“…Noorpoor and Kudahi (2015) found that population size, per capita GDP, power intensity, and electricity consumption positively impact CO 2 emissions, while hydropower, nuclear power, and other renewable energy have a negative impact. Xu et al (2019) showed that China's per capita GDP and oil consumption are positively correlated with CO 2 emissions, while natural gas consumption hurts emissions. A considerable part of the research also exhibited that renewable energy consumption increases energy self-sufficiency, stimulates sustainable economic growth, and reduces CO 2 emissions (Noorpoor and Kudahi, 2015;Gill et al, 2018;Lin and Raza., 2019).…”

The influence of low-carbon energy on economic development is a vital issue. Using the provincial panel data in China from 2000 to 2017, this work investigated the aggregate effects of low-emission electricity. The results showed that 1) when the ratio of low-emission electricity to total electricity increases by 1%, the GDP per capita will increase by 0.16% and CO2 emissions will decrease by 0.848%. In other words, low-emission electricity can achieve the goal of low-carbon economic development; 2) the self-supply of low-emission electricity, rather than trade and efficiency, is the main reason for China’s boosted economic growth; and 3) low-emission electricity increases the regional economic gap in China. The effects of pollution inhibition and economic promotion on low-emission electricity in developed areas are significantly greater than those in less developed areas. Thus, the low-emission electricity policy in China should benefit the economy and avoid the excessive economic gap among regions. Policymakers should vigorously promote the low-emission electricity revolution and pay attention to the inclination of energy policy to the central and western regions.

Trade Openness and CO2 Emissions: Evidence from Tunisia

We investigated the asymmetrical effects of trade openness on CO2 emissions and the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis in Tunisia during the period 1971–2014. The integration analysis suggests a mixed order of integration and the cointegration analysis corroborates the long- and short-run relationships. The EKC was proved true with a turning point gross domestic product (GDP) of approximately 292.335 billion constant US dollars, and Tunisia was found at the first phase of EKC. Moreover, we corroborate the asymmetrical effects of trade openness on CO2 emissions. The effects of increasing and decreasing trade openness are found to be positive and insignificant on CO2 emissions, respectively. The pollution haven hypothesis is found to be true in Tunisia, along with negative environmental effects associated with increasing foreign trade.

“…Xu et al 29 found that natural gas is also a clean energy source that can reduce CO 2 emissions. 17 Saidi and Mbarek 30 estimated the nexus among nuclear energy consumption, CO 2 emissions, renewable energy, and GDP in nine developed countries from 1990 to 2013. Dong et al 31 investigated the relationship between CO 2 emissions and renewable energy in 128 countries over 1990-2014.…”

Internationally, biofuel energy as a renewable energy source has been increasingly appreciated by various industries. The benefits of biofuel energy for environmental protection and global climate change cannot be denied. Hence, this paper examines the nexus among economic growth, biofuel consumption, urbanization rate, and CO2 emissions in seven selected Group of Twenty countries (G20) over 2001–2017. The results of fully modified ordinary least squares suggest that the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) exists between economic growth and CO2 emissions, and the impact of biofuel consumption and the urbanization rate on CO2 emissions is negative and positive, respectively. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the nexus among economic growth, biofuel consumption, urbanization rate, and CO2 emissions. The significance of this paper is to add biofuel consumption as a new variable for a panel of seven selected Group of Twenty (G20) countries covering 2001–2017. In addition, this study put urbanization into the current environmental Kuznets curve model to validate that urbanization can increase CO2 emissions. Developing the biofuel industry can not only diminish fossil fuel energy consumption but also offer huge potential to reduce CO2 emissions.
