Abstract

Cement production reportedly accounts for the largest global materials flow, thus achieving global environmental sustainability through responsible consumption and production is central to the sustainable development scenario. But even that China, the world's largest carbon emitter and largest cement producer, is under-studied. Thus, the current study employed the nonlinear ARDL and frequency domain causality methods to unearth the contributory or mitigating role of energy sources and economic progress in China's cement carbon emission (CCE) over the period 1971-2020. Overall, the study establishes long-run equilibrium relationship between the study variables of interest Subsequently, the baseline regression suggests that a positive shift in economic growth, energy from fossil fuel and primary energy consumption all increase emissions while a negative shift does not have a significant effect on emissions. Moreover, a positive (negative) shift in renewable energy decreases (increases) emissions in both the short and long-run. The result of the Frequency Domain causality analysis resonates with the results of NARDL regression. As a policy, this study infers energy development and economic-related measures are strategically important in achieving sustainable cement production and consumption.

分类能源与中国水泥生产碳排放的关系

据报道，水泥生产占全球最大的材料流量，因此，通过负责任的消费和生产实现全球环境的可持续性是可持续发展设想的核心。但即便是中国这个世界上最大的碳排放国和最大的水泥生产国，也没有得到充分的研究。因此，本研究采用非线性ARDL和频域因果关系方法来揭示1971-2020年期间能源和经济发展对中国水泥碳排放(CCE)的促进或缓解作用。总体而言，本研究建立了研究变量之间的长期均衡关系。随后，基线回归表明，经济增长、化石燃料能源和一次能源消费的正转移都增加了排放，而负转移对排放没有显著影响。此外，从短期和长期来看，可再生能源的积极(消极)转变会减少(增加)排放。频域因果分析的结果与NARDL回归的结果一致。作为一项政策，本研究推断能源开发和经济相关措施对实现可持续水泥生产和消费具有重要的战略意义。

期刊介绍： Energy & Environment is an interdisciplinary journal inviting energy policy analysts, natural scientists and engineers, as well as lawyers and economists to contribute to mutual understanding and learning, believing that better communication between experts will enhance the quality of policy, advance social well-being and help to reduce conflict. The journal encourages dialogue between the social sciences as energy demand and supply are observed and analysed with reference to politics of policy-making and implementation. The rapidly evolving social and environmental impacts of energy supply, transport, production and use at all levels require contribution from many disciplines if policy is to be effective. In particular E & E invite contributions from the study of policy delivery, ultimately more important than policy formation. The geopolitics of energy are also important, as are the impacts of environmental regulations and advancing technologies on national and local politics, and even global energy politics. Energy & Environment is a forum for constructive, professional information sharing, as well as debate across disciplines and professions, including the financial sector. Mathematical articles are outside the scope of Energy & Environment. The broader policy implications of submitted research should be addressed and environmental implications, not just emission quantities, be discussed with reference to scientific assumptions. This applies especially to technical papers based on arguments suggested by other disciplines, funding bodies or directly by policy-makers.
