Abstract

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors-in-Chief.

Concerns were raised regarding the authors’ claim of applying the Brazilian Land Use and Energy Systems (BLUES) model. The complaint, submitted by the developers of the BLUES model, indicated that the model is not open source, and that the article cited unrelated sources to support its use. Moreover, an analysis of the content revealed substantial textual similarity with a previously published article: Repurposing, co-processing and greenhouse gas mitigation – The Brazilian refining sector under deep decarbonization scenarios: A case study using integrated assessment modeling (Energy, 2023), without proper citation or attribution.

The corresponding author was contacted on March 25, 2025, and invited to provide a response within 30 days. However, no response was received by the deadline.
