Do nuclear energy and renewable energy surge environmental quality in the United States? New insights from novel bootstrap Fourier Granger causality in quantiles approach

Mustafa Tevfik Kartal et al.

Summary: With the growing discussion on climate change mitigation, transitioning to clean energy is a critical challenge. This study evaluates the impact of nuclear and renewable energy consumption on ecological quality, measured by carbon dioxide emissions, ecological footprint, and load capacity factor, considering the role of financial development and economic growth. Using a novel approach, the empirical results show that nuclear energy, renewable energy, and financial development contribute to ecological improvement, while economic growth negatively affects ecological quality in higher quantiles. These findings emphasize the importance of government measures that support the transition to nuclear energy and ecological sustainability for better environmental quality.

Environmental perspectives on the impacts of trade and natural resources on renewable energy utilization in Sub-Sahara Africa: Accounting for FDI, income, and urbanization trends

Liu Dingru et al.

Summary: Trade has played a crucial role in the economic prosperity of resource-rich Sub-Saharan African states, but the environmental impacts of trading activities need to be considered for achieving environmental sustainability alongside economic growth. This study examines the effects of trade and natural resources on renewable energy consumption in the region and finds that trade openness and urbanization have significant negative impacts, while income level and foreign direct investment (FDI) have significant positive effects. Policy frameworks are needed to attract FDI and promote clean energy consumption while preventing regional pollution havens.

Synthesizing urbanization and carbon emissions in Africa: how viable is environmental sustainability amid the quest for economic growth in a globalized world?

Savas Erdogan et al.

Summary: Global emission statistics show that Africa has low carbon emissions. However, the rising economic growth driven by urbanization and globalization has raised concerns about environmental risks in Africa. This study examines the impacts of urbanization and energy portfolios on the environment in 15 selected African countries. The results suggest that urbanization, economic globalization, and income levels contribute to environmental degradation, with fossil energy consumption having the most detrimental impact. The study supports the EKC conjecture and highlights the importance of investing in green energy technologies to achieve sustainable development goals.

How financial inclusion affects the collaborative reduction of pollutant and carbon emissions: The case of China

Muhammad Shahbaz et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of financial inclusion on pollutant and carbon emissions in 30 Chinese provinces from 2011 to 2017. The results show that financial inclusion plays a role in reducing pollutant emissions, regardless of geographical location. However, its impact on carbon emissions is asymmetric and varies across different regions. The study also highlights the indirect effects of financial inclusion, such as through energy consumption and the renewable energy sector, on the reduction of pollutant and carbon emissions.

Energy innovations and pathway to carbon neutrality in Finland

Andrew Adewale Alola et al.

Summary: Finland is determined to maintain its status as a low-carbon and clean energy technology country by phasing out coal energy and reducing the utilization of fossil oil by half by 2030. This study analyzes the environmental effects of Finland's disaggregated energy mix with and without environmental technologies. The results show that the deployment of environmental technologies in coal energy development leads to significant environmental costs, while innovations in oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy sources can provide environmental benefits. Without environmental technologies, the utilization of disaggregated energy forms will continue to be an environmental challenge. The study also finds that the independent deployment of environmental technologies can mitigate carbon emissions in the long run.

Summary: The activities of micro small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are crucial for combating unemployment and achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Nigeria. Financial constraints and infrastructural deficits are significant challenges that hinder the success of MSMEs. The study reveals that MSMEs' contributions to GDP in various economic sectors have a significant impact on reducing unemployment in Nigeria. However, the cost of accessing credit by MSMEs exacerbates unemployment, while government infrastructure investments have an insignificant effect on reducing unemployment.

Environmental aspect of energy transition and urbanization in the OPEC member states

Stephen Taiwo Onifade et al.

Summary: The study finds that fossil fuel utilization has a significant positive impact on environmental degradation in the selected OPEC countries, while the negative impact of renewable energy utilization and urbanization on carbon dioxide emissions is insignificant in both the short and long run. The current energy transition policy of OPEC states is not sufficient for environmental sustainability, and the Environmental Kuznets Curve is not valid in the panel of OPEC countries. The research also shows a uni-directional causality from income level to renewable energy consumption, and urbanization strongly Granger causes fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions among the countries.
