“…There is no doubt that fossil fuel burning is responsible for three-quarters of all global greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, fossil fuels contribute to a large amount of local air pollution, leading to at least five million premature deaths annually (Giannakidis et al, 2018;Kapitonov et al, 2021).…”

Over the last 60 years, renewable energies have substantially developed; in 2021, around 12.8% of global primary energy came from these technologies. Thus, even though renewable energies have good global acceptance present challenges in quantifying the environmental, social, and cultural effects, generating a lack of knowledge of the impact caused. Nowadays, hydropower is the renewable source with the most significant participation; at the end of 2020, the hydropower installed capacity worldwide was 1,330 GW, and 4,370 TWh were generated in that year. Therefore, the manuscript aims to determine if there are changes in water quality due to the use of hydropower generation in five projects distributed in Ecuador, Argentina, and Uruguay. The methodology is quantitative experimental; experimental because it takes water samples to measure parameters and qualitatively compares the lab results to do statistical analyses. Based on the ten samples gathered, it concluded that from 14 physical and chemical parameters, the principal divergences fluctuated in the presence of dissolved solids (26%), total solids (21%), bicarbonates (15%), total hardness (14%), suspended solids (6%), and sodium (4%). Additionally, values show organic matter existence due to vegetation decomposition, and metabolites formed in dams such as Salto Grande, Hidroagoyan, Minas San Francisco, Baba, and Coca Codo Sinclair.

“…The role of alternative energy has been determined since it helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent climate change. In the world, this determines the development, considering international agreements and the implementation of the national policies of many states in this regard (Kapitonov et al, 2021).…”

Renewable energy sources have become a compelling investment proposition, and investment into renewable power has grown in the recent years. Scale up renewable energy investment is critical to accelerate the global energy transformation and reap its many benefits, while achieving climate and development targets. Public finance institutions provide public money to support public and private sector projects as well as policies and programmes that serve the public good with economic, environmental, or social benefits. Several such institutions have been established and resourced with the aim of supporting renewable energy investments such as: international financial institutions, development finance institutions, local financial institutions, export credit agencies, and climate finance institutions. The main aim of this paper was to analyze the investments provided by this type of institutions in the renewable energy sector in the world with a specific focus on European Union member states in 2009–2016.
