چکیده
Efficient use of biomass energy is integral to achieving many the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Their contributions, trade-off patterns, and implementation vary geographically, requiring in-depth analysis sustainably manage its impact. Here, we analyzed contribution intensity efficiency on sustainable development across top five energy-consuming countries—Brazil, China, Germany, India, US. We compared impact consumption, economic development, urbanization, trade openness carbon dioxide emissions ecological footprint. Using annual frequency data from 1970 2016, utilized continuously-updated fully-modified, bias-corrected panel estimation techniques that control for cross-section dependence among sampled countries. Our empirical shows income level escalates footprint by 0.05–0.21%. Similarly, urban sprawl increases long-term 0.07–0.17%. Biomass consumption 0.18–0.90% but declines 0.02–0.09%. However, reduces both CO2 0.34–0.55%. results reveal stimulates in early stages growth, technologically oriented industrial-based economy, yet, outgrows service-inspired economy. This extraction developed countries can surpass regenerative capability, necessitating domestic material management.

متن کاملStudy on an Existing PV/Wind Hybrid System Using Biomass Gasifier for Energy Generation
Untapped pine needles with high potential for energy generation in the hilly area are not only a waste of resource but also increase the chance of environmental hazards as forest fires and GHG emission. This study is conducted to propose a new hybrid system (PV/Wind/Biomass) using abundant pine needle resource as a replacement of existing roof-mounted PV/wind hybrid system and analyse the feasi...
