“…One such factor is firm size, which has been reported by prior work to have a significant influence on carbon emissions. Rosita et al (2022) demonstrated a negative relationship between firm size and the level of carbon emissions. Luo et al (2012) reported that large firms are more motivated to disclose their carbon emissions activities and have a greater awareness of the importance of social responsibility.…”

“…For example, Chen et al (2014) evaluated carbon emission reduction targets in coastal shipping services, whereas Wu et al (2020) investigated the allocation of carbon emission rights in China's six high‐energy‐consuming industries. Other researchers have examined the impact of certain financial variables, such as firm characteristics including firm size and firm industry (Luo et al, 2012; Pan et al, 2022; Rosita et al, 2022), and economic and institutional factors, such as economic pressure, customer preference, and regulatory environment, on carbon emission reduction and carbon disclosure (Luo et al, 2012; Pan et al, 2022). However, these developing streams of research regarding the carbon emission and carbon emission reduction target leave many gaps.…”

This study first investigates emission reduction targeting among polluting firms in the basic materials sector. We assess whether firms that produce a greater amount of carbon emissions are more likely to set emission reduction targets in the basic materials sector. Further, we test whether female directors are influential in moderating between emission reduction targeting and carbon emissions. The sample covers publicly traded firms in the basic materials sector listed in the Thomson Reuters Eikon database between 2010 and 2021. We perform country and year fixed effects regression analysis, as the firms in the sample are from diverse countries. We find that firms that produce more carbon emissions are more likely to set emission reduction targets and that female directors negatively moderate the relationship between emission reduction targeting and carbon emissions. Thus, firms with more female directors on their boards are more likely to reduce their carbon emissions via emission reduction targeting.

“…This energy contributes significantly to the environment by reducing carbon emissions and air pollution [1]. Due to the extensive use of conventional energy, specifically fuel oil (BBM), carbon and air pollution have increased [2]. Not only does fuel have a high resale value, but it is also dwindling in supply.…”

Solar energy, a ubiquitous and environmentally friendly source, plays a pivotal role in mitigating carbon emissions and reducing air pollution. This study evaluates the performance of a 50-watt monocrystalline solar panel over a thirty-day period in October 2022, within Merauke Regency, South Papua Province, Indonesia. Adopting an experimental research methodology and comprehensive data collection, measurements of solar intensity, temperature, voltage, and current were systematically gathered using temperature sensors, ammeters, and voltmeters. These measurements were obtained by positioning the solar panel at a perpendicular angle to direct sunlight, with data recorded between 9:00 and 16:00 Eastern Indonesia Time. The analysis of the collected data was conducted to ascertain the panel's efficacy, revealing an average output of 20.68 volts, 1.95 amperes, 40.37 watts, and a 9% efficiency. Notably, peak performance was observed on the tenth day, characterized by 21.30 volts, 2.24 amperes, 47.71 watts, and an efficiency of 11.01%. The findings of this investigation are anticipated to inform the installation and utilization strategies of similar solar panel types within Merauke Regency and potentially broader applications. This study underscores the critical influence of solar irradiance on the operational performance of monocrystalline silicon solar panels, contributing valuable insights to the field of renewable energy research.

“…Furthermore, some energy-related emissions studies targeting firm-specific characteristics include [ 28 – 31 ]. For example, the study by [ 28 ] investigated the methods to effectively reduce CO 2 emissions from the manufacturing industry in Indonesia by firm dynamics. The LMDI method was adopted to split the carbon emissions variation into the primary factors inducing changes in emissions.…”

Exploring the CO2 emissions drivers in the Nigerian manufacturing sector through decomposition analysis and the potential of carbon tax (CAT) policy on CO2 mitigation

The CO2 emissions trend and their reduction potential in the Nigerian manufacturing sector from 2010 to 2020 were studied. The Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index was applied to decompose the change in CO2 emissions into pre-set factors: carbon intensity effects, firm energy intensity effects, cost structure effects, asset-turnover effect, asset-to-equity effect, equity-funded production effect and productive capacity utilization. The results show that the change in emissions increased by $$1668\times {10}^{12}$$ 1668 × 10 12 GJ between 2010 and 2020. Energy intensity and equity-funded production were the leading drivers of increased emissions, while productive capacity utilization reduced emissions. The CO2 emissions increased throughout the study, except for a few periods. Without a carbon tax policy, the results show that firm-level drivers increased CO2 emissions in the business-as-usual scenario. However, under the 5% carbon tax (CAT) policy scenario on energy consumption, there was a reduction in CO2 emissions between 2010 and 2020. Furthermore, a CAT policy of 5% on energy consumption reduced CO2 emissions by 22%. A further implication of CAT policy, given its interaction with firm-level drivers, resulted in lowering CO2 emissions in the interactional scenario. The findings indicate productive capacity utilization, equity-funded production, and CAT impacted CO2 emissions variation.
