“…The climatic records for Romania showed an increase that was similar or even slightly more pronounced. The average annual temperature increased over the last 33 years by 0.5°C (1981-2013 / 10.2°C), or 0.16°C per decade (Diniz Oliveira et al, 2019). The warmest year in the history of meteorological records in the country was 2007.…”

The European mitigation strategy for combatting climate change requires up-to-date knowledge about the environmental effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the national scale. As a strong response to the consequences of climate change, the European Union has imposed on the member states an obligation to achieve the goals set out in the climate and energy package, which were aimed at reducing emissions. Therefore, underlying the trends of GHG emissions is essential when establishing climate change mitigation measures. This study identify the structure and dynamics of the GHG emissions of the six sectors of the European economies, over 27 years, and reveal the significance, direction, rate, and drivers of the observed trends using the method of modifying the absolute mean. The results indicate a decrease in the GHG emissions in the EU-28 by an average of 1% annually, which can be explained by a mixt factors, such as resize of the industry, improved energy efficiency, the growing share of renewables and less use of carbon fuels. Moreover, through the environmental policies adopted in the last decade, was observed that the GHG emissions level in 2017 had declined by approximately 25% in comparison with the reference (1990) and by approximately 17% by 2005. From the 28 EU countries (EU-28), Romania produced 4.2% of the total EU-28 GHG emissions in 1999, which decreased to 2.7% in 2005 and reaching 2.3% in 2017. Romania contributed to 14% of the average annual decrease in emissions. This evidence highlights the additional support for further reduction beyond that required for climate change mitigation.

“…However, it is precisely these relatively underdeveloped economies that are facing more complex environmental issues. In recent years, scholars have begun to pay attention to the treatment effects of market-oriented environmental policy tools in emerging-market countries and developing countries [37][38][39], such as Oliveira et al (2019), who applied the Economic Projection and Policy Analysis (EPPA6) model to assess ETS cooperation between Brazil and Europe. This showed that a domestic ETS reduces emissions and promotes technological substitution towards alternative energy for both participants [40].…”

How to effectively identify the spatial effect of the emissions trading system(ETS) on urban green total factor productivity(GTFP) generated through the linkage of economic factors between cities is a necessary part of scientifically evaluating the effect of ETS policy in emerging- market countries. This study aims to examine the spatial effect, mechanism, and heterogeneity of the ETS on urban GTFP based on the panel data of 281 cities from 2004 to 2017 in China, applying spatial difference-in-differences(DID) Durbin model (SDID-SDM) with multidimensional fixed effect (FE). The results show that ETS significantly improves the GTFP of the pilot cities, produces a spatial spillover effect and the results are robust to the placebo test, propensity score matching SDID (PSM-SDID) test, and Carbon-ETS interference test. Further analysis shows that the policy effect is mainly driven by improving energy efficiency, promoting green innovation, and optimizing the industrial structure. In addition, we found that ETS performs better in regions with a high degree of marketization, strong environmental law enforcement, and a low proportion of coal consumption. In general, the identification method of this study can be used as a scientific reference for conducting similar research in other emerging countries.

“…In addition, in terms of Brazil's accord (2020), the National Climate Change Fund has a budget of approximately R$ 1.07 billion for the period between 2020-2023, with the objective of fulfilling the targets established by the Paris Accord in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 37% below 2005 levels by 2025, and by 43% by 2030, based on the following measures: combatting deforestation; increasing the participation of bioenergy by 18% by 2030 and reaching a total of 45% renewable energy within the energy matrix by 2030 (OLIVEIRA, GURGEL and TONRY, 2019).…”

In view of the growing importance of distributed generation, the pluralization of the energy matrix close to large consumption centers has become necessary. In this sense, the energy sector can contribute to electricity generation using waste products such as vinasse, the most relevant in terms of volume and polluting capacity. The general objective of this article is to analyze the economic feasibility of using vinasse for electricity generation, and as a specific objective, to identify the viable price range of MWh in free and regulated energy environments and the productive capacity of plants for this type of investment. The methodology used was quantitative research, based on the cost structure of a biodigester IC internal combustion engine with 38% yield and vinasse logistics according to the production capacity of autonomous plants of 100 m3, 1,000 m3, and 3,000 m3ethanol/day for scenarios with and without tax exemptions for a price range between US$ 26.04 and US$ 130.20/MWh. The analysis shows that the use of vinasse for electricity generation is restricted to medium and large producers. Furthermore, the price of MWh is more relevant than the tax exemption for the feasibility of this type of project. This corroborates the constant requests from the sugar-energy sector to hold exclusive electricity auctions for biomass, given its cost structure and its social, economic, and environmental externalities.
