“…1,2 Therefore, reducing CO 2 emissions from coal-fired power plants is of great significance to global CO 2 reduction. 3 Acid gas separation by means of an absorbent was first proposed in 1930 by Bottoms,4 and then the method was considered for CO 2 capture in 1991. Since then, the chemical absorption method, especially with amine-based solutions, has been widely studied for CO 2 removal from flue gas.…”

“…The continuous increase of CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere leads to a stronger greenhouse effect and accelerates global warming. Some research predicts that the living space of more than 1/2 of ordinary plants and 1/3 of animals will be reduced by half by 2080 according to the current carbon emission momentum. , Therefore, reducing CO 2 emissions from coal-fired power plants is of great significance to global CO 2 reduction .

A poly(tetrafluoroethylene) hollow-fiber membrane contactor was used for CO2 absorption in tertiary amine solutions. Several influential factors were studied including the flow rate, concentration, temperature, CO2 loading of the absorbent and CO2 partial pressure, and velocity of mixed gas. Based on the finite elemental analysis method, a two-dimensional steady-state mathematical model was established using COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software to calculate CO2 mass transfer flux (J CO2 ) and CO2 concentration distribution in the hollow-fiber membrane contactor under nonwetting and partial-wetting conditions. Results show that the mass transfer was severely reduced in the partially wet membrane, and the predicted J CO2 under 15% membrane wetting agreed well with the experimental value. In addition, a dimensionless equation was developed to predict the liquid phase, gas phase, and membrane phase mass transfer coefficients and J CO2 . The calculated J CO2 values are in good agreement with the experimental values with an average absolute relative deviation (AARD) of 9.4%.

“…In turn, the determinants of changes to GHG emissions in Poland were analyzed using the index decomposition method in its additive form. The decomposition of greenhouse gas emissions was addressed in many studies carried out at global, economic, sector, industry, and other analytical levels (Ang and Su, 2016;Baležentis et al, 2011;Diakoulaki and Mandaraka, 2007;O'Mahony, 2013;Hatzigeorgiou et al, 200;Cansino et al, 2015;González et al, 2014;Ma et al, 2020;Bacon and Kojima, 2009;Kisielewicz et al, 2016;Hoekstra and van den Bergh, 2003;Wood, 2009;Su and Ang, 2016;Casino et al, 2016). These studies usually relied on two primary methods, i.e., the index and the structural decomposition analysis, to quantitatively determine the strength and direction of the impact of different factors on changes in emissions.…”

Purpose:The primary purpose of this paper is to carry out a multidimensional analysis of determinants of changes to GHG emissions in Poland between 2000 and This study found that GHG emissions generally followed an upward trend over the study period, although deviations in different directions were recorded in some years. This means that shifting to a low-carbon economy-as a way to counteract climate warming-poses a considerable challenge to Poland. It becomes imperative as the EU has intensified its measures taken to become climate-neutral. Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper contributes to research on climate change drivers related to energy use. The analysis was based on descriptive statistics and decomposition methods. The Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI), one of the most widely adopted forms of index decomposition analysis, was employed to identify the determinants of GHG emissions. This was based on the additive specification. Findings: This study identified rapid economic growth-and the corresponding increase in energy consumption primarily derived from fossil fuels, mainly including coal and lignite-as the main reason behind the increase in GHG emissions in Poland between 2000 and 2018. Moreover, it follows from the decomposition analysis that the reduction in GHG emissions was due to a decrease in GHG emissions per unit of energy, improvements in fuel conversion efficiency, a reduction in final energy consumption per unit of GDP, and a small extent-by population change. However, the positive impact of these factors on GHG reduction was smaller than the negative impact of economic growth. As a consequence of these differences, GHG emissions in Poland followed an upward trend. Practical implications: These considerations could help develop an active energy policy focused on climate neutrality. Originality/value: This document broadens and updates knowledge on the determinants of GHG emissions. Also, these findings can provide grounds for accelerating energy transformation processes in Poland.

In the context of globalization, the 2030 sustainable development goals pose a huge challenge to the coordinated development of economy and environment in emerging economies. The purpose of this article is to investigate whether globalization contributes to balance water consumption and economic growth in emerging economies. China is the largest developing country and the largest trader of goods in the world. From holistic and representative perspectives, this article analyzes the mechanisms affecting economic growth and water consumption in BRICS countries, Next Eleven (N11) countries and China. Combining decoupling model and econometric models, fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) linear model and threshold panel nonlinear model are constructed. Both linear and nonlinear effects of trade and foreign investment on economic growth and water consumption are considered. The results show that, from a holistic perspective, globalization helps balance economic growth and water consumption in emerging economies. The impact of trade on water consumption in BRICS countries is negative. And with the increase of trade, its positive coefficient on water consumption in N11 countries gradually decreases. Foreign direct investment (FDI) plays a positive role in the coordinated development of economic growth and water environment in BRICS and N11 countries. Taking China as a representative country, there is a decoupling phenomenon between economic growth and water use during the study period. With the trade crossing the threshold successively, the promoting effect on economy increases first and then decreases, and the inhibiting effect on water consumption weakens. With the increase of foreign investment, its positive effect on GDP increases, and its positive coefficient on water consumption decreases. The conclusions from representative country and holistic perspective are consistent. Finally, some policy recommendations are put forward.
