“…In contrast, using renewable energy improves environmental quality by lowering CO2 emissions. The results of some studies (Ibrahim & Ajide, 2021;Usman et al, , 2023Wen et al, 2022;Zafar et al, 2019), indicate that economic growth and nonrenewable energy consumption increase carbon emissions, while renewable energy consumption reduces carbon emissions, support the findings of the current study.…”

“…While technological innovation is found to boost environmental quality, trade openness, industrialization, and economic growth are found to reduce it over time. Wen et al (2022) investigate the effects of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption on carbon emissions. Annual data for African countries from 1990 to 2019 are used to calculate the cross-sectional autoregressive distributed model (CS-ARDL).…”

Purpose ─ This study examines the effects of economic growth, the use of renewable and non-renewable energy sources, and trade openness on carbon emissions in VISTA countries (Vietnam, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkiye, and Argentina)Method ─ In this work, empirical methods include the second-generation unit root and cointegration tests, as well as Panel AMG and Panel CCE estimators.Findings ─ The following are the key findings. First, the variables demonstrate a long-run relationship. Second, economic growth and the consumption of non-renewable energy sources contribute to an increase in carbon emissions over time, whereas the consumption of renewable energy sources lowers carbon emissions over time. Implication ─ To promote sustainable growth in VISTA countries, it is recommended to increase investments in renewable energy sources while enhanching public sector supports for the private sector.Originality ─ This is the first study to examine how economic growth, trade openness, and renewable and non-renewable energy sources affect carbon emissions in VISTA nations.

“…GDP denotes domestic output of country i (1, 2, 3, 19), using real GDP at constant 2010 prices = US$100; t denotes the time (2010, 2011, 2012, ... 2021); renewable energy consumption (in exajoules). In this study, non-renewable energy consumption is the sum of natural gas consumption and petroleum consumption [44,45]. Hence, natural gas consumption (in exajoules); petroleum consumption consists of raw materials for fuel oil, gasoline, and other chemical products (in exajoules).…”

This study examines the impacts of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption, urban population, and population size on economic growth. This study utilizes the Panel Unit Root Test, Pedroni's Residual-based Cointegration Test, and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) techniques to analyze data from 2010 to 2021 for 19 countries within the Group of Twenty (G20). The cointegration test indicates that renewable energy consumption, nonrenewable energy consumption, urban population, and total population are long-term associated with GDP growth. According to FMOLS estimates, renewable energy consumption has a positive impact on GDP growth in G20 countries. The impact of renewable energy consumption on GDP growth varies; natural gas consumption does not affect GDP growth, but petroleum consumption significantly affects GDP growth in G20 countries. Furthermore, the study identifies the urban population as a control variable that harms GDP growth. The empirical evidence derived from this study posits that it would be judicious for G20 policymakers to proactively institute a suite of policies that invigorate the advancement of renewable energy sources, given that such a course of action has been demonstrated to engender a notable augmentation in GDP growth.

In this study, we placed significant emphasis on the impact of technology on environmental quality in Indonesia. Technology plays a vital role in the country's progression towards becoming a developed nation; however, it brings both advantages and disadvantages. Indonesia has witnessed substantial economic growth, closely linked to the development and adoption of technology, whether domestically generated or through foreign direct investment (FDI). The primary objective of this study is to investigate the influence of technology and other key macroeconomic variables such as economic growth, FDI, income distribution, globalization, electricity, and urbanization on the level of carbon emissions. The study utilizes annual time series data spanning from 1990 to 2020. The main findings of the study confirm that technology has the potential to reduce environmental pollution levels in the country. However, the impact of other variables on environmental pollution displays a mixed result. Policymakers should pay attention to the significant role of technology and promote government programs that support innovation as a means to address environmental concerns effectively. By doing so, the nation can leverage technology to foster sustainable development and mitigate the adverse impacts of industrialization on the environment.
