The effect of energy transition technologies on greenhouse gas emissions: New evidence from ASEAN countries

The prime objective of the study is to examine the effectiveness of renewable electricity output, energy usage, RE consumption, ecological innovation, and industrialization on GHG emissions in ASEAN economies. Secondary data from 2006 to 2020 is extracted from multiple sources, such as WDI and OECD. The CS-ARDL method is used to observe the associations among the constructs. The results reveal that renewable electricity output, RE consumption, and ecological innovation reduce GHG emissions, whereas energy use and industrialization share a positive correlation with GHG emissions. With this evidence, the study advises regulators to reform policies by incorporating the use of energy transition technologies that fulfil the green agenda.
