Mohamed Beidari, Bernard Lamien & Souleymane Zio · Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology · 2026
This study assessed whether methane emissions decoupled from economic growth in Burkina Faso between 1980 and 2018 and identified the main drivers of the observed trend. A quantitative national time-series design was used, combining Tapio decoupling elasticity, additive Log-Mean...
