“…The studies conclude that declining income inequality raises the consumption of renewable energy. The study by Maji and Adamu (2021) using data sets for the period 1989–2019 explored in the context of Nigeria the impact of renewable energy on the quality of the environment. Based on sectoral composition of the GDP, the study concludes the favourable impact of renewable energy on the quality of the environment.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine how renewable energy consumption moderates the relationship between inequality and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS). The nexus between energy use and geopolitical tensions has also been explored. Design/methodology/approach This study has used distinctive data sets from 1990 to 2018 to explore the interconnections on emission, energy use, inequality and geopolitics. To do away with the difficulties related to heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence (CD), this paper uses recent estimation methods that are robust to panel heterogeneity and CD. Findings The results of the panel augmented mean group (AMG) estimation and common correlated effects mean group (CCEMG) estimation verify the environmental Kuznets curve. The findings show that a 1% rise in Gini inequality leads to a 0.24% rise in the CO2 emission (AMG) method and a 0.17% rise in emissions CCEMG (method). As far as the moderating impact of renewable energy upon Gini measure of inequality is concerned, it is −0.10 AMG and CCEMG methods of estimation, respectively. However, the moderating impact of renewable energy on the geopolitical index leads to a mitigating impact on CO2 emissions, 0.55% decline in AMG method. Originality/value This research makes a distinctive contribution by investigating for the first time to the best of the authors’ knowledge the main pillars of sustainable ecological development in the context of the BRICS nations.

The study explores the effect of renewable energy consumption on sectoral output in the presence of government effectiveness. A regressions method was used to analyze data from 1989 to 2019. The result revealed evidence of the positive and vital impact of renewable energy consumption on the sectoral output of the manufacturing and construction sectors. Although the elasticity of government effectiveness is neutral, trade openness has revealed evidence of positive and significant impact on sectoral outputs. However, population growth does not have a favourable impact on sectoral outputs. Furthermore, renewable energy consumption is not essential in determining the agricultural sector, transportation sector and other sectors. To quickly diversify the economy, policymakers should further increase awareness and provide more incentives for renewable energy in these sectors

“…First, the growing urban population worldwide and its resulting environmental consequences, shift the attention to renewable energy sources which are thought to be less pollutant than traditional fossil fuels. Surveying literature on the renewable energy-transport-based CO 2 emissions nexus, one can capture three strands of research: the first strand focuses on cointegration to explore the long-term relationship between renewables and transport-based CO 2 e (Cepoi et al, 2020;Maji and Adamu, 2021;Hassan et al, 2022). The second strand regards both long-term relationship and causality between renewables and TCO 2 e (Simionescu et al, 2017;Amin et al, 2020;Danish I;Godil et al, 2021).…”

Given the unprecedented level of air pollution in urban areas, green transport systems has been a subject to an important debate in academic and policymaking circles. Despite the considerable outputs of the attendant literature, most of empirical studies to date have relied on conventional econometric models in which structural shocks are not controlled. This study, therefore, aims to offer a new perceptive of the dynamic connection between renewable energy, environment-related technological innovation, and transport-based CO2 emissions in Turkey during 1990Q1 to 2014Q1 by applying the Structural Vector Autoregressive approach (SVAR). Furthermore, to explore the co-movements and the lead-lag interrelations among the study variables, the wavelet coherence technique was used. The wavelet coherence technique circumvents the other traditional causality approaches by detecting the causal interrelation between the underlying series at different frequencies. The findings disclose that environment-related technological innovation has no reliable power to explain the variation in CO2 emissions from the transport sector. Solar energy is found to impact the CO2 emissions positively in the long run, while biofuels hold the same effect in short run. Moreover, per capita GDP and urbanization significantly impact the carbon emissions from the transport system in the long run with a negative sign. The wavelet analysis reveals that renewables and environmental-related technological innovation lead the transport-based CO2 emissions. The fourth and 16th periods are the most dominant frequencies. Accordingly, the study suggests that innovation in environment-related technologies is not enough to mitigate the pollution that stemming from the transport system in Turkey, it should be accompanied by strong and effective environmental measures. These policies might include environmental taxations, carbon pricing and trading schemes, which aim not only to prevent the pollution and over-extraction of resources, but also to promote the public revenues from different activities that related to environmental purposes and other applications such as energy product and vehicle fuels. In addition, it is suggested to strengthening the transportation system through the deployment of renewables and high-tech eco-friendly modes of transportation.
