Eating local and in-season fruits and vegetables: Carbon-water-employment trade-offs and synergies

Luis-Antonio Lopez et al.

Summary: Research suggests that consumption decisions in rich regions like Spain, regarding local and seasonal fruits and vegetables, may lead to conflicts between environmental goals and social development in developing countries. Inter-country trade of fruits and vegetables can create negative environmental impacts, and replacing imports with local production may result in significant job losses in developing nations.

Minimum marginal abatement cost curves (Mini-MAC) for CO2 emissions reduction planning

Mohammad Lameh et al.

Summary: To address the limitations in current methods for strategic planning of CO2 emissions reduction, a simple and clear methodology is proposed that effectively determines minimum cost CO2 reduction pathways using an algebraic targeting technique to generate Mini-MAC curves. The application of this methodology demonstrates its benefits in developing low-cost emissions reduction strategies, considering options such as CCUS, power shifting, and negative emissions technologies. The clarity and richness of the Mini-MAC curves enable planners to easily understand and assess available low-cost pathways for reducing CO2 emissions.

Price and scale effects of China's carbon emission trading system pilots on emission reduction

Qingyang Wu

Summary: This paper evaluates the CO2 reduction effect of China's emission trading scheme (ETS) pilot markets by analyzing the impact of transaction price and volume on CO2 reduction. The findings suggest that increasing transaction price and expanding transaction volume have a significant influence on CO2 reduction. Rising transaction price can effectively reduce CO2 emissions by improving energy structure transition, while the expansion of transaction volume may drive emission reduction through optimization of industrial structure and the development of ICT. Additionally, the paper identifies synergistic effects among different types of pollutants.

The cost-effectiveness of agricultural greenhouse gas reduction under diverse carbon policies in China

Kai Tang et al.

Summary: This study assesses the cost-effectiveness of China's agricultural GHG reduction under diverse carbon policies. The results indicate that no significant improvement had been achieved in terms of agricultural GHG reduction in China during 2008-2017. The country's agricultural sector could reduce 20-40% GHG emissions with a mean value of 31%. The average MAC for the whole country is 4,656 yuan/ton CO(2)e during 2008-2017.

Market incentives, carbon quota allocation and carbon emission reduction: Evidence from China's carbon trading pilot policy

Beibei Shi et al.

Summary: China has established a carbon trading market to reduce carbon emissions by allocating carbon quotas among different enterprises and regions. This study analyzed the effectiveness of China's carbon trading pilot policy and found that it not only reduced regional carbon emissions but also inhibited per capita carbon dioxide emissions with long-term effects. The reduction effect varied across regions and was more significant in areas with higher carbon emission density and stronger legal supervision. The allocation of carbon quotas and the carbon trading price were key factors influencing carbon emission reduction.

Urban carbon emission intensity under emission trading system in a developing economy: evidence from 273 Chinese cities

Kai Tang et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of China's pilot carbon trading markets on cities' carbon intensity, finding that the emission trading system significantly decreased carbon intensity in pilot cities and the reduction effect increased over time. The system achieved this through increasing the proportion of tertiary industry output value in GDP and decreasing energy intensity.

Environmental regulation, green technology innovation, and industrial structure upgrading: The road to the green transformation of Chinese cities

Summary: The study finds that the impact of environmental regulation on green technology innovation and industrial structure is related to economic development levels, with a low economic development level potentially inhibiting green technology innovation, but having an insignificant impact on industrial structure upgrading; as economic development levels grow, the impact of environmental regulation on green technology innovation and industrial structure weakens; when economic development levels are high, environmental regulation significantly promotes green technology innovation and industrial structure upgrading.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of the new-type urbanization strategy proposed by the Chinese government on energy intensity in 193 Chinese cities. Results show that the new-type urbanization has a significant energy-saving effect, especially in resource-rich areas. Economic agglomeration, industrial structure, and technological progress are identified as important transmission channels through which the new-type urbanization affects energy intensity.

Summary: This paper evaluates the effectiveness and heterogeneity of China's pilot ETS, the first of its kind in a developing economy. The results show that the pilot ETS effectively reduces carbon emissions in pilot industries, with substantial heterogeneity in effects across different provinces and industries. The reduction in emissions is attributed to technological innovation and industrial restructuring. Policy implications include considering a national ETS and differentiated carbon quotas for different regions and industries.

The Potential Impact of the US Carbon Capture and Storage Tax Credit Expansion on the Economic Feasibility of Industrial Carbon Capture and Storage

Brittany Tarufelli et al.

Summary: With the expansion of the 45Q tax credit program in early 2018, the financial incentive for industrial carbon capture and storage has increased to $50 per tonne of CO2. In some industrial systems, the costs of capturing, transporting, and storing one tonne of CO2 is less than $50, suggesting potential economic benefits. However, the $50 tax credit alone may not be sufficient to drive significant changes in the management of most industrial CO2 emissions.

Decomposing CO2 emission changes in thermal power sector: A modified production-theoretical approach

Bai-Chen Xie et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a modified PDA model under the assumption of semi-disposability to decompose the carbon emission changes of China's thermal power generation sector. Provinces along the east coast of China have the highest non-disposal degrees during the study period. The growth in installed capacity is identified as the largest contributor to the increase in national carbon emissions, while the decrease in capacity utilization rate significantly benefits the carbon emission reduction.

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.

How does a carbon tax affect Britain's power generation composition?

John Atherton et al.

Summary: The study examines the impact of different carbon tax rates on Britain's power generation composition using a regional, geospatial model. The transition from coal to CCGT generated power is observed, with the regional model showing a wider window for this transition compared to the nationally aggregated model. More than 50% of the transition to CCGT occurs before it becomes more economical than coal from a national perspective due to regional differences in demand and technology types.

Summary: Industrial agglomeration has complex impacts on urban CO2 emissions, including scale effect, composition effect, and technique effect. The influence of agglomeration on CO2 emissions varies by region, with the technique and composition effects offsetting the scale effect in eastern cities, while the scale effect being more prominent in central and western cities. China's regional development programs have affected the environmental efficiency gains from industrial agglomeration.
