“…In terms of environmental PAT, the empirical findings show resemblances with the studies of Adebayo et al (2023), Ahmad et al (2023), Liu et al (2023), and Yang et al (2023), who highlighted the eco‐friendly role of PAT. However, Cheng et al (2019) found that environmental patents may not be helpful in lowering ecological degradation.…”

Germany has set an ambitious goal of meeting the recommendations of COP‐26 and reducing its carbon intensity to zero by 2045. Germany is a leader in environmental patents after the United States, Japan, and South Korea, and the environmental implications of Germany's leadership in eco‐innovation hold important clues for achieving net zero goals. In particular, the European Union is one of the global communities making the greatest efforts to combat emissions, and the success of the leading role of environmental patents in this Union in reducing CO2 emissions is an important research topic for scholars. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of environmental patents on CO2 emissions under the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis in Germany. To this end, the study applies Bayer–Hanck and Fourier ADL approaches from 1970 to 2019. The main findings do not confirm the EKC hypothesis, while environmental patents play an active role in CO2 reduction. Based on these outcomes, Germany should consider a long‐term green policy to decouple economic growth and emissions. At the same time, German policy should promote the development and application of environmental patents to achieve the net zero targets for 2045.

“…Nevertheless, there are concerns among scholars and policymakers regarding the widespread adoption of nuclear energy. The concerns encompass a wide range of issues, including safety concerns pertaining to nuclear energy processing plants, worries related to proliferation, and the challenges connected with radioactive waste disposal and its accompanying costs (Yang et al, 2023). Although valid concerns exist, the advantages of nuclear energy may outweigh the disadvantages, especially for a densely populated developing nation like India that is experiencing a growing need for energy.…”

The escalating demand for fossil fuels in India has resulted in a significant strain on the environment due to the amplified emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Nevertheless, India possesses a significant capacity for nuclear energy, as seen by its 22 operational nuclear reactors. This capacity holds promise for reducing GHG emissions. This research utilized a dataset spanning from 1969 to 2021 to examine the impact of nuclear energy utilization on GHG emissions. The study also aimed to verify the validity of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis in India, employing the Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) model. The findings suggest that the EKC is applicable to India. Furthermore, it has been observed that a marginal increase of 1% in the use of nuclear energy leads to a reduction of GHG by 0.02% in the immediate term and 0.16% in the long term. This finding highlights the significance of expanding nuclear power as a crucial policy objective in order to attain environmentally friendly and sustainable economic development.

The path to China's zero‐carbon target: Implications for the relationship between de‐coal, economic output, and carbon dioxide emissions

This paper investigates the asymmetric impact of de‐coal in China on economic output and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through a nonlinear time series simulation over the period 1965–2021. The research also estimates the effects of using renewable energy as an alternative fuel to replace coal. The results show that the reducing effect of de‐coal on CO2 emissions is stronger than the increasing effect of coal consumption. The negative impact of de‐coal on economic growth is weak or insignificant. While renewable energy contributes to economic output, it has a reducing effect on CO2 emissions. At the end of the paper, China's targets to achieve carbon neutrality and de‐coal are discussed based on the findings.
