Effect of activation function in modeling the nexus between carbon tax, CO2 emissions, and gas-fired power plant parameters

Huge emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the utilization of fossil fuel for power generation has significantly contributed to global warming. In view of this, technological pathways have been initiated to mitigate the effect of CO2 emissions through capture, storage, and utilization. Besides, the...
