Environmental consequences of energy commodities and economic growth: Evidence from Nigeria

This study explored the relationship between energy commodities, economic growth, and Nigeria's carbon dioxide (CO?) emissions spanning from 1981 to 2021. Employing the Vector Error Correction Mechanism (VECM) process, the study revealed a negative correlation between fossil fuel consumption, economic growth, and carbon dioxide emissions. Long-term elasticities indicate that carbon dioxide emissions would rise by 24 and 211% if both fossil fuel consumption and economic growth decreased by 1%, contradicting the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory in Nigeria. Nevertheless, a positive correl…
