This paper employs regression discontinuity design to estimate the impact of heating modes on residents’ energy consumption, energy efficiency gap, and energy usage behavior, using the Chinese Residential Energy Consumption Survey (CRECS). We find that district heating increases total energy...

In this study, the actual operation status of the cogeneration model was investigated to examine the difference between the theoretical evaluation and the field operation situation. The adequacy of the installed capacity of the cogeneration system was assessed by using in-house developed...

The European Union has set ambitious goals for both energy efficiency and renewable energy use as part of its strategy to combat climate change. Using a panel data regression model that spans from 2012 to 2021, this study aims to evaluate how energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy...

Energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable power -- Geopolitics of energy transition and industrial ecology -- Alternative Energy as a Promising Venue for China-Russia Collaboration -- Renewable energy systems in emerging economies -- Energy Transition for cooking in rural India: Analyzing...

One of the main factors in achieving the ecological development goals is the change of unsustainable consumption patterns. Households play here a crucial role. The high level of urbanization and industrialization in the Silesian Voivodeship has caused serious environmental degradation, which in...
