“…Woldemedhin et al [22] conducted a study examining the relationship between forests, energy consumption, and economic growth within the context of Ethiopia's climate-resilient green economy strategy. The study highlighted that forests play a crucial role as a source of energy and income in tropical regions, and economic growth significantly affects both forest coverage and energy usage patterns.…”

Deforestation is a central topic in the ongoing environmental degradation stemming from global economic expansion and population growth. This study delved into the effects of electricity production from renewable sources, GDP per capita, and urbanization on forest area growth in Finland during the over-three-decade research period, 1990–2022, using an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. Both the ARDL bounds test and the Bayer–Hanck cointegration tests proved the existence of a long-term cointegrating relationship between the variables, and the constructed error correction model (ECM) evaluated short-term relationships. The results showed that: (i) forest area growth is positively connected with electricity production from renewable sources and urbanization; (ii) forest area growth is negatively connected with economic growth; (iii) in the short run, forest area growth is positively connected with all regressors. The utilized ARDL-ECM model, characterized by its robustness and appropriateness, validated the time-series dynamics. The obtained results were scrutinized, and their policy implications were thoroughly examined. Additionally, recommendations are provided to ensure the sustainability and success of forest conservation efforts.

“…The rise in energy consumption is accompanied by rapid economic growth. The rise of energy consumption will accelerate economic growth because energy is an element in economic growth and the relation between both of those variables are related (Waheed et al, 2019;Woldemedhin et al, 2022).…”

Industrialization on renewable energy is needed to begin to avoid dependence on fossil fuels. West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province has the potential for the development of bioethanol which is integrated with the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) nuclear reactor. Through this study, the economics of sugar- ethanol plant and SMR reactors was calculated, as well as development schemes supported by policy recommendations will be presented. This study uses cash flow modelling from a sugar-ethanol plant and SMR to determine the economics of the project. The potential site is mapped by using scoring method to obtain the best location. The SMR reactor can operate with Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 9%, Net Present Value (NPV) USD 2,325,347,181, and payback period 13 years. The sugar-ethanol plant has IRR of 12.6%, NPV 441,278,716, and payback period of 10 years. The appropriate locations for the construction of the SMR reactor are in Bima and Dompu districts, based on mapping analysis both locations have potential for future development.
