Articulating CO2 emissions limiting roles of nuclear energy and ICT under the EKC hypothesis: An application of non-parametric MMQR approach

Geoscience Frontiers, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14(5), P. 101589 - 101589

Limiting toxic elements from being exposed to the world's atmosphere has been biggest challenge among environmental researchers and stakeholders. Climate change conferences have counselling global economies take serious steps toward profound decarbonization keep universal temperature below 1.5 °C. In this context, direction of research changed, are more focused on tracing how limit pollution it threshold level. milieu, nuclear energy can make a big difference along with other alternatives fossil energy. Therefore, we extend extant literature by exploring dynamic effects atomic ICT carbon emissions (CO2) for top countries using data 1990 2017. To obtain robust findings, deploy novel non-parametric econometric approach (i.e., method moments quantile regression). The results suggest that is sustainable alternative historical fuel as curbs CO2 in lower, middle, upper quantiles. Furthermore, our findings corroborate penetration through internet, mobile telephone plays vital role improving quality. Moreover, unveil linear economic growth jeopardizes environment unleashing harmful gases. also support existence Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis confirming negative association between polynomial (squared-GDP) designated nations. Also, Granger causality test reaffirms causal nexus selected series runs technological innovation emissions, indicating any policy shock both leads degradation. We, therefore, advocate territories enriching their baskets boost achieve 100% decoupling pollution.

Does the digital economy reduce air pollution in China? A perspective from industrial agglomeration

Energy Reports, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 9, P. 3625 - 3641

Published: Feb. 28, 2023

Based on the perspective of industrial agglomeration, this paper employs a dynamic panel model and mediating effects to investigate impact digital economy's development air pollution in 274 Chinese cities from 2011 2019. The main findings include: (1) economy reduces emissions cities, elasticity reduction is greater central western China than eastern China. (2) nexus between agglomeration inverted-N-shaped. (3) Mechanism tests show that can effectively promote degree each area, it plays positive role abating through externalities but effect not significant (4) Diversified an active mediator Accordingly, some policy implications are put forward for simultaneously promoting reducing pollution, impelling accelerating green transformation

Can green credit policy reduce corporate carbon emission intensity: Evidence from China's listed firms

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 30(5), P. 2623 - 2638

Published: April 20, 2023

Abstract Green credit policy is designed to address the global climate risk. However, few studies have investigated empirically whether green indeed reduces corporate carbon emission intensity. Based on firm‐level data in China and a difference‐in‐differences model, this study explores how intensity evolves following policy. We find that, whole, can effectively reduce intensity, while dynamic negative effect tends alleviate after 2017. Specifically, mainly through lowering investment enhancing environmental supervision. signaling mechanism of does not significantly The has stronger reduction with third‐party certification, non‐state‐owned ownership, high financing constraint. thereby suggest that innovations should be made standards processes ensure sustainability stability. Quantitative standardized information disclosure essential for low‐carbon finance innovation.

Greening the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) economies: Assessing the impact of electricity consumption, natural resources, and renewable energy on environmental footprint

Natural Resources Forum, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 47(3), P. 484 - 503

Published: May 15, 2023

Abstract Electricity consumption is a crucial factor in the environmental pollution process, and therefore, its impact needs to be carefully considered by policymakers. This study investigates relationship between energy consumption, electricity generation, natural resource utilization, BRICS nations, which have substantial share global consumption. To this end, we employed novel methodology, namely Method of Moment Quantile Regression (MMQR), for time period 1990 2018, within framework Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory. The study's outcome shows that resources renewable are efficacious significant curbing degradation among sample countries. investigation reveals positive correlation degradation, thereby highlighting vital resource's role exacerbating nations’ ecological footprint. findings from research can provide insights policymakers achieve sustainable development carbon neutrality these
