Modeling factors of biogas technology adoption: a roadmap towards environmental sustainability and green revolution

Abstract

In a developing country such as Pakistan, adopting biogas technology is a complicated process. The government has taken several steps to address energy issues by increasing biogas facilities. This research seeks to identify the major barriers to the deployment of biogas plants. Respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method. As a result, 79 adopters of biogas plants participated. Utilizing a structured questionnaire, primary data were collected. Hypotheses were evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Study results demonstrate that all influencing factors are favorably associated with implementing biogas technology, minimizing energy crises, and achieving cost-cutting objectives. In addition, the findings show that properly reducing economic and governmental barriers, encourage farmers to use biogas plants productively and substantially. To build biogas facilities, the government should adopt an economic strategy, owner training, day-to-day operations, and professional technical assistance.

Impact of energy depletion, human development, and income distribution on natural resource sustainability

“…As a result, depletion accounting considers several factors, such as how many years until resource exhaustion, how much it costs to extract the resource, and how much it is demanded. Developing countries primarily depend on resource-extraction industries for economic growth ( Ali et al, 2022 ; Khan et al, 2021d ). Development countries, therefore, suffer from greater depletion of resources and environmental degradation.…”

The spillover effects of uncertainty and globalization on environmental quality in India: Evidence from combined cointegration test and augmented ARDL model

“…The energy-economic growthpollution trilateral relationship is well known, as economic growth is based on energy consumption, while pollution is generated mainly by fossil fuels-generated energy (Al-Mulali et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2016). At the same time, the transition to renewable energy sources for fueling economic growth is widely recognized as one of the main solutions for ensuring both economic expansion and mitigation of climate change (Yuan et al, 2014;Abban et al, 2022;Ali et al, 2022;Khan I. etal., 2022b;Han et al, 2022).…”

How renewable energy and service growth influence environmental quality: Evidence from a sustainable development perspective

“…Several recent econometric studies investigated the interdependence between renewable and NRE, GDP, service development, and environmental quality indicators (Magazzino & Brady, 2018; Shahbaz et al, 2019; Bilgili et al, 2021; Magazzino, Mele, & Morelli, 2021; Ali et al, 2022; Cai et al, 2022; Liu, Saleem, et al, 2022c; Zhang et al, 2022; or Zahoor et al, 2022). From this vast body of literature, numerous papers inspected the supposition of the EKC.…”
