This research aims to evaluate the economic feasibility of hydrogen transportation in Greenland, focusing on compressed gas via pipelines and liquefied hydrogen via maritime routes. The study employs a comprehensive methodology that includes economic analysis of production, liquefaction, and transportation costs. This approach integrates a wide range of methods available in the literature and considers various components of the hydrogen supply chain, going beyond the typical focus on transportation strategies alone. Results indicate that pipelines are more cost-effective for shorter distances (<1,500 km) and higher demand, whereas shipping is better suited for longer distances and larger volumes. A case study of transporting hydrogen from Paamuit to Nuuk revealed that for a production capacity of 40 t/d, the cost of pipeline transport was 1.3 USD/kg, whereas for shipping it was 2.7 USD/kg. These findings contribute significantly to the development of a hydrogen economy and highlight Greenland's potential as a competitive player in the global green hydrogen market. The research provides valuable insights for decision-makers in planning efficient and economical hydrogen transportation strategies. Læs mere

The continuous melt of the Greenland ice sheet due to climate change and the resultant environmental impact in the arctic is pressuring the fishing industry to adapt to a new environment. This chapter sheds light on how major stakeholders in the Greenlandic fishing industry envision environmental, economic, and social adaptation of fisheries and their overall supply chain operations. Using a qualitative methodology based on a series of semi-structured interviews with relevant stakeholders in the Greenlandic fishery, the chapter illustrates how the adaptive capacity of the industry has unfolded in recent years, and how it has begun to generate relevant adaptive capabilities. It explores how adaptive capacity in Greenland may facilitate a clearer path for the consolidation of sustainable supply chain management. The analysis ultimately seeks to understand how the Greenlandic fishing industry has perceived the integration of the international best practices incorporating the three pillars of sustainability to develop a sustainable supply chain management. The findings suggest that the maritime logistic operations of Greenland’s fisheries are slowly moving towards sustainability despite key trade-offs among stakeholders associated with the social dimension that involves the promotion of employment stability and the inclusion of local knowledge.

The long-term productivity dynamics of Latin America have been the focus of vast research looking to understand the origins of the growth underperformance of the region.

Based on new estimates from official industrial censuses from 1935 to 1975, this paper reassesses whether there was a process of structural change within the manufacturing industries of Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil. It presents a quantitative reassessment of the dynamics of productivity in these industries providing a new decomposition of labor productivity growth at a more disaggregated level. The overall results from a shift-share analysis are unable to find substantial evidence of structural change within manufacturing in these countries over the period. Læs mere
