The manufacturing sector accounts for a substantial share of the German gross domestic product, employment and carbon emissions. Therefore, reducing its energy use and carbon emissions is of crucial importance to Germany's energy Transition. In this paper, we analyse energy use patterns in...

The exponential rise in energy-related carbon emissions poses a severe risk to both human and other species on the earth. The existence of a two-way relationship between economic growth and energy-specific carbon emissions needs to be delinked to achieve a low carbon economy. The current study...

This paper represents an addition to the scanty empirical evidence relating to the impactof climate change on the manufacturing sector. To study the effect of temperature onenergy use, CO2 emissions, and firms’ economic performance, we combine daily temperatureinformation from 11,000 German...

The lockdown policies related with the COVID-19 pandemic brings carbon emissions slump, but emissions potentially restore to increase as lockdown policies relaxed and the economy recovers. In this context, this study aims to explore the changes in carbon emissions and their underlying factors in...
