Charring Rate

During the last years the Spanish energy policy has been heavily biased towards replacing traditional energy sources, highly polluting, other renewable, without charring rate. The large amount of public resources being allocated to finance the production of these energy contrasts with the growing general shortage of resources and reduced public input to R&D in the spanish energy sector. Using, for empirical analysis, the model of Environmental Kuznets Curve, we obtained evidence for existence of an inverse relationship between public spending policies R&D energy and greenhouse gas emissions.

Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis

The paper investigates the relationships between economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. GDP growth represents the main economic dimension, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and renewable energy consumption the environmental dimension, and corruption the social dimension of sustainable development. The investigation of these relationships is based on the concept of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis about the non-linear relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution. The authors used the panel data of EU countries and Ukraine for 2000–2016 years from the Eurostat database. The obtained results confirmed the Environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis for the EU and Ukraine. All the indicators were statistically significant at 1% and 5% levels. The findings proved that increasing renewable energy (RE) by 1% led to a decline of GHG in the interval (0.166103, 0.220551), and аn increase of the Control of Corruption Index by 1% provoked a decline of GHG by 0.88%. The conducted study enabled the authors to conclude that Ukraine needs to increase the GDP level per capita given the economy diversification and via the introduction of more effective and “clean” production technologies.
