Industrial decarbonization via natural gas: A critical and systematic review of developments, socio-technical systems and policy options

Decarbonizing the pulp and paper industry: A critical and systematic review of sociotechnical developments and policy options

“…We nevertheless encourage researchers to include them in future research since these are also prominent databases with qualitycontrolled journals. Our search terms for String 1 and 2 were selected based on previous studies conducted by the authoring team (see for example [44,45,85,86,95,96]). Whereas the search terms for String (topical area) were selected after examining relevant abstracts and articles for alternative subject phrases and words.…”

Hybrid Machine Learning-Mathematical Programming Approach for Optimizing Gas Production and Water Management in Shale Gas Fields

“…1,2 In addition to its abundant reserves, natural gas releases lower amounts of greenhouse gas emissions in comparison with the rest of the fossil fuels. 3,4 Shale gas is a type of unconventional natural gas that can be an effective complement for renewable energies toward a sustainable energy transition. 5,6 Moreover, shale gas is abundant worldwide with a recoverable resource quantity equal to 7257 Tcf as well as relatively low exploitation costs.…”

“…The use of natural gas is a major option for satisfying the global needs for energy and feedstocks. , In addition to its abundant reserves, natural gas releases lower amounts of greenhouse gas emissions in comparison with the rest of the fossil fuels. , Shale gas is a type of unconventional natural gas that can be an effective complement for renewable energies toward a sustainable energy transition. , Moreover, shale gas is abundant worldwide with a recoverable resource quantity equal to 7257 Tcf as well as relatively low exploitation costs . The main innovations that have achieved efficient large-scale exploitation of shale gas are horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing (fracking), fracture proppant to maintain fluid conductivity in fractures during production and the development of hydraulic fracturing fluids that drive proppant particles into fractures (prevent microbial growth and minimize formation damage). − One of the primary disadvantages of hydraulic fracturing is that it requires enormous amounts of freshwater and produces highly polluted flowback water streams, which may lead to the contamination of surface water and groundwater. , …”

Sustainability Analysis of an LNG Bunkering Protocol

“…Its share of emissions is expected to increase to 17% by 2050. 1,2 Therefore, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) aims to decarbonize shipping completely by 2050. 3 To this end, the maritime industry is seeking lowcarbon or zero-carbon alternatives (e.g., natural gas, biodiesel, ammonia, hydrogen, batteries) to the conventional Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO).…”
