Achieving 1.5 °C and net-zero emissions target: The role of renewable energy and financial development

Emma Serwaa Obobisa

Summary: This study investigates the role of renewable energy and financial development in reducing CO2 emissions and achieving net-zero carbon emissions. The findings show that renewable energy consumption reduces CO2 emissions, while fossil fuel energy consumption increases CO2 emissions. Financial development has a different impact on CO2 emissions in different regions and there is a bidirectional causal relationship between financial development and CO2 emissions.

Accelerating the energy transition to achieve carbon neutrality

Lizette De la Pena et al.

Summary: The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy systems is crucial for developing countries to achieve carbon neutrality and address energy security issues. In the case of Mexico, gradual and rapid transition scenarios have been developed, with the latter showing potential for reducing CO2 emissions and moving closer to carbon neutrality by 2050. The study emphasizes the importance of prioritizing renewable energy sources, energy efficiency improvements, and coal phase-out to align with global efforts in combating climate change.

The race to zero emissions: Can renewable energy be the path to carbon neutrality?

Xi Yuan et al.

Summary: This article investigates the role of renewable energy (RE) in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a rolling-window Granger causality test. The study finds that the negative impact of RE on CO2 emissions indicates its increasing potential as a replacement for traditional energy sources. These results align with the energy-environment model, demonstrating the excellent performance of RE in achieving carbon neutrality.

The role of clean energy, fossil fuel consumption and trade openness for carbon neutrality in China

Binlin Li et al.

Summary: This study explores the relationships between CO2 emissions, real GDP, clean energy, fossil fuel consumption, and trade openness in China from 1992 to 2020. The findings confirm the existence of long-term equilibrium cointegration and support the validity of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC). The study highlights the positive impact of clean energy consumption on environmental quality and suggests reinforcing environmental policies and encouraging clean energy use to achieve carbon neutrality.

Effect of foreign direct investment on CO2emission with the role of globalization, institutional quality with pooled mean group panel ARDL

Jian-Zhou Teng et al.

Summary: The study found that renewable energy consumption helps reduce environmental degradation, while foreign direct investment, electricity consumption, economic growth, and institutional quality have a positive impact on environmental degradation. Globalization has an adverse and significant impact on environmental degradation in the long run, while it has a positive impact on environmental degradation in the short term.

White knights, or horsemen of the apocalypse? Prospects for Big Oil to align emissions with a 1.5 °C pathway

Dario Kenner et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the top four investor-owned companies by size of GHG emissions and finds that they have been slow in decarbonizing and shifting towards low-carbon technologies, rather focusing on slowing down the low-carbon transition. It is unlikely that executives at these companies will proactively decarbonize in line with climate science, necessitating further external pressure, particularly from governments.

Effect of institutional quality and renewable energy consumption on CO2 emissions-an empirical investigation for developing countries

Anasuya Haldar et al.

Summary: The study finds that institutional quality plays a crucial role in moderating the impact of energy consumption on CO2 emissions, strengthening its effectiveness in reducing carbon emissions. Furthermore, the combined influence of institutional quality and sector-wise energy consumption has a significant negative impact on emissions reduction. Therefore, improving institutional quality and increasing renewable energy consumption are key to achieving long-term climate goals.

Is institutional pressure the mother of green innovation? Examining the moderating effect of absorptive capacity

Guoyou Qi et al.

Summary: Industrial development's excessive consumption of natural resources has prompted scholars to focus on firms' environmental impact. In response to environmental pressures, many firms are integrating green innovation into their business strategies. This study examines the role of institutional pillars and absorptive capacity on firms' green innovation decisions, highlighting the significant effect of absorptive capacity on the relationship between institutional pressures and green technology innovation.

Does exports diversification and environmental innovation achieve carbon neutrality target of OECD economies?

Najaf Iqbal et al.

Summary: Achieving carbon neutrality is crucial for both developed and developing countries, with strategies such as export diversification and eco-innovation playing significant roles. The study suggests that export diversification and fiscal decentralization may increase carbon emissions, while renewable energy consumption and environmental-related technological innovation ensure environmental improvements. Short-term causal links were found running from fiscal decentralization, export diversification, and environmental-related technological innovation to carbon emissions.

Impact of energy intensity, renewable energy, and economic growth on CO2 emissions: Evidence from Africa across regions and income levels

J. P. Namahoro et al.

Summary: This study empirically examined the long-term impact of energy intensity, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth on CO2 emissions across regions and income levels over 50 African countries from 1980 to 2018. The findings revealed that renewable energy consumption contributed to mitigating CO2 emissions, while energy intensity promoted emissions across regions and income levels, and at the African level. Economic growth affected CO2 emissions negatively at the African level but the effect was mixed across regions and income levels. The study also found bi-directional causations between CO2 emissions and its determinants in African, and some regions and income levels, with unidirectional causation highly supported across regions and income levels. Impulse response and variance decomposition analysis showed that both energy intensity and economic growth counted higher variations of CO2 emissions, while renewable energy highly contributed to reducing emissions within 10 years.
