The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on renewable energy. This work investigates the effect of pandemic on the renewable energy research from four aspects: the regional cooperation model of renewable energy research, the research hotspots of renewable energy during the pandemic, the...

This work is aimed to explore the indirect impact of the EU's COVID-19 economic recession on global renewable energy consumption from the perspective of spillover effect. To this end, a global vector autoregressive (GVAR)-energy model was constructed based on the data of 33 major economies....

A systematic study of the impact of renewable energy and non-renewable energy consumption on total factor carbon productivity could sever us to explore a lower-cost carbon-neutral energy transition path. To this end, total factor carbon productivity in 114 countries from 2000 to 2014 were...

China's renewable energy consumption was 6.37 EJ in 2018, making it the world's largest renewable energy consumer. Exploring the economic and social driving factors behind the dynamic evolution of renewable energy consumption in China not only serve China better development of renewable energy,...

This study explores whether increasing renewable energy consumption can alleviate environmental pressures (per capita carbon emissions and per capita ecological footprint) and the heterogeneity of the effects of increasing renewable energy consumption on the environmental pressures of countries...

Although there are many studies on the social welfare of renewable energy, the systematic study of the impact of renewable energy on life expectancy is relatively rare. Aiming at filling the research gap, we incorporate renewable energy consumption, economic growth, and life expectancy into a...
