Renewable energy investment and carbon emissions under cap-and-trade mechanisms

Wei Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impacts of cap-and-trade mechanisms on a utility firm's decisions in renewable energy investment, showing that different mechanisms can lead to varying levels of investment and carbon emissions. Properly setting carbon quotas by the government can promote emission reduction and maintain electricity demand balance.

The effects of trade openness on decoupling carbon emissions from economic growth e Evidence from 182 countries

Qiang Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that trade openness decreased carbon emissions in high-income and upper-middle-income countries, had no significant impact on lower-middle-income countries, and increased carbon emissions in low-income countries. This suggests that trade openness has a positive impact on decoupling economic growth from carbon emissions in rich countries, but has a negative impact on poor countries.

Green growth and low carbon emission in G7 countries: How critical the network of environmental taxes, renewable energy and human capital is?

Lin-Na Hao et al.

Summary: Through theoretical and empirical analysis, this study finds that green growth can reduce CO2 emissions, while environmental taxes, human capital, and renewable energy use can also decrease CO2 emissions. GDP growth has a negative impact on environmental quality, but green growth helps sustain environmental quality.

Drivers of household decarbonization: Decoupling and decomposition analysis

Litong Zhao et al.

Summary: The study found a decarbonization trend in urban areas in China, particularly showing strong decoupling during 2007-2008, while the trend was not discernible in rural areas. Significant decarbonization trends were observed in urban areas of heavily industrialized and renewables-based provinces, as well as rural areas of developed provinces.

Decoupling and decomposition analysis of residential building carbon emissions from residential income: Evidence from the provincial level in China

Tengfei Huo et al.

Summary: This study explores the decoupling relationship between residential building carbon emissions and residential income across 30 Chinese provinces from 2000 to 2015. Results show a significant change in the decoupling trend, primarily influenced by residential energy intensity and per capita income. The findings provide valuable references for international policymakers to formulate targeted carbon reduction policies.
