(2022) used data on the change and intensity of CE for 15 countries worldwide from 2000 to 2014 and found that the ICT industry is an important industry contributing to carbon emissions, where the manufacturing of computer, electronic and optical products accounted for 82.83% of global ICT implied CE.
READ MORERenewable energy. Hamamatsu Photonics is working hard to reduce carbon emissions by advancing the implementation of renewables such as solar and wind power. At Toyooka Factory, we have installed solar-power generating equipment (250 kW) on the walls and roof of No. 10 Building in collaboration with our solar power business.
READ MOREBy employing China''s provincial panel data covering period 2001–2016, the present study empirically investigates the impact of ICT on CO2 emission intensity. Specifically, this paper utilizes Internet penetration and mobile phone penetration as proxies to measure ICT respectively and employs quantile regression method to estimate the
READ MORESince 1751 the world has emitted over 1.5 trillion tonnes of CO 2. 2 To reach our climate goal of limiting average temperature rise to 2 C, the world needs to urgently reduce emissions. One common argument is that those countries that have added most to the CO 2 in our atmosphere – contributing most to the problem today – should take on the greatest
READ MOREOverall, providing the location designation label increases annual carbon emissions, whereas providing both the location designation and carbon labeling decreases annual emissions. In short, the dynamics and interdependency of labeling strategies are important to consider in the context of eco-labeling.
READ MOREWith this design principle, the generator capacity can be scaled down by 40%, resulting in 80% fewer emissions from the site. Further reductions are possible by adding solar panels to the solution. Telecom antennas and tool charging stations can be supplied directly by solar energy. For higher energy demands like recharging EVs, generators can
READ MORECurrently, the average U.S. per capita carbon footprint is 18.3 tons. By comparison, China''s per capita carbon emissions are 8.2 tons. We all have a ways to go to get to 1.87 tons. Calculate your carbon footprint
READ MOREAcross 44 OECD and G20 countries accounting for over 80% of carbon emissions from energy use, taxes on polluting sources of energy are not set anywhere near the levels needed to reduce the risks and impacts of climate change and air pollution.
READ MOREThe world is facing the challenges of climate change and energy structure adjustments. The role of digital finance, a new branch of business that combines digital technology and traditional financial products, in reducing global carbon emissions needs to be studied. This paper uses panel data on 280 cities in China from 2011 to 2019 to

READ MORE2010-2019 is the warmest decade on record. On the current path of carbon dioxide emissions, the global temperature is expected to increase by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius by the end of century. To avoid the worst of warming (maximum 1.5°C rise), the world will need to decrease fossil fuel production by roughly 6 per cent per year between 2020 and 2030.

READ MOREApproximately one percentage-point of CO2 emission growth can be attributed to these sectors, based on output data and emission intensities estimated for solar PV, electric vehicles and batteries. This means that, without the clean technology manufacturing boom, China''s CO2 emissions would have grown by around 4.2%,
READ MORETo reduce emissions and achieve increasing prosperity at the same time, we have to decouple economic growth from CO 2 emissions. Several countries have achieved this in recent years. The chart here shows whether this country has achieved this by showing the change in GDP per capita, and annual per capita CO 2 emissions over time.
READ MOREMcqueen et al. (2020) stated that e-bikes reduced the share of car trips in all journeys by about 10 percentage points and lowered carbon emissions by 225 kg per year in North America.
