Chlorella vulgaris biorefineries: sustainable biofuels and high‐value carbon capture

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Global reliance on fossil fuels has created urgent economic and environmental challenges, yet large‐scale use of algal biomass remains limited by production costs. Industrial scaling is constrained by inefficient harvesting and the technical challenges of processing recalcitrant cell walls.

Shifting burdens: how delayed decarbonisation of road transport affects other sectoral emission reductions

Environmental Research Letters
In 2022, fuel combustion in road transport accounted for approximately 21% (760 million tonnes) of CO _2 emissions in the European Union (EU). Transport is the only sector with rising emissions, with an increase of 24% compared to 1990.

Simulating competition in the US bioeconomy to produce hard‐to‐electrify transportation fuels using limited biomass resources

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a novel bioeconomy optimization framework, BiOpt, designed to address critical questions regarding the strategic use of limited US biomass resources for biofuel production. By integrating detailed techno‐economic analyses, life cycle assessments, and resource assessment data, BiOpt optimizes resource distributions across ...

Harnessing plant‐based platform for low‐cost cellulosic sugar recovery from bioenergy crops

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The price of pure cellulase enzyme for the recovery of fermentable cellulosic sugars is one of the major challenges that limit the commercialization of second‐generation biofuels and bio‐based products. This work shows a means to greatly reduce the cost of cellulases. The abundant capacity of plants to synthesize and hyperaccumulate transgenic

Strategic Innovation for Sustainability: A Conceptual Model Linking Digitalization, Social Dynamics, and Climate Change Mitigation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses a significant research gap in the literature by systematically reviewing and synthesizing the interplay between social dynamics, environmental changes, and organizational innovation. Although prior research has explored these dimensions in isolation, the integrative framework remains lacking.

Climate Change Mitigation Takes the Lead: EU Taxonomy‐Aligned and Eligible Activities in Relation to Debt Financing

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assesses the degree of alignment with and eligibility to the EU Taxonomy of non‐financial firms and investigates its relationship with their Cost of Debt (CoD). The empirical analysis is based on a sample of 306 non‐financial firms listed on the Stoxx Europe 600 Index across 15 European countries. Taxonomy‐related data were manually
