Location is a major barrier for transferring US fossil fuel employment to green jobs [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 The green energy revolution may displace 1.7 million fossil fuel workers in the US but a Just Transition to emerging green industry jobs offers possibilities for re-employing these workers.

Novel green hydrogen – Fossil fuel dehydrogenation [PDF]
Fundamental ResearchClimate change requires an immediate transition from fossil fuels to clean energy sources. Although hydrogen is considered a future energy source, over 90% of hydrogen is currently produced from fossil fuels, and large-scale renewable-fed hydrogen ...

A comparison of the climate and carbon cycle effects of carbon removal by afforestation and an equivalent reduction in fossil fuel emissions [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2023 Afforestation and reduction of fossil fuel emissions are two major components of climate mitigation policies. However, their effects on the Earth's climate are different because a reduction of fossil fuel emissions directly alters the biogeochemical ...
