“…Generally speaking, the more CO 2 emissions there are, the output of RERs will increase rapidly (Mendonca et al, 2020). From Table 2, we establish that the relationship between RERs output and CO 2 emissions is positive, which is consistent with the conclusion of Ikram et al (2020). For every unit increase in carbon dioxide emissions, the output of renewable energy resources will increase by 83.724 units.…”

Planning for the research and development (R&D) of renewable energy resources (RERs) has not received enough attention. This paper aims to study the planning for the R&D of RERs in order to avoid bottlenecks and ensure sustainable development in developing marine economies. We have established a triple difference model (DDD) model and a wise pig game model between the theoretical government and enterprise. The data on RERs come from the World Bank and International Energy Agency databases. We have three contributions on the basis of distinguishing between mature and immature marine RERs technologies. First, it emphasizes the importance of developing R&D planning for marine RERs immature technology in the future. Second, the DDD model is used to empirically establish whether RERs planning has a significant positive impact on RERs’ output, which explains the importance of existing RERs planning. Third, the wise pig game model is used to analyze the welfare benefits to the government brought by the R&D planning of marine RERs which proves the importance of future RERs R&D planning.

“…Increases in the level of emissions and global warming around the world have created significant challenges for governments which try to manage it through different strategies. Since many researchers have highlighted the importance of carbon emissions to climate change (Nathaniel et al 2020;Li et al 2020;Fan et al 2019), one strategy can be to increase the share of renewable energy in the energy mix (Anwar et al 2021; Balsalobre-Lorente and Leitão 2020; Ikram et al 2020). This issue has been taken into full consideration by many countries through the Kyoto Protocol of 1997, the Paris Agreement of 2015, and the United Nations Conference of 2017.…”

The development of economies and energy usage can significantly impact the carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the factors that determine CO 2 emissions in MENA under the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) framework by applying novel quantile techniques on data for CO 2 emissions, real income, renewable and non-renewable energy consumption, and urbanization over the period from 1990 to 2015. The results from the estimations suggest that renewable energy consumption significantly reduces the level of emissions; furthermore, its impact increases with higher quantiles. In addition, non-renewable energy consumption increases CO 2 emissions, while its magnitude decreases with higher quantiles. The empirical results also confirm the validity of EKC hypothesis for the panel of MENA economies. Policymakers in the region should implement policies and regulations to promote the adoption and use of renewable energy to mitigate carbon emissions.

“…At the start of the outbreak of COVID-19, the absence of proper economic planning afterward caused these to be implemented disorganized and ineffectively, also compromising access to available social and health resources. Considering recent events, the same mistakes were made, mainly in the framing effect in renewable energy [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54]. This paper's results prove the novelty of this work: a practical approach concerning the COVID-19 measures and recommendations that enable sustainable development in the time of COVID-19 measures.…”

“…As a result, the simulation confirmed that there is a difference in the frequencies of pattern selection concerning the country's population. The risky decision was made in the USA (Figure 4) earlier than other countries' actions in the corresponding time of choice [48][49][50][51][52][53].…”

The main goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of restrictive measures introduced in connection with COVID-19 on consumption in renewable energy markets. The study will be based on the hypothesis that similar changes in human behavior can be expected in the future with the further spread of COVID-19 and/or the introduction of additional quarantine measures around the world. The analysis also yielded additional results. The strongest reductions in energy generation occurred in countries with a high percentage (more than 80%) of urban population (Brazil, USA, the United Kingdom and Germany). This study uses two models created with the Keras Long Short-Term Memory (Keras LSTM) Model, and 76 and 10 parameters are involved. This article suggests that various restrictive strategies reduced the sustainable demand for renewable energy and led to a drop in economic growth, slowing the growth of COVID-19 infections in 2020. It is unknown to what extent the observed slowdown in the spread from March 2020 to September 2020 due to the policy’s impact and not the interaction between the virus and the external environment. All renewable energy producers decreased the volume of renewable energy market supply in 2020 (except China).
