and in the secondary traumatic stress (p=0.006) among nurses working in night shifts. The percentage distribution of CCU nurses' individual levels for all the ProQOL subscales were within the average to high levels. Conclusion: The ProQOL was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, varied ProQOL mean scores across demographic characteristics suggest that interpersonal differences should be considered when developing improvement initiatives.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2147/jhl.s383575","authors":["Mohammed Ageel","Abdullah M.

Industrially relevant highly reactive alkali cellulose solutions are used as CO2 absorption media. The latter lead to mineralized cellulose materials (MCM) at a tailorable cellulose‐to‐mineral ratio, forming organic‐inorganic viscous systems (viscosity from 102 to 107 mPa s and storage modulus from 10 to 105 Pa). CO2 absorption and conversion into calcium carbonate and associated minerals translate to maximum absorption of 6.5 gCO2 gcellulose−1, tracking inversely with cellulose loading.

The process of entering into the cloud is generally in the form of queue, so that each user need to wait until the current user is being served. In the system, each Cloud Computing User (CCU) requests Cloud Computing Service Provider (CCSP) to use the resources, if CCU(cloud computing user) finds that the server is busy then the user has to wait till the current user completes the job which leads to more queue length and increased waiting time. So to solve this problem, it is the work of CCSP's to provide service to users with less waiting time otherwise there is a chance that the user might be leaving from queue. CCSP's can use multiple servers for reducing queue length and waiting time. In this paper, we have shown how the queuing model, M/M/S model is used for multiple servers to reduce the mean queue length and waiting time.","url":"https://openalex.org/W2337279176","authors":["T.

The characteristics of the most abundant tRFs, tRFGly(CCC), tRFVal(AAC) and tRFArg(CCU), were presented. It was found that these parental tRNAs present in cells are the source of many tRFs, thus increasing the pool of potential regulatory RNAs. Indeed, a bioinformatic analysis showed the possibility that tRFGly(CCC) and tRRFVal(AAC) could regulate the activity of a range of kidney proteins. Moreover, the distribution of tRFs and the efficiency of their expression is similar in adult and embryonic stem cells. During the formation of tRFs, HK-2 cells resemble A-498 cancer cells more than other cells. Additionally, we postulate the involvement of Dicer nuclease in the formation of tRF-5b in all the analyzed tRNAs.

This study describes the relationship between socio-demographic and behavioural factors with consistent condom use (CCU) and HIV among FSWs in AP. METHODS: A cross-sectional community-based study was conducted among female sex workers (FSW) in eight districts of Andhra Pradesh, India, using conventional cluster sampling and time-location cluster sampling. Key risk behaviours and STIs related to the spread of HIV were assessed. Blood samples were collected to detect syphilis, Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neiserria gonorrhoeae (NG) and HIV serology. RESULTS: About 70 per cent of the FSWs were illiterates, nearly 50 per cent were currently married and 41 per cent of the FSWs had sex work as the sole source of income. More than 95 per cent of the FSWs heard of HIV, but about 99 per cent believed that HIV/AIDS cannot be prevented. Logistic regression analysis showed significantly lesser CCU with high client volume, not carrying condom and could not use condom in past 1 month due to various reasons such as non co-operation by the clients. Similarly, CCU was significantly (P<0.001) lesser (only 8.9%) with regular non-commercial partners. Overall there was 16.3 per cent prevalence of HIV amongst FSWs. C. trachomatis and N. gonorrheae were prevalent in 3.4 and 2 per cent of the FSWs, respectively and about 70 per cent of the FSWs were positive for HSV2 serology. HIV was significantly associated with STIs. INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSIONS: Misconception that HIV/AIDS cannot be prevented is very high. Most of the subjects in the present study had first sexual debut at a very young age. HIV was associated with STIs, emphasizing aggressive STI diagnosis and treatment. CCU must be emphasized right from first sexual debut with all clients and non-commercial partners as well.","url":"https://openalex.org/W1951851640","authors":["R Hemalatha","R. Hari Kumar","K.

Understanding comorbidity networks among critical care unit (CCU) patients can help doctors diagnose patients faster, minimize missed diagnoses, and potentially decrease morbidity and mortality. Objective: The main objective of this study was to identify the comorbidity network among CCU patients using a novel application of a machine learning method (graphical modeling method). The second objective was to compare the machine learning method with a traditional pairwise method in simulation. Method: This cross-sectional study used CCU patients' data from Medical Information Mart for the Intensive Care-3 (MIMIC-3) dataset, an electronic health record (EHR) of patients with CCU hospitalizations within Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital from 2001 to 2012. A machine learning method (graphical modeling method) was applied to identify the comorbidity network of 654 diagnosis categories among 46,511 patients. Results: Out of the 654 diagnosis categories, the graphical modeling method identified a comorbidity network of 2,806 associations in 510 diagnosis categories. Two medical professionals reviewed the comorbidity network and confirmed that the associations were consistent with current medical understanding. Moreover, the strongest association in our network was between \"poisoning by psychotropic agents\" and \"accidental poisoning by tranquilizers\" (logOR 8.16), and the most connected diagnosis was \"disorders of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance\" (63 associated diagnosis categories). Our method outperformed traditional pairwise comorbidity network methods in simulation studies. Some strongest associations between diagnosis categories were also identified, for example, \"diagnoses of mitral and aortic valve\" and \"other rheumatic heart disease\" (logOR: 5.15). Furthermore, our method identified diagnosis categories that were connected with most other diagnosis categories, for example, \"disorders of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance\" was associated with 63 other diagnosis categories. Additionally, using a data-driven approach, our method partitioned the diagnosis categories into 14 modularity classes. Conclusion and relevance: Our graphical modeling method inferred a logical comorbidity network whose associations were consistent with current medical understanding and outperformed traditional network methods in simulation. Our comorbidity network method can potentially assist CCU doctors in diagnosing patients faster and minimizing missed diagnoses.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fdata.2023.846202","authors":["Bo Zhao","Sarah P.

Herein, lectin-fortified cationic copper sulfide (cCuS) nanoparticles were suggested for targeted adhesion to bacterial membranes and to enforce bacterial death. Jacalin, a lectin from jackfruit seed, was conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and its ability to recognize bacterial cell surface glycans was demonstrated. Jacalin formed a noncovalent complex with cCuS, which was investigated by fluorescence quenching measurements. The data revealed that jacalin–cCuS (JcCuS) had a good affinity with an association constant K a of 2.27 (± 0.28) × 10 4 M –1 . The resultant JcCuS complex displayed excellent anti-infective activity against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of cCuS was 62.5 μM, which was 2-fold lower than that of the broad-spectrum antibiotic ciprofloxacin. Interestingly, the MIC of JcCuS was reduced to 15.63 μM, which was attributed to jacalin fortification. The mechanistic study unveiled that JcCuS affected the membrane integrity, depolarized the inner membrane, and produced excess reactive oxygen species to combat CRAB at a lower concentration compared to cCuS. A. baumannii formed a biofilm more readily, which played a critical role in pathogenesis and resistance in clinical settings. JcCuS (3.91 μM) displayed stronger antibiofilm activity without affecting the metabolic viability of CRAB. Microscopy analyses confirmed the inhibition of biofilm formation and disruption of the mature biofilm upon treatment with JcCuS. Furthermore, JcCuS hindered pellicle formation and inhibited the biofilm-associated virulence factor of CRAB such as exopolysaccharide, cell surface hydrophobicity, swarming, and twitching mobility. The anti-infective potential of JcCuS was demonstrated by rescuing CRAB-infected zebrafish. The reduction in pathogen proliferation in muscle tissues was observed in the treated group, and the fish recovered from the infection and was restored to normal life within 12 h. The findings illustrate that lectin fortification offers a unique advantage in enhancing the therapeutic potential of antimicrobials against human pathogens of critical priority worldwide.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.2c05252","authors":["Dharshini Karnan Singaravelu","Dalal Nasser Binjawhar","Fuád Ameén","Anbazhagan Veerappan"],"tags":["Acinetobacter baumannii","Microbiology","Medicine","Chemistry","Virology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-11-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.2c05252","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W2493724205","name":"Opportunities for increasing CO2 storage in deep, saline formations by active reservoir management and treatment of extracted formation water: Case study at the GreenGen IGCC facility, Tianjin, PR China","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2016.07.039","authors":["Paul Ziemkiewicz","Philip H.

METHODS: On December 19th, 2011, extended infusion dosing of piperacillin-tazobactam was implemented at St. John's Hospital's intensive and cardiac care units (ICU/CCU) following IRB-approval. This is a historical case-control cohort study involving review of electronic medical charts of patients who received traditional or extended infusion therapy. Data was collected for patients that received piperacillin-tazobactam in the ICU/CCU from December 19th, 2010 through March 19th, 2011 for traditional infusion and from December 19th, 2011 through March 19th, 2012 for extended infusion. Primary endpoints were ICU/CCU mortality at discharge and length of stay. RESULTS: The study included 113 patients with 52 in the traditional-infusion group and 61 extended-infusion group. There was no statistically significant difference in the primary end-point of ICU/CCU mortality between the two groups (14.8% vs. 21.1%; p = 0.374). In the extended infusion group, there was a shorter length of ICU and CCU stay (8.32 vs. 12.06 days; p = 0.025) and shorter length of hospital stay (11.32 vs. 19.7 days; p = 0.006). The extended-infusion group showed a decrease in cost of therapy that was statistically significant ($120.21 vs. $155.17; p = 0.035). Adverse drug effects did not differ between the two study groups.

Recently, integrated carbon capture and conversion (ICCC) was regarded as a potential approach to lower the cost of CCUS, and development of efficient dual-functional materials (DFMs) is among the top priority in the area. Herein, Ni-MgO-Al 2 O 3 DFMs were prepared by calcination of Ni-impregnated Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (MgAl-LDH), as such, the pre-loaded Ni species was actively involved in the decomposition of MgAl-LDH, therefore the synergy and balance of the adsorption and catalytic functionalities for ICCC can be promoted in the resulted DFMs. The optimized sample (20NiMgAl(5 0 0)) showed excellent ICCC performance. At 300 °C, continuous abatement of CO 2 from simulated flue gas (15 vol.%CO 2 /N 2 ) was achieved with an excellent efficiency of 280 L·h −1 ·kg −1 . Composition analysis of the effluent gas demonstrated that over 97 % CO 2 in the feed could be captured, and over 95 % of the captured CO 2 was converted to CH 4 with ∼ 100 % selectivity. Full retention of the adsorption capacity was observed for 10 adsorption-methanation cycles, and the post-reaction characterization of the DFMs indicated little structure change. This work may pave a way to the practical application of the ICCC technology, and also inspire other integration approaches between CO 2 capture and the following mitigation technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seppur.2023.124295","authors":["Xingbo Wang","Deng Hu","Yingdong Hao","Lina Zhang","Nannan Sun","Wei Wei"],"tags":["Dual (grammatical number)","Carbon fibers","Chemical engineering","Materials science","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-06-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seppur.2023.124295","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4379385958","name":"Review on Nitrogen-Doped Porous Carbon Materials for CO 2 Adsorption and Separation: Recent Advances and Outlook","source":"openalex","abstract":"One of the most serious environmental problems is the global warming brought by CO 2 and other greenhouse gases.

The adsorption properties of porous carbon material are capable of being directionally controlled by regulating the collocation of carbonization and activation methods and setting the technological parameters used in the preparation process. In addition, nitrogen doping can enhance the effect between adsorbent and adsorbate, leading to higher CO 2 adsorption capacity. After in-depth studies, although there is still no clear explanation on the mechanism of nitrogen-doped enhancement of the adsorption properties of the adsorbent, it can be confirmed that the main reason is not the traditional acid–base theory, but a large number of micropores, specific surface area, and induction forces are more likely to be the root cause. The porous carbon materials preparation methods, pore structure adjustment strategies, and the types of functionalization and mechanism between nitrogen-doped sites and adsorbents are highlighted in this Review.

Donor Action takes a systematic approach towards achieving quality assurance in the whole donation process. It is designed to give hospitals participation and ownership of donation practices that can be tailored to meet identified needs in critical care units (CCUs). The program has been successfully introduced in 18 countries and in over 250 CCUs in North and South America, Europe and Asia. 2. Aggregated data collected in 162 CCUs in 10 countries showed significant losses of potential donors along the donation pathway. The major factor impacting on converting medically suitable cases with signs of brain death into potential donors was the willingness of CCU staff to formally diagnose brain death. Major reasons for non-donation in BD-diagnosed cases were non-referral (26.5%), family refusal (20%), or no approach of next-of-kin (13.2%). 3. Pre-intervention data show that professional training, clear role definitions, teamwork, comprehensive guidelines and consistent protocols dealing with all donation-related tasks in the CCU setting are critical to achieve optimal donation rates. 4. Implementation of these improvement measures in 10 countries have shown an immediate overall increase of donation rates of 59% after 1 year and a sustained, even growing effect on referral and donation rates in those countries with sufficient follow-up, proving a permanent impact of DA's methodology. 5. As a health-economic evaluation, based on the German case, shows that the implementation cost of the program in pilot centers was far below the investment thresholds. Donor Action is more cost-effective than other publicly reimbursed medical interventions. Incorporating health economic consequences of other cadaveric organ transplants into the analysis could even further improve the cost-benefit ratio of Donor Action compared with current organ donation practices.","url":"https://openalex.org/W2465711999","authors":["Leo Roels","Bernard Cohen","Caroline Gachet","Blanca S Miranda"],"tags":["Medicine","Donation","Referral","Organ donation","Economic shortage"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2002-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407594169","name":"Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage in the MENA Region: A Regional Review of Projects and Challenges","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Climate change poses a severe threat to both the environment and human health, manifesting in floods, droughts, global warming, and food and energy security threats. This threat arises from the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), especially carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).

Thus, understanding the progress in carbon management is crucial. The carboniferous geological formations in this region present promising prospects for CO 2 storage, emphasizing the permanence of sequestration and the potential for enhancing oil recovery and economic diversification. This review systematically examines the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) life cycle, including CO 2 emissions, CCUS technologies, research and development (R&D) trends, and policy frameworks in the MENA region. Furthermore, it discusses the main challenges in implementing CCUS projects in a larger scale in this region. The modularized approach of this analysis is motivated by the absence of a comprehensive review for this region.

Nevertheless, to our knowledge, women's covert contraceptive use and its association with husband's gender attitude have not been studied in the Indian settings. The present study estimates the extent of covert modern contraceptive use (CCU) among women and its linkage with husbands' gender attitudes in India. METHODS: The study is based on fecund and monogamous couples using modern, reversible contraceptive methods. The numbers of such couples were 4,825 and 7,824 in the national family health surveys 2005-06 and 2015-16 respectively. The outcome variable in the study was CCU, while the independent variables were husband's gender attitude, women's education, freedom of mobility, freedom to spend money independently, surviving number of children, concordance regarding additional children, couple-level information such as age and educational gap between spouses, and some socioeconomic status (SES) variables. We used latent class analysis to measure the gender attitude and used bivariate descriptive analysis and multivariate binary logistic regression to assess the linkages between husband's gender attitude and CCU. RESULTS: This study found that the prevalence of CCU increased from 15% in 2005-06 to 27% in 2015-16. In both the time periods, contraceptive pills were the most preferred covert method, followed by intrauterine device (IUD). The results of the multivariate logistic regression show that women with husbands of moderate and low egalitarian gender attitudes were, respectively, 50% and 40% more likely to hide their contraceptive use than those with husbands of a high gender attitude. Women's education, wealth index, number of living children, and region of residence were also found to be significantly associated with CCU. CONCLUSION: The study reveals that husband's low egalitarian gender attitude can be a potential barrier between spouses, preventing them from opening up about their fertility preferences and contraceptive needs to each other. A couple-oriented approach to family planning is needed so that both members of a couple can satisfy their fertility desires and preferences eventually.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-022-12882-x","authors":["Minakshi Vishwakarma","Chander Shekhar"],"tags":["Medicine","Covert","Biostatistics","Demography","Socioeconomic status"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-03-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-022-12882-x","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W3108778654","name":"Apples and Apples: A Shortcut Assessment Framework for Early‐Stage Carbon Capture and Utilization Technologies Based on Efficiency, Feasibility, and Risk","source":"openalex","abstract":"Climate change is one of the largest current challenges to humankind, requiring a steep emissions reduction.

Shortcut TEA assessment approaches that reduce assessment detail and effort compared with conventional, full‐scope studies have gained popularity in recent years but have been criticized as comparing apples with oranges. Several open methodological questions remain such as how to implement global assessment standards, how to reduce subjective judgments, and how to compare technologies at different maturities. Herein, a shortcut assessment framework for early‐stage CCU technologies is proposed, based on the perspectives of efficiency, feasibility, and risk (Efferi). The Efferi framework implements the Global CO2Initiative's Guidelines, enables comparisons at different technology maturities, and systematically reduces subjective judgments. The Efferi framework provides a starting point for a more robust and easy assessment of early‐stage CCU technologies, leading to clearer go/no‐go recommendations at reduced assessment effort and enabling fairer, “apples to apples” comparisons.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ente.202000691","authors":["Arno Zimmermann","Georg A.

A lower proportion of t-CCUS had hypercellular marrows (17.8% vs 44.8%, P = .002) but had higher median bone marrow blast percentages. After a median follow-up of 2.2 years, t-CCUS had significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS, 1.8 vs 6.3 years; hazard ratio [HR], 2.1; P = .007) and median overall survival (OS; 3.6 years vs not reached; HR, 2.3; P = .007) compared with CCUS. Univariable and multivariable time-to-event analyses showed that exposure to cytotoxic therapy independently accounted for inferior PFS and OS. Despite the similarities in clinical presentation between CCUS and t-CCUS, we show that exposure to prior cytotoxic therapies was an independent risk factor for inferior outcomes. This suggests that t-CCUS represents a unique clinical entity that needs more stringent monitoring or earlier intervention strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1182/bloodadvances.2023012357","authors":["Marissa Li","Anmol Baranwal","Mark E.

Patients and Methods We conducted an analysis of data from a prospective cohort study of previously healthy infants 2–23 months presenting to our ED with first episode of wheeze and respiratory distress. Infants were divided into those with at least one MMI defined as oxygen administration for saturation of <90%, intravenous (IV) fluids of 20 ml/kg, apnea management, or critical care unit (CCU) admission (MMI group) versus those without (no‐MMI group). The primary outcome was the association between the MMI versus no‐MMI groups and potential risk factors for these outcomes. Results Of 312 study infants, 52 experienced MMI—all received oxygen for saturation <90%, four also received IV fluids and none required apnea management or CCU care. The following four risk factors were associated with MMI: baseline accessory muscle score ≥6/9 [OR 2.44, 95% CI 1.29; 4.62], oxygen saturation ≤92% [OR 2.41, 95% CI 0.96; 6.14], respiratory rate ≥60 [OR 1.85, 95% CI 0.97; 3.54], and poor fluid intake [OR 2.65, 95% CI 1.12; 6.26]. Of the 148 infants without predictors 11 (7.4%) received MMI, 145 required either no MMI or oxygen for ≤6 hr and 130 (87.8%) stayed for ≤12 hr. Conclusions Infants with bronchiolitis with high‐risk predictors should be hospitalized whereas those without can be considered for outpatient management due to low‐risk of MMI.

The clinical distinction between CCUS and lower-risk MDS (LR-MDS) is challenging because current criteria rely heavily on semi-quantitative morphologic thresholds, despite substantial clinical and molecular overlap. In this prospective study of 409 patients with CCUS and 241 with LR-MDS, we applied harmonized diagnostic and progression criteria, rigorous centralized pathology review, and uniform genomic profiling to compare clinical, molecular, and outcome data. Risk stratification was performed using two independent models-the Clonal Hematopoiesis Risk Score (CHRS) and the Clonal Cytopenia Risk Score (CCRS). Patients with high-risk CCUS, as defined by CHRS or CCRS, exhibited clinical features and event rates comparable to those with LR-MDS. In contrast, patients with low- or intermediate-risk CCUS had markedly improved outcomes, supporting conservative management. These findings underscore that CHRS and CCRS are clinically informative tools that extend beyond morphology-based classification and enable a risk-adapted approach to the management of CCUS. Importantly, a subset of patients with high-risk CCUS demonstrated substantial clinical and genomic convergence with LR-MDS, supporting their consideration for enrollment in prospective clinical trials designed for LR-MDS.

The proposed framework incorporates electrolytic hydrogen-production by-product oxygen, coordinated oxygen supply by VPSA/ASU units, natural gas–hydrogen co-firing, oxy-fuel combustion CCUS, and inter-park electricity–hydrogen–oxygen mutual support, thereby integrating high-altitude oxygen security and low-carbon system operation into a unified scheduling framework. To characterize the uncertainties of wind power, photovoltaic output, and multiple load types, Latin hypercube sampling and K-means clustering are employed to generate typical source–load scenarios, while the scenario-probability-weighted expected operating cost is adopted as the optimization objective. Case-study results show that the proposed model effectively improves renewable-energy accommodation, multi-energy complementarity, and low-carbon operational performance. Compared with the baseline scenario, the total operating cost and actual carbon emissions in the fully coordinated scenario are reduced by 16.07% and 35.11%, respectively. Meanwhile, the share of P2H by-product oxygen in the local multi-source oxygen supply structure of the three parks is approximately 38%–52%, with the daily share in IES3 reaching 52.19%, which reduces the burden on VPSA and ASU oxygen production and provides oxygen-source support for oxy-fuel combustion CCUS. The results demonstrate that explicit oxygen-energy-flow modeling can enhance oxygen-supply security in high-altitude parks while improving renewable-energy utilization and low-carbon scheduling performance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-10056358/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-10056358/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.210Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jcrc.2026.155651","name":"Facilitators and barriers to the implementation of critical care ultrasound (CCUS): an international survey.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Introduction Critical care ultrasound (CCUS) is an essential tool for managing critically ill patients at bedside, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing procedural risks. However, its global adoption remains inconsistent due to variability in training, certification, and organizational support. This study explores current CCUS use, training practices, and associated facilitators and barriers, aiming to identify opportunities for improving its implementation. Methods A worldwide online survey was conducted between June 2023 and June 2024. The survey was endorsed and distributed by several (inter)national critical care societies. Participation was fully anonymous and open to all healthcare professionals affiliated with a critical care department. The survey consisted of four sections: demographic data, CCUS practice, CCUS training, and possible facilitators and barriers to CCUS. Facilitators and barriers were assessed using an evidence-based framework: the Measurement Instrument for Determinants of Innovation (MIDI). Results A total of 277 participants (73.3% intensivists, 60.3% European) across 62 countries completed the survey. Most participants (93.5%) used CCUS, predominantly for lung, vascular and basic cardiac assessments (>95% for each). However, the majority lacked formal CCUS certification (73.6%). Facilitators included CCUS's perceived value in improving patient outcomes, including faster diagnosis or treatment. Key barriers included lack of adequate training, absence of formal certification, and limited organizational support. Conclusion Despite widespread recognition of CCUS's clinical benefits, significant barriers in training, certification, and organizational infrastructure hinder its full implementation. Addressing these challenges and engaging identified facilitators provides a strong foundation for promoting the introduction and integration of CCUS into routine clinical practice.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcrc.2026.155651","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.jcrc.2026.155651","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.inorgchem.6c02606","name":"Hydride-Bridged Heteronuclear Complexes for Hydrogen Evolution: Electrocatalytic and Theoretical Studies.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"To investigate metal effects on electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution, a series of selenolate-bridged heterobimetallic hydride complexes were synthesized.

Results A total of 67 patients were included (mean age 75.7 ± 10.5 years; 58.2% male). Most patients had myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) (79.1%), followed by clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) and idiopathic cytopenia of undetermined significance (ICUS) (14.9%).

Design Qualitative study utilising reflexive thematic analysis. Methods Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted with 37 clinicians working in CCUs in Australia and the United Kingdom. The Australian sample comprised nurses, allied health professionals and medical staff; the UK sample comprised nurses only. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis within each dataset, followed by cross-site interpretive integration. Results Four interrelated themes were generated: (1) anticipatory nursing work initiated at admission and sustained through ongoing assessment and coordination; (2) discharge readiness as a collective accomplishment co-constructed through interprofessional negotiation; (3) documentation as an organisational mechanism that shaped how discharge work was prioritised and enacted; and (4) discharge work enacted within, not separately from, the system and organisational conditions that constrained it. Across both settings, nurses held the coordinative work together, although its expression varied with local organisational scaffolding. Conclusion Discharge readiness in coronary care is better understood as continuous, anticipatory work than as an endpoint. The findings make visible the distributed and often invisible labour through which discharge readiness is produced and the organisational conditions that support or constrain it. The paper contributes to nursing scholarship on the invisible work of coordination in nursing and offers a conceptual model and practice-informed checklist to support anticipatory discharge work. Implications for the profession and/or patient care Impact What problem did the study address? Hospital discharge from coronary care units (CCUs) is commonly framed as a discrete clinical or administrative endpoint. This event-based conceptualisation obscures the ongoing nursing and interprofessional work undertaken across the admission to sustain discharge readiness. It is therefore important to examine how professional roles, organisational systems and service context shape discharge across two national settings. What were the main findings? Reconceptualises discharge readiness in coronary care as continuous, anticipatory nursing work, co-constructed across the admission rather than confirmed at its end. Draws on a health psychology lens to theorise the cognitive and emotional demands of anticipatory discharge work on individual clinicians. Presents an empirically grounded conceptual model and a practice-informed clinician checklist derived directly from the findings. Where and on whom will the research have an impact? This study uses nurses’ voices to offer insights for a holistic understanding of their professional roles, organisational systems in the discharge context. This study offers knowledge relevant to multidisciplinary input and support coordinated and safe discharge planning. Understanding discharge context as continuous anticipatory work than as an endpoint is essential to reinforces the role of the established allied health and community nursing infrastructure. Nurses are pivotal in this process, making enhanced understanding crucial for improving high-quality discharge planning, and opportunities to improve transitional care.

The resulting positively charged polymeric framework with shape-persistent nanochannels enabled the uniform assembly of SnS 2 units through ionic interactions mediated by amino and sulfhydryl groups. The hybrid porous photopolymer (SnS 2 @Py-POP) converts CO 2 into ethylene with a rate of 34.7 μmol g -1 h -1 with a selectivity of ethylene around 78.7% under visible light photoirradiation, which outperforms all the C 2 selective Sn-based photocatalysts. Our findings principally sheds light on the mechanism of selectivity reversal (from C 1 to C 2 product) by hybrid catalyst framework engineering. In-depth investigations by synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and morphological analysis via high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) reveal the nature of interaction for hybrid heterostructure formation within the porous network. Electron transfer pathways were mapped using time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) and transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS), which revealed a Z-scheme electron transfer mechanism. This mechanism facilitates enhanced electron accumulation on the SnS 2 layer, promoting efficient CO 2 activation and subsequent C-C coupling, ultimately leading to ethylene formation. Furthermore, the ethylene formation mechanism has been investigated in detail by time-resolved diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (TR-DRIFTS), corroborated with density functional theory (DFT).

CHIP predominantly affects older adults and is associated with increased risks of hematologic malignancy, cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality. However, data on the prevalence, mutational spectrum, and clinical implications of CHIP in Asian patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) undergoing chronic hemodialysis remain limited. Moreover, whether specific CHIP-associated genes confer distinct clinical characteristics or prognostic implications in this population remains unclear. In this prospective study, peripheral blood samples were obtained for whole-exome sequencing to identify CHIP-associated mutations. Clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) was defined as the presence of CHIP in patients with persistent cytopenia without an identifiable cause. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, while secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events and malignancy. Results 61 patients with ESKD undergoing chronic hemodialysis were included and followed for a mean of 2.1 years. CHIP-associated mutations were detected in 50 patients (81.9%), who were classified as CHIP only (n = 8) or CCUS (n = 42), while 11 patients had no CHIP or CCUS. According to the Clonal Hematopoiesis Risk Score, patients with CHIP or CCUS were further stratified into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups. BCORL1 was the most frequently mutated gene (24.7%), followed by GNAS, BCOR, DNMT3A, ASXL1, and ATM, and remained predominant across all risk categories. BCORL1 mutations were more prevalent than DNMT3A mutations, particularly in CCUS. Unlike DNMT3A, which showed a clear age-dependent increase, BCORL1 mutations peaked between 50 and 70 years of age. At baseline, patients with BCORL1 mutations had a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease and lower serum albumin levels. However, overall mortality and other clinical outcomes did not differ significantly during follow-up. Conclusions CHIP in Asian patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis shows a high prevalence and a distinct mutation spectrum dominated by BCORL1. These findings suggest disease- and ancestry-specific selective pressures beyond aging and support gene-specific risk stratification and closer hematologic surveillance. Further multi-ethnic studies are needed to define the cardiovascular and hematologic implications of BCORL1-associated CHIP.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40246-026-00944-9","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s40246-026-00944-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/hem3.70428","name":"Inflammatory signatures in the spectrum of myeloid diseases.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Dysregulated innate immunity contributes to clonal cytopenias and myeloid neoplasms, but its extent across disease stages and clinical relevance remain incompletely defined.

Focusing on a single qualitative case study interview conducted in Greece, the paper illustrates how long-term engagement with a local community can shape attitudes toward CCUS. The findings add depth to existing literature on CCUS social acceptance and participatory governance by highlighting the relevance of early community engagement, sociopolitical context, and the role of social capital and access to resources, rather than offering generalizable conclusions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.12688/openreseurope.21170.2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.12688/openreseurope.21170.2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.210Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3324/haematol.2025.287422","name":"Clinical decisions in clonal hematopoiesis: a contemporary review for clinicians.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) has emerged as a critical mediator of age-associated diseases, with far-reaching implications for hematologic malignancies, cardiovascular diseases, cancer therapy, autoimmune disorders, and other health conditions.

Critical Care Ultrasound (CCUS) can provide essential, real-time bedside evaluation. However, the effectiveness of CCUS application can be influenced by factors such as the level of the medical institution, operator experience, and training resources. This study aims to investigate the correlation between CCUS application and prognostic decision-making in regional medical institutions in China. Methods An online questionnaire survey was conducted through Wenjuanxing (a Chinese survey platform) to gather information about the current application of CCUS. Results The survey included 1,014 participants from 212 institutions. The distribution of respondents included 42.52% from tertiary Grade A hospitals, 35.05% from tertiary Grade B hospitals, and 22.43% from secondary hospitals. The application rates of CCUS varied significantly among different diseases, with some conditions showing higher utilization than others. Higher-tier hospitals exhibited higher CCUS application rates and greater reductions in mortality rates compared to lower-tier hospitals. A strong positive correlation between CCUS use and mortality improvement was observed in tertiary Grade A hospitals, but this correlation was weaker in tertiary Grade B hospitals, particularly for shock and traumatic brain injury. Both longer duration of use and higher application rates were associated with greater mortality improvement and more frequent changes in diagnostic decisions. Common challenges included insufficient personnel, equipment shortages, and limited training. Over 90% of hospitals reported a need for CCUS training, with demand decreasing as user experience increased. Conclusion CCUS application is increasing and significantly improves outcomes for various diseases. The improvement in mortality rates correlates with both the application rate and the experience of the users. The application of CCUS varies across diseases, and issues related to misjudgment and ineffective information can be addressed through enhanced experience and training.

Contact lesions (CL) secondary to periodontal disease are particularly common. Dogs with CL may or may not have canine chronic ulcerative stomatitis (CCUS), yet clinicians are often faced with making treatment decisions without a clear diagnosis. Some may expect canine patients to be treated similarly to feline chronic gingivostomatitis patients, for whom partial- to full-mouth extractions remain the primary intervention. Because this assumption may lead to inappropriate care, clear recommendations for surgical management are needed for canine patients. This retrospective review (2012-2022) evaluated 42 dogs with lymphoplasmacytic stomatitis treated surgically at a dental specialty service. We hypothesized that only a minority of these patients require full-mouth exodontia. Patients were initially stratified as CL or CCUS based on lesion distribution and radiographic findings and reclassified based on treatment response. Clinical outcomes were categorized as complete, partial, or absent response to treatment(s), including COHAT, salvage exodontia, rescue medical management, chronic immunosuppression, and home oral hygiene. Associations between demographic and clinical variables with surgical and clinical endpoints were evaluated using descriptive statistics and chi-square analyses. Small breeds (median 5.4 kg) predominated and were significantly more likely to reach edentulism for any reason. Buccal lesions adjacent to maxillary canine and fourth premolar teeth were most common, but over 60% of cases had mucosal changes beyond the classic paradental lesions. Ultimately, 31% were confirmed as CL and 50% as CCUS. Only 24% underwent salvage exodontia, and 17% were rendered edentulous for mucosal disease management. Achieving edentulism was more common in CL cases (54%) compared to CCUS cases (33%). Most dogs (81%) achieved complete resolution, primarily through treatment of periodontal disease (62%). CL cases showed high response rates to periodontal therapy (83%), while a subset of CCUS patients underwent salvage exodontia (20%) or immunosuppression (5%). The majority of dogs with lymphoplasmacytic stomatitis, including many diagnosed as CCUS, respond to periodontal disease management without full-mouth extractions. These findings support a conservative, staged treatment approach and underscore the need for standardized diagnostic criteria in canine oral inflammatory disease.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2025.1681133","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.3389/fvets.2025.1681133","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1182/hematology.2025000724","name":"Molecular approach to cytopenia and bone marrow failure.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Cytopenias are common in the adult population, with increasing recognition of clonal hematopoiesis and inherited syndromes due to widespread molecular testing.

Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) can also be found during workup of incidental cytopenias, even in the absence of other syndromic associations. In clonal cytopenia of uncertain significance, the overall risk of progressing to a myeloid neoplasm can be affected by the type of mutation, number of mutations, and variant allele frequency.

However, concerns are emerging regarding long-term toxicities, including prolonged cytopenias and an increased risk of secondary hematologic malignancies. While T-cell lymphomas have been reported to occasionally develop from insertional mutagenesis of transcriptional regulators [ 1 , 2 ], the majority of secondary malignancies observed in clinical trials for MM are of myeloid origin, as shown by a 10.3% incidence of post-cytotoxic therapy myeloid neoplasms (MN-pCT) in the CARTITUDE-1 study [ 3 ]. The pathogenesis of MN-pCT is well understood and can be attributed to prior exposure to mutagenic agents such as high-dose melphalan or radiation, selective pressures including lenalidomide treatment [ 4 ], as well as to aging. However, it remains unclear if this process is additionally accelerated by the specific inflammation linked to CAR T-cell expansion within the hematopoietic niche [ 5 ]. Such dynamics may be detrimental especially in patients harboring pre-existing clonal hematopoiesis (CH) which is present in up to 21.6% of MM patients [ 6 ]. In this multi-center study, we investigated inflammation-driven progression to myeloid neoplasms post-CAR T-cell therapy (MN-pCAR) as a key complication of CAR T-cell therapy. From a total of 179 patients, we identified 12 patients (6.7%, median age 58 (range 53–79) years) with myeloid clonality after CAR-T (Fig. 1A, B ). All patients provided informed consent in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (Methods detailed in Extended Methods ) and all analyses were approved by the local ethics board (vote 8/21) at University of Würzburg. At a median follow-up of 17.7 months post-infusion, no treatment-related lymphoid neoplasms were observed, whereas myeloid disorders included five cases of AML, three MDS and four CCUS, defined by a leukemia-associated driver mutation (variant allele frequency (VAF) ≥ 2%) and cytopenia without high-grade dysplasia (Table 1 ) [ 7 ]. No clear associations were observed between the type of MN-pCAR and CAR-HEMATOTOX score or inflammatory markers, possibly due to limited sample size in this study (Suppl. Table 1 ). Affected patients had received extensive prior treatment, including lenalidomide (12/12, 100%), a median of 2 autologous stem-cell transplants (ASCT; range 1–3) with high-dose melphalan, and allogeneic transplantation in 2 of 12 cases. In the eight patients with MDS or AML, MN-pCAR developed unexpectedly early after CAR T-cell infusion (median latency 0.4 years, range 0.1–1.3) and was observed with both commercially available BCMA-directed products (ide-cel, n = 5; cilta-cel, n = 3), preceded by standard fludarabine/ cyclophosphamide lymphodepletion.

Full size table This short latency suggests that CAR T-cell therapy may directly promote myeloid acceleration, although it could also be confounded by the cumulative effects of extensive prior treatment in these late-stage patients. To address this, we analyzed a control cohort of non-CAR T-cell treated patients who developed MN-pCT after ASCT and lenalidomide maintenance ( n = 19; Suppl. Table 2 ). The median latency between ASCT and myeloid malignancy in this control subgroup was 3.4 (range 0.5–12.4) years as compared to 7.5 (range 4.3–11.4) years in CAR T-cell exposed patients. Consistently, a recent Mayo Clinic study reported only modest CH expansion after ASCT, supporting the hypothesis that CAR T-cell therapy may be needed as a second stimulus in the context of intensive pre-treatment to drive expansion of preselected CH clones in MM. In 8/12 cases of our cohort pre-CAR T-cell samples were available to investigate if MN-pCAR originated from pre-existing CH. Recurrently altered genes included DNMT3A ( n = 9), TP53 ( n = 6) and TET2 ( n = 4), with additional mutations in PPM1D ( n = 4), IDH1 ( n = 2), RUNX1 ( n = 1), BCOR ( n = 1) and ETV6 ( n = 1). TP53 alterations were strongly enriched in MDS and AML patients, with 6 out of 8 cases harboring TP53 single nucleotide variants. In 2 patients, a second (subclonal or co-dominant) TP53 mutation was detected. All patients carried a complex karyotype, including one case of AML with MECOM rearrangement as another strong driver event. A detailed synopsis of molecular characteristics is shown in Supplementary Table 3 . Whole-genome-sequencing data on bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) from Pat3, Pat5, Pat8, Pat11 and five respective control individuals showed presence of SBS99 (Fig. 1C ), a mutational signature previously linked to melphalan exposure [ 8 ]. This finding indicates that leukemic precursor clones were already present at ASCT and persisted beyond CAR T-cell therapy. To assess clonal dynamics in relation to CAR T-cell therapy, we tracked variant allele frequencies (VAFs) in longitudinal CD138-negative BMMC samples from 10 patients (2 not available) using informed targeted sequencing. This analysis confirmed expansion of pre-existing CH following CAR T-cell infusion. Notably, clonal trajectories followed a bimodal pattern: age-related CH mutations showed modest expansion with a transient flare post-CAR, followed by a decline upon hematopoietic recovery. For example, in Pat11 with PPM1D -mutated CCUS, the VAF peaked at 9.1% on day 184 after infusion of an academic anti-SLAMF7 CAR T-cell product and declined to 3.7% by day 323 post-infusion (Fig. 1D ). Clonal contraction coincided with a third autologous stem-cell transplant which was conducted in this patient at day 185 post-infusion and which resulted in full stabilization of blood counts (Fig. 1E ). The patient currently remains on long-term treatment with the anti-GPRC5D bispecific antibody talquetamab with ongoing complete remission for the past 2.4 years. While these findings remain anecdotal, they may support a model in which BM inflammation temporarily favors CH expansion, but as hematopoiesis recovers and inflammatory pressure subsides, the competitive advantage of clones diminishes, leading to clonal contraction. In contrast to PPM1D - and DNMT3A -mutated CH, our observations in CH involving TP53 alterations indicated rapid CH expansion and early onset of AML. In Pat1, who tested positive for a TP53 R273H and TP53 S215dup mutation, VAFs rose from 1.55% and 1.05% at day -104–34.9% and 28.9% at day +189, respectively (Fig. 1F ). Different from non- TP53 -mutant patients, blood counts in this patient gradually deteriorated (Fig. 1G ) and the patient eventually died at day +386 after ide-cel. A similar trajectory was observed in Pat2, Pat4, Pat5, Pat7, and Pat8 who also harbored TP53 -mutant t-CH (Suppl. Table 3 ). Our study aligns with a recent report by Avigan et al., which linked baseline inflammation and endothelial dysfunction to the risk of hematologic toxicity following anti-BCMA CAR T-cell therapy [ 9 ]. In a large dataset, the authors described that pre-existing TP53 -mutated CH clones may expand from a median VAF of 3.4% pre- to 44.0% post-CAR T-cell infusion. Our findings build on this seminal work, highlighting that the origins of MN-pCAR can be traced back to melphalan treatment. This suggests that melphalan and subsequent CAR T-cell therapy are both critical to the development of MN-pCAR. Whether CH contributes to long-term cytopenia beyond established predictors such as the CAR-HEMATOTOX score still remains unclear [ 10 ], and requires further validation in prospective trials, in particular since both the study by Avigan et al. and our work did not routinely perform baseline screening for CH in unselected patients before CAR T-cell infusion and the impact of CH, in particular TP53 , may be overestimated in both studies. In another critical analysis by Gustine et al., CH was linked to prolonged cytopenia after CAR T-cell therapy, irrespective of the CAR T-cell product used, and 2/57 CH-positive MM patients developed MDS or AML at a median follow-up of 12 months after infusion [ 11 ]. Potential mitigation strategies for clinical management may include maintenance therapy with more selective cereblon modulators, such as pomalidomide and iberdomide, which exert less selective pressure on TP53 -mutant CH by sparing CK1α degradation [ 4 ]. Moving CAR T-cell therapy to earlier treatment lines depicts another strategy to decrease the rate of MN-pCAR. Prevalence of CH increases by ~4-fold from newly diagnosed (5.8%) to RRMM stage (25%) [ 12 ], and this is being supported by substantially lower MN-pCAR rates of only 3/208 (1.4%) cases in the CARTITUDE-4 trial with less heavily pre-treated MM patients [ 13 ]. Melphalan remains a critical driver of clonal aging of hematopoietic stem cells [ 14 ], given that melphalan-induced selection of TP53 variants enables acquisition of additional genomic instability [ 15 ], as proposed by the high coincidence of TP53 alterations and karyotypic abnormalities in our study. Consequently, repositioning of CAR T-cells ahead of ASCT, as currently investigated by the phase-3 CARTITUDE-6 trial for newly diagnosed MM patients, seems ultimately warranted to minimize the risk of MN-pCAR, particularly in known carriers of TP53 -mutant CH.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41375-026-02941-2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41375-026-02941-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/jacs.5c15288","name":"Photocatalytic Strain-Release Transformation of Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCB) Using Strategically Tuned Covalent Organic Frameworks.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"We designed and synthesized crystalline, porous, covalent organic framework (COF) photocatalysts featuring highly stabilized valence band edges to promote facile charge transport, active site accessibility, and delayed electron-hole recombination.

Here, we report a novel strategy to incorporate fluorine (F) into Cu 2 O nanospheres using hydrofluoric acid (HF). While halogen acids have traditionally been employed to etch metals and create cavities for confinement effects, this work goes a step further by inserting F ions into the lattice. Among all halogens, F provided the best lattice stability and was thus selected for catalyst testing. F incorporation was found to stabilize the Cu (δ+) oxidation state, achieving an impressive Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 91.9 ± 2.03% for C 2+ products, predominantly ethylene (67%), at a current density of 250 mA cm -2 .

MDROs are microorganisms, most commonly bacteria, that exhibit resistance to one or more classes of antimicrobial agents. The burden of multidrug-resistant infections has increased worldwide, with marked rises in both healthcare-associated and community-acquired infections, particularly in regions with high levels of antibiotic misuse. This study aimed to characterize the spectrum of MDROs circulating in a tertiary care center, identify associated risk factors, and describe their antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Methods A prospective observational study was conducted over a period of one month, involving 1,223 clinical specimens from predefined areas. Specimens were processed for culture, identification, and antibiotic susceptibility testing. For all samples, patient demographic details, clinical information, and risk factors were documented and assessed. Infection prevention and control-related information was also documented. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 22.0 (released 2013; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA), with the incorporation of the chi-square test for comparison between categorical variables, and a p-value of Escherichia coli was the most common MDRO, with 73 (30.4%) isolates, followed by 37 (15.4%) isolates of Klebsiella spp., 29 (12.1%) isolates of Pseudomonas spp., and 19 (7.9%) isolates of Acinetobacter spp. The majority of MDROs were isolated from general wards, with 112 (46.7%) MDROs rather than 47 (19.6%) MDROs from the critical care unit. Conclusions This study highlights the significant burden of MDROs in a tertiary care center, with a high proportion of resistance to last-line agents. The findings emphasize the need for regular surveillance, strict adherence to infection control practices, and effective antimicrobial stewardship programs to mitigate the growing MDRO burden. Future recommendations include establishing robust antimicrobial stewardship programs, conducting periodic hospital-specific antibiogram reviews, and promoting research on emerging resistance mechanisms.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.107448","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.7759/cureus.107448","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2026.150903","name":"CO₂-triggered self-healing gel based on semi-interpenetrating networks: Innovative mechanism and remarkable repair effect.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"In the context of CCUS-EOR technology applications, the issue of microcrack propagation caused by high-concentration CO₂ corrosion of cement rings is particularly prominent.

The gel was synthesized via aqueous solution polymerization and utilized Ca 2+ coordination with sodium alginate to construct a semi-interpenetrating network structure. Experiments indicate that Ca-AGH exhibits a pyrolysis temperature of approximately 200 °C, with a honeycomb-like surface structure that demonstrates high water absorption and retention capacity.

Methods A retrospective study was conducted at the Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics and the Pediatric Clinic, Clinical Center University of Sarajevo (CCUS), from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. A total of 2,067 participants were included in the study. Descriptive statistical methods were used. The analyzed perinatal outcomes included method of conception, type of delivery, birth weight of newborns, Apgar score at 1 minute, need for NICU hospitalization, and development of disease or other complications related to maternal health. Results The majority of the participants, 60.9% (n = 1,259), had a normal BMI, 27.1% (n = 559) were overweight, 9.1% (n = 189) were obese, and 2.9% (n = 60) were underweight. The average GWG was 15.1 kg; 46.0% (n = 952) of the subjects had excessive GWG, 37.4% (n = 772) had GWG within the recommended range, and 16.6% (n = 343) had low GWG.

However, well injectivity in gas hydrate reservoirs is normally extremely low due to the slow heat transfer rate in the swapping process. The objective of this study was to provide a prior assessment of using CO 2 as a fracturing fluid to create highly connective fracture networks in gas hydrate reservoirs for enhancing well-injectivity. A new analytical model for sequential initiation and simultaneous propagation of hydraulic fractures was developed in this study to identify the factors affecting the population of hydraulic fractures.

Simulation result indicates that the number and lengths of hydraulic fractures depend on CO 2 injection rate and CO 2 properties. High rate of CO 2 injection will promote generation of more short fractures. High-viscosity and dilatancy of CO 2 stream will increase the number of short hydraulic fractures.

Here, we present a kinetic modulation strategy based on the in situ slow release of hydrazine via the trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)-mediated hydrolysis of a tetrazine precursor during the COF synthesis. Using this approach, we successfully synthesized two crystalline azine-linked COFs incorporating either a nonplanar bicarbazole or a planar pyrene core.

Time-resolved UV-vis and PXRD analyses elucidate the role of reaction kinetics in framework evolution. Notably, the resulting COFs exhibit S-shaped water vapor adsorption isotherms with minimal uptake below 40% relative humidity (RH), reflecting their hydrophobic backbones. More importantly, CO 2 uptake remains largely unaffected at 40% RH, and dynamic breakthrough experiments confirm that H 2 O does not interfere with CO 2 adsorption under these conditions.

This case underscores the importance of early, risk-adapted assessment in such scenarios. A 69-year-old woman presented with isolated mild neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 1,188/µL) and easy bruising. With no other cytopenias or symptoms, bone marrow biopsy was deferred. Six months later, she developed abdominal discomfort, anorexia, and massive splenomegaly. Laboratory tests revealed leukocytosis with left shift, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and nucleated red cells. Bone marrow biopsy showed > 40% myeloblasts, trilineage dysplasia, and mild fibrosis. JAK2 mutation and BCR-ABL were negative. Cytogenetics demonstrated i(17q) and del(20q); Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed TP53 deletion in 81.91% of nuclei, establishing AML-MRC with high-risk features.

It exposes the hidden risk of clinical inertia, where the absence of other overt cytopenias or symptoms may lead to missed opportunities for early diagnosis of high-risk clonal evolution. In resource-limited setting, this case underscores urgent need for heightened clinical vigilance.

The catalysts were synthesized by wet impregnation with varying silicomolybdic acid content (0-40 wt.%) and characterized using multiple techniques. Optimization of the reaction conditions, including calcination temperature, catalyst loading, stirring speed, reaction time, and temperature, led to the identification of the 30 wt.% silicomolybdic acid-supported V 2 O 5 (SMA/V 2 O 5 30-4) as the most effective catalyst, achieving butyric acid conversion up to 95% and butyl butyrate yield 92%.

Design A cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study. Setting ICUs, CCUs and ERs of six public teaching hospitals affiliated with Tehran and Kashan Universities of Medical Sciences in Iran. Participants Using a multistage stratified random sampling method, 285 nurses were approached, of whom 260 completed and returned the questionnaires (response rate: 91%). Participants were registered nurses with at least a bachelor's degree or higher and 3 months of experience in ICUs, CCUs or ERs. Primary and secondary outcome measures The primary outcome was the level of alarm fatigue measured using the validated Nurses' Alarm Fatigue Questionnaire. Secondary outcomes included factors associated with alarm fatigue and nurses' reported psychological responses to frequent alarms. Results The mean score of alarm fatigue was 26.4±7.9, indicating a moderate level. After adjusting for confounders and hospital-level clustering using multivariable mixed-effects regression, higher monthly income was significantly associated with lower alarm fatigue (β=-0.15, p=0.03), and nurses working rotational shifts reported significantly higher fatigue compared with those with fixed shifts (β=0.18, p=0.02). Other demographic and occupational factors were not significant. Reported psychological reactions to alarms included indifference (14%), irritability (18%) and anxiety/stress (15%). Conclusions ICU, CCU and ER nurses experience a moderate level of alarm fatigue, with income and shift type as independent associated factors. The association between income and alarm fatigue may reflect the role of financial stress as an additional job demand that compounds the burden of frequent alarms, particularly in contexts where low base salaries lead nurses to rely on overtime and multiple shifts. These findings underscore the need for targeted managerial and educational interventions, including shift schedule optimisation and attention to workload-related stressors, alongside alarm prioritisation strategies.

This study proposes a deep learning surrogate framework for one-step-ahead prediction of layer-wise CO 2 injection profiles. A large-scale dataset was generated using the ECLIPSE compositional simulator under multiple geological and operational scenarios and converted into supervised time-series samples. The proposed framework integrates Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM), a self-attention mechanism, and Feature-wise Linear Modulation (FiLM). Bi-LSTM extracts temporal dependencies from historical injection-rate sequences, attention adaptively weights influential historical time steps, and FiLM incorporates static geological attributes by modulating learned temporal representations. Quantitative evaluations over five independent runs demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms conventional LSTM-based baselines, with an MAE of 14.28 ± 0.41 m 3 /d and an R 2 of 0.9915 ± 0.0024. Ablation studies further verify the complementary predictive contributions of all three core modules.

In 2024, the Blood Profiling Atlas in Cancer (BLOODPAC) Consortium, a collaborative infrastructure for developing standards and best practices for liquid biopsy assays, established the CH/clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) Working Group to address the need for accurate identification and removal of CH from liquid biopsy results. As a first step to support the interpretability of CH/CHIP results, the Working Group developed this lexicon to standardize terms and provide a unified vocabulary related to CH and liquid biopsy, DNA sequencing tests, biomarkers, and clinical use cases, facilitating communication within the field. BLOODPAC's CH/CHIP Working Group believes that terminology agreement across these various stakeholders can improve communication in the field and unify future data collection efforts across studies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/cts.70463","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1111/cts.70463","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2025.23733","name":"Cancer Labeling, Risk Perception, and Treatment Choices in Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"This survey study investigates whether diagnostic labels and linguistic framing are associated with risk perceptions and treatment decisions for patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2025.23733","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2025.23733","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.langmuir.5c04362","name":"Mechanism Insights into the Miscibility Behavior of CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;/N&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;-Multicomponent Hydrocarbon-Surfactant Systems under Reservoir Conditions.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The high miscibility of oil with CO 2 significantly enhances its mobility and thus improves oil recovery efficiency during CO 2 flooding. Many factors have strong influence on miscibility, including the chain length of oil, the component of injected gas, reservoir conditions, etc. Despite their critical role, the mechanisms underlying these influences remain poorly understood due to challenges in analyzing pore-scale mixing dynamics. Therefore, the molecular dynamics method was employed, and mixed gas-surfactant-mixed oil models were established to investigate the influence of different factors on the miscibility behavior during the multicomponent gas flooding process. Nonionic CO 2 friendly polyoxypropylene alkyl ether (POP) was chosen as a surfactant, and its influence on interfacial tension was also explored. The research results indicate a strong hindering effect of long-chain alkanes toward CO 2 -oil miscibility. When its content is reduced to less than 30%, the hindering effect started to diminish. As for the gas component, less than 15% N 2 is beneficial for the movement of CO 2 and accelerates the miscibility process. In addition, as the chain length of POP increases, its ability to improve the miscibility of CO 2 and oil first increases and then decreases. The results also indicate that an optimized structure of POP with 8 PO groups has the highest ability to assist the CO 2 -oil mixing process. Compared to the system without POP, the IFT can be reduced by approximately 46.78%. The simulation results can provide useful guidance for enhancing oil recovery in deep, low-permeability, and tight reservoirs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.5c04362","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1021/acs.langmuir.5c04362","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3324/haematol.2023.283896","name":"CHIP ahoy: charting a decade of discovery in clonal hematopoiesis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) involves the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells with age-acquired mutations linked to myeloid malignancy.

Results All patients presented with anemia and lymphopenia, with or without neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. Diagnoses included CCUS, MDS, MGUS, as well as novel phenotypes of primary myelofibrosis and a hemolysis-like disorder. Most patients (11/16, 69%) exhibited constitutional symptoms and typical autoinflammation-associated multiorgan involvement, including skin lesions, ear chondritis, pulmonary infiltration, and deep vein thrombosis, etc. Hypercellular bone marrow was commonly seen in core biopsies and 11 patients (68.8%) exhibited typical vacuoles in myeloid and erythroid progenitors.

However, strong geological heterogeneity and complex injection regimes introduce substantial nonlinearity and temporal dependence, which limit the effectiveness of conventional numerical simulation and traditional machine learning approaches. This study presents a deep learning framework that integrates Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM), attention, and Feature-wise Linear Modulation (FiLM) for predicting the dynamic evolution of CO 2 injectivity profiles. A large-scale, physically consistent dataset was constructed using a three-dimensional compositional reservoir simulator (ECLIPSE) under multiple injection scenarios. The proposed model jointly learns temporal dependencies from historical injection dynamics while incorporating static geological properties through FiLM-based feature modulation. Within this framework, layer-specific injectivity is treated as an implicit dynamic state that evolves over time, enabling unified modeling of geological constraints and injection dynamics. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly outperforms conventional LSTM-based models. On the testing dataset, the model achieves a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 13.77 and a coefficient of determination = 0.9933. Ablation studies further reveal that the integration of Bi-LSTM, attention, and the FiLM module substantially enhances the model’s ability to capture transient injectivity responses under non-stationary injection conditions. In addition, the predicted injectivity profiles show strong consistency with the spatial gas distribution obtained from numerical simulation. Overall, the proposed method provides an efficient data-driven solution for dynamic injectivity profile prediction and offers a new perspective for representing reservoir flow behavior through implicit dynamic state modeling.

Emphasis is placed on the ion channel toolkit that implements CCU computations, with discussion of how different conductances shape membrane voltage to encode local energetic demand and propagate signals over long distances. Kir2.1 channels emerge as a keystone conductor and regenerative carrier of hyperpolarizing signals; K ATP channels couple energy status and adenosine levels/glucose availability with electrical output; small- and intermediate-conductance Ca 2+ -activated K + channels in the arteriole-capillary transition zone provide amplification; transient receptor potential and Piezo1 channels impose depolarizing and mechanosensory feedback constraints; and chloride channels (notably TMEM16A) act as voltage tethers that clamp or reset local membrane potential. Framing these elements computationally suggests that addition and subtraction, gain control, shunting, and veto-like logic may arise naturally from network architecture and channel biophysics.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpcell.00065.2026","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1152/ajpcell.00065.2026","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10555-026-10322-5","name":"Measurable residual disease testing in acute myeloid leukemia: current state, foundational models, and tools for future development.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a lethal and rapidly progressive hematologic malignancy with high rates of relapse and treatment refractoriness. Management of AML is complicated by biological heterogeneity in a disease that is broadly defined by the clonal expansion of myeloblasts that otherwise play an important role in healthy marrow tissues. While subtypes of AML are increasingly defined by druggable driver mutations including FLT3-ITD, IDH1, IDH2, and NPM1, conventional chemotherapy and reduced intensity induction regimens (e.g., azacitidine-venetoclax) remain therapeutic backbones. One area of active development for personalization of AML treatment is the assessment of measurable residual disease (MRD). MRD testing in AML is complicated by uncertainty regarding the physiologic compartment of persistent and relapsing myeloblasts, and by increasing recognition of myeloid driver mutations in some healthy bone marrow states, such as clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP). Even in large academic centers, MRD tools are not yet universally available. Standardized workflows for MRD implementation are only beginning to enter consensus and guideline documents. Current understanding of AML biology and state-of-the-art tools for MRD measurement are reviewed here in an effort to promote clinical and laboratory investigator collaboration for the development of reliable tools for improving outcomes in this deadly disease.

This paper therefore provides a first critical review of options to supply construction materials in the UK with realistic expectations about the availability of carbon storage, zero-emissions electricity and zero-emissions transport. The paper focuses on nine key construction materials-concrete, steel, aluminium, structural glass, timber, earth, stone, lime and straw. We conclude that the zero-emissions resource pool includes virgin bio-based materials, limited by the availability of productive land, virgin earth and stone, limited by local geology and transportation, recycled materials, limited by the availability of scrap and emission-free electricity, and reused components, limited by availability and refurbishment potential. This points to the need for a revision to the national construction strategy and a range of entrepreneurial opportunities in delivering the services of construction within a reduced material budget.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44150-025-00171-1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1007/s44150-025-00171-1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-025-31860-y","name":"Interannual variability of net primary productivity in the northwest African coastal upwelling system and their relation to Dakar Niños.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The Canary Current upwelling system, located along the northwest African coast between approximately 10ºN and 35ºN, is among the most productive marine ecosystems globally, supporting a rich marine biodiversity.

In this study, we analyze the physical mechanisms driving the interannual variability of NPP from 2003 to 2023, using a combination of satellite observations, reanalysis data, and ocean model outputs. Our results indicate that the interannual NPP variability is closely linked to changes in sea surface temperature, with the most pronounced effects occurring during March-April-May, i.e., the main upwelling season. A total of six undocumented extreme coastal low NPP events are identified, nearly all of which are associated with Dakar Niños. These low NPP events are linked to both local and remote forcing. The local forcing is associated with fluctuations of alongshore winds and near-coastal wind stress curl. The remote forcing involves the propagations of coastal trapped waves emanating from the equator and the northern Gulf of Guinea.

The early identification of deterioration, rapid therapeutic escalation, and close monitoring of cardiac function are hallmarks of CCU care. However, the complexity and severity of illness in this population are compounded by a high risk of infections, including hospital-acquired pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and device-related infections. These infections not only increase morbidity and prolong hospitalization but also significantly impact mortality and healthcare costs. The immunocompromised state of many heart failure patients-due to poor perfusion, malnutrition, and the use of invasive devices-further elevates their vulnerability.

To investigate the mechanisms underlying these toxicities we studied a cohort of lymphoma patients receiving CAR19. CAR19-treated patients exhibited impaired immune reconstitution and increased infection compared to propensity-matched HCT-treated controls.

10 however, the majority of CHIP is myeloid, and the relationship between CHIP and NHL remains to be elucidated.Thus, we conducted a large-scale community-based cohort study using data from the UK Biobank and investigated whether CHIP is a risk factor for NHL.CHIP was ascertained by analyzing whole-exome sequencing (WES) data.We used the Cox regression model to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of NHL associated with CHIP.The detailed methods can be seen in the supplementary information, Figure S1, and Table S1.Among the 437,219 participants from the UK Biobank, we identified 13,068 individuals with CHIP and 424,151 without CHIP.The demographic and clinical characteristics of the cohort are summarized in Table S2.Individuals with CHIP were older, with a median age of 62 years, compared to those without CHIP, who had a median age of 57 years.Furthermore, participants with CHIP were more inclined to be male, of White ethnicity, overweight, and have a history of smoking (either previously or currently) compared to those without CHIP.The median follow-up was 12.6 years for individuals without CHIP and 12.8 years for those with CHIP.Among individuals with CHIP, there were 150 incident cases of any NHL (incidence rate [IR], 93.22 per 100,000 person-years), while 2653 cases (IR, 48.35 per 100,000 person-years) were identified among individuals without CHIP (i.e., reference).Individuals with CHIP had a higher risk of any NHL than those in the non-CHIP group (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.30-1.78)(Table 1).In the analysis by subtypes of NHL (Table 1), we found heightened risks in relation to CHIP for most studied NHL subtypes, especially for CLL/SLL (HR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.21-2.21),FL (HR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.06-2.51),and mature T/NK-cell lymphomas (HR: 2.79, 95% CI: 1.57-4.96).Focusing on the specific CHIP gene mutations, we revealed that CHIP individuals with different mutations also show general increased risks for NHL.CHIP harboring TET2 mutations (HR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.30-2.40)or other mutations (HR: 2.37, 95% CI: 1.73-3.24)significantly enhanced the risk of NHL.Additionally, CHIP with mutations in DNMT3A (HR: 1.22, 95% CI: 0.95-1.58)was also suggested as an individual risk factor for NHL, although no statistical significance was found.We analyzed the variant allele fractions (VAFs) of the mutant genes and observed that the VAFs are different among the mutant genes (Table S3).Furthermore, our analysis stratified by the VAF of CHIP revealed elevated risks for NHL in both CHIP cases with a VAF of ≥0.1 (HR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.27-1.88)and those with a VAF of <0.1 (HR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.02-1.88)(Figure 1).We detected potential modifiers of the associations between CHIP and NHL, through subgroup analyses stratified by sex (female or male), age (less than 60 years or 60 years and older), ethnicity (white, other, or unknown), Townsend deprivation index quartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4), educational attainment (college or university degree, others, or unknown), BMI categories (less than HemaSphere.2025;9:e70187.hemaspherejournal.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/hem3.70187","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1002/hem3.70187","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/hsr2.71924","name":"The Role of Illness Perception, Hope, and Perceived Social Support in the Prediction of Loneliness in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Background and aims Loneliness is a well-known factor associated with increased mortality risk in cardiovascular patients, and hospitalization in Coronary Care Units (CCU) can exacerbate feelings of loneliness.

The prevalence of CH increases with age and is linked to a higher risk of hematologic malignancies and various non-malignant diseases, particularly atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. CH is not merely a biomarker; it actively contributes to the pathogenesis of these age-related conditions. Therefore, targeting the expansion of mutant clones and their downstream effects offers an opportunity to prevent these adverse health outcomes. CH involves mutation-specific biological changes that sustain the abnormal HSC phenotype, including epigenetic dysregulation, aberrant inflammatory signaling, metabolic reprogramming, and altered intracellular signaling pathways. A deeper understanding of these processes has led to the development of targeted therapeutic approaches. This review addresses the practical challenges of implementing interventions against CH, focusing on balancing risk and benefit and selecting appropriate patients. It discusses emerging treatments targeting the pathogenic mechanisms in CH, such as epigenetic modulators, anti-inflammatory therapies, metabolic inhibitors, and signaling pathway inhibitors. We also highlight potential novel therapeutic strategies on the horizon, such as immune-based approaches for selective clonal elimination and gene-editing therapies to correct causative mutations. These advances reframe CH as a potentially modifiable condition rather than an inevitable consequence of aging, creating opportunities for early intervention before progression to overt disease.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3324/haematol.2025.287443","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3324/haematol.2025.287443","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4103/ijnmr.ijnmr_142_23","name":"Nursing Managers' Coronary Care Unit Management Experience.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Background The Coronary Care Unit (CCU) requires effective managers to consider- the patient's acute condition.

One prior study suggests cytopenia or cytosis is a required intermediate step in disease progression from CHIP to MN. Methods We analyzed genomic sequencing data from the NIH All of Us Research Program, Vanderbilt's BioVU repository, and UK Biobank participants (N = 805,249). The study period ranged from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2023. Genetic mutations, demographic data, laboratory values, and MN outcomes were used to create a case-control study to estimate the risk of incident cytopenia and MN among cases with CHIP and matched controls without CHIP. Findings After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, the study cohort contained 9374 cases with CHIP and 24,749 matched controls without CHIP. Among the 34,123 participants, 190 (0.56%) developed incident cases of MN and 4151 (12.1%) developed an incident cytopenia. Individuals with CHIP at enrollment who subsequently developed a cytopenia progressed to MN at a rate of 0.5% per year, compared to 0.05% per year for those with CHIP and normal cell counts. Longitudinal analysis across three cohorts demonstrated an increased risk of cytopenia in CHIP patients and identified those at the highest risk of progression. Cytopenia risk factors included smoking (HR = 1.17, 95% CI: [1.05-1.32], P = 5.87 × 10 -3 ), male sex (HR = 1.45, 95% CI: [1.30-1.62], P = 2.17 × 10 -11 ), variant allele frequency ≥0.20 (HR = 1.36, 95% CI: [1.21-1.54], P = 7.56 × 10 -7 ), age ≥65 (HR = 1.41, 95% CI: [1.25-1.57], P = 3.98 × 10 -9 ), mean corpuscular volume ≥100 fL (HR = 2.12, 95% CI: [1.68-2.68], P = 2.58 × 10 -10 ), red cell distribution width ≥15% (HR = 2.59, 95% CI: [2.26-2.98], P = 1.14 × 10 -40 ), mutations in high-risk CHIP genes (HR = 1.48, 95% CI: [1.26-1.75], P = 2.39 × 10 -6 ), and ≥2 CHIP mutations (HR = 1.95, 95% CI: [1.61-2.36], P = 9.73 × 10 -12 ). Interpretation Longitudinal analysis across three large cohorts found that it is rare for patients with CHIP to develop MN without first developing cytopenia. The risk for MN among patients with CHIP resides almost entirely among those with cytopenia.

The available evidence suggests that somatic mutation analysis may effectively complement the diagnostic workup and clinical management of unexplained cytopenia. Indeed, the presence or absence of somatic mutation(s) in myeloid genes shows high positive and negative predictive values for myeloid neoplasms (MNs). Mutation analysis is also crucial for identifying patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS), a condition at increased risk of developing a MN. Recently, clinical/molecular prognostic models have been developed, providing valuable tools for the personalization of clinical and molecular surveillance. Most patients with CCUS show mild cytopenia and do not require therapeutic intervention. Currently, there is no treatment approved for CCUS, and transfusion therapy is the sole therapeutic option for patients with severe symptomatic cytopenia.

Results The Adult CCUS Focused Update Guidelines panel aimed to understand the current impact of CCUS on patient important outcomes as they related to five PICO questions in critically ill adults. A rigorous systematic review of evidence to date informed the panel's recommendations. In adult patients with septic shock, acute dyspnea/respiratory failure, or cardiogenic shock, we suggest using CCUS to guide management. Given evidence supporting an improvement in mortality, we suggest the use of CCUS for targeted volume management as opposed to usual care without CCUS. Last, there was insufficient data to determine if CCUS should be used over standard care without CCUS in the management of patients with cardiac arrest. Conclusions The guidelines panel achieved strong agreement regarding the recommendations for CCUS to improve patient outcomes. These recommendations are intended for consideration along with the patient's existing clinical status.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/ccm.0000000000006530","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1097/ccm.0000000000006530","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acsomega.5c12379","name":"Multi-Pattern Generalization in CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;‑EOR: Physically Consistent Surrogate for Saturation-Field Evolution.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Accurate and efficient forecasting of CO 2 saturation-field evolution is essential for screening injection-production strategies in CO 2 -EOR/CCUS, yet conventional simulators are too expensive for rapid multiscenario evaluation and many data-driven models generalize poorly across well-pattern topologies.

However, the long-term mechanical interaction between CO 2 -saturated brine and reservoir rock, particularly in the far-field zones, remains a key uncertainty. This study investigates the time-dependent degradation of sandstone porosity and compressive strength under varying CO 2 concentrations. Homogeneous sandstone cores were subjected to static ageing in CO 2 :brine with volumetric ratios of 30:100 (CB30) and 60:100 (CB60) at 60 ºC for 1, 15, and 30 days. The changes in rock integrity were evaluated using Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) testing, liquid-saturation porosity measurements, and microstructural analysis (SEM-EDX). Baseline EDX analysis identified the primary cementing mineral as calcite (CaCO 3 ), confirmed by the elemental presence of Calcium (Ca), Carbon (C), and Oxygen (O). Post-ageing results revealed that this primary cement underwent extensive dissolution in high-concentration samples, while secondary carbonate precipitates formed in low-concentration environments. The results revealed that the effective porosity for the CB30 series decreased consistently from 16.4% to 12.3%. In contrast, the CB60 series decreased from 15.6% (day 1) to 11.5% (day 15), then increased slightly to 12.0% (day 30). Mechanical testing showed that the CB30 series fluctuated from 37.1 MPa (day 1) to 33.1 MPa (day 15), then recovered to 37.2 MPa (day 30). Conversely, the CB60 series maintained stability at 36.2 MPa (days 1 and 15) before collapsing to 22.6 MPa (day 30). These findings suggest that in far-field zones, thermodynamic equilibrium favours secondary mineral precipitation and physical clogging, as supported by post-ageing SEM-EDX analysis confirming the accumulation of calcium-rich precipitates within the pore network, leading to porosity reduction. However, the rock's strength also depends on the CO 2 concentration. At low concentration, this precipitate clogging was favoured and filled the voids, successfully helping the rock regain its strength. In contrast, at high concentration, the carbonic acid eventually dissolved the calcite cement extensively, causing the rock to lose its structural support and collapse.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9153223/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-9153223/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.210Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acsomega.5c07153","name":"The Effects of Brine on CCUS-EOR and Challenges Faced during CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; Projects: A Review Involving Storage Mechanisms with Future Prospects.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Depleted petroleum reservoirs and saline aquifers offer significant potential for CO 2 storage, yet major challenges persist, including leakage, injectivity limitations, mineral and salt precipitation, and pore blockage.

Conclusions: Reduced LVEF is associated with higher HAI incidence in CCU patients, reflecting greater clinical severity, longer hospitalization, and increased exposure to invasive devices.

In this study, high-pressure and high-temperature contact angle and interfacial tension experiments were conducted on a CO 2 -oil-water-shale system to systematically characterize the evolution of interfacial properties under different temperature and pressure conditions, with particular emphasis on the coupled variations of wettability, interfacial tension, and adhesion work and their impacts on oil mobility. The experimental results indicate that CO 2 injection can significantly promote the alteration of shale wettability from water-wet or oil-wet toward intermediate-wet conditions, accompanied by simultaneous reductions in oil-water interfacial tension and the adhesion work of oil droplets on shale surfaces. These changes weaken the oil-rock interfacial binding strength and enhance oil desorption and flowability. Hydrophilic shales exhibit higher sensitivity to pressure variations, whereas oil-wet shales are primarily controlled by temperature, demonstrating that the initial wettability state plays a critical role in regulating interfacial responses to CO 2 exposure. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations based on Illite-kerogen composite slit pores reveal that low-temperature and high-pressure conditions favor the formation of a dense and stable CO 2 adsorption layer near pore walls, thereby significantly enhancing its competitive advantage over crude oil and its displacement capability. During this process, CO 2 progressively occupies adsorption sites from the pore interior toward the wall surface and from weak to strong adsorption sites, achieving stepwise competitive adsorption and replacement of oil molecules. This microscopic competitive adsorption mechanism provides molecular-scale evidence for the experimentally observed macroscopic evolution of interfacial properties. Overall, this study elucidates the intrinsic multiscale linkage among interfacial properties, molecular-scale interactions, and adsorption behaviors during CO 2 -oil competitive adsorption, providing a theoretical basis for understanding CO 2 -EOR mechanisms in shale reservoirs and for optimizing CCUS engineering applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.6c02845","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1021/acsomega.6c02845","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.210Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.5557299","name":"Technical Economic and Environmental analysis of Chemical Looping versus oxyfuel combustion for NGCC power plant","source":"datacite","abstract":"The Power Sector is undergoing a rapid technological change with respect to implementation of low carbon technologies.

In this framework, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) become essential areas of development. Sequestering CO2 into different geological media such as deep saline aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs reduces the net anthropogenic gas emissions. In 2020, the global CO2 emissions corresponded to 31.5 gigatons. In the case of Saudi Arabia, the Riyadh province emitted 45.8 megatons. This study aims to evaluate for the first time the CO2 storage potential of the Unayzah Formation in Saudi Arabia, identify the primary trapping mechanisms, and capture the effects of the highly heterogeneous reservoir. CO2 injection in geological media is challenging because of the complexity of the geological properties and the CO2 phase behavior at super-critical conditions. In the present evaluation, we constructed a geological model only with public domain data. Similarly, we obtained different scenarios of the model on account of the uncertainty in the geological parameters. Later on, we selected a base model representing a conservative scenario to perform high-resolution simulations to determine the dominant mechanisms influencing the storage efficiency. In the main analysis, we simulated continuous injection of CO2 for forty years followed by twenty years of monitoring. We tested the injectivity of the reservoir showing it is possible to inject 1 and 2 megatons in vertical and horizontal wells, respectively. Likewise, lower injection rates improved solubility and residual trapping. Residual trapping is dominant, and it could reach fifty percent, while solubility could reach up to fifteen percent of the total CO2 injected. Along with these scenarios, we performed an Uncertainty Analysis based on porosity and permeability multipliers, salinity, and hysteresis effect. Finally, we demonstrated the effectiveness of the seal, and the structural and stratigraphic trapping. Until the development of the current analysis, there is no evidence of public domain studies assessing the storage potential into saline aquifers in Saudi Arabia. This contribution is essential for developing CCUS and promoting a circular carbon economy in line with the Vision of the Kingdom for the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.25781/kaust-b9evf","authors":["Corrales Guerrero, Miguel Angel"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.25781/kaust-b9evf","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.6370418","name":"Integration of Multiphase CFD Models With Detailed Kinetics to Understand the Behavior of Oxygen Carriers Under Pressurized Conditions","source":"datacite","abstract":"The Power Sector is undergoing a rapid technological change with respect to implementation of low carbon technologies.

Keine Mutation wurde in der Studiengruppe reaktive Zytopenie gefunden. Mutationen in DNMT3A und ZRSR2 konnten nicht nur bei MDS-Patienten, sondern auch bei Patienten mit einer ICUS detektiert werden. In der hier durchgeführten Mutationsanalyse waren Mutationen in SRSF2, SETBP1, RUNX1, IDH2 und KRAS mit einem erhöhten Progressionsrisiko eines MDS assoziiert. Zusammenfassend lässt sich festhalten, dass sich die Methode des tNGS nach Ion Torrent dafür eignet, um FFPE-Gewebe auf Mutationen zu überprüfen. Das in dieser Studie eingesetzte MDS-Panel kann eine Hilfestellung darstellen, bei der Fragestellung nach einem MDS, und um den Verlauf eines MDS besser beurteilen zu können. Da Mutationen in DNMT3A oder ZRSR2, aber auch bei Patienten mit einer Zytopenie ohne ein MDS vorliegen können, müssen die identifizierten Mutationen immer gemeinsam mit den klinischen Befunden und der Zytologie und Histologie des Patienten bewertet werden. Es bedarf weiterer Studien mit größeren Fallzahlen und einem längeren Beobachtungszeitraum, um bei Patienten mit peripherer Zytopenie und Vorhandensein von Mutationen eine genaue Aussage über das Vorliegen eines MDS oder die Wahrscheinlichkeit der Entwicklung eines MDS treffen zu können.","url":"https://doi.org/10.15496/publikation-69834","authors":["Meca, Vanessa Julia"],"tags":["610","MDS","ICUS","CHIP","CCUS","Next Generation Sequencing"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.15496/publikation-69834","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.25676/11124/14122","name":"Synergies between carbon capture, utilization and sequestration and geothermal power in sedimentary basins","source":"datacite","abstract":"To achieve a rapid and effective energy transition, society will need to widely deploy both existing and emerging technologies and tools.

Natural synergies exist between two such technologies: carbon capture utilization and sequestration (CCUS) projects and geothermal power generation from hot sedimentary aquifers. The overlapping technical and operational components of these projects underline an opportunity for cost savings and accelerated deployment. Both technologies also share many of the skills, investments, and project cycles from existing oil and gas operations—making them ripe for transitions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.25676/11124/14122","authors":["Littlefield, Anna","Stautberg, Eric"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.25676/11124/14122","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5169/seals-645408","name":"CCS/CCUS : deux raisons d'espérer réduire les émissions de CO₂","source":"datacite","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5169/seals-645408","authors":["[s.n.]"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012","doi":"10.5169/seals-645408","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5169/seals-640961","name":"CCS/CCUS : zwei Hoffnungsträger für die Senkung des CO₂-Ausstosses","source":"datacite","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5169/seals-640961","authors":["[s.n.]"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012","doi":"10.5169/seals-640961","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.6570671","name":"REALISE CCUS webinar #3: The Cork Cluster study","source":"datacite","abstract":"This webinar provides an overview of findings from a recent study of the Cork industrial cluster in Ireland.

A previous briefing on CEP’s work on the SNZI project focussed on considering how a new T&S industry initially focussed on servicing decarbonisation in the Scottish industry cluster at Grangemouth would interact with the wider UK economy. This included supply chain activity, which we identify as potentially replicating and, thus, contributing to sustaining and transitioning jobs and value-added currently supported by the Oil & Gas industry. However, the impacts of introducing new T&S industry activity also depend on who ultimately pays to guarantee demand for its output, involving a range of business model challenges. The central insight emerging was that that introducing a new CO2 T&S does have the potential to deliver economy wide gains such as increased GDP, employment, and earnings. However, gains will be eroded or entirely offset, risking wider economy contraction and employment loss, if socialising costs involved sacrificing household consumption in other sectors, or reducing the competitiveness of heavily traded production activity within the Scottish industry cluster. This brief reports on the subsequent stage of our research, increasingly informed by insight and evidence emerging for the Scottish cluster case as the UK CCUS cluster sequencing process develops alongside the wider SNZI project. Here we focus on further understanding the extent to which the economy wide picture and distributional impacts therein may change (or not) if the Scottish CCUS cluster services both domestic decarbonisation and potential export demand for T&S services.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17868/79716","authors":["Turner, Karen","Alabi, Oluwafisayo","Katris, Antonios","Calvillo, Christian","Stewart, Jamie","Race, Julia"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.17868/79716","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.14906655.v4","name":"Two-stage Planning for Electricity-Gas Coupled Integrated Energy System with CCUS Considering Carbon Price Uncertainties","source":"datacite","abstract":"In this article, we propose two-stage planning models for Electricity-Gas Coupled Integrated Energy System (EGC-IES), in which traditional thermal power plants (TTPPs) are considered to be retrofitted into carbon capture power plants (CCPPs), with power to gas (PtG) coupling CCPPs to gas system.

In heterogeneous networks (HetNets), the uncoordinated channel access by different types of base stations determine the interference statistics that further arbitrates the coverage probability. Thus, the spectrum allocation techniques have major impact on the performance of CCU and CEU. In this paper, the performance of CCUs and CEUs in a random two-tier network is studied for two spectrum allocation techniques namely: 1) co-channel (CSA), and 2) shared (SSA). For performance analysis, the widely accepted conception of modeling the tiers of HetNet using independent homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP) is considered to accommodate the spatial randomness in location of BSs. To incorporate the spatial randomness in the arrival of service and to aid the load-aware analysis, the cellular traffic is modeled using spatio-temporal PPP. Under this scenario, we have developed an analytical framework to evaluate the load-aware performance, including coverage and blocking probabilities, of CCUs and CEUs under both spectrum allocation techniques. Further, we provide insight into achievable area energy efficiency for SSA and CSA. The developed analytical framework is validated through extensive simulations. Next, we demonstrate the impact of traffic load and femto access points density on the performance of CCUs/CEUs under CSA and SSA.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.1609.05670","authors":["Mankar, Praful D.","Das, Goutam","Pathak, S.

However, private retrofit investment remains limited due to substantial project costs and risks without adequate incentives. Ambiguity in climate policy design, feasibility, and influence adds to the preexisting commercial and technical risks of retrofitting. Consequently, power producers must make retrofit decisions under considerable uncertainty. This research seeks to construct a flexible discounted cash flow (DCF) model to represent plant-level retrofit decision-making within the ERCOT power system of Texas. Through Monte Carlo simulation techniques, the model incorporates both user-determined and stochastic parameters representative of the technical, financial, and policy uncertainties associated with retrofitting coal and natural gas powerplants. The model separately evaluates both the net present value (NPV) of a hypothetical standalone retrofit project and the incremental NPV comparison to the existing, non-retrofitted status quo. Model results indicate minimal commerciality for CCS retrofitting within the Texas and ERCOT markets. Disparities in parameter sensitivity by plant fuel type, driven by differences in retrofit costs and CO₂ intensities, suggest that plant type partially dictates the efficacy of decarbonization policy proposals, including a carbon tax. Sensitivity results show that existing CCS incentives and policy designs overcompensate inefficient coal plants in maximizing electricity generation for the sake of subsequent capture of the CO₂ byproduct. Future policies will likely need to both reduce the upfront cost and offset post-retrofit additional operational and fuel costs to incentivize retrofitting.

Feeding patients, enteral feeding in particular, is a critical and continu- ous process. Monitoring patients, managing their feeding and referring to a dietician is a key factor in CCUs. Screening patients for referral to a dietician in a CCU is an error-prone and complicated task. One of the main challenges in this regard is that the data needed to screen patients is scattered among many different variables and textual forms. The number of patients being treated in the CCU is also a significant problem since it becomes difficult for the staff to keep track of the needs of all patients. Therefore, an automated screening tool can support effectively the feeding process and contribute considerably towards improving the quality and consistency of patient care. In this paper we present early stages of a project that aims at using machine learning techniques to help CCU consultants to automatically screen patients for dietician referral.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48448/3rs4-6h50","authors":["21st International Conference on Engineering Applications of Neural Networks 2020","Soomro, Kamran"],"tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Biomedical Engineering","FOS: Medical engineering","Machine Learning"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020","doi":"10.48448/3rs4-6h50","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.26262/heal.auth.ir.110397","name":"Βέλτιστη υλοποίηση εφαρμογών σε ειδικούς επεξεργαστές","source":"datacite","abstract":"Το μοντέλο ARISE προτείνει μια συστηματική προσέγγιση για την επέκταση μίας και μοναδικής φοράς ενός γενικού επεξεργαστή, ώστε να μπορεί να υποστηρίξει ένα αυθαίρετο πλήθος Ειδικών Επεξεργαστικών Μονάδων (CCU).

Joints and faults may act as mechanisms for seal bypass, allowing fluids to escape from the reservoir. The injection and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in subsurface porous sandstone with effective top seals is a proposed method for reducing the amount of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere in the system of carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS). Uplift and erosion of the San Rafael Swell in south-central Utah has exposed the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone and Carmel Formation reservoir-seal pair that is analogous to potential CO2 injection targets. The outcrops show evidence of seal failure through mesoscopic opening-mode fractures and faults in the caprock. We focus on three sites of different structural position with exposures of the reservoir-seal pair that were analyzed for fracture characteristics. Deformation-band faults, joints, and joint clusters are present in the Navajo Sandstone and deformation-band faults are present in the Page Sandstone where faulting has occurred. The structures in the reservoir lithologies penetrate the interface and transition into opening-mode fractures in the caprock. The fractures in the caprock show evidence of seal failure which include multiple mineralization events and bleaching, likely from reducing fluids within the fractures. Seal failure is most likely where fracture density is highest. Fracture density data acquired from scan-line measurements shows that fracture density is highest in fracture clusters, in the syncline hinge where curvature is highest, and near faults. The fracture distributions are related to the structural settings in which transmissive fractures have predictable orientations. The opening-mode fractures and faults of the study may compromise the seal integrity of the caprock and are undetectable using traditional seismic techniques. Mesoscopic subseismic seal-compromising features may allow CO2 to leak though the caprock slowly, which could be significant over the thousands of years necessary for CCUS to be feasible.","url":"https://doi.org/10.26076/4777-56d6","authors":["Flores, Santiago L."],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2014","doi":"10.26076/4777-56d6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17868/67391","name":"Reframing the Value Case for CCUS : Evidence on the Economic Value Case for CCUS in Scotland and the UK (Technical Report)","source":"datacite","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.17868/67391","authors":["Karen Turner","Oluwafisayo Alabi","Ragne Low","Julia Race"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019","doi":"10.17868/67391","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17868/68739","name":"The Role of CCS in Industry Clusters in Delivering Value to the Political Economy","source":"datacite","abstract":"Government departments responsible for energy and climate policy around the world, partly informed by low carbon energy system projections, have demonstrated support for development of carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS).

For those budget holders, CCS may essentially be seen as a complex, expensive pollution control system that requires extensive up-front investment and adds to production costs.

This has included both the industries that could be play a key role in delivering CO2 transport and storage services (the oil and gas industry and its supply chain), and capture industries. In UK regional context, potential capture industries located at key cluster locations are of particular interest under the BEIS CCUS Action Plan. In Scotland particular interest lies in the Scottish Chemicals industry, much of which is located at the Grangemouth cluster in Falkirk. Basic employment multiplier analyses (using input-output data published by the Scottish Government) tells us that, while relatively capital intensive (making direct industry jobs hard to create), industries in the Chemicals sector support supply chain jobs across multiple Scottish sectors. Overall, the Scottish Chemicals industry directly employs 5,691 full-time equivalent workers, with a further 9,231 employed in supply chains throughout Scotland. The question we address here is the extent to which this may be considered as high quality employment. We extend conventional input-output economic multiplier analysis to produce a new metric that reports the quality of employment in terms of the average wage supported across the wider economy by any given industry’s activity. We find that the Scottish Chemicals industries support average wages per full-time equivalent (FTE) worker in their upstream supply chains that range (in 2015 prices) between £36k and £38.2k. This is considerably greater than the average wage across all Scottish industries (£32.2k per FTE worker), and among the highest supported by any Scottish industry. If the direct own-sector wage is included in the calculation, the average supported wage rises considerably in each case, with the three Chemicals industries being second only to the Scottish Pharmaceuticals industry in the wage premium associated with total supported jobs. Our method allows us to consider the critical contributors to these high average supported wages. For example, in the case of the Scottish ‘Petroleum Refining and Petrochemicals’ industry we find that while supply chain employment is dominated in absolute terms by jobs in lower wage Distribution and Services sectors, the presence of higher wage energy/utilities and other manufacturing sectors pull up the average wage supported (E38.2k).","url":"https://doi.org/10.17868/69805","authors":["Turner, Karen","Alabi, Oluwafisayo","Race, Julia","Katris, Antonios"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019","doi":"10.17868/69805","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.5557300","name":"Technical Economic and Environmental analysis of Chemical Looping versus oxyfuel combustion for NGCC power plant","source":"datacite","abstract":"The Power Sector is undergoing a rapid technological change with respect to implementation of low carbon technologies.

Currently 28% of the installed power capacity in Europe is based on natural gas plants. Gas-based power capacity has reached 418 GW in 2016 and is likely to continue to grow in the future. To efficiently capture the carbon dioxide emissions generated by the combustion of natural gas in the combustion chamber a possible solution could be to adopt new combustion processes, like Chemical Looping Combustion. The combination of CLC and GTs can decrease the efficiency of a combined cycle power plant from 60% to about 40.34%. These performances influence costs and environmental burdens and this is also the same for oxyfuel combustion, which is a competing technology to realize CCS. This paper, starting from literature mass and energy balances of a conventional combined cycle, a combined cycle coupled with chemical looping combustor and a combined cycle coupled with oxyfuel combustion, calculates the reduction of CO2 emissions which can be achieved during the whole life cycle of the power plant and then identifies the value of the carbon credit which is needed to have an interesting payback period for such kind of investment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5557300","authors":["Bartocci, Pietro"],"tags":["Hydrogen, Life Cycle Assessment, Mass and Energy Balances, Emissions, EnergyPlan"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.5557300","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.5104905","name":"Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage systems analysis through cognitive mapping - elicitation process","source":"datacite","abstract":"Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) projects are complex systems due to their multistakeholder and multisectoral nature.

Plastic, rubber and synthetic textiles adorn our buildings, vehicles and countless other elements of the modern built environment. Modern agricultural systems could not function at their current level of output without synthetic fertilisers and other agrochemicals, and the pharmaceutical sector as we know it would not exist. We are dependent on chemicals. According to statistics compiled by the International Energy Agency, the chemical sector is the largest industrial energy consumer. Paradoxically though, the chemical sector is responsible for fewer direct greenhouse gas emissions than either the steel or cement industries. This apparent mismatch arises mainly from the consumption of more than half its energy inputs as feedstock; fuels used as raw material inputs. This factor, combined with the sector’s overall complexity, makes it a challenging area in which to mitigate emissions, especially given the increases in demand projected for many of its products. The core aims of this research are to identify, compare and prioritise mitigation options for the chemical sector. By adopting the concept of resource efficiency, a broader range of mitigation options can be explored, including supply-side and demand-side options. The former concerns efforts to reduce the emissions that take place during the production-phase of chemical products’ life cycles (e.g. increasing process energy efficiency), whilst the latter includes options that reduce emissions at multiple points in the life cycle by reducing demand for chemical products (e.g. increasing the efficiency of fertiliser application). Supply-side options are compared using optimisation modelling, leading to a set of priorities. In the medium-term, process energy improvements and reducing the use of coal (as a fuel and feedstock) contribute most to emissions reductions. In the longer-term (and overall), carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) makes the largest contribution. If electricity prices are low, electrolytic process routes provide an attractive alternative to CCUS. A major impediment to examining demand-side options is the lack of information on the sector’s material flows. A material flow analysis of the chemical sector is provided, from fossil fuel feedstocks to chemical products. This analysis is used as the foundation to construct a framework that translates changes in demand for chemical products to impacts on emissions levels. Using the framework, a series of “What if…?” analyses reveals that substantial mitigation potential – similar to that of the priorities identified on the supply-side – is available via technically feasible demand-side interventions, particularly measures that result in reduced fertiliser demand. The core contribution of this thesis is to provide a consistent basis for examining a comprehensive portfolio of mitigation options for the chemical sector, avoiding the current tendency to focus on the supply-side. While a re-balancing of emphasis on the demand-side is shown to yield considerable benefits, supply-side options will continue to be integral to securing a more sustainable supply of chemical products, especially in the long-term.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17863/cam.40447","authors":["Levi, Peter Gerard"],"tags":["Resource efficiency","Chemical and petrochemical sector","Material efficiency","Energy efficiency","Industry","Greenhouse gas emissions"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019","doi":"10.17863/cam.40447","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17632/vsfpptz5sw.2","name":"Comparison of pre and post-combustion capture in a typical sugarcane mill","source":"datacite","abstract":"A.

CO2 is naturally found in the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle, however it becomes a primary greenhouse gas when human activities disturb this natural balanced cycle by increasing levels in the atmosphere. In light of this fact, greenhouse gas mitigation strategies have garnered a lot of attention. Carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS) has emerged as a possible strategy to limit CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The technology involves capturing CO2 at the point sources, using it for other markets or transporting to geological formations for safe storage. This thesis aims to understand and probe the chemistry of the reactions between CO2 and iron-bearing sediments to ensure secure storage for millennia. The dissertation work presented here focused on trapping CO2 as a carbonate mineral as a permanent and secure method of CO2 storage. The research also explored the use of iron-bearing minerals found in the geological subsurface as candidates for trapping CO2 and sulfide gas mixtures as siderite (FeCO3) and iron sulfides. Carbon dioxide sequestration via the use of sulfide reductants of the iron oxyhydroxide polymorphs lepidocrocite, goethite and akaganeite with supercritical CO2 (scCO2) was investigated using in situ attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The exposure of the different iron oxyhydroxides to aqueous sulfide in contact with scCO2 at ~70-100 ˚C resulted in the partial transformation of the minerals to siderite (FeCO3). The order of mineral reactivity with regard to siderite formation in the scCO2/sulfide environment was goethite &lt; lepidocrocite ≤ akaganéite. Overall, the results suggested that the carbonation of lepidocrocite and akaganéite with a CO2 waste stream containing ~1-5% H2S would sequester both the carbon and sulfide efficiently. Hence, it might be possible to develop a process that could be associated with large CO2 point sources in locations without suitable sedimentary strata for subsurface sequestration. This thesis also investigates the effect of salinity on the reactions between a ferric-bearing oxide phase, aqueous sulfide, and scCO2. ATR-FTIR was again used as an in situ probe to follow product formation in the reaction environment. X-ray diffraction along with Rietveld refinement was used to determine the relative proportion of solid product phases. ATR-FTIR results showed the evolution of siderite (FeCO3) in solutions containing NaCl(aq) concentrations that varied from 0.10 to 4.0 M. The yield of siderite was greatest under solution ionic strength conditions associated with NaCl(aq) concentrations of 0.1-1 M (siderite yield 40% of solid product) and lowest at the highest ionic strength achieved with 4 M NaCl(aq) (20% of solid product). Based partly on thermochemical calculations, it is suggested that a decrease in the concentration of aqueous HCO3- and a corresponding increase in co-ion formation, (i.e., NaHCO3) with increasing NaCl(aq) concentration resulted in the decreasing yield of siderite product. At all the ionic strength conditions used in this study, the most abundant solid phase product present after reaction was hematite (Fe2O3) and pyrite (FeS2). The former product likely formed via dissolution/reprecipitation reactions, whereas the reductive dissolution of ferric iron by the aqueous sulfide likely preceded the formation of pyrite. These in situ experiments allowed the ability to follow the reaction chemistry between the iron oxyhr(oxide), aqueous sulfide and CO2 under conditions relevant to subsurface conditions. Furthermore, very important results from these small-scale experiments show this process can be a potentially superior and operable method for mitigating CO2 emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.34944/dspace/3144","authors":["(:Unkn) Unknown"],"tags":["Chemistry, Analytical","Geochemistry","FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences","FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences","Carbon Dioxide Sequestration","Iron Oxides","Siderite","Supercritical Co2"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015","doi":"10.34944/dspace/3144","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.4127045","name":"DEMOGRAPHIC STATUS OF PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (AMI) PRESENTED TO PUNJAB INSTITUTE OF CARDIOLOGY, LAHORE","source":"datacite","abstract":"Objective: While doing the study on Aspirin Awareness and Usage (AAUS) in cases of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), AAUS study Group designed the protocol to include the profile of patients presenting with symptoms of ACS and in the light of that also reviewed the available data in Pakistani population.

As so, aiming to reduce carbon concentrations in the atmosphere, many studies recommend the inclusion of technologies as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) or Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS) to follow through energy transition. As discussed in this paper, only fossil fuel replacement is not enough to achieve a temperature increase of up to 2o C. Therefore, bioenergy, together with these technologies, named Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) or when it may also include usage (BECCS/U), have the potential to reach negative emissions on bioenergy life cycle. Consequently, understanding the challenges for the implementation of such technologies requires a broad perspective that is addressed through a socio-technical approach, encompassing technical, economic, financial, political, legal, regulatory and social aspects. BECCU (Carbon Capture and Usage) is already becoming a reality in Brazil, since several sugarcane ethanol mills already sell CO2 from their fermentation process to other industries. However, there are still many challenges mainly related to BECCS/U, not yet implemented in the country.

The fossil fuel prices assumed for the models and cash flow analysis affect electricity generation dispatch, costs, and revenues, as well as revenues and costs for EOR oil production.

Abstract This letter compares several bounding cases for understanding the economic viability of capturing large quantities of anthropogenic CO 2 from coal-fired power generators within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas electric grid and using it for pure CO 2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the onshore coastal region of Texas along the Gulf of Mexico. All captured CO 2 in excess of that needed for EOR is sequestered in saline formations at the same geographic locations as the oil reservoirs but at a different depth. We analyze the extraction of oil from the same set of ten reservoirs within 20- and five-year time frames to describe how the scale of the carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) network changes to meet the rate of CO 2 demand for oil recovery. Our analysis shows that there is a negative system-wide net present value (NPV) for all modeled scenarios. The system comes close to breakeven economics when capturing CO 2 from three coal-fired power plants to produce oil via CO 2 -EOR over 20 years and assuming no CO 2 emissions penalty. The NPV drops when we consider a larger network to produce oil more quickly (21 coal-fired generators with CO 2 capture to produce 80% of the oil within five years). Upon applying a CO 2 emissions penalty of 60$2009/tCO 2 to fossil fuel emissions to ensure that coal-fired power plants with CO 2 capture remain in baseload operation, the system economics drop significantly. We show near profitability for the cash flow of the EOR operations only; however, this situation requires relatively cheap electricity prices during operation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1011596.v1","authors":["King, Carey W","Gülen, Gürcan","Cohen, Stuart M","Nuñez-Lopez, Vanessa"],"tags":["Environmental Science"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2013","doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.1011596.v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.02.28.707294","name":"Aberrant oxidative metabolism selects for  <i>TET2</i>  -deficient hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The mechanism(s) driving selective expansion of mutant hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) in clonal hematopoiesis (CH) are incompletely understood. Here, we address the role of metabolism in selection for HSPC with loss of function mutations in TET2 . Loss of Tet2 in murine HSPC triggers overexpression of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation genes and increased oxidative metabolism via an enlarged mitochondrial network. However, Tet2 -deficient HSPC maintain a normal redox state. Strikingly, compound loss of the rate-limiting pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) triggers increased reactive oxygen species and impairs the fitness of Tet2 -deficient HSPC. We find that aberrant oxidative metabolism is also a feature of HSPC in human CH and clonal cytopenia of unknown significance (CCUS).

Post-exposure, carbonate loss ranged from 15–40% in reservoir samples and up to 20% in caprock samples. Illite and K-feldspar showed depletion of Fe²⁺, Mg²⁺, and K⁺ at grain edges and cleavages, while pyrite underwent oxidation with Fe redistribution. Organic matter exhibited scCO₂-induced surface alteration and apparent sorption effects, most pronounced in R2 and R3. Elemental mapping revealed Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe²⁺, and Si⁴⁺ mobilization near reactive interfaces, though no secondary mineral precipitates formed.

PARP inhibitors, however, are known to cause therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) in a subset of patients. Predisposing factors to t-MN development in the context of PARP inhibitor exposure are not well described. To determine the frequency of t-MN in these patients, an institutional cohort of 265 patients with exposure to PARP inhibitors was identified. A subset of these patients with PARP inhibitor-related cytopenias underwent bone marrow biopsies. Among 265 patients, 17 (6.4%) underwent a bone marrow biopsy, which yielded a therapy-related hematologic diagnosis in 47% (8/17). Breast cancer metastasis to the marrow was found in one patient, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis was found in another. We analyzed the molecular characteristics of t-MNs in 13 PARP inhibitor-exposed patients, including five additional PARP inhibitor-exposed patients diagnosed with t-MNs in community practices. Among patients with t-MNs, five had acute therapy-related myeloid leukemia (t-AML), six were diagnosed with therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS), and two had therapy-related clonal cytopenias of uncertain significance (t-CCUS). Complex karyotypes were found in four of seven patients who underwent karyotyping (57%). Next-generation sequencing identified TP53 mutations in 7 of 9 patients analyzed (78%). Among patients with germline testing, four (40%) did not have a germline mutation identified, four (40%) had a BRCA1 pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variant, and two (20%) had a BRCA2 P/LP variant. Four patients received supportive care and/or observation after blood cancer diagnosis, and six received t-MN-directed therapy.

In this study, the deep unworkable seam was taken as the research object. Firstly, the evaluation method of CO 2 storage potential in deep unworkable seam was discussed. Secondly, the CO 2 storage potential was analyzed. Then, the matching research of CO 2 source and sink was carried out, and the pipe network design was optimized. Finally, this study puts forward suggestions on the design of pipeline network from the perspective of time and space scales. The results show that the average annual CO 2 emissions of coal-fired power plants vary greatly, and the total emissions are 58.7608 million tons. The CO 2 storage potential in deep unworkable seam is huge with a total amount of 762 million tons, which can store CO 2 for 12.97 years. During the 10-year period, the deep unworkable seam can store 587.6 million tons of CO 2 , and the cumulative length of pipeline is 251.6129 km with requiring a cumulative capital of 4.26*10 10 dollars. In the process of CCUS source-sink matching, the cumulative saving mileage of carbon sink is 98.7502 km, and the cumulative saving cost is 25.669 billion dollars with accounting for 39.25% and 60.26% of the total mileage and cost, respectively. Based on the three-step approach, the whole line of CO 2 source and sink in Huainan coalfield can be completed by stages and regions, and all CO 2 transportation and storage can be realized. CO 2 pipelines include gas collection and distribution branch lines, intra-regional trunk lines, and interregional trunk lines. Based on the reasonable layout of CO 2 pipelines, a variety of CCUS applications can be simultaneously carried out, intra-regional and inter-regional CO 2 transport network demonstrations can be built, and integrated business models of CO 2 transport and storage can be simultaneously built on land and sea. The research results can provide reference for the evaluation of CO 2 sequestration potential of China's coal bases, lay a foundation for the deployment of CCUS clusters, and promote the realization of China's dual-carbon strategy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-4339552/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4339552/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-4964600/v1","name":"Porosity Prediction using Bagging Ensemble Machine Learning in CCUS Reservoirs.

Bagging ensemble algorithms have been employed for parameter prediction, as they theoretically outperform traditional ML algorithms. Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is a strategy implemented to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions. A vital aspect of CCS assessment is determining carbon storage capacity, which estimates the amount of CO 2 that can be stored in the subsurface. Porosity is a critical parameter in calculating this capacity. In this study, the applicability of regression friendly bagging ensemble ML models; random forest regression (RFR) and extra tree regression (ETR) to estimate porosity of a sandstone layer as part of a CCS program was investigated. RFR models were developed considering caliper log (CAL), gamma ray log (GR), neutron log (NPHI), photoelectric factor log (PE) and deep laterolog (LLD) input features and calculated porosity as targets. Moreover, four traditional (classical) ML models, multilayer perceptron (MLP), support vector regression (SVR), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and decision tree regression (DTR), were developed to compare them with the bagging ensemble models. The results showed that the RFR model achieved a testing model R 2 value of 0.9668, while ETR model achieved a resting model R 2 value of 0.9569. The higher R 2 value of the RFR model makes it a better choice for predicting porosity in CCS assessment projects. However, if computational time is a critical factor, ETR could be preferable, as it required only1/3 of the computational time that of the RFR model. Furthermore, when the performance of these models was compared with the four traditional ML models the two bagging ensembles distinctly outperformed the traditional models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-4964600/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4964600/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-3971629/v1","name":"Specialized critical care ultrasound training in critical care medicine education: a prospective single-center observational study with pre-post evaluations","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Abstract Background The widespread use of critical care ultrasound (CCUS) for the management of patients in intensive care units (ICUs) requires effective training.

Within the immune system, key features of physiological hematopoietic cell aging include increased fat deposition in the bone marrow, impaired hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) function, and a propensity towards myeloid differentiation. This shift in lineage bias can lead to pre-malignant bone marrow conditions such as clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) or clonal cytopenias of undetermined significance (CCUS), frequently setting the stage for subsequent development of age-related cancers in myeloid or lymphoid lineages. At the systemic as well as sub-cellular level, human aging has also been associated with diverse lipid alterations, such as decreased phospholipid membrane fluidity that arises as a result of increased saturated fatty acid (FA) accumulation and a decay in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) species by the age of 80 years, however the extent to which impaired FA metabolism contributes to hematopoietic aging is less clear. Here, we performed comprehensive multi-omics analyses and uncovered a role for a key PUFA biosynthesis gene, ELOVL2 , in mouse and human immune cell aging. Whole transcriptome RNA-sequencing studies of bone marrow from aged Elovl2 mutant (enzyme-deficient) mice compared with age-matched controls revealed global down-regulation in lymphoid cell markers and expression of genes involved specifically in B cell development. Flow cytometric analyses of immune cell markers confirmed an aging-associated loss of B cell markers that was exacerbated in the bone marrow of Elovl2 mutant mice and unveiled CD79B, a vital molecular regulator of lymphoid progenitor development from the pro-B to pre-B cell stage, as a putative surface biomarker of accelerated immune aging. Complementary lipidomic studies extended these findings to reveal select alterations in lipid species in aged and Elovl2 mutant mouse bone marrow samples, suggesting significant changes in the biophysical properties of cellular membranes. Furthermore, single cell RNA-seq analysis of human HSPCs across the spectrum of human development and aging uncovered a rare subpopulation ( 60 years old) bone marrow samples. Together, these findings uncover new roles for lipid metabolism enzymes in the molecular regulation of cellular aging and immune cell function in mouse and human hematopoiesis. In addition, because systemic loss of ELOVL2 enzymatic activity resulted in down-regulation of B cell genes that are also associated with lymphoproliferative neoplasms, this study sheds light on an intriguing metabolic pathway that could be leveraged in future studies as a novel therapeutic modality to target blood cancers or other age-related conditions involving the B cell lineage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.09.26.614999","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1101/2024.09.26.614999","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-4397067/v1","name":"Rapid growth of acquired UBA1 mutations predisposes male patients to low-risk MDS","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Abstract VEXAS (vacuoles, E1-ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome is a recently described autoinflammatory disorder caused by acquired UBA1 mutations in hematopoietic precursor cells.

This work develops a novel optimisation-based multi-market potential assessment model to quantify the impact of combined policies in increasing market uptake and reducing mitigation cost of new CCUS technologies by 2030 among refineries considered to be operating under CCUS clusters with a shared transport and storage network business model.

Results show that sufficient demand among refineries can be generated from policies combined globally to trigger further cost reductions to a target cost of capture of ≤ US$40 /tCO 2 . Overall, 33% maximum cost savings is possible at a worldwide cost of US$ 46.3 billion shared between governments and the industry largely in the form of unified carbon taxes and grant support. Moreover, refineries in Asia, North America and Europe are more likely to lead CCUS cost savings as high as 22% due to their huge market potential and policy mix support from capital funding, tax credits for EOR and storage, and emissions allowances, as opposed to potential in Africa and Oceania.

In the clinical setting, the wild-type p53 is reactivated pharmacologically by targeting p53/MDM2/MDM4 interactions and mutant p53 reactivation is achieved by refolding the DNA binding domain to wild-type-like conformation or via targeted degradation of the mutated protein. This review discusses our current understanding of p53 biology in MDS and AML and the promises and failures of p53 reactivation in the clinical trial setting.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202309.0848.v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.20944/preprints202309.0848.v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202405.1114.v1","name":"A Step Towards CO<sub>2</sub> Sequestration through Mineral Carbonation: Using Ammonium Based Lixiviants for the Dissolution of Calcium from Iron Making Blast Furnace Slag","source":"preprints","abstract":"In recent years, technical processes for the sequestration of CO2 through industrial waste mineral carbonation have been explored and developed. There is a large portfolio of Carbon Capture, Uti-lisation and Storage (CCUS) techniques that have been employed on a laboratory and at pilot scale. These include geological storage, ocean storage and mineralisation by carbonate ores. In view of this, the main purpose of this research was to investigate and explore chemical variables, particularly ammonium salts as lixiviants for calcium mineral extraction from iron making slag. The slag in use was acquired from a Steel Mill in the Vaal Triangle Region in Gauteng, South Af-rica. The experimental test work was conducted using different ammonium lixiviants, namely, NH4NO3, NH4Cl and CH3COONH4 to understand the influence of anion type as well as possible differences in mechanisms of interactions. Lixiviant concentration as well as the reaction time were varied in this research study. The three selected ammonium based lixiviants showed different extents of calcium extraction owing to differences in the anion groups. NH4NO3, NH4Cl and CH3COONH4 were found capable of dissolving 50% to 80% of calcium from the selected slag for different molar concentrations. Anion type and leaching time also had significant influences on the leaching of calcium from the slag. Rapid pH degradation resulted in better calcium extraction ca-pabilities. This work has shown that the selected ammonium salts have a potential as lixiviants for calcium dissolution from iron making blast furnace slags. These lixiviants would therefore be important to consider during calcium mineral carbonation for CO2 sequestration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202405.1114.v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.20944/preprints202405.1114.v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4286453","name":"Communicating CCS: lessons from UK CCS Research Centre experience","source":"preprints","abstract":"The UK CCS Research Centre (www.ukccsrc.ac.uk) has undertaken a wide range of communication activities with diverse groups of stakeholders during the current phase of UK CCS deployment, which started in January 2016 following the cancellation of funding for the second UK CCUS Competition (the Peterhead and White Rose projects) and has now expanded to around seven active or emerging CCS clusters.

The Pearl River Mouth Basin, adjacent to Guangdong province, is a suitable region for CCUS cluster project construction. To assess the cost reduction potential of CCUS cluster projects, we selected three coal-fired power plants in the coastal area of Guangdong as research targets.

By comparing individual costs and CCUS cluster project costs, we assessed the cost reduction potential of CCUS cluster projects. The results show that CCUS cluster projects can significantly reduce costs by sharing pipelines and storage facilities.

However, no data exists from adult extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) centres. Aim To describe workforce characteristics, pharmacy service provision, and pharmaceutical care activities in critical care units providing an adult ECMO service in the United Kingdom (UK), and compare to national staffing standards for critical care units. Method We conducted a multicentre, cross-sectional electronic survey inviting one pharmacy professional response per UK ECMO centre. Results The survey response rate was 90.9%: representatives of 10/11 tertiary hospitals providing ECMO services responded. The median ratio of critical care pharmacists per critical care bed was 1:12.1 (interquartile range (IQR) – 1:9.4 – 1:14.9). Most centres (90.0%) did not meet national standards for pharmacy professionals to critical care bed staffing ratios for weekday services. Total critical care beds covered by the critical care pharmacy team varied across the UK: median (IQR) – 45 (37-80) beds. Two centres funded pharmacist time for ECMO activity, and one centre funded a pharmacy technician post. Median peak ECMO activity was 4 ECMO patients in a single day (IQR: 3-5). Most respondents reported reduced pharmacy service at weekends compared to weekday, with limited on-site support. Conclusion Most responding ECMO centres reported pharmacy staffing ratios below nationally agreed critical care standards. There was high variability in clinical pharmacy services to ECMO patients over 7 days. Future work should address the gap in clinical pharmacy services, the 7-day service and ensure adequate technician provision across each ECMO centre.

The Canary current upwelling system (CCUS) has a large latitudinal extension, usually divided into upwelling zones with different characteristics. Eddies, filaments and other mesoscale processes are known to have an impact in the upwelling productivity, thus for a proper representation of the CCUS a large spatial coverage and high horizontal resolution are required. Here we assess the CCUS present climate in the atmosphere-ocean regionally coupled model ROM (REMO-OASIS-MPIOM). ROM presents a global oceanic component with increased horizontal resolution along the northwestern African coast, and its performance over the CCUS is assessed against relevant reanalysis data sets and compared with an ensemble of global climate models (GCMs) and an ensemble of atmosphere-only regional climate models (RCMs) in order to assess the role of the horizontal resolution. ROM reproduces the larger scale pattern of the CCUS and its latitudinal and seasonal variability over the coastal band, improving the GCMs outputs. ROM shows a performance comparable to the ensemble of RCMs in representing the coastal wind stress and near-surface air temperature fields. ROM is able of properly reproducing mesoscale structures, being able to simulate the upwelling filaments events off Cape Ghir, which are not well represented in most of GCMs. Our results stress the ability of ROM to reproduce the larger scale as well as mesoscale processes over the CCUS, opening the possibility to evaluate the climate change signal there with increased confidence.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-459269/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-459269/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.695Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22541/au.166546302.21437737/v1","name":"Study on the CO2 solubility in aqueous solution from Lw-V two-phase system to H-Lw-V coexistence system","source":"preprints","abstract":"The gas solubility in the aqueous solution surrounded the hydrate particle are important for determining hydrate growth rate and stability, which are the main concerns for marine CCUS.

The CO 2 capture process is energy intensive, so its study and search for the optimization of mass transfer, energy parameters and cost analysis are necessary for its widespread application. In the context of climate change mitigation, CO 2 capture and sequestration (CCS), as well as its possible long-term storage, or preferably its use (CCUS), represent a technological route to neutralize CO 2 emissions without leaving to use fossil fuels, during a period in which these fuels are replaced or their use rationalized by means of energy efficiency improvement methods. The objective of this work is to analyze the investment in electricity generation without and with CO 2 capture process in three power plants in Mexico: Natural Gas Boiler, Open Cycle Natural Gas Turbine Boiler and Coal Boiler.

Nurses in these wards are expected to detect and respond to patient deterioration to prevent cardiac arrest or death. This study examined nurses' vital signs documentation practices during clinical deterioration and explored factors influencing their ability to detect and respond to clinical deterioration. Methods This convergent parallel mixed-methods study was conducted in the general medical and surgical wards of three hospitals in Kenya's coastal region. Quantitative data on the extent to which the nurses monitored and documented the patients' vital signs 24 hours before a cardiac arrest (death) occurred was retrieved from patients' medical records. Additionally, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty-four purposefully drawn registered nurses working in the three hospitals' adult medical and surgical wards. Results This study reviewed 405 patient records and found that most of the documentation of the vital signs was done in the nursing notes and not the vital signs observation chart. During the 24 hours prior to death, respiratory rate was documented the least in only 1.2% of the records. Only a very small percentage of patients had any vital event documented for all six-time points. Thematic analysis of the interview data identified five broad themes related to detecting and responding promptly to deterioration. These were insufficient monitoring of vital signs, availability of equipment and supplies, staffing conditions and workload, lack of training and guidelines, and communication and teamwork constraints among healthcare workers. Conclusion The study showed that nurses did not consistently monitor and record vital signs in the general wards. The nurses worked in suboptimal ward environments characterised by inadequate and malfunctioning monitoring equipment, high workload due to staff shortages, communication and teamwork gaps, and little training on handling patient deterioration at the ward level; factors that negatively impact patient safety and outcomes. The findings provide an opportunity for future research to test interventions to improve nurses' assessment and management of clinical deterioration in general wards.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-2633455/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-2633455/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2022.02.07.22270555","name":"Clinical outcomes in hospitalized vaccine-breakthrough COVID-19 cases compared with contemporary unvaccinated hospitalized adults","source":"preprints","abstract":"Summary The inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (CoronaVac®) has been the principal vaccine used in Chile’s pre-booster immunization campaign.

We examined mono- or oligoclonal evolution of MPN by performing bone marrow transplantations at limiting dilutions with only 1-3 JAK2 -mutant HSCs per recipient. Genetic loss of IL-1β in JAK2 -mutant hematopoietic cells or inhibition by a neutralizing anti-IL-1β antibody restricted the early clonal expansion of these JAK2 -mutant HSCs resulting in a reduced frequency of a CHIP-like state and a lower rate of conversion to MPN. The MPN disease-promoting effects of IL-1β were associated with damage to sympathetic innervation leading to loss of nestin-positive mesenchymal stromal cells and required the presence of IL-1R1 on bone marrow stromal cells. The anti-IL-1β antibody protected these mesenchymal stromal cells from IL-1β mediated damage and limited the expansion of the JAK2 -mutant clone. Our results identify IL-1β as a potential therapeutic target for preventing the transition from JAK2 -V617F CHIP to MPN. Brief summary In a mouse model of oligo-clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), IL-1β produced by JAK2 -mutant cells favored expansion of sub-clinical JAK2 -V617F clones and initiation of MPN disease.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.05.21.541610","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.1101/2023.05.21.541610","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.696Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4454918","name":"미국의 중장기 통상전략과 한미 협력 방안 (U.S. Medium- to Long-term Trade Strategies and Korea-U.S. Cooperation Plans)","source":"preprints","abstract":"Korean Abstract: 최근의 다양한 경제·통상 이슈에 대한 대응뿐만 아니라 각 이슈별로도 국제사회에서의 협력 방안을 마련하기 위해 글로벌 차원의 논의가 미국을 중심으로 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 미국이 추진하고 있는 자국 중심의 공급망 재편, 디지털 전환 및 무역규범 표준 설정, 2050년 탄소중립 목표 달성을 위한 기후변화 대응, 개도국을 대상으로 한 개발협력 확대를 주요 경제 및 통상 이슈로 선정하고, 해당 이슈별로 미국의 입장 및 대응 전략을 파악한다. 또한 이를 바탕으로 한국의 중장기 대미 통상 전략 및 협력 방안을 도출한다. English Abstract: Recently, not only responses to various major economic and trade issues, but also discussions at the global level to prepare measures for cooperation in the international community for each issue are taking place, centering on the U.S. Due to external shocks at the global level, such as the hegemony competition between the U.S. and China and the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. and other major countries have begun to consider ways to change their existing supply chains based on cost-efficiency to resilient supply chains for major materials essential totheir national security. In addition, the intensifying spread of the coronavirus has prompted the expansion of non-face-to-face economic activities such as telecommuting and online shopping. Accordingly, it has become more important to discuss standard digital trade norms to support a digital platform economy. Moreover, the Biden administration announced its 2050 carbon net-zero goal to respond to climate change while implementing related policies and leading discussions on climate change response in the global community. Lastly, as each country's policy measures are being used to recover from the economic damage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, major countries including the U.S. and South Korea have paid more attention to development cooperation policies targeting developing countries. Therefore, this study tried to derive South Korea's future trade strategy and cooperation measures with the U.S. by identifying the U.S. position and response strategy for each of the major economic and trade issues previously mentioned.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4454918","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4454918","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2023.09.12.557322","name":"Selective advantage of mutant stem cells in clonal hematopoiesis occurs by attenuating the deleterious effects of inflammation and aging","source":"preprints","abstract":"Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) arises when hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) acquire mutations in genes, including DNMT3A and TET2 , conferring a competitive advantage through a mechanism that remains unclear.

English Abstract: This study takes Japan's digital transformation policy as a research topic after the COVID-19 pandemic. The scope of digital transformation is relatively broad, such as digital government, digital transformation of industries, and building of digital industrial infrastructure. First, the Japanese government's digitalization in the administrative field, that is, the digital government policy, focuses on regulatory reform in the public domain, standardization of information systems between the government and local governments, and regulatory reform in the private sector. There is a general recognition that Japan is lagging behind Korea in terms of digital government, but in the field of private use of public data, Japan has already enacted the ‘Public-Private Data Basic Act’ in 2016 and many local governments have established public-private data utilization promotion plans. In Korea, among the so-called '3 Acts on Digital Transformation' submitted to the National Assembly in June 2021, the ‘Data Basic Act’ can be highly evaluated in that it lays the legal foundation to promote the use of public data by the private sector. However, it seems that the work of building a public information data base like Japan's 'Base Registry' should be accelerated. In relation to regulatory reform, the Korean government needs to closely review the Japanese government's permit for telemedicine in the course of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Japanese government's regulatory reform in the medical field is ahead of Korea's as shown in the permission of online sales of over-the-counter drugs in 2014. Second, this study analyzed the Japanese government's digital transformation policies and corporate trends in manufacturing, agriculture, and infrastructure and logistics sectors. The Korean government’s ‘Digital New Deal’ policy also emphasizes digital transformation in industrial fields such as smart industrial complexes, smart cities, and smart logistics systems, but in terms of policy directions and technological capabilities to pursue in each area, it is necessary to closely examine the Japanese cases to promote domestic distribution and dissemination. In the manufacturing sector, it is necessary to refer to the ‘Common Data Connecting Project’ supported by the Japanese government through pilot projects. At the corporate level, it is worth noting that Japanese manufacturing companies are focusing on industrial digital platforms by attracting related companies that go beyond factory automation to the entire supply chain. Japanese construction companies are also using digital platforms for remote management of construction sites as well as building management. Regarding the smart agriculture policy of the Korean government, it is necessary to pay attention to the Japanese government’s ‘Smart Agriculture Demonstration Project’. The Japanese government is implementing various pilot projects in a way that applies the so-called 4th industrial revolution-based technologies such as robot tractors, drones, sensors, cloud services, and AI to local agricultural field by establishing an public-private cooperation system. On the other hand, in the field of infrastructure and logistics, the Korean government also needs to actively introduce digital transformation work for urban planning like the Japanese government’s Plateau project. As of November 2021, 56 cities in Japan have developed large-scale 3D city models through the Plateau project, and in the future, use cases involving private companies will be developed in terms of the use of 3D city models to promote smart city development. Third, the digital infrastructure field needs to be approached from the perspective of economic cooperation between Korea and Japan. The Japanese government is focusing on supporting technology development in the post 5G mobile networks, but the weak competitiveness of Japanese companies in the field of 5G communication equipment provides room for Korea-Japan cooperation in the future. And, although the Japanese government is making plans to relocate its domestic data centers, there seems to be no way to hedge Japan's geopolitical risks such as earthquakes. From this point of view, the Korean government needs to consider ways to attract Japanese companies' data centers, just as it did immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011. Lastly, the Japanese government is also very active in fostering the domestic cloud service industry. Especially, the Korean government and companies need to be interested in the hybrid cloud system and super-decentralized cloud architecture that the Japanese government has designated as key support areas, and prepare a plan for cooperation with Japanese companies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4203084","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4203084","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202207.0339.v1","name":"Optimizing Public Health Preparedness for Highly Infectious Diseases in Central Vietnam","source":"preprints","abstract":"Our primary objectives were a) to determine the need for, and the availability of point-of-care testing (POCT) for infectious diseases and b) to recommend point-of-care testing strategies and spatial care paths (SCPs) that enhance public health preparedness in regional districts of Thua Thien Hue Province (TTHP), Central Vietnam, where we conducted field surveys. Medical professionals in 7 community health centers (CHCs), 7 district hospitals (DHs) and 1 provincial hospital (PH) participated. Survey questions (English and Vietnamese) determined the status of diagnostic testing capabilities for infectious diseases and other acute medical challenges in TTHP. Infectious disease testing was limited: 6 of 7 CHCs (86%) lacked infectious disease tests. One CHC (14%, 1/7) had two forms of diagnostic tests available for the detection of Malaria. All CHCs lacked adequate microbiology laboratories. District hospitals had few diagnostic tests for infectious diseases (Tuberculosis, Syphilis), blood culture (29%, 2/7), and pathogen culture (57%, 4/7) available. The PH had broader diagnostic testing capabilities but lacked preparedness for highly infectious disease threats (e.g., Ebola, MERS-CoV, SARS, Zika, and Monkeypox). All sites reported having COVID-19 rapid antigen tests; COVID-19 RT-PCR tests were limited to higher tier hospitals. We conclude that infectious disease diagnostic testing should be improved and POC tests must be supplied near patients homes and in primary care settings for the early detection of infected individuals and mitigation of the spread of new COVID-19 variants and other highly infectious diseases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202207.0339.v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.20944/preprints202207.0339.v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4048830","name":"Health Care Delivery and Keeping the Workplace Safe in the COVID Pandemic: Results of a Cross-Sectional Survey of Hospitals Delivering Care Under the National Health Insurance Scheme in India","source":"preprints","abstract":"Hospital systems in the Covid pandemic are challenged with the dual responsibility of delivering non-Covid and Covid care. To assess the impact of Covid pandemic on hospital services and challenges faced by frontline healthcare workers (HCWs), a cross-sectional web-based national survey was done for hospitals empanelled under the National Health Insurance scheme. 461 hospitals from 20 states and union territories participated in the survey. There was a significant decline in in-hospital procedures and surgeries (77.8%). OPD services were mainly through tele-consultation (52.3%). Most hospitals (57.1%) wanted elective surgeries and procedures to be postponed till the flattening of Covid curve. Others (36.9%) wanted to resume surgeries once protective gear and pre-procedure Covid testing for patients were available. 49.5% hospitals had shortage of staff even in critical care and dialysis units. Of HCWs posted in Covid areas, 61.2% suffered from stress and wanted effective personal protective equipment, regular testing, and, decent quarantine facilities. Respondents suggested hiring of more HCWs to limit viral exposure and allow fixed working hours with proper breaks; regular training to handle the hazardous contagion and update HCWs with latest treatment protocols to instill confidence; and setting up neuropsychiatry helplines/sessions for mental counseling, yoga, and pranayama to ameliorate stress.

( English Abstract ) The U.S.-China rivalry and COVID-19 have increased the supply chain's vulnerability and reshaped the global value chain. Korea and Australia signed a memorandum of understanding on December 2021 for cooperation in the area of critical mineral supply chains, carbon-neutral technology and a clean hydrogen economy. Accordingly, this study analyzes Australia’s policy on critical minerals and hydrogen, and the current status of international cooperation. Based on this, effective measures to strengthen the supply chain cooperation between Korea and Australia are derived.This study proposes three methods to stabilize the hydrogen supply chain. First, Korea and Australia should conduct more demonstration projects to evaluate the commercial and technical feasibility of hydrogen cooperation projects, as the formation of the hydrogen supply chain is at an early stage. Second, technical development of hydrogen transportation is required to introduce hydrogen produced in Australia to Korea. This development will facilitate the hydrogen transportation sector and establish the entire hydrogen industry cycle. Third, policy efforts are required to preoccupy global hydrogen technology standards and reflect Korea’s opinions in international standardization organizations through cooperation with Australia.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4452984","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4452984","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-637584/v1","name":"Carbon intensity of oil and gas production","source":"preprints","abstract":"This report focuses on reviewing the types of carbon intensity metrics, and the use of such metrics across the oil and gas sector, to monitor progress towards transitioning away from fossil fuel production. Producers are under pressure to respond to challenging conditions resulting from increasing climate policy, tightening markets and a move away by investors. A number of commentators are suggesting that production may have peaked, given these emerging trends, and the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.From a combination of review and modelling, this report provides some key insights on carbon intensity metrics and the impact of different carbon intensities on future production, which are pertinent to the future strategies of the oil and gas sector -·Narrow-scoped metrics that only include upstream emissions are insufficient for producers reporting on progress towards climate goals. The carbon intensity of the final product also needs to be considered, given that it is increasingly subject to increased demand-side policy e.g. in relation to carbon pricing, bans on the sale of internal combustion engines (ICEs) etc.·Given that climate targets are expressed in absolute terms, the relative measure of progress provided by carbon intensity metrics is insufficient to guide progress towards net-zero emissions. As shown by the modelling, there is a significant decline in the levels of production permitted under climate targets by 2050. ·Given the need for diversification, metrics that account for scope 3 emissions will be important, to help monitor the transformation away from oil and gas. As discussed in this report, a number of IOCs appear to be making small steps in this direction, although their key business focus very much remains on oil & gas. As the IEA (2020a) has reported, less than 1% of capital expenditure is being spent outside of core business areas.·However, cleaner operations are also important. Therefore, scope 1&2 metrics are still useful for minimising upstream emissions. The modelling highlights the impact for example of high carbon intensity gas resources (due to methane emissions) on their production levels. Unconventional resources, which tend to require more energy input per unit of extraction, and are more costly, appear unlikely to be exploited in our Paris-aligned case.·Any assertion that higher carbon intensity production upstream can be offset by lower emissions downstream (e.g. via higher vehicle efficiency standards) is not supported by the modelling. This is particularly the case where these oil products are exported abroad to regions with low efficiency forms of transportation/limited environmental regulation.·National oil companies (NOCs) have more potential to achieve emission reduction from operational emissions, although the incentives to do so might be lower (with far less scrutiny and reporting). Diversification is also likely to be more of a challenge for NOCs, due to the reliance of public budgets on revenues gained. However, a number of high-producing countries are vigorously exploring diversification strategies. Such strategies could include massively increasing support for renewable industries, and focusing on areas such as hydrogen production and CCS applications.·For the large NOC producers, with the lowest-cost conventional reserves, it is likely that they may be able to continue producing for the longest time, as climate policy stringency increases. However, given that NOCs hold the largest reserves, risks of stranding will be greater in absolute terms.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-637584/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-637584/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"oa:W2281905532","name":"Collaborative relationships between logistics service providers and humanitarian organizations during disaster relief operations","source":"openalex","abstract":"Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore barriers and benefits of establishing relationships between humanitarian organizations (HOs) and logistics service providers (LSPs) in order to improve humanitarian disaster relief operations (DROs).

The function of these compounds in algae is to carry out photosynthesis. They have a great variety of pigments, which can be classified into three large groups: chlorophylls, carotenoids, and phycobilins. Within the carotenoids are xanthophylls. Xanthophylls (fucoxanthin, astaxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, and β-cryptoxanthin) are a type of carotenoids with anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory activities, due to their chemical structure rich in double bonds that provides them with antioxidant properties. In this context, xanthophylls can protect other molecules from oxidative stress by turning off singlet oxygen damage through various mechanisms. Based on clinical studies, this review shows the available information concerning the bioactivity and biological effects of the main xanthophylls present in algae. In addition, the algae with the highest production rate of the different compounds of interest were studied. It was observed that fucoxanthin is obtained mainly from the brown seaweeds Laminaria japonica, Undaria pinnatifida, Hizikia fusiformis, Sargassum spp., and Fucus spp. The main sources of astaxanthin are the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, Chlorella zofingiensis, and Chlorococcum sp. Lutein and zeaxanthin are mainly found in algal species such as Scenedesmus spp., Chlorella spp., Rhodophyta spp., or Spirulina spp. However, the extraction and purification processes of xanthophylls from algae need to be standardized to facilitate their commercialization. Finally, we assessed factors that determine the bioavailability and bioaccesibility of these molecules. We also suggested techniques that increase xanthophyll’s bioavailability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/md19040188","authors":["Antía G.

However, the development of electrocatalytic nitrate‐to‐ammonia reduction reaction (NO 3 − RR) has been hampered by high overpotential and low Faradaic efficiency. Here we develop an iron single‐atom catalyst coordinated with nitrogen and phosphorus on hollow carbon polyhedron (denoted as Fe−N/P−C) as a NO 3 − RR electrocatalyst. Owing to the tuning effect of phosphorus atoms on breaking local charge symmetry of the single‐Fe‐atom catalyst, it facilitates the adsorption of nitrate ions and enrichment of some key reaction intermediates during the NO 3 − RR process. The Fe−N/P−C catalyst exhibits 90.3 % ammonia Faradaic efficiency with a yield rate of 17980 μg h −1 mg cat −1 , greatly outperforming the reported Fe‐based catalysts. Furthermore, operando SR‐FTIR spectroscopy measurements reveal the reaction pathway based on key intermediates observed under different applied potentials and reaction durations. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the optimized free energy of NO 3 − RR intermediates is ascribed to the asymmetric atomic interface configuration, which achieves the optimal electron density distribution. This work demonstrates the critical role of atomic‐level precision modulation by heteroatom doping for the NO 3 − RR, providing an effective strategy for improving the catalytic performance of single atom catalysts in different electrochemical reactions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ange.202308044","authors":["Jingwen Xu","Shengbo Zhang","Hengjie Liu","Shuang Liu","Yuan Yuan","Yahan Meng","Mingming Wang","Chunyue Shen","Qia Peng","Jinghao Chen","Xiaoyang Wang","Li Song","Ke Li","Wei Chen"],"tags":["Catalysis","Faraday efficiency","Chemistry","Overpotential","Ammonia production"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ange.202308044","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z"},{"id":"oa:W7117304453","name":"From Ecological Function to Economic Value: Forest Carbon Sinks and Regional Sustainable Growth in China","source":"openalex","abstract":"Forest carbon sinks (FCS)—referring specifically to ecosystem-based carbon sequestration provided by forest ecosystems—are being increasingly recognized as a strategic form of natural capital under China’s “dual carbon” goals.

Two solar‐powered soil probes with multiple capacitance sensors were installed from July to October in 2021 and May to October in 2022 and 2023 to monitor soil moisture every 30 min at 10‐, 20‐, 40‐, 60‐, 80‐, and 100‐cm depths. Daily average SWS at the root zone (0‐ to 40‐cm depth) was significantly higher ( p < 0.0001) under SH management compared to CV management. Out of the four sites, three showed at least 7% greater SWS in SH management compared to CV management. During extreme drought periods, the SH management sites consistently had at least 13% higher SWS, showing potential for improved soil moisture retention and resilience to drought. Our analysis showed the SH system captured 35% more water than the CV system overall, but inconsistencies across the sites highlight the need for a larger dataset and more in‐depth analysis to better understand these patterns.

The emphasis was converged on elucidating interfacial adsorption, film formation, and surface chemistry that reinforce inhibitor efficacy. A complementary set of electrochemical and surface techniques, including weight loss measurements, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), optical microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), was employed to evaluate the electrochemical response and characterize the inhibitor-modified steel surfaces. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to perform an identification of the main phases of corrosion products and adsorbed films. The adsorption behavior was quantitatively evaluated using several adsorption isotherm models, including Langmuir, Temkin, and Freundlich. Among them, the Frumkin isotherm provided the best description of the experimental data, yielding an average standard free energy of adsorption (Δ G ° ad ) of −20.89 kJ mol –1, which is indicative of predominantly physical adsorption at the steel/electrolyte interface.

Inhibition efficiency correlated positively with inhibitor concentration and followed the trend PIL A > PIL B > PIL C.

Communities are seeking alternative fuels and nations are trying to implement them appropriately. The main alternative is renewable energy, including solar, geothermal, and wind. This systematic review analyzed 39 studies (2010-2024) on renewable energy applications in sports facilities, revealing distinct adoption patterns: solar energy dominated the research (64% of studies), followed by hybrid systems (23%), geothermal (8%), and wind (5%). Our PRISMA-guided analysis shows these renewable sources can be effectively used in sports facilities, especially new ones. Key findings indicate that solar applications achieve average energy savings of 39.1% (34.6-43.6% CI) in studied facilities, while geothermal systems show higher savings at 51.3% (45.8-56.8% CI). The primary emphasis in implementation is placed on solar and hybrid applications at sports stadiums (72% of cases), but geothermal and wind power are rarely employed (15% combined), which can be explained through geographical factors and higher initial costs (average $2.8M vs $1.2M for solar installations). Since these technologies have been advancing over the last few years, their application in sports stadiums and high-energy sports arenas will likely increase. Our review found that facilities adopting renewable energy reduced operational costs by 28-47% annually. Equipping new sport facilities with renewable energies typically makes them more environmentally benign, with demonstrated CO₂ reductions averaging 1,287 tons/year per facility. An important aspect is increased energy efficiency, with hybrid systems showing 47.2% (42.1-52.3% CI) improvement over conventional systems. The integration of renewable energy systems into sports facilities leads to considerable cost savings in the long term (average payback period 6.2 years), demonstrates commitment to environmental stewardship, and aligns facilities with sustainable development principles.","url":"https://doi.org/10.64229/h4apn714","authors":["Ali Safarpour","Saeed Soltani","Marc A.

Although the former approach is more realistic, the majority of studies have used the latter approach. Here, we investigated the variation in egg production and hatching success of Acartia tonsa between these two experimental designs, across five different pCO2 concentrations (385–6000 µatm pCO2). In addition, to determine the effect of pCO2 on the hatching success with no prior parental exposure, eggs produced and fertilized under ambient conditions were also exposed to these pCO2 scenarios. Significant variations were found between experimental designs, with approach (1) resulting in higher impacts; here >20% difference was seen in hatching success between experiments at 1000 µatm pCO2 scenarios (2100 year scenario), and >85% at 6000 µatm pCO2.

One instance of such a separation challenge is presented by biogas, a renewable energy source primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide. The field of flexible metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has garnered significant attention from researchers due to their potential for gas storage and capture applications. The adsorbate-dependent threshold pressure for the phase transition in these MOFs indicates potential for selective gas separation. The incorporation of functionalized ligands in these systems results in two notable effects: the introduction of specific adsorption sites on the internal surface as well as a modification of the flexible gate-opening behavior. Here, we conducted a comparison among different nitrogen-containing ligands (2-aminobenzimidazole, benzotriazole, and 5-azabenzimidazole) incorporated into the flexible MOF ZIF-7. These linkers include a nitrogen atom either in a heterocycle or as an attached functional group. The aim was to evaluate their performance for carbon dioxide–methane separation in a simulated biogas scenario. We further synthesized additional derivatives of the best-performing material, featuring the 5-azabenzimidazole ligand in varying quantities. Breakthrough experiments conducted under actual mixture conditions reveal that there is an optimal ligand exchange point (10%) facilitating the phase transition without significantly enhancing methane adsorption. Density functional theory simulations confirm that increased functionalization led to an easier phase transition due to heightened stability of the open phase resulting from additional hydrogen bonding, coupled with a weakened collapsed phase. To assess the effectiveness of this most-promising material, its performance was compared to the baseline ZIF-7 adsorbent using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) simulations. The enhanced surface affinity toward carbon dioxide, along with a sharper isotherm step and narrower hysteresis, translated to increased selectivity, faster cycling, and reduced process costs due to decreased energy input as shown by optimization opportunities of the high-pressure feed step.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.4c01815","authors":["Lukas W.

While extensive research has focused on metal hydrides, carbon materials, and complex sorbents, biomass-derived silica materials with high purity (90 wt.%), large surface areas (297-895 m2.g-1), and mesopores (3-60 nm) show strong potential for hydrogen storage but remain largely unexplored. This review highlights the synthesis, structural properties, and hydrogen storage potential of biomass-derived functional silica materials, with a particular focus on rice husk (RH) and bamboo as a sustainable and abundant precursor. Two principal silicon extraction strategies, combustion and alkali treatment, are discussed, emphasizing their influence on silica purity, morphology, and amorphous structure retention. Thermochemical processes, including acid leaching and controlled calcination, are shown to be essential for removing impurities and tailoring textural properties such as surface area, pore volume, and pore architecture. RH-derived silica supports exhibit outstanding effectiveness in dispersing transition metals like Ni and Fe, which in turn significantly improve hydrogen sorption kinetics, catalytic efficiency, and the long-term stability of the material. Additionally, the review explores how various synthesis pathways are expected to influence the performance of resulting materials in hydrogen storage systems, noting how structural collapse during reprecipitation or thermal treatment can negate surface advantages if not properly managed. The combined advantages of sustainability, tunable structural properties, and seamless compatibility with existing hydrogen storage strategies position biomass-derived silica as a highly promising next-generation platform for advanced hydrogen storage applications.

For the gold standard approaches, polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, cumbersome operational steps hinder their point-of-care applications. Here, a bionic biomarker entrapment system (BioES) is implemented, which employs a multi-body Y-shaped tetrahedral DNA probe immobilized on carbon nanotube transistors. Clinical identification of endometriosis is successfully realized by detecting an estrogen receptor, ERβ, from the lesion tissue of endometriosis patients and establishing a standard diagnosis procedure. The multi-body Y-shaped BioES achieves a theoretical limit of detection (LoD) of 6.74 aM and a limit of quantification of 141 aM in a complex protein milieu. Furthermore, the BioES is optimized into a multi-site recognition module for enhanced binding efficiency, realizing the first identification of monkeypox virus antigen A35R and unamplified detection of circulating tumor DNA of breast cancer in serum. The rigid and compact probe framework with synergy effect enables the BioES to target A35R and DNA with a LoD down to 991 and 0.21 aM, respectively.

Management legacy has shaped critical zone processes. Management and weather affect landscape heterogeneity and surface–subsurface pathways. In intensively managed landscapes, interactions between surface (tillage) and subsurface (tile drainage) management with prevailing climate/weather alter landscape characteristics, transport pathways, and transformation rates of surface/subsurface water, soil/sediment, and particulate/dissolved nutrients. To capture the high spatial and temporal variability of constituent transport and residence times in the critical zone (between the bedrock and canopy) of these altered landscapes, both storm event and continuous measurements are needed. The Intensively Managed Landscapes Critical Zone Observatory (IML‐CZO) is comprised of three highly characterized, well instrumented, and representative watersheds (i.e., Clear Creek, Iowa; Upper Sangamon River, Illinois; and Minnesota River, Minnesota). It is organized to quantify the heterogeneity in structure and dynamic response of critical zone processes to human activities in the context of the glacial and management (anthropogenic) legacies. Observations of water, sediment, and nutrients are made at nested points of the landscape in the vertical and lateral directions during and between storm events (i.e., continuously). The measurements and corresponding observational strategy are organized as follows. First, reference measurements from surface soil and deep core extractions, geophysical surveys, lidar, and hyperspectral data, which are common across all Critical Zone Observatories, are available. The reference measurements include continuous quantification of energy, water, solutes, and sediment fluxes. The reference measurements are complemented with event‐based measurements unique to IML‐CZO. These measurements include water table fluctuations, enrichment ratios, and roughness as well as bank erosion, hysteresis, sediment sources, and lake/floodplain sedimentation. The coupling of reference and event‐based measurements support testing of the central hypothesis (i.e., system shifts from transformer to transporter in IML‐CZO due to the interplay between management and weather/climate). Data collected since 2014 are available through a data repository and through the Geodashboard interface, which can be used for process‐based model simulations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2136/vzj2018.04.0088","authors":["Christopher G.

The heat transfer fluid (HTF) as water is chosen as the working fluid for the PTC due to its low cost and high specific heat capacity. The calculations are carried out for the PTC on a specific day, time and location, and the simulations for the geothermal power plant (GPP) are carried out using System Advisor Model (SAM) software, assuming a specific increase in the temperature of the geofluid due to the additional heat transfer from the HTF of the PTC. The power plant output is 20 MW powered by four production wells. The results show that the energy production is ~15 GWh in January, which is the highest during the year due to the required energy demand for electricity consumption and district heating.

The rapid and unprecedented changes observed in the Arctic confirm this prediction. Especially significant, observed sea ice loss is altering the exchange of mass, energy, and momentum between the Arctic Ocean and atmosphere. As an important component of air–sea exchange, surface turbulent fluxes are controlled by vertical gradients of temperature and humidity between the surface and atmosphere, wind speed, and surface roughness, indicating that they respond to other forcing mechanisms such as atmospheric advection, ocean mixing, and radiative flux changes. The exchange of energy between the atmosphere and surface via surface turbulent fluxes in turn feeds back on the Arctic surface energy budget, sea ice, clouds, boundary layer temperature and humidity, and atmospheric and oceanic circulations. Understanding and attributing variability and trends in surface turbulent fluxes is important because they influence the magnitude of Arctic climate change, sea ice cover variability, and the atmospheric circulation response to increased CO2. This paper reviews current knowledge of Arctic Ocean surface turbulent fluxes and their effects on climate. We conclude that Arctic Ocean surface turbulent fluxes are having an increasingly consequential influence on Arctic climate variability in response to strong regional trends in the air-surface temperature contrast related to the changing character of the Arctic sea ice cover. Arctic Ocean surface turbulent energy exchanges are not smooth and steady but rather irregular and episodic, and consideration of the episodic nature of surface turbulent fluxes is essential for improving Arctic climate projections.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos9020041","authors":["Patrick C.

The data set contains embodied carbon data granular to structural components (floors, framing, walls, columns, and foundations) and type of structural system (steel or reinforced concrete). The data set is part of a firmwide, and later industrywide, effort to track project emissions but had not yet been analyzed on a quantities-to-emissions basis. The data offer unique opportunities to answer key questions about (1) the relative contributions of structural components to emissions, (2) the relationship between material system choice and resulting quantities, and (3) the relationship between material quantities and embodied carbon. Although such analyses have been performed for synthetic data, these types of findings are novel for large quantities of late-stage design data on structural systems. The findings are compared with recently published synthetic data from the literature, highlighting the importance of coordinating synthetic data efforts with real late-stage design data. In this data set, foundations make up at least a quarter of a structural system’s emissions, and floors contribute to half of superstructure emissions—the highest average contribution of all superstructure components. The large variability of relative contributions of floors and foundations to emissions across the data set suggest that floors and foundations are particular opportunities for embodied carbon reduction within structural design conventions represented by the firm’s data set. Under the assumed material carbon coefficients, the analyses suggest that using less structural material could be more likely to reduce emissions than choosing between concrete and steel construction types. As structural engineering firms expand their efforts to track project quantities, this analysis framework demonstrates valuable outcomes of such data efforts, such as the ability to compare the relative importance of material efficiency with material system selection during design.

In addition, the deficiency of triple‐phase boundaries (containing Li+, e− and O2) limits the active sites for electrochemical reaction in the battery cathode. Herein, an integrated architecture based on a garnet electrolyte Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO) and a porous composite cathode for high‐performance all‐solid‐state Li‐O2 batteries is developed. The unique internal structure effectively reduces the interfacial impedance of the battery, provides a large number of active sites at triple‐phase boundaries and increases the electrochemical stability. As a result, the obtained batteries can deliver a superior high full discharge capacity of 13.04 mA h cm−2 and an excellent cyclic performance (86 cycles). In addition, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, differential electrochemical mass spectrometry and theoretical calculations further demonstrate the effectiveness of this design in enhancing the interfacial performance, electrochemical performance, and stability of the battery.

The framework is applied to Jiangsu Province, China, across 13 prefecture-level cities, using 1995–2020 historical data and three 2030 scenarios. Model performance is validated against observed 2020 land use, with an overall Kappa coefficient of 0.82.

Relying on widely available data, the framework demonstrates strong methodological transferability for comparable subnational systems, provided that local parameters and sink coefficients are properly recalibrated.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/systems14070872","authors":["Ge Shi","Yue Wang","Jiantao Shi","C J Chen","Lin Sun","Wei Wang"],"tags":["Operationalization","Metropolitan area","Carbon sequestration","Divergence (linguistics)","Workflow"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/systems14070872","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z"},{"id":"oa:W4296142244","name":"Digestate Management and Processing Practices: A Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"The implementation of sustainable agro-energy systems that integrate crop, livestock, and bioenergy production is attracting increasing interest from farmers. Livestock produces large amounts of animal manure which can serve as organic fertilizer for crops and pasture growth. However, the nutrients contained in manure can adversely affect air, water, and soil quality and pose a public health risk if not handled properly. Existing manure management practices vary widely on a global scale. Researchers are striving to identify appropriate manure management practices with the aim of environmental protection. Anaerobic digestion of manure and subsequent digestate (DG) processing technologies have been proposed to stabilize manure so that it can be safely used for land applications. DG, which represents digested substrate removed from the anaerobic reactor after recovery of biogas, is a rich source of N, P, K, and S, various micronutrients, and organic matter, the addition of which to the soil can stimulate soil microbial biomass metabolic activities thus improving soil ecosystem function. However, the optimal fertilization properties of DG can be lost if it is neither fully stabilized nor contains biodegradable materials. To overcome these problems, various processing technologies can be used to convert DG into value-added by-products. Composting has been proposed as one such preferred post-treatment that can convert DG into mature, stable, safe, humus- and nutrient-rich compost. Other processing technologies such as thermal drying, gasification, hydrothermal carbonization, pyrolysis, membrane filtration, struvite precipitation, ammonia stripping, and evaporation have also been proposed for DG processing and nutrient recovery from DG. The objective of this review paper was to provide an overview of the current state of the art in DG management regulations and practices and to provide an update on the various processes that have been developed to meet DG stabilization requirements, with a focus on composting as one of the preferred solutions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app12189216","authors":["Đurđica Kovačić","Zdenko Lončarić","Jurica Jović","Danijela Samac","Brigita Popović","Marina Tišma"],"tags":["Digestate","Manure","Environmental science","Anaerobic digestion","Biogas"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-09-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app12189216","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z"},{"id":"oa:W4319069513","name":"The global biomass and number of terrestrial arthropods","source":"openalex","abstract":"Insects and other arthropods are central to terrestrial ecosystems.

There are also more concentrated forms of soy proteins, i.e. concentrates and isolates, which are also suitable raw materials for adhesive production except that their prices are higher. Extensive research has been carried out on improving the cohesive properties, especially water resistance, of soy-based adhesives. However, there is insufficient experimental data available for understanding the influences of modification methods on the structure of soy proteins and therefore for understanding the influences of structural changes on the adhesion. In this paper, some experimental techniques are proposed to be used for analysing soy-based adhesives to enable better understanding of those factors and improve future development.

In a second scenario where collected manure and underutilised grass silage is routed to anaerobic digestion, the estimated net energy produced is 6124 GWh, with −464 kg CO2 equivalent/person. A third scenario, combining anaerobic digestion and pyrolysis, also produces 6124 GWh and 200 kilo tonnes of biochar (retaining 64% of manure phosphorus), −563 kg CO2 equivalent/person.

In the context of climate change, these development needs are challenged by the vital goal of CO2 mitigation. This paper investigates plausible trade-offs between electrification and CO2 mitigation in a developing country context, taking Indonesia as a case study. Aligned with the 2015 Paris Agreement, the Government of Indonesia has announced its voluntary pledge to reduce 29% of its GHGs emissions against the business as usual scenario by 2030. 11% of this should be attained by the energy sector. We incorporate the Indonesian Paris pledge into the modelling of capacity expansion of the Java-Bali power system, which is the largest power system in Indonesia. The LEAP model is used for the analysis in this study. Firstly, we validate the LEAP model using historical data of the national electricity system. Secondly, we develop and analyse four scenarios of the Java-Bali power system expansion from the base year 2015 through to 2030. These include a reference scenario (REF) to reflect a continuation of the present energy mix (REF), then a shift from coal to natural gas (NGS) (natural gas), followed by an expansion of renewable energy (REN) and, finally, the least-cost option (OPT). The shift to natural gas decreases future CO2 emissions by 38.2 million ton, helping to achieve the CO2 mitigation target committed to. Likewise, an escalation of renewable energy development in the Java-Bali islands cuts the projected CO2 emissions by 38.9 million ton and, thus, assures meeting the target. The least-cost scenario attains the targeted emission reduction, but at 33% and 52% lower additional costs compared to NGS and REN, respectively.

This natural reserve is diminishing at an alarming rate with crude oil having reserves to last the earth for the next half a century. As a result, researchers are constantly seeking remedial technologies to close this gap. Thermochemical conversion processes such as pyrolysis, gasification and liquefaction (PGL) offer an alternative solution to mitigating the world's high reliance on crude oil. These processes can be employed to provide energy, fuel and high-end value-added products. This paper aims to highlight all the research and development advancements and trends that have been made over the past three decades while employing waste tyres and other feedstock. In addition, the prominent countries and their associated researchers who have made novel discoveries in the field of thermochemical conversion are extensively discussed. The research findings show that significant research outputs such as the utilization of vast types of feed materials, the reaction mechanisms, the factors affecting the processes, and the application of the different end-products for thermochemical processes are well documented in the literature. Also, the collected data showed that significant advancements have been achieved in developing PGL technologies. The following conclusions were drawn: (i) PGL technologies show a generally increasing percentage interest from 1990 to 2020, (ii) many authors have identified the end-products obtained from waste feedstocks, such as; waste tyres, biomass, plastics, food waste, microalgae and animal manure to yield promising application benefits, (iii) China has shown the greatest interest in investing into waste to energy initiatives and has demonstrated the vast applications of waste derived products and, (iv) employing waste tyres as a feedstock has shown potential for producing high-end value products in their crude form or refined form. Some of the shortcomings identified during the study are the modest interest shown by most African regions as well as the lack of regulatory frameworks developed by certain countries.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d0ra08966d","authors":["Nhlanhla Nkosi","Edison Muzenda","Joshua Gorimbo","M.

Reduced lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) production costs due to economies of scale, electrode material and cell design developments, and manufacturing process improvements have driven this success. This trend is expected to increase the number of LIBs on the market that may be discarded in the environment at the end of their useful life if more sustainable alternatives are not technologically mature.

Previous studies have indicated that the performance of MXenes in catalyzing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is influenced by their surface termination groups. However, our understanding of how these groups affect electrocatalytic performance remains limited, especially for nitride MXenes. This work investigates the effects of termination group modification on the HER and ORR activity of Ti 4 N 3 nitride MXene in alkaline media. Ti 4 N 3 MXene was synthesized via oxygen-assisted molten salt fluoride etching and delaminated using different solvents, including tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAOH), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), water (H 2 O), and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH). Characterization through FTIR, EDS, and XPS revealed that all delaminated MXenes have hydroxyl and fluoro terminations, with the former being the predominant group. Among the samples, Ti 4 N 3 delaminated with TBAOH (referred to as Ti 4 N 3 -TBAOH) had the highest −OH surface coverage. While the initial HER activity was comparable for all the nitride samples, we observed different onset and overpotentials after activation through chronopotentiometry, likely due to the removal of the passivation layer and the consequent increase in the −OH surface coverage. Ti 4 N 3 -TMAOH demonstrated the highest improvement, with a nearly 300-mV decrease in the overpotential at −10 mA/cm 2 . For the ORR activity, all OH-terminated Ti 4 N 3 MXenes exhibited very similar onset and half-wave potentials despite having different surface coverages. Overall, our results show that while varying the delamination agent alters the coverage of OH/F functional groups, it does not significantly affect the overall catalytic performance, which offers flexibility when preparing nitride MXenes for these applications. These insights provide an experimental basis to further exploration of surface modification of nitride MXenes for fuel cell and water splitting applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acscatal.4c05247","authors":["Eugenie Pranada","Bright Ngozichukwu","Ray Yoo","Denis Johnson","Mark A.

The particular structure of LDH nanocontainers allows them to intercalate a number of corrosion inhibitors and release them on demand under the action of corrosion relevant triggers. Moreover, their flexible use as pigments in paints or as a pre-treatment directly as conversion layers makes their implementation even more convenient. This review presents a critical view to the studies performed till today on LDHs for corrosion protection of aluminum alloys.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apmt.2020.100857","authors":["Anissa C.

We previously identified a cluster of putative DSPs in Arabidopsis (including At3g52180 and At3g01510) in which the phosphatase domain is related to that of laforin, the human protein mutated in Lafora epilepsy. In animal and fungal systems, the laforin DSP and the beta-regulatory subunits of AMP-regulated protein kinase (AMPK) and Snf-1 have all been demonstrated to bind to glycogen by a glycogen-binding domain (GBD). We present a bioinformatic analysis which shows that these DSPs from Arabidopsis, together with other related plant DSPs, share with the above animal and fungal proteins a widespread and ancient carbohydrate-binding domain. We demonstrate that DSP At3g52180 binds to purified starch through its predicted carbohydrate-binding region, and that mutation of key conserved residues reduces this binding. Consistent with its ability to bind exogenous starch, DSP At3g52180 was found associated with starch purified from Arabidopsis plants and suspension cells. Immunolocalization experiments revealed a co-localization with chlorophyll, placing DSP At3g52180 in the chloroplast. Gene-expression data from different stages of the light-dark cycle and across a wide variety of tissues show a strong correlation between the pattern displayed by transcripts of the At3g52180 locus and that of genes encoding key starch degradative enzymes.

The term Anthropocene describes the current period, when the biophysical systems of Earth are being significantly altered by human activities. Although the great acceleration of anthropogenic influences began in the 20th century, the Industrial Revolution has often been proposed as the start of this period. Burning fossil fuels on a large scale, which was the motor of the Industrial Revolution, has disrupted the global climate, with far-reaching consequences for life on Earth. In the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report, it is stated with high confidence that human activities have significantly contributed to an increase in the global mean temperature of approximately 1°C above pre-industrial levels, and with medium confidence that trends in intensity and frequency of some climate and weather extremes have been detected, during which approximately 0.5°C of global warming occurred.1 The average global temperature will continue to rise if current greenhouse gas emissions continue. The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) recently reported that the 5 warmest years on record have all occurred in the past 5 years, and that 2010–19 was the warmest decade recorded. C3S also reported that 2019 was globally the second warmest year and that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations continued to rise.2 During 2019 there was extraordinary ice-melt in Greenland and wildfires consumed millions of acres in Siberia, Alaska and Australia.3,4 Brazil’s national institute for space research (INPE) also reported fires burning at a record rate in the Amazon rainforest. The INPE reported an 80% increase in deforestation compared with that in the same period in 2018. This not only threatens local ecosystems but may affect the entire planet, because intact forest absorbs and holds large amounts of CO2.5 The recent Living Planet Report by the World Wildlife Fund and Zoological Society of London provides further evidence that unsustainable human activity is threatening the planet’s natural systems.6 The report shows an overall decline of 60% in species’ population sizes between 1970 and 2014 because of factors such as overexploitation, habitat destruction (e.g. agricultural land expansion and logging), environmental pollution and climate change. The current species extinction rates are between 100 and 1000 times higher than previous background rate.6 The International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List 2019 reported that more than 27 000 species are threatened with extinction (27% of all animal, fungi and plant species assessed).7 A recent study of plants that have become extinct since Carl Linnaeus’ Species Plantarum has concluded that the number of known seed plant extinctions is more than four times that of the Red List.8 Biodiversity is a vital part of Earth’s past, present and future, and a key indicator of planetary health. The ongoing dramatic decline in biodiversity is therefore a problem, and underlying causes must be better understood for effective species conservation and human well-being. The concept of planetary health focuses on the intricate link between human health and the health of natural systems within the biosphere.9–11 Loss of biological diversity alters ecosystems functions and thereby reduces the ability to provide society with the goods and services, including food, necessary to flourish.9–11 The emergence of viruses such as the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), and global environmental change, wildlife, animal markets and food systems (which contribute largely to carbon emissions) are also interrelated.12,13 To increase awareness of current environmental problems and how complex interactions among climate change, infectious agents, environmental pollutants and other stressors, i.e. the exposome, may affect human health, this multidisciplinary review summarizes important scientific l","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ije/dyaa231","authors":["Oskar Karlsson","Joacim Rocklöv","Alizée P.

The chemical interactions between the amine groups and CO 2 give rise to the formation of strong CO 2 adducts, such as alkylammonium carbamates, carbamic acids, and bicarbonates, which enable CO 2 capture even at low driving force, such as with ultradilute CO 2 streams. Among various solid-supported amine sorbents, oligomeric amines infused into oxide solid supports (noncovalently supported) are widely studied due to their ease of synthesis and low cost. This method allows for the construction of amine-rich sorbents while minimizing problems, such as leaching or evaporation, that occur with supported molecular amines. Researchers have pursued improved sorbents by tuning the physical and chemical properties of solid supports and amine phases. In terms of CO 2 uptake, the amine efficiency, or the moles of sorbed CO 2 per mole of amine sites, and uptake rate (CO 2 capture per unit time) are the most critical factors determining the effectiveness of the material. While structure–property relationships have been developed for different porous oxide supports, the interaction(s) of the amine phase with the solid support, the structure and distribution of the organic phase within the pores, and the mobility of the amine phase within the pores are not well understood. These factors are important, because the kinetics of CO 2 sorption, particularly when using the prototypical amine oligomer branched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI), follow an unconventional trend, with rapid initial uptake followed by a very slow, asymptotic approach to equilibrium. This suggests that the uptake of CO 2 within such solid-supported amines is mass transfer-limited. Therefore, improving sorption performance can be facilitated by better understanding the amine structure and distribution within the pores. In this context, model solid-supported amine sorbents were constructed from a highly ordered, mesoporous silica SBA-15 support, and an array of techniques was used to probe the soft matter domains within these hybrid materials. The choice of SBA-15 as the model support was based on its ordered arrangement of mesopores with tunable physical and chemical properties, including pore size, particle lengths, and surface chemistries. Branched PEI─the most common amine phase used in solid CO 2 sorbents─and its linear, low molecular weight analogue, tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), were deployed as the amine phases. Neutron scattering (NS), including small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS), alongside solid-state NMR (ssNMR) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, was used to elucidate the structure and mobility of the amine phases within the pores of the support. Together, these tools, which have previously not been applied to such materials, provided new information regarding how the amine phases filled the support pores as the loading increased and the mobility of those amine phases. Varying pore surface-amine interactions led to unique trends for amine distributions and mobility; for instance, hydrophilic walls (i.e., attractive to amines) resulted in hampered motions with more intimate coordination to the walls, while amines around hydrophobic walls or walls with grafted chains that interrupt amine-wall coordination showed recovered mobility, with amines being more liberated from the walls. By correlating the structural and dynamic properties with CO 2 sorption properties, novel relationships were identified, shedding light on the performance of the amine sorbents, and providing valuable guidance for the design of more effective supported amine sorbents.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.accounts.3c00363","authors":["Hyun June Moon","Jan‐Michael Y.

Water cycle reanalyses, generated by integrating observations into hydrological and land surface models, provide long-term and consistent estimates of key water cycle components. Reanalyses are essential to understand hydrological variability, extreme events such as droughts and floods, and to improve water resource management. Over the past two decades, the assimilation of terrestrial water storage anomaly data from the GRACE and GRACE Follow-On (GRACE/-FO) missions has significantly enhanced these reanalyses, as GRACE/-FO observations uniquely constrain total water storage variability across all terrestrial compartments. Incorporating GRACE/-FO data has led to major advances in representing trends in key hydrological variables, climate-driven changes in the water cycle, and anthropogenic influences such as irrigation-induced groundwater depletion – factors often poorly captured in models. With processing pipelines now being developed for low-latency short-term data products from the upcoming next-generation gravity missions, we expect that low-latency periodically updated reanalyses and analyses from assimilation will become more relevant. However, challenges remain, particularly in resolving mismatches in spatial and temporal resolution between GRACE/-FO observations and high-resolution models, and there is no consensus yet on the optimal approach for assimilating GRACE/-FO data. In light of the upcoming launches of next-generation gravity missions and the development of increasingly sophisticated Earth system modeling frameworks, this review synthesizes insights from approximately 60 GRACE/-FO data assimilation studies in an attempt to converge to best practices. The review reveals that the most effective assimilation strategies leverage (robust modifications of) the classical ensemble Kalman filter and localization techniques, explicitly account for correlated observation errors, and address biases contained in the observations as well as those arising from model perturbations. Unmodeled processes must be carefully handled through signal separation, multi-source assimilation, or removal prior to assimilation. Future directions include developing low-latency products for near-real-time assimilation, integrating enhanced and combined satellite observations, and employing machine-learning approaches for downscaling and hybrid assimilation. Collectively, these strategies provide a pathway toward more accurate, physically consistent, and operationally useful water cycle reanalyses.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-30-985-2026","authors":["Anne Springer","Gabriëlle De Lannoy","Matthew Rodell","Yorck Ewerdwalbesloh","Helena Gerdener","Mehdi Khaki","Bailing Li","F.

Hydrogen can be directly utilised or converted via different Power-to-X pathways to produce fossil-free substitutable products; therefore, their life-cycle emissions were studied to determine whether these solutions could provide sustainable alternatives. Thus, understanding which Power-to-X solution can provide the greatest greenhouse gas emission reduction is crucial. This study provides nine meta-analyses of different pathways to compare climate emissions reductions based on the literature. The minimum, maximum, and average values were estimated for each investigated Power-to-X pathway. The direct use of hydrogen or its service to produce steel, biogas upgrading, protein, or ammonia resulted in over 10 kgCO2 kgH2−1 reductions on average while using low-carbon energy sources. Co-electrolysis can potentially provide higher emission savings owing to lower electricity consumption compared with low-temperature electrolysers. In addition, the possibility of integrating electrochemical synthesis with hydrogen production has great potential, but the usability depends on the advancement of the technology in the future.

Low-emission-factor electric grid mixes containing fossil sources can result in emission savings in many Power-to-X systems. However, using grid mixes that result in emission savings is system-dependent, and the largest emission savings are achieved through renewables or nuclear energy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2024.122772","authors":["Jani Sillman","Jouni Havukainen","Rami Alfasfos","Nashmin Elyasi","Miro Lilja","Vesa Ruuskanen","Emma Laasonen","Lauri Leppäkoski","Ville Uusitalo","Risto Soukka"],"tags":["Power to gas","Renewable energy","Greenhouse gas","Environmental science","Electricity"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2024.122772","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z"},{"id":"oa:W7126055181","name":"RETRACTED: Power for AI Data Centers: Energy Demand, Grid Impacts, Challenges and Perspectives","source":"openalex","abstract":"The demand for computing power has increased at a rate never seen before due to the quick development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and applications.

Producing alternative foods through methods requiring little to no sunlight has been identified as a cost-effective response to these types of GCRs. This preliminary techno-economic assessment evaluates the potential of acetic acid (AA) derived from carbon dioxide (CO2) via microbial electrosynthesis (MES) as an alternative food source for GCRs. Production and retail costs are estimated using net present value analyses for catastrophe and non-catastrophe scenarios. Based on nonstop (24/7) facility construction, the speed of food production ramp-up is estimated from capital expenditures using a reference class forecasting correlation. Potential production bottlenecks are assessed via a global resource requirement analysis. In regular conditions, the production cost of AA produced via MES is estimated at $1.83–$5.20/kg (dry). MES production ramp-up is expected to fulfill less than 1% of global human caloric requirements by the end of the first year after the catastrophe. The retail cost of AA produced via MES in catastrophe conditions is estimated at $6–$15/kg (dry). Potential bottlenecks to ramp-up include high electricity use and platinum dependency, which could be palliated via alternative processes based on gasification or bioelectrodes. AA from MES is not currently recommended as an alternative food for GCRs, because it is significantly more expensive and resource intensive than alternatives. Future research may change this, and could perhaps even enable MES as a sustainable food production method outside of catastrophes, given its potential for CO2 utilization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clet.2021.100139","authors":["Juan B.

This concept has gained immense popularity in recent times owing to its ability to boost income per unit of land area significantly. The scope of AV systems is quite extensive, as it encompasses solar energy converters and other renewable energy sources like bioenergy. Current strategies for agrovoltaic (AV) in agriculture are the outcome of the gradual development of agroecology and the integration of photovoltaic (PV) power supply into the grid. These approaches could lead to a nearly doubled income per unit area. Without on‐site power supply, reduced chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and on‐site yield processing, AV has the potential to revolutionize large‐scale unmanned precision agriculture and smart farming. These approaches might lead to significant changes in the logistics and value‐added production chain, thereby reducing agriculture's carbon footprint. In the future, it is possible to reduce the cost of AV technology by half by utilizing decommissioned solar panels in the technology and to delay the need for bulk PV recycling by several years.

Here, we use a global data‐assimilated ocean biogeochemical model to diagnose the seasonal variability of carbon export and sequestration by these gravitational, migrant, and mixing pumps. The total carbon export and sequestration are 10.2 ± 0.8 PgC yr −1 and 1,339 ± 17 PgC, respectively, similar to previous estimates that did not consider seasonality. However, the seasonality of the export and sequestration pathways is highly variable, especially in the high latitudes. In subpolar regions, the seasonal amplitude of the pumps is ∼40%–60% of the annual mean: export and sequestration by the gravitational and migrant pumps peak in the summer, while the mixing pump strongly opposes this seasonality, reaching a maximum during the winter. The sequestration time of exported carbon is generally higher during winter than summer in the subpolar regions, helping to augment carbon sequestration during the less productive winter months. The gravitational “e‐ratio,” or ratio of gravitational carbon export to net primary production, has a seasonal variability of ∼0.1 at high latitudes, with higher values in the summer compared to winter.

If so, a broadly-applicable theory might be developed that predicts common microbiological behaviours. Microbial systems biologists have been working out the contours of this theory for the last two decades, guided by experimental data. At its foundations lie basic principles from evolutionary biology, enzyme biochemistry, metabolism, cell composition and steady-state growth. The theory makes predictions about fitness costs and benefits of protein expression, physicochemical constraints on cell growth and characteristics of optimal metabolisms that maximise growth rate. Comparisons of the theory with experimental data indicates that microorganisms often aim for maximisation of growth rate, also in the presence of stresses; they often express optimal metabolisms and metabolic proteins at optimal concentrations. This review explains the current status of the theory for microbiologists; its roots, predictions, experimental evidence and future directions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/femsre/fuaa034","authors":["Frank J.

N 2 O, with 273 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), is also indirectly emitted through transformations of reactive nitrogen (N r ) species, like NH 3 and NO x, in natural environments. Understanding ammonia’s climate impact is crucial for evaluating its efficacy as a fossil fuel alternative. We present a functional model to quantify the climate impact of renewable-based (e-ammonia) and natural-gas-based (blue and gray) ammonia, focusing on direct and indirect N 2 O emissions. The model incorporates N r emissions─NH 3, NO x, and N 2 O─across the value chain under “low”, “medium”, and “high” emissions scenarios, along with production and pilot fuel GHG emissions. Results show that e-ammonia’s climate benefit depends on well-to-wake N r emissions and natural processes that control relevant nitrogen to indirect N 2 O (N-to-N 2 O i ) conversion pathways. In a low emissions scenario, its CO 2 -equivalent intensity is 68–80% lower than fuel oil, assuming 1–10% N-to-N 2 O i conversion. In a high emissions scenario, this benefit drops to 11–23% for 1–2% N-to-N 2 O i conversion, and at 5–10% N-to-N 2 O i conversion, e-ammonia’s impact exceeds fuel oil by >24%. Blue ammonia could bring ∼30% climate benefit compared to fuel oil, but only in a low emissions scenario with 1–2% N-to-N 2 O i conversion. While more data on emissions and N-to-N 2 O i conversion are needed, minimizing NH 3, NO x, and N 2 O emissions is crucial to maximizing ammonia’s climate benefits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.4c13135","authors":["Sofia Esquivel‐Elizondo","Blake Walkowiak","Stavroula S.

Drawing inspiration from the energy‐storage jumping mechanism of jumping beetles, a tuneable multimodal jumping robot (Tumro) capable of executing multimodal movements including wheeled locomotion and ground‐based jumping, which can achieve a jump height of up to 3 m and swiftly recover its wheeled crawling state without requiring posture correction post‐jump, is presented. Through a specific structural design, the robot can storage energy and switch motions to jump in the desired direction based on the preset angle according to actual demand. The jumping process is thoroughly analyzed, and the kinematics and dynamics models are derived in meticulous detail. In addition, the performance of the robot is comprehensively assessed from aspects of wheel action versus vertical jump capability, power consumption, and endurance across various motion modes.

To analyse carbon reduction cooperation in transnational supply chains under CBAM, this study develops a biform differential game model involving a distributor in HCRC and two manufacturers (from HCRC and LCRC) supplying homogeneous products. Within this framework, supply chain members cooperate in carbon reduction while independently setting the wholesale prices or retail prices. The findings reveal a key distinction between cooperative and non-cooperative modes: under non-cooperation, pricing and emission reduction decisions remain static, whereas under cooperation, they dynamically evolve and gradually stabilise. Moreover, as the CBAM price increases, distributors in the cooperative model increase the LCRC product sales but reduce them in the non-cooperative setting. Consequently, under cooperation, the distributor’s profit increases with CBAM prices, while under non-cooperation, the profit follows an inverse U-shaped pattern. Finally, the cooperative mechanism enhances sales, emission reductions, and both LCRC and HCRC manufacturers’ profits compared to the non-cooperative model. However, the distributor achieves higher profits only when CBAM prices are sufficiently high, and thus should adopt the cooperative strategy under the same condition.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00207543.2026.2616421","authors":["Xiao-Xue Zheng","Yongkang Lu","Fu Jia","Lenny Koh","Yu Xiong"],"tags":["Differential game","Supply chain","Economics","Microeconomics","Reduction (mathematics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00207543.2026.2616421","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z"},{"id":"oa:W7131790657","name":"Carbon Sequestration Enhancement by Irrigation in a Mediterranean Pine Forest","source":"openalex","abstract":"Sequestration of atmospheric CO2 in the Yatir Mediterranean semi-arid Aleppo Pine Forest (Pinus halepensis) close to the border of the semi-arid timberline was characterized and quantified under field conditions.

Our framework has served its purpose well, embedding smart development in all we do in response to client needs and priorities. We will therefore extend the Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP). In response to the Board’s request, Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) will perform an evaluation of the CCAP. In line with our work on the scorecard, we will complete our shift from inputs to outcomes to maximize development impact. We will retire the 45% climate co-benefits target and the 35% target in the CCAP. We have done significant work in answering client demand and needs. Further progress on outcomes will continue to be driven by client ambition and enabled by the work of the Knowledge Bank, consistent with countries’ international commitments. We will continue to track and report on our two scorecard indicators on (i) net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and (ii) beneficiaries with enhanced resilience to climate risks. The WBG will continue its work to strengthen its outcome measurement methodology and keep engaging with other Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs). We will continue to report to the Board on progress, including on climate co-benefits, and to contribute to our related joint MDB efforts. Reporting will apply, as is the case today, for all projects, as well as quarterly and annually for the portfolio, through existing channels. We will explore and discuss ways to better structure our engagement on adaptation, nature and pollution. Update 2025: The World Bank Group Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) has been extended until June 30, 2026, with no other changes. First published in 2021: The Climate Change Action Plan 2021–2025 aims to advance the climate change aspects of the WBG’s Green, Resilient, and Inclusive Development (GRID) approach, which pursues poverty eradication and shared prosperity with a sustainability lens. In the Action Plan, we will support countries and private sector clients to maximize the impact of climate finance, aiming for measurable improvements in adaptation and resilience and measurable reductions in GHG emissions. The Action Plan also considers the vital importance of natural capital, biodiversity, and ecosystems services and will increase support for nature-based solutions, given their importance for both mitigation and adaptation. As part of our effort to drive climate action, the WBG has a long-standing record of participating in key partnerships and high-level forums aimed at enhancing global efforts to address climate change. The new Action Plan represents a shift from efforts to “green” projects, to greening entire economies, and from focusing on inputs, to focusing on impacts. It focuses on (i) integrating climate and development; (ii) identifying and prioritizing action on the largest mitigation and adaptation opportunities; and (iii) using those to drive our climate finance and leverage private capital in ways that deliver the most results. That means helping the largest emitters flatten the emissions curve and accelerate the downward trend and ramping up financing on adaptation to help countries and private sector clients prepare for and adapt to climate change while pursuing broader development objectives through the GRID approach.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/35799","authors":["World Bank Group"],"tags":["Climate change","Action plan","Action (physics)","Group (periodic table)","Plan (archaeology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-06-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1596/35799","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z"},{"id":"oa:W3019303980","name":"Symposium review: Future of housing for dairy cattle","source":"openalex","abstract":"The objective of this review was to describe recent changes and expected developments in housing systems for dairy cows.

Increased labor efficiency has been an important driver of the change from tie-stall barns to cubicle barns (also known as freestall barns). In future housing systems, the natural behavior of cows, climate control, emissions of ammonia and greenhouse gases, reuse of waste, manure quality, the aesthetics of buildings in the landscape, and capital efficiency are becoming increasingly important elements. To address future requirements, new concepts beyond cubicle barns must be developed. Freewalk housing systems; that is, loose housing systems without cubicles, would meet some of these future demands. These systems operate with composting bedding material or artificial permeable floors as lying and walking areas. However, these barns are still in development. Combinations of cubicle and freewalk housing systems, together with other techniques being developed, might become a major future housing system. Other techniques and systems that are being explored according to sustainability criteria include the multi-climate shed, the CowToilet (Hanskamp AgroTech, Doetinchem, the Netherlands) to separate feces and urine, and multifunctional buildings.

Investments may be delayed, and technology choices may be suboptimal, due to myopic behaviour, financial constraints, and policy risk. We develop a partial-equilibrium model that explicitly captures these imperfections and, uniquely, represents multiple sectors with heterogeneous foresight horizons. This structure enables us to distinguish short-sightedness in emission trading from that linked to green investment hold-up. We illustrate these dynamics through a case study of green investment decisions in the steel sector. We quantify how these frictions and their interactions shape allowance banking, carbon price trajectories, and irreversible industrial investment decisions. We find that such imperfections can distort price paths, delay low-carbon investments, and lead to suboptimal technology choice. Conversely, imperfect investment behaviour may itself influence the carbon price trajectory when the affected sector is sufficiently large. The results highlight the need for complementary policy instruments and underscore the importance of modelling approaches that represent heterogeneous foresight and imperfect market behaviour.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2753-3751/ae6b8e","authors":["Alexander Hoogsteyn","Jelle Meus","Kenneth Bruninx","Erik Delarue"],"tags":["Allowance (engineering)","Investment (military)","Imperfect","Economics","Futures studies"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2753-3751/ae6b8e","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z"},{"id":"oa:W4416365636","name":"Navigating Carbon Border Adjustments: A Case Study Analyzing the Impacts and Strategies for Trinidad and Tobago’s Ammonia Exports","source":"openalex","abstract":"The introduction of the European Union’s (EU’s) Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) significantly impacts carbon-intensive export sectors in economies of Small Island Developing States, particularly Trinidad and Tobago’s (T&T’s) ammonia industry. This study evaluates the economic implications of CBAM on T&T’s ammonia exports using historical production, natural gas consumption, and trade data (2004–2024) to establish emission baselines and projections for up to 2034. By employing linear programming optimization and sensitivity analyses, this study quantifies CBAM’s potential revenue impacts of CBAM under various emission factors, carbon prices, and market scenarios. The results indicate that under a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario, T&T’s ammonia exports to the EU could face an average CBAM tax burden of 22%, significantly affecting export revenue and economic stability. Notably, reducing emission factors by 37%–75% through mitigation technologies like carbon capture and storage could almost entirely negate these costs in the near term. The findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in the T&T’s ammonia sector due to CBAM, but also highlight strategic decarbonization pathways. The analysis advocates urgent policy interventions, including emission reduction investments, export market diversification, and domestic carbon pricing strategies, to maintain economic resilience and competitiveness in a global economy, increasingly governed by stringent climate-related trade measures.

The results demonstrate that the hybrid system utilizes the functional complementarity of CAES and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), resulting in the cascade utilization of energy, flexible operation mode and increased efficiency. The overall round trip efficiency of the system is 63%, and the overall exergy efficiency is 67%, with a design net power output of 12.5 MW.

While water splitting would be the ideal reaction for sustainable H2 production, thermodynamic and kinetic constraints have so far limited its applicability. Alternatively, photoreforming of organic derivatives, particularly those derived from renewable sources, can be an economic and technical solution to promote H2 evolution in parallel with the production of added-value oxidation products. Among different organic substrates, alcohol photoreforming stands out due to its large availability, cost-effectiveness, and the possibility to produce key chemical feedstocks. Such reactions have been studied since the early 70s, starting with primary alcohols such as methanol and, more recently, involving polyols such as glycerol. Despite different semiconductors having been employed as photocatalysts, fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanism is a necessary step towards the development of more efficient systems. In this manuscript, the fundamental aspects of alcohol photoreforming are reviewed, focusing on TiO2-based systems in which a vast literature is available. A systematic comparison of the light-driven reforming pathways of C1-C6 alcohols on TiO2-based photocatalysts is presented, extending from methanol to more complex substrates such as glycerol and biomass-derived compounds. The aim is to highlight how molecular complexity influences oxidative pathways, intermediate formation, hydrogen evolution, and catalyst requirements. The main findings employing different characterization techniques are summarized and corelated with surface modifications of the oxide aiming at improved H2 evolution rates and selectivity for different oxidation products. The discussion can work as a tool to promote the rational development of more efficient sunlight-driven photocatalysts for photoreforming.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20517/energymater.2026.62","authors":["Ribeiro N.

Nevertheless, strategies for the efficient construction and regulation of such consortia remain challenging. Applying tools of genetic engineering, this study successfully constructed a synthetic community of phototrophs using Rhodopseudomonas palustris (R. palustris) and an engineered strain of Synechocystis sp PCC6803 for acetate production (Synechocystis_acs), enabling the production of biohydrogen and fatty acids during nitrogen and carbon dioxide fixation.

The strategy of circadian illumination effectively limited oxygen levels in the system, ensuring the activity of the nitrogenase in R. palustris, despite oxygenic photosynthesis happening in Synechocystis. When infrared light was introduced into the circadian illumination, the production of H2 (9.70 μmol mg–1) and fatty acids (especially C16 and C18) was significantly enhanced. Proteomic analysis indicated acetate exchange and light-dependent regulation of metabolic activities. Infrared illumination significantly stimulated the expression of proteins coding for nitrogen fixation, carbohydrate metabolism, and transporters in R. palustris, while constant white light led to the most upregulation of photosynthesis-related proteins in Synechocystis_acs.

Aflatoxin is produced by fungi belonging to the Aspergilli group, and is known as an acutely toxic, carcinogenic, and immune-suppressing class of mycotoxins. Evidence for several host genetic factors that may impact aflatoxin contamination has been reported, e.g., genes for lipoxygenase (PnLOX1 and PnLOX2/PnLOX3 that showed either positive or negative regulation with Aspergillus infection), reactive oxygen species, and WRKY (highly associated with or differentially expressed upon infection of maize with Aspergillus flavus); however, their roles remain unclear. Therefore, we conducted an RNA-sequencing experiment to differentiate gene response to the infection by A. flavus between resistant (ICG 1471) and susceptible (Florida-07) cultivated peanut genotypes. The gene expression profiling analysis was designed to reveal differentially expressed genes in response to the infection (infected vs. mock-treated seeds). In addition, the differential expression of the fungal genes was profiled. The study revealed the complexity of the interaction between the fungus and peanut seeds as the expression of a large number of genes was altered, including some in the process of plant defense to aflatoxin accumulation. Analysis of the experimental data with “keggseq,” a novel designed tool for Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis, showed the importance of α-linolenic acid metabolism, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, spliceosome, and carbon fixation and metabolism pathways in conditioning resistance to aflatoxin accumulation. In addition, coexpression network analysis was carried out to reveal the correlation of gene expression among peanut and fungal genes. The results showed the importance of WRKY, toll/Interleukin1 receptor–nucleotide binding site leucine-rich repeat (TIR-NBS-LRR), ethylene, and heat shock proteins in the resistance mechanism.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1534/genetics.118.300478","authors":["Walid Korani","Ye Chu","C.

Biochar, an eco-friendly and cost-effective carbon material, has gained attention for low-temperature CO2 capture due to its sustainable adsorption properties. However, raw biochar’s limited pore structure and surface chemistry hinder its efficiency. Among modification strategies, heteroatom doping is particularly effective. By enriching functional groups and tuning the carbon framework, this approach significantly improves CO2 capture performance. This review explores recent advancements in the development of engineered biochar for CO2 adsorption, with a focus on heteroatom doping techniques. Additionally, key quantitative performance metrics were compiled and compared, including adsorption capacities and isosteric heats of adsorption (Qst) (and, where available, selectivity/working capacity), to quantify how different doping strategies alter gas uptake and binding strength and to establish structure-performance relationships. Among various dopants (such as nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and boron), nitrogen doping has attracted much attention due to its significant enhancement in the ability to capture CO2. This is mainly because nitrogen atoms can more effectively regulate the electronic structure and pore structure of the material in a coordinated manner, thereby enhancing the dual effects of physical and chemical adsorption on CO2. A critical comparison is made between pre-modification doping (incorporating heteroatoms during biomass carbonization) and post-modification doping (treating already-formed biochar), revealing that pre-modification generally offers superior doping efficiency and structural stability. Moreover, the review examines co-doping strategies, where synergistic effects between multiple elements, as exemplified by nitrogen-phosphorus co-doping or nitrogen-sulfur co-doping of biochar, further optimize the adsorption capacity. Finally, critical barriers to industrialization, including techno-economic feasibility and regeneration energy costs, are discussed. Future perspectives emphasize the integration of machine learning for rational design, standardized characterization protocols, and life-cycle assessments (LCA) to accelerate the deployment of biochar in practical CCUS applications. The review highlights the mechanisms of CO2 capture, emphasizing the balance between physical adsorption and chemisorption. The challenges for development of engineered biochar for CO2 capture are prospected. Further research on improving chemical adsorption performance while preserving physical adsorption properties is still required to improve biochar’s application in sustainable CO2 capture technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44246-026-00264-6","authors":["Xiangping Li","Qing Liu","Qing Liu","Qing Liu","Caixia Zhang","Yifei Yu","Qing Liu","Mahesh Hordagoda","Wenbing Ding","Shengshu Xu","Thilini U.

Atmospheric CO2 increased by about 90 ppm across the transition from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to the end of the preindustrial (PI) period. The contribution of changes in land carbon stocks to this increase remains uncertain. Estimates of the PI-LGM difference in land biosphere carbon inventory (∆land) range from −400 to +1,500 GtC, based on upscaling of scarce paleo soil carbon or pollen data. A perhaps more reliable approach infers ∆land from reconstructions of the stable carbon isotope ratio in the ocean and atmosphere assuming isotopic mass balance with recent studies yielding ∆land values of about 300–400 GtC. Surprisingly, however, earlier studies considered a mass balance for the ocean–atmosphere–land biosphere system only. Thereby, these studies neglect carbon exchange with sediments, weathering-burial flux imbalances, and the influence of the deglacial reorganization on the isotopic budgets. We show this neglect to significantly bias low deglacial ∆land in simulations using the Bern3D Earth System Model of Intermediate Complexity v.2.0s. We constrain ∆land to ∼ 850 GtC (median estimate; 450 to 1250 GtC 1σ range) by using reconstructed changes in atmospheric δ13C, marine δ13C, deep Pacific carbonate ion concentration, and atmospheric CO2 as observational targets in a Monte Carlo ensemble with half a million members. Sensitivities of the target variables to changes in individual deglacial carbon cycle processes are established from factorial simulations over the past 21,000 years with the Bern3D model. These are used in the Monte Carlo ensemble and provide forcing–response relationships for future model–model and model–data comparisons. Uncertainties in the estimate of ∆land remain considerable due to model and proxy data uncertainties. Yet, it is likely that ∆land is larger than 450 GtC and highly unlikely that the carbon inventory in the land biosphere was larger for the LGM than during the recent preindustrial period.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-2018-167","authors":["Aurich Jeltsch‐Thömmes","Gianna Battaglia","Olivier Cartapanis","Samuel L.

The mechanism for formation of stromules is not understood, but investigating how they arise will be stimulated by the recent observation that they can form in vitro from chloroplasts isolated in particular conditions or in the presence of cellular protein extracts. Stromules allow the plastid compartment, with all its biosynthetic and metabolic capacity, to be placed near other subcellular locations in the cells, sometimes at considerable distance from the main plastid body. Proteins, and undoubtedly other molecules, but not DNA or ribosomes, flow through stromules, which have been implicated in retrograde signaling of pathogen invasion or light stress from chloroplast to nucleus. Stromules increase in frequency following exposures of cells to reactive oxygen species, sugar, hormones, and pathogen effector proteins, in chloroplast division mutants, and in transformed cells that overexpress plastid outer-envelope proteins. Through breakage or tip shedding, stromules may also be a source of plastid-derived vesicles that can recycle plastid content during nutrient stress but that also may have unknown roles in removal of toxic molecules or in intra- or intercellular communication. Stromules emanate from plastids at varying frequencies, which differ between plant or algal species, cell type, and environmental conditions. Structures that can now be recognized as stromules have been described in the literature for over a hundred years (for review, see Gray et al., 2001; Kwok and Hanson, 2004a), but until the advent of GFP technology (Köhler et al., 1997; Hanson and Köhler, 2001), their existence was largely ignored by the scientific community. Previously, imaging them required special preparations and skilled technique (Wildman et al., 1962; Holzinger et al., 2008), and the number of cell types in which they could be visualized by standard microscopic methods was limited. Currently, labeling of plastid proteins with fluorescent proteins allows investigators to examine plastid and stromule morphology throughout the plant and in response to environmental or genetic changes. Recently, the fluorescent dye carboxyfluorescein acetate has been found to label plastids and stromules (Borucki et al., 2015) and will thus provide a convenient method to examine stromule morphology, frequency, and formation without the necessity for transformation of cells with genes encoding plastid-localized fluorescent proteins. A series of early papers examining plastids labeled with GFP in our lab and others established stromules as a genuine feature of plant cells. Stromules were named in 2000 in order to distinguish the structures from other types of tubular structures in the cell (Köhler and Hanson, 2000). Since then, stromules have been observed through fluorescent labeling in a wide variety of plant species and cell types (for review, see Gray et al., 2001; Kwok and Hanson, 2004a; Natesan et al., 2005; Hanson and Sattarzadeh, 2008; Borucki et al., 2015). Stromules are implicated as structures that function in a large variety of cellular activities (Box 1). Now marking the 20th anniversary of the rediscovery of stromules (Köhler et al., 1997), this review will focus on the developments concerning stromules that have occurred since 2011, when our group last provided an update for Plant Physiology (Hanson and Sattarzadeh, 2011). Two main hypotheses, which are not mutually exclusive, are that stromules form due to forces from within or from without the main plastid body. When the plastid envelope is anchored to some structure such as the cytoskeleton and the structure itself moves away from the main plastid body or the plastid body itself moves away, perhaps “caught” by another cytoskeletal element and moved by myosin motors, a stromule might be produced. Alternatively, uneven outward pressure ","url":"https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.17.01287","authors":["Maureen R. Hanson","Kevin M.

This transition is centered on three key pillars: improving energy efficiency, accelerating the deployment of renewable energy, and ensuring a stable energy supply during the shift away from fossil fuels. Over the past decades, Germany has made significant progress in expanding renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar power, which now account for a substantial share of its electricity generation. The Russia-Ukraine war has posed significant challenges to the German energy transition, disrupting natural gas imports and leading to short-term measures such as the temporary reactivation of coal-fired power plants. This geopolitical shift has highlighted the need for Germany to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy and develop robust energy storage solutions to ensure long-term energy security. By 2030, Germany aims to install at least 20 GW of renewable capacity annually and develop 12 GW of energy storage to manage the intermittency of wind and solar power. Despite these challenges, the energy crisis has also created opportunities. The sharp rise in energy prices has incentivized investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency measures. Germany is now actively seeking alternative energy partnerships, strengthening cooperation with China in solar technology and exploring hydrogen collaborations with African nations. These strategic shifts are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the next phase of the Energiewende. This paper examines the evolving challenges and opportunities in the German energy transition, focusing on key aspects such as the expansion of renewable energy, energy storage solutions, and policy adjustments needed to navigate the changing energy landscape.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44438-025-00002-2","authors":["Hans-Peter Beck","Zhengmeng Hou","Qichen Wang","Yilin Guo","Liangchao Huang","Ye Yue","Yanli Fang","Tian Zhang","Tianle Shi","Ru Zhang"],"tags":["German","Transition (genetics)","Political science","Energy transition","Economic history"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44438-025-00002-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z"},{"id":"oa:W7119632617","name":"Marginal Cost of Carbon Sequestration Using Straw-Based Biochar in Great Britain","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Achieving the net-zero target of the United Kingdom requires substantial greenhouse gas removal (GGR) in addition to emission reductions. Biochar, a stable carbon-rich material produced through biomass pyrolysis, is an established GGR method. Straw is abundantly available in the UK and presents a viable option for large-scale biochar production. However, uncertainties regarding its feasibility remain, particularly concerning costs, spatial constraints, and facility construction. Here, we use a spatial model integrated with life cycle assessment and technoeconomic analysis to estimate the marginal cost curve for net carbon sequestration through straw-based biochar production in Great Britain (GB). Our findings reveal that straw-based biochar production in GB can achieve 0.6–1.9% of the UK’s 2050 carbon removal target at marginal costs below £75 per tCO 2 e. If higher-cost options are also included (i.e., without the £75 per tCO 2 e constraint), the total potential removal increases to 0.8–2.1%. The marginal costs are significantly influenced by the price and availability of feedstock, the value of byproducts, and the biochar yield. Our integrated spatial model helps identify optimal feedstock supply and production strategies, reducing costs and uncertainties in net carbon sequestration for biochar systems. This study elucidates the challenges and limitations of utilizing straw for large-scale biochar production in GB to support the climate change mitigation pathway.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5c11115","authors":["Yuzhou Tang","Paul N.

Unfortunately, antibodies are also limited in several respects, chief amongst those being the extremely high cost of manufacture. Therefore, non-antibody binding proteins have long been sought after as alternative therapies. New binding protein scaffolds are constantly being designed or discovered with some already approved for human use by the FDA. This review focuses on protein scaffolds that are either already being used in humans or are currently being evaluated in clinical trials. Although not all are expected to be approved, the significant benefits ensure that these molecules will continue to be investigated and developed as therapeutic alternatives to antibodies. Based on the location of the amino acids that mediate ligand binding, we place all the protein scaffolds under clinical development into two general categories: scaffolds with ligand-binding residues located in exposed flexible loops, and those with the binding residues located in protein secondary structures, such as α-helices. Scaffolds that fall under the first category include adnectins, anticalins, avimers, Fynomers, Kunitz domains, and knottins, while those belonging to the second category include affibodies, β-hairpin mimetics, and designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins). Most of these scaffolds are thermostable and can be easily produced in microorganisms or completely synthesized chemically. In addition, many of these scaffolds derive from human proteins and thus possess very low immunogenic potential. Additional advantages and limitations of these protein scaffolds as therapeutics compared to antibodies will be discussed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13238-017-0386-6","authors":["Rudo Simeon","Zhilei Chen"],"tags":["Computational biology","Antibody","Protein engineering","Protein design","In vitro"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2017-03-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13238-017-0386-6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.759Z"},{"id":"oa:W1570399073","name":"Well-to-Wheels analysis of landfill gas-based pathways and their addition to the GREET model.","source":"openalex","abstract":"Today, approximately 300 million standard cubic ft/day (mmscfd) of natural gas and 1600 MW of electricity are produced from the decomposition of organic waste at 519 U.S. landfills (EPA 2010a). Since landfill gas (LFG) is a renewable resource, this energy is considered renewable. When used as a vehicle fuel, compressed natural gas (CNG) produced from LFG consumes up to 185,000 Btu of fossil fuel and generates from 1.5 to 18.4 kg of carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO{sub 2}e) emissions per million Btu of fuel on a 'well-to-wheel' (WTW) basis. This compares with approximately 1.1 million Btu and 78.2 kg of CO{sub 2}e per million Btu for CNG from fossil natural gas and 1.2 million Btu and 97.5 kg of CO{sub 2}e per million Btu for petroleum gasoline. Because of the additional energy required for liquefaction, LFG-based liquefied natural gas (LNG) requires more fossil fuel (222,000-227,000 Btu/million Btu WTW) and generates more GHG emissions (approximately 22 kg CO{sub 2}e /MM Btu WTW) if grid electricity is used for the liquefaction process. However, if some of the LFG is used to generate electricity for gas cleanup and liquefaction (or compression, in the case of CNG), vehicle fuel produced from LFG can have no fossil fuel input and only minimal GHG emissions (1.5-7.7 kg CO{sub 2}e /MM Btu) on a WTW basis. Thus, LFG-based natural gas can be one of the lowest GHG-emitting fuels for light- or heavy-duty vehicles. This report discusses the size and scope of biomethane resources from landfills and the pathways by which those resources can be turned into and utilized as vehicle fuel. It includes characterizations of the LFG stream and the processes used to convert low-Btu LFG into high-Btu renewable natural gas (RNG); documents the conversion efficiencies and losses of those processes, the choice of processes modeled in GREET, and other assumptions used to construct GREET pathways; and presents GREET results by pathway stage. GREET estimates of well-to-pump (WTP), pump-to-wheel (PTW), and WTW energy, fossil fuel, and GHG emissions for each LFG-based pathway are then summarized and compared with similar estimates for fossil natural gas and petroleum pathways.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/982696","authors":["Marianne Mintz","Jeongwoo Han","M.

Using HOMER Pro software (v3.14.2), multiple configurations were simulated to identify the most cost‐effective and low‐emission system.

In this study, we investigate the role of transition metal ion contaminants, specifically Cu 2+, Fe 2+, and Ni 2+, on the oxidative degradation of poly(ethylenimine) (PEI)-impregnated SBA-15 sorbents. By introducing metal ions via different modes mimicking both synthesis-related impurities and impurities derived from environmental exposure, we systematically evaluate sorbent stability after exposure to dry air at an elevated temperature. Thermogravimetric CO 2 uptake measurements reveal that even trace levels of Cu and Fe (as low as ∼4 ppm) can lead to measurable sorbent deactivation after oxidative aging, despite negligible loss in the performance of the control samples. In situ infrared, UV–vis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies indicate that these metals catalyze radical-driven oxidation pathways, altering the chemical structure of the sorbent and accelerating degradation.

The results indicate that all four scenarios could realize the target of carbon peaking by 2030.

Moreover, by distinguishing the carbon emissions of sectors, it can be found that the commercial sector is the largest source of carbon emissions. The proportion of carbon emissions from the industrial sector will decline, while that from the urban household sector will increase. Furthermore, the analysis of the carbon emission reduction potential of sectors reveals that the commercial and industrial sectors have the greatest potential for carbon emission reduction in the medium term.

These scenarios include production of mid-sized battery electric vehicles direct-hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and direct methanol fuel cell vehicles from 2003 to 2026, and operation of the vehicles in California's South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) from 2003 to 2043. The study focuses on potential manufacturing cost reductions for electric motors, motor controllers, battery systems, hydrogen storage tanks, and fuel cell systems, due to the combined forces of production scale economies and technological progress.Vehicle manufacturing and lifecycle costs are calculated by integrating vehicle component cost functions with a detailed vehicle performance and cost spreadsheet model. Fleet-level costs for vehicle operation, infrastructure development, and criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions are calculated using a MATLAB/Simulink model developed by the author. In this regional-scale, fleet-level model, fuzzy set theory is used to characterize uncertainty in key input variables, and to propagate uncertainty through the calculation of vehicle, infrastructure, and emissions costs.Findings are that estimated ZEV purchase prices drop steadily with production volume and technological progress, but that even in future, high-volume production the estimated purchase prices for all three ZEV types remain above those of comparable conventional vehicles. However, lifecycle costs for ZEVs in some cases become competitive with those of comparable conventional vehicles, especially for direct-hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. When infrastructure and emission-related costs are considered for vehicles used in the SCAB, total lifecycle costs for direct-hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are found to be below those of even low-emission gasoline vehicles by 2026, under central case assumptions. Meanwhile, total lifecycle costs for battery EVs and direct-methanol fuel cell vehicles are found to be between those of conventional and low-emission gasoline vehicles, again in the year 2026 central case. In general, the overall level of uncertainty in the calculation of total scenario net present values is considerable, and this level of uncertainty prevents the unequivocal determination of a least-cost ZEV technology pathway for the SCAB.","url":"https://openalex.org/W1552112143","authors":["Timothy Lipman"],"tags":["Criteria air contaminants","Zero emission","Automotive engineering","Greenhouse gas","Hydrogen vehicle"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"1999-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"oa:W4414071941","name":"Carbon footprint and sustainable development in anesthesia: a narrative review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Global climate change poses a significant threat to human health. While healthcare services can offer protection, they also contribute to this threat through indirect environmental impacts. Projections indicate that greenhouse gas emissions from medical services will continue to rise in the foreseeable future. Within the healthcare sector, anesthesia represents a substantial contributor to the overall carbon footprint. Given the persistent increase in the volume of anesthesia cases, anesthesiologists have a pivotal role in promoting sustainable anesthesia and enhancing environmental sustainability in healthcare. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) serves as an analytical tool that quantifies the environmental impact of products, processes, and activities throughout their life cycles. Its application is gradually gaining acceptance in the medical field and can assist physicians in comparing the environmental impacts of various diagnostic and treatment approaches in clinical practice. The primary objective of applying LCA to anesthesiology is to assess the carbon footprint and environmental impact of different anesthesia modalities under the guidance of anesthesia providers. This review highlights the advantages of reducing high-Global Warming Potential (GWP) inhalational anesthetics and minimizing drug waste, implementing low-flow anesthesia, carefully evaluating the benefits and drawbacks of reusable versus disposable materials, and optimizing energy consumption to mitigate the carbon footprint associated with anesthesia. Furthermore, this review examines potential sources of carbon footprint in anesthesia practices and discusses strategies to achieve net-zero emissions in anesthesia, offering a valuable reference to foster sustainable anesthesia practices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.22514/sv.2025.123","authors":[],"tags":["Carbon footprint","Greenhouse gas","Narrative review","Sustainability","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.22514/sv.2025.123","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415206827","name":"Portable smartphone-integrated ratiometric fluorescence probe for visual detection of mercury ions in environmental water with greenness evaluation","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study developed a ratiometric fluorescence probe based on red and green carbon dots for the selective detection of Hg 2+ and evaluated its environmental sustainability using AGREE, BAGI, and RAPI metrics.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5ra06396e","authors":["Kawan F.

However, there are multiple uncertainties in the investment process of hydrogen-powered yard cranes, and the existing valuation methods fail to effectively deal with these dynamic changes and lack scientifically sound decision support tools. To address this problem, this study constructs a multi-factor real options model that integrates the dynamic uncertainties of hydrogen price, carbon price, and technology maturity. In this study, a geometric Brownian motion is used for hydrogen price simulation, a Markov chain model with jump diffusion term and stochastic volatility is used for carbon price simulation, and a learning curve method is used to quantify the evolution of technology maturity. Aiming at the long investment cycle of ports, a hybrid option strategy of “American and European” is designed, and the timing and scale of investment are dynamically optimized by Monte Carlo simulation and least squares regression. Based on the empirical analysis of Qingdao Port, the results show that the optimal investment plan for hydrogen-powered yard cranes project under the framework of a multi-factor option model is to use an American-type option to maintain moderate flexibility in the early stage, and to use a European-type option to lock in the return in the later stage. The study provides decision support for the green development of ports and enhances economic returns and carbon emission reduction benefits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18081928","authors":["Ang Yang","Ang Li","Zongxing Li","Yuhui Sun","Jing Gao"],"tags":["Jump diffusion","Monte Carlo method","Yard","Jump","Investment (military)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18081928","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7116985660","name":"Standardising research on marine biological carbon pathways required to estimate sequestration at Polar and sub-Polar latitudes","source":"openalex","abstract":"Marine biological (‘blue’) carbon pathways are crucial components of the global carbon budget due to the ecosystem services they provide through the fixation of CO 2 from the atmosphere. CO 2 is removed from biosphere through long-term sequestration into seafloor sediments, removing it from the carbon cycle. Coincident with marine ice loss, little studied negative (mitigating) feedbacks to climate change are emerging in polar waters, which is important to quantify and comprehend. Understanding the mechanisms driving these pathways, that could lead to change, is a massive task and to ensure studies are comparable requires standardisation and prioritisation of future research. The expertise of scientists within the EU grant, Coastal ecosystem carbon balance in times of rapid glacier melt (CoastCarb), identified the 23 most important high latitude pathways through a modified Delphi scoring system. Metrics were selected as priorities for future research and for syntheses across broader geographic regions. The metrics with the highest importance scores also scored as the metrics that could be most readily standardised in the next five years. This review provides a definition and description of how each metric is measured, including its central role to blue carbon pathways. It also provides recommendations for standardisation, emphasising the requirement for modelling studies to scale from geographically limited regions where high-resolution data is available. Where methods cannot be standardised, cross calibration between methods is required to ensure reproducibility. An increasing use of remote sensing and innovative technologies will be necessary to scale measurements across this vast and remote region.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2025.105372","authors":["Simon A.

Here, we present silk-nanofibroin aerogels derived from natural mulberry silk as a sustainable, amine-rich, and porous solid-support-free sorbent platform for energy-efficient CO 2 capture.

In this study, we demonstrate that mutation of the rice (Oryza sativa) gene EMBRYONIC FLOWER2a (OsEMF2a), encoding a zinc-finger containing component of PRC2, causes an autonomous endosperm phenotype involving proliferation of the central cell nuclei with separate cytoplasmic domains, even in the absence of fertilization.

These events have not been reported in Arabidopsis. After fertilization, we observed an abnormally delayed developmental transition in the endosperm. Transcriptome and H3K27me3 ChIP-seq analyses using endosperm from the emf2a mutant identified downstream targets of PRC2.

This paper comprehensively reviews existing literature on electricity storage in island systems, documenting relevant storage applications worldwide and emphasizing the role of storage in transitioning NII towards a fossil-fuel-independent electricity sector. On this topic, the literature review indicates that the implementation of storage is a prerequisite for attaining renewable penetration rates of over 50% due to the amplified requirements for system flexibility and renewable energy arbitrage. The analysis also identifies potential storage services and classifies applicable storage architectures for islands. Amongst the available storage designs, two have emerged as particularly important for further investigation; standalone, centrally managed storage stations and storage combined with renewables to form a hybrid plant that operates indivisibly in the market. For each design, the operating principles, remuneration schemes, investment feasibility, and applications discussed in the literature are presented in-depth, while possible implementation barriers are acknowledged. The literature on hybrid power plants mainly focuses on wind-powered pumped-hydro stations. However, recently, PV-powered battery-based hybrid plants have gained momentum due to the decreasing cost of Li-ion technology. On the other hand, standalone storage establishments rely heavily on battery technology and are mainly used to provide flexibility to the island grid. Nevertheless, these investments often suffer from insufficient remunerating frameworks, making it challenging for storage projects to be financially secure.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2401.14712","authors":["Georgios N.

Addressing the challenge of reconciling emissions reduction with industrial efficiency, the study employs a mixed-method approach that combines panel econometric analysis of manufacturing enterprises in China’s Yangtze River Delta with representative case studies. The empirical results demonstrate significant synergistic effects among policy, technology, and finance under digital enablement. Coordinated policy instruments, including emissions trading and green credit, reduce decarbonization costs by 18–23%, while digitally enabled mechanisms such as Zhejiang’s “Carbon Efficiency Code” lower carbon intensity by over 15% for nearly half of participating firms. Technological pathways exhibit sectoral heterogeneity: digital twin optimization reduces emissions by 12% in the steel industry, whereas IoT-based monitoring cuts energy consumption by 9.7% in textiles.

While many of today's IoT devices take advantage of cloud-centered analytics, IoT manufacturers and application developers are devoting themselves to empowering IoT devices to store sensed data and perform data processing via edge analytics at the edge of the Internet. In contrast to cloud-centered analytics where (1) network connectivity is not always available or is limited and (2) real-time responsiveness cannot be guaranteed, edge analytics (1) moves cloud-centered analytics to IoT end devices and (2) guarantees real-time responsiveness for local actionable insights. In this paper, a novel smart home system architecture that considers edge analytics capabilities is proposed. Additionally, an embedded flexible edge-sensing device prototype for monitoring and remotely controlling electrical home appliances for home energy management/DSM is designed and implemented in the architecture.

To fill this gap we performed transcriptomic profiling combined with cellular and molecular analyses of N. oceanica CCMP1779 during the transition from quiescence to autotrophy. N deprivation-induced quiescence was accompanied by a strong reorganization of the photosynthetic apparatus and changes in the lipid homeostasis, leading to accumulation of triacylglycerol. Cell cycle activation and re-establishment of photosynthetic activity observed in response to resupply of the growth medium with N were accompanied by a rapid degradation of triacylglycerol stored in lipid droplets (LDs).

The use of biogenic CO2 from renewable sources, is an avenue for the production of fully renewable products. Fossil-based materials can potentially be replaced in the long term while allowing for the use of so called “waste” streams. To foster the development of a circular economy more insights need to be gained on the life cycle impact of CCU technologies. This study analyzed a CCU process chain, with focus on the utilization of volatile renewable electricity and biogenic CO2. We performed a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment, evaluating various environmental impact categories (CML 2001 methodology) and primary energy demand (PED) with GaBi LCA software by sphera®. The targeted olefin is ethylene oxide (C2H4O), which is a crucial intermediate chemical for the production of various synthetic materials, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). As functional unit, 1 kg ethylene oxide was chosen. In the novel process at first ethylene (C2H4) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are produced from water and CO2via an electrocatalytic process (Power-to-X process). In a second step, the two intermediates are synthesized to ethylene oxide. The theoretical implementation of a medium-scale process under average European conditions was considered in 12 scenarios that differed in energy supply and CO2 source. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the influence of the energy and resource efficiencies of the production steps. The process was compared to its fossil benchmark, an existing conventional EO production chain. Concerning the global warming potential (GWP), negative emissions of up to −0.5 kg CO2 eq./kg product were calculated under optimized process conditions regarding energy and conversion efficiency and using biogenic CO2. In contrast, the GWP exceeded the fossil benchmark when the European grid mix was applied. The PED of 87 MJ/kg product under optimized conditions is comparable to that of other Power-to-X processes, but is high compared to fossil-based ethylene oxide. Based on the results we conclude that the energy efficiency of the electrocatalytic cell and renewable energy as input are the main levers to achieve a low environmental impact.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/frsus.2022.799389","authors":["Valerie Rodin","Lukas Zeilerbauer","Johannes Lindorfer","Christian Paulik","David C.

The global ocean has taken up a large fraction of the CO2 released by human activities since the industrial revolution. Quantifying the oceanic anthropogenic carbon (Cant) inventory and its variability is important for predicting the future global carbon cycle. The detailed comparison of data-based and model-based estimates is essential for the validation and continued improvement of our prediction capabilities. So far, three global estimates of oceanic Cant inventory that are \"data-based\" and independent of global ocean circulation models have been produced: one based on the Δ C* method, and two that are based on constraining surface-to-interior transport of tracers, the TTD method and a maximum entropy inversion method (GF). The GF method, in particular, is capable of reconstructing the history of Cant inventory through the industrial era. In the present study we use forward model simulations of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM3.1) to estimate the Cant inventory and compare the results with the data-based estimates. We also use the simulations to test several assumptions of the GF method, including the assumption of constant climate and circulation, which is common to all the data-based estimates. Though the integrated estimates of global Cant inventories are consistent with each other, the regional estimates show discrepancies up to 50 %. The CCSM3 model underestimates the total Cant inventory, in part due to weak mixing and ventilation in the North Atlantic and Southern Ocean. Analyses of different simulation results suggest that key assumptions about ocean circulation and air-sea disequilibrium in the GF method are generally valid on the global scale, but may introduce errors in Cant estimates on regional scales. The GF method should also be used with caution when predicting future oceanic anthropogenic carbon uptake.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-9-1321-2012","authors":["Shanlin Wang","J.

One way to improve the efficiency of MOF discovery is to data-mine published MOF papers to extract the materials informatics knowledge contained within journal articles. Here, by adapting the chemistry-aware natural language processing tool, ChemDataExtractor (CDE), we generated an open-source database of MOFs focused on their synthetic properties: the DigiMOF database. Using the CDE web scraping package alongside the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) MOF subset, we automatically downloaded 43,281 unique MOF journal articles, extracted 15,501 unique MOF materials, and text-mined over 52,680 associated properties including the synthesis method, solvent, organic linker, metal precursor, and topology. Additionally, we developed an alternative data extraction technique to obtain and transform the chemical names assigned to each CSD entry in order to determine linker types for each structure in the CSD MOF subset. This data enabled us to match MOFs to a list of known linkers provided by Tokyo Chemical Industry UK Ltd. (TCI) and analyze the cost of these important chemicals. This centralized, structured database reveals the MOF synthetic data embedded within thousands of MOF publications and contains further topology, metal type, accessible surface area, largest cavity diameter, pore limiting diameter, open metal sites, and density calculations for all 3D MOFs in the CSD MOF subset.

China possesses extensive abandoned open-pit mines suitable for photovoltaic (PV) power development; however, their carbon mitigation and energy conservation potential remains largely underutilized. In this study, we develop an integrated model to quantify the life-cycle carbon mitigation potential of PV systems on these mines, combining PV power generation with ecological restoration of mine sites. The results indicate that developing PV systems on abandoned open-pit mines in China could generate 1.34-2.93 EJ yr-1 of renewable energy and reduce CO2 emissions by 278.85-613.79 Mt yr-1, accounting for 5.9%-12.8% of China’s coal-fired power generation and 2.8%-6.2% of its carbon emissions in 2020. Replacing conventional electricity with PV power yields greater carbon mitigation (611.63 t CO2 ha-1) than bioenergy alternatives, including biopower (102.96 t CO2 ha-1), ethanol (61.99 t CO2 ha-1), and biodiesel (17.13 t CO2 ha-1). Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Shandong, Hebei, Guangxi, and Yunnan were identified as key provinces with high renewable energy production and corresponding CO2 mitigation potential, collectively contributing 44%-45% of the total mitigation potential. Overall, an energy-oriented ecological restoration model, such as the “PV+” scenarios for abandoned open-pit mines, is economically feasible.

Although the photorespiratory pathway is well characterized, little information is available on the function of the PS pathway in plants. Here, we present a detailed characterization of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenases (PGDHs) as components of the PS pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana. All PGDHs localize to plastids and possess similar kinetic properties, but they differ with respect to their sensitivity to serine feedback inhibition. Furthermore, analysis of pgdh1 and phosphoserine phosphatase mutants revealed an embryo-lethal phenotype and PGDH1-silenced lines were inhibited in growth. Metabolic analyses of PGDH1-silenced lines grown under ambient and high CO2 conditions indicate a direct link between PS biosynthesis and ammonium assimilation. In addition, we obtained several lines of evidence for an interconnection between PS and tryptophan biosynthesis, because the expression of PGDH1 and phosphoserine aminotransferase1 is regulated by MYB51 and MYB34, two activators of tryptophan biosynthesis. Moreover, the concentration of tryptophan-derived glucosinolates and auxin were reduced in PGDH1-silenced plants. In essence, our results provide evidence for a vital function of PS biosynthesis for plant development and metabolism.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.113.118992","authors":["Ruben Maximilian Benstein","Katja Ludewig","Sabine Wulfert","Sebastian Wittek","Tamara Gigolashvili","Henning Frerigmann","Markus Gierth","Ulf‐Ingo Flügge","Stephan Krueger"],"tags":["Phosphoserine","Biosynthesis","Serine","Biology","Biochemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2013-12-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.113.118992","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"oa:W7125502539","name":"Game-Theoretic Assessment of Grid-Scale Hydrogen Energy Storage Adoption in Island Grids of the Philippines","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study introduces an integrated Life Cycle Assessment–Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis–Nash Equilibrium (LCA–MCDA–NE) framework to assess the feasibility of hydrogen energy storage (HES) in Philippine island grids. It starts with a cradle-to-gate LCA of hydrogen production across various electricity mix scenarios, from diesel-dominated Small Power Utilities Group (SPUG) systems to high-renewable configurations, quantifying greenhouse gas emissions. These impacts are normalized and integrated into an MCDA framework that considers four stakeholder perspectives: Regulatory (PRF), Developer (DF), Scientific (SF), and Local Social (LSF). Attribute utilities for Maintainability, Energy Efficiency, Geographic–Climatic Suitability, and Regulatory Compliance inform a 2 × 2 strategic game where net utility gain (Δ) and switching costs (C1, C2) influence adoption behavior. The findings indicate that the baseline Nash Equilibrium favors non-adoption due to limited utility gains and high switching barriers. However, enhancements in Maintainability and reduced costs can shift this equilibrium toward adoption. The LCA results show that meaningful decarbonization occurs only when low-carbon generation exceeds 60% of the electricity mix. This integrated framework highlights that successful HES deployment in remote grids relies on stakeholder coordination, reduced risks, and access to low-carbon electricity, offering a replicable model for emerging economies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/hydrogen7010015","authors":["Alvin Garcia Palanca","Cherry Lyn Velarde Chao","Kristian July R.

Key to exploiting these datasets is the definition of the components that comprise the system of interest. Although a variety of knowledge bases exist that capture such information, a major challenge is determining how these resources may be best utilized. Here we present a systematic curation strategy to define a systems-level view of the human extracellular matrix (ECM)--a three-dimensional meshwork of proteins and polysaccharides that impart structure and mechanical stability to tissues. Employing our curation strategy we define a set of 357 proteins that represent core components of the ECM, together with an additional 524 genes that mediate related functional roles, and construct a map of their physical interactions. Topological properties help identify modules of functionally related proteins, including those involved in cell adhesion, bone formation and blood clotting. Because of its major role in cell adhesion, proliferation and morphogenesis, defects in the ECM have been implicated in cancer, atherosclerosis, asthma, fibrosis, and arthritis. We use MeSH annotations to identify modules enriched for specific disease terms that aid to strengthen existing as well as predict novel gene-disease associations. Mapping expression and conservation data onto the network reveal modules evolved in parallel to convey tissue-specific functionality on otherwise broadly expressed units. In addition to demonstrating an effective workflow for defining biological systems, this study crystallizes our current knowledge surrounding the organization of the ECM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/prot.24036","authors":["Graham L.

Despite numerous catalysts have been implemented to improve the iodine cathode stability, an important aspect, the balance between polyiodide adsorption and interfacial mass transport kinetics at the cathode surface, has been overlooked. It is known that insufficient intermediate trapping ability will cause low iodine utilization and fast capacity decay. However, excessive adsorption of iodine species will block the ion transport and lead to passivation of the catalyst, which is particularly serious under lean-electrolyte and high mass loading conditions. To tackle this challenge, we employ a dual single atomic catalyst encompassing NiN 4 P and FeN 4 P sites to promote a catalytic interface with well-balanced solvophilicity and iodophilicity. Specifically, the FeN 4 and NiN 4 sites primarily enhance polyiodide immobilization and mass transport, respectively. The P ligands further strengthen these functions by tuning the Fe site from low to medium spin state and creating the anion-rich inner Helmholtz plane at Ni sites. Benefiting from this dual-metal atomic catalyst, the iodine cathode exhibits high cycling stability and ultralow self-discharge rate under a low E/I ratio. This work provides insights into regulating the aqueous halogen cathode interface for long cycle life.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5c05786","authors":["Tao Xiao","Jin‐Lin Yang","Ruo Xu","Hengyue Xu","Huan Liu","Jia Li","Haoming Bao","Xiaoyan Jin","Seong‐Ju Hwang","Zhe Wang","Hong Jin Fan"],"tags":["Chemistry","Cathode","Catalysis","Aqueous solution","Electrolyte"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5c05786","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"oa:W7131637779","name":"Cradle-to-Gate Assessment and Mitigation of Embodied Carbon in Commercial Buildings","source":"openalex","abstract":"According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2024), carbon dioxide is the leading greenhouse gas driving global warming.

As a trial to control this, the current work aims to reuse the polymer waste mix (PM) as fillers in calcium silicate to prepare new composites of environmentally friendly polymer concrete. PM was first subjected to treatment to obtain treated PM (TPM) and then was filled in new dicalcium silicate cement with different concentrations. The microstructural characterizations declare the successful preparation of the dicalcium silicate base material. After the curing reaction, the precipitated carbonate main product is responsible for the gained properties. The CO 2 uptake% in the proposed composites reached 16.6%, referring to the successful storage of CO 2 gas during curing. The treatment reaction led to an increase in the flexural and compression strengths due to the strengthening of the polymer waste mix–cement interface; the strengths were increased gradually with more contents of TPM fillers. 7% TPM–cement concentration achieved the highest flexural strength and compression strength of10.2 and 12.7%, respectively, compared with blank cement. The used polymer improved slightly the pull-off force of the prepared cement, and 7 and 5% TPM–cement composites have the maximum values. All the proposed composites passed the impact testing without failure, where the combination between the polymer waste and silicate cement resulted in a stable composite surface. Compared with the blank, the different concentrations of TPM–cement composites show more stability against water absorption. In addition, the proposed composites and blank cement have a very low carbon dioxide emission.

Among SAF production pathways, alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) stands out for its scalability, supported by abundant feedstock availability and a well-established bioethanol industry. However, significant reductions in SAF carbon intensity (CI) require the use of future feedstocks (e.g., cellulosic) whose adoption is hindered by high capital costs for feedstock processing and ethanol upgrading. Here, we evaluate the financial viability and environmental implications of integrating an ATJ SAF biorefinery within a petroleum refinery, utilizing miscanthus and switchgrass as example feedstocks. Three scenarios are evaluated: standalone (benchmark), colocated, and repurposing (coprocessing SAF within the petroleum refinery). Results show repurposing reduces baseline capital costs by 36% and SAF minimum selling price (MSP) by 12% to 8.14 USD·gal –1; the superior performance of repurposing is consistent across both feedstocks. Integration has a limited effect on SAF CI, which remains stable across scenarios, whereas using cellulosic feedstocks reduces CI by over 70% relative to corn, with baseline values of 17.01 g CO 2 e·MJ –1 for miscanthus and 12.23 g CO 2 e·MJ –1 for switchgrass. Global sensitivity analysis reveals MSP declines with greater coprocessing levels.

This study presents an in-depth empirical analysis of a community-based renewable energy cooperative. The study employed a case study methodology, including a SWOT analysis framework, to describe the research subject and identify its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

Special attention is paid to the prospects for the development of the Russian hydrogen market. The authors of the review used the method of comparative analysis and analytical generalization of publications, programs and regulatory documents from different countries. The results of the comparative analysis led to the conclusion that most of the publications currently focus on the technical and technological aspects of hydrogen energy, solving the problem of increasing the efficiency of methods for the production, transportation, distribution and storage of hydrogen fuel. The results of the analytical generalization led to the conclusion that in all countries of the world, the technology for the production of highly environmentally friendly “green” hydrogen is at an early stage, which makes it highly dependent on government initiatives to develop hydrogen projects and government funding of both scientific research in this area and realizable projects. In addition, the peaks of interest in the field of hydrogen energy are associated with market changes in the fossil energy markets, which makes the development of this technology unstable and dependent on market conditions. Moreover, the focus of attention of a number of authors is the prospects for the development of the hydrogen market. It is concluded that many countries are ready to invest in the development of hydrogen energy and, given the growth in demand for hydrogen, are ready to export it at an affordable price. That is, in the future, the international hydrogen market, as technical, technological, and economic problems are solved, will grow. The results of the study also indicate the fundamental co-direction of the trends in the development of hydrogen energy in Russia with global trends. At the same time, it should be emphasized that the high resource and scientific and technological potential allows Russia to fully focus its strategy on its implementation, not only developing the domestic market but also acting as an exporter of hydrogen and expanding international cooperation in this area.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15228503","authors":["Elena Vechkinzova","Larisa P.

However, renewable heat sources such as solar collectors and heat pumps often cause fluctuations that challenge reliable operation. Thermal energy storage (TES)—particularly water-based sensible tanks, stratified reservoirs, and phase-change material (PCM) systems—provides an effective solution by decoupling heat supply and demand. In this review, tank-based TES technologies for agricultural applications, focusing on design, integration with renewable energy systems, and control strategies, are critically examined. Key performance aspects, including thermal stratification, state-of-charge estimation, and advanced predictive control, are analyzed to identify best practices and limitations. The review finds that sensible TES remains dominant in farm applications due to its low cost and durability, while latent (PCM/ice) and thermochemical storage provide a higher energy density and long-duration potential but are presently limited by material stability, system complexity, and cost. From an environmental perspective, TES contributes to reducing fossil fuel dependence, improving resource efficiency, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and boosting the resilience of rural farming systems. Overall, TES is recognized as a key enabling technology for climate-smart, energy-efficient, and sustainable agricultural operations. However, remaining research gaps include long-term field validation, standardized performance metrics, and life-cycle environmental assessment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18031311","authors":["Ahsan Mehtab","Hong-Seok Mun","Eddiemar B.

However, how diamine structure regulates the activation barrier of CO 2 absorption remains unclear, and the large number of amine candidates hinders efficient screening of low‐energy absorbents. To resolve these issues, this study first used DFT to investigate the regulation mechanism of diamines on CO 2 absorption and clarify key reaction pathways and structure‐activity relationships. It was confirmed that diamines react with CO 2 via a zwitterion mechanism, while diamine/tertiary amine mixtures react with CO 2 through single‐step proton transfer. Diamines with more primary amine sites have lower barriers; methyl/ethyl substitution, carbon chain extension (on either amine), or hydroxyl substitution (on diamines) increases the proton transfer barrier. To address low screening efficiency from excessive candidates, an efficient framework integrating DFT and active learning was constructed. Using DFT‐calculated reaction barriers, a feature mapping with RDKit descriptors was built, and an active learning model was developed via 10 iterative rounds. The model achieved high prediction accuracy ( R 2 = 0.821) for the rate‐determining step's activation barrier. SHAP analysis identified the steric‐related first‐order molecular connectivity index (T_Chi1v) as the dominant feature. Finally, the optimal amine pair (AEEA + EDMA, activation barrier: 0.8 kcal·mol −1 ) was identified. This work clarifies the core mechanism via DFT, enables efficient candidate screening via active learning, and explains the optimal combination's performance through mechanistic tracing—providing an interpretable route for developing low‐energy, high‐efficiency mixed amine absorbents and advancing carbon capture technology.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cnl2.70103","authors":["Yaguo Li","Mengran Niu","Zekun Jiang","Shuqi Qin","Yunong He","Chunming Xu","Tianhang Zhou","Xingying Lan"],"tags":["Amine gas treating","Chemistry","Zwitterion","Diamine","Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cnl2.70103","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"oa:W3133989242","name":"Core/Shell Metal Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals for Optoelectronic Applications","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Core/shell structured metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are emerging as a type of material with remarkable optical and electronic properties.

This article examines the LVC mechanisms adopted for the Grand Paris Express, one of Europe’s largest ongoing urban transit projects, led by the state-owned Société des Grands Projets (SGP). It combines LVC literature with the sociology of policy instruments to analyse the selection and implementation of LVC tools, along with their outcomes on urban governance and spatial planning. Drawing on documentary analysis and interviews with representatives of the SGP and transport and planning institutions, the study highlights a shift in LVC from a tax-based to a development-based instrument, resulting in the launching of around eighty real estate projects on land acquired for the metro. This shift both reflects and shapes the broader reconfiguration of metropolitan governance and evolving models of infrastructure financing. It is bolstered by the SGP’s transformation into an entrepreneurial actor, embracing new operational models that amplify the role of major private developers and embed market logics in public land development. While the ongoing projects—shaped by local trade-offs and marked by heterogeneity—support transit-oriented development and housing production near stations, the design of the development-based instrument undermines the provision of affordable housing. Thus, the paper draws attention to the inherent biases of the LVC instruments and to the potential for adverse socio-spatial outcomes, calling for further research on the interconnections between infrastructure financing, LVC policy instrumentation and urban planning. • The paper bridges the Land Value Capture (LVC) literature with policy instrumentation approaches and explores the case of the Grand Paris Express metro project. • It traces the shift by Société des Grands Projets from tax-based to development-based LVC tools, enabling over 100 real estate projects on metro-acquired public land. • It demonstrates how this shift reflects and shapes broader transformations in Paris metropolitan governance. • It analyses the implementation process and local trade-offs shaping real estate projects. • It discusses the impacts of LVC instruments on urban governance, spatial planning, and affordable housing near future metro stations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landusepol.2025.107854","authors":["Juliette Maulat","Natacha Aveline"],"tags":["Metropolitan area","Context (archaeology)","Real estate","Corporate governance","Value capture"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landusepol.2025.107854","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"oa:W7133492702","name":"Control of Brominated and Iodinated DBPs within a Drinking Water Distribution System with Granular Activated Carbon and Biological Filtration","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide This study evaluated the effectiveness of parallel field-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) and biological activated carbon (BAC) filters for removing brominated and iodinated disinfection byproducts (Br-/I-DBPs) from a drinking water distribution system and associated changes in calculated additive toxicity (CAT). Over an 11 month period, 23 of 37 monitored DBP species were detected in the feedwater, with Br-/I-DBPs constituting 72% of trihalomethanes (THMs), 20% of haloaldehydes (HALs), 67% of haloacetonitriles (HANs), and 48% of haloacetic acids (HAAs). GAC effectively decreased all ambient HANs, HALs, and HAAs to below method reporting limits and completely removed THMs up to 3000 bed volumes, resulting in a 99% reduction in CAT. BAC removed all HANs, HALs, and HAAs but showed limited THM removal; however, CAT was reduced by 99%. Following GAC or BAC treatments, supplemental chlorination led to the formation of THMs, HALs, and HAAs─though no HANs─restoring 30–55% of the original CAT, primarily driven by brominated HALs. Microbial analysis revealed taxa, (e.g., Sphingomonas, Rhodospirillales, and Nitrosomonadales ) capable of DBP/precursor degradation, alongside taxa associated with opportunistic pathogens underscoring the need for post-treatment disinfection. Overall, GAC and BAC are effective strategies for mitigating Br-/I-DBPs in distribution systems, though rechlorination partially offset treatment benefits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5c12117","authors":["George William Kajjumba","Ceonie M.

Additionally, 2DM can replace traditional polymer binders (e.g., MXenes). This arrangement also underscores the critical role of interfacial mechanics between 2DM and active materials. Furthermore, 2DM can be designed to function as an electrode itself. For instance, a porous graphene network has been reported to possesses approximately five times the capacity of a traditional graphite anode. Consequently, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical properties of 2DM in EESS is paramount. However, modeling 2DM in EESS poses significant challenges due to the intricate coupling of mechanics and electrochemistry. For instance, defective graphene tends to favor adatom adsorption (e.g., Li+) during charging. In cases of strong adsorption, adatoms may not readily detach from electrodes during discharging. As a result, in such scenarios, adsorption-desorption (charge-discharge) processes govern the mechanical properties of 2DM when used as binders and current collectors. Regrettably, most existing studies on the mechanical properties of 2DM in EESS have failed to adequately address these critical issues. This perspective paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent progress in the chemo-mechanics of 2DM's mechanical properties. A wide spectrum of multiscale modeling approaches, including atomistic/molecular simulations, continuum modeling, and machine learning, are discussed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2311.06403","authors":["Dibakar Datta"],"tags":["Adsorption","Anode","Graphene","Nanotechnology","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-11-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2311.06403","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"oa:W4385716503","name":"Extension of Methane Emission Rate Distribution for Permian Basin Oil and Gas Production Infrastructure by Aerial LiDAR","source":"openalex","abstract":"Aerial LiDAR measurements at 7474 oil and gas production facilities in the Permian Basin yield a measured methane emission rate distribution extending to the detection sensitivity of the method, 2 kg/h at 90% probability of detection (POD).

In a field experiment, we analyzed the effect that three plant species (a grass, forb, and legume), and mixtures of these, had on soil fungal and bacterial community structures, as well as their associated legacy effects under a following crop, the grass Lolium multiflorum. We utilized six sward types, three monocultures (Lolium perenne, Cichorium intybus and Trifolium pratense), two bi‐species mixtures, and a mixture of the three species. Soil samples were taken from these swards in March (at the end of a three year conditioning phase) and in June, August, and September after L. multiflorum was established, that is, the legacy samplings. When present, the differing monocultures had a significant effect on various aspects of the fungal community: structure, OTU richness, the relative abundance of the phylum Glomeromycota, and indicator OTUs. The effect on bacterial community structure was not as strong. In the multi‐species swards, a blending of individual plant species monoculture effects (identity effect) was seen in (a) fungal and bacterial community structure and (b) fungal OTU richness and the relative abundance of the Glomeromycota. This would indicate that plant species identity, rather than diversity effects (i.e., the interactions among the plant species), was the stronger determinant. During the legacy samplings, structural patterns in the fungal and bacterial communities associated with the previous swards were retained, but the effect faded with time. These results highlight that plant species identity can be a strong driver of soil microbial community structures. They also suggest that their legacy effect on the soil microbiome may play a crucial role in following crop performance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.6560","authors":["Aaron Fox","A.

Processing bisulfite sequencing data is often challenging owing to the computational demands of mapping a low-complexity, asymmetrical library and the lack of a unified processing toolset to produce an analysis-ready methylation matrix from read alignments. To address these shortcomings, we have developed BiSulfite Bolt (BSBolt), a fast and scalable bisulfite sequencing analysis platform. BSBolt performs a pre-alignment sequencing read assessment step to improve efficiency when handling asymmetrical bisulfite sequencing libraries. FINDINGS: We evaluated BSBolt against simulated and real bisulfite sequencing libraries. We found that BSBolt provides accurate and fast bisulfite sequencing alignments and methylation calls. We also compared BSBolt to several existing bisulfite alignment tools and found BSBolt outperforms Bismark, BSSeeker2, BISCUIT, and BWA-Meth based on alignment accuracy and methylation calling accuracy. CONCLUSION: BSBolt offers streamlined processing of bisulfite sequencing data through an integrated toolset that offers support for simulation, alignment, methylation calling, and data aggregation. BSBolt is implemented as a Python package and command line utility for flexibility when building informatics pipelines.

By employing trend analysis, spatial clustering, the Hurst index, and climate contribution evaluation, we analyzed the spatial and temporal changes, sustainability, and the relative contribution of climate impacts on forest carbon sinks. The results are as follows: The carbon sink capacity of forests in Guangxi increased continuously from 2000 to 2023, at a rate of 3.57 g C·m−2·a−1, reaching 39.19% higher in 2023 than in 2000. The carbon sink capacity was higher in the southwest and lower in the northeast, with hotspots mainly located in evergreen/deciduous broad-leaved forest areas. The Hurst index indicates that 84.44% of regions are likely to maintain this increasing trend, suggesting stability in forest carbon sink function. The climate contribution rate to forest carbon sinks was moderate, with significant temporal fluctuations. Temperature governed annual variation in forest carbon sinks, influencing up to 36.37% of the area. The annual average contribution rate of climate change to forest carbon sinks was 30.28%, but there were temporal fluctuations and spatial heterogeneity. Over time, climate contributions had a positive driving impact; however, extreme climate events tended to produce a negative effect. The pattern of forest carbon sinks in Guangxi showed a “heat sink-coupling” phenomenon, with 16.23% of the hotspots of forest carbon sinks coinciding with temperature control zones, highlighting the enhancing effect of temperature rise on carbon sinks against a background of water and heat synergy. This study provides a scientific basis for the assessment of forest carbon sink potential and climate suitability management in Guangxi.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/f17020151","authors":["Jianfei Mo","Hao Yan","Bei Hu","Cheng Chen","Xiyuan Zhou","Yanli Chen"],"tags":["Carbon sink","Environmental science","Climate change","Sink (geography)","Ecosystem"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/f17020151","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:22.760Z"},{"id":"oa:W2568186487","name":"Eugenol specialty chemical production in transgenic poplar (Populus tremula × P. alba) field trials","source":"openalex","abstract":"A foundational study assessed effects of biochemical pathway introduction into poplar to produce eugenol, chavicol, p-anol, isoeugenol and their sequestered storage products, from potentially available substrates, coniferyl and p-coumaryl alcohols. At the onset, it was unknown whether significant carbon flux to monolignols vs. other phenylpropanoid (acetate) pathway metabolites would be kinetically favoured. Various transgenic poplar lines generated eugenol and chavicol glucosides in ca. 0.45% (~0.35 and ~0.1%, respectively) of dry weight foliage tissue in field trials, as well as their corresponding aglycones in trace amounts. There were only traces of any of these metabolites in branch tissues, even after ~4-year field trials. Levels of bioproduct accumulation in foliage plateaued, even at the lowest introduced gene expression levels, suggesting limited monolignol substrate availability. Nevertheless, this level still allows foliage collection for platform chemical production, with the remaining (stem) biomass available for wood, pulp/paper and bioenergy product purposes. Several transformed lines displayed unexpected precocious flowering after 4-year field trial growth. This necessitated terminating (felling) these particular plants, as USDA APHIS prohibits the possibility of their interacting (cross-pollination, etc.) with wild-type (native plant) lines. In future, additional biotechnological approaches can be employed (e.g. gene editing) to produce sterile plant lines, to avoid such complications. While increased gene expression did not increase target bioproduct accumulation, the exciting possibility now exists of significantly increasing their amounts (e.g. 10- to 40-fold plus) in foliage and stems via systematic deployment of numerous 'omics', systems biology, synthetic biology and metabolic flux modelling approaches.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/pbi.12692","authors":["Lu Da","Xianghe Yuan","Sung‐Jin Kim","Joaquim V.

Alleviating materials criticality and addressing supply-chain risks of vanadium are key to sustaining the growth of VFB deployment. Here, we present living databases gathered from vanadium stakeholders across the world that capture a holistic, up-to-date snapshot of the vanadium economy along vectors of production, processing, and large-scale battery installations. To mitigate risks to vanadium supply chains and encourage long-term resource availability, numerous opportunities are evaluated, including expanded primary mining in untapped, resource-rich regions, increased secondary production to promote a circular resource economy, and the risks and benefits of state actors in incentivizing supply response and modifying market volatility. By aligning technological innovation with strategic resource management, vanadium can both advance the energy transition through energy storage and serve as an exemplar for building resilient supply chains for other critical materials. The global energy transition requires robust and scalable energy storage solutions to address the intermittency of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) have emerged as a leading candidate because of their long cycle life, recyclability, and a distinctive combination of safety at scale by dint of using an aqueous electrolyte, independent modulation of power and capacity, extended cycle lives in excess of 20 years, and low self-discharge. From a supply-chain perspective, vanadium is subject to geopolitical, economic, and technological constraints that impact its availability and price. Though vanadium has historically been closely tied via supply and demand with the construction steel industry, the explosive growth in vanadium deployment for energy storage in the last decade has created unprecedented demand. This work presents a comprehensive and dynamic view of mineral access and deployment through “living” databases mapping vanadium production, processing, and VFB deployment across the world. These databases are intended to inform energy researchers, investors, manufacturers, and policymakers by offering granular, real-time insight into the vanadium ecosystem, thereby providing a transparent foundation for informed strategic decision-making. The databases and analyses provide a lens on potential strategies for building resilient, geographically diversified supply chains, including specific models of capital investments, leasing agreements allocating risk and operating costs, and the development of strategic stockpiles. This work provides a template for integrating mineral-criticality considerations into energy transition planning, explores interconnections with traditional sectors, and serves as a model for addressing supply risks in other critical materials beyond vanadium as renewable integration and energy storage resilience are adopted at greater scales. Living databases of critical minerals production, processing, and deployment are critical to enabling the energy transition. Such databases guide prioritization of sustainable exploration, enable granular mapping of raw material cost and availability to long-duration energy storage (LDES) build out, and identify strategies for accelerating LDES adoption through amelioration of supply-chain bottlenecks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2025.102139","authors":["Benjamin L.

Thus, the hexose phosphate pools of the cytosol and the chloroplast represent important metabolic resources that are maintained through action of phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) and phosphoglucose mutase interconverting glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, and glucose 1-phosphate. Here, we investigated the impact of disrupted cytosolic PGI (cPGI) function on plant viability and metabolism. Overexpressing an artificial microRNA targeted against cPGI (amiR-cpgi) resulted in adult plants with vegetative tissue essentially free of cPGI activity. These plants displayed diminished growth compared with the wild type and accumulated excess starch in chloroplasts but maintained low sucrose content in leaves at the end of the night. Moreover, amiR-cpgi plants exhibited increased nonphotochemical chlorophyll a quenching during photosynthesis. In contrast to amiR-cpgi plants, viable transfer DNA insertion mutants disrupted in cPGI function could only be identified as heterozygous individuals. However, homozygous transfer DNA insertion mutants could be isolated among plants ectopically expressing cPGI. Intriguingly, these plants were only fertile when expression was driven by the ubiquitin10 promoter but sterile when the seed-specific unknown seed protein promoter or the Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter were employed. These data show that metabolism is apparently able to compensate for missing cPGI activity in adult amiR-cpgi plants and indicate an essential function for cPGI in plant reproduction. Moreover, our data suggest a feedback regulation in amiR-cpgi plants that fine-tunes cytosolic sucrose metabolism with plastidic starch turnover.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.114.241091","authors":["Hans‐Henning Kunz","Shirin Zamani-Nour","Robert Hausler","Katja Ludewig","Julian I.

The interventions are classified into three strategies: (1) increasing carbon inputs through deep‐rooting and diverse species grasslands, reducing forage cropping and deferred grazing management; (2) increasing protection of carbon stocks by water table management on organic soils, reducing cropping on organic soils, full inversion tillage grassland renewal, the addition of clay minerals and enhanced rock weathering and (3) the adoption of integrated systems including establishing tree clusters into grasslands and agroforestry. We estimated the land area where these interventions could realistically be implemented in A‐NZ and assessed their potential impact on mitigating national overall agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. The potential impact of each intervention ranged from <1% to 2.5% of national agricultural greenhouse gas emissions over 20 years. However, confidence in these approaches is hindered by a lack of research data where these approaches have been tested for different soil types and conditions. Notably, water table management, which reduces carbon loss from organic soils, was the only intervention that could achieve moderate, short‐ and long‐term impacts with a confidence level assessed as ‘likely’. We conclude that reducing further soil carbon losses and achieving modest increases in soil carbon stocks are possible but will require economic and political incentives that encourage the integration of multiple interventions at the farm scale.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/sum.13113","authors":["David Whitehead","Samuel R.

Presodiation can improve ICE by compensating for sodium loss caused by irreversible defects in HC. However, research on how the active sodium content during presodiation affects the formation and stability of the preconstructed solid electrolyte interface (SEI) remains limited. Based on this background, this work introduces many pyrrolic nitrogen (N‐5) sites into HC through pyrolysis of a urea‐HC composite, working in synergy with chemical presodiation to enhance sodium‐ion provision. Experimental and theoretical investigations reveal that the N‐5 sites strengthen the adsorption capability for Na + and its ability to capture PF 6 − from the electrolyte, promoting the preformation of a stable, inorganic‐rich SEI layer. As a result, the PS‐0.5NHC achieves an excellent ICE of 98.54%, a capacity retention of 90.6% after 1000 cycles at 1.5 A g −1 . In a full‐cell configuration, the ICE is also significantly improved from 70.74% to 91.53%.

However, the metabolic adaptations enabling BAT to respond to fasting and refeeding cycles are not well understood. Using mass spectrometry techniques-Liquid Chromatography (LC), Capillary Electrophoresis (CE), and Spatially Resolved Imaging-we demonstrate that BAT exhibits a unique free fatty acid (FFA) and lipid-bound FA profile, with enrichment of very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs) and C13-C14 FAs compared to white adipose tissue (WAT) in male C57BL/6 mice. Alternate-day fasting (ADF) triggered a dynamic change of these FFAs in BAT, accompanied by selective alterations of upper glycolysis, glyceroneogenesis, and triglyceride synthesis, a shift less pronounced in WAT. Additionally, several BAT lipid species, including glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, and sphingolipids, transitioned from highly unsaturated to more saturated lipids upon refeeding, alongside significant spatial and dynamic reprogramming. Mechanistically, periodic fasting and refeeding activated mTORC1, and genetic inactivation of mTORC1 in BAT diminished ADF-induced lipid saturation, storage, and redistribution in the C57BL/6 background. These findings reveal that while BAT generally prefers unsaturated fats, it undergoes substantial lipid saturation and spatially dynamic reprogramming in response to fasting and refeeding, offering new insights into BAT's adaptive role in metabolic homeostasis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3003593","authors":["Xing Zhang","Ting Jiang","Chunqing Wang","Valeria F.

It is practical to capture only the dominant physicochemical processes with a physics-based model for engineering applications, as the degradation mechanism of LiBs is complex and interconnected. Numerous factors dramatically affect the performance of LiBs; thus, it is necessary to use the real-time operational data to estimate the model parameters online. The combination of the degradation mechanism and real-time data can effectively reduce the complexity of the parameter identification, and offers practicality from the perspective of engineering applications. In this study, a transfer learning method based on a back propagation neural network (BPNN) is introduced as the data-driven parameter identification method for the physics-based fractional-order model (FOM) of the LiBs. Accelerated aging tests are designed for commercial LiBs to reduce the experimental time, and the reference performance tests under different aging states are implemented to capture the degradation modes with increasing cycle numbers. The initial key parameters of the fresh FOM are estimated based on the BPNN with two hidden layers. The model-based transfer learning is proposed to estimate the key parameters of the aging FOM.

Four configurations are compared using thermodynamic, exergy, and full-life-cycle economic models. LPTS allows the PSA adsorption-tank bank to replace the dedicated CCES low-pressure vessel, reducing capital cost by 50.74%. CR recharges 230.20 t of captured CO2 into the high-pressure tank without changing compressor power (16.72 MW), while extending discharge from 4.00 to 5.28 h and increasing average turbine output from 10.02 to 10.77 MW. Consequently, round-trip efficiency rises from 59.92% to 64.38% and energy storage density from 3.19 to 4.53 kWh/m3. Based on the comparative results, PSA-CCUS-CCES-LPTS-CR is selected as the preferred configuration, generating 56.83 MWh per discharge with an LCOE of 0.090 $/kWh and simple and discounted payback periods of 3.46 and 3.90 years.

At COP28, countries pledged to triple renewable energy capacity to 11,000 GW and double energy efficiency gains to 4% annually by 2030. The agriculture, forestry, and land use (AFOLU) sector also committed to reducing emissions and enhancing carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Using the En-ROADS modeling tool, this study evaluates five global scenarios combining varying degrees of fossil fuel reduction and CDR deployment: Ref (based on current COP28-aligned pledges), Ref++ (Ref with added fossil fuel taxes and carbon pricing), limCDR (Ref++ plus limited deployment of technological CDR up to 50% of its potential), modCDR (Ref with moderate CDR deployment up to 65% of potential, but no fossil fuel taxation), and allCDR (Ref with full utilization of technological CDR potential and no fossil fuel taxation). While population growth is held constant across all scenarios, economic outcomes diverge. The Ref scenario fails to meet the 1.5°C goal and produces the lowest long-term GDP per capita. Ref++ achieves the temperature target but entails sharper near-term fiscal adjustments. modCDR improves macroeconomic performance relative to Ref but does not limit warming below 1.7°C. allCDR defers mitigation costs through heavy reliance on large-scale removals, reducing early fiscal pressure but increasing long-term dependence on CDR. limCDR emerges as the most balanced pathway that meets the 1.5°C target while delivering the highest GWP and GDP per capita by 2100, combining phased fossil mitigation with moderate CDR deployment. These findings demonstrate that neither fossil fuel phaseout nor CDR alone is sufficient; a calibrated mix of early mitigation and targeted removals is essential to achieve climate goals while maintaining long-term economic resilience.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100590","authors":["Daniel O.

Its scalability is limited by slow aqueous dissolution rates of metal silicate minerals, primarily olivine. Aqueous dissolution rate laws are well-established and apply to projects where CO₂ is dissolved in water before injection underground. An alternative approach reduces water consumption by directly injecting CO₂. However, mineralisation kinetics with CO₂-rich fluids are uncertain. Past observations are mostly qualitative and inconsistently report higher and lower reactivity compared to aqueous conditions. Here we quantify olivine dissolution rates using a novel plug-flow reactor setup in which capillarity is used to saturate a forsteritic olivine grain pack with CO₂, complemented by X-ray imaging. Co-injection of water and liquid CO₂ at elevated capillary pressure resulted in dissolution rates matching or exceeding aqueous rates, with rate enhancement of up to a factor of 1.1-3.76 depending on how the normalisation to surface area is treated. Conversely, limiting water mobility inhibited rates and is likely an explanation for past observations. Reactivity with liquid CO 2 is governed by the mobility of interfacial water films rather than total water content. Carbon mineralisation with the direct injection of CO₂ will have comparable or faster mineralisation as aqueous injection while requiring far less water.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100682","authors":["Mohamed A.

A key challenge lies in determining the pathway of captured CO2, whether through permanent geological storage or conversion into value-added products to enhance system viability. As hard-to-abate sectors and the power industry remain major sources of emissions, a comprehensive assessment of the technical, environmental, and economic performance of CCUS pathways is essential. This study evaluates bioenergy with carbon capture and storage/utilization (BECCUS) in the context of the Polish energy sector. Techno-environmental performance was assessed across three pathways: CO2 storage in saline formations, CO2 mineralization, and methanol synthesis. The results show levelized costs of 59.9 EUR/tCO2,in for storage, 109.7 EUR/tCO2,in for mineralization, and 631.1 EUR/tCO2,in for methanol production. Corresponding carbon footprints (including full chain emissions) were −936.4 kgCO2-eq/tCO2,in for storage, −460.6 kgCO2-eq/tCO2,in in for mineralization, and 3963.4 kgCO2-eq/tCO2,in for methanol synthesis.

Traditional metal (e.g., critical materials) mining industries release alkaline waste via mining tailings with high concentrations (99.2%) of calcium and magnesium oxide (CaO, MgO). Incorporating mining waste into OAE processes is less energy intensive than processes relying on calcination of limestone for CaO production. The solubility limit of simulated mining waste in American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) seawater is 75 mg⋅L -1 , which can sequester 118 mg of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). The solubility in seawater retrieved from Sunset Beach, FL was 25 mg⋅L -1 . Changes in pH, total alkalinity, and total inorganic carbon were analyzed to confirm the successful addition of simulated alkaline mining waste without the formation of secondary precipitation. This study proposes a new OAE strategy where a facility is developed nearby ocean waters that mixes alkaline waste with seawater. Subsequently, the seawater is met with previously captured, pure CO 2 to bring the pH back to 8.2 and eliminate the risks of pH shock and secondary precipitation. Technoeconomic analysis estimated an energy requirement of 1.4 GJ per ton of CO 2 stored that resulted in a processing cost of $266 per ton of CO 2 sequestered (4.2 GJ per ton, $807 per ton of CO 2 for real seawater).

Here, the accurate representation of control structures is essential for capturing plant behaviour during transients such as shutdowns and start-ups. In addition to process modelling and control structures, electrical modules are required not only to provide power to process and automation systems but also to evaluate system responses to potential power failures and severe disturbances such as blackouts, where motor-driven equipment ceases to function. Thermal–hydraulic modelling approaches, including mixture-flow and multi-equation two-fluid models, are discussed and evaluated for their ability to simulate complex two-phase flows under dynamic conditions.

This study included a model for evaluating sustainability in road maintenance. It integrated carbon management and value engineering to facilitate the selection of the best alternatives for achieving sustainability. The literature on sustainability criteria covering the project life cycle was consulted, and 27 key factors across the three sustainability criteria were selected.

Road maintenance scenarios were then developed, and the carbon emissions for each were calculated. The cost of carbon disposal was added to the project life cycle cost using CCS technology. This model was named SRMVE because it ultimately combines economic and environmental challenges into a single factor to facilitate a comparison of the proposed alternatives and achieve the best degree of sustainability. The model results were compared with the sustainability scores generated by the AHP to assess the extent of agreement.

Charging stores energy and leads to reversible uptake of CO 2 from an external gas reservoir. These devices use cheap and safe materials, are extremely stable to repeated cycling, and possess dual-use functionality; however, their use is limited by relatively lower energy storage performance and CO 2 capacity than equivalent devices. Additionally, further optimisation of these devices towards industrial deployment is limited by 1) the unclear mechanism of capacitive charging, particularly in regards to the role of pH; 2) the unclear mechanism of CO 2 capture; 3) uncertainties around aqueous chemistry in nanoconfinement. In this work, we demonstrate a variety of in situ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy techniques for probing behaviour of nanoconfined aqueous electrolyte inside electrodes: Magic-angle-spinning 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy allows measurement of speciation of water, electrolyte ions, and CO 2 into different physical environments (e.g. in-pore vs ex-pore) and different chemical environments (e.g. CO 2 vs. HCO 3 - ) inside electrodes; NMR exchange spectroscopy enables quantitative measurement of exchange between these different chemical and physical environments; Application of NMR probe molecules allows for characterisation of aqueous chemistry under nanoconfinement. Through these techniques, we identify significant changes in CO 2 dissolution in nanoconfined electrolyte compared to bulk electrolyte,[3] changes in speciation upon altering electrolyte pH which correlate with changing electrochemical behaviour,[4] and changes in the in-pore aqueous chemistry upon charging the activated carbon electrode. These insights provide significant insight into how species behave inside nanoconfined electrolyte, and demonstrate the applicability of in situ NMR techniques for similar studies across other energy storage, separation, and catalytic systems.

This study examines the economic feasibility of implementing CCS at the Jawa 9 & 10 coal-fired power plant in Suralaya, Indonesia, through a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) over 30 years. Four CCS scenarios are analyzed based on two transportation methods (pipeline, shipping) and two carbon pricing methods (domestic, international). Results show that domestic price scenarios yield a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 0.5–0.6, signaling financial infeasibility. In contrast, international price scenarios achieve a BCR of 1.1–1.2, reflecting stronger revenues from carbon credits. Pipeline transport consistently outperforms shipping due to lower operating costs. Sensitivity analysis highlights that a 1% increase in carbon price results in about a 1.003–1.005% increase in the BCR, while a 1 %age point increase in the discount rate decreases the BCR by about 3.8–4.3%. The findings suggest that under current pricing mechanisms, CCS remains economically unviable in Indonesia. Policy priorities include enhancing carbon pricing, expanding concessional financing, and fostering public-private partnerships to support large-scale CCS deployment.

Here, we report MgO-stabilized CaO microspheres (Ca85Mg15:M) decorated with Ni, Co, Ru, or Pt for CaL-DRM that feature a well-defined spherical morphology and a more uniform dispersion of the active metal than in the sol-gel-based references as confirmed by SEM, HAADF-STEM, and EDX.

When performing CaL-DRM experiments over 100 cycles on Ca85Mg15:Ru, a stable space time yield of ∼38 mmol H2+CO s -1 mol metal -1 was observed.

However, conventional seismic interpretation and standard Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) often struggle to resolve complex, overlapping plume layers, particularly when amplitude contrast is low. This study establishes a novel Transformer-based AI workflow using U-SegFormer, a Transformer-based architecture with U-Net-like skip connections, to perform multi-class segmentation of CO 2 plumes in the Sleipner 4D seismic dataset. Unlike binary (plume/non-plume) approaches, our multi-class strategy simultaneously delineates nine distinct horizons, enabling layer-by-layer analysis of subsurface dynamics. Comparative benchmarks demonstrated that U-SegFormer, combined with Focal Loss, significantly outperformed standard CNN and SegFormer models. While the highest accuracy was achieved in the high-amplitude shallow layers, the proposed model also demonstrated improved sensitivity to deep, low-amplitude horizons compared to conventional methods. The model also successfully identified vertical migration paths (chimneys), offering enhanced structural interpretation. Temporal generalization tests revealed that the model trained on 2006 data maintained high prediction accuracy for the 2008 survey (a two-year interval). However, an extended four-year prediction (2010) showed performance degradation in deeper layers due to progressive amplitude attenuation, while shallow layers remained robust. These findings suggest that deep learning-based prediction accuracy can serve as a data-driven indicator for optimizing the frequency of 4D seismic acquisition.

By focusing on two main archetypes—large-scale power generation and industrial biofuel production—this research offers a focused assessment of the BECCS environment. The core of this analysis is built upon in-depth case studies of two pioneering but controversial projects: the Drax Power Station in the UK, a large-scale electricity generation facility, and the Archer Daniels Midland ethanol plant in the US, an industrial application. To disrupt Northern-centric climate narratives, the analysis concurrently scrutinizes Brazil’s sugarcane ethanol sector. Operating as a uniquely scaled Global South archetype, the Brazilian model demonstrates how the immense thermodynamic advantages of high-purity carbon capture are frequently undermined by severe socio-ecological friction. This creates a 'green paradox' in which the pursuit of atmospheric carbon removal risks triggering localized ecological degradation and land-use conflicts. Through these real-world examples, the paper highlights significant challenges that temper optimistic projections. Key issues interrogated include the contested sustainability of biomass supply chains, particularly the reliance on imported wood pellets, which raises concerns about deforestation, carbon debt, and lifecycle emissions. The analysis reveals that full carbon accounting for BECCS is far from straightforward, often failing to adequately capture emissions from land-use change and logistics, thereby questioning its net-negative credentials. Furthermore, the economic viability of BECCS is shown to be heavily reliant on substantial and long-term public subsidies, raising questions about its cost-effectiveness compared to other climate solutions. Finally, the paper delves into the profound environmental and social risks inherent in large-scale BECCS deployment, including intense land-use competition threatening biodiversity and global food security, and the unresolved safety and permanence concerns of long-term geological CO2 storage. The paper concludes that while BECCS may hold a limited niche role in energy sector decarbonisation, its widespread deployment is fraught with peril. A cautious path forward is essential, one that is contingent upon the enforcement of stringent sustainability criteria, the development of robust and equitable policy frameworks, and an unwavering focus on prioritizing direct emission reductions at the source.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9829030/v1","authors":["Eduardo G.

Yet, minimal scholarships have explored the sustainability of the urban planning model towards understanding the complexity of the components. Using a two-step triangulation approach, this paper presents a structured overview of the LCC initiative in China as it relates to the transition to a sustainability paradigm. The data collection approach includes a comprehensive review of 238 articles on LCC to identify and categorize LCC components. Furthermore, discourse and framing analysis was used to develop and synthesize a conceptual framework for assimilating the components into four core sustainable development principles: Integration, implementation, equity, and scalability and replicability. The results indicate that LCC development in China is bias towards economic and environmental technological innovations and strategies. Additionally, several critical sustainability issues of LCC pilots were identified. These include a lack of social equity planning concerns for the most vulnerable population, dearth of social reforms that cater to lifestyle and behavioral change, top-down planning and decision-making processes, a technocratic rationalization planning approach, inconsistent LCC targets on inter-generational justice concerns, absence of an effective national “sharing and learning” city–city network system, and several barriers to implementation. We conclude that the applied theoretical and conceptual inquiry into the field of LCC is pertinent to mitigate climate change and achieve sustainable urban development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su11164342","authors":["Garfield Wayne Hunter","Gideon Sagoe","Daniele Vettorato","Jiayu Ding"],"tags":["Sustainability","Technocracy","Sustainable development","Social sustainability","Environmental planning"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-08-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su11164342","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W3188098848","name":"Recent Developments in Microbial Electrolysis Cell-Based Biohydrogen Production Utilizing Wastewater as a Feedstock","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon constraints, as well as the growing hazard of greenhouse gas emissions, have accelerated research into all possible renewable energy and fuel sources.

The nanoparticle surface attribute is modified for a specific purpose to use in several applications by dint of the tunable properties of CDs. Multifunctional CDs have a great potential to replace traditionally toxic and costly quantum dots through surface modification. This review presents how multifunctional CDs conjugated with other nanoparticles take an active part in medicine and biomedical fields with chemical and physical collaborations. Moreover, the basics of conjugate formation by different chemical and physical interactions of functional molecules are appraised from multiple perspectives.

The surface modification affects fluorescence quantum yields, complexation potential, fluorescent coloring, and quenching capabilities. Resultant-modified nanoconjugates are powerful surfaces for drug delivery, biosensing, bioimaging, analysis, and therapeutic methods.

In general, the thermal hazards of the LIB can be caused or aggravated by several factors including physical, electrical and thermal factors, manufacturing defect and even battery aging. Due to the activity and combustibility of traditional battery components, they usually possess a relatively high thermal hazard and a series of side reactions between electrodes and electrolytes may occur under abusive conditions, which would further lead to the thermal failure of LIBs. Besides, the thermal hazards generally manifest as the thermal runaway behaviors such as high-temperature, ejection, combustion, explosion and toxic gases for a single battery, and it can even evolve to thermal failure propagation within a battery pack.

It is essential to reduce CO 2 emissions to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement, but this presents challenges for the stability of energy supplies. This review examines emerging technologies that address this dilemma, focusing on carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture and utilization (CCU). Carbon capture and storage involves capturing CO 2 emissions – particularly from high‐emitting industries such as petrochemicals, cement, and steel – for long‐term geological storage. Carbon capture and utilization provides pathways for converting captured CO 2 into value‐added products, including fuels, chemicals, and polymers, supporting circular economy principles. This review critically evaluates the four main carbon capture approaches – post combustion, precombustion, oxy‐fuel combustion, and direct air capture. Integration of these technologies with renewable energy sources is identified as a promising route toward global decarbonization and sustainable economic growth. However, widespread adoption of CCS and CCU remains limited because of high costs, technical barriers, and substantial energy demands. Continued innovation, together with strong policy support, will be required to overcome these barriers and enable large‐scale implementation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bbb.70120","authors":["Fawad Ahmad","Nimra Laraib","M.

The results of those interactions are manifold and range from altered technological properties (in emulsions, foams, gels) to sensory changes (colour formation, altered taste and smell) and different biological activity (allergy, antimicrobial effects, hydrolysis). The present review discusses both the positive and the negative side effects of such interactions and explores the potential to fine-tune protein functionality during processing not only in model solutions but also in more complex foods. Traditionally, studies have focused on the negative effects of interactions between protein and plant ingredients (e.g. discolouration and solubility changes), but more recent studies highlight positive effects (e.g. enhanced emulsifying capacity, reduced allergy and targeted production of protein pigments). By controlling food processing conditions (e.g. protein nativity) and the food matrix (e.g. presence of antioxidative compounds or thiol groups, pH value during storage), the observed effects can be prevented or induced. On the basis of the listed findings, future processes can be developed that take such interactions into account to enable targeted co-processing of plant compounds with proteins.

Electrochemical properties of polybenzoxazine-derived carbon materials were also examined, noting particularly high pseudocapacitance and charge stability that would make benzoxazines suitable as electrodes.

However, the role of plant economic strategies in the effects of living root activity on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics through rhizodeposition remains unexplored, despite SOC being the largest terrestrial carbon pool. Using a continuous 13 C‐labelling method allowing partitioning of plant and soil sources to carbon fluxes and pools, we studied here the linkages between plant economic strategies and SOC cycling processes in a ‘common garden’ greenhouse experiment. It includes a panel of 12 grassland species selected along a gradient of economic traits and belonging to three functionnal groups (C3 grasses, forbs and legumes). All species induced an acceleration of native SOC mineralization but this rhizosphere priming effect (RPE) substantially differed across species and varied eleven‐fold by the end of the experiment (from +26% to +295% relative to unplanted soil). Interspecific variation in RPE was primarily linked to plant photosynthetic activity associated to species economic strategies of light and CO 2 resource acquisition and processing. Fast‐growing acquisitive species, such as legumes, featured large RPE, in relation with their high canopy photosynthesis coupled to high leaf photosynthetic capacity and large net primary productivity allocated above‐ground. This large RPE was further associated with high root metabolic activity, rhizodeposition and soil microbial activity. In contrast, fine‐root growth and economic traits related to soil resource foraging ability were poor predictors of RPE. The formation of new root‐derived SOC varied nine‐fold across species and was similarly positively related to the net primary productivity allocated above‐ground. Fast‐growing acquisitive species with a high photosynthetic activity induced a disproportionately large RPE relative to SOC formation. Synthesis . Overall, our study demonstrates that rhizodeposition is a major mechanism through which plant economic strategies of grassland species control soil carbon dynamics. Acquisitive versus conservative species were associated with high versus low rates of photosynthesis and rhizodeposition, in turn leading to fast versus slow SOC turnover. This emphasizes the importance of considering rhizosphere processes for understanding plant species effects on soil biogeochemistry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.13276","authors":["Ludovic Henneron","Camille Cros","Catherine Picon‐Cochard","Vida Rahimian","Sébastien Fontaine"],"tags":["Soil carbon","Agronomy","Rhizosphere","Ecosystem","Photosynthesis"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-08-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.13276","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T10:59:23.899Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403754421","name":"Anaerobic digestion of agricultural waste for biogas production and sustainable bioenergy recovery: a review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Anaerobic digestion constitutes a sustainable method for waste management and renewable energy generation, addressing significant environmental and societal challenges.

Therefore, designing MOFs with high porosity and developing suitable activation methods for preserving and accessing their pore space have been a common theme in MOF research. Reticular chemistry allows for the facile design of MOFs from highly tunable metal nodes and organic linkers in order to realize different pore structures, topologies, and functionalities. With the hope of shedding light on future research endeavors in MOF porosity, it is worthwhile to examine the development of MOFs, with an emphasis on their porosity and how to properly access their pore space.

The goal of conservation and restoration activities is to maintain biological diversity and the ecosystem services that this diversity provides. These activities traditionally focus on the measures of species diversity that include only information on the presence and abundance of species. Yet how diversity influences ecosystem function depends on the traits and niches filled by species. 2. Biological diversity can be quantified in ways that account for functional and phenotypic differences. A number of such measures of functional diversity (FD) have been created, quantifying the distribution of traits in a community or the relative magnitude of species similarities and differences. We review FD measures and why they are intuitively useful for understanding ecological patterns and are important for management. 3. In order for FD to be meaningful and worth measuring, it must be correlated with ecosystem function, and it should provide information above and beyond what species richness or diversity can explain. We review these two propositions, examining whether the strength of the correlation between FD and species richness varies across differing environmental gradients and whether FD offers greater explanatory power of ecosystem function than species richness. 4. Previous research shows that the relationship between FD and richness is complex and context dependent. Different functional traits can show individual responses to different gradients, meaning that important changes in diversity can occur with minimal change in richness. Further, FD can explain variation in ecosystem function even when richness does not. 5. Synthesis and applications . FD measures those aspects of diversity that potentially affect community assembly and function. Given this explanatory power, FD should be incorporated into conservation and restoration decision‐making, especially for those efforts attempting to reconstruct or preserve healthy, functioning ecosystems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2664.2011.02048.x","authors":["Marc W.

Still, the specific patterns and drivers of plant lignin components and microbial necromass accumulation in these ecosystems are unclear. In response, we carried out a study along a 40‐year mangrove restoration chronosequence, measuring lignin phenol and amino sugar concentrations in soil profiles (0–100 cm) as indicators of plant‐based and microbial‐derived residues, respectively. Our results showed that restoration significantly increased plant lignin phenol and amino sugar concentrations, with mature mangroves having much higher concentrations than tidal flats. During restoration, the fungal necromass was greater than the bacterial necromass. The factors influencing the lignin phenols were tree biomass, total nitrogen, pH and salinity, while those influencing the formation of amino sugars were total biomass, soil C: N ratio and pH. While the amino sugars decreased, the lignin phenols increased with the content of SOC, providing evidence of the important role lignin phenol components play in the formation of SOC in mangrove. Synthesis : By separating soil carbon into plant‐based and microbial‐derived components, our results demonstrate that the carbon stock in mangrove sediments is vulnerable to disturbances and that changes from anaerobic to aerobic conditions cause significant carbon mineralisation. The precise identification of soil carbon sources in blue carbon ecosystems could aid in elucidating the mechanisms of soil carbon sequestration and their responses to environmental changes.

Traditionally, CCS projects targeted mostly high permeability sandstone formations, despite the numerous carbonate fields undergoing CO2 injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) in the United States or Canada. Because of the reactivity between calcite minerals and CO2 saturated water, chalk formations, characterized by high porosity and low permeability, have been previously portrayed as infeasible CO2 storage sites. Although previous laboratory investigations were carried out to assess the performance of CO2-EOR in North Sea chalk fields, these studies did not result in any field-scale demonstration projects; this may soon change since a positive movement towards CO2 storage in depleted oil fields has been recently initiated. In this work, we reviewed existing studies on CO2 injection in chalk to address the suitability of this type of formation for CCS. Although the evidence on the thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical behaviour of chalk in the presence of CO2-saturated aqueous solutions is mixed, the majority of flooding tests performed on reservoir core samples do not support further weakening relative to water injection conditions nor significant changes in the petrophysical properties. Along with the weakening effect and using the Danish North Sea chalk fields as a case study, we addressed events that impact the storage site safety such as fault reactivation, and caprock and well integrity. Furthermore, monitoring techniques relevant to offshore locations are also discussed. Based on studies on other types of carbonates, and considering the characteristics of chalk (e.g., permeability, wettability, and reactivity) we analysed the relevance of different trapping mechanisms (i.e., solution, capillary, and mineral) but also several effects (i.e., chemical, biological, mechanical) that can lead to loss of injectivity. The main observations and conclusions in this work can be easily extrapolated to other chalk formations worldwide.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2021.103826","authors":["María Bonto","Michael J.

By examining their structural features, adsorption capacities, moisture stability, and economic viability, the strengths and weaknesses of each material are assessed. Additionally, five different methods for delivering these materials into depleted oil and gas reservoirs are discussed: direct suspension injection, polymer-assisted transport, foam-assisted delivery, encapsulation with controlled release, and preformed particle gels.

These conditions are exacerbated due to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. While there have been studies linking the built environment and air pollution with health, they have ignored the aggravating role of UHI. The past urban planning literature in this field has also ignored the science of materials, vehicles and air pollution, and technological solutions for reducing cumulative health impacts of air pollution and UHI. Air Pollution, built environment and human health are complex discussion factors that involve several different fields. The built environment is linked with human health through opportunities of physical activity and air quality. Recent planning literature focuses on creating compact and walkable urban areas dotted with green infrastructure to promote physical activity and to reduce vehicle emission-related air pollution. Reduced car use leading to reduced air pollution and UHI is implied in the literature. The literature from technology fields speaks to the issue of air pollution directly. Zero emission cars, green infrastructure and building materials that absorb air pollutants and reduce UHI fall within this category.

Considerable amounts of ammonia (NH3) and greenhouse gases may be emitted during storage, which has deleterious environmental effects. The emission levels can be expected to depend on oxygenation level inside the bulk of the stored manure and therefore on storage conditions. An experiment was thus set up to study gaseous emissions during storage of the solid fraction, and the effects of the oxygenation of manure heaps on emissions of NH3 and various greenhouse gases. Emissions of NH3 and the greenhouse gases methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2) from an uncovered and covered heap of solids separated from pig slurry were compared, and related to the oxygenation level inside the manure heap. Approximately 15% of the initial nitrogen content was lost when separated solids were stored uncovered. Of the initial nitrogen content, 4.8% was lost as N2O, 0.3% was lost as NH3, while the 9.6% unaccounted for was assumed lost as dinitrogen (N2). Of the initial carbon content, 28% was lost during uncovered storage; the majority of this was emitted as CO2 (25%), while 1.3% was emitted as CH4. Oxygenation level inside the heap was found to influence the production and emission of greenhouse gases. Covering the heap with an airtight material delayed aeration of the bulk of the stored manure, which reduced the internal heat production, degradation of organic matter, and emission of NH3 and greenhouse gases. Emissions of NH3, N2O, and CH4 were reduced by 12%, 99%, and 88%, respectively, when the manure heap was covered with an airtight material.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2006.02.013","authors":["Matthew Hansen","K.

The well-tailored Mn/NiCo-LDH displays a capacity up to 518 C g −1 (1 A g −1 ), a remarkable rate performance (78%@100 A g −1 ) and a long cycle life (without capacity decay after 10,000 cycles). We clarified that the moderate electron transfer between the released Mn species and Co 2+ serves as the pre-step, while the compressive strain induces structural deformation with promoted reaction dynamics. Theoretical and operando investigations further demonstrate that the Mn sites boost ion adsorption/transport and electron transfer, and the Mn-induced effect remains active after multiple charge/discharge processes.

Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Accordingly, it is important to update these guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Various reviews have described the range of assays that have been used for this purpose. Nevertheless, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to measure autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes. \\n \\nFor example, a key point that needs to be emphasized is that there is a difference between measurements that monitor the numbers or volume of autophagic elements (e.g., autophagosomes or autolysosomes) at any stage of the autophagic process versus those that measure flux through the autophagy pathway (i.e., the complete process including the amount and rate of cargo sequestered and degraded). In particular, a block in macroautophagy that results in autophagosome accumulation must be differentiated from stimuli that increase autophagic activity, defined as increased autophagy induction coupled with increased delivery to, and degradation within, lysosomes (in most higher eukaryotes and some protists such as Dictyostelium) or the vacuole (in plants and fungi). In other words, it is especially important that investigators new to the field understand that the appearance of more autophagosomes does not necessarily equate with more autophagy. In fact, in many cases, autophagosomes accumulate because of a block in trafficking to lysosomes without a concomitant change in autophagosome biogenesis, whereas an increase in autolysosomes may reflect a reduction in degradative activity. It is worth emphasizing here that lysosomal digestion is a stage of autophagy and evaluating its competence is a crucial part of the evaluation of autophagic flux, or complete autophagy. \\n \\nHere, we present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes. These guidelines are not meant to be a formulaic set of rules, because the appropriate assays depend in part on the question being asked and the system being used. In addition, we emphasize that no individual assay is guaranteed to be the most appropriate one in every situation, and we strongly recommend the use of multiple assays to monitor autophagy. Along these lines, because of the potential for pleiotropic effects due to blocking autophagy through genetic manipulation, it is imperative to target by gene knockout or RNA interference more than one autophagy-related protein. In addition, some individual Atg proteins, or groups of proteins, are involved in other cellular pathways implying that not all Atg proteins can be used as a specific marker for an autophagic process. In these guidelines, we consider these various methods of assessing autophagy and what information can, or cannot, be obtained from them. Finally, by discussing the merits and limits of particular assays, we hope to encourage technical innovation in the field.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15548627.2015.1100356","authors":["Daniel J.

Here we review what is known about this flux as related to forest disturbance using examples from North America. The global RH flux from soils has been estimated at 53–57 Pg C yr−1, but this does not include contributions from other sources (i.e., dead wood, heart-rots). Disturbance-related inputs likely account for 20–50% of all RH losses in forests, and disturbances lead to a reorganization of ecosystem carbon pools that influences how RH changes over succession. Multiple controls on RH related to climate, the material being decomposed, and the decomposers involved have been identified, but how each potentially interacts with disturbance remains an open question. An emerging paradigm of carbon dynamics suggests the possibility of multiple periods of carbon sinks and sources following disturbance; a large contributing factor is the possibility that postdisturbance RH does not always follow the monotonic decline assumed in the classic theory. Without a better understanding and modeling of RH and its controlling factors, it will be difficult to estimate, forecast, understand, and manage carbon balances of regions in which disturbance frequency and severity are changing. Meeting this challenge will require (1) improved field data on processes and stores, (2) an improved understanding of the physiological and environmental controls of RH, and (3) a more formal analysis of how model structure influences the RH responses that can be predicted.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2010jg001495","authors":["Mark E.

Using an environmental product declaration (EPD) is an objective and standardised solution for communicating the environmental impacts of construction products and especially their carbon footprint.

Postcombustion CO 2 capture with chemical solvent is considered one of the most important technologies in order to reduce CO 2 emission. Amino acid salt solutions have attracted special attention in recent years due to their excellent physicochemical properties, e.g., low volatility, less toxicity, and high oxidative stability, as well as capture performance comparable with conventional amines. In this study, physicochemical properties of 20 amino acids are reported and their CO 2 absorption performance discussed. The topics covered in this review include the most relevant properties of amino acids including CO 2 loading capacity, cyclic capacity, equilibrium constant, density, viscosity, dissociation constant, CO 2 solubility, CO 2 diffusivity, reaction kinetic between CO 2 and amino acid salts, reaction rate constant, surface tension, heat of CO 2 absorption, precipitation, toxicity, solvent degradation, and corrosion rate. This review provides the most recent information available in the literature on the potential of using amino acid salts as a solvent for CO 2 capture which can help improve the performance of the CO 2 capture process from flue gas streams.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/revce-2020-0012","authors":["Rouzbeh Ramezani","Saeed Mazinani","Renzo Di Felice"],"tags":["Chemistry","Solvent","Solubility","Reaction rate constant","Flue gas"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-09-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1515/revce-2020-0012","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W2126667602","name":"Comparison of CO2 Photoreduction Systems: A Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are a major contributor to the climate change equation, and thus strategies need to be developed in order to reduce increases in CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

Here, we investigate the still poorly understood implications of delaying CDR actions, focusing on integrating direct air capture and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (DACCS and BECCS) into the European Union power mix. Under an indicative target of −50 Gt of net CO 2 by 2100, delayed CDR would cost an extra of 0.12−0.19 trillion EUR per year of inaction. Moreover, postponing CDR beyond mid-century would substantially reduce the removal potential to almost half (−35.60 Gt CO 2 ) due to the underused biomass and land resources and the maximum technology diffusion speed. The effective design of BECCS and DACCS systems calls for long-term planning starting from now and aligned with the evolving power systems. Our quantitative analysis of the consequences of inaction on CDR—with climate targets at risk and fair CDR contributions at stake—should help to break the current impasse and incentivize early actions worldwide.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-26680-3","authors":["Ángel Galán‐Martín","Daniel Vázquez","Selene Cobo","Niall Mac Dowell","José A.

We summarized the effect of several cover crops in soil properties such as soil moisture content, soil microbial activities, soil carbon sequestration, nitrate leaching, soil water, and soil health. Selection of cover crops usually depends on the primary benefits which are provided by cover crops. Other factors may also include weather conditions, time of sowing, either legume or non-legume and timing and method of killing of a cover crop. In recent times, cover crops are also used for mitigating climate change, suppressing weeds in crops and increasing exchangeable nutrients such as Mg2+ and K+.

However, they may also regulate immune responses and the composition of the intestinal microbiota. Consequently, their importance in a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases is emerging. AIMS: To review the physiology and metabolism of SCFA in humans, cellular and molecular mechanisms by which SCFA may act in health and disease, and approaches for therapeutic delivery of SCFA. METHODS: A PubMed literature search was conducted for clinical and pre-clinical studies using search terms: 'dietary fibre', short-chain fatty acids', 'acetate', 'propionate', 'butyrate', 'inflammation', 'immune', 'gastrointestinal', 'metabolism'. RESULTS: A wide range of pre-clinical evidence supports roles for SCFA as modulators of not only colonic function, but also multiple inflammatory and metabolic processes. SCFA are implicated in many autoimmune, allergic and metabolic diseases. However, translating effects of SCFA from animal studies to human disease is limited by physiological and dietary differences and by the challenge of delivering sufficient amounts of SCFA to the target sites that include the colon and the systemic circulation. Development of novel targeted approaches for colonic delivery, combined with postbiotic supplementation, may represent desirable strategies to achieve adequate targeted SCFA delivery. CONCLUSIONS: There is a large array of potential disease-modulating effects of SCFA. Adequate targeted delivery to the sites of action is the main limitation of such application. The ongoing development and evaluation of novel delivery techniques offer potential for translating promise to therapeutic benefit.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/apt.14689","authors":["Paul A.

In this review we focus on mammalian autophagy, and we give an overview of the understanding of its machinery and the signaling cascades that regulate it. As recent studies have also shown that autophagy is critical in a range of normal human physiological processes, and defective autophagy is associated with diverse diseases, including neurodegeneration, lysosomal storage diseases, cancers, and Crohn's disease, we discuss the roles of autophagy in health and disease, while trying to critically evaluate if the coincidence between autophagy and these conditions is causal or an epiphenomenon.

For the agriculture sector to achieve reduced GHG emission, climate-smart activities and improved food security will be needed for this sector to become a climate-smart landscape.

Besides, we also show that Queensland is the largest agricultural GHG contributor compared to other states and territories. The article also captures any possible sources within smart farming that may contribute to carbon emissions and suggest ways to reduce GHG emissions.

At elevated sea-surface temperatures this relationship breaks down and the corals bleach by expelling their endosymbiotic algae or these algae lose their photosynthetic pigments. The effect of thermally induced bleaching on the C cycling of 2 ecologically important coral species was investigated. The acquisition and assimilation of photoautotrophically and heterotrophically acquired C was examined via pulse-chase labeling experiments in thermally bleached and non-bleached Montipora capitata and Porites compressa corals. In non-bleached corals photoautotrophic and heterotrophic C were acquired and assimilated very differently. Namely, photoautotrophically acquired C was used to meet short-term metabolic demands and calcification, whereas heterotrophically acquired C was retained in both the coral host and endosymbiotic algae. In bleached corals there was a dramatic reduction in the assimilation of photoautotrophically acquired C by the endosymbiotic algae, in the translocation of C from the algae to the coral host, and in the C assimilated in the skeleton. The level of heterotrophically acquired C assimilated into bleached corals was similar to that in non-bleached corals, and was a direct source of organic C to the endosymbiotic algae. This host-to-endosymbiotic algal supply of heterotrophic C may stimulate endosymbiotic algal recovery. These findings show the importance of both photoautotrophic and heterotrophic C to coral function and demonstrate that both play a crucial role in the recovery from bleaching.

This paper details work to identify and assess the potential of high temperature adsorbents suitable for precombustion capture. The aim of this paper is to schematically identify adsorbents that are suitable for carbon capture in different temperature ranges. A critical aspect of this work is to assess the materials not only in terms of carbon dioxide isotherms and absolute loading, but to consider the wide range of other properties that are required to achieve an industrially feasible adsorbent - selectivity, cycling capacity, stability, kinetics, high pressure loading, fate of other components (including water, H2S, NH3, CO and N2). It is only when all these requirements are sufficiently met, that an adsorbent can be consider worthy of industrial consideration. A range of analytic screening tests are described to enable a full characterisation of the merit of a specific adsorbent. The adsorbents investigated are zeolites (NaX, calcium chabazite), commercially available hydrotalcite, layered double hydroxides/oxides (LDH/Os), and magnesium double salts. Each operates in a different temperature range and offers potential for integration within an Integrated Gasification and Combined Cycle precombustion process train. Some of the promising and significant conclusions of this work are - Magnesium double salts present very favourable carbon dioxide isotherms and demonstrate significant carbon dioxide loading and the isotherms are suitable for PSA or TSA operation at high temperature. LDHs or their derivatives as layered double oxides can adsorb up to 1.5mol/kg CO2. Water does not affect CO2 sorption, and the material has good recyclability in TSA. The selectivity of hydrotalcite is well documented. However there is no reported literature on the adsorptive behaviour of these materials with respect to trace components - H2S and NH3. These results are reported. Calcium chabazite displays useful CO2 loading potential in a unique temperature range around 200 ∘C. NaX has the potential to replace Selexol at an operating temperate of 130 ∘C.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2009.01.082","authors":["Ranjeet Kumar Singh","M. K.

Therefore, many experimental and theoretical studies have been conducted recently to investigate the mass-transfer performance enhancement of nanoabsorbents in different fields. This paper reviews the mass-transfer characteristics and enhancement mechanisms of nanoabsorbents for CO2 capture. The proposed enhancement mechanisms are discussed in terms of both absorption (bubble breaking, shuttle, and interfacial mixing effects) and regeneration (activation energy, thermal, and surface effects) processes using nanoabsorbents. The results of laboratory-scale experiments and parametrical analysis indicate that the CO2 absorption performance of nanomaterials is maximized when they exhibit a high surface area, high thermal conductivity, small cluster size, and magnetic properties, which can be explained using the proposed theoretical models. Based on this, the following selection criteria for nanomaterials to maximize the CO2 absorption/regeneration performance are proposed: thermophysical properties, powder/cluster size, concentration, and addition of nanoabsorbents. In the future, mass-transfer studies need to be conducted for real-life applications and should account for dispersion stability and integrated absorption/regeneration processes. Moreover, optimum geometric conditions and gas–liquid contact modes need to be achieved in the reactor for real-life applications. Finally, this paper suggests future research directions for the absorption and regeneration of CO2 for industrial applications, including the scale-up method, numerical approach, and life cycle analysis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2020.110524","authors":["Jae Won Lee","Seonggon Kim","Israel Torres Pineda","Yong Tae Kang"],"tags":["Mass transfer","Absorption (acoustics)","Materials science","Dispersion (optics)","Nanomaterials"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-11-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2020.110524","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W4310154699","name":"Hydrogen Technology Development and Policy Status by Value Chain in South Korea","source":"openalex","abstract":"Global transitions from carbon- to hydrogen-based economies are an essential component of curbing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.

Thermochemical energy storage (TES) is an essential way to solve this problem. Due to the advantages of cheap price, high energy density, and ease to scaling, CaO-based material is thought as one of the most promising storage mediums for TES. In this paper, TES based on various cycles, such as CaO/CaCO3 cycles, CaO/Ca(OH)2 cycles, and coupling of CaO/Ca(OH)2 and CaO/CaCO3 cycles, were reviewed. The energy storage performances of CaO-based materials, as well as the modification approaches to improve their performance, were critically reviewed. The natural CaO-based materials for CaO/Ca(OH)2 TES experienced the multiple hydration/dehydration cycles tend to suffer from severe sintering which leads to the low activity and structural stability. It is found that higher dehydration temperature, lower initial sample temperature of the hydration reaction, higher vapor pressure in the hydration reactor, and the use of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) reactors all can improve the energy storage performance of CaO-based materials. In addition, the energy storage performance of CaO-based materials for CaO/Ca(OH)2 TES can be effectively improved by the various modification methods. The additions of Al2O3, Na2Si3O7, and nanoparticles of nano-SiO2 can improve the structural stabilities of CaO-based materials, while the addition of LiOH can improve the reactivities of CaO-based materials. This paper is devoted to a critical review on the development on thermochemical energy storage based on CaO-based materials in the recent years.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su10082660","authors":["Yi Yuan","Yingjie Li","Jianli Zhao"],"tags":["Energy storage","Materials science","Calcium looping","Process engineering","Chemical engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-07-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su10082660","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W3133554230","name":"Biotransformation of Methane and Carbon Dioxide Into High-Value Products by Methanotrophs: Current State of Art and Future Prospects","source":"openalex","abstract":"Conventional chemical methods to transform methane and carbon dioxide into useful chemicals are plagued by the requirement for extreme operating conditions and expensive catalysts. Exploitation of microorganisms as biocatalysts is an attractive alternative to sequester these C1 compounds and convert them into value-added chemicals through their inherent metabolic pathways. Microbial biocatalysts are advantageous over chemical processes as they require mild-operating conditions and do not release any toxic by-products. Methanotrophs are potential cell-factories for synthesizing a wide range of high-value products via utilizing methane as the sole source of carbon and energy, and hence, serve as excellent candidate for methane sequestration. Besides, methanotrophs are capable of capturing carbon dioxide and enzymatically hydrogenating it into methanol, and hence qualify to be suitable candidates for carbon dioxide sequestration. However, large-scale production of value-added products from methanotrophs still presents an overwhelming challenge, due to gas-liquid mass transfer limitations, low solubility of gases in liquid medium and low titer of products. This requires design and engineering of efficient reactors for scale-up of the process. The present review offers an overview of the metabolic architecture of methanotrophs and the range of product portfolio they can offer. Special emphasis is given on methanol biosynthesis as a potential biofuel molecule, through utilization of methane and alternate pathway of carbon dioxide sequestration. In view of the gas-liquid mass transfer and low solubility of gases, the key rate-limiting step in gas fermentation, emphasis is given toward reactor design consideration essential to achieve better process performance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2021.636486","authors":["Krishna Kalyani Sahoo","Gargi Goswami","Debasish Das"],"tags":["Methane","Carbon dioxide","Biochemical engineering","Chemistry","Carbon sequestration"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-03-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2021.636486","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W2895367201","name":"Low-carbon roadmap of chemical production: A case study of ethylene in China","source":"openalex","abstract":"The increasing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are primarily driven by the rapid expansion of energy-intensive sectors such as the chemical industry. This work selects ethylene, one of the most important chemicals, as a model study to represent the low-carbon roadmap of chemical production. Four strategies improving the efficiency of fossil resource usage, developing the technology for carbon capture and storage (CCS), CO2 chemical conversion, and converting biomass resources into chemicals, are used to reduce CO2 emissions. A comprehensive analysis of the life cycle CO2 emissions of different ethylene production routes has been performed to compare their emission reduction potential. The results indicate that the BMTO (biomass to olefins via methanol-to-olefins) pathway releases the least CO2 (− 1.3 t CO2/t ethylene), while the CFTO (coal to olefins via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis) possesses the highest CO2 emissions. Combining CCS with BMTO results in CO2 emissions of – 8.2 t per t ethylene. Furthermore, we analysed the annual production and CO2 emissions of ethylene in the last 17 years and integrated this real-time change with different pathways. The CO2 emissions have decreased by 29.4% per t ethylene from 2000 to 2016 in China. However, the total amount of CO2 emissions continuously increases in ethylene production industry. Given that China has promised to hit peak CO2 emissions by 2030, a scenario analysis was performed. To achieve this goal, the ratios of BMTO, CO2MTO (CO2 to olefins via methanol-to-olefins) or BETE (ethanol to ethylene pathway originating from biomass) pathways should increase by 1.0%, 1.2% and 1.1% annually from 2020, respectively. Then more than 500 million metric tons of CO2 will be eliminated from 2020 to 2040. The results highlight the pivotal role that regulation and policy administration can play in controlling CO2 emissions by increasing average technological level and turning to low-carbon routes in the chemical industry in China.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2018.08.008","authors":["Zhitong Zhao","Katie Chong","Jingyang Jiang","Karen Wilson","Xiaochen Zhang","Feng Wang"],"tags":["Ethylene","Greenhouse gas","Carbon dioxide","Biomass (ecology)","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-10-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2018.08.008","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W3115153444","name":"A mini-review on ZnIn2S4-Based photocatalysts for energy and environmental application","source":"openalex","abstract":"As one of the most attractive and eco-friendly technologies, semiconductor photocatalysis is demonstrated as a potential strategy to solve global energy shortage environmental pollution problems.

However, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) has not been improved to a level, only 33%, as predicted by the researchers while developing nitrogen management tools and methods. The primary objective of this review article is to evaluate methods and tools available to manage nitrogen. Several methods, soil testing, plant tissue testing, spectral response, fertilizer placement and timing and vegetative indexes (leaf area index, and NDVI) through drones, handheld sensors, and satellite imagery were reviewed on the subject of user-friendly and effectiveness towards NUE. No single method was found sufficient to counter the nitrogen loss. Some methods were found time consuming and unsynchronized with N uptake behavior of particular crop, for example, plant tissue testing. Use of precision agriculture tools, such as GreenSeeker, Holland Crop Circle, drone, and satellite imagery, were found better compared to conventional methods such as soil testing, but these tools can only be used when the crop is up. Therefore, N management is possible only through inseason N application methods. When 70% of the applied nitrogen is used by the crops within 25–30 days after planting, for example, corn and potatoes, it is required to apply major N rates through inseason approach and some N at planting using soil test reports. In conclusion, this article strongly advocates using two or more methods in combination when managing N.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su10010051","authors":["Lakesh K.

Herein, for the first time, nitrogen-rich porous carbon was prepared with chemical activation (KOH) of commercial melamine formaldehyde resin (MF) in a single step. It has been shown that the porosity parameters of the as-prepared carbons were successfully tuned by controlling the activating temperature and adjusting the amount of KOH. Thus, as-prepared N-rich porous carbon shows a large surface area of 1658 m2/g and a high N content of 16.07 wt%. Benefiting from the unique physical and textural features, the optimal sample depicted a CO2 uptake of up to 4.95 and 3.30 mmol/g at 0 and 25 °C under 1 bar of pressure. More importantly, as-prepared adsorbents show great CO2 selectivity over N2 and outstanding recyclability, which was prominently important for CO2 capture from the flue gases in practical application. An in-depth analysis illustrated that the synergetic effect of textural properties and surface nitrogen decoration mainly determined the CO2 capture performance. However, the textural properties of carbons play a more important role than surface functionalities in deciding CO2 uptake. In view of cost-effective synthesis, outstanding textural activity, and the high adsorption capacity together with good selectivity, this advanced approach becomes valid and convenient in fabricating a unique highly efficient N-rich carbon adsorbent for CO2 uptake and separation from flue gases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules28041772","authors":["Qiyun Yu","Jiali Bai","Jiamei Huang","Müslüm Demir","Ahmed A.

The industrial importance of solid adsorbents is only expected to grow due to the increased focus on carbon dioxide capture technology and energy-efficient separations. To evaluate the performance of an adsorbent and design a separation process, the adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics must be known. However, although diffusion kinetics determine the maximum production rate in any adsorption-based separation, this aspect has received less attention due to the challenges associated with conducting diffusion measurements. These challenges are exacerbated in the study of shaped adsorbents due to the presence of porosity at different length scales. As a result, adsorbent selection typically relies mainly on adsorption properties at equilibrium, i.e., uptake capacity, selectivity and adsorption enthalpy. In this Perspective, based on an extensive literature review on mass transfer of CO 2 in nanoporous adsorbents, we discuss the importance and limitations of measuring diffusion in nanoporous materials, from the powder form to the adsorption bed, considering the nature of the process, i.e., equilibrium-based or kinetic-based separations. By highlighting the lack of and discrepancies between published diffusivity data in the context of CO 2 capture, we discuss future challenges and opportunities in studying mass transfer across scales in adsorption-based separations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4c03086","authors":["Margot F.

Excessive and inefficient use of N fertilizer results in enhanced crop production costs and atmospheric pollution. Atmospheric nitrogen (71%) in the molecular form is not available for the plants. For world's sustainable food production and atmospheric benefits, there is an urgent need to up-grade nitrogen use efficiency in agricultural farming system. The nitrogen use efficiency is the product of nitrogen uptake efficiency and nitrogen utilization efficiency, it varies from 30.2 to 53.2%. Nitrogen losses are too high, due to excess amount, low plant population, poor application methods etc., which can go up to 70% of total available nitrogen. These losses can be minimized up to 15-30% by adopting improved agronomic approaches such as optimal dosage of nitrogen, application of N by using canopy sensors, maintaining plant population, drip fertigation and legume based intercropping. A few transgenic studies have shown improvement in nitrogen uptake and even increase in biomass. Nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, glutamine synthetase, glutamine oxoglutarate aminotransferase and asparagine synthetase enzyme have a great role in nitrogen metabolism. However, further studies on carbon-nitrogen metabolism and molecular changes at omic levels are required by using \"whole genome sequencing technology\" to improve nitrogen use efficiency.

The gas supply chain is characterized by large imbalances between supply and demand, where the underground gas storage (UGS) application plays a key role for creating strategic reserves, taking advantage of geological structures. On the contrary, human activities will require clean energy with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions to be environmentally viable. A key element of this strategy is the carbon capture and storage (CCS) application useful for confining CO2 into the geosphere to reduce anthropogenic emissions. The development of appropriate injection methods and long-term monitoring systems for leak detection of the underground storage of natural gas and CO2 is important to prevent negative effects, such as ground deformations and micro seismic events. In this work, a variety of monitoring applications were gathered and critically analyzed for a total of 60 scientific contributions spanning the world. This bibliographic work shows an analytical and statistical overview of the most common use of UGS and CCS, representing the different goals of these two applications and analyzing the main monitoring techniques used in the gathered contributions. Currently, UGS monitoring requires further development, especially through multidisciplinary approaches useful for identifying possible effects on the surface and gas leaks at depth; meanwhile, CCS solutions are still at the experimental stage, also because of the high costs for large-scale applications that still need specific research.

Currently, shale gas formations are considered as a suitable target for CO2 sequestration projects predominantly due to their wide availability. Compared to conventional geological formations including saline aquifers and coal seams, depleted shale formations provide larger storage potential due to the high adsorption capacity of CO2 compared to methane in the shale formation. However, the injected CO2 causes possible geochemical interactions with the shale formation during storage applications and CO2 enhanced shale gas recovery (ESGR) processes. The CO2/shale interaction is a key factor for the efficiency of CO2 storage in shale formations, as it can significantly alter the shale properties. The formation of carbonic acid from CO2 dissolution is the main cause for the alterations in the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the shale, which in return affects the storage capacity, pore properties, and fluid transport. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of CO2 exposure on shale properties is comprehensively reviewed, to gain an in-depth understanding of the impact of CO2/shale interaction on shale properties. This paper reviews the current knowledge of the CO2/shale interactions and describes the results achieved to date. The pore structure is one of the most affected properties by CO2/shale interactions; several scholars indicated that the differences in mineral composition for shales would result in wide variations in pore structure system. A noticeable reduction in specific surface area of shales was observed after CO2 treatment, which in the long-term could decrease CO2 adsorption capacity, affecting the CO2 storage efficiency. Other factors including shale sedimentary, pressure and temperature can also alter the pore system and decrease the shale “caprock” seal efficiency. Similarly, the alteration in shales’ surface chemistry and functional species after CO2 treatment may increase the adsorption capacity of CO2, impacting the overall storage potential in shales. Furthermore, the injection of CO2 into shales may also influence the wetting behavior. Surface wettability is mainly affected by the presented minerals in shale, and less affected by brine salinity, temperature, organic content, and thermal maturity. Mainly, shales have strong water-wetting behavior in the presence of hydrocarbons, however, the alteration in shale’s wettability towards CO2-wet will significantly minimize CO2 storage capacities, and affect the sealing efficiency of caprock. The CO2/shale interactions were also found to cause noticeable degradation in shales’ mechanical properties. CO2 injection can weaken shale, decrease its brittleness and increases its plasticity and toughness. Various reductions in tri-axial compressive strength, tensile strength, and the elastic modulus of shales were observed after CO2 injection, due to the dissolution effect and adsorption strain within the pores. Based on this review, we conclude that CO2/shale interaction is a significant factor for the efficiency of CCS. However, due to the heterogeneity of shales, further studies are needed to include various shale formations and identify how different shales’ mineralogy could affect the CO2 storage capacity in the long-term.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en13123200","authors":["Ahmed Fatah","Ziad Bennour","Hisham Ben Mahmud","Raoof Gholami","Md Mofazzal Hossain"],"tags":["Oil shale","Dissolution","Petroleum engineering","Geology","Carbon sequestration"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-06-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en13123200","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W4224982909","name":"Towards a CO2-neutral steel industry: Justice aspects of CO2 capture and storage, biomass- and green hydrogen-based emission reductions","source":"openalex","abstract":"A rapid transition towards a CO2-neutral steel industry is required to limit climate change. Such a transition raises questions of justice, as it entails positive and negative impacts unevenly distributed across societal stakeholders. To enable stakeholders to address such concerns, this paper assesses the justice implications of three options that reduce emissions: CO2 capture and storage (CCS) on steel (up to 70%), bio-based steelmaking (up to 50%), and green hydrogen-based steel production (up to 100%). We select justice indicators from the energy, climate, labour and environmental justice literature and assess these indicators qualitatively for each of the technological routes based on literature and desk research. We find context-dependent differences in justness between the different technological routes. The impact on stakeholders varies across regions. There are justice concerns for local communities because of economic dependence on, and environmental impact of the industry. Communities elsewhere are impacted through the siting of infrastructure and feedstock production. CCS and bio-based steelmaking routes can help retain industry and associated economic benefits on location, while hydrogen-based steelmaking may deal better with environmental concerns. We conclude that, besides techno-economic and environmental information, transparency on sector-specific justice implications of transforming steel industries is essential for decision-making on technological routes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2022.102598","authors":["Floris Swennenhuis","Vincent de Gooyert","Heleen de Coninck"],"tags":["Context (archaeology)","Economic Justice","Steelmaking","Environmental justice","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-04-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2022.102598","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W2521338131","name":"DNA in serum extracellular vesicles is stable under different storage conditions","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies, can be secreted by most cell types and released in perhaps all biological fluids. EVs contain multiple proteins, specific lipids and several kinds of nucleic acids such as RNAs and DNAs. Studies have found that EVs contain double-stranded DNA and that genetic information has a certain degree of consistency with tumor DNA. Therefore, if genes that exist in exosomes are stable, we may be able to use EVs genetic testing as a new means to monitor gene mutation. METHODS: In this study, EVs were extracted from serum under various storage conditions (4 °C, room temperature and repeated freeze-thaw). We used western blotting to examine the stability of serum EVs. Then, we extracted DNA from EVs and tested the concentration changing under different conditions. We further assessed the stability of EVs DNA s using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: EVs is stable under the conditions of 4 °C (for 24 h, 72 h, 168 h), room temperature (for 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h) and repeated freeze-thaw (after one time, three times, five times). Also, serum DNA is mainly present in EVs, especially in exosomes, and that the content and function of DNA in EVs is stable whether in a changing environment or not. We showed that EVs DNA stayed stable for 1 week at 4 °C, 1 day at room temperature and after repeated freeze-thaw cycles (less than three times). However, DNA from serum EVs after 2 days at room temperature or after five repeated freeze-thaw cycles could be used for PCR and sequencing. CONCLUSIONS: Serum EVs and EVs DNA can remain stable under different environments, which is the premise that EVs could serve as a novel means for genetic tumor detection and potential biomarkers for cancer diagnostics and prognostics.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-016-2783-2","authors":["Jin Yang","Keyan Chen","Zongying Wang","Yan Wang","Yan Wang","Jianzhi Liu","Li Lin","Yong Shao","Lihua Gao","Huihui Yin","Cong Cui","Zhao-Li Tan","Lie-jun Liu","Chuanhua Zhao","Gairong Zhang","Ru Jia","Lijuan Du","Yuling Chen","Rongrui Liu","Jianming Xu","Xianwen Hu","Youliang Wang","Youliang Wang"],"tags":["Microvesicles","Nucleic acid","DNA","Sanger sequencing","Exosome"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-09-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-016-2783-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W4390849682","name":"Recent advancements in the use of plastics as a carbon source for carbon nanotubes synthesis - A review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Plastics, which majorly consist of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE)), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc., are the most abundant municipal solid wastes (MSW).

Recently an approach referred to as simulation decomposition (SD) has been introduced that extends the analysis of Monte Carlo results by enhancing the explanatory power of the cause-effect relationships between the multi-variable combinations of inputs and the simulated outputs. SD constructs sub-distributions of the simulation output by pre-classifying some of the uncertain input variables into states, clustering the various combinations of these different states into scenarios, and then collecting simulated outputs attributable to each multi-variable input scenario. Since the contribution of subdivided scenarios to the overall output is easily portrayed visually, SD can highlight and disclose previously unidentified connections between the multi-variable combinations of inputs on the outputs. An SD approach is generalizable to any Monte Carlo model with negligible additional computational overhead and, hence, can be readily used for environmental analyses that employ simulation models.

This paper delivers three main outcomes. First, we identify key criteria for analyzing current ESMs and we describe seven current and future low-carbon energy system modeling challenges: the increasing need for flexibility, further electrification, emergence of new technologies, technological learning and efficiency improvements, decentralization, macroeconomic interactions, and the role of social behavior in the energy system transition. These criteria are then translated into required modeling capabilities such as the need for hourly temporal resolution, sectoral coupling technologies (e.g., P2X), technological learning, flexibility technologies, stakeholder behavior, cross border trade, and linking with macroeconomic models. Second, a Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) is used as a framework to identify modeling gaps while clarifying high modeling capabilities of MARKAL, TIMES, REMix, PRIMES, and METIS. Third, to bridge major energy modeling gaps, two conceptual modeling suites are suggested, based on both optimization and simulation methodologies, in which the integrated ESM is hard-linked with a regional model and an energy market model and soft-linked with a macroeconomic model.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2020.110195","authors":["Amirhossein Fattahi","Jos Sijm","André Faaij"],"tags":["Flexibility (engineering)","Computer science","Electrification","Energy modeling","Energy transition"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-08-27","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2020.110195","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W2996054151","name":"Harvesting graphene oxide – years 1859 to 2019: a review of its structure, synthesis, properties and exfoliation","source":"openalex","abstract":"A benchmark guide for tailoring graphene oxide from a practical viewpoint.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/c9tc03251g","authors":["Patrick Brisebois","Mohamed Siaj"],"tags":["Graphene","Materials science","Oxide","Exfoliation joint","Benchmark (surveying)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-12-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1039/c9tc03251g","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W4379055778","name":"Post-Combustion Capture of Carbon Dioxide by Natural and Synthetic Organic Polymers","source":"openalex","abstract":"The elevation of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere is responsible for global warming which in turn causes abrupt climate change and consequently poses a threat to living organisms in the coming years. To reduce CO2 content in the atmosphere CO2 capture and separation is highly necessary. Among various methods of CO2 capture post-combustion capture is very much useful because of its operational simplicity and applicability in many industries and power sectors, such as coal-fired power plants. Polymers with high surface area, high volume and narrow pores are ideal solid sorbents for adsorption-driven post-combustion CO2 capture. Natural polymers, such as polysaccharides are cheap, abundant, and can be modified by various methods to produce porous materials and thus can be effectively utilized for CO2 capture while the surface area and the pore size of synthetic porous organic polymers can be tuned precisely for high CO2 capturing capacity.

Key focus areas include: 1) intercalation-type materials such as Nb 2 O 5 , TiO 2 , and V 2 O 5 , which offer fast and reversible ion insertion without phase transitions; 2) redox-active materials like transition metal oxides and 2D materials (e.g., MXenes), which enhance charge storage through surface and near-surface Faradaic reactions; and 3) materials relying on surface adsorption mechanisms that enable ultrafast kinetics and excellent cycling stability. Special attention is given to nickel-based compounds NiO, Ni(OH) 2 , and related composites owing to their high theoretical capacitance, multiple valence states, and cost-effectiveness, making them promising for both supercapacitors and hybrid energy storage devices. The interplay between structural design, conductivity, and electrochemical behavior is critically assessed.

With growing scientific literature on different Carnot Battery technologies and data from ongoing pilot and demonstration projects worldwide, this article aims to provide a review on the most recent developments in the area. More specifically, three complementary aspects are addressed: i) the collection and cross-comparison of quantitative techno-economic performance data of different Carnot Battery systems based on scientific literature findings; ii) the discussion of proposed applications for Carnot Batteries at the energy system scale, including power and thermal service provisions and retrofit opportunities; iii) the discussion of the most recent commercial developments in Carnot Battery technologies. Through this, we present the commonalities and discrepancies between scientific research and system implementation in ongoing projects. Our results show (a) a clear difference in the techno-economics of various Carnot Battery technologies; (b) a wide range of some performance metrics due to the absence of empirical evidence; and, interestingly, (c) a certain discrepancy between the systems and applications most addressed by the scientific community and the projects under development. The harmonisation of these discrepancies and the inclusion of location-specific integration considerations are proposed as a way forward for performance advancement and future deployment of Carnot Batteries.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2022.105782","authors":["Andrea Vecchi","Kai Knobloch","Ting Liang","Harriet Kildahl","Adriano Sciacovelli","Kurt Engelbrecht","Yongliang Li","Yulong Ding"],"tags":["Carnot cycle","Renewable energy","Computer science","Systems engineering","Energy storage"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-10-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2022.105782","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W2936639403","name":"A study on embodied carbon transfer at the provincial level of China from a social network perspective","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2019.03.233","authors":["Kangjuan Lv","Feng Xia","Scott Kelly","Lei Zhu","Maozhi Deng"],"tags":["China","Embodied cognition","Carbon fibers","Spillover effect","Economic geography"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-03-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2019.03.233","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W4321499062","name":"Recent Advances of Carbon Dots with Afterglow Emission","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon dots (CDs) have gradually become a new generation of nano-luminescent materials, which have received extensive attention due to excellent optical properties, wide source of raw materials, low toxicity, and good biocompatibility.

Recommendations for future applications are also highlighted. It is found that S-A-P gels with six-coordinated aluminum environment dominate in SAP geopolymers, while the aluminum in N-A-S-H gels formed in the AAS geopolymers is characterized by four-coordinated features. Besides, the slow performance development of SAP geopolymer matrix under ambient temperature curing can be compensated through incorporating additional countermeasures (e.g., metal sources) which allow the tailored design of such geopolymers for certain in-situ applications, i.e., calcium-bearing C-(A)-S-H gels co-existed with N-A-S-H gels are dominant in AAS geopolymers, while S-A-P gels enhanced by phosphate-containing crystalline/amorphous phases are the main products in SAP geopolymers. Another advantage of SAP geopolymers is their environmental friendliness relative to the AAS geopolymers due to the utilization of phosphate activators that require lower production energy relative to silicate-containing activators. However, the higher cost of phosphate activators may confine the applications of SAP geopolymers in some exquisite or special fields.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmats.2019.00106","authors":["Yanshuai Wang","Yazan Alrefaei","Jian‐Guo Dai"],"tags":["Geopolymer","Aluminosilicate","Materials science","Portland cement","Curing (chemistry)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-05-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmats.2019.00106","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W3137549186","name":"Case Study of Polyvinylidene Fluoride Doping by Carbon Nanotubes","source":"openalex","abstract":"Modern material science often makes use of polyvinylidene fluoride thin films because of various properties, like a high thermal and chemical stability, or a ferroelectric, pyroelectric and piezoelectric activity.

Economics and carbon emissions are important indicators that should be thoroughly considered for evaluating the feasibility of energy storage technologies (ESTs). In this study, we study two promising routes for large-scale renewable energy storage, electrochemical energy storage (EES) and hydrogen energy storage (HES), via technical analysis of the ESTs. The levelized cost of storage (LCOS), carbon emissions and uncertainty assessments for EESs and HESs over the life cycle are conducted with full consideration of the critical links for these routes. In order to reduce the evaluation error, we use the Monte Carlo method to derive a large number of data for estimating the economy and carbon emission level of ESTs based on the collected data. The results show that lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries show the lowest LCOS and carbon emissions, at 0.314 US$ kWh-1 and 72.76 gCO2e kWh-1, compared with other batteries for EES. Different HES routes, meaning different combinations of hydrogen production, delivery and refueling methods, show substantial differences in economics, and the lowest LCOS and carbon emissions, at 0.227 US$ kWh-1 and 61.63 gCO2e kWh-1, are achieved using HES routes that involve hydrogen production by alkaline electrolyzer (AE), delivery by hydrogen pipeline and corresponding refueling.

This recognition came about as a result of extensive research conducted in the past. The CCS cycle comes to a close with the last phase of CO2 storage, which is accomplished primarily by the adsorption of CO2 in the ocean and injection of CO2 subsurface reservoir formation, in addition to the formation of limestone via the process of CO2 reactivity with reservoir formation minerals through injectivities. CCS is the last stage in the carbon capture and storage (CCS) cycle and is accomplished chiefly via oceanic and subterranean geological sequestration, as well as mineral carbonation. The injection of supercritical CO2 into geological formations disrupts the sub-surface’s existing physical and chemical conditions; changes can occur in the pore fluid pressure, temperature state, chemical reactivity, and stress distribution of the reservoir rock. This paper aims at advancing our current knowledge in CO2 injection and storage systems, particularly CO2 storage methods and the challenges encountered during the implementation of each method and analyses on how key uncertainties in CCS can be reduced. CCS sites are essentially unified systems; yet, given the scientific context, these storage systems are typically split during scientific investigations based on the physics and spatial scales involved. Separating the physics by using the chosen system as a boundary condition is a strategy that works effectively for a wide variety of physical applications. Unfortunately, the separation technique does not accurately capture the behaviour of the larger important system in the case of water and gas flow in porous media. This is due to the complexity of geological subsurface systems, which prevents the approach from being able to effectively capture the behaviour of the larger relevant system. This consequently gives rise to different CCS technology with different applications, costs and social and environmental impacts. The findings of this study can help improve the ability to select a suitable CCS application method and can further improve the efficiency of greenhouse gas emissions and their environmental impact, promoting the process sustainability and helping to tackle some of the most important issues that human being is currently accounting global climate change. Though this technology has already had large-scale development for the last decade, some issues and uncertainties are identified. Special attention was focused on the basic findings achieved in CO2 storage operational projects to date. The study has demonstrated that though a number of CCS technologies have been researched and implemented to date, choosing a suitable and acceptable CCS technology is still daunting in terms of its technological application, cost effectiveness and socio-environmental acceptance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en16247971","authors":["Gregory Tarteh Mwenketishi","Hadj Benkreira","Nejat Rahmanian"],"tags":["Carbonation","Context (archaeology)","Supercritical fluid","Carbon sequestration","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en16247971","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W2523021023","name":"Is the Imidazolium Cation a Unique Promoter for Electrocatalytic Reduction of Carbon Dioxide?","source":"openalex","abstract":"There has been considerable recent interest in the use of the imidazolium cation as a promoter in the heterogeneous and homogeneous electrocatalysis of CO 2 reduction. However, despite its widespread use for this purpose, the mechanism by which imidazolium operates is not yet fully established. The present work reveals that enhanced catalytic activity is achieved by addition of many cations other than imidazolium. Under cyclic voltammetric conditions at a Ag electrode in acetonitrile solutions (0.1 M n -Bu 4 NPF 6 ), 2.0 mM concentrations of imidazolium, pyrrolidium, ammonium, phosphonium, and (trimethylamine)-(dimethylethylamine)-dihydroborate cations can all enhance the kinetics of catalytic CO 2 reduction with imidazolium and pyrrolidium being the most active. Analysis of the voltammetric data suggests that imidazolium cations achieve their impact by directly acting as cocatalysts with Ag whereas the other cations affect the reaction rate by modifying the electrochemical double layer. The results also confirm that the active form of the cocatalyst is the reduced imidazolium radical which forms a complex with CO 2 before being further reduced to CO or other products at Ag and not an imidazolium carboxylate formed between an imidazolium carbene and CO 2 . In fact, imidazolium is deactivated during CO 2 reduction by the latter reaction. Addition of water inhibits this deactivation pathway allowing the imidazolium cation to remain active in a long-term for CO 2 reduction. In contrast, the pyrrolidium cation, where enhanced catalysis is attributed to an electrochemical double layer effect, retains its catalytic activity for very long periods of time regardless of the presence or absence of water.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.6b08182","authors":["Shufeng Zhao","Mike Horne","Alan M.

The main purpose of this critical review is bridging the previous achievements and further developments of ML-assisted design of CO2 capture techniques.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2022.1043064","authors":["Zequn Yang","Boshi Chen","Hongmei Chen","Hailong Li"],"tags":["Process engineering","Computer science","Carbon dioxide","Nanotechnology","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-01-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2022.1043064","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W1517195678","name":"Sensors and the city: a review of urban meteorological networks","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT The heterogeneous nature of urban environments means that atmospheric research ideally requires a dense network of sensors to adequately resolve the local climate.

This review discusses the present state of CCS research and development, the advantages of the various approaches, and the barriers to commercialization that exist today. It also provides an evaluation of certain practical small- and large-scale CCS applications. The high initial investment, as well as ongoing maintenance costs, plague today’s commercially accessible CO2 capture technologies, including absorption, adsorption, membranes, and cryogenic separation. Gas hydrate-based capture has the potential to become the dominant method for CO2 separation because of the high recovery rates and purity it provides. Hydrate-based technologies, including CO2 capture, CO2 separation, and transportation, can also be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and have excellent application potential. Despite this, the potential of technology based on gas hydrates to help reduce the effects of climate change in the future has received little attention. This study discusses cosmopolitan energy provision and environmental challenges and conversions, and the role of gas hydrates in the carbon cycle. This paper summarizes the state-of-the-art developments in hydrate-based reactors, thereby providing a perspective on the roles of NGHs in the future energy supply and climate change mitigation. In all these areas, we focus on identifying future CCS challenges and the technological development risk in gas hydrate-based systems, which should be highlighted in the next several decades.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15218309","authors":["Adeel Ur Rehman","Bhajan Lal"],"tags":["Clathrate hydrate","Greenhouse gas","Commercialization","Natural gas","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-11-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15218309","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W4286256649","name":"Manila clam and Mediterranean mussel aquaculture is sustainable and a net carbon sink","source":"openalex","abstract":"Aquaculture is a globally expanding industry that contributes to feeding an increasing global population. Shellfish cultivation is one of the largest sectors of aquaculture and one of the few food productions that have the potential capacity of acting as carbon sink. In fact, >90 % of bivalve shells are calcium carbonate (CaCO3), synthetized during biocalcification process, which incorporates a molecule of CO2. Manila clam (Venerupis philippinarum, Adams & Reeves, 1850) and Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis, Lamarck, 1819) are two of the major groups of cultivated shellfish. Our aim was to assess the potential role of those two bivalve species in the overall marine carbon balance using an ecosystem approach, and to evaluate if they can be definitely regarded as carbon sink. The contribution to CO2 emissions (as CO2 eq./kg of fresh products) due to mollusk farming has been also calculated as carbon-source term by means of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). LCA is nowadays the most shared and accepted tool for evaluating the environmental impacts of aquaculture productions. As a case study, the Sacca di Goro coastal lagoon (Northern Adriatic Sea, Italy) has been considered, because it is the premier site in Europe for clam farming, and one of the most important for mussels. Our study has shown that for each kilogram of harvested and packaged clams and mussels, shell formation throughout the mollusk growth allows to permanently capture 254 and 146 g of CO2, in the face of 22 and 55 g CO2 eq. emitted for farming, respectively. As a result, clams and mussel aquaculture could be considered as a carbon sink, with a net carbon capture capacity of 233 and 91 g CO2/kg of fresh product, respectively. In a wider context, bivalve aquaculture could be included in the carbon trading system and played a role towards the carbon-neutral economy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157508","authors":["Elena Tamburini","Edoardo Turolla","Mattia Lanzoni","David Moore","Giuseppe Castaldelli"],"tags":["Mussel","Mytilus","Aquaculture","Fishery","Shellfish"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-07-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157508","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W3059994287","name":"Industrial Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries—A Critical Review of Metallurgical Process Routes","source":"openalex","abstract":"Research for the recycling of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) started about 15 years ago. In recent years, several processes have been realized in small-scale industrial plants in Europe, which can be classified into two major process routes. The first one combines pyrometallurgy with subsequent hydrometallurgy, while the second one combines mechanical processing, often after thermal pre-treatment, with metallurgical processing. Both process routes have a series of advantages and disadvantages with respect to legislative and health, safety and environmental requirements, possible recovery rates of the components, process robustness, and economic factors. This review critically discusses the current status of development, focusing on the metallurgical processing of LIB modules and cells. Although the main metallurgical process routes are defined, some issues remain unsolved. Most process routes achieve high yields for the valuable metals cobalt, copper, and nickel. In comparison, lithium is only recovered in few processes and with a lower yield, albeit a high economic value. The recovery of the low value components graphite, manganese, and electrolyte solvents is technically feasible but economically challenging. The handling of organic and halogenic components causes technical difficulties and high costs in all process routes. Therefore, further improvements need to be achieved to close the LIB loop before high amounts of LIB scrap return.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/met10081107","authors":["Lisa Brückner","Julia Frank","Tobias Elwert"],"tags":["Pyrometallurgy","Scrap","Process engineering","Hydrometallurgy","Metallurgy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-08-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/met10081107","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W3105886645","name":"Applications of biomass-derived materials for energy production, conversion, and storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"With a drastic increase in population growth, energy consumption has increased unprecedentedly.

The abundance of biomass and its immense potential as a renewable source of energy makes it a suitable alternative to be used for energy production, conversion, and storage.

Initially, the hybrid nanoparticles were prepared by blending equal mass of SiO2 and CeO2 nanoparticles. The hybrid-nano/paraffin (HnP) samples were prepared by cautiously dispersing 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 percentage mass of hybrid nanoparticles inside the paraffin, respectively. The synthesized samples were examined under different instruments such as field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), and thermal properties analyzer to ascertain the influence of hybrid nanoparticles on thermo-physical characteristics of the prepared samples. The obtained experimental results proved that the hybrid nanoparticles were uniformly diffused in the paraffin matrix without affecting the chemical arrangement of paraffin molecules. Prominently, the relative thermal stability and relative thermal conductivity of the paraffin were synergistically enriched up to 115.49% and 165.56%, respectively, when dispersing hybrid nanoparticles within paraffin. Furthermore, the hybrid nanoparticles appropriately amended the melting and crystallization point of the paraffin to reduce its supercooling, and the maximum reduction in supercooling was ascertained as 35.81%. The comprehensive studies indicated that the paraffin diffused with SiO2 and CeO2 hybrid nanoparticles at 1.0 mass percentage would yield a better outcome compared to the next higher mass fractions without much diminishing the latent heat of paraffin. Hence, it is recommended to utilize the hybrid-nano/paraffin with 1.0 mass fraction of the aforementioned hybrid nanoparticles for effectively augmenting the thermal energy capacity of low-temperature solar thermal systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en13195079","authors":["P.

Woody organs are the largest NSC-storing compartments in forest ecosystems; therefore, it is essential to understand the factors that affect the size of this important storage pool. In wood, NSC are predominantly deposited in ray and axial parenchyma (RAP); however, direct links between nutrient storage and RAP anatomy have not yet been established. Here, we tested whether the NSC storage capacity of wood is influenced by the amount of RAP. METHODS: We measured NSC concentrations and RAP fractions in root and stem sapwood of 12 temperate species sampled at the onset of winter dormancy and in stem sapwood of four tropical trees growing in an evergreen lowland rainforest. The patterns of starch distribution were visualized by staining with Lugol's solution. KEY RESULTS: The concentration of NSCs in sapwood of temperate trees scales tightly with the amount of RAP and living fibers (LFs), with almost all RAP and LFs being densely packed with starch grains. In contrast, the tropical species had lower NSC concentrations despite their higher RAP and LFs fraction and had considerable interspecific differences in starch distribution. CONCLUSIONS: The differences in RAP and LFs abundance affect the ability of sapwood to store NSC in temperate trees, whereas a more diverse set of functions of RAP might be pronounced in species growing in a tropical environment with little seasonality.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3732/ajb.1500489","authors":["Lenka Plavcová","Günter Hoch","Hugh Morris","Sara Ghiasi","Steven Jansen"],"tags":["Biology","Parenchyma","Temperate climate","Botany","Xylem"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-03-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3732/ajb.1500489","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W3041362921","name":"Security, Privacy and Risks Within Smart Cities: Literature Review and Development of a Smart City Interaction Framework","source":"openalex","abstract":"The complex and interdependent nature of smart cities raises significant political, technical, and socioeconomic challenges for designers, integrators and organisations involved in administrating these new entities.

Usually, additive manufacturing (AM) processes based on these techniques produce the components with a significant amount of pores. The porosity in these parts typically takes two forms: pores with irregular shapes (called keyholes) and uniform (spherical) pores. These pores are present at different locations, such as surface, sub-surface, interior bulk material, between the deposited layers and at filler/matrix interface, which critically affect the corrosion resistance, fatigue strength, stiffness, mechanical strength, and fracture toughness properties, respectively. Therefore, it is essential to study and understand the influence of pores on the mechanical properties of AM fabricated parts. The technologies of AM can be employed in the manufacturing of components with the desired porous structure through the topology optimization process of scaffolds and lattices to improve their toughness under a specific load. The undesirable effect of pores can be eliminated by using defects-free raw materials, optimizing the processing parameters, and implementing suitable post-processing treatment. The current review grants a more comprehensive understanding of the effect of porous defects on mechanical performance and provides a mechanistic basis for reliable applications of additively manufactured components.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2053-1591/abcc5d","authors":["Ahmad Y.

Our findings showed that global demand for these major metals is likely to increase continuously over the 21st century, increasing approximately 2–6-fold depending on the metal.

These issues could limit their potential in building applications, which require systems of a long lifespan. Low thermal conductivities can slow down the rate at which heat is distributed or absorbed from the building, which affect the occupants comfort and as well as the efficiency of the system. Ideas based on the current research on ways to limit these disadvantages are included in the study. This study also identifies that further research is required on novel maintenance ways for the PCM systems after they have been installed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings7030078","authors":["Ashley Bland","Martin Khzouz","Thomas Statheros","Evangelos I.

Withdrawal from water storage in leaves, branches, stems, and roots significantly impacts sap flow, stomatal conductance, and transpiration. Storage quantities differ based on soil water availability, tree size, wood anatomy and density, drought tolerance, and hydraulic strategy (anisohydric or isohydric). However, the majority of studies focus on the measurement of storage in conifers or tropical tree species. We demonstrate a novel methodology using frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) to make continuous, direct measurements of wood water content in two hardwood species in a forest in Michigan. We present results of a two month study comparing the water storage dynamics between a mature red oak and red maple, two species with differing wood densities, hydraulic architecture, and hydraulic strategy. We also include results pertaining to the use of different probe lengths to sample water content only within the active sapwood and over the entire conductive sapwood and the outer portion of heartwood in red oak. Both species studied exhibited diurnal cycles of storage that aligned well with the dynamics of sap flux. Red maple, a diffuse porous, relatively isohydric species showed a strong dependence on stored water during both wet and dry periods. Red oak, a ring porous relatively anisohydric species, was less reliant on storage, and did not demonstrate a dependence on soil water potential. Comparison between long and short FDR probes in the oak revealed that oaks may utilize water stored in the innermost layers of the xylem when soil moisture conditions are limiting. We found the FDR probes to be a reliable, functional means for continuous automated measurement of wood water content in hardwoods at a fast time scale. Application of FDR technology for the measurement of tree water storage will benefit forest ecologists as well as the modeling community as we improve our understanding and simulations of plant hydrodynamic processes on a large scale.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1890/es15-00170.1","authors":["Ashley M.

Utility companies eventually recognised the importance of the flexibility that energy storage provides in networks and the first central station energy storage, a Pumped Hydroelectric Storage (PHS), was in use in 1929[2][10-15]. Up to 2011, a total of more than 128 GW of EES has been installed all over the world [9-12]. EES systems is currently enjoying somewhat of a renaissance, for a variety of reasons including changes in the worldwide utility regulatory environment, an ever-increasing reliance on electricity in industry, commerce and the home, power quality/quality-of-supply issues, the growth of renewable energy as a major new source of electricity supply, and all combined with ever more stringent environmental requirements[34][6]. These factors, combined with the rapidly accelerating rate of technological development in many of the emerging electrical energy storage systems, with anticipated unit cost reductions, now make their practical applications look very attractive on future timescales of only years.

This article investigates the potential of reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere via the DACCS pathway, i.e., to capture CO2 from the ambient air and permanently store it in geological formations. Since the capture of CO2 from ambient air is energy-intensive, this study particularly models the integration of DACCS plants into a greenhouse gas-neutral European energy system. The model results show that DACCS in Europe 2050 could cost between 160 €/tCO2 and 270 €/tCO2 with very conservative techno-economic assumptions and between 60 €/tCO2 and 140 €/tCO2 using more progressive parameters. Annually capturing 5% of Europe's 1990 emissions with a fully electric DACCS system would increase the capacities of onshore wind by 80–119 GWel and PV by 85–126 GWel. In the model results, Sweden, the Iberian Peninsula, Norway, and Finland incorporate the essential characteristics for a successful deployment of capturing and storing CO2 from ambient air: Sufficiently large geological CO2 storage capacities and relatively low-cost, vacant renewable power generation potentials. The low DACCS costs could minimize the cost of combating climate change and prevent the implementation of more expensive mitigation strategies. On the other hand, a DACCS-based climate protection strategy is fraught with the risks of CO2 storage leaks, acceptance problems for the additional required expansion of renewable energies, and premature depletion of global CO2 storage potentials.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.esr.2022.101012","authors":["Benjamin Lux","Niklas Schneck","Benjamin Pfluger","W.

Two main facts deter from storage projects in fractured reservoirs: (1) CO2 tends to be nonwetting in target formations and capillary forces will keep CO2 in the fractures, which typically have low pore volume; and (2) the high conductivity of the fractures may lead to increased spatial spreading of the CO2 plume. Numerical simulations are a powerful tool to understand the physics behind brine‐CO2 flow in NFR's. Dual‐porosity models are typically used to simulate multiphase flow in fractured formations. However, existing dual‐porosity models are based on crude approximations of the matrix‐fracture fluid transfer processes and often fail to capture the dynamics of fluid exchange accurately. Therefore, more accurate transfer functions are needed in order to evaluate the CO2 transfer to the matrix. This work presents an assessment of CO2 storage potential in NFR's using dual‐porosity models. We investigate the impact of a system of fractures on storage in a saline aquifer, by analyzing the time scales of brine drainage by CO2 in the matrix blocks and the maximum CO2 that can be stored in the rock matrix. A new model to estimate drainage time scales is developed and used in a transfer function for dual‐porosity simulations. We then analyze how injection rates should be limited in order to avoid early spill of CO2 (lost control of the plume) on a conceptual anticline model. Numerical simulations on the anticline show that naturally fractured reservoirs may be used to store CO2.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2017wr022159","authors":["Rafael March","Florian Doster","S.

We ask the question whether this unique feature of carbon dioxide removal technologies fundamentally alters the dynamics of climate mitigation pathways.

BECCS is arguably the least cost CDR option if biomass availability is not a strongly limiting factor. We compare mitigation pathways with and without BECCS to explore the impact of CDR technologies on the mitigation portfolio. Effects are most pronounced for stringent climate policies where BECCS is a key technology for the effectiveness of carbon pricing policies. The decoupling of emissions and emissions control allows prolonging the use of fossil fuels in sectors that are difficult to decarbonize, particularly in the transport sector. It also balances the distribution of mitigation costs across future generations. CDR is not a silver bullet technology. The largest part of emissions reductions continues to be provided by direct mitigation measures at the emissions source. The value of CDR lies in its flexibility to alleviate the most costly constraints on mitigating emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-012-0681-4","authors":["Elmar Kriegler","Ottmar Edenhofer","Lena Reuster","Gunnar Luderer","David Klein"],"tags":["Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage","Environmental science","Climate change mitigation","Greenhouse gas","Natural resource economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2013-02-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-012-0681-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W4321783693","name":"Materials, fuels, upgrading, economy, and life cycle assessment of the pyrolysis of algal and lignocellulosic biomass: a review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Climate change issues are calling for advanced methods to produce materials and fuels in a carbon–neutral and circular way. For instance, biomass pyrolysis has been intensely investigated during the last years. Here we review the pyrolysis of algal and lignocellulosic biomass with focus on pyrolysis products and mechanisms, oil upgrading, combining pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion, economy, and life cycle assessment. Products include oil, gas, and biochar. Upgrading techniques comprise hot vapor filtration, solvent addition, emulsification, esterification and transesterification, hydrotreatment, steam reforming, and the use of supercritical fluids. We examined the economic viability in terms of profitability, internal rate of return, return on investment, carbon removal service, product pricing, and net present value. We also reviewed 20 recent studies of life cycle assessment. We found that the pyrolysis method highly influenced product yield, ranging from 9.07 to 40.59% for oil, from 10.1 to 41.25% for biochar, and from 11.93 to 28.16% for syngas. Feedstock type, pyrolytic temperature, heating rate, and reaction retention time were the main factors controlling the distribution of pyrolysis products. Pyrolysis mechanisms include bond breaking, cracking, polymerization and re-polymerization, and fragmentation. Biochar from residual forestry could sequester 2.74 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per ton biochar when applied to the soil and has thus the potential to remove 0.2–2.75 gigatons of atmospheric carbon dioxide annually. The generation of biochar and bio-oil from the pyrolysis process is estimated to be economically feasible.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10311-023-01573-7","authors":["Ahmed I.

They operate independently as small-scale energy networks using distributed energy resources. However, the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources and poor power quality are essential operational problems that must be mitigated to improve the MG’s performance. To address these challenges, researchers have introduced heuristic optimization mechanisms for MGs. However, local minima and the inability to find a global minimum in heuristic methods create errors in non-linear and nonconvex optimization, posing challenges in dealing with several operational aspects of MG such as energy management optimization, cost-effective dispatch, dependability, storage sizing, cyber-attack minimization, and grid integration. These challenges affect MG’s performance by adding complexity to the management of storage capacity, cost minimization, reliability assurance, and balance of renewable sources, which accelerates the need for meta-heuristic optimization algorithms (MHOAs). This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of MHOAs and their role in improving the operational performance of MGs. Firstly, the fundamentals of MG optimization are discussed to explore the scopes, requisites, and opportunities of MHOAs in MG networks. Secondly, several MHOAs in the MG domain are described, and their recent trends in MG’s techno-economic analysis, load forecasting, resiliency improvement, control operation, fault diagnosis, and energy management are summarized. The summary reveals that nearly 25% of the research in these areas utilizes the particle swarm optimization method, while the genetic and grey wolf algorithms are utilized by nearly 10% and 5% of the works studied in this paper, respectively, for optimizing the MG’s performance. This result summarizes that MHOA presents a system-agnostic optimization approach, offering a new avenue for enhancing the effectiveness of future MGs. Finally, we highlight some challenges that emerge during the integration of MHOAs into MGs, potentially motivating researchers to conduct further studies in this area.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.esr.2024.101298","authors":["Afifa Akter","Ehsanul Islam Zafir","Nazia Hasan Dana","Rahul Joysoyal","Subrata K.

The results showed that the use of hollow fibre membranes have demonstrated popularity, as well as the use of amine solvents for CO2removal.

The novel approach uses a sodium carbonate solution to first capture CO2 from post combustion flue gas streams. The captured CO2 is then reacted with an alkaline industrial waste material, at ambient conditions, to regenerate the carbonate solution and permanently store the CO2 in the form of an added value carbonate mineral. Conventional CCS makes use of a hazardous amine solution for CO2 capture, a costly thermal regeneration stage, and the underground storage of supercritical CO2. The objective of the present dissertation was to examine each individual stage (capture and storage) of the proposed approach to CCS. Study of the capture stage found that a 2% w/w sodium carbonate solution was optimal for CO2 absorption in the present system. The 2% solution yielded the best tradeoff between the CO2 absorption rate and the CO2 absorption capacity of the solutions tested. Examination of CO2 absorption in the presence of flue gas impurities (NOx and SOx) found that carbonate solutions possess a significant advantage over amine solutions, that they could be used for multi-pollutant capture. All the NOx and SOx fed to the carbonate solution was able to be captured. Optimization studies found that it was possible to increase the absorption rate of CO2 into the carbonate solution by adding a surfactant to the solution to chemically alter the gas bubble size. The absorption rate of CO2 was increased by as much as 14%. Three coal combustion fly ash materials were chosen as the alkaline industrial waste materials to study the storage CO2 and regeneration the absorbent. X-ray diffraction analysis on reacted fly ash samples confirmed that the captured CO2 reacts with the fly ash materials to form a carbonate mineral, specifically calcite. Studies found that after a five day reaction time, 75% utilization of the waste material for CO2 storage could be achieved, while regenerating the absorbent. The regenerated absorbent exhibited a nearly identical CO2 absorption capacity and CO2 absorption rate as a fresh Na2CO3 solution.","url":"https://doi.org/10.37099/mtu.dc.etds/633","authors":["Brett P.

Clean hydrogen production is often viewed as a competition between natural gas reforming with CO2 capture and electrolysis using renewable electricity. However, solid fuel gasification with CO2 capture presents another viable alternative, especially when considering the potential of biomass to achieve negative CO2 emissions. This study investigates the techno-economic potential of hydrogen production from large-scale coal/biomass co-gasification plants with CO2 capture. With a CO2 price of 50 €/ton, the benchmark plant using commercially available technologies achieved an attractive hydrogen production cost of 1.78 €/kg, with higher CO2 prices leading to considerable cost reductions. Advanced configurations employing hot gas clean-up, membrane-assisted water-gas shift, and more efficient gasification with slurry vaporization and a chemical quench reduced the hydrogen production cost to 1.50–1.62 €/kg with up to 100% CO2 capture. Without contingencies added to the pre-commercial technologies, the lowest cost reduces to 1.43 €/kg. It was also possible to recover waste heat in the form of hot water at 120 °C for district heating, potentially unlocking further cost reductions to 1.24 €/kg. In conclusion, gasification of locally available solid fuels should be seriously considered next to natural gas and electrolysis for supplying the emerging hydrogen economy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2021.114712","authors":["Carlos Arnaiz del Pozo","Schalk Cloete","Ángel Jiménez Álvaro"],"tags":["Hydrogen production","Power to gas","Waste management","Environmental science","Biomass (ecology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-09-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2021.114712","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"oa:W4205761864","name":"Integrated Approach for Carbon Sequestration and Wastewater Treatment Using Algal–Bacterial Consortia: Opportunities and Challenges","source":"openalex","abstract":"Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the important greenhouse gases, due to combustion of fossil fuels, particularly burning coal, have become the major cause for global warming.

This research implicates that CCS system is evolving in capturing emissions from coal-fired electrical power stations to further mitigate climate change. Different manifestations are discussed for capturing and storing the with repercussions on operating costs, toxicity and energy efficiency. Chemical Looping Combustion appears to be the more energy efficient than Oxy-fuel CFBC and Ionic Liquids, and less expensive than Calcium Looping and Amine Scrubbing. Calcium Looping (Cal) and Ionic Liquids are also less toxic than Amine Scrubbing. Direct air technology is also very compelling at capturing emissions but highly expensive. Nevertheless, further research is still required for all CCS systems to be able to implement them widely in existing/new electrical power stations. Waste heat energy recovery systems can be used in conjunction with capture systems for further reduction of emissions. The ambivalence of quantum dot and organic solar cells are briefly reviewed. It implicates that composite film with enhanced quantum dot effects will make the film highly transparent and options of tunability of its color spectrum make the quantum dot solar cells highly attractive to a wide variety of applications. Organic solar cells are carbon-rich polymers and can be designed to improve a precise function of the cell, such as sensitivity to a certain type of light. OPV cells can only be considered as half-competent to crystalline silicon and have smaller beneficial lifespans, but could be less costly to produce in high volumes.

This review systematically evaluates six major carbon allotropes: graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanofibers (CNFs), fullerenes, diamonds, and porous carbon, with a focus on synthesis methods, operating conditions, and industrial feasibility. Among these, CNTs and CNFs show the highest potential, especially when produced via molten carbonate electrolysis or the Solar Thermal Electrochemical Process (STEP), which operate at approximately 750–770 °C and near-atmospheric pressure. These methods have demonstrated high carbon conversion efficiencies and significantly lower estimated production costs compared to conventional CVD techniques, due to their simpler operation and lower material costs. Graphene, although high in quality, requires approximately 1000 °C and expensive catalysts, making it less scalable. Fullerenes (C 60 ) and diamonds have very low yields (<1 %) and require extreme pressures (up to 1000 atm), limiting their industrial use. Porous carbons, synthesized electrochemically or by metal/inorganic reduction at 500–850 °C, show promise for supercapacitors and adsorption, with yields up to 55.3 wt % and built-in doping capabilities. Metal-mediated methods using Mg, Zn, and NaBH 4 offer simplicity, moderate conditions, and tunable structures, while new hybrid approaches provide synergistic benefits. Overall, molten salt electrochemical methods are highly promising candidates for scalable and energy-efficient processes, supporting CO 2 valorization in sustainable carbon material production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100547","authors":["Bentolhoda Chenarani","Ahad Ghaemi","Alireza Hemmati"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-28T07:56:06Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100547","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.eti.2018.10.013","name":"Status of carbon capture and storage in India’s coal fired power plants: A critical review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eti.2018.10.013","authors":["Ravinder Kumar","Ravindra Jilte","Keval Chandrakant Nikam","Mohammad Hossein Ahmadi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-11-02T08:27:58Z","doi":"10.1016/j.eti.2018.10.013","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/en18071678","name":"Correction: Alizadeh et al.

It is noted that the supply and the demand for energy have not been in correlation with one another, as around. When the supply of energy is scaled up, there will large amounts of emissions released from the power plants. Therefore, it is important to focus on capturing and storage of harmful greenhouse gas emissions, using renewable energy resources, so that emission mitigation can be made in an efficient and economically feasible way. The pragmatic analysis of solar-assisted post-combustion carbon capture (SPCC) has been reviewed upon, where the energy compensation of a coal-fired plant due to regeneration of absorbent has been scrutinized. It is also been compared with the integration of geothermal energy (GTCC) for carbon capture. In the adsorption process, various techno-economic analysis of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) integrating solar-assisted temperature swing adsorption has been reported along with the effect of absorbent material in pressure-temperature swing adsorption for CO2 capture. Assessment of solar-assisted CCS are also been accomplished by adopting pliable thinking on the energy system.

With social scientific research on CCS having increased considerably over the last decade, this paper offers a first comprehensive review and evaluation of studies that investigate the way CCS projects are communicated to (local) stakeholders and the general public. We conduct a systematic review of 115 papers for a state-of-the-art assessment of research on communication practices in CCS projects. Based on this review we compile an extensive list of the recommendations provided for CCS outreach activities and scrutinize it for limitations. This enables us to show that “best practices” in communication need to be applied in context sensitive approaches and to highlight factors in communication (such as social media) which have been underutilized up to now. Furthermore, we identify two conceptual shortcomings that limit the scope of CCS communication research: first, the majority of the literature refers to CCS as applied to the fossil fuel-based energy sector and thereby narrows the debate. Second, while the social scientific debate has moved on from the mere study of acceptance of CCS to practices of communication, we find that the theoretical lens applied to communication is still largely focused on convincing people to accept CCS. We argue that future research should tackle these shortcomings by paying more attention to CCS projects that go beyond coal or natural gas power plants. Additionally, it is advised to theoretically reframe communication efforts by emphasizing long-term alliance building through participation and joint goals instead of focussing on short-term persuasion and simple strategies of raising acceptance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2021.102306","authors":["Danny Otto","Matthias Gross"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-10-01T04:15:15Z","doi":"10.1016/j.erss.2021.102306","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.042Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/su10072206","name":"Striving towards the Deployment of Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): A Review of Research Priorities and Assessment Needs","source":"crossref","abstract":"Assessing the performance or the implications of climate change mitigation options (CCMOs) is instrumental in achieving research and innovation efficiency in the field of climate change and becomes more imperative considering the Paris Agreement (‘the Agreement’).

This qualitative study explores the meaning of spirituality as experienced by Jordanian Muslim men living with coronary artery disease. A hermeneutical phenomenological orientation was used to explore the experience of spirituality as lived by Arab Muslim men with coronary artery disease. A purposive sample of 19 men was selected from the Coronary care Unit (CCU) in a teaching hospital in Jordan. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's steps of phenomenological analysis. Four themes emerged from the data. The participants explained that faith facilitated their acceptance of illness and enhanced their coping strategies, that seeking medical treatment did not conflict with their belief in fate, that spirituality enhanced their inner strength, hope and acceptance of self-responsibility and it helped to them to find meaning and purpose in their life. In this study, Parse's theory of human becoming served as the foundation for understanding the paradoxical rhythmical pattern of the human experience of spirituality in illness. The findings suggest that patients' faith plays a central role in the choices they make either healthy or unhealthy, or accepting or rejecting their personal responsibility in promoting their future health and well-being. In addition, it provide nurses with the basis for providing spiritual care and developing a culturally sensitive healthcare plans in this population.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1471-6712.2011.00882.x","authors":["Manar Nabolsi","Alexander Carson"],"tags":["Spirituality","Faith","Spiritual care","Psychology","Coping (psychology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2011-03-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1471-6712.2011.00882.x","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z"},{"id":"oa:W2090954189","name":"Development of a quantitative Real-Time TaqMan PCR assay for determination of the minimal dose ofMycoplasma hyopneumoniaestrain 116 required to induce pneumonia in SPF pigs","source":"openalex","abstract":"AIMS: A triplex real-time PCR assay to quantify Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in specimens from live and dead pigs was developed and validated. The minimal dose of Myc. hyopneumoniae required to induce pneumonia in specific pathogen-free pigs was determined. METHODS AND RESULTS: This TaqMan test simultaneously detected three genes encoding the proteins P46, P97 and P102. All Myc. hyopneumoniae strains analysed were detected, including strains isolated in three countries (France, England and Switzerland) and from several pig farms (n = 33), and the test was specific. The estimated detection thresholds were 1.3 genome equivalents (microl(-1)) for the targets defined in p97 and p102 genes and 13 genome equivalents (microl(-1)) for the segment defined in the p46 gene. This test was used to quantify Myc. hyopneumoniae in specimens sampled from experimentally infected pigs. In live pigs, c. 10(7), 10(8) and 10(10) genome equivalents (ml(-1)) of Myc. hyopneumoniae were detected in the nasal cavities, tonsils and trachea samples, respectively. In dead pigs, 10(8)-10(10) genome equivalents (ml(-1)) of Myc. hyopneumoniae were detected in the lung tissue with pneumonia. The estimated minimal dose of Myc. hyopneumoniae required to induce pneumonia was 10(5) colour-changing units (CCU) per pig (corresponding to 10(8) mycoplasmas). CONCLUSION: The triplex RT-PCR test was validated and can be used for testing samples taken on the pig farms. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This test should be a very useful tool in pig herds to control enzootic pneumonia or healthy carrier pigs and to study the dynamics of Myc. hyopneumoniae infections.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2672.2009.04556.x","authors":["C.

We investigated the hypothesis that serum Cystatin C (sCysC) is a good predictor for AKI and may affect the short-term prognosis of coronary care unit (CCU) patients. METHODS: In this prospective, observational study, we screened 412 adults admitted to the CCU from January 1, 2014 to June 1, 2015 at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University. Serum samples were obtained at the time of admission, and sCysC was quantified through nephelometry. AKI was defined based on KDIGO-AKI criteria. After the patients' hospital discharge, the survivors in this study were followed up for up to 2 years. The primary endpoint was the incidence of AKI stratified by severity stage, while the second endpoints included 2-year mortality, rehospitalization and failure in renal recovery rates, as well as the progression of AKI to CKD. RESULTS: According to the KDIGO-AKI criteria, AKI occurred in 130 (31.6%) patients. After multivariate adjustments, the highest quartile of sCysC was associated with a 9-fold increased risk of incident AKI compared with the lowest quartile. For predicting AKI, sCysC [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC=0.842)] outperformed β2-micro globulin (AUC=0.813) and the clinical model (AUC=0.777), and a cutoff of 1.255 mg/L yielded good sensitivity and specificity. After a median 19.8-month follow-up, 112 (27.2%) patients died within 2 years after admission. The sCysC independently predicted the risk of 2-year mortality [adjusted odds ratio (OR), 4.955; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 2.853 to 8.603] and rehospitalization (OR, 3.128; 95% CI, 2.011 to 4.867), as well as renal recovery failure (OR, 3.618, 95% CI, 1.753 to 7.463).

It aims to capture CO2 from various sources and to store it in valuable products more or less permanently. While the environmental impact of this technology has already received much scientific attention, this work takes a social science perspective on the matter. Using an empirical mixed-methods approach consisting of an exploratory focus group study (N = 13) and a validating quantitative questionnaire study (N = 198), public perceptions and acceptance of CCU were assessed in Germany by identifying motivators, barriers, and usage requirements. As CCU products, clothing, cosmetics, and food packaging were under study. Potential cost savings from shortened supply chains or manufacturing steps were the biggest motivator for using CCU. However, environmental impacts resulting from the degradation and reuse of CO2 were also recognized and the conservation of fossil resources was also acknowledged. The biggest barrier, in contrast, was the concern about possible manipulation of consumers through marketing. Participants feared that CCU would be publicly portrayed as better than it actually is. In addition, a high energy input in the production of CCU products was expected and doubts were expressed about the longevity of the positive environmental impacts of CCU. General acceptance within the sample was quite high, however, the level of CCU awareness was rather low. Our results show a considerable lack of public knowledge about and information regarding the environmental impact of CCU, among other factors, despite this very topic garnering plenty of scientific attention. A need for publicly accessible information materials uniquely tailored toward potential consumer target groups was revealed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2023.1248555","authors":["Imke Haverkämper","Wiktoria Wilkowska","Martina Ziefle"],"tags":["Context (archaeology)","Business","Work (physics)","Reuse","Environmental economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-11-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2023.1248555","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W2333701411","name":"HIV Risk Profile of Drug-Using Women Who Have Sex With Women in 19 United States Cities","source":"openalex","abstract":"The objective of this study was to analyze HIV-related risks of women injection drug users (IDU) and crack cocaine users (CCU) who have sex with women (WSW).

Only 11 women (6%) always used barrier protection while giving oral sex to women and 5 (3%) while receiving oral sex from women in the 30 days before interview. Fifty percent had sex with men as well as women in the previous 30 days. Thirty percent of women who reported sex with men had used condoms for penile-vaginal sex, and 26% for penile-anal sex. In logistic regression analysis modeling sex with men in the previous 30 days, sex work was predictive, \"lesbian\" self-identification was protective, and the interaction between these two terms was predictive, while controlling for race and age. Differences in risk perception were significant between women who reported varying sexual risks, but not significant between women who reported varying injection-related risks. There is a high prevalence of risky sex and drug behaviors among drug-using WSWs. There is a need for epidemiological studies specifically geared toward studying risk behaviors among WSWs.

We compared a universal heparin (UH) strategy (all patients given heparin) to a selective heparin (SH) strategy (heparin only for a clinical indication). RESULTS: There were 102 patients in the UH group and 150 patients in the SH group. Among the SH group, 70 patients (47%) received no heparin. Major IABP-related complications were uncommon in both groups (2.9% versus 4.6%, P=0.7). Major limb ischemia occurred in one patient in the UH group (overall incidence: 0.4%). Major non-access-site bleeding was more common in the UH group (10.8% versus 3.3%, P=0.02).

Two CCUs with established critical care pharmacist services were used as controls. The impact of pharmacist interventions on optimising drug therapy or preventing harm from medication errors was rated on a 4-point scale. KEY FINDINGS: There was an increase in the mean daily rate of pharmacist interventions after the introduction of the specialist critical care pharmacist (5.45 versus 2.69 per day, P < 0.0005). The critical care pharmacist intervened on more medication errors preventing potential harm and optimised more medications. There was no significant change to intervention rates at the control sites.

Induction results from ribosome stalling after translation of tnaC, the coding region for a 24-residue leader peptide. The last sense codon of tnaC, proline codon 24 (CCU), is translated by tRNA(2)(Pro). We analyzed the consequences of overexpression of tnaC from a multicopy plasmid and observed that under inducing conditions more than 60% of the tRNA(2)(Pro) in the cell was sequestered in ribosomes as TnaC-tRNA(2)(Pro). The half-life of this TnaC-tRNA(2)(Pro) was shown to be 10 to 15 min under these conditions. Plasmid-mediated overexpression of tnaC, under inducing conditions, reduced cell growth rate appreciably. Increasing the tRNA(2)(Pro) level relieved this growth inhibition, suggesting that depletion of this tRNA was primarily responsible for the growth rate reduction. Growth inhibition was not relieved by overexpression of tRNA(1)(Pro), a tRNA(Pro) that translates CCG, but not CCU. Replacing the Pro24CCU codon of tnaC by Pro24CCG, a Pro codon translated by tRNA(1)(Pro), also led to growth rate reduction, and this reduction was relieved by overexpression of tRNA(1)(Pro). These findings establish that the growth inhibition caused by tnaC overexpression during induction by tryptophan is primarily a consequence of tRNA(Pro) depletion, resulting from TnaC-tRNA(Pro) retention within stalled, translating ribosomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1128/jb.188.5.1892-1898.2006","authors":["Ming Gong","Feng Gong","Charles Yanofsky"],"tags":["Biology","Tryptophanase","Transfer RNA","Catabolite repression","Operon"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2006-02-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1128/jb.188.5.1892-1898.2006","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z"},{"id":"oa:W4312223561","name":"Mechanism and Influencing Factors of Low-Carbon Coal Power Transition under China’s Carbon Trading Scheme: An Evolutionary Game Analysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"To avoid the energy supply risk caused by the large-scale integration of renewable power with the grid, coal power plants with carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) have the potential to play an important role in the transition to a low-carbon electricity system.

The slack quota policy at the current stage can contribute to the emergence of the forerunners adopting the CCUS. The technical level of the CCUS had the most significant influence on the equilibrium of the game system.

To explore a set of CCUS-EOR reservoir screening criteria suitable for continental reservoirs in China, this study investigated and compared the CCUS-EOR reservoir screening criteria outside and in China, sorted out the main reservoir parameters that affect CO2 flooding, and optimized the indices and scope of CCUS-EOR reservoir screening criteria in China. The weights of parameters with respect to their influences on CCUS-EOR were determined through principal component analysis. The results show that there are 14 key parameters affecting CO2 flooding, which can be categorized into four levels. For the first level, the crude oil-CO2 miscibility index holds the greatest weight of 0.479. It encompasses seven parameters: initial formation pressure, current formation pressure, temperature, depth, C2–C15 molar content, residual oil saturation, and minimum miscibility pressure. The second level consists of the crude oil mobility index, which has a weight of 0.249. This index includes four parameters: porosity, permeability, density, and viscosity. The third level pertains to the index of reservoir tectonic characteristics, with a weight of 0.141. It comprises two parameters: permeability variation coefficient and average effective thickness. Lastly, the fourth level focuses on the index of reservoir property change, with a weight of 0.131, which solely considers the pressure maintenance level. Based on the CCUS-EOR reservoir screening criteria and index weights established in this study, comprehensive scores for CCUS-EOR were calculated for six blocks in China. Among these, five blocks are deemed suitable for CCUS-EOR. Based on the comprehensive scoring results, a planning for field application of CCUS-EOR is proposed.

Potential risk factors associated with DDIs have been identified. RESULTS: A total of 3193 medication episodes were evaluated, and 680 DDIs (21.3%) were found. A total of 203 patients were recruited into the study, with an average of 3.4 DDIs per patient [95% confidence interval (3.2 - 3.6)]. A total of 84.2% of the patients experienced at least one DDI. Anticoagulant and antiplatelet agents were involved in 33.5% (228/680) of the potential drug - drug interactions in the CCU. Univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the age of the patient and the number of medications prescribed were significantly correlated with the occurrence of DDIs. In multiple linear regression analysis, the number of DDIs had a significant correlation only with the number of prescription drugs. CONCLUSIONS: A high prevalence of DDIs was observed, especially in intensive care units without pharmacist intervention and computerized drug monitoring systems, highlighting the need for active surveillance to prevent potential adverse events.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40360-022-00582-6","authors":["Haitao Wang","Haitao Shi","Na Wang","Yan Wang","Li Zhang","Yujie Zhao","Jiao Xie"],"tags":["Drug","Intensive care unit","Medicine","Tertiary care","Teaching hospital"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-06-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40360-022-00582-6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z"},{"id":"oa:W2011874401","name":"Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism in the Coronary Care Unit","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amjcard.2008.11.040","authors":["Paul D.

Methods and results Herein, we report a new thermostable and alkaline-tolerant α-CA (designated as LdCA), with only 26 % identity to bovine CA (BCA), which was identified by genome mining from Lactobacillus delbrueckii CGMCC 8137. It was overexpressed in Escherichia coli in a soluble form and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by His-Trap affinity chromatography. The dimer protein had a subunit molecular weight of 23.8 kDa and showed extremely high stability at pH 6.0–11.0 and 30–60 °C. Its activity was maintained even after incubation at 90 °C for 15 min. The half-lives of the enzyme measured at 30, 40, and 50 °C were 630, 370, and 177 h, respectively. At pH 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0, its half-lives were 105, 65, and 41 min, respectively.

Conclusions In summary, a new CA with high thermal and alkaline stability was identified from a general bacterium, demonstrating an effective strategy for discovering new and useful biocatalysts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40643-015-0074-4","authors":["Chun‐Xiu Li","Xiao-Chen Jiang","Yong-Juan Qiu","Jian‐He Xu"],"tags":["Carbonic anhydrase","Biomineralization","Biocatalysis","Chemistry","Vaterite"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-11-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40643-015-0074-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z"},{"id":"oa:W1995799061","name":"Morbidity and mortality following early administration of amiodarone in acute myocardial infarction","source":"openalex","abstract":"AIMS: The objective of this study was to ascertain the effect of intravenous and oral amiodarone on morbidity and mortality in patients during the first hours after the onset of an acute myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS: A cohort of 1073 patients admitted to the CCU within 24 h of the onset of symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction and heart failure (Killip and Kimball A-B) were randomized to receive amiodarone (n=542) or placebo (n=531) for 6 months. Because of the higher mortality, on an interim analysis, from a 'high dose' of amiodarone or placebo (516 patients) the protocol was changed to a 'low dose' or placebo (557 patients). Mortality with high doses of amiodarone was 16.30% vs 10.16% in the placebo group (P=0.04), whereas mortality with low doses was 6.61% vs 9.47% in the control group (P=0.20).

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has proven its superiority for the 5th generation networks. This paper proposes a mathematical model for an improved HetNet with macro base station (MBS) and femto base station (FBS) tier. The FBS tier is equipped to support NOMA and carrier sensing for its transmissions. Carrier sensing prevents base stations within a certain range of the transmitter from transmitting, and hence, aids in reducing the interference. Offloading is performed for load balancing in HetNet, where the macro users (MU) from congested MBS tier are offloaded to the FBS tier. The FBS tier pairs the offloaded MU (OMU) with an appropriate pairing user (PU) to perform NOMA. The performance of the OMU is studied under different channel conditions with respect to the available PU at the FBS and some useful observations are drawn. A decrease in outage probability by 74.04% for cell center user (CCU) and 48.65% for cell edge user (CEU) is observed for low-density FBS. The outage probability decreases by 99.60%, for both the CCU and CEU, for high-density FBS using the proposed carrier sensing in NOMA. The results are validated using simulations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/jsyst.2018.2874310","authors":["Pragya Swami","Vimal Bhatia","Satyanarayana Vuppala","Tharmalingam Ratnarajah"],"tags":["Heterogeneous network","Base station","Computer science","Noma","Computer network"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-10-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1109/jsyst.2018.2874310","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z"},{"id":"oa:W2104192491","name":"Clinicopathological Characteristics of 10 Patients with Rupture of Both Ventricular Free Wall and Septum (Double Rupture) After Acute Myocardial Infarction.","source":"openalex","abstract":"Cardiac ruptures after myocardial infarction are classified as ventricular free wall ruptures (FWR), ventricular septal ruptures (VSR), and papillary muscle ruptures (PMR). A combination of any two types of rupture is called \"ventricular double rupture;\" (VDR) and shows a specific clinical course. 3,284 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were admitted to the CCU of our hospital between April, 1973 and December, 2001, and 10 patients (8 males and 2 female, aged 54 through 82 years) with VDR were clinicopathologically evaluated. All were diagnosed as VDR consisting of FWR and VSR. VDR was observed in 0.30% of all patients with AMI, in 3.0% of those with FWR, and in 16.1% of those with VSR. The infarct site was anteroseptal in 3 patients, anterolateral in 3, inferior in 3, and posterolateral in 1. Two patients with inferior infarction complicated RV infarction and a patient with posterolateral infarction had healed inferior infarction. The risk factors related to VDR were age, a history of hypertension, increased sympathetic tone to improve hemodynamic aggravation after perforation, cardiotonic agents, thrombolytic agents, delayed reperfusion, right ventricular volume overload by shunt and re-infarction. However, these factors might have played only a subsidiary role. The most important factor in VDR was the pathological findings. The site of septal perforation was the apex close to the septum-free wall junction in 9 patients and the site of rupture was also apical in 8 patients. Four patients already had VSR on admission to our CCU. FWR developed soon after VSR was demonstrated in 4 patients. FWR and VSR occurred simultaneously in one patient. These results suggest that VSR in the apical region is a precursor of VDR and requires the earliest surgical treatment. Surgical treatment was carried out in the operating room in 5 patients and 3 (60.0%) of them survived for 4 months or more. Two patients with rupture incidentally detected during operation for VSR were discharged and are still alive, though another one with free wall blow out rupture died 129 days after operation. Bedside thracotomy was performed in 3 patients and all of them died.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1272/jnms.70.21","authors":["Keiji Tanaka","Naoki Sato","Masahiro Yasutake","Shinhiro Takeda","Teruo Takano","Masami Ochi","Shigeo Tanaka","Koichi Tamura"],"tags":["Medicine","Myocardial infarction","Cardiology","Internal medicine","Infarction"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2003-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1272/jnms.70.21","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z"},{"id":"oa:W3197618406","name":"Techno-economic and environmental feasibility of mineral carbonation technology for carbon neutrality: A Perspective","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11814-021-0840-2","authors":["Ji Hyun Lee","Jay H.

NETL envisions having a technology portfolio of safe, cost-effective, greenhouse gas capture, transport, and storage technologies that will be available for commercial deployment. The Carbon Storage Program involves three key technology development elements: (1) Core Research and Development (R&D), (2) Infrastructure, and (3) Global Collaborations. The integration of these elements is addressing technological and marketplace challenges. The Infrastructure element of DOE's Carbon Storage Program is focused on R&D initiatives to advance geologic CO 2 storage commercialization. The Infrastructure element highlights DOE's awareness of the importance of addressing CO 2 mitigation on a regional level to most effectively manage differences in geology, climate, population density, infrastructure, and socioeconomic development. This element includes a series of geologic CO 2 storage field tests through the Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (RCSP) Initiative, as well as small-scale geologic CO 2 storage field testing efforts used to augment and build on the RCSP field test accomplishments. The Infrastructure element also includes crosscutting projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) that complement the existing Carbon Storage Program's efforts to develop carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) infrastructure in the United States. These ARRA-supported efforts include the establishment of seven CCUS training centers and nine geologic site characterization projects throughout the United States. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage and other clean coal technologies can play a critical role in mitigating CO 2 emissions while supporting U.S. energy security. DOE's Carbon Storage Program has positioned the United States on a path toward ensuring that these enabling technologies will be available to effect broad CCUS deployment. NETL is helping to promote widespread CCUS deployment through the Carbon Storage Program's Infrastructure element, which to date has: (1) safely and efficiently injected and stored close to more than three million metric tons of CO 2 across nearly 22 active or completed field projects; (2) generated lessons learned from those field projects and documented them in best-practices manuals; (3) refined national CO 2 storage assessments through characterization field projects; and (4) trained nearly 3,000 students through the Regional Carbon Sequestration Training Centers. Even though NETL's Carbon Storage R&D Program is being implemented through several different initiatives, it should be viewed as an integrated whole, with many of the goals and objectives transitioning from one initiative to the next.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2013.06.584","authors":["John Litynski","Traci Rodosta","Derek Vikara","R.

Despite technical advances in the past decade, there are still misconceptions about DAC's current and long-term costs as well as energy, water and area demands. This could undermine DAC's anticipated role in a neutral or negative greenhouse gas emission energy system, and influence policy makers. In this study, a literature review and techno-economic analyses of state-of-the-art DAC technologies are performed, wherein, DAC technologies are categorised as high temperature aqueous solutions (HT DAC) and low temperature solid sorbent (LT DAC) systems, from an energy system perspective. DAC capital expenditures, energy demands and costs have been estimated under two scenarios for DAC capacities and financial learning rates in the period 2020 to 2050. DAC system costs could be lowered significantly with commercialisation in the 2020s followed by massive implementation in the 2040s and 2050s, making them cost competitive with point source carbon capture and an affordable climate change mitigation solution. It is concluded that LT DAC systems are favourable due to lower heat supply costs and the possibility of using waste heat from other systems. CO 2 capture costs of LT DAC systems powered by hybrid PV-Wind-battery systems for Moroccan conditions and based on a conservative scenario, without/with utilisation of free waste heat are calculated at 222/133, 105/60, 69/40 and 54/32 €/t CO2 in 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050, respectively.

The monitoring of endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure in intubated patients is important in preventing complications related to cuff over- and under-inflation. Objectives. To explore and describe the existing practice related to ETT cuff pressure management by professional nurses in adult critical care units (CCUs) in the public and private healthcare sectors. Method. A quantitative survey was used. Data were collected from professional nurses from adult CCUs in the public and private healthcare sectors in the Nelson Mandela Metropole, Eastern Cape, South Africa, using a structured self-administered questionnaire based on a literature review. Results. The survey response was 75% (100/134). Practice variances included the frequency of cuff pressure monitoring: only 52% of respondents performed cuff pressure measurements every 6 - 12 hours; 32% reported performing measurements at 2 - 4 hourly intervals; 15% only assessed cuff pressure when a leak occurred; and 1% never monitored cuff pressure. Of the 100 respondents, 37% used the cuff pressure measurement (CPM) method, 24% used the palpation method or listened to air leaks, and 22% used minimal occlusive volume (MOV). None of the respondents used the minimal leak technique (MLT). Only 20% of the respondents maintained cuff pressures at 18 - 22 mmHg. Thirty-one per cent indicated that they still performed the practice of cuff deflation and re-inflation before and after suctioning. There were incongruities related to the management of air leaks and the amount of air instilled. Conclusion. Practice variances were noted among the professional nurses, especially in the private healthcare sector. The lack of evidence-based clinical decision-making related to cuff pressure management in mechanically ventilated patients was evident. Best practice recommendations need to be used effectively when performing ETT cuff pressure management, to reduce practice variance, standardise safe patient care, and minimise complications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7196/sajcc.129","authors":["Portia Jordan","Dalena van Rooyen","Danie Venter"],"tags":["Medicine","Endotracheal tube","Cuff","Tube (container)","Intensive care medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-08-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.7196/sajcc.129","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z"},{"id":"oa:W3182677848","name":"Language: a ‘mirror’ of the culture and its application English language teaching","source":"openalex","abstract":"This article is intended to highlight the linguistic principle proposed by anthropological linguists, “Language is a mirror of the culture.” The purpose of study attempts to explore foreign language teaching and learning from the perspective of language shapes thought and to improve language learning through a cross a cross-cultural communication.

However, a challenge associated with this approach is that the energy consumption of the liquefaction process can be significant, which makes the selection of an energy-efficient design an important factor in the minimization of operating costs. Since the liquefaction process operates at low temperature, its energy consumption varies with ambient temperature, which influences the trade-off point between different liquefaction process designs. A consistent set of data showing the relationship between energy consumption and cooling temperature is therefore useful in the CCUS system modelling. This study addresses this issue by modelling the performance of a variety of CO2 liquefaction processes across a range of ambient temperatures applying a methodical approach for the optimization of process operating parameters. The findings comprise a set of data for the minimum energy consumption cases. The main conclusions of this study are that an open-cycle CO2 process will offer lowest energy consumption below 20 °C cooling temperature and that over the cooling temperature range 15 to 50 °C, the minimum energy consumption for all liquefaction process rises by around 40%.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app9204467","authors":["Steven Jackson","Eivind Brodal"],"tags":["Liquefaction","Energy consumption","Process (computing)","Environmental science","Process engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-10-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app9204467","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W2806283896","name":"Assessment of the in vitro growing dynamics and kinetics of the non-pathogenic J and pathogenic 11 and 232 Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae strains","source":"openalex","abstract":"Information on the in vitro growth of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae ( M. hyopneumoniae ) strains is scarce and controversial. Despite its limitations, the colour changing units (CCU) assay is still considered the golden standard titration technique for M. hyopneumoniae culture. Thus, the aims of the present study were: (1) to describe the growth dynamics and kinetics of pathogenic and non-pathogenic M. hyopneumoniae strains, and (2) to monitor the strains’ daily growth by ATP luminometry, CCU, colony forming units (CFU), and DNA quantification by real time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and by fluorescent double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) staining, to evaluate them as putative titration methodologies. The growth of the non-pathogenic J (ATCC ® 25934™) type strain and the pathogenic 11 (ATCC ® 25095™) reference strain and 232 strain was modelled by the Gompertz model. Globally, all three-strain cultures showed the same growing phases as well as similar maximal titres within a particular technique, but for CFU. However, the J strain displayed the fastest growing. During the logarithmic phase of growing, CCU, ATP and M. hyopneumoniae copy titres were strongly and linearly associated, and correlation between techniques could be reliably established. In conclusion, real-time culture titration by means of ATP or molecular assays was useful to describe the in vitro growth of the tested strains. Knowledge about the in vitro growth behaviour of a specific strain in a specific medium may provide several advantages, including information about the time required to reach maximal titres by the culture. Noteworthy, the obtained results refers to the three strains used, so extrapolation to other M. hyopneumoniae strains or culture conditions should be made cautiously.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13567-018-0541-y","authors":["Beatriz Garcia‐Morante","Arkadiusz Dors","Rocío León-Kempis","Ana Pérez de Rozas","Joaquím Segalés","Marina Sibila"],"tags":["Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae","Biology","Microbiology","Strain (injury)","In vitro"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-05-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13567-018-0541-y","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z"},{"id":"oa:W1844413518","name":"Performance of 5-aminolevulinic-acid-based photodynamic diagnosis for radical prostatectomy","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate whether we could detect positive surgical margins during open and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy by 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) and mapping of red fluorescence in human prostate cancer cells. METHODS: All 52 patients were diagnosed with prostate cancer by biopsy. They had a positive core in the apex or highly suspicious positive margins. Open and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy was performed in 18 and 34 cases, respectively. One gram of ALA solution was given intraoperatively, orally through a stomach tube. An endoscopic PDD system, including a D-Light C, CCU Tricam SLII/3CCD CH Tricam-P PDD, and HOPKINS II Straight Forward Telescope 0°, was used. The D-Light C light source was equipped with a band-pass filter. The CCU Tricam SLII/3CCD CHTricam-P PDD video camera system was equipped with a long-pass filter. The laparoscopy optic component was equipped with a yellow long-pass filter. RESULTS: One of the 52 patients had a red-fluorescent-positive margin of the excised whole prostate and the positive surgical margin was histologically confirmed. In the section of excised prostate, we obtained 141 biopsied samples. The sensitivity and specificity were 75.0% and 87.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative ALA-PDD is feasible. However, heat degeneration and length of positive surgical margin have crucial influences on red fluorescence. In future, a randomized clinical trial should be carried out.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12894-015-0073-y","authors":["Hideo Fukuhara","Keiji Inoue","Atsushi Kurabayashi","Mutsuo Furihata","Taro Shuin"],"tags":["Medicine","Prostatectomy","Urology","Photodynamic therapy","Prostate cancer"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-07-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12894-015-0073-y","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z"},{"id":"oa:W1796094391","name":"Outcome of patients discharged from a coronary care unit with a diagnosis of \"chest pain not yet diagnosed\".","source":"openalex","abstract":"OBJECTIVE: To determine the outcome and 3-year mortality rate among patients discharged from a coronary care unit (CCU) with a diagnosis of \"chest pain not yet diagnosed.\" DESIGN: Prospective observational cohort study.

Of them, 27 refused to participate and 31 did not meet the inclusion criteria because of significant co-morbidity or transportation difficulties. INTERVENTIONS: Evaluation with maximal and thallium exercise stress testing and four major gastrointestinal (GI) investigations: 24-hour intraesophageal pH monitoring, upper GI endoscopy with biopsy, esophageal motility studies and an upper GI barium series. OUTCOME MEASURES: Results of investigations and incidence of recurrent chest pain, CCU readmission, coronary angiography, coronary artery bypass surgery, myocardial infarction and death at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after the index visit. RESULTS: Of the patients enrolled in the study 79% (79/100) had a normal exercise thallium stress test result, 74% (68/92) had an abnormal result from the 24-hour pH monitoring, 87% (82/94) had abnormal endoscopic results, 90% (84/93) had abnormal manometric results, and 89% (83/93) had signs of reflux with the barium series. At 3 years 50 patients had recurrent chest pain and 3 underwent coronary artery bypass surgery. Three patients died over the 3 years, all of noncardiac causes. CONCLUSION: Many patients discharged from the CCU with a diagnosis of chest pain not yet diagnosed have a high incidence of esophageal disorders and a very low 3-year mortality rate.

However, our current path is still not in line with the ambitions. Economics and markets can play a role, but policymakers will play the central role. Energy policies have been effective in several sectors and countries to deliver some important results so far – e.g. for cars, appliances, lighting, wind and solar PV in power – but much more needs to be done.

Simulated flow volumes were within approximately 10% of observed conditions. Observed ranges of total suspended solids, cadmium, copper, and zinc concentrations were also successfully simulated. The model was then used to simulate the potential impacts of a 1-in-100-year rainfall event. Driven by large flows and corresponding soil and sediment erosion for the 1-in-100-year event, estimated solids and metals export from the watershed is 10,000 metric tons for solids, 215 kg for Cu, 520 kg for Cu, and 15,300 kg for Zn. As expressed by the cumulative criterion unit (CCU) index, metals concentrations far exceed toxic effects thresholds, suggesting a high probability of toxic effects downstream of the gulch.

However, strong heterogeneity is one of the several challenges in developing reservoirs, especially for China’s continental tight oil reserves. This study investigates the effects of heterogeneous porosity and permeability on CO2 flooding evolution in low-permeable tight formation. We simulated CO2-EOR using a numerical model developed on the platform of TOUGH2MP-TMVOC to evaluate the effect of different levels of heterogeneity on oil production, gas storage, and flow behaviors in a tight reservoir, controlled by standard deviation and correlation length. A comparison of nine cases reveals that porosity heterogeneity commonly intensifies flow channeling, and there is an oil production decline with higher standard deviation and longer correlation length of porosity field. In addition, the porosity correlation length has a negligible effect on reservoir performance when the standard deviation is relatively low. Furthermore, strong heterogeneity also has a negative impact on the storage capacity of CO2 and oil production. Notably, as the standard deviation was raised to 0.1, a small sweep region arose with the early CO2 breakthrough, which led to a worse flooding effect. Finally, this study exemplifies that a higher injection/production rate and CO2 alternating N2 injection strategies can improve oil recovery in highly heterogeneous reservoirs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15093015","authors":["Jiashun Luo","Zhengmeng Hou","Guoqing Feng","Jianxing Liao","Muhammad Haris","Ying Xiong"],"tags":["Petroleum engineering","Porosity","Enhanced oil recovery","Permeability (electromagnetism)","Oil production"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-04-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15093015","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W1984160119","name":"Epidemiology of acute myocardial infarction with the emphasis on patients who did not reach the coronary care unit and non-AMI admissions","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2007.06.018","authors":["Johan Herlitz","Mikael Dellborg","Thomas Karlsson","Maria Haglid Evander","Alan E.

Very few studies have evaluated the potential determinants of drug utilization. Our objective was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and patterns of cardiovascular drug utilization among patients in coronary care unit (CCU) and assess the determinants of cardiovascular drug use among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, the medical records of CCU patients were reviewed independently by two trained physicians over one year. Patients were analyzed as two groups - those with CAD and without CAD. Multivariate logistic regression was done to identify the determinants of cardiovascular drug utilization in the CAD group. RESULTS: Of 574 patients, 65% were males, 57% were <60 years. The five commonly prescribed drug classes were platelet inhibitors (88.7%), statins (76.3%), ACE-inhibitors/Angiotensin receptor blockers (72%), beta-blockers (58%) and heparin (57%). Poly-pharmacy (>5 drugs) was noticed in 71% of patients. A majority of patients had diagnosis of CAD (72.6%). CAD patients received significantly higher median number of drugs and had longer duration of CCU stay (p < 0.0001).

Spatially extensive monitoring programs can characterize ecological conditions within an ecoregion and provide the necessary background information to evaluate future changes in water quality. We measured physicochemical characteristics, heavy-metal concentrations, and benthic macroinvertebrate community structure at 95 sites in the Southern Rocky Mountain ecoregion in Colorado, USA. Most sites (82%) were selected using a systematic, randomized sampling design. Each site was placed into one of four metal categories (background, low, medium, and high metals), based on the cumulative criterion unit (CCU), which we defined as the ratio of the instream metal concentration to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency criterion concentration, summed for all metals measured. A CCU of 1.0 represents a conservative estimate of the total metal concentration that, when exceeded, is likely to cause harm to aquatic organisms. Although the CCU was less than 2.0 at most (66.3%) of the sites, values exceeded 10.0 at 13 highly polluted stations. Differences among metal categories were highly significant for most measures of macroinvertebrate abundance and all measures of species richness. We observed the greatest effects on several species of heptageniid mayflies (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae), which were highly sensitive to heavy metals and were reduced by >75% at moderately polluted stations. The influence of taxonomic aggregation on responses to metals was also greatest for mayflies. In general, total abundance of mayflies and abundance of heptageniids were better indicators of metal pollution than abundance of dominant mayfly taxa. We used stepwise multiple-regression analyses to investigate the relationship between benthic community measures and physicochemical characteristics at the 78 randomly selected sites. Heavy-metal concentration was the most important predictor of benthic community structure at these sites. Because of the ubiquitous distribution of heavy-metal pollution in the Southern Rocky Mountain ecoregion, we conclude that potential effects of heavy metals should be considered when investigating large-scale spatial patterns of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in Colorado's mountain streams.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2307/2641120","authors":["William H.

Although there is a considerable body of knowledge about the management and characteristics of people with type 2 diabetes and myocardial infraction, there are few reports of the disease and demographic characteristics of the entire group of patients with diabetes admitted to a CCU. PURPOSE: To gain greater understanding of the characteristics of patients with diabetes hospitalized for a critical cardiac event in order to assist in the development of an appropriate self-management programme for CCU patients with diabetes. METHODS: Data were collected retrospectively from computerized records and charts of all patients with diabetes admitted to the CCU from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2003. FINDINGS: The proportion of type 2 diabetic patients admitted to CCU with a critical cardiac event over the 4-year study period was consistent at 14.7%, 233 in 1589 patients. More than 22% of CCU patients with diabetes were readmitted to hospital within 28 days compared with only 6% of CCU patients without diabetes. Predictors for readmission and length of stay were also examined. CONCLUSIONS: A considerable proportion of a CCU population had type 2 diabetes and these patients had significantly higher readmission rates. The implications of this study for the development of a self-management programme for patients with diabetes who experienced a critical cardiac event are discussed. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Innovative programmes are required to reduce the rate of readmission for patients with both diabetes and a critical cardiac event. These should: 1 ensure transition programmes, such as self-management, commence within the CCU environment and continue following discharge, and 2 integrate diabetes and cardiac self-management programmes to condense the large amount of information provided to patients for managing two serious conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1466-7657.2008.00636.x","authors":["Chiung‐Jung Wu","Anne M.

RESULTS: Five major thematic areas emerged: use of easily concealed-methods, discrete-access-and-information-keeping, time-of-day, non-verbal-communication and use of relationships. The study further revealed that fear, mistrust, shyness, myths, and misperceptions regarding contraceptives explain CCU among women in the communities that the providers serve.

The ProJ-ProA-ProH route is responsible for the production of proline as an osmoprotectant, and the ProB-ProA-ProI route provides proline for protein synthesis. We show here that the transcription of the anabolic proBA and proI genes is controlled in response to proline limitation via a T-box-mediated termination/antitermination regulatory mechanism, a tRNA-responsive riboswitch. Primer extension analysis revealed mRNA leader transcripts of 270 and 269 nt for the proBA and proI genes, respectively, both of which are synthesized from SigA-type promoters. These leader transcripts are predicted to fold into two mutually exclusive secondary mRNA structures, forming either a terminator or an antiterminator configuration. Northern blot analysis allowed the detection of both the leader and the full-length proBA and proI transcripts. Assessment of the level of the proBA transcripts revealed that the amount of the full-length mRNA species strongly increased in proline-starved cultures. Genetic studies with a proB-treA operon fusion reporter strain demonstrated that proBA transcription is sensitively tied to proline availability and is derepressed as soon as cellular starvation for proline sets in. Both the proBA and the proI leader sequences contain a CCU proline-specific specifier codon prone to interact with the corresponding uncharged proline-specific tRNA. By replacing the CCU proline specifier codon in the proBA T-box leader with UUC, a codon recognized by a Phe-specific tRNA, we were able to synthetically re-engineer the proline-specific control of proBA transcription to a control that was responsive to starvation for phenylalanine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.047357-0","authors":["Jeanette Brill","Tamara Hoffmann","Harald Putzer","Erhard Bremer"],"tags":["Terminator (solar)","Primer extension","Bacillus subtilis","Antitermination","Transcription (linguistics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2011-01-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.047357-0","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.227Z"},{"id":"oa:W2007608316","name":"Severity of illness and illness behaviour: A comparative study of coronary care patients","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/0022-3999(79)90072-2","authors":["D.

High efforts are required to achieve this goal, where successful CCU (Carbon Capture and Utilization) technologies will have a high impact. Biocatalysts offer a greener alternative to chemical catalysts for the development of CCU strategies since biocatalysis conforms 10 of the 12 principles of green chemistry. In this study, a multienzymatic system, based on alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), that converts CO 2 and ethanol into lactic acid leading to a 100% atom economy was studied. The system allows cofactor regeneration, thus reducing the process cost. Through reaction media engineering and enzyme ratio study, the performance of the system was able to produce up to 250 μM of lactic acid under the best conditions using 100% CO 2, corresponding to the highest concentration of lactic acid obtained up to date using this multienzymatic approach. For the first time, the feasibility of the system to be applied under a real industrial environment has been tested using synthetic gas mimicking real blast furnace off-gases composition from the iron and steel industry. Under these conditions, the system was also capable of producing lactic acid, reaching 62 μM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.3c05455","authors":["Albert Carceller","Marina Guillén","Gregorio Álvaro"],"tags":["Lactic acid","Chemistry","Alcohol dehydrogenase","Biocatalysis","Catalysis"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.3c05455","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W2291976954","name":"Molten salt CO 2 capture and electro-transformation (MSCC-ET) into capacitive carbon at medium temperature: effect of the electrolyte composition","source":"openalex","abstract":"Electrochemical transformation of CO2 into functional materials or fuels (i.e., carbon, CO) in high temperature molten salts has been demonstrated as a promising way of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) in recent years. In a view of continuous operation, the electrolysis process should match very well with the CO2 absorption kinetics. At the same time, in consideration of the energy efficiency, a molten salt electrochemical cell running at lower temperature is more beneficial to a process powered by the fluctuating renewable electricity from solar/wind farms. Ternary carbonates (Li : Na : K = 43.5 : 31.5 : 25.0) and binary chlorides (Li : K = 58.5 : 41.5), two typical kinds of eutectic melt with low melting points and a wide electrochemical potential window, could be the ideal supporting electrolyte for the molten salt CO2 capture and electro-transformation (MSCC-ET) process. In this work, the CO2 absorption behaviour in Li2O/CaO containing carbonates and chlorides were investigated on a home-made gas absorption testing system. The electrode processes as well as the morphology and properties of carbon obtained in different salts are compared to each other. It was found that the composition of molten salts significantly affects the absorption of CO2, electrode processes and performance of the product. Furthermore, the relationship between the absorption and electro-transformation kinetics are discussed based on the findings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/c5fd00234f","authors":["Bowen Deng","Zhi‐Gang Chen","Muxing Gao","Yuqiao Song","Kaiyuan Zheng","Juanjuan Tang","Wei Xiao","Xuhui Mao","Dihua Wang"],"tags":["Molten salt","Electrolyte","Eutectic system","Electrolysis","Electrochemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1039/c5fd00234f","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404060372","name":"Roadmap, current situation, and prospects of low-carbon development technologies in Chinese steel industry","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s42243-024-01359-3","authors":["Haifeng Wang","Jian Qiu","Xiaodong Ping","Feng Wang","Li-jin Lu","Jicheng Zhou","Xiuping Li"],"tags":["Current (fluid)","Carbon fibers","Technology development","Business","Metallurgy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s42243-024-01359-3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W2148772035","name":"Two Quality Control Exercises Involving Nucleic Acid Amplification Methods for Detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydophila pneumoniae and Carried Out 2 Years Apart (in 2002 and 2004)","source":"openalex","abstract":"The quality performance of laboratories for the detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydophila pneumoniae by two quality control (QC) exercises with a 2-year interval was investigated.

Intensive Care Unit (ICU) resources are limited and in high demand, with patient discharge a focal point for managing resources effectively. There are currently no universally accepted methods for assessing discharge of patients from an ICU, which can cause premature discharges and put patients at risk of subsequent deterioration, readmission to ICU or death. METHODS: We tested the ability of the NEWS to discriminate patients within 24h of admission to an ICU in a U.S. hospital during 2001-2012, by their end discharge location: home; hospital ward; nursing facility; hospice and death. The NEWS performance was compared across five different ICU specialties, using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve and a large vital signs database (n=2,723,055) collected from 28,523 critical care admissions. RESULTS: The NEWS AUROC (95% CI) at 24h following admission: all patients 0.727 (0.709-0.745); Coronary Care Unit (CCU) 0.829 (0.821-0.837); Cardiac Surgery Recovery Unit (CSRU) 0.844 (0.838-0.850); Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) 0.778 (0.767-0.791); Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) 0.775 (0.762-0.788); Trauma Surgical Intensive Care Unit (TSICU) 0.765 (0.751-0.773).

The NEWS has greater ability to discriminate patients in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) and Cardiac Surgery Recovery Unit (CSRU) compared to other ICU specialties. The NEWS has the real potential to be applied within a universal discharge planning tool for ICU, improving patient safety at the point of discharge.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-019-7541-3","authors":["Hassan Zaidi","Mohamed Bader–El–Den","James McNicholas"],"tags":["Medicine","Early warning score","Intensive care unit","Emergency medicine","Intensive care"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-09-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-019-7541-3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406042342","name":"Co‐Benefits of Yield and Nitrogen Use Efficiency Gains Through Combined Use of Controlled‐Release Urea and Conventional Urea in Rice","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT Combined use of controlled‐release urea and conventional urea (CCU) is considered a practical strategy to simultaneously achieve the dual benefits of crop yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE).

Significant yield and NUE gains from CCU were evident only when the ratio of controlled‐release urea to total nitrogen input reached 0.6 or above. Rice yield and NUE were increased simultaneously at nitrogen rates ranging from 150 to 225 kg ha−1, with no significant improvement in grain yield and NUE with nitrogen supply beyond 290 and 327 kg ha−1, respectively. In addition, rice yield and NUE were significantly greater with split rather than single application of CCU. Also, rice yield and NUE were increased when mean annual temperature (MAT), mean annual precipitation (MAP) and soil available nitrogen (AN) were more than 10°C, 800 mm, and 50 mg kg−1, respectively. Soil pH and organic matter content were significant determinants of rice yield and NUE gains with CCU. Our findings clearly demonstrate that the combined use of controlled‐release urea and conventional urea will deliver significant gains in rice yield and NUE and that it should be proposed as an effective measure for sustainable rice production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/fes3.70043","authors":["Linsheng Yang","Prakash Lakshmanan","Debao Tu","Xueyuan Sun","Yongjin Zhou","Youzun Xu","Zhong Li","Wenge Wu","Xiaoyan Liu","Ting Luo","Min Xi"],"tags":["Urea","Nitrogen","Yield (engineering)","Agronomy","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/fes3.70043","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W4221055138","name":"Life-Cycle and Techno-Economic Assessment of Early-Stage Carbon Capture and Utilization Technologies—A Discussion of Current Challenges and Best Practices","source":"openalex","abstract":"The mitigation of climate change requires research, development, and deployment of new technologies that are not only economically viable but also environmentally benign. Systematic and continuous technology assessment from early technology maturity onwards allows assessment practitioners to identify economic and environmental characteristics. With this information, decision-makers can focus time and resources on the most promising technologies. A broad toolset for technology assessment exists—stretching from the well-established life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to more loosely defined techno-economic analysis (TEA) methods and the increasingly popular principles of technology maturity assessment such as the concept of technology readiness levels (TRL). However, current technology assessment practice faces various challenges at early stages, resulting in a potential mismatch of study results and stakeholders' needs and an escalation of assessment effort. In this practice review, we outline current challenges in the interplay of LCA, TEA, and TRL and present best practices for assessing early-stage climate change mitigation technologies in the field of carbon capture and utilization (CCU). The findings help practitioners systematically identify the TRL of a technology and adapt technology assessment methodologies accordingly. We highlight the methodological challenges for practitioners when adapting the goal and scope, identifying benchmark technologies, creating a comprehensive inventory, comparing early stage to commercial stage, ensuring clarity of recommendations for decision-making under high uncertainty, and streamlining conventional LCA and TEA assessment approaches and provide actionable recommendations. Overall, this work contributes to identifying promising technologies faster and more systematically, accelerating the development of new technologies for climate change mitigation and beyond.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fclim.2022.841907","authors":["Arno Zimmermann","Tim Langhorst","Sheikh Moni","Joshua A.

Complex questions about competing interests, different ways of organising resource management, production, consumption, and integrating value chains are thus closed down to ones about efficiencies, pay-back times, and primary processing technologies. In this analysis, we move beyond this to identify archetypal pathways that span across value chains in four emissions intensive industries: plastics, steel, pulp and paper, and meat and dairy. The pathways as presented in the present paper were inductively identified in a multi-stage process throughout a four-year European research project. The identified archetypal pathways are i) production and end-use optimisation, ii) electrification with CCU, iii) CCS, iv) circular material flows, and v) diversification of bio-feedstock use. The pathways are at different stages of maturity and furthermore their maturity vary across sectors. The pathways show that decarbonisation is likely to force value chains to cross over traditional boundaries. This implies that an integrated industrial and climate policy must handle both sectoral specificities and commonalities for decarbonised industrial development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resconrec.2021.106015","authors":["Fredric Bauer","Teis Hansen","Lars J Nilsson"],"tags":["Diversification (marketing strategy)","Circular economy","Industrial organization","Value chain","Business"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-10-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resconrec.2021.106015","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W3138931362","name":"Coordinated Direct and Relay Transmission for Multiuser Networks: NOMA or Hybrid Multiple Access?","source":"openalex","abstract":"This letter proposes non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based coordinated direct and relay transmission (CDRT) and hybrid multiple access (HMA) protocols for a general CDRT system, where a base station directly serves cell-center users (CCUs), while it communicates with cell-edge users (CEUs) via a relay.

Hospitalisation is a stressful, unplanned event for both the patient and FMs and is associated with psychological disturbances, emotional distress and altered family roles and functioning. Objectives: To develop a theory of family care in critical care units (CCUs) for the South African setting. Methods: Grounded theory, based on Strauss and Corbin's school of thought, was used. Audio-recorded in-depth interviews were conducted with 32 participants (9 FMs, 17 critical care nurses and 6 doctors) at a private hospital (3 CCUs) and a state hospital (10 CCUs). Data analysis involved open, axial and selective coding. Results: The theory of family care during critical illness was identified. The core concept of the theory is empowerment, informed by the underlying constructs of information sharing, proximity, garnering resources, and cultural and religious cooperation. Conclusion: The concepts of this theory can equip healthcare professionals in CCUs to provide appropriate family care for meeting the needs of patients' FMs and, in so doing, contribute to families having a more manageable critical care experience during the illness of their loved one. Contributions of the study: This study adds to the limited body of knowledge regarding family care within the South African context. The study provides a theory to promote therapeutic partnerships between health care professionals, patients and FMs that will provide support for both the patient and FMs.It is further anticipated that the findings of the study will contribute not only to nurses' critical care curriculum, which currently includes very limited family support content, but also be helpful to doctors working in intensive care units.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7196/sajcc.2019.v35i1.388","authors":["Jennifer de Beer","Petra Brysiewicz"],"tags":["Grounded theory","Empowerment","Nursing","Medicine","Context (archaeology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-08-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.7196/sajcc.2019.v35i1.388","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W2145584055","name":"Co-sputtering C-Cu thin film synthesis: Microstructural study of copper precipitates encapsulated into a carbon matrix","source":"openalex","abstract":"Co-sputtered C-Cu thin film depositions have been performed in the temperature range 80-873 K, the atomic carbon concentration varying from 16% to 96%. To characterize the microstructure of the C-Cu thin films, transmission electron microscopy, extended X-ray absorption fine structure and grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering experiments have been used. During the deposition process, a demixing occurs of the carbon and copper species due to their very low solubilities that leads to the formation of nanometric copper precipitates homogeneously distributed in a more or less graphitic matrix. These precipitates have an elongated shape in the direction of the thin film growth. When the deposition was performed at 273 K for copper atomic concentrations CCu > 55%, as well as for all thin films synthesized at 573 K whatever the CCu value, the formation of graphene layers parallel to the surface of the copper precipitates was observed so that an encapsulation of the Cu aggregates in carbon cages occurs. We propose that surface diffusion of the different species occurring during the deposition process leads to the demixing of carbon and copper. Thus, we suggest that the copper acts as a catalyst for graphitization of carbon to explain the formation of such structures at temperatures as low as those used in these experiments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13642819908206423","authors":["Thierry Cabioc’h","A.

Although myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are defined by cytopenias, dysplastic morphology of blood and marrow cells, and clonal hematopoiesis, most individuals who acquire clonal hematopoiesis during aging will never develop MDS. Therefore, acquisition of somatic mutations that drive clonal expansion in the absence of cytopenias and dysplastic hematopoiesis can be considered clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), analogous to monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis, which are precursor states for hematologic neoplasms but are usually benign and do not progress. Because mutations are frequently observed in healthy older persons, detection of an MDS-associated somatic mutation in a cytopenic patient without other evidence of MDS may cause diagnostic uncertainty.

These samples underwent bacteriological analysis to evaluate the degree of bacterial contamination. RESULTS: We found that 45 out of 55 samples from physicians (81.81%) and 58 out of 77 samples from nurses (75.32%) showed bacterial contamination.

Furthermore, the overall contamination rates in the ICUs, NICUs, and CCUs of the PHs were 78.26%, 88.88%, and 66.66%, respectively. The overall contamination rates of mobile phones in the CH and PHs were 72.11% and 81.13%, respectively. CONCLUSION: These findings underscore the necessity of routinely disinfecting the mobile phones of HCWs to mitigate the risk of cross-contamination. Implementing robust disinfection protocols can significantly contribute to curtailing the propagation of bacterial pathogens and reducing the incidence of HAIs in healthcare settings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms11081986","authors":["Nabil Dhayhi","Nader Kameli","Mohammed Salawi","Amjad A.

It took place in a large district general hospital with a regional cardio-thoracic centre. We have audited the asystolic cardiac arrests (N=271) which occurred outside the cardiac care unit (CCU). Adrenaline (intravenous 1 mg) is now the first line drug followed by atropine at an increased dose (2 mg intravenously); calcium is no longer recommended and sodium bicarbonate should be reserved for cases in which an acidosis has been documented. Atropine use has increased over the 9-year period. Bicarbonate use did not change from 1982 to 1986 but fell progressively to no use at all in 1991. Calcium use has declined since 1982. Adrenaline use has remained unchanged. Survival from asystolic arrests (hospital discharge) has remained unchanged at 0–5·5%. Asystole as a primary event in the CCU was uncommon f N=17) and no patient was discharged. Over the same period, 60% of patients (N=92) with a cardiac arrest on CCU due to ventricular fibrillation (VF) were discharged and 55% were alive after 6 months. For VFon the wards (N=192), only 20% of patients were discharged from hospital. A similar proportion was successful for each year. All cases of electromechanical dissociation on the wards (N=93) and on CCU (N = 19) failed to survive to hospital discharge. Although the U.K. Resuscitation Council guidelines for the management of cardiac arrest are becoming assimilated by the resuscitation teams, changing drug usage has not been associated with an obvious improvement in outcome. The small numbers in this single centre study may have precluded the demonstration of a real benefit of a change in drug usage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.eurheartj.a060122","authors":["Rina Levy","W E Rhoden","KENNETH S.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) may allow the identification of high-risk patients and facilitate planned postoperative critical care support. The aim of this study was to determine whether preoperative CPET in patients aged over 80 undergoing elective colorectal cancer resection was associated with improved outcome. METHOD: All patients aged 80 years and above undergoing elective colorectal cancer resection between 1 March 2011 and 1 September 2013 were retrospectively analysed. Referral for CPET testing was at the discretion of the operating surgeon. Postoperative critical care unit (CCU) admission was based upon the CPET results. RESULTS: Ninety-four patients were identified, of whom 48 underwent CPET testing. The CPET group were significantly older than the non-CPET group (85 vs 83 years, P = 0.04) and were more likely to have a planned admission to CCU postoperatively (P < 0.0001). Despite the increased use of CCU resources, the overall CCU length of stay (LOS) in the CPET group did not differ from the non-CPET group, but the non-CPET group had a higher proportion of Level-3 care. There were no differences in the incidence of unplanned CCU admission between the CPET and the non-CPET group (P = 0.23). There were no differences in overall LOS between the two groups (P = 0.42). There was no difference in mortality (P = 0.11), overall complications (P = 0.53) or severe complications (P = 0.3). CONCLUSION: Preoperative CPET testing in patients aged over 80 undergoing elective colorectal cancer resection allows identification of higher-risk patients and mitigation of risk by preemptive admission to a CCU. This stratification allows equivalent results to be achieved in high- and low-risk elderly patients undergoing colorectal surgery.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/codi.13139","authors":["KH Chan","Samir Pathak","Neil Smart","Nicholas Batchelor","I.

Three types of fracturing fluid systems containing CO2, namely CO2 dry fracturing fluid, CO2 energized fracturing fluid, and CO2 foam fracturing fluid, are categorized based on the mass ratio and process difference between CO2, water, and treatment agents. However, the mining applications in China reveal that several problem areas remain unresolved: (1) The application scope of CO2 fracturing fluids is limited to the reconstruction of medium-deep wells, depleted reservoirs, and old wells with low formation pressure coefficients. (2) Different systems require different processes and ground supporting equipment due to the various types of CO2 fracturing fluids. (3) Further optimization of CO2 compatibility, functionality, temperature and salt tolerance, as well as the cost of treatment agents is needed. (4) The CO2 fracturing fluid system has low control over friction, filtration, and sand-carrying capacity. (5) There is currently no targeted industry standard evaluation system or performance evaluation method for treatment agents. In future field applications, researchers need to consider the adaptability and compatibility of existing equipment for different systems and processes while studying the mechanism of CO2 fracturing fluids. It is also essential to develop recyclable industrial-grade treatment agents, as well as low-density proppants and high-performance systems. To meet the goals of CCUS-EOR, CCUS-EGR, or fracturing displacement burial integration, optimization of the CO2 fracturing fluid fracturing design depth is necessary. This process should take into account the overall reservoir geological conditions, physical parameters, CO2 transport conditions, well site layout, and other related factors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.petlm.2023.12.001","authors":["Jinzhou Zhao","Tong Wu","Wanfen Pu","Daijun Du","Qingyuan Chen","Bowen Chen","Jintao Li","Yitao Huang"],"tags":["Fracturing fluid","Petroleum engineering","Hydraulic fracturing","Adaptability","Compatibility (geochemistry)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.petlm.2023.12.001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400900723","name":"It is not the same blue: A comparative LCA study of blue hydrogen supply network pathways","source":"openalex","abstract":"Blue hydrogen (H2) serves as a pivotal initial step towards emissions reduction and a seamless transition to green hydrogen by providing a cleaner alternative to grey hydrogen. Blue H2 can be obtained through diverse pathways (i.e., distinct processes and stages) within the hydrogen supply network (HSN), resulting in varying greenhouse gas emission levels. This paper uses the Life Cycle Assessment methodology to compare 18 different blue HSN pathways. Blue hydrogen is produced from three different processes (i.e., Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), Partial Oxidation of Methane (POM), and Auto-Thermal Reforming (ATR)) that are coupled with carbon capture unit (CCU). Moreover, it can be conditioned to different states or carriers (i.e., liquefied H2, compressed H2, ammonia, and methanol), stored using various methods, transported by different means according to its state, and reconditioned to its original state at end-users. The LCA results indicate that the NH3 pathway has the least environmental impact measuring just 2.12 kgCO2equ/ kgH2 compared to the other 18 blue HSN pathways. This pathway involves producing hydrogen from ATR process coupled with CCS, and eventually delivering as ammonia to consumers. Additionally, the blue H2 results of this paper are compared to the green H2 results discussed in the previous paper. The comparison highlights that integrating renewable energy in the form concentrated photovoltaic collectors produces the lowest emissions compared to all pathways. It reduces the emissions from 45.3% to 67% depending on the pathways, compared to the ATR process coupled with CCU.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2024.07.165","authors":["Dana Alghool","Mohamed Haouari","Paolo Trucco"],"tags":["Hydrogen","Energy carrier","Greenhouse gas","Renewable energy","Ammonia"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2024.07.165","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W3159538667","name":"Hospital performance in a large urban acute myocardial infarction emergency care system: Tokyo Cardiovascular Care Unit network","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jjcc.2021.04.002","authors":["Takeshi Yamamoto","Toshiaki Otsuka","Nobuko Yoshida","Yoshinori Kobayashi","Nobuyuki Komiyama","Kazuhiro Hara","Masato Nakamura","Hiroshi Ohira","Takahiro Shibata","Tomoki Shimokawa","Tadateru Takayama","Tamotsu Tejima","Tetsuro Ueda","Kazumasa Harada","Ken Nagao","Morimasa Takayama"],"tags":["Medicine","Emergency medicine","Myocardial infarction","Funnel plot","Medical emergency"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jjcc.2021.04.002","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W2065799527","name":"Experimental vaccination against Mycoplasma agalactiae using different inactivated vaccines","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0264-410x(99)00070-5","authors":["Sebastiana Tola"],"tags":["Saponin","Biology","Vaccination","Microbiology","Pregnancy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"1999-07-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0264-410x(99)00070-5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W1933491039","name":"Increased CKMB (mass concentration) in patients without traditional evidence of acute myocardial infarction.

This study aimed to investigate the performance of four scoring systems in predicting in-hospital mortality in CCU patients with AMI. Methods The baseline data, the logistic organ dysfunction system (LODS), the Oxford acute severity of illness score (OASIS), the simplified acute physiology score II (SAPS II), and the simplified acute physiology score III (SAPS III) scores of the patients were extracted from the fourth edition of the Medical Information Mart for Critical Care (MIMIC-IV) database. Independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality were identified by regression analysis. We performed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and compared the area under the curve (AUC) to clarify the predictive value of the four scoring systems. Meanwhile, Kaplan–Meier curves and decision curve analysis (DCA) were performed to determine the optimal scoring system for predicting in-hospital mortality. Results A total of 1,098 patients were included. The SAPS III was an independent risk factor for predicting in-hospital mortality in CCU patients with AMI before and after the propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. The discrimination of in-hospital mortality by SAPS III was superior to that of LODS, OASIS, and SAPS II. The AUC of the SAPS III scoring system was the highest among the four scoring systems, at 0.901 (before PSM) and 0.736 (after PSM). Survival analysis showed that significantly more in-hospital mortality occurred in the high-score SAPS III group compared to the low-score SAPS III group before PSM (HR 7.636, P < 0.001) and after PSM (HR 2.077, P = 0.005). The DCA curve of SAPS III had the greatest benefit score across the largest threshold range compared to the other three scoring systems. Conclusion The SAPS III was an independent risk factor for predicting in-hospital mortality in CCU patients with AMI. The predictive value for in-hospital mortality with SAPS III is superior to that of LODS, OASIS, and SAPS II. The results of the DCA analysis suggest that SAPS III may provide a better clinical benefit for patients. We demonstrated that SAPS III is an excellent scoring system for predicting in-hospital mortality for CCU patients with AMI.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fcvm.2022.989561","authors":["Xiaoyu Zheng","Tianyang Hu","Tingrong Liu","Wei Wang"],"tags":["Medicine","Coronary care unit","Myocardial infarction","Internal medicine","Cardiology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-12-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fcvm.2022.989561","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W2038053268","name":"Age- and gender-related differences in drug utilisation and adverse drug reaction patterns among patients in a coronary care unit","source":"openalex","abstract":"INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to examine age- and gender-related differences in the comorbidities, drug utilisation and adverse drug reaction (ADR) patterns of patients admitted to a coronary care unit (CCU).

The framework of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) is well suited to developing an assessment tool that is comprehensive and readily integrated into the intensive care unit (ICU) training environment. Objective This study sought to design an EPA-based tool to assess competence in CCUS for pulmonary and critical care fellows and to assess the validity and reliability of the tool. Methods Eight experts in CCUS met to define the core EPAs for CCUS. A nominal group technique was used to reach consensus. An assessment tool was created based on the EPAs with a modified Ottawa entrustability scale. Trained faculty evaluated pulmonary and critical care fellows using this tool in the ICU over a 6-month study period at a single institution. An assessment of validity of the EPA-based tool is made with four sources of validity evidence: content, response process, reliability, and relation to other variables. Reliability and response process data were generated using generalizability theory analysis to estimate sources of variance in entrustment scores. Analysis of response process validity and validity by relation to other variables was performed using regression models. Results Fifty-four assessments were recorded during the study period, conducted on 23 trainees by 13 faculty. Content validity of the tool was demonstrated using expert consensus and published guidelines from critical care societies to define the EPAs. Response process validity was demonstrated by the low variance in entrustment scores due to evaluators (0.086 or 6%) and high agreement between score and trainee self-assessment (regression coefficient, 0.82; P < 0.0001). Reliability was demonstrated by the high “true” variance in entrustment score attributable to the trainee: 0.674 or 45%. Validity by relation to other variables was demonstrated using regression analysis to show correlation between entrustment score and the number of times a fellow has performed an EPA (regression coefficient, 0.023; P < 0.0001). Conclusion An EPA-based assessment tool for competence in CCUS was created. We obtained sufficient validity evidence on three of the diagnostic EPAs. Procedural EPAs were infrequently assessed, limiting generalizability in this subgroup.","url":"https://doi.org/10.34197/ats-scholar.2022-0063oc","authors":["Hayley P. Israel","Martin D.

Because many economies will continue to depend on fossil fuels as primary energy sources, CO 2 capture and storage (CCS) must play a major role in curbing CO 2 emissions. A large portion of CO 2 storage will need to occur in saline reservoirs because these resources are more widely distributed than hydrocarbon resources—where CO 2 capture utilization and storage (CCUS) can be deployed for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). CCS deployment can be accelerated with a pressure-management strategy, called pre-injection brine production that proactively manages project risks linked to reservoir pressure. In this approach, a CCS wellfield is deployed sequentially, one well at a time, with each well being used for three stages: (1) monitoring, (2) brine production, and (3) CO 2 injection. Using the same well to produce brine before injecting CO 2 provides pre-injection reservoir diagnostics needed for proactive planning of wellfield operations. Because pressure drawdown is greatest where CO 2 injection will subsequently occur, reservoir pressure is efficiently managed per well, and per unit of removed brine. This approach to managing geologic CO 2 storage can (1) identify resources with sufficient CO 2 storage capacity and permanence, and provide information needed to effectively manage those resources prior to injecting CO 2 ; (2) increase CO 2 storage capacity and efficiency; (3) limit pore-space competition with neighboring subsurface operations; and (4) reduce the duration of post-injection site care and monitoring, while (5) creating the opportunity to generate water, using an emerging CCUS technology called enhanced water recovery (EWR). Although beneficial consumptive use of produced brine may be preferred in water-constrained regions, there may be situations where the brine composition is not economically treatable, which could necessitate reinjecting some or all of the produced brine into a separate reservoir. In this study we consider a range of brine-disposition options, from 100% reinjection in the subsurface to near zero net injection of fluid, which maximizes the water generation benefit per tonne of stored CO 2 . These options are analyzed for a case where a nearby saline reservoir overlying a CO 2 storage reservoir is used to store some or all of the brine removed from the CO 2 storage reservoir.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2016.04.018","authors":["Thomas A.

METHODS: This study included 95 patients who were suspected of having an occlusion of the ICA on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and underwent both CCU and conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in order to confirm the diagnosis. TOCU was also performed to observe the cervical portion of the ICA distal to the stenosis. We compared the ultrasonographic findings with the DSA findings. RESULTS: Twelve of the 95 patients were defined as having an ICA pseudo-occlusion on DSA. On B-mode images with CCU color Doppler, slight residual flow signals in the ICA lumen were shown in 20 patients. Among them, 2 patients had a pulsed Doppler waveform of the distal ICA occlusion pattern. Among the remaining 18 patients, 4 had a pulsed Doppler waveform of the to and fro flow pattern, and 14 had a weak antegrade flow pattern in the ICA lumen. The conventional ultrasonographic method showed 100% sensitivity with 93% specificity for diagnosing an ICA pseudo-occlusion. The addition of TOCU findings increased the specificity to 98%. In 2 patients, who were overdiagnosed as having an ICA pseudo-occlusion even using TOCU, DSA revealed an occlusion of the ICA distal to the ophthalmic artery with a severe stenosis of the proximal ICA.

Thus, CO2 capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 capture and usage (CCU) are intensively investigated technologies to decrease the concentration of atmospheric CO2. Both CCS and CCU require appropriate materials to adsorb/release and adsorb/activate CO2, respectively. Recently, it has been theoretically and experimentally shown that transition metal carbides (TMC) are able to capture, store, and activate CO2. To further improve the adsorption capacity of these materials, a deep understanding of the atomic level processes involved is essential. In the present work, we theoretically investigate the possible effects of surface metal doping of these TMCs by taking TiC as a textbook case and Cr, Hf, Mo, Nb, Ta, V, W, and Zr as dopants. Using periodic slab models with large supercells and state-of-the-art density functional theory based calculations we show that CO2 adsorption is enhanced by doping with metals down a group but worsened along the d series. Adsorption sites, dispersion and coverage appear to play a minor, secondary constant effect. The dopant-induced adsorption enhancement is highly biased by the charge rearrangement at the surface. In all cases, CO2 activation is found but doping can shift the desorption temperature by up to 135 K.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/c8cp03648a","authors":["Martí López","Luke Broderick","John J.

Considering the lack of a study on the relationship between frailty syndrome and self-care ability in the elderly with heart failure in the Guilan province, the North of Iran, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between fertility syndrome and self-care ability in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present cross-sectional correlational study was conducted in 2020. Research settings were the CCU and post CCU wards in the East Guilan public hospitals. The sample size was 125 people who were selected by the convenience sampling method. The research tools include; Self-Care Heart Failure Index and Tilburg Frailty Index Questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20 using descriptive and inferential statistics with a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS: The results showed that the mean score of frailty syndrome in the elderly with heart failure was 5.44 ± 2.47. In addition, the mean score of self-care in the elderly with heart failure was 67.16 ± 10.96.

On the other hand, using CO2 as a reactant in chemical processes is a challenging task, and a rigorous analysis of the performance is needed to evaluate the real impact of CCU technologies in terms of efficiency and environmental footprint. In this paper, the energetic performance of a DME and methanol synthesis process fed by 25% of the CO2 captured from a natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plant and by the green hydrogen produced through an electrolyser was evaluated. The remaining 75% of the CO2 was compressed and stored underground. The process was assessed by means of an exergetic analysis and compared to post-combustion Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), where 100% of the CO2 captured was stored underground. Through the exergy analysis, the quality degradation of energy was quantified, and the sources of irreversibility were detected. The carbon-emitting source was a 189 MW Brayton–Joule power plant, which was mainly responsible for exergy destruction. The CCU configuration showed a higher exergy efficiency than the CCS, but higher exergy destruction per non-emitted carbon dioxide. In the DME/methanol production plant, the main contribution to exergy destruction was given by the distillation column separating the reactor outlet stream and, in particular, the top-stage condenser was found to be the component with the highest irreversibility (45% of the total). Additionally, the methanol/DME synthesis reactor destroyed a significant amount of exergy (24%). Globally, DME/methanol synthesis from CO2 and green hydrogen is feasible from an exergetic point of view, with 2.276 MJ of energy gained per 1 MJ of exergy destroyed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15103516","authors":["Marcello De Falco","Gianluca Natrella","Mauro Capocelli","Paulina Popielak","Marcelina Sołtysik","Dariusz Wawrzyńczak","Izabela Majchrzak‐Kucęba"],"tags":["Exergy","Process engineering","Environmental science","Flue gas","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-05-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15103516","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W4324051807","name":"Public Acceptance and Willingness to Pay for Carbon Capture and Utilisation Products","source":"openalex","abstract":"Although the significance of the social science agenda reflecting and affecting the carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) value chain has been acknowledged, there is still a scarcity of research about it. This work contributes in developing an understanding of public perceptions regarding the acceptance, use, and purchasing of carbon dioxide (CO2)-derived products through an online quantitative survey. Our research suggests the awareness and acceptance of such products are relatively high. Respondents were in favour of CO2-derived product promotion by policy makers and the industry, approved the funding of such schemes by government, and supported companies that use captured CO2 in their products. The product category seems to influence the willingness of people to use and buy CO2-derived products, with our respondents being more willing to use CO2-derived fuels than food or beverages, showing a caution toward health-related risks. Respondents were also more willing to buy a CO2-derived product if it was cheaper or better for the environment. Male respondents were in general less willing to pay for CCU-based products, while people aged 25 to 29 were more positive toward them. We conclude that the public will be in favour of CCU-based products and willing to buy them if the involved stakeholders do their part in delivering a safe product at a comparable quality and price to existing ones. Better information provision can also support this cause.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cleantechnol5010022","authors":["Tryfonas Pieri","Alexandros Nikitas","Athanasios Angelis-Dimakis"],"tags":["Willingness to pay","Business","Product (mathematics)","Purchasing","Marketing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-03-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cleantechnol5010022","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W2106665082","name":"Cardiovascular drug adverse reactions in hospitalized patients in cardiac care unit","source":"openalex","abstract":"The aim of the present survey was to evaluate different aspects of cardiovascular drug adverse reactions in a cardiac care unit (CCU).

Global warming resulting from the continuously increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration is becoming a serious and pressing issue that needs to be controlled. CO2 capture and storage/use (CCS/CCU) provide a promising route to mitigate the environmental consequences of CO2 emission from fossil fuel combustion. In recent years, hollow fiber membrane contactors are regarded as an advanced technique with several competitive advantages over conventional technologies such as easy scale-up, independent control of flow rates, more operational flexibility, absence of flooding and foaming as well as high interfacial area per unit volume. However, many factors such as the membrane material selection, proper choice of solvent, and membrane module design are critical to success. In this regard, this paper aims at covering all areas related to hollow fiber membranes, including membrane material, membrane modification, membrane surface modification, shape, solvent characterization, operating parameters and costs, hybrid process, membrane lifetime, and energy consumption as well as commercially available systems. Current progress, future potential, and development of pilot-scale applications of this strategy are also assessed carefully. Furthermore, pore wetting as the main technical challenge in membrane contactor industrial implementation for post- and pre-combustion CO2 capture processes is investigated in detail.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr10102103","authors":["Rouzbeh Ramezani","Luca Di Felice","Fausto Gallucci"],"tags":["Contactor","Process engineering","Hollow fiber membrane","Materials science","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-10-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr10102103","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W2943042633","name":"Lateral strength and ductility of reinforced concrete columns strengthened with NSM FRP rebars and FRP jacket","source":"openalex","abstract":"Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping of reinforced concrete (RC) columns is an effective way to improve their shear capacity and ductility and prevent buckling in their longitudinal reinforcements. Another strengthening method called the near surface mounted (NSM) reinforcement has been proven effective in improving the flexural strength of RC columns. In this research, the strengthening of RC columns with the combined use of NSM rebars and FRP jacket was studied using a finite element modeling approach. After validating the numerical models with the existing experimental data, a comprehensive parametric study was performed to determine the effect of axial load, implementing the FRP confinement around the base or over the entire height of the column, the number of plies of FRP jacket, the type of jacket fiber, the ratio of NSM reinforcement, and the compressive strength of the concrete on the behavior of the strengthened RC columns. The results show that the optimum number of plies of jacket for reaching a desirable level of ductility can be determined by setting the maximum compressive strain in the confined concrete, $$\\varepsilon_{\\text{ccu}}$$ , to 0.008.

Hybrid units are staffed with a low proportion of specialist critical care nurses. These changes may pose risks to nurse satisfaction and retention, and quality of patient care. The aims of this study were to explore specialist cardiac nurses' perceived work satisfaction across four CCUs, and differences in satisfaction between dedicated and hybrid CCUs. METHODS: This concurrent mixed methods study comprised two Phases in four Victorian CCUs (2 dedicated, 2 hybrid). In Phase 1, 74 specialist cardiac nurses completed the Professional Practice Environment (PPE) Scale. In Phase 2, 17 specialist cardiac nurses were interviewed to further explore elements of the PPE subscales. Descriptive, inferential (Phase 1), and content analyses (Phase 2) were performed. RESULTS: < 0.05). There were no significant differences in overall satisfaction or in any subscale of the PPE Scale between dedicated and hybrid units. Qualitative data revealed nurses in hybrid units felt they had less control over practice, lacked autonomy, had poor relationships with physicians, and experienced inadequate nurse leadership. CONCLUSIONS: Specialist cardiac nurses' workplace satisfaction overall is high, with no significant differences between dedicated and hybrid CCUs. However, the structure of specialist cardiac units and NUM leadership skill level can impact nurses' satisfaction with their workplace and collegial relationships. Strong nursing leadership that is respectful of nursing expertise and places patient safety foremost positively impacts nurses' satisfaction. Further studies should assess the impact of the types of CCUs and NUM leadership on workforce factors such as nurse retention rates and patient outcomes such as adverse events.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12912-019-0367-6","authors":["Judy Currey","Stephanie K.

Moreover, the assessment is performed considering the region-specific features of two of the largest CO2 emitters in Europe, namely Italy and Poland. Results shows that the complete storage of the captured CO2 reduces Global Warming Potential (GWP) by ~89% in Italy and ~97%, in Poland. On the other hand, the partial utilization of CO2 to produce dimethyl ether leads to a decrease of ~58% in Italy and ~68% in Poland with respect to a comparable reference entailing conventional dimethyl ether production. A series of environmental trade-offs was determined, with all the investigated categories apart from GWP showing an increase, mainly connected with the higher energy requirements of CCUS processes.

CCUS is proposed as an effective mitigation strategy which is often estimated to account for about 15% of cumulative carbon emission reduction. In-situ CO 2 mineralization sequestration, compared to conventional geological storage methods such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, unmineable coal seams, and deep saline aquifers, offers the advantage of permanent immobilization of injected carbon. However, uncertainties persist regarding the characteristics of geochemical interactions under reservoir pore conditions, as well as the kinetic mechanisms of mineralization reactions. Additionally, geochemical reactions may lead to solid particle transport and deposition, potentially causing pore throat occlusion. Pilot projects in Iceland and the United States have demonstrated the feasibility of this technology, but the field remains in the early deployment stage. In this review, the mechanisms of in-situ mineralization have been elucidated, the primary factors influencing the reaction kinetics have been discussed, and the current research status in this field has been summarized. It is emphasized that establishing a reliable system for evaluating storage capacity and understanding the kinetic mechanisms governing CO 2 conversion into minerals at multi-phase interfaces are key priorities for future work.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40789-025-00755-8","authors":["Hang Ye","Qi Liu","Qi Bao","Zhanpeng Wang","Yanjun Xie","Michelle Ma","Wentao Zhao","Chenggang Xian"],"tags":["Carbon sequestration","Mineralization (soil science)","Environmental science","Greenhouse gas","Coal"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40789-025-00755-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W4390977691","name":"One step closer: Laypeople’s perception of production steps for manufacturing CO2-based jet fuel","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Background The need for greenhouse gas abatement measures grows as climate change threatens life on earth. Negative emission technologies, such as carbon capture and utilization (CCU), can reduce emissions from the transport sector, particularly aviation. However, the lack of support and low public acceptance can impact the successful introduction of new technologies. This study analyzes the factors that influence acceptance of the single production steps (capture, purification, conversion, and transport of CO2) of production of CO2-based jet fuels to identify acceptance hot spots and potential roll-out barriers. Results In a quantitative survey with n = 543 German respondents, we find that transport of CO2 in comparison with capture, purification, and conversion of CO2 into hydrocarbons is perceived as less acceptable, efficient, and useful, more expensive as well as damaging for the environment and health. Furthermore, product-step specific risk perceptions, as well as benefit and barrier perceptions for CCU mainly predict people’s attitude towards the four production steps. A cluster-analysis revealed two groups, “Approvers” and “Sceptics”, which were characterized by distinctive perception profiles. Further analysis showed that sustainability (e.g., use of renewable energy) and efficiency (e.g., carbon removal and resource use) were of greater importance to Approvers. Conclusions The study’s results suggest the need for further research and information provision to enhance public understanding of the technology and its role as a part of circular economy approaches. Risk perceptions play a central role in determining attitudes towards CCU, which should be considered in future studies and communication strategies. The findings can inform policymakers, industry stakeholders, and communication experts working to promote sustainable aviation fuel technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13705-024-00441-8","authors":["Linda Engelmann","Katrin Arning","Martina Ziefle"],"tags":["Jet fuel","Greenhouse gas","Production (economics)","Sustainability","Perception"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13705-024-00441-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W2999494052","name":"Indoor exposure to airborne bacteria and fungi in sensitive wards of an academic pediatric hospital","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10453-020-09624-0","authors":["Seyed Hamed Mirhoseini","Mojtaba Didehdar","Majid Akbari","Rahmatollah Moradzadeh","Reza Jamshidi","Sara Torabi"],"tags":["Cladosporium","Penicillium","Bioaerosol","Micrococcus","Indoor air"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-01-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10453-020-09624-0","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W3130861164","name":"Biogas to Syngas through the Combined Steam/Dry Reforming Process: An Environmental Impact Assessment","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The combined steam/dry reforming (S/DR) technology was used to produce syngas from clean biogas.

Moreover, this technique could be similarly applicable to natural gas and nitrogen projects to increase oil recovery and to reduce the associated gas flaring. However, miscible displacement may not be achievable for all reservoirs, in particular, reservoirs with high temperature where high injection pressure would be needed to reach miscibility which likely exceeds the formation fracture pressure. Therefore, to further achieve reservoirs’ potential, there is a pressing need to explore a viable means to decrease the miscibility pressure, and thus expand the application envelop of miscible gas injection in reservoirs with high temperatures. In this work, we aim to provide insights into minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) reduction by adding chemicals into CO2 phase during injection. We achieved this objective by performing a comprehensive review on chemical-assisted MMP reduction using different chemical additives (e.g., alcohols, fatty acids, surfactants) and different experimental methodologies. Previous experimental studies have shown that a fraction of chemical additives can yield up to 22% of MMP reduction in CO2-oil system. Based on results analysis, surfactant based chemicals were found to be more efficient compared to alcohol based chemicals in reducing the interfacial tension in the CO2-oil system. Based on the current experimental results, adding chemicals to improve the miscibility and reduce the MMP in the CO2-oil system appears to be a promising technique to increase oil recovery while reducing operating cost. Selection of the effective chemical additives may help to expand the application of miscible gas injection to shallow and high temperature reservoirs. Furthermore, our review provides an overall framework to screen potential chemical additives and an injection strategy to be used for miscible displacement in CO2 and/or gas systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.petlm.2021.01.001","authors":["Mohamed Almobarak","Zangyuan Wu","Daiyu Zhou","Kun Fan","Yongbing Liu","Quan Xie"],"tags":["Miscibility","Enhanced oil recovery","Petroleum engineering","Greenhouse gas","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-01-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.petlm.2021.01.001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W4387435392","name":"Synthesis, characterization and enhancing efficiency of composite CuO2/CuO nanostructures deposited on porous activated carbon for supercapacitors electrode applications","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfin.2023.103501","authors":["Ekaphan Swatsitang","Sunan Nonglek","Attaphol Karaphun","Sasitorn Putjuso","Supinya Nijpanich","Thanin Putjuso"],"tags":["Materials science","Cyclic voltammetry","Supercapacitor","Analytical Chemistry (journal)","Dielectric spectroscopy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-10-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfin.2023.103501","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400699898","name":"Annual progress in global carbon capture, utilization, and storage in 2023","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Since the industrial revolution, global anthropogenic CO2 emissions have surged dramatically to unsustainable levels, resulting in severe issues, such as global warming, extreme weather events, and species extinction.

The outbreak started in the intensive care areas (intensive care unit (ICU), coronary care unit (CCU), and high dependency unit) but cases were subsequently diagnosed in other medical and surgical units. In addition to the patients' clinical and screening samples, environmental swabs from high touch areas and from the hands of 35 staff were collected. All the positive samples from patients and environmental screening were confirmed using MALDI-TOF, and additional ITS-rDNA sequencing was done for ten clinical and two environmental isolates. There were 32 patients positive for C. auris of which 14 (43.8%) had urinary tract infection, 11 (34.4%) had candidemia, and 7 (21.8%) had asymptomatic skin colonization. The median age was 64 years (14-88) with 17 (53.1%) male and 15 (46.9%) female patients. Prior to diagnosis, 21 (65.6%) had been admitted to the intensive care unit, and 11 (34.4%) had been nursed in medical or surgical wards. The crude mortality rate in our patient's cohort was 53.1. Two swabs collected from a ventilator in two different beds in the ICU were positive for C. auris. None of the health care worker samples were positive.

Compared with reference streams, and over the course of clean-up remediation efforts below an abandoned open-pit sulfur mine in the central Sierra Nevada of California, improving water quality was accompanied by recovery of benthic communities at some sites. Years of high flow resulted in degraded biological status when acid mine drainage capture was incomplete and metal loading had increased with runoff. Seasonal patterns of recovery evident in the fall after the summer treatment season reverted in the next spring after overwinter periods when sources were not captured. As the metal load has been reduced, phased recovery of community structure, function, and similarity progressed toward that of reference assemblage taxonomic composition. From impacted communities dominated by relatively tolerant midges, reassembly involved an increase in density, return of long-lived taxa, an increased ratio of sensitive-to-tolerant forms, then overall diversity and community composition, and eventually large predators and grazers reappearing along with mayfly, stonefly, and caddisfly richness. Threshold effect levels defined using several analysis methods showed that the response range of biological indicators corresponds to US Environmental Protection Agency guidelines of predicted effects utilizing cumulative criterion units (CCUs) of metal toxicity (i.e., CCU ∼ 1). All sites have shown improved function with increased density of some or all trophic groups over time.

A3Gctd exhibited a 45-fold preference for 5'-CCC substrate over 5'-CCU substrate, which explains why A3G displays almost no processivity within a 5'-CCC motif.

SETTING: Coronary care unit (CCU). SUBJECTS: Eighty consecutive patients of which 40 suffered from acute myocardial infarction (AMI). RESULTS: The AMI and non-AMI groups did not differ with regard to (i) the intensity of chest pain being mainly of moderate degree and (ii) the mean number of qualities of the presenting chest pain that were between 3 and 4. Patients with AMI reported extension of chest pain over a wider body area than patients in the non-AMI group (P < 0.0001). A second type of chest pain in addition to the major type of chest pain was reported by only 25% of the patients with AMI compared to 68% in the non-AMI group (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Intensity, quality and localization of presenting acute chest pain in patients admitted to the CCU do not differentiate between patients with or without AMI. Extension of pain over a major part of the chest-related body surface and the absence of secondary pain appear to identify at least half of the patients with ongoing AMI.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2796.1994.tb01105.x","authors":["Björn E.

We aimed to construct prognostic models able to predict good neurological outcome of OHCA patients within 48 h after CCU admission using variables that are bedside available. METHODS: Based on prospectively gathered data, a retrospective data analysis was performed on 107 successfully resuscitated OHCA patients with a presumed cardiac cause of arrest. Targeted temperature management at 33 °C was initiated at CCU admission. Prediction models for good neurological outcome (CPC1-2) at 180 days post-CA were constructed at hour 1, 12, 24 and 48 after CCU admission. Following multiple imputation, variables were selected using the elastic-net method. Each imputed dataset was divided into training and validation sets (80% and 20% of patients, respectively). Logistic regression was fitted on training sets and prediction performance was evaluated on validation sets using misclassification rates. RESULTS: The prediction model at hour 24 predicted good neurological outcome with the lowest misclassification rate (21.5%), using a cut-off probability of 0.55 (sensitivity = 75%; specificity = 82%). This model contained sex, age, diabetes status, initial rhythm, percutaneous coronary intervention, presence of a BIS 0 value, mean BIS value and lactate as predictive variables for good neurological outcome. DISCUSSION: This study shows that good neurological outcome after OHCA can be reasonably predicted as early as 24 h following ICU admission using parameters that are bedside available. These prediction models could identify patients who would benefit the most from intensive care.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13049-018-0558-2","authors":["Ward Eertmans","Thao Mai Phuong Tran","Cornelia Genbrugge","Laurens Peene","Dieter Mesotten","Jo Dens","Frank Jans","C.

After special training in ECG, nurses in the ED were subsequently delegated to send patients directly to the CCU if showing ST-elevation on the admission ECG without contacting either the physician in ED or the cardiologist on call (intervention). Delay times between hospital admission and admission to the CCU were evaluated during the 9 months prior to and during the 6 months after the start of this intervention. Fifty patients (66% men) participated in the first study during 3 months (prior to intervention). Patients with suspected or confirmed acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the ED had a median delay time from ED arrival to CCU arrival of 55.5 minutes (34.5 minutes for patients with confirmed AMI; ST elevation on admission). Time interval from decision to admit to CCU and ED departure was an average of 31% of the total delay. A mean of 21% of total delay occurred between ED decision to cardiologist arrival, and 19% during the time interval from cardiologist ED arrival until decision to CCU admission. Among patients receiving thrombolysis, the median delay time from hospital admission to CCU admission was reduced from 40 minutes during the 9 months prior to start of the intervention (nurses sending patients directly to the CCU) to 22 minutes during the 6 months thereafter (p = 0.02). The largest proportion of hospital delay components for acute coronary syndrome patients occurred between the cardiologist's decision to admit to the CCU and departure from the ED, and the interval following the decision by the nurse or physician to the cardiologist ED arrival.

The conventional methods for PD-ISPs can be categorized into single-step methods and two-step methods, where the first ones directly reconstruct the image and the second ones retrieve the phase and amplitude of scattered fields, and then reconstruct the image as the traditional FD-ISPs. However, the single-step methods correspond to solve higher nonlinear optimization problems and the two-step methods highly depend on the quality of the retrieved phase and amplitude information. To solve the above issues, we propose a two-step method with a cascaded complex U-net (CCU-net) model to solve the PD-ISPs in the complex domain. The CCU-net consists of two parts, that is, Phase Retrieval Net (PRNet) and Image Reconstruction Net (IRNet), where the PRNet recovers the phase and amplitude of the scattered field from the measured modulus of the total field and the IRNet takes the recovered scattered field as input to reconstruct the image. These two parts can be independently controlled and achieve joint optimization. Thanks to the strong nonlinear representation ability of complex neural networks, the physical relationship between the scattered fields and the images can be reserved and constructed. Several representative tests including both the synthetic and experimental examples verify that the proposed CCU-net in the complex domain has good robustness, generalization ability, and strong inversion capability when tackling high contrast scatterers and can also fulfill one-step implementation in real time.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/tap.2021.3102032","authors":["Feixiang Luo","Jun Wang","Jie Zeng","Lu Zhang","Boyu Zhang","Kuiwen Xu","Xiling Luo"],"tags":["Robustness (evolution)","Nonlinear system","Computer science","Inverse problem","Algorithm"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-08-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1109/tap.2021.3102032","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W2045748400","name":"Sequence fossils, triplet expansion, and reconstruction of earliest codons","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0378-1119(97)00479-4","authors":["E.

An Analysis of Noise in a Cardiac Care Unit","source":"openalex","abstract":"UNLABELLED: Introduction Hospitals are meant to be places for respite and healing; however, technological advances and reliance on monitoring alarms has led to the environment becoming increasingly noisy. The coronary care unit (CCU), like the emergency department, provides care to ill patients while being vulnerable to noise pollution. The World Health Organization (WHO; Geneva, Switzerland) recommends that for optimum rest and healing, sound levels should average approximately 30 decibels (dB) with maximum readings less than 40 dB. Problem The purpose of this study was to measure and analyze sound levels in three different locations in the CCU, and to review alarm reports in relation to sound levels. METHODS: Over a one-month period, sound recorders (Extech SDL600; Extech Instruments; Nashua, New Hampshire USA) were placed in three separate locations in the CCU at the West Roxbury Veterans' Administration (VA) Hospital (Roxbury, Massachusetts USA). Sound samples were recorded once per second, stored in Comma Separated Values format for Excel (Microsoft Corporation; Redmond, Washington USA), and then exported to Microsoft Excel. Averages were determined, plotted per hour, and alarm histories were reviewed to determine alarm noise effect on total noise for each location, as well as common alarm occurrences. RESULTS: Patient Room 1 consistently had the lowest average recordings, though all averages were >40 dB, despite decreases between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am. During daytime hours, recordings maintained levels >50 dB. Overnight noise remained above recommended levels 55.25% of the period in Patient Room 1 and 99.61% of the same time period in Patient Room 7. The nurses' station remained the loudest location of all three. Alarms per hour ranged from 20-26 during the day. Alarms per day averaged: Patient Room 1-57.17, Patient Room 7-122.03, and the nurses' station - 562.26. Oxygen saturation alarms accounted for 33.59% of activity, and heart-related (including ST segment and pacemaker) accounted for 49.24% of alarms. CONCLUSION: The CCU cares for ill patients requiring constant monitoring. Despite advances in technology, measured noise levels for the hospital studied exceeded WHO standards of 40 dB and peaks of 45 dB, even during night hours when patients require rest. Further work is required to reduce noise levels and examine effects on patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes, and length of stay.

Discrepancies between physiological and chronological age are explained by frailty. However, the relationship between frailty and in-hospital complications is not clear. METHODS: Assessment of frailty in patients was carried out using the FRAIL scale. In-hospital complications assessed included, bleeding, infection, arrhythmia, acute kidney injury (AKI), delirium, stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA), liver injury, hypoglycemia, length of stay in the cardiac care unit (CCU). RESULTS: < 0.001). Infections, pneumonia/LRTI, antibiotic therapy during hospitalization, the incidence of AF and liver injury were more often in patients with pre-frailty compared to the robust group. After adjustment for potential confounders, frailty remained independently associated with an increased risk of infection (OR: 3.3 [1.6-7.0]), including pneumonia/LRTI (OR: 2.5 [1.1-5.8]) and UTI (OR: 4.8 [1.8-12.5]).

The multicast capacity is limited by the user with the worst channel condition. To overcome this limitation, we exploit the fine granularity scalability (FGS) video coding which divides multicast data into base layer and enhancement layer data. Then we develop an optimal subcarrier allocation that maximizes the enhancement layer throughput while satisfying the requirement for the base layer by employing linear programming (LP). For a simple subcarrier allocation we present the suitability-based subcarrier allocation (SSA) algorithm which allocates the subcarriers having a higher metric value to the base layer. The SSA algorithm turns out to be equivalent to the optimal solution of LP problem and is easily modifiable for application to practical OFDM systems. In addition, we present the channel condition-based user selection (CCUS) algorithm which selects a proper set of users to serve when the requirement cannot be met. Numerical results reveal that the SSA algorithm achieves the optimal performance in terms of average spectral efficiency and the CCUS algorithm combined with the SSA algorithm significantly improves the performance over the original SSA algorithm.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/vetecf.2007.370","authors":["Seoshin Kwack","Hanbyeol Seo","Byeong Gi Lee"],"tags":["Subcarrier","Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing","Multicast","Computer science","Wireless"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2007-09-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1109/vetecf.2007.370","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.228Z"},{"id":"oa:W1988884407","name":"The Academic Medical Center Linear Disability Score for evaluation of physical reserve on admission to the ICU: can we query the relatives?","source":"openalex","abstract":"INTRODUCTION: Evaluating the pre-morbid functional status in critically ill patients is important and frequently done using the physical component score (PCS) of the Short Form 36, although this approach has its limitations. The Academic Medical Center Linear Disability Score (ALDS) is a recently developed generic item bank used to measure the disability status of patients with a broad range of diseases. We aimed to study whether proxy scoring with the ALDS could be used to assess the patients' functional status on admission for cardiac care unit (CCU) or ICU patients and how the ALDS relates to the PCS using the Short Form 12 (SF-12). METHODS: Patients and proxies completed the ALDS and SF-12 score in the first 72 hours following ICU scheduled surgery (n = 14), ICU emergency admission (n = 56) and CCU emergency admission (n = 70). RESULTS: In all patients (n = 140) a significant intra-class correlation was found for the ALDS (0.857), the PCS (0.798) and the mental component score (0.679) between patients and their proxy. In both scheduled and emergency admissions, a significant correlation was found between patients and their proxy for the ALDS, although the lowest correlation was found for the ICU scheduled admissions (0.755) compared with the ICU emergency admissions (0.889). In CCU patients, the highest significant correlation between patients and proxies was found for the ALDS (0.855), for the PCS (0.807) and for the mental component score (0.740). CONCLUSIONS: Relatives in close contact with critically ill patients can adequately reflect the patient's level of disability on ICU and CCU admission when using the ALDS item bank, which performed at least as well as the PCS. The ALDS could therefore be a useful alternative for the PCS of the SF-12.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/cc10447","authors":["José G.M. Hofhuis","Marcel G. W. Dijkgraaf","Aly Hovingh","Richard L.

Data from more than 1,000 coronary occlusions are reviewed in this presentation. Intracoronary interventions during acute myocardial infarction (MI) and elective PTCA create a potentially unstable coronary nidus through their therapeutic effect. Angiographic evidence of the anatomic appearance remains the \"gold standard\" for real-time assessment of success although angiography has limited ability to identify the 2-4% of patients who suffer morbidity or mortality in the coronary care unit (CCU) after an apparently successful intervention.

All captured CO 2 in excess of that needed for EOR is sequestered in saline formations at the same geographic locations as the oil reservoirs but at a different depth. We analyze the extraction of oil from the same set of ten reservoirs within 20- and five-year time frames to describe how the scale of the carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) network changes to meet the rate of CO 2 demand for oil recovery. Our analysis shows that there is a negative system-wide net present value (NPV) for all modeled scenarios. The system comes close to breakeven economics when capturing CO 2 from three coal-fired power plants to produce oil via CO 2 -EOR over 20 years and assuming no CO 2 emissions penalty. The NPV drops when we consider a larger network to produce oil more quickly (21 coal-fired generators with CO 2 capture to produce 80% of the oil within five years). Upon applying a CO 2 emissions penalty of 60$2009/tCO 2 to fossil fuel emissions to ensure that coal-fired power plants with CO 2 capture remain in baseload operation, the system economics drop significantly. We show near profitability for the cash flow of the EOR operations only; however, this situation requires relatively cheap electricity prices during operation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1011598","authors":["King, Carey W","Gülen, Gürcan","Cohen, Stuart M","Nuñez-Lopez, Vanessa"],"tags":["Environmental Science"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2013","doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.1011598","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.1011600","name":"(a) The oil production for each scenario","source":"datacite","abstract":"Figure 6.

We analyze the extraction of oil from the same set of ten reservoirs within 20- and five-year time frames to describe how the scale of the carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) network changes to meet the rate of CO 2 demand for oil recovery. Our analysis shows that there is a negative system-wide net present value (NPV) for all modeled scenarios. The system comes close to breakeven economics when capturing CO 2 from three coal-fired power plants to produce oil via CO 2 -EOR over 20 years and assuming no CO 2 emissions penalty. The NPV drops when we consider a larger network to produce oil more quickly (21 coal-fired generators with CO 2 capture to produce 80% of the oil within five years). Upon applying a CO 2 emissions penalty of 60$2009/tCO 2 to fossil fuel emissions to ensure that coal-fired power plants with CO 2 capture remain in baseload operation, the system economics drop significantly. We show near profitability for the cash flow of the EOR operations only; however, this situation requires relatively cheap electricity prices during operation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1011606","authors":["King, Carey W","Gülen, Gürcan","Cohen, Stuart M","Nuñez-Lopez, Vanessa"],"tags":["Environmental Science"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2013","doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.1011606","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.1011608.v1","name":"Capital and operating expenditures for each of the ten CO<sub>2</sub>-EOR fields analyzed for the Texas Gulf Coast in $/BBL","source":"datacite","abstract":"Table 2.

Cash flow results for the EOR and saline sequestration components of the CCUS network. Values in millions $2009. If three values are present for each scenario, these represent results assuming the three electricity prices (0.05$ kWh −1 , industrial, and residential). Abstract This letter compares several bounding cases for understanding the economic viability of capturing large quantities of anthropogenic CO 2 from coal-fired power generators within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas electric grid and using it for pure CO 2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the onshore coastal region of Texas along the Gulf of Mexico. All captured CO 2 in excess of that needed for EOR is sequestered in saline formations at the same geographic locations as the oil reservoirs but at a different depth. We analyze the extraction of oil from the same set of ten reservoirs within 20- and five-year time frames to describe how the scale of the carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) network changes to meet the rate of CO 2 demand for oil recovery. Our analysis shows that there is a negative system-wide net present value (NPV) for all modeled scenarios. The system comes close to breakeven economics when capturing CO 2 from three coal-fired power plants to produce oil via CO 2 -EOR over 20 years and assuming no CO 2 emissions penalty. The NPV drops when we consider a larger network to produce oil more quickly (21 coal-fired generators with CO 2 capture to produce 80% of the oil within five years). Upon applying a CO 2 emissions penalty of 60$2009/tCO 2 to fossil fuel emissions to ensure that coal-fired power plants with CO 2 capture remain in baseload operation, the system economics drop significantly.

This thesis focused on better understanding CO2-amine interactions during adsorption, while developing in parallel covalently immobilized polyethylenimine (PEI) adsorbents for CO2 adsorption. In addition, catalyst reusability issues reported in the synthesis of cyclic carbonates (CCs) from CO2 and epoxides using metal-free supported immobilized quaternary ammonium salts are addressed, while developing new organosilicas for the synthesis of CCs. The reaction between CO2 and amine was investigated at the gas-solid interface in an attempt to provide a unified CO2-amine interaction both in adsorption and absorption. A combination of density functional theory calculations and experimental data (FTIR and 13C NMR) showed that the formation of the zwitterion intermediate often reported in the literature is highly unlikely, instead a six-atom centered zwitterion mechanism involving the “assisting” effect of water, amine or other functional groups was found to be more feasible due to its lower activation energy. Moreover, evidence was provided to suggest that under humid conditions, bicarbonate and carbonate are formed from the reaction between water and CO2, and not the widely reported carbamate hydrolysis. With a goal of minimizing the leaching of amines on PEI-impregnated adsorbents, PEI was covalently immobilized on mesoporous aluminosilica using 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane or 3-triethoxysilylpropyl isocyanate as linkers. The resultant materials were found to be more resistant to leaching (in ethanol) and degradation (air at 100 oC) compared to their impregnated counterparts. Further enhancement in oxidation stability was achieved by covalently grafting epoxide-functionalized PEI onto mesoporous aluminosilica. CO2 uptake over amine-containing adsorbents is widely reported to be enhanced in the presence of moisture. However, the same cannot be said for other adsorbents, such as, carbonaceous and zeolite-based materials, and most MOFs. In a soon to be submitted review manuscript, a comprehensive analysis on the role of water on CO2 uptake (equilibrium and kinetics), material structure and regeneration over a wide range of adsorbents is presented. As for CO2-epoxides fixation to cyclic carbonates, a quaternary ammonium salt supported on SBA-15 was used to investigate the observed literature trend between product yield and substrate type with catalyst reuse. Under mild reaction conditions (1.0 MPa CO2, 100 oC and 4 h), 1,2-butylene carbonate was obtained in high yields (&gt; 95%) over 5 cycles as the substrate is easy to activate and the product can be completely removed from the catalyst surface due to its low boiling point. Nonetheless, using styrene oxide led to decrease in yield over reuse cycles, mainly because styrene carbonate crystals were trapped on the catalysts surface (13C MAS NMR and TGA data), thereby blocking access to active sites. By extensively washing all spent catalysts in acetone and using chromatographic grade SiO2 as support material, styrene carbonate was obtained in very good yield (&gt; 93%) over five cycles. Finally, novel quaternary ammonium iodide-based organosilicas, grouped into disordered, ordered and periodic mesoporous organosilicas, were prepared and tested for the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxide to yield cyclic carbonates. Under mild reaction conditions (0.5 MPa CO2, 50 oC and 10 – 15 h) catalysts with the ordered mesoporous organosilicas structure were found to be more active owing to their larger surface area and pore volume, enhancing the accessibility of active sites by epoxides.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20381/ruor-24697","authors":["Kolle, Joel Motaka"],"tags":["CO2 capture","CO2 utlization","CO2-amine reaction","Material development","Reaction insight"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020","doi":"10.20381/ruor-24697","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z"},{"id":"doi:10.34890/566","name":"EDGE Digital Substation – A disruptive automation field project","source":"datacite","abstract":"The constraints associated with most Substation Automation Systems (SAS) architectures used nowadays, can be overcome with a different approach.

The introduction of renewable (low carbon) energy sources and the removal of fossil fuel energy sources creates uncertainty in energy supply and energy security, particularly across seasonal timescales. Many types of energy storage schemes could store large amounts (up to TW) of excess energy for use when demand is high (e.g. Pumped Hydropower, Batteries), however only the geological storage of hydrogen has the capability to sustain energy demand over seasonal timescales, while also decarbonising multiple energy sectors (e.g. heat, transport, power and industry). Currently, to sustain hydrogen production at large scale requires the use of fossil fuels (steam methane reformation, SMR) and to be low carbon, requires carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS). This research explores the potential of coupling hydrogen production from SMR with CCUS, using the produced CO₂ as the cushion gas for the hydrogen storage reservoir. State of the art 1D hydrogen flow experiments coupled with analytical and numerical models are used to characterise how hydrogen and CO₂ mixtures behave in porous media. The results show that the type of cushion gas influences the speed which hydrogen flows through porous rock and that the key mass transport processes in operation are dispersion and matrix diffusion. The results highlight the need for better characterisation of hydrogen properties to understand how hydrogen would behave under subsurface storage conditions. The large-scale deployment of hydrogen as a low carbon energy vector will require further in-situ pilot projects to demonstrate a safety case, appropriate site suitability assessments, supportive policy frameworks and crucially a positive public image.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7488/era/39","authors":["McMahon, Christopher"],"tags":["Cushion gas","Blue hydrogen","Energy storage","Hydrogen"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019","doi":"10.7488/era/39","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z"},{"id":"doi:10.18141/1582053","name":"Linear Model 1 – no Capillary Pressure","source":"datacite","abstract":"Linear Model 1 does not have capillary pressure assigned.

It has been postulated that extending the infusion time over which time-dependent action antibiotics are administered, giving for example a 4-hour infusion rather than an injection over 5 minutes, this may increase efficacy whilst not compromising safety in critically ill septic patients. However, no single study or meta-analysis of similar studies has yet shown any significant benefit in patient orientated outcomes. Even so anecdotal evidence suggests that this practice is becoming established in the critical care environment but the extent of this in the United Kingdom (UK) has never been assessed. Method A questionnaire was developed to identify current intravenous antibiotic administration practice and the factors influencing choice in UK critical care units (CCUs). This was circulated to critical care pharmacists via the United Kingdom Clinical Pharmacy Association message board. Along side this a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to up date the evidence base. Results 17 of the 22 antibiotics surveyed have a single method of administration used on more than 50% of the responding UK CCUs. Piperacillin/tazobactam and meropenem are used on 22.2% and 20.3% respectively of responding CCUs as extended intermittent infusions (EIIs) and vancomycin by continuous infusion (CI) on 49.2%. Respondents most commonly sited both favourable pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics and an improvement in patient outcomes as reasons for adopting extended infusions. In addition, continuous infusions of vancomycin are seen to be a safer and a more predictable method of administration than intermittent infusions. Where extended infusions were in use, this practise was associated with a high level of pharmacist input into the multi-professional team such as seven-day ward cover. The systematic review identified 40 randomised controlled trials comparing extended infusions to the licensed administration practice of the same antibiotic covering in total 16 different antibiotics. Statistically significant differences in clinical cure and microbiological/bacteriological cure were found in favour of extended infusion methods. A statistically significant difference in mortality was observed when time-dependent antibiotics were analysed separately. No difference in adverse events was identified between the administration methods. Conclusion Current UK critical care practice of intravenous antibiotic administration is in 17 line with the evidence base. This meta-analysis shows that extended infusions are both safe and at least as effective as standard licensed administration methods.","url":"https://doi.org/10.24377/ljmu.t.00011543","authors":["Barton, G"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019","doi":"10.24377/ljmu.t.00011543","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z"},{"id":"doi:10.18141/1558920","name":"SECARB Project Overview Book","source":"datacite","abstract":"In 2003, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) issued awards initiating seven Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP) spanning the United States and portions of Canada.

A number of possible CCU products are evaluated according to metrics such as the energy demand, the technology readiness level and the market size. Six scenarios were proposed and evaluated in this report, in order to illustrate of the options available for the reference CEMCAP cement plant. 1) CCS1: CO2 capture from a cement plant in Belgium and injection in a saline aquifer in the Dutch continental shelf is estimated to cost 114 €/ton CO2 avoided. 2) CCS2: CO2 capture from a cement plant in costal Germany and injection in a saline aquifer in the Norwegian continental shelf is estimated to cost 153 €/ton CO2 avoided. The difference between these two scenarios show the impact of the transportation mode and the distance between source and sink on the CO2 cost. 3) CCS3: mineralization to MgCO3 is expected to between 150 and 400 €/ton CO2 avoided. The process efficiency, the transportation of rock and MgCO3, as well as the heat demand, play an important role in the final cost. Further process developments and an optimized chain can bring the costs significantly down; 4) CCS1+U1: blue ethanol production using 3,1% of the emitted CO2 requires 50 MW excess renewable power. The remaining fraction of the captured CO2 (86,9%) is sequestered using CCS1. The total CCUS cost is 111 €/ton of CO2 avoided (3% reduction as compared to CCS1) when blue ethanol replaces green ethanol from sugarcane. In case of replacement of green ethanol from wheat, the cost drops to 96 €/ton of CO2 avoided (16% reduction as compared to CCS1). 5) CCS1+U2: by using 7,5% of the emitted CO2, 288 kt/y of blue polyol are produced. 82,5% of the CO2 is stored via CCS1. This configuration may lead to a positive business case, depending on the spread between the polyol market price and that of propylene oxide. If both prices are set as 1400 €/ton (zero spread), the CCUS chain leads to a profit of 18 €/ton CO2 captured. 6) CCS1+U3: purifying 6,5% of the emitted CO2 to food-grade (blue CO2) and placing it in the food market lowers the integrated CCUS cost as long blue CO2 replaces fossil-derived CO2: in that case, the cost drops to 108 €/ton CO2 captured. If green CO2 is available (e.g. from fermentation), the CCUS option actually leads to a higher cost than CCS1: 120 €/ton CO2 avoided. Polyol and ethanol are representative of other CO2 utilization routes, and the overall conclusions derived for these processes can be extended to high value specialties and fuels, respectively. CO2 utilization should always be considered in combination with storage. The fraction of the CO2 that is utilized in a full scale CCUS implementation in a cement plant is expected to be lower than 10%. High added-values products may lead to positive business cases.

A number of possible CCU products are evaluated according to metrics such as the energy demand, the technology readiness level and the market size. Six scenarios were proposed and evaluated in this report, in order to illustrate of the options available for the reference CEMCAP cement plant. 1) CCS1: CO2 capture from a cement plant in Belgium and injection in a saline aquifer in the Dutch continental shelf is estimated to cost 114 €/ton CO2 avoided. 2) CCS2: CO2 capture from a cement plant in costal Germany and injection in a saline aquifer in the Norwegian continental shelf is estimated to cost 153 €/ton CO2 avoided. The difference between these two scenarios show the impact of the transportation mode and the distance between source and sink on the CO2 cost. 3) CCS3: mineralization to MgCO3 is expected to between 150 and 400 €/ton CO2 avoided. The process efficiency, the transportation of rock and MgCO3, as well as the heat demand, play an important role in the final cost. Further process developments and an optimized chain can bring the costs significantly down; 4) CCS1+U1: blue ethanol production using 3,1% of the emitted CO2 requires 50 MW excess renewable power. The remaining fraction of the captured CO2 (86,9%) is sequestered using CCS1. The total CCUS cost is 111 €/ton of CO2 avoided (3% reduction as compared to CCS1) when blue ethanol replaces green ethanol from sugarcane. In case of replacement of green ethanol from wheat, the cost drops to 96 €/ton of CO2 avoided (16% reduction as compared to CCS1). 5) CCS1+U2: by using 7,5% of the emitted CO2, 288 kt/y of blue polyol are produced. 82,5% of the CO2 is stored via CCS1. This configuration may lead to a positive business case, depending on the spread between the polyol market price and that of propylene oxide. If both prices are set as 1400 €/ton (zero spread), the CCUS chain leads to a profit of 18 €/ton CO2 captured. 6) CCS1+U3: purifying 6,5% of the emitted CO2 to food-grade (blue CO2) and placing it in the food market lowers the integrated CCUS cost as long blue CO2 replaces fossil-derived CO2: in that case, the cost drops to 108 €/ton CO2 captured. If green CO2 is available (e.g. from fermentation), the CCUS option actually leads to a higher cost than CCS1: 120 €/ton CO2 avoided. Polyol and ethanol are representative of other CO2 utilization routes, and the overall conclusions derived for these processes can be extended to high value specialties and fuels, respectively. CO2 utilization should always be considered in combination with storage. The fraction of the CO2 that is utilized in a full scale CCUS implementation in a cement plant is expected to be lower than 10%. High added-values products may lead to positive business cases. However. the number of cement plants that could benefit from this option will be strongly limited by the product’s market. The utilization of CO2 to replace CO2 intensive raw materials or products (e.g. ethanol from wheat or propylene oxide) lead to improved costs when the basis of calculation is CO2 avoided. LCA should be conducted for the different technological routes, in order to take this important factor into consideration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2597055","authors":["Monteiro, Juliana Garcia Moretz-Sohn","Goetheer, Earl","Schols, Erin","van Os, Peter","Calvo, José Francisco Pérez","Hoppe, Helmut","Bharadwaj, Hariharan Subrahmaniam","Roussanaly, Simon","Khakharia, Purvil","Feenstra, Maartje","de Jong, Ardjan"],"tags":["Post-capture CO2 management","CO2 utilization in cement industry","CO2 sequestration"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.2597055","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.2583549","name":"PREDICTING CLASS-IMBALANCED BUSINESS RISK USING RESAMPLING, REGULARIZATION, AND MODEL EMSEMBLING ALGORITHMS","source":"datacite","abstract":"We aim at developing and improving the imbalanced business risk modeling via jointly using proper evaluation criteria, resampling, cross-validation, classifier regularization, and ensembling techniques.

All captured CO2 in excess of that needed for EOR is sequestered in saline formations at the same geographic locations as the oil reservoirs but at a different depth. We analyze the extraction of oil from the same set of ten reservoirs within 20- and five-year time frames to describe how the scale of the carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) network changes to meet the rate of CO2 demand for oil recovery. Our analysis shows that there is a negative system-wide net present value (NPV) for all modeled scenarios. The system comes close to breakeven economics when capturing CO2 from three coal-fired power plants to produce oil via CO2-EOR over 20 years and assuming no CO2 emissions penalty. The NPV drops when we consider a larger network to produce oil more quickly (21 coal-fired generators with CO2 capture to produce 80% of the oil within five years). Upon applying a CO2 emissions penalty of 60$2009/tCO2 to fossil fuel emissions to ensure that coal-fired power plants with CO2 capture remain in baseload operation, the system economics drop significantly. We show near profitability for the cash flow of the EOR operations only; however, this situation requires relatively cheap electricity prices during operation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5446/39468","authors":["King, Carey W.","Gülen, Gürcan","Cohen, Stuart M.","Nuñez-Lopez, Vanessa"],"tags":["Physics"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2013","doi":"10.5446/39468","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.229Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.2531157","name":"TO ESTIMATE THE INCIDENCE AND TO IDENTIFY THE PREDICTORS OF POTENTIAL DRUG-DRUG INTERACTIONS IN PATIENTS ADMITTED TO CRITICAL CARE UNITS OF A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL AT JSS, MYSURU","source":"datacite","abstract":"Background: Drug interactions are estimated to occur between 3% and 5% in patients to whom few drugs are prescribed and 20% among those who use 10 to 20 drugs simultaneously.

In this investigation, a metallocene‐based molecule, cobalt (III) dichlorophene hexafluorophosphate (CcPF6), is employed for perovskite surface passivation. To maximize its efficacy, the molecule is dissolved in a mixed solvent of acetonitrile and chlorobenzene, leading to the reconstruction of the perovskite surface and effective passivation of surface defects. This modification strategy substantially enhances the overall efficiency of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells by mitigating the issue of low fill factor resulting from non‐uniform coating of the top perovskite layer on the textured silicon bottom cell. Leveraging a double‐sided textured silicon heterojunction (HJT) bottom cell, a certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 30.43% for a monolithic perovskite/silicon TSC (1.00 cm2) is achieved, featuring an open‐circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.93 V and a fill factor (FF) of 78.43%.

At the same time, the extent of (future) residual emissions and their distribution between economic sectors and activities has so far received little attention from a social science perspective. This constitutes a research gap as the distribution of residual emissions and corresponding amounts of required CDR is likely to become highly contested in the political economy of low-carbon transformation. Here, we investigate what function CDR performs from the perspective of sectors considered to account for a large proportion of future residual emissions (cement, steel, chemicals, and aviation) as well as the oil and gas industry in the EU. We also explore whether they claim residual emissions to be compensated for outside of the sector, whether they quantify these claims and how they justify them. Relying on interpretative and qualitative analysis, we use decarbonization or net zero roadmaps published by the major sector-level European trade associations as well as their statements and public consultation submissions in reaction to policy initiatives by the EU to mobilize CDR. Our findings indicate that while CDR technologies perform an important abstract function for reaching net zero in the roadmaps, the extent of residual emissions and responsibilities for delivering corresponding levels of negative emissions remain largely unspecified. This risks eliding pending distributional conflicts over residual emissions which may intersect with conflicts over diverging technological transition pathways advocated by the associations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fclim.2023.1268736","authors":["Alina Brad","Tobias Haas","Etienne Schneider"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Residual","Distribution (mathematics)","Aviation","Residual oil"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fclim.2023.1268736","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W7128380966","name":"Potential of Physical Activated Carbon Derived from Pyrolyzed Waste Coffee Grounds as an Adsorbent for Dye Removal","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract This study investigates the adsorption performance of activated carbon prepared from spent coffee grounds (SCG) through pyrolysis and subsequent CO₂-assisted physical activation for the removal of Methylene Blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions. SCG was pyrolyzed at 400 °C, 500 °C, and 600 °C, and the resulting biochars were activated at 900 °C under CO₂ flow. The obtained materials were characterized using FTIR, SEM, BET, and elemental analyses to evaluate structural, morphological, and chemical properties. Among the samples, the activated carbon derived from 600 °C pyrolysis exhibited the highest surface area (44.59 m 2 /g) and was selected for detailed adsorption studies. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of pH (4–9), adsorbent dosage (2.5–15 g/L), initial dye concentration (15–50 mg/L), temperature (10–40 °C), and contact time (0–120 min) on MB removal efficiency. The maximum removal efficiency (99.15%) was obtained at 15 g/L and 45 min, while comparable performance (> 98.9%) was achieved even at lower dosages, indicating high adsorption capacity and economic feasibility. Kinetic analysis revealed that the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model (R 2 > 0.94). The Freundlich isotherm (R 2 = 0.9924) provided the best fit, indicating multilayer adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces. These findings demonstrate that SCG-derived activated carbon is an effective, sustainable, and low-cost adsorbent with strong potential for dye removal and wastewater purification. The study also highlights the environmental value of coffee waste valorization within a circular economy framework, contributing to resource recovery and sustainable material development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11270-026-09235-4","authors":["Miraç Nur Ciner","Emine Elmaslar Özbaş","Huseyin Kurtuluş Ozcan","Atakan Öngen"],"tags":["Adsorption","Activated carbon","Pyrolysis","Freundlich equation","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11270-026-09235-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W4295845793","name":"Research on the Impact of Output Adjustment Strategy and Carbon Tax Policy on the Stability of the Steel Market","source":"openalex","abstract":"China’s steel industry has not yet implemented a carbon tax policy, and its benefits and impacts are still in the theoretical research stage.

Therefore, this research constructs a repeated dynamic game model including carbon tax policy and other mixed reduction policies, and studies the stability and related indicators of the market. The results are as follows: (1) the output adjustment policies that enterprises can implement will show an increasing trend under the single carbon tax policy. (2) The output adjustment policies that enterprises with larger output will also show an increasing trend under the mixed emission reduction policy when emission reduction targets continue to increase. (3) Smaller-output enterprises need to be more cautious in formulating their production plans, and their output adjustment policies will be restricted and affected by more factors.

Electrochemical nitrate reduction (NO3RR) has emerged as a promising alternative, benefiting from the relatively low N=O bond dissociation energy and the high solubility of nitrate ions in aqueous media. This approach not only enables ammonia production under ambient conditions but also provides a sustainable pathway for nitrate wastewater remediation, thereby addressing two pressing global challenges simultaneously. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of recent advances in NO3RR catalyst development, with particular emphasis on two major classes: nanocrystalline catalysts and atomically dispersed catalysts. Nanocrystalline systems leverage tunable parameters such as crystal facet exposure, lattice strain, defect density, and heteroatom doping to regulate adsorption energies, enhance intermediate activation, and reconcile competing reaction pathways. Atomically dispersed catalysts—including single-atom, dual-atom, and sub-nanometer cluster architectures—achieve nearly complete atomic utilization while offering precisely defined active sites that serve as model platforms for probing structure–activity relationships. Together, these two categories represent complementary strategies: nanocrystals emphasize mesoscale control of morphology and electronic structure, whereas atomic-level catalysts advance the frontier of precision design and mechanistic understanding. We highlight the critical role of in situ and operando characterization in capturing dynamic transformations. Finally, this review discusses the challenges and opportunities that remain for translating these fundamental advances into scalable, efficient, and sustainable electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.53941/echem.2025.100002","authors":["Zhiyi Sun","Ziteng Zhang","Zihao Wei","Zhuo Chen","Qi Sun","Ziheng Zhan","Xuecong Li","Aoxue Huang","Shenghua Li","Wenxing Chen","Siping Pang"],"tags":["Materials science","Catalysis","Ammonia borane","Nanotechnology","Nanocrystalline material"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.53941/echem.2025.100002","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W7160856700","name":"Combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the (benzoimidazol-2-yl)-methanone ligand and its Ru(III) complex: structural elucidation, stability determination, corrosion inhibition, energy storage and bioactivity applications","source":"openalex","abstract":"Bis-(6-nitro-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-methanone (NBM) ligand and its NBM-Ru complex act as corrosion inhibitors were synthesized and characterized utilizing various analytical, spectroscopic and physicochemical tools.

DFT calculations were applied to confirm the structure and reactivity of the investigated compounds as corrosion inhibitors. The NBM ligand and its ruthenium-bound derivative served as eco-conscious corrosion inhibitors, strategically slowing copper degradation through sustainable chemistry principles. For the corrosion testing phase, concentrated sulfuric acid solution (1 M) served as the primary aggressive environment. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Tafel polarization techniques were employed to examine the corrosion resistance characteristics and suppression efficiency of NBM and its ruthenium-containing derivative within the acidic electrolyte under investigation. Our investigation explored how copper corrosion unfolds within acidic environments, specifically examining how the presence or absence of additives alters this chemical degradation process. “The experimental results reveal a compelling inverse relationship: as additive concentration increases, corrosion inhibition strengthens while the corrosive current density (Icorr) measurably diminishes.

The country experiences increasing extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and pressures on energy systems—particularly in remote northern regions. In Newfoundland and Labrador, isolated communities are vulnerable because reliance on diesel-based electricity increases greenhouse gas emissions, energy costs, and environmental risks, highlighting the need for resilient energy solutions. This study uses a systematic methodology combining literature review, local energy demand data, and site-specific wind resources to design and optimize hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs) for Makkovik. It employs HOMER Pro and the Monte Carlo method to evaluate uncertainties in cost, fuel consumption, and renewable fraction. The objectives are to quantify how renewable integration can reduce emissions, improve energy reliability, and support sustainable development in remote communities. The novelty lies in combining location-specific modeling with probabilistic Monte Carlo analysis and providing robust, system-level insights into environmental and economic outcomes while guiding climate-resilient energy planning. The proposed HRES significantly mitigates climate change impacts, reducing annual CO2 emissions from 72,500 kg/year to 15,190 kg/year. Monte Carlo analysis indicates economic feasibility with a net present cost of $14.5 million, a levelized cost of electricity of 0.256 $/kWh, and diesel consumption reduced from 29,970 L/year to 5854 L/year. Wind energy provides 99.6% of total annual electricity, ensuring a high renewable fraction and reliable power, enhancing energy resilience and adaptation potential.

This study evaluates the feasibility, operability, and performance of sustained CO2 flow between an injector and a producer at the Canadian Aquistore site, a location with active CO2 injection and an established geological model. A high-resolution sector model, derived from a history-matched parent simulation, was used to conduct a comprehensive uncertainty analysis targeting key operational and subsurface variables, including injection and production rates, downhole pressures, completion configurations and near-wellbore effects. All simulation scenarios retained identical initial and boundary conditions to isolate the impact of each variable on system behavior. Performance metrics, including flow rates, pressure gradients, brine inflow, and CO2 retention, were analyzed to evaluate CO2 circulation efficiency. Simulation results reveal several critical findings. Elevated injection rates expanded the CO2 plume, while bottomhole pressure at the producer controlled brine ingress from the regional aquifer. Once the CO2 plume was fully developed, producer parameters emerged as dominant control factors. Completion designs at both wells proved vital in maximizing CO2 recovery and suppressing liquid loading. Permeability variations showed limited influence, likely due to sand-dominated continuity and established plume connectivity at Aquistore. Visualizations of water saturation and CO2 plume geometry underscore the need for constraint optimization to reduce fluid mixing and stabilize CO2-rich zones. The study suggests that CO2 trapped during circulation contributes meaningfully to permanent storage, offering dual environmental and energy benefits. The results emphasize the importance of not underestimating subsurface complexity when CO2 circulation is expected to occur under realistic operating conditions. This understanding paves the way to guide future pilot tests, operational planning, and risk mitigation strategies in CCS-enabled geothermal systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18226031","authors":["Alireza Rangriz Shokri","Rick Chalaturnyk"],"tags":["Petroleum engineering","Plume","Geothermal gradient","Environmental science","Injector"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18226031","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W4289869030","name":"Sulfur‐Decorated Ni−N−C Catalyst for Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction with Near 100 % CO Selectivity","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Developing highly efficient electrocatalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) to value‐added products is important for CO2 conversion and utilization technologies.

The most important component of environmental sustainability is undoubtedly technology and innovation. This study examines the effects of clean energy consumption, green innovation, and technological diffusion on environmental sustainability from 1990 to 2018 in selected European Union countries. This relationship has been frequently examined in the literature within the framework of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis. The number of studies examining it within the load capacity curve (LCC) hypothesis framework is negligible. This study aims to fill the gap in the literature in the context of examining the relationship within the framework of the LCC hypothesis. For this purpose, Westerlund's (2008) panel cointegration test was applied, and cointegration was determined in the LCC model. Three different long‐term estimators, namely rCCE, DCCE, and AMG, were used to test the validity of the hypothesis. Although the results obtained for the entire panel say that the LCC hypothesis is not valid, evidence for the existence of the hypothesis has been identified in the country‐based results. Accordingly, the LCC hypothesis is valid for Denmark, France, Portugal, and Spain. Overall, green innovation and technological diffusion are essential to encourage the spread of environmentally friendly practices and to leave a more livable world for future generations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.2794","authors":["Mücahit Aydın","Tunahan Değirmenci"],"tags":["Kuznets curve","Sustainability","Cointegration","Context (archaeology)","Economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-10-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.2794","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W7134278477","name":"Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) nanomaterials for foliar applications and soil–water remediation in agriculture: a review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Multidimensional g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets introduce a transformative approach in agriculture, maintaining environmental sustainability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5en00446b","authors":["Rajasekaran Jayasoorya","Thangavel Pradeesh Kumar","Selvaraj Mohana Roopan"],"tags":["Graphitic carbon nitride","Nanomaterials","Environmental remediation","Materials science","Nanotechnology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5en00446b","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W4386189163","name":"Molecular Structure and Properties of Sulfur‐Containing High Refractive Index Polymer Optical Materials","source":"openalex","abstract":"High refractive index polymers (HRIPs) are widely used in lenses, waveguide, antireflective layer and encapsulators, especially the advanced fields of augmented/virtual reality (AR / VR) holographic technology and photoresist for chip manufacturing.

They can also serve as alternatives to traditional polymer binders (e.g., MXenes), highlighting the importance of interfacial mechanics between 2DM and active materials. During charge/discharge cycles, intercalation and deintercalation processes substantially affect the mechanical behavior of 2DM used as binders, collectors, or electrodes. For example, porous graphene networks have demonstrated capacities up to five times greater than traditional graphite anodes. However, modeling 2DM in EESS remains challenging due to the complex coupling between electrochemistry and mechanics. Defective graphene, for instance, promotes strong adatom adsorption (e.g., Li⁺), which can hinder desorption during discharge, thereby influencing mechanical properties.

The resulting synthesis gas (‘syngas’) produced by UCG can be used directly as a fuel-gas or deep-cleaned to produce many other products like chemicals, liquid fuels, hydrogen and synthetic natural gas. UCG has significant environmental, safety and practical advantages over conventional coal mining and utilization, foremost being cost and emissions reductions. In South Africa, facilities of an industrial-scale Fischer–Tropsch (FT) have been operating for decades on coal-to-liquid and gas-to-liquid conversion. Oxygen-blown UCG produces syngas, which contains a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen, and these molecules can be conditioned to serve as feed for synthetic-crude-oil (‘syncrude’) conversion technologies based on the FT process. African Carbon Energy (Pty) Ltd. (Africary) completed a study integrating its UCG technology with mini gas-to-liquids plant. Syngas from Africary’s Theunissen Underground Coal Gasification (TUCG) project will be used for power production and synthesis of liquid fuels in a unique poly-generation configuration. The TUCG process will consist of two parallel gasifiers, operated on different agents, making the component parts of UCG and coal-to-(any product) (CtX) tightly linked and interdependent, but reducing both cost and emissions. UCG-CtX offers a lower capital investment to conventional underground mining and surface gasification due to the removal of the surface gasifier and coal-mine operations. The gas clean-up systems will remove undesirable components from each gasifier and blend the cleaned syngas for H2:CO ratio control and provide implementation of carbon capture and sequestration. This study has minimized the complexity and optimized the process flow to provide own-use electricity and about 4000 barrels/day equivalent fuels at a capital cost estimate (2017) of about US$ 350 million and operating cost of around 28 US$/barrel.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ce/zky023","authors":["J.F.

An integrated evaluation methodology was developed, incorporating CO 2 caprock pressure breakthrough tests, CO 2 –water–rock interaction experiments, and CO 2 storage simulation experiments to assess the suitability of depleted tight sandstone reservoirs for CO 2 sequestration. Key findings include: (1) The minimum caprock breakthrough pressure was determined to be 30 MPa, confirming sufficient sealing capacity; however, horizontal breakthrough risks were found to exceed vertical ones. (2) Dissolution of minerals (calcite, chlorite, and illite) was observed, whereas the caprock pressure‐bearing limit remained unchanged at 30 MPa; minor increases in reservoir porosity and permeability were also detected. (3) A negative correlation between water saturation and storage efficiency was quantified, indicating that intermittent injection could mitigate pressure buildup and enhance storage capacity. A novel methodology for CO 2 storage capacity estimation has been developed in this study. Application of this approach to the He 8 Member and Majiagou Formation reservoirs in the Sudong Block yields a total estimated CO 2 storage potential of approximately 123.9 million tones.

Net present value (NPV) was used as a key indicator, and sensitivity, scenario, and risk analyses were proposed. The results showed that a high subsidy for by-products contributed to the profitability of by-products plants across multiple contexts.

The performance of this mixed gel as a methanol energy storage carrier was evaluated. The results indicated that the gel points of the mixed gel increased with the increased contents of water and gelling agent. The maximum gel point reach approximately 35 °C, which is beneficial for reducing the requirements for the storage temperature.

The calorific value of the mixed gel containing 10% water is comparable to that of the mixed gel containing 5% gelling agent. Therefore, the scheme of adding water to increase the gel point has a better effect. Additionally, as the content of the gelling agent increased, the three-dimensional network structure formed by the interwoven fibers within the mixed gel became more compact. Meanwhile, the precipitation phenomenon of the gelling agent occurred during the gelation process, resulting in the lower structure of the mixed gel being denser than the upper structure.

The results demonstrate that coal consumption remains the dominant determinant of absolute emissions, whereas the expansion of renewable energy significantly contributes to lowering the carbon intensity of economic growth.

The findings highlight the gradual and sequential character of Poland’s energy transition, where gains in environmental efficiency precede a consistent reduction in total emissions.

At Mariner, the epsilonproteobacterial genus Nautilia and the archaeal family Thermococcaceae were prevalent in most samples, while Lebetimonas and Thermofilaceae were more abundant at the other vent fields. These differences appear to be influenced in part by the unique geochemistry of the Mariner fluids resulting from active degassing of a subsurface magma chamber. These results show that microbial communities associated with hydrothermal vent deposits in back-arc basins are taxonomically similar to those from mid-ocean ridge systems, but differences in geologic processes between vent fields in a back-arc basin can influence microbial community structure.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1472-4669.2012.00325.x","authors":["Gilberto E.

The fidelity of such simulations hinges on accurate representation of key physicochemical processes, particularly gas adsorption, which governs phase partitioning in shale formations. However, adsorption is often treated deterministically in large-scale simulations, while optimization efforts emphasize operational and geological parameters. This minireview summarizes prevailing compositional simulation workflows and key performance metrics for shale and further synthesizes recent advances and gaps in H₂/ CH₄​ competitive adsorption, highlighting the scarcity and experimental difficulty of multicomponent adsorption data. The propagation of adsorption-related uncertainty to large-scale predictions is further discussed. An illustrative scenario demonstrates that different multicomponent adsorption models can significantly alter the predicted fraction of adsorbed H₂ and the recovery factor. The magnitude of these variations can be comparable to or even exceed improvements achieved through typical operational optimizations. Such discrepancies indicate that adsorption representation is not a non-significant modeling input but a central factor influencing evaluation outcomes. These findings underscore the need to explicitly account for competitive adsorption in assessing underground hydrogen storage in shales. Furthermore, adsorption uncertainty should be systematically quantified and integrated into modeling workflows to secure the high-fidelity of compositional modeling underground hydrogen storage in shales.

In this paper a modelling approach is developed, describing the relation between architectures, chemistry and reactor conditions with the general objective of improving characterisation and controlling visco-elastic properties. More specifically, the particular scission kinetics of branched molecules as strongly contrasting with linear scission is described. A new method to synthesise branched architectures is developed as an alternative to full Monte Carlo (MC) sampling. It employs MC sampling for coupling of primary polymers only. Graph theory is used as an efficient storage method containing all topological information of individual molecules. The algorithm synthesises molecules for any given combination of chain length (n) and number of branches (N). The explicit and detailed knowledge of branched architectures allows finding the correct topological scission kinetics. Distributions of fragment lengths and numbers of branches on fragments after scission are obtained, showing a preference for short and long fragments. Approximate functions describing this have been implemented in another model, predicting molecular weight (MWD) and degree of branching (DBD) distributions using a Galerkin finite element method. Topological scission is seen to give MWD broadening and a higher branching density for long chains. Distributions of longest end-to-end distances could be computed for all architectural alternatives for given n, N. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that this method yields distributions of architectures consistent with MWD/DBD for radical polymerisation with long-chain branching and random scission.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/1521-3919(20011101)10:9<855::aid-mats855>3.0.co;2-a","authors":["Piet D.

This report evaluates options for energy arbitrage integrated with existing light water reactor (LWR) nuclear power plants (NPPs) where nuclear energy could be stored in a variety of forms and later recovered to generate electrical power during periods when grid electricity demand and pricing are high. The forms of energy storage examined in this report include the potential value of batteries, hydrogen, and thermal energy storage for coupling with nuclear power. Various large demand response options are also analyzed, including the production of liquid nitrogen via air separation and liquefaction, liquefaction of hydrogen, compressed hydrogen, and the cryogenic capture of CO2. Demand response refers to dispatchable loads that can cycle up or down depending on-grid electricity demand to aid in balancing the grid. Large demand response options could dispatch to aid nuclear power stations in avoiding power turndowns by providing an alternate disposition for electrical energy by producing marketable products (e.g., liquid nitrogen, hydrogen, or captured CO2). Static conditions were chosen and analyzed in this report for each option. Dynamic operation or optimization of energy arbitrage or demand response are out of scope for this report. The analysis is based on storage systems with discharge capacities of 500 MW for which various durations of storage and costs of charging (electricity cost) are examined. While the value of thermal energy to an industrial user for flexible plant operations has been previously proven as a business case, this report evaluates costs of hydrogen energy storage and leading thermal energy storage options, and large demand response loads that could be integrated with LWRs in comparison to utility-scale battery storage for use of off-peak nuclear energy. Compilation of this information will be used by the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) RAVEN/HERON systems integration and economics tool to evaluate thermal energy dispatch to industrial users. Relative ranking of energy storage options was done using a levelized cost of storage (LCOS) metric which calculates a rough breakeven cost for the system, taking into account the capital and operating costs as well as the revenue from arbitrage. Table ES1 below shows the LCOS for each of the energy storage options considered. First, in the table, lithium iron (Fe) phosphate batteries are listed as the base case for comparison against the other options. Next is hydrogen storage where most of the hydrogen analyses assumed the hydrogen to be produced using solid oxide electrolytic cell (SOEC) high temperature steam electrolysis (HTSE). The others used existing models of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) low temperature electrolysis to produce hydrogen. HTSE performance parameters and costs were taken from existing INL models. Various means were assumed to convert the hydrogen to electricity, including PEM fuel cells (FCs) and a gas turbine mixed in a 30 vol% mixture with natural gas. Physical storage (pressure vessels) and geological storage (natural underground features) were used to store the hydrogen as noted. Geological storage is more economical, but the locations are limited because of the requirement for pre-existing geological formations that will support storage. Thermal energy storage (TES) options were also analyzed including electro-thermal energy storage (ETES) and four different liquid sensible heat TES storage media as noted (Hitec, Hitec XL, Therminol-66, and Dowtherm A). The ETES process considered was modified using existing public documentation on an Echogen process and uses a separate supercritical CO2 charge and discharge cycle with sand as the heat storage media.","url":"https://openalex.org/W4200633684","authors":["Todd Knighton"],"tags":["Nuclear power","Arbitrage","Nuclear engineering","Environmental science","Energy (signal processing)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-10-14","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W2791120721","name":"Tackling boundaries of CCS in market deployment of second-generation oxy-fuel technology","source":"openalex","abstract":"This article discusses the market potential estimation results at different stages of second-generation oxy-fuel technology for carbon capture and storage, where oxygen content is increased in order to increase efficiency and product life cycle.

Reducing platinum use is vital for sustainable hydrogen production via proton exchange membrane water electrolysis.

This policy shift fundamentally alters the underlying logic of energy-focused regulation and inevitably impacts the economy–energy–environment (3E) system. This study innovatively constructs a “Triangular Trinity” theoretical framework integrating internal, intermediate, and external triangular couplings, as well as providing a granular analysis of their transmission relationships and feedback mechanisms. Using Guangdong Province as a case study, this study takes the dual control emissions policy within the external triangle as an entry point to research the restructuring logic of dual carbon emissions control for the coupling coordination mechanisms of the 3E system. The key findings are as follows: (1) Policy efficacy evolution: During 2005–2016, dual energy consumption control significantly improved energy conservation and emissions reduction, elevating Guangdong’s 3E coupling coordination. Post 2017, however, its singular focus on total energy consumption revealed limitations, causing a decline in 3E coordination. Dual carbon emissions control demonstrably enhances 3E systemic synergy. (2) Decoupling dynamics: Dual carbon emissions control accelerates economic–carbon emission decoupling, while slowing economic–energy consumption decoupling. This created an elasticity space of 5.092 million tons of standard coal equivalent (sce) and reduced carbon emissions by 26.43 million tons, enabling high-quality economic development. (3) Mechanism reconstruction: By leveraging external triangular elements (energy-saving technologies and market mechanisms) to act on the energy subsystem, dual carbon emissions control leads to optimal solutions to the “Energy Trilemma”. This drives the systematic restructuring of the sustainability triangle, achieving high-order 3E coupling coordination. The Triangular Trinity framework constructed by us in the paper is an innovative attempt in relation to the theory of energy transition, providing a referenceable methodology for resolving the contradictions of the 3E system. The research results can provide theoretical support and practical reference for the low-carbon energy transition of provinces and cities with similar energy structures.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18143735","authors":["Yuan Xu","Wenxiu Wang","Xuwen Yan","Guotian Cai","Liping Chen","Haifeng Cen","Zihan Lin"],"tags":["Restructuring","Dual (grammatical number)","Mechanism (biology)","Coupling (piping)","Control (management)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18143735","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W2063374981","name":"Modeling and Monitoring Terrestrial Primary Production in a Changing Global Environment: Toward a Multiscale Synthesis of Observation and Simulation","source":"openalex","abstract":"There is a critical need to monitor and predict terrestrial primary production, the key indicator of ecosystem functioning, in a changing global environment.

Herein we established a gas chromatography (GC) coupled to MS‐based approach that provides 13C‐positional labelling information in glucose, malate and glutamate (Glu). A map of electron impact (EI)‐mediated MS fragmentation was created and validated by 13C‐positionally labelled references via GC‐EI‐MS and GC‐atmospheric pressure chemical ionization‐MS technologies. The power of the approach was revealed by analysing previous 13C‐MFA data from leaves and guard cells, and 13C‐HCO3 labelling of guard cells harvested in the dark and after the dark‐to‐light transition. We demonstrated that the approach is applicable to established GC‐EI‐MS‐based 13C‐MFA without the need for experimental adjustment, but will benefit in the future from paired analyses by the two GC‐MS platforms. We identified specific glucose carbon atoms that are preferentially labelled by photosynthesis and gluconeogenesis, and provide an approach to investigate the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPc)‐derived 13C‐incorporation into malate and Glu.

These are proposed using hydrothermal conditions—characterized by high temperature and high pressure—to address the challenges of CO2RR. Technology assessment revealed that the additional energy to create hydrothermal conditions doesnot increase the overall energy demand for chemical production, and the CO2 emissions from methanol production through hydrothermal electrochemical CO2RR can be negative with the photovoltaic electricity and waste heat supply. Moreover, These experimentally demonstrated promising improvements in the CO2RR process using hydrothermal conditions and elucidated the specific roles of temperature and pressure in promoting CO2RR. An increase in the process temperature to 150 °C, improves the CO2 diffusion coefficient in water, resulting in the enhancement of current density and the reduction of activation overpotential for CO2RR. On the other hand, the pressurization by CO2 can prevent the decrease in CO2 solubility under high‐temperature conditions, keeping a high selectivity of CO2RR.

Conventional surface water resources are limited, while nonrenewable groundwater sources are depleted. To build a more resilient and sustainable water sector, the production of non-conventional water resources, specifically desalinated seawater and treated domestic wastewater, has steadily increased in recent years. As the country lacks perennial water resources, such as rivers or water bodies, it relies mainly on nonrenewable groundwater and desalinated water to meet its daily requirements. Although the government is attempting to regulate the agricultural sector, water consumption in agriculture remains relatively high. It presents an environmental challenge due to its heavy reliance on non-renewable groundwater resources. The anticipated increase in temperature and highly uncertain changes in the rainfall patterns in Saudi Arabia could lead to greater uncertainty when attempting to develop effective water resource management plans.

Referring to the radical reaction-based inverse vulcanization process, 2 reaction routes are conducted in this work. In the first approach elemental sulfur is directly reacted with CNTs through the addition reaction between sulfur radicals and the C═C bonds of CNT surfaces. The obtained CNT-sulfur nanohybrids possess 23.2 wt % polysulfide segments chemically bonded to the outer surfaces of CNTs. The second route involves 2-step reactions, including the incorporation of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) to CNTs through a surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization followed by an inverse vulcanization reaction between the PGMA-functionalized CNTs and elemental sulfur. 31.3 wt % polysulfide segments are chemically bonded to the PGMA-functionalized CNTs. The CNT-sulfur nanohybrids are subjected to metal ion absorption. The sample from route 2 exhibits an absorption capacity of 16 mg g −1 for Fe 3+, which is several times higher than the values reported for sulfur polymers from inverse vulcanization. The inverse vulcanization-like process provides an effective platform for the synthesis of CNT-sulfur nanohybrids exhibiting high absorption capacity for metal ions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c12163","authors":["Shang-Yu Tsai","Ying-Ling Liu"],"tags":["Polysulfide","Sulfur","Vulcanization","Polymerization","Polymer"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c12163","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402456135","name":"Pathways to Circular Economy for Electric Vehicle Batteries","source":"openalex","abstract":"The global shift towards sustainability is driving the electrification of transportation and the adoption of clean energy storage solutions, moving away from internal combustion engines.

The reversible hydrogenation–dehydrogenation activity and liquid-phase handling benefits of organic hydrogen carriers (OHCs) have made them an attractive method for large-scale hydrogen storage and transfer. As a new approach to increased subsurface hydrogen storage capacity, this study examines the interfacial tension (IFT) and wettability (advancing and receding contact angles) of a hydrogenated OHC (methylcyclohexane, MCH) and a dehydrogenated OHC (toluene) on mica as a proxy caprock in the presence of 1 M NaCl brine at reservoir-relevant temperatures (298–343 K) and pressures (1–20 MPa). The interfacial exchanges and physico-thermal variations are evaluated via total organic carbon (TOC) assessment, atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results highlight the importance of caprock-fluid interactions in controlling the structural trapping and sealing integrity in OHC-based hydrogen storage. At higher temperatures, the effects of increased pressure on the nonwetting behavior and sealing integrity are weaker, which makes leaks more likely. Structural trapping and secure long-term hydrogen containment are made possible by regulated OHC-caprock interactions and interfacial forces, with toluene providing a better candidate than MCH due to its lower IFT and greater nonwetting characteristics. This study provides a deepened knowledge of the interfacial mechanisms governing containment and storage stability, and conclusively demonstrates that integrating OHCs into geological formations with a caprock is an effective and reliable means for storing hydrogen underground in a sustainable manner.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.6c00864","authors":["Narendra Kumar","Muhammad Ali","Mutaz Alsubhi","Zeeshan Tariq","Faisal Alissa","Abdulwahab Ghamdi","Hussein Hoteit"],"tags":["Caprock","Hydrogen","Hydrogen storage","Chemical engineering","Wetting"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.6c00864","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391684890","name":"Review of Advances in Coating and Functionalization of Gold Nanoparticles: From Theory to Biomedical Application","source":"openalex","abstract":"Nanoparticles, especially gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have gained increasing interest in biomedical applications.

Furthermore, the diet plays a key role in a number of complex diseases including obesity and diabetes. The impact of diet and altered genetic backgrounds on human metabolism may be studied by using computational modeling. A metabolic reconstruction of human sIECs was manually assembled using the literature. The resulting sIEC model was subjected to two different diets to obtain condition-specific metabolic models. Fifty defined metabolic tasks evaluated the functionalities of these models, along with the respective secretion profiles, which distinguished between impacts of different dietary regimes. Under the average American diet, the sIEC model resulted in higher secretion flux for metabolites implicated in metabolic syndrome. In addition, enzymopathies were analyzed in the context of the sIEC metabolism. Computed results were compared with reported gastrointestinal (GI) pathologies and biochemical defects as well as with biomarker patterns used in their diagnosis. Based on our simulations, we propose that (i) sIEC metabolism is perturbed by numerous enzymopathies, which can be used to study cellular adaptive mechanisms specific for such disorders, and in the identification of novel co-morbidities, (ii) porphyrias are associated with both heme synthesis and degradation and (iii) disturbed intestinal gamma-aminobutyric acid synthesis may be linked to neurological manifestations of various enzymopathies.

Therefore, it is very important for modified materials to promote thermodynamics and redox kinetics in the entrapping‐conversion process of polysulfides. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that ferric group (Fe, Co, Ni) transition metals not only provide moderate binding contacts with LiPSs but also act as an active catalyst in the spontaneous and sequential lithiation of S8 to Li2S by d‐band energy level splitting, and quick migration of Li ions can be operated on their surface, enhancing the utilization of LiPSs. Experimentally, felicitously‐fabricated ferric group (Fe, Co, Ni) transition metals encapsulated in nitrogen‐doped carbon nanotubes (M@NCNT) electrocatalysts were introduced into Li‐S batteries via separator functionalization. Actually, the experiments demonstrated that the excellent shuttle effect hindering was enabled. Consistent with theoretical predictions, Li‐S batteries with Ni@NCNT modified separators had significantly improved rate capacity and cycling stability. The cells with Ni@NCNT were able to achieve a high initial discharge capacity of 1035 mAh g−1 and a capacity retention rate of 70% at 500 discharges at 1.0 C with a 0.060% capacity decay each cycle, performing considerable cycle‐life with state‐of‐the‐art separators.

Embracing this oxidative paradigm is essential for ecological understanding and architecting a circular economy.

However, large-scale synthesis on the potential of agroforestry across Latin America is lacking. To understand the potential impacts of agroforestry at the continental level, we conducted a meta-analysis examining the effects of agroforestry on biological activity and diversity (BIAD) and multiple EFs across mountain agroecosystems of Latin America. A total of 78 studies were selected based on a formalized literature search in the Web of Science. We analysed differences between (i) silvoarable systems versus cropland, (ii) silvopastoral systems versus pastureland, and (iii) agroforestry versus forest systems, based on response ratios. Response ratios were further used to understand how climate type, precipitation and soil properties (texture) influence key EFs (carbon sequestration, nutrient provision, erosion control, yield production) and BIAD in agroforestry systems. Results revealed that BIAD and EFs related to carbon sequestration and nutrient provisioning were generally higher in agroforestry systems (silvopastoral and silvoarable) compared to croplands and pasturelands without trees. However, the impacts of agroforestry systems on crop yields varied depending on the system considered (i.e., coffee vs. cereals), while forest systems generally provided greater levels of BIAD and EFs than agroforestry systems. Further analysis demonstrated that the impacts of agroforestry systems on BIAD and EFs depend greatly on climate type, soil, and precipitation. For example, silvoarable systems appear to generate the greatest benefits in arid or tropical climates, on sandier soils, and under lower precipitation regimes. Overall, our findings highlight the widespread potential of agroforestry systems to BIAD and multiple EFs across montane regions of Latin America.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17036","authors":["Anna M.

At least 247 GW of wind are seeking transmission interconnection; 77 GW of this capacity are offshore wind and 19 GW are hybrid plants that pair wind with storage or solar PV. Wind project performance has increased over the decades: The average capacity factor among recently built projects was nearly 40%, considerably higher than projects built earlier. The highest capacity factors are seen in the interior ‘wind belt’ of the country. Turbines continue to get larger: Improved plant performance has been driven by larger turbines mounted on taller towers and featuring longer blades. In 2011, no turbines employed blades that were 115 meters in diameter or larger, but in 2021, 89% of newly installed turbines featured such rotors. Proposed projects indicate that total turbine height will continue to rise. Low wind turbine pricing has pushed down installed project costs over the last decade: Wind turbine prices averaged $\\$800$–$\\$950$/kW in 2021, a 5% to 10% increase from the year prior but substantially lower than in 2010. The average installed cost of wind projects in 2021 was $\\$1,500$/kW, down more than 40% since the peak in 2010, though relatively stable in recent years. The lowest costs were found in Texas and the (non-ISO) West. Wind energy prices are on the rise, but generally remain low, around $\\$20$/MWh in the interior of the country with higher prices in the West and East. After topping out above $\\$75$/MWh for power purchase agreements (PPAs) executed in 2009, the national average price of wind PPAs has dropped—though supply-chain pressures have resulted in increased prices in recent years. In the interior ‘wind belt’ of the country, recent pricing is around $\\$20$/MWh. In the West and East, prices tend to average above $\\$30$/MWh. These prices, which are possible in part due to federal tax support, fall below the projected future fuel costs of gas-fired generation. Wind PPA prices are often attractive compared to wind’s grid-system market value: The value of wind in wholesale power markets is affected by the location of wind plants, their hourly output profiles, and how those characteristics correlate with real-time electricity prices and capacity markets. The market value of wind increased in 2021, averaging $\\$16$/MWh in MISO, $\\$19$/MWh in SPP, $\\$23$/MWh in NYISO, $\\$31$/MWh in ERCOT, $\\$33$/MWh in PJM, $\\$44$/MWh in ISO-NE, and $\\$48$/MWh in CAISO. The average levelized cost of wind energy was $\\$32$/MWh for plants built in 2021: Levelized costs, which exclude the impacts of federal tax incentives, vary across time and geography. The national average stood at $\\$32$/MWh in 2021—down substantially historically, though relatively stable in recent years. Levelized costs were lowest in ERCOT, SPP, and the (non-ISO) West. The health and climate benefits of wind in 2021 were larger than its grid-system value, and the combination of all three far exceeds the current levelized cost of wind: Wind generation reduces power-sector emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide. These reductions, in turn, provide public health and climate benefits that vary regionally, but together are economica","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/1882594","authors":["Ryan Wiser","Mark Bolinger","Ben Hoen","Dev Millstein","Joseph Rand","Galen Barbose","Naïm Darghouth","Will Gorman","Seongeun Jeong","B.

The emergence of bio‐based foams is highly appreciated, but the fabrication approaches are economically unattractive and/or the product properties are inferior, making their large‐scale implementation unviable. Herein, a versatile, thermally remoldable phosphate‐containing polyurethane composite foam (LPU‐G) is constructed from natural lignin and expanded graphite flakes via an atmospheric pressure and scalable one‐pot strategy. The optimal LPU‐G exhibits exceptional mechanical strength, capable of supporting over 6000 times its weight without significant deformation. Moreover, the LPU‐G demonstrates the desired multifunctionality in handling extreme circumstances, including humidity‐tolerant thermal insulation, superb water vapor barrier, and withstanding ≈1200 °C flame without ignition. Based on the “expansion‐conductivity” micro‐mechanism, LPU‐G is the first foam material to be constructed as a sensitive fire alarm system with an ultra‐long alarm time (>1800 s). Surprisingly, LPU‐G can be rapidly upcycled into recyclable bulk composites for a second life through simple thermo‐molding processes rooted in the multi‐dynamic behavior of the phosphate, carbamate, and hydrogen bonds. The easy‐to‐scale LPU‐G represents a new generation of thermal insulators that address concerns regarding unsustainability, high cost, fire risk, and inferior mechanical properties.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.202405424","authors":["Lichao Sun","Yujia Guo","Rongxian Ou","Jingwen Xu","Fei Gao","Qingzhi Meng","Sili Chen","Chuigen Guo","Qi Fan","Qingwen Wang"],"tags":["Materials science","Polyurethane","Fire resistance","Lignin","Composite material"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.202405424","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405452971","name":"Environmental and biomedical applications of 2D transition metal borides (MBenes): recent advancements","source":"openalex","abstract":"Recently, interest has surged in the environmental and biomedical applications of two-dimensional transition metal borides, commonly referred to as MBenes. These materials have emerged as promising candidates for energy storage devices, such as batteries and supercapacitors. Additionally, MBenes have shown remarkable catalytic activity due to their high surface area and tunable electronic properties. They exhibit significant promise in various catalytic applications, particularly in nitrogen reduction reactions (NRRs), electrocatalytic conversion of nitrogen oxides, and several electrochemical reactions such as the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Notably, MBenes have shown great potential in water treatment and pollutant removal applications, such as desalination and water purification. Their high water permeability, ion selectivity, and excellent stability make them suitable for efficient water treatment processes. On the other hand, MBenes are emerging as versatile materials with significant potential in various biomedical applications, particularly in biosensing, cancer therapy, and the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. However, several challenges hinder their practical implementation in biomedical and environmental fields. One significant issue is the scalability of synthesis methods; producing MBenes in large quantities while maintaining high purity and uniformity is often complex and costly. Moreover, the stability of MBenes and their composites under different environmental and biological conditions raises concerns, as they may undergo degradation or lose their functional properties over time, which could limit their long-term effectiveness. Additionally, there is a need for comprehensive toxicity assessments to ensure the safety of MBenes in biomedical applications, particularly when interacting with human tissues or biological systems. This review aims to systematically investigate the environmental and biomedical applications of MBenes and their composites, emphasizing their unique characteristics and potential roles in addressing pressing global challenges. Furthermore, the review will identify and discuss the existing challenges and limitations in the operational performance of MBenes and their composites, providing a critical assessment of their current state in various applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d4na00867g","authors":["Siavash Iravani","Atefeh Zarepour","Arezoo Khosravi","Ali Zarrabi"],"tags":["Materials science","Nanotechnology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d4na00867g","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W4416332491","name":"Enhancing soil organic carbon estimation with generative AI and Nix color sensor","source":"openalex","abstract":"Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key indicator of soil health, yet conventional laboratory assays are labor-intensive and costly. This study investigates a rapid and low-cost alternative by using a handheld Nix Spectro 2 Color Sensor, which captured high-resolution color data from air-dried soil samples. These color parameters were used to predict SOC with four data-driven prediction engines: Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Regression (GBR), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and further strengthened them with synthetic data augmentation techniques. A total of 641 surface soil samples collected from six districts in West Bengal, India, were divided into 70% calibration and 30% validation subsets. Synthetic samples were produced using a combination of generative artificial intelligence (AI) techniques [generative adversarial networks (GANs) and Gaussian mixture models (GMM)] and non-parametric/statistical data augmentation methods [k-nearest neighbors (KNN) and bootstrapping] to fill critical gaps in the SOC range (3-14%). Among the baseline models using raw Nix color data, RF achieved the best validation accuracy (R² = 0.71, RMSE = 0.93%). After augmenting the calibration set with 44 GMM-generated samples (3-7% SOC), RF performance rose to R² = 0.77 and RMSE = 0.84%, while bias dropped and coverage across the SOC distribution improved markedly. The incorporation of synthetic data mitigated model bias and enhanced predictive accuracy despite Levene's test revealing significant variance differences between calibration and validation datasets. The enhanced generalization of the model was attributed to better coverage of the SOC distribution, reducing underrepresented gaps in the dataset. The study highlighted the potential of AI-driven soil monitoring techniques in precision agriculture, demonstrating that integrating the Nix color sensor with synthetic data augmentation, provides a rapid and cost-effective solution for on-site soil assessments. Future research should expand these methodologies to multi-parameter soil assessments, digital soil mapping, and broader applications in sustainable soil management and climate change mitigation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-24236-9","authors":["Rachna Singh","Mriganka De","Rintu Banerjee","Anshuman Nayak","Shubhadip Dasgupta","Ayan Das","S.S.

However, the mechanisms of sugar transport regulation by signal sugar availability remain unclear in plant and animal cells. Here, we report that a sucrose transporter, MdSUT1, and a sorbitol transporter, MdSOT6, both localized to plasma membrane, were identified from apple (Malus domestica) fruit. Using a combination of the split-ubiquitin yeast two-hybrid, immunocoprecipitation, and bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays, the two distinct sugar transporters were shown to interact physically with an apple endoplasmic reticulum-anchored cytochrome b5 MdCYB5 in vitro and in vivo. In the yeast systems, the two different interaction complexes function to up-regulate the affinity of the sugar transporters, allowing cells to adapt to sugar starvation. An Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) homolog of MdCYB5, AtCYB5-A, also interacts with the two sugar transporters and functions similarly. The point mutations leucine-73 --> proline in MdSUT1 and leucine-117 --> proline in MdSOT6, disrupting the bimolecular interactions but without significantly affecting the transporter activities, abolish the stimulating effects of the sugar transporter-cytochrome b5 complex on the affinity of the sugar transporters. However, the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cytochrome b5 ScCYB5, an additional interacting partner of the two plant sugar transporters, has no function in the regulation of the sugar transporters, indicating that the observed biological functions in the yeast systems are specific to plant cytochrome b5s. These findings suggest a novel mechanism by which the plant cells tailor sugar uptake to the surrounding sugar availability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.109.141374","authors":["Renchun Fan","Changcao Peng","Yanhong Xu","Xiaofang Wang","Yán Li","Yi Shang","Shuyuan Du","Rui Zhao","Xiaoyan Zhang","Lingyun Zhang","Dapeng Zhang"],"tags":["Biochemistry","Transporter","Yeast","Arabidopsis thaliana","Sugar"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2009-06-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.109.141374","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W4318034565","name":"Cambium 2022 Scenario Descriptions and Documentation","source":"openalex","abstract":"The National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) Cambium data sets are annually released sets of simulated hourly emission, cost, and operational data for a range of modeled futures of the U.S. electric sector with metrics designed to be useful for long-term decision making.

Here we investigate the performance of the model for an example biome boundary in Eastern North America. We explore the sensitivity of the predicted biome boundaries and ecosystem properties to the variation of leaf properties determined by the parameter space defined by the GLOPNET global leaf trait database. Further, we investigate the impact of four sequential alterations to the structural assumptions in the model governing the relative carbon economy of deciduous and evergreen plants. The default assumption is that the costs and benefits of deciduous vs. evergreen leaf strategies, in terms of carbon assimilation and expenditure, can reproduce the geographical structure of biome boundaries and ecosystem functioning. We find some support for this assumption, but only under particular combinations of model traits and structural assumptions. Many questions remain regarding the preferred methods for deployment of plant trait information in land surface models. In some cases, plant traits might best be closely linked with each other, but we also find support for direct linkages to environmental conditions.

With the goal of developing a new multi‐criteria decision‐making framework, this article examines how several multi‐criteria decision‐making approaches can be used to facilitate the selection of sustainable product‐package designs. Using a case study, the multi‐criteria decision‐making method analyses package design, helping decision‐makers to determine and minimize the percentage of food losses at each step of the supply chain. Furthermore, the design of both the product and its packaging must encompass the entire life cycle, including materials sourcing, production, transportation, use and disposal. Achieving sustainability requires a collaborative effort among all supply chain agents, from producers to consumers. Consequently, this study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of attaining sustainable product and packaging design in the food supply chain, emphasizing the need for a long‐term, collaborative approach to sustainability. This study concludes that sustainable packaging is highly relevant in the circular food supply chain due to its direct contributions to reducing food waste, conserving resources, mitigating carbon emissions, and meeting consumer preferences for eco‐friendly products.

Further, rDV is found to potentiate fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) signaling at low concentrations that in the absence of rDV are not biologically active. Finally, rDV immobilized on 3D porous silk fibroin biomaterials promotes enhanced vascular ingrowth and integration of the implanted scaffolds with the surrounding tissue.

The value of flexibility options varies regionally due to different generation mixes and types of renewables.

One species of the group, Pseudomonas putida, thrives as a colonizer of plant roots and frequently inhabits soils polluted with various types of chemical waste. Owing to a combination of historical contingencies and inherent qualities, a particular strain, P. putida KT2440, emerged time ago as an archetype of an environmental microorganism amenable to recombinant DNA technologies, which was also capable of catabolizing chemical pollutants. Later, the same bacterium progressed as a reliable platform for programming traits and activities in various biotechnological applications. This article summarizes the stepwise upgrading of P. putida KT2440 from being a system for fundamental studies on the biodegradation of aromatic compounds (especially when harboring the TOL plasmid pWW0) to its adoption as a chassis of choice in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. Although there are remaining uncertainties about the taxonomic classification of KT2440, advanced genome editing capabilities allow us to tailor its genetic makeup to meet specific needs. This makes its traditional categorization somewhat less important, while also increasing the strain’s overall value for contemporary industrial and environmental uses.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1128/jb.00136-24","authors":["Vı́ctor de Lorenzo","Danilo Pérez‐Pantoja","Pablo I.

These filaments were then used to print test specimens, which underwent quasi‐static mechanical tests (i.e., tensile and flexural; thermal characterization, thermo‐mechanical tests, and visco‐elastic analysis). The experimental findings demonstrated a remarkable improvement in the tensile strength (i.e., +15%) when the PLA was reinforced with 6% in volume of lignocellulosic particles. Additionally, 3% MCBP and 6% MCBP composites showed substantial increases in flexural strength and modulus (i.e., +25% and +34%), respectively; in comparison to the neat matrix. Moreover, the 3D‐printed composites exhibited significant enhancements in storage modulus, glass transition temperature, and structural stability at elevated temperatures.

As a result, even leading buildings that have advanced toward Zero-Energy status may not that as innocent as promised by evaluating environmental impacts during their whole life.

While the US Midwest has been recognized as key to providing maize stover for meeting near‐term cellulosic biofuel production goals, there is uncertainty that such feedstocks can produce biofuels that meet federal cellulosic standards. Here, we conducted extensive site‐level calibration of the Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) terrestrial ecosystems model and applied the model at high spatial resolution across the US Midwest to improve estimates of the maximum production potential and greenhouse gas emissions expected from continuous maize residue‐derived biofuels. A comparison of methodologies for calculating the soil carbon impacts of residue harvesting demonstrates the large impact of study duration, depth of soil considered, and inclusion of litter carbon in soil carbon change calculations on the estimated greenhouse gas intensity of maize stover‐derived biofuels. Using the most representative methodology for assessing long‐term residue harvesting impacts, we estimate that only 5.3 billion liters per year (bly) of ethanol, or 8.7% of the near‐term US cellulosic biofuel demand, could be met under common no‐till farming practices. However, appreciably more feedstock becomes available at modestly higher emissions levels, with potential for 89.0 bly of ethanol production meeting US advanced biofuel standards. Adjustments to management practices, such as adding cover crops to no‐till management, will be required to produce sufficient quantities of residue meeting the greenhouse gas emission reduction standard for cellulosic biofuels.

The highly selective generation of catalytical active species (•OH) to facilitate this process presents a significant scientific challenge. Therefore, a novel approach for designing photocatalysts with single‐atom containment in metal‐covalent organic frameworks (M‐COFs) is proposed. The selection of imine‐linked COFs containing abundant N and O‐chelate sites provides a solid foundation for anchoring metal atom. These dispersed metal atom possess rapid accumulation and transfer capabilities for photogenerated electrons, while the periodic π‐conjugated structure in 2D‐COFs establishes an effective platform. Additionally, the Lewis acid properties of imine bonds in COFs can enhance the adsorption capacity toward gases with Lewis base properties, such as O 2 and N 2 . It is demonstrated that the Pd 2+ @Tp‐TAPT, designed based on this concept, exhibits efficient oxygen adsorption and follows the reaction pathway of O 2 →•O 2 − →H 2 O 2 →•OH with high selectivity, thereby achieving completely degradation of refractory phenol through photocatalysis within 10 min.

Two sides of this resource are explored. The first side is related to hydrogen production, while the second side is related to hydrogen utilization. Several methods can be employed in order to produce hydrogen, where water electrolysis is regarded as the most effective method in terms of minimal carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, particularly when powered by renewable energy sources. A critical aspect of this rapidly evolving technology is the utilized power supply with the electrolyzer, which is tasked with handling unregulated dc voltage efficiently at megawatt-scale power levels. On the flip side, hydrogen can be used directly as a feedstock in some applications, used with internal combustion engines (ICEs) to convert the stored chemical energy into mechanical output, or with fuel cells to convert the chemical energy into electrical energy, where power electronics are mandatory with the latter to control the flow of this energy and benefit from reduced noise and vibrations. Collectively, these electrified hydrogen systems represent remarkable possibilities and opportunities and present a unique set of challenges in terms of the risks associated with hydrogen along with the optimization of the surrounding power electronics technology, which is a key enabler for enhanced system performance and reduced capital cost and, potentially, a lower total cost of ownership.

To anticipate disputes and draw a baseline for further research, this article surveys the relevant rules of international law that presently regulate major operations of the lithium industry. First, the material dimensions of lithium are transformed into a workable object of international law, focusing on viable reserves (as opposed to all proven resources) and the analytical priority of territorial jurisdiction. Second, the regulatory regimes of four States with major reserves—Chile, Australia, Argentina, and China—illustrate recurring challenges, such as incentivizing investment in value-added production and the discontent of Indigenous communities. Third, the trade and investment treaties of these States help us to map an international legal framework for the lithium industry, focusing on the World Trade Organization, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. But such treaties may be interpreted in light of a State’s obligations concerning human rights, environmental protection, and Indigenous peoples, giving legal form to the pursuit of supply chain justice in the energy transition.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jiel/jgac002","authors":["Oliver Hailes"],"tags":["General partnership","Indigenous","Jurisdiction","Economic Justice","Business"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-01-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jiel/jgac002","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402542572","name":"Sulfonated carbon–based heterogeneous acid catalysts in direct biomass redox flow fuel cell: A review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract This review focused on the potential applications of sulfonated carbon–based heterogeneous acid catalysts for the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) fuel feedstock and the development of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for the direct biomass redox flow fuel cell (DBRFFC). LCBs are hydrolysed to yield simple sugars, which are subsequently oxidized over catalysts in the anode tank of the DBRFFC to generate electricity. Ferric chloride used as a catalyst in the DBRFFC is not efficient for glucose production from LCB, such that the power performance of the DBRFFC is affected during glucose oxidation due to low glucose yield from LCB for electron generation. Sulfonated carbon–based solid acid catalysts (SCSACs) have been established as efficient catalysts for the hydrolysis of LCB and as metal catalyst supports for the fabrication of MEA for further oxidation of glucose and its oxidation by‐products. These capabilities of SCSACs can be explored and applied to significantly improve the power output of the DBRFFC through efficient hybrid catalyst design. There is still a scarcity of literature on this subject and their combination with ferric chloride to enhance glucose yield and oxidation in DBRFFC. This gap was filled by discussing the various types of sulfonated carbon–based catalysts, highlighting their synthesis routes, and their applications in organic compound synthesis, and membrane electrode development in DBRFFC.

However, the relative influence of these factors in determining the AGB of Quercus forests remains poorly understood. Using a large dataset retrieved from 523 permanent forest inventory plots across Northeast China, we examined the effects of integrated multiple tree species diversity components (i.e., species richness, functional, and phylogenetic diversity), functional traits composition, environmental factors (climate and soil), stand age, and structure attributes (stand density, tree size diversity) on AGB based on structural equation models. We found that species richness and phylogenetic diversity both were not correlated with AGB.

Moreover, the community‐weighted mean of specific leaf area and height increased AGB directly and indirectly, respectively; demonstrating the mass‐ratio effect. Furthermore, stand age, density, and tree size diversity were more important modulators of AGB than biodiversity.

Common DAC methods typically employ fixed bed reactors packed with granular adsorbents, which suffer from high gas pressure drop, poor heat and mass transfer, and long cycle durations. Additionally, multiple reactors are required for continuous operation, resulting in bulky systems and complex control. This study proposes a novel rotary adsorber‐based DAC strategy, where powdered adsorbents are shaped into structured adsorbents, enabling rapid carbon capture in a single reactor via a steam‐assisted temperature swing adsorption cycle. A ton‐scale‐potential DAC prototype was constructed. Experimental results exhibit a CO 2 capture rate of 50%–85%, producing high‐purity CO 2 (>90%) with remarkable CO 2 productivity of 0.235−0.352 kg CO2 /kg adsorbent /day. A mathematical model was developed to reveal the dynamic variations of key parameters within the rotor. On this basis, optimization strategies were proposed, showing that by implementing heat recovery, the total energy consumption of carbon capture could be reduced to 7.41–9.64 MJ/kg CO2 . Further enhancement of the adsorbent performance could lower the energy consumption to 2.50–3.14 MJ/kg CO2 .

Frequent testing at the point of care (POC) is a key aspect for controlling outbreaks caused by SARS-CoV-2 and other emerging pathogens, as the early identification of infected individuals can then be followed by appropriate measures of isolation or treatment, maximizing the chances of recovery and preventing infectious spread. Diagnostic tools used for high-frequency testing should be inexpensive, provide a rapid diagnostic response without sophisticated equipment, and be amenable to manufacturing on a large scale. The application of these devices should enable large-scale data collection, help control viral transmission, and prevent disease propagation.

However, the fluctuation of the PV power generation and the uncertainty of the electricity prices exacerbate the economic operation risks of the VPP. To address these challenges, an optimal dispatching strategy for the PV‐storage‐load VPP is proposed, with due consideration given to the dual uncertainties of electricity prices and PV power output. Firstly, the conditional value‐at‐risk theory is employed to quantify the uncertainty risk of VPP revenue caused by electricity price fluctuations. Secondly, in view of the asymmetric fluctuation intervals of PV power output, a quantification method for PV uncertainty and dispatch robustness is developed using the confidence gap decision theory. Furthermore, by combining the regulation reserve model of multi‐type flexible resources, a robust optimization model for the PV‐storage‐load VPP is constructed with the objective of maximizing comprehensive operational revenue, which includes the provision of upward and downward reserve services. Finally, case studies based on a PV‐storage‐load VPP in a Chinese province are conducted to validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed model. The simulation results indicate that the proposed robust optimization strategy effectively reflects the relationship between the uncertainty of PV power output and the risk preference of decision‐maker, mitigates the fluctuation risks of electricity prices to ensure the stability of the power system, and enhances the economic efficiency and flexibility of the PV‐storage‐load VPP operation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1049/enc2.70034","authors":["Xinyi Zhu","Sheng Zhou","Fucong Xu","Yuge Chen","Hongfei Yu","Xueyuan Cui","Jiajia Yang","Zhicheng Li","Li Yang","Zhenzhi Lin"],"tags":["Electricity","Photovoltaic system","Robust optimization","Robustness (evolution)","Flexibility (engineering)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1049/enc2.70034","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405896149","name":"Moisture-driven carbonation kinetics for ultrafast CO 2 mineralization","source":"openalex","abstract":"CO 2 mineralization, a process where CO 2 reacts with minerals to form stable carbonates, presents a sustainable approach for CO 2 sequestration and mitigation of global warming.

This study employs a combined experimental and atomistic simulation approach to elucidate the intricate mechanisms governing moisture-driven carbonation kinetics of calcium-bearing minerals. A self-designed carbonation reactor equipped with an ultrasonic atomizer is used to meticulously control the water content during carbonation experiments. Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations reveal that maximum CO 2 uptake occurs at a critical water content where the initiation of capillary condensation significantly enhanced liquid–gas interactions. This phenomenon leads to CO 2 adsorption–driven ultrafast carbonation at an optimal moisture content (0.1 to 0.2 g/g, water mass ratio to total wet mass of the mineral). A higher moisture content decimates the carbonation rate by crippling CO 2 intake within mineral pores. However, at exceptionally high moisture levels, the carbonation reaction sites shift from internal mesopores to the grain surface. This results in surface dissolution–driven ultrafast carbonation, attributed to the monotonically decreasing free energy of dissolution with increasing surface water thickness, as revealed by metadynamics simulations. This study provides a fundamental and unified understanding of the multifaceted role of water in mineral carbonation, paving the way for optimizing ultrafast CO 2 mineralization strategies for global decarbonization efforts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2418239121","authors":["Yining Gao","Yong Tao","Gen Li","Peiliang Shen","Roland Pellenq","Chi Sun Poon"],"tags":["Carbonation","Dissolution","Moisture","Water content","Mineralization (soil science)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2418239121","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403824347","name":"Nonstationarity in the global terrestrial water cycle and its interlinkages in the Anthropocene","source":"openalex","abstract":"Climate change and human activities alter the global freshwater cycle, causing nonstationary processes as its distribution shifting over time, yet a comprehensive understanding of these changes remains elusive.

While buffers are routinely optimized to prevent instability, the impact of buffer on the internal structural organization of LNPs and, consequently, their delivery efficiency remain unresolved. Here, we study the impact of storage in Tris, histidine, and citrate buffers for mRNA-LNPs formulated with LP-01, MC3, and SM-102 ionizable lipids. We demonstrate that storage buffer identity and concentration govern mRNA-LNP internal ordering before and after freeze–thaw and are thus critical parameters for engineering high-performance formulations. Deconvoluting ordered phases into an mRNA-lipid region and excess lipid region reveals the importance of excess ionizable lipid behavior in enhancing endosomal escape. Prior to freezing, citrate buffer enhances transfection efficiency by promoting a transition to the fusogenic inverse hexagonal (H II ) phase earlier during acidification, facilitated by a greater amount of ordered excess ionizable lipid. In contrast, Tris buffer provides the highest transfection efficiency after freeze–thaw by preventing aggregation and cargo loss while promoting favorable internal structure. Increasing Tris concentration from 10 to 50–150 mM leads to mRNA-rich bleb formation in freeze–thawed mRNA-LNPs, which improves freeze–thaw stability and thus transfection efficiency by mitigating mRNA-lipid adduct formation and accommodating a larger excess ionizable lipid region to facilitate H II phase formation.

Replacement of two amino acids in the metal-sensing site with the corresponding residues from MntR results in a DtxR mutant that is highly selective for Mn(II).

The system was designed as a one-part alkali-activated material (AAM), with CKD acting as an internal activator, and subjected to ambient curing, water curing, and accelerated CO2 curing at ambient pressure. Phase evolution, microstructural development, and pore-structure characteristics were investigated using X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, DSC–TG analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray micro-computed tomography, together with measurements of density, water absorption, and compressive strength. Loss-on-ignition measurements combined with chemical analysis were further used to quantify CO2 uptake and evaluate the degree of carbonation of the binder system. CO2 curing fundamentally altered the reaction pathway of the binder, shifting it from hydration-dominated to carbonation-controlled phase evolution, leading to the decomposition of calcium-bearing hydrates and complete carbonation of non-hydraulic γ-belite with the formation of vaterite, aragonite, and calcite. These transformations induced pronounced microstructural densification, reflected in a near-doubling of compressive strength (>48 MPa), increased apparent density, reduced water absorption, and simplified pore-network topology. A preliminary carbon footprint assessment indicates that the production of 1 m3 of the developed LFS–CA–CKD concrete generates about 14.36 kg CO2-eq, while the carbonation process enables significant CO2 sequestration, resulting in a net negative carbon balance.

While existing research examines broad environmental impacts, few studies have focused on energy use and emissions at specific rice milling stages or compared mill sizes. This study addresses these gaps by analyzing energy consumption and carbon emissions across mills of varying capacities (4 TPH, 8 TPH, and 12 TPH) in India. Using a combination of energy auditing, process mapping, and life‐cycle assessment, this study assesses energy consumption and carbon emissions at each stage of the rice milling process. Rice milling consumes 817.10 MJ of energy and emits 61.76 kg of CO 2 equivalent per ton. The total environmental footprint of rice production, including cultivation to white rice production, amounts to 3234 MJ and 402.96 kg of CO 2 equivalent emissions per ton. Energy use decreases with an increase in mill capacity and CO 2 emissions. Among various milling operations, whitening and polishing were the dominant hotspots (45%–58% of the total). Scaling from 4 to 12 TPH rice mill in India reduced energy consumption and CO 2 emissions by 28.3% and 27.6%. These findings are intended to guide policymakers, mill operators, and industry stakeholders in mitigating the environmental impacts of rice production, thereby contributing to broader global sustainability goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.70800","authors":["Prabhat Kumar Guru","Pushpraj Diwan","Parmanand Sahu","Gopal Carpenter","Sandip Gangil","G.S.

Adsorption in porous sorbents offers a promising method for CO2 capture and storage. The zinc‐triazole‐oxalate‐based Calgary framework 20 (CALF‐20) demonstrates high CO2 capacity, low H2O affinity, and low adsorption heat, enabling energy‐efficient and stable performance over multiple cycles. This study examines CO2 adsorption mechanism in CALF‐20 using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS), in situ powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD), and gas adsorption experiments under varying temperatures and humidity levels. Variable‐temperature PALS experiments demonstrate that CO₂ molecules are spatially localized within the CALF‐20 cages, leaving temperature‐ and pressure‐dependent gaps. CO2 begins at cage centers, forming 1D chains, and ultimately adheres to pore walls. Interestingly, positronium intensity correlates with the Langmuir‐Freundlich isotherm, reflecting gas uptake behavior. Moreover, under pure relative humidity (RH), water molecules form isolated clusters or small oligomers at low RH, transitioning to hydrogen‐bonded networks above 35 %RH, significantly altering free volumes. In humid CO₂ conditions, competitive interactions arise: CO₂ initially disrupts water propagation, but higher RH leads to extensive water networks filling the framework. The synergy between in situ‐PALS, in situ‐PXRD, and gas adsorption techniques provides comprehensive insights into CALF‐20′s potential for efficient CO2 capture under varying conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.202500544","authors":["Ahmed G.

Natural gas-derived ethane in VCM synthesis has long been considered a transformative feedstock to lower emissions and expenses. In this work, we evaluate the environmental potential and economics of recently developed catalytic ethane chlorination technologies for VCM synthesis. We consider the ethylene-based business-as-usual (BAU) route and two different ethane-based processes evaluated at their current development level and their full potential, i.e., ideal conversion and selectivity. All routes are assessed under two temporal scenarios: present (2020) and prospective (2050). Combining process simulation and life cycle assessment (LCA), we find that catalytic ethane chlorination technologies can lower the production cost by 32% at their current development state and by 56% when considering their full potential. Though environmentally disadvantageous in the 2020 scenario, they emerge as more sustainable alternatives to the BAU in the 2050 scenario, reducing the carbon footprint of VCM synthesis by up to 26% at their current state and up to 58% at their full potential. Going beyond VCM synthesis, our results highlight prospective LCA as a powerful tool for assessing the true environmental implications of emerging technologies under more decarbonized future energy scenarios.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.3c03006","authors":["Juan D.

Here, we present a combined experimental and computational study to clarify the effectiveness and molecular mechanism by which nickel nanoparticles, NiNPs, may enhance CO 2 hydration in aqueous solutions. Contrary to previous literature, our kinetic experiments recording changes of pHs, conductivity, and dissolved carbon dioxide in solution reveal a minimal effect of the NiNPs in catalyzing CO 2 hydration. Our atomistic simulations indicate that the Ni metal surface can coordinate only a limited number of water molecules, leaving uncoordinated metal sites for the binding of carbon dioxide or other cations in solution. This deactivates the catalyst and limits the continuous re-formation of a hydroxyl-decorated surface, which was a key chemical step in the previously suggested Ni-catalyzed hydration mechanism of carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions. At our experimental conditions, which expand the investigation of NiNP applicability toward a wider range of scenarios for CCU, NiNPs show a limited catalytic effect on the rate of CO 2 hydration. Our study also highlights the importance of the solvation regime: while Ni surfaces may accelerate carbon dioxide hydration in water restricted environments, it may not be the case in fully hydrated conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c06676","authors":["Alessandro Sinopoli","Ziao Liu","Ahmed Abotaleb","Alaa Alkhateeb","Ivan Gladich"],"tags":["Catalysis","Aqueous solution","Carbon dioxide","Nickel","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c06676","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W7124717358","name":"Understanding the Drivers of Carbon–Nitrogen Cycle Variability in CMIP6 ESMs With MAGICC CNit v2.0: Model and Calibration Updates","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Carbon–nitrogen coupling is a critical constraint for improving carbon cycle and climate simulations in Earth system models (ESMs), yet large uncertainties hinder inter‐model comparisons. Here, we present CNit v2.0, an updated representation of the carbon–nitrogen cycle in MAGICC—a widely used reduced‐complexity model (RCM). CNit v2.0 is calibrated to emulate carbon–nitrogen cycle dynamics in various ESMs across historical, idealized (1pctCO2, 1pctCO2‐bgc), and multiple Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) experiments, demonstrating strong emulation performance. The global annual‐mean emulation from historical to SSP5‐8.5 (1850–2100) reveals increasing nitrogen limitation on net primary production (NPP), with a multi‐model mean inhibition of 10.2 ± 5.6% by 2100 due to nitrogen deficits limiting plant uptake. The stronger CO 2 fertilization effect in carbon‐only (C‐only) ESMs exceeds the mitigating influence of nitrogen limitation in CN‐coupled ESMs, implying a risk of continued NPP overestimation in C‐only ESMs—even if a nitrogen cycle is later added—due to insufficient constraints on CO 2 sensitivity. The climate response of litter production is sign‐changing between C‐only (inhibition) and CN‐coupled (enhancement) ESMs, suggesting nitrogen effects may be misattributed as climate effects in C‐only ESMs. Divergent climate responses and nitrogen effects on litter decomposition—particularly litter respiration and labile soil organic matter decomposition—are the primary drivers of total heterotrophic respiration differences between C‐only and CN‐coupled ESMs. Alongside NPP, these factors shape distinct carbon cycle dynamics. While nitrogen pools and fluxes generally follow carbon trends, they exhibit greater inter‐model spread. In light of the calibration updates, we propose practical strategies to improve carbon cycle calibration in future RCMs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2025ms005270","authors":["Gang Tang","Sönke Zaehle","Zebedee Nicholls","Alexander Norton","Tilo Ziehn","Malte Meinshausen"],"tags":["Environmental science","Primary production","Carbon cycle","Atmospheric sciences","Nitrogen cycle"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2025ms005270","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.815Z"},{"id":"oa:W4280538596","name":"Homes of the future: Unpacking public perceptions to power the domestic hydrogen transition","source":"openalex","abstract":"Decarbonization in several countries is now linked to the prospect of implementing a national hydrogen economy. In countries with extensive natural gas infrastructure, hydrogen may provide a real opportunity to decarbonize space heating. While this approach may prove technically and economically feasible in the long-term, it is unclear whether consumers will be willing to adopt hydrogen-fueled appliances for heating and cooking should techno-economic feasibility be achieved. In response, this paper develops an analytical framework for examining hydrogen acceptance which links together socio-technical barriers and social acceptance factors. Applying this framework, the study synthesizes the existing knowledge on public perceptions of hydrogen and identifies critical knowledge gaps which should be addressed to support domestic hydrogen acceptance. The paper demonstrates that a future research agenda should account for the interactions between acceptance factors at the attitudinal, socio-political, market, community, and behavioral level. The analysis concludes that hydrogen is yet to permeate the public consciousness due to a lack of knowledge and awareness, owing to an absence of information dissemination. In response, consumer engagement in energy markets and stronger public trust in key stakeholders will help support social acceptance as the hydrogen transition unfolds. Affordability may prove the most critical barrier to the large-scale adoption of hydrogen homes, while the disruptive impacts of the switchover and distributional injustice represent key concerns. As a starting point, the promise of economic, environmental, and community benefits must be communicated and fulfilled to endorse the value of hydrogen homes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2022.112481","authors":["Joel A.

The absorbents exhibited CO2 absorption with molar ratio of 1 molCO2/molamine, and aqueous isophorone diamine (IPDA) in particular showed >99% CO2 removal even under a 500 mL min−1 flow of 400 ppm CO2–N2 with the contact rate of 13,761.5 h−1 between CO2 and IPDA aqueous solution and the CO2 absorption rate of 4.46 mmol/L min.

Carbon sink estimates for Northern Eurasia from forest inventories, flux mapping, and remote sensing have moved toward convergence over the past decade, although substantial differences remain. Several bottom‐up and top‐down estimates exceed Russia's national greenhouse gas inventory values. Here, we combine data from four independent sources—machine‐learning‐based FLUXCOM, atmospheric inversion models, the TRENDY ensemble of dynamic global vegetation models, and CMIP6 Earth System Models—to assess the spatial and temporal characteristics of the Northern Eurasian net carbon sink and discuss the differences. Our multi‐approach assessment yields a regional estimate of 0.47 ± 0.20 GtC year −1 for the 2001–2015 period, which accounts for one‐third of the global land carbon sink. CMIP6 model estimates are broadly consistent with those from other approaches, lending confidence to their future projections, although regional differences persist across individual models. We find a pronounced spatial flux gradient from south to north and west to east along a mean temperature gradient, with stronger carbon sinks in the warmer southern regions and weaker sinks in the cooler northeastern regions. Despite rapid warming in the northern parts of Northern Eurasia, CO 2 ‐ and warming‐induced carbon sink enhancement contributes little to the overall regional sink due to its initially low net productivity. These results underscore the importance of forest productivity in shaping the terrestrial carbon sink and provide a multi‐perspective view of its evolution under continued anthropogenic forcing.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2025gb008971","authors":["Irina Melnikova","Tokuta Yokohata","Dmitry Schepaschenko","Stephen Sitch","Shamil Maksyutov"],"tags":["Carbon sink","Environmental science","Sink (geography)","Climate change","Greenhouse gas"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2025gb008971","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"oa:W1498874669","name":"Maillard Reaction Products in Processed Food: Pros and Cons","source":"openalex","abstract":"Food Industrial Processes -Methods and Equipment","url":"https://doi.org/10.5772/31925","authors":["Deborah Markowicz","Érica de Lemos Ferreira Monaro","Érica Sayuri Siguemoto","Mariana Sefor"],"tags":["cons","Maillard reaction","Food science","Chemistry","Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-02-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5772/31925","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401316078","name":"Regulation of Intrinsic Defects of Self‐Activated MgGa 2 O 4 Phosphors for Temperature Dynamic Anti‐Counterfeiting","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Photoluminescent (PL) anti‐counterfeiting plays a critical role in encrypted information and anti‐counterfeiting. Dynamic PL anti‐counterfeiting technology provides advanced security features compared with static counterparts. Yet, many current dynamic luminescent materials rely solely on an optical storage mechanism, leading to a lack of diversification and making them vulnerable to replication. Here, dynamic PL emission triggered by ambient temperature variations is addressed. By modifying the sintering atmospheres and non‐stoichiometric ratio of MgGa 2 O 4 (MGO) samples, the concentration of intrinsic defects of the host are modified, resulting in temperature‐sensitive PL output dynamically manipulated from blue to green to red. Density‐functional theory (DFT) analysis elucidates the formation energies of intrinsic defects in the MGO samples, revealing that the self‐activated blue, green, and red emissions stem from lattice defects, [GaO 6 ], antisite defects , and interstitial oxygen (), respectively. Additionally, by monitoring the luminescence lifetime, and the thermoluminescence (TL) curves of the MGO samples, it is shown that the dynamic PL emission is generated by a combination of thermally assisted carrier migration and thermal compensation from trapping centers. Herein, a dual‐channel encrypted dot matrix is designed to enhance information transfer security through the interference between the dual channels, showcasing the practical application of this dynamic anti‐counterfeiting technique.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/lpor.202400793","authors":["Guohao Wang","Ting Wang","Yang Yue","Lihui Hou","Wenlong Huang","Xuanyu Zhu","Haozhe Liu","Xue Yu"],"tags":["Luminescence","Materials science","Photoluminescence","Phosphor","Thermoluminescence"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/lpor.202400793","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"oa:W1985900610","name":"Miniature1-Encoded Cell Wall Invertase Is Essential for Assembly and Function of Wall-in-Growth in the Maize Endosperm Transfer Cell","source":"openalex","abstract":"The miniature1 (mn1) seed phenotype in maize (Zea mays) is due to a loss-of-function mutation at the Mn1 locus that encodes a cell wall invertase (INCW2) that localizes exclusively to the basal endosperm transfer cells (BETCs) of developing seeds. A common feature of all transfer cells is the labyrinth-like wall-in-growth (WIG) that increases the plasma membrane area, thereby enhancing transport capacity in these cells. To better understand WIG formation and roles of INCW2 in the BETC development, we examined wild-type and mn1 mutant developing kernels by cryofixation and electron microscopy. In Mn1 seeds, WIGs developed uniformly in the BETC layer during 7 to 17 d after pollination, and the secretory/endocytic organelles proliferated in the BETCs. Mitochondria accumulated in the vicinity of WIGs, suggesting a functional link between them. In the mn1 BETCs, WIGs were stunted and their endoplasmic reticulum was swollen; Golgi density in the mutant BETCs was 51% of the Mn1 Golgi density. However, the polarized distribution of mitochondria was not affected. INCW2-specific immunogold particles were detected in WIGs, the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi stacks, and the trans-Golgi network in the Mn1 BETCs, while immunogold particles were extremely rare in the mutant BETCs. Levels of WIG development in the empty pericarp4 mutant was heterogeneous among BETCs, and INCW2 immunogold particles were approximately four times more abundant in the larger WIGs than in the stunted WIGs. These results indicate that polarized secretion is activated during WIG formation and that INCW2 is required for normal development of WIGs to which INCW2 is localized.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.109.142331","authors":["Byung‐Ho Kang","Yuqing Xiong","Donna S.

Here, we use crystal growth experiments at temperatures applicable for potential coastal applications to test the effect of silica on the formation of the hydrated Mg-carbonate phase nesquehonite (MgCO 3 ·3H 2 O). Solution chemistry analysis coupled with phase identification demonstrates that the presence of silica in the solution can actually assist the formation of nesquehonite and increase its yield by as much as 60 times. Our findings suggest that the presence of silica changes interfacial stabilities, lowering the energetic barrier for nesquehonite nucleation. In addition, in situ attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) transformation experiments demonstrated that nesquehonite precipitating in a solution containing a high concentration of dissolved silica exhibits enhanced stability against its transformation into hydromagnesite. These findings will help to better constrain what we expect for applications of olivine during carbon remediation strategies as well as assist yields for industrial applications that use Mg-based cement as building materials to facilitate a CO 2 -neutral or negative footprint.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.3c06939","authors":["Rasesh Pokharel","Iasmina C.

In China, blue carbon has moved rapidly from scientific concept to policy agenda through carbon peaking policy, marine ecological restoration, and the reactivated national voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction market. Yet blue carbon governance remains institutionally fragile. Existing debates often discuss resource potential, project methodologies, market design, and policy texts separately. This leaves the ecology–policy interface underexamined. Drawing on national policy and planning documents issued between 2021 and April 2026, official project methodology and market rules, peer-reviewed literature, and reported pilot practice, this article examines how ecological differences, institutional rules, project mechanisms, and sustainable development claims interact in China’s blue carbon governance. The analysis shows that current national crediting arrangements are strongest for restoration interventions entering the China Certified Emission Reductions (CCER) system. The broader governance chain remains incomplete. Ecologically distinct systems are still often treated as a single governance object, although national estimates, CCER methodology parameters, and project cost evidence show clear differences in carbon stocks, soil carbon accumulation, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) burden, and reversal risk. Resource rights, project development rights, carbon revenues, and stewardship duties remain weakly connected. Market instruments are only partly coordinated with public compensation and blended finance, and local pilots are generating projects faster than reusable rules. A stronger governance approach should distinguish among ecosystem types and action categories. It should build a layered MRV system, link revenues to long-term stewardship and local or community benefit sharing arrangements, and create a route for converting pilot experience into cross-regional rules.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2026.1859402","authors":["Yan Zheng","Hefeng Wang","Yangyi Ai","Yuanjun Wang","J Zhang","Jiarui Li"],"tags":["Blue carbon","Stewardship (theology)","Corporate governance","Business","Greenhouse gas"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2026.1859402","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406335857","name":"Copula Modeling and Uncertainty Propagation in Field‐Scale Simulation of CO 2 Fault Leakage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Subsurface storage of is an important means to mitigate climate change, and the North Sea hosts considerable potential storage resources. To investigate the fate of over decades in vast reservoirs, numerical simulation based on realistic models is essential. Faults and other complex geological structures introduce modeling challenges as their effects on storage operations are subject to high uncertainty. We present a computational framework for forward propagation of uncertainty, including stochastic upscaling and copula representation of multivariate distributions for a storage site model with faults. The Vette fault zone in the Smeaheia formation in the North Sea is used as a test case. The stochastic upscaling method reduces the number of stochastic dimensions and the cost of evaluating the reservoir model. Copulas provide representation of dependent multidimensional random variables and a good fit to data, allow fast sampling and coupling to the forward propagation method via independent uniform random variables. The non‐stationary correlation within the upscaled flow functions are accurately captured by a data‐driven transformation model. The uncertainty in upscaled flow functions and other uncertain parameters are efficiently propagated to leakage estimates using numerical reservoir simulation of a two‐phase system of CO 2 and brine. The expectations of leakage are estimated by an adaptive stratified sampling technique which effectively allocates samples in stochastic space. We demonstrate cost reduction compared to standard Monte Carlo of one or two orders of magnitude for simpler test cases, and factors 2–8 cost reduction for stochastic multi‐phase flow properties and more complex stochastic models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024wr038073","authors":["Per Pettersson","Eirik Keilegavlen","Tor Harald Sandve","Sarah E.

The fundamental roles of microbial functional traits in regulating microbial necromass have been recognized in numerous studies. However, the interactions across multitrophic levels (including bacteria, fungi and nematodes) represent an important but still incompletely understood pathway linking microbial dynamics to necromass accumulation, particularly under nitrogen (N) deposition. Here, we investigated the soil microbial necromass carbon (MNC) contents during 7-year N addition experiment conducted in two typical alpine coniferous plantation forests and explored the associations of microbial functional traits and multitrophic traits with soil MNC accumulation under N addition. Our findings revealed that N addition promoted MNC accumulation and increased the microbial r/K ratios, bacterial rrn copy numbers and multitrophic network complexity. The MNC contents were positively correlated with the microbial r/K ratios, rrn copy numbers and multitrophic network complexity. Structural equation modeling suggested that N addition increased the multitrophic network complexity and changed microbial life strategies (increased microbial r/K and bacterial rrn copy numbers) through soil nutrients, which was associated with higher MNC contents. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that the promoting effects of N addition on MNC accumulation were jointly associated with microbial life history strategies and multitrophic network complexity. These findings provide novel insights into the conceptual linkage underlying the positive effect of N deposition on soil C sequestration through increased MNC and emphasize the importance of integrating microbial life history strategies and multitrophic interactions into soil carbon cycling models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jpe/rtag087","authors":["Dungang Wang","Min Li","Yi-Xiang Wang","Na Li","Jia Liu","Huajun Yin"],"tags":["Soil carbon","Nitrogen cycle","Biology","Ecology","Cycling"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jpe/rtag087","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"oa:W2047284611","name":"The Seed Composition of Arabidopsis Mutants for the Group 3 Sulfate Transporters Indicates a Role in Sulfate Translocation within Developing Seeds","source":"openalex","abstract":"Sulfate is required for the synthesis of sulfur-containing amino acids and numerous other compounds essential for the plant life cycle. The delivery of sulfate to seeds and its translocation between seed tissues is likely to require specific transporters. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the group 3 plasmalemma-predicted sulfate transporters (SULTR3) comprise five genes, all expressed in developing seeds, especially in the tissues surrounding the embryo. Here, we show that sulfur supply to seeds is unaffected by T-DNA insertions in the SULTR3 genes. However, remarkably, an increased accumulation of sulfate was found in mature seeds of four mutants out of five. In these mutant seeds, the ratio of sulfur in sulfate form versus total sulfur was significantly increased, accompanied by a reduction in free cysteine content, which varied depending on the gene inactivated. These results demonstrate a reduced capacity of the mutant seeds to metabolize sulfate and suggest that these transporters may be involved in sulfate translocation between seed compartments. This was further supported by sulfate measurements of the envelopes separated from the embryo of the sultr3;2 mutant seeds, which showed differences in sulfate partitioning compared with the wild type. A dissection of the seed proteome of the sultr3 mutants revealed protein changes characteristic of a sulfur-stress response, supporting a role for these transporters in providing sulfate to the embryo. The mutants were affected in 12S globulin accumulation, demonstrating the importance of intraseed sulfate transport for the synthesis and maturation of embryo proteins. Metabolic adjustments were also revealed, some of which could release sulfur from glucosinolates.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.110.162123","authors":["Hélène Zuber","Jean‐Claude Davidian","Grégoire Aubert","Delphine Aimé","Maya Belghazi","Raphaël Lugan","Dimitri Heintz","Markus Wirtz","Rüdiger Hell","Richard J.

A carbon emission accounting model for the construction phase was established based on the life cycle assessment method, and the effects of the bridge-tunnel ratio, subproject structure, and material and energy consumption on carbon emission intensity were systematically analyzed. On this basis, a regional carbon emission prediction model was developed and optimized using data from 21 completed expressways across the province. The results indicate that carbon emission intensity exhibits a significant topographic gradient, with mountainous regions showing higher values than hilly regions, and hilly regions higher than plain regions. The maximum carbon emission intensity in mountainous projects reaches 5.27 × 10⁷ kg CO₂/km, which is 2.86 times that of plain regions. As terrain complexity increases, the carbon emission structure shifts from being dominated by subgrade engineering and interchange engineering to being dominated by structural engineering, such as bridges and tunnels. In mountainous regions, emissions from structural engineering account for more than 50% of the total emissions. At the material level, cement and steel are identified as the primary emission sources, jointly accounting for 78% of total emissions in mountainous projects, and demonstrating the highest sensitivity to variations in total emissions. The prediction results show that the baseline model using the bridge-tunnel ratio as a single variable achieves a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.69. After incorporating material and energy consumption variables, the optimized XGBoost model improves the coefficient of determination to 0.9517, achieving high-accuracy prediction using only eight categories of material and energy consumption indicators. Based on the analytical results, differentiated emission reduction pathways are proposed. In mountainous regions, priority should be given to optimizing the design of tunnels and interchange engineering and controlling the intensity of high-carbon structural materials. In plain and hilly regions, emphasis should be placed on low-carbon design and construction optimization of bridge and culvert engineering and subgrade engineering.

The structure reveals that the 5'-end guanosine of the downstream RNA template interacts with a fingers domain pocket, with the base sandwiched by H44 and R277 side chains through hydrophobic stacking interactions, and these interactions are still maintained after one in-crystal translocation event induced by nucleotide incorporation, implying that the pocket could regulate the functional properties of the polymerase by interacting with RNA. When mutated, residue R277 showed an impact on virus proliferation in virological studies with residue H44 having a synergistic effect. In vitro biochemical data further suggest that mutations at these two sites affect RNA binding, EC stability, but not polymerase catalytic rate (kcat) and apparent NTP affinity (KM,NTP).

High-throughput amplicon sequencing is used to enumerate microbial and invertebrate communities at a high level of taxonomic resolution, but the method requires validation against traditional specimen-based morphological identifications. To investigate the consistency between these approaches, we enumerated nematodes from a 25-year field experiment using both morphological and molecular identification techniques in order to determine the long-term effects of annual burning and nitrogen enrichment on soil nematode communities. Family-level frequencies based on amplicon sequencing were not initially consistent with specimen-based counts, but correction for differences in rRNA gene copy number using a genetic algorithm improved quantitative accuracy. Multivariate analysis of corrected sequence-based abundances of nematode families was consistent with, but not identical to, analysis of specimen-based counts. In both cases, herbivores, fungivores and predator/omnivores generally were more abundant in burned than nonburned plots, while bacterivores generally were more abundant in nonburned or nitrogen-enriched plots. Discriminate analysis of sequence-based abundances identified putative indicator species representing each trophic group. We conclude that high-throughput amplicon sequencing can be a valuable method for characterizing nematode communities at high taxonomic resolution as long as rRNA gene copy number variation is accounted for and accurate sequence databases are available.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.12480","authors":["Brian J.

The intensification of thaw-driven mass wasting is transforming glacially conditioned permafrost terrain, coupling slopes with aquatic systems, and triggering a cascade of downstream effects. Within the context of recent, rapidly evolving climate controls on the geomorphology of permafrost terrain, we (A) quantify three-dimensional retrogressive thaw slump enlargement and describe the processes and thresholds coupling slopes to downstream systems, (B) investigate catchment-scale patterns of slope thermokarst impacts and the geomorphic implications, and (C) map the propagation of effects through hydrological networks draining permafrost terrain of northwestern Canada. Power-law relationships between retrogressive thaw slump area and volume (R2=0.90), as well as the thickness of permafrost thawed (R2=0.63), combined with the multi-decadal (1986–2018) increase in the areal extent of thaw slump disturbance, show a 2 order of magnitude increase in catchment-scale geomorphic activity and the coupling of slope and hydrological systems. Predominant effects are to first- and second-order streams where sediment delivery, often indicated by formation of recent debris tongue deposits, commonly exceeds the transport capacity of headwater streams by orders of magnitude, signaling centennial- to millennial-scale perturbation of downstream systems. Assessment of hydrological networks indicates that thaw-driven mass wasting directly affects over 5538 km of stream segments, 889 km of coastline, and 1379 lakes in the 994 860 km2 study area. Downstream propagation of slope thermokarst indicates a potential increase in the number of affected lakes by at least a factor of 4 (n>5692) and impacted stream length by a factor of 8 (>44 343 km), and it defines several major impact zones on lakes, deltas, and coastal areas. Prince of Wales Strait is the receiving marine environment for greatly increased sediment and geochemical fluxes from numerous slump-impacted hydrological networks draining Banks Island and Victoria Island. The Peel and Mackenzie rivers are globally significant conveyors of the slope thermokarst cascade, delivering effects to North America's largest Arctic delta and the Beaufort Sea. Climate-driven erosion of ice-rich slopes in permafrost-preserved glaciated terrain has triggered a time-transient cascade of downstream effects that signal the rejuvenation of post-glacial landscape evolution. Glacial legacy, ground-ice conditions, and continental drainage patterns dictate that terrestrial, freshwater, coastal, and marine environments of western Arctic Canada will be an interconnected hotspot of thaw-driven change through the coming millennia.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-15-3059-2021","authors":["Steven V.

Due to the extra cost of extending electric lines to rural villages, it is not feasible as the installing and commissioning costs are directly related to several constraints such as distance from the main grid, the land location, utilities to be used, and the size of the approximate load. Consequently, it becomes a challenge to apply technoeconomic strategies for rural electrification. Therefore, considering the above issues of rural electrification through grid power, the renewable energy system can be an attractive solution. This research analyzes different types of loads considering domestic, industrial, and agricultural requirements for a remote village in a developing country like Bangladesh. In this paper, four types of demand scenarios are developed considering the income level of inhabitants of the village. The investigation identifies the optimal scope for renewable energy-based electrification and provides a suitable technoeconomic analysis with the help of HOMER software. The obtained results show that a combined architecture containing solar panel, diesel generator, and battery power is a viable solution and economically beneficial. The optimal configuration suggested for the primary scenario consists of 25 kW diesel generators to fulfill the basic demand. The hybrid PV-diesel-battery system becomes the optimal solution while the demand restriction is removed for secondary, tertiary, and full-option scenarios. Commercial and productive loads are considered in the load profile for these three scenarios of supply. For the primary scenario of supply, the electricity cost remains high as $0.449/kWh. On the other hand, the lowest electricity cost ($0.30/kWh) is obtained for the secondary scenario. Although the suggested optimal PV-diesel-battery might not reduce the cost of electricity (COE) and NPC significantly, it is capable to reduce dependency on diesel utilization. Hence, the emission of carbon is reduced due to less utilization of diesel that helps to minimize the greenhouse effect on the environment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/7673937","authors":["Ahmed I.

These factors collectively shape project economics and influence investment decisions across regions. This paper presents a worldwide comparison of CO2 Capture, Transport, and Storage tariffs, analyzing how these diverse cost drivers affect pricing structures and ultimately determine the feasibility and competitiveness of CCUS projects in different global markets. This study applies a comparative analytical approach using publicly available worldwide CO2 transport and storage tariff data sourced from regulatory filings, national frameworks, project disclosures, and industry reports. Tariffs are reviewed alongside key cost-shaping factors, including geology, infrastructure maturity, regulatory design, market structure, and risk allocation. Each region is assessed to identify patterns, variations, and the underlying drivers behind cost differences. The analysis highlights how diverse tariff structures globally influence CCUS project feasibility, investment decisions, and overall value-chain competitiveness. In line with common industry practice, transport and storage costs are collectively referred to as \"storage tariffs\" when disaggregated data are unavailable. The analysis reveals substantial global variability in CCUS tariffs, with total costs (capture + transport + storage) ranging from approximately €20 to €140 per tonne of CO2, and a weighted average near €55/tCO2 under many \"mature\" conditions. Focusing on transport and storage (T&amp;S) costs effectively the \"storage tariff\" typical ranges are €5 to €45/tCO2 for onshore pipeline transport and injection, depending on distance, CO2 volume, reservoir geology, and monitoring requirements. In favorable geological regions, such as depleted oil and gas fields, T&amp;S costs are generally €15- €37/tCO2, while more challenging saline-aquifer storage sites often reach €35- €45/tCO2. Capture costs vary sharply with CO2 stream characteristics: high-purity streams from gas processing or natural gas operations often incur €25-€35/tCO2, whereas dilute streams from cement, steel, or power plants can range €70-€90/tCO2 or higher. Integrated industrial hubs, where multiple emitters share pipelines and storage facilities, significantly reduce per-tonne costs due to economies of scale and shared infrastructure. Overall, regions with low storage tariffs combined with favorable capture sources can achieve economically competitive CCUS. However, in many areas, total costs remain high, indicating that policy support, carbon pricing, or financial incentives are crucial to enable large-scale deployment globally. This paper offers a first‑of‑its‑kind structured, side‑by‑side comparison of global CCUS tariffs using a standardized economic framework with real world ranges, enabling engineers and project planners to benchmark cost competitiveness across geographies, storage types, and CO2 source characteristics. It fills a practical gap in literature by translating cost data into actionable tariff ranges for project feasibility assessments and design decisions. While prior studies focus on project-specific costs or modeled estimates, few provide a standardized, cross-regional tariff benchmark grounded in operational projects. The results demonstrate that transport and storage tariffs, often treated as secondary, are a decisive feasibility factor once capture costs are fixed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/233194-ms","authors":["Mohamed Mahmoud Abdelrahman","Nihal Darraj"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-23T00:02:52Z","doi":"10.2118/233194-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/d6el00064a/v2/response1","name":"Author response for \"Solar-driven Strategies in Carbon Capture Technologies\"","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d6el00064a/v2/response1","authors":["Sudipta Nayak","Sayan Kar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-10T21:04:38Z","doi":"10.1039/d6el00064a/v2/response1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100571","name":"Persulfate–derived porous wollastonite granules for accelerated CO2 mineralization and suitability for aggregate applications","source":"crossref","abstract":"• Porous wollastonite-based granules were synthesized • The fresh granules exhibited good initial strength for pre–carbonation handling • Granules synthesized with 20% pore forming agent achieved the best carbonation • Granules exhibited good mechanical strength and lightweight as artificial aggregates • Esterified variant of granules were thermally and water stable Mineral carbonation technology is a promising solution for CO 2 capture and utilization. To achieve large scale application of the technology, the challenges related to CO 2 diffusion and passivation by carbonate precipitation must be overcome. In this work, we demonstrate a route to high volume CO 2 capture by granulation and carbonation using wollastonite, polyvinyl alcohol (pva) and potassium persulfate. The wollastonite powder was granulated with 10% pva solution, incorporating 10–100 wt% of granulation fluid of potassium persulfate as pore–forming agent. The utility of some granules was extended by esterification reaction in citric acid solution. The granules were carbonated in a pressured reactor (10 bar, 100 °C) and the influence of pore–forming amount on carbonate passivation and CO 2 diffusion was studied by thermogravimetry, optical, electron microscopy and N 2 adsorption. The experiments revealed that 20% persulfate produced highly porous granules with an interconnected pore structure that reduced carbonate passivation and captured the highest amount of CO 2 (44mol%). Comparatively, mix designs with 0, 10 and 100 wt% persulfate showed low carbonation due to poor CO 2 diffusion attributed to surface passivation by carbonates and sulfates. Additionally, pore structure and surface modelling using Frankel–Halsey–Hill (FHH) fractal analysis concludes that 20% persulfate in both fresh and esterified granules produced a less tortuous and uniform pore structure with high interconnectivity, aiding CO 2 diffusion within the granules which resulted in high amount of carbonation products while preventing passivation. After carbonation, the aggregates maintained high strength and light weight, confirming their high potential as a high-volume CO 2 negative artificial lightweight aggregate in construction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100571","authors":["Prince Allah","Tero Luukkonen","Paivo Kinnunen","Priyadharshini Perumal"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-18T06:37:06Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100571","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.seppur.2025.135491","name":"Transformative recycling of binary plastics into nitrogen- and oxygen-rich nanoporous carbon for superior carbon dioxide capture performance","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seppur.2025.135491","authors":["Shaojie Zhou","Xinkai Li","Hongyu Feng","Rui Lou","João Daniel Santos Castro","Shurong Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-04T01:44:01Z","doi":"10.1016/j.seppur.2025.135491","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-95-4601-5_18","name":"Hydrogen Transportation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-95-4601-5_18","authors":["Pratibha Sharma"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-07T07:52:00Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-95-4601-5_18","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jcou.2026.103319","name":"Advancing synthetic fuel technology: A model study for the integration of direct air carbon capture and diesel synthesis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Direct air capture (DAC) integrated with solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC) and Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis is a promising way to produce carbon-neutral liquid fuels. However, the high demand for renewable electricity, particularly from electrolytic hydrogen production, and limited cross-process integration pose key challenges to this mode of production. This study addressed these constraints by modeling a fully integrated DAC–SOEC–FT diesel system using a commercial, equation-oriented simulation platform under steady-state conditions and assuming that renewable power supplied the SOEC unit. The process design incorporated thermal and process-level integration with waste heat from the calciner, FT reactor, and SOEC burner repurposed for internal heating and feed conditioning. System-derived byproducts (e.g., naphtha, purge gases) were used as internal fuels to minimize external energy inputs and avoid additional emissions. Results showed that under ideal thermal integration scenarios, the theoretical internal recovery of up to 78% of total process heat could substantially reduce reliance on external utilities. While SOEC remained the primary electricity consumer (29.8 MWh/t-diesel), internal energy recovery mitigated auxiliary demands. Cradle-to-gate CO 2 emissions were net-negative and reached –1.20 kg-CO 2 /kg-diesel in Japan and –1.56 kg-CO 2 /kg-diesel in Canada. These results emphasized the strong synergies unlocked by integrated system design and offered a pathway toward energy-efficient, carbon-negative synthetic diesel suited for hard-to-abate transport sectors. • Integrated system enables energy-efficient e-diesel from air-captured CO 2 . • Co-electrolysis and FT synthesis form a thermally integrated conversion route. • Heat recovery reduces external demand and improves process circularity. • System achieves net-negative emissions with minimal external utilities.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2026.103319","authors":["Alexander Guzman-Urbina","Tantiwatthanaphanich Thanapan","Jubil Joy","Karina Anaya","Jalil Shadbahr","Amit Kumar","Giovanna Gonzales-Calienes","Shinichirou Morimoto"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-10T16:42:08Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jcou.2026.103319","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.7082774","name":"Direct Air Capture in Europe’s 2050 Energy System: Integration, Storage and Cost Drivers","source":"crossref","abstract":"Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) can balance residual hard-to-abate greenhouse gas emissions, for example from air transport, the cement industry, and livestock agriculture. Today, there is a wide variety of cost estimates for DACCS, driven, to a significant extent, by differences in electricity cost. A holistic view on electricity costs requires the integration of DACCS into long-term energy system models. This paper distinguishes the different DACCS components (direct air capturing, carbon transport, and carbon storage) and integrates them into a European capacity expansion model for a fully decarbonised electricity system in 2050. Empirically, we explore how two dimensions affect the total system costs of DACCS. The first dimension varies the availability of CO2 storage locations. One alternative restricts storage locations to offshore in the North Sea, specifically depleted natural gas fields. The other alternative allows storage in suitable locations across Europe, including onshore sites. We find that limiting CO2 storage to North Sea sites increases overall capture costs by approximately 10%. The second dimension varies DACCS integration into the electricity system. We differentiate between three alternatives: fully isolated, fully integrated, and retrospectively added to an existing system. We find that neglecting system integration – i.e. treating direct air capture system as a stand-alone technology – increases capture costs by up to 30%.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.7082774","authors":["Maximilian Bernecker","Felix Müsgens"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-10T07:42:24Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.7082774","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/d6el00064a/v2/decision1","name":"Decision letter for \"Solar-driven Strategies in Carbon Capture Technologies\"","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d6el00064a/v2/decision1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-10T21:04:38Z","doi":"10.1039/d6el00064a/v2/decision1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-87501-4_6-1","name":"Enhancing Carbon Capture: The Role of Amine-Based Solvents in Mitigating CO2 Emissions","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-87501-4_6-1","authors":["Turkan Kopac"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-28T07:08:22Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-87501-4_6-1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-95-4601-5_6","name":"Thermochemical Cycles","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-95-4601-5_6","authors":["Pratibha Sharma"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-07T07:52:43Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-95-4601-5_6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/9783527850860.ch05","name":"Other Conversion Technologies","source":"crossref","abstract":"This chapter extends the discussion beyond conventional combustion and gasification by examining pyrolysis, hydrothermal, and reforming technologies, which provide alternative pathways for the efficient production of fuels and value-added products.

Hydrogen (H2), as a carbon-free energy carrier, possesses the highest mass energy density relative to other fuels, making it a promising candidate. The chemical energy of H2 can be harnessed through oxidation via a highly exothermic reaction. Nonetheless, the broad flammability range of H2 in air, along with flame instability and elevated temperatures, presents challenges to conventional H2 combustion. Catalytic H2 combustion (CHC) involves the recombination of oxygen (O2) and H2 on the surface of a catalyst. With CHC, the temperature can be easily controlled, thereby minimizing the risks associated with flashbacks and the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). CHC can be used directly for heat and power generation or to improve safety in H2-related applications by preventing the release of surplus H2 into the atmosphere at concentrations exceeding the lower flammability limit of H2 in air. Although the state-of-the-art catalysts for the CHC reaction are based on precious metals, ongoing research aims to discover alternative catalysts, understand the CHC mechanism over different catalysts, and develop new approaches to stabilize the H2 flame. This chapter reviews the efforts toward discovery and investigation of catalysts for the CHC reaction, the mechanism and kinetics involved, as well as applications of CHC for heat and power generation. Finally, the challenges associated with CHC and future research directions are discussed in the conclusion section.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.1014178","authors":["Zohreh Akbari"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-14T13:10:41Z","doi":"10.5772/intechopen.1014178","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jcou.2026.103371","name":"Leveraging critical properties of amines to predict CO2 capture by amine mixtures: ML/DL modeling and solubility evaluation","source":"crossref","abstract":"The growing need for efficient carbon management has intensified interest in amine-based CO 2 capture. In this study, we investigate how critical properties of amines can be leveraged to predict CO 2 capture efficiency in MDEA-based amine solutions. We develop and compare four Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) models namely Bayesian Neural Networks (BNN), Gradient Boosting Neural Networks (GrowNet), Gradient Boosting (GBoost), and the Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) using amine critical properties as input features to predict CO₂ solubility in mixed amine systems, which serves as a surrogate measure of capture performance. A comprehensive dataset compiled from 2969 experimental data from literature sources was curated to train and validate the models. Our results demonstrate that incorporating critical properties as inputs improves the accuracy of CO 2 solubility predictions in MDEA-based amine solutions compared to baseline models that neglect property-based descriptors. The performance comparison of the models reveals that the GBoost model delivers the best overall predictive performance, with the lowest MSE (0.078 ×10 - ⁴), MAE (0.160 ×10 - ²), and SD (0.090), along with the highest determination coefficient (R² = 0.994) on the test data.

Recent advances in nanostructured sorbents, advanced membranes, ionic liquids, and metal–organic frameworks have enabled CO 2 removal efficiencies exceeding 90 % while improving process performance and selectivity. The review further examines thermochemical, electrochemical, photocatalytic, biological, and mineralization pathways for converting captured CO 2 into synthetic fuels, value-added chemicals, and carbon-negative materials. Particular emphasis is placed on the integration of CCU with renewable energy systems, green hydrogen production, biomass valorization, and smart-grid infrastructures to establish circular and low-carbon energy networks. Emerging digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, Internet of Things platforms, and digital twins, are also analyzed for intelligent process optimization and predictive emissions management. The review identifies key technological barriers, research priorities, and future opportunities, providing a strategic roadmap for the deployment of next-generation CCU systems toward sustainable and carbon-neutral power sectors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/ijcre-2026-0103","authors":["Ravikumar Jayabal","Ruby Mishra","Savitha Radha Krishna Setty","Anshuman Jena","Imran Molvi","Muralidhar Bengaluru","Sarita Agrawal","Aseel Smerat","Kamakshi Priya Kumar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-26T22:01:37Z","doi":"10.1515/ijcre-2026-0103","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/su18168283","name":"Break-Even Carbon Pricing for Sustainable Carbon Capture and Utilization at Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Facilities: A Life-Cycle Environmental and Economic Assessment Under 2024 and 2050 Scenarios","source":"crossref","abstract":"Municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration with energy recovery is embedded in national decarbonization strategies but emits fossil CO2 from plastic-derived combustion, challenging the long-term sustainability of waste-to-energy systems. Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) offers a potential mitigation route, yet assessments rarely link technology economics, environmental performance, and the carbon-pricing instruments that would finance deployment. This study develops a break-even carbon-pricing framework integrating life-cycle CO2 emissions (LCCO2) and discounted annualized life-cycle cost (LCC; capital-recovery-factor annualization at a 4% real discount rate) for two CCU routes—methanation and methanol synthesis—applied to a 300 t/day Japanese incineration facility (84,000 t/y) under 2024 and 2050 energy-system conditions, thereby quantifying the environmental and the economic dimensions of sustainable CCU deployment in the waste sector. Two complementary indicators are distinguished: an incremental break-even carbon price, the price at which adding CCU to the existing waste-to-energy facility becomes economically neutral, and a plant-level cash balance price. Under the product-system boundary and photovoltaic-electrolysis hydrogen, both routes show lower life-cycle emissions than the baseline in both years; the magnitude—and, for methanation in 2024, the sign—of the net climate benefit depends on the downstream-use accounting boundary. The incremental break-even price for methanol falls from 20.3 × 104 JPY/t-CO2 (≈1293 USD/t-CO2) in 2024 to 1.90 × 104 JPY/t-CO2 (≈122 USD/t-CO2) in 2050, while that for methanation falls from 32.2 × 104 JPY/t-CO2 to 0.75 × 104 JPY/t-CO2 (≈48 USD/t-CO2)—about half the 2023 EU ETS average price—and approaches zero at approximately a one-third capital subsidy. This collapse is driven largely by the assumed hydrogen-price decline (100 → 20 JPY/Nm3); hydrogen-supply policy, rather than carbon pricing alone, therefore appears to be the dominant lever for making CCU at MSW incineration a viable contribution to sustainable, carbon-neutral waste management. Sensitivity analyses covering the discount rate (2–8%), plant scale (300–900 t/day), methane leakage, product-market absorption, and hydrogen delivered price premiums support the robustness of this sequencing conclusion.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18168283","authors":["Tianjiao Cheng","Hiroshi Onoda"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-12T14:45:06Z","doi":"10.3390/su18168283","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100606","name":"Methodology shapes the greenhouse gas mitigation potential of post-combustion CO2 capture: Insights from evaluation metrics and sensitivity analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"The contribution of post-combustion CO 2 capture (PCC) to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has been widely studied; however, differences in system boundaries and evaluation metrics hinder consistent comparisons across studies. Here, we analyzed GHG emissions from fossil-fueled power plants by systematically varying the system boundaries and functional units. Two bases were considered: electricity production and captured CO 2 . On the electricity basis, PCC retrofits reduced cradle-to-gate GHG emissions by approximately 50% compared with benchmark cases, thereby clarifying the mitigation potential across power systems. On the captured CO 2 basis, gate-to-gate accounting with direct CO 2 emissions revealed PCC could not achieve 70% of GHG emissions reduction in case of 90% of CO 2 capture rate due to additional utility consumption for CO 2 capture. Cradle-to-gate results clarified the relation between CO 2 capture and the energy transition. Of note, in decarbonized grid electricity scenario, PCC with liquified natural gas (LNG)-fired systems had worse cradle-to-gate GHG emissions than other systems due to unavoidable indirect emissions associated with LNG supply, resulting in 0.68 kg-CO 2 emit/kg-CO 2 cap. This study underscores the importance of appropriate boundaries and evaluation metrics and when evaluating PCC and provides guidance for the consistent assessment of CO 2 emission reduction technologies for carbon neutrality.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100606","authors":["Koki Yagihara","Hajime Ohno","Yasuhiro Fukushima"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-25T08:04:25Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100606","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100562","name":"Warm gas carbon dioxide capture from the anode off-gas in solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine hybrid power generation systems: A technoeconomic investigation considering economies-of-scale","source":"crossref","abstract":"• Warm-gas CO 2 capture with cost-of-capture of $74.87 (with TS&M) or $46.18 (without TS&M) per metric tonne of CO 2 • Economies-of-scale of carbon capture in SOFC-GT hybrid systems • Economies-of-scale of SOFC-GT hybrid systems • Labor costs and capital expenditure are the main driving factors for economies-of-scale The thermodynamic and economic performance of a warm gas pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology for CO2 capture directly from the anode off-gas in a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)-gas turbine (GT) hybrid power generation system is investigated. Warm gas CO 2 capture provides advantages over ambient temperature CO 2 capture by retaining water vapor in the anode off-gas, simplifying heat integration and preserving higher mass flows through the turbine, maximizing energy efficiency and downstream power generation. Four cases of a natural gas (NG)-powered SOFC-GT hybrid plants are compared: 10 MW and 50 MW systems without carbon capture, and 50 MW and 100 MW systems with carbon capture. At the 50 MW scale, the efficiency of the system without carbon capture achieves 75.32%-LHV and the system with carbon capture achieves 68.22%-LHV. This decrease in efficiency is governed by the loss of mass that moves through the turbine and the energy penalty associated with the heat needed for regeneration. The cost-of-capture of the warm gas PSA system is $74.87 (with TS&M) or $46.18 (without TS&M) per metric tonne of CO2. Efficiency improvements due to scaleup are marginal, nevertheless, the larger-scale hybrids are shown to be substantially more cost-effective. Comparing the 50 MW hybrid with carbon capture to the 100 MW hybrid, the specific plant cost decreases by 4.7% and the cost of electricity decreases by 5.4%. The analysis establishes warm gas PSA as a promising approach for integrating efficient and economic carbon capture into SOFC-GT hybrid power generation systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100562","authors":["Yee Lee Chen","Praneet Atul Chotalia","Fabian Rosner"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-07T16:59:26Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100562","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.33564/ijeast.2026.v11i02.018","name":"INTELLIGENT SOLAR-POWERED DIRECT AIR CAPTURE AND ELECTROCHEMICAL CARBON UTILIZATION: A MACHINE LEARNINGENHANCED MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION AND SLIDING MODE CONTROL FRAMEWORK FOR NET-ZERO INDUSTRIAL DECARBONIZATION","source":"crossref","abstract":"The urgent need to achieve net-zero decarbonization in the industrial sector is accelerating the research and development of innovative renewable energy-powered carbon capture and utilization technologies. Among these, the pathway that combines direct air capture (DAC) with electrochemical carbon utilization can not only deliver negative emissions, but also produce high-value chemicals simultaneously, making it a highly promising technical direction at present. However, when this energy-intensive process is integrated with intermittent solar energy, it faces three core challenges related to system operation efficiency, working condition stability, and economic feasibility. To address these issues, this study proposes a new intelligent control framework that integrates machine learningaugmented multi-objective optimization and robust sliding mode control. This framework adopts a hierarchical structure: a neural network multi-objective optimization module dynamically balances four core goals, namely maximizing energy efficiency, raising the carbon capture rate, increasing product output, and minimizing economic costs; a robust sliding mode controller ensures stable system operation under variable sunlight and fluctuating loads; and a supporting deep reinforcement learning module adjusts operating parameters in real time based on weather forecasts, energy demand, and market prices. This study completed simulation and experimental verification on a 10kW pilot-scale test system. Compared with the traditional PI control scheme, the overall system efficiency increased by 23%, the carbon capture rate stayed above 85% in weak-sunlight environments, voltage fluctuations dropped by 67%, and the deviation in electrochemical conversion rate was less than 3%. The economic analysis of the full 20-year operation cycle shows that the levelized cost of carbon capture decreased by 31%, the net present value rose by 45%, and deploying a 1MW commercial system can achieve annual cost savings of approximately 180,000 US dollars. This paper sorts out the three core academic contributions and two research limitations to be optimized of this study, fully presenting the core value of this original research and the room for subsequent improvement. This study proposes that economically viable solar-powered carbon capture systems can be widely deployed across industrial scenarios, while also accelerating the implementation of climate targets, creating new economic opportunities in the carbon utilization sector, and advancing sustainable industrial transformation and environmental governance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.33564/ijeast.2026.v11i02.018","authors":["Adel Elgammal"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-25T07:46:23Z","doi":"10.33564/ijeast.2026.v11i02.018","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:23.816Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100625","name":"An improved open-access steady state model for flue gas CO2 capture with monoethanolamine","source":"crossref","abstract":"The U.S. Department of Energy’s Carbon Capture Simulation Initiative (CCSI) developed a “gold-standard” steady state CO 2 capture process model in 2018 for aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) solvent.

Here, we show how these limitations affect the accuracy of model predictions compared to large-scale pilot data and present results from an improved MEA-CO 2 capture model which utilises a new combination of mass transfer and thermodynamic/chemistry models. The new process model more closely predicts CO 2 capture rate across the wide range of process conditions and equipment scale investigated in this study. The root mean square deviation between predicted capture rate and measured data is reduced to 2.1 pp (percentage points) versus 5.3 pp using the CCSI model for 23 test cases from 3 different facilities. The accuracy improvements are particularly substantial (up to 8 pp) for emission sources with low CO 2 concentration, such as combined cycle gas turbines, and for absorber designs where mass transfer is not constrained by equilibrium.

After the fire a new litter layer starts to accumulate on top of the charcoal layer, which liberates water‐soluble compounds that percolate through the charcoal and the unburned humus layer. We first hypothesized that since charcoal has the capacity to adsorb organic compounds it may form a new habitat for microbes, which decompose the adsorbed compounds. Secondly, we hypothesized that the charcoal may cause depletion of decomposable organic carbon in the underlying humus and thus reduce the microbial biomass. To test our hypotheses we prepared microcosms, where we placed non‐heated humus and on top one of the adsorbents: non‐adsorptive pumice (Pum), charcoal from Empetrum nigrum (EmpCh), charcoal from humus (HuCh) or activated carbon (ActC). We watered them with birch leaf litter extract. The adsorbing capacity increased in the order Pum org in the litter extract, respectively. After one month, all adsorbents harboured microbes, but their amount and basal respiration was largest in EmpCh and HuCh, and smallest in Pum. In addition, different kinds of microbial communities with respect to their phospholipid fatty acid and substrate utilization patterns were formed in the adsorbents. The amount of microbial biomass and number of bacteria did not differ between humus under different adsorbents, although different microbial communities developed in humus under EmpCh compared with Pum, which is obviously related to the increased pH of the humus under EmpCh, and also ActC. We suggest that charcoal from burning can support microbial communities, which are small in size but have a higher specific growth rate than those of the humus. Although the charcoal layer induces changes in the microbial community of the humus, it does not reduce the amount of humus microbes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1034/j.1600-0706.2000.890203.x","authors":["Janna Pietikäinen","Oili Kiikkilä","Hannu Fritze"],"tags":["Humus","Charcoal","Chemistry","Microbial population biology","Litter"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2000-05-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1034/j.1600-0706.2000.890203.x","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W4281951165","name":"Halogen Storage Electrode Materials for Rechargeable Batteries","source":"openalex","abstract":"The ever‐increasing demand for rechargeable batteries with high energy density, abundant resources, and high safety has pushed the development of various battery technologies based on cation, anion, or dual‐ion transfer.

The analysis indicates that C and N balances were sensitive to model parameters regulating ECM biomass and decomposition. Under low N availability, the optimal C allocation to ECM fungi, above which the symbiosis switches from mutualism to parasitism, increases with increasing relative involvement of ECM fungi in SOM decomposition. Under low N conditions, increased ECM organic N mining promotes tree growth but decreases soil C storage, leading to a negative correlation between C stores above- and below-ground.

MgO and Mg(OH)2 were synthesized from the salt Mg(NO3)·6H2O by performing hydrothermal reactions with various precipitating agents. The precipitating agents were NaOH, KOH, NH3, NH3 with pamoic acid (PA), or (NH4)2CO3. The result shows that the selection of the precipitating agent has a significant impact on the crystallite structure, size, and shape of the final products. Of the precipitating agents tested, only NaOH and NH3 with PA produce single-phase Mg(OH)2 as the as-synthesized product. Pore size distribution analyses revealed that the surfaces of the as-synthesized MgO have a slit-like pore structure with a broad-type pore size distribution, whereas the as-synthesized Mg(OH)2 has a mesoporous structure with a narrow pore size distribution. This structure enhances the latent heat of the phase change material (PCM) as well as super cooling mitigation. The PEG/Mg(OH)2 PCM also exhibits reproducible behavior over a large number of thermal cycles. Both MgO and Mg(OH)2 matrices prevent the leakage of liquid PEG during the phase transition in phase change materials (PCMs). However, MgO/PEG has a low impregnation ratio and efficiency, with a low thermal storage capability. This is due to the large pore diameter, which does not allow MgO to retain a larger amount of PEG. The latent heat values of PEG-1000/PEG-6000 blends with MgO and Mg(OH)2 were also determined with a view to extending the application of the PCMs to energy storage over wider temperature ranges.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/nano9121773","authors":["Md.

Integrated sheep-vineyard (ISV) management, where small ruminant livestock graze on understory vegetation, is viewed by some practitioners as a feasible transition opportunity to facilitate less petrochemically intensive vineyard understory management. However, our knowledge of soil carbon dynamics associated with grazing in perennial integrated crop-livestock (ICL) agroecosystems is notably limited, especially within Mediterranean climate contexts. Here, we use a series of on-farm paired surveys to assess soil ecosystem habitat and resource conditions related to SOC flux and storage in vineyards utilizing sheep-integration (ISV) and conventional understory management techniques (CONV). Our results show that long-term grazing increased the quantity of active, labile, and soluble carbon (C) within ISV soils, with much higher quantities of microbial biomass carbon (MBC). Vineyard soils with sheep grazing also showed increases in phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) biomarkers, particularly amongst core functional groups related to decomposition. Soil microbial communities under ISV had higher C mineralization rates as well as higher carbon use-efficiency, as indicated by less CO2-C respired relative to the size of the MBC pool. Whereas inorganic soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) were also higher under ISV, microbial communities showed distinct metabolic investment strategies related to nutrient acquisition, with lower P-cycling enzyme activity and higher N-cycling enzyme activity. Additionally, ISV resulted in an increase in subsoil SOC storage, including higher quantities of physicochemical stabilization in the mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) pool of the deepest measured subsoil layer (30–45 cm). We observed no differences in soil structure indicators between treatments nor differences in the carbon fractions associated with four distinct aggregate size categories. We propose a framework to explain observed shifts in SOC dynamics of perennial ICL systems that include i) deposition of C and nutrient inputs with higher lability and solubility; ii) ruminant-induced decoupling of C from N and P, resulting in increased nutrient bioavailability; and iii) altered soil microbial metabolic strategies with more efficient biomass accumulation. These findings show strong potential of strategically applied ICL grazing to enhance soil functioning and increase SOC storage in Mediterranean perennial agroecosystems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2023.116598","authors":["Kelsey M.

We find that biorefineries using feedstocks and pretreatment methods that lead to higher carbon emissions from fermentation and anaerobic digestion tend to have lower average carbon capture costs. Biorefineries with high biomass to ethanol yields, such as those using dilute acid pretreatment, can capture high percentages of the carbon in the feedstock if energy is purchased, but less excess energy available from residue combustion limits carbon capture at an energetically self-sufficient biorefinery. Biorefineries that use feedstocks with high lignin content or have low energy requirements produce the most excess energy, which enables higher capture rates.

We employ a sociotechnical approach to answer these questions, identify barriers to decarbonise the ceramics industry, and present promising avenues for future research.

Solar and wind resources are presented as the two most promising alternatives in the future energy mix. However, the inherent fluctuations of these two resources jeopardize the stability of the grid. To overcome this issue, the combination of intermittent and non-intermittent renewable energies along with different storage technologies is proposed. In this work, the integration of these technologies is evaluated using different future scenarios. Three renewable resources have been analyzed (solar, wind, and biomass) in combination with four different storage systems (battery, hydrogen, methane, and ammonia). This problem has been evaluated from two different perspectives, economic and social (for which a new indicator is developed). Particularly, this methodology is applied to Spain where different provinces have been assessed to implement these integrated facilities. The results show the paramount importance of using storage alternatives to satisfy the demand and to store energy seasonally. In economic terms, an average cost of electricity of about 100–200 €/MWh is expected with a high influence of the ratios of wind and solar in the different locations and the selected storage alternatives. Additionally, the proposed social index indicates the regions where these facilities could be installed to mitigate social inequalities. With this two-pronged approach, an orderly, fair, and efficient planning of the energy transition can be realized to achieve climate sustainability goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2021.115056","authors":["Antonio Sánchez","Qi Zhang","Mariano Martı́n","Pastora Vega"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Environmental economics","Energy storage","Wind power","Work (physics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2021.115056","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W2168688089","name":"Restoring degraded tropical forests for carbon and biodiversity","source":"openalex","abstract":"The extensive deforestation and degradation of tropical forests is a significant contributor to the loss of biodiversity and to global warming.Restoration could potentially mitigate the impacts of deforestation, yet knowledge on how to efficiently allocate funding for restoration is still in its infancy.We systematically prioritize investments in restoration in the tropical landscape of East Kalimantan, Indonesia, and through this application demonstrate the capacity to account for a diverse suite of restoration techniques and forests of varying condition.To achieve this we develop a map of forest degradation for the region, characterized on the basis of aboveground biomass and differentiated by broad forest types.We estimate the costs of restoration as well as the benefits in terms of carbon sequestration and improving the suitability of habitat for threatened mammals through time.When the objective is solely to enhance carbon stocks, then restoration of highly degraded lowland forest is the most cost-effective activity.However, if the objective is to improve the habitat of threatened species, multiple forest types should be restored and this reduces the accumulated carbon by up to 24%.Our analysis framework provides a transparent method for prioritizing where and how restoration should occur in heterogeneous landscapes in order to maximize the benefits for carbon and biodiversity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/9/11/114020","authors":["Sugeng Budiharta","Erik Meijaard","Peter D.

However, the fate of the flux of carbon exported from seaweed forests—the world’s largest coastal vegetated ecosystem—is a key unknown in marine carbon budgets. Here we provide national and global estimates for seaweed-derived particulate carbon export below 200 m depth, which totalled 3–4% of the ocean carbon sink capacity. We characterized export using models of seaweed forest extent, production and decomposition, as well as shelf–open ocean water exchange. On average, 15% of seaweed production is estimated to be exported across the continental shelf, which equates to 56 TgC yr−1 (range: 10–170 TgC yr−1). Using modelled sequestration timescales below 200 m depth, we estimated that each year, 4–44 Tg seaweed-derived carbon could be sequestered for 100 years. Determining the full extent of seaweed carbon sequestration remains challenging, but critical to guide efforts to conserve seaweed forests, which are in decline globally. Our estimate does not include shelf burial and dissolved and refractory carbon pathways; still it highlights a relevant potential contribution of seaweed to natural carbon sinks.

The mechanism analysis reveals that Fintech reduces CCEs via alleviating financing constraints, improving energy efficiency, and promoting green innovation. Heterogeneity analysis demonstrates that Fintech dramatically decreases CCEs from coal energy consumption, while increasing CCEs from consuming power and gas energy. Additionally, carbon emissions from state‐owned and foreign companies experience a more pronounced reduction through Fintech compared to those from private firms. Furthermore, firms in eastern and middle regions are more vulnerable to Fintech development.

The emerging challenges posed by global environmental changes and the stringent needs to enhance C storage call for more research on the potential of soil biosolids incorporation as a sustainable C storage practice. This review addresses the potential of C sequestration of agricultural soils and opencast mines amended with biosolids and its biological regulation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/821768","authors":["Silvana Irene Torri","Rodrigo Studart Corrêa","Giancarlo Renella"],"tags":["Biosolids","Environmental science","Carbon sequestration","Soil water","Soil carbon"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2014-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/821768","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W2526491654","name":"Can C-band synthetic aperture radar be used to estimate soil organic carbon storage in tundra?","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract. A new approach for the estimation of soil organic carbon (SOC) pools north of the tree line has been developed based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR; ENVISAT Advanced SAR Global Monitoring mode) data. SOC values are directly determined from backscatter values instead of upscaling using land cover or soil classes. The multi-mode capability of SAR allows application across scales. It can be shown that measurements in C band under frozen conditions represent vegetation and surface structure properties which relate to soil properties, specifically SOC. It is estimated that at least 29 Pg C is stored in the upper 30 cm of soils north of the tree line. This is approximately 25 % less than stocks derived from the soil-map-based Northern Circumpolar Soil Carbon Database (NCSCD). The total stored carbon is underestimated since the established empirical relationship is not valid for peatlands or strongly cryoturbated soils. The approach does, however, provide the first spatially consistent account of soil organic carbon across the Arctic. Furthermore, it could be shown that values obtained from 1 km resolution SAR correspond to accounts based on a high spatial resolution (2 m) land cover map over a study area of about 7 × 7 km in NE Siberia. The approach can be also potentially transferred to medium-resolution C-band SAR data such as ENVISAT ASAR Wide Swath with ∼ 120 m resolution but it is in general limited to regions without woody vegetation. Global Monitoring-mode-derived SOC increases with unfrozen period length. This indicates the importance of this parameter for modelling of the spatial distribution of soil organic carbon storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-13-5453-2016","authors":["Annett Bartsch","Barbara Widhalm","Peter Kuhry","Gustaf Hugelius","Juri Palmtag","Matthias Siewert"],"tags":["Tundra","Synthetic aperture radar","Soil carbon","Environmental science","Remote sensing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-09-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-13-5453-2016","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W4396712359","name":"A review of influencing factors for policy interventions in the deployment of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is a key negative emission technology considered by many integrated assessment models (IAMs) to achieve the 2℃ or 1.5℃ goals in the Paris Agreement. However, the technical feasibility and economic costs of BECCS in these IAMs have been widely debated, which increases the uncertainty in the projection of climate change in the 21st century. Therefore, this paper reviews the latest understanding of BECCS. The key findings reveal the limitations of current models in projecting the capacity and costs of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), mainly due to insufficient consideration of ecological consequences, including availabilities of biomass and difficulties in the transportation of biomass and CO2. To reduce uncertainties in the capacity and costs of BECCS, it is urgently needed to apply spatially explicit method for estimating the life-cycle emissions and the complete cost items when deploying BECCS, optimize the network of biomass acquisition, power plants retrofitting and transportation of biomass and CO2, and represent the changes in the availability of biomass (for different types of bioenergy plants) under the impacts of climate change. This paper emphasizes the gap between the potential capacity of BECCS and the demand for BECCS that is needed to achieve the climate goals. Suggestion on policy interventions is provided to accelerate the application of BECCS from the aspects of economic tools, regulatory tools, and information tools. Deployment of BECCS could be accelerated to halt the rapid rise of global annual average temperature and reduce the risk of carbon lock-in from fossil-fuel supply infrastructure. As BECCS could play a key role in achieving ambitious climate targets, it is important to maintain a balance between environmental, social, and economic considerations in the Earth system under a high sustainability of development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nxsust.2024.100040","authors":["Xiaofan Xing","Yuankang Xiong","Rong Wang","Yuan Gao","Siqing Xu","Philippe Ciais","Thomas Gasser","Josep Peñuelas","Jordi Sardans","Jianmin Chen","Xu Tang","Renhe Zhang"],"tags":["Software deployment","Bioenergy","Psychological intervention","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Environmental economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nxsust.2024.100040","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W4213187902","name":"Carbon Monoxide Fate in the Environment as an Inspiration For Biorefinery Industry: A Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon monoxide (CO) is ubiquitous in the environment.

Crucially, it is not known how much CDR is currently deployed at a global scale, nor how that compares to mitigation scenario estimates. Here, we address this problem by developing an estimate of global current CDR activity. We draw on national greenhouse gas inventory data combined with CDR registries and commercial databases to estimate that global anthropogenic activity presently generates ∼1985 MtCO2yr−1 of atmospheric removals. Almost all of these—1983 MtCO2yr−1—are removals from land-use, land-use change and forestry. Non-land-management CDR projects such as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, direct air capture with carbon capture and storage and biochar remove only about 2 MtCO2yr−1. We compare this estimate with Shared Socioeconomic Pathways projections of CDR deployed in ‘well-below 2°C’ mitigation pathways. In so doing we demonstrate current CDR deployment would need to grow exponentially to keep the world aligned with most ‘well-below 2°C’ scenarios, which see CDR deployment growing between 75% and 100% per year between 2020 and 2030, adding ∼300–2500 MtCO2 in total CDR capacity. To conclude we discuss uncertainties related to our estimates, and suggest priorities for the future collection and management of CDR data, particularly related to the role of the land sink in generating CDR.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/acb450","authors":["Carter M.

Here, water and carbon monoxide molecules react to generate hydrogen and carbon dioxide. From the thermodynamics aspect, pressure does not have an impact, whereas low-temperature conditions are suitable for high hydrogen selectivity because of the exothermic nature of the WGSR reaction. The performance of this reaction can be greatly enhanced in the presence of suitable catalysts. The WGSR has been widely studied due do the industrial significance resulting in a good volume of open literature on reactor design and catalyst development. A number of review articles are also available on the fundamental aspects of the reaction, including thermodynamic analysis, reaction condition optimization, catalyst design, and deactivation studies. Over the past few decades, there has been an exceptional development of the catalyst characterization techniques such as near-ambient x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NA-XPS) and in situ transmission electron microscopy (in situ TEM), providing atomic level information in presence of gases at elevated temperatures. These tools have been crucial in providing nanoscale structural details and the dynamic changes during reaction conditions, which were not available before. The present review is an attempt to gather the recent progress, particularly in the past decade, on the catalysts for low-temperature WGSR and their structural properties, leading to new insights that can be used in the future for effective catalyst design. For the ease of reading, the article is divided into subsections based on metals (noble and transition metal), oxide supports, and carbon-based supports. It also aims at providing a brief overview of the reaction conditions by including a table of catalysts with synthesis methods, reaction conditions, and key observations for a quick reference. Based on our study of literature on noble metal catalysts, atomic Pt substituted Mn 3 O 4 shows almost full CO conversion at 260 °C itself with zero methane formation. In the case of transition metals group, the inclusion of Cu in catalytic system seems to influence the CO conversion significantly, and in some cases, with CO conversion improvement by 65% at 280 °C. Moreover, mesoporous ceria as a catalyst support shows great potential with reports of full CO conversion at a low temperature of 175 °C.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s42247-020-00116-y","authors":["Parisa Ebrahimi","Anand Kumar","Majeda Khraisheh"],"tags":["Water-gas shift reaction","Catalysis","Hydrogen production","Exothermic reaction","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-08-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s42247-020-00116-y","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W4388275106","name":"Smart nanoparticles for cancer therapy","source":"openalex","abstract":"Smart nanoparticles, which can respond to biological cues or be guided by them, are emerging as a promising drug delivery platform for precise cancer treatment.

Following physicochemical, structural, morphological, and porosity characterization, the CO 2 adsorption performance was evaluated at low pressures (up to 100 mbar) and at different temperatures (25, 45, and 60 °C), including determination of CO 2 adsorption–desorption, kinetics, CO 2 /N 2 selectivity, regeneration/cycling, heat of adsorption, and CO 2 adsorption under humid conditions. The unique hierarchical silica framework together with the aminosilanization scheme applied resulted in enhanced kinetics and CO 2 uptake, the latter being increased with temperature, thus revealing a dominant chemisorption mechanism, which was further evidenced by the increase in the enthalpy of adsorption of the modified materials compared to the pristine OHNS. Among the tested adsorbents, at 100 mbar and 25 °C, the OHNS modified by AAMS yielded the highest CO 2 uptake under dry (1.3 mmol/g) and wet (1.9 mmol/g) conditions. Notably, at very low pressure (1 mbar), the CO 2 capacity of OHNS-AAMS reached >40% of the material’s total uptake at 1 bar. Compared to the unmodified OHNS, the CO 2 capacity of the OHNS-AAMS and OHNS-ABTS increased by approximately 21- and 16-fold, respectively, at 1 mbar and 25 °C. At even lower pressure (0.4 mbar), a capacity of 0.55 mmol/g was evidenced for OHNS-AAMS in dry CO 2 . A very high CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of the AAMS-modified analogue at low pressure was also obtained, i.e., 13,854 at 50 mbar, confirming the significant increase in CO 2 -philicity via aminosilanization with aminosilanes bearing combined primary and secondary amine groups. Furthermore, the water affinity of the aminosilane-modified OHNS adsorbents was found to decrease, which is beneficial for capture from humid mixtures.

Such scenarios become more pertinent in the wake of rapid decarbonization objectives adopted by different countries, stringent grid code compliance, and improved grid resilience milestones.

This paper reviews different forms of storage technology available for grid application and classifies them on a series of merits relevant to a particular category. The varied maturity level of these solutions is discussed, depending on their adaptability and their notion towards pragmatic implementations.

The CO₂ emissions are significantly increasing due to continuing increase of Southeast Asian countries. Energy utilization contributes to CO 2 emissions on earth because the energy sector produces 32,553.48 MtCO 2 of CO 2, or about 73% of total CO₂ emissions (WRI, 2019). The power sector alone accounted for approximately two-thirds of the emissions rise, indirectly warming the climate system, earth's temperature, and sea level. As a result, several governments have enacted policies to increase solar energy's share of the energy mix to minimize dependence on fossil fuels and environmental devastation. Therefore, this review paper presents a survey of solar energy policies implemented in Southeast Asian countries, specifically Malaysia, and assesses effective existing solar energy strategies in developed countries. Moreover, the implementation of Net Energy Metering needed for the advancing and widespread use of renewable energy technologies is also reviewed.

The activation conditions were optimized to produce microporous carbons with high CO2 adsorption capacity and CO2/N2 selectivity. The sample prepared by physical activation showed CO2/N2 selectivity of up to 24, much higher than that of chemical activation. This is mainly due to the narrower microporosity and the rich N content produced during the physical activation process. However, physical activation samples showed inferior textural properties compared to chemical activation samples and led to a lower CO2 uptake of 3.37 mmol·g−1 at 273 K. Porous carbons obtained by chemical activation showed a high CO2 uptake of 5.85 mmol·g−1 at 273 K, comparable to the optimum activated carbon materials prepared from other wastes. This is mainly attributed to large volumes of ultra-micropores (<1 nm) up to 0.212 cm3·g−1 and a high surface area of 1360 m2·g−1.

Here we reveal the spatiotemporal dynamics of carbon sorption and release within model clay aggregates and the role of enzymatic decomposition by directly imaging a transparent smectite clay on a microfluidic chip. We demonstrate that clay-carbon protection is due to the quasi-irreversible sorption of high molecular-weight sugars within clay aggregates and the exclusion of bacteria from these aggregates.

In order to meet the ambitious European transport sector emissions reduction targets, a rapid transition to zero-carbon road-freight is necessary. However, limited policy assessments indicate where and how to appropriately intervene in this sector. To support policy-makers in accelerating the zero-carbon road-freight transition, this paper examines the relative cost competitiveness between commercial vehicles of varying alternative drive-technologies through a total cost of ownership (TCO) assessment. We identify key parameters that, when targeted, enable the uptake of these more sustainable niche technologies. The assessment is based on a newly compiled database of cost parameters which were triangulated through expert interviews. The results show that cost competitiveness for low- or zero-emission niche technologies in certain application segments and European countries is exhibited already today. In particular, we find battery electric vehicles to show great promise in the light- and medium-duty segments, but also in the heavy-duty long-haul segments in countries that have enacted targeted policy measures. Three TCO parameters drive this competitiveness: tolls, fuel costs, and CAPEX subsidies. Based on our analysis, we propose that policy-makers target OPEX before CAPEX parameters as well utilize a mix of policy interventions to ensure greater reach, increased efficiency, and increased policy flexibility.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2021.118079","authors":["Bessie Noll","Santiago del Val","Tobias S.

Variability in sampling techniques (pits versus core samples), depths, increments for analysis, and analytical procedures (wet oxidation versus dry combustion) can influence reported SOC values.

Although SOM storage could be affected by global changes via altered plant productivity, we know relatively little about SOM stabilisation and turnover in tropical forests compared to temperate systems. Here, we investigated changes in soil C and N within particle size fractions representing particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) after 13 years of experimental litter removal (L−) and litter addition (L+) treatments in a lowland tropical forest. We hypothesized that reduced nitrogen (N) availability in L− plots would result in N-mining of MAOM, whereas long-term litter addition would increase POM, without altering the C:N ratio of SOM fractions. Overall, SOM-N declined more than SOM-C with litter removal, providing evidence of N-mining in the L− plots, which increased the soil C:N ratio. However, contrary to expectations, the C:N ratio increased most in the largest POM fraction, whereas the C:N ratio of MAOM remained unchanged. We did not observe the expected increases in POM with litter addition, which we attribute to rapid turnover of unprotected SOM. Measurements of ion exchange rates to assess changes in N availability and soil chemistry revealed that litter removal increased the mobility of ammonium-N and aluminium, whereas litter addition increased the mobility of nitrate-N and iron, which could indicate SOM priming in both treatments. Our study suggests that altered litter inputs affect multiple processes contributing to SOM storage and we propose potential mechanisms to inform future work.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10533-020-00747-7","authors":["Emma J.

A review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Cropping systems require careful nitrogen (N) management to increase the sustainability of agricultural production. One important route towards enhanced sustainability is to increase nitrogen use efficiency. Improving nitrogen use efficiency encompasses increasing N uptake, N utilization efficiency, and N harvest index, each involving many crop physiological mechanisms and agronomic traits. Here, we review recent developments in cultural practices, cultivar choice, and breeding regarding nitrogen use efficiency. We add a comparative analysis of our own research on designing breeding strategies for nitrogen use efficiency in leafy and non-leafy vegetables, literature on breeding for nitrogen use efficiency in other vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower), and literature on breeding for nitrogen use efficiency in grain crops. We highlight traits that are generic across species, demonstrate how traits contributing to nitrogen use efficiency differ among crops, and show how cultural practice affects the relevance of these traits. Our review indicates that crops harvested in their early or late vegetative phase or reproductive phase differ in traits relevant to improve nitrogen use efficiency. Head-forming crops (lettuce, cabbage) depend on the prolonged photosynthesis of outer leaves to provide the carbon sources for continued N supply and growth of the photosynthetically less active, younger inner leaves. Grain crops largely depend on prolonged N availability for uptake and on availability of N in stover for remobilization to the grains. Improving root performance is relevant for all crop types, but especially short-cycle vegetable crops benefit from early below-ground vigor. We conclude that there is sufficient genetic variation available among modern cultivars to further improve nitrogen use efficiency but that it requires integration of agronomy, crop physiology, and efficient selection strategies to make rapid progress in breeding. We also conclude that discriminative traits related to nitrogen use efficiency better express themselves under low input than under high input. However, testing under both low and high input can yield cultivars that are adapted to low-input conditions but also respond to high-input conditions. The benefits of increased nitrogen use efficiency through breeding are potentially large but realizing these benefits is challenged by the huge genotype-by-environment interaction and the complex behavior of nitrogen in the cropping system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13593-017-0457-3","authors":["E.

Early detection of fungal infection plays a key role in the control of aflatoxin contamination. Therefore, different methods, including culture, chromatographic techniques, and molecular assays, are used to determine aflatoxin contamination in crops and food products. Many countries have set a maximum limit of aflatoxin contamination (2-20 ppb) in their food and agriculture commodities for human or animal consumption, and the use of different methods to combat this menace is essential. Fungal infection mostly takes place during the pre- and post-harvest stage of crops, and most of the methods to control aflatoxin are employed for the latter phase. Studies have shown that if correct measures are adopted during the crop development phase, aflatoxin contamination can be reduced by a significant level. Currently, the use of bio-pesticides is the intervention employed in many countries, whereby atoxigenic strains competitively reduce the burden of toxigenic strains in the field, thereby helping to mitigate this problem.

As a result, using advanced RL algorithms to solve various EV dispatch problems has attracted a surge of attention in recent years, leading to many outstanding research papers and important findings. This paper provides a comprehensive review of popular RL algorithms categorized by single-agent RL and multi-agent RL, and summarizes how these advanced algorithms can be applied to various EV dispatch problems, including grid-to-vehicle (G2V), vehicle-to-home (V2H), and V2G. Finally, key challenges and important future research directions are discussed, which involve five aspects: (a) data quality and availability; (b) environment setup; (c) safety and robustness; (d) training performance; and (e) real-world deployment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2022.113052","authors":["Dawei Qiu","Yi Wang","Weiqi Hua","Goran Štrbac"],"tags":["Reinforcement learning","Computer science","Flexibility (engineering)","Electric power system","Renewable energy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-11-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2022.113052","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W3157250556","name":"Sizing, optimization, control and energy management of hybrid renewable energy system—A review","source":"openalex","abstract":"To meet fast growing in energy demand, all energy sources have to be exploited.

This work represents one of the first at tempts to apply BO and high-fidelity physics models to geological carbon storage. The implicit parallel accurate reservoir simulator (IPARS) is utilized to accurately capture the underlying physical processes during CO2 sequestration. IPARS provides a framework for several flow and mechanics models and thus supports both stand-alone and coupled simulations. In this work, we use the compositional flow module to simulate the geological carbon storage process. The compositional flow model, which includes a hysteretic three-phase relative permeability model, accounts for three major CO2 trapping mechanisms: structural trapping, residual gas trapping, and solubility trapping. Furthermore, IPARS is coupled to the International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation Bayesian Optimization Accelerator (BOA) for parallel optimizations of CO2 injection strategies during field-scale CO2 sequestration. BO builds a probabilistic surrogate for the objective function using a Bayesian machine learning algorithm—the Gaussian process regression, and then uses an acquisition function that leverages the uncertainty in the surrogate to decide where to sample. The IBM BOA addresses the three weaknesses of standard BO that limits its scalability in that IBM BOA supports parallel (batch) executions, scales better for high-dimensional problems, and is more robust to initializations. We demonstrate these merits by applying the algorithm in the optimization of the CO2 injection schedule in the Cranfield site in Mississippi, USA, using field data. The optimized injection schedule achieves 16% more gas storage volume and 56% less water/surfactant usage compared with the baseline. The performance of BO is compared with that of a genetic algorithm (GA) and a covariance matrix adaptation (CMA)-evolution strategy (ES). The results demonstrate the superior performance of BO, in that it achieves a competitive objective function value with over 60% fewer forward model evaluations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eng.2022.06.011","authors":["Xueying Lu","Kirk E.

The process was once thought to be driven by oxygen delivered to deep petroleum reservoirs by meteoric water. This paradigm has been replaced by a view that the process is anaerobic and frequently associated with methanogenic hydrocarbon degradation. The thermal history of a reservoir exerts a fundamental control on the occurrence of biodegraded petroleum, and microbial activity is focused at the base of the oil column in the oil water transition zone, that represents a hotspot in the petroleum reservoir biome. Here we present a synthesis of new and existing microbiological, geochemical, and biogeochemical data that expands our view of the processes that regulate deep life in petroleum reservoir ecosystems and highlights interactions of a range of biotic and abiotic factors that determine whether petroleum is likely to be biodegraded in situ, with important consequences for oil exploration and production. Specifically we propose that the salinity of reservoir formation waters exerts a key control on the occurrence of biodegraded heavy oil reservoirs and introduce the concept of palaeopickling. We also evaluate the interaction between temperature and salinity to explain the occurrence of non-degraded oil in reservoirs where the temperature has not reached the 80-90°C required for palaeopasteurization. In addition we evaluate several hypotheses that might explain the occurrence of organisms conventionally considered to be aerobic, in nominally anoxic petroleum reservoir habitats. Finally we discuss the role of microbial processes for energy recovery as we make the transition from fossil fuel reliance, and how these fit within the broader socioeconomic landscape of energy futures.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2014.00566","authors":["Ian M.

The presence of brown-midrib mutations in sorghum that alter cell wall composition by reducing lignin and other attributes indicate that sorghum could serve as an important model species for C(4)-grasses. Utilization of the brown-midrib traits could lead to the development of forage and sweet sorghums as novel biomass crops.

In recent years, the consequences of climate change have become more catastrophic and have attracted widespread attention globally. CO2 emissions from the energy industry have lately been highlighted as one of the world’s most pressing concerns for all countries. This paper examines the relationships between CO2 emissions, electrical energy consumption, and gross domestic product (GDP) in Bangladesh from 1972 to 2019 in the first section. In this purpose, we applied the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) approach. The findings indicate that CO2 emissions, electrical energy consumption, and GDP have a statistically significant long-term cointegrating relationship. Developing an accurate CO2 emissions forecasting model is crucial for tackling it safely. This leads to the second step, which involves formulating the multivariate time series CO2 emissions forecasting challenges considering its influential factors. Based on multivariate time series prediction, four deep learning algorithms are analyzed in this work, those are convolution neural network (CNN), CNN long short-term memory (CNN–LSTM), long short-term memory (LSTM), and dense neural network (DNN). The root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) are used to analyze and compare the performances of the predictive models. The prediction errors in MAPE of the CNN, CNN–LSTM, LSTM, and DNN are 15.043, 5.065, 5.377, and 3.678, respectively. After evaluating those deep learning models, a multivariate polynomial regression has also been employed to forecast CO2 emissions. It seems to have nearly similar accuracy as the LSTM model, having a MAPE of 5.541.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2022.06.025","authors":["Md. Omer Faruque","Md. Afser Jani Rabby","Md.

Consequently, cloud data centers consume a lot of electricity and leave a proportional carbon impact on the environment. There is a need to investigate efficient energy-saving approaches to reduce the massive energy usage in cloud servers. This review paper focuses on identifying the research done in the field of energy consumption (EC) using different techniques of machine learning, heuristics, metaheuristics, and statistical methods. Host CPU utilization prediction, underload/overload detection, virtual machine selection, migration, and placement have been performed to manage the resources and achieve efficient energy utilization. In this review, energy savings achieved by different techniques are compared. Many researchers have tried various methods to reduce energy usage and service level agreement violations (SLAV) in cloud data centers. By using the heuristic approach, researchers have saved 5.4% to 90% of energy with their proposed methods compared with the existing methods. Similarly, the metaheuristic approaches reduce energy consumption from 7.68% to 97%, the machine learning methods from 1.6% to 88.5%, and the statistical methods from 5.4% to 84% when compared to the benchmark approaches for a variety of settings and parameters. So, making energy use more efficient could cut down the air pollution, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and even the amount of water needed to make power.

In this paper, an attempt was made to highlight the importance of residual gas on the capacity, injectivity, reservoir pressurization, and trapping mechanisms of storage sites through the use of numerical simulation. The results obtained indicated that the storage performance is proportionally linked to the amount of residual gas in the medium and reservoirs with low residual fluids are a better choice for storage purposes. Therefore, it would be wise to perform the secondary recovery before storage in order to have the least amount of residual gas in the medium.

At present, hydrogen storage technology lags behind hydrogen production and use, which is the bottleneck restricting the development of hydrogen energy. In this paper, several current solid-state hydrogen storage methods are reviewed, including hydrate hydrogen storage, alloy hydrogen storage and MOF hydrogen storage. At the hydrogen storage density level, the hydrogen storage capacity of 1K-MOF-5 can reach 4.23 wt% at 77 K and 10 MPa, and remains basically unchanged in 20 isothermal adsorption and desorption experiments. At the level of temperature and pressure of hydrogen storage, the alloy can realize hydrogen storage under ambient conditions. At the economic level, the cost of hydrogen storage in hydrates is only USD 5–8 per kilogram, with almost zero carbon emissions. Through the analysis, it can be seen that the above solid-state hydrogen storage technologies have their own advantages. Although hydrate hydrogen storage is lower than alloy materials and MOF materials in hydrogen storage density, it still has huge potential for utilization space because of its low cost and simple preparation methods.

Croplands are man-made ecosystems that have high net primary productivity during the growing season of crops, thus impacting carbon and other exchanges with the atmosphere. These exchanges play a major role in nutrient cycling and climate change related issues. An accurate representation of crop phenology and physiology is important in land-atmosphere carbon models being used to predict these exchanges. To better estimate time-varying exchanges of carbon, water, and energy of croplands using the Simple Biosphere (SiB) model, we developed crop-specific phenology models and coupled them to SiB. The coupled SiB-phenology model (SiBcrop) replaces remotely-sensed NDVI information, on which SiB originally relied for deriving Leaf Area Index (LAI) and the fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fPAR) for estimating carbon dynamics. The use of the new phenology scheme within SiB substantially improved the prediction of LAI and carbon fluxes for maize, soybean, and wheat crops, as compared with the observed data at several AmeriFlux eddy covariance flux tower sites in the US mid continent region.

Our study aims to address this gap by qualitatively examining the use of AI for pursuing CN, drawing insights from firms with prior experience in the area. We analyzed the collected qualitative data to identify four key dimensions that capture different nuances of applying AI for achieving CN: (a) implementing AI for direct and indirect control of emissions, (b) accepting the strategic trade‐offs related to funding, data and systems concerns, and social priorities, (c) overcoming organizational and human‐related impediments, and (d) acknowledging the significant impact of AI in terms of gains in business model efficiency and measurable CN target attainment, which ultimately contribute to CN. Based on our findings, we propose a convergence–divergence model encompassing the positive aspects, inhibiting factors, synergies, and offsets necessary for firms to leverage AI to achieve net‐zero emissions effectively. Overall, our study contributes to the discourse on the utilization of AI for CN in a comprehensive manner.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bse.3689","authors":["Adeel Luqman","Qingyu Zhang","Shalini Talwar","Meena Bhatia","Amandeep Dhir"],"tags":["Neutrality","Leverage (statistics)","Divergence (linguistics)","Process (computing)","Convergence (economics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bse.3689","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W4296181550","name":"Moving toward the low-carbon hydrogen economy: Experiences and key learnings from national case studies","source":"openalex","abstract":"The urgency to achieve net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2050, as first presented by the IPCC special report on 1.5 °C Global Warming, has spurred renewed interest in hydrogen, to complement electrification, for widespread decarbonization of the economy.

However, a method which can directly capture and mineralize CO2 at a point source, under actual field conditions, has advantages and could help offset the cost associated with the conventional CCS technologies. The mineral carbonation (MC), a process of converting CO2 into stable minerals (mineralization), has been studied extensively to store CO2. However, most of the MC studies have been largely investigated at laboratory scale. Objectives of this research were to develop a pilot scale AMC (accelerated mineral carbonation) process and test the effects of flue gas moisture content on carbonation of fly ash particles. A pilot scale AMC process consisting of a moisture reducing drum (MRD), a heater/humidifier, and a fluidized-bed reactor (FBR) was developed and tested by reacting flue gas with fly ash particles at one of the largest coal-fired power plants (2120 MW) in the USA. The experiments were conducted over a period of 2 hr at ~ 300 SCFM flow-rates, at a controlled pressure (115.1 kPa), and under different flue gas moisture contents (2-16%). The flue gas CO2 and SO2 concentrations were monitored before and during the experiments by an industrial grade gas analyzer. Fly ash samples were collected from the reactor sample port from 0-120 minutes and analyzed for total inorganic carbon (C), sulfur (S), and mercury (Hg). From C, S, and Hg concentrations, %calcium carbonate (CaCO3), %sulfate (SO42-), and %mercury carbonate (HgCO3) were calculated, respectively. Results suggested significant mineralization of flue gas CO2, SO2, and Hg within 10-15 minutes of reaction. Among different moisture conditions, ~16% showed highest conversion of flue gas CO2 and SO2 to %CaCO3 and %SO42- in fly ash samples. For example, an increase of almost 4% in CaCO3 content of fly ash was observed. Overall, the AMC process is cost-effective with minimum carbon footprint and can be retrofitted to coal fired power plants (existing and/or new) as a post-combustion unit to minimize flue gas CO2, SO2, and Hg emissions into the atmosphere. Used in conjunction with capture and geologic sequestration, the AMC process has the potential to reduce overall cost associated with CO2 separation/compression/transportation/pore space/brine water treatment. It could also help protect sensitive amines and carbon filters used in flue gas CO2 capture and separation process and extend their life.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/npre.2010.5404.1","authors":["KJ Reddy","Hollis Weber","Pradip Bhattacharyya","Morris D.

However, to do so, plants must forego use of the carbon for growth, creating a trade-off between storage and growth. It is possible that plants actively regulate the storage pool to maximize fitness in a stress-prone environment. Here, we attempt to identify the patterns of growth and storage that would result during drought stress under the hypothesis that plants actively regulate carbon storage. We use optimal control theory to calculate the optimal allocation to storage and utilization of stored carbon over a single drought stress period. We examine two fitness objectives representing alternative life strategies: prioritization of growth and prioritization of storage, as well as the strategies in between these extremes. We find that optimal carbon storage consists of three discrete phases: 'growth', 'storage without growth' and the 'stress' phase where there is no carbon source. This trajectory can be defined by the time point when the plant switches from growth to storage. Growth-prioritizing plants switch later and fully deplete their stored carbon over the stress period, while storage-prioritizing plants either do not grow or switch early in the drought period. The switch time almost always occurs before the soil water is depleted, meaning that growth stops before photosynthesis. We conclude that the common observation of increasing carbon storage during drought could be interpreted as an active process that optimizes plant performance during stress.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/treephys/tpae032","authors":["Elisa Z.

This phenomenon is related to greenhouse gas emissions generated by anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic activities. The most notable climate change effects are the rise of sea levels, changes in the water pH, apparition or increased transmission of diseases, changes in the water cycle, loss of marine ecosystems, and several negative impacts on human health. Due to the adverse effects occasioned by climate change, global initiatives have been taken to mitigate its impact, one of these is the reduction of greenhouse gases such as CO2. Some microorganisms such as photosynthetic bacteria and microalgae can capture CO2 and use it as a carbon source for growth. The outstanding CO2 bio-capture or CO2 phycocapture capacity shown by microalgae make them excellent candidates for reduction of atmospheric CO2 in cities. CO2 phyco-capture equivalent CO2 emissions in Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) was determined as a case study, considering greenhouse gas emissions in this city. It was estimated that 94,847 tons of microalgae biomass must be produced daily to equal the amount of CO2 emissions (170,726 CO2-eq per day), thus obtaining a zero balance of emissions. For the above, CO2 phyco-capture implementation can be possible in cities and also in open spaces and that even its production can work as the carbon credits nowadays implemented, the space required, and the high capture rate led us to consider that the microalgae production on a larger scale may have a faster effect on the concentration of CO2 globally, which can help with greater urgency to the aims established by 2030.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2021.101704","authors":["Itzel Y.

It then introduces China’s sponge cities initiative and discusses policy implementation in relation to contemporary understanding of sustainable urban stormwater management and international experience with innovative practices. The initiative, while theoretically well grounded and appropriate by its design principles, is shown subject to diverse implementation challenges, ranging from technological complexity to limited or lack of governance capacity as reflected in management ideology, knowledge and capacity of learning, participatory and integrated governance, investment financing, implementation pathway, planning and organization, and project evaluation. The paper offers some strategies for addressing those challenges, which include: 1) continuous experiment-based deep learning through pilot and institutionalization of knowledge and information management with city-to-city peering learning mechanisms, 2) establishment of institutional mechanisms dedicated to participatory, coordinated and integrated governance of the policy initiative, 3) increased government role in creating favorable conditions for investments, and 4) appropriate planning and an adaptive approach to policy implementation. The paper concludes that the sponge cities initiative can be an effective approach only if China commits to appropriate technical, governance, financial, and organizational measures to effectively address the challenges for policy implementation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2017.11.016","authors":["Yong Jiang","Chris Zevenbergen","Yongchi Ma"],"tags":["Environmental planning","Corporate governance","Business","Urban planning","Stormwater"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2017-12-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2017.11.016","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410035125","name":"A Review of Battery Energy Storage Optimization in the Built Environment","source":"openalex","abstract":"The increasing adoption of renewable energy sources necessitates efficient energy storage solutions, with buildings emerging as critical nodes in residential energy systems.

In this process, carbonate is regenerated and re-used for CO 2 capture. However, a practical example of a recycling culture to prove its feasibility is still absent. To reach this goal, a recycling culture of Neochloris oleoabundans was created in this study. The effect of bicarbonate concentration on N. oleoabundans growth showed that the highest productivity was obtained at 0.3 mol L −1 , but the highest apparent carbon utilization efficiency was obtained at 0.1 mol L −1 . The harvest of algal biomass was tested with alkaline flocculation, which is induced by high pH due to bicarbonate consumption. The result showed that the maximum recovery rate of 97.7 ± 0.29% was reached with a supplement of 20 mM Ca 2+ . Compared with this, alkaline flocculation without Ca 2+ also resulted in a high recovery rate of up to 9 7.4± 0.21% in culture with 0.7 mol L −1 bicarbonate. In recycling culture, the spent medium was bubbled with CO 2 and re-used for algal culture. After eight times of recycling, biomass productivity in recycling culture with 0.1 and 0.3 mol L −1 bicarbonate was 0.24 and 0.39 g L −1 day −1 , respectively, higher than the 0.20 and 0.30 g L −1 day −1 in the control. The apparent carbon utilization efficiencies achieved in these semi-continuous cultures with 0.1 mol L −1 bicarbonate were 242 ± 3.1 and 266 ± 11% for recycling and control culture, respectively, while those with 0.3 mol L −1 bicarbonate were 98 ± 0.78 and 87 ± 3.6%, respectively. This study proved the feasibility of BICCAPS recycling culture with the first practical example. More importantly, the produced algal biomass can be harvested without any flocculant supplement. Thus, this process can reduce both culturing and harvesting costs in algal biomass production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-018-1197-6","authors":["Chenba Zhu","Ruo‐Lan Zhang","Longyan Cheng","Zhanyou Chi"],"tags":["Bicarbonate","Flocculation","Biomass (ecology)","Productivity","Algae"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-07-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-018-1197-6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W2982390644","name":"Thermal Energy Storage in Solar Power Plants: A Review of the Materials, Associated Limitations, and Proposed Solutions","source":"openalex","abstract":"Solar energy is the most viable and abundant renewable energy source.

This article explores how such scarcity periods relate to energy storage requirements. To this end, we contrast results from a time series analysis with those from a system cost optimization model, based on a German 100% renewable case study using 35 years of hourly time series data. While our time series analysis supports previous findings that periods with persistently scarce supply last no longer than two weeks, we find that the maximum energy deficit occurs over a much longer period of nine weeks. This is because multiple scarce periods can closely follow each other. When considering storage losses and charging limitations, the period defining storage requirements extends over as much as 12 weeks. For this longer period, the cost-optimal storage needs to be large enough to supply 36 TWh of electricity, which is about three times larger than the energy deficit of the scarcest two weeks. Most of this storage is provided via hydrogen storage in salt caverns, of which the capacity is even larger due to electricity reconversion losses (55 TWh). Adding other sources of flexibility, for example with bioenergy, the duration of the period that defines storage requirements lengthens to more than one year. When optimizing system costs based on a single year rather than a multi-year time series, we find substantial inter-annual variation in the overall storage requirements, with the average year needing less than half as much storage as calculated for all 35 years together. We conclude that focusing on short-duration extreme events or single years can lead to an underestimation of storage requirements and costs of a 100% renewable system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ac4dc8","authors":["Oliver Ruhnau","Staffan Qvist"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Electricity","Energy storage","Context (archaeology)","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-01-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ac4dc8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W3107015155","name":"A review on tribology of polymer composite coatings","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Self-lubricating polymer composite coatings, with tailorable tribological and mechanical properties, have been widely employed on mechanical parts to reduce friction and wear, which saves energy and improves the overall performance for applications such as aerospace satellite parts, shafts, gears, and bushings.

In agricultural land use systems, increased CO2 emission into the atmosphere is through repeated and frequent cultivation of croplands, crop residues, biomass burning, shifting cultivation, cultivation of low biomass producing crop cultivars, land degradation, deforestation, etc. The results of current review revealed that agricultural soils have lost about 30–75% of their inherent soil organic carbon (SOC) pool which is quite alarming. The U.N. panel (IPCC) in its current report published that to contain warming at 1.5oC, there will be a need to reduce the global net CO2 emissions (manmade) by about 45% by the year 2030 from 2010 levels and further to reach ‘net zero’ by 2050. The potential of carbon sequestration with cautious management of world cropland include 0.08±0.12 Pg/yr by erosion control, 0.02±0.03 Pg/yr by preservation of harshly problematic/degraded soils, 0.02±0.04 Pg/yr by repossession of salt-affected soils, 0.15±0.175 Pg/yr by taking up of minimum/conservation tillage and crop left-over administration, 0.18±0.24 Pg/yr by execution of better cropping system and 0.30±0.40 Pg/ yr as C balance via biofuel production.

Each 1 Mg/ha rise in soil organic carbon pool in the root zone under the soil would enhance yields of crops by 20–70 kg/ha in case of wheat, 10–50 kg/ha in rice, and 30–300 kg/ha in corn, augmenting production of cereals and legumes in the developing countries by 32 and 11 million Mg/yr, respectively.

Five of the most recent observational methods to estimate anthropogenic CO2 (Cant) are applied to a high-quality dataset from five representative sections of the Atlantic Ocean extending from the Arctic to the Antarctic.

However, discrepancies are found in some regions, in particular in the Southern Ocean and Nordic Seas. The differences in the Southern Ocean have a significant impact on the anthropogenic carbon inventories. The calculated total inventories of Cant for the Atlantic referred to 1994 vary from 48 to 67 Pg (1015 g) of carbon, with an average of 54±8 Pg C, which is higher than previous estimates. These results, both the detailed Cant distributions and extrapolated inventories, will help to evaluate biogeochemical ocean models and coupled climate-carbon models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-6-439-2009","authors":["M.

Catalytic dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a promising technology for carbon dioxide utilization and conversion as it can produce syngas, carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen (H 2 ) for widespread industrial production processes. In most studies of the DRM reaction, a relatively high operational temperature (i.e., >700°C) has been applied since the reactivity limitation of widely used Ni‐based catalysts at low temperatures and the extremely endothermic property of the DRM reaction. However, high cost and high requirement of thermal stability for catalysts have become a severe problem impeding the further commercialization of DRM technology. Decreasing the operational temperature (i.e., <700°C) is considered a promising way for further application of the DRM route to convert CO 2 and produce syngas. However, traditional Ni‐based catalysts suffered from unsatisfied reactivity and severe coke formation, leading to quick deactivation at low temperatures. Developing a catalyst with excellent catalytic activity, coke resistance, and improved thermal stability is necessary for low‐temperature DRM reactions. In recent years, with significant development in materials, catalyst design, and computational simulation, some synthesized catalysts have achieved considerable improvement in catalytic performance in low‐temperature DRM. Hence, a review of recent development on low‐temperature DRM catalysts is provided here to further guide and profoundly understand catalyst design for low‐temperature DRM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cjce.24876","authors":["Rufan Zhou","Nader Mahinpey"],"tags":["Syngas","Carbon dioxide reforming","Methane","Catalysis","Coke"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-02-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cjce.24876","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412859751","name":"Techno-Economic Evaluation of Carbon Capture and Storage for Combined Cycle Power Generation","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a major driver of greenhouse gas emissions, which lead to an increase in Earth's temperature and subsequently drive climate change. CO₂ is primarily produced from fossil fuel-based power generation. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a CO₂ capture technology that can be added to fossil fuel power generation. This study evaluates the he technological, financial, and ecological impacts of upgrading CCS technology on a Natural Gas Combined Cycle (NGCC) power generation with three blocks. Amine-based post-combustion capture technology is applied in this study. Simulations were performed employing the Integrated Environment Control Model software. The addition of CCS significantly reduces net power output across all blocks. For Block 1, net power declines from 133 MW to 97.6 MW, a 27% reduction, while Block 2 drops by 17%, from 441.7 MW to 368.1 MW. Block 3 shows a 13% decrease, with net power falling from 441.9 MW to 385.5 MW. Thermal efficiency also declines with the installation of CCS. Corresponding efficiency losses are also notable: Block 1 falls from 40.85% to 30%, Block 2 from 45.24% to 37.69%, and Block 3 from 53.89% to 46.79%. The levelized cost of electricity increases considerably alongside CCS implementation, rising by 80% for Block 1 (0.0843 to 0.1522 USD/kWh), 47% for Block 2 (0.0761 to 0.1114 USD/kWh), and 42% for Block 3 (0.06618 to 0.0874 USD/kWh). Sensitivity analysis indicates that LCOE competitiveness with the national weighted average is achievable when carbon prices exceed 145 USD/t CO₂ for Block 1, 90 USD/t CO₂ for Block 2, and 45 USD/t CO₂ for Block 3. These findings emphasize the trade-offs between power generation efficiency, costs, and carbon capture, providing essential insights for future energy policy and CCS adoption strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.28991/hij-2025-06-02-04","authors":["Mujammil Asdhiyoga Rahmanta","Nur Cahyo","Ruly","Tiva Winahyu Dwi Hapsari","Eko Supriyanto‬","Meiri Triani"],"tags":["Electricity generation","Environmental science","Carbon fibers","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Process engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.28991/hij-2025-06-02-04","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W4396811866","name":"A critical review of distributed fiber optic sensing applied to geologic carbon dioxide storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract In the context of global climate change, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has become a direct and effective measure for reducing greenhouse gases emission.

Basic agreement on core elements was reached in 2001, including the decision to allow afforestation and reforestation projects. However, it is not yet clear what rules will address social concerns. Many types of projects could potentially contribute to local livelihoods and ecosystem restoration, as well as to carbon emission offsets, including those using natural forest regeneration, agroforests, improved forest fallows and agroforestry. Averted deforestation projects with multiple-use forestry, though not eligible in the first CDM period, could be reconsidered in the future. Such projects can be designed to rigorously meet CDM criteria for carbon impact, additionality, leakage and duration. If suitably targeted, they can be cost-effective for investors in terms of production costs. Some, however, may have higher transaction costs. Proactive efforts are needed to enable community-based CDM forestry projects and local land uses to compete effectively in carbon trading markets with projects managed by large-scale operators. The CDM should require mandatory social impact assessments, harmonise the CDM with social principles of other global conventions, promote measures to reduce transaction costs and explicitly include assisted natural regeneration and forest rehabilitation in the definition of afforestation and reforestation. Most developing countries will require policy action to establish the enabling conditions for forest carbon projects to contribute on a large scale to local livelihoods, integrate CDM projects within national development frameworks, attract investors, establish social criteria, secure local rights and promote support services for local people.

However, metal–sulfur batteries remain challenged by several factors, including polysulfides’ (PSs) dissolution, sluggish sulfur redox kinetics at the cathode, and metallic dendrite growth at the anode. Functional separators and interlayers are an innovative approach to remedying these drawbacks. Here we critically review the state-of-the-art in separators/interlayers for cathode and anode protection, covering the Li–S and the emerging Na–S and K–S systems. The approaches for improving electrochemical performance may be categorized as one or a combination of the following: Immobilization of polysulfides (cathode); catalyzing sulfur redox kinetics (cathode); introduction of protective layers to serve as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) (anode); and combined improvement in electrolyte wetting and homogenization of ion flux (anode and cathode). It is demonstrated that while the advances in Li–S are relatively mature, less progress has been made with Na–S and K–S due to the more challenging redox chemistry at the cathode and increased electrochemical instability at the anode. Throughout these sections there is a complementary discussion of functional separators for emerging alkali metal systems based on metal–selenium and the metal–selenium sulfide. The focus then shifts to interlayers and artificial SEI/cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layers employed to stabilize solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) in metal–sulfur solid-state batteries (SSBs). The discussion of SSEs focuses on inorganic electrolytes based on Li- and Na-based oxides and sulfides but also touches on some hybrid systems with an inorganic matrix and a minority polymer phase.

In particular, the surface chemical state, the presence of long-range order in the carbon matrix, and a qualitative estimation of the amount of oxygen and nitrogen and their respective functional group formation on the material surface, together with the detailed material fabrication parameters, are reported. The results expand our understanding of carbon nanomaterial functionalization, which can support material selection in practice, provided that the specifications of the application are known.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.0c08597","authors":["Sami Sainio","Niklas Wester","Anja Aarva","Charles J.

Here, we produce for the first time the spatial patterns of carbon stored in forests of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) by using airborne LiDAR inventory of more than 432,000 ha of forests based on a designed probability sampling methodology. The LiDAR mean top canopy height measurements were trained to develop an unbiased carbon estimator by using 92 1-ha ground plots distributed across key forest types in DRC. LiDAR samples provided estimates of mean and uncertainty of aboveground carbon density at provincial scales and were combined with optical and radar satellite imagery in a machine learning algorithm to map forest height and carbon density over the entire country. By using the forest definition of DRC, we found a total of 23.3 ± 1.6 GtC carbon with a mean carbon density of 140 ± 9 MgC ha−1 in the aboveground and belowground live trees. The probability based LiDAR samples capture variations of structure and carbon across edaphic and climate conditions, and provide an alternative approach to national ground inventory for efficient and precise assessment of forest carbon resources for emission reduction (ER) programs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-15050-z","authors":["Liang Xu","Sassan Saatchi","Aurélie Shapiro","Victoria Meyer","António Ferraz","Yan Yang","Jean‐François Bastin","Norman L.

Multidimensional information encryption and storage are an effective way to increase the security level and can protect it from counterfeiting and illegal decryption. Since light has rich dimensions (wavelength, duration, phase, polarization, depth, and power) and synergy between different dimensions, light as the input is one of the promising candidates for improving the level of information security.

Physical/chemical confinement is useful for anchoring polysulfides, but not effective for utilizing the blocked intermediates. Here, we employ black phosphorus quantum dots as electrocatalysts to overcome these issues. Both the experimental and theoretical results reveal that black phosphorus quantum dots effectively adsorb and catalyze polysulfide conversion. The activity is attributed to the numerous catalytically active sites on the edges of the quantum dots. In the presence of a small amount of black phosphorus quantum dots, the porous carbon/sulfur cathodes exhibit rapid reaction kinetics and no shuttling of polysulfides, enabling a low capacity fading rate (0.027% per cycle over 1000 cycles) and high areal capacities.

Microbial wettability alteration of injected CO2 is expected to occur naturally by microorganisms indigenous to the geologic formation or microorganisms intentionally introduced to increase CO2 storage capacity in the target reservoirs. The question as to the extent of microbial CO2 wettability alteration under reservoir conditions still warrants further investigation. This study investigated the effect of a lipopeptide biosurfactant—surfactin, on interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and contact angle alteration in CO2/water/quartz systems under a laboratory setup simulating in situ reservoir conditions. The temporal shifts in the IFT and the contact angle among CO2, brine, and quartz were monitored for different CO2 phases (3 MPa, 30°C for gaseous CO2; 10 MPa, 28°C for liquid CO2; 10 MPa, 37°C for supercritical CO2) upon cultivation of Bacillus subtilis strain ATCC6633 with induced surfactin secretion activity. Due to the secreted surfactin, the IFT between CO2 and brine decreased: from 49.5 to 30 mN/m, by ~39% for gaseous CO2; from 28.5 to 13 mN/m, by 54% for liquid CO2; and from 32.5 to 18.5 mN/m, by ~43% for supercritical CO2, respectively. The contact angle of a CO2 droplet on a quartz disc in brine increased: from 20.5° to 23.2°, by 1.16 times for gaseous CO2; from 18.4° to 61.8°, by 3.36 times for liquid CO2; and from 35.5° to 47.7°, by 1.34 times for supercritical CO2, respectively. With the microbially altered CO2 wettability, improvement in sweep efficiency of injected and displaced CO2 was evaluated using 2-D pore network model simulations; again the increment in sweep efficiency was the greatest in liquid CO2 phase due to the largest reduction in capillary factor. This result provides novel insights as to the role of naturally occurring biosurfactants in CO2 storage and suggests that biostimulation of biosurfactant production may be a feasible technique for enhancement of CO2 storage capacity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2017.01285","authors":["Taehyung Park","Hyun-Woo Joo","Gyeong-Yeong Kim","Seunghee Kim","Sukhwan Yoon","Tae‐Hyuk Kwon"],"tags":["Contact angle","Microbial enhanced oil recovery","Surfactin","Quartz","Brine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2017-07-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2017.01285","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W1579275340","name":"Carbon Capture and Storage Technology for Sustainable Energy","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is amongst the range of energy technology strategies for addressing concerns of increasing greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere and achieving sustainable energy from fossil fuel use.

However, the effects of land-use types on rhizodeposit-mediated alteration of microbial community structure and its consequences for soil C cycle are still, largely, unknown. Therefore, we used 13C-PLFA-SIP to evaluate the rhizosphere C fluxes to microorganisms in a monoculture crop (oilseed rape, Brassica napus L.), a mixed grassland (dominated by Lolium perenne L. mixed with clover Trifolium repens L.), and a tree (willow, Salix schwerinii E.L. Wolf and Salix viminalis L.) within an agroforestry system. Though harboring similar total microbial biomass, less 13C was recovered in microorganisms in soil under willow (0.017 % of 13C input) after 14 days as compared to rape (0.03 %) and grassland (0.09 %). Across three land use types, gram negative bacteria incorporated most of the 13C (28–42 % of total 13C labeled PLFAs), followed by fungi and gram positive bacteria (12–18 %) and less abundance groups (e.g. actinomycetes, <5 %). The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal biomarker 16:1ω5c was enriched with 13C in soil under grassland (8 % of total 13C labeled PLFAs). The 13C incorporation into gram positive bacteria was higher in soil under willow than under grassland and rape. By contrast, 42 % of total 13C labeled PLFAs were attributed to gram negative bacteria in soil under rape. Overall, our results demonstrated that pronounced differences in microbial community structure and subsequent microbial C utilization between land-use types could affect soil C cycles and storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2022.116160","authors":["Jie Zhou","Zhipeng Li","Lingling Shi","Yakov Kuzyakov","Johanna Pausch"],"tags":["Rhizosphere","Willow","Microbial population biology","Lolium perenne","Agronomy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-09-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2022.116160","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W4382651878","name":"Microporous carbon foams: The effect of nitrogen-doping on CO2 capture and separation via pressure swing adsorption","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2023.144524","authors":["Maryna Vorokhta","Muhammad Irfan Maulana Kusdhany","Dominik Vöröš","Masamichi Nishihara","Kazunari Sasaki","Stephen Matthew Lyth"],"tags":["Microporous material","Carbon fibers","Nitrogen","Adsorption","Chemical engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2023.144524","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W2998673293","name":"Efficient electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide in a low-resistance pressurized alkaline electrolyzer","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2019.114305","authors":["Jonathan P.

An important question is the degree of mobilization and atmospheric release of vast soil C stocks, partly stored in permafrost, with amplified warming of these regions. A fraction of this C is exported to inland waters and emitted to the atmosphere, yet these losses are poorly constrained and seldom accounted for in assessments of high-latitude C balances. This is particularly relevant for Western Siberia, with its extensive peatland C stocks, which can be strongly sensitive to the ongoing changes in climate. Here we quantify C emission from inland waters, including the Ob’ River (Arctic’s largest watershed), across all permafrost zones of Western Siberia. We show that the inland water C emission is high (0.08–0.10 Pg C yr −1 ) and of major significance in the regional C cycle, largely exceeding (7–9 times) C export to the Arctic Ocean and reaching nearly half (35–50%) of the region’s land C uptake. This important role of C emission from inland waters highlights the need for coupled land–water studies to understand the contemporary C cycle and its response to warming.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-21054-1","authors":["Jan Karlsson","Svetlana Serikova","Sergey N.

This work investigates the wettability alteration by carbonated water injection (CWI) on a coquina carbonate rock analogue of a Pre-salt reservoir, and its consequences in the flow of oil. The rock was characterized by routine petrophysical analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance. Moreover, micro-computed tomography was used to reconstruct the pore volume, capturing the dominant flow structure. Furthermore, wettability was assessed by contact angle measurement (before and after CWI) at reservoir conditions. Finally, pore-scale simulations were performed using the pore network modelling technique. The results showed that CWI altered the wettability of the carbonate rock from neutral to water-wet. In addition, the simulated relative permeability curves presented a shift in the crossover and imbibition endpoint values, indicating an increased flow capacity of oil after CWI. These results suggest that the wettability alteration mechanism contributes to enhancing the production of oil by CWI in this system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app10186496","authors":["Santiago Drexler","Fernanda O.

It explores the innovative utilization of waste materials from oil refineries and coal processing industries as precursors for carbon-based electrodes in next-generation energy storage systems, including batteries and supercapacitors. These waste-derived carbon materials, such as semi-coke, coal gasification fine ash, coal tar pitch, petroleum coke, and petroleum vacuum residue, offer a promising alternative to conventional electrode materials. They present an optimal balance of high carbon content and enhanced electrochemical properties while promoting environmental sustainability through effectively repurposing waste materials from coal and hydrocarbon industries. This review systematically examines recent advancements in fabricating and applying waste-derived carbon-based electrodes. It delves into the methodologies for converting industrial by-products into high-quality carbon electrodes, with a particular emphasis on carbonization and activation processes tailored to enhance the electrochemical performance of the derived materials. Key findings indicate that while higher carbonization temperatures may impede the development of a porous structure, using KOH as an activating agent has proven effective in developing mesoporous structures conducive to ion transport and storage. Moreover, incorporating heteroatom doping (with elements such as sulfur, potassium, and nitrogen) has shown promise in enhancing surface interactions and facilitating the diffusion process through increased availability of active sites, thereby demonstrating the potential for improved storage capabilities. The electrochemical performance of these waste-derived carbon materials is evaluated across various configurations and electrolytes. Challenges and future directions are identified, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of the microstructural characteristics that influence electrochemical performance and advocating for interdisciplinary research to achieve precise control over material properties. This review contributes to advancing electrode material technology and promotes environmental sustainability by repurposing industrial waste into valuable resources for energy storage.

The UK industrial sector is complex, because it may be viewed as consisting of some 350 separate combinations of subsectors, devices and technologies. Various energy analysis and carbon accounting techniques applicable to industry are described and assessed. The contributions of the energy‐intensive (EI) and nonenergy‐intensive (NEI) industrial subsectors over recent decades are evaluated with the aid of decomposition analysis. An observed drop in aggregate energy intensity over this timescale was driven by different effects: energy efficiency improvements; structural change; and fuel switching. Finally, detailed case studies drawn from the Cement subsector and that associated with Food and Drink are examined; representing the EI and NEI subsectors, respectively. Currently available technologies will lead to further, short‐term energy and CO2 emissions savings in manufacturing, but the prospects for the commercial exploitation of innovative technologies by mid‐21st century are far more speculative. There are a number of nontechnological barriers to the take‐up of such technologies going forward. Consequently, the transition pathways to a low carbon future in UK industry by 2050 will exhibit large uncertainties. The attainment of significant falls in carbon emissions over this period depends critically on the adoption of a limited number of key technologies [e.g., carbon capture and storage (CCS), energy efficiency techniques, and bioenergy], alongside a decarbonization of the electricity supply.

The paper aims to develop a benchmarking framework to address these issues, ensuring that the entire supply chain environmental impact (in terms of carbon) and resource use for all tiers, including domestic and import flows, are evaluated. This industry-level benchmarking approach ensures that individual firms can compare their carbon emissions against other similarly structured firms. Findings – Supply chain carbon maps are developed as a means of producing industry-level benchmarks to set a measure for the environmental sustainability of product supply chains. The industry-level benchmark provides the first step for firms to manage the environmental performance, identify and target high carbon emission hot-spots and for cross-sectorial benchmarking. Originality/value – The paper links the theoretical development of supply chain environmental system based on the Multi-Regional Input–Output model to the innovative development of supply chain carbon maps, such that an industry-level benchmarking framework is produced as a means of setting product supply chain carbon emissions benchmarks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1108/scm-11-2013-0419","authors":["Adolf Acquaye","Andrea Genovese","John Barrett","S.C.

This has been well studied from an operational perspective, but has been more difficult to incorporate into capacity expansion models (CEMs) that study investment decisions on the decadal scale. There are two primary reasons for this. First, the necessary input data, including cost and resource projections, for flexibility options like demand response and storage are significantly uncertain. Second, it is computationally difficult to represent both investment and operational decisions in detail, the latter being necessary to properly value system flexibility, in CEMs for realistically sized systems. In this work, we extend a particular CEM, NREL's Resource Planning Model (RPM), to address the latter issue by better representing variable generation impacts on operations, and then adding two flexible technologies to RPM's suite of investment decisions: interruptible load and utility-scale storage. This work does not develop full suites of input data for these technologies, but is rather methodological and exploratory in nature. We thus exercise these new investment decisions in the context of exploring price points and value streams needed for significant deployment in the Western Interconnection by 2030. Our study of interruptible load finds significant variation by location, year, and overall system conditions. Some locations find no system need for interruptible load even with low costs, while others build the most expensive resources offered. System needs can include planning reserve capacity needs to ensure resource adequacy, but there are also particular cases in which spinning reserve requirements drive deployment. Utility-scale storage is found to require deep cost reductions to achieve wide deployment and is found to be more valuable in some locations with greater renewable deployment. Differences between more solar- and wind-reliant regions are also found: Storage technologies with lower energy capacities are deployed to support solar deployment, and higher energy capacity technologies support wind. Finally, we identify potential future research and areas of improvement to build on this initial analysis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/1253712","authors":["National Renewable Energy Lab.

This article reviews previous studies that adopted interpretable machine learning techniques for building energy management to analyze how model interpretability is improved. First, the studies are categorized according to the application stages of interpretable machine learning techniques: ante-hoc and post-hoc approaches. Then, the studies are analyzed in detail according to specific techniques with critical comparisons. Through the review, we find that the broad application of interpretable machine learning in building energy management faces the following significant challenges: (1) different terminologies are used to describe model interpretability which could cause confusion, (2) performance of interpretable ML in different tasks is difficult to compare, and (3) current prevalent techniques such as SHAP and LIME can only provide limited interpretability. Finally, we discuss the future R&D needs for improving the interpretability of black-box models that could be significant to accelerate the application of machine learning for building energy management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.adapen.2023.100123","authors":["Zhe Chen","Fu Xiao","Fangzhou Guo","Jinyue Yan"],"tags":["Interpretability","Machine learning","Artificial intelligence","Computer science","Black box"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-01-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.adapen.2023.100123","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W3131082295","name":"Advances in Drug Delivery Nanosystems Using Graphene-Based Materials and Carbon Nanotubes","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon is one of the most abundant elements on Earth.

The AC was impregnated with TEPA at three loading levels (2.5, 5, and 10% [w/w]) and then examined for its CO 2 adsorption capacity under an ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. The use of 5% (w/w) TEPA-impregnated AC (AC_5T) provided the highest CO 2 adsorption capacity and long-term operation with a regeneration ability for up to 10 cycles. Then, AC_5T-doped TiO 2 (AC_5T-TiO 2 ) was prepared as a photocatalytic reduction catalyst, since the presence of carbon and nitrogen in AC_5T could reduce the band gap energy and so enhance the photocatalytic reduction. In addition, the CO 2 -saturated AC_5T was used as a CO 2 source that could be directly converted to valuable chemicals using the AC_5T-TiO 2 catalyst under photocatalytic reduction.

This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of CCS’s technological, intellectual, and institutional evolution, emphasizing its transition from isolated engineering applications to system‐wide integration. Drawing on a bibliometric analysis of more than 19,000 publications (2001–2025) from the Web of Science Core Collection visualized through CiteSpace, we map the global research landscape and reveal the field’s thematic shift from capture and sequestration processes toward integrated approaches that couple CCS with hydrogen, bioenergy, and digital optimization frameworks. Technologically, CCS has advanced through three primary pathways—post‐combustion, pre‐combustion, and oxy–fuel combustion—each with distinct capture mechanisms, energy penalties, and retrofit potentials. At the deployment level, CCS expansion remains geographically uneven: industrialized economies such as China, the United States, and the United Kingdom dominate operational capacity, whereas emerging and developing economies face barriers related to infrastructure, financing, and governance. By integrating bibliometric, technological, and comparative analyses, this review develops a multidimensional framework encompassing policy design, institutional capacity, and deployment structure. The findings highlight that CCS’s future effectiveness depends not only on technological efficiency but also on coordinated governance, cross‐border storage networks, and its alignment with broader innovation ecosystems driving the global net‐zero transition.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/csc3.70008","authors":["Nan Liu","Di Liu","Yuqing Zhan","Q Chen","Yuanting Qiao","Rui Tan"],"tags":["Software deployment","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Environmental economics","Business","Sustainability"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/csc3.70008","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W2765175836","name":"Highly N-doped microporous carbon nanospheres with high energy storage and conversion efficiency","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Porous carbon spheres (CSs) have distinct advantages in energy storage and conversion applications.

Experiments are conducted under non-stirred and isochoric configurations. The hydrate conversion efficiency of both amino acids is identical for hydrates formed with CH4 and mixture of (CO2+CH4). However, the hydrate conversion is significantly less in CO2 hydrates in l-phe system. Addition of amino acids to the water dramatically improved the kinetics of hydrate formation and 90% of maximum gas uptake in hydrate phase occurred in less than an hour. The water to hydrate conversion is also very efficient (>85%) in the presence of amino acids. Therefore, the amino acids containing systems are suitable for storing both CH4 and CO2 gases.

Therefore, the identification of innovative solutions for their mitigation is both a priority and a challenge. The integration of carbon capture and storage technologies into the industrial production process is considered among the most viable solutions for this purpose, and calcium looping (CaL) represents one of the most promising. A key research challenge points to maximize process efficiencies and minimize production cost to decouple cement production from carbon emissions. The carbon capture process proposed in this work is a looping system where CO 2 is absorbed by calcium oxide (CaO) in the first reactor (carbonator) and the calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) produced is regenerated in an oxy-fired calciner. During calcination, CO 2 is released from the sorbents, purified, compressed, and then made available for geological storage. In this study, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to two cement production systems with CaL carbon capture are evaluated: the tail-end CaL carbon capture and the integrated CaL carbon capture. The carbon footprint is complemented with the assessment of the resources depletion mineral and elements and the demand of primary energy. An eco-design approach was pursued by carrying out a life cycle assessment to identify the environmental hotspots and which CaL integration approach presents a higher potential for cement industry decarbonization. The results of the analysis were compared with a conventional cement production process. The results show that the GHG emissions may be reduced by 74% with a tail-end approach and 71% when the CaL is fully integrated into the cement production process. When a future perspective, with higher penetration of renewable energy resources into the electricity sector, was modeled, the results showed that CaL integrated into the clinker production process is more promising in terms of reduction of the carbon footprint, rather than the tail-end solutions. Primary energy consumption from non-renewables is substantially impacted by CaL, with the integrated CaL configuration showing to be a more efficient solution because of less primary energy consumption (coal).","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/frsus.2022.809231","authors":["Claudio Carbone","Daniele Ferrario","Andrea Lanzini","Stefano Stendardo","Alessandro Agostini"],"tags":["Calcium looping","Carbon footprint","Greenhouse gas","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Calcium oxide"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-04-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/frsus.2022.809231","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"oa:W4224252510","name":"Reforming processes for syngas production: A mini-review on the current status, challenges, and prospects for biomass conversion to fuels","source":"openalex","abstract":"Dedicated bioenergy combined with carbon capture and storage are important elements for the mitigation scenarios to limit the global temperature rise within 1.5 °C.

This paper is the first effort of proposing a development plan of offshore CO2 storage and transport for Guangdong in 2030 and 2050. We attempt to make an ambitious and achievable plan. The cluster-hub model of sources and sinks is adopted, and reuse of existing infrastructures is preferred. The targets of CCUS in Guangdong by 2050 are approximately 8% of the CCS targets that proposed for entire China (ADB, 2015), except a smaller target of 2050. The dual-phase and dual-track approach of ADB’s roadmap is followed. The CCUS phase I before 2030 is characterized by the capture of high-purity CO2 from petrochemical industry and the storage of CO2 mainly related to CO2-EOR. The target of ∼3 Mtpa CCUS in 2030 will be achieved by source-sink match A1. The phase II from 2030 to 2050 is characterized by a wider deployment of CCUS. The target of CCUS in Guangdong is ∼35 Mtpa in 2040 and ∼110 Mtpa in 2050, leading to the cumulative CO2 avoidance of ∼187 MtCO2 for 2031–2040 and ∼730 MtCO2 for 2041–2050. Four source-sink matches are proposed for this phase, including the storage clusters in the Pearl River Mouth Basin and in the Beibuwan Basin in the northern South China Sea. Research with sufficient lead time to support the phased CCUS development is proposed, including databases, feasibility studies, technique R&D, cost estimation, and optimized system design. We are fully aware of the large uncertainty in the years ahead, and regard this planning as a highly general and hypothetic proposal.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.01.011","authors":["Di Zhou","Pengchun Li","Xi Liang","Muxin Liu","Li Wang"],"tags":["China","Environmental science","Submarine pipeline","Sink (geography)","Structural basin"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-02-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.01.011","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jcou.2021.101875","name":"Theoretical approaches in hot CO2 capture using modified CaO-based sorbents: Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2021.101875","authors":["Shishir Tiwary","Soubhik Kumar Bhaumik"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-01-16T16:53:05Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jcou.2021.101875","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.646Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/cjce.70337/v1/review1","name":"Review for \"STUDY OF NOVEL HINDERED AMINE/POLYAMINE BLENDS FOR IMPROVED CARBON DIOXIDE CAPTURE\"","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cjce.70337/v1/review1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-11T21:04:35Z","doi":"10.1002/cjce.70337/v1/review1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/d5cp02538a/v1/review1","name":"Review for \"The change of Na storage mechanism from Soft Carbon to Hard Carbon\"","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5cp02538a/v1/review1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-04T21:11:07Z","doi":"10.1039/d5cp02538a/v1/review1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1063/1.4945237","name":"Post combustion carbon dioxide capture using amine functionalized carbon nanotubes: A review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Many technological viable options available for post combustion CO2 capture (PCC) from fossil fuel based power plants, such as amine absorption, adsorption, membrane separation, cryogenic separation processes.

Considering the recent developments, this work presents a state-of-the-art review on CO2 capture process using CNTs, amine functionalized CNTs and membrane based CNTs. One of the major challenges in developing CNT adsorption technology lies in the choice and development of an adsorbent material that can efficiently adsorb and also easily desorb and concentrate the captured CO2 with low energy input. This review work consists of a number of interdisciplinary research activities that are focused on the feasibility of developing a small scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) based on the adsorption properties of chemically functionalized CNTs. Another recent development for CO2 separation from flue gas is the application of membrane-based CNTs. Membrane based CO2 separation invites several advantages such as no need of an additional chemical or physical solvent; low energy use; simple process, hence easy to operate. In this work analysis and literature reviews carried out in the recent development in CNTs and membrane based CNTs for CO2 adsorption and separation to update the recent progress in this area.

Cryogenic Carbon Capture (CCC) has emerged as a promising high-efficiency CO 2 separation technology capable of delivering high-purity streams. However, water vapor in flue gases constitutes a major operational constraint, as residual moisture may induce ice formation, equipment blockage, and process instability under cryogenic conditions. Consequently, deep dehumidification becomes a critical enabling step for reliable and energy-efficient CCC deployment. This work presents a systematic review of dehumidification strategies for CCC systems. From 304 screened publications, 46 addressed dehumidification in CCC, while only 16 reported quantitative data. This limited evidence highlights significant gaps in key parameters, including outlet humidity levels, operating conditions, and energy consumption, hindering comparison of alternative strategies and the definition of reliable operating targets. Additionally, reported CCC configurations rely mainly on cooling-based, compression-assisted cooling, and desiccant methods, typically implemented in multi-stage arrangements combining bulk moisture removal through cooling-condensation with a final polishing step to achieve ultra-low residual moisture. Available data indicate convergence toward similar outlet moisture levels, suggesting that deep dehumidification to about 20 ppm or lower, corresponding to a maximum dew point near −55°C, may represent a practical requirement for stable CCC operation. To compensate for scarce CCC-specific studies, conventional deep dehumidification technologies used in other industrial sectors were assessed. Solid desiccant systems appear particularly suitable for final-stage dehumidification, with desiccant-coated heat exchangers and fluidized beds exhibiting promising performance and favorable pressure-drop characteristics, respectively. These findings provide a structured basis for defining residual moisture targets and guiding integration of deep dehumidification methods in next-generation CCC systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2026.100614","authors":["Eduardo Nobre Rodrigues","Nuno Baía Saraiva","José B.

This review addresses the critical disconnect between modelled expectations and empirical outcomes of CCS, offering a comprehensive, evidence-based reassessment of its technical, economic, and strategic performance. The analysis integrates data from peer-reviewed literature, international reports (IPCC, IEA, Carbon Tracker), and investigative journalism, evaluating both failed and superficially successful projects, including Petra Nova, Gorgon, Sleipner, and In Salah. These case studies expose recurring patterns of cost overruns, suboptimal capture rates, geological uncertainties, and public liability transfer. Projects hailed as “successful” often fall short when scrutinized against durability, scale, and emissions offset claims. While these findings raise valid concerns, this review does not categorically dismiss CCS. Instead, it emphasizes the need for strategic deployment in specific, hard-to-abate sectors where alternatives are limited such as cement production or legacy infrastructure retrofits. Beyond critique, the review explores proven alternatives: renewables, bio-based removals, mineralization; that offer higher scalability and permanence with fewer systemic risks. A predictive evaluation framework is introduced to match/compare capture and mitigation/avoidance technologies to emission contexts using criteria such as CO 2 concentration, energy demand (2.5–8 GJ/tCO 2 ), cost ($50–600/tCO 2 ), scalability, and permanence. Ultimately, the findings underscore that continued reliance on CCS is a high-cost gamble that risks delaying the deployment of truly effective climate solutions; yet, if strategized properly, 2026–2030 could still mark a decisive turning point in determining its role in the energy transition.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ptlrs.2025.09.005","authors":["Muhammad Hammad Rasool","Syed Abdul Moiz Hashmi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-06T23:40:40Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ptlrs.2025.09.005","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-87883-1_8","name":"Techno-Economic Evaluation of Carbon Dioxide Capture Technologies: A State-of-the-Art Review of Chemical Absorption Processes","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-87883-1_8","authors":["Foster Kofi Ayittey","Agus Saptoro"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-04T04:29:29Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-87883-1_8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/9781118938652.ch22","name":"Monitoring of Carbon Dioxide Geological Utilization and Storage in China: A Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Status of CCUS in China Monitoring of CCUS Monitoring Technology of China's Typical CCUS Projects Environmental Governance and Monitoring Trends in China Conclusion Acknowledgements","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/9781118938652.ch22","authors":["Qi Li","Ranran Song","Xuehao Liu","Guizhen Liu","Yankun Sun"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-02-10T08:05:08Z","doi":"10.1002/9781118938652.ch22","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s11814-012-0083-3","name":"Optimal strategy for carbon capture and storage infrastructure: A review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11814-012-0083-3","authors":["Jee-Hoon Han","Yu-Chan Ahn","Jae-Uk Lee","In-Beum Lee"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-07-21T03:37:59Z","doi":"10.1007/s11814-012-0083-3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.eiar.2015.11.004","name":"Development of environmental impact monitoring protocol for offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS): A biological perspective","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eiar.2015.11.004","authors":["Hyewon Kim","Yong Hoon Kim","Seong-Gil Kang","Young-Gyu Park"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-12-30T05:16:41Z","doi":"10.1016/j.eiar.2015.11.004","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.647Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.esr.2026.102198","name":"Drivers and barriers to social acceptance of carbon capture, utilisation and storage: A systematic literature review of survey-based studies","source":"crossref","abstract":"Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) refers to a suite of technologies that can play an important role to decarbonise the energy and industry sectors.

Here we summarize recent work that demonstrates codon-specific translation mediated by the m1G37 methylation of tRNA at CCC and CCU codons for proline, an amino acid that has unique features in translation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2018.00713","authors":["Ya‐Ming Hou","Isao Masuda","Howard Gamper"],"tags":["Transfer RNA","Translation (biology)","Wobble base pair","Genetic code","Codon usage bias"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-01-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2018.00713","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W4388816456","name":"Developing High-Capacity Solid “Molecular Basket” Sorbents for Selective CO2 Capture and Separation","source":"openalex","abstract":"Conspectus Since carbon-based energy continues to dominate (over 80%) the global primary energy supply, carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) is deemed to be a promising and viable option to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, for which CO 2 capture is critical to the overall success of CCUS. Although liquid amine scrubbing is a mature technology for carbon capture, it is energy-intensive and costly due to energy consumption in solvent heating and water evaporation apart from the energy needed to break amine–CO 2 bonding. To address this challenge, Song’s group developed a new design approach for adsorptive CO 2 capture and separation, namely, “molecular basket” sorbents (MBS), without the need for dealing with solvent heating and water evaporation. The solid MBS consisting of polymeric amines (such as PEI) immobilized into nanoporous materials (such as SBA-15) possesses a high capacity for CO 2 capture with high selectivity, fast kinetics, and good regenerability. Consequently, MBS can greatly reduce energy consumption and carbon capture cost. Conventional adsorbents such as zeolites, activated carbon, alumina, and silica have low adsorption capacities, and their use of CO 2 adsorption requires prior removal of moisture and cooling of flue gas (∼35 °C). On the contrast, the CO 2 sorption capacity of MBS can even be promoted by the presence of moisture/steam and reaches the best performance closer to flue gas temperature (∼75 °C). This Account presents an overview of our research progress in the material development and fundamental understanding of MBS for CO 2 capture and the separation of CO 2 from various gas streams. It begins with an illustration of the MBS concept, followed by efforts to improve the performance and pilot-scale demonstration of MBS for CO 2 capture. With the systematic characterization of MBS by various ex situ and in situ techniques, a better understanding is developed for the CO 2 sorption process mechanistically. Furthermore, this Account demonstrates how the fundamental understanding of the CO 2 sorption mechanism promotes the further development of more robust and advanced sorbent materials with improved CO 2 sorption capacity, kinetics of sorption and desorption, and cyclic stability. Finally, an outlook is provided for the future design and development of novel sorbent materials and the CO 2 sorption process for various gas streams including flue gas, biogas, air, and hydrogen streams.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.accounts.3c00444","authors":["Xiaoxing Wang","Chunshan Song"],"tags":["Flue gas","Sorption","Adsorption","Greenhouse gas","Chemical engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-11-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.accounts.3c00444","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W4395025903","name":"Recent advancements in the application of electrospun nanofibers for carbon dioxide capture and utilization","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2024.123305","authors":["Yifu Li","Zhien Zhang","Yunqiao Huang","Yi Zhang","Sivaraju Akula"],"tags":["Electrospinning","Nanofiber","Nanotechnology","Materials science","Carbon nanofiber"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2024.123305","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W4308587976","name":"Enhancing the separation of produced gas and CO2 capture for enhanced oil recovery in China, multi-objective simulated optimization and quantitative assessment for sustainable development","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2022.135089","authors":["Yibin Liu","Qinghua Meng","Xin Zhou","Jiarong Lu","Hao Yan","Xiaobo Chen","Qingchun Yang"],"tags":["Livelihood","Enhanced oil recovery","Greenhouse gas","Process (computing)","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-11-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2022.135089","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W2925335221","name":"Field study on attached cultivation of Arthrospira (Spirulina) with carbon dioxide as carbon source","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2019.03.099","authors":["Junfeng Wang","Wentao Cheng","Wen Liu","Hui Wang","Dongcun Zhang","Zhanshan Qiao","Guiyong Jin","Tianzhong Liu"],"tags":["Spirulina (dietary supplement)","Arthrospira","Carbon dioxide","Carbon fibers","Carbon source"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-03-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2019.03.099","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W4298128045","name":"Accurate gas extraction（AGE) under the dual-carbon background: Green low-carbon development pathway and prospect","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2022.134372","authors":["Jingfei Zhang","Haifei Lin","Shugang Li","Erhao Yang","Yang Ding","Y.

The CO 2 captured from emission sources is often contaminated with impurities that can significantly affect its thermophysical properties and flow behaviors during pipeline transportation. A holistic understanding of the impacts of these impurities is necessary to establish a cost-efficient and reliable CO 2 pipeline transport system. In this study, we utilized an integrated thermophysical and fluid flow model and systematically analyzed the impurity effects of H 2, N 2, CH 4, CO, O 2, Ar, SO 2, H 2 S, and H 2 on the phase-envelopes, critical properties, density, viscosity, and pressure drop of CO 2 streams. Each impurity was studied from zero to its highest concentration encountered in CCUS. The impacts of different impurities might be positive or negative to CO 2 pipeline transportation depending on the system parameters being evaluated. H 2 generally produces the most negative impacts on transportation, greatly enlarging the two-phase region, most significant reductions in density and viscosity, and highest pressure loss. In contrast, H 2 S has a much milder effect on most system properties. In this paper, we also ranked the impacts of impurities on different system properties by grading the effect of each impurity at 5 vol % concentration and discussed their indications on CO 2 pipeline transportation. These results offer practical insights into the design, operation, and management of CCUS CO 2 pipelines nowadays and in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c00935","authors":["Fuqiao Bai","Yingda Lu"],"tags":["Impurity","Pipeline transport","Environmental science","Pipeline (software)","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c00935","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W2016503855","name":"Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index and Simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index Risk Scores Are Useful to Predict Mortality in Japanese Patients With Pulmonary Embolism","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: The Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) and simplified PESI (sPESI) have not been fully evaluated in Japan, so the present study aimed to evaluate these risk stratification models in the prediction of mortality of affected patients in Japan.

Levosimendan, a novel calcium sensitiser, improves both short-term and long-term outcome of patients with acute HF. To evaluate the length of intensive care and hospital stay in acute decompensated HF patients treated with levosimendan compared with placebo. The REVIVE I trial was a pilot trial comprising 100 patients with acute HF who were hospitalised for worsening HF and had dyspnea at rest despite intravenous (IV) diuretics. Patients were randomised (double-blind) to receive placebo (PBO) ( n = 49) or IV levosimendan (LS) ( n = 51), given as a loading dose of 12 μg/kg over 10 min and followed by a continuous infusion (0.1 μg/kg/hour for 50 min and 0.2 μg/kg/hour for 23 hours). Among other measures, the duration of hospitalisations and intensive care (ICU/CCU) were prospectively recorded. At baseline, 34 out of 51 (67%) patients in the LS group, and 25 out of 49 (51%) patients in the PBO group were treated in the ICU/CCU. One levosimendan and three placebo-treated patients were subsequently admitted to the ICU/CCU after randomisation. The mean treatment time at the ICU/CCU was 4.4 days in the LS group and 5.1 days in the PBO group (median 4 days vs 5 days). The mean duration of index hospitalization after randomization was 5.7 days for the LS group and 6.8 days for the PBO group (median 5 days in both groups). After the initial discharge, one patient in the LS group and seven patients in the PBO group were admitted to the ICU/CCU during a subsequent rehospitalization up to day 31. The mean treatment time at the ICU/CCU for these patients was 2.0 days in the LS group and 4.4 in the PBO group (median 2 days vs 5 days). Of the acute HF patients who were admitted to intensive care, those treated with levosimendan spent on average 1 day less in an ICU/CCU than patients treated with usual care. Shortening the ICU treatment time by 1 day without increasing the total length of the initial hospitalisation could reduce total hospitalisation costs by up to US$2000–3000 per patient. These promising initial results await confirmation in the ongoing REVIVE II trial.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/cc2555","authors":["Susanne Johansson","Marjo Apajasalo","Toni Sarapohja","Chris Garratt"],"tags":["Medicine","Family medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2004-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/cc2555","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W4289515955","name":"The early-stage design of plasma for the conversion of CO2 to chemicals: A prospective techno-economic assessment","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2022.102156","authors":["Hanne Lamberts-Van Assche","Gwenny Thomassen","Tine Compernolle"],"tags":["Revenue","Raw material","Net present value","Process engineering","Environmental economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-08-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2022.102156","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W3164491746","name":"Carbon capture, utilization, and storage hub development on the Gulf Coast","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract The Gulf Coast of the United States hosts diverse power generation, refining, and petrochemical processing facilities, resulting in the nation's largest volumetric concentration of industrial CO2 emissions, rivaled only by the Ohio River Valley. These emissions sources are concentrated in specific industrial clusters that allow combining emissions streams to achieve economies of scale. The region is currently undergoing globally significant industrial expansion and investment as a result of abundant and inexpensive regional unconventional natural gas availability, and is a growing exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Opportunities to integrate CO2 emission management within the diverse energy chains in the region are volumetrically significant and include both concentrated and dilute sources. Significant examples of capture, transport, and storage exist. Offshore storage is particularly attractive, as it provides simplified land leasing models (single governmental land owner), proven reservoir quality, and presents fewer risks to both protected groundwater and populated areas. Projects can now take advantage of recently expanded opportunities under section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Service tax code. The region continues to evolve as an active carbon‐handling hub, and is uniquely suited to justify additional investment in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies via a large‐scale integrated project development. Continued development of integrated projects will allow the region to continue to grow economically within its strong fossil‐fuel handling competence focus while advancing low‐carbon energy technologies that maintain globally competitiveness. © 2021 The Authors.

Herein, we report the construction of a hydrogen‐bonded 3D framework, {[Zn(hfipbba)(MA)]⋅3 DMF}n (hfipbba=4,4′‐(hexaflouroisopropylene)bis(benzoic acid)) (HbMOF1) utilizing ZnII center, a partially fluorinated, long‐chain dicarboxylate ligand (hfipbba), and an amine‐rich melamine (MA) co‐ligand. Interestingly, the framework possesses two types of 1D channels decorated with CO2‐philic (−NH2 and −CF3) groups that promote the highly selective CO2 adsorption by the framework, which was supported by computational simulations. Further, the synergistic involvement of both Lewis acidic and basic sites exposed in the confined 1D channels along with high thermal and chemical stability rendered HbMOF1 a good heterogeneous catalyst for the highly efficient fixation of CO2 in a reaction with terminal/internal epoxides at mild conditions (RT and 1 bar CO2). Moreover, in‐depth theoretical studies were carried out using periodic DFT to obtain the relative energies for each stage involved in the catalytic reaction and an insight mechanistic details of the reaction is presented. Overall, this work represents a rare demonstration of rational design of a porous ZnII MOF incorporating multiple functional sites suitable for highly efficient fixation of CO2 with terminal/internal epoxides at mild conditions supported by comprehensive theoretical studies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.202002688","authors":["Rajesh Das","D.

We investigated the association of CCU with overall survival (OS), radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), and time to prostate-specific antigen progression (TTPP) in post-chemotherapy, enzalutamide-treated patients with mCRPC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Post hoc analysis of AFFIRM (NCT00974311) with patients (n = 1,199) randomized 2:1 to enzalutamide 160 mg/day or placebo.

RESULTS: Enzalutamide significantly improved OS, rPFS, and TTPP independent of baseline CCU but was associated with inferior clinical outcomes when compared with no baseline CCU, including a shorter OS [10.8 months vs. not reached (NR); HR for use vs. no use, 2.13; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.79-2.54], rPFS (5.2 months vs. 8.0 months; HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.29-1.72], and TTPP (4.6 months vs. 5.7 months; HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.25-1.81). These findings held in a multivariate analysis adjusting for baseline prognostic factors wherein baseline CCU was independently associated with decreased OS (HR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.43-2.04; P < 0.0001) and rPFS (HR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.11-1.48; P = 0.0007).

METHODS: Data were prospectively collected and analyzed from January 2016 to June 2017 from 395 consecutive post cardiac surgery patients at the cardiac care unit (CCU) at a single center; 103 (26.1%) developed dysphagia. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to identify independent predictors for dysphagia. The survival nomogram was developed on the basis of a multivariable Cox model, which allowed us to obtain survival probability estimations. The predictive performance of the nomogram was verified for discrimination and calibration. Areas under receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were used to illustrate and evaluate the diagnostic performance of the novel model. RESULTS: The final novel scoring model, named SSG-OD, consists of three independent factors: gastric intubation (OR = 1.024, 95% CI 1.015-1.033), sedative drug use duration (OR = 1.031, 95% CI 1.001-1.063) and stroke or not (OR = 6.182, 95% CI 3.028-12.617).

Results: The prevalence of PDDIs was 96.5% and 95.7% in the 2 hospitals, with over 1200 PDDIs in total. A significant association was found between the number of prescribed drugs and PDDIs in both hospitals. Conclusion: The knowledge of PDDIs is either lacking among the clinicians or is not taken into consideration. Monitoring PDDIs and timely interventions are required to minimize the adverse outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.15537/smj.2018.12.23430","authors":["Faisal Shakeel","Jamshaid Ali Khan","Muhammad Aamir","Peer Abdul Hannan","Sabahat Zehra","Irfan Ullah"],"tags":["Medicine","Tertiary care","Drug","Emergency medicine","Intensive care"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-12-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.15537/smj.2018.12.23430","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W3046411002","name":"Red cell distribution width is correlated with all-cause mortality of patients in the coronary care unit","source":"openalex","abstract":"OBJECTIVE: The predictive value of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in patients in the coronary care unit (CCU) remains unknown.

While over 80% of the current global energy needs are supplied by fossil fuels, the number of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) projects is limited in this sector. There is a huge gap between the scale and distribution of ongoing CCUS projects and the carbon intensity (CI) of energy-intensive industries. Furthermore, the climate impact of growing reliance on unconventional resources (Tar sands and shales) as well as the depletion of conventional resources poses challenges to the oil and gas sector to meet energy demand, while limiting their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. On the other hand, the economic viability of CCUS projects is highly sensitive to carbon credits policies, which are not yet fully integrated in a way to fill the current gap in the number, scale and distribution of these projects. Moreover, there is limited consistency between the allocated decarbonization funds and the anticipated economic growth of fossil fuel economies to promote wide-scale global resilience to carbon exposure. Therefore, it is essential to take climate-related risks, including socioeconomic impacts, into consideration for the decision-making process of companies and governments to embrace low-carbon energy. The focus of this article is on carbon resilience calibration and emissions scenario analysis in investment decisions to realize decarbonization goals through balancing short-term actions with long-term energy transition plans. The challenges and prospects of the application of CCUS technologies as an industrial decarbonization approach are discussed. Carbon footprint (CFP) observing, factoring and reporting workflows for correlating carbon exposure and resilience as part of climate assessment are introduced. Moreover, the main elements of carbon resilience scenarios are analyzed to fill the gap between the current industrial activities and decarbonization plans and to avoid making decisions solely based on economic aspects. Finally, we propose a workflow for carbon resilience calibration and a cash flow model for a sample CCUS project in the upstream oil and gas industry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2023.1089778","authors":["Seyedeh Hosna Talebian","Amir Jahanbakhsh","M.

The objective of this study was to determine the presence of diabetes mellitus and other conventional coronary heart disease risk factors (cigarette smoking, hypertension and hyperlipidemia) in patients with acute coronary events in an Iranian population. METHODS: The study included 514 patients with unstable angina or myocardial infarction (MI) out of 720 patients admitted to CCU ward of a general hospital from March 2003 to March 2005. History of diabetes, hypertension and cigarette smoking, demographic indices, coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus treatment, myocardial enzymes, serum triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol and fasting and non fasting blood glucose levels and HbA1C of diabetics were recorded of admission sheets. The data were structured to appropriate one way ANOVA, T tests, and chi square test with SPSS 13 product for windows. RESULTS: Out of all patients 35.8% were female, 30% were diabetics (Duration 13.4 +/- 8.7 years), 42% were smoker and 91% were hypertensive. Twenty four percent had MI and 76% had unstable angina. MI was significantly higher in diabetic patients (36.4% vs. 19.2%, P < 0.001). Location and extension of MI and myocardial enzymes did not differ between diabetics and non-diabetic patients. Diabetic patients were older than non diabetics (65 +/- 11.6 vs. 59.7 +/- 12.5 years, p < 0.05). Five (66.7%) out of 9 patients with fatal MI were diabetics (Odds Ratio = 2.98). Age, duration of diabetes and HbA1c levels, did not differ between diabetic patients with or without MI. Hypertension and current smoking was significantly higher in patients with MI compared to patients with unstable angina (p < 0.05). Serum TG, HDL-C, LDL-C and total cholesterol level did not differ between patients with MI and unstable angina. Diabetic patients compare to non diabetic patients were more hypertensive (96% vs. 88.7%, p < 0.005) and had higher serum triglyceride (TG over 200 mg/dl, 35.1% vs. 26.4, p <0.05). Diabetes was more frequent among women than men (36.4% vs. 26.4%, p < 0.05).

The combination of Power-to-Methane (PtM) and Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) concepts allows the simultaneous decrease of the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), and the use of renewable electricity to produce synthetic natural gas (SNG) that can be stored and/or distributed by current gas infrastructure. In this way, CO 2 and green H 2 can be catalytically converted into synthetic methane via CO 2 methanation reaction. This review focuses on studying process intensification strategies in CO 2 methanation by using multifunctional reactors, more specifically units that simultaneously perform chemical reaction and separation processes. Instead of being separated and concentrated in a preliminary stage, the CO 2 present at low concentration in flue gas (≤15 vol%) or in the biogas streams ( ca. 25–50 %) can be captured by adsorption and converted to CH 4 in the same unit. Thus, in this type of device, a mixture of CO 2 adsorbent and methanation catalyst (typically based on Ni or Ru) is placed inside the reactor to combine the two process units into a single device. In the last years, for such type of multifunctional reactor, dual function materials (DFMs) were also prepared and tested. DFM materials simultaneously contain a CO 2 adsorbent and a methanation catalyst; this allows easier reactor packing and having the captured CO 2 near the catalyst active sites during the reactive regeneration step (processing intensification is thus also reached at the particle level, including heat integration). Apart from flue gas sources of CO 2 , some projects related to Direct Air Capture (DAC) of CO 2 are also addressed. Besides that, and for biogas streams, the high CH 4 content ( ca. 50 – 75 %) is unfavorable for the CO 2 methanation reaction due to its reversible nature. Hence, the in situ capture/removal of water, the other reaction product, by using an H 2 O-selective adsorbent or a permselective membrane is also considered and allows to improve the performance of the CO 2 methanation for biogas upgrading application, i.e., by shifting the reaction towards the production of more CH 4 . This concept (sorption-enhanced reactor) also presents benefits when considering other CO 2 streams.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2024.134269","authors":["Catarina Faria","Cláudio Rocha","Carlos V.

Methods: We performed a cohort analysis of 3,502 adult CCU patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. The patients were divided into four groups according to the WHO BMI categories. Both multivariable logistic regression and Cox regression were used to reveal the relation between BMI and mortality. Subgroup analyses were performed based on Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) and age. Results: After adjusting for confounders, obese patients had 33% and 30% lower mortality risk at 30-day and 1-year (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.89; HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.83; respectively) compared with normal-weight patients, while the underweight group were opposite, with 141% and 81% higher in short- and long-term (OR 2.41, 95% CI 1.37 to 4.12; HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.34 to 2.46; respectively). Overweight patients did not have a significant survival advantage at 30-day (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.70 to 1.17), but did have a 22% lower mortality risk at 1-year (HR 0.78; 95% CI 0.67 to 0.91). The results were consistent after being stratified by SAPS and age. Conclusion: Our study supports that obesity improved survival at both 30-day and 1-year after CCU admission, and the obesity paradox existed in CCU patients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fendo.2022.855650","authors":["Junlue Yan","Xinyuan Li","Wenjie Long","Tianhui Yuan","Shaoxiang Xian"],"tags":["Medicine","Obesity","Cohort","Unit (ring theory)","Coronary care unit"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-04-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fendo.2022.855650","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W1991549108","name":"The costs and savings associated with prevention of adverse events by critical care nurses","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcrc.2007.12.021","authors":["Jeffrey M.

METHODS: A prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study was performed at seven university teaching hospital EDs. Hemodynamically stable chest pain patients > or = 25 years old and without ST-segment elevation on their ECGs were observed with one to two sets of CK-MB level determinations obtained three hours apart prior to disposition. The physicians committed to a dichotomous (yes/no) absolute decision regarding the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI), need for hospital admission, and need for coronary care unit (CCU) admission both before and after enzyme results were obtained. The physicians ranked the perceived importance of initial history and physical, serial clinical observation, initial ECG, and CK-MB level to their decision making (rank score: 1 = most important, 4 = least important). RESULTS: Of the 1,042 patients enrolled, 777 (74.6%) were admitted to the hospital. For the 67 MI patients (8.6% of the admissions), changes in absolute decisions about the diagnosis of MI and planned CCU admission were associated with increased CK-MB importance (p = 0.04 and p = 0.02, respectively). Of the 146 patients who had new-onset angina or unstable angina, changes in absolute decisions were not associated with CK-MB importance. No patient who had MI or unstable angina was released from the ED. There were three of 67 (4%) MI patients and one of 146 (1%) unstable/new-onset angina patients initially slated for release home who were admitted to the hospital. CONCLUSIONS: For a minority of the patients who had subsequently proven MI, the CK-MB result helped guide disposition decisions. The CK-MB availability did not adversely impact the disposition of the patients who had unstable or new-onset angina.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1553-2712.1996.tb03295.x","authors":["Jerris R.

Methods: The current case-control study was conducted at the CCU of King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), in 2016-2018. A total of 122 AMI patients admitted to CCU, and 52 BMI and age-matched healthy subjects, between 30 and 65 years of age, were included. Results: Chemerin and omentin-1 are independent predictors of the incidence of MI. Furthermore, serum omentin-1 was significantly lowered while chemerin and hsCRP levels were found to be significantly raised among the individuals with AMI compared to the healthy subjects, and no notable change was found in the serum leptin level. Serum omentin-1, chemerin, and leptin were significantly correlated with weight, BMI, waist circumference in patients, and control subjects. Binary logistic regression analysis displayed that the occurrence of MI is positively correlated with fasting plasma glucose (FPG), TC, TG, LDL-C, hsCRP, and chemerin and in a negative manner with HDL-C, and omentin. The chemerin and omentin-1 were also linked with the MI in multiple logistic regression analysis. Conclusions: The present results indicated that the serum omentin levels were significantly lowered while chemerin and hsCRP levels were found to be markedly raised among patients. No change was found in serum leptin levels. Serum chemerin and omentin-1 levels were independently associated with the MI.

CO2 cycloaddition with epoxide, as an efficient approach to fix and convert CO2, can solve the environmental concerns and reduce the dependence on fossil fuels simultaneously, is a promising way for CO2 utilization. The CO2 cycloaddition process usually requires catalysts, and zeolite-like imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have received extensive attention as a novel and effective catalyst due to its unique physical and chemical properties. Many ZIFs based or derived catalysts with different structures and functions have been developed to achieve efficient catalysis of CO2 cycloaddition with epoxide.

This is due to the abundance of global Ca-bearing alkaline wastes and minerals and the associated thermodynamic stability of precipitated calcium carbonates (PCC). In order to improve the motivation for CCU mineralization methods, increasing the value and uses of the formed PCC is crucial. The properties of the PCC, namely, the crystalline phase(s) present, will have serious implications regarding the postrecovery uses and the commodity value. Vaterite, a metastable form of calcium carbonate, is a valuable polymorph of PCC due to its spherical shape, solubility, and porosity; its potential uses include the construction, pharmaceutical, and consumables industries. Herein, we examine the practical conditions necessary to produce pure vaterite from a calcium source (i.e., CaCl 2 ) reacted with carbon in the form of both aqueous carbonates (i.e., K 2 CO 3 ) and gaseous CO 2 . Dosage of and the relative bulk concentration of carbon species (e.g., CO 2 /CO 3 2– ) has implications on the stability of vaterite on reaction time scales. Ionic cofactor additives, such as NH 4 + and SO 4 2–, were effective in enhancing the stability of vaterite under ambient conditions, revealing the critical additive ratio to synthesize pure vaterite. Finally, testing showed that vaterite’s effect on cement hydration kinetics is similar to that of calcite, which is currently used in industry, indicating that vaterite can also serve as a filler for concrete production to replace Ordinary Portland cement. Overall, this study provides insights into the engineering of crystallization systems which can easily and selectively produce vaterite, an emerging and valuable PCC product in the context of carbon mineralization activities for CCU.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.cgd.3c00835","authors":["Jonah M.

Men receive more aggressive intervention and at an earlier stage of disease. However, differences in treatment between sexes have thus far been demonstrated only for invasive treatment, which may be less effective for women than for men. METHODS: In a small community hospital, all patients admitted to the family practice service for suspected acute myocardial infarction from July 1988 to June 1989 were evaluated retrospectively to determine the reasons for placement in the cardiac care unit (CCU) vs regular nursing bed units with telemetry. The variables considered were patient age, patient sex, physician sex, and the likelihood of ischemia based on the Acute Ischemic Heart Disease Predictive Instrument (HDPI). RESULTS: Ninety-three patients were entered in the study. The patient's age, sex, and likelihood of ischemia as measured by HDPI score were significantly related to probability of placement in the CCU. Women were less likely than men to be placed in the CCU, controlling for age and likelihood of ischemia (OR = 0.362, 95% CI = 0.135 to 0.977). CONCLUSIONS: Women appear to receive not only less intensive invasive treatment for ischemic heart disease than men, as previous studies have shown, but also less aggressive noninvasive treatment. This may represent unnecessary treatment of men rather than undertreatment of women. The findings of this study suggest, however, that physicians view women presenting with suspected acute myocardial infarction with less urgency than men presenting with similar symptoms.","url":"https://openalex.org/W2417343916","authors":["L.

Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a transformative solution to these problems. This review systematically synthesizes the progress in ML applications over the last 5 years for CGS through a four-dimensional framework: (1) algorithmic innovation, comparing classical ML and deep learning techniques tailored for CGS; (2) laboratory-scale breakthroughs, highlighting ML-driven parameter prediction and multimodal data fusion for experimental characterization; (3) simulation enhancements, showcasing ML-augmented geological inversion, trapping mechanism analysis, and multiphase flow modeling; and (4) field-scale implementations, including ML-optimized wellbore management, real-time leakage monitoring, and risk benefit assessments. Although the findings reveal substantial progress in ML-based CGS integration, they underscore enduring challenges in data quality, model interpretability, and scalability. By critically evaluating these advancements, identifying research gaps, and proposing future research directions, this work establishes a theoretical foundation for synergistic ML-based CGS integration.

However, little research has been devoted to comprehensively assessing the carbon footprint of the coal-to-methanol (CTM) co-production system coupled with CCUS-enhanced oil recovery technology (CCUS-EOR), and this hinders the scientific evaluation of its decarbonization-related performance. In this study, we used lifecycle assessment to introduce the coefficient of distribution of methanol and constructed a model to calculate the carbon footprint of the process of CTM co-production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as well as CTM co-production coupled with CCUS-EOR. We used the proposed model to calculate the carbon footprint of the entire lifecycle of the process by using a case study. The results show that the carbon footprints of CTM co-production and CTM co-production coupled with CCUS-EOR are 2.63 t CO2/tCH3OH and 1.00 t CO2/tCH3OH, respectively, which is lower than that of the traditional CTM process, indicating their ability to achieve environmental sustainability. We also analyzed the composition of the carbon footprint of the coal-to-methanol process to identify the root causes of carbon emissions in it and pathways for reducing them.

DESIGN: Postal survey of all coronary care units (CCU) in England of their use of prescribed oxygen and pulse oximetry. Prospective randomised study of 50 patients presenting within 24 hours of onset of myocardial infarction, half of whom received oxygen therapy. Oxygen saturation (SpO2) as continuously measured by pulse oximetry, and arrhythmias and ST segment changes were recorded on simultaneous 24-hour ambulatory Holter monitors. RESULTS: In 53% of UK coronary care units oxygen is not routinely prescribed but in only 3% is a pulse oximeter used to aid management. In patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction the incidence of hypoxaemia (SpO2 < 90%) was 70% and severe hypoxaemia 35% in those not given oxygen, compared with only 27% and 4% in patients given oxygen therapy. The only patient to receive oxygen on clinical grounds had an oxygen saturation of 71%. Severe hypoxaemia (SpO2 < 80%) occurred significantly less often (1 and 7 patients, p < 0.05) in patients given oxygen. There were no differences in arrhythmias or ST segment changes between groups. CONCLUSION: Hypoxaemia occurs frequently in patients in the first 24 hours after acute myocardial infarction. It is effectively and easily treated with supplemental oxygen which can be guided by pulse oximetry. This is rarely done.

We provide a comparative analysis of policy landscapes for the three different net-zero industrial hub projects and conclude by proposing considerations for designing green industrial policies for other regions that need deep decarbonization for their ‘hard-to-abate’ sectors. Our case studies highlight the importance of carbon pricing mechanisms to crowd in private investments, thus providing strong signals for structural change to different stakeholders across the value chain. As industrial decarbonization, however, faces unique challenges due to its complex value chain and the need for supportive infrastructure, such as CO 2 transport and storage, government support for the infrastructure is essential to complement the private sector's efforts in the early stages. Over time, increasing carbon prices and phasing out free allowances can further incentivize the deployment of CCUS and hydrogen in the industry sector. For countries where raising carbon prices is politically difficult, policies designed to smooth the transition, such as carbon contracts for difference, offer a viable alternative. A well-designed mix of demand-pull and supply-push policy instruments is therefore crucial for achieving industrial decarbonization, taking into account each country's existing domestic assets, financial capacity, and geography (i.e., carbon storage capacity).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2024.103777","authors":["Soyoung Oh","Mohammed Al-Juaied"],"tags":["Business","Industrial policy","International trade"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2024.103777","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400443871","name":"Direct Air Capture (DAC) for Achieving Net-Zero CO2 Emissions: Advances, Applications, and Challenges","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon dioxide (CO2), as the primary greenhouse gas, has significant impacts on global climate change, leading to severe and irreversible adverse consequences for ecosystems and human environments. To address the issue of excessive CO2 emissions, efforts in recent years have yielded significant progress in the development of clean energy sources and the promotion of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies. Conventional CO2 capture techniques are limited in addressing global atmospheric CO2 excess effectively, as they target only high-concentration CO2 emissions and require implementation at specific emission points. Direct air capture (DAC) technology has emerged as a promising solution due to its flexibility in deployment, avoidance of land competition, and ability to capture legacy CO2 emissions. Additionally, DAC offers opportunities for producing synthetic clean fuels, thereby reducing reliance on traditional fossil fuels and aiding in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This study provides a comprehensive review of DAC technology, encompassing its principles, technological advancements, real-world applications, challenges, and future research directions. By offering insights into the current state and potential of DAC technology, this study aims to guide global efforts in scaling up DAC deployment, ultimately contributing to achieving global carbon neutrality or even negative emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/eng5030069","authors":["Guihe Li","Jia Yao"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Environmental science","Software deployment","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Fossil fuel"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/eng5030069","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W2340364587","name":"Critical Care Ultrasound: A Review for Practicing Nephrologists","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1053/j.ackd.2016.01.015","authors":["Jennifer G.

Data of patients with and without AKI were compared using Student's t-test and Chi-squared statistic considering P <0.05 statistically significant. Eighty-four patients with ACS were included in the study; their mean age was 57.6 ± 14.4 years [standard deviation (SD)], 75% were males and their mean stay in the CCU was 4.3 ± 3 days (SD). Of them, 71.4% had ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI), 22.6% had non-STEMI, and 6% had unstable angina. About 41.7% had AKI (19% had AKI Stage 1, 17.9% had AKI Stage 2, and 4.8% had AKI Stage 3).

In this study of ACS patients, the incidence of AKI was high, the CCU mortality among the AKI patients was 25.7% compared with 6.12% in the non-AKI patients, and the mortality worsened with increasing severity of AKI.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/1319-2442.185238","authors":["Mahdia A Buargub","Zohra Omar Elmokhtar"],"tags":["Medicine","Acute kidney injury","Acute coronary syndrome","Incidence (geometry)","Myocardial infarction"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.4103/1319-2442.185238","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W2413440193","name":"Trends in Mortality from Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Coronary Care Unit","source":"openalex","abstract":"INTRODUCTION: The treatment and outcome of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has evolved greatly over the past few decades. We compared the mortality and complication rates of patients with AMI admitted to the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) in 2002 to previously reported data. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All data for AMI patients admitted to National Heart Centre CCU in 2002 were collected through the Singapore Cardiac Data Bank, including demographics, in hospital complications and mortality. These were compared to previous reports from the same institution in 1988, 1975 and 1967. RESULTS: A total of 516 cases with AMI were identified. A higher proportion of patients were aged >or=70 years in 2002 (31.8%) compared to 1988 (25%), 1975 (11%) and 1967 (5.6%). Acute percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was performed in 250 of 516 (48%) patients in 2002. The overall in-patient and age-standardised mortality was 14.7% and 10% respectively, compared to 20.6% and 17% respectively in 1988 (P = 0.06). For the 250 patients who underwent acute PTCA, overall mortality was 5.2% compared to 24% in those who did not (P <0.001). Common in-hospital complications included heart failure (38%), non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (8%), atrial fibrillation (8%) and complete heart block (6%). Age, heart failure, bundle branch block and sustained ventricular tachycardia were associated with higher mortality by univariate analysis. On multivariate analysis, older age, heart failure and the absence of percutaneous intervention were independently associated with higher mortality. CONCLUSION: In-hospital mortality for AMI patients admitted to the CCU declined from 1988 to 2002 despite a higher proportion of elderly patients. The introduction of new therapies including drugs and percutaneous intervention may have contributed to this decline.","url":"https://doi.org/10.47102/annals-acadmedsg.v36n12p974","authors":["Peter Ting","Terrance SJ Chua","Aaron Wong","Ling Ling Sim","Virlynn Tan","Tian Hai Koh"],"tags":["Medicine","Myocardial infarction","Internal medicine","Coronary care unit","Cardiology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2007-12-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.47102/annals-acadmedsg.v36n12p974","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W4399783624","name":"Carbon sequestration in cementitious systems through CO2-rich hydration and chemically enforced CO2 mineralization","source":"openalex","abstract":"Cementitious materials as a medium of carbon capture, and utilization (CCU) have recently attracted considerable attentions. Atmospheric CO2 can be absorbed in hardened concrete, which can be also accelerated by early age CO2 curing.

In this study, the CO2 mixing time was set as the primary variable to elucidate the precipitation of the carbonate phases in the early stages and its effect on cement hydration. The dissociated CO2 is directly mineralized into calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in calcite phase. In addition, the longer the CO2 mixing time, the greater the precipitation of calcite (i.e., CCU capacity), thereby densifying the internal microstructure and improving early strength development. Interestingly, a certain amount of calcite converted to monocarboaluminate—an important factor for quantitatively assessing the degree of mineral carbonation in cementitious materials.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2024.102834","authors":["Won Kyung Kim","Jihoon Lee","Junboum Park","Juhyuk Moon"],"tags":["Calcite","Carbonation","Cementitious","Calcium carbonate","Cement"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2024.102834","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W3158891475","name":"Clinical and Pathologic Spectrum of DDX41- Mutated Hematolymphoid Neoplasms","source":"openalex","abstract":"OBJECTIVES: This study seeks to further characterize the clinicopathologic spectrum of DDX41-mutated hematolymphoid malignancies.

The five most important predictors of CCU scores were related to the users' strength of craving for pornography experiences, suppression of negative emotions porn use motive, frequency of cyberporn use over the past year, acceptance of rape myths, and anxious attachment style. Conclusions: From a large and diverse pool of variables, we determined the most important predictors of CCU scores. The findings contribute to a better understanding of problematic pornography use and could enrich compulsive cyberporn treatment and prevention.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.abrep.2024.100542","authors":["Farah Ben Brahim","Robert Courtois","Germano Vera Cruz","Yasser Khazaal"],"tags":["Clinical psychology","Psychosocial","Psychology","Pornography","Population"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.abrep.2024.100542","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W4363647810","name":"Progress in Electrodeposited Copper Catalysts for CO2 Conversion to Valuable Products","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is a key area of research for CO2 abatement.

We collected information on patients with various diseases in coronary care units (CCUs) from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. The purpose of this study was to use this information to construct a neural-network model based on deep learning to predict the survival probabilities of patients with conditions that are common in CCUs. METHOD: We collected information on patients in the United States with five common diseases in CCUs from 2001 to 2012. We randomly divided the patients into a training cohort and a testing cohort at a ratio of 7 : 3 and applied a survival prediction method based on deep learning to predict their survival probability. We compared our model with the Cox proportional-hazards regression (CPH) model and used the concordance indexes (C-indexes), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and calibration plots to evaluate the predictive performance of the model. RESULTS: < 0.05). We used the training cohort to construct a deep-learning model, for which the C-index was 0.833, or about 5% higher than that for the CPH model (0.786). The C-index of the deep-learning model for the test cohort was 0.822, which was also higher than that for the CPH model (0.782). The areas under the ROC curve for the 28-day, 90-day, and 1-year survival probabilities were 0.875, 0.865, and 0.874, respectively, in the deep-learning model, respectively, and 0.830, 0.843, and 0.806 in the CPH model. These values indicate that the survival analysis model based on deep learning is better than the traditional CPH model in predicting the survival of CCU patients.

This study developed a recursive dynamic Asia-Pacific Integrated Model/Computable General Equilibrium (AIM/CGE) model of Thailand for the assessment. The macroeconomic impacts of Thailand’s net-zero GHG emission targets by 2050 are analyzed relative to its 2-degree pathway. Results indicate that Thailand should put more effort in GHG mitigation actions to achieve the emissions peak by 2025 and net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. Improvement in energy efficiency; increasing electrification; expanding renewable energy utilization; deploying green hydrogen; bioenergy; carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS); and behavioral changes are the key identified pillars of decarbonization to drive Thailand towards the pathways of net-zero emissions by 2050. Results show that there is a possibility of attaining net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 at the expense of an economic loss for Thailand. The gross domestic product (GDP) loss would be as high as 8.5% in 2050 to attain net-zero emissions. Lower productivity from the energy intensive industries such as petroleum refineries, coal and lignite mining, manufacturing industries, and transport are the key contributing sectors to the GDP losses. The price of carbon mitigation would shoot up to reach USD 734 per tCO2eq in 2050 from USD 14 per tCO2eq in 2025 to attain net-zero emissions in 2050.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11625-023-01319-y","authors":["Salony Rajbhandari","Pornphimol Winyuchakrit","Bijay B.

Data were collected on resuscitation attempts, transportation to hospital, coronary care unit (CCU) stay and medication use before and during the CCU stay. RESULTS: The median time delay between onset of symptoms and arrival at the CCU decreased by approximately 7 minutes per year. The average length of CCU stay decreased from 2.9 to 2.7 days and there were between hospital variations in length of CCU stay. The most striking change in drug therapy before the event was the increase in the use of antiplatelet agents from 5% in 1983 to 18.3% in 1990. There was also a big increase in the proportion of patients using antiplatelets (3.5 fold) and thrombolytic drugs (5.5 fold) during the CCU stay, in 1990, 50% of patients received thrombolytic agents and 56% received antiplatelet agents.

DNMT3A is the most commonly mutated gene and while single mutations do not raise the likelihood of progression, high variant allele frequencies (VAF) and presence of co-mutations do. In myeloid diseases, the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment exhibits alterations promoting malignant transformation. However, it is unknown whether similar alterations exist in the pre-malignant niche. We set out to analyze whether human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) from CHIP individuals with a DNMT3A mutation ( DNMT3A mut) are altered and whether they are able to remodel the HSPC compartment in healthy hematopoiesis. From our published cohort of previously sequenced BM samples from hematologically healthy individuals undergoing hip replacement surgery, we selected samples with either an isolated DNMT3A mut at a low VAF (2.47-6.8%, n=4, median age 73.5y, termed low-risk CHIP), or DNMT3A mut samples with a high VAF (17.5-28.5%) and at least one co-mutation (n=5, median age 73y, termed high-risk CHIP) as well as 12 age-matched samples without any mutation (n=12, median age 72y). HSPC were isolated from 3 younger healthy donors (median age 50y). MSC were expanded by plastic adherence and subjected to multilevel characterization. Compared to age-matched healthy controls, MSC from DNMT3A mut BM samples (CHIP-MSC) exhibited higher proliferation rates, lower colony-forming-unit (CFU) fibroblast capacity, as well as reduced adipogenic and increased osteogenic differentiation potential. To understand how altered CHIP-MSC influence the hematopoietic compartment, younger healthy CD34+ HSPC were co-cultured with the different MSC subgroups for 42 hours in a low cytokine-containing medium, followed by bulk RNAseq on subsequently sorted cell populations (MSC: CD45-/CD90+; HSPC: CD45+/CD34+). We found 31 differentially expressed genes (DEG) (logFC±0.5, FDR<0.05) in CHIP-MSC compared to their age-matched counterparts. Functional analyses suggested an activation of communication towards HSPC via extracellular vesicles. Strikingly, differential gene expression of sorted young healthy HSPC after co-culture revealed 375 DEG (322 up-regulated, 53 down-regulated; logFC±0.5, FDR<0.05) in HSPC cultured with CHIP compared to non-CHIP age-matched MSC (Figure panel A). We then used gene set variation analysis (GSVA) to analyze HSPC compartment composition after co-culture. Based on enrichment scores, unsupervised clustering identified two distinctive profiles that correlated with HSPC cultured with either non-CHIP or high-risk CHIP-MSC, while those cultured with low-risk CHIP-MSC showed an intermediate phenotype (Figure panel B). Co-culture of HSPC with high-risk CHIP-MSC resulted in enrichment of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and multipotent progenitors (MPP), as well as myeloid skewing represented by higher scores for common-myeloid (CMP) and granulocyte-monocyte (GMP) progenitors. Conversely, in contrast to the control group, megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors (MEP) were underrepresented. CFU capacity was increased in healthy HSPC cultured with CHIP-MSC and multiparameter flow cytometry analysis showed a trend towards increased CMP/GMP and decreased MEP numbers, consistent with the RNAseq data. Finally, we evaluated the BM HSPC compartment composition of a cohort of 49 CCUS patients with DNMT3A mut (VAF 1-49%, median age 76y) compared to 56 control BM samples using whole transcriptome sequencing data. Intriguingly, we observed the same profile with a myeloid shift in progenitor populations as in our healthy young HSPC exposed to high-risk CHIP-MSC.

Geologic carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration (GCS), wherein supercritical CO2 is injected into subsurface storage space, is under broad development in sedimentary reservoirs – particularly for hydrocarbon production, which uses supercritical CO2 as part of a carbon capture utilization and sequestration (CCUS) scheme. A novel CCUS operation is presented whereby we investigate the staged deployment of a coupled geothermal energy extraction (GEE)‐GCS operation in geothermal sedimentary reservoirs that re‐circulates extracted fluids. We identify sedimentary resources of the continental USA that have significant temperature at depths suitable for GCS. To predict the impact of a GEE‐GCS operation, a reservoir‐scale semi‐analytical model is used to simulate brine and CO2 migration through existing leakage pathways. With the goal of integrating GEE and GCS, a well‐site design exercise is undertaken, where we develop an idealized configuration for CO2 and brine production/reinjection wells. Results show potential geothermal sedimentary reservoirs suitable for GEE deployment exist in the continental USA; however the characteristics of each site should be investigated through a first stage GEE‐operation to determine GCS capacity. Our active CO2 reservoir management simulations demonstrate a decrease in injection and reservoir overpressures, a reduced migration of CO2 within the reservoir during active injection/extraction, and a reduced risk of brine and CO2 migration. With the use of the developed concentric‐ring well pattern, we demonstrate the longevity of thermal productivity from an ideal GEE site, while providing sufficient CO2 storage volume and trapping to act as a sequestration operation. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ghg.1328","authors":["Thomas Elliot","Thomas A.

This paper aims to analyse different optimal system configurations in order to meet net-zero emission targets in 2050. Overall, the paper presents two main contributions: first, we develop and introduce the IESA-NS model. The IESA-NS model is an optimization integrated energy system model written as a linear problem. The IESA-NS model optimizes the long-term investment planning and short-term operation of seven North Sea region countries (Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom). The model can optimize multiple years simultaneously, accounts for all the national GHG emissions and includes a thorough representation of all the sectors of the energy system. Second, we run several decarbonisation scenarios with net-zero emission targets in 2050. Relevant parameters varied to produce the scenarios include biomass availability, VRE potentials, low social acceptance of onshore VRE, ban of CCUS or mitigation targets in international transport and industry feedstock. Results show a large use of hydrogen when international transport emissions are considered in the targets (5.6 EJ to 7.3 EJ). Electrolysis is the preferred pathway for hydrogen production (up to 6.4 EJ), far ahead of natural gas reforming (up to 2.2 EJ). Allowing offshore interconnectors (e.g. meshed offshore grid between the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom) permits to integrate larger amounts of offshore wind (122 GW to 191 GW of additional capacity compared to reference scenarios), while substantially increasing the cross-border interconnection capacities (up to 120 GW). All the biomass available is used in the scenarios across multiple end uses, including biofuel production (up to 3.5 EJ), high temperature heat (up to 2.5 EJ), feedstock for industry (up to 2 EJ), residential heat (up to 600 PJ) and power generation (up to 900 PJ). In general, most of the results justify the development of multinational energy system models, in which the spatial coverage lays between national and continental models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.adapen.2021.100080","authors":["Rafael Martínez-Gordón","Manuel Sánchez Diéguez","Amirhossein Fattahi","Germán Morales-España","Jos Sijm","André Faaij"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Investment (military)","Environmental science","Multinational corporation","Offshore wind power"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.adapen.2021.100080","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W3124605197","name":"Scenario assessment for producing methanol through carbon capture and utilization technologies considering regional characteristics","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2021.101452","authors":["Shinichirou Morimoto","Nguyễn Thị Thủy","Naomi Kitagawa","Sho Kataoka"],"tags":["Carbon footprint","Renewable energy","Greenhouse gas","Environmental science","Process engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-01-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2021.101452","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W3106869348","name":"Graphical analysis of CO2 emissions reduction strategies","source":"openalex","abstract":"The emergence of increased numbers of CO2 utilization options to convert CO2 from emissions sources requires decision-making as to which emission sources to choose for CO2 capture and which of the many available utilization technologies or sequestration options to implement. The overarching goal of any strategy is to achieve emissions reductions at low costs. Recent developments have addressed the problem of designing CO2 Integration Networks with minimum costs to achieve low cost emissions reductions, while considering many alternative processing schemes that exist across multiple CO2 emissions sources and alternative utilization and storage sinks. However, the network optimization is complex and provides results in the form of detailed CO2 processing network configurations as opposed to high-level insights into the problem. There is currently no simple graphical analysis method available that can give quick insights into the economics of the problem across all available CO2 sources, utilization and storage options. In this work, a graphical representation is proposed that allows the analysis of CO2 capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) strategies. It allows the quick identification of the lowest cost portfolio for CO2 utilization and storage options for a given set of CO2 emissions sources without the need to resort to detailed and time-consuming network optimization. It also enables the economic analysis of alternative CCUS strategies developed based on other criteria such as environmental merit.

A 90% CO 2 purity and recovery is typically required for that application. This set of constraints does not apply within a carbon capture and use (CCU) scenario, because the objective is to ensure carbon dioxide transformation at minimal cost. In this study, a dense polymeric glassy membrane (Matrimid) and a chemically reacting fixed site carrier membrane (FSCM) are investigated in order to achieve a partial carbon dioxide capture and concentration, which could be of interest in order to intensify the carbon dioxide transformation step. The importance of humidity in the carbon capture performance with solution–diffusion membranes is highlighted: flue gas compression significantly changes the inlet water content of the membrane module, and water decreases the membrane separation performances, increases the specific energy requirement, and decreases the membrane surface area because of an internal sweep effect. On the basis of a case study, the performance of a FSCM is shown to be close to the solution–diffusion membrane performance in terms of surface area and energy requirement. However, the FSCM offers two major advantages compared to the solution–diffusion membrane: compatibility to wet flue gases and high CO 2 purity. A FSCM single-stage module, operated with a 50% CO 2 capture ratio, is suggested to offer the best trade-off for CCU applications with a high carbon dioxide purity (95%) and a low specific surface area and energy requirement.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.6b03969","authors":["Marc Pfister","Bouchra Belaissaoui","Éric Favre"],"tags":["Flue gas","Carbon dioxide","Membrane","Chemical engineering","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-12-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.6b03969","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W2056857630","name":"Intermediate Coronary Care","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1378/chest.73.2.154","authors":["Sylvan Lee Weinberg"],"tags":["Medicine","Intensive care medicine","Cardiology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"1978-02-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1378/chest.73.2.154","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W204454242","name":"Industrial Utilization of CO2: A Win–Win Solution","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-0545-4_9","authors":["Nazim Muradov"],"tags":["Revenue","Maturity (psychological)","Investment (military)","Environmental economics","Natural resource economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2014-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-0545-4_9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W2099551148","name":"Inheritance and linkage relationships of isozyme and morphological loci in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00221899","authors":["Vladimir Meglič","Jack E.

Therefore, this study investigated the characteristics and outcomes of patients readmitted to CCU to identify risk factors for CCU readmission and to establish a scoring system for identifying patients at high risk for CCU readmission. Methods: Medical data were collected for 27,841 patients with a history of readmission to the CCU of a single multi-center healthcare provider in Taiwan during 2001-2019. Characteristics and outcomes were compared between a readmission group and a non-readmission group. Data were segmented at a 9:1 ratio for model building and validation. Results: The number of patients with a CCU readmission history after transfer to a standard care ward was 1,790 (6.4%). The eleven factors that had the strongest associations with CCU readmission were used to develop and validate a CCU readmission risk scoring and prediction model. When the model was used to predict CCU readmission, the receiver-operating curve characteristic was 0.7038 for risk score model group and 0.7181 for the validation group. A CCU readmission risk score was assigned to each patient. The patients were then stratified by risk score into low risk (0-12), moderate risk (13-31) and high risk (32-40) cohorts check scores, which showed that CCU readmission risk significantly differed among the three groups. Conclusions: This study developed a model for estimating CCU readmission risk. By using the proposed model, clinicians can improve CCU patient outcomes and medical care quality.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fcvm.2022.825181","authors":["Tien‐Yu Chen","Chien-Hao Tseng","Po‐Jui Wu","Wen-Jung Chung","Chien‐Ho Lee","Chia‐Chen Wu","Cheng‐I Cheng"],"tags":["Medicine","Framingham Risk Score","Emergency medicine","Receiver operating characteristic","Risk assessment"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-02-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fcvm.2022.825181","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W2152208865","name":"Challenges and opportunities for the emerging carbon capture, utilisation and storage innovation system in the United Arab Emirates","source":"openalex","abstract":"Beginning 2006, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has embarked on the carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) sector to enhance its oil production through enhanced oil recovery whilst sealing future carbon-dioxide emissions in geological formations.

GOAL: The goal of this study was to assess the clinical usability of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) as a screening instrument for cognitive impairment in schizophrenic patients, alone and in correlation with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). MATERIAL AND METHODS: This clinical prospective study included 30 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Patients were selected from Psychiatric Clinic, Clinical Center University of Sarajevo (CCUS) during 2010. For assessment of cognitive impairment we used Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). RESULTS: From the total number of respondents (n=30), 15/30 (50 %) were males and 15/30 (50 %) were females; age of onset were 23.5±6.69; duration of illness before hospitalization (mean±SD) 32.5±12.9. If we make a comparison of MoCA scale and MMSE under the limit values, then we get that there was 10 true positive, 4 true negative, 14 false positive and 2 false negative. This all leads to sensitivity of MoCA scale again in comparison with the MMSE of 41.7%, specificity 66.7%, positive predictive value of 83.3% and negative predictive value of 22.2%.

The first stage utilises a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system, which offers many benefits over current amine technologies. It was found that high selectivity can be achieved with rapid adsorption/desorption times whilst employing a cheap, durable sorbent that exhibits no sorbent losses and is easily regenerated by simple pressure drops. The PSA system is capable capturing and upgrading the CO2 concentration of a waste gas stream from 12.5% to a range of higher purities. As many CCU end processes have some tolerance towards impurities in the feed, in the form of nitrogen (N¬2) for example, this is highly advantageous for this PSA system since CO2 purities in excess of 80% can be achieved with only a few steps and minimal energy input. Non-thermal plasma is one such technology that can tolerate, and even benefit from, small N2 impurities in the feed, therefore a 100% pure CO2 stream is not required. The second stage of this process deploys a nanosecond pulsed corona discharge reactor to split the captured CO2 into carbon monoxide (CO), which can then be used as a chemical feedstock for other syntheses. Corona discharge has proven industrial applications for gas cleaning and the benefit of pulsed power reduces the energy consumption of the system. The wire-in-cylinder geometry concentrates the volume of gas treated into the area of high electric field. Previous work has suggested that moderate conversions can be achieved (9%), compared to other non-thermal plasma methods, but with higher energy efficiencies (>60%).","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2017.00020","authors":["Matthew S Moss","Daniel G.

The concept is related to the capture of CO 2 from stationary sources, treatment, transportation, utilization, and/or permanent storage. These low-carbon technologies can help Brazil reduce carbon emissions, mainly in the energy and industry sectors. Thus, the present chapter provides an overview of CCUS and BECCUS technologies and discusses the current scenario and future perspectives for their development in Brazil. For this, we analysed recent publications about CCUS and Bioenergy-CCUS (BECCUS) regarding the stages of capture, transport, usage and storage in Brazil, and we also systematized the technology specificities amongst CCUS and BECCUS. Some of the main results are the huge potential for associating BECCUS, considering Brazil's large production of biofuels, mainly bioethanol from sugarcane, and the advantages of capturing CO 2 from fermentation processes. The enhanced oil recovery, production of soft drinks, urea and methanol industries, and low-carbon hydrogen production are listed as some of the main possibilities for using the captured CO 2 . Also, the Paraná and Santos Sedimentary Basins were considered the most prospective for carbon storage, as they are located near large-scale CO 2 emission sources and have geologic favourability. Some of the main challenges observed for projects developments in Brazil are (i) the absence of a regulatory framework; (ii) the lack of public policies and financial incentives to leverage the commercial feasibility of CCUS projects; (iii) the assessment absence of water availability without compromising its multiple uses; (iv) the absence of an integrated pipeline grid to transport CO 2; and (v) the need of a more mature characterization of sedimentary basins for CO 2 storage and long-term behaviour to guarantee safe sequestration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-21033-4_9","authors":["Maria Rogieri Pelissari","Stefânia Gomes Relva","Drielli Peyerl"],"tags":["Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Environmental science","Greenhouse gas","Biofuel","Renewable energy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-21033-4_9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W1975266618","name":"Nurses' perceptions of patients' needs for information and their concerns in an English coronary care unit","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/0266-612x(85)90004-5","authors":["Louise Wallace","Marion Joshi","Carole Wingett","Christine Wilson","David Spellman"],"tags":["Anxiety","Coronary care unit","Perception","Information needs","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"1985-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/0266-612x(85)90004-5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W378084286","name":"Coronary Care Manual","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background to Coronary Care.

This study hopes to generate data that can help managers and doctors to improve the standard of care they provide in line with the wishes of the patients. METHODS: It was a cross sectional study carried out at a major tertiary care hospital of Karachi. Patients between the ages of 18 and 80 years admitted to the hospital for at least one day were included. Patients in the maternity, psychiatry and chemotherapy wards and those in the ICU/CCU were excluded. A pretested, peer reviewed translation of a validated patient satisfaction scale developed by the Picker Institute of Europe was administered. RESULTS: A total of 173 patients (response rate: 78.6 %) filled the questionnaire. Patient satisfaction was at levels comparable to European surveys for most aspects of hospital care. However, nearly half the patients (48%) felt they had to wait too long to get a bed in the hospital after presenting to the ER. 68.6% of the patients said that they were never asked for views on the quality of care provided. 20% of the patients did not find anyone in the staff to talk to about their worries and fears while 27.6% felt that they were given emotional support to only some extent. Up to one third of the patients said they were not provided enough information regarding their operative procedures beforehand. CONCLUSION: Although several components of patient care equal the quality levels of the west, many sections require considerable improvement in order to improve health care provision. The healthcare team needs to get more involved with the patients, providing them greater support and keeping them informed and involved with their medical treatment. Efforts should be made to get regular feedback from the patients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6963-7-161","authors":["Sardar Zakariya Imam","Khezar Syed","Syed Ahad Ali","Syed Umer Ali","Kiran Fatima","Marium Gill","Muhammad Hassan","Saad Hasan Hashmi","Maham T Siddiqi","Hadi Muhammad Khan","Omar Farooq Jameel"],"tags":["Medicine","Health administration","Cross-sectional study","Nursing research","Health informatics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2007-10-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6963-7-161","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W2933768255","name":"Planning India's First CO2-EOR Project as Carbon Capture Utilization & Storage: A Step Towards Sustainable Growth","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract India is the fastest growing major economy and third largest CO2 emitter in the world. Keeping cognizance of country's energy requirement and commitment to climate change, embarking upon technologies having minimal carbon footprint is the need of the hour. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is one such technology which offers dual benefits of carbon sequestration & enhancing oil production from mature oils fields. This paper outlines ONGC's efforts in bringing nation's first CO2-EOR project. In view of non-availability of natural CO2 sources in India, usage of anthropogenic CO2 captured from thermal power plants was conceptualised. Based upon CO2 source-sink matching exercise and favourable reservoir & fluid parameters, two oil fields were screened. Technical feasibility of CO2-EOR was first ascertained in laboratory by determination of minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) of CO2 through slim tube experiments. Encouraged by laboratory results, full field compositional simulation studies along with fluid characterization inputs from PVT simulator were carried out. The MMP were found to be in range 190-250 Ksc, which is below the initial reservoir pressures of the targeted reservoirs. The proposed scheme entails drilling of around 70-80 wells inclusive of both producers & injectors and has the potential to yield an incremental recovery between 10-14 %. A sensitivity analysis based upon purity of CO2 and its adverse effect on MMP was carried out in terms of reduced oil recoveries. Since, this shall be a CCUS project, CO2 from the produced stream has to be separated, compressed and reinjected in a closed loop system. Around 5-8 MMT of CO2 will be sequestrated through Structural, Solubility and Residual trapping mechanisms as modelled in compositional simulator. IFT reduction & decrease in Sor (Residual oil saturation) as result of swelling, miscibility of CO2 with native oil were also modelled in simulator. Being first of its kind project in India, there are many inherent challenges to the CCUS project. At the source end, capturing CO2 from flue gas stream and its compression & transportation is a cost and energy intensive process. At the Sink end, CO2 being acidic and corrosive gas will need retrofit modifications in terms of special corrosion resistant metallurgy for existing processing facilities. The learning curve from this endeavour shall create knowledge base to further expand deployment of CCUS in India, bringing a large portfolio of reservoirs under the ambit of CO2-EOR. Success of CCUS in India will not only increase domestic oil production but also cater to address the National INDC of reducing emission intensity of GDP by 33-35 percent by 2030 as per Paris agreement.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/194629-ms","authors":["Gaurav Kumar Mishra","Rakesh Kumar Meena","Sujit Mitra","Kunal Saha","Vilas Pandurangji Dhakate","Om Prakash","Raman K.

Although in the region there are over 100 carbon dioxide emitters covered by the EU ETS, over 90% of emissions come from approximately 15 large hard coal power plants and from the coke and metallurgical complex. The CCUS scenario for Upper Silesia, which encompasses emitters, capture plants, transport routes, as well as utilisation and storage sites until 2050, was developed. The baseline scenario assumes capture of carbon dioxide in seven installations, use in two methanol plants and transport and injection into two deep saline aquifers (DSA). The share of captured CO2 from flue gas was assumed at the level of 0.25–0.9, depending mainly on the limited capacity of storage. To recognise the views of society on development of the CCUS technologies in Upper Silesia, thirteen interviews with different types of stakeholders (industry, research and education, policy makers) were conducted. The respondents evaluated CCU much better than CCS. The techno-economic assessment of CCUS carried out on a scenario basis showed that the economic outcome of the scenario with CCUS is EUR 3807.19 million more favourable compared to the scenario without CO2 capture and storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15124495","authors":["Anna Śliwińska","Aleksandra Strugała-Wilczek","Piotr Krawczyk","Agnieszka Leśniak","Tomasz Urych","Jarosław Chećko","Krzysztof Stańczyk"],"tags":["Per capita","Carbon dioxide","Environmental science","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Flue gas"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-06-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15124495","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W4392755353","name":"Integrating China's carbon capture, utilization, and storage policy for sustainable development: Insights from content analysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Insufficient supporting policies jeopardize the role of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) in climate action and energy transition.

However, there is potential for Quality Improvement (QI) teams to improve pain management by visualising and exploring pain data sets. Although dashboards are already used by QI teams in hospitals, there is limited evidence of teams accessing visualisations to support their decision making. This study aims to identify the needs of the QI team in a UK Critical Care Unit (CCU) and develop dashboards that visualise longitudinal data on the efficacy of patient pain management to assist the team in making informed decisions to improve pain management within the CCU. This research is based on an analysis of transcripts of interviews with healthcare professionals with a variety of roles in the CCU and their evaluation of probes. We identified two key uses of pain data: direct patient care (focusing on individual patient data) and QI (aggregating data across the CCU and over time); in this paper, we focus on the QI role. We have identified how CCU staff currently interpret information and determine what supplementary information can better inform their decision making and support sensemaking. From these, a set of data visualisations has been proposed, for integration with the hospital electronic health record. These visualisations are being iteratively refined in collaboration with CCU staff and technical staff responsible for maintaining the electronic health record. The paper presents user requirements for QI in pain management and a set of visualisations, including the design rationale behind the various methods proposed for visualising and exploring pain data using dashboards.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fdata.2021.654914","authors":["Jeremy Opie","Maura Bellio","Rachel A.

The purpose of the current study was to measure the degree of compliance with hand hygiene practices among health care workers in intensive care facilities at Aseer Central Hospital (ACH), south-western Saudi Arabia. METHODS: Data were collected by direct observation of health care workers in intensive care units delivering routine care, using the standardized World Health Organization method for direct observation \"Five moments for hand hygiene\" approach. Observations were made during February-April 2011, by well-trained infection control nurses during their routine visits to the units. The moment the observer identified an indication, it was counted as an opportunity to which there should be a corresponding positive or negative action (hand washing). RESULTS: The present study included 536 opportunities (observations) collected from the intensive care unit (ICU), intermediate care unit (IMCU), cardiac care unit (CCU), and pediatric care unit (PICU) of ACH. Observations covered 179 nurses and 34 physicians working in these units. Overall, hand hygiene non-compliance was observed in 41.0%. The study showed that events before contact with the patient (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 6.575, 95% confidence interval (CI) 4.461-9.691), being a physician (aOR 1.712, 95% CI 1.126-2.989), and work in the IMCU (aOR 2.140, 95% CI 1.202-3.811) were significant risk factors for hand hygiene non-compliance in the hospital. CONCLUSIONS: The observed high figures of hand hygiene non-compliance warrant intensifying education to promote local hand hygiene and training programs to help embed efficient and effective hand hygiene into all elements of care delivery in the intensive care units of ACH.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2013.02.025","authors":["Ahmed A.

The BLITZ-4 Registry","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: To describe drug adherence and treatment goals, and to identify the independent predictors of smoking persistence and unsatisfactory lifestyle habits six months after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS AND RESULTS: 11,706 patients with AMI (30% female, mean age 68 years) were enrolled in 163 large-volume coronary care units (CCUs). At six months, drug adherence was ≥90%, while blood pressure (BP) <140/90 mmHg, low density lipoprotein (LDL) <100 mg/dl (in patients on statins), HbA1c <7% (in treated diabetics), and smoking persistence were observed in 74%, 76%, 45%, and 27% of patients, respectively. Inadequate fish intake decreased from 73% to 55%, inadequate intake of fruit and vegetables from 32% to 23%, and insufficient exercise in eligible patients from 74% to 59% (p < 0.0001). At multivariable analysis, a post-discharge cardiac visit and referral to cardiac rehabilitation at follow-up were independently associated with a lower risk of insufficient physical exercise (odds ratio (OR) 0.71 and 0.70, respectively) and persistent smoking (OR 0.68 and 0.60), whereas only referral to cardiac rehabilitation was associated with a lower risk of inadequate fish and fruit/vegetable intake (OR 0.70 and 0.65). CONCLUSIONS: Six months after an AMI, despite a high adherence to drug treatments, BP, LDL, and diabetic goals are inadequately achieved. Subjects with healthy lifestyles improved after discharge, but the rate of those with regular exercise habits and adequate fish intake could be further improved. Access to post-discharge cardiac visit and referral to cardiac rehabilitation were associated with better adherence to healthy lifestyles. Knowledge of the variables associated with specific lifestyle changes may help in tailoring secondary prevention programmes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/2047487314561876","authors":["Stefano Urbinati","Zoran Olivari","Lucio Gonzini","Stefano Savonitto","Rosario Farina","Maurizio Del Pinto","Alberto Valbusa","Giuseppe Fantini","Alessandra Mazzoni","Aldo P.

However, ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) differs from non-ST-elevation ACS in many aspects. We elucidated sex differences in risk factors, angiographic findings and outcome in consecutive STEMI patients below 46 years of age. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: The Swedish registers for CCU care and coronary angioplasty; RIKS-HIA and SCAAR. PATIENTS: 2132 STEMI patients below 46 years of age admitted to intensive coronary care units in Sweden between 1995 and 2006 and followed for at least 1 year. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Angiographic findings and short-term and long-term mortality. RESULTS: Risk factors were more common in women. Significant coronary lesions were equally common (92.1% vs 93.1%, p=0.64) while single vessel disease was more common (72.9% vs 59.3%; p<0.001) in women. Women had higher multivariable adjusted in-hospital mortality, OR 2.85 (95% CI 1.31 to 6.19) while long-term mortality was the same, HR 0.93 (95% CI 0.60 to 1.45). The catch-up of mortality in men might be related to a higher occurrence of re-infarctions, HR 1.82 (95% CI 1.25 to 2.65). CONCLUSIONS: STEMI below age 46 is a more rare condition in women than in men and more often related to cardiovascular risk factors. More than 90% of both men and women had coronary lesions, in women more often single vessel lesions. Female sex is associated with higher in-hospital mortality, while long-term mortality is low without difference between genders.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/hrt.2009.175463","authors":["Sofia Sederholm Lawesson","Ulf Stenestrand","Bo Lagerqvist","Lars Wallentin","Eva Swahn"],"tags":["Medicine","Internal medicine","Myocardial infarction","Acute coronary syndrome","Cardiology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2010-03-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1136/hrt.2009.175463","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W2955992209","name":"La contención mecánica en unidades de cuidados críticos desde la experiencia de los médicos y técnicos en cuidados auxiliares de enfermería: buscando una lectura interdisciplinar","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enfi.2019.01.004","authors":["M.

Among hospitalized children younger than 2 years old, prematurity was a risk factor for CCU admission [1.89 (1.47-2.43)]. The CCU admission rate gradually decreased over the waves (from 31.0 to 17.8%). There were 32 (0.4%) deaths, of which the median age was 6 years (IQR: 177 days-15.5 years). Conclusion: Some children need to be more particularly protected from a severe evolution: newborns younger than 7 days old, children aged from 2 to 13 years who are more at risk of PIMS forms and patients with at least one underlying medical condition.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fped.2022.975826","authors":["Blandine Prévost","A.

Few studies have empirically tested how certain factors influence the quality of handover in the Saudi context. METHODS: A descriptive correlational design was used with a convenience sample of all nurses (N = 201) working in Saudi hospital CCUs in 2022. Demographics and handover quality instruments were used to collect the necessary data in addition to two open-ended questions that asked about perceived barriers and facilitators to handover. The analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. RESULTS: The majority of nurses reported good-quality handover. The regression analysis showed that staffing, cognitive capacity, the focus of attention, relationships, and safety climate factors contributed positively to the variance of handover quality. In contrast, intrusions, distractions, anxiety, time stress, and acute and chronic fatigue factors negatively affected the prediction of handover quality (p < 0.05). Nurses added types of shifts and languages as barriers to handover while emphasizing training and the use of standardized tools for handover as facilitators. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Nursing handover is a multidimensional phenomenon. By understanding the determinants that contribute to or hinder handover quality, it is possible to develop targeted interventions aimed at improving communication and the quality of shift handover in CCUs. The current study's findings highlight the need for nurses to work in a more supportive environment, receive better training, and follow a standardized handover protocol. Additionally, nurse managers should pay more attention to nurses' well-being to control or mitigate the effect of psychological precursors on the quality of nurses' handover. Future research should investigate handover practices and outcomes on units that have both good and bad practice environments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12912-023-01348-z","authors":["Ebtsam Aly Abou Hashish","Atheer Ahmed Asiri","Yara Khaled Alnajjar"],"tags":["Handover","Descriptive statistics","Medicine","Psychological intervention","Staffing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-05-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12912-023-01348-z","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W3038319173","name":"Using Waste Carbon Feedstocks to Produce Chemicals","source":"openalex","abstract":"Emerging carbon capture utilization (CCU) technologies potentially allow chemical companies and other manufacturers to capture waste carbon—in the form of carbon monoxide (CO) and/or carbon dioxide (CO 2 )—from industrial emissions and process it into sustainable, value-added biofuels and chemicals. Using CCU technologies to consume waste feedstocks can cut production costs; benefit the environment; monetize industrial emissions; and, depending on the region, allow companies to meet CO 2 emissions goals. Moreover, using waste carbon to make chemicals can also reduce manufacturers' reliance on fossil fuels such as crude petroleum and natural gas, an important factor, particularly for the European Union and China, given the volatility in sourcing and pricing of fossil fuels, especially those that are imported. This working paper: 1) explains carbon's critical role in the production of chemicals and as a target for industrial emissions reduction; 2) describes new CCU technologies stemming from advances in fields such as industrial biotechnology and electrolysis; 3) identifies sectors and geographical locales in which these technologies are being adopted, as well as factors driving adoption; and 4) examines potential implications for US and global industrial competitiveness within one sector with high emissions, the steel industry. This paper concludes that these CCU technologies are promoting a paradigm shift that has the potential to increase firm-level competitiveness for manufacturers that adopt these processes, while also reducing the environmental impact of these manufacturers. To the extent that these technologies become widely adopted, they could result in substantial increases in supply of such chemicals globally, with potential disruptive impacts on trade and prices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/ind.2020.29217.ern","authors":["Elizabeth Nesbitt"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Business","Fossil fuel","Emerging technologies","Chemical industry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-06-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1089/ind.2020.29217.ern","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W4384165971","name":"Graphene and its tailoring as emerging 2D nanomaterials in efficient CO2 absorption: A state-of-the-art interpretative review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) has been introduced as the solution for increasing CO2, affecting many stakeholders.

Achieving the goal of “double carbon” is an inherent requirement for promoting high-quality development. Conforming to the development trend of the times, the “double carbon” goal is the necessary path of industrial transformation. The current situation of China’s energy production, consumption, and utilization in recent years shows that China’s energy has a simple structure, heavy external dependence, and low utilization efficiency which severely restricts the realization of China’s “double carbon” goal. Commencing the analysis of the current situation, this paper summarizes the implementation path from a “carbon emission reduction” and “carbon-negative technology” to accelerate the realization of the “double carbon” goal. First, statistical methods are used to analyze the implementation of a “carbon emission reduction” based on industrial technology reform, an energy structure adjustment, market mechanisms, public participation, and international cooperation. Second, the “carbon negative technology” path is explored in terms of afforestation, carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS), ecological management, and other technologies. In addition, feasible suggestions are made for four relationships, namely, the short and long-term, overall and local, development and emissions reduction, and government and market.

This would be achieved by moving the thrombolysis programme from the coronary care unit (CCU) to the accident and emergency (A&E) department. DESIGN: The process of audit was used to identify an area of poor performance, set standards, acquire funding, demonstrate achievement, and subsequently secure recurrent funding. SETTING: Gloucester Royal Hospital. SUBJECTS: 946 patients presenting consecutively to the A&E department with non-traumatic chest pain between August 1993 and March 1994. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: DTN, overall delay time, and acute myocardial infarction thrombolysis rate. RESULTS: 946 patients were assessed over the eight month period, of whom 266 (28%) had suffered an acute myocardial infarction; 182 (68%) received thrombolysis (compared to 58% previously P < 0.05). Median DTN was reduced to 38 min (v 110 min previously, P < 0.0006). 127 (70%) patients received thrombolysis in the A&E department, and 55 (30%) in the CCU. Median overall delay time between onset of pain and thrombolysis was 3 h 35 min; 70% of patients received thrombolysis within 6 h of onset of symptoms and 90% within 12 h. Re-audit has subsequently shown maintenance of improvement. CONCLUSIONS: An in-house A&E based thrombolysis programme works in the District General Hospital setting; the process of audit can be used to acquire, and subsequently secure, funding for the project.

Integrating CO2-foam techniques with carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) operations is of recent interest, as the mobility control and sweep efficiency increases seen in EOR could also benefit CO2 storage during CCUS. In this study, a variety of different charge, hydrocarbon chain length, head group surfactants were evaluated by surface tension, bulk and dynamic CO2-foam performance assessments for CCUS. The optimal foam candidate was expected to provide satisfying mobility control effects under reservoir conditions, leading to an improved water displacement efficiency during CO2-foam flooding that favors a more significant CO2 storage potential. All tested surfactants were able to lower their surface tensions against scCO2 by 4-5 times, enlarging the surface area of solution/gas contact; therefore, more CO2 could be trapped in the foam system. A zwitterionic surfactant was found to have slightly higher surface tension against CO2 while exhibiting the highest foaming ability and the most prolonged foam stability with a relatively slower drainage rate among all tested surfactants. The dynamic performance of scCO2-foam stabilized by this zwitterionic surfactant was also evaluated in sandstone and carbonate cores at 13.79 MPa and 90°C. The results show that the mobility control development in carbonate core was relatively slower, suggesting a gradual foam generation process attributed to the higher permeability than the case in sandstone core. A more significant cumulative CO2 storage potential improvement, quantified based on the water production, was recorded in sandstone (53%) over the carbonate (47%). Overall, the selected foam has successfully developed CO2 mobility control and improved water displacement in the occurrence of in-situ foam generation, hence promoting the storage capacity for the injected CO2. This work has optimized the foaming agent selection method at the actual reservoir conditions and evaluated the scCO2-foam performance in establishing high flow resistance and improving the CO2 storage capacity, which benefits integrated CCUS studies or projects utilizing CO2-foam techniques.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/208141-ms","authors":["Ying Yu","Alvinda Sri Hanamertani","Shehzad Ahmed","Zunsheng Jiao","J.

METHODS: This retrospective observational study enrolled consecutive patients with AHF who required continuous invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) for >48 h and were admitted to a single-center cardiac care unit (CCU). The primary outcome was CCU length of stay (LoS). We compared patients who were initiated on EN within 48 h of intubation (EEN group) with those who were initiated on EN after 49 h of intubation (delayed EN [DEN] group). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent factors for primary and secondary outcomes. CCU LoS and IMV time were categorized using the median. RESULTS: We included 86 patients with AHF (EEN group, n = 56; DEN group, n = 30) who met the inclusion criteria. The median CCU LoS was significantly shorter in the EEN group (10 [8-15] days) than in the DEN group (15 [12-26] days, P = .007). Multivariate analysis indicated that time to EN initiation was an independent factor for CCU LoS (odds ratio [OR], 8.39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.18-32.20; P = .002), IMV time (OR, 4.84; 95% CI, 1.37-17.20; P = .015), and incidence of infection (OR, 2.73; 95％ CI, 1.04-7.18; P = .042). CONCLUSION: EEN (within 48 h of intubation) for patients with severe AHF who require continuous IMV might be associated with reduced CCU LoS, IMV time, and incidence of infection.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/jpen.2118","authors":["Takeshi Saijo","Koji Yasumoto","Makoto Ohashi","Chika Momoki","Daiki Habu"],"tags":["Medicine","Odds ratio","Mechanical ventilation","Confidence interval","Parenteral nutrition"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/jpen.2118","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W1983273096","name":"Patterns, predictors and preventability of adverse drug reactions in the coronary care unit of a tertiary care hospital","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00228-011-1138-9","authors":["Padmini Devi","Deepak Kamath","Naveen Anthony","Sushma Santosh","Brendan Hermenigildo Dias"],"tags":["Tertiary care","Medicine","Coronary care unit","Drug reaction","Drug"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2011-10-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00228-011-1138-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W2084986763","name":"Ureaplasma urealyticum causing persistent urethritis in a patient with hypogammaglobulinaemia.","source":"openalex","abstract":"Ureaplasma urealyticum organisms (ureaplasmas) were isolated in large numbers (up to 10(8) colour changing units (ccu)/ml) over a period of four years from the urethra of a man with hypogammaglobulinaemia and non-gonococcal urethritis. Elimination of Mycoplasma hominis by antibiotic treatment early in the course of the urethritis did not diminish the severity of his condition, which indicated that this mycoplasma was not a cause. Courses of treatment with tetracyclines, spectinomycin, erythromycin, rosaramicin, and clindamycin on each occasion reduced the numbers of ureaplasma isolated from the urethra and the severity of disease. The organisms were not eliminated, however, sometimes due to the development of antibiotic resistance, and the urethritis recurred. Though netilmicin was not particularly effective in vitro, it was effective clinically, the disease resolving and the organisms disappearing for five months. Recurrence of urethritis, accompanied by epididymitis, was associated this time with the recovery of a different (tetracycline sensitive) ureaplasma strain; the urethritis and epididymitis were treated successfully with a combination of netilmicin and doxycycline. The administration of ureaplasma antiserum did not seem to be instrumental in eradicating the ureaplasmas. The various antibiotics had a greater influence on the mycoplasmas in the urethra than on those in the throat and joints, perhaps because the antibiotics were concentrated in the urogenital tract. The close association between the occurrence of urethritis and the ureaplasmas suggests strongly that they were responsible for it.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/sti.61.6.404","authors":["David Taylor‐Robinson","P.

The most serious consequence, as is evident today, is the increase in CO2 levels responsible for adverse climate change, which compelled the United Nations to develop the Sustainable Energy Goal 13 (SDG-13), calling for immediate action to combat climate change and its effects. On the other hand, the increase in population has also resulted in a tremendous increase in waste generation, necessitating the need for safe and sustainable waste treatment. Over recent years, research has been concentrating on advanced thermal plasma technology to valorize diverse wastes into useful energy. The generated syngas can be utilized for energetic (such as heat and electricity) and chemical (such as methanol and dimethyl ether) end applications. The current investigation analyzes the viability of the thermal plasma system (a water-stabilized DC plasma torch) for the pyrolysis, partial pyrolysis, and gasification of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) coupled with the implementation of the CCUS concept using waste CO2 as a gasifying agent (which is planned to be separated from flue gas coming from waste combustion) and converting it into CO in the syngas through plasma valorization of RDF. A comparative evaluation of the attributes, impurities, and yield of syngas and the generation of solids (ash and char) is carried out along with the analysis of performance parameters for four different cases (with variable inputs of CO2, namely 173, 62, 26 and 0 L/m with gasification ratio ranging from 1.04 to 0.4). The syngas constituents are compared to the equilibrium compositions deduced by developing an equilibrium model in Aspen Plus (V 11.0) thermodynamic environment and are found to be close to the theoretical compositions. The highest gas yield is found for Case-I with 3.44 m3/kg due to the maximum carbon conversion, while the minimum gas yield is assessed as 1.60 m3/kg for Case-IV with high char production. Furthermore, H2 production was found to be almost the same for all cases (1.06–1.12 m3/kg of fuel). Furthermore, energetic efficiencies for all the four cases (63 %, 60 %, 62 % and 58 %) clearly reveal an encouraging energy balance. The theoretical maximum values of contaminants such as NH3, H2S, HCl, HF and HBr are calculated and a design of a syngas cleaning system is proposed. The promising results of the study can be considered a small but significant step towards SDG-13.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2022.102275","authors":["Vineet Singh Sikarwar","A.

Due to the cost constraints of CCUS implementation, improving recovery and maximizing storage efficiency have become a critical part of ensuring economic efficiency. This research aims to analyze the effects of key factors on enhancing gas recovery and storage efficiency, combined with the validation of CO2 displacement and storage mechanisms. Therefore, long core experiments and different dimensional simulations were established based on R gas reservoir (one of the actual gas reservoirs in Northeast China), which were designed for sensitivity analyses of different influencing parameters and quantitative analyses of different storage mechanisms during CCUS process. When the conditions (temperature and pressure) were closer to the CO2 critical point, when the following parameters (the CO2 purity, the injection rate and the dip angle) became larger, when the reservoir rhythm was reversed and when the irreducible water was is in existence, the final displacement and storage effects became better because of weaker diffusion, stronger gravity segregation and slower CO2 breakthrough. The contributions of different storage mechanisms were quantified: 83.78% CO2 existed as supercritical fluid; 12.67% CO2 was dissolved in brine; and 3.85% CO2 reacted with minerals. Some supercritical and dissolved CO2 would slowly transform to solid precipitation over time. This work could provide theoretical supports for CCUS technology research and references for CCUS field application. At the same time, countries should further improve CCUS subsidy policies and make concerted efforts to promote the globalization and commercialization of CO2 transport.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app13063419","authors":["Yulong Luo","Jiazheng Qin","Jianqin Cai","Yong Tang"],"tags":["Supercritical fluid","Brine","Petroleum engineering","Environmental science","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-03-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app13063419","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W170912852","name":"EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0749-0704(05)70004-x","authors":["Deborah J.

A reliable method for chronic monitoring of fluid status is therefore desirable. We evaluated an implantable system capable of measuring intrathoracic impedance to identify potential fluid overload before heart failure hospitalization and to determine the correlation between intrathoracic impedance and standard measures of fluid status during hospitalization. METHODS AND RESULTS: Thirty-three patients with NYHA class III and IV heart failure were implanted with a special pacemaker in the left pectoral region and a defibrillation lead in the right ventricle. Intrathoracic impedance was regularly measured and recorded between the lead and the pacemaker case. During hospitalizations, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and fluid status were monitored. Ten patients were hospitalized for fluid overload 25 times over 20.7+/-8.4 months. Intrathoracic impedance decreased before each admission by an average of 12.3+/-5.3% (P<0.001) over an average of 18.3+/-10.1 days. Impedance reduction began 15.3+/-10.6 days (P<0.001) before the onset of worsening symptoms. There was an inverse correlation between intrathoracic impedance and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (r=-0.61, P<0.001) and between intrathoracic impedance and net fluid loss (r=-0.70, P<0.001) during hospitalization. Automated detection of impedance decreases was 76.9% sensitive in detecting hospitalization for fluid overload, with 1.5 false-positive (threshold crossing without hospitalization) detections per patient-year of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Intrathoracic impedance is inversely correlated with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and fluid balance and decreased before the onset of patient symptoms and before hospital admission for fluid overload. Regular monitoring of impedance may provide early warning of impending decompensation and diagnostic information for titration of medication.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1161/circulationaha.104.492207","authors":["Cheuk‐Man Yu","Li Wang","Elaine Chau","Raymond Hon-Wah Chan","Shun‐Ling Kong","MAN‐OI TANG","Jill Christensen","Robert Stadler","Chu‐Pak Lau"],"tags":["Medicine","Heart failure","Cardiology","Internal medicine","Intensive care medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2005-08-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1161/circulationaha.104.492207","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.694Z"},{"id":"oa:W1971982190","name":"Ureaplasma urealyticum in the Urogenital Tract of Patients with Chronic Prostatitis or Related Symptomatology","source":"openalex","abstract":"To elucidate the role of Ureaplasma urealyticum as a causative organism in chronic prostatitis we investigated its incidence in the urogenital tract in 131 chronic prostatitis patients and 120 prostatodynia patients; the presence of common bacteria or Chlamydia trachomatis was also recorded.

Global health leaders call for perioperative capacity reports in limited-resource settings to guide improved health care initiatives. We describe a teaching hospital's resources and the national workforce and education in this LMIC capacity report. METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, Ghana, during 4 weeks in August 2016. Teaching hospital data were generated from observations of hospital facilities and patient care, review of archival records, and interviews with KATH personnel. National data were obtained from interviews with KATH personnel, correspondence with Ghana's anesthesia society, and review of public records. RESULTS: The practice of anesthesia at KATH incorporated preanesthesia clinics, intraoperative management, and critical care. However, there were not enough physicians to consistently supervise care, especially in postanesthesia care units (PACUs) and the critical care unit (CCU). Clean water and electricity were usually reliable in all 16 operating rooms (ORs) and throughout the hospital. Equipment and drugs were inventoried in detail. While much basic infrastructure, equipment, and medications were present in ORs, patient safety was hindered by hospital-wide oxygen supply failures and shortage of vital signs monitors and working ventilators in PACUs and the CCU. In 2015, there were 10,319 anesthetics administered, with obstetric and gynecologic, general, and orthopedic procedures comprising 62% of surgeries. From 2011 to 2015, all-cause perioperative mortality rate in ORs and PACUs was 0.65% or 1 death per 154 anesthetics, with 99% of deaths occurring in PACUs. Workforce and education data at KATH revealed 10 anesthesia attending physicians, 61 nurse anesthetists (NAs), and 7 anesthesia resident physicians in training. At the national level, 70 anesthesia attending physicians and 565 NAs cared for Ghana's population of 27 million. Providers were heavily concentrated in urban areas, and NAs frequently practiced independently. Two teaching hospitals provided accredited postgraduate training modeled after European curricula to 22 anesthesia resident physicians. CONCLUSIONS: While important limitations to capacity exist in Ghana, the overall situation is good compared to other LMICs. Many of the challenges encountered resulted from insufficient PACU and CCU provisions and few providers. Inadequate outcomes reporting made analysis and resolution of problem areas difficult.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the demographic and clinical characteristics, treatment and mortality of AMI patients treated inside and outside a CCU. METHODS: We compiled a registry of all patients admitted to three general hospitals in Haifa, Israel during January, March, May, July, September and November 1996. RESULTS: The non-CCU admission rate was 22%. CCU patients were younger (61.6 vs. 65.5 years), less likely to report a past AMI (18% vs. 34%), and arrived earlier at the emergency room. Non-CCU patients were more likely to present with severe heart failure (30 vs. 11%). Non-CCU patients received less aspirin (81 vs. 95%) and betablockers (62 vs. 80%). Upon discharge, these patients were less frequently prescribed beta-blockers and cardiac rehabilitation programs. CCU-treated patients had lower unadjusted mortality rates at both 30 days (odds ratio = 0.35) and in the long term (hazards ratio = 0.57). These ratios were attenuated after controlling for gender, age, type of AMI, and degree of heart failure (OR = 0.91 and HR = 0.78, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: A relatively high proportion of AMI patients were treated outside a CCU, with older and sicker patients being denied admission to a CCU. The process of evidence-based care by cardiologists was preferable to that of internists both during the hospital stay and at discharge. In Israel a significant proportion of all AMI admissions are initially treated outside a CCU. Emphasis on increasing awareness in internal medicine departments to evidence-based care of AMI is indicated.","url":"https://openalex.org/W2411783143","authors":["Guy Amit","Sylvie Goldman","Liora Ore","M Y Low","Jeremy D.

Cannabis is one of the most used drugs worldwide, and its long-term effects on the central nervous system are not fully understood. No valid clinical evaluations of cannabis impact on the brain are available today. The cerebellum is expected to be one of the brain structures that are highly affected by prolonged exposure to cannabis, due to its high density in endocannabinoid receptors. We aim to use a motor adaptation paradigm to indirectly assess cerebellar function in chronic cannabis users (CCUs). Methods—We used a visuomotor rotation (VMR) task that probes a putatively-cerebellar implicit motor adaptation process together with the learning and execution of an explicit aiming rule. We conducted a case-control study, recruiting 18 CCUs and 18 age-matched healthy controls. Our main measure was the angular aiming error. Results—Our results show that CCUs have impaired implicit motor adaptation, as they showed a smaller rate of adaptation compared with healthy controls (drift rate: 19.3 +/− 6.8° vs. 27.4 +/− 11.6°; t(26) = −2.1, p = 0.048, Cohen’s d = −0.8, 95% CI = (−1.7, −0.15)).

METHOD: All patients returning to the Emergency Department, Christchurch Hospital, within seven calendar days of initial visit were identified. These cases were reviewed to identify reasons for return visit. RESULTS: Unscheduled return visits accounted for 2% of patient encounters. Sixty one per cent were due to illness related factors, 27% to patient related factors, 11% to physician related factors and 1% to system related factors. Significant management errors occurred in nine patients (4.4% of unscheduled return visits), three of whom were admitted. There were no ICU or CCU admissions and no deaths. CONCLUSIONS: Significant physician errors were a minor reason for reattendance at the emergency department and no specific areas of deficiency were identified. These might be further reduced by increasing the seniority and experience of staff and by the introduction of regular audit, continuing medical education and vocational training programmes.

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the association between direct admission to CCUs and the risk of inhospital death in patients with heart disease, to investigate factors affecting direct admission to a CCU, and to assess the effect of CCU admission on the use of invasive procedures in patients with arrhythmias. RESEARCH DESIGN: We conducted a retrospective analysis of discharge-abstract data from Lazio, Italy, hospitals. We used logistic regression, propensity score, and instrumental variable analysis to compare inhospital risk of death between patients admitted to CCUs and to ordinary wards in 13 different groups of heart disease. We used linear regression to study the association between the rate of CCU admission and the relative risk of death. RESULTS: The study included 181,049 heart disease admissions, of which 8620 were admitted to CCUs (4.8%). Risk of death was significantly lower in patients admitted directly to CCUs for \"acute myocardial infarction\" (odds ratio [OR], 0.57), \"acute ischemic heart disease\" (OR, 0.55), and \"other arrhythmias\" (OR, 0.56). Mortality ORs were inversely related to the rate of CCU admission. CCU patients with arrhythmias received more invasive procedures (OR, 2.70) than non-CCU patients. CONCLUSION: Direct admission to a CCU is associated with a decrease in mortality for patients with \"acute myocardial infarction,\" \"acute heart ischemia,\" and \"other arrhythmias.\" Patients most likely to benefit from CCU care are preferentially admitted to CCUs. CCUs make larger use of invasive procedures than ordinary wards.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/01.mlr.0000109456.26657.3a","authors":["Carlo Saitto","Carla Ancona","Danilo Fusco","Massimo Arcà","Carlo A.

Parasympatholytic treatment of bradyarrhythmias is part of the policy in coronary care units (CCU). Because of psychotic central nervous reactions following repeated i.v. doses of atropine, this drug was replaced by methyl scopolamine, and no such reactions have occurred since then. During a period of continuous ECG‐recording in a CCU, 27 patients with bradyarrhythmias were given at least one dose of 0.12‐0.5 mg methyl scopolamine. Its maximal effect as measured by the peak QRS‐rate occurred after about 10 min. Within this time atrial fibrillation appeared for the first time in 2 patients, and ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation in another subject. During the following 2 hours no further major arrhythmias were observed. All of these arrhythmias occurred in the 16 patients with AMI and none in the 11 subjects with other diagnoses. The possibility of a causal relationship between treatment with methyl scopolamine and appearance of tachyarrhythmias is discussed. The arrhythmic complications described in this study have made us reduce the initial i.v. dose of methyl scopolamine from 0.5 to 0.06‐0.12 mg, which often is satisfactory.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.0954-6820.1971.tb07465.x","authors":["L Mogensen","E.

The introduced greenhouse gas abatement, sustainability, and economics framework (GASEF) assesses commercial viability by simultaneously analyzing a CCU technology's CO 2 fixation potential with its economic potential. The developed framework combines a previously published CO2Fix parameter and the metric for inspecting reactants and sales (MISR) to estimate CO 2 fixation and economic potentials. Both metrics can be estimated using limited information such as temperature, pressure, conversion, molecular weights, the heat of reaction, and the prices of the reactants and products of the CCU reaction. Results from this novel framework are demonstrated via case studies of notable CCU technologies, such as Dry Reforming of Methane and CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol processes. Furthermore, the possible implications of providing CO 2 subsidies for CCU processes for the gross CO 2 input into these processes versus providing CO 2 subsidies for the net CO 2 fixation of the process is evaluated. In particular, the GASEF assessment on the DRM process showcased a potential for commercial viability even when the technology implementation requires additional investment of 0.1 $/kgCO 2 (pertaining to low-concentration CO 2 streams) due to carbon capture and sequestration efforts to achieve net-zero emissions. In the case of CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol process, the GASEF assessment showcased the potential for commercial viability only at low CO 2 credit (0.05 $/kgCO 2 ); however, at values higher than this, the process becomes tenuous. These case studies provide a comprehensive demonstration of the use of the GASEF as a versatile tool to support rapid economics and sustainability evaluation of the new CCU technologies. • Introduced GASEF for economic and sustainability assessment of CCU processes. • GASEF combines CO2Fix and MISR tools to assess CCU technologies. • Compared CO 2 feedstock-based and CO 2 fixation-based subsidy models. • Categorized all CCU processes based on economic and CO 2 fixation potential. • GASEF model demonstrated for DRM, methanol, CARGEN, & RWGS processes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jgsce.2024.205462","authors":["Gasim Ibrahim","Mohamed S.

METHODS: Adults assigned male at birth who reported anal sex with male partners who enrolled between March 2013-2019 and had information about at least one male sexual partner were included in these analyses. At enrollment and follow-up visits every 3 months for up to 18 months, participants were administered detailed questionnaires that collected information about demographics, sexual practices, HIV risk behaviors, and characteristics and behaviors of their partners in the previous year (at enrollment) or the preceding 3 to 6-months (at follow-up visits). Logistic regression models with generalized estimating equations were used to assess the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of individual, partner, and partnership characteristics associated with consistent condom use (CCU). A participant was defined as consistently using condom if they reported always using condoms all the time they had insertive, receptive or both types of anal sex with a male partner. RESULTS: At the individual level, CCU was positively associated with higher education, disclosure of key population status to a healthcare worker and negatively associated with poor access to condoms. At the partner and partnership level, CCU was associated with partners with higher education (aOR: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.07-1.72), casual relationships (aOR: 1.22; 95% CI: 1.11-1.34) and relationships in which partners encouraged the participant to use condoms with other partners (aOR: 1.14; 95% CI: 1.02-1.28). Relationships in which the partner was married to a woman and/or the partner's HIV status positive or unknown were negatively associated with CCU. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that individuals in relationships where partners were more open and encouraged safer sex were more likely to consistently use condoms. HIV prevention programs should consider leveraging communication to sexual partners to encourage condom use as this may support condom use with other sexual partners. Given sustained and growing HIV and STI epidemics among MSM and TGW, even with pre-exposure prophylaxis scale-up, it is crucial to continue to study optimal implementation strategies to increase condom use.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-021-11275-w","authors":["Oluwasolape Olawore","Trevor A.

DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Observational cohort study of RRTs in a district general hospital and a university hospital in the United Kingdom. PARTICIPANTS: Patients seen by two RRTs after local track-and-trigger systems were triggered. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: An agreed set of patient-centred outcomes tested at Days 1, 3 and 7 after RRT call-out. Positive outcomes were defined as transfer to a critical care unit (CCU) within 4 hours of the trigger event, improved track-and-trigger scores, death without attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation, decision about treatment limitation, new pathology, chronic pathology or hospital discharge. Negative outcomes were delayed transfer to a CCU, lack of improvement in track-and-trigger scores, death after cardiopulmonary arrest, or loss to follow-up. RESULTS: In the initial pilot study, 75% of patients achieved positive outcomes on Day 1 after RRT call-out, and there were no significant changes to outcomes on Days 3 and 7. A higher rate of negative outcomes was seen in patients who triggered an RRT call-out at night. There was significant variation in outcomes between clinical specialties. In neither of the centres were events reported that could not be classified using our matrix of outcomes. CONCLUSION: It is possible to classify RRT episodes using readily available data, and areas with suboptimal performance can be targeted.

This sealant is formulated by cross-linking CO 2 -responsive polymers, specifically acrylamide (AM) and N-[3-(dimethylamino) propyl] methacrylamide (DMAPMA), with polyethylenimine (PEI) serving as the cross-linking agent. The polymer sealant’s characteristics were systematically investigated, varying the CO 2 -responsive polymer content (1.5 wt %) and PEI content (0.1–0.6 wt %). A comprehensive analysis encompassing the rheological properties, thermal behavior, conductivity, and microstructures was conducted. Experimental results indicate that the polymer sealant exhibits excellent injectability, rapid response kinetics, thermal stability, and robust mechanical strength. Upon encountering CO 2, the polymer system undergoes a transition from sol to gel state, forming a surface-smooth, uniformly porous three-dimensional (3D) network skeleton structure. Remarkably, the gel’s modulus remains relatively unaffected by the shear frequency. Core fluid displacement experiments demonstrated a substantial sealing efficiency of 73.6% for CO 2 and an impressive subsequent injection water sealing rate of 96.2%, underscoring its superior sealing and migration performance. In conclusion, the proposed CO 2 -responsive gel sealant exhibits an exceptional potential for successful utilization in CCUS operations.

In hematologically normal individuals, somatic mutations may occur at an increasing frequency with age in genes that are also commonly mutated in overt myeloid malignancies such as AML and MDS (e.g., DN-MT3A, TET2, and ASXL1). This is referred to as clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and is a benign state; however, it carries a risk of progression to hematologic malignancy as well as mortality primarily because of increased cardiovascular events. In clinical settings, clonal hematopoiesis may be observed in cytopenic patients who do not otherwise meet the criteria for hematologic malignancy, a condition referred to as clonal cytopenias of undetermined significance (CCUS). Distinguishing CCUS from overt MDS or other myeloid neoplasms can be challenging because of the overlapping mutational landscape observed in these conditions. Genetic features that could be diagnostically helpful in making this distinction include the number and biological function of mutated genes as well as the observed variant allele frequency. A working knowledge of clonal hematopoiesis is essential for the diagnosis and clinical management of patients with hematologic conditions.

METHODS: All patients with ACS admitted into Dunedin and Invercargill coronary care units (CCUs) between 2000-2002 inclusive were included in the study. RESULTS: Major baseline characteristics including age, history of diabetes, heart rate and systolic blood pressure at presentation were not different between the two centres.

Using multivariable logistic regression incorporating baseline characteristics, use of evidence-based medicine on arrival and transfer for angiography, the 1-year adjusted hazard ratio 3.02 (95%CI 1.60-5.71) remains significantly higher for patients in Invercargill Hospital. CONCLUSION: There was a disparity in ACS outcome between community and tertiary hospitals in New Zealand. The use of evidence-based medicine in all ACS patients should be encouraged even if revascularisation was not offered.","url":"https://openalex.org/W86724755","authors":["Eng Wei Tang","Cheuk‐Kit Wong","Peter Herbison"],"tags":["Medicine","Acute coronary syndrome","Myocardial infarction","Internal medicine","Hazard ratio"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2006-07-21","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.695Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:24.695Z"},{"id":"oa:W2773255810","name":"The Ohio Standard Baseline, 1970.9","source":"openalex","abstract":"This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of th e original docum ent.While th e m ost advanced technological means to photograph a n d reproduce this docum ent have been used, th e quality is heavily dependent u p o n the quality of th e original subm itted.T he following explanation o f techniques is provided to h elp you understand markings or p attern s which may appear on this reproduction.1.

Despite holding Africa’s largest proved oil reserves and significant natural gas resources, Libya flared approximately 6.3 billion cubic meters of associated gas in 2024, resulting in an estimated economic loss of $650 million. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of associated gas utilization in Libya, exploring the technical, economic, and regulatory barriers that perpetuate routine flaring. Through an examination of recent policy developments, including Libya's 2026 endorsement of the World Bank's \"Zero Routine Flaring by 2030\" initiative and the National Oil Corporation's pledge to reduce flaring by 83%, this paper identifies strategic pathways for gas monetization. Technologies such as gas-to-power, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and reinjection for enhanced oil recovery are evaluated within the Libyan context. The findings demonstrate that capturing and utilizing associated gas can significantly enhance domestic energy security, boost export revenues, and align the nation with global climate mitigation goals.

Secondary data was collected from IRENA and the seven leading IOCs. Findings were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed, and show that IOCs have increased their harder-to-abate sector energy transition engagements, compared to previous years. Biofuels and hydrogen are the renewable fuels adopted for this difficult-to-electrify sector, which is not easily directly amenable to other sources of renewable energy. The ‘horizontal strategies’ of direct/own investments/projects, partnerships, strategic alliances, JV, stake and fuels purchases and outright acquisitions were employed by IOCs to grow their biofuel and hydrogen portfolios, while ‘vertical strategies,’ entail short and long term strategies. Biofuels represent short term strategy because they are readily deployable fuels requiring little or no engine modifications, while hydrogen represents long term strategy, as engine re-calibration, new distribution and dispensing infrastructures are required. Through the implementation of the horizontal strategy, the vertical strategies are accomplished, leading towards 2050 net-zero target. The IOCs are producing not only grey hydrogen, but also blue (CCS/CCUS-applied) and green hydrogen. Global green hydrogen production entails the electrolysis of water, using enormous amounts of renewable electricity. They now produce, not just bioethanol and biodiesel, but through technological innovation, have developed SAF, Bio-LNG, RCNG, RNG, LCF and HVO biofuels.

In general, this technique suffers from a difficulty related to excessive gas mobility, which can be circumvented by using foam. This study addresses the non-linear system of differential equations describing the three-phase foam flow based on Corey relative permeability functions. A major obstacle is an umbilic point, where the characteristic wave velocities for different families coincide, complicating the identification of stable wave structures. We developed a methodology to solve the Riemann problem describing the three-phase foam displacement in the case when the gas viscosity exceeds that of oil and water. To allow the analysis, we assume foam in local equilibrium (or maximum foam texture), resulting in a constant mobility reduction factor (MRF). These simplifications allowed the classification of possible solutions for the injection of foamed gas and water mixtures under a wide range of initial conditions within the framework of non-classical Conservation Law Theory. As a relevant industrial application of the proposed solution, we investigate the conditions resulting in oil bank formation. Besides improving the general physical understanding of foam flow in a porous medium, this analysis can be applied to calibrate numerical simulators and perform uncertainty quantification. Our analytical estimates were validated through numerical simulations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10596-026-10424-7","authors":["Luis Lozano","Grigori Chapiro","D.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women in the UK and is often treated with chemotherapy. Psychosocial side effects (anxiety, depression and fatigue) and cognitive side effects (memory and concentration difficulties) are frequently reported by breast cancer patients. Following recent advances in screening and treatment technology for the disease, survivorship rates have increased. Therefore, women are able to continue or resume their daily tasks during and following treatment. The impact of chemotherapy-related psychological side effects on quality of life and work ability are documented, however the impact on safety outcomes has currently been overlooked in this patient population. Evidence from other research fields suggests that anxiety, depression, fatigue and cognitive difficulties are associated with increased risk of accidents and injuries. OBJECTIVES. This research provides longitudinal self-report data on psychosocial well-being, cognitive function, quality of life, work ability and accident frequency outcomes. METHOD. A mixed-methods, prospective, longitudinal approach was employed. Breast cancer patients about to undergo chemotherapy treatment (n = 60) completed questionnaires at pre-treatment baseline, and again four months (follow-up time 1), eight months (follow-up time 2), and twelve months (follow-up time 3) later. A treatment control group of breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy (n = 56), and an age-matched healthy control group (n = 58) were assessed at comparable intervals. In addition, a subsample of participants from the chemotherapy group (n = 11), radiotherapy group (n = 6), and healthy control group (n = 15) kept personal solicited diaries for a four-month period to capture the lived experience of managing daily tasks. The diary data were examined using thematic analysis. The combination of the quantitative and qualitative approaches added breadth and depth to the study with the aim of obtaining a realistic and comprehensive understanding of the impact of chemotherapy for breast cancer on patients daily lives. RESULTS. Chemotherapy patients reported a subtle decline in psychosocial well-being, cognitive function and quality of life, and encountered more accidents, particularly at mid-chemotherapy. CONCLUSION. It is important that healthcare professionals, breast cancer patients, relatives and employers are aware of the temporal fluctuations associated with chemotherapy-related side effects, particularly potential safety outcomes. Interventions could be developed to help patients manage their daily tasks in the home and in the workplace safely.","url":"https://openalex.org/W388538510","authors":["Catherine L.

[22][23][24] Our research aims to lower this operating temperature to below 423 K. Enabling operation at such low temperatures is critical for realizing on-site, on-demand methane production, which allows for decentralized energy solutions.Many non-conventional approaches have been applied to promote CO2 conversion reaction, including methanation at milder conditions.[22][23][24][25][26][27] Utilization of external stimuli (electric, light etc.), in which high catalytic activity beyond equilibrium limitations can be achieved.However, these processes suffer from drawbacks such as failing to achieve sufficient TOF for practical application and difficulties in scaling up for industrialization.25, 26 Recently, the promotion of catalytic reactions at lower temperatures has been achieved with application of an electric field, by which a weak current is imposed on a catalyst with semi-","url":"https://doi.org/10.20556/0002008359","authors":["Ryota Yamano"],"tags":["Environmental science","Greenhouse gas","Global warming","Renewable energy","Carbon dioxide"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.20556/0002008359","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7166325651","name":"Energy Optimization of Methanol Production using CO₂ from Natural Gas Sweetening via Reactor Heat Recovery, Compressor Integration, and Cooling Water Reuse","source":"openalex","abstract":"Methanol production via CO₂ hydrogenation is an efficient alternative for supporting energy sustainability and reducing carbon emissions; however, conventional processes still face limitations in energy efficiency and resource utilization. This study aims to optimize the methanol production process through the integration of heat recovery, compressor energy utilization, and water recycling. Simulations were conducted using Aspen HYSYS by comparing baseline process conditions with modified process conditions under the same operating conditions. The results show that integrating heat from the reactor effluent and the cooling unit reduces external energy requirements, while the water recycling system successfully reduces fresh water usage by up to 100%. Additionally, heating energy requirements decreased by 27.21%, and compressor energy needs were fully met through internal energy recovery. From an economic perspective, significant operational cost savings were achieved, particularly in steam consumption, without compromising product quality, as methanol purity remained at 97.91%.

The modelling also shows ζ which is negative, decreasing in magnitude with temperature, and as pH becomes smaller. It also shows that C sp is also negative but has a complex temperature and pH dependence. These behaviours are controlled mainly by the temperature dependence of pH, but also depend on the temperature dependence of the density, viscosity, relative permittivity and electrical conductivity of the pore solution. The model has been compared to experimental data for sandstones up to 150°C, and describes the data reasonably well when using physically reasonable values for the electro-chemical parameters describing the electrical double layer.

The rising prevalence of CVDs is driven by aging populations and various risk factors, including poor diet, physical inactivity, and dyslipidemia. Recent studies suggest that natural supplements like sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) and cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum J. Presl) may have beneficial effects on lipid profiles and overall cardiovascular health. This study is designed to investigate the combined effects of sumac and cinnamon supplementation on lipid profiles and quality of life in a high-risk population of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), type 2 diabetes, and overweight/obesity. METHODS: This randomized, double-blind controlled trial will involve 76 participants meeting the specified criteria. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: sumac (S), cinnamon (C), a combination of sumac and cinnamon (S + C), or a placebo, for eight weeks. The primary outcome is the change in serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from baseline to week 8. Secondary outcomes include other lipid parameters (HDL-C, TG, TC, VLDL), pain levels, quality of life (QoL), and inflammatory markers such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). A Complete Blood Count (CBC) will be performed as well. Blinding success will be assessed using the Bang Blinding Index (BBI). Blood samples will be collected at baseline and at the end of the intervention period to measure the relevant biomarkers. Lipid profiles will be measured using standard photometric/enzymatic methods, while IL-6 and hs-CRP will be assayed using ELISA. Data analysis will involve comparisons between the four groups using ANCOVA, adjusting for baseline values and statin intensity. DISCUSSION: This study will provide valuable insights into the potential of sumac and cinnamon, both individually and in combination, as complementary therapies for managing lipid profiles and improving the quality of life in patients with CVDs. The findings could contribute to the development of novel dietary interventions aimed at reducing cardiovascular risk and promoting heart health. Additionally, the study will explore the combined effect of sumac and cinnamon, offering insights into whether their joint use provides synergistic benefits beyond those observed with each supplement individually.

While international and Pakistani evidence broadly links effective nurse-patient communication to higher satisfaction, site-specific data from secondary-care public-sector hospitals in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa remain limited. The study aimed to evaluate nurse-patient communication and patient satisfaction among admitted patients at District Headquarter (DHQ) Hospital Kohat. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 150 adult inpatients recruited by convenience sampling from the Medical, Surgical, Gynecological/Obstetric, Orthopedic, Pediatric, and ICU/CCU departments of DHQ Hospital Kohat. Data were collected using a structured, interviewer-assisted questionnaire comprising demographic items, a 10-item nurse-patient communication scale, and a 10-item patient satisfaction scale, both scored on a 5-point Likert format (composite range 10–50). Data were analyzed in SPSS using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, independent-samples t-tests, and one-way ANOVA, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. The mean composite communication score was 37.8 (SD 6.2) out of 50, with 55% of patients rating communication as good. The mean composite satisfaction score was 38.9 (SD 6.5) out of 50, with 60% of patients classified as satisfied. Communication was rated weakest for keeping patients informed about their condition and care plan (58% positive) and strongest for maintaining privacy during communication (82% positive); satisfaction followed a parallel pattern, lowest for information given about the medical condition (55% positive) and highest for overall courtesy and respect (80% positive). Communication and satisfaction scores were strongly and positively correlated (r = 0.65, p < 0.001). Patient education level was significantly associated with satisfaction (p = 0.021), and length of hospital stay was significantly associated with communication scores (p = 0.045); age, gender, and ward were not significantly associated with either variable (p > 0.05). In summary, nurse-patient communication and patient satisfaction at DHQ Hospital Kohat were both moderately positive but shared a specific, recurring gap around informing patients about their condition and care plan. Given a strong correlation between communication and satisfaction, targeted communication-skills training focused on patient information-sharing is recommended to improve overall satisfaction with nursing care.","url":"https://doi.org/10.61424/ijmhr.v4i3.975","authors":["Muhammad Qubais","Kamran","Aziz Ullah","Mushtaq Ahmad","Mazhar Ayub Khan","Fawad Ahmad","Masab Tanveer","Muhammad Kheyam","Muhammad Ilyas"],"tags":["Public hospital","Likert scale","Descriptive statistics","Medicine","Patient satisfaction"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.61424/ijmhr.v4i3.975","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411675465","name":"Innovation in Geotechnical Engineering Equipment, Intelligent Digitalization, and Green Zero-Carbon Technologies: Current Developments and Future Directions at TYUT","source":"openalex","abstract":"This thesis presents an extensive review of recent developments in geotechnical engineering, a field essential for ensuring the stability and safety of infrastructure.

With 5–7% of worldwide CO2 emissions originating in the cement industry, fugitive particulate matter constitutes more than 90% of a plant’s emissions. The results show that the cement sector has considerable potential for decarbonization, though highly context-dependent. Under optimal conditions, clinker substitution coupled with alternative fuels could reduce direct emissions by up to 50% and total energy usage by 44%, constrained by regional material availability. Fully integrated carbon capture systems (TRL 7–9) could reduce exhaust emissions by up to 90%, contingent upon overcoming significant energy penalties. Engineering controls in dry-process mills reduced daily occupational noise exposure from 102.9 to 88.3 dB(A). Regarding soil pollution, cement kiln dust increased the unconfined compressive strength of native soils up to 9.9 times for geotechnical stabilization. In water management, hybrid biological systems removed 94.5% of particulate matter and reduced oxygen demand by over 87%, while advanced biomonitoring decreased effluent toxicity by over 90%. The significance of this study lies in overcoming traditional siloed assessments by introducing a holistic multimedia framework that maps biogeochemical interconnectivity alongside Industry 4.0 paradigms. Ultimately, this review provides a vital sociotechnical road map for stakeholders to align localized ecological risk mitigation with stringent 2026 global market mechanisms, such as the carbon border adjustment mechanism and mandatory environmental, social and governance disclosures, ensuring both industrial competitiveness and environmental stewardship.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18147383","authors":["Jordana Georgin","Dison S.P.

Certain challenges are posed in adult-like somatic growth and active lifestyle susceptibility to infection and generally anticipated long survival. Objective The current study aims to present our institute's experience in pediatric and adolescent pacemaker implantation and long term outcome. Patients and Methods The study included 100 patients who have cardiac devices (permanent pacemaker)that were implanted in AinShams University and visit our patient clinic for regular programming during the period from July 2018 to December 2019.

This limitation mainly arises from capillary-controlled multiphase flow, where pore-scale processes govern plume distribution and trapping. However, capillarity is commonly treated as an intrinsic rock–fluid property rather than a controllable parameter. This perspective introduces a capillary management framework that enables process-dependent control of interfacial tension and wettability to optimize both drainage and imbibition. By engineering capillary conditions, the framework enhances pore accessibility during injection and promotes residual trapping during fluid redistribution. Recent laboratory studies, together with analytical evaluation, indicate that modifying relative permeability through capillary control could potentially improve storage efficiency from ∼5% to ∼7%-8% under representative conditions. Analytical evaluation further indicates that these improvements result from reduced mobility ratio and enhanced saturation states. Capillary management therefore provides a new pathway for actively controlling subsurface multiphase flow and improving the performance of geological CO₂ storage.

The observation was performed by using a measuring station, which included five measuring points. The results of measurements were generalized and the excavation contour deformation features at various stages of mining coal seam were revealed. Results. Dependencies, that characterize the process of coal mass deformation around the mine at various stages of its exploitation. are obtained.

We demonstrate that while a single global porosity-permeability relationship provides a limited understanding (R2 = 0.6493), it fails to capture the intricate, multi-scale heterogeneity that governs fluid flow. Our methodology successfully delineates the reservoir into five distinct hydraulic flow units (FZI 0-4), each exhibiting a unique and highly predictive exponential relationship between porosity and permeability. The remarkably high coefficients of determination within these units (e.g., R2 = 0.9479 for FZI 0) provide compelling evidence that FZI effectively segregates the reservoir into truly homogeneous domains. This approach enables the development of unit-specific predictive models that are significantly more accurate than a single bulk-rock correlation. Furthermore, the validation of core porosity against log porosity allows for the generation of high-resolution, continuous permeability profiles across uncored intervals, which is crucial for comprehensive reservoir characterization. This work affirms that the FZI method is an indispensable tool for advanced reservoir petrophysics, moving beyond simplistic correlations to unlock a granular understanding of reservoir quality. The resulting precise permeability models are fundamental for optimizing well placement, improving fluid flow simulations, and designing more effective enhanced oil recovery (EOR) strategies. This methodology has broader implications for sustainable development, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure by enhancing resource efficiency and supporting cleaner energy applications like carbon capture and storage (CCUS) and geothermal energy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21608/ijaes.2025.404795.1041","authors":["Mohamed Abdelwahab Ataallah"],"tags":["Petroleum engineering","Permeability (electromagnetism)","Porosity","Reservoir simulation","Geology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.21608/ijaes.2025.404795.1041","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7160619799","name":"Peran Kebijakan Pajak Terhadap Carbon Emission Dan Corporate Environmental Behavior: Tinjauan Literatur Sistematis","source":"openalex","abstract":"THE ROLE OF TAX POLICY ON CARBON EMISSIONS AND CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOR: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW This study examines the role of tax policy on carbon emissions and corporate environmental behavior using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach.

The findings indicate that environmental tax policies, such as carbon tax and green tax, generally reduce carbon emissions by increasing the cost of carbon-intensive activities, thereby encouraging energy efficiency, reduced fossil fuel consumption, and the adoption of low-carbon technologies. Furthermore, tax policy plays an important role in shaping corporate environmental behavior by promoting green investment, improving operational efficiency, and encouraging sustainable business practices. However, several studies report mixed results, indicating that the effectiveness of tax policy depends on policy design, tax rates, institutional quality, and supporting regulations. Therefore, tax policy should be carefully designed and integrated with other instruments to achieve optimal environmental outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.33751/jmp.v14i1.89","authors":["Cahyani Putri Ayu","Jeanne Adelina Savitri","Luk Luk Fuadah"],"tags":["Carbon tax","Environmental tax","Environmental policy","Tax policy","Public economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.33751/jmp.v14i1.89","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7164125605","name":"CO2 desorption and conversion over hydrotalcite in a plasma-sorbent system","source":"openalex","abstract":"Developing efficient CO 2 capture and conversion technologies is crucial for carbon circularity and climate mitigation.

Nurses play a critical role in the early recognition and management of ACS; however, knowledge gaps may compromise patient outcomes and timely interventions. Objectives: To assess practicing nurses' knowledge in recognizing and managing patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) at tertiary care centers in Karachi. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 240 registered nurses recruited from CCU, ICU, HDU, and Emergency Departments of three tertiary care hospitals using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured 20-item questionnaire. Normality was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (age: KS=0.087, p=0.068; knowledge scores: KS=0.092, p=0.052), and associations were examined using chi-square tests, with significance set at p<0.050. Results: Among 240 participants, 132 (55%) demonstrated excellent knowledge, 60 (25%) good knowledge, 24 (10%) average knowledge, and 24 (10%) poor knowledge. Significant associations were found between knowledge level and age (p=0.003), gender (p=0.045), and qualification (p=0.043), while experience showed no significant association (p=0.660). However, the borderline significance of gender (p=0.045) and qualification (p=0.043) associations should be interpreted cautiously, as p-values close to the 0.050 threshold indicate that relatively small changes in sample composition or data distribution could potentially affect statistical significance. Conclusions: While 80% of nurses demonstrated satisfactory ACS knowledge, notable deficiencies in ECG interpretation and pharmacological management require targeted educational interventions. Regular continuing education, simulation-based training, and competency assessment programs are recommended to enhance nursing competencies in ACS care at tertiary care settings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54393/nrs.v6i2.238","authors":["Farrukh Ahmed Siddiqui","Muhammad Yaqoob","Sunita Rehman","Sana Shakeel","Danish Ahmed Khan"],"tags":["Medicine","Acute coronary syndrome","Tertiary care","Acute care","Statistical significance"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.54393/nrs.v6i2.238","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400961812","name":"«Наука и образование - важнейший фактор развития общества в современных условиях» МАТЕРИАЛЫ XI МЕЖДУНАРОДНОЙ НАУЧНО-ПРАКТИЧЕСКОЙ КОНФЕРЕНЦИИ","source":"openalex","abstract":"ҚАЗАҚСТАН РЕСПУБЛИКАСЫ ҒЫЛЫМ ЖӘНЕ ЖОҒАРҒЫ БІЛІМ МИНИСТРЛІГІ МИНИСТЕРСТВО НАУКИ И ВЫСШЕГО ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ РЕСПУБЛИКИ КАЗАХСТАН ОРТАЛЫҚ ҚАЗАҚСТАН АКАДЕМИЯСЫ ЦЕНТРАЛЬНО-КАЗАХСТАНСКАЯ АКАДЕМИЯ «Ғылым және білім -қазіргі жағдайдағы қоғам дамуының маңызды факторы» XI ХАЛЫҚАРАЛЫҚ ҒЫЛЫМИ-ПРАКТИКАЛЫҚ КОНФЕРЕНЦИЯСЫ «Наука и образованиеважнейший фактор развития общества в современных условиях» МАТЕРИАЛЫ XI МЕЖДУНАРОДНОЙ НАУЧНО-ПРАКТИЧЕСКОЙ КОНФЕРЕНЦИИ «Science and education -an important factor of society development in modern conditions","url":"https://doi.org/10.35107/cka.2024.47.24.001","authors":[],"tags":["Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-12","doi":"https://doi.org/10.35107/cka.2024.47.24.001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7112488410","name":"Decarbonise Now: Securing A Greener, Cleaner, Better Industrial Future","source":"openalex","abstract":"If we do not succeed in decarbonising our industries, net zero will not succeed. Industry, which includes ores and minerals mining, manufacturing, construction and waste management, accounted for approximately 24% of total net anthropogenic GHG emissions in 2019, this total can be increased up to around 34% if emissions from electricity and heat production are attributed to their use in the sector. A key message from the IPCC’s 2022 report on the mitigation of climate change stated: “Net zero CO2 emissions from the industrial sector are challenging but possible. Reducing industry emissions will entail coordinated action throughout value chains to promote all mitigation options, including demand management, energy and materials efficiency, circular material flows, as well as abatement technologies and transformational changes in production processes. Progressing towards net zero GHG emissions from industry will be enabled by the adoption of new production processes using low- and zero-GHG electricity, hydrogen, fuels, and carbon management.” Further, industrial clusters account for 15%- 20% of global CO2 emissions. Therefore, it is evident that governments need to develop robust industrial decarbonisation strategies and accelerate the speed of implementation. This report follows the Independent Net Zero Review, focusing on the Energy Intensives and Industry Mission. The Independent Net Zero Review was one of the largest engagement exercises on net zero ever conducted. As part of the review process, its chair Chris Skidmore held 52 evidence roundtables, speaking directly to nearly a thousand businesses and organizations. These demonstrated the importance of a stable policy environment for business, especially industry that requires long term certainty of decision making. The 2022 Non-domestic National Energy Efficiency Data-Framework (ND-NEED) found that in England and Wales the highest 6% of electricity consumers are responsible for 80% of electricity consumption, while the highest 4% of gas consumers are responsible for 80% of gas consumption. As such, industrial decarbonisation is a crucial area for the UK government to focus on if they are to reach their Net Zero by 2050 target. However, current measures need to go further and new, innovative, methods to accelerate decarbonisation must emerge. The Coalition convened experts from different areas of industry, including CCUS, hydrogen, renewable energy and software providers to discuss the current pathway to decarbonisation set out by the government, its gaps and potential solutions moving forward. The report will also look wider to the international landscape for examples of best practice, forward-thinking policies and to provide recommendations for a globally decarbonised industrial sector.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7112488410","authors":["Skidmore, Christopher","Girling, Grace"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Production (economics)","Business","Natural resource economics","Climate change"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7154749662","name":"Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 Outer Membrane Vesicles as a Platform for Complement Activation","source":"openalex","abstract":"Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the major component of the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) of Gram-negative bacteria. We hypothesized that OMVs-induced complement activation contributes to the development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 (YeO3) variants synthesizing LPS of various chemotypes (S, Ra, Rd1, Re) were used as model microorganisms. OMVs activated complement more potently than parental bacteria or homologous LPS, independently of chemotype. A high molecular weight polysaccharide fraction, distinct from LPS, was recognized by serum mannose-binding lectin (MBL). In vivo experiments demonstrated that complement depletion weakened the hallmarks of OMVs-induced SIRS in mice. LPS chemotype affected the biodistribution of OMVs and long O-specific polysaccharide protected them from clearance. Chemotype influenced OMVs secretion with their highest release by bacteria with LPS reduced to the inner core and lipid A (Rd1). The shift from environmental to host's temperature stimulated secretion of smaller OMVs, with less-toxic, tetra-acyl lipid A. Our data are consistent with a contribution of OMVs to Yersinia pathogenicity through complement activation. Their potency as complex virulence factor is influenced by size, length of oligo-/polysaccharide chain, and lipid A form. This study comprehensively characterizes OMV-complement interactions in YeO3, extending the knowledge of mechanisms previously established for other Gram-negative bacteria.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/jev2.70270","authors":["Cédric Battaglino","Iryna Bodnaruk","Paula Czyszczoń","Mikael Skurnik","Beata Filip‐Psurska","Dariusz Jarych","Anna Maciejewska","Mariusz Gadzinowski","Kamil Malik","Izabela Potocka","Paweł Migdał","Roksana Kruszakin","Maciej Cedzyński","Katarzyna Kasperkiewicz","Jolanta Łukasiewicz","Anna S.

However, existing literature mostly describes isolated solutions and rarely offers a comparative systematization of methods considering their practical limitations and industrial results. The purpose of this review is to systematize CO₂ enhanced oil recovery methods and summarize the experience of the world largest projects to develop a comprehensive approach to selecting injection schemes under various geological and technological conditions. Based on an analysis of more than 100 studies, carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery methods in this work are classified by injection type and additives used. For each method, the main recovery mechanisms are summarized, including fluid mobility control, wettability modification, and asphaltene deposition inhibition. An analysis of major industrial projects in North America, China, and Europe, conducted in the paper, showed up to 25% increase in oil recovery with optimized water-alternating-gas schemes. Pore-scale visualization studies show that CO₂ flow involves unsteady effects like snap-off and cyclic bubble dilation. These phenomena explain channel formation and early gas breakthrough, justifying the need for mobility control methods. Synthesis of the results identified three prioritized technological limitations: First, the reliability of CO₂ infrastructure and supply; second, control of the displacement profile in heterogeneous reservoirs; and third, long-term well integrity and CO₂ balance management.

This occurred despite established prevention protocols, including daily line necessity rounds, use of MAGIC guidelines for vascular access, universal decolonization, and ongoing staff education, which had successfully lowered infection rates since 2022. All three affected patients were intubated, had an internal jugular (IJ) central venous catheter, and presented with Candida species in their blood and sputum, signaling a potential common etiology. Methods: In response, a multidisciplinary team was convened in April 2025 to conduct a proactive risk assessment using the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) methodology. The FMEA focused on ensuring adherence to the evidence-based policy for central line insertion and maintenance. The team comprised intensivists, interventional radiologists, chief residents, nursing leadership, infection prevention specialists, and a patient safety coordinator to represent all facets of the central line process. Results: The FMEA systematically evaluated potential failures in central line necessity, insertion, maintenance, removal, and environmental cleaning. By calculating Risk Profile Numbers (RPNs), the team identified several high-risk process steps. The highest initial RPN (486) was attributed to the potential for insufficient ultrasound probe cleaning due to improper technique and reliance on visual inspection alone. Other significant failure modes included inconsistent terminal cleaning of patient rooms (RPN 315), potential contamination of IJ lines from patient secretions (RPN 216), lack of role clarity during the insertion procedure (RPN 192), and the use of a single needle for multiple insertion attempts (RPN 189). The cumulative initial RPN for all identified failure modes was 2798. Conclusion: The FMEA proved to be an effective tool for identifying systemic vulnerabilities that contributed to the CLABSI cluster. The analysis led to the implementation of targeted corrective actions, including re-education on and audited monitoring of ultrasound probe cleaning, the introduction of single-use gel packets and individual introducer needles, clarification of the safety observer's role during insertion, and enhanced protocols for protecting IJ dressings. Following these interventions, the total RPN was successfully reduced to 1763. This proactive, systematic approach enabled the team to address specific gaps in practice and reinforce safety protocols to prevent future CLABSI events. No further CLABSIs have been identified since these interventions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1017/ash.2026.10694","authors":["Jayme Bland","Nancy Kerr","Karen Pasco","Jill Armstrong","Cara Kellner","Laura Giambona","SN Dwivedi"],"tags":["Medicine","Central line","Patient safety","Medical emergency","CLARITY"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1017/ash.2026.10694","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7165136411","name":"Pathways to a Green Transition in Kerala: Economic and Employment Impacts from a State-Level Integrated Assessment","source":"openalex","abstract":"Regional modeling is essential for assessing the impacts of environmental policies in countries with significant regional diversity. It is particularly important for a resource-constrained state like Kerala (India), which depends heavily on electricity imports from other states. The novelty of this study lies in the development of a state-level Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) that links a recursive multi-regional dynamic computable general equilibrium model with a bottom-up energy model, considering region-specific parameters. To the best of our knowledge, such a state-level regional modeling framework for India has not been developed in the existing literature, thereby addressing an important research gap in assessing region-specific pathways and policy impacts. This paper explores the economic and employment implications of the green transition for Kerala. The contributions to the literature are (a) regional modeling; (b) a framework and assessment of the impact of green transition considering the interlinkage between the state, the rest of India, and the rest of the world; and (c) estimation of required investment and effect on employment generation. The findings suggest that reducing fossil electricity imports without expanding renewable energy infrastructure may constrain economic growth (Policy Scenario 1). In contrast, investments in local renewable energy capacity through revenue recycling, along with improvements in energy efficiency and productivity (Policy Scenario 2), can enhance economic returns and generate more employment. There is an increase in real state domestic product, consumption, investment, returns to factors, and employment in Policy Scenario 2 as compared to the baseline and Policy Scenario 1. Both final energy requirement for fossil fuel and emissions are also lower in Policy Scenario 2. Energy efficiency can be enhanced through investments in efficient technologies, smart grids, low-emission transport systems, and modern energy infrastructure. Productivity improvements require skill development, innovation-oriented policies, and support for entrepreneurship. Green transition also presents an opportunity for Kerala to strengthen energy security through the expansion of renewables.

The species and pathogenicity of Alternaria fungi causing black spot disease in Anhui Province are still unclear. RESULTS: In this study, through phylogenetic analysis of multi-gene tandem sequences, pathogens causing pear black spot disease (PBS) in Anhui Province were identified, primarily Alternaria alternata, Alternaria gaisen and Alternaria tenuissima, with A. alternata being the dominant species (41.18%). The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) density of Alt a1 was much higher than that of other genes, and the codon bias was affected by both natural selection and mutation. The codon bias and the amino acid ratio of Alt a1 in A. alternata and A. gaisen were highly consistent, and A. tenuissima was quite different from them. The pathogenicity of A. alternata was significantly negatively correlated with the daily mycelia growth rate, dry weight of mycelia and alternariol production, and significantly positively correlated with tenuazonic acid (TeA) and tentoxin production. TeA might be the main virulence factor in the pathogenic process of A. alternata.

The determination of this important thermophysical property is usually through costly and time‐consuming experiments, which is not ideal for field recovery planning and rapid decision‐making. On the other hand, the conventional modelling relies largely on equations of state (EoS) and empirical correlations, which can be inaccurate for CO 2 –N 2 viscosity, particularly near supercritical conditions due to simplifying assumptions and limited transferability. Consequently, machine‐learning (ML) methods have gained popularity for fast and accurate prediction. Hence, in this study, ~3036 literature data points spanning pressures of 0.00127–160.99 MPa and temperature of 66.55–575.15 K were collected, cleaned and pre‐processed. Then, using pre‐processed data, several ML models, including gradient boosting (GB), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), LightGBM, CatBoost, random forest, three multilayer perceptron artificial neural networks (MLP‐ANNs), a stacking ensemble and a group method of data handling (GMDH) were developed. The developed models were benchmarked to predict CO 2 –N 2 viscosity as a function of temperature, pressure and the mole fractions of CO 2 –N 2 in the mixture. The analysis of the results indicate that the GB achieved the best performance with a correlation coefficient ( R 2 ) of 0.9933 ± 0.0011, root mean square error (RMSE) of 4.83 ± 0.39 μPa·s and mean absolute error (MAE) of 2.34 ± 0.10 μPa·s (mean ± 95% CI) for the test dataset, outperforming all other ML models and the utilised literature correlations. In addition, based on GMDH, two practical explicit equations within temperature ranges of T < 300 K and T > 300 K that predict the experimental viscosity with high accuracy were proposed. The sensitivity analysis also shows that the pressure has the highest positive impact, while temperature exhibited a comparably strong negative effect on viscosity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/er/2452722","authors":["Mohamed Abdullatif Enbaya Alwerfali","Foad Faraji","Mardin Abdalqadir","Jagar A.

Do these patients meet the goals?","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public hospital(s). Main funding source(s): Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena Introduction Ischemic heart disease is becoming increasingly common in young individuals, with dyslipidemia being an important risk factor for developing acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Recently, new analytical parameters of the lipid profile have been described, which are associated with a higher cardiovascular risk. Purpose The aim of the study was to analyse characteristics, lipid profile and, whether LDL goals are achieved in young patients with ACS admitted to our Coronary Care Unit (CCU). Methods Retrospective cohort of all patients with ACS minor than 45 years admitted to a CCU between January 2010 and February 2023. The LDL goals were established according to the European clinical practice guidelines (<70 mg/dL or <55 mg/dL after 2019). Results A total of 287 patients were included, with 82.6% being male and an average age of 41 years. 77% were smokers and 9% were ex-smokers. The prevalence of classic cardiovascular risk factors at admission was as follows: dyslipidemia 105 (37%), overweight 74 (26%), obesity 70 (25%), hypertension 87 (30%), and diabetes 29 (10%). Lipid profile’s results are showed in picture 1. Smoking, gender, as well as obesity or overweight were not significantly associated with a worse lipid profile. Significant differences were also not found based on the extent of coronary involvement (analyzing the number of affected vessels or the presence of coronary occlusion) or the reason for admission (NSTEMI vs. STEMI). As for secondary prevention, 70% of patients completed the cardiac rehabilitation program. The percentage of patients who achieved the LDL goal was 62.4% at 6 months (with an average of 61 mg/dL) and 52.4% at one year (with an average of 72 mg/dL). The majority of patients (74%) who did not meet the goals at 6 months still did not achieve them at one year. A higher initial LDL-C level was associated with a lower likelihood of achieving the goals at 6 months and one year, although it did not reach statistical significance at one year (p = 0.05 and 0.08, respectively). No other predictors of success were found, although participation in a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program was associated with a non-significant trend towards goal attainment, likely due to the small sample size (45% vs. 65%, p = 0.09). Conclusion Young patients with ACS have a good short-term and long-term prognosis, which is why secondary prevention becomes particularly important. However, a significant percentage of patients still do not achieve the recommended LDL-C goals, leaving room for improvement in reducing morbidity and mortality in this population. Larger patient series are needed to gain a better understanding of this population.Table 1.Lipid profile'sLDL and Lipoprotein (a) at admission","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ehjacc/zuae036.081","authors":["M Pelaz Sanchez","C Barea Gonzalez","D F Arroyo Monino","N Garcia Gonzalez","Juan C.

As the ultimate form of low-carbon transition for these clusters, zero-carbon industrial parks have become a central focus for policymakers and researchers worldwide. This paper presents a systematic framework for zero-carbon industrial parks centered on the concept of electricity-carbon integration–the deep coupling of power systems and carbon management systems. The framework encompasses four technical pillars: (1) real-time monitoring of energy and carbon flows using digital twin technology and dynamic emission factors; (2) coordinated optimization through source-grid-load-storage interaction and electricity-carbon joint dispatch, with virtual power plants (VPPs) as a key enabler; (3) deep decarbonization through mature technologies (e.g., BIPV(Building-Integrated Photovoltaics), waste heat recovery) and negative-emission technologies (e.g., CCUS(Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage), green hydrogen); and (4) closed-loop carbon asset management covering accounting, trading, and compliance. The paper systematically analyzes China’s power market reforms, develops VPP(Virtual Power Plant) aggregation and multi-timescale dispatch models, and establishes a comprehensive carbon monitoring system incorporating top-down atmospheric inversion and bottom-up joint monitoring (mass balance + CEMS(Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems)) with a relative deviation reduced from 19.45% to 0.02%. Hourly dynamic carbon emission factors and product carbon footprint accounting methods aligned with international “3-pillar” principles are also developed. Three national-level pilot zero-carbon parks in Datong, Yangjiang, and Yibin demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed framework, achieving renewable energy penetration rates exceeding 95% and carbon emission intensity reductions of over 50% for Scopes 1 and 2(the core optimization targets of the electricity-carbon dispatch model), while a supplementary Scope 3 accounting module provides full-chain carbon inventory for certification purposes. Based on these findings, the paper proposes the theoretical concept of the Electricity-Carbon Symbiotic Complex (ECSC), which reconceptualizes the relationship between power systems and carbon management from causality to symbiosis, enabling four-dimensional synergies: emission reduction, supply security, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement. Policy recommendations include establishing national technical guidelines for electricity-carbon integration, accelerating the convergence of VPPs with carbon management platforms, and piloting hourly dynamic carbon factors in carbon trading and green power certification.","url":"https://doi.org/10.70737/wkrt1307","authors":["Lu Hong","Feng Tian","Chunyan Diao","Jianfeng Li"],"tags":["Carbon footprint","Environmental economics","Renewable energy","Greenhouse gas","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.70737/wkrt1307","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7201066998","name":"Технологія отримання фумарової кислоти","source":"openalex","abstract":"Я як здобувач(ка) Національного університету харчових технологій розумію і підтримую політику університету з академічної доброчесності.Я не надавав(-ла) і не одержував(-ла) недозволеної допомоги під час підготовки цієї роботи.Використання ідей, результатів і текстів інших авторів мають посилання на відповідне джерело.Здобувач(ка)____________________ (підпис) Київ -2026 р.НАЦІОНАЛЬНИЙ УНІВЕРСИТЕТ ХАРЧОВИХ ТЕХНОЛОГІЙ Інститут _Навчально-науковий інститут харчових технологій____ Кафедра технології жирів, хімічних технологій харчових добавок та косметичних засобів Освітній ступінь__бакалавр_______________________________________ Спеціальність____161 Хімічні технології та інженерія________________ (код і назва) Освітньо-професійна програма ___Хімічна технологія_______________ (назва) ЗАТВЕРДЖУЮ Завідувач кафедри ТЖХТ__________ ________Тамара НОСЕНКО_______ \"____\" ______________ 2025 року З","url":"https://openalex.org/W7201066998","authors":["Катерина Станіславівна Кулик"],"tags":["Identification (biology)","Product (mathematics)","Process (computing)","Work (physics)","Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7151603637","name":"Evaluation of Bone Marrow Aspirations and Biopsy Finding in Patients with Pancytopenia","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background/Introduction: Nutritional deficiencies, bone marrow failure, and malignancies are just a few of the many causes of pancytopenia, a common hematological condition marked by a decrease in all three blood cell lineages. Appropriate management requires an accurate diagnosis. Trephine biopsy (BMB) and bone marrow aspiration (BMA) are essential tools for assessing these patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of bone marrow aspiration and biopsy in patients who present with pancytopenia and to determine the diagnostic utility of both procedures. Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out at the Department of Pathology, Government Medical College, Bettiah, Bihar, over the course of a year (25 January 2025– 25 January 2026). There were 200 patients in all who met the requirements for pancytopenia. Comprehensive laboratory, hematological, and clinical data were documented. In every case, a trephine biopsy and bone marrow aspiration were carried out, followed by morphological evaluation and any necessary ancillary tests. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: Of the patients, 40% were between the ages of 21 and 40, and 59% were male. Fever (55%), pallor (81%), and generalized weakness (85%) were common clinical features. In 52% of cases, a bone marrow examination showed hypercellular marrow. Megaloblastic anemia accounted for 40% of the cases, with aplastic anemia coming in second at 18%, acute leukemias at 15%, and myelodysplastic syndrome at 7%. In 77% of cases, bone marrow aspiration alone was diagnostic; in 23% of cases, biopsy yielded additional or confirmatory information, especially in cases involving hypocellular marrow, fibrosis, focal infiltration, and dry tap. In 82% of cases, aspiration and biopsy results were in agreement. Conclusion: The most common cause of pancytopenia in this group is still megaloblastic anemia. Although bone marrow aspiration is a useful first diagnostic method, trephine biopsy greatly improves diagnostic precision, particularly in certain situations. For the best assessment of pancytopenia, both methods must be used in conjunction with clinical correlation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.25258/ijpqa.17.3.15","authors":["Rimjhim Kumari","Rakhi Kumari","Rabindra Nath Prasad","Pradeep Kumar Singh"],"tags":["Pancytopenia","Medicine","Bone marrow","Biopsy","Aplastic anemia"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.25258/ijpqa.17.3.15","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7128875493","name":"反相 ZrO₂/Ni 催化剂的改性设计及其 CO₂ 甲烷化性能研究","source":"openalex","abstract":"Face à l'élévation continue des concentrations atmosphériques de CO₂ qui exacerbe l'effet de serre, les technologies de capture et de valorisation du carbone (CCU) sont devenues cruciales pour résoudre cette crise environnementale mondiale. La réaction de méthanisation du CO₂ (réaction de Sabatier : CO₂ + 4H₂ → CH₄ + 2H₂O, ΔH = -165 kJ/mol) constitue une approche bifonctionnelle pour la réduction des émissions carbonées et la production durable de gaz naturel synthétique (GNS). Le méthane sert également de précurseur clé pour synthétiser des hydrocarbures supérieurs et des produits chimiques à valeur ajoutée, renforçant ainsi la viabilité économique de ce procédé. Cependant, la stabilité thermodynamique intrinsèque du CO₂ exige des catalyseurs alliant haute activité, sélectivité et stabilité dans des conditions industrielles pertinentes. Bien que les catalyseurs à base de nickel soient économiquement attrayants, leurs configurations supportées conventionnelles présentent des limites telles qu'une performance insuffisante à basse température, un frittage métallique et une désactivation par dépôt de coke. Cette thèse conçoit systématiquement des catalyseurs inverses ZrO₂/Ni (architecture oxyde-sur-métal) par modulation contrôlée des rapports Zr/Ni, des méthodes de synthèse du support NiO, et du dopage stratégique par promoteurs. Une caractérisation approfondie (BET, XRD, H₂-TPR, CO₂-TPD, XPS) a élucidé les relations structure-activité fondamentales. Les avancées majeures comprennent : 1. Optimisation du Ratio Zr/Ni : Le catalyseur 70ZrO₂/30Ni synthétisé par imprégnation a démontré des performances optimales (250°C : 75% de conversion de CO₂, 99,7% de sélectivité en CH₄). Des effets synergiques ont été identifiés via une surface spécifique maximale (45,7 m²·g⁻¹), une abondance de Ni⁰ métallique (28,5%) et une concentration élevée en lacunes d'oxygène (Zr³⁺/(Zr³⁺+Zr⁴⁺) = 74,8%). La H₂-TPR a confirmé des interactions métal-support modérées inhibant le frittage du Ni, tandis que les DRIFTS in situ ont établi une voie formiate dominante (CO₂ → HCO₃* → HCOO* → CH₄) sans formation parallèle de CO. La METR a vérifié la présence d'interfaces ZrO₂-Ni favorisant le transfert de charge. 2. Mécanisme de Synthèse du Support : Le catalyseur supporté sur NiO issu d'une calcination directe (70Zr/30Ni-C) s'est révélé supérieur à ses analogues coprécipités (70Zr/30Ni-P) grâce à une dispersion améliorée du Ni⁰, davantage de lacunes d'oxygène (XPS), et plus de sites basiques de force moyenne (CO₂-TPD). Le NiO pur n'a montré qu'une activité catalytique négligeable, attribuée à des sites actifs insuffisants et à une faible capacité d'adsorption du CO₂. 3. Ingénierie des Promoteurs : Optimisation de Gd : 5Gd65ZrO₂/30Ni atteint 65% de conversion de CO₂ à 250°C avec une stabilité de 20 heures. Gd améliore la dispersion du Ni (diminution de taille: 25,7 → 23,7 nm), facilite la réductibilité (H₂-TPR) et augmente la basicité de force moyenne (CO₂-TPD). Screening de Promoteurs : Des dopants Y, La, Sr et Pr ont été évalués. 5Y65Zr/30Ni montre une efficacité supérieure via une surface spécifique accrue, une dispersion optimisée du Ni et une chimiadsorption améliorée du CO₂. La et Pr renforcent la basicité intermédiaire, tandis que Sr dégrade les performances en raison d'une mauvaise dispersion métallique. Ces travaux établissent de manière concluante les corrélations composition-structure-activité dans les systèmes inverses ZrO₂/Ni. En gouvernant la stœchiométrie Zr/Ni, la synthèse des supports et la sélection des promoteurs, les limitations d'activité à basse température ont été surmontées tout en renforçant la durabilité.

Coal seams characterized by dual porosity represent a favorable geological structure for storing carbon dioxide. The adsorption characteristics and storage capacity of CO 2 in the coal seam are the core indexes to evaluate the feasibility of CO 2 injection and storage. Anthracite samples from the south of the Qinshui basin were selected for multi-physical field-coupled CO 2 isothermal adsorption experiments. This study investigates the adsorption behavior of high-rank coal samples toward CO 2, compares the applicability of various theoretical adsorption models, selects the optimal one to build a storage capacity prediction model, and evaluates the CO 2 storage potential of high-rank coal seams. The results indicate that pressure has a positive effect on the adsorption of CO 2 (before reaching the supercritical state), while temperature inhibits the adsorption of CO 2 by coal samples. With the increase in water saturation, the adsorption capacity of coal samples for CO 2 gradually decreases. The theoretical model of micropore filling (the D–A model) has good applicability for predicting the adsorption of CO 2 in coal samples. On the basis of experimental results, estimation models for CO 2 content under different occurrence states and a predictive model for total storage capacity were established. The content of each CO 2 occurrence state is influenced by factors such as formation temperature, pressure, and water saturation. CO 2 is mainly stored in coal reservoirs in the form of adsorption. With increasing burial depth, the proportion of free-state CO 2 shows an increasing trend, while the content of dissolved-state CO 2 exhibits a decreasing trend. The synergistic evolution of three states determines the vertical zoning of the CO 2 storage capacity. These findings advance the understanding of storage mechanisms following CO 2 injection into high-rank coal reservoirs and provide a quantitative method for assessing the feasibility and storage potential of such injections.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.6c01373","authors":["Jinxiao Yang","Chen Guo","Lingling Lu","Yi Dong","Junzhe Gao"],"tags":["Coal","Adsorption","Environmental science","Waste management","Materials science"],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.6c01373","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.210Z"},{"id":"oa:W3158146122","name":"Thyroid Storm: A Diagnostic Conundrum","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Thyroid storm is a life threatening complication of hyperthyroidism which comes with multi-system involvement and is associated with a mortality of 8-25% despite modern advancements in treatment and supportive measures.

Upon evaluation, she was in moderate respiratory distress, restless, tachypneic and tachycardic. She had bilateral proptosis and visible jugular venous pulsation along-with bibasilar crackles and pitting edema bilaterally. Lab tests revealed BNP 539 pg/ml and D-Dimer 6401 ng/ml. ECG showed atrial flutter, Chest X-Ray showed bilateral pleural effusions, and CT Chest was negative for pulmonary embolism but revealed anterior mediastinal mass, differential of which included thymoma or teratoma. She was admitted to CCU for aggressive diuresis, control of heart rate and was started on anticoagulation. A review of medical records from outside hospital revealed patient was hyperthyroid 8 months ago, however, was not on any medications. Given a Burch-Wartofsky score >70, she was started on IV hydrocortisone and cholestyramine for severe thyrotoxicosis. Endocrinology was consulted and added PTU to management. TFTs revealed a TSH 0.006 IU/ml, FT4 4 ng/dL and T3 2.5 ng/ml. Bedside ECHO showed LVEF of 14% with global hypokinesis and thyroid ultrasound revealed an enlarged, heterogenous thyroid with a solid, isoechoic, calcified left lobe nodule measuring 0.8 x 0.4 x 0.5 cm. Her serum TSI and thyrotropin receptor antibodies were elevated at 17.20 IU/L and 20.20 IU/L, respectively. She responded to treatment and was discharged on metoprolol, losartan, spironolactone, and furosemide for new-onset heart failure, apixaban for atrial flutter, and PTU and cholestyramine for hyperthyroidism, with Cardiology and Endocrinology follow-ups. Thyroid disease is a common illness affecting 9 to 15 percent of the adults. Thyrotoxicosis refers to the clinical syndrome of hyper-metabolism due to excessive amount of circulating thyroid hormones. The incidence of thyroid storm is 0.57 to 0.76 per 100,000 people per year in the US. It most commonly occurs in women and is more common in patients with underlying Grave’s Disease. The exact underlying mechanism that leads to thyroid storm is not well understood but adrenergic activation seems to have a major role.

Two researchers independently conducted the literature search without restrictions on publication year. From April 1 to 15, 2026, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, ERIC, and RISS databases were searched, and 15 studies were ultimately included. Digital twin applications were identified in 3 major domains: clinical practice and patient-centered care, education and training, and decision-making and workflow management. Application methods and outcomes varied according to technological implementation and included (1) modeling and data-driven prediction, (2) development of immersive learning and practice-training environments, and (3) system integration and decision-support frameworks. In clinical settings, multimodal patient data can be analyzed using artificial intelligence and machine learning to generate a virtual persona resembling the patient, thereby facilitating real-time personalized nursing care and self-management. In educational settings, digital twins can provide realistic and safe learning environments that enhance training effectiveness. Digital twins show substantial potential to advance predictive and personalized nursing in both clinical practice and education. Their data-driven capabilities are expected to contribute to innovative applications in future nursing practice and educational environments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3352/jeehp.2026.23.13","authors":["Ahmad Fakhzan Lim Ahmad Fahmi Lim","Hyun Kyoung Kim"],"tags":["Workflow","Computer science","Clinical Practice","Nursing practice","Digital health"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3352/jeehp.2026.23.13","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7167212434","name":"COMO AS DESIGUALDADES REGIONAIS INFLUENCIAM A OCORRÊNCIA DA SÍFILIS NO BRASIL: EVIDÊNCIAS DE UMA REVISÃO NARRATIVA","source":"openalex","abstract":"A sífilis permanece como um importante problema de saúde pública no Brasil, com aumento de casos nas últimas décadas, especialmente na forma congênita, refletindo fragilidades na atenção pré-natal e desigualdades sociais e regionais que influenciam o acesso e a qualidade dos serviços de saúde. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar como as desigualdades regionais influenciam a ocorrência da sífilis no Brasil. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, realizada nos meses de março e abril de 2026, a partir de buscas nas bases de dados LILACS, SciELO e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), utilizando os descritores “Sífilis”, “Sífilis Congênita” e “Vigilância Epidemiológica”. Foram incluídos estudos primários publicados entre 2020 e 2026, disponíveis na íntegra e relacionados ao contexto brasileiro. Ao final, nove estudos compuseram a amostra, além da análise do Boletim Epidemiológico de Sífilis do Ministério da Saúde. Os resultados evidenciam que a sífilis apresenta distribuição heterogênea no território nacional, associada a desigualdades socioeconômicas e regionais. Fatores como baixa escolaridade, vulnerabilidade social e acesso limitado aos serviços de saúde influenciam o diagnóstico tardio e o tratamento inadequado. Além disso, fragilidades na qualidade do pré-natal, mesmo em cenários de alta cobertura, contribuem para a persistência da sífilis congênita. Diferenças na infraestrutura dos serviços e na capacidade de vigilância também impactam a ocorrência e o registro da doença. Conclui-se que as desigualdades regionais influenciam significativamente a ocorrência da sífilis no Brasil, evidenciando a necessidade de fortalecer a Atenção Primária à Saúde, qualificar o cuidado pré-natal e reduzir iniquidades sociais, sendo fundamentais estratégias integradas e equitativas para o controle da doença e a eliminação da sífilis congênita.","url":"https://doi.org/10.63330/livroautoral602026-002","authors":["Cleiton Charles da Silva","Simone Cartacho Macedo Macambira","Regina Célia Gonçalves de Andrade","Roseane Araújo Costa Ferreira"],"tags":["Medicine","Context (archaeology)","Humanities","Social inequality","Gerontology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.63330/livroautoral602026-002","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7162106470","name":"Association between glycemic variability and mortality after coronary stent implantation in critically ill patients: a retrospective cohort study","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Glycemic variability (GV) has been associated with adverse outcomes in critical illness; however, its prognostic relevance in patients undergoing coronary stent implantation remains unclear. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 2,427 adult patients who underwent coronary stent implantation and were admitted to the coronary care unit (CCU) or cardiovascular intensive care unit (CVICU) using data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Glycemic variability (GV) was defined as the coefficient of variation of blood glucose (standard deviation/mean ×100%). The primary and secondary outcomes were in-hospital and 365-day all-cause mortality. Associations were assessed using multivariable Cox models. Nonlinear relationships, survival differences, discriminative ability, and mediation effects were evaluated using restricted cubic splines, Kaplan-Meier analysis, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and mediation analysis, respectively. External validation was performed in the eICU Collaborative Research Database. RESULTS: Patients in the highest GV quartile had significantly higher risks of in-hospital mortality (HR 2.58, 95% CI 1.30, 5.13) and 365-day mortality (HR 1.77, 95% CI 1.20, 2.60) compared with those in the lowest quartile. A significant trend across GV quartiles was observed (p for trend < 0.01), although excess risk was primarily driven by the highest quartile. These associations were consistent across analyses and were externally validated. Mediation analysis indicated that blood urea nitrogen accounted for 7.7% and 10.3% of the association, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Elevated glycemic variability (GV) was independently associated with increased risks of in-hospital and 365-day all-cause mortality after coronary stent implantation. GV may serve as a simple and clinically accessible marker for risk stratification in this population.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12872-026-06005-2","authors":["Xiao-jun Xiang","Xiao-long Sun","Dong-Yu Ma","Li Ma","Meng-Yang Liu","Jian-Feng Li","Wei Zhang","Yin-Di Wang","Ping Xie"],"tags":["Medicine","Retrospective cohort study","Glycemic","Quartile","Intensive care unit"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12872-026-06005-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7163411187","name":"Myxedema Coma Presenting as Ogilvie Syndrome with Type 2 Respiratory Failure in an Elderly Male with Pre-existing Deaf mutism: A Diagnostic and Management Challenge","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background: Myxedema coma is the most severe, life-threatening manifestation of hypothyroidism, characterised by multiorgan dysfunction with reported mortality rates of 25–60% even with optimal intensive care. Its co-occurrence with acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie syndrome) - a condition of massive colonic dilatation without mechanical obstruction - is exceedingly rare and constitutes a formidable diagnostic trap, particularly in patients with communication barriers. Case Summary: We report a 70-year-old deaf-and-dumb male who presented to the emergency room with a 10-day history of constipation, progressive generalised weakness, abdominal distension, and a markedly reduced level of consciousness. Clinical features included hypothermia (95°F), bradycardia, facial puffiness, dry skin, brittle hair, pallor, cold peripheries, and a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 9/15 on admission. Severe primary hypothyroidism was confirmed (TSH 60.00 mIU/L; T3 0.46 nmol/L; T4 0.08 nmol/L). The Popoveniuc Myxedema Coma Diagnostic Score was 170 - firmly in the highly diagnostic range (>60). CT abdomen/pelvis revealed dilated large bowel loops loaded with faecal matter consistent with Ogilvie syndrome without mechanical obstruction. Serial ABG documented worsening Type 2 Respiratory Failure with mixed acidosis. The patient required emergency intubation, vasopressor support, and was escalated to a Critical Care Unit (CCU). Management included IV fluids, inotropes and vasopressors, IV hydrocortisone, oral levothyroxine loading (300 mg stat then 200 mg 8-hourly), IV antibiotics, and enema/laxatives for colonic decompression. Progressive thrombocytopenia and ventilator-associated pneumonia complicated the hospital course; the patient did not tolerate repeated extubation attempts and tracheostomy was declined by family. Conclusion: This case highlights an uncommonly reported dual diagnosis of myxedema coma and Ogilvie syndrome with multiorgan failure in a geriatric patient with communication impairment, demonstrating the compounded diagnostic challenge. A Popoveniuc score of 170 signified extremely high severity and poor prognosis.

SER directs and integrates cutting-edge energy research and academic programmes at UW and bridges academics and industry through targeted outreach programmes. With an emphasis on research, innovation and the commercialization of energy resources, centres of excellence (COEs) bring together faculty and graduate students from multiple disciplines to develop important energy research programmes. COEs evolve with time; new groups may form to work on emerging challenges, while some centres may disband as their programmes are completed. Highlights of a few of the COEs are described below. The Center for Economic Geology Research (CEGR) engages in the research and development necessary to keep Wyoming at the cutting edge of geological CO2 storage. Through various research projects and cooperative initiatives, the CEGR aims to speed the development and deployment of successful, safe geologic CO2 storage, both in Wyoming and elsewhere. The CEGR currently leads the Wyoming CarbonSAFE project—a Department of Energy (DOE)-funded initiative that aims to investigate a safe, permanent geologic storage solution for CO2 in Gillette, Wyoming. The research that cost-shares from project partners is sited adjacent to Basin Electric’s Dry Fork power station (Figs 1–3). The drill spinning on the test site ultimately reached a depth of 3009 m (9873 ft) The test-well drill site is located in Campbell County, Wyoming, adjacent to the Dry Forks Power Station Over 190 m (625 ft) of core samples were extracted from the drill site to analyse the various geologic formations underground Announced in 2016, the US DOE’s Carbon Storage Assurance and Facility Enterprise (CarbonSAFE) programme is intended to support the development of several large-scale integrated carbon capture and storage projects by the 2025 timeframe. Each project must capture and geologically store in one or more saline reservoirs a minimum of 50 million metric tons (Mt) of CO2 (or ~2 million metric tons of CO2/year over a 25-year project life) with the preferred CO2 source being a coal-fired power plant. Each project must additionally demonstrate that it is ‘economically viable’, which will require the development of business cases involving the utilization of CO2 such as enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR). The Wyoming CarbonSAFE project is one of five carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) project sites that has advanced into Phase III of the investigation. The CEGR is a founding partner of the US–China CERC—a US DOE effort to foster the collaborative research and development of CCUS technology between the USA and China. This partnership will accelerate the rapid development of clean-coal technology in both countries while forging meaningful relationships between American and Chinese researchers, and advancing US and Chinese leadership in energy technology and innovation. The CEGR is working closely with Chinese researchers from Shaanxi Province to characterize and evaluate the geological CO2-storage potential of the Majiagou Limestone at a site near Yulin in the Ordos Basin of Shaanxi Province, which contains China’s largest coal resource. CEGR researchers will also evaluate the potential for enhanced oil recovery via CO2 flooding in the basin. Post-characterization research will involve subsurface injection simulation and risk assessment. This research is imperative because existing coal-to-liquid and coal-to-chemical plants in this area currently vent >30 million tons of highly concentrated CO2 annually. With its partners, the CEGR aims to use the results of this research to pave the way for successful CO2 storage in the Ordos Basin.

Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs), combining polymer matrices with functional inorganic or hybrid nanofillers, have emerged as advanced separation platforms capable of surpassing the conventional permeability–selectivity trade-off observed in neat polymer membranes. This review critically evaluates recent developments in modern hybrid membranes for CO2 separation from synthetic and industrial gas mixtures, including CO2/N2 (flue gas), CO2/CH4 (natural gas and biogas upgrading), and syngas systems. Particular emphasis is placed on MMMs incorporating covalent organic frameworks (COFs), metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), graphene oxide (GO), MXenes, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), g-C3N4, layered double hydroxides (LDH), zeolites, metal oxides, and magnetic nanoparticles. Reported performance ranges include CO2 permeability (PCO2) typically between 100 and 800 Barrer, CO2/N2 selectivity up to 319, and CO2/CH4 selectivity up to 249, depending on filler chemistry, loading, and interfacial compatibility. The mechanisms governing gas transport—molecular sieving, selective adsorption, facilitated transport, and diffusion-pathway engineering—are systematically discussed. Key challenges addressed include filler dispersion, polymer–filler interfacial defects, physical aging, moisture sensitivity, oxidation (particularly in MXenes), and scalability toward industrial membrane modules. Future perspectives focus on sub-nanometer pore engineering, surface functionalization to enhance CO2 affinity, controlled alignment of 2D nanosheets to promote directional transport, multifunctional core–shell and hollow structures, and the integration of computational modeling and machine learning for accelerated material design. Modern hybrid MMMs are identified as strategically important materials enabling high-efficiency CO2 separation processes aligned with decarbonization and energy transition objectives.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en19082002","authors":["Aleksandra Rybak","Aleksandra Rybak","Aurelia Rybak","Aurelia Rybak","Jarosław Joostberens","Spas D.

Under the framework of the national climate change strategy, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is currently regarded as the only viable technology capable of achieving large‐scale, near‐zero‐emission utilization of fossil energy, thereby contributing significantly to the carbon neutrality goal of China. In this study, the brine layer of the Jilin Oilfield was selected as the research target, and numerical simulation of CO 2 ‐formation water‐rock reactions was conducted using the TOUGHREACT software. The effects of CO 2 injection on reservoir fluid pH, mineral transformation, and ion concentrations in formation water were systematically analyzed. The simulation results indicate that both dissolution and precipitation reactions occurred simultaneously in the acidic CO 2 solution, with the pH of the formation water stabilizing at approximately 4.8. Overall, the reaction system exhibited a tendency for magnesite, montmorillonite, kaolinite, illite, and dolomite to precipitate, while albite, chlorite, and calcite were prone to dissolution. Different mineral assemblages were generated at various stages of the reaction process. The dissolution of CO 2 increased rock porosity and permeability. However, the magnitude of these changes was relatively minor, exerting little influence on the CO 2 injection capacity. The findings of this study provide valuable experimental references and theoretical support for CO 2 sequestration in saline aquifers of the Jilin Oilfield.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/eng2.70694","authors":["Yunhai ZHANG","Shaoqing Wang","Li Qing","Li Jinlong","Song Yan","Chen Xingyu","Yang Bo"],"tags":["Dolomite","Dissolution","Carbon sequestration","Calcite","Carbonate"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/eng2.70694","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7203679000","name":"O Petróleo e a biossorção - fibras de coco: fundamentos, caracterização e aplicação","source":"openalex","abstract":"Atua em projetos de pesquisa e consultorias técnicas nas áreas de bioprocessos, remediação de áreas impactadas por derramamentos de petróleo, desenvolvimento de biossorventes de origem lignocelulósica e processos de Captura, Utilização e Armazenamento de Carbono (CCUS), com foco em soluções inovadoras e sustentáveis.Desenvolve pesquisas em modelagem cinética e de equilíbrio de sorção, caracterização de materiais biológicos, análise de componentes orgânicos e inorgânicos em ambientes naturais e petróleo, além da aplicação de biotecnologias voltadas à remediação ambiental e à mitigação das mudanças climáticas.É inventora de patentes relacionadas ao desenvolvimento de biossorventes para remediação de derramamentos de petróleo e autora de artigos científicos publicados em periódicos internacionais de elevado impacto científico.Integra a equipe do Laboratório de Estudos do Petróleo (LEPETRO), participa de projetos de pesquisa voltados à remediação ambiental e ao desenvolvimento de soluções sustentáveis para ecossistemas costeiros, e é membro dos grupos de pesquisa BTS -Biogeoquímica de Ecossistemas Marinhos Tropicais e Soluções Baseadas na Natureza e Engenharia de Bioprocessos e Biomateriais.","url":"https://doi.org/10.36229/978-65-5866-696-7","authors":["Célia Karina Maia Cardoso","Ícaro Thiago Andrade Moreira","Olívia Maria Cordeiro de Oliveira","Ana Katerine de Carvalho Lima Lobato"],"tags":["Materials science","Deformation (meteorology)","Composite material","Welding","Compression (physics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.36229/978-65-5866-696-7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W2931930619","name":"Recycling.

In this issue of Chimica Oggi / Chemistry Today I will talk about the third and last carbon source (besides biomass and CO2) that can be used as alternative for fossil resources. This 3rd source is the recycling of waste materials. In order to meet the Paris agreement targets for CO2 reduction, recycling of all materials, including plastics, which has developed over the last 15 years, must be maximized. If we don’t, plastics will account for 15% of the total carbon budget in 2050 according to the Ellen McArthur foundation. The other main reason for recycling is becoming more and more obvious. We need to help conserve valuable resources, such as all metals, carbon, plastic materials and energy in order to be sustainable. The overarching goal of sustainability is the use of technology and resources to “meet our current needs without compromising on the needs of future generations”. In other words, we can use resources (stuff) at a rate at which it can be replaced and we should minimize damage in the process of doing so.","url":"https://openalex.org/W2931930619","authors":["G.-J.M.

In developed countries, the tendency towards the rejection of using energy coal accelerated in the end of 2000s under the pressure of climatic considerations. The global COVID‑19 pandemic has led to the acceleration of the world energy balance restructuring at the expense of lowering demand for coal. Coal is crowded out from energy consumption for both climatic considerations as well as because of the strong harmful effect of coal power plants emissions on health. Developed and an increasing number of developing countries strengthen and expand complex of measures aimed at coal energy displacement: emissions trading systems and direct emissions tax, Coal Plant Directive and closures of coal mines. Decarbonisation has been accelerated after Pittsburgh Summit (2009) and Paris Agreement (2015). By 2020, developed countries have largely abandoned direct subsidies for coal consumption, and all major international development banks have limited their involvement in coal-fired generation and have stopped considering coal mining projects. Developing countries continue support coal consumption and production in order to maintain economic growth and employment. Excessive supply will lead to overstocking of the coal market, lower prices and slowdown of the decline in coal consumption after COVID‑19. Although several largest economies in the Asian-Pacific Region, primarily China, India and Indonesia, continue to increase coal generation capacities (HELE plants), the analysis in the article shows that after the accomplishment of the recovery growth in the world economy by 2025, global demand for energy coal will start to steadily decline. China announced plans to curtail coal use after 2025, G‑7 decided to stop financing coal projects. Meantime many developing countries with low level of income and modest financial capacities cannot afford to quit comparatively cheap coal quickly as a factor supporting economic growth. Increasing High-Efficiency, Low-Emissions coal plants demand is rapidly rising requirements to coal quality.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20542/0131-2227-2021-65-11-40-48","authors":["M.

Problems of Compliance with the Rule of Law during State Intervention in the Functioning of the Natural Gas Market of UkraineThe article presents the results of the study of The Rule of Law, as well as topical problems of its observance in the process of regulation and transformation of energy markets.Within the framework of the analysis, the essence and content of the principle of The Rule of Law, the purpose of which is to protect a person from arbitrary actions of state authorities, as well as its integral elements, is established on the basis of scientific achievements of foreign and Ukrainian lawyers, taking into account the practice of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine (hereinafter, the CCU) and the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter, the ECtHR).The problems of compliance with The Rule of Law in the process of reforming energy markets are analyzed on the example of the mechanism for ensuring public interests in the process of functioning of the natural gas market of Ukraine.The analysis shows that, under certain circumstances, state interference in market operation and in the private rights of market participants through measures purportedly aimed at safeguarding the public interest may be regarded as arbitrary and as a departure from the principle of good governance, thereby infringing the individual rights and interests of economic operators.A fair balance can be achieved only where there exists a compelling and urgent justification for public authorities to interfere with an individual's private rights to protect public interests.Such interference must observe a reasonable proportionality between the legitimate aim pursued and the means employed to attain that aim.It must also provide for mandatory and equitable compensation to the affected individual when the interference is prompted by considerations of social necessity.Furthermore, such interference may occur only on the basis of clearly articulated and precisely formulated conditions that define the scope and limits of permissible intrusion into private rights.The sole legitimate instrument of state intervention in the functioning of Ukraine's natural gas market, intended to safeguard public interests during its operation, clearly requires renewal and improvement, as it does not adequately ensure compliance with The Rule of Law due to violations of the related principles of proportionality and legal certainty.Its modernization should be carried out with due regard to the fundamental constitutional principles governing economic activity in Ukraine, as well as the common rules for the functioning of the internal natural gas market and other European Union (EU) and Energy Community (EC) Gas Acquis.Key words: rule of law, principle of proportionality, public interest, private interest, fair balance, state intervention, legal certainty, public special obligations, compensation.Вступ.Угодою про асоціацію між Україною, з однієї сторони, та Європейським Союзом, Європейським співтовариством з атомної енергії і їхніми державами-членами, з іншої сторони (далі -Угода про асоціацію) як головним євроінтеграційним дороговказом на сучасному розвитку відносин її сторін, серед іншого, підтверджено намір сторін активізувати","url":"https://doi.org/10.32842/2078-3736/2026.3.12","authors":["S.

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o nível de conhecimento de mulheres residentes no município de Jequié, Bahia, acerca do câncer do colo do útero, seus fatores de risco, formas de prevenção e a influência do processo de desinformação na adesão às práticas preventivas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem quantitativa, de caráter exploratório e descritivo, realizada com 70 mulheres com idades entre 18 e 64 anos, no mês de março de 2026, por meio da aplicação de um questionário estruturado em formato digital. Os dados foram analisados com base em estatística descritiva, permitindo identificar padrões de conhecimento e lacunas informacionais. Os resultados evidenciaram que, embora a maioria das participantes relate conhecer a doença e o vírus HPV, ainda há déficits significativos quanto à compreensão da etiologia, da periodicidade adequada do exame citopatológico e da importância da vacinação. Observou-se também baixa adesão ao exame Papanicolau e à vacinação, além da influência de fatores emocionais e socioculturais, como medo, vergonha e tabus, que dificultam a busca por serviços de saúde. Adicionalmente, verificou-se a presença expressiva de desinformação, especialmente no ambiente digital, contribuindo para dúvidas e inseguranças quanto às práticas preventivas. Constatou-se, ainda, que grande parte das participantes manifesta interesse em receber mais orientações confiáveis. Conclui-se que a desinformação constitui um dos principais entraves para o enfrentamento do câncer do colo do útero, sendo imprescindível o fortalecimento de estratégias educativas, ações de promoção da saúde e práticas de cuidado humanizadas no âmbito da Atenção Primária à Saúde, visando ampliar o acesso à informação qualificada e reduzir a incidência e mortalidade da doença.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54899/dcs.v23i92.6421","authors":["Élida Silva dos Santos","George Gabriel Souza Sales","Gisele Lima dos Santos","Luiz Henrique Ferreira dos Santos","Maria Isabel Cardoso Bastos Santos","Maria da Conceição Quirino dos Santos"],"tags":["Humanities","Medicine","Philosophy","Work (physics)","Context (archaeology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.54899/dcs.v23i92.6421","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7169033260","name":"Modern Anti-Corruption Policy in the USA, EU, and Ukraine: Medico-Pharmaceutical Law as the Basic of Forensic Pharmaceutical and Criminal Research on the Exclusion of Criminal Actions in Healthcare Institutions","source":"openalex","abstract":"The article considers the problem of corruption as a systemic phenomenon in the field of health care and the pharmaceutical sector in the context of European and national challenges.

There have been some modest developments concerning aid intensities, notably regarding STEP, and some Member State have made small changes to assisted areas, partly associated with the Just Transition Areas, but the overall position is largely settled, as the current guidelines approach the end of their lifespan, with the Commission likely to launch a public consultation on their future in the course of 2026.

Accurate quantification of both lime process emissions and carbonation sink is essential for the Global Carbon Budget (GCB). By extending temporal coverage (1930–2024), refining spatial resolution (11 major lime-producing countries), and expanding system boundaries (adding Blast Furnace Slag, BFS), this study constructs the first standardized dataset of lime CO2 process emissions and carbonation sink covering 81.09 % of global lime production. We estimate cumulative global lime process emissions are 15.29 Gt CO2 (95 % CI: 13.81–16.79 Gt CO2), with the construction and metallurgical sectors serving as primary sources, contributing 5.80 Gt CO₂ (37.92 %) and 5.04 Gt CO₂ (32.95 %), respectively. During the same period, cumulative lime carbonation sink reached 7.33 Gt CO₂ (95 % CI: 5.95–8.88 Gt CO₂), achieving a carbon offset ratio (cement carbonation sink to process emission) of 47.65 %, which is 8.32 % increase compared with Bing et al. (2023). The lime carbonation sink in 2024 accounted for approximately 1.5 %–2 % of the global terrestrial carbon sink in 2023. China is the main contributor, with cumulative emissions of 8.89 Gt CO₂ (58.13 % of the global total) and cumulative carbonation sink of 4.21 Gt CO₂ (57.45 % globally) from 1930 to 2024. Lime‑stabilized soil (LSS, 36.53 %), mortar (MOR, 18.66 %), steel slag (SS, 17.73 %), and blast furnace slag (BFS, 12.83 %) were the primary carbon uptake materials, collectively accounting for 85.75 % of the total carbonation sink. Significant regional disparities were pronounced: developed countries (e.g., those in Europe, the United States, Japan, and Australia) have already peaked in lime process carbon emissions, with net emissions gradually approaching zero. In contrast, developing countries such as China and Brazil continue to exhibit growth in both emissions and carbonation sink. Although their carbon‑offset levels exceed 50 %, they face substantial pressure to reduce total emissions. This dataset provides critical data for incorporating the lime carbonation sink into the Global Carbon Budget. It also contributes to optimizing global carbon modelling and regional carbon‑neutrality pathways.

Aim: To explore and map how Teach-Back has been applied in adults with cardiovascular disease and to describe outcomes assessed in the literature. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the PRISMA-ScR checklist. MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and Scopus databases were searched up to January 2026. Studies involving adult patients with cardiovascular disease receiving Teach-Back–based interventions were included. Data were charted and synthesized descriptively, focusing on intervention characteristics, delivery contexts, and reported outcomes. Results: Eighteen studies were included, with heart failure being the most frequently investigated condition. Teach-Back was delivered across hospital, outpatient, and home-care settings, often as part of multicomponent educational or transitional-care interventions. Outcomes were grouped into five domains: knowledge and understanding, self-care and adherence, clinical outcomes, healthcare utilization, and patient-reported outcomes. Improvements were most consistently reported for knowledge, understanding, self-care, and adherence, whereas findings on readmissions and other clinical outcomes were less homogenous. Conclusions: Teach-Back appears particularly relevant for cardiovascular nursing practice at points of high-risk communication, including discharge, early post-discharge follow-up, and self-management reinforcement. As a low-resource strategy, it may support nurses in verifying patient understanding and reducing misinterpretation during care transitions. Future studies should standardize delivery, training, fidelity monitoring, documentation, and outcome measurement.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/healthcare14142093","authors":["Débora Rosa","E.

However, during geological CO2 storage, the injection rate and fault roughness are critical factors influencing the risk of fault activation, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To address this, this study simulated the fault activation process through shear slip of fractures in a laboratory setting, systematically conducting triaxial shear-seepage tests on sandstone fractures under varying CO2 injection rates and roughness conditions. The morphology of the fracture surfaces before and after the tests was reconstructed and analyzed using a 3D scanner. The results indicate that: (1) The critical activation pressure of the fracture increases with the CO2 injection rate but decreases with increasing fracture roughness. (2) As either the CO2 injection rate or roughness increases, the time required for fracture activation during the injection-driven phase decreases. The deformation mechanism gradually shifts from being predominantly governed by shear slip to being co-controlled by shear slip and normal displacement, with normal displacement occurring prior to shear slip. (3) For smooth fractures, changes in surface morphology post-activation are negligible, and permeability increases only slightly. In contrast, for rough fractures, surface roughness decreases significantly after activation; however, permeability increases substantially due to the dilation effect. The findings of this research provide a theoretical reference for optimizing injection strategies and warning against fault instability risks in CO2 geological storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3724/1000-6915.jrme.2025.0606","authors":["Man Li","Zhixiong Luo","Dianbin GUO","Dawei HU","Fujian YANG","Hui ZHOU"],"tags":["Slip (aerodynamics)","Surface roughness","Surface finish","Shear (geology)","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3724/1000-6915.jrme.2025.0606","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7196996896","name":"AI-Enhanced Sustainable Cement Manufacturing: Optimization, Efficiency, and Environmental Impact Reduction","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9645556/v1","authors":["Rohit Sharma"],"tags":["Sustainability","Process (computing)","Production (economics)","Cement kiln","Kiln"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9645556/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7140272882","name":"HUMAN-CENTEREDNESS AS A FOUNDATION FOR HRD IN THE IT SECTOR: A STRUCTURAL MODEL OF ENGAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES","source":"openalex","abstract":"The article develops an integrated structural model of human-centric human resource development (HRD) in the IT sector.

The methodology draws on a systematic review of Scopus publications (2019–2026) with narrative meta-synthesis of standardized path coefficients and mediation types. The meta-synthesis confirmed the robustness of the links between working conditions and employee engagement, between development investments and engagement, and between engagement and HRD outcomes; it also verified the mediating role of engagement in the relationship between HR management factors and organizational outcomes. The sectoral analysis revealed three IT-specific features: the digital workplace functions not as an auxiliary tool but as a substantive characteristic of professional activity; talent retention is driven by project meaningfulness and technical environment quality rather than compensation; and engagement has a dual nature — the flow state in programming can coexist with exhaustion due to technostress. The scientific novelty lies in proposing a model that integrates human-centric working conditions, development investments, and the digital workplace as three exogenous constructs with employee engagement as mediator and HRD outcomes as endogenous construct within a single analytical framework for the IT sector, as well as in introducing the digital workplace as an independent predictor with IT-specific indicators.

However, pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDI) contain propellants with global warming potential. Efforts to reduce healthcare-related carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions have driven non-clinical switches to dry powder inhalers (DPIs) in some countries, potentially impacting patient outcomes. This study assesses CO2e emissions and cost impact of non-clinically driven single inhaler triple therapy (SITT) initiation or inhaler switch in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the UK, Sweden, and Denmark.Methods A literature review informed a cost and CO2e budget impact model. Sensitivity analyses explored parameter variations; additional analysis examined expected impact of introducing pMDIs with next-generation propellants (NGPs) from 2026.Results Projections of environmentally driven inhaler policies for 2024 − 2028 showed unexpectedly lower CO2e emission reductions (kgCO2e) (UK= −15,400,340, Sweden= −824,682, Denmark= −384,683) and increased healthcare costs (in millions) (UK=£563.5; Sweden=€37.4; Denmark=€30.3). Higher CO2e emissions related to COPD exacerbations offset ∼65 − 70% of anticipated inhaler-related CO2e savings. Continuing these switch policies after introduction of pMDIs with NGPs completely negated CO2e savings, resulting in a 12–13-fold increase in total CO2e emissions.Conclusion CO2e emission savings with non-clinically driven DPI use within the SITT class are offset by increased emissions from poorer clinical control and healthcare use. Prescribing policies/guidelines preferring DPIs over pMDIs for environmental reasons should be updated, recognizing that pMDIs with NGP have a greenhouse gas footprint similar to DPIs. Optimal COPD management through evidence-based guidelines and appropriate inhaler selection is crucial to minimizing carbon footprint and healthcare resource utilization while improving patient outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03007995.2026.2628120","authors":["Krishnali Parsekar","Georgios Xydopoulos","Abdelhamid Yousef","George Agathangelou","Richard Fordham","Magnus Köping-Höggård","Jonathan Marshall","Dorthe Petersen","Isabella Rustignoli","Juan Soto","John P Bell","Deniz Tansey-Dwyer","Usmani OS"],"tags":["Carbon footprint","Inhaler","Greenhouse gas","Medicine","Offset (computer science)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03007995.2026.2628120","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7204470513","name":"The potential of syngas as a central mediator for a carbon-agnostic circular economy","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon is the foundation of life and industrial production, but the current use of fossil-based carbon in a linear economy leads to climate breakdown with global ecological consequences. To mitigate the effects of the climate catastrophe, transitioning from a fossil-based linear economy to a circular carbon economy requires scalable strategies that do not compete with arable land resources. Accordingly, processes for the utilization of waste streams from various sources including CO2 must be established to enable circularity. Here, we propose synthesis gas (syngas; CO, H2 and CO2) as a universal, homogenized hub feedstock that decouples upstream waste heterogeneity from downstream chemical and biotechnological manufacturing. We review established and emerging routes for syngas production from biogenic and fossil-derived wastes and discuss their integration with thermocatalytic upgrading and biological gas fermentation. Advances in aerobic and anaerobic microbial assimilation and hybrid abiotic-biotic systems enable the selective conversion of syngas and syngas-derived intermediates such as methanol, acetate and ethanol into a broad spectrum of fuels, chemicals and materials. We argue that syngas-based value chains provide a flexible, carbon-agnostic platform for closing carbon loops across sectors and geographies. Realizing this vision will require (i) further quantitative exploration to identify optimal waste-to-product strategies; (ii) continued innovation in catalyst and bioprocess engineering, continuous operation concepts; and (iii) supportive policy frameworks that incentivize chemical recycling and gas-based carbon utilization as core pillars of the circular economy.

Selecting suitable storage sites requires balancing geological, technical, environmental, economic, and social criteria, while accounting for the distinct physical and chemical behaviors of each gas and the intended service (e.g., permanent sequestration vs. cyclic storage). This paper adopts a unified, gas-aware framework to synthesize site-selection criteria and decision-support methods for subsurface gas storage across the principal geological options: deep saline aquifers, depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, and salt caverns. The study examines decision-making approaches ranging from conventional multi-criteria decision-making and fuzzy extensions to Geographic Information System-based spatial analysis, reservoir simulation, and emerging machine-learning techniques for large-scale screening and uncertainty quantification and mitigation. Drawing on global case studies, it identifies methodological limitations, gas-specific knowledge gaps, and data challenges that constrain confident site selection, particularly for hydrogen storage in deep saline aquifers and depleted reservoirs, including reactivity and microbial consumption risks, purity and mixing constraints, and cushion-gas economics. Future directions emphasize the need for integrated, explainable, and adaptive decision frameworks tailored to gas-specific behaviors and storage contexts; expanded large-scale H2 demonstrations in saline aquifers and depleted reservoirs; tighter coupling of monitoring, modeling, and decision tools throughout the project lifecycle; and regulatory frameworks that clarify long-term liability and strengthen public engagement and trust.

This Focus Issue on valvular, diabetic, and metabolic disorders and hypertension contains the Clinical Research article ‘Severe aortic stenosis: secular trends of incidence and outcomes’ by Giovanni Benfari from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, USA.1 The authors note that severe aortic stenosis (AS) is the guideline-based indication for aortic valve replacement (AVR), which has markedly increased with transcatheter approaches.2–11 Reported secular trends of AS incidence remain contradictory and lack quantitative Doppler echocardiographic ascertainment. All adult residents in Olmsted County (MN, USA) diagnosed over 20 years (1997–2016) with incident severe AS (first diagnosis) based on quantitatively defined measures (aortic valve area ≤1 cm2, aortic valve area index ≤0.6 cm2/m2, mean gradient ≥40 mmHg, peak velocity ≥4 m/s, Doppler velocity index ≤0.25) were counted to define trends in incidence, presentation, treatment, and outcome. Incident severe AS was diagnosed in 1069 community residents. The incidence rate was 52 per 100 000 patient-years, slightly higher in males vs. females, and was almost unchanged after age and sex adjustment for the US population, 53 per 100 000 residents/year. Over 20 years, severe AS incidence remained stable (P = .2) but the absolute burden of incident cases markedly increased (P = .0004) due to population growth. Incidence trend differed by sex, being stable in men (incidence rate ratio 0.99, P = .7) but declining in women (incidence rate ratio 0.93, P = .02). Over the study period, AS clinical characteristics remained remarkably stable and AVR performance grew and was more prompt, but undertreatment remained prominent (>40%). Early AVR was associated with survival benefit [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.55, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.42–0.71, P < .0001]. Despite these improvements, overall mortality (3-month 8% and 3-year 36%) was swift, considerable, and unabated (all P ≥ .4) throughout the study. Benfari et al. conclude that over 20 years, the population incidence of severe AS remains stable with increased absolute case burden related to population growth. Despite stable severe AS presentation, AVR performance has grown notably; however, while declining, undertreatment remains substantial and disease lethality has not yet declined. These population-based findings have important implications for improving AS management pathways. The contribution is accompanied by an Editorial by Andreas Martinsson and Anders Jeppsson from Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Ravi Rasalingam from Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA,12 in which they congratulate the authors for their thorough evaluation of AS incidence and management. Their work highlights remaining clinical uncertainties. These include whether it is possible to prevent disease progression with risk factor modification, how to best determine prognosis after AVR, and whether early intervention in asymptomatic severe AS would result in reduced mortality. This study also serves as a timely reminder that the excellent results after AVR in clinical studies have not yet translated into the real-world setting and underline the importance of continued efforts to achieve greater access to interventional treatment for a larger proportion of the AS population.

This study aimed to characterize the clinico-radiological spectrum of concomitant pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and bacterial pneumonia in patients with fungal culture-positive bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from a high-burden TB setting in northern India. Methods: We conducted a five-year retrospective observational study of 193 patients with fungal culture-positive BAL samples obtained between January 2021 and January 2026 at Sharda Hospital, Greater Noida, India. Samples were evaluated using Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) smear microscopy, GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay (Cepheid, Sunnyvale, CA, USA), bacterial culture with VITEK® 2 Compact automated identification (bioMérieux, Marcy-l'Étoile, France), and HighResolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) of the chest. Results: The median age was 58 years (range 55–60) with a male-to-female ratio of 1.8:1. Radiological data were available for 99 patients (51.3%). Concomitant bacterial co-infection was present in 43 cases (22.3%) and concomitant PTB co-infection—defined as ZN smear and/or GeneXpert positivity—in 51 cases (26.4%). Candida species predominated (71%), followed by Aspergillus species (14%). Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most common bacterial copathogen (15/43; 34.9%). Cavitary lesions were the most frequent radiological finding across all groups (58.8%, 39.1%, 44.0%). Bronchiectasis was significantly associated with isolated fungal infection (15.7% vs 4.3% and 4.0%; p=0.02). Diabetes mellitus was a significant risk factor for isolated fungal infection (p=0.016). Mixed fungal infections were identified in 16.3% of bacterial and 11.8% of TB co-infection cases. Conclusions: Substantial radiological overlap among fungal, mycobacterial, and bacterial pneumonias precludes definitive etiological diagnosis by imaging alone. Bronchiectasis and diabetes mellitus emerged as significant independent markers. Comprehensive BAL-based microbiological workup combining fungal culture, bacterial culture, ZN smear, and GeneXpert testing is essential for accurate diagnosis in settings with high TB burden.","url":"https://doi.org/10.25258/ijddt.16.45s.102","authors":["Supriya Mahajan","Komal Kaushal","Lipika Gaur","Chimi Burathoki","Deepshika Dadwal","Ayesha Nazar","V.S.

With the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) scheduled for full implementation in 2026, China’s energy-intensive industries-particularly cement and aluminum-will face significant challenges under the dual pressure of domestic and international carbon-pricing mechanisms. This study examines the impacts of China’s Emissions Trading System (ETS) and the EU’s CBAM on the cement and aluminum sectors. Exploring this issue helps clarify how these mechanisms influence firms’ operating costs, competitiveness, and low-carbon transitions, while also offering policy and strategic responses to advance global green and low-carbon development. Since 2004, China has gradually built a comprehensive emissions-trading framework, evolving from its participation in the Clean Development Mechanism to regional pilot programs and ultimately to a unified national market. Existing research indicates that carbon markets can effectively reduce abatement costs through market mechanisms. However, the suitability of different allowance-allocation methods-such as historical emissions-based allocation and benchmark-based allocation-varies across industries like cement and aluminum, making industry-specific optimization essential. Meanwhile, the introduction of the EU’s CBAM provides new perspectives for global carbon governance but also affects China’s cement and aluminum industries in terms of export costs, market competitiveness, and pathways for industrial transformation. Confronted with dual domestic and international pressures, China’s cement and aluminum sectors must enhance their competitiveness through technological innovation, energy-structure optimization, and improved carbon data management, thereby transforming challenges into opportunities for upgrading and transition.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54254/2755-2721/2026.mh31176","authors":["Huang Wu"],"tags":["Dual (grammatical number)","Greenhouse gas","Cement","Business","China"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-12","doi":"https://doi.org/10.54254/2755-2721/2026.mh31176","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7163177837","name":"Functional and Psychosocial Outcomes in Adolescents with Marfan Syndrome: A Literature Review of Health-Related Quality of Life","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9861623/v1","authors":["Leo King"],"tags":["Psychosocial","Medicine","Quality of life (healthcare)","Systematic review","Cochrane Library"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9861623/v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W3009466958","name":"Nature and Disposition of the Garnet-Biotite Boundary at Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland","source":"openalex","abstract":"The metamorphic rocks at Balquhidder are polyphase deformed and polymetamorphosed with the D1 - D4 sequential development of structures and the M1 - M4 development of minerals generally corresponding to that expressed in nearby areas. Garnet is found throughout the area and the Barrovian garnet-isograd must have been at least 2Km above the present topography. There is no garnet-biotite boundary present. The incoming of garnet was controlled by the bulk rock composition so that garnetiferous and non-garnetiferous schists can occur in the same, or adjacent outcrops. Textural studies have shown that two phases of garnet growth occurred. The more prominent of these was during M2 when three different types were formed (G2A, G2B, G2C), two only lithologies of the Pitlochry Schist (G2A, G2C) and the other (G2B) only in the Ben Lui Schist. Growth of garnet was related to particular mineral reactions, non-instantaneous nucleation and reaction partitioning. This has been substantiated by the determination, using the electron microprobe of chlorite, muscovite, garnet, biotite, albite and hornblende compositions. Garnet-biotite and garnet-hornblende pairs permit temperatures of M2 metamorphism to be determined: 530 C - 482 C for type G2A (almandine), 423 - 410 C for type G2B (almandine) and 370 C for type G2C (spessartine-rich). The 530 C estimate for G2A is considered to represent climactic conditions and, when considered with a pressure estimate of 7Kb based on the biotite-muscovite-chlorite-quartz geobarometer, indicates a typical Barrovian heat flow of c. 27 C/Km and mid-amphibolite-facies conditions. On the basis of regional correlation of structures, the M2 metamorphism (and D1 - D2) is related to the pre-590Ma Grampian Orogeny and was followed by elevation of temperature to its peak during crustal thickening during D1 (Tay Nappe formation). A second phase of garnet growth took place post-D2 - pre-D4 (possibly post-D2 - pre-D3). Temperature of development of G2-4 (?G2-3) was 377 C for a spessartine-rich type, i. e. in the green schist facies. The elevation of temperature is related to the c. 500Ma event demonstrated elsewhere in the Highlands on the basis of isotopic studies and during which crustal thickening is postulated. Previous interpretations of the presence of an inverted garnet isograd are not substantiated by this investigation. The structural development does not permit inversion of M2 or M2-4 geotherms by tectonic activity, while the distribution of garnet throughout the area does not permit the presence of any isograd to be demonstrated. Rather the whole area is within the garnet zone. Two of the previous interpretations, which suggest an inverted zonal distribution, recognized neither the composition - nucleation - reaction partitioning controls nor the polyphase development of garnet. One sets out a position for a \"garnet isograd\" that corresponds to the prominent development of G2A and G2C garnets in particular flat-lying units of the Pitlochry Schist. The other sets out a position for a \"garnet isograd\" that corresponds to the prominent development of G2B and G2-4 garnets in particular units of the Ben Lui Schist. These interpretations are rejected on the basis of the detailed evidence set out here. D4 and post-D4 mineralogical expressions only result in minor modifications to the earlier formed features. D4 is correlated with the regionally expressed c. 460Ma period of uplift and post-D4 mineral growth was both prograde and retrograde. The deformation and metamorphic history in the Balquhidder area generally corresponds to, and may be representative of, Caledonian activity in at least considerable parts of the SW Highlands.","url":"https://openalex.org/W3009466958","authors":["Sherif Fawzy"],"tags":["Schist","Biotite","Geology","Isograd","Muscovite"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"1989-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.657Z"},{"id":"oa:W7202295075","name":"Market segmentation and challenges among consumers of high-value bell pepper and tomato from protected production systems in Kano State, Nigeria","source":"openalex","abstract":"Consumer demand for high-value vegetables from Protected Production Systems (PPS) is expanding in Kano State, Nigeria; however, heterogeneity in consumer preferences remains underexplored.

The reverse water–gas shift (RWGS) reaction offers a direct route to convert CO 2 into CO, a versatile syngas component for Fischer–Tropsch, methanol synthesis, and other downstream processes, thereby supporting a circular carbon economy. RWGS is inherently challenging: it is endothermic and favored only at high temperatures (>600 °C), which promotes catalyst sintering and high energy demand, while at lower temperatures the competing Sabatier reaction dominates, producing CH 4 over Ni. Catalyst selection further complicates implementation: noble metals (Au, Pt, Rh) offer high CO selectivity but are costly, whereas base metals (Ni, Fe, Cu) are more abundant yet prone to methanation, sintering, or phase instability. Industrial deployment also demands resilience under water-rich environments, high space velocities, and thermal cycling associated with variable renewable H 2 supply. This Account presents our efforts to address these challenges through rational catalyst design guided by three central principles: electronic modulation via promoters to control adsorption and reaction pathways; active phase engineering to tune catalytic functionality and suppress undesired reactions, and structural and interfacial design to enhance stability and durability under realistic conditions. These principles are systematically explored using Ni- and Fe-based catalysts as model systems for scalable CO 2 valorization. Alkali-promoted Ni catalysts, particularly Cs-modified Ni/CeO 2, demonstrate how electronic tuning and metal–support interactions suppress methanation and enable CO-selective RWGS across a wide temperature range. Phase engineering further transforms Ni into phosphide intermetallic (Ni 2 P, Ni 12 P 5 ), introducing active sites that favor CO formation while minimizing hydrogenation pathways. Complementary strategies in Fe-based systems, including MOF-derived Fe/carbon composites and Fe–Cu bimetallics, highlight the role of metal–support and metal–metal interactions in stabilizing active phases and enhancing CO yields. To address deactivation, nanoscale architectural control, such as core–shell and yolk–shell structures, has been employed to mitigate sintering and carbon deposition. Beyond single-function catalysts, dual-function and switchable materials integrate CO 2 capture with catalytic conversion and enable dynamic operation across RWGS, methanation, and dry reforming, providing flexibility under variable process conditions. Mechanistic insights derived from operando spectroscopy reveal how surface defects, promoters, and support redox properties govern reaction pathways, including formate-mediated and redox mechanisms, thereby linking catalyst structure to function. Collectively, these studies demonstrate how integrating electronic, compositional, and structural design strategies can reconcile the competing demands of activity, selectivity, and stability in RWGS catalysis. By bridging mechanistic understanding with practical engineering considerations, this work advances RWGS from a fundamental reaction toward a scalable platform for CO 2 valorization. These insights provide a framework for the design of next-generation catalytic materials and highlight the broader potential of rational materials engineering in enabling sustainable carbon utilization technologies. Looking ahead, operando-guided discovery, AI-assisted materials design, and integration with renewable energy infrastructures will be critical to realizing its full potential.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/accountsmr.5c00275","authors":["Muhammad Asif Nawaz","J.A.

Forecast results for 2025–2030 indicated a sustained upward trend in concrete consumption, increasing from 39,278.52 m3 in 2026 to 99,430.53 m3 in 2030, with an average annual growth rate of 26.3% and a mean projected demand of 67,730.83 m3. Model evaluation metrics demonstrated high predictive accuracy, confirming the robustness of the proposed framework. The study contributes to the literature on construction demand forecasting by providing a context-specific, empirically validated model of concrete consumption in a developing economy. The findings offer actionable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and construction managers, underscoring the need to proactively scale local production capacity, strengthen supply-chain logistics, and promote sustainable material sourcing to support infrastructure development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings16040850","authors":["Stanley Owuotey Bonney","Song Jianxue","Murendeni Liphadzi","Kofi Owusu Adjei"],"tags":["Demand forecasting","Urbanization","Developing country","Robustness (evolution)","Environmental economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings16040850","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7203684654","name":"Industrial demonstration of low-carbon supplementary cementitious materials prepared via CO2-mineralization of steel slag","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background Addressing global climate change and achieving China's \"Dual Carbon\" goals represent pivotal historical imperatives for the current building materials industry.As major carbon emitters, the green and low-carbon transition of the cement and concrete sectors is increasingly urgent.Traditional carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies universally encounter application bottlenecks, such as prohibitive costs and limited sequestration pathways.Utilizing bulk industrial solid wastes, such as steel slag, to directly capture and mineralize CO 2 from industrial flue gas is regarded as a breakthrough strategy that simultaneously achieves low-cost carbon mitigation and the high-value utilization of solid waste.However, chronically constrained by \"bottleneck\" challenges-such as sluggish reaction efficiencies under low CO 2 concentrations and the volume instability of the solid wastes-this technology has largely remained confined to laboratoryscale mechanistic exploration.Consequently, large-scale, safe, and high-value industrial applications have been elusive.Bridging the gap between fundamental theory and engineering demonstration to realize the industrialization of carbon mineralization technology is the core prerequisite for truly unlocking the emission reduction potential of CCUS.Targeting this critical industrial pain point, our research team, led by Professor Liwu Mo at Nanjing Tech University, has a long-standing commitment to the industrial practice of low-carbon cement and concrete, solid waste valorization, and the lowcost capture and utilization of CO 2 .Centered on the core theme of \"CO 2 mineralization of industrial solid wastes and their large-scale application in building materials,\" the team has successfully established the complete industrial translation chain: from elucidating fundamental mechanisms and developing key catalytic technologies to the integration of industrial-grade equipment and processes.Compared with previous studies that mainly focused on laboratory-scale carbonation using high-purity CO 2 or simulated gas, this work","url":"https://doi.org/10.32604/zkg.2026.085511","authors":["Liwu Mo","Peng Liu","Jingkui Zhong","Shuo Yang","Maochun Xu"],"tags":["Metallurgy","Materials science","Cementitious","Slag (welding)","Cement"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.32604/zkg.2026.085511","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7129045601","name":"New quaternary composite LDH /bayerite/nitratine/carbon in the hybrid matrix bimetallic NiAl LDH /carbon for CO 2 capture","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract BACKGROUND Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is a leading greenhouse gas whose levels are perpetually rising.

Traditional valuation tools like Net Present Value (NPV) are increasingly being accepted as insufficient to capture the managerial flexibility needed to deal with this complex environment. As a result, a powerful alternative investment framework, Real Options Analysis (ROA), has been proposed, in which the possibility of strategic adaptability under uncertainty is valued explicitly for renewable energy investment. This paper reports a systematic review between 2000-2025 of research works on ROA application in the renewable energy sector. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) framework, 288 peer-reviewed studies were identified from twelve major academic databases (Scopus, IEEE Xplore, and Wiley Online Library). Each study was reviewed in terms of key dimensions: renewable technology type, real option category, modelling technique, dominant sources of uncertainty and geographical focus. The results show the dominance of the decision to defer (timing option) as the most important strategic flexibility for all technologies, emphasising the key problem of optimal investment timing. Methodologically, the field has transitioned from basic analytical models to complex simulation-based models, with binomial lattices and Monte Carlo models dominating the scene, followed by a significant move to hybrid, fuzzy, and AI-enhanced models after 2015. The analysis also reveals clear regional patterns in the types of uncertainties modelled with European studies focusing on market and policy risks, Asian studies on resource availability and work in the Americas taking into account technical risks. However, a serious underrepresentation in Africa, especially in Nigeria, is also revealed, which constitutes a major gap in the research. This review concludes that while the methodological foundations of ROA are well established, its practical application remains limited, particularly outside developed countries. Expanding the use of ROA could better support the global energy transition, but achieving this requires addressing barriers such as computational complexity, limited modeling expertise, and regulatory reliance on deterministic valuation methods. Greater integration of these flexible decision-making tools into policy design and project appraisal, especially in high-risk and underrepresented regions, is therefore necessary.","url":"https://doi.org/10.11648/j.ijamtp.20261201.11","authors":["Jethro Olorunfemi Idowu","I.

With the aging of the population and the increase of risk factors (such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity), the incidence and prevalence of IHD are still increasing. Although interventional therapy and surgery have achieved certain results, they still face challenges such as reperfusion injury and poor long-term prognosis. In recent years, nanomedicine has shown significant potential for restoring energy supply and breaking the vicious cycle of oxidative stress by virtue of its precise targeting and regulation ability, especially in mitochondrial targeted intervention. Through strategies such as specific ligand recognition, pathological microenvironment responsive drug release, and biomimetic modification, functionalized nanosystems can accurately deliver therapeutic drugs to diseased mitochondria, thereby effectively interfering with the progress of IHD. However, the existing research has not systematically reviewed and discussed the therapeutic strategies and molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial targeted drugs, which is difficult to meet the urgent needs of scientific research and clinical practice.

Betonin aseman maailman käytetyimpänä rakennus-materiaalina mahdollistavat sen lujuusominaisuudet, kestävyys, turvallisuus, edullisuus, yksinkertainen valmistusteknologia sekä raaka-aineiden hyvä saatavuus. Näiden ominaisuuksien ansiosta betoni soveltuu monenlaisiin käyttökohteisiin. Tässä kandidaatintyössä tarkastellaan betonin raaka-aineista aiheutuvia hiilidioksidipäästöjä, päästöjen arviointitapoja sekä lasketaan Tampereen yliopiston toteuttamalle ”Vähähiilisten betonien säilyvyysmitoitus” -tutkimuksen betoneille vähähiilisyysluokat Suomen Betoniyhdistys ry:n kehittämällä vähähiilisyyslaskurilla. Sementin valmistus kattaa suurimman osan betonin hiilidioksidipäästöistä. Valmistusprosessissa vapautuu noin 600 kg hiilidioksidia yhtä klinkkeritonnia kohti. Suomessa sementtiteollisuus tuottaa noin 2 % maan hiilidioksidipäästöistä. Tehokkaimmat keinot betoniteollisuuden päästöjen vähentämiseksi ovatkin sementin korvaaminen seosaineilla, fossiilisten polttoaineiden korvaaminen kierrätyspolttoaineilla sekä hiilidioksidin talteenottomenetelmät. Betonialalla hiilidioksidipäästöjen vähentäminen nähdään tärkeänä asiana, ja usea betonialan yritys onkin asettanut tavoitteita vähähiilisyyden edistämiseksi. Vuodesta 2026 alkaen uudisrakennuksille tullaan vaatimaan ilmastoselvityksen tekoa, minkä lisäksi uudisrakennuksille tullaan asettamaan hiilikatto¬. Suomen Betoniyhdistys ry on kehittänyt vapaaehtoisen BY-vähähiilisyysluokituksen ja sen käyttöä varten vähähiilisyyslaskurin. Luokituksen tavoitteena on luoda rakennusalalle yhtenäinen tapa kuvata vähähiilisiä betonilaatuja. Tässä kandidaatintyössä tehtyjen vähähiilisyyslaskentojen tuloksista huomattiin, että masuunikuonasementeillä voidaan saavuttaa jopa 50 % alhaisemmat hiilidioksidipäästöt portlandsementtiin verrattuna. Hiilidioksidipäästöjen suuruuteen vaikuttavat käytetyn sideaineen lisäksi sen määrä sekä raaka-aineiden kuljetusmatkat. Vähähiilisten betonilaatujen käyttöön liittyy kuitenkin haasteita, sillä seosaineiden käyttö sideaineissa saattaa hidastaa betonin lujuudenkehitystä sekä vaikuttaa betonin kestävyysominaisuuksiin.

BACKGROUND: Electrocardiogram interpretation is a core clinical competence for nurses and is essential for recognising and managing cardiac abnormalities. Despite its importance, evidence consistently demonstrates suboptimal electrocardiogram interpretation competence among nurses, alongside variability in education and training provision. DESIGN: Systematic review. METHODS: MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL, Embase and Scopus were searched from inception to 2 March 2025, with an updated search on 15 April 2026, supplemented by grey literature searching. Study selection, data extraction and quality appraisal using Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools were conducted independently by two reviewers. Due to heterogeneity in study design, interventions and outcome measures, a narrative synthesis was conducted. RESULTS: Twenty-three studies met the inclusion criteria, including randomised controlled trials and pre-post quasi-experimental studies conducted across diverse clinical settings and countries. Educational interventions were associated with improvements in nurses' electrocardiogram competence. Interventions were synthesised into five themes: traditional and structured education; technology-enhanced learning; micro-learning approaches; blended and learner-centred models; and sustainability and reinforcement of learning over time. Interventions incorporating active learner engagement, structured practice and reinforcement appeared more likely to support meaningful learning gains. Evidence of learning attenuation over time was reported. CONCLUSIONS: Educational interventions can improve electrocardiogram interpretation competence among nurses; however, electrocardiogram interpretation represents a complex clinical competency requiring ongoing development rather than one-off training. Spaced learning and reinforcement-based educational approaches may better support sustained competence.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nepr.2026.104856","authors":["Emily Boyd","Micheál Lynch","V.

METHODS: A structured search of clinicaltrials.gov and the World Health Organization (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) was completed on July 07 2026.

Cardiovascular evidence was strong for chronic coronary artery disease and prevention after myocardial infarction. Findings in acute coronary syndromes, percutaneous coronary intervention, surgery and heart failure were mixed and often limited to surrogate endpoints. Other indications did not observe a significant benefit. Most frequent adverse effects were gastrointestinal, particularly diarrhoea. Increased non-cardiovascular mortality in individual trials highlights toxicity potential. CONCLUSION: Current evidence most consistently supports colchicine for secondary cardiovascular prevention in established coronary disease. No reliable evidence is found for benefit across broader cardiovascular conditions, COVID-19 or other indications.

Three technological trajectories of green steel production are investigated: scrap-based electric arc furnaces (Scrap-EAF), hydrogen-based direct reduced iron with electric arc furnaces (H₂-DRI-EAF), and hybrid solutions using natural gas (NG-DRI-EAF). A comparative analysis of the economic efficiency of investments in low-carbon technologies is conducted, accounting for critical operational shocks: energy crisis (electricity costs up to €250/MWh), coking coal deficit, and war risk premium (300-500 basis points). It is established that EAF technology provides 91-97% reduction in CO₂ emissions with capital expenditure of $140-200 million per 1 million tons of capacity, but critically depends on access to low-carbon electricity and high-quality scrap. Hybrid NG-DRI-EAF technology is identified as the optimal transitional solution, providing 35-45% emissions reduction with strategic flexibility for gradual hydrogen transition (blending 10-100%). H₂-DRI technology requires reduction of green hydrogen cost below $2/kg for commercial viability at current prices of $4-10/kg. It is proven that the CBAM mechanism creates critical pressure with potential losses of $4.7 billion in 2026-2030, while opening opportunities to attract €36-59 billion in investments. The critical role of derisking mechanisms (Carbon Contracts for Difference, Ukraine Investment Framework) for reducing war risk premium and attracting international capital is substantiated. A three-phase strategy is defined with accelerated implementation of NG-DRI-EAF as backbone for ensuring high-quality primary feedstock and integration with nuclear energy for competitive green hydrogen production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.32434/2415-3974-2025-22-2-176-186","authors":["Dmytro Donets"],"tags":["Investment (military)","Coal","Electricity","Flexibility (engineering)","Context (archaeology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.32434/2415-3974-2025-22-2-176-186","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7160552607","name":"Dynamic Water-Energy-Carbon Trade-Off Optimization for Heavy Industry Decarbonization via Deep Reinforcement Learning: A UK Case Study","source":"openalex","abstract":"In recent years, the industrial decarbonization in the cement sector has introduced secondary environmental impact due to an increase in power and water demand. Deploying carbon capture, utilization, and distributed storage requires an uninterrupted supply of power and water to achieve net-zero targets. However, the traditional static optimization algorithms seem insufficient in addressing the high-frequency and dynamic renewable networks. To overcome these issues, this work develops a dynamic water-energy-carbon trade-off optimization model for industrial decarbonization, with the deployment of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage system in the cement sector within a United Kingdom industrial cluster. The key objective is to quantify and control the secondary burden that low-carbon interventions can impose on electricity systems and local water resources. Firstly, the Water-Energy-Carbon problem is treated as a tri-lemma, which is formulated as a continuous Markov Decision Process. Then the optimization problem is solved via a Soft Actor-Critic Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithm under coupled and resource-constrained abstraction inputs. This work further introduces the Water-Carbon Mitigation Penalty Index as a diagnostic metric for measuring the marginal increase in water burden associated with carbon mitigation. The results show that unmanaged distributed carbon-mitigation pathways increase local hydrological stress by 2.15–5.17% relative to baseline operating conditions. Although the proposed algorithm successfully reduces the nexus cost by up to 70.5% and achieves 13.83% carbon reduction by shifting from freshwater abstraction to reclaimed municipal wastewater and by coordinating operation with low-carbon hydropower availability. These results show that dynamic AI-based scheduling can support net-zero transitions while reducing pressure on regional hydro-ecological systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/w18091112","authors":["M.

Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar em que medida a atuação multiprofissional contribui para a integralidade do cuidado a essa população. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, realizada nos meses de março e abril de 2026, a partir de buscas nas bases de dados LILACS, SciELO e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, utilizando descritores relacionados à demência, atenção primária à saúde, equipe multiprofissional e idoso. Foram incluídos onze estudos primários publicados entre 2020 e 2025, disponíveis na íntegra. Os resultados evidenciaram que a atuação multiprofissional contribui para a ampliação do cuidado, especialmente por meio da integração de saberes, da adoção de estratégias não farmacológicas e do suporte aos cuidadores. No entanto, foram identificadas fragilidades relacionadas à fragmentação das práticas, à insuficiência de capacitação profissional e à baixa articulação entre os serviços de saúde. Conclui-se que, embora a atuação multiprofissional apresente potencial significativo para a promoção da integralidade, sua efetivação ainda depende de investimentos na formação dos profissionais, no fortalecimento da Atenção Primária à Saúde e na reorganização das redes de cuidado.","url":"https://doi.org/10.63330/livroautoral602026-004","authors":["Cleiton Charles da Silva","Simone Cartacho Macedo Macambira","Roseane Araújo Costa Ferreira","Regina Célia Gonçalves de Andrade"],"tags":["Humanities","Medicine","Context (archaeology)","Philosophy","Gerontology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.63330/livroautoral602026-004","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7164483016","name":"Continuous electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to ethanol with high selectivity using advanced MOF-based electrodes","source":"openalex","abstract":"The current climate emergency has intensified interest in technologies aimed at mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Among these, CO 2 capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS) technologies are gaining increasing importance.

Cu-MOF-74, Cu-BTC MOF, Mg-MOF-74, and Ni-MOF-74 were evaluated as cathodic catalysts for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 using 0.5 M KHCO 3 as the electrolyte. Ni-MOF-74 showed the best performance toward CH 3 OH, achieving a Faradaic Efficiency (FE) of 15.31% at −1.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl and an Energy Consumption (EC) of 2.35·10 3 kWh·kmol −1 . C 2 H 5 OH was also obtained simultaneously, reaching a FE of 31.12% and an EC of 4.63·10 3 kWh·kmol −1 at −1.3 V vs. Ag/AgCl. Subsequent experiments evaluated system efficiency by coupling these MOFs with a non-precious metal-based anode, a Ni Fe foam. Mg-MOF-74 and Ni-MOF-74 were used in paired experiments, as they showed higher activity than the Cu-based MOFs toward alcohol production. The highest CH 3 OH FE (9.77%) was achieved using Ni-MOF-74 at −1.3 V, reaching a promising FE of 84.55% and an EC of 512.91 kWh·kmol −1 . Although overall EC decreased in the full-cell configuration, a shift in selectivity from CH 3 OH to C 2 H 5 OH was observed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seppur.2026.138881","authors":["José Antonio Abarca","Andrea Domingo-Revilla","Mariana Ferreira","Duarte Borralho","Paulo N.

Green finance assumes a pivotal role in mobilising the capital required to underwrite substantial infrastructural modifications to reach climate commitments. Allocation of proceeds is guided by frameworks which influence the criteria for what constitutes ‘best practice’ in financing low-carbon transitions. The concept of what can be perceived as ‘green’ is influenced by the creation and management of these frameworks. Findings indicate that certain principles lay the basis for finance frameworks representing public and corporate green expenditures. These principles pave the way for the financing of projects such as carbon capture enabled gas-fired power stations and energy-from-waste facilities under the premise of ‘pollution prevention and control’. Such facilities can draw criticism of being non-transformative tools of climate mitigation as they perpetuate forms of lock-in via either consistent levels of waste or continued fossil-gas extraction and are thus lower on the mitigation hierarchy than facilities or policy implementation that deliver deeper emissions reductions. We shed light on how financing frameworks are influencing the boundaries of what is deemed eligible for investment and consequently affecting what is considered ‘green’ from a market perspective. We recommend a green finance system capable of delivering deeper mitigation by strengthening eligibility and exclusion criteria to ensure prioritised projects deliver absolute rather than intensity-based emissions reductions; embedding independent second-party verification across all stages of capital raising and expenditure; and aligning KPIs with verifiable lifecycle emissions benchmarks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fclim.2026.1836939","authors":["Guy Finkill","Clair Gough","Sarah Mander","Christopher Jones"],"tags":["Finance","Investment (military)","Climate Finance","Business","Premise"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fclim.2026.1836939","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7134877129","name":"Análisis, modelado y simulación de un sistema de captura de CO2 a través de membranas de fibras huecas para aplicaciones en la industria textil","source":"openalex","abstract":"Ante la emergencia climática actual, ha aumentado el interés por tecnologías dirigidas a reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, como el CO₂, destacando la estrategia de captura, almacenamiento y utilización (CCUS) por su potencial para separar y valorizar este gas. Este Trabajo Fin de Máster se enmarca en el proyecto VALCO₂-T, desarrollado por el grupo de investigación DePRO del Departamento de Ingenierías Química y Biomolecular de la Universidad de Cantabria, en colaboración con Apria Systems S.L. y Textil Santanderina S.A., orientado a capturar y acondicionar CO₂ de gases de combustión procedentes de la industria textil para su conversión a ácido fórmico, requiriéndose una concentración mínima del 70% v/v de CO₂ antes de la transformación electroquímica. En este contexto, el presente Trabajo Fin de Máster aborda la puesta a punto y operación de un sistema de separación mediante membranas poliméricas de fibra hueca de silicona, junto con el desarrollo de un modelo matemático predictivo orientado al dimensionamiento y escalado. El estudio se realizó con dos módulos comerciales PermSelect PDMSXA-7500 en paralelo y el modelo se implementó en Aspen Custom Modeler y se validó reproduciendo en simulación las mismas condiciones de cada ensayo experimental. Para ello, se introdujeron como datos de entrada el caudal y la composición de alimentación medidos, las presiones de operación, el área efectiva de membrana y los parámetros del material (permeancia y selectividad CO₂/N₂). Los ensayos se realizaron con mezclas representativas y con gases reales de caldera de Textil Santanderina S.A., con fracciones de entrada en el rango 7,3–10,3 % v/v de CO₂. Se confirmó la capacidad de enriquecimiento en una sola etapa, alcanzándose concentraciones máximas en permeado de ≈18,5 % v/v y eficiencias de captura entre un 114 y un 200 %, observándose que el aumento del caudal de alimentación y de la presión desde el retenido incrementa la fuerza impulsora y favorece la separación. Posteriormente, el sistema se trasladó a demostración en planta, donde los ensayos se realizaron de forma estable y reproducible. No obstante, el enriquecimiento en una sola etapa no permite cumplir el requisito de concentración mínima del proyecto VALCO₂-T, evidenciando la necesidad de intensificar el proceso. Además, se desarrolló e implementó en Aspen Custom Modeler un modelo basado en el mecanismo de solución-difusión, validado mediante la comparación entre predicciones y datos experimentales de concentración en permeado, obteniéndose un ajuste elevado (confianza global del 97,86 %). Finalmente, el modelo se empleó como herramienta de dimensionamiento: la concentración objetivo podría alcanzarse con tres módulos en serie, ya que el permeado de cada etapa se utiliza como alimentación de la siguiente, produciéndose un enriquecimiento progresivo de la corriente y permitiendo así alcanzar el requisito de concentración mínima establecido en el proyecto. En este sentido, el modelado permite cuantificar estas necesidades y orientar el diseño hacia configuraciones multietapa más eficientes y/o su integración con tecnologías complementarias, como un pretratamiento (desoxigenación para reducir O₂ y secado) y una etapa previa de adsorción (PSA/VSA con zeolita 13X o carbón activado) para acondicionar y preconcentrar el CO₂, reduciendo el número total de módulos.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7134877129","authors":["María Fernández García"],"tags":["Humanities","Physics","Philosophy","Art","Fuel cells"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-27","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7142211354","name":"Transitioning to Adaptive Ecosystems: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Sustainable Environmental Management and Pollution Control","source":"openalex","abstract":"The escalating threat of global environmental emergencies—driven by extreme climate volatility and the rapid depletion of biodiversity—forces a critical departure from rigid conservation models toward highly responsive, adaptive ecosystem governance. While artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly accelerates this operational shift by providing exceptionally advanced tools for sustainability, the functional deployment of these systems simultaneously generates deeply complicated ecological trade-offs. This scoping review systematically examines the contradictory environmental impacts inherent to AI-directed ecological management to properly contextualize this tension. We weigh the immediate operational advantages of algorithmic systems directly against their total life-cycle environmental toll, synthesizing broad interdisciplinary literature published between 2018 and 2026 while maintaining strict compliance with PRISMA reporting standards. The active integration of AI networks with Internet of Things (IoT) sensor arrays—according to our evaluation—makes continuous, real-time environmental surveillance and highly predictive biodiversity tracking functionally possible. Sophisticated machine learning algorithms refine Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) to yield highly precise carbon footprint calculations; meanwhile, the deployment of physics-informed edge computing actively supports autonomous, decentralized pollution control. These mitigation advantages, however, are severely offset by the vast computational energy required to train such models, alongside the intensive extraction of regional water resources and the exponential generation of electronic waste. This analysis determines that deploying algorithms without strict regulation carries the severe risk of entrenching techno-solutionism, thereby worsening an already severe carbon paradox. Ensuring these digital technologies actively support ecologically grounded environmental stewardship requires the immediate implementation of globally standardized computational carbon accounting protocols, alongside stringent corporate oversight, to unlock genuine sustainability yields.","url":"https://doi.org/10.53797/jthkkss.v7i1.1.2026","authors":["Hongzhi Lu","Hongxue Lu"],"tags":["Software deployment","Sustainability","Computer science","Risk analysis (engineering)","Environmental pollution"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.53797/jthkkss.v7i1.1.2026","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7165526749","name":"АНАЛИЗ ПРАКТИКИ ИННОВАЦИОННОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ РОССИЙСКИХ НЕФТЯНЫХ КОМПАНИЙ В СФЕРЕ ДЕКАРБОНИЗАЦИИ","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.14451/1.255.178","authors":[],"tags":["Process (computing)","Identification (biology)","Computer science","Product (mathematics)","Work (physics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.14451/1.255.178","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7134068650","name":"HPV and associated cancers: Time to act","source":"openalex","abstract":"Based on a thorough examination of typographical ornaments, as well as the history of careers and relationships between the various protagonists, this study attempts to identify the printer of the first edition of Diderot’s Pensées philosophiques.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1684/vir.2026.1129","authors":["Valentine Marie Ferré","Charlotte Charpentier"],"tags":["Medicine","Human papillomavirus","MEDLINE","Internal medicine","Family medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1684/vir.2026.1129","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7166445992","name":"Students Perception Toward Cross Culture Understanding Thorouh Digital Literacy on Students English Department Universitas HKBP Nommensen Pematang Siantar","source":"openalex","abstract":"This research aims at strengthening students’ character in Cross Culture Understanding thorough digital literacy at the fifth semester of Universitas HKBP Nommensen Pematangsiantar.

The research employs an econometric framework incorporating LNG exports (X), domestic natural gas production (PL gaz), and GDP growth rate a sin dependent variables, while carbon dioxide emissions (CO₂ E) serve as the dependent variable re presenting environmental quality. The analysis applies the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL)bounds testing approach and cointegration techniques to explore the short- and long-run dynamics among the variables. The empirical findings indicate that U.S. LNG exports have experienced substantial growth over the last decade, reaching approximately 88.3 million tons in 2024, with projections suggesting further expansion to around 16.4 billion cubic feet per day by 2026. This upward trend has been driven by technological advancements, large-scale infrastructure investments, and growing global demand, particularly from European and Asian markets. Nevertheless, this expansion has also introduced environmental challenges and regulatory pressures, underscoring the urgent need for balanced policies that promote sectoral sustainability while mitigating adverse climate impacts. The econometric results further demonstrate that, in the long run, the expansion of LNG exports has a significant and positive effect on carbon dioxide emissions in the United States. Additionally, per capita GDP growth emerges as a key factor contributing to higher carbon emissions, alongside a strong positive long-term association between CO₂ emissions and domestic natural gas production. These results highlight the necessity of integrating environmental sustainability into future strategies for the continued development of the U.S. LNG export sector.","url":"https://doi.org/10.52152/a0g1b871","authors":["Benazza Hicham","Cadi Mohammed","Boumedini Mohamed Amine"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Sustainability","Economics","Liquefied natural gas","Cointegration"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.52152/a0g1b871","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7165253886","name":"ВНЕДРЕНИЕ ЗЕЛЕНЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ В ТОПЛИВНО-ЭНЕРГЕТИЧЕСКИЙ КОМПЛЕКС","source":"openalex","abstract":"В статье рассмотрены вопросы внедрения зеленых технологий в топливно-энергетическом комплексе, изучена классификация зеленых технологий, учтена специфика различных подотраслей.

Its assets are fiscally and territorially linked primarily to Maranhao -- the state with the lowest HDI in the Federation (0.676, IBGE 2022). This raises the central policy question: under what conditions does BEM exploration generate net positive externalities for Maranhao? The problem is intrinsically multi-agent: the Federal Government seeks revenue and energy security; the state seeks regional welfare under constitutional royalty earmarking; the operator maximizes profit under risk; ANP and IBAMA hold conflicting mandates; and Amazonian communities prioritize territorial and environmental vectors over monetary income. We present Margin Play, a Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) system simulating these tensions under Brazilian empirical calibration and classical economic literature. It implements six agents under the CTDE paradigm, trained with BRO-MARL. Results from 60,000 episodes across six scenarios indicate the answer is conditional on the institutional regime: under the reference baseline, the welfare gain is marginal (Waval approx. 1.68), whereas the MA-Prospero configuration yields Delta W = +17.5% and Delta Rcom = +21.3%, with a lower environmental liability (Eamb = 0.048 vs. 0.076).

Although nursing interventions play a critical role in addressing these challenges, existing evidence remains fragmented across different intervention approaches. Objective: This systematic review aimed to identify, categorize, and evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions in supporting psychological recovery among ICU patients and their families. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Five electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, EBSCOhost, SpringerLink, and Taylor & Francis, were searched on 5 March 2026. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were eligible for inclusion, as this design provides the highest level of evidence for evaluating intervention effectiveness and minimizes confounding bias. Eligible studies involved adult ICU patients and/or their family members receiving nursing-led or nursing-involved interventions targeting psychological outcomes. Data were synthesized narratively due to substantial clinical and methodological heterogeneity across interventions, populations, and outcome measures. Results: A total of 18 RCTs were included. Interventions were categorized into four domains: psychosocial, rehabilitation and follow-up, technology-based, and family-based interventions. Psychosocial interventions demonstrated effectiveness in reducing anxiety, although results for depression and PTSD were inconsistent. Rehabilitation and follow-up interventions improved physical and functional outcomes but showed limited effects on psychological recovery. Technology-based interventions, particularly virtual reality, showed promising but variable results depending on their integration with therapeutic support. Family-based interventions appeared promising in improving psychological outcomes across patients and caregivers, though this finding is based on a limited number of studies and warrants further investigation. A significant gap was identified in the pre-ICU phase, with very limited evidence on preventive interventions. Conclusion: Nursing interventions have the potential to support psychological recovery in ICU populations, particularly when delivered as multicomponent, family-centered, and continuous care. However, current evidence remains limited by methodological heterogeneity, risk of bias, inconsistent outcomes, and the predominance of studies from high-income settings, which limits generalizability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2147/jmdh.s612598","authors":["Titin Sutini","Etika Emaliyawati","Firman Sugiharto","Khatijah Lim Abdullah"],"tags":["Intensive care","Medicine","Nursing","Narrative","Intervention (counseling)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2147/jmdh.s612598","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W4393362116","name":"ENEOS Group's CCS Initiatives in Japan","source":"openalex","abstract":"One of the ENEOS Group’s envisioned goals stated in Long-Term Vision to 2040 is contributing to the achievement of a low-carbon, recycling-oriented society.

A key opportunity lies in integrating these systems with existing bio-based infrastructures such as anaerobic digesters, providing a reliable source of biogenic carbon. Developing effective Power-to-Methanol (PtM) pathways requires a comprehensive understanding of process behavior through detailed simulation, including technical performance, economic feasibility, and environmental consequences. Despite growing interest, substantial variation remains in published levelized methanol costs, and many assessments insufficiently account for the full environmental footprint of production routes. This study evaluates the potential of PtM deployment in the Netherlands by comparing two pathways that utilize biogenic carbon sources: (i) hydrogenation of captured CO2 using green hydrogen and (ii) dry methane reforming (DMR) of biogas, followed by catalytic syngas conversion to methanol. Results indicate that operational expenses—mainly driven by renewable electricity consumption—far outweigh capital investment. Both routes yield an LCoMeOH of approximately €2630 per tonne, about five times the cost of fossil-based methanol. Life cycle analysis shows that DMR performs more favorably overall, although elevated freshwater ecotoxicity and eutrophication result from digestate application as fertilizer.

Understanding these relationships is important for supporting nurse retention and stable, safe intensive care practice. AIM: To assess professional nursing values, perceived work environment, and job satisfaction among critical care nurses in Palestine. METHODS: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 263 nurses working in critical care units across 15 hospitals in the West Bank, using a convenience sampling approach, with a response rate of 87.7%. Job satisfaction was treated as the primary dependent variable. Descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression, and mediation analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0. RESULTS: Nurses reported strong professional values (116.25 ± 9.55), moderate perceptions of the work environment (2.42 ± 0.30) and moderate job satisfaction (89.17 ± 10.57). Work environment was the strongest predictor of job satisfaction (β = 0.576, p < 0.001), while workload (β = -0.166, p = 0.021) and intention to leave (β = -0.163, p < 0.001) were negative predictors; the model explained 47.4% of variance. Mediation analyses indicated significant indirect association between professional values and job satisfaction through work environment (B = 0.152), between the work environment and intention to leave through job satisfaction (B = -0.533), and between workload and intention to leave through job satisfaction (B = 0.082; All p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Professional values were indirectly associated with job satisfaction through the perceived work environment. However, workload and intention to leave were associated with lower satisfaction. These findings highlight the need for adequately staffed, collaborative, well-resourced critical care environments, including workload monitoring, shared decision-making, supportive leadership and nurse recognition systems. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Nurse Managers should monitor workload, ensure adequate nurse-patient ratios, involve nurses in unit-level decisions, provide recognition and strengthen interprofessional collaboration in critical care units.

It aims to provide an integrated understanding of CCS as not only a technological mitigation option but also a socio-technical, organisational, and governance issue. A comprehensive review approach was adopted to synthesize relevant literature from major academic databases and institutional sources. The selected studies were screened and organised thematically around key areas, including conceptual foundations, stakeholder perceptions, adoption drivers and barriers, implementation constraints, and long-term sustainability relevance. The review shows that CCS occupies a complex position in climate mitigation and industrial decarbonization. Stakeholder acceptance is shaped by trust, risk perception, legitimacy, and communication, while corporate adoption depends on policy support, economic incentives, technological readiness, and organisational capabilities. Implementation remains constrained by technical, financial, regulatory, legal, and coordination barriers. At the same time, CCS presents important opportunities for hard-to-abate sectors and net-zero transitions, although concerns remain regarding cost, overreliance, public acceptance, and delayed structural change. The findings suggest that the future of CCS depends on its integration into broader sustainability transitions supported by credible governance, viable business models, and inclusive stakeholder engagement. CCS should therefore be understood as one component of a wider low-carbon transformation rather than a stand-alone climate solution.","url":"https://doi.org/10.13189/eer.2026.140415","authors":["Vijendran A/L Muniandy","Tan Seng Teck","Toong Hai Sam","Eu Hui Soon","Jason See Toh","Pradeep Sonar","Syed Muhammad Fahim"],"tags":["Stakeholder","Sustainability","Business","Corporate governance","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.13189/eer.2026.140415","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7160775716","name":"Delphi Validation of a Pain Management E-Learning Module for Critical Care Nurses in Saudi Arabia","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background: Critical care nurses play a central role in pain management; however, persistent knowledge and competency gaps continue to affect patient outcomes globally, including in Saudi Arabia. Despite the growing adoption of e-learning in nursing education, no context-specific, expert-validated module exists for critical care pain management in this context.Purpose: This study aimed to develop and content-validate a context-specific e-learning module on pain management to enhance critical-care nurses’ competency in a regional health cluster in Saudi Arabia.Methods: A three-round modified Delphi technique was employed. An initial needs assessment was conducted through a literature review and expert focus group input. It was then refined over three rounds with a panel of five multidisciplinary critical care specialists with 7 to 23 years of experience. Experts rated content relevance on a four-point scale. Content validity was assessed using the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and the Content Validity Index (CVI), with retention thresholds set at CVR ≥ 0.99 and I-CVI ≥ 0.80.Results: The Delphi process achieved 100% of retention across all rounds. Of the 25 initial content items, 24 met the CVR and I-CVI cutoffs (CVR = 1.00, I-CVI = 1.00) and were retained. One item, “Non-pharmacological interventions” (CVR = 0.60), was excluded. The final curriculum comprised six modules totaling 2.5 hours, covering pain basics and assessment; clinical aspects of pain; pharmacological management; interdisciplinary practice; case-based application; and assessment of knowledge and skills. New items suggested by the experts and included in the final curriculum were risk stratification, complication monitoring, and documentation protocols. The final scale-level CVI was 1.00.Conclusion: This Delphi study produced an expert- and content-validated e-learning module on critical care pain management. Although strong content validity was established, the small panel size and single-region representation limit generalizability. Following pilot testing and outcome evaluation, this e-module could be used as an effective educational intervention to improve knowledge and potentially clinical practice related to pain management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.14710/nmjn.v16i1.81024","authors":["Abeer Mohammed F Almutairi","Faridah Mohd Said"],"tags":["Delphi method","Content validity","Documentation","Multidisciplinary approach","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.14710/nmjn.v16i1.81024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7118757545","name":"Trust-Aware CUEA Detection and Mitigation for Secure Spectrum Handoff in CRNs","source":"openalex","abstract":"Cognitive Radio (CR) is an intelligent wireless communication technology that improves spectrum efficiency by detecting and utilizing unused licensed frequency bands in real time.Traditional spectrum allocation follows a fixed, regulatory approach, which often results in large portions of the licensed spectrum remaining idle despite being reserved for specific users.These temporarily unused bands are known as spectrum holes or white spaces.CR solves this problem by allowing smart devices to sense spectrum availability and access idle bands in a dynamic and opportunistic manner, while ensuring that no harmful interference is caused to primary or licensed users.Selecting the most suitable spectrum band according to availability, access feasibility, and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements is a key factor in maintaining strong network performance.For primary and secondary users to cohabit peacefully in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs), spectrum assignment and handoff are crucial processes.However, the constantly changing and unpredictable nature of spectrum availability introduces multiple challenges, especially related to interference control, security threats, and diverse QoS needs across applications.Therefore, to keep networks stable, dependable spectrum management strategies are needed.In this study, we identify a security vulnerability called the Cognitive User Emulation Attack (CUEA), where attackers imitate legitimate cognitive users during spectrum handoff to gain unauthorized access.To defend against this, we propose a secure spectrum handoff strategy that includes a coordinating cognitive user tasked with continuously observing network user behavior.This coordinating user evaluates activity patterns, assigns trust scores, and differentiates between genuine and malicious users, reducing the risk of false authentication.MATLAB simulations validate the approach, showing improved attack detection accuracy, higher throughput, lower transmission delay, and better overall network reliability during spectrum handoff, making CRNs more secure and efficient.","url":"https://doi.org/10.56726/irjmets88379","authors":[],"tags":["Computer science","Computer network","Handover","Real-time computing","Key (lock)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.56726/irjmets88379","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7163567046","name":"Studi Komparatif antara Injeksi CO₂ Kontinu dan Huff & Puff untuk EOR pada Reservoir Karst","source":"openalex","abstract":"Mendukung Kontribusi yang Ditetapkan Secara Nasional (NDC) Indonesia serta Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (SDG 7: Energi Bersih dan Terjangkau; SDG 13: Penanganan Iklim), penelitian ini mengevaluasi dua strategi enhanced oil recovery (EOR) dengan CO₂ pada reservoir karst terrekahkan (UNISIM-III, Sektor 4).

politiques publiques de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES), ou politiques d'atténuation, ne sont aujourd'hui pas suffisantes pour respecter l'objectif de l'Accord de Paris qui vise à limiter le réchauffement sous 2°C, avec l'aspiration à renforcer les efforts pour le contenir à 1,5°C.Dans ce contexte, en parallèle des efforts de réduction des émissions de GES et des besoins d'adaptation au changement climatique, un ensemble de méthodes d'intervention directe à l'échelle planétaire sur le système climatique, regroupées sous l'expression de géo-ingénierie climatique, suscite un intérêt croissant, mais également des controverses dans un contexte de fortes incertitudes.Au sens large 1 , trois grandes familles d'approches sont distinguées : (i) les techniques visant à contrebalancer l'effet réchauffant des GES par une modification du rayonnement solaire (Solar Radiation Modification -SRM), (ii) les méthodes d'élimination et de stockage à long terme du dioxyde de carbone (CO 2 ) atmosphérique (Carbon Dioxide Removal -CDR) qui cherchent à réduire la concentration atmosphérique de ce GES et (iii) les technologies de captage, stockage et valorisation du carbone (Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage -CCUS) qui consistent à capter les émissions de CO 2 à la source, dans le but de les stocker durablement, ou de les réutiliser pour la fabrication de certains produits en remplacement de sources de combustibles fossiles.L'Académie des sciences a souhaité examiner avec rigueur les fondements scientifiques, les bénéfices potentiels, les limites et les risques de ces approches.Il apparaît que, à quelques exceptions près, aucune ne peut aujourd'hui être déployée à grande échelle sans faire peser des risques importants en raison d'incertitudes majeures sur le plan scientifique, environnemental et géopolitique.Les méthodes de SRM, bien que théoriquement efficaces pour ralentir le réchauffement, ne sont pas encore matures technologiquement et soulèvent des questions éthiques, politiques et sociales majeures.Les effets régionaux et globaux de ces techniques sur le cycle hydrologique et la chimie de l'atmosphère restent très mal connus.Les incertitudes sur les délais de mise en œuvre et la perspective d'un déploiement multiséculaire constituent une préoccupation majeure.Surtout, le risque d'une interruption soudaine du SRM, qui entraînerait un réchauffement brutal de la Terre aux conséquences catastrophiques pour les sociétés humaines et les écosystèmes, est à considérer avec un grand sérieux.La mise en œuvre du SRM risquerait, en outre, de freiner les efforts indispensables de réduction des émissions de GES en nourrissant l'illusion d'un remède rapide, sans régler pour autant l'origine du problème et l'acidification de l'océan.Les méthodes de CDR apparaissent nécessaires pour atteindre la neutralité carbone en contrebalançant les émissions issues notamment des activités pour lesquelles il n'existe pas encore de technologie bas-carbone accessible techniquement ou économiquement (émissions résiduelles).Elles permettront éventuellement de faire redescendre légèrement la température, après avoir dépassé un certain niveau de réchauffement planétaire, quelques dixièmes de degrés ou moins.Elles pourraient aussi aider à compenser une partie des émissions de GES induites par les réactions naturelles du climat dans un monde plus chaud, notamment en cas de rétroactions amplificatrices du cycle* du carbone par la transformation de puits naturels de carbone en sources (par exemple lors du dégel des sols gelés).Leur efficacité, leur coût, leur faisabilité à grande échelle et leurs répercussions environnementales restent cependant très variables selon les techniques considérées. 1 .Les méthodes dites de Captage,

Daily data are divided chronologically into a pre-geopolitical period (January 2024–May 2025) and a geopolitical crisis period (June 2025–May 2026).Trend analysis results reveal a unique market adaptation phenomenon, wherein the geopolitical crisis period paradoxically exhibits a positive trend recovery characterized by lower and more stable market risk within a volatility range of 0.010 to 0.026, compared to the pre-geopolitical period which peaked at 0.041. Predictive performance evaluation demonstrates that the tree-based ensemble model, specifically XGBoost, achieves the highest accuracy and efficiency, registering the minimum error metrics (MAE: 22.19; RMSE: 30.99; MAPE: 0.56%). The ARIMAX(2,0,1) model ranks second (MAPE: 0.65%) and successfully confirms a strong, negative linear influence of the BI Rate variable on stock prices. Conversely, the LSTM and GRU architectures underperform due to data scarcity constraints inherent to parameter-dense models, as well as a smoothing effect that hinders the capture of extreme price fluctuations. This study confirms that ensemble learning approaches, such as XGBoost, are superior, adaptive, and robust for modeling moderate-scale financial data amidst dynamic macroeconomic volatility.","url":"https://doi.org/10.23887/janapati.v15i2.115773","authors":["Eka Sari","Titik Rahmawati","Agung Priyanto","Julia Kurniasih","Fuadhillah Kirana Putri"],"tags":["Volatility (finance)","Econometrics","Economics","Stock (firearms)","Geopolitics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.23887/janapati.v15i2.115773","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7164031969","name":"Effects of alginate encapsulated divalent ions (Zn2+, Cu2+ and Ca2+) on mustard (Brassica juncea (L.)

The release of Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ negatively influenced radicle development, with Cu²⁺ almost completely suppressing radicle elongation, and Zn²⁺ exhibiting a progressive inhibitory effect with increasing incubation time. Although, Ca²⁺ stimulated radicle elongation, it did not significantly affect total sprout and cotyledon biomass.","url":"https://doi.org/10.24326/asphc.2026.5601","authors":["Belen Reig Vano","Beata Kowalska","Magdalena Szczech","Robert Maciorowski","Magdalena Olkiewicz","Marta Giamberini","Bartosz Tylkowski"],"tags":["Radicle","Germination","Seedling","Cotyledon","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.24326/asphc.2026.5601","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7172339971","name":"Complex Karyotype and TP53 Alterations in AML and MDS","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background/Objectives: A complex karyotype (CK) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) is defined as the presence of three or more unrelated chromosomal abnormalities in the absence of defining core-binding factor translocations. Losses/Deletions on chromosomes 5, 7 and 17 are frequently observed. It is heavily associated with TP53 mutations, with 70–80% of CK cases in MDS/AML harboring TP53 mutations. Methods: An extensive literature search of the studies carried out in the last two decades has shown a consistent development of experimental and clinical studies aiming to characterize the biological properties and clinical features of AML and MDS bearing CK and TP53 mutations. Results: These studies have greatly contributed to identifying as separate entities AML and MDS bearing CK and or TP53 alterations. Particularly, the improvement in the methods of detection of chromosome aberrations has contributed to defining the specific nature of the various chromosome abnormalities and to deciphering the mechanisms of catastrophic events leading to gene rearrangements. Two types of CK were identified in AML and MDS, one more frequently associated with TP53 mutations (with poor prognosis) and another less frequently without TP53 mutations (with relatively better prognosis). Conclusions: The treatment of AML and MDS with CK and/or TP53 mutations alterations remains extremely challenging, and the prognosis of these patients is dismal. The main aim of the various induction treatments explored in these patients is to bridge patients to allo-HSCT, the only therapeutic approach able to improve the survival of at least a part of these patients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/hemato7030025","authors":["Ugo Testa"],"tags":["Myeloid leukemia","Karyotype","Cancer research","Biology","Chromosome abnormality"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/hemato7030025","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7155402702","name":"Reperfusion Therapy and Outcomes in High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism ― Multicenter Registry Study From the Tokyo Cardiovascular Care Unit Network ―","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background: High-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with substantial mortality, and contemporary guidelines recommend prompt reperfusion therapy when feasible. However, real-world data describing how reperfusion is used in practice, and its outcomes, remain limited. Methods and Results: We conducted an observational analysis of patients with high-risk PE enrolled in the Tokyo Cardiovascular Care Unit Network registry between 2020 and 2022. High-risk PE was defined as a presentation complicated with shock, sustained hypotension, or cardiac arrest. Reperfusion therapies included systemic thrombolysis, catheter-based therapy, and surgical embolectomy. Of 1,217 patients with PE, 185 (15.2%) met the high-risk PE criteria. Reperfusion therapy was administered to 43.8% of patients (systemic thrombolysis, 27.6%; surgical embolectomy, 13.0%; catheter-based therapy, 3.2%), and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) was used in 29.7% of patients. Overall, in-hospital mortality was 14.6%. Mortality was lower with than without reperfusion therapy (8.6% vs. 19.2%), without significant differences in bleeding events. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, cardiac arrest, VA-ECMO use, and lack of reperfusion therapy were independently associated with increased in-hospital mortality risk. Conclusions: In this contemporary multicenter registry, reperfusion therapy was used in fewer than half of patients with high-risk PE and was associated with lower in-hospital mortality, although residual confounding cannot be excluded given the observational study design. These findings highlight both the potential benefit and the incomplete real-world adoption of guideline-recommended reperfusion strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1253/circrep.cr-26-0060","authors":["T Yamamoto","Hiroyuki Yamamoto","Toshihiro Nozato","Atsushi Mizuno","Nobuhiro Hara","Shinji Hisatake","Kuniya Asai","Shun Kohsaka","Morimasa Takayama"],"tags":["Medicine","Pulmonary embolism","Reperfusion therapy","Emergency medicine","Intensive care medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1253/circrep.cr-26-0060","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7171974368","name":"Research on the Extraction Efficiency of Tight Oil in Porous Media Under Varying CO2 Injection Pressures","source":"openalex","abstract":"Developing complex fault-block low-permeability reservoirs faces great challenges in constructing efficient injection-production flow pathways, which often leads to unsatisfactory waterflooding development performance. To improve the recovery efficiency of this type of reservoir, this study first carried out laboratory extraction experiments and then conducted CO2 extraction numerical simulations on low-permeability porous media via ANSYS to validate the experimental results. Based on investigations targeting the target reservoir, the key findings are summarized as follows: Supercritical CO2 preferentially extracts light hydrocarbon components lighter than C10, which accounts for more than 60% of the total extracted components; when the pressure exceeds 20 MPa, a small amount of heavy components C15+ can also be extracted. Under the experimental conditions adopted in this study, the optimal CO2 reinjection pressure range is determined as 12–20 MPa. Within this range, the extraction efficiency increases by 2.0–2.5% per 1 MPa increment of pressure, and this pressure condition can effectively dissolve medium hydrocarbon components and promote the formation of uniform plug flow. However, when the reinjection pressure continues to rise beyond 20 MPa, the CO2 extraction efficiency will gradually decrease. The numerically simulated CO2 extraction efficiency of crude oil shows high consistency with the experimental measurements. This study confirms that CO2 huff-n-puff can be effectively applied for crude oil extraction in the peripheral areas of tight reservoirs and fault-block reservoir units. Nevertheless, in field application, it is imperative to optimize the reinjection pressure design: accurately customizing injection pressure parameters according to different reservoir types and their specific development requirements is a core measure to improve CO2 extraction efficiency.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr14152471","authors":["Chunyu Du","Xingrui Jia","Xuanwei Pang","Shijie Zhu"],"tags":["Extraction (chemistry)","Petroleum engineering","Porous medium","Supercritical fluid","Oil field"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr14152471","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7203579673","name":"Integrated Environmental Impact Assessment with Dynamic Life Cycle Assessment Framework for Mineral Carbonation of Steel Slags as a Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Technology in Agriculture","source":"openalex","abstract":"sponsorship: This research was funded by FWO, grant number G0A4821N (Ponnapat Watjanatepin).

However, the volatility and intermittency of renewable energy sources (RES) may lead to capacity oversizing, while conventional annualized-cost and levelized-cost metrics are insufficient to evaluate investment return. To address these issues, this paper develops a fractional programming-based optimal sizing model for the H2-DRI-EAF-MeOH system. Hourly production rate limits are decoupled from annual production capacities and formulated as independent decision variables. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that increasing hourly production rate limits expands the multi-period operating feasible region, increases the theoretical upper bound on RES matching, and provides an investment-efficiency condition for increasing production rate limits. The annualized net return on investment (ANROI) is then adopted to represent investment return, and the resulting mixed-integer linear fractional programming model is solved using the Dinkelbach method. Case studies show that compared with the annualized net return (ANR) benchmark, the ANROI-based sizing yields higher internal rates of return (IRR), reaching 20.67% and 17.08% under the on-grid and off-grid scenarios, respectively. As the equivalent annual operating hours decrease from 8000 to 4000 h, the IRR increases from 19.68% to 20.67% under the on-grid scenario and from 12.64% to 17.08% under the off-grid scenario, while the corresponding battery storage capacities decrease by 113.56 and 796.31 MWh. The off-grid zero-carbon constraint enables CO2-to-MeOH conversion but reduces the system IRR to 14.99%, indicating that the resulting revenues are insufficient to offset the additional costs.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7172067828","authors":["Qiang Ji","Fashun Shi","Lin Cheng","Yeye Xie","Yufei Xi","Zhen Dai","Xun Wang"],"tags":["Sizing","Offset (computer science)","Production (economics)","Internal rate of return","Process engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-28","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7165508209","name":"Енергетична політика Норвегії у взаєминах з Європейським Союзом","source":"openalex","abstract":"У бакалаврській роботі досліджено особливості енергетичної політики Норвегії у контексті її співпраці з Європейським Союзом та проаналізовано трансформацію норвезько-європейських енергетичних відносин в умовах сучасних геополітичних викликів.

We modeled long-term scenarios up to 2050 for four CDR technologies: bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), biochar soil amendment, direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS), and enhanced weathering of mining rock waste (EW). An integrated energy economic model compiled using the TIMES-model generator was used to produce cost-minimal development scenarios for Finland’s energy system, including CDR technologies. Three scenarios were modeled: one without a specific CDR target and two with low- and high CDR targets. The results show that CDR targets primarily affect the deployment of biochar, BECCS, and DACCS, whereas EW potential was fully utilized in all scenarios. Most of the growth in the CDR deployment originated from DACCS, while BECCS and biochar remained relatively insensitive to the CDR targets. The limited availability of sustainable biomass and its allocation across competing sectors played a central role in shaping the complex interactions between BECCS, biochar, and DACCS in the Finnish energy system. Regarding national net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the findings indicate that the net-zero GHG target is more easily achieved under any binding CDR target than without one. However, substantial CDR deployment would still be required for Finland to achieve climate neutrality even by 2050. The impacts of CDR technologies extend more broadly throughout the energy system than shown in earlier studies due to interconnections between the energy-consuming and producing sectors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2753-3751/ae57b0","authors":["Johanna Markkanen","Kati Koponen","Tomi Lindroos","Tiina Koljonen","Heidi Kirppu"],"tags":["Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage","Software deployment","Greenhouse gas","Environmental science","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2753-3751/ae57b0","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7202212446","name":"Carbon Capture Utilization and Trapping Efficiency Modelling: A Case Study of Gas Flare Site in Niger Delta","source":"openalex","abstract":"Most significant challenges in recent decades have been the rise in global average temperature, which is mostly caused by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Previous research used complex numerical simulations processes that uses iterative procedures to obtain a certain operating condition, which are time-consuming, tiresome, and require expensive devices that are limited in locations where real-time decisions are required. These methods do not produce models that are flexible, generalizable, accurate, or robust. Smart digital technology concepts such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are becoming increasingly popular and are being used in a variety of applications including carbon capture. This study primarily aims to create models for predicting CO2 trapping efficiency using AI such as artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector regression (SVR) to address these problems. The models were built using 260 CO2 trapping efficiency data from a gas flare site in the Niger Delta. The performance of the developed models was analysed using the statistical metrics. The goodness of fit (R2), mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), and average percentage relative error (APRE) were 0.9993, 9.0×10–4, 9.53×10–3 and 0.18282 for the ANN model, whereas for the SVR model, the R2, MSE, RMSE, and APRE were 0.9766, 3.095×10–3, 5.563×10–2 and 1.4137 respectively. The parametric importance results for CO2 trapping efficiency show that while CO2 mass fraction had the greatest influence (29.70%), temperature, density, emission rate, pressure and activity rate followed with contributions of 17.29%, 12.41%, 11.30%, 11.06%, and 10.58%, respectively, while time had the least effect of 7.62%. The models were explicitly provided to make them easy to implement into software programmes. The explicitness, accuracy, and suggestion for using the models in the field are among the features of the models given in this study for which uniqueness is claimed.

While acid pre-treatment could positively impact storage operations, it introduces additional permitting complexity related to well classification, chemical stimulation, waste management, and environmental protection requirements. Two implementation pathways (in British Columbia and Washington, DC) are evaluated to determine the extent to which current regulations could enable or restrict the deployment of carbon mineralization projects, with or without acid pre-treatment. The analysis demonstrates that most regulatory frameworks were developed for conventional storage and do not explicitly address mineralization storage. Broad legislative language may allow mineralization projects to be permitted under existing CCS regulations using a case-by-case approach. Regulatory uncertainty surrounding mineralization storage projects remains a significant barrier to deployment, particularly for projects incorporating an acid pre-treatment. However, existing CCS frameworks provide a foundation upon which mineralization-specific regulations can be developed. Establishing clear permitting pathways, monitoring requirements, and guidance for chemical stimulation could accelerate the deployment of carbon mineralization as a secure and scalable carbon management solution.","url":"https://doi.org/10.70212/cdrxiv.2026529.v1","authors":["Calista Brown","Madeline Bartels","Benjamin M.

This study investigates the technical and economic viability of capturing CO₂ emissions from an aluminium smelter and converting them into stable magnesium carbonate materials through ex-situ mineral carbonation. Two distinct process routes are compared: one based on serpentinite rock (ultramafic feedstock) from the Ballantrae region of Scotland, which co-produces magnesium carbonate, nesquehonite, and silica sand; and one based on seawater brine, which yields only nesquehonite. Following a systematic evaluation of adsorbent materials, the serpentinite route was selected as the primary case for full techno-economic modelling. Applied to the ALVANCE British Aluminium smelter at Lochaber—which emits approximately 187,200 tonnes of CO₂ per year—a bottom-up capital expenditure (CAPEX) estimate of £152 million was developed, with annual operating expenditures (OPEX) of approximately £62.4 million. Revenue projections incorporating UK Emissions Trading System (ETS) carbon credits at £75 per tonne, magnesium carbonate sales at £260 per tonne, and silica by-product revenue yield a simple payback period of approximately 11 years and an after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 16%. The seawater route does not achieve financial break-even within a 20-year project horizon under the same assumptions. The findings demonstrate that on-site mineral carbonation at industrial cluster facilities can offer commercially viable CO₂ abatement while simultaneously producing construction materials with a negative carbon footprint.","url":"https://doi.org/10.70917/jcc-2026-014","authors":["Ali Sheibani","Wenbin Zhang"],"tags":["Bauxite","Environmental science","Payback period","Smelting","Carbonate"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.70917/jcc-2026-014","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7168350834","name":"Toward Circular Carbon Systems: A Comprehensive Review of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (BECCUS)","source":"openalex","abstract":"Bioenergy with carbon capture, utilization, and storage (BECCUS) is increasingly regarded as a potential pathway to achieve net-negative emissions and support deep decarbonization.

To improve conceptual clarity, the review distinguishes among BECCS, BECCU, and BECCUS based on carbon retention time, lifecycle boundaries, and final product fate. Recent advances in carbon capture technologies, including absorption, adsorption, membrane separation, chemical looping, cryogenic separation, direct air capture, and hybrid systems, are reviewed with particular attention to biomass-based applications. Major utilization and storage pathways are also critically assessed, including geological storage, CO2-enhanced recovery, cement mineralization, CO2-to-chemicals, CO2-to-fuels, microalgae-based conversion, and agricultural CO2 utilization. These pathways are compared in terms of technology readiness, mitigation potential, permanence, energy demand, economic feasibility, and major limitations. A bibliometric analysis is further included to identify research hotspots and emerging trends.

With the region’s growing population and economic growth, the AMS is expected to become a new global epicenter of the energy market. This trend makes energy security one of the highest priorities in the region’s energy development. ACE provides relevant information and expertise, ensuring the alignment of energy strategies within ASEAN to be harmonised with the economic growth and the environmental sustainability of the region. To support this, the ASEAN Plan of Action on Energy Cooperation (APAEC) was endorsed in 1999 and serves as a regional blueprint and guiding policy document on energy cooperation. The ongoing ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) Phase II: 2021-2025 highlights energy transition as one of the key elements to be achieved, accompanied by the aspirational target of 23% renewable energy share of the primary energy mix by 2025 and 30% energy intensity reduction in 2025 based on 2005 levels. To further accelerate the progress towards a sustainable future, enhance collaboration among various sectors, and bridge the gap between academia, policymakers, and businesses, we are delighted to announce that the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) will be hosting the 5th ASEAN International Conference on Energy and Environment (AICEE) in conjunction with The ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF) 2025 and The 43rd ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM) in September 2025. These events will provide a platform for academics, practitioners, and stakeholders to network, exchange ideas, and explore innovative solutions to address energy and environmental challenges. Under the ASEAN Malaysia Chairmanship in 2025, inclusivity and sustainability have become two priority agendas, with a focus on narrowing the development gap and reducing inequalities in the energy transition. On the other hand, the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) Phase II: 2021-2025, a regional blueprint on energy cooperation, has a theme and sub-theme in which embracing the energy transition is one of the key elements for achieving regional energy security and environmental sustainability. As this document will end soon in 2025, ASEAN has agreed to the new theme of APAEC 2026-2030, “ Advancing Regional Cooperation in Ensuring Energy Security and Accelerating Decarbonisation for a Just and Inclusive Energy Transition .” List of Key Dates, Participants, Agenda, Steering Committee, Scientific Committee, Organizing Committee, Annex 1 – Agenda are available in this PDF.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/1654/1/011001","authors":[],"tags":["Blueprint","Action plan","Energy policy","Energy security","Business"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/1654/1/011001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7140465120","name":"Coupling Solvay process with carbon mineralization in stilbite: an innovative approach for carbon dioxide storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Geological storage of CO 2 through carbon mineralization is an efficient approach to reverse climate change, especially in stilbite-bearing formations such as basalts. However, integrated process routes that directly couple industrial CO 2 utilization with reactive mineral phases remain underexplored. Thus, this study presents a novel integrated pathway that couples CO 2 utilisation and permanent storage by linking a Solvay-type Na 2 CO 3 production loop directly to mineral carbonation in stilbite. Stilbite, a Ca-rich secondary zeolite, is evaluated as a reactive medium for CO 2 fixation via Na–Ca cation exchange using Na 2 CO 3 generated from the Solvay process. Stilbite samples collected from the Rajkot region (Gujarat, India) were reacted with Na 2 CO 3 solution in an in-house fabricated reactor at 60 °C and 1 bar for 30 days. The post-reaction products were characterised using XRD, XRF, FE-SEM and TGA. Post-reaction XRD confirms calcite precipitation, and XRF data reveal substantial Na enrichment (0.51–7.74 wt%) and Ca depletion (7.34–5.88 wt%), indicating a dominant Na–Ca exchange mechanism for CO 2 storage. The variation in the wt% in stilbite indicates Na-Ca exchange at the cation level, atomic mass differences, partial desilication, and secondary calcite precipitation within the solid matrix. FESEM imaging shows roughened stilbite surfaces and abundant secondary calcite crystals, confirming mineralogical immobilisation of CO 2 as calcite directly on and around the host zeolite. The Na-Ca exchange-driven calcite precipitation quantified by TGA shows a 5.76% mass loss between 800 °C and 950 °C, with a further calculation of CO 2 uptake of 57.6 g CO 2 kg -1 for stilbite. The novelty of this work lies in demonstrating a coupled Solvay–stilbite route to store CO 2 and drive rapid carbon mineralization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2026.1800078","authors":["Rahul Kumar Singh","Nirlipta Priyadarshini Nayak","Pratichi Sangwan","Dia Kumar","Gaurav Sharma"],"tags":["Calcite","Carbonation","Mineralization (soil science)","Chemistry","Carbon dioxide"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2026.1800078","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7156976538","name":"Recent Advances in Coal-to-Olefins Conversion and Its Catalysts","source":"openalex","abstract":"Olefins serve as a crucial organic chemical feedstock in synthetic chemistry due to their extensive applications.

They note that decision-making in this area is guided by the ‘best interests’ of the child, which itself is a balance between two rights as set out in the Bangkok Rules (the UN rules for treatment of women prisoners): the rights of children to reside with their mothers or to be separated from their care. To explore how these tensions and balances are addressed, the authors compare current approaches in England & Wales, Scotland and Italy. The authors adopt this comparative analysis to illustrate that, even when jurisdictions all share the aim of promoting ‘the best interests of the child’, policy and practice surrounding the treatment of imprisoned mothers can differ greatly. The difference occurs, they argue, because these policies and practices are shaped by social and penal cultures.

Despite having strong evidence supporting their use, implementation remains inconsistent due to knowledge gaps, workflow barriers and interdisciplinary communication challenges. Local Problem: This quality improvement (QI) project aimed to improve critical care nurses’ knowledge and confidence regarding the implementation of SATs and SBTs through an evidence-based educational intervention. Methods: Guided by the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) framework, this QI project was conducted in the critical care unit of a community hospital in Southern New England. Anonymous electronic pre- and post-intervention surveys assessed nurses’ knowledge, confidence and perceived barriers related to SAT and SBT implementation. Following analysis of baseline survey findings, an evidence-based educational handout summarizing SAT and SBT indications, contraindications, and best practices was distributed electronically. Descriptive statistics were used to compare pre- and post-intervention survey responses. Results: Eleven nurses completed the pre-intervention survey and three completed the post-intervention survey. Baseline knowledge was high across most survey items, with improvements observed in identifying hemodynamic instability and assessment of hemodynamic stability before SBTs following the educational intervention. Participants continued to identify workflow and interdisciplinary communication as barriers to consistent SAT and SBT implementation. Findings should be interpreted cautiously because of the limited post-intervention response. Conclusion: This project demonstrated the feasibility of implementing a low-cost educational intervention to reinforce evidence-based SAT and SBT practices. Continued staff education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and integration of SAT and SBT protocols into routine ICU workflows may improve adherence to ICU Liberation Bundle Recommendations and support future improvements in patient outcomes.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7170238455","authors":["Morgan Crapo"],"tags":["Consistency (knowledge bases)","Quality management","Workflow","Baseline (sea)","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W2414657946","name":"Diagnosis of Myelodysplastic Syndromes","source":"openalex","abstract":"This chapter includes answers to practice-based questions with case studies covering the new principles of diagnosis, classification, staging, treatment, and outcomes in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

Here, four protoberberine alkaloids—epiberberine, jatrorrhizine, berberine, and coptisine—were identified by screening multiple natural compounds, and their anti-Mhp activity was evaluated. All alkaloids exhibited potent inhibitory effects against the virulent Mhp strain ES-2, with minimum inhibitory concentrations from 8 to 32 µg/mL. Their bactericidal activities were time- and concentration-dependent. At the cellular level, all protoberberine alkaloids significantly enhanced infected cell viability, suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokine expression (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β), and exhibited low cytotoxicity toward host cells. In a Chang Da binary cross-breeding pig infection model, jatrorrhizine markedly alleviated clinical symptoms, reduced pulmonary pathogen loads, and mitigated histopathological damage in lung tissues, with therapeutic efficacy comparable to that of florfenicol. Our findings demonstrated that protoberberine alkaloids possessed potent anti-Mhp activity, high safety profiles, and promising therapeutic potential. IMPORTANCE Swine enzootic pneumonia, caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae ( M. hyopneumoniae ), remains one of the most economically devastating respiratory diseases in the global swine industry. The emergence of antibiotic resistance in livestock highlights the urgent need for effective, safe, and sustainable alternatives. This study demonstrates that naturally derived protoberberine alkaloids exhibit potent antibacterial activity against M. hyopneumoniae while maintaining low host cytotoxicity and strong anti-inflammatory effects. Among them, jatrorrhizine showed remarkable therapeutic efficacy in infected pigs, comparable with that of florfenicol. These findings provide a scientific basis for developing protoberberine alkaloids as promising natural alternatives to conventional antibiotics for controlling M. hyopneumoniae infections, thereby contributing to improved animal health, reduced antimicrobial resistance, and sustainable swine production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1128/spectrum.03254-25","authors":["Chenchen Wang","Xiaoxu He","Lijun Yang","Yulin Qian","Xiaodan Li","Xuecheng Duan","Huifang Ma","Zhaoran Zhang","Xiangru Wang","Chen Tan"],"tags":["Antimicrobial","Antibiotics","Jatrorrhizine","Biology","Traditional medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1128/spectrum.03254-25","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W4399022551","name":"CCS Opportunity Along the Gulf Coast Corridor","source":"openalex","abstract":"CCS Opportunity Along the Gulf Coast Corridor• Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) activity occurs from Corpus Christi, Texas to the Mississippi River and beyond.• This region presents a high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from industrial sources.• Excellent storage reservoirs are present in the underlying Cretaceous and Tertiary clastic stratigraphy.• Analysis of the technical, geologic, economic, and social aspects of CCS potential in this area is necessary for successful deployment of CCS technology.• Significant opportunity towards attainment of net zero emission goals for the power sector by 2035 and for the economy no later than 2050.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/2352712","authors":["Timothy Grant","Luciane Cunha","David Morgan","Taylor Vactor","Hannah Hoffman"],"tags":["Geology","Oceanography"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2172/2352712","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7157515858","name":"Simulation and analysis of green methanol synthesis in a plug-flow reactor","source":"openalex","abstract":"This thesis examines green methanol synthesis from carbon dioxide and hydrogen in a plug-flow reactor using a MATLAB model.

A three-dimensional reservoir model was constructed using representative geological and petrophysical properties consistent with those of the Clinton Sandstone.

This is carried out using alkaline pH-risers to neutralize the acidity of carbonic acid (H2CO3) to cause a change in the chemical balance to carbonate ions (CO32-). This paper assesses the different sources of alkalinity with special reference to the performance of caustic soda (NaOH) and soda ash (Na2CO3) under industrial circumstances. It has been shown in experiments that caustic soda is the most effective reagent in quick mineralization. It causes a sudden early increase in pH (about 2.0 to 2.5 units per gram) and maintains a very alkaline pH (pH >12), which are critical to the efficiency of CO2 absorption (95.52 %). Moreover, NaOH has a remarkable stability at high pressure and the rate of change in pH (0.3 ΔpH/gm) does not change at the pressure of 65 bars. Soda ash on the other hand is a moderate buffer that reaches its highest pH at approximately 11.6, with an easily lower absorption efficiency of 72.45%. Soda ash performance improves as the pressure is increased to conserve pressure up to 65 bar, thus making it difficult to use it in high-pressure systems. Optimization of the industry shows that the efficiency is maximized within the temperature regime between 40°C and 60°C, where the accelerated reaction rates resulting decrease in the gas solubility. Furthermore, the best mass transfer rate is 300 rpm that minimizes the CO2 bubble size. Though the stoichiometric superiority of caustic soda 1.0 kg does the work of 1.3 kg of soda ash, it presents severe challenges to operation because of its expensive nature, energy-consuming nature, and corrosivity. Soda ash is also still a feasible option in large scale sequestration due to its 30-40 % lower cost and the fact that it is dry and can be transported easily. Finally, a tradeoff between chemical reactivity, mechanical stability, and scalability of the economic side should be made even in the choice of a pH riser.","url":"https://doi.org/10.31699/ijcpe.2026.2.6","authors":["Mohannad Q.

The Tri-State area between West Virgina, Ohio and Pennsylvania are a diverse region with various CO₂ sources, deep saline, depleted reservoirs, pipeline network, and the midstream infrastructure that makes it possible for Captured CO₂ to be safely and economically moved and stored over long periods of time. This project addresses the need for an integrated optimization framework that includes CO₂ sources to potential storing sites using a transportation network design and a subsurface model that secures storage and minimizes leakage risk. The model is developed using data from legacy wells in the study area due to the lack of project-specific data in the meantime. The goal of compiling these data is to get structure maps, porosity, permeability, and pressure-temperature conditions to first statically model the study area. After that, dynamic data is input to create a dynamic model that can simulate injection. The output of these simulations will give us an idea of the storage characteristics like storage capacity, pressure distribution, CO₂ plume migration, and potential leakage indicators. The goal of this project is to is to deploy Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) infrastructure in the Tri-State Hub area of West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania to establish a cost-effective and practical decarbonization strategy. It is necessary to account for the impact of high capital costs, distance between emissions sources and storage sinks, and the regulatory landscape to successfully deploy a CCS network in the region. The aim of this study is to optimize the capture and storage of CO₂ in the area by integrating technical, economical modeling with a policy analysis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.33915/etd.13323","authors":["Saif Abdullah Saif Al-Nabhani"],"tags":["Midstream","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Carbon sequestration","Environmental science","Pipeline (software)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.33915/etd.13323","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7167485315","name":"Sealing Performance of Sn58Bi Low-Melting-Point Alloy for B-Annulus Plugging Under Cyclic Loading","source":"openalex","abstract":"In geological carbon storage, cyclic casing loading can induce micro-annuli in the B-annulus cement sheath, risking CO2 leakage. Compared with conventional cement, the Sn58Bi low-melting-point alloy boasts excellent flowability and favorable elastoplastic behavior, emerging as a promising sealing alternative. This study focuses on enhancing wellbore integrity by using Sn58Bi alloy to seal the B-annulus cement sheath. An experimental system was established to simulate micro-annulus evolution, with gas migration tests conducted under cyclic internal pressure to systematically evaluate the effects of temperature and cyclic loading on the alloy’s sealing performance. Additionally, a three-layer casing–annulus–formation coupling model was constructed to investigate the radial displacement of the Sn58Bi alloy sheath and cement sheath at 30 °C and 20 MPa casing pressure, clarifying their distinct mechanical responses. Results show that the alloy’s sealing performance improves with temperature (30–90 °C), while elevated cyclic internal pressure accelerates gas breakthrough and reduces sustainable cycles. Under identical conditions (30 °C, 20 MPa), Sn58Bi alloy exhibits significantly superior CO2 sealing capacity to conventional cement. This study confirms the alloy’s potential for enhancing wellbore integrity and provides theoretical support for its application in B-annulus plugging during subsurface carbon storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/met16070739","authors":["Chunqing Zha","Jiajun Sun","Wei Wang","Gonghui Liu","W J Liu","Jun Li"],"tags":["Casing","Alloy","Materials science","Cement","Displacement (psychology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/met16070739","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7127141729","name":"Effect of a Structured Supportive and Palliative Caring Approach on the Incidence of Arrhythmia, Chest Pain, and Anxiety in CAD Patients Admitted to the Cardiac Care Unit","source":"openalex","abstract":"Purpose: Given the importance of managing chest pain, anxiety, and cardiac arrhythmia in cardiac care unit patients this study aim to determine the effect of a structured supportive and palliative care approach on these three critical aspects. Patients and Methods: A randomized, double-blind, clinical trial with two groups was conducted in the second half of 2025. The research population included patients who were hospitalized in the cardiac care unit, with a final sample size of 36 people in each group. The data collection instruments included personal information, an electrocardiogram machine, a Visual Analog Scale, and the Spielberger anxiety questionnaire. The variables were measured before the intervention. Routine treatments were then continued for the control group, and in the intervention group, in addition to the routine treatments, a structured supportive and palliative care approach was implemented. Three and seven days after the intervention, these variables were measured. Results: Seventy-two patients participated in this study. As the results showed, chest pain, arrhythmia incidence, and anxiety in both groups decreased over time from the first to the third time; however, this difference was statistically significant in the intervention group for all three variables (p=0.044, 0.012, and 0.03, respectively), whereas in the control group, it was only significant in the anxiety variable (p=0. 045). The findings also showed that the mean scores of chest pain, arrhythmia incidence, and anxiety before the intervention in the two groups did not differ significantly; however, there was a significant difference in the three variables three and seven days after the intervention. Conclusion: As the results showed, supportive and palliative care approaches are effective in reducing chest pain, arrhythmia incidence, and anxiety levels in cardiac care unit patients. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare guidelines in this field based on the results of this study and other published studies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2147/prom.s561710","authors":["Alaa Kadhim"],"tags":["Medicine","Anxiety","Incidence (geometry)","Coronary care unit","Intervention (counseling)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2147/prom.s561710","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7171359895","name":"The renaissance of carbon capture and storage in Germany and the politics of conditionality","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is currently experiencing a renaissance, especially as a means to address so-called hard-to-abate emissions and achieve net-zero climate targets through carbon dioxide removal.

We investigate why and how CCS has made a comeback in Germany.

We investigated the expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs), a group of noncoding RNAs produced by back-splicing of nonadjacent splice sites. Key findings were further explored in an independent cohort of 118 patients with MDS and ring sideroblasts. circRNA abundance was higher in the disease groups than in controls, and different spliceosome mutations were associated with distinct circRNA expression patterns. Expression of the proliferation-related gene MKI67 was negatively correlated with circRNA abundance. High circRNA abundance was associated with a significantly increased risk of disease progression at 3 years. The majority of the 38 circRNAs that were significantly upregulated in MDS demonstrated highly correlated expression, and many were associated with risk of leukemic progression. Furthermore, we confirmed the specificity of circZEB1 expression to cases with SF3B1 mutations. We conclude that aberrant circRNA expression is found in MDS and displays associations with disease characteristics and patient outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/1878-0261.70208","authors":["Eileen Wedge","Morten Tulstrup","Gabriele Todisco","Pedro Moura","Christophé Côme","Jakob Werner Hansen","Jakob S.

A head CT showed right paramedian fracture of the occipital bone, left frontal subarachnoid hemorrhage and left frontal subdural hemorrhage. The neurosurgeon gave no indication to urgent evacuation of the hemorrhage. Then elevation of cardiac enzymes and ST–segment elevation at the EKG were found but due to the state of the patient a coronary angiography was not performed and the patient was transferred to the CCU. The patient was hemodynamically stable with right hemiplegia. The EKG showed rapid ventricular rate atrial fibrillation with ST segment elevation in inferior and lateral leads with T wave inversion in the same leads and elevated serum troponin levels. ETT showed: EF 30% with a global reduction of left ventricular systolic function with diffuse akinesis. Intravenous therapy with mannitol and corticosteroids for perilesional oedema was started. Beta blockers and a class III antiarrhythmic drug were also started, but hemodynamic conditions declined and acute kidney failure occurred with progressive hypotension followed by cardiogenic shock. The patient had an episode of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia treated with antiarrhythmic drugs and magnesium sulfate. The EKG started to show a normalization of the repolarization phase with regression of ST segment elevation and persistent T wave inversion.The patient’s neurological conditions were complicated with epileptic seizures.On the fifth day of hospitalization the TTE revealed a slight improvement of global systolic function and the presence of an apical thrombotic apposition.The patient’s clinical conditions worsened and led to exitus. Discussion The interpretation of this patient’s history was made more difficult by the lack of witnesses of the trauma.The patient’s age, her history of hypertension and the presence of regional wall motion abnormalities at the TTE suggested the presence of CAD. On the other side the atrial fibrillation could hint a primitive cerebral event. This case report shows the potentially severe cardiac manifestations of cerebral hemorrhage and the necessity to consider cerebrovascular events as the cause of EKG changes mimicking a myocardial infarction, cardiac enzymes elevation and ventricular wall motion abnormalities, in order to avoid inappropriate or delated therapies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/suac012.400","authors":["G.

Power-to-Gas (PtG), which converts surplus green electricity into synthetic natural gas (SNG) via CO 2 methanation, offers a promising solution to bridge the power grid and natural gas infrastructure. However, the kinetic limitations of CO 2 hydrogenation at low temperatures (<200 °C) severely restrict the overall energy efficiency and operational flexibility of PtG systems. In this work, a Ni-based inverse catalyst is developed, featuring oxide nano-islands that are uniformly dispersed across a metallic Ni support. Relative to conventional Ni/oxide catalysts with identical composition, this novel structure demonstrates markedly improved methanation performance at low temperatures. Under mild conditions (125°C, atmospheric pressure), the catalyst achieves nearly 80% CO 2 conversion with over 97% CH 4 selectivity, and maintains excellent stability over 240 hours of continuous operation. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the inverse interface facilitates dissociative H 2 adsorption, optimizes reactant surface coverage, and lowers the activation barrier for CO 2 hydrogenation. Moreover, the asymmetric coordination at the oxide-metal interface stabilizes key reactive intermediates, promoting their stepwise conversion to CH 4 . Here, we present a universal and efficient approach for constructing high-activity Ni-based catalysts suited for low-temperature CO 2 methanation with low energy input. This development facilitates the progress of adaptable Power-to-Gas (PtG) technologies aimed at storing renewable electricity and establishing carbon-neutral energy infrastructure.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/3277/1/012054","authors":["Da Zhang"],"tags":["Methanation","Power to gas","Renewable energy","Substitute natural gas","Catalysis"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/3277/1/012054","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7171283081","name":"Bacterial Pathogens and Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles in Respiratory Tract Infections at a Tertiary Hospital in Najran, Saudi Arabia","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9931661/v1","authors":["Mohsen Almakrami","Rami A Alyami","Abdullah S.

This thesis explores the valorization of carbon-intensive waste streams into porous carbons for CO₂ capture within a circular materials framework. Three structurally distinct precursors were investigated: woody biomass, recovered carbon black from end-of-life tires, and graphite from spent lithium-ion batteries. Potassium-assisted chemical activation served as a unifying synthesis approach to establish structure–property–performance relationships and assess the chosen materials suitability as solid adsorbents.The effects of precursor structure, activation conditions, and potassium speciation on pore development, carbon framework evolution, and surface chemistry were systematically analyzed. Particular attention was given to adsorption-relevant microporosity and its role in governing CO₂ uptake and CO₂/N₂ selectivity.The obtained results suggested that activation responsiveness was strongly precursor-dependent. Biomass showed the highest reactivity toward KOH, yielding dense microporous networks with BET surface areas up to 2655 m² g⁻¹ and high CO₂ capacities, although excessive activation caused pore widening and performance loss. Recovered carbon black exhibited limited activation due to its compact morphology, leading to mesopore-dominated structures and lower uptake. Recovered graphite was the most resistant, with porosity developing mainly through defect-driven edge etching while preserving graphitic order.CO₂ adsorption across all systems was governed by the presence of narrow micropores rather than total surface area, highlighting that the key performance factor was pore size matching to the kinetic diameter of CO₂ as. KOH provided the highest activation efficiency, while alternative potassium salts enabled milder pore development with improved yield. Oxygen-containing surface groups formed as a result of the activation contributed to adsorption energetics but remained secondary to textural effects under physisorption-controlled conditions.Biomass- and recovered carbon black–derived carbons showed stable cyclic operation and favorable CO₂/N₂ selectivity under dilute and flue-gas-relevant conditions.Beyond adsorption performance, this work demonstrates scalable routes for converting renewable, industrial, and technological carbon residues into high-value porous materials. The results provide design guidelines for precursor selection, activation strategy, and pore engineering in waste-derived carbons for gas separation and related environmental applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.63959/chalmers.dt/5904","authors":["Bartosz Dziejarski"],"tags":["Adsorption","Chemical engineering","Microporous material","Porosity","Carbon fibers"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.63959/chalmers.dt/5904","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402294262","name":"The Energy Transition","source":"openalex","abstract":"The simultaneous increase in the world's population and average standard of living will lead to a rapid rise in energy demand over the next few years, making the issue of energy transition all the more complex. To a great extent, growth in carbon emissions is a product of the increase in energy growth. Governments have a crucial role to play in implementing regulations to ensure that companies limit GHG emissions and manufacture products with limited GHG emissions. An energy tax is a tax on the production, transport or consumption of energy. Energy efficiency is one way of achieving energy savings, for example insulating buildings, reducing heating and cooling needs, installing light-emitting diode bulbs, and fluorescent lighting. Renewable energies are developing rapidly because their cost is falling thanks to technical progress. Hydrogen has often been presented as a miracle solution to the world's energy needs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/9781394317073.ch2","authors":["Jean-Pierre Favennec","Matthew Van der Beeuren"],"tags":["Transition (genetics)","Chemistry","Gene","Biochemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/9781394317073.ch2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7167200709","name":"Iowa HHS FFY 2027 Annual Progress and Services Report (APSR)","source":"openalex","abstract":"In accordance with this","url":"https://openalex.org/W7167200709","authors":[],"tags":["Business","Economic growth","Political science","Work (physics)","Government (linguistics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-30","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"oa:W7166804210","name":"\"The impact of competitiveness in supply chain orientation on business performance at Vietnamese cashew enterprises \"","source":"openalex","abstract":"The study evaluates the impact of Competitiveness on Supply Chain Orientation on Business Performance through the intermediaries of Collaboration, Management Efficiency, and Competitive Advantage.

In this study, we investigate the impact of key step-isotherm parameters of the diamine-functionalised metal-organic framework mmen-Mg2(dobpdc) on DAC performance using a combination of temperature-vacuum swing adsorption (TVSA) modelling and variance-based global sensitivity analysis (Sobol method). Three parameters, step pressure at reference temperature (PstepO), step enthalpy (AH High), and high-loading saturation capacity (qH), were systematically varied within physically realistic ranges. The TVSA simulations under CO2 purity ≥ 98% enabled the evaluation of process productivity and specific energy consumption (SEC). The Sobol analysis revealed that ∆H High is the dominant parameter controlling both productivity and SEC, while significant interaction effects were observed between AH High and qH for productivity, and between PsteP0, and AH High for SEC. Visualisation of feasible parameter combinations highlights regions where multiple configurations achieve high productivity with manageable energy requirements. These results provide quantitative guidance for the targeted design of cooperative step-isotherm adsorbents and demonstrate a systematic framework to link material properties with process-level performance, accelerating the development of efficient DAC technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202622011","authors":["M.

И хотя ответ кажется очевидным — «Родина — это мы», — именно многообразие голосов, территорий и личных историй позволяет вновь и вновь уточнять содержание этого понятия. В первом выпуске альманаха 2026 года представлены авторы из Москвы, Санкт-Петербурга, Челябинска, Омска, Владивостока, Томска, Кургана, Нарьян-Мара, Йошкар-Олы, Ростова-на-Дону, Республики Башкортостан, Сахалинской и Амурской областей, а также Республики Беларусь. Среди участников — Владимир Реут (Москва), Василий Большаков (Санкт-Петербург), Александр Мацак (Омск), Андрей Ардашев (Владивосток), Лидия Сядейская (Нарьян-Мар), Замира Миронова (Республика Башкортостан), Игорь Рябов (Йошкар-Ола), Наталья Сырхаева (Сахалин), Ольга Манушкова (Амурская область), Руслан Хасянов (Москва) и другие авторы, формирующие пространственно-культурную панораму современного русского слова. Проект создан для популяризации русского языка и культуры чтения, развития внутреннего туризма, укрепления межрегиональных культурных связей и сохранения исторической памяти. Альманах выступает площадкой диалога поколений и территорий, в которой литературный текст становится способом коллективного осмысления понятия Родины.","url":"https://doi.org/10.61726/3519.2026.27.86.001","authors":["N.S.

The continued strong expansion in manufacturing was also reflected in strong intermediate goods trade and strengthening business sentiment.

Externally, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling eased tariff pressures on Vietnamese exports, although uncertainty over future trade measures persists. In the banking sector, post-Tet liquidity conditions eased, enabling the SBV to reduce its earlier support as exchange rate pressures eased and interbank rates fell back.

Global growth is projected to slow to 2.5 percent in 2026, with emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) facing the weakest per capita income growth since the pandemic. The effects across EMDE regions differ based on direct impact of the conflict, energy exposure, and policy buffers. Risks to the outlook remain skewed to the downside and include escalating hostilities, further commodity market disruptions, and additional geopolitical strains, while broader adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) offers some upside. Policy action is critical: globally to safeguard energy and food security and advance the energy transition, and domestically to control inflation, strengthen fiscal sustainability, and support job creation through investment in physical, human, and digital capital. Compounding pressures from the energy shock, rising debt is driving up sovereign borrowing costs for EMDEs, particularly for those most indebted, underscoring the need for stronger revenue mobilization and improved debt management. Commodity-exporting EMDEs can improve their fiscal resilience by using credible fiscal rules, maintaining well-governed sovereign wealth funds, and diversifying revenue sources to better manage commodity price cycles.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/978-1-4648-2315-2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-11T12:00:32Z","doi":"10.1596/978-1-4648-2315-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.658Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1596/45163","name":"Thailand Monthly Economic Monitor, June 2026","source":"crossref","abstract":"Strong goods exports and continued investment helped support activity, but Thailand’s economy lost momentum in April as the Middle East conflict weighed on tourism and private consumption.

Herein, we synthesized a new moisture-stable Zn-MOF, {[Zn 2 (SDB) 2 (L) 2 ]·2DMA} n , IITKGP-12 , by utilizing a bent organic linker 4,4'-sulfonyldibenzoic acid (H 2 SDB) containing a polar sulfone group (-SO 2 ) and a N, N-donor spacer ( L ) with a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area of 216 m 2 g -1 . This material displays greater CO 2 adsorption capacity over N 2 and CH 4 with high IAST selectivity, which is also validated by breakthrough experiments with longer breakthrough times for CO 2 . Most importantly, the separation performance is largely unaffected in the presence of moisture of simulated flue gas stream. Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) analysis shows the ease of the regeneration process, and the performance was verified for multiple cycles. In order to understand the structure-function relationship at the atomistic level, grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) calculation was performed, indicating that the primary binding site for CO 2 is between the sulfone moieties in IITKGP-12 . CO 2 is attracted to the bonded structure (V-shape) of the sulfone moieties in a perpendicular fashion, where C CO 2 is aligned with S, and the CO 2 axis bisects the SO 2 axis. Thus, the strategic approach to immobilize the polar sulfone moiety with a high number of inherent stronger M-N coordination and the absence of coordination unsaturation made this MOF potential toward practical CO 2 separation applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.0c07380","authors":["Arun Pal","Santanu Chand","David G.

A combination of higher fuel prices, falling remittances following the return of nearly one million migrant workers, and weak domestic credit - stifled by a construction downturn and a lack of bankable projects - is constraining growth to a projected 3.9 percent in 2026, eroding real incomes, and threatening to push over one million people into poverty. Resilient foreign direct investment inflows and adequate international reserves provide near-term buffers, though they cannot substitute for reforms required to unlock long-term growth potential. Adding to this urgency, Cambodia’s working-age population share is projected to peak around 2043, leaving barely 17 years to convert its remaining demographic dividend into higher productivity and better jobs. The policy challenge is therefore twofold: cushion vulnerable households and preserve macro-financial stability now, while accelerating the human-capital, care-economy, trade, and labor-mobility reforms needed to secure Cambodia’s path to high-income status before its demographic window closes.

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is rapidly becoming a transformative tool in nephrology and medicine in general, which can be used in both inpatient and outpatient settings. With approximately 850 million people living with chronic kidney disease worldwide, POCUS offers nephrologists a real-time, non-invasive method to avoid diagnostic delays and accelerate complex treatment pathways. Its clinical applications include the assessment of hemodynamics, volume status, vascular access guidance, and dialysis-related complications. By improving clinical decision-making at the bedside and thereby reducing unnecessary testing and healthcare inefficiencies, POCUS can transform and implement nephrology practice. The inclusion of a certifiable, standardized POCUS curriculum in undergraduate medical education is a worthy and feasible goal. Early exposure to ultrasound-based diagnostic tools would greatly enhance nephrology education and equip future physicians with important skills that could transform clinical practice.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5527/wjn.v15.i2.109910","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5527/wjn.v15.i2.109910","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.659Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/cancers18010172","name":"Correction: Dhillon et al.

The circulation of cold CO 2 significantly lowers reservoir temperature and alters rock wettability, which threatens the long-term security of CO 2 sequestration by weakening the capillary sealing capacity of caprock. To address this concern, we investigate the mechanisms by which cooling-induced wettability alteration affects the capillary sealing capacity of CPG caprock and quantitatively evaluate the associated leakage risks. First, we propose a temperature-saturation dependent capillary pressure (TSPC) model to quantify the impact of temperature variations on caprock capillary sealing capacity. Subsequently, the TSPC model is integrated into our in-house numerical reservoir simulator to quantitatively assess CO 2 leakage for a field-scale CPG operation. Simulation results show that temperature reduction during CPG operation decreases capillary pressure by 45%-87%, which substantially undermines the ability of the caprock to prevent CO 2 upward breakthrough. The decline in capillary pressure weakens the sealing capacity and leads to nearly 50,000 tons of CO 2 leakage in a representative CPG reservoir simulation. The above results demonstrate a previously unrecognized CO 2 leakage mechanism in CPG systems caused by cooling-induced wettability alteration. In addition, we propose practical mitigation strategies to address this leakage risk and enhance the long-term security of CO 2 sequestration after CPG operations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5c08417","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1021/acs.est.5c08417","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.659Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.210Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jes.2025.12.029","name":"The transformation of China's iron and steel industry under carbon constraints: A balance between economy, emission reduction and technical feasibility.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The iron and steel industry (ISI) is a cornerstone of China's economy but also a major source of carbon emissions. Under the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, its low-carbon transition is both urgent and challenging. This paper reviews the development and emission profile of China's ISI and summarizes potential transition pathways. In the short term, emission reduction relies on scrap-based electric arc furnaces (EAF) and energy-efficiency improvements; in the medium to long term, hydrogen metallurgy and CCUS are essential. On the demand side, improvements in material efficiency and scrap recycling are equally critical. The study highlights the synergy effects between carbon mitigation and pollution reduction, demonstrating multiple environmental benefits. Future policies should focus on technological innovation, region-specific pathways, and institutional measures such as carbon trading and green finance. Overall, the green transformation of China's ISI is vital for achieving national climate goals and will have profound implications for global decarbonization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jes.2025.12.029","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.jes.2025.12.029","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.659Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/ajh.70205","name":"Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential and Clonal Cytopenias of Undetermined Significance: 2026 Update on Clinical Associations and Management Recommendations.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"CONDITION OVERVIEW: Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) refers to the presence of somatic variants in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) that result in expansion over time.

CLINICAL ASSOCIATIONS: CH is associated with increased risk for progressive cytopenias (also called clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance), hematological (predominantly myeloid but also lymphoid) neoplasms, cytosis (including monocytosis), and nonhematological conditions such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. CH is linked to numerous other diseases including venous thromboembolism, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoporosis, and gout, with a potential protective impact in Alzheimer's disease (AD). MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: CH detection is becoming increasingly common due to the ubiquitous use of somatic and germline sequencing in clinical practice, particularly, in oncology. The clinical implications of CH are most relevant in therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN), with antecedent CH clones in genes such as TP53, PPM1D, and/or CHEK2 having a clear selection advantage. Furthermore, genetic predisposition to CH has provided some clarity on the origin and evolution of CH. We are currently defining the role for CH assessment in individuals with persistent (≥ 4 months) unexplained cytopenias, in patients with malignancies prior to adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or radiation or radionuclide therapy, screening prior to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy, and to work-up potentially germline mosaic variants.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ajh.70205","authors":["Abhishek A.

DDX41 is a multifunctional DEAD-box RNA helicase that plays essential roles in pre-mRNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis, and innate immune regulation. Pathogenic germline variants predominantly cluster within the N-terminal region, whereas somatic second-hit mutations are concentrated in the C-terminal helicase domain. The characteristic \"two-hit\" model involves a germline loss-of-function mutation followed by a somatic variant-most commonly p.R525H-leading to malignant transformation. This process occurs through defective small nucleolar RNA processing, impaired ribosome assembly, erythropoietic abnormalities, and R-loop-mediated DNA damage. Clinically, the phenotype is consistent and characterized by late-onset disease in the sixth to seventh decades of life, a strong male predominance, hypocellular bone marrow, and normal cytogenetics. Despite these distinctive features, affected individuals generally exhibit favorable treatment responses and outcomes compared with sporadic cases. An important clinical consideration in DDX41-associated disease management is the planning of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, where genetic screening for DDX41 variants among potential related donors is essential. Future investigations should aim to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying DDX41-driven leukemogenesis, refine surveillance strategies, and develop targeted therapeutic approaches.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3904/kjim.2025.356","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3904/kjim.2025.356","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.659Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ijms27094043","name":"Hematopoietic Aging and Leukemia: Mechanistic and Therapeutic Insights.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Aging profoundly alters hematopoiesis by impairing stem cell self-renewal, skewing lineage differentiation, and remodeling immune and stromal compartments within the bone marrow.

Yet, the mechanisms by which CO 2 flooding and huff-and-puff (HNP) mobilize multicomponent shale oil in inorganic nanopores remain unclear, particularly regarding their respective contributions to oil recovery and CO 2 storage. Here, we employ molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to compare CO 2 flooding and HNP in calcite dead-end nanopores saturated with a multicomponent hydrocarbon mixture. We analyze interfacial and transport behaviors, extract localized molecular clusters to quantify self-diffusion coefficients, and examine the roles of flood and flowback pressures. Results show that flooding promotes greater CO 2 penetration into nanopores but suppresses counter-current hydrocarbon migration, limiting swelling-driven recovery. In contrast, HNP enables CO 2 diffusion during the huff stage and reverse pressure gradients during the puff stage, which enhance oil swelling and achieve higher recovery at the expense of lower storage efficiency. Elevated CO 2 density increases the diffusion coefficients of all components, underscoring the critical roles of pressure gradients and molecular transport. By extracting localized molecular clusters, we further obtained pressure-dependent diffusion bounds for CO 2 and hydrocarbons and quantify injection and flowback pressure windows that jointly optimize oil recovery and the CO 2 storage efficiency. On this basis, we propose a well-count-agnostic and field translatable hybrid method that achieves 60.44% oil recovery and 47.18% CO 2 storage efficiency. These findings provide molecular-scale guidance for full-process CCUS design in unconventional reservoirs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.5c05534","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1021/acs.langmuir.5c05534","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.659Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.210Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12872-025-05365-5","name":"Associations between perceived social support, self-efficacy, and health-promoting behaviors in hospitalized heart failure patients: a cross-sectional study.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Heart failure is a major health challenge requiring long-term management. The current study pursed the goal to discover the relationship between perceived social support with self-efficacy and health-promoting behaviors in patients hospitalized in cardiac care units. METHOD: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 193 patients with heart failure (EF ≤ 35, NYHA class I/II) participating in the study at south of Iran in 2024 using a convenience sampling method. The data were collected with three standard questionnaires: Sullivan Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale (α = 0.93), Cheraghi's Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) (α = 0.87), and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile(HPLP-II) (α = 0.86). The data were analyzed via SPSS-26 using descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential tests (Pearson). RESULTS: As the results divulged, perceived social support was significantly associated with self-efficacy and health-promoting behaviors in heart failure patients (P < 0.001). The highest correlation was reported between emotional support and self-efficacy (r = 0.9) and also between instrumental support and stress management at the dimensional level (r = 0.558).

Here, we employ two global energy system models to explore energy system transformations and the challenges and opportunities associated with attaining a full phase-out of fossil fuels.

This transition from cost-effective to fossil fuel phase-out pathways would increase energy supply investments by up to 34% over this century and require accelerated deployment of solar and wind power, as well as electrolysers. Despite opportunities including lower reliance on carbon dioxide removal and increasing probability of returning to 1.5 °C after temperature overshoot, these additional requirements imply that international society must approach the transition towards zero-fossil energy systems with strong determination.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-72841-7","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41467-026-72841-7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.659Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1136/bmjoq-2025-003838","name":"Enhancing hand hygiene compliance to reduce healthcare-associated infections in a coronary care unit: a quality improvement initiative in a tertiary hospital in South India.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Background Healthcare-associated infections remain a major concern in critical care environments.

Methods From August to December 2023, a QI project was implemented in Coronary Care Units (CCU) at KLE's Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital. Using the Point of Care Quality Improvement (PoCQI) methodology, a multidisciplinary team applied WHO's multimodal HH strategy through iterative Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles. Interventions included: (1) installation of centralised scrub stations with sterile footwear, (2) bedside multilingual posters, (3) structured staff training with night-shift monitoring and (4) real-time observation with feedback supported by leadership engagement. Weekly HH compliance and infection outcomes were tracked. Results Five PDSA cycles were conducted. Mean HH compliance improved from a baseline of 63.8% to 80.5% by week 20, reflecting a 26.7% relative increase and remained above 78% through week 30, confirming sustained gains postintervention. No methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus , Pseudomonas or Klebsiella infections were reported during the intervention period. Blood culture positivity after 48 hours of CCU stay remained at 0%. Mortality trends varied and showed no consistent pattern attributable to the intervention. Conclusions Integrating WHO's multimodal strategy with PoCQI led to a significant, low-cost improvement in HH compliance in a high-risk setting.

Clay minerals, as dominant diagenetic components in sedimentary formations, play a crucial role in CO 2 geological sequestration owing to their large surface area and strong adsorption capacity. In this study, the adsorption and sequestration mechanisms of CO 2 on typical clay minerals, including illite and kaolinite, were systematically investigated under geological temperature and pressure conditions representative of the eastern Junggar Basin using grand canonical Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations. The results demonstrate that CO 2 adsorption capacity is governed by the coupled effects of mineral type, pore size, temperature, and pressure. Illite exhibits approximately 1.4 times higher CO 2 storage capacity than kaolinite, attributed to its stronger thermodynamic affinity and higher adsorption heat. Elevated temperature reduces CO 2 adsorption, whereas increased pressure promotes it. In micropores smaller than 2 nm, confinement effects dominate and yield stable monolayer adsorption, while in mesopores, multilayer adsorption and coexistence of adsorbed and free CO 2 phases occur as the pore size increases. The adsorbed phase proportion is consistently higher in illite, implying more stable and efficient CO 2 trapping. These findings provide molecular-level insights into CO 2 -clay mineral interactions and establish a theoretical foundation for evaluating storage capacity, trapping stability, and caprock integrity, offering practical guidance for the safe and efficient implementation of CO 2 geological sequestration projects in the eastern Junggar Basin, China.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c11645","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1021/acsomega.5c11645","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.659Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.210Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41588-026-02504-2","name":"Modeling the evolutionary dynamics of clonal hematopoiesis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) results from the acquisition and expansion of somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and is associated with age-related clinical sequelae, including an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, myeloid neoplasms and complications related to cancer therapy.

The research addresses the critical need for accurate oil recovery efficiency (RF%) prediction by developing and deploying robust data-driven models. Linear regression quantified the impact of nine key parameters across three injection patterns. A pivotal finding from numerical simulation was the ranking of Ultimate Oil Recovery (UOR) for each pattern under identical conditions: Peripheral flooding achieved the highest recovery at 44.7%, followed by Staggered Line Drive (SLD) at 39.4%, and the 5-Spot pattern at 33.7%. Our ML models demonstrated exceptional predictive accuracy, with R² scores of 0.974, 0.972, and 0.953 for the respective patterns, and a correspondingly low RMSE range of 0.0057-0.0085. Permutation importance analysis quantified the dominant influence of residual oil saturation (Sor), accounting for 38-42% of predictive power. Crucially, the models revealed distinct, pattern-dependent control parameters: injection rate (WINJ) showed markedly higher sensitivity in the Peripheral pattern (23% contribution), while API gravity was the second most important feature for the 5-Spot pattern (18% contribution).

Ageist attitudes and behaviors in nurses may affect care quality, patient health, and care willingness. Ageism, referring to prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination against individuals or groups based on their age, has been widely studied in the literature, primarily in non-East Asian countries, and few studies have been designed to investigate ageism and ageist behaviors among hospital nurses in Taiwan. Purpose This study was designed to investigate ageism and ageist behaviors among hospital nurses and identify the factors associated with ageist behaviors. Methods A cross-sectional approach was used, and 359 nurses in Taiwan were enrolled as participants. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire comprising sociodemographic characteristics, the Fraboni Scale of Ageism (FSA), and Relating to Older People Evaluation (ROPE). Results The mean FSA scale score was 68.77 ± 8.83 and the mean proportion of ROPE was 0.39 ± 0.13, with 0.51 ± 0.16 for positive ageist behaviors and 0.34 ± 0.15 for negative ageist behaviors. Age, working unit, having taken age-related courses at school, and aging anxiety were all shown to relate significantly to ageist behaviors. In addition, a significant association was found between ageism and ageist behaviors. Predictors of ageist behaviors include age, working unit, having taken age-related courses at school, and ageism. Conclusions The findings of this study indicate discriminatory attitudes and behaviors toward older adults exist among hospital nurses and that nurses who are older, work in operating rooms or critical care units, have not taken age-related courses in school, or have higher levels of ageism are at higher relative risk of exhibiting ageist behaviors. The findings of this study may be used to guide nursing managers in developing tailored interventions for nurses across different age groups and work units to effectively prevent or mitigate ageist behaviors. Furthermore, nursing educators may use this information to design age-related courses to enhance student awareness of ageist behaviors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/jnr.0000000000000743","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1097/jnr.0000000000000743","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.659Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.210Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/cancers18091326","name":"Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP): A Model of Mutation-Driven Thromboinflammation.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Clonal hematopoiesis refers to the clonal expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, driven by somatic mutations. Major mutated genes in clonal hematopoiesis include genes involved in epigenetic regulation including DNA methylation and/or chromatin modification (e.g., DNMT3A , TET2 , and ASXL1 ), tumor suppressors (e.g., TP53 ), signal transduction (e.g., JAK2 ), and RNA splicing (e.g., SF3B1 and SRSF2 ). Clonal hematopoiesis includes clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), clonal cytopenia of unknown significance (CCUS), and myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS). CHIP occurs when the frequency of the variant allele equals or exceeds 2% (4% for X-linked genes in males) in the absence of cytopenias. CHIP is common among older persons and is associated with an increased risk of hematologic cancer. CHIP is also associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic disease including acute myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiac failure, and abdominal aneurysm. Increasing evidence suggests that CHIP is associated with venous thromboembolic disease. Somatic mutations lead to proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells and their progeny, resulting in excessive activation of granulocytes and monocytes. It could be postulated that chronic inflammation caused by clonal expansion of myeloid cells carrying mutations in DNMT3A , TET2 , and ASXL1 (\"DTA\") genes may constitute an independent risk factor in clot formation and endothelial-cell damage. DTA mutations correlate with elevated proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-6 and enhanced activation of inflammasomes. Moreover, JAK2 mutations may have a direct role in the activation of platelets and coagulation. In vivo murine studies have demonstrated that activation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway promotes neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, contributing to a prothrombotic state. Insights from related clonal disorders such as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and the VEXAS syndrome support the concept that mutation-driven innate immune activation can directly perturb hemostatic balance. This review aims to summarize the association between clonal expansion of hematopoietic cells and thrombotic disease, and highlight how somatic mutations in hematopoietic cells may contribute to vascular disease and thrombogenesis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers18091326","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/cancers18091326","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.659Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/adma.202512774","name":"Unveiling Hydrogen Coverage on Ru Nanoparticles Through Modeling and Experiments.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Understanding metal-hydrogen interactions is essential in catalysis research.

Of the 131 patients assessed for eligibility, 108 were enrolled and randomly assigned to three groups: hand reflexology, foot reflexology, and control. Reflexology sessions were performed twice daily over three consecutive days. Anxiety was evaluated using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and pain was measured with the visual analog scale. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and paired t -tests, with a significance level of P < 0.05. Results: No significant differences were found among the groups regarding demographic or baseline clinical characteristics ( P > 0.05), confirming initial group homogeneity. Following the intervention, both the hand and foot reflexology groups showed significant reductions in state and trait anxiety scores ( P < 0.001), while the control group exhibited no significant changes.

It is associated with reduced clinical performance, increased medical errors, and inconsistent adherence to safety measures, all increasing the risk of adverse outcomes for patients. Addressing emotional exhaustion by healthcare providers is, therefore, deemed essential for enhancing patient safety and improving the overall quality of care. The present study aims to determine the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on mitigating emotional exhaustion among critical care nurses. Materials and methods A quasi-experimental design was conducted on 90 critical care nurses using a repeated measures approach from June 7, 2024 to November 13, 2024. The study was carried out in Al-Hussein Medical City and Imam Al-Hassan Al-Mujtaba Teaching Hospital in the Holy Karbala. The participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The data collection instrument was the emotional exhaustion subscale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey. The participants in the intervention group attended an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) program.

Ambidextrous leadership, which integrates explorative and exploitative styles, may enhance nurses’ innovation capacity. AIM: To examine the influence of ambidextrous leadership behaviors on innovative work behavior among critical care nurses. METHODS: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted with 360 nurses in critical care units at a major educational hospital in Egypt. Data was collected over 2 months in 2024 using the Ambidextrous Leadership Questionnaire and the Innovative Behavior Inventory. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression analyses were used to assess relationships between study variables. RESULTS: The mean score for nurses’ perception of ambidextrous leadership was 40.10 ± 5.69, and for innovative work behavior was 66.03 ± 8.35. Both values reflect moderate levels. Ambidextrous leadership was positively correlated with IWB (r = 0.483, p < 0.001). Exploitative leadership showed a stronger correlation with IWB (r = 0.466) compared with explorative leadership (r = 0.381). Regression analysis further confirmed that ambidextrous leadership significantly predicted IWB (β = 0.304, R² = 0.625, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Ambidextrous leadership is a significant driver of innovative behavior among critical care nurses. By balancing creativity with clinical discipline, nurse leaders can foster innovation without compromising care quality. These findings highlight the importance of developing ambidextrous leadership skills to promote innovation in critical care practice.

To date, two candidate membrane materials-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based membranes-have been used. As for PEG-based membrane materials, the effect of operating conditions, such as relative humidity in feed gas and sweep gas and operating pressure, on CO 2 separation performance were investigated. Both CO 2 permeance and selectivity increased with increasing relative humidity on both the feed and permeate sides. The CO 2 permeance increased from the 10 -12 to the 10 -11 order, while the selectivity increased from 2.8 to 25.

Nevertheless, evidence regarding the overall level of medication literacy and the factors influencing it in this population remains limited. This study aimed to systematically evaluate medication literacy levels among patients with CVDs and to identify associated factors based on the Health Ecological Model (HEM). Methods This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and the Vertically Integrated Projects database (VIP) for studies published in English or Chinese from database inception to 30 December 2025. Two reviewers independently performed study selection, quality assessment, data extraction, and analysis. Mean medication literacy scores and corresponding effect sizes were pooled using meta-analysis in Stata 18.0. Random-effects models were applied for all analyses due to substantial heterogeneity across studies. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I 2 test. Sensitivity analyses and publication bias were also assessed. Results A total of 34 studies involving 9,599 patients were included. Of these, 30 studies reported medication literacy levels. Given the substantial heterogeneity observed across all instrument subgroups, random-effects models were applied for pooling. The pooled mean scores were as follows: the Medication Literacy Questionnaire (MLQ): 4.56 [95% CI (4.36, 4.77), I 2 = 95.7%]; the Medication Literacy Scale in Spanish and English (MedLitRxSE): 7.49 [95% CI (6.46, 8.52), I 2 = 97.7%]; and the Chinese Medication Literacy Scale for Hypertensive Patients (C-MLSHP): 24.09 [95% CI (23.72, 24.45), I 2 = 64.2%]. Twenty-four studies reported factors associated with medication literacy. Significant factors included age, department of hospitalization, comorbid hypertension, and number of discharge medications (personal traits); self-efficacy (psychological and behavioral characteristics); social support (social networking); income level and educational attainment (work and living conditions); and receipt of medication education (policy and environmental factors). Conclusion Medication literacy among patients with CVDs remains suboptimal and is influenced by multidimensional factors. Individualized patient education, standardized counseling protocols, community-based services, and healthcare provider training are urgently needed. Multilevel interventions grounded in the HEM hold promise for improving medication use and informing policy development. Future large-scale, longitudinal studies employing standardized assessment tools are needed to elucidate causal relationships, underlying mechanisms, and sources of heterogeneity.

Study design A cross-sectional observational study was conducted. Data were collected through validated self-report questionnaires assessing TDP, coping strategies, anxiety and depression. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, correlation analyses and multiple linear regression. Results 110 CCU patients took part in the study. Type D personality was identified in (n = 32.5%) of participants. Patients with TDP demonstrated significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression and more frequent use of maladaptive coping strategies. Regression analyses revealed that TDP and avoidant coping were independent predictors of anxiety and depression scores, explaining a significant proportion of variance in emotional outcomes. Conclusions Nurse-led psychosocial screening for TDP is feasible in the CCU setting and provides valuable information for identifying patients at risk of poor emotional recovery. Integrating this assessment into nursing care may promote holistic management and improve psychological support during cardiac rehabilitation.

The study investigates CO 2 sequestration mechanisms and evaluates potential and favorable zones for sequestration. The results show that CO 2 sequestration mechanisms vary with temperature and pressure conditions. Specifically, adsorption dominates in the middle-deep subcritical zones but decreases with depth, while free-phase sequestration increases in the deep supercritical zone. Regarding model applicability, the BET model best fits supercritical CO 2 adsorption, effectively capturing the sharp adsorption increase near the critical point. Quantitative assessments indicate that the optimal sequestration depth is 800-1100 m, with a total sequestration potential of 575.5 Mt, 65.4% of which is in the deep supercritical zone. The supercritical zone's sequestration abundance reaches 956.1 × 10 3 t/km 2 , representing a 53.5% increase over the subcritical zone.

In coronary care unit (CCU) populations, healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur relatively infrequently, limiting the feasibility of conventional multivariable predictive modeling. Methods : A retrospectively assembled CCU cohort comprising 870 patients with 16 HAI events (1.8%) was used as an illustrative example to examine methodological constraints associated with low events-per-variable (EPV) ratios. The implications of limited event frequency for multivariable logistic regression were evaluated, including risks of overfitting, coefficient instability, and reduced reproducibility. As an alternative strategy, a prespecified cumulative additive framework integrating baseline vulnerability and exposure-related variables was conceptually and analytically explored. Results : With four candidate predictors and 16 outcome events, the resulting EPV was approximately four, indicating a high risk of instability for conventional multivariable modeling. The cumulative framework allowed structured cumulative stratification without coefficient optimization. Infection occurrence increased progressively across cumulative framework levels, illustrating a graded pattern of increasing HAI occurrence with accumulating vulnerability and exposure-related burden. Conclusions : In clinical datasets with limited outcome events, modeling strategies should be aligned with the informational capacity of the data. Cumulative additive frameworks may represent a pragmatic structural alternative to coefficient-based modeling approaches in rare-event clinical settings.

The taxonomy successfully identified subgroups with distinct clinical characteristics and disease progression patterns. However, incorporating gene interactions from taxonomy subgroups did not improve the prognostic performance of the Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-M). We further assessed whether the taxonomy could guide management in patients receiving disease-modifying therapies. Except for the \" TP53 -complex\" subgroup, taxonomy classifications were not predictive of hypomethylating agent response or transplant outcomes. Nonetheless, they correlated with overall survival, suggesting that while both IPSS-M and the taxonomy capture disease biology, other non-genetic factors may influence treatment response. RNA sequencing confirmed the biological distinctiveness of the taxonomy groups. Transcriptomic profiling of CD34+ bone marrow cells revealed unique, homogeneous gene expression patterns, particularly within the AML-like, bi TET2 , SF3B1 , and TP53 -complex subgroups. Further integration of multi-omics data may refine MDS classification, improving clinical decision-making and guiding the development of targeted therapies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/hem3.70406","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/hem3.70406","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.659Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.pecinn.2026.100471","name":"Cross-cultural validation and psychometric evaluation of the revised emancipated decision-making scale in Portuguese pregnant women.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Objective Active participation in healthcare decisions during childbirth is strongly associated with greater satisfaction and improved health outcomes. Shared decision-making is particularly critical in women's health, where choices have often been shaped by patriarchal norms and a historically paternalistic healthcare system. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of a culturally adapted Portuguese version of the Revised Emancipated Decision-Making Scale (EDMr) for use among pregnant women. Methods A two-phase methodological approach was employed, involving the cultural adaptation of the instrument and the assessment of its psychometric properties in a non-probabilistic sample of 241 pregnant women in Portugal. Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were performed on separate subsamples to enhance methodological rigor. Results The original three-factor model evolved into a five-factor structure: Personal Knowledge, Flexible Environment (subdivided into Feeling Supported and Feeling Respected), and Social Norms (subdivided into Sense of Pressure and Negative Reactions). The final model demonstrated solid psychometric properties, with acceptable to high internal consistency across subscales, with Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.68 (Sense of Pressure) to 0.86 (Personal Knowledge).

Methods This multicenter, prospective national registry analysis included 540 consecutive AF patients from 50 CCU centers across seven geographic regions in Turkey (MORCOR-TURK National Registry; September 1-30, 2022). Patients were categorized as pre-existing AF (documented AF prior to or at admission) or newly diagnosed AF (first detected during hospitalization).

Multivariable logistic regression identified independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. Results Pre-existing AF ( n = 324) had higher prevalences of diabetes mellitus (42.3% vs. 31.5%; p = 0.012) and acute coronary syndromes (58.6% vs. 34.7%; p n = 216) more frequently presented with heart failure (45.8% vs. 28.4%; p p p p p = 0.003).

Single-component solid waste mineralization, such as those using only fly ash (FA) or carbide slag (CS), often encounters performance bottlenecks, typically characterized by a compressive strength of less than 2 MPa and a carbonation efficiency of under 10%. Furthermore, a systematic quantitative understanding of the synergistic interactions within multi-component systems remains absent. This study employs Response Surface Methodology to investigate the interactive effects of solid waste ratios, the water-to-solid ratio, and alkali content, aiming to elucidate the synergistic mineralization mechanism and overcome the bottlenecks of single solid waste mineralization. Under optimized conditions-specifically, 34% CS, 30% phosphogypsum (PG), a water-to-solid ratio of 0.48, and an alkali content of 27%-the system achieved a 7-day compressive strength of 3.5 MPa and a CO 2 mineralization efficiency of approximately 16%, representing a significant improvement over typical single solid waste mineralization materials. Microstructural and spectroscopic analyses indicate that CS serves a dual function as both a calcium source for CaCO 3 precipitation and an alkaline activator for FA. FA constructs a dense aluminosilicate network via pozzolanic reactions, while SO 4 2- released from PG promotes the formation of ettringite, facilitating efficient pore filling and early strength development. Additionally, it was observed that surface pores were filled with more products compared to the interior, forming a gradient pore structure that is dense on the outside and sparse on the inside. The AFt and silicate gel were identified as the key microstructural driver for the performance enhancement. This study not only explores the ternary synergistic mechanism of FA, CS, and PG but also provides a viable pathway for developing high-performance solid waste-based mineralization materials that combine mechanical properties with efficient CO 2 sequestration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ma19102145","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/ma19102145","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:25.659Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.210Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391700389","name":"Research on Reducing the Amount of Chelating Agent Additives by Carbonation Treatment of Incineration Fly Ash and Lead Elution Behavior at a Low Liquid-solid Ratio","source":"openalex","abstract":"廃棄物・資源循環分野でも CCUS に関する取り組みが活発になる中で，焼却灰の炭酸化処理は炭酸塩の形成による CO2 固定と同時に鉛等の溶出抑制も期待できる技術である。ただし，重金属溶出濃度の高い焼却飛灰において確実な不溶化を行うには薬剤処理との併用が望ましい。本研究では産業廃棄物および一般廃棄物の焼却飛灰について炭酸化およびキレート剤添加を組み合わせた場合の鉛溶出抑制効果を検証し，キレート剤使用量の削減可能性について検討した。また，鉛溶出促進が懸念される高塩濃度条件下についても低液固比での溶出試験 (浸漬遠沈試験) により検証を行なった。その結果，炭酸化後にキレート剤添加を行うことで，キレート剤を削減できる可能性が示された。また，低液固比による高塩濃度条件下では，一部の飛灰において炭酸化による鉛溶出促進がみられたが，キレート剤と組み合わせることで同条件下でも溶出抑制が可能であることが示唆された。","url":"https://doi.org/10.3985/jjsmcwm.34.113","authors":["Haruna Kochi","Hiroshi Kubota","Koga Shigeizumi","Shota Masaki","Shigetoshi Ikeda","Yasuyuki Kawai","Yoshikazu Nagao","Mitsuhiro Inoue","Hirofumi Sakanakura"],"tags":["Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3985/jjsmcwm.34.113","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406892005","name":"Recent catalytic advances in the production of adipic acid and its esters from bio-based C6 molecules and carbon dioxide","source":"openalex","abstract":"Adipic acid (AA), used in the manufacture of nylon-6,6, polyurethane, and plasticizers, is derived from multi-stage processing of petrochemical resources, posing serious harms to human being and environment.

Process simulations were conducted in Aspen Plus V12.1, techno-economic analysis (TEA) via NREL’s H2A model, and cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) in OpenLCA with TRACI 2.1 and the Cumulative Energy Demand (CED) methods. The plant processes 1500 dry ton/day feedstock, yielding ~136–140 tons/day pure H2. TEA results show co-gasification without CCS achieves the lowest levelized cost of H2 (LCOH) at 2.18 USD/kg, 7% below biomass-only (2.34 USD/kg), due to reduced feedstock demand and improved efficiency. CCS increases LCOH by 30–36% (2.98–3.18 USD/kg), but 70 USD/t CO2 credits reduce it to 1.74–1.81 USD/kg, competitive with gray H2. Sensitivity and Monte Carlo analyses highlight capacity factor and feedstock as key drivers, with co-gasification narrowing uncertainties. LCA reveals co-gasification lowers most impacts by 5–10%, while CCS enables net-negative GWP (−12.3 to −14.7 kg CO2 eq/kg H2) but raises CED by 15%. Scenario 4 balances economic viability and climate mitigation, supporting circular economy principles through waste valorization. Findings affirm co-gasification with CCS as a promising pathway for low-carbon H2, with policy incentives critical for deployment.

These studies focused on the properties of CO 2 and CH 4, their adsorption and diffusion under high temperature and high pressure, the interactions of CO 2 with tight sandstone and formation water, and the displacement efficiency of the CO 2 injection in long core samples. The results show that under reservoir conditions, the adsorption capacity of CO 2 in tight sandstone is nearly four times higher than that of CH 4, and its diffusion capacity is also four times higher. This enables CO 2 to replace adsorbed CH 4 through competitive adsorption. Due to the greater density of CO 2 compared to CH 4, gravitational differentiation causes CO 2 to sink below CH 4, pushing CH 4 upward in the reservoir. This process facilitates the sequestration of CO 2 and enhances the recovery of natural gas. Additionally, CO 2 injection dissolves feldspar and calcite in dense sandstone minerals, generating kaolinite, iron dolomite, and chlorite. The dissolution effect exceeds precipitation, leading to an increase in permeability by 73.25 to 91.15% and an increase in porosity by 0.65 to 0.72%. This improves the reservoir’s seepage characteristics, reduces the minimum flow pressure of liquids in the pores, decreases water-phase trapping damage, and ultimately increases gas recovery.

A small prototype pulsed ultraviolet (PUV) light recirculation system was designed, and its depuration potential was tested in a seawater matrix artificially contaminated with high levels of microbial pathogens Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, Bacillus cereus and Candida albicans. The analysis of treatment parameters including voltage, number of pulses and duration of treatment was performed to ensure the highest reduction in contaminant levels. Optimal PUV disinfection was attained at 60 pulses/min at 1 kV for 10 min (a UV output of 12.9 J/cm2).

The simulation results demonstrated that the Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) configuration achieved a single-pass CO2 conversion of 21.4% at 250 °C and 50 bar, highlighting the baseline challenge of equilibrium limitations in a conventional setup. Furthermore, the implementation of Heat Integration via a Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) and the Vanden Bussche-Froment (VBF) kinetic equation significantly reduced the total external heating utility requirement by utilizing the sensible heat of the hot reactor effluent.

This paper describes the results of experimental comparative research and estimation of energy and time consumption for two drive systems of a hydraulic indirect elevator. The purpose of this article is to compare the energy consumption of a typical multi-valve system (MV) system with that of an innovative new electro-hydraulic drive (EHD) system with a variable speed pump. The EHD system uses a frequency converter with an energy recovery module to control the speed of the car in both directions and the return of potential energy during the lowering cycle. The comparison of these drive systems was performed under the same conditions, realizing the same elevator work cycles. This paper proposes methods for estimating the energy consumption of an MV system based on measurement data collected during an experiment. The results indicate that the EHD system was less energy-intensive, even at below 60%. The smaller the load mass, the shorter the operating time of the EHD system compared to the MV system. The introduced coefficients defining the energy consumption per unit of mass and payload displacement showed more than twice the decrease in energy demand during lifting and energy recovery possibility during lowering. The EHD system provides the same coefficient values regardless of the distance traveled, which makes it a predictable system, in contrast to the MV system, especially during lowering cycles. The benefits of the EHD also include a less complex hydraulic system (elimination of most valves).","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18092163","authors":["Łukasz Stawiński","Andrzej Kosucki","Justyna Skowrońska","Piotr Malenta"],"tags":["Elevator","Automotive engineering","Environmental science","Efficient energy use","Engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18092163","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W7108675860","name":"BIOMARCADORES NO CÂNCER DO COLO DO ÚTERO: A BIOMEDICINA E ENFERMAGEM JUNTAS NO DIAGNÓSTICO PRECOCE","source":"openalex","abstract":"INTRODUÇÃO: O CÂNCER DO COLO DO ÚTERO (CCU) É UM PROBLEMA DE SAÚDE PÚBLICA BRASILEIRO, SENDO A QUARTA CAUSA DE MORTE POR CÂNCER FEMININO, COM MAIOR IMPACTO NAS REGIÕES NORTE E NORDESTE.

In addition, the limestone industry is currently classified within the same category as the cement industry. Therefore, when allocating emission allowances for greenhouse gas, it is possible that a low adjustment factor will be applied for the limestone industry due to differences in the industrial scale, raw materials, and product characteristics.

The long noncoding RNA growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) is a member of the 5'-terminal oligopyrimidine gene family that may be involved in neurological disorders, but its role in Alzheimer's disease remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the function of GAS5 and construct a GAS5-associated competitive endogenous RNA network comprising potential targets. RNA sequencing results showed that GAS5 was upregulated in five familial Alzheimer's disease (5×FAD) mice, APPswe/PSEN1dE9 (APP/PS1) mice, Alzheimer's disease-related APPswe cells, and serum from patients with Alzheimer's disease. Functional experiments with targeted overexpression and silencing demonstrated that GAS5 played a role in cognitive dysfunction and multiple Alzheimer's disease-associated pathologies, including tau hyperphosphorylation, amyloid-beta accumulation, and neuronal apoptosis. Mechanistic studies indicated that GAS5 acted as an endogenous sponge by competing for microRNA-23b-3p (miR-23b-3p) binding to regulate its targets glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK-3β) and phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) expression in an Argonaute 2-induced RNA silencing complex (RISC)-dependent manner. GAS5 inhibited miR-23b-3p-mediated GSK-3β and PTEN cascades with a feedforward PTEN/protein kinase B (Akt)/GSK-3β linkage. Furthermore, recovery of GAS5/miR-23b-3p/GSK-3β/PTEN pathways relieved Alzheimer's disease-like symptoms in vivo , indicated by the amelioration of spatial cognition, neuronal degeneration, amyloid-beta load, and tau phosphorylation. Together, these findings suggest that GAS5 promotes Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. This study establishes the functional convergence of the GAS5/miR-23b-3p/GSK-3β/PTEN pathway on multiple pathologies, suggesting a candidate therapeutic target in Alzheimer's disease.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/nrr.nrr-d-23-01273","authors":["Li Zeng","Kaiyue Zhao","Jianghong Liu","Mimin Liu","Zhongdi Cai","Ting Sun","Zhuorong Li","Rui Liu"],"tags":["PTEN","GAS5","Tensin","Biology","Gene silencing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.4103/nrr.nrr-d-23-01273","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4408846760","name":"Subsurface fracture network characterization for a CO 2 basalt mineralization target: new insight on fluid flow from wellbore logs for the Jizan Group","source":"openalex","abstract":"Permanent CO 2 storage in altered basalts, which may have lost most of their primary porosity and permeability, is facilitated by subsurface fractures, governing the fluid flow inside the storage reservoir. A successful pilot test demonstrated the in situ CO 2 mineralization potential of the highly fractured basaltic rocks of the Jizan Group in SW Saudi Arabia. We characterize the subsurface fracture networks utilizing image logs acquired from the wells drilled at the pilot site. The hydraulic connectivity and circulation pathways between the injector and producer wells are inferred by combining the fracture distribution, mechanical aperture at the wellbore walls, fracture persistence between the two wells and data acquired from flowmeter logs. Five fracture sets were identified with the most abundant one striking NW–SE and dipping 50–60° towards the SW and NE. Furthermore, an abundance of stress-induced wellbore breakouts reveals a NW–SE direction of the present-day maximum horizontal stress axis. This orientation is consistent with the regional tectonics and it is sub-parallel to the mechanically open fractures, a favourable orientation for fluid flow. Outcrop studies and subsurface data reveal primary rock layers tilting towards the SW and an extensive presence of NE-dipping faults and NW–SE-striking fractures. These observations are consistent with the Jizan Group fracture network characteristics in outcrops. Although, on the surface, the fracture sets that strike in different directions suggest and/or display high interconnectivity, flowmeter logs reveal that despite the basalts being pervasively fractured, fluid flow in the subsurface seems to be controlled predominantly by three fracture zones with wide mechanical apertures. Despite that, our findings align with the positive results from the pilot test, confirming that the subsurface at the site possesses sufficient permeability to transmit injected H 2 O–CO 2 fluid along preferential flow paths, primarily through fractures with wide mechanical apertures. This suggests that the Jizan Group is a good target for in situ CO 2 mineralization in basalt, owing to its extensive fracture network and the presence of highly permeable fluid flow zones, which enable carbonated waters to flow and react with a significant volume of rock.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1144/geoenergy2024-037","authors":["Niccolò Menegoni","Jakub Fedorik","Yuri Panara","Davide Berno","Mouadh Addassi","Abdirizak Omar","Éric H.

In the March 2020 spring budget statement the UK Government committed a minimum spending of £800million to promote the development of CCS and help address the concerns regarding the cost of CCS. Here we find that a Government investment of £1.75billion in critical CO2 transport and storage infrastructure over a 6 year period can be an effective stimulus to the economy while importantly laying the foundations for reducing emissions from key industries over the coming decades. Ultimately, the cumulative 30-year GDP boost associated with the investment equates to around £0.2million of cumulative GDP per £million spent in a time frame up to 2026. Importantly given current COVID -19 related circumstances, the investment can lead to the almost immediate creation of thousands jobs in a number of sectors. Over a 6 year period the job creation associated with the expansion leads to an additional 3,850 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs in the first year, between 2,250 and 2,670 additional FTE jobs in each of the subsequent 4 years, and 1,700 in 2026. The societal return is the transitory creation of one additional job per £1million spend in the 6 year time frame. As is common with any large public investment, consideration should be given to the subsequent effects on prices and exports which may be constrained as a result. Beyond our analysis, a key question remains how a large-scale operational CCS sector can constitute a fiscally and economically sustainable return to public and private sector investments. Could CCS provide a sustained financial contribution by helping to sustain industrial activity, maintain employment, minimises potential losses in productivity, and prevent offshoring of industries, emissions and jobs while crucially allowing key industries to reduce their emissions in line with targets set out in UK law?","url":"https://doi.org/10.17868/72886","authors":["Karen Turner","Antonios Katris","Julia Race","Jamie Stewart"],"tags":["Investment (military)","Business","Government (linguistics)","Economic recovery","Economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.17868/72886","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403482746","name":"Sustainable Formate Production via Highly Active CO2 Hydrogenation Using Porous Organometallic Polymer with Ru‐PNP Active Sites","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Efforts to combine the advantages of homogeneous catalysts in terms of activity with the ease of separation process offered by heterogeneous catalysts continue to be actively pursued in the field of catalyst development.

This study evaluates a sustainable urea production pathway that utilizes hydrogen generated from water electrolysis for green ammonia synthesis and CO 2 captured from a cement plant using an MEA-based process. This study employed Aspen Plus V12.1 and MATLAB to develop rigorous system-level models of all subsystems involved in the sustainable urea production process. These subsystems include a cryogenic air separation unit (CASU), a modular system of alkaline electrolysers (AEL), a green Haber-Bosch (HB) process, an MEA-based CO 2 capture system, and the Stamicarbon process. To enhance the energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness of urea production, waste heat generated during green ammonia synthesis in the HB process was integrated into the stripper column of the MEA-based CO 2 capture system for solvent regeneration. A detailed economic analysis was conducted to assess the impact of this heat integration (HI) on reducing the CO 2 capture costs and, consequently, the overall urea production costs. Additionally, several heat supply scenarios were evaluated to meet the heat demand of the CO 2 stripper column in the Stamicarbon process. These included natural gas combustion, a cascade heat pump (HP), and natural gas combustion integrated with a cryogenic CO 2 capture (CCC) system. The results indicated that HI significantly decreases both the energy penalty and costs of the MEA-based CO 2 capture process, reducing the CO 2 capture costs by 41.27 % in 2024 and lowering the energy penalty by 50.40 %. Among the scenarios investigated, the cascade HP with HI proved to be the most cost-effective option for urea production. Additionally, electricity costs for operating the modular alkaline electrolyzers (AEL) dominate the sustainable urea production expenses, with 88.07 %–91.26 % of electricity costs allocated to AEL, depending on the selected production scenario. The modular AEL also represents the largest share of initial investment costs, accounting for 90.62 % of total capital expenditures in the urea production process.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2025.150154","authors":["Hossein Asgharian","Albert Pujol Duran","Ali Yahyaee","Valeria Pignataro","Mads Pagh Nielsen","Florin Iov","Vincenzo Liso"],"tags":["Process integration","Cement","Electrification","Production (economics)","Process (computing)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2025.150154","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401725970","name":"Risk Factors and Outcomes of Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Observational Single-Center Study","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery is a well-described phenomenon, usually associated with hemodynamic changes ultimately leading to ischemic injury to the kidneys. In this study, we assessed the occurrence of AKI in a cohort of patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery at a single center. Methods: Patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/or valve repair) between the years 2016 and 2022 were retrospectively included in the study. Results: During the study, 167 patients underwent CABG, valve replacement, or both procedures. The majority were male (85.0%). Post-operative AKI was observed in 27.5% of patients, with 2.4% requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT)/dialysis. The majority of AKI cases were staged as Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stage 1. Among patients needing CRRT/dialysis, 1.8% recovered renal function within 3 months, with 0.6% experiencing 30-day mortality. In univariate analysis, factors associated with AKI included older age (P = 0.003), severe anemia (P < 0.0001), pre-operative creatinine elevation (P < 0.0001), complex surgeries (P < 0.0001), blood product transfusion (P < 0.0001), longer cross-clamp (XC) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) times (P < 0.0001), and inotropes usage (P < 0.0001). Classical risk factors like diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension did not show significant differences. The majority of these factors (severe anemia, age, pre-operative creatinine, post-operative inotrope usage, and cross-clamp times) were consistently significant (P < 0.05) in logistic regression analysis. Conclusion: Post-operative AKI following cardiac surgery is frequent, with significant associations seen especially with pre-operative anemia. Future investigations focusing on the specific causes of anemia linked to AKI development are essential, considering the high prevalence of hemoglobinopathy traits in our population.","url":"https://doi.org/10.14740/jocmr5220","authors":["Mostafa Mohrag","Mohammed Abdulrasak","Waseem Borik","Atheer H.

Recent advances have led to the development of predictive tools that estimate the risk of progression from CH to MN,7, 8 such that individuals at high risk can be identified and prioritized for clinical follow-up. As CH precedes the development of MN by several years,1-3, 7, 9, 10 this provides a window during which high-risk clones could be intercepted and targeted to avert or delay the development of MN. A key impediment to prospective myeloid cancer prevention programs is the lack of a scalable test to identify individuals with CH. At present, CH is identified by next-generation sequencing (NGS) of blood DNA targeted to a panel of genes recurrently mutated in MN. However, NGS is not performed in routine clinical practice and is impractical and costly to perform at scale. An alternative approach is to leverage low-cost, scalable, routine clinical tests to identify the individuals most likely to harbor CH, who can then be prioritized for sequencing. The complete blood count (CBC) is an inexpensive, routine clinical test, and CBC indices such as the red cell distribution width (RDW) and mean cell volume are known to be associated with progression from CH to MN.10 We therefore sought to explore whether tree-based machine learning (ML) models could detect individuals with CH based on CBC features, through analysis of paired CBC and whole-exome sequencing (WES) data from 431,531 United Kingdom Biobank (UKB) participants. After excluding those with missing CBC data (n = 32,670), missing WES data (n = 36,368), or a prevalent diagnosis of a hematological malignancy (n = 1840), CH variant allele frequency [VAF] ≥2%) was identified in 20,860/431,531 (4.8%) UKB participants, of whom 7637 (36.6%) had large clone CH (VAF ≥10%; Figure 1A, Table S1). Using this UKB dataset, we developed a range of tree-based models using our ML framework, which we henceforth refer to as CHIC (Clonal Hematopoiesis Inference from Counts, see Supplementary Methods). Using CHIC, we initially developed binary classifiers (CH/no CH) agnostic to specific driver mutations (“any-driver CH”), which performed modestly (median area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC] 0.62–0.64, Figure S1 and Supplementary Methods/Results). Given the molecular heterogeneity of CH, we then trained driver gene-specific classifiers and found that common mutations in epigenetic modifiers were less accurately predicted (e.g., median AUC 0.60/0.64 for DNMT3A/TET2, respectively), whereas lower prevalence, high-risk mutations in JAK2, CALR, SF3B1, SRSF2, and U2AF1 were more accurately predicted (median AUC 0.82–0.94, Figure 1, see also Supplementary Results, Table S2). Ensemble ML algorithms performed best (Figure 1), and further analysis showed that although age and sex alone were weak predictors, incorporating these demographic features improved classifier performance, particularly for splicing factor gene mutations (Figure 1C). As such, we focused on further optimizing Random Forest (RF) models using age, sex, and CBC indice","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/hem3.70169","authors":["William G.

This study proposes a novel, integrated process design for blue hydrogen production that addresses both energy and environmental sustainability through process intensification and resource valorization. A hybrid system was developed that combines solar thermal energy input with the catalytic potential of industrial waste, specifically, red mud, a byproduct of alumina refining. A solar parabolic dish (SPD) was engineered to contribute 10% of the heat demand, generating superheated steam at 477 °C. This work serves as a proof-of-concept, demonstrating the technical viability of integration at a bench scale. In parallel, red mud was characterized, thermochemically activated, and formulated into a low-cost catalyst for the SMR process. The integrated system includes solar-assisted steam generation, red mud-based catalytic reforming, CO2 capture using methyl diethanolamine (MDEA), and hydrogen purification via pressure swing adsorption (PSA). The full process was modeled and optimized using ASPEN Plus, ASPEN Adsorption, and COMSOL Multiphysics® Under optimal conditions (900 °C, 25 bar, steam-to-carbon ratio of 3), the system produced 1070 kg/h of hydrogen, achieving 95% CO2 capture efficiency and 99.99% hydrogen purity. Techno-economic analysis revealed the red mud-derived catalyst costs 3.89 SAR/g (1.04 USD/g), a 77% cost reduction compared to conventional Ni-based catalysts. The integration of solar thermal energy, while offering modest direct economic savings of approximately 9500 SAR (2530 USD) annually, primarily demonstrates the technical feasibility of renewable heat integration for reducing the carbon intensity of hydrogen production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/designs9060138","authors":["Taher Maatallah","Mussad Alzahrani","S.

This study evaluated overall survival, major adverse cardiac events and reoperation risk following surgical aortic valve replacement using either mechanical or biological prostheses in patients aged 50 to 65 years, aiming to provide data to support optimal valve selection in this group. METHODS: A registry-based cohort study was conducted using nationwide Austrian health insurance data from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2020. Patients undergoing isolated surgical aortic valve replacement were classified based on valve type into mechanical or biological groups. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiac events, reoperation, stroke, bleeding and survival after reoperation. Outcomes were assessed using Cox or competing risk regression models. Propensity score matching was used to reduce baseline differences. RESULTS: In the study cohort, 1018 patients were categorized to the mechanical and 2743 to the biological group. Patients who received mechanical valves had a significantly lower risk of death compared to those with biological valves (hazard ratio 1.352; P = 0.003). The biological group also had higher risks of major adverse cardiac events (hazard ratio 1.182; P = 0.03) and reoperation (hazard ratio 2.338; P = 0.002). Stroke and bleeding risks were similar between groups. All findings remained significant after propensity score matching. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients aged 50 to 65 years undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement, mechanical valves were associated with improved long-term survival, fewer major adverse events, and a lower need for repeat surgery. These findings suggest a need to re-evaluate the increasing use of biological valves in this age group.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ejcts/ezaf200","authors":["Alissa Florian","Johann Auer","Berthold Reichardt","Pavla Krotka","Christine Wagenlechner","Ralph Wendt","Michael Mildner","Julia Mascherbauer","Hendrik Jan Ankersmit","Daniel Zimpfer","Alexandra Gráf"],"tags":["Medicine","Hazard ratio","Propensity score matching","Aortic valve replacement","Proportional hazards model"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ejcts/ezaf200","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404667573","name":"Exploring the influence of nurses’ demographics and hospital work environment on medical error reporting practices in Jordan: a cross-sectional study","source":"openalex","abstract":"Objective Nurses have a significant role in maintaining patient and healthcare safety. Thus, healthcare administrators should focus on nurse performance and create a friendly hospital work environment to ensure patient safety and healthcare quality. Limited studies have investigated the impact of nurses’ demographics on nurses’ error reporting practices and nurses’ perceptions of the hospital work environment, especially in Jordan. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing nurses’ medical error reporting practices in Jordan, specifically focusing on the role of nurses’ demographics and the hospital work environment. Design:This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. Setting Data collection was done in three hospitals (public, university-affiliated and private) in Jordan, using surveys that included demographics, the incident reporting practice scale and the Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index from 11 June 2023 to 13 August 2023. Participants 350 nurses with a diploma, associate degree, bachelor’s degree or postgraduate degree had worked at the targeted hospitals for at least 6 months and were responsible for direct inpatient care. Primary outcome measure The level of medical error reporting practices and the nursing work environment. Also, differences were assessed among demographic characteristics and investigated the factors for medical error reporting practices. Results Jordanian nurses had low medical error reporting practices (M=2.34; SD=0.57) and nursing work environment (M=2.4; SD=0.56). Nurses who were single and in private hospitals had higher medical error reporting practices (p<0.05). Medical error reporting practices positively correlated with the nursing work environment (r=0.807, p<0.01) and negatively correlated with the average number of patients per shift (r=−0.109, p<0.05). The nursing work environment was a significant predictor, with an 81.0% variance in medical error reporting practices. Conclusions The study found that Jordanian nurses have low perceptions of their work environment and medical error reporting practices, which are influenced by marital status and hospital type. Enhancing the nurse work environment and providing ongoing standards training are critical for improving safety behaviours, patient outcomes and care quality. Future research should investigate the long-term consequences of interventions on reporting practices and patient outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2024-087057","authors":["Alaa Dalky","Islam Oweidat","Sajeda Abuzaid","Anas H.

This paper presents a comprehensive model for managing engineering change in oil and gas operations, emphasizing leadership strategies, organizational dynamics, and risk management. High-risk industries face unique challenges, including complex project environments, stringent regulatory compliance, and the need to adapt rapidly to technological advancements. Effective leadership plays a vital role in navigating these challenges by fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. The proposed model integrates transformational leadership principles, change management theories, and engineering methodologies to address the multi-dimensional aspects of engineering change.

The study draws on empirical research, case studies, and industry best practices to provide actionable insights for leaders and organizations in high-risk industries. Key findings indicate that leaders who exhibit adaptability, resilience, and technical competence can better manage the complexities of engineering change. Moreover, organizations that adopt a proactive approach to change management, incorporating predictive analytics and risk assessment frameworks, are more likely to achieve sustainable outcomes. This model also considers the human factor, addressing resistance to change and the need for continuous training and development to build a skilled workforce.

Previous research underscores the significance of readiness as a prerequisite for a nation's advancement toward sustainable energy, urging careful navigation of uncertainties within this framework. Our research expands upon existing literature by delving into how country-level readiness influences a country's innovation in renewable energy in the face of uncertainty. Employing panel fixed effect threshold regression with four distinct models, we analyze this dynamic across 65 countries, representing both advanced and emerging economies. The results validate the presence of an uncertainty threshold effect across all model regressions, confirming a non-linear relationship among uncertainty, country-level readiness, and renewable energy innovation. Overall country-level readiness, along with its components—economic and social readiness—individually fosters renewable energy innovation under low uncertainty. However, this positive influence weakens as uncertainty exceeds the threshold. Conversely, governance readiness exerts a negative impact on renewable energy innovation under low uncertainty, with its detrimental effects becoming more significant at higher levels of uncertainty. The lagged uncertainty has a significant negative association with renewable energy innovation. Policymakers and investors should prioritize developing country level readiness to successfully manage the potential negative influence of uncertainties on renewable energy innovation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sftr.2025.101158","authors":["Mohammad Rakib Uddin Bhuiyan","Anupam Dutta","Gazi Salah Uddin","Ali Ahmed"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Economics","Natural resource economics","Monetary economics","Macroeconomics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sftr.2025.101158","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409361602","name":"Comprehensive Risk Assessment of Smart Energy Information Security: An Enhanced MCDM-Based Approach","source":"openalex","abstract":"To address the challenges of assessing information security risks in smart energy systems, this study proposes a multi-attribute decision support method based on interval type-2 fuzzy numbers (IT2TrFN). First, expert questionnaires were designed to gather insights from eight specialists in the fields of smart energy and safety engineering. Linguistic terms associated with IT2TrFN were employed to evaluate indicators, converting expert judgments into fuzzy numerical values while ensuring data reliability through consistency measurements. Subsequently, a decision hierarchy structure and an expert weight allocation model were developed. By utilizing the score and accuracy functions of IT2TrFN, the study determined positive and negative ideal solutions to rank and prioritize the evaluation criteria. Key influencing factors identified include the rate of excessive initial investment, regulatory stringency, information security standards, environmental pollution pressure, and incident response timeliness. The overall risk index was calculated as 0.5839, indicating a moderate level of information security risk in the evaluated region. To validate the robustness of the model, sensitivity analyses were conducted by varying IT2FWA (Weighted aggregated operator) and IT2FGA (Weighted geometric operator) operator selections and adjusting weight coefficients. The results reveal that key indicators exhibit high risk under different scenarios.

Monitoring the CSA and motility rhythm is crucial but remains time-consuming and operator dependent. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system for real-time automated recognition of the gastric antrum CSA and motility rhythm using bedside ultrasound. Gastric antrum ultrasound videos were prospectively collected from West China Hospital to establish training and validation datasets. The AI system's predictions were validated against senior clinicians' annotations to assess accuracy. Additionally, videos were collected to evaluate the performance of the AI system. The antrum motility rhythms of patients and volunteers were preliminarily classified to lay the foundation for the subsequent establishment of gastrointestinal motility rhythm phenotypes in critically ill patients. A total of 907 videos (620 patients and 287 volunteers) were included to develop and validate the AI system from January 2022 to November 2023. 49,240 images were used as training datasets to train the model's ability to locate and segment gastric antrum ultrasound images. The remaining 12,309 images were used as the internal validation dataset, achieving a mean dice coefficient (mDice) of 87.36% and an mean intersection over union (mIOU) of 77.56%. For the external validation dataset, 2334 images were used, resulting in mDice and mIOU values of 86.82% and 76.26%, respectively. Moreover, the AI system demonstrated robust performance in video cut frame analysis, achieving a mDice of 90.23% and a mIOU of 85.16% across 105 videos. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between human operators and the AI model was good (ICC (2, K): 0.813, 95% CI 0.728-0.871). In terms of antrum motility rhythm phenotypes, we identified several distinct patterns, such as regular movement, minimal movement, and irregular movement, reflecting different statuses, such as fasting, postmeal, postexercise, and postduty. We developed an AI system that is comparable to experienced clinicians in identifying the gastric antrum and measuring its CSA. Furthermore, the system can generate a curve representing the rhythm of antrum movement, reflecting the varying statuses of patients and volunteers. This system may optimize enteral nutrition (EN) protocols by reducing clinicians' workload and minimizing operator dependence.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-98974-1","authors":["Tongjuan Zou","Hao He","Jing Yang","You Wu","Chengxin Lv","Lican Zhao","Wanhong Yin"],"tags":["Rhythm","Antrum","Ultrasound","Medicine","Gastric antrum"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-98974-1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4312271157","name":"Legal Framework Analysis for CO 2 Utilisation in Latvia","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract The ever-increasing amount of greenhouse gas emissions are forcing countries and the industrial sector in particular to develop ways to improve the manufacturing industry and reduce the amount of emissions created in compliance with the requirements of the European Green Deal initiative.

Milrinone and dobutamine are both commonly used, yet the optimal inotrope remains unclear. We aimed to identify factors associated with milrinone and dobutamine treatment and assess their effects on 30-day mortality in a large real-world cohort of AMI-CS patients. The Netherlands Heart Registration prospectively records data for percutaneous coronary intervention patients. Between 2017 and 2021, additional retrospective data on CS patients were collected by fourteen Dutch hospitals. Patients who were treated with either milrinone or dobutamine were selected; those treated with both were excluded. Missing data were imputed (30 ×) using multiple imputation, and propensity matched score analysis (PSM) was performed to evaluate the association between milrinone or dobutamine treatment and 30-day mortality. RESULTS: In total, 739 patients were included (milrinone n = 247, dobutamine n = 492). Prior to matching, milrinone-treated patients exhibited more severely ill baseline and treatment characteristics, and higher 30-day mortality (50.6% vs. 41.5%, p = 0.018). After PSM, 198 patients remained in each group for analysis. Baseline characteristics were well balanced and 30-day mortality rates were similar (46.5% vs. 41.9%, p = 0.362). CONCLUSION: In this real-world propensity-matched cohort of AMI-CS patients, no significant difference in 30-day mortality was observed between patients treated with milrinone and dobutamine. Importantly, milrinone patients were more severely ill at baseline, indicating that the choice of inotrope may be influenced by illness severity. This comprehensive study suggests that the selection of inotrope may continue to be guided by individual patient characteristics.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00392-025-02742-0","authors":["Sanne ten Berg","Margriet Bogerd","Elma Peters","Marijke Timmermans","Wim K.

Patients were divided into two subgroups according to SLC7A11 expression levels, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between these groups. Then SLC7A11's mechanism was then clarified by function enrichment analysis. The association between SLC7A11 and the immune microenvironment was investigated.

Besides, SLC7A11 was positively regulated cervical cancer cells' proliferation, migration and invasion. We identified 113 DEGs between two subgroups. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that these DEGs are linked to immune-related pathways. The SLC7A11 high expression group showed greater enrichment of resting NK cells, neutrophils, M0 macrophages, and activated mast cells, whereas the SLC7A11 low expression group had higher levels of resting dendritic cells, resting mast cells, and follicular helper T cells. Besides, there were higher TMB scores in patients with high SLC7A11 expression. Finally, we explore 37 kinds of drugs may improve prognosis.

Although numerous studies have reported that offshore saline aquifers have greater storage potential and safety, current suitability evaluation models for CO2 geo-storage primarily focus on onshore saline aquifers, and site-level evaluations for offshore CO2 geo-storage remain unreported. In this study, we propose a framework to evaluate the site-level offshore CO2 geo-storage suitability with a multi-tiered indicator system, which considers three types of factors: engineering geology, storage potential, and socio-economy. Compared to the onshore CO2 geo-storage suitability evaluation models, the proposed indicator system considers the unique conditions of offshore CO2 geo-storage, including water depth, offshore distance, and distance from drilling platforms. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE) methods were integrated and applied to the analysis of the Ying–Qiong Basin, South China Sea. The results indicated that the average suitability score in the Yinggehai Basin (0.762) was higher than that in the Qiongdongnan Basin (0.691). This difference was attributed to more extensive fault development in the Qiongdongnan Basin, suggesting that the Yinggehai Basin is more suitable for CO2 geo-storage. In addition, the DF-I reservoir in the Yinggehai Basin and the BD-A reservoir in the Qiongdongnan Basin were selected as the optimal CO2 geo-storage targets for the two sub-basins, with storage potentials of 1.09 × 108 t and 2.40 × 107 t, respectively.

We present an analysis of the gap between the CO2 storage required to meet net zero targets and the slow maturation of regional storage resources. We estimate that European storage rates need to increase 30-to-100x by 2030 to meet net zero by 2050. China and North America face a similar challenge. The slow global progress of CO2 storage undermines the latest IPCC, IEA, and EU transition pathways to net zero by 2050. These pathways imply a radically increased demand for carbon capture and storage and negative emission technologies, NETs, contributing 500 of 700 megatonnes of CO2 removal annually by 2050. Here, we investigate if sufficient storage can be developed in time. China (30%), North America (15%) and Europe (10%) dominate global emissions. We choose to analyse Europe as a data-rich exemplar. Assuming net zero in 2050, we back-calculate the storage required under three scenarios of low, medium, and high CCS demand. Even the low demand scenario requires 0.2 Gt of storage by 2030, increasing to 1.3 Gt by 2050. The moderate and high demand scenarios require 5-to-8 Gt by 2050. The current storage rate in Europe is 0.001 Gt/yr. There is a huge gap between policy demand and storage supply. Adaptation of existing hydrocarbon technology has the potential to close this gap, with CCS for the entire EU requiring less than half the historic rate of hydrocarbon exploration and development in the UK North Sea from 1980 to 2010. Counter to expectation, storage cannot be delivered by exponential growth but requires an early and sustained investment of 30-to-50 boreholes per year starting before 2030 to build sufficient capacity. A five-year lead-time to identify and mature prospects needs policy intervention before 2025. Continued policy deferral will lock Europe into a low CCS pathway that restricts the contribution of NETs at a potential cost of €100 billion for every gigatonne delayed beyond 2050. North America and China require similar policy intervention to close the gap on CO2 storage and net zero.","url":"https://doi.org/10.31223/x5g37f","authors":["Andrew Cavanagh","Mark Wilkinson","R.

This review uniquely combines bibliometric analysis of 13,289 peer-reviewed publications (2012–2023) with an evaluation of Cu-based catalyst advancements, addressing critical gaps in the literature. A bibliometric analysis highlights the key trends, collaborations, and research gaps in the field. Among the catalytic systems, noble metals, though highly active, are uneconomical for large-scale applications, while non-noble metals, such as nickel, exhibit limited activity due to undesired reaction pathways. In comparison, Cu-based catalysts overcome these challenges by offering a balance of activity, selectivity, and cost-effectiveness. Special emphasis is placed on the CO2 to methanol conversion pathways, with insights into thermodynamic constraints, emerging solutions, and potential directions for future research.

Mobilizing social capital through transition finance is crucial to support companies in their efforts to reduce carbon emissions. The lack of high-quality data and consistent, comparable disclosure frameworks hinders proper due diligence and strategic planning, presenting a major obstacle to financing the transition. To identify the mismatches between existing disclosure frameworks for transition plans and the needs of transition finance, we conducted a systematic review of various transition disclosure frameworks, such as TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures), CA100+ (Climate Action 100+) and TPT (Transition Plan Taskforce), and compared them with the information requirements of financial institutions for assessing coal phase-out plans of production entities. The results indicate that the ex-ante assessment of transition finance requires disclosure frameworks to be further expanded and aligned in areas such as technological distinctions and data quality to meet the demands of pricing, risk management, new product innovation, and disclosure of financial institutions’ carbon footprints in their asset portfolios. Moreover, the implementation of the current disclosure standards by coal power enterprises may encounter dual constraints from soft regulatory practices and the external business environment, resulting in the emergence of the “green silence” phenomenon. The inconsistency between disclosure frameworks may also give rise to regulatory arbitrage, leading to a distorted evaluation of the transition process of coal power enterprises by the capital market, resulting in potential price distortions and credit risks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20517/cf.2023.41","authors":["Yuanxin Liu","Chenchen Gao","Yang Xiaowen","Jiahai Yuan","Yufei Ren"],"tags":["Business","Finance"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-10-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.20517/cf.2023.41","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4324140644","name":"Making sense of mRNA translational “noise”","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.semcdb.2023.03.004","authors":["Yuanhui Mao","Shu‐Bing Qian"],"tags":["Biology","Posttranslational modification","Translational regulation","Translation (biology)","Computational biology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-03-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.semcdb.2023.03.004","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411210609","name":"Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis of the Environmental and Economic Parameters for Mineral Carbonation of Steel Slags as a Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Materi","source":"openalex","abstract":"Article by Ponnapat Watjanatepin, Laura Steinwidder, Anthony de Schutter, Nina Miladinović, Tom Van Duyse, Lola Eelen, Giuseppe Granata, Sara Vicca, Tom Van Gerven and Karel Van Acker published in JSDEWES","url":"https://doi.org/10.13044/j.sdewes.d13.0554","authors":["Ponnapat Watjanatepin","Laura Steinwidder","Anthony de Schutter","Nina Miladinović","Tom Van Duyse","Lola Eelen","Giuseppe Granata","Sara Vicca","Tom Van Gerven","Karel Van Acker"],"tags":["Carbonation","Carbon fibers","Environmental science","Waste management","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.13044/j.sdewes.d13.0554","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4414662985","name":"The role of renewable energy production on greenhouse gas emission reduction in international petroleum companies under energy transition policy","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study explores the impact of renewable energy production on GHG emissions under energy transition in a panel of 27 international petroleum companies over the period of 2015–2023.

Here, we identified co-differentially expressed circRNAs and determined their putative roles in the proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMECs), and pericytes (PCs) under hypoxia. METHODS: Whole transcriptome sequencing was performed to analyze the differential expression of circRNAs in three different vascular cell types. Bioinformatic analysis was used to predict their putative biological function. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, Cell Counting Kit-8, and EdU Cell Proliferation assays were carried out to determine the role of circular postmeiotic segregation 1 (circPMS1) as well as its potential sponge mechanism in PASMCs, PMECs, and PCs. RESULTS: PASMCs, PMECs, and PCs exhibited 16, 99, and 31 differentially expressed circRNAs under hypoxia, respectively. CircPMS1 was upregulated in PASMCs, PMECs, and PCs under hypoxia and enhanced the proliferation of vascular cells. CircPMS1 may upregulate DEP domain containing 1 (DEPDC1) and RNA polymerase II subunit D expression by targeting microRNA-432-5p (miR-432-5p) in PASMCs, upregulate MAX interactor 1 (MXI1) expression by targeting miR-433-3p in PMECs, and upregulate zinc finger AN1-type containing 5 (ZFAND5) expression by targeting miR-3613-5p in PCs. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that circPMS1 promotes cell proliferation through the miR-432-5p/DEPDC1 or miR-432-5p/POL2D axis in PASMCs, through the miR-433-3p/MXI1 axis in PMECs, and through the miR-3613-5p/ZFAND5 axis in PCs, which provides putative targets for the early diagnosis and treatment of PH.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ame2.12332","authors":["Xiaoyi Hu","Shang Wang","Hui Zhao","Yaqin Wei","Ruowang Duan","Rong Jiang","Wenhui Wu","Qin‐Hua Zhao","Su‐Gang Gong","Lan Wang","Jinming Liu","Ping Yuan"],"tags":["Downregulation and upregulation","microRNA","Hypoxia (environmental)","Cell biology","Biology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-06-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ame2.12332","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404516283","name":"CHIP away at the marrow-clot connection: inflammation, clonal hematopoiesis, and thromboembolic disease","source":"europepmc","abstract":"ABSTRACT: Both the incidence and prognosis of arterial atherothrombosis and venous thromboembolism are strongly correlated with increasing age. Over the past decade, clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) has been identified as a novel biomarker for cardiovascular disease. Driven by somatic mutations in the hematopoietic system, the epidemiology of CHIP is highly age dependent: among individuals aged ≥70 years in the general population, estimated prevalence of CHIP exceeds 10%. Several additional risk factors for CHIP have emerged in recent years, including smoking, receipt of anticancer therapy, and germ line predispositions. CHIP carriers consistently have higher risk of incident arterial atherothrombosis, even after accounting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors. However, the magnitude of this association varies across studies. In addition, individuals with established cardiovascular disease and CHIP have higher risks of recurrence and all-cause mortality than their non-CHIP counterparts. An association between CHIP carriership and incident venous thromboembolism has recently been made, although additional studies are needed to confirm this finding. No approved therapy exists to modify the cardiovascular risk among CHIP carriers. However, canakinumab showed promise in a post-hoc analyses of patients with TET2-mutated CHIP, and other anti-inflammasome agents are actively under development or evaluation. In this review, we provide an overview of CHIP as a mediator of thromboembolic diseases and discuss emerging therapeutics aimed at intervening on this thrombo-inflammatory nexus.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1182/bloodadvances.2024014430","authors":["Angela Todorovski","Tzu‐Fei Wang","Marc Carrier","Yan Xu"],"tags":["Medicine","Disease","Internal medicine","Oncology","Germline mutation"],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1182/bloodadvances.2024014430","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401912193","name":"Planning for implementation success: insights from conducting an implementation needs assessment","source":"openalex","abstract":"AIM: The aim of this paper is to provide insights into conducting an implementation needs assessment using a case example in a less-research-intensive setting. DESIGN AND METHODS: In the case example, an implementation needs assessment was conducted, including (1) an environmental scan of the organization's website and preliminary discussions with key informants to learn about the implementation context, and (2) a formal analysis of the evidence-practice gap (use of sedation interruptions) deploying a chart audit methodology using legal electronic reports. RESULTS: Our needs assessment was conducted over 5 months and demonstrated how environmental scans reveal valuable information that can inform the evidence-practice gap analysis. A well-designed gap analysis, using suitable indicators of best practice, can reveal compliance rates with local protocol recommendations, even with a small sample size. In our case, compliance with the prescribed practices for sedation interruptions ranged from 65% (n=53) to as high as 84% (n=69). CONCLUSIONS: Implementation needs assessments provide valuable information that can inform implementation planning. Such assessments should include an environmental scan to understand the local context and identify both current recommended best practices and local best practices for the intervention of interest. When addressing an evidence-practice gap, analyses should quantify the difference between local practice and desired best practice. IMPACT: The insights gained from the case example presented in this paper are likely transferrable to implementation research or studies conducted in similar, less-research-intensive settings.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an essential component of the UK Government’s net-zero strategy. Policies emphasize the need for flexible and accessible CO₂ transport and storage networks, with shipping emerging as a key non-pipeline transport modality to connect industrial clusters to offshore storage. In this article, we assess whether current health and safety and major accident prevention regulations adequately govern the risks posed by expanding CO₂ handling and storage in UK ports to support CCS deployment. Our analysis identifies three regulatory gaps. First, while the Port Marine Safety Code addresses regulatory complexity in UK ports through establishing uniform national standards for marine safety, it cannot regulate the emerging risks of anticipated large-scale CO₂ shipping activities without clear performance standards in specific legislation. Second, duly appointed harbor masters must be well-informed to effectively exercise the powers granted under the Dangerous Goods in Harbour Areas Regulations (DGHAR) to reduce serious accident risks associated with increased CO₂ shipping. Third, the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations (COMAH) currently exclude temporary CO₂ storage and do not include CO₂ within their scope, limiting their effectiveness for major accident prevention in port storage scenarios. To address these gaps, we recommend issuing tailored guidance under DGHAR to clarify risk management responsibilities for CO₂ shipping and amending COMAH to include CO₂ storage and recognize CO₂ as a dangerous substance. These reforms are essential to protect port communities, ensure robust risk management, and support the safe, sustainable expansion of CO₂ shipping as a critical enabler of CCS.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2025.104479","authors":["Wassim Dbouk","D.A.H.

However, the sensitivity of mammalian cells to their culture environment necessitates specific nutritional requirements for their growth and the production of high-quality proteins such as antibodies, depending on the cell lines and operational conditions employed. In this regard, previously we developed a data-driven and in-silico model-guided systematic framework to investigate the effect of growth media on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture performance, allowing us to design and reformulate basal media. To expand our exploration for media development research, we evaluated two chemically defined feed media, A and B, using a monoclonal antibody-producing CHO-K1 cell line in ambr15 bioreactor runs. We observed a significant impact of the feed media on various aspects of cell culture, including growth, longevity, viability, productivity, and the production of toxic metabolites. Specifically, the concentrated feed A was inadequate in sustaining prolonged cell culture and achieving high titers when compared to feed B. Within our framework, we systematically investigated the major metabolic bottlenecks in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and relevant amino acid transferase reactions. This analysis identified target components that play a crucial role in alleviating bottlenecks and designing highly productive cell cultures, specifically the addition of glutamate to feed A and asparagine to feed B. Based on our findings, we reformulated the feeds by adjusting the amounts of the targeted amino acids and successfully validated the effectiveness of the strategy in promoting cell growth, life span, and/or titer.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/biot.202300126","authors":["Seo‐Young Park","Dong‐Hyuk Choi","Jinsung Song","Uiseon Park","Hyeran Cho","Bee Hak Hong","Yaron Silberberg","Dong‐Yup Lee"],"tags":["Chinese hamster ovary cell","Cell culture","Cell growth","Biology","Asparagine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-08-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/biot.202300126","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410039179","name":"Homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of CO 2 – amino acid-based capture and utilization","source":"openalex","abstract":"promoted by the same catalyst.

It is shown that the introduction of floating liquefaction technology reduces capital expenditures, increases operational flexibility, and minimizes infrastructure risks, especially in conditions of geopolitical instability.

Although there have been reports of non-myeloid neoplasms, particularly lymphoid malignancies, in DDX41MT-GPS, these occurrences are infrequent and poorly characterized. We carried out this study in a large cohort of DDX41MT-GPS patients to address this deficiency. Following IRB approval, we retrospectively analyzed our database of 174 patients with DDX41MT-GPS to determine the rates of non-myeloid malignancies. Our previous data revealed that certain DDX41MT genotypes classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS) exhibit a similar phenotypic spectrum to those classified as pathogenic (Badar et al Hematologica). Consequently, we included all these variants in our analysis. The median age of the cohort was 68.6 yrs (range, 13-4-93.4); 66% (n=114) male, 93% (n=162) Caucasian, with a median follow-up of 1.4 yrs (range, 0.03-5.6) from DDX41MT-GPS detection. The cohort included 34 (19.5%) asymptomatic carriers, 17 (9.8%) with clonal hematopoiesis (CH) or clonal cytopenias (CCUS), and 123 (70.7%) with MN. Eighteen (10%) patients had a lymphoid neoplasm (78% male, 100% Caucasian), with a median age at lymphoid neoplasm diagnosis of 67.7 yrs (range, 12.2-85.9).

Seven (4%) patients had plasma cell dyscrasias (PCD; 3 with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance(MGUS) and 4 with multiple myeloma (MM)); 57% (n=4) were male, with a median age of 61.3 yrs (range, 41.4-83.8) at PCD diagnosis. Subtypes of MGUS included IgG Kappa (n=2) and IgG Lambda (n=1), subtypes of MM included IgG Kappa (n=2), IgA Kappa (n=1), and Kappa light chain only (n=1).

Seventeen percent (n=31) had visceral malignancies; 2.8% (n=5) having >1malignancy, 61% (n=19) male, 93.5% (n=29) Caucasian and 6.5% (n=2) Hispanic. Prostate cancer was most common (n=8, 4.6%), followed by breast (n=7, 4.0%), colon (n=5, 2.9%), squamous cell carcinoma (n=4, 2.3%, 3 of the head/neck and 1 of the leg), bladder (n=4, 2.3%), testicular (n=3, 1.7%), gynecologic (n=3, 1.7%), lung (n=2, 1.2%), thyroid (n=1, 0.6%) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET, n=1, 0.6%), respectively.

Troponin elevation is increasingly used for risk stratification, but its prognostic utility remains variably reported across studies. To evaluate the prognostic value of troponin elevation in patients with acute PE, concerning short-term mortality and adverse clinical outcomes. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines. PubMed was searched from January 2000 to the present, using terms such as \"pulmonary embolism,\" \"troponin,\" and \"prognosis.\" Eligible studies reported associations between troponin elevation and mortality or adverse events in adult patients with PE. Data were synthesised quantitatively and narratively. The Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool was used to assess risk of bias. Sixty studies (n = 25,282) were included. Meta-analysis showed that elevated troponin was significantly associated with increased in-hospital mortality (OR: 5.42; 95% CI: 4.35-6.83), 30-day mortality (OR: 4.35; 95% CI: 3.30-5.74), right ventricular dysfunction (OR: 3.42; 95% CI: 2.69-4.31), haemodynamic instability (OR: 3.29 95% CI: 2.48-4.39), and intensive care unit admission (OR: 5.81 95% CI: 3.52-9.68). Non-meta-analysed mortality data were similar to the meta-analysed data, showing an association between elevated troponin levels and worse outcomes in PE. These associations were observed across both conventional and high-sensitivity assays, as well as normotensive or low-risk patients. Elevated troponin is a strong and consistent predictor of short-term mortality and clinical deterioration in acute PE. With further research, it has the potential to be more widely integrated into risk stratification frameworks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ccd.70243","authors":["Ahmed T.

We herein report our experience of CR with physical training in patients with LVT after myocardial infarction. From 2012 to 2023, 706 patients with myocardial infarction underwent CR in our hospital: 304 (43%) had anterior or anterolateral AMI; 402 (57%) had posterior or inferior AMI. In 25 of them (3.4% of all AMI, 8.4% of anterior AMI), the routine echocardiography in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) showed LVT, whose presence was confirmed by contrast-echocardiography before starting oral anticoagulant treatment (OAT) with warfarin on top of double antiplatelet treatment (DAPT). Table 1 summarizes the relevant clinical characteristics of all patients. The time between the occurrence of symptoms and the PCI procedure varied between 1 and 36 h, exceeding 12 h in seven patients; 10 were treated within 3 h from symptoms and 8 within 6 h. Clinical characteristics of the patients LM, left main coronary artery; IVA, interventricular coronary artery; RCS, right coronary artery; CX, circumflex coronary artery; DAPT, double antiplatelet; OAC, oral anticoagulant (warfarin). Clinical characteristics of the patients LM, left main coronary artery; IVA, interventricular coronary artery; RCS, right coronary artery; CX, circumflex coronary artery; DAPT, double antiplatelet; OAC, oral anticoagulant (warfarin). In 18 of 25 pts, LVT was still present at arrival in our Rehabilitation Unit where no protruding or floating LVT was described: all patients showed a target INR, and OAT was continued. We initially performed CR in the ward for 7 ± 2 days: patients exercised daily with 90 min of light callisthenics and a low load treadmill or bicycle exercise. Afterwards, CR was continued for 7 weeks on an outpatient’s basis. Outpatients CR consisted of 21 sessions of 90 min duration, three times every week: 45 min of callisthenics (using clubs, weights, elastics, and light squatting, to enforce strength and agility and improve balance, coordination, and flexibility) and 45 min of bicycle or treadmill. In this setting, the amount of physical training was adjusted on the results of a 6 min walking test (6MWT) performed in the last inpatients’ day. The target heart rate for exercise training was calculated as suggested by Calegari et al.,8 i.e. HR6MWT was used as training rate, adjusting exercise intensity accordingly. Empirically, we kept exercise intensity at 80% of that of pts without LVT, since hard exercise has been believed to increase embolization (3–5). Electrocardiogram was monitored to determine heart rate and to detect abnormalities during exercise. Borg’s scale was used to evaluate symptoms and the amount of perceived exertion. A weekly check with echocardiography plus contrast-echocardiography (if needed to confirm the disappearance of LVT) was performed (Figure 1).

This study focuses on the seismic imaging of the Gassum structure in eastern Jutland, Denmark, employing high‐resolution, dual‐element acquisition, and processing techniques. The investigation aims to unravel details in the evolution of the salt dome and its implications for GCS potential. High‐resolution seismic data processing and interpretation reveals a skewed dome structure with steeper flanks on the western and northern sides, characterized by faults and stratigraphic thinning. The asymmetric growth of the dome suggests uneven salt loading during its genesis, influencing local stress fields and structural development, with evidence of syn‐tectonic subsidence that produced salt welds. This is supported by the presence of stratigraphic wedges and an increased depth of imaged horizons within steeper flanks of the dome. A mild piercement of the salt into overlying sediments, onlapping features, and the presence of normal faults that originate from the dome apex and extend radially, all indicate a reactive piercement process in the salt pillow's development stage. This produced an extensional regime in overlying strata, inducing sequence thinning and graben structures. Analysis of reservoir and seal properties unveils adequate conditions for GCS, with a continuous reservoir and thick primary and secondary seals. However, the presence of faults intersecting these formations raises concerns regarding long‐term storage stability. Further investigations into reservoir porosity, migration paths, and volumetric analysis are warranted for conclusive GCS assessments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024ea004014","authors":["M.

Five behaviours were included: (i) general sustainable transportation, (ii) public transportation, (iii) walking and cycling, (iv) reducing car use, and (v) reducing flights. A three step-approach was employed. First, beliefs underlying the Theory of Planned Behaviour variables were elicited using qualitative methodology. The most commonly stated beliefs were included in the second phase; a questionnaire study that measured beliefs, attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, habit, moral norms, and intention. Lastly, a one-week follow-up measured behaviour. Behavioural beliefs strongly predicted attitudes, habit beliefs predicted habit, and moral norm beliefs predict moral norm across all five behaviours. Regression models showed that the extended Theory of Planned Behaviour model had a better predictive capacity than the standard model. The strongest predictors were habit and moral norm. Intention significantly predicted behaviour but only explained a low proportion of variance. Interventions aiming to promote sustainable transportation practices should particularly focus on influencing individuals' habits and moral norms, as these factors impacted most behaviours studied.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0325196","authors":["Anda-Bianca Ciocîrlan","Richard Rowe"],"tags":["Sustainability","Theory of planned behavior","Energy (signal processing)","Transport engineering","Environmental economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0325196","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W7117132422","name":"Utilizing Carbonated Reclaimed Water as Concrete Mixing Water: Improved CO2 Uptake and Compressive Strength","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study investigates the carbonation degree of reclaimed water (RW) and its potential use as mixing water for cementitious materials under controlled laboratory conditions using a simplified CO2 injection method. To reproduce the chemical environment of actual RW, a synthetic reclaimed water (SRW) system with a cement-to-sand ratio of 8:2 was prepared and used throughout the evaluation. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the cementitious solids suspended in SRW exhibit high reactivity with CO2, achieving a net CO2 uptake of 16.8%, equivalent to 8.31 g of CO2 sequestered per kilogram of RW. The use of untreated RW as mixing water slightly reduced flowability and increased superplasticizer demand compared with distilled water, whereas carbonation treatment of RW improved workability and mitigated the rapid initial setting typically observed with untreated RW. Notably, replacing 3% of the cement with carbonated RW solids did not cause any reduction in compressive strength, indicating that the carbonated solids can be incorporated without compromising mechanical performance. These results confirm that the CaCO3 formed during RW carbonation remains stably retained within mortar and concrete, demonstrating the feasibility of using carbonated RW as a dual-function material—serving both as mixing water and as a medium for CO2 sequestration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ma19010076","authors":["Hoon Moon","Muhammad Haseeb Zaheer","Indong Jang","Gi-Joon Park","Jung-Jun Park","Sehee Hong","Namkon Lee"],"tags":["Carbonation","Compressive strength","Cementitious","Mixing (physics)","Distilled water"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ma19010076","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W7160791224","name":"Significance of Carbon Capture and Transportation Methods in CCUS for Waste-to-Energy Sector in Finland : a Feasibility Analysis of Carbon Capture Technologies and Transportation Methods of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage in Finnish Waste-to-Energy Plants","source":"openalex","abstract":"Climate change and the need to achieve carbon neutrality have increased the importance of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) in hard to abate sectors such as Waste to Energy (WtE).

The study is based on secondary data analysis. Five carbon capture technologies were compared, and based on the technical analysis, amine based chemical absorption was identified as the most suitable option for retrofitting existing plants due to its high technology readiness level (TRL) and adaptability to low-concentration flue gas. Transportation options including pipeline, truck, rail, and ship were assessed for both CCS (storage in the North Sea) and CCU scenarios. Financial feasibility was calculated for all nine Finnish WtE plants under various transportation combinations, considering transportation via Vuosaari port and via the nearest ports to the closest CO₂ storage or utilization sites. The results indicate that rail combined with shipping currently offers the lowest total cost, although all scenarios result in net losses under current incentive levels.

One way to capture carbon is through mineral carbonation, in which Ca and Mg compounds react with CO 2 to form stable carbonate minerals such as calcite, dolomite, magnesite and/or siderite, permanently sequestering CO 2 . Various techniques are available to measure the amount of permanently bound CO 2 and quantify the carbonation potential. The suitability and accuracy of a particular method are very important, as the accurate determination of CO 2 is crucial to correctly assess the sequestration potential of different materials. This study compares the three methods: calcimetric, gravimetric and thermogravimetric analysis used for CO 2 determination in different types of ash, slag and natural rock. While the CO 2 content in natural rock is stable, the CO 2 content in slag and ash can change over time as the contained minerals gradually absorb CO 2 (by natural or accelerated carbonation) until they are fully carbonated. To avoid errors in testing the CO 2 uptake, as-received samples were first exposed to the full carbonation process and then tested. The comparison of calcimeter, thermogravimetric and gravimetric analysis of ground and sieved samples with a particle size below 125 μm shows that the results usually differ by less than 2 %. Higher deviations could be caused by non-carbonate minerals (especially in slags) that can react with hydrochloric acid during the calcimetric and gravimetric tests and/or decompose in the range where carbonates decompose, contributing to inaccurate CO 2 measurements. The measurement uncertainty was calculated for all three quantitative methods to allow a practical comparability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ceramint.2025.07.109","authors":["Nika Kavčič","Sara Tominc","Lea Žibret","Gorazd Žibret","Mitja Kolar","Vilma Ducman"],"tags":["Materials science","Natural (archaeology)","Content (measure theory)","Mineralogy","Chemical engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ceramint.2025.07.109","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W3138544181","name":"Tackling the Risk of Stranded Electricity Assets with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence","source":"openalex","abstract":"The Paris Agreement on climate change requires nations to keep the global temperature within the 2°C carbon budget.

Inspired by this slogan, this study was directed to find out the causes of AKIin admitted patients in United Hospital Limited between July 2015 to February 2017. Total 98 patients were includedin the study. In our study, Infection and cardio-renal syndrome were the leading causes of AKI. Drug induced AKI alsocontributed a significant portion.

These alternative, low-carbon fuels often come with increased prices and operational expenses for the vessel operators, which are ultimately reflected in the passengers' costs. Therefore, it is important to assess passengers' familiarity with expressions linked to decarbonisation and their willingness to pay this 'green premium' for alternative fuels. To assess these, we ran a survey-based study and collected close to 2000 answers through different channels from marine passengers, specifically from those travelling in the Northern European region on roll-on/roll-off passenger (RoPax) vessels. We found that most of the passengers prioritise environmental friendliness in marine fuels and are concerned about environmental issues. However, there seems to be a lack of knowledge about fuels and fuel technologies. Familiarity with certain alternative fuel-related expressions results in a more positive view of them. The observed willingness to pay is affected by the level of education, income, and place of residence, in addition to the level of concern about environmental issues, frequency of travel and spending on trips. Close to 80% of passengers are willing to increase their spending if the vessel is powered by a low-carbon, alternative fuel. As the results indicate that the more passengers know about alternative fuels and their benefits, the more willing they are to pay for them, it is recommended that RoPax operators invest in educating them.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24714","authors":["Judit Nyári","Árpád I.

Methanotrophic upgrading of natural gas to valuable products is poised to become a very attractive option for owners of natural gas resources, regardless of whether they are connected to the gas grids.

This article analyses survey data from the Energy Efficiency Index of German Industry (EEI), revealing that manufacturing companies aim to reduce 22.1% of their 2019 emissions by 2025 and 27.3% by 2030, primarily through on-site measures. However, given the slow pace of renewable capacity expansion and the increasing electrification across sectors, it becomes evident that the envisaged green electricity share of 80% by 2030 will require far more capacity than currently planned. To address this challenge, the article introduces a decarbonisability factor to better assess on-site versus off-site measures, highlighting the need for a strategic sequencing of efficiency and renewable generation.

Focusing on unique transition dynamics across four carbon-based power generation formats, this study compares environmental dimension indicators across typical ESG evaluation frameworks and proposes an innovative evaluation index model of environmental performance based on common metrics, with a particular emphasis on their contribution potential to the “Dual Carbon Goals”. The framework’s core innovation lies in its Dual Carbon-focused indicator system, which evaluates three critical indicators overlooked by mainstream ESG methodologies. It extends to include upstream/downstream processes, addressing gaps in current evaluation systems. The findings reveal that core environmental issues, such as climate change, pollution emissions, and resource utilization, exhibit broad commonality in ESG evaluations. Among the assessed indicators, carbon emission intensity carries the highest weight, underscoring its centrality in each power generation sector’s efforts to align with the Dual Carbon Goals. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrates that underground coal gasification combined cycle power generation has a relatively favorable environmental performance, ranking slightly below natural gas combined cycle but above shale gas combined cycle power generation. In contrast, traditional coal-fired power generation exhibits significantly poorer environmental outcomes, highlighting both the efficacy of technological upgrades in reducing emissions and the urgent need for transitioning away from conventional coal-based power.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18164337","authors":["Chaojie Li","Xiankui Wen","Ying Zhang","Ruyue Guo","Siran Peng"],"tags":["Dual (grammatical number)","Index (typography)","Carbon fibers","Environmental economics","Power (physics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18164337","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.016Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410759971","name":"Mapping VEXAS ‐associated and rare UBA1 variants in the United Kingdom : Insights from patient cohorts and the general population","source":"openalex","abstract":"Somatic mutations in UBA1 are linked to VEXAS syndrome, a late-onset inflammatory disorder with rheumatological and haematological features, primarily affecting elderly men. This study examines the epidemiology of VEXAS in the United Kingdom using genomic databases and patient cohorts to estimate prevalence, identify novel UBA1 variants and predict their pathogenicity. Analysing data from the UK Biobank, 100 000 Genomes Project and clinical diagnostic laboratories, we found that VEXAS prevalence in UK males over 50 is lower than in US-based cohorts. Notably, canonical (Met41) UBA1 mutations appear in ~1% of individuals with autoinflammatory disorders who have not been referred to haematology. However, among those investigated for myeloid malignancies, VEXAS is relatively common, with an estimated incidence of 1.51 per 100 000, or 171 new cases each year. We identified 47 UBA1 non-Met41 variants of uncertain significance, with several showing clonal dominance and clustering in functional domains, suggesting potential pathogenicity. Clinical presentation associated with non-Met41 variants often diverged from classical VEXAS features, underscoring the need for further studies.

CO2 flooding, as an important approach for enhancing gas recovery while achieving carbon sequestration, is often restricted by gas channeling. Based on the sandstone reservoir parameters of the Shihezi Formation in the Ordos Basin, a two-dimensional fracture–matrix coupled numerical model was developed to systematically investigate the effects of fracture number, fracture inclination, fracture width, injection pressure, and permeability contrast on gas breakthrough time and sweep efficiency. A second-order regression model was further established using response surface methodology (RSM). The results show that a moderate fracture density can extend breakthrough time and improve sweep efficiency, while permeability contrast is the fundamental factor controlling gas channeling risk. When the contrast increases from 0.7 to 9.9, the breakthrough efficiency decreases from 88.5% to 68.9%. The response surface analysis reveals significant nonlinear interactions, including the coupled effects of fracture number with fracture width, injection pressure, and inclination angle. Under the optimized conditions, the breakthrough time can be extended to 46,984 h, with a corresponding sweep efficiency of 87.7%.

Summary of these articles have been outlined in subsequent sub-sections and illustrated in Figure 1.In 3D seismic structural characterization of faulted subsurface reservoirs in the northern East Cameron Block, Gulf of America continental shelf: implications for CO₂ sequestration (O'Donnell et al., 2025;10.3389/feart.2025.1577336), high-resolution seismic interpretation and well-log integration were applied to the Miocene-Pliocene successions offshore Louisiana. The authors mapped rollover anticlines, salt-related growth faults, and regional sealing units that control plume migration and containment efficiency. Their study identified more than twenty structural closures capable of storing ~70 Mt of supercritical CO₂, emphasizing the significance of detailed fault geometry and seal integrity for safe long-term injection. This work demonstrates how 3D seismic data can bridge the gap between hydrocarbon exploration heritage and new CCUS potential in mature basins, providing a transferable workflow for other continental shelf provinces.A broader regional perspective is provided by A framework for regional high-level technical screening of promising CCUS value chains (Lothe et al., 2025;10.3389/feart.2025.1641951). Within the EUfunded CCUS ZEN project, this study developed a harmonized screening workflow integrating emission mapping, transport infrastructure, and storage readiness across the Baltic and Mediterranean regions. Using open-source geospatial datasets, the authors delineated industrial clusters, transport corridors, and storage units in saline aquifers and depleted fields, culminating in eight prototype CCUS value chains. Their analysis revealed that the Baltic region holds roughly triple the storage capacity of the Mediterranean, underscoring both geological potential and the need for coordinated transnational infrastructure. The framework offers a replicable methodology for other emerging CCUS regions to evaluate source-sink matching and storage maturity efficiently.Complementing the continental framework, CO₂ storage options in development of CCUS value chain scenarios in northern Poland (Wójcicki, 2025;10.3389/feart.2025.1679609) applies the CCUS ZEN principles to a specific Central European corridor.

Using data from a sample of Chinese provinces and enterprises between 2011 and 2022, this study quantifies, evaluates, and explores the influence and mechanisms of new quality productivity on the low-carbon transformation of carbon-intensive industries. The research findings show that: (1) Fostering new quality productivity effectively promotes the low-carbon transformation of carbon-intensive industries and plays a positive, empowering role. Industrial innovation, digital stimulation, technological innovation, and green empowerment all support the low-carbon transformation of carbon-intensive industries, with their respective impacts gradually decreasing in turn.

In micro-level carbon-intensive enterprises, a positive U-shaped relationship between new quality productivity and low-carbon transformation of carbon-intensive industries is evident, and the main pathways include increasing low-carbon, energy-saving investment and improving the ESG performance of high-carbon emission enterprises. (3) Advancing transformation is more pronounced in central and western areas, high-carbon areas, non-carbon trading pilot areas, and non-energy-rich ecologically fragile areas.

Reviewing the medium- and long-term development trend of natural gas consumption is the prerequisite to better understanding the status of natural gas and ensure the sustainable development of natural gas industry. In this paper, a multi-model comparison framework is established on the basis of 8 representative integrated assessment models (CE3METL, DNE21+, IPAC, AIM/CGE, IMAGE, REMIND, WITCH and POLES). Then, the medium- and long-term evolution trend of China's total primary energy consumption and natural gas consumption in different scenarios of climate policy is discussed. In addition, comparative analysis is conducted on key time nodes such as 2030, 2045 and 2060. And the following research results are obtained. Firstly, the prediction results of most models indicate that China's total primary energy consumption in 2060 will be lower than the level in 2019 except for the scenario of national determined contribution (NDC). Secondly, by 2060, the carbon neutrality goal year, the cross-model average level of natural gas consumption under the NDC, 2.0 °C, and 1.5 °C scenarios will be 6943 × 108 m3, 4342 × 108 m3 and 2502 × 108 m3, respectively. Thirdly, under the 1.5 °C scenario, the decrease of total primary energy consumption shall begin in 2020, which means that faster technological progress and more effective combination of “nudge” policies are needed. Fourthly, under the temperature control goal of 2.0 °C, natural gas consumption will account for about 13.6% of China's primary energy consumption in 2060, and this proportion will drop to 9% under the stricter 1.5 °C scenario. In conclusion, the multi-model comparison results can present different development paths of China's total primary energy consumption and natural gas consumption and its proportion during 2020–2060 more comprehensively, so as to provide support for formulating the medium- and long-term policies and strategies of natural gas industry under the challenge of climate change.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ngib.2021.07.004","authors":["Hongbo Duan","Xu Tang","Kaipeng Ren","Yu Ding"],"tags":["Natural gas","Consumption (sociology)","Primary energy","Energy consumption","Sustainable development"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-08-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ngib.2021.07.004","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410918226","name":"An Organic Solvent-Free Route for Preparing Silica-Alkoxylated Polyethylenimine Adsorbents for CO2 Capture","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Mesoporous silica-supported polyethylenimine (PEI) and, more recently, alkoxylated PEI (APEI) are promising adsorbents for CO 2 capture, displaying high adsorption capacity and selectivity. Wet impregnation is the established synthesis procedure for preparing silica-PEI. However, excessive quantities of organic solvents, particularly methanol, have invariably been used for both PEI alkoxylation and polymer mixing with silica. This study demonstrates an organic solvent-free synthesis method for 1) mesoporous silica preparation from sodium silicate solution, 2) PEI alkoxylation, and 3) the subsequent impregnation of silica-PEI using minimal water, typically with a water-to-silica mass ratio not exceeding 1.0. For large scale samples (up to 5 kg) preparation, controlled drying is essential to retain approximately 5 Wt.% moisture, preserving CO 2 capture performance. APEIs can be tailored for direct air capture (30 °C) and industrial processes (50 °C) by controlling the alkoxylation chemistry and degree. Silica-APEI exhibits enhanced oxidative stability and reduced moisture coadsorption, which extend operational lifespan and lower regeneration energy consumption. This water-based synthesis eliminates the need for excess organic solvents, such as methanol, preventing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, reducing drying energy consumption, and enhancing sustainability, making large-scale production commercially viable.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.5c02616","authors":["Wei Li","Lee A.

The techno-economic analysis confirmed the economic viability of the homogeneous process, with a production cost of $1.18/kg and favorable investment indicators, whereas the heterogeneous route proved economically unattractive under the evaluated assumptions. Sensitivity analysis identified the selling price of formic acid as the most critical profitability parameter, with the homogeneous process remaining robust across varying conditions.

This indicated that, with the increase of CO2 absorption volume of cement mortar before carbonation increases under ultrasonic vibration, the carbonization process of the hardened body of cement mortar might be decelerated to some extent. Additionally, changes in internal composition and physical images of cement-based materials after absorption of CO2 were analyzed through microtest means like SEM and XRD. A carbonation resistance model was constructed, thus enabling disclosure of the variation mechanism of carbonation resistance of cement-based materials after absorption of CO2 under mechanical stirring and ultrasonic vibration. Results demonstrated that the higher CO2 absorption volume of fresh slurry generated more “nano-level” CaCO3 crystal nucleus. Accordingly, it could improve the porous structure of the cement mortar, decrease the quantity of capillary tubes significantly, improve the compaction degree of cement-based materials effectively, and lower the diffusion rate of CO2 in the cement paste base, thus improving the carbonation resistance.

Close coupling of Iberian hydroclimate and North Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) during recent glacial periods has been identified through the analysis of marine sediment and pollen grains co-deposited on the Portuguese continental margin.

Here we present a high-resolution, multi-proxy (growth dynamics and δ13C, δ18O, and δ234U values) composite stalagmite record of hydroclimate from two caves in western Portugal across the majority of the last two glacial cycles (∼220 ka). At orbital and millennial scales, stalagmite-based proxies for hydroclimate proxies covaried with SST, with elevated δ13C, δ18O, and δ234U values and/or growth hiatuses indicating reduced effective moisture coincident with periods of lowered SST during major ice-rafted debris events, in agreement with changes in palynological reconstructions of continental climate. While in many cases the Portuguese stalagmite record can be scaled to SST, in some intervals the magnitudes of stalagmite isotopic shifts, and possibly hydroclimate, appear to have been somewhat decoupled from SST.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-14-1893-2018","authors":["Rhawn F.

METHODS: A non-blinded, two-arm, randomized controlled trial was conducted with 78 ACS patients randomly allocated to either an intervention group or a control group. The control group received conventional education, while the intervention group received conventional education supplemented with training via an interactive avatar application. The application provided guidance on self-care practices, recognition of heart attack symptoms, and appropriate responses. Data were collected at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months post-discharge using demographic questionnaires, the Self-Care of Coronary Heart Disease Inventory, and the ACS Response Index. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests, independent samples t-tests, and Mann-Whitney U tests. RESULTS: At the 3-month follow-up, participants in the intervention group exhibited significantly higher scores on both the Self-Care of Coronary Heart Disease Inventory and ACS Response Index compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, during the 3-month follow-up period, all patients in the intervention group (100%) ceased activity and took sublingual nitroglycerin upon experiencing heart attack symptoms, compared to 80% in the control group. CONCLUSIONS: The interactive avatar application proved effective in improving knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and self-care behaviors among ACS patients. This innovative educational tool holds promise for enhancing patient outcomes in ACS management.

However, the production of e-fuels and e-chemicals requires large amounts of low-carbon electricity and, in many cases, biogenic CO2. From a resource sufficiency perspective, this master’s thesis examines whether sufficient resources exist for large-scale e-fuel production in the EU and assesses Finland’s potential role in the EU PtX Ecosystem. This thesis develops a decarbonisation scenario for the EU industry and transport and estimates the corresponding demand for low-carbon electricity, hydrogen, biofuels, CCU fuels, and associated biogenic carbon dioxide. Based on the scenario and underlying assumptions of this thesis, low-carbon electricity production should be scaled by 3% per year between 2023 and 2050, hydrogen electrolysis capacity by 30%, and carbon capture capacity by 22% per year between 2024 and 2050 in the EU. The large-scale CCU-based fuel production envisioned in the scenarios developed in this thesis would require direct air carbon capture, as Europe’s biogenic CO2 capture potential was estimated to meet only around two-thirds of the carbon dioxide demand in these scenarios. During the transition period, shortages of sustainable fuels in the EU are likely to be addressed through imports of sustainable fuels and electricity, as well as the use of fossil-based CCU fuels. Finland is an exception in the EU development, as it possesses sufficient electricity and bioresources to decarbonise its industry and transport sectors. This creates significant export potential for e-fuels and e-chemicals, such as e-kerosene, e-methanol, e-diesel, e-naptha, and e-methane. However, achieving this potential requires transformative scaling of electricity production, electrolysis, and carbon capture technologies - hydrogen electrolysis capacity would need to increase by approximately 30-34% per year between 2024 and 2050, low-carbon electricity capacity by 2-5% per year between 2025 and 2050, and carbon capture capacity to reach a total of 4-25 Mt CO2 by 2050 in Finland.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7203841336","authors":["Elina Leinonen"],"tags":["Production (economics)","Natural resource economics","Electricity","Economic shortage","Business"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-08","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W7154960660","name":"Technical and environmental assessment of renewable dimethyl ether production from CO2 in different european contexts","source":"openalex","abstract":"This work highlights the differences between two dimethyl ether (DME) production pathways from CO 2 : (S1) intensified direct conversion of CO 2 and H 2 via sorption-enhanced DME synthesis (SEDMES) in a single reactor, (S2) indirect conversion in two steps via methanol as an intermediate product followed by dehydration to DME; For this purpose, flue gas from a cement production plant was considered as the CO 2 source and membrane separation (MS) was used for carbon capture, while hydrogen was generated via water electrolysis. ProSimPlus® software, was used for process simulation. Starting from 5,864 kg CO 2 , scenario S2 produces 2,433 kg/h of DME, which is lower than 2,929.5 kg/h in S1. In addition, S1 shows significantly lower electrical and heating energy consumption per kgDME produced: 17.80 kWh and 3.07 MJ, respectively, compared to 22.59 kWh and 10.14 MJ in S2. The environmental analysis was carried out using a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, with the production of 1 kg of high-purity DME defined as the functional unit and compared with the traditional production of DME (S3) from fossil methanol (MeOH). The results show that the electricity source plays an important role in determining the environmental impact in the context of North-West Europe with a focus on the Netherlands. If the SSP2-NDC trajectory is considered, for the Dutch electricity mix, the GWP100 impacts of both scenarios decrease significantly over year (2020–2050). For instance, in S2, GWP100 could decrease from 3.46 kg CO 2 -eq/kgDME in 2020 to −1.41 kg CO 2 -eq/kgDME by 2050 due to planned electricity defossilization in the Netherlands. Same for S1, GWP100 value dropped from 2.08 to −1.63 kg CO 2 -eq/kgDME, indicating climate positive outcomes. However, S3 maintains a stable GWP100 impact of around 1.2 kg CO 2 -eq/kg DME over years, due to its fossil fuel-based nature. This study demonstrated that S1 and S2 offer promising alternatives to the conventional fossil DME production pathway highlighting the importance of electricity sources.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fceng.2026.1796275","authors":["Mohamad Kanso","Jurriaan Boon","A.

However, the generalisability of these findings is uncertain due to the limited sample size, the enrolment of patients at a single study site, and the reliability issues associated with laboratory-developed tests and varying levels of operator experience. This study aims to validate the accuracy attributes of peripheral blood neutrophil myeloperoxidase expression quantified by flow cytometric analysis in an independent multicentre sample. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The MPO-MDS-Valid project is a cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study comparing an index test to a reference standard. Consecutive adult patients referred for suspicion of MDS are being recruited at seven university hospitals and one cancer centre in France. At each site, flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood samples is performed by operators who are blinded to the reference diagnosis. A central adjudication committee whose members are unaware of the index test results will determine the reference diagnosis of MDS, based on cytomorphological evaluation of bone marrow performed in duplicate by experienced hematopathologists.

Combined with CO 2 capture and storage, thermocatalytic hydrogenation of CO 2 to CH 3 OH with green or blue hydrogen, offers an attractive route to mitigate CO 2 emissions and to decarbonize the chemical industry. Numerous studies have been focused on catalysts based on supported metallic nanoparticles; these catalysts consist of at least one transition or coinage metal and a promoter element combined with an oxide support to disperse the active phase. Besides Zn-promoters used in Cu-based hydrogenation catalysts, numerous reports point to Ga as a promoter for methanol synthesis. In recent years, Ga has been shown to convert almost all transition metals toward selective methanol synthesis, but its specific role remains a topic of discussions. In this Account, we summarize how surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) has enabled the discovery of novel catalysts and the development of detailed structure–activity relationships. Particularly, we show that Ga uniquely generates alloys with transition and coinage (Cu) metal elements across groups 8–11 and converts them into selective methanol synthesis catalysts. Specifically, we highlight the role of M–Ga alloy formation, alloy stability, and the formation of M(Ga)–GaO x interfaces under reaction conditions. This has been possible thanks to the combination of SOMC, which enables the formation of supported nanoparticles with tailored compositions and interfaces, and state-of-the-art characterization including operando techniques along with computational modeling, including ab initio molecular dynamic calculations. Dynamic alloying–dealloying behaviors under reaction conditions and the formation of M/MGa–GaO x interfaces are identified as key drivers for efficient methanol formation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.accounts.5c00581","authors":["Colin Hansen","Wei Zhou","Christophe Copéret"],"tags":["Catalysis","Transition metal","Methanol","Chemistry","Oxide"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.accounts.5c00581","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406176360","name":"Supercritical CO2-Stable Cementing Materials Based on Vinyl Ester Resin for Maintaining Wellbore Integrity","source":"openalex","abstract":"Ensuring long-term wellbore integrity is critical for carbon dioxide geological storage. Ordinary Portland cement (PC) is usually used for wellbore primary cementing and plug operation, and set cement is easily corroded by acidic fluids, such as carbon dioxide, in underground high-temperature and high-pressure (HTHP) environments, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties and an increase in permeability. In order to achieve long-term wellbore integrity in a CO2-rich environment This study introduces materials such as thermosetting vinyl ester resin (TSR), filler composite resin (FCR), and low-cost resin cement (RC). Corrosion experiments were conducted using four materials in 28 days under supercritical carbon dioxide gas and water phase conditions of 60 °C and 10 MPa. The samples were characterized through mechanical property testing machines, core permeability measuring instruments, FTIR, XRD, and SEM. The results proved that after corrosion, PC mechanical properties decreased, the permeability increased, and the microscopic composition and morphology changed greatly. Penetrating corrosion occurs in the sample in the gas phase environment, and propulsive corrosion from outside to inside occurs in the water phase environment. However, TSR, FCR, and RC materials all maintain excellent resistance to carbon dioxide corrosion in gas and water environments. They have higher compressive strength and extremely low permeability compared to ordinary Portland cement. These three materials’ compressive strengths can be maintained around 131, 99, and 58 MPa, and permeability can be stabilized at <6 × 10−7, <6 × 10−7, and 0.16 mD levels. In summary, the above three materials all show better performance than ordinary Portland cement and are promising alternative materials that can be used in primary cementing and plug operations of carbon dioxide geological storage wells.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ma18020244","authors":["Zhong Li","Zhiming Yin","Dingzhao Zhou","Zhiqiang Wu","Daohang Wang","Shuwen Guan","Guangyan Du"],"tags":["Wellbore","Supercritical fluid","Materials science","Vinyl ester","Composite material"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ma18020244","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W3119967312","name":"An Integrated Comparative Assessment of Coal-Based Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Vis-à-Vis Renewable Energies in India’s Low Carbon Electricity Transition Scenarios","source":"openalex","abstract":"Roadmaps for India’s energy future foresee that coal power will continue to play a considerable role until the middle of the 21st century. Among other options, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is being considered as a potential technology for decarbonising the power sector. Consequently, it is important to quantify the relative benefits and trade-offs of coal-CCS in comparison to its competing renewable power sources from multiple sustainability perspectives. In this paper, we assess coal-CCS pathways in India up to 2050 and compare coal-CCS with conventional coal, solar PV and wind power sources through an integrated assessment approach coupled with a nexus perspective (energy-cost-climate-water nexus). Our levelized costs assessment reveals that coal-CCS is expensive and significant cost reductions would be needed for CCS to compete in the Indian power market. In addition, although carbon pricing could make coal-CCS competitive in relation to conventional coal power plants, it cannot influence the lack of competitiveness of coal-CCS with respect to renewables. From a climate perspective, CCS can significantly reduce the life cycle GHG emissions of conventional coal power plants, but renewables are better positioned than coal-CCS if the goal is ambitious climate change mitigation. Our water footprint assessment reveals that coal-CCS consumes an enormous volume of water resources in comparison to conventional coal and, in particular, to renewables. To conclude, our findings highlight that coal-CCS not only suffers from typical new technology development related challenges—such as a lack of technical potential assessments and necessary support infrastructure, and high costs—but also from severe resource constraints (especially water) in an era of global warming and the competition from outperforming renewable power sources. Our study, therefore, adds a considerable level of techno-economic and environmental nexus specificity to the current debate about coal-based large-scale CCS and the low carbon energy transition in emerging and developing economies in the Global South.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en14020262","authors":["Mitavachan Hiremath","Peter Viebahn","Sascha Samadi"],"tags":["Coal","Renewable energy","Environmental economics","Clean coal","Nexus (standard)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-01-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en14020262","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402252619","name":"Fumarate production from pyruvate and low concentrations of CO 2 with a multi-enzymatic system in the presence of NADH and ATP","source":"openalex","abstract":"Fumarate production from pyruvate and low-concentration CO 2 below 15% with a multi-enzyme system consisting of pyruvate carboxylase, malate dehydrogenase and fumarase in the presence of ATP and NADH was developed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d4nj03485f","authors":["Mika Takeuchi","Yutaka Amao"],"tags":["Chemistry","Enzyme","Biochemistry","Production (economics)","Economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d4nj03485f","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4281400632","name":"Technical Summary","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1017/9781009157940.002","authors":["IPCC"],"tags":["Computer science","Database"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-05-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1017/9781009157940.002","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W4414095341","name":"Pathway Evolution Modeling of Provincial Power Systems Under Multi-Scenario Carbon Constraints: An Empirical Analysis of Guangdong, China","source":"openalex","abstract":"China’s energy system is transitioning from a state of coal-dependent, low-electrification to a low-carbon, high-electrification paradigm.

Distinct carbon emission trajectories are established on the basis of Guangdong’s allocated carbon budget, and the analysis evaluates the resulting power system structures and transition pathways under each scenario.

ICU length of stay [odds ratio (OR): 1.141; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.020–1.275], Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score upon admission (OR: 1.496; 95% CI: 1.261–1.775), comorbidity with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (OR: 4.620; 95% CI: 1.665–12.821), comorbidity with pulmonary diseases (OR: 4.150; 95% CI: 1.722–10.000), duration of mechanical ventilation >7 days (OR: 3.457; 95% CI: 1.502–7.955), and number of invasive procedures (OR: 1.845; 95% CI: 1.239–2.748) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ICU patients with MDRO infections. A logistic regression equation was developed: logistic regression equation = −20.646 + 0.132X1 (ICU stay) + 0.403X2 (APACHE II score) + 1.530X3 (cardiovascular/cerebrovascular comorbidities) + 1.423X4 (pulmonary comorbidities) + 1.240X5 (mechanical ventilation >7 days) + 0.613X6 (invasive procedures). The model was statistically significant (likelihood ratio chi-square test, P < 0.05) and demonstrated a good fit (Hosmer–Lemeshow test, P > 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.913 (0.85 ≤ AUC <0.95), with 65.67% sensitivity, 93.78% specificity, and 86.54% accuracy in predicting the survival/death risk in MDRO-infected patients, indicating strong discriminatory power. Conclusion ICU patients with MDRO infections exhibit diverse pathogens. Prompt preventive and control measures should be implemented based on the characteristics of MDRO infections and high-risk factors associated with prognosis to reduce the risk of death following MDRO infections.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2025.1658683","authors":["Fengxia Du","Qun Ji","Ying Li","Jing Jia","Rui Xi"],"tags":["Medicine","Etiology","Intensive care medicine","Emergency medicine","Intensive care unit"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2025.1658683","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409543244","name":"Assembly and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Leonurus japonicus (Lamiaceae)","source":"openalex","abstract":"Leonurus japonicus Houtt. (L. japonicus), as an important plant resource with both ornamental and medicinal value, has now spread worldwide and is widely studied. Currently, its chromosomal genome and chloroplast genome (cpDNA) have been reported, but the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) has not yet been explored. In this study, we extracted DNA from fresh leaves of L. japonicus and performed sequencing and assembly of its mtDNA using both second-generation and third-generation sequencing technologies. The complete mtDNA of L. japonicus is 382,905 bp in length, with a GC content of 45.13%. This genome includes 15 tRNA genes, 32 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and 4 rRNA genes. In this mtDNA genome, we predicted a total of 480 RNA editing sites among the 32 PCGs. Subsequently, we conducted analyses on repetitive sequences, organelle genome sequence migration, and Relative Synonymous Codon Usage (RSCU). There are 28 homologous sequence fragments between the mtDNA and cpDNA of L. japonicus, which are related to the migration of 10 mtDNA genes. The RSCU analysis predicted 28 high-frequency codons, most of which prefer to end with A/U. Selection pressure analysis indicated that the Ka/Ks ratio for the majority of PCGs is less than 1, suggesting they are highly conserved during evolutionary processes. Phylogenetic results from 24 species indicate that the genera Leonurus and Scutellaria within the Lamiaceae family have the closest relationships. In summary, we have successfully assembled the complete mtDNA of L. japonicus by integrating second-generation and third-generation sequencing data for the first time. Subsequent multi-faceted analyses have allowed us to gain deeper insights into the numerous features of this genome, providing important reference data for the molecular genetics, dynamic evolution, and species identification of this plant. This work promotes the conservation and development of this important resource of medicinal and edible plants.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-97594-z","authors":["Qun Hu","Qing Li","Ying Mao","Yongjian Luo","Zhijun Deng","Wenhu Zhang"],"tags":["Lamiaceae","Genome","Biology","Computational biology","Mitochondrial DNA"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-97594-z","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W4417491273","name":"Advancement in Calcium Looping for Carbon Capture: A Content and Bibliometric Review of 20 years of Research","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions pose global challenges, necessitating carbon neutrality in future development.

This design enables synergistic noncovalent interactions-including hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and electrostatic forces-to construct a thermally reconfigurable supramolecular network. Upon mild heating, the system transitions from ordered to amorphous states, facilitating dynamic cohesion and interfacial adaptability across both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrates. The resulting adhesive achieves high lap-shear strength (up to 4.6 MPa on polyethylene terephthalate (PET)), rapid curing, and exceptional resistance to solvents, humidity, and low temperatures. Moreover, it enables fully reversible adhesion and closed-loop recyclability. Combined experimental characterizations and molecular simulations reveal how the interplay of molecular architecture and noncovalent synergy governs adhesion performance.

In our exploration of prognostic factors in HCC, the 26s proteasome subunit, non-ATPase 1 (PSMD1) protein emerged as a significant contributor, demonstrating its potential as a therapeutic target in this aggressive cancer. PSMD1 is a subunit of the 19S regulatory particle in the 26S proteasome complex; the 19S particle controls the deubiquitination of ubiquitinated proteins, which are then degraded by the proteolytic activity of the complex. Proteasome-targeting in cancer therapy has received significant attention because of its practical application as an established anticancer agent. We investigated whether PSMD1 plays a critical role in cancer owing to its prognostic significance. PSMD1 depletion induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase, DNA damage and apoptosis of cancer cells, irrespective of the p53 status. PSMD1 depletion-mediated cell death was accompanied by an increase in overall protein ubiquitination. These phenotypes occurred exclusively in cancer cells, with no effects observed in normal cells.

In this approach, it is important to provide sufficient CO 2 directly from the absorbent solution to the catalyst, whereby the physically absorbed CO 2 appears to play a central role. Therefore, the absorbent solution used for integrated electrolysis must meet a wide range of requirements, as it needs to supply sufficient CO 2 while being compatible with the process conditions in the cell.

Sweden has a goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2045, where negative emissions – and bio-CCS (BECCS) in particular - have been proposed as an important strategy to reach this target at the lowest cost. The Swedish district heating sector constitutes a large potential for BECCS since there is a large number of relatively large biogenic point sources of CO2 in the form of combined heat and power (CHP) plants burning biomass residues from the forest industry. This study provides a multi-level estimation of the impact and potential of CO2 capture and negative emissions in 110 existing Swedish biomass or waste-fired CHP plants, located in 78 local district heating systems. Process models of CHP steam cycles give the impact of absorption-based CCS integration on CHP plant heat and electricity production. The propagation of the plant-level impact to the unit commitment of CHP plants in district heating systems is modelled, and the potential for CO2 capture in each system is estimated. The results indicate that 45-70% of nominal steam cycle district heating generation is retained when integrating carbon capture, depending on the power-to-heat ratio; although the reduced heat output can be moderated by sacrificing electricity generation. In the district heating system context, CCS integration can lead to increased utilization and fuel use of CHP plants, in synergy with increased CO2 capture, but might also lead to greater need for peak heat and/or electricity generation. The total CO2 captured from the 45 CHP plants with modeled CO2 emissions exceeding 150 kton/year could be sufficient to meet a proposed target of 3-10 Mton/year of BECCS by Year 2045.","url":"https://openalex.org/W3136187047","authors":["Johanna Beiron","Fredrik Normann","Filip Johnsson"],"tags":["Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Context (archaeology)","Environmental science","Power station"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W4396919319","name":"Carrots, Sticks, and the Evolution of U.S. Climate Policy","source":"openalex","abstract":"The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), enacted by Congress in 2022, is the most significant federal investment in decarbonization in U.S. history.

Traditional Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) production heats organic reactants with metal catalysts to form GNC/CNTs. As of now, the CVD CNT production has been limited by the high-energy costs, costs per weight comparable to precious metals, and a high CO2-footprint. C2CNT is an electrochemical methodology that overcomes the constraints of CVD, while producing high-quality CNT/GNCs. C2CNT is a molten carbonate CO2-electrolysis that makes GNCs. The C2CNT process also selectively produces a wider variety of CNTs (including helical, magnetic, and doped) and GNCs with higher product specificity than CVD by fine-tuning electrolysis parameters. The wide variety of CNTs/GNCs that can be produced by each of these methods is reviewed and discussed. The goal of this perspective is to compare GNC production methods.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cryst15100887","authors":["Gad Licht","Stuart Licht"],"tags":["Electrolysis","Materials science","Electrochemistry","Chemical vapor deposition","Carbon nanotube"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cryst15100887","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405401162","name":"Large-scale commercial-grade volatile fatty acids production from sewage sludge and food waste: A holistic environmental assessment","source":"openalex","abstract":"The valorization of sewage sludge and food waste to produce energy and fertilizers is a well-stablished strategy within the circular economy. Despite the success of numerous laboratory-scale experiments in converting waste into high-value products such as volatile fatty acids (VFAs), large-scale implementation remains limited due to various technical and environmental challenges. Here, we evaluate the environmental performance of a hypothetical large-scale VFAs biorefinery located in Galicia, Spain, which integrates fermentation and purification processes to obtain commercial-grade VFAs based on primary data from pilot plant operations. We identify potential environmental hotspots, assess the influence of different feedstocks, and perform sensitivity analyses on critical factors like transportation distances and pH control methods, using life cycle assessment. Our findings reveal that, on a per-product basis, food waste provides superior environmental performance compared to sewage sludge, which, conversely, performs better when assessed per mass of waste valorized. This suggests that higher process productivity from more suitable wastes leads to lower environmental impacts but must be balanced against increased energy and chemical consumption, as food waste processing requires more electricity for pretreatment and solid-liquid separation. Further analysis reveals that the main operational impacts are chemical-related, primarily due to the use of NaOH for pH adjustment. Additionally, facility location is critical, potentially accounting for up to 99% of operational impacts due to transportation. Overall, our analysis demonstrates that the proposed VFAs biorefinery has a carbon footprint comparable to other bio-based technologies. However, enhancements in VFAs purification processes are necessary to fully replace petrochemical production. These findings highlight the potential of waste valorization into VFAs as a sustainable alternative, emphasizing the importance of process optimization and strategic facility placement.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ese.2024.100518","authors":["Ander Castro-Fernandez","Sofía Estévez","Juan M.

The aim of this study was to characterize S. maltophilia strains isolated from HAI cases at the Hospital Juárez de México and to determine the presence of hidden outbreaks. Antibiotic resistance profiles were determined, along with the typing of 20 genes associated with virulence factors and the assessment of the ability to form mature biofilms on inert surfaces.

Methods: A combination of purposive and snowball sampling was employed to recruit 27 frontline clinical nurses from various ICU departments. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and an inductive content analysis of the interview transcripts was performed based on Cognitive Load Theory and the Job Demands-Resources Model. Results: The study found that alarm fatigue involves dynamic shifts among three cognitive states-cognitive reserve deficit, cognitive load balance, and cognitive overload-with overload being the immediate trigger. Nurses often enter ICU work with limited cognitive reserves. Whether they maintain balance or enter overload depends on the intensity of alarm-related demands and the availability of supportive resources. High-intensity demands for alarm response, such as high alarm frequency, persistent false alarms, multitasking, night shifts, and work-family conflict, are risk factors for alarm fatigue. Resources for alarm response may function as either effective or inadequate support, aligning with protective or risk factors, respectively. Effective support helps alleviate cognitive load and includes effective team collaboration, management's emphasis on alarm management, comprehensive theoretical training, high psychological adaptability, a strong sense of responsibility, and extensive work experience. Conversely, inadequate support increases cognitive load and includes lack of practical training, absence of formal regulations, outdated and malfunctioning equipment, crowded and noisy layout, emotional personality traits, insufficient or poor sleep, and suboptimal health status. Conclusion: Cognitive load as a mechanism linking the interaction between alarm response demands and available resources in the development of alarm fatigue among ICU nurses. To mitigate alarm fatigue, it is essential to reduce the intensity of alarm demands while enhancing resource support to relieve cognitive load. Organizational efforts should optimize alarm systems, establish formal protocols, and provide comprehensive training. Teams should reinforce collaboration and mutual support. Individually, nurses are encouraged to enhance psychological self-regulation and maintain sufficient sleep and physical health.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1654389","authors":["Ling Zhu","Siying Wei","Yawen An","Wenjun Hu","Xiaofeng Xie"],"tags":["ALARM","Cognition","Applied psychology","Qualitative research","Coping (psychology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1654389","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406902372","name":"DESENVOLVENDO O FUTURO DA REGULAMENTAÇÃO CLIMÁTICA: ANÁLISE E PROPOSTA DE POLÍTICA PARA CAPTURA E ARMAZENAMENTO DE CARBONO NO BRASIL","source":"openalex","abstract":"Este trabalho examina a trajetória e os desafios regulatórios relacionados às tecnologias de captura, utilização e armazenamento de dióxido de carbono (CCUS) no Brasil, destacando a necessidade de uma legislação robusta para apoiar a implementação dessas tecnologias em conformidade com os compromissos do Acordo de Paris.O Brasil, comprometido em reduzir suas emissões de gases de efeito estufa em 37% até 2025 e em 50% até 2030, com vistas à neutralidade de carbono até 2050, enfrenta o desafio de integrar tecnologias que permitam a mitigação dessas emissões enquanto fortalece sua matriz energética.A legislação brasileira sobre mudanças climáticas tem sido progressiva, com várias normas sendo estabelecidas para apoiar a transição para uma economia de baixo carbono.Contudo, o aumento do uso de combustíveis fósseis, como o gás natural, e sua participação na geração total de energia elétrica em substituição às hidrelétricas na matriz energética nacional sinaliza uma tendência preocupante que pode comprometer as metas de redução de emissões.A tecnologia de CCUS emerge como uma das soluções tecnológicas capaz de lidar com emissão de fontes estacionárias de larga escala e armazená-las em reservatórios geológicos, mitigando o impacto ambiental.O foco central desse estudo é a análise do Projeto de Lei nº 1425, de 2022, que visa regulamentar a atividade de armazenamento permanente de dióxido de carbono de interesse público.A proposta legislativa, desenvolvida a partir de projetos de pesquisa no Centro de Inovação de Gases de Efeito Estufa, procura estabelecer um marco regulatório que garanta segurança jurídica para os projetos de CCUS no Brasil.Esse marco legal inclui definições claras sobre a propriedade do CO 2 , ao longo do ciclo de vida do carbono no reservatório geológico, as diretrizes para operação e fechamento de instalações de armazenamento, e a gestão da responsabilidade de longo prazo.O trabalho também discute exemplos de legislação internacional, como a alemã, potencialmente subsidiária de modelo para o Brasil.Esses exemplos destacam a importância de uma abordagem regulatória que possa facilitar o desenvolvimento e a implementação eficaz de tecnologias CCUS, essenciais para o cumprimento das metas de descarbonização do país.Em conclusão, o estudo sublinha a urgência de aprimorar o quadro regulatório brasileiro para tecnologias de emissão negativa, essenciais para alcançar as ambiciosas metas climáticas do país e para promover um futuro sustentável e resiliente diante das mudanças climáticas globais.A implementação de uma política pública bem estruturada e financiada é crucial para garantir que o Brasil não apenas cumpra seus compromissos internacionais, mas também avance na direção de uma economia mais verde e inovadora.","url":"https://doi.org/10.71190/2024-12-1224350","authors":["Hirdan Katarina de Medeiros Costa","ISRAEL LACERDA DE ARAJO","MARIANA CIOTTA NORAH","CELSO GAETA TASSINARI","Edmílson Moutinho dos Santos"],"tags":["Humanities","Physics","Art"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.71190/2024-12-1224350","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W7125715508","name":"Determinants of mortality type in a high altitude Andean context using a multivariable logit regression model in Puno, Peru","source":"openalex","abstract":"Understanding the determinants of mortality type is central to evidence-based public health, particularly in high-altitude Andean regions where demographic, clinical, and health-system factors intersect.

The incentives are determined for each emitter in cement, electricity, paper and pulp, glass, oil refining, and petrochemical sectors based on varying European Union allowance (EUA) prices, CCS fund sizes, and CO2 emission scenarios. In addition to designing the methodology, a novel method for forecasting CO2 emissions is applied using geometric Brownian motion. The calculated incentives are categorized as underperforming, optimal, or overperforming, with upper and lower limits set to 80 and 10 EUR/t. The results are optimistic, since all sectors can be efficiently incentivized within the defined boundaries, meaning that the incentive system can be applied to all member states. The contracting of the incentives is proposed through carbon contracts for difference to avoid irregularities. Also, regulatory amendments are proposed so that emitters with emissions higher than 100 kt would have to consider CCS. Finally, the contributions are presented by proving the feasibility of the incentive system together with demonstrating its applicability to all member states.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su152215717","authors":["Filip Vodopić","Domagoj Vulin","Daria Karasalihović Sedlar","Lucija Jukić"],"tags":["Incentive","Environmental economics","Emissions trading","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Revenue"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-11-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su152215717","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391891142","name":"Clusters as Drivers of Regional Economic Development: Analysis of US Practice","source":"openalex","abstract":"Clusters are becoming one of the drivers of regional and national economic growth. Accumulating around themselves a number of advantages of territorial concentration of economic activity, clusters contribute to innovative development, improving the quality of labor resources, promoting companies to world markets, increasing their competitiveness. The purpose of the article is to define the cluster as a driver of regional economic development based on the analysis of US practice. To do this, the definition of clusters is given and their types are highlighted, the key subjects and the benefits created are identified, the direction of influence on the economy of the regions is formulated, the analysis of US clusters is carried out and modern development trends are identified. It is certain that the cluster in the region has an impact on economic development, forming the sectoral structure of the economy, creating political incentives, increasing competitiveness and productivity, attracting new companies and in other ways. It is shown that clusters can be divided into two groups: oriented to the external market (traded) and internal (local). This classification is important because clusters of the two groups manifest themselves differently in the regions. “External” clusters are interconnected by common technologies and highly skilled workers, they are concentrated in several regions, form the “core” of the regional economy and create a block of service industries. The development of this cluster group is well explained by the theories of exporting regions. The analysis of economic clusters according to the Institute of Strategy and Competitiveness of Harvard Business School showed that the average number of industries in clusters of this group is higher, there is close connectivity between clusters, there is growth in innovative, creative, educational and environmental clusters. The clusters of the group are oriented to the external market, and therefore they are distinguished by a high number of patents received. The construction of the model showed that the growth of the cluster depends on the initial number of employees, the level of wages and the number of patents received. Clusters focused on the domestic market are larger in the number of industries, differ in low wages and require little patenting. The analysis of the distribution of clusters by the number of employees according to Zipf’s law (the “rank-size” rule) showed the validity of such a division of clusters into groups. In conclusion, some current trends in the development of clusters were formulated.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20542/0131-2227-2024-68-2-27-38","authors":["Svetlana Rastvortseva","Natalya Cherepovskaya"],"tags":["Regional science","Economic geography","Regional development","Geography"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.20542/0131-2227-2024-68-2-27-38","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412627353","name":"CO2 Capture over Chitosan Biochars: Tailoring the Properties for Highly Efficient Adsorbents","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Chitosan biochars were prepared via two different pathways to obtain N-functionalized adsorbents.

The biochars obtained by direct carbonization of chitosan presented a lower BET area and nitrogen content than the carbons obtained from HTC chitosan, considering the same temperature of calcination. Among the biochars, CHIT-CO3-700 presented the highest CO 2 uptake (5.3 mmol·g –1 ), whereas HTC48-CO3-600, prepared upon calcination of HTC chitosan, presented 4.7 mmol·g –1 of CO 2 uptake, at 25 °C and 1 bar. These materials were characterized by different techniques and tested for the adsorption of CO 2 at different temperatures. The adsorption profiles were better fitted by the Freundlich isotherm and the second-order kinetic model. The selectivity for CO 2 /N 2 gas mixtures, taken from the Henry constant, was 1.7 and 10 for CHIT-CO3-700 and HTC48-CO3-600, respectively. In situ FTIR drift studies also indicated that the HTC48-CO3-600 biochar can retain some adsorbed CO 2 at 150 °C. These results may be explained by the higher total basicity of the HTC48-CO3-600 biochar, indicating that the initial hydrothermal carbonization of chitosan produces a biochar with improved properties for selective CO 2 capture.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5c02026","authors":["José A.

Following the Focused Update on Dyslipidaemia guidance provided by the ESC in 2025, our team decided to evaluate our use of lipid lowering therapies (LLT) during index hospitalisation of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). ESC guidelines advocate aiming for a target LDL-C level of <1.4 mmol/L and to intensify LLT when this is not achieved at Post MI follow-up. Our team was comprised of Resident Doctors and Cardiac Nurse Specialists working in collaboration to improve adherence to ESC guidelines within CCU as well as during Post MI Clinic (PMIC) follow-up. Methods Inclusion criteria involved identifying patients who had presented to our department with an ACS. Patients aged over 85 years old were excluded from the data collection. Following baseline data collection, education sessions were delivered to resident doctors and cardiac nurse specialists in ‘Cycle 1’ of this QIP. In ‘Cycle 2’ posters were displayed in the CCU which included a flowchart of the ESC guidelines. The two complete cycles were undertaken using the ‘Plan Do Study Act’ quality improvement methodology. Clear process, outcome and balancing measures were identified. Process measures included the percentage of patients having LDL-C blood levels measurement on admission and prior to PMIC. Balancing measures included the recognition that increasing LLT usage had the potential to result in increased medication related side effects. The primary outcome measure was the percentage of patients receiving LLT optimisation. Results Baseline data collection of 44 admissions over a 2-month period highlighted that whilst 71% patients were optimised on LLT during index admission, only 38.6% were optimised during PMIC. Data analysis in Cycle 1 included 35 patients presenting to CCU and PMIC, with 81.8% and 54.5% optimised during index admission and PMIC respectively. Data analysis in Cycle 2 included 33 patients, with at 81.8% and 75.8% receiving optimised LLT at index admission and PMIC respectively. The percentage of patients having LDL-C level measurement prior to PMIC was 79.5% at baseline, 81.8% in cycle 1 and 90.9% in cycle 2. Conclusions Following multimodal interventions, we observed a marked improvement in LLT optimisation in patients with ACS. This improvement was greatest at the PMIC stage, reflecting excellent adherence to ESC guidelines by the Cardiac Nurse Specialists. Barriers to optimised LLT included discontinuation of LLT necessitated by adverse medication-related side effects. Factors such as patient attendance to lipid profile testing prior to PMIC were also difficult to optimise: this has been identified as a future area for improvement. Future application of this QIP may extend to providing teaching to other areas within the trust, with a particular emphasis on departments receiving a high volume of patients such as the Acute Medicine Unit.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/heartjnl-2026-bcs.74","authors":["Neel Kothari","H Tranter","Jordan Lewis","Calvin Lee","Muhammad Saleem Akhtar"],"tags":["Medicine","Acute coronary syndrome","Emergency medicine","Coronary care unit","Quality management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1136/heartjnl-2026-bcs.74","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.017Z"},{"id":"oa:W4416986961","name":"Historical and future projected costs of capital for ten energy technologies across 176 countries","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Accelerating the deployment of clean generation technologies will be key to achieving global climate targets, yet accurately modelling the financial conditions they face is challenging.

However, rising demand for REEs coupled with significant extraction and processing challenges and geopolitical risks restricts access to REE resources. REE processing innovations that reduce hazardous waste generation and improve extraction efficiency are needed. Plants, and some microorganisms, can harness REE properties to enhance their metabolic processes and physiological functions. Exploration and understanding of the mechanisms plants and microbes use to manage REEs can inspire improved processes for extraction and refining towards meeting growing demand for these essential elements while minimizing negative environmental impacts. Summary Creating a sustainable future involves transitioning to green‐ and clean‐energy technologies, which require materials like rare earth elements (REEs). There are REEs that have catalytic, electrical, magnetic, and phosphorescent properties that are unique. REE properties enhance functional capability in technologies such as electronics, electric vehicles, direct drive generators in wind turbines, and optical and medical imaging devices. As REE demand rises, improving REE extraction processes and building capacity for recycling and recovery of REEs from waste is becoming increasingly important to ensure we have sustainable and sufficient REE supply for manufacturing the technologies of the future. Understanding how REEs interact with biological processes is important for ensuring responsible management of REEs in our environment. This paper explores why some living organisms like plants and microbes bioaccumulate REEs. Our current understanding of the interaction of REEs in biology and gaps in knowledge of whether REEs enhance functional capabilities in living organisms are discussed. Greater understanding of how and why some living organisms can tolerate and potentially benefit from REE properties could inspire novel strategies and technologies for securing a sustainable REE supply.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ppp3.70010","authors":["Samantha McGaughey","Shagufta Iqbal","Annamaria De Rosa","Jessica A.

Os Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS) têm papel essencial na disseminação de informação e no acompanhamento da população. Objetivo: Descrever a experiência de educação permanente com ACS da Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) Alegre, em Bragança-PA, realizada por estudantes de Enfermagem da Universidade do Estado do Pará (UEPA), fundamentada nos princípios da Educação Popular em Saúde (EPS), valorizando os saberes dos ACS. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um relato de experiência de caráter descritivo, que se utilizou o método da teia do conhecimento desenvolvido por Freire (2021). A experiência foi aplicada em 20 de janeiro de 2025, com seis ACS. A dinâmica considerou três etapas: (1) definição do tema gerador “Os cuidados quanto a prevenção do câncer do colo do útero”; (2) discussão coletiva a partir das palavras geradoras; (3) construção da teia interligando as palavras e desenvolvendo os conceitos a partir do diálogo entre os ACS e os estudantes de enfermagem. Resultados: Os principais resultados indicaram que os ACS associaram a realização do exame Papanicolau como o único método de prevenção do CCU, evidenciando o desconhecimento sobre outras estratégias preventivas, como a vacinação contra o Papilomavírus Humano (HPV), o uso de preservativos e as ações de Educação em saúde. Além disso, durante as discussões entre os estudantes e os ACS, percebeu-se que esses profissionais não se observam como protagonistas na prevenção do CCU dentro da Rede de Atenção Primária à Saúde, além de apresentarem dificuldades na compreensão do funcionamento da Rede de Atenção à Saúde e na integração dos serviços. Conclusão: Diante dos resultados, evidencia-se a necessidade de fortalecer a Educação Popular em Saúde para qualificar a atuação dos ACS na Atenção Primária. Conforme Freire (2021), a educação deve ser dialógica e emancipatória, valorizando o conhecimento popular dos ACS e ampliando sua compreensão sobre prevenção do CCU e da Rede de Atenção à Saúde.

It incorporates motivational interviewing (MI) and leverages an adapted version of the Classroom Check-Up coaching model. The current study extends prior RCT pre-post findings in 41 middle schools (n = 332 teachers), by examining: 1) sustained impacts after one year of active coaching into a follow-up year with no coaching, 2) if higher coaching implementation (e.g., dosage, quality, coach-teacher alliance) among the teachers in the intervention condition translated to greater outcome gains, and 3) the cost to implement Double Check. Although the intent-to-treat analyses indicated no sustained effects of the original trial through the follow-up year, we observed some effect modification on growth in key teacher outcomes. Coaches’ use of MI-consistent language was positively related to gains in culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy and multicultural efficacy and negatively related to changes in teacher stress at post-test and follow-up.

However, coach-reported barriers to coaching were inversely related to changes (i.e. reductions) in teachers’ efficacy from pretest to post-test.

We apply the learning curve methodology to assess cost reductions across different electrolyser technologies and project sizes. Our findings indicate a significant learning effect for PEM and AEL electrolysers in the last 20 years, with learning rates of 32.1% and 22.9%, respectively. While AEL cost reductions are primarily driven by scaling effects, PEM electrolysers benefit from both technological advancements and economies of scale. Small-scale electrolysers exhibit a stronger learning effect (25%), whereas large-scale projects show no clear cost reductions due to their early stage of deployment. Projections based on our learning rates suggest that reaching Europe’s 2030 target of 40 GW electrolyser capacity would require an estimated total investment of 14 billion EUR.

Industrial symbiosis can bring an effective solution by utilizing waste heat from other industries to meet the greenhouse heat demand.

For this aim, the spatial analysis is integrated into an optimization model, in which geographical, technical, and economic parameters are considered simultaneously to identify the optimal location for developing new agricultural greenhouses. The objective function is to minimize the heating costs, that is, the investment cost of piping and electricity cost for pumping heat-carrying fluid from supplier to demand. The model is applied to the case study of Switzerland, and currently existing municipal solid waste incinerators, cement production plants, and biogas plants are considered potential waste heat sources. Results show that the import of tomato, cucumber, and lettuce to Switzerland can theoretically be replaced by vegetable production in new waste-heat supplied greenhouses (zero import scenarios). Accounting for the economy of scale for pipeline investment costs leads to selecting large-scale greenhouses with a cost reduction of 37%.

A four-stage design was applied, combining qualitative case studies, policy–technology mapping, theoretical interpretation, and comparative analysis, to trace how national strategies shape eco-friendly transitions. Japan employs an innovation-led, institution-convergent model in which technological demonstrations drive institutional adaptation and diffusion, China follows a policy-designated, execution-oriented model where state-led interventions accelerate commercialization, and Korea adopts a coordination-based, cyclical model balancing public demonstrations, financial support, and international standardization to reduce transition costs. These findings demonstrate that sequencing between policy–technology linkage is context-dependent, shaped by technological maturity, economic feasibility and infrastructure, institutional predictability, and socio-environmental acceptance. The study contributes a cyclic co-evolutionary perspective that moves beyond technological or institutional determinism, reconceptualizes regulation as enabling infra-structure, and identifies implications for global standard-setting and industrial competitiveness.

In this chapter, the properties of CNTs and their applications especially for flexible TCEs are presented, including the preparation details of CNTs based on solution processes, the surface modification of flexible substrates, and the various types of hybrid TCEs based on CNTs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.72002","authors":["Bu-Jong Kim","Jin-Seok Park"],"tags":["Materials science","Carbon nanotube","Nanotechnology","Indium tin oxide","Graphene"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-04-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.72002","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z"},{"id":"oa:W7130407653","name":"The unprecedented transformation in energy: The Third Energy Revolution toward carbon neutrality","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11708-026-1056-2","authors":["Zhen Huang"],"tags":["Economics","Energy (signal processing)","Neutrality","Carbon fibers","Transformation (genetics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11708-026-1056-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400098657","name":"Can Asia's climate leader please step forward?","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Asia's contribution will be decisive for the global effort to mitigate climate change.

Second, the top countries identified by the index are assessed in greater detail qualitatively. The analysis finds that China, Japan, and Singapore are the most plausible candidates to take the lead. By doing so, these countries could potentially inspire their neighbors to step up their own efforts as climate change becomes an increasingly important issue in international affairs.

Die vorliegende Studie setzt sich mit der Frage von Fridays for Future Deutschland auseinander, welche Dimension von Veränderungen im deutschen Energiesystem erforderlich wären, um einen angemessenen Beitrag für das Erreichen der 1,5-Grad-Grenze leisten zu können. Nach Abschätzung des Weltklimarates, dem Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), lassen sich mit dieser Temperaturgrenze die Risiken und Auswirkungen des Klimawandels gegenüber einer stärkeren Erderwärmung erheblich verringern. Die Autorinnen und Autoren haben dabei den Budgetansatz des Sachverständigenrats für Umweltfragen (SRU) der Bundesregierung zugrunde gelegt. Um das 1,5-Grad-Ziel mit einer Wahrscheinlichkeit von 50 Prozent zu erreichen, ist das Restbudget an damit verträglichen Treibhausgasemissionen eng begrenzt. Für Deutschland bleibt gemäß des Sachverständigenrats für Umweltfragen ab dem Jahr 2020 noch ein Restbudget von 4,2 Gigatonnen CO2. Dabei geht der Sachverständigenrat von der Annahme aus, dass auf globaler Ebene jedem Menschen für die Zukunft ein gleiches Pro-Kopf-Emissionsrecht zugestanden werden soll. Mit dieser Klimaschutzvorgabe geht er deutlich weiter als die aktuellen politischen Vorgaben der Europäischen Union und der Bundesregierung, die diese für sich aus den Pariser Klimaschutzvereinbarungen ableiten. Die vom SRU formulierte Zielmarke lässt sich einhalten, wenn das Energiesystem (Energiewirtschaft, Industrie, Verkehr und Gebäudewärme) bis zum Jahr 2035 CO2-neutral aufgestellt wird und die Emissionen insbesondere in den nächsten Jahren bereits überproportional stark gesenkt werden können. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die technische und in gewissem Maße auch die ökonomische Machbarkeit einer Transformation zur CO2-Neutralität bis 2035. Ob sich dieses Ziel jedoch tatsächlich realisieren lässt, hängt auch maßgeblich von der gesellschaftlichen Bereitschaft und einem massiven politischen Fokus auf die notwendige Transformation ab. Die Studie gibt somit Aufschluss darüber, inwiefern es grundlegende technologische und wirtschaftliche Hindernisse für die CO2-Neutralität 2035 gibt; nicht jedoch ob die Umsetzung realpolitisch tatsächlich gelingen kann bzw. was dafür im Einzelnen getan werden muss. Neben den technischen und ökonomischen Herausforderungen einer Transformation hin zu CO2-Neutralität bestehen zentrale Herausforderungen auch in institutioneller und kultureller Hinsicht, zum Beispiel bei Themen wie der Akzeptanz für einen starken Ausbau von Erneuerbaren-Energien-Anlagen und von Energieinfrastrukturen oder hinsichtlich der Notwendigkeit eines deutlich veränderten Verkehrsverhaltens.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48506/opus-7606","authors":["Georg Kobiela","Sascha Samadi","Jenny Kurwan","Annika Tönjes","Manfred Fischedick","Thorsten Koska","Stefan Lechtenböhmer","Steven März","Dietmar Schüwer"],"tags":["Political science","Humanities","Gynecology","Philosophy","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.48506/opus-7606","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z"},{"id":"oa:W4413217697","name":"Effects of Rapid Thermal Exposure from Igneous Intrusions on the Pore Structure, Thermal Maturity, and Nanomechanical Properties of Coal and Shale","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Rising energy demands and concerns about global warming have made coal and shale increasingly important not only as unconventional energy sources but also as potential storage sites for CO 2 sequestration. However, selecting these formations for either energy extraction or carbon storage requires comprehensive geological and petrophysical assessments. This is particularly important because, in some cases, localized thermal metamorphism from igneous intrusions can significantly alter their organic and structural properties, beyond natural thermal gradients, potentially making them unsuitable. Despite this, studies investigating the effects of igneous intrusions on the pore structure, geochemical attributes, and mechanical behavior at the micro- and nanoscale remain limited, especially in the Indian geological context. To address this gap, the present study offers the first integrated comparison of thermally altered and unaltered Indian coals and shales from the Raniganj Basin, with a focus on evaluating their suitability for CO 2 sequestration. A range of analytical techniques was applied, including Rock–Eval pyrolysis, petrography, X-ray diffraction (XRD), N 2 and CO 2 low-pressure gas adsorption, and nanoindentation, to assess the influence of igneous intrusion on the chemical, mineralogical, pore structural, and nanomechanical characteristics of both shale and coal. The results indicate a reduction in the hydrogen index, increased thermal maturity, higher quartz content, finer pore structures, elevated pore volumes and adsorption capacities, and significantly greater Young’s moduli in the heat-altered samples compared to unaltered ones. The increased stiffness observed in the thermally altered samples is attributed to the elevated thermal maturity of organic matter, marked by a higher proportion of aromatic carbon. This transformation, driven by aliphatic chain cracking and hydrocarbon expulsion, leads to the formation of devolatilization vacuoles and the development of finer micropores. Additionally, mineral transformations documented by XRD analysis, particularly the reduction of kaolinite and the enrichment of quartz, contribute to the enhanced mechanical stiffness. These changes result from abrupt, short-duration thermal exposure at high temperatures associated with igneous activity, which contrasts with gradual burial-related maturation processes. Overall, the findings provide new insights into the transformative effects of igneous intrusions on coal and shale properties, extending beyond conventional burial histories. They highlight the implications for hydrocarbon recovery, CO 2 sequestration potential, and geomechanical stability in thermally altered basins and support the need for further targeted studies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5c02068","authors":["M.

Here, we study basic capture mechanisms using a novel approach grounded in comparative enzymology. We determined initial, steady-state capture rates in potassium carbonate under a range of conditions and observed a characteristic saturation behavior at high concentrations of either enzyme or CO2. These results could be rationalized by a modified Michaelis–Menten framework applied to a “reaction zone” near the liquid surface. Capture rates corresponded directly to enzyme reaction rates in the reaction zone as determined by KM and kcat, and this explained the observed saturation behavior. The kinetic data suggested a depth of the reaction zone of about 20 µm. This meant that equilibrium between CO2 and HCO3− was obtained within this shallow film and that enzymes deeper in the liquid had little or no influence on capture rates. This approach also allowed us to rationalize the effect of pH on enzyme-assisted capture rates. Overall, steady-state kinetics can be used in comparative and mechanistic analyses of enzyme-accelerated carbon capture. The approach is theoretically simple, requires limited experimental input, and offers key molecular insights.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/catal16040294","authors":["Marta Iglesia Escarpizo-Lorenzana","Silke Flindt Badino","Ulrik Brix Madsen","Stefanie Neun","Peter Westh"],"tags":["Chemistry","Carbonic anhydrase","Kinetic energy","Carbonate","Potassium carbonate"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/catal16040294","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405757743","name":"Synergistic Development Pathways: An Exploratory Study on the Urban–Rural Mutual Assistance Model and Low-Carbon Transformation of Henan’s Power Supply Industry Towards Dual-Carbon Goals","source":"openalex","abstract":"In the midst of the push for dual-carbon goals, urban centers are faced with the imperative of reducing emissions and conserving energy, while rural regions are harnessing their abundant new energy resources to promote balanced urban–rural development.

While carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture and utilization (CCU) are essential deep decarbonization technologies, existing research has not adequately addressed the regional and temporal variations needed for optimal pathway selection across China's diverse provinces. This study develops a comprehensive whole-systems optimization model to design provincial-scale decarbonization pathways for China's cement industry from 2025 to 2060. The model reveals significant spatial and temporal heterogeneity in optimal technology combinations. Before 2050, traditional cement processes integrated with CCS (TCP-CCS) represent the dominant bridging technology for low-carbon transition. However, reaching carbon neutrality by 2060 necessitates an eventual shift toward widespread deployment of novel chemical processes combined with green hydrogen (NCP-H2) as the ultimate decarbonization pathway. Notably, regional natural gas prices significantly affect technology feasibility and deployment timing. The optimized transition pathway reduces unit clinker costs by approximately 58% compared to 2025 levels while successfully meeting the 2060 carbon neutrality target. This research framework provides quantitative decision support for policymakers to design cost-effective, province-specific decarbonization strategies that align with local resource endowments and economic conditions, ultimately advancing deep decarbonization across China's industrial sector.","url":"https://doi.org/10.69997/sct.173685","authors":["Yushu Wang","Wenli Du","Minglei Yang","Vassilis M.

Eisenhower je leta 1953 z geslom »Atomi za mir« predstavil mirnodobno rabo jedrske energije.Nekaj let kasneje je bila ustanovljena Mednarodna agencija za jedrsko energijo (IAEA), z dvema glavnima ciljema, spodbujanje miroljubne rabe jedrske energije in preprečevanje širjenja jedrskega orožja.V mnogih državah številni jedrski znanstveniki upali, da bo jedrsko cepitev mogoče izkoristiti kot čist vir energije, ki bo tako obilna in poceni, da bo omogočila blaginjo človeštva.Uresničitev teh sanj pa je bila odvisna od reaktorjev za razmnoževanje plutonija, ki bi lahko v celoti izkoristili cepitveno energijo, skrito v uranu.Pa vendar, napovedi jedrskih fizikov se niso uresničile.Predelave jedrskih odpadkov so drage, nevarne, bremenijo okolje in predstavljajo varnostno tveganje.Pri jedrski reakciji nastajajo visoko radioaktivni elementi, ki trajno bremenijo okolje, odlaganje teh elementov v globoka podzemna skladišča pa je tako drago, da jih nikjer na svetu še ne odlagajo.Teoretično je sicer možno v posebnih reaktorjih predelati večino visoko radioaktivnih odpadkov, vendar obstajajo prevelike ovire, tega nikoli ne bo.V prispevku želimo utemeljiti trditev, da le odprt jedrski gorivni krog, pri katerem se celotno izrabljeno gorivo odloži neposredno in enkrat za vselej v globoko odlagališče, zagotavlja zadostno jedrsko varnost.To trditev so zapisali avtorji Frank von Hippel , Masafumi Takubo in Jungmin Kang v knjigi »Plutonium -How Nuclear Power's Dream Fuel Became a Nightmare«, prevod knjige v slovenščino pa bo izšel do konca leta.","url":"https://doi.org/10.70314/is.2025.okolje.7","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-11T07:22:42Z","doi":"10.70314/is.2025.okolje.7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47247/cmd/6063.114.4","name":"Anais do CMD 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47247/cmd/6063.114.4","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-21T23:11:00Z","doi":"10.47247/cmd/6063.114.4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47247/cmd/6063.113.7","name":"Anais do CMD 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47247/cmd/6063.113.7","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-21T23:09:04Z","doi":"10.47247/cmd/6063.113.7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784486382","name":"Pipelines 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1061/9780784486382","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-07T10:00:38Z","doi":"10.1061/9780784486382","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1596/43942","name":"GRI Index 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"The 2025 World Bank Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Index is an inventory of the sustainability considerations used in World Bank lending and analytical services as well as its corporate practices.

The main effect is the volatility that threatens food security and fiscal stability in Arab nations, especially those with limited or no wheat subsidies. The authors suggest that the non renewal of the Black Sea agreement could raise global wheat prices by 3-4% on average, though the overall impact is expected to be short-lived due to the market’s resilience.

These data are crucial for the derisking and stimulation of mineral exploration and the generation of mineral and metal supply chains that are vital for national and economic security and increased domestic supply of critical and strategic minerals and metals. The lack of these data for the U.S. in general and the Silver State in particular means that significant areas of Nevada likely remain underexplored despite mining in Nevada for more than 150 years. The return on investment of precompetitive data as a whole and for individual types of precompetitive data has also been demonstrated numerous times in multiple countries such as Australia, Canada, Chile, and various countries in Europe. Increasing amounts of precompetitive data have also started to be generated by programs in the U.S. over the past decade or so, mainly in the form of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Earth Mapping Resource Initiative (Earth MRI). However, it is vital to obtain industry input for future precompetitive data acquisitions in order to ensure that the data being generated are fit-for-purpose and enable increased amounts of successful mineral exploration and discovery. As such, the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology undertook an industry-focused survey to assess the needs of companies undertaking mineral exploration in the state. The precompetitive survey discussed in this report was specifically designed to obtain industry input into the future of precompetitive data acquisitions within Nevada and the wider U.S., and the results of this survey are being made publicly available here. Key focus areas for this survey include: 1) what commodities the respondent targeted 2) the types of mineral systems that are explored 3) a ranking of what geoscientific data is the most useful for exploration including the options of geologic mapping, geochemical data, geophysical data, remote sensing data, lithogeochemical data, geochronological data, isotopic data, mineral geochemistry, legacy sample data, and “other” 4) a description outlining the most useful sub-types within the above categories, and 5) the areas viewed as offering the most advantages for precompetitive data collection including historical mining districts and major mineral belts, covered terrains, areas that are not currently covered by existing datasets, and “other”. As well as being made publicly available, this report will be shared with stakeholders at the state and federal level in order to ensure the voice of industry is heard in terms of what is needed to support mineral exploration and mining success in Nevada and the wider U.S.","url":"https://doi.org/10.66058/qiwf1923","authors":["Simon M.

The overall aim of the framing is to unpack another one of the creative tensions Busara continuously navigates: on the one hand we know that change is multi-dimensional and happens through sustained engagement. We know that in the kind of work we do, we need the time to learn what the right change even should look like, particularly when it comes to changing norms. And if we are honest, we also know that change often comes in surprising ways. On the other hand, we have the ambition to have–and amplify–impact. We are also often asked (or feel obliged) to declare the impact that we have had in stark and usually numerical ways: so many lives improved, so many programmes influenced. And of course, when we are asked for impact measures–for a proposal, for a talk–we provide them. But they are never really convincing: are the numbers correct? Do they capture how people have experienced our work? Do they represent change that is actually beneficial? What do the numbers miss? In 2025, one of the areas in which we want to clarify our thinking is impact measurement. In the spirit of honesty and transparency that we see at the heart of our work, we are seeking to find ways to articulate what more comprehensive, holistic–and yes, I’m saying it–human ways to understand impact of knowledge work in global development could look like. Tafakari 2025 is the beginning of that journey. We think this is crucial not only for Busara as an organization, but as a response to demands for greater accountability and shifting interests in how the development sector thinks of itself and works.","url":"https://doi.org/10.62372/mpim4528","authors":["Busara Busara"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-06T06:35:52Z","doi":"10.62372/mpim4528","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z"},{"id":"doi:10.63508/2025digtedu1","name":"О векторных функциях","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.63508/2025digtedu1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-02T17:46:57Z","doi":"10.63508/2025digtedu1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784486085","name":"Structures Congress 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1061/9780784486085","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-07T06:23:57Z","doi":"10.1061/9780784486085","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z"},{"id":"doi:10.30923/230250048","name":"Brecha digital de género 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"En esta edición del informe anual Brecha digital de género 2025 se analizan las diferencias entre hombres y mujeres desde distintos puntos de vista para encontrar diferencias sustanciales en el uso que se hace de Internet y todo el entorno digital.

rich and structurally aware embeddings of earnings calls, by encoding them as hierarchical discourse trees.Each node, comprising either a monologue or a question-answer pair, is enriched with emotional signals derived from text, audio, and video, as well as structured metadata including coherence scores, topic labels, and answer coverage assessments.A two-stage transformer architecture is proposed: the first encodes multimodal content and discourse metadata at the node level using contrastive learning, while the second synthesizes a global embedding for the entire conference.Experimental results reveal that the resulting embeddings form stable, semantically meaningful representations that reflect affective tone, structural logic, and thematic alignment.Beyond financial reporting, the proposed system generalizes to other high-stakes unscripted communicative domains such as telemedicine, education, and political discourse, offering a robust and explainable approach to multimodal discourse representation.This approach offers practical utility for downstream tasks such as financial forecasting and discourse evaluation, while also providing a generalizable method applicable to other domains involving high-stakes communication.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5121/csit.2025.1516","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-28T12:20:21Z","doi":"10.5121/csit.2025.1516","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2172/2564615","name":"LANL

In 2026, commodity prices are projected to reach a six-year low. Oil prices are expected to exert substantial downward pressure on the aggregate commodity index in 2025, as a marked slowdown in global oil consumption coincides with expanding supply. The anticipated commodity price softening is broad-based, however, with more than half of the commodities in the forecast set to decrease this year, many by more than 10 percent. The latest shocks to hit commodity markets extend a so far tumultuous decade, marked by the highest level of commodity price volatility in at least half a century. Between 2020 and 2024, commodity price swings were frequent and sharp, with knock-on consequences for economic activity and inflation. In the next two years, commodity prices are expected to put downward pressure on global inflation. Risks to the commodity price projections are tilted to the downside. A sharper-than-expected slowdown in global growth—driven by worsening trade relations or a prolonged tightening of financial conditions—could further depress commodity demand, especially for industrial products. In addition, if OPEC+ fully unwinds its voluntary supply cuts, oil production will far exceed projected consumption. There are also important upside risks to commodity prices—for instance, if geopolitical tensions worsen, threatening oil and gas supplies, or if extreme weather events lead to agricultural and energy price spikes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/43036","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-30T00:25:43Z","doi":"10.1596/43036","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70314/is.2025.cogni.3","name":"Coherentist Echo Chambers","source":"crossref","abstract":"This paper investigates the transformation of epistemic bubbles into echo chambers through rational belief-forming processes.Building on Nguyen's distinction between epistemic bubbles-formed by omission-and echo chambers-formed by active distrust, we explore whether echo chambers can emerge without malicious intent.Using a simulation model, we demonstrate that coherence-based reasoning can trap agents in echo chambers, even when they act rationally.This finding challenges the view that echo chambers require intentional manipulation of epistemic trust and suggests that rational cognitive strategies may inadvertently contribute to harmful social epistemic dynamics.","url":"https://doi.org/10.70314/is.2025.cogni.3","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-08T07:53:51Z","doi":"10.70314/is.2025.cogni.3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1596/43497","name":"Vietnam Macro Monitoring, May 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/43497","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-26T02:12:00Z","doi":"10.1596/43497","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acsomega.5c07313","name":"Mechanism Study of Enhanced Oil Recovery by CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; Huff-n-Puff in Ultralow-Permeability Reservoirs Based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Ultralow-permeability reservoirs, characterized by low porosity and permeability, narrow pore throats, and strong capillary forces, pose much greater development challenges compared to conventional reservoirs and urgently require efficient enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies. In recent years, CCUS technologies have brought new opportunities for the development of ultralow-permeability reservoirs. Among them, CO 2 , owing to its swelling and expansion effects, viscosity reduction, and interfacial tension lowering properties, is considered a highly promising displacing agent. In this study, displacement performance of four mediawater, surfactant solution, N 2 , and CO 2 was systematically investigated through variable differential pressure core flooding experiments, microfluidic displacement tests, and simultaneous huff-n-puff physical simulations. The results show that oil displacement efficiency increases with higher displacement pressures for all media. Notably, CO 2 exhibits relatively high mobilization efficiency even at low pressures and achieves higher ultimate oil recovery (70-80%), which is higher than N 2 flooding (65-70%) and significantly higher than water flooding or surfactant flooding (60-65%). Microfluidic experiments indicate that CO 2 significantly reduces residual oil saturation and demonstrates superior displacement uniformity and pore-scale sweep efficiency compared to water and N 2 flooding. Simultaneous CO 2 huff-n-puff experiments reveal that, with increasing huff-n-puff cycles, both the swept volume and mobilization depth expand markedly; the mobilization depth increased from 12 cm (cycle 1) to 16 cm (cycle 3). NMR T 2 spectra show a decrease in long relaxation time components, indicating effective mobilization of residual oil within the pores. These results indicate that CO 2 has excellent oil displacement potential in laboratory-scale tests, suggesting promising application prospects in ultralow-permeability reservoirs, provided that field-scale conditions and capillary constraints are carefully considered. The findings provide significant experimental evidence and theoretical support for optimizing displacing media selection and huff-n-puff operational strategies in ultralow permeability reservoirs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c07313","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1021/acsomega.5c07313","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fcvm.2025.1668820","name":"Editorial: Critical care cardiology for cardiovascular emergencies.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"for over two decades.

The aim of this study is to systematically assess the carbon footprint of the RO water treatment process during its full life cycle and to explore the carbon reduction potential of the RO water treatment process under different decarbonization scenarios. To analyze RO's carbon footprint in different applications, this study constructed a life cycle model of the RO water treatment process under the business model, calculating footprints for seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO), brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO), and reclaimed water reuse. Results showed carbon footprints of 3.258, 2.868, and 3.083 kg CO₂-eq/m³ for the three applications, with operational power as the main carbon source, followed by chemical use, membrane production, and disposal. The carbon footprint of the three applications can be reduced by up to 93.23%, 87.81%, and 51.12% by predicting the grid structure, waste recycling and disposal methods, and energy consumption after process operation optimization. Sensitivity analyses of key process variables showed that the carbon footprint was more sensitive to influent temperature, system energy recovery, and influent salinity than membrane product life. Thus, the study recommends a comprehensive strategy involving renewable energy, energy efficiency improvements, and operational optimization to lower RO's carbon footprint and support carbon neutrality.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-24518-2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-24518-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.langmuir.5c01353","name":"Mechanistic Insights into CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; Slug Displacement Assisted by N&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and CH&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; in Wedge-Shaped Pores.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The supply demand imbalance of energy facilitates the development of unconventional oil and gas, particularly shale reserves. Herein, the mechanism of N 2 - and CH 4 -assisted CO 2 slug flooding in wedge-shaped pores is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that in the process of N 2 -assisted CO 2 flooding, CO 2 can form a sufficient mutual solubility effect with the oil phase in the pore II (pore size 3 ∼ 8 nm) when CO 2 is preflooded, and the postinjected N 2 has a strong driving ability, so the mutual solubility of the CO 2 /oil phase can be better displaced. For N 2 preflooding, the gas channel is preferentially formed in the pore II, and the vortex-like movement is formed at the entrance of the pore I (pore size 8 ∼ 3 nm). In the process of CH 4 -assisted CO 2 flooding, the preflooding of CO 2 has a better displacement effect. However, in the preflooding of CH 4 , the phenomenon of gas channeling easily occurs, which leads to the decrease in the displacement effect in the pore I. In addition, the siphon phenomenon can be observed for all flooding. CO 2 flooding and its slug flooding would produce the phenomenon of CO 2 migration between pores. Overall, N 2 and CH 4 assistance in CO 2 flooding improves oil displacement and recovery efficiency in reservoir pores, offering a superior method for enhanced oil recovery in nanopore structures. The slug displacement method demonstrates a greater efficiency than the single gas methods, highlighting its potential for improving oil recovery in intricate nanopore structures.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.5c01353","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1021/acs.langmuir.5c01353","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/cancers17152469","name":"Advances and Challenges in the Management of Myelodysplastic Syndromes.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS) represent a biologically and clinically diverse group of myeloid malignancies marked by cytopenias, morphological dysplasia, and an inherent risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

In 2025, the treatment of MDS is increasingly individualized, guided by integrated clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular risk stratification tools. For lower-risk MDS, the treatment paradigm has evolved beyond erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) with the introduction of novel effective agents such as luspatercept and imetelstat, as well as shortened schedules of hypomethylating agents (HMAs).

Among them, two-dimensional (2D) perovskites are more stable under photocatalytic conditions and have exciting excitonic characteristics compared to three-dimensional (3D) perovskites. 2D perovskites have unique physical and chemical properties, such as high stability, polaron formation, quantum well structures, and high exciton binding energies, which remain underexplored for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction (pCO 2 RR).

Participants were selected through stakeholder analysis to ensure cross-sectoral representation. A structured process guided the co-creation of integrated system maps, beginning with disease-specific models and culminating in validated shared maps. A total of 162 stakeholders participated across the workshops, most of whom were affiliated with government institutions (83%), with smaller proportions from civil society, academia, and technical assistance organizations. The Agriculture and Animal Health sector represented 36% of participants, followed by Human Health (31%) and Environmental Health (13%). Most participants had over 10 years of experience. Analysis of the CLDs revealed that while the number of infected individuals remained the central driver triggering feedback responses, the mechanisms of influence differed by governance level. National and provincial systems were shaped by public investment in One Health systems, political commitment, and governance capacity, whereas community-level dynamics were dominated by socio-economic conditions, hunting practices, and local sensitization.

However, probing these nanoscale phenomena is challenging for both experiments and conventional molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which struggle to sample the rare ion transport events due to high computational cost. Consequently, the free energy barrier, which governs an ion's lateral entry into the film from the adjacent water-saturated region on the mineral surface, remained unevaluated. To address this, we employed microsecond MD and advanced free energy calculation methods (LogMFD/LogPD) to investigate ion energetics on silica and mica surfaces. Our results reveal a profound difference: a discernible free energy barrier of ∼3 kJ/mol for Cl- transport into the film on α-quartz, whereas the barrier is negligible on the muscovite mica. This difference is attributed to the local ionic environment; mica's dense Na+ counterion layer stabilizes incoming Cl-, while its absence on α-quartz creates an unstable state. This mechanism was further confirmed in infinitely dilute systems, where the transport barrier on both mineral surfaces is strongly modulated by the presence and location of the counterion. These findings provide molecular-level insights into ion distributions and diffusivities in heterogeneous geological formations and highlight the utility of advanced sampling to resolve the complex energy landscapes governing nanoscale transport.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0293521","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1063/5.0293521","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1111/bjh.70086","name":"Genomic variation in DDX41 identified through clinical sequencing.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"To the Editor, Germline pathogenic variants in the DEAD-box helicase 41 (DDX41) gene are the most common inherited cause of predisposition to myeloid neoplasms (MNs) in adults, accounting for approximately 80% of cases where a germline predisposition is identified.1,2 Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) are the most well-established MNs associated with pathogenic germline DDX41 variants, demonstrating incomplete penetrance with a median age of disease onset of approximately 65 years.[2][3][4] The identification of patients with pathogenic germline DDX41 variants is of critical clinical relevance, with potential impacts on disease prognosis, predictive testing for family members, appropriate donor selection for allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and appropriate surveillance for at-risk individuals and those in remission.1,5","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/bjh.70086","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1111/bjh.70086","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s11356-025-35984-6","name":"Anticorrosion properties of ionic liquid functionalized graphene oxide epoxy composite coating on the carbon steel for CCUS environment.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The adoption of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is increasingly prevalent, driven by the global initiative to conserve energy and reduce emissions.

Previous studies have mostly analyzed CCUS technology from the perspective of direct economic benefits, concluding that its economic prospects are not optimistic and it is challenging to achieve technological diffusion. These studies overlooked the indirect economic benefits of this technology. Therefore, this paper takes Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Oil Recovery (CO 2 -EOR) as an example, adopting the input-output method to combine both its direct and indirect economic benefits and conduct research from the perspective of comprehensive economic benefits. The results indicate that the comprehensive economic gains reach a significant figure of 1048.24 million USD, which is approximately 15 times the operational cost investment. Based on these findings, policy recommendations are proposed to promote the diffusion of CO 2 -EOR technology. Firstly, the capture and transportation stages should be the focus of reducing the cost of CCS technology. Secondly, considering the significant industrial linkage of the CO 2 -EOR industry, cooperation between industries can be explored. Government departments can take the lead in promoting one-on-one full-industry chain cooperation between power plants and oilfields. Thirdly, given that the comprehensive economic benefits of the CO 2 -EOR sector significantly exceed its cost inputs, the government can increase subsidies for CO 2 -EOR technology to facilitate its promotion.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2025.124749","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1016/j.jenvman.2025.124749","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dib.2025.112125","name":"Data from high-temperature and high-pressure carbon dioxide sequestration experiments limited to 24 hours, performed on Platinum Group Metals mine tailings from the South African Bushveld Igneous Complex.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Mine tailings derived from mafic-ultramafic rock formations may offer promising potential for mineral carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) sequestration.

The research investigated the dissolution, diffusion, and synergistic effects of CO₂ in the anti-swelling system/crude oil within the context of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage-Enhanced Oil Recovery (CCUS-EOR). Using the pressure decay method, core flooding experiments, microscopic visualization of oil displacement, and an improved mathematical model. We systematically investigated the influence of clay minerals on the balance between CO₂ storage and enhanced oil recovery (EOR). It was found that the diffusion coefficient of supercritical CO₂ increased rapidly and then levelled off with increasing pressure, which indicated that clay minerals hindered CO₂ diffusion. The anti-swelling system increases the effective pore connectivity by suppressing clay swelling, which increases the diffusion coefficient by 20-28%. The enhanced mathematical model combines the oil-water phase partition coefficients with the PR-EOS equation of state to accurately describe the multiphase interactions. The calculation results fit the experimental data by 92%, which is better than the traditional single-phase model. Through microscopic oil displacement experiments, core flooding tests, and quantitative analysis of full-cycle CO₂ saturation evolution.

Although GCA has not yet been detected in the ISM, the presence of structurally related compounds in various astronomical environments suggests that it may form under interstellar conditions. In this study, we employed the automated reaction discovery tool AutoMeKin to systematically explore the gas-phase chemical reaction networks (CRNs) of C 3 H 6 O 3 (GCA), C 3 H 7 O 3 (a hydrogenated analog), and C 2 H 5 O 2 . Reaction pathways were characterized at the ωB97XD/Def2-TZVPP level of theory, and rate coefficients for key processes were computed using the competitive canonical unified statistical (CCUS) model, which accounts for multiple dynamic bottlenecks. Our analysis revealed several barrierless pathways leading to GCA or to GCA and a leaving group. Notably, the reaction between glyoxal (HCOHCO) and the HOCHCH 2 OH radical, though neither has yet been detected in the ISM, was found to efficiently produce GCA and a formyl radical, with rate coefficients on the order of 5.4-7.9 × 10 -10 cm 3 molecule -1 s -1 across the 10-100 K temperature range. However, aside from the aforementioned exception, most GCA formation channels result in highly vibrationally excited intermediates that are more likely to undergo rapid unimolecular decomposition than to be stabilized by radiative emission under typical ISM conditions.

This review delves into the derangements of innate immune and inflammatory pathways implicated in the development of AML and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), shedding light on the therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2025.1660709","authors":["Satyaki Bhowmik","Anwesha Bose","Amitava Sengupta"],"tags":["Innate immune system","Haematopoiesis","Myeloid","Biology","Immunology"],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.3389/fimmu.2025.1660709","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/09593330.2024.2376291","name":"An investment decision framework for offshore CCUS project under interval-valued fermatean fuzzy environment.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is an indispensable technology for achieving a net-zero emission society. The offshore CCUS project is still in its infancy. To promote its sustainable development, developing a comprehensive framework for investment decision-making is very crucial. First, a comprehensive evaluation criteria system is established. Second, in order to characterize the ambiguity and uncertainty of information in the process of making decisions, the interval-valued fermatean fuzzy set (IVFFS) is introduced, and the extended variance method of IVFFS is proposed to systematically calculate the weights of experts. Then, the power weighted average (PWA) operator based similarity measure of IVFFSs is developed to aggregate different expert information. Meanwhile, the fuzzy-weighted zero-inconsistency (FWZIC) method and the method based on the removal effects of criteria (MEREC) are used to determine the criteria weights. In addition, considering the interactions between the criteria, we introduce the Hamacher operator into the measurement of alternatives and ranking according to the compromise solution (MARCOS) method to select the optimal alternative in the interval-valued fermatean fuzzy (IVFF) environment. The suggested framework is then used to analyse a case study. After that, sensitivity and comparative analyses are conducted to confirm its robustness and viability. This study creates a practical investment framework for offshore CCUS projects, identifies a number of investment-sensitive criteria and provides management insights. The proposed framework expands the methods and applications in the field of decision-making and provides a scientific approach for investment decision-making in offshore CCUS projects, which can be a useful reference for managers.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09593330.2024.2376291","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1080/09593330.2024.2376291","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.489Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ijms26157382","name":"Integrating Molecular Alterations with Immunophenotype and Clinical Characteristics in Myelodysplastic Syndromes: A Single-Center Study.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Continuous development of molecular and immunophenotypic techniques enables more precise diagnoses and more accurate assessment of prognosis in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

All GPC were resistant to methicillin and erythromycin while 1 (5%) strain was resistant to vancomycin, teicoplanin, and linezolid. Among gram-negative bacilli (GNB), the most common isolate was Acinetobacter species [8/23 (34.78%)], followed by P . species [5 (21.74%)]. About 19-23 (85-100%) GNB strains were resistant to third-generation cephalosporins and beta-lactam and beta-lactamase inhibitors. About 9-15 (42.3-67.64%) were resistant to tigecycline and carbapenems. Decreased bloodstream infections/catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) rate of 3.49-2.92/3.97-1.95/1,000 patient-days was observed in CCU, while the device utilization ratio was same.

However, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies can drive multiple sectors of the economy across the net‐zero barrier through negative CO 2 emissions. We argue that the key to scaling up CDR begins with the preponderance of New Zealand's geothermal and biomass resources. New Zealand has a proud and innovative history with geothermal energy, currently producing ∼20% of the country's electricity. Modern advances in geothermal energy have demonstrated that it is peerless amongst renewable energy‐sources in the ability to facilitate onsite CDR by repurposing existing wells. We examine a theoretical bioenergy retrofit at the Ngāwhā geothermal plant to increase capacity by 1 MWe, with as much biogenic CO 2 as permissible dissolved in reinjectate. Forestry residues are the feedstock of choice due to their abundance in the Far North. We show that up to 15.9 ktCO 2 /year can be removed effectively from the atmosphere. Only 6% of the Far North's forestry residues are required to achieve this. Under 2024s emissions trading scheme (ETS), the annual revenue of CDR ($0.79 million) could exceed that of new electricity ($0.47 million).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03036758.2024.2385807","authors":["Karan Titus","David Dempsey","Rebecca Peer","Fabian Hanik"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Geothermal gradient","Electricity generation","Bioenergy","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03036758.2024.2385807","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411138218","name":"RASTREAMENTO DO CÂNCER DE COLO DO ÚTERO","source":"openalex","abstract":"Introdução: O câncer de colo de útero é o terceiro tipo de câncer mais comum entre mulheres no Brasil.

Many chemotherapies impede ribosome production which is perceived by cells as \"nucleolar stress\" (NS), triggering p53-dependent and independent pathways leading to cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis. The 5S ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particle, a sub-ribosomal particle, is instrumental to NS response. Upon ribosome assembly defects, the 5S RNP accumulates as free form. This free form is able to sequester and inhibit MDM2, thus promoting p53 stabilization. To investigate how cancer cells can resist to NS, here we purify free 5S RNP and uncover an interaction partner, SURF2. Functional characterization of SURF2 shows that its depletion increases cellular sensitivity to NS, while its overexpression promotes their resistance to it. Consistently, SURF2 is overexpressed in many cancers and its expression level is an independent marker of prognosis for adrenocortical cancer. Our data demonstrate that SURF2 buffers free 5S RNP particles, and can modulate their activity, paving the way for the research of new molecules that can finely tune the response to nucleolar stress in the framework of cancer therapies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-52659-x","authors":["Sophie Tagnères","Paulo E.

Both of these technologies rely on the use of chemical solvents or sorbents in order to capture CO2. Lately, concerns have surfaced about the cost and energy implications of producing solvents and sorbents at scale. Here, we show that the production of chemical sorbents could have significant implications on system cost, energy use and material use depending on how much they are consumed. Among the three chemical sorbents investigated, namely monoethanolamine (MEA) for post-combustion carbon capture, potassium hydroxide (KOH) for liquid DAC and polyethylenimine-silica (PEI) for solid sorbent DAC, we found that solid sorbent production for DAC represents the highest uncertainties for the system. At the high range of solid sorbent consumption, total energy system cost increased by up to 6.5%, while effects for other options were small to negligible. Scale-up of material production capacities was also substantial for MEA and PEI. While PEI has the advantage of requiring a lower sorbent regeneration temperature than KOH, the potential production cost may outweigh these benefits. There is thus a trade-off between the advantages and the additional cost uncertainty regarding sorbents. Implications of sorbent consumption for carbon capture technologies should be considered more thoroughly in scenarios relying on solid sorbent DAC.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/adbb81","authors":["Vincent Chanal","Samuel Humpage","Markus Millinger"],"tags":["Carbon fibers","Energy (signal processing)","Carbon accounting","Energy demand","Process engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/adbb81","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4399783896","name":"Water-Soluble Type I Radical Photoinitiators Dedicated to Obtaining Microfabricated Hydrogels","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Herein, five previously unknown benzoin ketal-based derivatives are presented as water-soluble, type I photoinitiators of free-radical photopolymerization processes for biomedical applications.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been widely used to evaluate the environmental performance of SCF technologies. This study critically reviews 70 LCA studies of SCF processes across various applications through the four phases of LCA: goal and scope definition, life cycle inventory, life cycle impact assessment, and interpretation to identify methodological gaps and trends in energy use, solvent consumption, and environmental impacts. Despite variability in modelling approaches, process-level trends emerge: for gasification, global warming results range from −0.2 to 5 kg CO 2 eq.kg input −1 ; for extraction from 0.2 to 153 kg CO 2 eq.kg input −1 depending on feed and scale. Contribution analyses highlight that energy is the main hotspot, especially in supercritical water gasification and transesterification, even though yielding higher-quality output and lower solvent consumption. Benchmarking results are mixed: 27 studies reporting lower environmental impacts for SCF processes, while 18 studies report higher impacts, especially in extraction applications. Sensitivity analyses highlight the influence of electricity mix, feed concentration, and solvent recycling on LCA outcomes. This review provides targeted recommendations to enhance consistency and accuracy in future LCA studies. By synthesizing current findings, it supports the development of more sustainable SCF technologies from early stage to support their broader adoption.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eiar.2025.108106","authors":["Insaf Gaalich","Daye Lee","Cyril Aymonier","Guido Sonnemann","Jacob Olchowka","Gilles Philippot","Philippe Loubet"],"tags":["Supercritical fluid","Life-cycle assessment","Environmental science","Environmental planning","Biochemical engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eiar.2025.108106","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W4416921378","name":"Over-night monitoring in intensive care unit and short-term monitoring in post anesthesia care unit costs analysis after elective hepato-pancreatic–biliary surgery: a retrospective study","source":"openalex","abstract":"The post anesthesia care unit (PACU) was introduced to optimize intensive care unit (ICU) bed availability for patients requiring specialized perioperative care, providing comprehensive monitoring during the recovery phase in high-risk surgical patients. However, though several advantages of PACUs have been clearly demonstrated, no previous studies have investigated the overall costs. This retrospective study aimed at comparing the costs of postoperative monitoring in PACU and ICU after elective hepato-pancreatic-biliary (HPB) surgery at our hospital. A retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 2022 and December 2024. The investigations periods were divided according to the institution of PACU at our institution: before (January 1, 2022-May 31, 2023) and after (June 1, 2023-December 31, 2024). Three groups were identified: ICU 1 and 2, including all pt admitted to ICU before and after the institution of PACU, respectively, and PACU, including all pt admitted to PACU. The primary outcome was the cost of monitoring/pt. Secondary outcome was the overall hospital length of stay (LOS). 171 consecutive pt undergoing HPB surgery were included and divided into 49 pt belonging to ICU 1 group, 60 to ICU 2 and 62 to PACU. Multivariable analysis of monitoring cost revealed the following independent predictors: postoperative surveillance in PACU (P < 0.0001), duration of monitoring (P < 0.0001), male gender (P = 0.028) and severity of complications (P = 0.001), the latter resulting the only significant risk factor for prolonged LOS (P < 0.0001). PACU has emerged as a safe and efficient alternative to ICU in the postoperative surveillance of HPB surgical patients, with associated significant cost savings. Further research is required to identify specific criteria addressing the individual needs for postoperative admission to ICU or PACU.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13304-025-02405-9","authors":["Paolo Vincenzi","Federico Mocchegiani","Andrea Benedetti Cacciaguerra","Diletta Gaudenzi","Daniele Nicolini","Paolo Cerchiara","Federica Bartolini","Nadia Moroni","Elisabetta Cerutti","Marco Vivarelli"],"tags":["Medicine","Pacu","Retrospective cohort study","Intensive care unit","Perioperative"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13304-025-02405-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415981780","name":"A critical review on high temperature performance of sustainable cementitious materials","source":"openalex","abstract":"Sustainable concrete materials have gained significant attention due to their potential to reduce CO 2 emissions in the construction industry. However, these materials often exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties compared to traditional concrete, potentially affecting their performance at elevated temperatures. This review critically examines the high-temperature behavior of promising sustainable concrete materials, including supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) blended OPC systems, ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), alkali-activated concrete (AAC), limestone calcined clay cement (LC 3 ), and CO 2 -cured concrete, by analyzing their spalling behavior, mechanical properties, and microstructural changes. SCM-blended systems show varying performance based on material type, with fly ash generally enhancing thermal stability, slag improving strength retention, and silica fume potentially increasing spalling susceptibility. UHPC demonstrates superior mechanical properties but increased spalling risk, which can be mitigated through fiber addition. RAC performance varies depending on recycled aggregate characteristics, with some studies reporting comparable or enhanced high-temperature behavior relative to traditional concrete. AAC generally exhibits good fire resistance, influenced by precursor materials and activator type. LC 3 concrete shows similar strength retention to ordinary Portland cement concrete at moderate temperatures. CO 2 -cured concrete performs well up to 600 °C but experiences rapid degradation at higher temperatures due to calcium carbonate decomposition. This review elucidates the mechanisms influencing sustainable concrete performance at elevated temperatures and identifies critical research directions to enhance their fire resistance for broader adoption in construction applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s44296-025-00081-9","authors":["Zhengyu Zhang","Dian Zhang","Dian Zhang","Jitai Zhou","Dong Zhang","Dong Zhang","Kang Hai Tan"],"tags":["Spall","Cementitious","Silica fume","Materials science","Portland cement"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s44296-025-00081-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401918997","name":"Optimized Porous Carbon Particles from Sucrose and Their Polyethyleneimine Modifications for Enhanced CO2 Capture","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the primary greenhouse gases, plays a key role in global warming and is one of the culprits in the climate change crisis. Therefore, the use of appropriate CO2 capture and storage technologies is of significant importance for the future of planet Earth due to atmospheric, climate, and environmental concerns. A cleaner and more sustainable approach to CO2 capture and storage using porous materials, membranes, and amine-based sorbents could offer excellent possibilities. Here, sucrose-derived porous carbon particles (PCPs) were synthesized as adsorbents for CO2 capture. Next, these PCPs were modified with branched- and linear-polyethyleneimine (B-PEI and L-PEI) as B-PEI-PCP and L-PEI-PCP, respectively. These PCPs and their PEI-modified forms were then used to prepare metal nanoparticles such as Co, Cu, and Ni in situ as M@PCP and M@L/B-PEI-PCP (M: Ni, Co, and Cu). The presence of PEI on the PCP surface enables new amine functional groups, known for high CO2 capture ability. The presence of metal nanoparticles in the structure may be used as a catalyst to convert the captured CO2 into useful products, e.g., fuels or other chemical compounds, at high temperatures. It was found that B-PEI-PCP has a larger surface area and higher CO2 capture capacity with a surface area of 32.84 m2/g and a CO2 capture capacity of 1.05 mmol CO2/g adsorbent compared to L-PEI-PCP. Amongst metal-nanoparticle-embedded PEI-PCPs (M@PEI-PCPs, M: Ni, Co, Cu), Ni@L-PEI-PCP was found to have higher CO2 capture capacity, 0.81 mmol CO2/g adsorbent, and a surface area of 225 m2/g. These data are significant as they will steer future studies for the conversion of captured CO2 into useful fuels/chemicals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/jcs8090338","authors":["Betül Ari","Erk İnger","Aydın K.

However, the implementation of CCS/CCUS in Indonesia still faces significant legal and institutional challenges. This study aims to analyze the normative, institutional, and policy barriers to CCS/CCUS implementation and to formulate an ideal legal framework to support decarbonization projects in the oil and gas sector. The method used is normative legal research with legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The results show that the absence of lex specialis related to CCS/CCUS causes legal uncertainty, especially in the aspects of licensing, post-carbon storage environmental responsibilities, and legal protection for investors. In addition, overlapping authorities between the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force (SKK Migas) weaken the effectiveness of supervision. Therefore, the establishment of specific regulations and integrated institutions is needed to govern the implementation of CCS/CCUS, including establishing a liability regime and economic incentive mechanisms.

The results demonstrated that the cell density of the LE-ZW was 1.33 times that of the wild type and its carbon sequestration efficiency was 6.67 times that of the wild type when cultured at an optimal CO2 concentration of 5% until day 10.

Physiological indices such as the amount of oxygen evolution, the values of Fv/Fm, the expression levels of photosynthetic protein genes and the enzyme activity of key enzymes related to photosynthetic carbon assimilation were corroborated by transcriptome data, elucidating that the mutant LE-ZW exhibited augmented photosynthetic carbon sequestration capacity and metabolic activity, thereby demonstrating robust adaptability to a high-carbon environment.

However, the intrinsic continuity requirement of PINN demands the adoption of domain decomposition when multiple materials with distinct properties exist. This greatly complicates the gradient computation of design features, restricting the application of PINN to structural shape optimization.

First, we investigated the catalytic activity of bifunctional admixtures of Cu-ZnO-ZrO 2 (CZZ) and a silicoaluminophosphate, SAPO-34, for CO 2 hydrogenation to DME and optimized their reactivity with an emphasis on identifying optimum synthesis conditions for CZZ including Cu:Zn:Zr molar ratio and aging and calcination temperatures. The highest methanol (MeOH) productivity (10.8 mol kg cat –1 h –1 ) was observed for CZZ-611 aged at 40 °C and calcined at 500 °C. When coupled with SAPO-34, CZZ/SAPO-34 reached 20% CO 2 conversion and 56% DME selectivity at optimized conditions (260 °C, 500 psig, and 2000 mL g CZZ –1 h –1 ) and was stable for 50 h time-on-stream, with a slight reduction in activity. Next, we performed kinetic modeling to translate lab-scale findings to industrial packed-bed reactors followed by a techno-economic analysis (TEA) with cradle-to-gate environmental footprint evaluation to evaluate its industrial applicability. A TEA of a 20,000 tpy DME plant revealed raw material costs as the main operating cost drivers (H 2 cost comprises 47% of total cost).

MDSP drops to $1.99/kg with gray H 2 ($1/kg H 2 ) and fluctuates ±$0.14 with changes in CAPEX (±30%) and other economic factors. The plant’s carbon footprint was mainly affected by the H 2 source. Green and gray H 2 resulted in emissions of 0.21 and 4.4 kg CO 2 eq/kg DME, respectively. Importantly, a negative carbon footprint can be achieved by using green H 2 and CO 2 captured directly from air.

This study assesses China’s carbon-neutral transition pathways for the period of 2024–2060 by using the “Establish Before Breaking” principle within a policy-informed, high-resolution energy system modeling framework. To examine the technological, economic, and environmental trade-offs of various carbon-neutral strategies, four scenarios (Reference (REF), Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), Renewable-Based (REB), and Integrated (ING)) were developed, and their impacts were assessed through the application of the Low Emission Analysis Platform and the Next Energy Modeling (LEAP–NEMO) model. The results reveal that the ING scenario represents the most feasible and policy-consistent pathway, achieving an 88% renewable electricity share and a total installed capacity of approximately 8000 gigawatts (GW) by 2060. This pathway relies on a dual-track strategy that combines accelerated renewable deployment—supported by geographical complementarity and multi-regional Power-to-X (PtX) systems—with the strategic stabilization of conventional generation assets. The findings further demonstrate that retaining a small but critical share of flexible coal-CCS (0.2–0.5%) and nuclear capacity is necessary to address sub-daily variability, mitigate duck-curve effects, and ensure power system reliability under high renewable penetration.

The LODs of both cortisol biosensors are achieved well competitively with other sensor systems but without the need for amplification or sample treatments. In order to obtain the selectivity tests, cholesterol and testosterone were used as interfering substances. Moreover, tests in simulated seawater were performed for the same cortisol concentration range achieved in buffer solution to assess the immunosensor response to the complex matrix. Finally, the developed cortisol biosensor was used in a real seawater sample to estimate the cortisol concentration value. The gold standard method has confirmed the estimated cortisol concentration value in real seawater samples. Liquid-liquid extraction was implemented to maximize the response of cortisol in liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-63870-7","authors":["Francesco Arcadio","Simone Soares","Jan Nedoma","Dayana Aguiar","Ana C.

While previous studies assessed transition strategies in isolation, focused mainly on climate impacts, and neglected regional differences, our integrated model assesses transition strategies, globally and regionally, addressing the potential co-benefits and trade-offs across several key drivers of the triple planetary crisis. We note that other important impacts, such as microplastic leakage, remain to be quantified. Achieving a net-zero plastic industry by 2050 (1 Gt annual production) is technically feasible through lignocellulose residue-based feedstocks, recycling, and carbon capture. Meanwhile, this would require consuming all available global lignocellulose residues (2.3 Gt), early retirement of fossil infrastructure to avoid at least 0.35 Gt CO 2 -eq emissions, and ensuring grid decarbonization, presenting great challenges. Without internationally coordinated relocation of plastic production facilities or trade of biomass feedstocks or the derived intermediate chemicals, global net zero becomes unattainable. The global climate benefits through the transition come with trade-offs in higher land-use-related biodiversity loss and particulate matter-related health impacts, especially in regions with vulnerable ecosystems and dense populations, necessitating tailored regional solutions. Reducing primary plastics production could ease the transition, but unsustainable material substitutes need to be avoided.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5c08703","authors":["Jing Huo","Zhanyun Wang","Christopher Oberschelp","Stefanie Hellweg"],"tags":["Key (lock)","Transition (genetics)","Business","Astrobiology","Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5c08703","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401789487","name":"Integration of Government Policies on the Global Level for Green Hydrogen Production","source":"openalex","abstract":"The majority of the hydrogen produced today is derived from fossil fuels, with natural gas accounting for almost half of the total hydrogen production worldwide in 2018. While coal remained a significant contributor to global hydrogen production in 2018, accounting for 18% primarily due to its prevalent use in China, cleaner sources like electricity and oil each contributed only 0.48%. The remaining fraction came from by-products of industrial processes. Recognizing its transformative potential as a clean energy carrier and key enabler of net-zero goals, the global community is embracing hydrogen with unprecedented enthusiasm. Projections point towards a significant expansion, with demand expected to surge tenfold or more in the foreseeable future. Hydrogen’s trajectory has shown moderate growth with a 28% increase in global demand since 2010. However, studies predict a transformative leap fueled by strategic incentives and investments. By 2050, under optimal conditions, hydrogen is poised to account for 18% to 24% of global energy consumption, with individual countries potentially exceeding this range. The global landscape of climate action is witnessing a paradigm shift towards hydrogen and embracing this transformative potential, countries and regions worldwide are diligently formulating their own hydrogen development strategies. These country-specific roadmaps meticulously chart optimal supply pathways and end-use applications, aiming to fuel their transition to clean economies and carve out lucrative niches in the international hydrogen market. With net-zero ambitions taking center stage, these nations are actively crafting policies that directly incentivize investments in hydrogen technologies, recognizing its pivotal role in a clean energy future. Through this comprehensive examination of global policies on green hydrogen aims to inform policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders, contributing to the ongoing discourse on sustainable energy transition and fostering a deeper understanding of the multifaceted dimensions of green hydrogen policy development. This chapter discusses the status of governmental policies and their integration at the global level to achieve an effective framework for green hydrogen production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/bk-2024-1473.ch001","authors":["Shahrukh Nawaj Alam","Zaira Khalid","Bhaskar Singh","Abhishek Guldhe"],"tags":["Production (economics)","Hydrogen production","Government (linguistics)","Business","Hydrogen"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/bk-2024-1473.ch001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4389624098","name":"Gene networks for use in metabolomic data analysis of blood plasma from patients with postoperative delirium","source":"openalex","abstract":"Postoperative delirium (POD) is considered one of the most severe complications, resulting in impaired cognitive function, extended hospitalization, and higher treatment costs. The challenge of early POD diagnosis becomes particularly significant in cardiac surgery cases, as the incidence of this complication exceeds 50 % in certain patient categories. While it is known that neuroinflammation, neurotransmitter imbalances, disruptions in neuroendocrine regulation, and interneuronal connections contribute significantly to the development of POD, the molecular, genetic mechanisms of POD in cardiac surgery patients, along with potential metabolomic diagnostic markers, remain inadequately understood. In this study, blood plasma was collected from a group of patients over 65 years old after cardiac surgery involving artificial circulation. The collected samples were analyzed for sphingomyelin content and quantity using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) methods. The analysis revealed four significantly different sphingomyelin contents in patients with POD compared to those who did not develop POD (control group). Employing gene network reconstruction, we perceived a set of 82 regulatory enzymes affiliated with the genetic coordination of the sphingolipid metabolism pathway. Within this set, 47 are assumed to be regulators of gene expression, governing the transcription of enzymes pivotal to the metabolic cascade. Complementing this, an additional assembly of 35 regulators are considered to be regulators of activity, degradation, and translocation dynamics of enzymes integral to the aforementioned pathway. Analysis of the overrepresentation of diseases with which these regulatory proteins are associated showed that the regulators can be categorized into two groups, associated with cardiovascular pathologies (CVP) and neuropsychiatric diseases (NPD), respectively. The regulators associated with CVP are expectedly related to the effects on myocardial tissue during surgery. It is hypothesized that dysfunction of NPD-associated regulators may specifically account for the development of POD after cardiac surgery. Thus, the identified regulatory genes may provide a basis for planning further experiments, in order to study disorders at the level of expression of these genes, as well as impaired function of proteins encoded by them in patients with POD. The identified significant sphingolipids can be considered as potential markers of POD.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18699/vjgb-23-89","authors":["В. А. Иванисенко","N. V. Basov","A. A. Makarova","A.

The present computational study aims at understanding its catalytic performance and reaction mechanisms tackling its thermodynamics, kinetics, and surface dynamic effects, combining Gibbs free energy profiles gained by density functional theory (DFT), mean‐field kinetics by microkinetic modeling, and rare‐event steps by kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC). The RWGS endergonicity goes for the use of high temperatures and reactants partial pressures to make the reaction exergonic. Gibbs free energy profiles show a preference for redox mechanism, whereas microkinetic simulations favor a low‐temperature preference of formate mechanism. The kMC reveals simultaneous operating redox and formate pathways, where surface coverage disfavors redox favoring the formate pathway. A peak performance is found at 700 K, in line with reported experiments, where the formation of surface O2* is found to be key, acting as a reservoir for O* adatoms while freeing surface sites upon O2* formation. Even though high turnover frequencies are predicted, the system could benefit from swing operando conditions, alternating CO production steps with H2 reduction regeneration steps, and/or ways to reduce the surface O2* and so to have more active catalytic sites.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cctc.202400122","authors":["Daniel Dolz","Raúl Armas","Pablo Lozano‐Reis","Ángel Morales‐García","Francesc Viñes","R.

Nurses' inability to handle these conflicts affect their quality of care and may lead to missed nursing care. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between work-family conflict and missed nursing care in Iran. MATERIALS & METHODS: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 270 nurses working in two hospitals affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences (Sina & Shariati) from September to December 2023. The research community included all nurses working in medical-surgical wards in the designated hospitals. The research samples were included in the study in a targeted and quota sampling after obtaining organizational permits, ethical approval and informed consent. Data collection was done using three questionnaires including: Demographic information form, Carlson's work-family conflict and Kalisch MISSCARE Questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed in SPSS software, version 25. RESULTS: The results of Pearson's correlation test showed that there is a positive relationship between nurses' work-family conflict and missed nursing care scores (r = 0.21) (p = 0.001). The mean (SD) score of nurses' work-family conflict was reported at a moderate level (61.58(11.57)) and the mean (SD) score of missed nursing care was reported at a low level (47.84(16.48)). Nurses under 29 years old and male nurses had more missed nursing care other than their participants. No more relationship was observed between other demographic variables with missed nursing care and nurses' work-family conflict. CONCLUSION: According to the results of this research, it can be concluded that the existence of work-family conflict can be an obstacle for the correct implementation of nursing care. In such a way that nurses exposed to higher work-family conflict level had higher missed nursing care. Based on the findings of this research, it is recommended for health care providers and nursing managers to identify nurses exposed to high work-family conflicts, adopt programs to decrease their conflicts and consequently reduce missed nursing care.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12912-024-02556-x","authors":["Mohammad Javad Ahmadzadeh-Zeidi","Zahra Rooddehghan","Shima Haghani"],"tags":["Medicine","Nursing","Cross-sectional study","Nursing research","Family medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12912-024-02556-x","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412456672","name":"Developing a Competency-Based Transition Education Framework for Marine Superintendents: A DACUM-Integrated Approach in the Context of Eco-Digital Maritime Transformation","source":"openalex","abstract":"Amid structural changes driven by the greening and digital transformation of the maritime industry, the demand for career transitions of seafarers with onboard experience to shore-based positions—particularly ship superintendents—is steadily increasing. However, the current lack of a systematic education and career development framework to support such transitions poses a critical challenge for shipping companies seeking to secure sustainable human resources. The aim of this study was to develop a competency-based training program that facilitates the effective transition of seafarers to shore-based ship superintendent roles. We integrated a developing a curriculum (DACUM) analysis with competency-based job analysis to achieve this aim. The core competencies required for ship superintendent duties were identified through three expert consultations. In addition, social network analysis (SNA) was used to quantitatively assess the structure and priority of the training content. The analysis revealed that convergent competencies, such as digital technology literacy, responsiveness to environmental regulations, multicultural organizational management, and interpretation of global maritime regulations, are essential for a successful career shift. Based on these findings, a modular training curriculum comprising both common foundational courses and specialized advanced modules tailored to job categories was designed. The proposed curriculum integrated theoretical instruction, practical training, and reflective learning to enhance both applied understanding and onsite implementation capabilities. Furthermore, the concept of a Seafarer Success Support Platform was proposed to support a lifecycle-based career development pathway that enables rotational mobility between sea and shore positions. This digital learning platform was designed to offer personalized success pathways aligned with the career stages and competency needs of maritime personnel. Its cyclical structure, comprising career transition, competency development, field application, and performance evaluation, enables seamless career integration between shipboard- and shore-based roles. Therefore, the platform has the potential to evolve into a practical educational model that integrates training, career development, and policies. This study contributes to maritime human resource development by integrating the DACUM method with a competency-based framework and applying social network analysis (SNA) to quantitatively prioritize training content. It further proposes the Seafarer Success Support Platform as an innovative model to support structured career transitions from shipboard roles to shore-based supervisory positions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17146455","authors":["Yung-Ung Yu","Chang-Hee Lee","Young-Joong Ahn"],"tags":["Context (archaeology)","Transition (genetics)","Transformation (genetics)","Engineering management","Engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17146455","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391535842","name":"Grazing distribution of wild guanacos and livestock in Patagonian rangelands: an ecological approach to assess mixed carrying capacity and overgrazing risk in extensive pastoral systems","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Context Along with forage availability, rangeland’s carrying capacity (CC) is determined by other landscape features limiting the spatial distribution of the animals, such as water sources or topography. However, livestock management is often based on the stock adjustment to an estimated CC, assuming that the animals use the entire paddocks and wild herbivores are absent. Objectives Our objectives were to address how the CC estimation deviates from the classic outcome when the effective space use by livestock is considered, and when the forage consumption by co-occurring wild herbivore is accounted for. Finally, we evaluated large herbivores densities regarding this mixed CC. Methods Based on herbivore counts and geo-referenced explanatory variables within a ranch of Chubut, Argentina, we predicted sheep and guanaco distribution at a scale of 0.25 km 2 cells. Addressing the relationship between the predicted sheep stock and the CC in each cell, we then re-calculated the CC adjusted by spatial use. We also estimated a mixed CC by computing the forage consumption by sheep and guanacos. Results Sheep distribution was shaped mainly by drinking water location, promoting over and under-grazed areas. Guanaco distribution pattern opposed livestock density. Accounting for the restrictions in sheep spatial use resulted in a reduction of the estimated CC compared to the classic approach, whereas the mixed approach resulted in higher CC estimates. Conclusions Accounting for herbivore presence and distribution modifies the CC estimation and therefore the diagnosis of overstock situations. The proposed adjustments to CC assessment methods can contribute to the sustainable management of livestock and wildlife in rangelands.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-024-01800-8","authors":["Victoria María Sueiro Rodríguez","Andrea Marino","Natalia Schroeder"],"tags":["Overgrazing","Rangeland","Grazing","Carrying capacity","Livestock"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-024-01800-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410595095","name":"Catalyst-Controlled Divergent Synthesis of Bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes and Cyclobutenes: The Unique Effect of Au(I)","source":"openalex","abstract":"Catalyst-controlled chemodivergent synthesis is a powerful strategy for exploring the chemical space.

This study aims to investigate the estimation and determinants of direct hospitalisation cost for patients with CHD in Iranian hospitals. METHODS: We identified patients with CHD in Iran in 2019-2020. Data were gathered from the Iran Health Insurance Organisation information systems and the Ministry of Health and Medical Education. This was a cross-sectional prevalence-based study. Generalised linear models were used to find the determinants of hospitalisation cost for patients with CHD. A total of 86 834 patients suffering from CHD were studied. RESULTS: Mean hospitalisation cost per CHD patient was US$382.90±US$500.72 while the mean daily hospitalisation cost per CHD patient was US$89.71±US$89.99. In-hospital mortality of CHD was 2.52%. Hospitalisation accommodation and medications had the highest share of hospitalisation costs (25.59% and 22.63%, respectively). Men spent 1.12 (95% CI 1.11 to 1.13) times more on hospitalisation costs compared with women, and individuals aged 60 to 69 had hospitalisation costs 1.04 (95% CI 1.02 to 1.06) times higher than those in the 0-49 age range. Patients insured by the Iranian Fund have significantly higher costs 1.17 (95% CI 1.14 to 1.19) than the Rural fund. Hospitalisation costs for patients with CHD who received surgery and angiography were significantly 2.36 (95% CI 2.30 to 2.43) times higher than for patients who did not undergo surgery and angiography. CONCLUSION: Applying CHD prevention strategies for men and the middle-aged population (50-70 years) is strongly recommended. Prudent use and prescribing of medications will be helpful to reduce hospitalisation cost.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2023-074711","authors":["Zohreh Kazemi","Sara Emamgholipour","Rajabali Daroudi","Masud Yunesian","Mohammad Sadegh Hassanvand"],"tags":["Medicine","Indirect costs","Christian ministry","Health economics","Estimation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2023-074711","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4399827445","name":"Dual Impacts of Space Heating Electrification and Climate Change Increase Uncertainties in Peak Load Behavior and Grid Capacity Requirements in Texas","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Around 60% of households in Texas currently rely on electricity for space heating. As decarbonization efforts increase, non‐electrified households could adopt electric heat pumps, significantly increasing peak (highest) electricity demand in winter. Simultaneously, anthropogenic climate change is expected to increase temperatures, the potential for summer heat waves, and associated electricity demand for cooling. Uncertainty regarding the timing and magnitude of these concurrent changes raises questions about how they will jointly affect the seasonality of peak demand, firm capacity requirements, and grid reliability. This study investigates the net effects of residential space heating electrification and climate change on long‐term demand patterns and load shedding potential, using climate change projections, a predictive load model, and a direct current optimal power flow (DCOPF) model of the Texas grid. Results show that full electrification of residential space heating by replacing existing fossil fuel use with higher efficiency heat pumps could significantly improve reliability under hotter futures. Less efficient heat pumps may result in more severe winter peaking events and increased reliability risks. As heating electrification intensifies, system planners will need to balance the potential for greater resource adequacy risk caused by shifts in seasonal peaking behavior alongside the benefits (improved efficiency and reductions in emissions).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024ef004443","authors":["Henry Ssembatya","Jordan D.

These activities pose significant risks to groundwater, including contamination, depletion, and structural damage to aquifers. This study outlines a comprehensive approach to hydrogeological modeling aimed at understanding and mitigating these risks. The modeling process begins with extensive data collection, including geological, hydrological, chemical, and land use data, sourced through field surveys, remote sensing, and existing databases. This data informs the development of a detailed geological framework and parameterization of hydrological properties, such as hydraulic conductivity, porosity, and recharge rates. Boundary and initial conditions are established to reflect the real-world conditions of the study area. Calibration and validation of the model are achieved through manual and automated techniques, ensuring the model's accuracy and reliability. Various extraction scenarios are then simulated, including baseline, worst-case, and mitigation scenarios, to assess potential impacts on groundwater quality, levels, and aquifer integrity. Risk assessment methodologies, both probabilistic and deterministic, are employed to quantify these impacts. The study also explores mitigation and management strategies, emphasizing preventative measures like safe drilling practices and monitoring systems, as well as remediation techniques for contamination and aquifer restoration. Regulatory and policy frameworks are considered essential for ensuring compliance and effective management. Through case studies of successful implementations, the study highlights best practices and lessons learned, offering valuable insights for future research and development in hydrogeological modeling.

While DNA methylation of metabolic-related genes mediates the transmission of detrimental effects from maternal high-fat diet (HFD), its role in programming hepatic cholesterol metabolism in offspring, particularly during weaning, remains elusive. METHODS: Female C57BL/6 J mice were administered a HFD or control diet, before and during, gestation and lactation. Hepatic cholesterol metabolism genes in the liver of offspring were evaluated in terms of their expression. The potential regulator of cholesterol metabolism in the offspring's liver was identified, and the function of the targeted transcription factor was evaluated through in vitro experiments. The methylation level of the target transcription factor was assessed using the MassARRAY EpiTYPER platform. To determine whether transcription factor expression is influenced by DNA methylation, in vitro experiments were performed using 5-azacitidine and Lucia luciferase activity assays. RESULTS: Here, we demonstrate that maternal HFD results in higher body weight and hypercholesterolemia in the offspring as early as weaning age. Maternal HFD feeding exacerbates hepatic cholesterol accumulation in offspring primarily by inhibiting cholesterol elimination to bile acids, with a significant decrease of hepatic cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1). RNA-seq analysis identified myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A) as a key transcription factor in the offspring liver, which was significantly downregulated in offspring of HFD-fed dams. MEF2A knockdown led to CYP7A1 downregulation and lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells, while MEF2A overexpression reversed this effect. Dual luciferase reporter assays confirmed direct modulation of CYP7A1 transcription by MEF2A. Furthermore, the reduced MEF2A expression was attributed to DNA hypermethylation in the Mef2a promoter region. This epigenetic modification manifested as early as the fetal stage. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides novel insights into how maternal HFD orchestrates hepatic cholesterol metabolism via MEF2A hypermethylation-mediated CYP7A1 suppression in offspring at weaning.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s11658-024-00673-8","authors":["Ling Zhang","Wenyu Zou","Shixuan Zhang","Honghua Wu","Ying Gao","Junqing Zhang","Jia Zheng"],"tags":["Offspring","Cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase","Biology","Endocrinology","Internal medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s11658-024-00673-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412231672","name":"Udbud af og efterspørgsel efter CCUS-relateret arbejdskraft og kompetencer:Kvantitative analyser af relevante arbejdsmarkeds- og uddannelsesstatistikker i Danmark","source":"openalex","abstract":"KAPITEL 1 INTRODUKTION INDLEDNINGDenne rapport indeholder kvantitative analyser af udbud af og efterspørgsel efter arbejdskraft og kompetencer relateret til Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS -CO 2 -fangst, -anvendelse og -lagring).Analyserne er primært baseret på arbejdsmarkeds-og uddannelsesstatistikker fra Danmarks Statistik (DST) og Styrelsen for Arbejdsmarked og Rekruttering (STAR).CO 2 Vision-projektet har fokus på region Nordjylland, men, som man vil se i rapporten, så er der relativt få virksomheder i Danmark, som arbejder med CCUS.Det indebærer, at når en analyse snævres ind til Nordjylland, er der ikke tilstrækkeligt med data til at udføre meningsfulde analyser, eller til at leve op til DSTs krav om diskretionering af data.Endvidere viser de kvantitative analyser, der introduceres i kapitel 2, at det danske CCUS-innovationsøkosystem er nationalt, og en snæver analyse på nordjyske virksomheder ville derfor sandsynligvis overse vigtige elementer i økosystemet.","url":"https://openalex.org/W4412231672","authors":["Jacob Rubæk Holm","Valeria Gulieva"],"tags":["Gynecology","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-08-24","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4200539799","name":"Life expectancy of population of the northern regions in the Russian Federation: Tendencies and potential for growth","source":"openalex","abstract":"The article is devoted to the tendencies in life expectancy of population of the northern regions of Russia in the context of growth and regional convergence indicator in the early 2000s and possibilities for its further growth. The sources of information are the official Rosstat data. Life expectancy in the North has been found to be largely subordinate to the Russian-wide patterns of the regional convergence: the compaction of the northern constituent entities to the national average level occurred at both the top and bottom levels. Both the Khanty-Mansiysk and Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Districts experienced a significant decline, as did the gap in most regions with life expectancy below that of the Russian Federation. Only Kamchatka Krai and Magadan Oblast increased the lag, while maintaining group affiliation in the regional grouping in terms of life expectancy. The potential for the further growth in life expectancy in the North is being determined by the insufficient reduction in mortality caused by the circulatory system diseases and increase in the neoplasm mortality within the period of 2003–2019, and environmental and behavioral risk factors reflected in the differences in life expectancy in different settlements, its gender differentiation and the high level of mortality from external causes. The large difference in life expectancy between urban and rural areas makes the large potential in the northern regions except Murmansk Oblast and partly the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). Almost all northern constituent entities have a significant potential posed by the male under-representation indicator. Despite a significant rate of decline, external causes of death and their share in cause-related mortality are widespread in the North.

Antiangiogenic therapy plays a pivotal role in normalizing blood vessels and remodeling the tumor immune microenvironment while ICIs not only enhance the host's antitumor immune response by blocking negative regulatory signals but also promote vascular normalization. The communication between the vasculature and immune system enables the combined use of ICIs and antiangiogenic therapy to have a synergistic effect. Clinical research has also demonstrated that this combination therapy can significantly improve the efficacy and survival of patients with various solid tumors, the addition of pembrolizumab to axitinib can significantly improve PFS (15.4 m vs 11.1 m) compared to sunitinib in first-line treatments of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Bevacizumab is the first approved anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody. Bevacizumab in combination with atezolizumab obtain significant benefit in terms of PFS (6.9 m vs 4.3 m) compared to sorafenib in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Additionally, more studies are needed to understand the optimal timing and sequencing of these therapies to maximize patient benefit. This review aims to elucidate the mechanisms of action of ICIs plus antiangiogenic drugs and provide summaries of related clinical trials.

Currently, there is a significant disparity in the availability, supply, and utilisation levels of SCMs worldwide, particularly in South Africa. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the characteristics and performance of various SCMs, including local availability, factors driving demand, production, and utilisation. The findings indicate that fly ash and limestone calcined clay are the most widely available SCM resources in South Africa, with deposits exceeding 1 billion tonnes each. Fly ash stockpiles continuously increase due to the reliance on coal-fired power plants for 85% of generated electricity and a low fly ash utilisation rate of 7%, significantly below international utilisation levels of 10–98%. Conversely, slag resources are depleting due to the steady decline of local steel production caused by energy and input costs, alongside the growing importation of steel products. Combined, the estimated production of slag and silica fume is about 1.4 million tonnes per annum, leading to their limited availability and utilisation in niche applications such as high-performance concrete and marine environments. Furthermore, 216,450 tonnes of SCM could potentially be processed annually from agricultural waste. In addition to quality, logistics, costs, and other challenges, this quantity can only replace 1.5% of clinker in South Africa, raising concerns about the viability of SCMs from agricultural waste.

This systematic review follows Cochrane's methodological standards. Comprehensive searches for any controlled clinical studies were conducted in MEDLINE, Scopus, CINAHL, and CENTRAL (up to 18 April 2024, and an updated search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to 29 September 2025).

No other comparisons were identified. Due to high clinical and methodological heterogeneity among studies, no meta-analysis was conducted.

Six NRSIs reported adjusted data on ICU mortality, two on overall mortality, and three on ICU LOS, with heterogeneous results. High risk of bias and substantial heterogeneity limited the certainty, emphasizing the need for robust, patient-centered research in clinical studies to define telemedicine's role in intensive care and optimize its implementation. Future studies should particularly ensure transparent and comprehensive reporting.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pdig.0001126","authors":["Tamara Pscheidl","Carina Benstoem","Kelly Ansems","Lena Saal-Bauernschubert","Anne C.

The catalysis of AF-M/M from 1/9 to 9/1 was investigated comprehensively, with characterization of the catalytic desorption with heat duty and desorption factors. Results indicated the special composite catalyst (AF-1/9) possessed optimized catalysis with a relative heat duty of 78.7% and a desorption factor of 0.0037 × 10−3 (mol CO2/L2 kJ min) and relative desorption factor of 194.7%. The structure–activity correlations indicated that the mesopore surface area (MSA), which reached 329 m2/g, and Brϕnsted/Lewis acid ratio (B/L ratio) of 0.11 were the most important factors for enhancing catalysis. Furthermore, molecular simulations were conducted for the catalytic carbamate breakdown mechanism, focusing on the “isomerization” of “carbamate acid” vs. “Zwitterion” as the key step. From the DFT study, the isomerization was most likely to proceed with H2O as catalyst via intermolecular proton transfer instead of intramolecular proton transfer, with an activation energy Ea of 85.9 kJ/mol. With the aid of AlOOH the isomerization was further facilitated due to stabilized Zwitterion, and the Ea decreased to 69.2 kJ/mol. The results not only synthesized a new heterogeneous catalyst but also revealed the map of “isomerization” on a molecular level. Such a discovery indicates that water-assisted proton transfer is advantageous for catalytic carbamate breakdown.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/catal14110779","authors":["Huancong Shi","Junge Lv","Yongcheng Feng","Haoran Zhang","Zhibo Xiong","Shijian Lu","Jing Jin","Paitoon Tontiwachwuthikul"],"tags":["Desorption","Catalysis","Composite number","Mechanism (biology)","Chemical engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/catal14110779","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406328878","name":"Cost-effective contract negotiation strategies for international oil & gas projects","source":"openalex","abstract":"Cost-effective contract negotiation is a critical component in managing international oil and gas projects, where financial efficiency and operational reliability are paramount. The complexity of these projects, which often involve cross-border transactions, diverse stakeholders, and fluctuating market conditions, requires a strategic approach to negotiation. This review highlights key strategies for ensuring cost-effective contract negotiations in the sector. First, a focus on risk-sharing mechanisms allows parties to mitigate uncertainties related to oil price volatility, geopolitical risks, and environmental regulations, fostering mutually beneficial agreements. Collaborative negotiation techniques, where stakeholders adopt a partnership mindset, enhance trust and transparency, leading to better long-term outcomes. Emphasizing local content requirements and engaging with local partners can also reduce costs and improve regulatory compliance, ensuring smoother project execution. In addition, adopting a lifecycle cost analysis during negotiations enables stakeholders to account for long-term financial implications, rather than just initial costs, ensuring more sustainable economic outcomes. Contract standardization can further simplify negotiations by reducing ambiguities and accelerating the drafting process, while flexible pricing models allow for adaptability in response to changing market conditions, minimizing potential cost overruns. Technology integration, such as utilizing data analytics and contract management software, provides real-time insights into pricing, resource allocation, and potential legal complications, helping decision-makers to optimize contract terms. Furthermore, dispute resolution clauses should be carefully crafted to prevent costly legal battles, fostering quicker and more efficient resolutions in case of conflicts. Ultimately, cost-effective contract negotiation strategies require a balance of tactical expertise, legal knowledge, and financial foresight, ensuring the profitability and success of international oil and gas projects. These strategies also emphasize the importance of flexibility, collaboration, and risk management in navigating the intricacies of global oil and gas agreements.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54660/.ijmrge.2024.5.4.1284-1297","authors":["Peter Ifechukwude Egbumokei","Ikiomoworio Nicholas Dienagha","Wags Numoipiri Digitemie","Ekene Cynthia Onukwulu","Olusola Temidayo Oladipo"],"tags":["Negotiation","Business","Transparency (behavior)","Process management","Industrial organization"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.54660/.ijmrge.2024.5.4.1284-1297","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404426511","name":"Pore-Scale Heterogeneity and Salinity Impacts on CO2 Storage in Deep Saline Aquifers: A Microfluidic and Computational Investigation","source":"openalex","abstract":"Achieving net-zero emissions and curbing the longterm increase in global warming requires large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration through various techniques.Among the plethora of options for largescale CO2 storage, geological storage stands out as the most promising, given its expansive storage capacity and minimal environmental impact.Deep saline aquifers, in particular, have emerged as frontrunners due to their vast storage potential and broad global availability.In saline aquifers, various trapping mechanisms, including structural and stratigraphic trapping, residual or capillary trapping, solubility trapping, and mineral trapping, work synergistically to store CO2.The displacement dynamics of CO2-brine two-phase flow in pore-scale dictates the structural and residual trapping of CO2 in subsurface formations.In this regard, a highly heterogeneous porous microchannel was used to investigate the impact of salinity and porous heterogeneity on CO2-brine displacement dynamics.A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation based on the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method was used to study the immiscible two-phase flow dynamics under deep reservoir extreme temperature and pressure conditions.Microfluidic experiments, conducted under a high-resolution digital microscope with different brine salinities, provide porescale flow visualization and quantification of trapped CO2.Meanwhile, CFD simulations on the same porous media consider thermophysical property changes for CO2 and brine under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, elucidating their impact on CO2 trapping or storage.The observed unstable finger-like displacement pattern in the microchannel, attributed to very low capillary number (Ca) and viscosity ratio (M) values, results in CO2 channeling with limited water displacement, thus restricting CO2 saturation at around 50 %.Along with viscous fingering, small pore-throats pronounce the snap-off effects at the micro-scale, which # This is a paper for the 16th International Conference on Applied Energy (ICAE2024), Sep.1-5, 2024, Niigata, Japan.increase the residual trapping of CO2 in the porous media.An increase in brine salinity increases viscosity, interfacial tension, and contact angle, leading to a more vertical sweep of water and increasing the CO2 storage capacity of a saline aquifer.Under reservoir conditions, the comparatively higher density of CO2 and increase in contact angle resulting from the adsorption of CO2 increases CO2 trapping in porous channels.This combined approach of microfluidic experiments and CFD simulations provided valuable visualization and insights into CO2-brine dynamics at the pore-scale, which would contribute significantly towards efficient, enhanced, and secure storage of CO2.","url":"https://doi.org/10.46855/energy-proceedings-11559","authors":["Rajat Dehury","Jitendra S.

Stabilized full-fatted rice bran (sFFRB), stabilized defatted rice bran (sDFRB), and rice bran wax (RBW) extracted and purified from crude rice bran oil (cRBO) were tested. Two commercial lubricants, including magnesium stearate (MGS) and hydrogenated cottonseed oil (HVO), were employed as the standards in the formulated mixtures, which contained spray-dried rice starch (SDRS) as a diluent. The tableting was carried out for each formulation, and the obtained tablets were physically and mechanically evaluated. Among the parameters investigated were the general appearance, ejection force, weight variation, hardness, friability, and disintegration time. The powder flow was also determined for each formulation. The results showed that the tablet ejection forces for all the lubricated formulations (58–259 N) were significantly lower than that of the non-lubricated control formulation (349 N). The use of sFFRB as a lubricant at 0.5–2.0% w/w could lower the ejection force up to 78%, but the hardness reduced so drastically that the formulations failed the friability test due to the chipping of the tablets’ edges. Moreover, sDFRB performed significantly better as the use at 0.5–1.0% w/w in the formulation helped to lower the ejection forces by up to 80% while maintaining the changes in the tablet hardness within 10%. RBW functioned effectively as a tablet lubricant at a concentration of 0.5% w/w, yielding tablets with good strength comparable to standard HVO lubricant while helping to reduce the ejection force by 82%. In formulations with good lubrication, i.e., friability < 1%, the powder flow was improved, and the tablet disintegration times were within the same range as the control and HVO formulations. In conclusion, sDFRB displayed a lubricant property at concentrations between 0.5 and 1.0% w/w, with slightly negative effects on the tablet hardness. RBW from KJ CMU107 rice was an effective tablet lubricant at 0.5% w/w, with no effect on tablet hardness. Both materials can be further developed for use as commercial lubricants in direct compression.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pharmaceutics16030428","authors":["Ornanong S.

There are two primary geothermal complexes within the anomaly, composed of Cambrian and Devonian aquifers. The Cambrian formation is composed of sandstones that have a reservoir temperature reaching up to 96 °C (depth > 2000 m). The Devonian aquifer is composed of unconsolidated sands of Parnu–Kemeri and has a reservoir temperature of up to 46 °C (depth > 1000 m). Historically, both formations have been investigated for geothermal energy production. In this article, we present a detailed literature review of the geothermal work carried out on both formations, including past, present, and some possible future studies. The study presented in this paper highlights the key findings of previous research work, summarizes the research gaps, and then elaborates on the possible applications of emerging technologies to bridge the research gaps and improve our understanding of geothermal complexes in Lithuania. Although it is not the main aim of this article, this article also touches upon the important need to develop 2D/3D numerical models, to quantify uncertainties, in the evaluation of the geothermal potential in Lithuania for commercial development. This study also highlights possibilities of extending geothermal development to depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs through repurposing the high-water-production wells. Moreover, from the literature review, it can be concluded that the Lithuanian geothermal aquifers are hyper-saline in nature and temperature changes lead to the deposition of salts both upstream and downstream of the reservoir. Therefore, there is a need for developing multiphysics thermo-mechanical–chemical (THMC) models for evaluation of reservoir behavior. The literature also describes the potential use and development of the THMC model as a part of future work that must be carried out.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17071576","authors":["Abdul Rashid Memon","Pijus Makauskas","Ieva Kaminskaite-Baranauskiene","Mayur Pal"],"tags":["Geothermal gradient","Lithuanian","Geothermal energy","Production (economics)","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17071576","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4390111466","name":"On the way to EU’s clean energy transition: new approaches and challenges for Gas Regulation in the EU","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Gas has long been omnipresent in EU energy mix. The challenges created by Russia’s war on Ukraine, coupled with the Union’s decarbonization objectives, place gaseous fuels overall into a new perspective. On the one hand, the use of natural gas, a fossil fuel, mainly imported until recently from Russia, needs to be alleviated. On the other hand, natural gas has acquired an interim but still important status until the anticipated ‘green transition’ is finally achieved. Hydrogen for its part, which can range from relatively ‘dirty’ to ‘green’, is an energy carrier set to play a fundamental role in the process. The EU energy regulatory framework is rapidly expanding and evolving addressing the ‘trilemma’ of energy efficiency, energy security, and climate challenges, at times of financial constraints. The endgame and strategic objective is efficient full deployment of renewables. Gas cannot be presently abandoned, but rather sustainably utilized, in a cost-effective manner. Ideas put forward include repurposing existing pipelines, enhancing financial support for clean gases, rationalizing disinvestments, diversifying supply and employing Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage.

This increase in the greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere has been identified as the main cause of global warming. The absorption–regeneration postcombustion carbon capture technology has the highest Technology Readiness Level (TRL) to limit the CO 2 emissions. Nevertheless, the type of process is a high consumer of thermal energy to regenerate the liquid solvent used to absorb carbon dioxide. A solution to reduce this high energy demand is the use of liquid–liquid biphasic (or demixing) solvents that have the capacity to split into two phases under certain conditions of temperature and CO 2 loading. The present work aims to classify the aqueous liquid–liquid biphasic solvents after a literature review of the existing solvents to determine the most promising ones for further investigations. This methodology is composed of two successive steps. The first step is based on six technoeconomic indicators: the regeneration energy, the CO 2 absorption capacity, the CO 2 absorption rate, the volume ratio between the two phases, the volatility of organic compounds, and the solvent cost. The contribution of each key indicator is weighted using the analytical hierarchy process method. The result of this first step is the ranking of the 30 solvents identified in the literature. The second step is a Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) analysis. It excludes 17 solvents containing at least one molecule that presents a serious hazard for human life or the environment. After the application of this methodological evaluation, the final results show that the three most promising aqueous biphasic solvents are, respectively, composed of triethylenetetramine (30 wt %) and propan-1-ol (50 wt %), N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine (35 wt %) and triethylenetetramine (15 wt %), and diethylethanolamine (64 wt %) and methylaminopropylamine (19 wt %).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.4c04342","authors":["Damien Verdonck","Lionel Dubois","Guy De Weireld","Diane Thomas"],"tags":["Liquid liquid","Absorption (acoustics)","Process (computing)","Regeneration (biology)","Selection (genetic algorithm)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.4c04342","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410360179","name":"Electronic Health Records: A Gateway to AI-Driven Multimorbidity Solutions—A Comprehensive Systematic Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background/Objectives: Artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important role in real-world health research.

Thus, most reviews on LSBs are focused on strategies for inhibiting shuttle behavior and achieving dendrite‐free LSBs to improve the cycle life and Coulombic efficiency of LSBs. However, LSBs have various promising advantages, including an ultrahigh energy density (2600 Wh kg −1 ), cost‐effectiveness, environmental friendliness, low weight, and flexible attributes, which suggest the feasibility of their current and near‐future practical applications in fields that require these characteristics, irrespective of their moderate lifespan. Here, for the first time, challenges impeding the current and near‐future applications of LSBs are comprehensively addressed. In particular, the latest progress and novel materials based on their electrochemical characteristics are summarized, with a focus on the gravimetric/volumetric energy density (capacity), loading mass and sulfur content in cathodes, electrolyte‐to‐sulfur ratios, rate capability, and maximization of these advantageous characteristics for applications in specific areas. Additionally, potential areas for practical applications of LSBs are suggested, with insights for improving LSB performances from a different standpoint and facilitating their integration into various application domains.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bte2.20240051","authors":["Junyoung Heo","Hawon Gu","Changhee Lee","Junghwan Sung","Dong Hee Kim","Jiye Han","Yoo Jin Oh","Seongki Ahn","Il Jeon","Junwoo Park"],"tags":["Current (fluid)","Energy density","Lithium (medication)","Engineering physics","Power (physics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bte2.20240051","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7119517442","name":"Unlocking decarbonisation in hard-to-abate sectors: A quantile-based comparative techno-economic analysis of e-fuel pathways","source":"openalex","abstract":"Power-to-X (P2X) including electrolytic hydrogen and e-fuels is a promising solution to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors, such as long-distance transportation and chemical feedstocks, while it remains unclear whether these pathways are techno-economically feasible in current markets. This work conducts a comparative techno-economic analysis of four P2X pathways (hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and methane), based on generic techno-economic quantile models, including three quantiles ( Q 1 -25 %: Optimistic, Q 2 -50 %: Average, and Q 3 -75 %: Pessimistic) of parameters such as conversion efficiency, unit capital cost, and lifetime, as well as co-optimisation framework that optimises installed capacities and hourly flexible operation strategies, aiming to achieve the lowest levelised cost of x -fuel (LCOX). The profitability of each pathway is analysed using a profitability index (PI), defined as the ratio of market prices in trading locations to the sum of LCOX and transportation costs. A case study in Ordos, China shows that, in 2024, the mass-based and energy-based LCOXs of hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and methane across all scenarios are 2.2–7.1, 0.5–1.8, 0.65–2.1, and 1.8–5.5 EUR/kg (67–212, 103–344, 117–375, and 130–399 EUR/MWh), respectively, with the LCOXs decreasing by 44 %–67 % from Q 3 -Pessimistic to Q 1 -Optimistic. In Q 1 -Optimistic and Q 2 -Average scenarios, the hydrogen pathway is profitable in all considered locations owing to emerging hydrogen markets in China, with PIs of 1.44–1.73 and 1.05–1.25, respectively. However, none of the ammonia, methanol, or methane pathway is profitable, as their current fossil-based market prices are significantly lower than the LCOXs derived from electrolytic hydrogen feedstock.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2026.121035","authors":["Yi He","Jian Song","Selma Brynolf","Maria Grahn"],"tags":["Profitability index","Work (physics)","Quantile","Index (typography)","Position (finance)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2026.121035","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400682328","name":"2′-O-Alkyl-N3-Methyluridine Functionalized Passenger Strand Improves RNAi Activity by Modulating the Thermal Stability","source":"openalex","abstract":"Herein, we have demonstrated that the siRNA activity could be enhanced by incorporating the guide strand in the RISC complex through thermodynamic asymmetry caused by m 3 U-based destabilizing modifications.

This five-year retrospective study was designed to investigate the species distribution, antifungal resistance patterns and clinical risk factors associated with Candida urinary tract infections, it is critical to guide the rational selection of antifungal agents and optimize clinical management strategies. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 229 cases of Candida UTIs diagnosed at the Third Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital between 2020 and 2024. Species distribution and antifungal susceptibility were evaluated using chi-square tests, while multivariate logistic regression was employed to identify independent risk factors. Results: 1. A total of 230 Candida strains were isolated from 229 patients (138 males and 91 females). The detection rate of C. albicans decreased from 47.06% in 2020 to 39.22% in 2024, with a corresponding rise in non- albicans species.2. Among the 199 strains tested for antifungal susceptibility, all isolates remained fully susceptible to amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine (0.00% resistance). In contrast, resistance to azole antifungals was notably higher. C. tropicalis exhibited significantly greater resistance to triazole agents compared to C. albicans (P< 0.05), while C. glabrata demonstrated a high resistance rate to itraconazole (44.00%), indicating a growing resistance concern. 3. Univariate analysis showed that hospital stays ≥ 14 days, urinary catheterization ≥ 7 days, and broad-spectrum antibiotic use were significantly associated with Candida UTIs (P< 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression identified prolonged hospitalization and catheterization as independent risk factors (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The increasing prevalence of non- Candida albicans species and rising azole resistance—particularly among Candida tropicalis —underscore the importance of routine species identification and antifungal susceptibility testing. Early urine culture screening and individualized antifungal selection are crucial, especially for patients with prolonged hospital stays or indwelling catheters, promoting the transition from empirical medication use to individualized treatment in clinical practice.

Therefore, combined heat and power (CHP) plants running on renewable fuels can play an important role in the energy transition by decarbonising a process, increasing the efficiency and capacity factor. Since 2003, Luxembourgish CHP plants have been transitioning from natural gas to biomass, mainly wood pellets. However, even though wood pellets are a renewable alternative, the market volatility in 2022 highlighted the vulnerability of a system reliant solely on one type of fuel. This study assesses the feasibility of using hydrogen to decarbonise a cogeneration plant powered by a natural gas-fuelled internal combustion engine. Although the technology to use hydrogen as a fuel for such systems already exists, a technical and economic analysis of implementing a hydrogen-ready plant is still lacking. Our results show that, from a technical perspective, retrofitting an existing power plant to operate with hydrogen is feasible, either by adapting or replacing the engine to accommodate hydrogen blends from 0 up to 100%. The costs of making the CHP plant hydrogen-ready vary depending on the scenario, ranging from a 20% increase for retrofitting to a 60% increase for engine replacement in the best-case scenarios. However, these values remain highly variable due to uncertainties associated with the ongoing technology development. From an economic standpoint, as of 2024, running the plant on hydrogen remains more expensive due to significant initial investments and higher fuel costs. Nevertheless, projections indicate that rising climate concerns, CO2 taxes, geopolitical factors, and the development of the hydrogen framework in the region—through projects such as MosaHYc and HY4Link—could accelerate the competitiveness of hydrogen, making it a more viable alternative to fossil-based solutions in the near future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17083369","authors":["Cláudia Ribeiro","Branca Arthur Delmonte","John Sliepen","Stefan Maas"],"tags":["Environmental science","Power station","Carbon fibers","Economic analysis","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17083369","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401871527","name":"Decarbonizing industry: Policy approaches to eliminate hard-to-abate emissions","source":"openalex","abstract":"Heavy industry remains among the hardest sectors to decarbonize while accounting for more than a fifth of all greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. Industrial emissions remain so challenging to mitigate largely due to the enormous scale and the diversity of production processes involved.

It is associated with higher mortality rates, prolonged hospital stays, increased utilization of medical resources, and financial burden on patients' families. This study aimed to establish and validate predictive models using machine learning algorithms to accurately predict the occurrence of AKI in patients diagnosed with sepsis. METHODS: This retrospective study utilized real observational data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. It included patients aged 18 to 90 years diagnosed with sepsis who were admitted to the ICU for the first time and had hospital stays exceeding 48 hours. Predictive models, employing various machine learning algorithms including Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), EXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Logistic Regression (LR), were developed. The dataset was randomly divided into training and test sets at a ratio of 4:1. RESULTS: A total of 10,575 sepsis patients were included in the analysis, of whom 8,575 (81.1%) developed AKI during hospitalization. A selection of 47 variables was utilized for model construction. The models derived from LightGBM, XGBoost, RF, DT, ANN, SVM, and LR achieved AUCs of 0.801, 0.773, 0.772, 0.737, 0.720, 0.765, and 0.776, respectively. Among these models, LightGBM demonstrated the most superior predictive performance.

Achieving rapid and deep emission reductions requires large-scale deployment of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), which is included as a critical component in all major net-zero pathways. However, the high cost of CO2 capture remains one of the most significant barriers to accelerating the adoption of CCUS. Among capture methods, solvent absorption is the most widely applied for post-combustion point-source emissions; however, it is highly energy-intensive, with over 80% of the total energy demand arising from solvent regeneration. Studies indicate that energy consumption accounts for around 40% of the operating cost of CO2 capture, highlighting the urgent need for energy-efficient regeneration strategies. This paper presents CO2CRC’s novel hybrid capture technology, which addresses the challenges of large footprint and energy consumption by significantly reducing solvent regeneration costs. This novel technology meets the challenges through lower regeneration temperatures, reduced steam consumption, elimination of solvent phase change during regeneration, and the potential integration of waste heat. Together, these innovations demonstrate a pathway to lowering capture costs and enabling broader deployment of CCUS in support of global decarbonisation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1071/ep25224","authors":["Jaikant Pandit","Kwong Soon Chan","Saw Hong Lim"],"tags":["Software deployment","Process engineering","Energy consumption","Greenhouse gas","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1071/ep25224","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4389264512","name":"Integrated genomics provides insights into the evolution of the polyphosphate accumulation trait of Ca.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin that exhibits brain toxicity, yet whether and how DON affects hippocampal neurogenesis remains unknown. Here, we use mouse hippocampal neuron cells (HT-22) as a model to illustrate the effects of DON on neuron proliferation and to explore underlying mechanisms. DON exposure significantly inhibits the proliferation of HT-22 cells, which is associated with an up-regulation of cell cycle inhibitor p21 at both mRNA and protein levels. Global and site-specific m6A methylation levels on the 3’UTR of p21 mRNA are significantly increased in response to DON treatment, whereas inhibition of m6A hypermethylation significantly alleviates DON-induced cell cycle arrest. Further mechanistic studies indicate that the m6A readers YTHDF1 and IGF2BP1 are responsible for m6A-mediated increase in p21 mRNA stability. Meanwhile, 3’UTR of E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM21 mRNA is also m6A hypermethylated, and another m6A reader YTHDF2 binds to the m6A sites, leading to decreased TRIM21 mRNA stability. Consequently, TRIM21 suppression impairs ubiquitin-mediated p21 protein degradation. Taken together, m6A-mediated upregulation of p21, at both post-transcriptional and post-translational levels, contributes to DON-induced inhibition of hippocampal neuron proliferation. These results may provide new insights for epigenetic therapy of neurodegenerative diseases. Graphical abstract DON inhibits the proliferation of HT-22 cells.

Multivariate analysis showed a significant difference in CR as a factor suppressing ADL decline after 1 year (adjusted odds ratios: 0.54, 95% confidence intervals: 0.36–0.82; p = 0.004). However, no significant difference in the CF scores was observed. Conclusion CR for older adults with HF eligible for long‐term care needs certification does not affect CF and may suppress ADL decline.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/jgf2.663","authors":["M.

Formate is increasingly recognized as a versatile and energy-dense platform molecule that can serve as a feedstock for microbial fermentation, energy storage, and sustainable chemical and fuel production. A key bottleneck in this value chain is the availability of cost-effective and scalable formate dehydrogenase (FDH), which catalyze the initial reduction of CO 2 to formate. However, little is known about the economic feasibility of producing and purifying FDH at industrial scale. In this study, we developed data-driven techno-economic models to assess the production cost of FDH in Methylorubrum extorquens (M. extorquens) using lab-scale data and projected outcomes across four scenarios: 1 L empirical, 5 L empirical, base, and optimistic. Our results show that the minimum selling price when using FDH as a crude protein preparation ranged from $2300/kg (1 L empirical) to $75/kg (optimistic), while the use of purified FDH resulted in costs ranging from $99,000/kg to $970/kg, respectively. Sensitivity analyses revealed that protein purity has the greatest influence on final production cost, with substrate and electricity costs also contributing significantly to the two empirical scenarios. These findings provide insight into cost bottlenecks and help identify engineering targets for scaling FDH enzyme production, supporting the development of CO 2 -to-formate technologies and the broader formate-based bioeconomy.

Tax credits are an important policy tool for supporting the early-stage deployment of emerging technologies as well as more mature technologies that have not yet reached widespread deployment. While existing federal tax credits have played an important role in enabling the deployment of several low-carbon technologies, including wind, solar, and electric vehicles, they also suffer from critical design deficiencies that make them less effective.

Female external urine wicking devices (FEUWDs) have emerged as potential alternatives to IUCs for incontinence management. OBJECTIVES: To assess the clinical risks and benefits of FEUWDs as alternatives to IUCs. METHODS: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, CINAHL Complete, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception to July 10, 2023. Included studies used FEUWDs as an intervention and reported measures of urinary tract infections and secondary outcomes related to incontinence management. RESULTS: Of 2,580 returned records, 50 were systematically reviewed. Meta-analyses assessed rates of indwelling CAUTIs and IUC utilization. Following FEUWD implementation, IUC utilization rates decreased 14% (RR = 0.86, 95% CI = [0.76, 0.97]) and indwelling CAUTI rates nonsignificantly decreased up to 32% (IRR = 0.68, 95% CI = [0.39, 1.17]). Limited only to studies that described protocols for implementation, the incidence rate of indwelling CAUTIs decreased significantly up to 54% (IRR = 0.46, 95% CI = [0.32, 0.66]). Secondary outcomes were reported less routinely. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, FEUWDs nonsignificantly reduced indwelling CAUTI rates, though reductions were significant among studies describing FEUWD implementation protocols. We recommend developing standard definitions for consistent reporting of non-indwelling CAUTI complications such as FEUWD-associated UTIs, skin injuries, and mobility-related complications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1017/ice.2024.73","authors":["N.

METHOD: A Markov model with a 30-year time horizon was employed to simulate and assess different treatment strategies' cost-effectiveness. The study population comprised Iranian adults with NVAF, identified through specialist consultations, hospital visits, and archival record reviews. Direct medical costs, direct nonmedical, and indirect costs were included. Quality-adjusted life years (QALY) were assessed using an EQ-5D questionnaire. This study utilized a cost-effectiveness threshold of $11 134 per QALY. RESULTS: Apixaban demonstrated superior cost-effectiveness compared to Rivaroxaban and Warfarin. Over 30 years, total costs were lower in the Apixaban and Rivaroxaban groups compared to the Warfarin group ($126.18 and $109.99 vs. $150.49). However, Apixaban showed higher total QALYs gained compared to others (0.134 vs. 0.133 and 0.116). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for comparing Apixaban to Warfarin was calculated at -1332.83 cost per QALY, below the threshold of $11 134, indicating Apixaban's cost-effectiveness. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the findings, with ICER consistently remaining below the threshold. Over 5 years (2024-2028) of Apixaban usage, the incremental cost starts at USD 70 250 296 in the first year and gradually rises to USD 71 770 662 in the fifth year. DSA and PSA were assessed to prove the robustness of the results.

DESIGN: A scoping literature review was conducted following the preferred reporting items for systematic and meta-analysis extension for the scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). DATA SOURCE/REVIEW METHOD: A literature search was conducted using the following electronic databases of studies published between January 2014 and the end of May 2024: The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PubMed and PsycInfo. Eligibility of the literature found in the three databases was screened using the PRISMA-ScR. The literature was reviewed using the framework by Arksey and O'Malley and further developed by Levac, Colquhoun and O'Brien. RESULTS: The review identified three main themes of STS, including personal history and support mechanisms, workplace influences affecting employee well-being and high-stress healthcare environments. CONCLUSION: The most significant source of risks associated with STS is related to the workplace influences affecting the well-being of a healthcare worker. The factors within this environment include increased workload and workplace demands, low job satisfaction levels and high job burnout levels. The main implications of this scoping review are the impact the workplace has on the development of STS and the potential ability employers and healthcare workers have to address the risk factors of STS. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: The problem addressed was secondary traumatic stress in healthcare workers. The main findings of the scoping review were the identification of secondary traumatic stress risk factors originating in the personal history and support mechanisms, workplace influences and high-stress environments within the healthcare structure. IMPACT: Due to the strong correlation between work environment and STS, healthcare employers must be aware of the influence the workplace has on the development of STS in employees. Healthcare workers can use the information from the scoping review to be aware of and identify the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors of STS and enact lifestyle and workplace actions to help address STS. The research will mainly impact healthcare workers, healthcare employers and patients within the healthcare system.

We apply the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) to model Guangxi’s power system to 2060 under four scenarios—Reference (BAS), Renewable-driven (RES), CCUS-intensive (CCS), and an Integrated comprehensive-policy scenario (ICS). Under ICS, solar photovoltaic generation rises from 38 TWh in 2025 to 408 TWh in 2060 (close to half of all generations), non-fossil capacity grows by about 730%, and power-sector CO2 falls by roughly 95% relative to BAS. A counterfactual decomposition shows that CCUS provides about 75% of the CO2 reduction along the coal-retaining CCS pathway but only about 5% along the renewables-led ICS pathway and reduces neither SO2 nor NOx. The air-quality co-benefits—up to 82%, 78%, and 73% lower SO2, NOx, and PM2.5 than BAS—arise mainly from renewable substitution, which also abates carbon more cheaply (about 120–190 versus 300 CNY t−1 CO2) while sharply raising flexibility needs. Once avoided fuel and carbon-market costs are included, the renewables-led pathways become net cost-saving on a full-system basis and yield a monetized air-quality health co-benefit roughly twice that of the CCUS-intensive route. The findings give policy-relevant guidance for sustainable low-carbon transitions in Guangxi and comparable emerging regions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18168074","authors":["Yongliang Luo","Yu Han","Biao Yang","Xuwen Zheng","Supannika Wattana","Buncha Wattana"],"tags":["Photovoltaic system","Flexibility (engineering)","Software deployment","Renewable energy","Scenario analysis"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18168074","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402364561","name":"Sustainability of hydrogen manufacturing: a review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Hydrogen is a highly versatile energy vector whose oxidation releases ‘green energy’.

This strategy not only contributes to long-term CO₂ sequestration but also supports domestic hydrocarbon production through improved oil recovery efficiency. By leveraging existing infrastructure and reservoir knowledge, atmospheric CO₂ injection into oil fields offers an economically viable pathway for reducing carbon footprints while extending the productive lifespan of mature reservoirs. This synergy between environmental stewardship and energy security is particularly critical for nations striving to meet both climate goals and growing energy demands.

The studies suggested that SHGs can improve SRH outcomes and reduce HIV vulnerabilities among FSWs by providing emotional and financial support, health education, linkage to care and social capital (i.e., benefits derived from association). The studies also highlighted the need for tailored interventions that address the unique needs and challenges faced by FSWs. This scoping review highlights the crucial contribution that SHGs make in promoting social cohesion, SRH and HIV outcomes among FSWs across seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa. To build resilience and facilitate better health outcomes, FSWs need to be empowered at individual, societal and resource levels through SHGs.

In this paper, we examine the ways the fossil fuel energy, plastics, and agrichemicals industries interact on social media using Twitter (renamed X as of 2023) data analysis, and we explore the implications of these interactions for policy. Content analysis of the text of tweets from the two largest US corporations and a major trade association for each sector (three discrete social media accounts for each sector) reveals coordinated messaging and identifies synergistic themes among these three sectors. Network analysis shows substantial engagement among the three sectors and identifies common external entities frequently mentioned in each sector. To understand the discursive strategies of the twitter networks of these three petrochemical derivative and fuel sectors, we propose the discourses of climate obstruction framework, adapted from and expanding on Lamb et al.’s (2020) discourses of climate delay framework. Our framework integrates both discourses of delay and discourses of denial because an integration of both were found in our analysis suggesting coordinated efforts to obstruct climate action. Our analysis suggests that discourses to deny and delay climate policy are aligned and coordinated across the three sectors to reinforce existing infrastructure and inhibit change. Exceptions in this alignment emerge for a few distinct sector-specific goals, including contrasting messages about biofuel.

In this article, we present a view of sustainable energy transformation based on a case study of Malta. We have created a simulation of a Maltese electricity system with projected growth and dominance of photovoltaic energy in the electricity market. The study results suggest that a system with a high penetration of photovoltaics has significant advantage over a conventional system using fossil fuels. In particular, in the simulated Maltese system, the total annual cost of energy was reduced threefold, the CO 2 emissions were reduced by 40%, and the energy independence of Malta increased by 60%. In the end, the article gives a recommendation for further research into the Maltese energy system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.2967","authors":["Marcin Pinczyński","Rafał Kasperowicz","Brian Azzopardi","Yuriy Bilan","Dalia Štreimikienė"],"tags":["Sustainability","Transition (genetics)","Transition management (governance)","Carbon fibers","Natural resource economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.2967","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412908022","name":"Microfluidic investigation of CO 2 foam flow in a heterogeneous porous medium","source":"openalex","abstract":"gas exhibited severe viscous fingering and early breakthrough.

There are two principal ways in which the balance of the global carbon cycle can be restored, firstly by decreasing anthropogenic CO2 emissions and secondly by increasing the rates of carbon sequestration. Even if emissions are successfully reduced to net zero over the coming decades, it will still be essential to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations to preindustrial levels. This can only be achieved by global-scale carbon sequestration of the order of gigatonnes (Gt) of CO2 annually. Over recent decades, engineering approaches have been proposed to tackle carbon sequestration. However, their technological effectiveness has yet to be demonstrated at a global scale, with even the most optimistic current values at less than 0.1 Gt CO2/yr, i.e., 50–100-fold less than required to meet IPCC targets for 2050. In contrast, biological carbon sequestration already operates as a proven global mechanism that also has the potential for increased effectiveness by harnessing high-yield tropical vegetation including perennial crops with sequestration values already exceeding 1 Gt CO2/yr. This review will contrast engineering and biological approaches to carbon sequestration with a particular focus on the potential for perennial crops, especially in the tropics. The major conclusions are that (i) the 2 Gt CO2/yr capacity of biological carbon sequestration already dwarfs that of all engineering approaches at 0.0013 Gt CO2/yr, (ii) biological sequestration is proven to operate at global scale, and (iii) compared to engineering approaches, it will be orders of magnitude less expensive to upscale further in the coming decades.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/crops5030039","authors":["Denis J.

Capturing ≥95% of the CO 2 stream lowers the carbon footprint to 6.59 kgCO 2 -eq/kgH 2 but raises the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) from $1.82/kgH 2 (no CO 2 capture) to $3.22/kgH 2; the U.S. 45Q tax credit reduces it to $2.59/kgH 2 .

The methodology is exemplified by the time‐lapse seismic monitoring of carbon dioxide at Farnsworth field unit (FWU). In order to evaluate the fluid distribution in a matured oil reservoir, the Southwest Regional Partnership (SWP) acquired multiple vertical seismic profile (VSP) surveys at different times during the CO2–water alternatinggas (WAG) injection period. In this work, we present a thorough methodology for computing the elastic response of the saturated rock for different fluid saturations using a site‐specific petro‐elastic model (PEM). The output from the PEM was combined with results from a fluid compositional model to compute the seismic velocities at times corresponding to each VSP survey. To produce a calibrated simulated response, the measured time‐lapse seismic velocities were integrated into the numerical simulation model. The mismatches between the predicted and measured time‐lapse velocities were minimized through an iterative calibration process using a trained artificial neural network proxy (ANN) coupled with a particle swarm optimizer (PSO). Our study indicates that the hybrid optimization workflow can effectively perform the history matching. With an accurate prediction of the hydrodynamic properties, the migration of CO2 within the subsurface was modeled by predicting the spatial velocity distribution for a radius of 305 m around the injection well.

Drawing on practice-based theories, the research aims to understand how managers strategize with CPA, including the balancing of financial and strategic objectives and the interplay of institutionalized practices with individual practitioners' actions. DESIGN: The study uses a qualitative, revelatory, and exploratory case study approach at the sub-organizational level in a manufacturing company. The researchers compare CPA practices across six departments, guided by a phenomenological research design. Data collection methods include informal conversations, qualitative observations, written documentation, numerical evidence from the accounting system, and interviews. FINDINGS: The study offers four novel findings to the field. First, it highlights how managers employ procedural and interactive strategizing to reframe CPA practices. The sophistication of CPA practices increases with unevenly distributed customer volume, high customer-specific, controllable overhead, customer-to-customer interaction, and service complexity. Conversely, the sophistication of cost-focused CPA practices tends to decrease with diverse strategic goals. Additionally, CPA become more effective through the utilization of non-financial information, employee empowerment, localization, and strategic alignment. Second, CPA can be adapted through integrative strategizing where managers avoid using it as a financial benchmark for strategic initiatives. Third, accountants actively seek intermediary roles to incorporate arguments from strategy and marketing to balance strategic objectives-contrary to their portrayal as myopic guardians of profitability. Fourth, the localization of CPA practices to front-line employees compensates for a lack of sophisticated CPA practices. FUTURE RESEARCH: Future research should, investigate the adaptation of calculative practices in different cultures, and industries. Exploring additional contextual factors such as uncertainty, management characteristics, and linguistic framing of practices would be beneficial. Examining the interactions in utilizing CPA practices between front-line staff and customers would shed light on their effectiveness. Lastly, investigating the role of consultants in diffusing such practices would offer valuable perspectives.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0296974","authors":["Rainer Lueg","Dima Ilieva"],"tags":["Profitability index","Sophistication","Business","Marketing","Strategic planning"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0296974","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W3134505953","name":"Drivers and mediators of healthcare workers’ anxiety in one of the most affected hospitals by COVID-19: a qualitative analysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"OBJECTIVE: To report the driving and mediating factors of healthcare workers' anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Then they suffered from severe anxiety and apprehension during the peak stage, regardless of whether they were infected with SARS-CoV-2 or not. These negative emotions were exacerbated by four drivers, namely infection risk, supplies, isolation and media. As the epidemic gradually came under control, healthcare workers experienced less anxiety from these factors, but became concerned about their low financial status. To reduce anxiety, healthcare workers diverted their attention from the risk of infection through personal entertainment and religious beliefs and focused on treating their patients. Furthermore, assistance from other people, including colleagues, families, friends, patients and society, helped protect healthcare workers from anxiety.

This approach achieves dual objectives of carbon storage and resource utilization. This study proposes a wet carbonation process for steel slag modified with ammonium chloride, aiming to achieve effective CO 2 sequestration while promoting the resource recovery of steel slag, thereby mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. The study first investigates the modification effect of ammonium chloride solution on steel slag, demonstrating significant improvements in its physicochemical properties, particularly in terms of reactivity and surface structure. Subsequently, a wet carbonation process is employed, and the effects of temperature, stirring speed, carbonation time, and liquid-to-solid ratio on the carbonation reaction are systematically examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and other characterization techniques. The carbonation products and CO 2 sequestration efficiency of the modified steel slag under these four factors are analyzed. Experimental results indicate that the primary mineral components of the modified steel slag are Ca 2 SiO 4, MgO, and CaO, confirming its potential as an industrial waste material with excellent CO 2 storage capacity. After carbonation, the main products are calcite-type calcium carbonate crystals and silica gel. Microstructural analysis reveals that the carbonated slag exhibits a denser and more compact structure, with reduced porosity and disordered aggregates of polyhedral crystals. Under optimized reaction conditions (60 °C, 30 min of CO 2 bubbling, liquid-to-solid ratio of 200 g/L, and stirring speed of 600 rpm), the modified steel slag achieves a maximum CO 2 sequestration efficiency of 32.2%, meaning that each kilogram of modified slag can mineralize and absorb 0.322 kg of CO 2 . These findings demonstrate the significant potential of the wet carbonation process for both steel slag recycling and CO 2 capture.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c06000","authors":["Guilin Li","Shaoqi Kong","Jiadong Guo","Haojie Xia","Kunjie Li","Gan Feng","Xudong Xu"],"tags":["Carbonation","Materials science","Carbon sequestration","Thermogravimetric analysis","Slag (welding)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c06000","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4399851613","name":"Chitosan decorated oleosomes loaded propranolol hydrochloride hydrogel repurposed for Candida albicans -vaginal infection","source":"openalex","abstract":"Aim: Our investigation aims to estimate the antifungal effect of propranolol hydrochloride (PNL).

These agreements often contain highly restrictive clauses that are designed to ensure stability of supply and demand, which makes them suitable for acquiring the project financing necessary for large capital-intensive energy projects. At the same time, these agreements create an important lock-in effect for the contracting parties. This article will examine the details of gas SPAs from the perspective of this lock-in effect.

While pipeline transport has dominated the conversation due to economic reasons, there is increasing evidence that other modes may become viable alternatives when considering scale, regional opportunities, and social acceptance. This paper assesses the viability of rail for CO2transport in the United States using market analysis, techno-economic assessment and geographic information systems mapping. We believe rail presents many advantages, notably in existing infrastructure with established right-of-ways, but also as an instrument to address unwanted effects of our energy transition, particularly in coal communities. We find that the strategic replacement of coal as a freight commodity could translate into 100 Mt/yr of CO2movement by rail by 2050, and support up to 60,000 jobs in that industry. Further, we find that while rail pricing is notoriously volatile, there is strong support for rail being the least cost option over pipeline for volumes under 2 Mt CO2per year, which aligns well with smaller, more risk-averse, and distributed carbon management projects that are scheduled to deploy over the next decade. Rail can also be an alternative in regions where CO2pipeline projects have had limited success, like in the Midwest, where CO2is captured from ethanol plants that are already serviced by rail networks. Likewise, rail can service roughly 25% of point-source CCS opportunities that are not proximal to projected trunk pipeline networks, of which 94% are located 1-mile from railroad. Finally, rail may be an integral part of CDR development in regions that are not coterminous with geologic storage, particularly in the Western and Northern US.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2023.1343085","authors":["Alina Ho","Diamantoula Giannopoulos","Hélène Pilorgé","Peter Psarras"],"tags":["Pipeline transport","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Scale (ratio)","Business","Environmental economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2023.1343085","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W3210893940","name":"Could a new Scottish CO 2 transport and storage industry deliver employment multiplier and other wider economy benefits to the UK economy?","source":"openalex","abstract":"In 2021, the UK Government commenced a ‘cluster sequencing’ initiative to identify early movers in delivering carbon transport and storage (T&S) services to proximate regional industry clusters with capture potential.

This is in terms of potential to transition and create new direct industry and supply chain jobs, set against risks of displacing jobs in different sectors and regions of the UK. We introduce a Scottish CO 2 T&S industry to a UK multi-sector economy-wide model, assessing the extent of potential expansion and job creation in the presence of supply-side and funding constraints. We find that large employment ‘multiplier’ gains registered in previous studies only apply over the very long term and in the absence of such constraints.

Therefore, as advancements in technology have enabled the realization of net-zero energy buildings, there has recently been a growing focus on research primarily aimed at reducing the embodied carbon (EC) of building materials. Assessment and calculation of EC emissions in buildings typically utilize life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies, evaluating both direct and indirect carbon emissions throughout all stages, from raw material extraction to end-of-life demolition. However, the substantial potential of carbon reduction within the material beyond life cycle stage in the building, which is the decisive process of closing the loop of circular economy, is often overlooked. This paper examines a large number of research cases on EC in buildings over the past 20 years, selectively identifying those including the benefits beyond life cycle of buildings. By conducting a case-by-case analysis of methods and tools employed for the assessment of circular practices, their respective strengths, weaknesses, and variances are evaluated. Following the normalization of EC in phase A-D, a significant research finding revealing that buildings can offset an average of -113.9 kg CO2e/m2 of carbon emissions through recycling and reuse in phase D, accounting for 16.85% of the total EC assessed in LCA. Steel recycling offsets the highest amount of carbon emissions, with an average number of -183.86 kg CO2e/m2. The objective of this paper is to identify the key factors that influence carbon emissions in the circular economy and to identify methods and tools for integrating building materials at the early design stage to minimize EC emissions throughout the entire lifecycle of buildings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202454601014","authors":["Yangxiaoxia Li","Gabriele Masera"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Circular economy","Demolition","Life-cycle assessment","Embodied energy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202454601014","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406799544","name":"Overview of the e-Fuels Market, Projects, and the State of the Art of Production Facilities","source":"openalex","abstract":"E-fuels, or synthetic fuels produced from green hydrogen and captured CO2, are a promising solution for achieving climate neutrality by replacing fossil fuels in transportation and industry.

Thus, reducing the carbon footprint of such buildings is critical for achieving a sustainable built environment. Reducing the amount of concrete and steel in a building through structural and mix design optimization is identified as a primary resource efficiency strategy. This paper is among the first to present evidence of the decarbonization potential of these dematerialization strategies on a building level. The study combines structural design choices such as slab system design, steel reinforcement optimization and span width with materials-based strategies, such as low binder concrete and low-carbon binders. For each scenario, material quantities are calculated following design prescriptions by EN1992–1–1 while state-of-the art life cycle inventory data are adopted to calculate the carbon footprint. Results show that shifting towards more efficient structural systems (i.e., waffle slab system) could save up to 20% of the carbon footprint on the building level compared to more traditional systems, such as slab on beams and flat slabs. In addition, reducing the spans from 7.5 to 5 m can save up to 20% more. Finally, the use of low-clinker cement in low-binder concrete can save another 50% in terms of CO 2 impact per built-up area. Realistically, results of the case study concluded that implementing these three strategies could reduce the typical 232 kg CO 2 e/m 2 value of the carbon footprint of structural elements of a mid-rise building up to only 58 kg CO 2 e/m 2 , i.e., a four-fold reduction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1617/s11527-024-02367-1","authors":["Hisham Hafez","Petar Bajić","Stanislav Aidarov","Xhemsi Malija","Michał Drewniok","Phil Purnell","Nikola Tošić"],"tags":["Solid mechanics","Parametric statistics","Civil engineering","Structural material","Structural engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1617/s11527-024-02367-1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402952152","name":"Misogyny and Gender Conflicts in South Korea","source":"openalex","abstract":"As a nation renowned for its economic miracles and technological advancements, South Korea – officially, the Republic of Korea – is simultaneously grappling with deeply rooted gender conflicts that reflect a broader societal struggle. Despite its rapid modernization, South Korea remains deeply influenced by Confucian traditions that have historically dictated rigid gender roles, resulting in the ongoing patriarchy and systemic marginalization of women in many aspects of their lives. These entrenched norms have given rise to pervasive misogyny, a significant social issue that continues to shape gender relations and provoke conflicts in contemporary Korean society.

However, planners must quantify the relative magnitude of the CO2 storage resource in these reservoirs to formulate a comprehensive strategy for CO2 mitigation. Even reconnaissance-type estimates of CO2 storage resources of known oil and gas reservoirs may require complicated calculations involving 1) estimates of recoverable oil and gas, 2) reservoir properties (depth, temperature, pressure, etc.), and 3) the physical qualities of the retained fluids. We demonstrate the application of machine learning (ML) algorithms to bypass these computations to yield more rapid estimates of CO2 storage resources in reservoirs capable of hosting CO2 in a supercritical state. ML algorithms are computationally efficient because they do not impose the strong assumptions on the data-generating process that standard statistical or engineering procedures require. Further, ML algorithms can capture highly complex, particularly nonlinear, relationships among predictor variables. We demonstrate the application of four different ML algorithms using data from onshore and offshore oil and gas reservoirs in Europe, and show they perform well when predictions are compared to engineering estimates. The proposed methods and models provide an effective and novel way to more rapidly and directly determine the subsurface CO2 storage capacity of oil and gas reservoirs around the world, information that operators, researchers, and policymakers alike require to meet energy transition and decarbonization goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2025.1562087","authors":["Emil D.

However, large inequalities in regional emissions within a country may hinder progress toward a carbon–neutral future, as the unequal distribution of reduction responsibilities among regions could impair just transition and exacerbate uneven development, which necessitates an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of multi-scale carbon inequalities within country, region, and city. Yet, the evolution of carbon inequalities within urban agglomerations and the differences between adjacent or distant urban agglomerations have not been well understood, especially in countries undergoing rapid urbanization. Using the data of 89 cities in China’s Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) during 2006–2021, this paper quantifies carbon emissions inequality (CEI) at different scales in a systematic regional-urban agglomeration-city hierarchical structure. Then, under the integrated mean logarithmic deviation-logarithmic mean Divisia index (MLD-LMDI) decomposition framework, multi-scale CEIs are perfectly decomposed into six interrelated drivers, i.e., industrial emission structure, energy emission intensity, industrial energy mix, energy intensity, industrial structure, and economic development. The results show that economic development, energy intensity, and industrial energy mix disparities are the main determinants accounting for CEIs at different scales. The decreasing CEI in YREB is mainly due to the changes in industrial structure and economic development, while the energy intensity effect partially hinders the mitigation of CEI. In the upper reaches of the YREB, the energy intensity effect accounts for over 94% growth of CEI during 2006–2021, while the decline in CEIs in middle and lower reaches is primarily caused by the effects of industrial energy mix and industrial structure, respectively. Further spatial decomposition analysis reveals more refined city-level heterogeneous effects and emphasizes the prioritized emission reduction direction for each city. This paper offers implications for reducing carbon inequality and insights into coordinated carbon emissions mitigation at the regional level for a carbon–neutral future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2024.112004","authors":["Bolin Yu","Zhenci Xu","Congcong Du","Jinghang Xu","Yuling Pan","Junfang Zhou","Yuli Shan"],"tags":["Urban agglomeration","Divisia index","Energy intensity","Urbanization","Theil index"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-12","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2024.112004","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407565469","name":"Structure Optimization of Power Systems with Renewable Energy Sources","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-83697-8","authors":["Artur Zaporozhets","Mykhailo Kulyk","Vitalii Babak","Viktor Denysov"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Power (physics)","Computer science","Environmental science","Electrical engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-83697-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4413024203","name":"Revisiting the Nexus Between Energy Consumption, Economic Growth, and CO2 Emissions in India and China: Insights from the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Model","source":"openalex","abstract":"Understanding how energy use and economic activity shape carbon emissions is pivotal for achieving global climate targets. This study quantifies the dynamic nexus between disaggregated energy consumption, economic growth, and CO2 emissions in India and China—two economies that together account for more than one-third of global emissions. Using annual data from 1990 to 2021, we implement Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks, which outperform traditional linear models in capturing nonlinearities and lagged effects. The dataset is split into training (1990–2013) and testing (2014–2021) intervals to ensure rigorous out-of-sample validation. Results reveal stark national differences. For India, coal, natural gas consumption, and economic growth are the strongest positive drivers of emissions, whereas renewable energy exerts a significant mitigating effect, and nuclear energy is negligible. In China, emissions are dominated by coal and petroleum use and by economic growth, while renewable and nuclear sources show weak, inconsistent impacts. We recommend retrofitting India’s coal- and gas-plants with carbon capture and storage, doubling clean-tech subsidies, and tripling annual solar-plus-storage auctions to displace fossil baseload. For China, priorities include ultra-supercritical upgrades with carbon capture, utilisation, and storage, green-bond-financed solar–wind buildouts, grid-scale storage deployments, and hydrogen-electric freight corridors.

The model learned from data collected from conventional diesel fuel experiments. Subsequently, we evaluated its ability to transfer by employing the parameters associated with waste cooking oil (WCO) biodiesel and its 60/40 diesel mixture. The machine learning model demonstrated exceptional proficiency in forecasting diesel mode (R2 > 0.95), effectively encapsulating both long-term trends and short-term fluctuations in fuel consumption and emissions across various load regimes. Upon the incorporation of WCO data, the model maintained its capacity to identify trends; however, it persistently overestimated emissions of CO, HC, and PN. This discrepancy arose primarily from the differing chemical composition of the fuel, particularly in terms of oxygen content and density. A significant correlation existed between indicators of incomplete combustion and the utilization of fuel. Nonetheless, NOx exhibited an inverse relationship with indicators of combustion efficiency. The findings indicate that the model possesses the capability to estimate emissions in real time, requiring only a modest amount of additional training to operate effectively with alternative fuels. This approach significantly diminishes the necessity for prolonged experimental endeavors, rendering it an invaluable asset for the formulation of fuel strategies and initiatives aimed at mitigating carbon emissions in maritime operations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/jmse13071328","authors":["Tadas Žvirblis","Kristina Čižiūnienė","Jonas Matijošius"],"tags":["Diesel fuel","Oil consumption","Environmental science","Diesel engine","Fuel efficiency"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/jmse13071328","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391611648","name":"Survival Outcomes of TAVR and Self-Expanding Versus Balloon-Expandable Valves in Patients with Advanced Cardiac Dysfunction","source":"openalex","abstract":"AIMS: There is a growing body of literature on long-term outcomes post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), but to our knowledge, few research have focused on patients with advanced cardiac dysfunction. This challenging category of patients was excluded from the Partner 3 clinical trial. There are no data to guide the choice of valve type in patients with severely depressed ejection fraction. This study evaluates the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of TAVR in patients with severe aortic stenosis and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35%. It compares post-TAVR survival outcomes with self-expanding (SEV) versus balloon-expandable (BEV) valves in the context of cardiac dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS: A retrospective cohort was conducted on 977 patients who underwent TAVR at Toulouse University Hospital between January 2016 and December 2020. The study population included two groups: LVEF ≤ 35% (N = 157) and LVEF ≥ 50% (N = 820). The group of LVEF ≤ 35% was divided into two subgroups according to the type of implanted device: self-expanding (N = 66) versus balloon-expandable (N = 91). The living status of each of study's participants was observed in December 2022. Patients with low ejection fraction were younger (82 vs. 84.6 years) and commonly males (71.3% vs. 45.6%). Procedural success was almost 98% in both study groups (97.5% vs. 97.9%). The prevalence of all in-hospital post-TAVR complications [acute kidney injury (3.8% vs. 2.2%), major bleeding events (2.5% vs. 3.2%), stroke (1.3% vs. 1.6%), pacemaker implantation (10.2% vs. 10.7%), major vascular complication (4.5% vs. 4.5%), new onset atrial fibrillation (3.2% vs. 3.4%), and in-hospital death (3.2% vs. 2.8%)] were similar between groups (LVEF ≤ 35% vs. LVEF ≥ 50%). No difference in long-term survival has been revealed over 3.4 years (P = 0.268). In patients with LVEF ≤ 35%, except for post-TAVR mean aortic gradient (7.8 ± 4.2 vs. 10.2 ± 3.6), baseline and procedural characteristics were comparable between SEV versus BEV subgroups. An early improvement in LVEF (from 29.2 ± 5.5 to 37.4 ± 10.8) was observed. In patients with LVEF ≤ 35%, the all-cause mortality rate was significantly higher in BEV than that in SEV subgroups, respectively (40.7% vs. 22.7%, P = 0.018). Kaplan-Meier curve showed better survival outcomes after SEV implantation (P = 0.032). A Cox regression identified BEV as independent predictor of mortality [HR = 3.276, 95% CI (1.520-7.060), P = 0.002]. CONCLUSIONS: In the setting of low LVEF, TAVR remains a safe and effective procedure not associated with an increased risk of complications and mortality. SEV implantation may likely result in superior survival outcomes in patients with advanced cardiac dysfunction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ehf2.14697","authors":["Anthony Matta","Thibault Lhermusier","Patrick Ohlmann","Levai Laszlo","Vanessa Nader","Francisco Campelo Parada","Meyer Elbaz","Jérôme Roncalli","Didier Carrié"],"tags":["Medicine","Ejection fraction","Valve replacement","Internal medicine","Cardiology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ehf2.14697","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4396722203","name":"Sex and gender-based analysis and diversity metric reporting in acute care trials published in high-impact journals: a systematic review","source":"openalex","abstract":"OBJECTIVE: To characterise sex and gender-based analysis (SGBA) and diversity metric reporting, representation of female/women participants in acute care trials and temporal changes in reporting before and after publication of the 2016 Sex and Gender Equity in Research guideline. DESIGN: Systematic review. DATA SOURCES: We searched MEDLINE for trials published in five leading medical journals in 2014, 2018 and 2020. STUDY SELECTION: Trials that enrolled acutely ill adults, compared two or more interventions and reported at least one clinical outcome. DATA ABSTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: 4 reviewers screened citations and 22 reviewers abstracted data, in duplicate. We compared reporting differences between intensive care unit (ICU) and cardiology trials. RESULTS: We included 88 trials (75 (85.2%) ICU and 13 (14.8%) cardiology) (n=111 428; 38 140 (34.2%) females/women). Of 23 (26.1%) trials that reported an SGBA, most used a forest plot (22 (95.7%)), were prespecified (21 (91.3%)) and reported a sex-by-intervention interaction with a significance test (19 (82.6%)). Discordant sex and gender terminology were found between headings and subheadings within baseline characteristics tables (17/32 (53.1%)) and between baseline characteristics tables and SGBA (4/23 (17.4%)). Only 25 acute care trials (28.4%) reported race or ethnicity. Participants were predominantly white (78.8%) and male/men (65.8%). No trial reported gendered-social factors. SGBA reporting and female/women representation did not improve temporally. Compared with ICU trials, cardiology trials reported significantly more SGBA (15/75 (20%) vs 8/13 (61.5%) p=0.005). CONCLUSIONS: Acute care trials in leading medical journals infrequently included SGBA, female/women and non-white trial participants, reported race or ethnicity and never reported gender-related factors. Substantial opportunity exists to improve SGBA and diversity metric reporting and recruitment of female/women participants in acute care trials.

This paper aims to evaluate the sustainability, fuel handling, and combustion characteristics of DME as a clean and efficient fuel for sustainable on-road transportation. Strategies toward integrating DME fuel for automotive applications are emphasized. An overview of DME production is provided with relevance to current industry practices. Thereafter, the chemical and physical properties of DME are highlighted. The handling challenges of DME are accentuated, and accordingly, recommendations are made for setting up fuel management systems applicable to on-road engines and research laboratories. The DME fueling configurations, e.g., port injection and direct injection, are summarized. Empirical tests studied the engine and emission performance of DME combustion.

Doing so quickly through a buildup of natural gas generating capacity as a replacement for coal-fired capacity can greatly aid in lowering near-term emissions towards the Agreement target to limit future climate impact to well below 2 °C but would incur stranded costs as natural gas assets are retired before their end-of-life age. The stranding of such capital investment may inhibit efforts to further decarbonize the world economy because of technology lock-in. One possible solution to reduce such stranded costs is to mitigate CO2 emissions from the existing coal-fleet. For the evaluation of the costs and emissions, we develop a novel method that uses unique coal-fired electric generating unit (EGU) characteristics to evaluate multiple mitigation-technology options under local fuel prices; the result of which is a least-cost mitigation frontier for nine EGU-specific mitigation solutions created within a common assessment framework. With this EGU-specific method, we find the mitigation options that achieve the lowest capital cost and levelized cost of electricity to meet CO2 emission-intensity reduction-targets for a representative EGU in the U.S. coal-fired fleet and use this method to analyze the uncertainty for these deterministic solutions. For this EGU, we find that the portfolio of mitigations defining the frontier is sensitive to fuel price variation, as well as other EGU-specific factors such as efficiency and retirement age. A probabilistic analysis of projected fuel prices indicates that mitigation decision-related regret can be high but may be limited to specific intensity targets. A further insight is that for deep CO2 mitigation, high capital costs and predominantly low natural gas prices may limit the viability of coal-fired EGUs retrofitted with carbon capture and storage with an auxiliary power system, even with a tax credit (e.g., Section 45Q of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2021.116599","authors":["Jeffrey J.

The second endpoint was the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or ischemia-driven revascularization at 12 months (MACE). RESULTS: From January 2018 to December 2022, we enrolled 258 patients (131 allocated to CR during in-hospital admission and 127 to an after-discharge CR). We found a significant reduction in the length of hospital stay in those assigned to after-discharge CR strategy [4 days (3-5) versus 7 days (5-9); p = 0.001]. At 12-month of follow-up, no differences were found in the occurrence of MACE, 7 (5.34%) patients in in-hospital CR and 4 (3.15%) in after-discharge CR strategy; (hazard ratio, 0.59; 95% confidence interval, 0.17 to 2.02; p = 0.397). CONCLUSIONS: In STEMI patients with MVD, an after-discharge CR strategy reduces the length of index hospitalization without an increased risk of MACE after 12 months of follow-up.

In the United States, a substantial portion of oil production relies on CO 2 -enhanced-oil-recovery (CO 2 -EOR), demonstrating a growing interest in using CO 2 to address various production challenges like condensate mitigation, pressure maintenance, and enhancing productivity in tight reservoirs. CO 2 injection introduces gases like natural gas and N 2 , either pre-existing or as impurities in the injected CO 2 gas. These gases alter the interaction of CO 2 with the oil or condensate in the reservoir, with interfacial tension playing a crucial role in governing miscibility, mobilization, and phase distribution. Effectively implementing gas injection techniques requires a precise understanding of interfacial tension between injected gases and reservoir fluid under reservoir conditions. This study aims to evaluate the effects of oil composition, gas composition, pressure, and, temperature on interfacial tension and provides a comprehensive understanding of IFT dynamics for CO 2 -EOR implementation. The study utilizes the pendant drop analysis technique to assess the impact of pressure, temperature, and gas composition on crude oil and condensate interfacial tension. Measurements span a range of temperature (30–85 o C), pressure (0.7–7 MPa), and mixture composition (CO 2 : N 2 ratios of 90:10 and 10:90), including pure CO 2 and N 2 with crude oil and condensate. Accurate measurement of interfacial tension incorporates changes in oil and gas density as functions of pressure and temperature. Results show that interfacial tension is significantly influenced by pressure, temperature, and gas composition. It decreases with increasing pressure at constant temperature and gas composition for both crude oil and condensate. While temperature-induced reductions in interfacial tension occur, they are overshadowed by the more pronounced effect of pressure. Gas composition significantly affects system interfacial tension; an increase in CO 2 mole fraction decreases it, while an increase in N 2 mole fraction causes an upturn. Changes in CO 2 mole fraction result in concave downward trends, whereas changes in N 2 mole fraction lead to concave upward trends. These findings are crucial for understanding the interaction of injected gas with reservoir fluid and can be applied to model interfacial tension with hydrocarbon fluid. This study offers an in-depth understanding of interfacial tension dynamics in CO 2 -EOR, a process that is increasingly attracting global attention for CO 2 utilization. The research stands out for its innovative experimentation and detailed analysis, which focus on evaluating the impact of individual parameters crucial for modeling. Additionally, it sheds light on the combined effects of these parameters, which are essential for practical field applications. This knowledge is instrumental in designing processes such as CO 2 -EOR and condensate banking, incorporating the effects of pressure, temperature, and gas composition at the reservoir scale.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-88333-5","authors":["Rahul Gajbhiye"],"tags":["Composition (language)","Surface tension","Dynamics (music)","Enhanced oil recovery","Tension (geology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-88333-5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410604311","name":"Geological–Engineering Synergistic Optimization of CO2 Flooding Well Patterns for Sweet Spot Development in Tight Oil Reservoirs","source":"openalex","abstract":"CO2 flooding technology has been established as a key technique that is both economically viable and environmentally sustainable, achieving enhanced oil recovery (EOR) while advancing CCUS objectives. This study addresses the challenge of optimizing CO2 flooding well patterns in tight oil reservoirs through a geological–engineering integrated approach. A semi-analytical model incorporating startup pressure gradients and miscible/immiscible two-phase flow was developed to dynamically adjust injection intensity. An effective driving coefficient model considering reservoir heterogeneity and fracture orientation was proposed to determine well pattern boundaries. Field data from Blocks A and B were used to validate the models, with the results indicating optimal injection intensities of 0.39 t/d/m and 0.63 t/d/m, respectively. Numerical simulations confirmed that inverted five-spot patterns with well spacings of 240 m (Block A) and 260 m (Block B) achieved the highest incremental oil production (3621.6 t/well and 4213.1 t/well) while reducing the gas channeling risk by 35–47%. The proposed methodology provides a robust framework for enhancing recovery efficiency in low-permeability reservoirs under varying geological conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17114751","authors":["Enhui Pei","Chao Xu","Chunsheng Wang"],"tags":["Sweet spot","Water flooding","Petroleum engineering","Tight gas","Flooding (psychology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17114751","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406001612","name":"Direct mineral carbonation of fly ash under high pressure using acid mine drainage: Effects of solid‐to‐liquid ratio, stirring speed and CO2 pressure","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract CO2 emissions contributing to global warming and waste related to energy generation using coal pose an issue in developing countries. Mineral carbonation (MC) of fly ash (FA) using acid mine drainage (AMD) can reduce CO2 and the negative environmental impact of FA including AMD from coal mining activity. The present study examined the direct carbonation (DC) of FA using pure water and AMD in a 600 mL autoclave pressure reactor. A preliminary study was conducted to observe the leaching behavior of FA in water and AMD. DC was conducted to determine the effect of solid‐to‐liquid ratio (0.2 and 0.5 g mL−1), stirring speed (100 and 400 rpm) and CO2 pressure (1–4 MPa) on the carbonation performance. The maximum calcium carbonate content in the carbonated FA was 4.33 wt% with a 60% conversion of calcium to CaCO3 for DC with pure water. The electricity required by the process was 18.9 kWh t−1‐CO2, corresponding to 0.019 t‐CO2 emitted t−1‐CO2 fixed in FA. DC using AMD was effective and the maximum CaCO3 content in FA was 6.68 wt%. This was due to the additional calcium content and enhanced calcium extraction provided by AMD. The actual CO2 uptake capacity was 29.4 g‐CO2 kg−1 fly ash. Studies on AMD as a reaction solvent for MC are few but can improve the carbonation performance of FA. Hence, the method can be viable for mining industries to mitigate negative environmental impacts and generate additional revenue through carbon credits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ep.14545","authors":["Sibulele Zide","Hsing‐Jung Ho","Atsushi Iizuka","Jochen Petersen","Viswanath R.K.

The concept of adequacy, traditionally focused on power capacity and generation, has broadened to include dimensions like flexibility and inertia. Against this backdrop, optimizing the integration of coal power and renewable energy to meet the system’s needs for adequacy, flexibility, and frequency stability has become a critical research area. This paper introduces the concept of “Generalized Adequacy”, expanding the traditional understanding of adequacy, and proposes an optimization model for the coordinated development of coal power and renewable energy based on this concept. This study examines the effects of extreme weather, renewable energy penetration, wind–solar ratios, and generalized adequacy constraints using a case study from a central region of China. The findings reveal that extreme weather conditions drive an increase in photovoltaic installations, while higher renewable energy penetration leads to more wind power installations. Accounting for generalized adequacy constraints can moderate the retirement of coal-fired plants, reducing unnecessary inertia support in normal conditions and ensuring dynamic frequency stability during extreme weather events.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app14177864","authors":["Hao Yue","Bingqing Wu","Shunxin Li","Zhang Yin","Jin Gao","Yi Zhou","Zijian Meng","Zhaoyuan Wu"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Coal","Environmental science","Engineering","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app14177864","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/14432471.2024.2395042","name":"SAGA 2024 flyer","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14432471.2024.2395042","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-27T03:53:20Z","doi":"10.1080/14432471.2024.2395042","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784485415","name":"IFCEE 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"Selected papers from the International Foundations Congress and Equipment Expo 2024, held in Dallas, Texas, May 7–10, 2024.

Following the election, there has been a marked decline in the operational engagement of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), a trend attributed to the renewed assertiveness of governmental control over state apparatuses.","url":"https://doi.org/10.57189/mgrinffeb24","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-09T16:38:51Z","doi":"10.57189/mgrinffeb24","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.26799/cp-composites-2024","name":"Composites 2024 International Conference Proceedings","source":"crossref","abstract":"During the processing of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites, surface defects such as in-plane fiber waviness and surface grooves can occur.These defects have a detrimental effect on the surface quality and mechanical performance of components.Quantifying the surface quality requires adequate measurement systems, which moreover help to investigate the relationship between processing parameters and critical quality attributes and ultimately optimize process conditions.We propose an optical measurement approach based on a monochrome line scan camera to analyze the surface of flat composite parts.The camera is mounted on a rail and moves horizontally at a constant speed over a fixed distance while scanning the subjacent component.The recorded images are analyzed using OrientationJ, a plugin for an image analysis software (ImageJ®), which can analyze the gradient tensor in a local neighborhood.In addition, the tool can be used to measure orientation and Isotropy properties of an image, including (i) standard deviation of orientation, which assesses fiber orientation variation, (ii) coherency, which determines the presence of a dominant direction in the local structure, (iii) and gradient energy, which measures region homogeneity.Using these metrics, we performed measurements of surface quality in various thermoplastic composite plates, including a polycarbonate/carbon fiber (PC/CF) plate, a PC/CF plate consolidated with a polyetherimide (PEI) foil, and a polyaryletherketone (PAEK) plate.Our study shows that the new measurement system can quantitatively assess surface defects and fiber waviness in thermoplastic composite plates in a non-destructive, quick, and effective manner.","url":"https://doi.org/10.26799/cp-composites-2024","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-28T22:20:16Z","doi":"10.26799/cp-composites-2024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.24867/mma-2024","name":"MMA 2024 – FLEXIBLE TECHNOLOGIES","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.24867/mma-2024","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-22T22:38:56Z","doi":"10.24867/mma-2024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784485330","name":"Geo-Congress 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1061/9780784485330","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-06T09:39:19Z","doi":"10.1061/9780784485330","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/globecom52923.2024.10900943","name":"GLOBECOM 2024 Authors Index","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/globecom52923.2024.10900943","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-11T17:30:35Z","doi":"10.1109/globecom52923.2024.10900943","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/sos-sd-109-00674","name":"9.11.5 Selenophenes (Update 2024)","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Methods for the synthesis of selenophenes are reviewed in this chapter, covering the period from 2011 to 2022.

The present study was conducted to examine the effects of two irrigation methods with different application rates on cotton (ST 4595B3XF variety) growth, irrigation water productivity, and fiber yield in Arizona. Five treatments, namely gravity drip (GD) with 100%, 80%, and 60% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and flood (F) with 100% and 80% of ETc (GD 100%, GD 80%, GD 60%, F100%, and F80%, respectively), were arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates during 2023. Deficit irrigation (DI) reduced cotton height and canopy cover with both GD and F irrigations. Compared with the F system, the enhanced vegetative growth resulted in a notable increase in total irrigation requirements, particularly evident in the GD 100% (1337.50 mm) and GD 80% (1106.60 mm). The highest fiber yield values of 1621 kg ha−1 and 1465 kg ha−1 were recorded under an irrigation rate of 100% ETc for both GD and F irrigation. However, decreasing irrigation rates to 80% and 60% ETc negatively affected fiber yield under the two irrigation systems. Improvement of irrigation water productivity (WPI), accompanied by saving irrigation water and a high fiber yield, could be obtained by shifting irrigation from the GD 100% (I = 1337.50 mm, WPI = 0.121 kg m−3) and F100% rates (I = 1162.00 mm, WPI = 0.125 kg m−3) toward the GD 80% rate (I =1106.60 mm, WPI = 0.130 kg m−3). The lowest micronaire (MIC) values were recorded under F 80 % and F 100% (4.36 and 4.97, respectively). The 100% treatment of F and GD showed higher fiber strength (STR) (29.51 and 28.29 HVI g tex−1, respectively). However, the upper half mean length (UHML), uniformity index (UI), and short fiber content (SFC) values showed a downward trend under both GD and F treatments, reflecting their correlation with the total applied water. Elongation at failure (ELO) was consistent among irrigation treatments. This study provides significant guidance for adopting DI strategies in cotton under semi-arid conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.13031/ana2024.2024","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-18T18:35:50Z","doi":"10.13031/ana2024.2024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23919/egg62010.2024","name":"2024 Electronics Goes Green 2024+ (EGG)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23919/egg62010.2024","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-22T18:06:16Z","doi":"10.23919/egg62010.2024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1596/42249","name":"Niger Economic Update 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/42249","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-17T02:30:11Z","doi":"10.1596/42249","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.46883/onc.2024.3807","name":"July 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.46883/onc.2024.3807","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-18T17:21:42Z","doi":"10.46883/onc.2024.3807","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5040/9781472863317","name":"Warship 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"The 2024 edition ofWarship, the celebrated annual publication featuring original research on the history, development, and service of the world's warships.

Additionally, the study seeks to understand the context in which innovation and linkage activities occur within the research system and highlight the importance of integrating such studies into academic institutions. Using this generic framework, public research centers (PRCs), in addition to identifying weaknesses in the development of capabilities at the organizational level, could determine the level of development at which their TCs are located to address social demands and promote collaboration models between university and industry. To achieve this objective, 228 surveys were carried out per stage among researchers from the PRCs in Mexico. Each stage was composed of one questionnaire. Questionnaire 1 considered aspects of investment capabilities, assimilation, modification, support, and linkage. Questionnaire 2 was used to collect data on scientific productivity based on evaluation criteria established by the National Council of Humanities, Sciences and Technologies (CONAHCyT). The aspects covered included infrastructure, scientific publications, intellectual property, postgraduate programs, and collaborative projects. The results indicate that the majority of Mexican PRCs have developed basic and intermediate TCs, with 77% involved in applied research and technological development, but from the total research projects, only 8% present higher levels of technological maturity. The originality of the study lies in the quantitative measurement of TCs within the Mexican PRCs for the benefit of innovative and high-performance work systems, addressing a gap in the existing literature, and could be extrapolated to other universities of developing countries.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17010122","authors":["Adela Eugenia Rodríguez-Salazar","Aidé Minerva Torres-Huerta","Ángeles Iveth Licona-Aguilar","Francisco Gutiérrez-Galicia","Margarita Josefina Hernández-Alvarado","Alejandra Nivón-Pellón","Miguel Antonio Domínguez-Crespo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-27T09:13:32Z","doi":"10.3390/su17010122","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59617/efepub2024149","name":"HEALTH &amp; SCIENCE 2024-III","source":"crossref","abstract":"CONTENTS/CHAPTERS AI IN MEDICINE: ADVANCEMENTS, APPLICATIONS, AND FUTURE PROSPECTS 7 Ozan Alper ALKOÇ, Faruk ALTINBAŞAK DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITALIZATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HABITS IN HEALTH SCIENCES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC 19 Mustafa Fatih ERKOÇ ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS IN MICROBIOLOGY 43 Emine YEŞİLYURT IMPORTANCE OF UGT AND CYP2C19 ENZYME POLYMORPHISMS ASSOCIATED WITH MYCOPHENOLIC ACID USED IN KIDNEY TRANSPLANT PATIENTS 69 Hayriye ŞENTÜRK ÇİFTÇİ HPV FACTS ADOLESCENTS NEED TO KNOW 81 Irmak Ceylin SÜRÜCÜ, Tuğba AKÇAOĞLU PSEUDOTUMOR CEREBRI 91 Hasan IDIZ PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY AND ITS APPLICATIONS 105 Irmak KARADUMAN ER, Sezen TEKİN A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF PET/CT IN ESOPHAGEAL CANCER 117 Gözde MUTEVELIZADE ADVANCED IMAGING TECHNIQUES FOR THE DETECTION AND DIAGNOSIS OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE 125 Esra AYAN CURRENT RADIOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO BRAIN INFARCTION 143 Mustafa Fatih ERKOÇ BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS OF EDGE ILLUMINATION X-RAY PHASE CONTRAST IMAGING 165 Didem GÖKBEL KEKLİKOĞLU, Ziya MERDAN RADIAL HEAD AND NECK FRACTURES IN CHILDREN 175 Musa ERGİN NURSING CARE FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH HEMATOLOGIC AND ALLERGIC PROBLEMS 185 Çiğdem Müge HAYLI, Döndü TUNA ŞANLITÜRK, Dilek DEMİR KÖSEM, Mehmet Zeki AVCI BEHAVIOR GUIDANCE IN PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY 207 Yıldız KONYA, Asu ÇAKIR, Tuğçe Nur ŞAHİN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ATTITUDES TOWARDS NUTRITION AND SLEEP QUALITY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING: A REVIEW STUDY 225 Gurbet BOZKURT AN ASSESMENT OF THE APPROACHES OF HOSPITAL PHARMACISTS ON RATIONAL DRUG USE IN ISTANBUL 235 Fırat KARA, Emel MATARACI KARA ECO-FRIENDLY PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS AND CURRENT ANALYTICAL APPLICATIONS 251 Zehra ÜSTÜN","url":"https://doi.org/10.59617/efepub2024149","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-25T11:09:19Z","doi":"10.59617/efepub2024149","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.068Z"},{"id":"doi:10.30923/230240811","name":"Informe de digitalización de las pymes 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"El Informe de digitalización de las pymes, presenta los datos de 2023, con el objetivo de ilustrar el progreso de la digitalización y la transformación digital mediante diversos indicadores, vinculados a la Década Digital.

We begin with a substantial section on Greek coinage. First, Marvin Kushnet provides a comprehensive synopsis of his dissertation in the form of a statistical analysis of archaic and classical coins and pottery from Cyprus, one of the most intriguing areas for numismatics in the entire ancient world. The second essay, also from Marvin, documents new die varieties from 5th century Selinus, exhibiting his wide range of expertise and keen eye. Next, we feature Vincenzo Marrazzo’s study of some new, early 5th century overstrikes noticed in the numismatic trade, a welcome addition that helps add further clarity to the dating scheme organized by Fischer-Bossert.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Moving to Hellenistic times, we have many terrific essays. First is an essay by first-time contributors Steluţa Marin and Virgil Ioniţǎ, concerning countermarked coins from the area west of the Black Sea, which carefully reconsiders the dating of certain key types. Next, we feature Catherine Lorber’s long-awaited formal publication of the Hamadan Hoard of 1977. We are very grateful to have Cathy contributing to our journal and especially with the publication of such an important part of numismatic history. Lloyd Taylor’s first (of three) essay appears next. It offers a comprehensive overview of the tetradrachms and didrachms of Sophytos, an important update to our knowledge of such coinage. Following that work is an essay by Lloyd and his co-author, Julian Wünsch, which catalogs the coinage of Andragoras, offering another important update to our knowledge of such coins and their larger context. This essay is followed by Dr Taylor’s final contribution detailing a modern Agathokles cupro-nickel forgery. The final Greek essay is by long-time contributor and numismatic giant David MacDonald, who offers an updated, comprehensive overview of Apollo/Three Nymph denarii of Apollonia Illyriae.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the Roman section we have two essays – first, an important reassessment of RRC 442 by Francesco Di Jorio, which convincingly argues we ought to view the iconography as a piece of propaganda. Following that essay, Jack Nurpetlian documents an interesting occurrence in which several coins that appear at first glance to be examples of brockage have a missing leaf on one side – a mystery indeed. In the next section on Oriental Numismatics we feature an essay by Bob Langnas that discusses an unconventional portrait attributed to Kamnaskires V. Finally, we have the important documentation of a new silver coin of the Gothic Kingdom in Italy and related types by long-time contributor Dirk Faltin.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Taken from the editor’s foreword&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;","url":"https://doi.org/10.32028/k.v7i","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-06T13:03:01Z","doi":"10.32028/k.v7i","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/milcom61039.2024.10773718","name":"Welcome to MILCOM 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/milcom61039.2024.10773718","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-06T18:47:40Z","doi":"10.1109/milcom61039.2024.10773718","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z"},{"id":"doi:10.33965/ciaca_ciawi2024","name":"ATAS DAS CONFERÊNCIAS IBERO-AMERICANAS Computação Aplicada 2024 e  WWW/Internet 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.33965/ciaca_ciawi2024","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-25T12:42:12Z","doi":"10.33965/ciaca_ciawi2024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784485842","name":"Geo-Structures 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"Proceedings of Geo-Structures 2024, held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, November 17–20, 2024.

The papers included in this book present an update on the engineering challenges in cold regions. Three main areas are covered: facilities, transportation, and resource development, with resource development being the broadest category. Most of the papers related to facilities and transportation are concerned with projects whose basic purpose is to develop the vast resources available in cold regions. Many of the papers deal with geotechnical engineering. This is understandable because the majority of engineering and construction in cold regions involve working with frozen ground. In the high Arctic or Antarctic, where there is continuous cold permafrost, designs usually preserve the frozen ground. The most difficult areas to work in, from an engineering and construction standpoint are the subarctic areas where deep active layers and discontinuous warm permafrost are found. In these regions, the challenge is to preserve facility or structure stability while foundation materials thaw and freeze.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1061/9780784485460","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-09T06:00:36Z","doi":"10.1061/9780784485460","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1515/sem-2024-frontmatter261","name":"Frontmatter","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/sem-2024-frontmatter261","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-31T07:24:12Z","doi":"10.1515/sem-2024-frontmatter261","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/ims40175.2024.10600358","name":"IMS 2024 Papers","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ims40175.2024.10600358","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-30T17:46:43Z","doi":"10.1109/ims40175.2024.10600358","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784485569.fm","name":"Front Matter for Pipelines 2024: Planning and Design","source":"crossref","abstract":"Front matter pages come before the papers or chapters in a published work.

The synthesis of these selenium analogues primarily involves incorporating selenium atoms into precursor molecules. This can be achieved by reducing elemental selenium to produce Se2– species, which are then introduced into electrophilic species. Alternatively, carbon nucleophiles can directly bond with elemental selenium, forming carbon–selenium bonds. Compounds containing a P=Se bond, such as Woollins’ reagent, are used to substitute the oxygen in a C=O bond with selenium, creating a C=Se bond. Carbon diselenide (CSe2) is another agent used in synthesizing these derivatives. However, extreme caution is required when handling CSe2 due to its potent odor and toxicity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/sos-sd-122-00194","authors":["T.

However, establishing such a correlation has proved to be significantly challenging in porous covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Structural defects or packing faults within the porous matrix, poor understanding of the crystalline assembly, and surface roughness are critical factors that contribute to this difficulty. In this regard, we have fabricated two distinct types of COF thin films by controlling the internal order and self-assembly of the same building blocks. Interestingly, the defect density and the nature of supramolecular interactions played a significant role in determining the corresponding thin films' stress-strain behavior. Thin films assembled from nanofibers (∼1-2 μm) underwent large deformation on the application of small external stress (Tp-Azo fiber film: E ≈ 1.46 GPa; H ≈ 23 MPa) due to weak internal forces. On the other hand, thin films threaded with nanospheres (∼600 nm) exhibit a much stiffer and harder mechanical response (Tp-Azo sphere film: E ≈ 15.3 GPa; H ≈ 66 MPa) due to strong covalent interactions and higher crystallinity. These porous COF films further exhibited a significant elastic recovery (∼80%), ideal for applications dealing with shock-resistant materials. This work provides in-depth insight into the fabrication of industrially relevant crystalline porous thin films and membranes by addressing the previously unanswered questions about the mechanical constraints in COFs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.0c11122","authors":["Kaushik Dey","Surojit Bhunia","Himadri Sekhar Sasmal","C.

In general, CH comprises clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS). It is an age-related phenomenon characterized by the presence of somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) that acquire a fitness advantage under selection pressure. Individuals with CHIP have an absolute risk of 0.5-1.0% per year for progressing to MDS or AML. Inflammation, smoking, cytotoxic therapy, and radiation can promote the process of clonal expansion and leukemic transformation. Of note, exposure to chemotherapy or radiation for patients with solid tumors or lymphomas can increase the risk of therapy-related MN. Beyond hematological malignancies, CH also serves as an independent risk factor for heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic kidney disease. Prognostic models such as the CH risk score and MN-prediction models can provide a framework for risk stratification and clinical management of CHIP/CCUS and identify high-risk individuals who may benefit from close surveillance.

Spliceosome gene mutations are found in 35% of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients and were described as being mutually exclusive with each other [ 3 , 4 ]. ZRSR2m is seen in 4% of MDS, and across different myeloid neoplasms (MN) including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) [ 1 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Damm et al. found that mutations in ZRSR2 were evenly distributed across the entire gene, and included nonsense, frameshift, and splice site mutations [ 1 , 2 ]. The only co-mutation that showed significant association with ZRSR2 was TET2 (p 5% (HR = 2.2, p = 0.02), and abnormal cytogenetics (HR = 1.9, p = 0.01) retained significance (Supplementary Table 10 ). Sequential NGS (S1-NGS) was performed in 55 out of the 164 patients (33.5%), 50 (91%) of them continued to have ZRSR2m . Out of the 21 patients who had HSCT, 4 (19%) performed sequential NGS post-transplant and all of them had negative NGS. mVAF for ZRSR2m was 80% and 89% for S1-NGS and S2-NGS, respectively, showing a statistically significant increase of 11% for S1-NGS from the first NGS (p = 0.01). Our study’s cohort had only 2 female patients, data by Daichi Inoue et al. suggest that ZRSR2 escapes from X inactivation and is not pathogenic in females at heterozygous state [ 2 , 12 ]. We also find that MDS patients with ZRSR2 mutations have better survival, indicating a favorable prognosis. Our study found a notable association between ZRSR2m and a higher incidence of CCUS diagnoses, which is a novel finding. Our findings suggest that the ZRSR2m mutation carries a favorable prognosis among MNs, especially in isolated TET2m group. Our findings clinically support Madan et al. findings as we found that over half of the ZRSR2m MDS and CCUS cohort had elevated absolute monocyte count ( ≥ 0.5 ×10 9 /L), majority of MDS/MPN overlap patients were diagnosed as CMML, and about 8% of patients originally diagnosed as CCUS, MDS or MPN progressed or were re-diagnosed as CMML later [ 10 ]. Interestingly, MPN was found in 20% of ZRSR2m patients and consisted mainly of MF, which raises the possibility of acquiring ZRSR2m later in MPN progression into MF. Our study demonstrated a strong association between ZRSR2m and TET2m (51% of patients) and that the presence of TET2 m as an isolated co-mutation was shown to be associated with longer survival and a higher prevalence among MDS/MPN overlap patients. Other studies reported enrichment of ZRSR2 in spliceosome mutated cases and our paper supports this (10.4% of our ZRSR2m MN patients had either U2AF1 (5.5%) or SRSF2 (4.9%)) [ 3 , 13 ]. Survival among ZRSR2m MN patients was affected mostly by the MN diagnosis (AML showing worst survival) and expectedly by PB blasts >5%. Other factors that affected survival positively were higher Hgb concentration and the presence of isolated TET2m . On the contrary, presence of RUNX1m and cytogenetic abnormalities affected survival negatively. Our study was limited by data collection from a single institution, the retrospective nature, shorter follow-up duration, small cohort size (due to gene rarity), and delayed NGS introduction in some cases. Furthermore, our focus was on clinical aspects of this mutation and lacked mechanistic insights into this disease. In conclusion, the ZRSR2m was almost exclusively seen in males, with a striking increased frequency of CCUS patients. TET2m was the most common co-mutation and is linked to better survival especially as an isolated co-mutation. Over half of the patients with ZRSR2m MDS and CCUS had a higher absolute monocyte count indicating a possible association with monocytic differentiation. However, further studies are needed to confirm these findings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41375-024-02374-9","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1038/s41375-024-02374-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1111/his.15339","name":"Can molecular patterns help to classify overlapping entities in myeloid neoplasms?","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Myeloid neoplasms include myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic neoplasms and acute myeloid leukaemia. Historically, these diseases have been diagnosed based on clinicopathological features with sometimes arbitrary thresholds that have persisted even as molecular features were gradually incorporated into their classification. As such, although current diagnostic approaches can classify the majority of myeloid neoplasms accurately using a combination of molecular and clinicopathological features, some areas of overlap persist and occasionally pose diagnostic challenges. These include overlap across BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms; between clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance and myelodysplastic neoplasms; myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms; and, detection of KIT mutations in myeloid neoplasms other than mastocytosis, raising the prospect of systemic mastocytosis. Molecular testing has become state of the art in the diagnostic work-up of myeloid neoplasms, and molecular patterns can inherently help to classify overlapping entities if considered within a framework of haematological presentations. For future development, molecular testing will likely include whole genome and transcriptome sequencing, and primarily molecular classifications of myeloid neoplasms have already been suggested. As such, genetically defined groups should still constitute the basis for our understanding of disease development from early onset to progression, while clinicopathological features could then be used to describe the stage of the disease rather than the specific type of myeloid neoplasm.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/his.15339","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1111/his.15339","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1053/j.seminhematol.2024.09.005","name":"Inflammation in myelodysplastic syndrome pathogenesis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Inflammation is a key driver of the progression of preleukemic myeloid conditions, such as clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS), to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

CCUS is defined as clonal hematopoiesis (CH) in the presence of unexplained, persistent cytopenia requiring detection of either somatic mutations in certain genes or clonal chromosomal abnormalities. Discriminating CCUS from MDS primarily relies on morphologic bone marrow (BM) dysplasia. However, morphologic criteria are affected by their subjective evaluation and restricted in some cases due to sample quality [ 2 ]. The current Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) for MDS is based on clinical variables and cytogenetic aberrations [ 3 ], while more recently cytogenetic and molecular genetic data are integrated with clinical parameters into the Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-M) [ 4 ]. The progression risk from CCUS to a myeloid neoplasm (MN) is highly variable [ 2 , 5 , 6 , 7 ] and depends on various factors such as clone size [ 8 ] or number and type of mutations [ 5 , 9 ]. Thus, models predicting the progression risk in patients with CH were developed, which include besides gene mutations also blood values and various additional parameters (clonal hematopoiesis risk score/CHRS; MN-predict) [ 10 , 11 ]. However, the strict discrimination of different prognostic systems neglects the continuous development from myeloid precursor lesions to overt MN. Hence, comprehensive genomic studies on the continuum of CCUS and MDS patients are needed to elucidate their underlying molecular heterogeneity and genetic spectrum. Thus, we analyzed 222 CCUS cases (age: 76 years [26–93]; female: 33%) and 698 MDS cases (age: 73 years [23–93]; female: 43%; Supplementary Table S1 ). Diagnoses were made following WHO HAEM5 based on cytomorphology, cytogenetics and molecular genetics; in addition WGS and WTS analyses were performed for all patients (for details see Supplement). The IPSS-R, IPSS-M and CHRS were calculated as previously published [ 3 , 4 , 10 ]. Details on statistics are provided in the Supplementary Methods. All patients had given written informed consent to the use of genetic and clinical data, the study was conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the internal review board. CCUS patients were older, had higher WBC counts, lower PLT counts, higher HB, less BM blasts and were more predominantly male compared to MDS patients (all p < 0.05; Supplementary Table S1 ; Supplementary Figs. S1 /S 2 ). Isolated cytopenia was significantly more and pancytopenia less frequent in CCUS than in MDS. The observed differences between CCUS and MDS in terms of the number and types of cytopenias are consistent with other published cohorts [ 2 , 5 , 12 ], which indicate a correlation between BM abnormalities and the severity of cytopenia. Three hundred and fifty-six somatic mutations were found within the entire CCUS cohort, with 351 mutations detected in 28 CH genes (Fig. 1A ; Supplementary Table S2 ; Supplementary Fig. S3 /S 4 ). Overall, CCUS patients had fewer CH mutations per patient compared to MDS ( p < 0.001; Fig. 1A ) comparable to a previous study [ 2 ]. It was further shown that in MDS, the number of mutations increases with the number of BM blasts and the severity of the disease [ 4 ]. CCUS patients most frequently harbored mutations in DNMT3A (32%), TET2 (28%) and ASXL1 (14%) followed by mutations in splicing factor genes and TP53 (Fig. 1B/C ; Supplementary Fig. S4 ). Overall, mutations in DNMT3A and PPM1D were more frequent in CCUS than in MDS while mutations in ASXL1, TP53, SF3B1, STAG2, RUNX1, NRAS, CUX1 were less frequent in CCUS (each p < 0.05; Fig. 1B ; Supplementary Table S2 ). The respective variant allele frequencies (VAF) and the association with blood count alterations are described in the Supplement. In addition, multi-hit TP53 cases ( n = 2; TP53 VAF: 5% + 3%; 25% + 18%) were less frequent in CCUS compared to MDS ( p = 0.027; Supplementary Table S3 ). Of note, neither deletions nor CN-LOH involving TP53 were detected in multi-hit TP53 CCUS in contrast to MDS. However, 9 recurrent CN-LOH (4q: n = 4, of which 3 included TET2 ; 7q: n = 5, of which 2 included EZH2 ) were observed in the CCUS cohort. In addition to the influence of the number and type of mutations on the risk of survival and progression in CCUS and MDS patients [ 2 , 4 , 5 , 10 , 11 ], Gao et al. demonstrated that chromosomal alterations influence disease progression in CHIP/CCUS independently of the other parameters [ 9 ]. Cytogenetic abnormalities were detected in 27% of CCUS and 43% of MDS patients ( p < 0.001) with loss of chromosome Y (Y-loss) being the most common (Supplementary Results; Supplementary Fig. S7 ). Y-loss was more frequent in CCUS than in MDS (males: 26% vs. 9%; p < 0.001), while complex karyotypes and del(5q) were more frequent in MDS (both p < 0.001; Fig. 2A ; Supplementary Fig. S7 ). This is consistent with the fact that Y-loss is described as the most common acquired cytogenetic alteration in aging males that is not associated with progression to MN [ 13 ]. MDS patients frequently had both mutations and chromosomal aberrations (37%), while only 14% of CCUS patients had both types of aberrations ( p < 0.001; Suppl. Results; Supplementary Fig. S9 ). The co-occurrence of chromosomal alterations and mutations were also reported to be rare in myeloid CH cases [ 9 , 14 ] while the combination of both types of aberrations is substantially more frequent in overt MN.

Full size image Applying the IPSS-R cytogenetic risk groups, 92% of CCUS patients were assigned into the very good or good cytogenetic risk group (MDS: 79%; Fig. 2A ; Supplementary Table S1 /Fig. S11 ). The final IPSS-R categories showed significant differences in all categories between CCUS and MDS (Supplementary Table S1 ; Fig. 2B ). Also the IPSS-M categories showed a clear skewing towards low risk categories in CCUS (Fig. 2C ; Supplementary Fig. S12 ). In the entire CCUS cohort, only 5 cases (2%) were assigned to IPSS-M high or very high risk groups harboring a median number of 4 mutations and including both multi-hit TP53 patients. This skewing towards lower risk categories is plausible, was also recently described in another CCUS cohort [ 15 ], and partly reflects the fact that patients with increased blasts are by definition excluded from the CCUS category. Nevertheless, some CCUS patients were categorized as IPSS-M high risk, suggesting that the IPSS-M may also be applicable in CCUS. Finally, in an exploratory analysis, we asked whether the risk categories lead to a meaningful survival prediction in CCUS patients (Supplementary Fig. S13 / Table S7 ). During the relatively short period of observation, IPSS-R risk stratification did not show a significant overall survival (OS) difference between very low/low and the remaining cases (Supplementary Fig. S13B ), while IPSS-M showed a trend to differentiate OS between very low/low and the remaining CCUS patients ( p = 0.059; Supplementary Fig. S13C, D ) roughly comparable to that of MDS patients in the respective risk groups. This is consistent with a previous study [ 6 ] that demonstrated clinical and molecular overlap between CCUS and low risk MDS patients. In summary, despite the relatively short 1.5 years median follow-up and the underrepresentation of moderate and high risk cases in the CCUS cohort, survival data of CCUS patients stratified according to the IPSS-M seem meaningful. For a subset of cases, we also calculated the CHRS. In contrast to IPSS-R and IPSS-M, distribution of CHRS categories was more evenly (Supplementary Table S7 ). No significant differences in OS of the CCUS cohort stratified for CHRS groups were observed which might be due to missing values and thus the inability for precise grouping and due to small sample sizes (Supplementary Fig. S13E, F ). For a small subset of patients, multiple samples were taken during disease course (Suppl. Results). In line with other studies [ 10 , 11 ], we also observed that a proportion of CCUS patients progressed to an overt MN. Interestingly, progressing patients more frequently harbored ASXL1 mutations than non-progressing patients ( p = 0.035). However, ASXL1 mutations are not regarded in the CHRS, also not considering cytogenetic abnormalities and types of cytopenias. The current risk scores (IPSS-R [ 3 ], IPSS-M [ 4 ], CHRS [ 10 ], MN-predict [ 11 ]) were developed either to determine the risk of progression from CH to MN or from MDS to AML and thus do not take the biological continuum into account. So far, the distinction between CCUS and MDS must first be made on the basis of the rather subjective assessment of BM dysplasia, and then the corresponding risk score can be applied. Limitations of our study include the retrospective design, the low number of patients with complete clinical data and the relatively short median follow-up of the CCUS cohort. Thus, additional prospective studies on CCUS patients are needed to validate our observations. In summary, our data confirm the comparable mutational spectrum between CCUS and MDS reflecting the biological continuum but clearly show major differences in the frequency and VAF of distinct gene mutations. These biological differences hint towards different subgroups within CCUS with cases closer to MDS than others. A combined and easy-applicable risk score for MDS and CCUS would reflect this continuous spectrum and has the potential to derive an objective risk assessment irrespective of observer-dependent grading of dysplasia.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41375-024-02273-z","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1038/s41375-024-02273-z","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1111/apm.13486","name":"Localized blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm associated with progressive clonal hematopoiesis and myelodysplastic syndrome.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Clonal hematopoiesis is highly prevalent in elderly patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), and around 20% of BPDCN patients have an associated myeloid malignancy.

An array of organic molecule oxidation reactions, operational at a relatively low potential, have been explored as a substitute for the OER. Glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR) has emerged as a leading alternative in this context because glycerol, a waste of biodiesel manufacturing, has become ubiquitous and accessible due to the significant growth in the biodiesel sector in recent decades. Additionally, the GOR generates several value-added organic compounds following oxidation that enhance the cost viability of the overall electrolysis reaction. In this study, a low-cost, room temperature operable, and energy-efficient synthetic methodology has been developed to generate unique two-dimensional CuO nanosheets (CuO NS). This CuO NS material was embedded on a carbon paper electrode, which showcased excellent glycerol electro-oxidation performance operational at a moderately low applied potential. Formic acid is the major product of this CuO NS-driven GOR (Faradaic efficiency ~80 %), as it is formed primarily via the glyceraldehyde oxidation pathway. This CuO NS material was also active for oxidizing other abundant alcohols like ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol, albeit at a relatively poor efficiency.

Notably, CCUS carries a risk of progressing to MN, particularly in cases featuring high-risk mutations. Understanding CCUS requires dedicated studies to elucidate its risk factors and natural history. Our analysis of 357 patients with CCUS investigated the interplay between clonality, cytopenia, and prognosis. Multivariate analysis identified 3 key adverse prognostic factors: the presence of splicing mutation(s) (score = 2 points), platelet count of <100 × 109/L (score = 2.5), and ≥2 mutations (score = 3). Variable scores were based on the coefficients from the Cox proportional hazards model. This led to the development of the clonal cytopenia risk score (CCRS), which stratified patients into low- (score of <2.5 points), intermediate- (score of 2.5 to <5), and high-risk (score of ≥5) groups. The CCRS effectively predicted 2-year cumulative incidence of MN for low- (6.4%), intermediate- (14.1%), and high-risk (37.2%) groups, respectively, by the Gray test (P < .0001). We further validated the CCRS by applying it to an independent CCUS cohort of 104 patients, demonstrating a c-index of 0.64 (P = .005) in stratifying the cumulative incidence of MN. Our study underscores the importance of integrating clinical and molecular data to assess the risk of CCUS progression, making the CCRS a valuable tool that is practical and easily calculable. These findings are clinically relevant, shaping the management strategies for CCUS and informing future clinical trial designs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1182/blood.2024024756","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1182/blood.2024024756","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.accounts.4c00418","name":"Electrocatalytic Conversion of CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; to Formic Acid: A Journey from 3d-Transition Metal-Based Molecular Catalyst Design to Electrolyzer Assembly.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"ConspectusElectrochemical CO 2 reduction to obtain formate or formic acid is receiving significant attention as a method to combat the global warming crisis. Significant efforts have been devoted to the advancement of CO 2 reduction techniques over the past few decades. This Account provides a unified discussion on various electrochemical methodologies for CO 2 to formate conversion, with a particular focus on recent advancements in utilizing 3d-transition-metal-based molecular catalysts. This Account primarily focuses on understanding molecular functions and mechanisms under homogeneous conditions, which is essential for assessing the optimized reaction conditions for molecular catalysts. The unique architectural features of the formate dehydrogenase (FDH) enzyme provide insight into the key role of the surrounding protein scaffold in modulating the active site dynamics for stabilizing the key metal-bound CO 2 intermediate. Additionally, the protein moiety also triggers a facile proton relay around the active site to drive electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction forward. The fine-tuning of FDH machinery also ensures that the electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction leads to the production of formic acid as the major yield without any other carbonaceous products, while limiting the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction. These lessons from the enzymes are key in designing biomimetic molecular catalysts, primarily based on multidentate ligand scaffolds containing peripheral proton relays. The subtle modifications of the ligand framework ensure the favored production of formic acid following electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction in the solution phase. Next, the molecular catalysts are required to be mounted on robust electroactive surfaces to develop their corresponding heterogeneous versions. The surface-immobilization provides an edge to the molecular electrocatalysts as their reactivity can be scaled up with improved durability for long-term electrocatalysis. Despite challenges in developing high-performance, selective catalysts for the CO 2 to formic acid transformation, significant progress is being made with the tactical use of graphene and carbon nanotube-based materials. To date, the majority of the research activity stops here, as the development of an operational CO 2 to formic acid converting electrolyzer prototype still remains in its infancy. To elaborate on the potential future steps, this Account covers the design, scaling parameters, and existing challenges of assembling large-scale electrolyzers. A short glimpse at the utilization of electrolyzers for industrial-scale CO 2 reduction is also provided here. The proper evaluation of the surface-immobilized electrocatalysts assembled in an electrolyzer is a key step for gauging their potential for practical viability. Here, the key electrochemical parameters and their expected values for industrial-scale electrolyzers have been discussed. Finally, the techno-economic aspects of the electrolyzer setup are summarized, completing the journey from tactical design of molecular catalysts to their appropriate application in a commercially viable electrolyzer setup for CO 2 to formate electroreduction.

Here, we give an overview of the spectrum of CH driver mutations, what is known about their pathophysiology, and how this informs the risk of incident myeloid malignancy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1172/jci180065","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1172/jci180065","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-024-67968-w","name":"Potential assessment of CO<sub>2</sub> source/sink and its matching research during CCS process of deep unworkable seam.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"It is of great significance for the engineering popularization of CO 2 -ECBM technology to evaluate the potential of CCUS source and sink and study the matching of pipeline network of deep unworkable seam. In this study, the deep unworkable seam was taken as the research object. Firstly, the evaluation method of CO 2 storage potential in deep unworkable seam was discussed. Secondly, the CO 2 storage potential was analyzed. Then, the matching research of CO 2 source and sink was carried out, and the pipe network design was optimized. Finally, suggestions for the design of pipe network are put forward from the perspective of time and space scale. The results show that the average annual CO 2 emissions of coal-fired power plants vary greatly, and the total emissions are 58.76 million tons. The CO 2 storage potential in deep unworkable seam is huge with a total amount of 762 million tons, which can store CO 2 for 12.97 years. During the 10-year period, the deep unworkable seam can store 587.6 million tons of CO 2 , and the cumulative length of pipeline is 251.61 km with requiring a cumulative capital of $ 4.26 × 10 10 . In the process of CO 2 source-sink matching, the cumulative saving mileage of carbon sink is 98.75 km, and the cumulative saving cost is $ 25.669 billion with accounting for 39.25% and 60.26% of the total mileage and cost, respectively. Based on the three-step approach, the whole line of CO 2 source and sink in Huainan coalfield can be completed by stages and regions, and all CO 2 transportation and storage can be realized. CO 2 pipelines include gas collection and distribution branch lines, intra-regional trunk lines, and interregional trunk lines. Based on the reasonable layout of CO 2 pipelines, a variety of CCS applications can be simultaneously carried out, intra-regional and inter-regional CO 2 transport network demonstrations can be built, and integrated business models of CO 2 transport and storage can be simultaneously built on land and sea. The research results can provide reference for the evaluation of CO 2 sequestration potential of China's coal bases, and lay a foundation for the deployment of CCUS clusters.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-67968-w","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1038/s41598-024-67968-w","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ese.2025.100546","name":"Global readiness for carbon neutrality: From targets to action.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"The global push for carbon neutrality highlights the need for rigorous assessments of whether national efforts align with stated targets.

In order to adapt pediatric care to the patient-family binomial and guarantee its quality, the evaluation of the needs perceived by family members during hospital stay is becoming increasingly relevant. Objective To determine the perception of the needs of the relatives of patients admitted to the Pediatric Critical Care Units (PCCU) in a tertiary level hospital. Methods Cross-sectional descriptive observational quantitative study was run through the distribution of the modified version of the Critical Care Family Needs Inventory (CCFNI). Population Parents or legal caregivers of patients admitted to two CCUs with >48 h stay between September 2023 and January 2024. Descriptive analysis, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed. Results Eighty-four questionnaires were completed. The median total score on the questionnaire was 15.00, corresponding to a high perception of fulfillment of needs. The subscale with the highest degree of compliance of the needs was \"Patient care\" (3.00), followed by \"Information and communication\" (3.00) and \"Family care\" (4.50); the subscale \"Possible perceived improvements\" (4.50) was the one with the worst results. Statistically significant differences were found when comparing the total score between units (p = 0.046) and according to the type of room (p = 0.016) and the educational level of the relatives (p = 0.049). No significant differences were found during the analysis of the remaining variables. Conclusions The findings suggest that the hospital environment, specifically type of room, have a significant impact on the perception of family members' needs fulfillment. It is considered essential to adapt pediatric critical care units in order to suit today's family-centered care approach.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enfie.2025.500557","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1016/j.enfie.2025.500557","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1111/bjh.19423","name":"Natural history of clonal haematopoiesis seen in real-world haematology settings.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Recursive partitioning of healthy consortia led to the development of the Clonal Hematopoiesis Risk Score (CHRS) for clonal haematopoiesis (CH); however, in the practical setting, most cases of CH are diagnosed after patients present with cytopenias or related symptoms.

In this work, we studied the feasibility of CO 2 foam for co-optimizing enhanced oil recovery and CO 2 storage in a high-salinity carbonate formation. The simulated hydrodynamic model is a depleted formation containing 30% residual oil, with three mechanisms for CO 2 storage: solubility, residual, and mineralization trapping mechanisms. The results showed that after 20 years, oil recovery during foam injection was 2.7 times higher than CO 2 injection, and the CO 2 stored during foam flooding was 38% higher than CO 2 injection. Notably, foam injection also increased CO 2 storage capacity by 2.6 times, indicating the potential to store around 2 gigatons of CO 2 in the simulated model. This was attributed to the ability of foam to significantly reduce gas mobility and thus form isolated bubbles through its Jamin effect. Residual trapping was the dominant trapping mechanism, contributing to over 70% of the total CO 2 trapped, attributed to the reduction in the dissolution of CO 2 in brine due to the high salinity of the aqueous medium. CO 2 mineralization was also studied, showing the least trapping efficiency and the dissolution trend of all the carbonate minerals. This study illustrates a novel CO 2 utilization and storage technique in which CO 2 is concurrently sequestered while enhancing oil recovery in a depleted oil reservoir by injecting CO 2 as foam. The relevance of this study lies in its potential to provide a dual benefit of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and boosting oil production, offering a sustainable approach for the petroleum industry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-70122-1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1038/s41598-024-70122-1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.leukres.2025.107736","name":"Molecular taxonomy of MDS/CMML patients influences responses to hypomethylating agents and clinical outcomes.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"We analyzed 268 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) to determine the impact of their molecular taxonomic features on patient's clinical outcomes and responsiveness to therapy with hypomethylating agents (HMA).

These activities contribute to the stable storage of CO 2 and even negative carbon emission. This paper focuses on the processes of bio-methanation, bio-liquefaction, and bio-precipitation that may be involved in CO 2 sequestration in deep stratum and discusses the research progress in the bio-transformation pathways.

An objective assessment of this training has not yet been performed. Aim To assess the theoretical and practical knowledge about CCUS among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) residents. Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted during the period from January to June 2021. Data were collected using a French language questionnaire distributed on the day of the selection of the residents' posts for the next training period (at the end of June 2021). Results Out of 75 residents, 37 accepted to answer to the survey (Participation rate =49 %). The majority were female (66.4%). The mean age was 29±12.36 years. Only 5.4% of participants (n=2) had previously received training concerning echocardiography and only 8.1% of the participants have received dedicated training for lung ultrasound (LU). Among the participants, 80.1% of residents (n=30) had never performed a transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Competence in performing echocardiography was self-assessed quite good and bad by 5.4% and 43.2% of responders respectively. Most of the residents (86%) did not insert before ultrasound-guided central venous catheters. Views known by the participants using TTE were mainly parasternal long axis section (56.8%) and apical 4/5 chambers section (52.8%). All participants (100%) thought that teaching CCU is a necessary part of the training of intensivists. Conclusion Our study highlighted the lack of training of Tunisian ICU residents regarding CCUS learning. Therefore, it is crucial to integrate such learning and training into their training programs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.62438/tunismed.v102i6.4866","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.62438/tunismed.v102i6.4866","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170085","name":"Carbon capture, utilization and sequestration systems design and operation optimization: Assessment and perspectives of artificial intelligence opportunities.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) is a promising solution to decarbonize the energy and industrial sectors to mitigate climate change. An integrated assessment of technological options is required for the effective deployment of CCUS large-scale infrastructure between CO 2 production and utilization/sequestration nodes. However, developing cost-effective strategies from engineering and operation perspectives to implement CCUS is challenging. This is due to the diversity of upstream emitting processes located in different geographical areas, available downstream utilization technologies, storage sites capacity/location, and current/future energy/emissions/economic conditions. This paper identifies the need to achieve a robust hybrid assessment tool for CCUS modeling, simulation, and optimization based mainly on artificial intelligence (AI) combined with mechanistic methods. Thus, a critical literature review is conducted to assess CCUS technologies and their related process modeling/simulation/optimization techniques, while evaluating the needs for improvements or new developments to reduce overall CCUS systems design and operation costs. These techniques include first principles- based and data-driven ones, i.e. AI and related machine learning (ML) methods. Besides, the paper gives an overview on the role of life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate CCUS systems where the combined LCA-AI approach is assessed. Other advanced methods based on the AI/ML capabilities/algorithms can be developed to optimize the whole CCUS value chain. Interpretable ML combined with explainable AI can accelerate optimum materials selection by giving strong rules which accelerates the design of capture/utilization plants afterwards. Besides, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) coupled with process simulations will accelerate process design/operation optimization through considering simultaneous optimization of equipment sizing and operating conditions. Moreover, generative deep learning (GDL) is a key solution to optimum capture/utilization materials design/discovery. The developed AI methods can be generalizable where the extracted knowledge can be transferred to future works to help cutting the costs of CCUS value chain.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170085","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170085","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ani15020224","name":"Prevalence of Reasons for Tooth Extraction in Small- and Medium-Breed Dogs.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"As the life span of companion animals increases and their owners' concern for their quality of life increases, interest in dental diseases has also gained attention.

Methods A scoping review conducted via PubMed (last updated September 2024) identified studies involving VEXAS patients, excluding studies primarily addressing hematologic adverse events or laboratory parameters, with no lower date restriction. A double-review process was applied from screening to data charting. Outcomes included the prevalence of manifestations of VEXAS-related morbidity burden and their aggregated rates, adhering to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Findings Out of 357 records, 31 studies met the inclusion criteria, analyzing 1437 patients. The median study sample size was 40 patients (IQR 16-59). Most studies (96·8%) were non-interventional and mostly conducted in France (38·7%) and the USA (32·3%). The median age at symptom onset was 67 years (IQR 66-68·6).

This study refines existing thermodynamic models by incorporating Helmholtz free energy as a convergence criterion, offering a more accurate representation of confined phase behavior. Unlike conventional Gibbs free energy-based models, this approach effectively accounts for confinement-induced deviations in phase equilibrium, ensuring improved predictive accuracy for nanoscale reservoirs. Additionally, adsorption effects in micro- and nano-scale pores are explicitly integrated to enhance model reliability. A multi-scale thermodynamic model for CO2-hydrocarbon systems is developed and validated through physical simulations. Key findings indicate that as the scale decreases from bulk to 10 nm, the bubble point pressure shows a deviation of 5% to 23%, while the density of confined fluids increases by approximately 2%. The results also reveal that smaller pores restrict gas expansion, leading to an enhanced CO2 solubility effect and stronger phase mixing behavior. Through phase diagram analysis, density expansion, multi-stage contact, and differential separation simulations, we further clarify how confinement influences CO2 injection efficiency.

Prior studies have identified an association between GCA and hematologic malignancies (HMs). How the presence of somatic mutations that drive the development of HMs, or clonal hematopoiesis (CH), may influence clinical outcomes in GCA is not well understood. Methods To examine an association between CH and GCA, we analyzed sequenced exomes of 470,960 UK Biobank (UKB) participants for the presence of CH and used multivariable Cox regression. To examine the clinical phenotype of GCA in patients with and without somatic mutations across the spectrum of CH to HM, we performed targeted sequencing of blood samples and electronic health record review on 114 patients with GCA seen at our institution. We then examined associations between specific clonal mutations and GCA disease manifestations. Results UKB participants with CH had a 1.48-fold increased risk of incident GCA compared to UKB participants without CH. GCA risk was highest among individuals with cytopenia (hazard ratio [HR] 2.98, P = 0.00178) and with TET2 mutation (HR 2.02, P = 0.00116). Mutations were detected in 27.2% of our institutional GCA cohort, three of whom had HM at GCA diagnosis. TET2 mutations were associated with vision loss in patients with GCA (odds ratio 4.33, P = 0.047). Conclusions CH increases risk for development of GCA in a genotype-specific manner, with the greatest risk being conferred by the presence of mutations in TET2. Somatic TET2 mutations likewise increase the risk of GCA-associated vision loss. Integration of somatic genetic testing in GCA diagnostics may be warranted in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/art.42738","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1002/art.42738","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41467-025-63569-x","name":"Community-based research supports more just and equitable industrial decarbonization.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Industrial decarbonization refers to the removal or reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, process emissions, or embodied carbon from industry.

Materials and methods We enrolled women undergoing hysterectomy, with or without pelvic organ prolapse (for all indications except cervical tumours/history of cervical operations). Their cervical lengths were measured both by ultrasound and anatomical measurement. The external length of the cervix was measured using Doppler location of the uterine artery near the cervical-uterine junction as the proximal point and compared to the ultrasound measurement of the cervical canal. The uterine specimen was used to record anatomical cervical measurements as well as uterine corpus length. Baseline characteristics such as age, body mass index and pelvic organ prolapse quantification were also collected. Results Twenty women were eligible for evaluation. We found the average anatomical cervical canal length was (ccAN) 33.95 mm (range ± 9.23) and by external measurement (ceAN) 36.80 mm (range ± 7.54). We found a significant, high-powered correlation between our ultrasound and anatomical measurements in both techniques, as well as between the two ultrasound techniques.

This study comprehensively evaluates the GHG reduction potential of utilising forestry residue in different bioenergy technologies using a consequential LCA approach. Unlike previous studies that assess GHG impacts per unit of fuel produced, this research takes a feedstock-centric approach which enables comparisons across systems that yield diverse products and by-products. Three technologies-combined heat and power plant with carbon capture, hydrothermal liquefaction, and gasification-are assessed, while considering both carbon capture and storage (CCS) or carbon capture and utilisation (CCU). Through scenario analysis, the study addresses uncertainty, and assumptions in the LCA modelling. It explores the impact of energy systems, fuel substitution efficiency, renewable energy expansion, and the up/down stream supply chain. All technology pathways showed a potential for net emissions savings when including avoided emissions from substitution of products, with results varying from -111 to -1742 kgCO 2eq per tonne residue. When combining the bioenergy technologies with CCU the dependency on the energy system in which they are operated was a significantly higher compared to CCS. The breakpoint was found to be 44 kg CO 2 eq /kWh electricity meaning that the marginal electricity mix has to be below this point for CCU to obtain lower GHG emissions.

Although uncommon, some patients develop persistent cytopenia and eventually therapy-related myeloid neoplasm (t-MN), which has a dismal prognosis. As the indications for PRRT are expanding, it is important to investigate factors that may predict cytopenias during/after PRRT. We prospectively evaluated the prevalence of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and cytopenia in patients with NET undergoing PRRT. Materials and methods Patients with metastatic NET with plan to receive four cycles of lutetium-177 were enrolled. CH was evaluated before PRRT using a panel of 220 genes with a targeted depth of ≥1,000×. Patients were followed during PRRT and every 3 months thereafter. Results Of 37 patients enrolled, the median age was 68 years and 51.4% were male. Previous treatment exposures included alkylating agents in 30%, platinum agents in 8%, and external radiation in 13%. CH was detected in 35.1% using a variant allele frequency (VAF) cutoff of ≥2% and 45.9% with a VAF of ≥1%. The most common mutations were in age-related genes ( DNMT3A , TET2 ). CH was not associated with anemia or neutropenia; however, it was associated with lower platelet count at baseline and more time spent in a thrombocytopenic state during/after PRRT. Five patients had bone marrow biopsies (BMBs) because of sustained hematologic dysfunction post-PRRT, and of those, diagnoses included clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) in three and idiopathic cytopenia of undetermined significance (ICUS) in two. Conclusion CH is present in 35.1% of patients with NET and is associated with thrombocytopenia risk during PRRT.

Within these disorders, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are specifically characterized by morphological abnormalities (dysplasia) and impaired maturation of myeloid precursors (ineffective hematopoiesis), resulting in peripheral blood cytopenia. Several studies have advanced the field of MDS, with a few landmark papers leading to a paradigm shift, opening new avenues of research and enabling a molecular revolution. These seminal papers include the first description of the 5q- syndrome, the identification of somatic mutations of TET2 in myeloid neoplasms, the detection of common pathway mutations in the splicing machinery, and the discovery of clonal hematopoiesis. The somatic genomic landscape of MDS is now well defined. Genes that are recurrently mutated include epigenetic regulators, as well as genes of RNA splicing machinery, transcription regulation, DNA repair control, cohesin complex, and signal transduction. Furthermore, several disorders with a germline genetic predisposition to MDS have been identified, collectively accounting for up to 15% of all MDS cases. Genomic profiling can significantly improve the diagnostic approach to MDS, allowing the identification of distinct nosological entities such as SF3B1-mutant or TP53-mutant MDS. The Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System for MDS has already proven to be a valuable tool for individualized risk assessment and treatment decisions.

This report tries to provide actionable insights into the interconnectedness of air pollution and climate governance. It highlights key policy gaps, presents updated indicators, and offers a refined monitoring framework to track progress toward China's dual goals of reducing emissions and improving air quality.

The aim is to further refine the monitoring framework, track progress, and establish a comprehensive theory for collaborative governance while identifying challenges and proposing solutions for China's pathway to carbon neutrality and clean air. The report comprises six chapters. The executive summary chapter is followed by analyzing air pollution and climate change interactions. Governance systems and practices are discussed in the third chapter, focusing on policy implementation and local experiences. The fourth chapter addresses structural transformations and emission reduction technologies, including energy and industrial shifts, transportation, low-carbon buildings, carbon capture and storage, and power systems.

Here, we explore the cost-effectiveness uncertainty brought by policy implementation disturbances of different coal power phaseout and new-built strategies (i.e., the disruption of phaseout priority) in China based on a developed unit-level uncertainty assessment framework. We reveal the opportunity and risk of coal transition decisions by employing preference analysis. We find that, the uncertainty of a policy implementation might lead to potential delays in yielding the initial positive annual net benefits. For example, a delay of six years might occur when implementing the prior phaseout practice. A certain level of risk remains in the implementation of the phaseout policy, as not all strategies can guarantee the cumulative positive net benefits from 2018-2060. Since the unit-level heterogeneities shape diverse orientation of the phaseout, the decision-making preferences would remarkably alter the selection of a coal power transition strategy. More strikingly, the cost-effectiveness uncertainty might lead to missed opportunities in identifying an optimal strategy. Our results highlight the importance of minimizing the policy implementation disturbance, which helps mitigate the risk of negative benefits and strengthen the practicality of phaseout decisions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-46549-5","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1038/s41467-024-46549-5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.069Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1182/bloodadvances.2025016053","name":"An ethical allocation scheme for scarce gene therapies in sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Abstract Novel gene therapies (GTs) for sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) are severely limited by manufacturing, intensive care delivery, and high costs, requiring an ethically justified framework for allocating treatment within GT programs.

This study investigates nurse-midwives' interventions in empowering women for active labor, during antenatal education within primary healthcare settings. Methods A qualitative descriptive study was conducted in Primary Healthcare Units that provide antenatal education for childbirth in Portugal. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 nurse-midwives between August and October 2023. Content analysis, utilizing NVIVO software, was employed for data analysis, and the study adhered to the COREQ reporting guidelines. Results Six themes emerged: 1) Perspective of nurse-midwives and contextual influences; 2) Assessment of women's needs; 3) Enhancing women's knowledge; 4) Enhancing women's capabilities; 5) Supporting women in decision-making; and 6) Nurse-midwives' perspective on intervention outcomes. It is necessary to create environments conducive to knowledge and skill acquisition and invest in developing body awareness and its impact on labor progression. Encouraging women's involvement in decision-making is crucial, especially in less flexible hospital environments. Conclusions This study highlighted the value nurse-midwives place on empowering women for active labor. Interventions featured sharing evidence-based practices and birth stories to foster reflection, emphasizing pelvic mobility training and partner involvement.

Reflections on day-to-day practice were collected concurrently and thematically analysed. Themes were integrated with scores using a joint display table and organised into domains.

Unlike most industrial sectors, pulp mills rely heavily on biomass, meaning that much of their carbon emissions originate from atmospheric CO₂ that was recently captured by plants. If this biogenic CO₂ can be captured and permanently stored, pulp mills can be transformed from carbon emitters into net carbon removal facilities. This project was motivated by that opportunity and aimed to develop and evaluate integrated, low-cost strategies for capturing, utilizing, and sequestering CO₂ within existing chemical pulping operations. The scope of this work focused on four complementary innovations designed to integrate seamlessly into kraft pulp mill infrastructure: (1) in situ CO₂ capture within the recovery cycle, (2) oxy-fuel retrofitting of the rotary lime kiln to produce a high-purity CO₂ stream, (3) ex situ CO₂ capture and mineralization using pulp mill residues (dregs, grits, and lime mud), and (4) beneficial reuse of these residues as mineral carbonate fertilizers. The project combined process modeling, laboratory experimentation, life cycle assessment (LCA), and field trials to evaluate the technical feasibility, economic viability, and environmental impact of these approaches. The results demonstrate that pulp mills can serve as effective platforms for carbon removal when equipped with integrated carbon capture systems. Process modeling showed that combining sodium spiking with oxy-fuel calcination significantly enhances CO₂ capture efficiency while reducing costs by up to 31% compared to conventional configurations. Experimental work further revealed that calcination behavior in high-CO₂ environments differs substantially from traditional systems, leading to the development of a new kinetic model that predicts reaction rates under these conditions. This model provides essential design guidance for next-generation decarbonized lime kilns. In parallel, the project demonstrated that alkaline mineral residues generated during pulping operations can be repurposed as a sustainable alternative to agricultural lime. Across a wide range of soils in the southeastern United States, these materials performed equivalently to commercial lime in adjusting soil pH while offering lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduced cost. Field and greenhouse studies confirmed that crop and tree growth responses were comparable, supporting their viability as a drop-in replacement. This co-product pathway provides a practical utilization strategy that offsets costs and improves overall system economics. A major contribution of this project is the first comprehensive life cycle assessment of carbon removal in pulp and paper systems across multiple system boundaries. Results show that retrofitted mills can achieve carbon removal efficiencies ranging from 12% to 92%, depending on how the system is defined. This finding highlights a critical issue in carbon accounting: reported performance is highly sensitive to methodological choices. By explicitly quantifying these differences, this work provides valuable guidance for policymakers, carbon registries, and project developers working to standardize carbon removal metrics. From a commercialization perspective, the technologies investigated in this project are well- aligned with existing industrial infrastructure, minimizing the need for entirely new facilities. 3 DE-EE0009413 Industry engagement throughout the project—including collaboration with pulp and paper companies, equipment manufacturers, and carbon removal developers—has accelerated the transition from research to deployment. Notably, a commercial developer is actively pursuing carbon capture projects at pulp mills in the southeastern United States and has cited this research as a contributing foundation.

At the same time, several major industrial economies — including the Republic of Korea, Japan, and parts of Southeast Asia — face a structural deficit of natural geological storage reservoirs suitable for conventional CCS. Existing mineralization options, including ex-situ slurry reactors, in-situ basalt injection, and surficial mine tailings carbonation, occupy distinct niches but leave a regulatory grey zone for jurisdictions that lack large-scale saline aquifers yet possess abundant abandoned mine voids and alkaline industrial by-products. This perspective proposes Engineered Closed-Loop Mineral Storage (ECLMS) as a new conceptual CCS category. ECLMS combines (i) sealed underground containment in repurposed mine voids or engineered caverns, (ii) aqueous-phase mineral carbonation using slag, basalt, or olivine, and (iii) stabilization of CO₂ as dissolved bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) and precipitated carbonates within a closed system. We map ECLMS onto the four IPCC trapping mechanisms, distinguish it from adjacent categories (Carbfix-style in-situ injection, Carbon8-style products, Calcarea-style ocean dispersal, and the Korean Dogye colliery pilot), and outline its compatibility with EU ETS Article 12(3b), Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/2620, the EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF), the Article 6.4 Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (PACM), and the IPCC 2006 inventory guidelines. First-order capacity estimates for a 10,000 m³ reservoir suggest single-batch storage of approximately 2,250–6,900 tCO₂ (slag to olivine feedstock) and cumulative storage under semi-batch operation (Mode B) of approximately 4,500–21,000 tCO₂, with levelized costs in the range of USD 40–150 per ton of CO₂ stored. We argue that ECLMS is best understood not as a new technology but as a missing taxonomic category whose formal recognition would unlock CCS deployment in storage-deficit jurisdictions and complement, rather than compete with, existing pathways.","url":"https://doi.org/10.31223/x5cv26","authors":["BongKwan Song","Seoyeon Kim"],"tags":["Tailings","Environmental science","Carbonation","Earth science","Mineralization (soil science)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.31223/x5cv26","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7154033730","name":"Canada 2025 Budget Analysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"This paper assesses Canada’s Budget 2025, evaluating its fiscal and sectoral implications using fiscal data and baseline projections; it highlights likely short-and long-term impacts on investment, employment, and government finances under alternative growth scenarios.","url":"https://doi.org/10.38124/ijisrt/26apr406","authors":["Aditya Arya"],"tags":["Government (linguistics)","Economics","Baseline (sea)","Government budget","Fiscal policy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.38124/ijisrt/26apr406","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7162010675","name":"Child protection in Ukraine: family law frameworks and the application of the 1996 Hague Convention","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract This article discusses child protection mechanisms in Ukrainian domestic law – primarily family law – and analyses the practice of Ukrainian courts in applying the 1996 Hague Convention.

The article rejects the view of the Civil Cassation Court regarding the sequence of application of Articles 5–7 of the 1996 Hague Convention, since it is necessary to first exclude the possibility of determining jurisdiction on the grounds of Articles 6 and 7 of the Convention and only then analyse whether jurisdiction can be established on the basis of Article 5(1) of the Convention.

The aim was to evaluate the follow-up of women with abnormal Pap smear prescribed by an ambulatory health professional, compared to the ANAES guidelines of 2002. METHOD: Quantitative monocentric and retrospective study of 120 women with abnormal Pap smear performed before October 2014 in the French department of the Loire. RESULTS: 114 abnormal Pap smear follow-ups of women between the ages of 18 and 75 have been analyzed. Cytological abnormalities were spread among 90 ASC-US (79%), 16 LSIL (14%), 6 HSIL (5,3%) and 2 ASC-H (1,7%). Compared to the ANAES guidelines, 52% of follow-ups were incomplete, 24% were comprehensive with too long of a delay, and 24% were guidelines compliant.

First, the transforming actor landscape in hydrogen geopolitics compared to fossil-fuel geopolitics. Here, China’s role, while significant in critical minerals and selected technologies is comparatively narrower in outward-facing hydrogen markets creating space for middle-powers to shape emerging hydrogen flows. Second, rising geopolitical volatility and infrastructure vulnerability can shift system design towards prioritising resilience and decentralisation, including distributed production, diversified transport and storage options as well as micro-grid compatible assets. This is termed a ‘Kjellenian moment’ in which states pursue strategic autonomy rather than relying solely on markets and alliance politics. Third, institutional choices gain in importance as resource endowments do not translate into hydrogen projects in a similar way as in fossil fuel cases. Policy design, certification and standards, state-industry coordination, demand creation, and security practices all impact on which actors most shape hydrogen futures. Taken together, these dynamics suggest pluralist hydrogen geopolitics shaped by overlapping, competing political interests that need to be duly acknowledged in influencing national and international impacts on evolving hydrogen pathways alongside technological questions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-24792-6_6","authors":["Pami Aalto","Anna Claydon"],"tags":["Geopolitics","Hydrogen economy","Hydrogen technologies","Hydrogen","Resilience (materials science)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-24792-6_6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7154753621","name":"Ukrainische Justizreformen im Krieg: Fortschritte, Herausforderungen und warum dies für Europa von Bedeutung ist","source":"openalex","abstract":"Trotz des Widerstands gegen die russische Vollinvasion hat die Ukraine erhebliche Fortschritte bei der Reform der Rechtsstaatlichkeit erzielt - einer der obersten Prioritäten für den EU-Beitritt.

Critical care nurses (CCNs) are well positioned to influence environmentally sustainable practices. AIMS: To assess CCNs' attitudes and climate-health engagement related to healthcare sustainability, to explore perceived challenges and identify other factors affecting sustainable practice in critical care settings. STUDY DESIGN: A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling of CCNs working in adult ICUs, emergency departments and cardiac care units in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using the Sustainability Attitudes in Nursing Survey (SANS-2), Climate, Health and Nursing Tool (CHANT) and a self-developed checklist to assess perceived challenges to practising healthcare sustainability, which were distributed electronically. Descriptive and inferential statistics, correlation analysis and multivariate linear regression were performed. RESULTS: A total of 216 CCNs participated, yielding a response rate of 90%; the respondents demonstrated generally positive attitudes towards sustainability and climate change (mean SANS-2 score = 23.87 ± 8.69). Concern about the health impacts of climate change ranked highest among CHANT domains (76.0%), while sustainability-related behaviours at work were lowest (49.1%). Awareness, concern and motivation were positively associated with sustainability behaviours, whereas attitudes showed weak associations with behaviour. Key challenges included lack of organisational support (45.8%), staff shortages and workload (41.2%) and inadequate policies or infrastructure (36.1%). Leadership role and lack of previous training independently predicted higher attitude scores, whereas prior education predicted greater climate-health engagement. CONCLUSIONS: Although CCNs express strong concern and positive attitudes towards sustainability, organisational and workload constraints limit translation into practice. Strengthening leadership engagement, targeted education and institutional support is essential to embed sustainable practices in critical care. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The study highlights sustainability attitudes, climate-health engagement, perceived challenges and persistent behavioural gaps, while identifying the central roles of education, leadership, and organisational support.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/nicc.70627","authors":["Amal Ismael Abdelhafez","Mostafa Wael Mostafa Mohamed","Ahmed M.

A partir de esta realidad, se plantea una pregunta central: ¿Cómo impacta la baja cultura tributaria en la evasión del Impuesto de Industria y Comercio (ICA) entre microempresarios informales de Apartadó (Urabá), afectando directamente el recaudo tributario municipal? El estudio, desarrollado bajo una metodología cuantitativo-descriptiva, se apoya en el análisis de datos oficiales de la Alcaldía de Apartadó (2024-2025) y en literatura reciente (2020-2026). Los resultados son claros: la evasión del ICA oscila entre el 34% y el 38%, lo que representa pérdidas anuales cercanas a los $3.252 millones. Este fenómeno no es aislado, sino que responde a cinco factores determinantes: el desconocimiento de la normativa especialmente en lo relacionado con tarifas fijas, la percepción de complejidad e n el cálculo IVA-ICA, la desconfianza hacia las instituciones, la ausencia de incentivos visibles y la normalización de la informalidad como práctica cotidiana. Desde el enfoque teórico, el Modelo Slippery Slope (Kirchler et al., 2008; Alm & Torgler, 2020) se confirma en el contexto analizado: la evasión no solo responde a la falta de control, sino también a la baja confianza institucional. A esto se suma la Teoría del Aprendizaje Social (Bandura, 1977), que permite entender cómo las conductas evasivas se reproducen y legitiman en espacios como las plazas de mercado. El análisis comparativo con experiencias exitosas en Antioquia demuestra que el problema tiene solución. Municipios como Rionegro, Envigado e Itagüí han logrado resultados concretos incrementos de hasta 25% en recaudo mediante estrategias integrales que combinan educación tributaria, digitalización de procesos y esquemas de incentivos. Estos casos evidencian que, con intervenciones bien diseñadas, es posible revertir patrones de evasión incluso en contextos de alta informalidad.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7166255599","authors":["Kellyn Dayana Núñez Galindo","Kenis Yulieth Peralta Jaraba"],"tags":["Humanities","Political science","Geography","Context (archaeology)","Cartography"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7168283901","name":"Assessment of TVSA Cycle Configurations for Cooperative Adsorbents with Step-Shaped Isotherms under Direct Air Capture","source":"openalex","abstract":"Summary As Direct Air Capture (DAC) becomes essential for climate mitigation, optimising process-level performance for advanced adsorbents is critical. This study investigates the impact of cycle configuration on the performance of mmen-Mg2(dobpdc), a metal-organic framework with a unique cooperative, step-shaped adsorption mechanism. A one-dimensional temperature-vacuum swing adsorption (TVSA) model was developed in Aspen Adsorption V14 and validated against experimental breakthrough data (R2 = 0.9756). The study compares a standard 5-step TVSA cycle with a modified configuration incorporating a preheating stage before the vacuum stage to enhance product purity. Contrary to established trends for conventional adsorbents, results indicate that preheating is counterproductive for this phase-change MOF. The modified cycle resulted in significantly lower CO2 recovery and higher specific energy consumption (SEC) without improving purity. This degradation is attributed to the material’s steep temperature sensitivity; heating before evacuation triggers a rapid shift in the step position, causing premature CO2 desorption and loss at atmospheric pressure. These findings suggest the need for specialised cycle strategies tailored to the unique thermodynamic characteristics of phase-change materials.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202622005","authors":["M.

Dual functional materials (DFMs), combining CO 2 adsorption and catalytic conversion functionalities within a single material, have emerged as a promising process-intensification strategy. By enabling direct capture of CO 2 streams and subsequent hydrogenation to synthetic methane (CH 4 ) in the same reactor, DFMs offer a pathway to reduce energy penalties associated with conventional capture–transport–conversion schemes while facilitating the storage of renewable energy. This perspective examines the evolution of DFM design for integrated CO 2 capture and methanation, highlighting key advances in sorbent–catalyst architectures, mechanistic understanding, and reactor operation strategies. Particular attention is given to the complex interplay between CO 2 adsorption, surface intermediate formation, hydrogen activation, and methane production, which governs overall performance. Despite significant progress, several challenges remain, including maintaining long-term stability under realistic flue gas conditions, improving methane productivity at low CO 2 concentrations, managing heat and mass transfer limitations, and establishing scalable synthesis routes. Advances in multifunctional material design, data-driven design and optimization, and integration with renewable hydrogen sources are expected to accelerate the deployment of DFM-based methanation systems. In particular, data-driven approaches can potentially provide new opportunities to identify optimal combinations of adsorption and catalytic functionalities while significantly reducing experimental trial-and-error efforts. By outlining current opportunities and future research directions, this perspective aims to provide a framework for developing next-generation DFMs capable of bridging carbon capture and sustainable fuel production in a circular carbon economy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenve.2026.1925304","authors":["J.

Current systems typically process data in silos, with cloud-based infrastructure, leading to response delays in critical situations. To address these issues, we propose a Predictive Multi-Modal Smart Vital Analysis System (SHVAMS) that combines IoT data collection, multimodal deep learning, and edge/fog computing for proactive and intelligent healthcare monitoring. The study's research design is quantitative and experimental, with the physiological data (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and temperature) obtained from IoMT devices in various clinical settings. Preprocessing and standardization of a dataset of 1,000 observations and classification into critical, warning and normal classes was performed using pre-defined clinically valid thresholds. The system is based on multimodal deep learning models that are deployed at the edge layer to facilitate low latency processing and real-time decision-making. The results show that the proposed system is able to provide better prediction accuracy and small time delay as compared with traditional approaches which are based on cloud computing, and about 3.7% of the observations are predicted to be critical cases for immediate intervention. The system increases its ability to detect early physiological deterioration and provide timely alerts, aiding proactive clinical decision making. The integration of multimodal AI with edge computing within a single healthcare framework represents a novel and promising approach for scalable and efficient real-time monitoring.","url":"https://doi.org/10.63056/academia.5.3(c).2026.1889","authors":["Umair Ali","Akhtar Hamid Hussain","Maria Memon","Altantuya Dashnyam","Dr. Engr.

The SCAI SHOCK stage was less advanced in complex high risk percutaneous coronary intervention (CHIP-PCI) indication and more advanced in postcardiotomy shock, myocarditis, pulmonary embolism (PE), refractory cardiac arrest or electric storm (Figure A). In-hospital survival was 41.1% and it was significantly lower as SCAI SHOCK stage increased (A 83.9%, B 100%, C 66.7%, D 39.2%, E 24.5%; p=0.000), as well as in follow-up for a median time of 24.5 [47] months (figure B). This association was maintained with both types of devices separately: VA-ECMO (A 80%, B 100%, C 33.3%, D 38.9%, E 24.5%, p=0.001) and Impella (A 84%, B 100%, C 75%, D 42.9%, E 25%, p=0.005). Regarding the indication and etiology for MCS, SCAI SHOCK classification was significantly related with survival in CS indication, as well as in ACS and heart failure (HF) etiology (Figure B). However, no relationship between SCAI and survival was observed in indications as CHIP-PCI (A 83.9%, B 100%, C 50%; p=0.386), electrical storm (C 0%, D 100%, E 70%; p=0.075) and postcardiotomy shock (D 35.6%, E 20%; p=0.470), neither in etiologies as PE (D 0%, E 28.6%; p=1), infective endocarditis (D 28.6%, E 0%; p=1), myocarditis (D 100%, E 0%; p=0.250),and other causes of cardiac arrest (D 0%, E 25%; p=1), nor in patients admitted for elective cardiac surgery. Conclusions SCAI SHOCK stage classification showed prognostic value in patients with short-term MCS indicated by diverse etiologies, including both VA-ECMO and Impella CP devices. The prognostic value was maintained for the indication of CS, and in ACS and HF etiologies, but not in electrical storm, CHIP-PCI, PE, myocarditis or postcardiotomy shock. Studies are needed to validate this classification in other settings.TableFigure","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ehjacc/zuae036.013","authors":["Ángel Hernández Martos","Marta Alonso Fernández de Gatta","Adelaida Nieto","Miryam González Cebrián","I Toranzo Nieto","Avelino Rodríguez","Francisco Martín Herrero","S Merchan Gomez","David González Calle","Miguel Hernández Hidalgo","Gilles José Barreira de Sousa","Alberto de Ávila Neila","P L Sanchez Fernandez"],"tags":["Shock (circulatory)","Circulatory system","Stage (stratigraphy)","Term (time)","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ehjacc/zuae036.013","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W4413369866","name":"ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЯ ЕНЕРГЕТИКИ В ДЕЯКИХ КРАЇНАХ ЦЕНТРАЛЬНОЇ ТА СХІДНОЇ ЄВРОПИ","source":"openalex","abstract":"ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЯ ЕНЕРГЕТИКИ В ДЕЯКИХ КРАЇНАХ ЦЕНТРАЛЬНОЇ ТА СХІДНОЇ ЄВРОПИ Анотація.Стаття досліджує енергетичну трансформацію чотирьох країн Центральної та Східної Європи (Угорщини, Польщі, Румунії та Словаччини) в контексті переходу до низьковуглецевих енергетичних систем та забезпечення енергетичної безпеки.Актуальність дослідження зумовлена необхідністю аналізу різних моделей енергетичного переходу в умовах геополітичних викликів, кліматичних зобов'язань ЄС та потреби диверсифікації енергопостачання.Метою роботи є комплексний аналіз стратегій енергетичної трансформації, виявлення ключових тенденцій та оцінка ефективності різних підходів до декарбонізації енергетики в регіоні ЦСЄ.Методологія базується на аналізі офіційних енергетичних стратегій, статистичних даних міжнародних організацій та моніторингу реалізації інфраструктурних проектів.Результати дослідження демонструють чотири різні моделі енергетичного переходу.Угорщина розвиває гібридну модель, поєднуючи розширення АЕС \"Пакш\" (понад 50% виробництва) з найшвидшим у світі зростанням сонячної енергетики (1,6 ГВт у 2023 році) через \"розумні мережі\".Польща здійснює кардинальний перехід від вугільної залежності до офшорної вітроенергетики Балтики (19 проектів загальною потужністю 12 ГВт), одночасно впроваджуючи технології CCS для перехідного періоду та інтеграцію через LitPol/SwePol лінії.Румунія використовує унікальний гідропотенціал Дунаю для балансування європейської мережі, поєднуючи ГЕС \"Залізні Ворота\" з сонячними парками Добруджі (1,2 ГВт) та ставши першою в регіоні країною з \"вуглецевими контрактами\" для офшорного вітру в Чорному морі.Словаччина демонструє найефективнішу модель інтеграції, де АЕС \"Моховце\" з коефіцієнтом використання потужності 91% забезпечує стабільне базове навантаження для досягнення 19,2% ВДЕ до 2030 року.Дослідження виявляє спільні виклики: адаптацію до CBAM, необхідність модернізації мережевої інфраструктури, залучення інвестицій та регіональну координацію через ENTSO-E.Практичне значення роботи полягає в","url":"https://doi.org/10.52058/2786-5274-2025-8(48)-830-842","authors":["Дмитро Ткач"],"tags":["Philosophy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.52058/2786-5274-2025-8(48)-830-842","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7140181017","name":"Focused monitoring using Vertical Seismic Profile data","source":"openalex","abstract":"Recent developments in light and ultra-light monitoring methods have made it possible to focus on specific “spot” locations using light seismic spreads and tailored processing workflows for both onshore and offshore surveys.

Models developed using high-frequency physiological monitoring often experience performance degradation when applied across hospitals, patient populations, and monitoring environments that differ from those used during training. Although variability in temporal resolution is widespread in critical care, its impact on representation learning and model transferability remains poorly understood. Here, we introduce the resolution-transfer task for physiological time series and present PhysioStack, a self-supervised physiological representation learning framework designed to evaluate whether representations learned from high-frequency monitoring data remain robust across clinically relevant monitoring frequencies without retraining. We introduce SafeICU, a longitudinal pediatric intensive care dataset spanning ten years of routinely collected clinical and physiological data from a tertiary-care hospital in India, including high-resolution vital signs recorded at 15-second intervals. Transformer-based masked language models were trained on 144,271 patient-hours of high-resolution physiological signals from 984 pediatric ICU stays to learn representations of heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and arterial blood pressure. Representations learned at high temporal resolution demonstrated strong transferability across lower monitoring frequencies, consistently outperforming models trained directly on temporally aggregated data. Importantly, these representations generalized across patient populations, maintaining performance when evaluated on independent adult intensive care cohorts derived from the MIMIC-III and eICU databases without retraining. In a downstream early shock prediction task, PhysioStack achieved AUROC values of 0.82-0.86 and AUPRC values of 0.91-0.94 across 5-60-minute monitoring frequencies without retraining. Representations trained on pediatric data generalized to independent adult ICU cohorts, achieving AUROC 0.91-0.95 and AUPRC 0.94-0.97 without cohort-specific fine-tuning. These findings demonstrate that PhysioStack learns transferable physiological representations that generalize across temporal resolutions and patient cohorts, supporting robust AI for critical care. To support further research, we publicly release the SafeICU database, comprising longitudinal vital signs, laboratory measurements, treatment records, microbiology, and admission and discharge, together with pretrained physiological representation models. Research in context Evidence before this study Before undertaking this study, we searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for articles published between 2010, and 2026. Search terms included combinations of (“self-supervised learning” OR transformer OR “masked language model”) AND (“critical care” OR ICU); (“MIMIC” OR “eICU” OR EHR OR “multimodal data”) AND (“critical care” OR ICU); and (“physiological time series” OR “vital signs” OR monitoring) AND (generalization OR “temporal resolution” OR “sampling frequency”). The equivalent PubMed searches yielded 302, 6468, and 214561 records, respectively, reflecting the rapid growth of research in artificial intelligence, critical care datasets, and physiological monitoring. Manual screening of relevant reviews and original articles showed that existing studies primarily investigate self-supervised learning for downstream clinical prediction or evaluate generalizability across institutions and patient cohorts. However, nearly all studies develop and evaluate models using a single temporal resolution, treating monitoring frequency as fixed.

Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels (including gas, coal, and oil) and deforestation, have significantly raised atmospheric CO2 levels since the Industrial Revolution. Sand cement bricks, which were commonly used in construction due to their durability and affordability, were mainly manufactured from cement and sand. Global process emissions from cement production in 2017 amounted to 1.48 ± 0.20 Gt CO2, equivalent to about 4% of emissions from fossil fuels, prompting exploration of alternative materials and methods to enhance sustainability in construction. This study examined the strength and carbonation characteristics of sand-cement bricks incorporating fly ash (FA) and magnesium oxide (MgO) under accelerated carbonation conditions of 50% CO2, 27℃, for 7 and 28 days. Sand-cement bricks with dimensions 215mm x 103mm x 65mm were formulated with FA replacing cement at 20%, 40%, and 60%, along with a fixed 2% MgO content. Compressive strength tests conducted before and after carbonation revealed that a 20% FA replacement with 2% MgO achieved the best balance between strength and carbonation resistance via carbonation depth. R20 sample showed compressive strength of 47.16MPa and 1.24mm of carbonation depth at 28 days, which was the highest compressive strength and lowest carbonation depth among all samples with FA and MgO replacement. Higher FA replacements (40% and 60%) showed reduced early strength but increased carbonation depth, indicating their limited use in load-bearing applications. This study demonstrated the potential of utilizing industrial by-products like FA in sustainable construction while minimizing environmental impacts such as waste accumulation and CO2 emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21741/9781644904237-22","authors":["Faisal Sheikh KHALID"],"tags":["Carbonation","Compressive strength","Cement","Fly ash","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.21741/9781644904237-22","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7165735128","name":"Toward Carbon Neutrality: Pathways and Challenges in Green Steel Production","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT Steel, a cornerstone of modern civilization and economic growth, has experienced exponential production growth, resulting in substantial carbon emissions owing to reliance on fossil‐based reducing agents and fuels.

Electricity, hydrogen, and biocarbon have emerged as primary reducing agents and heating sources, enabling disruptive steelmaking processes. Pathways toward green steel remain constrained by the need to secure sustainable energy supplies, ensure high‐grade iron ore availability, and advance energy‐efficient technologies for integration into existing or new steelmaking processes. Emphasis is placed on a holistic approach to renewable energy usage and CO 2 emission reduction.

To date, enormous efforts in crystallographic and spectroscopic analyses have explicitly disclosed the pivotal role of polynuclear copper aggregates in the biological and organocatalytic redox processes. Notably, most biological Cu–O active sites often have unsymmetrical coordination environments for each copper ion, which finally account for the differentiated redox properties and biological functions. Inspired by the structural biology advances, numerous synthetic model complexes as enzyme mimics and organocatalytic active species have been established to identify enzymatic reaction intermediates and clarify the catalytic mechanisms. However, those synthetic models often show identical or similar coordination environments for individual copper ions because of the extensive application of synthetically accessible symmetrical ligands. In this Perspective, we endeavor to summarize the composition and structural details of Cu–O active species in several important copper‐containing enzymes and pay special attention to the coordination environments of individual copper ions therein. Mechanistic studies on the biased functions of individual copper centers and the cooperative effect among them have been comprehensively surveyed. Recent progress of the synthetic Cu–O model complexes with unsymmetrical coordination environments, including the distinctive bi‐cluster [alkynyl–copper–oxygen] aggregate, is discussed in detail to clarify the distinctive structure–property relationship of nonequivalent copper ions. We hope that this Perspective reiterates the unsymmetrical structural features of polynuclear copper aggregates in copper‐catalytic systems and highlights the unique effect of coordination unequivalence in redox process, and provides new inspiration for the rational design of novel multimetallic catalysts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/agt2.70277","authors":["Siqi Zhang","Wen Liu","Liang Zhao"],"tags":["Copper","Chemistry","Redox","Coordination complex","Combinatorial chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/agt2.70277","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7204560226","name":"Migration and distribution characteristics of CO 2 and influencing factors in deep saline aquifers","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Deep saline aquifers are regarded as the optimal carriers for large-scale CO 2 geological sequestration, and their storage efficiency and long-term stability are jointly controlled by reservoir physical properties and engineering injection parameters. In order to clarify the migration and evolution characteristics of CO 2 in deep saline aquifers and identify the dominant controlling factors of various sequestration mechanisms, a three-dimensional homogeneous numerical model was established in this study to simulate the full life cycle of 30-year CO 2 injection and 600-year storage. Combined with four core CO 2 trapping mechanisms (structural trapping, residual trapping, dissolution trapping, and mineral trapping), single-factor sensitivity analysis and orthogonal experiments were carried out to investigate the regulatory effects of reservoir permeability, injection rate and initial formation pressure on CO 2 plume sweep volume and sequestration performance, and the influence weight and significance of each factor were quantified via range analysis. The results show that the four trapping mechanisms present a sequential evolution pattern during the whole storage cycle: structural trapping dominates the injection stage, while residual and dissolution trapping gradually take the lead in the long-term storage period, and mineral trapping develops slowly and steadily. Permeability exerts a highly significant regulatory effect on all four trapping mechanisms and thereby dominates the migration, distribution, and morphological transformation of CO 2 . Injection rate only affects the short-term sweep range of the CO 2 plume and has no significant effect on long-term sequestration efficiency. Initial reservoir pressure imposes dual regulatory effects on the sequestration process, enhancing structural and residual trapping but inhibiting dissolution and mineral trapping. Furthermore, reservoir permeability is determined as the common dominant controlling factor for all CO 2 trapping mechanisms, initial formation pressure is the secondary controlling factor, and injection rate is a general influencing factor with insignificant effect.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/3288/1/012022","authors":["Lianting Sun","Chuanzhi Cui"],"tags":["Plume","Aquifer","Dissolution","Trapping","Carbon sequestration"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/3288/1/012022","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W4390710729","name":"Scoping Review of Global Offshore Geologic Carbon Storage Activities","source":"openalex","abstract":"This technical report documents an inventory of offshore geologic carbon storage (GCS) sites globally, with a focus on existing, operating international sites and those characterized in the United States, indicating the type and variety of GCS efforts.

The findings can also be applied to support the modernization of industry standards and justify government support measures.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18147105","authors":["Elena Magaril","Anzhelika Karaeva"],"tags":["Sustainability","Sustainable development","Circular economy","Government (linguistics)","Modernization theory"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18147105","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7168236494","name":"Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) and Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) in Critical Care Units of a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Retrospective Surveillance Study","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) and central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are important preventable device-associated healthcare-related infections in critical care settings and are associated with prolonged hospitalization, adverse outcomes, and increased treatment burden. This study evaluated the incidence and trends of these infections in the critical care units of a tertiary care hospital during the study period. METHODOLOGY: This was a retrospective analysis of routinely collected surveillance records from the critical care units of a tertiary care teaching hospital from July 2019 to December 2020. Standard surveillance definitions were applied throughout. Data on patient-days, device-days, CAUTI events, CLABSI events, device utilization, and hand hygiene compliance were collected and analyzed. Trends across the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods were compared, and the association between hand hygiene compliance and infection rates was assessed. RESULTS: During the study period, 30,263 patient-days, 16,943 urinary catheter-days, and 11,891 central line-days were recorded. A total of 43 CAUTI events and 138 CLABSI events were identified. Infection rates varied across months and units, with higher burdens observed in some adult critical care areas and among lower birth-weight groups in the neonatal intensive care unit. CLABSI rates increased substantially during the pandemic period compared with the pre-pandemic period, while CAUTI rates also showed variation over time. Hand hygiene compliance remained low during the surveillance period. CONCLUSIONS: Device-associated infection rates remained high in the critical care units studied and worsened during the pandemic period, particularly for CLABSI. Strengthening device-care practices, maintaining surveillance systems, and improving hand hygiene compliance remain essential to reducing infection burden in tertiary critical care settings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.112623","authors":["Amber Prasad","Minakshi Singh","Puneet K Gupta","Ankit Agarwal","Prasan K Panda","Gaurav Jain","Balram Omar","Pratima Gupta"],"tags":["Medicine","Hygiene","Incidence (geometry)","Pandemic","Tertiary care"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.112623","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7167653062","name":"La place de l’océan dans la transition énergétique","source":"openalex","abstract":"Longtemps oublié des politiques climatiques, l’océan est désormais au coeur des stratégies de neutralité carbone.

Amid increasingly severe global climate change, the Chinese government has attached great importance to carbon emission control and is actively advancing the construction of its carbon market. As a core element of carbon markets, the carbon price exerts a pivotal influence on the transition and low-carbon development of the coal-fired power industry. This paper undertakes an in-depth analysis of the low-carbon transition of China’s coal-fired power industry under the influence of the carbon price, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for policymakers in formulating relevant policies. It begins by reviewing the concept and characteristics of carbon markets, as well as the development status of both international and Chinese carbon markets. This is followed by an analysis of the current state of China’s coal-fired power industry, its transition needs, and the impacts of the carbon price on the industry. Subsequently, a self-developed comprehensive resource planning model is employed to simulate the effects of carbon price changes on the installed capacity development, structural adjustment, and carbon emissions from the power sector of China’s coal power enterprises. Finally, policy recommendations to facilitate the transition of the coal-fired power industry are proposed. The research findings indicate that changes in the carbon price have a significant impact on the coal-fired power industry, driving enterprises to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency. Furthermore, carbon market policies play a crucial role in promoting the low-carbon transition of the coal-fired power industry. Through policy adjustments and optimization, synergistic development between carbon market policies and the industry’s transition can be achieved. The findings provide important insights for enhancing environmental sustainability, economic efficiency, and system resilience in China’s power sector under carbon neutrality goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18104680","authors":["Wanyue Xuan","Rijia Ding","RuiYing Wang","J Zhang"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Environmental economics","Sustainability","Electric power industry","Natural resource economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18104680","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7204580653","name":"Improving cost competitiveness in hydrogen production pathways through technology maturity, patent concentration and game-theoretic classification","source":"openalex","abstract":"Many hydrogen projects face cancellation due to high development costs and contractual asymmetries between technology licensors and project developers, highlighting the need for strategic frameworks to enhance efficient collaborations. This study employs a multi-method approach based on a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and analytical classification. The approach extends the Kraljic matrix to innovation-intensive technologies. Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and market growth are used as proxies for profit impact, while the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI) measures supply risk through patent concentration. Hydrogen production pathways are then classified and linked to cooperative and non-cooperative game-theoretic models to evaluate optimal collaboration strategies between licensors and project developers. Our analysis shows that non-cooperative models dominate when technologies exhibit low-to-medium technology maturity and smaller market growth, such as Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC), Anion-Exchange Membrane electrolysis (AEM), or Turquoise technology process. A mix of cooperative and non-cooperative games is included in Strategic contexts, such as Proton-Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysis, Alkaline Water Electrolysis (AWE) green hydrogen, grey and blue hydrogen technology process, where patent complementarities and balanced bargaining power foster joint innovation. The proposed classification offers a structured pathway to bridge procurement strategy, market structure and innovation governance in the hydrogen sector, and it helps project developers to identify which technologies carry higher HHI, which game-theoretic strategy should be applied to achieve more effective cooperative outcomes.

The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) complicates treatment and highlights the need for local surveillance to guide antimicrobial stewardship. This study investigated the epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and seasonal trends of respiratory bacterial pathogens in a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on 5582 respiratory specimens collected between January 2023 and December 2025. Samples included tracheal aspirates, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, throat swabs, pleural fluids, ear swabs, and nasal swabs. Bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed using the VITEK® 2 Compact system and interpreted according to CLSI M100-S35 guidelines. Statistical analyses included Chi-square tests and logistic regression. Results: Culture positivity was 38.6% (2154/5582), with tracheal aspirates and sputum accounting for the most positive specimens. The predominant pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (31.9%), Klebsiella spp. (21.3%), Staphylococcus aureus (10.2%), Serratia marcescens (6.3%), Escherichia coli (5.7%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (5.5%). Culture positivity increased significantly with age (p< 0.001), with Gram-negative bacteria predominating in older patients. MDROs were slightly prevalent, including, carbapenem-resistant organisms (22.9%) and ESBL producers (12.3%). The highest MDRO burden occurred in intensive care and other high-acuity wards. Seasonal analysis demonstrated a significant increase in MDRO prevalence during the summer months, with carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens rising from 18.2% in the winter to 28.7% in the summer (OR 1.82, 95% CI: 1.45– 2.28; p< 0.001).

The selected literature is analyzed using a structured systematic review method to pinpoint key research themes, drivers for implementation, technological innovations, barriers, and outcomes related to sustainability in biogas energy systems. The findings categorize the main factors affecting biogas development into five major areas: availability of feedstock, anaerobic digestion technology, recovery and use of resources, policy and financial support, and applications of end-use energy.

A sensitivity analysis explored the impact of variables such as air contactor parameters, solvent concentration, temperature, pressure, and moisture content on system performance. The results demonstrated that adjusting the Ca (OH)₂ flow rate to 760 t.h-1 achieves a 75% CO₂ capture rate at the air contactor, while maintaining an inlet air pressure of 1.1 atm enhances absorption. The CO2 capture rate increased gradually with the increase of inlet air temperature. The highest CO2 capture rate of 92% is given at 40°C, and 4% H2O content is in the inlet air. However, the impact of the moisture content is negligible. Furthermore, structured packing materials like BX packing outperformed Mellapak 250Y and Mellapak 350Y in efficiency.

Optimization of the KOH ratio, microwave irradiation power, and activation time gave rise to a product with a BET surface area of 1349 m2 g−1 and total pore volume of 0.78 cm3 g−1, which represented 165 times and 78 times enhancement compared with that of the initial lignite, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images proved the formation of a hierarchical macropore–mesopore–micropore structure, whereas Raman (ID/IG = 1.83) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analyses revealed a graphitic-like structure rich in defects with the existence of C=O and C–O–C functional groups involved in the Lewis acid–base interaction between L-AC and CO2 molecules. Dynamic fixed-bed breakthrough tests performed at temperatures of 298, 328, and 353 K under post-combustion relevant conditions (CO2 concentration: 15%, pressure: 1 atm) yielded CO2 equilibrium uptake capacities of 47.34, 34.37, and 21.34 mg g−1, respectively, with outstanding cyclic stability achieved after six consecutive adsorption–desorption cycles of temperature swing adsorption–desorption at 393 K. Among the seven nonlinear kinetic models, the Avrami, FL-PFO, and general-order models exhibited the highest fitting accuracy (R2 = 0.9994–0.9998), suggesting that CO2 adsorption onto L-AC proceeds through heterogeneous, multi-stage adsorption kinetics. A Weber–Morris intra-particle diffusion analysis identified a three-stage sequential transport mechanism in which mesopore diffusion constitutes the primary rate-limiting step. Thermodynamic parameters confirmed spontaneous (ΔG° = −24.20 to −26.87 kJ mol−1), exothermic (ΔH° = −9.42 kJ mol−1), and entropy-assisted adsorption (ΔS° = +49.93 J mol−1 K−1) consistent with a physisorption mechanism, corroborated by a low activation energy of 9.11 kJ mol−1. These findings demonstrate the viability of low-rank lignite as a low-cost precursor for the scalable synthesis of high-performance carbonaceous CO2 adsorbents for post-combustion capture applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms27146123","authors":["Anusorn Boonpoke","Sirasit Meesiri","Saksit Imman","Boonyawan Yoosuk","Wajussakorn KANJANA","Surachai Wongcharee"],"tags":["Adsorption","Chemistry","Diffusion","Activated carbon","Scanning electron microscope"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms27146123","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7167540029","name":"Advances in Unconventional Reservoir Development and CO2 Storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Driven by global carbon neutrality targets and demand for a long-term stable energy supply, unconventional petroleum resources such as shale oil, tight oil and fractured carbonate reservoirs have become indispensable components of worldwide energy structures [...]","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr14132194","authors":["Xiukun Wang","Yuxin Pang","J W Liu","Kerui Liu"],"tags":["Petroleum engineering","Tight oil","Oil shale","Unconventional oil","Petroleum"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr14132194","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W4389499269","name":"United Kingdom's Action Plan for Power Sector Decarbonisation","source":"openalex","abstract":"A collaborative report from the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) on Lessons Learned for Rapid Decarbonization of Power Sectors was delivered to energy ministers and presented at CEM13 in the United States in September 2022.

This study explores the use of natural fibers (NF) to promote this process and the transport of CO 2 into the composites. For this, cement mortars reinforced with alfa fibers (AF) were fabricated, varying the fiber content (0.2% and 0.4%), and subjected to an experimental ACC, evaluating their performance after different carbon exposure periods (6, 12, 24, and 48 h). Carbon uptake was determined by the phenolphthalein method in combination with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The microstructure was explored using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). In addition, mechanical properties were analyzed using flexural and compressive strength tests. The findings confirmed that AF accelerates carbon penetration, with increased fiber content resulting in a higher carbonation rate, while TGA revealed the formation of calcium carbonates, particularly after 48 h. SEM images exhibited optimal fiber-matrix bonding and porous channels promoting CO 2 diffusion, consistent with the MIP results. Regarding mechanical properties, the integrated approach of ACC and AF incorporation improved the flexural performance, whereas compressive strength remained barely unaffected. The results of this study suggest the feasibility of using NF to enhance carbonation in cementitious composites, and their potential for carbon capture, utilization, and storage applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mtcomm.2026.115734","authors":["A.

The streams were impacted by effluents from the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP). PCBs were rarely detected in water samples. Aroclor 1248 detections in sediments and floodplains were sporadic, but 1254 and 1260 were consistent. Seasonal variations were only observed for Aroclor 1248. Detection of PCBs in floodplains indicated recent influx of contaminated sediments. Species-specific PCB residues patterns were studied for Lepomis cyanellus, L. megalotis, L. macrochirus, and Campostoma anomalum. Highest PCB concentrations were found in stoneroller minnows. PCBs decreased over time in sunfish species, but retained a baseline level. No relationships were found between sunfish age and PCB concentrations. At low PCB levels, green sunfish body burden (BB) did not correlate with lipid content. A certain PCB concentration must be exceeded before PCB BB correlates with lipid content. Stream flows differed by season, and fish PCB BB differed by season, but stream flow did not correlate with fish BB. Congener groups corresponded to Aroclor concentrations. Higher chlorinated biphenyls peaked in the spring for sport fish. PCBs remobilized in the spring resulted in higher summer BB for the stoneroller minnows, whereas sunfish eliminated PCBs by summer. This variability was due to the sunfishs ability to regulate PCBs. Metal concentrations did not display the seasonal variability evident in the PCB data. Water metals may have peaked during storm events and decreased rapidly. Water Pb increased with time, but the source could not determined. Zinc in Little Bayou creek likely originated from the PGDP. Except for Cu and Zn, stoneroller minnow metal BB decreased with time. Metal BB were used to determine bioavailable fractions. Less than half of the water column Cd, Cr, Fe, and Pb in impacted areas were bioavailable to stoneroller minnows, whereas 59% of Ag, 73% of Cu, and 64% of Zn were bioavailable. Cumulative criterion units were calculated to determine additive metal impacts, and proved useful in locating sectors with possible ecological impact.

Energy-from-waste (EfW) technologies recover energy from mixed waste streams, generating electricity and heat. However, for every tonne of MSW incinerated, 0.7–1.7 tonnes of CO 2 is emitted. Integrating carbon capture and storage (CCS) into EfW (EfW + CCS) presents a promising pathway to mitigate these emissions yet remains constrained by high costs and decreased energy efficiency. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of EfW + CCS, using a combined techno-economic and life cycle assessments approach. A thermodynamic steady-state model was developed in Aspen Plus to evaluate mass and energy balances for both standalone EfW and EfW + CCS. Results show that an EfW + CCS system with 250 ktpa capacity and 80% capture rate incurs a 35% energy penalty and increases capital (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX) both by 30%. Additionally, the system results in a positive net present value, 2.7% return on investment and a levelised cost of electricity of £163/MWh, but extended payback period from 4.5 to 8.3 years compared to standalone EfW. The life cycle assessment results showed a 33% reduction in global warming potential (GWP), though monoethanolamine production and carbon capture infrastructure increased other impacts. This study suggests that the current carbon price of £49.4/t CO 2 is insufficient to incentivise CCS deployment, with a required subsidy estimated at £178/t CO 2 captured. Furthermore, ammonia use for NO x removal strongly influenced GWP and OPEX, with 60% NO x removal resulting in a reduction of 41% in GWP and increasing OPEX by 19% compared to standalone EfW.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2026.148920","authors":["Janna Aljoubory","Eleni Iacovidou","Kok Siew Ng"],"tags":["Tonne","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Life-cycle assessment","Payback period","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2026.148920","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7128995591","name":"Exploring Dynamics of Korea’s Short-Term Energy Transition: A Multi-Level Perspective Approach","source":"openalex","abstract":"The energy transition takes a long time and requires a complex process involving stakeholder consensus. This study aims to explore the political, economic, and sociocultural dynamics that emerged during the short-term energy transition between the Moon and Yoon administrations in Korea, assessing the current energy transition, which stands at a crossroads, and provides conclusions and implications to inform future decisions on the findings. To this purpose, a multi-level perspective analytical framework was applied to investigate the two administrations’ conflicting energy transition mechanisms on the level of actors, technologies, and rules/institutions. According to the results, the Moon administration pursued a reconfiguration pathway of limited changes by attempting to phase out nuclear power plants and expand renewable energy, while the Yoon administration promoted a transformation pathway of partial change by abandoning the policy of phasing out nuclear power plants and further expanding existing nuclear energy. Differences in pathways were found to stem from differentiation based on political ideology and political purposes among key actors, rather than socio-technological innovation. This paper argues that Korea’s short-term energy transition was hastily pursued amidst a lack of public discourse, insufficient technological development, and institutional deficiencies, ultimately blocking the pathway to a desirable energy transition and having Korea locked in its existing energy system. This paper also suggests that no single pathway exists to carbon neutrality, and that future administrations can find desirable pathways by overcoming challenges and dilemmas through continuous improvement and adjustment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en19041037","authors":["Myunghee Kim"],"tags":["Energy transition","Nuclear power","Sociotechnical system","Renewable energy","Stakeholder"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en19041037","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W4385439988","name":"Cosa sta facendo l'Europa per la decarbonizzazione del settore industriale?

O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar o exame citopatológico e o teste de DNA-HPV no rastreamento do câncer de colo de útero na Atenção Primária à Saúde, analisando evidências, vantagens e limitações. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa de literatura realizada nas bases PubMed, SciELO, LILACS e Google Acadêmico, incluindo publicações entre 2000 e 2025 que abordassem rastreamento do câncer cervical. O Papanicolau, amplamente disponível e de baixo custo, contribuiu para a redução da incidência do câncer cervical, mas apresenta baixa sensibilidade (50%-60%), necessitando de exames frequentes. Já o DNA-HPV apresenta maior sensibilidade (90%-95%), permitindo intervalos de até cinco anos e maior cobertura, inclusive com kits de autocoleta, embora com menor especificidade e custos mais elevados. Experiências internacionais e recentes diretrizes nacionais recomendam a adoção progressiva do DNA-HPV como método primário de rastreamento, mantendo o Papanicolau como teste reflexo para casos positivos. Conclui-se que o DNA-HPV representa avanço importante para o rastreamento do câncer de colo de útero, com potencial para ampliar a detecção precoce e reduzir a mortalidade.

The aim of the thesis was to assess under what conditions BECCS and BECCU could emerge and scale up in Finland as technically, economically, and climate politically feasible solutions. The thesis focused especially on the EU Emissions Trading System and other legal instruments, such as the legal status of carbon removal certification, monitoring and renewable energy solutions which influence the development of infrastructure, market formation, and future deployment of these technologies. The study is based on a literature review and empirical section. The literature review examines the historical development of these technologies, considering the different factors influencing their development, their technical feasibility at a general level, the broader legislative framework in which they operate, and their economic viability. The empirical section consists of nine semi-structured expert interviews and supplementary public material, based on which Finnish actors’ views on the future opportunities and barriers of BECCS and BECCU technologies in Finland were assessed. The results indicate that Finland has a significant number of biogenic carbon dioxide sources, but the deployment of these technologies is not based only on technical feasibility. BECCS is primarily based on permanent storage of carbon removals. BECCU focuses on low-carbon products that replace fossil-based alternatives. The key conditions for deployment are legally supported markets, sufficient revenues, functioning infrastructure through the whole value chain, reliable verification of environmental impacts, and sufficient sociotechnical predictability. The conclusion of the thesis is that under current sociotechnical conditions and market mechanisms, rapid system-level scaling of these technologies is not expected. Instead, the deployment is more likely to happen through limited anchor projects at the project level.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7203962942","authors":["Jesse Ylikraka"],"tags":["Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage","Software deployment","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Renewable energy","Sociotechnical system"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-08","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7164847435","name":"System Integration of Green Hydrogen and E-fuels: Multi-level Energy System Modelling Perspectives","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.54337/aau836026166","authors":["Frederik Dahl Nielsen"],"tags":["Environmental science","Energy (signal processing)","System integration","Energy system","Hydrogen"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.54337/aau836026166","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7147716295","name":"India’s energy transition and geological CO2 storage opportunities","source":"openalex","abstract":"As India’s economy continues to grow, the nation faces the dual challenge of meeting its increasing energy demand while simultaneously addressing its climate commitments. As of 2020, India's total greenhouse gas emissions reached approximately 2.9 Gt CO₂-equivalent, with the energy sector accounting for 75.6% of these emissions (India Climate and Energy Dashboard). In contrast, hard-to-abate sectors—such as iron and steel, cement, and chemical industries—contributed 8.06% of total emissions. In response, India has undertaken an ambitious energy transition, aiming to substantially increase its renewable energy capacity. By December 2024, the country’s installed renewable energy capacity had reached approximately 210 GW, comprising 46.3% of the total power mix. India has set a target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based energy capacity by 2030, with the aim of meeting 50% of its total electricity demand from renewable sources. Despite this significant shift toward clean energy, emissions from hard-to-abate sectors are expected to persist in the foreseeable future. In this context, geological carbon storage (GCS) emerges as a critical strategy for achieving gigaton-scale CO₂ removal. Although GCS in India remains at the early stage of viability assessment, with no pilot-scale implementation to date, this study presents two site-specific investigations targeting distinct reservoir types—basalt and coal-shale formations—particularly relevant to emissions from hard-to-abate sectors. These formations were selected based on their extensive geographic distribution and substantial storage potential, estimated at 96–316 Gt CO₂ for the Deccan Traps and approximately 20 TCF of storage capacity in the Raniganj Coal–Shale Formation (Bakshi et al., 2023).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1190/image2025-w05-02.1","authors":["Nimisha Vedanti","Dip Das"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Greenhouse gas","Environmental science","Natural resource economics","Climate change mitigation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1190/image2025-w05-02.1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7165022419","name":"Near‐Death Experiences in Adult ICU Patients: A Scoping Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Near-death experiences occur in approximately 15% of intensive care unit survivors. Despite their profound impact on post-intensive care syndrome and long-term psychological recovery, near-death experiences remain under-addressed in clinical settings. AIM: To systematically map and synthesize evidence regarding the subjective experiences, influencing factors, assessment tools, and prognostic impacts of near-death experiences in adult intensive care unit patients, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview and solid reference for clinical identification and future research. STUDY DESIGN: Scoping review. Guided by a scoping review framework, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and VIP Database, from database inception to April 17, 2026. Data from the included literature were subsequently extracted and synthesized. RESULTS: Seven included studies (five prospective cohorts, one qualitative, one mixed-methods) revealed that adult intensive care unit patients experience multidimensional near-death experiences (cognitive, affective, supernatural, and transcendental). The Greyson near-death experience scale is the primary, albeit limited, assessment tool. Prognostically, near-death experiences produce vivid, stable long-term memories and elevate spiritual needs; however, their impacts on psychosocial states and death attitudes remain heterogeneous. CONCLUSION: The near-death experiences of adult intensive care unit survivors constitute a unique and multidimensional subjective experience, the understanding of which requires both optimized assessment tools and a deeper integration of neurobiological and psychological frameworks. While increased religious interest and memory stability are evident, the persistent contradictions in psychosocial outcomes suggest that specific disease trajectories and cultural factors play a critical moderating role. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Within clinical intensive care unit practice, it is paramount to promptly identify near-death experiences by evaluating patients' multifaceted subjective experiences and providing proactive, effective support, as this plays a critical role in facilitating psychological recovery and improving long-term prognosis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/nicc.70532","authors":["Kailai Gu","Jingying Huang","Jie Yang","Huiqin Shi","Mengbo Han"],"tags":["Psychosocial","Intensive care unit","Relevance (law)","Psychology","MEDLINE"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/nicc.70532","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7167728695","name":"Acid Drop-Out in Carbon Capture and Transport Systems: Causes, Consequences, and Countermeasures","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology can play an important role in meeting net-zero ambitions; however, its successful deployment depends on the transport and storage infrastructure for CO2, as they are the backbone of the carbon management industry.

This review focuses on understanding the effects of specific combinations of impurities on CO2 phase envelopes, acid formation, and corrosion mechanisms in pipelines under realistic flow and operating conditions. It further assesses mitigation and design strategies, including impurity specification and control, deep dehydration, operational envelope management, corrosion-resistant alloys, internal linings and advanced coatings, and emerging modeling tools for predicting corrosive dropout. The knowledge gap in long-term performance under multi-impurity conditions, thermo-hydraulic transients, and coupled corrosion damage is highlighted.

Nuclear power is clean and efficient, mainly when using small modular reactors (SMRs), which increase power generation, improve system flexibility, and promote a low‐carbon economy. This paper proposes a bi‐layer scheduling framework for a SMR‐connected integrated energy system (SMR‐IES) to optimize operating cost, carbon emissions, and average demand‐side flexibility during the peak period index. The first layer optimizes the multi‐objective operation of SMR‐IES using a hybrid of the improved augmented ε ‐constraint method and the modified technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution approach. This framework incorporates a ladder‐type carbon trading mechanism alongside a multi‐energy demand response program with a comprehensive user satisfaction index to account for carbon emissions throughout the entire process while enhancing demand‐side flexibility for the SMR‐IES. The second layer handles uncertainties using the information gap decision theory approach. The proposed method can determine a scheduling operation with predicted renewable energy sources, load, and energy price errors while keeping optimal objective values within acceptable bounds not higher than 35% of the nominal optimal values ( β = 0.35). Moreover, the proposed method offers a more efficient approach to managing uncertainty than stochastic and robust optimization methods.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/er/1046502","authors":["Pham Van Phu","Truong Hoang Bao Huy","Tien-Dat Le","Tien Dung Le","Seongkeun Park","Daehee Kim"],"tags":["Flexibility (engineering)","Modular design","Scheduling (production processes)","Renewable energy","Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1155/er/1046502","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7166716390","name":"A High-Precision Geo-Spatial-Techno-Economic Framework for CO 2 Source-Sink Pairing: Land-Sea Synergy and Cross-Regional Coalitions in China","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide China suffers from a severe geospatial mismatch between industrial and energy CO 2 emission sources and geological storage sinks, while existing carbon storage assessments lack national-scale high-resolution and land-sea synergy analysis.

The potential for low-kaolinite clays to produce SCMs is of great interest to the UK construction and minerals sectors. The research project, Engineered UK clays for production of low-carbon cements (informally known as EUREKA), aims to identify sources of low-kaolinite, clay-rich lithologies across the UK that have potential for use as SCM. Clay was identified and sampled from boreholes, brickworks, cement works, hard rock quarries, infra-structure developments, and sand and gravel pits across the UK. These included mudstones, shales, intrabasaltic palaeosols and glacial sediments. Total clay, carbonate and kaolinite contents were used to screen the clays for potential cementitious reactivity. Shortlisted clay resources will be taken forward for larger scale calcination trials and concrete testing. Prelim-inary results of a Life Cycle Assessment indicate that substitution of cement clinker by 30% would require around 2.8 million tonnes of clay to be extracted and calcined; increase that substitution to 50% and this increases to around 4.6 million tonnes of clay.

The frequent water blocking issue sharply reduces gas relative permeability during the production period, severely limiting well productivity. In this study, core flooding experiments using artificial cores were conducted to systematically evaluate the feasibility of CO2 injection for enhanced gas recovery (EGR). The results show that the effectiveness of CO2 EGR is sensitive to many factors, such as injection pressure, injection rate, total injection volume, and core permeability. The higher injection pressure and rate would improve the pressure gradient, CO2 sweep efficiency, and EGR. An optimal total volume with the value (around 2.0 pore volumes, PV) was recommended as the amount of CO2 injection are varied in the range of 0.5–2.5 PV. A higher permeable tight reservoir is prone to a higher nature gas recovery.

Taking Shanghai Electric Power as a representative integrated energy enterprise, this paper draws on transaction cost, categorized governance and triple bottom line theories. It distinguishes internal and external transformation drivers, constructs an integrated system covering unit retrofits, renewable energy expansion, industrial chain extension, digital low-carbon innovation and market-based support, and establishes a three-dimensional performance framework encompassing finance, environment and society. Empirical analysis based on the firm’s long-term operational data reveals that policy-market constraints and internal operational upgrades jointly fuel low-carbon reform. While heavy capital outlays trigger short-term profit pressures, transformation optimizes business portfolios, cuts environmental costs and boosts corporate value in the long run.

This study presents a comprehensive techno–enviro–economic assessment of 17 hydrogen production methods. The assessment results were used to identify the optimal hydrogen production methods under a Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework using an integrated analytical hierarchy process (AHP)–technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) framework. Eight criteria were evaluated—energy efficiency, technology readiness level (TRL), production rate, CO2 emissions, water consumption, CAPEX, OPEX, and levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH). AHP-derived criterion weights were energy efficiency: 34%, TRL: 18%, production rate: 10%, CO2 emissions: 4%, H2O consumption: 8%, LCOH: 4%, CAPEX: 13%, and OPEX: 8%—with an acceptable consistency ratio (CR = 0.06). Data gaps were addressed using multiple linear regression. TOPSIS rankings identified Steam Methane Reforming (SMR, Ci=0.77) as the most viable pathway, followed by Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC, Ci=0.76), and Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM, Ci=0.71). Emerging photolytic and biological pathways ranked lowest because of their low TRLs and economics. Under the adopted criteria and weighting scheme, SMR+CCS demonstrated short-term transition potential while electrolysis pathways provide long-term sustainability.

Previous medical history was unknown as she had arrived in Italy one month before and her son was not aware of it. Upon arrival she was soporous and bradicardic. Physical examination consisted of mild pulmonary rales, diffuse abdominal pain and leg edema. ECG showed a third–degree atrioventricular block with narrow QRS and average heart rate of 40 bpm with no signs of ischemia. X–ray showed mild congestion. She was admitted to CCU. Blood tests showed hypoglicemia (53 mg/dL), anemia (Hb 9.9g/dL), low platelet count, renal dysfunction (creatinine 1.43mg/dL), high C–reactive protein, normal potassium but high calcemia (13 mg/dL). To investigate hypercalcemia parathyroid hormone was dosed and was in range, so a CT scan was needed to rule out pancreatitis, cancer or bone lesions. Also a cardiac echo was done: it showed a hypertrophic left ventricle with preserved contractility, no significant valvular dysfunctions, normal right sections with pulmonary hypertension, no pericardial effusion. While performing the subcostal view however multiple formations were seen at the hepatic level. CT scan confirmed multiple pathological conglomerating lymphadenopathies in the abdomen towards the femoral region, reaching 5 cm of diameter; no bone lesions were found. Inguinal lymph node biopsy was performed. Due to persistent complete AV block along with persistent hypercalcemia and hypoglycemia despite medical therapy, considering the electrolyte imbalance not corrigible due to a malignancy a pacemaker was implanted. The result of the lymph node biopsy was consistent with a form of Diffuse Large B–Cell Lymphoma. This case highlights how a 3–rd degree AV block may present with non–specific symptoms. When it is found it may not always represent a pure cardiac problem as sometimes it is the epiphenomenon of a systemic disease. Particularity of this case is that cardiologists are less used to take into consideration calcium balance. Nevertheless, although infrequent, hypercalcemia is a cause of significant conduction disease. After having looked for it, searching for its etiology is mandatory as some could be reversible and thus the AV block as well. For this reason, when a complete AV block is found ruling out hypercalcemia is fundamental, taking into consideration that the conduction disease may represent the first red flag of an unknown malignancy","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/suac012.369","authors":["A Reggi","Michele Russo","Andrea Rubboli"],"tags":["Medicine","Atrioventricular block","Internal medicine","Cardiology","Surgery"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-05-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/suac012.369","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7167248471","name":"MULHERES MIGRANTES E CUIDADO ONCOLÓGICO NA FRONTEIRA BRASIL–PARAGUAI: BARREIRAS, ACESSO E DESAFIOS ORGANIZACIONAIS","source":"openalex","abstract":"Este estudo analisou o acesso ao cuidado oncológico e aspectos da organização dos serviços de saúde na região de fronteira de Foz do Iguaçu (PR), a partir da percepção de mulheres migrantes em tratamento para câncer do colo do útero.

The interaction among these choices is often described as complementary, but complementarity depends on sequencing, sectoral fit, methane control, and credible limits on fossil-fuel lock-in. This narrative review synthesizes international evidence on CCS performance, storage security, costs, residual emissions, and methane with Indonesia’s evolving legal architecture. CCS has a defensible role in hard-to-abate industrial processes and in managing concentrated carbon-dioxide streams where low-carbon substitutes remain limited. Its case is weaker when used to prolong inefficient power assets or delay available renewable and efficiency options. Natural gas can have lower life-cycle emissions than coal, yet its transitional value is conditional on low methane intensity, limited asset lifetime, operational flexibility, and consistency with declining carbon budgets. Indonesia’s Presidential Regulation No. 14/2024, Ministerial Regulations No. 2/2023 and No. 16/2024, renewable-power framework, and Presidential Regulation No. 110/2025 create important legal foundations. Nevertheless, bankable and socially legitimate deployment requires clearer source–sink planning, measurement and verification, long-term storage liability, methane standards, financial additionality, community participation, and rules preventing double counting. The review proposes a sequenced governance hierarchy: prioritize efficiency and renewable electricity; constrain gas to time-bound system functions; and allocate CCS to residual industrial emissions under high capture, monitoring, and liability standards. Regulatory credibility, rather than technological optimism alone, will determine whether CCS accelerates decarbonization or locks in fossil dependence.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59535/sehati.v4i3.701","authors":["Riska Ayu Fitri","Muh.

With around 50% of the UK’s theoretical storage resource situated in the Central North Sea region, sandstones of Paleogene age are identified as a significant open aquifer storage concept. The system is characterized by a complex sequence of stacked and amalgamated fan sandstones. This study identifies some of the key challenges that will impact the future exploitation of the potential CO2 storage resource. Storage capacity estimates were first extracted from the UK’s online CO2 storage atlas, with the Mey and Forties sandstones identified amongst the units with the greatest potential. A substantial subsurface database was interpreted to identify and explore the key issues. The stacked and amalgamated nature of the sandstones leads to potential for lateral and vertical connectivity within and between different reservoir units. This can be potentially both a positive aspect in terms of multi-layered trapping potential and pressure dispersal, but also poses a challenge in terms of unwanted fluid migration. The study concludes that understanding pressure connectivity is a particularly important key to unlocking the CO2 storage capacity of the Paleogene saline aquifer systems of the Central North Sea.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.202622054","authors":["J.

This study integrates the Tapio decoupling model, the geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) model, and an author-developed LEAP-YRB v5 macro-sectoral hybrid model to examine 95 prefecture-level cities from 2010 to 2022 and to project energy consumption and carbon emissions for the nine YRB provincial-level regions from 2022 to 2060. The results show that: (1) the urban decoupling status fluctuated among expansive coupling, strong decoupling, and weak decoupling, with weak decoupling becoming dominant and increasing to 62 cities in 2022; (2) per capita GDP and urbanization tended to increase the decoupling index and therefore inhibited decoupling, whereas more intensive construction-land use promoted decoupling, and industrial structure upgrading and green patents showed context-dependent effects; and (3) the basin cannot peak its emissions under the business-as-usual scenario, while the policy-driven scenario peaks at approximately 3.357 billion tons of CO2 around 2030. Under the carbon-neutrality-oriented scenario, net emissions decline substantially to 825 million tons by 2060, indicating deep decarbonization but not full carbon neutrality.

Agentes públicos e privados balizam suas expectativas, reduzem as incertezas e direcionam suas ações, tomando como referência marcos de médio e longo prazos, que expressam expectativas de crescimento do mercado. São apresentadas políticas públicas de suporte ao surgimento e à expansão do mercado do hidrogênio de baixo carbono, tendo como referência estudos da Agência Internacional de Energia (International Energy Agency – IEA) e iniciativas em curso no mercado brasileiro, como a Chamada Estratégica de Projetos de Pesquisa, Desenvolvimento e Inovação (PDI) no 23/2024: Hidrogênio no Contexto do Setor Elétrico Brasileiro, da Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (Aneel, 2024). O ano de 2030 pode ser tomado como um importante marco temporal de médio prazo, sobre o qual é preciso construir uma visão que venha a ser compartilhada, considerada crível, pelos agentes públicos e privados, sobre metas e objetivos relacionados à produção e à demanda de hidro-gênio. É preciso que a cadeia de valor se movimente de forma coordenada, visando a objetivos comuns, com sincronismos de tempo e de movimento. As projeções da IEA apontam que, até 2030, é esperado que o mercado mundial do hidrogênio venha a crescer 54% em relação ao atual patamar de produção (2023), atingindo 150 Mt.1 Desse total, é estimado que 70 Mt sejam de hidrogênio de baixo carbono, sendo 51 Mt com base na rota eletrolítica, e 19 Mt com base no gás natural, com captura e armazenamento de carbono (carbon capture, utilization and storage – CCUS). Os anúncios e as intenções de investimento nessa indústria se multiplicam diariamente em todo o mundo, somando mais de 520 GW2 de capacidade. No entanto, apenas 7% desse montante têm se transformado em decisões finais de investimento (FIDs), conforme a IEA (2024a). Esse descompasso é observável tanto nos principais mercados mundiais quanto no Brasil. A IEA e outras referências na área de energias renováveis, como a Agência Internacional de Energia Renovável (International Renewable Energy Agency – Irena), não apontam, em suas projeções, participação do hidrogênio produzido a partir da reforma do etanol, com uso de processos de gaseificação. Essa rota tecnológica, no caso brasileiro, é uma alternativa promissora para a produção de hidrogênio renovável, mas que ainda se encontra em fase inicial de desenvolvimento. Desse modo, independentemente da participação maior ou menor de uma ou outra rota tecnológica, a expansão do mercado do hidrogênio de baixo carbono, no Brasil, dependerá, nos próximos anos, em grande medida, da velocidade com que venham a ocorrer: i) a precificação das emissões de carbono em setores específicos; ii) os ganhos de escala na produção dos eletrolisadores, reduzindo o valor das despesas de capital (capital expenditures – Capex); iii) a elevação dos indicadores de eficiência tecnológica ao longo da cadeia de valor; iv) a maturação e a difusão de rotas tecnológicas que fazem uso de biomassa; e iv) a redução no preço das energias renováveis. A atuação desses vetores tem potencial para eliminar o gap de preços hoje existente entre o hidrogênio de baixo carbono e o hidrogênio de origem fóssil: principal obstáculo à expansão da indústria. Estratégias gradualistas são aquelas em que projetos-demonstração ou projetos-piloto, em escala comercial, antecedem os projetos em larga escala, permitindo que seja observada, em menor grau de risco, a performance técnica, operacional e financeira. O uso local do hidrogênio de baixo carbono, no mercado interno, é priorizado antes que haja um direcionamento para o mercado externo. As iniciativas de políticas públicas em curso no Brasil, como a Chamada Estratégica de PDI no 023/2024 (Aneel, 2024) e o Programa de Desenvolvimento do Hidrogênio de Baixa Emissão de Carbono (PHBC), poderão viabilizar iniciativ","url":"https://doi.org/10.38116/td3082-port","authors":["Nelson Siffert","Kátia Rocha"],"tags":["Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.38116/td3082-port","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400412631","name":"Climate For CCS","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cind.10308","authors":[],"tags":["Environmental science","Climatology","Geology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cind.10308","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7170040462","name":"Geomechanical Characterisation Analysis of Reservoirs Based on Well Logging Data for CO₂ Injection Applications","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study investigates reservoir geomechanical characterization for CO₂ injection applications in the Akimeugah Basin using well-logging and 2D seismic data as the basis for constructing a one-dimensional Mechanical Earth Model (MEM) for well FRD2.

An integrated, multidisciplinary workflow was employed, combining two-dimensional (2D) seismic interpretation, petrophysical evaluation, and 3D static reservoir modelling to characterise the structural framework, assess reservoir quality, and quantify the anticipated CO 2 storage volume. Structural interpretation reveals a fault-bounded anticlinal trap with three-way dip closures against NE-SW and NW-SE trending normal faults, suggesting geological conditions favourable for lateral containment. The reservoir shows a well-defined oil-water contact at 4,200 ft and a hydrocarbon column of 300 ft. Stratigraphic interpretation indicates a thick, regionally extensive caprock system (Khoman and Apollonia formations) overlying the sandstone reservoir. Petrophysical analysis of the Abu Roash-A sandstone indicates low to moderate shale content (Vsh up to 0.25 in northeastern zones, lower in southwestern areas), favourable porosity (15%–24%), and moderate permeability (mean ∼12.5 mD, reaching up to 150 mD) across the structural crest, identifying the elevated block between wells BS-5X and BS-11 as the optimal injection interval. Probabilistic storage calculations yield an estimated CO 2 capacity ranging from 20 Mt (low scenario) to 140 Mt (high scenario), with a base case of approximately 60 Mt, and the central and southwestern sectors showing the highest potential.

However, their potency varies substantially across pathogen species, making accurate prediction of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for specific peptide-pathogen pairs essential for prioritizing candidates before costly experimental validation. Existing predictors are trained mainly on a few well-represented pathogens and rarely exploit biological relationships across species, limiting their generalization to low-resource and unseen pathogens. We introduce PathoMIC, the largest and most pathogen-diverse unified dataset for quantitative antimicrobial peptide activity prediction, containing 74,751 experimentally reported MIC measurements across 424 pathogen species. PathoMIC integrates peptide sequences, standardized MIC values, pathogen descriptions, and taxonomic relationships to facilitate knowledge transfer across related species. We establish few-shot and zero-shot cross-species evaluation protocols and develop a knowledge-enhanced framework that leverages pathogen descriptions and taxonomy.

Cement production contributes approximately 7% of global CO2 emissions, largely due to fossil fuel-powered clinker formation at around 1450 degrees C. Key challenges include heavy reliance on fossil-derived thermal energy, inefficient thermal energy utilization, and process emissions from calcination reactions. This research proposes an integrated decarbonization framework by electrification of the cement-making process and by incorporating green e-hydrogen, on-site wind and solar photovoltaic power generation, and a hybrid energy storage system comprising sodium-ion batteries and a molten carbonate fuel cell. Case studies across three European locations, with diverse renewable energy resources and climatic conditions demonstrate the broad applicability and effectiveness of the proposed system. The results show that a hybrid wind-solar setup could achieve up to a 45% emission reduction compared to the state-of-the-art, showing the system's significant CO2 mitigation potential. The technologies are scalable and adaptable beyond the case study locations offering a general solution to significantly reduce CO2 emissions from cement production. Energy system costs of $252-285/MWh for wind-based systems, $247-272/MWh for hybrid solar-wind configurations, and $249-277/MWh for solar-based systems were achieved by electrifying the cement-making process.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2026.142090","authors":["Naime Ahmadi","Sayan Das","Ahmad Reshad Delawary","Simone Mataloni","Laura-Lucia Richter","Markus Salmelin","Luigi Jacopo Santa Maria","J.

CO 2 -enhanced brine recovery (CO 2 -EWR) can both store CO 2 on a large scale and effectively exploit brine resources, and it has been adopted as an important carbon emission reduction technology in the Junggar Basin. This paper systematically analyzes and summarizes the application of CO 2 sequestration combined with water extraction strategy in this region. Key insights include: 1) The area features high-permeability conditions suitable for carbon sequestration, which can further increase CO 2 storage capacity and mitigate overpressure-induced risks, and meanwhile the low-permeability caprock prevents leakage risks; 2) Saline aquifers in the Junggar Basin are primarily composed of loose rock types like gravel and medium-coarse sand, with low cementation strength and poor mechanical stability. Under the combined effects of high permeability and weak mechanical strength, fluid flow intensifies shear and erosion on rock matrix particles, leading to particle detachment and migration, consequently causing sand production during CO 2 -EWR implementation; 3) The mechanisms governing particle detachment during CO 2 -EWR remain unclear, necessitating the related experimental and theoretical studies. Particularly, extensive experimental research should be conducted in conjunction with the aquifer lithology and hydrogeological conditions to understand the relevant processes and determine the associated influencing factors and critical conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202671501009","authors":["Zhexi Wang"],"tags":["Caprock","Aquifer","Geology","Cementation (geology)","Lithology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202671501009","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7164026608","name":"A Transversalidade na Assistência à Saúde da Mulher no Brasil: um olhar para as condições sociais, culturais, de gênero e de saúde - Vol. 2","source":"openalex","abstract":"Esta obra resulta de um esforço colaborativo que reuniu professores, estudantes e pesquisadores, cujo engajamento qualificou as reflexões desenvolvidas neste espaço formativo.

This study introduces a novel cross-linked quaternary ammonium-based acrylamide hydrogel (QAAHG), synthesized via free-radical copolymerization of acrylamide (AAm) and (4-vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride (VBTAC) and evaluates its performance as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Beyond standard inhibition, the hydrogel’s 3D network provides a unique structural framework for the dense orientation of quaternary ammonium groups at the metal-electrolyte interface. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the presence of amide carbonyl and quaternary ammonium C-N functional groups, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the entirely amorphous nature of the hydrogel matrix. At the optimal concentration of 100 ppm, QAAHG achieved inhibition efficiencies of 90.98% (gravimetric) and 93.8% (potentiodynamic polarization), suppressing corrosion current density from 112.2 to 6.95 µA cm⁻² and produced a corrosion potential shift of 69 mV, indicating mixed-type inhibition with a predominant anodic contribution. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) confirmed a peak impedance inhibition efficiency of 95.3% at 100 ppm, with charge transfer resistance ( R ct ) rising from 438.2 to 9319.1 Ω cm², and a concurrent drop in Constant Phase Element (CPE) from 36.5 to 1.6 µF cm⁻², consistent with the formation of a compact, resistive protective film. Adsorption studies confirm that the process follows the Temkin isotherm model, with a standard free energy of adsorption of -19.64 kJ mol -1 . This value indicates spontaneous physisorption mechanism driven by electrostatic interactions between the cationic hydrogel network and the steel surface. Notably, scanning electron microscopy/ energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) characterization confirmed heterogeneous polymer adsorption and partial barrier film formation, while the observed efficiency threshold at 200 ppm provides new insights into the interfacial aggregation behavior of polyelectrolyte inhibitors. These findings establish QAAHG as a high-efficiency, structurally optimized alternative to conventional small-molecule inhibitors for marine infrastructure.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-66435-y","authors":["Sherif A.

The study also aimed to determine whether such routing can reduce explicit safety failures and monotonicity violations while keeping resource use close to the lean baseline. METHODS: Using a single ChatGPT deployment (GPT-5.2 Pro; accessed January 2026; San Francisco, CA: OpenAI), we collected Japanese-language persona outputs for 28 synthetic emergency vignettes (56 scenario-level runs) and eight Base/Worse counterfactual pairs (16 comparisons per strategy). We compared four personas (high/low time pressure × LEAN/SAFE) and three routing strategies that escalated from high-time-pressure LEAN persona (P_HL) to high-time-pressure SAFE persona (P_HS) via red flags, dual-run auditing, and optional arbitration. Outputs were constrained to structured JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and automatically scored for test suggestions, discharge safety-net specificity (0-5), contraindication/sequence safety violations (severity 0-3), and monotonicity violations. Routing outcomes were evaluated as deterministic offline simulations over stored persona outputs; accordingly, reported call counts are simulated expected large language model (LLM) calls rather than separately logged live controller calls. RESULTS: The lean baseline suggested the fewest tests (mean: 1.95) but produced safety violations in 8/56 scenarios (14.3%) and monotonicity violations in 10/16 comparisons (62.5%). SAFE personas had 0/56 safety violations and 0/16 monotonicity violations, but suggested more tests (means: 3.38-4.32). Routing eliminated safety violations and reduced monotonicity violations (ROUTER_R1 2/16; ROUTER_R2_CF 0/16) while keeping test counts near the lean baseline in the main router simulation (means: 2.14-2.21) with modest simulated call overhead (ROUTER_R1 1.21 calls; ROUTER_R2_AUDIT 2.00 calls). CONCLUSIONS: In this single-model, synthetic evaluation, persona routing was associated with fewer rule-defined safety violations (14.3-0%) and monotonicity violations (62.5% with LEAN prompting vs. 12.5% with ROUTER_R1 and 0% with ROUTER_R2_CF) while preserving low test-suggestion counts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.107548","authors":["Yuusuke Harada"],"tags":["Medicine","Routing (electronic design automation)","Persona","Monotonic function","Natural language processing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.107548","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7162324490","name":"Energiewende unter neuen Realitäten: zwischen Resilienz, Kosten und Wettbewerb","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Climate policy in Germany and Europe is based on assumptions that are no longer tenable under the new geopolitical, economic and technological conditions.

Nesse contexto, a captura, conversão e utilização de CO2 (CCU) tem se consolidado como uma rota estratégica para valorizar o carbono e, simultaneamente, armazenar energia em moléculas combustíveis. A reação de Sabatier destaca-se por converter CO2 em metano (CH4), um combustível compatível com redes de gás e com usos em geração distribuída, mobilidade e processos industriais. Além do paradigma Power-to-Gas em que o H2 verde de eletrólise é combinado com CO2 para formar CH4 sintético, a metanação também é uma ferramenta poderosa para o enriquecimento de biogás. Este trabalho apresenta uma abordagem integrada para a síntese, caracterização e aplicação de catalisadores à base de níquel e alumínio derivados de hidróxidos duplos lamelares (Ni–Al LDH), com foco na otimização de suas propriedades estruturais e catalíticas para a metanação de CO2. Quatro estudos complementares foram conduzidos. O primeiro investigou o efeito da razão molar Ni/Al, identificando o catalisador Ni70Al30 como o mais eficiente, com 85% de conversão de CO2 e 100% de seletividade para CH4 a 250 °C. O segundo avaliou o impacto das condições térmicas de calcinação e redução, demonstrando que a calcinação a 600 °C promove maior estabilidade estrutural, menor sinterização e melhor dispersão metálica. O terceiro estudo introduziu a condutividade residual como parâmetro crítico na etapa de lavagem durante a coprecipitação, revelando que diferentes níveis de íons residuais influenciam diretamente a área específica, a basicidade e a interação metal-suporte. O quarto demonstrou que a incorporação de sais de potássio (KCl, KNO3 e K2SO4) e a variação na quantidade de KCl influenciam significativamente as propriedades físico-químicas durante a etapa de síntese e o desempenho catalítico de catalisadores derivados de LDH de Ni-Al para a metanação de CO2. As caracterizações físico-químicas foram realizadas por meio de BET, XRD, TPR, TPD, XPS, ICP-OES e SEM. A análise de N2 por adsorção-desorção mostrou que a área específica dos catalisadores variou de 234 a 308 m2/g, sendo inversamente proporcional à temperatura de calcinação e à razão Ni/Al. A difração de raios X confirmou a formação de fases espinélio (NiAl2O4 e Ni2AlO4) e a presença de Ni⁰ após redução. A análise TPR revelou múltiplos picos de redução, indicando diferentes espécies de níquel com interações variadas com o suporte. A TPD de H2 mostrou que a dispersão metálica diminui com o aumento da razão Ni/Al, enquanto a TPD de CO2 evidenciou que os sítios básicos médios são os mais relevantes para a ativação do CO2. O desempenho catalítico dos materiais mostrou-se fortemente correlacionado com suas propriedades texturais, redox e de basicidade. O catalisador Ni70Al30, que apresentou uma razão molar otimizada entre níquel e alumínio, destacou-se por sua alta estabilidade térmica e resistência à deposição de carbono, mantendo sua cristalinidade após 50 horas de reação contínua. As análises pósreação por XRD e TPO confirmaram a preservação da estrutura metálica e a baixa formação de coque, enquanto os resultados de TPR e TPD indicaram uma distribuição uniforme de espécies redutíveis e sítios básicos médios, essenciais para a ativação eficiente do CO2. Esses fatores, combinados, contribuíram para a elevada conversão e seletividade observadas, evidenciando o papel crítico da engenharia de síntese e tratamento térmico na performance catalítica dos materiais Ni–Al LDH.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7140068813","authors":["Nailma De Jesus Martins"],"tags":["Chemistry","Nuclear chemistry","Mineralogy","Humanities","Molar ratio"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7162610985","name":"Carbon capture and storage in bioenergy production : the opportunities and challenges of BECCS technology","source":"openalex","abstract":"Hiilidioksidi on merkittävin ilmastonmuutosta aiheuttava kasvihuonekaasu.

Conventional wind farm operation, which prioritises power maximisation, is poorly aligned with the evolving requirements of modern power systems, characterised by increased asynchronous generation and reduced dispatchable capacity. This review uses Flexible Wind Farm Control as a term that encompasses control techniques that intentionally modulate wind farm output to better integrate wind energy with the grid. Focusing on European and UK contexts, the review examines how current policy frameworks, market structures, and system-needs are driving demand for new sources of flexibility. A comprehensive review of the literature is presented, covering key application areas of Flexible Wind Farm Control including frequency control, voltage support, fault ride-through, and integration within co-located and hybrid energy systems. Particular attention is given to rotor-side control strategies enabling power set-point tracking, synthetic inertia provision, and reserve-based operation. The review highlights differences in objectives, time scales, and system interactions for Wind Farm Control strategies that prioritise grid support over power maximisation. However, inconsistencies between policy and the recognised role of wind energy in providing flexibility remain clear. At the same time, much of the existing literature relies on simplified modelling approaches, highlighting the need for higher-fidelity models of turbine and farm dynamics, including turbulence, wake effects, and component fatigue, to better asses the performance of Flexible Wind Farm Control strategies. Overall, the literature suggests a persistent gap between policy and the technical capabilities of Flexible Wind Farm Control. Although some policy makers have acknowledged the potential of wind farms to support flexibility, significant work is required to fully identify and implement these capabilities in future power systems. Going forward, increased data availability, higher-fidelity simulation results, and field studies will be essential to establish wind farms as reliable providers of power system flexibility.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/wes-2026-96","authors":["Devon Todd","Adam Stock","Wolf‐Gerrit Früh"],"tags":["Wind power","Dispatchable generation","Flexibility (engineering)","Electric power system","Turbine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5194/wes-2026-96","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7153220565","name":"Early-career researchers reflect on influential papers","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-026-02605-0","authors":["Leif Fredericks","Julia K.

This study investigates the combined influence of cement type and curing regime on service life performance against chloride‐induced corrosion and the life‐cycle carbon footprint of concrete, with an emphasis on integrating durability with environmental assessment. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) concretes subjected to water curing and ACC were experimentally characterized to evaluate chloride transport properties. The probabilistic service life modeling based on Fick's second law was used to estimate time to corrosion initiation under chloride exposure conditions. The results demonstrate that ACC induces densification of the near‐surface concrete matrix, leading to reduced surface chloride concentration and lower chloride diffusion coefficients ( D Cl ) for both OPC and PPC‐based concretes compared to water curing. The probabilistic service life model predicted longer times to corrosion initiation for ACC mixtures, with carbonation‐cured PPC exhibiting the highest predicted durability among four mixes. A cradle‐to‐gate life cycle assessment showed that carbonation curing reduced cumulative CO 2 emissions by 10% for OPC and 16% for PPC. When normalized by the predicted service life, CO 2 intensity decreased substantially from 24 to 14 kg CO 2 ‐eq. per service year for OPC and from 13.5 to 7 kg CO 2 ‐eq. per service year for PPC, demonstrating the combined durability and sustainability benefits of ACC. The integrated assessment highlights ACC, particularly in combination with pozzolanic cement, as a cleaner production pathway that simultaneously enhances service life and substantially reduces the life cycle carbon footprint of concrete exposed to chloride‐laden environments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/suco.70757","authors":["Himanshu Guleria","Shweta Goyal"],"tags":["Carbonation","Durability","Service life","Portland cement","Curing (chemistry)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/suco.70757","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7140182840","name":"Refractory septic shock new definition: a first stone to pave a long way","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00134-026-08371-z","authors":["Bruno François","Rui Shi","Jean–Louis Teboul"],"tags":["Medicine","Septic shock","Refractory (planetary science)","Anesthesiology","Pain medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00134-026-08371-z","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7202145093","name":"Assessing the Value of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit Remains Difficult","source":"openalex","abstract":"examined patients hospitalized for cardiovascular emergencies after ambulance transport between April 2016 and March 2024.After excluding deaths within 24 h, 888,416 admissions were analyzed, including patients initially admitted to an ICU, HCU, or general ward.In-hospital mortality rates were 10.8%, 9.7%, and 12.2%, respectively.After multivariable adjustment, initial admission to the ICU and HCU was associated with lower odds of in-hospital death compared with general ward admission.The association was consistent across AMI, acute heart failure, aortic dissection, and pulmonary embolism.Importantly, a higher number of board-certified cardiologists was also independently associated with lower mortality rates.The investigators attempted to reduce bias from very early death and end-of-life care pathways by excluding deaths within 24 h.In addition, the study incorporated hospital cardiologist staffing, thereby moving beyond a simple comparison of ward categories toward an assessment of care structure.The findings should not be interpreted as proof that ICU or HCU admission itself causally reduces deaths in all cardiovascular emergencies.Residual confounding remains unavoidable in observational registry analyses, such as illness severity, laboratory data, granular hemodynamics, and treatment limitations.The exposure was the initial admission ward, whereas subsequent transfers and time-dependent changes in care intensity were not modeled.These limitations are not weaknesses unique to this study; they are precisely why assessing the value of the CICU remains difficult.Nevertheless, the study offers an important signal.Higher-acuity care environments and greater cardiovascular staffing appear to be associated with better survival.Patients with acute cardiovascular emergencies may deteriorate abruptly from arrhythmia, shock, respiratory failure, bleeding or mechanical complications.Units with continuous monitoring, experienced nurses, rapid access to invasive procedures, and cardiologists familiar with MCS are better positioned to detect deterioration and rescue patients before irreversible organ injury occurs.In this sense, ICU and HCU admission may be a Article p ????","url":"https://doi.org/10.1253/circj.cj-26-0695","authors":["Takahiro Nakashima"],"tags":["Medicine","Value (mathematics)","Intensive care medicine","Intensive care unit","Unit (ring theory)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1253/circj.cj-26-0695","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.502Z"},{"id":"oa:W7202295204","name":"Functionalization Strategy of Polyethyleneimine (PEI) and Its Research Progress and Prospect in Carbon Dioxide Capture and Concentration","source":"openalex","abstract":"近年来，聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)凭借丰富的胺基活性位点、低成本优势以及高效的化学吸附性能，已成为固态胺基CO2捕集材料领域的研究热点。然而，其实际应用仍受制于胺基失活、氧化降解、浸出流失及再生能耗高等关键瓶颈。本文系统梳理了近年来PEI功能化改性的主要策略，涵盖物理负载与复合、共价接枝、化学结构修饰及绿色合成途径，并在此基础上，对该领域未来的发展方向进行了前瞻性展望。In recent years, polyethylenimine (PEI) has become a research hotspot in the field of solid amine-based CO2 capture materials, owing to its abundant amine active sites, low cost, and high chemisorption efficiency.

Methodology: This study employs Tier 1 and Tier 2 calculation methods based on the IPCC guidelines. Emission projections are modeled under a Business as Usual (BAU) scenario. Mitigation strategies were developed by assessing International best practices and adapting them to the local conditions. Result: By 2033, GHG emissions in the transportation sector are projected to reach 1,596,350 tons of CO? equivalent (CO?eq), while industrial sector emissions are estimated at 111,530.09 tons of CO?eq. The mitigation strategies proposed for the transportation sector could reduce emissions by up to 28%, whereas industrial sector strategies have the potential to cut emissions by up to 76%. Conclusions: Comprehensive mitigation strategies can significantly curb GHG emissions in Kendal Regency. The combination of technological advancements and policy-based interventions offers a robust framework for achieving substantial reductions across both sectors. Limitations: This study is limited by the availability and accuracy of local emission factor data and the assumptions used in BAU projections, which may not fully capture dynamic policy changes or technological breakthroughs.

Following this critique, the paper investigates the limitation of incrementalism within the context of industrial decarbonisation, focusing on the steel sector. Through a review of emerging pathways for green steel production, the analysis demonstrates that marginal improvements within the incumbent process are insufficient to achieve deep emissions reductions. The industry’s transition demonstrates that sustainability goals cannot be achieved through incremental adjustments alone; they require systemic technological, infrastructural, and institutional change. Incremental approaches adjust expectation, but fail to deliver structural transformation, revealing how the myth of incrementalism obscures the transformative shifts necessary.

Sustainable aviation fuels are one solution for decreasing aviation in-flight emissions. Sustainable aviation fuels include synthetic aviation fuel, also known as electro-sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF), which is produced using hydrogen and captured biogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂). Given the needed feedstocks for synthetic aviation fuel, Finland has a unique opportunity to position itself as a leader in the synthetic aviation fuel production, particularly ample supply of biogenic CO₂. This thesis attempts to uncover the root causes why synthetic aviation fuel production has been slow to take off in Finland and how the situation could be remedied. A review of existing literature in the field of synthetic aviation fuel and energy transitions is presented. The work then moves on to utilize applied policy research, as its objective is to inform policy development and decision-making related to synthetic aviation fuel production. To arrive at meaningful conclusions, the research involves economic operators throughout synthetic aviation fuel supply chains. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed by categorization into overarching themes. The interviews produced three themes explaining the slow materialization of synthetic aviation fuel projects in Finland: 1) infrastructure; 2) guaranteed revenue; and 3) societal stability. Based on these outcomes, it is recommended that Finland should focus on CO₂ and electricity infrastructure investments, participation in the First Movers’ Coalition double-sided auction, incorporation of synthetic aviation fuel production into resilience strategy, influencing EU politics in maintaining current eSAF policies and creating a lucrative environment for private capital funneling into the Finnish synthetic fuel industry.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7160739397","authors":["Meri-Sofia Riva"],"tags":["Aviation","Production (economics)","Engineering","Aviation engineering","Aviation fuel"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"oa:W7203587616","name":"Evaluasi Teknis dan Lingkungan Proses Karbonasi Karbon Dioksida dalam Produksi Magnesium Sulfat: Studi Perancangan Pabrik Skala Industri","source":"openalex","abstract":"Magnesium sulfat (MgSO4) merupakan garam anorganik tidak berbau dengan rasa pahit-asin yang banyak digunakan dalam industri pertanian, farmasi, dan kertas.

This study systematically investigated the effect of different internal-circulation flow rates on the biocathode initiated without the electric field and the reactor effluent. It was found that the methane production of the biocathode initiated without the electric field was increased by around 30% at an internal-circulation flow rate of 18 mL/min, which was stronger than that of the biocathode initiated by the reactor effluent.

The hallmark of N00N state based quantum sensing is superresolution, characterized by the interference fringe pattern (1+cosNphi). However, practical implementations are severely constrained by the achievable photon number N, reduced fringe visibility, and vulnerability to photon loss. Recently, several coherence-based approaches without using N00N states have been explored as alternative routes to superresolution. Among them, the coherence de Broglie wavelength (CBW) approach is fully compatible with coherence optics. Here, we experimentally demonstrate CBW based superresolution up to N=3. In contrast to N00N state based schemes, the observed CBW fringes exhibit near unity visibility that is essentially independent of N and remain robust against photon loss. Although CBW does not attain the Heisenberg limited phase sensitivity, its phase sensitivity exhibits an N fold enhancement over conventional classical interferometric approaches. These results suggest that CBW provides a practical and scalable platform for superresolution based sensing and metrology.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7135428488","authors":["S. Y. Kim","B. S.

This projection will likely be worse even with moderate estimates. The factors used in the reported status quo forecasts are optimistic. From energy mix to population growth and the assumption that gas use could increase while oil declines, this scenario is limited by available gas reservoirs. There needs to be a more aggressive application of CCS to reach Net-Zero by 2050. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has been identified as the leading technology that could help reduce the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. At the same time, the search for non-fossil fuel energy sources continues. The amount of CO2 dilution in the air stream complicates the economics of direct air capture. This research proposes two international collaborative clusters for India. Due to India's growth and use of fossil energy sources, this is necessary to manage CO2 emissions from coal-fired plants. The results show that cluster-based CCS facilities possess great potential for the world to develop faster carbon capture and sequestration technology and deploy it faster. These cluster CCS systems will create economies of scale and integration necessary to make the CCS technology succeed to help reduce India's and global CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel-powered electricity generation. If CCS is deployed at the proposed scale, it will reduce atmospheric CO2 significantly, which would capture more than 250 times more than today's effort.","url":"https://doi.org/10.12691/ajer-11-1-5","authors":["Solomon Evro","Cooper R.

It looks at how investment flows vary across different sectors, regions, and types of investors, while also interpreting the results through the lenses of entrepreneurship theory, sustainability transitions, and innovation systems.The findings show that global investment in climate-tech skyrocketed nearly six times between 2013 and 2021, largely fueled by policy commitments like the Paris Agreement (2015) and the swift rise of renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs). However, the sector faced a downturn in 2022–2023 due to tightening macroeconomic conditions, before making a partial recovery in 2024. Despite these ups and downs, climate-tech proved to be more resilient than the overall venture capital markets, highlighting its long-term strategic significance.When we break it down by sector, we see some notable imbalances: renewables and EVs dominate the funding landscape, while high-impact but riskier areas like carbon capture, sustainable agriculture, and water resilience are still underfunded. This points to a trend where entrepreneurial ecosystems favor commercially viable technologies, leaving innovations aimed at adaptation somewhat overlooked. On a regional level, funding is heavily concentrated in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, with Africa and Latin America together receiving less than 10%. This is particularly troubling given the heightened climate risks that the Global South faces. Public finance tools play a crucial role in opening up entrepreneurial opportunities in high-risk areas and emerging sectors. However, relying too much on subsidies brings up concerns about the long-term viability of these business models. This discussion looks at these insights through the lens of entrepreneurship theory, showcasing both the promise and the challenges of climate-tech entrepreneurship as a force for sustainability. It points out the tricky balance between making a profit and ensuring the planet's survival, which pushes entrepreneurs to innovate in environments that depend heavily on policies and require significant capital. The paper wraps up by stating that climate-tech entrepreneurship can be a strong driver for sustainability transitions, but it faces hurdles like sectoral disparities, regional inequalities, and a lack of funding for adaptation efforts. Suggestions include broadening investments beyond just mitigation, developing markets for adaptation technologies, enhancing collaboration between public and private finance, and building capabilities in developing economies. Future studies should focus on gathering primary data, analyzing startup performance over time, and assessing impacts to see how entrepreneurial efforts lead to tangible climate results. In short, climate-tech entrepreneurship is both a chance and a challenge—an innovation engine that needs careful guidance toward fair and comprehensive climate solutions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.56975/jetnr.v4i4.233831","authors":["PRASHANT SRIVASTAVA","R Behari and R S Mishra"],"tags":["Entrepreneurship","Sustainability","Venture capital","Investment (military)","Economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.56975/jetnr.v4i4.233831","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"oa:W4220817224","name":"Comment parvenir à la neutralité carbone ?","source":"openalex","abstract":"Le réchauffement climatique et la nécessité de réduire drastiquement les émissions de gaz à effet de serre imposent de redéfinir en profondeur les systèmes énergétiques de demain.

The primary objective of this study is to quantify the comparative effects of isolated and integrated mitigation portfolios on annual and cumulative global cement emissions through 2050 and to identify the principal leverage points needed for deep sectoral decarbonization. To achieve this, a global aggregate system dynamics model was developed and anchored to a 1990–2022 historical production baseline. The model evaluates five internally consistent scenarios: business-as-usual (BAU), efficiency and alternative fuels (EFF), materials efficiency and clinker substitution (MAT), carbon capture and storage (CCS), and an integrated net-zero-emission (NZE) pathway. The results show that while efficiency improvement alone (EFF) reduces 2050 annual emissions by 14.0% relative to BAU, it does not reverse sector-wide emissions growth. Deep decarbonization requires both substantial clinker-demand reduction (MAT, 33.2%) and broad CCS deployment (CCS, 61.1%). Only the integrated NZE pathway achieves an 87.9% reduction, lowering 2050 direct emissions to 325.8 Mt CO2. Cumulative emissions analysis further shows that delayed structural mitigation results in a large long-term carbon burden, with BAU accumulating 72.86 Gt CO2 over 2023–2050 compared with 40.07 Gt CO2 in the NZE case. A 5000-run Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis confirms that the scenario ranking remains robust under bounded-parameter variation and identifies CCS penetration and the clinker-to-cement ratio as the most influential determinants of long-term mitigation performance. Overall, the study provides a reproducible and policy-relevant framework showing that cement decarbonization cannot rely on single-technology measures, but instead requires coordinated early action across materials efficiency, alternative fuels, and large-scale carbon capture.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cleantechnol8040110","authors":["Oluwafemi E.

The priority in decarbonization in Russia is determined not by the absolute level of technological development or the current carbon intensity of production, but by the degree of exposure to external regulatory and market risks combined with the ability to adapt. It is proven that in the current geopolitical and economic realities, the successful decarbonization of Russian non-ferrous metallurgy is impossible either as exclusively technological modernization or as a passive reaction to external regulatory pressure.

This catalyst exhibits superior activity compared to conventional Ni/oxide catalysts with identical composition. Under atmospheric pressure at 220 °C, it achieves nearly 80% CO2 conversion with over 99% methane selectivity and maintains excellent catalytic performance and structural stability during a 240-h continuous test. Systematic characterizations, including high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, CO2 temperature-programmed desorption, and in situ DRIFTS reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy, reveal that the synergistic modification by CeO2 and Cr2O3 not only optimizes the electronic structure of Ni to promote CO2 adsorption and activation, but also enhances H2 dissociation and intermediate conversion by regulating oxygen vacancy concentration and alkaline site distribution. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction follows a synergistic mechanism dominated by the formate pathway and assisted by the CO pathway.

However, traditional fossil-fuel-based CCHP systems still suffer from intensive carbon emissions, hindering their further development in the current low-carbon scenario. To solve this issue, a new low-carbon CCHP system (LC-CCHP) integrating a calcium-looping, sorption-enhanced steam methane reforming (CL-SE-SMR) unit, a lithium bromide absorption chiller, and a hydrogen gas turbine is proposed in this work, and the corresponding system model is built to evaluate its performance.

Moreover, instead of the widely used thermodynamic equilibrium assumption, a detailed kinetic model is employed for the CL-SE-SMR unit, which provides more realistic predictions and greater reference value for practical engineering applications. Then, multi-objective optimization is conducted using a particle swarm optimization algorithm to identify the optimal operating conditions. It is found that the proposed system performs best at a steam-to-carbon molar ratio of 4.37, a calcium-to-carbon mass ratio of 6.23, an air-equivalency molar ratio of 1.39 for a hydrogen gas turbine and a reaction temperature of 600 °C for SE-SMR.

Selbst bei konsequenter Emissionsvermeidung werden in zentralen Industrien wie Zement, Kalk oder Abfallverbrennung langfristig unvermeidbare CO₂-Emissionen verbleiben.

Dieser Policy Brief fasst den aktuellen Stand in Baden-Württemberg zusammen und leitet zentrale Handlungsbedarfe für die nächste Legislaturperiode ab. Für Baden-Württemberg zeigt sich: • Das Land verfügt über relevante Quellen schwer vermeidbarer Emissionen, hat aber bislang weder CO₂-Abscheideanlagen noch ein Transportnetz oder Speicherstätten. • Geologische Speicherpotenziale im Land sind gering; für Klimaneutralität wird voraussichtlich eine Anbindung an überregionale Infrastrukturen und Nordsee-Speicher notwendig. • Die Lage zwischen Frankreich, Schweiz, Österreich und den nordeuropäischen Speicherregionen bietet die Chance, Baden-Württemberg als Knotenpunkt einer grenzüberschreitenden CO₂-Infrastruktur zu etablieren. • Die Bevölkerung kennt Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) bislang kaum; Zustimmung und Skepsis halten sich die Waage. Ohne frühzeitigen, transparenten Dialog drohen Akzeptanzkonflikte. In der kommenden Legislaturperiode müssen zentrale Weichen gestellt werden, damit die notwendige Infrastruktur rechtzeitig entsteht und der Industriestandort Baden-Württemberg gesichert werden kann. Wichtige Aufgaben sind, das Kohlenstoffmanagement klar in die Klima- und Industriestrategie des Landes zu integrieren und strikt auf schwer vermeidbare Emissionen zu begrenzen.

The aim with this research is to analyze how well an LCA study provides environmental insights to the technology development process. For this, an LCA study for the PYROCO 2 consortium is presented and the analysis of it is presented in this article. The conducted LCA study identified three types of goals, defined to accommodate different actors' interests in the PYROCO 2 project. Methods The assessment followed standard steps: goal and scope definition, inventory analysis, impact assessment and interpretation. To inform technology developers, the LCA study identified environmental hotspots, explored scenario-based impacts and compared the results against conventional acetone production. The LCA study results were further analyzed to identify how the goals of the LCA study were addressed through methodological choices and how this supports the technology development process. Results Results show that CO 2 production and electricity consumption are key environmental hotspots, with impacts sensitive to CO 2 source and electricity mix. Compared to conventional acetone production, PYROCO 2 demonstrates potential to reduce climate change and resource depletion impacts, though trade-offs occur in ecotoxicity and human toxicity. Uncertainty remains due to the low technology readiness level (TRL 4-5). Discussion Moreover, while the LCA study informed technology development, its ability to fully address its goals was constrained by a mismatch between when the assessment would suit best and the technology's current readiness level. Multiple LCA studies across development stages would be needed to fully support technology advancement. Overall, the study highlights that the value of LCA in technology development lies not only in its results but in how the study is designed, with goal and scope definition playing a central role in its relevance and usefulness. It further shows that LCA can support the development of emerging carbon capture technologies by identifying decarbonization potential and trade-offs, provided that the study design is aligned with the needs of technology developers.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/frsus.2026.1770000","authors":["Evelina Nyqvist","Matty Janssen"],"tags":["Life-cycle assessment","Scope (computer science)","Production (economics)","Environmental economics","Resource (disambiguation)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/frsus.2026.1770000","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"oa:W7167471051","name":"Multi-mode optimization for decentralized power-to-hydrogen system design and management: A municipality-scale case study of Japan","source":"openalex","abstract":"The strategy of implementing green hydrogen significantly needs to collaborate with government and private sector. This study proposes a region-specific management design for Japan's hydrogen supply system by assigning each municipality to one of three governance modes: private, public-private partnership (PPP), or governmental. Each management mode is defined by distinct goals—private actors pursue profit, PPPs balance returns with public support, and government operations prioritize price stability. Results show that PPPs consistently act as a flexible middle ground, while high-profit scenarios lead to centralized profit hubs, and subsidy-focused scenarios result in more decentralized, locally profitable systems. The model highlights trade-offs under different hydrogen import cost and price constraints, revealing that low import costs enable greater private participation, whereas high import costs demand more governmental involvement. Additionally, the study evaluates the feasibility of current subsidy schemes, showing that existing budgets can support competitive national prices under certain mode distributions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2026.156216","authors":["Harrison Carr","Ryoga Ono","Rémi Delage","Toshihiko Nakata"],"tags":["Computer science","Systems design","System optimization","Systems engineering","Reliability engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2026.156216","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"oa:W7131069519","name":"The opportunities for CO2 Transportation in South Africa","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-8714802/v1","authors":["Makhanana Innocent Nkhwashu","Lucey Mavhungu","Oluranti Agboola","Nicholas M.

Clinical overlap with coronary artery disease (CAD), chemotherapy-related cardiomyopathy, or malignancy-associated complications makes diagnosis challenging. Case Presentation: A 62-year-old woman with gallbladder adenocarcinoma on gemcitabine, cisplatin, and durvalumab presented with 1 week of progressive dyspnea, leg edema, and chest pain. She had a history of portal vein thrombosis on apixaban. On exam, she was tachycardic and hypoxic with signs of volume overload. Labs showed elevated BNP and troponin. EKG revealed lateral T-wave inversions and chest x-ray demonstrated pulmonary edema. Echocardiography showed a large fibrinous pericardial effusion without tamponade and reduced LVEF (41%) with apical wall motion abnormalities. Differentials included ischemia, chemotherapy toxicity, ICI myocarditis, or malignant/hemorrhagic effusion. After a multidisciplinary discussion, anticoagulation was held, and the patient was transfused. Serial echocardiography showed a stable effusion but persistent ST-T changes. Coronary angiography excluded obstructive CAD. Cardiac MRI demonstrated diffuse myocardial edema, most pronounced in apical segments, consistent with myocarditis. Given the temporal relationship to ICI therapy, durvalumab-associated myocarditis was diagnosed. High-dose corticosteroids were initiated with symptomatic improvement. She was discharged on gemcitabine-cisplatin, with durvalumab omitted. Anticoagulation was resumed. Discharge echocardiography showed persistent apical wall motion abnormalities with a small effusion. Conclusion: This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of dyspnea in oncology patients, where multiple cardiac pathologies may coexist. A systematic, multidisciplinary approach-progressing from pericardial evaluation to ischemic work-up to advanced imaging-was crucial for diagnosis. Clinicians should maintain suspicion for ICI myocarditis when new heart failure or wall motion abnormalities occur without obstructive CAD, as early immunosuppressive therapy is critical.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/cric/9654777","authors":["Nismat Javed","Vikram Itare","Shoaib Ashraf","Sai Vishnu Vardhan Allu","Preeti Jadhav"],"tags":["Medicine","Durvalumab","Myocarditis","Pericardial effusion","Cardiology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1155/cric/9654777","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"oa:W7204112094","name":"Artificial Intelligence in Chemical Research and Innovation for a Greener, Sustainable Future","source":"openalex","abstract":"The Zaria Chapter is one of the most active chapters of the Chemical Society of Nigeria, organizing annual scientific conferences, workshops, public lectures and capacity-building programmes that bring together researchers, educators, industrial practitioners and students from across Nigeria and beyond.Prior to the formation of Chemical Society of Nigeria, Zaria Chapter, a team of Chemists at Ahmadu Bello University started what was known as Zaria Chemical Society.This team was led by late Prof G.F.S.

To date, no association has been reported with precancerous pancreatic tumors including intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). We present a 67-year-old male presenting with long-standing palmoplantar hyperkeratotic papules. PPPK1 was diagnosed clinically based on the morphology of skin lesions, chronic progressive course, and positive family history of similar findings. Review of the patient's medical records revealed a previously diagnosed pancreatic IPMN. Examination revealed symmetrical hyperkeratotic papules coalescing into plaques over the soles, involving pressure-bearing areas and toes, and multiple discrete punctate hyperkeratotic papules on the palms. History and examination supported the diagnosis of PPPK1. The patient was previously diagnosed with pancreatic IPMN and was following at another tertiary hospital for abdominal imaging.

A dynamic reservoir model was developed from a geological model constructed in Petrel and validated using ECLIPSE simulation, achieving approximately 90% accuracy against historical production data. On the basis of the validated model, sensitivity analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of key operational parameters on CO 2 ‐EOR performance and CO 2 sequestration. The results indicate that a CO 2 injection rate of 20,000 Mscf/day maximizes oil recovery. In contrast, a higher injection rate of 40,000 Mscf/day yields the most significant economic benefit, driven by carbon credit incentives and government subsidies. To address the computational cost and time limitations of conventional numerical simulation, a surrogate reservoir model (SRM) based on long short‐term memory (LSTM) neural networks was developed. The SRM model rapidly produces forecasting and facilitates uncertainty quantification through 100 Monte Carlo realizations. Probabilistic results confirm the project's technical and economic feasibility, with a total CO 2 storage capacity of approximately 16.1 million tons.

This study evaluated the occurrence, bacterial profile, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of CLABSIs among clinically suspected adult ICU patients with central venous catheters (CVCs). Materials and methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in the adult ICU of Index Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Indore, India, from January 2024 to December 2025. A total of 245 consecutively enrolled patients aged >18 years with a CVC in place for >48 hours and clinical suspicion of having a bloodstream infection were included. Blood specimens were obtained aseptically from peripheral veins and CVCs. Blood-culture bottles were processed using the BacT/ALERT 3D automated system, and positive cultures were subcultured onto blood agar and MacConkey agar. Bacterial isolates were presumptively identified using standard biochemical tests and further identified to the species level using the VITEK 2 Compact system. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the Kirby-Bauer disc-diffusion method, while colistin susceptibility was determined by broth microdilution, and vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration was determined by VITEK 2. Results were interpreted according to the CLSI 2024. Results: Among the 245 ICU patients included in the study, 35 (14.29%) were confirmed to have CLABSI, whereas 210 (85.71%) were CLABSI-negative. The overall CLABSI rate was 13.70 episodes per 1,000 catheter-days. Among positive cases, 23 (65.7%) were male and 12 (34.3%) were female. Most cases occurred in patients aged 61-80 years, and the Cardiac Care Unit had the highest positivity rate. Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) accounted for 26 (74.3%) isolates and Gram-positive cocci (GPC) accounted for nine (25.7%). Among GNB, Klebsiella pneumoniae comprised eight (22.9%) isolates, followed by Acinetobacter baumannii 7 (20.0%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 5 (14.3%), Escherichia coli 5 (14.3%), and Proteus mirabilis 1 (2.9). Among GPC, Staphylococcus aureus accounted for 7 (20.0%) and Enterococcus faecalis 2 (5.7). GNB isolates showed resistance, including to carbapenems, but susceptibility to colistin. All GPC were susceptible to vancomycin, linezolid, teicoplanin, and rifampicin. Among seven Staphylococcus aureus isolates, four (57.1%%) were cefoxitin-resistant and were classified as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Conclusions: CLABSIs continue to be notable healthcare-associated infections among ICU patients with CVCs, affecting 35 (14.29%) of the 245 patients included in the study. The prevalence of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii, underscores the necessity for ongoing microbiological surveillance, ICU-specific antibiograms, stringent infection control measures, judicious empirical antibiotic therapy, antimicrobial stewardship, and prompt removal of superfluous central lines to mitigate the incidence of CLABSIs. They may support the development of local ICU-specific antibiograms and institutional infection-control and antimicrobial-stewardship policies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.113548","authors":["Mohd.

One of the means to achieve this is the use of recycled carbon fuels (RCFs) such as e-methane. Feasibility of an international value chain is being studied in a variety of regions. In particular, with regard to e-methane, demonstration projects are progressing in several regions around the world as well as feasibility studies of cross-border value chain of e-methane. Ideally, e-methane production sites should be located to secure abundant and inexpensive hydrogen and CO2 as feedstocks, besides close to natural gas transmission pipelines, liquefaction facilities, and easily accessible to LNG exporting terminals. In order to stimulate investment in commercialization, development of internationally applicable GHG accounting rules is need at first. It is essential that the CO2 emitted in combustion is recognized under international accounting rules as having environmental value attribute that does not increase CO2 in the atmosphere. As one of the examples, the Japan Gas Association and related organizations have developed a certification scheme called “Clean Gas Certificate” and has applied it to several domestic e-methane production projects in Japan. For the transition period (2030-2050), the use of recycled CO2 captured from factories and thermal power plants emissions are expected to be major feedstock. We propose GHG calculation and accounting method in consideration of avoiding double counting of recycled CO2 in the entire supply chain. A calculation formula of the carbon footprint (CFP) of e-methane was proposed to one of the ISO’s working groups and it was successfully included in the ISO 6338-1:2024. Next, it is necessary to harmonize the proposed methods with internationally common GHG accounting rules.","url":"https://doi.org/10.55708/js0401002","authors":["Ryota Kuzuki","Mitsuhiro Kohara","Noboru Kizuki","Satoshi Yoshida","Yuta Nezasa","Yuki Tsuji"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Methane","Carbon credit","Carbon accounting","Business"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.55708/js0401002","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"oa:W4301485919","name":"Le Carbone Capture and Storage (CCS) : un véritable atout, des arbitrages nécessaires","source":"openalex","abstract":"Exposée à une inévitable double contrainte carbone ‒ décarboner l’intégralité de ses activités à hauteur de 80 % d’ici à 2050 et s’affranchir presque intégralement des intrants fossiles ‒, la France ne pourra faire l’économie d’une transformation.

This systematic review synthesizes 25 years (2000–2025) of peer-reviewed and institutional evidence on the economic and technological role of algae across three interrelated domains: climate-smart technologies (bioenergy, carbon capture and utilization, and biorefinery integration), smart farming (nitrogen-fixing biofertilizers, biostimulants, phycoremediation and precision-agriculture integration), and the Blue Revolution (aquaculture feed, seaweed cultivation and marine bioproducts). Following a PRISMA-guided search of four databases, 307 sources met the eligibility criteria and were retained for synthesis. The review finds consistent evidence that microalgae exhibit substantially higher per-area CO2 fixation and biomass productivity than terrestrial crops, that cyanobacterial biofertilizers measurably improve rice and cereal yields while reducing synthetic nitrogen use, and that algae-based feed and seaweed cultivation underpin a rapidly growing share of global aquaculture output. At the same time, the evidence base shows that commercial deployment remains constrained by high production costs, low technologyreadiness levels for several applications, and fragmented regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions. The review concludes by outlining priority research and policy directions needed to translate algae's demonstrated technical potential into a scalable, cost-competitive contribution to climate mitigation, agriculture and food-systems policy over 2025–2035.","url":"https://doi.org/10.65014/ijbb.v23iii.02","authors":["Ammara Ahsan","Uzma Hanif","Zaheer-ud-din Khan","Muhammad Bilal","Tahir Shahzad","Muhammad Usama Haral"],"tags":["Biorefinery","Agriculture","Biology","Productivity","Aquaculture"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.65014/ijbb.v23iii.02","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"oa:W7167829889","name":"Short-term emission pathways in India’s iron and steel sector: A hybrid framework combining quantitative methods and bottom-up modelling","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study presents a hybrid assessment framework to quantify current greenhouse gas emissions and evaluate decarbonization pathways for India's iron and steel industry up to 2030. The framework establishes a sectoral emissions baseline and examines the impact of alternative mitigation scenarios, providing a foundation for long-term decarbonization planning beyond 2030. The industry was categorized into two segments: major integrated steel producers, representing more than 57% of national crude steel output, and other producers, comprising predominantly electric-route and small-to-medium-scale operations. Emission intensity estimates for major producers were derived from reported production and emissions data, whereas emissions from other producers were assessed using a bottom-up, process-based estimation. The study estimated the baseline emission intensity for financial year 2023-24 at 2.31 tCO₂/tcs, with major producers averaging 2.53 tCO₂/tcs and other (secondary) producers operating at a lower intensity of 2.02 tCO₂/tcs. Six scenarios were modelled through 2030, revealing that a combination of 30% scrap use and 50% renewable electricity offer the most effective short-term mitigation, reducing intensity to 1.66 tCO₂/tcs. While emissions from major producers remain largely stable, most reductions are driven by secondary producers, highlighting their greater decarbonization potential. Despite these improvements in carbon intensity, projected growth in steel production is expected to increase total sectoral emissions by approximately 20–74% by 2030, depending on the scenario considered.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epm.2026.07.001","authors":["Avijit Nayak","Nayak Nc","Binod Kumar Sahu"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Scrap","Emission intensity","Baseline (sea)","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epm.2026.07.001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"oa:W7204472044","name":"Investigating the Impact of Amines on Freshwater Microalgae Relevant for Sustainable Carbon Capture Systems","source":"openalex","abstract":"The Post-Combustion Carbon Capture (PCCC) process relies on aqueous amine solutions to chemically absorb CO2 from flue gas, and it has gained rapid acceptance as an effective method for mitigating carbon emissions.However, during this process, the amines and their derivatives escape into the environment.Since the degraded solvents are considered ecotoxic and carcinogenic, they may potentially harm aquatic systems and have broader ecological and health repercussions for humans.To assess the toxicity of various amines and their derivatives, including formamide, acetamide, and Monoethanolamine (MEA), we have conducted ecotoxicity tests on the freshwater unicellular algae Chlorella pyrenoidosa under controlled conditions.The research highlights the significance of both acute and chronic exposure to key biomarkers, revealing essential insights into potential sublethal effects and tolerance levels of each amine solvent.These factors are crucial to algal efficiency and growth, underscoring the importance of sustainable solvent use in carbon capture, utilisation, and storage technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18178/ijesd.2026.17.4.1595","authors":[],"tags":["Environmental science","Carbon fibers","Environmental chemistry","Waste management","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.18178/ijesd.2026.17.4.1595","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"oa:W7204008035","name":"Predicting CO₂ adsorption in Cu- and Zn-metal-organic frameworks using a permutation-invariant deep learning framework","source":"openalex","abstract":"A deep-learning framework that predicts CO 2 uptake in Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been proposed. MOFs are promising material adsorbents for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture due to their tunable porosity and surface chemistry. However, their wide range of structural variation rendering experimental screening laborious if not impractical. The proposed framework combines string-based chemical descriptors (SMILES and SELFIES, with one-hot and ordinal encodings) with physical descriptors (pore-limiting diameter, largest cavity diameter, gravimetric and volumetric surface areas, void fraction, topology, and catenation), and incorporating a permutation-invariant aggregator over multiple MOFs linkers. Three deep learning architectures: Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) were trained and evaluated on the Cu-MOF and Zn-MOF subsets of the MOFX-DB database. The statistical differences in predictive accuracy were assessed using the Diebold–Mariano (DM) test. Chemical descriptors alone yielded coefficient of determination R² below 14% because three-dimensional structural information is lost in string encodings but combining SMILES one-hot encoding with physical descriptors increased R² to 87.07–87.90% for Cu-MOF and 83.50–83.61% for Zn-MOF, with the permutation-invariant aggregator contributing significant improvement gains (from 1% up to 14%). DM testing showed that, for Cu-MOF, the three architectures are statistically equivalent, whereas for Zn-MOF MLP and CNN significantly outperformed LSTM. Training on a combined multi-pressure dataset (0.01–2.5 bar) further improved performance to R² ≥ 0.976. Case-study isotherm reconstructions of hMOF structures yielded R² = 0.9927 for a Cu-MOF (hMOF-5077787) and R² = 0.9991 with average relative errors below 3% above 0.05 bar for Zn-MOF.

However, the low hydraulic reactivity and slow early-age strength development of AAS limit its practical use in marine civil engineering. This research examined the impact of synergy between carbonation curing and marine exposure on the mechanical properties and durability of AAS pastes. The findings indicated a synergistic enhancement and resistance to chloride-ion erosion in carbonated AAS pastes, with a 24-hour carbonated specimen achieving a strength of 42 MPa compared to the 6-hour specimen (12.7 MPa) after 28 days of corrosion. This was attributed to the combined effects of carbonation and chloride-ion penetration, which not only reduced porosity, free chloride ions, and pH but also refined the pore structure. The reduced porosity facilitated the progressive development of calcite in the paste matrix, thereby encapsulating non-carbonated particles within the densified matrix, enhancing the stability of C-S-H gels and promoting the formation of Friedel's salt. Overall, carbonated AAS pastes exhibited stable CO2 sequestration capacity, remarkable stability, and corrosion resistance in marine environments, indicating that they are well-suited for marine civil engineering applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3151/jact.24.382","authors":["Jaures Syntyche Ndzila","Zhengxian Yang","Kang Li"],"tags":["Slag (welding)","Metallurgy","Environmental science","Materials science","Seawater"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3151/jact.24.382","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"oa:W7204520961","name":"Screening of Austrian geological carbon and hydrogen storage options.

This study presents a static screening and assessment of Austria’s CCS and underground hydrogen storage (UHS) potential in hydrocarbon reservoirs. Using reported ultimate recoveries from oil and gas fields, CO 2 storage capacities were estimated across 73 reservoirs. The results indicate a total static CCS capacity of 263 Mt (183–357 Mt, depending on efficiency factor variation) for pure CO 2 , which decreases to 151–293 Mt when high levels of impurities are considered. The five largest gas fields, with individual storage capacities exceeding 10 Mt, account for approximately 100 Mt of CCS capacity. Site-specific challenges in Austria’s largest hydrocarbon fields may include numerous abandoned boreholes, strong aquifer support, and competition with UHS. Storage efficiency factors and CO 2 density variations significantly impact capacity estimates, particularly in reservoirs near the supercritical threshold. For UHS, the total theoretical storage capacity across suitable fields was calculated to be 55 TWh, with 21 TWh identified in operational underground gas storage sites. Competition between CCS and UHS technologies is anticipated in relatively large gas fields with overlapping suitability. While individual CO 2 storage capacities in hydrocarbon fields are small compared to offshore saline aquifers, they offer advantages such as existing infrastructure, detailed reservoir characterization, and proximity to major emission sources. The identified CCS capacity could bridge crucial periods before CO 2 export or saline aquifer storage becomes viable.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2026.104754","authors":["Jakob Kulich","Holger Ott"],"tags":["Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Environmental science","Hydrocarbon","Petroleum engineering","Storage efficiency"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2026.104754","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5040/9798881871468","name":"Nordic, Central, and Southeastern Europe 2025–2026","source":"crossref","abstract":"The World Today Series:Nordic, Central, and Southeastern Europe 2025–2026provides historical background on Nordic, Central, and Southeastern Europe countries to help readers gain a thorough understanding of contemporary developments in this region.Broad introductory chapters are followed by sections on each country in the region.

This report provides the most comprehensive and internationally comparable evidence to date on how mobilisation supports sustainable development outcomes.Drawing on OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) statistics, the report analyses recent trends in private finance mobilisation across regions, sectors, instruments and providers. It highlights where mobilisation has increased, where progress has stalled, and which markets and sectors continue to face persistent financing gaps. The analysis shows that while mobilisation volumes have grown over time, results remain concentrated in a limited number of instruments, providers and countries, raising important questions about scalability and effectiveness.The report emphasises the importance of improving the quality, transparency and targeting of mobilisation efforts. It sheds light on which financial instruments tend to mobilise the most private capital, where risk-sharing remains insufficient, and how public resources can be used more strategically to crowd in private investment. The report is intended for policymakers, development finance institutions and partners seeking evidence-based insights to strengthen mobilisation approaches and ensure that scarce public resources deliver meaningful development impact.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1787/a871a032-en","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-24T00:20:20Z","doi":"10.1787/a871a032-en","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1596/45439","name":"FY 2026 Serbia Country Opinion Survey Report","source":"crossref","abstract":"The Country Opinion Survey in Serbia assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in better understanding how stakeholders in Serbia perceive the WBG.

Global gas flaring increased to 167 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2025, the highest level since 2019 and the third consecutive annual increase, despite only modest growth in oil production. The report estimates that the gas wasted through flaring was worth approximately 54 billion dollar and generated 429 million tones of CO₂, equivalent emissions, including significant methane emissions. The report emphasizes the benefits of reducing flaring, including improved energy security, energy access, economic development, and environmental protection. It finds that the volume of gas flared globally is comparable to Africa’s annual gas consumption and exceeds LNG exports through the Strait of Hormuz, illustrating the scale of the lost energy opportunity. A small group of countries, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, Mexico, Libya, Algeria, Nigeria, and the United States, account for 83 percent of global flaring, indicating that targeted action in a few countries could yield significant global reductions. While countries such as the United States, Kazakhstan, India, and Argentina demonstrated progress through infrastructure investments and regulatory reforms, increases in Russia, Mexico, and Iran drove most of the global rise. The report also introduces an enhanced satellite-based methodology for measuring flaring, improving data accuracy through expanded satellite coverage and more precise flare detection. It concludes that ending routine flaring will require stronger policies, regulatory enforcement, infrastructure investments, financing, and sustained international collaboration to achieve the Zero Routine Flaring (ZRF) by 2030 goal.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/45260","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-23T02:11:14Z","doi":"10.1596/45260","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21741/9781644904299","name":"HEATS Workshop 2026","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21741/9781644904299","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-10T13:38:11Z","doi":"10.21741/9781644904299","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59617/efepub2026025","name":"SAĞLIK &amp;

Momentum softened in the second quarter on the heels of the global energy supply shock, though the impact on China’s economy was mitigated by large oil reserves, diversified fuel imports, a high share of renewables, and policy measures. Growth is projected to moderate to 4.4 percent in 2026 amid persistent domestic demand headwinds. Near-term macroeconomic policy will need to remain supportive of growth while structural reforms are phased in to address the deeper drivers of weak domestic demand and accelerate rebalancing. The Economic Update also examines how China’s low-carbon transition is reshaping its labor market. Demand for green technical skills and transferable competencies such as systems thinking and adaptive learning is expanding beyond narrowly defined low-carbon sectors. These skills are associated with sizable wage premiums of around 22 to 25 percent, yet skill mismatches are constraining inclusive employment gains. Realizing the full employment benefits of the transition will require a proactive, coordinated approach to workforce development on two tracks: in the short term, strengthening on-the-job training, reskilling, and labor mobility support; and over the longer term, reforming education curricula and strengthening labor market institutions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/45228","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-18T02:12:17Z","doi":"10.1596/45228","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1596/45307","name":"FY 2026 Gambia Country Opinion Survey Report","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/45307","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-31T02:11:44Z","doi":"10.1596/45307","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.54946/wilm.12230","name":"Cartoon","source":"crossref","abstract":"Cartoon","url":"https://doi.org/10.54946/wilm.12230","authors":["Jan Darasz"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-10T11:08:26Z","doi":"10.54946/wilm.12230","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.53292/8c345de7.de9b5185","name":"Europadomstolens domar – februari 2026–april 2026","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.53292/8c345de7.de9b5185","authors":["Anna Rogalska Hedlund"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-29T13:12:31Z","doi":"10.53292/8c345de7.de9b5185","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59617/efepub2026008","name":"SAĞLIK &amp; BİLİM 2026: Beslenme-I","source":"crossref","abstract":"BESLENME MÜDAHALELERİNDE YAPAY ZEKÂ TABANLI KİŞİSELLEŞTİRİLMİŞ RİSK TAHMİN MODELLERİ 7 Neslihan SÜRMELİ AKÇADAĞ KİŞİSELLEŞTİRİLMİŞ BESLENMEDE GENETİK, EPİGENETİK VE MİKROBİYOTA ETKİLEŞİMİ 23 Fadime Figen KARAHAN YAŞAM BOYU BESLENME PATERNLERİNİN EPİGENETİK HAFIZA VE HASTALIK RİSKİ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİ 37 Ayşe Tolunay OFLU GENÇ YETİŞKİNLERDE MİKROBİYOTA FARKINDALIĞI VE PREBİYOTİK/PROBİYOTİK TÜKETİMİ 51 Mazhar Ahmet TOPTAŞ, Biriz ÇAKIR FONKSİYONEL BESİN BİLEŞENLERİ VE HÜCRESEL SİNYAL YOLAKLARI ÜZERİNE ETKİLERİ 69 Emine BORAN PEKTAŞ, Gülşen ÖZDURAN İNFLAMASYON, OKSİDATİF STRES VE BESLENME TEMELLİ MÜDAHALE STRATEJİLERİ 85 Ayşe ARSLAN İLERİ GLİKASYON SON ÜRÜNLERİ VE KRONİK HASTALIK RİSKİNE ETKİLERİ 101 Zehra ŞAHİN, Mevra AYDIN ÇİL ULTRA İŞLENMİŞ GIDA TÜKETİMİNİN KARDİYOVASKÜLER HASTALIK RİSKİ ÜZERİNE ETKİLERİ 123 Dicle KARGIN YÜREK TİP 2 DİYABET RİSK YÖNETİMİNDE ÜÇ BOYUTLU YAKLAŞIM: SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK, FARKINDALIK VE DİYET KALİTESİ 139 Betül AVARA GÖK, Fatma NİŞANCI KILINÇ TİP 1 DİABETES MELLİTUS'LU ÇOCUKLARDA BESLENME VE ÖNEMİ 157 Neva KARATAŞ, Ayşete Aleyna BABUR MADEN FENİLKETONÜRİ YÖNETİMİNDE YAĞ ASİTLERİNİN ÖNEMİ VE BESLENME STRATEJİLERİ 171 Esen TAŞĞIN, Kübra Hanım KOÇER BASINÇ YARALANMASI OLAN GERİATRİK HASTALARDA BESLENME ÖNERİLERİ 191 Ela GÜVEN AVCI SAĞLIKLI YAŞLANMA VE UZUN ÖMÜR İÇİN BESLENME STRATEJİLERİ 197 Mısra ASLAN, Mevra AYDIN ÇİL ÇOCUKLUK VE ERGENLİK DÖNEMİNDE BESLENMENİN NÖROGELİŞİM ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİ 221 Eda BOZ ÖNCEL, Ezgi ÖZEL KRONOBESLENME: SİRKADİYEN RİTİM, METABOLİK SAĞLIK VE HASTALIK İLİŞKİLERİ 231 Vahide TAŞ ÖZDEMİR, Sena BEKERECİOĞLU DİYETLE KOLİN ALIMI VE ÖNEMİ 247 Hasan Kaan KAVSARA SAĞLIKLI BESLENME TAKINTISI VE YENİ BESİN KORKUSU: ORTOREKSİYA NERVOZA VE BESİN NEOFOBİSİNE GÜNCEL BİR BAKIŞ 265 Hande KESKİN TÜRK, Fatma NİŞANCI KILINÇ BESLENME VE DİYETETİKTE LİDERLİK MODELLERİ VE SAĞLIK SİSTEMİNDEKİ DÖNÜŞTÜRÜCÜ ETKİLERİ 285 Mehlika YURT, Yaren ÖZTÜRK, Merve ŞİMŞEK KAYMAK, Zeynep Begüm KALYONCU ATASOY","url":"https://doi.org/10.59617/efepub2026008","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-26T13:06:56Z","doi":"10.59617/efepub2026008","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/c2021-0-03555-0","name":"Biotechnology","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/c2021-0-03555-0","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-15T15:44:30Z","doi":"10.1016/c2021-0-03555-0","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784487020","name":"International Conference on Transportation and Development 2026","source":"crossref","abstract":"Selected papers from the International Conference on Transportation and Development 2026, held in Detroit, Michigan, June 28–July 1, 2026.

Es braucht datenbasierte Mehrwerte in der Versorgung und eine verlässliche Verknüpfung und Nachnutzung qualitätsgesicherter Daten aus unterschiedlichen Quellen. Zukünftige Verfahren sollen es erlauben, bei noch mehr Prozessen die Möglichkeiten der Digitalisierung zu nutzen, um sie konsequent an Qualität, Effizienz und den Bedarfen der Betroffenen auszurichten und im Versorgungsalltag zu verankern.

In this context, it risks succumbing and undermining its own authority, or resisting so strongly that it over-uses its enforcement powers to unfairly penalise foreign competitors, driven by the false belief that this would help the EU become less dependent on foreign technology. The risk of upward or downward enforcement bias is problematic because it weakens the effectiveness of the EU’s regulatory framework and distorts market competition dynamics. A country’s ability to set, preserve and enforce its own rules is perhaps the clearest expression of its autonomy. This Policy Brief asks whether a structural change in the institutional setup would improve the enforcement of the EU’s digital rulebook. We ask whether the European Commission should delegate to an independent agency the digitalenforcement powers given to it by the Digital Markets Act (DMA), Digital Services Act (DSA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act. Independent EU agencies with significant enforcement powers, including the power to impose financial sanctions on private entities, already exist. An EU digital authority could follow this template. We ask whether the challenge in outsourcing digital enforcement is outweighed by the expected increase in enforcement accuracy. Furthermore, we assess whether the establishment of an EU digital authority is technically, politically and legally feasible. We find that the case for an independent authority is not equally compelling for each of the three regulations examined: a structural separation of enforcement may be currently unsuitable for the DMA and the AI Act, while it is advisable for the DSA. We thus recommend the establishment of an independent EU agency to enforce the DSA, and provide an outline of its possible structure.","url":"https://doi.org/10.64153/jlni2855","authors":["Mario Mariniello"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-04T10:43:05Z","doi":"10.64153/jlni2855","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.51202/9783181024706","name":"Emissionsminderung 2026","source":"crossref","abstract":"In diesem VDI-Bericht finden sich Beiträge zu modernen Verfahren der Abluft- und Abgasreinigung mit Fokus auf thermische und adsorptive Technologien, PFAS-Behandlung, Schadstoffabscheidung, Energieeffizienz und industrielle Emissionsminderung.

Подобные годовщины служат своего рода вехами в истории развития данного государства и создают определенную систему координат, позволяющую вписать происходившие в нем события в контекст мирового исторического процесса. Они фиксируют периоды подъема и упадка, взлета и падений как страны в целом, так и конкретных партий и политических деятелей. Отношение к юбилеям показывает состояние исторической памяти общества, а подготовка к ним нередко становится на определенном этапе доминирующим фактором политической и культурной жизни. Автор останавливается на наиболее значимых, по его мнению, круглых датах, которые отмечаются в 2026 г., имевших место в истории Кореи, в том числе в ее отношениях с Россией и некоторыми другими странами, продолжающими оказывать существенное влияние на ситуацию на Корейском полуострове. Особенно богата памятными датами история отношений с СССР, а позже и с Россией двух корейских государств, образованных там в 1948 г. The author examines anniversaries, or milestones, in the history of Korea and Russia's relations with the country. Such anniversaries serve as milestones in the development of a given state and create a framework that allows for the contextualization of its events within the global historical process. They mark periods of rise and decline, the rise and fall of both the country as a whole and specific parties and political figures. Attitudes toward anniversaries reflect the state of society's historical memory, and preparations for them often become the dominant factor in political and cultural life at a certain stage. The author focuses on what he considers the most significant milestones, celebrated in 2026, in the history of Korea and its relations with Russia and several other countries that continue to exert significant influence on the situation on the Korean Peninsula. The history of relations between the USSR, and later Russia, and the two Korean states formed there in 1948 is particularly rich in memorable dates.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48647/icca.2026.69.27.002","authors":["А.З.

Real GDP growth accelerated from 3.3 to 3.8 percent in 2025, the strongest performance since before the pandemic, driven by private consumption, a resilient services sector, and a significant scaling up of public investment ahead of the 2027 Indian Ocean Island Games. All three sectors of the economy expanded above 3.5 percent, a rare achievement for an economy that has averaged 2.6 percent growth over four decades. Inflation fell sharply to 3.3 percent, the lowest level since before the 2022 commodity shock, providing meaningful relief to households after three years of elevated prices. Public debt continued its downward trajectory, falling to 27.7 percent of GDP from 30.3 percent the previous year. Private sector credit expanded by 14.7 percent, recovering strongly after the slowdown of 2024. These are genuine achievements and they provide a stronger foundation than Comoros has had in some time. Sustaining this momentum will require continued policy effort, particularly as the external environment has become considerably more challenging since the start of 2026.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/45106","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-28T02:12:05Z","doi":"10.1596/45106","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.54946/wilm.12245","name":"Writing + Coding","source":"crossref","abstract":"Richard Dewey explains how AI bridges writing and coding to spark a new golden age.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54946/wilm.12245","authors":["Richard Dewey"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-25T05:26:51Z","doi":"10.54946/wilm.12245","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1136/gutjnl-2026-bsg.authorindex","name":"Author index","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2026-bsg.authorindex","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-23T10:26:23Z","doi":"10.1136/gutjnl-2026-bsg.authorindex","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784487099.fm","name":"Front Matter for Pipelines 2026: Construction, Rehabilitation, Trenchless Technology, and Pipeline Resiliency","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1061/9780784487099.fm","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-30T10:05:36Z","doi":"10.1061/9780784487099.fm","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.9785/ur-2026-750608","name":"Umsatzsteuer-Umrechnungskurse für den Monat Januar 2026","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.9785/ur-2026-750608","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-16T19:26:22Z","doi":"10.9785/ur-2026-750608","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/imw68301.2026.11532796","name":"Imw 2026 Committees","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/imw68301.2026.11532796","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-26T19:39:31Z","doi":"10.1109/imw68301.2026.11532796","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/apscon68325.2026.11498025","name":"APSCON 2026 TOC","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/apscon68325.2026.11498025","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-05T20:01:05Z","doi":"10.1109/apscon68325.2026.11498025","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/c2024-0-01697-9","name":"Anästhesie","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/c2024-0-01697-9","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-10T16:53:27Z","doi":"10.1016/c2024-0-01697-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:26.503Z"},{"id":"doi:10.57166/tinkuy.sicec.v1.2026","name":"FONDO EDITORIAL","source":"crossref","abstract":"El libro de investigación Tinkuy, publicado por la Universidad Nacional Micaela Bastidas de Apurímac, es una invitación al encuentro y la confluencia intelectual desde las ciencias sociales.

However, there are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved strategies for the prevention of hematologic malignancies in the setting of CCUS. IDH1 mutations are detected in 3-4% of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Despite the safety and efficacy of IDH1 inhibitors in acute myeloid leukemia and the recent FDA approval of ivosidenib for relapsed/refractory IDH1 -mutated MDS, no IDH1-directed therapies are approved in lower-risk, treatment-naïve MDS/CMML. Olutasidenib, an FDA-approved oral, highly selective, potent inhibitor of mutant IDH1, is well-tolerated, non-cytotoxic and effective, with overall response rates in relapsed/refractory AML of 48% as monotherapy. We consequently hypothesize olutasidenib to be effective in both improving hematologic parameters and decreasing the risk of progression to high-risk MDS/CMML and AML in IDH1 -mutated patients. Methods: This multicenter investigator-initiated study under the MDACC-Rigel Research Alliance is a phase II single-arm study evaluating the efficacy of olutasidenib monotherapy in patients with IDH1 -mutated CCUS or lower-risk MDS/CMML. Eligibility includes adult patients with acceptable organ function and confirmed IDH1 mutation with CCUS (by World Health Organization criteria) or lower-risk MDS/CMML (by Revised International Prognostic Scoring System [IPSS-R] and Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System [IPSS-M] criteria). The primary objective of the study is to determine the response rate by International Working Group 2018 criteria. Secondary objectives include rates of transfusion independence, safety and tolerability, overall survival, progression-free survival, duration of response, rates of leukemic transformation, and changes in IDH1 clone size. All patients will receive olutasidenib 150 mg orally twice daily. CCUS patients will receive up to 18 months of olutasidenib, while lower-risk MDS/CMML patients can receive olutasidenib indefinitely. Response assessments will be performed approximately every 3 months for the first year, then yearly thereafter. Once off treatment, survival follow-up will occur every 3 months for 3 years. The goal enrollment is 15 total patients with at least 8 CCUS patients across 5-6 centers in the United States. The study was activated and enrollment began in December 2024.

This study investigated the longitudinal changes in these bacteria and assessed their potential persistence following CRC surgery. Forty fecal samples were collected from ten CRC patients at four timepoints: (1) pre-surgery (S); (2) one week (S1); (3) one month (S2); and (4) three months (S3) post-surgery. Fifteen other fecal samples were collected from healthy individuals as our study controls. Microbial profiling was performed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and quantitative PCR was applied to assess the changes in three opportunistic bacteria associated with CRC-associated. Our study revealed that Escherichia coli was significantly enriched in pre-surgical samples (S), while Enterococcus faecalis was predominant in the samples collected one-week after surgery (S1). All the assessed species showed a gradual post-surgical decline in relative abundance, suggesting they do not persist after resection. Additionally, there was a significant increase in relative abundance of beneficial bacterial signatures, including Akkermansia muciniphila, Bacteroides uniformis, Parabacteroides merdae, and Phascolarctobacterium faecium post-surgery, which implies a potential dysbiosis restoration. Our findings suggest that surgical resection gradually reduces the burden of opportunistic gut microbiota, thus gradually lowering the risk of recurrence and chemoresistance. Additionally, it may facilitate the restoration of beneficial taxa. Future studies should include extended follow-up periods to validate our findings and their correlation with clinical outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms13122818","authors":["Mutebi John Kenneth","Chuan‐Yin Fang","Chin‐Chia Wu","Ming-Chih Hsieh","Ming-Liang Lai","Bing‐Mu Hsu"],"tags":["Colorectal cancer","Dysbiosis","Feces","Gut flora","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms13122818","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407187351","name":"An Overview of Light-Assisted CO2 Cycloaddition for Cyclic Carbonate: Paths of Photo-Induced Thermal-Catalysis, Photocatalysis and Photo-Thermal Synergistic Catalysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"Review An Overview of Light-Assisted CO2 Cycloaddition for Cyclic Carbonate: Paths of Photo-Induced Thermal-Catalysis, Photocatalysis and Photo-Thermal Synergistic Catalysis Bin Zhu 1, Qichao Cao 1, Xin Ding 1,*, and Xiaolong Yang 1,2,* 1 School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Qingdao University, 308 NingXia Road, Qingdao 266071, China 2 State Key Laboratory of Bio-Fibers and Eco-Textiles, Collaborative Innovation Center of Shandong Marine Bio-Based Fibers and Ecological Textiles, Qingdao University, 308 NingXia Road, Qingdao 266071, China * Correspondence: dingxin@qdu.edu.cn (X.D.); yangxl@qdu.edu.cn (X.Y.) Received: 4 November 2024; Revised: 6 January 2024; Accepted: 22 January 2025; Published: 6 February 2026 Abstract: The increase of CO2 concentration significantly results in severe greenhouse effect. Reducing emission and chemically utilizing CO2 are effective means to solve this problem. CO2 cycloaddition reaction with epoxide is atomically economical and environmentally friendly. However, current catalytic systems still have a long way to go for high catalytic efficiency under mild conditions. Solar energy has demonstrated excellent characteristics in direct photothermal utilization, photocatalytic reactions, and photoelectrochemical reactions recently. Therefore, herein this review summarizes the research work on solar energy mediated CO2 cycloaddition reactions in the past decade. Firstly, the heat generated by photothermal effects is confined to the local space and can be more effectively absorbed by reaction molecules for efficient reactions, greatly reducing the energy consumption of traditional thermal reactions. CO2 cycloaddition with carbon-based materials, polyoxometalates (POM), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and ionic liquids (ILs) as catalysts are reviewed and analyzed; Secondly, semiconductor exhibit high activity due to activation of reactants by photogenerated charges and holes. Single atom catalysts, composites, atomic clusters, MOFs, COFs, Porous organic polymers (POPs), and others used in such reaction are reviewed and analyzed; Finally, the solar light mediated photothermal synergistic catalysis and the reaction system of light and external heating synergy are introduced and analyzed. Last but not least, some issues in the development of solar energy mediated CO2 cycloaddition reactions are analyzed and discussed, and future research prospects are proposed on this basis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.53941/see.2025.100001","authors":["Bin Zhu","Qichao Cao","Xin Ding","Xiaolong Yanng"],"tags":["Photocatalysis","Catalysis","Photochemistry","Cycloaddition","Thermal"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.53941/see.2025.100001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4392510225","name":"Thermogravimetric analysis of gasification and pyrolysis of algae biomass","source":"openalex","abstract":"In the present paper, the case of the brown algae Saccharina japonica from Aniva Bay (Sea of Okhotsk, Sakhalin Island) was investigated by a thermogravimetric analysis up to 700°C at different atmospheres.

Angiogenesis is critical for UM development, however, not only the role of vascular endothelial dysfunction in UM remains unknown, but also their analysis at the single-cell level has been lacking. A comprehensive analysis is essential to clarify the role of the endothelium in the development of UM. METHODS: By using single-cell RNA transcriptomics data of 11 cases of primary and liver metastasis UM, we analyzed the endothelial cell status. In addition, we analyzed and validated ECs in the in vitro model and collected clinical specimens. Subsequently, we explored the impact of endothelial dysfunction on UM cell migration and explored the mechanisms responsible for the endothelial cell abnormalities and the reasons for their peripheral effects. RESULTS: UM metastasis has a significantly higher percentage of vascular endothelial cells compared to in situ tumors, and endothelial cells in metastasis show significant senescence. Senescent endothelial cells in metastatic tumors showed significant Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) upregulation, overexpression of KLF4 in normal endothelial cells induced senescence, and knockdown of KLF4 in senescent endothelium inhibited senescence, suggesting that KLF4 is a driver gene for endothelial senescence. KLF4-induced endothelial senescence drove tumor cell migration through a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), of which the most important component of the effector was CXCL12 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12), and participated in the composition of the immunosuppressive microenvironment. CONCLUSION: This study provides an undesirable insight of senescent endothelial cells in promoting UM metastasis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12967-024-05430-1","authors":["Liang Ma","Xiaoyu He","Yidian Fu","Shengfang Ge","Zhi Yang"],"tags":["Senescence","Metastasis","Endothelial stem cell","Cancer research","Angiogenesis"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12967-024-05430-1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W7114988130","name":"India","source":"openalex","abstract":"The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) is the nodal agency for planning, promoting, and implementing environment, forest, and climate-related policies and programs. As India has committed to achieve net zero carbon emission by 2070, thus, most of the actions taken by India are based on this target. Even the interim budget for 2024–25 reiterated the commitment to net zero emissions (Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, Government of India, EnviStats India 2024: Environment Accounts (7th Issue) ). India is committed to dealing with climate change issues by taking different actions guided by its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and commitment to reach net zero by 2070. Until this year, ‘the cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources is 46.52 per cent of the total cumulative electric power installed capacity. India has updated its NDC targets to a 45 per cent reduction in emission intensity and 50 per cent of cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources, by 2030’ (MoEFCC, Year End Review 2024 ). Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) played a crucial role in decarbonizing the industrial and power sector. CCUS is the key to ensuring sustainable development and growth in India, particularly for the production of clean products and energy, leading to an Atmanirbhar Bharat (ibid). India released its cooling action plan to phase out chlorofluorocarbons. India has achieved a reduction of 50 per cent of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) in the consumption sector. The use of HCFCs in the manufacturing of new equipment is targeted to be phased out in December 2024 (‘World Ozone Day 2024: From Ozone Depletion to Ozone Recovery’ DD News (16 September 2024) ). At the G20 meetting, the prime minister remarked that India prioritized the UN Sustainable Development Goals and that ‘One Earth One Family One Future, is as relevant at this summit.’ India focused on sustainable agriculture, protection of the environment, nutrition, and food security by promoting millet.

Taking a case study of Taiwan not yet reviewed in the literature, the present study aimed to conduct a preliminary analysis for exploring the amazing growth in renewable energy over the past fifteen years (2010–2023) in connection with the achievements of green finance promotion over the past five years (2018–2022). The updated database was accessed on the websites of Taiwan's competent authorities. This work was divided into the following main parts: Taiwan's carbon neutrality policy and sustainable development goals (SDGs) relevant to green finance, the regulatory promotion for green finance action plans in Taiwan, and the status of green finance measures and achievements in Taiwan. The findings supported the idea that the implications of green policies for unlocking green finance and green investment significantly enhanced a positive influence on green energy industry development in Taiwan.

The role of geophysical investigation is then for the selection of a suitable site for the geological storage of CO2 and the monitoring of the injection and storage process. The monitoring of the dynamic process can both detect leakage and minimize leakage potentials. To achieve this goal, this paper suggested the use of transient electromagnetic 3D finite-difference method to help realize the geospatial quantification of in-situ CO2. First, the horizontal model and the deep saline aquifer inclined were developed to analyze the low resistivity response which is the characteristic of typical aquifers. Second, the geoelectrical modeling which demonstrates the changes at the time of the CO2 injection, can be used to examine the temporal variations in subsurface resistivity. Thus, the impact to the volumetric changes due to the CO2 injection can be quantified. The significance of the results of this study confirmed the potential of the development of efficient dynamic monitoring and boundary delineation strategies for CO2 geological storage. Finally, a geoelectrical model for leakage has been established to investigate the likely changes in the resistivity of the subsurface strata because of CO2 leakage, which is reflected in the transient electromagnetic response patterns along with the leakage paths. This contributes to the monitoring of CO2 leakage in real time as well as detecting the location of leakage. This paper provided the theorical support of the transient electromagnetic method which has the potential to capture the dynamic diffusion process of CO2 storage in a deep saline aquifer. Furthermore, it could be used to an efficient monitor of CO2 leakage and identify the leakage paths.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2024.1494735","authors":["Haiyan Yang","M. B.

This method integrates Service Quality (SERVQUAL) analysis and considers resource constraints, such as financial and workforce limitations, to select and prioritize technical requirements effectively. Methods: The proposed MD-HOQ approach was applied to a private hospital in Tehran, Iran. Data were gathered from a sample of 8 experts and a sample of 386 patients, using 2 in-depth interviews and 4 questionnaires. The process included identifying hospital sections and determining their importance using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Patients' needs in each section were then identified and weighted through SERVQUAL analysis. Subsequently, technical requirements to meet these needs were listed and weighted using MD-HOQ. A mathematical model was employed to determine the optimal set of technical requirements under resource constraints. Results: Application of the MD-HOQ approach resulted in the identification of 50 patient needs across 5 hospital sections. Additionally, 40 technical requirements were identified. The highest implementation priorities were assigned to \"training practitioners and nurses,\" \"improving the staff's sense of responsibility,\" and \"using experienced specialists, physicians, and surgeons.\" Conclusions: The integrated QFD approach, utilizing MD-HOQ and SERVQUAL analysis, provides a comprehensive framework for hospital managers to prioritize technical requirements effectively. By considering resource constraints and the gap between patient expectations and perceptions, this method ensures that resources are allocated to the most impactful technical requirements, leading to improved patient satisfaction and better overall hospital service quality. This approach not only enhances the quality of hospital services but also ensures efficient utilization of resources, ultimately benefiting patient satisfaction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/11786329251331311","authors":["Mohammad Ali Beheshtinia","Masood Fathi","Morteza Ghobakhloo","Muhammad Faraz Mubarak"],"tags":["SERVQUAL","Quality function deployment","Analytic hierarchy process","House of Quality","Service quality"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1177/11786329251331311","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4399352367","name":"Lactobacillus salivarius ameliorates Mycoplasma gallisepticum-induced inflammation via the JAK/STAT signaling pathway involving respiratory microbiota and metabolites","source":"openalex","abstract":"Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) can cause chronic respiratory disease (CRD) in chickens, which has a significant negative economic impact on the global poultry sector.

L. salivarius also reduced the level of Th1 cell cytokines, increased the level of Th2 cell cytokines, and ameliorated immune imbalance during MG infection. In addition, L. salivarius improved the mucosal barrier, heightened immune function, and suppressed the Janus kinase/Signal transducer, and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway.

UHS employs geological structures like salt caverns, depleted reservoirs, or aquifers for hydrogen storage, enabling long-term and scalable storage capacity. Therefore, robust and reliable predictive tools are essential to assess the risks associated with geological hydrogen storage. This paper presents a novel reactive transport model called “Underground Gas Flow simulAtions with Coupled bio-geochemical reacTions” or “UGFACT”, designed for various gas injection processes, accounting for geochemical and microbial reactions. The flow module and geochemical reactions in the UGFACT model were verified against two commercial reservoir simulators, E300 and CMG-GEM, showing excellent agreement in fluid flow variables and geochemical behaviour. A major step forward of this model is to integrate flow dynamics, geochemical reactions and microbial activity. UGFACT was used to conduct a simple storage cycle in a 1D geometry across three different reservoirs, each with different mineralogies and water compositions: Bentheimer sandstone, Berea sandstone, and Grey Berea sandstone, under three microbial conditions (“No Reaction”, “Moderate Rate”, “High Rate”). The findings suggest that Bentheimer sandstone and Berea sandstone sites may experience severe effects from ongoing microbial and geochemical reactions, whereas Grey Berea sandstone shows no significant H 2 loss. Additionally, the model predicts that under the high-rate microbial conditions, the hydrogen consumption rate can reach to as much as 11 mmol of H 2 per kilogram of water per day ( m m o l / k g · d a y ) driven by methanogenesis and acetogenesis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2025.150453","authors":["A.

This paper presents an extension of industry modelling within the REMIND integrated assessment model to industry subsectors and a projection of future industry subsector activity and energy demand for different baseline scenarios for use with the REMIND model. The industry sector is the largest greenhouse-gas-emitting energy demand sector and is considered a mitigation bottleneck. At the same time, industry subsectors are heterogeneous and face distinct emission mitigation challenges. By extending the multi-region, general equilibrium integrated assessment model REMIND to an explicit representation of four industry subsectors (cement, chemicals, steel, and other industry production), along with subsector-specific carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), we are able to investigate industry emission mitigation strategies in the context of the entire energy–economy–climate system, covering mitigation options ranging from reduced demand for industrial goods, fuel switching, and electrification to endogenous energy efficiency increases and carbon capture. We also present the derivation of both activity and final energy demand trajectories for the industry subsectors for use with the REMIND model in baseline scenarios, based on short-term continuation of historic trends and long-term global convergence. The system allows for selective variation of specific subsector activity and final energy demand across scenarios and regions to create consistent scenarios for a wide range of socioeconomic drivers and scenario story lines, like the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs).","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-17-2015-2024","authors":["Michaja Pehl","Felix Schreyer","Gunnar Luderer"],"tags":["Context (archaeology)","Greenhouse gas","Bottleneck","Baseline (sea)","Electrification"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-17-2015-2024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4386608605","name":"Digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis for detecting invasive lobular and ductal carcinoma","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-023-07051-6","authors":["Tracy Onega","Linn Abraham","Diana L.

A major concern in CGS is the risk of CO₂ leakage due to plume migration through structural faults and cracks in the caprock. This research investigates the effects of caprock morphologies on CO₂ plume migration, solubility trapping, and leakage risks using multiphase multicomponent reactive transport simulations. Three synthetic domains with varying caprock morphologies are modelled, incorporating geological subsurface features. The study reveals that the presence of cracks significantly impacts CO₂ entrapment and leakage. In the current analysis outcomes, in comparison between the synthetic domain-1 and - 2, due to the presence of an anticline structure in synthetic domain-1 reduced sweeping efficiency by 25%, which in turn influenced solubility trapping, with leakage recorded 15% lower in synthetic domain-2 compared to domain-1. In contrast, synthetic domain-3, based on the Deccan traps stairsteps morphology, showed 30% less leakage despite injecting 21.6 Mt of CO₂, compared to the 18.9 Mt injected into domains 1 and 2. This is due to the enhanced CO₂ plume migration through stairstep traps in the lateral direction, which promoted primary trapping followed by solubility trapping. The findings highlight the importance of geological structures in determining CO₂ migration patterns, sweeping efficiency, and leakage risks, contributing to the optimization of CO₂ storage strategies. These insights are critical for addressing gaps in CGS implementation and ensuring the safe and efficient sequestration of CO₂ over the long term.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-03416-7","authors":["Pradeep Reddy Punnam","Venkata Sai Teja Tatavarthi","Vikranth Kumar Surasani"],"tags":["Caprock","Plume","Solubility","Leakage (economics)","Trapping"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-03416-7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4416122736","name":"Perspective on sustainable strategies for integrating catalytic CO2 valorization in industrial processes: advances, challenges, and opportunities","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract This perspective paper explores the pivotal intersection of sustainability, industrial processes, and catalytic CO 2 valorization.

This is due to several factors such as the difficulty in moving away from existing technologies and the availability of still relatively cheap natural gas. In this study, we introduce two scenarios to investigate possible energy transition pathways for the Dutch industrial sector. The first scenario focuses on keeping industrial production largely in the Netherlands. The second explores relocating part of it abroad to regions in which low–cost sustainable energy sources are available. We employ an energy system optimization model to analyze these scenarios. Our results for the first scenario show a reduction of about 80% in fossil fuel consumption by 2050 in the industrial sector, primarily achieved by substituting fossil fuels with hydrogen, bioenergy, and synthetic fuels. To achieve the carbon-neutrality target by 2050, a cumulative total of about 552 MtCO 2 needs to be captured from the industrial sector, with 52% utilized and the rest stored. The second scenario does not yield a large difference in the relative energy mix compared to the first. However, it results in substantial changes in terms of more rapid decarbonization, with less final energy consumption, lower investment costs, and more limited deployment of CO 2 capture technology. In both scenarios, a radical technological transformation of the industrial sector is necessary for reaching the energy system carbon-neutrality target, with industry contributing to this goal by achieving net-negative CO₂ emissions in 2050.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egycc.2025.100205","authors":["Ahmed M.

Most of them describe process technologies on the one hand and commitment to implement them quickly in the steel sector in the form of roadmaps and agendas, on the other hand. The most popular process technology is H2 Direct Reduction (H2-DR) in a shaft furnace. Available technical literature, as abundant as it may be, is still fairly incomplete in making the pathway to Net-Zero explicit and credible. This paper tries to identify important issues which are not openly discussed nor analyzed in the literature, yet. Process-wise, open questions in technical papers are: (1) what are the best-fitted iron ores for H2-DR, (2) what downstream furnace, after H2-DR, can accommodate various raw materials, (3) how and how much carbon ought to be fed into the process, (4) what is the best design for the shaft, (5) should it be designed for both natural gas and H2 operations, or simply for H2, (6) how should the progress of R&D be organized from pilot plants up to full-scale FOAK plants and then to a broad dissemination of the technology, (7) what kind of refractories should be implemented in the various new reactors being imagined, etc. Cost issues are also widely open, as a function of green hydrogen, green electricity and carbon prices. How is hydrogen fed to the steel mill and what exactly is the connection to renewable electricity? Is the infrastructure that this calls for planned in sufficiently details? What is still missing is a full value chain picture and planning from mining to steel mills, including electricity and hydrogen grids. Two years after our last review paper on hydrogen, the overall picture has changed significantly. Countries beyond Europe, including China, have come up with roadmaps and plans to become net-zero by 2050, plus or minus 10 years. However, they do not rely as much on H2 alone, as Europe seems to be doing. What is most likely is that several process routes will develop in parallel, including, beyond H2-DR, Blast Furnace ironmaking and NG Direct Reduction with CCS, electrolysis of iron ore and scrap-based production in EAFs fed with green electricity, which would single-handedly support the largest part of production by the end of the century; as more and more scrap is to become available and be actually used. There is also a question for historians. The influence of Climate Change on Steel has been discussed continuously for more than 30 years.

Accurate predictions of geology and sealing capabilities play a key role in the safe execution of CCS projects. However, popular forecasting methods often oversimplify the process and fail to guide actual CCS projects in the right direction. This study takes a specific block in Shenhua, China as an example. The relative permeability of CO2 and brine is measured experimentally, and a multi-field coupling CO2 storage prediction model is constructed, focusing on analyzing the sealing ability of the block from the perspective of injection modes. The results show that when injected at a constant speed, the average formation pressure and wellbore pressure are positively correlated with the CO2 injection rate and time; when the injection rate is 0.5 kg/s for 50 years, the average formation pressure increases by 38% and the wellbore pressure increases by 68%. For different injection modes, the average formation pressures of various injection methods are similar during injection. Among them, the pressure increases around the well in the decreasing injection mode is the smallest. The CO2 concentration around the wellbore is the largest, and the CO2 diffusion range continues to expand with injection time. In summary, formation pressure increases with the increase in injection rate and injection time, and the decreasing injection mode has the least impact on the increase in formation pressure. The CO2 concentration is the largest around the well, and the CO2 concentration gradually decreases. The conclusion helps determine the geological carrying capacity of injection volumes and provides insights into the selection of more appropriate injection modes. Accurate predictions of CO2 storage capacity are critical to ensuring project safety and monitoring potentially hazardous sites based on reservoir characteristics.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17010122","authors":["Ligen Tang","Guosheng Ding","Shijie Song","Huimin Wang","Wuqiang Xie","Jiulong Wang"],"tags":["Wellbore","Brine","Petroleum engineering","Injection well","Carbon sequestration"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17010122","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W7143437494","name":"Management of hematological toxicities after BCMA-directed CAR-T cell therapy","source":"openalex","abstract":"The CAR-HEMATOTOX (CAR-HT) score can assess hematotoxicity risk, but its utility in guiding supportive care remains underexplored.

These factors imply that there are limits to opportunities for direct implementation of newly commercialised technologies in other waste-to-energy contexts.

Recent studies suggest that microalgae-based biofuels have the potential to meet global energy demands. However, challenges such as spatial constraints in site selection and the high cost of transporting CO2—an essential component for pH regulation and photosynthesis—pose obstacles. Here, this study demonstrates that by supplementing air-only medium with CaCO3, Chlorella sorokiniana can effectively utilize airborne CO2 to produce biomass. In laboratory-scale culture conditions supplied only with air, adding 5 mM CaCO3 (pH 7.8) could maintain the pH stably compared to the untreated conditions (pH 9.5) and improved the biomass concentration and lipid content by 17.68-fold and 9.58-fold, respectively. In bench-scale conditions, cultures supplemented with 5 mM CaCO3 exhibited a 9-fold increase in the biomass and a 7.15-fold increase in the lipid concentrations compared to those cultivated with air alone. With microalgae emerging as an essential resource for future generations, cultivation technology utilizing CaCO3 will be a critical technology that enables commercial-scale microalgae cultivation using only air, without artificial CO2 supply facilities.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17174475","authors":["Seonju Pyo","Byung-Sun Yu","Kyudong Han"],"tags":["Chlorella sorokiniana","Biofuel","Biomass (ecology)","Environmental science","Photobioreactor"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17174475","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401260781","name":"An Assist for Arthritis Studies: A 3D Cell Culture of Human Fibroblast‐Like Synoviocytes by Encapsulation in a Chitosan‐Based Hydrogel","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are the most common arthritis in which the synovium is involved, but the cellular and molecular basis of these pathologies still need better elucidation.

Despite articular damage starts from synovium and then proceeds involving cartilage till bone erosion, several 3D in vitro models are reported for cartilage and bone while only a few studies focused on the synovial component.

Among different formulations, a chitosan (Cs)‐based hydrogel, constituted by 70% of Cs and 30% of Matrigel, showed the best results in terms of stability as well as cell growth and morphology: non‐RA and RA FLS are able to grow within the hydrogel forming a complex 3D network.

In addition to the kinetic mixing of the dark photon, denoted as σ , there may also be mass mixing introduced by the additional Higgs doublet with a vacuum expectation value participating in U(1)X and electroweak symmetry breaking simultaneously. The interaction of the Z boson with the SM leptons is modified by the introduction of the mixing ratio parameter ε , which quantifies the magnitude of both the mass and kinetic mixing of the dark photon. Initially, we use the tau lepton as an example to explore the Z -boson phenomenology of the dark photon model with both kinetic and mass mixing. The goal is to determine the allowed parameter regions by taking into account constraints from the vector and axial-vector couplings gV,Aτ , the decay branching ratio Br(Z→τ−τ+) and tau-lepton polarization in Z→τ−τ+ . We found that the mixing ratio plays important role in the Z -boson features by choosing different ε values. Furthermore, we aim to generalize our analysis from the tau-lepton case to include all fermions by conducting global fits. This allows us to identify viable regions by incorporating relevant fermion constraints and the W/Z mass ratio. Correspondingly, we obtain the fit results with the kinetic mixing parameter σ=0.074±0.021 , mixing ratio ε=−1.37±0.46 , and dark photon mass mX=275±39 GeV .

Furthermore, lack of quantitative data on EDs prevents definition of the problems and possibilities for data driven improvement of quality of care. Therefore, the objective is to describe and compare Emergency Department (ED) populations and characteristics, and their outcomes in the Netherlands, Denmark and Australia, using a recently developed template for uniform reporting of standardized measuring and describing of care provided in the ED (structure, staffing and governance, population, process times and outcomes). METHODS: This international multicenter cohort included all consecutive ED visits from National Quality Registries or Databases from participating sites from three countries. Patient and ED characteristics (using the template for uniform reporting) and relevant clinical outcomes were described and compared per country. RESULTS: We included 212,515 ED visits in the Netherlands, 408,673 in Denmark and 556,652 in Australia. Patient characteristics differed markedly, with Australian ED patients being younger, less often triaged as \"immediate\", and less often triaged with the high-risk chief complaints \"feeling unwell\" compared to Danish and Dutch patients. ED characteristics mainly differed with respect to the mean annual census per ED (Netherlands 26,738 (SD 2630), Denmark 36,675 (SD 12974), Australia 50,712 (4884)), median (IQR) lengths of stay of patients discharged home (Netherlands 2.1 (1.4-3.1); Denmark 2.8 (1.7-5.0); Australia 3.3 (2.0-5.0) hrs) and proportion of hospitalizations (ranging from 30.6 to 39.8%). In-hospital mortality was 4.0% in Australia, higher compared to the Netherlands and Denmark (both 1.6%). Not all indicators of the framework were available in all registries. CONCLUSIONS: Patient and ED characteristics and outcomes varied largely across countries. Meaningful interpretation of outcome differences across countries could be improved if quality registries would more consistently register the measures of the recently developed template for uniform reporting.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12245-024-00715-0","authors":["Bas de Groot","Nicoline T C Meijs","Michelle Moscova","Wouter Raven","Menno I.

METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included adults undergoing LLR at a university hospital between January 2017 and August 2024. The predictor was peak arterial lactate from skin incision to PACU discharge, dichotomized at 3 mmol/L. The primary outcome was a 30-day composite of all-cause mortality, post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), or acute kidney injury (AKI). As a secondary objective, associations between intraoperative lactate ≥ 3 mmol/L and prespecified hemodynamic exposures (net fluid balance, vasopressor dose, and indices of low mean arterial pressure (MAP), low or high stroke volume variation (SVV), and low cardiac index) were explored using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS: Among 257 patients, 143 (55.6%) had lactate ≥ 3 mmol/L. The composite outcome was more frequent in patients with lactate ≥ 3 mmol/L than in those with lactate < 3 mmol/L (15.4% vs. 4.4%; risk difference, 11.0%; 95% confidence interval, 3.6-18.3%), and discrimination was modest (AUC 0.695). AKI accounted for most events (12.6% vs. 0.9%; risk difference, 11.7%; 95% confidence interval, 5.8-18.2%); mortality and PHLF were similar. Lower net fluid balance and greater exposure to low MAP and low SVV were associated with lactate elevation, whereas vasopressor dose, high SVV, and low cardiac index were not.

Based on mitochondrial COI barcoding, sympatric and heterogeneous distributions of invasive P . canaliculata and P . maculata were noted. Our haplotype analysis and mismatch distribution results suggested multiple introductions of P . canaliculata in Taiwan was likely originated directly from Argentina, whereas P . maculata was probably introduced from a single, or a few, introduction event(s) from Argentina and Brazil. Our population genetic data further demonstrated a higher haplotype and genetic diversity for P . canaliculata and P . maculata in Taiwan compared to other introduced regions.

The study sample consisted of 260 nurses from hospitals affiliated with Zahedan University of Medical Sciences selected through a multistage sampling method. Data on nurses’ occupational role stress, sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, sleep quality, and work‐related factors were collected. A general linear regression model was applied to determine the factors associated with occupational role stress. The findings revealed that the mean total occupational role stress score was 141.41. Among the occupational role stress subscales, nurses had higher mean scores in role overload, role inadequacy, and responsibility. Total occupational role stress score was significantly higher in university graduate nurses than in those holding a high school diploma ( p = 0.005). Moreover, occupational role stress was significantly higher in nurses who slept for 4–6 h ( p = 0.011) and more than 8 h ( p = 0.017) compared to those who slept for 7–8 h a day. In addition, occupational role stress was also significantly higher in nurses with poor sleep quality ( p = 0.03). In addition, nurses who worked more than 8 h a day reported significantly higher occupational role stress ( p = 0.008). There was no statistically significant association between occupational role stress with age, gender, marital status, BMI, exercise, having a second job, shift work, ward assignment, and work experience. The findings emphasize the necessity of tailored interventions for managing occupational role stress in nurses with higher education and longer work hours. Improving work conditions, along with promoting healthy sleep habits, is a crucial step in reducing occupational role stress.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/nrp/6651221","authors":["Raheleh Hashemi Habybabady","Hassan Okati‐Aliabad","Mahdi Mohammadi"],"tags":["Medicine","Occupational stress","Traditional medicine","Clinical psychology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1155/nrp/6651221","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W7165143973","name":"Session 8.

Achieving rapid and deep emission reductions requires large-scale deployment of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), which is included as a critical component in all major net-zero pathways. However, the high cost of CO2 capture remains one of the most significant barriers to accelerating the adoption of CCUS. Among capture methods, solvent absorption is the most widely applied for post-combustion point-source emissions; however, it is highly energy-intensive, with over 80% of the total energy demand arising from solvent regeneration. Studies indicate that energy consumption accounts for around 40% of the operating cost of CO2 capture, highlighting the urgent need for energy-efficient regeneration strategies. This paper presents CO2CRC’s novel hybrid capture technology, which addresses the challenges of large footprint and energy consumption by significantly reducing solvent regeneration costs. This novel technology meets the challenges through lower regeneration temperatures, reduced steam consumption, elimination of solvent phase change during regeneration, and the potential integration of waste heat. Together, these innovations demonstrate a pathway to lowering capture costs and enabling broader deployment of CCUS in support of global decarbonisation.

Two economic sectors contributing strongly to climate change due to their high greenhouse gas emissions are industry and transport. Whereas cross-sectoral dependencies between the energy and the transport sector are widely investigated, measures that can facilitate an emission mitigation in the crossings of the industrial and the transportation sector are merely researched systematically, diminishing the perspective of a manufacturing firms' supply chain. To contribute to this gap, the focal paper presents the results of a Systematic Literature Review conducted in 2021, presenting first, a comprehensive categorization of measures that are presented in scientific literature and can be implemented to decarbonize transport operations of manufacturing companies, and second, the expected maximum reduction potential of those measures. Analyzing 81 peer-reviewed articles from several journals, the authors identify a total of 215 measures and assign them to 27 categories in nine clusters, that can be adopted by manufacturing companies themselves or by their logistics service providers. In general, categories related to drivetrain and fuel selection stand out in the number of identified measures, but a consensus on the reduction potential of those measures is missing, which is, among others, due to different technologies, baseline scenarios, assumptions, and carbon intensities. The most confidential estimation of the reduction potential can be made in the mode selection, where the median of all found figures is located at 28.5%. The lowest number of measures was found in the cluster Shippers’ Employees, highlighting the need to further investigate the role of the human in decarbonizing the economy.

The product exhibited an ability to decrease the minimum miscibility pressure of scCO2 during a solubility test and demonstrated a favorable extraction efficiency in a low-permeability tight core displacement test.

The result demonstrates that the incorporation of the thickener PVE can effectively mitigate gas channeling, further improve oil displacement efficiency, and inflict minimal damage to crude oil. The mechanism of thickening was analyzed through molecular simulation. The calculated trend of thickening exhibited excellent agreement with the experimental measurement rule.

Capsules with semipermeable hydrogel shells have been demonstrated but may exhibit poor mechanical properties. Here, amphiphilic polymer conetworks (APCNs) based on poly(2‐hydroxyethyl acrylate)‐ linked by ‐polydimethylsiloxane (PHEA‐ l ‐PDMS) are introduced as a new class of wall materials in double emulsion microcapsules. These APCNs are mechanically robust silicone hydrogels that are swellable and permeable to water and are soft and elastic when dry or swollen. Therefore, the microcapsules can be dried and rehydrated multiple times or shrunken in sodium chloride salt solutions without getting damaged. Moreover, the APCNs are permeable for hydrophilic organic compounds and impermeable for macromolecules. Thus, they can be loaded with macromolecules or nanoparticles during microfluidic formation and with organic molecules after capsule synthesis. The microcapsules serve as microreactors for catalytically active platinum nanoparticles that decompose hydrogen peroxide. Finally, the surface of the APCN microcapsules can be selectively functionalized with a cholesterol‐based linker.

In the context of continuous technological progress, the expansion of the digital economy may provide avenues for emissions reduction. Methods This paper constructs an index to measure digital economy progress using the entropy approach, based on data from 30 Chinese provinces from 2010 to 2024. Panel data regression models are then applied to examine the relationship between digitalization and carbon emission intensity, along with the mediating mechanisms involved. Results Baseline regression estimates suggest that both the overall digital economy index and its three core sub-components (with coefficients of −1.801, −7.784, −6.904, and −3.165, respectively) are associated with declines in carbon emission intensity, pointing to a potential mitigating effect. Considerable regional heterogeneity is observed, with the eastern and central regions exhibiting a more pronounced and statistically significant negative association, while the effect appears weaker and statistically insignificant in the western region.

Aromatherapy can affect patients’ anxiety levels and improve hemodynamic indices. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of aromatherapy on anxiety and hemodynamic indices in ACS patients. Methods This study was a double-blind, randomized clinical trial conducted on 154 ACS patients. The participants were classified into two equal groups of intervention and placebo through the block randomization method. The data collection tools consisted of demographic information, a shortened 6-item version of the Spielberger questionnaire and a form of hemodynamic indices. For two consecutive nights, the intervention group inhaled 7 drops of the chamomile essential oil (%10) and the placebo group inhaled 7 drops of the sesame oil poured on a sterile cotton ball. The hemodynamic indices were collected half an hour before, one and four hours after the intervention until the next morning. The Spielberger questionnaire was completed once before the intervention and once after the end of the intervention, by the researcher through an interview. The number of heart rate (HR) was counted for a full minute. Also, the blood pressure (BP) of all the samples was measured by the researcher. Data analysis was done using Chi-square, paired t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) in SPSS 22 . Results The mean and standard deviation of the age of patients were 58/2 ± 11.6 and 59.7% of them were female. The results of ANOVA showed a significantly lower anxiety score as well as systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and HR in the intervention group compared to those of the placebo group ( P < 0.001).

Because of its unique features, shale is one of the most intriguing options in this area. Adsorption is the method through which CO2 is stored in shale, particularly in its supercritical condition. Adsorption isotherm models can be used to deduce the behaviour and mechanisms of this adsorption. Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Astakhov (D-A), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) models are among the many available for CO2 modelling on shale. We attempted to fit these models to experimental data gathered from literature sources in this study, concentrating on four separate shale samples from various places in China. Among these samples are LMX1 and LMX2 from the Silurian Longmaxi Formation, WF1 from the Ordovician Wufeng Formation in the Sichuan Basin, and YC from the Ordos Basin's Yanchang Formation. The total organic carbon (TOC) content of these shales, three marine and one continental, ranged from 3.19 to 4.27. The experimental data used to fit the model was obtained at three different temperatures: 35, 45, and 55°C. The Langmuir and D-A models offered the best fit for the data across all samples and temperature. R2 values 0.93429 (for YC rock at 35°C) to 0.99287 (for WF1 at 35°C) for Langmuir and 0.88879 to 0.99201 LMX1 at 35°C. The theoretical underpinnings of these models, which account for the physical properties and adsorption dynamics of supercritical CO2 on shale, are responsible for their performance. Finally, this study adds to our understanding of CO2 adsorption on shale, giving useful insights for future research and potential practical uses in CO2 storage. More research is needed, however, to completely understand the mechanisms and influencing factors of CO2 adsorption in various types of shale, as well as to develop the models used to forecast this behaviour.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202448803009","authors":["Zaheer Hussain","Dzeti Farhah"],"tags":["Oil shale","Shale gas","Carbon dioxide","Adsorption","Sorption isotherm"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202448803009","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412086933","name":"Prospective techno-economic assessment of carbon capture & utilization and biobased processes for methanol and ethanol production","source":"openalex","abstract":"A comparison of chemical methanol and microbiological ethanol production routes from various feedstocks (sugar, side-streams, CO 2 and biogas) under a prospective 2050 scenario.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5se00435g","authors":["Marc P.

This growing phenomenon poses serious threats to public health worldwide, as it could make treating infections significantly more difficult in the future. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate antibiotic consumption and use patterns in a tertiary hospital in Sana'a, Yemen, by comparing Prescribed Daily Doses (PDD) to Defined Daily Doses (DDD), and identifying factors associated with antibiotic misuse and its impact on patient outcomes. METHODS: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among adult inpatients in a tertiary hospital in Sana'a, Yemen over two months (January 12 to March 11, 2024), involving 597 patients. Data on antibiotic prescriptions, patient demographics, and outcomes were collected. RESULTS: A high prevalence of antibiotic use was observed (92.5%), with a notable proportion of prescriptions from the \"Watch\" category (56.7%). Significant PDD-DDD deviations were common, encompassing both overuse (36.8%) and underuse (63.2%). Factors associated with antibiotic deviations included patient age (26-44 years), gender (female), and ward type (private). The most commonly prescribed antibiotics were Ceftriaxone (33.6%), Metronidazole (21.8%), Vancomycin (6.0%), Levofloxacin (4.9%), Imipenem/Cilastatin (4.7%), and Moxifloxacin (3.6%). Notable deviations from DDD were observed for Levofloxacin (overuse by 28%), Imipenem/Cilastatin (underuse by 40.5%), and other agents. Antibiotic misuse was associated with longer hospital stays and less favorable discharge outcomes. CONCLUSION: The study found an alarmingly high prevalence of antibiotic use and excessive consumption, with both overuse and underuse patterns observed, underscoring the need for effective regulatory interventions and improved antibiotic stewardship in Yemen.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0330714","authors":["Adel Ahmed Alshaikh","Mohammed Abdullah Kubas"],"tags":["Cross-sectional study","Tertiary care","Medicine","Antibiotics","Prospective cohort study"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0330714","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4392581957","name":"Barriers to implementing patient safety incident reporting and learning guidelines in specialised care units, KwaZulu-Natal: A qualitative study","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Globally, increased occurrences of patient safety incidents have become a public concern. The implementation of Patient safety incidents reporting and learning guidelines is fundamental to reducing preventable patient harm. To improve the implementation of these guidelines in specialised care units in KwaZulu-Natal, the views of healthcare professionals were unearthed. AIM: This study explores the healthcare professionals' views toward the implementation of Patient safety incident reporting and learning guidelines in specialised care units. METHODS: A descriptive, explorative qualitative approach was used to collect qualitative data from healthcare professionals working in specialised care units. The study was conducted in specialised care units of three purposely selected public hospitals in two districts of KwaZulu-Natal. Group discussions and semi-structured interviews were conducted from August to October 2021. Content data analysis was performed using Tesch's method of analysis process. RESULTS: The main themes that emerged during data analysis were; ineffective reporting system affecting the communication of Patient safety incident guidelines, inadequate institutional and management support for the healthcare professionals, insufficient education and training of healthcare professionals, and poor human resources affecting the implementation of Patient Safety Incident guidelines. The findings highlighted that there were more major barriers to the implementation of the Patient safety incident reporting and learning guidelines. CONCLUSION: This study confirmed that the Patient safety incident reporting and learning guidelines are still not successfully implemented in the specialised care units and the barriers to implementation were highlighted. For rigorous implementation in South Africa, the study recommends revised Patient safety incident reporting and learning guidelines, designed in consultation with the frontline healthcare professionals. These must consist of standardised, simple- user-friendly reporting process as well as a better implementation strategy to guide the healthcare professionals. Continuous professional development programmes may play an important role in the facilitation of the implementation process.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0289857","authors":["Thusile M.

The poor sanitary conditions of rural and urban families observed in certain regions may favor the transmission of bacterial infections between animals and humans, including those promoted by strains resistant to practically all available antibiotics. In Angola, in particular, the presence of these strains in human hospitals has already been described. Nevertheless, the information on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) prevalence in Angola is still scarce, especially regarding veterinary isolates. This review aimed to synthesize data on antimicrobial resistance in African countries, with a special focus on Angola, from a One Health perspective. The main goals were to identify research gaps that may require further analysis, and to draw attention to the importance of the conscious use of antimicrobials and the establishment of preventive strategies, aiming to guarantee the safeguarding of public health. To understand these issues, the available literature on AMR in Africa was reviewed. We searched PubMed for articles pertinent to AMR in relevant pathogens in Angola and other African countries. In this review, we focused on AMR rates and surveillance capacity. The principal findings were that, in Africa, especially in sub-Saharan countries, AMR incidence is high due to the lack of legislation on antibiotics, to the close interaction of humans with animals and the environment, and to poverty. The information about current resistance patterns of common pathogenic bacteria is sparse, and the number of quality studies is limited in Angola and in some other Sub-Saharan African countries. Also, studies on the \"One Health Approach\" focusing on the environment, animals, and humans, are scarce in Africa. The surveillance capacity is minimal, and only a low number of AMR surveillance programs and national health programs are implemented. Most international and cooperative surveillance programs, when implemented, are not properly followed, concluded, nor reported. In Angola, the national health plan does not include AMR control, and there is a consistent omission of data submitted to international surveillance programs. By identifying One Health strengths of each country, AMR can be controlled with a multisectoral approach and governmental commitment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.onehlt.2024.100691","authors":["Romay Coragem da Costa","Isa Serrano","Lélia Chambel","Manuela Oliveira"],"tags":["Safeguarding","Antibiotic resistance","Developing country","One Health","Environmental health"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.onehlt.2024.100691","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4381390507","name":"The Potential of E-fuels to Decarbonise Ships and Aircraft","source":"openalex","abstract":"This publication examines the potential of novel fuels to decarbonise aviation and maritime shipping.

However, this work has shown that accumulation of liquid organic products in the catholyte of a flow cell would lead to a significant increase in the overpotential.

The storage of CO2 in deep saline reservoirs is acknowledged as one of the top practical and promising methods to reduce CO2 emissions and meet climate goals. The North Dakota Industrial Commission (NDIC) recently approved the fourth Class VI permit for a carbon capture and storage project in the Williston basin of North Dakota for the geological CO2 storage in the Broom Creek formation. The current research aimed to conduct a comprehensive petrophysical characterization and rock physics modeling of the Broom Creek deep saline reservoir to unravel the mineralogical distribution and to understand the variations in petrophysical and elastic properties across the formation. This study utilized geophysical well logs, routine core analysis, and advanced core analysis to evaluate the Broom Creek formation. Multimineral petrophysical analysis calibrated with X-ray diffraction results reveals that this formation primarily comprises highly porous clean sandstone intervals with low-porosity interspersed with dolomite, anhydrite, and silt/clay layers. The formation exhibits varying porosities up to 0.3 and Klinkenberg air permeabilities up to ∼2600 mD. The formation water resistivity using Archie’s equation is approximately 0.055 ohm-m at 150 °F, corresponding to around 63,000 ppm NaCl salinity, which is consistent with prior data. The pore throat distribution in the samples from clean sandstone intervals is primarily situated in the macro-mega scales.

The accurate prediction of effective elastic properties was achieved by developing a rock physics template.

This review explores the integration of circular economy principles into oil and gas operations, focusing on sustainable resource management from a business perspective. The traditional linear model of extraction, use, and disposal often leads to significant waste and environmental degradation. In contrast, a circular economy emphasizes minimizing waste, maximizing resource efficiency, and fostering the continuous use of resources through recycling, reuse, and remanufacturing. Key circular economy practices in the oil and gas industry include waste minimization, resource recovery, and the implementation of closed-loop systems. Companies are investing in technologies that allow for the recovery and reuse of by-products, such as capturing and repurposing flared gases and recycling drilling fluids. Additionally, the adoption of circular supply chains and sustainable procurement practices is becoming more prevalent, ensuring that materials and products are sourced and managed in ways that reduce environmental impact. From a business perspective, circular economy practices offer several advantages. They contribute to cost savings by reducing waste disposal costs and improving resource efficiency. Enhanced resource management can lead to reduced operational risks and compliance with stringent environmental regulations. Furthermore, circular practices can bolster corporate reputation and stakeholder trust, as they demonstrate a commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. Despite these benefits, the transition to a circular economy in the oil and gas sector faces challenges, including technological barriers, investment costs, and the need for industry-wide collaboration. However, successful implementation of circular practices can position companies as leaders in sustainability, driving innovation and setting new industry standards. This study highlights the role of circular economy practices in advancing sustainable resource management in the oil and gas industry, offering a comprehensive overview of how these practices align with business objectives and contribute to long-term environmental and economic benefits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.30574/gscarr.2024.20.3.0353","authors":["Yetunde Adenike Adebayo","Augusta Heavens Ikevuje","Jephta Mensah Kwakye","Andrew Emuobosa Esiri"],"tags":["Perspective (graphical)","Business","Petroleum industry","Circular economy","Resource (disambiguation)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.30574/gscarr.2024.20.3.0353","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W7118922842","name":"Microwave-Induced Single-Stage CO 2 Hydrogenation to Light Olefins over a ZnO-ZrO 2 /SAPO-34 Tandem Catalyst","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The catalytic conversion of CO 2 to light olefins offers a promising route for sustainable carbon utilization.

Evidence suggests that some methanotrophs, including Methylococcus capsulatus , can also use CO 2 as a carbon source, making these bacteria promising candidates for developing biotechnologies targeting greenhouse gas capture and mitigation. However, a deeper understanding of the dual CH 4 and CO 2 metabolism is needed to guide methanotroph strain improvements and realize their industrial utility. In this study, we show that M. capsulatus expresses five carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoforms, one α-CA, one γ-CA, and three β-CAs, that play a role in its inorganic carbon metabolism and CO 2 -dependent growth. The CA isoforms are differentially expressed, and transcription of all isoform genes is induced in response to CO 2 limitation. CA null mutant strains exhibited markedly impaired growth compared to an isogenic wild-type control, suggesting that the CA isoforms have independent, non-redundant roles in M. capsulatus metabolism and physiology. Overexpression of some, but not all, CA isoforms improved bacterial growth kinetics and decreased CO 2 evolution from CH 4 -consuming cultures. Notably, we developed an engineered methanotrophic biocatalyst overexpressing the native α-CA and β-CA with a 2.5-fold improvement in the conversion of CH 4 to biomass. Given that product yield is a significant cost driver of methanotroph-based bioprocesses, the engineered strain developed here could improve the economics of CH 4 biocatalysis, including the production of single-cell protein from natural gas or anaerobic digestion-derived biogas. IMPORTANCE Methanotrophs transform CH 4 into CO 2 and multi-carbon compounds, so they play a critical role in the global carbon cycle and are of interest for biotechnology applications. Some methanotrophs, including Methylococcus capsulatus , can also use CO 2 as a carbon source, but this dual one-carbon metabolism is incompletely understood. In this study, we show that M. capsulatus carbonic anhydrases are critical for this bacterium to optimally utilize CO 2 . We developed an engineered strain with improved CO 2 utilization capacity that increased the overall carbon conversion to cell biomass. The improvements to methanotroph-based product yields observed here are expected to reduce costs associated with CH 4 conversion bioprocesses.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1128/msphere.00496-24","authors":["Spencer A.

Different Ni and Ce loadings were screened, and the catalyst with 15 % wt. Ni and 10 % wt.

Collectively with other ambitious countries, this might set a precedent for Europe. Within a full European energy system, this study explores early decarbonisation pathways in the hard-to-abate sectors, evaluating outcomes for energy equity, supply security, and sustainability in Denmark under enacted policies. We model 33 European countries using PyPSA-Eur and impose cross-sector carbon budgets from national 2030 commitments to optimise capacity expansion and dispatch of electricity, heating, transport, hydrogen and biomass, including CCS. For Denmark, we apply 9-node spatial resolution and extend the carbon budget setting to include sectoral decarbonisation trajectories, including agriculture. Results show that carbon abatement costs can double if agriculture fails, heating electrification delays, or biomass is diverted from dual use for CCS. System reliability during critical periods relies on thermal storage, strategic biomass use, and flexible electrolysis. Furthermore, early renewable hydrogen adoption may yield export advantages to less decarbonised grids. We recommend: (1) building infrastructure that utilises sector coupling (electrified district heating, CCS, flexible electrolysis), (2) coordinating heat pumps and central heating with CCS to use biomass strategically, and (3) applying comparable carbon pricing across agriculture, heating, and industry, with follow-up actions if voluntary measures fail. While the share of hard-to-abate sectors varies by country, the framework is applicable to other European states with ambitious near-term targets, and the cross-sector dynamics are relevant across national contexts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2025.126568","authors":["Frederik Fristed","Simon Tønning","Zhiyuan Xie","Lissy Langer","Gorm Bruun Andresen"],"tags":["Economics","Economy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2025.126568","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4408384213","name":"Clusters in context: Towards a typology of industrial decarbonisation initiatives","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Policy‐makers and researchers are increasingly focused on the decarbonisation of clusters of energy‐intensive industries.

After radical debridement, complex surgical correction is needed. We describe the results of our mitral valve sparing approach. METHODS: Between January 2004 and December 2020, 60 patients underwent operation for infective endocarditis of the aortic root with extension towards the mitral valve at 2 centres in the Netherlands. Early and late clinical and echocardiographic outcomes were studied. RESULTS: Prosthetic valve endocarditis was present in 42 (70%) patients and emergent or salvage surgery was performed in 8 (13%) patients. After radical debridement of all infected tissue, mitral valve repair was feasible in 48 (80%) patients. Early mortality occurred in 11 (18%) patients while mechanical circulatory support was needed in 8 (13%) patients. At 10 years after surgery, the estimated reintervention-free survival rate was 51.9% (95% confidence interval 37.0-66.8%). Eight patients underwent reintervention; this was more common in patients who underwent aortic valve rather than root replacement and in patients in whom mitral valve repair was performed without ring annuloplasty. For 48 patients who underwent mitral valve repair, the estimated freedom from recurrent mitral regurgitation rate was 64.4% (95% confidence interval 40.1-88.7%) at 10 years after surgery.

Optimal surgical technique is crucial to lower the risk of late reintervention.

However, conventional thermal recovery methods such as steam injection are plagued by high heat loss, substantial carbon emissions, and significant water consumption, making them incompatible with carbon reduction goals and the sustainable socioeconomic development demands. A new method of high-frequency electromagnetic in situ heating, which targets polar molecules, can convert electromagnetic energy into heat so as to achieve rapid volumetric heating of the reservoir. This method has the potential to overcome the drawbacks of traditional techniques. Nevertheless, it faces significant drawbacks such as limited heating range and inadequate energy supply during later production stages, which necessitates auxiliary enhancement measures. Various enhancement measures have been reported, including nitrogen injection, hydrocarbon solvent injection, or the use of nano-metal oxide injections. These methods are hindered by issues such as pure nitrogen being easy to breakthrough, high costs, and metal pollution. Through extensive literature review, this article charts the evolution of high-frequency electromagnetic in situ heating technology for heavy oil and the current understanding of the coupled heat and mass transfer mechanisms underlying this technology. Moreover, based on a profound analysis of the technology’s progression trends, this work introduces a new direction: CO2-N2 co-injection as an enhancement strategy for high-frequency electromagnetic in situ heavy oil recovery. There is promising potential for the development of new technologies in the future that combine high efficiency, low carbon emissions, environmental friendliness, economic viability, and energy conservation.

However, market instruments, which could be efficient and motivating for market entities, should have received more attention. In this article, the influence of carbon derivatives on decarbonization investment and financing is analyzed for different technology progresses and price trajectories. Results show that carbon futures and options have de-risking ability, lowering expected variation and financial cost, and consequently, making decarbonization project feasible.

The simulations are performed for de-Laval nozzles, exploring the two-phase shock features for three-dimensional (3D), two-dimensional (2D), and two-dimensional axisymmetric geometries.

Identifying reliable delirium biomarkers remains challenging. Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) offers an objective, easily obtainable measure suitable for hospital monitoring. Objective: We aimed to analyse the relationship between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) values obtained by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and the subsequent development of delirium. Methods: Studies eligible for inclusion in our systematic review evaluated rSO2 values obtained by NIRS or a used a similar method to study hospitalised patients aged 18 years or older, some of whom subsequently developed delirium. We searched MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science without restrictions to 24 March 2024. Two review authors independently assessed the methodological quality of the included studies using Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools. Using a random-effects model in RevMan v 5.4.0 (Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, UK), we analysed baseline and minimum rSO2 values. Results were presented as means and mean differences (MDs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We followed PRISMA guidelines and registered our review protocol in PROSPERO (CRD42024523573). Results (or Findings): We included 22 studies (20 in the meta-analysis) published between 2009 and 2024 and involving 5757 participants. The delirium group had a lower mean baseline rSO2 value (62.47%, 95% CI 58.40 to 66.55) compared with the non-delirium group (64.24%, 95% CI 61.33 to 67.15). Meta-analysis of effect estimates confirmed this result (MD −2.92%, 95% CI −4.38 to −1.47). The MD between the delirium and non-delirium group was larger among patients assessed with the INVOS device and patients who underwent cardiac surgery. Studies that analysed baseline values according to sensor location showed a larger MD in rSO2 values obtained via a right-sided sensor. Conclusions: Our results show lower baseline and minimum rSO2 in hospitalised patients who subsequently developed delirium.

Nurses play a critical role in providing oral healthcare, yet studies indicate gaps in their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) in this area. This study aimed to evaluate the KAP of nurses regarding oral healthcare for hospitalized patients in northeastern Iran, a region with limited healthcare resources. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023 among 112 nurses working in three hospitals in Torbat Heydarieh, northeastern Iran. Data were collected over a two-month period using a convenience sampling method and a validated questionnaire assessing knowledge (11 items), attitudes (16 items), and practices (8 items). The questionnaire underwent face and content validation, and its reliability was confirmed through a pilot study (Cronbach's alpha > 0.8). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16, with descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and correlation analysis. RESULTS: The mean scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 7.01 ± 1.47 (out of 11), 31.58 ± 4.93 (out of 80), and 4.31 ± 1.05 (out of 8), respectively. Significant correlations were found between knowledge and attitudes (r = 0.279, p < 0.01) and attitudes and practices (r = 0.149, p < 0.01). Nurses with higher education levels and more work experience demonstrated better knowledge and attitudes, though these did not always translate into improved practices. Male nurses had significantly higher knowledge scores than female nurses (p = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS: The study highlights moderate knowledge, positive attitudes, and suboptimal practices among nurses regarding oral healthcare. The weak correlation between knowledge, attitudes, and practices suggests that improving oral healthcare requires not only education but also institutional support and resource availability. Given the relatively limited sample size and the use of convenience sampling, caution is advised when generalizing these findings to other populations. Targeted training programs, interdisciplinary collaboration, and systemic changes are recommended to enhance oral healthcare practices in hospitals.

Land-based climate mitigation strategies in India can be implemented by utilizing underutilized marginal lands or increasing land availability through technological interventions to close agricultural yield gaps. Both below-ground (e.g., soil carbon) and above-ground (e.g., standing tree biomass) options offer viable pathways for such measures. Key strategies include cultivating perennial bioenergy feedstocks, afforestation, establishing fast-growing Miyawaki forests, restoring wetlands and mangroves, and applying biosolids to land. However, caution is essential to prevent unintended consequences, such as clearing natural forests or introducing microplastics into soils. The cost of carbon sequestration and the resilience or permanence of stored carbon will be critical factors in determining the preferred approach. Additionally, land-based strategies often overlap spatially, making GIS-based tools indispensable for identifying optimal solutions tailored to local conditions. Integrating these strategies into the national carbon budget can enhance transparency and contribute significantly to India’s net-zero emissions goal.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fclim.2025.1538816","authors":["Deepak Jaiswal","Khadeeja Mol Siddique","T.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY/DESIGN: The following database searches were conducted: Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane library, Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL plus, Ovid Emcare, PsycINFO, and Ovid Embase. Two reviewers conducted the data selection and critical appraisal independently, following the JBI evaluation guidelines. Seventeen articles of high quality were included in this review. SETTINGS: This systematic review focused on critical care settings in healthcare facilities, including Emergency Departments, Intensive Care Units, High Dependency Units and Coronary Care Units in public or private hospitals. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The overarching outcomes evaluated were patient safety outcomes (e, g, the development of a pressure injury), patient safety outcome measures (i.e., the application of tools used to measure patient safety outcomes e.g. the frequency with which pressure areas are assessed) and the processes of care (e.g. conducting regular pressure area care to prevent pressure injuries). RESULTS: In critical care settings, nursing informatics were associated with promotion of patient safety and prevention of adverse incidents, including reducing the incidence of pressure ulcers and medication errors; helping control blood glucose levels; decreasing the length of hospital stay; and improving compliance with care bundles and overall screening completion rates for risks of pressure ulcers, falls, substance use and agitation in emergency departments. CONCLUSION: The implementation of nursing informatics in critical care areas has been successful in promoting patient safety. While informatics can be costly to introduce, there is evidence these interventions can reduce costs by preventing adverse events. IMPLICATIONS FOR CRITICAL PRACTICE: Electronic health information record systems, clinical decision support systems and telehealth can increase compliance with screening and delivery of care aligned with guidelines across a range of presentations and critical care contexts. With the growing prevalence of nursing informatics, these systems should be considered for more widespread introduction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12912-025-03195-6","authors":["Qian Shi","Rosie Wotherspoon","Julia Morphet"],"tags":["Medicine","Nursing research","Nursing management","Health informatics","Nursing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12912-025-03195-6","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415489521","name":"Do Environmental Education Programs Reduce Pollution and Improve Air Quality?

Five research questions were answered. Studies published between 1977 and 2024 were included, totaling 7289 participants aged 12 to 85. The geographic distribution was concentrated in China (five studies) and the United States (four studies), followed by South Korea, India, Australia, and other countries, with fewer publications. The methodological predominance was experimental studies; observational studies were also analyzed, although less frequently. The period with the greatest increase in the number of publications was between 2020 and 2024. The educational methods most commonly used in the studies were lectures and the delivery of information leaflets. Particulate matter with diameters of 2.5 μm and 10 μm (PM2.5 and PM10) were the most widely investigated pollutants in the studies. From our analyses, it was observed that the educational interventions to improve air quality, adopted in the selected studies, resulted in the acquisition of knowledge about the environmental effects and the importance of individual actions. The changes in behavior included the adoption of more sustainable practices and an improvement in air quality in the environment, with a significant reduction in pollutant emissions.

Traditional submerged cell cultures lack airway-like polarity and structural complexity, limiting Mhp in vitro studies. This study utilized a porcine air-liquid interface porcine respiratory epithelial cell (ALI-PREC) model to investigate Mhp infection dynamics, cytopathic effects (CPEs), and host-specific responses. Primary tracheal epithelial cells isolated from three 6-week-old pigs were cultured under air-liquid interface conditions for 4 weeks to form differentiated pseudostratified, ciliated epithelium. ALI-PRECs were inoculated with Mhp strain 232 at 10 5.84 , 10 6.84 , and 10 7.84 CCU/mL for 2 or 5 h and monitored for 144 h. Quantitative microscopy assessed total particle count, area, average size, and percentage area covered by particles, normalized against mock controls. Mhp adhered within 2 h, inducing CPE (cell rounding, clustering, and detachment) and reducing ciliary activity in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Mhp DNA was detected in the epithelium by 24 h post-inoculation (hpi) and in subnatants at higher doses, demonstrating epithelial barrier disruption. Ciliary beating persisted in some replicates, suggesting interindividual variability in host responses. Friis medium had no detectable impact on ALI-PRECs, validating its suitability for infection studies. Gene expression analysis revealed downregulation of ciliary motility genes ( ROPN1L , LRRC51 , CEP162 , and LRRC6 ) at 72 hpi and upregulation of intercellular junction genes ( CLDN1 , CDH1 , and CTNND1 ) by 120 hpi, suggesting a wound healing response. The ALI-PREC model effectively mirrors key aspects of Mhp pathogenesis, providing a robust platform for studying host-pathogen interactions and identifying therapeutic targets. IMPORTANCE Despite its economic impact on pigs, the mechanisms by which Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae ( Mhp ) causes enzootic pneumonia remain poorly understood. Early infection events (bacterial exposure and adherence) are hard to study in vitro because traditional cell cultures lack airway complexity and cellular diversity. We developed an in vitro model replicating porcine airway structure and cell populations. Using this model, we showed that Mhp rapidly adheres to airway cells and disrupts ciliary function and epithelial integrity in a dose- and time-dependent manner. These effects coincide with altered expression of genes governing ciliary motility and cell-cell junctions. Importantly, our model revealed natural variability in cytopathic responses among pigs, indicating that host-specific factors influence disease progression. These insights may guide personalized strategies for preventing and treating swine respiratory infections.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1128/spectrum.01998-25","authors":["Ana F.

However, graphene synthesis’s costly and complex process significantly impairs researchers’ endeavors to explore its properties and structure experimentally. Molecular dynamics simulation is a well-established and useful tool for investigating graphene’s atomic structure and dynamic behavior at the nanoscale without requiring expensive and complex experiments. The accuracy of the molecular dynamics simulation depends on the potential functions. This work assesses the performance of various potential functions available for graphene in mechanical properties prediction. The following two cases are considered: pristine graphene and pre-cracked graphene. The most popular fifteen potentials have been assessed. Our results suggest that diverse potentials are suitable for various applications. REBO and Tersoff potentials are the best for simulating monolayer pristine graphene, and the MEAM and the AIREBO-m potentials are recommended for those with crack defects because of their respective utilization of the electron density and inclusion of the long-range interaction. We recommend the AIREBO-m potential for a general case of classical molecular dynamics study. This work might help to guide the selection of potentials for graphene simulations and the development of further advanced interatomic potentials.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cryst14110960","authors":["Zhiwei Ma","Yongkang Tan","Xintian Cai","Xue Chen","Tan Shi","Jianfeng Jin","Yifang Ouyang","Qing Peng"],"tags":["Graphene","Classical mechanics","Mechanics","Physics","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cryst14110960","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410915327","name":"The effect of an ISBAR-based clinical supervision model during handover on clinical decision-making and self-efficacy of nursing internship students: a quasi-experimental study","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Nursing internship students often lack the necessary clinical decision-making skills, confidence, and experience due to limited competence. To ensure safe and high-quality care, nursing faculty must train graduates with the self-efficacy required to make effective decisions in complex, dynamic, and high-stress healthcare environments. The handover process involves the information that plays a critical role in clinical decision-making and care planning. One of the frameworks used in handover process is ISBAR (Identification, Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation). The clinical supervision model serves as an educational and supportive approach aimed at enhancing self-efficacy and skills, including the use of handover. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the impact of an ISBAR-based Clinical Supervision Model (CSM) during handover on clinical decision-making and self-efficacy in nursing internship students. METHOD: This quasi-experimental, two-group (pre-test and post-test) study was conducted in selected hospitals affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2024. Participants were selected through convenience sampling and then randomly allocated to either the intervention or control group. Data were collected using the ISBAR communication checklist, the Self-Efficacy in Clinical Performance (SECP) questionnaire, the Clinical Decision-Making questionnaire, and the Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale (MCSS). The clinical supervision model and routine supervision were administered over six sessions for the intervention and control groups, respectively. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. Independent t-tests and chi-square tests were used to assess baseline differences between groups. Paired t-tests evaluated within-group changes in clinical self-efficacy and clinical decision-making scores. ANCOVA was applied to compare ISBAR communication scores across six time points and post-intervention clinical self-efficacy and decision-making scores, controlling for pre-intervention values. Repeated measures ANOVA assessed within-group changes in mean ISBAR scores over time, while MANOVA examined multiple, interrelated ISBAR subscale scores. A significance level of p < 0.05 was set for all analyses. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the intervention and control groups (p > 0.05). According to the within-group analysis, changes in the ISBAR communication scores over time were significant in both the intervention and control groups (p Time < 0.001), with a greater increase observed in the intervention group (p Intervention < 0.001). The intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in clinical decision-making (p < 0.001) compared to the control group. Clinical self-efficacy showed significant improvement in both the control and intervention groups after the intervention (P < 0.05). However, between-group analysis showed that the increase was higher in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.001).) The mean score of the Manchester questionnaire in the intervention group in this study was 130.30, reflecting the high impact of implementing the clinical supervision model. CONCLUSION: The findings revealed that the use of the clinical supervision model based on the ISBAR framework led to improvements in clinical self-efficacy and clinical decision-making, alongside the enhancement of handover skills in nursing internship students. Therefore, it is recommended that this model be utilized in the education of nursing students and newly graduated nurses to ensure safe and high-quality care.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-025-07426-x","authors":["Faezeh Gheisari","Sedigheh Farzi","Sedigheh Farzi","Mohammad Javad Tarrahi","Tahere Momeni-Ghaleghasemi","Saba Farzi","Saba Farzi","Fatemeh Nazari","Reza Tajmir Riahi"],"tags":["Internship","Medical education","Handover","Clinical decision making","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-025-07426-x","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411215015","name":"The Dynamic Bidirectional Causality Between Carbon Pricing and Green Technology Innovation in China: A Sub-Sample Time-Varying Approach","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study examined the dynamic relationship between China’s carbon pricing (CP) and green technology innovation (GTI) using monthly data from August 2013 to February 2025 through sub-sample rolling-window Granger causality tests. The results revealed a time-varying bidirectional relationship where CP significantly promotes GTI during periods when innovation offset effects dominate (such as from July to October 2021 and October 2023 to March 2024), but inhibits GTI when compliance cost effects prevail (as observed from February to June 2022). Conversely, GTI alternately suppressed CP from June to November 2017 and enhanced it from February to July 2024. These patterns demonstrate that the interaction between CP and GTI is critically shaped by three key factors: policy synergy between carbon markets and complementary environmental regulations, international competitive pressures from carbon border mechanisms, and financial market capacity to support green investments. Based on these findings, we propose a comprehensive policy framework that includes expanding emissions trading to heavy industries, implementing dynamic CP stabilization mechanisms, introducing innovation-linked quota incentives with 1.1 to 1.5 multipliers, and developing integrated green financial instruments. This framework can effectively align CP with GTI to accelerate China’s low-carbon transition while maintaining industrial competitiveness.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17125371","authors":["Yumei Guan","Chi‐Wei Su","Tao Guan"],"tags":["Causality (physics)","Sample (material)","China","Economics","Carbon fibers"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17125371","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4414697703","name":"CRIMINAL LEGAL ASPECTS OF LIABILITY FOR SECURITY VIOLATIONS IN LOGISTICS CHAINS","source":"openalex","abstract":"This article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the criminal legal aspects of implementing unmanned technologies in logistics.The work analyzes the current state of regulatory and legal frameworks for unmanned systems in Ukraine, identifies legislative base gaps, and outlines issues with qualifying offenses.It emphasizes that the legal framework is in the formative stage, including the Air Code of Ukraine, the Law \"On the State Program of Civil Aviation Security,\" and the order of the State Aviation Service №153 dated 08.02.2019.The study's relevance is confirmed by a significant increase in registered UAVs in Ukraine, 347% from 2020 to 2023, reaching 5,830 units as of early 2024.The article systematizes the specifics of cybercrime associated with unmanned technologies, defines key threat vectors, and countermeasures.Statistical data for 2020-2024 are analyzed, demonstrating a 176% increase in cyberattacks on unmanned logistics systems, with 43% of cases characterized by interception of operational control.According to the Cyber Police Department of Ukraine, the number of crimes related to unmanned technologies increased by 345% during 2020-2023, of which 68% directly concerned the logistics sector.The main types of offenses identified include: violation of traffic safety rules or transport operation (Art.286 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), illegal handling of confidential information (Art.182 of the CCU), violation of privacy (Art.162 of the CCU), unauthorized interference with electronic systems (Art.361 of the CCU), as well as illegal operations with prohibited items (Art.262 of the CCU).Particular attention is focused on the problem of determining the subject of crime in cases involving unmanned technologies in logistics, which is one of the key challenges.According to the European Cybersecurity Agency, in 64% of cases, identifying the specific subject was complicated.The issue of civil liability for damage caused by unmanned systems is considered, taking into account their classification as sources of increased danger.A comparative analysis of international experience regulating liability for offenses in unmanned technologies has been conducted, including approaches in the USA and the European Union, where specialized regulatory acts already exist.Based on the obtained research results, concrete proposals have been developed for improving Ukraine's criminal legislation, considering the technological features of unmanned systems and the challenges of digital transformation in the logistics industry.The urgent need for special provisions is emphasized, as the current Criminal Code does not contain norms that would account for the specifics of crimes involving unmanned systems, which leads to difficulties in qualifying actions and ambiguity in judicial practice.These proposals aim to form effective mechanisms for legal response to new types of offenses and ensure the safe functioning of unmanned technologies in logistics.","url":"https://doi.org/10.32782/2307-1745.2025.76.11","authors":["Nataliia Riabykh","Vitalij Grabovets"],"tags":["Business","Liability","Criminal liability","Law and economics","Law"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.32782/2307-1745.2025.76.11","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402148714","name":"Impacts of biochar and slag on carbon sequestration potential and sustainability assessment of MgO-stabilized marine soils: insights from MIP analysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"MgO-based binders enhance soil stability and CO 2 sequestration.

As a result, the search for renewable alternatives has gained serious attention. Microalgae provide a sustainable alternative for biofuel production, offering high growth rates, significant oil yields and productivity, nontoxic nature, higher photosynthesis efficiencies, and the ability to thrive on nonarable land. Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus dimorphus strains were chosen for this study to develop effective harvesting and oil extraction methods for sustainable energy. Three types of harvesting methods are used to optimize slurry yields, viz. flocculation, high‐speed refrigerated centrifugation, and microfiltration. Moreover, two oil extraction methods were considered to enhance efficiency: Soxhlet extraction and the direct boiling method. The centrifugation method provides the fastest harvesting rate and highest slurry yields, followed by membrane separation, while flocculation, though slower, is more cost‐effective and easier to perform. The direct boiling method optimizes the oil extraction process by effectively rupturing microalgae cell walls. Chlorella vulgaris shows a slurry recovery efficiency of 0.76 g per liter of media by centrifuge, consisting of 12%–40% oil content in overall weight; 12.7% of the oil was extracted using Soxhlet extraction, and 18.7% was extracted using the direct boiling method. On the other hand, Scenedesmus dimorphus shows better slurry recovery efficiency of 0.81 g per liter media by centrifuge, consisting of 22%–51% oil content in overall weight, and there is 23.8% oil extracted by using soxhlet extraction and 26.4% for every 10 g of the sample by direct boiling method compared to Chlorella vulgaris. Future research should focus on cost‐effective harvesting and oil extraction methods for microalgae like Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus dimorphus to reduce production costs, maximize biofuel yields, and tackle the global energy crisis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ese3.70111","authors":["Abu Saleh Ahmed","Alamry Ali","Emre Görgün","Mohammed Jameel","Tasmina Khandaker","Md.

The DEA method assesses each province's development resource allocation and carbon emission efficiency. Based on the DEA results, each provinces’ key emission influencing factors can be derived combining with Tobit regression and sensitivity analysis of SD. Policies are then selected based on these factors to gauge their effectiveness. SD method is used to simulate carbon emissions under different policy scenarios in the future. The analysis results present obvious differences in resource allocation and regional characteristics among provinces. Qinghai's emission reduction potential has been preliminarily explored as an example. Energy structure, industry structure, energy intensity, forest coverage, and R&D input intensity are its main influencing factors for carbon emission. The forest carbon sink plays a significant role. The emission reduction of the integrated scenario is not a linear sum of all other scenarios. To ensure the completion of the neutralization goal, further adjustments to the long-term policy and extra measures are needed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s43979-024-00116-5","authors":["Pingyuan Shi","Yingxin Zhang","Yan Meng","Xinge Xu","Junhong Hao","Feng Hong"],"tags":["Tobit model","Carbon fibers","Regional science","Econometrics","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s43979-024-00116-5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4414352515","name":"Kinetics of High-Sensitive Cardiac Troponin I in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Non-ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background/Objectives: Existing data regarding the kinetics of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) are limited. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the kinetics of highly sensitive (hs) cTnI following acute myocardial infarction (MI) in a large-scale, real-world cohort. Methods: A prospective observational cohort study included all consecutive patients admitted to the intensive cardiovascular care unit (ICCU) with ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between January 2020 and April 2024. Hs-cTnI concentrations were measured at the time of presentation and daily thereafter. Results: A total of 1174 STEMI patients [191 females (16.3%)] with a mean age of 63 years and 767 NSTEMI patients [137 females (17.9%)] with a mean age of 66.7 years were enrolled. The average hs-cTnI peak levels were 77,937.99 ng/L and 24,804.73 ng/L for STEMI and NSTEMI patients, respectively. A single peak of hs-cTnI was observed in 83% and 78% of STEMI and NSTEMI patients, respectively, while two peaks were observed in 11% and 19% and three or more peaks were observed in 6% and 3% of STEMI and NSTEMI patients, respectively. A higher number of peaks was associated with a lower ejection fraction and more in-hospital complications. Additionally, a higher number of peaks correlated with a higher in-hospital mortality rate among NSTEMI patients. Conclusions: Most STEMI and NSTEMI patients displayed a monophasic kinetic pattern of hs-cTnI peak levels. However, a greater number of hs-cTnI peaks was linked to a higher incidence of clinical complications, lower ejection fraction, and increased mortality.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/diagnostics15182390","authors":["Adi Haizler","Ranel Loutati","Louay Taha","Mohammad Karmi","Dana Deeb","Mohammed Manassra","Noam Fink","Pierre Sabouret","Jamal S.

The study of codon usage bias (CUB) facilitates a deeper comprehension of the molecular genetic evolution of species and their adaptive strategies. The joint analysis of CUB in chloroplast genomes (cpDNA) offers valuable insights for in-depth research on molecular genetic evolution, biological resource conservation, and elite breeding within this plant family. RESULTS: The base composition and codon usage preferences of the eighteen chloroplast genomes were highly similar, with the GC content of bases at all positions of their codons being less than 50%. This indicates that they preferred A/T bases. Their effective codon numbers were all in the range of 35-61, which indicates that the codon preferences of the chloroplast genomes of the 18 Ampelopsideae plants were relatively weak. A series of analyses indicated that the codon preference of the chloroplast genomes of the 18 Ampelopsideae plants was influenced by a combination of multiple factors, with natural selection being the primary influence. The clustering tree generated based on the relative usage of synonymous codons is consistent with some of the results obtained from the phylogenetic tree of chloroplast genomes, which indicates that the clustering tree based on the relative usage of synonymous codons can be an important supplement to the results of the sequence-based phylogenetic analysis. Eventually, 10 shared best codons were screened on the basis of the chloroplast genomes of 18 species. CONCLUSION: The codon preferences of the chloroplast genome in Ampelopsideae plants are relatively weak and are primarily influenced by natural selection. The codon composition of the chloroplast genomes of the eighteen Ampelopsideae plants and their usage preferences were sufficiently similar to demonstrate that the chloroplast genomes of Ampelopsideae plants are highly conserved. This study provides a scientific basis for the genetic evolution of chloroplast genes in Ampelopsideae species and their suitable strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12863-024-01260-8","authors":["Qun Hu","Jiaqi Wu","Chengcheng Fan","Yongjian Luo","Jun Liu","Zhijun Deng","Qing Li"],"tags":["Vitaceae","Genome","Biology","Chloroplast","Evolutionary biology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12863-024-01260-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404883634","name":"Characteristic Analysis of Indonesian Low and Medium Rank Coals and Their Influence on Carbon Dioxide Adsorption Capacity","source":"openalex","abstract":"Indonesia has great deep-seated coal potential , such as Lakat coal and Muaraenim coal, which can be utilized as a medium for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).

Inducing ferroptosis, while circumventing safety concerns associated with ferrous vectors, through nonferrous ferroptosis is a promising but underexplored frontier in cancer therapy. Histidine phosphatase (LHPP) has emerged as a novel therapeutic target in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the precise mechanism of LHPP against HCC remains unclear. Herein, we explore the effects of upregulating LHPP expression on ferroptosis and tumor immunogenicity induction by simply delivering a miRNA-363-5p inhibitor (miR-363-5pi) via a previously optimized gemcitabine-oleic acid (GOA) prodrug. Efficient miRNA encapsulation was achieved through hydrogen bonding at an optimized GOA/miRNA molar feed ratio of 250:1, affording spherical nanoparticles with a uniform hydrodynamic size of 147.1 nm and a negative potential of -21.5 mV. The mechanism of this LHPP-ferroptosis crosstalk is disclosed to be an inhibited phosphorylation of the PI3K/Akt pathway, leading to a remarkable tumor inhibition rate of 88.2% in nude mice bearing Bel-7402 tumor xenografts via a combination of LHPP-triggered nonferrous ferroptosis and GOA-induced chemotherapy. The biocompatibility of GOA/miR-363-5pi is strongly supported by their non-hematologic toxicity and insignificant organ damage. In addition, the tumor immunogenic activation potential of GOA/miR-363-5pi was finally explored. Overall, this study is the first work that elucidates the precise mechanism of LHPP for treating HCC via ferroptosis induction and achieves the transformation of chemotherapy and gene therapy into ferroptosis activation with tumor cell immunogenicity, which lays a new therapeutic foundation for the clinical treatment of HCC.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12951-024-02918-2","authors":["Yang Qin","Xiaoli Ling","Yunxian Li","Jieqiong Wang","Jiaqi Wang","Zhuoyi Rong","Yao Cheng","Zhenghao Tao","Haitao Zhang","Wei Hua","Cui‐Yun Yu"],"tags":["Hepatocellular carcinoma","Crosstalk","Histidine","Cancer research","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12951-024-02918-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391658187","name":"From Basic Principles of Protein–Polysaccharide Association to the Rational Design of Thermally Sensitive Materials","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Biology resolves design requirements toward functional materials by creating nanostructured composites, where individual components are combined to maximize the macroscale material performance. A major challenge in utilizing such design principles is the trade-off between the preservation of individual component properties and emerging composite functionalities. Here, polysaccharide pectin and silk fibroin were investigated in their composite form with pectin as a thermal-responsive ion conductor and fibroin with exceptional mechanical strength. We show that segregative phase separation occurs upon mixing, and within a limited compositional range, domains ∼50 nm in size are formed and distributed homogeneously so that decent matrix collective properties are established. The composite is characterized by slight conformational changes in the silk domains, sequestering the hydrogen-bonded β-sheets as well as the emergence of randomized pectin orientations. However, most dominant in the composite’s properties is the introduction of dense domain interfaces, leading to increased hydration, surface hydrophilicity, and increased strain of the composite material. Using controlled surface charging in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we further demonstrate Ca ions (Ca 2+ ) diffusion in the pectin domains, with which the fingerprints of interactions at domain interfaces are revealed. Both the thermal response and the electrical conductance were found to be strongly dependent on the degree of composite hydration.

Method: We conducted systematic literature searches in CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Scopus, Dissertations and Theses Global, and Google Scholar databases using predefined eligibility criteria. We synthesized primary qualitative research evidence using Noblit and Hare’s meta-ethnographic approach. Reporting was based on the eMERGe framework. The quality of included articles was assessed by the Critical Appraisal Skills Program tool. Findings: We identified 31 primary studies from 19 countries. The studies were of moderate to high quality. Data analysis revealed five themes: “disempowerment”, “altered self-identity” “fighting”, “torment”, and “hostile environment”. One overarching theme, “the disempowered warrior”, captured the perpetual tension between the need to fight for their lives and the need to succumb to the care process. Our synthesis discloses that critically ill patients perceive themselves to be in a battle for their lives; while at the same time they may feel helpless and disempowered. Conclusions: Our review revealed the tension between the need to fight for one’s life and the sense of powerlessness in the intensive care unit environment. Although participants recognize the important role of healthcare workers, they desired more involvement, collaboration, control, empathy, and empowerment in the care process. These findings can inform approaches to empowering critically ill patients and managing their psychological responses.

It not only helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also enhances food security by making the supply chain more resilient to climate-related disruptions, ensuring stable food production for a growing global population. Further, there is an increasing consumer demand for sustainably produced food, and meeting this demand is crucial for maintaining relevance and competitiveness in the global market. Without a well-functioning decarbonized supply chain, it would be much harder for farmers, processors, distributors, and retailers to promote food security and improve public health. Decarbonization in the food supply chain is a complex process that requires a multifaceted approach, with the entire supply chain from farm to fork being examined. Technological advances such as Industry 4.0, with a human-centric solution, could be an answer.

Hence, this study utilizes a mixed-method approach to examine the Indian food supply chain, and analyses the factors that motivate stakeholders to implement decarbonized technologies. It uses opinions from industry as well as from academic experts for employing integrated Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and Interpretive structural modelling (ISM). AHP revealed that “International community pressure” is the most critical factor. Further, ISM is used to explain the interrelationships among the identified factors, providing a hierarchical model.

The subspecies and sequence types (ST) of the E. hormaechei strains recovered from canine and feline opportunistic infections included E. hormaechei subsp. xiangfangensis ST171 ( n = 3), ST121 ( n = 1), and ST182 ( n = 1), as well as E. hormaechei subsp. steigerwaltii ST65 ( n = 1). Five of the six E. hormaechei strains harbored an identical 51,479-bp bla OXA-181 -carrying IncX3 plasmid. However, the bla OXA-181 plasmid (pCUVET22-969.1) of the E. hormaechei strain CUVET22-969 presented a variation due to the insertion of IS Kpn74 and IS Sbo1 into the virB region. Additionally, the bla OXA-181 plasmids of S. nevei strains were nearly identical to the others at the nucleotide level, with IS Ecl1 inserted upstream of the qnrS1 gene. The E. hormaechei and S. nevei lineages from canine and feline origins might acquire the epidemic bla OXA-181 -carrying IncX3 and MDR plasmids, which are shared among Enterobacterales, contributing to the development of resistance. These findings suggest the spillover of significant OXA-181-encoding plasmids to these bacteria, causing severe opportunistic infections in dogs and cats in Thailand. Surveillance and effective hygienic practice, especially in hospitalized animals and veterinary hospitals, should be urgently implemented to prevent the spread of these plasmids in healthcare settings and communities. IMPORTANCE bla OXA-181 is a significant carbapenemase-encoding gene, usually associated with an epidemic IncX3 plasmid found in Enterobacterales worldwide. In this article, we revealed six carbapenemase-producing (CP) Enterobacter hormaechei and two CP Serratia nevei strains harboring bla OXA-181 -carrying IncX3 and multidrug resistance plasmids recovered from dogs and cats in Thailand. The carriage of these plasmids can promote extensively drug-resistant properties, limiting antimicrobial treatment options in veterinary medicine. Since E. hormaechei and S. nevei harboring bla OXA-181 -carrying IncX3 plasmids have not been previously reported in dogs and cats, our findings provide the first evidence of dissemination of the epidemic plasmids in these bacterial species isolated from animal origins. Pets in communities can serve as reservoirs of significant antimicrobial resistance determinants. This situation places a burden on antimicrobial treatment in small animal practice and poses a public health threat.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1128/spectrum.03589-23","authors":["Chavin Leelapsawas","Parinya Sroithongkham","Sunchai Payungporn","Pattaraporn Nimsamer","Jitrapa Yindee","Alexandra Collaud","Vincent Perreten","Pattrarat Chanchaithong"],"tags":["Multiple drug resistance","Enterobacter","Plasmid","Microbiology","Biology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1128/spectrum.03589-23","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4390842502","name":"Effect of temperature on the gas-phase reaction of CH 3 CN with OH radicals: experimental ( T = 11.7–177.5 K) and computational ( T = 10–400 K) kinetic study","source":"openalex","abstract":"CN + OH reaction, this route would only contribute around 2% to the current assumed formation routes by the UMIST network.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d3cp04944b","authors":["Daniel González","André Canosa","Emilio Martı́nez-Núñez","Antonio Fernández‐Ramos","Bernabé Ballesteros","M.

Although many genera within this tribe are easily distinguishable and exhibit distinct characteristics, the scarcity of mitochondrial genome resources has limited phylogenetic research. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the mitochondrial genomes of seven newly sequenced species to investigate the tribe's phylogeny and codon usage patterns. RESULTS: All mitochondrial genomes exhibited typical Syrphid structure (37 genes, 15,663 - 16,341 bp) with conserved gene order and strong AT bias (78.56% overall, 93.21% at third codon positions). Codon usage analysis revealed differential evolutionary pressures: Brachypalpoides makiana and Chalcosyrphus curvaria (R² = 0.34-0.56) showed mutation-dominated bias, while other species displayed selection-driven patterns. ENC values (25.6-45.23) and RSCU analysis identified 14 preferred A/U-ending codons, notably UUA-Leu (RSCU = 3.20) and AGA-Arg (RSCU = 2.59). Phylogenetic reconstruction challenged the tribe's monophyly, with Brachypalpoides and Xylota forming a well-supported clade (BS = 100%), while Milesia appeared polyphyletic. Additionally, C. curvaria showed closer affinity to M. ferruginosa than congenerics.

Can the US–China rivalry and its confrontational dynamics be channeled into conservation policymaking to improve biodiversity outcomes? Drawing from international relations and policy studies, policy diffusion theory can provide conservationists with useful insights into the interdependency of policy decisions. Here, we examine the four mechanisms—competition, coercion, learning, and emulation—of the classic model of policy diffusion theory in the context of environmental policymaking. We explore a case study for each mechanism to illustrate how it can benefit biodiversity conservation, and point to examples of relevant policies and actions that could improve outcomes. To operationalize this concept for conservation, we present a decision tree that conservationists can use to determine the most relevant policy diffusion mechanism in different policy contexts. Upon determining the appropriate mechanism, conservationists can take further steps to intentionally trigger the mechanism and catalyze conservation policy diffusion across jurisdictions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.13026","authors":["Hubert Cheung","Annie Young Song","Moreno Di Marco","Duan Biggs"],"tags":["Coercion (linguistics)","Competition (biology)","Politics","China","Emulation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.13026","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407046664","name":"Understanding Energy Practices in Ghanaian Higher Education: Lessons from Academic City University","source":"openalex","abstract":"This research illuminates the imperative for strategic energy management within the higher education sector, as evidenced by the multifaceted challenges and opportunities elucidated across diverse university contexts.

The “dual carbon” goals of China will promote a revolution in technological development modes, redirect the focus of technological progress, introduce innovative energy conversion and utilization methods, and spark interdisciplinary advancements. Besides the disciplines of engineering thermophysics and energy utilization, electrical science and engineering, materials and mechanical engineering, the realization of effective low-carbon energy transformation and utilization methods is also connected to chemistry, earth sciences, information technology, and other disciplines. In the presence of challenges, there will also be a cascade of new opportunities resulting from state-of-the-art interdisciplinary scientific principles and technological inventions in the development of energy conversion and utilization methods. In this paper, six state-of-the-art directions of energy conversion and utilization are proposed: (1) Low-carbon conversion and utilization of fossil energy, (2) efficient conversion and utilization of renewable energy, (3) green hydrogen / green electricity and long-term energy storage, (4) multi-energy complementarity and energy internet, (5) terminal efficient and low-carbon energy utilization, (6) energy conversion and utilization with digital and intelligence technology.

Moreover, policy suggestions are put forward in view of existing challenges and future opportunities, including: (1) Paying attention to revolutionary energy technologies and the new quality productive forces in energy technologies, (2) focusing on regional coordination and overall planning, promoting the steady development of renewable energy in an orderly manner, (3) based on the “dual circulation” development pattern, promoting the energy cooperation in the belt and road initiative, (4) realizing the intelligence and informatization of energy systems and accelerating the construction of smart energy systems, (5) propelling integration of industry, university, research, application side and business to promote the development of revolutionary energy technologies, and (6) strengthening interdisciplinary research in cutting-edge directions to achieve high-level self-reliance in energy science and technology. Thus, for achieving the “dual carbon” goals, this paper provides important scientific and technological support for establishing a carbon neutral system of energy transformation and utilization science and technology, which integrates low-carbon/zero-carbon electric energy sources, non-electric energy sources, digital and intelligent technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1360/tb-2024-0677","authors":["Peixue Jiang","H.-B.

Despite advances in vaccination, screening, and targeted therapies, disparities in access to prevention and treatment persist. Objective: To analyze recent advances in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for HPV infection and its relationship with cervical cancer. Methods: A structured narrative review was conducted to synthesize relevant scientific evidence from 80 manuscripts included. To ensure the rigorous selection of articles, we followed the PRISMA guidelines adapted to a narrative approach, searching the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. Studies on epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapies were included, in a time range from 2010 to 2024. Publications with insufficient or duplicated data were excluded. Finally, a qualitative thematic analysis was conducted, focusing on the central axes of epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and future perspectives in HPV and cervical cancer research. Results: In Latin America, research efforts on HPV and its relationship with CCU have increased in the last two decades, mainly focusing on the identification of high-risk genotypes, the viral load in vulnerable populations, and the implementation of screening and vaccination programs, such as the nonavalent vaccine, which has significantly reduced the incidence of HPV infections and precancerous lesions. Although viral DNA detection surpasses conventional cytology in sensitivity, structural inequalities still limit access to advanced molecular diagnostic tools. As for treatment, in CCU advanced stages, multimodal treatments combining chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy improve survival, although access barriers remain in vulnerable communities. Conclusion: There is a technological disparity that compromises the timely detection and adequate follow-up of the population at risk of HPV infection and CCU onset. Therefore, comprehensive public health policies are essential to ensure equitable access to prevention and treatment strategies for cervical cancer, as well as to strengthen local capacity for genomic diagnosis and molecular surveillance of HPV. The implementation of screening programs based on molecular testing and educational strategies is crucial to reducing the disease burden in the region.","url":"https://doi.org/10.31243/mdc.uta.v9i4.3039.2025","authors":["Jaime David Acosta-España","Dámaris P.

The CO 2 pipe leakage, which involves the intricate phase of the transition processes and is characterized by the pronounced fluctuations in the pressure and temperature, creates considerable challenges to the pipeline reliability and environmental safety. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis on the leakage and seepage diffusion in the buried CO 2 pipelines is essential for accurate risk assessment and decreasing the response time associated with the leak detection. This study develops a transient model to examine the small hole leakages’ behavior in the buried CO 2 pipelines. By integrating the discharge model and seepage diffusion model coupled with the thermo-fluid–solid and multiphysical fields, the study focuses on the dynamic variations in pressure, velocity, temperature, and concentration of the soil during the leakage. Additionally, this research examines the effects of soil properties, including porosity, permeability, and types with the CO 2 leakage and seepage diffusion behavior. The key indicators such as Warning Alert Time (WAT), Temperature Detection Time (TDT), and Pipeline Brittle Range (PBR) are introduced to define the hazardous boundaries, providing a systematic framework for risk assessment. The findings demonstrate that the physical properties of the soil play a crucial role in determining the leakage behavior and hazardous range of the seepage diffusion in buried CO 2 pipelines. The developed transient numerical model helps to predict the dynamic characteristics of the leakage and seepage diffusion within the soil more effectively, offering a robust theoretical foundation and technical support for assessing the consequences of the CO 2 leakage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5c01069","authors":["Yan Shang","Xiaokai Xing","Xiaoling Chen","Ming Yang","Raj Shah","Xinyu Pang"],"tags":["Pipeline transport","Leakage (economics)","Transient (computer programming)","Diffusion","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5c01069","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391353412","name":"CircXRN2 accelerates colorectal cancer progression through regulating miR-149-5p/MACC1 axis and EMT","source":"openalex","abstract":"In China, there has been a persistent upward trend in the incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer (CRC), with CRC ranking second in incidence and fifth in mortality among all malignant tumors. Although circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been implicated in the progression of various cancers, their specific role in CRC progression remains largely unexplored. The objective of this study was to elucidate the role and underlying mechanisms of circXRN2 in CRC. Differential expression of circXRN2 was identified through whole transcriptome sequencing. The expression levels of circXRN2 and miR-149-5p were quantified in CRC tissues, corresponding adjacent normal tissues, and CRC cell lines using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The stability of circXRN2 was confirmed through RNase R and actinomycin D experiments. The binding interaction between circXRN2 and miR-149-5p was validated through RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, and dual-luciferase assays. The biological functions of circXRN2 were assessed through a battery of in vitro experiments, including the CCK-8 assay, EdU assay, scratch assay, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry assay. Additionally, in vivo experiments involving a tumor transplantation model and a liver-lung metastasis model were conducted. The influence of circXRN2 on the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related genes was determined via Western blotting analysis. In CRC tissues and cells, there was an upregulation in the expression levels of both circXRN2 and ENC1, while miR-149-5p exhibited a downregulation in its expression. The overexpression of circXRN2 was found to enhance tumor proliferation and metastasis, as evidenced by results from both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Functionally, circXRN2 exerted its antitumor effect by suppressing cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while also promoting apoptosis. Mechanistically, the dysregulated expression of circXRN2 had an impact on the expression of proteins within the EMT signaling pathway. Our results demonstrated that circXRN2 promoted the proliferation and metastasis of CRC cells through the miR-149-5p/ENC1/EMT axis, suggesting that circXRN2 might serve as a potential therapeutic target and novel biomarker in the progression of CRC.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-52257-3","authors":["Pan-Feng Feng","Long-Xun Zhu","Nan Sheng","Xin-Shuai Li","Pei-Gen Liu","Xiangfan Chen"],"tags":["Downregulation and upregulation","Cancer research","Colorectal cancer","Biology","Metastasis"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-52257-3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4408253529","name":"Towards a Healthier Hospital Environment: The Role of Digital Twins in Achieving Optimal Environmental Comfort","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT Indoor environmental comfort is fundamental to human health as people spend 90% of their time indoors.

A broad set of policy instruments is available for the development and deployment of CDR technologies. While current discussions emphasize carbon markets to scale CDR, other non-market based policy instruments could play an important role. This article examines several non-market policy instruments through a new CDR-specific assessment framework across four dimensions: feasibility, climate effectiveness, impacts on individuals and society, and the ratio and distribution of impacts. Four theoretical scenarios, heterogeneous in assumed time horizon, spatial coverage, and utilized non-market policy instrument, are evaluated: (1) a technology-specific Carbon Contract for Difference in the EU; (2) an internationally funded capacity-building campaign for Brazilian farmers to utilize voluntary carbon markets; (3) a global carbon takeback obligation for fossil fuel producers; and (4) a national corporate tax exemption for Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant setup and operation.Discussion The assessment finds that no single policy instrument performs strongly across all four dimensions. This suggests that the prioritization of policy instruments for CDR depends on how decision-makers weigh the assessed dimensions. Different stakeholder objectives will lead to different weighing of dimensions and, thus, rankings of policy instruments.Conclusion Careful and transparent policy design process that reflects local contexts and national conditions is essential to ensure robust and stable decisions supported by a critical mass of stakeholders. A nuanced, inclusive approach can facilitate the implementation of a complementary suite of policy instruments that underpin responsible and effective global collaboration on CDR.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14693062.2025.2521118","authors":["Malte Winkler","Soyoung Oh","Antonia Holland-Cunz","Matthias Honegger","Matthias Poralla","Alicia Vollmer","Axel Michaelowa"],"tags":["Carbon dioxide","Key (lock)","Business","Environmental science","Natural resource economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14693062.2025.2521118","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4399479651","name":"CO2‑Controlled Water Injection in Carbonate Gas Reservoirs: An Effective Approach to Improve Production","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract In the development of edgewater-type carbonate gas reservoirs, the challenge posed by water flooding in production wells is a significant concern. This study investigates the potential of CO2 injection as a solution for water control. Experiments were conducted to understand the gas–water flow dynamics during CO2-controlled water injection in a series-connected core. Emphasis was placed on the effects of varying the CO2 injection pressure on water flow and gas cumulative production rate. The mechanisms influencing water control and production efficiency across different injection pressures in multiwell production were elucidated. The results showed that the gas production rate of the core increased by 27.2% over the depletion production rate after the CO2 injection pressure was increased from 8 to 13 MPa. The gas production rate increases during the second development cycle from 20% to 55% after switching to CO2 injection, which pushes the edge water further back, slowing down side water flow in the core in the form of segmental plugs, and prolonging the time before water breakthrough. The production time and water breakthrough time for the second development cycle increased with increasing CO2 injection, while the degree of water flow on the core side decreased. These insights are crucial for optimizing the recovery efficiency of edgewater-type gas reservoirs and provide guidance on the application of CO2 injection for water control and CO2 sequestration in carbonate gas reservoirs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c08901","authors":["Jie Wei","Kai Cheng","Shushuai Wang","Mingyang Yuan","E Xuanji","Chi Cen"],"tags":["Water injection (oil production)","Petroleum engineering","Carbonate","Environmental science","Volumetric flow rate"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c08901","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W7170192635","name":"Leakage Dispersion Characteristics and High-Concentration Risk Zoning of Liquid CO2 Storage Tanks in Oilfield CCUS System Based on a PHAST-KFX Two-Stage Simulation Framework","source":"openalex","abstract":"The leakage and dispersion behavior of CO2 in the ground injection stage of oilfield CCUS systems is highly complex under high-pressure, low-temperature, and continuous-operation conditions, while quantitative criteria for emergency control distances remain insufficient. To address this issue, a liquid CO2 storage tank in an oilfield CO2 cyclic injection station was selected as the research object. A 1:1 two-dimensional and three-dimensional computational model was established. A two-stage simulation framework was developed in this study, where PHAST was first employed for rapid multi-scenario consequence screening, followed by three-dimensional CFD validation using KFX under representative high-risk scenarios. The proposed framework was used to systematically investigate CO2 leakage and dispersion characteristics under various leakage aperture sizes, ambient temperatures, and wind speed conditions. Risk zoning and risk quantification were further conducted based on high-concentration CO2 toxicity thresholds of 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30%. The results show that the leak aperture is the dominant factor controlling dispersion consequences. As the aperture increased from 5 mm to 50 mm, the maximum dispersion distance increased from 8.8–9.4 m to 132–146 m, and the maximum cloud footprint increased from 4.8–5.4 m2 to 2204.1–2599.6 m2. Higher temperature enhanced CO2 dispersion capacity, whereas wind speed exerted a dual effect involving near-field dilution and downwind transport. The KFX three-dimensional simulation indicated that buildings and equipment arrangements induced near-ground flow separation and local accumulation. Under a 25 mm leak and an average wind speed of 4.6 m·s−1, the cloud approached full coverage of the injection station within approximately 300 s and tended to spread beyond the site boundary. Liquid CO2 leakage was accompanied by flashing, dry-ice formation, and sublimation, leading to a leakage-rate pattern characterized by an initial decrease followed by an increase and gradual stabilization. This indicates that emergency response should account for the ice-plugging and de-plugging process. The risk zoning results show that the downwind region can be divided into fatal, severe-injury, minor-injury, adverse-reaction, and relatively safe zones. A risk level on the order of 10−6 still existed at 100 m from the leakage source. It is recommended that CO2 concentration monitoring and alarm systems be deployed within 100 m of the station, warning signs be placed near the maximum impact boundary of 146 m, and 300 s be used as a critical time window for coordinated evacuation between the plant area and surrounding residential areas. The findings provide a technical basis for safety-distance verification, monitoring layout design, and emergency-plan development for ground injection systems in oilfield CCUS projects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr14152383","authors":["Weichao Duan","Jingjing Mu","Anna Zhou","Xiaoyu Wang","Yue Qi","Yanbin Bi","Dongfeng Zhao"],"tags":["Leakage (economics)","Environmental science","Dispersion (optics)","Leak","Wind speed"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr14152383","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4394691523","name":"Comprehensive antifungal investigation of natural plant extracts against Neosartorya spp. (Aspergillus spp.) of agriculturally significant microbiological contaminants and shaping their metabolic profile","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Fungi belonging to the genus Neosartorya (teleomorph of Aspergillus spp.) are of great concern in the production and storage of berries and fruit-based products, mainly due to the production of thermoresistant ascospores that cause food spoilage and possible secretion of mycotoxins. We initially tested the antifungal effect of six natural extracts against 20 isolates of Neosartorya spp. using a traditional inhibition test on Petri dishes. Tested isolates did not respond uniformly, creating 5 groups of descending sensitivity. Ten isolates best representing of the established sensitivity clusters were chosen for further investigation using a Biolog™ MT2 microplate assay with the same 6 natural extracts. Additionally, to test for metabolic profile changes, we used a Biolog™ FF microplate assay after pre-incubation with marigold extract. All natural extracts had an inhibitory effect on Neosartorya spp. growth and impacted its metabolism. Lavender and tea tree oil extracts at a concentration of 1000 µg mL−1 presented the strongest antifungal effect during the inhibition test, however all extracts exhibited inhibitory properties at even the lowest dose (5 µg mL−1). The fungal stress response in the presence of marigold extract was characterized by a decrease of amino acids and carbohydrates consumption and an uptake of carboxylic acids on the FF microplates, where the 10 studied isolates also presented differences in their innate resilience, creating 3 distinctive sensitivity groups of high, average and low sensitivity. The results confirm that natural plant extracts and essential oils inhibit and alter the growth and metabolism of Neosartorya spp. suggesting a possible future use in sustainable agriculture as an alternative to chemical fungicides used in traditional crop protection.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-58791-4","authors":["Wiktoria Maj","Giorgia Pertile","Sylwia Różalska","Kamil Skic","Magdalena Frąc"],"tags":["Biology","Food spoilage","Lavender","Aspergillus","Food science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-58791-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4408462465","name":"Efficient Management of Pollution in Portland Cement Industries","source":"openalex","abstract":"There are a number of present situations as well as forthcoming challenges that have been identified, including global warming, climate change, environmental pollution, and the depletion of fossil fuel production.Among the many different types of industries, cement plants are among the most notable zones because they are responsible for emitting fifteen percent of the global pollutions into the surroundings.Additionally, these pollutants are estimated to be 10% of the stationary admissible sources of CO2 emissions.Several control technologies and practices are explored, including pre-combustion measures like alternative fuel usage (e.g., biomass, waste-derived fuels) to reduce carbon emissions and dependency on fossil fuels, in-process strategies, such as improving energy efficiency through preheaters and pre-calciners, and optimizing combustion processes to reduce NOx and SOx emissions end-of-pipe solutions, such as electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters, and scrubbers for particulate and gas emission control carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) as a long-term solution for CO₂ emissions.This paper describes the development of a novel method of pollution control for cement industry which minimize pollutants, policy and regulatory frameworks that promote environmental compliance and encourage the adoption of cleaner technologies.It advocates for the integration of life cycle assessment (LCA) approaches to evaluate the overall environmental impact of cement production and the development of eco-friendly cements with lower carbon footprints.","url":"https://doi.org/10.30880/jsmpm.2024.04.02.010","authors":["Halima Khalid Al-Shukaili","Reyan Abdullah Ba Abood","Abdul Rahman Al Murazza","Saikat Banerjee"],"tags":["Portland cement","Pollution","Cement","Business","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.30880/jsmpm.2024.04.02.010","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401105675","name":"Terephthalate Copolyesters Based on 2,3-Butanediol and Ethylene Glycol and Their Properties","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study explores the synthesis and performance of novel copolyesters containing 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) as a biobased secondary diol.

It is, however, a challenge to synthesize copolyesters of sufficient molecular weight that also have high 2,3-BDO content, due to the reduced reactivity of secondary diols compared to primary diols. Terephthalate-based polyesters were synthesized in combination with different ratios of 2,3-BDO and ethylene glycol (EG). With a 2,3-BDO to EG ratio of 28:72, an Mn of 31.5 kDa was reached with a Tg of 88 °C. The Mn dropped with increasing 2,3-BDO content to 18.1 kDa for a 2,3-BDO to EG ratio of 78:22 (Tg = 104 °C) and further to 9.8 kDa (Tg = 104 °C) for the homopolyester of 2,3-BDO and terephthalate. The water and oxygen permeability both increased significantly with increasing 2,3-BDO content and even the lowest content of 2,3-BDO (28% of total diol) performed significantly worse than PET. The incorporation of 2,3-BDO had little effect on the tensile properties of the polyesters, which were similar to PET. The results suggest that 2,3-BDO can be potentially applied for polyesters requiring higher Tg and lower crystallinity than existing materials (mainly PET).","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/polym16152177","authors":["Marian Blom","Robert‐Jan van Putten","Kevin van der Maas","Bing Wang","G.P.M.

However, growing patient demands, healthcare staff shortages, and an aging population have strained emergency departments, worsening working conditions for EM professionals and compromising patient care. To address these challenges, formal recognition of EM as a specialty is crucial.As a specialty, EM offers significant benefits. It improves patient outcomes by ensuring structured, standardized training that equips specialists with the skills to manage acute conditions such as trauma, stroke, and myocardial infarction. Countries with recognized EM specialties have reported reduced morbidity and mortality and enhanced healthcare resilience during crises like pandemics and mass casualty events. Additionally, professional recognition aids in recruitment, retention, and reducing burnout among EM practitioners by establishing clear career pathways. Furthermore, it ensures specific paraclinical training in areas such as patient flow, and it strengthens healthcare systems. However, despite these benefits, challenges remain. Resource diversion from primary care, increased healthcare costs, and the initial investment required for training programs are potential drawbacks to EM specialty recognition.

Triterpene glycosides from sea cucumbers possess a high therapeutic potential as anticancer agents. This study aimed to identify the pathways triggered and regulated in MDA-MB-231 cells (triple-negative breast cancer cell line) by the glycosides cucumarioside A0-1 (Cuc A0-1) and djakonovioside A (Dj A), isolated from the sea cucumber Cucumaria djakonovi. Using flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, immunoblotting, and ELISA, the effects of micromolar concentrations of the compounds on cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptosis, the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), and expression of anti- and pro-apoptotic proteins were investigated. The glycosides caused cell cycle arrest, stimulated an increase in ROS production, and decreased Δψm in MDA-MB-231 cells. The depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane caused by cucumarioside A0-1 and djakonovioside A led to an increase in the levels of APAF-1 and cytochrome C. This, in turn, resulted in the activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 and an increase in the level of their cleaved forms. Glycosides also affected the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins, which are associated with mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells.

This is utilized to produce new cement binders and to sequester CO2, thereby contributing to a lowering of the CO2 footprint for the cement industry. The present work investigates aqueous carbonation of three hydraulic and three non‐hydraulic calcium silicates with the aim of analyzing the impact of the Ca/Si ratio on the structure of the amorphous silica gel and on the extent and rate of carbonation. This information is obtained from 29Si NMR experiments, whereas 13C NMR and FT‐IR are used to characterize the polymorphic forms of CaCO3 formed upon carbonation. The structure of the silica gel is not dependent on the type of carbonated calcium silicate or their Ca/Si ratio. In addition, the amounts of CaCO3 from TGA analysis match well the theoretical maximum values. 29Si and 29Si{1H} CP/MAS spectra of a commercial silica gel are very similar to those observed for the carbonated calcium silicates, which strongly suggests that a hydroxylated silica gel without incorporated Ca ions constitutes the silica gel in carbonated calcium silicates. From 13C NMR and FT‐IR, it is found that calcite is the principal CaCO3 polymorph for all samples carbonated for 6 h. However, aragonite and calcite do co‐exist during the initial carbonation (20 min) of γ‐Ca2SiO4. Comparison of the carbonation evolution for the hydraulic and non‐hydraulic calcium silicates strongly suggests that an early hydration and formation of C‐S‐H is not a required initial step in the aqueous carbonation process.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/mrc.5528","authors":["R.

In 2010, a 28.5-m interval in the 90-m-thick Hith Formation was logged and described in the cavern as part of a study to evaluate its sedimentological and sequence-stratigraphic architecture and to identify potential high-permeability layers within the seal of the world’s most prolific petroleum system. Seven facies types were interpreted as reflecting sabkha (subaerial) or salina (subaqueous) settings, and their vertical stacking patterns revealed that the logged interval consists of three transgressive–regressive cycles and part of a fourth cycle. The cavern was revisited in 2016 but only to find that the water level had risen by about 50 m rendering further geological studies impossible. The higher level of the water suggests that the cavern was flooded by the flow in the subsurface of treated sewage water released into a former quarry. The quarry is situated about 10 km southeast of the cavern, and the storage of water in it started in 2008. The flow pathways to the Dahal Hit cavern are apparently well-connected karsts, caverns, and high-permeability flow zones present in dolomite layers.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12517-024-11911-w","authors":["Philipp Wolpert","Martin Bartenbach","Thomas Aigner","Augustus O.

Enzymatic conversion is a promising option for utilizing CO 2 as a renewable C1 source for high-value chemicals due to the high selectivity and specificity of enzymes, their environmental friendliness, and their ability to operate under mild conditions. The present study addresses CO 2 conversion by developing a novel biocatalyst for formic acid production. Immobilization of formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Candida boidinii onto carbon felt (CF) using an affinity binding approach is explored. Pre-treatment of CF with HNO 3 increased nickel content with respect to the untreated and KOH treated CF samples, resulting in a biocatalyst with the highest specific activity. The selected biocatalyst achieved a promising formic acid yield of 78 % under pressurized CO 2 conditions. Utilizing an 8-bar pressurized reactor led to a productivity of 0.56 mol L⁻¹ h⁻¹. The biocatalyst efficiently catalyzed formic acid synthesis over four consecutive reaction cycles, but its efficiency decreased with each cycle. This research demonstrates the feasibility of simple and efficient FDH immobilization on CF for CO 2 conversion. The resulting biocatalyst shows potential for formic acid production, but further investigation is needed to enhance reusability for industrial applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rineng.2025.104442","authors":["Diego Maureira","Sady Roberto Rodriguez","Oscar Romero","Marina Guillén","Gregorio Álvaro","Lorena Wilson","Carminna Ottone"],"tags":["Carbon fibers","Chemistry","Chemical engineering","Materials science","Engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rineng.2025.104442","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412956832","name":"Fly-Ash-Based Microbial Self-Healing Cement: A Sustainable Solution for Oil Well Integrity","source":"openalex","abstract":"The cement sheath is critical for ensuring the long-term safety and operational efficiency of oil and gas wells.

Human-in-the-loop (HITL) controls can adapt an exoskeleton’s assistance in real-time, to optimize the user-exoskeleton interaction. This study presents a HITL control for a knee exoskeleton to minimize the users’ physical effort, a parameter innovatively evaluated by their interaction torque with the exoskeleton (a muscular effort indicator) and metabolic cost. This work innovates by estimating the user’s metabolic cost within the HITL control through a machine-learning model. The regression model was able to estimate the metabolic cost, in real-time, with a root-mean-squared error of 0.66 W/kg and a mean absolute percentage error of 26%, making faster (10s) and less noisy estimations than a respirometer (K5, Cosmed) device. The HITL reduced the user’s metabolic cost and interaction torque by 7.3% and 32.3%, respectively, when compared to a zero-torque control. The developed HITL control surpassed both a non-exoskeleton and a zero-torque condition regarding the user’s physical effort, even for a simple task such as slow walking. Furthermore, the user-specific control enabled a lower metabolic cost than the non-user-specific assistance. This proof-of-concept demonstrated the potential for HITL controls in assisted working.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202403.1732.v1","authors":["Sara Monteiro","Joana Figueiredo","Pedro Fonseca","João Paulo Vilas‐Boas","Cristina P.

METHODS: This retrospective observational cohort study was conducted using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV v2.2) database. Patients were categorized into 4 SHR quartiles. The main focus was on in-hospital mortality and 1-year all-cause mortality as primary endpoints, while intensive care unit and hospital stays were considered as secondary outcomes. Regression and subgroup analyses were used to assess the correlation between SHR and the primary and secondary outcomes. Restricted cubic spline analysis was utilized to explore the nonlinear relationships between SHR and in-hospital and 1-year all-cause mortality. RESULTS: This study included two groups of patients, comprising 7456 and 6564 individuals. The in-hospital and 1-year mortality was 11.96% and 17.96% in Cohort 1 and 2, respectively. SHR was associated with an elevated risk of in-hospital mortality (OR: 2.08, 95%CI 1.66-2.61) and 1-year mortality (HR: 1.70, 95% CI 1.42-2.04). Patients in SHR quartile 4 had a higher risk of in-hospital (OR: 1.86, 95% CI 1.51-2.30) and 1-year (HR: 1.44, 95% CI 1.23-1.69) mortality than those in quartile 2. Restricted cubic spline analysis showed a \"J-shaped\" relationship between SHR and all-cause mortality in both cohorts. The relationship between high SHR and mortality remained consistent across almost all predefined subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that high SHR is associated with increased in-hospital and 1-year mortality in critically ill sepsis patients. Further investigations are needed to validate these results.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40001-025-02281-4","authors":["Shijie Zhang","Hechen Shen","Yuchao Wang","Meng Ning","Jianghui Zhou","Xiaoyu Liang","Yun Sil Chang","Wenqing Gao","Tong Li"],"tags":["Medicine","Quartile","Intensive care unit","Retrospective cohort study","Sepsis"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40001-025-02281-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4393899554","name":"Enhancing the Startup Rate of Microbial Methanogenic Systems through the Synergy of β-lactam Antibiotics and Electrolytic Cells","source":"openalex","abstract":"The slow startup and suboptimal efficiency of microbial carbon sequestration and methane-production systems have not been fully resolved despite their contribution to sustainable energy production and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. These systems often grapple with persistent hurdles, including interference from miscellaneous bacteria and the slow enrichment of methanogens. To address these issues, this paper examines the synergistic effect of coupling β-lactam antibiotics with an electrolytic cell on the methanogenic process. The results indicated that β-lactam antibiotics exhibited inhibitory effects on Campylobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria (two types of miscellaneous bacteria), reducing their relative abundance by 53.03% and 87.78%, respectively. Nevertheless, it also resulted in a decrease in hydrogenogens and hindered the CO2 reduction pathway. When coupled with an electrolytic cell, sufficient electrons were supplied for CO2 reduction to compensate for the hydrogen deficiency, effectively mitigating the side effects of antibiotics. Consequently, a substantial improvement in methane production was observed, reaching 0.57 mL·L−1·d−1, exemplifying a remarkable 6.3-fold increase over the control group. This discovery reinforces the efficiency of methanogen enrichment and enhances methane-production levels.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms12040734","authors":["Yuting Zhe","Huaigang Cheng","Fangqin Cheng","Huiping Song","Zihe Pan"],"tags":["Methanogen","Antibiotics","Chemistry","Bacteria","Alphaproteobacteria"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms12040734","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410142605","name":"Age-Specific Differences in Non-Surgical Patients Requiring Intensive Care ― Trends and Prognostic Impact During the Past Decade ―","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: This study aimed to elucidate the age trends among non-surgical patients requiring intensive care over a 10-year period and the prognostic impact of aging in relation to their underlying etiologies.

The framework enables consistent evaluation of environmental performance while minimizing methodological inconsistencies that often limit the comparability of LCA studies.

The primary outcome is peak plasma pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (proBNP) within 48 h, assessed using serial measurements at intervals: before infusion, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h after infusion. Secondary endpoints include the following: (1) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) during 24-48 h after admission and at follow-up after 3 months with assessment of left ventricular area at risk, final infarct size, and the derived salvage index and (2) biochemical markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein and leukocyte counts) and cardiac injury (troponin T and creatinine kinase MB). DISCUSSION: Modulation of interleukin-6-mediated inflammation in patients with AMI, treated with acute PCI, and at intermediate to high risk of in-hospital CS may lead to increased hemodynamic stability and reduced left ventricular infarct size, which will be assessed using blood biomarkers with proBNP as the primary outcome and inflammatory markers, troponin T, and CMR with myocardial salvage index as the secondary endpoints.

This method uses local grid refinement and changes the permeability near the grid to characterize the reservoir reconstruction volume (SRV) fracture network while considering the CO2 diffusion effect. The results indicate that by using the incremental recovery rate and oil change rate as references, adaptive charts can be obtained for different Kf/Km and oil saturation.

Thus, the framework allows accurate carbon accounting at both the temporal and spatial scales, thereby facilitating informed decision‐making to achieve grid decarbonization goals. The framework is built on a flow‐based carbon accounting methodology and utilizes the carbon‐aware optimal power flow technique as a theoretical foundation for decarbonization decision‐making. Additionally, this study explores the potential design of carbon‐electricity markets and pricing mechanisms to incentivize decentralized decarbonization actions.

Using priority patent filings from 2018–2024 and publicly available production data,4 we compare growth in waste-derived hydrocarbons and CO2-based chemical conversion with that of conventional fossil-based hydrocarbon production. Our analysis shows that patent filings in waste-derived liquid hydrocarbons have grown more rapidly than filings associated with refining technologies. Carbon capture patents that incorporate digital technologies have also expanded at higher rates than carbon capture patents overall. Despite this acceleration, structural constraints remain significant. Pyrolysis depends on waste collection infrastructure and feedstock consistency, while CCU deployment is closely tied to low-carbon hydrogen availability and electricity costs.

In 2017, the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) published the CO2 Storage Resource Management System (SRMS) as a framework for stakeholder communication. The SRMS guidelines were designed to support the creation of reports that inform readers regarding the contingencies that must be overcome to obtain project approval, uncertainty in the mass of CO2 that can be stored, and the commerciality of the project. However, working examples where the SRMS has been used to communicate project status in the public domain are limited. In 2023, the authors of this paper referred to the SRMS as the standard for completing an expert report, termed a Competent Persons Report (CPR), for the Viking Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) development in the United Kingdom. During the application of the SRMS framework, challenges were identified in conveying the progress made by the project proponent in identifying and addressing technical risks. This paper describes innovations developed to supplement the SRMS guidelines and improve communication with stakeholders. First, a flowchart was developed to explain a vital interpretation of the SRMS. Next, a defined framework of technical milestones was designed to assess the maturity of a given technical topic within the SRMS. This framework was combined with radial data visualization. The combination allowed multiple storage sites to be compared simultaneously and allowed stakeholders to quickly identify the maturity of technical analysis for any given site. We conclude that improving the consistency and clarity of CCS reporting to stakeholders can help build trust in this emerging industry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2024.1459830","authors":["Paul S.

In the short term, a significant reduction in fossil CO2 emissions can be achieved through the introduction of bio-coal into the BF as part of cold bonded briquettes, by injection, or as part of coke. The use of bio-coal-containing residue briquettes was previously demonstrated in industrial trials in Sweden, whereas bio-coal injection was only tested on a pilot scale or in one-tuyere tests. Therefore, industrial trials replacing part of the pulverized coal (PC) were conducted. It was concluded that the grinding, conveying, and injection of up to 10% of charcoal (CC) with PC can be safely achieved without negative impacts on PC injection plant or BF operational conditions and without losses of CC with the dust. From a process point of view, higher addition is possible, but it must be verified that grinding and conveying is feasible. Through an experimentally validated computational fluid flow model, it was shown that a high moisture content and the presence of oversized particles delay devolatilization and ignition, lowering the combustion efficiency. By using CC with similar heating value to PC, compositional variations in the injected blend are not critical.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/met14090969","authors":["Lena Sundqvist Ökvist","Maria Lundgren","Lars-Erik From","Joakim Eck","Martin Kjellberg","Hesham M.

The role of PAs within cardiology remains poorly defined. We aimed to describe their scope of practice and assess their impact on resident doctor training in UK cardiology. METHODS: The 2024 British Junior Cardiologist's Association (BJCA) training and BJCA Starter surveys captured resident doctors' experience of PAs working within cardiology. Data were collected on three broad domains: scope of practice, impact on training and supervision. A combination of best match, checkboxes, Likert scale and free-text responses was used to gather responses. Analysis was performed using a mixed-methods approach. RESULTS: Responses were received from 553 resident doctors working in cardiology, of whom 268 (46.8%) were currently or had previously worked with a PA. Of these, 255 (95.1%) reported PAs to be working in a ward-based setting and 70 (26.1%) in outpatients. 78 respondents (29.1%) reported witnessing PAs to be performing cardiology-based procedures, primarily echocardiography (n=55, 20.5%) and direct current cardioversion (n=32, 11.9%). 34 respondents (12.6%) reported working with PAs who performed actions outside of their scope of practice including prescribing (n=7, 2.6%) or ordering ionising radiation (n=14, 5.2%). When stratified by training stage, an inverse, graded relationship was observed: with those at earlier training stages reporting the most negative impact on their training, driven by increased workload and competition for training opportunities. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence from this UK-wide survey underlines the urgent need for PA national guidance within cardiology, a clear legal framework and a defined scope of practice to safeguard both patient safety and resident doctor training.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/heartjnl-2025-327046","authors":["Oliver Brown","Gracie Fisk","Ankit Gupta","Michael Drozd","Lucy Lawson","Jonathan James Hyett Bray","Sam Straw","Asif Qasim","G.

CO 2 utilization and, more specifically, CO 2 conversion to hydrocarbons are an attractive route to reduce CO 2 emissions and to obtain carbon-neutral fuels and chemicals that are conventionally produced from fossil fuels. One way to achieve that is through the conversion of CO 2 to methanol, followed by methanol conversion to hydrocarbons. So far, these processes have mainly been studied as separate steps, and one view is to sequentially operate them. However, it is possible to perform it in one step, in tandem catalysis. Such catalysts are usually an oxide for the first reaction combined with an acidic zeolite that catalyzes the second reaction. Many catalysts have been researched for the two separate steps but only a few have been studied for the tandem when the gasoline range is the target. Among the oxides, ZnZrOx and In 2 O 3 dominate the art, while more metallic InCo also has its merits. These lead to interesting selectivities and yields when combined with a zeolite (usually ZSM-5). A clear understanding of the mechanism behind these systems has not been reached; yet, we deliver a summary of the achieved mechanistic results and offer insights for further studies. While parameters such as bed configuration or amount proximity have been studied, more research is needed, especially when looking at the complex kinetics. This “direct CO 2 to gasoline range hydrocarbons” (including aromatics) review aims to connect dots while highlighting the aspects that still need a deeper understanding, and it also pinpoints practical insights and perspectives.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c03013","authors":["Foteini Lappa","Ibrahim Khalil","Alejandro Morales","Grégoire Léonard","Michiel Dusselier"],"tags":["Gasoline","Methanol","Process engineering","Chemistry","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c03013","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412954904","name":"Delayed inpatient rehabilitation and functional outcomes for acute stroke: a retrospective cohort study in an Australian regional hospital","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: The impact of delayed inpatient rehabilitation on the functional outcomes of stroke patients has not been reported in regional Australia.

However, relatively few studies have been conducted on the effects of biofuels on the cylinder lubrication performance of low-speed, two-stroke marine diesel engines. In this study, catering waste oil was blended with 180 cSt low-sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) to prepare biofuels with volume fractions of 24% (B24) and 50% (B50). These biofuels were evaluated in a MAN marine diesel engine under load conditions of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90%. The experimental results showed that, at the same engine load, the use of B50 biofuel led to lower kinematic viscosity and oxidation degree of the cylinder residual oil, but higher total base number (TBN), nitration level, PQ index, and concentrations of wear elements (Fe, Cu, Cr, Mo). These results indicate that the wear of the cylinder liner-piston ring interface was more severe when using B50 biofuel compared with B24 biofuel. For the same type of fuel, as the engine load increased, the kinematic viscosity and TBN of the residual oil decreased, while the PQ index and concentrations of Fe, Cu, Cr, and Mo increased, reflecting the aggravated wear severity. Ferrographic analysis further revealed that ferromagnetic wear particles in the oil mainly consisted of normal wear debris. When using B50 biodiesel, a small amount of fatigue wear particles were detected. These findings offer crucial insights for optimizing biofuel utilization and improving cylinder lubrication systems in marine engines.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202505.2347.v1","authors":["Enrui Zhao","Guichen Zhang","Qiuyu Li","Saihao Zhu"],"tags":["Biofuel","Diesel fuel","Two-stroke engine","Four-stroke engine","Cylinder"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202505.2347.v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410831062","name":"Trinucleotide substrates under pH–freeze–thaw cycles enable open-ended exponential RNA replication by a polymerase ribozyme","source":"openalex","abstract":"RNA replication is considered a key process in the origins of life.

Here we show that RNA trinucleotide triphosphates can overcome this problem by binding to and kinetically trapping dissociated RNA strands in a single-stranded form, while simultaneously serving as substrates for replication by an RNA polymerase ribozyme. When combined with coupled pH and freeze-thaw cycles, this enabled exponential replication of both (+) and (-) strands of double-stranded RNAs, including a fragment of the ribozyme itself. Subjecting random RNA sequence pools to open-ended replication yielded either defined replicating RNA sequences or the gradual emergence of diverse sequence pools.

This 2024 report introduces a new analytical framework that benchmarks economies based on three pillars: Regulatory Framework, Public Services, and Operational Efficiency. The analysis centers on 10 topics essential for private sector development that correspond to various stages of the life cycle of a firm. The report also offers insights into three cross-cutting themes that are relevant for modern economies: digital adoption, environmental sustainability, and gender. B-READY draws on a robust data collection process that includes specially tailored expert questionnaires and firm-level surveys. The 2024 report, which covers 50 economies, serves as the first in a series that will expand in geographical coverage and refine its methodology over time, supporting reform advocacy, policy guidance, and further analysis and research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/978-1-4648-2021-2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-13T18:00:00Z","doi":"10.1596/978-1-4648-2021-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"doi:10.58233/zvs7ikvh","name":"Smoke tainted wine – what now?","source":"crossref","abstract":"The frequency of bushfires close to wine regions around the world has increased in the last two decades.

The projected declines are led by oil prices but tempered by price increases for natural gas and a stable outlook for metals and agricultural raw materials. The possibility of escalating conflict in the Middle East represents a substantial near-term upside risk to energy prices, with potential knock-on consequences for other commodities. However, over the forecast horizon, longer-term dynamics—including decelerating global oil demand, diversifying oil production, and ample oil supply capacity—suggest sizable downside risks to oil prices, especially if OPEC+ unwinds its latest production cuts. There are also dual risks to industrial commodity demand stemming from economic activity. On the one hand, concerted stimulus in China and above-trend growth in the United States could push commodity prices higher. On the other, weaker-than-anticipated global industrial activity could dampen them. Following several overlapping global shocks in the early 2020s, which drove parallel swings in commodity prices, commodity markets appear to be departing from a period of tight synchronization. A Special Focus analyzes commodity price synchronization over time and considers the relative importance across commodity cycles of a wide range of demand and supply shocks, including global demand shocks and shocks specific to different commodity markets. It concludes that, while supply shocks were the dominant commodity price driver in the early 2000s and around the global financial crisis, post-pandemic price movements have been more substantially shaped by commodity-specific shocks, such as those related to conflicts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/42219","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-29T22:19:07Z","doi":"10.1596/42219","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784485293","name":"Construction Research Congress 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"Selected papers from the Construction Research Congress 2024, held in Des Moines, Iowa, March 20–23, 2024.

Inversion in subsurface hydrology refers to estimating spatial distributions of (typically hydraulic) properties, often associated with quantified uncertainty. Many methods are available, each characterized by a set of assumptions, approximations, and numerical implementations. Only a few intercomparison studies have been performed (in the remote past) amongst different approaches (e.g., Zimmerman et al., 1998; Hendricks Franssen et al., 2009). These intercomparisons guarantee broad participation to push forward research efforts of the entire subsurface hydrological inversion community. However, in past studies until now, comparisons were made among approximate methods without firm reference solutions. Without reference solutions, one can only compare competing best estimates and their associated uncertainties in an intercomparison sense, and absolute statements on accuracy are unreachable. Our current initiative defines benchmarking scenarios for groundwater model inversion. These are targeted for community-wide use as test cases in intercomparison scenarios. Here, we develop five synthetic, open-source benchmarking scenarios for the inversion of hydraulic conductivity from pressure data. We also provide highly accurate reference solutions produced with massive high-performance computing and with a high-fidelity MCMC-type solution algorithm. Our high-end reference solutions are publicly available, as well as the benchmarking scenarios, the reference algorithm, and suggested benchmarking metrics. Thus, in comparison studies, one can test against high-fidelity reference solutions rather than discussing different approximations. To demonstrate how to use these benchmarking scenarios, reference solutions, and suggested metrics, we provide a blueprint comparison of a specific ensemble Kalman filter version. We invite the community to use our benchmarking scenarios and reference solutions now and into the far future in a community-wide effort towards clean and conclusive benchmarking. For now, we aim at an article collection in an appropriate journal, where such clean comparison studies can be submitted together with an editorial summary that provides an overview.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-2024-60-rc3","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-09T13:36:11Z","doi":"10.5194/hess-2024-60-rc3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784485279","name":"Construction Research Congress 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"Selected papers from the Construction Research Congress 2024, held in Des Moines, Iowa, March 20–23, 2024.

Sie vergleichen Entwicklungen der Strukturen, Leistungsfähigkeit und Finanzen der beteiligten Länder. Die Ausgabe 2024 legt den Schwerpunkt auf Chancengerechtigkeit und untersucht, inwiefern Bildungswege durch Dimensionen wie Geschlecht, sozioökonomischer Status, Geburtsland und regionale Lage beeinflusst werden. Ein eigenes Kapitel ist dem bildungspolitischen Ziel der Agenda 2030 - SDG 4 gewidmet. Darin wird eingeschätzt, wo die OECD-, Beitritts- und Partnerländer im Hinblick auf die Gewährleistung eines gleichberechtigten Zugangs zu hochwertiger Bildung in allen Bereichen stehen.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3278/9783763977741","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-10T10:34:26Z","doi":"10.3278/9783763977741","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"doi:10.46793/phys.chem24i","name":"Physical Chemistry 2024 : proceedings Vol. 1","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.46793/phys.chem24i","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-02T09:21:20Z","doi":"10.46793/phys.chem24i","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1515/sem-2024-frontmatter259","name":"Frontmatter","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/sem-2024-frontmatter259","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-13T08:43:33Z","doi":"10.1515/sem-2024-frontmatter259","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/globecom52923.2024","name":"GLOBECOM 2024 - 2024 IEEE Global Communications Conference","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/globecom52923.2024","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-11T17:32:29Z","doi":"10.1109/globecom52923.2024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23919/ieeeconf64570.2024.10738941","name":"IEEECONF 2024 TOC","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23919/ieeeconf64570.2024.10738941","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-06T18:37:10Z","doi":"10.23919/ieeeconf64570.2024.10738941","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1145/3664475","name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2024 Courses","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3664475","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-23T10:58:03Z","doi":"10.1145/3664475","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.162Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/14432471.2024.2396684","name":"Application for Student Membership 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14432471.2024.2396684","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-03T19:00:21Z","doi":"10.1080/14432471.2024.2396684","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/ims40175.2024.10600319","name":"IMS 2024 Brief Author Index","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ims40175.2024.10600319","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-30T17:46:43Z","doi":"10.1109/ims40175.2024.10600319","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1515/juru-2024-frontmatter10","name":"Frontmatter","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/juru-2024-frontmatter10","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-22T21:18:03Z","doi":"10.1515/juru-2024-frontmatter10","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.57189/mgrinfaug24","name":"MGR Monthly Infographics Report: August 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"The Microgovernance Research Initiative (MGR) has been publishing monthly infographics on a regular basis to understand the latest trends and dynamics of political conflict and violence in Bangladesh.

Advancing from one phase to the next often needs to be done manually, which especially makes the geometric design process difficult to automatize. This paper presents a process that closes the gap between a data model driven (preliminary) geometry generation and an initially manual geometric detail modeling in the high-fidelity phase. It introduces a method to consistently track and persist metadata like face names and colors through a complete geometry processing chain, such that this process can be automatically repeated even with changed design parameters. This process is demonstrated using the first stage of a high-pressure turbine from an aircraft engine. Annulus contour and blade geometries were designed in a standardized process. In addition, the generation of the cavity between the vanes and the rotors was added automatically by means of a CAD environment. The automated geometry generation process is finally demonstrated by a modification of the annulus design parameters, resulting in a geometry variation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2514/mscitech24","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-04T10:34:23Z","doi":"10.2514/mscitech24","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1515/sem-2024-frontmatter260","name":"Frontmatter","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/sem-2024-frontmatter260","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-28T20:27:22Z","doi":"10.1515/sem-2024-frontmatter260","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1515/sem-2024-frontmatter257","name":"Frontmatter","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/sem-2024-frontmatter257","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-13T15:01:50Z","doi":"10.1515/sem-2024-frontmatter257","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850484","name":"URUCON 2024 Tutorial","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850484","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-31T18:29:17Z","doi":"10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850484","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1145/3641236","name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2024 Labs","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3641236","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-10T18:18:40Z","doi":"10.1145/3641236","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5040/9781350525566.00000002","name":"Mnemonic (2024)","source":"crossref","abstract":"One of the most astonishing discoveries of modern times is the immensity of the past mnemonic / ni'monik / adj. 1. assisting or intended to assist memory; 2. of memory A body is found in the ice, and a woman is looking for her father w","url":"https://doi.org/10.5040/9781350525566.00000002","authors":["Simon McBurney"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-01T15:30:36Z","doi":"10.5040/9781350525566.00000002","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/southeastcon52093.2024.10500279","name":"Welcome to SoutheastCon 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/southeastcon52093.2024.10500279","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-24T17:22:34Z","doi":"10.1109/southeastcon52093.2024.10500279","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/jacs.1c02425","name":"Heterogeneous C–H Functionalization in Water via Porous Covalent Organic Framework Nanofilms: A Case of Catalytic Sphere Transmutation","source":"crossref","abstract":"Heterogeneous catalysis in water has not been explored beyond certain advantages such as recyclability and recovery of the catalysts from the reaction medium. Moreover, poor yield, extremely low selectivity, and active catalytic site deactivation further underrate the heterogeneous catalysis in water. Considering these facts, we have designed and synthesized solution-dispersible porous covalent organic framework (COF) nanospheres. We have used their distinctive morphology and dispersibility to functionalize unactivated C-H bonds of alkanes heterogeneously with high catalytic yield (42-99%) and enhanced regio- and stereoselectivity (3°:2° = 105:1 for adamantane). Further, the fabrication of catalyst-immobilized COF nanofilms via covalent self-assembly of catalytic COF nanospheres for the first time has become the key toward converting the catalytically inactive homogeneous catalysts into active and effective heterogeneous catalysts operating in water. This unique covalent self-assembly occurs through the protrusion of the fibers at the interface of two nanospheres, transmuting the catalytic spheres into films without any leaching of catalyst molecules. The catalyst-immobilized porous COF nanofilms' chemical functionality and hydrophobic environment stabilize the high-valent transient active oxoiron(V) intermediate in water and restricts the active catalytic site's deactivation. These COF nanofilms functionalize the unactivated C-H bonds in water with a high catalytic yield (45-99%) and with a high degree of selectivity ( cis : trans = 155:1; 3°:2° = 257:1, for cis -1,2-dimethylcyclohexane). To establish this approach's \"practical implementation\", we conducted the catalysis inflow (TON = 424 ± 5) using catalyst-immobilized COF nanofilms fabricated on a macroporous polymeric support.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.1c02425","authors":["Himadri Sekhar Sasmal","Saikat Bag","Bittu Chandra","Poulami Majumder","Himangshu Kuiry","Suvendu Karak","Sayam Sen Gupta","Rahul Banerjee"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-05-24T17:14:55Z","doi":"10.1021/jacs.1c02425","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59617/efepub2024145","name":"SAĞLIK &amp; BİLİM 2024: EBELİK-III","source":"crossref","abstract":"BÖLÜM 1: GEBE EĞİTİMİ 7 Kadriye ESEN BÖLÜM 2: GEBELİK DÖNEMİNDE FİZİKSEL AKTİVİTE VE EGZERSİZ 19 Esin ÇEBER TURFAN, Tuğba YILMAZ BÖLÜM 3: DOĞUM POZİSYONLARI 35 Esin ÇEBER TURFAN, Meryem ÖZDEMİR BÖLÜM 4: GEBELİK KANAMALARINA GÜNCEL EBELİK YAKLAŞIMLARI 55 Büşranur TANER, Neriman SOĞUKPINAR BÖLÜM 5: PRENATAL TARAMA VE TANI TESTLERİNDE GÜNCEL YAKLAŞIMLAR 71 Çiler ÇOKAN DÖNMEZ BÖLÜM 6: İNFERTİLİTE TEDAVİ YÖNTEMLERİ VE ETİK SORUNLAR 83 Büşra ZONTUR, Nebahat ÖZERDOĞAN BÖLÜM 7: OBSTETRİK ŞİDDETE KARŞI: SAYGILI ANNELİK BAKIMI 99 Canan SUBAŞİ, Gülseren DAĞLAR BÖLÜM 8: İKLİM DEĞİŞİKLİĞİ MENOPOZAL SICAK BASMASINI ŞİDDETLENDİRİR Mİ? 111 Gülseren DAĞLAR, Ebrar HUT AYDIN","url":"https://doi.org/10.59617/efepub2024145","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-25T07:45:13Z","doi":"10.59617/efepub2024145","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5771/9781538185797","name":"Africa 2024–2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"The World Today Series: Africa provides students with vital information on all countries on the African continent through a thorough and expert overview of political and economic histories, current events, and emerging trends.

High commodity prices, despite relatively subdued global GDP growth, suggest some countervailing forces offsetting tepid demand, such as heightened geopolitical strains and increasing metals-intensive investments in the energy transition. Commodity prices are forecast to soften marginally in 2024 and 2025 but remain substantially above pre-pandemic levels. Unlike most other prices, crude oil prices are expected to increase in 2024, mainly reflecting geopolitical tensions. The key risk to commodity price projections relates to the possibility of a broadening of the Middle East conflict, which could lead to significantly higher oil prices, thus reigniting global inflationary pressures. Meanwhile, food insecurity worsened markedly last year, reflecting elevated food prices and armed conflicts around the world. Should such conflicts worsen, global hunger could rise substantially. Heightened uncertainty around the commodity price outlook underscores the importance of forecast accuracy. A Special Focus section evaluates the performance of five approaches used to forecast prices of three commodities—aluminum, copper, and oil. It concludes that there is no “one-approach-beats-all.” Macroeconometric models tend to be more accurate at longer horizons, mainly due to their ability to account for the impact of structural changes. It is, however, critical to incorporate judgment and information that cannot be accounted for by statistical approaches. This highlights the importance of employing a wide range of approaches when forecasting commodity prices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/41280","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-25T02:19:28Z","doi":"10.1596/41280","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.33383/2024-02","name":"Issue 02-2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.33383/2024-02","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-17T08:17:54Z","doi":"10.33383/2024-02","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37053/lameteorologie-2024-0072","name":"Mars 2024 à mai 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"Dédiée aux sciences de l'atmosphère, au climat et à d'autres domaines connexes, tels que l'océanographie ou la glaciologie, La Météorologie, révisée par des pairs et publiée en français, s'adresse aux professionnels de la météo et du climat, aux enseignants, aux étudiants, aux amateurs et aux utilisateurs.

The infographics include data from around 127 local and 10 national newspapers- online and offline.","url":"https://doi.org/10.57189/mgrinfjul24","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-08T10:42:16Z","doi":"10.57189/mgrinfjul24","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1515/9783111382821-067","name":"Z","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/9783111382821-067","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-05T06:49:35Z","doi":"10.1515/9783111382821-067","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.51202/9783181024355","name":"PIAE EUROPE 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"Contents Exterior/Exterieur Porsche 911 – new honeycomb sandwich material for underbody panels 1 Porsche 911 – Neues Waben-Sandwichmaterial für Unterbodenverkleidungen 17 Vehicle Underbody Components Made of Natural Fibers and Recycled Polypropylene for Future Integration in Electric Vehicle Platforms 29 Fahrzeugunterböden aus Naturfasern und rezykliertem Polypropylen für den Einsatz in zukünftigen Elektrofahrzeugplattformen 43 Polycarbonate-based roof sensor module for automated driving Prototype development 57 Polycarbonat-basiertes Roof Sensor Modul für das automatisierte Fahren Entwicklung eines Prototyps 67 Highlights of the functionally integrated plastic carrier of the Porsche Macan 77 Highlights des funktionsintegrierten Kunststoffträgers des Porsche Macan 89 Circular Economy/Kreislaufwirtschaft A systematic assessment approach to promote the development of circular economy solutions in the automotive industry 101 Ein systematischer Bewertungsansatz zur Förderung der Entwicklung von Lösungen für eine Circular Economy in der Automobilindustrie 115 Addressing the circularity challenge of the new EU end-of-li...","url":"https://doi.org/10.51202/9783181024355","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-08T05:20:47Z","doi":"10.51202/9783181024355","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.51371/840-2976.2024.18.n.2","name":"Volume 18.0, Issue N2 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.51371/840-2976.2024.18.n.2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-13T05:48:11Z","doi":"10.51371/840-2976.2024.18.n.2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.32468/inf-pol-mont-spa.tr4.anex2-2024","name":"Gráficos del Informe de Política Monetaria - Octubre 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.32468/inf-pol-mont-spa.tr4.anex2-2024","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-06T13:45:41Z","doi":"10.32468/inf-pol-mont-spa.tr4.anex2-2024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5040/9798216427612","name":"Western Europe 2024–2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"The World Today Series: Western Europeis an annually updated presentation of each sovereign country in Western Europe, past and present.

Drawing on data collected through the World Bank’s Debtor Reporting System, this publication has kept pace with evolving borrowing patterns and new lending instruments, measured the impact of initiatives to relieve debt burdens, and promoted best practices in debt recording and reporting. Each year the report presents timely analysis of evolving trends in external debt stocks and flows of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as well as issues and challenges for development finance. The IDS database provides comprehensive information on external debt stocks and flows of public and private borrowers in LMICs by borrower and creditor, the terms on which external loans are contracted, current and future debt service, and debt indicators in relation to key economic variables. IDR 2024 encompasses: (1) a two-page foreword signed by the World Bank’s chief economist; (2) key takeaways from the report; (3) analysis of external debt stocks and flows for 2013–2023; (4) the macroeconomic and debt outlook for 2024 and beyond; (5) the debt transparency agenda: moving it forward; and (6) one-page summaries per country, plus global, regional and income-group aggregates showing debt stocks and flows, relevant debt indicators and metadata for 5 years (2019–2023).

Of all the international conventions dealing with maritime safety, the most important is the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, better known as SOLAS, which covers a wide range of measures designed to improve the safety of shipping. The Convention is also one of the oldest of its kind: the first version was adopted in 1914 following the sinking of the Titanic with the loss of more than 1,500 lives. Since then, there have been four more versions of SOLAS. The present version was adopted in 1974 and entered into force in 1980. This publication commemorates the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, a prominent international instrument for maritime safety. This edition of the publication presents a consolidated text of the Convention, its Protocol of 1988 and all amendments that have entered into force on or before 1 July 2024.

While some 20.36% of political violence contributed by Bangladesh Awami League &amp; affiliates, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) scored only 1.70% of political violence in this quarter. Activists of independent election candidates conducted 27.27% of political violence. Intra-party violence within the Awami League showed a surge in this quarter during the election, a count of 74. Whereas 74% political incidents were rural, 26% political violence incidents took place in urban areas. In this quarter, student violence started to increase again with a total of 138 cases reported across different regions as students have come back to the campus after election. After the election, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) experienced a noticeable decrease in its active involvement, mainly due to the government's strengthened control over state mechanisms.

While Togo's recent economic performance has been positive, it still fell short of regional peers such as Benin and Cote d’Ivoire, or more aspirational ones like Bangladesh or Vietnam. This can mostly be attributed to structural factors, including a relatively muted contribution of capital deepening to Togo’s potential growth; the predominance of low yielding agricultural practices; persistently large disparities in economic opportunities and access to basic services between rural and urban areas; a highly concentrated private sector; and limited strides in industrialization despite the expansion of port activities and the development of agro-processing and other industrial zones. The economic outlook remains positive for the next few years, contingent upon enacting adequate policy decisions and implementing ambitious reforms. This 2024 Economic Update for Togo is articulated in two chapters. The first chapter presents recent economic and poverty developments, as well as the outlook, key risks, and priorities to lift growth and accelerate structural transformation. The second chapter offers a deep dive on the likely impact of climate change on the agriculture sector in Togo and how scaling up agroforestry systems could help smallholder farmers increase their welfare, while boosting food security, preventing the loss of arable land, and reducing carbon emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/42242","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-13T02:24:46Z","doi":"10.1596/42242","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.163Z"},{"id":"doi:10.58678/hb-erp-markt24","name":"Handbuch ERP-Markt 2024/2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"Das neue Handbuch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über den deutschsprachigen ERP-Markt.

Herein, biochar was engineered from cassava peels and introduced into a Ni/CeO 2 -based catalyst for methanation. The as-prepared catalysts were tested for CO 2 methanation in a temperature range of 250 °C – 400 °C at a volumetric weight hourly space velocity of 30,000 mL·g −1 ·h −1 . Systematic analysis of the prepared materials was conducted to elucidate the performance–characterisation relationship. The incorporation of biochar resulted in modified Ni/CeO 2 catalysts with favourable textural properties and Ni crystallite sizes (25–37 nm). Sequential impregnation was found to be an effective procedure to fabricate biochar-modified Ni/CeO 2 catalysts with high catalytic activity corresponding to a CO 2 conversion of 74.8% and a CH 4 selectivity of over 98% at 350 °C. This high catalytic activity remained stable without any significant deactivation throughout a 100-hour stability test. Although further development is still needed, the obtained results show the potential of utilising low-value biomass resources to tailor a high-performance catalyst with good catalytic activity and stability during methanation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cscee.2026.101459","authors":["Hong Nhung Duong Nguyen","Canh Hung Phan","Truong Son Nguyen","Ba Long Do","Bao Trong Dang","Thanh Binh Huynh","Hoang Luan Van","Van Han Dang","Thi Le Na Pham","Ky Phuong Ha Huynh"],"tags":["Catalysis","Biochar","Methanation","Chemical engineering","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cscee.2026.101459","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7163312160","name":"Biogeenisen hiilidioksidin validointi elintarviketuotannon tarpeisiin","source":"openalex","abstract":"Tämän opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli tarkastella biogeenisen hiilidioksidin validointia elintarviketuotannon tarpeisiin sekä selvittää, millaiset tekniset, laadulliset ja säädökselliset vaatimukset bioperäisen hiilidioksidin hyödyntämiseen liittyvät.

Tässä kandidaatintutkielmassa tarkastellaan EU:n vetystrategian vaikutuksia Suomen energiasektorille. Tutkielmassa analysoidaan strategian vaikutuksia Suomen energiantuotannon rakenteeseen, investointeihin sekä energiasektorin tulevaisuuden kehityssuuntiin.

While C&DW is generally utilized as filler, road base, or aggregate, the sequestration of CO2 to produce recycled carbonated aggregate (RCA) has gained importance.

In this study, C&DW from an earthquake waste disposal site in Malatya (Türkiye) was characterized by utilizing XRD, XRF, ICP, elemental (CHNS), Mineral Liberation Analysis (MLA), and TGA/DTA analysis techniques. XRF results indicated a complex composition primarily dominated by calcium carbonate (39.87% CaO), with significant concentrations of SiO2 (17.963%) and considerable amounts of Al2O3 (4.146%). MLA revealed the complexity of the sample, as all the phases are intricately locked together, and the liberation required excessive grinding. The results further indicated that some valuable constituents (e.g., Al and Si) in C&DW can be recovered through metallurgical processing following liberation.

Less experienced nurses need access to team members for the consultation, collaboration, and support required for intensive care work. Decentralization of nursing work stations and large, private rooms have resulted in intensive care units with long corridors that separate coworkers and make activities such as coaching, mentoring, and finding assistance more challenging. OBJECTIVES: To examine relationships between critical care unit layouts and nurses' perceptions of teamwork, breaks, unit layout, and visibility. METHODS: A national sample of nurses participated via an online survey in which respondents selected their unit layout from a variety of newly developed unit graphics and subsequently answered survey questions. Researchers explored relationships between teamwork and break-taking behaviors, unit layout, and both patient and coworker visibility with the aim of guiding health care leaders, design professionals, and the nursing profession in critical care unit design and operations. RESULTS: A statistically significant relationship was found between nurses' perceptions of teamwork and the likelihood of taking both meal breaks and nonmeal breaks, but no correlation was identified between unit layout and teamwork. CONCLUSIONS: Although more research is needed to understand how unit layouts influence nursing outcomes, units that foster connection and collaboration between critical care team members may encourage break-taking behaviors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4037/ajcc2026276","authors":["Yolanda Keys","Ellen Taylor"],"tags":["Unit (ring theory)","Perception","Nursing","Medicine","Intensive care unit"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.4037/ajcc2026276","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W4395010889","name":"Imaging Equipment and the Operating Room","source":"openalex","abstract":"His chapter contains sections titled: Introduction, Endoscopic System Telescope, Endoscopic Video Cameras and Monitors, Light Source and Cables, Data Documentation and Storage, Equipment, Cleaning and Disinfection, Trends in Progressive Veterinary MIS, References","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119859352.ch5","authors":["H.B.

Supercritical CO 2 -water-rock interaction experiments were conducted under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions on tight sandstone reservoirs of the Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin. These experiments systematically investigated the effects of temperature- and pressure-dependent water-rock reactions on reservoir geochemical characteristics and pore structure evolution. The results show that under supercritical CO 2 injection conditions, formation water pH decreases markedly, while minerals such as calcite, dolomite, and feldspars undergo varying degrees of dissolution. This process leads to significant increases in the concentrations of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , and K + in solution and the development of abundant secondary dissolution pores. Increasing reaction pressure enhances CO 2 solubility in the aqueous phase and intensifies the acidic environment, thereby significantly promoting mineral dissolution and increasing reservoir porosity. In contrast, increasing reaction temperature reduces CO 2 solubility and exerts an overall inhibitory effect on water-rock reactions, particularly suppressing calcite dissolution. These results indicate that supercritical CO 2 -water-rock interactions substantially alter the physical and geochemical properties of tight sandstone reservoirs, with important geological implications for improving reservoir flow conditions during CO 2 -EOR and for evaluating the long-term stability of subsequent geological CO 2 storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/3290/1/012201","authors":["Ruinan Wang","Jieyou Yang"],"tags":["Supercritical fluid","Dissolution","Solubility","Calcite","Geology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/3290/1/012201","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405839256","name":"Environmental Policy and Regulatory Considerations for Hydrogen Energy","source":"openalex","abstract":"This chapter explores the potential environmental benefits of hydrogen energy, how hydrogen fits into existing U.S. energy policy, the priorities and challenges the U.S. government faces in ensuring that hydrogen is an effective part of a net-zero energy landscape, and global policies to promote a clean hydrogen market.

This study is based on the hypothesis that different PtX pathways contribute to emission savings in varying amounts. Emission savings from different PtX pathways were quantified by conducting life-cycle assessments using Finland as a case study. Surplus e-products substitute conventional products in Central Europe. The investigated H2 utilisation pathways were e-H2, e-methane, e-methanol, e-fuels, e-ammonia, and green steel. For Finland, grey H2 was always replaced by e-H2. The largest emission savings were achieved when producing green steel (∼17.5 MtCO2-eq). The second largest savings can be achieved when utilising e-H2 for fuel-cell vehicles (∼15 MtCO2-eq), followed by e-ammonia (∼14 MtCO2-eq) and e-methanol (∼11 MtCO2-eq) production. In some cases, production-related emissions exceed the benefits of substitution in Finland if there is insufficient demand for the product, such as in the case of e-ammonia and e-methanol.Production pathways that maximize global emission reductions may differ substantially from those that maximize regional reductions, particularly when domestic demand is low relative to low-carbon production potential. This discrepancy arises because production-based accounting allocates manufacturing emissions to the producing region, even when the resulting low-carbon products deliver emission reductions elsewhere. These contradictions in emission savings may render climate mitigation actions inefficient if only national targets are considered.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ce/zkag060","authors":["Jani Sillman","Patel Gulam Husain","Jouni Havukainen","Rami Alfasfos","Satu Lipiäinen","Hannu Karjunen","Mari Tuomaala","Risto Soukka"],"tags":["Natural resource economics","Renewable energy","Greenhouse gas","Economics","Climate policy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ce/zkag060","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W2936145377","name":"Effect of secondary prevention on all-cause mortality in Czech survivors of myocardial infarction: a population-based study","source":"openalex","abstract":"Úvod: Přes úspěšné zavedení intervenční léčby akutních koronárních syndromů v České republice průzkumy z poslední doby prokázaly, že koronární intervence a farmakologickou léčbu je nutno kombinovat s ovlivněním životosprávy a rizikových faktorů. Hodnotili jsme vliv intervencí po infarktu myokardu, zaměřených na řadu rizikových faktorů u vysoce rizikové populace s omezeným přístupem k hypolipidemikům a revaskularizačním výkonům.Metody: V letech 1992-1993 jsme do 18měsíčního programu intervence zaměřeného na dyslipidemii, kouření a stravu s vysokým obsahem nasycených tuků zařadili všechny muže ve věku do 60 let (n = 68) a všechny ženy mladší 65 let (n = 40), kteří přežili infarkt myokardu a byli propuštěni z jediné koronární jednotky.

In the beginning, increasing the number of trained facilitators was necessary, as only a handful worked at Landspitali at the time. To meet the growing demand Train-the-Trainer (TtT) courses were offered, in English, in Iceland by SAFER.1 After the last of three courses SAFER suggested that the next TtT should be conducted by the hospital’s team itself. Summary of work Preparation for the 2-day TtT course conducted by the Landspitali team started nearly a year before the course set date. Preparation was thoroughly planned with workshops, discussions and run-throughs. The course structure followed that of courses at SAFER and CAMES(2), but with an increased emphasis on using best evidence in all aspects of the course, diverse teaching methods and more focus on the facilitators’ role. This meant: 1. Assigned readings only from peer-reviewed journals, 2. Standardized cases with mounting challenges, 3. Continuous evaluation of participants, instructors and the course plan and content, 4. The participants, 10 RNs, seven physicians and one paramedic, were required to practice the role of facilitator and debriefer for 4–6 sessions with an experienced facilitator following the course completion, 5. Reflective discussions by instructors at the end of each day, as well as peer-reviewed evaluations (anonymous) of lectures, teaching and facilitation. Summary of results The over-all grade for the course was 8.9 out of 10. The participants found the course challenging, the learning experience positive and had a clear sense of the knowledge and qualities facilitators must possess. They were quite satisfied with the course content and structure. After five months, 84% had completed the requirements of further training. The instructors were satisfied with the rigorous preparation, and were fair yet critical in their evaluations. Discussion and conclusions; recommendations The learning objectives of the course were met according to both participants’ and instructors’ evaluations. The participants were well prepared and ready to facilitate and debrief after the course finished. When taking on new assignments and making changes to successful projects such as previous TtT courses, clearly defined objectives, sharply delineated preparation, well-reasoned and documented changes, based on evidence when available, as well as close monitoring and assessment of outcomes is imperative. Further results from participants’ and instructors’ evaluation at 6 months after the course finished will be presented. References SAFER (e.d.)

This study addresses the lack of integrated assessments of carbon pricing impacts and green finance mechanisms in Indonesia’s nickel industry, using exclusively secondary data from government reports (BPS, MEMR), global databases (IEA, Global Carbon Atlas), and policy documents. A gate-to-gate Life Cycle Assessment (ISO 14044) reveals that Indonesian nickel smelters emit 14.8 tons CO₂-eq per ton of product (IEA, 2023), 25% higher than the global average. Economic modeling, based on nickel price trends (LME, 2020–2023) and carbon tax scenarios, indicates that a $40/ton CO₂ tax would raise production costs by 15%, reducing export competitiveness by 6.2% under current market conditions. Policy analysis highlights the feasibility of green bonds and fiscal incentives for renewable energy adoption, referencing successful cases in the Philippines (RE Law, 2022).

Our previous study inferred that macrolide efflux pump may contribute to macrolide resistance in M. pneumoniae in addition to the common point mutations in 23S rRNA gene. This study aimed to define the specific pump and confirm its role. Through comparative genomic analysis, we identified a candidate gene, MPN_080, encoding an ABC transporter permease, which was further characterized using phylogenetic analysis, AlphaFold-based structural modeling, and biochemical assays. Overexpression of MPN_080 from an erythromycin-resistant isolate in the erythromycin-sensitive M129, and resulted in a significant increase in minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) from <0.125 µg/mL to 1 µg/mL, while similar overexpression of MPN_080 derived from M129 did not affect MICs. Notably, this resistance mechanism operates independently of M. pneumoniae virulence factors, as evidenced by unaltered colonization capacity in NCI-H292 cells and consistent immune response patterns across both strains. Our findings establish MPN_080 as a novel determinant of macrolide resistance functioning through an ATPase-dependent mechanism, distinct from classical 23S rRNA mutations. These insights into non-classical resistance mechanisms may guide future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies against MRMP.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202602.1588.v1","authors":["Shaoli Li","Yuyan Xia","Fei Zhao","Xiuwei Wang","Z.

The present research paper proposes the optimization of the WHR by adopting the artificial neural network (ANN) model, exploring real-world data extracted from marine power plants on board to investigate the optimization of waste heat recovery. The ANN model, which was trained with operational parameters including exhaust gas temperature, engine load and ambient conditions, showed a very good predictive capability producing an R2 of 0.95, RMSE of 3.85kW, and MAE of 2.68kW. The ANN model proved to be more accurate and reliable than conventional thermodynamic methods considering fluctuating operational conditions.

Carbon pricing policies, grounded in Pigouvian tax theory, have played a central role in global decarbonisation efforts. With the growing recognition of CDR's importance in tackling global warming, this study qualitatively assesses South Africa’s current and proposed carbon pricing policies through content analysis to evaluate their effectiveness in promoting large-scale investment in CDR technologies. Drawing on policy diffusion and global policy lessons, the study assesses how effectively South Africa’s policies incentivize CDR adoption and scale-up. The analysis reveals that current carbon pricing frameworks primarily focus on emissions reductions without explicitly incentivizing the positive externalities of CDR. Key barriers include a lack of CDR specific incentives and limited integration of CDR within the policy design, which impedes alignment with deep decarbonisation goals. The findings suggest that South Africa’s carbon pricing policies largely adhere to the polluter pays principle but fall short of addressing the broader climate mitigation potential of CDR technologies. The study concludes that to effectively promote large-scale CDR investment, carbon pricing policies must evolve to integrate targeted incentives designed through policy diffusion by drawing on the experiences and innovations of other jurisdictions. This research contributes to tax policy literature by advocating a more inclusive carbon pricing approach that embraces CDR as a central element of South Africa’s emission reduction strategy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59857/5wnrhy95","authors":["Kgalalelo Constance Makamela"],"tags":["Incentive","Carbon tax","Externality","Investment (military)","Environmental economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.59857/5wnrhy95","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7172032203","name":"In-hospital inflammatory-nutritional-renal trajectory phenotypes and 90-day readmission or mortality in patients with acute decompensated heart failure: a retrospective cohort study","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background: Patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) remain at high risk for early readmission and death after discharge.

Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 633 adults hospitalized with ADHF between January 2018 and December 2025 who survived to discharge and had serial measurements of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), serum albumin, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at admission, 48-72 h after admission, and before discharge. Multivariate latent class mixed modelling was used to identify trajectory phenotypes. The primary outcome was all-cause readmission or all-cause mortality within 90 days after discharge.

For material integration, CO2 from an oxygen-enriched thermal power station and H2 from water electrolysis using renewable power serve as raw materials for the methanol production process. O2 from water electrolysis using renewable power is supplied to the oxygen-enriched thermal power station; thus, electricity can be saved and investment in an air separation unit can be beneficial. For energy integration, power for gas compression and heat for methanol rectification in the methanol production process are supplied by an oxygen-enriched thermal power station. The energy released from the methanol production process is fully recovered for extra power generation. Energy analysis results show that a high CO2 capture and utilization ratio, which is defined as the ratio of the captured and utilized CO2 to the total CO2 generation, of 78.1% could be achieved. By integrating the system in a 600 MW thermal power station, the net power generation and methanol production of the proposed design reaches 473.1 MW and 56.1 kg/s, respectively. Economic analysis results show that the power cost is estimated to be 62.8 $/MWh, which has great market competitiveness compared to the conventional thermal power station with CO2 capture. Due to the saved material expense and power and heat expense, the methanol cost is reduced from 1.33 $/kg to 1.20 $/kg.

Identifying the risk factors and biomarkers is important for early detection, risk stratification, and effective management. Recent studies suggest a potential association between elevated serum uric acid levels and Acute Coronary Syndrome, yet the relationship remains poorly understood and need further investigation. Objective: This study aims to assess the relationship between serum uric acid levels and the incidence of ACS in a defined population. thereby assessing its potential as a biomarker for detection and prognosis. Methods: Employing a case-control design, this study will involve participants diagnosed with ACS at IBN SINA Hospital and a matched control group of apparently healthy individuals. Exclusion criteria include chronic kidney disease, malignancies, active inflammatory conditions, and the use of drugs affecting serum uric acid levels. Data collection will focus on demographic information, medical history, clinical characteristics, and serum uric acid levels, determined through blood sample analysis. Results: Our study involved 64 ACS cases with a mean age of 59.39±11.886 years and 60 healthy controls with a mean age of 56.35±8.631 years. We observed that the median serum uric acid level was significantly higher in ACS cases (341.0) compared to controls (333.0) with a p-value of 0.046, indicating a statistically significant difference. Gender-based analysis revealed a significant difference in serum uric acid levels among females between cases and controls (p=0.035), but not among males (p=0.602). Age group analysis showed a significant difference only in the 70-79 age group (p=0.045). The ROC analysis suggested that serum uric acid level has a modest discriminatory ability for ACS with an area under the curve of 0.604 (p=0.046). Conclusion: Elevated serum uric acid levels are associated with an increased risk of ACS, particularly among females and in older age groups.

Policing is a high-risk profession that exposes staff to repeated traumatic incidents and complex workloads, all under vast hierarchical scrutiny. These factors influence wellbeing. Psychological safety (Kahn, 1990) helps explain how organisational, cultural and operational stressors contribute to suicide risk. A qualitative, evidence-based methodology was used, drawing on peer-reviewed literature, official reports, and sector-specific grey literature. A critical thematic analysis was conducted, examining the content of existing research and the organisational and cultural contexts in which it was produced. Key factors influencing psychological safety include hierarchical organisational culture, inconsistent leadership, cumulative operational stress, limited welfare provision, and investigatory oversight. Officers often conceal vulnerabilities due to stigma, fear of career repercussions, and distrust of internal support mechanisms, particularly in specialist units such as firearms or child protection teams. The analysis integrates psychological safety with established sociological and organisational theories to explain how structural pressures shape officer wellbeing. It uses these theories to critically examine how structural and cultural influences affect individual behaviour and wellbeing. The findings indicate that suicide risk is primarily organisational, with organisational and cultural factors encouraging concealment and isolation. Practical implications emphasise requirements for independent welfare provisions, leadership development that emphasises vulnerability and empathy, confidential reporting mechanisms, role-specific interventions for high-risk units, and the restoration of informal debriefing spaces to foster social cohesion and resilience. This study identifies opportunities for future research, including, but not limited to, primary qualitative investigations and longitudinal studies. Reducing suicide risk in policing requires urgent, widespread reform, a culture shift, and interventions grounded in evidence, all aimed at making psychological safety a central element of operational practices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21428/cb6ab371.2be9937d","authors":["Karl Hopkins"],"tags":["Psychology","Thematic analysis","Workplace bullying","Psychological safety","Officer"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.21428/cb6ab371.2be9937d","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W4416290306","name":"Canada's Clean Energy Transition Post-Inflation Reduction Act","source":"openalex","abstract":"Policy-makers in major economies face the dual challenge of reducing emissions for long- term environmental benefits while maintaining economic stability in the short term.

Emerging third-party CCS services provide a potential pathway for reducing these barriers, but it remains unclear how such service-based arrangements affect CCS adoption and electricity pricing. To fill this gap, this study performs a differential game analysis to explore optimal CCS deployment and electricity pricing decisions in fossil-energy power supply chains under third-party CCS services and consumer environmental recognition. The analysis characterizes dynamic strategic interactions among supply chain participants and captures goodwill evolution as the demand feedback induced by CCS adoption. Equilibrium strategies are derived under alternative trading models with different levels of cooperation and goodwill recognition. Numerical analysis is conducted to reveal the impacts of carbon price, generation cost, electricity demand, and consumer environmental recognition on the outcomes. The results show that: (1) consumer environmental recognition generates stable goodwill dynamics to reinforce CCS adoption incentives across trading models; (2) centralized decision-making improves supply chain efficiency and strengthens the market viability of service-based CCS deployment; and (3) electricity demand significantly affects the equilibrium outcomes, with critical demand thresholds reshaping CCS adoption and electricity pricing.

Three findings are identified. First, the police operate as ‘generalist’ responders, acting as a first point of contact and undertaking safeguarding, welfare checks, and evacuation support, often in challenging conditions. Second, specialist functions, including civil contingencies, neighbourhood, rural, and wildlife units, are key to local partnership work. Third, police leadership of the LRF is valued by partners, enabling other responders to focus on specialist tasks. The article argues that climate-related disruption is normalizing reliance on police as generalist responders and institutional anchors of local resilience systems, raising significant questions about responder welfare, organizational capacity and the sustainability of police-led emergency governance as extreme weather events become more frequent, severe and protracted.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/police/paag040","authors":["Ali Malik"],"tags":["General partnership","Corporate governance","Public administration","Emergency management","Public relations"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/police/paag040","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W3200518831","name":"Business Environment Study (Subtask 5.1)","source":"openalex","abstract":"In 2016, WVR acquired the Wabash Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Plant north of Terre Haute, Indiana. Initially, WVR intended to use the plant to produce ammonia using syngas converted to hydrogen.

The experimental results show that when the water–gas ratio is 1∶1, the recovery rate in the gas-drive area is 2.8% to 5.4% in absolute terms higher than that in the water-drive area in different permeability zone, indicating that miscible gas drive can effectively increase the recovery rate compared to conventional water drive. When the water–gas ratio changed from 1∶3 to 1∶1 after gas breakthrough, the gas–oil ratio curve is close to that of 1∶1 injection, and the final recovery rate increased by 0.42%, indicating that increasing the gas injection volume before gas breakthrough has a minor effect on the final development outcome. After changing from a water–gas ratio of 1∶3 to WAG 1∶1 injection, the overall recovery rate increased by more than 10%, with the recovery rates in the water-drive and gas-drive areas increasing by approximately 12% and 6.5%, respectively, and the improvement in the relatively low-permeability area is more significant. This suggests that during the gas–water alternation process, the bubbles formed due to the mixture of gas and water increase the seepage resistance through the Jamin effect, inhibiting the flow of injected fluid in the high-permeability zone, while diverting more injected fluid to enter the low-permeability zone, thereby increasing the sweep efficiency of the low-permeability zone and partially mitigating the impact of reservoir heterogeneity. The research results provide experimental support for the selection of development methods and optimization of water-gas injection for deep-water oil fields.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1061/jleed9.eyeng-6482","authors":["Shuchun Cao","Xinguang Liu","Zhaobo Sun","Hao Wu","Yisheng Hu","Ziteng Huang"],"tags":["Petroleum engineering","Volumetric flow rate","Volume (thermodynamics)","Permeability (electromagnetism)","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1061/jleed9.eyeng-6482","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7153166541","name":"O perfil da mulher atendida em consulta de enfermagem ginecológica na atenção primária à saúde","source":"openalex","abstract":"Objetivo: avaliar o perfil das mulheres atendidas em consulta de enfermagem ginecológica no contexto da Atenção Primária à Saúde.

The aim is to quantify the environmental impacts of hazardous waste incineration with energy recovery and to assess improvement options based on circular economy principles. Three systems were examined: the current situation (CS), a scenario including the beneficial reuse of incineration bottom ash (S1), and a carbon capture and utilization scenario involving CO₂-based methanol production (S2). The assessment followed a consequential LCA framework with system expansion to address multifunctionality by crediting avoided environmental impacts. The system boundary was defined as gate-to-grave, covering operational inputs, emissions to air and water, electricity generation, and final disposal of residues. Electricity produced from the Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plant was credited through substitution of the average Turkish electricity mix. The functional unit was set as 1 ton of waste entering the facility. Foreground data were obtained from a large-scale operating hazardous waste incinerator, while background processes were modelled using the Ecoinvent 3.7 database within SimaPro 9.2 Results show that electricity consumption is the major contributor to environmental burdens in the CS, with a climate change impact of 921 kg CO₂-eq per ton of waste. This impact decreased to 856 kg CO₂-eq/ton in S1 and to 51 kg CO₂-eq/ton in S2. Although S2 achieved the lowest impacts in most categories due to CO₂ capture and conversion, it exhibited higher particulate matter formation and freshwater ecotoxicity linked to steam use. S1 performed best in freshwater ecotoxicity through bottom ash reuse and metal recovery. Overall, the findings demonstrate that circular economy strategies and CO₂ capture technologies can significantly enhance the environmental sustainability of hazardous waste management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11270-026-09163-3","authors":["Abdullah Ata","Simge Çankaya","Şahan Dede","Beyhan Pekey"],"tags":["Life-cycle assessment","Hazardous waste","Waste management","Incineration","Reuse"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-27","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11270-026-09163-3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7155412821","name":"Dənizdə qaz emalı və nəqli qurğularında korroziya monitorinqinin bəzi nəticələri","source":"openalex","abstract":"Dəniz neft-qazçıxarma stasionar platformalarının (DNQSP) və onların üzərində quraşdırılmış texnoloji avadanlıqların uzunmüddətli istismarı ekstremal dəniz iqlim şəraitində onların əhəmiyyətli dərəcədə aşınmasına səbəb olmuşdur.

However, the influence of age on the risk of cardiac events and the recovery of quality of life after surgery remains unclear, particularly when patients before and after a key age threshold are compared. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study of 231 patients who underwent isolated CABG at an academic center in Tehran, Iran. Of these, 203 survivors (61 aged ≤ 55 years and 142 aged > 55 years) completed a 1‐year follow‐up. We assessed major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), all‐cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for heart failure, and repeat revascularization and evaluated health‐related quality of life via the 36‐item Short Form Health Survey (SF‐36). Results At 1 year, the overall mortality rate was approximately 7% ( n = 16), with younger patients having a lower rate (1.59%) than older adults did (8.93%). No significant differences were found in other MACEs ( p values: cardiac‐related readmission = 0.428, myocardial infarction = 0.555, heart failure hospitalization = 1), and the stroke incidence was 0% in both groups. Younger patients had significantly higher physical component scores ( p value = 0.012). After adjustment, older age was associated with lower odds of being in a higher mental component summary quartile (odds ratio = 0.53, p value = 0.048). Conclusion Older age was associated with slower recovery after CABG, both physically and mentally. Personalized rehabilitation and close follow‐up may improve outcomes.

Nesse contexto, a adesão ao exame de Papanicolau é influenciada por fatores relacionados ao conhecimento, percepções individuais e barreiras socioculturais, o que reforça a importância de investigar tais aspectos na atenção primária. Objetivos: O estudo analisou percepções, barreiras e fatores associados à adesão à prevenção do câncer de colo uterino em usuárias da ESF.Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, de abordagem quantitativa, realizado com mulheres atendidas nas ESF, utilizando amostra por conveniência. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de questionário semiestruturado, e a análise contemplou estatística descritiva e inferencial, seguindo rigorosamente os preceitos éticos. Resultados e Discussão: Sob a ótica dos achados, verificou-se predomínio de conhecimento acerca do câncer de colo do útero, embora com lacunas importantes relacionadas ao HPV. Ademais, a percepção sobre o exame de Papanicolau mostrou-se majoritariamente positiva, com boa adesão, sobretudo na rede pública. Não obstante, fatores subjetivos, como medo e vergonha, destacaram-se como os principais entraves à realização do exame, mesmo diante de acesso considerado satisfatório. À luz desses resultados, observa-se que, embora o conhecimento geral seja satisfatório, persistem fragilidades que comprometem a adesão efetiva ao rastreamento. Nesse sentido, barreiras emocionais assumem papel central, sobrepondo-se, em muitos casos, às limitações estruturais, o que evidencia a necessidade de estratégias mais sensíveis às dimensões psicossociais das usuárias. Conclusão: Por fim, infere-se que o fortalecimento de ações educativas mais humanizadas e contínuas na atenção primária é fundamental para ampliar o conhecimento qualificado e reduzir barreiras subjetivas, contribuindo, assim, para a melhoria da adesão ao rastreamento e para a redução da incidência e mortalidade por câncer de colo do útero.","url":"https://doi.org/10.36557/2674-8169.2026v8n6p133-151","authors":["Júlia de Paula Amaral","Isabela Mendonça Prates","Arianne Gonçalves De Melo","Balthasar Pletsch Ribeiro","Heloísa Carvalho De Oliveira","Angélica da Silva Mesak Fagundes","Natália Ferreira Bretas","Valentina Nery Da Silva Franco","Júlia Carneiro Gondim","Antônio Simão Addad Neto","Felipe de Mesquita Alves","Elisangela Franciscon Naves Borges"],"tags":["Medicine","Philosophy","Psychology","Gynecology","Clinical Practice"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.36557/2674-8169.2026v8n6p133-151","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7165020421","name":"Impact of Environmental Regulations on Financial and Operational Performance: Evidence from Indian Industries","source":"openalex","abstract":"Environmental regulations have become an inseparable aspect of industrialization to maintain a balance between pollution control and promote sustainable industrial development. In India, these regulations were introduced in the late twentieth century, and now the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change is the main authority responsible for environmental policy and regulation in India. For shorter periods, these regulations increase compliance costs because firms must invest in pollution control equipment, waste management systems, and cleaner technology, which hinder their profitability and financial performance. But, over time, environmental regulations encourage firms to improve resource efficiency, adopt modern technology, and reduce waste, resulting in improved operational efficiency and long term performance.

Apesar da disponibilidade de medidas preventivas eficazes, como a vacinação contra o HPV e o exame citopatológico de Papanicolau, a adesão ao rastreamento ainda é insuficiente. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência, desenvolvido a partir das atividades práticas realizadas por acadêmicos do curso de Medicina da Universidade Ceuma em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde do município de Imperatriz-MA. As observações ocorreram durante o acompanhamento das consultas ginecológicas, incluindo acolhimento, anamnese, exame físico e coleta do material citopatológico, possibilitando a análise dos fatores envolvidos na realização do exame preventivo. RESULTADOS: As vivências permitiram identificar que muitas mulheres sexualmente ativas, inclusive com histórico de múltiplas gestações, nunca haviam realizado o exame de Papanicolau. Entre os fatores associados à baixa adesão destacaram-se o desconhecimento sobre a importância do rastreamento, sentimentos de medo e vergonha, além de dificuldades relacionadas ao acesso aos serviços de saúde. Observou-se ainda que o acolhimento humanizado, a escuta qualificada e as orientações fornecidas durante o atendimento contribuíram para maior segurança e aceitação do procedimento. DISCUSSÃO: Os achados corroboram a literatura ao demonstrar que fatores individuais, socioculturais e estruturais influenciam diretamente a adesão ao rastreamento do câncer cervical. Nesse contexto, a atuação do enfermeiro mostra-se fundamental tanto na realização adequada da coleta quanto na promoção da educação em saúde e no fortalecimento do vínculo com as usuárias.

To gain insight in patient safety for this population, ambulance re-contacts within 72 h are monitored. However, little is known about the background of these non-conveyance cases with a re-contact. This study aims to investigate the incidence of re-contacts, analyse characteristics, and identify factors associated with re-contacts following non-conveyance. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of all non-conveyance cases and all associated re-contacts in two EMS regions in the Netherlands, Gelderland-Zuid and Gelderland-Midden. Data was collected from 1 January 2022 till 31 December 2022. Characteristics of non-conveyance cases with and without a re-contact within 72 h were compared and differences were analysed univariately.

Associations are expressed in odds ratios with 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: In the analysis of 19.563 cases, the overall incidence for an EMS re-contact within 72 h was 5.0% (N = 984/19.563), with 3.4% (669/19.563) within 24 h, 1.0% (195/19.563) within 24-48 h and 0.6% (120/19.563) within 48-72 h.

Other significant associations were noted with night-time cases (OR 1.49, CI 1.21-1.82) and cases in which consultation or handover to a general practitioner occurred (OR 1.25, CI 1.06-1.47). CONCLUSIONS: A low overall incidence of EMS re-contacts indicates that non-conveyance within the EMS system is relatively safe. The likelihood of re-contact is higher for age above 65, male gender, and medical complaints within the specialisms of 'Pulmonology' and 'Neurology'. Non-conveyance cases that involve consultation or handover to a GP and cases occurring at night are also more likely to have a re-contact. The findings inform non-conveyance decision-making, and could serve as a starting point to adapt EMS curricula, and develop guidelines and protocols. This may fuel the enhancement of non-conveyance decision-making, thereby improving the quality of healthcare within the EMS system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13049-025-01365-8","authors":["Renate F.

However, when CO2 is injected into a suitable geological formation in the subsurface during CCS operations, it is essential to ensure that the well integrity of the legacy well within the Area of Review (AoR) is maintained so that the injected CO2 will not make its way to the shallow formation, which can ultimately contaminate the Underground Source of Drinking Water (USDW) and make it to the surface, which can have harmful effects on the environment and human health. Hence, this paper presents a semi-quantitative risk assessment framework for legacy wells within a CCS Area of Review (AoR) and for an Underground Injection Control (UIC) Class VI injection well. The method converts a Feature Event and Process screening into an interaction matrix (IM), assigns probability × severity scores using an incident potential matrix (IPM), and derives cause-and-effect metrics to rank barrier elements and wells. The legacy wells are evaluated using a 5 × 5 IM (casing, cement sheath, water composition, gas/CO2, and USDW), and the injector is assessed using a 7 × 7 IM (adding tubing and packer). From the results, it was found that the risk levels of the Types 2 and 3 wells were the highest, while Types 4–6 clustered in the medium-to-low range, and Types 7–9 and the Class VI well were dominated by low/very low classes. Therefore, it was concluded that the level of risk associated with legacy wells in the AoR depends upon well completion, the well configuration, the number of well barriers, and the depth to which the well penetrates. It was further found that, within the multi-barrier well, the risk level of the first barrier is lower; the risk score continues to increase with each subsequent barrier above it. The most critical elements in the given risk assessment framework for legacy wells in the AoR remain the well cement sheath, casing, and USDW. Meanwhile, the components that affect the well are water composition and the presence of gas/CO2.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en19051146","authors":["Khizar Abid","Cătălin Teodoriu"],"tags":["Environmental science","Risk analysis (engineering)","Process (computing)","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Matrix (chemical analysis)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en19051146","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7147298994","name":"Reservoir Engineering Evaluation of Water Rock Compatibility and Permeability Damage in PX Field","source":"openalex","abstract":"Compatibility between injection fluids and reservoir rocks is a crucial factor in the success of waterflooding operations, particularly in reservoirs with complex characteristics. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate injection water–reservoir rock compatibility from a reservoir engineering perspective, focusing on permeability impairment mechanisms associated with fine migration and suspended solids during water injection in the PX Field. Rock samples were obtained from a selected formation, while injection water was collected from the Water Injection Plant (WIP). Laboratory experiments were conducted by injecting both Total Suspended Solids (TSS)-free water and water containing TSS into 1.5-inch core plugs positioned vertically in a Hassler-type core holder under an overburden pressure of 1,725 psi, backpressure of 250 psi, and room temperature conditions. Moreover, the injection water viscosity during the process of the experiment was 0.95 cP. The results showed a pronounced permeability reduction of up to 98% in the PX Field sample. The permeability decline occurred rapidly and intermittently in distinct stages, which initially proposed clay swelling as a possible mechanism. However, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis presented negligible smectite content, excluding clay swelling as the dominant cause of damage. Permeability impairment was primarily attributed to pore blockage from fine migration and suspended particles, as supported by particle size distribution (PSD) and TSS analyses. These results showed the importance of comprehensive rock–fluid compatibility evaluation before water injection implementation to minimize formation damage and optimize waterflooding performance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.29017/scog.v49i1.1955","authors":["Cece Rahayu","Maulana Hardi","Muhammad Daffa Rizqullah","Oktaviani Kusuma Wardani"],"tags":["Water injection (oil production)","Permeability (electromagnetism)","Overburden","Geotechnical engineering","Swelling"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.29017/scog.v49i1.1955","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7128300145","name":"A Study of High‐Emission Industries: How Policy, Strategy, and Technology Shape Corporate Social Responsibility Toward Carbon Neutrality","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT The extant carbon neutrality (CN) literature largely offers macro‐ or meso‐level analyses, providing limited insights into implementation experiences that could inform granular policymaking and industry strategies.

Needless to mention that the building sector consumes nearly 40% global energy. IAQ is fundamentally dependent on the strategic placement of diffusers and exhausts, and a critical configuration for the placement of the valves can profoundly impact ventilation effectiveness, occupant comfort, and energy consumption. Traditional designs rely on simulations with predefined locations for the inlets and outlets, and static sensor locations, often failing to capture the complex, three-dimensional nature of indoor air distribution. This can lead to a performance gap between design intent and real-world operation. To rectify this predicament, this paper introduces a novel methodology that integrates a dynamic digital twin, autonomous robotic sensing, and uncertainty quantification (UQ) to identify robustly optimal ventilation configurations. The method utilizes a simulation platform to create a digital twin of the experimental setup equipped with air inlets and outlets. A mobile robotic agent then systematically establishes a baseline for the digital twin by autonomously navigating the space to generate high-resolution, spatio-temporal maps of thermal and air quality parameters for various inlet and outlet location scenarios. These rich datasets are used not for deterministic optimization, but to drive a UQ analysis that characterizes the performance robustness of each configuration against key real-world uncertainties, such as sensor error and fluctuations in supply airflow. The best layout was found to be sensitive to operational variance, whereas a UQ-informed robust layout yielded comparable average IAQ. This framework provides a new paradigm for the evidence-based design and virtual commissioning of ventilation systems. It ensures that selected configurations are not only efficient but also robust and reliable under the dynamic conditions of actual building operation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202671601049","authors":["Yi Xiao","Saeid Chahardoli","Mina Lesan","Avijit Sarker","Andrew Z.

Recent studies have advanced offshore wind-to-hydrogen systems, oil and gas platform electrification, offshore energy hubs, platform repurposing, and offshore geothermal utilization. However, these studies remain fragmented in terms of system boundaries, multi-energy coupling mechanisms, engineering constraints, and optimization methods. This paper reviews offshore integrated energy systems from the perspectives of system configuration, key integration technologies, optimization and assessment methods, and future research needs. Offshore integrated energy systems are first classified into offshore renewable-energy-dominated systems, offshore wind–hydrogen systems, oil and gas platform integrated systems, offshore energy hubs and multi-carrier networks, decommissioned-platform repurposing systems, and offshore geothermal and repurposed-well systems. Resource-side, conversion-side, storage-side, network-side, and load-side integration technologies are then summarized. Capacity configuration, operational scheduling, stochastic and robust optimization, multi-objective optimization, energy, exergy, economic, and environmental (4E) assessment, advanced exergy analysis, and energy-hub modelling are further reviewed. Finally, key research gaps are identified, including resource uncertainty, offshore engineering constraints, multi-carrier network coupling, insufficient demonstration data, and policy and economic uncertainty.

Full‐process models were developed in Aspen Plus for three polygeneration configurations and benchmarked against three conventional power systems with CO 2 capture, plus a reference plant without capture. The pressurized oxygen‐enriched polygeneration exhibits the best overall performance: it attains an energy efficiency of 45.97% (≈15% higher than its conventional counterpart) while maintaining high‐purity CO 2 suitable for storage (>95%) and near‐complete capture (≈99.3%) with markedly reduced capture power demand (CPU ≈ 28 MW). Compared with atmospheric polygeneration, pressurization enhances chemical‐product exergy output and further lowers system‐wide losses, leading to the lowest monetized environmental cost among the polygeneration cases. Techno‐economic results and sensitivity analysis indicate that, despite higher capital requirements, pressurized oxygen‐enriched polygeneration achieves the minimum cost of electricity and CO 2 abatement cost among polygeneration options, and its long‐term profitability surpasses atmospheric schemes after mid‐life operation.

One promising approach for CO₂ capture is the utilization of industrial side streams in inorganic carbonation. Inorganic carbonation is a versatile process involving the reaction of CO₂ with alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, toward the formation of metal carbonates. Thus, alkaline wastes and side streams, found in abundance at industrial sites, could have potential as low-cost CO2 absorbents. In Sweden, the two major industrial sectors –pulp and paper and metallurgy– both generate substantial amounts of alkaline by-products.The present work focuses on the investigation of carbon capture via carbonation with 6 different absorbents: black liquor and green liquor dregs (pulp and paper residues), three steel slags (tunnel kiln slag, ladle furnace slag, and electric arc furnace slag), and NaOH-ethanol solutions. Direct aqueous carbonation experiments were conducted with mixtures of 15 or 30% CO2 balanced with N2 in the case of the side-stream materials, while the NaOH-ethanol solutions were investigated in direct air capture. Experiments were conducted at ambient pressure and the uptake of CO2 by each absorbent system was monitored. Key operating parameters, such as reactor configuration, particle size, and temperature were investigated.Black liquor contains dissolved NaOH, which reacts with CO₂ to form soluble Na₂CO₃ and NaHCO₃. Black liquor samples prepared from soda-pulping presented absorption capacity similar to that of a 3 wt% pure NaOH solution. The other materials derive their alkalinity primarily from Ca-based compounds, such as hydroxides and silicates, which react with CO₂ towards the precipitation of CaCO₃. The accessibility of Ca-bearing phases and solubility of Ca2+ significantly affect the carbonation performance. Thus, reducing particle size by crushing or stirring and decreasing the solid-to-liquid ratio had a positive impact on the yield of carbonation. In the case of NaOH-ethanol solutions their performance in direct air capture is primarily mass-transport controlled. The use of a stirred reactor led to nearly complete removal of the CO2 in the air passing through the reactor.Overall, this thesis demonstrates the versatility and simplicity of inorganic carbonation as a carbon capture strategy, highlighting several promising pathways. Further research is required to develop a complete process tailored to each individual system and to enable their successful industrial scale-up.","url":"https://doi.org/10.63959/chalmers.dt/5879","authors":["Emmanouela Leventaki"],"tags":["Carbonation","Alkalinity","Chemistry","Black liquor","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.63959/chalmers.dt/5879","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7172298221","name":"New mitogenomic evidence for the phylogeny of Siphonaptera: insights from Callopsylla dolabris and Oropsylla silantiewi","source":"openalex","abstract":"As important vectors of infectious diseases such as plague, fleas require accurate classification and phylogenetic analysis, which are essential for public health prevention and control. However, complete mitochondrial genome resources for Siphonaptera in public databases are still extremely scarce. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genomes of C. dolabris and O. silantiewi , collected from the high-altitude region in Qinghai Province, were sequenced and characterized for the first time using next-generation sequencing technology. The results showed the two mitogenomes were 17,104 bp and 15,914 bp in length, respectively. Both mitogenomes exhibited significant A+T bias and a strong preference for A/U-ending codons. Selective pressure analysis (Ka/Ks) indicated that mitochondrial protein-coding genes (PCGs) of fleas are predominantly under purifying selection. Phylogenetic reconstructions based on 39 mitogenomic sequences from 36 flea species revealed that Ceratophylloidea was robustly supported as monophyletic. At the family level, neither Ceratophyllidae nor Leptopsyllidae formed a strictly monophyletic group in the present dataset. Pulicidae was recovered as a well-supported monophyletic clade. Both newly sequenced species were placed within Ceratophyllidae.

We evaluated whether simple longitudinal clinical and patient-reported measures improved the prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In this prospective cohort study, 351 patients with first MI were enrolled at a rural tertiary center in South India, of whom 319 formed the analytic cohort. MACE was defined as cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, stroke, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent coronary revascularization, as ascertained through hospital records and structured follow-up. Baseline clinical, biochemical, echocardiographic, and interviewer-administered Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and sleep variables were collected during hospitalization and follow-up (1, 6, and 12 months). Cox models were developed in stages, with the GRACE score as a baseline anchor and follow-up variables incorporated using the last available observations. Model performance was assessed using Harrell's concordance index (C-index), time-dependent area under the curve, and bootstrap validation methods. RESULTS: Over a median follow-up of 5.8 years, 94 patients (29.5%) experienced MACE. The baseline model modestly improved discrimination over GRACE alone (C-index, 0.622 vs. 0.556). The extended model showed higher discrimination (apparent C-index 0.684; optimism corrected 0.660). Follow-up sleep quality, psychosocial symptoms, glycemic measures, and global longitudinal strain contributed to the model, although the estimates were imprecise. CONCLUSION: Longitudinal follow-up measures provided modest incremental prognostic information beyond a GRACE-based benchmark.

Results indicate that the project appears economically favorable under the assumptions of this screening-level analysis and under current policy conditions, with an estimated break-even time of approximately five years. The analysis identifies a large upfront capital investment exceeding $600,000,000, offset by planned revenue from federal tax credits totaling several billion dollars over the project lifetime. Sensitivity analyses show that project economics are dominated by capture costs and annual mass of CO2 sequestration rates, while storage and transport costs play secondary roles. A synthetic policy-perturbation analysis of the $85/ton tax credit further demonstrates that policy volatility materially increases uncertainty in investment returns.

Previous studies largely address macroscopic failure, lacking insights into the dynamic spatial evolution of crack initiation points under coupled thermo-mechanical fields. In this study, a comprehensive numerical framework is developed to predict the fatigue life and locate crack initiation in rubber O-rings using a Strain Energy Density (SED) approach. A two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element model was established using an isotropic nearly-incompressible elastic constitutive relation. The evolution of the equivalent elastic strain and strain energy fields was tracked across a broad thermal operational envelope and various compression ratios. Rather than a monotonic degradation, our simulations reveal a non-linear competing mechanism between thermal softening and geometry-induced strain concentration. Notably, at a critical compression ratio of 15.4%, raising the temperature to 75°C optimally relaxes local stress concentrations, increasing the predicted fatigue life by 24.9%. However, under excessive compression (21.1%) combined with high temperatures, the primary failure mechanism transitions from contact-surface wear to severe deformation interference at the groove root, irrecoverably locking the crack initiation site and halving the structural life. This purely numerical study establishes a theoretical map for identifying micro-crack initiation hotspots in complex dynamic seals, providing a mechanics-based design guideline pending future experimental validation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00952443261485110","authors":["Jie Xu","Tengyun Ma","Xuexing Ding","Xuejing Liu","Zibei Zhang"],"tags":["Materials science","Structural engineering","Strain energy density function","Natural rubber","Composite material"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-27","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00952443261485110","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7133326268","name":"Late-Stage Aryl NCF₃ and SCF₃ Installation Enabled by Coupling Flow-Generated Anions with Aryl Thianthrenium Salts","source":"openalex","abstract":"The incorporation of heteroatom-linked trifluoromethyl groups, such as N-trifluoromethyl (NCF₃) and trifluoromethylthio (SCF₃) motifs, remains challenging, particularly in the context of late-stage aryl functionalization.

However, the natural rate of reaction is generally slow in terms of kinetics, whereby only by dramatically increasing the CO2 dissolution rate can a major impact on the rate of reaction for CO2 mineral carbonation happen. Hence, despite the clear advantages of CO2 mineral carbonation over other options in Carbon Capture and Sequestration CCS technologies, the current research gaps highlighted here should be addressed to ensure future technology deployment success. Therefore, this study investigated the feasibility of the design, operation and experimental improvement of a continuous high-pressure CO2 reactor in producing and optimizing high-quality precipitated calcium carbonates PCC synthesized for consumer and industrial application. A novel mineral carbonation reactor is hereby proposed, in which, by incorporating the application of a high-pressure or supercritical CO2 phase into the reactor, CO2 diffusion can be increased into the continuously fine-sprayed aqueous reaction media within the reactor to form PCC. The effective reactor volume can be simultaneously decreased from the reduced high-pressure CO2 volume. Next, by incorporating a backpressure regulator, a continuous flow of the liquid phase in and out of the reactor can be controlled. The initial reactor design had undergone successful start-up, but experimental improvement alone was unable to provide the anticipated particle size of the calcium carbonate precipitate PCC. Optimized design of the new reactor to limit internal dead flow zones was proven to successfully reduce the particle size of precipitated calcium carbonate PCC from an initially P50/P90 of 87/131 μm to 3.8/9.1 μm. Additionally, a continuous 100 h stable run was successfully executed to thoroughly investigate the three main factors influencing the quality of PCC synthesized, in which the reactant flow rate and feedstock concentration were found to be significant, with the exception of CO2 gas pressure. The overall 3D surface trend of the particle size spread P50/P90 of the PCC synthesized was plotted over the experimental range and found to meet most of the industrial requirements and technical specifications, except for TiO2 replacement which requires sub-micron quality. Instantaneous electricity power consumption was also measured at various operating points. Performance-wise, the continuous high-pressure CO2 mineral carbonation reactor in this work was calculated to be able to process a maximum of 4200 g/h lime CaO feedstock at a lime concentration of 7 g/L and flow rate of 10 g/L, using a 40 L internal volume vessel, effectively increasing the productivity of lime CaO production by several fold from what was reported by peer studies assuming similar electricity costs were used for all productivity factors under consideration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18041795","authors":["Mohammad Ghaddaffi Mohd Noh","Nor Yuliana Yuhana","Syazwan Onn","Ruzilah binti Sanom","M.

This study investigates the development of sustainable bio-nanofilters derived from Saudi desert plant biomass—specifically Date Palm residues, Tamarix spp., and Rhanterium epapposum (Arfaj)—for efficient CO₂ and CH₄ adsorption.

In parallel, artificial intelligence (AI) modeling was employed to predict adsorption efficiency and optimize structural parameters. Results indicate that Date Palm–derived nanofilters exhibited the highest surface area (up to 1420 m² g⁻¹) and superior CO₂ adsorption capacity (5.8 mmol g⁻¹ at 25 °C and 1 bar), outperforming commercial activated carbon.

This case series aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block (SGB) as a rescue therapy for refractory ventricular arrhythmias and one case of rapid atrial flutter following AMI. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed five AMI patients with refractory sympathetically arrhythmia who failed standard medical management. All patients were of Han ethnicity from China, consisting of three males and two females, with ages ranging from 29 to 87 years. All patients underwent bedside ultrasound-guided SGB (unilateral or bilateral) with 1% lidocaine hydrochloride. The primary outcomes were immediate termination of sympathetically arrhythmia and 24-hour arrhythmia-free survival. Results: SGB successfully aborted electrical storm in all 5 patients (100%). The median number of defibrillations per patient decreased significantly from 4 [interquartile range (IQR): 2.5-21] before SGB to 0 (IQR: 0-1) after SGB. The development of ipsilateral Horner syndrome in all cases confirmed successful sympathetic blockade, and no procedure-related complications were observed. Discussion: SGB is a safe and effective bedside intervention for terminating and stabilizing refractory sympathetically arrhythmia in post-AMI patients. It can serve as an important adjunctive therapy to reduce the need for repeated electrical defibrillation. Further prospective randomized controlled studies are warranted to validate its clinical application in acute arrhythmia management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fcvm.2026.1846647","authors":["Ranwei Yao","Yingjie Che","Xiuling Wu"],"tags":["Medicine","Refractory (planetary science)","Stellate ganglion","Lidocaine","Anesthesia"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fcvm.2026.1846647","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7151498489","name":"The social root of technical failure: A bibliometric analysis on research focus shift from RDF quality control to community social capacity in waste management","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background: Urban waste generation has evolved significantly between 1999 and 2023, reflected in rising daily and per capita production.

Understanding CO 2 –brine–oil interactions at the pore and core scales is critical for predicting the fate of injected CO 2 and optimizing storage efficiency. This study presents integrated microfluidic and coreflooding experiments to evaluate carbonated water/brine flooding (CWF) in both model and crude oil systems under varying pressure and salinity conditions. At low pressure (150 psig), CWF showed negligible change in residual oil saturation ( S or ) after waterflooding (WF). However, at elevated pressure (700 psig), S or decreased by approximately 12–15%, demonstrating enhanced oil recovery (EOR) potential. CO 2 flooding further reduced residual oil saturation at both low and high pressures. Interfacial tension (IFT) measurements revealed a linear decrease with increasing pressure and a linear increase with salinity for CO 2 -saturated brine–oil systems, whereas produced water–crude oil systems exhibited no significant pressure dependence. Coreflooding experiments confirmed that carbonated water injection enhances oil recovery with increasing pressure, and low-salinity systems outperform high-salinity counterparts. At low pressure (150 psig), increasing salinity reduced the total solubility trapping of CO 2 in both brine and oil. In contrast, at high pressure (700 psig), increasing salinity enhanced total solubility trapping, a trend with significant implications for storage capacity estimates in hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs. These findings elucidate the interdependence of CO 2 -EOR driven by oil swelling, viscosity reduction, and IFT reduction, and CO 2 storage through solubility trapping, offering practical insights to optimize CCS and carbonated water injection strategies in hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.6c01713","authors":["Sushobhan Pradhan","Khandaker Fahim Anjum","Prem Bikkina"],"tags":["Enhanced oil recovery","Salinity","Solubility","Residual oil","Petroleum engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.6c01713","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403119931","name":"Scaling Out Next‐Gen Virtuous Economies","source":"openalex","abstract":"This chapter examines how the frugal innovators are shaping new multitrillion-dollar markets and building inclusive and sustainable economies.

Peptide-based nanostructures have emerged as promising candidates due to their tunable chemistry, biocompatibility, and ability to self-assemble into ordered supramolecular architectures. In this work, we investigate the adsorption behavior of CO 2 on self-assembled A 6 H and A 6 R peptide membranes through classical molecular dynamics simulations. The A 6 H and A 6 R sequences consist of six alanine residues capped by a terminal histidine or arginine residue, respectively, and self-assemble into stable β-sheet membrane structures whose surface charge distribution and hydration organization are governed by the nature of the terminal residue. After equilibrating the membranes in an aqueous medium, water molecules were removed, and CO 2 was introduced into the simulation box to evaluate gas–surface interactions under idealized gas-phase contact conditions. The results reveal distinct adsorption mechanisms governed by headgroup chemistry: the imidazole-terminated A 6 H interface exhibits preferential electrostatic and hydrogen-bond-driven interactions with CO 2, whereas the guanidinium-terminated A 6 R membrane, characterized by a higher surface charge density, promotes enhanced electrostatic attraction and a larger number of CO 2 binding events.

This method leverages the characteristic that identical input-side voltages can be generated at multiple operating points, thereby providing additional degrees of freedom for implementing an efficiency oriented operating strategy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5445/ir/1000195405","authors":["Marcus Becker","Lukas Stefanski","Marc Hiller"],"tags":["Computer science","Power (physics)","Control (management)","Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry)","Control theory (sociology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5445/ir/1000195405","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7154828144","name":"STUDY ON THE TECHNICAL POTENTIAL OF USING COCONUT FIBERS IN CONCRETE","source":"openalex","abstract":"Este e-book reúne experiências extensionistas que revelam a potência formativa, científica e social da Biomedicina no Extremo Sul da Bahia, articulando ensino, pesquisa e compromisso com a realidade local.Ao narrar projetos que vão da educação em saúde na escola à prevenção de câncer, infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, hipertensão arterial e incentivo à doação de sangue, a obra evidencia o protagonismo estudantil na promoção da saúde e na defesa do Sistema Único de Saúde, dando visibilidade a ações que ultrapassam os muros da academia e incidem diretamente na vida da comunidade.EXTENSÃO, CUIDADO E FORMAÇÃO Cada capítulo deste e-book traduz um movimento de aproximação entre o conhecimento biomédico e as necessidades concretas da população, valorizando metodologias participativas, linguagem acessível e recursos lúdicos como estratégias para ampliar o diálogo em saúde.As experiências aqui sistematizadas mostram como a extensão universitária favorece a construção de um olhar crítico, ético e humanizado, fortalecendo competências técnicas e também comunicacionais, relacionais e cidadãs nos futuros profissionais da área.COMPROMISSO COM A COMUNIDADE As ações descritas evidenciam a responsabilidade social da formação em Biomedicina, ao abordar temas sensíveis e prioritários, como prevenção do câncer do colo do útero, doação de sangue, higiene e saúde escolar, hipertensão arterial e infecções sexualmente transmissíveis.Em diferentes cenáriosescolas públicas, espaços acadêmicos, serviços de saúde e ambientes comunitáriosos projetos demonstram que a educação em saúde, quando dialogada e contextualizada, contribui para reduzir vulnerabilidades, combater estigmas e fortalecer o autocuidado individual e coletivo.AGRADECIMENTOS INSTITUCIONAIS Este e-book não seria possível sem o apoio institucional da Faculdade do Sul da Bahia (FASB), que tem investido na extensão universitária como dimensão indissociável do ensino e da pesquisa, incentivando iniciativas que aproximam a Biomedicina das demandas do território e reafirmam o papel social da educação superior.Aos gestores, coordenações, docentes e equipes técnicas da FASB, o mais sincero reconhecimento por garantirem condições acadêmicas, estruturais e pedagógicas para que esses projetos se concretizassem e fossem aqui registrados.RECONHECIMENTO AO COLEGIADO DE BIOMEDICINA Um agradecimento especial é dirigido ao colegiado de graduação em Biomedicina, cuja dedicação à formação integral dos estudantes se expressa no estímulo permanente à produção científica, às ações de extensão e à reflexão crítica sobre a prática em saúde.O acompanhamento próximo, a orientação qualificada e a abertura ao diálogo foram fundamentais para que cada proposta extensionista ganhasse forma, sentido e rigor, resultando neste material que se oferece à comunidade acadêmica e à sociedade como um convite à continuidade de novas experiências e parcerias.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54033/stebook.978-65-83309-49-5_16","authors":["Laianny Mell Ferreira Lara","Ana Carolina de Oliveira","Geraldo Tadeu Rezende Silveira","Joana Darc da Silva Pinto","Luciana Dias Martins da Costa Castro"],"tags":["Environmental science","Materials science","Engineering","Waste management","Forensic engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.54033/stebook.978-65-83309-49-5_16","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7164850534","name":"Tracking CO2 and seismicity during offshore carbon capture and storage operations with fiber-optic sensors","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9868215/v1","authors":["Pascucci Giulio","Emanuele Bozzi","Sonja Gaviano","Davide Pecci","G.

Needless to mention that the building sector consumes nearly 40% global energy. IAQ is fundamentally dependent on the strategic placement of diffusers and exhausts, and a critical configuration for the placement of the valves can profoundly impact ventilation effectiveness, occupant comfort, and energy consumption. Traditional designs rely on simulations with predefined locations for the inlets and outlets, and static sensor locations, often failing to capture the complex, three-dimensional nature of indoor air distribution. This can lead to a performance gap between design intent and real-world operation. To rectify this predicament, this paper introduces a novel methodology that integrates a dynamic digital twin, autonomous robotic sensing, and uncertainty quantification (UQ) to identify robustly optimal ventilation configurations. The method utilizes a simulation platform to create a digital twin of the experimental setup equipped with air inlets and outlets. A mobile robotic agent then systematically establishes a baseline for the digital twin by autonomously navigating the space to generate high-resolution, spatio-temporal maps of thermal and air quality parameters for various inlet and outlet location scenarios. These rich datasets are used not for deterministic optimization, but to drive a UQ analysis that characterizes the performance robustness of each configuration against key real-world uncertainties, such as sensor error and fluctuations in supply airflow. The best layout was found to be sensitive to operational variance, whereas a UQ-informed robust layout yielded comparable average IAQ. This framework provides a new paradigm for the evidence-based design and virtual commissioning of ventilation systems. It ensures that selected configurations are not only efficient but also robust and reliable under the dynamic conditions of actual building operation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202671601049/pdf","authors":["Yi Xiao","Saeid Chahardoli","Mina Lesan","Avijit Sarker","Andrew Z.

Pariisin sopimuksen mukaan vuoteen 2030 mennessä päästöjä on vähennettävä 55 % vuoden 2010 tasosta ja päästöjen on oltava nolla vuoteen 2050 mennessä. Tämä tarkoittaa melkein 12 Mt päästövähennyksiä metsäteollisuudessa vuoteen 2030 mennessä. Työn tavoitteena on selvittää hiilidioksidin talteenottomenetelmiä ja soveltuvuutta metsäteollisuuteen. Aineistojen perusteella päätellään, että polton jälkeiset talteenottomenetelmät ovat soveltuvimpia metsäteollisuuden integraatteihin, sillä ne ovat helppoja liittää prosessiin niin kutsuttuna retrofittinä. Muita talteenottomenetelmiä on happipoltto sekä talteenotto ennen energiantuotantoa. Ne vaativat suuria muutoksia prosessiin ja kokonaan uusia komponentteja. Työssä selvitetään, mitä erilaisia tuotteita hiilidioksidista pystytään jatkojalostamaan ja miten niitä pystytään jalostamaan. Fischer–Tropsch-menetelmän avulla pystytään jalostamaan erilaisia lentopolttoaineita, merenkulun polttoaineita, bensiiniä ja dieseliä sekä polymeerejä. Sabatier-reaktiolla hiilidioksidista jalostetaan metaania, jota käytetään maakaasun tavoin. Hiilidioksidia tarvitaan myös urean valmistamiseen, jota käytetään esimerkiksi lannoiteteollisuudessa sekä kosmetiikassa. Metsäteollisuudessa voidaan käyttää hiilidioksidia monessa eri prosessin vaiheessa, kuten ruskean massan pesussa sekä jäteveden puhdistamisessa. Teknistaloudellisessa katsauksessa etsitään ratkaisuja, joilla hiilidioksidin talteenottaminen ja jalostaminen on taloudellisesti kannattavaa. Aineistojen perusteella selvitettiin, että EU-politiikan on muututtava laajamittaisen ketjun luomiseksi. Talteenoton vähennyspotentiaali on vielä liian pieni, mutta sitä voidaan nostaa pienentämällä hiilidioksidin talteenoton ja jalostamisen elinkaaren päästöjä sekä pidentämällä sen varastointiaikaa. Vedyntuotannon on kehityttävä samassa suhteessa, sillä sitä tarvitaan hiilidioksidin jalostamisessa. Liiketoimintamallit eivät vielä ole vakiintuneita, joka huonontaa ketjun eri osien toimimista ja investointihalukkuutta. Markkinoiden ajureita voidaan parantaa lisäämällä kuluttajien tietoisuutta ja kehittämällä teknologiaa. Talteenoton kustannukset ovat sellutehtaalla 58 M€ vuodessa. Talteenotosta aiheutuu tiivistetyillä kaasuvirroilla 40–75 € ja laimeammilla virroilla 75–150 € lisäkustannukset sellutonnille. Sellutonnin hinta on noin 1500 €, jolloin noin 2–10 % siitä menee suoraan talteenoton kustannusten kattamiseen. Polykarbonaattipolyolien jalostamisen kustannukset ovat 2500 €/t. Valmiin tuotteen hinta markkinoilla on 2000–6000 € välillä. Kun investointikustannukset laskevat ja tuotteiden laatu paranee, taloudellinen kannattavuus nousee. Suomessa on meneillään useita eri hankkeita, joissa selvitetään talteenoton mahdollisuuksia. Osa laitoksista on jo käyttöönotettu, mutta suurin osa valmistuu suunnitelmien mukaan vuosien 2027 ja 2028 aikana. Vuodesta 2025 alkaen jalostamisen määrä kasvaa suurella nopeudella ja globaalisti lentopolttoaineita tuotetaan eniten. 2040-luvulla hiilidioksidin talteenottaminen ja jalostaminen tulee todennäköisesti olemaan taloudellisesti kannattavaa Suomessa. Tämä kandidaatintyö on toteutettu kirjallisuuskatsauksena. Käytetyt aineistot ovat erilaisia artikkeleita, opinnäytetöitä sekä oppikirjoja ja raportteja.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7133036447","authors":["Pinja Varis"],"tags":["Work (physics)","Population","Welfare economics","Humanities","Geography"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W4381884406","name":"Judge rules in favor of former employee","source":"openalex","abstract":"Case name: Napolitano v.

Through core dynamic plugging and injectivity experiments, single/dual-tube core displacement experiments, and static imbibition oil displacement experiments, the injectivity, plugging effect, imbibition effect, oil displacement mechanism, and optimal injection parameters of the LITF-NSF foam flooding system were studied from three aspects: injection pressure, slug volume, and gas-liquid ratio. The LITF-NSF foam flooding system has good injectivity in the target reservoir, with a resistance coefficient ranging from 1.086 to 15.468; the optimal injection parameters are a constant pressure difference of 5 MPa, a gas-liquid slug volume of 0.3 PV, and a gas-liquid ratio of 2:1. Under these optimal injection parameters, the subsequent water flooding recovery rate can be increased by 29.77%; it can produce a good plugging effect on the high-permeability reservoirs of the target reservoir with a permeability difference of less than 50, and can increase the comprehensive recovery rate of heterogeneous oil reservoirs by more than 10%; the static imbibition recovery rate is 4.38% higher than that of pure water without surfactant, and has a certain permeability-enhancing oil displacement effect.

In contrast to conventional energy analysis, exergy analysis makes it possible to evaluate not only the amount of energy involved in a process, but also its quality and the degree of irre-versibility accompanying energy conversion. In this study, a two-stage thermochemical con-version process of coal is considered, namely air gasification followed by combustion of the produced gas under two different process configurations: without preliminary cooling before combustion and with preliminary gas cooling. The study is focused on the exergy efficiency of these two configurations under different compositions and temperatures of the produced gas in the range of 800-1800 °C. For both process schemes, the overall exergy efficiency as well as the efficiencies associated with chemical and physical exergy were determined. The calcu-lations made it possible to establish the temperature dependence of the exergy efficiency and to identify the operating conditions corresponding to the most favorable thermodynamic per-formance.It was found that, in the case without preliminary cooling of the producer gas, the ex-ergy efficiency reaches its maximum in the temperature range of 1000-1100 °C, where its value is about 63,0 %. When gas cooling is introduced before combustion, the maximum ex-ergy efficiency shifts toward higher temperatures, namely 1200-1300 °C, and reaches about 65,0 %. This result indicates that the thermal state of the produced gas has a direct influence on the distribution of exergy within the system and on the overall thermodynamic effective-ness of the process. It is shown that preliminary cooling of the producer gas changes the structure of exergy flows due to the formation of an additional thermal potential that can be further utilized in associated thermal processes. Owing to this effect, the overall exergy effi-ciency increases by 1,5-7,0 %, depending on the initial temperature and composition of the gas. Thus, gas cooling should be considered not only as an auxiliary operation, but also as a factor affecting the thermodynamic performance of the whole two-stage conversion scheme. The obtained results may be used in the analysis and optimization of coal conversion systems, in particular for improving thermal process schemes and increasing the efficiency of utilizing the energy potential of gaseous products.","url":"https://doi.org/10.34185/1562-9945-2-163-2026-21","authors":["О.

The European Green Deal, initiated by the European Union (EU), sets forth a strategic objective to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. It seeks to change the energy system through three key strategies: promoting renewable energy, increasing energy efficiency, and ramping up investment in green technologies. However, the energy crisis sparked by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, along with slow progress in renewable energy adoption, has highlighted the institutional obstacles and path-dependent issues within Europe's energy transition. The differing energy policies of member states, technical challenges, and political dependencies have all hindered the EU's progress toward its carbon neutrality goals. Thus, identifying effective approaches to break through these constraints has become the linchpin for advancing the green transition. Based on a review of policy documents issued by the EU and its member states, along with relevant academic literature, this paper analyzes the institutional changes and path-dependent issues encountered during the implementation of the European Green Deal, drawing on EU energy statistics. The results reveal that legal frameworks, capital allocation mechanisms, and social mobilization are the key drivers of the transition, while political constraints and technical bottlenecks are the main obstacles to progress. To overcome path dependence, the EU must strengthen customized policy design, optimize funding support mechanisms, and promote cross-border technological collaboration. By doing so, the EU can strike a balance between maintaining policy coherence at the bloc level and enhancing geographical flexibility, thereby offering valuable insights for the global endeavor to attain carbon neutrality.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54254/2754-1169/2026.ld32020","authors":["Huazhang Yan"],"tags":["European union","Energy transition","Neutrality","Energy policy","Carbon neutrality"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.54254/2754-1169/2026.ld32020","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7204699894","name":"Diffusion‐Dominated Modeling of CO 2 Miscible Displacement in Low‐Permeability Reservoirs With Coupled Aqueous‐Phase Reactions","source":"openalex","abstract":"Macroscopic convection is severely limited in low‐permeability reservoirs, and aqueous‐phase chemical reactions are frequently neglected in existing CO 2 miscible flooding models. To address these gaps, this study develops a diffusion–reaction coupled model that simultaneously tracks five distinguishable components—CO 2 , oil, miscible mixture, carbonic acid, and water—and couples the reversible CO 2 –water–carbonic acid reaction with multiphase mass transfer. A water‐saturation‐dependent dynamic diffusion coefficient is introduced to characterize spatial variations in effective diffusion capacity. Numerical results show that all concentration fronts advance at a scaling, confirming diffusion‐dominated transport consistent with analytical solutions and pore‐scale simulations. The dynamic diffusion coefficient improves the continuity and spatial stability of the miscible front and broadens the effective oil mobilization range. The reversible CO 2 –water–carbonic acid reaction buffers local concentration gradients, producing a cooperative “diffusion–reaction buffering–rediffusion” migration pattern; it acts as an internal regulator rather than replacing diffusion as the dominant mechanism. Validation against analytical solutions, literature trends, and mass conservation confirms the model’s physical consistency. This framework offers a theoretical basis for mechanistic studies and parameter optimization of CO 2 miscible flooding in low‐permeability and tight reservoirs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/ijce/2529474","authors":["Jie Chi","Junjie Li","Xihua Zhao","Haoran Zhang","赵光政"],"tags":["Diffusion","Displacement (psychology)","Convection","Mixing (physics)","Mechanics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1155/ijce/2529474","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7164753730","name":"Production and Technology of Iron and Steel in Japan during 2025","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2355/isijinternational.66.7app_i","authors":["The Iron and Steel Institute of Japan The Technical Society"],"tags":["Production (economics)","Metallurgy","Environmental science","Waste management","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2355/isijinternational.66.7app_i","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7196934082","name":"Integrating Carbon Capture, Recycling, and CO2 Mineralization for Circular Concrete Production: A Life Cycle and Techno-Economic Assessment","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.7242957","authors":["Sakolpat Trangansri","Vaidehi Pitre","Sylvia Sleep"],"tags":["Carbon footprint","Greenhouse gas","Life-cycle assessment","Waste management","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.7242957","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7167314207","name":"Valoración de la empresa Compañía de Cervecería Unidas S.A.","source":"openalex","abstract":"Versión original del autor","url":"https://openalex.org/W7167314207","authors":["Antonia Herrera Gómez","Gabriel Villalobos Mijares"],"tags":["Business","Political science","Government (linguistics)","Context (archaeology)","Work (physics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7204114517","name":"Multifunctional solar tower for CO2 reduction: A CFD analysis of photocatalytic methanol synthesis enhanced by natural convection dynamics","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study presents a solar tower photoreactor for CO 2 reduction to methanol that operates without any external energy input. The reactor combines transparent upper walls, which admit solar radiation to a bed of photocatalyst-coated spheres, with an absorber floor that converts unused radiation to heat and drives natural convection through the bed. A computational model coupling Monte Carlo ray tracing, surface reaction kinetics, heat transfer, and buoyancy-driven flow was validated in two parts against independent experiments, giving a mean absolute percentage error of 6.4% for the photocatalytic kinetics and 2.7% for the thermal convection behaviour. The validated model was then applied over a full diurnal cycle (240–1050 W/m 2 , 7:00–19:00) using measured solar irradiation and ambient temperature. The kinetics are treated as temperature-independent, since the source experiments were isothermal, so all temperature effects act through the flow field. Inlet water vapour content was the controlling operating variable. Tripling its mole fraction from 0.02 to 0.06 tripled both the reaction rate, from 25.1 to 75.2 μmol/(m 3 ·s), and the outlet methanol concentration, from 57.4 to 172.6 mmol/m 3 . Raising the inlet gas temperature from 30 to 50 °C lowered the outlet concentration from 57.4 to 52.4 mmol/m 3 , a loss of 8.4%, because a warmer feed weakens the draft. Raising the porous ratio from 0.25 to 0.75 increased the outlet concentration from 5.14 to 57.4 mmol/m 3 and the chemical energy efficiency from 0.88% to 2.38%, through a larger catalyst inventory and a longer residence time. Efficiency reached 7.10% at the highest water vapour fraction. From an aperture of 1963 m 2 , the tower produced about 62 kg/day at baseline conditions and 186 kg/day at the highest water vapour fraction, while sustaining gas velocities of 0.3–0.8 m/s and a stoichiometric oxygen-to-methanol ratio of 1.50 with no pumping.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2026.103552","authors":["Ali Zare","Ahmad Azari","Mohsen Abbasi"],"tags":["Methanol","Solar

of the major causes of death in the world despite the current developments in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-resuscitation. The first heartbeat has been thought of as one of the most powerful predictors of successful resuscitation and survival, but there is a lack of local data about the connection of the first heartbeat with the resuscitation outcomes in Pakistan. Aim: To determine the relationship between the initial cardiac rhythm and the success of resuscitation in patients who develop cardiac arrest. Methods: The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study that was carried out in Emergency Department of POF Hospital, Wah Cantt. A total of 300 eligible patients who were aged between 20-65 years and had developed cardiac arrest during their Emergency Department or Intensive Care Unit stay were enrolled using non-probability consecutive sampling. A structured proforma was used to document demographic features, clinical variables, initial cardiac rhythm, resuscitation, and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and hospital outcomes. The SPSS version 25.0 was used to analyze the data. A p-value less than 0.05 was taken to be statistically significant. Results: The participants had a mean age of 60.8 ± 18.9 years and 53.3% were male. The majority of the cardiac arrests were in the hospital (95.7%). The predominant initial rhythm was asystole (47.7%), then pulseless electrical activity (38.0%), ventricular tachycardia/ ventricular fibrillation (5.3%), and unknown rhythm (9.0%). The proportion of patients that obtained ROSC was 29.3% and 70.7% that did not. Patients with VT/VF demonstrated the highest ROSC rate (56.3%; OR = 3.42, 95% CI: 1.28–9.10; p = 0.011), followed by PEA (41.2%; OR = 2.39, 95% CI: 1.48 3.87; p < 0.001), while asystole had the lowest ROSC rate (16.8%; OR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.19–0.59; p < 0.001). The total hospital mortality stood at 89.3 and only 4.7% of the patients survived to get to the hospital discharge. Conclusion: There were significant relationships between initial cardiac rhythm and resuscitation outcomes in cardiac arrest patients. There was a significant improvement in ROSC with shockable compared to non-shockable rhythms, although overall survival was low. Recognition of rhythm early, prompt resuscitation, and management of post-cardiac arrest optimally can lead to better clinical outcomes in this high-risk group.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4238/63jcps25","authors":["Wajiha Arooj","Syeda Turab Fatima Abidi","Huma Hussain","Spogmaye Haroon","Sana

Empathy is the cornerstone of the nursing profession, acting as a crucial element in patient-centered care. However, the emotional toll of constant exposure to suffering in Intensive Care settings can deplete a nurse’s emotional reserves, leading to Empathy Fatigue (EF). Objectives: This study aims to ascertain the prevalence and determinants of EF among Critical Care Nurses (CCNs) and to outline the foundation for an Empathy Resilience Module (ERM). Methods: A Quantitative Descriptive Cross-Sectional design was employed involving 169 CCNs from tertiary care hospitals in the metropolitan city of Mumbai, India. Data were collected via a validated Scale for Assessment of Empathy Fatigue (SAEF) and a semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Descriptive and Inferential Statistics (Using SPSS V 27). Results: The prevalence of EF among CCNs was categorized as Mild (45.5%), Moderate (53.3%), and Severe (1.2%). Significant statistical relationships (p < 0.05) were found between EF and specific psychosocial factor (mobile phone addiction), Organizational/patient-related factors (lack of sophisticated equipments), and physical variables (lack of adequate sleep). Conclusion: EF is a pervasive issue in critical care environments, predominantly existing at moderate levels. Identifying these triggers highlights the vital need for institutional interventions, such as the proposed ERM, to safeguard nurses' emotional well-being and optimize quality care.","url":"https://doi.org/10.25258/ijddt.16.48s.4","authors":["Reshma SR","S Manikandan","Pooja Jayan Nair"],"tags":["Empathy","Psychosocial","Descriptive statistics","Psychology","Psychological resilience"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.25258/ijddt.16.48s.4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7128739073","name":"Vacunación contra el virus del papiloma humano en las Américas.

Keberadaan senyawa ini menjadi salah satu penyebab utama kerusakan material pada tangki penyimpanan (storage tank), yang dapat menimbulkan risiko kegagalan operasional, kerugian ekonomi, serta bahaya keselamatan dan lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan ketahanan korosi antara dua jenis material yang umum digunakan pada tangki penyimpanan, yaitu baja karbon (carbon steel) dan baja paduan (alloy steel), saat terpapar lingkungan yang mengandung hidrogen sulfida. Metode yang digunakan meliputi tinjauan literatur terkait serta analisis data hasil pengujian korosi dari berbagai penelitian terdahulu, dengan parameter pengamatan berupa laju korosi, mekanisme serangan, dan bentuk kerusakan material yang terjadi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa baja karbon memiliki laju korosi yang relatif lebih tinggi dan rentan mengalami kerusakan berupa retakan akibat tegangan serta penggetasan hidrogen saat terpapar H₂S. Sebaliknya, baja paduan yang mengandung unsur kromium, nikel, atau molibdenum menunjukkan ketahanan yang lebih baik karena mampu membentuk lapisan pelindung oksida yang stabil di permukaan material, sehingga menghambat proses serangan korosif. Meskipun demikian, penggunaan baja paduan memiliki pertimbangan tersendiri terkait biaya investasi yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan baja karbon. Berdasarkan perbandingan tersebut, disimpulkan bahwa pemilihan material tangki penyimpanan harus disesuaikan dengan kadar H₂S, kondisi lingkungan operasi, serta pertimbangan ekonomi guna menjamin keandalan dan umur pakai fasilitas penyimpanan.","url":"https://doi.org/10.31004/riggs.v5i2.11512","authors":["Bondan Pramudya","Laura Claudiana","Nur Aida Kinanti","Puji Astuti Ibrahim"],"tags":["Physics","Carbon steel","Nuclear chemistry","Traditional medicine","Metallurgy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.31004/riggs.v5i2.11512","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7133556689","name":"AÇÃO EXTENSIONISTA: UM ESTUDO ACERCA DA EDUCAÇÃO EM SAÚDE SOBRE O CÂNCER DO COLO DO ÚTERO","source":"openalex","abstract":"Este e-book reúne experiências extensionistas que revelam a potência formativa, científica e social da Biomedicina no Extremo Sul da Bahia, articulando ensino, pesquisa e compromisso com a realidade local.Ao narrar projetos que vão da educação em saúde na escola à prevenção de câncer, infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, hipertensão arterial e incentivo à doação de sangue, a obra evidencia o protagonismo estudantil na promoção da saúde e na defesa do Sistema Único de Saúde, dando visibilidade a ações que ultrapassam os muros da academia e incidem diretamente na vida da comunidade.EXTENSÃO, CUIDADO E FORMAÇÃO Cada capítulo deste e-book traduz um movimento de aproximação entre o conhecimento biomédico e as necessidades concretas da população, valorizando metodologias participativas, linguagem acessível e recursos lúdicos como estratégias para ampliar o diálogo em saúde.As experiências aqui sistematizadas mostram como a extensão universitária favorece a construção de um olhar crítico, ético e humanizado, fortalecendo competências técnicas e também comunicacionais, relacionais e cidadãs nos futuros profissionais da área.COMPROMISSO COM A COMUNIDADE As ações descritas evidenciam a responsabilidade social da formação em Biomedicina, ao abordar temas sensíveis e prioritários, como prevenção do câncer do colo do útero, doação de sangue, higiene e saúde escolar, hipertensão arterial e infecções sexualmente transmissíveis.Em diferentes cenáriosescolas públicas, espaços acadêmicos, serviços de saúde e ambientes comunitáriosos projetos demonstram que a educação em saúde, quando dialogada e contextualizada, contribui para reduzir vulnerabilidades, combater estigmas e fortalecer o autocuidado individual e coletivo.AGRADECIMENTOS INSTITUCIONAIS Este e-book não seria possível sem o apoio institucional da Faculdade do Sul da Bahia (FASB), que tem investido na extensão universitária como dimensão indissociável do ensino e da pesquisa, incentivando iniciativas que aproximam a Biomedicina das demandas do território e reafirmam o papel social da educação superior.Aos gestores, coordenações, docentes e equipes técnicas da FASB, o mais sincero reconhecimento por garantirem condições acadêmicas, estruturais e pedagógicas para que esses projetos se concretizassem e fossem aqui registrados.RECONHECIMENTO AO COLEGIADO DE BIOMEDICINA Um agradecimento especial é dirigido ao colegiado de graduação em Biomedicina, cuja dedicação à formação integral dos estudantes se expressa no estímulo permanente à produção científica, às ações de extensão e à reflexão crítica sobre a prática em saúde.O acompanhamento próximo, a orientação qualificada e a abertura ao diálogo foram fundamentais para que cada proposta extensionista ganhasse forma, sentido e rigor, resultando neste material que se oferece à comunidade acadêmica e à sociedade como um convite à continuidade de novas experiências e parcerias.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54033/stebook.978-65-83309-49-5_1","authors":["Gabriela Avelar Sales","Cássia Aparecida Silva Borges","Jhulia Fernandes Da Paixão","Matheus Shauan Silva Xavier","Letícia Santos De Oliveira","Ana Flávia Oliveira Matos","Natália Souza Cardoso Damascena","Bianca Evellyn Souza Santos","Alessandro Martins Ribeiro","Vivian Miranda Lago"],"tags":["Medicine","Internal medicine","Disease","Context (archaeology)","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.54033/stebook.978-65-83309-49-5_1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7155170373","name":"Biotechnology: Applications of Biotechnology in Sustainable Development and Healthcare","source":"openalex","abstract":"Biotechnology has emerged as a transformative scientific domain with immense potential to address critical global challenges related to sustainable development and healthcare.

The potential for carbon capture in these clusters, together with offshore and supply chain capability developed in the oil and gas industry, provides the foundation for a new regional CO2 Transport and Storage (T&S) industry. The UK Government has already identified policy challenges around the probable requirement to initially oversize the indivisible T&S infrastructure, to lower unit costs and build user confidence. One key issue is guaranteeing demand for the T&S industry output and how any public intervention may be funded, with potential wider economy multiplier effects identified as a source of benefit to offset costs, and a route to helping deliver wider 'Green Growth' and regional 'levelling up' agendas. Here, we develop a CGE model of the UK economy through scenarios involving the staged infrastructure investment required for the new T&S sector. We consider the potential direct and economy-wide impacts of introducing a T&S industry, where government guarantees demand for output but can recover costs from households or emitters. We find that the need to recover costs, particularly in a supply constrained economy, will offset new industry multiplier effects. While establishing that a T&S industry could deliver regional and wider economy gains, the aim of moving to 'polluter pays' approach poses a risk damaging the industrial cluster activity that policymakers look to CCS to safeguard, with wider economy impacts potentially concentrated in host regions.","url":"https://openalex.org/W3190516368","authors":["Karen Turner","Julia Race","Oluwafisayo Alabi","Christian Calvillo","Antonios Katris","Kim Swales"],"tags":["Business","Greenhouse gas","Carbon tax","Economy","Industrial organization"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-08-06","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7169770496","name":"Flexible operation of post-combustion CO2 capture in district heating–coupled waste-to-energy plants","source":"openalex","abstract":"Waste-to-energy plants can recover a large share of the heat released during municipal waste incineration and supply it to nearby consumers through district heating networks, thereby improving overall energy utilization. However, when post-combustion carbon capture is integrated into such district heating-coupled systems, operation is constrained by steam availability, electricity market conditions, and plant integration limits. This study develops a two-layer modelling framework to evaluate the flexible operation of a monoethanolamine-based CO 2 capture system integrated into a waste-to-energy plant supplying district heating. First, a quasi-steady-state process model is used to derive feasible operating envelopes linking steam extraction, electricity generation, and CO 2 capture. These relationships are then embedded in a year-scale mixed-integer linear programming model to determine cost-optimal hourly operation under different electricity tariff structures and flexibility options, including photovoltaic generation and battery storage. The results show that electricity tariff design strongly affects both operational economics and annual capture performance. Dynamic electricity tariffs enable more flexible operation of the capture unit during low-price periods, increasing the annual realized capture ratio compared with fixed tariffs. Additional flexibility from photovoltaic generation and battery storage further improves system performance. In the case study, using the district-heating-priority control strategy under fixed-tariff operation and without additional flexibility as the reference case, dynamic-tariff operation increased the annual realized capture ratio by about 6 percentage points, while the combined PV–battery configuration increased it by about 10 percentage points","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tsep.2026.104852","authors":["Benjamin H.Y.

Herein, reed straw was used as the carbon source, and a precursor interface engineering strategy based on “alkali-assisted hydrothermal deconstruction–potassium oxalate-directed activation” was proposed to construct porous carbon nanosheets with abundant ultramicropores and polar surface sites. The key novelty of this strategy lies in regulating the subsequent activator-carbon interface through precursor-stage lignocellulosic deconstruction, rather than relying solely on high-temperature chemical activation. Unlike conventional direct activation strategies, KOH-assisted hydrothermal pretreatment first weakened the compact lignocellulosic network of reed straw, regulated the local chemical environment of oxygen-containing functional groups, and improved the subsequent contact between K 2 C 2 O 4 and the carbonaceous framework. Subsequent K 2 C 2 O 4 activation further induced the development of micropores/ultramicropores. The optimized KRSO-700 exhibited a BET surface area of 1395 m 2 g −1 , a total pore volume of 0.89 cm 3 g −1 , and the highest ultramicropore volume of 0.30 cm 3 g −1 , with effective ultramicropores mainly concentrated in the 0.35–0.50 nm range. It achieved CO 2 uptakes of 4.83 and 1.51 mmol g −1 at 298 K and 1 bar and 0.15 bar, respectively. Correlation analysis and theoretical calculations indicated that CO 2 capture performance was primarily governed by the ultramicropore volume, while oxygen-containing polar sites enhanced the dipole/quadrupole interactions between CO 2 molecules and the carbon surface. This work offers a precursor-to-pore regulation strategy for designing agricultural waste-derived porous carbons for low-partial-pressure CO 2 capture.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.indcrop.2026.124034","authors":["Qi Liu","Qiao Zou","苏玉","Qianhong Wang","Xuelin Chen","Ruiqi Xue","Xingyuan Lei","Rongkui Su","Xiancheng

In this paper, high-purity commercial CaO was selected as the research object and modified via a high-temperature pretreatment method to improve its CO 2 capture performance and cyclic stability. Experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of different pretreatment durations on the CO 2 capture performance of calcium-based absorbents under the condition of 800 °C. Various characterization techniques were combined to reveal the intrinsic correlation between their microstructure and performance. The results show that high-temperature pretreatment can effectively enhance the CO 2 capture performance of calcium-based absorbents. The CaO-S2 sample calcined at 800 °C for 2 h exhibits the optimal comprehensive performance. Although its initial adsorption capacity is about 0.30 g/g, slightly lower than that of the CaO-S0.5 sample, it remains at approximately 0.30 g/g after 10 calcination-carbonation cycles. This stability is due to its self-activation effect and excellent sintering resistance, making it significantly superior to other samples.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/3269/1/012091","authors":["Xingyu Cao","Ping He","Runyao Ma"],"tags":["Flue gas","Calcination","Materials science","Microstructure","Sintering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/3269/1/012091","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7128412254","name":"Routing India towards Net Zero: Optimal Planning of the CCS Infrastructure","source":"openalex","abstract":"Given its size, growing population, and emerging economy, India's energy choices are critically important for mitigating global climate change. The country's increasing energy consumption, heavily reliant on coal, raises concerns about its ability to achieve its net-zero target by 2070. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies offer a potential solution to reduce emissions from coal-fired power plants. However, the size, cost, and feasibility of CCS deployment in India remain largely unexplored.This paper addresses this gap by introducing a cost-minimizing Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP) model for CCS deployment in India. The model incorporates detailed carbon capture investment, pipeline routing, and onshore and offshore storage investments. To examine the implications of CCS adoption, we analyze four scenarios that reflect alternative policy mandates, storage restrictions, and capture targets.Our results reveal several important findings. First, India's optimal CO2 pipeline network is characterized by local infrastructures concentrated around storage basins rather than forming a nationally integrated network. Second, a significant portion of emissions is transported along an eastern transportation 'backbone' in all modeled scenarios.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7128412254","authors":["Adrien Nicolle","Stéphanie Monjon","Olivier Massol"],"tags":["Software deployment","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Pipeline (software)","Greenhouse gas","Pipeline transport"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-02","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z"},{"id":"oa:W7135178105","name":"Práticas de gestão do conhecimento em universidades corporativas em rede","source":"openalex","abstract":"Este artigo analisa como as práticas de Gestão do Conhecimento (GC) se manifestam em Universidades Corporativas em Rede (UCR).

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is capable of significantly reducing anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and is an important tool in the effort to mitigate climate change. The ability of CCS to sequester emissions at a large scale makes it suitable to particularly emission-intensive sectors, such as the oil and gas sector in Canada. Many factors must be considered holistically to ensure the long-term success of large-scale CCS, such as the availability of emission sources, the design of a CO2 transportation network, the availability and capacity of suitable storage sites, the long-term fate of the injected CO2, the economic viability of the system, and the overall policy environment. Previous studies have considered these factors in demonstrating the viability of CCS in Alberta but have not done so holistically. We take a holistic approach in designing a large-scale integrated CCS system which includes CO2 capture from a hub of 10 large oil sands emitters, transport via a pipeline network, and permanent sequestration in the Nisku and Wabamun saline formations. We use a logistic model to forecast long-term oil sands hydrocarbon production and annual emissions, and ensure that all of the capturable emissions can be stored safely without exceeding pressure limits by modeling the long-term pressure evolution. The injected CO2 will be fully trapped in 6100-11000 years without migrating past the minimum storage depth. We calculate the capital expenditures for the pipeline and injection well components of the system and show that the amount of funding required is reasonable under the umbrella of federal infrastructure funding. This provides a comprehensive framework to ensure the long-term success of future CCS projects.","url":"https://openalex.org/W7115821299","authors":["Zhao, Yu Hao"],"tags":["Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Environmental science","Oil sands","Enhanced oil recovery","Limiting"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.208Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"oa:W4376105419","name":"Carbon dioxide-enhanced oil recovery in Australia – techno-economic evaluation, carbon dioxide source/sink networks and current policy landscape","source":"openalex","abstract":"This paper presents the results of a techno-economics analysis to quantify the potential for storing CO2 and producing lower carbon intensity oil from mature, onshore Australian oil fields located in the Cooper/Eromanga and Surat/Bowen Basins. The work explores the impact of incentivisation, identifies possible sources of CO2 to support CO2-EOR (enhanced oil recovery) deployment, and discusses global CO2-EOR policy. The hypothetical ‘carbon incentive’ assessed in this study resulted in unlocking an additional 40 million metric tons (Mt) of CO2 storage and 73 million barrels (MMBO) of domestic oil production compared to the base case scenario that most closely represent Australia’s current policy and economic settings. Further, the results of this study indicated that, with incentivisation, net-negative carbon dioxide emissions could be achieved by deploying CO2-EOR practices in certain mature oil fields. The study found that there are currently sufficient industrial sources of CO2, particularly from black coal-fired power generation and hard-to-abate industries such as cement and steel production, to support this deployment. An opportunity to explore the co-development of ‘stacked storage’ using both CO2-EOR and concurrent geologic storage of CO2 in adjacent, unconnected reservoirs is proposed. This may significantly reduce development costs compared to stand-alone geologic storage projects, providing more favourable techno-economics, and accelerating the physical connection of CO2 sources and sinks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1071/aj22113","authors":["David Bason","Hadi Nourollah","Vello Kuuskraa","Matt Wallace","Tim Duff","Matthias Raab"],"tags":["Enhanced oil recovery","Incentive","Software deployment","Carbon dioxide","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-05-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1071/aj22113","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"oa:W7169684729","name":"Environmental life cycle assessment of fly ash-based cement (PPC) vs ordinary Portland cement (OPC)","source":"openalex","abstract":"A comparative environmental assessment of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and fly ash-based Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) was conducted using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology in OpenLCA v2.5.

The study evaluated environmental impacts associated with raw material extraction, transportation, clinker production, cement grinding, and packaging within a production-stage life-cycle boundary. Environmental performance was quantified using the ReCiPe 2016 Midpoint (Hierarchist) impact assessment method in accordance with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards. Results indicate that PPC exhibits significantly lower environmental impacts than OPC across major categories. Global warming potential was reduced from 873.38 to 598.68 kg CO₂-eq per tonne of cement, while reductions were also observed in terrestrial acidification, marine eutrophication, particulate matter formation, and fossil fuel depletion. The lower environmental burden of PPC is primarily attributed to reduced clinker content through fly ash substitution. Clinker production remained the principal source of emissions in both cement systems.

Left-ventricular (LV) cardiac mechanical efficiency (CE), defined as the fraction of total pressure-volume area (PVA) converted to external work (EW), captures how effectively the LV converts energy into stroke work. Because CE integrates load, chamber volumes, and pump performance into a single physiologic construct, it may directly reflect the energy-work mismatch that characterizes CS. The prognostic value of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)-derived CE for in-hospital outcomes in CS remains uncertain. Purpose To determine whether TTE-derived CE measured within 24 hours of admission predicts in-hospital mortality in patients with CS, and to compare its discriminatory performance with LV ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods Data from CS patients admitted between 2007 and 2018 were analyzed. First LV end-systolic pressure (LVESP=0.9×systolic blood pressure), stroke volume (SV), and LV end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP, estimated using the Nagueh formula) was estimated. CE was then estimated based on EW (EW=(LVESP×SV)−(SV×LVEDP)), potential energy (PE=0.5×LVESP×LV end-systolic volume) and PVA (EW+PE) as CE=EW/PVA×100. We assessed CE and LVEF by TTE performed within 24 hours of admission. Patients were separated into tertiles of CE: high (>47%), moderate (36% < CE ≤47%), and low (CE ≤36%). The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. A key secondary endpoint was cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) mortality. Associations were tested with multivariable logistic regression (pre-specified covariates including LVEF). Results A total of 577 patients were included. Median age was 69 (IQR: 59-78) years, 38% were females and 65% had acute coronary syndrome. CICU mortality was 20% and total in-hospital mortality was 29%. Patients with low CE had a lower LVEF compared with patients with moderate or high CE (21% (IQR:19-24%) vs 31% (IQR: 28-33%) and 45% (39-51%) respectively). Median CE was 40.5% (IQR 31.8–51.0%) and was lower for in-hospital deaths (37.1% vs 42.1%, P<0.001). Patients with lower CE exhibited significantly higher CICU (P=0.003) and in-hospital mortality (P<0.001; Figure 1). Patients with CE in the lowest tertile had significantly increased risk of CICU and in-hospital death (Figure 2) compared with moderate or high CE tertiles. In multivariate analysis, every 1% decrease in CE corresponded to an 10% increased risk of CICU death and an 8% increased risk of in-hospital death. When both CE and LVEF were included in the same multivariate model, both were significant predictors of CICU death, while only CE remained a significant predictor of in-hospital death. Conclusion In patients with CS, TTE-derived CE measured within 24 hours of admission predicts early risk of death, underscoring the prognostic importance of LV energy-work coupling as a marker of disease severity beyond LVEF measurement.Figure 1: Figure 2:","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ehjacc/zuag046.173","authors":["O K Horsdal","K Berg-Hansen","J Oh","S Ito","B Borlaug","B R R Nielsen","H Wiggers","J C Jentzer"],"tags":["Medicine","Cardiogenic shock","Cardiology","Ejection fraction","Internal medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ehjacc/zuag046.173","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"oa:W4396781880","name":"Higher mortality among off-hours versus regular-hours admissions to the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU): insights from the critical care cardiology trials network registry (CCCTN)","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Funding Acknowledgements None. Background The outcomes of patients admitted to general intensive care units vary significantly according to the time of admission. Whether this applies to the CICU setting is unknown. Purpose We sought to determine if patient characteristics, admission source, critical care therapy utilization, and clinical outcomes differ according to whether CICU admission occurred during regular-hours or off-hours. Methods CCCTN is a multicenter prospective registry of consecutive admissions to CICUs in North America coordinated by the TIMI Study Group. For this analysis of admissions during calendar year 2022, \"regular-hours\" was defined as 7 a.m.- 7 p.m. Monday-Friday, and \"off-hours\" was defined as 7 p.m.- 7 a.m. on weekdays or at any time on Saturday or Sunday. Logistic regression analysis was used to adjust in-hospital mortality rates for admission time (on-hours vs. off-hours), age, sex, SOFA score, and cardiac arrest. Results Among 5238 CICU admissions, 2956 (56.4%) occurred during off-hours. Patient demographics (mean age: 67.0 years, 35.7% female, 51.1% white) and comorbidities were generally similar among off-hours and regular-hours admissions. The median SOFA score was 3.0 in both groups. Compared to regular-hours admissions, off-hours admissions were more likely to originate from the ED (39.9% vs. 29.4%, p<0.0001) and less likely to originate from a procedural area (24.5% vs. 41.8%, p<0.0001). ST-elevation MI was a more common admission diagnosis among off-hours vs. regular-hours admissions (19.2% vs. 16.4%, p=0.009). Primary CICU indications of respiratory insufficiency, unstable arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, and distributive/mixed shock were more common among off-hours admissions (Table). Mechanical ventilation, IV vasoactive therapy, and targeted temperature management (TTM) were utilized more frequently among patients admitted during off-hours. Median ICU (2.5 vs. 2.0d) and hospital length of stay (6.2 vs. 5.8d) were longer for off-hours admissions (both p<0.0001). Crude CICU mortality (11.4% vs. 8.5%, p=0.0005) and in-hospital mortality (15.6% vs. 11.7%, p<0.0001) were significantly higher among off-hours admissions (Figure). After adjustment, off-hours admission remained significantly associated with higher in-hospital mortality (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.02 – 1.49, p=0.03). Conclusions Off-hours and regular-hours admissions to the CICU had similar baseline characteristics but differed significantly regarding source of admission, indication for admission, and utilization of critical care therapies. These differences were associated with worse clinical outcomes among off-hours admissions, which may suggest the need for more intensive staffing in CICUs during these times.FigureTable","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ehjacc/zuae036.141","authors":["Umar Mahmood","Ameesh Isath","Fnu Namrata","Atul Bali","David D.

decarbonization of European industry will require large-scale underground CO₂ storage.To ensure the longterm safety of storage sites, it is essential to maintain the integrity of both the geological formation and the surface infrastructure.A critical component exposed to elevated risk are production pipelines and tubing, which operate under highly corrosive conditions -typically involving CO₂-saturated brine at elevated temperatures constitute critical components exposed to elevated risk.To mitigate corrosion, chemical inhibitors are commonly injected into the system.In line with sustainability goals, the use of environmentally friendly, or \"green,\" corrosion inhibitors is recommended.Among many green inhibitors, citrus extracts are particularly popular.In this study, the effect of an alcoholic extract from mandarin peels on the surface of N60 steel was investigated in a 3.5% NaCl environment saturated with CO₂ at 60 °C.Infrared spectroscopy (IR) was used to identify active compounds in the extract and assess the chemical interactions between the steel and the brine, while surface morphology was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The results showed that the inhibitor remained present on the steel surface even at elevated temperatures, whereas the steel surface exhibited less degradation and was more homogeneous.The elemental composition of steel determined by SEM-EDS confirms the presence of a protective layer: the Fe content increases from 66.66% (sample without inhibitor) to 82.50% (with inhibitor), which indicates that the Fe dissolution rate decreases in the presence of the inhibitor.","url":"https://doi.org/10.12911/22998993/208858","authors":["Gordana Bilić","Ewa Knapik","Przemysław Toczek","Katarina Žbulj","Igor

Screening and data extraction will be conducted independently by two reviewers, with discrepancies resolved by consensus or a third reviewer. Data will be summarized narratively and with descriptive statistics, as appropriate.

Työssä keskityttiin oleellisimpiin laitteistoihin ja teknologioihin, jotka ovat jo käytössä tai lupaavassa kehitysvaiheessa. Kolmesta eri vaihtoehdosta työssä keskityttiin palamisen jälkeen tapahtuvaan talteenottoon, koska se on selkeästi yleisin ja edistynein tapa. Tavoitteena oli saada kattava pohja, jonka perusteella voidaan tehdä opintomateriaalia ylemmän ammattikorkeakoulun kurssille. Tutkimuksessa paneuduttiin erilaisiin laitteistoihin ja niiden toimintaperiaatteisiin. Työssä pyrittiin selittämään erilaisten teknologioiden eroja ja niiden hyviä sekä huonoja puolia. Työ sisältää myös pohdintaa talteenoton haasteista ja lyhyen tiivistelmän sen tarpeellisuudesta ja ajankohtaisuuden syistä. Tutkimusta tehdessä selvisi, että osa laitteistovalmistajista on ennestään merenkulkusektorilta tuttuja ja suuren asiakaskunnan omaavia, esim. Wärtsilä, Langh Tech ja osa uusia juuri hiilidioksidin talteenottoon perehtyneitä tekijöitä, kuten Value Maritime ja Ionada. Useiden eri maiden luokituslaitokset ovat olleet monien eri projektien taustalla osallisina ja panostavat paljon hiilidioksidin talteenoton kehittämiseen. Eri valmistajien tekemät laitteistot käyttävät erilaisia talteenottomenetelmiä ja ne soveltuvat erityyppisille aluksille. Johtopäätöksenä todettiin, että useilla eri laitteistoilla on saatu hyviä jopa yli 90 %:n talteenottoasteen tuloksia. Laitteistot vaativat laivalta tilaa, lämpöä ja sähköenergiaa, joten näiden kulutus vaikuttaa pitkälti siihen, mikä laitteisto millekin laivalle sopii. Tätä ongelmaa helpottaa se, että eri teknologioilla on erilaiset tarpeet edellä mainittujen osalta, joten jokaiseen laivaan löytyy sopiva laitteisto.

The upper level optimizes electricity and heat price signals using the APSO and IGWO algorithms, while the lower level realizes coordinated multi-energy flow scheduling based on these signals. The operational performance of the two algorithms is compared across four scenarios. The results show that the scenario with multi-energy storage (Scenario 3) is the optimal adaptive scenario: the charge–discharge regulation of energy storage interacts with price guidance, and the peak-shaving and valley-filling characteristics significantly improve the system’s energy utilization efficiency. This scenario can fully unlock the value of bi-level optimization and meet the operational requirements of complex multi-energy coupling. In the algorithm comparison, the APSO algorithm presents distinct advantages, outperforming the IGWO algorithm in the precise regulation of upper-level electricity and heat prices, lower-level multi-energy flow balance, total operation cost control, and convergence stability. It provides an effective technical solution for the economic and stable operation of integrated energy systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en19051245","authors":["Chao Shen","Boyang Qu","Tao Ren"],"tags":["Mathematical optimization","Computer science","Scheduling (production processes)","Electricity","Convergence (economics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en19051245","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"oa:W7133518273","name":"EDUCAR PARA PREVENIR: EDUCAÇÃO EM SAÚDE ESCOLAR COMO ESTRATÉGIA PARA A PROMOÇÃO DA HIGIENE E PREVENÇÃO DE DOENÇAS NA INFÂNCIA","source":"openalex","abstract":"Este e-book reúne experiências extensionistas que revelam a potência formativa, científica e social da Biomedicina no Extremo Sul da Bahia, articulando ensino, pesquisa e compromisso com a realidade local.Ao narrar projetos que vão da educação em saúde na escola à prevenção de câncer, infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, hipertensão arterial e incentivo à doação de sangue, a obra evidencia o protagonismo estudantil na promoção da saúde e na defesa do Sistema Único de Saúde, dando visibilidade a ações que ultrapassam os muros da academia e incidem diretamente na vida da comunidade.EXTENSÃO, CUIDADO E FORMAÇÃO Cada capítulo deste e-book traduz um movimento de aproximação entre o conhecimento biomédico e as necessidades concretas da população, valorizando metodologias participativas, linguagem acessível e recursos lúdicos como estratégias para ampliar o diálogo em saúde.As experiências aqui sistematizadas mostram como a extensão universitária favorece a construção de um olhar crítico, ético e humanizado, fortalecendo competências técnicas e também comunicacionais, relacionais e cidadãs nos futuros profissionais da área.COMPROMISSO COM A COMUNIDADE As ações descritas evidenciam a responsabilidade social da formação em Biomedicina, ao abordar temas sensíveis e prioritários, como prevenção do câncer do colo do útero, doação de sangue, higiene e saúde escolar, hipertensão arterial e infecções sexualmente transmissíveis.Em diferentes cenáriosescolas públicas, espaços acadêmicos, serviços de saúde e ambientes comunitáriosos projetos demonstram que a educação em saúde, quando dialogada e contextualizada, contribui para reduzir vulnerabilidades, combater estigmas e fortalecer o autocuidado individual e coletivo.AGRADECIMENTOS INSTITUCIONAIS Este e-book não seria possível sem o apoio institucional da Faculdade do Sul da Bahia (FASB), que tem investido na extensão universitária como dimensão indissociável do ensino e da pesquisa, incentivando iniciativas que aproximam a Biomedicina das demandas do território e reafirmam o papel social da educação superior.Aos gestores, coordenações, docentes e equipes técnicas da FASB, o mais sincero reconhecimento por garantirem condições acadêmicas, estruturais e pedagógicas para que esses projetos se concretizassem e fossem aqui registrados.RECONHECIMENTO AO COLEGIADO DE BIOMEDICINA Um agradecimento especial é dirigido ao colegiado de graduação em Biomedicina, cuja dedicação à formação integral dos estudantes se expressa no estímulo permanente à produção científica, às ações de extensão e à reflexão crítica sobre a prática em saúde.O acompanhamento próximo, a orientação qualificada e a abertura ao diálogo foram fundamentais para que cada proposta extensionista ganhasse forma, sentido e rigor, resultando neste material que se oferece à comunidade acadêmica e à sociedade como um convite à continuidade de novas experiências e parcerias.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54033/stebook.978-65-83309-49-5_3","authors":["Ana Clara Suzano","Anna Carolina Barros","Ester Rosa","Ketelly Araújo","Laís Sales","Letícia Miranda","Maria Eduarda Viana","Alessandro Martins Ribeiro","Vivian Miranda Lago"],"tags":["Medicine","Work (physics)","Psychology","Set (abstract data type)","Political science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.54033/stebook.978-65-83309-49-5_3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"oa:W7164179176","name":"The Perceived Barriers to Early Mobilization among Healthcare Providers in Critical Care Units","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background: Early mobilization (EM) is an evidence-based approach that promotes physical activity in critically ill patients in intensive care units, though its implementation remains challenging. Aims: To examine the perceived barriers to EM and assess differences according to clinical role, unit type, and years of experience among healthcare providers in critical care units. Methods and Materials: A cross-sectional, survey-based design was used. Using convenience sampling, 376 healthcare providers were recruited from critical care units across Saudi Arabia. Data were collected via the validated Patient Mobilization Attitudes and Beliefs Survey for Intensive Care Unit (PMABS-ICU). Descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used for analysis. Results: Participants were 39.1% male and 60% female. Respiratory therapists reported the highest overall perceived barriers (M = 40.4, SD = 7.4), followed by nurses (M = 38.5, SD = 9.3), physicians (M = 36.1, SD = 8.1), and physical/occupational therapists (M = 33.7, SD = 8.1); (p = 0.001). Attitude-related barriers had the highest mean score (M = 39.6, SD = 11.7), followed by knowledge (M = 37.7, SD = 16.8) and behavior (M = 37.3, SD = 9.5). Significant associations were observed between barriers and clinical role (p = 0.001), unit type (p < 0.001), and years of experience (p = 0.001). Conclusions: Findings highlight that attitude-related barriers were the highest among healthcare providers. Therefore, targeted training programs are essential to strengthen healthcare providers' confidence and competence in implementing safe mobilization practices for critically ill patients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.36348/sjnhc.2026.v09i06.002","authors":["Reem Nassir Alghadhban"],"tags":["Medicine","Health care","Descriptive statistics","Competence (human resources)","Intensive care unit"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.36348/sjnhc.2026.v09i06.002","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"oa:W7154695111","name":"ОЦІННІ ПОНЯТТЯ В ПРАКТИЦІ КОНСТИТУЦІЙНОГО СУДУ УКРАЇНИ: ПРАВОВА ВИЗНАЧЕНІСТЬ, ДИСКРЕЦІЯ ТА КОНСТИТУЦІЙНІ ГАРАНТІЇ","source":"openalex","abstract":"У статті здійснено комплексний аналіз підходів Конституційного Суду України до тлумачення та застосування оцінних понять у контексті принципу правової (юридичної) визначеності та меж суддівського розсуду.

Обґрунтовується, що активне використання оцінної термінології у кримінальному процесуальному законодавстві та судовій практиці зумовлює підвищені ризики правової невизначеності та довільного правозастосування, що актуалізує стабілізаційну функцію конституційного судочинства. У роботі простежено еволюцію правових позицій Конституційного Суду України – від сприйняття оцінних понять як дефекту законодавчої техніки до їх розуміння як потенційно допустимого інструменту індивідуалізації правозастосування за умови наявності чітких нормативних і тлумачних меж. Проаналізовано ключові рішення Суду, у яких сформульовано критерії допустимості використання оцінних понять при обмеженні прав і свобод особи, а також визначено підходи до контролю дискреційних повноважень органів державної влади. Доведено, що допустимість оцінних понять у кримінальному процесі визначається не рівнем абстрактності правової норми, а її здатністю забезпечувати передбачуваність правових наслідків, запобігати свавільному втручанню у сферу прав людини та гарантувати баланс між гнучкістю правового регулювання і вимогами верховенства права. Зроблено висновок, що практика Конституційного Суду України формує систему конституційних орієнтирів, які обмежують оцінне судження рамками правової визначеності, пропорційності та інституційних гарантій незалежності судової влади","url":"https://doi.org/10.32782/klj/2026.1.50","authors":["Р.В.

The necessity and efficacy of routine thromboprophylaxis following ACL reconstruction remain controversial. OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy and safety of thromboprophylaxis in preventing symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) following ACLR. EVIDENCE REVIEW: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Electronic searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library were performed from inception to January 2026. Included studies compared any form of VTE prophylaxis (pharmacologic, mechanical, or combination approaches) to a control group (no prophylaxis) in patients undergoing isolated ACLR, reporting on symptomatic VTE as a primary outcome. Symptomatic VTE events were pooled and compared using a random-effects model, calculating the pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). FINDINGS: Thirteen studies, comprising 29,186 patients, were included (1 randomized controlled trial [RCT], 12 observational studies). The mean age of the overall patient cohort ranged from 26.5 to 34.2 years, with predominantly male patients (approximately 59.3%). The pooled incidence of symptomatic VTE across all studies was 0.41% (120/29,186 patients). Comparative analysis showed 51 symptomatic events in the prophylaxis group (n = 10,984, 0.46%), and 69 events in the no prophylaxis group (n = 18,202, 0.38%). Meta-analysis of eligible studies showed no statistically significant impact of thromboprophylaxis on the risk of symptomatic VTE occurrence (risk difference [RD], 0.00; 95% CI, -0.00 to 0.00; p = 0.795). The overall complication rate was notably higher among those who received prophylaxis (n = 122, 1.11%) compared to those who did not (n = 6, 0.03%), primarily due to minor bleeding events and hemarthrosis. CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: Routine thromboprophylaxis following isolated ACLR does not yield a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of symptomatic VTE in the general patient population, which already has a very low intrinsic risk (0.41%). Given the very low baseline risk and potential for complications, routine prophylaxis is not recommended for all patients undergoing isolated ACLR. A risk-stratified approach using validated assessment tools should be employed to identify high-risk individuals who may benefit from prophylaxis.

This study evaluates the energy performance of hydrogen production from mixed plastic waste via pyrolysis and in-line steam reforming, with a focus on reducing utility consumption through systematic heat integration. A steady-state process model was developed in Aspen Plus for a representative mixture of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene, followed by detailed energy analysis and pinch-based heat integration using Aspen Energy Analyser. Baseline utility requirements were quantified and compared against optimised configurations incorporating targeted heat exchanger network modifications. The base-case analysis identified significant recoverable heat, enabling a reduction in total external utilities from 7.14 to 2.88 GJ h−1, corresponding to a 59.6% decrease in utility demand. Sequential heat integration scenarios further reduced heating and cooling duties while maintaining process operability, demonstrating the effectiveness of iterative, pinch-guided design. The results show that high-temperature waste-plastic-to-hydrogen systems need not be utility-dominated when energy integration is embedded at the design stage.

This review examines the historical evolution of CMML as a diagnostic entity, its genetic landscape, fundamental controversies in definition, including the contentious boundaries of oligomonocytic CMML (OM-CMML), and the spectrum of associated phenomena, such as plasmacytoid dendritic cell proliferations, systemic mastocytosis, extramedullary disease, and autoimmune manifestations. RECENT FINDINGS: Since the publication of the most recent myeloid classification systems, genomic studies in large CMML cohorts have clarified that cases with borderline monocyte counts are biologically heterogeneous: a subset with bi-allelic TET2 inactivation or TET2 + SRSF2 co-mutation bears the greatest similarity to true CMML, while cases harboring SF3B1, bi-allelic TP53 inactivation (biTP53), or del(5q) may be better classified as myelodysplastic syndrome/neoplasm (MDS), irrespective of the presence of borderline monocytosis. Molecular evolution from clonal hematopoiesis through OM-CMML to overt CMML, and ultimately to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), follows a defined clonal trajectory characterized by the stepwise acquisition of spliceosome, epigenetic, and signaling mutations. Plasmacytoid dendritic cell proliferations, particularly blastic forms, arising in association with or following CMML, share clonal origin and represent a distinct spectrum of monocyte/plasmacytoid dendritic cell lineage dysregulation. In future classification systems, better biologic homogeneity of CMML may be achieved by incorporating specific molecular signatures in the diagnostic criteria and by excluding cases with biTP53 or AML-defining alterations. CMML is defined by its combination of proliferative (monocytic) and dysplastic features, but exhibits considerable genetic heterogeneity. Optimal diagnosis and distinction from related entities require integration of morphology, immunophenotype, and comprehensive genomic profiling.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11899-026-00781-6","authors":["Sanam Loghavi","Robert P.

In an unprecedented level of detail, it shows how children’s exposure to multiple, overlapping climate hazards – combined with their inherent physical vulnerabilities and gaps in the social services they rely on – undermines their rights and increases their risk of harm. The report introduces new data from UNICEF’s Global Child Hazard Database, enabling analysis at a geographic scale relevant for policy and action. It presents updated data and models covering a broad range of hazards for most countries and territories, including the Small Island Developing States. In addition to counting children by country, the analysis maps where children live on a fine geographic grid, so it can estimate how many face several climate hazards in the same place. A newly developed Children’s Climate Risk Framework pairs hazard exposure with children’s vulnerability (their access to health, WASH, nutrition, education, protection and social protection). The report also provides concrete policy recommendations across different sectors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18356/9788865220702","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-07T07:09:32Z","doi":"10.18356/9788865220702","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1136/bmjoq-2026-qsho.authorindex","name":"Author index","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjoq-2026-qsho.authorindex","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-01T11:23:38Z","doi":"10.1136/bmjoq-2026-qsho.authorindex","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/icassp55912.2026.11464852","name":"ICASSP 2026 Organizing Committee","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/icassp55912.2026.11464852","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-21T21:25:28Z","doi":"10.1109/icassp55912.2026.11464852","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/c2024-0-00563-2","name":"Superfoods","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/c2024-0-00563-2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-01T20:03:28Z","doi":"10.1016/c2024-0-00563-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3917/dunod.fabur.2026.01","name":"Écotoxicologie","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3917/dunod.fabur.2026.01","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-28T10:05:27Z","doi":"10.3917/dunod.fabur.2026.01","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.54946/wilm.12213","name":"Understanding Iran","source":"crossref","abstract":"Satyajit Das looks at Vali Nasr's Iran's Grand Strategy which examines the evolution of Iran since the 1979 revolution.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54946/wilm.12213","authors":["Satyajit Das"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-11T07:03:57Z","doi":"10.54946/wilm.12213","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.9785/stuw-2026-1030314","name":"Internationale Verrechnungspreise 2026","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.9785/stuw-2026-1030314","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-06T12:56:43Z","doi":"10.9785/stuw-2026-1030314","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.30682/clionet2610r","name":"https://rivista.clionet.it/volume-10-2026/il-poeta-dei-bambini-e-le-madri-comuniste/","source":"crossref","abstract":"Partendo da una poco nota poesia di Gianni Rodari pubblicata sul quotidiano “L’Unità” dell’8 marzo 1957, il contributo propone uno spunto di riflessione sulla maniera di intendere la sfera privata all’interno del Partito comunista italiano, in particolare il ruolo della donna come madre nella società, pochi mesi dopo lo scoppio della rivolta di Budapest contro il regime sovietico, nell’ottobre-novembre 1956 a seguito del XX Congresso del PCUS. Starting from a little-known poem by Gianni Rodari, published in the newspaper “L’Unità” on March 8, 1957, this paper proposes some reflections on how the private sphere was understood within the Italian Communist Party, particularly the role of women as mothers in society.

The report notes that growth strengthened in 2025, supported by tourism, exports, investment, lower inflation, fiscal surplus, and higher foreign exchange reserves. However, structural vulnerabilities, including high public debt, limited fiscal space, fuel import dependence, and weak social protection, leave the economy exposed to external shocks. Growth is projected to moderate in 2026 as higher fuel and input costs weigh on households, firms, exports, and fiscal balances. The report recommends phasing out broad fuel tax cuts, expanding targeted social assistance, strengthening revenue mobilization, advancing debt restructuring, improving financial-sector oversight, and enhancing energy security. Its thematic chapter emphasizes that stronger and more predictable health financing is essential for human capital, universal health coverage, and long-term inclusive growth in Laos.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/45198","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-15T02:11:24Z","doi":"10.1596/45198","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.52275/00-10-02062026","name":"Социологические чтения - 2026","source":"crossref","abstract":"Социологические чтения - 2025 [Электронный ресурс] : сборник научных статей / Учреждение образования 'Гродненский государственный университет имени Янки Купалы' ; главный редактор В.

Konferencē piedalījās 138 dalībnieki no vismaz 21 valsts, tostarp akadēmisko aprindu, Aizsardzības ministriju, bruņoto spēku, industrijas un starptautisko partnerorganizāciju pārstāvji. Tēzes ir sadalītas četrās tematiskajās sadaļās: bezpilota sistēmu izmantošana sarežģītā operatīvajā vidē, kritiski svarīgas pamattehnoloģijas, sistēmu inženierija un dizains, kā arī aizsardzības industrijas attīstība un ekosistēmas pārvaldība. Liela uzmanība veltīta Ukrainas kara mācībām, aplūkojot gan tehnoloģiskos inovāciju aspektus, gan institucionālās, organizatoriskās un cilvēkresursu dimensijas, kas nepieciešamas noturīgas Eiropas aizsardzības spējas veidošanai.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7250/978993433152","authors":["Inga Jēkabsone"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-15T19:50:06Z","doi":"10.7250/978993433152","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1136/bmjoq-2026-ihi.authorindex","name":"Author index","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjoq-2026-ihi.authorindex","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-28T01:29:24Z","doi":"10.1136/bmjoq-2026-ihi.authorindex","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.51684/firs.146145","name":"Research Roundup - June 2026","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.51684/firs.146145","authors":["Justin Morgenstern"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-29T23:13:21Z","doi":"10.51684/firs.146145","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-443-36593-5.18001-9","name":"Index","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-443-36593-5.18001-9","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-13T16:17:31Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-443-36593-5.18001-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5006/c2026-00384","name":"Thermal Insulation Nano-Paint","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract This interim report documents the formulation and preliminary evaluation of a thin-film thermal-insulation nano-paint based on acrylic and polyurethane binders loaded with porous silica/aerogel fillers, applied over substrate-appropriate primers (metals, concrete, wood/MDF). The scope covers application notes, basic thermal characterization at elevated setpoints, and electrochemical screening under a benign, indoor-service electrolyte. Thermal tests at matched heat input show reduced coated-surface temperatures relative to uncoated controls, supporting energy-efficiency potential in service. At lower operating temperatures, the same effect supports personnel safety by lowering touch temperatures. Electrochemically, EIS indicated a stable, high-impedance barrier over five weeks (including heated specimens), whereas LPR currents were near the instrument noise floor, precluding reliable icorr extraction. No quantitative corrosion-rate claims are made at this stage. A subsequent phase will add validated LPR, extended EIS with equivalent-circuit fits, longer-term and/or cyclic exposures aligned to the intended service envelope, and comparative matrices (bare / primer-only / primer+topcoat) to isolate any incremental contribution of the insulation layer beyond the primer","url":"https://doi.org/10.5006/c2026-00384","authors":["Farhad Raeisi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-06T13:37:16Z","doi":"10.5006/c2026-00384","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1553/wst139_rezs1","name":"Wiener Studien 139 - Rezensionen (2026)","source":"crossref","abstract":"Rezensionen und Anzeigen Herbert Bannert: Seth L.

TO MEASURE RETROGRADE AMNESIA","source":"crossref","abstract":"Retrograde amnesia principally is divided into autobiographical and semantic retrograde amnesia.Autobiographical retrograde amnesia refers to personal events and episodes of the past which are usually emotionally connotated, can be remembered with respect to the time, when they occurred, and to the place, where they happened.Semantic retrograde amnesia refers to knowing of facts that had been learned in the past.Semantic facts usually cannot be traced back in time and place: One just knows that the Eiffel tower is in Paris.Retrograde amnesia is found in patients with neurological and psychiatric diseases.Neurological patients with retrograde amnesia frequently have traumatic brain injury, are intoxicated, have epileptic attacks, or suffer from a process of dementia.Psychiatric patients with retrograde amnesia may have endured psychic shock condition, or may suffer from conditions of depression.Other psychiatric disease conditions with major retrograde amnesia in the autobiographical domain are found in patients with dissociative conditions, in particular dissociative amnesia and dissociative identity disorder.The great majority of all patients shows deficits only in the episodic-autobiographical domain of retrograde memory.Reliable and valid measurements of retrograde memory arecompared to measuring anterograde memory particularly difficult, as all individuals have a unique repertoire of retrograde memories, especially, of course, in the episodic-autobiographical domain.Therefore, instruments, using a score system that allows a gradation between individuals, were developed only lately.At present, however, a number of test instruments exists (Markowitsch et al., 2023).These will be analyzed and compared with respect to their qualities, cultural aptness, and psychometric properties.","url":"https://doi.org/10.36315/2026inpact015","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-06T13:13:12Z","doi":"10.36315/2026inpact015","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.24132/zcu.ecgic.2026","name":"ECGIC

Experiments were performed to evaluate if there were synergetic effects within the optimization of amine blend concentrations and catalyst selections. Reaction schemes were investigated within the tri-solvents to understand the absorption and desorption mechanisms of coordinative effect. CO 2 absorption was performed at 40 °C, and CO 2 desorption was performed at 90 °C. Five tri-solvent compositions with various catalysts were investigated in terms of initial absorption rate ( I abs ), initial desorption rate ( I des ), heat duty ( H ), and cyclic capacities, which were categorized into absorption–desorption parameters systematically. The results indicated that tri-solvents with catalysts were highly energy-efficient. The optimized tri-blend was 0.3+2+2 mol/L MEA+BEA+AMP, which performed better than the 2+2 mol/L BEA+AMP benchmark on both absorption and desorption. The optimized regeneration performance of tri-blends was 0.3+2+2 mol/L, and its relative heat duty was 32.9% of that of 5 M MEA and 66.5% of that of 2+2 M BEA+AMP. Results manifested that the combination of solid acid–base catalysts with tri-solvents containing “coordinative effects” was a promising solution to further optimize the energy efficiency of CO 2 absorption–desorption within industrial amine-based CO 2 capture processes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.1c00545","authors":["Huancong Shi","Xuan Yang","Hongliang Feng","Junxing Fu","Ting Zou","Jiayue Yao","Zimeng Wang","Linhua Jiang","Paitoon Tontiwachwuthikul"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-05-10T15:26:28Z","doi":"10.1021/acs.iecr.1c00545","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/c2023-0-52191-3","name":"Brucellosis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/c2023-0-52191-3","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-01T20:02:47Z","doi":"10.1016/c2023-0-52191-3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.67535/tsp.000002","name":"ISAISS 2026 Proceedings","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.67535/tsp.000002","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-12T17:59:42Z","doi":"10.67535/tsp.000002","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5555/rawiwr","name":"Test","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5555/rawiwr","authors":["Test"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-23T14:59:26Z","doi":"10.5555/rawiwr","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1182/hem.v23.2.2026213","name":"ASH’s #Fight4Hematology Continues in 2026","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1182/hem.v23.2.2026213","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-11T20:12:51Z","doi":"10.1182/hem.v23.2.2026213","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1136/jmg-2026-bsgm25.authorindex","name":"Author index","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/jmg-2026-bsgm25.authorindex","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-29T01:20:27Z","doi":"10.1136/jmg-2026-bsgm25.authorindex","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.55277/researchhub.tg3ac3ph","name":"Ignitra Reviews 2026 – Is It Scam or Legit?

Reducing activation energy enables and accelerates metabolic reactions in the cells of living organisms. They have many advantages over chemical catalysts; enzymes are more specific and active. Moreover, proteins can function under mild conditions, making them potentially more environmentally friendly. The main problems related to their use are low stability and the inability to separate them from the reaction system, which makes them disposable. To terminate the reaction, the enzyme must be denatured. Immobilization on the solid matrix is the solution to this problem. It can increase stability, and the most important thing is that the enzyme immobilized on a solid support can be easily removed from the reaction system without denaturation. Nanodiamonds are a very promising material for this application. Their surface is highly functionalized, with numerous functional groups, including carboxyl, carbonyl, and hydroxyl groups. The presence of these chemical groups promotes the formation of intermolecular interactions, particularly dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds. In this research, nanodiamonds are used to immobilize two different enzymes: NHase and PETase. These proteins differ in molecular weight, structure, and function. NHase belongs to the hydratase group and catalyzes the hydration of nicotinonitrile to nicotinamide. PETase is a hydrolase enzyme capable of catalyzing the degradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) by hydrolyzing the ester bonds in its structure. Both compounds are therefore industrially important. By measuring adsorption isotherms, it was demonstrated that enzymes adsorbed to nanodiamonds in large quantities. Furthermore, immobilization improved protein stability in all cases. The results of the conducted research also show that immobilization can induce conformational changes in the enzyme's structure, altering activity and even specificity. This represents a major breakthrough, as it turns out that specificity can be changed without terminating mutations. All that is needed is the appropriate selection of the carrier and control of the reaction conditions. In conclusion, enzymes are ecological catalysts with high activity and specificity, but immobilization significantly increases their stability and facilitates their use, thereby increasing their applicability. Therefore, research on enzyme-solid interactions is extremely important.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21175/rad.abstr.book.2026.8.2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-06T14:51:29Z","doi":"10.21175/rad.abstr.book.2026.8.2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1145/3805773","name":"Proceedings of the 2026 ACM Secure Development Conference","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3805773","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-01T05:20:41Z","doi":"10.1145/3805773","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1145/3800645","name":"Proceedings of the 2026 Designing Interactive Systems Conference","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3800645","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-12T18:41:17Z","doi":"10.1145/3800645","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.55277/researchhub.23fq37oo.1","name":"호퍼스 (2026) 다시;보기 무료로 시청하세요 - 무료_다시:보기【ott,vod~2026】","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.55277/researchhub.23fq37oo.1","authors":["gjiy fsrf"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-18T03:19:16Z","doi":"10.55277/researchhub.23fq37oo.1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/icsft66733.2026.11507578","name":"ICSFT 2026 Schedule","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/icsft66733.2026.11507578","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-12T19:46:43Z","doi":"10.1109/icsft66733.2026.11507578","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1136/bmjpo-2026-nppg.authorindex","name":"Author index","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjpo-2026-nppg.authorindex","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-13T11:02:49Z","doi":"10.1136/bmjpo-2026-nppg.authorindex","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1136/bmjpo-2026-gosh.authorindex","name":"Author Index","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjpo-2026-gosh.authorindex","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-27T07:05:20Z","doi":"10.1136/bmjpo-2026-gosh.authorindex","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.209Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1596/45057","name":"FY 2026 South Africa Country Opinion Survey Report","source":"crossref","abstract":"The Country Opinion Survey in South Africa assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in better understanding how stakeholders in South Africa perceive the WBG.

Copyright 2025 Offshore Technology Conference. _ This study assesses the technical feasibility of geological carbon storage in the operator’s Brazilian brownfields, focusing on mature oil fields and associated saline aquifers. The analysis includes geological characteristics, estimated storage capacities, and operational risks in each area. Overall, the findings support the development of regional carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) hubs and demonstrate Brazil’s technical readiness to deploy large-scale CCUS solutions. Introduction In alignment with strategic, logistical, technical, and economic considerations, the operator has prioritized the development of onshore mature fields and their associated saline aquifers near hard-to-abate industrial operations. While acknowledging the significant potential of offshore reservoirs, the operator also has initiated plans for the establishment of four CCUS hubs across Brazil. These include early-stage projects in the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Bahia (Recôncavo Basin), as well as a more-advanced initiative in the northern region of Espírito Santo. Additionally, the Cabiúnas pilot project in northern Rio de Janeiro is in the implementation phase. The northern Alagoas region also is under evaluation as a potential site. This study focuses on three strategically significant regions: Northern Espírito Santo, the Recôncavo Basin, and Alagoas. The first region is at a more-advanced stage of screening and evaluation, while the latter two are still in the early stages of assessment. The primary objective is to develop a comprehensive roadmap, establish benchmarks, and provide guidelines to support future evaluations and the implementation of CCUS solutions across Brazil’s onshore basins. While the complete paper contains detailed discussions of the first and third of these regions, this synopsis includes the evaluation of the Recôncavo Basin. Methodology When selecting oil and gas fields and their associated aquifers for CCUS, several critical criteria must be thoroughly evaluated. Foremost among these are storage capacity and containment. Adequate depth is another essential factor, because CO2 must be stored under conditions that roughly maintain it in a supercritical state. Transmissibility, which reflects the combined effect of formation permeability and thickness and is influenced by the geometry of gridblocks in reservoir simulations, also must be considered. Injectivity, shaped by factors such as reservoir permeability, fluid properties, well design, and near-wellbore conditions, plays a key role in determining the feasibility of CO2 injection. Finally, proximity to major CO2 emission sources offers a significant logistical advantage. In evaluating the carbon-storage potential of subsurface formations, two conceptual end-member models were used, open and closed-system storage resource estimates. These models represent extremes in terms of pressure behavior and containment dynamics during injection. In this context, storage efficiency (SE) serves as a multiplier that reflects the fraction of pore space that can be occupied realistically by CO2. In open systems, higher SE values typically are used because pressure dissipation through connected formations allows for more-extensive CO2 injection. Conversely, in closed systems, lower SE values are applied because of pressure buildup, which limits the volume of CO2 that can be injected and stored safely.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/0126-0015-jpt","authors":["Chris Carpenter"],"tags":["Submarine pipeline","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Environmental protection","Environmental science","Environmental planning"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2118/0126-0015-jpt","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4416575648","name":"Innovation curse: the wastefulness of technologies believed to mitigate climate change","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Technological innovations are increasingly promoted as solutions to climate change. However, many innovations, including Carbon Capture and Storage, bioplastics, and glacier geo-engineering, suffer significant limitations from high costs, speculative efficacy, and adverse ecological consequences. Using Granular Interaction Thinking Theory (GITT), a transdisciplinary framework grounded in information theory, quantum mechanics, and mindsponge theory, in this study, we explain how such technological innovations become systemically favored despite their flaws. We introduce the concept of the “innovation curse,” which arises when institutional and cognitive filtering systems, operating under high informational entropy, default to familiar but ineffective techno-solutions while marginalizing Indigenous and Local Knowledges and nature-based approaches. To address this dysfunction, we propose the Eco-Surplus Transformation Framework, a new model for environmental decision-making designed to foster an eco-surplus culture. Guided by a core semiconducting principle that prohibits offsetting environmental harm with monetary value, the framework establishes a rational hierarchy for climate action that prioritizes harm prevention and proven ecological strategies. We provide the Eco-Surplus Governance Matrix as a toolkit for implementing this paradigm shift through institutional reform. Ultimately, our study argues for a fundamental reorientation of climate strategy away from technological solutionism and toward regenerative, community-driven practices rooted in Indigenous and Local Knowledges to foster long-term environmental resilience.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-025-06098-8","authors":["Minh-Hoang Nguyen","Valoree S.

While established technologies have effectively targeted emissions like Nitrogen Oxides (NO X ) and Sulfur Oxides (SO X ), the persistence of Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions represents an ongoing and significant concern. Novel technologies targeting CO 2 reduction have been lately studied and proposed for inland applications, and are now being developed for maritime applications. With this regard, the present study explores the potential of Carbon Capture Systems (CCS) to mitigate CO 2 emissions produced by cargo ships. While the implementation of CCS faces challenges, including space limitations and logistical complexities, its possible integration onboard marks a significant step in the fight against climate change. The authors propose an innovative approach using a Calcium Hydroxide Ca(OH) 2 based CCS, offering the dual benefit of CO 2 reduction and the potential resolution of ocean acidification through Calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), the final product resulting from the CO 2 capture process. Additionally, the study examines the feasibility of the generated product for reuse in industry, promoting a circular economy and addressing environmental issues.

Some of these models have been built upon optimization algorithms in order to enhance their prediction accuracy. However, due to the importance of time in engineering calculations, the long optimization time of the hybrid models has remained a problem. In this study, a quick optimization algorithm called electromagnetic field optimization (EFO) is presented to deal with this issue. The EFO is combined with a feed-forward artificial neural network (FFANN) to predict the annual thermal energy demand (EDAT) of a residential building based on the building’s characteristics and architecture. A well-known dataset consisting of 11 inputs is used to train and test the proposed model. Additionally, nine conventional FFANNs and several hybrid machine learning are considered benchmark models to evaluate the performance of the EFO-FFANN. According to the results, the calculated mean absolute percentage errors of the EFO-FFANN in the training and testing phases were 2.06% and 1.81%, respectively. The EFO algorithm could improve the prediction accuracy of the conventional FFANNs by around 38%. Hence, the proposed model and its simplified formula can of interest to both civil and energy engineers to do informed decision-making and optimize building energy performance in real-world projects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctae113","authors":["Min Ma"],"tags":["Electromagnetic field","Computer science","Field (mathematics)","Energy (signal processing)","Optimization algorithm"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctae113","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7125955693","name":"Environmental assessment of several paths toward a carbon neutral ready-mixed concrete sector","source":"openalex","abstract":"To prevent serious consequences of climate change, it is essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially CO₂. The concrete industry, largely made up of ready-mixed reinforced concrete (RC), is a key part, as concrete is produced more than all other construction materials combined. This study evaluates decarbonization strategies in the RC sector, including low-clinker concrete (concrete with limestone calcined clay cement - LC 3 and high-volume limestone powder concrete - HVLPC), carbon capture and storage (CCS) and concrete with carbonated recycled aggregates (CRAC). Life cycle assessment was conducted on a typical RC floor slab under current and future conditions, including CCS and full electricity decarbonization. Results show a 60%–90% CO₂ reduction at the concrete level, but only ∼50% overall due to reinforcement impact—insufficient for net-zero under the assumptions made in this study. The best option combines HVLPC, oxyfuel CCS, and green electricity. With CCS and fully decarbonized electricity implemented in the future scenario, differences between conventional and low-clinker concretes drop below 10%. Possible mitigation strategies that can contribute to achieving carbon neutrality in the RC sector are decarbonization of the steel sector, increasing bioenergy and/or green hydrogen use in the kiln's fuel mix and decarbonization of transport.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cemconres.2026.108148","authors":["S.

While most PTMCs exhibit indolent growth and a favorable prognosis, some undergo clinical progression with poor outcomes. Thus, identifying biomarkers associated with PTC, particularly those related to PTMC progression, is crucial for precise risk stratification and treatment planning. This study utilized single-cell RNA sequencing on 19 surgical tissue specimens from 15 patients, including four para-tumor tissues, four non-progressive PTMCs, five progressive PTMCs, and six progressive PTCs. Key findings are corroborated through in vivo and in vitro experiments. Single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics characterized the cellular ecosystem within PTC, revealing multi-directional evolutionary patterns as PTMC progresses. Analysis of progression-specific alterations in intercellular communication networks highlighted the PROS1-MERTK signaling interaction as pivotal in PTMC progression. In vitro and in vivo models confirm that the PROS1-MERTK axis accelerates PTMC progression via paracrine and autocrine signaling. Furthermore, NFYB and FOXP2 are identified as activators of PROS1 transcription in fibroblasts, promoting PTMC progression through the MERTK/WNT/TGF-β signaling.

Nurses' adherence to VAP prevention guidelines plays a critical role in reducing the incidence of this infection. However, various institutional and personal barriers can impact compliance rates in clinical settings. Objective: To assess the adherence of critical care unit (CCU) nurses to ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) guidelines and identify factors influencing this adherence. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Critical Care Department of Medicare Hospital, Multan, from January 2024 to January 2025. A total of 100 nurses working in the ICU and CCU departments were included in this study, which employed convenience sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of three parts: demographic information, VAP guideline adherence (scored on a validated scale), and perceived barriers to compliance. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25. Mean adherence scores were compared across different variables using appropriate statistical tests, with a significance level set at p < 0.05. Results: The mean adherence score was 28.9 ± 4.04 (range: 17–34). Among the participants, 25% demonstrated good compliance, 30% satisfactory compliance, and 45% poor compliance with VAP guidelines. Significant barriers identified included staff shortage (70%), forgetfulness (65%), cost-control policies (60%), outdated education (44%), and fear of poor patient outcomes (42%). Nurses managing more than 20 ICU beds had adherence scores 8.0 points higher than those working fewer than 10 beds (p < 0.001). Additionally, nurses with prior education on VAP guidelines scored 0.8 points higher than their counterparts. Conclusion: Adherence to VAP guidelines among ICU nurses is suboptimal, with a significant proportion demonstrating poor compliance. Higher adherence was associated with more enormous ICU responsibilities and prior education on VAP. Institutional policies aimed at improving staffing levels and ongoing VAP education may enhance compliance and improve patient outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54112/bcsrj.v6i2.1576","authors":["Hina Zahra","Aliza Zaffar","Neelam Saleem","Arooj Fatima"],"tags":["Ventilator-associated pneumonia","Pneumonia","Intensive care medicine","Medicine","Intensive care unit"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.54112/bcsrj.v6i2.1576","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7168836870","name":"Enabling access to talicabtagene autoleucel in relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies; multicenter real-world evidence on delivery, efficacy and safety","source":"openalex","abstract":"Talicabtagene autoleucel (tali-cel) is the first humanized CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy approved in India for relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL).

In this work, we report a green, scalable synthesis of oxidation-resistant metallic Cu nanoparticles via a microwave-assisted polyol method using sodium hypophosphite as a nontoxic reducing agent and lignin as a capping and stabilizing agent. Nanoparticle formation occurs during a final microwave irradiation step as short as 5 min, following a brief homogenization stage, resulting in moderately polydisperse particles with average diameters around 150 nm and without the need for an inert atmosphere. The lignin coating significantly enhances the stability of the particles, maintaining their metallic state for over 120 days in ethanol and 60 days in air. Structural and compositional analyses confirm the effectiveness of lignin in preventing surface oxidation, while electrical conductivity tests show promising values (up to 3.83 × 10 6 S/m, corresponding to a resistivity of 26.1 μΩ·cm), outperforming commercial references.

Traditional materials like Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) exhibit limitations in such environments, including susceptibility to chloride ingress, sulfate attack, and thermal degradation. Geopolymers, synthesized through the alkali activation of aluminosilicate precursors, have emerged as promising alternatives, offering compressive strengths up to 100 MPa, thermal stability up to 800 °C, and ultra-low permeability levels as low as 10⁻1⁸ m2. Moreover, their production can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to OPC.

The energy transition, which is vital for mitigating climate change, entails the substitution of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. Consequently, major energy companies, such as Petrobrás, are obliged to adapt their operations in order to align with the global decarbonisation objectives. The research problem can be defined as follows: how can Petro-brás reconcile its reliance on oil and gas exploration with the imperative of an effective energy transition, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the development of low-carbon technologies? This article examines how Petrobrás’ Strategic Plan aims to facilitate this transition, evaluating the challenges and opportunities for the company and for Brazil. The deductive-analytical method was employed, with bibliographical and documentary research based on Petrobrás reports and studies on energy transition. The conclusion reveals that, although Petrobrás still relies significantly on oil, its investments in renewable energies and carbon capture technologies indicate a progressive shift towards sustainability, in line with global climate commitments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4236/blr.2024.154122","authors":["Valdir Grassi","Geovani Broering"],"tags":["Climate change","Strategic planning","Process management","Plan (archaeology)","Business"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.4236/blr.2024.154122","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407349103","name":"Identification of nutritional characteristics of Haliotis discus hannai in different China sea areas and health risks of heavy metal accumulation","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: The nutritional compositions of abalones (Haliotis discus hannai) vary with geographical origins and environmental factors. Traceability is an important part of food safety, and the heavy metals in the aquatic environment pose a threat to living organisms. Therefore, we present a comparative analysis of the nutrient and heavy metal content in abalones from three different sea areas in China: the Bohai Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea. This study uniquely addresses the correlation between nutrient composition and heavy metal accumulation. By employing weighted gene co-expression network analysis, we reveal the biological implications of heavy metal exposure, specifically focusing on chromium, copper (Cu), manganese, zinc, arsenic (As), cadmium, and lead. RESULTS: Betaine, glycine, and glycogen appeared in three comparisons. The abalone in the East China Sea had the highest content of betaine, and the abalone in the South China Sea had the highest contents of glycine and glycogen. Among the measured metals, the heavy metals accumulated in the viscera were significantly higher than that in the muscle, except Cu, and As showed a high target hazard quotient and carcinogenic risk. CONCLUSION: Betaine, glycine, and glycogen might be important indicators for origin traceability of abalone. Abalones from the South China Sea provide higher nutritional value. Cu had different accumulation patterns and As showed high health risks, and heavy metals brought oxidative stress to abalone.

Specifically, when considering pathogenic bacteria, their capacity to respond to stress and switch to a virulent state through gene regulation is crucial. One of the mechanisms that enables regulation of gene expression at the translational level is RNA modification. These chemical changes produced by specific enzymes are present on all types of RNAs and can modulate translational efficiency by influencing the structure of RNA molecules, the codon usage bias, the interaction with other molecules, or the efficiency of ribosome action. Transfer RNA (tRNA) is the most modified RNA in the cell, with modifications in the core body of the tRNA primarily affecting the stability and flexibility of the structure while modifications in the anticodon stem-loop (ASL) are more involved in decoding, as well as the efficiency and fidelity of translation. Given the impacts of these modifications on the translation process and the critical role of modulating translation fidelity during bacterial stress responses and host interactions, tRNA modifications play an important role in regulating the expression of virulence factors in bacterial pathogens, resulting in changes in various phenotypes. This review aims to establish a comprehensive landscape of tRNA modifications and their direct impact on the translation process, emphasizing their significant role in bacterial virulence and stress responses.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1013600","authors":["Chloé Teixeira","François Vandenesch","Karen Moreau"],"tags":["Transfer RNA","Translation (biology)","Virulence","RNA","Ribosome"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1013600","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7130417881","name":"Comparative solution study of imidazole-derived thiosemicarbazone complexes: effects of methylation and aromatic conjugation on the redox properties, anticancer, and antibacterial activity","source":"openalex","abstract":"-imidazole-TSC demonstrated the greatest potency, while the benzimidazole-TSC complex also exhibited pronounced activity.

Existem aproximadamente 200 subtipos de HPV, classificados conforme seu potencial oncogênico em baixo e alto risco, sendo os tipos 16 e 18 responsáveis por parcela significativa dos casos de CCU. As vacinas anti-HPV surgiram como medida profilática eficaz contra o vírus, oferecendo proteção imunológica por meio de três tipos de imunizante: bivalente, que protege contra os tipos HPV 16 e 18; quadrivalente, contra os tipos 6, 11, 16 e 18; e nonavalente, contra os tipos 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 e 58. Objetivo: Analisar a eficácia das vacinas em mulheres na era pós-vacinal. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo descritivo, qualitativo, do tipo revisão sistemática da literatura com meta-análise, realizado entre fevereiro de 2024 e maio de 2025, seguindo as diretrizes do PRISMA 2020. O protocolo foi registrado no PROSPERO (1057257). As buscas foram conduzidas nas bases de dados PubMed/Medline e SciELO, utilizando os descritores “HPV vaccine”, “efficacy” e “cervical cancer\", com filtros aplicados para artigos em texto completo, estudos com humanos do sexo feminino, publicados entre 2016 e 2025. Foram incluídos 11 estudos que avaliavam mulheres previamente vacinadas, com diferentes faixas etárias, tipos de vacina e contextos populacionais. Os dados foram analisados por meio de modelo estatístico de efeitos aleatórios, utilizando o pacote “meta” no software R. A heterogeneidade entre os estudos foi avaliada pelo teste Q de Cochran e pela estatística I² de Higgins e Thompson, considerando-se p < 0,1 e I² > 50% como indicativos de heterogeneidade, e p < 0,05 como significância estatística. Resultados: A amostra total analisada foi composta por 571.283 mulheres. A eficácia global estimada das vacinas foi de 99,9% (intervalo de confiança de 95%: 99,7–100), com alta heterogeneidade entre os estudos (I² = 97,3%). Na análise de subgrupos, com base no tipo de vacina (bivalente, quadrivalente e nonavalente), a vacina nonavalente apresentou eficácia de 100% (I² = 16%), demonstrando maior consistência entre os estudos avaliados. A vacina quadrivalente obteve eficácia de 99,9% (I² = 98,1%) e a bivalente, 99,6% (I² = 95,2%). A análise de sensibilidade leave-one-out demonstrou que os resultados são robustos e não dependem de um único estudo. A vacinação antes do início da vida sexual apresentou impacto significativo na prevenção de lesões precursoras e na redução do risco de CCU. Conclusão: As vacinas profiláticas contra o HPV demonstram alta eficácia na prevenção do CCU e de suas lesões precursoras, sendo essencial a promoção de políticas públicas que ampliem o acesso à vacinação, especialmente à vacina nonavalente, que apresentou os resultados mais consistentes entre os subgrupos analisados.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5327/2237-4574-ep09","authors":["Andréa Alves Ribeiro","Petra Moussa","Maria Eduarda Macedo Guedes Coelho","Vera Aparecida Saddi Vera Aparecida Saddi"],"tags":["Humanities","Philosophy","Physics","Medicine","Context (archaeology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5327/2237-4574-ep09","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4210705173","name":"The Application of the Environment Act 2021 Principles to Carbon Capture and Storage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a new technology considered to have the potential to decarbonise economies. However, nationally and internationally the use of CCS has also been raising concerns about its potential global risks and adverse impacts on the environment. CCS was part of the discussions at the 4th United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) in March 2019 and in side-events in the 26th UN Climate Change Conference which took place in Glasgow in November 2021. The UK Government aims to deploy CCS at scale during the 2030s, subject to cost reduction. At the same time the UK Government has recently enacted the Environment Act 2021 which provides a set of five environmental principles: the integration principle, the principle of preventative action, the precautionary principle, the rectification at source principle and the polluter pays principle. This work seeks to analyse the application of the UK environmental law principles to carbon capture and storage policies in the UK and its balance with other considerations. Given the concerns surrounding the use of CCS, the debate about its legality may arise in the UK and in other countries. To this end, this paper initially carries out a systematic review of CCS policy documents to discover the policy considerations which support the development of CCS. It then examines the application of the UK environmental law principles to CCS initiatives and its balance with other considerations, such as reduction of carbon emissions, security of energy supply, economic growth and technological leadership. In doing so, this paper aims at contributing to the debate surrounding recent technological developments which have been utilised to help address climate change and some of the legal challenges emerging through the use of CCS under UK environmental law.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202201.0381.v1","authors":["Angelica Rutherford"],"tags":["Principle of legality","Government (linguistics)","Greenhouse gas","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Precautionary principle"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-01-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202201.0381.v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404021035","name":"Computer-aided design of Pt/In 2 O 3 single-atom catalysts for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol","source":"openalex","abstract":"The computer-aided design and experimental realization of Pt/In 2 O 3 SACs exhibit much higher CO 2 reactivity than In 2 O 3 while preserving CH 3 OH selectivity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d4ey00218k","authors":["Yuchen Wang","Zixuan Zhou","Bin Qin","Qingyu Chang","Shanshan Dang","Yongfeng Hu","Kun Li","Yuanjie Bao","Jianing Mao","Haiyan Yang","Yang Liu","Jiong Li","Shenggang Li","David A.

This study aimed to investigate the underlying immunological mechanisms and cytokine dynamics in MPP. We established an acute MPP murine model via intranasal administration of M. pneumoniae. This model recapitulates key features of human MPP, such as robust airway inflammation and cytokine production. Comprehensive analyses were conducted, including histopathology, flow cytometry, and cytokine profiling. Results showed severe inflammatory responses with prominent infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages in lung tissue, whereas monocyte populations were significantly reduced, indicating a shift towards myeloid cell predominance. Notably, 36 cytokines, including pro-inflammatory interleukins (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17A) and chemokines, were statistically significantly upregulated in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid compared to the normal group, highlighting a cytokine storm associated with lung inflammation and tissue damage.

In conclusion, this study preclinical provides insights into the innate immune response and cytokine-driven pathology in acute MPP, underscoring the pivotal roles of myeloid cells and pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Risk prediction tools are essential in guiding preventive strategies, yet their accuracy may vary across populations. This study aimed to assess and compare the applicability, which was based on the availability of all required variables, and the risk stratification performance of four cardiovascular risk assessment tools, such as the Framingham Risk Score (FRS), American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Risk Estimator, Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE), and QRISK®, among Saudi patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Alhada Armed Forces Hospital in Taif, Saudi Arabia, including all Saudi patients aged 18 years and older who were diagnosed with either a first or second myocardial infarction (MI) between January 2020 and January 2025. Data were collected through patient interviews and electronic medical records to retrospectively reconstruct the cardiovascular risk profile prior to the first MI event. Risk scores were calculated using the four tools, and each tool's applicability was based on the availability of all required variables. Statistical analyses were performed to assess tool applicability, risk stratification, and correlations among the tools. Results A total of 65 patients were included, with a mean age of 61 ± 13 years and a mean BMI of 29.9 ± 4.5 kg/m². The majority were male (76.9%), and common comorbidities included hypertension (49.2%), chronic kidney disease (10.8%), and atrial fibrillation (12.3%). QRISK® had the highest applicability (98.5%), followed by FRS (86.2%), ACC/AHA ASCVD Risk Estimator (73.8%), and SCORE (66.2%). SCORE identified the highest proportion of high-risk patients (24.3%), followed by QRISK® (21.6%) and FRS (13.5%). Strong-to-very strong correlations were observed between the tools, especially between QRISK® and ACC/AHA ASCVD Risk Estimator (r = 0.937) and QRISK® and FRS (r = 0.905). Conclusion QRISK® showed the highest applicability in this cohort; however, applicability does not reflect predictive accuracy. As these tools were designed for primary prevention, their use in post-MI patients may overestimate risk. Variability in high-risk classifications by the tools could affect preventive decisions. These findings underscore the need for further validation in larger, prospective, primary prevention studies within the Saudi population.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.86910","authors":["Suha A Alnefaie","Ameerah Bajaber","Ahmad Alzahrani","Rakan Alotaibi","Amjad J Alotaibi"],"tags":["Medicine","Framingham Risk Score","Risk stratification","Internal medicine","Risk assessment"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.86910","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402755356","name":"Kinetic mechanism and determinants of EF-P recruitment to translating ribosomes","source":"openalex","abstract":"EF-P is a translation factor that facilitates the formation of peptide bonds between consecutive prolines.

The interaction with uL1 is essential for EF-P binding, while the β-Lys modification of EF-P doubles the association rate. Specific interactions with the D-loop of tRNAPro or tRNAfMet and via the β-Lys group with the tRNA in the peptidyl transferase center reduce the rate of EF-P dissociation from the ribosome, providing the specificity for complexes that need help in catalyzing peptide bond formation. The nature of the E-site codon has little effect on EF-P binding kinetics.

Using the IPCC emission factor method, a carbon life cycle emission accounting model for lime production was established. We determined that a total of 354,200 tons of carbon emissions were generated from producing 321,000 tons of lime in a year. The decomposition of limestone at a high temperature was the largest carbon emission source, accounting for 62.34% of the total carbon emission. Coal combustion was also an important source of carbon emissions, accounting for 32.66% of total carbon emissions. The carbon emission for one ton of activated lime was 1.46kg, 1.49kg, 1100kg and 1102.95kg respectively for the open-pit, mining stage, crushing stage, and the calcination stage.

During last 12 years, 6,739 criminal cases have been initiated in Ukraine under Article 140 “Improper performance of professional duties by a medical or pharmaceutical worker” of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Only 0.47 % of such cases were brought to the court. Obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, anesthesiology, therapy and traumatology are in the top list of high-risk medical specialties. In every second criminal case related to improper medical care and submitted to court, the guilt of the medical worker was fully confirmed by the court decision. In 152 (55.47 %) of the 274 court cases, the guilt of the healthcare professional was confirmed. In 28 cases (10.22 %), the court issued an acquittal. Another 23 cases (8.39 %) were returned for further investigation due to procedural errors or insufficient evidence. Among the cases where guilt was established, 113 defendants (74.34 %) were released from criminal liability. Only 34 (22.37 %) resulted in convictions. The most frequent reason for exemption was amnesty (47 cases, 30.92 %), followed by the expiration of the statute of limitations (33 cases, 21.71 %). Additional grounds included reconciliation between parties, sincere repentance, or death of the accused. Conclusions. Criminal cases against medical professionals in Ukraine proceed to trial very rarely (0.47 % of malpractice cases). Obstetrics-gynecology, surgery, therapy and anesthesiology are high-risk medical specialties in Ukraine. In every second criminal case against doctors that reaches trial, the court confirms the guilt of the medical professional. Punitive measures are seldom applied, and Ukrainian judicial practice tends toward leniency in adjudicating medical malpractice cases. Transitioning from criminal to civil adjudication, accompanied by improved mechanisms for patient compensation and legal clarity, would better align Ukrainian practices with international standards.","url":"https://doi.org/10.22141/2224-0586.21.5.2025.1917","authors":["В.

Dissolution trapping of CO2 in brine can mitigate the risk of supercritical CO2 leakage during long-term geological carbon sequestration (GCS). The dissolution of overlying supercritical CO2 into brine increases the density of brine in its upper portion, which causes gravity-driven convection (GDC) and thus significantly increases the rate of CO2 dissolution. To date, most studies on GDC-enhanced dissolution are based on homogeneous media, and only few studies exist on the effect of heterogeneity on GDC-enhanced dissolution. Here, we study the effect of heterogeneity and anisotropy on GDC-enhanced dissolution rate using numerical simulations with randomly obtained permeability fields. Dissolution rates calculated by these simulations are related to properties of the permeability field using least-squares regression. We obtained two empirical formulas for predicting the asymptotic GDC-enhanced dissolution rate. In the first formula the dissolution rate is almost linearly proportional to the dimensionless equivalent vertical permeability. In the second one the dissolution rate is linearly proportional to a dimensionless vertical finger-tip velocity. This indicates that the GDC-enhanced dissolution can be predicted using either the equivalent vertical permeability or the vertical finger-tip velocity. Furthermore, both formulas demonstrate that higher-permeability anisotropy results in lower dissolution rates, suggesting that pronounced horizontal stratification can inhibit the dissolution of CO2.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-29-2485-2025","authors":["Yufei Wang","Daniel Fernàndez‐Garcia","Maarten W.

To evaluate their sustainability, it is necessary to analyze their macroeconomic and distributional effects. An approach to do this analysis in an integrated consistent framework is presented here. Methods Comparing ten energy transition scenarios with emission reduction targets by 2050 of 80% or 95%, respectively, allows evaluating a broad range of energy system transformation strategies with respect to the future technology and energy carrier mix. For this purpose, an energy system model and a macroeconometric model are combined, thus re-modeling the unified scenarios. An important extension of the model was concerned with the integration of synthetic fuels into the energy-economy model. One focus besides the overall macroeconomic assessment is the regional analysis. For this purpose, own assumptions on the regional distribution of the expansion of renewable energies were developed. Results The effects on gross domestic product (GDP) and employment are similar on average from 2030 to 2050 across the scenarios, with most of the more ambitious scenarios showing slightly higher values for the socioeconomic variables. Employment in the construction sector shows the largest effects in most scenarios, while in the energy sector employment is lower in scenarios with high energy imports. At the regional level, the differences between scenarios are larger than at the national level. There is no clear or stable regional pattern of relative loss and profit from the very ambitious transformation, as not only renewable energy expansion varies, and hydrogen strategies enter the scene approaching 2050. Conclusions From the relatively small differences between the scenarios, it can be concluded that, from a macroeconomic perspective, it is not decisive for the overall economy which (supply side) strategy is chosen for the transformation of the energy system. More effort needs to be put into improving assumptions and modeling approaches related to strategies for achieving the final 20% CO2 reduction, for example the increasing use of hydrogen.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13705-022-00361-5","authors":["P. .

We aimed to develop a prognostic model of parthanatos mRNA biomarkers for glioma outcomes. A total of 11 parthanatos genes were obtained from ParthanatosCluster database. ConsensusClusterPlus and R \"Limma\" package were used to cluster The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-glioma cohort and analyze the differential mRNAs. Univariate Cox regression analysis, random survival forest model, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis were used to determine the nine ParthanatosScore prognostic genes combination. ParthanatosScore was verified by 656 patients and 979 patients in TCGA and CGCA-LGG/GBM datasets. Differences in genomic mutations, tumor microenvironments, and functional pathways were assessed. Drug response prediction was performed using pRRophetic. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was analyzed. Finally, COL8A1 was selected to evaluate its potential biological function and drug sensitivity of temozolomide and AZD3759 in glioma cells. ParthanatosScore obtained a combination of nine glioma prognostic genes, including CD58, H19, TNFAIP6, FTLP3, TNFRSF11B, SFRP2, LOXL1, COL8A1, and FABP5P7. In the TCGA-LGG/GBM dataset, glioma prognosis was poor in high ParthanatosScore.

A promising approach is the electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), which when powered with renewable electricity sources, provides a pathway for the conversion of intermittent renewable energy and waste CO2 into value‐added chemicals and fuels. However, as CO2RR is accompanied by the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to the presence of water, an opportunity is presented to generate a mixture of CO and H2, also known as synthesis gas or syngas – the building block of various oxy‐hydrocarbon products. The aim of this review is to analyze both Power‐to‐CO and Power‐to‐Syngas studies, in order to classify and discuss the active sites for both CO and H2 generation through a new lens, providing insights into the structure‐activity correlations and facilitating the design of more active syngas electrocatalysts in the future. Through an evaluation of the economic viability of syngas generation, we determine that the carbon capture cost is a key parameter, with improvements in catalyst activity, catalyst impurity tolerance, and electrolyzer technology necessary for significant improvement in the economics of electrocatalytic syngas generation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cctc.202200981","authors":["Josh Leverett","Muhammad Haider Ali Khan","Thành Trần‐Phú","Antonio Tricoli","Rosalie K.

Chemical absorption after combustion has become an effective method for CO2 capture. Meanwhile, this method also leads to potential emission of pollutants, consisting mainly of ethanolamine (MEA) and ammonia (NH3). However, few studies focus on the emission characteristics of pollutants in chemical absorption systems and the factors influencing the emissions. RESULTS In this experiment, MEA and NH3 emissions during the CO2 capture process by the chemical absorption method under different conditions, such as flue gas and absorbent solution temperature, liquid‐to‐gas ratio, CO2 concentration in the flue gas, and absorbent CO2 loading, were investigated. The results indicate that the MEA and NH3 are released during the CO2 capture process, and the amount of release varies with many parameters. Under typical conditions, the emissions of MEA and NH3 were stabilized at 85.8 and 21.5 mg Nm−3, respectively. The emissions of MEA and NH3 increased steadily with the temperature of the flue gas and increasing absorbent solution. Higher liquid‐to‐gas ratio led to more MEA and NH3 emissions, and higher absorbent CO2 loading could inhibit the MEA and NH3 emissions. Calculation of the maximum reduction rate also showed that CO2 loading has the greatest impact on pollutant emissions, and optimizing it reduces pollutant emissions by at least 40%. CONCLUSION It was found that pollution emissions can be controlled by optimizing operating parameters, which can provide a reference for reducing pollutant emissions in the industry. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/jctb.7809","authors":["Xiaowen Yu","Hao Wu","Wenrui Li","Hongmin Yang"],"tags":["Flue gas","Ethanolamine","Ammonia","Chemistry","Pollutant"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/jctb.7809","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7131855908","name":"RETRACTED: The Prognostic-Diagnostic paradox of lead aVR: From ’STEMI-Equivalent’ to ’High-Risk NOMI’ in the era of precision cardiology","source":"openalex","abstract":"The electrocardiographic pattern of ST-segment elevation in lead aVR (STE-aVR) coupled with diffuse ST-segment depression is a finding of profound clinical gravity.

While global renewable capacity more than doubled in the last ten years, the share of renewable sources in total energy consumption remains stable at 17 percent, indicating the multidimensionality of the transition from fossil fuels to renewables.

This study characterised parent perceptions of (1) team practices that impeded or facilitated communication and (2) preparation for family meetings with interprofessional care teams during extended cardiac ICU admissions. METHODS: A purposive sample of parents of children admitted to the cardiac ICU was selected to participate in interviews about their communication experiences. Data were analysed using a grounded theory approach. RESULTS: Twenty-three parents of 18 patients participated with an average length of stay of 55 days at the time of interview. Team practices that impeded communication included inaccurate/incomplete communication, inconsistent within team communication/coordination, and feeling overwhelmed by too many team members/questions. Team practices that facilitated communication included valuing parent preferences, provider continuity, explaining jargon, and eliciting questions. Preparation for family meetings included team practices, parental preferences, and experiences when learning about family meetings (including apprehension about meetings). Family meetings were described as valued opportunities to improve communication. CONCLUSION: Communication with medical teams represents a modifiable determinant of long-term outcomes for families of children in the cardiac ICU. When parents are included as valued members of their child's care team, they are more likely to feel a sense of control over their child's outcomes, even in the face of prognostic uncertainty.

Thus, the present work focuses on the combination of a highly microporous CO 2 adsorbent HKUST-1 coating with porous and interconnected mullite (3Al 2 O 3 ⋅2SiO 2 ) substrates obtained by a combination of additive manufacturing and impregnation techniques, before a complete characterization of their CO 2 -sorption properties. Two triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) architectures, Schwartz Primitive and gyroid, were fabricated with high resolution and accuracy by Digital Light Processing, using two mullite powders, labelled Mc and Mf, presenting different compositions and particle size distribution . Mullite monoliths were functionalized with a continuous HKUST-1 (Cu 3 (BTC) 2 ) coating. The impact of the type of architecture on the amount of deposited HKUST-1 and the sorption capacity were monitored. MOFs mass intakes reached 4.2 and 3.9 wt% for Mc Schwartz primitive and gyroid respectively. The textural properties and CO 2 sorption capacity of the materials were studied by N 2 and CO 2 sorption at 77 K and 298 K respectively. CO 2 gas chromatography was performed at different temperatures (32 °C–80 °C) and gas flows (10–40 mL/min) using a filled column with the different materials. TPMS monoliths were compared to traditional adsorbent powder bed in terms of pressure drops, permeability, gas speed and retention time normalized by MOFs amount, highlighting the advantages of the shaping approaches with respect to powder beds. High permeabilities were reached (Darcy's coefficient k ≈ 10 x10 −13 m 2 for Mc Schwartz). Monoliths also promoted CO 2 /adsorbent contact time, lowering the gas speed below 1.5 cm/s, compared to 2–5 cm/s, in the case of powder bed. HKUST-1 functionalized TPMS monoliths drastically enhanced the CO 2 retention time normalized by MOFs amount, with values increased by a factor 6, from 7 s/g for the powder bed to 30 s/g and 20 s/g for gyroid and Schwartz primitive scaffolds respectively. This work represents a crucial step forward in the development of hierarchically porous and geometrically complex carbon capture and storage systems. Indeed, the current work goes beyond our previous studies by producing and comparing different TPMS designs and introducing for the first time gas chromatography to demonstrate the advantages of TPMS scaffolds in enhancing CO 2 adsorption efficiency.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.micromeso.2025.113601","authors":["Arianna Bertero","Bartolomeo Coppola","Julien Schmitt","Olinda Gimello","Philippe Trens","Paola Palmero","Jean‐Marc Tulliani"],"tags":["Mullite","3d printed","Materials science","Chemical engineering","Monolith"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.micromeso.2025.113601","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407838021","name":"Advancements in Metal–Organic Framework Materials for Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction","source":"openalex","abstract":"In recent years, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered significant attention as highly efficient catalysts for CO2 photoreduction, owing to their unique electronic configurations and exceptional CO2 adsorption properties.

Various block copolymers of poly(cyclohexene carbonate)- b -poly(styrene- alt-N -(hydroxyphenyl)maleimide) (PCHC- b -PSHPMI) were subsequently synthesized by the RAFT copolymerization of styrene and N -(hydroxyphenyl)maleimide (HPMI) in the presence of azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN), which were characterized by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). DSC thermal analyses indicated that the single T g values were observed for all PCHC- b -PSHPMI copolymers, indicating miscible behavior, and the T g value was 194 °C for the PCHC- b -PSHPMI78 copolymer. One- and two-dimensional (2D) FTIR spectroscopy revealed that these PCHC- b -PSHPMI copolymers actually provide relatively weak intermolecular O–H···O═C hydrogen bonding, which was attenuated by the self-association of hydrogen bonding within the pure PCHC and pure PSHPMI segments. In the solid-state 13 C NMR spectra, a pronounced chemical shift variation of the C–OH and C═O units of the PSHPMI segment and C═O units of the PCHC segment was also observed, which is attributable to the intermolecular hydrogen interactions in these PCHC- b -PSHPMI copolymers. Rotating-frame 1 H spin–lattice relaxation [ T 1ρ (H)] analyses also indicated the complete miscible behavior of these block copolymers within the 2–3 nm length scale, and the relaxation times exhibited positive deviations from the linear predicted rule. These results suggest that the loose chain structure was formed because of the weaker intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the PCHC and PSHPMI segments in the block copolymers.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.macromol.5c03069","authors":["Yen-Ling Kuan","Yu-Chun Chiu","Yun-Sheng Ye","Shiao-Wei Kuo"],"tags":["Copolymer","Polymer chemistry","Hydrogen bond","Gel permeation chromatography","Chain transfer"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.macromol.5c03069","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7130543687","name":"Coronaviruses reprogram the tRNA epitranscriptome to favor viral protein expression","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Coronaviruses genomes are enriched in suboptimal A- and U-ending codons, which are typically associated with reduced translation efficiency due to limited cognate tRNA availability.

By analyzing their codon usage, we identify four tRNA modifications—inosine (I), queuosine (Q), 5-methylcarboxymethyluridine/ 5-methylcarboxymethyl-2-thiouridine (mcm 5 U/mcm 5 s 2 U), and 5-methylcytidine/ 5-formylcytidine (m 5 C/f 5 C)—as essential for decoding their suboptimal codons.

This research offers practical recommendations for improved monitoring and safer design practices, in addition to investigating the use of digital image processing (DIP) as a non-invasive technique for tracking slope deformation in tailings dam models subjected to incremental pore water pressure increases. To replicate real-world conditions as closely as possible, a scaled laboratory embankment was built using coarse and fine tailings. During controlled pore-pressure loading, more than 500 high-resolution photos were taken, recording the entire deformation sequence from initial displacement to slope failure. The images were processed using Mathematica to generate pixel-by-pixel displacement fields and vector plots, providing a detailed visualization of deformation mechanisms. The findings demonstrated that DIP accurately detects and measures surface displacement, revealing the mechanisms, direction, and intensity of deformation. This study illustrates the extensive potential of DIP for real-time monitoring by directly connecting slope instability triggered by incremental pore water pressure with visual indications of slope deformation. While the results confirm the strong potential of DIP for deformation monitoring with a minimum detectable displacement of approximately 1.0 mm under controlled laboratory conditions, its field application may be affected by scale effects, variable lighting, and environmental occlusion. The mining industry benefits greatly from the insights gained through in-depth image analysis, which promotes safer tailings dam design and management. Overall, DIP can provide a reliable, scalable foundation for real-time deformation monitoring in operational tailings dams, where continuous image-based measurements can help identify early signs of instability and support proactive risk management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/mining6010017","authors":["Abraham Armah","Mehrdad Razavi","Richard Otoo","Benjamin Abankwa","Sandra Donkor"],"tags":["Tailings","Displacement (psychology)","Tailings dam","Deformation (meteorology)","Geotechnical engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/mining6010017","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7201862129","name":"Analysis of the effects of heat-not-burn tobacco product use on cardiorespiratory symptoms in adults","source":"openalex","abstract":"Aim: To determine if heat-not-burn (HNB) tobacco products are a safe alternative to cigarette smoking by inducing decreased decline of cardiorespiratory function.

We investigated the expression of cytokines in these inflammasome pathways in a mouse model of liver fibrosis and resveratrol-treated macrophages. The results showed that expression of TLR2, MyD88, ERK, and NF-κB1 in liver tissues was increased in the fourth week after treatment with resveratrol but decreased in the fifth week. Similar results were obtained for the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. The results also showed that cytokines in both the TLR2/MyD88/ERK and NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome pathways in macrophages were elevated after 24 h and reduced after 36 h of treatment with resveratrol. Immunofluorescence and nucleocytoplasmic separation assays showed that resveratrol inhibited the translocation of NF-κB from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in macrophages, and increased NF-κB1 was associated with inhibition of the TLR2/MyD88/ERK pathway. Silencing NF-κB1 increased the expression of TLR2, MyD88, and ERK. In conclusion, the TLR2/MyD88/ERK and NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome pathways are involved in the effect of resveratrol on macrophage polarization and the subsequent modulation of liver fibrosis.

Therapeutic errors involving warfarin were more likely to be associated with a medical admission (odds ratio [OR] = 2.23; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.99-2.49) or a serious medical outcome (OR = 2.99; 95% CI: 2.65-3.37), and DOACs were less likely to be associated with a medical admission (OR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.46-0.61) or a serious medical outcome (OR = 0.45; 95% CI: 0.38-0.53) than therapeutic errors involving other antithrombotic medications. The rate of therapeutic errors involving warfarin significantly increased by 187.0% during 2000-2011, followed by a 57.6% significant decrease during 2011-2021. The rate of therapeutic errors involving DOACs increased significantly by 1118.2% during 2011-2021. The scenario \"inadvertently took/given medication twice\" accounted for 56.3% of all therapeutic errors. Increased risk reduction efforts are needed to prevent antithrombotic-related therapeutic errors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ajh.27595","authors":["Emma Cravo","Hannah L.

However, the use of vaccine is often impeded by the cost, a lack of cold chains and other factors. In resource-limited countries in Africa, one approach to improve coverage and reduce cost is to vaccinate against multiple diseases using combined vaccines. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate a combined vaccine for the prevention and control of Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD), Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) and Rift Valley fever (RVF). The LSD and CBPP were formulated as a combined vaccine, and the RVF was formulated separately as live attenuated vaccines. These consisted of a Mycoplasma MmmSC T1/44 strain that was propagated in Hayflick-modified medium, RVF virus vaccine, C13T strain prepared in African green monkey cells (Vero), and the LSDV Neethling vaccine strain prepared in primary testis cells. The vaccines were tested for safety via the subcutaneous route in both young calves and pregnant heifers with no side effect, abortion or teratogenicity. The vaccination of calves induced seroconversions for all three vaccines starting from day 7 post-vaccination (PV), with rates of 50% for LSD, 70% for CBPP and 100% for RVF, or rates similar to those obtained with monovalent vaccines. The challenge of cattle vaccinated with the LSD/CBPP and the RVF vaccine afforded full protection against virulent strains of LSDV and RVFV. A satisfactory level of protection against a CBPP challenge was observed, with 50% of protection at 6 months and 81% at 13 months PV. A mass vaccination trial was performed in four regions of Burkina Faso that confirmed safety and specific antibody responses induced by the vaccines. The multivalent LSD/CBPP+RVF vaccine provides a novel and beneficial approach to the control of the three diseases through one intervention and, therefore, reduces the cost and improves vaccination coverage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/vaccines12030302","authors":["Zahra Bamouh","Amal Elarkam","Soufiane Elmejdoub","Jihane Hamdi","Zineb Boumart","Gregory A.

However, the potential risks of CO₂ leakage to environmental safety and long-term storage efficacy are significant, thereby making the establishment of robust and reliable monitoring systems indispensable. This review systematically explores the potential leakage pathways and key monitoring parameters, including wellbore integrity, CO₂ plume migration, and caprock stability. In addition, the mechanisms and influencing factors associated with the three primary CO₂ leakage pathways are systematically summarized. This approach provides a critical assessment of the advantages, applicability and limitations of prevalent geophysical and geochemical monitoring methods. A special focus is placed on optical fiber sensing technology, whose research progress and application feasibility in laboratory settings are summarized in terms of monitoring targets, measurement accuracy and sensing range. Furthermore, this review highlights several global carbon capture and storage demonstration projects to illustrate the integration and performance of various monitoring technologies in practical engineering. To ensure the efficiency and safety of CO₂ geological storage in the future, it is necessary to develop advanced monitoring technologies, such as optical fiber sensing and promoting the integrated deployment of multi-modal monitoring systems. These efforts are considered essential for supporting the large-scale deployment of carbon capture, utilization and storage engineering, particularly in the context of China.

The spectrum of post-CAR T-cell hematolymphoid abnormalities is expanding, although they remain under-recognized. Pathologists play a key role in characterizing hematolymphoid proliferation after CAR T-cell therapy. This review presents clinical and pathologic findings of common hematolymphoid proliferation after CAR T-cell therapy, illustrated by selected cases. A review of the literature is presented in the context of individual cases, and our current understanding of the pathomechanism is discussed. Infused CAR T-cells undergo a series of four phases: distribution, expansion, contraction, and persistence. In the expansion phase, transient peripheral blood lymphocytosis occurs, reaching a peak two weeks post-infusion. Delayed contraction of CAR T-cells may give rise to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-like syndrome. Immune effector cell-associated enterocolitis presents in the persistence phase, about 3-6 months after infusion. Pathologic findings include a T-cell infiltrate in the intestinal mucosa and changes resembling graft versus host disease (GVHD). This entity requires differentiation from infections and from T-cell neoplasms, including those derived from CAR T-cells. Secondary myeloid malignancies follow the same pathways as therapy-related myeloid neoplasm but present with a shorter median latency. It is essential for pathologists to recognize post-CAR T-cell hematolymphoid proliferation to support clinical decision making in a high-risk patient population.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms26178388","authors":["Jiehao Zhou","Katalin Kelemen"],"tags":["Chimeric antigen receptor","Immunology","Medicine","Antigen","Myeloid"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms26178388","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410138188","name":"Optimizing Building Envelope Performance: Green Facade Materials and Their Effects on Peak Heating Load and Carbon Emissions in Pakistan","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT The building industry is a major contributor to environmental damage, responsible for 36% of global energy use and 39% of emissions, as reported by the 2018 Global Report from the United Nations and the International Energy Agency.

This study sought to investigate nurses’ perceptions of PCC within the Iranian healthcare system. Given the aging population in Iran, ongoing challenges in implementing PCC in clinical practice, and the limited qualitative research on this topic, understanding nurses’ perspectives is crucial for improving care delivery. METHODS: A descriptive qualitative content analysis study was employed, conducted in 2024 at public hospitals in northern Iran. Sixteen nurses from diverse clinical departments were recruited via purposive sampling. Data collection utilized semi-structured interviews, with subsequent analysis performed through conventional content analysis using MAXQDA 10 software, adhering to Graneheim and Lundman’s analytical framework. RESULTS: Analysis yielded one overarching theme, “Luxurious or Necessary,” comprising two categories: “Luxurious care” and “Enriched nursing care.” Eight subcategories emerged: being supportive, being heard, being compassionate, individualized care, care with competence, care with commitment, care with conscience, and care with respect. These were derived from 850 initial codes. CONCLUSION: Findings indicated a dichotomous perspective among nurses regarding PCC, with some considering it essential to quality care, while others perceived it as a superfluous formality. This divergence in viewpoints underscores the imperative for healthcare policymakers to formulate and implement strategies that enhance nurses’ comprehension and application of PCC principles, thereby fostering improved community health outcomes.

A549 cells were genetically modified to overexpress CRP. Effects on cell viability, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) were evaluated. The expression of proteins implicated in the p38 MAPK/mitochondrial apoptotic pathway was analyzed. The protective effects of the p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 and the mitochondrial protector cyclosporin A (CsA) were assessed. CRP levels were elevated in both MPP patients and MP-infected A549 cells compared to controls. Increased apoptosis and reduced cell viability were observed in MP-infected cells. CRP overexpression led to upregulation of proteins in the p38 MAPK/mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, increased cytoplasmic Cyt C, decreased Tom 20 and ΔΨm, and elevated ROS. Pretreatment with SB203580 or posttreatment with CsA reduced apoptosis and mitochondrial damage and enhanced cell survival. Increased CRP levels during MP infection promote lung epithelial cell death by activating the p38 MAPK/mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Targeting this pathway could offer therapeutic potential to reduce lung damage in MPP patients.IMPORTANCEThis study provides critical information in understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms for MP infections concerning CRP in mediating lung epithelial cell injury. This study outlines the significant increase in MP-infected patients and shows its direct involvement in cell apoptosis through the p38 MAPK/mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

The aim of this work was to assess the risks associated with the seasonal release of ESKAPE bacteria resistant to β-lactam antibiotics and the release of carbapenems and cephalosporins through HWW of Hospital Juárez de México. The 12-month seasonal variation in β-lactam-resistant bacterial populations was assessed in the HWW of five discharge points. Resistant isolates were identified by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) coupled with PCR assays to search for antimicrobial resistance genes, while β-lactamic antibiotics were detected using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Finally, a double-entry Vester matrix was constructed to classify the problems of HWW according to their degree of causality. Seasonal differences in bacterial loads were observed, with higher levels in warmer months. A wide variety of resistant pathogens were identified, including ESKAPE bacteria, as well as emerging bacteria carrying β-lactamase-encoding genes. The release of meropenem was detected most commonly, followed by cefepime and ceftazidime.

Using the Chinese mythological game Black Myth: Wukong as a case, this study examines how digital myth narratives relate to overseas audiences’ perceptions of, and travel intentions towards, Chinese tourist destinations in a cross-cultural context. Based on a large corpus of YouTube comments, we integrate topic modeling, sentiment analysis, and interpretable machine learning to identify semantic cues associated with travel intention. The results indicate that multidimensional perceptions elicited by digital myth narratives are associated with a gradual evolution of destination image from cognitive to affective and then intentional. Cultural symbol perception, cross-cultural understanding, aesthetic appreciation, and emotional resonance show positive relationships with travel intention and appear as important predictors in the model. SHAP analysis further suggests a nonlinear threshold effect, whereby the probability that a comment is classified as expressing travel intention increases when overall perception reaches a relatively high level. Embedding the cognition–emotion–intention path within a digital game context, this study provides empirical evidence on destination image and behavioral intention in digital narrative settings and offers implications for cross-cultural communication and sustainable tourism planning.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18010160","authors":["Yanping Xiao","Ruomei Tang","Zixi Guo","Xince Wang"],"tags":["Narrative","Destinations","Perception","Mythology","Tourism"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su18010160","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412077447","name":"The Energy Conversion and Utilization of Scientific Problems for Achieving “Dual Carbon” Goal","source":"openalex","abstract":"Developing a “clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient” modern energy system is a major national demand to promote the realization of the “dual carbon” goal.

Traditional methods of tracking PAIs, such as morphological identification and camera trapping, are limited in speed and scalability, posing challenges for comprehensive biodiversity monitoring. Recently, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a promising technique for detecting species interactions non‐destructively. This pilot study explores the application of eDNA metabarcoding to investigate frugivorous interactions involving 18 partially consumed and three intact fruits of each Carica papaya and Ananas comosus . Metabarcoding of mitochondrial COI gene fragments generated 796,234 paired‐end reads representing 117 ASVs spanning diverse taxonomic groups, including Metazoans, Protozoans, Algae, Fungi, and Bacteria. After filtering for animal taxa, 41 ASVs were retained, dominated by Arthropoda (~97%). Major frugivores included Drosophila , Zaprionus , and Bactrocera species. Additional detections included beetles, ants, parasitoid wasps, and vertebrates such as Acridotheres javanicus , Callosciurus erythraeus , and Bandicota indica . Moreover, consumed fruits showed high insect (~90%–95%) and mammal (~4%–5%) DNA, while intact fruits were dominated by rotifers (~75%–80%). Distinct communities were found between pineapple and papaya, with 15 and 11 unique ASVs, respectively, and only one ASV was unique to intact fruits. Alpha and beta diversity analyses confirmed the differences in community structure between fruit types. Despite the limited sample size, our findings demonstrate the potential of fruit‐surface eDNA to monitor frugivory and species interactions. Future studies should scale this approach across seasons and crop types to assess its potential in long‐term biodiversity and pest management monitoring.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.70196","authors":["Pritam Banerjee","Jyoti Prakash Maity","Nalonda Chatterjee","Sven Weber","Gobinda Dey","Raju Kumar Sharma","Chien‐Yen Chen"],"tags":["Frugivore","Biology","Biodiversity","Environmental DNA","Ecology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.70196","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4316923514","name":"Concept of sustainable development of metallurgy of Ukraine.

Human health and environmental impacts are anticipated from hazards associated with changes in temperature and precipitation regimes, and climate extremes. Increased natural hazards include storms and flooding, extreme heat, drought, and wildfires. Reduced food and water quality and quantity, reduced air quality, new geographic range of infectious diseases, and increased exposure to ultra-violet radiation are also predicted. In order to make a measurable contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions at point source fossil fuel and industrial process sites that contribute to climate change, estimates suggest that up to 3,000 dedicated large scale carbon capture and geological sequestration (CCS) projects will be necessary by 2050. Integrated projects include carbon dioxide capture; compression into a supercritical stream; transport, most often by pipeline; deep injection at wellheads; and sequestration in suitable saline aquifer geological formations, usually 800 metres or more below the earth’s surface. In implementing CCS as part of an overall climate change mitigation strategy, it is important to note that population health and environmental risks are associated with each of these value chain components of integrated projects. Based on an assessment of existing regulatory and non-regulatory guidance for risk assessment/risk management (RA/RM), an analysis of the application, assessment, and approval process for four large scale Canadian projects, and findings from a structured expert elicitation focused on hazard and risk issues in injection and storage and risk management of low probability high impact events, this research developed an Integrated Risk Management Framework (IRMF) for CCS in the Canadian context. The IRMF is a step-wise systematic process for RA/RM during the life of a project, including engagement with wide ranging government and non-government partners that would contribute to a determination of acceptable risk and risk control options. The execution of the IRMF is an intervention that could reduce local hazards and associated risks in terms of likelihood and consequence, as well as identify and document risk management that could underpin broad acceptance of CCS as a climate change mitigation technology. This would thereby also have an important part in protecting global population health and wellbeing in the long term. Indeed, diverse stakeholders could be unforgiving if hazard assessment and risk management in CCS is considered insufficient, leading to ‘pushback’ that could affect future implementation scenarios. On the other hand, RA/RM done right could favourably impact public perception of CCS, in turn instilling confidence, public acceptance, and ongoing support for the benefit of populations worldwide. This thesis is composed of an introduction to the research problem, including a population health conceptual framework for the IRMF, followed by five manuscripts, and concluding with a discussion about other barriers to CCS project development, and a risk management policy scenario for both the present time and during the 2017-2030 implementation period.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20381/ruor-20164","authors":["Patricia Larkin"],"tags":["Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Context (archaeology)","Risk management","Business","Risk analysis (engineering)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2017-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.20381/ruor-20164","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4389452244","name":"Clinical Manifestation of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Elderly Patients","source":"openalex","abstract":"Myocardial Infarction is one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity among the elderly patients.

Population size, GDP per capita, urbanization rate, industrial structure, energy consumption structure, cement consumption structure, and cement production were identified as positive contributors to carbon emissions. In contrast, energy intensity was found to have a mitigating effect. The prediction results show that the industry reached its carbon emissions peak at 70.29 million tCO2e in 2020.

Future trends in air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for China are of great concern to the community. A set of global scenarios regarding future socioeconomic and climate developments, combining shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) with climate forcing outcomes as described by the representative concentration pathways (RCPs), were created by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Chinese researchers have also developed various emission scenarios by considering detailed local environmental and climate policies. However, a comprehensive scenario set connecting SSP-RCP scenarios with local policies and representing dynamic emission changes under local policies is still missing. In this work, to fill this gap, we developed a dynamic projection model, the Dynamic Projection model for Emissions in China (DPEC), to explore China’s future anthropogenic emission pathways. The DPEC model is designed to integrate the energy system model, emission inventory model, dynamic projection model, and parameterized scheme of Chinese policies. The model contains two main modules, an energy-model-driven activity rate projection module and a sector-based emission projection module. The activity rate projection module provides the standardized and unified future energy scenarios after reorganizing and refining the outputs from the energy system model. Here we use a new China-focused version of the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM-China) to project future energy demand and supply in China under different SSP-RCP scenarios at the provincial level. The emission projection module links a bottom-up emission inventory model, the Multi-resolution Emission Inventory for China (MEIC), to GCAM-China, and accurately tracks the evolution of future combustion/production technologies and control measures under different environmental policies. We developed technology-based turnover models for several key emitting sectors (e.g., coal-fired power plants, key industries, and on-road transportation sectors), which can simulate the dynamic changes in the unit/vehicle fleet turnover process by tracking the lifespan of each unit/vehicle on an annual basis. With the integrated modelling framework, we connected five SSP scenarios (SSP1-5), five RCP scenarios (RCP 8.5, 7.0, 6.0, 4.5, and 2.6), and three pollution control scenarios (business as usual (BAU), enhanced control policy (ECP), and best health effect (BHE)) to produce six combined emission scenarios. With those scenarios, we presented a wide range of China's future emissions to 2050 under different development and policy pathways. We found that, with a combination of strong low-carbon policy and air pollution control policy (i.e., SSP1-26-BHE scenario), emissions of major air pollutants (i.e., SO2, NOx, PM2.5, and NMVOCs) in China will be reduced by 34–66 % in 2030 and 58–87 % in 2050 compared to 2015. End-of-pipe control measures are more effective for reducing air pollutant emissions before 2030, while low-carbon policy will play more important role for continuous emission reduction until 2050. On contrast, China's emissions will remain high level until 2050 under a reference scenario without active action (i.e., SSP3-70-BAU). Compared to similar scenarios set in the CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6), our estimates of emission ranges are much lower than the estimates from the CMIP6 in 2020/2030, but their emission ranges become similar in the year 2050.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-2019-1125","authors":["Dan Tong","Jing Cheng","Yang Liu","Sha Yu","Liu Yan","Chaopeng Hong","Yu Qin","Hongyan Zhao","Yixuan Zheng","Guannan Geng","Meng Li","Fei Liu","Yuxuan Zhang","Bo Zheng","Leon Clarke","Qiang Zhang"],"tags":["Representative Concentration Pathways","Greenhouse gas","Climate change","Emission inventory","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-01-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-2019-1125","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4393946193","name":"A 2023 Perspective: What Is the Value of Hybridization?","source":"openalex","abstract":"This report takes a wind developer's perspective and provides a summary of the current and future state of hybrid facilities, and ultimately seeks to answer the question: \"Are hybrid power plants a pivotal tool for meeting future energy and decarbonization targets?\" The intention is not to provide an in-depth system-level technical analysis of hybrid facilities, but to showcase a high-level overview of the hybrid facility ecosystem and its potential future directions.

The two primary factors hindering the high-quality development of China’s coal industry are safety and emissions. Methane and coal spontaneous combustion have long posed major safety risks. Competitive adsorption experiments with coal and rock samples exposed to single-component and multi-component flue gases revealed that a mixture of N 2 , CO 2 , SO 2 , and NO X is optimal for oxygen isolation, fire prevention, and gas displacement. Thermodynamic studies further identified the ideal fire prevention formula as 79% N 2 , 8%–20% CO 2 , 0.0006%–0.001% SO 2 , and 0.001%–0.0018% NO X . Molecular simulations and quantum chemical analyses showed that coal and rock exhibit stronger interactions with CO 2 than with N 2 , CH₄, or O 2 , enabling CO 2 to preferentially occupy adsorption sites and displace O 2 and CH₄. These findings explain the mechanisms behind oxygen isolation, fire prevention, and gas displacement and highlight the strong affinity of coal’s functional groups for CO 2 , which contributes to carbon sequestration. Adsorption experiments on over 280 coal and 130 rock samples from 11 provinces found that each ton of coal can sequester 7–11 kg of CO 2 , while each ton of mudstone adsorbs 6–8 kg. Coal-rock in goaf areas exhibits even greater sequestration capacity. Three key technological breakthroughs were made: (1) flue gas injection technology for fire prevention and gas displacement, (2) high-reliability multi-phase flue gas transport technology, and (3) a safety assurance and intelligent control system for gas injection. In 2023, these technologies were successfully applied in a National Energy Group project, reducing CO 2 concentration from 10% to 18% to below 0.01% in return air, achieving an annual sequestration capacity of 12,800 tons of CO 2 per unit.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40789-025-00857-3","authors":["Wenhao Deng","Sichen Liu","Xuefeng Wang","Chaoyu Hao","Yansheng Wang","Wenhao He","Zhixin Jin"],"tags":["Flue gas","Coal","Methane","Coal mining","Carbon sequestration"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40789-025-00857-3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7119110414","name":"Environmental management practices in the oil and gas industry moving beyond conventional perceptions of harm","source":"openalex","abstract":"Oil and gas operations pose environmental challenges in air, water, soil, and biodiversity.

Identifying the prevalence and types of IV administration errors and the drugs involved is crucial for implementing effective interventions to reduce such errors. AIM: This systematic review aimed to examine and synthesise the available articles on medication errors involving IV administration in hospitalised patients. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted using electronic databases, including PubMed, Ovid Medline, and CINAHL. The search was performed without time limitation up to July 2023. However, only articles published in English and human subjects were included. The quality of the studies was appraised using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale (NOS). This systematic review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023469352). RESULT: Database searches yielded 2177 articles; after duplicate removal, 1717 underwent title and abstract screening, and 23 were included after full-text review. The studies were from 12 countries, and the multicentre study included countries from Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Australia. The majority of the studies were conducted in either teaching hospitals (n = 11) or university-affiliated hospitals (n = 7), with most involving direct observation (n = 21). IV administration errors exhibit a broad prevalence range of 5.0%-62.9%, involving various types such as wrong diluent, dose, route, rate, technique, omission, and timing. Studies lack uniformity in reporting, with some not specifying prevalence. The highest prevalence of specific errors varies across settings. CONCLUSION: Our review highlights that IV medication error rates vary based on study design, setting, and population. Standardised definitions, reporting procedures, and reliable tracking methods are needed. Human factors, system issues, and environmental stressors influence medication errors. Future research must improve our understanding and address these factors to enhance patient safety and healthcare quality.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jep.70167","authors":["Sutha Rajakumar","Retha Rajah","Subramaniam Thanimalai","Fadzlin binti Mohd Mokhtar","Dinesh Sangarran Ramachandram"],"tags":["Medicine","Administration (probate law)","MEDLINE","Emergency medicine","Intensive care medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jep.70167","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412121527","name":"Sustainable Biomass‐Derived Single‐Atom Catalysts for Fenton‐Like Catalysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Single‐atom catalysis has generated significant interest in catalysis, particularly for environmental remediation.

Methods: Combined with 121 sequences of Scarabaeidae downloaded from GeneBank, a phylogenetic tree of the family was constructed using PhyloSuite v 1.2.3 software. Additionally, the codon composition and codon usage bias of the mitochondrial protein-coding genes of C. crataceus and 16 other Melolonthinae species were analyzed. Results: The results showed that the mitochondrial genome sequence of C. crataceus was 17,946 bp in length, with an A + T content of 71.82%, exhibiting a significant AT bias and a preference for ending with the base A/U, showed typical features of Scarabaeidae mitogenomes.

The kMC algorithm effectively simulates the carbonation process by capturing the interplay between CO 2 diffusion and relative humidity at the microscale, providing insights into macro trends that align with historical models. The study reveals that the maximum carbonation depth is achieved at relative humidity levels between 55 and 65%, where the balance between water and CO 2 diffusion is optimized. At lower relative humidity levels (<55%), a lower carbonation depth is observed. Conversely, at higher relative humidity levels (>65%), increased water content impedes CO 2 diffusion, resulting in reduced carbonation depth for cement paste. The kMC model demonstrates a parabolic relationship between relative humidity and carbonation depth. Time series analysis shows that Fick’s law is consistently followed, with carbonation depth following the relationship x = k√t at constant relative humidity. The kMC also breaks down the event cycle which shows that after an equilibrium (in terms of rate of events) is achieved between CO 2 and H 2 O at a relative humidity of 75%, a shift occurs in the dominance from reactive to transport processes at a relative humidity of 85%. These findings highlight the importance of humidity in influencing carbonation rates on the one hand and demonstrate the effectiveness of the kMC approach in simulating these complex interactions at the microscale on the other hand.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.4c03811","authors":["Ammar Mahmood","Frank Dehn","Peter Thissen"],"tags":["Carbonation","Monte Carlo method","Kinetic Monte Carlo","Humidity","Kinetic energy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.4c03811","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412102323","name":"Identification of suitable conventional cooling methods for direct aqueous carbonation of blast furnace slags and their mechanism","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract The iron and steel industries generate large amounts of unavoidable CO2 emissions as well as considerable quantities of slags.

Their compact design and rapid response to dynamic energy inputs make them ideal for integration with renewable energy sources. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of PEMEC technology, covering key internal components, system configurations, and efficiency improvements. The role of catalyst optimization, membrane advancements, and electrode architectures in enhancing performance is critically analyzed. Additionally, we examine state-of-the-art numerical modelling, comparing zero-dimensional to three-dimensional simulations and single-phase to two-phase flow dynamics. The impact of oxygen evolution and bubble dynamics on mass transport and performance is highlighted. Recent studies indicate that optimized electrode architectures can enhance mass transport efficiency by up to 20%, significantly improving PEMEC operation. Advancements in two-phase flow simulations are crucial for capturing multiphase transport effects, such as phase separation, electrolyte transport, and membrane hydration. However, challenges persist, including high catalyst costs, durability concerns, and scalable system designs. To address these, this review explores non-precious metal catalysts, nanostructured membranes, and machine-learning-assisted simulations, which have demonstrated cost reductions of up to 50% while maintaining electrochemical performance. Future research should integrate experimental validation with computational modelling to improve predictive accuracy and real-world performance.

This article reviews the principles of electrochemical in situ Raman spectroscopy and its latest developments in the study of CO2RR on Cu-based catalysts, focusing on its applications in monitoring the dynamic structural changes of the catalyst surface (such as Cu+, Cu0, and Cu2+ oxide species) and identifying key reaction intermediates (such as *CO, *OCCO(*O=C-C=O), *COOH, etc.). Numerous studies have shown that Cu-based oxide precursors undergo rapid reduction and surface reconstruction under CO2RR conditions, resulting in metallic Cu nanoclusters with unique crystal facets and particle size distributions. These oxide-derived active sites are considered crucial for achieving high selectivity toward C2+ products. Time-resolved Raman spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) techniques have further revealed the dynamic characteristics of local pH changes at the electrode/electrolyte interface and the adsorption behavior of intermediates, providing molecular-level insights into the mechanisms of selectivity control in CO2RR. However, technical challenges such as weak signal intensity, laser-induced damage, and background fluorescence interference, and opportunities such as coupling high-precision confocal Raman technology with in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy or synchrotron radiation Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in researching the mechanisms of CO2RR are also put forward.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/nano15191517","authors":["Jinchao Zhang","Honglin Gao","Honglin Gao","Zhen Wang","Haiyang Gao","Haiyang Gao","Li Che","Kunqi Xiao","Aiyi Dong"],"tags":["Nanoclusters","Raman spectroscopy","Catalysis","Materials science","Oxide"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/nano15191517","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4237733464","name":"Fiscal Policies for Achieving Finland’s Emission Neutrality Target","source":"openalex","abstract":"Finland has pledged to cut net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2035 and has sectoral targets for deploying electric vehicles, phasing out coal generation, and oil-based space heating.

This study investigates the indirect carbonation of electric arc furnace (EAF) steel slag and nickel mine tailing using two leaching agents, inorganic hydrochloric acid (HCl) and waste-derived acid mine drainage (AMD). The efficiency of metal leaching and CO 2 sequestration capacity were evaluated under varying process conditions, including temperature and carbonation reaction acceleration by ultrasound cavitation. Results demonstrated that AMD can be a viable alternative to HCl, potentially reducing chemical costs while aiding in mine waste remediation. However, the effectiveness of both leaching and carbonation processes is strongly influenced by the mineralogical composition of the feedstocks. For serpentine-based feedstock rich in magnesium (nickel tailing), using AMD as a leaching agent resulted in a sequestration capacity of up to 65.12 g-CO 2 /kg-Ni-Tailing versus 18.28 g-CO 2 /kg-Ni-Tailing with HCl at room temperature. Conversely, for EAF steel slag rich in calcium, the trend was opposite, with HCl achieving a sequestration capacity of up to 154.76 g-CO 2 /kg-EAF versus 63.58 g-CO 2 /kg-EAF with AMD. The study further explores the impact of operating temperature and ultrasound process intensification on reaction kinetics, concluding that CO 2 sequestration efficiency was improved either by increasing the temperature or employing ultrasound processing.

Porous activated carbons (ACs) derived from sustainable waste sources offer a promising route for cost-effective and eco-friendly carbon capture, thanks to their tunable surface chemistry and high surface areas. However, optimizing ACs for peak CO 2 uptake is often hindered by complex, resource-intensive experimental workflows and the scarcity of high-quality data. This study presents a machine learning-driven framework that combines a multi-headed one-dimensional convolutional neural network (MH1DCNN) with multi-fidelity Bayesian optimization (MFBO) to efficiently navigate large design spaces by balancing exploration of uncertain regions with exploitation of known high-performing candidates. The MH1DCNN captures nonlinear relationships between physicochemical properties and CO 2 uptake, serving as a deployable low-fidelity model. Using 841 literature-reported samples as high-cost, high-fidelity data and MH1DCNN-generated predictions as low-cost, low-fidelity evaluations, MFBO fuses these information sources through a probabilistic surrogate model, enabling rapid and cost-effective optimization. This approach reduces high-fidelity evaluation requirements by over 75% and identifies top-performing candidates using only 13 high-fidelity acquisitions. This scalable, data-driven strategy supports the development of closed-loop experiment-analysis-planning systems for future autonomous laboratories and accelerates sustainable materials discovery.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41524-025-01786-0","authors":["Faezeh Hajiali","Naoko Ellis","R.

However, designing CO2-WAG schemes is challenging; maximizing oil recovery, CO2 storage, and economic returns (net present value, NPV) simultaneously under a limited simulation budget leads to conflicting trade-offs. We propose a novel closed-loop multi-objective framework that integrates high-fidelity reservoir simulation with stacking surrogate modeling and active learning for multi-objective CO2-WAG optimization. A high-diversity stacking ensemble surrogate is constructed to approximate the reservoir simulator. It fuses six heterogeneous models (gradient boosting, Gaussian process regression, polynomial ridge regression, k-nearest neighbors, generalized additive model, and radial basis SVR) via a ridge-regression meta-learner, with original control variables included to improve robustness. This ensemble surrogate significantly reduces per-evaluation cost while maintaining accuracy across the parameter space. During optimization, an NSGA-II genetic algorithm searches for Pareto-optimal CO2-WAG designs by varying key control parameters (water and CO2 injection rates, slug length, and project duration). Crucially, a decision-space diversity-controlled active learning scheme (DCAF) iteratively refines the surrogate: it filters candidate designs by distance to existing samples and selects the most informative points for high-fidelity simulation. This closed-loop cycle of “surrogate prediction → high-fidelity correction → model update” improves surrogate fidelity and drives convergence toward the true Pareto front. We validate the framework of the SPE5 benchmark reservoir under CO2-WAG conditions. Results show that the integrated “stacking + NSGA-II + DCAF” approach closely recovers the true tri-objective Pareto front (oil recovery, CO2 storage, NPV) while greatly reducing the number of expensive simulator runs. The method’s novelty lies in combining diverse stacking ensembles, NSGA-II, and active learning into a unified CO2-EOR optimization workflow. It provides practical guidance for economically aware, low-carbon reservoir management, demonstrating a data-efficient paradigm for coordinated production, storage, and value optimization in CO2-WAG EOR.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18246575","authors":["Yutong Zhu","Hao Li","Yan Zheng","Liquan Cai","Chaobin Guo","Xinwen Wang"],"tags":["Benchmark (surveying)","Surrogate model","Mathematical optimization","Computer science","Gaussian process"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18246575","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411926839","name":"Controlling mechanisms of CO 2 sequestration efficiency in tight carbonate gas reservoirs: experimental insights into pore-throat constraints and mineralogical responses","source":"openalex","abstract":"The CO 2 sequestration efficiency and influencing factors of bound storage and dissolved-solidified storage in tight carbonate core samples are experimentally investigated.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5ra02362a","authors":["Jinsheng Zhao","Ziyi Zhang","Yuanxiang Xiao","Shan Hou","Li Pan","Sipeng Zhang"],"tags":["Carbonate","Carbon sequestration","Petroleum engineering","Tight gas","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5ra02362a","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7134269502","name":"The prevalence and clinical significance of clonal monocytosis","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT: The terms clonal monocytosis of undetermined significance (CMUS) and clonal cytopenia and monocytosis of undetermined significance (CCMUS) were introduced by the International Consensus Classification of Myeloid Neoplasms to describe cases of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and concurrent monocytosis that did not meet the diagnostic criteria of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. To date, their practical relevance as clinicopathological entities at a population level has not been assessed.

We find that CMUS with an absolute monocytosis and CCMUS are high-risk entities strongly associated with incident myeloid neoplasia (MN), cardiovascular disease, and renal disease. Noting the overall higher monocyte counts in men and the low rate of progression of DNMT3A-CMUS, we reveal that amending the definition of CMUS/CCMUS to incorporate sex-specific monocyte thresholds and the exclusion of isolated DNMT3A mutations from the definition significantly strengthens the association with incident MN. Finally, given their association with poor outcomes, we develop MoSAIC, a machine-learning classifier, to infer the presence of SRSF2 mutations (associated with high MN risk) among individuals with monocytosis, based on complete blood count indices alone. We corroborate our findings in an independent cohort of 625 328 Danish primary care patients.

The analysis delves into policy frameworks, technological advancements, and infrastructure adaptations to build a reliable green hydrogen supply chain for a scalable and bankable future.

However, the epidemiological significance of certain sequence types (STs) remains underappreciated. Among these, ST792—a lineage rarely documented in global surveillance studies—has recently emerged as a concerning threat in southern China. In this study, we characterized the epidemiological features and antimicrobial resistance mechanisms of CRKP ST792 isolates collected during a dissemination in a hospital in southern China. Methods Seven separate clinical isolates were collected from hospitalized patients between January 2021 and March 2022. Bacterial isolates were identified, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted using the VITEK-2 compact automated system. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on all seven isolates to confirm the presence of resistance genes. Additionally, a representative strain (G5) was selected for in-depth genomic characterization using long-read sequencing to analyze its genetic features and mobile genetic elements. Conjugation experiments were conducted to assess the transferability of the resistance plasmids. Results All isolated strains were identified as ST792-type CRKP carrying bla KPC − 2 through whole-genome sequencing. The strains harbored additional resistance genes including bla SHV − 148 , bla CTX − M−3 , bla TEM − 1B , qnrS1, OqxA and OqxB. Genomic characterization of representative strain G5 revealed a circular chromosome and three resistance plasmids.

METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The HARTc 2.0 study consists of 4 prospective phases to improve prehospital risk stratification for patients with suspected ACS. Phase 0 investigates technical operability of the Siemens Atellica VTLi POC hs-cTnI device. Phase 1 verifies preanalytical and analytical performance. Phase 2 evaluates clinical comparability between modified HEART score (with POC hs-cTnI) and standard HEART score. Phase 3 is a multicenter randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of prehospital risk stratification-into low, intermediate, or high-risk for ACS-on clinical decision-making, time-to-diagnosis, and cost-effectiveness. CONCLUSION: This trial evaluates modified HEART score with POC hs-cTnI testing, incorporating sex-specific cut-offs, to improve prehospital ACS risk stratification. Phases 0 and 1 confirm the reliability of capillary whole blood POC hs-cTnI. Furthermore, the trial is a randomized trial which evaluates prehospital risk stratification for ACS using a 0/2-hour POC hs-cTnI algorithm on clinical decision-making, time-to-diagnosis, as well as its cost-effectiveness. Improved prehospital risk stratification for ACS aims to enhance triage accuracy, time-to-diagnosis and time-to-treatment, thereby reducing unnecessary hospital admissions and improve resource allocation in prehospital and emergency care.

These standards are crucial for both the credibility and safe operations of projects, especially when storing carbon dioxide (CO2) underground. The standards help assess risks, evaluating resources, and making project information transparent. Such transparency transforms CCUS from a high-risk emerging sector into a standardized, trustworthy industry that attracts private capital. This paper compares CCUS standards with those used in the oil and gas industry. In the oil and gas (O&G) industry, standards such as SPE PRMS, United States (US) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules for reporting reserves as described in the 2009 Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting Final Rule, and Canada's NI 51-101 have historically helped build industry credibility and attract private funding. Recent updates, such as the SPE CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS) 2025 Edition and the UNFC Injection Guidelines in 2024, show ongoing progress toward standardization providing a solid framework for estimating resources, conducting third-party audits, and assessing risks. These processes are essential for building financial trust and increasing project access to financing. This paper examines four key areas where standards and guidelines influence stakeholder confidence in CCUS projects: technical uncertainty, regulatory uncertainty, risk assessments, and transparency and comparability. A detailed comparison of various guidelines and analysis of their interaction with carbon credit reporting standards is presented, highlighting their impact on project maturation and stakeholder credibility. Technical uncertainty is discussed, focusing on how classification systems within guidelines aid in understanding resource ranges, support teams during third-party evaluations or audits, and help assess critical Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects. Importance of the implementation of Measurement, Monitoring, and Verification (MMV) programs is reviewed, as despite higher costs, it can significantly improve investor confidence, project credibility, and long-term success. Standardization enhances transparency and comparability by ensuring consistent application across projects, thereby improving the understanding of risk by the financial and insurance sectors. Finally, the review discusses recent efforts to harmonize diverse carbon credit reporting standards principles for improved regulatory compliance and how these efforts have helped with cross-border projects, where facilities like storage may be in different jurisdictions from emission sources. Results demonstrate the interaction needed between various international guidelines for resources evaluation and carbon credit standards as a critical step to promote project finance. The comparison between standards and guidelines goes beyond the purely technical aspects and into the impact that these frameworks have on access to sustainable finance. This paper provides valuable insights for project developers, financial institutions, and regulators aiming to establish a harmonized, transparent, and systematic approach and workflows for CO2 project valuation and reporting.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/233344-ms","authors":["C.

In this study, we show that p37/UBXN2B, a cofactor of the p97 AAA ATPase, regulates spindle orientation in mammalian cells by limiting the levels of cortical NuMA. p37 controls cortical NuMA levels via the phosphatase PP1 and its regulatory subunit Repo-Man, but it acts independently of Gαi, the kinase Aurora A, and the phosphatase PP2A.

Of central importance are magnesium-based materials, such as magnesium carbonate hydrate (MCH), besides (amorphous) silica and several metallic species. On top of revenues from these, CO 2 emissions mitigation lowers the financial penalty from CO 2 emission rights under for example the European ETS. The ÅA process routes are stepwise processes based on extraction of magnesium (and other species) from serpentinite-containing mining tailings from Finland, followed by precipitation of metallic species, carbonation using a CO 2 containing gas-stream (no separate capture step needed) and recovery of solvent salt, respectively. Several separation steps involve (ion-selective) membrane electrodialysis. Besides ongoing mapping and characterisation of Finnish rock resources as tailings or other side-streams at metal and mineral mines in Finland, the projects address public acceptance, legislation and other non-technical issues related to large-scale roll-out of this type of CCU technology.

Despite its potential as a low-carbon cementitious material, vaterite’s synthesis and stabilization at high yield, particularly when using alkaline calcium solids and gas-phase carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) as reactants, remain a challenge. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate that isopropanol (IPA) enables the direct utilization of a dilute gas-phase CO 2 (∼5 vol %) stream to rapidly and controllably synthesize vaterite using technical hydrated lime (portlandite: Ca(OH) 2 ) as a Ca-source at ambient temperature and pressure. It appears that, in aqueous solution and in the presence of monohydric alcohols, a surface tension less than 30 mN/m and a viscosity greater than 2 mPa·s promote the selective precipitation of vaterite. But, this suggestion was unfounded as these solution properties alone do not explain the exceptional vaterite selectivity (>80 mass %) that was achieved only in IPA-water mixtures.

While integrating carbon capture and storage (CCS) is essential to reduce the CO2 emissions from CTL, the high CO2 abatement cost remains one major barrier to its large-scale implementation. Carbon pricing could improve the cost-effectiveness and competitiveness of CTL-CCS. The impacts of the upstream carbon tax and the downstream carbon price are discussed, considering two indirect coal liquefaction routes: a once-through synthesis process with electricity generation from unreacted syngas and a process with recycling unreacted syngas. The financial performance, with or without CCS, was evaluated using process simulation in Aspen Plus 11.1 and a cost estimation model. First, the product cost of recycling synthesis is consistently lower than of once-through synthesis, indicating better economic efficiency. Second, adopting CCS without a carbon price significantly undermines economic performance. To keep the product cost increase below 10%, the upstream carbon tax and the downstream carbon price should be less than 100 and 120 RMB/tCO2, respectively. Third, the upstream carbon tax can quickly increase product costs and reduces NPV and IRR, but fails to incentivize actual emissions reduction. Fourth, the downstream carbon price can effectively drive actual emissions reduction, particularly at a higher carbon price. Finally, without a sufficiently high carbon price, enterprises lack necessary incentive to implement CCS. When the carbon price reaches 196 RMB/tCO2 (approximately 30 USD/tCO2), CCS becomes a cost-effective option for the CTL process.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr13123960","authors":["Bing Han","Li Zhou","Maosheng Duan"],"tags":["Carbon price","Upstream (networking)","Carbon tax","Downstream (manufacturing)","Natural resource economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr13123960","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4293392882","name":"Direct air capture of CO2 in the Republic of Ireland.

This literature review provides background on the energy demand and the emissions related to the consumption across the country. The study highlights the methods to remove permanently the CO2 from the atmosphere and its uses for sectors that find difficulties to decarbonise. The Republic of Ireland set an ambitious plan to finish its dependence on fossil fuels. Yet, its emissions will remain constant regardless of the measures taken. Thus, there is a strong reliance on fossil fuels from specific sectors that will keep polluting in the near future. Certain countries and business are funding projects to remove the CO2 from the atmosphere. Meanwhile, the Republic of Ireland is putting aside these alternatives. The time scheduled to switch towards a free carbon economy is tight. Hence, could the Republic of Ireland meet its climate goals without DAC? Overall, we conclude that there are numerous gaps to fill only with renewables and ignoring alternatives such as DAC can be counterproductive. Therefore, the information provided aims to assess the current state of the technology, as well as show the benefits of investing in DAC.

To address this gap, we analyzed mitochondrial genomes from 20 species spanning a broad taxonomic spectrum of the phylum Gastrotricha. Our findings, supported by phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial datasets, reveal two distinct evolutionary patterns: one lineage displays remarkable conservation in genome structure, while the other exhibits variability in gene content, arrangement, strand polarity, and repeat abundance. These contrasting patterns appear to be related to differences in reproductive strategies (hermaphroditism vs. parthenogenesis) and ecological habitats (marine vs. freshwater). While these associations are intriguing, further data are needed to understand the underlying processes.

The energy sectors of several countries still employ fossil fuels for power production and there is a concern of associated emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). On the other hand, environmental regulations are becoming more stringent, and resultant emissions need to be mitigated. Therefore, optimal energy policies considering economic resources and environmentally friendly pathways for electricity generation are essential. The objective of this paper is to develop a comprehensive model to optimize the power sector. For this purpose, a multi-period mixed integer programming (MPMIP) model was developed in a General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) to minimize the cost of electricity and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Various CO2 mitigation strategies such as fuel balancing and carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) were employed. The model was tested on a case study from Pakistan for a period of 13 years from 2018 to 2030. All types of power plants were considered that are available and to be installed from 2018 to 2030. Moreover, capacity expansion was also considered where needed. Fuel balancing was found to be the most suitable and promising option for CO2 mitigation as up to 40% CO2 mitigation can be achieved by the year 2030 starting from 4% in 2018 for all scenarios without increase in the cost of electricity (COE). CO2 mitigation higher than 40% by the year 2030 can also be realized but the number of new proposed power plants was much higher beyond this target, which resulted in increased COE. Implementation of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) on new power plants also reduced the CO2 emissions considerably with an increase in COE of up to 15%.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en13174571","authors":["Adeel Arif","Muhammad Rizwan","Ali Elkamel","Luqman Hakeem","Muhammad Zaman"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Electricity generation","Electricity","Fossil fuel","Environmental economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-09-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en13174571","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4416673705","name":"Photovoltaic Hydrogen Power-Coupled Polygeneration System for Green Data Center: Energy, Economic, and Environmental Analysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The rapid growth of data centers has sharply increased power consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, making improved energy efficiency and renewable energy integration urgent priorities for their sustainable development. This study proposes an integrated energy system for powering and cooling data centers, combining photovoltaic (PV) modules, a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, a PEM fuel cell (PEMFC), and an absorption chiller. When solar energy is available, the PV is first supplied to power the data center, and the surplus is directed to the PEM electrolyzer for hydrogen production via water electrolysis. The stored hydrogen is later converted back into electricity through the PEMFC during peak-price periods in the nighttime or when solar irradiance is insufficient. Waste heat from the electrolyzer and PEMFC is used to drive the absorption chiller for data center cooling and waste heat recovery, while recovered heat from the data center is utilized for domestic hot water and space heating. A comprehensive exergy analysis is conducted to assess the thermodynamic performance of the proposed polygeneration system, alongside an evaluation of its economic and environmental benefits under varying PV participation levels. Comparative results show that when PV generation meets 40% of the annual power demand in the data center, annual operating costs can be reduced by approximately $238,000 and CO 2 emissions by 2,940 tons compared with a conventional grid-supplied configuration. Additionally, the integrated system achieves an average power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.25 and a maximum exergy efficiency of 28.5% during the heating season, highlighting its strong potential to enhance energy efficiency and mitigate environmental impacts, particularly in regions with moderate solar radiation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c08008","authors":["Zerui Chen","Xin Wu","Zhukui Tan","Houpeng Hu","Jian Xiao"],"tags":["Photovoltaic system","Exergy","Absorption refrigerator","Renewable energy","Waste heat"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c08008","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7169862552","name":"Prognostic Utility of the Total Body Muscle Mass in Heart Failure: Insights From the JEDI ‐ AHF Registry","source":"openalex","abstract":"AIM: Quantifying skeletal muscle mass is essential for patients with heart failure; however, common modalities, such as bioelectrical impedance analysis, can be distorted by fluid retention. The total body muscle mass (TBMM), a creatinine-cystatin C-derived marker, has been proposed as a practical blood-based surrogate of muscle mass; however, its relationship with muscle mass and its prognostic value in acute heart failure remain uncertain. Therefore, we aimed to assess whether TBMM is associated with skeletal muscle mass indices in heart failure and postdischarge all-cause mortality in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure. METHODS: This single-center retrospective study included patients hospitalized for acute heart failure at Juntendo University Hospital (January 2015-December 2021). TBMM was calculated from body weight, serum creatinine, and cystatin C, and classified using prespecified sex-specific cut-offs (men, < 38.846; women, < 26.476). RESULTS: Among the 550 patients, 271 had low TBMM. Over a median follow-up of 2.6 years, 134 deaths occurred (low-TBMM, 79; high-TBMM, 55). Patients with low TBMM showed significantly lower survival and a higher risk of postdischarge mortality after adjustment. Findings were consistent across the left ventricular ejection fraction strata (< 50% and ≥ 50%). TBMM correlated strongly with appendicular skeletal muscle mass index, estimated using both anthropometric and biomarker-based models. CONCLUSIONS: In patients hospitalized for acute heart failure, TBMM was strongly correlated with estimated muscle mass and independently associated with postdischarge all-cause mortality. Therefore, TBMM may complement routine risk stratification and help identify patients with heightened vulnerability related to muscle impairment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/ggi.70680","authors":["Yoshiaki Ikeda","Taisuke Nakade","Yuya Matsue","Yudai Fujimoto","Y Nakamura","Yuka Akama","Daichi Maeda","Tsutomu Sunayama","Taishi Dotare","Shoichiro Yatsu","Sayaki Ishiwata","Shoko Suda","T Kato","Masaru Hiki","Takatoshi Kasai","Tohru Minamino"],"tags":["Medicine","Bioelectrical impedance analysis","Heart failure","Internal medicine","Cardiology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/ggi.70680","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4414007904","name":"Cover Feature: Ambient CO 2 Hydrogenation to Formate Over NiPd Catalyst (ChemCatChem 17/2025)","source":"openalex","abstract":"The Cover Feature highlights a two-step integrated strategy for direct air capture (DAC) and subsequent conversion of CO2 into formate by using a bimetallic Ni9Pd1 catalytic system.

It analyzes the provisions of Article 180 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses (CUAO), which regulates sanctions for this offense, as well as their effectiveness in preventing such actions. The legal nature of the offense is examined, its place in the system of administrative law is identified, and practical issues of qualification and law enforcement are considered. The article reveals the specific features of the offense, including its objective and subjective elements, and identifies the direct object of the infringement. It analyzes judicial practice regarding the application of Article 180 of the CUAO, particularly issues related to proving the guilt of offenders and establishing causal links between the perpetrator’s actions and the minor’s state of intoxication. A comparative analysis of the provisions of Article 180 of the CUAO and Article 304 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (CCU) is carried out, the latter of which provides for criminal liability for involving minors in unlawful activities, including drunkenness. Criteria are determined for distinguishing between administrative and criminal liability in this sphere, and law enforcement challenges arising from the absence of clear legislative mechanisms for differentiating the elements of these offenses are characterized. Special attention is given to examining the effectiveness of administrative sanctions for inducing minors to alcoholic intoxication, their preventive impact, and their correspondence to the public danger of the act.

While 95% of patients were appropriately prescribed high-intensity statins at discharge, only 47% received repeat lipid profiling within 4-6 weeks. Overall, 43% of patients achieved the target LDL-C of <1.4 mmol/L. Mean LDL at follow-up was 1.79 mmol/L (median 1.6). Conclusion: Although high-intensity statin prescription at discharge was excellent, follow-up monitoring and achievement of lipid targets remained suboptimal. These findings highlight the need for systematic approaches to lipid management after ACS, including earlier escalation to combination therapy (ezetimibe, bempedoic acid, or PCSK9 inhibitors) and improved monitoring protocols. The development of evidence-based lipid pathways and clinician education initiatives are underway to address these gaps, particularly in light of the updated 2025 ESC guidelines.","url":"https://doi.org/10.38192/1.10.1.ac25.ab.034","authors":["P P Aung","A Gupta","H Aung","P Maung"],"tags":["Medicine","Acute coronary syndrome","Observational study","Medical prescription","Statin"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.38192/1.10.1.ac25.ab.034","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405456290","name":"Revolutionizing photothermal CO₂ hydrogenation with ceria-based catalysts","source":"openalex","abstract":"In the context of achieving carbon neutrality, CO2 catalytic conversion technologies are effective in reducing atmospheric CO2 concentrations while simultaneously producing renewable products. This approach is seen as a viable method for constructing a new carbon cycle, thereby effectively addressing the issue of global warming. Photothermal CO2 conversion has recently emerged as a promising research focus due to its high energy utilization efficiency, superior CO2 conversion, excellent product selectivity, mild operating conditions, low energy consumption and minimal operating costs. Cerium oxide (CeO2) has been widely used in photothermal catalysis due to its unique chemical properties, particularly when used as a support material with supported metals, creating distinctive interfacial sites for catalytic reactions. As an emerging star support in photothermal CO2 conversion, its contributions are equally significant and should not be overlooked. However, to our knowledge, there has been no comprehensive review of CeO2 applications in catalytic hydrogenation of CO2. In this paper, we summarize and discuss CeO2-based materials for photothermal CO2 conversion to value-added products. This research particularly focuses on the synthesis methods of CeO2-supported catalysts, the history of CeO2 in photothermal catalysis, types of photothermal catalytic reactors, unique characterization methods for the photothermal catalysts and the photothermal CO2 hydrogenation reactions by CeO2-based catalysts.

This stress can impact their job satisfaction, mental health, and overall quality of life. Emotional intelligence has been identified as a crucial factor that can mitigate workplace stress and enhance job satisfaction. Moreover, work-life balance is increasingly recognized as a critical factor influencing job satisfaction in the nursing profession. AIM: Our study aims at understanding the mediating effect of work-life balance between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction in Lebanese nurses working in the Intensive Care Unit. STUDY DESIGN: This study has a cross-sectional design. METHODS: Nurses working in intensive care units of one hospital (n = 100) were asked to fill an online questionnaire which included the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, Work-Life Balance Self-Assessment Scale, and Job Satisfaction Scale. RESULTS: Work Interference with Personal Life and Personal Life Interference with Work acted as significant mediators between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction. Specifically, the direct role of emotional intelligence on job satisfaction was found to be significant, with work interference with personal life (β = .02, SE = .01, p = .001) and personal life interference with work (β = .02, SE = .01, p = .002) showing significant indirect roles. Higher emotional intelligence was directly and significantly associated with more job satisfaction (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS: The study underscores the potential benefits of emotional intelligence training and work-life balance promotion in enhancing nurses' job satisfaction. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Pending future longitudinal studies, findings cautiously imply that targeting work-life balance could help foster the positive connection between emotional intelligence and Job Satisfaction among nurses. Accordingly, healthcare administrators should prioritize policies that promote flexible scheduling, sufficient staffing levels, and mental health resources, which are essential for maintaining a balance between professional obligations Job Satisfaction and personal life.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/nicc.13239","authors":["Ali Hemade","Mohamad Baqer Khashab","Charbel Houwayek","Souheil Hallit","Feten Fekih‐Romdhane","Mirna Fawaz"],"tags":["Job satisfaction","Work–life balance","Emotional intelligence","Psychology","Nursing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/nicc.13239","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405200034","name":"Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 Catalyst Promoted with Amorphous MgO for Enhanced CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract CO2 hydrogenation to methanol not only reduces CO2 emissions but also produces a high‐quality energy source that is easy to store and transport.

Since hydrogen is a secondary energy carrier, meaning it must be manufactured, not all hydrogen is made equal. Renewable hydrogen or RFNBOs (Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origins) have been given high priority by the EU in their strategy to establish a market for hydrogen. The EU’s creation of RFNBO usage objectives is a step towards establishing a demand-side market. One such goal is to bring into the EU up to 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen. However, it is doubtful that this large amount can be reached given the strict criteria for what qualifies as renewable hydrogen and, thus, as RFNBO. This article analyses key provisions of the EU framework that affect the EU’s aim to produce and import up to 20 million tonnes of hydrogen overall. It concludes the EU’s emphasis on RFNBOs rather than a broader range of hydrogen pathways undermines the goal of rapidly developing a hydrogen market. Using turquoise hydrogen as a case study, the article shows how the EU’s decarbonization efforts would be aided, trade would be enabled, and fragmentation would be decreased if targets were expanded to encompass additional forms of hydrogen.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jwelb/jwae007","authors":["Kim Talus","Jaqueline Pinto","Francisca Gallegos"],"tags":["Hydrogen","Renewable energy","European union","Hydrogen economy","Hydrogen fuel"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jwelb/jwae007","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4289527928","name":"Nature: A Post-Pandemic Prescription","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mnl.2022.06.003","authors":["Brian Weirich","Carey Ramirez"],"tags":["Burnout","Distress","Anxiety","Pandemic","Workforce"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-08-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mnl.2022.06.003","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4390114393","name":"Bio‐Inspired Functional Materials for Environmental Applications","source":"openalex","abstract":"With the global population expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, there is an urgent need for advanced materials that can address existing and developing environmental issues.

Catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy in pheochromocytoma (CICMP)is a severe complication with high morbidity and mortality, affecting 11% ofpatients. Here, we present two cases of CICMP managed successfully in theperioperative period. Case 1:A 44-year-old male with hypertension presented with one month of right-sidedabdominal fullness and SOB. Imaging showed bilateral heterogenous adrenalmasses (R>L, up to 15 cm) compressing the IVC. Laboratory tests revealed calcium12.5 mg/dL, iPTH 99.7 pg/mL, free normetanephrine 441 pg/mL, and 24-hoururine-free metanephrines 21,000. Thyroid biopsy confirmed medullary thyroidcarcinoma, and genetic testing revealed a RET mutation, consistent with MEN2A.Echocardiogram done for SOB and elevated troponin (0.03) showed LVEF 40%.The patient was admitted to the CCU for invasive hemodynamic monitoring,volume resuscitation, and phenoxybenzamine initiation. He underwent successfulbilateral adrenalectomy without postoperative complications. Case 2:A 56-year-old male with hypertension presented with headache, palpitations, andlabile blood pressure. Laboratory tests showed free metanephrines 950 pg/mL,free normetanephrines 875 pg/mL, and total metanephrines 1825 pg/mL. CTrevealed a 9.3 cm left suprarenal mass that was heterogeneous and solid/cystic.Echocardiogram done for elevated troponin (0.14) confirmed CICMP with LVEF40%. He was admitted to the CCU for invasive hemodynamic monitoring, fluidresuscitation, and alpha blockade. After left adrenalectomy, he developed acute hypoxic respiratory failure from decompensated heart failure but was dischargedon carvedilol and sacubitril/valsartan. Discussion: CICMP occurs due to chronic catecholamine elevation damaging myocardial tissuevia raised intracellular calcium, oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrialdysfunction. Concurrent hypotension and volume depletion complicatemanagement, necessitating invasive hemodynamic monitoring. In both cases,tumor resection improved symptoms. Conclusion: CICMP is a life-threatening condition associated with shock, arrhythmias, andrenal failure. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for successful outcomes.

Using high-fidelity computational modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics 6.1, five distinct channel width configurations were analyzed, with a baseline model validated against experimental data. The simulations showed that modifying the channel geometry, particularly in Scenario 2, significantly improved hydrogen production rates by 6.8% to 29% compared to a uniform channel design, with the effect becoming more pronounced at higher voltages. The performance enhancement was found to be primarily due to improved fluid velocity regulation, which increased reactant residence time and enhanced mass transport, rather than a significant thermal effect, as temperature distribution remained largely uniform across the cell. Additionally, the inclusion of a dedicated heat transfer channel was shown to improve current density and overall efficiency, particularly at lower voltages. While a small increase in voltage raised internal cell pressure, the variable-width designs, especially those with widening channels, led to greater hydrogen output, albeit with a corresponding increase in system energy consumption due to higher pressure. Overall, the findings demonstrate that strategically designed variable-width channels offer a promising approach to optimizing SOEC performance for industrial-scale hydrogen production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr13113472","authors":["Mahmoud Makki Abadi","Udayabhaskararao Thumu","Mohammad Mehdi Rashidi","Payam Mohammadi Dashtaki"],"tags":["Multiphysics","Materials science","Hydrogen production","Electrolysis","Hydrogen"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr13113472","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7127066827","name":"Внутренние дела и юстиция (лето 2025 г.)","source":"openalex","abstract":"СОДЕРЖАНИЕ Стр","url":"https://doi.org/10.15211/eufacts320253942","authors":["Olga Potemkina"],"tags":["Product (mathematics)","Identification (biology)","Work (physics)","Computer science","Set (abstract data type)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.15211/eufacts320253942","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4385317184","name":"Domestic and International Drivers and Challenges for the Energy Transformation in the MENA Region","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract The chapter examines the domestic and international drivers and obstacles for the transformation in the MENA region.

The sewage sludge, a result of wastewater treatment, could be used as a material for plant nutrient supply and/or soil-improving products. The city of Nyíregyháza, Hungary, with 120,000 citizens, has a well-planned water treatment plant operated by Nyírségvíz Ltd., which, in cooperation with the Research Institute of Nyíregyháza, developed a municipal sewage sludge compost (SSC). The closed loop of sewage water treatment and the agricultural utilization of its by-product has been developed and managed. The compost product called Nyírkomposzt was planned for acidic sandy soils. Beyond the agronomic benefits, the sustainable and environmentally sound utilization of SSC reduces sewage sludge disposal. This active involvement of a water utility company demonstrates the potential of cross-sectoral cooperation in solving environmental problems. The quality of the compost fits the Hungarian legislation. To study the effects of 0, 9, 18, and 27 t ha−1 doses of compost on acidic sandy soil, a long-term small plot experiment was started in 2003. The cumulative effects of the regular (every third year, last treatment before sampling in 2021) application of the SSC showed positive changes in basic soil properties, depending on the doses used. Increasing values were found in the case of pH from 4.5 to 6, plant available P2O5 from 240 to 690 ppm, and plant available K2O from 180 to 200 ppm. The plant-available zinc and copper content also increased. Soil organic matter and total N content stabilized at around 0.9% and 0.08%, respectively. The grain yields of winter rye also increased in both investigated years. The yields of 18 t ha−1 treatment were about two times higher compared to the control, but only in 2022 was the difference significant. Our findings underscore the potential of well-planned SSC applications to improve the fertility of ploughed, acidic sandy soil, taking into account the theory of the circular economy by utilizing wastes and decreasing landfilling.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/w17132026","authors":["Csilla Almási","Zoltán Veres","Ibolya Demeter","Viktória Orosz","Tímea Tóth","Mostafa Mansour","István Henzsel","Zsolt Bogdányi","Tamás Szegi","Marianna Makádi"],"tags":["Compost","Amendment","Sewage sludge","Environmental science","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/w17132026","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4413941076","name":"Thiophene-imidazoline derivatives with varying chain lengths modified by organic acids as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in the CO 2 -saturated oilfield produced water","source":"openalex","abstract":", it can attain an inhibition efficiency of 87.55%.

One of the reasons is that the carbon chain length affects the hydrophobicity of the corrosion inhibitors. Through quantum chemical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations, it has been firmly established that, in comparison with S4-C7, S4-C11 exhibits a more remarkable electron-donating ability.

Energetic efficiency reaches 48.06 % using the already existing commercial electrolyte supported cell in a SOEC electrolyser, but it could increase to 65.74 % if cathode supported cell was considered.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2024.01.262","authors":["Jean-Hugues Boilley","Anass Berrady","Hakimi Bin Shahrel","Emine Yağız Gürbüz","Fausto Gallucci"],"tags":["Jet fuel","Environmental science","Process engineering","Kerosene","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2024.01.262","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403930650","name":"Epileptic encephalopathy linked to a DALRD3 missense variant that impairs tRNA modification","source":"openalex","abstract":"Epileptic encephalopathies are severe epilepsy syndromes characterized by early onset and progressive cerebral dysfunction. A nonsense variant in the DALR anticodon binding domain containing 3 (DALRD3) gene has been implicated in epileptic encephalopathy, but no other disease-associated variants in DALRD3 have been described. In human cells, the DALRD3 protein forms a complex with the METTL2 methyltransferase to generate the 3-methylcytosine (m3C) modification in specific arginine tRNAs. Here, we identify an individual with a homozygous missense variant in DALRD3 who displays developmental delay, cognitive deficiencies, and multifocal epilepsy. The missense variant substitutes an arginine residue to cysteine (R517C) within the DALR domain of the DALRD3 protein that is required for binding tRNAs. Cells derived from the individual homozygous for the DALRD3-R517C variant exhibit reduced levels of m3C modification in arginine tRNAs, indicating that the R517C variant impairs DALRD3 function. Notably, the DALRD3-R517C protein displays reduced association with METTL2 and loss of interaction with substrate tRNAs. Our results uncover another loss-of-function variant in DALRD3 linked to epileptic encephalopathy disorders. Importantly, these findings underscore DALRD3-dependent tRNA modification as a key contributor to proper brain development and function.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.xhgg.2024.100377","authors":["Kejia Zhang","Katharina Löhner","Henny H.

In present days, the great trend is based on two premises: a) Anthropogenic activity causes excessive emissions of greenhouse gases, increasing the concentration of CO2 from 250 ppm at the beginning of the first industrial revolution to 425 ppm today. The exaggerated levels of carbon dioxide, methane, and others could not be sustained by the planet. Thus, social pressures led by environmentalists pose obstacles to using fossil fuels for electricity generation, heating, industrial production, transport (people and goods), use of forests for agricultural and livestock. b) However, human pressure for better living conditions opposes the barriers that try to prevent the increase in the use of energy from fossil fuels as a driver of wealth generation. The proposed and consensual path is the rapid replacement of fossil energies by renewable energies. This responsibility falls mainly on wind and solar energy. Biofuels are limited by the need to use the land for food, hydroelec-tricity is already almost fully used, and nuclear power generates very radio-active wastes. Wind and solar energy have a generation of 30% and 20%-25% of its installed power, while nuclear has 90%, coal 75%-80%, gas and oil 65%-70%, and hydro 45%-6o%. The difficulty of storing them (Solar and Eolic) in their primary state, the instability of generation, and the quality of the energy generated are strong obstacles for the use of these energies. These difficult renewable energies are needed to quickly meet aspirations for comfort and well-being, increasing the pressure on fossil energies in short-term actions in poor countries. This article explores the need to satisfy the desires of high percentages of populations who have the right to improve their living conditions and who, therefore, will exert pressure to continue using fossil energy sources, but the zero-carbon target must continue.

Thus, this paper examined the decoupling status and driving factors of CO₂ emissions in Indonesia from 2001 to 2023 by developing a comprehensive framework that integrates the Tapio decoupling model with the LMDI decomposition technique. Strong decoupling occurred only in a few periods (e.g., 2008–2009, 2015–2016, 2017–2018), while most years exhibited either relative decoupling or no decoupling. Further analysis reveals that electricity output is the primary driver of carbon emission growth, while improvements in energy intensity are the most significant factor in reducing emissions. The contributions of power generation structure and energy mix to emission mitigation remain relatively modest, while the influence of emission factors is negligible. These findings underscore the urgent need for Indonesia to improve energy efficiency, accelerate renewable energy deployment, and establish a more stable and systematic decarbonization framework for its power sector.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44274-025-00426-0","authors":["Chen Chen","Mohammad Nizamuddin Inamdar","Aiman Al-Odaini"],"tags":["Decoupling (probability)","Electricity","Renewable energy","Energy mix","Electricity generation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44274-025-00426-0","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.452Z"},{"id":"oa:W7140619702","name":"Under Pressure: The Dividing Widom Zone and Possible Consequences on Dry scCO2–Rock Interaction Due to Varying Dipole Moment","source":"openalex","abstract":"Recent years have witnessed growing interest in CO2 and in the possibility of injecting it into the Earth’s crust for multiple purposes. In addition to the fact that pure CO2 is already present in some geological formations, the most debated is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), which aims to capture and trap CO2 through water-assisted reactions that promote its precipitation; moreover, proposed technological improvements to geothermal plants foresee the use of pure CO2 as a working fluid and energy carrier for electricity generation in terms of MWh. These applications require detailed knowledge and a deep understanding of CO2 behaviour under non-standard conditions. Upon entering the Earth’s crust, CO2 is subjected to progressively increasing temperature and pressure. The resulting effects are not limited to a reduction in intermolecular distance; they also include changes in molecular geometry, as well as in chemical and thermodynamic behaviour. For instance, a dipole moment may arise even in the gaseous phase as intermolecular distances decrease. Moreover, CO2 typically reaches supercritical conditions at depths of approximately 700 m. It is therefore necessary to account for both phase transitions and variations in molecular structure, as these can significantly influence the surrounding environment and the stoichiometric relationships with other substances. In this work, a steady-state column was simulated, representing CO2 injection down to a depth of 5 km, assuming an average geothermal gradient of 30 °C/km and nine different initial pressures, so nine different steady state columns. The results highlight the presence of a wedge-shaped region acting as a barrier for stepwise-equilibrated CO2: the computed CO2 column profiles avoid this region. This wedge includes part of the liquid–gas boundary under subcritical conditions, as well as the Widom lines above the critical point. It effectively separates two supercritical regimes, namely gas-like and liquid-like domains. In this context, the present work provides insights into the Widom region—possibly extending into subcritical conditions—and into these two distinct regimes. This may have implications for the solvent capacity of CO2 for ionic species. Ultimately, the initial pressure appears to determine the behaviour of CO2 at depth.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/geosciences16040137","authors":["M.

Financial constraints, lack of investment, and inadequate policy frameworks hinder the widespread adoption of modern energy solutions. This paper explores the role of financial inclusion strategies, driven by technology and policy interventions, in improving energy access for marginalized populations. By integrating digital financial services, decentralized energy systems, and innovative policy measures, this study proposes a comprehensive framework to bridge the energy gap. The proposed framework focuses on leveraging financial technology (FinTech), mobile banking, and blockchain-based microfinancing to enhance accessibility to clean energy solutions. Digital payment platforms and mobile-based credit scoring models facilitate microloans for renewable energy adoption, empowering low-income households and small enterprises. Blockchain technology ensures transparency, security, and accountability in financial transactions, reducing the risks of fraud and inefficiencies in energy financing. Policy interventions play a crucial role in fostering financial inclusion and energy accessibility. Targeted subsidies, regulatory reforms, and public-private partnerships are essential for creating an enabling environment. Governments and financial institutions must collaborate to design policies that incentivize investment in decentralized energy projects, such as mini-grids and off-grid solar solutions. Additionally, carbon credit markets and green bonds can provide sustainable financing mechanisms for long-term energy development. A case study analysis highlights successful implementations of technology-driven financial inclusion models in regions with limited energy access. Results demonstrate that integrating mobile financial services and decentralized energy solutions leads to increased energy affordability, economic empowerment, and improved quality of life. The findings underscore the need for a multi-stakeholder approach, combining technological innovation, policy support, and community engagement to drive sustainable energy inclusion. This study contributes to the discourse on financial inclusion and energy sustainability by proposing a data-driven and policy-oriented approach.

feasibility of laser fusion in laboratory settings, marking a critical milestone.The next challenge lies in developing cost-effective systems to produce electricity, requiring advanced target designs compatible with production scalability, efficient laser operations, and energy conversion systems.The RISE Hub is exploring two innovative concepts: a short-pulse, high-energy laser driving a novel target and a high-energy, high-power two-beam excimer laser system.For the excimer laser-driven approach, the team is designing capsules optimized for asymmetric pole-driven configurations while achieving symmetric implosions through novel spatial laser profiling.Integrated capsule and laser design processes are supported by physicsbased modeling to establish experimental baselines.This presentation provides an update on the progress and status of these efforts, focusing on capsule design innovations and their role in advancing inertial fusion energy (IFE)

code-based schemes that rely on block codes with fixed dimensions and limited error-correction capability, our construction offers both stronger cryptographic security and greater flexibility.It supports arbitrary plaintext lengths with linear-time decryption and uniform per-bit computational cost, enabling seamless scalability to long messages.Security is reinforced through a higher-rate injection of random errors than in block-code approaches, along with additional noise introduced via polynomial division, which substantially obfuscates the underlying code structure.Semi-invertible transformations generate dense, random-like generator matrices that conceal algebraic properties and resist known structural attacks.Consequently, the scheme achieves cryptanalytic security margins exceeding those of the classic McEliece system by factors greater than 2 100 .Finally, decryption at the recipient employs an array of parallel Viterbi decoders, enabling efficient hardware and software implementation and positioning the scheme as a strong candidate for deployment in practical quantum-resistant public-key cryptosystems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5121/csit.2025.1517","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-24T10:30:26Z","doi":"10.5121/csit.2025.1517","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/igarss55030.2025.11243707","name":"IGARSS

Kenya’s economy has slowed despite several improving macroeconomic indicators. The external sector showed improvement, driven by recovering exports and rising financial inflows. A tighter monetary policy and moderation in global inflation have contributed to a decline in inflation. Kenya’s fiscal policy challenges are multifaceted and have significant implications for the country’s economic stability and growth. Increased domestic borrowing is crowding out private sector lending. Kenya’s real gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to pick up gradually in the medium term with the external sector also projected to remain stable in the medium term. The economic outlook faces several downside risks, including fiscal challenges, weather, and external shocks. In the context of narrowing fiscal space, growing demand for investment in essential services, and the limited inclusivity of economic growth, there is an urgent need for a more efficient and equitable fiscal policy.

For vertical eccentric loads, these can be constructed using an exact solution based on theorems of the limit analysis accounting for the direction of the resulting moment vector. In case of horizontal loads, the available approximate solution is derived from the limit equilibrium method and incorporates the dependence of the yielding moment of the pile concrete cross-section from the axial force acting at its head. When compared with conventional criteria, these recent methods offer undeniable advantages in the design of pile foundations. Nevertheless, the interaction between the horizontal and moment components has not yet been properly implemented in routine design and may lead to an overestimation of the collapse load when the sectional moment capacity of the piles is not negligible. To fill this gap, an approach based on the limit equilibrium method to construct the collapse domains in the force space is proposed, in which the interaction mechanisms between the components of the resulting load are fully addressed. An application to the case study of a real pile group is also presented.","url":"https://doi.org/10.37308/dfieffc.2025","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-26T12:10:26Z","doi":"10.37308/dfieffc.2025","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5121/csit.2025.1511","name":"Conference on Signal Processing Trends 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"Until recently, scholarly focus on the post-adoption phase, specifically users' continued usage of chatbot services, has been notably limited.Recognizing this gap in the existing literature, the current research endeavors to develop an integrative model.This model extends the theoretical framework of the Expectation Confirmation Model (ECM) by incorporating key constructs related to chatbot service quality and anthropomorphism.Both of these concepts are deemed crucial in influencing the continuance usage of chatbot services.As an integral facet of a broader research undertaking, the model will be empirically applied to assess citizens' intentions regarding the continued use of chatbot services within context of the United Arab Emirates.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5121/csit.2025.1511","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-05T05:17:51Z","doi":"10.5121/csit.2025.1511","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z"},{"id":"doi:10.55363/idmc.xtgw2833","name":"2025 Global Report on Internal Displacement (GRID)","source":"crossref","abstract":"This year’s report reveals that the number of internally displaced people worldwide has reached a new high of 83.4 million, more than double compared to just six years ago.

Volume 15 of the International Yearbook of Futurism Studies looks at how Futurist Primitivism responded to and shaped colonialism in Africa, how it related to the national heritage, how it interacted with art practices of indigenous populations and how some of its members self-identified as barbarians, primitives and naïve creators. Eleven scholars explore in this volume Futurist Primitivism as an anti-classicist impulse in Italy, France, Portugal, Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Brazil and Peru and show how it proposed new ways of shaping local, regional, national and individual aesthetics and identities.

Its economy grew at an estimated rate of 5.4 percent in 2024, higher than the Sub-Saharan African (SSA) average of 3.2 percent. The country has consolidated its post-COVID-19 recovery and is gradually closing the output gap against its long-run potential. Economic expansion has been broad-based, driven by increased household and government consumption, export growth, and rising investment from both the public and private sectors. Several factors have contributed to this economic momentum, including favorable export and import prices, a buoyant tourism sector, strong agricultural yields aided by favorable weather, and the commissioning of major infrastructure projects such as the Julius Nyerere Hydro Power Project (JNHPP) as well as the first segment of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), which connects the coast to inland regions. In 2024, improvements in macroeconomic management resulted in low inflation and strong fiscal revenues, enabling the government to deliver on its development agenda with reduced reliance on borrowing. Additionally, in the second half of the year, foreign exchange challenges eased.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/45045","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-17T02:10:57Z","doi":"10.1596/45045","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1515/juru-2025-frontmatter2","name":"Frontmatter","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/juru-2025-frontmatter2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-14T16:03:19Z","doi":"10.1515/juru-2025-frontmatter2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z"},{"id":"doi:10.33383/2025-03","name":"Issue 03-2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.33383/2025-03","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-18T12:32:56Z","doi":"10.33383/2025-03","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59617/efepub2025124","name":"SAĞLIK &amp;

in what was originally a large village with one of the largest Migration Period farms recorded on the whole island.The house and the excavation results are presented in brief, and in particular, the find of a raptor claw inside the house is given special attention.The claw is evaluated osteologically, identified as the claw of an eagle and suggested as an indication of prestige related to the local elite at the site.This is followed by an attempt to place the find in a larger context, with an evaluation of the find as a possible indication of falconry at the site in the Migration Period.The role of eagles in falconry is examined and the implications for this in connection with the falconry hypothesis at Gamla Skogsby are discussed.The find and the settlement at which it was made are then analysed in relation to a larger landscape context including important artefact finds, burials, settlements and fortifications, and the possible role of women in relation to falconry is discussed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.62077/f295qv","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-19T03:15:20Z","doi":"10.62077/f295qv","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21436/inbo.a.5122","name":"Advies

cyberattacks.Traditional vulnerability detection methods, including rule-based, signature-based, manual review, static, and dynamic analysis, often exhibit limitations when encountering increasingly

vulnerabilities.This survey analyzes 34 relevant studies from high-impact journals and conferences between 2017 and 2024.This survey introduces the conceptual framework \"Vulnerability Detection Lifecycle\" for the first time to systematically analyze and compare various DL-based vulnerability detection methods and unify them into the same analysis perspective.The framework includes six phases: (1) Dataset Construction, (2) Vulnerability Granularity Definition, (3) Code Representation, (4) Model Design, (5) Model Performance Evaluation, and (6) Real-world Project Implementation.For each phase of the framework, we identify and explore key issues through in-depth analysis of existing research while also highlighting challenges that remain inadequately addressed.This survey provides guidelines for future software vulnerability detection, facilitating further implementation of deep learning techniques applications in this field.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5121/csit.2025.1514","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-02T06:45:02Z","doi":"10.5121/csit.2025.1514","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:27.453Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/elmar66948.2025.11193999","name":"ELMAR

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a very aggressive subtype of breast cancer with poor prognosis and limited effective therapeutic options. Purpose: In TNBC treatment, chemotherapy remains the milestone, and doxorubicin (Dox) represents the first-line systemic treatment; however, its non-selective distribution causes a cascade of side effects. To address these problems, we developed a delivery platform based on the self-assembly of amphiphilic peptides carrying several moieties on their surfaces, aimed at targeting, enhancing penetration, and therapy. Methods: Through a single-step self-assembly process, we used amphiphilic peptides to obtain nanofibers decorated on their surfaces with the selected moieties. The surface of the nanofiber was decorated with a cell-penetrating peptide (gH625), an EGFR-targeting peptide (P22), and Dox bound to the cleavage sequence selectively recognized and cleaved by MMP-9 to obtain on-demand drug release. Detailed physicochemical and cellular analyses were performed. Results: The obtained nanofiber (NF-Dox) had a length of 250 nm and a diameter of 10 nm, and it was stable under dilution, ionic strength, and different pH environments. The biological results showed that the presence of gH625 favored the complete internalization of NF-Dox after 1h in MDA-MB 231 cells, mainly through a translocation mechanism. Interestingly, we observed the absence of toxicity of the carrier (NF) on both healthy cells such as HaCaT and TNBC cancer lines, while a similar antiproliferative effect was observed on TNBC cells after the treatment with the free-Dox at 50 µM and NF-Dox carrying 7.5 µM of Dox. Discussion: We envision that this platform is extremely versatile and can be used to efficiently carry and deliver diverse moieties. The knowledge acquired from this study will provide important guidelines for applications in basic research and biomedicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2147/ijn.s453958","authors":["Rosa Bellavita","Marialuisa Piccolo","Linda Leone","Maria Grazia Ferraro","Principia Dardano","Luca De Stefano","Flavia Nastri","Carlo Irace","Annarita Falanga","Stefania Galdiero"],"tags":["Triple-negative breast cancer","Doxorubicin","Nanofiber","Drug delivery","Peptide"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2147/ijn.s453958","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4235593984","name":"Republic of Korea","source":"openalex","abstract":"Selected Issues","url":"https://doi.org/10.5089/9781513574929.002","authors":["International Monetary Fund.

However, relatively few studies have been conducted on the effects of biofuels on cylinder lubrication performance in low-speed, two-stroke marine diesel engines. In this study, catering waste oil was blended with 180 cSt low-sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) to prepare biofuels with volume fractions of 24% (B24) and 50% (B50). These biofuels were evaluated in a MAN marine diesel engine under load conditions of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90%. The experimental results showed that, at the same engine load, the use of B50 biofuel led to lower kinematic viscosity and oxidation degree of the cylinder residual oil, but higher total base number (TBN), nitration level, PQ index, and concentrations of wear elements (Fe, Cu, Cr, Mo). These results indicate that the wear of the cylinder liner–piston ring interface was more severe when using B50 biofuel than when using B24 biofuel. For the same type of fuel, as the engine load increased, the kinematic viscosity and TBN of the residual oil decreased, while the PQ index and the concentrations of Fe, Cu, Cr, and Mo increased, reflecting the aggravated wear severity.

Near-depleted edge-bottom water reservoirs are attractive targets for CO2 storage, as they can not only enhance oil recovery (EOR) but also provide important potential candidates for geological storage. This study investigated CO2 enhanced oil recovery and storage for a typical near-depleted edge-bottom water reservoir that had been developed for a long time with a recovery factor of 51.93%. To improve the oil recovery and CO2 storage, new production scenarios are explored. At the near-depleted stage, by comparing the four different scenarios of water injection, gas injection, water alternating gas injection, and bi-directional injection, the highest additional recovery of 8.64% is achieved by the bi-directional injection scenario. Increasing the injection pressure leads to a higher gas-oil ratio and liquid production rate. After shifting from the near-depleted to depleted stage, the most effective approach to improve CO2 storage capacity is to increase reservoir pressure. At 1.4 times the initial reservoir pressure, the maximum storage capacity is 6.52×108 m3. However, excessive pressures boosting poses potential storage and leakage risks. Therefore, lower injection rates and longer intermittent injections are expected to achieve a larger amount of long-term CO2 storage. Through the numerical simulation study, a gas injection rate of 80,000 m3/day and a schedule of 4-6 years injection with 1 year shut-in was shown to be effective for the case considered. During 31 years of CO2 injection, the percentage dissolved CO2 increased from 5.46% to 6.23% during the near-depleted period, and to 7.76% during the depleted period.

METHODS: This prospective observational study was conducted at Peking University International Hospital. Between November 2022 to August 2023, 101 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass were included. Renal and cerebral tissue oxygen saturation was continuously monitored during the operation using NIRS. RESULTS: The overall incidence of CSA-AKI was 27% (27/101), with a 4% incidence rate of requiring renal replacement therapy. The incidence of CSA-AKI was 57% (13/23) in patients with renal desaturation compared to 18% (14/78) in those without renal desaturation (P < 0.01). CSA-AKI occurred in 71% (12/17) of patients with cerebral desaturation compared to 18% (15/84) in those without cerebral desaturation (P < 0.01).

The cyclic calcination and carbonation characteristics of a typical natural limestone were investigated using a thermal gravimetric analyzer. Two kinds of over-sintering conditions were selected to emphatically study the cyclic separation of CO2 from limestones through prolonging the calcination time and increasing the calcination temperature. The results showed that the untimely end of the chemical reaction control stage caused by excessive sintering is the direct reason for the reduction in cyclic carbonation conversion, and the changes in surface morphology of calcined products due to pore collapse and fusion are the fundamental reasons for the reduction in cyclic carbonation conversion. The excessive sintering caused by extending the calcining time or increasing the calcining temperature has great inhibition on this cycle only; the inhibition decreases rapidly in subsequent cycles.

Among emerging DAC materials, pyrolysis chars (PCs) and gasification chars (GCs) derived from biomass present a promising pathway due to their tunable porosity, surface chemistry, and low-cost feedstocks. This review critically examines the current state of research on the physicochemical properties of PCs and GCs relevant to CO2 adsorption, including surface area, pore structure, surface functionality and aromaticity. Comparative analyses show that chemical activation, especially with KOH, can significantly improve CO2 adsorption capacity, with some PCs achieving more than 308 mg/g (100 kPa CO2, 25 °C). Additionally, nitrogen and sulfur doping further improves the affinity for CO2 through increased surface basicity. GCs, although inherently more porous, often require additional modification to achieve a similar adsorption capacity. Importantly, the long-term stability and regeneration potential of these chars remain underexplored, but are essential for practical DAC applications and economic viability. The paper identifies critical research gaps related to material design and techno-economic feasibility. Future directions emphasize the need for integrated multiscale research that bridges material science, process optimization, and real-world DAC deployment. A synthesis of findings and a research outlook are provided to support the advancement of carbon-negative technologies using thermochemically derived biomass chars.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18154120","authors":["Wojciech Jerzak","Bin Li","Dennys Correia da Silva","Glauber Cruz"],"tags":["Pyrolysis","Adsorption","Biomass (ecology)","Carbon fibers","Porosity"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18154120","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403317750","name":"The first prevalence and antifungal susceptibility profile of Candida infections in Palestine, 2022","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Candida spp. are the most common cause of opportunistic fungal infections and are associated with a high mortality rate worldwide. In Palestine, the prevalence of Candida spp. infections remains elusive. METHODS: We performed our study at two hospitals in Palestine (Istishari Arab Hospital, and Najah National University Hospital). All patients diagnosed with candidiasis during the year 2022 have participated in the study. The prevalence of Candida spp., their distribution, and the activity of selected antifungals against Candida pathogens were assessed. In combination with phenotypic properties, Candida isolates were identified and tested for antifungal susceptibility using the colorimetric VITEK-2 Compact system. RESULTS: Our results showed that the prevalence of Candida spp. among infected samples was 11.6%. A total of eleven different Candida spp. were identified. Among these isolates, C. albicans (46.54%) was the most frequent, followed by C. glabrata (16.14%), C. tropicalis (13.83%), C. parapsilosis (4.82%), C. krusei (3.56%), C. dubliniensis (2.09%), C. ciferrii (1.67%), C. lusitaniae (0.83%), C. guilliermondii (0.62%), C. kefyer (0.41%) and C. spherica (0.20%). Among C. albicans, all isolates were 100% susceptible to fluconazole and micafungin. The susceptibility rates to Amphotericin B and flucytosine were 95% and 99%, respectively. The susceptibility rates of non-albicans Candida spp. (NAC) to fluconazole, voriconazole, amphotericine B, caspofungin, flucytosine and micafungin were 70%, 99%, 97%, ,72%, 92% and 100%, respectively. The incidence of Candida infections was higher in the intensive care unit and surgery department as compared to other hospital departments. CONCLUSIONS: Four pathogens are responsible for the most invasive infections: C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, and C. parapsilosis. A notable characteristic of this study was the high frequency of NAC species which were often more resistant to antifungal agents. A quick and accurate system like Vitek 2 compact was suggested for the careful species identification of clinical isolates of Candida. We suggest that continued surveillance of species distribution and susceptibility to antifungals will enhance future burden estimates and assist in evaluating preventative measures' effectiveness.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-024-10062-3","authors":["Hanaa Baniodeh","Rasmi Abu‐Helu","Mohand Abulihya","Mohammed Y.

Furthermore, we measured inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and its collapsibility index (CI) by echocardiography. Finally, we modeled a stepwise multiple regression analysis to determine the predictors of LV geometry. RESULTS: Our study provides evidence that HD patients had a prevalence of abnormal LV geometry in 92% and LVH in 81%. We found all four geometric models of LV. Most dominant were eccentric LVH. Concentric LVH was observed in 37, normal geometry (NG) in 9, and concentric remodeling (CR) in 13 of HD patients. Mean arterial blood pressure was significantly higher in the cLVH group (95 +/- 10 mmHg) than in the NG and CR groups (81.6 +/- 12.3 and 80 +/- 11.8, respectively, p < 0.001).

Early and accurate detection is critical for effective intervention, as treatment options become increasingly limited as the disease progresses. Traditional diagnostic methods rely heavily on the expertise of physicians and are susceptible to errors. The demand for utilizing deep learning models in order to automate and improve the accuracy of KOA image classification has been increasing. In this research, a unique deep learning model is presented that employs autoencoders as the primary mechanism for feature extraction, providing a robust solution for KOA classification. Methods: The proposed model differentiates between KOA-positive and KOA-negative images and categorizes the disease into its primary severity levels. Levels of severity range from “healthy knees” (0) to “severe KOA” (4). Symptoms range from typical joint structures to significant joint damage, such as bone spur growth, joint space narrowing, and bone deformation. Two experiments were conducted using different datasets to validate the efficacy of the proposed model. Results: The first experiment used the autoencoder for feature extraction and classification, which reported an accuracy of 96.68%. Another experiment using autoencoders for feature extraction and Extreme Learning Machines for actual classification resulted in an even higher accuracy value of 98.6%. To test the generalizability of the Knee-DNS system, we utilized the Butterfly iQ+ IoT device for image acquisition and Google Colab’s cloud computing services for data processing.

This characteristic holds significant scientific importance in the application of chloroplast genetic engineering and the genetic improvement of species. Chloranthus, an ancestral angiosperm with significant economic, medicinal, and ornamental value, belongs to the basal angiosperms. However, the codon usage patterns among Chloranthus species have remained unclear. Methods: To investigate codon usage bias and its influencing factors in Chloranthus chloroplast genomes, we utilized CodonW, CUSP, and SPSS software to analyze the chloroplast genomes of seven Chloranthus species. Results: In this study, we reported and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of the Chinese endemic species Chloranthus angustifolius. The phylogenetic tree based on the whole chloroplast genomes showed that C. angustifolius is sister to Chloranthus fortunei, and the genus Chloranthus is divided into two major clades, consistent with previous studies. Our results revealed that the GC content at different codon positions across all seven Chloranthus species was less than 50%, with GC1 > GC2 > GC3. Additionally, the average effective number of codons (ENC) values exceeded 45. A total of 10 shared optimal codons were identified, nine of which end with A or U. PR2-plot, ENC-plot, and neutrality plot analyses indicated that natural selection primarily influenced codon usage bias in the chloroplast genomes of Chloranthus. Conclusions: We newly obtained the chloroplast genome of C. angustifolius and proposed that natural selection played a key role in codon usage patterns in Chloranthus species.

A new concept, the CO2 boundary price, is introduced as a key metric for determining the operating conditions of CO2 capture units. The CO2 boundary price rises when the power load decreases due to the decline in power generation efficiency, and it also increases with rising fuel prices, as the cost of steam for CO2 capture increases. Additionally, when the objective is to meet power load demand, CO2 prices have a great influence on the operation of CO2 capture units, assuming fixed coal and electricity prices.

Purpose The objective of our study is to describe the baseline and admission characteristics of patients who require IVM in a CCU, as well as the characteristics of ventilation, complications and in-hospital mortality. Methods Single-center retrospective observational study of a cohort of patients admitted to the CCU of a tertiary hospital between January 2018 and March 2024 who required IMV. Baseline characteristics, reason for admission and intubation, as well as evolution and complications during admission were registered. Results A total of 349 patients were included, 246 of them (70.5%) male. The mean age was 67.6 years (SD 12.4). Image 1 summarizes the baseline characteristics of the patients and Image 2 shows the reasons for admission. Regarding the causes of orotracheal intubation (OTI), the most frequent was cardiac arrest (56.2%), followed by respiratory failure (28.9%) and cardiogenic shock (14.9%). Regarding the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at admission, 67.4% had a depressed LVEF, corresponding to 31.8% of the total with a severely depressed LVEF (<30%). The most used ventilation mode initially was the volume-controlled mode (VC/AC), used in 68.2% of patients. The mean number of days in the CCU was 10.49 (minimum 1-maximum 78, SD 10.19) and IOT was 5.36 days (minimum 1-max 64, SD 6.7). The average days to weaning from IMV were 1.84 (min 0-max 16, SD 2.31). Extubation failure occurred in 65 patients (20.3%), with the most frequent reasons being the need for reintubation (9.5%), the need for non-invasive MV (8%) and self-extubation (1,1%). 20 patients (5.7%) required tracheostomy. Regarding complications, 30.1% suffered sepsis, 60.7% suffered cardiogenic shock, and 6.6% required renal replacement therapy. In-hospital mortality was 45.3% (158 patients). Conclusions VMI is an increasingly common technique as the complexity of CCU increases. Patients who require it are usually in a critical situation, in addition to having multiple pathologies. The most common reason for IMV in our unit was cardiac arrest, and a high percentage of patients suffered from cardiogenic shock during admission. These patients will have prolonged stays, frequent complications and high in-hospital mortality. Our series contains a high number of patients, which may be of great interest to draw conclusions about this population.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ehjacc/zuaf044.148","authors":["A. C.

For this purpose, freshwater samples were enriched with 10 vol% CO2 and an alkaline culture medium (pH 9.0), wherein almost free CO2 was converted to carbonate and bicarbonate to yield alkaliphilic and high-level CO2-tolerant microalgae. Ten microalgal strains of Micractinium, Chlorella, Scenedesmus/Tetradesmus, or Desmodesmus spp. were isolated, some of which demonstrated good growth even under conditions of >pH 10 and >30 vol% CO2. All algal strains grew well through fixing biogas-derived CO2 in a vial-scale biogas upgrading experiment, which reduced the CO2 level in biogas to an undetectable level. These strains yielded antioxidant carotenoids, including lutein, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin, and β-carotene, particularly rich in lutein (up to 7.3 mg/g dry cells). In addition, these strains contained essential amino acids, accounting for 42.9 mol% of the total amino acids on average, and they were rich in unsaturated fatty acids (comprising 62.2 wt% of total fatty acids). The present study identified strains that can contribute to biogas upgrading technology, and the present findings suggest that their biomass can serve as useful raw material across the food, nutraceutical, and feed industries.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/fermentation10030134","authors":["Yuri Kikuchi","Daichi Kanai","Kenjiro Sugiyama","Katsuhiko Fujii"],"tags":["Biogas","Food science","Biomass (ecology)","Scenedesmus","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/fermentation10030134","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4386886652","name":"Single atom Cu-N-C catalysts for the electro-reduction of CO2 to CO assessed by rotating ring-disc electrode","source":"openalex","abstract":"The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to controllable chemicals is considered as a promising pathway to store intermittent renewable energy.

However, as the world shifts toward renewable energy, overcoming the limitations of intermittent power sources requires a bold reimagining of energy storage and integration. Power-to-X (PtX) technologies, which convert excess renewable electricity into storable energy carriers, offer a promising solution for long-term energy storage and sector coupling. Recent advancements in machine learning (ML) have revolutionized PtX systems by enhancing efficiency, scalability, and sustainability. This review provides a detailed analysis of how ML techniques, such as deep reinforcement learning, data-driven optimization, and predictive diagnostics, are driving innovation in Power-to-Gas (PtG), Power-to-Liquid (PtL), and Power-to-Heat (PtH) systems. For example, deep reinforcement learning has improved real-time decision-making in PtG systems, reducing operational costs and improving grid stability. Additionally, predictive diagnostics powered by ML have increased system reliability by identifying early failures in critical components such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Despite these advancements, challenges such as data quality, real-time processing, and scalability remain, presenting future research opportunities.

This can be especially challenging for compressible fluids, such as CO2, and for multiphase flow, including both water and carbon dioxide (CO2). This research studies the ability of two crosslinked polymers, including hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and acrylic acid/hydrolyzed polyacrylamide crosslinked polymers, to reduce the permeability of both CO2 and formation water using different salinities and permeability values and in the presence of crude oil under different injection rates. The result showed that both polymers managed to reduce the permeability of water effectively; however, their CO2 permeability-reduction potential was much lower, with the CO2 permeability reduction being less than 50% of the water reduction potential in the majority of the experiments. This was mainly due to the high flow rate of the CO2 compared to the water, which resulted in significant shearing of the crosslinked polymer. The crosslinked polymers’ swelling ratios were impacted differently based on the salinity, with the maximum swelling ratio being 9.8. The HPAM polymer was negatively affected by the presence of crude oil, whereas increasing salinity improved its performance greatly. All in all, both polymers had a higher permeability reduction for the formation water compared to CO2 under all conditions. This research can help improve the applicability of CO2-enhanced oil recovery and CO2 storage in depleted oil reservoirs. The ability of the crosslinked polymers to improve CO2 storage will be a main focus of future research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/polym16243503","authors":["Sherif Fakher","Abdelaziz Khlaifat","Karim Mokhtar","Mariam Abdelsamei"],"tags":["Polyacrylamide","Polymer","Chemical engineering","Permeability (electromagnetism)","Enhanced oil recovery"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/polym16243503","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401729542","name":"Threats of nursing productivity in the digital era: investigating the interplay between smartphones addiction and procrastination behavior among nurses","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Controlling smartphone addiction and procrastination among nurses is crucial for enhancing the productivity of both nursing and the healthcare system. Critical care nurses are highly vulnerable to smartphone addiction and procrastination behaviors than other groups. They may purposefully delay their tasks, a practice known as active procrastination, or inadvertently delay them, a practice known as passive procrastination. AIM: This study was designed to assess the prevalence of smartphone addiction and procrastination behavior among nurses, examine the effect of smartphone addiction on the active and passive procrastination behaviors, and explore the correlation between active and passive procrastination behaviors among nurses. METHOD: This is a descriptive correlational exploratory study that was conducted at 23 critical care units of one large educational hospital in Egypt. Data were collected from 360 nurses who were conveniently selected using three tools: the Smartphone Addiction Inventory, the New Active Procrastination Scale, and the Unintentional Procrastination Scale. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to test the hypothetical relationship among the study variables. RESULTS: This study revealed that 55.0%, 80.0%, and 45.3% of nurses had a moderate perceived level of smartphone addiction, active procrastination behavior, and passive procrastination behavior, respectively. There is a significant positive correlation between smartphone addiction and both nurses' active and passive procrastination behaviors. Smartphone addiction accounts for 25% of the variance in nurses' active procrastination behavior and 18% of the variance in their passive procrastination. Furthermore, there is a moderately significant negative correlation between nurses' active procrastination behavior and their passive procrastination behavior. CONCLUSION: Nurses are exhibiting moderate levels of smartphone addiction and procrastination, which is a significant threat to the healthcare industry and nursing productivity. This requires technological, educational, and organizational interventions that foster active procrastination and combat passive procrastination behaviors among nurses. IMPLICATIONS: Continuous training programs are required to enhance time management skills among nurses and increase the awareness of nurse managers with the symptoms of smartphone addiction among nurses. Nurse leaders should early detect and address the addictive use of smartphones among nurses, identify potential procrastinators, and provide counseling to eradicate these behaviors in the workplace.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12912-024-02218-y","authors":["Ahmed Abdelwahab Ibrahim El‐Sayed","Shimaa Fathy Daif Allah Hassan Goda","Gehan Galal Elbialy"],"tags":["Procrastination","Addiction","Nursing practice","Nursing management","Productivity"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12912-024-02218-y","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4408220645","name":"Industrial scale biogas reforming modelling and validation","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study investigates the industrial data from a biogas reforming plant for data reconciliation (DR) and process modelling to enhance syngas production.

These peptides, like other compounds with antimicrobial activity, often have significant superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. One direction of our research is the characterization of peptides modeling the CuZnSOD enzyme and the determination of their biological activity, and these results may contribute to the development of novel antimicrobial peptides. In the framework of this research, we have synthesized 10, 15, and 16-membered model peptides containing the amino acid sequence corresponding to the Cu(II) and Zn(II) binding sites of the CuZnSOD enzyme, namely the Zn(II)-binding HVGD sequence (80–83. fragments), the Cu(II)-binding sequence HVH (fragments 46–48), and the histidine (His63), which links the two metal ions as an imidazolate bridge: Ac-FHVHEGPHFN-NH2 (L1(10)), Ac-FHVHAGPHFNGGHVG-NH2 (L2(15)), and Ac-FHVHEGPHFNGGHVGD-NH2 (L3(16)). pH-potentiometric, UV-Vis-, and CD-spectroscopy studies of the Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cu(II)-Zn(II) mixed complexes of these peptides were performed, and the SOD activity of the complexes was determined. The binding sites preferred by Cu(II) and Zn(II) were identified by means of CD-spectroscopy. From the results obtained for these systems, it can be concluded that in equimolar solution, the –(NGG)HVGD- sequence of the peptides is the preferred binding site for copper(II) ion. However, in the presence of both metal ions, according to the native enzyme, the -HVGD- sequence offers the main binding site for Zn(II), while the majority of Cu(II) binds to the -FHVH- sequence. Based on the SOD activity assays, complexes of the 15- and 16-membered peptide have a significant SOD activity. Although this activity is smaller than that of the native CuZnSOD enzyme, the complexes showed better performance in the degradation of superoxide anion than other SOD mimics. Thus, the incorporation of specific amino acid sequences mimicking the CuZnSOD enzyme increases the efficiency of model systems in the catalytic decomposition of superoxide anion.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules29040795","authors":["Enikő Székely","Mariann Molnár","Norbert Lihi","Katalin Várnagy"],"tags":["Chemistry","Superoxide dismutase","Histidine","Zinc","Enzyme"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules29040795","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4416921416","name":"Ultrasound‐Assisted Capture of CO 2 From Flue Gas Using Steel Slag Leachate and Synthesis of Vaterite‐Type CaCO 3","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT This study investigated the sequestration of CO 2 from flue gas using a Ca‐rich leachate obtained by leaching steel slag with CH 3 COOH.

However, insufficient DMC yields arise due to the inert nature of CO2 and the limitations of reaction equilibrium. Oxygen vacancies are known to facilitate CO2 activation and improve catalytic performance. In this work, we have demonstrated that tuning oxygen vacancies in catalysts and implementing in situ water removal can enable highly efficient DMC production from CO2. CexZryO2 nanorods with abundant oxygen vacancies were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. In liquid-phase DMC synthesis, the Ce10Zr1O2 nanorods exhibited a 1.7- and 1.4-times higher DMC yield compared to CeO2 nanoparticles and undoped CeO2 nanorods, respectively. Zr doping yielded a CeZr solid solution with increased oxygen vacancies, promoting CO2 adsorption and activation. In addition, adding 2-cyanopyridine as an organic dehydrating agent achieved an outstanding 87% methanol conversion and >99% DMC selectivity by shifting the reaction equilibrium to the desired product. Moreover, mixing CeO2 nanoparticles with hydrophobic fumed SiO2 in gas-phase DMC synthesis led to a doubling of DMC yield. This significant increase was attributed to the faster diffusion of water molecules away from the catalyst surface, facilitated by the hydrophobic SiO2. This study illustrates an effective dual strategy of enhancing oxygen vacancies and implementing in situ water removal to boost DMC production from CO2. The strategy can also be applied to other reactions impacted by water accumulation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17040839","authors":["Kaiying Wang","Shiguang Li","Miao Yu","Xinhua Liang"],"tags":["In situ","Oxygen","Production (economics)","Oxygen evolution","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17040839","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410238982","name":"Performance of a gliding arc plasmatron pilot reactor with an integrated carbon bed and recirculation for upscaled CO 2 conversion","source":"openalex","abstract":"Improved performance and reduced energy cost with the implementation of a carbon bed, with batch and semi-continuous feeding.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5re00190k","authors":["Robbe Bryssinck","Gregory J Smith","Colin O’Modhrain","Tom Van Assche","Georgi Trenchev","Annemie Bogaerts"],"tags":["Plasmatron","Arc (geometry)","Nuclear engineering","Environmental science","Materials science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5re00190k","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4392014230","name":"A Comprehensive Review on the Power Supply System of Hydrogen Production Electrolyzers for Future Integrated Energy Systems","source":"openalex","abstract":"Hydrogen energy is regarded as an ideal solution for addressing climate change issues and an indispensable part of future integrated energy systems.

Various electrolyzer power supply topologies are studied and reviewed. Although the most widely used topology in the current hydrogen production industry is still single-stage AC/DC, the interleaved parallel LLC topology constructed by wideband gap power semiconductors and controlled by the zero-voltage switching algorithm has broad application prospects because of its advantages of high power density, high efficiency, fault tolerance, and low current ripple. Taking into account the development trend of the EL power supply, a hierarchical control framework is proposed as it can manage the operation performance of the power supply itself, the electrolyzer, the hydrogen energy domain, and the entire integrated energy system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17040935","authors":["Jianhua Lei","Hui Ma","Qin Geng","Zhihua Guo","Peizhou Xia","Chuantong Hao"],"tags":["Hydrogen production","Production (economics)","Power to gas","Process engineering","Energy supply"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17040935","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404919060","name":"Review of the Chinese Aluminum Industry’s Low-Carbon Development Driven by Carbon Tariffs: Challenges and Strategic Responses","source":"openalex","abstract":"Carbon tariffs are designed to prevent carbon leakage and encourage global industries to adopt low-carbon practices, which present significant challenges for China’s aluminum industry.

With the increasing emergence of resistant microorganisms, the effectiveness of current antimicrobial medicines against common infections is diminishing. This study aims to conduct a competitive meta-analysis of surveillance data on resistant microorganisms and their antimicrobial resistance patterns in two countries, Egypt and the United Kingdom (UK). METHODS: Data for this study were obtained from published reports spanning the period from 2013 to 2022. In Egypt and the UK, a total of 9,751 and 10,602 food samples were analyzed, respectively. Among these samples, 3,205 (32.87%) in Egypt and 4,447 (41.94%) in the UK were found to contain AMR bacteria. RESULTS: In Egypt, the predominant resistance was observed against β-lactam and aminoglycosides, while in the United Kingdom, most isolates exhibited resistance to tetracycline and β-lactam. The findings from the analysis underscore the increasing prevalence of AMR in certain microorganisms, raising concerns about the development of multidrug resistance. CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis sheds light on the escalating AMR problem associated with certain microorganisms that pose a higher risk of multidrug resistance development. The significance of implementing One Health AMR surveillance is emphasized to bridge knowledge gaps and facilitate accurate AMR risk assessments, ensuring consumer safety.

This modification is catalyzed by both type I and II protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). One of the most conserved type I PRMTs is PRMT1, the homolog of which is Hmt1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Hmt1 has been shown to play a role in various gene expression steps, such as promoting the dynamics of messenger ribonucleoprotein particle (mRNP) biogenesis, pre-mRNA splicing, and silencing of chromatin. To determine the full extent of Hmt1's involvement during gene expression, we carried out a genome-wide location analysis for Hmt1. RESULTS: A comprehensive genome-wide binding profile for Hmt1 was obtained by ChIP-chip using NimbleGen high-resolution tiling microarrays. Of the approximately 1000 Hmt1-binding sites found, the majority fall within or proximal to an ORF. Different occupancy patterns of Hmt1 across genes with different transcriptional rates were found. Interestingly, Hmt1 occupancy is found at a number of other genomic features such as tRNA and snoRNA genes, thereby implicating a regulatory role in the biogenesis of these non-coding RNAs. RNA hybridization analysis shows that Hmt1 loss-of-function mutants display higher steady-state tRNA abundance relative to the wild-type. Co-immunoprecipitation studies demonstrate that Hmt1 interacts with the TFIIIB component Bdp1, suggesting a mechanism for Hmt1 in modulating RNA Pol III transcription to regulate tRNA production. CONCLUSIONS: The genome-wide binding profile of Hmt1 reveals multiple potential new roles for Hmt1 in the control of eukaryotic gene expression, especially in the realm of non-coding RNAs. The data obtained here will provide an important blueprint for future mechanistic studies on the described occupancy relationship for genomic features bound by Hmt1.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-13-728","authors":["Eric Milliman","Zihua Hu","Michael Yu"],"tags":["Biology","Genetics","RNA splicing","Tiling array","Gene"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-12-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-13-728","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4414567073","name":"RIMePOP n.1 : Les représentations de la mafia dans la culture populaire (séries tv, cinéma, réseaux sociaux)","source":"openalex","abstract":"- Mardi 26/11/2024, 09h30-11h30 (communauté universitaire, dont étudiants) : La Mafia en série(s) - « Narrations et représentations des mafias au cinéma et dans les séries aujourd’hui »- Mardi 26/11/2024, 14h-18h (communauté universitaire, dont étudiants) : La Mafia au cinéma – projection d’un film italien sous-titré I cento passi de Marco Tullio Giordana (DVD), carte blanche à Marcello Ravveduto, puis débat animé par Marcello Ravveduto et Fabien Landron avec extraits de La siciliana ribelle et Lea.- Mercredi 27/11/2024, 10h-12h : réunion hybride (groupe restreint) pour faire l’état des lieux et définir les orientations (partage d’informations, mise en réseau, méthodologie, calendrier).- Mercredi 27/11/2024, 14h-18h (communauté universitaire dont étudiants et grand public – CCU) : conférence de Marcello Ravveduto Lo spettacolo della mafia, lecture de textes et débat.","url":"https://openalex.org/W4414567073","authors":["Fabien Landron","Marcello Ravveduto","Davia Benedetti"],"tags":["Humanities","Art","Political science","Projection (relational algebra)","History"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-26","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409445601","name":"Screening and Evaluation of CO2 Thickening Agents Based on Molecular Dynamics Simulation Technology","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide CO 2 is one of the main methods for improving recovery.

Models of five CO 2 + polymer systems (P-1-D, PVEE, PVAEE, Piso-BVE, and four-armed PVAc) were established. The results indicate that the presence of functional groups such as ether, acetate, and ester in the polymers enhances intermolecular interactions, which restricts the free movement of CO 2 molecules and significantly reduces intermolecular forces among them. This results in an increase in CO2 viscosity. Among the polymers, the four-armed PVAc increases the viscosity of the supercritical CO 2 system by 5.29 times, although it has the poorest solubility.

This discrepancy, though niche within life cycle engineering, demands attention due to the integration of the sharing principles in the widely adopted Science Based Targets initiative, embraced by 4000+ companies, representing over a third of the global economy. This paper suggests operationalizing sufficientarianism as a fair sharing principle for AESAs guaranteeing a minimum threshold of well‐being for all. The theory of human needs is highlighted to distinguish luxuries from necessities. This is vital when assigning shares to products/companies, as there's no room for luxuries (products for someone which cause others to fall short), given the extremely limited individual safe operating space, regardless of the sharing approach. This paper argues that sufficientarian‐based sharing principles must overlook historically skewed material welfare distributions to ensure no one falls below the minimum threshold. It underscores the need for an interdisciplinary approach to sharing principles, acknowledging and discussing diverse value perspectives on equal grounds. The focus is to inform and discuss the development of new sharing principles, which introduces initial steps toward a sufficientarian‐based approach. The paper concludes that recognizing embedded values is paramount in sharing principle development. Failing to do so risks letting quantifiable metrics dictate the values integrated into AESAs without open discourse.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jiec.13472","authors":["Mia Heide","Mickey Gjerris"],"tags":["Sustainability","Industrial ecology","Absolute (philosophy)","Environmental resource management","Business"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jiec.13472","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4297890239","name":"Urban Planning for Climate Change","source":"openalex","abstract":"This book tackles the future challenges and opportunities for planning our cities and towns in a changing climate and recommends key actions for more resilient urban futures.

METHODS: This is a prospective observational, cross-sectional study. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients presented to the Cardiology Department at Tanta University, Egypt, between September 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023, were enrolled. The study assessed gender disparities by comparing men and women regarding presentation, management, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) occurrence during hospitalization and 30 days after discharge. RESULTS: A total of 400 ACS patients were included, with 29.5% being women. Women were comparatively older (59 ± 9 years vs. 55 ± 13 years), with a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension (70.3% vs. 47.5%) and diabetes (55% vs. 36.8%). Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (Non-STEMI) was more common in women (35.29% vs. 21%). Dyspnea was expressed by 34.4% of women (vs. 21.35% of men). Women were hospitalized later (9.29 h vs. 6.74 h). In-hospital outcomes were poorer for women with worse NYHA classes III and IV. Additionally, the odds ratio (OR) for in-hospital cardiac mortality was 0.303 (95% CI 0.103-0.893) for women compared to men. However, a one-month follow-up for MACE post-hospital discharge did not indicate significant gender differences. CONCLUSIONS: The current study suggests that women with ACS in Egypt exhibit a higher risk profile for CVD compared to men and tend to present later with atypical symptoms. Women additionally experience poorer in-hospital MACE and higher cardiac mortality.

The global economic growth nowadays requires extensive energy consumption. Energy is produced traditionally by combustion of carbon containing fuels, resulting in the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. These emissions of released CO2 lead to the greenhouse effect on the atmosphere with subsequent impact on the global climate. Remediation of this harmful effect requires reduction in CO2 emissions. In addition to improving the efficiency of energy consumption, this reduction can be also accomplished by the recycling of carbon dioxide into fuels and useful commodities. This conversion of CO2 into fuels and commercial products leads to multiple benefits such as reduction in carbon emissions and greenhouse gases, production of value-added goods, thus reducing oil consumption and associated pollutions of the environment. This review summarizes the efforts to remove, or at least to remediate, the release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by its conversion to value-added products prior to discharging. Some of these products are urea, methanol, formic acid, some polymers of practical importance, light hydrocarbons and methane. The recent achievements in chemical catalysis, electrochemistry, bioelectrochemistry and photocatalysis are considered. Discussion on the feasibility of the considered methods compared to the traditional technologies is made. It is concluded that although production of value-added chemicals by carbon dioxide recycling is not yet competitive, it seems promising in the future when its economic feasibility will become a reality.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18030702","authors":["V.

Initially, the performance of ACEW‐30 was compared with AC impregnated with fresh EW and synthetic amino acids using fixed‐bed adsorption system. The results revealed that ACEW‐30 prepared from waste sources demonstrated comparable performance with other adsorbents tested, suggesting its potential for waste valorisation. Afterwards, the data were fitted to various adsorption isotherm models, namely, Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, Toth, Dubinin–Radushkevich and Temkin, to characterise the adsorbate‐adsorbent interaction between CO2 molecules and ACEW‐30 at different adsorption temperatures (25–50°C) and CO2 partial pressures (0.15–0.30 vol.%). The isotherm results were used to evaluate thermodynamic properties using Van't Hoff and Clausius–Clapeyron equations. The effect of regeneration conditions (desorption temperatures and nitrogen purging flow rate) have also been investigated prior to cyclic adsorption–desorption experiments. Overall findings indicate that CO2 adsorption on ACEW‐30 was best fitted to Freundlich isotherm, spontaneous and exothermic in nature. The isosteric heat of adsorption was within 20–24 kJ/mol, suggesting that the adsorption mechanism lies within the intermediate region between purely physical and purely chemical. Remarkably, the results obtained from regeneration studies reveal that ACEW‐30 exhibited high regeneration stability at 25°C and 800 mL/min purging flow rate, with more than 87% efficiency even after 20 cyclic adsorption–desorption.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ghg.2354","authors":["Nur Syahirah Mohamed Hatta","Farihahusnah Hussin","Lai Ti Gew","Mohamed Kheireddine Aroua"],"tags":["Adsorption","Activated carbon","Chemistry","Regeneration (biology)","Thermodynamics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ghg.2354","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402463039","name":"Hydrogen generation from formic acid: A CO2-to-power loop route towards hydrogen economy","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.59717/j.xinn-mater.2024.100089","authors":["Zhenyi Yang","Yibin Chen","Yu Zhang"],"tags":["Hydrogen","Formic acid","Hydrogen economy","Loop (graph theory)","Power (physics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.59717/j.xinn-mater.2024.100089","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W7141500200","name":"Microscopic-scale modeling of CO₂ sequestration and enhanced oil recovery: Methods, mechanisms, and challenges","source":"openalex","abstract":"Tackling climate change urgently demands innovative carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) strategies. CO2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) serves a dual purpose by enhancing decarbonization and energy security. Optimizing these technologies requires understanding microscopic mechanisms-adsorption, mineralization, wettability alteration, and multiphase transport-that control reservoir-scale behavior. This review synthesizes advances in computational tools-molecular dynamics (MD), density functional theory (DFT), deep learning (DL), and Monte Carlo (MC) methods-used to unravel these complex interactions. MD resolves nanoconfined fluid dynamics and interfacial phenomena under reservoir conditions, while DFT provides quantum-level insights into adsorption energetics and reaction pathways at mineral-fluid interfaces. DL enables rapid property prediction, inverse material design, and surrogate modeling, and MC efficiently predicts thermodynamic equilibria in nanoporous media. Collectively, these tools bridge atomic scale chemistry to pore-scale phenomena, predicting CO2 trapping, mineralization, and hydrocarbon displacement. Integrating these approaches overcomes individual limitations, enabling high-fidelity modeling from atomic bonds to pore-scale transport. Key challenges persist, however: bridging time scales from femtoseconds to field operations; addressing data scarcity in heterogeneous geological systems; and reconciling simulations with macroscopic observations. Emerging solutions involve ML-based interatomic potentials, adaptive sampling, and exascale computing for billion-atom mesoscale models. The future of CO2-EOR and sequestration lies in tightly coupled frameworks integrating molecular simulations, reactive transport models, and real-time field data. Field projects provide essential validation benchmarks, while community databases and federated learning enhance model generalizability. Ultimately, model-guided experimental design, informed by DL-predicted materials and MD-derived fluid behavior, will accelerate robust, scalable, permanent CCUS and EOR strategies.

Tackling narratives that portray small-scale fisheries as obsolete, disparate, and inefficient requires collectively imagining and articulating new, creative, and inspiring narratives that reflect their real contributions and enable transformative futures. Drawing on a transdisciplinary country-level case study, we analyze the process and outcomes of co-creating desirable, plural, and meaningful visions of the future for small-scale fisheries in Uruguay. Using an arts-based approach and leveraging the agency of emerging innovative initiatives throughout the country, different food system actors (fish workers, chefs, entrepreneurs) and knowledge systems (local, experience-based, and scientific) were engaged in a creative visioning process. The results of this arts-based co-creation process include (1) a series of desirable visions and narratives, synthesized into an artistic boundary object; and (2) the stepping stones to a transformative space for collective reflection, learning, and action. Although the artistic boundary object has proven instrumental among multiple and diverse participants, the transformative space encouraged academic and non-academic participants to plan collective actions and to feel more confident, motivated, and optimistic about the future of small-scale fisheries in Uruguay. With this paper we provide a tool, a platform, and a roadmap to counter the dominant bleak narrative, while also communicating the elements that constitute desirable futures for small-scale fisheries in Uruguay. On a broader scale, our contribution reinforces the emerging narrative of the key role that small-scale fisheries have, and will play, in local and global food systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5751/es-14869-290120","authors":["Ignacio Gianelli","Micaela Trimble","Silvana Juri","Nazarena Beretta","Denisse Torena","Manuela Acosta","Robert Acosta","Mario Del Bó","Jorge Fuster","Vanessa González","Diego Kurta","Marcelo Kurta","Tamara López","María Marfetán","Pablo Montes de","Alberto Castillo Morales","Victoria Mazoteras Pardo","Juan Sandoval","Nancy Schuch","Claudio Taroco","Albert V.

However, the dynamics of microbial succession and metabolism during daqu storage, particularly the functional contributions of specific microorganisms to enzyme formation and their metabolic interactions, remain unclear. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the temporal dynamics of microbial community structure, function, and enzymatic activity in daqu during storage, with a focus on metabolic interactions such as cross-feeding and metabolic division of labor (MDOL). METHODS: Metagenomic and metaproteomic analyses were integrated to profile microbial taxa, functional genes, and protein expression across storage time points. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) linked gene modules to storage time. Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) were constructed to infer metabolic interaction networks among microbes. RESULTS: Paecilomyces variotii, Rasamsonia emersonii, Rhizopus microsporus, Rhizopus delemar, Kroppenstedtia eburnea, and Weissella confusa were dominant species. In total, 14,588 protein groups were identified, including 6,801 enzymes enriched in carbohydrate, amino acid, and energy metabolism. Glucosidase activity was primarily attributed to Rasamsonia, Thermoascus, Aspergillus, Thermomyces, and Paecilomyces. Functional genes and enzymes declined sharply after month 1, reached a nadir at month 3, and partially rebounded by month 4. WGCNA identified 16 gene modules associated with storage (maximum r = 0.97, P < 0.01). Cross-feeding patterns were identified among Weissella confusa, Kroppenstedtia eburnea, Saccharopolyspora rectivirgula, and Enterobacteriaceae. The MDOL model revealed cooperative metabolic roles among Actinomycetota, Bacillota, Ascomycota, and Mucoromycota in converting raw materials into flavor compounds. CONCLUSION: These findings improve the understanding of microecological dynamics during daqu storage and provide a theoretical basis for regulating and optimizing the fermentation process during the storage period.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jare.2025.09.052","authors":["Shiyuan Ma","Yong Li","Cong Chen","Yi Dong","Ping Huang","Rongkun Tu","Xiaogang Liu","Rongqing Zhou","Chongde Wu"],"tags":["Ecological succession","Fermentation","Biology","Microbial population biology","Process (computing)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-27","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jare.2025.09.052","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404578035","name":"Simple indices of infarct size post ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) provides similar risk stratification to cardiac MRI","source":"openalex","abstract":"INTRODUCTION: Myocardial Infarct Size (IS) determined soon after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has prognostic significance, and can be assessed by cardiac biomarker levels, electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters, and imaging modalities (including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [CMRI]).

RESULTS: Of 233 patients undergoing early CMRI after STEMI, 211 patients (86% male; 54% anterior MI) had first STEMIs, median age 56 years [interquartile range 50-64], of whom 165 (78%) underwent primary PCI and 46 (22%) pharmaco-invasive PCI. Ejection fraction improved from 48% [42-54] acutely to 52% [44-60] at 2 months (p< 0.05). Plateau phase hsTnT levels, QRS scoring and CMRI-determined IS post-STEMI correlated for anterior MIs (all comparisons r>0.4, p<0.01); highest tertiles of these 3 parameters predicted 24 month MACE (log-rank <0.01). Multi-variable binary logistic regression analysis showed 72h hsTnT levels predicted 24-month MACE (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: Post-PCI treatment of STEMI, hsTnT levels measured ≥48h and Selvester QRS scoring correlated with CMRI-determined IS. These parameters predicted MACE at 24 months and should be routinely assessed for post-STEMI risk stratification.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0311157","authors":["Lokesh Sharma","A.

While the circularity strategies for concrete, which is the most widely used construction material, are well known, there is a paucity of research about their practical implementation for end-of-life (EOL) management of concrete structures. In this study, a novel performance-based decision support framework named ‘CirCrete’ is proposed to facilitate a holistic approach for integrating the circular economy strategies for EOL management of whole concrete structures. The core of the framework is based on three broad circularity strategies that include: refurbishing, remanufacturing, and recycling. A set of indicators developed from a sustainability perspective are integrated in the framework to facilitate the comparative evaluation of the different circularity strategies for concrete. An Excel spreadsheet is provided to illustrate the utility of CirCrete. The applicability of the framework is demonstrated in two case studies exemplifying the three circularity strategies for EOL management of concrete. The first case study considers a hypothetical UK office building that demonstrate the application of CirCrete when adopting remanufacture or recycling/landfilling route, with the consideration of eight different scenarios. The second case study presented is based on an actual refurbishment project in the UK to demonstrate the application of CirCrete when implementing a refurbishment route. The results obtained highlighted the capabilities of CirCrete in providing optimal solution for EOL management of concrete and a classification system developed for rating circularity. • A novel systematic decision-making workflow integrating circularity strategies is proposed. • The workflow was applied to two case studies to demonstrate applicability of the framework. • In a new build scenario repair and reuse supersedes recycling, and landfilling. • Clear economic and environmental advantages of refurbishment over new construction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2024.115232","authors":["Donald Chimobi Nwonu","Irene Josa","Susan A.

Specifically, we propose an additional function for the environmental state of ‘market creation’ – accepting the process by which environmental states operate ex post facto ownership positions in already-existing energy markets for fossil fuel commodities – but also identifying it can use its power and agency in an ex ante fashion to create entirely new markets for renewable energy. In historicizing the environmental state, we show that whilst ex ante actions to create markets for renewable energy are not necessarily new, it has yet to be identified conceptually, and through a case study of the United Kingdom (UK) and the creation of a new national market for renewable energy we seek to demonstrate the conceptual value of a proposed new function of market creation for the environmental state. Beginning in the 1989 Electricity Act, market creation by the UK environmental state has proceeded through various reforms such as the introduction of Renewable Obligation Certificates (RoC) in 2002 to Contracts for Difference (CfD) in 2013, continuing in efforts in the 2020s to create markets this time for low carbon hydrogen.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/10245294251346944","authors":["James Silverwood","James Jackson"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Kingdom","State (computer science)","Business","Natural resource economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1177/10245294251346944","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4327945462","name":"Development of world oil refining in the context of the coronavirus pandemic","source":"openalex","abstract":"The article is devoted to the analysis of the changes that are taking place in the global oil refining industry under the influence of the current recession in the world economy.

Only 12% of terminally ill patients receive PC in these areas. In Palestine, where cancer is the third leading cause of death, PC services are still emerging. This study aims to address the gap in understanding healthcare professionals' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding PC in Palestinian oncology hospitals, aiming to inform policy development for integrating comprehensive PC into the healthcare system. METHODS: This prospective, cross-sectional, correlational quantitative study assessed the KAP of Palestinian physicians and nurses toward PC. Data were collected between December 2021 and January 2022 from seven oncology hospitals in the West Bank using a validated questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS.28, involved descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, independent t-tests, chi-square, and Pearson correlation to identify significant relationships between subgroups. RESULTS: Out of 181 responses, 168 were analyzed. Participants had a mean age of 32.2 years and an average of 8.23 years of experience. Males represented 64.3% of the sample, and 75% were nurses. Only 24.4% had received PC training. Knowledge scores averaged 78.19% (14.86 out of 19), while attitudes toward terminally ill patients had a mean score of 83.4% (64.32 out of 80). Practice scores averaged 70.67% (38.87 out of 55), with significant associations found between practice scores and variables such as department, hospital type, and training. Notably, knowledge was positively associated with age and experience, and attitude scores were linked to training and department. A significant positive relationship was observed between knowledge and attitude and between attitude and practice, but not between knowledge and practice.

This study develops and validates a novel multi-scale Digital Twin (DT) framework integrating Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to address these challenges through real-time optimization. The framework combines molecular dynamics, process simulation, computational fluid dynamics, and deep learning to enable real-time predictive control. A key innovation is the sequential training algorithm with domain decomposition, specifically designed to handle the nonlinear transport equations governing CO2 absorption with enhanced convergence properties. The algorithm achieves prediction errors below 1% for key process variables (R2 > 0.98) when validated against CFD simulations across 500 test cases. Experimental validation against pilot-scale absorber data (12 m packing, 30 wt% MEA) confirms good agreement with measured profiles, including temperature (RMSE = 1.2 K), CO2 loading (RMSE = 0.015 mol/mol), and capture efficiency (RMSE = 0.6%). The trained surrogate enables computational speedups of up to four orders of magnitude, supporting real-time inference with response times below 100 ms suitable for closed-loop control. Under the conditions studied, the framework demonstrates reboiler duty reductions of 18.5% and operational cost reductions of approximately 31%. Sensitivity analysis identifies liquid-to-gas ratio and MEA concentration as the most influential parameters, with mechanistic explanations linking these to mass transfer enhancement and reaction kinetics. Techno-economic assessment indicates favorable investment metrics, though results depend on site-specific factors. The framework architecture is designed for extensibility to alternative solvent systems, with future work planned for industrial-scale validation and uncertainty quantification through Bayesian approaches.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr14030462","authors":["Mansour Almuwallad"],"tags":["Computer science","Model predictive control","Artificial neural network","Process (computing)","Sensitivity (control systems)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr14030462","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403761380","name":"Determination and Application of Stress States Based on Finite Element Techniques: A Case Study of the Longmaxi Formation in the Luzhou Block, Sichuan Basin","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Knowledge of the present-day in situ stress field (PIS) has important theoretical and practical significance for shale gas exploration and development. The Wufeng–Longmaxi Formation in the Luzhou Block serves as the main reservoir of marine shale production in southern China. However, there is no clear understanding of PIS in the Luzhou area, which leads to a series of production problems. To investigate the PIS of deep shale reservoirs in Luzhou, experimental and finite element methods (FEMs) were used. Data obtained from imaging logging data, well deviation data, multipole array acoustic logging (XMAC), and world stress map were used to determine the orientation of the horizontal maximum principal stress ( S H max ). Additionally, acoustic emission experiments were employed to determine the magnitude of three principal stresses. Based on FEM, with the stress of a single well as a constraint, a three-dimensional (3D) stress field model was developed. The results show that the orientation of S H max varies from 90 to 120 °E. Further, there are significant differences in stress regimes across the region, with strike-slip/reverse faulting stress regime ( S H max > S v ≈ S h min ) in the northern region and strike-slip stress regime in the southern region ( S H max > S v > S h min ). In addition, geomechanical evaluations of wellbore stability and natural activation of fractures were performed. The Luzhou Block mainly develops two groups of natural fractures (NE–SW trending and NW–SE trending), with NW–SE trending being the dominant fracture development orientation. During the fracturing operation, a pore pressure increment larger than 50 MPa is conducive to maintaining a high opening ratio of the reservoir and improving the gas production efficiency. Horizontal wells drilled in the direction of maximum horizontal principal stress in the Wufeng–Longmaxi Formation reduce the probability of wellbore instability. The research results provide a reference for the effective development of deep shale gas reservoirs in southern Sichuan.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.4c05260","authors":["Zhaoyi Liu","Hanzhuo Cui","Lingling Han","Lidong Hou","Jinsong Bai","Changhao Wang","Hongming Zhan"],"tags":["Finite element method","Block (permutation group theory)","Stress (linguistics)","Structural basin","Structural engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.4c05260","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415699686","name":"Investigation of the CO2 adsorption isotherms on activated carbon by statistical physics treatment","source":"openalex","abstract":"The aim of this paper was to study CO2 adsorption on the activated carbon (AC) prepared from olive waste.

We analyzed sequencing data from 805,249 participants in the NIH All of Us Research Program (AoU), Vanderbilt’s BioVU repository, and UK Biobank (UKB). Genetic mutations, laboratory values, and MN diagnoses were included in survival analyses to determine predictors of cytopenia in individuals with CHIP and matched controls. The cohort contained 9,374 CHIP cases and 24,749 controls. Cytopenia occurred in 13.5% of cases and 11.6% of controls (HR = 1.17, 95% confidence interval: 1.10 – 1.25, P=2.5 × 10 −6 ). Cytopenia risk factors included smoking, male sex, variant allele frequency ≥ 0.20, age ≥ 65, mean corpuscular volume ≥ 100 femtoliters, red cell distribution width ≥ 15%, mutations in high-risk CHIP genes, and ≥ 2 CHIP mutations. In BioVU, 45% of participants with ≥ 4 risk factors progressed to cytopenia within two years. Individuals with CHIP and cytopenia progressed to MN at a rate of ~2% per year, compared to <0.1% per year for those without cytopenia. Longitudinal analysis across three cohorts demonstrated an increased risk of cytopenia in CHIP patients and identified those at highest risk.

A HapImmune antibody, R023, recognizes multiple sotorasib-conjugated KRAS(G12C) peptides presented by different human leukocyte antigens (HLAs). This high specificity to sotorasib, coupled with broad HLA-binding capability, enables such antibodies, when reformatted as T cell engagers, to potently and selectively kill sotorasib-resistant KRAS(G12C) cancer cells expressing different HLAs upon sotorasib treatment. The loosening of HLA restriction could increase the patient population that can benefit from this therapeutic approach. To understand the molecular basis for its unconventional binding capability, we used single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structures of R023 bound to multiple sotorasib–peptide conjugates presented by different HLAs. R023 forms a pocket for sotorasib between the V H and V L domains, binds HLAs in an unconventional, angled way, with V L making most contacts with them, and makes few contacts with the peptide moieties. This binding mode enables the antibody to accommodate different hapten–peptide conjugates and to adjust its conformation to different HLAs presenting hapten–peptides. Deep mutational scanning validated the structures and revealed distinct levels of mutation tolerance by sotorasib- and HLA-binding residues. Together, our structural information and sequence landscape analysis reveal key features for achieving MHC-restricted recognition of multiple hapten–peptide antigens, which will inform the development of next-generation therapeutic antibodies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2319029121","authors":["Lorenzo Maso","Epsa Rajak","Injin Bang","Akiko Koide","Takamitsu Hattori","Benjamin G.

Previous research using single-cell transcriptome analysis identified TGFBI as a crucial marker for the partial-epithelial-mesenchymal transition (partial-EMT) program. However, the precise role of TGFBI in HNSCC progression remains unclear. Therefore, our study aimed to clarify the impact of TGFBI on the malignant behavior of HNSCC cells. Through RNA-sequencing data from the TCGA database, we validated that increased TGFBI expression correlates with a higher occurrence of lymph node metastasis and unfavorable prognosis in HNSCC cases. Functional experiments demonstrated that TGFBI overexpression enhances the ability of sphere formation, indicating stem-cell-like properties. Conversely, TGFBI depletion reduces sphere formation and suppresses the expression of cancer stem cell (CSC) markers. RNA-sequencing analysis of TGFBI-overexpressing and control HNSCC cells revealed TAGLN as a downstream effector mediating TGFBI-induced sphere formation. Remarkably, TAGLN depletion abolished TGFBI-induced sphere formation, while its overexpression rescued the suppressed sphere formation caused by TGFBI depletion. Moreover, elevated TAGLN expression showed correlations with the expression of TGFBI and partial-EMT-related genes in HNSCC cases. In conclusion, our findings suggest that TGFBI may promote CSC properties through the upregulation of TAGLN. These novel insights shed light on the involvement of the TGFBI-TAGLN axis in HNSCC progression and hold implications for the development of targeted therapies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-57478-0","authors":["Motoharu Sarubo","Yasuhiro Mouri","Akira Moromizato","Azusa Yamada","Shengjan Jin","Wenhua Shao","Hiroko Hagita","Keiko Miyoshi","Yasusei Kudo"],"tags":["TGFBI","Head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma","Cancer research","Epithelial–mesenchymal transition","Downregulation and upregulation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-57478-0","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4394572493","name":"Common mistakes and evidence-based approaches in goals-of-care conversations for seriously ill older adults in cardiac care unit","source":"openalex","abstract":"For older adults with serious, life-limiting illnesses near the end of life, clinicians frequently face difficult decisions about the medical care they provide because of clinical uncertainty.

The results of the study are as follows: (1) Technological synergy and technological heterogeneity have a significant role in promoting the diffusion of green energy technological innovation, but when technological heterogeneity is too high, it is difficult for the two parties to find more common interests and areas of technological interaction, and the cooperative innovation will be turned into an empty shell that has a name but no reality.

A search using a combination of keywords and MeSH terms related to “breaking bad news” and “health professionals” was performed in PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, EBSCO, ERIC via Embase, and Dar Almandumah (Arabic) databases. Common themes were synthesized from studies conducted in the WHO’s Eastern Mediterranean Region. Results Out of 4,883 studies initially identified in the databases, 24 studies met the inclusion criteria, involving a total of 4,710 participants, including physicians, nurses, and residents. The studies were published between 2006 and 2022, predominantly from Iran ( n = 12). The majority employed a cross-sectional design ( n = 21) or mixed methods ( n = 3), with a notable absence of qualitative studies. No studies used theoretical frameworks. More than half of the studies ( n = 14) reported that participants had positive attitudes toward breaking bad news. This positivity was evident in their willingness to share bad news, perceived possession of adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, having received training, awareness of accepted approaches, and adherence to protocols. The lack of training and limited awareness of established protocols like SPIKES, ABCDE, and BREAKS for breaking bad news were major concerns among participants. Conclusion The scoping review reveals both positive and negative experiences of breaking bad news by health professionals in the WHO’s Eastern Mediterranean Region. Most studies highlight the need for culturally sensitive targeted education and training programs on breaking bad news. Further research, particularly using qualitative methodologies and theoretical frameworks is warranted.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmed.2024.1440867","authors":["Abdulla Ahmad A. A.

Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a well-described complication of AOSD, leading to a high mortality rate. Herein, we describe a case of AOSD complicated by MAS in a 32-year-old male presenting with atypical clinical manifestations, including recurrent seizures, scaly, pruritic, and hyperpigmented rash, and right heart failure due to lymphocytic myocarditis. The patient exhibited a delayed onset of fever, leukocytosis, and transaminitis that initially deterred eligibility for Yamaguchi criteria for AOSD. Bone marrow and lymph node biopsies did not show malignancy, infection, or hemophagocytosis. However, soluble interleukin-2 receptor alpha or soluble CD-25 was elevated. The patient experienced significant improvement on combination therapy of anakinra, methotrexate, and stress-dose steroids. HScore was later indicative of a high probability for MAS. Outpatient management involved prednisone, cyclosporine, and canakinumab for MAS. Seizure and myocarditis are possible presenting features of atypical AOSD. Early recognition of non-criteria AOSD and MAS and prompt initiation of therapy may prevent mortality.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.52635","authors":["Anh N.

In this study, an evaluation system of energy ecological security was established based on the pressure–state–response (PSR) model to assess dynamically the coupling coordination degree of China’s energy ecological security during 2015–2024. Results show that the system coordination degree increased from “on the verge of imbalance” (D = 0.428) to “primary coordination” (D = 0.664) but dropped back to 0.5 = 463 in 2024 due to the impact of international energy crisis, which reflected insufficient system resilience. The research findings reveal that the response subsystem (e.g., the carbon market coverage reached 54% and the CCUS technology promotion rate grew by 4 times) was the key to elevating the coordination degree, but development was still restricted by the rigid constraint of coal consumption (weight: 15.46%) and the hysteresis of ecological restoration (e.g., the treatment rate of land subsidence was only 35%). After 2019, the weight of the response subsystem exceeded 30%, and the state improvement speed (+2.3%) transcended the pressure deterioration speed (-1.8%); the system became stable, which verified the existence of the Chinese “policy-driven” environment Kuznets curve. Nevertheless, the decline of coordination rate in 2024 manifests that external impacts can hardly be addressed by single administrative means, but establishing a complex governance system of “elastic coal regulation–dynamic matching of ecological restoration–international carbon price linkage” is necessary. In the follow-up study, the ecological risk assessment of nonfossil energy should be deepened and policy coordination should be strengthened to facilitate energy ecological security to develop toward high-quality coordination (D = 0.8).

As such, this study aimed to explore the experiences of Iranian nurses regarding the delegation of care. METHODS: This qualitative study was conducted between 2022 and 2023, employing the content analysis method with a conventional approach. The study utilized purposeful sampling method to select qualified participants. Data collection was carried out through in-depth and semi-structured interviews utilizing open-ended questions. The data analysis process followed the steps proposed by Graneheim and Lundman (2004) and involved the use of MAXQDA version 12 software. To ensure the trustworthiness of the data, the study employed the four rigor indices outlined by Lincoln and Guba (1985). RESULTS: In the present study, a total of 15 interviews were conducted with 12 participants, the majority of whom were women. The age range of the participants fell between 25 and 40 years. Through qualitative data analysis, eight subcategories and three main categories of \"insourcing of care\", \"outsourcing of care\" and \"delegating of care to non-professionals\" were identified. Additionally, the overarching theme that emerged from the analysis was \"delegation of care, a double-edged sword\". CONCLUSIONS: The results of the study revealed that the delegation of care occurred through three distinct avenues: to colleagues within the same unit, to colleagues in other units, and to non-professionals. Delegating care was found to have potential benefits, such as reducing the nursing workload and fostering teamwork. However, it was also observed that in certain instances, delegation was not only unhelpful but also led to missed nursing care. Therefore, it is crucial to adhere to standardized principles when delegating care to ensure the maintenance of high-quality nursing care.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-024-11054-4","authors":["Tayebeh Moradi","Mahboubeh Rezaei","Negin Masoudi Alavi"],"tags":["Nursing","Delegation","Qualitative research","Nursing research","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-024-11054-4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403303580","name":"Machine learning for predicting device-associated infection and 30-day survival outcomes after invasive device procedure in intensive care unit patients","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study aimed to preliminarily develop machine learning (ML) models capable of predicting the risk of device-associated infection and 30-day outcomes following invasive device procedures in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The study utilized data from 8574 ICU patients who underwent invasive procedures, sourced from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV version 2.2 database. Patients were allocated into training and validation datasets in a 7:3 ratio. Seven ML models were employed for predicting device-associated infections, while five models were used for predicting 30-day survival outcomes. Model performance was primarily evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for infection prediction and the survival model's concordance index (C-index). Top-performing models progressively reduced the number of variables based on their importance, thereby optimizing practical utility. The inclusion of all variables demonstrated that extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) and extra survival trees (EST) models yielded superior discriminatory performance. Notably, when restricted to the top 10 variables, both models maintained performance levels comparable to when all variables were included. In the validation cohort, the XGBoost model, with the top 10 variables, achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.810 (95% CI 0.808-0.812), an area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) of 0.226 (95% CI 0.222-0.230), and a Brier score (BS) of 0.053 (95% CI 0.053-0.054). The EST model, with the top 10 variables, reported a C-index of 0.756 (95% CI 0.754-0.757), a time-dependent AUC of 0.759 (95% CI 0.763-0.775), and an integrated Brier score (IBS) of 0.087 (95% CI 0.087-0.087). Both models are accessible via a web application. The internally evaluated XGBoost and EST models demonstrated exceptional predictive accuracy for device-associated infection risks and 30-day survival outcomes post-invasive procedures in ICU patients. Further validation is required to confirm the clinical utility of these two models in future studies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-74585-0","authors":["Xiang Su","Ling Sun","Xiaogang Sun","Quanguo Zhao"],"tags":["Intensive care unit","Medicine","Computer science","Intensive care medicine","Emergency medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-74585-0","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4395464803","name":"The Future Design of Smart Energy Systems with Energy Flexumers: A Constructive Literature Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"From powering our homes to driving our economies, energy lies at the heart of humanity’s complex challenges in the modern era.

Gas injection for energy supplementation has become an effective way to enhance gas recovery by reducing hydrocarbon saturation in gas reservoirs. This review systematically investigates progress in gas injection for enhanced gas recovery in three aspects: experiments, numerical simulations and field examples. It summarizes and analyzes the current research results on gas injection for EGR and explores further prospects for future research. The research results show the following: (1) Based on the differences in the physical properties of CO2, N2 and natural gas, effective cushion gas can be formed in bottom reservoirs after gas injection to achieve the effects of pressurization, energy replenishment and gravity differentiation water resistance. However, further experimental evaluation is needed for the degree of increase in penetration ability. (2) It is more beneficial to inject N2 before CO2 or the mixture of N2 and CO2 in terms of EGR effect and cost. (3) According to numerical simulation studies, water drive and condensate gas reservoirs exhibit significant recovery effects, while CO2-EGR in depleted gas reservoirs is more advantageous for burial and storage; current numerical simulations only focus on mobility mass and saturation changes and lack a mixed-phase percolation model, which leads to insufficient analysis of injection strategies and a lack of distinction among different gas extraction effects. Therefore, a mixed-phase-driven percolation model that can characterize the fluid flow path is worth studying in depth. (4) The De Wijk and Budafa Szinfelleti projects have shown that gas injection into water drive and depleted reservoirs has a large advantage for EGR, as it can enhance recovery by more than 10%. More experiments, simulation studies and demonstration projects are needed to promote the development of gas injection technology for enhanced recovery in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17071595","authors":["Baicen Lin","Yunsheng Wei","Shusheng Gao","Liyou Ye","Huaxun Liu","Wenqing Zhu","Jianzhong Zhang","Donghuan Han"],"tags":["Current (fluid)","Petroleum engineering","Gas analysis","Environmental science","Engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17071595","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W3213641663","name":"Diversification of gas sources to improve security of supply using an integrated Multiple Criteria Decision Making approach","source":"openalex","abstract":"A robust and resilient gas network is crucial for ensuring supply security and economic growth, which can be achieved by having a diverse, cost-efficient, and sustainable gas supply.

The results are a step further in understanding how the design and composition of the photoelectrodes in photoelectrochemical electrolyzers can impact the CO2 reduction efficiency and selectivity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cssc.202400518","authors":["Yujie Zhao","Ivan Merino‐Garcia","Jonathan Albo","Andreas Kaiser"],"tags":["Carbon fibers","Porosity","Materials science","Gas phase","Zero (linguistics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cssc.202400518","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400657917","name":"Zwitterionic Poly‐Carboxybetaine Polymers Restore Lubrication of Inflamed Articular Cartilage","source":"openalex","abstract":"Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that is associated with decreased synovial fluid viscosity and increased cartilage friction. Though viscosupplements are available for decades, their clinical efficacy is limited and there is ample need for more effective joint lubricants. This study first evaluates the tribological and biochemical properties of bovine articular cartilage explants after stimulation with the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β. This model is then used to investigate the tribological potential of carboxybetaine (CBAA)-based zwitterionic polymers of linear and bottlebrush architecture. Due to their affinity for cartilage tissue, these polymers form a highly hydrated surface layer that decreases friction under high load in the boundary lubrication regime. For linear pCBAA, these benefits are retained over several weeks and the relaxation time of cartilage explants under compression is furthermore decreased, thereby potentially boosting the weeping lubrication mechanism. Bottlebrush bb-pCBAA shows smaller benefits under boundary lubrication but is more viscous than linear pCBAA, therefore providing better lubrication under low load in the fluid-film regime and enabling a longer residence time to bind to the cartilage surface. Showing how CBAA-based polymers restore the lost lubrication mechanisms during inflammation can inspire the next steps toward more effective joint lubricants in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adhm.202401623","authors":["Patrick Weber","Maryam Asadikorayem","Marcy Zenobi‐Wong"],"tags":["Lubrication","Cartilage","Synovial fluid","Tribology","Boundary lubrication"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adhm.202401623","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4392607745","name":"Superconducting Cable Modelling Into Electro- Magnetic Transient Simulation Tool","source":"openalex","abstract":"The European project SCARLET aims to study and realize a demonstrator of a MVDC (Medium Voltage Direct Current) high-power superconducting cable.

Hence we reviewed the outcome of radical debridement and retention of prosthesis using established diagnostic criteria and surgical procedures in relation to significant variables including clinical characteristics, pathogenicity, and antibiotic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 20 patients (11 men and 9 women) with early prosthetic joint infection after unilateral hip arthroplasty, treated by radical debridement with retention of prosthesis from January 2000 to May 2011. Average follow-up period was 55 months (12-178 months). The outcome was evaluated and analyzed based on recurrence of infection and clinical (Harris hip score) and radiological criteria. RESULTS: Pathogens were isolated from 11 hips (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [MRSA] in three, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis [MRSE] in two, methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus [MSSA] in one, Acinetobacter baumannii in two, Enterococcus faecalis in two patients, and Enterococcus, Citrobacter species in one). The mean duration of antibiotic administration was 43.5 days. Recurrence of infection was not observed in any case. Average Harris hip score was 91 points at the last follow-up. Revision surgery was not required for any reason including implant failure. Dislocation occurred in two hips after debridement and was treated conservatively. CONCLUSION: Radical debridement with prosthesis retention is an effective procedure for early prosthetic joint infection after hip arthroplasty in carefully selected patients and with early diagnosis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5371/hp.2014.26.4.227","authors":["Jong Hoon Kim","Sung Kwang Chun","Yong Cheol Yoon","Devendra Lakhotia","Won Yong Shon"],"tags":["Medicine","Surgery","Prosthesis","Periprosthetic","Debridement (dental)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2014-12-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5371/hp.2014.26.4.227","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411066073","name":"Antiplatelet Treatment Strategy in MINOCA Patients: Predictors of Decision Making in Clinical Practice and Prognostic Implications","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background/Objectives: Large clinical trials have established the optimal antiplatelet strategy in the wide spectrum of coronary artery disease. However, data are scarce regarding MINOCA and the aim of our study is to present data from the current clinical practice. Methods: A total of 151 patients were included in this study after exclusion of 27 patients with myocarditis and other diagnoses. A cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) performed at 123/151 patients demonstrated an ischemic pattern of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) confirming the diagnosis of true acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in 42 cases (28%). Based on multimodality imaging and clinical judgement, Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) was diagnosed in 55 patients (36%), whereas CMR failed to reveal abnormal findings in 54 cases (36%), categorized as MINOCA of unknown origin. Results: Regarding antithrombotic prescriptions at discharge, 38% of patients received dual antiplatelet (DAPT) or dual antithrombotic therapy (DAT, 1 antiplatelet plus 1 anticoagulant), 49.7% received single antiplatelet (SAPT) or anticoagulant, and 12% received no antithrombotic treatment. Univariate analysis showed that the likelihood of prescribing DAPT or DAT was associated with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (r = 0.202, p = 0.013), atherosclerotic lesions on coronary angiography (r = 0.303, p < 0.001), prior use of anticoagulants (r = −0.258, p = 0.001), and marginally with the INTERTAK score (r = −0.198, p = 0.044). A multivariable model, adjusted for age, LVEF, ECG abnormalities, and history of anticoagulant use, confirmed the independent association between angiographic evidence of atherosclerosis and the decision for DAPT/DAT (OR: 0.334, 95% CI: 0.307–0.813, p < 0.001). However, the initial treatment decision did not seem to impact 2-year prognosis in our population.

However, studies on its association with in-hospital prognosis in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) remain limited. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between BAR and in-hospital mortality in patients with NSTEMI. Methods: This study included 772 non-diabetic NSTEMI patients. The predictive performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify the independent risk factors of in-hospital mortality. Subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between BAR and in-hospital mortality across different patient subgroups. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) function was applied to examine the nonlinear relationship between BAR and in-hospital mortality, and the two-piecewise logistic regression model was used for threshold effects analysis. Results: A total of 40 patients died during hospitalization. BAR exhibited strong predictive performance for in-hospital mortality (AUC = 0.83; 95% CI: 0.77-0.89). Multivariate analysis indicated that BAR was an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality (OR = 1.06; 95% CI: 1.01-1.12), with a significant increase in mortality risk observed in most subgroups as BAR increased. A nonlinear relationship with a saturation effect was observed between BAR and in-hospital mortality (P for non-linearity = 0.002), with an inflection point of 8.51. Further two-piecewise logistic regression analysis revealed that when BAR was <8.51, the risk of in-hospital mortality increased significantly (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.16-2.53), whereas when BAR was ≥8.51, the association was not statistically significant (OR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.92-1.06). Conclusion: Baseline BAR serves as a simple, clinically useful prognostic biomarker of in-hospital mortality in non-diabetic NSTEMI patients.

In this perspective, we critically examine cutting-edge innovations in SSE devices with particular emphasis on the architectural introduction of core cell components, novel electrochemical cell configurations, and assembly methodologies. The use of SSE reactors is presently undergoing a pivotal transition from fundamental laboratory investigations to large-scale engineering implementations, demonstrating remarkable progress in multiple domains: (1) sustainable synthesis of high-value organic acids (formic and acetic acids), (2) production of critical oxidizers hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and liquid fuels (ethanol), (3) ammonia (NH 3 ) production, (4) carbon capture technologies, (5) lithium recovery and recycling, and (6) tandem or coupling strategies for high-value-added products. Importantly, the transformative potential in environmental remediation, particularly for airborne pollutant sequestration and advanced wastewater purification, is addressed.

From the findings, it was concluded that FinTech has a positive impact on the energy-growth-environment nexus. Similar to FinTech, technological innovation also has favourable influence on the energy-growth-environment nexus. Finally, there exist positive influence of energy on growth and environment, whereas rising carbon emissions exerts negative influence on growth and renewable energy consumption.

Enhancing nurses’ clinical capability in this area is crucial for safety and quality care. Multimedia-based education offers an effective, flexible approach to improve learning and adherence to safety protocols. This study aimed to determine the effect of multimedia-based education on nurses’ clinical capability in radiation protection in operating rooms. METHODS: This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 100 operating room nurses from two hospitals affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences between June and December 2024. Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 50) and control (n = 50) groups. The intervention group received a two-week multimedia-based educational program on radiation protection via WhatsApp, while the control group received routine hospital training. Primary outcomes included clinical capability assessed through a validated questionnaire covering knowledge, attitude, performance, and personal commitment, measured at baseline, one month, and two months post-intervention. RESULTS: After the intervention, the intervention group showed significant improvements in all dimensions of clinical capability, including knowledge, attitude, performance, and personal commitment, compared to the control group. Clinical capability scores at one and two months post-intervention were significantly higher in the intervention group (all p < 0.001). The effect sizes ranged from 0.79 to 2.73, indicating large effects. ANCOVA analysis revealed a significant interaction between group and time (F = 32.8, p < 0.001), confirming that the improvements over time were greater in the intervention group than the control group after adjusting for baseline values. CONCLUSION: Therefore, we recommend implementing multimedia-based education to enhance clinical capability in radiation protection among operating room nurses.

This paper presents a new method and workflow of modeling fault activation considering more complex three-dimensional geometry of natural faults using the TOUGH-FLAC multiphase fluid flow and geomechanical simulator. In this method and workflow, FLAC3D mechanical interfaces and TOUGH3 finite volume elements are discretized using computer aided design and gridding software along with a tailored mesh translation routine. The method and workflow are demonstrated with a model of a curved minor fault embedded in a poro-elastic layered reservoir-caprock system. The model is used for a comprehensive sensitivity analysis of fault responses to fault length, injection mass rate, injection schedule, well-fault distance, and well locations versus fault location. Four metrics (CO 2 plume, shear state of fault, pressure and stress path at fault monitoring points) are selected to assess CO 2 migration, pressure change, and the reactivation of faults. The results reveal that CO 2 can bypass around the tip of the minor impermeable fault, building up pressure and poro-elastic stress on both sides that tends to impede fault rupture. Our study shows the benefit of carefully designing the injection to achieve the targeted final storage volume, starting at a relatively low rate for considerable time, and then ramping up the injection rate to the full rate of injection. The initial low injection has two distinct benefits: (1) it allows for the formation of an extensive CO 2 plume with a much higher mobility through a low viscosity that will result in a lower pressure for a given injection rate, and (2) it allows for gradual build-up of horizontal poro-elastic stress within the reservoir that will tend to impede activation of steeply dipping faults. The injection scenario starting at a low injection rate, denoted here as conservative injection, can significantly reduce the risk of fault activation as high fluid mobility and reservoir strengthening poro-elastic stress has been established long before reaching the peak injection rates. Moreover, simultaneous injection in two injection wells on both sides of fault can provide further reservoir strengthening through poro-elastic stress buildup acting on a fault under normal faulting stress regime. The findings presented in the paper can provide practical and effective guidance on long-term, safe, and reliable geological CO 2 storage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijrmms.2025.106185","authors":["Meng Cao","Jonny Rutqvist","Yves Guglielmi","Abdullah Cihan","Stanislav Glubokovskikh","Preston Jordan","Matthew T.

RECENT FINDINGS: Most studies exploring the microbiome in anxiety disorders are small, cross-sectional studies. Nevertheless, some consistent findings emerge. Bacterial taxa such as Eubacterium, Coprococcus and Faecalibacterium may be depleted in GAD.

Mesenchymal stem cells-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSCs-sEVs) are attractive candidates for ovarian function restoration and folliculogenesis for POF due to their safety and efficacy, however, the key mediator in MSCs-sEVs that modulates this response and underlying mechanisms remains elusive. Herein, we reported that YB-1 protein was markedly downregulated in vitro and in vivo models of POF induced with H2O2 and CTX respectively, accompanied by granulosa cells (GCs) senescence phenotype. Notably, BMSCs-sEVs transplantation upregulated YB-1, attenuated oxidative damage-induced cellular senescence in GCs, and significantly improved the ovarian function of POF rats, but that was reversed by YB-1 depletion. Moreover, YB-1 showed an obvious decline in serum and GCs in POF patients. Mechanistically, YB-1 as an RNA-binding protein (RBP) physically interacted with a long non-coding RNA, MALAT1, and increased its stability, further, MALAT1 acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to elevate FOXO3 levels by sequestering miR-211-5p to prevent its degradation, leading to repair of ovarian function. In summary, we demonstrated that BMSCs-sEVs improve ovarian function by releasing YB-1, which mediates MALAT1/miR-211-5p/FOXO3 axis regulation, providing a possible therapeutic target for patients with POF.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10565-024-09871-8","authors":["Mengxue Zhang","Jie Xing","Shijie Zhao","Minjun Lu","Yueqin Liu","Lin Li","Wujiang Gao","Lu Chen","Wenxin Li","Junyu Shang","Jiamin Zhou","Xinming Yin","Xiaolan Zhu"],"tags":["MALAT1","Competing endogenous RNA","FOXO3","Premature ovarian failure","Downregulation and upregulation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10565-024-09871-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4393870746","name":"Is Greece Ready for a Hydrogen Energy Transition?—Quantifying Relative Costs in Hard to Abate Industries","source":"openalex","abstract":"During the past few years, hydrogen use has come to be considered as an alternative energy carrier in a future decarbonized world.

Traditional national health Qigong, represented by Baduanjin, has attracted a large number of young practitioners. Against the backdrop of digital media, this study explores the motivation for young people's engagement with online Baduanjin, their emotional responses, and the subsequent behavioral paths of practice from a youth perspective, aiming to explain the reasons behind the “revival trend” of Baduanjin among young groups. Methods Based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) theoretical framework, this study adopts an inductive qualitative content analysis approach, focusing on young practitioners. Keywords were searched on Bilibili, a social media video platform, yielding 39,410 Baduanjin-related comments. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 practitioners aged 18–28. The comments and interview data were coded separately for triangulation and presented jointly in the results section. Results By collecting and analyzing Bilibili comments on Baduanjin videos and interview transcripts from practitioners, a theoretical model centered on the core category “young users' participation in online Baduanjin practice” was constructed. Practitioners' participation is mainly driven by two core dimensions: (1) Baduanjin content-related factors: perceived benefits, practicality and credibility, practice risks, and multi-dimensional comparison, which are partially associated with cultural familiarity; (2) Platform and external context-related factors: platform affordances, academic stress stimuli, celebrity influence, and social support. Emotional attitudes are formed after attempting practice and are positively correlated with practitioners' expectations of Baduanjin's effects. Subsequent practice behaviors exhibit three trajectories: sustained practice, abandonment, and resumption after suspension. Conclusion This study argues that against the backdrop of social media platforms serving as a social infrastructure, young users' participation in online Baduanjin is a process jointly driven by content characteristics, platform cues, and contextual factors. Through changes in emotions and self-efficacy, this process ultimately leads to diverse participation behaviors. As a traditional national fitness activity with cultural resonance and social adaptability, Baduanjin provides valuable theoretical implications for promoting sustainable health behaviors among modern people. It can serve as a carrier of traditional Chinese “health-preserving” cultural knowledge, facilitating the effective dissemination of national fitness activities.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fcomm.2025.1715030","authors":["J.

In this way, a denser and thicker surface film is formed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/coatings15010093","authors":["Tihomir Borko","Gordana Bilić","Katarina Žbulj","Helena Otmačić Ćurković"],"tags":["Brine","Imidazoline receptor","Corrosion","Carbon steel","Joint (building)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/coatings15010093","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4392191647","name":"HS3 as a novel solvent for carbon capture: Model validation and an industrial case study with comparison against 30 wt% MEA","source":"openalex","abstract":"CO2 capture is currently the most mature technological solution to reduce the environmental footprint of several emitters. However, the characterization of innovative blends with reduced energy demand and environmental impact is nowadays a challenge to increase the profitability and deployment of carbon capture on an industrial scale. This work investigates an innovative non-proprietary amine blend, called HS3. This article presents the development of a full model (including thermodynamics, kinetics, and mass transfer) and its validation with pilot-scale data covering temperature, CO2 concentration, and capture rate ranges of interest for industrial applications. The model predicts the main process Key Performance Indicators, such as CO2 captured, stripped flow, and cycling capacity, with deviations from the measurements lower than 7%. Then, the validated model is exploited for sizing and designing a carbon capture process from the flue gas generated at oil refinery. A special focus is devoted to energy integration and process optimization by means of a sensitivity analysis. Eventually, HS3 performances are compared to benchmark MEA in terms of energy requirements and unit operation sizing for the same case study. Results show that HS3 can reduce the specific reboiler duty (MJ/kg CO2 captured) and the required solvent flow per unit of flue gas (kg/kg) by 21% and 19%, respectively. Examples of comprehensive models developed starting from lab-scale testing up to the validation on a pilot scale are still limited in the literature. The validation in a semi-industrial pilot is needed to fully understand the solvent properties including, for instance, drawbacks which cannot be detected on a small scale. Needless to mention, reliable models are needed for consistent scale-up, techno-economic assessment, and LCA analysis. Thus, this present presents a model validation using semi-industrial pilot data and measurements, which is not common in the literature.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.141394","authors":["Matteo Gilardi","Filippo Bisotti","Hanna K.

There is a critical need to develop statistical methods to evaluate the drivers of toxic effects in chemical mixtures (i.e., bad actors) from exposure studies. Here, we develop a hierarchical modeling framework to disentangle the toxicity of complex metal mixtures from a screening study of 92 drinking well water samples containing multiple metal elements from Maine and New Hampshire, USA. In order to screen for neurodevelopmental impacts from exposure to these drinking water samples, we use a larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) behavioral assay. Zebrafish are an advantageous toxicological model organism due to combining the complexity of a vertebrate organism and higher-throughput exposure methods. We formulate a linear mixed modeling approach that captures intrinsic complexity in a common larval behavioral assay in order to improve its sensitivity and rigor and identify drivers of behavioral toxicity from the metal mixtures within the drinking water samples. Our analysis identifies lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), barium (Ba), and uranium (U) as metals that consistently impact larval locomotor activity, individually and across nine pairs of those metals. Our model also elucidates three distinct clusters of metal mixture components that drive behavioral effects: (Ba:Cu:U), (Ni:Pb:U), (Ba:Pb:U). Having identified a set of \"bad-actor\" metals from the water samples, we conduct exposure experiments for each individual metal (Pb, Cd, Ni, Cu, and Ba) at levels considered safe by the US Environmental Protection Agency drinking water regulatory limits and validate Pb, Ni, Cu, and Ba as behavioral toxicants at these concentrations. Collectively, our modeling approach estimates the impact of metal elements on a complex behavioral outcome in a statistically robust manner and establishes an approach to capture \"bad actors\" and key chemical interactions in a complex mixture.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.117296","authors":["Kanchana Rk Dilrukshi","Ilaria R Merutka","Melissa Chernick","Stephanie Rohrbach","Remy Babich","Niroshan Withanage","Pani W.

Despite their shared global healthcare burden and impact, the clinical phenotypes, genomic predisposition, drug causality, and treatment outcomes may vary. We describe the establishment and results from the first Australasian registry for SCAR (AUS-SCAR), that via a collaborative network advances strategies for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of SCAR. Methods Prospective multi-center registry of SCAR in Australian adult and adolescents, with planned regional expansion. The registry collects externally verified phenotypic data drug causality, therapeutics and long-term patient outcomes. In addition, biorepository specimens and DNA are collected at participating sites. Results we report on the first 100 patients enrolled in the AUS-SCAR database. DRESS (50%) is the most predominant phenotype followed by SJS/TEN (39%) and AGEP (10%), with median age of 52 years old (IQR 37.5, 66) with 1:1 male-to-female ratio. The median latency for all implicated drugs is highly variable but similar for DRESS (median 15 days IQR 5,25) and SJS/TEN (median 21 days, IQR 7,27), while lowest for AGEP (median 2.5 days, IQR 1,8). Antibiotics (54.5%) are more commonly listed as primary implicated drug compare with non-antibiotics agent (45.5%). Mortality rate at 90 days was highest in SJS/TEN at 23.1%, followed by DRESS (4%) and AGEP (0%). Conclusion In the first prospective national phenotypic and biorepository of SCAR in the southern hemisphere we demonstrate notable differences to other reported registries; including DRESS-predominant phenotype, varied antibiotic causality and low overall mortality rate.

Quaternary and quinary carrier catalysts promoted with moderate CeO2, ZrO2 in the quaternary (20 % CZCZ) and additionally with CaO (20 % CZCZC) in the quinary catalysts demonstrate high CO2‐conversion ratios (16.2 % and 18.7 %) and space time yields (0.51 and 0.47 gMeOH h−1 gCatalyst−1) at 5 MPa and 250 °C. The high conversion ratios (XCO2) and good methanol space‐time‐yields (STYMeOH) are attributed to enhanced copper dispersion and several multi metal oxide component interactions essential to enhance CO2‐activation and ‐conversion through the catalytic systems as well as very high overall surface area.

This study was designed to assess the efficacy and functional impact of disinfectants in reducing pathogens related to healthcare associated infections (HAIs) in hospitals. METHODS: This observation study was conducted at three university hospitals in Gorgan, Iran, from May to Oct 2023. The data including used disinfectants and microbiological examination were obtained from the infection control unit of each hospital. RESULTS: The results showed that a variety of disinfectants from intermediate to high levels were employed in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) protocols. The microbial result revealed that 31.6% (286 out of 906) of the sample had at least one microorganism. Among identified organisms, Bacillus spp. were the predominant species followed by Staphylococcus epidermis, fungus genera, Enterobacter spp., Enterococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Escherichia coli, Alcaligenes spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Citrobacter spp., Corynebacterium spp., Klebsiella spp., Acinetobacter spp., Micrococcus spp., Staphylococcus saprophyticus, and Serratias spp. The highest prevalence rates of microorganisms were observed in the wards of ICU, emergency, internal medicine, and women's ward. The chi-square test revealed a significant relationship between the presence of organisms and hospital wards (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The presence of pathogens indicates a defect in the disinfection process, probably due to both little attention to disinfection protocols and multidrug resistance. It is not yet possible to eliminate pathogens from the hospital environment, but it can be minimized by education intervention, standardizing disinfecting processes, and monitoring by the infection control committee.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-024-09985-8","authors":["Saeed Golfiroozi","Fateme Fashayi","Abdolhalim Rajabi","Ali Shahryar"],"tags":["Medical microbiology","Parasitology","Tropical medicine","Medicine","Family medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-024-09985-8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4390614492","name":"Gram-Negative ESKAPE Bacteria Surveillance in COVID-19 Pandemic Exposes High-Risk Sequence Types of Acinetobacter baumannii MDR in a Tertiary Care Hospital","source":"openalex","abstract":"The interruption of bacteriological surveillance due to the COVID-19 pandemic brought serious consequences, such as the collapse of health systems and the possible increase in antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to know the rate of resistance and its associated mechanisms in bacteria causing hospital infections during the pandemic. The aim of this work was to show the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of antimicrobial resistance in ESKAPE bacteria in a Mexican tertiary care hospital in the second and third years of the pandemic. For this purpose, during 2021 and 2022, two hundred unduplicated strains of the ESKAPE group (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii) were collected from various clinical sources and categorized by resistance according to the CLSI. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) complemented by the Tukey test was performed to search for changes in antimicrobial susceptibility profiles during the study period. Finally, the mechanisms of resistance involved in carbapenem resistance were analyzed, and the search for efflux pumps and high-risk sequence types in A. baumannii was performed by multilocus analysis (MLST). The results showed no changes in K. pneumoniae resistance during the period analyzed. Decreases in quinolone resistance were identified in E. coli (p = 0.039) and P. aeruginosa (p = 0.03). Interestingly, A. baumannii showed increases in resistance to penicillins (p = 0.004), aminoglycosides (p < 0.001, p = 0.027), carbapenems (p = 0.027), and folate inhibitors (p = 0.001). Several genes involved in carbapenem resistance were identified (blaNDM, blaVIM, blaOXA, blaKPC, blaOXA-40, and blaOXA-48) with a predominance of blaOXA-40 and the adeABCRS efflux pump in A. baumannii. Finally, MLST analysis revealed the presence of globally distributed sequence types (ST369 and ST758) related to hospital outbreaks in other parts of the world. The results presented demonstrate that the ESKAPE group has played an important role during the COVID-19 pandemic as nosocomial antibiotic-resistant pathogens and in particular A. baumannii MDR as a potential reservoir of resistance genes.

In world practice, flue gas cleaning systems for removing nitrogen oxides, sulfur, and ash are successfully used at power facilities but reducing carbon dioxide emissions at thermal power plants is still difficult for technical and economic reasons. Thus, the introduction of carbon dioxide capture systems at modern power plants is accompanied by a decrease in net efficiency by 8–12%, which determines the high relevance of developing methods for increasing the energy efficiency of modern environmentally friendly power units. This paper presents the results of the development and study of the process flow charts of binary and trinary combined-cycle gas turbines with minimal emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere. This research revealed that the net efficiency rate of a binary CCGT with integrated post-combustion technology capture is 39.10%; for a binary CCGT with integrated pre-combustion technology capture it is 40.26%; a trinary CCGT with integrated post-combustion technology capture is 40.35%; and for a trinary combined-cycle gas turbine with integrated pre-combustion technology capture it is 41.62%. The highest efficiency of a trinary CCGT with integrated pre-combustion technology capture is due to a reduction in the energy costs for carbon dioxide capture by 5.67 MW—compared to combined-cycle plants with integrated post-combustion technology capture—as well as an increase in the efficiency of the steam–water circuit of the combined-cycle plant by 3.09% relative to binary cycles.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17225544","authors":["Nikolay Rogalev","Andrey Rogalev","Vladimir Kindra","Olga Zlyvko","Dmitriy Kovalev"],"tags":["Combustion","Natural gas","Process engineering","Environmental science","Combined cycle"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17225544","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4398762682","name":"miRNA-206-3p alleviates LPS-induced acute lung injury via inhibiting inflammation and pyroptosis through modulating TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway","source":"openalex","abstract":"Acute lung injury (ALI) is life-threatening. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are often abnormally expressed in inflammatory diseases and are closely associated with ALI. This study investigates whether miRNA-206-3p attenuates pyroptosis in ALI and elucidates the underlying molecular mechanisms. ALI mouse and cell models were established through lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment for 24 h. Subsequently, the models were evaluated based on ultrasonography, the lung tissue wet/dry (W/D) ratio, pathological section assessment, electron microscopy, and western blotting. Pyroptosis in RAW264.7 cells was then assessed via electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, and western blotting. Additionally, the regulatory relationship between miRNA-206-3p and the Toll-like receptor (TLR)4/nuclear factor (NF)-κB/Nod-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) pathway was verified. Finally, luciferase reporter gene and RNA pull-down assays were used to verify the targeting relationship between miRNA-206-3p and TLR4. miRNA206-3p levels are significantly decreased in the LPS-induced ALI model. Overexpression of miRNA-206-3p improves ALI, manifested as improved lung ultrasound, improved pathological changes of lung tissue, reduced W/D ratio of lung tissue, release of inflammatory factors in lung tissue, and reduced pyroptosis. Furthermore, overexpression of miRNA-206-3p contributed to reversing the ALI-promoting effect of LPS by hindering TLR4, myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88), NF-κB, and NLRP3 expression. In fact, miRNA-206-3p binds directly to TLR4. In conclusion, miRNA-206-3p alleviates LPS-induced ALI by inhibiting inflammation and pyroptosis via TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway modulation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-62733-5","authors":["Meng‐Chi Chen","Jingfeng Zhang","Hongyuan Huang","Z.

However, the potential role of HAP40 in HD pathogenesis remains unknown. In this study, we found that the expression level of HAP40 is in parallel with HTT but inversely correlates with mutant HTT aggregates in mouse brains.

We aimed to evaluate associations between chronic exposures to three key regulated air pollutants, fine particulate matter, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide, and mortality in a nationwide cohort of older patients with breast cancer. METHODS: We constructed a cohort of patients with primary diagnosis of breast cancer aged 65 years or older between 2000 and 2016 using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare database. High-resolution ambient concentrations of annual fine particulate matter, warm-season ozone, and annual nitrogen dioxide were estimated using hybrid models and linked to patients' residential zip codes as proxy exposures. A 3-pollutant Cox model was fitted to estimate hazard ratios for mortality associated with each pollutant, adjusting for demographics, tumor characteristics, cancer treatments, comorbidities, lifestyle factors, meteorological variables, and neighborhood-level characteristics. RESULTS: Among 593 333 patients with breast cancer, a 1-µg/m3 increase in annual fine particulate matter, a 1-part per billion increase in warm-season ozone, and a 1-part per billion increase in annual nitrogen dioxide were associated with hazard ratios for mortality of 1.0048 (95% CI = 1.0026 to 1.0070), 1.0021 (95% CI = 1.0013 to 1.0029), and 1.0022 (95% CI = 1.0014 to 1.0030), respectively. This finding translated to 49 annual excess deaths attributable to fine particulate matter, 21 to ozone, and 22 to nitrogen dioxide within the cohort. Effects were substantially larger at low exposure levels. Fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide had greater effects in younger patients, individuals who received chemotherapy or radiation, and individuals with disease diagnosed at later stages. CONCLUSION: Our findings identified air pollution as a risk factor for mortality in older patients with breast cancer. Protective measures and air pollution control strategies may help reduce exposure and improve outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jnci/djaf217","authors":["Yaguang Wei","Edgar Castro","Kanhua Yin","Min Zhang","Hannah Thompson","Brent A.

Bangladesh's electricity generation from renewable sources is well below the global average, with less than 1% coming from hydropower and less than 1% from solar and wind. Estimating and reducing carbon emissions from gas, coal, and oil generation plants in Bangladesh is a burning issue. The carbon emission factor is used to compute the carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel plants based on their generation capacity, and fuel type. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) framework is used to calculate the carbon emission factor of each fuel type. The paper presents Matpower Interior Point Solver (MIPS), and Dynamic Non-Linear Particle Swarm Optimization (DNPSO) algorithms to solve combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) to optimize generation dispatch and minimize emissions. A practical 14-bus test system in Southern Chattogram, consisting of 132 kV, 230 kV, 400 kV, and 765 kV lines, is constructed. The developed algorithms based on optimal power flow have applied on 14-bus test system and measured optimal dispatch and emissions of the generators and grid. The environmental emission factor is used to combine the economic and emission dispatch. The existing and future coal power plants at Matarbari will release from 1934 ton-CO2 to 4889 ton-CO2 in year 2025 to 2041 with current plant efficiency. The results indicate that enhancing plant efficiency to 47%, the carbon dioxide emissions from coal power plants may be decreased to 15%. Moreover, when CEED is implemented with MIPS and DNPSO, the daily carbon emissions from the 14-bus test system are reduced to 14%, while those from DNPSO decreased to 11% from their original levels. CEED prioritizes more cleaner generators in the system than higher emissions low-cost generators. Furthermore, transmission line losses and grid emissions are lower in economic-emission dispatch compared to economic dispatch.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/access.2025.3586553","authors":["Deepak Kumar Chowdhury","Nur Mohammad","Tanjim Mahmud","Md.

A sequence of over 300 calls in a 2-hour period was identified using the conventional earthquake detection technique of template matching. With these initial detections we then used a robust correlation, and stacking process to estimate the call signatures and timings. Calls were found to be of two distinct types that are typical for fin whales and referred to as doublets. The calls typically alternate between the two types with an inter-call interval of approximately 15 seconds. These sequences pause approximately every 12 minutes for a couple of minutes before recommencing. These breaks are interpreted to be the whale resurfacing to breath. We track the whale’s location over two hours using conventional location methods from time picks derived from a correlation process. This shows that the whale moved eastwards, towards the Pacific coastline, before turning to the south. Coincidentally, during this time frame a large container vessel also traverses the submarine fibre optic cable. The distance between the vessel and the whale ranges between 16 km and 2km at the closest point of approach. The whale initially appears to turn north as the vessel approaches to within 10km of the vessel and then follows an erratic localized track before proceeding in a southward direction away from the vessel. This behaviour may be indicative of an avoidance behaviour. This observation suggests fibre optic acoustic measurement systems could routinely monitor underwater radiated noise from marine traffic and marine mammals using existing seafloor cables to establish typical behavioural patterns.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2025.1603541","authors":["Steve Horne","A.

TDESs demonstrated superior physicochemical characteristics compared to BDESs, including improved solvation and thermal stability. Their applications in biomass conversion, CO2 capture, heavy oil upgrading, refrigeration gases, and as solvents/catalysts in organic reactions show significant promise for enhancing process efficiency and sustainability.

RESULTS: In this study, we purified MreB3, MreB4 and MreB5, and successfully prepared monoclonal antibodies. After S. eriocheiris treated with actin stabilizator Phalloidin and inhibitors A22, we found that Phalloidin and A22 affect the S. eriocheiris morphology by altering MreB expression. We confirmed that the ability of S. eriocheiris to invade E. sinensis was increased after treatment with Phalloidin, including that the morphology of E. sinensis blood lymphocytes was deteriorated, blood lymphocytes viability was decreased, peroxidase activity and cell necrosis were increased.

This leads to reduced or absent ABCA4 protein activity, resulting in toxic metabolite accumulation in the retina and damage of the retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptors. Approximately 21% of all ABCA4 variants that contribute to disease influence ABCA4 pre-mRNA splicing. This emphasizes the need for therapies to restore disrupted ABCA4 splicing and halt STGD1 progression. Previously, QR-1011, an antisense oligonucleotide (AON), successfully corrected splicing abnormalities and restored normal ABCA4 protein translation in human retinal organoids carrying the prevalent disease-causing variant c.5461-10T>C in ABCA4. Here, we investigated whether QR-1011 could also correct splicing in four less common non-canonical splice site (NCSS) variants flanking ABCA4 exon 39: c.5461-8T>G, c.5461-6T>C, c.5584+5G>A and c.5584+6T>C. We administered QR-1011 and three other AONs to midigene-transfected cells and demonstrate that QR-1011 had the most pronounced effect on splicing compared to the others. Moreover, QR-1011 significantly increased full-length ABCA4 transcript levels for c.5461-8T>G and c.5584+6T>C. Splicing restoration could not be achieved in the other two variants, suggesting their more severe effect on splicing. Overall, QR-1011, initially developed for a single ABCA4 variant, exhibited potent splice correction capabilities for two additional severe NCSS variants nearby. This suggests the possibility of a broader therapeutic impact of QR-1011 extending beyond its original target and highlights the potential for treating a larger population of STGD1 patients affected by multiple severe ABCA4 variants with a single AON.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-51203-7","authors":["Melita Kaltak","Petra de Bruijn","Willemijn van Leeuwen","Gerard Platenburg","Frans P.M.

Most of the cardiac emergencies and acute ailments are preferably managed in a specially designed place of a hospital called Coronary Care Unit, which has better facilities of monitoring, care and support. In every day-to-day practice a proportion of diabetic patients need to admit in CCU for different life threatening crisis. For better understanding of such CVD prevalence scenario, we conducted this retrospective observational study. Aim of the Study: Our objective was to assess the pattern and incidence of CVD admitted in CCU with their outcomes among the population using the data from the record book. Methodology: This is a retrospective observational study carried out in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) of BIRDEM Hospital Dhaka Bangladesh from 2017-2019. Total 1069 patients (861 were Diabetic and rest were non diabetic) who were admitted to the CCU of this Institute from 2017-2019 were studied and evaluated to see the pattern of cardiac emergencies in diabetic population. Results: Among 1069 patients, 57.2% were male and 42.8% were female. Majority (80.54%) of them were diabetic. Most of the patients belonged to age 50 years and above. Seven hundred and one (65.57%) patients were admitted due to Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) in different forms. Among the Acute Coronary Syndrome, most prevalent one was NSTEMI (354). Among NSTEMI group, where 50.37% were male and 50.67% were female, 102 patients had Unstable Angina and 73 had STEMI. Eighty nine patients were admitted after intervention (PCI or CABG) and 61 patients had Ischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy (IDCM) due to some complications. Four hundred and twenty patients admitted due to Heart Failure and 137 patients were admitted due to different forms of Shock. Cardiac function was assessed (by Teichholz method and Biplane Simpson's method) among the admitted patients and 57.31% of patients had moderate LV dysfunction, 29.26% had severe systolic dysfunction and remainder 13.43% found to have mild LV systolic dysfunction. Mean hospital stay was assessed and it was found to be gradually declining from 13.33 in 2017 to 9.23 in 2019 (p=0.041*). Outcome of the study population shows that ~ 66% were transfer to general ward or cabin of the department of cardiology after initial stabilization, 17.3% were discharged directly from CCU, and 5.42% patients were transferred to other department after recovery. About 5.5% were become critically ill for which they need to transfer under care of ICU, 2.5% were transfer for intervention (to other institutes according to patient’s economical ability and preference for CABG, Pace maker implantation, PTCI etc.) and 3.3% patients were expired. Conclusion: In this study, incidence of IHD found higher than other cardiac diseases. NSTEMI is about three times more than Unstable Angina and about five times more prevalent than STEMI for the reason of admission in CCU. Diabetes Mellitus was found in majority of the admitted patients in CCU and the number of diabetic population is increasing which may also responsible for leading more coronary heart disease in our country in future. 88.7% of study population was shifted to general ward after initial stabilization after acute crisis, 2.5% required further cardiac intervention and 5.5% become critical and required ICU support. Only 3.3% of total population expired after all possible support.

Автором были выделены главные аспекты четвертого энергоперехода. Они были рассмотрены с точки зрения влияния на климат, а также с глобальной точки зрения (влияния на государства). Главным аспектом в данном исследования является возобновляемая энергетика как ключевой показатель четвертого энергоперехода. Мировая зависимость от энергии не проявляет никаких признаков ослабления. Относительный успех переходных экономик в последние годы в экономической сфере привел к повышению уровня жизни во многих слаборазвитых регионах. Кроме того, как рост населения, так и технологические инновации еще больше увеличили спрос на энергию. Главной целью данного исследования является определение основных аспектов четвертого энергоперехода, а также выявление перспектив развития возобновляемой энергетики. На основе данного исследования автор пришел к выводу, что четвертый энергопереход сопровождается многими глобальными изменениями. В области возобновляемой энергетики на данный момент отсутствуют глобальные инновации, что приводит к усложнению процесса энергоперехода. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that climate change and energy supply are the two most important issues of the 21st century. The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere enhances the natural greenhouse effect, causing global warming and accelerated sea level rise. The author highlighted the main aspects of the fourth energy transition. They were considered in terms of their impact on the climate, as well as from a global point of view (impact on states). The main aspect in this study is renewable energy as a key indicator of the fourth energy transition. The world's dependence on energy shows no signs of abating. The relative success of transition economies in recent years in the economic sphere has led to an increase in living standards in many underdeveloped regions. In addition, both population growth and technological innovation have further increased the demand for energy. The main purpose of this study is to identify the main aspects of the fourth energy transition, as well as to identify the prospects for the development of renewable energy. Based on this study, the author came to the conclusion that the fourth energy transition is accompanied by many global changes. There are currently no global innovations in the field of renewable energy, which complicates the process of energy transition.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54861/27131211_2025_4_8","authors":["Н.П.

This study assesses the feasibility of low-carbon energy systems in Indonesia, evaluating current policies and proposing a roadmap for net-zero emissions. Utilizing the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) and the Next Energy Modeling System for Optimization (NEMO), the study explores multiple scenarios—namely, Business-as-Usual (BAU), Carbon Capture and Storage Mitigation (CCSM), and New and Renewable Energy Mitigation (NREM). Of these, the NREM scenario, emphasizing the integration of innovative and renewable energy sources, achieves the most substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining economic viability. This strategy advocates for the comprehensive adoption of new and renewable energy, aiming to approximate zero emissions by 2060. The peak direct cost of production for this scenario is estimated at $270.8 billion. However, each scenario presents its own set of technological, economic, and policy-related challenges, necessitating strategic solutions for a successful transition to sustainable energy systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/2828/1/012004","authors":["M Reza","Arief Setiawan","Joko Waluyo"],"tags":["Java","Action (physics)","Power (physics)","Climate change","Energy sector"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/2828/1/012004","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404160693","name":"Associations of Ureaplasma urealyticum infection with male infertility and intrauterine insemination outcomes","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT: Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) is one of the most commonly occurring pathogens associated with genital tract infections in infertile males, but the impact of seminal UU infection in semen on intrauterine insemination (IUI) outcomes is poorly understood.

There were no significantly statistical differences in various semen parameters, including semen volume, sperm concentration, total and progressive motility, sperm morphology, leukocyte count, the presence of anti-sperm antibody, and sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI), between the UU-positive and UU-negative groups of male infertile patients (all P > 0.05). However, the high DNA stainability (HDS) status of sperm differed between the UU-positive and UU-negative groups, suggesting that seminal UU infection may affect sperm nuclear maturation ( P = 0.04). Additionally, there were no significant differences in pregnancy or neonatal birth outcomes between the two groups (all P > 0.05).

We reviewed the characteristics and in-hospital outcomes and developed a novel risk score for TC. METHODS: Using the National Inpatient Sample data from 2016 to 2020, we identified adult patients (≥18 years) with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and TC. We divided the cohort into ACS with and without TC and retrieved baseline data. Multivariable regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with TC diagnosis and adverse outcomes, leading to the development of a risk-scoring system. RESULTS: Among 7 219 004 adult ACS admissions, 78 214 (1.0%) were diagnosed with TC, with a mean age of 68.2 years, 64 526 (82.5%) being female and 5475 (7.0%, compared with 8.4% for other ACS) in-hospital mortality events. Factors significantly associated with TC were female sex (OR 6.78 (95% CI 6.47 to 7.09), p<0.001) and chronic heart failure (OR 1.60 (95% CI 1.54 to 1.66), p<0.001). A novel risk score was developed, including the following parameters: male sex, age >70 years, non-white race, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, history of coronary artery bypass grafting, history of percutaneous coronary intervention, cardiac arrhythmias, renal failure, cardiogenic shock and vasopressor use. The area under curves for in-hospital mortality was 0.716 in the derivation and 0.725 in the validation cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: TC remains a high-risk diagnosis in a minority of ACS cases, with mortality rates similar to other ACS causes. Our novel risk score offers a valuable tool for risk stratification in patients with TC, but external validation is needed to confirm its utility.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/openhrt-2024-002922","authors":["Ankit Agrawal","Umesh Bhagat","Abdullah Yesilyaprak","Aqieda Bayat","Aanchal Sawhney","Aro Daniela Arockiam","Elio Haroun","Michael Faulx","Milind Y.

The measured contributions of R h (49%), R root (15%), and R stem (22%) to R eco.sum were very close to model outputs of 46%, 11%, and 22%, respectively. The modeled R h was highly correlated with measured R h (R 2 = 0.66, RMSE = 0.61), empirically validating the DAMM module. The apparent temperature sensitivities (Q 10 ) of R eco were 2.22 for R eco.sum , 2.15 for R eco.eddy , and 1.57 for CABLE‐POP. This research demonstrated that bottom‐up respiration component measurements can be successfully scaled to eddy covariance‐based R eco and help to better constrain the magnitude of individual respiration components as well as their temperature sensitivities in land surface models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024jg008064","authors":["Nam Jin Noh","Alexandre A.

In the past five years, there has been progress in provision of this climate information for decision-making, but big gaps remain and investment lags far behind need. The State of Climate Services report says that in 2024, one third of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) provide climate services at an ‘essential’ level, and nearly one third at an ‘advanced’ or `full’ level. It says that countries in Asia and Africa, in particular, have made strides in boosting their capacity thanks to targeted adaptation funding. The report highlights that 2023 was the warmest year on record to date, with the unprecedented warmth continuing into 2024. Many climate extremes are becoming more frequent and intense. While weather and climate-related reported deaths are decreasing over time due to better early warnings and disaster risk management, economic losses are increasing. The latest edition of the report explores the current state of play and also documents the progress that has been made in the last five years. It includes analyses and stories to explain how specific countries, including Seychelles, Mauritius, Laos, and Ireland, have succeeded in developing and using climate services to deliver a range of socioeconomic benefits and to advance climate action. The report is based on contributions from 38 partners including major climate finance institutions, such as the Green Climate Fund, Adaptation Fund and the Global Environment Facility that are founding partners of the report series, and the UNFCCC Secretariat. The UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction worked closely with WMO on the Investment section of this year's edition.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18356/9789263113634","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-07T07:03:34Z","doi":"10.18356/9789263113634","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2514/6.2024-2339","name":"Bouncing and Bumping Aerodynamics 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"Professional and academical teaching practice correlate Wind-tunnel and Real Flight Aerodynamics as perfectly identical as long as fluid specific similarities are respected. According to this ideology, an airplane flying through a volume of still air can either be described by fixing a reference coordinate system in the air with the airplane moving through air at rest, or instead of that, by fixing the coordinate system in the flying airplane, with the air in relative motion streaming around it. This second perspective is exactly featuring what happens in a Wind-Tunnel experiment. Despite of any possible discredits, the focal intention of this contribution is to accurately investigate the true relation between these two possible perspectives. If identity of both Aerodynamic states really exists, their Newtonian roots must satisfy the fundamental Galilean Relativity Principle. Hypothetically seen, this stringent demand requires nothing else than the existence of an unique Galilean Transform, which converts the air flow of one state into the same properties of the other one. Following this assumption, both states are developed with respect to their deepest origin in terms of Newtonian Physics. Consequently Bouncing-Aerodynamics represent Wind-Tunnel-Flow, because it arise from compact homogeneous air-flow reflected and distorted by continuously hitting a solid body at rest. Accordingly, Bumping-Aerodynamics must be understood as reaction of air molecules at rest when colliding with a solid body in motion. Based on these fundamental definitions, both variants can be modeled as continuous series of elastic collisions between two bodies. These two characteristic air flow versions are then brought to full coincidence with a simple mathematical superposition. This operation basically satisfies the Galilean Relativity, because it obviously triggers perfect identity between both fluid constructs. Applied in this sense, Wind-Tunnel Flow identically convert into the covariant Real-Flight Flow. In contrast to this simplified approach, modern CFD Methods enable the accurate simulation of Aerodynamics Flow with far more complexity. Bearing in mind, that the Euler Equations, which fully conform with the Newtonian Physics , provide an effective access to both flow variants, it is almost attractive to use it for an accurate review of the above exercise. For this purpose, a 2D-Euler-Finite-Volume Flux Splitting-method was selected as appropriate tool. In the common standard form, the governing differential equations fully represent Wind-Tunnel flow alias to “Bouncing Aerodynamics”. A time dependent substitution helps to convert the basic equations into a formulation which also suits airborne flight in air at rest, well featuring the case of “Bumping Aerodynamics”. Due to their mathematically close-relationship, both variants are then solved with the same algorithm. The authenticity of the Eulerian-Bouncing-Flow is demonstrated by a perfect match between Finite-Volume computation and experimental Wind-Tunnel data gathered by NASA at Mach=0.80. The Galilean Transform of this Bouncing-Flow however delivers an unexpected identity mismatch with the genuine Eulerian Bumping-Flow version. A review of basic Eulerian specific dependencies reveals, that in compressible Eulerian environments, Galilean-transformed Bouncing-version and Bumping-solution need to be correlated to full identity by a novel Eulerian Equivalence Function. This function, valid also in 3D, provides an absolutely novel picture to Applied Fluid-Dynamics with respect to Wind-Tunnel-Aerodynamics, to CFD simulation and Real-Flight Aerodynamics.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2024-2339","authors":["Ronald M.

Outdoor access, often referred to as pop holes, are widely used to provide outdoor access to hens to improve their production and welfare. Such cage-free environments present an opportunity for precision flock management via best environmental control practices. However, outdoor access disrupts the integrity of the indoor environment including the properly planned ventilation. Moreover, complaints exist that hens do not use the holes to access the outdoor environment due to strong incoming airflow through outdoor access as they behave as uncontrolled air inlets in a negative pressure ventilation system. We successfully showed that computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling can be used in analyzing ventilation systems providing comfortable conditions and disease vector containment potentials for hen houses. Leveraging this knowledge, our current study is developing and validating a CFD model of a cage-free hen house with outdoor access by specifying the real-world conditions and then using mathematical principles of airflow and heat transfer to simulate ventilation performance. Computational Fluid Dynamics models of four different ventilation scenarios are developed for the Penn State Poultry Education and Research Center (PERC) research room, which includes two exhaust fans, sidewall ventilation inlets, wire-meshed pens, outdoor access and plenum inlets. The simulations of four ventilation scenarios predict the measured air flow velocity with less than 40 % error for three of the scenarios and the simulations predict temperature with less than 6 % error for all scenarios. With a validated research room ventilation model, we can further examine different ventilation strategies to identify those that provide suitable thermal environments with minimal disruptive air-flow patterns. We expect that knowledge of improved ventilation strategy will help the egg industry improve the welfare of hens cost-effectively.","url":"https://doi.org/10.13031/aim.202400525","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-16T15:00:01Z","doi":"10.13031/aim.202400525","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1515/juru-2024-frontmatter4","name":"Frontmatter","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/juru-2024-frontmatter4","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-14T15:52:15Z","doi":"10.1515/juru-2024-frontmatter4","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59617/efepub2024138","name":"HEALTH &amp; SCIENCE 2024-II","source":"crossref","abstract":"TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS AND INTESTINAL MICROBIOTA 7 Duygu DURMAZ, Uğur GÜNŞEN MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION AND NUTRITIONAL APPROACHES 23 Biset GÜLER, Uğur GÜNŞEN PHYTOESTROGENS AND METABOLIC EFFECTS 39 Burcu GEZGİÇ, Uğur GÜNŞEN EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN POTASSIUM LEVELS ON THE MAINTENANCE OF PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES 53 Gözde ATİLA USLU, Hamit USLU HOW EFFECTIVELY DOES GANODERME LUCIDUM REMOVE OXIDATIVE STRESS CAUSED BY HYPERGLYCEMIA? 69 Ebru BARDAŞ ÖZKAN EFFECTS OF NEWLY DISCOVERED ENDOCRINE FACTORS ON GLUCOSE METABOLISM AND OBESITY 93 Muzaffer KATAR THERAPEUTIC EFFECTIVENESS OF CANNABIDIOL IN BREAST CANCER 113 Kezban UÇAR ÇİFÇİ ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY MATERIALS FOR CHILDREN WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENT 125 Çiğdem Müge HAYLI, Ramazan KARATAŞ OXIDATIVE STRESS AND ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT 137 Rumeysa BİLİCİ GEÇER PALATOGINGIVAL GROOVE 153 Dilara BAŞTUĞ, Leyla Benan AYRANCI PRACTICAL INFORMATION ON MEASLES AND MEASLES VACCINATION IN PRIMARY CARE 167 Nefise Betül ERCAN EVALUATION OF COMMONLY USED ANTIPYRETIC DRUGS IN THE PEDIATRIC AGE GROUP IN TERMS OF PHARMACOKINETIC PROFILE AND TOXICITY 177 Çiğdem BİLKAN, Mustafa Tuğfan BİLKAN RADIOLABELED NANOPARTICLES IN NUCLEAR NEUROLOGY 191 Emre UYGUR FOCUSING ON THE ORIGIN OF PORTAL MYOFIBROBLAST WHILE DISCLOSING THE LIVER FIBROSIS 203 Mahmut İlyas HAYIRLI, Mehmet Akif ÇILDIR, Dilara Gülsüm MANSUROĞLU, Bashir SAGRİ, Hüseyin POLAT, Fatameh SAFAEİARDEKANİ, Gülüna ERDEM KOÇ APPLICATIONS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR THE COSMETICS INDUSTRY 219 Selda DOĞAN ÇALHAN, Nefise Özlen ŞAHİN","url":"https://doi.org/10.59617/efepub2024138","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-01T00:14:18Z","doi":"10.59617/efepub2024138","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.46632/cllrm/6/1","name":"1, 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.46632/cllrm/6/1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-16T12:22:50Z","doi":"10.46632/cllrm/6/1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1515/juru-2024-frontmatter8","name":"Frontmatter","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/juru-2024-frontmatter8","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-10T09:12:44Z","doi":"10.1515/juru-2024-frontmatter8","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1353/imp.2024.a936961","name":"In Memoriam: Alla Zeide (1941–2024)","source":"crossref","abstract":"SUMMARY: This is the introduction to the publication commemorating Alla Zeide (1941–2024), a literary scholar and student of Russian culture, who played an important role at the start of the Ab Imperio project.

Cotton is a globally significant cash crop, serving as a primary source for fiber production. The quality of these fibers is directly influenced by water availability, particularly during critical growth stages. Adequate water management is imperative for achieving longer, stronger, and finer fibers. Detecting crop water stress in different growing seasons is crucial for predicting yield conditions and planning irrigation scheduling. Early identification equips producers with enhanced management tools to prevent yield declines and address variability in crop water status. Traditional techniques for identifying crop stress levels heavily rely on labor-intensive visual observations, including monitoring leaf parameters, stem, and root characteristics. Remote sensing methods, such as thermal imagery and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), offer non-invasive alternatives, but their results can be sensitive to atmospheric conditions. Recognizing these limitations, deep learning methods have garnered significance due to their capacity to process large datasets and autonomously extract features and stress patterns from images. This study explores the integration of deep learning techniques with remote sensing for more efficient and accurate crop stress assessment, addressing the challenges posed by traditional and remote sensing methods. We proposed the CNN-LSTM model and compared its performance with other neural networks like AlexNet, ResNet, VGG 16, EfficientNet B7 and 3D CNN. We achieved an impressive accuracy of 97.3%, demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed methodology. The spatial and temporal analysis adds a novel dimension to understanding the dynamics of water stress in agriculture. The classification results enable precise irrigation scheduling, allowing farmers to tailor water application to the specific needs of cotton crops at different growth stages. It not only enhances water-use efficiency but also contributes to sustainable agricultural practices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.13031/aim.202400100","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-23T15:11:35Z","doi":"10.13031/aim.202400100","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.32468/inf-pol-mont-eng.tr1-2024","name":"Monetary Policy Report, January 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"Inflation continues to decline but remains well above 3%. It is anticipated to decrease significantly in 2024 and draw closer to the established target in the first half of 2025. The ongoing moderation in the economy's price levels is evidenced by the decline in headline inflation from 11% to 9.3% between September and December 2023. A noteworthy contributor to the decrease in inflation has been the reduction of food prices adjustments throughout 2023, complemented by favorable trends in the price of goods. The decrease in inflation has, however, been constrained by the behavior of the price of services, which continue to exhibit high consumption levels, acerbated by the indexation of prices to recent elevated inflation rates. Additionally, necessary adjustments in fuel prices have curbed the inflation’s decline. Going forward, the outlook is for inflation to continue its downward trajectory, converging toward the 3% target by the first half of 2025. Factors supporting the prospect of a gradual inflation reduction include the absence of significant appreciations in the exchange rate, together with lower external inflation, reduced pressure on spending over prices due to the economic deceleration, and the cumulative impact of Banco de la República’s monetary policy measures. However, persistent risks remain that could slow down the anticipated fall in inflation, such as an unforeseen increase in the exchange rate or heightened impacts of the El Niño (ENSO) phenomenon on food and energy prices. The decrease in inflation would occur against a backdrop of slow economic growth for 2024 and a recovery thereof in 2025. Towards the close of 2023, economic activity persisted in its deceleration, reflecting the low levels of investment and, to a lesser extent, a moderation in consumption. The unemployment rate, while still relatively low, has witnessed a recent uptick in the past months. The economy is poised to sustain modest growth rates for 2024, further consolidating the ongoing convergence of inflation toward the established target. An acceleration in economic activity should begin in the latter half of 2024, attaining sustainable levels in 2025 in line with the economy's productive capacity. The monetary policy stance has contributed towards mitigating inflation and addressing broader macroeconomic imbalances within the country. Notably, inflation rates and associated expectations have declined, albeit persisting above the 3% target, concurrent with an overall deceleration of economic activity. Against this backdrop, the Board of Directors of Banco de la República adjusted its monetary policy interest rate, lowering it from 13.25% to 12.75%. The monetary policy decisions enacted by Banco de la República have contributed to rectifying prevailing macroeconomic imbalances accumulated in recent years, including elevated inflation, excessive spending and credit levels, and a pronounced external deficit. Consequently, the macroeconomic landscape has undergone requisite adjustments characterized by: A realignment of economic activity towards levels more consistent with the economy’s productive capacity. Attainment of a more sustainable balance in foreign transactions. A reduction in both inflation rates and associated expectations. Considering these outcomes and amid diminishing inflationary pressures and subdued economic growth, the Board of Directors of Banco de la República opted to decrease the monetary policy interest rate by 25 basis points during its meetings of December 2023 and January 2024, bringing it down to 12.75%. This interest rate adjustment acknowledges the reduction in inflation and its associated expectations, in alignment with the overarching goal of steering inflation towards the 3% target by mid-2025 while fostering sustained economic growth over time.

Grapevine is no exception and it is clear that these mobile elements have played a major role in the evolution of Vitaceae genomes. While speculation abounds around the possible role of transposons in plant genomes, outside of the rather obvious involvement of retrotransposition in fueling genome expansion, there is little clarity of the actual role these elements have in both developing new genetic variation and in modulating epigenetic responses within genomes to changing climate. To this end we have been exploring de-novo assembled Sauvignon blanc and Pinot noir genomes with a view to catalogue retrotransposon loci to determine the structural intactness and thus age of insertion variation across a small number of clonal linages of these 2 varietals in an attempt to identify ‘live’ TE loci.","url":"https://doi.org/10.58233/wxq9olw2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-14T09:35:16Z","doi":"10.58233/wxq9olw2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850465","name":"URUCON 2024 Abstract Page","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850465","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-31T18:29:17Z","doi":"10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850465","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850291","name":"URUCON 2024 Abstract Page","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850291","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-31T18:29:17Z","doi":"10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850291","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1145/3641523","name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2024 Art Gallery","source":"crossref","abstract":"We are witnessing a shift in how designers conceptualize, detail, and fabricate their work. Architects increasingly talk about scripting or writing an architectural facade rather than drawing it. Buildings and everyday objects are conceptualized and fabricated via lines of code in addition to being drawn by hand or with CAD software. Tools for manipulating digital information have provided designers new means for expression as well as new with radically different properties. Digital methods and tools used by architects and designers have co-evolved with computer graphics and interactive technologies in leaps and bounds. The SIGGRAPH 2008 Design & Computation exhibit weaves together analog and digital, past and present, theory and artifact to give visitors a taste of an exploding field. The work has been selected to invite multiple layers of engagement and address the SIGGRAPH community's wide range of interests. Contemporary developments, however, are not without precedent. Long before advanced computer graphics, designers reshaped their tools. For example, the work of Joseph Marie Jacquard was not only significant for the textile industry, but also laid the foundation for contemporary computational design processes. On the one hand, his invention revolutionized the way in which silk-weavers from his hometown, Lyon, wove elaborate and varied figures. On the other hand, Jacquard's work embodied the ability to control a sequence of operations and fabricate an end result in a single process. Two Design & Computation discussion panels complement the exhibit, raising questions on complexity and craftsmanship. In the Complexity panel, architects and designers ask how tools and methods used by architects, artists, and designers contribute to the complexity of built forms. What are the problems and opportunities that increased complexity engenders both for built forms and for people's experience of these forms? The Craftsmanship panel examines the relationship among creator, tool, and final creation. Artists and designers reflect on how they conceive their work, discussing whether mediation through a digital fabrication processes alters their relationship with materials and their creations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3641523","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-23T12:05:02Z","doi":"10.1145/3641523","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1145/3681755","name":"SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 Emerging Technologies","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3681755","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-19T19:09:21Z","doi":"10.1145/3681755","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.14271/dms-21859-de","name":"Vermischtes","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.14271/dms-21859-de","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-03T11:06:38Z","doi":"10.14271/dms-21859-de","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1115/icef2024-fm1","name":"ICEF2024 Front Matter","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract The front matter for this proceedings is available by clicking on the PDF icon.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1115/icef2024-fm1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-02T15:15:12Z","doi":"10.1115/icef2024-fm1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21041/xicnamv12024","name":"XI CONGRESO NACIONAL DE ALCONPAT MÉXICO (XICNAM) 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21041/xicnamv12024","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-23T00:31:10Z","doi":"10.21041/xicnamv12024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.34156/9783791062105","name":"Ertragsteuerrecht","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.34156/9783791062105","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-02T15:22:49Z","doi":"10.34156/9783791062105","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850053","name":"URUCON 2024 Abstract Page","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850053","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-31T18:29:17Z","doi":"10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850053","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/ims40175.2024.10600224","name":"IMS 2024 Detailed Author Index","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ims40175.2024.10600224","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-30T17:46:43Z","doi":"10.1109/ims40175.2024.10600224","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5682/9786062818319","name":"Islands of Trust.

Brukets dammanläggning vid Viskans mynning utgör ett vandringshinder för uppvandrade ålyngel. Viskans ålförvaltningsplan är en överenskommelse som första gången bildades 1980 för att gynna ålyngeluppvandringen genom att omplacera ål från dammanläggningen i mynningen till vatten längre uppströms inom Viskans avrinningsområde. Den skapades i ett samarbete mellan Värö bruk, Varbergs kommun, Fiskeriverket och vissa kraftverksägare i Viskan. I samband med den årliga insamlingen inom ramen för ålförvaltningsplanen utförs analyser av vilka effekter dammanläggningen har för uppvandringen av ålyngel i Viskan. Ålyngel samlades in under maj–oktober 2024 via fyra ålyngelledare i dammanläggningen. Ålyngel vägdes och räknades två gånger i veckan under undersökningsperioden. Denna data jämförs i rapporten med resten av tidsserien som sträcker sig från 1971. Fångsten av uppvandrande ålyngel har totalt sett minskat över tid från undersökningarnas början, men något högre nivåer har noterats de senaste tio åren. Insamlingen 2024 gav 80,77 kg ålyngel, mer än dubbelt så mycket som föregående år.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54612/a.2goiejce1u","authors":["William Jaktén Langert","Filip

Growth was hampered by weak external sector and delayed budget approval. In December, economic activity softened due to weak manufacturing, investment, and goods export. Inflation remained negative for the third consecutive month due to falling energy and food prices as well as energy subsidies. In this context, the Bank of Thailand held its policy rate. The fiscal deficit decreased due to the delayed budget approval. In January, the Thai baht remained stable against major trading partners, despite significant net foreign portfolio outflows.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/41165","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-18T14:10:37Z","doi":"10.1596/41165","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21495/em2024","name":"Engineering Mechanics 2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21495/em2024","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-04T07:24:16Z","doi":"10.21495/em2024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1136/bmjoq-2024-ihi.acknowledgements","name":"Acknowledgements","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjoq-2024-ihi.acknowledgements","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-01T20:15:13Z","doi":"10.1136/bmjoq-2024-ihi.acknowledgements","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-3-437-21072-3.09004-7","name":"Fehler gefunden?","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-3-437-21072-3.09004-7","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-22T14:08:15Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-3-437-21072-3.09004-7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850398","name":"URUCON 2024 Abstract Page","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850398","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-31T18:29:17Z","doi":"10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850398","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.438Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850015","name":"URUCON 2024 Abstract Page","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850015","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-31T18:29:17Z","doi":"10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850015","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850214","name":"URUCON 2024 Ad Page","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850214","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-31T18:29:17Z","doi":"10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850214","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850024","name":"URUCON 2024 Abstract Page","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850024","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-31T18:29:17Z","doi":"10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850365","name":"URUCON 2024 Abstract Page","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850365","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-31T18:29:17Z","doi":"10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850365","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/autotestcon47465.2024.10697523","name":"AUTOTESTCON 2024 Cover Page","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/autotestcon47465.2024.10697523","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-02T18:16:09Z","doi":"10.1109/autotestcon47465.2024.10697523","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1145/3641231","name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2024 VR Theater","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3641231","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-23T15:27:59Z","doi":"10.1145/3641231","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59617/efepub2024119","name":"SAĞLIK &amp;

Since August 2021, the Taliban has undertaken an intensive and systematic dismantling of Afghanistan’s legal and institutional infrastructure, particularly targeting those who had supported the gender equality and women’s empowerment advances achieved under the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan between 2001 and 2021. Significant discrepancies exist between the national and subnational levels, yet data collection on issues relating to gender equality is increasingly difficult, especially following bans on women working for NGOs and the extension of this ban to the United Nations. The “Afghanistan gender country profile 2024”, produced with the support of the European Union, provides a snapshot of the current situation regarding gender equality in Afghanistan, noting the previous legal and institutional frameworks (from the period 1978–2021), and examining the current decrees, policies, and practices shaping the gender equality landscape under Taliban rule. The document then provides a detailed gender analysis and pertinent statistical data to provide an overview of the prevailing situation in-country across key priority thematic areas.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18356/9789211065329","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-26T07:07:27Z","doi":"10.18356/9789211065329","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1145/3680528","name":"SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 Conference Papers","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3680528","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-03T03:14:37Z","doi":"10.1145/3680528","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850471","name":"URUCON 2024 Abstract Page","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850471","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-31T18:29:17Z","doi":"10.1109/urucon63440.2024.10850471","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.36559/1.v48.2024","name":"Edição 48/2024","source":"crossref","abstract":"Projetos finais dos alunos do MBA Crie/UFRJ e resumo de dissertação sob orientação do Marcos Cavalcanti.","url":"https://doi.org/10.36559/1.v48.2024","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-29T20:45:50Z","doi":"10.36559/1.v48.2024","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.439Z"},{"id":"oa:W7125699960","name":"Green Synthesis of Biocatalysts for Sustainable Biofuel Production: Advances, Challenges, and Future Directions","source":"openalex","abstract":"The accelerating global demand for sustainable energy, driven by population growth, industrialization, and environmental concerns, has intensified the search for renewable alternatives to fossil fuels.

Yet, their large-scale production remains constrained by biomass recalcitrance, high pretreatment costs, and the enzyme-intensive nature of conversion processes. Recent advances in enzyme immobilization using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), covalent organic frameworks, metal–organic frameworks, and biochar have significantly improved enzyme stability, recyclability, and catalytic efficiency. Complementary strategies such as cross-linked enzyme aggregates, carrier-free immobilization, and site-specific attachment further reduce enzyme leaching and operational costs, particularly in lipase-mediated biodiesel synthesis. In addition to biocatalysis, nanozymes—nanomaterials exhibiting enzyme-like activity—are emerging as robust co-catalysts for biomass degradation and upgrading, although challenges in selectivity and environmental safety persist. Green synthesis approaches employing plant extracts, microbes, and agro-industrial wastes are increasingly adopted to produce eco-friendly nanomaterials and bio-derived supports aligned with circular economy principles. These functionalized materials have demonstrated promising performance in esterification, transesterification, and catalytic routes for biohydrogen generation. Technoeconomic and lifecycle assessments emphasize the need to balance catalyst complexity with environmental and economic sustainability. Multifunctional catalysts, process intensification strategies, and engineered thermostable enzymes are improving productivity. Looking forward, pilot-scale validation of green-synthesized nano- and biomaterials, coupled with appropriate regulatory frameworks, will be critical for real-world deployment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/catal16020115","authors":["Ghazala Muteeb","Asmaa Waled Abdelrahman","Mohamed Abdelrahman Mohamed","Youssef Basem","Abanoub Sherif","Mohammad Aatif","Mohd Farhan","Ghazi I.

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of family voice interventions in reducing delirium among adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library from inception through 4 March 2025. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias II tool, with analyses performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 4.0. RESULTS: Six randomised controlled trials (reported across seven publications) involving 598 adult ICU patients were included. Family voice interventions significantly reduced delirium incidence (OR = 0.282, 95% CI: 0.126-0.630, p = 0.002) and duration (Hedges' g = -1.929, 95% CI: -2.980 to -0.879, p < 0.001). No significant effects were observed for mechanical ventilation duration (Hedges' g = -0.826, 95% CI: -1.696 to 0.044, p = 0.063) or ICU length of stay (Hedges' g = -0.534, 95% CI: -1.371 to 0.303, p = 0.211). Subgroup analysis showed multicomponent interventions significantly reduced both delirium incidence (OR = 0.178, 95% CI: 0.046-0.681, p = 0.012) and duration (Hedges' g = -1.888, 95% CI: -2.917 to -0.859, p < 0.001), while single-component interventions showed no significant effects. CONCLUSIONS: Family voice interventions effectively reduce delirium incidence and duration in adult ICU patients, with multicomponent approaches demonstrating superior efficacy. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Critical care nurses may incorporate family voice interventions as a practical alternative within delirium prevention strategies. Although direct family presence is generally regarded as the preferred form of engagement, recorded voice messages can provide a feasible and meaningful option to enhance patient orientation and emotional connection when families cannot always be present.

While environmental, social, and governance (ESG) indicators are increasingly used to monitor sustainability performance, their collective role in impacting building-related emissions is yet largely under-investigated. The current research closes that gap through an examination of the ESG dimension–CO2 emissions intersection of 180 nations from 2000 to 2022, in the hope of illuminating how environmental, social, and governance elements interact to facilitate decarbonization. The research is guided by a multi-method design, including econometric examination, cluster modeling, and machine learning techniques, which provide causal evidence and predictive analysis, respectively. The findings reveal that the deployment of renewable energy significantly reduces emissions, while per capita energy use and PM2.5 air pollution exacerbate this effect. The social indicators show mixed results: learning, women’s parliamentary representation, and women’s workforce representation reduce emissions, while food production and growth among the lowest-income individuals demonstrate higher emissions. Governance demonstrates mixed results as well, with good regulation reducing emissions under specific conditions yet primarily supporting high-income countries with superior infrastructure. The examination of clusters reveals that ESG-balanced performance is retained by countries in the low-emission clusters, whereas decentralized ESG pillars are associated with higher emissions. Machine learning confirms the existence of non-linear effects and identifies PM2.5 exposure and renewable energy deployment as the strongest predictors of the relationship. In summary, the findings suggest that successful policies for decarbonizing the built environment are constructed upon the consistency of environmental, social, and governance plans, rather than single steps.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings15193601","authors":["Nicola Magaletti","Valeria Notarnicola","Mauro Di Molfetta","Angelo Leogrande"],"tags":["Software deployment","Corporate governance","Sustainability","Per capita","Renewable energy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings15193601","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412642875","name":"Environmentally responsive semi-interpenetrating network microcapsules with enhanced stability for corrosion protection","source":"openalex","abstract":"Robust pH-responsive microcapsules with high encapsulation efficiency and controlled release profiles were prepared via complexation–diffusion assembly, offering a viable platform for corrosion mitigation in CO 2 -intensive acidic environments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5mh00679a","authors":["Hongda Zhou","Zexi Shao","Danila V.

A suite of electronic-structure and steric descriptors, including ALIE, Hirshfeld charge, Fukui functions, and ESP-derived parameters, was developed to quantify structure–reactivity relationships. Linear aliphatic amines were found to be most sensitive to steric hindrance, while cyclic and aromatic amines were predominantly governed by inductive and conjugation effects. Key descriptors such as N_ALIE and q(N) showed strong correlations with both kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, enabling quantitative interpretation of substituent effects. Notably, a positive linear correlation between ln(k) and ln(K) was observed across all amine classes, revealing an intrinsic coupling between reaction rate and equilibrium.

Ammonia stands as one of the most critical chemical products, finding extensive applications across various industries. Currently, its production relies heavily on fossil fuels, leading to the depletion of fossil fuel resources and significant CO 2 emissions. While ammonia is primarily used as a fertilizer in agricultural sectors, its potential as a valuable carbon-free fuel has attracted significant interest in shipping and energy industries. This has led to anticipation of increased ammonia production in the future, primarily through green and carbon-free methods. However, transitioning from the conventional blue ammonia production method, which relies on fossil fuels, to green ammonia production presents considerable challenges and necessitates thorough evaluations. This study compared the impacts of green and blue ammonia production on Denmark’s energy system in 2030 and 2045. It was revealed that green ammonia production entails higher investment costs due to the utilization of electrolysers for hydrogen production, which are powered by wind turbines. Additionally, it contributes to increased investment and fixed operating costs of the energy system, as a considerably larger number of wind turbines are required for green ammonia production. However, the study’s findings indicated that green ammonia production can potentially be more cost-effective than blue ammonia production, especially in 2045 when equipped with hydrogen storage. This cost-effectiveness primarily stems from projected decreases in the costs of electrolysers and hydrogen storage vessels by 2045, as well as the omission of carbon capture and storage (CCS) from the system, along with substantial savings in fuel costs. Thus, the study demonstrated that opting for green ammonia production over blue ammonia generation could lead to a decrease in required additional annual costs by 11.4% and 40% in 2030 and 2045, respectively.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2025.134423","authors":["Hossein Asgharian","Henrik Lund","Jakob Zinck Thellufsen","Florin Iov","Mads Pagh Nielsen","Vincenzo Liso"],"tags":["Production (economics)","Ammonia","Ammonia production","Environmental science","Environmental chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2025.134423","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4367556856","name":"Technology roadmap for hydrogen-fuelled transportation in the UK","source":"openalex","abstract":"Transportation is the sector responsible for the largest greenhouse gas emission in the UK.

However, the involvement of β‑catenin in cisplatin resistance is unclear. The present study investigated the antitumor effect of cisplatin on the proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of breast cancer (BC) cells following β‑catenin silencing in BC, which is the most frequent type of malignancy among women. The expression of β‑catenin in BC tissues and cell lines was measured by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and the association between expression levels and clinical characteristics was statistically analyzed. The viability of BC cell lines treated with siR‑β‑catenin or with siR‑β‑catenin and cisplatin in combination was determined using a Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay. The migratory and invasive abilities of BC cells treated with both siR‑β‑catenin and cisplatin were examined with Transwell assays. The CD44 antigen/intercellular adhesion molecule 1 expression ratio, cell cycle distribution and apoptosis levels of BC cells treated with siR‑β‑catenin and cisplatin in combination were detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of apoptosis‑associated proteins, including caspase‑3/9, in the BC cells treated with both siR‑β‑catenin and cisplatin were investigated by western blot analysis. The levels of apoptosis in the BC cells following combined treatment with siR‑β‑catenin and cisplatin was further quantified by Hoechst 33342 staining. β‑catenin was identified to be highly expressed in BC tissues and cell lines and was associated with pathological stage and lymph node status. Following knockdown of β‑catenin expression, cisplatin treatment suppressed the viabilities, and the migratory and invasive capabilities of the T47D and MCF‑7 cells, and induced extensive apoptosis. β‑catenin knockdown upregulated caspase‑3/9 levels following cisplatin treatment and induced the apoptosis of T47D and MCF‑7 cells.

The landmark legislative packages of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (2021) and the Inflation Reduction Act (2022) reflect these priorities and include large-scale investments and financial incentives to promote the supply of clean hydrogen at lower costs, to strengthen innovation, and domestic value chains. The U.S. has been pioneering policy instruments for scaling up domestic clean hydrogen production and use cases across multiple sectors, which raised significant interest among policymakers and industrial actors worldwide. However, following President Trump’s re-election, policy uncertainty surrounding the future of the U.S. hydrogen sector has grown, although blue hydrogen may be in a more secure position than green. The international dimension of the U.S. hydrogen strategy has received much less attention in the U.S. policy debate and is less defined. Nevertheless, the U.S. has fostered bilateral partnerships on hydrogen and strengthened its hydrogen-related engagement in international organizations and multilateral initiatives in the past five years. Emerging priorities for the United States’ international collaboration on hydrogen include international demand creation and management, upscaling investments, international research collaborations, and joint efforts on regulation, standards, and certification.

As climate change intensifies, there is a growing imperative for healthcare to adopt carbon-neutral practices that align with global sustainability goals. This narrative review explores the pathways through which healthcare can transition toward carbon neutrality, focusing on energy-efficient hospital designs, eco-friendly medical supplies, sustainable waste management, and low-carbon pharmaceutical manufacturing. Energy-efficient hospital design utilizes renewable energy, sustainable architecture, and AI-driven energy optimization to lower operational emissions. Environmentally sustainable medical supplies reduce single-use plastics by incorporating biodegradable and reusable materials, as well as sustainable procurement practices. Waste management strategies, including waste segregation, recycling, and energy recovery systems, help reduce healthcare’s environmental footprint, while green chemistry and renewable energy integration in pharmaceutical manufacturing further mitigate emissions. Although financial, regulatory, and operational challenges remain, advances in green technology and increasing awareness provide new opportunities for healthcare organizations to adopt sustainable practices. By prioritizing both environmental responsibility and patient care, the healthcare sector can contribute significantly to global climate objectives. This review highlights the importance of collaboration, policy support, and investment in sustainable healthcare to ensure a resilient, low-carbon future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sftr.2025.100783","authors":["David B.

Patients with intermediate-high risk acute PE meeting inclusion criteria and not having any exclusion criteria are randomised at a 1:1 ratio to receive either CDT or standard anticoagulation therapy alone. The primary outcome is a clinical composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, PE recurrence, or cardiorespiratory decompensation or collapse, assessed within 7 days of randomisation. The secondary outcomes include bleeding complications, first-line therapy failure, cost-effectiveness analysis, and a broad spectrum of functional and patient-reported outcomes over a 2-year follow-up period. The trial aims to enrol 558 patients. As of 24 November 2024, 258 patients have been randomised. PRAGUE-26 seeks to assess the clinical benefits of simple CDT compared to anticoagulation alone in intermediate-high risk acute PE and aims to contribute to the understanding of this interventional approach. Over the past decade, percutaneous treatment options for intermediate-high and high-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE) have rapidly evolved. Since 2014, there has been growing evidence for the efficacy and safety of catheter-based treatments for acute PE, supported by data coming from registries, prospective cohorts, and small randomised controlled trials (RCTs)1. However, no large-scale randomised studies comparing interventional to standard treatment have yet been conducted12. Currently, two main interventional strategies are under extensive investigation: (a) catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT), and (b) mechanical thrombectomy. Each approach offers distinct advantages and disadvantages, potentially challenging the current standard of care, particularly in intermediate-high risk PE3. In these patients, CDT has shown some promising results regarding safety and efficacy, regardless of whether simple catheter-directed local thrombolysis or ultrasound-facilitated, catheter-directed thrombolysis (USCDT; EKOS [Boston Scientific]) is used4567. To date, no evidence suggests that one method is more effective than the other89. The industry-sponsored, randomised HI-PEITHO trial, with an adaptable design allowing for up to 544 participants, is currently underway. This trial is comparing USCDT to anticoagulation alone (the current standard of care) in a preselected group of patients with intermediate-high risk PE and is expected to provide much-needed robust clinical data10. In parallel, the investigator-initiated, non-industry-sponsored, academic RCT, titled “A Multicentre, Randomized Trial of Catheter-directed Thrombolysis in Intermediate-high Risk Acute Pulmonary Embolism (PRAGUE-26)” (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05493163), is now in progress.

The results show that: (1) The carbon market policy in the electric power industry can effectively play the carbon emission reduction effect, but its spatial spillover effect exists in the carbon emission transfer phenomenon to weaken the overall emission reduction effect. (2) The pilot carbon market policy mainly promotes carbon emission reduction in the power industry by strengthening government intervention and reducing power energy consumption, and the role of R&D innovation intensity has not yet been substantially realized.

However, FCC in intensive care units (ICUs), particularly in highly diverse contexts such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), poses additional challenges due to differing languages, religions, and cultural backgrounds. This cross-sectional study explores the dynamics of family and visitor interactions in UAE ICUs, aiming to provide insights that inform FCC implementation. Objective Understanding the core needs of families with relatives in ICUs is essential for the successful adoption of FCC, highlighting key factors required for effectively navigating the ICU environment. Methods From May to July 2024, a comprehensive study was conducted in selected critical care facilities across the UAE, involving approximately 240 adult family members closely associated with patients undergoing life-saving interventions. Data were gathered using the Critical Care Family Needs Inventory (CCFNI) Support Questionnaire. The data analysis was also conducted at the descriptive and inferential statistics level using SPSS version 16 software. Results and Discussion Among the five domains of the CCFNI, the highest mean score was for Information (38.8 ± 5.1), followed by Comfort (37.0 ± 5.6) and Support (28.0 ± 4.0). Proximity (18.6 ± 3.0) and Assurance (18.9 ± 2.8) recorded the lowest scores. Although families valued being near the patient and receiving assurance about care, their emotional support, timely information, and comfort needs remained insufficiently met in the UAE context. Conclusion & Recommendations Emotional support, timely information, and comfort should be prioritized to advance FCC in UAE ICUs. These findings can guide future research and foster the development of tailored support initiatives addressing the diverse needs of families. Also recommended to adapt visitation guidelines to allow increased family presence, particularly for critically ill patients, while maintaining infection control measures.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/0118744346392633250430094344","authors":["Mysa Abdo Ali Noman","Nabeel Al‐Yateem","Jacqueline Maria Dias","Fatma Refaat Ahmed"],"tags":["Multiculturalism","Cross-sectional study","Medicine","Nursing","Family centered care"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2174/0118744346392633250430094344","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410507564","name":"Enhancing the economic feasibility of vaterite production using calcium hydroxide in pH-swing processes","source":"openalex","abstract":"The challenge of cost-effective and efficient indirect carbonation processes is significant.

Specifically, we evaluated the feasibility of replacing NaOH, a commonly used alkaline additive, with Ca(OH) 2 , a more cost-effective and safer alternative. Particular emphasis was placed on the potential production of fine-particle vaterite CaCO 3 , which, despite its high industrial applicability, poses production challenges owing to its inherent instability. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the impact of using Ca(OH) 2 , with and without sucrose, on the production yield, morphology, particle size, and purity of CaCO 3 , in comparison to NaOH. Despite the low solubility of Ca(OH) 2 , its combination with sucrose effectively stabilized pH levels and significantly enhanced CaCO 3 yields. The addition of sucrose further increased supersaturation, aiding vaterite formation. Using Ca(OH) 2 with sucrose resulted in a vaterite content exceeding 95%, similar to that achieved with NaOH. A cost analysis revealed that producing vaterite-type CaCO 3 using Ca(OH) 2 combined with sucrose required only 53% of the cost associated with NaOH, demonstrating its superior economic feasibility.

Subsequently, the expression of Notch-1 in GBM cells was reduced using siRNA. Results revealed a significant reduction in TMZ sensitivity in TMZ-resistant GBM cells, accompanied by a substantial increase in the expression of major vault protein-(MVP), O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase-(MGMT), and ATP-binding-cassette transporter-G2-(ABCG2). Furthermore, TMZ-resistant U87-R and U251-R cells exhibited higher proliferation rates compared to their parental control cells (U87 and U251). Additionally, we observed that downregulating Notch-1 signalling inhibited the proliferation of TMZ-resistant U87-R and U251-R cells. This downregulation led to the inactivation of MGMT, ABCG2, and MVP. Importantly, it increased chemosensitivity to TMZ, particularly by downregulating MVP expression. Consequently, Notch1 could serve as a potential therapeutic target for GBM cells and may be effective in preventing TMZ resistance by targeting MVP, as well as MGMT and ABCG2 in GBM cells.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jcmm.70474","authors":["Cengiz Tuncer","Ceyhan Hacıoğlu"],"tags":["Temozolomide","Abcg2","Downregulation and upregulation","Cancer research","U87"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jcmm.70474","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4413193917","name":"A Cross-Border Pharmaceutical Operations Framework for Regulatory Compliance and Supply Chain Resilience in Sub-Saharan Africa","source":"openalex","abstract":"Cross-border pharmaceutical operations in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) face significant challenges due to fragmented regulatory systems, inconsistent customs procedures, limited digital infrastructure, and weak regional coordination. These issues often result in supply chain delays, regulatory non-compliance, and reduced availability of essential medicines—particularly during health emergencies. To address these systemic constraints, this proposes a Cross-Border Pharmaceutical Operations Framework aimed at enhancing regulatory compliance and supply chain resilience across the region. The framework integrates three key components: harmonized regulatory compliance, resilient supply chain design, and digital infrastructure for traceability and data exchange. It advocates for the mutual recognition of drug registration and quality assurance procedures among National Medicines Regulatory Authorities (NMRAs), supported by regional bodies such as the African Medicines Agency (AMA), ECOWAS, and the East African Community (EAC). The supply chain resilience component emphasizes route diversification, demand aggregation across borders, regional buffer stocks, and multi-country warehousing to mitigate disruptions. Furthermore, the digital infrastructure component proposes the adoption of blockchain technology, GS1 standards, and electronic customs documentation to enable real-time traceability and efficient regulatory oversight. The operational strategy emphasizes institutional partnerships, legal alignment, and capacity-building initiatives to enhance the readiness of regulatory and logistics personnel. It also outlines a phased implementation plan supported by monitoring indicators such as clearance times, availability metrics, and compliance rates. Case studies from the EAC-MRH initiative and COVID-19 response measures demonstrate the feasibility and urgency of regional integration. This framework provides a blueprint for a unified and efficient cross-border pharmaceutical ecosystem in SSA. By aligning regulatory practices, investing in digital innovation, and building institutional capacity, SSA can improve medicine availability, combat counterfeiting, and safeguard public health. Future research should explore AI-assisted regulatory systems, federated data governance, and dynamic risk response models for resilient pharmaceutical logistics.","url":"https://doi.org/10.47191/etj/v10i07.40","authors":["Caroline Ogayemi","Opeyemi Morenike Filani","Grace Omotunde Osho","Guinness Nig.

Carbon pricing that is uniformly valid on a global and cross-sectoral basis represents a cost-efficient policy tool to meet this challenge. Carbon pricing allows external costs to be allocated or internalized on a polluter-pays principle. It is shown that a global emissions cap-and-trade system is the most suitable market-based instrument for reducing global emissions levels, in line with the temperature goal set by the Paris Agreement. A proposal for its design is presented in this paper. This instrument encourages worldwide measures, with the lowest marginal abatement cost, according to a pre-defined reduction path. Thereby, it ensures compliance with a specified remaining carbon budget to meet a certain temperature limit in a cost-efficient manner. Possible reduction paths are presented in this paper. Weaknesses in the design of existing emissions trading systems (ETS), such as the EU ETS, are identified and avoided in the proposed instrument. The framework solves several problems of today’s climate change policies, like the free rider problem, carbon leakage, rebound effects or the green paradox. The introduction of a global uniform carbon pricing instrument and its concrete design should be the subject of policy, especially at the United Nations climate change conferences, as soon as possible in order to allow for rapid implementation.

Pore‐scale flow properties significantly influence macroscopic plume migration behavior and trapping performance. However, the inherent complexity of porous media impedes real‐time tracking of pore‐scale flow dynamics, leaving the mechanisms governing CO 2 ‐brine steady‐state flow largely unexplored. In this study, CO 2 ‐brine co‐injection experiments were conducted to explore fluid flow and distribution at the pore scale using X‐ray computed tomography (X‐ray CT) imaging. The results reveal that both the nonwetting and wetting phases, as well as the intermittent flow with CT grayscale values between those of nonwetting and wetting, are strongly affected by the capillary number. The nonwetting phase primarily occupies larger pores, while the wetting phase exhibits a bimodal distribution across small and big pores. This bimodal distribution is attributed to the core's heterogeneity and the presence of water layers along the pore walls, which also provides a unique insight into water layer identification at the pore scale. Additionally, the experiments reveal a distinct phenomenon where the morphology of the nonwetting phase transitions from clusters to singlets and then to ganglia as nonwetting phase capillary numbers vary. This transition highlights the role of the intermittent flow in modifying nonwetting phase morphology, leading to disconnections and reconnections that alter connectivity and relative permeability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2025wr040858","authors":["Xin Wang","Shaohua Li","Pengfei Lv","Cai Liang","Jintao Xu","Menglan Shi","Baocai Tong","Lanlan Jiang","Yu Liu","Yongchen Song"],"tags":["Porous medium","Flow (mathematics)","Wetting","Mechanics","Capillary action"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2025wr040858","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410454779","name":"Carbon Sequestration for Global-Scale Climate Change Mitigation: Overview of Strategies plus Enhanced Roles for Perennial Crops","source":"openalex","abstract":"Climatic changes threaten many forms of crop production as well as adversely affecting global ecosystems and human activities. There are two principal ways in which the balance of the global carbon cycle can be restored, firstly to decrease anthropogenic CO2 emissions and secondly to increase rates of carbon sequestration. Even if emissions are successfully reduced to net zero, which seems increasingly unlikely over the coming decades, it will still be essential to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations to preindustrial levels, which can only be achieved by global-scale carbon sequestration of the order of gigatonnes (Gt) of CO2 annually. Over recent decades engineering approaches have been proposed to tackle carbon sequestration. However, their technological effectiveness have yet to be demonstrated at global scale with even the most optimistic current values at less than 0.1 Gt CO2 /yr, i.e. 50-100-fold less than required to meet IPCC targets for 2050. In contrast, biological carbon sequestration already operates as a proven global mechanism that also has the potential for increased effectiveness by harnessing high-yield tropical vegetation including perennial crops with carbon sequestration values already exceeding 1 Gt CO2 /yr. This review will contrast engineering and biological approaches to carbon sequestration with a particular focus on the potential for perennial crops, especially in the tropics. The major conclusions are that (i) the capacity of biological carbon sequestration already dwarfs that of all engineering approaches combined, (ii) biological sequestration is already proven to operate at global scale, and (iii) compared to engineering approaches it will be orders of magnitude less expensive to upscale further in the coming decades.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202505.1077.v1","authors":["Denis J.

Recent breakthroughs in catalyst engineering and reactor design have achieved industrial‐relevant current density (>1 A cm⁻ 2 ) and high Faradaic efficiency (FE) (>80% for C 1 /C 2+ products), but the technology remains constrained to laboratory prototypes. This review critically examines the engineering challenges hindering industrial deployment of CO 2 RR systems, focusing on three key Operational parameters in scaling implementation electrolyzer architectures: membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs), solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOECs), and modular stack designs. The operational bottlenecks in scaling these systems, including mass transport limitation, conversion efficiency, and long‐term stability under industrial current densities, are systematically analyzed. By correlating material innovations with reactor engineering strategies, the critical challenges for achieving energy‐efficient CO 2 conversion at scale are identified. The review further outlines technological roadmaps addressing material scalability, system durability, sustainability with intermittent renewables, and techno‐economic feasibility.

Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 235 patients of AMI and for all the patients and thorough information regarding history, risk factors, and medications were collected. Both DAPT and PRECISE‐DAPT scores were calculated. The patients were divided by their recommended cutoffs and the appropriateness of the duration of the recommended DAPT was measured based on the observed scores. Bleeding academic research consortium (BARC) classification was used to define the bleeding events. In the patients with DAPT score ≥ 2 and PRESICE‐DAPT < 25, the prolonged use of DAPT was recommended. Results: Overall, 235 patients, predominantly male (78.7%), with baseline characteristics exhibiting high rate of smoking (31.1%), diabetes (35.3%), and hypertension (32.8%) were found. The widely prescribed DAPT combination was aspirin with clopidogrel (72.3% at discharge and 46% on current use). Among all the enrolled patients, 163 patients were on DAPT while 71 were on single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT). A significant association between DAPT and PRECISE‐DAPT scores was noted in terms of SAPT and DAPT. The appropriateness of DAPT was checked based on the scores, where 81% of the patients with DAPT ≥ 2 and 77.24% with PRECISE‐DAPT score < 25 were appropriately prescribed with DAPT. The primary reason for drug interruptions was self‐advised. The incidence of bleeding events was observed to be 7.23%, among which 5.1% had Type 1 bleeding according to BARC. Conclusion: Both DAPT and PRECISE‐DAPT scores could be used to determine the appropriateness of the recommendations of DAPT in patients with AMI or undergoing PCI.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2024/1489008","authors":["Abhishek Singh","M.

This paper explores minimum cost solutions for achieving the corresponding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target for NSW, using an Australian implementation of the TIMES (The Integrated MARKAL-EFOM System) energy system modelling framework. This paper investigated possible decarbonisation pathways and available technology options to reach the target. It includes both a higher emissions reference case scenario and a scenario implementing the NSW state government's target of net-zero emissions by 2050 under the NSW Climate Change Policy Framework, consistent with the international Paris Agreement on climate change, with available and viable well-developed technologies. The findings show that the NSW energy system can continue its shift from fossil fuels to renewables like solar, wind, and hydro and can entirely phase out coal- and gas-fired electricity generation by 2050. The deployment of zero-emissions technologies along with policy supports are crucial to achieving deep decarbonisation of the NSW economy by 2050. In addition, electrification and energy efficiency improvements play a significant role in the end-use sector's energy consumption reduction in the coming decades. This paper shows that the electricity sector is the dominant contributor to emission reductions up to the year 2030, while transport, buildings, and industry sectors are set to decarbonise later in the projection period (2030-2050) along this least-cost trajectory. However, the NSW government's aspirational target of net-zero emissions by 2050 can be achieved by 2039 by offsetting negative emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rset.2022.100041","authors":["Mythili Murugesan","Luke Reedman","Thomas S.

Effective weaning strategies are critical to improving patient's outcomes, yet the optimal approach remains unclear. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has emerged as a potential adjunct therapy to facilitate weaning, addressing the gap in standardized interventions. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the effectiveness of IMT on weaning from mechanical ventilation in ICU patients. Seven randomized controlled trials published since 2019 were analyzed, comparing various IMT protocols. The findings support that high-intensity IMT can enhance extubation success rates and reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation. However, considerable variability in protocols and patient populations limits the generalizability of these findings. The findings underscore the urgent need for further research to standardize IMT protocols and to identify the patient subgroups most likely to benefit. Future studies should focus on refining methodologies and developing consensus-based guidelines to maximize the effectiveness of IMT in ICU settings.

This study presents a simulation, techno-economic assessment, and GHG emissions assessment of a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process using two steel mill gases (coke oven gas and blast furnace gas) as feedstock. The process was analysed both with and without carbon capture and storage (CCS) to reduce process emissions. The minimum viable selling price (MVSP) was determined to be 1,046 €/tonne for the standard scenario and 1,150 €/tonne for the CCS scenario, which is higher than the fossil-fuel-based benchmark (325–1,087 €/tonne since 2020), although similar to the lowest costs found for other SAF benchmarks. The GHG emissions intensity was found to be 49 gCO 2 -eq./MJ for the standard scenario and 21 gCO 2 -eq./MJ with CCS, far lower than the 88 gCO 2 -eq./MJ average for the conventional benchmark and in the mid-lower range of found emissions intensities for other SAF benchmarks. When a CO 2 tax of 130 €/tonne is considered, the MVSP for the standard scenario increases to 1,320 €/tonne while the CCS scenario increases to 1,269 €/tonne, making them cost-competitive with the fossil-fuel benchmark (797–1,604 €/tonne). The studied process offers economically viable small-to-medium scale SAF plants (up to 50 kt/y SAF) at a CO 2 tax of 190 €/tonne or higher for the CCS scenario and 290 €/tonne or higher for the standard scenario.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2022.1049229","authors":["Jason Collis","Karsten Duch","Reinhard Schomäcker"],"tags":["Tonne","Greenhouse gas","Environmental science","Waste management","Fossil fuel"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-12-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2022.1049229","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W3121054758","name":"Potenzial grüner Wasserstoff: langer Weg der Entwicklung, kurze Zeit bis zur Umsetzung","source":"openalex","abstract":"The aim of the paper is to examine the areas in which there is a potential for hydrogen use in Germany.

We have previously described an objective scalar measure of conscientiousness over many occasions, and shown that it correlates with independent faculty estimates of students' professionalism. In this study we test the hypothesis that these measures of conscientiousness relate to independent peer estimates of professionalism, and explore the relationships between conscientiousness, and gender and educational background. METHODS: Medical students in Years 1 and 2 of an undergraduate programme were invited to estimate the professionalism of fellow students using a peer nomination approach. The correlation with the Conscientiousness Index (CI) for each student receiving nominations was explored statistically. Male and female students, from three educational backgrounds, were also compared on the basis of their CI scores. Developmental properties were considered by comparing Year 2 students' CI scores with their corresponding Year 1 performance. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant negative correlation between CI scores and nominations for lack of professionalism. No differences were observed between male and female students. There were occasional differences between students of different educational backgrounds, but the sample sizes of some groups were small and we would not wish to over-interpret these data. CONCLUSIONS: These results support the use of the CI as a scalar, objective potential measure of professionalism, although the observations require repetition elsewhere and over an extended period of time in order to determine the predictive value of this approach.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2923.2009.03453.x","authors":["Gabrielle M.

We share their concerns about the negative impact of perioperative transfusions and the detrimental effects of anaemia itself on patient outcomes in adult cardiac surgery [3]. Their observations align with the guideline’s emphasis on evidence-based strategies and multidisciplinary efforts to address anaemia preoperatively and minimize transfusion-related risks and other complications proportional to the severity of anaemia [4]. Building on these concerns, the authors highlight the innovative potential of Sucrosomial iron, whose absorption in chronically inflamed patients is not compromised by elevated hepcidin levels, which inhibit the absorption of traditional oral iron salts. However, as correctly pointed out, Sucrosomial iron lacks robust, large-scale studies comparing its efficacy with ferrous salts, particularly at the new low-dose standard that may enhance tolerability. The rapid haemoglobin gain observed with Sucrosomial iron in various studies makes it a practical option. Other ferric complexes, such as ferric maltol, ferric citrate and liposomal iron, have shown similar benefits in specific contexts. An alternate-day dosing regimen of ferrous salts may require longer treatment durations and is less suitable for patients with chronic inflammation, where iron absorption is already impaired. Additionally, potential interactions with medications such as proton pump inhibitors, which reduce gastric acidity and impair iron absorption, must be considered. Consistent adherence to oral iron regimens over weeks or months can be particularly challenging in preoperative settings, especially for patients experiencing side effects. However, even if Sucrosomial iron is well tolerated, it may not achieve the rapid haemoglobin increases provided by intravenous iron, which is often critical for patients with tight preoperative timelines or severe anaemia. Finally, the authors raise valid concerns regarding the added cost of Sucrosomial iron compared to ferrous salts. While the incremental cost varies across countries, the 2024 EACTS/EACTAIC PBM guidelines prioritize clinical outcomes over cost-effectiveness considerations specific to individual healthcare systems [5]. We appreciate the thoughtful feedback provided and recognize the limitations of Sucrosomial iron, including delayed onset of action, inconsistent efficacy in inflammatory conditions and the potential to postpone more effective interventions, such as intravenous iron or transfusions in severe or refractory anaemia. These points have been carefully reviewed and discussed within the relevant committees. As a result, the 2024 EACTS/EACTAIC PBM guidelines have been revised to reflect a more balanced approach, acknowledging that no single formulation is definitively superior. The revised recommendations aim to ensure inclusivity, practicality, and alignment with diverse clinical scenarios.

For this purpose, TIMES Integrated Assessment Model (TIAM), a global energy system model is used. In order to investigate global hydrogen and synfuel flows, cost potential curves are aggregated and implemented into TIAM, as well as demand technologies for the end use sectors. Furthermore, hydrogen and synfuel trades are established using liquid hydrogen transport (LH2), and both new and existing technologies for synfuels are implemented. To represent a wide range of possible future events, four different scenarios are considered with different characteristics of climate and security of supply policies. The results show that in the case of climate policy, the renewable energies need tremendous expansion. The final energy consumption is shifting towards the direct use of electricity, while certain demand technologies (e.g., aviation and international shipping) require hydrogen and synfuels for full decarbonization. Due to different security of supply policies, the global allocation of hydrogen and synfuel production and exports is shifting, while the 1.5 °C target remains feasible in the different climate policy scenarios.

Two scoring and ranking methods, the MACBETH method and the Pugh decision matrix, are utilized for this evaluation. The scoring process employs nine decision criteria: capital expenditure (CAPEX), operating expenditure (OPEX), operating efficiency (SOE), startup time (SuT), environmental impact (EI), technology readiness level (TRL), maintenance requirements (MRs), supply chain challenges (SCCs), and levelized cost of H2 (LCOH). The MACBETH method involves pairwise technology comparisons for each decision criterion using seven qualitative judgment categories, which are converted into quantitative scores via M-MACBETH software (Version 3.2.0). The Pugh decision matrix benchmarks WE technologies using a baseline technology—SMR with CCS—and a three-point scoring scale (0 for the baseline, +1 for better, −1 for worse). Results from both methods indicate AWE as the leading H2 production technology, which is followed by AEME, PEME, and SOE. AWE excels due to its lowest CAPEX and OPEX, highest TRL, and optimal operational efficiency (at ≈7 bars of pressure), which minimizes LCOH. AEME demonstrates balanced performance across the criteria. While PEME shows advantages in some areas, it requires improvements in others. SOE has the most areas needing enhancement. These insights can direct future R&D efforts toward the most promising H2 production technologies to achieve the net-zero goal.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17135770","authors":["Y.F.

It is difficult for EMS personnel to distinguish between patients suffering from a high-risk condition in need of prompt hospital care and patients suitable for non-conveyance. A vast majority of patients with chest pain are therefore transported to the emergency department (ED) for further investigation even if hospital care is not necessary. Improved prehospital assessment and risk stratification, thus accurately and safely identifying patients suitable for non-conveyance, could prevent unnecessary transport to the ED. This would reduce ED crowding and overburdening sparse EMS resources. It would thus also probably reduce healthcare costs. Little is known about the prehospital use of the 5th generation, i.e. high-sensitivity troponin analyses. The aim of this project is to develop an EMS decision support tool using high-sensitivity troponin I for risk assessment of chest pain patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a prospective, multicentre, cohort study including adult unselected EMS patients with chest pain. Data is being collected from 20 May 2023 to 31 December 2025, aiming to include at least 2,000 patients. High-sensitivity troponin I is being analysed bedside using Siemens Healthineers Atellica VTLi. In addition to prehospital troponin I, data is being collected on patient medical history, onset, vital signs, symptoms, ECG and diagnosis at hospital discharge. Several statistical analyses (random forest, logistic regression, gradient boosting) will be conducted to identify the best model for identifying patients with low-risk conditions suitable for non-conveyance. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study has been approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (Dnr 2022-01066-01 and 2022-06846-02).

However, large-scale deployment remains limited due to its poor investment attractiveness. Traditional Techno-Economic Assessments (TEA), even when accounting for carbon credits revenue, show that BECCS systems are not financially competitive with conventional or renewable energy sources. This study introduces a Techno-Socio-Economic Assessment (TSEA) framework that integrates overlooked societal benefits, such as indirect emission displacement and job creation, by monetising them through the social cost of carbon (SC) and the opportunity cost of labour. A case study evaluates a wheat-straw-fuelled combined heat and power BECCS facility operating under three strategies: electricity and heat cogeneration, carbon credit maximization, and electricity maximization. Conventional TEA results show negative profitability (NPV = −$460 million) and reveal that carbon credit prices must exceed $240/tCO₂ for the levelized cost of electricity to reach parity with renewable energies. Under the TSEA framework, all configurations become profitable with the electricity-maximizing mode reaching an NPV of $2.28 billion. Sensitivity analysis highlights profitability's strong dependence on the assumed social cost of carbon, underscoring the uncertainty and policy sensitivity of BECCS economics. These findings underscore the need to recognize and monetise BECCS's full societal value. Future policies must determine who bears the cost of carbon damages and must establish mechanisms to ensure stakeholders are fairly compensated for the broader social benefits delivered by BECCS, thus fostering investment and enabling real-world deployment of this essential technology.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spc.2025.08.016","authors":["Alberto Almena","Vahid Ghorbani Pashakolaie","Mariano Martı́n"],"tags":["Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage","Natural resource economics","Computable general equilibrium","Environmental economics","Economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spc.2025.08.016","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W7127101680","name":"Отношения ЕС и США летом 2025 г.","source":"openalex","abstract":"СОДЕРЖАНИЕ Стр","url":"https://doi.org/10.15211/eufacts320255557","authors":["Pavel Sharikov"],"tags":["Product (mathematics)","Identification (biology)","Work (physics)","Computer science","Set (abstract data type)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.15211/eufacts320255557","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W7138919570","name":"NH 3 -Mediated Reactive Capture and Conversion: Integrating CO 2 Absorption from Flue Gas with CO Production via NH 4 HCO 3 Electrolysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Efficient carbon capture and utilization require strategies that minimize energy penalties of CO 2 regeneration and compression.

CO 2 mineralization approaches include in situ (CO 2 reacts with alkaline minerals in the Earth's subsurface), surficial (high surface area alkaline minerals found at the Earth's surface are reacted with air or CO 2 -bearing fluids), and ex situ (high surface area alkaline minerals are transported to sites of concentrated CO 2 production).

Additionally, the physical and geological characteristics of low-permeability reservoir crude oil are less desirable owing to the influence of continental sedimentary structures. The minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) between CO 2 and crude oil is generally higher than the formation fracture pressure, thereby rendering it difficult for CO 2 to form miscibility with crude oil. Under such circumstances, a miscibility-reducing agent can be adopted to lower the miscibility pressure between CO 2 and crude oil, thus achieving CO 2 oil miscible phase flooding and elevating recovery efficiency. This paper first selected the most effective miscibility-reducing agent through molecular simulation experiments and core displacement experiments, and subsequently evaluated the injection effect of the miscibility-reducing agent on heightening the recovery rate of CO 2 flooding in low-permeability reservoir cores. This research obtained the effect of the miscibility-reducing agents on the aggregation degree of CO 2 molecules and asphaltene molecules during the oil gas mixing process from the radial distribution function and analyzed its function mechanism. On this basis, the core flooding experiment method was adopted to screen for the optimal miscibility-reducing agent with the best miscibility-reducing agent effect. Afterward, the impact of miscibility-reducing agent injection on the CO 2 flooding development effect of the low-permeability core was evaluated systematically. As demonstrated by the molecular simulation results, selected miscibility-reducing agents displayed desirable electron transfer ability with CO 2; Triisobutyl citrate can effectively heighten the aggregation degree of CO 2 molecules and lessen the aggregation degree of asphaltene molecules, with the most conspicuous effect; The results of the core flooding experiment revealed that upon the injection of triisobutyl citrate, the MMP reduction between CO 2 and crude oil exhibited the most remarkable trend, so it was selected as the best miscibility-reducing agent. The mechanism by which triisobutyl citrate can effectively reduce MMP mainly includes lowering crude oil viscosity and oil gas interfacial tension, and promoting the CO 2 extraction ability. The indoor three-dimensional well network model CO 2 flooding experiment results suggested that after injecting 0.07 PV of triisobutyl citrate preflush slug, the CO 2 flooding recovery rate increased from 47.78% OOIP without the injection of miscibility-reducing agents to 59.86% OOIP. The selected triisobutyl citrate displayed a striking effect on augmenting the CO 2 flooding recovery rate of low-permeability reservoirs. The research results provide a reference and inspiration for the high-quality and efficient development of CO 2 flooding in low-permeability oil reservoirs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c00579","authors":["Shuaishuai Zhao","Li Liu","Zhihao Li","Xiang Fan","Zhiqiang Wang","Mengyi Xing","Fushan Li"],"tags":["Miscibility","Flooding (psychology)","Permeability (electromagnetism)","Water flooding","Relative permeability"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.5c00579","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406183779","name":"Integrated CO 2 capture and electrochemical conversion: coupled effects of transport, kinetics and thermodynamics in the direct reduction of captured-CO 2 adducts","source":"openalex","abstract":"A review highlighting the current progress, challenges, and opportunities in integrated electrochemical CO 2 capture and conversion for the direct reduction of the captured CO 2 -adduct.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d4ey00285g","authors":["Avishek Banerjee","Carlos G.

It is normal when both are well-matched. A reduction in RV contractility or an increase in RV afterload leads to RV-PA uncoupling, decreasing left ventricular filling, stroke volume, and causing peripheral hypoperfusion and congestion. The TAPSE/PASP ratio is a reliable non-invasive method to assess this coupling. An impaired TAPSE/PASP ratio is associated with poor prognosis in conditions of elevated RV afterload, but its role in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is unclear. AIM: The aim of this study is to investigate the in-hospital prognostic value of the TAPSE/PASP ratio and the predictors of a low TAPSE/PASP ratio. METHODS: This retrospective, pilot study included 152 patients admitted for ACS (77.6% STEMI, 22.4% NSTEMI) between November 2023 and March 2025, with available TAPSE/PASP data from echocardiography performed at admission. The primary objective was to assess whether the TAPSE/PASP ratio predicts in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Secondary objectives included evaluating whether TAPSE/PASP predicts in-hospital ventricular arrhythmias, intraventricular thrombosis, prolonged hospital stay, and identifying predictors of a low TAPSE/PASP ratio. RESULTS: TAPSE/PASP < 0.55 was significantly associated with MACE and prolonged hospital stay in univariate analysis, but not in multivariate analysis. TAPSE/PASP < 0.55 was largely explained by E/e' >14 (OR 6.600; p = 0.0008), RV involvement (OR 9.430; p = 0.0007), and age >75 years (OR 3.243; p = 0.0389).

This review explores advancements in DAC systems to support large-scale CO₂ removal, targeting 1–10 billion tons annually by 2050 to achieve global net-zero emissions. Recent progress includes improved methods using solid materials and liquid solutions, which have increased efficiency by 15–20% and lowered costs to $200–600 per ton of CO₂ removed. Operational facilities now capture up to 1 million tons of CO₂ yearly, demonstrating practical success. Engineering solutions, such as modular designs and renewable energy use, reduce costs by 15% and energy needs by 10–20%, enabling expansion to larger scales. DAC can achieve net CO₂ reductions of up to 0.9 tons per ton captured, but its environmental benefits depend on clean energy sources to minimize emissions during operation. Challenges include high costs, significant energy requirements, and limited global infrastructure for CO₂ storage and transport. Future efforts should focus on developing durable materials, building 10–20 DAC hubs worldwide by 2035, and introducing stronger financial incentives to cut costs to $100 per ton. This study highlights DAC’s potential to significantly contribute to climate goals, provided technological and policy barriers are overcome. By advancing engineering and fostering global cooperation, DAC can complement emissions reduction efforts, ensuring a sustainable path to net-zero.","url":"https://doi.org/10.30574/gjeta.2025.24.1.0214","authors":["Hikmat Ayoola Sodiq","Temitayo Oluwaseyi Ogunwoye","Nicodemus Chidera Omekawum","Oluwabusayo Adetunji Agboola","Patrick Ebelechukwu Akuagwu","Miracle Chiemerie Umeh","M.

This study aims to demonstrate the modeling of a grid‐connected double‐chamber microbial fuel cell (DCMFC) biomass energy system via MATLAB Simulink software. The experimental measurements obtained from DCMFC outputs served as the basis for developing the inverter‐grid connection model and simulation output in MATLAB Simulink software. Briefly, the DCMFC DC boost voltage was connected to the positive and negative buses of the three‐phase DC‒AC inverter circuit, with switching patterns controlled by gate pulses in each transistor. Full square wave single‐stage PWM pulses are generated by the gate for control. The power generated by the inverter was measured via a three‐phase VI block for analysis, with voltages and currents displayed via a scope. To address potential noise during switching, an LC filter is employed to suppress noise output and stabilize power generation. Another power meter measures power from the grid, with waveforms displayed via scope blocks. Before synchronization between power from the DCMFC and the grid occurs, four requirements must be met: the grid voltage must match the inverter output voltage, the inverter frequency must match the grid frequency, the phase sequence must be the same, and the phase angle of the inverter must match that of the grid. Additionally, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)‐specific requirements were evaluated during the simulation for this study. In addition, this study critically examined whether the DCMFC inverter model conforms to conventional requirements, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards, and IEEE standards for the integration of inverters into the grid. Compared with previous studies on inverter modeling for grid connections, past studies have emphasized the efficacy of biomass power plants and different inverter topologies for photovoltaic (PV) systems. The current study focuses on optimizing a multilevel inverter‐based model, achieving low total harmonic distortion (THD) below IEEE standards. In this study, the use of a multilevel inverter configuration proved highly effective in reducing the harmonic content, leading to synchronized phase sequences and enhanced coherence between the grid and inverter voltages. With a THD of 4.75% at 50 Hz, supported by a harmonic distortion value of 422.5, the chosen configuration significantly minimized the harmonic distortion. This success underpins the system’s reliability and efficiency, offering promising implications for practical applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/er/5398834","authors":["Khaya Pearlman Shabangu","Nhlanhla Mthembu","Maggie Chetty","Babatunde Femi Bakare"],"tags":["Microbial fuel cell","MATLAB","Bioenergy","Grid","Software"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1155/er/5398834","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4417152630","name":"Hydro‐Mechanical‐Chemical Behavior of Sedimentary Rock During CO 2 Injection","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract This study examines the effect of CO 2 treatment duration on the poroviscoelastic properties of sedimentary rock, including sandstone, limestone, and shale. A hydro‐mechanical‐chemical (HMC) coupling framework is employed to evaluate the time‐dependent response of fluid‐saturated rock subjected to CO 2 exposure. Laboratory experiments are performed on pristine specimens and those treated for 1–3 weeks, using a modified hydrostatic compression system. Carbonate mineral dissolution plays a key role in altering poroviscoelastic properties, especially in limestone and calcite‐bearing shales, leading to an increase in their porosity and Skempton's B coefficient, and a decrease in their bulk and solid moduli, as well as bulk viscosity. These changes enhance the time‐dependent deformation and influence the porosity evolution. The HMC model, calibrated with the experimental data, predicts CO 2 injection‐induced porosity changes by accounting for the competing processes of chemical dissolution and time‐dependent compaction. This study highlights the need to incorporate the coupled effects to accurately predict rock behavior during CO 2 storage and to support realistic assessments of long‐term reservoir and caprock performance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2025jb032279","authors":["Hyunbin Kim","Kiseok Kim","Roman Y.

However, the use of GFMs faces challenges due to the difficulty of these materials dispersing properly in cementitious matrices, often resulting in the agglomeration of nanomaterials. This tendency to agglomerate directly impacts critical properties of cementitious matrices such as workability and mechanical strength. Therefore, several research studies are being conducted to address dispersion issues and understand the interactions between GFMs and their matrices. However, the literature still lacks consensus on important topics, such as the parameter definitions that influence the cement hydration reaction rate, the factors affecting workability, the cement/GFMs interaction models, the type and optimal amount of GFMs to be used for each system, the characteristics of those GFMs (type and amount of functional groups, presence or absence of defects), and how differences in matrices and dispersants affect mechanical strength parameters.

However, some reports state an increased risk of iatrogenic acute aortic dissection. Evidence remains limited regarding preoperative diagnostics for risk reduction and the appropriate adjustment of surgical procedures if acute aortic dissection is detected intraoperatively. METHODS: In this retrospective single-centre observational study, we analysed 1065 patients who underwent minimally invasive cardiac surgery via right anterolateral thoracotomy for atrioventricular valves and atrial structures with femoral cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass from August 2009 to June 2021. Occurrence of iatrogenic acute aortic dissection was evaluated, along with patient profiles and the primary composite outcome of major adverse cardiovascular events (non-fatal stroke, myocardial infarction or cardiovascular death). An optimal perioperative strategy was subsequently described. RESULTS: Intraoperative iatrogenic acute aortic dissection was observed in 8 patients (0.75%). It was identified at the start of cardiopulmonary bypass in 4 patients (50.0%). All patients underwent conversion to full sternotomy; 7 patients underwent additional aortic surgery with circulatory arrest thereafter. In-hospital mortality was 37.5% (n = 3), including 1 intraoperative death. Non-fatal stroke was observed in 12.5% (n = 1). A preoperative computed tomography scan was missing in 3 patients with aortic calcification (n = 1) and hostile peripheral arteries (n = 2). CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative aortic dissection in minimally invasive cardiac surgery remains a rare complication. Frequent major adverse cardiovascular events highlight the importance of preoperative imaging based procedure planning. Intraoperatively, early diagnosis with standardized monitoring and time- and location-specific surgical adaptations might increase safety and outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ejcts/ezaf135","authors":["Sebastian Johannes Bauer","Yukiharu Sugimura","Friederike I.

Analyzing the annual reports and sustainability documents published in 2024 by the 12 oil and gas firms that are part of the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), we find that all firms maintain nominal net zero targets, but are vague on how they plan to scale CDR. Instead, CDR reporting is project-focused, anecdotal and combined piecemeal into an existing raft of initiatives and apparent investments into “climate solutions” consistent with the private sector turn towards environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure and self-regulation. Afforestation/reforestation is the most commonly mentioned CDR approach in the guise of “nature-based solutions”, often signalling linkages to developing world projects, offsets, and carbon forestry. Certain firms emphasise direct air capture and carbon storage (DACCS) and appear to seek a first-mover advantage in the context of reinforcing rather than diversifying fossil fuel extraction and production. We map this emerging integration of CDR onto the business and political strategies of oil and gas firms, and point to three possible “directions-of-travel” that firms might follow as discourse and policy on CDR develops. As it stands, we are skeptical that the sector can yet be relied upon to scale CDR, and highlight that CDR approaches may well serve as promissory technologies for the oil and gas industry to hedge against climate policy and delay decarbonization. • Analyses how oil and gas firms are engaging in carbon dioxide removal (CDR). • Focuses on their annual financial and sustainability reporting • Broad commitments to net-zero are not supported by plans to scale CDR. • Most firms reference “nature-based solutions”, few discuss novel methods • Current CDR integration supports greenwashing and entrenched fossil production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2025.104237","authors":["William F.

In this study we employed shotgun metagenomics to analyze the taxonomic diversity of bacteria present in fecal samples of 90 clinical subjects (comprising 30 CRC patients, 30 with polyps and 30 controls). Our findings revealed a decrease in taxonomic richness among individuals with polyps and CRC, with significant dissimilarities observed among the study groups. We identified significant alterations in the abundance of specific taxa associated with polyps (Streptococcaceae, Lachnoclostridium, and Ralstonia) and CRC (Lactobacillales, Clostridiaceae, Desulfovibrio, SFB, Ruminococcus, and Faecalibacterium). Clostridiaceae exhibited significantly lower abundance in the early stages of CRC. Additionally, our study revealed a positive co-occurrence among underrepresented genera in CRC, while demonstrating a negative co-occurrence between Faecalibacterium and Desulfovibrio, suggesting potential antagonistic relationships. Moreover, we observed variations in taxonomic richness and/or abundance within the polyp and CRC bacteriome linked to polyp size, tumor stage, dyslipidemia, diabetes with metformin use, sex, age, and family history of CRC. These findings provide potential new biomarkers to enhance early CRC diagnosis while also demonstrating how intrinsic host factors contribute to establishing a heterogeneous microbiome in patients with CRC and polyps.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2023.1292490","authors":["Beatriz Alessandra Rudi Grion","Paula Luize Camargos Fonseca","Rodrigo Bentes Kato","Glen Jasper Yupanqui García","Aline B.M.

Scenario estimates of the dynamics of carbon indicators of the world’s leading economies at global and subglobal scales based on a historical approach have been developed. It is shown that the current rate of decarbonization and the development of the carbon capture and storage industry in the studied countries is not sufficient for these countries to fulfill their obligations to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050-2070 – this goal cannot be attained before the end of the century. The key challenge in achieving the carbon neutrality is the rapid, large-scale deployment of the carbon capture and storage technologies in all possible forms. Of the countries studied, however, only China and Brazil have their capabilities to store carbon for more than a century.

Two batch experiments were conducted under neutral (deionized water) and acidic (1 wt% HCl) conditions at elevated temperature and pressure. Under neutral conditions, the interaction between CO₂ and red mud led to measurable mineralization, with approximately 8.3% of the injected CO₂ converted into Minerals. In contrast, the acidic system induced extensive mineral dissolution and precipitation, releasing higher concentrations of reactive elements into solution. Increasing the amount of red mud in the reaction to twice that used in the DIW case resulted in approximately twice the amount of CO₂ being mineralized. This indicates a strong relationship between red mud mass and its CO₂ sequestration capacity, highlighting that providing more reactive solid material directly enhances the system’s ability to lock CO₂ into stable carbonate minerals. Gas analysis verified hydrogen generation, along with notable hydrogen sulfide formation, particularly under acidic conditions. Overall, the findings reveal that while red mud can facilitate partial CO₂ mineralization and hydrogen evolution, its reactivity strongly depends on pH, with acid-assisted reactions enhancing mineral mobility rather than stable carbonate formation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-32469-x","authors":["Khaled Al-Azani","Mohamed Gamal Rezk","Ahmed Farid Ibrahim"],"tags":["Carbonation","Carbonate","Red mud","Carbon sequestration","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-32469-x","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415991136","name":"Evaluating Greenhouse Gas Reduction Efficiency Through Hydrogen Ecosystem Implementation from a Life-Cycle Perspective","source":"openalex","abstract":"With growing global demand for sustainable decarbonization, hydrogen energy systems have emerged as a key pillar in achieving carbon neutrality. This study assesses the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction efficiency of Republic of Korea’s hydrogen ecosystem from a life-cycle perspective, focusing on production and utilization stages. Using empirical data—including the national hydrogen supply structure, fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) deployment, and hydrogen power generation records, the analysis compares hydrogen-based systems with conventional fossil fuel systems. Results show that current hydrogen production methods, mainly by-product and reforming-based hydrogen, emit an average of 6.31 kg CO2-eq per kg H2, providing modest GHG benefits over low-carbon fossil fuels but enabling up to a 77% reduction when replacing high-emission sources like anthracite. In the utilization phase, grey hydrogen-fueled stationary fuel cells emit more GHGs than the national grid. By contrast, FCEVs demonstrate a 58.2% GHG reduction compared to internal combustion vehicles, with regional variability. Importantly, this study omits the distribution phase (storage and transport) due to data heterogeneity and a lack of reliable datasets, which limits the comprehensiveness of the LCA. Future research should incorporate sensitivity or scenario-based analyses such as comparisons between pipeline transport and liquefied hydrogen transport to better capture distribution-phase impacts. The study concludes that the environmental benefit of hydrogen systems is highly dependent on production pathways, end-use sectors, and regional conditions. Strategic deployment of green hydrogen, regional optimization, and the explicit integration of distribution and storage in future assessments are essential to enhancing hydrogen’s contribution to national carbon neutrality goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su17229944","authors":["Jae-Young Lee","S.

Then, it analyzes the problems and future development trend of intelligent diagnosis technology, and points out that developing a health management system integrating weak fault signal extraction, multi-source data analysis, quantitative judgment of fault mode, remaining life prediction and maintenance suggestions is an important development goal in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54097/ajst.v1i2.351","authors":["Qingguo Shi","Yihuai Hu"],"tags":["Fault (geology)","Diesel engine","Fuel injection","Engineering","Work (physics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-05-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.54097/ajst.v1i2.351","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4413922438","name":"Multifractal Characterization of Marine Shale Pore Structure Alteration Induced by Supercritical CO2–Water–Rock Interaction","source":"openalex","abstract":"Supercritical CO2 (ScCO2) injection has emerged as a promising method to enhance shale gas recovery while simultaneously achieving CO2 sequestration. This research investigates how ScCO2 interacts with water and shale rock, altering the pore structure characteristics of shale reservoirs. The study examines shale samples from three marine shale formations in southern China under varying thermal and pressure regimes simulating burial conditions at 1000 m (45 °C and 10 MPa) and 2000 m (80 °C and 20 MPa). The research employs multiple analytical techniques including XRD for mineral composition analysis, MICP, N2GA, and CO2GA for comprehensive pore characterization, FE–SEM for visual observation of mineral and pore changes, and multifractal theory to analyze pore structure heterogeneity and connectivity. Key findings indicate that ScCO2–water–shale interactions lead to dissolution of minerals such as kaolinite, calcite, dolomite, and chlorite, and as the reaction proceeds, substantial secondary mineral precipitation occurs, with these changes being more pronounced under 2000 m simulation conditions. Mineral dissolution and precipitation cause changes in pore structure parameters of different pore sizes, with macropores showing increased PV and decreased SSA, mesopores showing decreased PV and SSA, and micropores showing insignificant changes. Moreover, mineral precipitation effects are stronger than dissolution effects. These changes in pore structure parameters lead to alterations in multifractal parameters, with mineral precipitation reducing pore connectivity and consequently enhancing pore heterogeneity. Correlation analysis further revealed that H and D−10–D10 exhibit a significant negative correlation, confirming that reduced connectivity corresponds to stronger heterogeneity, while mineral composition strongly controls the multifractal responses of macropores and mesopores, with micropores mainly undergoing morphological changes. However, these changes in micropores are mainly manifested as modifications of internal space. Siliceous shale samples exhibit stronger structural stability compared to argillaceous shale, which is attributed to the mechanical strength of the quartz framework. By integrating multifractal theory with multi–scale pore characterization, this study achieves a unified quantification of shale pore heterogeneity and connectivity under ScCO2–water interactions at reservoir–representative pressure–temperature conditions. This novelty not only advances the methodological framework but also provides critical support for understanding CO2–enhanced shale gas recovery mechanisms and CO2 geological sequestration in depleted shale gas reservoirs, highlighting the complex coupling between geochemical reactions and pore structure evolution.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/fractalfract9090582","authors":["Haonan Wei","Yi Du","Changqing Fu","Gaoqiang Fu","Yingfang Zhou","Jinfeng Ma","Zhenliang Wang","Zhejun Pan","Wei Gao"],"tags":["Multifractal system","Supercritical fluid","Oil shale","Geology","Characterization (materials science)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/fractalfract9090582","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411468593","name":"Circular Economy Implementation for Plastic Products in SMEs: Framework Development and Practical Application in Case Studies","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Plastics are of key importance for numerous technical applications due to their functional properties and cost efficiency. However, their production from fossil raw materials and disposal pose major environmental problems. The transition to a circular economy (CE) is supposed to address these problems and is particularly difficult for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). A framework is developed that illustrates circular economy (CE) strategies in the plastics industry, focussing on the practical implementation in the product life cycle and the actual contribution to a CE. Case studies of a polypropylene desk equipment and a polyurethane foam insulation element illustrate the practical application of the developed framework in two German SMEs and indicate further need for support. The developed CE concepts for both product systems were evaluated based on their environmental impacts using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The results show that CE strategies must be product-specific to be effective. Strategies such as the use of post-industrial recyclates and the use of biobased materials offer advantages but are not sufficient on their own to close material cycles. Closed-loop recycling and the reuse of products require customised collection systems but can contribute to truly closed material cycles. Overall, this framework serves as a starting point for identification of CE concepts for plastic products by companies and thereby promotes the transition to a more circular plastics economy. Future research should focus on evaluation of technical compatibility and long-term consequences as well as scalability of CE strategies and on alternative evaluation approaches.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s43615-025-00610-7","authors":["Meret Jürgens","Marina Mudersbach","Hans‐Josef Endres"],"tags":["Circular economy","Reuse","Compatibility (geochemistry)","Life-cycle assessment","Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s43615-025-00610-7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4308652082","name":"Evaluation of investment strategies for rooftop distributed PV and CCS technologies in China under multiple scenarios","source":"openalex","abstract":"CCS technology is significant to achieve carbon emission reduction in the current coal-based energy mix in China, just as PV received more policy subsidies from the Chinese government to promote its industry development in the early stage, and all parties in the society, including the government and enterprises, have paid attention to and supported the development of CCS technology to promote the implementation of carbon emission reduction. This paper evaluates the regional investment benefits and investment timing of CCS retrofitting and RTDPV in different scenarios for each province in China based on the real option approach. The results show that the initial cost subsidy and participation in the carbon market are not as effective as the feed-in tariff subsidy, and the investment return of CCS retrofit is better than RTDPV in the scenario with feed-in tariff subsidy, and most provinces can achieve immediate investment. RTDPV without subsidies cannot achieve full parity nationwide yet, and some provinces are not suitable for investment without participating in the carbon market. The net present value approach would underestimate the investment value of CCS and RTDPV and prematurely reject investment in many scenarios, while provinces under the real option approach tend to delay investment to obtain optimal investment returns.

We studied whether ultrasound-guided superficial parasternal intercostal plane block (SPIP) before surgical aortic valve replacement via full sternotomy would ameliorate postoperative lung function and filtration capacity. METHODS: A total of 74 consecutive patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement were randomized to receive either or not additional SPIP. Pre- and postoperative lung function tests were compared among the patients. Venous and arterial blood samples were collected to calculate lung filtration (venous/arterial) of the inflammatory factors chemerin, chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), resistin, and interleukin-6 (IL6) immediately before (T1), 1 hour after releasing aortic cross-clamp (T2), and on the following morning (T3) after surgery in 30 age- and sex-adjusted patients. RESULTS: Patients with SPIP were older as compared to those without (66.7 [10.7] vs 60.2 [13.4], years, respectively, P < 0.04). Neither other patient characteristics nor preoperative lung functions differed between the patient groups. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV), forced volume capacity (FVC), and relative FVC changes decreased less in patients treated with wound analgesia as compared to those without (P = 0.024, P = 0.042, and P = 0.042).

This study aimed to explore the strategies nurses use to manage workplace violence in the Iranian healthcare context. METHODS: This qualitative study employed an inductive content analysis approach. Sixteen nurses were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via in-depth, semi-structured individual interviews conducted between August 2024 and March 2025. Data analysis was conducted concurrently with data collection through Elo and Kyngäs (2008) method. Through constant comparison, codes were categorized into subcategories manually, which were then synthesized into overarching themes to capture the broader meaning of the data. RESULTS: The study included 16 nurses (7 men and 9 women) working in four hospitals across two urban areas in Iran. The primary strategy identified was \"active endurance,\" comprising two main categories: \"endurance reactions\" and \"seeking support.\" Endurance reactions included 5 strategies such as effective communication, providing appropriate care, empathy, anger management, and self-care. Seeking support included 3 strategies such as effective teamwork, requesting support, and striving for justice. CONCLUSION: Active endurance involves 2 main strategies. Firstly nurses through effective communication, delivering appropriate care, self-care and anger management, try to manage violent situations. When circumstances are beyond their control, nurses attempt to obtain support from other members of the organization. This approach represents an active coping mechanism, wherein nurses neither passively tolerate violence nor react aggressively. Instead, they adopt strategies to manage and mitigate workplace violence. The findings of this study can inform interventions aimed at empowering nurses to effectively handle workplace violence and improve its management.

Traffic signal control systems (TSCSs) significantly influence traffic flows at intersections. Therefore, adaptive TSCSs (ATSCSs) that can adjust to traffic conditions in real‐time have been proposed as more efficient alternatives. However, the expensive implementation of these systems highlights the need for judicious investments in appropriate technologies and infrastructure. Therefore, a comprehensive technology roadmap should be built that guides the future development of traffic control and the infusion of technologies to address traffic needs. Additionally, as ATSCSs are developed and managed by local governments, the perspective of a government‐led technology roadmap is required to guide the roadmap development and implementation. Although studies have explored technology roadmaps across numerous sectors, the viewpoint of roadmap development guided by government entities is frequently neglected despite the role of these entities in shaping technological policies, underwriting research and development initiatives, and driving nationwide innovation strategies. In this study, a comprehensive framework is proposed for developing technology roadmaps tailored for systems and technologies led by governmental entities. This framework has been adapted from the Advanced Technology Roadmap Architecture (ATRA) and brought original adjustments thereby addressing the research gap. The study also presents strategic recommendations for the ATSCS implementation in South Korea, integrating systems engineering principles for a holistic approach to technological advancements. The framework can be replicated to serve as a guide for governments seeking to implement effective and efficient technology roadmaps for public infrastructure systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/sys.21772","authors":["Ana Theodora Balaci","Eun Suk Suh"],"tags":["Government (linguistics)","Traffic signal","Control (management)","Computer science","SIGNAL (programming language)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/sys.21772","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415644384","name":"Comparative Study on the Application of Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber (HNBR) and Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomers (EPDM) in the Sealing Materials of Lithium Batteries","source":"openalex","abstract":"ABSTRACT The effects of the dosage of calcined kaolin on the processing performance, vulcanisation characteristics and basic mechanical properties of hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) were preliminarily investigated and compared.

For HNBR, increasing the dosage of kaolin slightly increased its Mooney viscosity, had a minor effect on its vulcanisation characteristics, enhanced 100% modulus, tensile strength and other properties, but increased compression set.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1049/ema3.70027","authors":["Fangzheng Mu","Hang Yin","Xiaosheng Liu","Jingkai Nie","Jiayong Xu","Jakub Kadlčák","Guangyong Liu"],"tags":["Vulcanization","Materials science","Ultimate tensile strength","Mooney viscosity","Diene"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1049/ema3.70027","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403247446","name":"Causal relationship between oral microbiota and epilepsy risk: Evidence from Mendelian randomization analysis in East Asians","source":"openalex","abstract":"OBJECTIVE: Gut microbiota can traverse into the brain, activate the vagus nerve, and modulate immune responses and inflammatory processes, thereby influencing the onset of epileptic seizures. However, research on oral microbiota and epilepsy remains limited, and observational studies have been inconsistent. We aim to estimate the potential links between oral microbiota and epilepsy and elucidate which specific oral microbes may directly influence the pathogenesis of epilepsy. METHODS: A two-sample MR analysis was conducted using genome-wide association study (GWAS) data specific to OM and epilepsy in East Asian individuals. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) independent of confounders served as instrumental variables (IVs) to deduce causality. MR methodologies, including inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, weighted median, and weighed mode methods, were utilized. Sensitivity analysis, including Cochrane's Q test, MR-Egger intercept test, and leave-one-out analysis, was applied to confirm the robustness of results. RESULTS: Among the 3117 bacterial taxa examined, we observed that 14 OM, like s_Streptococcus_mitis, s_Streptococcus_pneumoniae, and s_Haemophilus, were positively associated with epilepsy, while 7 OM, like g_Fusobacterium and g_Aggregatibacter, were negatively related to epilepsy. The MR-Egger intercept suggested that no evidence of horizontal pleiotropy was observed (p > 0.05). The leave-one-out analysis validated the robustness of the results. SIGNIFICANCE: This study underscores the effect of OM on epilepsy, suggesting potential mechanisms between the OM and epilepsy. Further investigation into the potential role of the OM is needed to enhance our in-depth understanding of the pathogenesis of epilepsy. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Previous research has demonstrated that the microbiota may influence the onset of epileptic seizures. We applied 3117 oral microbiota from the newest publicly available database of East Asian populations. Mendelian randomization analysis was utilized to estimate the causal relationship between oral microbiota and epilepsy. Our results showed that a causal effect exists between 21 oral microbiota and epilepsy. We provided genetic evidence for risk assessment and early intervention in epilepsy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/epi4.13074","authors":["Chenyang Zhao","Fei Chen","Qiong Li","Wei Zhang","Lixiu Peng","Chaoyan Yue"],"tags":["Epilepsy","Mendelian randomization","Single-nucleotide polymorphism","Genome-wide association study","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/epi4.13074","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412072371","name":"Mathematical modeling of interconnected absorber-desorber hollow-fiber membrane contactors for CO2 capture using MEA solution","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract In this work, comprehensive three-dimensional models were developed for an interconnected nondispersive absorber–desorber system using hollow fiber membrane contactors (HFMCs) for CO 2 capture with monoethanolamine solution.

Simulation results showed that the desorption could reach an efficiency of about 99% by increasing the temperature to 373.15 K. In addition, different geometries of HFMC were studied to enhance the absorption process. The use of shell baffles showed an increase in the absorption efficiency by nearly 5%.

Advances in molecular profiling allow the detection of genetic, epigenetic, immune, and microenvironmental alterations associated with cancer risk. Liquid biopsy permits noninvasive analysis of circulating tumor cells, nucleic acids, immune cells, extracellular vesicles, proteins, cytokines, and metabolites, whereas metagenome analysis facilitates gut microbiota profiling. Multicancer early detection assays broaden this approach, capturing signals from multiple malignancies using a single blood sample. These technologies go beyond genomics, addressing immune dysregulation and metabolic shifts, and may help identify gut microbiota imbalances. Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential is gaining increasing recognition as a biomarker. Cardiovascular risk scores based on multiple parameters are an inspiring example. The analysis of a combination of cancer drivers and enablers should provide a more sensitive and personalized measure of cancer prodromic profiles. Artificial intelligence will further support this transition by integrating molecular, immune, and metabolic data to develop individualized risk profiles. This shift from single-cancer detection to integrated, mechanism-based screening fosters a more proactive prevention model. This combination of early detection empowers cancer interception by using strategies, including lifestyle modification, nutritional optimization, drug repurposing, pharmacologic interventions, and targeted chemoprevention. Moving beyond single parameters analysis and organ-specific screening, this multidimensional approach advances early detection and interception as practical clinical goals, facilitating the fundamental aim of positioning prevention at the forefront of oncology.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1158/1940-6207.capr-24-0558","authors":["Adriana Albini","Dario Trapani","Francesco Bertolini","Douglas M.

Moreover, 412 coronary care unit patients from Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University were also included in the external validation set. The AKI-specific inflammatory index (ASII) was created using various inflammatory indices significantly associated with AKI. We further developed and validated two nomograms based on the ASII and other informative clinical features of AKI and prognosis. RESULTS: The ASII was calculated as 2.317×MLR+0.417×GPS+0.007×ALRI. In the training set, patients with a high ASII had a higher risk of incident AKI (odds ratio [OR], 5.33; 95% confidence index [CI], 3.60-7.88; P<0.001) than those with a low ASII with or without pre-existing chronic kidney disease. The nomograms for AKI and prognosis based on the ASII and other significant clinical characteristics had high predictive value in the prediction of AKI and prognosis in patients in the ICU. Moreover, the results in the internal validation set and in the external validation cohort were almost consistent with those in the training set.

Following the relaxation of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) post COVID-19, there has been a global increase in MPP cases and macrolide-resistant strains. Vaccination against M. pneumoniae is being explored as a promising approach to reduce infections, limit antibiotic misuse, and prevent the emergence of drug-resistant variants. We developed an mRNA vaccine, mRNA-SP+P1, incorporating a eukaryotic signal peptide (tissue-type plasminogen activator signal peptide) fused to the C-terminal region of the P1 protein. Targeting amino acids 1288 to 1518 of the P1 protein, the vaccine was administered intramuscularly to BALB/c mice in a three-dose regimen. To evaluate immunogenicity, we quantified anti-P1 IgG antibody titers using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and assessed cellular immune responses by analyzing effector memory T cell populations using flow cytometry. We also tested the functional activity of vaccine-induced sera for their ability to inhibit adhesion of the ATCC M129 strain to KMB17 cells. The vaccine’s protective efficacy was assessed against the ATCC M129 strain and its cross-protection against the ST3-resistant strain. Transcriptomic analysis was conducted to investigate gene expression changes in peripheral blood, aiming to uncover mechanisms of immune modulation. The mRNA-SP+P1 vaccine induces P1 protein-specific IgG antibodies and an effector memory T-cell response in BALB/c mice. Adhesion inhibition assays demonstrated that serum from vaccinated mice attenuatesthe adhesion ability of ATCC M129 to KMB17 cells. Furthermore, three doses of the vaccine confer significant and long-lasting, though partial, protection against the ATCC M129 strain and partial cross-protection against the ST3 drug-resistant strain. Transcriptome analysis revealed significant gene expression changes in peripheral blood, confirming the vaccine’s capacity to elicit an immune response from the molecular level. Our results indicate that the mRNA-SP+P1 vaccine appears to be an effective vaccine candidate against the prevalence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms26136536","authors":["Fenglian Zhang","Chengwei Li","Yanan Wu","Hongyun Chuan","Shaohui Song","Yun Xie","Qi Zhu","Qianqian Chen","Fei Tong","Runfang Zhang","Guangbo Yuan","Xiaoyan Wu","Jian Zhou","Guoyang Liao"],"tags":["Immune system","Mycoplasma pneumoniae","Biology","Immunogenicity","Microbiology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms26136536","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409637652","name":"Carbon Footprint Analysis of Chemical Production: A Case Study of Blue Hydrogen Production","source":"openalex","abstract":"Interest in hydrogen has grown as a means to decarbonize future energy systems. To maximize hydrogen’s potential as the main energy carrier, the infrastructure for hydrogen production, distribution, and storage needs to be designed and developed at a global scale. Carbon footprint analysis is an important metric for ensuring that the environmental impact of the developed plant is kept at a minimum. However, application of conventional methods during the conceptual design stage is challenging due to lack of detailed process data coupled with the large number of potential designs to be vetted. As a result, there is a need to develop rapid screening techniques that can be used during the conceptual design stage to gauge potential carbon footprints. To address this issue, a simplified carbon footprint analysis method is proposed in this work. Two indices are introduced, i.e., “product carbon intensity” and “economic carbon intensity”, to allow comprehensive analysis of the performance of design alternatives. By limiting the scope and basic economic analysis, the simplified carbon footprint analysis requires less data, and hence expedite the analysis process. The methodology is demonstrated through analysis of four design scenarios for blue hydrogen production. Among the scenarios, hydrogen production with both carbon capture and pre-reforming yielded better results based on product carbon intensity (2.43 kg CO2/kg H2), while design with only carbon capture performed better based on economic carbon intensity (11.25 kg CO2/USD). Thus, high potential design scenarios were successfully identified based on the newly introduced indices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pr13041254","authors":["Eric Y. H.

However, there is a paucity of literature regarding the risk factors for in-hospital death in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and TVD. In this retrospective study, we examined the determinants of in-hospital death in patients with NSTEMI and TVD who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for culprit lesions. Methods The primary objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with in-hospital death using a multivariate analysis. We included 253 patients with NSTEMI and TVD and divided them into a survivor group (n=239) and an in-hospital death group (n=14). Results Systolic blood pressure (SBP) at admission was significantly higher in the survivor group than in the in-hospital death group. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was also higher in the survivor group than in the in-hospital death group. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, in-hospital death was inversely associated with the SBP at admission [odds ratio (OR) 0.984, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.970-0.999, p<0.035] and eGFR (OR 0.966, 95% CI 0.939-0.994, p=0.019) and was associated with cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) before PCI (OR 8.448, 95% CI 1.863-38.309, p=0.006).

We read with great interest a paper published by Yildiz et al. [1] from 3 reference institutions dwelling on the potential benefits of simultaneous aortic hemiarch replacement with the index VSRR; the report on 986 patients, separated in equally distributed subgroups with or without accompanying hemiarch replacement. Among them, there were 213 patients with heritable aortic disease. During 10 years of follow-up, no benefit of hemiarch replacement has been noticed with regard to survival and redo-interventions. Moreover, in the last JTCVS issue, the Washington group described the striking observation that the risk of distal aortic dissection was higher in patient with Marfan syndrome after previous root replacement compared with those without surgery to the ascending aorta [2]. As a consequence, they challenge any benefit of a simultaneous arch operation but fail to provide a valid explanation. The critical appraisal of contemporary data may propose some potential mechanism related to altered flow characteristics in the distal arch and descending aorta; functional magnetic resonance studies had provided evidence that alterations of flow pattern in the aorta relates to root dilatation in Marfan patients who are more susceptible to shear stress due to loss of smooth muscle functionality. Interestingly, vorticity and excentricity index of flow are altered not only in anatomic structures of the root but also in the descending aorta [3]. Hence, this segment of the aorta is the most frequent localization of a distal dissection tear and correlates with the spatial distribution of tension forces. Recent analysis of left ventricular outflow tract angulation after aortic root replacement has proven that a replaced aortic root causes significant change of shear forces and its propagation [4]. Increased angulation is likely to disrupt laminar flow and increase wall shear stress on the aortic arch convexity. Interestingly, a similar observation has been demonstrated in a very recent computational simulation by the Toronto group [5]. After VSRR in Marfan patients, peak oscillatory and shear forces indexes are located exactly in the proximal descending thoracic aorta. Those alteration in flow characteristics and velocity distribution may result from the tilt between the left ventricular outflow and the long axis of the neo-root. In conclusion, there are 2 potential factors increasing the susceptibility to distal aortic dissection after proximal replacement surgery: first, flow-related wall shear stress abnormalities and, second, focal increase in pressure-related wall stress [2]. In order to mitigate the risk of an acute distal aortic dissection after proximal repair/replacement some measures can be considered. First, analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging of localized wall shear stress in the descending aorta after VSRR may identify more distally located peaks of wall stress and flow alterations (possibly identifying patients requiring further treatment) [6]. Second, any surgical intervention to the ascending aorta should aim at avoiding any angulation in laminar flow direction including deep dissection towards the annulus during reimplantation, and likewise applying complete FAA stabilization with internal and external annuloplast during root remodelling [7]. Conflict of interest: none declared.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ejcts/ezaf152","authors":["Marek Jasiński","Ulrich Rosendahl","Christoph Nienaber"],"tags":["Marfan syndrome","Medicine","Aortic root","Dissection (medical)","Aortic dissection"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ejcts/ezaf152","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W7127165495","name":"ЕС – Индия (март – май 2025 г.)","source":"openalex","abstract":"СОДЕРЖАНИЕ Стр.ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬ ИНСТИТУТОВ ЕС Погорельская С.В.Европейский парламент (декабрь 2024 г. -май 2025 г.) ……….4 Гуселетов Б.П.Европейский парламент: деятельность ведущих политических групп (март -май 2025 г.) ……………………………………………...9 ОСНОВНЫЕ НАПРАВЛЕНИЯ ПОЛИТИКИ ЕС Цибулина А.Н.Экономический и валютный союз (март -май 2025 г.) …………..13 Белов В.Б.Экономическая политика Германии (весна 2025 г.) ……………………16 Белов В.Б.Реализация водородных стратегий Германии и Европейского союза (весна 2025 г.) …………………………………………………………………...22 Коломин В.О.Общая рыболовная политика (февраль -май 2025 г.) ……………...28 Говорова Н.В.Социальная политика и рынок труда (март -май 2025 г.) …….......33 Базаркина Д.Ю.Общая внешняя политика и политика безопасности Европейского союза (март -май 2025 г.) ………………………………………..…...37 Потемкина О.Ю.Продвижение реформы системы предоставления убежища в рамках Пакта о миграции и убежище (март -май 2025 г.) …………………..…...42 Потемкина О.Ю.Новые законодательные инициативы в сфере внутренних дел и юстиции (март -май 2025 г.) ……………………………………..46 Табаринцева-Романова К.М.Культура и образование ЕС (март -май 2025 г.) ......50 ЕС И ВНЕШНИЙ МИР Пинигина Е.С.ЕС -Россия: экономические санкции (март -май 2025 г.) ……….54 Тяжелова В.В., Шарапова-Антонова К.Ю.ЕС -Молдавия: зима -весна 2024-2025 гг.) …………………………………………………………………………...58 Бабынина Л.О.«Перезагрузка» отношений ЕС и Соединённого Королевства при лейбористском правительстве (лето 2024 г. -весна 2025 г.) …………………..61 Шариков П.А.Отношения ЕС и США весной 2025 г. ……………………………...67 Грачёва М.Л.Стратегическое партнёрство ЕС и стран Центральной Азии: политические заявления и реалии ……………………………………………….……70Грачёва М.Л.ЕС -Индия (март -май 2025 г.) ……………………………………...74 Биссон Л.С.Отношения ЕС -Африка весной 2025 г. ………………………………77 Сведения об авторах ………………………………………………………………….81 ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬ ИНСТИТУТОВ ЕС УДК 327.3 Светлана ПОГОРЕЛЬСКАЯ * ЕВРОПЕЙСКИЙ ПАРЛАМЕНТ (декабрь 2024 г. -май 2025 г.","url":"https://doi.org/10.15211/eufacts220257476","authors":["Marina Gracheva"],"tags":["Product (mathematics)","Identification (biology)","Work (physics)","Computer science","Field (mathematics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.15211/eufacts220257476","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4415219223","name":"Sustainable Methods for Extracting Antioxidants From Vegetable and Fruit Waste (VFW)","source":"openalex","abstract":"Vegetable and fruit waste (VFW) is generated in large quantities worldwide and contains valuable antioxidants such as phenolics, flavonoids, carotenoids, and vitamins. Efficient and environmental friendly extraction of these molecules is of great importance for applications in food, medicine, and cosmetics. It involves various sustainable methods for the isolation of antioxidants from VFW, including pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), green solvent extraction (GSE), deep eutectic solvents (DESs/NADES), and ionic liquids (ILs). Among these, UAE and MAE were found to be highly efficient in extraction with less energy consumption, whereas DESs/NADES yielded eco-friendly procedures with high selectivity.

A key payload on EnVision is the VenSpec Suite, designed to deliver unprecedented insights into Venus’ geological activity, atmospheric composition, and surface evolution. By targeting signatures of volcanic activity and mapping both surface and atmospheric features, VenSpec will seek to understand the processes shaping Venus today and in the past, and to provide insights into the evolution and habitability of terrestrial planetsThe VenSpec Suite Instruments: The VenSpec Suite is following the holistic approach of the EnVision mission by studying the coupled system of surface and atmosphere on Venus with three complementary instruments, VenSpec-M, VenSpec-H, VenSpec-U and a Central Control Unit (CCU):VenSpec-U is an ultraviolet spectral imager (at low and high spectral resolution between 190 and 380 nm) [1]. By probing how volcanic outgassing and atmospheric dynamics interact through the upper cloud level, VenSpec-U complement and enhance the VenSpec-H and VenSpec-M observations. VenSpec-H is an infrared spectrometer, with four spectral bands in the near IR between 1.16 and 2.48 μm, that will provide measurements of atmospheric gases in the troposphere and mesosphere of Venus at high spectral resolution [2]. These observations will help identify volcanic plumes and gas exchanges with the surface, in coordination with VenSpec-M and VenSpec-U. Polarization filters are also included in the design to characterize the hazes in the mesosphere. VenSpec-M is a multispectral imaging spectrometer in 14 near-IR transparency windows (0.79–1.51 μm). It will observe the Venus surface across five atmospheric windows around 1 μm and monitor the planet for volcanic activity using clouds and water vapor bands [3]. To retrieve calibrated emissivity data from the Venus surface, VenSpec-M will utilize improved topography from NASA VERITAS’s VISAR and EnVision’s VenSAR-derived Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). The CCU is a simple and robust interface to the spacecraft, providing an abstraction layer between the channels and the spacecraft. The CCU offers a harmonized power and data interface to the spacecraft and allows the channels to design a simple, tailored internal interface to the CCU [4]. VenSpec Scientific Objectives: VenSpec will deliver crucial data for understanding Venus’ present state and evolutionary history, with the following primary objectives:Comprehensive Volcanic Activity Search - VenSpec will perform a thorough search for volcanic activity by detecting atmospheric, thermal, and compositional signatures, as well as by mapping surface composition globally; Atmosphere-Surface Coupling – The VenSpec suite is designed to follow volcanic plumes from their source near the surface (VenSpec-M, VenSpec-H) through the middle atmosphere (VenSpec-H) and up to the cloud tops (VenSpec-U), offering a holistic view of gas exchanges and atmospheric processes; Tropospheric trace gases - VenSpec-H will detect and quantify key volcanic and cloud-forming gases (SO₂, H₂O, HDO, OCS, CO, HCl) in the atmosphere, lower and upper; Surface Composition - VenSpec-M will provide near-global data on rock types and surface weathering, helping to understand crustal evolution and the history of volcanic resurfacing; Upper Atmosphere Studies - VenSpec-U and -H will monitor trace gases (CO, H2O, OCS, SO, SO₂), cloud top altitude and the mysterious UV absorber in the upper clouds, shedding light on atmospheric chemistry and its links to volcanism The VenSpec Joint Science Team: The VenSpec Suite is coordinated by a joint science team that ensures seamless integration and cooperation among the instruments.

The paper examines the European Union (EU)'s and Japan's approaches to fostering energy transition in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan). Central Asian economies' robust renewable energy (RE) development potential is barely tapped due to technological, financing, and institutional constraints. The EU and Japan pursue energy transition security, possess certain technological advantages, and seek greater normative power in global decarbonization.

Therefore, slag valorization is necessary to maintain a resource-efficient operation. An attractive application for these iron silicate slags is as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), which effectively lowers the CO2 emissions per ton of concrete. Although utilizing iron silicate slags as SCMs has been studied in previous work, the scientific literature has limited data on the isolated effect of composition on the inherent reactivity in cementitious systems. In particular, no reports on the impact of the FeO/SiO2 ratio have been presented in previous publications. Therefore, the present study aimed to isolate this parameter in a synthetic FeO–SiO2–Al2O3–CaO–MgO–Cr2O3 system. Since the amorphous content is a pertinent parameter for SCMs, a hot-stage confocal laser scanning microscope was utilized to assess the crystallization behavior at continuous cooling conditions. Furthermore, high-temperature rheological experiments were conducted to measure the viscosities of the slags in relation to the crystallization behavior. The experiments highlighted that depolymerizing the slag by increasing the FeO/SiO2 ratio poses increased demands on the cooling rate to avoid crystallization, which was consistent with the rheological data on the impact of temperature on structural changes in the slags. Furthermore, Rapid Reliable Relevant (R3) isothermal calorimeter experiments, assessing the inherent reactivity as an SCM, showed that increasing FeO/SiO2 ratios improves early reactivity at the expense of seven-day reactivity, i.e., a balance between the degree of polymerization and contribution of silicon to the reactions.

Experiments reveal that 5 Hz vibration significantly enhances CO2 dissolution, while higher frequencies (10 Hz and 20 Hz) hinder the process. A more homogeneous and extensive distribution of oil-depleted cavities further improves dissolution rates, particularly in post-gas flooding scenarios. The dissolution process, observed under constant pressure conditions, is categorized into three stages: cavity filling, fast dissolution, and slow dissolution. Vibration stimulation effectively enhances the fast dissolution stage but has a minimal impact on the slow dissolution stage. Intermittent vibration shows mixed effects, improving dissolution at 100% oil saturation but reducing rates at 90% saturation due to cavity-induced flow disruptions. These findings demonstrate the potential of vibration-stimulated CO2 dissolution (VS-CO2 dissolution) as a novel technique for enhancing CO2 storage and heavy oil recovery in reservoirs.

The gold standard treatment combines excisional surgery and antimicrobial therapy, but patients deemed inoperable might benefit from a conservative approach. Outcomes of patients treated only with antimicrobial agents without reoperative surgery are scanty. We aim to describe patients' characteristics and outcomes using an antibiotic-only strategy without thorough debridement. METHODS: Retrospectively collected data from a prospective cohort in a tertiary centre. Descriptive analysis for baseline characteristics and Kaplan-Meier estimates for survival were performed. RESULTS: From November 2012 to December 2022, 66 patients were identified with aortic root, ascending aortic and aortic arch graft infections. Of these, 44 received an antibiotic-only strategy or in combination with selective debridement after achieving multidisciplinary consensus. Median follow-up was 4.8 years [interquartile range (IQR) 1.7-6.1], and cumulative survival was 82.9% (CI 95%, 69.7-96.1). Streptococcus spp were the most common isolated microorganisms.

Although CCTs are widely viewed as essential for net-zero transitions, the literature is still scattered across many subthemes, and links between engineering advances, infrastructure deployment, and policy design are often weak. Methods that rely mainly on citations or keyword frequencies tend to overlook contextual meaning and the subtle diffusion of ideas across these strands, making it difficult to reconstruct clear developmental pathways. To address this problem, we ask the following: How do CCT topics change over time? What evolutionary mechanisms drive these transitions? And which themes act as bridges between technical lineages? We first build a curated corpus using a PRISMA-based screening process. We then apply BERTopic, integrating Sentence-BERT embeddings with UMAP, HDBSCAN, and class-based TF-IDF, to identify and label coherent semantic topics. Topic evolution is modeled through a PCC-weighted, top-K filtered network, where cross-year connections are categorized as inheritance, convergence, differentiation, or extinction. These patterns are further interpreted with a Fish-Scale Multiscience mapping to clarify underlying theoretical and disciplinary lineages. Our results point to a two-stage trajectory: an early formation phase followed by a period of rapid expansion. Long-standing research lines persist in amine absorption, membrane separation, and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), while direct air capture emerges later and becomes increasingly stable. Across the full period, five evolutionary mechanisms operate in parallel. We also find that techno-economic assessment, life-cycle and carbon accounting, and regulation–infrastructure coordination serve as key “weak-tie” bridges that connect otherwise separated subfields. Overall, the study reconstructs the core–periphery structure and maturity of CCT research and demonstrates that combining semantic topic modeling with theory-aware mapping complements strong-tie bibliometric approaches and offers a clearer, more transferable framework for understanding technology evolution.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/asi8060187","authors":["Kuei‐Kuei Lai","Yarsun Hsu","Chih-Wen Hsiao"],"tags":["Data science","Meaning (existential)","Computer science","Discipline","Point (geometry)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/asi8060187","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W7130726337","name":"Climate Change: Key Contributors and Sustainable Solutions","source":"openalex","abstract":"Climate change, driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors, represents one of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century. The primary contributors to climate change include greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, as well as natural events like volcanic eruptions and variations in solar radiation. Among these, carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) are the most significant greenhouse gases, with their rising concentrations in the atmosphere intensifying the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming. This paper explores the key drivers of climate change and examines the wide-ranging environmental, social, and economic impacts. In response to these challenges, the paper also reviews sustainable solutions, including the transition to renewable energy, improvements in energy efficiency, carbon capture technologies, reforestation, and sustainable agricultural practices. The potential for innovation in green technologies, along with policy frameworks that promote international cooperation and climate resilience, is discussed as a means to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Ultimately, addressing climate change requires a global, multi-faceted approach to reduce emissions, protect ecosystems, and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.","url":"https://doi.org/10.65998/ijees.v3i1.105","authors":["Khalid Mohamed Omemen","Mona Othman Aldbbah"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Climate change","Natural resource economics","Renewable energy","Global warming"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.65998/ijees.v3i1.105","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4310154017","name":"Recent Progress on Natural Fibers Mixed with CFRP and GFRP: Properties, Characteristics, and Failure Behaviour","source":"openalex","abstract":"Research on natural-fiber-reinforced polymer composite is continuously developing.

These degradation pathways in American petroleum institute (API) Class/ordinary Portland cement (OPC) systems are well documented in laboratory and field observations for CO2-rich wellbore service. In contrast, while geopolymer/alkali-activated binders have been increasingly studied as alternatives, the evidence remains distributed across different precursor chemistries, exposure conditions, and test protocols, and a consolidated, mechanism-based synthesis specific to CO2 sequestration wells is still limited. Accordingly, this article presents a critical, narrative (non-systematic) review that synthesizes published laboratory and field studies on geopolymer/alkali-activated binders for CO2 sequestration wells, with emphasis on permeability, strength retention, and microstructural stability under CO2-rich exposure. The main outcome of this review is a mechanism-based synthesis that links CO2–binder reaction pathways (gel chemistry/phase evolution) to pore-network and transport changes, and consolidates quantitative performance benchmarks (permeability and strength retention) relative to API Class G/OPC, while defining the key validation gaps for qualification (HPHT, cyclic/tensile integrity, mixed fluids, and long-term monitoring). Laboratory tests have already demonstrated that geopolymer samples have ultralow permeability and preserve 90% of their strength after being treated with supercritical CO2 concentrations, while OPC loses its strength and produces macropores causing substantial growth of cement sheath porosity. Microstructural studies have shown that geopolymers do not contain portlandite but only N–A–S–H/C–A–S–H gels with low Ca content in concentrations high enough to create N–A–S–H/C–A–S–H gels, but do not suffer from multi-zone carbonation, as occurs for OPC concrete. Key challenges being tackled include slurry rheology, setting control and variability of precursors by designed admixture use and new performance specifications for higher-quality geopolymers. On the whole, geopolymers emerge as a sustainable and reliable alternative to traditional well cementing techniques for their sustainability well integrity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules31040620","authors":["Omer Mohamed Bakri","Ahmed Abdulhamid Mahmoud"],"tags":["Cement","Portlandite","Portland cement","Geopolymer","Supercritical fluid"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules31040620","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411068305","name":"Long-Term Use of Nuclear Energy from the Aspect of Economy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions","source":"openalex","abstract":"Conventional sources of electricity are limited and they pollute the Earth, so it is necessary to think about an additional source of electricity in the future. Nuclear power is one of the options. Two scenarios using different shares of nuclear power in the future are described in this paper. Scenario 1 describes a moderate increase in nuclear energy use in the future, but with a tendency for a larger increase over 2050. Scenario 2 describes a significant increase in nuclear energy until 2100. Both scenarios are divided into three sub-scenarios (total six) in which the use of different nuclear technologies is analyzed (conventional liquid water reactors, fast breeder reactors and molten salt reactors using thorium as nuclear fuel). In all scenarios, the phase-out of fossil fuel power plants is assumed. One part of the power system is covered by nuclear power plants, and the remaining part is covered by renewable energy power plants. After 2050, an increasing share of the electricity system will be taken over by RES power plants. Nuclear fuel stocks are also analyzed. It is calculated that currently known nuclear fuel stocks are sufficient to meet the needs in all six scenarios. The carbon dioxide emissions saved due to nuclear energy use instead of conventional energy power plants are calculated. The CO2eq emission savings for Scenario 1 is 87.4% of the recommended emission savings under the IPCC. The CO2eq emission savings for Scenario 2 is more than sufficient. A calculation of the economic profitability of nuclear energy use is made in relation to fossil power plants and renewable energy power plants. According to calculations, nuclear energy is profitable compared to other energy sources. Nuclear energy use is positive from all the mentioned aspects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18112978","authors":["Dinka Lale","Dubravko Pevec"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Term (time)","Environmental science","Energy (signal processing)","Natural resource economics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en18112978","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412594149","name":"Effective and fair policy to mobilize industrial carbon dioxide removal","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Carbon dioxide removal (CDR), which emerged in climate models as a largely abstract idea, has evolved into a set of specific methods and spawned calls for supportive policies.

As governments seek to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors, geological CO2 storage is becoming a defined part of national and regional net-zero strategies. The EU Net Zero Industry Act has established a target of at least 50 million tonnes of annual CO2 injection capacity by 2030 (European Commission / Net Zero Industry Act, 2025), while in the UK, the first offshore carbon storage permits have been awarded and Track-1 transport and storage networks are progressing toward delivery (DESNZ, 2025). This paper builds on the previous SPE paper, Vertical Well Re-Entry Solutions for Safe and Efficient Re-Abandonment of Legacy Wells (SPE-225865-MS), presented at the Asia Pacific CCUS Conference and Exhibition in 2025. Since then, offshore CCS has continued to advance rapidly, with greater focus on the practical technologies and execution strategies required for safe, scalable storage. This includes progress in legacy well re-entry and re-abandonment, with first steel now cut for the Recoverable Abandonment Frame (RAF), moving the technology from engineering development into fabrication. As offshore CCS moves toward delivery, attention is shifting from storage potential to safe, economic and scalable execution. Depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and saline aquifers offer significant storage capacity and are often located close to industrial clusters and existing offshore infrastructure. However, many prospective storage complexes are intersected by exploration, appraisal or production wells drilled decades before CO2 storage was considered. Where these wells penetrate storage formations, caprock intervals or overlying formations, they can create potential leakage pathways that must be identified, assessed and, where necessary, remediated before injection can proceed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/233332-ms","authors":["Benjamin Cannell"],"tags":["Submarine pipeline","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Caprock","Nuclear decommissioning","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2118/233332-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4407586198","name":"Utilizing red mud from industrial waste as catalysts for the hydrogenation of CO 2 into value added chemicals","source":"openalex","abstract":"Finding environmentally acceptable and long-lasting catalysts that can convert carbon dioxide into compounds with additional value is of great interest.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d4ra08784d","authors":["Mahbuba Aktary","Mohammed A.

Green economy strategies aim to ensure that natural assets can achieve their full economic potential in a sustainable manner. This potential includes the provision of vital life-sustaining services - clean air and water, as well as sustainable biodiversity - necessary to support food production and human health.

This study experimentally evaluates the catalytic activity of over 20 environmentally friendly additive anions—including carboxylates, inorganics, and ammonium salts—for promoting magnesite and calcite formation during the carbonation of brucite [Mg(OH)2] and portlandite [Ca(OH)2] in aqueous slurries. Carbonation is driven by microwave (MW)‐assisted heating at 100–200 °C under hydrothermal conditions, with CO2 partial pressures below 8 bar. Results reveal a significant enhancement in magnesite precipitation when additives are combined with MW energy, enabling crystallization at much lower temperatures. For calcite, MWs alone nearly double the precipitation yield, with further improvements in the presence of additives. Among promising catalyzers, chelating agents like citrate and tartrate increase induction times and reduce overall yield at higher concentrations.

Objective: This study was carried out to assess the potential-DDIs (pDDIs) among the drugs prescribed to hospitalized patients with CVD and associated factors. Method: It was a retrospective study conducted with the help of the medical records department. Medical records of all the patients admitted to the cardiology department of our tertiary care center from January 1st, 2019, to December 31st, 2019, were included for analysis using Lexicomp, an up-to-date drug interaction screening tool. The pDDIs were divided into classes A, B, C, D, and X, and those belonging to classes D or X were considered clinically significant. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the association between the factors associated with and the occurrence of clinically significant pDDIs, with a P-value < .05 considered statistically significant. Results: Almost all the records reflected (335/338) at least 1 pDDI. A total of 4966 pDDIs were detected, of which the majority belonged to category C (75.3%), and 5.1% of pDDIs were clinically significant. The patients who were prescribed more than 10 drugs per day (OR = 2.46; 95% CI: 1.27-4.82; P = .008), prescribed parenteral formulation (OR = 1.84; 95% CI: 1.57-2.21; P < .0001), or had a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (OR = 2.33; 95% CI:1.1-5.12; P = .03) were associated with clinically significant pDDIs. Other factors, that is, female sex, use of fixed-dose combinations, and the triad of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, were positively associated with clinically significant pDDIs. Conclusion: Even though every patient had at least 1 pDDI, the prevalence of clinically significant pDDIs was relatively less. Use of >10 drugs/day, parenteral formulation, patients with acute coronary syndrome were significantly associated with clinically significant pDDIs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00185787231182569","authors":["Ajaya Kumar Sahoo","Alok Singh","Dhyuti Gupta","Suryaprakash Dhaneria","Prachi Arunima"],"tags":["Medicine","Retrospective cohort study","Medical record","Logistic regression","Internal medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00185787231182569","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4283220370","name":"Policy priorities for mobilizing investment in Swedish green industrial transitions","source":"openalex","abstract":"The aim of this report is to better understand the key challenges for investments in technological and production changes that bring deep emissions cuts in heavy industry in Sweden.

Childbirth preparation aims to empower women by equipping them with skills and confidence to manage labor actively and knowledgeably. However, in many hospital settings, women's mobility remains restricted. This study explores expert perspectives on the core components of an intervention designed to promote women's autonomy and active participation during labor, to be implemented by nurse-midwives within Childbirth Preparation Programs in primary healthcare. METHODS: A qualitative study was conducted in February 2024 in Portugal, using a focus group composed of ten nurse-midwives recognized as experts in childbirth preparation. The session was recorded and analyzed through content analysis, guided by the Theory of Emancipated Decision-Making in Women's Healthcare. RESULTS: Nine women and one man participated, aged 34-64 years, representing primary healthcare, hospitals, and academia. Six key themes emerged from the analysis: the intentionality behind the intervention; understanding the meanings and expectations women hold about their birth experience; empowering women by providing knowledge and skills; raising awareness of social norms that may influence women's decisions and actions; encouraging women to reflect on their options; and fostering woman-centered care. CONCLUSIONS: The experts emphasized the importance of promoting mobility during labor to enhance perinatal outcomes and the childbirth experience. Empowering women through experiential learning, fostering reflection, supporting informed choices, and ensuring continuity of care through collaborative professional practices were identified as essential strategies for effective intervention.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18332/ejm/205673","authors":["Marlene Isabel Lopes","Margarida Vieira","Alexandrina Cardoso"],"tags":["Business","Knowledge management","Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.18332/ejm/205673","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4318755612","name":"Self-reported Competences of Expatriate Practicing Nurses in Kuwait: A Descriptive Study","source":"openalex","abstract":"Aim The aim of the study was to explore the perceived self-reported competence of nurses who worked in Kuwaiti hospitals and the predictors influencing the level of competence. Background Competence in nursing is found to affect patient safety and the quality of care provided to patients. The vast majority of nurses working in the health system are non-Kuwaitis. Thus, it is of the utmost importance to assess nurses’ competences as the first step toward ensuring the best quality of care. Methods A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational design was used. A non-random convenience sample of 220 practicing expatriate nurses working in public hospitals completed the NPC-35 scale and a demographic form. Data collection was done over a period of three weeks from January 26 th , 2020 to February 16 th , 2020. Results The findings of the study showed that nurses perceived their competence as good. The results also showed that years of experience, enrollment in a traditional program of study, exposure to training programs, working in accredited hospitals and nationality explained 56% of the variation in the level of Nursing Professional Competence (NPC). Conclusion The results indicate that nurse leaders and policy makers need to improve nursing orientation and training programs so that they are competence based. The results of the study also point to the importance of revisiting the nursing recruitment policy and managing expatriate nurses while making better investment in educating and producing Kuwaiti national nurses.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/15271544221148721","authors":["Rowaida Al‐Maaitah","Hajar A.

Five hundred mL of recycled filtrates is obtained from a previous carbonation in which 3 g of NaOH has been replenished and dissolved. CO2 is physically absorbed at each re‐carbonation, and the amount decreases with increasing numbers of re‐carbonation repetitions. However, the amount of CO2 chemically absorbed that was consumed in the production of precipitates, such as sodium ethyl carbonates (SEC) and NaHCO3, slightly increases. This is due to the slight water that accumulates with repeated re‐carbonation, which increases the generation of NaHCO3 and the reaction time. The amount of precipitates and SEC composition decrease from the initial carbonation to the 22nd re‐carbonation, and the amount of CO2 fixed in the precipitates is calculated as a maximum of 0.92 g of CO2/g of NaOH at the initial carbonation, which then decreases linearly to 0.56 g of CO2/g of NaOH at the 22nd re‐carbonation. However, 3.16 g of NaHCO3 precipitates is repeatedly obtained from the 23rd re‐carbonation, maintaining an ethanol concentration of 90.33 wt.%. Thus, 0.55 g of CO2/g of NaOH is fixed in this region. Therefore, CO2 can be fixed in the SEC and NaHCO3 precipitates via re‐carbonation using NaOH‐dissolved ethanol.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ep.13300","authors":["Sang‐Jun Han","Dae‐Yu Han","Jung‐Ho Wee"],"tags":["Carbonation","Chemistry","Carbon dioxide","Nuclear chemistry","Ethanol"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-06-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ep.13300","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4311263784","name":"Assessing the Role of Carbon Capture and Storage in Mitigation Pathways of Developing Economies","source":"openalex","abstract":"The Paris Agreement has set out ambitious climate goals aiming to keep global warming well-below 2 °C by 2100. This requires a large-scale transformation of the global energy system based on the uptake of several technological options to reduce drastically emissions, including expansion of renewable energy, energy efficiency improvements, and fuel switch towards low-carbon energy carriers. The current study explores the role of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as a mitigation option, which provides a dispatchable source for carbon-free production of electricity and can also be used to decarbonise industrial processes. In the last decade, limited technology progress and slow deployment of CCS technologies worldwide have increased the concerns about the feasibility and potential for massive scale-up of CCS required for deep decarbonisation. The current study uses the state-of-the-art PROMETHEUS global energy demand and supply system model to examine the role and impacts of CCS deployment in a global decarbonisation context. By developing contrasted decarbonisation scenarios, the analysis illustrates that CCS deployment might bring about various economic and climate benefits for developing economies, in the form of reduced emissions, lower mitigation costs, ensuring the cost efficient integration of renewables, limiting stranded fossil fuel assets, and alleviating the negative distributional impacts of cost-optimal policies for developing economies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7434156","authors":["Panagiotis Fragkos"],"tags":["Carbon fibers","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Natural resource economics","Developing country","Business"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-03-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7434156","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4413404078","name":"The UAE Net-Zero Strategy—Aspirations, Achievements and Lessons for the MENA Region","source":"openalex","abstract":"The Middle East and North Africa region has not played a major role in climate action so far, and several countries depend economically on fossil fuel exports.

Nonetheless, IABP-related complications are still frequent and are associated with a poor prognosis. AIM: The aim of this systematic review was to identify complications associated with IABP treatment in critically ill patients with a compromised cardiac function. STUDY DESIGN: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines based on searches in CINAHL (EBSCO), Medline and Embase (Ovid) from January 2012 to April 2023. Quantitative studies were included if they reported as their primary outcome(s) complications of IABP in adult patients because of cardiovascular conditions and were published in English, Norwegian, Swedish or Danish. Study selection, methodological quality assessment and data extraction were performed independently by two authors. The results were synthesized narratively. RESULTS: A total of nine studies were included in the review, most of which were retrospective (eight of nine). Bleeding was the most frequently occurring complication, followed by limb ischaemia, stroke, infection, IABP malfunction, haematoma and other vascular complications. In addition, a correlation between IABP duration and vascular complications was found in three out of nine studies. Lastly, the incidence rate of stroke was higher in patients with axillary IABP than in those with femoral IABP. CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review revealed that bleeding and limb ischaemia were the two most frequent complications associated with IABP therapy. We identified a correlation between (a) IABP support time and the development of vascular complications and (b) stroke and implantation of IABP catheter in the axillary artery. Further studies are needed to explore these findings directly. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Increasing critical care nurses' knowledge regarding complications related to IABP support could lead to early identification, potentially lowering the incidence rate of complications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/nicc.13163","authors":["Ngoe Motia","V.

In particular, how SDG 7, Clean and Efficient Energy, SDG 3, Good Health and Well Being, SDG 9, Industry Innovation and Infrastructure, and SDG 12, Responsible Production and Consumption, would engage in a new biorefinery design, beneficial to climate change, i.e., fostering SDG 13, Climate Action. This study uses life cycle assessment methodology (LCA) to delve in detail into the Global Warming Impact category, project scenario GHG savings, using a conventional and a dynamic emission flux approach until 2060 (30-year lifetime). Water, heat and electricity circularity are in place by using a water recirculation process and a combined heat and power unit (CHP). A new historical approach to derive low and higher-end commodity prices (chemicals, electricity, heat, jet/maritime fuel, DHA, N-fertilizer) is used for the calculation of the economic indicators: Return of investment (ROI) and inflation-adjusted return (IAR), based upon the consumer price index (CPI). Main conclusions are: supercritical fluid extraction is the hotspot of energy consumption; C. cohnii bio-oil without DHA has higher sulfur concentration than crude oil based jet fuel requiring desulfurization, however the sulfur levels are compatible with maritime fuels; starting its operation in 2030, by 2100 an overall GHG savings of 73% (conventional LCA approach) or 85% (dynamic LCA approach) is projected; economic feasibility for oil productivity and content of 0.14 g/L/h and 27% (w/w) oil content, respectively (of which 31% is DHA), occurs for DHA-cost 100 times higher than reference fish oil based DHA; however future genetic engineering achieving 0.4 g/L/h and 70% (w/w) oil content (of which 31% is DHA), reduces the threshold to 20 times higher cost than reference fish oil based DHA; N-fertilizer, district heating and jet fuel may have similar values then their fossil counterparts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15103784","authors":["Carla Silva","Patrícia Moniz","Ana Cristina Oliveira","Samuela Vercelli","Alberto Reis","Teresa Lopes da Silva"],"tags":["Biorefinery","Greenhouse gas","Life-cycle assessment","Environmental science","Climate change mitigation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-05-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15103784","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412117875","name":"High-pressure phase equilibrium in the carbon dioxide + branched alkane binary systems: 1.

Liquid-phase densities were obtained by recirculating the liquid through a high-pressure vibrating-tube densimeter installed within the liquid loop. The system was investigated over a temperature range of 313.15–383.15 K and pressures spanning from 11.1–103.2 bar. Thermodynamic modelling of the mixture was performed using the three equations of state in combination with classical van der Waals two-parameter conventional mixing rules, Adachi–Sugie mixing rules, and various excess Gibbs energy-based mixing rules. While the applied models predicted either type I or type II phase behaviour, no experimental evidence of liquid–liquid phase separation was observed within the studied temperature and pressure range. The newly studied system was analysed in comparison with the corresponding linear alkane, n-hexane, as well as with the other branched isomer, 2,3-dimethylbutane.

Here, we provide an overview of minimally invasive CABG targeted to cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS: A narrative review of the literature on minimally invasive CABG was performed. RESULTS: Minimally invasive CABG was first described over 20 years ago, yet uptake has been slow and available data are limited. The most common iteration of minimally invasive CABG is a single-vessel CABG (left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending artery) performed without the cardiopulmonary bypass machine via mini-thoracotomy. However, in patients with multivessel CAD, other options include minimally invasive multivessel CABG and hybrid revascularization (minimally invasive CABG with percutaneous coronary intervention). Patient selection and preoperative planning are paramount. Observational studies and small randomized controlled trials demonstrate that minimally invasive CABG is associated with reduced rates of blood transfusion, surgical site infections, lengths of intensive care unit and hospital stays, and time to return to full activity with promising late outcomes. Finally, we describe future areas for growth, including ongoing clinical trials, gaps in evidence and pragmatic considerations for surgeons interested in starting a minimally invasive CABG programme. CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive CABG can expand the armamentarium of revascularization techniques available for the ageing and increasingly complex population of patients with CAD.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ejcts/ezaf160","authors":["Allison J Welton","Andrés M.

The epoxy group of KH560 had an amine‐epoxidation reaction with the NH2 in UiO‐66‐NH2, which prevented UiO‐66‐NH2 from agglutinating in the MMMs. In addition, the NH bond and OH bond of KH560‐UiO‐66‐NH2 could theoretically form hydrogen bonds with CO and NH bonds in the main chain of polymerization, respectively, so as to improve the interfacial compatibility between fillers and polymers.

While significant efforts have been made to mitigate air pollutants and carbon emissions within the ISIs, there remains a gap in comprehending the control of carbon emissions, air pollutant emissions, and their contributions to air pollutant concentrations at the enterprise level. In this study, we devised the Air Pollutant and Carbon Emission and Air Quality (ACEA) model to identify enterprises with noteworthy air pollution and carbon emissions, as well as substantial contributions to air pollutant concentrations. We constructed a detailed inventory of air pollutants and CO2 emissions from the iron and steel industry in Tangshan for the year 2019. The findings reveal that in 2019, Tangshan emitted 5.75 × 104 t of SO2, 13.47 × 104 t of NOx, 3.55 × 104 t of PM10, 1.80 × 104 t of PM2.5, 5.79 × 106 t of CO and 219.62 Mt of CO2. The ACEA model effectively pinpointed key links between ISI enterprises emitting air pollutants and carbon dioxide, notably in pre-iron-making processes (coking, sintering, pelletizing) and the Blast furnace. By utilizing the developed air pollutant emission inventory, the CALPUFF model assessed the impact of ISI enterprises on air quality in the Tangshan region. Subsequently, we graded the performance of air pollutant and CO2 emissions following established criteria. The ACEA model successfully identified eight enterprises with significant air pollution and carbon emissions, exerting notable influence on air pollutant concentrations. Furthermore, the ACEA outcomes offer the potential for enhancing regional air quality in Tangshan and provide a scientific instrument for mitigating air pollutants and carbon emissions. The effective application of the ACEA model in Tangshan’s steel industry holds promise for supporting carbon reduction initiatives and elevating environmental standards in other industrial cities across China.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos14121747","authors":["Shaobo Chen","Jianhui Li","Qian You","Zhaotong Wang","Wanyue Shan","Xin Bo","Rongjie Zhu"],"tags":["Pollutant","Air quality index","Air pollution","Environmental science","Air pollutant concentrations"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-11-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos14121747","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410644072","name":"Livro Resumos 42º ENMGF 2025 - Troia","source":"openalex","abstract":"faça menção da fonte.","url":"https://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v41i.14","authors":["APMGF"],"tags":["Computer science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v41i.14","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409452356","name":"Multimode ultrastrong coupling in three-dimensional photonic-crystal cavities","source":"openalex","abstract":"Recent theoretical studies have highlighted how spatially varying cavity electromagnetic fields enable novel cavity quantum electrodynamics phenomena, such as the Dicke superradiant phase transition.

Here, we demonstrate multimode ultrastrong coupling between cavity modes of a three-dimensional photonic-crystal cavity at terahertz frequencies and the cyclotron resonance of a Landau-quantized two-dimensional electron gas in gallium arsenide. The multimode coupling depends on the spatial profiles of the cavity modes, resulting in distinct coupling scenarios based on probe polarization. Our results align with an extended multimode Hopfield model that accounts for spatial field variations.

During the last 2 years, new meta-analysis, guidelines, and two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were published. The IAMI trial added information regarding the safety and efficacy of IV right after an acute myocardial infarction hospitalization. A significant reduction in the primary endpoint-including mortality-was observed. More recently, the influenza vaccine to prevent vascular events trial (IVVE) trial did not meet the primary CV endpoint in patients with heart failure (HF). However, a significant reduction was observed during the seasonal peaks of Influenza circulation. COVID-19 pandemic provoked recruitment difficulties in these trials, as well as an altered influenza seasonality and incidence. Further analysis of IVVE trial is needed to clarify the precise role of IV in patients with HF. A recent meta-analysis of RCTs and observational studies indicated that IV was safe and effective to reduce CV events, and it was included in the most updated guideline. Despite these benefits, and the recommendations for its prescription by scientific societies and health regulatory agencies, the vaccination rate remains below than expected globally. The correct understanding of implementation barriers, which involve doctors, patients, and their context, is essential when continuous improvement strategies are planned, in order to improve the IV rate in at-risk subjects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartjsupp/suac111","authors":["María Inés Sosa-Liprandi","Ezequiel Zaidel","Álvaro Sosa-Liprandi"],"tags":["Medicine","Vaccination","Context (archaeology)","Observational study","Clinical endpoint"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-02-14","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartjsupp/suac111","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4307993396","name":"Recommendations for Carbon Neutrality and ESG Management in Mining Industry","source":"openalex","abstract":"According to a survey of small-and medium-sized mining companies, 90% of the surveyed companies recognized the necessity of carbon neutrality.

The test-retest reliability between the first assessment and the regular assessment was 0.447. CONCLUSIONS: The Waterlow scale shows insufficient predictive validity and reliability in discriminating critical adults at risk of PI development. To further modify the items of the Waterlow scale, exploring specific risk factors for PI in the ICU and clarifying their impact degree was necessary. Risk predictive models or better tools are inevitable in the future. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Patients or family members supported nurses with PI risk assessment, skin examination and other activities during the inquiry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jocn.16987","authors":["Lin Han","Jiali Guo","Hongyan Zhang","Lin Lv","Jianhui Dong","Tong Zhang","Fanghong Yan","Yuxia Ma"],"tags":["Receiver operating characteristic","Medicine","Predictive validity","Reliability (semiconductor)","Youden's J statistic"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jocn.16987","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411384108","name":"Risk factors analysis and nomogram development for myelosuppression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients undergoing first-line chemotherapy: a dual-centre retrospective cohort study","source":"openalex","abstract":"Objective: The primary objective of this research was to examine the characteristics of myelosuppression following first-line chemotherapy in patients suffering from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Furthermore, the study aimed to identify and analyze the risk factors impacting myelosuppression after chemotherapy and to construct a predictive model for evaluating the risk of myelosuppression. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted across two medical centers. The study included 243 patients with DLBCL treated at the Anning First People's Hospital Affiliated with Kunming University of Science and Technology from January 2022 to December 2023 as the development cohort, and 107 patients treated at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2024 to May 2024 as the validation cohort. The study investigated the incidence of myelosuppression in all patients, identified independent factors influencing this condition through logistic regression analysis, and constructed and validated a nomogram. Finally, the model's performance was evaluated using both internal and external validation cohorts. Results: The research rigorously incorporated a cohort of 243 DLBCL patients, with myelosuppression observed in 93 individuals (38.27%). Multifactorial analysis revealed that the chemotherapy cycle, age, Ann Arbor stage, surgical history, and neutrophil levels were independently correlated with myelosuppression following initial chemotherapy in DLBCL patients. A nomogram was developed based on the multifactorial analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed myelosuppression in the nomogram of both the development set (area under the curve (AUC = 0.834, 95% CI [0.785-0.884]) and the validation set (AUC = 0.861, 95% CI [0.791-0.931])), indicating clear differentiation. Further calibration curve analysis and decision curve analysis (DCA) revealed strong calibration and clinical utility of the column-line graph model. Conclusion: Patients with DLBCL are at an increased risk and frequency of myelosuppression following first-line chemotherapy. The development of a highly accurate prediction model for myelosuppression in this patient population facilitates individualized treatment strategies. Future studies should focus on expanding the sample size and developing and validating the model in additional types of cancer.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.19539","authors":["Xuexing Wang","Rong Zhang","Haoling Xie","XU Jin-song","Jie Chu","Chunmei Wei","Quanfang Chen"],"tags":["Medicine","Nomogram","Oncology","Retrospective cohort study","Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.19539","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W7124161630","name":"CO2-responsive terpolymer hydrogels with adjustable dynamic networks for fractured plugging in the reservoir","source":"openalex","abstract":"To address the limitations of conventional CO₂-responsive plugging materials (fixed network structure, slow response, and poor long-term stability) in fractured reservoirs, a novel terpolymer hydrogel poly(acrylamide-co-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic-co-acid-methylenebis(acrylamide)) hydrogel, denoted as P(AM-AMPS-MDA) was designed via solution copolymerization.

Scutellaria baicalensis extract has shown great potential in anti-MG infection, but the role and mechanism of its extracellular vesicles (EVs) remain unexplored. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential mechanism of Scutellaria baicalensis derived extracellular vesicles (SEVs) against MG, especially by regulating TRPC1-STIM1/ORAI1 signaling pathway, which is a key component of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). METHODS: SEVs were obtained from Scutellaria baicalensis and subsequently subjected to characterization. Through in vitro and in vivo MG infection models, experimental techniques including non-targeted metabolomics, qRT-PCR, Western Blot and Fluo-4 AM calcium imaging were employed. Additionally, synergistic and antagonistic effects were demonstrated via siRNA-mediated STIM1 knockdown and plasmid overexpression experiments to validate its pivotal role. RESULTS: Non-targeted metabolomics analysis showed that SEVs treatment regulated metabolic pathways related to calcium signaling pathway compared with MG-infected group, which aided our study to determine that SEVs may affect inflammatory injury by affecting calcium signaling. The results of molecular experiments showed that SEVs markedly downregulated SOCE molecules (TRPC1, STIM1 and ORAI1) at mRNA and protein levels, effectively suppressing MG-induced abnormal intracellular calcium influx and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. CONCLUSIONS: SEVs alleviate MG-induced inflammation through the TRPC1-STIM1/ORAI1 pathway, restoring calcium homeostasis and inhibiting NF-κB signaling and cytokine release. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This study reveals a novel mechanism by which plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) exert anti-inflammatory effects, highlighting their potential as a natural nanotherapeutic strategy for controlling MG infection in poultry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psj.2026.106773","authors":["Fangbing Xu","Lige Bao","Yecheng Yao","Yifan Li","Yu ; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7313-6740 Liu","Mingyu Yu","Shun Wang","W.

The Yangtze River Economic Belt, as an important economic region in China, investigating the spatial disequilibrium and influencing factors of the Yangtze River Economic Belt plays a crucial role in promoting the transition to a low-carbon economy in the region. This paper takes 108 cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt as the research object, and uses kernel density estimation, Moran’s index, spatial Markov chain and Geographically and Temporally Weighted Regression to discuss the spatial disequilibrium of carbon emission and its influencing factors. Research findings: First, in terms of time trend, carbon emissions in cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt show a significant upward trend. In terms of space, spatial disequilibrium of carbon emissions is increasing, and carbon emissions at or above medium level are concentrated in Chongqing, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang. Second, urban carbon emissions have significant spatiotemporal evolution characteristics. That is, the local Moran’s I reveals low-low agglomeration distribution in Sichuan, Yunnan, Hubei and Hunan. Space Markov chain shows that urban carbon emissions will show the agglomeration effect of low and high carbon emissions. Third, education development, economic development, human capital, industrial structure, government intervention and scientific and technological development all promote carbon emissions. The promoting effect of human capital on carbon emissions is weakening year by year, and the industrial structure shows an inhibitory effect in the early stage. This research provides a theoretical basis for the large emission reduction and carbon reduction policy in the Yangtze River economy, and provides quantitative support for accelerating the pace of “dual-carbon”.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-025-05739-2","authors":["Zhuo He"],"tags":["Disequilibrium","Yangtze river","Environmental science","Physical geography","Climatology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-025-05739-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412890294","name":"Microwave Plasma-Assisted CO2 Dissociation with Methane and Ethylene: Improved Conversion and Selectivity Controlled by Afterglow Chemistry","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide An experimental investigation into the addition of small hydrocarbons to gas discharges for CO 2 conversion using warm plasma is combined with chemical kinetic modeling. CH 4 (0–30%) and C 2 H 4 (0–15%) are added to CO 2 in microwave plasmas operated at 150 to 900 mbar, 1 kW, and 9.4 SLM, in an attempt to remove oxygen from the effluent. Introduction of only 1% CH 4 or C 2 H 4 effectively eliminates all O 2 from the product gas at the cost of a dramatic decrease in the conversion of CO 2 . Increasing the fraction of hydrocarbons, the CO 2 conversion, the CO yield, and the energy efficiency increase, and for more than 5% CH 4 or C 2 H 4, they surpass that of pure CO 2 . The gas mixture notably does not contain O 2, opening a potential new avenue for CO 2 dissociation using warm plasmas, where the only byproducts are water and H 2 . Measurements show that the effluent composition and especially the selectivity are more or less independent of the plasma size and the gas temperature. Using a quasi-1D chemical kinetic model for the afterglow, it is shown that H and OH radicals have a determining effect on the selectivity and the effluent composition: The radicals catalyze the recombination of CO and O 2 in the case of small CH 4 additions, and for larger CH 4 additions, they are found to drive the water gas shift reaction. The model accurately reproduces the experimental selectivities and shows that processes in the afterglow primarily control the composition of the effluent.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.5c05022","authors":["Lex Kuijpers","C.F.A.M. van Deursen","QX Shen","W.A.

Despite the availability of effective prophylaxis, its application in clinical practice remains inconsistent, often due to uncertainty in risk stratification. This review evaluates the validity and implementation of VTE risk assessment models (RAMs) in medical inpatients. Seven widely used RAMs, Caprini, Padua, IMPROVE, IMPROVEDD, Wells, Geneva, and Kucher e-alert, are critically examined alongside emerging digital and biomarker-enhanced tools. The Padua and IMPROVE scores show consistent reliability across various medical populations, while the Caprini RAM remains the most accurate in surgical contexts. The Wells deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and revised Geneva scores are preferred for diagnosing suspected thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, respectively. Electronic alerts, such as the Kucher and Woller models, have shown promise in increasing prophylaxis adherence and reducing symptomatic VTE events. Nonetheless, challenges like limited external validation, gaps in clinician training, and inconsistent local protocols hinder their real-world application. Future research should recalibrate RAMs for underrepresented groups, incorporate biomarkers and mobility data, and create user-friendly AI tools that can optimize the balance between thrombosis and bleeding risks. The adoption of validated, user-friendly RAMs is essential for improving thromboprophylaxis, enhancing patient safety, and reducing the burden of hospital-associated VTE.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fcvm.2025.1738139","authors":["Lama Alfehaid","Nada Alsuhebany","Yahya M K Tawfik","Shuroug A.

Owing to its inherent piezoactivity and photoconductivity, zinc oxide (ZnO) can be of help for all these applications. While previously used for wood-based piezoelectric nanogenerators, its use for enabling wood with photoconductive properties has not yet been demonstrated. Here, we introduce an innovative method to produce ZnO-wood hybrids based on atomic layer deposition (ALD), a technique so far underrepresented in the field of wood functionalization. By a studied combination of ALD, customized sample geometry, structure-retaining delignification, and careful selection of the drying method, we obtained a homogeneous functionalization of a bulk wood scaffold with layers of nanocrystalline ZnO. This approach allowed us to achieve control over the homogeneity, distribution, and coating thickness of the oxide layer. The micro- and nanostructure of the resulting hybrids were investigated by electron microscopy as well as by X-ray diffraction and scattering. The ZnO-wood hybrids show an anisotropic piezoelectric response due to the natural structure of the wood. Moreover, we demonstrate the use of ZnO-functionalized wood for the fabrication of bulk (photo)conductive wood. Upon irradiation with UV light, a significant decrease in resistivity is observed, which increases again upon removal of UV light. Finally, we used the hybrids to fabricate a ZnO-wood replica by thermal removal of the cellulose scaffold. This treatment leaves behind a detailed inorganic wood replica down to the smallest open accessible features such as micrometer-sized wood pits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.5c03854","authors":["Maximilian Ritter","Krzysztof Maćkosz","Jonas Garemark","Ronny Kürsteiner","Christopher H.

By bridging material innovation with therapeutic efficacy, this review establishes a framework for advancing nanomedicine to improve treatment outcomes while addressing translational barriers.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40820-025-01829-7","authors":["Xiuxiu Wang","Xinran Song","Wei Feng","Meiqi Chang","Jishun Yang","Qing Chen"],"tags":["Nanomedicine","Medicine","Inflammation","Context (archaeology)","Immune system"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40820-025-01829-7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.487Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410416247","name":"Key Determinants of Algal Biomass Growth for Bioenergy: A Comprehensive Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Microalgae is an essential source of renewable bioenergy like biofuels and biohydrogen production due to their high lipid content and rapid growth rate. These eukaryotic organisms exist in an array of habitats, encompassing photobioreactors, closed ponds, and open ponds.

However, techno-economic improvements can be made in optimizing and controlling the growth phase of biomass processing. Analysing every factor influencing algae growth and talking about the favourable conditions, strategies and methodology to optimization of factors to achieve better results is the main goal of this review paper. This review aims to serve as a valuable resource for future researchers or anyone who interested to produce maximum algae without any obstruction. A novel aspect of this research is the employment of how to optimize algal growth by adjusting various parameters in a photo bioreactor to improve large-scale cultivation productivity of algae. Thus, the present study aims to investigate factors affecting algae growth and their optimizing methodology which is based on the literature’s findings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.12944/cwe.20.1.5","authors":["Bobby Singare","R.

These patients are often treated with guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) known to be effective in patients with non-sepsis-related heart failure. This study sought to assess the use of GDMT on sepsis survivors with LVSD. Methods: Sepsis survivors with suspected myocardial injury and/or heart failure diagnosed with LVSD in a UK cardiac centre were retrospectively studied. Clinical and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) data were recorded and analysed. Results: Of the 25 sepsis survivors (age 56 ± 11 years; 52% males), 11 (44%) had LVSD (LVEF < 50%). LV end-diastolic internal diameter (LVIDd) was similar between patients with vs. without LVSD (5.2 ± 0.8 cm vs. 4.7 ± 0.8 cm; p = 0.214). Patients with LVSD had significantly greater LV end-systolic internal diameter (LVIDs) than those without LVSD (4.0 ± 1.2 cm vs. 2.8 ± 0.6 cm; p = 0.027). Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) was similar between the two groups (2.1 ± 0.5 cm vs. 2.2 ± 0.6 cm; p = 0.910). Of the 11 patients with LVSD, nine patients underwent repeat TTE scans after 6 months [IQR 3–9], most of whom were taking GDMT. The majority (8/9) of these patients demonstrated LV systolic functional recovery (>5% LVEF increase; mean LVEF improvement 16 ± 11%) after GDMT. Reductions were seen in LVIDd (5.3 ± 0.8 cm to 5.0 ± 0.7 cm) and LVIDs (4.1 ± 1.2 cm to 3.7 ± 0.8 cm) after GDMT, though these changes did not reach statistical significance (both p > 0.05). Conclusions: GDMT appears beneficial in sepsis survivors with LV dysfunction. This finding should be validated on a larger and multi-centre basis to further affirm the value of medical therapy in post-sepsis heart failure.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm14093253","authors":["Thomas Oswald","Samuel Malomo","Thomas Alway","Stanislav Hadjivassilev","Steven Coombs","Susan Ellery","Joon Lee","Claire Phillips","Barbara J.

This perspective adsorption method is the key focus of the review by exploring the latest research works progressing globally regarding adsorbent materials with tunable adsorption capacity and selectivity for metal ions and promising optimal appreciation of both ecology and economy. The different adsorption parameters involved in the adsorption and its influence on the entire process are validated through the literature survey. The different ways in which the adsorption mechanisms are predicted concerning pH and various spectroscopic studies are also discussed. This review paper covers a broad spectrum of adsorption data of operational parameters that can influence the adsorption process's rate, prediction of adsorption mechanism employing the spectral analysis and the modern adsorbents with more significant activity for the metal ions. The comparison tables are prepared systematically by introducing current adsorbents, adsorption capacity, kinetic, isotherm and thermodynamic aspects to reveal the complete adsorption profile of the introduced adsorbents. Adsorbent materials are classified based on the trending interest of prevailing researchers.

Based on DFT calculations, the formation of two equivalent P−P covalent bonds (<2.4 Å) is energetically unfavorable, despite the absence of steric barriers. The total energy of the model dication as a function of the P⋅⋅⋅P separation has a minimum at the P−P distance of 2.85 Å. This distance corresponds to the highest aromaticity index in the interdeck space (NICS(1.0)=−20.72).

However, they face unique challenges in cardiac surgery. The objective of this work is to summarize the challenges of RCTs in cardiac surgery, describe efforts employed in recent years to mitigate these impediments and outline the future opportunities for increased RCT adoption in the specialty. METHODS: This review was conducted as an expert analysis on the existing state of RCTs in cardiac surgery based on expert discussion at a dedicated session during the 2024 Annual Meeting of the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS). Different trial-support infrastructures, such as the Randomized Comparison of the Clinical Outcomes of Single versus Multiple Arterial Grafts (ROMA) Network, the Cardiothoracic Surgical Trials Network (CTSN), the Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum (GCRFF) and the UK Model, and their respective mechanisms for overcoming RCT barriers were described in detailed. Models were selected due to specific author involvement and knowledge. Future directions were postulated based on current trends. RESULTS: Despite heterogeneous structures, the described models largely aimed to increased cardiac RCTs through improved trial participation, either via increased trainees, expanded stakeholders or focused patient recruitment, facilitating funding and fostering wider collaboration. CONCLUSIONS: RCTs are a key component for clinical advancement yet have been underutilized in cardiac surgery. Recent endeavours have reduced the multifactorial barriers associated with cardiac surgery RCTs and intentional future efforts are necessary for continued cardiac advancement.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ejcts/ezaf164","authors":["Mario Gaudino","Matthias Siepe","Gavin J.

Between 2000 and 2021, the country’s UHC Service Coverage Index doubled from 22 to 441. Yet Cameroon lags behind the average for low- and middle-income countries (58) and falls far short of the global average (68). Aggregate measures like the UHC Service Coverage Index tend to mask inequities in who benefits from health improvements and who bears the financial burden for the use of services. To make meaningful progress toward UHC, countries must unpack disparities in access, service coverage, quality of care, and financial protection and design policies that provide protection to the most vulnerable. In a fiscally constrained environment like Cameroon, equity must remain a key policy imperative. With higher global borrowing costs, additional constraints on external funding, a downturn in global demand, and a steep increase in economic uncertainty, fiscal space for the health sector remains a challenge. Against this backdrop, cost-effectiveness is likely to guide the prioritization of health investments and services, which can often be at odds with more costly approaches that prioritize the most vulnerable. Yet, addressing inequities in health outcomes, service quality, access, and financial protection is critical to accelerating progress towards UHC, which represents a foundational investment in human capital. Inequalities in access to and quality of health services are deeply rooted and persist across socioeconomic, geographic, and demographic lines, including in Cameroon, reflecting a system where the care one receives often depends on where one live and what one can afford to pay. As part of the broader Cameroon Health System Status Report (2025), the World Bank conducted a Country Equity Diagnostic (CED) - a systematic analysis of health-related inequalities in Cameroon. The findings in this summary report and in the Cameroon Health System Status Report are intended to guide policymakers, donors, and stakeholders toward reforms that leave no individual behind.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/44373","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-02T03:47:03Z","doi":"10.1596/44373","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784486214","name":"Airfield and Highway Pavements 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"Selected papers from the International Airfield and Highway Pavements Conference 2025, held in Glendale, Arizona, June 8–11, 2025.

This paper demonstrates that if the rational-expectations assumption is dropped, fiscal authority can exploit these savings by allocating them to future transfers. By announcing these transfers to households today, fiscal authorities can enhance the output effects of forward guidance. Employing a version of the New Keynesian setup with bounded rationality in the form of level-k thinking, I derive an analytical expression that captures the output effects of this additional fiscal announcement. A similar formula is then derived in a tractable heterogeneous agent New Keynesian model, incorporating bounded rationality, uninsured idiosyncratic risk, and targeted transfers. Finally, these analytical insights are used to investigate the effects of a forward-guidance-induced fiscal announcement in a fully-blown heterogeneous agent New Keynesian model with level-k thinking, calibrated to match U.S. data. The findings suggest that fiscal communication can amplify the output effects of standard one-year-ahaed forward guidance by 42%. Moreover, those gains can reach 85% when the debt-to-GDP ratio doubles. This indicates that forward guidance, when complemented by fiscal announcements regarding future transfers, can be an effective policy tool, particularly when both monetary and fiscal policies are constrained, such as during liquidity trap episodes accompanied by high levels of public debt.","url":"https://doi.org/10.33119/kaewps2025109","authors":["Paweł Kopiec"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-17T14:07:25Z","doi":"10.33119/kaewps2025109","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/elmar66948.2025.11193752","name":"ELMAR 2025 Committees","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/elmar66948.2025.11193752","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-15T17:34:37Z","doi":"10.1109/elmar66948.2025.11193752","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1145/3698897","name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2025 Production Sessions","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3698897","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-30T14:21:45Z","doi":"10.1145/3698897","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.63508/2025digtedu141","name":"РЕВОЛЮЦИЯ AI: ПРЕОБРАЗОВАНИЕ ПРОИЗВОДСТВЕННЫХ ПРОЦЕССОВ","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.63508/2025digtedu141","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-14T09:09:18Z","doi":"10.63508/2025digtedu141","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784486221","name":"Airfield and Highway Pavements 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"Selected papers from the International Airfield and Highway Pavements Conference 2025, held in Glendale, Arizona, June 8–11, 2025.

The baht continued to be appreciated amid a strong trade surplus and portfolio inflows.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/43795","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-08T02:08:55Z","doi":"10.1596/43795","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.56820/collection_68dcf40c09fb73.94346772","name":"Materials of the 17th International Conference AMPL-2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.56820/collection_68dcf40c09fb73.94346772","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-01T10:00:13Z","doi":"10.56820/collection_68dcf40c09fb73.94346772","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.53841/bpstest.2025.bos","name":"Behavioural Orientation Survey","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.53841/bpstest.2025.bos","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-21T19:35:19Z","doi":"10.53841/bpstest.2025.bos","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.63333/iweg2025","name":"IWEG 2025: Advances in Environmental and Geoscience Research","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.63333/iweg2025","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-08T07:23:59Z","doi":"10.63333/iweg2025","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.63508/2025digtedu58","name":"О дробном дифференцирование и интегрирование","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.63508/2025digtedu58","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-02T17:46:57Z","doi":"10.63508/2025digtedu58","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21495/em2025","name":"Engineering Mechanics 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21495/em2025","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-04T07:18:30Z","doi":"10.21495/em2025","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1596/44016","name":"Thailand Monthly Economic Monitor, November 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"The economy slowed and tourism remained weak in the third quarter, despite a strong growth in exports.

On the fiscal side, the deficit widened as accelerated spending outpaced improved revenue collection. Meanwhile, the appreciation of the Thai baht on the back of improved external balances and returning capital inflows, signaled rising investor confidence.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/43764","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-26T02:07:51Z","doi":"10.1596/43764","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1596/45203","name":"Philippines Monthly Economic Developments, August 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/45203","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-15T02:11:29Z","doi":"10.1596/45203","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5121/csit.2024.1501","name":"Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Trends 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"Ethereum is currently the second largest blockchain by market capitalization and a popular platform for cryptocurrencies.As it has grown, the high value present and the anonymity afforded by the technology have led Ethereum to become a hotbed for various cybercrimes.This paper seeks to understand how these fraudulent schemes may be characterized and develop methods for detecting them.One key feature introduced by Ethereum is the ability to use programmable smart contracts to execute code on the blockchain.A common use of smart contracts is implementing fungible tokens with the ERC-20 interface.Such tokens can be used to impersonate legitimate tokens and defraud users.By parsing the event logs emitted by these ERC-20 contracts over 20 different periods of 100K blocks, we construct token transfer graphs for each of the available ERC-20 tokens on the blockchain.By analyzing these graphs, we find a set of characteristics by which suspicious contracts are distinguished from legitimate ones.These observations result in a simple model that can identify scam contracts with an average of 88.7% accuracy.This suggests that the mechanism by which fraudulent schemes function strongly correlates with their transfer graphs and that these graphs may be used to improve scam-detection mechanisms, contributing to making Ethereum safer.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5121/csit.2024.1501","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-26T14:25:16Z","doi":"10.5121/csit.2024.1501","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/c2023-0-51054-7","name":"Up and Running with Autocad® 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/c2023-0-51054-7","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-28T06:24:47Z","doi":"10.1016/c2023-0-51054-7","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.51202/9783181024607","name":"International Conference on Gears 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"Content (Auszug) Foreword 1 AI and digitalization – Impact on the future of gears Powered by AI – Leading the future of drive technology 3 J.

However, monetary policy measures and corrections in particular factors that exert upward price pressures have helped direct inflation toward the objective. Economic activity continues to recover and is expected to continue growing. The monetary policy interest rate is compatible with the convergence of inflation to its 3% target and the gradual recovery of economic growth toward more sustainable levels. Inflation has fallen significantly, from 9.3% in 2023 to 5.2% in 2024. During this year and into the next, inflation would continue to decline towards the inflation target. In the last quarter of 2024, inflation continued its downward path, ending the year at 5.2% with the help of smaller increases in the prices of some regulated goods and services (particularly utilities and fuel prices) and food away from home. Despite inflation’s significant decline throughout 2024, including in the last quarter and the positive performance of goods and food, headline inflation ended the year above the target. Monetary policy actions and the adjustment in economic activity contributed to inflation’s decline; however, indexation to a high inflation rate in 2023 and labor cost pressures constrained a more marked drop. Over the next two years, both headline and core inflation are expected to gradually approach the 3% target. The indexation of certain goods and services prices to lower inflation and the cumulative effects of monetary policy decisions would assist in steering inflation closer to the target. Nevertheless, inflationary pressures from the recent minimum wage increase and those resulting from the exchange rate’s behavior in a environment of high global uncertainty, could make the reduction of inflation slower than projected. Economic activity continues on a path of gradual recovery, helping inflation remain close to the 3% target and encouraging a stable labor market environment. Colombia’s economy continued to strengthen in the second half of 2024, backed by strong household consumption and signs of investment recovery. Increased spending on machinery and equipment, civil works construction, and the recovery of inventories would driving the improvement seen in investment. Private consumption (household consumption) has grown, supported by lower interest rates, improved access to credit, and increased disposable income. Economic activity is projected to grow 1.8% in 2024 and would continue to accelerate to 2.6% in 2025 and 3.4% in 2026, attributed to a monetary policy that would gradually ease as inflation falls. Consequently, the economy is foreseen to reach a level close to its productive capacity by 2026. The unemployment rate has decreased and is at low levels compared to its historical performance, concurrent with growing employment levels. Additionally, improvements in salaried employment have led to additional reductions in the informality ratios. Monetary policy interest rate reductions have been reflected in significant decreases in financial market interest rates, contributing to the the gradual recovery of credit. Since the end of 2023, the Board of Directors of Banco de la República has reduced the monetary policy interest rate by 375 basis points to its current level of 9.5%. The latter is compatible with inflation converging to its 3% target over the next two years and the gradual recovery of economic activity to sustainable levels. At its December meeting, the Board of Directors of Banco de la República decided by majority vote to lower the monetary policy interest rate by 25 basis points and concurred at its January meeting to maintain the benchmark rate at 9.5%. All monetary policy decisions have contributed to reducing annual inflation amid a backdrop of gradual improvements in economic activity and a stable labor market.

As we approached the end of ESGE s Diamond Jubilee year, where we celebrated the 60 th birthday of our society, we were honored to receive a total of 1881 abstract submissions from 70 countries across the world. This represents a new ESGE record, however, we were not only thrilled by the number of abstracts, but also by the high quality of the work submitted. We also follow with interest which countries submit abstracts to our annual meeting. We are grateful for the strong support from Spain, who again had the highest number of submissions, however we also welcome the growing numbers from our north African member societies of Morocco and Tunisia, and submissions from researchers located far from our European center, such as from South Korea and Japan. Original research is the cornerstone of the scientific content of our meeting, offering valuable insights into the latest advancements in our field. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the researchers who have shared their work with us. Your submissions and active participation drive us forward, and we are proud to say we are the leading international endoscopy meeting in Europe. To demonstrate how much we value researchers’ contributions, this year we have increased the value of travel grants we provide, to further support endoscopists in sharing their vital work at our meeting. At ESGE Days in Barcelona we will present abstracts in a variety of different formats. The best abstracts will be showcased in our Presidential session, paired with state-of-the-art lectures on similar topics. The next best abstracts will be presented as oral presentations, distributed over all three days of the congress. Two of these sessions will be dedicated to nursing abstracts, as we were delighted to receive many abstracts from our nursing community, ESGENA. We will also feature research in the form of moderated posters on innovative stages in the heart of our congress, the Science Arena, where authors will get a chance to discuss their results with expert moderators and delegates. The Science Arena is also where all abstracts will be available to browse via our poster stations. We hope you can join us to explore and learn from this wealth of science on offer in Barcelona. All of this would not have happened without the outstanding work of the Scientific Committee which has worked hard to develop the programme and review and allocate the abstracts. Another big ‘Thank you’ to the Scientific Committee and also to the wonderful ESGE office team for all their support. I look forward to meeting you at ESGE Days where we can “shine a light on endoscopy”!

While fiscal stimulus supported consumption, softening consumer confidence and weak manufacturing production pose risks to the outlook. The tourism recovery slowed, with fewer tourist arrivals particularly from China. Inflation turned negative for the first time in over a year, prompting the Bank of Thailand to lower its policy rate amid a dimmer economic outlook. Financial markets experienced volatility due to global trade uncertainty. The Thai baht depreciated against the US dollar in early April, before notably appreciating in the following weeks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/43309","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-11T02:13:06Z","doi":"10.1596/43309","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1136/lupus-2025-la.foreword","name":"Foreword","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/lupus-2025-la.foreword","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-09T00:20:16Z","doi":"10.1136/lupus-2025-la.foreword","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784485989.fm","name":"Front

However, the public investment disbursement rate slowed as of end of March 2025, reaching 9.5 percent of Prime Minister’s annual plan, below the 12.3 percent execution rate from the same period of last year.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/43143","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-02T02:17:39Z","doi":"10.1596/43143","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1596/44068","name":"Mobility and Development Periodical, Winter 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"This periodical brings together fourteen insightful articles that showcase the transformative role of transport in driving development, connectivity, and innovation across diverse contexts. The collection spans a wide spectrum of themes—from infrastructure renewal and governance reforms to cutting-edge technologies and sustainable mobility solutions. The articles explore how countries are addressing critical challenges and seizing opportunities to modernize transport systems. Highlights include Ethiopia’s ambitious road infrastructure renewal, strategies for achieving net-zero pathways in the European Union, and innovative approaches to car-lite urban futures in small island cities. Other contributions examine traffic demand management in Bogotá, machine learning applications for connectivity in the Amazon, and inland waterway modernization in Assam. Emerging trends such as electric mobility adoption in Bangladesh and the Western Balkans, low-emission transport strategies in China, and proactive asset management in Brazil underscore the sector’s dynamic evolution. Practical lessons from Bolivia’s performance-based contracts and Africa’s output-based models provide actionable insights for practitioners worldwide. Together, these articles offer a comprehensive view of how transport can empower communities, enhance economic resilience, and foster inclusive growth. This compendium serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, development partners, and professionals committed to shaping the future of mobility.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1596/44068","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-02T03:39:48Z","doi":"10.1596/44068","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1515/medgen-2025-2003","name":"Ankündigung des Syndromtages 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/medgen-2025-2003","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-11T08:49:51Z","doi":"10.1515/medgen-2025-2003","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/cr_code_de_procedure_civile_2a","name":"test","source":"crossref","abstract":"test","url":"https://doi.org/10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/cr_code_de_procedure_civile_2a","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-09T10:14:44Z","doi":"10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/cr_code_de_procedure_civile_2a","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/praktikerhandbuch_2016_de","name":"test","source":"crossref","abstract":"test","url":"https://doi.org/10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/praktikerhandbuch_2016_de","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-09T10:32:21Z","doi":"10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/praktikerhandbuch_2016_de","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/umstrukturierungen","name":"test","source":"crossref","abstract":"test","url":"https://doi.org/10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/umstrukturierungen","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-09T10:46:00Z","doi":"10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/umstrukturierungen","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/aon-2017-fr","name":"test","source":"crossref","abstract":"test","url":"https://doi.org/10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/aon-2017-fr","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-09T09:58:14Z","doi":"10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/aon-2017-fr","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/petit-commentaire_code-penale","name":"test","source":"crossref","abstract":"test","url":"https://doi.org/10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/petit-commentaire_code-penale","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-09T10:30:34Z","doi":"10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/petit-commentaire_code-penale","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/stpo_bandii","name":"test","source":"crossref","abstract":"test","url":"https://doi.org/10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/stpo_bandii","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-09T10:38:23Z","doi":"10.3256/helbing_lichtenhahn/stpo_bandii","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.52275/0036-20122025","name":"Эврика-2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"Эврика-2025 [Электронный ресурс] : сборник научных статей XХII Международной научной конференции студентов, магистрантов, аспирантов / Учреждение образования 'Гродненский государственный университет имени Янки Купалы' ; ответственный редактор Ю.

The text highlights Rieber's evolution as a historian, initially focusing on the imperial period and the origins of Russian capitalism, before pivoting to work on Joseph Stalin and Soviet history. Rieber introduced some new concepts, such as the \"borderland thesis,\" arguing that Stalin's policies, particularly regarding foreign affairs and nationality, were profoundly shaped by his early life in the South Caucasus. This approach offered a novel understanding of Stalin's pragmatic and often brutal drive to secure Soviet borders and integrate internal borderlands, which Rieber also applied to moderately revisionist accounts of the Cold War's origins. Резюме: В эссе, посвященном вкладу Альфреда Рибера (1931–2025) в изучение российской и советской истории, Рональд Суни отмечает эволюцию научных интересов Рибера. От первоначального исследования имперского периода и истоков российского капитализма, Рибер перешел к советской истории и биографии Сталина. Он предложил несколько новых концепций, таких как \"тезис о пограничье\". Согласно этой гипотезе, политика Сталина, особенно национальная и международная, сформировалась под воздействием его раннего периода жизни на Южном Кавказе. В итоге Рибер предложил новое понимание одержимости Сталина безопасностью советских границ и интеграции пограничных территорий. Этот подход Рибер также применил к умеренно ревизионистской интерпретации истоков холодной войны.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1353/imp.2025.a977011","authors":["Ronald Grigor Suny"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-12T10:31:40Z","doi":"10.1353/imp.2025.a977011","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.51371/840-2976.2025.19.n.1","name":"Volume 19.0, Issue 1, 2025","source":"crossref","abstract":"Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the neuromuscular profile of elite youth Taekwondo (TKD) athletes using tensiomyography (TMG) to assess lower-limb muscle contractile properties and estimate muscle fiber composition.Methods: Seventeen members of the Croatian national junior TKD team (10 males, 7 females) participated in this crosssectional study.Anthropometric characteristics and age at peak height velocity (APHV) were assessed, and TMG measurements were performed bilaterally on the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle to obtain contraction time (Tc), delay time (Td), sustain time (Tr), and estimated percentage of type I muscle fibers (MHC-I%).The average chronological age of participants was 16.3 ± 0.9 years, with an average APHV of 13.4 ± 0.7 years.Results: Males were taller and heavier than females, and females showed earlier biological maturation.No significant differences were found between the left and right VL for Tc (21.5 ± 2.6 ms vs. 22.2 ± 2.8 ms; P = .29)or MHC-I% (15.4 ± 9.5% vs. 14.4 ± 11.7%; P = .69).However, a significant side-to-side difference was observed in Td (t = 2.43, P = .03),suggesting asymmetries in neuromuscular activation onset.Substantial intra-individual variability in MHC-I% distribution was also observed.Conclusions: These findings provide novel insight into the contractile characteristics of adolescent TKD athletes and highlight the utility of TMG as a non-invasive profiling tool.The results may inform individualized training design, injury prevention strategies, and athlete development models in youth combat sports.","url":"https://doi.org/10.51371/840-2976.2025.19.n.1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-02T04:59:13Z","doi":"10.51371/840-2976.2025.19.n.1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/elmar66948.2025.11193998","name":"ELMAR 2025 Cover Page","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/elmar66948.2025.11193998","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-15T17:34:37Z","doi":"10.1109/elmar66948.2025.11193998","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:28.488Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1061/9780784486016.fm","name":"Front Matter for Geotechnical Frontiers 2025: Soil Characterization and Improvement","source":"crossref","abstract":"Front matter pages come before the papers or chapters in a published work.

The method of Holter tape recording is, however, not ideal for the care of unstable patients: (a) the results of a recording period are only available after this period is finished and subsequent evaluation has taken place; and (b) the sensitivity of monitoring may be increased by recording more than two leads. We have used a portable ECG computer, which monitors the 12-lead ECG every 20 s and records ECGs either when there is consistent ST deviation or at preset intervals (1, 3, 5 min). It stores the information on solid-state memory and displays a summarized ST-level trend on a monitoring screen. The stored information can be reviewed at any time at the bed-side and selected ECGs can be printed out on paper. We have evaluated this device in 23 patients on our CCU, with unstable angina (10), evolving myocardial infarction (4) and post PTCA (9). Forty-two consecutive trend recordings were controlled with independent visual interpretation of 2920 complete 12-lead ECGs. Deviations of the ST-level trend of less than 0.1 mV were due to artefact in over 95%. However, when the ST-level trend showed deviations of above 0.1 mV, 93% of the 12-lead ECGs showed true pathologic changes. Eighty-two per cent of the recorded episodes of transient ischaemia were silent; angina was in every case preceded by ECG changes.

Methods: We randomly assigned 3730 patients with class II to IV heart failure with an ejection fraction of ≤40% to double-blind treatment with placebo or empagliflozin (10 mg once daily), in addition to recommended treatments for heart failure, for a median of 16 months. We prospectively collected information on inpatient and outpatient events reflecting worsening heart failure and prespecified their analysis in individual and composite end points. Results: Empagliflozin reduced the combined risk of death, hospitalization for heart failure or an emergent/urgent heart failure visit requiring intravenous treatment (415 versus 519 patients; empagliflozin versus placebo, respectively; hazard ratio [HR], 0.76; 95% CI, 0.67–0.87; P <0.0001). This benefit reached statistical significance at 12 days after randomization. Empagliflozin reduced the total number of heart failure hospitalizations that required intensive care (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.50–0.90; P =0.008) and that required a vasopressor or positive inotropic drug or mechanical or surgical intervention (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.47–0.87; P =0.005). As compared with placebo, fewer patients in the empagliflozin group reported intensification of diuretics (297 versus 414 [HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.56–0.78; P <0.0001]). Additionally, patients assigned to empagliflozin were 20% to 40% more likely to experience an improvement in New York Heart Association functional class and were 20% to 40% less likely to experience worsening of New York Heart Association functional class, with statistically significant effects that were apparent 28 days after randomization and maintained during long-term follow-up. The risk of any inpatient or outpatient worsening heart failure event in the placebo group was high (48.1 per 100 patient-years of follow-up), and it was reduced by empagliflozin (HR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.63–0.78; P <0.0001). Conclusions: In patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction, empagliflozin reduced the risk and total number of inpatient and outpatient worsening heart failure events, with benefits seen early after initiation of treatment and sustained for the duration of double-blind therapy.

Although antibiotic treatment cannot be a solution for the eradication of avian mycoplasmosis, it can be considered a good option to minimize the number of deaths. One of the challenges of antibiotic treatments is the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among field isolates. Monitoring the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of field isolates can be a practical way of avoiding AMR. Thus, various tests have been developed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of field isolates. A modified broth microdilution minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test has been regularly used to measure the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of MG field isolates. Numerous studies have reported an increase in the number of antibiotic-resistant field isolates of MG. Therefore, this study presents a systematic review on antimicrobial MIC values of MG isolates to gather recent knowledge and investigate the prevalence and distribution of AMR among MG field isolates. A thorough search was conducted for related studies throughout 3 electronic databases. Altogether, 23 studies were identified as eligible studies and were used for further analysis. The results showed that enrofloxacin, oxytetracycline, and tylosin had the highest number of resistant isolates in most of the geographical distributions, respectively.

VAP is a potentially serious complication in these patients who are already critically ill. Oral hygiene care (OHC), using either a mouthrinse, gel, toothbrush, or combination, together with aspiration of secretions, may reduce the risk of VAP in these patients. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of oral hygiene care on incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation in hospital intensive care units (ICUs). SEARCH METHODS: We searched the following electronic databases: Cochrane Oral Health's Trials Register (to 17 December 2015), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (the Cochrane Library, 2015, Issue 11), MEDLINE Ovid (1946 to 17 December 2015), Embase Ovid (1980 to 17 December 2015), LILACS BIREME Virtual Health Library (1982 to 17 December 2015), CINAHL EBSCO (1937 to 17 December 2016), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (1978 to 14 January 2013), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (1994 to 14 January 2013), Wan Fang Database (January 1984 to 14 January 2013) and VIP Database (January 2012 to 4 May 2016). We searched ClinicalTrials.gov and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform for ongoing trials to 17 December 2015. We placed no restrictions on the language or date of publication when searching the electronic databases. SELECTION CRITERIA: We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the effects of OHC (mouthrinse, swab, toothbrush or combination) in critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: At least two review authors independently assessed search results, extracted data and assessed risk of bias in included studies. We contacted study authors for additional information. We pooled data from trials with similar interventions and outcomes. We reported risk ratio (RR) for dichotomous outcomes and mean difference (MD) for continuous outcomes, using random-effects models unless there were fewer than four studies. MAIN RESULTS: = 84%, four studies, 488 participants, high risk of bias) in reducing VAP. Due to variation in comparisons and outcomes among trials, there is insufficient evidence concerning the effects of other oral care solutions. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: OHC including chlorhexidine mouthwash or gel reduces the risk of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia in critically ill patients from 25% to about 19%. However, there is no evidence of a difference in the outcomes of mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation or duration of ICU stay. There is no evidence that OHC including both antiseptics and toothbrushing is different from OHC with antiseptics alone, and some weak evidence to suggest that povidone iodine mouthrinse is more effective than saline/placebo, and saline rinse is more effective than saline swab in reducing VAP. There is insufficient evidence to determine whether powered toothbrushing or other oral care solutions are effective in reducing VAP. There is also insufficient evidence to determine whether any of the interventions evaluated in the studies are associated with adverse effects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.cd008367.pub3","authors":["Fang Hua","Huixu Xie","Helen V Worthington","Susan Furness","Qi Zhang","Chunjie Li"],"tags":["Medicine","Ventilator-associated pneumonia","Cochrane Library","MEDLINE","Mechanical ventilation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-10-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.cd008367.pub3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401653020","name":"Validation of cubic EoS mixing rules and multi‐fluid helmholtz energy approximation EoS for the phase behaviour modelling of CO2‐rich binary mixtures at low temperatures","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract The transportation of CO2 from the capture site to the storage location is a crucial phase in carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) process. For offshore operations, ship transportation is considered a viable alternative, and this would entail operations at low temperatures (down to 223.15 K). A review of the literature revealed that there is limited experimental data on CO2‐rich systems at low temperatures, thus, the need to investigate the phase behaviour of CO2‐rich systems at these conditions. This study validated and compared the accuracies of Peng–Robinson (PR) equation of state (EoS) with three different mixing rules (the classical with original and adjusted binary interaction parameters, the Wong–Sandler, and the Orbey–Wong–Sandler mixing rules) against the multi‐fluid helmholtz energy approximation (MFHEA ‐ with original and adjusted binary‐specific reducing parameters) EoS in the prediction of bubble points of CO2‐rich binary systems (CO2‐CH4, CO2–O2, CO2–Ar, and CO2–N2) for CCUS applications. The experimental studies used for the validation of the models were conducted at low temperatures (228.15–273.15 K with overall uncertainties of 0.14 K) and for five different CO2 mole ratios (99.5, 99, 98.5, 98 and 95% with overall uncertainties of 0.032%) using the constant composition expansion method. The overall uncertainty of the pressure measurements was 0.03 MPa. From the study, it was observed that there was a significant effect of binary interaction parameters (BIP) adjustment on the performance of PR‐EoS with classical mixing rule, especially for the CO2–N2 system. For all the systems, the predictions of PR‐EoS with the classical mixing rules and the adjusted BIPs were the most accurate in terms of the average absolute deviations from the experimental data. The model also predicted the literature data well in comparison with the other models (with less than 5% deviations for all the data points). Further analysis also proved that the model dew point predictions were in reasonable agreement with the available literature data at the considered conditions. As a result, the model could be adopted to fill the existing knowledge gaps of the studied systems at conditions (143.15–223.15 K) where experimental studies were not feasible. © 2024 The Author(s).

This review examines advanced Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Technologies, nanopore fluid dynamics, adsorption processes, and competitive interactions between CO₂ and hydrocarbons in kerogen-rich formations. Monitoring approaches, fracture propagation models, and pressure control systems are also studied to improve recovery efficiency. The research analyzes current advancements in CO₂ collection, including cryogenic separation, membrane technology, and chemical absorption methods. CO₂-EOR improves hydrocarbon mobilization and is a sustainable way to sequester carbon over time. Improved fracture propagation, wettability changes, and adsorption dynamics all lead to increased recovery efficiency and reservoir stability. The findings demonstrate the potential of incorporating CCUS-EOR into future energy programs, indicating both economic viability and ecological sustainability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/12269328.2025.2569519","authors":["Atif Zafar","Khizra Kafeel","Intikhab Ulfat"],"tags":["Oil shale","Carbon fibers","Hydrocarbon","Environmental science","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1080/12269328.2025.2569519","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W127000324","name":"Critical Care Nursing","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1891/0739-6686.5.1.107","authors":["Kathleen Dracup"],"tags":["Nursing","Health care","Nursing research","Critical care nursing","Nursing care"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"1987-09-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1891/0739-6686.5.1.107","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4229365479","name":"Logistics and Supply Chain Modelling for the Biobased Economy: A Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda","source":"openalex","abstract":"One way to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change, is for society to move towards a biobased economy, where fossil resources are replaced by biobased ones. This replacement requires the development of biobased supply chains that differ significantly from the conventional supply chain. For example, seasonality and variability of the feedstocks create specific challenges for biobased systems and call for customized solutions for the design and operation of biobased chains. As a result, the modelling efforts to support decision-making processes for biobased logistics and supply chains have some different requirements. This paper presents a systematic literature review on logistics and supply chain modelling studies for the biobased economy published in a period of 2011–2020. The literature analysis shows that most modelling studies for the biobased economy are strategic optimization models aiming to minimize economic impact. As biomass source, forest and agricultural residues are mostly used, and fuel and energy are the most common biobased applications. Modelling strategies, biomass sources and applications are however diversifying, which is what we encourage for future research. Also, not only focusing on economic optimization but also optimizing social and environmental performance is an important future research direction, to deal with the sustainability challenges the world is facing.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fceng.2022.778315","authors":["Helena M.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of chlorhexidine, alcohol, and alcohol-chlorhexidine solutions on local CRIs in patients admitted to coronary care units (CCUs). Methods: This randomized double-blind clinical trial was performed on 150 patients admitted to the CCUs of the hospitals affiliated to Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2017. The subjects were selected using the convenience sampling method and randomly divided into three groups of 50, including groups A (alcohol), B (chlorhexidine), and C (alcohol-chlorhexidine). The injection site was disinfected with 70% alcohol, chlorhexidine solution, chlorhexidine-alcohol solutions in groups A, B, and C at a radius of 5 cm from the center. Local CRIs rate was assessed based on results of a culture test. After removing the catheter from the vessel, the tip was separated with a scissor and transferred to the culture medium under sterile conditions. It was then sent to laboratory for microbiological evaluation, and the culture results were compared. In case of growth of more than 15 colonies in each plate, the colony was considered to be positive. Patients and laboratory experts who reviewed and reported the results of the culture were blind to the group allocations. Data were then analyzed by using Chi-square test and Fisher’s Exact test in SPSS, version 16. Results: We found a significant difference between the three groups in terms of local CRIs (A: 20%, B: 22%, and C: 4%; P: 0.024). There was a significant difference between the chlorhexidine and alcohol-chlorhexidine groups (P = 0.007) and between the alcohol and alcohol-chlorhexidine groups in this regard (P = 0.014). The prevalence of local CRIs was significantly lower in the alcohol-chlorhexidine group than the alcohol and chlorhexidine groups. Conclusions: Since the findings of the present research showed that skin cleansing with alcohol-chlorhexidine solution compared to alcohol and chlorhexidine could more effectively reduce local CRIs, it is recommended to use this formulation for disinfection of the intravenous catheterization site.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5812/msnj.85962","authors":["Hamed Sarani","Ali Navidian","Ebrahim Ebrahimi Tabas","Enayatollah Safarzai","Somayeh Jahani"],"tags":["Chlorhexidine","Medicine","Antiseptic","Exact test","Alcohol"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-11-11","doi":"https://doi.org/10.5812/msnj.85962","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4385479577","name":"Recent Advances in X-ray Computed Tomography for Alkali-Activated Materials: A Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) have been extensively studied due to their high performance and low carbon emissions.

Sonographic measurement of the inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter is a non-invasive method of estimating these parameters, but there are limited data summarizing its diagnostic accuracy across multiple studies. We performed a comprehensive review of the existing literature to examine the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of sonographic measurement of IVC diameter as a method for assessing CVP and RAP. METHODS: We performed a systematic search using PubMed of clinical studies comparing sonographic evaluation of IVC diameter and collapsibility against gold standard measurements of CVP and RAP. We included clinical studies that were performed in adults, used current imaging techniques, and were published in English. RESULTS: Twenty one clinical studies were identified that compared sonographic assessment of IVC diameter with CVP and RAP and met all inclusion criteria. Despite substantial heterogeneity in measurement techniques and patient populations, most studies demonstrated moderate strength correlations between measurements of IVC diameter and collapsibility and CVP or RAP, but more favorable diagnostic accuracy using pre-specified cut points. Findings were inconsistent among mechanically ventilated patients, except in the absence of positive end-expiratory pressure. CONCLUSION: Sonographic measurement of IVC diameter and collapsibility is a valid method of estimating CVP and RAP.

In this paper, the current laboratory test methods and test results of ScCO 2 fracturing granite are reviewed, and the breakdown pressure and fracture parameters are discussed, and the existing problems and suggestions are given. The results show that the breakdown pressure of ScCO 2 is 19.26–26.99% lower than that of water. The breakdown pressure is positively correlated with confining pressure and injection flow rate, and negatively correlated with temperature. ScCO 2 tends to form shear fractures, induce more fracture branches and more complex fracture morphology than other fracturing fluids. Compared with water, the density of fracture branches increased by 17.82–60.54%, and the complexity of fracture morphology increased by about 4%. Existing studies have shown that ScCO 2 has the advantages of low breakdown pressure, good fracture formation effect, no pollution and water resource saving. It is suggested that further research should be carried out regarding fracturing fluid properties, laboratory tests, theoretical derivation and engineering application in the future, to accelerate the application process of ScCO 2 in deep geothermal development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40948-023-00636-x","authors":["Bowen Zheng","Shengwen Qi","Wei Lü","Songfeng Guo","Ning Liang","Xin Yu","Zan Wang"],"tags":["Supercritical fluid","Geothermal gradient","Petroleum engineering","Fracture (geology)","Hydraulic fracturing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40948-023-00636-x","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391943014","name":"Nursing Interventions to Improve the Sleep Quality of Hospitalized Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of nursing interventions on sleep quality in hospitalized patients. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted, encompassing databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, ProQuest, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library, with publications up until September 2022 being considered. A random-effects model was utilized to calculate standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for continuous outcomes. Results A total of 77 studies involving 7771 participants were included in the systematic review. Among these, 18 studies met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis, involving a total of 1153 participants. The meta-analysis results indicated a positive effect of nursing interventions on sleep quality, as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score (SMD = −4.21, 95% CI = −5.75 to −2.67, P < 0.001), and the St. Mary’s Hospital Sleep Questionnaire (SMHSQ) (SMD = −1.87, 95% CI = −2.77 to −0.98, P < 0.001). However, there was substantial heterogeneity observed among the studies (I2 = 97.8%, P < 0.001 and I2 = 93.5%, P < 0.001, respectively). While a significant number of individual studies demonstrated that nursing interventions improved both sleep quantity and quality in hospitalized patients. Conclusions The meta-analysis identified three specific interventions; relaxation, music therapy, and the use of earplugs/eye masks, that had a positive impact on sleep quantity and quality. It is important to acknowledge that due to variations in methodological quality and heterogeneity among the included studies, drawing definitive conclusions regarding the effectiveness of different interventions is challenging, and interpreting the results with caution is necessary.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44231-024-00056-9","authors":["Akbar Ashghab","Amir Vahedian‐Azimi","Zohreh Vafadar","Mohsen Mollahadi","Mojtaba Sepandi"],"tags":["Psychological intervention","Meta-analysis","Nursing Interventions Classification","Medicine","Nursing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44231-024-00056-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4319786741","name":"Norepinephrine May Exacerbate Septic Acute Kidney Injury: A Narrative Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Sepsis, the most serious complication of infection, occurs when a cascade of potentially life-threatening inflammatory responses is triggered. Potentially life-threatening septic shock is a complication of sepsis that occurs when hemodynamic instability occurs. Septic shock may cause organ failure, most commonly involving the kidneys. The pathophysiology and hemodynamic mechanisms of acute kidney injury in the case of sepsis or septic shock remain to be elucidated, but previous studies have suggested multiple possible mechanisms or the interplay of multiple mechanisms. Norepinephrine is used as the first-line vasopressor in the management of septic shock. Studies have reported different hemodynamic effects of norepinephrine on renal circulation, with some suggesting that it could possibly exacerbate acute kidney injury caused by septic shock. This narrative review briefly covers the updates on sepsis and septic shock regarding definitions, statistics, diagnosis, and management, with an explanation of the putative pathophysiological mechanisms and hemodynamic changes, as well as updated evidence.

The environmental impacts of cement production have grown in recent years and it is urgent to reduce its carbon footprint. Systems dynamics (SD) is a simulation method used to understand the nonlinear behavior of complex systems over time. It is commonly used in various sectors to predict emissions and conduct policy experiments. Due to the poor implementation of carbon mitigation strategies within the cement industry, enhancing policymaking by employing more advanced decision-support tools is necessary. This paper reviews previous studies that use the SD approach to assess and compare different mitigation strategies proposed and implemented to reduce carbon emissions in the cement industry. These strategies encompass technological advancements and process improvements, including using alternative fuels and raw materials (adopting low-carbon cementitious materials), energy efficiency improvements, carbon capture and storage and waste heat recovery. The review examines the papers' scope, model descriptions, validation method and mitigation methods highlighted in each study, providing valuable insights for decision makers in the cement industry. Furthermore, the paper discusses the limitations and gaps related to SD modeling, highlighting important factors such as stakeholder engagement in designing effective carbon mitigation strategies. The reviewed studies constantly emphasized technical strategies for mitigating carbon emissions from the cement industry, as stated by the International Energy Agency (IEA) classification. Innovative and emerging technologies, such as WHR, depends on adequate funding, motivation and research and development. However, they frequently neglected to address the barriers hindering their implementation or provide detailed policy measures to overcome them using SD. Additional research is required to assess the practicality and costs of implementing these strategies.

The simulation of viscoelastic flows has both a scientific importance and practical implications in polymer processing. This work has put the emphasis on the extrusion of polymeric materials, where viscoelastic effects cause dynamical instabilities, despite the very simple geometry. This thesis reviews the popular differential constitutive models derived from molecular theories of dilute polymer solutions, polymer networks, and entangled polymer melts, as well as the inelastic phenomenological models describing shear–thinning and viscoplastic (yield stress) fluids, based on the generalized Newtonian fluid model. In addition, the numerical issues related to the high Weissenberg number problem, and its remedy with the log–conformation representation, are discussed. The proposed algorithm utilizes a new streamfunction/log–conformation scheme. The drawbacks of the classical velocity–pressure decoupled method, which is by far the most popular approach, are remedied with the pure streamfunction formulation, which is derived from the pressureless vorticity‐based methods. The implicit pure streamfunction formulation is formally more accurate than the velocity–pressure decoupled method, because it is immune of decoupling errors. Moreover, the absence of decoupling enhances the stability of the calculation. The governing equations (conservation laws and constitutive models) are discretized with the finite– volume method, on a Cartesian grid. Discrete curl operators are applied to the discretized momentum equations in order to obtain the matrix system of the discrete streamfunction variables. The coupling of the streamfunction/log–conformation scheme with adaptive under‐relaxation and adaptive time‐stepping yield a robust and efficient viscoelastic flow solver algorithm. The potential extension of the method to threedimensional simulations is also discussed in this thesis. Bi‐phasic/free‐surface flows are modelled with the Volume–of–Fluid (VOF) method, and the standard piecewise–linear–interface–construction technique. In addition, a new Cellwise Conservative Unsplit (CCU) advection scheme is presented. The CCU scheme updates the liquid volume fractions based on cellwise backward‐tracking of the liquid volumes. The algorithm calculates non‐overlapping and conforming adjacent donating regions, which ensures the boundedness and conservativeness of the liquid volume. As a result, the CCU advection scheme is overall more accurate in classical benchmark tests, than the other state‐of‐the‐art multidimensional VOF–advection schemes. In complex flows, the convergence rate of the CCU scheme with mesh refinements is between 2 and 3. Moreover, the remaining geometrical errors are mostly due to the inability of the standard piecewise linear interface to represent subgrid material topologies (i.e. high curvatures and thin material filaments), rather than the proposed CCU advection scheme. This thesis reports examples of numerical simulations of the Oldroyd–B liquid, calculated with the proposed streamfunction/log–conformation/VOF–CCU methodology, implemented in Matlab. A thorough investigation of the viscoelastic flow in the lid‐driven cavity is conducted. The streamfunction/log–conformation shows secondorder accuracy and numerical stability at very large time‐step increments, which demonstrates the robustness of vi the scheme. The numerical results at moderate Weissenberg numbers are in good agreement with the literature. Moreover, the enhancement of numerical stability, with the streamfunction/log–conformation scheme, makes it possible to simulate elastic instabilities at high Weissenberg numbers. Quasi‐periodic elastic instabilities at the upstream corner appear to be a mechanism that dissipates the stored elastic energy. The simulations of viscoelastic flows in the planar 4:1 contraction are also in good agreement with data in the l","url":"https://openalex.org/W2604534706","authors":["Raphaël Comminal","Jesper Henri Hattel","Nini Pryds","Jon Spangenberg"],"tags":["Volume (thermodynamics)","Viscoelasticity","Surface (topology)","Stream function","Volume of fluid method"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-01-01","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4381598118","name":"Edible Herbal Medicines as an Alternative to Common Medication for Sleep Disorders: A Review Article","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract: Insomnia is repeated difficulty in falling asleep, maintaining sleep, or experiencing lowquality sleep, resulting in some form of daytime disturbance.

Recent articles have shown that environmentally sustainable consumer behaviors driven by lifestyle changes can significantly contribute to climate-change mitigation and sustainable development goals. However, lifestyle changes are not adequately captured by scenarios developed with integrated assessment and energy-system models (IAMs/ESMs), which provide limited policy insights. This article conducts a systematic review of the IAM and ESM literature to identify the most important lifestyle changes in current mitigation pathways for the residential and transport sectors, review the employed state-of-the-art modeling approaches and scenario assumptions, and propose improvements to existing methodological frameworks. The review finds that mode shifts towards public transport and active transport modes, shared mobility, and eco-driving have the greatest impact in the transport sector, while actions that reduce space and water-heating requirements and the circular economy are the most effective practices in households. Common modeling approaches lack sophistication as they omit (1) the dynamics and costs of demand-side transitions, (2) the heterogenous responses of different consumer groups, and (3) the structural effects of lifestyles on the macro-economy. New approaches employing innovative methodologies combined with big data collected from users offer new avenues to overcome these challenges and improve the modeling of lifestyle changes in large-scale models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15144948","authors":["Andreas Andreou","Panagiotis Fragkos","Theofano Fotiou","Faidra Filippidou"],"tags":["Sophistication","Environmental economics","Climate change","Sustainable development","Risk analysis (engineering)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-07-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en15144948","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4388946553","name":"A bi-layer wind-CCUS-battery expansion stochastic planning framework considering a source-load bilateral carbon incentive mechanism based on the carbon emission flow theory","source":"openalex","abstract":"The rapid development of low-carbon energy technologies and energy storage technologies has provided an important and feasible path to decarbonizing the power system. In this context, there is an increasing number of studies on renewable energy, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and energy storage expansion planning. However, most of the existing studies attribute the carbon responsibilities to the source side and a small number to the load side. Expansion planning studies that consider the overall carbon emissions of the system to be shared between the source and the load side are still relatively few. Therefore, it is necessary for the source and the load side to share the responsibility for the total system carbon emissions. To fill this research gap, this paper proposes a source-load bilateral carbon incentive mechanism for wind-CCUS-battery power systems based on the carbon emission flow theory. Besides, a bi-layer wind-CCUS-battery expansion stochastic planning framework considering wind and load uncertainties is constructed. The first layer takes the minimum expectation of power generation costs, fixed investment costs of wind turbines and CCUS units and carbon incentive costs as the objective function from a source-side perspective. The second layer takes the minimum battery investment cost and the expectation of electricity purchasing costs and load-side carbon incentive costs as the objective function from a load-side perspective. Finally, the proposed model is tested on the IEEE 24 bus power system for validity and advantage. The results show that the current high investment cost is not favorable to CCUS construction. At this time, the bilateral carbon incentive mechanism is more conducive to promoting system carbon reduction than the unilateral carbon incentive mechanism. In the future, as the cost of CCUS decreases, the source-side carbon incentive mechanism is more conducive to system carbon reduction than the bilateral carbon incentive mechanism. Due to the consideration of the stochastic uncertainty of wind turbines and loads, the research in this paper is closer to the reality, which can provide a reference for the future carbon emission reduction path of the power system, especially for the quantitative analysis of carbon emission reduction of CCUS, which is an important guiding significance for the promotion of the engineering practice of CCUS.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2023.1304538","authors":["Xu Deng","Junpei Nan","Jieran Feng","Xianfu Gong","Hao Zhou","Wenhu Tang"],"tags":["Renewable energy","Incentive","Wind power","Environmental economics","Carbon price"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-11-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2023.1304538","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409486432","name":"Future prospects towards attaining zero-emission of greenhouse gases from crude oil refinery plants","source":"openalex","abstract":"The contribution of greenhouse gas emissions from crude oil refineries to the global climate change has been so problematic.

In-depth discussions and salient points, shedding light for prospective researchers on the critical areas that should be investigated and improved on to attain net-zero emissions in refinery, were presented. The effects of the increase in the global number of refineries on GHG emissions trend in top countries are discussed. Top 10 countries and refinery industries with the highest GHG emissions were referenced as case studies. Between 2000 and 2021, the cumulative GHG emissions from refineries attained 34.1 Gt due to increase in the number of refineries while the top 10 enterprises accounted for approximately 33.8–38.1 %. Accumulative reduction of 532 Mt and 928 Mt of CO 2 emissions are expected between 2020 and 2030 if the efficiencies of refineries in the top 10 countries and global refineries are respectively improved. Technologies such as hydrogen-based refining and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS); integration of circular economy principles; green financing and government-backed incentives; and government-based policies are some of the steps that can be taken to make reduction of GHG emissions from refineries a reality. In conclusion, the stated vital points regarding future prospects towards attaining net-zero emissions from crude oil refinery plants will be beneficial for prospective researchers and the entire globe. • SO₂, NOₓ, CO₂ and VOCs are major GHG from crude oil refinery operations. • Top 10 enterprises accounted for about 33.8–38.1 % of total GHG emissions. • Between 2000 and 2021, total GHG emissions from refineries attained 34.1 Gt. • Global warming should be limited to meet international climate targets. • Refineries should adopt cleaner technologies that minimize environmental impacts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clwas.2025.100290","authors":["Lekan Taofeek Popoola","Celestine Chidi Nwogbu","Usman Taura","Yuli Panca Asmara","Lois O.

It captures carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industry processes and either purifies and inserts the gas again in the circular economy (utilization) or transports it to a suitable underground storage, stopping emissions. The United Kingdom (UK) has unique geology, skills, and infrastructure and consequently a strategic advantage for CCUS when compared to other countries, especially the coastal North Sea regions (e.g., Tees Valley). This study focused on the Tees Valley Industrial Cluster to understand the constraining and enabling factors of the CCUS technology deployment, from the perspective of local experts and practitioners, whose role is to implement actions to reduce GHG emissions. Two workshops were held to explore practitioners' attitudes towards the technology, perceived benefits of the technology, barriers and enablers for implementation and factors that would need to be in place to support technology implementation. Qualitative data collected in the workshops were analyzed to identify common themes. Participants agreed that business and industry sectors must play their part in mitigating climate change. They also agreed that it is fundamental to support the green transition and the implementation of net zero-related technologies. The perceived benefits of CCUS are the contribution to fulfill Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) standards and an increased ability to attract young workers, interested in sustainability. Barriers for implementation include lack of knowledge about the technology, costs of the technology, volatility of the carbon markets, political uncertainty, risks, and negative public perceptions. Regional factors such as local political support were identified as crucial to the success of technology deployment. A reliable UK Industry Strategy, investment in the technology and supply chain, local investment in skills, knowledge, education, and research were considered essential to ensure further technology adoption.

It will play a major role in removing carbon emissions that can not be avoided. The countries are adopting and have successfully practiced various financial/ policy instruments such as carbon pricing, tax credits, and procurement programs in favour of low-carbon products to make CCUS economically viable. India is one of the countries those have submitted their net-zero emission targets. However, hard-toabate sectors like industries and irreplaceable coal power plants that jointly contribute to almost 80% of total CO2emissions, can achieve net-zero only by utilisation of negative emission technologies such as CCUS. CCUS technology allows various capture methods followed by different separation technologies of CO2. The transportation of CO2can be done through pipelines, rails, trucks, and ships. The captured CO2can be converted into different products for various applications and storage. In this paper, different CCUS technologies with various methods of CO2separation and carbon capture are discussed. The paper presents a short review of different CCUS projects running in India at a pilot stage along with challenges in their commercial implementation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/npsc57038.2022.10069425","authors":["Prabhat Ranjan Mishra","Ajay Verma","Anjali Jain","Parul Mathuria","Rohit Bhakar"],"tags":["Procurement","Carbon fibers","Greenhouse gas","Computer science","Zero emission"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-12-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1109/npsc57038.2022.10069425","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W2897936701","name":"Assessing copy number aberrations and copy neutral loss of heterozygosity across the genome as best practice: An evidence based review of clinical utility from the cancer genomics consortium (CGC) working group for myelodysplastic syndrome, myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative and myeloproliferative neoplasms","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cancergen.2018.07.003","authors":["Rashmi Kanagal‐Shamanna","Jennelle C.

Hybrid cloud computing solutions, including infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS), offer potential to overcome these barriers by providing scalable, flexible IT services. This study systematically reviews the impact of cloud computing on SME performance, focusing on key performance metrics such as cost-efficiency, operational reliability, and competitive advantage. A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA 2020 framework. Inclusion criteria included studies published in English from 2014 to 2024, focusing on cloud computing for SMEs and presenting clear analytical frameworks for evaluating performance. Out of an initial pool of 18,570 studies, 90 met the criteria for detailed analysis. Findings show that cloud computing adoption enhances SME performance, with approximately 82% of studies reporting improvements in operational efficiency and 76% noting cost savings. Competitive advantage was identified as a key benefit in 64% of studies, driven by cloud-enabled scalability and access to advanced technology. Key adoption drivers include management support (cited by 68% of studies), service quality (56%), and perceived risks (54%), while barriers such as initial cost concerns and data security risks were also prevalent, affecting 48% and 45% of SMEs, respectively. This review provides strategic insights for SMEs and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of tailored cloud strategies that align with specific operational needs and budget constraints. By addressing key predictors and challenges, this study offers a roadmap for SMEs to leverage cloud computing to improve performance, sustainability, and competitiveness.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/businesses5020023","authors":["Ayaphila Mkhize","Katleho Mokhothu","Mukhodeni Tshikhotho","Bonginkosi Thango"],"tags":["Cloud computing","Computer science","Systematic review","Data science","Operating system"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/businesses5020023","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W2810629707","name":"Social Iniquity and Mortality Related to Breast and Cervical Cancers: an Integrative Review / Iniquidade Social e Mortalidade por Câncer de Mama e Colo do Útero: Uma Revisão Integrativa","source":"openalex","abstract":"Objetivos: Identificar as principais publicações relacionadas à iniquidade social e mortalidade por câncer de mama (CAM) e/ou colo do útero (CCU) e investigar o tipo de associação existente entre fator e desfecho.

METHODS: MEDLINE, Science Direct, Web of Knowledge, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched up to November 2019. English language randomized controlled trials reporting the effect of pre, pro or synbiotics on the feeding tolerance of enterally fed critically ill adult patients were included. RESULTS: Overall, 15 papers were selected for review. Among six studies reporting the energy intake, only two studies showed significantly higher energy intake in the prebiotic-receiving groups. Among four RCTs reporting frequency or time to achieve the target calorie, only one found a significant effect of probiotics to reduce the time to achieve a target dose of calorie. About the prevalence or duration of diarrhea, 7 out of 12 RCTs reported a beneficial effect. All but one study found no beneficial effects for gut microbiota manipulation on clinical endpoints including length of stay (LOS) in hospital and intensive care unit (ICU). CONCLUSION: It should be noticed that the heterogeneity in study designs, product format, and ICU patient populations makes it difficult to draw any general conclusion. Overall, it seems that pre, pro, or synbiotics have no significant beneficial effect on feeding tolerance and clinical endpoints in critically ill adults, but they may reduce the prevalence or duration of diarrhea.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-021-01633-5","authors":["Najmeh Seifi","Ali Jafarzadeh Esfahani","Alireza Sedaghat","Reza Rezvani","Majid Khadem‐Rezaiyan","Mohsen Nematy","Mohammad Safarian"],"tags":["Medicine","Synbiotics","Critically ill","Randomized controlled trial","Diarrhea"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-021-01633-5","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4388424119","name":"CaO-based high temperature CO2 sorbents – Literature review","source":"openalex","abstract":"The use of CaO-based adsorbents has a high potential to capture CO 2 from various systems due to its high reactivity with CO 2 , high capacity, and low cost of naturally derived CaO. The application of CaO-based sorbents to remove carbon dioxide is based on a reversible reaction between CaO and CO 2 . However, multiple carbonation/calcination cycles lead to a rapid reduction in the sorption capacity of natural CaO, and therefore efforts are made to reduce this disadvantage by doping, regenerating, or producing synthetic CaO with stable sorption properties. In this review, the synthesis methods used to obtain CaO-based sorbents were collected, and the latest research on improving their sorption properties was presented. The most commonly used models to describe the CO 2 sorption kinetics on CaO-based sorbents were also introduced. The methods of sorbent regeneration and their effectiveness were summarized. In the last part of this review, the current state of advancement of work on the larger scale, possible problems, and opportunities during scale-up of the calcium looping process were presented. Concluding (i) the presented methods of adsorbent synthesis allow for the production of doped CaO adsorbents on a laboratory scale, characterized by high CO 2 capture efficiency and good cyclic stability, (ii) the most commonly used in practice models describing CO 2 chemisorption are empirical models and the shrinking core model, (iii) the use of sorbent regeneration allows for a significant improvement in sorption capacity, (iv) the scale-up of both the production of new CaO adsorbents and the CO 2 capture technology with their use requires further development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.24425/cpe.2021.138938","authors":["Donata Konopacka-Łyskawa","Natalia Czaplicka","Andrzej Szefer"],"tags":["Materials science","Chemical engineering","Engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-11-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.24425/cpe.2021.138938","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405231265","name":"Catalytic and Noncatalytic in Situ Hydrogen Production from Heavy Oil: A Review of Experimental Studies","source":"openalex","abstract":") offers a less carbon-intensive energy production method than natural gas.

The primary driver of the current climate crisis is the substantial emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), particularly carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Microalgae, as photoautotrophic microorganisms, offer a promising solution by utilizing CO 2 for biosynthesis. Previous research indicates that microalgae can fix CO 2 at rates exceeding 1.5 kg/m 2 /year under optimal conditions, and produce lipids with high content of unsaturated fatty acids. This review delves into recent advancements understanding the causes and effects of global warming, with a particular focus on agricultural GHG emissions. It critically examines the carbon sequestration mechanisms of microalgae and their potential as single-cell biofactories for carbon neutralization and biomanufacturing. The review highlights their ability to fix CO 2 and produce high-value products such as biofuels, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and foods. Among these species, the characteristics and value of seven edible microalgae are also described. We outline the technical and economic challenges associated with scaling up microalgae cultivation from laboratory to industrial scale, including the optimization of cultivation systems and the improvement of harvesting and processing techniques. This review serves as a useful and informative reference for the application of CO 2 capture and high-value bioproducts by microalgae, aiming to provide a reference for the realization of carbon neutrality and the mitigation of climate change.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2025.1644390","authors":["H.

To minimize total water withdrawal and total water consumption, a source-sink matching model for CCUS projects under water resource constraints was established to optimize the layout of CCUS projects in China. The results show that there is a mismatch between the distribution of coal-fired power plants in a spatial location and water resources. The annual increase in water withdrawal of about 27.6 billion tons and water consumption of about 2.4 billion tons is needed to achieve the 2 °C target, which will aggravate the water scarcity in the north-central cities. Implementation of CO2-enhanced water recovery (CO2-EWR) technology can offset some of the increase in urban water consumption owing to CCUS deployment.

In this scenario, decarbonisation of the chemical industry is one of the global challenges that the scientific community needs to address in the immediate future. Catalysis and catalytic processes are called to play a decisive role in the transition to a more sustainable and low-carbon future. This critical review analyses the unique advantages of structured reactors (isothermicity, a wide range of residence times availability, complex geometries) with the multifunctional design of efficient catalysts to synthesise chemicals using CO2 and renewable H2 in a Power-to-X (PTX) strategy. Fine-chemistry synthetic methods and advanced in situ/operando techniques are essential to elucidate the changes of the catalysts during the studied reaction, thus gathering fundamental information about the active species and reaction mechanisms. Such information becomes crucial to refine the catalyst’s formulation and boost the reaction’s performance. On the other hand, reactors architecture allows flow pattern and temperature control, the management of strong thermal effects and the incorporation of specifically designed materials as catalytically active phases are expected to significantly contribute to the advance in the valorisation of CO2 in the form of high added-value products.

BACKGROUND: Restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty represents, in part, a proliferative response of vascular smooth muscle at the site of injury. We have previously shown that ionizing radiation, delivered by means of an intracoronary source, causes focal medial fibrosis. We therefore hypothesized that intracoronary irradiation delivered at the time of balloon angioplasty might impair the restenosis process. METHODS: Nineteen juvenile swine underwent coronary angiography; a segment of the coronary artery was chosen as a target for balloon injury. In 10 swine, a ribbon of iridium-192 was positioned at the target segment, and 2,000 cGy was delivered at the vessel wall. Subsequently, overdilation balloon angioplasty was performed at the irradiated segment. In nine control swine, overdilation balloon angioplasty was performed without previous irradiation. Eighteen animals survived and were killed at 30 days. Histopathologic analysis was performed by a pathologist in blinded manner. The area of maximal lumen compromise within the target segment was analyzed by computer-assisted planimetry. RESULTS: In the control group, mean (+/- SD) neointimal area was 0.84 +/- 0.60 mm2 compared with that in the irradiated group, 0.24 +/- 0.13 mm2 (p = 0.01). In the control group, mean percent area stenosis was 47.6 +/- 20.7%, whereas that in the irradiated group was 17.6 +/- 10.5% (p = 0.001). This represents a 71.4% reduction in neointimal area and a 63.0% reduction in percent area stenosis in the irradiated group. Adjacent coronary segments and surrounding myocardium were unaffected. CONCLUSIONS: Intracoronary irradiation (2,000 cGy) delivered to a target porcine coronary segment before balloon overdilation markedly reduces neointima formation at 30 days and thus significantly impairs the restenosis process.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/0735-1097(94)90397-2","authors":["J Wiedermann","Charles C.

While conventional management often exacerbates these impacts, thermochemical technologies such as pyrolysis, gasification, and hydrothermal processing offer promising pathways to convert manure into energy, biochar, and other valuable products within a circular bioeconomy. However, these processes can still emit carbon, limiting their environmental benefits. Integrating carbon capture technologies can mitigate these emissions, enabling net-negative outcomes and enhancing overall energy efficiency. This review explores the technical, economic, and environmental aspects of thermochemical manure valorization and emphasizes the transformative potential of coupling these processes with carbon capture. Combustion and co-firing reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels, but are hindered by manure’s high ash and moisture content. Advanced thermochemical methods such as pyrolysis and gasification yield biochar, bio-oil, and syngas, yet face similar limitations. Hydrothermal processing, especially hydrothermal liquefaction and carbonization, effectively addresses moisture-related challenges and is particularly effective for pig manure. Catalytic gasification further improves conversion efficiency and product quality but remains costly due to expensive catalysts and process complexity. Evidence suggests that integrating carbon capture with thermochemical conversion offers a viable solution for achieving net-negative emissions. However, the widespread deployment of these integrated systems is constrained by high capital costs and infrastructure requirements. Realizing their full potential requires targeted investment, technological innovation, and robust policy support to overcome existing barriers and drive scalable, sustainable implementation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18331/brj2025.12.2.2","authors":["Mohammadali Kiehbadroudinezhad","Homa Hosseinzadeh-Bandbafha","Warren Mabee","Sonil Nanda","Hamid Afshari","Mohammad Saleh Saeedi","Bruce Rathgeber","Khaled Zoroufchi Benis"],"tags":["Manure","Carbon fibers","Environmental science","Biochemical engineering","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.18331/brj2025.12.2.2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4390515838","name":"Clinical Features and Mortality Rate of Infective Endocarditis in Intensive Care Unit: A Large-Scale Study and Literature Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Large-scale multicentric studies reported that, despite advances in diagnosis, antibiotics, and surgical treatment, infective endocarditis (IE) in-hospital mortality remains high.

The few studies focused on complicated IE patients leading to intensive care unit (ICU) admission have reported different methodologies and results. The aim of our study was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and microbial features of critically ill patients admitted to the ICU with a definite IE diagnosis. METHODS: We conducted a prospective case-series population study from January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2020. Patients were divided into 2 groups: 'Ward' (group 1) and 'ICU' patients (group 2), and a 1-year follow-up was performed. RESULTS: After performing a univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis, we found that the independent predictors of ICU admission were vegetation diameter >10 mm, abnormal PaO2/FiO2 ratio, and acute heart failure. Five independent mortality risk factors were identified: SOFA score >14, not performing surgery, age >70 years, acute heart failure, and embolic complications.

The dependence on fossil fuels has led to increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere every year. And it is far from enough to solve the climate problem by reducing the consumption of fossil fuels to cut down carbon dioxide emissions. In recent years, a series of researches on Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) have been carried out in various countries around the world. CO2 is a non-toxic, tasteless and stable gas at normal temperature. However, when it reaches supercritical state after rising temperature and pressure, it has the characteristics of low viscosity, high diffusivity and high density, and is widely used in green, pollution-free and efficient development technology. Because of these unique properties, supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) has attracted more and more attention from researchers. sCO2 has been widely used in many aspects by virtue of its high solubility and easy compression. Different from previous reviews which only introduced the application of sCO2 property, this paper introduces the current research status of the application of the thermodynamic property of carbon dioxide in extraction, dyeing, pharmaceutical, power generation, heat transfer and exploitation of unconventional oil and gas, and mainly analyzes each application in detail from the aspects of working mechanism and improving working efficiency. Finally, the research direction and problems needed to be solved for the application of CO2 thermal physics are proposed, which pave the way for other new applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.recm.2023.07.001","authors":["Pei Duan","Kun Jiang","Jinwen Shi","Hui Jin"],"tags":["Carbon dioxide","Fossil fuel","Greenhouse gas","Supercritical carbon dioxide","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-13","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.recm.2023.07.001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W2560046020","name":"Measuring global water security towards sustainable development goals","source":"openalex","abstract":"Water plays an important role in underpinning equitable, stable and productive societies and ecosystems.Hence, United Nations recognized ensuring water security as one (Goal 6) of the seventeen sustainable development goals (SDGs).Many international river basins are likely to experience 'low water security' over the coming decades.Water security is rooted not only in the physical availability of freshwater resources relative to water demand, but also on social and economic factors (e.g.sound water planning and management approaches, institutional capacity to provide water services, sustainable economic policies).Until recently, advanced tools and methods are available for the assessment of water scarcity.However, quantitative and integrated-physical and socio-economic-approaches for spatial analysis of water security at global level are not available yet.In this study, we present a spatial multi-criteria analysis framework to provide a global assessment of water security.The selected indicators are based on Goal 6 of SDGs.The term 'security' is conceptualized as a function of 'availability', 'accessibility to services', 'safety and quality', and 'management'.The proposed global water security index (GWSI) is calculated by aggregating indicator values on a pixel-by-pixel basis, using the ordered weighted average method, which allows for the exploration of the sensitivity of final maps to different attitudes of hypothetical policy makers.Our assessment suggests that countries of Africa, South Asia and Middle East experience very low water security.Other areas of high water scarcity, such as some parts of United States, Australia and Southern Europe, show better GWSI values, due to good performance of management, safety and quality, and accessibility.The GWSI maps show the areas of the world in which integrated strategies are needed to achieve water related targets of the SDGs particularly in the African and Asian continents.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/11/12/124015","authors":["Animesh K.

Here, we assess pathways of Chinese PM2.5 air quality from 2015 to 2060 under a combination of scenarios that link global and Chinese climate mitigation pathways (i.e. global 2°C- and 1.5°C-pathways, National Determined Contributions (NDC) pledges and carbon neutrality goals) to local clean air policies. We find that China can achieve both its near-term climate goals (peak emissions) and PM2.5 air quality annual standard (35 μg/m3) by 2030 by fulfilling its NDC pledges and continuing air pollution control policies. However, the benefits of end-of-pipe control reductions are mostly exhausted by 2030, and reducing PM2.5 exposure of the majority of the Chinese population to below 10 μg/m3 by 2060 will likely require more ambitious climate mitigation efforts such as China's carbon neutrality goals and global 1.5°C-pathways.

The material technologies include the fracture of pipeline materials and its mitigation, high corrosion-resistant and sealing materials, key corrosion-control techniques for the long-term operation of pipelines, and corrosion risk evaluation of CO2 injection wells. Further efforts should focus on the following aspects: material selection systems for the complex conditions during offshore CO2 pipeline transportation, full-chain intelligent management and digital twin technologies for CO2 pipelines, key technologies regarding the whole life-time operation of subsea CO2 pipelines, and evaluation and assurance techniques for the transferred transportation pipelines.

The subjects discussed include suitable media for broth and agar MIC assays, storage and preparation of antimicrobial agents, standardisation of mycoplasma inocula for MIC tests, validation of equipment, incubation conditions, and determination of MIC end points. A standard medium for all veterinary mycoplasma MIC tests cannot currently be recommended, owing to the diversity of nutritional requirements of different mycoplasma species. Instead mycoplasma broths or agars giving optimal growth of specific mycoplasmas or ureaplasmas are recommended, as suboptimal growth may lead to falsely low MIC results. The importance of using standardised mycoplasma inocula, for assays using either solid or liquid media is stressed. The growth phase may be less important as lag phase and logarithmic phase cultures of Mycoplasma gallisepticum, M. synoviae, M. bovis and M. hyopneumoniae have given very similar results in liquid MIC assays. The liquid method of Tanner and Wu and the agar method described by Hannan et al. are compared and described in detail.

Accordingly, number of EOR pilots and projects have grown substantially over recent years to ensure derisking the full field expansion uncertainties and challenges, especially in such carbonate reservoirs with harsh conditions of temperature (~ 250 F) and salinity (~ 200,000 ppm). Detailed screening study and performance review assessment have been conducted, in which gas and chemical based EOR technologies were identified for targeted reservoirs. The candidate reservoirs have a long history of EOR projects focusing on miscible hydrocarbon gas (HC) as early as 1996, which has supported oil production meeting forecast demand. On the other hand, as part of environmental driven strategy for CCUS and EOR applications, CO2 technology has been successfully progressing as EOR business case full-integrated cycle from pilot to field expansion during 2009-2016. In 2016, Al Reyadah has been launched as a unique commercial- scale CCUS facility in the region, that captures 800,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from Emirate Steel Industries and injects it into oilfields to boost crude recovery. Furthermore, novel EOR technologies have been screened and identified with significant potential added value, that includes SIMGAP, SIWAP, Surfactant, Polymer and others, which are currently under modeling and design phase for implementation within upcoming few years to boost recovery factor towards 70% aspiration. Development and piloting of latest technologies are among the main enablers to ensure fit-for purpose applications, proper planning and optimum design for ultimately maximum revenue economically. This paper presents a big-picture overview of EOR technologies with the focus on some cases, challenges and opportunities for super giant carbonate reservoirs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2118/196693-ms","authors":["Aaesha Al-Keebali","Maged Mabrook Yaslam","Ahmed Bin Amro","Shehadeh Masalmaeh"],"tags":["Enhanced oil recovery","Petroleum engineering","Environmental science","Engineering","Waste management"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-09-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2118/196693-ms","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4408338287","name":"Sex Differences in Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Scoping Review Across the Care Continuum","source":"openalex","abstract":"Introduction: Optimal diagnosis and management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is essential to improve clinical outcomes and prognosis.

These fields are important to a wide range of applications requiring precise and accurate measurements of electromagnetic radiation and, in particular, the amount of radiant energy (light) that is perceived by the human eye. The candela has been one of the base units since the inception of the International System of Units (SI) and is the only base unit that quantifies a fundamental biological process—human vision. This photobiological process spans an enormous dynamic range of light levels from a few-photon interaction involved in triggering the vision mechanism to a level of more than 1015 photons per second that is accommodated by the visual response under bright daylight conditions. This position paper, prepared by members of the Task Group on the SI of the Consultative Committee for Photometry and Radiometry Strategic Planning Working Group (CCPR WG-SP), reviews the evolution of these fields of optical radiation measurements and their consequent impact on definitions and realization of the candela. Over the past several decades, there have been significant developments in sources, detectors, measuring instruments and techniques, that have improved the measurement of photometric and radiometric quantities for classical applications in lighting design, manufacturing and quality control processes involving optical sources, detectors and materials. These improved realizations largely underpin the present (1979) definition of the candela. There is no consensus on whether this radiant-based definition fully satisfies the current and projected needs of the optical radiation community. There is also no consensus on whether a reformulation of the definition of the candela in terms of photon flux will be applicable to the lighting community. However, there have been significant recent advances in radiometry in the development of single-photon sources and single-photon detectors and the growth of associated technologies, such as quantum computing and quantum cryptography. The international acceptance of these new quantum-based technologies requires improved traceability and reliability of measurements at the level of a few photons. This review of the evolution of the candela and the impact of its possible reformulation might lead, in the future, to a reformulation in terms of quantum units (photons). This discussion is timely since redefinitions of four of the other SI base units are being considered now in terms of fundamental constants to provide a more universally realizable quantum-based SI system. This paper also introduces for the first time a fundamental constant for photometry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/0026-1394/47/5/r01","authors":["Joanne C. Zwinkels","Erkki Ikonen","Nigel Fox","G.

Providing smoking cessation advice, counseling, or medication is now a quality-of-care measure for US hospitals. We assessed the effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions initiated during a hospital stay. METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Review Group's register for randomized and quasirandomized controlled trials of smoking cessation interventions (behavioral counseling and/or pharmacotherapy) that began during hospitalization and had a minimum of 6 months of follow-up. Two authors independently extracted data from each article, with disagreements resolved by consensus. RESULTS: Thirty-three trials met inclusion criteria. Smoking counseling that began during hospitalization and included supportive contacts for more than 1 month after discharge increased smoking cessation rates at 6 to 12 months (pooled odds ratio [OR], 1.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44-1.90). No benefit was found for interventions with less postdischarge contact. Counseling was effective when offered to all hospitalized smokers and to the subset admitted for cardiovascular disease. Adding nicotine replacement therapy to counseling produced a trend toward efficacy over counseling alone (OR, 1.47; 95% CI, 0.92-2.35). One study added bupropion hydrochloride to counseling, which had a nonsignificant result (OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 0.79-3.06). CONCLUSIONS: Offering smoking cessation counseling to all hospitalized smokers is effective as long as supportive contacts continue for more than 1 month after discharge. Adding nicotine replacement therapy to counseling may further increase smoking cessation rates and should be offered when clinically indicated, especially to hospitalized smokers with nicotine withdrawal symptoms.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1001/archinte.168.18.1950","authors":["Nancy A.

The oil and gas sector, traditionally dependent on fossil fuels, is at the forefront of this energy transition. This review explores the evolving business models that facilitate the industry's transition to a low-carbon economy, focusing on strategies for achieving sustainability while maintaining profitability. Key approaches include diversifying energy portfolios by investing in renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydrogen, as well as enhancing operational efficiency through digital technologies like artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). The transition is also marked by an increased focus on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, which mitigate the environmental impact of traditional oil and gas operations. Business models are being reshaped to incorporate circular economy principles, where waste and emissions are minimized through innovation and resource optimization. Furthermore, partnerships between oil and gas companies and renewable energy firms are emerging as a critical pathway for mutual growth and sustainability. This energy transition also involves rethinking the workforce and reskilling employees for emerging sectors, emphasizing the need for adaptability in business models. Regulatory frameworks play a pivotal role in shaping these models, as policies increasingly favor green investments and low-carbon initiatives. As oil and gas companies diversify their portfolios, they are creating new revenue streams that align with global decarbonization goals while ensuring financial resilience. This study highlights how these innovative business models are setting the foundation for a sustainable future in the oil and gas sector, ensuring that the industry remains relevant in a rapidly changing energy ecosystem.

Critical care ultrasound has emerged as a reliable and reproducible tool in diagnosing and classifying shock. This comprehensive review proposes an ultrasound-based protocol for the hemodynamic assessment of shock to guide its management in the ICU. The protocol classifies shock as either low or high cardiac index and differentiates obstructive, hypovolemic, cardiogenic, and distributive etiologies. In distributive shock, the protocol proposes a hemodynamic-based approach that considers the presence of dynamic obstruction, fluid responsiveness, fluid tolerance, and ventriculo-arterial coupling. The protocol gives value to quantitative measures based on critical care ultrasound to guide hemodynamic management. Using critical care ultrasound for a comprehensive hemodynamic assessment can help clinicians diagnose the etiology of shock and define the appropriate treatment while monitoring the response. The protocol's use in the ICU can facilitate prompt recognition, diagnosis, and management of shock, ultimately improving patient outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm13185344","authors":["Camilo Pérez","Diana Diaz-Caicedo","D.

Recovery can occur spontaneously within hours or weeks. Studies have shown that it mainly affects older people. In particular, there is a higher prevalence in postmenopausal women. Physical and emotional stress factors are widely discussed and generally recognized triggers. In addition, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the associated glucocorticoid-dependent negative feedback play an important role in the resulting immune response. This review aims to highlight the unstudied aspects of the trigger factors of TTS. The focus is on emotional stress/chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), which is influenced by estrogen concentration and noradrenaline, for example, and can lead to changes in the behavioral, hormonal, and autonomic systems. Age- and gender-specific aspects, as well as psychological effects, must also be considered. We hypothesize that this leads to a stronger corticosteroid response and altered feedback of the HPA axis. This may trigger proinflammatory markers and thus immunosuppression, inflammaging, and sympathetic overactivation, which contributes significantly to the development of TTS. The aim is to highlight the importance of CUMS and psychological triggers as risk factors and to make an exploratory proposal based on the new knowledge. Based on the imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is presented as a possible new therapeutic approach.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/biom14020167","authors":["N.

The \"gold standard test\" for DVT diagnosis is venography; however, various point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) protocols have been suggested for DVT evaluation in the emergency department. AIMS: This review evaluated the role of different POCUS protocols in diagnosing DVT in the emergency department. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted based of PRISMA guideline and registered on PROSEPRO (CRD42023398871). An electronic database search in Embase, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google scholar and a manual search were performed to identify eligible studies till February 2023. Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool (QUADAS-2) was used to assess the risk of bias in included studies. Quantitative analysis was carried out using STATA 16 and Review Manager software (RevMan 5.4.1). Sensitivity, specificity of POCUS protocols for DVT diagnosis compared to reference standard test was calculated. RESULTS: Heterogeneity was identified between 26 included studies for review. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV for the 2-point POCUS protocol were 92.32% (95% CI: 87.58-97.06), 96.86% (95% CI: 95.09-98.64), 88.41% (95% CI: 82.24-94.58) and 97.25% (95% CI: 95.51-98.99), respectively. Similarly, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV for 3-point POCUS were 89.15% (95% CI: 83.24-95.07), 92.71% (95% CI: 89.59-95.83), 81.27% (95% CI: 73.79-88.75), and 95.47% (95% CI: 92.93-98). The data pooled for complete compression ultrasound, and whole-leg duplex ultrasound also resulted in a sensitivity and specificity of 100% (95% CI: 98.21-100) and 97.05% (95% CI: 92.25-100), respectively. On the other hand, the time from triage to DVT diagnosis was significantly shorter for emergency physician-performed POCUS than diagnostic tests performed by radiologists. CONCLUSION: The diagnostic performance of POCUS protocols performed by emergency physicians was excellent. Combined with the significant reduction in time to diagnosis. POCUS can be used as the first-line imaging tool for DVT diagnosis in the emergency department. We also recommended that attending emergency physicians with POCUS training are present during DVT diagnosis to improve diagnostic performance even though high diagnostic performance is observed even with the minimum training.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13089-024-00378-1","authors":["Hany A Zaki","Bilal Albaroudi","Eman E.

This study reviews blue and green hydrogen, analysing their production technologies, environmental impacts, economic viability and global deployment trends. Blue hydrogen, derived from natural gas, coal or biomass with carbon capture, utilisation and storage, offers a transitional pathway by reducing emissions relative to unabated fossil routes, but its benefits depend on high CO2 capture efficiencies and strict methane leakage control. Green hydrogen, produced via renewable-powered electrolysis and advanced thermochemical, photochemical and photoelectrochemical methods, represents the most sustainable long-term solution, though it is currently limited by cost and scale. This comparative assessment shows that green hydrogen’s production emissions, in the range of 0.67 kgCO-eq/kgH to 1.74 kgCO2-eq/kgH2, are substantially lower than those of blue hydrogen, in the range of 1.21 kgCO2-eq/kgH2 to 4.56 kgCO2-eq/kgH2, reinforcing its alignment with climate neutrality goals. Global production remains below 1% from low-emission sources, yet momentum is growing, with renewable-rich regions investing in large-scale electrolysers. A long short-term memory forecast suggests that blue hydrogen will dominate in the short term, but green hydrogen will surpass it around 2042. Together, both pathways are essential, blue hydrogen as a bridging option and green hydrogen as the foundation of a sustainable hydrogen economy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/fuels6040088","authors":["Muhammad Ammar","Babatunde Oyeleke Oyewale","Ahmed Elseragy","Ibrahim M.

The prevalence of dyslipidemia and conventional risk factors profile at the time of admission in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is not well described in our context. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and conventional risk factors profiles of patients with ACS in a tertiary care center of Bangladesh. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 96 admitted patients of ACS [30 cases of Unstable Angina, 25 cases of Non ST segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and 41 cases of ST segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction] from the Department of Cardiology, Abdul Malek Ukil Medical College Hospital, Noakhali, Bangladesh from January 2019 to June 2019. Fasting serum lipid profile was obtained within 24 hours of hospitalization and demographic and other cardiovascular risk factors were documented. Results: The mean age of the subjects were 57.7±14.4 years with majority (71.9%) being male. The most frequent reported risk factor was smoking, present in 55.2% of patients, followed by hypertension (47.9%), diabetes (37.5%), dyslipidemia (27.1%) and family history of CAD (15.6%). Based on Body Mass index 50% patients were obese (≥25kg/m2) and 69.8% had central obesity based on waist circumference. The lipid profile analysis revealed that 99% of patients had some type of dyslipidemia, and the most frequent was high level of triglyceride and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (68.8% of cases in each). Conclusion: Dyslipidemia is a significant risk factor in patients with ACS and high TG and low HDL-C were more prevalent. Careful attention to its management may help to reduce further events.

Recently, its effectiveness as a predictive marker for acute kidney injury (AKI) in various clinical settings has gained attention. This study aims to assess the predictive accuracy of the PNI for AKI in critically ill populations through systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted using the databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure up to August 2023. The included trials reported the PNI assessment in adult population with critical illness and its predictive capacity for AKI. Data on study characteristics, subgroup covariates, and diagnostic performance of PNI, including sensitivity, specificity, and event rates, were extracted. A diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis was performed. Subgroup analyses and meta-regression were utilized to investigate the sources of heterogeneity. The GRADE framework evaluated the confidence in the meta-analysis's evidence. RESULTS: The analysis encompassed 16 studies with 17 separate cohorts, totaling 21,239 patients. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of PNI for AKI prediction were 0.67 (95% CI 0.58-0.74) and 0.74 (95% CI 0.67-0.80), respectively. The pooled positive likelihood ratio was 2.49 (95% CI 1.99-3.11; low certainty), and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.46 (95% CI 0.37-0.56; low certainty). The pooled diagnostic odds ratio was 5.54 (95% CI 3.80-8.07), with an area under curve of summary receiver operating characteristics of 0.76. Subgroup analysis showed that PNI's sensitivity was higher in medical populations than in surgical populations (0.72 vs. 0.55; p < 0.05) and in studies excluding patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) than in those including them (0.75 vs. 0.56; p < 0.01). Overall, diagnostic performance was superior in the non-chronic kidney disease group. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that PNI has practical accuracy for predicting the development of AKI in critically ill populations, with superior diagnostic performance observed in medical and non-CKD populations. However, the diagnostic efficacy of the PNI has significant heterogeneity with different cutoff value, indicating the need for further research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40560-024-00729-z","authors":["Jia‐Jin Chen","Tao Han Lee","Pei‐Chun Lai","Chih‐Hsiang Chang","Che‐Hsiung Wu","Yen‐Ta Huang"],"tags":["Medicine","Meta-analysis","Critical illness","Acute kidney injury","Intensive care medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40560-024-00729-z","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W2945519002","name":"Circumpolar Conservation Union (CCU) 2018 Observer Review report","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://openalex.org/W2945519002","authors":["Whit Sheard"],"tags":["Circumpolar star","Geography","Oceanography","Geology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-05-31","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4368351441","name":"Review of clonal hematopoiesis, subtypes and its role in neoplasia and different morbidities","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.leukres.2023.107307","authors":["Ismail Elbaz Younes","Lee B Syler","Amira Hamed"],"tags":["Monocytosis","Cytopenia","Hematologic malignancy","Clinical significance","Somatic evolution in cancer"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-05-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.leukres.2023.107307","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4404494708","name":"Review of Foam with Novel CO2-Soluble Surfactants for Improved Mobility Control in Tight Oil Reservoirs","source":"openalex","abstract":"CO2-soluble surfactant foam systems have gained significant attention for their potential to enhance oil recovery, particularly in tight oil reservoirs where conventional water-soluble surfactants face challenges such as poor injectability and high reservoir sensitivity. This review provides a comprehensive explanation of the basic theory of CO2-soluble surfactant foam, its mechanism in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and the classification and application of various CO2-soluble surfactants. The application of these surfactants in tight oil reservoirs, where low permeability and high water sensitivity limit traditional methods, is highlighted as a promising solution to improve CO2 mobility control and increase oil recovery. The mechanism of enhanced oil recovery by CO2-soluble surfactant foam involves the effective reduction of CO2 fluidity, the decrease in oil–gas flow ratio, and the stabilization of the displacement front. Foam plays a vital role in mitigating the issues of channeling and gravity separation often caused by simple CO2 injection. The reduction in gas fluidity can be attributed to the increase in apparent viscosity and trapped gas fraction. Future research should prioritize the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly CO2-soluble surfactants. It is essential to further explore the advantages and challenges associated with their practical applications in order to maximize their potential impact.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules29225411","authors":["Fajun Zhao","Mingze Sun","Yong Liu","Wenjing Sun","Qinyuan Guo","Zian Yang","Changjiang Zhang","Meng Li"],"tags":["Petroleum engineering","Chemistry","Chemical engineering","Geology","Engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules29225411","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W3044616939","name":"The Role of Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals in the CO2 Methanation Reaction and the Combined Capture and Methanation of CO2","source":"openalex","abstract":"CO2 methanation has great potential for the better utilization of existing carbon resources via the transformation of spent carbon (CO2) to synthetic natural gas (CH4). Alkali and alkaline earth metals can serve both as promoters for methanation catalysts and as adsorbent phases upon the combined capture and methanation of CO2. Their promotion effect during methanation of carbon dioxide mainly relies on their ability to generate new basic sites on the surface of metal oxide supports that favour CO2 chemisorption and activation. However, suppression of methanation activity can also occur under certain conditions. Regarding the combined CO2 capture and methanation process, the development of novel dual-function materials (DFMs) that incorporate both adsorption and methanation functions has opened a new pathway towards the utilization of carbon dioxide emitted from point sources. The sorption and catalytically active phases on these types of materials are crucial parameters influencing their performance and stability and thus, great efforts have been undertaken for their optimization.

RECENT FINDINGS: Although the use of ultrasound to assess the anatomy of the various abdominal organs is well established within radiology and critical care, its use as part of functional and physiological assessment is still evolving. Recent developments have extended the use of ultrasound beyond standard B-mode/2D imaging techniques to incorporate more functional and haemodynamic assessment. These include the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), elastography, and colour Doppler techniques. SUMMARY: Whilst Doppler techniques are reasonably well established within critical care ultrasound (CCUS), especially in echocardiography, CEUS and elastography are less well known. CEUS utilizes a purely intravascular contrast agent whilst elastography measures the degree of deformation or stiffness in various organs. Whilst their use individually may be limited; they may play a role in a multiparametric assessment. Mirroring the overall trends in critical care ultrasound development, abdominal ultrasound assessment is best integrated in a holistic approach and adapted to the individual patient.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mcc.0000000000000815","authors":["Adrian Wong","Gibran Yusuf","Manu L.

As digital technologies become ubiquitous, the need for additional energy to power our ever-increasing number of digital devices and services must also keep pace. Moreover, despite their public veneer as progressives, digital tech companies are collaborating with fossil fuel companies to render oil and gas extraction more profitable and with greater speed, fuelling climate breakdown.

Pathogens can be transmitted directly from frequent hand-touch surfaces close to patients or indirectly by staff and visitors. HAI risk depends on exposure, extent of contamination, infectious dose (ID), virulence, hygiene practices, and patient vulnerability. This review attempts to close a gap in previous reviews on persistence/tenacity by only including articles ( n = 171) providing quantitative data on re-cultivable pathogens from fomites for a better translation into clinical settings. We have therefore introduced the new term “replication capacity” (RC). The RC is affected by the degree of contamination, surface material, temperature, relative humidity, protein load, organic soil, UV-light (sunlight) exposure, and pH value. In general, investigations into surface RC are mainly performed in vitro using reference strains with high inocula. In vitro data from studies on 14 Gram-positive, 26 Gram-negative bacteria, 18 fungi, 4 protozoa, and 37 viruses. It should be regarded as a worst-case scenario indicating the upper bounds of risks when using such data for clinical decision-making. Information on RC after surface contamination could be seen as an opportunity to choose the most appropriate infection prevention and control (IPC) strategies. To help with decision-making, pathogens characterized by an increased nosocomial risk for transmission from inanimate surfaces (“fomite-borne”) are presented and discussed in this systematic review. Thus, the review offers a theoretical basis to support local risk assessments and IPC recommendations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1128/cmr.00186-23","authors":["Axel Krämer","Franziska Lexow","Anna Bludau","Antonia Milena Köster","Martin Misailovski","Ulrike Seifert","Maren Eggers","William A.

This can be done by assessing all processes in the material supply chain, thereby identifying and quantifying the respective social impacts to inform decision makers. Because raw materials can come from different countries, some production processes may use recyclable or reusable materials handled by waste pickers in order to return them to the production chain. Since these waste pickers earn their living from collecting and selling these materials, the social impacts of the final product integrate the social evaluation results of the processes involving these materials. Thus, this article aims to survey the characteristics of current S-LCA models applied to Municipal Solid Waste Management Systems (MSWMS) that include waste pickers and their organizations, in order to identify research opportunities to expand the understanding and application of this tool.

Analyzing these articles has revealed possible paths to improve the choice of elements for S-LCA models applied to MSWMS that involve waste pickers or equivalents.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su15021717","authors":["Flávio de Freitas Mattos","Jo�ão Luiz Calmon"],"tags":["Life-cycle assessment","Municipal solid waste","Product (mathematics)","Order (exchange)","Supply chain"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-01-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/su15021717","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W4411044268","name":"Generation expansion planning toward Net Zero target considering co-firing green fuel, CCUS installation and early decommissioning in thermal power plants: A case study of Vietnam","source":"openalex","abstract":"Vietnam is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, with the power sector being central to this transition. This study investigated optimal generation expansion pathways using a unified dataset aligned with Power Development Plan Ⅷ (PDP Ⅷ). It compared two planning approaches with 3 scenarios: (1) constraining CO2 emissions directly (Scenario S3), and (2) predefining thermal plant co-firing's timeline and ratios (Scenarios S1 and S2). S1 adheres closely to PDP Ⅷ's planned thermal commitments and solar limits; S2 offers flexibility by committing only plants under construction and allowing higher solar potential. Results indicate that Scenario S3 yields the lowest total system cost while meeting the Net Zero target. The optimal strategy in S3 involves early decommissioning of thermal plants and prioritizing renewable energy and storage expansion over thermal fuel conversion. Notably, nuclear power and Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage technology installation were not included in this optimal pathway. By 2050 under S3, renewables will contribute to 95% of energy generation, with thermal power dropping to 5%. CO2 emissions peak in 2030 in all scenarios, earlier than defined by PDP Ⅷ. The study highlights the critical need for energy storage, flexible generation, and significant high-voltage direct current transmission capacity from South Central to North Vietnam after 2030. Full utilization of ground-mounted solar potential suggests a need for expanded land allocation if available. These findings emphasize prioritizing renewable energy, storage, and transmission investment for an efficient Net Zero transition.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3934/energy.2025021","authors":["Van Duong Nguyen","Duy Ha","Thi Hoai Thu Nguyen","Duc Huy Nguyen"],"tags":["Nuclear decommissioning","Environmental science","Zero emission","Waste management","Nuclear engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3934/energy.2025021","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W2737098706","name":"Determinants for swine mycoplasmal pneumonia reproduction under experimental conditions: A systematic review and recursive partitioning analysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"One of the main Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) swine experimental model objectives is to reproduce mycoplasmal pneumonia (MP). Unfortunately, experimental validated protocols to maximize the chance to successfully achieve lung lesions induced by M. hyopneumoniae are not available at the moment. Thus, the objective of this work was to identify those factors that might have a major influence on the effective development of MP, measured as macroscopic lung lesions, under experimental conditions. Data from 85 studies describing M. hyopneumoniae inoculation experiments were compiled by means of a systematic review and analyzed thereafter. Several variables were considered in the analyses such as the number of pigs in the experiment, serological status against M. hyopneumoniae, source of the animals, age at inoculation, type of inoculum, strain of M. hyopneumoniae, route, dose and times of inoculation, study duration and co-infection with other swine pathogens. Descriptive statistics were used to depict M. hyopneumoniae experimental model main characteristics whereas a recursive partitioning approach, using regression trees, assessed the importance of the abovementioned experimental variables as MP triggering factors. A strong link between the time period between challenge and necropsies and lung lesion severity was observed. Results indicated that the most important factors to explain the observed lung lesion score variability were: (1) study duration, (2) M. hyopneumoniae strain, (3) age at inoculation, (4) co-infection with other swine pathogens and (5) animal source. All other studied variables were not relevant to explain the variability on M. hyopneumoniae lung lesions.

BACKGROUND: A sizeable research literature focusing on research utilization in nursing has developed over the past 20 years. However, this literature is characterized by a number of weaknesses: self-reported utilization behaviour; poor response rates and small, nonrandom sampling strategies. DESIGN: Cross-case analysis involving anonymised qualitative interviews, observation, documentary audit and Q methodological modelling of shared subjectivities amongst nurses. The case sites were three large acute hospitals in the north of England. One hundred and eight nurses were interviewed, 61 of whom were also observed for a total of 180 h, and 122 nurses were involved in the Q modelling exercise (response rate of 64%). RESULTS: Four perspectives were isolated that encompassed the characteristics associated with barriers to research use. These related to the individual, organization, nature of research information itself and environment. Nurses clustered around four main perspectives on the barriers to research use: (1) Problems in interpreting and using research products, which were seen as too complex, 'academic' and overly statistical; (2) Nurses who felt confident with research-based information perceived a lack of organizational support as a significant block; (3) Many nurses felt that researchers and research products lack clinical credibility and that they fail to offer the desired level of clinical direction; (4) Some nurses lacked the skills and, to a lesser degree, the motivation to use research themselves. These individuals liked research messages passed on to them by a third party and sought to foster others' involvement in research-based practice, rather than becoming directly involved themselves. CONCLUSIONS: Rejection of research knowledge is not a barrier to its application. Rather, the presentation and management of research knowledge in the workplace represent significant challenges for clinicians, policy-makers and the research community.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2648.2002.02241.x","authors":["Dorothy McCaughan","Carl Thompson","Nicky Cullum","T.

We then quantify the energy and emissions reduction potential of the most significant abatement options, as well as their technology readiness level (TRL). We find that energy-intensive industries have a range of decarbonization technologies available with medium to high TRLs, and mature options also exist for decarbonizing low-temperature heat across a wide range of industrial sectors. However, electrification and novel process change options to reduce emissions from high-temperature and sector-specific processes have much lower TRLs in comparison. We conclude by highlighting important barriers to the deployment of industrial decarbonization options and identifying future research, development, and demonstration needs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2024.01.007","authors":["Ahmed Gailani","Sam Cooper","Stephen Allen","Andrew Pimm","Peter Taylor","Robert Gross"],"tags":["Environmental science","Waste management","Business","Engineering","Forensic engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-31","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2024.01.007","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400380718","name":"Stress path and its application in energy geology: A review","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoen.2024.213095","authors":["Bingchang Liu","Shang Xu","Fang Hao","Dong Yang","Kang Wen","Yufan Wang"],"tags":["Path (computing)","Geology","Energy (signal processing)","Stress (linguistics)","Engineering physics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoen.2024.213095","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W4281687244","name":"Mortality Prediction in Cardiac Intensive Care Unit Patients: A Systematic Review of Existing and Artificial Intelligence Augmented Approaches","source":"openalex","abstract":"The medical complexity and high acuity of patients in the cardiac intensive care unit make for a unique patient population with high morbidity and mortality.

Management strategies, including greater awareness for efficient milking and hygienic measures, have limited the spread of Gram-positive bacteria and resulted in a significant decrease of proportion of S. aureus isolates and subclinical mastitis worldwide. Other organisms such as coliform subspecies and Streptococcus uberis, both environmental bacteria that cause clinical mastitis, have received less attention. Escherichia coli causes inflammation of the mammary gland in dairy cows around parturition and during early lactation with striking local and sometimes severe systemic clinical symptoms. This disease affects many high producing cows in dairy herds and may cause several cases of death per year in the most severe cases. It is well known that bacterial, cow and environmental factors are interdependent and influence mastitis susceptibility. Many studies, executed during the last decade, indicate that the severity of E. coli mastitis is mainly determined by cow factors rather than by E. coli pathogenicity. During E. coli mastitis, the host defense status is a cardinal factor determining the outcome of the disease. Today, we know that the neutrophil is a key factor in the cows' defense against intramammary infection with E. coli. Effective elimination of the pathogen by neutrophils is important for the resolution of infection and the outcome of E. coli mastitis. This review is a compilation of some major findings over the last 15 years concerning mainly host factors that modulate and influence neutrophil function and the mammary inflammatory reaction. The individual chapters address: virulence factors of E. coli strains, how neutrophils kill E. coli, connection between endotoxins, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and nitric oxide, severity classification of E. coli mastitis, lifespan of neutrophils, host factors that influence severity, tissue damage and production loss.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1051/vetres:2003023","authors":["Christian Burvenich","Val�rie Van Merris","Jalil Mehrzad","Araceli Diez‐Fraile","Luc Duchateau"],"tags":["Mastitis","Streptococcus uberis","Milking","Biology","Staphylococcus aureus"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2003-09-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1051/vetres:2003023","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W4283796093","name":"Perceptions of Patient Safety Culture Dimensions among Hospital Nurses: A Systematic Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background Patient safety culture, an important aspect in the field of patient safety, plays an important role in the promotion of healthcare quality. Improved patient safety culture decreases patient readmission rates, lengths of hospital stay, and patient safety issues. Patient safety culture includes a set of dimensions. This review focuses on the differing perceptions of these dimensions among healthcare providers in hospitals. Aims This study aimed to identify studies examining healthcare providers' perceptions of patient safety culture in hospitals and to summarize the data from these studies. Method Electronic database searching was based on the research question. Two electronic databases were used: CINHAL and Scopus. The search was limited to the period 2005-2012, and studies examining healthcare providers' perceptions of patient safety culture were identified. Key terms were used to search the articles that were selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Articles examining healthcare providers' perceptions of patient safety culture in hospitals without comparison between nurses and other healthcare professionals were selected. Results Eight articles were reviewed. Several questionnaires were used to assess healthcare providers' perceptions of patient safety culture in these articles. Our review indicated differences in healthcare providers' perceptions. In two articles, participants reported a high positive response to teamwork. In addition, participants in the other two articles reported a high positive response to job satisfaction. Conclusion The results of the current review reveal healthcare providers' perceptions of patient safety culture. The results highlight that careful recognition and committed work on various scales/dimensions of patient safety culture can improve healthcare quality and consequently decrease patient safety issues associated with nursing care. Our findings also encourage hospital management and decision-makers to focus on and establish improvements in areas that will positively affect the quality of healthcare.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44229-022-00012-z","authors":["Sultan Almutairi","Abdulrahman Aljohani","Mansour Awad","Chandni Saha","Hamed Alhobaishi","Ahmad Almutairi","Abbas Al Mutair"],"tags":["Patient safety","Teamwork","Safety culture","Health care","Nursing"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-07-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44229-022-00012-z","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W3206191051","name":"Global greenhouse gas emissions from residential and commercial building materials and mitigation strategies to 2060","source":"openalex","abstract":"Building stock growth around the world drives extensive material consumption and environmental impacts.

The objective of this study was to describe the potential impact of a medication reconciliation process to identify and rectify medication errors at the time of hospital admission and discharge. METHODS: Sixty randomly selected patients were prospectively enrolled at the time of admission to a Canadian community hospital. At admission, patients' medication orders were compared with pre-admission medication use based on medication vials and interviews with patients, caregivers, and/or outpatient healthcare providers. At discharge, pre-admission and in-patient medications were compared with discharge orders and written instructions. All variances were discussed with the prescribing physician and classified as intended or unintended; unintended variances were considered to be medication errors. An internist classified the clinical importance of each unintended variance. RESULTS: Overall, 60% (95% CI 48 to 72) of patients had at least one unintended variance and 18% (95% CI 9 to 28) had at least one clinically important unintended variance. None of the variances had been detected by usual clinical practice before reconciliation was conducted. Of the 20 clinically important variances, 75% (95% CI 56 to 94) were intercepted by medication reconciliation before patients were harmed. DISCUSSION: Unintended medication variances at the time of hospital admission and discharge are common and clinically important. The medication reconciliation process identified and addressed most of these unintended variances before harm occurred. In this small study, medication reconciliation was a useful method for identifying and rectifying medication errors at times of transition.

Notwithstanding, the myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with isolated del(5q) remains so far the only MDS subtype defined by a genetic abnormality. Approximately half of MDS patients carry somatic mutations in spliceosome genes, with SF3B1 being the most commonly mutated one. SF3B1 mutation identifies a condition characterized by ring sideroblasts (RS), ineffective erythropoiesis, and indolent clinical course. A large body of evidence supports recognition of SF3B1-mutant MDS as a distinct nosologic entity. To further validate this notion, we interrogated the data set of the International Working Group for the Prognosis of MDS (IWG-PM). Based on the findings of our analyses, we propose the following diagnostic criteria for SF3B1-mutant MDS: (1) cytopenia as defined by standard hematologic values, (2) somatic SF3B1 mutation, (3) morphologic dysplasia (with or without RS), and (4) bone marrow blasts <5% and peripheral blood blasts <1%. Selected concomitant genetic lesions represent exclusion criteria for the proposed entity. In patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance, SF3B1 mutation is almost invariably associated with subsequent development of overt MDS with RS, suggesting that this genetic lesion might provide presumptive evidence of MDS in the setting of persistent unexplained cytopenia. Diagnosis of SF3B1-mutant MDS has considerable clinical implications in terms of risk stratification and therapeutic decision making. In fact, this condition has a relatively good prognosis and may respond to luspatercept with abolishment of the transfusion requirement.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1182/blood.2020004850","authors":["Luca Malcovati","Kristen E.

Moreover, L. plantarum No. 122, L. casei No. 210, Lactobacillus curvatus No. 51, L. paracasei No. 244, and L. coryniformins No. 71 showed growth inhibition properties against all the tested fifteen pathogenic strains. Finally, all LAB isolates showed antifungal activities against Aspergillus nidulans, Penicillium funiculosum, and Fusarium poae. These results unveiled the exceptionality of spontaneous sourdough as a source of LAB with effective potential to be considered in the design of novel commercial microbial single/mixed starter cultures, intended for application in a wide range of agri-food industries, where the antimicrobial and antifungal properties are often sought and necessary. In addition, metabolites therefrom may also be considered as important functional and bioactive compounds with high potential to be employed in food and feed, as well as cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms8010064","authors":["Elena Bartkienė","Vita Lėlė","Modestas Ružauskas","Konrad J.

The quest for novel materials employed in solar cells has resulted in incorporating these elements into the composition of kesterite as substitutes or modifiers (dopants) for zinc. This integration has induced notable repercussions on the structural, optoelectronics and morphological properties, which are reviewed. The first section of this paper offers a comprehensive review of the general characteristics of kesterite minerals. These crucial materials exhibit a high absorption coefficient (104 cm–1) and an optical band gap of 1.0–1.8 eV. Moreover, they are free of critical raw materials, non-toxic and sustainable. The second section depicts the substitution or modification of zinc by magnesium in kesterite. Additionally, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the quaternary and pentanary systems Cu2MgSn(S,Se)4 and Cu2Zn1–xMgxSnS4, highlighting their advantages and drawbacks. In the last section, a review of the quaternary or pentanary systems is conducted, namely Cu2ZnxFe1–xSnS4 and Cu2ZnxNi1–xSnS4, along with their effects on optoelectronic properties. In conclusion, various methods for obtaining modified or substituted kesterite materials using magnesium, iron and nickel have demonstrated sustainability, scalability for industrial production and potential candidacy as substitutes for conventional PV materials. The prospects for pentanary materials (Cu2Zn1‑xMgxSnS4, Cu2Zn1‑xFexSnS4 and Cu2Zn1‑xNixSnS4) are to overcome the efficiency record of kesterite reported in 2014, which was 12.6 % for Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4, and to enhance its optoelectronic properties through synthesis conditions that comply with the principles of green chemistry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ce/zkad093","authors":["Nelson Mauricio Espinel Pérez","Enrique Vera López","Jairo A.

Approaches such as direct air capture (DAC), carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), and the CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) have been widely investigated. Among these, CO₂RR stands out as a sustainable and promising pathway, particularly when coupled with renewable energy, enabling the conversion of CO₂ into value-added fuels and chemicals through diverse catalytic mechanisms. Conducting polymers have emerged as highly promising catalysts for CO₂RR due to their tunable optoelectronic properties, electrical conductivity, redox activity, and biocompatibility. When integrated with metals, metal oxides, chalcogenides, carbon materials, or metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), conducting polymers can significantly enhance catalyst performance by improving CO₂ adsorption and chemisorption, charge carrier mobility, photosensitization, photocurrent generation, and suppression of electron–hole recombination. Additional advantages, such as low density, mechanical flexibility, and cost-effective fabrication, further underscore their potential as scalable and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional inorganic catalysts. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of conducting polymer characteristics, and their integration into diverse CO₂RR pathways, including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, and bioelectrocatalysis. Mechanistic insights into the specific roles of conducting polymers in these processes are highlighted, along with a discussion of performance evaluation parameters and recent advances in conducting polymer-based composites and hybrids.

MDS occurs more frequently in older males and in individuals with prior exposure to cytotoxic therapy. DIAGNOSIS: Diagnosis of MDS is based on morphological evidence of dysplasia upon visual examination of a bone marrow aspirate and biopsy. Information obtained from additional studies such as karyotype, flow cytometry, and molecular genetics is usually complementary and may help refine diagnosis. A new WHO classification of MDS was proposed in 2022. Under this classification, MDS is now termed myelodysplastic neoplasms. RISK-STRATIFICATION: Prognosis of patients with MDS can be calculated using a number of scoring systems. All these scoring systems include analysis of peripheral cytopenias, percentage of blasts in the bone marrow, and cytogenetic characteristics. The most commonly accepted system is the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R). Recently, genomic data has been incorporated resulting in the new IPSS-M classification. RISK-ADAPTED THERAPY: Therapy is selected based on risk, transfusion needs, percent of bone marrow blasts, cytogenetic and mutational profiles, comorbidities, potential for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT), and prior exposure to hypomethylating agents (HMA). Goals of therapy are different in lower risk patients than in higher risk and in those with HMA failure. In lower risk, the goal is to decrease transfusion needs and transformation to higher risk disease or AML, as well as to improve survival. In higher risk, the goal is to prolong survival. In 2020, two agents were approved in the US for patients with MDS: luspatercept and oral decitabine/cedazuridine. In addition, currently other available therapies include growth factors, lenalidomide, HMAs, intensive chemotherapy, and alloSCT. A number of phase 3 combinations studies have been completed or are ongoing at the time of this report. At the present time there are no approved interventions for patients with progressive or refractory disease particularly after HMA based therapy. In 2021, several reports indicated improved outcomes with alloSCT in MDS as well as early results from clinical trials using targeted intervention.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ajh.26984","authors":["Guillermo Garcia‐Manero"],"tags":["International Prognostic Scoring System","Medicine","Myelodysplastic syndromes","Internal medicine","Oncology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-06-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ajh.26984","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W2168851595","name":"Role of neutrophils in systemic autoimmune diseases","source":"openalex","abstract":"Neutrophils have emerged as important regulators of innate and adaptive immune responses.

One mechanism is through the changes to the machinery of translation initiation. These alterations favor the translation of one subset of mRNAs over another. It was first shown that internal ribosome entry sites (IRESes) within viral RNA genomes allowed the production of viral proteins more efficiently than most of the host proteins. The RNA secondary structure of viral IRESes has sometimes been conserved between viral species even though the primary sequences differ. These structures are important for IRES function, but no similar structure conservation has yet to be shown in cellular IRES. With the advances in mathematical modeling and computational approaches to complex biological problems, is there a way to predict an IRES in a data set of unknown sequences? This review examines what is known about cellular IRES structures, as well as the data sets and tools available to examine this question. We find that the lengths, number of upstream AUGs, and %GC content of 5'-UTRs of the human transcriptome have a similar distribution to those of published IRES-containing UTRs. Although the UTRs containing IRESes are on the average longer, almost half of all 5'-UTRs are long enough to contain an IRES. Examination of the available RNA structure prediction software and RNA motif searching programs indicates that while these programs are useful tools to fine tune the empirically determined RNA secondary structure, the accuracy of de novo secondary structure prediction of large RNA molecules and subsequent identification of new IRES elements by computational approaches, is still not possible.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1261/rna.157806","authors":["Stephen Baird","Marcel Turcotte","Robert G.

These systems were originally designed for traditional, fixed networks, but they struggle to keep up with the fast-paced and constantly changing nature of cloud computing environments. Cloud computing has revolutionized technology, bringing many innovations in how organizations operate. Organizations rely heavily on the use of cloud storage to store and retrieve their sensitive data. Security issues in the cloud computing environment are a big challenge as, despite various protection measures, the cloud environment is vulnerable to security threats. Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) is a significant component in securing the cloud environment against emerging threats in cyber-attacks. This paper takes a close look at intrusion detection systems (IDS) that are specifically built for cloud computing. The cloud brings its own set of challenges like constantly changing resources, sharing space between many users, and limited visibility into all the network traffic. Unlike traditional IDS that work in fixed, local networks, cloud-based IDS have to handle traffic that moves between virtual machines and scale up or down quickly. Cloud computing has transformed over time, improving access to scalability while offering vulnerabilities that increase the probability of intrusion or attacks. This review addresses these research gaps by comprehensively surveying state-of-the-art IDPS techniques tailored for cloud computing environments. IDPS is further classified into different categories, such as signature-based, anomaly-based, and hybrid-based. Recently, combining Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) with Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) has shown to be very effective, as it allows for more precise detection and large-scale use. However, notable challenges include small dataset sizes, imbalanced datasets, and high expenses. These challenges mainly focus on creating adaptive systems that identify intrusions in real time. To tackle this, attention is directed towards ensemble learning and edge computing. The outcomes of these initiatives are being used to create a strong and efficient IDS that fits well with the changing nature of cloud environments. This survey provides a comprehensive analysis of current IDPS methodologies and future perspectives, aiming to contribute to developing robust and efficient cloud security solutions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10791-025-09641-y","authors":["Shamma Shabnam Nasim","Prashant Pranav","Sandip Dutta"],"tags":["Cloud computing","Intrusion detection system","Computer science","Systematic review","Data science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10791-025-09641-y","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W4386999067","name":"Nurse's knowledge and practice towards prevention of catheter‐associated urinary tract infection: A systematic review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Catheter‐associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a common complication associated with indwelling urinary catheters, frequently used in healthcare settings. Nurses play a critical role in preventing CAUTI, as they are often responsible for inserting, maintaining and removing urinary catheters. Therefore, it is important to comprehensively assess nurses' level of knowledge about CAUTIs and the variables that influence their application of best practices and recommendations for preventing these infections. The PRISMA principles were used to conduct a literature search for relevant research publications across several online databases (Web of Science, PubMed, MEDLINE and Scopus). The quality of these studies was evaluated using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. There were 397 research articles, however only 21 articles were included after the screening. The majority of participants possessed diplomas ranging from 3% to 88.2%. In addition, the percentage of nurses with bachelor's degree's ranges from 11.80% to 100%. Moreover, 23.90% of registered nurses hold a master's degree. Most nurses had between 1 and 5 and more than 5 years of experience. Nurses held good/adequate and average knowledge and practices regarding prevention and control of CAUTIs. Furthermore, age, gender, work experience, professional experience, in‐service training, CAUTI prevention guidelines, time, equipment, personnel availability and work unit were all identified barriers. While continuing/in‐service education and self‐guided modules served as facilitators for the prevention of CAUTIs. Meanwhile, studies were found of good methodological quality. Improving nurses' knowledge and practice towards preventing CAUTI is crucial to reducing the prevalence of the infection and improving patient outcomes. Implementing evidence‐based interventions can help bridge the gap in knowledge and practice among nurses, ultimately leading to better patient care and outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/ijun.12380","authors":["Fatmah Alsolami","Nahla Tayyib"],"tags":["Medicine","Critical appraisal","Infection control","Nursing","MEDLINE"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-09-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/ijun.12380","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406121680","name":"Thermochemical and chemo-biological molecular recycling of plastic waste and plastic-biomass waste mixtures: an updated review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Thermochemical and bioprocessing are feasible for recovering valuable building block molecules from plastic residues.

METHODS: A retrospective analysis of resuscitation records of 743 patients in whom cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed in a general ward between 1988 and 1992. After successful initial cardiopulmonary resuscitation, patients were identified as transferred to coronary care unit (CCU) or intensive care unit (ITU), or as staying in a general ward. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Survival to discharge home. RESULTS: There were 322 initial survivors, of whom 148 (20% of the overall total) survived to be discharged from hospital; 63% of those transferred to CCU and 48% of those transferred to ITU survived to discharge, compared with 28% of those who stayed on the ward (P < 0.001). Of those aged less than 65 years, 75% survived to discharge after transfer to CCU and 54% after transfer to ITU, compared with 44% of those who stayed on the ward (P = 0.023); the respective figures for those over 65 years were: CCU 25%, ITU 34%, ward 25% (P = 0.014). Only half of those aged more than 65 years were transferred to a specialist facility, compared with 90% of those aged less than 65. CONCLUSIONS: Transfer to a specialist care facility after resuscitation from cardiopulmonary arrest has an influence on outcome.

The decision to arrange transfer must always be taken by the most experienced person available, and in line with peer reviewed guidelines.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/emj.14.1.26","authors":["S.

Specific ICU follow-up services are relatively recent developments in health systems, and may have the potential to address PICS through targeting unmet health needs arising from the experience of the ICU stay. There is currently no single accepted model of follow-up service and current aftercare programmes encompass a variety of interventions and materials. There is uncertain evidence about whether follow-up services effectively address PICS, and this review assesses this. OBJECTIVES: Our main objective was to assess the effectiveness of follow-up services for ICU survivors that aim to identify and address unmet health needs related to the ICU period. We aimed to assess effectiveness in relation to health-related quality of life (HRQoL), mortality, depression and anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), physical function, cognitive function, ability to return to work or education and adverse effects.Our secondary objectives were to examine different models of follow-up services. We aimed to explore: the effectiveness of service organisation (physician- versus nurse-led, face-to-face versus remote, timing of follow-up service); differences related to country (high-income versus low- and middle-income countries); and effect of delirium, which can subsequently affect cognitive function, and the effect of follow-up services may differ for these participants. SEARCH METHODS: We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase and CINAHL on 7 November 2017. We searched clinical trials registers for ongoing studies, and conducted backward and forward citation searching of relevant articles. SELECTION CRITERIA: We included randomised and non-randomised studies with adult participants, who had been discharged from hospital following an ICU stay. We included studies that compared an ICU follow-up service using a structured programme and co-ordinated by a healthcare professional versus no follow-up service or standard care. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two review authors independently assessed studies for inclusion, extracted data, assessed risk of bias, and synthesised findings. We used the GRADE approach to assess the certainty of the evidence. MAIN RESULTS: We included five studies (four randomised studies; one non-randomised study), for a total of 1707 participants who were ICU survivors with a range of illness severities and conditions. Follow-up services were led by nurses in four studies or a multidisciplinary team in one study. They included face-to-face consultations at home or in a clinic, or telephone consultations or both. Each study included at least one consultation (weekly, monthly, or six-monthly), and two studies had up to eight consultations. Although the design of follow-up service consultations differed in each study, we noted that each service included assessment of participants' needs with referrals to specialist support if required.It was not feasible to blind healthcare professionals or participants to the intervention and we did not know whether this may have introduced performance bias. We noted baseline differences (two studies), and services included additional resources (two studies), which may have influenced results, and one non-randomised study had high risk of selection bias.We did not combine data from randomised studies with data from one non-randomised study. Follow-up services for improving long-term outcomes in ICU survivors may make little or no difference to HRQoL at 12 months (standardised mean difference (SMD) -0.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.1 to 0.1; 1 study; 286 participants; low-certainty evidence). We found moderate-certainty evidence from five studies that they probably also make little or no difference to all-cause mortality up to 12 months after ICU discharge (RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.22; 4 studies; 1289 participant","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.cd012701.pub2","authors":["Oliver J Schofield-Robinson","Sharon R Lewis","Andrew F Smith","Joanne McPeake","Phil Alderson"],"tags":["Medicine","CINAHL","Psychological intervention","Delirium","MEDLINE"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-11-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.cd012701.pub2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W3111246634","name":"Carbon Capture From Flue Gas and the Atmosphere: A Perspective","source":"openalex","abstract":"Climate change has become a worldwide concern with the rapid rise of the atmospheric Co2 concentration.

Much progress has been achieved, especially within the last twenty years. In this perspective, we first briefly review the current status of carbon capture technologies including absorption, adsorption, membrane, biological capture, and cryogenic separation, and compare their advantages and disadvantages. Then, we focus mainly on the recent advances in the absorption, adsorption, and membrane technologies. Even though numerous optimizations in materials and processes have been pursued, implementing a single separation process is still quite energy-intensive or costly. To address the challenges, we provide our perspectives on future directions of Co2 capture research and development, that is, the combination of flue gas recycling and hybrid capture system, and one-step integrated Co2 capture and conversion system, as they have the potential to overcome the technical bottlenecks of single capture technologies, offering significant improvement in energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2020.560849","authors":["Xiaoxing Wang","Chunshan Song"],"tags":["Flue gas","Carbon capture and storage (timeline)","Greenhouse gas","Process engineering","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-12-15","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2020.560849","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"oa:W2884287472","name":"Descriptive Analysis of Acceptance by Prescribers and Economic Benefit of Pharmacist Recommended Interventions in a Critical Care Unit","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background: Pharmacist clinical intervention is defined as the action that identifies and prevents medication-related problems and optimizes patient’s medication therapy in cooperation with other healthcare professionals. Types of clinical interventions may vary, but each is patient specific. Few studies have focused on clinical pharmacists interventions in a critical care setting at a rural hospital. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess physician acceptance rate of pharmacist-recommended interventions in the critical care unit (CCU) at a rural hospital over five years and to evaluate the economic benefit of accepted pharmacist-recommended interventions over a one-year time period. Methods: This study was a retrospective chart review over a five-year time period. Each intervention was categorized and analyzed for acceptance or non-acceptance by the treating physician. Evaluation of economic benefit, cost saving and cost avoidance, for a one-year time period was performed. Results: A total of 1275 interventions were documented during study period. The average acceptance rate for documented interventions was 56%. The acceptance rate by physicians increased over the study period; with the acceptance rate in 2013 being statistically significantly higher than any other years. The overall cost saving for selected interventions was $432 for the one year. The overall cost avoidance of all accepted interventions for the one year was $453,339.36-$468,327.62. Conclusion: Clinical pharmacists provide various types of interventions to improve patient care. The analysis of potential cost saving and cost avoidance of selected interventions illustrated a positive economic outcome.

This area is home to nearly one quarter of Canada’s population and approximately three-quarters of one million people work in the manufacturing sector. Fifteen of the province’s top 20 CO2 emission point sources are in this area. The industries responsible for these emissions include steel mills, refineries and petrochemical plants, and cement plants. These industries are part of the hard-to-abate sector, in that CO2 is used or generated as an integral part of the industrial process. As such, eliminating or even reducing emissions from these industries is a difficult task. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects aim to sequester that gas in sedimentary basins over periods exceeding several thousand years. To this end, deeply buried (> 800 m) porous and permeable rocks (a repository) must be overlain by impermeable rocks that act as a seal, preventing the upward migration of CO2 into the atmosphere. The possibility that injection activities could trigger seismicity is but one of the additional considerations. When operational, CCS projects have a negative carbon footprint and the desirability of developing and using this technology has been established for over 20 years. True CCS projects differ from carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects in that the former are only designed with sequestration in mind. One type of CCUS project involves using CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and this technology has been employed for several decades. Cambrian sandstones are the most suitable injection targets for CCS in southwestern Ontario because previous oil and gas drilling has shown the rocks to have the necessary characteristics. They are buried below 800 m, can be tens of metres thick, and have adequate porosity and permeability. However, the Cambrian section is lithologically and stratigraphically heterogeneous and oil, gas, and brine can all be present in the pore space. The extent to which this complexity will affect CO2 injection has not yet been evaluated.","url":"https://doi.org/10.12789/geocanj.2024.51.212","authors":["Bruce S.

In this review, we assess possible technology paths for Switzerland to reach these goals. First, we provide an overview of Switzerland's current energy demand and discuss possible renewable technologies as well as proposed scenarios to defossilize the current energy system. In here, electric vehicles and heat pumps are key technologies, whereas mainly photovoltaics replace nuclear power to deliver clean electricity. The production of chemicals also consumes fossil resources and for Switzerland, the oil demand for imported domestically used chemicals and plastics corresponds to around 20% of the current energetic oil demand. Thus, we additionally summarize technologies and visions for a sustainable chemical sector based on the renewable carbon sources biomass, CO₂ and recycled plastic. As biomass is the most versatile renewable energy and carbon source, although with a limited availability, aspects and proposed strategies for an optimal use are discussed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2533/chimia.2021.788","authors":["Simone Brethauer","Michael H.

Conventional mechanical and differential-pressure flowmeters are reliable under stable single-phase conditions but suffer from gas entrainment, damping shifts, and density-dependent errors near phase boundaries, whereas optical, acoustic, tomographic, and radiation-based methods provide nonintrusive routes for flow-regime visualization and impurity-tolerant monitoring.

However, given the current limitations in sequestration capacity, chemical recycling of carbon through conversion is gaining attention as a more sustainable and economically viable alternative. This innovative approach transforms captured greenhouse gases into valuable products through specific catalytic processes designed for the synthesis of clean fuels, such as methanol and dimethyl ether, as well as key compounds such as urea, carbonates, and formic acid. Among the various technologies employed for CO2 conversion – including electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, thermal catalysis, and hydrogenation – layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have attracted growing interest given their intrinsic CO2 retention and transformation properties, ease of synthesis, and potential to be produced from industrial waste. Recent studies have highlighted the tunable properties of LDHs, which make them particularly suitable for applications in CO2 valorization. However, there are still challenges to overcome in using these materials, such as: improving their chemical and thermal stability, increasing the adsorption rate and cyclic stability, as well as developing green, cheap, simple and efficient LDHs with a view to scalability and industrial production. This review provides a critical overview of synthetic methods for LDHs, with special emphasis on routes based on industrial waste, and examines the catalytic processes through which CO₂ can be transformed into valuable resources.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01614940.2025.2564085","authors":["A.I.

Figuring out the regularity of CO 2 dynamic injection, migration and hydration in porous media is crucial for achieving efficient hydrate-based CO 2 sequestration in marine sediments. In this work, the impacts of CO 2 injection well types and sequestration layers on hydrate formation and conversion rates were first investigated using a small-scale experimental apparatus. The plugging phenomenon at different positions, including the wellhead, nearby formation, and displacement channels caused by CO 2 hydrate generation, was revealed. Subsequently, comparative magnification experiments of hydrate-based CO 2 sequestration were conducted based on the self-developed large-scale platform, where a similar phenomenon was discovered. Results show that there are significant differences in the increased temperature magnitude at each layer, indicating a small CO 2 propagation and hydrate formation range with vertical CO 2 injection wells. The CO 2 sweep range and hydrate formation area are larger when horizontal wells are employed for CO 2 injection. The use of multilaterally perforated horizontal wells for CO 2 injection yields the highest hydrate-based CO 2 sequestration efficiency. Meanwhile, injecting CO 2 from the underlying layers, after preferentially forming an artificial CO 2 hydrate cap in the overlying layers, is more conducive to the formation of large amounts of hydrate. CO 2 injection through multiple layers results in a higher hydrate conversion rate compared to single-layer injection. The findings in this work are of great significance for understanding the mechanism of CO 2 hydrate formation at different scales and provide data support for field-scale hydrate-based CO 2 sequestration in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c01941","authors":["Weixin Pang","Mingqiang Chen","Qiang Fu","Yang Ge","Xiaohan Zhang","Huiyun Wen","Shouwei Zhou","Qingping Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-14T12:06:00Z","doi":"10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c01941","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2172/3015814","name":"Southeast Regional CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; Utilization and Storage Acceleration Partnership (SECARB-USA): Regional Commercialization Plan (Final): Work Products 4.4.b (Regional Commercialization Plan) &amp;amp; 4.3 (Socioeconomic Impacts of CCUS and Workforce Readines","source":"crossref","abstract":"Southeast Regional CO2 Utilization and Storage Acceleration Partnership (SECARB-USA): Regional Commercialization Plan (Final) (Work Product 4.4.b) & Socioeconomic Impacts of CCUS and Workforce Readiness (Work Product 4.3)","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/3015814","authors":["David Riestenberg","Denise Hills","Matt Wallace","Brian Hill","Bulbul Ahmed","Bailian Chen","Nicholas Kaylor","Benjamin Wernette"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-27T11:23:30Z","doi":"10.2172/3015814","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.jpcc.2c00520","name":"Surface Coverage as an Important Parameter for Predicting Selectivity Trends in Electrochemical CO<sub>2</sub> Reduction","source":"crossref","abstract":"The electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) is important for a sustainable future. Key insights into the reaction pathways have been obtained by density functional theory (DFT) analysis, but so far, DFT has been unable to give an overall understanding of selectivity trends without important caveats. We show that an unconsidered parameter in DFT models of electrocatalysts-the surface coverage of reacting species-is crucial for understanding the CO 2 RR selectivities for different surfaces. Surface coverage is a parameter that must be assumed in most DFT studies of CO 2 RR electrocatalysts, but so far, only the coverage of nonreacting adsorbates has been treated. Explicitly treating the surface coverage of reacting adsorbates allows for an investigation that can more closely mimic operating conditions. Furthermore, and of more immediate importance, the use of surface coverage-dependent adsorption energies allows for the extraction of ratios of adsorption energies of CO 2 RR intermediates (COOH ads and HCOO ads ) that are shown to be predictive of selectivity and are not susceptible to systematic errors. This approach allows for categorization of the selectivity of several monometallic catalysts (Pt, Pd, Au, Ag, Zn, Cu, Rh, W, Pb, Sn, In, Cd, and Tl), even problematic ones such as Ag or Zn, and does so by only considering the adsorption energies of known intermediates. The selectivity of the further reduction of COOH ads can now be explained by a preference for Tafel or Heyrovsky reactions, recontextualizing the nature of selectivity of some catalysts. In summary, this work resolves differences between DFT and experimental studies of the CO 2 RR and underlines the importance of surface coverage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.2c00520","authors":["Andrew R.

Further, the change in the mechanism upon In incorporation and K promotion has been probed by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy, and it is found that the OCH x intermediate, which produces HAs, is more prominent upon In substitution, which favored the enhancement of HA production compared to that of pristine Fe 2 O 3 .","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acscatal.2c03183","authors":["Devender Goud","Sathyapal R.

Tremendous efforts have been carried out for designing efficient catalyst materials to selectively produce the desired product in high yield from CO 2 by the electrochemical process. In this work, a strategy is reported to enhance the electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (ECO 2 RR) by constructing an interface between a metal-based alloy (PdIn) nanoparticle and an oxide (In 2 O 3 ), which was synthesized by a facile solution method. The oxide-derived PdIn surface has shown excellent eCO 2 RR activity and enhanced CO selectivity with a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 92.13% at -0.9 V (vs RHE). On the other hand, surface PdO formation due to charge transfer on the bare PdIn alloy reduces the CO 2 RR activity. With the support of in situ (EXAFS and IR) and ex situ (XPS, Raman) spectroscopic techniques, the optimum presence of the Pd-In-O interface has been identified as a crucial parameter for enhancing eCO 2 RR toward CO in a reducing atmosphere. The influence of eCO 2 RR duration is reported to affect the overall performance by switching the product selectivity from H 2 (from water reduction) to CO (from eCO 2 RR) on the oxide-derived alloy surface.

During CO2 injection, gas channeling is a key problem to limiting displacement efficiency, and foam has shown great advantages in sealing channeling technology. However, conventional surfactant-stabilized CO2 foam is difficult to maintain for a long time. In this paper, CO2 foam was developed with a single long-chain viscoelastic surfactant (erucyl dimethyl amidopropyl betaine, EAB). Stability mechanism and dynamic evolution of structure were studied using multiple light scattering method. Then, the aggregation and adsorption behaviors of EAB were determined by rheology experiments, dynamic light scattering, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, and dilatational rheology. The results showed EAB has excellent CO2 foam performance, and initial volume and the half-life of foam could reach 330 mL and 272 min. Liquid drainage and bubble coalescence of foam were delayed due to the formation of viscoelastic liquid phase and interface. Liquid film thickness was maintained at about 10 µm after 2 h and interfacial dilational modulus was above 25 mN/m, which showed high surface repair efficiency and liquid storage capacity. Apparent viscosity of EAB solution decreased from 89 to 15 mPa·s as the temperature increased, which accelerated the process of water evaporation and liquid drainage. Only enough EAB molecules could effectively reduce initial surface tension from 70 to 56 mN/m to ensure good interfacial properties of foam. At high salt concentration, surface adsorption process to reach equilibrium was extended from 300 to 1400 s and dilational modulus fluctuated between 5 and 20 mN/m, which indicated surface activity and surface repair ability of EAB were inhibited.

Particularly, wettability is frequently overlooked in the majority of investigations, leading to substantial deviations from true phase behavior and limiting model reliability.

Our results demonstrate that critical properties including saturation pressure, density, and minimum miscible pressure (MMP) decrease as pore size reduces below 75 nm, and gradually approach bulk values for larger pores. Concurrently, capillary pressure increases with the gas-liquid contact angle, enhancing liquid-phase enrichment of light components and consequently decreasing density and saturation pressure. Wettability further alters phase envelope by lowering bubble and upper dew point pressures, raising the lower dew point, and narrowing the two-phase region, while the critical point and MMP remain unchanged.

Herein, we report a pyrene-functionalized Cu(II) complex (C2) that operates as a self-sensitized photocatalyst for selective CO 2 -to-CO conversion under visible light, eliminating the need for external photosensitizers. The pyrene moiety serves dually as a chromophore and electron transfer mediator, facilitating intramolecular charge separation and enhancing photocatalytic performance. A nonpyrene analog (C1) was synthesized as a control to probe the role of the ligand framework. Under electrochemical conditions, C2 outperformed C1 in both activity and selectivity (TON CO ∼ 257, 88% CO, rate: 618 s –1 ) and achieved a TON 15 h ∼ 1900 under photosensitizer-free conditions. The system also demonstrated compatibility with metal-free organic photosensitizers such as CzIPN. Mechanistic investigations employing in situ Fourier transform infrared, electron paramagnetic resonance, and transient spectroscopic techniques revealed key intermediates and elucidated charge transfer pathways. Notably, C2 maintained robust performance in aqueous solvent systems, in simulated flue gas environments, and under solar irradiation, selectively producing CO while suppressing H 2 evolution. These results establish C2 as a blueprint for the rational design of self-sensitized molecular catalysts, advancing solar-driven CO 2 utilization and offering a scalable route toward artificial photosynthesis and carbon management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acscatal.5c04883","authors":["Chandan Das","Abhishek Saini","Priya Bhandari","Liton Seikh","Piyali Majumder","Rathindranath Biswas","Subho Ghosh","Anindya Datta","Goutam K.

Yet, how to best detect or predict the emergence of HSCT-related complications remain unresolved. Here, we describe a case of donor-derived, transient Alpha Beta (αβ) T-cell large granular clonal lymphocytosis and cytopenia that emerged post-HSCT in a patient with a history of gamma delta (γδ) T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL). Clonal unrelatedness of post-transplant T-LGL lymphocytosis to the patient's pretransplant T-LGLL was first identified by T-cell receptor (TCR) PCR showing different sized fragments of rearranged gamma chains, in addition to shift from γδ to αβ TCR expression by flow cytometry analyses. Donor-derivation of the patient's post-transplant clonal lymphocytosis was confirmed by serial chimerism analyses of recipient's blood specimens demonstrating 100% donor DNA. Moreover, oncogenic DNMT3A and RUNX1 mutations were detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS) only in post-transplant specimens. Intriguingly, despite continued increase in DNMT3A and RUNX1 mutation load, the patient's clonal lymphocytosis and anemia eventually largely resolved; yet, the observed mutation profile with persistent thrombocytopenia indicated secondary clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) in the absence of overt morphologic evidence of myeloid neoplasm in the marrow. This case illustrates the utility of longitudinal chimerism analysis and NGS testing combined with flow cytometric immunophenotyping to evaluate emerging donor-derived hematolymphoid processes and to properly interpret partial functional engraftment. It may also support the notion that driver mutation-induced microenvironmental changes may paradoxically contribute to reestablishing tissue homeostasis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/mcs.a006241","authors":["Siba El Hussein","Andrew G.

Then, CO 2 absorption kinetic performance of these blends was assessed across a temperature range of 303–328 K. The results indicated a significant enhancement in the initial absorption rate with an increase in the DFIL concentration (2.5–10 wt %). The overall rate constant ( k ov ) values were higher in the capture using these DFILs compared to those with the reported promoters such as monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and piperazine (PZ). The absorption rate followed the Arrhenius law with an activation energy of 25.61 kJ/mol for T-Im/MDEA and 24.87 kJ/mol for D-Im/MDEA, respectively. 13 C NMR characterization confirmed that carbamate formation increased with an increasing T-Im concentration in the blend.

Harvesting ubiquitously inherent solar energy and applying the same in photopropagated CO 2 reduction toward the generation of value-added energy feedstock using apposite semiconductor photocatalysts have proven to be a sustainable and greener process completing the carbon cycle. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has been recognized as a highly potent photo- as well as electrocatalyst for the CO 2 reduction reaction (CRR), primarily due to its high chemical and thermal stability, low toxicity, cost-effectiveness, visible light absorption capacity, and ingeniously tunable synthetic routes as compared to other semiconductor platforms. Nevertheless, a lower specific surface area, lower electrical conductivity, fast recombination of phototriggered excitons, and narrow visible light absorption window hinder the application of this catalytic material for practical photocatalytic utilization. Adapting certain alteration approaches, such as structural modulation, elemental doping, attachment of metal complex motif, functional group modification of g-C 3 N 4 etc., can dramatically reinforce the photocatalytic activity in the direction of efficient CO 2 reduction. The present review explores the various perceptions of synthetic routes as well as individual optimization techniques of g-C 3 N 4 promoting CO 2 photoreduction adopted by the scientific community from the very outset to the latest findings.

However, even after a decade and a half of research, the primary focus of the field lies on the covalent reticular structure, and the chemistry of COFs in the nano regime is often overlooked. The COF nanostructures (nanosheets, nanofibers, and nanospheres) are quite distinct from the bulk forms and often influence the properties of their bulk counterparts.

This means that the data are not fully acquired to zero offset. Therefore, the restoration of near-offset data using deep learning (DL) techniques presents unique challenges because it is impossible to learn from label data, which are typically used in DL-based interpolation methods. Therefore, we propose a novel approach involving self-supervised learning (SSL). SSL is a training paradigm in DL, where a model is trained on a task using the data itself, rather than over-relying on label data. SSL consists of a two-step process; upstream and downstream tasks. In this study, an upstream task performs training of various near-offset features using synthetic datasets from public domain. Subsequently, the downstream task produces an extrapolation model through transfer learning (TL) with the pretrained near-offset features to the target data. In other words, the trained model is not only able to learn the information of the near-offset range effectively, but is also properly tailored to the features of the target data. The effectiveness of the proposed method was validated in numerical experiments. Then, to verify the field applicability, we tested its performance using field data. The reliability of the proposed approach was established through cross-validation, by comparing its results with those of a previous DL-based method and the pretrained model. All experiment results demonstrated that the proposed method effectively extrapolated near-offset gaps in real field data.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/tgrs.2024.3426599","authors":["Jiho Park","Sooyoon Kim","Soon Jee Seol","Joongmoo Byun"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-11T17:55:18Z","doi":"10.1109/tgrs.2024.3426599","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c03455","name":"CO<sub>2</sub> Front Migration Law and Injection-Production Optimization Based on Incomplete-Miscible Displacement","source":"crossref","abstract":"At present, CO 2 displacement has become one of the most effective ways to develop low-permeability reservoirs, and these were characterized by immiscible interfaces and easy gas channels. In order to clarify the front migration law of low-permeability reservoirs under CO 2 displacement, the concepts of pressure front, diffusion front, and interface front were proposed. A conceptual model was established to describe the front migration characteristics and parameter changes of different miscible degrees during displacement. It is worth mentioning that the quantitative characterization of miscibility based on the coupling relationship between the front and the pressure in this work is different from the previous characterization of miscibility by a single pressure parameter, which is more in line with the development characteristics. The results showed that with the increase of the CO 2 injection, three fronts migrated from the injection well to production well and the pressure front was the fastest followed by the diffusion front and the interface front. With the decrease of the miscible degree, the pressure front receded faster, the width of the miscible band narrowed by about 11 m, and the degree of miscibility decreased significantly. Based on the front migration law, the injection-production process was optimized as alternating water and gas injection, five-point well pattern, well spacing of 450 m, water and gas slug ratio of 1:1, and slug size of 0.04 HCPV.

The appropriate formation of this cobaloxime-azurin construct [2] was studied via spectroscopic techniques to reveal that the cobalt core and the native copper center were electronically decoupled, but both were present in the protein template.

Developing shale oil using CO2 not only enhances oil recovery but also contributes to achieving Chinese “dual carbon” goals. Given the challenges of insufficient number of fractures, inadequate vertical stimulation volume, and poor reservoir mobility associated with horizontal well fracturing, this study proposes a method for CO2 flooding based on radial borehole fracturing in a single well to achieve long-term carbon sequestration. To this end, a multi-component numerical model is built to analyze the production capacity of radial borehole fracturing. This study analyzed the impacts of non-Darcy flow, diffusion, and adsorption mechanisms on CO2 migration and sequestration. It also compared the applicability of continuous CO2 flooding and CO2 huff-and-puff under different matrix permeabilities. The results indicate that (1) CO2 flooding using radial borehole fracturing can achieve long-term oil production and carbon sequestration. (2) Under low permeability conditions, the liquid non-Darcy effect retards the flow of oil and CO2, while diffusion and adsorption facilitate CO2 sequestration in the reservoir. The impact on carbon sequestration is ranked as follows: non-Darcy effect &gt; adsorption &gt; diffusion. (3) High-permeability reservoirs are more suitable for carbon sequestration and should utilize continuous CO2 flooding. For low-permeability reservoirs (&lt;0.001 mD), huff-and-puff should be employed to mobilize the reservoir around fractures and achieve carbon sequestration.

Introduction of an unsaturation within the 5-membered ring of the γ-lactam annihilates the precedence of the amide function over the capture of the silylium cation, which results in a lower chemoselectivity. Monitoring over time the catalyzed reduction of a γ-lactam bearing a carboxylic ester appendage by 1 H NMR spectroscopy revealed pseudo-zero-order kinetics for the prior hydrosilylation of the lactam’s amide. This primary hydrosilylation reaction is followed by the full conversion of the formed intermediate into a pyrrolidine following a pseudo-first-order rate law. Under anhydrous conditions, the hydrosilylation of the pendant ester function occurs only in a late stage once the γ-lactam’s amide function has underwent full reduction of the carbonyl function. DFT investigations show that chemoselectivity is governed (1) by the affinity of the organic substrate for the triethylsilylium cation produced by the electrophilic activation of Et 3 SiH by the Ir(III) catalyst and (2) by the ability of the in situ- formed hydrido-iridium(III) intermediate to transfer hydride to the activated substrate.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.organomet.4c00044","authors":["Halima Khadraoui","Chunchesh Malangi Gajendramurthy","Sara Figueirêdo de Alcântara Morais","Yann Cornaton","Hédi M’rabet","Philippe Bertani","Aïcha Arfaoui","Jean-Pierre Djukic"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-25T17:52:55Z","doi":"10.1021/acs.organomet.4c00044","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/smll.202305307","name":"Pyrolysis Free Out‐of‐Plane Co‐Single Atomic Sites in Porous Organic Photopolymer Stimulates Solar‐Powered CO\n                    <sub>2</sub>\n                    Fixation","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Herein, a facile strategy is illustrated to develop pyrolysis‐free out‐of‐plane coordinated single atomic sites‐based M‐POP via a one‐pot Friedel Craft acylation route followed by a post‐synthetic metalation.

Herein, we report an imine-based, diamondoid COF that embraces one-dimensional porous channels in spite of ninefold interpenetration. A combination of intrinsic microporosity and pore wall decoration with accessible N atoms from linear strut renders this 3D COF display reasonable CO 2 affinity with decent selectivity (CO 2 /N 2: 64.2; CO 2 /CH 4: 10.5) alongside worthy multicyclic CO 2 uptake–release recurrence. Interestingly, the COF undergoes solvent-assisted alteration to a pore-stretched structure via −C═N– “pedal” motion with a concomitant enhancement in CO 2 uptake, where steady reversibility of such structural dynamism instigates unprecedented CO 2 adsorption switch up to seven consecutive cycles. Integration of 2,2′-bipyridyl units benefits anchoring of homogeneous catalyst to device first-ever Ru(Bpy) 2 2+ hooked diamondoid COF (Ru-COF), which performs visible-light-triggered oxidative cyanation of tertiary amines at room temperature, using molecular oxygen as a selective oxidant in green solvent H 2 O. The photocatalyst-engineered COF manifests excellent recyclability and comparable activity to that of homogeneous catalyst. To the best of Ru-COF, atom-economic photocyanation is realized via in situ generated iminium ion, wherein larger-sized substrates exhibit insignificant conversion of α-aminonitriles and validate rarest size selectivity in oxidative Strecker reaction.

The formation of synthesis gas (CO/H 2 ) and the conversion of synthesis gas to methanol are the two basic catalytic processes used in methanol production. Machine learning (ML) approaches have recently emerged as powerful tools in reaction informatics. Inspired by these, we employ Gaussian process regression (GPR) to the model conversion of carbon monoxide (CO) and selectivity of the methanol product using data sets obtained from experimental investigations to capture uncertainty in prediction values. The results indicate that the proposed GPR model can accurately predict CO conversion and methanol selectivity as compared to other ML models. Further, the factors that influence the predictions are identified from the best GPR model employing “Shapley Additive exPlanations” (SHAP). After interpretation, the essential input features are found to be the inlet mole fraction of CO (Y(CO, in)) and the net inlet flow rate (Fin(nL/min)) for our best prediction GPR models, irrespective of our data sets. These interpretable models are employed for Bayesian optimization in a weighted multiobjective framework to obtain the optimal operating points, namely, maximization of both selectivity and conversion.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.2c04919","authors":["Avan Kumar","Kamal K.

The two objectives of enhancing oil recovery and CO 2 storage exhibit both alignment and conflict, especially in the ultralow-permeability reservoir. However, current research often ignores the impact of reservoir heterogeneity, chemical reactions induced by CO 2, and the lack of quantitative characterization of synergies. This paper constructed a three-dimensional multiphase, multicomponent, thermal–hydraulic–chemical multifield coupled model for an actual well group. This paper thoroughly examines the mechanism of CO 2 storage in oil reservoirs and investigates the influence of geological and engineering parameters on CO 2 -enhanced oil recovery and storage by establishing a realistic CO 2 –water–oil–rock physicochemical reaction system. The gray correlation method was used to analyze the impact of various factors on the CO 2 oil displacement and storage, and the synergistic parameters were analyzed. The results show that reservoir pressure, WAG alternating cycles, and injection rate are synergistic parameters. In addition, the storage form of CO 2 is mainly structural storage, and mineralization storage can be ignored during the development of oil reservoirs. The amount of dissolved storage, however, gradually transforms into the amount of mineralized storage over time. During the 200 years of shut-in period, the amount of mineralized storage increased 13.6 times. It is also found that introducing hydrodynamic theory into the water–gas alternating injection process can effectively utilize the gravity of water and the buoyancy of CO 2 to increase the swept volume of CO 2 . When the depth of the gas and water injection points is small, the oil recovery and the CO 2 storage rate can be improved. The oil recovery of the final optimized plan is 40.5%, and the CO 2 storage rate is 64.5%. This study helps to better formulate development designs for ultralow-permeability reservoirs to achieve dual goals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c00361","authors":["Ting Hu","Siwei Chen","Zhenhua Rui","Waleed Ali Khan","Zesen Peng","Xiukun Wang","Birol Dindoruk","Shirish Patil","Tao Yang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-14T20:59:01Z","doi":"10.1021/acs.energyfuels.4c00361","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.cej.2024.159135","name":"Microfluidic investigation on microscopic flow and displacement behavior of CO2 multiphase system for CCUS-EOR in heterogeneous porous media","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2024.159135","authors":["Cheng Qian","Zhenhua Rui","Yueliang Liu","Kaihu Zhou","Kai Du","Yang Zhao","Jirui Zou","Kaoping Song","Xintong Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-30T12:10:31Z","doi":"10.1016/j.cej.2024.159135","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.molstruc.2022.134392","name":"Experimental and theoretical study unveiling the role of solvents on CO activation and hydrogenation to methanol in three-phase reactor system","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molstruc.2022.134392","authors":["Vaibhav Pandey","Rajan Singh","Kamal K.

On tuning these properties, it exhibits high thermal stability, electrical conductivity, and catalytic activity. In this work, by utilizing a carbonaceous thermal plasma with Ar and CO 2 as the major plasma-forming gases, a single-phase (NiFeMnCuZn) 3 O 4 high-entropy oxide material has been produced at a discharge power of 12 kW for the first time.

Alternatively, robust metal centers having asymmetric charge distribution can effectuate CC coupling reaction through the stabilization of intermediates, for desired product selectivity.

Structural analysis through transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy reveals the presence of charge polarized bismuth centers in Bi 19 S 27 Cl 3 . The intrinsic electric field induced by charge polarized bismuth centers renders better separation efficiency of photogenerated electron–hole pair. Furthermore, charge polarized centers yield better adsorption of CO* intermediate and accelerate the rate determining CC coupling step through the formation of OCCOH intermediate.

Therefore, we investigated the synthesis of (Cu,Mg) 2 (OH) 2 CO 3 precursors using a one-pot hydrothermal route, aiming to enhance Mg 2+ incorporation and increase the efficacy of Cu/MgO catalysts towards CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol. The first-principles formation energy calculations of (Cu 1– x Mg x ) 2 (OH) 2 CO 3 ( x = 0.0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.375, and 0.5) shed light on the reduced structural stability observed in magnesium-rich phases, prompting us to validate these findings experimentally. Thus, the structure of the Mg-rich rosasite analogous to the mcguinnessite mineral (CuMg) 2 (OH) 2 CO 3 was stabilized using a hydrothermal (HT) route and characterized thoroughly for the first time. Furthermore, the structure–activity relationship, physicochemical properties, and catalytic performance of the catalyst obtained via calcination of the mcguinnessite precursor were compared with conventionally prepared catalyst through coprecipitation (CP) and wet impregnation (IMP) routes. The experiments resulted in a CO 2 conversion of 15.17%, a methanol selectivity of 68.49%, and a methanol STY of 98.11 mg MeOH ·g cat –1 ·h –1 at 240 °C, 40 bar, and WHSV of 2600 mL/g cat ·h using Cu/MgO-HT. In-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) revealed the essential intermediates present during the catalyst-mediated reaction that leads to methanol formation. Furthermore, due to the stabilization of active metal species preventing active metal agglomeration and sintering, Cu/MgO-HT demonstrates outstanding long-term stability in a 100 h run. DFT simulations were used to explain the promotional role of MgO-supporting Cu clusters, corroborating the findings of the experimental results.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsaem.4c00525","authors":["Meenakshi Pokhriyal","Aakash Bhardwaj","Vaibhav Pandey","Kamal Kishore Pant","Sreedevi Upadhyayula"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-11T01:51:11Z","doi":"10.1021/acsaem.4c00525","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.cej.2025.169866","name":"Reductive transfer hydrogenation of furfural to 2-methylfuran over a Re-assisted Cu catalyst","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2025.169866","authors":["Debarun Banerjee","Aloka Kumar Sahu","Ajin Rajan","Agrim Singh","Jithin John Varghese","Jack Kay Clegg","Sreedevi Upadhyayula"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-21T06:34:24Z","doi":"10.1016/j.cej.2025.169866","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.energyfuels.3c04913","name":"Innovative Zoning Control Techniques for Optimizing a Megaton-Scale CCUS-EOR Project with Large-Pore-Volume CO<sub>2</sub> Flooding","source":"crossref","abstract":"After water flooding development in ultralow permeability reservoirs, connected water channels formed under high injection pressure will reduce the effectiveness of oil recovery and CO 2 storage. Based on the geological characteristics of the megaton-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) project implemented in Changqing Oilfield, we propose an innovative method for characterizing breakthroughs based on the correlation between water and gas breakthrough. We also implement zoning control optimization to achieve the goal of significantly improving oil recovery and CO 2 storage efficiency. Taking the HX block after water flooding development as an example, the production performance of the single well is first analyzed. The well groups with significant differences in average water cut are classified as Class I and Class II. Then, precise breakthrough characterization is completed based on the distribution of water saturation and flow rate multiple. We evaluated the feasibility and development effectiveness of the large PV (pore volume) CO 2 flooding technology through well pattern adjustment, injection–production parameter optimization based on designed exploration and controlled evolution, parameter sensitivity analysis, and miscibility differences among different levels of well groups. According to statistics, over 60% of the well groups have entered the stage of medium-high water cut. After zoning optimization, the oil recovery of the two well groups under large PV CO 2 flooding can increase by more than 25%, and the total storage amount of CO 2 in the whole region is predicted to reach 3 million tons. It is found that high pressure CO 2 injection under a linear infill pattern is more suitable for weak breakthrough well groups and can greatly improve the oil recovery and CO 2 storage efficiency. The injection intensity should be reduced to ensure the effective utilization of CO 2 for strong breakthrough groups. Sensitivity analysis shows that the gas–water slug ratio is the key factor affecting the CO 2 storage effect, so accurate real-time control is needed in the development process. In addition, when water alternating injection is not sufficient to effectively control the CO 2 breakthrough, gas–water gradient slug injection and gel plugging may be a better approach. These results are beneficial for large-scale CCUS engineering applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.3c04913","authors":["Yang Zhao","Xin Wen","Yueliang Liu","Kai Du","Zesen Peng","Cheng Qian","Ting Hu","Xiukun Wang","Chunning Gao","Wei Fan","Zhenhua Rui"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-03T14:41:17Z","doi":"10.1021/acs.energyfuels.3c04913","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jclepro.2025.146766","name":"Application of carbon biological sequestration technology in CCUS: Potential and optimization strategies for inorganic carbon absorption by plant root and CO2 carriers by biogas slurry","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2025.146766","authors":["Feihong Liang","Shuiping Yan","Zhan Shi","Te Tu","Andrea Pezzuolo","Qi Feng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-01T05:58:27Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jclepro.2025.146766","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.iecr.6c01466","name":"Factors Controlling Highly Efficient Ultralow-Content Ru Catalyst for Selective Hydrogenation of Dimethyl Terephthalate to Dimethyl 1,4-Cyclohexanedicarboxylate","source":"crossref","abstract":"The catalytic hydrogenation of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) to dimethyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DMCD) is a widely used process on a scale of over 250 kilotons.

First, a database is established with which several linear, nonlinear, and ensemble models were trained through a systematic cross-validation and grid search method and found that kernel ridge regression (KRR) is the optimum model. Second, the descriptors are ranked based on their complete decomposition contributions derived using principal component analysis. Further, optimum key descriptors (KDs) are evaluated through an iterative sequential addition method with the objective of maximizing the prediction accuracy of the reduced order KRR (r-KRR) model. Finally, the study resulted in the r-KRR model with nine KDs exhibiting the highest prediction accuracy with a minimum root-mean-square error (0.0023), mean absolute error (0.0016), and maximum R 2 (0.999).

A few examples in organic synthesis using metal-anchored COF photocatalysts were reported. Herein, we report highly stable β-keto-enamine-based COFs as photocatalysts for metal-free C-B bond formation reactions. Three different COFs have been availed for this purpose. Their photocatalysis performances have been monitored for 12 different substrates, like quinolines, pyridines, and pyrimidines. All the COFs showcase moderate-to-high yields (up to 96%) depending upon the substrate's molecular functionality. High crystallinity, a large surface area, a low band gap, and a suitable band position result in the highest catalytic activity of TpAzo COF. The thorough mechanistic investigation further highlights the crucial role of light-harvesting capacity, charge separation efficiency, and current density during catalysis. The light absorbance capacity of the COF plays a critical role during catalysis as yields are maximized near the COF's absorption maxima. The high photostability of the as-synthesized COFs offers their reusability for several (>5) catalytic cycles.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.3c00950","authors":["Ananda Basak","Suvendu Karak","Rahul Banerjee"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-03-21T10:46:36Z","doi":"10.1021/jacs.3c00950","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.670Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.chemmater.4c00405","name":"Unraveling the Cooperative Mechanisms in Ultralow Copper-Loaded WC@NGC for Enhanced CO<sub>2</sub> Electroreduction to Acetic Acid","source":"crossref","abstract":"Electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (eCO 2 RR) has been explored on tungsten carbide (WC) nanoparticles embedded on N-doped graphitic carbon (NGC), demonstrating excellent activity toward the formation of acetic acid at an extremely lower potential.

Extensive research has elucidated the broad spectrum of biological mechanisms contributing to the development of AML and specifically characterized a variety of genetic alterations initiating and defining the disease. However, the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of AML remains relatively unexplored; indeed, studies on the contribution of inflammatory signaling to disease initiation in myeloid malignancies have only recently gained attention, marking an emerging area of research. AML has the highest incidence in the elderly, where inflammation plays an even greater role. A granular understanding of inflammatory processes driving leukemogenesis thus promises to guide therapeutic strategies for a patient population where outcomes remain dismal. This review offers a comprehensive synthesis of the current knowledge on the role of inflammatory signaling in AML pathogenesis. It discusses the role of inflammation from premalignant states through malignant transformation, dissecting phenotypic, correlative studies from mechanistic evidence. We thereby highlight questions requiring further research to exploit the translational potential of therapies targeting inflammatory signaling and to address challenges with current immune-modulating treatments. A particular focus is placed on assessing the role of inflammation in the interplay with genetic events as established factors in disease initiation and progression to clarify the current understanding of inflammatory signaling in AML pathogenesis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/hem3.70188","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1002/hem3.70188","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:29.671Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/cssc.202500483","name":"Advances in Hydrogen-Driven Bicarbonate Conversion to Formic Acid and Formate Salts.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"According to a January 2025 report by the UK Met Office, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) levels are expected to reach 429.6 ppm in May, marking the highest concentration in over 2 million years. This alarming rise has intensified global efforts to mitigate climate change through carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies. A promising strategy is converting CO 2 into valuable chemicals such as formic acid and formate salts. Formic acid, in particular, is seen as a potential hydrogen carrier, addressing challenges in hydrogen storage and transport. However, the direct hydrogenation of CO 2 to formic acid is thermodynamically challenging due to the high stability. To overcome these barriers, researchers have explored alternative pathways, such as the reduction of bicarbonate (HCO 3 - ), which is more reactive and easier to handle. Bicarbonate can be sourced from CO 2 -rich streams like flue gases or seawater, simplifying capture and conversion. This review explores hydrogen-driven bicarbonate conversion via catalytic methods: electrocatalysis, thermocatalysis, photocatalysis, homogeneous, and enzymatic catalysis.

Existing analyses often provide case-specific insights based on short-term operations that do not encompass the full life cycle of reservoir exploitation. In contrast, we propose a novel, top-down approach based on mass and volume conservation, expanding system boundaries to include emissions from primary, secondary, and tertiary oil recovery phases -- the latter being CO2-EOR. Supported by field data, the analysis demonstrates that CO2-EOR cannot achieve carbon-neutral oil production. Only 30 % of projects produced carbon-neutral oil during EOR, but all of them were significantly carbon-positive when considering the full reservoir life-time. The volume occupied by the emitted CO2 exceeded by at least 3 times the pore space freed by reservoir fluids production, namely oil, water and gas. Considering CO2-EOR in isolation from earlier stages of oil production creates the temporal illusion of carbon-neutral oil, as significant water is co-produced during this phase, freeing storage space without causing direct emissions. The reservoir conditions when CO2-EOR is carried out, however, are the direct consequence of extensive oil extraction and water injection in earlier exploitation phases. Only residual oil zones may offer potential for carbon-neutral oil due to their low oil saturation and lack of legacy emissions. Although CO2-EOR may replace conventional oil production methods, potentially reducing carbon emissions, it risks promoting and perpetuating fossil fuel production, thereby undermining critical climate targets.","url":"https://doi.org/10.31223/x55x4s","authors":["Antonio Gasós","Ronny Pini","Viola Becattini","Marco Mazzotti"],"tags":["Carbon dioxide","Enhanced oil recovery","Carbon neutrality","Environmental science","Carbon fibers"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.31223/x55x4s","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.075Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.075Z"},{"id":"oa:W2129469195","name":"The soil N cycle: new insights and key challenges","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract. The study of soil N cycling processes has been, is, and will be at the centre of attention in soil science research.

Here, we review important insights with respect to the soil N cycle that have been made over the last decade, and present a personal view on the key challenges of future research. We identify three key challenges with respect to basic N cycling processes producing gaseous emissions: 1. quantifying the importance of nitrifier denitrification and its main controlling factors; 2. characterizing the greenhouse gas mitigation potential and microbiological basis for N2O consumption; 3. characterizing hotspots and hot moments of denitrification Furthermore, we identified a key challenge with respect to modelling: 1. disentangling gross N transformation rates using advanced 15N / 18O tracing models Finally, we propose four key challenges related to how ecological interactions control N cycling processes: 1. linking functional diversity of soil fauna to N cycling processes beyond mineralization; 2. determining the functional relationship between root traits and soil N cycling; 3. characterizing the control that different types of mycorrhizal symbioses exert on N cycling; 4. quantifying the contribution of non-symbiotic pathways to total N fixation fluxes in natural systems We postulate that addressing these challenges will constitute a comprehensive research agenda with respect to the N cycle for the next decade.

Key findings demonstrate that the shape of the bluff-body significantly influences the combustion outcomes, with cone-shaped designs showing the lowest radiation efficiency among the tested geometries.

The 60-degree angle is particularly effective, achieving approximately 44% radiation efficiency.

However, maintaining optimal microclimatic conditions for crop growth during the summer months poses significant challenges. These conditions often require intensive cooling, which is typically reliant on fossil fuel-based energy sources. This increases costs and environmental impact, highlighting the need for sustainable, energy-efficient cooling solutions. This study evaluates the performance of two passive, sustainable cooling strategies, Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE) and Rock-Bed System (RBS), which exploit subsurface thermal properties to control the canarian greenhouse microclimate. A comparative experimental study was conducted using two identical greenhouses equipped with either EAHE or RBS, alongside an uncooled control greenhouse. Lettuce was cultivated in all three, and microclimatic parameters, system efficiency, and crop performance were monitored. Results indicate that at 2:00 PM, average air temperatures at 1.5 meters were 29°C (RBS), 31°C (EAHE), and 40°C (control). Correspondingly, crop yield increased by 47.97% with RBS and 39.45% with EAHE compared to the control. The RBS greenhouse produced the highest plant growth metrics, 23 cm in height, 304.82 g in biomass, and 34 cm in diameter, followed by EAHE (21 cm, 287.28 g, and 31 cm), while the control greenhouse recorded the lowest values (19 cm, 206.14 g, and 19 cm).

Substantial natural decay was observed for particles smaller than 0.06 μ m, potentially confounding CADR interpretation in this range, while particles above 0.1 μ m exhibited concentration increases due to aggregation.

Improved performance is attributed to amino‐functions that enhance CO 2 binding and enable superior selectivity over N 2 and O 2 , achieving 8‐fold and 30‐fold improvements, respectively, in simulated CO 2 /N 2 and CO 2 /O 2 atmospheric ratios. In humid environments, NICS‐24 retained structural integrity but exhibited an 85 % reduction in CO 2 capacity due to competitive water adsorption. Breakthrough sorption experiments, atomistic NMR analysis, and DFT calculations revealed that water preferentially adsorbs over CO 2 due to strong hydrogen‐bonding interactions within the framework.

A New Paradigm for Observing and Modeling of Air-Sea Interactions to Advance Earth System Prediction 3This report culminates with a set of recommendations and roadmaps for their implementation in Chapter 4. The Study Group identified four strategies that answer our charge of producing a \"welldefined strategy to advance observing and modeling capabilities and understanding of air-sea interaction at all required scales for ESP.\" The four strategies are:• Develop observational and modeling technology for coupled ocean-atmosphere prediction.Advances in instrumentation, platforms, and parameterizations, as well as the collection, distribution, assimilation, and management of data, are all components of this strategy.These advances will permeate through each of the following strategies.• Observe the ASTZ in strategic regions.Measurements of the atmospheric, oceanic, and interfacial components of the ASTZ that are coincident in time and colocated within a given sampling space will address the needs for improved understanding of ocean-atmosphere scale interactions, parameterization development, model physics for ESP, and statistical information needed for CDA.• Expand observations of extremes and other challenging regimes.This strategy will require new ways of collecting ASTZ variables using technologies that can be quickly deployed in rapidly developing situations and the development of assets that can be positioned in climatologically important regimes that are challenging to sample at all or challenging to do so for a long time.This strategy will meet the need for societally relevant ESP on scales ranging from landfalling atmospheric rivers (ARs) or tropical cyclones to centuries-long global climate changes.• Develop a global observing network to monitor key air-sea coupling variables.This strategy focuses on ASTZ variables associated with air-sea surface fluxes and emphasizes the importance of collecting these measurements across the global oceans, while still adhering to the \"same time, same place\" guidelines outlined above.This strategy can be achieved with both in situ and remote measurements and will address the needs of constraining global surface flux estimates and improving the initialization of coupled forecast models.The recommended roadmaps for implementing these strategies are intended to be sequential, wherein longer-term action items follow the completion of shorter-term action items.While there is some overlap between the four strategies, each could be pursued individually or could be initiated at differing times.The Study Group recommends engaging the larger research and forecasting communities, including international partners, as well as funding agencies to put these strategies","url":"https://doi.org/10.2172/2222927","authors":["Carol Anne Clayson","USDOE","National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)","National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)","Charlotte DeMott","Simon de Szoeke","Ping Chang","Gregory Foltz","Raghavendra Krishnamurthy","Tong Lee","Andrea Molod","David Ortiz-Suslow","Julie Pullen","David Richter","Hyodae Seo","Patrick Taylor","Elizabeth Thompson","Bia Villas Bôas","Christopher J.

In a multi-parametric study, mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) optimizations are carried out for different design parameters, such as different loads, spans, concrete and steel classes, welded, IPE and HEA steel profiles, and different energy consumption cases. Different objective functions of the composite structure are defined for optimization, such as mass, direct cost, and energy life-cycle cost objective functions. Moreover, three different energy consumption cases are proposed for the energy life-cycle cost objective: an energy efficient case (50 kWh/m2), an energy inefficient case (100 kWh/m2), and a high energy consumption case (200 kWh/m2). In each optimization, the objective function of the structure is subjected to the design, load, resistance, and deflection (in)equality constraints defined in accordance with Eurocode specifications. The optimal results calculated with different criteria are then compared to obtain competitive composite designs. Comparative diagrams have been developed to determine the competitive spans of composite floor structures with three different types of steel I beam: those made of welded sections and those made of IPE or HEA sections, respectively. The paper also answers the question of how different objective functions affect the amount of the calculated costs and masses of the structures. It has been established that the higher (more wasteful) the energy consumption case is, the lower the obtained masses of the composite floor structures are. In cases with higher energy consumption, the energy life-cycle costs are several times higher than the costs determined in direct cost optimization. At the end of the paper, a recommended optimal design for a composite floor system is presented that has been developed on the multi-parametric energy life-cycle cost optimization, where the energy efficient case is considered. An engineer or researcher can use the recommendations presented here to find a suitable optimal composite structure design for a desired span and uniformly imposed load.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app112110316","authors":["Stojan Kravanja","Uroš Klanšek","Tomaž Žula"],"tags":["Structural engineering","Energy consumption","Eurocode","Welding","Composite number"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-11-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/app112110316","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.075Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.075Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409903825","name":"Compressed Air Energy Storage in Salt Caverns Optimization in Southern Ontario, Canada","source":"openalex","abstract":"Energy storage systems are gaining increasing attention as a solution to the inherent intermittency of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.

To optimize the best operating pressure range, stationary simulations are first conducted, followed by tightness evaluation and long-term stability simulation that assess plastic and creep deformation. The results indicate that a cylinder-shaped cavern with a diameter 1.5 times its height provides the best balance between storage capacity and structural stability. While ellipsoid shape reduces stress concentration significantly, it also leads to increased deformation in the shale interlayers, making them more susceptible to failure.

We investigate how Mexico might reverse current trends and reach its mitigation targets by exploring results from energy system and economic models involved in the CLIMACAP-LAMP project. To meet Mexico’s emission reduction targets, all modeling groups agree that decarbonization of electricity is needed, along with changes in the transport sector, either to more efficient vehicles or a combination of more efficient vehicles and lower carbon fuels. These measures reduce GHG emissions as well as emissions of other air pollutants. The models find different energy supply pathways, with some solutions based on renewable energy and others relying on biomass or fossil fuels with carbon capture and storage.

This review provides an overview about the advances in stratospheric aerosol research since the last comprehensive assessment of stratospheric aerosol was published in 2006. A crucial development since 2006 is the substantial improvement in the agreement between in situ and space-based inferences of stratospheric aerosol properties during volcanically quiescent periods. Furthermore, new measurement systems and techniques, both in situ and space based, have been developed for measuring physical aerosol properties with greater accuracy and for characterizing aerosol composition. However, these changes induce challenges to constructing a long-term stratospheric aerosol climatology. Currently, changes in stratospheric aerosol levels less than 20% cannot be confidently quantified. The volcanic signals tend to mask any nonvolcanically driven change, making them difficult to understand. While the role of carbonyl sulfide as a substantial and relatively constant source of stratospheric sulfur has been confirmed by new observations and model simulations, large uncertainties remain with respect to the contribution from anthropogenic sulfur dioxide emissions. New evidence has been provided that stratospheric aerosol can also contain small amounts of nonsulfate matter such as black carbon and organics. Chemistry-climate models have substantially increased in quantity and sophistication. In many models the implementation of stratospheric aerosol processes is coupled to radiation and/or stratospheric chemistry modules to account for relevant feedback processes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2015rg000511","authors":["Stefanie Kremser","L.

Environmental media affect the atmospheric oxidation processes of phenolic compounds (PhCs) released from biomass burning in the troposphere. To address the gaps in experimental research, phenol (Ph), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4-HBA), and vanillin (VL) are chosen as model compounds to investigate their reaction mechanism and kinetics at the air–water (A–W) interface, on TiO2 mineral aerosols, in the gas phase, and in bulk water using a combination of molecular dynamics simulation and quantum chemical calculations. Of the compounds, Ph was the most reactive one. The occurrence percentages of Ph, 4-HBA, and VL staying at the A–W interface are ∼ 72 %, ∼ 68 %, and ∼ 73 %, respectively. As the size of (TiO2)n clusters increases, the adsorption capacity decreases until n > 4, and beyond this, the capacity remains stable. A–W interface and TiO2 clusters facilitate Ph and VL reactions initiated by the O3 and HO⚫, respectively. However, oxidation reactions of 4-HBA are little affected by environmental media because of its electron-withdrawing group. The O3- and HO⚫-initiated reaction rate constant (k) values follow the order of A–WPh > TiO2 VL > A–WVL > A–W4-HBA > TiO2 4-HBA > TiO2 Ph and TiO2 VL > A–WPh > A–WVL > TiO2 4-HBA > TiO2 Ph > A–W4-HBA, respectively.

In the proposed method, VOF functions that are not 1 or 0 and exist at a certain distance from the interface are identified as flotsams and/or diffusion (Cad), and these VOF functions (Cad) are moved to the transition region around the interface, where the VOF value is between 0 and 1, using a conservative advection method to prevent flotsams and/or diffusion. Additionally, the proposed method allows for some control over the position to which Cad is moved within the transition region. As a result of applying the proposed anti-diffusion method to various benchmark tests and droplet problems, it was found that the proposed method effectively suppresses flotsams and/or diffusion while ensuring conservation. In some cases, the anti-diffusion method even improves interface capture accuracy. Furthermore, investigating the impact of the position to which Cad is moved revealed that when handling Cad occurring on the gas side (liquid side), moving Cad as far as possible from the gas side (liquid side) increases the effectiveness of flotsams suppression.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0223722","authors":["Kensuke Yokoi"],"tags":["Hyperbola","Physics","Tangent","Volume (thermodynamics)","Diffusion"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0223722","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.075Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.075Z"},{"id":"oa:W4399887245","name":"Remote sensing for wildfire monitoring: Insights into burned area, emissions, and fire dynamics","source":"openalex","abstract":"Remote sensing plays a central role in monitoring wildfires throughout their life cycle, including assessing pre-fire fuel conditions, characterizing active fire locations and emissions, and evaluating post-fire effects on vegetation, air quality, and climate.

Without welding, these industries utilize aluminum alloys for the manufacturing of many components or systems. However, fusion welding of aluminum alloys is challenging due to several factors, including the presence of non-heat-treatable alloys, porosity, solidification, and liquation of cracks. Many manufacturers adopt conventional in-air friction stir welding (FSW) to weld metallic alloys and dissimilar materials. Many researchers reported the drawbacks of this traditional in-air FSW technique in welding metallic and polymeric materials in general and aluminum alloys and aluminum matrix composites in specific. A number of FSW techniques were developed recently, such as underwater friction stir welding (UFSW), vibrational friction-stir welding (VFSW), and others, for welding of aluminum alloy joints to overcome the issues of welding using conventional FSW. Therefore, the main objective of this review is to summarize the recent trends in FSW process of aluminum alloys and aluminum metal matrix composites (Al MMCs). Also, it discusses the effect of welding parameters of the traditional and state-of-the-art developed FSW techniques on the welding quality and strength of aluminum alloys and Al MMCs. Comparison among the techniques and advantages and limitations of each are considered. The review suggests that VFSW is a viable option for welding aluminum joints due to its energy efficiency, economic cost, and versatile modifications that can be employed based on the application. This review also illustrated that significantly less attention has been paid to FSW of Al-MMCs and considerable attention is demanded to produce qualified joint.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s1003-6326(21)65730-8","authors":["John Victor Christy","Abdel‐Hamid I.

The current study investigated the associations between air pollution and asthma severity among individuals residing near the Sohar industrial port (SIP) in Oman. Despite the presence of multiple major industrial complexes in Oman, limited knowledge regarding their impact on respiratory health is accredited. Hence, the primary objective of this study is to offer valuable insights into the respiratory health consequences of industrial air pollution in Al Batinah North. Methods: The state health clinics’ records for patient visits related to asthma were collected for the timeframe spanning 2014 to 2022. Exposure was defined as the distance from the SIP, Majan Industerial Area (MIA), and Sohar Industerial Zone (SIZ) to determine high-, intermediate-, and low-exposure zones (<6 km, 6–12 km and >12 km, respectively). Exposure effect modifications by age, gender, and smoking status were also examined. Results: The conducted cross-sectional study of 410 patients (46.1% males and 53.9% females) living in over 17 areas around SIP revealed that 73.2% of asthmatics were under 50 years old, with severity significantly associated with closeness to the port. Risk ratios were estimated to be (RR:2.42; CI95%: 1.01–5.78), (RR:1.91; CI95%: 1.01–3.6), and (RR:1.68; CI95%: 0.92–3.09) for SIP, MIP, and SIZ areas, respectively, compared to the control area. Falaj Al Qabail (6.4 km) and Majees (6 km) had the highest number of asthma patients (N 69 and N 72) and highest percentages of severe asthma cases among these patients (28% and 24%) with significant risk ratios (RR:2.97; CI95%: 1.19–7.45 and RR:2.55; CI95%: 1.00–6.48), correspondingly. Moreover, severe asthma prevalence peaked in the 25–50 age group (RR:2.05; CI95%: 1.26–3.33), and this linkage between asthma and age was much more pronounced in males than females. Smoking and exposure to certain contaminants (dust and smoke) also increased the risk of severe asthma symptoms, but their effects were less important in the high-risk zone, suggesting much more important risk factors. A neural network model accurately predicted asthma risk (94.8% accuracy), with proximity to SIP as the most influential predictor. Conclusions: This study highlights the high asthma burden near SIP, linked to port proximity, smoking, and wind direction as major risk factors. These findings inform vital public health policies to reduce air pollution and improve respiratory health in the region, prompting national policy review.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph21050553","authors":["Souad Al-Okla","Fatima Al Zahra Khamis Al Rasbi","Hawida Said Al Marhubi","Shima Salim Al Mataani","Yusra Mohammed Al Sawai","Hasa Ibrahim Mohammed","Muna Ali Salim Al Mamari","Salwa Abdullah Abdulrahim Al Balushi","Abdul Qader Abbady"],"tags":["Asthma","Medicine","Cross-sectional study","Environmental health","Air pollution"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph21050553","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.075Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.075Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401809424","name":"The rise of electrically tunable metasurfaces","source":"openalex","abstract":"Metasurfaces, which offer a diverse range of functionalities in a remarkably compact size, have captured the interest of both scientific and industrial sectors.

Unfortunately, the high energy needed for these rates and thicknesses intensifies the heating and cooling cycles inherent to Arc-DED.

Shortly after fertilization, upregulation of Xist RNA from one X chromosome initiates XCI, leading to chromosome-wide gene silencing. XCI is maintained in all cell types, except the germ line and the pluripotent state where XCI is reversed. The mechanisms triggering Xist upregulation have remained elusive. Here we identify GATA transcription factors as potent activators of Xist. Through a pooled CRISPR activation screen in murine embryonic stem cells, we demonstrate that GATA1, as well as other GATA transcription factors can drive ectopic Xist expression. Moreover, we describe GATA-responsive regulatory elements in the Xist locus bound by different GATA factors. Finally, we show that GATA factors are essential for XCI induction in mouse preimplantation embryos. Deletion of GATA1/4/6 or GATA-responsive Xist enhancers in mouse zygotes effectively prevents Xist upregulation.

The mean ER values for ASPP, SBPP, and SCPP were 94.76%, 85.42%, and 83.46%, respectively, with the ASPP showing improvements of 10.93% and 13.54% over SBPP and SCPP. However, the SBPP and SCPP exhibited greater emergence uniformity than ASPP. The mean PY value was 37,205.25, 32,973.75, and 34,620 kg·ha−1 for ASPP, SBPP, and SCPP. The ASPP outperformed the SBPP and SCPP by 12.83% and 7.47%. Overall, ASPP demonstrated balanced and superior performance across the above-mentioned indicators, demonstrating its potential to enable precision agriculture in tuber crop cultivation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/agriculture15161714","authors":["Xiaoxin Zhu","Pinyan Lyu","Qiang Gao","Haiqin Ma","Yuxuan Chen","Yu Qi","Jicheng Li","Jinqing Lyu"],"tags":["Seeding","Sowing","Randomized block design","Suction","Seedling"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/agriculture15161714","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4405726272","name":"Comparative Analysis of the Corrosion and Mechanical Behavior of an Al-SiC Composite and AA 2024 Alloy Fabricated by Powder Metallurgy for Aeronautical Applications","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study presents a comparative analysis of the corrosion and mechanical properties of an Al-SiC composite and an AA 2024 aluminum alloy, focusing on their suitability for aeronautical applications. The Al-SiC composite was fabricated using advanced powder metallurgy techniques, incorporating a 20% volume of silicon carbide (SiC) particles, averaging 1.6 µm in size, to enhance its structural and electrochemical performance. Electrochemical evaluations in an aerated 3.5% NaCl solution revealed a significant improvement in the corrosion resistance of the Al-SiC composite. This enhancement is attributed to the cathodic nature of the SiC particles, which promote the formation of a protective aluminum oxide layer, reducing pitting corrosion and preserving the material’s structural integrity. In terms of the mechanical properties, the Al-SiC composite demonstrated a higher yield strength and ultimate tensile strength compared to the AA 2024 alloy. While it exhibited a slightly lower elongation at failure, the composite maintained a favorable balance between strength and ductility. Additionally, the composite showed a higher Young’s modulus indicating improved resistance to deformation under load. These findings underscore the potential of the Al-SiC composite for demanding aerospace applications, offering valuable insights into the development of materials capable of withstanding extreme operational environments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/met14121462","authors":["Willian Aperador","Jonnathan Aperador","Giovany Orozco-Hernández"],"tags":["Materials science","Powder metallurgy","Alloy","Corrosion","Metallurgy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-20","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/met14121462","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4401991778","name":"Empowering London Primary School Communities to Know and Tackle Air Pollution Exposure","source":"openalex","abstract":"This study tested the effectiveness of participatory methods to engage primary school communities in London with air pollution issues to help them identify, understand, and reduce their air pollution exposure.

This study examines how this sensitivity is represented in the CMIP6 models. Results show regional differences and even contrasts in the β trends at interannual scales between climate models and two reanalysis products during 1980–2014. At high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere (NH), β is stronger in the CMIP6 models than in the reanalysis data. Additionally, the β trends differ between the CMIP6 and reanalysis data, which may be related to the different precipitation (PR) and soil water availability (PR-ET) trends between the models. In the regions of increasing β intensity at high latitudes in the NH, sST is more sensitive to PR and PR-ET. Consequently, increasing PR and PR-ET leads to slower sST changes, potentially making β intensity stronger in CMIP6 models. However, in the reanalysis data, decreases in PR and PR-ET accelerate sST changes, leading to a weakening of the β intensity. A resulting implication is that β, based on high-emission scenarios, shows a stronger trend during 2015–2100, although this trend could potentially be overestimated. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the sensitivity of T to sST and facilitate the assessment of energy exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere in climate models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41612-024-00588-3","authors":["Yumeng Qiao","Guojie Wang","Daniel Fiifi Tawia Hagan","Kenny Thiam Choy Lim Kam Sian","Liangzhi Chen","Juha Aalto","Shijie Li","Xiao Ping Zou","Jiao Lu"],"tags":["Environmental science","Surface air temperature","Climatology","Sensitivity (control systems)","Atmospheric sciences"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-17","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41612-024-00588-3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409591644","name":"Multivariate covalent organic frameworks with tailored electrostatic potential promote nitrate electroreduction to ammonia in acid","source":"openalex","abstract":"The direct synthesis of ammonia from nitrate (NO3–) reduction in acid is a promising approach for industrialization.

Here, we systematically explore and rationally optimize the microenvironment using multivariate covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as catalyst adlayers to promote the nitrate-to-ammonia conversion in acid. With the application of tailored positive electrostatic potential generated over the multivariate COFs, both the mass transfer of NO3– and H+ are regulated via appropriate electrostatic interactions, thus realizing the priority of NO3RR with respect to HER or NO3–-to-NO2–. As a result, an NH3 yield rate of 11.01 mmol h–1 mg–1 and a corresponding Faradaic efficiency of 91.0% are attained, and solid NH4Cl with a high purity of 96.2% is directly collected in acid; therefore, this method provides a practical approach for economically valorising wastewater into valuable ammonia. Ammonia electrosynthesis from nitrate reduction direct in acid is restricted by intense competition with hydrogen evolution. Here, a heterogeneous catalyst adlayer composed of multivariate covalent organic frameworks is reported to regulate the microenvironment and promote acidic nitrate reduction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-59052-2","authors":["Qiyang Cheng","Sisi Liu","Yanzheng He","Mengfan Wang","Haoqing Ji","Yunfei Huan","Tao Qian","Chenglin Yan","Jianmei Lu"],"tags":["Ammonia","Covalent bond","Nitrate","Multivariate statistics","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-19","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-59052-2","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4413257661","name":"Numerical and experimental investigation of the solar air heater with latent heat storage and fin","source":"openalex","abstract":"In current numerical work, a mathematical model for an air collector with latent heat storage is established and solved using the finite difference method.

The unique thermo-physical properties of hydrogen can facilitate the design of a highly efficient internal combustion engine. However, they also introduce additional challenges in modeling the related igniting and burning process. For instance, in tabulated chemistry models like the Flamelet Generated Manifold (FGM), the high diffusivity of hydrogen often prevents the control variables from being monotonic. To overcome this problem, a method combining zero-dimensional (0D) homogeneous reactors and one-dimensional (1D) flamelets (HR-FGM) has recently been developed and validated. In the present paper, this method is extended to high-pressure conditions, enabling the simulation of reacting direct-injections of auto-igniting pure hydrogen flames including preferential diffusion in Large Eddy Simulation (HR-FGM-LES). Different injection pressures and ambient conditions are simulated and the results are compared and validated against the experimental literature available. Good agreement is found in terms of the ignition delay and flame dynamics confirming the effectiveness of the HR-FGM. In particular, it is shown that the proposed method achieves ignition delay predictions within 4 % and 13 % and flame propagation within 8 % and 15 % of the corresponding experimental values for the cases of high and low ambient temperature, respectively. However, the upstream retention rate is overestimated by a factor of 2. Furthermore, a numerical analysis reveals that the first igniting kernel appears in the mid-jet region and on the very lean side because such area corresponds to the longest residence time, with the most reactive mixture fraction and a low scalar dissipation rate.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2025.134933","authors":["A.

The conceptualization of wicked problems guides the structure of this review along two dimensions of policymaking: the policy dimension, which concerns problem definitions and objectives, and policy solutions. The politics dimension reflects stakeholders and their perception of problems and interests. We show that the respective research has gained momentum in the past 15 years, but it still has a strong focus on inventorying policies or policy instruments, policy evaluations or impact assessments, and behavioural analyses, as well as investigations of the global governance architecture and the need for a new multilateral environmental agreement (MEA). In contrast, systematic assessments of policy efficacy or country-level plastic policy performance are still rare. Likewise, studies about the politics dimension, i.e. on actors involved in policymaking and their policy beliefs and preferences, are still scant. However, both aspects are crucial in the light of a new MEA, as its success and effectiveness strongly hinge on the capacity and willingness of countries to comply with MEA obligations, i.e. adopt and implement respective policies at the national and local levels. Hence, future research should focus more on politics instead of policy to provide new insights into the feasibility of the different policy options, and it should work more on systematic evaluations of policy instruments along the life cycle of plastics and country performances.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10113-025-02420-x","authors":["Marlene Kammerer","Till Beer","Ruth Wiedemann"],"tags":["Plastic pollution","Nature Conservation","Pollution","Climate change","Environmental planning"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10113-025-02420-x","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W3118411982","name":"Unconventional mitigation","source":"openalex","abstract":"If the EU wants to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, enacting conventional climate change mitigation measures to avoid emissions of greenhouse gases will not be enough. To compensate for unavoidable residual emissions, unconventional measures to remove CO2 from the atmosphere will also be necessary - for example, through afforestation or the direct cap­ture of CO2 from ambient air. Not all member states and economic sectors will have achieved green­house gas neutrality by 2050; some will already need to be below zero by then. The option of CO2 removal from the atmosphere will allow greater flexibility in climate policy, but will also raise new distributional issues. Avoiding greenhouse gas emissions should be given political priority over the subsequent removal of CO2. Net zero targets should be explicitly divided into emission reduction targets and removal targets, instead of simply off­setting the effects of both approaches. The future development of an EU CO2 removal policy should be structured by adequate policy design. Whether the EU chooses a proactive or cautious entry pathway in the medium term will depend not least on the net nega­tive targets it assumes for the period after 2050. In the coming years, the EU should focus on investing more in research and development of CO2 removal methods and gaining more practical experience in their use. Only if the EU and its members actually succeed in convincingly combin­ing conventional emission reductions and unconventional CO2 removals to reach net zero will the EU be able to live up to its status as a pioneer in climate policy.

This paper addresses this gap in research and practice by presenting the development and use of quantitative scenarios using an integrated transport-energy-environment systems model to explore four contrasting futures for Scotland that compare transport-related ‘lifestyle’ changes and socio-cultural factors against a transition pathway focussing on transport electrification and the phasing out of conventionally fuelled vehicles using a socio-technical approach. We found that radical demand and supply strategies can have important synergies and trade-offs between reducing life cycle greenhouse gas and air quality emissions. Lifestyle change alone can have a comparable and earlier effect on transport carbon and air quality emissions than a transition to EVs with no lifestyle change. Yet, the detailed modelling of four contrasting futures suggests that both strategies have limits to meeting legislated carbon budgets, which may only be achieved with a combined strategy of radical change in travel patterns, mode and vehicle choice, vehicle occupancy and on-road driving behaviour with high electrification and phasing out of conventional petrol and diesel road vehicles.

We measured laminar flame speed of various NH3/DEE blends (DEE, 10–40% by mole) using a constant volume spherical vessel at Ti = 298 K and Pi = 3 and 5 bar and Φ = 0.8–1.3. We developed a detailed kinetic model to describe the trends of the current and previously published experimental data. For the robustness of the model, we first developed a comprehensive diethyl ether kinetic mechanism to accurately characterize neat DEE oxidation behavior. We validated the kinetic model using a large pool of experimental data comprising shock tube, rapid compression machine, jet-stirred and flow reactors, freely propagating, and burner-stabilized premixed flames. The developed kinetic model performs remarkably in capturing the combustion behavior of pure DEE and NH3. Importantly, our model captures the experimental data of laminar flame speed and ignition delay times of various NH3/DEE blends over a wide range of conditions. We found that DEE is a promising candidate to promote the combustion characteristics of NH3. A small portion of DEE (10%) enhances the laminar flame speed of NH3 by a factor of 2 at Pi = 1 bar, Ti = 298 K, and Φ = 1.0. A further doubling of the DEE mole fraction to 20% did not enhance the laminar flame speed of NH3 with the same propensity. At low temperatures, adding 5% DEE in NH3 blend has significantly expedited the system reactivity by lowering the autoignition temperature. A further 5% increment of DEE (i.e., 10% DEE in NH3) lowers the autoignition temperature by ∼120 K to achieve the same ignition delay time. The “NONO2” looping mechanism predominantly drives such reactivity accelerating effect. Here, the reactions, NO + HO2 = NO2 + OH and NO2 + H = NO + OH, appear to enhance the reactive radical pool by generating OH radicals. We observed that the HNO path is favored more with increasing DEE content which eventually liberates NO. Other key reactions in “NONO2” looping mechanism are: CH3 + NO2 = CH3O + NO, CH3O2 + NO = CH3O + NO2, C2H5 + NO2 = C2H5O + NO, C2H5O2 + NO = C2H5O + NO2. In addition, CH3 + NH2(+M) = CH3NH2(+M) reaction is also one of the important cross-reactions which leads to the formation of HCN. Therefore, cross-reactions between the nitrogen and carbon family are crucial in accurately predicting autoignition timing. This work provides a detailed chemical insight into the NH3 and DEE interaction, which could be applied to other fuel blends of NH3. The kinetic model is also validated for several C1C3 fuels including their interaction with NOx.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfueco.2022.100051","authors":["Krishna Prasad Shrestha","Binod Raj Giri","Ayman M.

The friction between the droplets and air results in positive charge accumulation on the droplet surface, which leads to ROS production from the water while smaller, negatively charged droplets escape from the surface.

Over the 20th century, numerous attempts were made to investigate the feasibility of the concept, which demonstrated numerous early benefits: increased aerodynamic efficiency, reduced fuel consumption and lower noise and pollutant emissions compared to conventional tube and wing aircraft. However, major technical challenges prevented that type of design from entering mass production, especially with regards to structural design and manufacturing, stability and control and ride quality. In the 1990’s, a new concept, the blended wing body (BWB), was created to alleviate some of the concerns of flying wings while maintaining increased efficiency. Despite the promise, technical hurdles once again proved to be a deal breaker, and as of 2024, the only flying wing to enter serial production is the B-2 Spirit, an extremely complex and expensive aircraft. Thirty years later, as the world is quickly transitioning towards cleaner energy, the interest in the blended wing body has been renewed. The latest technological advancements in the aerospace industry should make the development of the BWB more plausible, however passenger comfort issues remain. Surprisingly, the BWB development may come from an unexpected application: as a tanker aircraft. As the U.S. Air Force is seeking a replacement to hundreds of aging tankers, a startup company was recently funded to develop the concept and build a prototype. In this study, we explore the history of blended designs from its early days, highlighting its opportunities and challenges – and why the design is an intriguing fit for application as a tanker aircraft.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202405.0053.v1","authors":["Guilherme Fernandes","Víctor Maldonado"],"tags":["Wing","Aeronautics","Environmental science","Aerospace engineering","Engineering"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202405.0053.v1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400442186","name":"To help with climate change, carbon capture will have to evolve","source":"openalex","abstract":"More than 200 kilometers off Norway's coast in the North Sea sits the world's first offshore carbon-capture-and-storage project. Built in 1996, the Sleipner project strips carbon dioxide from natural gas — largely made up of methane — to make it marketable. But instead of releasing the CO2 into the atmosphere, the greenhouse gas is buried.The effort stores around 1 million metric tons of CO2 per year — and is praised by many as a pioneering success in global attempts to cut greenhouse gas emissions.Last year, total global CO2 emissions hit an all-time high of around 35.8 billion tons, or gigatons. At these levels, scientists estimate, we have roughly six years left before we emit so much CO2 that global warming will consistently exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius above average preindustrial temperatures, an internationally agreed-upon limit. (Notably, the global average temperature for the past 12 months has exceeded this threshold.)Phasing out fossil fuels is key to cutting emissions and fighting climate change. But a suite of technologies collectively known as carbon capture, utilization and storage, or CCUS, are among the tools available to help meet global targets to cut CO2 emissions in half by 2030 and to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. These technologies capture, use or store away CO2 emitted by power generation or industrial processes, or suck it directly out of the air. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations body charged with assessing climate change science, includes carbon capture and storage among the actions needed to slash emissions and meet temperature targets.Carbon capture, utilization and storage technologies often capture CO2 from coal or natural gas power generation or industrial processes, such as steel manufacturing. The CO2 is compressed into a liquid under high pressure and transported through pipelines to sites where it may be stored, in porous sedimentary rock formations containing saltwater, for example, or used for other purposes. The captured CO2 can be injected into the ground to extract oil dregs or used to produce cement and other products.Governments and industry are betting big on such projects. Last year, for example, the British government announced £20 billion (more than $25 billion) in funding for CCUS, often shortened to CCS. The United States allocated more than $5 billion between 2011 and 2023 and committed an additional $8.2 billion from 2022 to 2026. Globally, public funding for CCUS projects rose to $20 billion in 2023, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), which works with countries around the world to forge energy policy.Given the urgency of the situation, many people argue that CCUS is necessary to move society toward climate goals. But critics don't see the technology, in its current form, shifting the world away from oil and gas: In a lot of cases, they point out, the captured CO2 is used to extract more fossil fuels in a process known as enhanced oil recovery. They contend that other existing solutions such as renewable energy offer deeper and quicker CO2 emissions cuts. \"It's better not to emit in the first place,\" says Grant Hauber, an energy finance adviser at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, a nonpartisan organization in Lakewood, Ohio.

In this study, a methodology for the characterization of the emission profiles of the different sources present in landfills for emission factors determination, applying an indirect methodology, is presented. Ambient air concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) were determined in three potentially emission sources in Can Mata landfill (Hostalets de Pierola, Catalonia, Spain): dumping areas, pre-closed zone and leachate reservoir as well as in biogas, for the determination of emission factors. Multi-sorbent bed and Tenax TA tubes were used for a wide range of VOCs sampling, and analysis was conducted through TD-GC/MS. H2S and NH3 were sampled and analysed using Radiello passive samplers. The highest total VOC (TVOC) concentrations were found in dumping areas (0.7-3.5 mg m-3), followed by leachate reservoir (0.3-0.6 mg m-3) and pre-closed area (77-165 μg m-3). On the other hand, the highest H2S and NH3 concentrations were found in leachate reservoir, presenting values of 0.8-1.1 mg m-3 and 1.7-1.8 mg m-3, respectively. With the application of odour thresholds to the concentrations obtained, the most critical compounds regarding odour annoyances were determined. The highest odour units (O.U.) were found in leachate reservoir due to H2S concentrations, whereas VOCs contributed mainly to O.U. in the dumping areas. The obtained ambient air concentrations were used for the indirect determination of the emission factors through numerical modelling using an Eulerian dispersion model. The emission factors obtained for the landfill for TVOC, H2S and NH3 were in the range 0.44-10.9 g s-1, 0.16-1.02 g s-1 and 0.23-1.82 g s-1, respectively, depending on the emission source. Reliable emission factors are crucial to obtain landfill impact maps, which are essential for the correct management of these facilities.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124047","authors":["Eva Gallego","José Francisco Perales Lorente","N.

This work details the design and testing of a PPT for use on satellites in the upper atmosphere. Testing was conducted at a variety of pressures and pulsing energies to determine which conditions provide maximum thrust and thrust to power ratios (TPR). It was found through single pulse experiments that a pressure of 6.3 hPa (corresponding to an altitude of about 35 km) and an energy per pulse of 9 J yield a TPR of 21 mN/kW. High frequency operation at 20 Hz in similar conditions showed a TPR of up to 28 mN/kW with a corresponding thrust of 4.8 mN. High speed imaging of the plasma plume found plasma velocities in excess of 2 km/s and identified metal ejecta with velocities up to 350 m/s. The pinching phenomenon associated with a DPF was also observed and a plasma jet velocity up to 50 km/s was recorded. The TPR of the TAMU PPT demonstrated in this work is comparable to that of other ABEP thrusters, however the TAMU PPT has an advantage when comparing thrust density.

In this paper, we propose a decarbonization roadmap for Singapore based on an analysis of Singapore’s energy landscape and a technology mapping exercise. This roadmap consists of four major components. The first component, which also underpins the other three components, is using centralized post-combustion carbon capture technology to capture and compress CO2 emitted from multiple industrial sources in Jurong Island. The captured CO2 is then transported by ship or an existing natural gas pipeline to a neighboring country, where it will be stored permanently in a subsurface reservoir. Important to the success of this first-of-a-kind cross-border carbon capture and storage (CCS) project is the establishment of a regional CCS corridor, which makes use of economies of scale to reduce the cost of CO2 capture, transport, and injection. The second component of the roadmap is the production of hydrogen in a methane steam reforming plant which is integrated with the carbon capture plant.

A Demand and Capacity Balancing (DCB) model is used to simulate adverse weather and re-optimise the cancellation, delay, and rerouting of flights. The model’s feasibility and effectiveness were evaluated under 20 concentrated and randomly occurring extreme disruption scenarios, lasting 2 h and 4 h. The results show that the network is vulnerable to extended weather events that target the network’s most central waypoints. However, the network demonstrates resilience to weather disruptions lasting up to two hours, maintaining operational status without any flight cancellations. As the scale of disruption increases, the network’s resilience decreases. Notably, there exists a threshold beyond which further escalation in disruption scale does not significantly impair the network’s performance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/aerospace11110921","authors":["Tianyu Zhao","Jose Javier Escribano Macias","Mingwei Zhang","Shenghao Fu","Yuxiang Feng","Mireille Elhajj","Arnab Majumdar","Panagiotis Angeloudis","Washington Ochieng"],"tags":["Resilience (materials science)","Air traffic control","Computer science","Transport engineering","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-08","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/aerospace11110921","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400412090","name":"Air Quality Predictions through Mathematical Modeling for Iron Ore Mine Project","source":"openalex","abstract":"Mathematical modeling was deployed to predict air quality during the construction and operation phases of an iron ore mine project in Maharashtra, India.

Baseline air quality data, emission rates, local meteorology, and terrain information were used to simulate the ground-level concentrations. The simulation predicted SPM and PM10 peaks of 172 µg/m3 and 44 µg/m3, respectively. The prediction was within the prescribed limits of the national standards of 200 µg/m3 and 100 µg/m3, respectively, near the source, with minor exceedances in total SPM in two nearby villages and an impact on air quality due to proposed mining. Accordingly, mitigation strategies towards such villages were recommended and implemented. Later, the monitoring in the operation phase revealed that particulate matter could be controlled effectively with mitigation strategies and ensured compliance with air quality standards. The analysis also revealed strong correlations between the particulate matter and the distance of the localities and SPM and PM10.

This study proposes a novel gray‐box modeling framework to quantify the effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities on the wetlands, by combining process‐based and machine learning models. The developed model is utilized to project the Anzali coastal wetland shrinkage by simulating the complex interaction between the meteorological, hydrological, anthropogenic and sea water level characteristics, and the changes in wetland water surface area. Our framework aggregates Soil and Water Assessment Tool model, the 12 General Circulation Models of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6, Landsat imagery, and the Long Short‐Term Memory model to project the shrinkage of the wetland till 2100. A comprehensive range of climate and Land Use/Cover change scenarios are analyzed. The results show that wetland will seasonally desiccate in 2058, mainly due to increasing air temperature, reduction in precipitation and inflow, excessive sediment loading to the wetland, and decline in the Caspian Sea level. For optimistic scenarios, where no changes in the Caspian Sea level is considered, the wetland will gradually diminish and become a seasonal waterbody by 2100. The outcomes of this study highlight that the Anzali wetland desiccation has profound implications for the regional‐scale ecological balance, ecosystem health and function, public health, and local economy. Robust environmental interventions and sustainable development strategies are urgently needed to mitigate the detrimental impacts of climate and anthropogenic drivers on the wetland.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2023jd039538","authors":["Mehran Mahdian","Roohollah Noori","Mazaher Salamat‐Talab","Essam Heggy","Sayed M.

To address this, this study leverages a Digital Twin (DT) framework to augment Remote ID spatio-temporal broadcasts, emulating the sensing environment of dense urban airspace. Using Remote ID data, we propose BiDGCNLLM, a hybrid prediction framework that integrates a Bidirectional Graph Convolutional Network (BiGCN) with Dynamic Edge Weighting and a reprogrammed Large Language Model (LLM, Qwen2.5–0.5B) to capture spatial dependencies and temporal patterns in drone speed trajectories. The model forecasts near-future speed variations in surrounding drones, supporting proactive conflict avoidance in constrained air corridors. Results from the AirSUMO co-simulation platform and a DT replica of the Cranfield University campus show that BiDGCNLLM outperforms state-of-the-art time series models in short-term velocity prediction. Compared to Transformer-LSTM, BiDGCNLLM marginally improves the R2 by 11.59%. This study introduces the integration of LLMs into dynamic graph-based drone prediction.

Tobacco use is estimated to be responsible for more than 90000 deaths each year in Italy. We aimed to evaluate the annual direct economic impact on the National Health System of hospitalizations attributable to tobacco smoking in Italy. METHODS: We analyzed data from all the hospitalizations of patients aged ≥30 years that occurred in Italy for 12 selected tobacco-related diseases, during 2018. These diseases included oropharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, laryngeal cancer, ischemic heart disease, stroke, diseases of arteries, arterioles, and capillaries, pneumonia and influenza, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We obtained information on 984322 hospital discharge records, including each hospitalization's direct costs. Using relative risk estimates from the scientific literature, we computed the population attributable fraction for various tobacco-related diseases to estimate the economic impact attributable to tobacco smoking. RESULTS: One-third of all hospitalizations occurred in 2018 in Italy among people aged ≥30 years for 12 tobacco-related diseases were found to be attributable to smoking, accounting for a total cost of €1.64 billion. Among the diseases considered, those with the highest expenditures attributable to tobacco smoking were ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and lung cancer, accounting for €556 million, €290 million, and €229 million, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Tobacco has a substantial economic impact in Italy, accounting for around 6% of the total cost of hospitalizations in 2018. This figure is expected to be largely underestimated due to several conservative assumptions adopted in the statistical analyses. It is imperative to prioritize comprehensive tobacco control measures to counteract the huge healthcare costs due to tobacco smoking.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18332/tid/188111","authors":["Irene Possenti","Marco Scala","M Rognoni","Alessandra Lugo","Maria Sofia Cattaruzza","Sabrina Molinaro","Anna Odone","Luc Smits","Vincenzo Zagà","Silvano Gallus","Luca Cavalieri d’Oro"],"tags":["Medicine","Lung cancer","Attributable risk","Disease","Population"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.18332/tid/188111","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402166077","name":"Novel eco-friendly and easily recoverable bismuth-based materials for capturing and removing polyphenols from water","source":"openalex","abstract":"Olive oil production is one of the most developed Europe's sectors, producing olive oil and undesirable by-products, such as olive mill wastewater (OMWW) and organic waste. OMWW, containing large amounts of compounds (mainly polyphenols, phenols, and tannins), represents a problem. In fact, polyphenols have dual nature: i) antioxidant beneficial properties, useful in many industrial fields, ii) biorefractory character making them harmful in high concentrations. If not properly treated, polyphenols can harm biodiversity, disrupt ecological balance, and degrade water quality, posing risks to both environment and human health. From a circular economy viewpoint, capturing large quantities of polyphenols to reuse and removing their residuals from water is an open challenge. This study proposes, for the first time, a new path beyond the state-of-the-art, combining adsorption and degradation technologies by novel, eco-friendly and easily recoverable bismuth-based materials to capture large amounts of two model polyphenols (gallic acid and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid), which are difficult to remove by traditional processes, and photodegrade them under solar light. The coupled process gave rise to collect 98% polyphenols, and to rapidly and effectively photodegrade the remaining portion from water. • Sustainable easily recoverable bismuth-based materials are facilely prepared. • Bi 3+ -modified alginate spheres can recover effectively gallic acid in water. • Polyphenols structure determines the varied adsorption capacities of the composites. • BiOBr/magnetic alginates can remove the residual traces of polyphenols. • Bismuth-based materials enable coupled capture and removal of gallic acid from water.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.122365","authors":["Melissa Greta Galloni","Vasilissa Nikonova","G.

This study presents a comprehensive spatio-temporal analysis of VTEC modulation before, during, and after the storm, focusing on hemispheric asymmetries and longitudinal variations. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the spatial and temporal modulation of VTEC under extreme geomagnetic conditions, assess the hemispheric asymmetry and longitudinal disruptions, and evaluate the influence of geomagnetic indices on storm-time ionospheric variability. The indices examined reveal intense geomagnetic activity, with the dst index plunging to −412 nT, the Kp index reaching 9, and significant fluctuations in the auroral electrojet indices (AE, AL, AU), all indicative of severe space weather conditions. The results highlight storm-induced hemispheric asymmetries, with positive storm effects (VTEC enhancement) in the Northern Hemisphere and negative storm effects (VTEC depletion) in the Southern Hemisphere. These anomalies are primarily attributed to penetration electric fields, neutral wind effects, and composition changes in the ionosphere. The storm’s peak impact on DoY 132 exhibited maximum disturbances at ±90° and ±180° longitudes, emphasizing the role of geomagnetic forces in plasma redistribution. Longitudinal gradients were strongly amplified, disrupting the usual equatorial ionization anomaly structure. Post-storm recovery on DoY 136 demonstrated a gradual return to equilibrium, although lingering effects persisted at mid- and high latitudes. These findings are crucial for understanding space weather-induced ionospheric perturbations, directly impacting GNSS-based navigation, communication systems, and space weather forecasting.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos16050529","authors":["Sanjoy Kumar Pal","Soumen Sarkar","Kousik Nanda","Aritra Sanyal","Bhuvnesh Brawar","Abhirup Datta","Stelios M.

The current study aimed to assess the effectiveness of interventions for the reduction of potential child exposure to TRAP at the school gates and on the school commute. This study employed dispersion modelling to assess the effects of interventions for reducing TRAP concentrations in the vicinity of five schools in England. The results revealed that all interventions led to reductions in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations. Improved travel routes were the most effective intervention for reducing concentrations along travel routes, while the introduction of low-emission zones (LEZs) proved most effective in reducing NO2 concentrations at schools, with greater effectiveness observed at shorter distances. Active travel also demonstrated effectiveness, particularly in areas with heavy traffic. When considering all receptors, LEZ implementation, active travel, and rideshare interventions exhibited effectiveness, with greater distance providing greater reductions in NO2 concentrations. Anti-idling was found to be more effective in sparsely populated areas. Combined with improved travel routes, anti-idling showed the greatest percentage difference in concentrations, followed by active travel, and rideshare.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/urbansci8040192","authors":["L Brown","Enda Hayes","Jo Barnes"],"tags":["Psychological intervention","Air pollution","Environmental health","Reduction (mathematics)","Pollution"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/urbansci8040192","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W3033117260","name":"Reviewing Usage, Potentials, and Limitations of Renewable Energy Sources","source":"openalex","abstract":"The world’s ever-increasing population, combined with economic and technological growth and a new, modern way of life, has led to high energy demand and consumption.

To obtain an effective plan for reducing emissions, a comprehensive modeling approach that accounts for the dynamics of clusters and their interactions with the broader energy system is needed. In light of the aforementioned considerations, the present study develops and applies a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model with a one-year hourly resolution to optimize technology selection and operation in two existing ammonia-ethylene clusters. The findings show that significant emission reduction is possible with close-to-market technologies that bridge electrification, green hydrogen, and carbon capture and storage, yet reaching zero emission is not possible. Moreover, the optimal CO 2 reduction strategies are highly cluster-specific and contingent upon the availability of a critical infrastructure. For instance, emissions can increase by up to 118% in the absence of a CO 2 transport and storage infrastructure, because separated CO 2 from reformer syngas cannot be stored or further utilized. While process integration can improve cost-effective CO 2 mitigation, reducing costs by 9–%11% and emissions by 29%–54%, it also limits operational flexibility. The developed framework offers a valuable tool for identifying cluster designs and robust CO 2 emission reduction strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.4c03817","authors":["Julia L.

We employed high-resolution motion capture in the laboratory and stereo-videography in the field to reconstruct the 3D kinematics of insect flights around artificial lights. Contrary to the expectation of attraction, insects do not steer directly toward the light. Instead, insects turn their dorsum toward the light, generating flight bouts perpendicular to the source. Under natural sky light, tilting the dorsum towards the brightest visual hemisphere helps maintain proper flight attitude and control. Near artificial sources, however, this highly conserved dorsal-light-response can produce continuous steering around the light and trap an insect. Our guidance model demonstrates that this dorsal tilting is sufficient to create the seemingly erratic flight paths of insects near lights and is the most plausible model for why flying insects gather at artificial lights.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-44785-3","authors":["Samuel T.

We examined the relationship between chemical species known to contribute to air pollution and assault human health and chemosensory sensitivity. Chemosensory sensitivity data was retrieved from a large-scale study involving 711 urban-dwelling participants inhabiting 10 different regions of the globe. Their olfactory threshold towards phenyl ethyl alcohol (PEA) and olfactory/trigeminal threshold towards Eucalyptol was measured in a multicentre study. We matched the individual chemosensory data with the levels of PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, SO2, CO at the location of testing sites, on the exact date of the test, using EMAC (ECHAM5/MESSy for Atmospheric Chemistry) model. Our findings indicate that air pollution negatively affects olfactory function and has cumulative negative effects with aging. The reported patterns are seasonal and increase during Autumn and Winter, and interact with medical conditions related to poorer olfactory function. We extend the current knowledge by demonstrating that olfactory/trigeminal perception is also disrupted by toxic air, albeit in a slightly different manner. The analyzed models promote a more complex perspective on the relationship between air composition and chemosensory sensitivity, but delineate problems related to the interdependence of the levels of chemical species constituting air pollution and using them together to predict chemosensory sensitivity. Conclusions point to the need to investigate the problem of air pollution and chemosensory health from a global perspective, as air quality partly accounts for the differences in chemosensory perception in different regions of the world.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-75067-z","authors":["Anna Oleszkiewicz","Andrea Pozzer","Jonathan Williams","Thomas Hummel"],"tags":["Air pollution","Perception","Air quality index","Perspective (graphical)","Olfactory system"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-75067-z","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403465772","name":"Microwave-powered integrated carbon capture and utilisation (ICCU) for methane production with rapid temperature response from minimal thermal inertia","source":"openalex","abstract":"• Microwave energy was developed to drive the ICCU-methanation process. • The novel technology shows rapid temperature response from minimal thermal inertia. • A possible rate-enhancing mechanism of the microwave-powered system was proposed. • The microwave-powered CO 2 capture capacity over Ni-CaO-20 DFM was 3.31 mmol g DFM -1 . • CO 2 conversion and CH 4 selectivity reached 71.01% and 98.17% with Ni-CaO-20 DFM.

The high temperature inlet air and atmosphere are realized in the bench-scale furnace. Ammonia and methane in the fraction of 30%-NH3 and 70%-CH4 based on lower heating value, corresponding volumetric fraction of 55%-NH3 and 45%-CH4 is used as fuel under the fixed thermal input of 40-kW. On the furnace, the nozzle burner is installed in which fuel nozzles are installed inner side of the annular air nozzle, and furthermore, injection nozzles called “F2 nozzle” are installed on the top side of the furnace to inject NH3 separately from the air. To stabilize the combustion field, CH4 is injected from the burner for all cases. Results of exhaust gas measurements show that over 1000ppm of NOx is emitted for NH3 burner injection, however, in the case F2#1-NH3 injection from x = 0.3-m where x is the distance from the burner, NOx is drastically decreased to 464ppm even with high temperature inlet air and atmosphere. NOx concentration is further decreased by increasing the distance of the F2-NH3 nozzle from the air, then, NOx is reduced to 160ppm for F2#6-NH3 injection which is located at 3.3-m from the burner air. Furthermore, unburned NH3 and N2O are not detected for all cases of examined. As a result of species measurement inside the furnace for F2#6 NH3 injection case, it is found that the O2 concentration is significantly low at the upstream of NH3 injection position, thus, injecting NH3 into the low O2 concentration region is considered to be effective to reduce NOx even for NH3 combustion with high temperature inlet air and atmosphere.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1299/jtst.24-00347","authors":["Daisuke Shimokuri","Tomohisa MIYAKE","Yuji WAKATA","Apurba SHARMA","Tsukasa KISHIMURA","T.

The curved surface structure of leaves plays a critical role in the deposition and retention of pesticide droplets. In this study, wind tunnel experiments combined with high-speed photography and digital image analysis were conducted to systematically investigate the curvature and flexibility distributions of three typical crop leaves: walnut, peach, and pepper, across a range of wind speeds. The results indicate that with increasing wind speed, all three types of leaves gradually transition from smooth, uniform bending to a multi-peak pattern of pronounced local curvature, with increasingly prominent nonlinear deformation characteristics. Moreover, once the wind speed exceeds the critical threshold of 6 m/s, the primary deformation region generally shifts from the leaf base to the tip. For example, the maximum curvature of walnut leaves increased from 0.018 mm−1 to 0.047 mm−1, and that of pepper leaves from 0.031 mm−1 to 0.101 mm−1, both more than double their original values. In addition, all three types of leaves demonstrated a distinct structural gradient characterized by strong basal rigidity and high apical flexibility. The tip flexibility values exceeded 1.5 × 10−5, 4 × 10−4, and 5.6 × 10−4 mm−2·mN−1 for walnut, peach, and pepper leaves, respectively. These findings elucidate the mechanical response mechanisms of non-uniform flexible crop leaves under wind-induced bending and provide a theoretical basis and data support for the optimization of air-assisted spraying parameters.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/horticulturae11091002","authors":["Zhouming Gao","Jing Ma","Wei Hu","Kaiyuan Wang","Kuan Liu","Jian Chen","Tao Wang","Xiaoya Dong","Baijing Qiu"],"tags":["Crop","Agronomy","Horticulture","Environmental science","Biology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-23","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/horticulturae11091002","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4414887256","name":"Defect-modulated oxygen adsorption and Z-scheme charge transfer for highly selective H2O2 photosynthesis in pure water","source":"openalex","abstract":"Solar-driven H2O2 production provides an eco-friendly and scalable alternative to conventional anthraquinone processes.

Here we report a Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst constructed by in-situ growth of sulfur-deficient ZnIn2S4 nanosheets onto UiO-66-NH2 (a zirconium-based metal-organic framework). This heterojunction promotes efficient charge separation while retaining strong redox capability, and sulfur vacancies regulate O2 adsorption into a configuration that suppresses O-O bond cleavage and favors 2e- ORR. As a result, the composite achieves a high H2O2 production rate of 3200 μmol g-1 h-1 with 94.3% selectivity in pure water under ambient air and visible light. A continuous-flow prototype exhibits stable performance for over 200 h, and the generated H2O2 solution enables direct bacteria disinfection.

Our findings highlight a synergistic strategy of tuning charge dynamics and O2 adsorption configurations for designing next-generation systems for sustainable H2O2 production and water disinfection.

Further, habitat selection in dynamic environments can influence migration behavior, interacting with other management objectives such as water quality and habitat restoration. As a case study, we examined a novel acoustic telemetry data set for Lake Whitefish in Lake Erie, where they migrate through multiple spatial management units that are variably affected by seasonal hypoxia and host a variety of fisheries. Combining telemetry results with fishery catch and water quality monitoring, we demonstrate three exploitation risk scenarios: (i) high risk due to high residency and high catch, (ii) high risk due to high residency in time-areas with moderate catch, and (iii) low risk due to residency in time-areas with low catch. Interestingly, occupation of low risk refugia was increased by the development of hypoxia in adjacent areas.

A result of this trend is a rise in micro-mobility solutions such as e-scooters in cities around the globe. Nottingham (UK) is one of the cities that conducted an e-scooter pilot scheme permitting the rental of e-scooters to travel around the city in a bid to encourage more sustainable personal transport use. However, to ensure pedestrian safety, e-scooters are required to be ridden on the road network among cars. Hence, giving rise to two potential risks for e-scooter users: the air quality that they breathe and the physical risk of being near cars, whose drivers may be unfamiliar with seeing e-scooters on the road. This study seeks to explore this interaction using a mixed methods approach to explore the experiences of e-scooter riders in respect to their physical safety and exposure to air pollution. The research makes use of two quantitative surveys an international e-scooter user survey n = 801 and a survey of UK car drivers n = 92, focussed qualitative e-scooter rider interviews and quantitative in-depth road data collection trials comprising of air quality particulate sensing, video capturing around the rider and GPS tracking. The in-depth road data was analysed using an AI approach utilising the ASPS approach, the automated sensor and signal processing approach, implemented for image and signal processing to detect the existence of cars alongside the pollution readings. The findings show that e-scooter riders are typically aware of physical dangers to their safety from other road users, as well as how their presence among pedestrians can impact on more vulnerable users; however, they were unaware of the prevalence and effects of air pollution on them whilst riding. The study highlights the need for a multifaceted approach to improvements in safety for micro-mobility users, predominately considering suitable infrastructure to sperate them from motor vehicles and pedestrians but also the need to consider the proximity to emission emitting vehicles, developing infrastructure in green spaces to address these air pollution levels. • Electric and clean energy transportation technologies are key in future NetZero cities. • This paper uses a mixed methods approach including Artificial Intelligence to address risks to e-scooter users. • Risk to e-scooter users include air pollution from fossil-fuel cars and physical risk. • The results indicate a better strategy is required to ensure the safety of e-scooter users. • The improved strategy could include training, dedicated spaces, improved visibility, and the use of helmets.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2024.124282","authors":["Amin Al‐Habaibeh","Matthew Watkins","Bubaker Shakmak","Maryam Bathaei Javareshk","Séamus Allison"],"tags":["Transport engineering","Air quality index","Pedestrian","Sustainable transport","Quality (philosophy)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2024.124282","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4412156234","name":"Mechanistic Studies of Oxidative Degradation in Diamine-Appended Metal–Organic Frameworks Exhibiting Cooperative CO 2 Capture","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Understanding the impact of O 2 during a carbon capture process is vital for designing robust, cost-effective materials for carrying it out. However, mechanistic studies of the O 2 -induced degradation of materials are not easily undertaken owing to the complex sequential reaction pathways that arise. Here, we report comprehensive mechanistic investigations of the O 2 -induced degradation of diamine-appended metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibiting cooperative CO 2 adsorption. Oxygen exposure experiments were performed on seven different diamine-appended MOFs, including e-2–Mg 2 (dobpdc) (e-2 = N -ethylethylenediamine, dobpdc 4– = 4,4′-dioxidobiphenyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate), under various temperatures and O 2 pressures. These experiments show that diamine degradation inhibits CO 2 chemisorption and that the degradation rate is significantly influenced by the diamine structure. In contrast, the parent frameworks remain essentially intact upon O 2 exposure. Detailed characterization of O 2 -exposed e-2–Mg 2 (dobpdc) revealed the formation of various degradation products, including acetaldehyde, carbon dioxide, water, ethylamine, and other aldehyde- and imine-containing species. Together, these observations suggest that diamine degradation occurs via C–N bond cleavage through pathways involving C-centered radicals. Furthermore, computational evaluation of the initiation and propagation pathways for amine degradation in diamine-appended MOFs indicates that (i) degradation is likely initiated by OH •, (ii) carbon-centered radicals generated via radical transfer reactions react with O 2, leading to amine degradation, and (iii) the rate-limiting step of the degradation reactions likely involves O–O bond cleavage. Overall, these mechanistic insights could inform strategies for mitigating O 2 -induced amine degradation in next-generation carbon capture technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5c07551","authors":["Shuoyan Xiong","Alistair J.

The operating modes of a wind farm largely depend on meteorological phenomena, the intensity and duration of which cause suboptimal operating modes of wind farms, which require the use of modern tools for forecasting and classifying precipitation. The methods and approaches used to predict meteorological phenomena are well known. However, for designed and operated wind farms, the influence of meteorological phenomena on the operating modes, such as freezing rain and hail, remains an urgent problem. This study presents a multi-layered neural network for the classification of precipitation zones, designed to identify adverse meteorological phenomena for wind farms according to weather stations. The neural network receives ten inputs and has direct signal propagation between six hidden layers. During the training of the neural network, an overall accuracy of 81.78%, macro-average memorization of 81.07%, and macro-average memorization of 75.05% were achieved. The neural network is part of an analytical module for making decisions on the application of control actions (control of the boundary layer of the atmosphere by injection of silver iodide, ionization, etc.) and the formation of the initial conditions for CFD modeling. Using the example of the Ulyanovsk wind farm, a study on the movement of air masses in the area of the wind farm was conducted using the initial conditions of the neural network. Digital models of wind turbines and terrain were created in the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ software package, version 2022.1; an approach based on a LES model using an actuating drive disk model (ADM) was implemented for modeling, allowing calculation with an error not exceeding 5%. According to the results of the modeling of the current layout of the wind turbines of the Ulyanovsk wind farm, a significant overlap of the turbulent wake of the wind turbines and an increase in the speed deficit in the area of the wind farm were noted, which significantly reduced its efficiency. A shortage of speed in the near and far tracks was determined for special cases of group placement of wind turbines.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17163961","authors":["Vladislav N.

Interest in alternative aviation fuels is growing, as the sector seeks viable options to reduce increasing GHG emissions. For biofuels non-biogenic emissions arise from cultivation, harvesting and transport of the feedstock, as well as from their conversion into biofuel. It is important to consider whether any emissions reductions benefits are justified by the energy efficiency of each alternative. This article is focussed on American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) certifiable alternative drop-in biojet fuels [1] , i.e. non-fossil hydrocarbon fuels which have (i) the same chemical structure and (ii) can be blended with conventional jet fuels, (iii) can use the same jet fuel supply infrastructure, and (iv) do not require modification of the aircraft. The results indicate that the biofuels studied tended to exhibit lower GHG than conventional jet fuels although indirect effects or existing uses of materials were not included in this study. Some biofuels performed better at reducing GHG than others (for example biofuels from wastes and residues). A large and important effect on emissions is seen due to land type used for cultivation and whether methane capture is used for certain pathways. GHG savings results vary due to the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodology chosen for dealing with emissions and co-products. Certain pathways are notably more energy intensive than others and strong GHG reduction does not always coincide with high energy efficiency. An overview of industry initiatives and critical EU legislation relating to aviation biofuels is given. The insights from this work are expected to be of use for decision-makers considering investment options in this sector.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2018.11.033","authors":["Adrian O’Connell","Marina Kousoulidou","Lonza Laura","Werner Weindorf"],"tags":["Greenhouse gas","Biofuel","Jet fuel","Aviation biofuel","Fossil fuel"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-12-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2018.11.033","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4402838973","name":"Direct loss‐based seismic design of low‐rise base‐isolated reinforced concrete buildings","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract This paper proposes a procedure to design low‐rise base‐isolated structures achieving a specific target level of earthquake‐induced loss (e.g., dollars, downtime) while complying with a predefined minimum level of structural reliability. The procedure is “direct” since the target loss is specified at the first step of the process, and virtually no design iterations are required. Direct loss‐based design (DLBD) is enabled by a simplified loss assessment module involving: (1) surrogate probabilistic seismic demand models representing the probability distribution of peak horizontal displacements and accelerations on top of the isolation layer conditional on different ground‐motion intensity levels; (2) approximations of the superstructure response; (3) simplified consequence models for isolation system and superstructure based on damage‐to‐loss ratios (economic loss or repair time); (4) simplified consequence models for acceleration‐ and drift‐sensitive non‐structural components, based on storey loss functions of a potential inventory of components. Given some basic geometrical parameters of the superstructure, DLBD provides the isolation system's force‐displacement curve and the required superstructure's strength complying with a selected loss target. The members' structural detailing follows the principles of direct displacement‐based design, sectional analysis, and the general theory of base isolation. The procedure is illustrated by designing six reinforced concrete wall buildings (two‐, three‐, and four‐storeys) base isolated with lead rubber bearings, to achieve predefined targets of expected repair time. Repair time is benchmarked against a more refined method adopting a cloud‐based non‐linear time history analysis, finding a maximum underestimation of 17%, thus confirming the dependability of DLBD. Such error is almost entirely attributable to the simplified estimation of peak floor accelerations, and it could be potentially eliminated by refining such estimation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/eqe.4238","authors":["Diego Suarez","Gian Michele Calvi","Roberto Gentile"],"tags":["Structural engineering","Seismic analysis","Reinforced concrete","Base isolation","Base (topology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/eqe.4238","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4414701630","name":"Explainable Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Air Pollution Risk Assessment and Respiratory Health Outcomes: A Systematic Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Air pollution is a leading environmental risk that causes respiratory morbidity and mortality. The increasing availability of high-resolution environmental data and air pollution-related health cases have accelerated the use of machine learning models (ML) to estimate environmental exposure–response relationships, forecast health risks and call for the needed policy and practical interventions. Unfortunately, ML models are opaque, in a sense that, it is unclear how these models combine various data inputs to make a concise decision. Thus, limiting its trust and use in clinical matters. Explainable artificial intelligence (xAI) models offer the necessary techniques to ensure transparent and interpretable models. This systematic review explores online data repositories through the lens of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline to synthesize articles from 2020 to 2025. Various inclusion and exclusion criteria were established to narrow the search to a final selection of 92 articles, which were thoroughly reviewed by independent researchers to reduce bias in article assessment. Equally, the ROBINS-I (Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions) domain strategy was helpful in further reducing any possible risk in the article assessment and its reproducibility. The findings reveal a growing adoption of ML techniques such as random forests, XGBoost, parallel lightweight diagnosis models and deep neural networks for health risk prediction, with SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) emerging as the dominant technique for these models’ interpretability. The extremely randomized tree (ERT) technique demonstrated optimal performance but lacks explainability. Moreover, the limitations of these models include generalizability, data limitations and policy translation. This review’s outcome suggests limited research on the integration of LIME (Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations) in the current ML model; it recommends that future research could focus on causal-xAI-ML models.

This paper presents a calibration study of the LCS network of Timișoara, Romania. The calibration began by selecting LCS devices near National Air Quality Monitoring Network (NAQMN) stations and developing parametric models, choosing the best for broader application. Plantower, Sensirion, and Honeywell sensors showed comparable accuracy. Calibration involved clusters within a 750 m radius around NAQMN stations.

However, efficient separation of algae from the aqueous medium is crucial. The present work investigated the stability of Scenedesmus sp. in treated acid drainage from coal mining and assessed the harvesting of microalgae via coagulation/flocculation and dissolved air flotation (DAF). Successful algae growth was achieved, with cells remaining suspended in the water at a wide range of pH values, requiring the use of reagents for destabilization/aggregation. Algae coagulation/flocculation was attained with the use of tannin or ferric chloride associated with an anionic polymer flocculant at a pH of 8.0 ± 0.1.

However, measures such as enhanced airtightness, while reducing infiltration through the building envelope, might consequently reduce natural ventilation. This reduction is a critical concern because natural ventilation is an essential factor in controlling indoor air quality (IAQ), and its diminution could therefore worsen IAQ. Sick building syndrome has emerged as a term used to describe health hazards linked to the time spent indoors but with no particular cause. Since people spend most of their time indoors, the demand for continuous and real-time IAQ management to reduce human exposure to pollutants has increased considerably. In this context, low-cost sensors (LCS) for IAQ monitoring have become popular, driven by recent technological advancements and increased awareness regarding indoor air pollution and its negative health impacts. Although LCS do not meet the performance requirements of reference and regulatory equipment, they provide informative measurements, offering high-resolution monitoring, emission source identification, exposure mitigation, real-time IAQ assessment, and energy efficiency management. This perspective article proposes a general model for LCS systems (and subsystems) implementation and presents a prospective analysis of their strengths and limitations for IAQ management, reviews the literature regarding sensor system technologies, and offers design recommendations. It provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the field of IAQ and discusses future trends.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/s25247567","authors":["Sérgio Ivan Lopes","Cezary Orłowski","Pedro T.

In order to solve the problem of too large a pressure loss in SAH, an innovative SAH with sinusoidal baffles was proposed on the basis of folded baffle and semi-circular baffle air heaters. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation calculation was performed for the SAH with sinusoidal baffles, and the relevant parameters, such as the heat collection efficiency and the pressure loss, were analyzed. The results showed that the sinusoidal baffle had a better heat collection performance and a smaller pressure loss compared to the folded baffle and the semi-circular baffle. A sinusoidal baffle can further improve the thermal performance of SAH. The simulation calculation of wave lengths for sinusoidal baffles revealed that when the wavelength value was 200 mm, the SAH had the best heat collection effect, and the heat collection efficiency was 64.49%. On the basis of determining the wavelength, the wave height of the sinusoidal baffle was studied. When the wave height was 30 mm, the minimum pressure loss of the SAH was 17.51 Pa, and the maximum heat collection efficiency was 64.91%. Analyses and research on the Reynolds number of the air inlet showed that as the Reynolds number increased, the collection efficiency and internal pressure loss gradually increased, while the outlet temperature decreased. The curve fitting of the imported Reynolds number and the pressure loss showed that the accuracy of pressure loss fitting curve is 0.997.

We used a two-stage analysis strategy, with a quasi-Poisson regression model and a random effects meta-analysis, to assess the effects of PM2.5 on mortality in the 47 counties of BTH. We found that the mean daily PM2.5 levels and the SO42− component ratio dramatically decreased in the study period, which was likely related to the control of coal emissions. Subsequently, the acute effects of PM2.5 were significantly decreased for total and circulatory mortality. A 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 concentrations was associated with a 0.16% (95% CI: 0.08, 0.24%) and 0.02% (95% CI: −0.09, 0.13%) increase in mortality from 2013 to 2015 and from 2016 to 2018, respectively.

Advancements in reinforcement learning and imitation learning algorithms have demonstrated that agents may learn complex behavior from data, which could be faster and more scalable than manual methods. Yet, making adaptive agents capable of performing tactical maneuvers and operating weapons and sensors still poses a significant challenge. The survey examines applications, behavior model types, prevalent machine learning methods, and the technical and human challenges in developing adaptive and realistically behaving agents. Another challenge is the transfer of agents from learning environments to military simulation systems and the consequent demand for standardization. Four primary recommendations are presented regarding increased emphasis on beyond-visual-range scenarios, multi-agent machine learning and cooperation, utilization of hierarchical behavior models, and initiatives for standardization and research collaboration. These recommendations aim to address current issues and guide the development of more comprehensive, adaptable, and realistic machine learning-based behavior models for air combat applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2404.13954","authors":["Patrick Ribu Gorton","Andreas Strand","Karsten Bråthen"],"tags":["Computer science","Air combat","Artificial intelligence","Machine learning","Simulation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-22","doi":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2404.13954","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W2992961002","name":"A review: Water pollution by heavy metal and organic pollutants: Brief review of sources, effects and progress on remediation with aquatic plants","source":"openalex","abstract":"Heavy metals and organic pollutants are ubiquitous environmental pollutants affecting the quality of soil, water and air.

This review addresses the multiple effects of drought on the process of photosynthesis in major food crops. Affecting both light-dependent and light-independent reactions, drought leads to severe damage to photosystems and blocks the electron transport chain. Plants face a CO2 shortage provoked by stomatal closure, which triggers photorespiration; not only does it reduce carbon fixation efficiency, but it also causes lower overall photosynthetic output. Drought-induced oxidative stress generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage cellular structures, including chloroplasts, further impairing photosynthetic productivity. Plants have evolved a variety of adaptive strategies to alleviate these effects. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) mechanisms help dissipate excess light energy as heat, protecting the photosynthetic apparatus under drought conditions. Alternative electron pathways, such as cyclical electron transmission and chloroplast respiration, maintain energy balance and prevent over-reduction of the electron transport chain. Hormones, especially abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene, and cytokinin, modulate stomatal conductance, chlorophyll content, and osmotic adjustment, further increasing the tolerance to drought. Structural adjustments, such as leaf reordering and altered root architecture, also strengthen tolerance. Understanding these complex interactions and adaptive strategies is essential for developing drought-resistant crop varieties and ensuring agricultural sustainability.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/plants13131808","authors":["Meiyu Qiao","Conghao Hong","Yongjuan Jiao","Sijia Hou","Hongbo Gao"],"tags":["Photosynthesis","Agronomy","Drought tolerance","Drought stress","Drought resistance"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/plants13131808","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410996813","name":"Self-powered sensing platform based on triboelectric nanogenerators towards intelligent mining industry","source":"openalex","abstract":"Gold’s crucial role in economic and technological developments has driven the industry towards underground mining, with air quality concerns challenging workers’ safety. Currently, commercial solutions to assess air quality and safety in underground mines often suffer from low accuracy, high installation and maintenance costs, without providing data on noxious gases. To address these limitations, we developed a triboelectric self-powered sensing-platform (TESS) employing two distinct triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) modules to achieve power generation and wind-speed sensing function, with an ultra-low starting wind speed (0.32 m s−1), capable of operating for up to 3 months in underground mining tunnels. Wind-sensing capabilities are accrued by a horizontal turbine based on non-contact TENGs. Meanwhile, the TESS is powered by a distinct array of TENGs that operates via a new working mode, balancing the advantages of contact-separation and free-standing modes. Assisted by an optimized self-driven power management system, the TESS attains a charging power density of 16.36 mW m−2; this power is delivered every 166 s to a sensor node (temperature, relative humidity, pressure, and concentrations of CO, NO2, NH3), a data processing unit, and a LoRa transmitter.

Reviews conducted to date have not considered in detail the methods applied when deploying PM 2.5 sensors to measure indoor air quality, nor did they focus on HAP. A review of HAP PM 2.5 measurement studies in SSA was conducted, focusing on measurement methods in order to understand how monitors have been deployed in the region.

Common themes in methodologies, assessing their effectiveness, and gaps in future research were highlighted. The findings highlight a considerable lack of research into HAP in the region where there is both an increasing population and an increase in the use of unclean fuels. A lack of standardisation in measurement practices was also identified. A key finding is the necessity for calibration of low-cost sensors against reference instruments within the region where they are deployed and calibrated against specific emission sources.

AM technologies can produce parts on-demand, repair damaged components, and provide an increased freedom of design not previously attainable by traditional manufacturing techniques. The increasing maturation of metal AM is attracting high-value industries to directly produce components for use in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and energy fields. Two leading processes for metal part production are Powder Bed Fusion with laser beam (PBF-LB/M) and Directed Energy Deposition with laser beam (DED-LB/M). Despite the many advances made with these technologies, the highly dynamic nature of the process frequently results in the formation of defects. These technologies are also notoriously difficult to control, and the existing machines do not offer closed loop control. In the present work, the application of various Machine Learning (ML) approaches and in-situ monitoring technologies for the purpose of defect detection are reviewed. The potential of these methods for enabling process control implementation is discussed.

However, the optimized design of a heliostat field is a rather complex problem because the annual performance of a heliostat is a function of not only the instants of time considered and its own position, but also the relative location of neighbouring heliostats, which cause shadows and blockings. A variety of procedures may be found in the open literature, although there is great lack of information on the details of an optimized layout. This review shows that these complex problems have partially led to the expansion of parabolic trough technologies in USA and Spain in spite of their lower thermodynamic efficiencies compared with solar tower power. As a modest support of SPT systems, the authors have presented elsewhere the abilities of a new code called campo for fast and accurate calculations of the shadowing and blocking factor for each and every heliostat. This work explores a review of the optimized heliostat field layouts yielded by campo. Campo commences the optimization search based on the densest layout, with the worst shadowing and blocking factor, but with good values for the other optical factors, and then progresses towards gradually expanded distributions. The search for maximum annual energy through campo results in a clear, steady and reproducible procedure. Finally, as an example of this new procedure, some options of optimized heliostat field layouts are reviewed using as input parameters the scarce open literature data on Gemasolar, the first solar power tower commercial plant with molten salt storage in the world.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2012.11.076","authors":["Francisco Javier Conde Collado","Jesús Guallar"],"tags":["Heliostat","Parabolic trough","Tower","Code (set theory)","Field (mathematics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-12-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2012.11.076","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W2981299204","name":"Modelling large scale airgun-bubble dynamics with highly non-spherical features","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2019.103143","authors":["Shuai Li","Devaraj van der Meer","A‐Man Zhang","Andréa Prosperetti","Detlef Lohse"],"tags":["Bubble","Mechanics","Froude number","Jet (fluid)","Physics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-10-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2019.103143","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4391230747","name":"Research on ionization characteristics of atmospheric pressure pulse-modulated microwave He/air plasma jet","source":"openalex","abstract":"The atmospheric pressure pulsed microwave He plasma jet has the advantages of high electron density and abundant active particles, but its shrinking on the discharge electrode morphology limits its application range.

He and air were, respectively, injected into the inner and outer gas channels of the resonator to generate a double-layer atmospheric pressure microwave plasma jet with a longer plume. It is observed that the bifurcation of the stratified plasma jet will occur by changing the gas flow. The ionization development of plasma jet was observed by using enhanced charge-coupled device and microwave Rayleigh scattering apparatus measured the space-time evolution of plasma and observed the three times ionization enhancement process of plasma jet development. The spectral lines of the active products associated with Penning ionization were observed by using a fiber optic spectrometer. A fluid model was constructed to simulate and analyze that under the condition of sufficient He flow rate (He flow rate is above 0.6 slm), there will be sufficient and stable He mole fraction (64%) at the stratification of the plasma jet. The experimental and simulation results show that the jet profile of the microwave He plasma is related to the inlet structure of the discharger and He flow rate. Stratified intake structure can produce stratified He plasma jet, and the unique appearance of bifurcation of jet can be produced by changing the flow rate of He. In the bifurcation process of the plasma jet, the product of Penning ionization inhibits the development of the main branch of the plasma jet, and the secondary electron avalanche of the local electric field promotes the formation of the branch of the plasma jet and is accompanied by the enhancement of the second ionization. The ionization mechanism of microwave He plasma is the resonance excitation of local enhanced electric field, the advance of ionizing waves, and the interaction between the spatially distributed active particles.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0187795","authors":["Lu Zhang","Zhaoquan Chen","Binbin Chu","Xueliang Wang","Denghui Bao","Sile Chen","Chao Wang","Xinpei Lu"],"tags":["Plasma","Atomic physics","Ionization","Atmospheric-pressure plasma","Jet (fluid)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-25","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0187795","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4397002375","name":"Facile synthesis of anthranilic acid based dual functionalized novel hyper cross-linked polymer for promising CO2 capture and efficient Cr3+ adsorption","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract A novel hyper cross-linked polymer of 2-Aminobenzoic acid (HCP-AA) is synthesized for the adsorption of Cr3+ and CO2.

In the early stages of infectious disease outbreaks, analyses using flight passenger data to identify countries at risk of importing the pathogen are common and can help inform disease control efforts. A challenge faced in this modelling is that the latest aviation statistics (referred to as contemporary data) are typically not immediately available. Therefore, flight patterns from a previous year are often used (referred to as historical data). We explored the suitability of historical data for predicting the spatial spread of emerging epidemics. METHODS: We analysed monthly flight passenger data from the International Air Transport Association to assess how baseline air travel patterns were affected by outbreaks of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), Zika and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) over the past decade. We then used a stochastic discrete time susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered (SEIR) metapopulation model to simulate the global spread of different pathogens, comparing how epidemic dynamics differed in simulations based on historical and contemporary data. RESULTS: We observed local, short-term disruptions to air travel from South Korea and Brazil for the MERS and Zika outbreaks we studied, whereas global and longer-term flight disruptions occurred during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. For outbreak events that were accompanied by local, small and short-term changes in air travel, epidemic models using historical flight data gave similar projections of the timing and locations of disease spread as when using contemporary flight data. However, historical data were less reliable to model the spread of an atypical outbreak such as SARS-CoV-2, in which there were durable and extensive levels of global travel disruption. CONCLUSION: The use of historical flight data as a proxy in epidemic models is an acceptable practice, except in rare, large epidemics that lead to substantial disruptions to international travel.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jtm/taae062","authors":["Jack Wardle","Sangeeta Bhatia","Anne Cori","Pierre Nouvellet"],"tags":["Medicine","Air travel","Travel medicine","Infectious disease (medical specialty)","Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jtm/taae062","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4392906326","name":"Source emission contributions to particulate matter and ozone, and their health impacts in Southeast Asia","source":"openalex","abstract":"Southeast Asia has been experiencing severe air pollution due to its substantial local emissions and transboundary air pollution (TAP), causing significant health impacts.

We employ a sophisticated deep learning structure to develop an advanced system for ambient air quality prediction. We utilize three publicly available databases and real-world data to obtain accurate air quality measurements. These four datasets undergo a data cleaning to yield a consolidated, cleaned dataset.

This method aids in selecting weighted features, optimizing weights, and choosing the most relevant attributes for optimal results. These optimal features are then incorporated into the Multiscale Depth-wise Separable Adaptive Temporal Convolutional Network (MDS-ATCN) for the ambient Air Quality Prediction (AQP) process. The variables within MDS-ATCN are further refined using the proposed FEO-PFA to enhance predictive accuracy. An empirical analysis is performed to compare the efficacy of our proposed model with traditional methods, underscoring the superior effectiveness of our approach.

However, the ETP usually leads to the formation of oligomers and the reduction of oxidants to anions. Herein, the charge-confined Fe single-atom catalyst (Fe/SCN) with Fe-N3S1 configuration was designed to achieve ETP-mediated contaminant activation of the oxidant by limiting the number of electrons gained by the oxidant to generate 1O2. The Fe/SCN-activate periodate (PI) system shows excellent contaminant degradation performance due to the combination of ETP and 1O2. Experiments and DFT calculations show that the Fe/SCN-PI* complex with strong oxidizing ability triggers the ETP, while the charge-confined effect allows the single-electronic activation of PI to generate 1O2. In the Fe/SCN + PI system, the 100% selectivity dechlorination of ETP and the ring-opening of 1O2 avoid the generation of oligomers and realize the transformation of large-molecule contaminants into small-molecule biodegradable products. Furthermore, the Fe/SCN + PI system shows excellent anti-interference ability and application potential.

We show that gantry size could be reduced by a factor of 2–3 compared to conventional gantry systems by utilizing pulsed air-core magnets.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00340-014-5796-z","authors":["Umar Masood","Michael Bußmann","T.

Presently, there is a growing interest in using tear samples in place of blood. Tear samples can be obtained non-invasively and collection does not require the skills of a trained phlebotomist. Red blood cells and other cells are not present in tears, which avoids centrifugation. Importantly, basal tear samples contain most of the biomarkers present in blood. The difficulty is the small volume of basal tears, which is about 7 μL in each eye. Any contact with the eye results in additional reflex tears with a different chemical composition. The small tear samples are collected with capillary tubes and then sent out for amplified assays, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results are not available for several days or a week and, therefore, are less useful in an ophthalmology office. We propose the use of a contact lens that contains bound antibodies for fluorescence immunoassays. The lenses could be removed from the patient for point-of-care measurements at the bedside. To prove that this concept is possible, we performed a three-layer protein capture assay that mimics an immunoassay. For convenience, we used lysozyme (Lys), which spontaneously coats silicon hydrogel (SiHG) contact lenses (CL). Anti-lysozyme IgG was the second layer captured, with anti-lysozyme considered to be the target biomarker. The third layer was rhodamine or Alexa Fluor-labeled Ab against the IgG Fc region, considered to be the detection antibody. The multiple protein layers were stable and did not wash off the SiHG lenses. These results strongly suggest the contact lens can be used for capture immunoassays for a wide variety of biomarkers.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/bios15050326","authors":["Kundan Sivashanmugan","E.

These LTC concepts are particularly attractive for decarbonizing conventional diesel engines using renewable fuels such as methanol. This paper uses numerical simulations and a finite-rate chemistry model to investigate the combustion and emission processes in LTC engines operating with pure methanol. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of the physical and chemical processes in the engine and to identify optimal engine operation in terms of efficiency and emissions. The simulations replicated the experimentally observed trends for CO, unburned hydrocarbons (UHCs), and NOx emissions, the required intake temperature to achieve consistent combustion phasing at different injection timings, and the distinctively different combustion heat release processes at various injection timings. It was found that the HCCI mode of engine operation required a higher intake temperature than PPC operation due to methanol’s low ignition temperature in fuel-richer mixtures. In the HCCI mode, the engine exhibited ultra-low NOx emissions but higher emissions of UHC and CO, along with lower combustion efficiency compared to the PPC mode. This was attributed to poor combustion efficiency in the near-wall regions and engine crevices. Low emissions and high combustion efficiency are achievable in PPC modes with a start of injection around a crank angle of 30° before the top dead center. The fundamental mechanism behind the engine performance is analyzed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17174307","authors":["Mark Treacy","Leilei Xu","Hesameddin Fatehi","Ossi Kaario","Xue‐Song Bai"],"tags":["Homogeneous charge compression ignition","Combustion","NOx","Automotive engineering","Ignition system"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3390/en17174307","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W2293534651","name":"A review of performance enhancement of PCM based latent heat storage system within the context of materials, thermal stability and compatibility","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2016.02.045","authors":["Zakir Khan","Zakir Khan","Zulfiqar Khan","Zulfiqar Khan","Abdul Ghafoor"],"tags":["Thermal energy storage","Compatibility (geochemistry)","Materials science","Phase-change material","Thermal conductivity"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-03-10","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2016.02.045","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4410597070","name":"Research on the Vibration Characteristics of Air Spring Suspension Seats Considering Friction Damping","source":"openalex","abstract":"Good seat comfort can bring a pleasant experience to commercial vehicle drivers.

Despite such ongoing efforts, regulations have recently proven ineffective in rural areas like the Salton Sea Air Basin of Southern California, which routinely violates O 3 and PM air quality standards. With over $2 billion in annual agricultural sales and low population density, air quality in the region is likely influenced by the year-round farming activity. We conducted a source apportionment of NO x (an important precursor to both O 3 and PM) using nitrogen stable isotopes of ambient NO 2 , which revealed a significant contribution from soil-emitted NO x to the regional budget. The soil source strength was estimated based on the mean δ 15 N-NO x from each emission category in the California Air Resources Board’s NO x inventory. Our annual average soil emission estimate for the air basin was 11.4 ± 4 tons/d, representing ~ 30% of the extant NO x inventory, 10× larger than the state’s inventory for soil emissions. Unconstrained environmental factors such as nutrient availability, soil moisture, and temperature have a first-order impact on soil NO x production in this agriculturally intensive region, with fertilization and irrigation practices likely driving most of the emissions variability. Without spatially and temporally accurate data on fertilizer application rates and irrigation schedules, it is difficult to determine the direct impacts that these variations have on our observations. Nevertheless, comparative analysis with previous studies indicates that soil NO x emissions in the Imperial Valley are likely underrepresented in current inventories, highlighting the need for more detailed and localized observational data to constrain the sizeable and variable emissions from these arid, agricultural soils.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-78361-y","authors":["Heather C.

Olefins are important building block chemicals with several applications and carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) can provide a sustainable production route. The proposed system involves direct air capture (DAC) of CO2; proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis for hydrogen production, methanol synthesis, methanol to olefins (MTO) upgrade, and power generation from off-shore wind turbines. This study proposes a new integrated process as the first attempt to holistically assess a whole CCU assembly aiming at olefins production. Processing modelling has been implemented using the Aspen plus V12.1 and MATLAB R2022a software to solve the mass and energy balances of each unit operation. The modelling results showed a carbon efficiency of 72.3% to ethylene and propylene. In addition, the process is designed and integrated in such a way that no external heat supply is required. A specific energy consumption (SEC) of 150 MJ/kg olefins (41 kWh/kg) has been estimated. A minimum selling price of £3.67 per kg of olefins is required for the proposed process to break-even. The sensitivity analysis has revealed that the major cost driver is the cost of electricity. In addition, the life cycle assessment (LCA) has exposed that the proposed synthesis route of olefins has the potential to reduce the global warming potential (GWP) by 47% compared to fossil - based production. The outcomes of this study can be beneficial to engineering conceptual studies, policy makers and contribute new information to the CCU academic community.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.143143","authors":["Gabriela A.

However, while modelling tools have been instrumental in identifying these changes, their calibration is often dependent solely on streamflow data, which limits the ability to simulate important hydrological processes with the required level of certainty. Constraining hydrological process simulations is required to identify robust model parameters, reducing model uncertainty and providing a baseline model for climate‐related risk assessments. In this study, stable isotope measurements of rainwater, groundwater and stream water (δ2H and δ18O), together with an end member mixing analysis (EMMA) (as a post‐processing step) were integrated with the Jena adaptative modelling system (JAMS)/J2000 rainfall‐runoff model, named J2000iso. The J2000iso models of δ2H and δ18O were able to achieve a streamflow Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) of 0.75 and 0.72 and an isotope mixing Kling–Gupta efficiency (KGE) of 0.51 and 0.60, respectively. Compared with the base version, the J2000iso had a much smaller variability with 56% less ensemble variance in the NSE, 13% more simulated interflow which resulted in a better soil‐moisture simulation at an observation point, and lower simulated flow component uncertainty. The J2000iso δ2H model was more robust than the base version during a subsequent validation in terms of KGE and Bias with 0.60 and 0.002 compared with 0.51 and −0.14 for the base version. The EMMA provided a means to improve the hydrograph separation ability of the JAMS/J2000. As many catchments around the world are still ungauged and are affected by anthropogenic activities, the development and enhancement of isotope‐enabled modelling provides a means to improve the simulation of key hydrological processes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.14819","authors":["Andrew Watson","Yuliya Vystavna","Sven Kralisch","Jörg Helmschrot","Jared van Rooyen","Jodie Miller"],"tags":["Environmental science","Hydrograph","Baseflow","Streamflow","Interflow"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-02-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.14819","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4395451600","name":"2024 International Congress on Integrative Medicine & Health Abstracts","source":"openalex","abstract":"Purpose: Mindfulness interventions have been shown to improve a range of health outcomes, but underlying pathways remain unclear.Inflammatory processes may play a role.In a sample of lonely older adults, this trial examined whether mindfulness training alters four inflammatory pathways: (1) stimulated IL-6 production, a measure of innate immune responsivity, (2) glucocorticoid resistance (GCR), a measure of immune cell sensitivity to the anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids, (3) pro-inflammatory gene regulation by NF-kB, and (4) circulating IL-6 and CRP, plasma markers of inflammation.Method(s): Lonely older adults (65-85 years; N=190) were randomly assigned to an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) or matched Health Enhancement Program (HEP).Blood drawn pre-intervention (T1), post-intervention (T2), and at 3-month follow-up (T3) was assayed to test for (1) LPS-stimulated IL-6 production, (2) dexamethasone-induced suppression of LPS-stimulated IL-6 response, (3) transcriptional regulation by NF-kB via RNA profiling, and (4) circulating IL-6 and CRP.Mixed effects linear models tested time (pre, post, follow-up) × condition (MBSR vs. HEP) effects.Results: First, larger increases in stimulated IL-6 production were observed following MBSR vs. HEP (T1-T2: d=.38; T1-T3: d=.35).Second, MBSR buffered increases in GCR observed in the HEP group from T1-T2 only (d=.29).Third, MBSR reduced NF-kB relative to HEP over time (d=.14).Finally, contrary to predictions, there were no group differences in circulating IL-6 or CRP over time.Conclusions: Results suggest that MBSR may boost innate immunocompetence, protect against declines in the sensitivity of immune cells to glucocorticoids, and reduce proinflammatory gene regulation among at-risk lonely older adults, but may not influence systemic inflammation among older adults.These results provide specificity about how mindfulness interventions impact inflammatory markers among aging adults with implications for extending health span.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/27536130241242891","authors":[],"tags":["Integrative medicine","Medicine","Political science","Alternative medicine","Pathology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1177/27536130241242891","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403772713","name":"Efficient Ground-State Recovery of UV-Photoexcited p-Nitrophenol in Aqueous Solution by Direct and Multistep Pathways","source":"openalex","abstract":"High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Nitroaromatic compounds are found in brown carbon aerosols emitted to the Earth’s atmosphere by biomass burning, and are important organic chromophores for the absorption of solar radiation.

Broadband ultrafast UV–visible and infrared probes are used to characterize the excited states and intermediate species involved in the multistep photochemistry, and to determine their lifetimes under different pH conditions. The assignment of absorption bands, and the dynamical interpretation of our experimental measurements are supported by computational calculations. After 320 nm photoexcitation to the first bright state, which has 1 ππ* character in the Franck–Condon region, and ultrafast (∼200 fs) structural relaxation in the adiabatic S 1 state to a region with 1 nπ* electronic character, the S 1 p -nitrophenol population decays on a time scale of ∼12 ps. This decay involves competition between direct internal conversion to the S 0 state (∼40%) and rapid intersystem crossing to the triplet manifold (∼60%). Population in the T 1 -state decays by excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) to the surrounding water and relaxation of the resulting triplet-state p -nitrophenolate anion to its S 0 electronic ground state in ∼5 ns. Reprotonation of the S 0 -state p -nitrophenolate anion recovers p -nitrophenol in its electronic ground state. Overall recovery of the S 0 state of aqueous p -nitrophenol via these competing pathways is close to 100% efficient.

This paper proposes and evaluates four radio repeater deployment strategies to support robust UAV communication in urban environments: Strategy 1 with non-overlapping radio coverage, Strategy 2 with fully overlapping coverage zones, Strategy 3 with alternating redundancy between repeater pairs, and Strategy 4 with full duplication of overlapping coverage. A continuous-time Markov modeling approach is employed to quantify communication availability under varying traffic loads and failure conditions. The strategies are assessed based on infrastructure requirements, reliability performance, and suitability for segmented and non-linear corridor geometries. The results show that increasing redundancy significantly improves reliability: for example, channel unavailability drops from 35% under Strategy 1 (no redundancy) to less than 0.5% under Strategy 4 (full duplication). Strategy 3 achieves a balanced performance, maintaining unavailability below 1% with approximately 50% fewer resources than Strategy 4. A case study in the Greenline district of Astana, Kazakhstan, illustrates the practical application of the framework, demonstrating how hybrid deployment strategies can address different operational and environmental demands. The results show that increasing redundancy significantly enhances availability, with Strategy 3 offering the most efficient balance between reliability and resource use.

It was observed that conventional methods of wastewater treatment (such as flotation, coagulation/flocculation, and adsorption) had shown promising results but posed certain limitations, such as the generation of high volumes of sludge, relatively low removal rates, inefficiency in treating low metal concentrations, and sensitivity to varying pH. Recent technologies like nanotechnology, photocatalysis, and electrochemical coagulation have significant advantages over conventional methods for removing heavy metals, including higher removal rates, improved energy efficiency, and greater selectivity for specific contaminants.

Accurately quantifying air–sea heat and gas exchange is crucial for comprehending thermoregulation processes and modeling ocean dynamics; these models incorporate bulk formulae for air–sea exchange derived in unstable atmospheric conditions. Therefore, their applicability in stable atmospheric conditions, such as desert-enclosed basins in the Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba (coral refugium), Red Sea, and Persian Gulf, is unclear. We present 2-year eddy covariance results from the Gulf of Eilat, a natural laboratory for studying air–sea interactions in stable atmospheric conditions, which are directly related to ocean dynamics. The measured mean evaporation, 3.22 m yr−1, approximately double that previously estimated by bulk formulae, exceeds the heat flux provided by radiation. Notably, in arid environments, the wind speed seasonal trend drives maximum evaporation in summer, with a minimum winter rate. The higher evaporation rate appears when elevated wind, particularly in the afternoon, coincides with an increase in vapor pressure difference. The inability of the bulk formulae approach to capture the seasonal (opposite from our measurements) and annual trend of evaporation is linked to errors in quantifying the atmospheric boundary layer stability parameter. Most of the year, there is a net cooling effect of surface water (−79 W m−2), primarily through evaporation. The substantial heat deficit is compensated by the advection of heat via northbound currents from the Red Sea, which we indirectly quantify from energy balance considerations. Cold and dry synoptic-scale winds induce extreme heat loss through air–sea fluxes and are correlated with the destabilization of the water column during winter and initiation of vertical water-column mixing.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-24-6177-2024","authors":["Shai Abir","Hamish A.

Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are abrupt disturbances to the Northern Hemisphere wintertime stratospheric polar vortex that can lead to pronounced regional changes in surface temperature and precipitation. SSWs also strongly impact the distribution of chemical constituents within the stratosphere, but the implications of these changes for stratosphere–troposphere exchange (STE) and radiative effects in the upper troposphere–lower stratosphere (UTLS) have not been extensively studied. Here we show, based on a specified-dynamics simulations from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts – Hamburg (ECHAM)/Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) chemistry–climate model, that SSWs lead to a pronounced increase in high-latitude ozone just above the tropopause (>25 % relative to climatology), persisting for up to 50 d for the ∼50 % of events classified as downward propagating following Hitchcock et al. (2013). This anomalous feature in lowermost-stratospheric ozone is verified from ozone sonde soundings and using the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS) atmospheric composition reanalysis product. A significant dipole anomaly (>± 25 %) in water vapour also persists in this region for up to 75 d, with a drying signal above a region of moistening, also evident within the CAMS reanalysis. An enhancement in STE leads to a significant 5 %–10 % increase in near-surface ozone of stratospheric origin over the Arctic, with a typical time lag between 20 and 80 d. The signal also propagates to mid-latitudes, leading to significant enhancements in UTLS ozone and also, with weakened strength, in free tropospheric and near-surface ozone up to 90 d after the event. In quantifying the potential significance for surface air quality breaches above ozone regulatory standards, a risk enhancement of up to a factor of 2 to 3 is calculated following such events. The chemical composition perturbations in the Arctic UTLS result in radiatively driven Arctic stratospheric temperature changes of around 2 K. An idealized sensitivity evaluation highlights the changing radiative importance of both ozone and water vapour perturbations with seasonality. Our results highlight that, whilst any background increase in near-surface ozone due to SSW-related stratosphere-to-troposphere (STT) transport is likely to be small, this could be of greater importance locally (e.g. mountainous regions more susceptible to elevated ozone levels). Accurate representation of UTLS composition (namely ozone and water vapour), through its effects on local temperatures, may also help improve numerical weather prediction forecasts on sub-seasonal to seasonal timescales.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-24-1389-2024","authors":["Ryan Williams","Michaela I.

High-traffic sites recorded significant reductions in leaf length, width, and area, especially in A. indica and S. siamea .

The deprotonated malononitrile carbanion, [CH(CN) 2 ] −, has shown close to equimolar capacity for reactive CO 2 capture. Although the formation of the [C(CN) 2 COOH] − carboxylic acid was found to be the final product, how the hydrogen atom on the [CH(CN) 2 ] − carbanion transfers to the carboxylate group as a proton has not been fully understood. In this work, we employ density functional theory calculations with an implicit solvation model to investigate the proton transfer mechanisms in forming carboxylic acid from the reaction of the [CH(CN) 2 ] − carbanion with CO 2 . We find that the intramolecular proton-transfer pathway in [CH(CN) 2 COO] − to form [C(CN) 2 COOH] − is unlikely due to the high energy barrier of 152 kJ/mol. Instead, the intermolecular proton transfer pathway between two [CH(CN) 2 COO] − anions is more feasible to form two molecules of [C(CN) 2 COOH] −, with a significantly lower activation energy of 50 kJ/mol. Moreover, the [C(CN) 2 COOH] − dimer is further stabilized by the intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the two –COOH groups in the Z-configuration of the π-conjugated planar geometry. This insight of reactive CO 2 capture enabled by intermolecular proton transfer will be useful in designing novel carbanions and ILs for carbon capture and conversion.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcb.4c04482","authors":["Bo Li","Yuqing Fu","Zhenzhen Yang","Sheng Dai","De‐en Jiang"],"tags":["Malononitrile","Carbanion","Deprotonation","Proton","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-02","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcb.4c04482","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4409730010","name":"Green Infrastructure for Urban Flooding: Knowledge Domains and Research Evolution (2015–2024)","source":"openalex","abstract":"Urban flooding represents a critical socio-ecological challenge exacerbated by climate change and rapid urbanization, with green infrastructure (GI) emerging as a transformative approach to flood management.

To this aim, a plethora of low‐dimensional and wide‐bandgap perovskite‐inspired materials (PIMs) are proposed. Unfortunately, the optoelectronic performance of PIMs currently lags behind that of their LHP‐based counterparts, with a key limiting factor being the high concentration of defects in PIMs, whose rich and complex chemistry is still inadequately understood.

Several measures are known to reduce the ergonomic risk; however, there are still gaps in the research, particularly in relation to dental work in the different oral regions (Quadrants 1–4). Methods: In this study (of a pilot character), a total of 15 dentists (8 male and 7 female) specialising in endodontics were measured while performing root canal treatments on a phantom head. These measurements took place in a laboratory setting using an inertial motion capture system. A slightly modified Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) coding system was employed for the analysis of kinematic data. The significance level was set at p = 0.05. Results: The ergonomic risk for the entire body was higher in the fourth quadrant than in the first quadrant for 80% of the endodontists and higher than in the second quadrant for 87%. For 87% of the endodontists, the ergonomic risk for the right side of the body was significantly higher in the fourth quadrant compared to the first and second quadrant. The right arm was stressed more in the lower jaw than in the upper jaw, and the neck also showed a greater ergonomic risk in the fourth quadrant compared to the first quadrant. Conclusion: In summary, both the total RULA score and scores for the right- and lefthand sides of the body ranged between 5 and 6 out of a possible 7 points. Considering this considerable burden, heightened attention, especially to the fourth quadrant with a significantly higher ergonomic risk compared to Quadrants 1 and 2, may be warranted.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/bioengineering11040400","authors":["Sophie Feige","Fabian Holzgreve","Laura Fraeulin","Christian Maurer","Werner Betz","Christina Erbe","Albert Nienhaus","David A.

Lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic are among the most hazardous, disrupting biological systems through oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and interference with cellular signaling. These mechanisms drive the onset of acute and chronic diseases, damaging multiple organ systems and reducing overall health quality. The respiratory system is highly susceptible, as inhalation of fine and ultrafine particulates induces oxidative injury, inflammation, fibrosis, and progressive loss of lung function. Cardiovascular disorders such as endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, and atherosclerosis arise from oxidative stress and calcium signaling disruption, while endocrine toxicity occurs when heavy metals displace essential elements, disturbing hormone synthesis and metabolic balance. Reproductive toxicity manifests through reduced fertility, impaired gametogenesis, and abnormal embryonic development, often mediated by epigenetic alterations. Neurological consequences include cognitive decline, behavioral changes, and neurodegenerative progression, driven by apoptosis, oxidative damage, and altered neurotransmission. Addressing these risks, recent advances in nanotechnology offer promising solutions for air quality management. Engineered nanomaterials including metal nanoparticles, carbon-based adsorbents, and metal organic frameworks demonstrate high efficiency in capturing and neutralizing airborne heavy metals. Nanostructured catalysts can transform toxic particulates into less harmful forms, while nanosensor platforms enable real-time monitoring at ultra-trace levels.

The tailless control system consists of variable flapping frequency and wing twist modulation. The variable flapping frequency creates rolling moments through differential vertical force from flapping mechanisms that can be independently driven on the left and right sides. The wing twist modulation changes wing tension, resulting in vertical and horizontal force variations during one flap cycle and generating pitching and yaw moments. We presume that the wing geometry and implementation method of wing-root actuation are related to the control authority of wing twist modulation. Then, the control system's performance is analyzed for various wing geometries and implementation methods, including wing length, leading-edge thickness, camber angle, and vein configuration. Furthermore, the cross-coupling effect is examined for the wing twist modulation, and a control surface interconnect is designed to compensate for the decrease of pitch control authority and adverse rolling moment. The refined wing and control mechanism demonstrated its high control authority without significant loss of vertical force and power efficiency. The flight experiments validated that the control system based on wing twist modulation is suitable for four-winged flapping-wing micro air vehicles, providing sufficient control moment and minimizing the cross-coupling effect.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-3190/adab52","authors":["Heetae Park","Seungkeun Kim","Jinyoung Suk"],"tags":["Wing twist","Wing","Flapping","Micro air vehicle","Control theory (sociology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-3190/adab52","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4403114157","name":"Tidal impacts on air-sea CO2 exchange on the North-West European shelf","source":"openalex","abstract":"Tidal forcing is a dominant physical forcing mechanism on the Northwest European Shelf (NWES) that regulates the mixing-stratification status of the water column and thus acts as a major control for biological productivity and air-sea CO2 exchange. Tides further influence the marine carbon cycle on the shelf by affecting benthic-pelagic coupling, vertical mixing and the large-scale residual circulation. The cumulative tidal impact on oceanic uptake of atmospheric CO2 on the NWES, however, remains largely unexplored. We use a coupled physical-biogeochemical ocean model to gain quantitative understanding of the tidal impacts on the air-sea CO2 exchange of the NWES by comparing hindcast simulations with and without tidal forcing. Our results show that tidal forcing weakens the annual oceanic CO2 uptake on the NWES by 0.15 Tmol C yr−1 , corresponding to a ~13% stronger CO2 sink in the experiment without tidal forcing. The tide-induced increase in marine primary production demonstrated in earlier studies, which primarily enhances biological carbon fixation in shallow inner-shelf regions of the NWES, does not significantly affect net air-sea CO2 exchange. Instead, we find tidal mixing, tide-induced baroclinic circulation and the tidal impact on benthic-pelagic coupling to be dominant controls of air-sea CO2 exchange. Tidal mixing in the permanently mixed shelf regions accounts for the majority (~40%) of the weakening effect on CO2 uptake, while the modulation of water mass composition in the Celtic Sea by tide-induced baroclinic circulation reduces the uptake further (~33% of the difference in annual mean CO2 uptake). In terms of the shelf carbon budget, the tidal response of air-sea CO2 exchange is primarily mediated by changes to the pelagic DIC reservoir (~73%; −0.11 Tmol C yr−1 ). Tidal impacts on off-shelf carbon export to the North Atlantic only account for ~20% ( −0.03 Tmol C yr−1 ) of the tidal impact on shelf CO2 uptake, and changes in sedimentation of particulate organic carbon account for the remaining ~7% ( −0.01 Tmol C yr−1) .","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2024.1406896","authors":["Jan Kossack","Moritz Mathis","Ute Daewel","Feifei Liu","Kubilay Timur Demir","Helmuth Thomas","Corinna Schrum"],"tags":["Oceanography","Environmental science","Climatology","Geography","Fishery"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2024.1406896","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W2146188034","name":"Superhydrophobic surfaces for corrosion protection: a review of recent progresses and future directions","source":"openalex","abstract":"Due to their superior water-repelling effects, superhydrophobic surfaces have received increasing attention as a promising solution to corrosion of metallic materials.

Aviation emissions cause global changes in air quality which have been estimated to result in ~58,000 premature mortalities per year, but this number varies by an order of magnitude between studies. The causes of this uncertainty include differences in the assessment of ozone exposure impacts and in how air quality changes are simulated, and the possibility that low-resolution (~400 km) global models may overestimate impacts compared to finer-resolution (~50 km) regional models. We use the GEOS-Chem High Performance chemistry-transport model at a 50 km global resolution, an order of magnitude finer than recent assessments of the same scope, to quantify the air quality impacts of aviation with a single internally consistent, global approach. We find that aviation emissions in 2015 resulted in 21,200 premature mortalities due to particulate matter exposure and 53,100 due to ozone exposure. Compared to a prior estimate of 6,800 ozone-related premature mortalities for 2006 our estimate is increased by 5.6 times due to the use of updated epidemiological data which includes the effects of ozone exposure during winter, and by 1.3 times due to increased aviation fuel burn. The use of fine (50 km) resolution increases the estimated impacts on both ozone and particulate matter-related mortality by a further 20 % compared to coarse-resolution (400 km) global simulation, but an intermediate resolution (100 km) is sufficient to capture 98 % of impacts. This is in part due to the role of aviation-attributable ozone, which is long-lived enough to mix through the Northern Hemisphere and exposure to which causes 2.5 times as much health impact as aviation-attributable PM2.5. This work shows that the air quality impacts of civil aviation emissions are dominated by the hemisphere-scale response of tropospheric ozone to aviation NOx rather than local changes, and that simulations at ~100 km resolution provide similar results to those at two times finer spatial scale.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2023-695","authors":["Sebastian D.

Additionally, the development of locomotion technology is occurring at a moderate pace. Continuous research is being conducted using hardware such as treadmills, and motion tracking using depth cameras, but they are costly and space-intensive.

Additionally, its feasibility for VR applications was evaluated by comparing its performance with that of a treadmill using the absolute trajectory error metric and survey data collected from human participants. The proposed WIP algorithm with low-cost Mocopi exhibited performance similar to that of the high-cost treadmill, with significantly positive results for spatial awareness.

Here, we use a variety of in situ techniques to examine cholesterol monohydrate crystallization over multiple length scales. In this study, we first identified a biomimetic solvent to generate triclinic monohydrate crystals, while avoiding the formation of nonphysiological solvates and enabling crystallization at rates where the dynamics of surface growth could be captured in real time. Using a binary mixture of water and isopropanol, with the latter serving as a surrogate for lipids in physiological environments, we show that cholesterol monohydrate crystals grow classically by the nucleation and spreading of crystal layers. Time-resolved imaging confirms that layers are generated by dislocations and monomers incorporate into advancing steps after diffusion along the crystal surface and not directly from the solution. In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) and microfluidics measurements concertedly reveal abundant macrosteps, which engender a self-inhibition mechanism that reduces the rate of crystal growth. This finding stands in contrast to numerous other systems, in which classical mechanisms lead to unhindered growth by spreading of single layers.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2415719122","authors":["Dipayan Chakraborty","Wenchuan Ma","Xiqu Wang","Z.

Using quasi-Poisson regression and distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM), we estimated the effects of air pollutant exposure on cumulative lags (0–6, 0–14, 0–21, and 0–28 days) before mortality. The simultaneous effects of multiple air pollutants on CVD were also examined. This association was adjusted for potential confounders, including meteorological factors. Finally, we conducted a stratified analysis based on gender, age, and season to evaluate possible effect modification in the study. During the study period, 115,193 CVD deaths were reported across eight large cities in Iran. In single-pollutant models, CO, PM 2.5 , and O 3 showed the strongest significant associations with CVD mortality during the cumulative lag of 0–28 days, while no significant association was observed for O 3 . In the two-pollutant models, the association between CVD mortality and NO 2 was weakened when PM 2.5 was added, whereas the associations with CO and O 3 slightly strengthened. Adding CO to the model containing NO 2 led to a significant reduction in the association with CO, while the association with NO 2 remained unchanged. Similar patterns to the single-pollutant models were observed for the combination of NO 2 and O 3 , as well as CO and O 3 . The association with PM 2.5 remained unchanged in all two-pollutant models, preserving its lag structure and statistical significance. The findings indicate that estimates varied based on gender, age groups, and season. Men, individuals aged 40 or older, and winter seasons showed higher sensitivity to pollutants. Our findings highlight the importance of investigating the health-related multidimensional impact of air pollutants, particularly in more polluted developing countries like Iran. The results should warn national policy makers to set guided resource allocations for environmental health monitoring, and support the implementation of targeted interventions to reduce its impact on public health. Meanwhile, future research should explore the effectiveness of pollution mitigation strategies and investigate the long-term health impacts of sustained air pollutants.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-04126-w","authors":["Nadia Mohammadi Dashtaki","Mohammad Fararouei","Alireza Mirahmadizadeh","Mohammad Hoseini"],"tags":["Air pollutants","Environmental health","Pollutant","Crossover","Crossover study"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-04126-w","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4408173144","name":"Direct numerical simulation of soot break-through in turbulent non-premixed flames","source":"openalex","abstract":"Soot break-through, or “leakage”, is the transport of soot particles into fuel-lean regions leading to smoke emissions even when the global equivalence ratio is below unity. Under turbulent conditions, this phenomenon is affected by small-scale mixing, and a better understanding of the non-linear interactions between soot and gas-phase is crucial to improving the prediction of the existing reduced-order model in case of soot break-through. To this end, three Direct Numerical Simulations (DNSs) of temporally evolving turbulent non-premixed jet flames have been performed to study the later stages of soot evolution in turbulent flames. Various degrees of soot break-through are obtained by enforcing three different levels of flame extinction by rescaling the geometry and flow conditions, resulting in a variation in Damköhler number, while the Reynolds number remains constant. The simulations employ a detailed chemical mechanism for the gas phase chemistry and a moment method for modeling the soot number density function evolution. Both soot evolution and turbulence-chemistry-soot interaction are discussed in mixture fraction space and along Lagrangian trajectories in physical space. The results reveal that soot break-through is strongly correlated with both high mixture fraction dissipation rates and strong soot transport in mixture fraction space. Due to the higher mixture fraction dissipation rate, the lowest Damköhler number case exhibits more significant extinction, allowing significant soot break-through. Additionally, soot particles in the lean regions are shown to be smaller than those inside the flame due to the smaller residence times in the fuel-rich growth regions, with a significant probability of leaked soot particles at incipient size. From the Lagrangian statistics, the ratio of the mixture fraction diffusion rate and soot oxidation rate constant is shown to be a suitable parameter to identify soot break-through events. Overall, soot break-through is found to be dominated by local flame extinctions and, while a fast drift of soot toward lean regions is required for such phenomena, an accurate prediction of local extinctions is also necessary to capture soot break-through occurrences. Novelty and Significance This study presents new insights into turbulent sooting flames through a novel dataset, obtained using direct numerical simulations (DNSs), to investigate the later stages of soot evolution, including incomplete oxidation phenomena leading to smoking behavior. In contrast to existing DNS datasets which have primarily focused only on the early stages of soot formation and growth, the dataset presented and analyzed in this study provides key new data on soot oxidation and break-through in turbulent non-premixed flames. As modeling turbulence-chemistry-soot interactions is still an open research question in the combustion community, this dataset contributes to advancing the current understanding of the underlying physics governing soot evolution in turbulent flames.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.combustflame.2025.114093","authors":["Gandolfo Scialabba","Marco Davidovic","Antonio Attili","Heinz Pitsch"],"tags":["Soot","Turbulence","Direct numerical simulation","Mechanics","Computer simulation"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-07","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.combustflame.2025.114093","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"oa:W4406787656","name":"“Leaky Weirs” capture alluvial deposition and enhance seasonal mountain-front recharge in dryland streams","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract “Leaky weirs” are rock structures installed in dryland streams, which are anchored into exposed bedrock, loosely cemented, and designed to allow water to slowly pass through. They are being tested at a ranch in southeastern Arizona, USA, to restore and conserve the historic range and desert wetlands. Data are collected to assess how leaky weirs impact surface water, subsurface water, and groundwater recharge—including stream discharge, timing, and depth of infiltration, and groundwater elevations. Three adjacent watersheds, two with outlets just below leaky weirs and one with leaky weirs farther upstream, were instrumented with water-level loggers, wildlife cameras, and crest stage instruments with temperature sensors in the soil. As most groundwater recharge is assumed to be focused along the mountain fronts in this region, mountain-block recharge is also evaluated to differentiate between the two using isotope analyses. Finally, a single, late-season flood event is scrutinized to consider the leaky weir effect on all monitored components in the water budget. Results indicated groundwater flow is primarily from the mountains to the east via older, regional mountain-block recharge. However, the development of shallow alluvial aquifers is supported by the leaky weirs, that slow flows, capture permeable sediments, and allow infiltration, thus enhancing mountain-front recharge. In turn, these new pockets of water help support the restoration of historic wetlands. Sediment accumulates where leaky weirs are installed, reducing flashy peak flows, and resulting in a series of infiltration ponds along the channel that support vegetation during growing seasons and recharge the shallow aquifer during non-growing seasons.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13201-025-02371-y","authors":["Laura M.

The U.S. has proposed strict emissions limits that include mercury (Hg), particulate matter (PM) and a growing focus on NOx, while Europe is focusing more aggressively on reducing Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and PM emissions first. Innovative new technologies are being developed and introduced to meet proposed emissions levels for industries such as waste to energy facilities, Cement clinker producers and Sintering processes. Catalytically active ceramic or textile filter media have been applied over the past 15 years ensuring a simultaneous removal of PM, NOx and PCDD/F-compounds. A new textile filter type containing 2 filter bags (bag-over-bag) has recently been designed for such a multi-functional approach at elevated filter temperatures (T&gt;170°C) where PMs are filtered on an ePTFE membrane (1st layer) and NOx is reduced by a catalytic reaction (2nd layer) with NH3 injected upstream. The separate bag construction enables the removal of the catalytic inner bag once it has been deactivated by ammonium-(bi)-sulphates. An appropriate regeneration process outside the bagfilter was developed for such new DeNOx system. The implementation of this 2-layer filter bag concept into existing Air Pollution Control (APC) systems and the catalyst management has been demonstrated on full-scale at the waste to energy facility of Acegas APS Padova (Italy). Emissions of NOx (as NO2) &lt; 70mg/Nm3 with NH3&lt;3mg/Nm3 with PM&lt;0,5mg/Nm3 can be constantly achieved. The implementation of this filter bag system achieves highest energy efficiency, lowest costs for consumables when it is applied in dry sorption filters at elevated temperatures. In U.S., the strong demand for lowest Hg emission promotes innovative solutions for efficient and reliable Hg removal. Hg can be efficiently captured in a new fixed sorbent bed technology which is installed downstream the baghouse. This paper presents the innovative concepts for multi-functional filter as well as for Hg removal, showing also field data of both new technologies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1115/nawtec21-2715","authors":["Johannes Ebert"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2013-11-04T14:37:25Z","doi":"10.1115/nawtec21-2715","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-94-015-8973-4_1","name":"Biosensors for Direct Monitoring and Indoor Air Quality and Exposure Assessment Issues","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-015-8973-4_1","authors":["Demetrios J.

We apply the method to a slab geometry contactor that uses components, design and fabrication methods derived from cooling towers. We use mass transfer data appropriate for capture using a strong NaOH solution, combined with engineering and cost data derived from engineering studies performed by Carbon Engineering Ltd, and find that the total costs for air contacting alone—no regeneration—can be of the order of $60 per tonne CO2. We analyse the reasons why our cost estimate diverges from that of other recent reports and conclude that the divergence arises from fundamental design choices rather than from differences in costing methodology. Finally, we review the technology risks and conclude that they can be readily addressed by prototype testing.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2012.0137","authors":["Geoffrey Holmes","David W.

Internal combustion (IC) engines are significant contributors to CO 2 emissions. This study explores the possibility of employing effective biomass‐based adsorbents to mitigate CO 2 from a diesel engine exhaust. As a first step, two distinct agro‐wastes, namely, i) corn cob and ii) sugarcane bagasse, are used to prepare inexpensive and efficient activated carbons. The two main steps in the activated carbon preparation are a) carbonization and b) activation. The derived activated carbons are subjected to discrete analytical techniques to examine their structural and textural characteristics, surface functional groups, and physical, chemical, and adsorptive properties. As a second step, the exhaust treatment chamber unit is filled with the adsorbents one by one and is connected to the exhaust of the constant pressure heat addition engine. A single‐cylinder, four‐stroke, naturally‐aspirated, air‐cooled, direct injection (DI) compression ignition (CI) engine is used in the experimental investigations. The essential findings show that ≈68 and 60% of CO 2 emissions are adsorbed in the test engine by utilizing corn cob and sugarcane bagasse adsorbents, respectively. The results show that during the D100 and JME20 operations, the prospective adsorbents can curb more than 40% of overall CO 2 emissions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/clen.202200275","authors":["Maniarasu Ravi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-02-04T06:20:15Z","doi":"10.1002/clen.202200275","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-54864-2_12","name":"Exploring New Horizons: Synaptic Tagging and Capture Beyond Space and Time","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-54864-2_12","authors":["Mohammad Zaki Bin Ibrahim","Sreedharan Sajikumar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-25T09:01:16Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-54864-2_12","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1103/physrevc.34.408","name":"Direct<i>E</i>2 neutron capture in light nuclei","source":"crossref","abstract":"We present an analysis of the E2 strength data recently available from thermal radiative neutron capture within the context of direct capture theory.

While this is well known, there is little understanding of the contribution given by the direct emission from synthetic garments. Current literature often focusses more on microfibre emission during washing processes although the majority of microfibres in the environment are considered to originate from land-based sources. This project aims to determine the parameters that will help constrain the role of direct emission from synthetic clothing. This is achieved by performing shedding experiments on clothes under dry friction. Released fibres are collected and characterised in terms of number, length, width and morphology using digital microscopy. Since the majority of synthetic clothing consists of polyester mixed with other synthetic or natural materials, garments made of different polyester blends were tested and the relative amount of shed fibres was determined. The influence of garment age is also tested by performing shedding experiments on similar types of clothing with varying ages. Preliminary results show that the peak of the size distribution for the length of all emitted fibres lies at 310 ± 150 μm and the aspect ratio distribution peak is 16 ± 3. The findings of this project will provide important parameters directly relevant to assess whether the emitted particles are compatible with atmospheric transport processes and inhalation and will direct the designing for further targeted experiments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu26-14530","authors":["Marlene Haase","Silvia Bucci"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-14T02:15:54Z","doi":"10.5194/egusphere-egu26-14530","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/0749-6036(87)90177-7","name":"Direct and indirect carrier capture by semiconductor quantum wells","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/0749-6036(87)90177-7","authors":["J.A.

A detailed kinetic mechanism which includes 12 reactive species and 27 elementary reactions is used for hydrogen/air mixture and that includes 49 reactive species and 279 elementary reactions is used for methane/air mixture and a reduced kinetic mechanism which includes 38 reactive species and 61 elementary reactions is used for n-heptane/air mixture. In the ignition process, the high temperature region is stretched and its evolution is disturbed by surrounding eddies. This impediment leads to a significant ignition delay compared with the laminar case. Even if turbulent field is statistically same, the ignition delay significantly depends on local characteristics of turbulence. Ignition delay tends to increase with the increase of mean strain rate in the initial high temperature region. If the high temperature region is separated by the strong eddies in the initial process, the ignition of the mixture delays further. In the propagation process, the flame front is stretched and disturbed its evolution by strong eddies, and the flame propagates along the edge of eddies. The flame fronts that are enclosed by the burnt gas shows high heat release rate. This structure and increasing of flame front area enhance turbulent burning velocity. The flame propagation behaviours are different for fuel. Especially, strong stretching by eddy induces local extinction for methane cases, and the production of NO2 is enhanced in these regions. Pressure effects are also investigated for methane/air mixture.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1615/ichmt.2008.cht.1820","authors":["Makoto Sato","Shingo Matsuura","Mamoru Tanahashi","Toshio Miyauchi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2011-08-08T09:48:48Z","doi":"10.1615/ichmt.2008.cht.1820","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4209/aaqr.2013.05.0169","name":"Towards Solar Thermochemical Carbon Dioxide Capture via Calcium Oxide Looping: A Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"This article presents a review of research in the field of solar thermochemical carbon dioxide capture based on calcium oxide looping.

Furthermore, there have been relatively few studies reporting the DAC performance of sorbent contactors under cold, subambient conditions (temperatures below 20 °C). In this work, we demonstrate the successful fabrication of adsorbent monoliths composed of cellulose acetate (CA) and adsorbent particles such as zeolite 13X and MOF MIL-101(Cr) by a 3D printing technique: solution-based additive manufacturing (SBAM). These monoliths feature interpenetrated macroporous polymeric frameworks in which microcrystals of zeolite 13X or MIL-101(Cr) are evenly distributed, highlighting the versatility of SBAM in fabricating monoliths containing sorbents with different particle sizes and density. Branched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) is successfully loaded into the CA/MIL-101(Cr) monoliths to impart CO 2 uptakes of 1.05 mmol g monolith -1 at -20 °C and 400 ppm of CO 2 . Kinetic analysis shows that the CO 2 sorption kinetics of PEI-loaded MIL-101(Cr) sorbents are not compromised in the monoliths compared to the powder sorbents. Importantly, these monoliths exhibit promising working capacities (0.95 mmol g monolith -1 ) over 14 temperature swing cycles with a moderate regeneration temperature of 60 °C. Dynamic breakthrough experiments at 25 °C under dry conditions reveal a CO 2 uptake capacity of 0.60 mmol g monolith -1 , which further increases to 1.05 and 1.43 mmol g monolith -1 at -20 °C under dry and humid (70% relative humidity) conditions, respectively. Our work showcases the successful implementation of SBAM in making DAC sorbent monoliths with notable CO 2 capture performance over a wide range of sorption temperatures, suggesting that SBAM can enable the preparation of efficient sorbent contactors in various form factors for other important chemical separations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.3c13528","authors":["Yuxiang Wang","Guanhe Rim","MinGyu Song","Hannah E.

However, this perspective overlooks the important role of local stakeholders in FDI. Local actors provide access to local markets and resources, which is crucial for MNEs to co-create value from FDI. At the same time, these local stakeholders seek to maximize their share of the co-created value from FDI. This study proposes a new framework based on value capture theory to incorporate local stakeholders into the analysis of strategic interactions. We define FDI as a biform game of value co-creation and distribution involving both MNEs and local actors. Using agent-based simulations, we demonstrate that no single dominant decision-making pattern exists for MNEs to succeed in this strategic interaction. Instead, we find that factors related to the bargaining power of MNEs vis-à-vis local stakeholders influence which MNE strategy is most effective.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5465/amproc.2025.286bp","authors":["Laurenz Tinhof","Harald Puhr"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-07T15:38:56Z","doi":"10.5465/amproc.2025.286bp","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/c2022-0-01184-3","name":"Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases:  Emission, Capture and Conversion","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/c2022-0-01184-3","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-19T10:26:05Z","doi":"10.1016/c2022-0-01184-3","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-54864-2_23","name":"Modeling Emergent Dynamics Arising from Synaptic Tagging and Capture at the Network Level","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-54864-2_23","authors":["Jannik Luboeinski","Christian Tetzlaff"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-25T09:01:16Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-54864-2_23","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-443-19231-9.00025-9","name":"Applications of CO2 mineralization for carbon capture, utilization, and storage","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-443-19231-9.00025-9","authors":["Hsing-Jung Ho","Atsushi Iizuka"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-28T08:33:15Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-443-19231-9.00025-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-23161-2_301314","name":"Volumetric Capture","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-23161-2_301314","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-10T17:03:06Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-23161-2_301314","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/c2022-0-01188-0","name":"Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases: Emission, Capture and Conversion","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/c2022-0-01188-0","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-26T09:14:11Z","doi":"10.1016/c2022-0-01188-0","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/jacs.4c11899.s001","name":"Direct Conversion of N2 and Air to Nitric Acid in GasWater Microbubbles","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4c11899.s001","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-24T05:20:17Z","doi":"10.1021/jacs.4c11899.s001","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/d4cp03839h","name":"Direct capture of the alanine ghost in alanine-doped triglycine sulfate crystals","source":"crossref","abstract":"15 N-labelled l -alanine in TGS crystals was directly observed by solid 15 N-NMR, with two chemical states of alanine doped into GI being reported and a new crystal structure model proposed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d4cp03839h","authors":["Yukana Terasawa","Toshimichi Shibue","Toru Asahi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-07T10:43:58Z","doi":"10.1039/d4cp03839h","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/c2022-0-01187-9","name":"Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases:  Emission, Capture and Conversion","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/c2022-0-01187-9","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-26T13:14:08Z","doi":"10.1016/c2022-0-01187-9","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.icheatmasstransfer.2024.107596","name":"CO2 capture through direct-contact condensation in a spray ejector condenser and T- junction separator","source":"crossref","abstract":"The design principle underlying the steam condensation and CO2 purification in a gas power plant with a focus on reducing CO2 emissions encompasses the deployment of a spray ejector condenser (SEC) and separator. This innovative system facilitates direct-contact condensation of steam with non-condensable gas (CO2) by interacting with a spray of subcooled water, seamlessly integrated with a T-junction separator mechanism aimed at yielding pure CO2. Because of decreased convective heat transfer and heightened diffusion resistance between the subcooled water and steam phases caused by CO2, the research examined the effects of various thermophysical parameters of the injected water, specifically temperature (20–40 ° C ) and pressure (12–16 bar) along with steam mass flow rates (2.2–4.6 g s ) to improve heat transfer rates within the SEC. The SEC utilizes a Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model, wherein water is considered the continuous phase while the mixture of steam and CO2 constitutes the dispersed phase . Turbulence within the ejector is represented applying standard k-ε model. Furthermore, the separator employs turbulence and operates in three dimensions using the control volume method. The simulation of turbulent two-phase flow in the gas-liquid T-junction separator is conducted utilizing standard k-ε turbulence model and a mixture model. The results imply that the maximum temperature difference (ΔT) between inlet and outlet of SEC is observed when the steam mass flow rate is 2.2 (g/s) without CO2, while the presence of CO2 leads to a reduction in ΔT. Additionally, the performance of the SEC is notably affected by the optimal settings of water temperature and pressure, where lower coolant water temperatures (20 ° C ) and higher water pressures (16 bar) contribute to improved condensation performance. Furthermore, the study explores the decrease in separation efficiency associated with elevated inlet mass flow rate , attributed to maldistribution in the vertical impact T-junction separator.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icheatmasstransfer.2024.107596","authors":["Milad Amiri","Michal Klugmann","Jaroslaw Mikielewicz","Paweł Ziółkowski","Dariusz Mikielewicz"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-21T00:30:27Z","doi":"10.1016/j.icheatmasstransfer.2024.107596","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5339/qfarf.2012.eep60","name":"Thermal performance prediction of a single effect air-cooled absorption air conditioner with direct expansion evaporator","source":"crossref","abstract":"According to the World Resources Institute, in the building sector, commercial buildings contributed 9.9% of greenhouse gases (GHG) and 5.6% of GHG emissions are from residential buildings. In the Gulf, the building sector is the biggest electricity consumer. During the summer months, the local dry bulb temperature can go beyond 50°C therefore it is essential to depend on mechanical ventilation systems to reduce indoor temperature. In Qatar, the majority of residential buildings still rely on conventional vapour compression cycle systems for space cooling. The major drawback of this system is the high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant and CO2 produced to power the compressor. Absorption cooling is a technology that has been disregarded in the past due to its low coefficient of performance (COP) compared to vapour compression cycle and lack of strong policies on GHG and CO2 emission. Recently, researchers and engineers started to focus on utilising absorption chillers for space cooling due to the advantage of its low carbon emission. Research in the past has shown that absorption chillers can cut down 16.7% of CO2 emission compared to vapour compression chillers. An absorption chiller is a machine that uses heat to drive the cooling system instead of electricity as commonly known in vapour compression refrigeration systems. The major difference between the two systems is that absorption refrigeration uses a heat source to increase the pressure at the condenser instead of a mechanical compressor. This makes the absorption refrigeration system very attractive when low grade heat is available. The objective of this study is to use a numerical method to predict the rate of heat transfer and thermal performance of a small capacity (3kW) air-cooled absorption system with a direct expansion evaporator. The parameters of the study focuses on the ambient temperature ranges from 28-35°C. The concept of air-cooled absorption refrigeration systems have become more acceptable due to the exclusion of cooling towers. Although cooling towers are a key component in absorption refrigeration systems, they often consume large volumes of water due to evaporation. Another disadvantage of cooling towers is that legionella contamination often occurs when the cycle is not properly maintained.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5339/qfarf.2012.eep60","authors":["LikFang Sim","Saud Ghani"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-10-30T16:16:46Z","doi":"10.5339/qfarf.2012.eep60","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.amj.2018.01.006","name":"Direct Air Versus Ground Transport Predictors for Rural Pediatric Trauma","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objective Traumatic injury is the leading cause of mortality in children and the most common cause of emergency medical services transport in pediatric populations. We aimed to identify what factors are currently associated with selection for helicopter transport (HEMS) over ground ambulance (GEMS) in a primarily rural state. Methods We performed a retrospective case-control study of trauma patients younger than 18 years old reported to the Oklahoma State Trauma Registry between 2005 and 2014 who received direct transport from the scene of injury to a tertiary trauma center within the state. Factors associated with HEMS transport over GEMS were identified by multivariate regression analysis. Results Of the 1,700 patients in the study group, 50.8% were transported by HEMS. Increased distance (odds ratio [OR] = 6.1-18.6), lower Glasgow Coma Scale (OR = 2.5), multisystem injury (OR = 1.5), intubation (OR = 2.7), motor vehicle collision-related injuries (OR = 2.1), and elevated heart rate (OR = 1.8) were all associated with increased odds of HEMS transport, with distance being the strongest factor. Conclusion This study found that the principal determinants of triage to HEMS transport in the case of pediatric trauma in a rural state were primarily distance to a major trauma center and clinical factors relating to the type and severity of injury.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amj.2018.01.006","authors":["Andrew B.

Compared to conventional CO2 capture and utilization, the ICCU process reduces transporting, product purification, construction, and operation costs. However, few works focus on investigating the effect of in-situ CO2 conversion on the sintering of CaO at high temperatures. In this work, Cu/CaO dual functional materials (DFMs) were synthesized and used in the Calcium Looping-Reverse Water-Gas Shift (CaL-RWGS) process at 650 °C. The results showed that it is thermodynamically feasible to couple the CaL with the RWGS reaction. In the cyclic CO2 capture test, Ca1Cu0.1 DFMs showed desirable CO2 capture performance (11.34 mmol/gDFMs) and self-activated phenomenon in the first 15 cycles. Moreover, Cu nanoparticle catalysts in the DFMs effectively inhibited the sintering of CaO by accelerating the desorption of CO2 from the CaO surface and converting it to CO during the conversion stage. In-situ DRIFTS of Ca1Cu0.1 DFMs revealed that formates might be the RWGS intermediates in CaL-RWGS.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100220","authors":["Rui Han","Yang Wang","Lifei Wei","Mingke Peng","Zhiyong Li","Caixia Liu","Qingling Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-06T22:16:05Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100220","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2514/6.1995-6072","name":"Analysis of turbulence statistics in three-dimensional, air-to-air supersonic shear layers using direct numerical simulation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2514/6.1995-6072","authors":["Daniel Risha"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2013-09-09T21:45:16Z","doi":"10.2514/6.1995-6072","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2495/air120461","name":"Mitigating climate change by CO<sub>2</sub>air capture and geological storage: opportunities for Iran","source":"crossref","abstract":"This paper investigates the preliminary strategies and tools for the implementation of CO 2 air capture and geological storage as a potential mitigation option in the future climate policy of Iran.It is a method to capture CO 2 directly from air and store it in geological structures based on large-scale industrial processes to enable the near-permanent sequestration of carbon.The reason for selecting this approach originates from its capability to mitigate CO 2 from all economic sectors with a single technology, while the conventional capture methods are designed only for mitigation of CO 2 from point sources of the power generation and industrial sectors.In order to facilitate the workflow of air capture as efficiently as possible, this study suggests some tools and directions for the selection of potential sectors and the prospective areas for the final site selection of the air capture units.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2495/air120461","authors":["A.

In compact power cabins, batteries, controllers, power distribution units and auxiliary actuators are densely arranged, making cabin thermal management a critical design issue. In this study, a full-scale conjugate flow and heat transfer model is developed for the power cabin of a UAV and validated against thermal management experiments. The validated model is then used to examine how a conventional rectangular ram-air inlet and a proposed stepped ram-air inlet affect air capture, internal flow organization and temperature distribution. The inlet area of the rectangular configuration is first varied to establish a baseline, after which the transition arc ratio, spacing ratio and area ratio of the stepped inlet are parametrically investigated. The results show that increasing the rectangular inlet area from 0.002 to 0.008 m2 increases the total captured mass flow rate from 0.258 to 1.084 kg/s, whereas the cabin average temperature decreases by 0.34 °C. By contrast, the cabin maximum temperature decreases nonlinearly, with a 27.2% reduction when the area increases from 0.004 to 0.006 m2. These results indicate that air capture and the cabin average temperature alone are insufficient to evaluate cooling effectiveness in a compact multi-source cabin. For the stepped inlet, the transition arc ratio controls the turning of the incoming flow, the spacing ratio governs shielding and backflow between adjacent inlet sections, and the area ratio redistributes the dominant inlet sections. The best-performing stepped-inlet configuration among the tested cases increases the captured mass flow rate by 32.8% compared with the rectangular baseline under the same opening constraint and improves the utilization of cooling air around high heat load components. This study demonstrates that ram-air inlet design for UAV power cabins should be treated as a coupled problem of the mass flow capture, internal flow path and component-level thermal response.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/modelling7040171","authors":["Qiu Zhang","Xin Qiao","Xinmin Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-18T08:08:41Z","doi":"10.3390/modelling7040171","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1159/000462546","name":"Direct Capture of Plasma Factor VIII:C by Ion Exchange Chromatography","source":"crossref","abstract":"An ion exchange medium, DEAE-Fractogel 650M, can be used to capture factor VIII (FVIII) directly from plasma.

However, the challenges arising from the lithium metal anode have significantly impeded the progress of LAB development. In this study, cellulose‐based filter paper (FP) is utilized as a separator for ambient Li–air batteries to suppress dendrite growth and prevent H 2 O crossover. Thermogravimetric analysis and molecular spectrum reveal that FP enables ambient Li–air battery operation due to its surface functional groups derived from cellulose. The oxygen‐enriched surface of cellulose not only enhances ion conductivity but also captures water and confines solvent molecules, thereby mitigating anode corrosion and side reactions. Compared with commercial glassfiber (GF) separator, this cellulose‐based FP separator is cheaper, renewable, and environmentally friendly. Moreover, it requires less electrolyte while achieving prolonged and stable cycle life under real air environment conditions. This work presents a novel approach to realizing practical Li–air batteries by capturing water on the separator's surface. It also provides insights into the exploration and design of separators for enabling practical Li–air batteries toward their commercialization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.202311821","authors":["Haonan Jiang","Siqi Meng","Rui Gao","Dongxue Chu","Ze Gao","Jiaqi Hu","Hongji Xu","Ming Feng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-10T09:07:01Z","doi":"10.1002/smll.202311821","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-443-19233-3.00003-1","name":"Economic assessment and environmental challenges of carbon capture using membrane techniques","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-443-19233-3.00003-1","authors":["Samane Ghandehariun","Jabraeil Ahbabi Saray"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-26T16:38:21Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-443-19233-3.00003-1","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100189","name":"Parametric Investigation of CO2 Desorption of Zeolite 13X Under Microwave Condition","source":"crossref","abstract":"In this study, a parametric experimental analysis is performed to investigate the adsorption and desorption processes by evaluating CO2 concentration, sorbent temperature, adsorption, and desorption capacities, and desorption efficiency using Zeolite 13X with a modified multimode microwave oven. Four parameters varied: average microwave powers (336 to 504 W), gas flow rate (60 to 100 ml/min), regeneration temperature (80 - 120 ⁰C) as well as the presence of moisture with an initial CO2 concentration of 20%. This work is the first study that investigates these four main parameters’ effects together on the characteristics of CO2 desorption process of Zeolite 13X. While the adsorption was completed faster with higher flow rates with a faster breakthrough curve, the highest CO2 adsorbed amount was found at the lowest flow rates. The moisture effect on the adsorption capacity was also found to be negative with an adsorption capacity reduction of 20% under wet conditions. The MW power was the key parameter since it controls the process (temperature), and the desorption stage in all conditions were completed faster with higher microwave power rates. However, low MW power always provided better results in terms of CO2 desorbed amount and desorption efficiency. Moreover, while higher flow rate speeded up the desorption process, it reduced the desorption efficiency. Moisture impact was found to be quite significant with a desorption efficiency reduction of 25%. It was assumed that this reduction is attributed to the competition between the thermal desorption of CO2 and the absorption of CO2 by extra water in the system. Overall, while the amount of desorbed CO2 varied between 1.13 and 1.76 mmol CO2/g, the desorption efficiency changed from 51% to 75%.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100189","authors":["Mustafa Erguvan","Shahriar Amini"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-02T18:02:33Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ccst.2024.100189","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1068/p7003","name":"Attentional Capture by Change in Direct Gaze","source":"crossref","abstract":"In three experiments, we examined whether change in direct gaze was better at capturing visuospatial attention than non-direct gaze change.

However, running the heat pump by alternatively employing the more advantageous source requires the integration of a controller capable of continuously monitoring and predicting the heat pump's performance in response to dynamic environmental and operational variables. Even so, a selective alternate operation does not allow to get the maximum possible performance from the use of the two heat sources. A different approach to address this challenge is the simultaneous utilization of the two sources, by properly combining two evaporators in the CO2 circuit. This paper presents an experimental investigation of a dual-source heat pump using CO2 as refrigerant, which can operate in three different evaporation modes: air-mode (using a finned-coil evaporator), solar-mode (using a photovoltaic-thermal PV-T evaporator), and simultaneous-mode (using both the evaporators simultaneously). The novel solution presented here does not require to split the refrigerant flow rate between the two evaporators and at the same time it solves the problem of possible maldistribution at the inlet of the evaporators. Experimental data indicate that the heat pump operating in simultaneous-mode allows to increase the evaporation pressure and the coefficient of performance compared to operation in air-mode or solar-mode. The measurements have been employed for validating a model of the system, capable of predicting steady-state and dynamic performance under various environmental and operational conditions. Simulation results show that the simultaneous-mode operation can be outperformed by the solar-mode only at high irradiance and low air temperature, when the evaporation temperature gets higher than the air temperature. Finally, the impact of the number of PV-T collectors and solar irradiance on the heat pump performance has been simulated and discussed. On this regard, the simultaneous use of the two heat sources adds more flexibility to the system and its design, because even the availability of a small solar area can contribute enhancing the performance over the mere air source heat pump.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2024.123478","authors":["Riccardo Conte","Emanuele Zanetti","Marco Tancon","Marco Azzolin","Sergio Girotto","Davide Del Col"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-31T15:06:50Z","doi":"10.1016/j.apenergy.2024.123478","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70675/253380f4zc472z4ae7za11czf6fe56e805d5","name":"Déplétion de la contamination de l'hôte utilisant la technique de capture par hybridation sur sondes spécifiques pour l'identification de pathogènes humains par métagénomique en séquençage direct","source":"crossref","abstract":"La métagénomique virale est une approche prometteuse pour la détection et l’identification sans a priori de potentiels nouveaux pathogènes.Cependant, son utilisation reste encore marginale en raison de l’importante contamination des viromes par les séquences nucléiques de l’hôte.L'objectif de cette thèse était d’améliorer l’approche de métagénomique pour le diagnostic clinique de maladies infectieuses virales en augmentant le ratio de séquences pathogène/hôte par déplétion des acides nucléiques humains.Le premier chapitre consiste en une synthèse bibliographique des approches de métagénomique virale en recherche clinique et des challenges à relever dans ce domaine.

Major components which were developed and made operational for the instrument include an efficient inlet for directly sampling particles in air, a wide dynamic range ion detector and a minicomputer-based ion-burst measurement system.

A rhenium oven ionizer was designed and constructed for the purpose of trapping particles which enter via the direct inlet. High-speed particles were trapped in the oven yielding a measurement sensitivity comparable to that for particles which are preloaded.

In the present study, three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS) of ammonia/air premixed slot jet flames with varying Karlovitz numbers (Ka) and cracking ratios were performed. Three cases were considered, including two pure ammonia/air flames with different turbulence intensities and one partially cracked ammonia/air flame with high turbulence intensity. The effects of turbulence intensity and partial ammonia cracking on turbulence–flame interactions and NO emission characteristics of the flames were investigated. It was shown that the turbulent flame speed is higher for the flames with high turbulence intensity. In general, the flame displacement speed is negatively correlated with curvature in negative curvature regions, while the correlation is weak in the positive curvature regions for highly turbulent flames. Most flame area is consumed in negatively curved regions and produced in positively curved regions. It was found that the NO mass fraction is higher in the flame with partial ammonia cracking compared to the pure ammonia/air flames. The NO pathway analysis shows that the NH → NO pathway is enhanced, while the NO consumption pathway is suppressed in the partially cracked ammonia/air flame. The NO mass fraction is higher in regions of negative curvature than positive curvature. Interestingly, the NO mass fraction is found to be negatively correlated with the local equivalence ratio, which is consistent in both the DNS and the corresponding laminar premixed flames.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0215258","authors":["Tingquan Tian","Haiou Wang","Kun Luo","Jianren Fan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-16T16:22:14Z","doi":"10.1063/5.0215258","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.iecr.3c02039","name":"Dual Microreactor Concept for Efficient Enzymatic Direct Air Capture and Formate Generation through CO<sub>2</sub> Reduction Combining Golden Hydrogen’s Potential","source":"crossref","abstract":"Enzyme-mediated direct CO 2 hydrogenation with upstream enzyme-mediated direct air capture (DAC) in interconnected multiphase fixed-bed microreactors (FBMRs) has been envisioned for the first time for the bioconversion of atmospheric CO 2 .

The next decade is critical for technological innovation and deployment to meet mid-century carbon removal goals of 10–20 GtCO2/yr. Direct air capture (DAC) is positioned to play a critical role in carbon removal, yet remains under paced in deployment efforts, mainly because of high costs. This study outlines a roadmap for DAC cost reductions through the exploitation of low-temperature heat, recent U.S. policy drivers, and logical, regional end-use opportunities in the United States. Specifically, two scenarios are identified that allow for the production of compressed high-purity CO2 for costs ≤$300/tCO2, net delivered with an opportunity to scale to 19 MtCO2/yr. These scenarios use thermal energy from geothermal and nuclear power plants to produce steam and transport the purified CO2 via trucks to the nearest opportunity for direct use or subsurface permanent storage. Although some utilization pathways result in the re-emission of CO2 and cannot be considered true carbon removal, they would provide economic incentive to deploying DAC plants at scale by mid-century. In addition, the federal tax credit 45Q was applied for qualifying facilities (i.e., producing ≥100 ktCO2/yr).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.0c00476","authors":["Noah McQueen","Peter Psarras","Hélène Pilorgé","Simona Liguori","Jiajun He","Mengyao Yuan","Caleb M.

The long-term goal of negative emission requires methods to remove carbon directly from the atmosphere, oceanwater, and nonpoint sources. Ionic liquids (ILs) have had a pivotal impact on finding and implementing innovative solutions that enable a more sustainable future. Here, we report the first example of an IL-enabled approach for direct CO 2 capture from the atmosphere on a laboratory scale. These de novo bioderived materials represent an ideal milieu for direct carbon capture applications because of their nonvolatility and a priori low toxicity. Easily prepared liquid salts based on a mixture of three common amino acids, valine, leucine, and isoleucine, were found to be effective sorbents for ready and reversible CO 2 sequestration from air despite its very low concentration. Collectively known as branched-chain amino acid, they are commonly derived from biowaste products, for example, feathers, fur, and even human hair. Therefore, the resultant ILs from the “waste” amino acids provide an exciting prospect in terms of CO 2 transformation and waste utilization. We provided valuable design insights for engineering structure–property relationships in amino acid-based ILs. The impact of moisture on the absorption characteristics and capacity was evaluated in ambient conditions.

Recently, however, increasing attention has been paid to a carbon dioxide removal approach that removes greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. While this approach utilizes diverse technologies, this paper focuses on direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS) technologies. This technology is being considered as one of the mitigation options by governments and private sectors in several developed countries. Direct air capture (DAC) technology is also included in Korea’s 2050 carbon neutrality scenario. Yet, DAC technology, which is related to DACCS technology, has a very small stake in that scenario. Furthermore, Korea has never undertaken R&D projects on DACCS technologies. Although some R&D projects have been conducted in Korea with yielded results, they were on general carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies, not directly dealing with DACCS. Therefore, this paper attempts to explore Korea’s R&D potential for DACCS, focusing on DAC technologies, for DACCS technology deployment in Korea to meet the national mitigation target. In this regard, this paper questions whether the current research capacities of Korea are compatible with those required for DACCS technologies. From previous literature on three factors that influence the deployment of DACCS technologies, i) technological factors, ii) economic factors, and iii) environmental factors, this paper formulated an analytical framework with four technological factor components: i) capture materials, ii) capture process, iii) required (input) energy, and iv) carbon credits from technology project implementation.

However, conventional DAC systems relying on temperature swing adsorption (TSA) often suffer from slow heating/cooling rates and high energy consumption. In this work, we developed Fe 3 O 4 /SBA-15-PEI, synthesized via co-precipitation and impregnation, and applied for the first time in magnetic-induced swing adsorption (MISA) under DAC conditions. The integration of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles into the SBA-15 mesostructure endowed the adsorbent with magnetic responsiveness while improving its CO 2 uptake from 1.21 to 1.53 mmol/g (30 °C, 500 ppm CO 2 /Ar). The CO 2 adsorption capacity exhibited a strong dependence on both humidity and humidification strategy, reaching 2.05 mmol/g at RH = 30% when dry CO 2 was introduced after prehumidification, and 3.2 mmol/g at RH = 90% when humid CO 2 was directly introduced. Under the MISA process, Fe 3 O 4 /SBA-15-PEI achieved rapid heating/cooling rates of 12.5/22.7 °C/min under dry conditions and 5.0/11.6 °C/min under humid conditions, which were 328%/483% (dry) and 138%/218% (humid) faster than those under TSA, respectively. Fe 3 O 4 /SBA-15-PEI also demonstrated enhanced CO 2 desorption performance, achieving desorption capacities of 1.25 mmol/g under dry and 3.24 mmol/g under humid conditions, with corresponding efficiencies of 92.6 and 99.9%, respectively. Additionally, diffusion modeling revealed a favorable time constant ( D / r 2 ) of 1.84 × 10 -3 min -1 . The adsorbent also maintained a CO 2 uptake of ∼1.46 mmol/g over 10 cycles of humid DAC tests, indicating good kinetic and stability. Overall, these findings demonstrate the potential of MISA-regulated adsorbents for energy-efficient, rapid-cycle DAC systems and offer insights into the design of smart, responsive adsorbents.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.5c15078","authors":["Xiaohao Jia","Kyle Newport","Ali A.

By taking advantage of enhanced CO 2 mass transfer within alkaline media due to the reaction between CO 2 and OH - , carbon can be directly captured from the ambient air and used by the algae. Achieving such goal requires algal strains that can grow fast under alkaline conditions. In this study, a newly isolated alkaliphilic cyanobacterial strain Cyanobacterium sp. PNNL-SSL1 was characterized for its temperature, pH, and salinity tolerance. The result shows that PNNL-SSL1 could sustain grow at pH above 11.2 but exhibited the highest growth rates at pH below 10.5. The strain is a warm season strain and grows the best at 10 PSU (practical salinity unit). The strain was then evaluated in indoor climate simulation ponds under outdoor-relevant pond cultivation conditions with carbon supplied only through direct air CO 2 capture at the culture surface. Two batch culture runs, at slightly different initial pH, exhibited average biomass productivity of 15.2 g m -2 day -1 on ash-free dry weight basis. CO 2 was directly captured from the air at an average rate of 21.6 g CO 2 m -2 day -1 (78.8 tons ha -1 yr -1 ), contributing 74% of the carbon fixed in the biomass. The results demonstrated that PNNL-SSL1 is a promising strain for biomass production using air CO 2 as the carbon source.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou.2023.102399","authors":["Song Gao","Kyle Pittman","Scott Edmundson","Michael Huesemann","Mattias Greer","William Louie","Peter Chen","David Nobles","John Benemann","Braden Crowe"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-01-19T21:44:13Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jcou.2023.102399","addedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T01:47:30.076Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12952/journal.elementa.000009","name":"Does air capture constitute a viable backstop against a bad CO2 trip?","source":"crossref","abstract":"Despite all the talk about reducing fossil fuel CO2 emissions, the amount produced each year keeps rising. In 1990, it was 20 billion tons. By 2013 it had risen to 32 billion tons. The content in our atmosphere which has increased from its natural level of 280 parts per million in 1850 to just under 400 parts per million (ppm) in 2013, is currently going up at a rate of 2.5 ppm per year. Recent discoveries of vast amounts of recoverable natural gas and petroleum insure a steady supply for many decades to come. This glut holds down the price of fossil fuel energy, setting back the thrust to substitute renewables. If population continues to rise one percent per year and if per capita fossil fuel energy use continues to rise by three percent per year, then the rate of CO2 rise will reach 5 ppm per year by 2030.Despite these sobering facts, little of consequence is being done to meet this challenge. We continue to nibble when bold action is needed. These nibbles by developed countries have been swamped by increased energy demand in traditionally poor countries. As long as this state of affairs persists, the world will continue to warm and at an ever faster pace. As in none of the areas of concern regarding the consequences of global warming can firm predictions be made, we are, in a sense, flying blind. We suspect that bad weather may lie ahead but can’t seem to find a way to change course. As the late Roger Revelle often said, “we are conducting man’s greatest geophysical experiment.” And that it is.Although there can be no certainty regarding the consequences of the ongoing CO2 buildup, it would be exceeding foolish to disregard the possibility that they will be of a magnitude that will bring about a global crisis. Even if the odds of this happening are small, we should have a contingency plan to deal with it were it to happen. Our military spends billions of dollars each year to maintain the capability to deal with a global war. The NIH spends untold tens of millions of dollars preparing to ward off a pandemic. Yet, we spend only a pittance preparing to cope with a global climate crisis.Were such a crisis to befall us, we would have two major response options. One would be to pull CO2 back out of the atmosphere and bury it in the pore spaces in strata well below the Earth’s surface. The other would be to alter the Earth’s reflectivity in order to reduce the solar input. The former would constitute a permanent solution for it would offer a means to stabilize the atmosphere’s CO2 content at some optimum level. The latter would constitute only a band aid designed to tide us over until a permanent solution could be implemented. Both of these are often referred to as geo-engineering schemes. Although this is certainly the case for albedo modification, I consider CO2 capture and storage to be a form of waste management. For reasons similar to those which forced us into garbage disposal and into sewage treatment, we should bite the bullet and put away the CO2 we produce.Although there are several fledgling projects directed at air capture, only a few tens of million dollars has been spent on them. Three groups in the U.S. (Stolaroff et al., 2008; Choi et al., 2011; Lackner et al., 2012) and one in Switzerland (Baciocchi et al., 2006) have been pursuing research on air capture for over a decade, yet none of them have garnered the funds necessary to build and test a complete and automated proto-type. In the absence of such demonstration units, a very wide range of cost estimates float about. They range from Klaus Lackner’s (2012) claim that it can likely be done for less than 100 dollars a ton of CO2, to an estimate by House et al. (2011) of 1000 dollars a ton of CO2. If Lackner is correct, then, for example, the cost of retrieving the CO2 produced by automobiles would add less than one dollar per gallon to the price of gasoline. This would certainly be affordable. But if the House et al. (2011) estimate were to turn out to be the correct one, then it would add ten dollars a gallon to the price of gasoline. Because of this very wide range, it is widely believed that the cost would lie somewhere in the middle, leading to a consensus cost of about 600 dollars a ton of CO2 (American Physical Society, 2011). If this proves to be the price, then air capture of CO2 is unlikely to be viable.Many who oppose the air capture option view stack capture as the better way to go. The CO2 content of power plant effluent is about 10 percent while that of air is 250 times less. But as Lackner points out, the thermodynamic cost of air capture does not scale with concentration. Rather, it scales with the logarithm of concentration. Looked at in this way, the difference in energy cost is closer to a factor of two. And, as discussed below, air capture has other advantages that would likely balance out much of the twofold difference. Also, in a crisis, air capture could be implemented far more rapidly.To understand this, it is necessary to understand how air capture might be done. As I happen to be a long-time colleague of Klaus Lackner, I am quite familiar with his views on this. I find him to be both a brilliant physicist and also a very thorough and honest man. He has spent much of the last 13 years working on this problem. For this reason, I assign a much higher likelihood to his cost estimate than to those made by others. As outlined in Lackner et al. (2012), they are convinced that air capture should be done using modular units that could be mass produced and shipped in containers to the sites of deployment. If such a unit were to capture one ton of CO2 per day, then to capture the 32 billion tons per year that we currently produce would require about 100 million such units. Lackner estimates that the amount of material required to build each unit would be comparable to that in an automobile. As one ton of CO2 per day is the amount of CO2 released by about 40 automobiles, in order to compensate for the globes 500 million or so autos would require 13 million Lackner units. Although a seemingly enormous number, producing these units certainly falls well within the limits of the world’s industrial capacity. For example we, as a world, manufacture about 80 million automobiles each year.Working with his colleague, Allen Wright, Lackner happened upon a commercially available plastic loaded with chemically active islands which exchange H2O for CO2. When exposed to air, CO2 is taken up and H2O is released, then, when bathed in water, the plastic is rehydrated and the CO2 is released. It has two very important advantages over sodium hydroxide, the traditional CO2 absorbent. First, rather than being a highly caustic liquid, it is an inert solid. Second, four times less energy is required to remove CO2 from Lackner’s plastic than from sodium hydroxide.Lackner envisions packing fibers into mattress-shaped collection units. As they would be exposed directly to the atmosphere, no pumps would be needed. The wind would do the job for free. Once loaded with CO2, the mattresses would be placed in sealed chambers where they would be ‘sprayed’ with water. Once the CO2 had been released, the chamber gas would be pumped through a secondary absorber allowing the CO2 to be separated from the chamber air. The pure CO2 recovered in this way would be compressed until it liquefied. The liquid CO2 would be piped to the site of burial. Wright and Lackner have repeated the CO2 - H2O cycle hundreds of times without any indication that the plastic loses its CO2 uptake capacity. If it were to, it could be rejuvenated by rinsing it with a sodium bicarbonate solution.A distinct advantage of air capture over stack capture is that the CO2 would be buried at the collection site rather than piped hundreds of miles away. As water competes with carbon dioxide for sites on the plastic, air capture would be more efficient were it carried out in arid areas. As much of the world’s dry lands have a low population density, there would be less environmental opposition to their installation. Also, as these dry areas receive full sunshine, the energy needed to operate the collection modules could be supplied by solar-voltaic panels or solar-thermal units.Another advantage of air capture relative to stack capture is that there would not be the necessity to strip the air of all of its CO2. The important thing for air capture would be to optimize the rate of uptake of CO2. It turns out that this would be achieved at something like 30 percent removal.Yet another advantage is that air capture units would be mass produced and mass installed. By contrast, refitting existing electrical power plants for stack capture would require custom designs and time-consuming approvals. This being the case, in a crisis situation, air capture units could be constructed and installed far more rapidly.Now I don’t want to mislead regarding how massive and expensive this would be. If 100 million units are required to match today’s production, then in order to bring the CO2 content down would require 100 million additional units for each 2.5 ppm per year reduction. So, if we wanted to draw it down by 10 ppm per year, we would have to have 400 million additional Lackner units. As there would certainly be a limit on the amount of capital which could be devoted to this activity, so also would there be a limit on how rapidly CO2 could be drawn down. In a crisis situation, this might require that some form of albedo modification be introduced on an interim basis until CO2 had been drawn down to an acceptable level.As much of the world’s GNP goes into producing CO2, reversing the trend by air capture will be a very expensive proposition. But looked at in a positive way, the capture and storage of CO2 would create an industry 10 to 20 percent the size of the energy industry (i.e., lots of jobs). Once implemented, it would raise the price of fossil fuel energy, supplying an additional edge for renewable sources.In my estimation, it is of the utmost importance that a research and development effort be launched with the aim of finding out the best way to conduct air capture and what the cost would be. Currently the people carrying out research on this subject are involved with for-profit companies. As I have already said, progress has been very slow. No one has found a way to raise the money necessary to move at the needed speed. Governments are only marginally involved. Industry sees it as either too far off or as a threat to its bottom line. Venture capitalists don’t see any short-term profit in it. This being the case, there should be a government-funded entity charged with this task. It should be run in an open manner welcoming a wide range of scientists to share in the effort. As did the Manhattan Project, it should have set goals and time tables.One might ask whether such an effort would be wasted were no crisis to emerge. The answer is ‘no.’ Eventually the dependence on fossil fuels will come to an end and the world will be powered by renewables. But, as this energy utopia lies many decades in the future, by the time we arrive there, we will be saddled with an atmosphere laden with excess CO2. As we will experience a whole series of global climates as CO2 undergoes its rise, a consensus will likely be reached that some lower CO2 content would improve global well being. As it will take the ocean a century or more to suck up the desired amount of CO2, the world would likely opt to speed it up. This would require air capture.Another issue will be how to fuel our transportation fleet. The major option currently under consideration is rechargeable batteries. Although they will prove ideal for local run-abouts, they will not be satisfactory for long-distance land transport, let alone ships and airplanes. Further, our automobiles are wonderful gadgets. They serve us well. If it weren’t for the CO2 and other pollutants they emit, there would be no reason to do away with them. With air capture, there would be no need to do this. Hydrogen produced by the electrolysis of water could be combined with CO2 captured from the atmosphere to manufacture liquid fuels. Done in this way, CO2 and H2O would be combined to make liquid fuel and oxygen gas. The liquid fuel would then be burned in oxygen producing CO2 and H2O. Everything would be recycled. As shown by Germany during World War II and by South Africa during the apartheid, manufacturing artificial gasoline is readily doable.As mentioned above, I look at air capture as a scheme for waste management. Garbage brought disease to our streets. We learned to dispose of it. Sewage poisoned our waters. We learned to treat it. CO2 threatens to change our climate. Hence we must learn how to capture and bury it.When asked about whether an effort should be launched to develop a means to capture CO2 from the atmosphere, a common response is “It can wait. We should instead increase our efforts to bring about the transition to renewable energy. Touting air capture will take the pressure off.” Although I agree that this is a valid concern, I don’t buy it. Just as it took a long time to go from the Ford Model T to the Toyota Corolla, developing these modules will require many iterations. Hence the development of a viable, cost effective and environmentally acceptable means of capturing CO2 from the atmosphere will take several decades. Added to the time required to engineer and fabricate proto types will be long-term field testing. As repair, modification and replacement of these units will be expensive, before we start to build and deploy them in large numbers, we must learn by experience how they will react to their environmental setting. They will have to survive wind and dust storms and also snow and ice. As they will attract the local fauna, threats from birds, pack rats, and a host of other creatures of the wild will certainly have to be dealt with.The bottom line is that air capture not only offers a backstop against a bad CO2 trip, but it could also be used to draw CO2 back down once the energy utopia has been reached, and eventually it could be used in the manufacture of gasoline. However, as its viability is heavily dependent on cost, a major effort should be initiated to narrow the wide range of estimates currently in play. The best way to do this would be to create a university-based entity charged with this task.© 2013 Broecker.

The atomistic mechanism of cutting is revealed by detailed analysis of irradiation-induced reactions of bonds reorganization and atom ejection in the vicinity of the nickel cluster, showing a highly complex interplay of different chemical transformations catalysed by the metal cluster. One of the most prevalent pathways includes three consecutive stages: formation of polyyne carbon chains from carbon nanotube, dissociation of the carbon chains into single and pairs of adatoms adsorbed on the nickel cluster, and ejection of these adatoms leading to the cutting of nanotube. Significant variations in the atom ejection rate are discovered depending on the process stage and nanotube diameter.

Given the harm such models are causing to the environment, there has been little focus on the carbon footprints of such models. This study analyzes carbon emissions from 2D and 3D latent diffusion models (LDMs) during training and data generation phases, revealing a surprising finding: the synthesis of large images contributes most significantly to these emissions. We assess different scenarios including model sizes, image dimensions, distributed training, and data generation steps. Our findings reveal substantial carbon emissions from these models, with training 2D and 3D models comparable to driving a car for 10 km and 90 km, respectively. The process of data generation is even more significant, with CO2 emissions equivalent to driving 160 km for 2D models and driving for up to 3345 km for 3D synthesis. Additionally, we found that the location of the experiment can increase carbon emissions by up to 94 times, and even the time of year can influence emissions by up to 50%.

This transfer may be modulated by the glacial/interglacial cycling of water between oceans and continental ice sheets, which alters the surface loading of the solid Earth. The consequent volcanic-carbon fluctuations have been proposed as a pacing mechanism for Pleistocene glacial cycles. This mechanism is dependant on the amplitude and lag of the mid-ocean ridge response to sea-level changes. Here we develop and analyse a new model for that response, eliminating some questionable assumptions made in previous work. Our model calculates the carbon flux, accounting for the thermodynamic effect of mantle carbon: reduction of the solidus temperature and a deeper onset of melting. We analyse models forced by idealised, periodic sea level and conclude that fluctuations in melting rate are the prime control on magma and carbon flux. We also discuss a model forced by a reconstruction of eustatic sea level over the past 800 kyr. It indicates that peak-to-trough variations of magma and carbon flux are up to about 20% and 10% of the mean flux, respectively. Peaks in mid-ocean ridge emissions lag peaks in sea-level forcing by less than about 20 kyr and the lag could well be shorter. The amplitude and lag are sensitive to the rate of melt segregation. The lag is much shorter than the time it takes for melt to travel vertically across the melting region.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.03154v2","authors":["Nestor G. Cerpa","David W.

This has led to discussions about the existence of terrestrial planets with a carbon-dominated composition that is very different from the composition of the Earth. The C/O values were obtained by determining carbon abundances from high-excitation CI lines and oxygen abundances from the forbidden [OI] line at 6300 A. This weak line is, however, strongly affected by a nickel blend at high metallicities. Aiming for more precise C/O ratios, oxygen abundances in this paper are derived from the high-excitation OI triplet at 7774 A and carbon abundances from the CI lines at 5052 and 5380 A using MARCS model atmospheres and including non-LTE corrections. The results do not confirm the high C/O ratios previously found.

It was found that carbon monovacancies have the lowest formation energy, while phosphorous divacancies have the highest one in both CP allotropes. A strong mechanical anisotropy for carbon phosphide was found with the Youngś modulus and the failure stress along ZZ direction being an order of magnitude larger than those along AC direction. In both allotropes, the Youngs modulus, failure stress and strain are considerably affected by vacancies, especially along AC direction. Fracture of pristine CP monolayer occurred via the rupture of phosphorous-phosphorous bonds when CP monolayer is stretched along AC direction, while via the rupture of carbon-phosphorous bonds when stretched along ZZ direction. The failure strain and stress along the AC direction are affected only by phosphorous vacancies, while along the ZZ direction, they are almost equally affected by both phosphorous and carbon vacancies.

However, the high cost of the current dominant PAN-based CFs hinders their application. The use of low-cost alternative precursors may overcome this issue. Unfortunately, low-cost CFs derived from cheaper single component precursors suffer from poor mechanical properties. Developing composite CFs by adding nanoadditives is very promising for low-cost CFs. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of carbonization condition impacts and polymer/additives conversion mechanisms during whole CF production are essential to develop low-cost CFs. In this work, we have demonstrated how the carbonization temperature affects the PAN/graphene CFs properties by performing a series of ReaxFF based molecular dynamics simulations. We found that graphene edges along with the nitrogen and oxygen functional groups have a catalytic role and act as seeds for the graphitic structure growth. Our MD simulations unveil that the addition of the graphene to PAN precursor modifies all-carbon membered rings in CFs and enhances the alignments of 6-member carbon rings in carbonization which leads to superior mechanical properties compare to PAN-based CFs. These ReaxFF simulation results are validates by experimental structural and mechanical characterizations. Interestingly, mechanical characterizations indicate that PAN/graphene CFs carbonized at 1250 C demonstrate 90.9% increase in strength and 101.9% enhancement in Young's modulus compare to the PAN-based CFs carbonized at 1500 C.

Based on high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra, we derive abundances for 17 elements in the range from Li to Ba. Three of the four stars exhibit moderate to large over-abundances of carbon, but have no enhancements in their neutron-capture elements. The most metal-poor star in the sample, HE~0233$-$0343 ($\\mathrm{[Fe/H]} = -4.68$), is a subgiant with a carbon enhancement of $\\mathrm{[C/Fe]}= +3.5$, slightly above the carbon-enhancement plateau suggested by Spite et al. No carbon is detected in the spectrum of the fourth star, but the quality of its spectrum only allows for the determination of an upper limit on the carbon abundance ratio of $\\mathrm{[C/Fe]} &lt; +1.7$. We detect lithium in the spectra of two of the carbon-enhanced stars, including HE~0233$-$0343. Both stars with Li detections are Li-depleted, with respect to the Li plateau for metal-poor dwarfs found by Spite \\&amp; Spite. This suggests that whatever site(s) produced C either do not completely destroy lithium, or that Li has been astrated by early-generation stars and mixed with primordial Li in the gas that formed the stars observed at present. The derived abundances for the $α$-elements and iron-peak elements of the four stars are similar to those found in previous large samples of extremely and ultra metal-poor stars. Finally, a large spread is found in the abundances of Sr and Ba for these stars, possibly influenced by enrichment from fast rotating stars in the early universe.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1405.5846v1","authors":["T.

We performed a series of molecular dynamics simulations of longitudinal tension and compression on armchair carbon nanotubes, comparing two full atomistic models, described by means Tersoff and AIREBO potentials, and the coarse grained model described by means of TersoffCG. We followed each stage and mode of deformation, finding a good matching between the stress strain curves under tension independently from the used potential, with a small difference in the pre-fracture zone. Conversely, under compression the coarse grain model presents a buckling stress almost the double of the full atomistic models, and a more than double post-buckling stress. With the increase of the nanotube diameter, the capturing of the buckling modes is enhanced, however the stress overestimation remains. A decreasing of the three body angular term in the potential can be a rough way to recover the buckling stress, with small losses in the capturing of the post-buckling behavior. In spite of a good agreement under compression, the fracture behavior of the nanotube is strongly influenced, suggesting this modification only when no fractures are present.

In this paper, we formally define the SMRA framework and introduce both storage and transmission rates to characterize the performance of SMRA. We derive achievable transmission and storage rates for lossless source coding of i.i.d. and non i.i.d. sources, and transmission and storage rates-distortion regions for Gaussian sources. We also show two practical implementations of SMRA systems based on rate-compatible LDPC codes. Both theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that SMRA systems can reach the same transmission rates as in traditional point to point source coding schemes, while having a reasonable overhead in terms of storage rate.

Based on a systematic evolutionary structure searches, we report a complete phase diagram of the C-N system at 0-300 GPa and analyze the hardest metastable structures. Surprising- ly, we find that at zero pressure, the earlier proposed graphitic-C3N4 structure (P-6m2) is dynamically unstable and the lowest energy form of structures based on s-triazine unit and s-heptazine unit have similar topology and belong to the same space group.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1408.2901v2","authors":["Huafeng Dong","Artem R.

An alternative can be provided by carbon reanalyses (whether assimilating proxy variables, such as chlorophyll-$a$, or directly carbon), but these are often expensive to run. We propose to use a computationally cheap ensemble of neural networks (i.e. deep ensemble) to learn the relationship between the directly observable (atmospheric, riverine and ocean) variables and marine carbon pools from a coupled physics-biogeochemistry model. The deep ensemble was trained on a North-West European Shelf (NWES) physical-biogeochemistry model free run simulation. After training, the deep ensemble was run using inputs from the NWES reanalysis instead of the free run, demonstrating that it can efficiently predict several NWES carbon pools (e.g., detritus, zooplankton, heterotrophic bacteria) in much better agreement with the reanalysis than the free run, while also providing uncertainty information. We further show that the deep ensemble performs similarly well when it is driven directly by the observations assimilated into the reanalysis, with the limitation that carbon pools can then be predicted only at the observed locations and times. We focus on explainability of the results and demonstrate potential use of the deep ensembles for future climate what-if scenarios. We suggest that model-informed machine learning presents a viable alternative to expensive reanalyses and could complement observations, wherever they are missing and/or highly uncertain.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.10178v3","authors":["Jozef Skakala"],"tags":["q-bio.QM","cs.LG"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-13T20:30:42Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z"},{"id":"arxiv:0611452v1","name":"Theory of superconductivity of carbon nanotubes and graphene","source":"arxiv","abstract":"We present a new mechanism of carbon nanotube superconductivity that originates from edge states which are specific to graphene.

In this paper, we investigate the self-discharge phenomenon in energy storage using a queueing system model, which we refer to as leakage queue. When the average net charge is positive, we discover that the leakage queue operates in one of two regimes: a leakage-dominated regime and a capacity-dominated regime. We find that in the leakage-dominated regime, the stored energy stabilizes at a point that is below the storage capacity. Under suitable independence assumptions for energy supply and demand, the stored energy in this regime closely follows a normal distribution. We present two methods for computing probabilities of underflow and overflow at a leakage queue.

Similarly, lithium-ion batteries are becoming ubiquitous, but even their lower bounding asymptote cost is too high to enable cost-competitive dispatchable renewables. Here, we introduce a concept based on thermal energy grid storage (TEGS) using a multijunction photovoltaic heat engine (MPV) with promising initial experimental results that could meet the low cost required to enable cost competitive dispatchable renewables. The approach exploits an important tradeoff between the accession of an extremely low cost per unit energy stored, by storing heat instead of electricity directly, while paying the penalty of a lower round trip efficiency. To understand why this tradeoff is advantageous, we first introduce a framework for evaluating storage technologies that treats round trip efficiency (RTE) as a variable, in addition to cost per unit energy stored (CPE) and cost per unit power (CPP). It is from this perspective that the TEGS-MPV concept offers a compelling economic proposition.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.06647v1","authors":["Caleb Amy","Hamid Reza Seyf","Myles A.

In the classical implementation of two-way cuckoo hashing, the memory is partitioned into contiguous disjoint fixed-size buckets. Each item is hashed to two buckets, and may be stored in any of the positions within those buckets. Ref. [2] analyzed a variation in which the buckets are contiguous and overlap. However, many systems retrieve data from secondary storage in same-size blocks called pages. Fetching a page is a relatively expensive process; but once a page is fetched, its contents can be accessed orders of magnitude faster. We utilize this property of memory retrieval, presenting a variant of cuckoo hashing incorporating the following constraint: each bucket must be fully contained in a single page, but buckets are not necessarily contiguous. Empirical results show that this modification increases memory utilization and decreases the number of iterations required to insert an item. If each item is hashed to two buckets of capacity two, the page size is 8, and each bucket is fully contained in a single page, the memory utilization equals 89.71% in the classical contiguous disjoint bucket variant, 93.78% in the contiguous overlapping bucket variant, and increases to 97.46% in our new non-contiguous bucket variant. When the memory utilization is 92% and we use breadth first search to look for a vacant position, the number of iterations required to insert a new item is dramatically reduced from 545 in the contiguous overlapping buckets variant to 52 in our new non-contiguous bucket variant.

In addition to the blockchain, full nodes also store a blockchain-summary, called the \\emph{state}, which is used to efficiently verify transactions. With the size of popular blockchains and their states growing rapidly, full nodes require massive storage resources in order to keep up with the scaling. This leads to a tug-of-war between scaling and decentralization since fewer entities can afford expensive resources. We present \\emph{hybrid nodes} for proof-of-work (PoW) cryptocurrencies which can validate transactions, validate blocks, validate states, mine, select the main chain, bootstrap new hybrid nodes, and verify payment proofs. With the use of a protocol called \\emph{trimming}, hybrid nodes only retain polylogarithmic number of blocks in the chain length in order to represent the proof-of-work of the blockchain. Hybrid nodes are also optimized for the storage of the state with the use of \\emph{stateless blockchain} protocols. The lowered storage requirements should enable more entities to join as hybrid nodes and improve the decentralization of the system. We define novel theoretical security models for hybrid nodes and show that they are provably secure. We also show that the storage requirement of hybrid nodes is near-optimal with respect to our security definitions.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.05869v1","authors":["Parikshit Hegde","Robert Streit","Yanni Georghiades","Chaya Ganesh","Sriram Vishwanath"],"tags":["cs.CR"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-07-12T22:21:27Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2602.01873v2","name":"Tidehunter: Large-Value Storage With Minimal Data Relocation","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Log-Structured Merge-Trees (LSM-trees) dominate persistent key-value storage but suffer from high write amplification from 10x to 30x under random workloads due to repeated compaction.

The results indicate that (1) the actual electricity intensity of the best-selling PHEV models (20.2-38.2 kWh/100 km) was 30-40% higher than the New European Driving Cycle values, and the actual gasoline intensity (4.7-23.5 L/100 km) was 3-6 times greater than the New European Driving Cycle values.

To read (and write) data DNA storage exploits technology that has been developed over decades to sequence naturally occurring DNA in the life sciences. To achieve higher accuracy for previously unseen, biological DNA, sequencing relies on extending and training deep machine learning models known as basecallers. This growth in model complexity requires substantial resources, both computational and data sets. It also eliminates the possibility of a compact read head for DNA as a storage medium. We argue that we need to depart from blindly using sequencing models from the life sciences for DNA data storage. The difference is striking: for life science applications we have no control over the DNA, however, in the case of DNA data storage, we control how it is written, as well as the particular write head. More specifically, data-carrying DNA can be modulated and embedded with alignment markers and error correcting codes to guarantee higher fidelity and to carry out some of the work that the machine learning models perform. In this paper, we study accuracy trade-offs between deep model size and error correcting codes. We show that, starting with a model size of 107MB, the reduced accuracy from model compression can be compensated by using simple error correcting codes in the DNA sequences. In our experiments, we show that a substantial reduction in the size of the model does not incur an undue penalty for the error correcting codes used, therefore paving the way for portable data-carrying DNA read head. Crucially, we show that through the joint use of model compression and error correcting codes, we achieve a higher read accuracy than without compression and error correction codes.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.05488v1","authors":["Jasmine Quah","Omer Sella","Thomas Heinis"],"tags":["cs.ET","cs.IT","cs.LG"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-05-11T13:31:57Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2311.12527v1","name":"MetaStore: High-Performance Metagenomic Analysis via In-Storage Computing","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Metagenomics has led to significant advancements in many fields.

In-storage processing can be a fundamental solution for reducing data movement overhead. However, designing an in-storage processing system for metagenomics is challenging because none of the existing approaches can be directly implemented in storage effectively due to the hardware limitations of modern SSDs.

We find that a convergent rate of predictive capacity, comprised of the transfer entropy and active information storage, does not exist, arising through divergent rates of active information storage. We identify that active information storage can be decomposed into two separate quantities that characterise predictive capacity stored in a process: active memory utilisation and instantaneous predictive capacity. The latter involves prediction related to path regularity and so solely inherits the divergent properties of the active information storage, whilst the former permits definitions of pathwise and rate quantities. We formulate measures of memory utilisation for jump and neural spiking processes and illustrate measures of information processing in synthetic neural spiking models and coupled Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models. The application to synthetic neural spiking models demonstrates that active memory utilisation for point processes consists of discontinuous jump contributions (at spikes) interrupting a continuously varying contribution (relating to waiting times between spikes), complementing the behaviour previously demonstrated for transfer entropy in these processes.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.03269v1","authors":["Richard E.

These findings suggest binder content in hard carbon electrodes should be selected according to requirements for both cycle life and film flexibility during cell manufacturing.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.11668v1","authors":["Anne Sawhney","Emmanuel Shittu","Ben Morgan","Elizabeth Sackett","Jenny Baker"],"tags":["physics.chem-ph"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-18T11:16:24Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z"},{"id":"arxiv:0410227v1","name":"Third Dredge-up in Low Mass Stars: Solving the LMC Carbon Star Mystery","source":"arxiv","abstract":"A long standing problem with asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star models has been their inability to produce the low-luminosity carbon stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.

On the other hand, a user running a full node needs to pay a heavy price in terms of storage costs. E.g., the Bitcoin blockchain size has grown over 215GB, in spite of its low throughput. The ledger size for a high throughput blockchain Ripple has already reached 9TB, and it is growing at an astonishing rate of 12GB per day! In this paper, we propose an architecture based on 'fountain codes', a class of erasure codes, that enables any full node to 'encode' validated blocks into a small number of 'coded blocks', thereby reducing its storage costs by orders of magnitude. In particular, our proposed \"Secure Fountain (SeF)\" architecture can achieve a near-optimal trade-off between the storage savings per node and the 'bootstrap cost' in terms of the number of (honest) storage-constrained nodes a new node needs to contact to recover the blockchain. A key technical innovation in SeF codes is to make fountain codes secure against adversarial nodes that can provide maliciously formed coded blocks. Our idea is to use the header-chain as a 'side-information' to check whether a coded block is maliciously formed while it is getting decoded. Further, the 'rateless property' of fountain codes helps in achieving high decentralization and scalability. Our experiments demonstrate that SeF codes tuned to achieve 1000x storage savings enable full nodes to encode the 191GB Bitcoin blockchain into 195MB on average. A new node can recover the blockchain from an arbitrary set of storage-constrained nodes as long as the set contains ~1100 honest nodes on average. Note that for a 1000x storage savings, the fundamental bound on the number of honest nodes to contact is 1000: we need about 10% more in practice.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.12140v1","authors":["Swanand Kadhe","Jichan Chung","Kannan Ramchandran"],"tags":["cs.CR","cs.DC","cs.IT"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-06-28T11:32:33Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1806.09891v1","name":"Ultrahigh Magnetic Fields Produced by Shearing Carbon Nanotubes","source":"arxiv","abstract":"In laboratories, ultrahigh magnetic fields are usually produced with very large currents through superconducting, resistive or hybrid magnets, which require extreme conditions, such as low temperature, huge cooling water or tens of megawatts of power.

These issues jointly inflate storage and memory usage and make I/O the dominant bottleneck in real training workloads.

FFSlim improves storage efficiency and loading throughput through three components: a unified file format that removes media duplication and avoids small-file proliferation; an adaptive retrieval mechanism that enables low-overhead pair-level access and accelerates repeated media loading; and a redundancy detection and aggregation module that converts existing datasets into the FFSlim layout. The experimental results demonstrate that FFSlim achieves 2.07x and 8.26x higher data loading and write throughput on average than the strongest baseline, with minimal storage and index overhead.

The wind expansion velocities of the observed stars are low compared to carbon stars in the thin disc and are lower for the stars in the Halo and the Sgr dSph stream than in the thick disc. We discuss the possibility that the low expansion velocities result from the low metallicity of the Halo carbon stars. This implies that metal-poor carbon stars lose mass at a rate similar to metal-rich carbon stars, but with lower expansion velocities, as predicted by recent theoretical models.

The NMR peak corresponding to the adsorbed species shows a clear change of chemical shift as the applied potential difference is varied. This variation in chemical shift is thought to originate from a combination of ion reorganisation in the pores and changes in ring current shifts due to the changes of electronic density in the carbon. While previous Density Functional Theory calculations suggested that the electronic density has a large effect, the relative contributions of these two effects is challenging to untangle. Here, we use mesoscopic simulations to simulate NMR spectra and investigate the relative importance of ion reorganisation and ring currents on the resulting chemical shift. The model is able to predict chemical shifts in good agreement with NMR experiments and indicates that the ring currents are the dominant contribution. A thorough analysis of a specific electrode/electrolyte combination for which detailed NMR experiments have been reported allows us to confirm that local ion reorganisation has a very limited effect but the relative quantities of ions in pores of different sizes, which can change upon charging/discharging, can lead to a significant effect.

As a response, a growing number of studies analyse their distributional impact ex-ante, commonly relying on microsimulation models. However, distributional impact estimates differ across models due to differences in simulated tax designs, assumptions, modelled components, data sources, and outcome metrics. This study comprehensively reviews methodological choices made in constructing microsimulation models designed to simulate the impacts of carbon taxation and discusses how these choices affect the interpretation of results. It conducts a meta-analysis to assess the influence of modelling choices on distributional impact estimates by estimating a probit model on a sample of 217 estimates across 71 countries. The literature review highlights substantial diversity in modelling choices, with no standard practice emerging. The meta-analysis shows that studies modelling carbon taxes on imported emissions are significantly less likely to find regressive results, while indirect emission coverage has ambiguous effects on regressivity, suggesting that a carbon border adjustment mechanism may reduce carbon tax regressivity. Further, we find that estimates using older datasets, using explicit tax progressivity or income inequality measures, and accounting for household behaviour are associated with a lower likelihood of finding regressive estimates, while the inclusion of general equilibrium effects increases this likelihood.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.07713v1","authors":["Jules Linden","Cathal O'Donoghue","Denisa Sologon"],"tags":["econ.GN"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-12T16:47:44Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1707.00642v2","name":"Defect-enhanced Rashba spin-polarized currents in carbon nanotubes","source":"arxiv","abstract":"The production of spin-polarized currents in pristine carbon nanotubes with Rashba spin-orbit interaction has been shown to be very sensitive to the symmetry of the tubes and the geometry of the setup.

We show that some of the secure network coding schemes can be used to construct efficient secure cloud storage protocols for dynamic data, and we construct such a protocol (DSCS I) based on a secure network coding protocol.

In this study we argue that it is not a coincidence that this threshold closely matches the critical transition of central Carbon burning in massive stars from the convective to radiative regime. In lighter stars, Carbon burns convectively in the center and result in compact final presupernova cores that are likely to result in explosions, while in heavier stars after the transition, it burns as a radiative flame and the stellar cores become significantly harder to explode. Using the KEPLER code we demonstrate the sensitivity of this transition to the rate of $^{12}$C$(α,γ)^{16}$O reaction and the overshoot mixing efficiency, and we argue that the upper mass limit of exploding red supergiants could be employed to constrain uncertain input physics of massive stellar evolution calculations.

We propose \"Software-Defined Data Protection\" (SDP), an adoption of the \"Software-Defined Storage\" approach to non-performance aspects: a trusted controller translates company and application-specific policies to a set of rules deployed on the storage nodes. These, in turn, apply the rules at line-rate but do not take any decisions on their own. Such an approach decouples often changing policies from request-level enforcement and allows storage nodes to implement the latter more efficiently. Even though in-storage processing brings challenges, mainly because it can jeopardize line-rate processing, we argue that today's Smart Storage solutions can already implement the required functionality, thanks to the separation of concerns introduced by SDP. We highlight the challenges that remain, especially that of trusting the storage nodes.

However, the mineralogical make up of such planets is poorly constrained. We performed high-pressure high-temperature laboratory experiments ($P$ = 1$-$2 GPa, $T$ = 1523$-$1823 K) on carbon-enriched chemical mixtures to investigate the deep interiors of Pluto- to Mars-size planets the upper mantles of larger planets. Our results show that these exoplanets, when fully-differentiated, comprise a metallic core, a silicate mantle and a graphite layer on top of the silicate mantle. The silicate mineralogy (olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and spinel) is largely unaffected by the amount of carbon. Metals are either two immiscible iron-rich alloys (S-rich and S-poor) or a single iron-rich alloy in the Fe-C-S system with immiscibility depending on the S/Fe ratio and core pressure. Graphite is the dominant carbon-bearing phase at the conditions of our experiments with no traces of silicon carbide or carbonates. If the bulk carbon content is higher than needed to saturate the mantle and the core, graphite would be in the form of an additional layer on top of the silicate mantle assuming differentiation. For a thick enough graphite layer, diamonds would form at the bottom of this layer due to high pressures. We model the interior structure of Kepler-37b and show that a mere 10 wt% graphite layer would decrease its derived mass by 7%, suggesting future space missions that determine both radius and mass of rocky exoplanets with insignificant gaseous envelopes could provide quantitative limits on their carbon content. Future observations of rocky exoplanets with graphite-rich surfaces would show low albedos due to the low reflectance of graphite. The absence of life-bearing elements other than carbon on the surface likely makes them uninhabitable.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.02064v2","authors":["Kaustubh Hakim","Rob Spaargaren","Damanveer S.

This adaptive mechanism enables a significant 50-60% reduction in storage for leading multi-vector VDR models with negligible degradation in document retrieval performance.

In this work we investigated the energetics and dynamical aspects of CNBs formed from rolling up CNRs. We have carried out molecular dynamics simulations using reactive empirical bond-order potentials. Our results show that similarly to CNSs, CNBs formation is dominated by two major energy contribution, the increase in the elastic energy due to the bending of the initial planar configuration (decreasing structural stability) and the energetic gain due to van der Waals interactions of the overlapping surface of the rolled layers (increasing structural stability). Beyond a critical diameter value these scrolled structures can be even more stable (in terms of energy) than their equivalent planar configurations. In contrast to CNSs that require energy assisted processes (sonication, chemical reactions, etc.) to be formed, CNBs can be spontaneously formed from low temperature driven processes. Long CNBs (length of $\\sim$ 30.0 nm) tend to exhibit self-folded racket-like conformations with formation dynamics very similar to the one observed for long carbon nanotubes. Shorter CNBs will be more likely to form perfect scrolled structures.

Based on density-functional theory calculations, we first find that the relative orientation of polar PAN nitrile groups with respect to the CNT surface is the key factor that determines the PAN-CNT interface energetics and the lying-down PAN configurations are much more preferable than their standing-up counterparts. The CNT curvature is identified as another important factor, giving the largest binding energy in the zero-curvature graphene limit.

Indeed, hyperscalers develop in-house solutions to improve performance and cost-efficiency of their storage solutions for datacenters. Unfortunately, these storage solutions are based on specialized hardware and software which are not publicly available. The traditional solution is to expose virtual block device to the VM through a paravirtualized driver like virtio [2]. virtio provides significantly better performance than real block device driver emulation because of host OS and guest OS cooperation. The IO requests are then fulfilled by the host OS either with a local block device such as an SSD drive or with some form of disaggregated storage over the network like NVMe-oF or iSCSI. There are three main problems to the traditional solution. 1) Cost. IO operations consume host CPU cycles due to host OS involvement. These CPU cycles are doing useless work from the application point of view. 2) Inflexibility. Any change of the virtualized storage stack requires host OS and/or guest OS cooperation and cannot be done silently in production. 3) Performance.

For the first and second type of data, Android has provided very good storage models: an app's private sensitive data are saved to its private folder that can only be access by the app itself, and the data to be shared are saved to public storage (either the external SD card or the emulated SD card area on internal FLASH memory). But for the last type, i.e., an app's non-sensitive and non-shared data, there is a big problem in Android's current storage model which essentially encourages an app to save its non-sensitive data to shared public storage that can be accessed by other apps. At first glance, it seems no problem to do so, as those data are non-sensitive after all, but it implicitly assumes that app developers could correctly identify all sensitive data and prevent all possible information leakage from private-but-non-sensitive data. In this paper, we will demonstrate that this is an invalid assumption with a thorough survey on information leaks of those apps that had followed Android's recommended storage model for non-sensitive data. Our studies showed that highly sensitive information from billions of users can be easily hacked by exploiting the mentioned problematic storage model.

Existing peer-to-peer (P2P) and microgrid coordination approaches typically rely on certain centralized optimization or restrictive coordination rules which are difficult to be implemented in real-life applications. To address the challenge, we propose an intraday P2P trading framework that allows self-interested microgrids to pursue their economic benefits, while allowing the market operator to maximize the social welfare, namely the low carbon emission objective, of the entire community. Specifically, the decision-making processes of the microgrids are formulated as a Decentralized Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (DEC-POMDP) and solved using a Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) framework. Such an approach grants each microgrid a high degree of decision-making autonomy, while a novel market clearing mechanism is introduced to provide macro-regulation, incentivizing microgrids to prioritize local renewable energy consumption and hence reduce carbon emissions. Simulation results demonstrate that the combination of the self-interested bidding strategy and the P2P market design helps significantly improve renewable energy utilization and reduce reliance on external electricity with high carbon-emissions. The framework achieves a balanced integration of local autonomy, self-interest pursuit, and improved community-level economic and environmental benefits.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.02728v1","authors":["Junhao Ren","Honglin Gao","Sijie Wang","Lan Zhao","Qiyu Kang","Aniq Ashan","Yajuan Sun","Gaoxi Xiao"],"tags":["cs.MA"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-03T04:41:54Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2309.11684v1","name":"The distribution of CO$_2$ on Europa indicates an internal source of carbon","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Jupiter's moon Europa has a subsurface ocean, the chemistry of which is largely unknown.

However, uptake has been hindered by a number of challenges and obstacles, including access to agents and appropriate training. Here we describe how we have attempted to address and mitigate these challenges and obstacles through the deployment of a cloud-based agentic environment, and the development of an interactive training workshop for the Gene Ontology Consortium. Our cloud environment for agentic-assisted curation was based on the JupyterHub platform, and utilized Claude Code as a universal harness. This allows curators to interact with an agent session through a terminal running in the browser, and has additional benefits such as centralization of access through a single API gateway, removing the need for participants to manage subscriptions or install software locally. We created four training modules, walking participants through basic agentic tool use first and then working up to agentic biological pathway curation using the existing GO-CAM (GO Causal Activity Model) curation tool. Thirty-seven participants took part in the four-hour workshop. Our key takeaway from this workshop is that building community capability with agentic AI is primarily a problem of access, workflow design, and training. Removing technical barriers, introducing capabilities gradually, grounding exercises in familiar curation tasks, and giving curators direct experience evaluating agent output can provide a practical route toward building shared agentic AI capability in distributed scientific communities.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.27675v1","authors":["Seth Carbon","Sierra Moxon","Kimberly Van Auken","Pascale Gaudet","Christopher J.

The uncertainty and intermittent nature of RES emphasize the need for flexibility in power systems. Moreover, there are noticeable mismatches between real-time electricity prices and carbon intensity patterns throughout the day. These discrepancies may lead customers to schedule energy-intensive tasks during the early hours of the day, a period characterized by lower electricity prices but higher carbon intensity. This paper introduces a novel and comprehensive framework aimed at encouraging customer participation in electricity markets and aligning their flexibility with carbon intensity trends. The proposed approach integrates an incentive-based tariff with a tri-level optimization model, where customers are motivated to submit flexibility bids and, in return, receive financial rewards based on their contributions. The tri-level model ensures a dynamic interaction between the market operation platform (MOP) and end-users. Simulations are performed on a modified IEEE-33 bus system, supported by two scenarios with different RES generations and customer behaviors. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in guiding the customers' consumption behaviors towards low carbon intensity.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.12877v1","authors":["Shijie Pan","Gerrit Rolofs","Luca Pontecorvi","Charalambos Konstantinou"],"tags":["eess.SY"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-17T12:04:49Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:39.014Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2410.18187v1","name":"JWST/MIRI detection of a carbon-rich chemistry in a solar nebula analog","source":"arxiv","abstract":"It has been proposed, and confirmed by multiple observations, that disks around low mass stars display a molecule-rich emission and carbon-rich disk chemistry as compared to their hotter, more massive solar counterparts.

We find a best match to the observed column densities with models that have carbon enrichment, and the retrieved emitting temperature and area of C$_2$H$_2$ with models that have C/O $=$ 2$-$4 inside the 500 K carbon-rich dust sublimation line. This suggests that the origin of the carbon-rich chemistry is likely due to the sublimation of carbon rich grains near the soot line. This would be consistent with the presence of dust processing as indicated by the detection of crystalline silicates. We propose that this long-lived hydrocarbon rich chemistry observed around a solar-mass star is a consequence of the unusually low M-star-like accretion rate of the central star, which lengthens the radial mixing timescale of the inner disk allowing the chemistry powered by carbon grain destruction to linger.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.18187v1","authors":["Maria Jose Colmenares","Edwin Bergin","Colette Salyk","Klaus M.

They imply a strong reduction in carbon footprint inequality by 2030 that effectively halves the Gini coefficient to about 0.25. This paper examines feasibility of these scenarios by analyzing the historical evolution of both weighted international inequality in CO2 emissions attributed territorially and global inequality in carbon footprints attributed to end consumers. For the latter, a new dataset is constructed that is more comprehensive than existing ones. In both cases, we find a decreasing trend in global inequality, partially attributed to the move of China from the lower to the middle part of the distribution, with footprints more unequal than territorial emissions. These results show that realization of the redistributive scenarios would require an unprecedented reduction in global inequality far below historical levels. Moreover, the territorial emissions data, available for more recent years up to 2017, show a saturation of the decreasing Gini coefficient at a level of 0.5. This observation confirms an earlier prediction based on maximal entropy reasoning that the Lorenz curve converges to the exponential distribution. This saturation further undermines feasibility of the redistributive scenarios, which are also hindered by structural tendencies that reinforce carbon footprint inequality under global capitalism. One way out of this conundrum is a fast decarbonization of the global energy supply in order to decrease global carbon emissions without relying crucially on carbon inequality reduction.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.00111v1","authors":["Gregor Semieniuk","Victor M.

However, the [CII] luminosity does not climb as steeply as that of the far-infrared, giving the decline in the L_[CII]/L_FIR ratio with L_FIR. Investigating this further, we find that the [CII] luminosity exhibits similar drops as measured against the carbon monoxide and radio continuum luminosities. The former may indicate that at higher luminosities a larger fraction of the carbon is locked up in the form of molecules and/or that the CO line radiation also contributes to the cooling, done mainly by the [CII] line at low luminosities. The latter hints at increased activity in these galaxies at greater distances, so we suggest that, in addition to an underlying heating of the dust by a stellar population, there is also heating of the embedded dusty torus by the ultra-violet emission from the active nucleus, resulting in an excess in the far-infrared emission from the more luminous objects.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/0807.4365v4","authors":["S.

There is no evidence for active accretion disks in PNe making it difficult to decide which of several proposed jet formation scenarios may be correct. A handful of wide binary central stars of PNe are known to have accreted carbon and slow neutron capture (s-process) enhanced material, the immediate progenitors of barium stars, however no close binary analogues are known to have passed through a common-envelope (CE) phase. Here we present spectroscopy of The Necklace taken near lightcurve minimum that for the first time reveals a carbon-rich (C/O &gt; 1) companion, a carbon dwarf, in a post-CE central star. As unevolved stars do not produce carbon, the chemical enhancement of the secondary can only be explained by accretion from the primary. Accretion most likely happened prior to the CE phase via wind accretion as not enough material can be accreted during the short CE phase. The pair of jets in The Necklace, which are observed to be older than the PN, are therefore likely to have been launched from an accretion disk around the companion during this early accretion phase. This discovery adds significant weight to the emerging scenario that jets in post-CE PNe are primarily launched by an accretion disk around a main-sequence companion before the CE phase.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1210.1458v1","authors":["Brent Miszalski","Henri M.

We report on work performed as part of GridPP\\cite{GridPP}, extending the Dirac File Catalogue and file management interface to allow the placement of erasure-coded files: each file distributed as N identically-sized chunks of data striped across a vector of storage endpoints, encoded such that any M chunks can be lost and the original file can be reconstructed.

The SW defect is intrinsic to the polymer-I structure of the nanothreads and is a building block for the general hybrid structures. We find that the bandgap of the nanothreads can be tuned by the concentration of SW defects in a wide range of $3.92 \\sim 4.82$ eV, interpolating between the bandgaps of $sp^{3}$-(3,0) structure and the polymer-I structure. Under strain, the bandgaps of all the structures, including the hybrid ones, show a nonmonotonic variation: the bandgap first increases with strain, then drops at large strain above 10%. The gap size can be effectively tuned by strain in a wide range ($&gt;0.5$ eV). Interestingly, for $sp^{3}$-(3,0) structure, a switch of band ordering occurs under strain at the valence band maximum, and for the polymer-I structure, an indirect-to-direct-bandgap transition occurs at about 8% strain. The result also indicates that the presence of SW defects tends to stabilize the bandgap size against strain.

Our sample includes measurements of carbon abundances for 154 giants in the clusters NGC 2419, M68, and M15 and 398 giants in the dSphs Sculptor, Fornax, Ursa Minor, and Draco. This sample doubles the number of dSph stars with measurements of [C/Fe]. The [C/Fe] ratio in the clusters decreases with increasing luminosity above log(L/L_sun) ~= 1.6, which can be explained by deep mixing in evolved giants. The same decrease is observed in dSphs, but the initial [C/Fe] of the dSph giants is not uniform. Stars in dSphs at lower metallicities have larger [C/Fe] ratios. We hypothesize that [C/Fe] (corrected to the initial carbon abundance) declines with increasing [Fe/H] due to the metallicity dependence of the carbon yield of asymptotic giant branch stars and due to the increasing importance of Type Ia supernovae at higher metallicities.

Herein, a distinctive lithium growth mechanism, namely, the restricted multilayered growth for lithium, and a strategy for lithium storage are proposed to achieve the balance between the ultra-high specific capacity and the need to avert uncontrolled dendritic growth of lithium. In particular, based on first-principles computation, we show that the Al2C monolayer with planar tetracoordinate carbon structure can be an ideal platform for realizing the restricted multilayered growth mechanism as a 2D anode material. Furthermore, the Al2C monolayer exhibits ultra-high specific capacity of lithium of 4059 mAh/g, yet with a low dif-fusion barrier of 0.039-0.17 eV as well as low open circuit voltage in the range of 0.002-0.34 V. These novel properties endow the Al2C monolayer a promising anode material for future lithium ion batteries.

This paper introduces FaceSnap, an end-to-end framework that streamlines capture via a two-stage approach. First, a one-time multi-view optimization from a range-of-motion sequence builds a personalized model encoding both geometry and expression-dependent appearance. This model then enables high-fidelity real-time facial performance capture from a single monocular lightstage camera, with no further multi-view capture required. FaceSnap jointly estimates geometry and dynamic 4K texture at 83 fps. The 4K texture is produced by a novel personalized residual upscaler that recovers subject-specific high-frequency detail, which generic upscalers fail to capture. FaceSnap achieves geometric accuracy competitive with full per-frame multi-view optimization while outperforming feed-forward methods trained on production-quality 3D data, all from a single camera view. Finally, we introduce Multi4D, a public benchmark for evaluating 4D facial reconstruction methods in lightstage environments, enabling topology-invariant geometric comparison across methods.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.31033v1","authors":["Rukhshanda Hussain","Noé Artru","Emeline Got","Luiz Gustavo Hafemann","Alexandre Messier","Brandon Dearlove","Rafael M.

For instance, we identify and validate three new attacks, including (1) garbage-collection (GC) attack that exploits storage capacity and keeps writing data to trigger GC and force SSDs to release the retained data; (2) timing attack that intentionally slows down the pace of encrypting data and hides its I/O patterns to escape existing defense; (3) trimming attack that utilizes the trim command available in SSDs to physically erase data. To enhance the robustness of SSDs against these attacks, we propose RSSD, a ransomware-aware SSD. It redesigns the flash management of SSDs for enabling the hardware-assisted logging, which can conservatively retain older versions of user data and received storage operations in time order with low overhead. It also employs hardware-isolated NVMe over Ethernet to expand local storage capacity by transparently offloading the logs to remote cloud/servers in a secure manner.

Furthermore, the infrequently accessed data can be safely stored for no longer than 10-20 years due to the short life-span of conventional storage devices. To this end, recent studies have proven DNA to be a very promising candidate for the long-term storage of digital data. Several pioneering works have proposed different encoding methods for the specific encoding of images into a quaternary DNA representation while first compressing the image using the classical JPEG standard to reduce the high cost of DNA synthesis. However this type of compression is not optimized with respect to the quaternary DNA code and results in an open-loop workflow. In our previous works we have introduced the first closed-loop solution for generating a constrained fixed-length quaternary code which allows controlling the synthesis cost thanks to a source allocation algorithm. In this paper, we extend our studies to proposing a variable-length encoding solution which is based on the JPEG standard.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.09616v1","authors":["Melpomeni Dimopoulou","Eva Gil San Antonio","Marc Antonini"],"tags":["cs.ET"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-03-17T13:03:31Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.752Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.752Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1705.05801v1","name":"Efficient and Reversible CO2 Capture by Lithium-functionalized Germanene Monolayer","source":"arxiv","abstract":"First-principles density functional theory (DFT) is employed to investigate the interactions of CO2 gas molecules with pristine and lithium-functionalized germanene.

Concurrently, privacy concerns have arisen, leading to the development of techniques like Private Information Retrieval (PIR) to enable data access while preserving privacy. A PIR protocol allows users to retrieve information from a database without revealing the specifics of their query or the data they are accessing. With the advent of quantum computing, researchers have explored the potential of using quantum systems to enhance privacy in information retrieval. In a Quantum Private Information Retrieval (QPIR) protocol, a user can retrieve information from a database by downloading quantum systems from multiple servers, while ensuring that the servers remain oblivious to the specific information being accessed. This scenario offers a unique advantage by leveraging the inherent properties of quantum systems to provide enhanced privacy guarantees and improved communication rates compared to classical PIR protocols. In this thesis we consider the QPIR setting where the queries and the coded storage systems are classical, while the responses from the servers are quantum. This problem was treated by Song et al. for replicated storage and different collusion patterns. This thesis aims to develop QPIR protocols for coded storage by combining known classical PIR protocols with quantum communication algorithms, achieving enhanced privacy and communication costs. We consider different storage codes and robustness assumptions, and we prove that the achieved communication cost is always lower than the classical counterparts.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.07570v1","authors":["Matteo Allaix"],"tags":["quant-ph","cs.IR"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-10T12:36:10Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.752Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.752Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2404.04729v1","name":"Towards a low carbon proof-of-work blockchain","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Proof of Work (PoW) blockchains burn a lot of energy.

It is studied by the principle of DFT and solving the numerical 1D time-independent Schrödinger equation of electron and phonon simultaneously. Two different lengths of branches A and B, are occupied alternatively to generate the asymmetric carbon chain. The ratio of the asymmetric branch length,RAB=A/B, plays an important role in the electronic density of states DOS around Fermi level Ef . The highest DOS(Ef) occurs if the RAB equals to 2 and while the Fermi level coincides with the Von-Hove singularity at RAB=3. The location of the singularity point relative to the Ef is controllable via branch length interestingly. By comparison with the symmetric case, tuning the branch length asymmetrically shows a stronger impact to shift the Ef to the singularity point. The numerical solution of the 1D time independent Schrodinger equation of phonon indicates that the kink reinforces the charge fluctuations but the fluctuations are minimized when the RAB goes up. Based on the simulation results, the electron phonon coupling of the carbon nanowire decreases with chain length. In comparison to the symmetric structure, the electron phonon coupling of the asymmetric carbon chain is higher. The maximum electron phonon coupling of the asymmetric carbon chain takes place at RAB=2 . However, the weakening of the electron phonon coupling is observed owing to ultrahigh concentration of kinks.

All models fit the observed O/H and Fe/H gradients well and reproduce the main characteristics of the gas distribution, but they are also designed to do so. For the C/H gradient the results are inconclusive with regards to yields and star formation. The C/Fe and O/Fe vs. Fe/H, as well as C/O vs. O/H trends predicted by the models for the solar neighbourhood zone were compared with stellar abundances from the literature. For O/Fe vs. Fe/H all models fit the data, but for C/O vs. O/H, only models with increased carbon yields for zero-metallicity stars or an evolving initial mass function provide good fits. Furthermore, a steep star formation threshold in the disc can be ruled out since it predicts a steep fall-off in all abundance gradients beyond a certain galactocentric distance (~ 13 kpc) and cannot explain the possible flattening of the C/H and Fe/H gradients in the outer disc seen in observations. Since in the best-fit models the enrichment scenario is such that carbon is primarily produced in low-mass stars, it is suggested that in every environment where the peak of star formation happened a few Gyr back in time, winds of carbon-stars are responsible for most of the carbon enrichment. However, a significant contribution by zero-metallicity stars, especially at very early stages, and by winds of high-mass stars, which are increasing in strength with metallicity, cannot be ruled out by the CEMs presented here. In the solar neighbourhood, as much as 80%, or as little as 40% of the carbon may have been injected to the interstellar medium by low- and intermediate-mass stars. The stellar origin of carbon remains an open question, although production in low- and intermediate-mass stars appears to be the simplest explanation of observed carbon abundance trends.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1003.3474v1","authors":["Lars Mattsson"],"tags":["astro-ph.GA"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2010-03-17T20:59:08Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1302.3358v1","name":"Faithful Solid State Optical Memory with Dynamically Decoupled Spin Wave Storage","source":"arxiv","abstract":"We report an optical memory in a rare earth doped crystal with long storage times, up to 20 ms, together with an optical bandwidth of 1.5 MHz.

In CEC, data is distributed among machines using a Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) code such that subsets of machines can perform the desired computations. However, state-of-the-art CEC designs only operate on homogeneous networks where machines have the same speeds and storage. This may not be practical. In this work, based on an MDS storage assignment, we develop a novel computation assignment approach for heterogeneous CEC networks to minimize the overall computation time.

One possible explanation for the privacy community's focus on fingerprinting is that to date browsers have faced a lose-lose dilemma when dealing with third-party stateful identifiers: block state in third-party frames and break a significant number of webpages, or allow state in third-party frames and enable pervasive tracking. The alternative, middle-ground solutions that have been deployed all trade privacy for compatibility, rely on manually curated lists, or depend on the user to manage state and state-access themselves. This work furthers privacy on the web by presenting a novel system for managing the lifetime of third-party storage, \"page-length storage\". We compare page-length storage to existing approaches for managing third-party state and find that page-length storage has the privacy protections of the most restrictive current option (i.e., blocking third-party storage) but web-compatibility properties mostly similar to the least restrictive option (i.e., allowing all third-party storage). This work further compares page-length storage to an alternative third-party storage partitioning scheme and finds that page-length storage provides superior privacy protections with comparable web-compatibility. We provide a dataset of the privacy and compatibility behaviors observed when applying the compared third-party storage strategies on a crawl of the Tranco 1k and the quantitative metrics used to demonstrate that page-length storage matches or surpasses existing approaches. Finally, we provide an open-source implementation of our page-length storage approach, implemented as patches against Chromium.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.01267v1","authors":["Jordan Jueckstock","Peter Snyder","Shaown Sarker","Alexandros Kapravelos","Benjamin Livshits"],"tags":["cs.CR"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-11-02T19:19:08Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2510.27384v1","name":"On effects of present-bias on carbon emission patterns towards a net zero target","source":"arxiv","abstract":"This paper explores the optimal policy for using an allocated carbon emission budget over time with the objective to maximize profit, by explicitly taking into account present-biased preferences of decision-makers, accounting for time-inconsistent preferences.

However, the accumulated KV cache is often larger than what GPU memory and local DRAM can hold. To preserve latency, current systems keep the KV cache in remote DRAM pools, increasing serving-cluster size and cost. In this paper, we explore a different approach: storing the KV cache in S3-compatible object storage so that capacity is no longer the constraint, while minimizing the impact on TTFT. We propose ObjectCache, which co-designs the storage protocol and transfer schedule so that the storage server delivers KV cache data in the order the GPU consumes it, overlapping data transfer with compute across concurrent requests. We prototype ObjectCache on a 100 Gbps RoCE cluster with NIXL (an inference library that abstracts storage and memory), Ceph RGW (an Object Gateway for clusters), and DAOS (an open source storage system).

Therefore, digital evidence on smartphones plays an increasingly important role in crime investigations. Digital evidence could reside in the memory and permanent storage of a smartphone. While we have witnessed significant progresses on memory forensics recently, identifying evidence in the permanent storage is still an underdeveloped research area. Most existing studies on permanent-storage forensics rely on manual analysis or keyword-based scanning of the permanent storage. Manual analysis is costly, while keyword matching often misses the evidentiary data that do not have interesting keywords. In this work, we develop a tool called EviHunter to automatically identify evidentiary data in the permanent storage of an Android device. There could be thousands of files on the permanent storage of a smartphone. A basic question a forensic investigator often faces is which files could store evidentiary data. EviHunter aims to answer this question. Our intuition is that the evidentiary data were produced by apps; and an app's code has rich information about the types of data the app may write to a permanent storage and the files the data are written to. Therefore, EviHunter first pre-computes an App Evidence Database (AED) via static analysis of a large number of apps. The AED includes the types of evidentiary data and files that store them for each app. Then, EviHunter matches the files on a smartphone's permanent storage against the AED to identify the files that could store evidentiary data. We evaluate EviHunter on benchmark apps and 8,690 real-world apps. Our results show that EviHunter can precisely identify both the types of evidentiary data and the files that store them.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.06137v1","authors":["Chris Chao-Chun Cheng","Chen Shi","Neil Zhenqiang Gong","Yong Guan"],"tags":["cs.CR"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2018-08-18T22:03:32Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1104.0871v2","name":"Information Storage and Retrieval for Probe Storage using Optical Diffraction Patterns","source":"arxiv","abstract":"A novel method for fast information retrieval from a probe storage device is considered. It is shown that information can be stored and retrieved using the optical diffraction patterns obtained by the illumination of a large array of cantilevers by a monochromatic light source. In thermo-mechanical probe storage, the information is stored as a sequence of indentations on the polymer medium. To retrieve the information, the array of probes is actuated by applying a bending force to the cantilevers. Probes positioned over indentations experience deflection by the depth of the indentation, probes over the flat media remain un-deflected. Thus the array of actuated probes can be viewed as an irregular optical grating, which creates a data-dependent diffraction pattern when illuminated by laser light. We develop a low complexity modulation scheme, which allows the extraction of information stored in the pattern of indentations on the media from Fourier coefficients of the intensity of the diffraction pattern. We then derive a low-complexity maximum likelihood sequence detection algorithm for retrieving the user information from the Fourier coefficients. The derivation of both the modulation and the detection schemes is based on the Fraunhofer formula for data-dependent diffraction patterns. We show that for as long as the Fresnel number F&lt;0.1, the optimal channel detector derived from Fraunhofer diffraction theory does not suffer any significant performance degradation.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1104.0871v2","authors":["Joost van Honschoten","Henri de Jong","Wabe W.

Then, using these criteria, the paper explains the relevant characteristics of select storage systems and provides a comparison of the major differences.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0409034v1","authors":["Paul Stanton"],"tags":["cs.OS","cs.CR"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2004-09-17T21:51:24Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:0312348v1","name":"Enhancement of the irreversibility field by carbon substitution in single crystal MgB$_2$","source":"arxiv","abstract":"We report the detailed study of the irreversibility field {\\hirr} of single crystals of Mg(B$_{1-x}$C$_{x}$)$_2$ ($x$=0, 2, 3.5, 5 and 7%) in strong magnetic fields of up to 40 T.

Most existing IIoT infrastructures are based on a centralized architecture, which is easier for management but cannot effectively support immutable and verifiable services among multiple parties. Blockchain technology provides many desired features for large-scale IIoT infrastructures, such as decentralization, trustworthiness, trackability, and immutability. This paper presents a blockchain-based IIoT architecture to support immutable and verifiable services. However, when applying blockchain technology to the IIoT infrastructure, the required storage space posts a grant challenge to resource-constrained IIoT infrastructures. To address the storage issue, this paper proposes a hierarchical blockchain storage structure, \\textit{ChainSplitter}. Specially, the proposed architecture features a hierarchical storage structure where the majority of the blockchain is stored in the clouds, while the most recent blocks are stored in the overlay network of the individual IIoT networks. The proposed architecture seamlessly binds local IIoT networks, the blockchain overlay network, and the cloud infrastructure together through two connectors, the \\textit{blockchain connector} and the \\textit{cloud connector}, to construct the hierarchical blockchain storage. The blockchain connector in the overlay network builds blocks in blockchain from data generated in IIoT networks, and the cloud connector resolves the blockchain synchronization issues between the overlay network and the clouds. We also provide a case study to show the efficiency of the proposed hierarchical blockchain storage in a practical Industrial IoT case.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.00742v1","authors":["Gang Wang","Zhijie Jerry Shi","Mark Nixon","Song Han"],"tags":["cs.CR","cs.DC"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2019-10-02T01:37:20Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2607.04545v1","name":"Storage as a Transmission Asset (SATA) for Large-Load Congestion Relief","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Hyperscale data centers and other large concentrated loads can impose substantial new demand on existing transmission networks. If import corridors lack sufficient transfer capability, operators may need to curtail load, delay interconnection, or reinforce the network to maintain reliable service. An energy storage system (ESS) deployed as a storage-as-transmission asset (SATA) offers a non-wires alternative by providing operator-directed support to constrained import corridors. However, the operating-level reliability value of SATA dispatch remains insufficiently quantified. This paper evaluates operator-directed SATA using a day-ahead DC optimal power flow that co-optimizes generation, ESS dispatch, and load curtailment across Monte Carlo scenarios of demand and generator availability. Operating reliability is assessed using expected energy not served (EENS), loss-of-load hours (LOLH), and the conditional value at risk (CVaR) of daily unserved energy. Congestion-price and flow-sensitivity metrics are used to identify the limiting corridor and storage location. The interconnection is then screened to determine whether SATA is suitable, reinforcement is required, or storage would provide little transmission value. Results show that operator-directed SATA reduces average unserved energy, loss-of-load exposure, and tail risk compared with deploying the same ESS for pure arbitrage. These results demonstrate that the operating designation of storage is a primary driver of its transmission value.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.04545v1","authors":["Abanish Tiwari","Chandan Chaudhary","Yansong Pei","Mohammed Ben-Idris","Joydeep Mitra"],"tags":["eess.SY"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-05T23:26:11Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1812.07527v3","name":"LSM-based Storage Techniques: A Survey","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Recently, the Log-Structured Merge-tree (LSM-tree) has been widely adopted for use in the storage layer of modern NoSQL systems.

However, overheads incurred by a heavy software-stack intervention seriously negate the benefits of such memories. First, to significantly reduce the software stack overheads, we propose HAMS, a hardware automated Memory-over-Storage (MoS) solution. Specifically, HAMS aggregates the capacity of NVDIMM and ultra-low latency flash archives (ULL-Flash) into a single large memory space, which can be used as a working or persistent memory expansion, in an OS-transparent manner. HAMS resides in the memory controller hub and manages its MoS address pool over conventional DDR and NVMe interfaces; it employs a simple hardware cache to serve all the memory requests from the host MMU after mapping the storage space of ULL-Flash to the memory space of NVDIMM. Second, to make HAMS more energy-efficient and reliable, we propose an \"advanced HAMS\" which removes unnecessary data transfers between NVDIMM and ULL-Flash after optimizing the datapath and hardware modules of HAMS. This approach unleashes the ULL-Flash and its NVMe controller from the storage box and directly connects the HAMS datapath to NVDIMM over the conventional DDR4 interface. Our evaluations show that HAMS and advanced HAMS can offer 97% and 119% higher system performance than a software-based hybrid NVDIMM design, while consuming 41% and 45% lower system energy, respectively.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.14241v1","authors":["Jie Zhang","Miryeong Kwon","Donghyun Gouk","Sungjoon Koh","Nam Sung Kim","Mahmut Taylan Kandemir","Myoungsoo Jung"],"tags":["cs.AR"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-06-27T14:17:51Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1101.4799v1","name":"Few Graphene layer/Carbon-Nanotube composite Grown at CMOS-compatible Temperature","source":"arxiv","abstract":"We investigate the growth of the recently demonstrated composite material composed of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes capped by few graphene layers.

This renders microgrids an auspicious solution for rural areas and critical infrastructure. In standalone or islanded mode, the main objective is cost minimization while ensuring a safe and reliable operation. Optimal operation schemes for microgrids usually assume fixed power limits for energy storage units. This, however, is not sufficient for lithiumion energy storage systems, which often come with dynamic power limits that depend on the state of charge. These limits are especially prominent when the state of charge is close to its boundaries. In this paper, dynamic constraints for energy storages are modelled using convex polytopes and fitted to experimental data acquired from an 11.6 kWh lithium-ion energy storage system. The polytopic constraints are integrated in a model predictive control scheme that was designed for a standalone microgrid composed of a fuel cell, a photovoltaic generator and a lithium-ion energy storage system. To evaluate the advantages, a case study with two configurations is performed. The model predictive controller without polytopic constraints led to constraint violations in 11.77 % of the simulation time steps with a maximum deviation of 118 % above the power limits. The configuration with polytopic constraints in contrary led to no violations over the entire simulation horizon.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.12288v1","authors":["E. D. Gomez Anccas","C. A.

Such improvements can be ascribed to the characteristic homogeneous hierarchical structure which not only effectively increases the active surface areas for fast charge transfer, but also reduces the electrode resistance significantly by eliminating the potential barrier at the nanowire/nanosheet junction, which is usually an issue in other reported heterogeneous architectures. We further evaluate the performances of the SOWAs by constructing an asymmetric hybrid supercapacitor (ASC) with the SOWAs and activated carbon (AC). The optimized ASC shows excellent electrochemical performances with 47.2 Wh/kg in energy density at 1.38 kW/kg at 0-1.2 V.

This asymmetry severely constrains overall system throughput. We present DualPath, an inference system that breaks this bottleneck by introducing dual-path KV-Cache loading. Beyond the traditional storage-to-prefill path, DualPath enables a novel storage-to-decode path, in which the KV-Cache is loaded into decoding engines and then efficiently transferred to prefill engines via RDMA over the compute network. DualPath combines this optimized data path -- which inherently avoids network congestion and avoids interference with latency-critical model execution communications -- with a global scheduler that dynamically balances load across prefill and decode engines. Our evaluation on three models with production agentic workloads demonstrates that DualPath improves offline inference throughput by up to 1.87$\\times$ on our in-house inference system.

Quantifying and managing the EV flexibility while controlling carbon emissions is crucial. This paper introduces a methodology for carbon-aware quantification of real-time aggregate EV power flexibility based on the Lyapunov optimization technique. We construct a novel queue system including EV charging queues, delay-aware virtual queues, and carbon-aware virtual queues. Based on the evolution of these queues, we define the Lyapunov drift and minimize the drift-plus-penalty term to get the real-time EV flexibility interval, which is reported to the system operator for flexibility provision. To enhance EV flexibility, we integrate dispatch signals from the system operator into the queue updates through a two-stage disaggregation process. The proposed approach is prediction-free and adaptable to various uncertainties, including EV arrivals and grid carbon intensity. Additionally, the maximum charging delay of EV charging tasks is theoretically bounded by a constant, and carbon emissions are effectively controlled. The numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed online method and highlight its advantages over several benchmarks through comparisons.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.05597v2","authors":["Xiaowei Wang","Yue Chen"],"tags":["math.OC"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-09T13:30:45Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1905.00418v3","name":"Optimal Storage Arbitrage under Net Metering using Linear Programming","source":"arxiv","abstract":"We formulate the optimal energy arbitrage problem for a piecewise linear cost function for energy storage devices using linear programming (LP).

Calculations were performed for a characteristic carbon star ratio of C/O = 1.2 from 1E-10 to 1E-4 bars total pressure and for uniform metallicity variations ranging from 0.01 to 100 times solar elemental abundances.

Analytical expressions for the graphite, TiC, and SiC condensation temperatures as functions of metallicity and total pressure are presented.

The aforementioned restructuring gives rise to a softening of π-mode whose frequency tends to zero in a certain region of amplitudes when carbon atoms begin to vibrate near new equilibrium positions.

In particular, the amount of carbon relative to oxygen is known to have a strong effect on modeled abundances of many species. While previous studies have focused on comparison of modeled and observed abundances to constrain the C/O ratio, the effects of this parameter on the underlying chemistry have not been well-studied. We investigated the role of the C/O ratio on dark cloud chemistry using the NAUTILUS code and machine learning techniques for molecular representation. We find that modeled abundances are quite sensitive to the C/O ratio, especially for carbon-rich species such as carbon chains and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). CO and simple ice-phase species are found to be major carbon reservoirs under both oxygen-poor and oxygen-rich conditions. The appearance of C3H4 isomers as significant carbon reservoirs, even under oxygen-rich conditions, indicates the efficiency of gas-phase C3 formation followed by adsorption and grain-surface hydrogenation. Our model is not able to reproduce the observed, gas-phase C/H ratio of TMC-1 CP at the time of best fit with any C/O ratio between 0.1 and 3, suggesting that the modeled freeze-out of carbon-bearing molecules may be too rapid. Future investigations are needed to understand the reactivity of major carbon reservoirs and their conversion to complex organic molecules.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.04103v1","authors":["Alex N.

The methodology of molecular dynamics and its implementation as a tool to effectively model fluid flows inside nanocomponents is established, followed by an understanding of the intermolecular potentials which effectively model the interactions between the argon and carbon atoms. Argon is one of the most non-reactive elements in the periodic table. Being a noble gas the intermolecular interactions can be easily modeled using simple potential energy functions. The reason for using Argon lies in the simplicity in modeling its behavior and benchmarking the results with existing studies in literature. The first two cases serve to benchmark the numerical scheme by plotting the flow velocity and the structures of argon atoms while flowing inside and outside the tube. The third case simulates argon flowing from a reservoir which is twice as big as the largest dimension of the argon crystal. The simulation is carried out on short tubes with low densities of atoms. Two stages of transport are observed during the simulations. The first stage is characterized by the entry of the argon atoms into the tube which depends strongly on the repulsive forces between the argon atoms and the attractive forces between the argon and carbon tip atoms. The second stage is more chaotic as the molecules travel back and forth in the tube due to competition between the kinetic energy and the attractive potential energy of the carbon atoms on the argon. It is also observed that the argon atoms move closer to the walls of the tube. In case of higher densities they move in a coordinated fashion forming spiral-like structures. The transport is erratic and is observed in all the cases, indicating that the motion of atoms inside nanocomponents is highly randomized, yet governed solely by the intermolecular forces.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.15765v1","authors":["Anuj Chaudhri"],"tags":["physics.flu-dyn","cond-mat.mtrl-sci"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-28T18:49:11Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1803.11309v1","name":"Simulation Methods for Stochastic Storage Problems: A Statistical Learning Perspective","source":"arxiv","abstract":"We consider solution of stochastic storage problems through regression Monte Carlo (RMC) methods.

However, H$_2$ storage at mild condition remains one of the bottlenecks for its widespread usage. In order to devise successful H$_2$ storage strategies, there is a need for a fundamental understanding of the weak and elusive hydrogen interactions at the quantum mechanical level. One of the most promising strategies for storage at mild pressure and temperature is physisorption. Porous materials are specially effective at physisorption, however the process at the quantum level has been under-studied. Here, we present quantum calculations to study the interaction of H$_2$ with building units of porous materials. We report 240 H$_2$ complexes made of different transition metal (Tm) atoms, chelating ligands, spins, oxidation states, and geometrical configurations. We found that both the dispersion and electrostatics interactions are the major contributors to the interaction energy between H$_2$ and the transition metal complexes. The binding energy for some of these complexes is in the range of at least 10 kJ/mol for many interactions sites, which is one of these main requirements for practical H$_2$ storage. Thus, these results are of fundamental nature for practical H$_2$ storage in porous materials.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.10310v1","authors":["Srimanta Pakhira","Jose L.

Observations indicate that over half of carbon in the ISM and comets is in refractory forms, like amorphous hydrocarbons and complex organics, which can be building blocks of rocky bodies. While amorphous hydrocarbons are destroyed by photolysis and oxidation, radial transport of solid particles can limit carbon depletion, except when complex organics, which are less refractory, are the main carbon source. We aim to identify conditions for severe carbon depletion in the inner Solar System by introducing more realistic factors: differences in stickiness between icy and silicate particles, and high-temperature regions in the disk's upper optically-thin layer, which were not considered in previous studies. We perform a 3D Monte Carlo simulation of radial drift and turbulent diffusion in a steady accretion disk, incorporating ice evaporation/re-condensation, photolysis/oxidation of hydrocarbons in the upper layer, and pyrolysis of complex organics. Our results show that the carbon fraction drops by two orders of magnitude inside the snow line under two conditions: i) silicate particles are much less sticky than icy particles, leading to a rapid decline in icy pebble flux while silicates accumulate inside the snow line, and ii) high-temperature regions in the disk's upper layer stir silicate particles into UV-exposed areas. These conditions reproduce carbon depletion patterns consistent with observations and allow for diverse carbon fractions in rocky bodies. This diversity may explain the wide variation of metals in white dwarf photospheres and suggest different surface environments for rocky planets in habitable zones.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.07047v3","authors":["Tamami Okamoto","Shigeru Ida"],"tags":["astro-ph.EP"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-09T16:38:20Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1905.01249v2","name":"An optimal transport problem with storage fees","source":"arxiv","abstract":"We introduce and investigate properties of a variant of the semi-discrete optimal transport problem.

These desirable effects are attributed to the presence of oxygen during the CNT plasma treatment since oxygenated vacancies act both as active adsorption sites for gases and as anchoring sites for Rh nanoparticles (the presence of Rh nanoclusters is nearly doubled in Ar-O$_2$ treated samples as compared to Ar treated samples). The oxygen treatment also makes easier the charge transfer between Rh nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes upon gas adsorption. The method for treating and decorating multiwalled carbon nanotubes used here is simple, fast and scalable for producing gas sensitive nanohybrid materials with uniform and well-controlled properties.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.08079v1","authors":["Radouane Leghrib","Thierry Dufour","Frédéric Demoisson","Nicolas Claessens","François Reniers","Eduard Llobet"],"tags":["cond-mat.mtrl-sci","physics.plasm-ph"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2016-05-02T23:08:09Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1511.01814v1","name":"Design and properties of low energy x-ray transmission windows based on graphenic carbon","source":"arxiv","abstract":"X-ray transmission windows for the low energy range, especially between 0.1 keV and 1 keV have been designed and fabricated based on graphenic carbon (GC) with an integrated silicon frame.

Various human activities are responsible for significant greenhouse gas emissions, including data centres and other sources of large-scale computation. Although many important scientific milestones have been achieved thanks to the development of high-performance computing, the resultant environmental impact has been underappreciated. In this paper, we present a methodological framework to estimate the carbon footprint of any computational task in a standardised and reliable way, based on the processing time, type of computing cores, memory available and the efficiency and location of the computing facility. Metrics to interpret and contextualise greenhouse gas emissions are defined, including the equivalent distance travelled by car or plane as well as the number of tree-months necessary for carbon sequestration. We develop a freely available online tool, Green Algorithms (www.green-algorithms.org), which enables a user to estimate and report the carbon footprint of their computation. The Green Algorithms tool easily integrates with computational processes as it requires minimal information and does not interfere with existing code, while also accounting for a broad range of CPUs, GPUs, cloud computing, local servers and desktop computers. Finally, by applying Green Algorithms, we quantify the greenhouse gas emissions of algorithms used for particle physics simulations, weather forecasts and natural language processing. Taken together, this study develops a simple generalisable framework and freely available tool to quantify the carbon footprint of nearly any computation. Combined with a series of recommendations to minimise unnecessary CO2 emissions, we hope to raise awareness and facilitate greener computation.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.07610v5","authors":["Loïc Lannelongue","Jason Grealey","Michael Inouye"],"tags":["cs.CY","cs.DC"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-07-15T11:05:33Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2003.09932v2","name":"Constitutive relations for plasticity of amorphous carbon","source":"arxiv","abstract":"We deform representative volume elements of amorphous carbon obtained from melt-quenches in molecular dynamics calculations using bond-order and machine learning interatomic potentials.

A distributed storage system consists of a data owner machine, multiple storage servers and channels to link them. In such a system, secret sharing scheme is widely adopted, in which secret data are split into multiple pieces and stored in each server. To reconstruct them, the data owner should gather plural pieces. Shamir's (k, n)-threshold scheme, in which the data are split into n pieces (shares) for storage and at least k pieces of them must be gathered for reconstruction, furnishes information theoretic security, that is, even if attackers could collect shares of less than the threshold k, they cannot get any information about the data, even with unlimited computing power. Behind this scenario, however, assumed is that data transmission and authentication must be perfectly secure, which is not trivial in practice.

We consider the problem of constructing explicit erasure codes for distributed storage with the following desirable properties motivated by practice: (i) Maximum-Distance-Separable (MDS): to provide maximal reliability at minimum storage overhead, (ii) Optimal repair-bandwidth: to minimize the amount of data needed to be transferred to repair a failed node from remaining ones, (iii) Flexibility in repair: to allow maximal flexibility in selecting subset of nodes to use for repair, which includes not requiring that all surviving nodes be used for repair, (iv) Systematic Form: to ensure that the original data exists in uncoded form, and (v) Fast encoding: to minimize the cost of generating encoded data (enabled by a sparse generator matrix). This paper presents the first explicit code construction which theoretically guarantees all the five desired properties simultaneously. Our construction builds on a powerful class of codes called Product-Matrix (PM) codes. PM codes satisfy properties (i)-(iii), and either (iv) or (v), but not both simultaneously. Indeed, native PM codes have inherent structure that leads to sparsity, but this structure is destroyed when the codes are made systematic. We first present an analytical framework for understanding the interaction between the design of PM codes and the systematic property. Using this framework, we provide an explicit code construction that simultaneously achieves all the above desired properties. We also present general ways of transforming existing storage and repair optimal codes to enable fast encoding through sparsity. In practice, such sparse codes result in encoding speedup by a factor of about 4 for typical parameters.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1509.01858v1","authors":["Preetum Nakkiran","K. V.

Carbon-free chemical energy carriers are proposed solutions, converting clean electricity into stable media for storage and long-distance energy trade. Hydrogen (H$_2$) is the subject of significant investment and research. Metal fuels, such as iron (Fe), are promising solutions for a clean energy supply, but establishing an interconnected ecosystem still requires considerable research and development. A model is proposed to assess the supply chain of hydrogen and iron as clean, carbon-free energy carriers and then examines case studies of possible trade routes between the potential energy exporters Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Australia and importers Germany and Japan. The work comprehends the assessment of economic (levelized cost of electricity - LCOE), energetic (thermodynamic efficiency) and environmental (CO$_2$ emissions) aspects, quantified by the comprehensive model accounting for the most critical processes in the supply chain. Sensitivity and uncertainty analyses identify the main drivers for energy costs. Iron is shown to be lower-cost and more efficient to transport in longer routes and for long-term storage, but potentially more expensive and less efficient than H$_2$ to produce and convert. Uncertainties related to the supply chain specifications and the sensitivity to the used variables indicate that the path to viable energy carriers fundamentally depends on efficient synthesis, conversion, storage, and transport. A break-even analysis demonstrated that clean energy carriers could be competitive with conventional energy carriers at low renewable energy prices, while carbon taxes might be needed to level the playing field. Thereby, green iron is an important potential energy carrier for long-distance trade in a globalized clean energy market.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.00681v2","authors":["Jannik Neumann","Rodolfo Cavaliere Da Rocha","Paulo Debiagi","Arne Scholtissek","Frank Dammel","Peter Stephan","Christian Hasse"],"tags":["physics.soc-ph"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-03-01T17:25:37Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2605.26327v1","name":"Reparametrizing Shampoo and SOAP for Subspace Basis Updates and BFloat16 Storage","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Shampoo-based methods, such as KL-Shampoo and SOAP, have demonstrated strong performance in training neural networks and rely on QR decomposition.

Recognizing these limitations, our research pivots towards enabling robust ransomware detection in storage systems keeping in mind their limited computational resources available. To perform our studies, we propose a kernel-based framework capable of efficiently extracting and analyzing IO operations to identify ransomware activity.

We reveal various trade-offs and provide strong arguments for the generalizability of storage-based detection of ransomware and show that our approach outperforms currently available ML-based ransomware detection in storage.

Using these symmetries, we show that there is a dramatic reduction in the number of spectrally distinct carbon nanotori compared with the number of physically distinct carbon nanotori. The existence of these modular symmetries also allows us to demonstrate that many statements in the literature concerning the electronic properties of nanotori are incomplete because they fail to respect the spectral equivalences that follow from these symmetries. We also find that as a result of these modular symmetries, the fraction of spectrally distinct nanotori which are metallic is approximately three times greater than would naively be expected on the basis of standard results in the literature.

At solar metallicity, binary-stripped massive stars -- stars that lost their envelope through stable interaction with a companion -- have been suggested to produce twice as much carbon as their single-star counterparts. However, understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies over cosmic time requires examining stellar yields across a range of metallicities. Using the stellar evolution code MESA, we compute the carbon yields from wind mass loss and supernova explosions of single and binary-stripped stars across a wide range of initial masses ($10$-$46,M_\\odot$), metallicities ($Z = 0.0021$, $0.0047$, $0.0142$), and initial orbital periods ($10$-$5000$ days). We find that metallicity is the dominant factor influencing the carbon yields of massive stars, outweighing the effects of binarity and detailed orbital parameters. Since the chemical yields from binary massive stars are highly sensitive to metallicity, we caution that yields predicted at solar metallicity should not be directly extrapolated to lower metallicities. At sub-solar metallicities, particularly below $1/7$ solar, weak stellar winds and inefficient binary stripping result in carbon yields from binary-stripped stars that closely resemble those of single stars. This suggests that binary-stripped massive stars are unlikely to explain the presence of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars or the carbon enrichment observed in high-redshift galaxies as probed by the James Webb Space Telescope. Our findings only concern the stripped stars in massive binaries. The impact of other outcomes of binary star evolution, in particular stellar mergers and accretors, remains largely unexplored but will be necessary for a full understanding of the role of massive binaries in nucleosynthesis.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.02918v1","authors":["Jing-Ze Ma","Rob Farmer","Selma E. de Mink","Eva Laplace"],"tags":["astro-ph.SR","astro-ph.GA","astro-ph.HE"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-05T18:00:23Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2510.11866v1","name":"Rationally Analyzing Shelby: Proving Incentive Compatibility in a Decentralized Storage Network","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Decentralized storage is one of the most natural applications built on blockchains and a central component of the Web3 ecosystem.

We analyze Shelby -- a storage network protocol recently proposed by Aptos Labs and Jump Crypto -- and provide the first formal proof of its incentive properties.

We also examine coalition behavior and outline a simple modification that strengthens the protocol's collusion-resilience.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.11866v1","authors":["Michael Crystal","Guy Goren","Scott Duke Kominers"],"tags":["cs.GT","cs.DC","cs.MA"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-13T19:20:43Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1606.02870v1","name":"Charge transfer and weak bonding between molecular oxygen and graphene zigzag edges at low temperatures","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of air-physisorbed defective carbon nano-onions evidences in favor of microwave assisted formation of weakly-bound paramagnetic complexes comprising negatively-charged O2- ions and edge carbon atoms carrying pi-electronic spins.

To address this challenge, we present StorInfer, a novel storage-assisted LLM inference system that accelerates response time by precomputing and storing predictable query-response pairs offline. When a user query semantically matches a precomputed query, StorInfer bypasses expensive GPU inference and instantly returns the stored response, significantly reducing latency and compute costs. To maximize coverage and effectiveness, StorInfer employs an LLM-driven generator that adaptively produces diverse and deduplicated queries based on a given knowledge base. This is achieved via two techniques: adaptive query masking, which prevents regeneration of similar queries, and adaptive sampling, which dynamically tunes generation parameters to promote semantic diversity. The resulting query-response pairs are embedded and indexed using a disk-backed vector database to enable fast, similarity-based retrieval at runtime. Using this approach, we generated 150K unique precomputed pairs (taking up to 830 MB of storage space), achieving up to 17.3% latency reduction with no loss in response quality. Our evaluation across multiple QA datasets demonstrates the practicality and scalability of storage-assisted inference, especially in scenarios with predictable query distributions.

Here, we investigate the adsorption of CO2 molecules at the center and side positions of several MOF-linkers using molecular cluster models. The interaction between CO2 and the linkers is approximated by computing the binding enthalpy (ΔH) through the first principles-based Density Functional Theory with Grimmes dispersion correction (i.e., B3LYP-D3) and second-order Moller Plesset Theory (MP2). The computed values of ΔH indicate the weak nature of CO2 adsorption on the pristine linkers, hence the strategy of lithium decoration is used to see its impact on the binding strength. Among the various linkers tested, CO2 adsorbing at the side position of the DFBDC-2 linker has strong adsorption with ΔH value of about -35.32 kJ/mol computed by the B3LYP-D3 method. The Energy Decomposition Analysis (EDA) study reveals that among all the energy terms, the contribution of electrostatic and polarization energy terms to the ΔH value are the most dominant one. Furthermore, the results of Frontier Molecular Orbital Analysis (FMO) revealed that all the linkers remained stable even after Li-decoration.

Smart homes define optimal consumption as either balancing/leveling consumption such that the utility company is presented with a uniform demand or as minimizing consumption costs by storing energy during off-peak time periods when prices are lower and use the stored energy during peak time periods when prices are higher. Due to the varying nature of energy requirements of household and market energy prices over different time periods in a day, households face a trade-off between consuming to meet their current energy requirements and/or storing energy for future consumption and/or spending energy stored in the past. These trade-offs or consumption preferences of the household are modeled as utility functions using consumer theory. We introduce two different utility functions, one for cost minimization and another for consumption balancing/leveling, that are maximized subject to respective budget, consumption, storage and savings constraints to solve for the optimum consumption profile. The optimization problem of a household with energy storage is formulated as a geometric program for consumption balancing/leveling, while cost minimization is formulated as a linear programming problem. Simulation results show that the proposed model achieves extremely low peak to average ratio in the consumption balancing/leveling scheme with about 8% reduction in consumption costs and the least possible amount for electricity bill with about 12% reduction in consumption costs in the cost minimization scheme.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1310.3424v1","authors":["Jayaprakash Rajasekharan","Visa Koivunen"],"tags":["cs.OH"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2013-10-12T21:14:03Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.753Z"},{"id":"arxiv:0609702v1","name":"Carbon Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars.

We show how both the above problematic aspects can be handled when we consider a careful set of approximations in a detailed model of the system. A detailed model has many states, and the transitions between them and the current state captures the \"memory\" of the various components. We model a non-exponential distribution using a sum of exponential distributions, along with the use of a CTMC solver in a probabilistic model checking tool that has support for reducing large state spaces. Furthermore, it is possible to get results close to what is obtained through simulation and at much lower cost.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1503.07931v1","authors":["Prasenjit Karmakar","K.

Satellite CO$_2$ observation from space that reports column-average regional CO$_2$ dry-air mole fractions has gradually indicated its potential to build such a system. Nevertheless, estimating anthropogenic CO$_2$ emissions from CO$_2$ observing satellite is bottlenecked by the influence of the highly complicated physical characteristics of atmospheric activities.

This map, which explores distances up to 15 kpc from the Sun, reveals clear evidence for the dual nature of the Galactic halo, based on the spatial distribution of stellar carbonicity. The metallicity distribution functions of stars in the inner- and outer-halo regions of the carbonicity map reproduce those previously argued to arise from contributions of the inner- and outer-halo populations, with peaks at [Fe/H] = -1.5 and -2.2, respectively. From consideration of the absolute carbon abundances for our sample, A(C), we also confirm that the carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars in the outer-halo region exhibit a higher frequency of CEMP-no stars (those with no overabundances of heavy neutron-capture elements) than of CEMP-s stars (those with strong overabundances of elements associated with the s-process), whereas the stars in the inner-halo region exhibit a higher frequency of CEMP-s stars. We argue that the contrast in the behavior of the CEMP-no and CEMP-s fractions in these regions arises from differences in the mass distributions of the mini-halos from which the stars of the inner- and outer-halo populations formed, which gives rise in turn to the observed dichotomy of the Galactic halo.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.00195v1","authors":["Young Sun Lee","Timothy C.

Different morphology of tiny grains under different chamber pressure is related to different rate of arriving typical energies at/near substrate surface.

However, existing open-source test cases for power system research lack generator-level carbon profiling, preventing the benchmark of carbon-aware operational strategies. To address this gap, this work introduces PGLib-CO2, an open-source extension to the PGLib-OPF test case library. The proposed PGLib-CO2 enriches standard grid test cases with CO2 and CO2-equivalent emission intensity factors to achieve realistic, generator-level carbon profiling with an expanded list of fuel types. Using the standardized data, PGLib-CO2 allows us to enhance the algorithms for computing key carbon emission metrics. We first utilize the differentiable programming paradigm for computing LMCE by treating the OPF-based grid dispatch as a differentiable layer. This method provides a rigorous marginal sensitivity for general convex cost functions, eliminating the need of using a small incremental change in numerical perturbation. Moreover, to accelerate the real-time LMCE computation, we develop an MPP-based approach that shifts the optimization burden to offline phase of identifying the OPF critical regions. Since each critical region is characterized by a pre-computed affine dispatch function, the online phase reduces to identifying the region followed by efficiently evaluating the region-specific LMCE values. Numerical evaluations on IEEE test systems demonstrate that the differentiable LMCE computation attains the precise sensitivity information, and the MPP-based approach retrieves the LMCE signals faster than the direct optimization approach.

Nucleation begins with the formation of a graphene embryo that is bound between opposite step-edges on the nickel catalyst surface. The embryo grows larger as the step-edges migrate along the surface, leading to the formation of a curved carbon cap when the steps flow across the edges of adjacent facets. Further motion of the steps away from the catalyst tip with attached rims of the carbon cap generates the wall of the nanotube. Density Functional Theory calculations bring further insight into the process, showing that step flow occurs by surface self diffusion of the nickel atoms via a step-edge attachment-detachment mechanism. Since the fact that cap forms first in the sequence of stages involved in nanotube growth, we suggest that it originates the helicity of the nanotube. Therefore, the angular distribution of catalyst facets could be exploited as a new parameter for controlling the curvature of the cap and, presumably, the helicity of the nanotube.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1405.1748v2","authors":["Rahul Rao","Renu Sharma","Frank Abild-Pedersen","Jens K.

Recent years have witnessed significant interest in applying log-structured merge tree (LSM-tree) as an alternative to B-tree. The current consensus is that, compared with B-tree, LSM-tree has distinct advantages in terms of storage space efficiency and write amplification. This paper argues that one should revisit this belief upon the arrival of storage hardware with built-in transparent compression. Advanced storage appliances~(e.g., all-flash array) and emerging computational storage drives perform hardware-based lossless data compression, transparent to OS and user applications. Beyond straightforwardly reducing the physical storage cost difference between B-tree and LSM-tree, such modern storage hardware brings new opportunities to innovate B-tree implementation in order to largely reduce its write amplification. As the first step to explore the potential, this paper presents three simple design techniques (i.e., deterministic page shadowing, localized page modification logging, and sparse redo logging) that can leverage such modern storage hardware to significantly reduce the B-tree write amplification. We implemented these design techniques and carried out experiments on a commercial storage drive with built-in transparent compression. The results show that the proposed design techniques can reduce the B-tree write amplification by over 10x. Compared with RocksDB (a popular key-value store built upon LSM-tree), the implemented B-tree can achieve similar or even smaller write amplification and physical storage space usage.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.13987v1","authors":["Yifan Qiao","Xubin Chen","Ning Zheng","Jiangpeng Li","Yang Liu","Tong Zhang"],"tags":["cs.DB"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-07-27T00:17:54Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2206.14363v1","name":"AAE: An Active Auto-Estimator for Improving Graph Storage","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Nowadays, graph becomes an increasingly popular model in many real applications. The efficiency of graph storage is crucial for these applications. Generally speaking, the tune tasks of graph storage rely on the database administrators (DBAs) to find the best graph storage. However, DBAs make the tune decisions by mainly relying on their experiences and intuition. Due to the limitations of DBAs's experiences, the tunes may have an uncertain performance and conduct worse efficiency. In this paper, we observe that an estimator of graph workload has the potential to guarantee the performance of tune operations. Unfortunately, because of the complex characteristics of graph evaluation task, there exists no mature estimator for graph workload. We formulate the evaluation task of graph workload as a classification task and carefully design the feature engineering process, including graph data features, graph workload features and graph storage features. Considering the complex features of graph and the huge time consumption in graph workload execution, it is difficult for the graph workload estimator to obtain enough training set. So, we propose an active auto-estimator (AAE) for the graph workload evaluation by combining the active learning and deep learning. AAE could achieve good evaluation efficiency with limited training set. We test the time efficiency and evaluation accuracy of AAE with two open source graph data, LDBC and Freebase. Experimental results show that our estimator could efficiently complete the graph workload evaluation in milliseconds.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.14363v1","authors":["Yu Yan","Man Yang","Hongzhi Wang","Yuzhuo Wang"],"tags":["cs.DB"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2022-06-29T02:09:01Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:49.754Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1206.4175v1","name":"Clustered Network Coding for Maintenance in Practical Storage Systems","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Classical erasure codes, e.g. Reed-Solomon codes, have been acknowledged as an efficient alternative to plain replication to reduce the storage overhead in reliable distributed storage systems.

However, the high precision offered by the carbon ion Bragg peak requires precise knowledge of the beam range inside the patient. We report the first experimental realization of range monitoring and portal imaging with a mixed ion beam, where carbon ions are treating the tumor while helium ions simultaneously accelerated to the same velocity fully traverse the patient and provide treatment feedback. Using the GSI synchrotron, a beam of 12C3+ and 4He1+ ions is accelerated, exploiting their nearly identical charge-to-mass ratios. Stable extraction with controlled helium fractions down to 7% is demonstrated. Beam characterization reveals that the helium ion Bragg peak can be cleanly separated from the carbon ion fragment background which enables accurate detection of sub-millimeter Bragg peak displacements. Mixed-beam radiographs of a lung-cancer-like phantom offer target position detection to better than 0.5 mm accuracy. This establishes mixed beams as a powerful modality for real-time image guidance in carbon ion therapy, uniquely providing simultaneous treatment delivery, range probing, and portal imaging.

Here, we introduce a large-scale optical data storage scheme that is compatible with the progress in chip fabrication by combining electron-beam lithography (EBL) and ion implantation to deterministically encode high-density data. The approach achieves precise control of ion number and spatial distribution, enabling multi-bit grayscale encoding and wavelength division multiplexing with chip-scale patterning over millimeter areas. Wavelength-selective readout is performed using downconversion and upconversion fluorescence detection, allowing crosstalk-free retrieval of multiplexed data channels. We further develop a neural network-based super-resolution algorithm that reconstructs data beyond the diffraction limit, further increasing the effective storage density. Using this integrated framework, we achieve an optical data density of 10 Gbit/cm$^2$ with high fidelity.

The research objective in this work is to better characterize the energetics and length scales involved with the process of solute and impurity segregation to grain boundaries. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to calculate the segregation energies for carbon within multiple grain boundary sites over a database of 125 symmetric tilt grain boundaries in Fe. The simulation results show that the majority of atomic sites near the grain boundary have segregation energies lower than in the bulk. Moreover, depending on the boundary, the segregation energies approach the bulk value approximately 5-12 Å away from the center of the grain boundary, providing an energetic length scale for carbon segregation. A subsequent data reduction and statistical representation of this dataset provides critical information such as about the mean segregation energy and the associated energy distributions for carbon atoms as a function of distance from the grain boundary, which quantitatively informs higher scale models with energetics and length scales necessary for capturing the segregation behavior of impurities in Fe. The significance of this research is the development of a methodology capable of ascertaining segregation energies over a wide range of grain boundary character (typical of that observed in polycrystalline materials), which herein has been applied to carbon segregation in a specific class of grain boundaries in iron.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1206.5385v2","authors":["N.

In many countries Tier-2 centres are distributed between a number of institutes, e.g., the geographically spread Tier-2s of GridPP in the UK. This presents a number of challenges for experiments to utilise these centres efficaciously, as CPU and storage resources may be sub-divided and exposed in smaller units than the experiment would ideally want to work with. In addition, unhelpful mismatches between storage and CPU at the individual centres may be seen, which make efficient exploitation of a Tier-2's resources difficult. One method of addressing this is to unify the storage across a distributed Tier-2, presenting the centres' aggregated storage as a single system. This greatly simplifies data management for the VO, which then can access a greater amount of data across the Tier-2. However, such an approach will lead to scenarios where analysis jobs on one site's batch system must access data hosted on another site. We investigate this situation using the Glasgow and Edinburgh clusters, which are part of the ScotGrid distributed Tier-2. In particular we look at how to mitigate the problems associated with ``distant'' data access and discuss the security implications of having LAN access protocols traverse the WAN between centres.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/0803.4223v1","authors":["Greig A.

Redundancy is maintained over time through repair mechanisms, which may entail large network resource overheads. In recent years, several novel codes tailor-made for distributed storage have been proposed to optimize storage overhead and repair, such as Regenerating Codes that minimize the per repair traffic, or Self-Repairing Codes which minimize the number of nodes contacted per repair. Existing studies of these coding techniques are however predominantly theoretical, under the simplifying assumption that only one object is stored. They ignore many practical issues that real systems must address, such as data placement, de/correlation of multiple stored objects, or the competition for limited network resources when multiple objects are repaired simultaneously. This paper empirically studies the repair performance of these novel storage centric codes with respect to classical erasure codes by simulating realistic scenarios and exploring the interplay of code parameters, failure characteristics and data placement with respect to the trade-offs of bandwidth usage and speed of repairs.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1206.2187v1","authors":["Lluis Pamies-Juarez","Frédérique Oggier","Anwitaman Datta"],"tags":["cs.DC"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2012-06-11T12:55:53Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2201.00313v2","name":"Secure Determinant Codes for Distributed Storage Systems","source":"arxiv","abstract":"The information-theoretic secure exact-repair regenerating codes for distributed storage systems (DSSs) with parameters $(n,k=d,d,\\ell)$ are studied in this paper.

A range in metallicity of -2.9 &lt;= [Fe/H]} &lt;= -1.6 is found within the giants sampled, with a good correlation between [Fe/H] and [Ca/H]. The great majority of stars in the sample would be classified as having weak absorption in the lambda 3883 CN band, with only a small scatter in band strengths at a given luminosity on the red giant branch. In this sense the behavior of CN among the Draco giants is consistent with the predominantly weak CN bands found among red giants in globular clusters of metallicity [Fe/H] &lt; -1.8. Over half of the giants in the Draco sample have [Fe/H] &gt; -2.25, and among these there is a trend for the [C/Fe] abundance to decrease with increasing luminosity on the red giant branch. This is a phenomenon that is also seen among both field and globular cluster giants of the Galactic halo, where it has been interpreted as a consequence of deep mixing of material between the base of the convective envelope and the outer limits of the hydrogen-burning shell. However, among the six Draco giants observed that turn out to have metallicities -2.65 &lt; [Fe/H] &lt; -2.25 there is no such trend seen in the carbon abundance. This may be due to small sample statistics or primordial inhomogeneities in carbon abundance among the most metal-poor Draco stars. We identify a potential carbon-rich extremely metal-poor star in our sample. This candidate will require follow up observations for confirmation.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1303.3211v1","authors":["Matthew D. Shetrone","Graeme H. Smith","Laura M. Stanford","Michael H.

We use Teff values based on the angular diameters if available or apply a logTeff - M3.4 (the absolute magnitude at 3.4 micron based on the WISE W1 flux and the Hipparcos parallax) relation to estimate Teff values of objects for which angular diameters are unknown. Also, we discuss briefly the HR diagram of low mass stars. On the observed spectrum of M dwarf, the continuum is depressed by the numerous weak lines of H2O and only the depressed continuum or the pseudo- continuum can be seen. On the theoretical spectrum of M dwarfs, we find that the pseudo-continuum can be evaluated accurately thanks to the recent H2O line database. Then quantitative analysis of the spectrum of M dwarf can be done by referring to the pseudo-continua both on the observed and theoretical spectra. Since the basic principle of the spectroscopic analysis should be the same whether the true- or pseudo-continuum is referred to, the difficulty related to the continuum in cool stars can in principle be overcome. Then, the numerous CO lines can be excellent abundance indicators of carbon, since almost all the carbon atoms are in stable CO molecules whose abundance remains almost unchanged for the changes of physical condition in the photosphere and, somewhat unexpectedly, carbon abundances in late-type stars can best be determined in M dwarfs rather than in solar type stars. The resulting C/Fe ratios for most M dwarfs are nearly constant at about the solar value based on the classical high carbon abundance rather than on the recently revised lower value. This result implies that the solar carbon abundance is atypical for its metallicity among the stellar objects in the solar neighborhood if the downward revised solar carbon abundance is correct.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1407.5829v3","authors":["Takashi Tsuji","Tadashi Nakajima"],"tags":["astro-ph.SR"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2014-07-22T11:47:44Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2508.11809v1","name":"Comprehensive Structural Characterization of Charged Polymers Involved in Moisture-Driven Direct Air Capture","source":"arxiv","abstract":"The rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels has led to urgent calls for effective carbon capture methods, with direct air capture (DAC) emerging as a promising solution.

Approach: High-fidelity Monte Carlo simulations were conducted using the GATE/Geant4 platform to model a standard CTP404 phantom. RSP maps were reconstructed using an iterative Richardson-Lucy deconvolution algorithm. Imaging performance was evaluated by comparing reconstructed RSP values against ground truth data for various tissue-equivalent inserts, while integral doses were estimated for a human head geometry. Main results: All investigated particle modalities demonstrated a significant dose reduction compared to conventional X-ray CT protocols (which are approximately 40 mGy). The estimated imaging doses were 1.6 mGy for protons, 3.9 mGy for helium ions, and 22.7 mGy for carbon ions. In terms of accuracy, carbon-ion imaging achieved the highest fidelity for soft-tissue materials (mean absolute error &lt;0.5\\%). Helium ions offered a balanced performance with sub-1\\% errors for most materials and a dose burden significantly lower than carbon ions. Protons exhibited the widest range of RSP deviations (-1.8\\% to +3.1\\%). Significance: Direct particle imaging eliminates the systematic uncertainties inherent in photon-to-hadron conversion.

The thermodynamic conditions near the graphite-diamond-liquid (GDL) triple point are especially of interest for geological and technological applications, but high-pressure flash heating experiments aiming to resolve this region of the phase diagram of carbon exhibit large discrepancies. Experimental challenges are often related to the persistence of metastable crystalline or glassy phases, superheated crystals, or supercooled liquids. A deeper understanding of the crystallisation kinetics of diamond and graphite is crucial for effectively interpreting the outcomes of these experiments. Here, we reveal the microscopic mechanisms of diamond and graphite nucleation from liquid carbon through molecular simulations with first-principles machine learning potentials. Our simulations accurately reproduce the experimental phase diagram of carbon in the region around the GDL triple point and show that liquid carbon crystallises spontaneously upon cooling at constant pressure. Surprisingly, metastable graphite crystallises in the domain of diamond thermodynamic stability at pressures above the triple point. Furthermore, whereas diamond crystallises through a classical nucleation pathway, graphite follows a two-step process in which low-density fluctuations forego ordering. Calculations of the nucleation rates of the two competing phases confirm this result and reveal a manifestation of Ostwald's step rule where the strong metastability of graphite hinders the transformation to the stable diamond phase. Our results provide a new key to interpreting melting and recrystallisation experiments and shed light on nucleation kinetics in polymorphic materials with deep metastable states.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.02069v2","authors":["Davide Donadio","Margaret L.

Where robotic mapping systems attempt to solve the data association problem to minimise representational aliasing, neurons in the brain intentionally break data association by encoding large (potentially unlimited) numbers of places with a single neuron. In this paper, we propose a novel method based on supervised learning techniques that seeks out regularly repeating visual patterns in the environment with mutually complementary co-prime frequencies, and an encoding scheme that enables storage requirements to grow sub-linearly with the size of the environment being mapped. To improve robustness in challenging real-world environments while maintaining storage growth sub-linearity, we incorporate both multi-exemplar learning and data augmentation techniques. Using large benchmark robotic mapping datasets, we demonstrate the combined system achieving high-performance place recognition with sub-linear storage requirements, and characterize the performance-storage growth trade-off curve.

Traditionally, computer memory organization is static - i.e., they do not change based on the application-specific characteristics in memory access behaviour during system operation. Specifically, the association of a data block with a search pattern (or cues) as well as the granularity of a stored data do not evolve. Such a static nature of computer memory, we observe, not only limits the amount of data we can store in a given physical storage, but it also misses the opportunity for dramatic performance improvement in various applications. On the contrary, human memory is characterized by seemingly infinite plasticity in storing and retrieving data - as well as dynamically creating/updating the associations between data and corresponding cues. In this paper, we introduce Neural Storage (NS), a brain-inspired learning memory paradigm that organizes the memory as a flexible neural memory network. In NS, the network structure, strength of associations, and granularity of the data adjust continuously during system operation, providing unprecedented plasticity and performance benefits. We present the associated storage/retrieval/retention algorithms in NS, which integrate a formalized learning process.

The efficacy of dust-driven mass loss has been queried. Spitzer observation of AGB stars in Local Group Galaxies show the surprising result that at low metallicity, AGB mass loss occurs at low luminosity, possibly lower than in the Galaxy, but only for carbon-rich stars. Oxygen-rich stars in the Galaxy and in lower metallicity galaxies have similar mass-loss rates only at high luminosities. To explain this dichotomy, we propose that the superwind has a dual trigger. The superwind starts either when sufficient excess carbon builds up for efficient formation of carbonaceous dust (which we propose occurs when $X_{\\rm CO} = \\rm (C - O)/ O_\\odot = 0.1$), or when the luminosity reaches a value sufficient for a silicate-dust-driven wind (proposed at $L = 10^4 Z^{-4/3} \\rm L_\\odot)$. We show that this dual trigger fits the current observational constraints: the luminosity at which the superwind begins, and the predominance of carbon superwind star at low metallicity. We use stellar evolution models to check the consistency of our explanations and present detailed predictions of the luminosities at which the superwind is triggered for different metallicities and initial stellar masses.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/0807.3730v1","authors":["Eric Lagadec","Albert A.

We implemented a data-based research analysis where, for each country, we analyzed the related data for fifty-six years, from 1960 to 2016, to assess the relationship between the carbon emission and income level. After performing the related data analysis for each country, we concluded whether the results for that country were in line with the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. The EKC hypothesis suggests that the carbon emission per capita starts a declining trend when the country-specific high level of income is reached. The results of our data analyses show that the EKC hypothesis is valid for high-income countries and the declining trends of carbon emission are clearly observed when the income level reaches a specific high enough level. On the other hand, for the non-high income countries, our analysis results show that it is too early to make an assessment at this growth stage of their economies because they have not reached their related high-enough income per capita levels yet. Furthermore, we performed two more additional analyses on high-income countries. First, we analyzed the related starting years of their carbon emission declining trends. The big variance in the starting years of the carbon emission declining trends shows that the international policies are clearly ineffective in initiating the declining trend in carbon emission. In addition, for the high-income countries, we explained the differences in their carbon emission per capita levels in 2014 with their SGI indices and their dependence on high-carbon emission energy production.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.11756v1","authors":["Elvan Ece Satici","Bayram Cakir"],"tags":["econ.GN"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-05-25T08:52:36Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2510.15885v1","name":"ConZone+: Practical Zoned Flash Storage Emulation for Consumer Devices","source":"arxiv","abstract":"To facilitate the understanding and efficient enhancement of software and hardware design for consumer-grade zoned flash storage, ConZone is proposed as the first emulator designed to model the resource constraints and architectural features typical of such systems.

The purpose of this study is to explore the origin of these discrepancies. Detailed simulations using the Geant4 toolkit were performed to investigate the radiation field in the nanodosimeter and provide input data for track structure simulations, which were performed with a developed version of the PTra code. The Geant4 simulations show that with the narrow-beam geometry employed in the experiment, only a small fraction of the carbon ions traverse the nanodosimeter and their mean energy is between 12 % and 30 % lower than the targeted values. Only about one-third or less of these carbon ions hit the trigger detector. The track structure simulations indicate that the observed enhanced ionization cluster sizes are mainly due to coincidences with events in which carbon ions miss the trigger detector. In addition, the discrepancies observed for high absorber thicknesses of carbon ions traversing the target volume could be explained by assuming an increase in thickness or interaction cross-sections in the order of 1 %. The results show that even with strong collimation of the radiation field, future nanodosimetric measurements of clinical carbon ion beams will require large trigger detectors to register all events with carbon ions traversing the nanodosimeter. Energy loss calculations of the primary beam in the absorbers are insufficient and should be replaced by detailed simulations when planning such experiments. Uncertainties of the interaction cross-sections in simulation codes may shift the Bragg peak position.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.19094v2","authors":["Miriam Schwarze","Gerhard Hilgers","Hans Rabus"],"tags":["physics.med-ph"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-29T12:23:35Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"arxiv:0410630v1","name":"Microelectronic interconnects based on carbon nanotubes","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Carbon nanotubes have emerged as a possible new material for electronic applications.

By continuous interacting with the cache environment and the data stream, Phoebe is capable to extract critical temporal data dependency and relative positional information from a single trace, becoming ever smarter over time. To reduce training overhead during online learning, we utilize periodical training to amortize costs. Phoebe is evaluated on a set of Microsoft cloud storage workloads. Experiment results show that Phoebe is able to close the gap of cache miss rate from LRU and a state-of-the-art online learning based cache policy to the Belady's optimal policy by 70.3% and 52.6%, respectively.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.07160v1","authors":["Nan Wu","Pengcheng Li"],"tags":["cs.PF","cs.AI","cs.LG","cs.OS"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-11-13T22:55:15Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1103.4532v1","name":"A Carbon-Cycle Based Stochastic Cellular Automata Climate Model","source":"arxiv","abstract":"In this article a stochastic cellular automata model is examined, which has been developed to study a \"small\" world, where local changes may noticeably alter global characteristics.

Most existing large-scale energy system studies on PTES do not account for temperature differences between storage and the network. Neglecting these temperature differences can result in less efficient PTES integration, since they affect usable energy capacity and introduce additional costs for discharge requiring temperature boosting. To explore how temperature constraints shape the system-level value of PTES, we use PyPSA-DE, an open-source sector-coupled capacity expansion model of Germany and neighboring countries in a scenario with net zero carbon emissions for 2045. To isolate PTES effects, we examine counterfactual scenarios: systems without PTES, idealized systems with PTES but without temperature constraints, and feasible systems with boosting. We find that PTES reduces German annual system costs by 135-345 M EUR per year relative to systems relying solely on tank storage. Lowering maximum forward temperatures from 124 degrees C to 95 degrees C decreases district heating costs by 7.6 percent without PTES and 10 percent with PTES. Idealized scenarios without temperature constraints yield district heating cost savings of up to 15 percent, indicating that temperature-agnostic modeling overestimates PTES benefits. PTES provides economic value even under current high temperatures, though temperature misalignment limits its contribution during peak demand due to the need for boosting. The findings highlight the role of PTES in leveraging low-price electricity through electrified heating while emphasizing the importance of explicitly accounting for temperature constraints.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.07647v1","authors":["Caspar Schauß","Amos Schledorn","Tom Kähler","Kristina Schumacher","Mathias Ammon","Tom Brown"],"tags":["physics.soc-ph"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-12T15:27:55Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2604.06579v2","name":"SonicDB S6: A Storage-Efficient Verkle Trie for High-Throughput Blockchains","source":"arxiv","abstract":"The Ethereum state database uses Merkle Patricia Trie (MPT), which suffers from large witness proof sizes and high storage overhead.

A simple 2-D classification of the spectra, based on their spectral slopes in different wavelength regions, has been constructed and found to be related to the more conventional c- and j-indices, modified to suit the spectral regions observed.

On the assumption of fixed bond lengths, (only flexible bond angle), the Poisson ratio of all chirality tubes is obtained to be 1.When realistic flexibility of bond lengths and bond angles is assumed, the Poisson ratio is between ~0 and 0.3, depending upon chirality.

Previous studies found that if the mass-accretion rate is greater than a critical value, the He-accreting CO WD will undergo inwardly propagating (off-centre) carbon ignition when it increases its mass close to the Chandrasekhar limit. The inwardly propagating carbon flame was supposed to reach the centre by previous works, leading to the production of an oxygen-neon (ONe) WD that may collapse into a neutron star but not an SN Ia. However, it is still uncertain how the carbon flame propagates under the effect of mixing mechanisms. In the present work, we aim to investigate the off-centre carbon burning of the He-accreting CO WDs by considering the effect of convective mixing. We found that the temperature of the flame is high enough to burn the carbon into silicon-group elements in the outer part of the CO core even if the convective overshooting is considered, but the flame would quench somewhere inside the WD, resulting in the formation of a C-O-Si WD. Owing to the inefficiency of thermohaline mixing, the C-O-Si WD may explode as an SN Ia if it continues to grow in mass. Our radiation transfer simulations show that the SN ejecta with the silicon-rich outer layer will form high-velocity absorption lines in Si II, leading to some similarities to a class of the high-velocity SNe Ia in the spectral evolution. We estimate that the birthrate of SNe Ia with Si-rich envelope is ~ 10^(-4)/yr in our galaxy.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.01967v1","authors":["Chengyuan Wu","Bo Wang","Xiaofeng Wang","Keiichi Maeda","Paolo Mazzali"],"tags":["astro-ph.HE","astro-ph.SR"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-05-05T06:49:54Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2308.10137v1","name":"MgH2 nanoparticles confined in reduced graphene oxide pillared with organosilica: a novel type of hydrogen storage material","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier that can push forward the energy transition because of its high energy density (142 MJ kg-1), variety of potential sources, low weight and low environmental impact, but its storage for automotive applications remains a formidable challenge.

Second, utilizing storage instead of additional transmission infrastructure to prevent grid congestion. In the paper, we apply a comprehensive capacity expansion model based on the AnyMOD modelling framework to compare the status quo to alternative planning approaches for a fully renewable energy system. To represent spatiality and fluctuations of renewables, the German electricity sector is modelled with great spatio-temporal detail of 32 NUTS2 regions and hourly time-steps. In addition to the German electricity sector, analysis also accounts for exchange of energy with the rest of Europe and demand for electricity and electricity-based fuels, like hydrogen or synthetic gases, from the industry, transport, and heat sector. The results reveal that a first-best solution can be well approximated if the current planning approach also considered storage for congestion management. Placing renewables different has no significant effect in our case, because the available potential must be exploited almost entirely leaving little room for optimization. Furthermore, a sensitivity on the first-best scenario prohibiting additional transmission lines entirely suggests that grid expansion can be substituted at tolerable costs.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.04863v1","authors":["Leonard Göke","Mario Kendziorski","Claudia Kemfert","Christian von Hirschhausen"],"tags":["physics.soc-ph"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-08-10T18:32:07Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2003.05201v1","name":"Heavy-Ion Storage Rings and Their Use in Precision Experiments with Highly Charged Ions","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Storage rings have been employed over three decades in various kinds of nuclear and atomic physics experiments with highly charged ions.

To leverage the full power of the prefix-based nature of PCR addressing, we define a methodology for transforming the internal addressing scheme of a partition into an equivalent that is PCR-compatible. This allows us to run PCR with primers that can be variably elongated to include a desired part of the internal address, and thus narrow down the scope of the reaction to retrieve a specific block or a range of blocks within the partition with sufficiently high accuracy.

We observed that the ST behavior under tensile tests is similar to the one presented by fishing nets. This interesting behavior provides a way to vary the accessible channels to the inner parts of STs by applying external mechanical load. The Young's modulus is dependent on the ST chirality and it inversely varies with the ST radius. Smaller reduction of breaking strain values due to temperature increase is predicted for zigzag STs compared to SWCNTs. The results show that, for STs with radius ~ 5 nm, the junctions between the constituent SWCNTs play an important role on the fracture process. The Young's modulus and tensile strength were estimated for hierarchical higher-order STs using scaling laws related to the ST fractal dimension.

A methodology is presented to determine the optimum mix of short- and medium-duration storage needed to support system operation at increased RES penetration levels, using the mixed integer linear programming mathematical optimization. The Greek power system serves as a realistic study case, in its planned development for the year 2030, with a targeted annual RES energy penetration in the order of 60%. Li-ion batteries and pumped-hydro are selected as the representative technologies to include in the storage mix, assuming energy-to-power ratios of up to 6 hours for the former and 10 hours for the latter.

The optimum storage portfolio for the study case system and the targeted RES penetration level combines 2-h batteries and 6-h pumped-hydro stations, with an aggregate capacity of new facilities between 1250 MW and 1750 MW, on top of the existing 700 MW of open-loop pumped hydro plants.

However, the moiré pattern of TBG consists of more than ten thousand carbon atoms that is not easy to handle with conventional methods. By density functional theory calculations, we obtain a flat band at E$_F$ in a novel carbon monolayer coined as cyclicgraphdiyne with the unit cell of eighteen atoms. By doping holes into cyclicgraphdiyne to make the flat band partially occupied, we find that cyclicgraphdiyne with 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 hole doping concentration shows ferromagnetism (half-metal) while the case without doping is nonmagnetic, indicating a hole-induced nonmagnetic-ferromagnetic transition. The calculated conductivity of cyclicgraphdiyne with 1/8, 1/4 and 3/8 hole doping concentration is much higher than that without doping or with 1/2 hole doping. These results make cyclicgraphdiyne really attractive.

Our results shed insightful light on the formation of flat band in TBG.

In this paper, we propose a computational storage platform that can accelerate a large-scale graph-based nearest neighbor search algorithm based on SmartSSD CSD. To this end, we modify the algorithm more amenable on the hardware and implement two types of accelerators using HLS- and RTL-based methodology with various optimization methods. In addition, we scale up the proposed platform to have 4 SmartSSDs and apply graph parallelism to boost the system performance further. As a result, the proposed computational storage platform achieves 75.59 query per second throughput for the SIFT1B dataset at 258.66W power dissipation, which is 12.83x and 17.91x faster and 10.43x and 24.33x more energy efficient than the conventional CPU-based and GPU-based server platform, respectively.

Land managers typically rely on computationally complex models fit using sparse datasets to make these accounts and predictions. The model complexity and sparsity of the data can lead to over-fitting, leading to inaccurate results when making predictions with new data. Modellers address over-fitting by simplifying their models and reducing the number of parameters, and in the current context this could involve neglecting some soil organic carbon (SOC) components. In this study, we introduce two novel SOC models and a new RothC-like model and investigate how the SOC components and complexity of the SOC models affect the SOC prediction in the presence of small and sparse time series data. We develop model selection methods that can identify the soil carbon model with the best predictive performance, in light of the available data.

We present models of a new steady-state regime of stable hydrogen and helium burning that produces pure carbon ashes. Hot CNO burning of hydrogen heats the neutron star envelope and causes helium to burn before the conditions of a helium flash are reached. This takes place when the mass accretion rate is around 10% of the Eddington limit: close to the rate where most superbursts occur.

One promising solution targeting offline inference is offloading-based batched inference, which extends the GPU's memory hierarchy with host memory and storage. However, it often suffers from substantial I/O overhead, primarily due to the large KV cache sizes that scale with batch size and context window length. In this paper, we introduce HILOS, a framework that boosts offline inference throughput using near-storage processing. The core of HILOS is attention near storage, which offloads memory-intensive attention operations to near-storage accelerators, reducing traffic across the system interconnect. Building on attention near storage, HILOS incorporates three additional optimizations. First, cooperative X-cache minimizes KV cache I/O by exploiting available host resources after offloading. Second, delayed KV cache writeback hides storage write latency and mitigates storage write amplification. Finally, a memory-efficient attention accelerator sustains high throughput for long sequences within the resource constraints of NSP devices. We implemented and evaluated HILOS on a real system equipped with 16 SmartSSDs.

However, the encoding density (i.e., how many binary bits can be encoded into one nucleotide) and error handling are two major factors intertwined in DNA storage. Considering encoding density, theoretically, one nucleotide can encode two binary bits (upper bound). However, due to biochemical constraints and other necessary information associated with payload, the encoding densities of various DNA storage systems are much less than this upper bound. Additionally, all existing studies of DNA encoding schemes are based on static analysis and really lack the awareness of dynamically changed digital patterns. Therefore, the gap between the static encoding and dynamic binary patterns prevents achieving a higher encoding density for DNA storage systems. In this paper, we propose a new Digital Pattern-Aware DNA storage system, called DP-DNA, which can efficiently store digital data in DNA storage with high encoding density. DP-DNA maintains a set of encoding codes and uses a digital pattern-aware code (DPAC) to analyze the patterns of a binary sequence for a DNA strand and selects an appropriate code for encoding the binary sequence to achieve a high encoding density. An additional encoding field is added to the DNA encoding format, which can distinguish the encoding scheme used for those DNA strands, and thus we can decode DNA data back to its original digital data. Moreover, to further improve the encoding density, a variable-length scheme is proposed to increase the feasibility of the coding scheme with a high encoding density. Finally, the experimental results indicate that the proposed DP-DNA achieves up to 103.5% higher encoding densities than prior work.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.04123v2","authors":["Bingzhe Li","Li Ou","David Du"],"tags":["cs.ET"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2021-08-09T15:47:30Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2201.03361v1","name":"Storage and analysis of light-matter entanglement in a fibre-integrated system","source":"arxiv","abstract":"The deployment of a fully-fledged quantum internet poses the challenge of finding adequate building-blocks for entanglement distribution between remote quantum nodes.

Searchable encryption allows a cloud server to conduct a search over encrypted data on behalf of the data users without learning the underlying plaintexts. While many academic SE schemes show provable security, they usually expose some query information, making them less practical, weak in usability, and challenging to deploy. Also, sharing encrypted data with other authorized users must provide each document's secret key. However, this way has many limitations due to the difficulty of key management and distribution. We have designed the system using the existing cryptographic approaches, ensuring the search on encrypted data over the cloud. The primary focus of our proposed model is to ensure user privacy and security through a less computationally intensive, user-friendly system with a trusted third party entity. To demonstrate our proposed model, we have implemented a web application called CryptoSearch as an overlay system on top of a well-known cloud storage domain. It exhibits secure search on encrypted data with no compromise to the user-friendliness and the scheme's functional performance in real-world applications.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.03547v1","authors":["Mazharul Islam"],"tags":["cs.CR"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-06-06T09:48:57Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"arxiv:0208167v1","name":"Nanofriction behavior of cluster-assembled carbon films","source":"arxiv","abstract":"We have characterized the frictional properties of nanostructured (ns) carbon films grown by Supersonic Cluster Beam Deposition (SCBD) via an Atomic Force-Friction Force Microscope (AFM-FFM).

By 2026, the Together for Sustainability (TfS) consortium will require reporting of biogenic carbon content (BCC) in chemical products, posing a challenge as BCC depends on feedstocks, value chain configuration, and process-specific variables. While carbon-14 isotope analysis can measure BCC, it is impractical for continuous industrial monitoring. This work presents CarAT (Carbon Atom Tracker), an automated methodology for calculating BCC across industrial value chains, enabling dynamic and accurate sustainability reporting. The approach leverages existing Enterprise Resource Planning data in three stages: (1) preparing value chain data, (2) performing atom mapping in chemical reactions using chemistry language models, and (3) applying a linear program to calculate BCC given known inlet compositions. The methodology is validated on a 27-node industrial toluene diisocyanate value chain. Three scenarios are analysed: a base case with fossil feedstocks, a case incorporating a renewable feedstock, and a butanediol value chain with a recycle stream. Results are visualised with Sankey diagrams showing the flow of carbon attributes across the value chain. The key contribution is a scalable, automated method for real-time BCC calculation under changing industrial conditions. CarAT supports compliance with upcoming reporting mandates and advances carbon neutrality goals by enabling systematic fossil-to-biogenic substitution. Through transparent, auditable tracking of carbon sources in production networks, it empowers data-driven decisions to accelerate the transition to sustainable manufacturing.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.10216v1","authors":["Emma Pajak","David Walz","Olga Walz","Laura Marie Helleckes","Klaus Hellgardt","Antonio del Rio Chanona"],"tags":["cs.CE"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-13T22:03:16Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2102.01839v1","name":"On Coding for an Abstracted Nanopore Channel for DNA Storage","source":"arxiv","abstract":"In the emerging field of DNA storage, data is encoded as DNA sequences and stored.

Information storage (IS), the main measure quantifying the active utilization of memory in a dynamic system, is only defined for discrete-time processes. While recent theoretical work laid the foundations for the continuous-time analysis of the predictive capacity stored in a process, methods for the effective computation of the related measures are needed to favor widespread utilization on neural data. This work introduces a method for the model-free estimation of the so-called memory utilization rate (MUR), the continuous-time counterpart of the IS, specifically designed to quantify the predictive capacity stored in neural point processes. The method employs nearest-neighbor entropy estimation applied to the inter-spike intervals measured from point-process realizations to quantify the extent of memory used by a spike train. An empirical procedure based on surrogate data is implemented to compensate the estimation bias and detect statistically significant levels of memory. The method is validated in simulated Poisson processes and in realistic models of coupled cortical dynamics and heartbeat dynamics. It is then applied to real spike trains reflecting central and autonomic nervous system activities: in spontaneously growing cortical neuron cultures, the MUR detected increasing memory utilization across maturation stages, associated to emergent bursting synchronized activity; in the study of the neuro-autonomic modulation of human heartbeats, the MUR reflected the sympathetic activation occurring with postural but not with mental stress. The proposed approach offers a computationally reliable tool to analyze spike train data in computational neuroscience and physiology.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.15875v1","authors":["Gorana Mijatovic","Sebastiano Stramaglia","Luca Faes"],"tags":["q-bio.NC","stat.CO"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-28T15:46:05Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.310Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2505.04081v2","name":"QStore: Quantization-Aware Compressed Model Storage","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Modern applications commonly leverage large, multi-modal foundation models. These applications often feature complex workflows that demand the storage and usage of similar models in multiple precisions. A straightforward approach is to maintain a separate file for each model precision (e.g., INT8, BF16), which is indeed the approach taken by many model providers such as HuggingFace and Ollama. However, this approach incurs excessive storage costs since a higher precision model (e.g., BF16) is a strict superset of a lower precision model (e.g., INT8) in terms of information. Unfortunately, simply maintaining only the higher-precision model and requiring every user to dynamically convert the model precision is not desirable because every user of lower precision models must pay the cost for model download and precision conversion. In this paper, we present QStore, a unified, lossless compression format for simultaneously storing a model in two (high and low) precisions efficiently. Instead of storing low-precision and high-precision models separately, QStore stores low-precision model and only the residual information needed to reconstruct high-precision models. The size of residual information is significantly smaller than the original high-precision models, thus achieving high savings in storage cost. Moreover, QStore does not compromise the speed of model loading. The low-precision models can be loaded quickly just like before. The high-precision models can also be reconstructed efficiently in memory by merging low-precision data and the residual with QStore's lightweight decoding logic. We evaluate QStore for compressing multiple precisions of popular foundation models, and show that QStore reduces overall storage footprint by up to 2.2x (45% of the original size) while enabling up to 1.7x and 1.8x faster model saving and loading versus existing approaches.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.04081v2","authors":["Raunak Shah","Zhaoheng Li","Yongjoo Park"],"tags":["cs.DB"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-07T02:47:51Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1305.5764v1","name":"Replication based storage systems with local repair","source":"arxiv","abstract":"We consider the design of regenerating codes for distributed storage systems that enjoy the property of local, exact and uncoded repair, i.e., (a) upon failure, a node can be regenerated by simply downloading packets from the surviving nodes and (b) the number of surviving nodes contacted is strictly smaller than the number of nodes that need to be contacted for reconstructing the stored file.

Such energetic processing not only modifies the interstellar matter but also injects chemical species in the gas phase. In this work, we study the effect of the CR on the astrophysical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). For events in which many electrons are stripped out from the PAH by interaction with a heavy cosmic ray particle, coulomb explosion takes place and carbon chains are produced. The fragments production rates of carbon chains are of particular interest for astrophysical models. We computed PAH multi-ionization cross sections with an Independent Atom and Electron collisional model. We introduced and used a model to predict the fragmentation pattern for the coulomb explosion. Experimental measurements on small hydrocarbons, C$_{60}$ and PAHs were used to set confidence intervals on the calculations results. The carbon chains production rates were calculated using different CR fluxes and elemental compositions, to account for the variations expected in various astrophysical environments. A range of PAH sizes and compactness were also explored. The PAH lifetime with respect to a standard interstellar CR flux (corresponding to an H$_2$ ionization rate of $ζ\\approx$ 6.10$^{-17}$s$^{-1}$) is found to be in the order of a few billion years. The production rates of interstellar carbon chains containing around 5-15 carbon atoms are in the order of few to many tens of percent of the H$_2$ ionization rate $ζ$. The exact rate value relies on the nature of the PAH and on the CR composition. In diffuse medium, with ten percent of the available cosmic carbon locked in PAHs, this process leads to carbon chain fractional abundances at steady state, in the range of $10^{-15}$-$10^{-14}$, with a confidence interval of about one order of magnitude. It reaches $10^{-13}$ in quiescent dense clouds.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.07803v1","authors":["Marin Chabot","Karine Béroff","Emmanuel Dartois","Thomas Pino","Marie Godard"],"tags":["astro-ph.GA"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2017-09-22T15:15:01Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2202.08945v1","name":"Direct Measurement of Storage and Loss Behavior in AFM Force-Distance Experiments Using the Modified Fourier Transformation","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Force-distance curve experiments are commonly performed in Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to obtain the viscoelastic characteristics of materials, such as the storage and loss moduli or compliances.

Interestingly, recent studies have proven that it was possible to use synthetic DNA for the storage of digital data, introducing a strong candidate to achieve data longevity. The DNA's biological properties allows the storage of a great amount of information into an extraordinary small volume while also promising efficient storage for centuries or even longer with no loss of information.

After a storage node fails, the lost data should be regenerated at a replacement storage node as soon as possible to maintain the same level of redundancy. Minimizing such a regeneration time is critical to the reliability of distributed storage systems. Existing work commits to reduce the regeneration time by either minimizing the regenerating traffic, or adjusting the regenerating traffic patterns, whereas nodes participating data regeneration are generally assumed to be given beforehand. However, such regeneration time also depends heavily on the selection of the participating nodes. Selecting different participating nodes actually involve different data links between the nodes. Real-world distributed storage systems usually exhibit heterogeneous link capacities. It is possible to further reduce the regeneration time via exploiting such link capacity differences and avoiding the link bottlenecks. In this paper, we consider the minimization of the regeneration time by selecting the participating nodes in heterogeneous networks. We analyze the regeneration time and propose node selection algorithms for overlay networks and real-world topologies. Considering that the flexible amount of data blocks from each provider may deeply influence the regeneration time, several techniques are designed to enhance our schemes in overlay networks. Experimental results show that our node selection schemes can significantly reduce the regeneration time for each topology, especially in practical networks with heterogeneous link capacities.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.05579v1","authors":["Qingyuan Gong","Jiaqi Wang","Yan Wang","Dongsheng Wei","Jin Wang","Xin Wang"],"tags":["cs.DC"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-06-18T08:12:12Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2605.04023v1","name":"Decentralized Edge Caching under Budget and Storage Constraints: A Game-Theoretic Approach","source":"arxiv","abstract":"The rapid growth of mobile social networks (MSNs) has significantly increased the demand for low-latency and reliable content delivery, motivating the deployment of edge caching systems. In practice, multiple content providers (CPs) compete for the limited storage resources of edge devices (EDs), while facing heterogeneous budgets and operational costs. This paper investigates a decentralized multi-CP edge caching framework that jointly accounts for CP budget constraints, ED storage limitations, and strategic interactions among all entities. We formulate the interaction between CPs and EDs as a hierarchical game, combining a Stackelberg model for CP-ED interactions with a non-cooperative game among competing CPs. Under light storage constraints, we show that CP competition constitutes an exact potential game, ensuring the existence of a pure-strategy Nash equilibrium and enabling decentralized convergence. When storage constraints are binding, the resulting game loses this structure; nevertheless, extensive simulations demonstrate stable and efficient convergence in practice. Through a comprehensive numerical evaluation, we show that convergence behavior is primarily driven by CP competition rather than the scale of edge infrastructure. We further reveal that storage scarcity fundamentally alters economic outcomes, amplifying inequality among CPs while increasing the relative bargaining power of EDs.

The spectra cover the wavelength range 5--38 micron. They show varying combinations of dust continuum, dust emission features (SiC, MgS) and molecular absorption bands (C2H2, HCN). A set of four narrow bands, dubbed the Manchester system, is used to define the infrared continuum for dusty carbon stars. The relations between the continuum colours and the strength of the dust and molecular features are studied, and are compared to Galactic stars of similar colours. The circumstellar 7-micron C2H2 band is found to be stronger at lower metallicity, from a comparison of stars in the Galaxy, the LMC and the SMC. This is explained by dredge-up of carbon, causing higher C/O ratios at low metallicity (less O). A possible 10-micron absorption feature seen in our spectra may be due to C3. This band has also been identified with interstellar silicate or silicon-nitrite dust. The line-to-continuum ratio of theSiC and MgS bands shows some indication of being lower at low metallicity. The MgS band is only seen at dust temperatures below 600 K. We discuss the selection of carbon versus oxygen-rich AGB stars using the J-K vs. K-A colours, and show that these colours are relatively insensitive to chemical type. Metal-poor carbon stars form amorphous carbon dust from self-produced carbon. The formation efficiency of oxygen-rich dust depends more strongly on metallicity.

To enable easy, reliable, secure, and performant data exchange among these different systems, we propose Connector, a pluggable data access architecture for diverse, distributed storage. By abstracting low-level storage system details, this abstraction permits a managed data transfer service (Globus in our case) to interact with a large and easily extended set of storage systems. Equally important, it supports third-party transfers: that is, direct data transfers from source to destination that are initiated by a third-party client but do not engage that third party in the data path. The abstraction also enables management of transfers for performance optimization, error handling, and end-to-end integrity. We present the Connector design, describe implementations for different storage services, evaluate tradeoffs inherent in managed vs.\\ direct transfers, motivate recommended deployment options, and propose a performance model-based method that allows for easy characterization of performance in different contexts without exhaustive benchmarking.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.03190v1","authors":["Zhengchun Liu","Rajkumar Kettimuthu","Joaquin Chung","Rachana Ananthakrishnan","Michael Link","Ian Foster"],"tags":["cs.DC"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2020-09-07T15:52:55Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1203.3196v2","name":"Establishing Analogies between the Physics of Extra Dimensions and Carbon Nanotubes","source":"arxiv","abstract":"We point out a conceptual analogy between the physics of extra spatial dimensions and the physics of carbon nanotubes which arises for principle reasons, although the corresponding energy scales are at least ten orders of magnitude apart.

DSS supports both experimental and simulated data, allowing researchers to employ the same processing scripts and tools across different datasets. Unlike existing standardization efforts such as SigMF and NI RF Data Recording API, DSS provides a broader scope by accommodating a common definition file for testbeds and is not limited to RF data storage. The dataset format utilizes a hierarchical structure, with a tensor representation for specific experiment scenarios. In summary, DSS offers a comprehensive and flexible framework for enhancing the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) in 6G testbeds, promoting open and efficient data sharing in the research community.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.02662v1","authors":["Gilles Callebaut","Michiel Sandra","Christian Nelson","Thomas Wilding","Daan Delabie","Benjamin J.

For low latency, modern storage systems often settle for weak consistency conditions, which provide little, or even worse, no guarantee for data consistency. In this paper we propose the notion of almost strong consistency as a better balance option for the consistency/latency tradeoff. It provides both deterministically bounded staleness of data versions for each read and probabilistic quantification on the rate of \"reading stale values\", while achieving low latency. In the context of distributed storage systems, we investigate almost strong consistency in terms of 2-atomicity. Our 2AM (2-Atomicity Maintenance) algorithm completes both reads and writes in one communication round-trip, and guarantees that each read obtains the value of within the latest 2 versions. To quantify the rate of \"reading stale values\", we decompose the so-called \"old-new inversion\" phenomenon into concurrency patterns and read-write patterns, and propose a stochastic queueing model and a \"timed balls-into-bins model\" to analyze them, respectively. The theoretical analysis not only demonstrates that \"old-new inversions\" rarely occur as expected, but also reveals that the read-write pattern dominates in guaranteeing such rare data inconsistencies. These are further confirmed by the experimental results, showing that 2-atomicity is \"good enough\" in distributed storage systems by achieving low latency, bounded staleness, and rare data inconsistencies.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1507.01663v2","authors":["Hengfeng Wei","Yu Huang","Jiannong Cao","Jian Lu"],"tags":["cs.DC","cs.DB"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2015-07-07T03:22:32Z","doi":"","addedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T05:58:55.311Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2208.07067v1","name":"Fair Incentivization of Bandwidth Sharing in Decentralized Storage Networks","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Peer-to-peer (p2p) networks are not independent of their peers, and the network efficiency depends on peers contributing resources.

We present here observations of the symbiotic star candidate IPHAS J205836.43+503307.2. The optical spectrum shows the combination of a number of emission lines, among which are the high-excitation species of [OIII], HeII, [Ca V], and [Fe VII], and a red continuum with the features of a star at the cool end of the carbon star sequence. The nebular component is spatially resolved: the analysis of the spatial profile of the [NII]6583 line in the spectrum indicates a linear size of ~2.5 arcsec along the east-west direction. Its velocity structure suggests an aspherical morphology. The near-infrared excess of the source, which was especially strong in 1999, indicated that a thick circumstellar dust shell was also present in the system. The carbon star has brightened in the last decade by two to four magnitudes at red and near-infrared wavelengths. Photometric monitoring during a period of 60 days from November 2010 to January 2011 reveals a slow luminosity decrease of 0.2 magnitudes.

Charging or cycling reduce the electrode modulus and strength due to a decrease in CNT bundle volume fraction caused by swelling; the electrode capacitance also decreases due to a reduction in PANI mass. A micromechanical model is able to predict the stress-strain response of pre-charged and cycled electrodes, based upon their measured composition after pre-charging and cycling. The electrodes possess up to 63% of their theoretical capacitance, and their tensile strengths are comparable to those of engineering alloys. Their capacitance and strength decrease by less than 15% after the application of 1000 charge/discharge cycles.

In order to improve the mass resolving power while preserving the acceptance of the storage ring, the IMS with two Time-Of-Flight (TOF) detectors has been implemented at the storage ring CSRe in Lanzhou, China. Additional velocity information beside the revolution time in the ring can be obtained for each of the stored ions by using the double TOF detector system. In this paper, we introduced a new method of using a 658 nm laser range finder and a short-pulsed ultra-violet laser to directly measure the distance and time delay difference between the two TOF detectors which were installed inside the $10^{-11}$ mbar vacuum chambers. The results showed that the distance between the two ultra-thin carbon foils of the two TOF detectors was ranging from 18032.5 mm to 18035.0 mm over a measurable area of 20$\\times$20 mm$^2$. Given the measured distance, the time delay difference which comes with signal cable length difference between the two TOF detectors was measured to be $Δt_{delay1-2}=99$(26) ps.

Organic carbon compounds are essential building blocks of terrestrial life, so the occurrence and origin (biotic or abiotic) of organic compounds on Mars is of great significance; however, not all forms of reduced carbon are conducive to biological systems. This paper discusses the significance of reduced organic carbon (including methane) in Martian geological and astrobiological systems. Specifically, it summarizes current thinking on the nature, sources, and sinks of Martian organic carbon, a key component to Martian habitability. Based on this compilation, reduced organic carbon on Mars, including detections of methane in the Martian atmosphere, is best described through a combination of abiotic organic synthesis on Mars and infall of extraterrestrial carbonaceous material. Although conclusive signs of Martian life have yet to be revealed, we have developed a strategy for life detection on Mars that can be utilized in future life‐detection studies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/maps.12670","authors":["A.

Carbon dioxide from several gas fields with a CO2 content of 1–10% is removed from the production stream to meet the export specification of 0.3% CO2. It is re-injected it into a 20 m thick fractured sandstone formation down-dip of the Krechba producing field at a depth of around 1850 m. There are currently three horizontal injectors at Krechba, injecting up to 50 mmscfd of CO2 and drilled perpendicular to the dominant fracture orientation to maximize injection capacity. Over the life of the project it is planned to store up to 17 million tonnes of CO2–to date, just over 3 million tonnes of CO2 have been injected. A Joint Industry Project (JIP) was set up in 2005 to monitor the CO2 storage process using a variety of geochemical, geophysical and production techniques over a 5 year period. A pre-injection risk register was prepared as part of the initial assessment of the injection site which was used to design the original monitoring programme. Key risks identified included leakage from old wellbores and possible vertical leakage through the overburden. Four years after injection start up, a quantitative risk assessment was undertaken which identified wellbore integrity and potential migration of CO2 out of the licensed storage area as the key risks which resulted in further changes to the forward monitoring programme. A data collection programme was initiated prior to the start of injection in August 2004. A number of monitoring technology reviews have been conducted over the last 5 years using detailed modeling and a Boston Square which has been invaluable in comparing the relative cost and value of quite diverse technologies. To date, with the exception of the CO2 encountered in the old KB-5 appraisal well (now fully decommissioned), there has been no indication of any CO2 moving out of the storage complex (comprising the injection zone and the immediate overburden). The suite of technologies to be deployed at any CO2 storage site for monitoring and verification purposes is readily available and uses mainly standard oilfield techniques and practices. However, each site will require a site specific suite of cost effective and focused technologies to provide the maximum benefit–there is no “cookie cutter” approach when it comes to designing a Monitoring and Verification programme. Our experience at Krechba to date is only in the early phases of a programme which could extend for 20 years and our key conclusions from the first 5 years of monitoring will be presented.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2011.02.289","authors":["Allan Mathieson","John Midgely","Iain Wright","N.

All geological structures are naturally spatial heterogeneity, which can significantly affect fluid flow and heat transfer, thereby affecting CO 2 storage. We modeled fluid flow and heat transfer in 12 CO 2 storage scenarios with spatially heterogeneous reservoirs using a thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) coupled model of a 3D wellbore-reservoir system. CO 2 injectability and distribution uniformity were studied in relation to reservoir vertical heterogeneity and interlayers. The optimization method of engineering parameters is discussed. Positive rhythm reservoirs exhibit more uniform CO 2 distribution laterally under gravity than reverse rhythm reservoirs. In high permeability ratio reservoirs, the low-temperature zone has a longer transfer distance and CO 2 is more likely to be injected, but channeling is prone to occur. Reservoir porosity has little effect on reservoir CO 2 injectability and temperature distribution. The interlayers will weaken the influence of gravity and reduce the CO 2 injectability while providing additional storage volume. Injecting CO 2 at a lower temperature and mass flow will increase injectability. The uniform distribution of CO 2 laterals is most effectively improved by hydraulic fracturing. Using low thermal conductivity materials for the wellbore insulation to reduce heat replenishment from the surrounding formation is critical.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.3c02784","authors":["Xinyuan Gao","Shenglai Yang","Bin Shen","Lerao Tian","Shuai Li","Xing Zhang","Jiatong Wang"],"tags":["Heat transfer","Porosity","Permeability (electromagnetism)","Petroleum engineering","Carbon dioxide"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2023-09-18","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.3c02784","addedAt":"2026-09-01T10:59:23.899Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T10:59:23.899Z"},{"id":"oa:W4281562269","name":"Economic Feasibility Study of a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Integration Project in an Oil-Driven Economy: The Case of the State of Kuwait","source":"openalex","abstract":"The rapid growth and urbanization rate, coupled with hot climate and scarce rainfall, makes it essential for a country like Kuwait to have several power and desalination plants with high-generating capacity. These plants are entirely reliant on burning fossil fuels as a source of thermal energy. These plants are also universally accepted to be the largest CO2 emitters; hence, they present a potential for carbon capture and storage (CCS). Having established the suitability of the existing conditions for post-combustion CCS, a techno-economic-based feasibility study, which took into consideration local power generation technologies and economic conditions, was performed. Relying on fifteen case study models and utilizing the concept of levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), the statistical average method (SAM) was used to assess CCS based on realistic and reliable economic indicators. Zour power station, offering the highest potential CO2 stream, was selected as a good candidate for the analysis at hand. Heavy fuel oil (HFO) was assumed to be the only fuel type used at this station with affixed price of USD 20/barrel. The analysis shows that the internal rate of return (IRR) was about 7%, which could be attributed to fuel prices in Kuwait and governmental support, i.e., waived construction tax and subsidized workforce salaries. Furthermore, the net present value (NPV) was also estimated as USD 47,928 million with a 13-year payback period (PBP). Moreover, 1–3% reductions in the annual operational cost were reflected in increasing the IRR and the NPV to 9–11% and USD 104,085–193,945 million, respectively, and decreasing the PBP to 12–11 years. On the contrary, increasing the annual operational cost by 1% made the project economically unfeasible, while an increase of 3% resulted in negative IRR (−1%), NVP (−USD 185,458 million) and increased PBP to 30 years. Similarly, increasing the HFO barrel price by USD 5 resulted in negative IRR (−10%) and NVP (−USD 590,409); hence, a CCS project was deemed economically unfeasible. While the study considered the conditions in Kuwait, it is expected that similar results could be obtained for other countries with an oil-driven economy. Considering that around 62% of the fossil fuel blend in Kuwait is consumed by electricity and water generation, it is inevitable to consider the possibility and practicality of having a carbon network with neighboring countries where other oil-driven economies, such as Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Iraq, can utilize a CCS-based mega infrastructure in Kuwait. The choice of Kuwait is also logical due to being a mid-point between both countries and can initiate a trading scheme in oil derivatives with both countries.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph19116490","authors":["Adel Naseeb","Ashraf Ramadan","S.M.

However, the full CCS of flue gas displays a strong coupling between lean and rich liquor as carbon dioxide liquid absorbents. Its integration into IESs with a high penetration level of renewables results in insufficient flexibility and renewable curtailment. In addition, integrating split-flow CCS of flue gas facilitates a short capture time, giving priority to renewable energy. To address these limitations, this paper develops a carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) method, into which storage tanks for lean and rich liquor and a two-stage power-to-gas (P2G) system with multiple utilizations of hydrogen including a fuel cell and a hydrogen-blended CHP unit are introduced. The CCUS is integrated into an IES to build an electricity–heat–hydrogen–gas IES. Accordingly, a deep low-carbon economic optimization strategy for this IES, which considers stepwise carbon trading, coal consumption, renewable curtailment penalties, and gas purchasing costs, is proposed. The effects of CCUS, the two-stage P2G system, and stepwise carbon trading on the performance of this IES are analyzed through a case-comparative analysis. The results show that the proposed method allows for a significant reduction in both carbon emissions and total operational costs. It outperforms the IES without CCUS with an 8.8% cost reduction and a 70.11% reduction in carbon emissions. Compared to the IES integrating full CCS, the proposed method yields reductions of 6.5% in costs and 24.7% in emissions. Furthermore, the addition of a two-stage P2G system with multiple utilizations of hydrogen further amplifies these benefits, cutting costs by 13.97% and emissions by 12.32%.

One of the most important challenges to the widespread implementation of CCS is the cost and energy associated with the separation of CO 2 from flue gas. Aqueous amines and ammonia are being demonstrated by several groups for CO 2 capture in a temperature swing cyclic process. Solid sorbents can also be used in a similar temperature swing process, but have the potential to reduce the overall costs related to CO 2 capture by reducing the energy required to release the CO 2 during material regeneration due to less evaporation of water and lower specific heat capacity. In addition, laboratory experiments conducted to date have demonstrated that a greater CO 2 working capacity (defined as the difference between the CO 2 loading at adsorption conditions and CO 2 loading at regeneration conditions) can be achieved versus those reported for aqueous monoethanol amine (MEA) temperature swing systems, using commercially available sorbents. However, such CO 2 working capacities on dry sorbents have yet to be demonstrated beyond the lab- and bench-scale. Therefore, while most development efforts are directed toward sorbent development, ADA Environmental Solutions (ADA) has focused on development and demonstration of the related process and equipment. Several different reactors utilized for gas/solids contacting were considered by ADA for the CO 2 adsorption and sorbent regeneration. The reactors evaluated included: fixed beds, transport reactors, moving beds, trickle down reactors, and staged fluidized beds. Working with engineers from Shaw Energy & Chemicals (now part of Technip, a world leader in project management, engineering, and construction for the energy industry), ADA selected staged fluidized beds for adsorption and a single fluidized bed for regenerating the sorbent; this decision was mainly based on optimizing heat transfer in the system.

This work, inspired by vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB), introduces an integrated electrochemical process for carbon capture and energy storage. It utilizes established vanadium and ferricyanide redox couples for pH modulation for CO 2 desorption and absorbent regeneration. The developed process consumes electricity during the daytime─when renewable electricity is available─to desorb CO 2 and charge the cell, and it can regenerate the absorbent for further CO 2 absorption while releasing electricity to the grid during nighttime when solar power is unavailable. This research explores the process fundamentals and scalability potential, through an extensive study of the system’s thermodynamics, transport phenomena, kinetics, and bench-scale operations. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was utilized to study the thermodynamics of the process, mapping the redox profiles to identify ideal potential windows for operation. The CV results indicated that an overpotential of approximately 0.3 V was required for driving redox reactions. Additionally, polarization studies were conducted to select the practical operating potential, identifying 0.5 V as optimal for the CO 2 desorption cycle to provide sufficient polarity to overcome activation barriers in addition to the Nernstian potential. Mass transfer analysis balanced conductivity and desorption efficiency, with a 1:1 ratio identified as optimal for redox-active species and background electrolyte concentration. To further enhance the kinetics of the redox reactions, plasma treatment of electrode surfaces was implemented, resulting in a 43% decrease in charge transfer resistance, as measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis. Finally, a bench-scale operation of the system demonstrated an energy consumption of 54 kJ/mol CO 2, which is competitive with other electrochemical carbon capture technologies. Besides its energy competitiveness, the process offers multiple additional advantages, including the elimination of precious metal electrodes, oxygen insensitivity in flue gas, scalability inspired by VRFB technology, and the unique ability to function as a battery during the absorbent regeneration process, enabling efficient day-night operation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsestengg.4c00631","authors":["Mohsen Afshari","Abdelrahman Refaie","Prince Aleta","Ahmad Hassan","Mohammad Rahimi"],"tags":["Vanadium","Redox","Energy storage","Process (computing)","Carbon fibers"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-29","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsestengg.4c00631","addedAt":"2026-09-01T10:59:23.899Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T10:59:23.899Z"},{"id":"oa:W4400370369","name":"Al-doped Li4SiO4 for cyclic solar energy storage and CO2 capture: An experimental and DFT study","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seppur.2024.128621","authors":["Ruicheng Fu","Bin Xu","Jianchen Yi","Yingchao Hu"],"tags":["Doping","Energy storage","Materials science","Chemical engineering","Environmental science"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["carbon-neutral"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seppur.2024.128621","addedAt":"2026-09-01T10:59:23.899Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-01T10:59:23.899Z"},{"id":"oa:W3203032861","name":"A review on disposal and utilization of phytoremediation plants containing heavy metals","source":"openalex","abstract":"The reasonable disposal of plant biomass containing heavy metals (HMs) is a difficult problem for the phytoremediation technology.
