This study investigates the role of green energy, financial development, and environmental regulations in addressing pollution havens within high-income emerging economies. While these nations benefit from rapid industrialization, they simultaneously face significant environmental challenges due to lax environmental standards and a tendency to attract pollution-intensive industries. This paper explores whether green energy adoption, financial sector advancements, and stringent environmental policies can mitigate such adverse impacts. Using data spanning from 1995 to 2023 and employing the Cross-Sectionally Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) model, we analyze the experiences of BRICS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The findings reveal that green energy adoption consistently correlates with a reduction in CO2 emissions across these nations, with China showing the most substantial improvement. Financial development positively contributes to environmental outcomes, particularly in South Africa, where access to green finance has spurred investments in sustainable projects. Moreover, environmental regulations have the most profound impact in Russia, where stringent policies have led to a measurable decline in pollution. Countries with higher levels of financial development and regulatory rigor also show stronger resilience against the inflow of pollution-intensive industries. The study highlights the critical role of a balanced approach that integrates economic growth with sustainability, suggesting that high-income emerging economies can leverage green energy and financial development, supported by robust policies, to transition away from pollution havens and toward a sustainable growth trajectory. A policy implication from these findings is that governments should prioritize investments in renewable energy and strengthen regulatory frameworks to attract cleaner industries.

Iran's Petroleum Contract “IPC” as a risk service contract, contains some important improvements and features in order to attract foreign investments and know-how to the long-standing oil industry of Iran. However, the views of international oil companies (“IOC”) towards contractual regimes in the oil sector show that they are often not eager to enter into the risk service-prone contracts and therefore, IPC is another alternative and a new opportunity for IOCs to invest in the oil industry in Iran, as compared with Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) and modern concessions.

According to the current laws and regulations, adopting PSA in Iran's oil industry is not strictly forbidden from legal point of view. Therefore, using a well-designed PSA, at least for some high risk and cost regions, may ensure the balance of interests between National Iranian Oil Company (“NIOC”) and foreign oil companies, without disrupting the existing IPC's framework. Thus, through JCPOA and removal of the sanctions, the Iranian authorities in the oil industry should be prepared to take more flexible and favorable attitude towards the petroleum contracts in Iran for the benefit of the country in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

This study optimizes a local renewable electricity supply system to integrate demand response tactics for power-intensive industry activities. We use a multi-phase optimization framework to design demand response scheduling for continuous production and identify the best configuration for a local energy generating and storage system. Our main goals are to reduce overall expenses and lessen the impact of global warming. Important elements, including electric batteries, local solar and wind power generation, and intraday and day-ahead electricity trading, are all thoroughly examined in the study. The results show that, although at a significant increase in cost, adding a battery system has the potential to lower emissions and enable large-scale market electricity trading. To attain ecological and economic sustainability within the environment, this research emphasizes optimizing industrial processes. It also highlights the value of demand response methods and the integration of renewable energy in reducing the effects of climate change. The results show that the systems of demand response, integrating the usage of some renewable energy types, can significantly contribute to improved ecological and economic performance in manufacturing plants. Such research also points to the need to guard policy environments that facilitate the deployment of RE and efficient AES infrastructures to support organizations’ sustainable industrial transformation.

This research aims to determine, within this context, the influence of environmental governance, economic complexity, and geopolitical risks on energy transition in 20 OECD countries between 1990 and 2021. The current study is anchored on the Paris Agreement and COP27, which promotes clean energy (SDG 7) and environmental conservation (SDG 13). In this analysis, the new Mixed Multi-Quantile Regression (MMQR) model is used to mitigate slope heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence because it accommodates heterogeneity in distinct phases of the energy transition. In addition, an asymmetric approach is employed to investigate the moderating role of geopolitical risk on the link between environmental governance, economic complexity, and energy transition. The main results of this research show that environmental governance significantly and positively affects energy transition at all quantiles, while economic complexity has a positive impact at some quantiles. However, their impacts tend to differ during the energy transition process. On the one hand, the interface between environmental governance and geopolitics presents potential support for the transition process. It creates difficulties for it, on the other hand. (3) Economic development positively correlates with energy transition because nations from the developed economy possess the ability and the resources to impact energy transition effectively. Nevertheless, when considering geopolitical risks, economic complexity turns out to be negative and contributes to the problem of energy transition. This work establishes that economic diversification and good ecological policies enable energy transition. The results are also validated by a panel Granger causality test that shows that environmental governance and economic complexity can improve the environment for accepting clean energy and its financial health. The research offers a policy guide for policymakers, managers, and investors operating in the global climate, geopolitical risk, conflicts, and renewable energy.

We investigate linkages between three different markets: renewable energy (represented by a range of renewable energy ETFs); traditional energy (represented by crude oil ETF); and common stocks (represented by the S&P 500 Index ETF). We use daily data from 2008 to 2021. The econometric framework adopted is the VARMA-DCC-GARCH-in-mean model. We find that this framework is ideal because it allows us to identify the impact of uncertainty in one market on returns in another market, and also volatility spillovers, that is, the phenomenon of high uncertainty in one market spreading to other markets. Our key findings are as follows. Stock-market uncertainty influences traditional energy (negatively) and renewable energy (positively) at the mean level. Stock market volatility has a positive spillover effect on both conventional and renewable energies in the short-run, but these spillover effects are negative in the long-run. Our estimates of the time-paths of dynamic conditional correlations provide evidence that the renewable market is more heavily “financialized” than the traditional energy market, and moreover that the strong financialization of renewables is robust to financial crises.

Achieving a decarbonized society requires balancing two critical and seemingly conflicting objectives: reducing energy consumption and ensuring energy demand flexibility to adapt to the variability of renewable energy production. This study introduces "energy demand science" as a multidisciplinary field to address these challenges, focusing on the residential sector, which significantly impacts energy use due to occupant behavior and lifestyle. Using a comprehensive review of literature and advanced modeling techniques, this research explores mechanisms driving energy demand. Key results show that energy demand can be reduced by up to 40 % by 2050 through lifestyle adjustments, urbanization, and innovative technologies, aligning with global warming targets below 1.5 °C. Advanced modeling techniques and high-resolution data analyses were employed to explore mechanisms driving energy demand, supported by historical data from 1970 to present, incorporating advancements in IoT and smart metering technologies. The results highlight the importance of integrating technological, human, natural, and socio-economic factors to achieve a sustainable reduction in energy use while maintaining flexibility. Policy implications emphasize the need for holistic, interdisciplinary strategies to enable efficient demand-side management, enhance renewable energy integration, and align energy consumption with decarbonization goals.

This study investigates the drivers of energy transition among Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries, focusing on the roles of education, globalization, trade openness, and financial development. With the shift toward sustainable energy as a global priority, understanding these influences within BRI nations is crucial to formulating effective policies for renewable energy adoption. Using panel data from 46 BRI countries spanning 2000–2021, we employ advanced econometric techniques, including the Continuously Updated Fully Modified (CUP-FM) and Continuously Updated Bias-Corrected (CUP-BC) models, to assess both linear and nonlinear effects. Results show that education significantly promotes renewable energy by fostering skills and environmental awareness. Globalization and trade openness also support energy transition by facilitating the exchange of green technologies and sustainable practices, while financial development enables investment in renewable infrastructure. This research fills a notable gap in energy transition literature, providing evidence from diverse economic contexts and offering actionable insights for policymakers. We recommend prioritizing investment in education to enhance awareness, fostering international cooperation to facilitate technology transfer, and developing robust financial systems to support renewable energy projects. These strategies are essential for advancing the energy transition and achieving climate goals within BRI nations.
