Low carbon thermal technologies in an ageing society – What are the issues?

Exploring household emission patterns and driving factors in Japan using machine learning methods

“…Also, household photovoltaic is another choice for residents to offset their own electricity use since FIT-based contracts between households and utilities have started to expire from 2019 [80]. From a broader perspective, our findings can reconcile the low-carbon transition suggestions for households with Japan's priority areas for carbon neutrality by 2050, including nextgeneration PV and lifestyle shift business, high-efficiency electric appliance, and new energy vehicles for households [81].…”

Socioeconomic Inequality in Low-Carbon Technology Adoption

“…Birth cohorts 5 and gender are included in our set of circumstances, as existing literature has shown systematic differences in low-carbon energy adoption patterns by gender and across birth cohorts (Berkeley et al, 2018;Day, 2015;Fraune, 2015;Han et al, 2022;Mills and Schleich, 2012;Petrova and Simcock, 2021). Ethnicity is also included in our set of circumstance variables (NON-WHITE vs WHITE) as it has been shown that those of minority ethnicity backgrounds tend to have a lower rate of adoption of low carbon technologies in the United States, and even more so in low-and middle-income countries (Sovacool et al, 2022).…”

Study on Low-Carbon Technology Innovation Strategies through Government–University–Enterprise Cooperation under Carbon Trading Policy

“…The above analysis shows that there is a game relationship between government and firms in the process of implementing environmental regulation policies. The government has the responsibility to encourage enterprises to innovate [31,32]. The government will choose environmental regulation implementation strategies to attract liquid capital based on enterprises' preferences.…”

“…Substituting the resulting E C 1 , E C 2 , and E C 3 into Equation (31), with certain simplifications, yields the following results:…”
