In this study, New Zealand and Finland are examined by Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model for the relationship between coal consumption and economic growth. For coal consumption and economic growth relationship, coal Kuznets curve is investigated for New Zealand for the period between 1980 and 2015 and is examined for Finland for the period between 1980 and 2013. Results of this study show that coal Kuznets curve is confirmed for New Zealand and Finland. Hao et al. (2016) confirmed coal Kuznets curve as this study confirmed in New Zealand and Finland. This study contributes to the current literature by verifying coal Kuznets curve for New Zealand and Finland. Coal Kuznets curve is also not investigated for these countries before. This study recommends further investigation of coal consumption-growth nexus carries importance since the only study in the literature for coal consumption-growth nexus belongs to this study for New Zealand and Finland.

“…Cohen et al (2019) confirmed the EKC hypothesis for a panel study in China for the period of 1990 to 2012, confirmed a cyclical relationship between GW and EMS, and found that the cyclical relationship is symmetric. Chai et al (2019) investigated the relationship between coal consumption (CCS) and GW in China for the period of 1965 and 2016. Although Chai et al found a phased inverted U relationship between CCS and GW, the last cycle between CCS and GW does not have an inverted U relationship.…”

In this study, the effect of external debt (EXD -current US$) on carbon dioxide emissions (CO 2 -metric tons per capita) is examined by taking the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis as a basis for China. The relationships between CO 2 , gross domestic product per capita (GDP -constant 2010 US$), square of GDP (GD), energy consumption (EM -kg of oil equivalent per capita) and EXD is examined. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model and nonlinear ARDL model are used to examine symmetric and asymmetric relationships between the variables respectively for the period of 1978-2014 by including a structural break. China has had a growing EXD to support economic growth especially after the 2008 financial crisis. The results show that EXD and EM significantly and positively affect emissions (EMS). The asymmetric relationship between growth (GW) and EMS is confirmed. The EKC hypothesis is not confirmed for China. The results of the study are in line with the current economic structure of the Chinese economy. The Chinese economy is still over reliant on construction, heavy industries and real estate. Although China's current EXD is 13% of GDP, EXD is growing because private companies and local governments continue to invest heavily in construction and real estate, and have increased borrowing from abroad to cover operational costs since the central government's deleveraging policies have made borrowing from domestic markets more difficult.

Development of an Efficient Cooling Strategy in the Heading Face of Underground Mines

Heat damage in deep mines is severe and can lead to adverse health effects. The existing refrigeration schemes for the heading face in excavation roadways aim to cool the whole cooling region. However, the ratio of the area occupied by workers to that of the cooling region is quite small. A great quantity of energy for refrigeration is doomed to waste. In this study, a new cooling strategy for building a non-uniform environment in the heading face was developed. A certain quantity of well-designed tracking air coolers were distributed in the excavation roadway near the heading face. The air cooler tracked the constantly moving workers and blew cold air to them. Economic analysis based on estimation of the cooling load for this cooling strategy was conducted. The airflow in the excavation roadway was numerically simulated to estimate the cooling effect. An average energy saving of approximately 30% could be realized. The thermal environment for the workers whether near the heading face or in the roadway improved. This cooling strategy should be considered in all of mine cooling.
