1. Biomass gasification potential for Slovenia’s green transition : e-mobilityNeja Hadžiselimović, Tjaž Hadžiselimović, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: In 2024, approximately fifty percent of the total kilometersdriven by passenger vehicles in Slovenia were attributed to diesel-powered automobiles, underscoring the persistent dependence of the transportation sector on fossil fuels, which are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. Research further substantiates that the transportation sector constitutes the nation's predominant source of greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, e-mobility emerges as a key strategy for Slovenia’s green transition in transportation. Additionally, biomassgasification represents a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy pathway that could support the country in achieving its environmental targets, while promoting the principles of the circular economy. Keywords: green transition, renewable energy, forest biomass, biomass gasification, e-mobility Published in DKUM: 29.09.2025; Views: 0; Downloads: 3

2. Knowledge supply chains : Enhancing wisdom of green and digital transitionMatevž Obrecht, Tina Cvahte Ojsteršek, Mateja Čuček, Martin Fale, Nena Orel Šanko, Polona Vičič, Bojana Slomšek Šlamberger, Lazar Pavić, 2025, scientific monograph Abstract: The scientific monograph presents the latest findings in the fields of sustainable development and digitalization and applies them to the management of logistics and supply chains. The theoretical part of the monograph opens with chapters that elucidate fundamental concepts in sustainable development, such as sustainable development goals, environmental policy, sustainable production and consumption, the sharing economy, the concept of degrowth and the economy of wellbeing. Next, it discusses the most recent trends in sustainability and the integration of digitalization, whereby the focus is on what is trending and what younger generations perceive as opportunities for priority development. The theoretical section concludes with the presentation of competency models for sustainability and digitalization and the introduction of lifelong learning as a tool for a faster acquisition of knowledge in the areas of sustainable development and digitalization. The latter has been proposed in response to the perceived lack of sustainability and digital skills among individuals who completed formal education at a time when sustainability and digitalization were peripheral topics inadequately integrated into education and the priorities of logistics and supply chains. The research part of the monograph begins by examining the incorporation of sustainable development into the existing legislative framework. Following this, the results of the analysis of the integration of sustainable and digital competencies into Slovenian higher education programmes are presented, along with the results of the analysis of their overlap. The key research output is information obtained from the results of a quantitative study identifying the essential knowledge, skills and abilities needed for the successful simultaneous green and digital transition to Society 5.0 in logistics and supply chains. Additionally, the perceived differences between the economic sector, students and academics in key priority areas are explored.

3. 38th Bled eConference: Empowering Transformation: Shaping Digital Futures for All : Conference Proceedings2025, proceedings Abstract: The Bled eConference, organised by the University of Maribor, Faculty of Organizational Sciences, has been shaping electronic interactions since 1988. The theme of the 38th conference is "Empowering transformation: Shaping digital futures for all". The central theme highlights the need for a digital transformation that is focused on the well-being of individuals and society as a whole. It emphasizes the importance of inclusive and sustainable development that enables equal participation of diverse stakeholders in shaping a digital future for all—one that is grounded in ethical, social, and sustainable principles. Within this framework, digital technologies are viewed as enablers for the transformation of existing systems and solutions in a human-centered way. The goal is to foster innovation, strengthen resilience, and promote long-term societal and economic progress. The papers in this conference proceedings explore a range of topics including the opportunities and challenges of the twin transition, emerging technologies, artificial intelligence and data science, decision analytics for business and societal changes, digital innovation and business models, restructured work and the future workplace, digital health, digital ethics, digital education, smart sustainable cities, digital consumers, and the digital transformation of the public sector. Keywords: resilience, digital transformation, digital innovation, twin transition, sustainability, digital transition, green transition, designing digital future Published in DKUM: 09.06.2025; Views: 0; Downloads: 34

6. Impacts of zero-emission powertrains based on hydrogen technologies in public transportNiko Natek, Boštjan Krajnc, 2020, original scientific article Abstract: This article reviews the development potentials and environmental impact of introducing category M3 vehicles (for passenger transport/buses) with fuel cell electric powertrains to an urban and inter-urban public transport service (PTS) to be operated in the Savinjsko-Šaleška region. The main focus is the demonstration of the PTS modelling and preliminary environmental impact assessment of the operation compared to conventional (modern) diesel-powered internal combustion engines.
