“…When it comes to promoting global economic development, attempts to reduce energy consumption, particularly from conventional energy sources, have an environmental effect. However, the economic impact of energy usage continues to dominate the narrative of contemporary research [87][88][89]. Another issue is the widespread reliance on fossil fuels in the emerging economies like Pakistan.…”

In this paper we examined the interaction between greenhouse gas emissions, nuclear energy, coal energy, urban agglomeration, and economic growth in Pakistan by utilizing time series data during 1972–2019. The stationarity of the variables was tested through unit root tests, while the ARDL (autoregressive distributed lag) method with long and short-run estimations was applied to reveal the linkages between variables. A unidirectional association between all variables was revealed by performing a Granger causality test under the vector error correction model (VECM) that was extracted during the short-run estimate. Furthermore, the stepwise least squares technique was also utilized to check the robustness of the variables. The findings of long-run estimations showed that GHG emissions, coal energy, and urban agglomeration have an adversative association with economic growth in Pakistan, while nuclear energy showed a dynamic association with the economic growth. The outcomes of short-run estimations also show that nuclear energy has a constructive association with economic growth, while the remaining variables exposed an adversative linkage to economic growth in Pakistan. Similarly, the Granger causality test under the vector error correction model (VECM) outcomes exposes that all variables have unidirectional association. Furthermore, the outcomes of the stepwise least squares technique reveals that GHG emissions and coal energy have an adverse association with economic growth, and variables nuclear energy and urban agglomeration have a productive linkage to the economic growth in Pakistan. GHG emissions are no doubt an emerging issue globally; therefore, conservative policies and financial support are needed to tackle this issue. Despite the fact that Pakistan contributes less to greenhouse gas emissions than industrialized countries, the government must implement new policies to address this problem in order to contribute to environmental sustainability while also enhancing economic development.

“…In addition, the technological infrastructure of the region where hydrogen energy investments will be made is important for the supply and use of hydrogen energy and should be considered when considering investment decisions. On the other hand, Bhogilla et al [43], San Marchi et al [44], and Arat et al [45] have emphasized that for this infrastructure to exist, companies must continue their necessary research and development activities. Specific to this study, different methodologies were considered, such as optimization and survey.…”

This study seeks to find the appropriate strategies necessary to make sustainable and effective hydrogen energy investments. Within this scope, nine different criteria are defined regarding social, managerial, and financial factors. A hesitant, interval-valued, intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) methodology is considered to calculate the degree of importance of the criteria. Additionally, impact relation maps are also generated to visualize the causality relationship between the factors. The findings indicate that the technical dimension has the greatest importance in comparison to managerial and financial factors. Furthermore, it is also concluded that storage and logistics, research and development, and technological infrastructure are the most significant factors to be considered when defining hydrogen energy investment strategies. Hence, before investing in hydrogen energy, necessary actions should be taken to minimize the storage and logistic costs. Among them, building the production site close to the usage area will contribute significantly to this purpose. In this way, possible losses during the transportation of hydrogen can be minimized. Moreover, it is essential to identify the lowest-cost hydrogen storage method by carrying out the necessary research and development activities, thereby increasing the sustainability and effectiveness of hydrogen energy investment projects.

“…Moreover, the nexus of energy and economic growth has continued to be investigated for different cases through the conceptual frameworks demonstrated in the recent literature but providing ambiguous empirical findings 5–8 . Despite the environmental consequences of energy utilization (especially from the conventional sources), the economic impact of energy utilization amidst the drive for global economic prosperity has continued to dominate the narratives in the extant studies 9–12 . Importantly, Adedoyin and Zakari 13 and Shahbaz et al 14 observed the role of economic growth and energy utilization in environmental quality, especially for the United Kingdom.…”

Summary This paper sheds light on the causality linkages between economic growth and energy production, that is, natural gas, bioenergy and waste, coal, nuclear, petroleum, wind, solar and hydro for the United Kingdom over the period 1998Q1 to 2017Q4. To this end, we apply time‐domain causality tests—Toda‐Yamamoto causality test and gradual shift causality test, and frequency domain causality (FDC) test for empirical analysis to sort out the causality among the outlined variables under consideration. Empirical findings from the spectral BC causality test reveal that (a) changes in energy production from natural gas and petroleum spur significant changes in economic growth in the United Kingdom; (b) economic growth causes energy production from natural gas, petroleum, wind, solar, hydro and nuclear and (c) it is worthy of mentioning that time and FDC tests provide consistent outcomes at different significance and frequency levels. On the causality analysis, the hypothesis that natural gas triggers economic growth is valid, while the result also reveals a feedback causality the variables of concern. Similarly, economic growth drives nuclear energy production one‐way as well as total energy drives economic growth. These results provide policy implications for energy and environmental sustainability in the United Kingdom where renewable energy sources drive economic growth. Thus, necessitates the need to maintain the current trajectory for more renewable energy promotion in energy mix relative to fossil‐fuel energy sources. Highlights Economic impact is revisited for the United Kingdom over the period 1998Q1 to 2017Q4. Toda‐Yamamoto, gradual shift and frequency domain causality tests were employed. Distinct roles of natural gas, fossil, nuclear and mix of renewables were explored. Changes in natural gas and petroleum significantly spur economic growth. Frequency domain causality tests offer consistent time and frequency changes.
