Geothermal energy is both a clean and sustainable energy source that contributes to economic growth (GDP) and environmentally friendly, as it releases much less harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than fossil fuels. This study presents a novel perspective by examining the dynamic impact of...

This paper analyzes energy use and CO2 emissions of more than 78,000 German industrial establishments between 1995 and 2006. It is the first study to exploit exceptionally rich energy data that were recently matched to official micro datasets. We document that both energy use and intensity are...

The primary aim of this study is to examine the causal relations between energy use, CO₂ emissions and economic growth, using the examples of Greece and Bulgaria. The empirical evidence on South Eastern Europe (SEE) considering this research is quite sparse, so there is merit in the analysis of...

As the consumption of energy is responsible for approximately, 80% of GHG in EU, the impact of energy activity on the environment has received increasing attention over the last decades from scholars, researchers, politicians and society as a whole. Within EU member countries it is commonly...

The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the impact of economic growth, oil consumption, financial development, industrialization and trade openness on carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, particularly in relation to major oil-consuming, developing economies. This study utilizes annual...

This paper analyses the relationship among economic growth, energy use and carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in Israel over the period 1971-2006. Results of unit root tests show that all variables are integrated of order one. Causality results suggest that real gross domestic product (GDP) drives...

This study assesses the economy-wide impacts of cutting CO2 emissions on the Brazilian economy. It finds that in 2040, the business-as-usual CO2 emissions from energy use and industrial processes would be almost three times as high as those in 2010 and would account for more than half of total...

This study examines the inter relationships between energy consumption, output and carbon emissions in a mountainous economy using an augmented Vector Autoregression model. Time-series data over the period 1975-2013 is studied applying a multivariate framework using population and gross fixed...
