Towards social Life Cycle Assessment of Energy Systems: a case study on offshore wind farms from companies’ perspective [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 Within the energy transition context, private and public decision-makers must choose between different energy scenarios. Hence, environmental, and social impacts incurred from the development of renewable energies need to be investigated to ensure their ...

Patterns and Variation of Littoral Habitat Size Among Lakes
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 The littoral zone varies in size among lakes from ∼3% to 100% of lake surface area. In this paper, we derive a simple theoretical scaling relationship that explains this variation, and test this theory using bathymetric data across the size spectra of ...

The Impact of Impact Investing
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021 We evaluate the quantitative impact of ESG divestitures. For divestitures to have impact they must change the cost of capital of affected firms. We derive a simple expression for the change in the cost of capital as a function of three inputs: (1) the fraction of socially conscious capital, (2) the fraction of targeted firms in the economy and (3) the ...

Which variables are essential for renewable energies?
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2020 Essential Variables are defined as a minimal set of variables that explain the state of the system. They are crucial for predicting its developments, and support metrics that measure its evolution. The variables should be relevant to meet requirements of
