Abstract

Subsidies for fossil fuels are one of the major financial barriers to the shift to renewable energy in the world. A sustainable and safe world is based on renewable energy, which is derived from natural resources that are abundant and continuously replenished. This study investigates the impact of natural resources on renewable energy consumption in N-11 countries. It moderates the roles of economic growth, stock market capitalization, and technology from 1990 to 2020. This study involves the development of an empirical analysis, the application of advanced econometric methodologies, and the development of a comprehensive policy report. Technology and the stock market are negatively related to renewable energy consumption in the short and long run. There is a positive relationship between natural resources and renewable energy consumption both in the short and long term. A positive relationship exists between economic growth and renewable energy consumption over the long term. Energy policies must be clear, robust, transparent, supported by public support, and backed up by modern energy transmission systems implanted in N-11 countries to accelerate wind and solar energy adoption. In addition to reducing emissions, shifting subsidies to renewable energy supports sustainable economic growth, job creation, improved public health, and greater equity is recommended. Study limitations and direction for future research discussed.
