Low‐Carbon Energy Transition and Corporate Carbon Emissions: The Critical Role of Climate Change Mitigation Policies and Institutional Context

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the strategic efficacy of corporate low‐carbon energy transition, such as through nuclear energy adoption, as a response to decarbonization pressures. Analyzing an international sample of energy firms, we demonstrate that the relationship between this form of transition and emission reductions is not technologically ...

Leader–Member Exchange, Compliance and Sustainability Performance in Carbon‐Market Governance: A Global South Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how Leader–Member Exchange quality shapes engagement, compliance, and sustainability performance within Uganda's emerging carbon‐trading market, adopting LMX theory to sustainability governance in a Global South context. A cross‐sectional survey of 206 carbon‐market participants in Uganda measured LMX quality, environmental

Modeling the Electricity Generation Processes of a Combined Solar and Small Hydropower Plant

Energies
This article proposes the concept of an integrated system consisting of two components: a small hydropower plant (SHPP) and a solar power plant (SPP), where the SHPP operates as a pumped-storage hydropower plant, and the SPP supplies energy for lifting ...

How Circular Innovation Is Learned: A Process Study of Modularity‐Based Initiatives in Industrial Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular innovation (CI) research has identified a wide range of circular strategies and design approaches, yet offers limited insight into how CI evolves as a learning process within firms and which governance mechanisms guide this progression. Drawing on organizational learning (OL), this study examines how exploration and exploitation shape

Measuring Corporate Energy Transition Through Web‐Based Evidence and Large Language Models

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a scalable method to measure firm‐level engagement with the energy transition using corporate website disclosures and large language models (LLMs). We construct a restrictive, policy‐aligned rubric that codes evidence of (i) energy efficiency improvements, (ii) decarbonization and emissions‐reduction strategies, and (iii ...

Capacity planning of hydro-wind-solar hybrid power systems considering hydropower forbidden zones

Global Energy Interconnection
In the capacity planning of hydro-wind-solar power systems (CPHPS), it is crucial to use flexible hydropower to complement the variable wind-solar power. Hydropower units must be operated such that they avoid specific restricted operation zones, that is,
