“…This means that lower-cost environmental protection technologies are favored by the advanced technological innovation sector. In addition, the recent literature is consistent with our findings, that is, the importance of technological innovation to the promotion of clean energy, which regards technological innovation as a prerequisite for promoting clean energy (Blondeau and Mertens, 2019;Pejović et al, 2021). Therefore, advanced technological innovation can easily promote the development of renewable projects, which is a necessary prerequisite for the development of renewable energy (Goh and Ang, 2018).…”

The threats of climatic change on life, health, and the environment have been regarded by the joint consensus of scholars in the recent decades. With the advancement of global green development, green finance has paved the way for the government to respond to the challenges of climate change by providing mature financial services, appropriate financing, investment, and project funds related to environmental protection. In this context, green finance was proposed, and the relationship between green finance, renewable energy, and carbon emissions in the BRICS countries from 2000 to 2018 was further studied based on the quantile regression model. The presence of cross-sectional dependence in panel results is tested through CD and LM methods. The findings show the negative effect of green finance and non-fossil energy consumption on CO2 emissions. Furthermore, economic growth, trade openness, energy consumption, and foreign direct investment increase the CO2 emissions. Finally, the research results confirm that green finance is the best financial strategy to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

“…Indeed, the energy penalty induced by the CC increases from 0.48 kWh/kWhe to 0.58 kWh/kWhe when the annual load factor is reduced from 1 to 0.5, representing a 21 % relative increase. Concerning CO 2 emissions (Table 5), the reported values for the case without CC are of the same order of magnitude as the monthly values measured by Blondeau et al [24] on an existing 300-350 MWhe gas-fired combined cycle power plant (335 kg/MWhe for base-load and 350 kg/MWhe for peak-load). The reduction of the annual load factor induces a slight increase in yearly CO 2 emissions.…”

The growing share of renewable energies in our electricity production, together with the still lacking storage capacity, strongly reinforces the need for more flexible electricity production units. In this context, combined cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) have a role to play, both in the current and future electricity production system due to their high efficiency, high load flexibility, and low CO2 emissions compared to other conventional thermal power plants. Nevertheless, bearing in mind our current challenges concerning climate change, the CO2 emissions of these CCGTs need to be reduced drastically. The amine-based absorption carbon capture (CC) process is currently the most mature and applicable CC technology. This process is known to require a considerable amount of thermal energy, degrading plant performance. However, to back-up renewable production, CCGTs will operate most of the time under part-load conditions. The impact of these part-load operations on the CC is still relatively unknown. Within this framework, this study aims to assess the performance of the CC process applied to a typical CCGT under part-load operation using specific simulation models. The CC plant model has been successfully validated against experimental data from a pilot-scale capture facility. Then, the CC plant has been scaled-up to the CCGT scale and the process has been optimized for each operating condition. The simulation results show that the specific reboiler duty increases for part-load operation, while the specific cooling requirements decrease. Moreover, the analysis of the yearly CCGT operation highlights a relative increase in CC energy penalty of 21% for an annual CCGT load factor of 0.5, impacting significantly plant performance. The next step will involve reducing this energy penalty.

“…While reducing carbon emissions and fuel consumption is a top priority, the rebound effect must be properly considered. Blondeau and Mertens ( 2019 ) claim that developing countries are particularly susceptible to the problem of a rebound effect. In order to determine if this problem exists in other countries and developing nations, further research must be done.…”

Significant challenges confronting China include reducing carbon emissions, dealing with the resulting problems, and meeting various requirements for long-term economic growth. As a result, the shift in industrial structure best reflects how human society utilizes resources and impacts the environment. To meet China's 2050 net-zero emissions target, we look at how technological innovations, financial development, renewable energy investment, population age, and the economic complexity index all play a role in environmental sustainability in China. Analyzing short- and long-term relationships using ARDL bounds testing, we used historical data spanning 1990–2018. According to the study's findings, the cointegration between CO2 emissions and their underlying factors was found. The deterioration of the environment directly results from financial development, increasing economic complexity, and population aging. Technical advancements, investments in renewable energy sources, and changes to the industrial structure all contribute to lower CO2 emissions. Granger causality results were also reliably obtained in this study. According to our findings in the fight against environmental problems, a key tool for meeting long-term sustainability goals is policy prescriptions that use technological innovations, renewable energy investment, and industrial structure.
