Nexus between carbon emissions, economic growth, renewable energy use, urbanization, industrialization, technological innovation, and forest area towards achieving environmental sustainability in Bangladesh
Asif Raihan, Dewan Ahmed Muhtasim, Sadia Farhana et al. · 6 Aug 2022
Global climate change, exacerbated by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, notably carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, offers enormous risks to the environment, development, and long-term sustainability. This study looks at how economic growth, renewable energy utilization, urbanization, industrialization, technological innovation, and forest area might help Bangladesh attain environmental sustainability by lowering CO2 emissions. The autoregressive distributed lag…
Net-zero emissions energy systems: What we know and do not know
Inês M.L. Azevedo, Christopher Bataille, John Bistline et al. · 13 Aug 2021
Addressing climate change requires ambitious transformations, including ambitious transformations of energy systems. This will likely entail the design and implementation of “net-zero emissions systems,” which are energy systems that emit no net CO2 and potentially no net greenhouse gases. Interest in net-zero emissions energy systems has grown in recent years as countries, subnational jurisdictions, and…
Industry in a net-zero emissions world: New mitigation pathways, new supply chains, modelling needs and policy implications
Chris Bataille, Lars J Nilsson, Frank Jotzo · 30 Sep 2021
The objective implicit in the Paris Agreement, net-zero emissions around mid-century, has transformed the debate about heavy industry decarbonisation. Prior to Paris, the iron and steel, cement and concrete, chemicals, and other materials sectors were expected to reduce absolute emissions by perhaps half by 2050, through measures like energy efficiency, biofuels and carbon capture and…
The role of the power sector in net-zero energy systems
John Bistline, Geoffrey J. Blanford · 1 Jul 2021
Policymakers, planners, and other stakeholders are increasingly interested in net-zero emissions energy systems as countries and companies adopt net-zero goals. The power sector will play an important function in deeply decarbonized energy systems to lower emissions in other sectors through electrification and electricity-derived fuels. This article summarizes insights from the literature on the role and…
Net-zero CO2 by 2050 scenarios for the United States in the Energy Modeling Forum 37 study
Morgan Browning, James McFarland, John Bistline et al. · 10 Apr 2023
The Energy Modeling Forum (EMF) 37 study on deep decarbonization and high electrification analyzed a set of scenarios that achieve economy-wide net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in North America by mid-century, exploring the implications of different technology evolutions, policies, and behavioral assumptions affecting energy supply and demand. For this paper, 16 modeling teams reported resulting…
