Authors: Moreno Rocha Christian Manuel , Pertuz Ortiz Jorge D. , Rodriguez Ibanez Neyder A.
Published: July 2023

Colombia is a country that is characterized by having potential in many renewable and sustainable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, etc., in this country the growth value of renewable energy (ER) has not yet reached a benchmark, this due to the existence of several barriers or limitations that have hindered the path of research and implementation. It is difficult to identify and prioritize the impact of these barriers that mostly hinder growth or improvement in the quality of life of a specific population. For this research, a systematic structure has been developed to identify and prioritize the barriers and manage to find a solution path to the aforementioned. This study aims to recognize and classify the barriers according to their impact on the development of renewable energy technologies, as well as demonstrate the non-relationship that may exist between a territory rich in energy potential and the good quality of life of its inhabitants, the study consists of four phases; (1) A study area was taken for its characterization in renewable energy potential and compared with the current quality of its inhabitants, (2) The barriers were recognized from the available literature studies, project reports and interactions with 6 experts from academia and industries, (3) for the final selection, the FAHP decision method was used, then, 24 were selected and classified into five groups: social and economic barriers, political and, administrative and market barriers and geographical and environmental barriers and (4) the FAHP method was used to obtain the priority weight and the hierarchy between these barriers. The results showed first that there is no relationship indicating that a potential area in renewable energy source has a positive impact on people's quality of life, also that politics and political barriers occupies the first place among the main barriers, besides that corruption and nepotism is the most relevant sub-criterion according to the experts’ results. Sensitivity analysis is used to confirm the stability of all prioritized barriers.

Authors: Hlongwane Nyiko Worship , Daw Olebogeng David
Published: July 2023

This study assesses the possibility of Kusile and Medupi power plants with providing enough electricity to the South African economy when generating at full capacity. The study utilised time series data spanning from 1980 to 2021 collected from secondary sources such as the International Energy Agency and the World Bank. The study employed DF-GLS and PP unit root tests, ARDL Bounds test, ARDL ECM model and Granger causality tests to assess the possibility. The results revealed that there is a positive relationship between electricity generation, economic growth, and population growth on electricity consumption while electricity loss and trade openness were negatively related to electricity consumption. The granger causality results revealed unidirectional causality running from electricity consumption to economic growth and from trade openness to electricity consumption. The study recommended that Eskom and South African government should speed up the completion of Medupi and Kusile power plants, limit electricity loss and investing in new electricity infrastructure to match the gap between demand and supply and limit loadshedding in South Africa.
Environmental Kuznets Curve Model for the United States: A Consideration of Foreign Direct Investment Variable
Authors: Bunnag Tanattrin
Published: July 2023

This paper analyzes the causal link between CO2 emission, energy consumption, GDP, the square of GDP, and foreign direct investment in the Environmental Kuznets Curve for the United States from 1979-2021. Three steps are used: bound tests to verify the presence of cointegration,  autoregressive distributed lag  (ARDL) model to check the effects of the dependent variables on the independent variable in the short run and long run, and finally, the vector error correction (VECM)  was used the detect the causal relationships among variables. We found that the coefficients of energy consumption and foreign direct investments variables were significant at the 10% level. The variables GDP and GDP2 were found to be insignificant. Energy consumption positively impacts CO2 emissions, while FDI negatively influences CO2 emissions. In addition, in causal analysis, it is found that GDP and GDP2 indirectly affect CO2 emissions. GDP and GDP2 impact energy consumption and FDI; later, FDI was passed through CO2 emission. Finally, the federal government should accelerate investment policies, tax credits, regulatory actions, state policies, research and development, and market trends to drive significant renewable deployment.

Authors: Wahyudi Heru , Lestasi Winda Rika , Septiyanti Ratna , Palupi Widia Anggi
Published: July 2023

Oil is one of the vital energy sources in a country. Indonesia is one of the countries that was once the world's primary leading producer but is currently threatened with an oil deficit. This condition certainly requires the right strategy and policy so that Indonesia can meet its domestic oil needs. This study aims to forecast Indonesia's oil consumption and production for 2022-2026 using past data from 1980-2021. This study used the Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model, where several alternative models were produced in forecasting oil consumption, namely ARIMA (2, 1, 2), (2, 1, 16), (15, 1, 2), and (15, 1, 16) and also alternative models of oil production, namely ARIMA (3, 1, 9), (3, 1, 11), (13, 1, 9), and (13, 1, 11). Based on several alternative models, the best models for forecasting oil consumption and oil production are (2, 1, 16) and (3, 1, 9), respectively. From the results of this study, it is reduced that Indonesia's oil consumption is far above oil production. This, if left unchecked, can negatively affect the country's economy. Thus, research can be used as a reference for policy-making related to fulfilling oil consumption and increasing oil production in Indonesia.
Public Utilities’ Corporate Growth and Environmental Conservation: Evidence from Japan
Authors: Tsujimoto Masao
Published: July 2023

This study explores how public utilities in Japan demonstrate the achievement of both growth and environmental conservation, by using financial performance and environmental impact data from publicly traded companies of power, gas, transport, telecommunication, and postal services before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. First, the regression analyses confirm the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis and an inverted N-shaped curve in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Second, the deciding factors are the result of the interaction of the following five points, which have been more encouraged and promoted in Japan in recent years: (1) regulatory reforms such as energy market opening; (2) investors’ emphasis on environment, society, and governance (ESG); (3) guidelines and assessments by economic organizations, rating agencies, and environmental nonprofit groups; (4) citizens’ professional ethics and willingness for environmental conservation and social contribution; and (5) endogenous efforts by the public utilities as members of society. Third, an approach that focuses on ESG and total shareholders return (TSR) can contribute not only to the achievement of both growth and environmental conservation but also to the expansion of the academic literature.
Midstream Supply Chain Infrastructure Facilities and Optimization Opportunities for Emerging LNG Markets
Authors: El Ghazi Firdaous , Lechheb Charafeddine , Kaitouni Omar Drissi
Published: July 2023

Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) is a major energy market experiencing significant supply chain evolution. Supply terms are progressively changing from long-term and binding contracts to shorter-term and flexible clauses, taking into consideration demand uncertainties. This context is making heavy investments in the LNG infrastructure risky, costly, and irreversible. The focus is shifting towards small-scale midstream facilities to develop small-size markets. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the LNG supply chain from an infrastructure investment approach based on market size and recent technological developments in the field. It addresses the limitations of the classic conducted supply chain and investigates best practices adapted to emerging markets. If properly executed, these logistics alternatives enable emerging markets to access LNG in a short period with lower investment. The objective is to maximize added value while minimizing cost and operational risks. This work suggests an alternative supply chain process replacing onshore terminals and pipeline delivery by Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FRSU) and truck delivery in the midstream market. A SWOT analysis is conducted for the alternative supply chain model, showcasing the strengths and weaknesses alongside opportunities and threats. The result and discussion section develop the main aspects of strategic and operational supply chain decision-making for LNG to find new developing opportunities and faster growth.

Authors: Wangjiraniran Weerin , Pongthanaisawan Jakapong , Nakapreech Nitida
Published: July 2023

The assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation technologies creates a knowledge database to support a national strategy to meet Thailand’s GHG emission reduction target. Such a database also makes important contributions to the formulation of research policy and the country’s broader technological development. Thailand needs a strong technological base in order to meet its national policy targets and international obligations for reducing GHG emissions, as well as to reduce the negative effects of economic activity on society and the environment and to create additional value. The goal of this study is to prioritize energy technologies so that Thailand can achieve its carbon neutrality goal by the year 2050. Multi-criteria decision making is applied with quantitative data on GHG mitigation options. Decisions are made based on the technology’s readiness and level of its impact on economic, social and environmental development. Critical issues representing needs and barriers for selected key technologies are analyzed. The results indicate that solar energy and electric vehicle are selected as having the highest priority, followed by energy efficiency and other renewable energy sources. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), green hydrogen, and carbon sinks are the last choices with high uncertainty about commercialization.

Published: July 2023

This article's major goal is to pinpoint the variables that affect the capital structure and financial viability of the oil and gas sector in the regions that make up the Eurasian Economic Union. Data on oil and gas businesses in the Eurasian Union from 2012 to 2020 were gathered using the Orbis Database. All currently operating businesses with recent financial data were painstakingly obtained. 2,757 businesses with pertinent financial data in total were gathered. It includes a broad variety of oil and gas firms that have so far been the subject of inquiry. The results show that firm-specific factors are very important in determining the financial viability of oil and gas enterprises in the EUEA regions. For instance, both size and tax policy matter in driving the financial sustainability and leverage of companies. Furthermore, in contrast to CAPSTR, the oil price has had an enormous positive impact on the financial sustainability of oil and gas companies in EAEU regions. The results illustrate that ESG factors substantially affect financial sustainability in a negative way. The results show that oil and gas businesses use cutting-edge, environmentally friendly technologies in accordance with ESG Public Policy. Managers should continue to improve their strategies based on the growth of their businesses by utilizing new cutting-edge environmentally friendly technologies that will be suitable for stringent ESG Public Policy regulations. Overall results indicate that managers and practitioners should work on new strategies for expansion and penetration into the new markets in the EUEA regions.

Central Heating Policy and Population Migration in China: An Empirical Study
Authors: Gao Yannan , Sampattavanija San
Published: July 2023

The Huai River policy divides the country into the areas with and without central heating. This paper first determines the location of the south-north central heating borderline in China based on the Huai River policy, and then studies the differences in population migration between the north and the south. It proposes three factors that influence people’s decision to migrate through district heating: heating costs, indoor living conditions, and outdoor air quality. Through the analysis of the county-level data in China, the following three basic conclusions are drawn: first, based on the estimation of the total sample, the total effect of central heating on population in-migration is negative; Second, central heating positively impacts in-migration in wealthier counties, while the impact is negative in less-developed counties. Third, the heating boundary policy affects population migration via air pollution. However, air pollution is not the decisive factor.

Sustainable development has become a crucial goal for policymakers worldwide, with technological progress playing a significant role in achieving this objective. Jordan, a developing country in the Middle East, has been working towards the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by leveraging technology to promote economic growth while preserving the environment. In this study, we evaluate the impact of technological improvements on SDGs in Jordan by analyzing the relationship between financial development, energy consumption, and economic growth. The analysis covers the period from 1970 to 2021 and employs three econometric techniques, namely the Lee and Strazicich (2013) second-generation econometric approach, the novel Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag (AARDL) model, and Frequency Domain Causality (FDC) analysis. The results indicate a positive and significant association between financial development, energy use, and economic growth, with financial development having the strongest impact. Moreover, technological progress plays a crucial role in achieving SDGs by positively affecting financial development, energy consumption, and economic growth. This study highlights the importance of leveraging technology to promote sustainable development and provides valuable insights for policymakers in Jordan and other developing countries.

Authors: Sommeng Andy Noorsaman , Usman Usman , Kurnianto Jonathan
Published: July 2023

The conversion of existing diesel-fuel power plants in remote areas of Indonesia to gas is a practical solution for the reduction of carbon emissions. However, the transportation of natural gas from its sources to plant gates across the vast and dispersed islands of the Indonesian archipelago using small-scale Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) poses challenges in terms of economics and investment risks. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the techno-economic risks of converting diesel power plants spread across the Nusa Tenggara region to gas with acceptable prices. The real options method is applied to perform the economic evaluation based on a proposed cost-effective LNG distribution scheme. The gas demand from eight power plants with a total capacity of 347 MW across the region is 9,176 BBTU annually. The profitability analysis is carried out using Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Payback Period (PBP), and Profitability Index (PI) values showing USD 56,876,674, 15.3%, 7.25 years, and 1.48, respectively. The risk analysis using the real options method suggests that the investment risk is lower if the program starts in the first year with 20 years of operation. The use of gas lowers the cost of generation per kilowatt-hour and reduces carbon emissions compared to diesel-fueled power plants.
The Effect of US Shale Oil Production on Local and International Oil Markets
Authors: Rodhan Maitham A.
Published: July 2023

US shale oil has created dramatic changes in international oil markets. The United States became the world's biggest producer of crude oil after it overtook Saudi Arabia and Russia and then returned to exporting crude oil after a stop that lasted more than four decades. Its imports of crude oil decreased significantly. US shale oil had a remarkable impact on the structure of international crude oil trade; Other producers, including OPEC, were affected by the decline in their shares in the global oil market and the decline in their financial revenues. Technological development has played an essential role in the success of US shale oil by reducing costs and increasing economic feasibility. Therefore, US shale oil is no longer highly sensitive to lower oil prices, as it was before. Furthermore, the continuous increase in crude oil prices from $24.4 per barrel in 2001 to $97 and $111.6 in 2008 and 2012, respectively, was enough to make shale oil production economically profitable. Now, the United States plays an essential role in the global oil market, as the largest consumer and producer and, behind China, the second largest importer. Shale oil is expected to play a growing role in the US oil sector and the global oil industry in the future.

Authors: Zeiri Rihem , Bouzir Aida , Mbarek Mohamed Hédi Benhadj , Benammou Saloua
Published: July 2023

The objective of this paper is to study the effect of economic growth and pollution on health expenditure in G7 countries, during the 1990-2020. In order to obtain a reliable estimate, we adopt the partial least squares (PLS) regression method, which focuses on three explanatory indicators (GDP, CO2, MR) and health expenditure (HE), as a dependent variable. The obtained empirical results reveal several important elements. First, all the models are significant, with the exception of Canada. Then, all countries have verified the economic theory that GDP positively affects HE. Then, we observe negative effects of CO2 emissions on HE, except in Japan. Finally, France, Italy, the United States and the United Kingdom have negative effects of MR on HE.
Industry Stakeholders Perspectives on Assessing the Effect of Government Policy on Renewable Energy Investment in China
Authors: Zhu Yingfeng
Published: July 2023

This study examined the relationships between government policy initiatives, availability and accessibility of financing mechanisms for renewable energy projects, stakeholder engagement in renewable energy projects, and investment in renewable energy projects in China using structural equation modeling. A representative sample of 400 respondents participated in the study, and the data was analyzed using regression weights and hypothesis testing. The results indicated that the hypothesized paths were supported, with the exception of the relationship between stakeholder engagement in renewable energy projects and investment in renewable energy projects in China, which lacked statistical significance. The results suggest that other variables or factors may influence the relationship between stakeholder engagement and investment in renewable energy projects in China, or that the relationship is not significant. The study's limitations include omitted variable bias and the cross-sectional nature of the data, which prevents the establishment of causal relationships between the variables. In spite of these limitations, the findings have practical implications for stakeholders and policymakers, such as implementing targeted interventions or policies that capitalize on the significant relationships between the variables to improve the outcomes of renewable energy projects. The findings also provide a basis for future research in this area, such as investigating the mechanisms through which the relationships between the variables operate, examining potential moderating or mediating variables, or examining the relationships in different populations or settings. Overall, the study contributes to the comprehension of the relationships between government policy initiatives, the availability and accessibility of financing mechanisms for renewable energy projects, stakeholder engagement in renewable energy projects, and investment in renewable energy projects in China.

Published: July 2023

Energy is considered as a critical factor for supporting Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries’ economic growth. However, little is known about OECD-based energy firms’ capital structure determinants. Hence, this investigation is an effort to explore the capital structure determinants for OECD countries’ energy firms. In this context, 18 key OECD countries 43 energy firms are selected. The balanced panel data sample set of 14 years from 2007 to 2020 is constructed to perform empirical analysis. The eight selected determinants, which are tangibility, current ratio, non-debt tax shield, return on equity, annual gross domestic product, inflation, and energy consumption are examined in association with capital structure that is measured by debt-to-asset ratio. By engaging a Panel Data Static Model and Dynamic Model via Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), the outcomes expose that tangibility, profitability, gross domestic product, energy consumption, and lagged dependent variable are the key capital structure determinants for energy firms of OECD countries. Notably, the significant role of a lagged dependent variable specifies the existence of a dynamic capital structure and speed of adjustment for these firms. Also, the significant role of tangibility directly indicates the relevance of the Dynamic Trade-Off theory. The findings pave new ways for policymakers to develop similar policies that will enhance collaboration in OECD countries to knob forth seeing energy-connected issues. Likewise, the identification of key determinants will also be helpful for these firms to construct best mix of debt and equity that ultimately enhance their financial performance and market value.

Authors: Zaidi Abdelhamid , Ajibade Samuel-Soma M. , Musa Majd , Bekun Festus Victor
Published: July 2023

Humanity’s quest for safe, resilient, and liveable cities has prompted research into the application of computational tools in the design and development of sustainable smart cities. Thus, the application of artificial intelligence in sustainable smart cities (AISC) has become an important research field with numerous publications, citations, and collaborations. However, scholarly works on publication trends and the research landscape on AISC remain lacking. Therefore, this paper examines the current status and future directions of AISC research. The PRISMA approach was selected to identify, screen, and analyse 1,982 publications on AISC from Scopus between 2011 and 2022. Results showed that the number of publications and citations rose from 2 to 470 and 157 to 1,540, respectively. Stakeholder productivity analysis showed that the most prolific author and affiliation are Tan Yigitcanlar (10 publications and 518 citations) and King Abdulaziz University (23 publications and 793 citations), respectively. Productivity was attributed to national interests, research priorities, and national or international funding. The largest funder of AISC research is the National Natural Science Foundation of China (126 publications or 6.357 percent of the total publications). Keyword co-occurrence and cluster analyses revealed 6 research hotspots on AISC: digital innovation and technologies; digital infrastructure and intelligent data systems; cognitive computing; smart sustainability; smart energy efficiency; nexus among artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, data analytics and smart cities. Future research would likely focus on the socio-economic, ethical, policy, and technical aspects of the topic.  It is envisaged that global scientific interest in AISC research and relevant publications, citations, products, and services will continue to rise in the future.

Serambi Indonesia is one of the major mass media in Aceh. Almost all information is reported by Serambi. Since its establishment in 1989 until now Serambi Indonesia has continued to experience developments in running its industry. Serambi Indonesia also publishes news that occurs around Aceh, the news that is revealed has gone through a selection process by the editor so that it becomes news that is suitable for public consumption. To get data on how Serambi Indonesia can survive between idealism and industry, researchers use descriptive research methods with a qualitative approach. The research technique is purposive sampling by conducting observations, interviews in obtaining data. Primary data is obtained from company leaders, advertising managers and journalists, while secondary data from various existing literature. The theory used in this research is management theory which is better known as POAC (planning, organizing, actuating, controlling). The results of the study found that Serambi carries a balanced concept between Industry and Idealism. Serambi Indonesia cannot impose or be too idealistic to maintain its industry. Because Serambi Indonesia has employees who depend on the company and capital owners who want the benefits of the capital provided.

Etika Hiburan dalam Perspektif Hadis: Analisis terhadap Aplikasi TikTok
Authors: Husna Arinal , Suparwany Suparwany , Roslaili Yuni
Published: July 2023

The TikTok application is an entertainment medium that allows its users to do freestyle, such as dance, lip sync, challenges, etc., which was once banned in Indonesia because it contained negative content. This study discusses the ethics of entertainment from a hadith perspective, with the main focus being the TikTok application media. This qualitative research is library research with a descriptive analysis approach. The theory used is thematic hadith theory. The thematic hadith method is carried out by tracing the hadiths using the lafadz "لَهْوٌ" and "لَعِب" and is limited to only the hadiths contained in the Polaris sittah book, while the criticism of sanad and matan is only carried out on one path and not on all tracks. Primary data sources include the books al-Kutub al-Sittah, Mu'jam al-Mufahras, Tahzib al-Kamal, and Syarah Hadith, while secondary sources include books, articles, and scientific writings about TikTok and entertainment, as well as Software Hadith Lidwa Pusaka and Maktabah Syamilah. The results of the study show that when viewed from the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, entertainment is permissible as long as it is in accordance with the ethics of entertainment, such as not being excessive and negligent, not contrary to Islamic law, and not arousing lust. The TikTok application has many negative uses, such as dancing with nakedness and tabarruj, which can arouse lust, singing or lip syncing accompanied by neglectful music, and using sentences that are not educational, as well as the many types of content that can make a person addicted and inattentive. Therefore, the author considers that this application is irrelevant to the hadiths of the Prophet regarding entertainment.
