The impact of energy consumption and CO2 emission on the economic growth and financial development in the Sub Saharan African countries
Al-mulali, Usama; Sab, Binti Che; Normee, Che - In: Energy 39 (2012) 1, pp. 180-186
This study investigated the impact of energy consumption and CO2 emission on GDP (gross domestic product) growth and the financial development in thirty Sub Saharan African Countries. The panel model was used in this study from the period 1980 to 2008. The results showed that energy consumption...

Decomposition analysis and Innovative Accounting Approach for energy-related CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions intensity over 1996–2009 in Portugal
Robaina Alves, Margarita; Moutinho, Victor - In: Energy 57 (2013) C, pp. 775-787
‘Complete decomposition’ technique was used to examine CO2 emissions intensity and its components, considering 36 economic sectors and the 1996–2009 period. Additionally, Innovative Accounting Approach was implemented, that includes forecast error variance decomposition and impulse...

Convergence of carbon dioxide emissions in different sectors in China
Wang, Juan; Zhang, Kezhong - In: Energy 65 (2014) C, pp. 605-611
In this paper, we analyze differences in per capita carbon dioxide emissions from 1996 to 2010 in six sectors across 28 provinces in China and examine the σ-convergence, stochastic convergence and β-convergence of these emissions. We also investigate the factors that impact the convergence of...

Investigating the energy-environmental Kuznets curve
Luzzati, T.; Orsini, M. - In: Energy 34 (2009) 3, pp. 291-300
This paper investigates the relationship between absolute energy consumption and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita for 113 countries over the period 1971–2004. Energy has been scarcely explored in the Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) debate and is taken as the indicator of overall...

Attribution of changes in the generalized Fisher index with application to embodied emission studies
Su, Bin; Ang, B.W. - In: Energy 69 (2014) C, pp. 778-786
The Fisher index and its extensions have been used in multiplicative decomposition analysis applied to energy and emissions. In this study, we extend the concept of “additive decomposition of the Fisher index” in the national accounts and propose an attribution analysis of the generalized...

Pricing power outages in the Netherlands
Baarsma, Barbara E.; Hop, J. Peter - In: Energy 34 (2009) 9, pp. 1378-1386
In most Western countries, the power grid provides electricity more than 99% of the time. To maintain reliability at such high levels, energy companies have to continually invest in electric transmission- and distribution systems. Since customers of electricity cannot switch from one...

Efficiency assessment of air stripping packed towers for removal of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) from industrial and drinking waters
Ghoreyshi, Ali Asghar; Sadeghifar, Hamidreza; … - In: Energy 73 (2014) C, pp. 838-843
Packed column strippers are being used for removing VOCs (volatile organic compounds) contaminants from drinking and industrial waste waters. In order to evaluate the capability of packed towers for reducing the contaminant concentration to its permissible limits, a mathematical mass transfer...
