Energy Consumption and CO2 Emissions on a global level
Analysis of the relation between economic development, energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions is considered to be important for environmental planning on a national and international level. Several studies have focused on this issue and the results lead to a positive relation between these variables. For the purpose of this study, a database was created including variables such as gross domestic product (GDP), population, total primary energy supply and carbon dioxide emissions per energy sector. Data derives for the International Energy Agency including over 140 countries. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that there is a statistical correlation between economic growth and a) energy consumption, b) carbon emissions from each energy sector. Countries classification according to GDP per capita is performed and then the One-way ANOVA command is used to test the hypotheses. The results verify existence of relation between GDP and energy consumption and also between GDP and carbon emissions from the electricity sector and the transportation sector. These results are compatible with other studies reviewed in this article.
Nexus between Energy Consumptions and CO2 Emissions in Selected Industrialized Countries
International Journal of Entrepreneurial Research
This study examines the nexus between energy consumptions and CO2 emissions in selected industrialized countries and selects the industrialized countries where three are industrialized and two are a newly industrial growing country out of five. The panel section implies the period from 1980 to 2014 for selected countries. The WDI is the main data source for the selected variables. This study conducts the FMOLS method, which is suggested by unit root and the Johansen co integrations test. The Granger causality also uses to estimate the causality in current variables. The Johansen Fisher co-integration test indicates the long-run association’s among the variable. The FMOLS technique estimates the marginal effect that industrialization and energy outlay is an authentic and significant influence on CO2 emission. Panel Ganger causality also shows a reliable result to estimate the causal relation.

comparative analysis was based on secondary data from 1980-2012 to understand the past energy issues and CO2 emissions trends along with its future scenarios. It has revealed that China’s total primary energy production will be 15-times more with significant 2985 Metric Tons of Coal Equivalent (Mtce) deficiency in 2025 in contrast to global 26745.20 Mtce of production and 26412.54 Mtce of consumption respectively. Moreover, it also showed that China’s CO2 emissions will climb to 30888.29 MT at 2-times growth rate where global emissions would be 50020.14 MTT with 2.5 times in 2025. This analysis will be helpful in energy sector for planning, allocation, efficient utilization, emission reduction to achieve present and future green friendly environment.
WORLD PRIMARY ENERGY PRODUCTION & CONSUMPTION 1900-2010: WHAT CAN BE LEARNED FROM PAST TRENDS
In this work an analysis of the world energy consumption and production was made covering the period 1900-2010 including several regions and categories of energy products. Shifts in the predominance of energy products were identified as well as the evolutions of consumption during the period, related with historical events and economic developments. Trends found were used to make a characterization of past developments and also preliminary predictions for energy consumptions for each region assuming that the behavioural patterns that have been identified will remain for the future. World primary energy consumption has increased 14,1 times during the period, from 7.000 to 22.400 kWh/Capita with a trend to reach 40.000 kWh/Capita in the future. This growth has been very steep since 1950, which was supported by a strong growth in average GDP (per capita) and availability of cheap abundant fossil energy. In 2010, renewables (electricity, gaseous and liquid fuels) provided only 3,2% of primary energy consumption while fossil fuels remained the dominant energy sources supplying almost 82% of world energy consumption, complemented by nuclear with a share of 6,4% (including waste heat). The shift in the energetic mix in the last 100 years has been characterized by a decrease in solid biomass fuels from 50% of primary energy consumption by 1900 to 8,4% nowadays, replaced by coal, natural gas and oil, and an increase in the consumption toward gaseous and liquid fuels that accelerated after 1950. The identified trends for energy consumption can be used to forecast future levels of world energy demand, allowing the planning for energy supply and the minimization of the economic, social, environmental and geopolitical impacts of energy needs for several decades ahead.

This paper shows how conventional definitions of efficiency and energy intensity, based on the technological and economic framework of developed countries, can mask the real situation in developing countries. New definitions are proposed, such as a generalization of Laspeyre's index. A broad comparison is presented of COe emissions from the energy system of Brazil with those of USA and other OECD countries using a simple factorization model. The final comments point out the disturbing consequence of deregulation and free market international forces, which are pushing Brazil towards an increasing use of fossil fuels, which are COe emitters, in place of endogenous renewable energy, such as hydro and biomass, which are not.

When regulating GHG emissions at the country or product level, it is critical to determine the GHG emissions from electricity consumption. In this study, we calculated production-based and consumptionbased CO 2 emission intensities of electricity for the OECD (the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries during 1990e2008. We examined the impact of annual development, allocation procedure in combined heat and power production, and electricity trade on CO 2 emissions. The studied factors significantly, yet highly variably, influenced the results for many countries. The consumption-based CO 2 emission intensity of electricity differed significantly from the production-based intensity for some European OECD countries such as Switzerland, Norway, Slovakia, and Austria. As the use of the production-based method in assessing, verifying, and monitoring the GHG performance of specific products can be highly misleading, the use of consumption-based methods are preferable. The absolute value of CO 2 emissions embodied in electricity net imports accounted for more than 5% of the overall national CO 2 emissions in at least some of the years studied for 13 European countries. The electricity trade and the related GHG emission leakage may increase in the future if effective emission reduction and regulation measures are not more widely implemented.
The Role of CO 2 Emission in Energy Demand and Supply
Problem statement: During the last few years in Malaysia, the amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO 2) released into the atmosphere has been rising extensively. The main source of CO 2 is power source of automobile and industry that are contributing the main role for these CO 2 emissions. But these sectors are also very important for economic growth and developments. The aim of this study is to examine the current status and identify the future trend of energy demand and supply and its impacts on CO 2 emissions in Malaysia. Approach: The data for analysis was obtained from the secondary sources. Results: The study discovered that the highest proportion of CO 2 emissions comes from energy sector. The future trend of energy demand and supply was estimated by the forecasting polynomial curve fitting method. The increase rate of energy supply and demand can rich up to 170 and 160% respectively during the year 2020 if the current situation last long. The study showed a linear trend of increasing intensity of energy and CO 2 emission with respect to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by the year 2020. Conclusion: A significant share of CO 2 emissions can be avoided through improved energy efficiency while providing the same or higher level of energy services. In this regard, greater use of energy efficient, renewable energy and green technologies or options and behavioural changes can substantially reduce CO 2 emissions from the energy sector.

Considering the significant effects of carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions on the environment, analysis of historical emission levels and prediction of future levels are of huge importance in managing climate change. This study focuses on predicting CO2 emissions in the United States (US), European Union (EU), and China based on the data collected from the World Bank's database. The time series were modelled using the ARIMA methodology, while the analysis was conducted in R. The findings indicate that by 2030, the EU is projected to experience a decline of 23.70% in emissions compared to 2019 levels, while the United States is expected to witness a decrease of 21.95%. However, China's projections are discouraging, with an anticipated increase of 26.83% in emissions. These projections serve as valuable tools to assess the achievement of imposed CO2 emission targets in specific economies, informing the necessary adjustments to existing policies or the implementation of new ones. This study underscores the significance of analysing historical data and forecasting future CO2 emissions to manage climate change and develop energy-related policies effectively.
