The study examines the effect of economic complexity on carbon dioxide emissions in the Next 11 countries with the view to validate or refute the economic complexity-Kuznets curve (EcKC) between 1995 and 2019. The Next 11 countries include Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, ...
Moreover, clean energy stations with Chinese investments have taken off in both Kazakhstan and Mali. The Zhanatas Wind Farm in Kazakhstan generates 350 million kWh of clean electricity annually, equivalent to saving 109,500 tons of standard coal and cutting carbon emissions by 289,000 tons every ...
Carbon dioxide acts as a simple asphyxiant; in other words, as CO2 levels in a closed room rise, carbon dioxidereplaces the oxygen your body needs. When your body can't get oxygen, it slows down and does not function properly. Because carbon dioxide is an asphyxiant, it mostly affects ...
Agriculture is becoming a substantial contributor to carbon emissions in China, and the efficient reduction of agricultural carbon emissions (ACEs) has become a universal concern. Currently, the digital transformation of agriculture (DTA) provides a new
years. However, if everyone’s emissions matched those of the richest 1%, the carbon budget would be used up in under five months. And if everyone started emitting as much carbon as the private jets and superyachts of the average billionaire in Oxfam’s study, it would ...
Moreover, some less competitive enterprises may not be able to afford the high cost of carbon emissions. Thus, it drives the transformation and upgrading of industrial structures at the macro level. The upgrading of industrial structure means the transformation of cities from capital- and labor-...
highlighted AI’s critical role in environmental improvement, enhancing energy efficiency, and fostering clean technology use. Conversely, others (Wang et al.,2022a) found that AI agglomeration has increased carbon emissions, as AI systems generally require substantial computational resources and energy....
The faster pace of industrial sector decarbonization in Net Zero relative to Current Trajectory is supported by several factors, including greater use of lower carbon power, various efficiency measures, and reduced methane emissions. Read more The greater electrification of road transport largely a...
We examine the above question by studying whether mutual fund managers reduce holdings in firms that produce higher carbon emissions when the air quality in their local areas is poor. We capture a fund manager’s exposure to air pollution using the air quality index (AQI), which is measured ...
Nuclear power has been called a clean source of energy because the power plants do not release carbon dioxide. While this is true, it is deceiving. Nuclear power plants may not emit carbon dioxide during operation, but high amounts of carbon dioxide are emitted in activities related to buildin...
