“…This suggests that economic activities increase CO 2 emissions by using fossil fuel energy sources and producing more output that involves the use of energy causes damage to the environment. These estimated results are analogous with the previous findings of Khan, Ali, Kirikkaleli, Wahab, and Jiao (2020), Khan, Ali, Umar, et al (2020), Ahmad, Khan, Rahman, Khattak, and Khan (2019), and Hu, Xie, Fang, and Zhang (2018).…”

“…Further, promoting environmental innovation in these countries also reduce energy intensity which reduces the demand for fossil fuels and ultimately reduce CO 2 emissions (Wurlod & Noailly, 2018). These estimated results are in line with the outcomes of Ahmad et al (2019), Khan, Ali, Umar, et al (2020), and Umar, Ji, Kirikkaleli, and Xu (2020).…”

“…Moreover, a 1 % increase in renewable energy consumption also decreases CO 2 emissions by 0.211%. Use of renewable energy sources that are less energy‐intensive will decrease CO 2 emissions supports the outcomes of Ahmad et al (2019) and Khan, Ali, Umar, et al (2020). The coefficient of renewable energy is large, which means it contributes significantly to lowering emissions.…”

This study highlights the importance of fiscal decentralization in promoting a sustainable environment. The literature on the importance of fiscal decentralization in affecting environmental quality is scant, and thus, this study attempts to fill the gap by incorporating the linear and nonlinear terms of fiscal decentralization as possible determinants for CO2 emissions. Particularly, we utilize data from seven highly fiscally decentralized countries, that is, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Spain, and Switzerland, over the period 1990–2018. For empirical analysis, advanced panel data econometric tools are used that can deal with both heterogeneous coefficients and dependence of cross‐sections. The findings confirm that linear and nonlinear terms of fiscal decentralization improve the environment by reducing CO2 emissions. Moreover, gross domestic product (GDP) increases, while eco‐innovation and renewable energy usage reduce CO2 emissions. This study recommends that any policy that targets green growth will affect CO2 emissions. Moreover, policies targeting fiscal decentralization, GDP, eco‐innovation, and renewable energy will play the role in more than 1 year, namely in the long run.

“…In this study we focused on energy productivity, if the country is efficient in the production process it will use less energy in the process and have negative impact on consumption-based carbon emission. Thus, energy productivity is expected to have negative impact on consumption-based carbon emission (Khan et al, 2020b, Ahmad et al, 2019. Moreover, suggests that energy productivity "has a more positive association than energy intensity and is more intuitive.…”

In this paper, we fill the gap in the literature by identifying a negative relationship between fuel ethanol consumption and CO2 emissions, building on a sample of 17 European countries covering seven years, from 2010 to 2016. Based on a Panel Smooth Transition Regression approach we show that countries with high levels of income inequality have difficulties in avoiding environmental degradation by promoting policies and regulations for more intense use of biofuels. Furthermore, we bring strong empirical evidence suggesting that biofuels could be an alternative in the future to reducing CO2 emissions. In our opinion, this non-linear analysis could provide the scientific basis for authorities, especially the European Commission to promote environmental policies to a specific country with different levels of carbon emissions rather than to the entire group.
