A computable general equilibrium (CGE) assessment of technological progress and carbon pricing in India's green energy transition via furthering its renewable capacity

Basanta K. Pradhan et al.

Summary: This paper uses a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model to assess the effect of coal cess and technological progress on achieving a target of 40% electric power generation from non-fossil fuel based energy resources by 2030 in India. The study finds that endogenous technological change in renewables, along with the coal cess, can help achieve the low carbon target and bring economic gains. The coal cess can facilitate the shift towards a low carbon economy by reducing the relative prices of non-fossil fuel energy and providing finance for R&D in renewables. Advancements in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology can also contribute to emission reduction at a lower economic cost. Thus, policy focus on R&D in energy technologies and carbon pricing is crucial for India's low carbon growth.

How will sectoral coverage in the carbon trading system affect the total oil consumption in China? A CGE-based analysis

Hong-Dian Jiang et al.

Summary: The increasing oil demand in China has brought negative issues including energy security risk, carbon emissions, and air pollution. It is crucial to rationally control oil consumption and achieve peak as soon as possible for national energy security, climate change, and environmental pollution. This study evaluates the socio-economic and environmental effects of including different high oil-consuming industries in the emission trading system (ETS), and finds that including the Chemical, Non-Metal, Transportation, and Construction industries has the best overall effect.

The impact of China's western development strategy on energy conservation and emission reduction

Chunji Zheng et al.

Summary: Promoting energy conservation and emission reduction is crucial for achieving green and sustainable economic development worldwide. Research shows that China's Western Development Strategy (WDS) significantly promotes energy conservation and emission reduction through mechanisms such as technological innovation and easing capital mismatch. The impact of WDS is more significant in regions with advanced financial development and infrastructure.

The impact of energy efficiency on carbon emissions: Evidence from the transportation sector in Chinese 30 provinces

Rongrong Li et al.

Summary: Emissions from the transport sector contribute significantly to China's carbon emissions. This study examines the carbon emissions from the transportation industry in 30 Chinese provinces from 2005 to 2019 and finds that energy efficiency and urbanization have a limited inhibitory effect on carbon emissions compared to the promoting effect of income growth, private vehicles, and cargo turnover. Considering the nonlinear effects of carbon emissions is crucial for developing more effective policies to curb emissions in the transport sector.

Exploration in carbon emission reduction effect of low-carbon practices in prefabricated building supply chain

Xiaoyan Wang et al.

Summary: This paper explores the implementation effects of low-carbon practices in the prefabricated building supply chain using a game-based system dynamics model. The results demonstrate that low-carbon practices can effectively mitigate carbon emissions while improving profits for participants. The study highlights the importance of increasing developers' environmental awareness and the continuous promotion of prefabrication for enhancing the effects of low-carbon practices. It also suggests that carbon taxes may not always stimulate the implementation of low-carbon practices, particularly in the initial development stage of prefabricated buildings. This research is significant for PBSC members in adopting low-carbon practices and for government in formulating prospective carbon-reduction policies.

Assessing the role of environmental regulations in improving energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions: Evidence from the logistics industry

Bin Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence mechanism of incentive and mandatory environmental regulations on energy efficiency and CO2 emissions in the logistics industry. Using quantile regression and panel data from 30 provinces in China, the research finds that incentive environmental regulations have a greater contribution to CO2 emission reduction in certain provinces, while mandatory environmental regulations have a varied impact on CO2 emission reduction and energy efficiency depending on the provinces.

Estimating transportation carbon efficiency (TCE) across the Belt and Road Initiative countries: An integrated approach of modified three-stage epsilon-based measurement model

Qiang Du et al.

Summary: Transportation systems are crucial for intercountry connections, but the industry is linked to high energy consumption and carbon emissions. This study analyzed the transportation carbon efficiency (TCE) and carbon emission reduction potential (CERP) across Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries from 2005 to 2017. The results showed that countries with higher income levels tend to have higher TCE, and customized low-carbon policies are proposed to enhance TCE and reduce emissions based on environmental factors and current CERP trends.

Assessing economic benefits of transport projects using an integrated transport-CGE approach

Siroos Shahirari et al.

Summary: The paper highlights the limitations of the commonly used cost benefit analysis approach in assessing transportation projects, and suggests the computable general equilibrium framework as an alternative method to address some of these limitations. Additionally, the importance of considering the behavioral aspects of the transport system is emphasized for more accurate planning and reflection of essential properties.

Impact of energy structure on carbon emission and economy of China in the scenario of carbon taxation

Jia Liu et al.

Summary: China, as the world's largest CO2 emitter, aims to achieve the peak of carbon emissions around 2030. Research indicates that implementing a carbon tax policy can help China achieve the win-win goal of reducing carbon emissions and GDP growth, with the recommendation of setting the tax rate at a low level to minimize economic impact.

How do corruption and energy efficiency affect the carbon emission performance of China's industrial sectors?

Yu Pei et al.

Summary: Existing research on the relationship among corruption, energy efficiency, and industrial carbon emissions is limited. This study found that corruption can enhance carbon emissions, while energy efficiency facilitates carbon emission reduction, with energy efficiency playing a mediating role in the relationship. Further research is needed to explore these dynamics in different regions and to inform policy recommendations for carbon emissions reduction.

Yupeng Fu et al.

Summary: This study found that a carbon tax of 18.37 to 38.25 Yuan/ton is a reasonable policy alternative for China, and that stepped carbon tax is more effective than conventional carbon tax policy. The positive effects on reducing carbon emission intensity can be strengthened by increasing the step range.

Winners and losers: the distributional impacts of a carbon tax in Brazil

Maria Alice Moz-Christofoletti et al.

Summary: This study examines the short-term welfare and emission effects of an economy-wide carbon tax on Brazilian households. The results show that the carbon tax is effective in reducing emissions in the short run, but imposes welfare losses, especially on the poor. Therefore, considering compensation mechanisms is critical when designing this type of environmental tax.

Optimizing carbon tax rates and revenue recycling schemes: Model development, and a case study for the Bohai Bay area, China

Yuanyuan Sun et al.

Summary: This study explores the impact of carbon tax rate and tax revenue recycling shares on the economy and carbon emissions through a computable general equilibrium model. A nonlinear optimization model is proposed to optimize both steps of carbon taxation synchronously, aiming to promote GDP and CO2 emission reduction. The optimized taxation scheme, applied in the Bohai Bay area in China, leads to lower carbon emissions and greater economic growth, showcasing a strong double dividend with cleaner air and energy structures.
