Dynamic environmental efficiency analysis of China's power generation enterprises: a game cross-Malmquist index approach

Bai-Chen Xie et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the dynamic environmental efficiency of China's power generation enterprises in a competitive market, finding that the overall efficiency change is mainly driven by the catch-up effect rather than technological progress. Factors such as installed capacity growth rate, implementation of carbon emission trading pilots, economic growth rate, and enterprise ownership all influence the dynamic environmental performance of China's power generation enterprises.

Life cycle assessment of fuel cell systems for light duty vehicles, current state-of-the-art and future impacts

Lorenzo Usai et al.

Summary: Electric vehicles are crucial for reducing emissions from light duty vehicles, with fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) offering potential benefits in driving range and fueling/charging rates. However, challenges such as lack of fueling infrastructure and high production costs hinder widespread adoption. Constant data updates and early detection of environmental impacts are necessary to guide technological progress. Assessments show that FCEV systems have lower environmental performance in certain components, but future technological developments combined with renewable energy sources could lead to significant reductions in environmental footprints.

A hybrid life cycle assessment of the large-scale application of electric vehicles

Siqin Xiong et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the CO2 emission reduction potential from large-scale vehicle electrification in China. Results show that while emission savings were not achieved in 2018, they could increase up to 49.64 million tons in 2030, with fuel economy identified as a crucial factor for emission mitigation.

Energy, environmental, and economic efficiency in fossil fuel exporting countries: A modified data envelopment analysis approach

Bahram Fathi et al.

Summary: The study examines the energy, environmental, and economic (E3) efficiency in fossil fuel exporting countries during 2015-2017. The DEA approach shows different efficiency performances in each country, while the Nash bargaining game-DEA model ranks China, Oman, and others as top performers and Gabon, Saudi Arabia, and others as low performers. The second model is considered more suitable for ranking due to its unique solution.
