Decarbonizing the cold chain is a priority for sustainability due to the increasing demand for chilled/frozen food and pharmaceutics. Refrigerated transport requires additional fuel for refrigeration other than for traction. Photovoltaic panels on th...
Despite their importance in all transportation chains, logistical sites—and in particular refrigerated facilities—are the weakest link in current emissions literature. This is largely due to a lack of quantitative research that focuses on...
This study addresses a critical policy paradox in transport infrastructure planning: the necessity for substantial decarbonization investments amid declining freight demand forecasts in less developed territories. Despite reduced demand, such investm...
To achieve deep decarbonization in the transportation sector, this study employs life cycle assessment (LCA) and the GREET model to construct baseline and low-carbon scenarios. It simulates the evolution of emissions and energy consumption within Inn...
This study compares two policy instruments for decarbonizing China’s seafood exports to the EU and UK over 10 years using a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium model. One instrument applies tariff-like carbon surcharges on embedded...
Reduced energy use and increased energy efficiency are essential for decarbonization and sustainable development. The food cold chain is a crucial infrastructure with high energy consumption and rising demand. A careful selection of technology used i...
Decarbonizing heavy-duty freight transport is essential for achieving climate neutrality targets. Although internal combustion engine (ICE) trucks currently dominate logistics, they contribute substantially to greenhouse gas emissions. Zero-emission...
The path towards decarbonization requires a progressive adaptation of all refrigeration systems, but only stationary ones have been intensely studied to improve their environmental performance. However, refrigerated transport is vital in the cold cha...
High-stakes logistics, defined as supply chains where delays, quality loss, or noncompliance have serious human, safety, financial, or geopolitical consequences, are a prominent case of a broader reality: global supply chains are safety-, cost-, and...
Sustainable aviation fuel is among the most practical near-term routes for aviation decarbonization because it can be used in existing aircraft, engines, and airport fuel systems with limited infrastructure changes while minimizing disruption to the...
To mitigate the environmental footprint of the aviation sector, this study proposes an integrated cascading biorefinery scheme to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) precursor bloodstock via enzymatic transesterification of coconut oil. Utilizing...
The global pasta industry is increasingly challenged to reconcile consumer demand for convenience with the need to reduce environmental impacts across the food supply chain. This study presents a cradle-to-grave Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)...
