“…Unfortunately, the details of the various approaches are not available, as the actual models mapping firms' information from annual reports and other inputs to the Taxonomy are proprietary. Hence, it is impossible to understand how the data providers come to their detailed assessments of Taxonomy alignment and why they sometimes disagree substantially, as shown in Hoepner and Schneider (2022).…”

“…The taxonomy was also addressed in a study by Hoepner and Schneider (2022). They noted that the main purpose of the current taxonomy is to direct investment to those projects that best fit the definition of "sustainability".…”

“…The researchers argue, however, that such results are not a negative indicator in general, as they only show that the economy (and especially companies) are not yet fully prepared to move towards operating according to sustainability principles. In the future, the situation should change for the better if government authorities continue this policy [75].…”

Removing impurities that occur in landfill gas, from sulphur and silicon compounds, is crucial for the energetic use of biogas in a cogeneration unit for energy purposes. The aim of this study was to analyse the shaped activated carbon, examining its structure and elemental composition as part of the biogas purification. The qualitative study of the purified landfill gas performed in this study showed a significant overshoot of hydrogen sulphide at 304.1 ppm with respect to the gas engine manufacturer’s requirements, while the calculated hydrogen sulphide reduction efficiency was 24.58%. Examination of the surface of the spent carbon and its pores with a scanning microscope revealed a high level of clotting by sulphur compounds, which prevents proper reduction of this compound and reduces the efficiency of the treatment plant. Replacement of the activated carbon bed with a new one showed a hydrogen sulphide value of 7.5 ppm in the purified gas and a calculated reduction efficiency of 97.9%. The results of the study confirmed that continuous monitoring of the quality of the purified gas is necessary to control the adsorption properties of the activated carbon and can be used for the operation of gas engines in cogeneration units. The landfill gas treatment method described in this paper constitutes an environmentally sustainable project within the meaning of the EU regulation on the establishment of a framework to promote and facilitate this type of investment in terms of its financing and operation. The topic of the work fits into three key areas of broad research and implementation activities. The first, technological, is the transition to a low-carbon, sustainable and resource-efficient closed-loop economy; the second, environmental, pollution prevention and control. The third area is economics and finance in terms of making financial products available designed to reduce climate change and reporting on these activities.

“…This implies that the economic activity related to a specific code of the statistical classification of economic activities-Nomenclature of Economic Activities (NACE)-needs to be on the list of activities included within the DAs [8]. It is important to note that the EU taxonomy is a dynamic tool [26], subject to ongoing development, and therefore activities not currently included in the published DAs are not necessarily considered "brown" activities.…”

“…When focusing on the corporate context (searching "corporate EU taxonomy" within the title, abstract, and keywords, limiting the search to English-language articles from 2020, when the TR entered into force, and the keyword "corporate"), a mere six relevant hits were obtained, of which three were deemed irrelevant to the research question. From the remaining publications, two new studies were identified, yet neither specifically addressed the usability of the EU taxonomy criteria; one evaluated corporate compliance with the EU taxonomy in a first vendor study [26], while the other examined its effectiveness in transitioning to sustainable corporate governance [20]. The snowballing technique was employed to explore related publications by the same authors, revealing a focus on the effectiveness of the EU taxonomy in achieving the path to climate neutrality [5,14].…”

This study addresses the current and future mandatory reporting on taxonomy alignment for companies within the EU, examining the practical applicability of criteria outlined in the Climate Delegated Act. Focusing on the electrical manufacturing industry through a case study, a five-step method was developed to assess the usability of the sector-specific criteria. The results highlight the need for enhanced usability across all criteria and offer key recommendations for policy development. Particularly, the substantial contribution criteria for climate change mitigation relating to the “manufacture of other low-carbon technologies” and “data-driven solutions for GHG emissions reductions” were found to be impaired by usability issues. These results emphasize the relevance of investigating the activities assessed in this study when policymakers revise the current criteria. Finally, the study highlights the necessity for future implementation of assessments to prevent usability issues and provide a holistic picture of the status quo of the current EU taxonomy criteria.
