Energy Diffusion

Abstract The foremost need for countries especially Pakistan and other Asian countries is the hunt for renewable and alternative energy because the scarcity of energy is faced by many countries like Pakistan. There are a number of approaches seeking to demonstrate the diffusion of renewable energy technologies (RET). Learning and experience curves are the highest generally exercised instruments, followed by further economic, policy- and barrier-related analyses. The purpose of this study is to support research on the role of raw material prices specifically oil price and gas price on Renewable energy diffusion. Panel regression with fixed effects model is applied on data of 3 Asian countries namely Pakistan, India, and China for the period 1990 to 2012 gathered from World Bank and EIA (Energy Information Administration). The findings reveal that the model confirms an adequate fit and a very significant influence of oil prices on investments in renewable energy technology capacity whereas the insignificant influence of natural gas prices in a renewable energy technology capacity.

The Impact

With the depletion of fossil energy and the rise of global temperature, it is urgent to use renewable energy to solve environmental problems. By studying the heterogeneous relationship between CO2 emissions and renewable energy technology innovation in different countries, we can find out the gap and something helpful to energy development. In the empirical test, we use the negative binomial regression model with fixed effects to study the impact of CO2 emissions on renewable energy technology innovation from 1997 to 2016. The research shows that impact is positive in oil-importing countries, but this relationship is not established in oil-exporting countries. In both oil importers and oil exporters, CO2 emissions have a positive effect on the solar energy technological innovation, however, the influence on the technology innovation of solar energy in oil exporters is more significant than that of renewable energy. Whether for oil importers or oil exporters, it can be more reasonable and effective to develop renewable energy by clarifying the impact of CO2 emissions on domestic renewable energy technology innovation.
