“…Numerous researchers focus on achieving high efficiency and selectivity in electrocatalysis. 154 Experimental findings illustrate three popular methods 172 of lignin electrocatalytic oxidation as follows: (1) The electrode surface supports an electrode material or a heterogeneous catalyst with catalytic effects. (2) REDOX active substances are small molecules with high mass transfer rates that can be irregularly dispersed in the electrolytes.…”

“…27,28 The largest proportion of β−O-4 bonds in all the connected chemical bonds of lignin is about 60% of the total long-chain lignin molecules. 1 Therefore, the primary focus of photocatalytic conversion of lignin is to efficiently cleave the heterobonds containing oxygen. This can usually be achieved in one of three ways: 29 Simultaneously, due to the influence of the preoxidation process, the original stable structure of the link bond between C α and C β is destroyed, which will make it more prone to fracture.…”

Nowadays and in the future, environment and energy are important issues that people have to consider. In order to achieve energy sustainability and minimize the increase in environmental pressure, researchers have begun to gradually develop new ways of energy access. Biomass resource is a sustainable and efficient mode of energy supply, which has little impact on the environment. Among them, lignin is a rich organic compound in natural plants and is a promising biomass source. According to different forms of energy, different lignin catalytic cracking reactions can be used. This paper systematically summarizes the research progress of lignin catalytic cracking under different energy effects and focuses on the opportunities of lignin catalytic cracking at this stage. The challenges and future research directions of lignin catalytic cracking and directional conversion composite catalytic system are summarized and discussed. On this basis, a critical perspective based on experiment is proposed. It provides a richer catalytic model for the efficient conversion of lignin into fuel and high-value chemicals in the future. In conclusion, this Review offers insights into future directions for catalytic cracking of lignin through synergistic utilization of multiple energy sources.

“…Renewable energy, which consists of solar, hydropower and wind, offers an alternative to nonrenewable energy for substantially reducing carbon emissions and moving towards a more sustainable economy (Ali & Seraj, 2022; Shahbaz et al, 2018). The exploitation of energy sources that do not deplete natural resources is beneficial to both the economy and the environment (Yu et al, 2023).…”

Testing the effects of banking development, economic growth and foreign direct investment on renewable energy in South Africa

et al. 2023

The world's climate‐related policies need to be revised to combat environmental issues. Therefore, adopting renewable energy technologies in conjunction with energy efficiency measures are needed to make safe pathways to reduce over 90% of energy related CO2. In this context, this study intends to assess the influence of foreign direct investment (FDI), economic growth, and banking and development on renewable energy consumption in South Africa from 1970 to 2020. The study uses a novel ‘bootstrap Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL)’ testing to empirically analyse the short and long links among the tested variables. The ARDL estimations demonstrate a FDI and economic growth have positive effect on renewable energy consumption. Furthermore, the outcomes reveal that banking sector development affects positively renewable energy use in long run. Therefore, it is suggested that government and playmakers of South Africa must make more efforts to link the economic and baking development with renewable energy by investing capital and funds in renewable energy infrastructure. It will not only boost the economy of the country but also provide an opportunity to clean and green the environment with decreasing rate of greenhouse gases emission like carbon dioxide.

Environmental degradation and climate change problems in the African continent seriously hit country economies and human health, negatively affecting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). African countries have the potential to use economic development and renewable energy as a tool for their environmental sustainability. In this context, this study examines the effects of economic growth, modern renewable energy, and combustible renewable energy on ecological footprint (EF) in five African countries. To this end, the study uses novel regularization common correlated effects and half‐panel jackknife approaches on data from 2006 to 2020. The findings of the study show that economic progress effectively reduces the EF of African countries, but renewable energy does not contribute to ecological progress. Due to their insufficient and ineffective utilization, renewable energies are not an important tool for improving ecological systems. Therefore, African countries should prioritize their economic development as a priority goal. Based on the results, African countries experiencing economic advancement should bolster for SDGs objectives through green financial incentives.
