A revolution in the energy sector is crucial for achieving environmental sustainability since almost three-fourth of global carbon dioxide emissions is generated from the energy sector. It is believed that combustion of unclean energy resources is the major contributor to the multifaceted environmental adversities experienced across the globe. Thus, the development of clean energy technologies, to elevate their shares in the global energy mix, is deemed necessary to reinstate environmental well-being worldwide. Against this background, this study aims to explore the symmetric and asymmetric impacts of public research and development investments for nuclear and renewable energy development and economic growth on carbon dioxide emissions in the context of Japan over the 1974–2017 period. As opposed to the conventional approaches, this study contributes to the literature by specifically scrutinizing the environmental effects associated with public investments in clean energy development projects; whereas the majority of the preceding studies have either considered the environmental impacts associated with the overall research and development investments in the energy sector or that made by firms in general. However, evaluating the effects of such investments for clean energy development is more appropriate for policy-making purposes. The results from both the symmetric and asymmetric analyses reveal that higher public investments in clean energy research and development-oriented projects help to curb carbon dioxide emissions in Japan. Besides, such investments for nuclear energy development are evidenced to be relatively more effective in facilitating the nation's carbon emission-abating agenda. In contrast, economic growth in Japan is evidenced to trigger higher carbon dioxide emissions. In line with these key findings, this study offers several policy-level suggestions in respect of undergoing clean energy transition and achieving environmental sustainability in Japan.

With the proposal of a sustainable development strategy, the development of new energy is accelerating day by day. The impact of new energy on economic growth has become increasingly apparent. Therefore, this article will analyse the characteristics and development status of new energy. This article focuses on the analysis of the development of new energy in China, including the current data on wind energy and biomass energy in China, so as to put forward the influence factors of the development of new energy on economic construction. At the same time, it also proposed a new energy development strategy centred on economic growth. The purpose of this article is to guide the coordinated development of new energy development and economic growth.

In view of the current domestic new economic form, under the trend of sustainable development, new energy industry has become a rising star. The development of new energy can improve the environment destroyed by the development of fossil energy to a certain extent. It is the primary task of environmental protection and energy development to study the specific relationship between China’s current carbon emissions, economic growth and the development of new energy industry. Based on STR model, we can empirically study the impact of carbon emissions on the development of new energy industry, analyze the nonlinear relationship, and propose relevant strategies to promote the development of new energy industry and pay attention to the coordinated development of energy consumption and environmental protection.

Abstract This study empirically analyzes the prospects of the energy industry with the limited water resource in Xinjiang by extending an energy economic model. First, the past trends of water use in Xinjiang are analyzed. Energy utilization and industrial added value by sector are also investigated. Then, several important parameters such as economic growth rate, water saving rate, and energy saving rate are set exogenously. Especially, coal exploitation and utilization are selected as a typical case for studying energy development plan and technology choice. By keeping within the water requirement ‘red line’ and water security strategy, the acceptable speed and the future scale of the energy industry in Xinjiang are selected among several scenarios. Moreover, the interactions of economic growth, energy development, energy consumption, water requirement, and carbon dioxide emissions in Xinjiang are also analyzed. Finally, the technology choice of coal exploitation and utilization in Xinjiang with restriction of limited water resource is also suggested.
