Does development of renewable energy reduce energy intensity? Evidence from 82 countries?
Increasing renewable energy sources in the energy mix has been shown to assist in mitigating carbon intensity, as indicated by studies across various countries . Research on 30 Chinese provinces revealed that a 1% increase in renewable energy technology innovation led to a significant reduction in carbon intensity in the long term . Moreover, analysis of 26 EU nations demonstrated that clean energy, including renewable sources, contributes to reducing energy intensity, emphasizing the importance of renewable energy policies for energy efficiency . These findings collectively suggest that the development of renewable energy plays a crucial role in reducing energy intensity, providing valuable insights for policymakers aiming to achieve sustainable energy goals in 82 countries.
