“…The coverage of these combined initiatives is significant and amounts to around 12 gigatons of CO 2 equivalent (GtCO 2 e), which is approximately 23% of global GHG emissions [24]. Models suggest substantial potential for carbon pricing, a notable example being a case study in Canada [25].…”

Research on climate change mitigation has increasingly considered carbon pricing, with these efforts concentrating on reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Our comprehensive cross-country analysis extends this focus by quantitatively evaluating the effects of carbon pricing on four major pollutants: CO2, nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and particulate matter (PM). We use regressions and introduce entropy balancing to this research area. Analyzing data from 132 countries from 1992 to 2019, we find that carbon pricing is associated with an average annual reduction in CO2 emissions by 3 percentage points. A one-unit increase in a coverage-weighted carbon price is associated with reductions in N2O emissions by approximately 0.1 percentage points. A shorter panel for 2010–2017 shows a larger impact of 0.3 percentage points for PM. These findings underline the efficacy of carbon pricing not just in curtailing CO2 but in significantly mitigating other harmful pollutants on a global scale. Reductions in pollutants beyond CO2 provide further motivation for policymakers to pursue carbon pricing.

“…Because they all measure various things and have distinct purposes, there is a huge variety of them. For sustainable development goals to be achieved, energy policies must reflect the true value of energy to society [98][99][100]. Human well-being must be prioritized, the natural environment conserved, and the conditions of materials used to produce these energies are easily replenished to preserve world resources and defend against the consequences of climate change.…”

Sustainable energy development (SED) is a crucial component of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), aiming to maintain economic and social progress while protecting the environment and mitigating climate change’s effects. SED serves as a transition paradigm for sustainable development, providing a blueprint for energy peace and prosperity for people and all uses. This article presents the history of SED and then uses a critical discourse approach to summarize existing review studies in SED. Ten interlinked themes of SED are identified, with two of them considered to be among the least studied in existing SED reviews and in the current global discussion around climate change. This study explores these two themes, which include energy financing and the need for 100% renewable energy (RE), a sub-theme of decarbonization strategy working towards the 1.5–2.0 °C scenario. The study suggests that the current G20 countries’ contributions, if maintained continuously per annum, in addition to 80% more funding from private investment compared to the amount in the 1.5 °C scenario financial requirements for clean energy, are sufficient to limit global warming. In addition to the present drive for 100% RE, the article also discusses emerging issues, such as energy storage options with an indication of hydrogen as the most promising, other energy-related development agendas, and the need for regional security stability to prevent energy wars. Selected SED decarbonization strategies are presented across the power, transport, building, and industrial sectors. The study concludes with progress and directions for future research, mainly the need for re-defining nationally determined contribution (NDC) through an emissions budgeting and centralized global or regional emissions stock-taking strategy working towards the 1.5 °C scenario.

“…Heavy crude oils or emulsified crude oils from oil sands consume a higher amount of energy during processing and, hence, results in a larger CO 2 footprint. Conventional refining and oil extraction technologies have a higher CO 2 footprint primarily when heavy oils are considered. , There is a scope to use cavitation-based process intensification that can potentially reduce the energy requirement for the refining and extraction of crude oil. In addition, the yield of various refinery products can also increase.…”

Petroleum refineries are one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG)emitting industrial sectors. One of the ways by which refineries can reduce emissions is by reducing the consumption of utilities (heat and steam) required in the refineries or by increasing the throughput of the refinery. Process intensification is one way by which throughput can be increased, and also process heat requirements can be reduced. Cavitation-driven process intensification has created many opportunities in the field of nanoparticle synthesis, wastewater treatment, water disinfection, crystallization, depolymerization, extraction, and emulsification. In recent years, cavitation-assisted bitumen processing has been explored in petroleum refineries. The present Review focuses on the studies related to cavitationally driven transformations in bitumen processing. Case studies have been critically reviewed in various aspects related to the use of cavitation in bitumen recovery from sands, bitumen viscosity reduction, bitumen desulfurization, improving compatibility of rubberized bitumen, bitumen nanoemulsion, and bitumen wastewater treatment. The present Review would be a ready reckoner highlighting the relative advantages and the current status of cavitation-assisted applications of bitumen. This Review also highlights the research gap and proposes future work in the area of cavitation technology for bitumen processing.
