Mitigating the greenhouse gas emissions from urban roadway lighting in China via energy-efficient luminaire adoption and renewable energy utilization

Yuan Chang et al.

Summary: Roadway lighting is essential for creating safe environments for drivers and pedestrians. The study shows that replacing high-pressure sodium lamps with LED lamps and using renewable energy for street lights can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with an environmentally cost-effective payback time of 1.7-7.7 years. The adoption of these energy-efficient measures can lead to an annual reduction of 21.2 million tons of CO2 equivalent in GHG emissions, with the greatest potential found in East China and prefecture-level cities achieving a 56% reduction.

Summary: This study examines the impact of public-private partnership in energy and energy efficiency on CO2 emissions in China from 1991Q1 to 2017Q4, along with other determinants such as environmental innovation, renewable energy, energy productivity, and economic growth. The results indicate that income growth and public-private partnership contribute to higher carbon emissions, while improvements in energy productivity, renewable energy, and technological innovation have a negative impact on CO2 emissions. There is a need to enhance the efficiency of public-private partnership in energy projects to reduce carbon emissions, and policymakers should focus on transitioning towards renewable energy sources through innovation and improved efficiency in all energy sources.

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.
