The study investigated the relationship between carbon dioxide, electricity production, and consumption in Ghana using the autoregressive distributed lag model by employing a time-series data spanning from 1971 to 2012. Evidence from the long-run elasticities shows that a 1% increase in the total energy production from combustible renewables and waste will increase carbon dioxide emissions by 307.9 kt in the long run. In contrast, a 1% increase in the total energy production with electricity production from hydroelectric sources will decrease carbon dioxide emissions by 267.3 kt in the long run. There was evidence of a bidirectional causality from electricity production from hydroelectric sources to carbon dioxide emissions and a unidirectional causality from carbon dioxide emissions to the total energy production with combustible renewables and waste; carbon dioxide emissions to electricity production from oil, gas, and coal sources; electric power consumption to the total energy production with combustible renewables; and waste and electricity production from hydroelectric sources to electricity production from oil, gas, and coal sources. Ghana's electricity production and consumption from non-renewable sources of energy escalates carbon dioxide emissions while renewable sources help mitigate climate change and its impact.

The causal effect of carbon dioxide emissions, electricity consumption, economic growth, and industrialization in Sierra Leone
Asumadu-Sarkodie, Samuel; Owusu, Phebe Asantewaa (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01)
The study investigated the causal effect of carbon dioxide emissions, electricity consumption, economic growth, and industrialization in Sierra Leone from 1980-2011 by employing the linear regression and the vector error correction models. Evidence from both models show a long-run equilibrium relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, electricity consumption, economic growth, and industrialization in Sierra Leone. Evidence from the variance decomposition shows that 7% of future shock in carbon dioxide e...
A multivariate analysis of carbon dioxide emissions, electricity consumption, economic growth, financial development, industrialization, and urbanization in Senegal
Asumadu-Sarkodie, Samuel; Owusu, Phebe Asantewaa (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01)
In this study, a multivariate analysis of carbon dioxide emissions, electricity consumption, economic growth, financial development, industrialization, and urbanization was performed in Senegal using the nonlinear iterative partial least squares (NIPALS) regression during the period 1980-2011. There was evidence of a linear relationship between the variables using the linear regression analysis. However, the explanatory variables exhibited a strong collinearity, which led to using the NIPALS regression anal...
Forecasting Nigeria's energy use by 2030, an econometric approach
Asumadu-Sarkodie, Samuel; Owusu, Phebe Asantewaa (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01)
The study examines the causal nexus between energy use, environmental pollution, GDP per capita, and urbanization in order to forecast Nigeria's energy use by 2030. Employing a time-series data spanning from 1971 to 2012, a linear regression analysis is used to examine the causal relationship among the study variables and subsequently forecasted Nigeria's energy use with the ARIMA and ETS models. Evidence from the study shows that a 1% increase in energy use increases carbon dioxide emissions by 3%, while a...
The potential and economic viability of solar photovoltaic power in Ghana
Asumadu-Sarkodie, Samuel; Owusu, Phebe Asantewaa (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01)
In this study, the potentiality and economic viability of solar photovoltaic (PV) in Ghana was assessed using RETScreen software. 5 MW of grid-connected solar PV power system using SunPower SPR-320E-WHT-D PV module can be harnessed from Navrongo, Bawku, Wa, Tema, Bolgatanga, Axim, Salaga, Kintampo, Kete Krachi, Tamale, Hohoe, Koforidua, Ejura, Takoradi, Bole, Sunyani, Bibiani, Cape coast, Prestea, and Akuse, which requires US$17,752,179 of investment capital and 25,313 m(2) of land for PV installation. The ...
Comparison of single particle combustion behaviours of raw and torrefied biomass with Turkish lignites
Magalhaes, Duarte; Panahi, Aidin; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Levendis, Yiannis A. (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01)
This study investigated the combustion behaviour of single pulverized biomass and lignite coal particles under high temperature-high heating rate conditions. Selected fuels included three important agricultural residues in Turkey (olive residue, almond shell, and hazelnut shell), and two lignite coals from the regions of Tuncbilek and Soma in Turkey. Biomass fuels were either raw or torrefied at 275 degrees C for 30 min in nitrogen. The biomass fuels were sieved to a size cut of 212-300 mu m, and the coals ...
