“…Second, the development of the Internet has promoted the exchange of information between industries and accelerated the speed of technological development, thereby decreasing energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and achieving the improvement of CEE (Wang et al, 2022d). In addition, we consider that China has used big data, digital economy, and other related technologies to accelerate the development of clean energy in recent years to achieve the target of carbon neutrality, which has also promoted the improvement of China's CEE (Wang et al, 2022a;Wang et al, 2021b). Hypothesis 1 has been verified.…”

“…Tapio decoupling index and OECD decoupling index are two widely used methods for decoupling in the current literature (Song et al 2023 ; Wang et al 2021a ; Yang et al 2023 ). The former directly measures the change rate of environmental quality as economic development changes, which introduces the concept of elasticity into decoupling indicators, while the latter adopts a more complicated relationship that can describe other marginal contributions (Wang et al 2021b ). In this study, we adopt the Tapio decoupling index method to measure the decoupling status of CO2-GDP in Central Asian countries.…”

Emerging countries are at the frontier of climate change actions, and carbon emissions accounting provides a quantifiable measure of the environmental impact of economic activities, which allows for comparisons of emissions across different entities. However, currently there is no study covering detailed emissions inventories for emerging countries in Central Asian. This paper compiles detailed and accurate carbon emissions inventories in several Central Asian countries (i.e., Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Palestine, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan) during the period 2010–2020. Using the IPCC administrative territorial approach, we for the first time compile their emissions inventories in 47 economic sectors and five energy categories. Moreover, we also investigate decoupling status based on Tapio decoupling model and examine emissions driving factors based on the index decomposition analysis method. The primary results illustrate that carbon emissions in Central Asian countries are increasing with huge differences. Decoupling results highlight that most of the sample countries still need more effort to decouple the economy and emissions except that Pakistan achieves an ideal strong decoupling state. The results of the decomposition indicate that the economy and population both raise emissions, while energy intensity and carbon intensity are negative drivers in some countries. We propose practical policy implications for decarbonization and energy transition roadmap in Central Asian countries.

“…Using renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, hydrogen, biomass, and wood pellet power, has been proven to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide emissions and other harmful gases from production. This reduces air pollution in the environment over time (Lima et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2021;Bello and Solarin, 2022).…”

The development of wood pellets as a sustainable energy source derived from biomass waste has not significantly increased over the past few decades, despite a rise in demand for and sales of its products worldwide. Several variables contribute to the intricate issue of creating wood pellets from biomass waste as a renewable energy source, including the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders, including the government, financial institutions, academia, the manufacturing sector, and non-governmental organizations. This article uses a waste management model that employs the Soft System Methodology (SSM) approach to assess the challenge of producing wood pellets from biomass waste as a renewable energy source and possible solutions. Data and information on the development of wood pellets as a renewable energy source derived from biomass waste were acquired through a literature review and in-depth interviews with specialists. The study’s findings demonstrate that using the SSM technique leads to a conceptual model that depicts the interactions between sub-elements to enhance the development of wood pellets as a biomass waste-derived renewable energy source. This concept was developed to lessen any adverse effects and enhance the processing of biomass waste. The success of goals is determined by the importance of each actor’s role and the collaboration of other actors, including local, national, and corporate governments. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry is the primary stakeholder and has a say in policy and program formulation. The Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mineral Resources, financial institutions, and other relevant organizations can help with this effort.
