“…External energy dependence in the European countries, increasing energy demand and the decline in conventional hydrocarbon reserves underline the call for other sources of energy (i.e., renewable and nuclear energy), although fossil fuels will remain the main source of available energy [47]. Within this context, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been highlighted as a viable technology solution to reduce GHG emission and a mitigating strategy for climate change by Rodrigues et al (2015) [47], Raza et al (2019) [48], Mc Coy (2014) [49] and IEA (2011) [50]. An extension of carbon capture and storage technology is carbon capture and utilization (CCU) where the captured CO2 emission is also used as feedstock [51].…”

The Relationship between Economic Complexity, Energy Consumption Structure and Greenhouse Gas Emission: Heterogeneous Panel Evidence from the EU Countries

2019

The aim of the paper is to examine the long-term relationship between economic complexity, energy consumption structure, and greenhouse gas emission, within a panel of European Union countries and two subpanels: (i) European economies with higher economic complexity and (ii) European economies with a lower level of economic complexity. Taking into consideration the heterogeneity among European countries, the heterogeneous panel technique is used, including panel estimation through fully modified least squares (FMOLS) and dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS). The empirical findings indicate a long-term equilibrium relationship between economic complexity, energy consumption structure and greenhouse gas emission within all three panels. Economic complexity and energy consumption structure have a statistically significant impact on greenhouse gas emission within all panels, but the influence is higher within the subpanel of countries with a lower level of economic complexity, suggesting a higher risk of pollution as the economic complexity grows and as the energy balance inclines in favor of non-renewable energy consumption. Our paper suggests that the economic complexity is a variable that must be taken into consideration when national economic and energy policies are shaped. Finally, policy implications for each panel of countries are discussed.

“…One option is represented by Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) technology. Its use leads to a range of possible actions related not only to climate change mitigation, but also to innovation and competitiveness, reduction of energy intensity and raw material consumption [20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. In Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCUS) technology, the captured CO 2 emissions are further re-used or stored [27,28].…”

The aim of the paper is to apply the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) model in order to explore the link between economic complexity index (ECI) and carbon emissions, in 25 selected European Union (EU) countries from 1995–2017. The study examines a cointegrating polynomial regression (CPR) for a panel data framework as well as for simple time series of individual countries. In the model is also included the variable ‘energy intensity’ as main determinant of carbon emissions. Depending on economic complexity, the CO2 emissions pattern was found to exhibit an inverted U-shaped curve: in the initial phase, pollution increases when countries augment the complexity of the products they export using and after a turning point the rise of economic complexity suppress the pollutant emissions. The panel cointegration test indicates a long-run relationship between economic complexity, energy intensity and carbon emissions. It was also found that a rise of 10% of energy intensity would lead to a 3.9% increase in CO2 emissions. The quadratic model incorporating ECI is validated for the whole panel as well as for six countries (Belgium, France, Italy, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom). The graphical representation of the EKC in these countries is discussed. Policy implications are also included.

“…The level of CO 2 in the atmosphere has already reached an alarmingly dangerous level, and if it is left unchecked, it will be very catastrophic for the environment and life on earth. The method of carbon capture and sequestration to convert CO 2 into value added hydrocarbon is quite cumbersome and requires a huge amount of energy [5,6]. Hence, these methods of hydrogen production are not only economically profitable but also cause huge damage to the already fragile environment [7,8].…”

Laser Induced Anchoring of Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles on Polymeric Graphitic Carbon Nitride Sheets Using Pulsed Laser Ablation for Efficient Water Splitting under Visible Light

et al. 2020

A visible-light-active nickel oxide–graphitic carbon nitride (NiO@g-CN) hetero-structured nanocomposite was synthesized for the first time by pulsed laser ablation in liquid and used as a photoanode material in photoelectrochemical water-splitting reaction with a solar simulator. It was found that the photoelectrochemical performance of PLAL synthesized NiO@g-CN nanocomposite as photoanode, compared to g-CN as photoanode showed fourfold enhancements in photocurrent density under visible light. FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, and EDX consistently showed the proper anchoring of nano-sized NiO on g-CN. UV-DRS and the band gap estimation showed the narrowing down of the band gap energy and consequent enhancement in the visible-light absorption, whereas photoluminescence spectroscopy confirmed the reduction of the recombination of photo-excited electron hole pairs as a result of the anchoring of NiO on g-CN. The photoelectrochemical performance of g-CN and the NiO@g-CN nanocomposite photoanodes was compared by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), Chronoamperometry (I-t), and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). All of these results of the characterization studies account for the observed fourfold enhancement of photocurrent density of NiO@g-CN nanocomposite as photoanode in the photoelectrochemical reaction.
