How Supply Networks Influence Sustainable Innovation: Evidence From Ghana's Public Works Procurement

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent environmental and sustainability standards in procurement increase short‐term production and operational costs to suppliers, which are often recouped by charging price premiums for innovative solutions. However, public buyers are less likely to pay such price premiums, resulting in a disincentive among suppliers to bid for innovation ...

Investigation of microalgal tolerance and growth in simulated tailings pond water containing naphthenic acids

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Oil sands tailings ponds, such as those in northeastern Alberta, present environmental challenges due to slow sedimentation, water entrapment, and toxic naphthenic acids (NAs), which hinder water reclamation. This study assessed the tolerance and biodegradation potential of Chlorella vulgaris (C.
