Decomposition and decoupling analysis of carbon dioxide emissions in electricity generation by primary fossil fuels in Turkey

Ali Can Ozdemir

Summary: Reducing the use of fossil fuels is crucial for decreasing carbon dioxide emissions, but the majority of electricity still relies on fossil fuels. This study analyzed Turkey's CO2 emissions from electricity generation using decomposition and decoupling analyses. The results revealed that economic activity was the main contributor to emissions, while factors such as population and energy intensity had negative impacts. The study also found that weak decoupling was the most common state, except for the last 5 years. It is recommended to develop new energy policies that promote the use of non-fossil fuels.

Carbon and energy intensity of the USA and Germany. A LMDI decomposition approach and decoupling analysis

Eleni Koilakou et al.

Summary: This study investigates the driving factors leading to energy and carbon intensity in the economies of the USA and Germany. The research finds that energy intensity plays a leading role in CO2 emissions, followed by income and energy mix as important factors, with population trend being an additional factor only in the USA.

Future outlook and influencing factors analysis of natural gas consumption in Bangladesh: An economic and policy perspectives

Muhammad Yousaf Raza et al.

Summary: The study investigates the relationship between gas consumption share, energy intensity, economic structure share, per capita gross domestic value, and population at the sectorial level from 1994 to 2020. The factors are analyzed through decomposition analysis, decoupling method, and ratio decomposition. The results show that economic activity is the main driving factor for gas consumption, while energy intensity plays a vital role in gas consumption efficiency. The study also identifies different decoupling states and sectors with weak decoupling. Finally, scenarios analysis predicts higher GDP and energy conservation in the future.

Can China achieve its 2030 and 2060 CO2 commitments? Scenario analysis based on the integration of LEAP model with LMDI decomposition

Yimin Huang et al.

Summary: China's targets of peaking CO2 emissions by 2030 and reaching carbon neutrality by 2060 have been discussed internationally. This study uses the LMDI decomposition method and the LEAP model to assess China's CO2 emissions from 2000 to 2060. Different scenarios based on the SSPs framework were designed to understand the impact of development pathways on energy consumption and emissions. The findings show that energy intensity, economic development level, and urbanization are key factors influencing CO2 emissions, with different scenarios suggesting varying success in meeting target goals.

Economic development, technological progress, and provincial carbon emissions intensity: empirical research based on the threshold panel model

Yue Ming Zheng et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that technological progress has an impact on carbon emission intensity, with the effect varying depending on the economic development level. When the economic development level is below a certain threshold, technological progress increases carbon emission intensity; when it exceeds the threshold, there is a reduction in carbon emission intensity.

Factor decomposition and the decoupling effect of carbon emissions in China's manufacturing high-emission subsectors

Jian Liu et al.

Summary: The manufacturing industry makes the greatest contribution to China's carbon emissions, so reducing emissions among its high-emission subsectors is important to achieve China's overall reduction goals. Innovation is crucial to the green transformation and development of high-emission subsectors.

Is electricity consumption of Chinese counties decoupled from carbon emissions? A study based on Tapio decoupling index

Fengqi Liu et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the relationship between electricity consumption and CO2 emissions in over 600 Chinese counties from 2009 to 2016 using the Tapio decoupling index. The results show that more counties decoupled their electricity consumption from CO2 emissions in 2016 than in 2009. The study also finds that poverty-stricken counties are more likely to decouple electricity consumption from CO2 emissions.

Inter-regional ecological compensation in the Yellow River Basin based on the value of ecosystem services

Zixuan Zhou et al.

Summary: This study assesses the value of ecosystem services in the Yellow River Basin by evaluating land-use changes from 2010 to 2020. The findings show that the total value of ecosystem services increased during this period and grasslands had the highest value. The priority of ecological compensation is positively correlated with the value of ecosystem services and negatively correlated with the economic development level.

City-level emission peak and drivers in China

Yuli Shan et al.

Summary: China's increasing role in global climate change mitigation is highlighted in this study, which provides comprehensive CO2 emission inventories for 287 Chinese cities from 2001 to 2019. The study reveals the emission trends and driving forces in these cities, showing that some cities have proactively peaked their emissions through efficiency improvements and energy use changes, while others passively decreased emissions through economic recession or population loss. The study emphasizes the need for passively emission declined cities to address the reasons behind emission decline and utilize low-carbon targets for economic recovery and carbon mitigation. Proactively peaked cities should seek strategies to maintain emission reductions and serve as successful models for cities with growing emissions.

Decoupling economic growth from energy-related PM2.5 emissions in China: A GDIM-based indicator decomposition

Bolin Yu et al.

Summary: The study found that the increase in PM2.5 emissions is mainly due to the output scale effect and energy use effect, while the emission intensity effect and emission coefficient effect primarily contribute to decreasing PM2.5 emissions. China and its three economic regions shifted from strong decoupling in 1998-2000 to weak decoupling in 2000-2010, and then back to strong decoupling from 2010-2014. The technical effect plays a key role in promoting decoupling, but its contribution is decreasing over time.

The nexuses between energy investments, technological innovations, emission taxes, and carbon emissions in China

Qiang Ma et al.

Summary: This paper analyzed the impacts of emission taxes, investments in the energy sector, expenditure on research and development, technological innovation, and tertiary sector development on Chinese provincial carbon dioxide emission figures between 1995 and 2019. The study found that provincial growth and tertiary sector development exacerbated carbon dioxide emissions, while higher energy investments, technological innovation, renewable energy use, expenditure on research and development, and carbon emission taxes mitigated carbon dioxide emissions. Policy-level recommendations were made based on the findings.
