Hi Seeram, this is an interesting paper. You say in the abstract "Benefits of 4IR include lower greenhouse gas emissions". Do you have in mind references (i.e. peer-reviewed articles) that demonstrate this statement quantitatively? Thanks.

Hi Seeram, thank you for the reference. However, I think this study is very specific (i.e. the effect of technology intensity in manufacturing on CO2 emissions in developing countries), while your paper above is relatively general and mentions a potential of reducing greenhouse gas emissions using 4IR. Are you aware of the Lean ICT report by the Shift Project (https://theshiftproject.org/en/article/lean-ict-our-new-report/), which does not seem to end up with the same conclusion? In any case, I guess the share of technologies in greenhouse gas emissions is under-studied and would deserve higher attention. What do you think? Thanks, David
