Assessing the recent impact of COVID-19 on carbon emissions from China using domestic economic data

Pengfei Han et al.

Summary: The outbreak of COVID-19 has led to significant reductions in GDP, power generation, industrial activity, and transport volume in China, resulting in a decrease in CO2 emissions. The reduction was mainly contributed by the secondary industry, with Hubei province being the largest contributor. Additionally, changes in transportation also played a significant role in reducing emissions.

The role of emissions and meteorology in driving CO2 concentrations in urban areas

Giovanni Gualtieri et al.

Summary: Analyzing data on CO2 concentrations, eddy covariance fluxes, and meteorological parameters in the city center of Florence, Italy, showed that CO2 concentrations are influenced by meteorological conditions and anthropogenic emissions. An artificial neural network model outperformed linear models in predicting CO2 concentrations, with meteorological parameters, particularly wind speed, playing a primary role in influencing CO2 concentrations.

The impact of COVID-19 lockdown on atmospheric CO2 in Xi'an, China

Shugang Wu et al.

Summary: The research shows that lockdown measures significantly reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions, leading to a decrease in CO2 concentrations in Xi'an, China. The sharp reduction in atmospheric CO2 during lockdown was temporary, returning to normal levels within months after the lockdown measures were lifted, highlighting the impact of traffic and industrial emissions on CO2 sources.
