“…E-government has the potential to significantly enhance environmental stewardship through data use, E-technologies, and online platforms [3]. The capacity of E-governance to gather an extensive array of satellite data and sensor systems spanning vast geographical regions facilitates a thorough comprehension of environmental conditions and resource utilization pa erns [4].…”

This paper investigates the effect of E-government (EG) and COVID-19 on environmental sustainability (ES), considering the Load Capacity Curve (LCC) in the Chinese provinces, which employs the panel MMQR method. This study reveals that E-government initiatives positively impact environmental sustainability, with a 1% increase in E-government effectiveness leading to a rise in ES between 0.05% and 0.40%. Conversely, COVID-19 has a pronounced negative effect on sustainability, particularly at the medium quantiles. The results also report the non-LCC hypothesis in Chinese provinces. The Dumitrescu–Hurlin (DH) causality outcome indicates a bi-directional causal association between environmental sustainability and E-government practices and the unidirectional link from COVID-19 to environmental sustainability. These findings highlight the policy implication of the critical role of E-government in promoting environmental sustainability despite the challenges posed by economic and demographic factors.

“…Over several decades before now, Scientists around the world have raised serious concerns on the continuous and over-dependence on the fossil fuels as the main energy sources. These could be attributed to certain fundamental and inevitable factors (Liu et al, 2023;Zhang and Hao, 2023;Zhu et al, 2023). The distribution of these fuels is non-linear with some countries having huge reserves whereas others have little or none (Donaghy et al, 2023).…”

Biodiesel production via catalytic transesterification of non-edible oils derived from plants is one of the priority areas considered by researchers as an approach to reduce the over-dependence on fossil fuels. However, the development of most appropriate catalyst system is still under investigation. The current study therefore investigated the potentials of bone ashes derived from cow, camel and goat as catalytic materials for upgrading mango seed oils into biodiesel under a range of reaction conditions. Irrespective of the bone ash type, the XRF data revealed the presence of CaO, P2O5, SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, Na2O, MgO, TiO2 and Fe2O3. Among the nine oxides, CaO and P2O5 were found to play a competitive role during the upgrading reaction. However, reactions influenced by active basic sites in CaO were very favourable and accounted for the production of high biodiesel yields reaching maximum at ~94.5%. Further studies on properties characterization showed the produced methyl esters to have properties in line with those approved internationally for the designing of B100 and other grades of biodiesel.
