Mobilizing mine lands for biobased decarbonization strategies

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Over 163 000 ha of mine lands in Pennsylvania (PA) have the potential to produce willow as a feedstock for renewable energy generation. Each year these lands could produce between 454 000 and 907 000 dry Mg of willow, which can be a feedstock for bioenergy (i.e., biopower) with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) or sustainable aviation ...

Environmental Sustainability and Business Profitability: Profiling Winners and Losers With Machine Learning

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We utilize a rich dataset of manufacturing firms to investigate the heterogeneous effects of ISO 14001 on the financial performance of certified firms. We employ machine learning techniques, specifically causal tree and causal forest, to uncover these effects. Our findings reveal consistently positive average effects of ISO 14001 certification
