Abstract: Our research investigates the link between environmental tax policies (ETA), environmental technology implementations (ETE), renewable energy applications (RE) and Brazil's consumption-based carbon dioxide emissions (CCO2) from 1994 to 2020 with economic growth measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP). We validated DOLS results through FMOLS and CCR analysis alongside the DOLS technique. Data reveals environmental technologies and renewable energy help cut carbon dioxide output yet increased GDP raises emission levels. Data analysis using different statistical approaches demonstrates that ETA and RE help decrease Brazil's carbon emission levels. The DOLS analysis reveals ETE negatively affects CCO2 but OLS, FMOLS and CCR show ETE has no effect on CCO2 levels. The effectiveness of policies focused on ETA and RE demonstrates their ability to control CCO2 emissions for environmental sustainability. Governments that embrace renewable energy and electric transport evolution will help build a sustainable environment.
