Wavelet analysis of impact of renewable energy consumption and technological innovation on CO2 emissions: evidence from Portugal

Tomiwa Sunday Adebayo et al.

Summary: This study utilizes wavelet analysis to reveal the dynamic interconnection between CO2 emissions and economic growth, renewable energy use, trade openness, and technological innovation in the Portuguese economy. The results show that the relationships among the indicators progress over time and frequency, with renewable energy consumption helping to reduce CO2 emissions, while economic growth, trade openness, and technological innovation contribute to CO2 emissions. Policymakers in Portugal should focus on promoting investment in renewable energy sources, implementing restrictive laws, and enhancing energy innovation to reduce CO2 emissions.

A new perspective into the impact of renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption on environmental degradation in Argentina: a time-frequency analysis

Tomiwa Sunday Adebayo et al.

Summary: This research provides a new perspective on the influence of renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption on CO2 emissions in Argentina using wavelet analysis. The findings reveal significant wavelet coherence in the frequency domain and contradictory correlations among variables in different time periods. The study suggests that in the medium and long term, renewable energy consumption supports environmental sustainability, while nonrenewable energy and economic growth contribute to environmental degradation in the short and long term.

Examining the dynamics of ecological footprint in China with spectral Granger causality and quantile-on-quantile approaches

Andrew Adewale Alola et al.

Summary: China's ecological footprint per capita is below the global average, but puts significant pressure on ecological capacity. The study found that economic growth has a positive effect on ecological footprint, as does fossil fuel and primary energy utilization, while renewable energy utilization has varied impacts on ecological footprint.

Beyond the environmental Kuznets curve: Do combined impacts of air transport and rail transport matter for environmental sustainability amidst energy use in E7 economies?

Bright Akwasi Gyamfi et al.

Summary: This study explores the combined effect of rail, air transportation, and urbanization on the environment, and finds evidence of the EKC phenomenon in E7 economies. It reveals that conventional energy and air transport have negative impacts on environmental quality, while rail transport and urbanization contribute positively to improving environmental quality. Therefore, policies that promote environmental sustainability are needed in the economic growth trajectory of the E7 economies.

Consumption-based carbon emissions, renewable energy consumption, financial development and economic growth in Chile

Dervis Kirikkaleli et al.

Summary: This study found that financial development and renewable energy consumption reduce consumption-based CO2 emissions in Chile, while economic growth and electricity consumption increase carbon emissions. Encouraging research and development of low-carbon technologies and renewable energy investments, while reducing consumption of nonrenewable energy sources, should be a focus for policymakers.

Accounting for the combined impacts of natural resources rent, income level, and energy consumption on environmental quality of G7 economies: a panel quantile regression approach

Bright Akwasi Gyamfi et al.

Summary: This study utilizes multiple empirical methods to investigate the impact of natural resource rents and energy consumption on the environmental quality of G7 economies, revealing a significant positive relationship between natural resource rents and pollution, as well as adverse and significant effects of renewable energy consumption and positive effects of fossil fuel energy consumption on carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, income levels combined with fossil fuel use strongly affect environmental degradation, while natural resource rents Granger cause clean energy consumption within the G7 countries.

The nexus between urbanization, renewable energy consumption, financial development, and CO2 emissions: evidence from selected Asian countries

Ahsan Anwar et al.

Summary: This study explores the impact of urbanization, renewable energy consumption, financial development, agriculture, and economic growth on CO2 emissions in 15 Asian economies from 1990 to 2014. The results suggest that urbanization, financial development, and economic growth increase CO2 emissions, while renewable energy consumption reduces CO2 emissions, with agriculture having an insignificant impact. The study recommends a comprehensive SDG-oriented policy framework for these economies to progress towards achieving SDG 13 and SDG 7 objectives, contributing to the literature by including economic growth and its drivers.

Environmental aspect of energy transition and urbanization in the OPEC member states

Stephen Taiwo Onifade et al.

Summary: The study finds that fossil fuel utilization has a significant positive impact on environmental degradation in the selected OPEC countries, while the negative impact of renewable energy utilization and urbanization on carbon dioxide emissions is insignificant in both the short and long run. The current energy transition policy of OPEC states is not sufficient for environmental sustainability, and the Environmental Kuznets Curve is not valid in the panel of OPEC countries. The research also shows a uni-directional causality from income level to renewable energy consumption, and urbanization strongly Granger causes fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions among the countries.

Renewables as a pathway to environmental sustainability targets in the era of trade liberalization: empirical evidence from Turkey and the Caspian countries

Stephen Taiwo Onifade et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between low-carbon emission and improved environmental quality in Turkey and the Caspian countries, using the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The findings show that an increase in renewable energy consumption significantly reduces carbon emissions, while an increase in trade openness significantly impacts environmental quality.

The relevance of EKC hypothesis in energy intensity real-output trade-off for sustainable environment in EU-27

Festus Victor Bekun et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the relationship between economic development and the environment among EU countries, finding a phenomenon where GDP growth is prioritized over environmental quality, resulting in environmental costs and consequences. While some countries have made progress in carbon reduction, the EU as a whole has not collectively made substantial efforts. Various estimators indicate that energy intensity reduces environmental quality, and there is a causal relationship between GDP growth and carbon emissions, as well as between energy intensity and carbon emissions.

Re-examining the roles of economic globalization and natural resources consequences on environmental degradation in E7 economies: Are human capital and urbanization essential components?

Stephen Taiwo Onifade et al.

Summary: The study reveals that economic globalization has a negative impact on environmental pollution in the E7 economies, while natural resources, urbanization, and economic growth contribute to pollution. Human capital helps reduce environmental pollution and mitigate the effects of growing urbanization on environmental degradation.
