The advantages of and barriers to being smart in a smart city: The perceptions of project managers within a smart city cluster project in Greater Copenhagen

Thomas Bjorner

Summary: This study examines the complexity, advantages, and barriers perceived by smart city project managers in an ongoing project, as well as proposes a definition for smart city projects. The results indicate that regulations, information silos, and stakeholder choices are major barriers to smart city implementation, while the diverse perspectives and knowledge of stakeholders are seen as major advantages.

Assessing impacts of responsible sourcing initiatives for cobalt: Insights from a case study

Lucia Mancini et al.

Summary: Cobalt is a crucial material in lithium-ion batteries, used in e-mobility and electronics. Concerns about human rights abuses, child labor, and tragic working conditions in countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo have led to the launch of responsible sourcing programs for cobalt. This study focuses on artisanal mining in the DRC, comparing two pilot projects and discussing lessons learned for assessment, monitoring, and policy implications.

Circularity potential of rare earths for sustainable mobility: Recent developments, challenges and future prospects

Luca Silvestri et al.

Summary: The study assessed the circularity potential of REEs in the vehicle batteries industry in Europe and investigated the potential of a closed-loop recycling system. Results show that current recovery technology and policies can reduce future demand for REEs, high collection and recovery rates can help counter uncertainties in REEs supply chain, and REEs recovery is crucial for ensuring economic sustainability of the recycling process.

Ensuring sustainable development of urban public transport: A case study of the trolleybus system in Gdynia and Sopot (Poland)

Marcin Wolek et al.

Summary: The study examines the influence factors on the development of trolleybus systems based on the case study of Polish cities. The analysis of in-motion charging technology provides a new framework for trolleybus development. Using an economic model, the study evaluates the total lifecycle costs of trolleybuses and finds that trolleybus transport becomes economically efficient after considering external costs.

The challenge of forecasting the role of biofuel in EU transport decarbonisation at 2050: A meta-analysis review of published scenarios

David Chiaramonti et al.

Summary: The European New Green Deal and the REDII have set ambitious targets to achieve a climate-neutral Europe by 2050, with a particular focus on the transport sector for decarbonization. Various stakeholders have elaborated scenarios on biofuels market penetration by 2050, which are used by policy makers to evaluate the future development of the sector. Biofuels are expected to significantly contribute to reducing Total Fuel Consumption in Europe by 2030 and 2050, with a shift towards advanced feedstock. Previous published scenarios may face challenges due to the uncertain effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and investment decisions in the energy sector.
