Abstract

Defining and designing appropriate energy, economic and environmental policies that help minimize global carbon emissions remains a top priority for all governmental and non-governmental environmental organizations worldwide. In this digital age, the researcher has paid particular attention to his increasing use of ICT and its relevance to economic and environmental aspects. This paper addresses the sustainability challenges and energy security issues posed by rising energy demand, researchers and policymakers have identified clean future energy alternatives using the most recent data to provide important information for policymakers. The study focused on the key components of ICT investments to promote clean energy (renewables and nuclear) and carbon neutrality in a particular economy with the use of the most robust econometric panel data method for the latest available data sets to obtain reliable and efficient estimates. The study findings demonstrate that using renewable energy can help the EU achieve energy security while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, renewable energy deployment is still not substantial enough to mitigate environmental pollution in the presence of significant ICT investment in the EU member states.

Abstract

The global shift towards renewable energy is central to climate change mitigation, yet adoption remains uneven, particularly in resource-rich economies where financial liquidity constraints and fossil fuel dependence persist. This study advances the literature by providing a novel integrated analysis of how financial liquidity, digitalisation, and institutional quality jointly shape renewable energy adoption in both resource-abundant and resource-scarce economies. Using a dynamic panel data model, the research examines interactions among financial depth, digital advancements, and institutional quality in 124 economies, showing that good governance and financial policies can convert resource wealth into renewable energy drivers. Results indicate that broad money significantly predicts renewable energy usage, dependent on regulatory frameworks that encourage green investments. The traditional resource curse hypothesis is challenged, demonstrating that strong regulations can utilise natural wealth for sustainable energy transitions. This study contributes new evidence to the renewable energy–finance nexus and suggests that policymakers should focus on financial instruments supporting green initiatives, enhancing digital infrastructure, and enforcing solid governance. Resource-rich countries can maximise their energy potential by aligning monetary policies with sustainability objectives, fostering a cleaner and more sustainable future.
