Circular Economy Pathways for Airport Climate Change Mitigation
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Airport operators face growing climate‐change pressures; the circular economy offers pathways to reduce impacts and recover resources. We examine how airport operators apply the circular economy in practice. We use an exploratory qualitative multicase design based on practitioner‐generated documents (e.g., press releases and sustainability ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many firms set ambitious sustainability goals but these are frequently “displaced” by proxy goals that are easier to track and measure. However, the specific types of goal conflicts that follow from this displacement are poorly understood. We conducted a case study of circular innovation initiatives at a global MedTech company and identified ...

Advancing Theory and Practice Concerning CO2e Emissions: A Time‐Based Tool for Organisations
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although organisations are increasingly scrutinised on their CO2e emissions, economic growth is frequently encouraged. Eco‐efficiency–based initiatives—‘doing more with less’—could be a solution. The problem is that many organisations (e.g., smaller enterprises without access to specialist knowledge) have difficulties in gauging the impact of ...

Beyond Furnaces: Harnessing In Situ Joule Heating for Efficient C1 Catalysis
Carbon Energy, EarlyView.Joule‐heated catalysis directly converts electrical energy into localized heat within conductive catalysts, overcoming the heat‐transfer limitations of conventional furnaces. This review summarizes recent advances in C1 molecule conversion, including CO2 methanation, reforming for hydrogen production, and HCHO/CO oxidation, while highlighting ...
