“…The studies on climate efficiency available in the literature are linked mainly with efficiency assessment of the concept in the particular field of industry [11,16,17] or pertain generally to, for example, renewable energy sources, energy demand reductions, or energy efficiency improvements [22][23][24][25]. Another well-represented field of research pertains to the analysis of energy efficiency dependency and economic growth [27][28][29]31,32].…”

“…A broad review of research on carbon neutrality, drawing attention to the issue in different areas and economic sectors, has been developed. W ąs et al (2021) [11] , analyzed the impact of greenhouse gas emission reductions in farm sector in Poland; Becker et al (2020) [16] showed benefits of reducing emissions in the French spirits sector; and the research of Scuderi et al (2021) [17] concentrated on carbon footprint in conventional, organic, and zero-residue potato cultivation in Sicily. The research of Franzoi et al (2021) [18] and Carcassi et al (2021) [19] concerns neutrality in construction.…”

The aim of this article was to assess the efficiency of the utilization of public funds for climate neutrality. It was concluded that the data gathered in public statistics are not adapted to current challenges and hinder the direct measurement of climate policy objective implementation progress. Due to that, an innovative approach to public intervention efficiency analysis was proposed for the sake of decreasing CO2 emission in 27 European Union (EU) countries, based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method and soft modeling. Statistical data are derived from the Eurostat database and pertain to the years 2005–2019. It was demonstrated that activity efficiency of the particular EU countries on climate neutrality varied and that together with the increase in public funds spent on environmental protection, the growth of effects in the field of reaching climate neutrality objectives was not observed. The greatest positive impact on achieving climate neutrality objectives was revealed for activities connected with building renewable sources of energy (RES) and there was no correlation detected for expenditures connected with transport infrastructure, which means that public funds used for their construction did not influence climate neutrality. It was established that, in the analyzed period, the decisions on allocating public funds were not taken on the basis of the expected amount of reduction in relation to the volume of outlays. In order to track the reasons for detected inefficiency, 52 projects were analyzed within the case study, which covered 3738 investments in the replacement of heating sources in one region of Poland. It was revealed that the efficiency of those investments varies; however, due to the full availability of data of the acquired results and outlays devoted to them, a synthetic index of efficiency measurement was established that presents the amount of CO2 reduction for EUR 1. When comparing the analyses carried out on macro and micro scales, it was observed that on the scale of the EU, there is a lack of uniform measurements or benchmarks of projects in the field of CO2 emissions reduction. Meanwhile, from the whole EU’s perspective, it should be reasonable to undertake projects with the highest economic efficiency, irrespective of political and geographical aspects. The results obtained should be utilized by decision-makers to elaborate reference methodologies and good practices in order to successfully implement climate objectives and especially the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). What should be established are universal, on the EU scale, measurements and rules for gathering and counting data as well as benchmarks for the particular project types.

“…Agricultural production activities produce a large amount of greenhouse gases, and their impact is second only to industrial carbon emissions, making agricultural emission reductions imperative (Scuderi et al, 2021). Scholars have used Kaya constant equation, LMDI factor decomposition, STIRPAT model, Divisia index decomposition, ARDL model, VAR model, and GWR model to study the factors influencing agricultural carbon emissions (Li et al, 2014;Akram et al, 2019;Aziz et al, 2022;Yan et al, 2017;Koondhar et al, 2021;Guo et al, 2022;Han et al,2021).…”

This paper measures and analyzes the characteristics of changes in agricultural carbon emissions, structure and intensity from 2005 to 2020 based on agricultural input-output data, explores the drivers of agricultural carbon emissions using the LMDI model, and uses the TAPIO decoupling model to explore the relationship between agricultural economic development and agricultural carbon emissions in Jiangsu province. The research indicate that: (1) From 2005 to 2020, the agricultural carbon emissions in Jiangsu Province showed a three-stage change of "decline - rise - decline", with an average annual decrease of 0.34%; Carbon emissions per 10,000 yuan of total agricultural output value decreased from 701.43 kg in 2005 to 215.96 kg in 2020, with an average annual decrease of 7.55%. (2) The factors of agricultural production efficiency, agricultural production structure and agricultural labor scale all contribute to agricultural carbon emission reduction to different degrees, while the factors of agricultural economic level and total population contribute to agricultural carbon emission reduction to different degrees. (3) The decoupling elasticity index of agricultural carbon emissions and agricultural economic level in Jiangsu Province lies between -3.3217 and 3.6546, and the decoupling types are mainly weak and strong decoupling. According to our research results, agricultural production efficiency should be improved, the structure of the plantation industry should be optimized, and the transfer of agricultural labor to secondary and tertiary industries should be promoted in order to promote high-quality development of agriculture.

The research aims to study the effects of Mo metal embedded on H-Mordenite on its activity and selectivity of hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) for Refined Palm Kernel Oil (RPKO) into bioavtur. The RPKO was obtained from the results of degumming and bleaching process of palm kernel oil and then analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS). The impregnation of Mo metal was carried out by spraying using an ammonium heptamolybdate precursor solution ((NH4)6Mo7O24•4H2O) with an initial Mo metal content of 5, 10, and 15wt% of H-Mordenite to produce 5-Mo/Mor, 10-Mo/Mor, and 15-Mo/Mor. The 15-Mo/Mor catalyst produced the highest amount of liquid product (46.08wt%) with bioavtur yield of 43.19wt%. The usability test showed that 15-Mo/Mor catalyst still produced a good performance after three times of use in the RPKO feed HDO with the second and third run test liquid product of 34.82 and 46.14wt% respectively with bioavtur yield of 32.58 and 43.45wt%, respectively.
