“…Take Ningxia as an example, where coal accounts for 80% of total energy consumption. This hinders the healthy development of the sustainable energy consumption [80][81][82]. Again, in the case of Xinjiang, the proportion of coal declined from 50.0% in 1996 to 43.4% in 2002, and then increased from 44.3% in 2003 to 58.0% in 2014.…”

Rapid economic growth in Northwest China has been accompanied by a dramatic increase in carbon emissions. Based on the two-level Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method, this study decomposes changes in energy-related carbon emissions in Northwest China during 1995-2012 from the regional and provincial perspectives. Further, by constructing an expanded decomposition model of the decoupling index, this paper quantitatively analyzes delinking indicators of economic activity and environmental pressure in Northwest China. The results indicate that: (1) at both regional and provincial levels, economic activity effects play a crucial role in increasing carbon emissions, whereas improvements of energy efficiency appear as the main factor in curbing carbon missions; (2) the significance of influencing factors of CO 2 emissions varies across provinces. The role of economic activity in Shannxi is more pronounced compared to that of the other four provinces, as well as the role of population in Xinjiang; (3) when the decoupling relationship is considered, "relative decoupling" and "no decoupling" are the main characteristics under investigation during the examined period. Whereas "strong decoupling" was only identified in 2007 and 2009; (4) the current extensive pattern of economic growth in Northwest China poses a serious threat to the decoupling process. Furthermore, the coal-based energy structure also hinders the decoupling process. According to these results, some policy recommendations are proposed.

Highlights Biogas potential of hazelnut wastes and hazelnut shell residue in Giresun was evaluated. Giresun city of the total electricity production potential of the biomass sources was 38.21 GW h/year. The biogas potential of Giresun, which can be produced from these wastes, reduces CO 2 emissions by 273,954 tons.

“…Turkey is located at the meeting point of three continents-Asia, Europe and Africa. Turkey can be considered a natural bridge between West and East or Europe and Asia [5] According to the data of Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR), total energy consumption in Turkey in 2013 was 120.3 Million Tons of Oil Equivalent (MTOE). The total energy demand in Turkey increased 127% from in 1990 to 2013.…”

In this study, the optimum insulation thickness of the external walls of the housing and it's energy saving and environmental impact in the provinces-Ardahan, Aydın, Eskişehir and Samsun-located in four different climate regions of Turkey was calculated for the expanded polystyrene and polyurethane insulation materials. Natural gas and coal were selected as fuels. Ardahan in the coldest climate region and Aydın in the hottest climate region, for the coal and optimum thickness of expanded polystyrene and polyurethane insulation materials, the reduction of CO 2 and SO 2 emissions. In the study, the relations between annual energy cost saving and insulation thickness are given. The value of energy cost saving increases up to optimum insulation thickness and beyond this level, the energy cost saving is decreased. For coal and optimum thickness of expanded polystyrene and polyurethane insulation materials, the energy cost savings was higher for the cold climate regions when it was compared with the hot climate regions.
