Abstract:
... Corporate eco-efficiency should be managed to take environmental responsibility for climate change mitigation. However, firms have difficulty determining what eco-efficiency metric is appropriate, what key performance indicators are to be managed, and what characteristics of environmental reporting are effective for environmental management. Thus, this study develops and measures a corporate CO2 a ...

Abstract:
... The combined heat and power (CHP) generation, which can produce both heat and electricity at the same time, is so efficient that it can reduce energy use and even mitigate CO2 and air pollutants emissions. For this reason, the share of CHP generation worldwide is increasing and the optimal share of CHP generation in electric power generation is a serious concern in South Korea. This article attemp ...

Abstract:
... The price of electricity for European end users typically fell until development of wind and solar energy began, but has increased since then. We estimate the savings in CO2 emissions due to solar and wind energy and calculate what end users pay per tonne CO2, assuming that price increases since the introduction of solar and wind power are due to these types of energy. These payments are in most c ...

Abstract:
... Scattered coal consumption in the building sector contributes approximately 40% of China's primary fine particulate matter emissions and 10% of fossil fuel CO2 emissions, posing serious threats to climate change mitigation and air quality. Therefore, a shift from coal to natural gas (NG) and electricity is of great significance for the synergistic reduction of air pollutants and carbon emissions. ...
