In order to better understand the impact of financial development on ecological footprint, this study explores the relationship between financial development and ecological footprint from the perspectives of population aging, GDP per capita, and technological innovation. The results show that when the population aging level is below the threshold, the coefficient of financial development on ecological footprint is 0.285, but when the aging level exceeds the second threshold, the coefficient of financial development on ecological footprint becomes faint negative. Similarly, after per capita GDP crosses the threshold, the correlation coefficient between financial development and ecological footprint turns from positive to faint negative. Compared to this, when the level of technological innovation is below the threshold, the coefficient of financial development and ecological footprint is 0.155, while when the level of technological innovation is above the threshold, the coefficient of financial development and ecological footprint is −0.597. The above results indicates that the impact of financial development on the ecological footprint is affected by other factors. Compared with changes in population structure (aging) and social wealth (GDP per capita), technological innovation has a greater impact on the relationship between financial development and ecological footprint.","PeriodicalId":505265,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environment","volume":"1 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139157998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, major exporting nations are embracing a dual approach, employing both renewable and non-renewable energy sources, to enhance export promotion while addressing environmental concerns. In this study, we examine the intricate relationship between export diversification and disaggregated energy consumption, specifically focusing on renewable and non-renewable energy, within the framework of the BRICS countries from 1990 to 2020. Notably, our investigation contributes significantly to the understanding of the moderating influence of environmental degradation, employing the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) panel quantile regression method. Our findings reveal that initially, export diversification exerts a negative impact on renewable energy consumption. However, as countries attain a comparative advantage in diversification, this relationship transitions into a positive correlation. Additionally, we observe a significant positive association between export diversification and non-renewable energy consumption, which subsequently turns negative once the level of comparative advantage is reached. Moreover, we uncover that CO2 emissions, serving as a proxy for environmental degradation, partially moderate the link between export diversification and renewable energy consumption, while fully moderating the relationship with non-renewable energy consumption. Furthermore, we identify heterogeneous effects of outward foreign direct investment (FDI), innovation, human capital, and institutional quality on the disaggregated levels of energy consumption across the BRICS economies. In light of these findings, we propose the adoption of a prudent approach towards energy resource utilization, taking into account environmental safety considerations within the BRICS countries.","PeriodicalId":505265,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environment","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139210155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this paper examines how individuals’ educational levels affect their behavior for realizing carbon neutrality within the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) framework while employing green energy, green finance, and natural resources as additional variables in the study model. This study utilizes robust econometric techniques to ensure accurate and reliable results, employing data from Ghana from 1990 to 2020. The results confirm that the study variables exhibit stationarity and long-term co-integration. Thus, the novel quantile-on-quantile regression (QQR) technique is utilized to analyze the variables’ relationships evolving throughout various quantile levels so as to offer a more nuanced understanding. The results reveal that secondary and tertiary education are beneficial for achieving carbon neutrality, but primary education alone is insufficient. Moreover, the findings demonstrate that green energy and green finance support the realization of carbon neutrality, while natural resources hinder carbon neutrality realization. Furthermore, the study validates the EKC hypothesis in Ghana. Ultimately, it recommends that authorities invest and prioritize the expansion and quality improvement of secondary and tertiary education in Ghana to accelerate the nation's journey towards carbon neutrality, with due recognition of the need to supplement primary education with a robust higher education system focused on sustainability and environmental studies.","PeriodicalId":505265,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environment","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139219960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study uses cutting-edge techniques to investigate the impacts of green energy consumption, economic globalization, environmental taxation, as well as the potential moderating effects of natural resource rent in conjunction with environmental taxation in European countries during 1995–2020. The empirical findings of this study show that green energy, environmental tax and globalization are negatively associated with ecological footprint, while natural resource is positively linkedwith ecological footprint. Green energy consumption in conjunction with environmental tax has a significant and negative moderating impact on ecological footprint. Similar findings were observedfor the concurrence between natural resources rent and environmental tax, which means that environmental tax has some ability to improve the natural resources management and consequently contribute to improve environmental quality. The establishment of environmental taxation schemes and the use of green energy enable the pursuit of environmentally conscious economic, and energy policies by better-aligning industries with sustainable practices and promoting a balance between economic growth and environmental stewardship. Environmental tax system should support a larger adoption of green energy into European countries for reaching the target of carbon neutrality until 2050. It also contributes to the worldwide effort to achieve carbon neutrality and a sustainable future by offering useful insights and concrete recommendations for the development and implementation of environmentally responsible economic and energy strategies.","PeriodicalId":505265,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environment","volume":"9 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139242954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the research question that the past empirics have overlooked is whether ERV has any role in helping an emerging economy like China in its journey toward a renewable energy transition. To answer this question, this analysis intends to scrutinize the nexus between ERV and renewable energy investment (REI) in China over 1991Q1-2021Q4. Moreover, due to the asymmetric behavior of ERV, we have based our analysis on the asymmetric assumption. For analyzing the short and long-run impacts of ERV on REI in China, we used the linear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and nonlinear ARDL methods. In the long term, the ARDL model predicts that stricter environmental policies and higher GDP will lead to more investment in renewable energy. As far as the nonlinear model is concerned, the long-term negative change in ERV does not affect REIs, whereas a long-term positive change in ERV reduces such investments. Likewise, unfavorable short-term exchange rate shocks encourage REI while positive short-term shocks discourage such development. Moreover, investment in renewable energy is bolstered by GDP, environmental policy strictness, and financial development, but is dampened by CO2 emissions in the short term in both models. On the basis of these results, we suggest that policymakers should consider implementing measures to stabilize exchange rates to promote investment in renewable energy.","PeriodicalId":505265,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environment","volume":"139 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139244847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article aims to construct a framework for the risk identification, analysis, and solution of carbon finance development. It could help trading parties, third-party intermediaries, and government to understand the main obstacles to carbon finance and then take effective control measures. Firstly, 12 risk factors in policy, economy, environment, technology, and society five aspects are identified. Secondly, the risk analysis data is obtained through a comparison of the mutual influence degree of factors, where hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set is used to collect the initial information and triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number is employed to quantify the qualitative linguistics. Expanding the analysis into fuzzy environment can avoid the loss of decision information caused by traditional single real number evaluation. Thirdly, the improved decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and interpretative structural modeling methods are combined to gain the risk analysis results. K-means is used to refine the influence relationship between factors in traditional DEMATEL to three categories: high effect, low effect, and no effect, which enhances applicability of the model in reality. Finally, corresponding improvement schemes and policy suggestions are proposed for each risk factor. The findings of research show that among the risks hindering carbon finance development: low carbon price, immature carbon abatement technology, lack of carbon financial products, and operational risk are the direct factors; adjustments in international climate policy is the fundamental factor.","PeriodicalId":505265,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environment","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139243243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The panel corrected standard errors estimation method is adopted. Additionally, panel causality tests are used to show the long-run relationship among the variables. The results revealed that both imports and outward direct investment from China had been positively associated with renewable energy consumption. However, exports to China were negatively related to renewable energy consumption. The results further reveal that economic growth and financial market developments are found to be ideal for promoting renewable energy consumption. The panel causality results show that there are significant bidirectional causalities between renewable energy consumption and economic growth.

Thus, the reduction in carbon emissions has become a global concern. The widespread use of renewable energy and the improvement of energy efficiency seem to provide a feasible path for countries to achieve carbon emissions reduction, and have received the attention of governments and academics. However, very little literature has focused on the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of the effects of renewable energy use and energy efficiency on carbon emission intensity. This study applies the geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) model and complies with a balanced panel of data from member countries of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) between 2000 and 2019 to investigate the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of the effects of renewable energy and energy efficiency on CO2E. The results show that CO2E per capita (CO2EP) increases over time, but its distribution across RCEP member countries remains largely stable. Overall, the usage of renewable energy tends to decrease CO2EP, while energy efficiency tends to increase it. However, with the passage of time and changes in geographical location, renewable energy consumption and energy efficiency show significant temporal and spatial heterogeneity in their effects on CO2EP of RCEP member countries. Additionally, the effects of industrial structure, merchandise trade, urbanization rate, and energy poverty on CO2EP of RCEP member countries are also characterized by spatial and temporal heterogeneity.","PeriodicalId":505265,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environment","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139260445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the generation of shrimp shell waste is also increasing, while the current disposal method such as landfilling causes pollution and produces harmful leachate to living organisms and the environment. Therefore, a proper management strategy is needed to dispose of shrimp shell waste to mitigate the adverse effects caused to the environment. This study presents an in-depth approach to reveal the properties of shrimp shell waste and explore its potential for use in various applications. The shrimp shell waste was subjected to pyrolysis–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and thermogravimetric-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy pyrolysis to evaluate the gas composition from pyrolysis. Thermogravimetric-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis reveals that when the optimal temperature for pyrolysis is 400 °C–600 °C, the predominant functional group of gases produced are –CH, –OH, and –NH. On the other hand, the results of pyrolysis–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry indicate that hydrocarbon (51.86%) is the main product of shrimp shell waste pyrolysis at 900 °C, which can be used in paints, paint thinners, rubber, printing inks, adhesives (glue). Although it has a calorific value of 15.113 MJ/kg, it cannot be directly burned because of its high nitrogen concentration (10.85 wt.%) which may generate harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides. Overall, pyrolysis is recommended as a viable method for converting shrimp shell waste into versatile products.","PeriodicalId":505265,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environment","volume":"1 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139260189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
