Emission free compressed air powered energy system can be used as the main power source or as an auxiliary power unit in vehicular transportation with advantages of zero carbon emissions and improved the overall energy efficiency of the integrated energy system. This work presented a detailed...

Environmental pollution and the global scarcity of fossil fuels are becoming worse. The study empirically quantifies the causal link between the rise in new energy vehicle sales and the exemption of vehicle purchase tax on such cars, using a difference-in-differences specification to exploit...

Over the past three decades, energy and economic growth have been joined by enormous environmental pollution and growing global concerns. It is necessary to check the factors' effects impacting CO2 emissions and decouple CO2 from economic growth for the biggest emitter China. This study uses the...

While Afghanistan's power sector is almost completely dependent on fossil fuels, it still cannot meet the rising power demand of this country. Deploying a combination of renewable energy systems with hydrogen production as the excess energy storage mechanism could be a sustainable long-term...

Pakistan predominately relies on fossil fuel consumption (almost 84%) to meet its energy demand, which has led to a significant rise in CO2 emissions (CO2Es) and poses an enormous threat to industrial growth. To reduce CO2Es and develop the economy simultaneously, it is necessary to study how to...

The world is still following an unsustainable development pathway, facing great challenges in global CO2 emissions reduction in the coming decades. In this study, we used Kaya identity model to project CO2 emissions. We considered three main scenarios (business-as-usual, BAU;...

The Yangtze River Economic Belt (YEB) and the Yellow River Ecological Economic Belt (YREB) surround the two biggest inland rivers and emit the greatest amount of carbon emissions in China. In order to implement China's dual carbon goal, this research applies a Meta-frontier DN-DEA model,...

This study explores whether increasing renewable energy consumption can alleviate environmental pressures (per capita carbon emissions and per capita ecological footprint) and the heterogeneity of the effects of increasing renewable energy consumption on the environmental pressures of countries...

China's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have an important impact on global climate change. However, a systematical analysis, especially from the reform and opening up, is still insufficient. Thus, the emissions' decomposition since 1980 was completed by an extended logarithmic mean Divisia index...

Accurately predicting energy consumption (EC) and carbon emission is essential for China's achieving carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. In view of decomposition-ensemble (DE) strategy can effectively enhancing the prediction performance by decreasing the complexity and...
