Qingquan Jiang et al.

Summary: Energy and green innovation are crucial for economic progress, but the negative impacts of increased pollution cannot be ignored. This study empirically examines the effects of environment-related technologies, coal consumption, economic growth, and population density on consumption-based CO2 emissions in the BRICS countries. The results show that environment-related technologies have a negative impact on CO2 emissions, while per capita GDP and coal consumption have a positive impact. Therefore, encouraging the use of environment-related technologies to reduce CO2 emissions is important for the long-term sustainability of BRICS countries.

Examining the role of nuclear and renewable energy in reducing carbon footprint: Does the role of technological innovation really create some difference?

Muhammad Usman et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of nuclear energy, technological innovations, renewable energy, non-renewable energy, and natural resources on carbon footprint in countries with the highest nuclear energy production. The findings indicate that nuclear and renewable energy consumption positively contribute to environmental excellence, while technological innovations and non-renewable energy negatively affect environmental sustainability. Natural resources also have an adverse role in the long run. The causality test reveals a unidirectional causality from carbon footprint to nuclear energy, and bidirectional causality between technological innovations, renewables, non-renewables, and natural resources with carbon footprint.
