Decarbonizing the building sector requires integrating on-site renewable generation with systematic energy management. Among the most widely adopted alternatives are photovoltaic (PV) systems in buildings; however, they are often implemented as a sta...
Environmental implications of resource dependence remain a central concern for hydrocarbon-based economies undergoing energy transition. Using panel data for GCC countries over 1990–2024 and second-generation econometric techniques that account...
The rapid growth of battery energy storage and electric vehicles has increased lithium demand and intensified the attention given to the environmental performance of alternative extraction pathways. Conventional life cycle assessments (LCA) of lithiu...
Sustainable fertilization strategies are required to reduce dependence on synthetic inputs, enhance waste recycling, and improve agricultural resilience under climate change. This study evaluates the effects of wastewater-derived sludge, particularly...
Although geopolymer and alkali-activated binders are promoted as low-carbon OPC alternatives, their resource-centric performance remains complex and geographically dependent. This review examines these systems from a resource-efficiency perspective a...
Purpose: This study examines the asymmetric effects of economic growth, energy consumption, renewable energy, trade openness, and innovation on CO2 emissions in China and India. It aims to determine whether positive and negative shocks in these varia...
This study examines the economics of blue and green hydrogen as feedstock for large industrial facilities in Southeast Asia. To understand how industries can adopt low-emission and renewable hydrogen, the levelised costs of blue and green hydrogen ar...
Natural resources play a fundamental role in ensuring global food security, while agricultural production itself strongly influences their demand, extraction, and availability. This article discusses natural strategies for increasing crop productivit...
Despite relatively low per capita rice consumption in the European Union (EU), averaging approximately 9 kg annually between 2010 and 2023, imports from Asian countries have shown a sustained upward trend since 2013. This study assessed hazards assoc...
This study examines the dynamic interlinkages among energy, food, and metal commodity markets under geopolitical tensions using daily data from January 2022 to July 2025. The empirical framework integrates correlation analysis, Granger causality test...
Coal resource exploitation may alter hydrogeological conditions and influence the occurrence and migration of coal-derived organic contaminants in mining regions. Among these contaminants, naphthenic acids (NAs) have received increasing attention, wh...
