“…Melanee et al (2022) test public support for the energy transition in the fossil fuel extraction economy and found that most participants explicitly support energy transition. Guilhot (2022) examines energy policy in China between 1981 and 2020, he suggests that the Chinese government's low-carbon energy transition since 2011 relating to energy transition cannot be considered sustainable. Barrera et al (2022) examine the macroeconomic barriers to energy transition in peripheral economies that face multiple obstacles to expanding renewable energy.…”

Transition to energy‐efficient and clean transportation system in Nigeria: Evidence from transportation fuels demand analysis

The demand for oil in Nigeria has grown significantly during the last four decades with an annual average growth rate of 5.4% from 1973 to 2019. The 1973 and subsequent global oil shocks brought a large influx of petrodollar revenue to Nigeria, which led to an unprecedented rise in individual incomes. The oil-driven revenues also encourage the Nigerian government to move from market-based pricing of petroleum products to a subsidy-based pricing policy. These two factors brought a complete change in individual lifestyles, particularly regarding the choice of means of transportation in Nigeria. Additionally, factors such as population growth, urbanisation boom in construction activities and smuggling of highly subsidised products to energy-deficient neighbouring countries also add to the problem.Accordingly, the vehicle stocks enlarged by more than tenfold within the last four decades; leading to an increase in oil demand in Nigeria. Consequently, oil consumption raised from 16,000 b/d in 1960 to 35,000 b/d in 1980 to 446,000 b/d in 2019 (OPEC, 2020). The problem is compounded by the provision of subsidies on oil products; annually government spends about 4% of GDP on petroleum subsidies. These factors encourage inefficiency and cross-border smuggling. However, the country relies heavily upon the road transport system, with insignificant rail networks and an inefficient air transport system.

“…The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed a legal system and policy guidelines to accelerate the establishment of a green economic system . In this context, industrial policy, as an important driver in promoting industrial structure transformation and economic efficiency, has played an important role in effectively guiding governments to promote market mechanisms and economic structure reform (Guilhot 2022). Green industrial policy is an industrial policy with environmental objectives that aims to promote the coordinated development of the environment and industry (Li and Ding 2022).…”

Green industrial policy is an important means to achieve coordinated development of the environment and industry. Enterprises are the primary bodies involved in the green transformation of the market. Thus, it is important for governments and policymakers to recognize the micro-effects of policy implementation on enterprise innovation. From the perspective of the green-tech innovation motivation of enterprises, this study distinguishes green enterprises using text mining analysis methods. Based on propensity score matching (PSM) samples and using panel data from 1,391 listed enterprises in China for the period of 2008–2019, a log log survival analysis model was constructed, and the effectiveness of green industrial policy on the green-tech innovation constancy of enterprises was dynamically analyzed. The results demonstrate that enterprises supported by the green industrial policy can significantly reduce the risk rate of stopping green-tech innovation constancy. Green industrial policy can significantly improve the constancy of the green technological innovation capabilities of enterprises. The innovation constancy of state-owned enterprises is higher than that of private enterprises. Furthermore, intermediary effect tests indicate that different types of green industrial policies stimulate enterprises to generate different innovation motivations. Command-control policies can promote substantive innovation constancy through the industrial competition effect and exert a significantly positive effect. Market-oriented policies can induce enterprises to perform strategic innovation constancy through fiscal incentives and financial investment effects and can produce significant negative effects. Based on these findings, this study proposes improvements in the policy construction of a long-term mechanism to strengthen the substantive innovation of enterprises. This study provides a theoretical basis and policy reference for improving the incentive efficiency of green industrial policies and promoting constant enterprise innovation under the Green and High-Quality Development Goals of China.

“…Climate disasters caused by greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide, have become a serious problem that threatens the survival of all human beings. China, as the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide, has announced a series of climate commitments and policies to achieve carbon mitigation goals in order to curb climate warming and promote global carbon neutrality (Guilhot, 2022;Zhang and Wang, 2022). The Chinese government pledged to peak carbon by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 at the international summit (Xinhua News Agency, 2020).…”

The city’s industrial transformation leads to a large amount of carbon emissions, which poses a thorny problem for the allocation of carbon responsibilities. This study established a multi-dimension long-term carbon emission analysis model to explore the characteristic of Beijing’s embodied carbon emissions, which could calculate the production-based, consumption-based and income-based carbon emissions. Then, structural decomposition analysis was adopted to quantify the contribution of socioeconomic factors in local and imported carbon emissions. In addition, emission linkage analysis was used for revealing the long-term evolutionary trajectories of sectors. The key discovery can be summarized as follows: 1) the fluctuation trend of production-side and income-side carbon emissions in Beijing is stable and decreased by 3.53% from 2002 to 2017, while consumption-side carbon emissions increased rapidly by 795.45%. 2) The energy, transportation and other services sectors from the supply, production and consumption perspectives. 3)Per capita consumption, production structure and consumption structure are the major contributors of carbon emissions. The study is expected to provide decision support for policymakers to reasonably formulate carbon mitigation policies and allocate carbon mitigation responsibilities from multiple perspectives, and promote the realization of the “carbon peak and carbon neutrality” strategy.
