“…South Korea has set a goal of net-zero energy buildings. By 2023, all public buildings with a floor area of more than 500 square meters must use renewable energy systems to meet 80% of their primary energy consumption [6]. The harmonious development of economic systems and ecosystems depends heavily on renewable energy production [7,8].…”

Does Environmental Decentralization Promote Renewable Energy Development? A Local Government Competition Perspective

Renewable energy development is a long-term means of addressing the climate challenge and achieving environmental sustainability. This study examines the relationship between environmental decentralization, local government competition, and renewable energy production using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces from 2000 to 2021. The empirical results show that environmental decentralization significantly inhibits renewable energy development, indicating a lack of foresight among local governments in environmental governance issues. In addition, local government competition amplifies the detrimental effects of environmental decentralization on renewable energy production. Although the decentralization of environmental administrative power hinders renewable energy production, the decentralization of environmental monitoring power promotes it. However, insufficient evidence is available to conclude that regional characteristics and threshold variables can alter the inhibitory effect of environmental decentralization on renewable energy production, even though the effects of environmental decentralization on the production of renewable energy exhibit geographical variation and non-linear characteristics. The findings of this study contribute to optimizing environmental policies to motivate local governments to pursue long-term environmental governance goals.

“…The relationship between fossil fuel consumption and economic growth has also been extensively studied, with most studies finding a positive relationship between the two variables [ 7 ]. However, some studies have found a negative relationship, suggesting that high levels of fossil fuel consumption may hinder economic growth due to negative externalities such as pollution and resource depletion [ 6 ].…”

“…In [20], the maximization of the use of renewable energy through energy sharing between two residential houses and two office buildings in South Korea was investigated by means of simulations. Building-integrated photovoltaic and photovoltaic and thermal systems allowed 46.2% more renewable energy compared to a conventional community.…”

The residential sector is currently responsible for approximately 30% of the final energy consumption and 12% of direct CO2 emissions in Italy, mainly due to the heating and cooling of buildings and the use of domestic hot water. Such figures show a significant potential for reducing non-renewable primary energy utilization to comply with the decarbonization constraints of the European Union. In this context, the purpose of this work is to provide a quantitative assessment of the effect of a different number of actions (eight for energy savings, four for energy efficiency and two for the installation of renewable energy plants) that could be implemented at the national level to reduce the consumption of natural gas in the residential sector. Two typical residential buildings are dynamically simulated using Trnsys®, and the savings from energy, economic and CO2 emissions points of view are evaluated in the different climatic zones of Italy. The most effective action foresees the replacement of natural gas boilers and old air conditioners with modern heat pumps and air/air chillers as well as the installation of a controlled mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery. This solution allows for non-renewable primary energy savings of 58% and an economic savings on annual energy costs of 72%.
