Geopolitics is an overarching characteristic of much of this outlook for the key themes in the global energy economy in 2025. The start of Donald Trump’s second term in the White House will herald new pressures to multiple layers of the global economy, from trade to labour, monetary policy to...

Central Asian economies, particularly Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, are pursuing increasingly ambitious goals for renewable energy. Apart from China - an established player in the market - it has increasingly been Gulf countries that have been implementing respective projects, particularly Saudi...

Low-carbon energy transition, which includes the replacement of fossil fuels with low-carbon energy infrastructure, the removal of subsidies, and other measures, requires households to be able to pay for low-carbon energy services. Economic shocks such as the coronavirus disease pandemic and...

This study examines key indicators impacting China's industrial sector: carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by industry, industrial value added per worker, technology advancement in industrial design, fossil fuel usage, and energy losses in production and transmission. China's industrial sector,...

We build a general equilibrium model to study how climate transition risks affect energy prices and the valuations of different firms in the energy sector. We consider two types of fossil fuel firms: incumbents that have developed oil reserves they can extract today or tomorrow, and new entrants...

Existing literature confirms both the role of agricultural technology in elevating agricultural productivity and the positive effects of green energy on environmental sustainability; nevertheless, less attention has been paid to agrotechnology's energy sources and their adaptability to...

The EU agreed to phase out fossil fuel subsidies (FFS). Nevertheless, FFS strongly increased in 2022 to address the effects of the energy price spikes reached during the energy crisis. Phasing out FFS is therefore also a critical element analysed as part of the European Semester. This paper...

Policies that affect t he c ost o f u sing f ossil f uels i n p roduction h ave a complex impact on the economy. In this paper, we focus on the role of these policies for the pattern of comparative advantage through their effect o n p roduction c osts in manufacturing industries. Using data on...

We study the impact of fossil fuel subsidy removal on presidential popularity using difference-indifference approaches and a stylized theoretical model. Analyzing macro level data for two subsidy removal events in Mexico and Bolivia in the early 2010s, we find evidence of a negative impact on...

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, along with the imposition of energy sanctions on Russian energy sources, has prompted a reassessment of the global energy market. Utilizing the difference in differences model, this study investigates the financial performance disparities among fossil...

This study explores the nexus between electricity consumption, fossil fuel use, renewable energy adoption, population growth, GDP, and environmental pollution in Indonesia, incorporating open innovation dynamics as a novel dimension of analysis. The study uncovers significant long-term...

This paper proposes a novel index, ECI (Electricity Climate-Compatibility Index), to measure global fossil fuel electricity generation alignment with climate targets. Net anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) must approach zero by mid-century to stabilise the mean temperature to well...

This study presents an archetype-based approach to designing effective strategies for low-carbon transitions in the power sector. To achieve global energy transition goals, a renewable energy transition is critical, and understanding diverse energy landscapes across different countries is...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of green finance on sustainability in Germany and the European Union (EU). This aim will be achieved by examining recent data in this field via a panel fixed effect regression model. When comparing Germany and the EU in terms of the value of...

Goals to mitigate climate change are to be achieved through government strategies and policies, as well as the availability of low-carbon technologies, and are subject to the underlying institutional, political, economic, and other factors that promote or constrain progress and the path taken. A...

A concern persistent in scarcity-based market designs for electricity over many years has been the illiquidity of markets for long-term contracts to hedge away volatile price exposures between generators and consumers. These missing markets have been attributed to a range of factors including...

We investigate the impact of expectations about future climate policy on investment decisions of fossil fuel firms. Our empirical analysis reveals that firms with greater exposure to climate change significantly increased their investment in response to the Paris Agreement, in contrast to firms...

Africa, abundant in natural resources, faces growth challenges due to widespread energy poverty and heightened biofuel use with severe environmental impacts. Recognizing the connection between energy consumption and climate change is crucial for implementing sustainable solutions and...

Global climate change triggered by the escalating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions resulting from heightened economic expansion and consumption of energy represents the foremost environmental concern in the contemporary global context. China is accountable for nearly 27% of total global CO2...
