Abstract

This study examines the correlation between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the consumption of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels in Algeria and economic growth spanning 1972 to 2021. Employing the Johansen cointegration technique and Vector Error Correction Models (VECM) in an econometric analysis, we identified statistically significant long-run equilibrium relationships among emissions, fossil fuel energy consumption, population, and gross domestic product (GDP). The findings reveal that increasing reliance on fossil fuels exacerbates emissions, while economic development facilitates a transition from high-emission solid fuels. Emissions from liquid and gaseous fuels demonstrate a proportional rise with demographic and economic expansion.
