Sažetak
Decarbonising the energy industry is an essential aim due to recent
environmental disasters and the continued impacts of global warming.
Energy technology (E.T.), research and development, and technical
innovation are critical to successfully transitioning from fossil
fuels to renewables. The current study investigates the role of E.T.,
renewable electricity output (R.E.T.), R&D expenditures (R.A.D.),
technological innovation (T.E.I.) and gross domestic product (G.D.P.)
in mitigating territorial-based carbon emissions (CO2) for the five
leading emerging economies from 1991 to 2021. The movement
quantile regression (M.M.Q.R.) approach demonstrates that E.T.,
R.A.D., R.E.T. and T.E.I. cut CO2 emissions, whereas G.D.P. increases
emissions in targeted nations. E.T. is the fundamental driving force
behind decarburisation and the move to greener energy generation
and use. The findings are significant because the economies considered
are anticipated to benefit from an energy transition to renewables
enabled by energy efficiency and environmental technology
breakthroughs. In the last section, the study provides relevant policy
implications to enrich the literature on the importance of technology
and its role in achieving carbon neutrality targets of emerging
economies.
