We analyze the energy market and ETS outcomes in Kazakhstan, a major fossil-fuel exporter. The energy market was characterized by the presence of large state-owned enterprises, prevalence of fossil fuel subsidies, and dominance of coal-fired generation. Despite the ETS, Kazakhstan's CO2...

This paper contributes to mitigating the debate on whether carbon taxes have positive or negative effects on climate change by presenting an investigation on the relationship between carbon taxes and renewable energy consumption. Taking advantage of the panel CS-ARDL model, we distinctly inspect...

Agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) represent 22% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement, the AFOLU sector greenhouse gases must be dramatically reduced and eventually transformed to net negative CO2e within this century. The...

The European Green Deal is a comprehensive strategy aiming to fully decarbonize the economy by 2050, with a key target of a 55 % reduction in carbon emissions by 2030. This study contributes to the debate around the European Green Deal by providing insights from different dynamic stochastic...

The identification of factors influencing the renewable energy stock market has recently received much attention from scholars. While the implications of economic policy uncertainty on renewable energy stock markets have been extensively studied in recent literature, less attention has been paid...

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...

Many challenges should be tackled in transitioning to a low-carbon energy system, motivating many researchers to study these challenges. In this context, the present study aims to identify challenges through a systematic literature review of studies published between 2006 and 2023 to propose a...

Environmental issues, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, are humanity's most critical issues. Emissions released by oil-producing countries is not small. This is because these countries have an abundance of fossil fuels with considerably low prices, and the cost of using these natural...

Today, the increasing use of technology and the industrial revolution are affecting the economy and the environment, such as the development of economies and the increase of the ecological footprint (EFP). This study focuses on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to assess the impact of...

The main cause of climate change are carbon dioxide emissions. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of emissions has been significantly reduced for the first time in many years. Now it is necessary to answer the question of whether CO2 emissions are stationary or not, because the...
