The relationship that exists among economic growth, energy consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions:
The cost of energy consumption seems to be greater than the benefits it provides in the sense that while the use of energy brings about an increase in GDP, it also leads to an increase in the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. This calls for concern due to the harmful effects of these emissions on climate change and even on the health of the people. Hence, it is highly necessary to begin a transition to a clean energy system devoid of carbon dioxide emissions through carbon capture utilization, and storage (CCUS), as well as policies that will reduce the rate of carbon dioxide emissions during both production and consumption activities.
