India's net-zero pledge requires a clean cooking transition. Despite LPG adoption, sustained use is limited due to costs and biomass stacking. Pairing induction cooking with iron cookware can reduce household air pollution and anaemia while…

Yucai Bai, Beibei Yao, Xiahong Shi +5

This study develops nonlinear prediction models integrating economic and demographic drivers to dynamically assess CO2 and air pollutant emissions from on-road mobile sources in Guangxi, China. Combining environmental tax rates and carbon t…

Yuhan Yang

This paper proposes a legal framework for new energy storage in China's power industry under the 'dual carbon' goals. It constructs an indicator system covering technical standards, market mechanisms, regulatory frameworks, and policy suppo…
