Sustainability of green hydrogen technologies depends on energy mix and supply chain

Moein Shamoushaki, S. C. Lenny Koh · 13 Feb 2026

Abstract A sustainable international green hydrogen supply chain is crucial for achieving net-zero. Here, we performed a spatial-temporal prospective life cycle assessment of twenty international supply chain scenarios in 2023, 2030, 2040, and 2050 across five hydrogen production technologies (three based on water electrolysis and two on biomass conversion) in fourteen countries. The results underscore…

Why citizen science is now essential for official statistics

Dilek Fraisl, Linda See, Steve MacFeely et al. · 8 Jan 2026

The loss of major health surveys once backed by the United States Agency for International Development and proposed cuts to environmental programs threaten the tracking of sustainable development. Citizen science can and should be central to building stronger, more resilient data systems. The loss of major health surveys once backed by the United States Agency…

A systems reset for sustainable development

David Obura, Arun Agrawal, Michael Christie et al. · 8 Jan 2026

Abstract Although sustainable development is an agreed vision for all countries, it lacks theoretical grounding. The contemporary market-based economy maximizes flows of material from nature through the economy to society, amplifying trends away from sustainability. We provide an alternative conceptualization of sustainable development, based not only on the flow of contributions from nature to economic…

High-capture-rate carbon capture and storage enables cost-effective decarbonization of Europe’s power sector

Shamim Homaei, Rahul Anantharaman, Stian Backe et al. · 20 Feb 2026

Abstract Reducing reliance on fossil fuels is essential for achieving international climate goals, but an immediate phase-out can create economic and system reliability challenges. A transitional option is to equip fossil fuel power plants with carbon capture and storage to reduce emissions. Here, we use a numerical capacity expansion model of the European power sector…

Instant water quality index prediction via reaeration process and hydraulic parameters in the river system

Amin Arzhangi, Sadegh Partani, Ali Danandeh Mehr et al. · 28 Jan 2026

Abstract River ecosystems are increasingly impacted by human activities such as industrial development and agriculture, leading to shifts in water quality variables and threatening ecological sustainability. Here, we present a modeling approach that integrates reaeration processes with hydraulic parameters to improve prediction of the Water Quality Index in river systems. We developed a genetic programming…
