摘要：

This paper investigates the influences of biomass energy, fossil fuel, and some controlled variables on CO2 emission in African countries over the 1980-2014 period. The study employs pool mean group (PMG), mean group (MG), and dynamic fixed effect (DFE) estimators. In addition, it employs weighted fully modified ordinary least squares and weighted dynamic ordinary least squares to validate the robustness of estimates. The results reveal that the relation of fossil fuel with CO2 is positively significant. Conversely, biomass energy exerts a significant negative impact on CO2. In addition, the dampening effect of biomass energy utilization on CO2 emission helps to validate the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis.
