Pakistan had been mired in a crippling energy crisis for several years but is experiencing a rapid turnaround in the energy sector with several new projects coming online. However, the interventions undertaken by the government rely heavily on imported fuel such as oil, coal, and LNG. An...

This paper provides an overview of Bangladesh's green financing status, with a particular focus on the renewable energy (RE) sector. Despite having great potential of renewable energy sources, the sector currently consists of a meager 1% share of the energy portfolio. The poor performance of the...

Goal 7 of the Sustainable Development Goals seeks to ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services and increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix by 2030. This target provides an opportunity as well as a challenge to African...

The impetus of this research study is to analyse the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on sustainable development (SD) in the offshore wind farms as a form of renewable energy power generation in the UK; it will be particularly focused on the London Array Project in the outer Thames...

We fit CES and VES production functions to data from a numerical bottom-up optimization model of electricity supply with clean and dirty inputs. This approach allows for studying high shares of clean energy not observable today and for isolating mechanisms that impact the elasticity of...

As the growth of energy demand outstrips that of energy supply in Southeast Asia, it becomes imperative for ASEAN member states to seek energy efficiency improvements for sustained energy security. While green buildings have an overall low penetration rate in ASEAN, when compared to the rest of...

A major concern regarding innovation in clean technologies in the EU is that the fragmentation of its innovation system may hinder knowledge flows and, consequently, spillovers across member countries. A low intensity of knowledge flows across EU states can negatively impact their technological...

This brief paper accompanies the Green Energy and Jobs tool, which is a simple excel-based tool to estimate the job-creation potential of greening the electricity sector. Specifically, it calculates the net job gains or losses from increasing the level of energy efficiency, and from increasing...

Using a large sample of 44 countries for 2007‒2020, we provide evidence that green finance (green bonds) significantly fosters renewable energy production. Our results are robust to addressing cross-sectional dependence concerns, allowing structural breaks, and using several alternative...

Policy changes that encourage non-fossil fuel energy means increased reliance on batteries and other technologies that must develop rapidly. This article focuses on batteries, noting that key inputs come from corrupt countries, so little of the benefits of exports flow to citizens, and many key...
