Summary: Solar photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects (PPAPs) in China have played a positive role in addressing energy shortages and reducing poverty. However, there is limited research on energy poverty in these project areas. This study has developed a three-dimensional theoretical model to assess and analyze energy poverty in PPAP areas, and the results demonstrate the significant impact of these projects on improving energy service availability and the importance of farmers' economic status and education in alleviating energy poverty.

Summary: The photovoltaic poverty alleviation project (PPAP) has gained attention in China for integrating solar photovoltaics and poverty alleviation. Among the four different modes, village level and jointly-village level PPAP are the most effective, with bank loans playing a significant role in increasing the number of benefited households. The beneficiary ratio is critical to the effectiveness of corporations' participation.

Summary: Using a unique micro dataset from 2014-2021, we analyze the China's Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation (PVPA) program and find that it effectively reduces poverty by increasing household income, reducing inequality within villages, and promoting off-farm labor supply. The program has a greater impact on households with high dependency ratios and in villages with well-educated officials. The benefit-cost ratio of the community-based PVPA stations is greater than one, indicating its cost-effectiveness.

Summary: China's Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Projects (PPAP) have successfully fought poverty, but the impact on the energy transition, energy consumption, and environment for the rural poor are still unknown. This study highlights the importance of rural electrification for improving the rural environment and respecting residents' survival and development. It also emphasizes the crucial role of energy and environmental perceptions among the poor. The current PPAP program needs to have a greater impact on reducing the ecological footprint, which can be achieved through further access to electricity in rural areas, raising environmental awareness among the poor, and focusing on household off-grid PV plants.

Summary: China's photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects (PPAPs) have significantly reduced poverty in rural low-income families by improving livelihood capital values, especially in enhancing economic conditions and social capital, while performing poorly in increasing human and natural capital. Differences exist in the anti-poverty effect of PPAPs across different types of solar photovoltaic resource areas.

Summary: This paper explores the rebound effect of carbon emissions during industrial structure transformation under resource dependence. The key findings indicate that resource dependence distorts the carbon reduction effect of industrial structure transformation, but environmental protection technology can correct this distortion effect and amplify the reduction effects of industrial structure rationalization on carbon emissions. The development of energy-saving technology has a paradoxical impact on carbon emissions reduction during industrial structure rationalization.

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.

Summary: This study uses survey data from the Loess Plateau in China to evaluate the impact of social interaction on the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) technology by farmers. The study finds that social interaction increases the likelihood of farmers adopting SWC, and internet use moderates this effect. The positive impact of social interaction on SWC adoption is more pronounced for farmers in larger villages and those who join cooperative societies.
