Abstract:Energy is crucial to economic progress, but the contemporary worldwide population increase that demands greater energy generated from conventional exhaustible resources, an energy price upsurge, and environmental concerns, imperils sustainable economic growth. Nevertheless, switching to renewable energy produced from naturally replenished resources promotes energy security, likewise addressing issues such as global warming and climate change. This paper aims at exploring the influence and causal relation between renewable energy, both overall and by type, and sustainable economic growth of European Union (EU)-28 countries for the period of 2003-2014. We notice that the mean share of renewable energy in the gross final energy consumption is 15%, while the mean share of renewable energy in transport fuel consumption is 3%, which are below the thresholds of 20% and 10%, respectively, as set by the EU Directive 2009/28/EC. By estimating panel data fixed-effects regression models, the results provide support for a positive influence of renewable energy overall, as well as by type, namely biomass, hydropower, geothermal energy, wind power, and solar energy on gross domestic product per capita. However, biomass energy shows the highest influence on economic growth among the rest of renewable energy types. In fact, a 1% increase of the primary production of solid biofuels increases GDP per capita by 0.16%. Besides, cointegrating regressions set on panel fully modified and dynamic ordinary least squares regressions confirm the positive influence related to the primary production of renewable energies on economic growth. A 1% increase in primary production of renewable energies increases GDP per capita by 0.05%-0.06%. However, the results of Granger causality based on panel vector error correction model indicate both in short-run and long-run a unidirectional causal relationship running from sustainable economic growth to the primary production of renewable energies, being supported the conservation hypothesis.

“…Previous studies have examined impact of energy on climate change through adopting various econometric approaches, including time series data analysis, and concluded that energy consumption is the main contributor of CO 2 emissions in the environment which causes the change in climate . The same case was witnessed in Pakistan where the energy sector contributed over half of the total GHG emissions .…”

“…The total GHG emissions of Pakistan in 1994 were 181.7 Mt CO 2 ‐eq, which increased to 405.07 Mt CO 2 ‐eq in 2015 and are expected to rise to up to 1603 Mt CO 2 ‐eq by 2030, as can be seen in Table . Previous research review reveals that energy consumption is the chief contributor of CO 2 emissions in the environment . The transportation sector contributed 32.4% (13.6 million TOE) of total energy consumption by Pakistan in 2015, and the level of emissions is still growing .…”

A comprehensive review of sectorial contribution towards greenhouse gas emissions and progress in carbon capture and storage in Pakistan

The extreme amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) being released into the atmosphere has proved to be a globally challenging phenomenon that leads to changes in the climate and global warming. The amount of GHGs in the atmosphere has escalated immensely, with a substantial growth of 5.8% in 2010; a similar increase was observed in Pakistan as well. In Pakistan, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions stand at 54% of total GHG emissions whereas methane, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide and volatile organic carbon contribute to emissions at 36%, 9%, 0.75% and 0.3%, respectively. One of the key reasons for climatic changes is GHG emission generation from human interventions and activities related to transportation, urban development, industrialization, energy sources, farming and agriculture, waste's improper management, land use and forestry. In 2011, Pakistan's entire GHG emissions were a whopping 347 Mt of CO2‐eq, and by 2050, they are estimated to reach 4621 Mt CO2‐eq. This review evaluates and assesses GHG emissions generating from various sectors in Pakistan, in a socio‐scientific prospect that is caused by human activities and interventions in different economic sectors in Pakistan, endangering the environment across the country. Additionally, the review examines the current level of GHG emissions while accounting for China–Pakistan Economic Corridor–based emissions, abatement strategies including development of a state‐of‐the‐art technique for carbon capture and storage/utilization technologies in Pakistan. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…The volume of pollution related to a place, period, source, or flow is discussed using a kind of "common denominator": the intensity of CO 2 -i.e., carbon dioxide emissions [10]. Following Steen [11] or Ahmad et al [10], the largest contribution to the greenhouse effect also stems from emissions of carbon dioxide.…”

This article reports estimates of the level of CO 2 emissions created by Formula One (F1) cars on Sunday races. Supported by a variety of sources and using Monte Carlo iterations, we obtained values identifying important periods of change. These periods were identified using tests of structural breaks. We observe that the 1966-1970 period (related to the dominance of DFV/Cosworth engines) is associated with an increase in CO 2 emissions, whereas the 1992-1995 period (related to lighter and more efficient engines) is associated with a decrease in estimated levels of emitted CO 2 . Our results do not identify the deep modifications following more "green" regulations in 2009-2011 as a relevant change.
