“…This indicates that an efficient transport sector significantly enhances crude-oil consumption in an economy. This finding is supported by the previous studies (Nouni et al 2021 ; Capuano 2018 ; Khan et al 2022a ), which argued that crude-oil consumption is strongly associated with various modes of transportation.…”

“…However, the expansion of all modes of transportation could lead to an increase in crude oil consumption. Additionally, transportation fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, are anticipated to be the most widely consumed product in 2045, accounting for 109 million barrels per day (Nouni et al 2021 ).…”

“…Besides, in 2045, the contribution of transportation fuels, i.e., gasoline and diesel, is projected to remain the leading consumed product for 109 mills. barrels per day (Nouni et al 2021 ). Due to heavy dependence on oil products, transport is critical for polluting the environment while having a heightened level of CO 2 emission and its adverse effects on urban inhabitants (Kanaboshi et al 2021 ).…”

This research attempts to model the association of crude oil imports with several macroeconomic factors such as renewable energy, transport services, trade, industrial value-added, and patents, using Germany’s annual data covering the period of 1990–2020. Employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag model, this study finds a significant co-integration relationship among targeted variables. Moreover, this study provides empirical evidence on the influence of given macroeconomic factors in determining crude oil imports of Germany. Results reveal that transport services and industrial value-added positively and significantly influence crude oil imports in the long and short run. Similarly, trade is discovered to have a significant positive impact on oil imports only in the long run. In contrast, findings reveal a significant negative association of renewable energy with crude oil imports. Hence, this research implies that the transportation sector and industrial production strongly depend on crude oil consumption. At the same time, promoting renewable energy in these segments could significantly help economies control crude oil demand and achieve sustainability by reducing the economic burden and protecting the environment.

“…A plethora of research on technical feasibility of modern biofuel adoption is available (Dhar et al , 2018; Nouni et al , 2021); however, there exists a lack of literature on commercial viability for decarbonizing transport. We attempt to bridge the existing literature gap (over papers shown in Table 1) and forecast potential biofuel economy with accordance to the growing vehicular penetration in the country.…”

Purpose This paper aims to review the role of government initiatives for developing clean fuels in India, decarbonize the transport sector and maximize the use of renewable sources of energy. India’s socio-economic prosperity is dependent on modern energy. The authors examine the role of biofuel in India’s emerging fuel mix. Design/methodology/approach A 20-year timeframe between 2000 and 2021 was set to learn about the subject and find the existing gaps. Of the 40 research papers, the authors found using keywords and delimiting criteria in the database, the authors have shortlisted 21 papers, which provided the theoretical framework for the study. Additionally, the authors used the government database to develop future projections using compound annual growth rate and trend analysis. Findings The study findings suggest that India should strictly implement the Biofuel Policy to promote indigenous production of biofuel to enhance affordability and accessibility. With blending options available with biofuels and biogas, the country can replace the right proportion of fossil fuel use by 2050. It will not only decrease India’s import dependence but also will create new job opportunities, specifically in tribal and remote locations and promote green energy mix. With emerging options like electric vehicle and hydrogen, the transport sector could be decarbonized to a greater extent. Social implications Indigenous cleaner fuel adoption and transport sector will generate additional employment and cut down fossil fuel import. Financial savings through reduced fossil fuel import will be directed toward social development. Originality/value The paper carries out critical analysis for the active use of modern green fuels in the present and coming days. Such unique analysis must help India to balance its energy basket.

“…Although the report warned that there is still a lot of uncertainty due to the pandemic, energy sector experts from around the world said that their assessments were generally in line with expectations for the diverse global energy markets. Other studies have underlined that India faces the challenge of ensuring that its energy sectors cope with a steadily increasing share of the country's energy needs and the impact of climate change on energy security [62,63].…”

Renewable Energy in the Sustainable Development of Electrical Power Sector: A Review

The electrical power sector plays an important role in the economic growth and development of every country around the world. Total global demand for electric energy is growing both in developed and developing economies. The commitment to the decarbonization of economies, which would mean replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources (RES) as well as the electrification of transport and heating as a means to tackle global warming and dangerous climate change, would lead to a surge in electricity consumption worldwide. Hence, it appears reasonable that the electric power sector should embed the principles of sustainable development into its functioning and operation. In addition, events such as the recent European gas crisis that have emerged as a result of the massive deployment of renewables need to be studied and prevented. This review aims at assessing the role of the renewable energy in the sustainable development of the electrical power sector, focusing on the energy providers and consumers represented both by businesses and households that are gradually becoming prosumers on the market of electric energy. Furthermore, it also focuses on the impact of renewables on the utility side and their benefits for the grid. In addition, it identifies the major factors of the sustainable development of the electrical power sector.
