Can China?s aviation network development alleviate carbon lock-in?

Congyu Zhao et al.

Summary: Although operational activities in the aviation sector inevitably bring more emissions, they also reshape the structure of the regional economy, often leading to a shift from emission-heavy industries to cleaner service sectors. The overall impact of aviation network development on the region's environmental trajectory is unclear and requires rigorous empirical study. Using data from 283 Chinese prefecture-level cities, this paper calculates a comprehensive carbon lock-in index to measure cities' reliance on emission-heavy sectors and resistance to emission reduction. The empirical results suggest that an improved aviation network development helps alleviate carbon lock-in through mechanisms such as fixed input, industrial structure upgrading, and technological innovation.

Technical and economic analysis of different colours of producing hydrogen in China

Junbo Huang et al.

Summary: This paper explores different types of hydrogen production and assigns each a different color to represent a gradual reduction in pollution. The basic principles, advantages, and disadvantages of various production methods are examined at a technical level. The study concludes that coal-based hydrogen production is currently the primary method in China, while converting brown and grey hydrogen to blue and turquoise hydrogen is more economically viable as CCUS technology matures. The challenges for green hydrogen lie in electrolyzer technology and high renewable power costs, which can be addressed by increasing hydrogen production using wind and light abandonment in the short term and transitioning to renewable energy generation for clean hydrogen production in the long term. Vigorously developing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in transport are crucial for achieving carbon neutrality and ensuring a stable supply of blue and green hydrogen.

Can climate change be avoided? Vision of a hydrogen-electricity energy economy

Manfred Groll

Summary: Global warming is a critical issue extensively discussed by mankind, caused by greenhouse gases, mainly CO2, produced from our fossil fuel-based energy economy. The resulting climate change has severe consequences on the environment, such as increased frequency and intensity of natural disasters. Without keeping the average temperature rise below 1.5 K by the end of the century, climatologists predict disastrous events including a significant rise in sea level and shift of climate zones. This article presents the historical evolution of anthropogenic CO2 emissions and discusses technically feasible measures and an alternative world energy economy based on renewable energies and hydrogen/electricity as secondary energy sources. It also addresses the question of whether necessary measures can be implemented under the dominant neoliberal capitalistic system or if a dysfunctional dystopian future becomes inevitable.

Does public participation promote environmental efficiency? Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment of environmental information disclosure in China

Hua Zhang et al.

Summary: Previous literature on improving environmental efficiency has focused on the role of the government and neglected the contribution of public participation represented by environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs). This paper evaluates the effectiveness of public participation using a quasi-natural experiment generated by the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) in China. The empirical results show that environmental efficiency in cities with environmental information disclosure improves by 21.11% compared to cities without such disclosure. However, this improvement diminishes in the long-term. The study also demonstrates that controlling pollutant emissions is the main mechanism for enhancing environmental efficiency. Moreover, the effects of public participation are more prominent in eastern, developed, large, and non-resource-based cities. These findings highlight the importance of public participation in green development and provide empirical evidence for a diversified environmental governance system.

Summary: The study found that the environmental efficiency of public building industries in China is generally low, with spatial characteristics showing higher levels in the east compared to the west, and higher levels in the south compared to the north. Measures such as increasing the proportion of the tertiary industry, promoting per capita GDP growth, increasing the share of electricity in energy consumption, and attracting foreign investment can enhance environmental efficiency, while urban population growth may decrease efficiency. Additionally, there is a noticeable spatial spillover effect in the environmental efficiency of the public building sector.

Investment equilibrium of an integrated multi-stakeholder electricity-gas-hydrogen system

Guangsheng Pan et al.

Summary: The coordinated planning and operation of electric power and natural gas systems significantly contribute to the integration of renewables and decarbonization of energy systems. A proposed investment equilibrium model for an integrated electricity-gas-hydrogen system considers electricity, gas, and hydrogen energy trading to maximize stakeholder profit. Two trading mechanisms with different energy prices are compared, with a focus on locational marginal energy prices (LMEPs)-based trading providing the highest overall benefit for multiple stakeholders.

The impact of hydrogen refueling station subsidy strategy on China's hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market diffusion

Zhi Li et al.

Summary: This study combines agent-based model and experience weighted attraction learning algorithm to explore the impact of government subsidy strategy for hydrogen refueling stations on the market diffusion of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The new model suggests that dynamic subsidy mode based on EWA algorithm yields better results than static subsidy mode, and choosing an appropriate initial subsidy strategy can significantly increase the sales of HFCVs. Early investment from government can also greatly improve market diffusion efficiency.

Quantifying the impacts of energy inequality on carbon emissions in China: A household-level analysis

Yue Dou et al.

Summary: This study empirically examines the impact of energy inequality on household CO2 emissions in China using a balanced panel dataset for China's 30 provinces from 2000-2017. The findings suggest that energy inequality can positively affect household CO2 emissions, but this contradicts the actual trends in China. However, narrowing energy inequality is found to reduce the growth rate of CO2 emissions, with the impact of energy inequality being asymmetric across different quantiles.

Financial development, openness, innovation, carbon emissions, and economic growth in China

Guangchen Li et al.

Summary: This study, based on balanced panel data of 30 Chinese provinces from 1987 to 2017, explores the impact of carbon emissions on economic growth through a panel smooth transition regression model. The empirical results reveal significant non-linear relationships between carbon emissions, financial development, openness, innovation, and economic growth. It also shows that carbon emissions attenuate the promoting effects of financial development and innovation on economic growth, with differences in impact between the northern and southern regions.

Can agglomeration of producer services reduce urban-rural income inequality? The case of China

Jun Zhao et al.

Summary: The study shows that agglomeration of producer services can directly reduce urban-rural income inequality in China, while also indirectly decreasing income inequality by promoting urbanization and human capital accumulation. Among the six sub-industries, the agglomeration of traffic, transport, storage, and post has the greatest impact, while information transfer, computer services, and software agglomeration have less significant effects. Regional heterogeneity results indicate bidirectional causality between APS and income inequality only in low APS regions.

How does fiscal decentralization affect CO2 emissions? The roles of institutions and human capital

Zeeshan Khan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of fiscal decentralization on CO2 emissions and finds that fiscal decentralization has a positive effect on environmental quality, which is further strengthened by improvements in institutional quality and human capital. The results also show that there are one-way effects from fiscal decentralization, GDP, human capital, eco-innovation, and institutional quality on CO2 emissions, with weaker reverse effects.
