An Analysis of the Use of Energy from Conventional Fossil Fuels and Green Renewable Energy in the Context of the European Union’s Planned Energy Transformation

Energies, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 15(19), P. 7369 - 7369

Published: Oct. 7, 2022

Over the past few years, considerable emphasis has been put on decarbonization, which, in context of recent events Europe, proves that mixing energy sources is best strategy. This article discusses ways which individual EU member states manage their source diversification, while comparing levels fossil fuels and renewable (RESs) usage. The research data was acquired from Eurostat website comprises 15 indicators describing use both conventional European Union, 2019. study employs taxonomical methods, such as ranking cluster analysis. authors forward a hypothesis approach resources several ways. There are countries take advantage traditional (Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy). However, there group relies single exclusively uses either (Poland) or (Sweden, Finland). analyses enabled isolation country clusters with similar activities strategies.

Evaluation of the efficiency of urban solid waste management in Brazil by data envelopment analysis and possible variables of influence

Waste Disposal & Sustainable Energy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 6(2), P. 283 - 295

Published: Jan. 22, 2024

Abstract This article has the general objective of estimating efficiency urban solid waste management in 940 Brazilian municipalities through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique and specific objectives: (i) to estimate scores; (ii) compare performance between different groups municipalities; (iii) analyze profile efficient from perspective guidelines Law 12,305/2010 socio-economic environmental indicators. The used was DEA with output-oriented variable scale return modeling. results showed higher scores populations above 500,000 inhabitants. score variation ranged 0.5 (municipalities <10,000 inhabitants) 0.9 more than inhabitants). Of sample set, only 12.34% were considered efficient, when analyzing group, it found that adherence legislation not a major factor achieving efficiency. Graphical abstract

Assessment of Energy Efficiency in the European Union Countries in 2013 and 2020

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(4), P. 3414 - 3414

Published: Feb. 13, 2023

In the face of current energy crisis and need to implement objectives climate policy, it seems necessary examine efficiency. Accordingly, this article aims assess efficiency European Union (EU) countries. The assessment is performed using data envelopment analysis (DEA), a non-parametric method measurement relative Ireland recorded highest both in 2013 2020. average all countries assessed was lower 2020 than 2013. number fully efficient had decreased compared differentiation terms increased research made possible express efficiencies single indicator applied establish countries’ rankings. lowest-ranked states are encouraged improve their technologies for transforming inputs into outputs following benchmark Moreover, new approach defining measuring proposed. We define as ratio services, goods and/or obtained input. analysing efficiency, we emphasise dynamic perspectives rather static ones.

The Effect of Marshallian and Jacobian Knowledge Spillovers on Jobs in the Solar, Wind and Energy Efficiency Sector

Energies, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 14(14), P. 4269 - 4269

Published: July 14, 2021

The purpose of this paper is to establish if Marshallian and Jacobian knowledge spillovers affect job creation in the green energy sector. Whether these two effects exist important for number jobs created related fields pushed away other sectors. In analysis, production efficiency, terms spillovers, from inventions solar, wind explored through data envelopment analysis (DEA), based on Malmquist productivity index, tobit regression. A panel dataset American European firms over period 2002–2017 used. contribution literature show role same technology sector (Marshallian externalities), more diversified activity (Jacobian externalities). Since previous empirical evidence concerning innovation efficiency yet weak, attempts bridge gap. findings suggest negative externalities, while externalities have no statistical impact process. are strategic importance governments who developing industrial strategies renewable energy.

Regional Variation in the Carbon Dioxide Emission Efficiency of Construction Industry in China: Based on the Three-Stage DEA Model

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 2021, P. 1 - 13

Published: Aug. 23, 2021

China’s construction industry emits a huge amount of carbon dioxide with the extensive and rapid development, emissions from sector have become social problem. This article evaluates emission regional by three-stage DEA method. The research results indicate that environmental factors random error seriously affect efficiency industry. Eliminated above factors, mean has tendency rising firstly then decreasing, which increased 0.67 in 2010 to 0.76 2014 decreased 0.66 2019 third stage. On whole, low efficiency. In regions, Eastern region highest technology value among three followed Middle West region. Therefore, key method increase is improve management change growth mode.
