“…The present age of the COVID-19 epidemic has led to several research examining the function that various metals serve as hedges or safe havens in this uncertain time. For instance, ( Chang et al, 2023a ) investigated the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the gold and oil markets and found that it had asymmetries. The results of the BEKK-AGARCH model showed that the oil market's influence on the gold market was somewhat more significant during the epidemic.…”

“…The situation is different in systems No. 2,3,4,6,10,11, where there are inactive quarries in different statuses: temporarily stopped, mothballed or closed, however, compared to active quarries, they have priority in restoring the earth's surface level disturbed by mining operations. On the one hand, the presence of inactive quarry cavities in the specified systems indicates a priority for backfilling.…”

“…The rapid exponential growth of the planet's population has led to an increase in the consumer activity level, which in turn increases the demand for natural resources [1]- [3]. A special place is occupied by mining of various minerals, which are used in various sectors of the economy, making it possible to create products, technologies and goods necessary for human life and development [4]- [6]. Mining generates significant foreign exchange earnings for the economies of many countries, but at the same time causes severe damage to the natural environment.…”

Purpose. The research is aimed to identify, investigate and study the parameters and characteristics of the “quarry cavities – backfill material” systems on the territory of Ukraine using new comprehensive methodological tools that form the basis for the development of effective methods for restoring the earth’s surface with an emphasis on industrial and construction use. Methods. An integrated approach is used, which includes: analysis of the spatial location of industrial waste heaps on the territory of Ukraine as potential backfill materials and resulting quarry cavities that are not subject to complete earth’s surface restoration, as well as determination of the volumes of resulting cavities and backfill materials. Based on a set of factors, the “quarry cavities – backfill material” systems have been ranked according to priority. Tools used are: information data from the State Informational Geological Fund of Ukraine, registers of industrial waste accumulation sites in region, the Google Earth satellite program, an online topographic map (OpenStreetMap) and Blender program for constructing 3D models. Findings. A new concept and theoretical representation of “quarry cavities – backfill material” has been formulated. The characteristics of a number of important conditions for the harmonious existence and effective implementation of promising “quarry cavities – backfill material” systems are provided. A new information-analytical map of the spatial location of potential backfill materials and resulting quarry cavities has been created. Thirteen promising systems and their parameters have been identified, within which it is appropriate to consider backfill technologies for the complete earth’s surface restoration. The existing balance of cavities and backfill materials for the identified systems has been determined, followed by grading of quarries according to the predicted lifespan. Originality. The “quarry cavities – backfill material” systems, which have the greatest advantages, are specified by ranking them according to a complex of technological, environmental, economic and social factors. Practical implications. The results obtained provide valuable information for the development of a government strategy and environmental programs for the restoration of land areas disturbed by mining operations based on backfill technologies and their subsequent use for industrial purposes.

“…Additionally, renewable energy development heavily relies on essential resources, particularly minerals, which are crucial for production [ 48 ]. [ 49 ] investigated the influence of mineral resource trading on renewable energy development using data from 30 Chinese provinces. Their study emphasizes the need to increase the proportion of renewable energy in the energy mix and enhance mineral reprocessing rates to support renewable energy capacity investments.…”

Institutions and energy production sources shape environmental policies and practices. Institutions establish frameworks for renewable energy and enforce environmental protection measures. Conventional energy sources cause pollution and climate change, while green energy sources have lower environmental impacts. In this study we analyzed how quality institutions, along with different types of energy production sources affect the quality of environment in 101 countries that are part of the BRI, a global development project. We used a statistical method called panel quantile regression to analyze data from 2000 to 2020. We found that producing energy from renewable sources, such as wind and solar, reduces CO2 emissions by 0.003% in BRI countries. However, producing energy from non-renewable sources, such as gas and coal, harms the environment more in high-income and middle-income countries. We also found that having better institutional quality reduces CO2 emissions by 3.421%, 2.710%, and 0.006% in different groups of BRI countries. This means that having stronger and fairer institutions can help protect the environment by limiting the use of non-renewable energy sources and encouraging the use of renewable ones. Our study suggests that improving institutional quality is a key factor for achieving green energy and environmental sustainability in BRI countries.
