“…After estimating the cointegration, panel FMOLS and panel ARDL long and short‐run relationships, we further controlled for distributional heterogeneity using panel quantile regression (Sarkodie and Strezov, ). The linear quantile ( Q ) specification for Equations 1 and 2 is expressed as (Koenker and Hallock, ):

Q ([]|, τ, X_{i,} β ((), τ)) = \overset{X_{i}}{true} β ((), τ),

where X signifies the regressors (AVA, ENG, TRD), β represents the vector of the coefficient to be estimated and τ denotes the ‐th quantile for individual i :

{\overset{false^}{β}}_{n} ((), τ) = {argmin}_{β ((), τ)} ({}, \sum_{i} ρ_{τ} ((), Y_{i} \overset{- X_{i}}{true} β ((), τ))),

{\overset{false^}{β}}_{n} ((), τ)

In line with the global target of reducing climate change and its impact, this study explored the causal relationship between CO2 emissions, modernized agriculture, trade openness, aggregate and disaggregate energy consumption in 14 African countries from 1990–2013 using a panel quantile estimation procedure. The empirical results showed that value addition to agricultural commodities declines CO2 emissions in countries with high pollution levels. The study revealed a positive nexus between CO2 emissions and energy consumption homogeneously distributed across quantiles. Trade openness was found to lower CO2 emissions in countries with lower and higher levels of environmental pollution. While fossil fuel energy consumption was found to exacerbate CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption confirmed its mitigating effect on environmental pollution. The institution of climate‐smart agricultural options will sustainably increase productivity and income while adapting to climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Diversification of energy technologies with clean and modern energy sources like renewables avoid the over‐dependence on fossil fuels for agricultural purposes. Trade policies can stimulate flows of technology and investment opportunities for specialization in production and economies of scale. Hence, the consideration of policies that boost agricultural sector productivity and create an efficient market for international trade in Africa will help in improving livelihoods.

“…The CE has received increased attention in the academic research with a range of reviews on the topic. More explicitly, the current literature explores the nexus among economic growth and environmental problems such as contamination (Ssali et al 2018), pollution (Sarkodie and Strezov 2019), climate change (Goldstone 2018), greenhouse gas discharges (Zhu et al 2016) or global warming (Wang et al 2017) between others. Specific areas of attention are closed loop value and supply chains, circular business models and circular product design (Geissdoerfer et al 2017).…”

“…In recent years, humans have been endangered by greenhouse effect leading to global warming. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission source from the burn of fossil fuels catches much attention because of it is a major factor to the greenhouse effect (Sarkodie and Strezov, 2019). One method to assuage the greenhouse effect is to capture CO 2 from emission sources and then save it in stratum or apply it for enhanced oil recovery in low permeability reservoirs.…”

CO2 Capture With Absorbents of Tertiary Amine Functionalized Nano–SiO2

To improve CO 2 adsorption performance of nanoparticle absorbents, a novel tertiary amine functionalized nano-SiO 2 (NS-NR 2 ) was synthesized based on the 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (KH540) modified nano-SiO 2 (NS-NH 2 ) via methylation. The chemical structure and performances of the NS-NR 2 were characterized through a series of experiments, which revealed that NS-NR 2 can react with CO 2 in water and nanofluid with low viscosity revealed better CO 2 capture. The CO 2 capture mechanism of NS-NR 2 was studied by kinetic models. From the correlation coefficient, the pseudo second order model was found to fit well with the experiment data. The influencing factors were investigated, including temperature, dispersants, and cycling numbers. Results has shown the additional surfactant to greatly promote the CO 2 adsorption performance of NS-NR 2 because of the better dispersity of nanoparticles. This work proved that NS-NR 2 yields low viscosity, high capacity for CO 2 capture, and good regenerability in water. NS-NR 2 with high CO 2 capture will play a role in storing CO 2 to enhanced oil recovery in CO 2 flooding.
