Factors influencing embodied carbon emissions of China's building sector: An analysis based on extended STIRPAT modeling

Chen Zhu et al.

Summary: This study examines the influencing factors of embodied carbon emissions (EC) in China's building sector and provides guidance for the country's greenhouse gas mitigation strategy. The results show that building construction area and indirect emission intensity have the greatest impact on EC and indirect EC, while total factor productivity and energy intensity also play important roles. Additionally, technical factors have both positive and negative effects, and rebound effects exist in the building construction sector. Therefore, controlling building scale, reducing building material supplyside emission, improving technology, and preventing rebound are key to alleviating building EC.

The marginal impacts of energy prices on carbon price variations: Evidence from a quantile-on-quantile approach

Kun Duan et al.

Summary: In Phase III of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS), energy prices have asymmetric and negative impacts on carbon prices, with stronger effects at lower carbon quantiles. The impacts of different energy sources vary, with oil and coal prices showing increasing effects with rising carbon quantiles, while gas prices have a relatively flat pattern. This differential carbon price-response indicates non-unique carbon market dynamics that require differentiated policy interventions.
