Summary: Based on the research, there are differences among provinces and cities in the Bohai Rim region in reaching the carbon peak. Provinces with low energy intensity like Beijing and Tianjin need to focus on developing renewable energy technologies, while those with heavy energy structures like Shandong and Shanxi may reach the carbon peak before 2030. Provinces like Hebei and Inner Mongolia with advanced renewable energy utilization may reach the carbon peak before 2026.

Summary: This research examines the relationship between political ideology and national greenhouse gas emissions using multinational panel data from 98 countries between 1990 and 2016. The results indicate that left-wing governments tend to have lower carbon dioxide emissions compared to right-wing governments. The study also highlights the role of energy efficiency and education, showing that leftist parties promote energy efficiency and allocate more funds to secondary education, resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the moderating effects of economic performance, globalization, and political systems on the relationship between political ideology and emissions are explored.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of population characteristics on transportation CO2 emissions in China. The results show that population aging and population quality can restrain transportation CO2 emissions, but the negative effects of population aging are indirectly caused by economic growth and transportation demand. Furthermore, population living standards have an urban-rural difference, with urban living standards playing a predominant role in transportation CO2 emissions. Population growth has a weakly positive effect on transportation CO2 emissions. At the regional level, the effect of population aging on transportation CO2 emissions varies across regions.

Summary: The reliance on fossil-based fuels for powering vehicles in the South African transport sector leads to significant greenhouse gas emissions. Factors such as population growth, economic expansion, energy intensity, passenger vehicles, and freight transport contribute to the increase in emissions. Population and economic growth have the most significant impact on GHG emissions, while other factors are often dependent on these two main drivers.

Summary: This study examines the impacts of population, affluence, and technology on local NOx emissions in Germany. The results show that while private car ownership and single-family houses influence pollutant emissions, income per taxpayer has a negative impact on NOx emissions. The findings suggest the need for integrated mobility concepts and incentives for modern heating or self-sufficiency systems.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of real-time pricing and load automation on residential distribution systems. The study finds that implementing real-time pricing can result in an aggregate welfare gain of 39 USD per customer and year. However, it also notes that RTP and load automation may significantly increase peak system load. Introducing a market-based demand management system can further enhance welfare gains and reduce grid investment.

Summary: Household solid fuel use is detrimental to health and the environment. The Indian government's PMUY subsidy has successfully promoted the adoption of LPG by millions of households. However, there is limited understanding of the decision-making process to reduce solid fuel use after transitioning to cleaner fuels. This study found that factors such as household wealth, social status, education level, and the prevalence of LPG use in the village are positively associated with LPG consumption and the discontinuation of solid fuel use. On the other hand, factors such as distance to LPG refill delivery, household size, and the PMUY subsidy are negatively associated with the share of LPG use.

Summary: Russia's weaponization of gas supplies shook the energy security of Central and Eastern Europe in 2022. The region responded by increasing alternative energy supplies and developing new gas supply routes. Renewable energy, nuclear energy, and hydrogen play important roles in the long-term. Mitigating the impact of this shock requires the EU to prioritize the integrity of its energy market.

Summary: Economic costs are a major political obstacle to investing in climate change mitigation and adaptation measures. The method of financing plays a crucial role in determining public opposition to government green investments, with debt financing being less opposed than broad-based taxes. This study suggests that credit market tools, such as green bonds and debt for climate swaps, can be politically efficient in increasing support for green financing. Carbon taxes and wealth taxes are found to be the most preferred options.

Summary: This paper investigates China's energy trade stability using a survival analysis approach. It finds that the energy trade linkages between China and 153 other countries are complex and unstable, with short periods of trade with many countries. Geopolitically risky regions, such as the Middle East and Africa, have the lowest trade stability. Climate risks have significant effects on energy trade stability. The paper proposes several policy options to improve energy trade stability in China, with special attention to increasing global climate risks.

Summary: This study estimates the willingness to pay of Indian urban consumers for a continuous supply of electricity using contingent valuation method. The findings show that the amount consumers are willing to pay depends on the duration of power outages, with households preferring shorter outages. Income and environmental attitude also positively influence higher willingness to pay. These insights can inform policymakers in designing more reliable and customer-centric energy generation and distribution models.

Summary: The study finds that oil price shocks have a negative impact on Africa's energy transition, particularly in rural areas and net crude oil exporting countries. However, oil price shocks cannot explain the urban-rural differences in clean energy access. Therefore, increasing investment in clean energy and technologies in rural areas is necessary to enhance the resilience of the energy sector to oil price shocks.

Summary: The Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) is considered an innovative technology for building a green society. This study investigates the impact of REC purchases on stock return and volume in Taiwan between 2017 and 2021. The findings suggest that REC purchases have a positive effect on stock returns of manufacturing firms but not service firms. The frequency of REC purchases is also an important factor in the relationship between REC purchase and firm value. Additionally, the study reveals that public attention to environmental pollution plays a crucial role in positive stock returns and volume, while ESG disclosure is negatively associated with returns and volume.

Summary: This paper addresses the challenges of governing energy procurement from a mix of non-hydropower renewable energy sources supplied by independent producers. Building on political economy analysis and five case studies of independent producer projects from Ethiopia, it seeks to understand the root causes of the protracted delays and limited extent of procurement by independent producers. The key contestations lie in managing long term contracts, risk, uncertainty and in developing the institutional and human capacity to transition.
