Upgrade StorageHelp with Footnotes in a Citation Style not currently offered in Zotero Style Repository
Fellow Travelers:
My colleagues and I have been asked to revise a paper for submission to a European-based journal (Carbon and Climate Law Review).
Our paper was originally produced with in-line and bibliographic citations. The journal we're submitting to only uses footnotes. The required footnote format is not one which Zotero currently offers. Some samples of required format are pasted below my questions.
My questions:
1) Is there any other way besides CSL to alter an existing style or create a 'new' one? I know that I can use CSL to create my own style, but this is beyond my technical capacity. (I can either learn CSL or help get the paper revised, but not both.) I was able to do this back when I used one of those other citation software programs whose name shall not be mentioned here.
2) Does anyone recognize the format in the samples below? Is there an existing Zotero citation style close to it? (I also have an email into the journal editors about this.) I have to assume that it wasn't just created out of thin air.
Any help would be appreciated. Style samples pasted below.
Many thanks.

2) no, this is quite unusual, too. journal volume before title is quite rare. I've never seen the "at". Starting page for articles and chapters is used sometimes, but currently not possible with Zotero. There are some basic similarities to Chicago style, though.
Not sure the style is worth the request. It is fairly unusual and I have to assume that the "at" is some European thing.
I may just wind up using Chicago, exporting to a text file, reformatting citations and then pasting directly into my formal document. Not a very efficient work flow, but it should get the job done.
