The emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) have significant influence on the global economic environmental trajectories. They carbon intensive systems, which contribute significantly to total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, leading climate change. However, BRICS joined race net-zero emissions by 2050 in quest for a neutral sustainable economy. journey, however, is not without challenges opportunities. proliferation coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had mixed reactions from scientists regarding its implications While statistical data show correlation between COVID-19 decrease it envisaged that compromised efforts develop economies. Hence, there still need more scientific examination COVID-19's impact ambitions, especially This study focuses India Africa's Statistical analysis secondary authentic interactive web-based dashboards repositories, namely Our World Data Climate Action Tracker was performed conjunction with document approach following Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology.

This paper broadly reviews the integration of different renewable energy sources including solar, bioenergy, wind, and geothermal with CO2 capture processes evaluates possible contribution to achieve net-zero or negative emissions. Each option possesses advantage points, which may help reducing cost potentially realize emission ambitions. In power sector, encounters a number challenges such as high upfront investment, large fluctuation in rate, electricity cost. Nonetheless, those drawbacks can be minimized by flexible designs that would optimize steam extraction improve plant efficiency install on/off function exploit low price periods alleviate effect intermittent nature options. Although, many scenarios have been proposed literature, there is lack consideration recently advanced technologies hard-to-abate sectors heavy industries transport. Renewable also bring promising revenue advance ambitious goal direct air (DAC) due flexibility location operation modes, nevertheless, it draws little attention. this analysis, advantages disadvantages each source when integrated into process are discussed thereby potential research directions identified. It emphasized could autonomize carbon retrofits provide convenience power/industrial operators and/or ambitions installing independent scalable DAC systems on inexpensive land vicinity storage/utilisation sites.

Purpose Carbon trading mechanism has been adopted to foster the green transformation of economy on a global scale, but its effectiveness for power industry remains controversial. Given that energy-related greenhouse gas emissions account most all anthropogenic emissions, this paper aims evaluate at plant level support relevant decision-making and design. Design/methodology/approach This constructs novel spatiotemporal data set by matching satellite-based high-resolution (1 × 1 km) CO 2 PM 2.5 emission with accurate geolocation plants. It then applies difference-in-differences model analyse impact carbon reduction in China from 2007 2016. Findings Results suggest induces 2.7% 6.7% plants pilot areas average. However, effect is significant only coal-fired not gas-fired Besides, operated different technologies more pronounced those outdated production technology, indicating strong potential development backward The also intense without affiliation relationships than affiliated particular manufacturers. Originality/value identifies causal relationship between providing an innovative methodology identifying plant-level based satellite data, which practically absent previous studies. serves as reference stakeholders involved detailed policy formulation execution, including policymakers, managers investors.

Transportation carbon emission reduction has become an important driving point for China to achieve peak and neutrality. Based on the three-dimensional grey correlation analysis model, taking five factors affecting transportation emissions, namely, population, GDP, tertiary industry, energy structure logistics scale, as research object, emissions of China’s low-carbon pilot nonpilot provinces from 2010 2019 are calculated based Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) accounting method. The time series degree regional each influencing factor traffic obtained using provincial data, so provide policy suggestions goal “carbon neutrality” in field transportation. results show that descending order is: structure, GDP industry. From 2019, between shows a fluctuating downward trend, but impact demographic more obvious past two years; According difference different regions, development various is different, it necessary formulate relevant policies individually.
