Iran as an energy-rich country faces many challenges in optimal utilization of its vast resources. High population and economic growth, generous subsidies program, and poor resource management have contributed to rapidly growing energy consumption and high energy intensity for the past decades....

Electricity consumption will comprise an increasing share of global energy demand during the next two decades. In recent years, the increasing prices of fossil fuels and concerns about the environmental consequences of greenhouse gas emissions have renewed the interest in the development of...

The European Green Deal describes the vision and strategic orientation of EU members of future public policies, which is designed to harmonize countries' efforts to align national economies with the principles of the circular economy. Among the directions prescribed by the European Green Deal,...

One of the main factors in achieving the ecological development goals is the change of unsustainable consumption patterns. Households play here a crucial role. The high level of urbanization and industrialization in the Silesian Voivodeship has caused serious environmental degradation, which in...

This paper investigates the question in what extent energy managers and energy users are informed on competitive energy supply, efficient energy uses, and on potentials to increase production and uses of renewable sources of energy. The important role in the dissemination of knowledge on more...

This paper aims to investigate the heterogeneous patterns of clean energy consumption at business cycle frequencies. Specifically, this paper provides a rigorous empirical analysis of this relationship in a comprehensive cross-country panel by decomposing the emissions and GDP series into their...

Using Toda-Yamamoto Granger causality approach, we study causality between energy consumption (EC) and economic growth (GDP) in Pakistan for the period 1972-2015. The study extended the basic production function having labor and capital as the mainstream variables by adding major energy sources...

This paper presents the overall status, characteristics, and policy framework of the housing sector and the initiatives towards energy efficiency in residential buildings in Belgium in order to assess the market demand for EuroPACE - an on-tax financing scheme for home retrofits. In fact, there...

Understanding the global energy network and the developments of energy efficiency is key to advance energy regulation and fight climate change. We develop a global panel dataset on energy usage inventories based on territorial production, final production and consumption over 1997-2014. We apply...

This study is trying to examine the different renewable energy sources and their impact on the economic growth at the state level under sustainable development goal seven (SDG-7). The SDGs goal (7th) defines the importance of clean, affordable and modern energy system in the World. Moreover,...
