The role of renewable and fossil fuel energy consumption on environmental sustainability remains inconclusive due to varied economic and technological structure. This study provides new insight by assessing the nexus between the utilization of two energy categories - renewable and conventional,...

This paper investigates the effects of electricity consumption and generation on carbon emissions in 25 African countries for the 1980-2016 period. Specifically, it examines the effects of diverse electricity sources (e.g. hydro, oil, natural gas, coal) and renewable electricity output on carbon...

Recent global trends in societies modernization and lifestyle change alter a dramatic concern about global collaboration in term of climate change mitigation and sustainable development. Overcome these challenges, viable strategies are known exigence. Historically, strategy-making,...

The recent ban on conventional incandescent lamps for residential use led Brazilian consumers to choose from three main lighting technologies: incandescent halogen, CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp), and LED (Light Emitting Diode). Despite the fact that their electrical performances are well known,...

This paper attempts to investigate the impact of economic growth and CO2 emissions on energy consumption for a global panel of 58 countries using dynamic panel data model estimated by means of the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) for the period 1990-2012. We also estimate this relationship...

China's iron and steel industry has developed rapidly over the past two decades. The annual crude steel production is nearly half of the global production, and approximately 90% of the steel is produced via BF-BOF route that is energy-intensive. Based on the practice of integrated steelmaking...

In order to have sustainable development, it is necessary to manage energy use and greenhouse gases (GHG) emission in all production processes. The aim of this study was to compare wheat production in dryland and irrigated agroecosystems in terms of greenhouse gases (GHG) emission based on...

The current study objective is to contribute to the factors that make better the economic growth of the Asia countries with an importance on the frequently deserted bilateral FDI, energy use, CO2 emissions and capital role in the economic growth. This study applies generalized method of moments...
