Decoupling of economic growth from CO2 emissions in Yangtze River Economic Belt sectors: A sectoral correlation effects perspective

Guangming Rao et al.

Summary: This paper explores the decoupling state of sector economic growth from CO2 emissions in the input-output process. It proposes a methodology of correlation effects decoupling index to analyze the decoupling status and sources of sector CO2 emissions. Through a case study of the Yangtze River Economic Belt sectors in China, the results show a high correlation effects of CO2 emissions in the energy-intensive sectors and a decrease in the decoupling of economic growth from CO2 emissions, primarily influenced by the deterioration of correlation effects in the energy-intensive sectors.

Driving forces and mitigating strategies of CO2 emissions in China: A decomposition analysis based on 38 industrial sub-sectors

Hong-xing Wen et al.

Summary: Due to the heterogeneity in China's industrial sector, CO2 emissions and the driving forces behind them vary in different sub-sectors. This study uses a generalized Divisia index model to analyze the trajectories of China's industrial CO2 emissions and their driving forces. The findings indicate that investment scale is the main driver of CO2 emissions, while carbon intensity, energy intensity, and investment efficiency play important roles in reducing CO2 emissions.

Investigating the impacts of three-dimensional spatial structures on CO2 emissions at the urban scale

Xiaocong Xu et al.

Summary: Research on the relationship between urban structures and CO2 emissions in mainland China found that three-dimensional urban structures play a crucial role in influencing CO2 emissions. Factors such as total building volume, building height, and heat dissipation area were identified as key drivers of CO2 emissions. While compact urban building coverage at a two-dimensional scale can reduce CO2 emissions, an intense and congested pattern in three-dimensional space may lead to higher CO2 emissions.

Impacts of local public expenditure on CO2 emissions in Chinese cities: A spatial cluster decomposition analysis

Shulei Cheng et al.

Summary: By analyzing data from 279 cities in China, it was found that cities with similar socio-economic conditions exhibit emission differences, mainly influenced by the carbon intensity of local public expenditure and other public expenditures. Insights gained can provide feasible implications for Chinese cities in terms of CO2 emissions reduction policies.

Decoupling analysis and scenario prediction of agricultural CO2 emissions: An empirical analysis of 30 provinces in China

Jiaqi Jiang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the decoupling status and future trends of CO2 emissions from the agricultural sector in China. Driving forces such as per capita cultivated area and rural population were identified using the LMDI model. The Tapio model was then used to analyze the relationship between agricultural CO2 emissions and output. Results showed significant emissions reductions in the decoupling scenarios, with potential for further reductions in provinces with high emission levels.

Multi-objective lifecycle optimization for oil palm fertilizer formulation: A hybrid P-graph and TOPSIS approach

Juin Yau Lim et al.

Summary: This study developed a novel multi-criteria decision-making approach for sustainable fertilization by combining organic and chemical fertilizers, considering economic, environmental, and health aspects. Through a case study in Malaysia's oil palm plantation, it was demonstrated that the F30 formulation effectively reduced environmental burden and costs. The proposed framework showcased a new perspective in addressing sustainability in fertilization practices, particularly in the agricultural sector.

Spatial decomposition of city-level CO2 emission changes in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei

Xiaohong Yu et al.

Summary: This study focused on carbon emissions in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, revealing the need for tailored emission reduction policies due to differing industrial characteristics among cities. High carbon emission cities include Tangshan, Handan, and Shijiazhuang, while low carbon emission cities include Hengshui, Baoding, Langfang, Qinhuangdao, and Xingtai. Factors such as economic scale, energy intensity, and energy structure contribute to variations in carbon emissions, highlighting the importance of individualized emission reduction strategies for each city.

Industrial agglomeration, CO2 emissions and regional development programs: A decomposition analysis based on 286 Chinese cities

Jianxin Wu et al.

Summary: Industrial agglomeration has complex impacts on urban CO2 emissions, including scale effect, composition effect, and technique effect. The influence of agglomeration on CO2 emissions varies by region, with the technique and composition effects offsetting the scale effect in eastern cities, while the scale effect being more prominent in central and western cities. China's regional development programs have affected the environmental efficiency gains from industrial agglomeration.

Evidence of decoupling consumption-based CO 2 emissions from economic growth

Klaus Hubacek et al.

Summary: The decoupling of economic growth from resource use and emissions is essential to stay within planetary boundaries, but achieving this decoupling can be complex and temporary. While some countries have achieved absolute decoupling between GDP and emissions, continuous efforts are needed to maintain this decoupling. The key factor for achieving decoupling lies in reducing emission intensity along domestic and import supply chains, highlighting the importance of decarbonizing supply chains and international collaboration in controlling emissions.

Chinese cities exhibit varying degrees of decoupling of economic growth and CO2 emissions between 2005 and 2015

Yuli Shan et al.

Summary: The study found that from 2005 to 2015, only 11% of Chinese cities achieved strong decoupling of economic growth and emissions, while 65.6% showed weak decoupling, and 23.4% showed no decoupling. The level of economic-emission decoupling in cities is related to factors such as economic structure, emission intensity, and population size. Improving production and carbon efficiency is crucial for reducing emission intensity.
