Like in most Sub-Saharan Africa, biomass is the most consumed fuel in overall Kenyan energy demand. In addition to biomass, other end-use fuels are also consumed in the country, mostly by economic sectors. However, electricity demand has been the only end-use energy considered in most energy...

The building sector plays a key role in the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the European Union (EU). The revision of the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD) sets out how Europe can achieve a decarbonised building stock by 2050. This paper offers an overview of the...

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...

Following the example of national pledges and strategies to tackle climate change, cities are mobilising themselves towards decarbonisation, playing a key role in the achievement of those commitments due to their relevance within national energy systems. However, despite cities ambitions, there...

Governments all over the world are investigating how to mitigate environmental risk and how to address climate policies to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). This study focuses on interactions between climate policy development and different SDGs. The study analyses panel data for the...

Sustainable energy transition is garnering attention as a method to achieve emission reduction targets. In this transition, technology learning and spillovers, which are representative sources of technological change, have significant implications. Most previous studies focused on inter-country...

Energy efficiency improvement is key to achieving energy conservation. Based on China's microdata from 2000 to 2010, this study systematically analyzes the impact of carbon reduction policies on energy efficiency through propensity score matching and the difference-in-differences method. The...

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...

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,...

Effectively mitigating the increasing energy demand sector emissions is seriously considered in China. Under the continuous motivation of the Chinese government, the cumulative installed solar PV capacity in China has occupied 32.63 % of the global in 2019. Unfortunately, a large amount of...
