The path to net zero for the fashion industry -- Fashion in the 21st century -- Introducing energy : time to understand "scope 3" manufacturing emissions -- Tier 4: Low GHG materials selection -- Tier 2: Lowering energy consumption in dyeing, printing and finishing -- Tier 1: Going After the...

Residential buildings strongly contribute to global CO2 emissions due to the high energy demand for electricity and heating, particularly in industrialised countries. Within the EU, decentralised heat generation is of particular relevance for future climate policy, as its emissions are not...

Summary This paper analyzes energy use and CO 2 emissions of more than 78 000 German industrial plants between 1995 and 2006. It is the first study to exploit exceptionally rich energy data that were recently matched to official micro datasets. We document that both energy use and intensity are...

This thesis investigates the energy performance of resorts in Egypt. The expansive tourism development results in higher demands of energy whilst increasing the burden on the country’s economy. The objective is to evaluate solar resorts versus the conventional design in terms of energy,...

This article examines the rate at which different households go green and how this affects the distribution of both wealth and CO2 benefits. Using a unique dataset from the Netherlands, we find that lower-income households are less likely to make their homes more energy efficient. At the same...
