Therefore, the article constructed a multidimensional compactness index system to comprehensively investigate the influence of compact city on HCE in 286 cities in China, using DMSP-OLS/NPP-VIIRS nightlight data and socioeconomic data from 2000 to 2015. The Geographical and Temporal Weighted Regression (GTWR) model is employed in the study to examine the localized impact of different levels of compactness on HCE. The results found: (1) Economic compactness has a promoting effect on HCE in resource-endowed cities with well developed heavy industry and abundon fossil fuels, while economic compactness inhibits HCE in cities dominated by service and high-tech industry. (2) Cities with higher population carrying capacity are more easily to reduce HCE when cities become more compact. (3) For cities with large land carrying capacity and well-built road transportation facilities, the greater the compactness of land use, the more conducive to restraining an increase of HCE.

The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is frequently used to develop carbon neutrality roadmaps for various industries and even entire nations, but few scholars have applied it to the iron and steel industry (IaSI). According to the International Monetary Fund, the global IaSI accounts for 7% of total CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, making it a key sector for emissions in manufacturing. Given the high industrial linkages of the IaSI, it’s crucial to focus on its CO<sub>2</sub> emission patterns. This paper investigates the EKC hypothesis in the IaSI using data from 30 countries from 1990 to 2019. The results show that the EKC hypothesis is valid in the global IaSI. The study suggests that CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of the IaSI will peak when the per capita real GDP reaches $17,535 (constant price in 2010). Unlike emerging economies, the IaSI in advanced economies has reached the carbon peak. The robustness of this result is verified by an appropriate U test. Our results also show that a 1% increase in crude steel production will increase the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of the IaSI by 0.675%; however, expanding the proportion of using electric arc furnaces to produce crude steel can substantially reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Discussions on the EKC curve of IaSI reveal significant policy implications for countries striving to achieve carbon peaking and neutrality targets.</p>","PeriodicalId":540,"journal":{"name":"Environment, Development and Sustainability","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, studying the carbon emissions of major energy-consuming industries is necessary. However, few studies have translated China’s carbon peak goal into the goal of major energy-consuming industries. Using the emission factor method and the Kaya-LMDI model to account for and decompose carbon emissions from 1999 to 2020 and using scenario analysis and the Monte Carlo algorithm to predict the trend of carbon emissions from 2021 to 2030 under different scenarios, we drew vital conclusions. Reduction of energy intensity of production industries and the shift of economic structure to tertiary industry will inhibit the growth of carbon emissions from major energy-consuming industries, with average annual contributions of − 23.27% and − 36.94%, respectively. The growth of per capita industry output and total population will promote the growth of carbon emissions, with average annual contributions of 83.45% and 6.55%, respectively. Production and Supply of Electric Power and Heat has the greatest carbon reduction potential. The energy-saving scenario is most likely to achieve the carbon peak goal, with a carbon peak date of 2028 and carbon emissions from major energy-consuming industries of 13,773 Mt . This means that China will need to make more efforts. This study provides a unique research perspective on carbon peak at the industry level in China, offering new insights into resource allocation and policy preferences, and serving as a reference for other countries aiming to translate carbon peak goal from the national level to the industry level.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":540,"journal":{"name":"Environment, Development and Sustainability","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been shown that cities may be environmentally efficient with CO<sub>2</sub> emissions that seem to be sub-linear, so large cities are more “green”. However, other reports suggest a super-linear relationship with respect to population size, so the large cities are less “green”. We report here for the first time the results of the nonlinear allometric power-law properties of multiple air pollutants, expanding the analysis to include electricity consumption and atmospheric emissions of CO<sub>2</sub>, NO<sub>x</sub>, SO<sub>2</sub>, CO, NMVOC, PM<sub>10</sub>, PM<sub>2.5</sub>, Benzene and 1,3-Butadiene together in one study in the case of Israel. They show the recurring mathematical patterns of cities similar to those reported elsewhere. Electricity usage is super-linear. Pollutant emissions of these greenhouse gases tend to exhibit significant super-linear dynamics (β &gt; 1), though NMVOC and Benzene were linear. These results were conserved when regressing against the urban vehicle fleet size. This evidence supports the hypothesis that large cities may be less “green”. Indeed, different urban characteristics such as geography, local climate and weather conditions, population density, may also affect the pollution levels of cities. Taken together these results give evidence to the effect of urban agglomerations on the environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":540,"journal":{"name":"Environment, Development and Sustainability","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed GTO approach is used to optimize the DC/DC converter parameter and fuel consumption and the HGRNN approach is used to predict the optimal parameter of the DC/DC converter parameter.

Better outcomes are shown by the proposed strategy in all existing systems like Genetic Algorithm, Global Optimisation Algorithms, and Particle Swarm Optimization.

It is crucial to improve UGIE through the producer services agglomeration (PSA) for China. Based on the perspective of spatial correlation, we investigate the spatial spillover effect, mechanism, and nonlinear characteristics of PSA on UGIE. The results indicate that: (1) China’s UGIE exhibits an upward trend with fluctuations, with growth poles in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Yangtze River Delta, and Bohai Rim. China’s PSA initially declines, gradually increases, and then decreases. There is still room for progress in both UGIE and PSA. (2) The direct and spatial spillover effects of PSA on UGIE exhibit a U-shaped pattern, initially inhibiting and then promoting. However, the spatial spillover effects are only observed within a geographical range of 350 km. Cities in the eastern region or with advanced high-end producer services have lower inflection points. (3) PSA can enhance UGIE in local cities by facilitating knowledge spillover and optimizing labor allocation, while also impacting UGIE in neighboring cities through improved capital allocation. (4) Under varying levels of industrial agglomeration and marketization, the nonlinear impact of PSA on UGIE exhibits a single threshold effect and a double threshold effect, respectively. When the threshold value of PSA reaches 0.548 and the threshold values of marketization reach 8.269 and 11.373, the impact of PSA on UGIE gradually transitions from inhibition to promotion.

While theoretical researches have examined potential frameworks as to an international environmental agreement (IEA) to mitigate global warming problem, none considered the impact of asymmetric technology difference on the optimal allowance trading scheme when forming a stable IEA. By using the method of participation game theory and numerical simulations, this paper envisages a set of countries with asymmetric abatement technology in a noncooperative participation game to study the various impacts of the magnitude of technology difference among countries, the scope of the “allowances to emit” trading, the decision orders and the number of total countries on the optimal trading scheme under the stability of IEA. It characterizes three trading scenarios in a participation game and analyzes in detail that the magnitude of technology difference and the coverage of trading system have impacts on the optimal coalition size as well as the feature of coalition member. The quantitative findings show that if the technology gap is sufficiently small/large, the largest/smallest abatement achieves under a worldwide trading system instead of a trading system within the IEA members. From the perspective of social welfare, the upshot of optimal IEA size as well as trading scheme is provided upon the magnitude of technology difference. In sum, a comprehensive global environmental convention with a worldwide “allowances to emit” trading system is overarching and optimal for the global society. These findings drive towards some key policy implications that establish a sound trading scheme allowing fair participation for all countries and encourage innovation activities in abatement technologies and so on.</p>","PeriodicalId":540,"journal":{"name":"Environment, Development and Sustainability","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
