“…The DEA has been extended to account for undesirable outputs in different ways [62,63]. The SBM proposed by Cooper et al [37] can accommodate both desirable outputs and undesirable ones, e.g., CO 2 emissions [28,54]. The present study utilizes SBM to derive environmental efficiency and shadow prices of CO 2 emissions from China's thermal electricity generation.…”

“…The Shapley/Sun Index has been widely used in the analysis of CO 2 emission patterns and proved to be effective. For instance, Li et al [28] analyzed the major drivers behind energy-related CO 2 emissions arising from agriculture in European countries based on the Shapley/Sun Index. Yu et al [29] applied the Shapley/Sun Index decomposition to allocate the CO 2 emission reduction targets in China at the provincial level.…”

“…This property is particularly attractive as this paper focuses on the reduction on CO 2 emission along with possible increases in desirable output without a priori assumptions on the underlying trade-offs. Wei et al [38] and Li et al [28] applied SBM to the analysis of CO 2 emission reduction in China and the European Union's agriculture sector, respectively. This research, therefore, utilizes a non-directional, non-radial, and non-parametric model based on SBM for the analysis of environmental efficiency and the shadow prices of CO 2 emission in China's thermal electricity at the province level.…”

“…Furthermore, IDA and environmental analysis have seldom been utilized in an incorporate manner, even though the efficiency analysis method (e.g., SBM) can refine the directions for reductions in CO 2 emission. So far, to the best of knowledge, only Li et al [28] applied IDA and efficiency analysis jointly to derive the driving forces of CO 2 emission and to discover the possibilities for CO 2 emission abatement in the European Union agriculture sector. Methodologically, this paper could be regarded as the first paper to analyze the CO 2 emission from China's electricity generation, specifically China's thermal electricity generation, with the integrated manner containing both the IDA and environmental efficiency methods.…”

China's electricity sector mainly relies on coal-fired thermal generation, thus resulting that nearly 50% of China's total CO 2 emissions coming from the electricity sector. This study focuses on the provincial CO 2 emissions from China's thermal electricity generation. Methodologically, Index Decomposition Analysis (IDA), facilitated by the Shapley Index, is applied to discover the driving factors behind CO 2 emission changes at the provincial level. In addition, the Slack-based Model (SBM) is used to identify which provincial power grids should be allocated with a higher (lower) CO 2 reduction burden. The IDA results indicate that economic activity pushed the CO 2 emissions up in all 30 provincial power grids, excluding Beijing and Shanghai; the carbon factor contributed to a decrease in the CO 2 emissions in all 30 provincial power grids, with the exception of Jilin, Guangdong, and Ningxia; though the effect of energy intensity varied across the 30 provinces, it played a significant role in the mitigation of CO 2 emissions in Beijing, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, Shanghai, Anhui, and Sichuan. According to the SBM results, the lowest carbon shadow prices are observed in Yunnan, Shanghai, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Qinghai, Guizhou, Anhui, and Ningxia. These provincial power grids, thus, should face higher mitigation targets for CO 2 emissions from thermal electricity generation.

“…Several studies have been conducted on the relation of biogas production and GHG reduction. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is the most significant among all greenhouse gases emitted during the production of fossil-based energy (Li, Baležentis, Makutėnienė, Streimikiene, & Kriščiukaitienė, 2016). Liu et al (2012) have studied the feasibility of developing anaerobic digestion (AD) for municipal biomass waste (MBW) in China that was focused on biogas production and GHG reduction.…”

The first aim of the present study is to investigate the feasibility of the biogas production potential from Spent Mushroom Compost. Hence, its secondary aim is to study the replacement of this energy with the fossil energy source and its impact on the reduction of greenhouse gases emission. The production potential of biogas was evaluated in a laboratory-scale Open Outlet Flow Batch Type Anaerobic digester. Setups of biogas production were set at temperatures of 35°C and 55°C. Results indicate that the cumulative production of biogas at 55°C was more than that at 35°C (364.8 and 314.11 L/kg.VS, respectively). The energy required for 1 ton of spent mushroom compost in one period of production was 204.24-5.35T kW.h/ton. The amount of energy produced in a period of biogas production was calculated to be 277.95 kW.h/ton at 35°C and 322.84 kW.h/ton at 55°C. Results show that the total produced spent mushroom compost of the country is equal to 414,491.7 tons per year. Accordingly, the potential of methane production was calculated to be 8690.8 × 103 m 3 per year. It can also reduce 0.02% of the total annual production of CO 2 in Iran. ARTICLE HISTORY

Corn stover‐derived porous carbon for asymmetric supercapacitors

et al. 2023

In this investigation, hydrothermal liquefaction‐derived hydrochar from pulverized corn stover (avg. particle size 1.12 mm and ash content 6.75 wt%) is chemically activated with aqueous KOH in the presence of Pluronic F127 surfactant and thermally treated further up to 800°C to generate porous carbon (POC) with higher specific surface area and porosity. POC obtained under different processing conditions is thoroughly characterized by Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller surface area analyzer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Metallic impurity present in POC is characterized by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Higher specific surface area POC is observed with the use of the surfactant during the activation process. Fully characterized POC is used with (Mn, Ti)‐mixed oxide electrode to fabricate asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC). Specific capacitance of ASC is measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique using Gamry G‐300 potentiostat/galvanostat/ZRA. CV plots are obtained with different voltage scan rates whereas galvanostatic charge‐discharge plots are studied by varying the current density. Renewable corn stover‐derived POC prepared using Pluronic F127/KOH activation method is found to be highly suitable as an electrode material because of higher capacitance and electrochemical stability over 100 charging‐discharging cycles.
