This study investigates the impact of administrative barriers on the financing of energy renovation of family homes in the Republic of Croatia. The research aims to prove a causal relationship between the limitations of the support system and citizen satisfaction with the existing support system for energy renovation of family homes, which directly affects an individual's motivation to apply for a competition. A survey was conducted on 308 respondents, and mathematical methods were used to determine the impact. The research results show that different factors have varying degrees of influence on the perception of family homeowners and their decision to apply for a project, and that this perception depends on age, employment status, and monthly income of the individual.

The aim of the study is to analyze the effects of changes in oil prices, which have an important place among energy resources, on the stock market indices of G7 countries. Since they can be considered as a barometer of the macroeconomic indicators of the G7 countries, the stock market indices of these countries were included in this study and their impact on the fluctuations in oil prices was examined. G7 countries produce 85% of the world's production and constitute 66% of the world's population. 75% of international trade is carried out by the member countries of this group. The share of these countries in international investment is 80%. In this study, the impact of oil price changes on G7 country stock market indices was investigated with monthly frequency data between January 2010 and December 2023. This effect was tried to be found by applying Granger causality test and cointegration test. According to the findings obtained in this study, it was understood that there was no cointegration and the variables did not balance in the long run. On the other hand, according to the Granger causality test, it was determined that the crude oil price was the cause of the stock markets of G7 countries with a significance of 10%.

Solar energy is an environmentally friendly and reliable source of electricity and contributes immensely towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7. The quantity of solar radiation reaching the earth's surface offers enough prospects for solar and green energy investments. This study aims to develop an integrated model to explain the effects of sustainability-enabled initiatives on sustainable investment adoption and solar energy investment and to ascertain whether the relationship between solar energy investment and environmental uncertainty is parabolic (quadratic) or linear. Cross-sectional survey data from private companies in Ghana has been used. SMART-PLS version 3.3.9 has been used to analyse and confirm our hypotheses. The results showed that sustainability initiatives (e.g., supply chain integration, institutionalization, supply chain resilience, innovativeness, climate literacy, and justice) were found to be linear. Moreover, sustainable investment adoption moderates the relationships between various factors identified and solar energy investment. Again, environmental uncertainty confirmed a quadratic relationship with solar energy investment. By implications, this paper is the first of its kind to uniquely apply quadratic analysis in the context of renewable energy investment and sustainable energy in Ghana. The newly developed integrated model could be used to explain the drivers of sustainable investment adoption and solar energy investment in Ghana and beyond. Besides, the results will stimulate and re-enforce Ghana’s renewable energy policies (Act 832 and Act 1045) towards the realisation of SDGs 7 and 13.

Within food supply chains, attention is paid to the significant energy consumption at the farm gate level. In agricultural production, the energy intensity of animal production is much higher than that of plant production, but mainly if physical units are considered. This study examines the energy intensity of food production in Poland from 2010 to 2019, contrasting animal and plant production in both physical and monetary units. Utilizing the EXIOBASE database, it compares energy consumption across wheat, sugar beets, pig, and poultry farming sectors, addressing the gap in research on energy intensity within these individual sectors. The research reveals that, contrary to physical unit measurements, the energy intensity in monetary terms is lower for animal production than for plant production. Specifically, plant production showed higher energy intensity, averaging 28.02 MJ/€1 GDP for wheat and 30.15 MJ/€1 GDP for sugar beets. In contrast, animal production had higher energy intensity when measured by physical units, with pigs and poultry averaging 15.72 MJ/kg and 15.36 MJ/kg, respectively. These disparities arise primarily from the greater profitability of animal production, impacting the results per monetary unit. The findings underscore the importance of including economic aspects in energy intensity measurements, influencing agricultural producers' decisions.

This study illustrates the importance of sustainable energy management in the context of oil field management in Indonesia. Using the Rappetro approach, this research evaluates the sustainability of oil field management across various dimensions, including ecological, economic, socio-cultural, technological, and legal-institutional aspects. Findings indicate that the sustainability index for all dimensions—ecology (64.07%), economy (57.72%), socio-cultural (52.91%), technology (64.44%), and legal-institutional (61.7%)—is robust. This signifies that oil exploration and exploitation operations in the area have effectively integrated conservation principles. Energy management and balanced integration of ecological, economic, and technological aspects in oil field management play a key role in ensuring long-term sustainability. Theoretically, this research provides valuable insights for the energy sector by highlighting the sustainability of oil field management. Its implications are relevant in shaping sustainable energy practices, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach in every stage of oil resource exploration and exploitation. Thus, this study makes a significant contribution to guiding policies and practices that support sustainable energy development in the future.

Hydrogen plays a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enabling decarbonization of the energy, transport and industrial sectors. Its importance in the energy balance will increase for several reasons. Firstly, in the modern world there is a transition to carbon-free energy, which stimulates the use of hydrogen. Secondly, a balanced system based on renewable energy sources is important to ensure stability and reliability of energy supply. The purpose of the study is to study the prospects for hydrogen production for the transition to sustainable development of the Azerbaijani economy. During the study, research methods such as graphical analysis, comparison of blue and green hydrogen production scenarios, analysis and synthesis method, and dynamic comparison method were used. The results of the study showed that in order to transition to a hydrogen economy in Azerbaijan, it is preferable to start with the production of blue hydrogen. There is potential for this in the form of rich natural gas reserves (confirmed gas reserves are 2.6 trillion cubic meters). With the advent of new technologies and lower production costs, a transition to green hydrogen will be possible. For this purpose, the country has a technical potential for renewable energy sources amounting to 135 GW on land and 157 GW at sea. The conclusions are that in order to transition to a hydrogen economy in Azerbaijan, it is necessary to adopt a strategy for transitioning the economy to a hydrogen basis, developing infrastructure, attracting investments in the modernization of chemical enterprises, and switching public transport to the use of hydrogen.

Trade and climate change are thought to be closely related. Sustainable trade cooperation with European Union (EU) countries is often linked to the issue of climate action and low carbon emissions. This research aims to examine the low carbon economy and the economic distance of ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand) towards their exports to EU countries. A low carbon economy is measured by the intensity of GHG emissions, analysed from three scopes, namely CO2 from manufacturing and industrial processes (part of scope-1), CO2 from electricity consumption (part of scope-2), and CO2 from waste (part of scope- 3). Data source from Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) and other sources, 2012-2022. Panel data regression with a gravity model is used in this analysis. The results show the implementation of a low carbon economy in ASEAN, so that in the future there seems to be continued trade between ASEAN countries and the EU. This is proven by the negative influence of carbon emission intensity scope-2, scope-3, and economic distance on increasing ASEAN exports, except scope-1. Low intensity means there is efficient use of resources for the economy, and low economic distance means trade is competitive.

In an era dominated by increasing global challenges and market volatilities, this study, firstly, embarks on an in-depth exploration of volatility transmission across clean energy stocks, crude oil and financial markets, emphasizing the underlying currents of geopolitical tensions. By using the advanced Multivariate Dynamic Conditional Correlation (MV-DCC) GARCH model, we unravel a landscape where volatility spillovers exhibit a distinct bidirectional nature, and geopolitical risk exerts a substantial impact, cascading from the oil market to financial markets and ultimately to clean energy stocks. Our findings underline the strategic importance of overweighting clean energy assets in a dual-asset portfolio that includes oil and financial equities to enhance investment strategies in turbulent market conditions. Secondly, we investigate the predictive power of oil and market-implied volatilities in forecasting clean energy market volatility by introducing a novel approach that melds the robustness of GARCH models with the flexibility of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, creating an innovative hybrid GARCH-LSTM framework. The empirical results demonstrate that this hybrid model significantly outstrips the predictive capabilities of traditional standalone models. Notably, while oil and market-implied volatilities substantially enhance prediction accuracy, the inclusion of historical data does not yield additional predictive value. The implications of our research extend beyond the analytical domain, resonating with financial practitioners and environmentally conscious investors who seek precision in valuation and foresight in market trends. For policymakers, the insights provided offer strategic guidance for developing robust clean energy policies. Overall, our research contributes a fresh perspective to the discourse on renewable energy investment, volatility forecasting, and the interplay between market dynamics and geopolitical risks.

This study investigates the asymmetric impacts of financial development, renewable energy consumption, and trade openness on economic growth in D-8 Islamic countries from 1970 to 2022, using advanced panel data techniques. The findings reveal long-run equilibrium relationships, with financial development and trade openness positively affecting gross domestic product (GDP) growth, while renewable energy exhibits an unexpected negative coefficient. The non-linear autoregressive distributed lag estimates uncover asymmetries, with larger GDP contractions from downside shocks in financial development and trade openness. Renewable energy shows growth penalties from negative changes but symmetric upside benefits. The results highlight the importance of well-developed financial systems, strategic renewable investments, and trade integration for sustainable growth. Policymakers should focus on financial reforms, renewable project facilitation, and reducing trade barriers, considering asymmetric impacts. This study contributes novel empirical evidence on asymmetric dynamics among these variables in D-8 countries, extending the literature through recent non-linear panel modeling techniques and demonstrating the merits of accounting for asymmetries. The combination of methods offers a robust and fresh perspective.

Iraq, one of the main oil exporting nations, is extremely susceptible to changes in the price of oil. This article attempts to investigate how the price of oil affects the way the Iraqi economy performs, as indicated by a number of factors (economic growth and international financial markets). We will apply econometric techniques in both linear and non-linear frameworks to accomplish this goal. To represent NARDL non-linearities in the relationship between the aforementioned economic variables, we will first look for linear cointegrating correlations and/or estimate ARDL models. If necessary, we will next use threshold cointegration. Thus, we demonstrate that, independent of the regime we are in, the asymmetry associated with the shock's sign is confirmed over the span January 2006–December 2020. Regarding the asymmetry associated with the shock's magnitude, it is only confirmed under the "below oil price threshold regime." In the "above oil price threshold regime," yields respond in a way that is proportionate to the shock's magnitude. Additionally, we demonstrate that the asymmetry associated with the shock's sign is confirmed during times of negative industrial output growth, while the influence of shocks looks symmetrical during times of positive industrial production variation.

Additionally, we demonstrate that the asymmetry associated with the shock's sign is confirmed during times of negative industrial output growth, while the influence of shocks looks symmetrical during times of positive industrial production variation.","PeriodicalId":38194,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy","volume":" 27","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141673873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
