“…These outcomes show the emission reduction potential of increasing the use of renewable energy in the African continent. These results confirm the estimates of Ulucak et al ( 2021 ) and indirectly also those of Demircan et al ( 2021 ), contributing to the discussion around the renewable energy consumption–agricultural carbon emissions nexus. In their recent empirical work, Rahman and Alam ( 2022 ) concluded that renewable energy is seen in innovations that can improve environmentally friendly technologies to reduce carbon emissions and enhance environmental quality.…”

The major aim of this study was to investigate the impact of renewable energy consumption and agricultural economic growth on agricultural carbon emissions in Africa for the period 1990–2019. This paper employed panel fully modified ordinary least square (PFMOLS) and dynamic ordinary least square (PDOLS) estimation techniques. The empirical results showed that agriculture growth promote agricultural carbon emissions. More precisely, the results revealed a strong positive and statistical significant impact on agricultural carbon emissions in Africa. On the other hand, the results on quadratic show a negative causal association between agriculture growth and agricultural carbon emissions in Africa. Interestingly, renewable energy consumption was found to have a negative impact on agricultural carbon emissions. On Granger causality, the result shows that there is a unidirectional causality between agriculture growth and agricultural carbon emissions. Based on these findings, we recommend that countries should promote and encourage the use of renewable energy to curb agricultural carbon emissions. There is a need to adopt agricultural practices that have the potential to limit carbon emissions.

“…Industrial production is noticeably more advanced in developed countries than in developing countries (37). For this reason, it has been emphasized that developed countries, especially those with a high use of fossil fuels in production, contribute more to the formation of greenhouse gases on a global scale and cause an increase in Covid-19 cases.…”

Objective: Developed countries with high use of fossil fuels in production can harm the environment by contributing more to the formation of greenhouse gases on a global scale. In this context, it has been emphasized that they have caused an increase in Covid-19 cases. Therefore, this study aims to provide policymakers with a different perspective on the fight against the virus. Methods: This research covers the United States. The relationship between Coal Industry CO2 (CCO), Natural Gas Industry CO2 (NCO), Power Industry CO2 (ECO), Petroleum Industry CO2 (OCO), and Covid-19 cases (COV) is discussed. Monthly data for the period between 2019 and 2021 were used. The data were compiled from World Health Organization and Our World in Data web resources. In the analyses, the ARDL Boundary Test model was used to capture long-term and short-term causality relationships. Results: In general, the results show that fossil energy sources such as coal, oil, electricity and natural gas used in industries play an important role in the increase of Covid-19 cases. Among these energy sources, coal is the one that causes the most damage. Coal is followed by oil, electricity and natural gas, respectively. Accordingly, a 1% change in the US economy due to coal used in production leads to a 1.03% change in Covid-19 cases. Similarly, the effect of oil on Covid-19 cases is 0.61%. The impact of industries using electrical energy based on fossil fuels in their production on Covid-19 cases is 0.26%. Natural gas proved to be the fossil fuel energy source with the least impact on Covid-19 cases with a change of 0.069%. Conclusions:The findings revealed that the increase in fossil fuels used in industries during the relevant period negatively affected air quality and Covid-19 cases. The increase in the number of cases affects the health sector more than any other sector. If this data is associated with future energy sources used in industries (fossil fuels), it will contribute to the creation of public policies that promote a new generation of energy sources in production.

“…The progress of energy technology has a positive and significant impact on carbon efficiency through the green upgrade of the industrial structure [ 35 ]. (2) The impact of technological innovation on carbon emissions in different industries [ 36 , 37 ]: for example, Erdoğan et al believe that long-term innovation has no significant impact on carbon emissions in energy, transportation, and other industries; the improvement of industrial innovation can reduce carbon emissions, while construction innovation will increase carbon emissions [ 38 ]. (3) The impact mechanism of technological innovation on carbon emissions at different scales [ 39 , 40 , 41 ]: for instance, Obobisa et al used panel time series data from 2000 to 2018 to examine the impact of green technology innovation on CO 2 emissions in 25 African countries.…”

Global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions seriously threatens a region's sustainable environmental and socioeconomic development. Promoting industrial restructuring and strengthening technological innovation have become an important path to achieving pollution and carbon reduction as well as the green transformation of economic structure. This paper explored the mechanism of the mediating effect of technological innovation on industrial restructuring and carbon reduction while accounting for the direct effect of industrial restructuring on carbon emissions. Then, based on China's provincial panel data from 2001 to 2019, we estimated the carbon emission intensity using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s methods and analyzed its spatiotemporal evolution characteristics. Finally, we constructed a fixed-effect model and a mediating effect model to empirically analyze how industrial restructuring and technological innovation affect carbon emission intensity. The results are as follows: (1) From 2001 to 2019, China's carbon emission intensity showed a continuous downward trend, with a pronounced convergence trend; there were obvious differences in carbon emission intensity between eastern, central, and western regions (western region > central region > eastern region) due to the unbalanced industrial structure. (2) In terms of direct effects, industrial restructuring can significantly reduce carbon emission intensity. The intensity of the effect is inversely proportional to the level of industrial restructuring, and the results of sub-regional tests are similar. Nevertheless, there is an obvious regional difference in the size of the carbon emission reduction effect of industrial restructuring in the east, central, and western regions. (3) In terms of indirect effects, industrial restructuring can reduce carbon emission intensity by enhancing technological innovation, and it acts as a mediating variable in the process of industrial restructuring to reduce carbon emission. Finally, we put forward recommendations for promoting industrial restructuring, strengthening green technological innovation, and properly formulating carbon reduction measures to provide a reference for countries and regions to achieve the goals of carbon neutrality, carbon peaking, and high-quality economic development.
