“…For this reason, the proceeds from the depletion of natural resources complicate the environment. Notable strands of studies document the deteriorating effects of natural resource dependence on the environment (Ibrahim, 2022a). As such, we hypothesize a positive relationship between natural resource dependence and CO 2 emissions thus

“…This estimator's strength lies in its robustness to suppress slope heterogeneity and CSD issues in the data. The efficacy of this robust method for examining cointegration (long-run connections) between endogenous and exogenous variables is welldocumented empirically (Hussain et al, 2022;Ibrahim, 2022a;Mehmood et al, 2022). It is instructive to clarify that failure to accept the null hypothesis would imply that carbon neutrality has long-run nexuses with biofuels, natural resource rents, eco-innovation, carbon tax, environmental policy, renewable energy, and financial development in G7…”

Today's global economy faces the most devastating challenges of global warming occasioned by overdependence on natural resources. Besides, the dilemma of choosing between economic benefits and environmental costs emanating from natural resources heightens the empirical relevance of green energy in recent times. To solve this developmental puzzle, the current study presents extends the knowledge frontier by evaluating the impacts of natural resource dependence, green energy (captured by biofuels and renewable energy), carbon tax, and technological innovation on environmental sustainability in G7 economies. The empirical model endogenizes environmental policy stringency and financial development from 1996 to 2019. The empirical verification anchors on second‐generation estimators entailing Cross‐Sectional Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS‐ARDL), Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (CCEMG), augmented mean group (AMG), and novel Method of Moment Quantile Regression (MMQR). The fallouts from the analyses uncover that natural resource dependence militates against the attainment of the sustainability blueprint by escalating the surge in CO2 emissions in G7 countries. Similarly, the feedbacks from financial development support the surge in emissions. On the flip side, green energy, technological innovation, carbon tax, and environmental policy appear as effective tools for mitigating the surge. The Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) estimator for the country‐specific analysis corroborates the panel findings. Additionally, two channels of causalities, including unidirectional and bidirectional nexuses, are apparent from the estimated model. Policy measures are suggested based on empirical findings.

“…Table 1 provides a summary of these studies. The literature in Table 1 might be classified as follows: i) There is a consensus in the literature that environmental degradation rises infant mortality (Ecevit & Çetin, 2016;Majeed & Khan, 2019;Erdoğan et al, 2019;Shobande, 2020;Majeed & Ozturk, 2020;Omri et al, 2022;Yu et al, 2022;Tsai et al, 2022;Barua et al, 2022) and reduces life expectancy (Balan, 2016;Sirag et al, 2017;Matthew et al, 2018;Nkalu & Edeme, 2019;Erdoğan et al, 2019;Majeed & Khan, 2019;Majeed & Ozturk, 2020;Akter et al, 2020;Hossain et al, 2020;Rodriguez-Alvarez, 2021;Murthy et al, 2021;Alimi & Ajide, 2021;Chen et al, 2021;Bouchoucha, 2021;Rjoub et al, 2021;Azam et al, 2022;Omri et al, 2022;Rahman & Alam, 2022a;Arafat et al, 2022;Radmehr & Adebayo, 2022;Salehnia et al, 2022;Ibrahim, 2022;Bayar et al, 2022). Also, Mutizwa and Makochekanwa (2015) concluded that environmental degradation does not have an impact on infant mortality.…”

The relationship between environment and health status has attracted intensive attention in recent years. However, limited studies have focused on environmental protection expenditure on health status. This study empirically tests the links of environmental protection expenditure with health status for 20 European countries over the period 1995-2019. For empirical analysis, this study used panel quantile regression. The empirical results show that while environmental protection expenditure, GDP, and education help to ameliorate health status, CO2 emissions worse health status. Hence, efficient environmental protection expenditure and environmental policies must align with strategies to improve health status.

“…Recent research has reported that 8.7 million premature deaths were globally accounted for in 2018 due to the burning of fossil fuels, which caused a substantial exposure of PM 2.5 [1][2][3]. It was found in a study that the air pollution caused by fossil fuels is culpable for nearly one out of every five deaths worldwide [4]. At present, more than 80% of the global energy requirement is fulfilled by fossil fuel sources and their derivative fuels [5].…”

Graphene-Based Derivatives Heterostructured Catalytic Systems for Sustainable Hydrogen Energy via Overall Water Splitting

2023

The global climate crisis has cultivated the demand for sustainable energy resources as fossil derivative fuels are functional in catalyzing the rate of environmental breakdown. Sustainable energy solutions generate various renewable energy prospects capable of delivering efficient energy operations. Among these prospects, green H2 energy generated via overall water splitting is an effective approach towards sustainability ascribed to the higher gravimetric density and efficiency of H2 fuel. In this review, we sought to discuss the applicability and challenges of graphene-based derivatives in H2 evolution operations through photochemical, electrochemical and photoelectrochemical water-splitting pathways. The unique layered structure of graphene-based derivatives alongside marvelous optoelectronic and physicochemical properties ease out the thermodynamic uphill of water splitting better than their non-layered counterparts. In addition, the heterojunction formation in the graphene derivatives with visible light catalysts propels the kinetics of HER. Functionalized GO and rGO derivatives of graphene are riveting catalysts that have received extensive interest from researchers attributed to their accelerated chemical and mechanical stability, tunable band structure and larger surface area, providing more exposed active sites for HER. The surface organic functional groups of GO/rGO assist in establishing synergetic interfacial contact with other catalysts. Thus, these groups provide structural and chemical versatility to GO/rGO-based heterostructured catalysts, which effectively improve their physicochemical parameters that drive their catalytic performance towards HER. In order to develop a cost-effective and highly efficient catalytic system, graphene-based derivatives are promising heterostructured catalysts that exhibit a good relationship between catalytic efficiency and robustness.
