Summary: This study examines the correlation between CO2 emissions and economic indicators in Pakistan from 1960 to 2018. The results indicate a significant association between increased CO2 emissions and electricity production from oil, gas, and other sources, while an increase in electricity production from coal leads to decreased CO2 emissions. GDP and population growth also contribute significantly to CO2 emissions, while industrial growth has a negligible impact. The study calls for energy-saving and CO2 emission reduction strategies, as well as nationwide tree planting to reduce CO2 concentration and environmental pollution.

Summary: This study focuses on the relationship between economic growth and energy sources in Pakistan from 1980 to 2016. The findings suggest that renewable energy has a long-term asymmetric impact on economic growth, while the long-term symmetric and asymmetric effects of GDP in both energy models are confirmed. This highlights the importance of renewable energy in boosting economic growth and the potential negative impact of reducing its use on Pakistan's economy.

Summary: This study examines the impact of energy consumption, economic development, urbanization, and energy consumption on carbon emissions using panel cointegration tests and pooled mean group (PMG-ARDL) approaches. The results reveal that urbanization has no significant effect on environmental quality, while energy usage significantly increases environmental harm. Further research indicates that environmental distortion is a long-term consequence of economic expansion. The responsibility of achieving a green and clean environment lies with government officials and politicians, who should prioritize appropriate energy management, urban planning, and pollution reduction without impeding economic growth.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of trade openness, human capital, renewable energy, and natural resource rent on carbon emissions within the framework of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. The results show that the EKC hypothesis is validated when considering the effects of these factors. The relationship between income level and carbon emissions follows an inverted U-shaped curve, and the EKC turning point occurs at a real GDP per capita of $19,203. Renewable energy consumption and human capital have different effects on carbon emissions before and after the EKC turning point, while trade openness only mitigates carbon emissions in countries with weak decoupling after the turning point.

Summary: This study reveals that carbon emission transmissions from China's electricity sector are mainly concentrated within intra-provincial trading, with 30 provinces classified into consumption centers and production centers, showing regional agglomeration and territorial propinquity. Additionally, an agglomeration trend of transmission nodes between electricity sector and intermediate sectors is observed as electricity sector < intermediate sectors < electricity sector < consumption.

Summary: The study found that China exports a significant amount of embodied energy and virtual water, mainly concentrated in Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces. From the energy perspective, the input-output structure effect plays a crucial role in increasing the energy export differences, while per capita final demand has a negative impact on reducing the export differences. From the virtual water perspective, the input-output structure effect is key in increasing the differences between China and the US, while per capita final demand plays a negative role in decreasing the virtual water differences.

Summary: The study examines the impact of GVC participation on CO2 emissions in the RCEP countries. It finds that forward participation in GVCs can reduce emissions by improving production technology, while backward participation increases emissions by increasing trade scale. Additionally, GVC participation has spatial spillover effects on emissions in home and neighbor countries. At the industry level, forward participation in medium-high tech manufacturing and productive services industries is more effective in reducing emissions, whereas backward participation in low-tech manufacturing industries may increase emissions.

Summary: This research examines the validation of the environment Kuznets curve (EKC) in both aggregate and sectoral levels for the Indian economy. The study covers the period 1970-2020. Various tests such as traditional unit root tests and Zivot-Andrews test were conducted to confirm the stationarity of variables and determine structural breaks. The autoregression distributive lag model (ARDL) bound test and vector error correction model (VECM) test were used to analyze cointegration and causal relations among variables. The results support the existence of EKC at both aggregate and sectoral levels, with energy consumption increasing CO2 emissions and economic globalization reducing CO2 emissions. The findings suggest that policymakers in India should consider economic globalization as a crucial factor in carbon emissions and design an enhanced economic policy framework for low carbon-driven, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth at both aggregate and disaggregated levels.

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.
