“…The escalating utilization of fossil energy sources is mostly responsible for the generation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other detrimental gases, which have emerged as a significant worldwide issue (Ali et al, 2022;Borowski, 2022;Raihan, 2023a;Sultana et al, 2023). GHGs have been widely recognized as a pivotal determinant in the phenomenon of global warming, exerting a significant influence on the intricate dynamics of climate change (Agan & Balcilar, 2023;Raihan, 2023b;Voumik et al, 2023). Numerous studies have demonstrated that the utilization of alternative carbon sources such as biomass has the potential to mitigate these difficulties (Sarwer et al, 2022;Raihan, 2023c).…”

The use of biomass is vital in reducing the negative effects of rising fossil fuel consumption. Given its quantity and diversity, forest biomass has garnered a lot of interest among the many kinds of biomass. This study evaluates the various strategies for transforming woody waste into usable biofuels. Carbon dioxide emissions from traditional energy generation systems could be mitigated through the direct utilization of forest biomass. Low energy conversion rates, as well as soot emissions and residues, are some of the problems that come up when directly using forest biomass. The sustainability of direct energy generation from forest biomass is also seriously threatened by the lack of constant access to biomass. Co-combustion with coal and pelletizing biomass is two solutions proposed for this issue. Co-combustion of forest biomass with coal has the potential to lower the process's emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfides. This article reviews and discusses the biochemical and thermochemical mechanisms that can transform forest biomass into a variety of liquid and gaseous biofuels. Future research using cutting-edge sustainability assessment tools like life cycle assessment, exergy, etc. should investigate the sustainability of forest biomass conversion processes to bioenergy further.

“…As pointed out by [1], greenhouse gases (GHG), primarily CO 2 , have a significant role to play in aggravating global warming. According to [2][3][4], the consequences of global warming vary across regions globally and are numerous, leading to adverse effects on the health of the population and the environment. Ref.…”

Assessing the Effects of Natural Resource Extraction on Carbon Emissions and Energy Consumption in Sub-Saharan Africa: A STIRPAT Model Approach

2023

This study examines the impact of natural resource extraction, population, affluence, and trade openness on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and energy consumption in 17 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries from 1971 to 2019, using the stochastic impacts on population, affluence, and technology (STIRPAT) model. The Westerlund and Kao cointegration tests were employed to determine long-run relationships among the variables. Pooled mean group autoregressive distributed lag (PMG-ARDL), panel fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS), and dimension group-mean panel dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) techniques were used to assess long-run multipliers. The findings of the study reveal that natural resource extraction, population, and income have a significant positive impact on energy consumption and CO2 emissions over an extended period in SSA countries. Findings suggest that an increase of 1% in income (affluence), natural resource extraction, and population, in the long run, will result in a rise of carbon emissions by 0.06% to 0.90% and an increase of 0.05% to 0.36% in energy consumption in the sampled SSA countries. Conversely, trade openness demonstrates a negative effect on energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This finding suggests that an increment of trade openness by 1% will lead to a reduction of 0.10% to 0.27% in the emission of carbon and a decrease of 0.05% to 0.09% in energy consumption over a long period. The study recommends that policymakers enforce stringent ecofriendly regulations, promote the adoption of green technologies and energy-saving sources, and reduce tariffs on ecofriendly commodities to enhance sustainable development in the region.

This paper examines whether accelerating climate change adaptation and clean energy innovations is an effective way to promote sustainable development and mitigate environmental risks. Based on this, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the potential effect of climate change adaptation and clean energy innovations with casual factors of social, political, human development, environmental, and climatic determinants as drivers of economic growth in 38 Organization for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) countries from 1990 to 2020. Employing the system‐generalized method of moments (GMM) method, this study shows that causal factors of social, political, educational, and environmental development have a positive effect on the economic growth process. Additionally, the interaction between climate change adaptation and temperature has a constant positive impact on economic growth. The findings highlight that policymakers should thoroughly evaluate the potential impacts of the climate change adaptation process and clean energy innovations in all aspects and implement measures and approaches that promote sustainable development, increase the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies, and address the challenges posed by climate change.
