This paper investigates the potential of Romanian renewable energy across energy production and consumption definitions. Moreover, it presents a model that estimates the regional evolution of renewable energy diffusion, focusing primarily on hydro energy. Statistics showed that Romanian consumers have a key role in developing the renewable energy market, while it is also very important to ensur...

Globalization of energy market in GCC countries is deepening not only through free-flowing international trade but also through foreign investment, market-driven domestic economies and industrialization.

Sustainable energy utilization and environmental protection are important to sustainable economic growth. In this paper, we develop an endogenous economic growth model and discuss the optimal path of sustainable economic growth with the constraints of energy and environment. We find that sustainable economic growth can be achieved only when the relative contribution rate of environment protecti...

The objectives of this research were to investigate influences of energy inputs and energy forms on output levels and evaluation of CO2 emissions for hazelnut production in Guilan province of Iran. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis was done by marginal physical productivity (MPP) method for energy inputs and energy using linear regression. Initial data were collected from 120 orchar...

As climate concerns, low natural gas prices, and renewable technologies increase the electric power sector’s dependence on natural gas-fired power plants, operational and investment models for gas and electric power systems will need to incorporate the interdependencies between these two systems to accurately capture the impacts of one on the other. Currently, few hybrid gas-electricity models ...

How to promote renewable energy investment is central transformation and green development. To take China’s “green credit guidelines” policy as a quasi-natural experiment, we investigate the impacts of on investment. Using samples 1021 Chinese listed enterprises during 2007–2017, find that: Firstly, introduction guidelines has promoted Secondly, short-term debts play mediating role in investmen...

This study examines the objectives behind Algerian government’s investment in renewable energy—whether decision is for financial or socio-economic feasibility. The applies Net Present Value (NPV) method to provide an answer. findings show that feasibility, rather than sought from energy. latter remains inappropriate criterion assessing a project’s success failure. are helpful future studies bui...
