Investigating the merits of co-locating renewable energy with steel production to decarbonize the iron industry
Co-locating hydrogen-direct reduced iron and electric arc furnace facilities with solar photovoltaic (PV) farms can save energy, land use, and water. It illustrates the importance of aligning industrial decarbonization with geospatial planning and infrastructure development to minimize the environmental impacts of global supply chains.

Prevalence of plastic waste as a household fuel in low-income communities of the Global South - Nature Communications
This study surveyed key informants across 26 countries on burning plastic for waste management and energy needs. It finds high awareness of this practice, with potential drivers including inadequate waste collection and a lack of affordable fuels.
