This article investigates the relationship between economic growth, renewable energy consumption, gross fixed capital and total number of labor for 1980-2012 in selected OECD countries in terms of sustainability. Four OECD countries are included in our model in order to differentiate the...

Recently, Turkey is attempting to improve its energy efficiency policies. As the demand of energy is increasing in Turkey, improving energy efficiency can be considered as an efficient way to achieve its sustainable development goals. In this respect, government policies and program strategies...

India’s fossil fuel based energy-led economic growth has changed its pattern over a time and it is mainly driven by energy efficiency. In this paper, we have considered reduction in energy waste as a proxy of energy efficiency and analyzed its interplay with economic growth for 1971-2010. We...

This paper investigates the causal relationship among electricity supply, fossil fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and economic growth in Nigeria for the period 1971-2009, in a multivariate framework.Using the bound test approach to cointegration, we found a short-run as well as a long-run...

It can be said that the global crisis in the world in 2008 deeply affected all states and changed almost all balances. Such crises experienced in the world during this period and possible same crises in the future are important. However, such crises have monetary solutions although they have...

This paper provides an information technology perspective of energy that can help explain and promote more environmentally friendly energy sources. Following the equation energy equals mass times velocity squared (E = m * v2), a source 10 times more massive will produce 10 times more energy, but...

Contemporary environmental policy is marked by an emphasis on the fight against climate change. Technological improvements for energy efficiency and transition to a low carbon economy are seen as principal environmental policy measures. Has this been the case 40 years ago when modern...

Efficient and well-developed power sector enables growth and boost of the economy, competitiveness of the national economy, affects the improvement of living standard of the population and development of society. In this respect, the basic task of the power sector is to ensure quality delivery...

In recent years due to factors, such as increases in greenhouse and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, global warming and climate changes has become a major threat for all countries. So in order to prevent this increased environmental pollution and degradation CO2 emissions must be reduced. This...

The paper presents the environmental impact created through the introduction of introducing new technologies in transportation domain. New electric vehicles are considered zeroemission vehicles (ZEV). However, electricity produced in power plants is still predominantly based on fossil fuel usage...
