An Economic and Environmental Assessment of High-Temperature Technologies in the Energy Transition: A Cross-Country Study of Divergent ESG Strategies

Abstract: The paper presents a comparative economic and environmental assessment of high-temperature steam turbine technologies (subcritical, supercritical, ultra-supercritical, and advanced ultra-supercritical cycles) within the energy transition. The research employs a model-based analysis to evaluate the cost of electricity production across countries with divergent environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies, reflected in their carbon pricing mechanisms….

The role of microalgae in modern technologies for carbon dioxide fixation and utilization

Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive analytical review of current technologies for carbon dioxide (CO₂) fixation and utilization, with a particular focus on the application of microalgae as a biological tool for mitigating industrial emissions and contributing to hydrogen energy systems. The aim is to identify optimal cultivation parameters that enhance CO₂ absorption efficiency and…

Role of low-carbon technologies in lowering industrial energy intensity in Russia: methodological approach and projection

Abstract:Relevance. Long-term energy demand projection has been for years an essential task facing researchers. The complexity involved in making such projection is due to the ever-growing uncertainty and variability of the factors and trends shaping this demand. The present study is a relevant contribution to the literature because it addresses Russia transition to a low-carbon development…
