All decisions, including investing in energy transition projects, should satisfy the preferences of the owners. Yet owners of public firms have potentially contrasting preferences for emission reduction, value, and risk. For managers as agents of the owners, satisfying all tastes would be...

This study investigated the dynamic effects of economic growth, renewable energy consumption, urbanization, industrialization, tourism, agricultural productivity, and forest area on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Chile. Using the dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) approach, time series...

The Yangtze River Economic Belt (YEB) and the Yellow River Ecological Economic Belt (YREB) surround the two biggest inland rivers and emit the greatest amount of carbon emissions in China. In order to implement China's dual carbon goal, this research applies a Meta-frontier DN-DEA model,...

The implementation of a carbon pricing policy to comply with GHG emission targets faces opposition in small economies. An integrated modeling exercise was carried out for Israel to assess the cost-effectiveness of GHG emission reduction options. Alternative policies in terms of carbon pricing...

Global climate change, exacerbated by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, notably carbon dioxide (CO2), provides a huge danger to lives, the global environment, and development. The current study explored the dynamic effects of economic growth, fossil fuel energy consumption, renewable energy...

In 2019, production on federal lands comprised 40% of domestic coal, 22% of domestic oil, and 12% of domestic natural gas production. Currently, the federal fossil fuel leasing program does not consider the climate costs of burning federal fossil fuels. One way to do so is through a climate...

CO 2 emission reduction has become the consensus of various industries in China. CO 2 capture, utilization and storage, as an important means for CO 2 emission reduction, is one of the necessary paths to achieve carbon neutrality. Combined with the CO 2 emission of a chemical industry company in...

Consumption of single-use packaging has been increasing globally and the waste produced causes negative impacts on both human and the environment. Retailers, such as supermarkets, developed quickly in recent years to provide for the modern lifestyle, using a lot of packaging in the process of...

Der Schienenverkehr in Deutschland fährt bereits heute zu einem Großteil elektrisch (~90% der Verkehrsleistung auf ~60% elektrifizierten Strecken). Für eine vollständige Defossilisierung sind jedoch auch für die verbliebenen 10% Fahrleistung Lösungen von Nöten. Aufgrund der lokalen...

The growing population and climatic uncertainties have compelled producers to undertake faster exploitation of the resources in agricultural production to meet global food security, which, in turn, leads towards unsustainable and input-led inefficient production growth. The problem is further...

In this work, we have prepared a series of CuO/g-C3N4 nanocomposites with CuO nanospindles anchoring on g-C3N4 nanosheets by facile ultrasonic treatment and impregnation method. The optimum 15%CuO/g-C3N4 sample exhibited higher efficiency about 9 times and 20 times compared to pure g-C3N4 for...

Cold ironing has the potential to reduce the impact of ship exhausts in densely populated areas. However, especially for tankers, the implementation of this concept is almost non-existent. Still, these vessels have a relatively high port energy use, despite relatively short port visits, as they...

The rising share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the energy mix and the desire to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and harmful substances have driven broad-based technological advances on a global scale. In recent years, Millennium and Sustainable Development Goals have appeared,...

We develop a spatial equilibrium model to evaluate the efficiency and distributional impacts of the leading air quality regulation in the United States: the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). We link our economic model to an integrated assessment model for air pollutants which...

Um den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels und der Erderwärmung entgegenzuwirken, werden unterschiedlichste Maßnahmen ergriffen, die den CO2-Ausstoß weltweit verringern sollen. Durch die strengeren Klimamaßnahmen steigt allerdings das Risiko von "Carbon Leakage". Das bedeutet, dass Produkte, die...
