Electric vehicles (EVs) are contributing to a decarbonisation of conventional Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) in the transport sector. With recent technological advancements in Dynamic Inductive Power Transfer (DIPT) system, EVs can be energised wirelessly by embedding a roadway charging...

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are regarded as a feasible solution to achieving decarbonisation in the transportation sector. However, EVs powered by fossil dominated energy sources may offer a discounted solution. This paper presents a comparative study of Australian and New Zealand’s vehicle...

Global warming resulting from greenhouse gas emissions poses threats to humankind and has become a worldwide issue. As the top CO2 emitter in the world, China has committed to achieving its carbon emission peak by no later than 2030; in this context, how to best use and apply carbon emission...

In response to the recent growth of multitudes of theoretical literature analysing the corruption impact on the economy and environment, this paper subjects the corruption–carbon emission relationship in China to a detailed empirical examination through the autoregressive distributed lag...

Purpose – The New Zealand (NZ) dairy industry faces the challenge of increasing productivity and dealing with public concerns over nutrient pollution. The effective policy needs to address regional differences in productivity and fertilizer use. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how...

Road passenger transportation, which includes private vehicles, public transport, and motorcycles, is regarded a vital link that connects people and economic activities across New Zealand. Given the fact that road passenger transport modes are considered substitutes/complements to one another,...

The five major power generation corporations dominate the power industry in China, and play vital roles in China's carbon trading scheme. Under this circumstance, this paper studies the allocation of carbon emission quotas to China's five major power generation corporations based on the fairness...

In this study, we examine the economic impacts of net zero-emission target in New Zealand, applying an integrated forest-computable general equilibrium model. The model is set to simulate equilibrium carbon permit price and sectoral output levels given the emission trading market, which is also...

To achieve the energy intensity reduction targets set by the Chinese government policymakers need to understand the key drivers that contribute to regional variations in energy intensity. Understanding regional differences will contribute to the design of more effective energy policies. To...

Contemporaneous structural changes in the New Zealand economy, growth of the services sector, and increased reliance on renewable sources of electricity, underpin changing patterns of energy consumption in Aotearoa New Zealand. The Zero Carbon Act passed in November 2019 set a pathway to...
