The digital economy is considered important to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. This paper explores the impact of the digital economy on carbon emissions and renewable energy development using panel data for 67 countries from 2005–2019. The results show that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the …
While embodied emissions can and should be reduced across all stages of the cycle, it is recognized that the most impact can usually be achieved in the first two stages – often referred to as upfront carbon, which can account for two thirds or more of the total embodied emission – when the main design and structural decisions are taken and ...
Preliminary estimation shows that the per capita carbon emissions would be reduced from the peak level of 6.2 tonnes in 2014 to about 4.5 tonnes in 2020.

2010-2019 is the warmest decade on record. On the current path of carbon dioxide emissions, the global temperature is expected to increase by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius by the end of century. To avoid the worst of warming (maximum 1.5°C rise), the world will need to decrease fossil fuel production by roughly 6 per cent per year between 2020 and 2030.

In the table reported below, upgrading from a standard M6 filter to an E12 hydrophobic filter could save you up to 35 000 tonnes in CO2 emissions, per year, or a 5% reduction from your total emissions per megawatt hour produced. This is equivalent to removing 18 000 cars from the road. Assuming part load application; Heat rate: 8 600kJ/kWh ...
The researchers estimated that if all 28 EU countries (the UK was still part of the EU at the time of the study) adopted E20, it could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of 25.4Mt (mega-tonnes) of carbon dioxide – about 8.2% of the current emissions from gasoline in the EU.
The Swedish Government has set out several emissions reduction initiatives in the 2021 budget, including funding to reduce carbon emissions, including a focus on industrial emissions, with a budget of SEK 1.86 billion in 2021, SEK 1.14 billion in 2022 and SEK 0.52 billion in 2023. By means of the green credit guarantees, the government intends ...
The NDC for Germany is to reduce carbon emissions by 40% from 1990 to 2030. Germany''s carbon emissions were 1052 Mt CO 2 in 1990, and 795 Mt CO 2 in 2015.
Yet estimates of Chinese emissions remain subject to large uncertainty; inventories of China''s total fossil fuel carbon emissions in 2008 differ by 0.3 gigatonnes of carbon, or 15 per cent1,3,4,5.
It is there that governments and businesses are working to reduce their carbon emissions and to build climate resilience. The movement toward greater action is gaining momentum.
China''s per capita CO 2 emissions have tripled between 2000 and 2021, and have surpassed the figures of the UK and the EU from 2013 onwards [ 52 ]. By the end of 2020, emission intensity decreased by 19.3% compared to that in 2015, beating the official target of an 18.0% reduction set for the 13th Five-Year Plan.
Americans, specifically, waste about 25 percent of the food we buy. According to Project Drawdown, adopting a vegetarian diet can also cut emissions, by about 63 percent, while going vegan can ...
The pursuit of low-carbon, environmentally sustainable development has sparked a surge of interest in studying the ways in which digital technology can play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions. Using data from 30 diverse regions in China over 12 years (2008–2019), this paper constructs a comprehensive index of digital technology …
The development level of the digital economy has a heterogeneous impact on carbon emissions. With the improvement of the development level of the digital economy, the effect on emission reduction is more significant. As a threshold variable, green energy efficiency affects the relationship between digital economy and carbon emissions.
As a first step, the US and EU announced that: • the US will no longer apply the Section 232 tariffs on a certain amount of EU exports of steel and aluminium from 1st January 2022. • in response, the EU will suspend its rebalancing measures against the US that were introduced in June 2018 in response to the US Section 232 tariffs on steel ...
In 2017, total emissions of greenhouse gases in Hungary were 63.8 million tonnes carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2-eq) excluding the LULUCF sector. …
In carbon-accounting terms, such replacements and procedural changes will reduce cement''s environmental impact, and that of concrete, too. But they still involve carbon emissions.
Hungary accounts for 1.7 % of total EU greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and has reduced its emissions at a slower pace than the EU average since 2005. The carbon intensity of the Hungarian economy decreased by 35 % between 2005 and 2019, at a faster rate than the EU-27 average.

Hungary''s transition to clean energy can enable it to achieve greater energy security and independence as it navigates the supply challenges that Russia''s invasion of Ukraine has created for countries across Europe, according to a new in-depth policy review by the International Energy Agency. Hungary has a strong starting point for its ...
tants in Hungary is relatively low among the EU Member States, only Romania and Latvia have fewer vehicles per capita (Fig. 2). The secondary driving force may be the carbon intensity of cars (CO 2 emissions per year of use of a car, Fig. 3), in Hungary the carbon intensity of the car fleet is the 7th best in the European Union.
