Smart city construction effect on energy saving and CO2 emissions

The escalating production of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from electricity power stations, primarily attributed to the burning of fossil fuels, stands as a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. This study delves into the intricate relationship between CO2 emissions, installed capacity of power stations, and the energy generated by these facilities. By developing a power generation model based on CO2 emissions, this research aims to project present and future emissions against the backdrop of increasing energy demands. Smart city construction emerges as a key mitigating factor in the reduction of CO2 emissions, showcasing a notable impact on the overall carbon footprint. The study explores the correlation between the construction of smart cities and the reduction of CO2 emissions, emphasizing the role of new infrastructure in fostering a low-carbon economy. The modelling outputs provide insights into the current state of CO2 emissions from power stations and offer estimations for future scenarios. Special emphasis is placed on thermal energy, evaluating its potential contribution to meeting CO2 reduction targets. The study also investigates the intricate web of factors influencing CO2 emissions, including gases from fossil fuel combustion and those generated during the cement manufacturing process.
