“…A surprise increase in the number of infections reduces the level of emissions. With this finding we are in line with Adhikari et al ( 2021 ), Asna‐ashary et al ( 2020 ), Gettelman et al, ( 2021 ), Hoang et al ( 2021 ), Kumar et al ( 2022 ), Mzoughi et al ( 2020 ), Ray et al ( 2021 ), Schulte‐Fischedick et al ( 2021 ), or Yang et al ( 2021 ). Likewise, a stricter closure policy or a tightening of restrictions to the movement of people lead to a significant fall in emissions in line with Zhang et al ( 2021 ).…”

“…The effects of COVID pandemic on emissions have been investigated extensively in environmental science. Most of these studies concentrate on CO 2 ‐emissions and find for various countries or cities that emissions decline during the COVID pandemic (Adhikari et al, 2021 ; Hoang et al, 2021 ; Kumar et al, 2022 ; Ray et al, 2021 ; Schulte‐Fischedick et al, 2021 ). Those find that the COVID pandemic has reduced CO 2 emissions.…”

In this paper, we study the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in estimated panel vector autoregression models for 92 countries. The large cross‐section of countries allows us to shed light on the heterogeneity of the responses of stock markets and nitrogen dioxide emissions as high‐frequency measures of economic activity. We quantify the effect of the number of infections and four dimensions of policy measures: (1) containment and closure, (2) movement restrictions, (3) economic support, and (4) adjustments of health systems. Our main findings show that a surprise increase in the number of infections triggers a drop in our two measures of economic activity. Propping up economic support measures, in contrast, raises stock returns and emissions and, thus, contributes to the economic recovery. We also document vast differences in the responses across subsets of countries and between the first and the second wave of infections.

“…To prevent the rapid spread of the virus, local, regional and national lockdowns at various scales have been placed into effect impacting up to 30% of the entire global population ( Baiet al, 2020 ; Lai et al, 2020 ). In consequence, the limited movement and social personal interaction as a result of such lockdowns have led to temporary closure and/or permanent shutdown of 80% of businesses which foreshadows a 0.3% decline in GDP and an imminent economic recession ( Gopinath, 2020 ; Hoang et al, 2021a ). With the majority of daily activities indoors, major adjustments are needed to accommodate new habits, social behavior, family, and work priorities.…”

Impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on the global energy system and the shift progress to renewable energy: Opportunities, challenges, and policy implications

Being declared a global emergency, the COVID-19 pandemic has taken many lives, threatened livelihoods and businesses around the world. The energy industry, in particular, has experienced tremendous pressure resulting from the pandemic. In response to such a challenge, the development of sustainable resources and renewable energy infrastructure has demonstrated its potential as a promising and effective strategy. To sufficiently address the effect of COVID-19 on renewable energy development strategies, short-term policy priorities should be identified, while mid-term and long-term action plans should be formulated in achieving the well-defined renewable energy targets and progress towards a more sustainable energy future. In this review, opportunities, challenges, and significant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on current and future sustainable energy strategies were analyzed in detail; while drawing from experiences in identifying reasonable behaviors, orientating appropriate actions, and policy implications on the sustainable energy trajectory were also mentioned. Indeed, the question is that whether the COVID-19 pandemic will kill us or provide us with a precious lesson on future sustainable energy development.

“…These include particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM 2.5 ), nitrogen and sulfur dioxides (NO 2 and SO 2 , respectively), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O 3 ). NO 2 is a primary pollutant that is mainly produced from vehicular emissions, and has therefore exhibited wide reductions during the lockdowns ( Hoang et al, 2021 ), as evident from ground-level measurements ( Berman and Ebisu, 2020 ; Zangari et al, 2020 ) and remote sensing data ( Karaer et al, 2020 ; Elshorbany et al, 2021 ). CO is also a primary pollutant, emitted directly due to combustion, that has displayed a decline in its concentrations during the lockdowns ( Chen et al, 2020 ).…”

Since early 2020, the world has faced an unprecedented pandemic caused by the novel COVID-19 virus. In this study, we characterize the impact of the lockdown associated with the pandemic on air quality in six major cities across the state of Florida, namely: Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Orlando, Tampa, and Miami. Hourly measurements of PM 2.5 , ozone, NO 2 , SO 2 , and CO were provided by the US EPA at thirty sites operated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection during mid-February to mid-April from 2015 through 2020. To analyze the effect of the pandemic, atmospheric pollutant concentrations in 2020 were compared to historic data at these cities during the same period from 2015 to 2019. Reductions in NO 2 and CO levels were observed across the state in most cities and were attributed to restrictions in mobility and the decrease in vehicle usage amid the lockdown. Likewise, decreases in O 3 concentrations were observed and were related to the prevailing NO x -limited regime during this time period. Changes in concentrations of SO 2 exhibited spatial variations, concentrations decreased in northern cities, however an increase was observed in central and southern cities, likely due to increased power generation at facilities primarily in the central and southern regions of the state. PM 2.5 levels varied temporally during the study and were positively correlated with SO 2 concentrations during the lockdown. In March, reductions in PM 2.5 levels were observed, however elevations in PM 2.5 concentrations in April were attributed to long-range transport of pollutants rather than local emissions. This study provides further insight into the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on anthropogenic sources from vehicular emissions and power generation in Florida. This work has implications for policies and regulations of vehicular emissions as well as consequences on the use of sustainable energy sources in the state.
