“…They estimated that in various economic growth rates, energy and CO 2 emissions in 10% GDP growth. Thus, sustainable energy substitution and technological progress are significant in reducing pollution [ 37 ]. According to Wang et al [ 38 ], turbulence can affect the generation of energy by influencing the efficiency and stability of various energy production processes, such as wind and hydroelectric power, where fluctuating fluid dynamics can enhance or disrupt the capture and conversion of kinetic energy into electricity.…”

Studying and analyzing energy consumption and structural changes in Pakistan’s major economic sectors is crucial for developing targeted strategies to improve energy efficiency, support sustainable economic growth, and enhance energy security. The logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) method is applied to find the factors’ effects that change sector-wise energy consumption from 1990 to 2019. The results show that: (1) the change in mixed energy and sectorial income shows a negative influence, while energy intensity (EI) and population have an increasing trend over the study period. (2) The EI effects of the industrial, agriculture and transport sectors are continuously rising, which is lowering the income potential of each sector. (3) The cumulative values for the industrial, agricultural, and transport sectors increased by 57.3, 5.3, and 79.7 during 2019. Finally, predicted outcomes show that until 2035, the industrial, agriculture, and transport incomes would change by -0.97%, 13%, and 65% if the energy situation remained the same. Moreover, this sector effect is the most crucial contributor to increasing or decreasing energy consumption, and the EI effect plays the dominant role in boosting economic output. Renewable energy technologies and indigenous energy sources can be used to conserve energy and sectorial productivity.

“…On the basis, we employed the LMDI method to calculate the changes in different sectors and energy use in Pakistan which can be used to check the economic condition. Thus, the current variables are important to investigate their association because Pakistan is an emerging economy and most of its economy depends on fuel [ 37 ].…”
