Effectively improving the green innovation efficiency (GIE) in manufacturing is an important way to break through environmental and energy constraints. This study explored multiple mechanisms of carbon trading in GIE using a sample of A-share listed manufacturing enterprises in China from 2015...

Green credit plays a pivotal role in maintaining a balance between energy demand and the transition to low-carbon energy sources while considering energy conservation, emission reduction and the 'dual carbon' goal strategies. The SE-SBM model and the spatial Durbin model were used in this study...

Climate and weather conditions influence energy demand. as well as electricity generation, especially due to the strong development of renewable energy. The changes of the European energy mix, together with ongoing climate change, raise a number of questions on impact on the electricity sector....

With the increasing amount of building renovations in Austria, the potential increases for replacing conventional national gas heating systems with heat pumps (HP) and thereby reduce CO2 emissions particularly when combined with solar photovoltaics (PV). The Austrian subsidization scheme for HP...

Hydropower is considered as a clean energy. However, compared to other renewable sources (like wind and solar), its adverse impacts on society and nature are substantial, and it exists during the construction and operational phase as well. Therefore, there is a need to green the overall...

Since 2016, Taiwan has pursued an agenda of energy transition and a nuclear-free homeland by 2025, with an increase in renewable energy from 5% in 2016 to 20% in 2025. Furthermore, Taiwan has significantly accelerated its offshore wind power (WP) targets since (i.e., 5.7 GW by 2025) from two...

The market reform of production factors is an important component of profit sustainable growth. In addition, higher innovation efficiency will increase the input-output ratio and affect sustainable profit growth. Therefore, it is necessary to study the influence of various factor market...

Installing multi-terawatt capacities of renewable technologies, mainly wind and solar, could be a potential solution for reducing carbon emissions to reach a safe climate threshold. However, due to variabilities in solar and wind generation, energy storage will play an essential role in the...

From the highest political ruling institute through the Amir of the State of Kuwait, the country announced its keenness to meet 15% of the local energy demand from renewable sources by 2030. Since the announcement in 2012, there has not been an effective assignment toward the goal. Up to date,...

In this paper, we explore the development of financing and subsidies for renewable energy in three fossil-fuelled European countries: Poland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Financing for renewable energy is an existing arena involving multi-actor activities and practices that develop...
