The Contribution of Renewable Energy

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2025 im Fachbereich BWL - Wirtschaftspolitik, Note: Final year, University of Nigeria (Bauchi State University), Veranstaltung: Economics, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nigeria faces a critical paradox of abundant fossil fuel reserves yet persistent energy poverty and unreliable electricity supply that undermine economic growth. Despite vast renewable energy potential, adoption has remained limited due to financial,
infrastructural, and policy barriers. This study empirically examines the contribution of renewable energy adoption to Nigeria's sustainable economic growth from 1990 to 2023, applying the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. The research
pursued four objectives: to assess the effect of renewable energy's share in total final consumption and installed capacity on real GDP growth; to evaluate the impact of macroeconomic variables such as foreign direct investment (FDI), population growth, energy use per capita, and inflation on growth; and to identify the key policy and institutional challenges influencing renewable energy adoption.

The study addresses gaps in previous literature, which often relied on dated data, aggregated energy sources, or neglected macroeconomic and policy determinants. Findings indicate a significant long-run positive relationship between renewable energy adoption and GDP growth, though short-run effects remain modest due to high capital costs and infrastructural weaknesses. FDI and energy consumption per capita exert positive effects on growth, while inflation undermines stability and investment. The study recommends expanding renewable infrastructure through blended finance, ensuring policy consistency to attract private capital, upgrading grid and off-grid systems, and fostering vocational training for a skilled green workforce. Strengthening governance and reducing regulatory barriers will be critical to realizing Nigeria's Energy Transition Plan and meeting climate commitments while driving inclusive economic growth.

What if climate change isn't an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge? 'Fascinating' JAMES O'BRIEN 'Thrilling...vividly written, filled with fascinating facts, and inspiring' STEVEN PINKER Sunday Times, i Paper and Nature Book of the Year This visionary book urges us to rethink the path to net zero, arguing that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power. Dr Tim Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables are completely 'green', and debunks myths surrounding waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy. He calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's Apollo programme, making the bold case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future. *Updated with a new Introduction* 'I challenge you to read this book and not be excited about how we get on and power the world with sustainable energy for the next century' HANNAH RITCHIE 'A bold reframing of one of the most misunderstood technologies of the modern age ... This book stands out for its capacity to disarm' LITERARY REVIEW 'So interesting ... it'll answer all our questions' JEREMY VINE

The expanded group of BRICS nations informally known as BRICS+ encompasses of both established members and the new additions nations which includes Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These BRICS+ nations stand at the cusp of unparalleled growth and economic expansion. BRICS+ contributes significantly to global primary energy production, accounting for 48% of the sector.This book emphasizes the significance of energy for growth and sustainability, highlighting the role of BRICS+ nations in enhancing global energy resilience. This resilience could be achieved through collaborations, policy strategies, and economic implications, calling attention to energy trading free from sanctions. Further, it embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the dynamic landscape inhabited by the BRICS+ nations, a collective that includes established BRICS+ countries as well as new members. At its core, the narrative confronts the looming spectre of structural shocks, with a keen focus on the energy sector, and the profound implications these disruptions pose for the economic potential of these nations. What sets this work apart is its emphasis on the vulnerabilities of the BRICS+ nations, characterized by fiscally fragile economies heavily reliant on imported energy. It delves into the international externalities that make these nations susceptible, compounded by their geological predisposition to volatility. The book charts a course for change, proposing a systematic departure from these disruptions through academic insights and elaborations, laying the foundation for sustained and successful growth.As such, it will be a useful guide for academics, students, researchers and policymakers concerned with the discourse on sustainability and resilience in BRICS+ nations, paving the way for a more informed and innovative approach to the challenges faced by these nations in the interconnected global landscape.

"Weiwei Chen successfully unpacks how Chinese manufacturing investment in Ethiopia becomes realised in everyday ways. Using unparalleled qualitative data collected over a decade this path-breaking book greatly enriches the still polarised and generalised accounts of ‘China in Africa’." –&nbsp;Professor Giles Mohan, The Open University"You will likely have formed a view about ‘China in Africa’, one way or the other. But one way or the other is exactly what Weiwei Chen’s wonderful book helps you to abandon: there are multiple ways, great variation in the performance of Chinese manufacturing firms in Africa. Her brilliant, decade-long fieldwork in Ethiopia helps make sense of this variation." –&nbsp; Professor Christopher Cramer,&nbsp;SOAS University of LondonThis book explores the diverse nature of Chinese manufacturing activity in Ethiopia and highlights how investments can be guided by local political economy conditions. It examines the economic potential of foreign direct investment and its role in facilitating structural change within African economies. The approaches taken by Ethiopia to steer investment towards development objectives are compared with global trends of industrial relocation and corporate adaptation to illustrate how foreign direct investment can benefit both China and African countries. Ethiopia’s proactive industrial policies are highlighted to show that African states can leverage Chinese manufacturing capital to enable industrial development and economic growth.This book provides unique detail into the specific strategies used in Ethiopia to maximise foreign development and drive economic development. It will be relevant to students, researchers and policymakers interested in development economics, industrial policy, and the international political economy.Weiwei Chen

This book applies a contract-governance theory to the implementation of decarbonisation objectives in the international maritime sector.


In doing so, it provides an overview of how the network of contractual relationships that characterise commercial shipping can become effective sites of collaboration between shipping actors to improve upon energy efficiency and CO2 reduction.

To achieve this aim, the book investigates and develops a set of contractual tools that can enable private actors to strengthen their commitments to net-zero targets (whether state-mandated or voluntary) and develop cooperative norms to guide decision-making and contractual interpretation. These mechanisms include contractual clauses and drafting considerations which can secure a desired outcome for contractual performance, thereby managing climate risks and providing adequate remedy where such risks materialise. 

In a transnational sector such as shipping, where contracts can exert greater influence on corporate decarbonisation efforts than international regulation, the book challenges the traditional limitations of contract law and calls for a deeper integration of green principles into private relationships.

The Mining Rush in the 21st Century: Dynamics and Outlooks for 2050 is a geopolitical analysis that explains how the global energy transition and the digital revolution are creating massive demand for strategic metals such as lithium and cobalt, forcing humanity to extract more resources in 25 years than in its entire history to combat global warming, while highlighting the risks of dependence, environmental challenges and opportunities for Africa. The book covers a broad spectrum, from the urgency of time - with a critical window of action closing in 2032 - to the vulnerabilities of supply chains, dominated by China (85% of rare earths) and the DRC (70% of cobalt). It highlights the paradox of the green transition: to save the planet from global warming, metals must be extracted on a massive scale, posing colossal technical, environmental, social and ethical challenges. The scope extends to technological innovation (AI in prospecting, seabed mining), Africa's pivotal role in sustainable development beyond the colonial extractive model, and projections up to 2050. Aimed at a diverse audience - researchers, students, decision-makers, NGOs - the book includes more than 50 graphs, case studies (e.g. scandals in the DRC), expert boxes and a glossary for accessibility. It stands out for its holistic approach, combining field expertise, quantitative data (IEA, USGS) and concrete solutions for responsible governance, bridging the gap between geopolitical and technical analyses. It also anticipates post-2025 trends to guide the securing of global supplies.

“Yellowstone meets Matlock” (Tom Clavin) in this dazzling tale of land lust and the American West, chronicling the rise and fall of a wind farm that triggers a 21st century range war between a struggling fifth-generation rancher and the billionaires next door. Most locals in Big Timber, Montana, learn to live with the wind. Rick Jarrett sought his fortune in it. Like his pioneer ancestors who staked their claims in the Treasure State, he believed in his right to make a living off the land—and its most precious resource, million-dollar wind. Trouble was, Jarrett’s neighbors were some of the wealthiest and most influential men in America, trophy ranchers who’d come west to enjoy magnificent mountain views, not stare at five-hundred-foot wind turbines. So began an epic showdown that would pull in an ever-widening cast of characters, including a Texas oil and gas tycoon, a roguish wind prospector, a Crow activist fighting for his tribe’s rights to the mountains they hold sacred, and an Olympic athlete-turned-attorney whose path to redemption would lead to Jarrett’s wind farm. A wildly entertaining yarn, the brawl over Crazy Mountain Wind would become a fight over the values that define us as Americans, even as the most coveted rangeland in the West was threatened by forces more powerful than anything one man could muster: record drought, raging wildfires, dwindling snowpack. “An epic tale of greed and resilience,” The Crazies “has the power to leave you feeling walloped, whip-sawed, and wildly invigorated, all within the same breath” (Kevin Fedarko, New York Times bestselling author of A Walk in the Park). It’s an exquisitely reported, ruggedly beautiful western for a warming planet—and a bighearted inquiry into how you can love a place so much you risk destroying it.

Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics

This book explores the complex relationship between climate change and human behaviour, which is often shaped by cognitive biases, established norms, past experiences, and a tendency toward maintaining the status quo-making meaningful change challenging. It brings together a diverse range of contributions that examine international and industry contexts through the lens of behavioural economics, addressing persistent intention-action gap.The book is divided into three parts. Part I introduces the theoretical foundations and traces the evolution of scientific thought from classical rationality to bounded rationality and ethicality in the context of climate change. It includes a systematic bibliometric mapping of global research trends and examines the crucial role of information flows, media literacy, and disinformation in shaping climate attitudes. Part II focuses on climate change mitigation, presenting empirical studies on energy transitions, fossil fuel "addiction," and circular economy interventions specifically targeting the consumption patterns of adolescents and young adults. Part III addresses spatial and community adaptation, exploring mobility patterns, nature-based solutions in European cities, and the management of private green spaces. It concludes with global perspectives on climate migration narratives and the collective resilience of Small Island Developing States (SIDS).By offering a comprehensive and interdisciplinary look at human behaviour in the face of climate change, the book integrates advanced methods such as discrete choice experiments, social network analysis, and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) which inspires further research and action in this ever-evolving field. It is essential reading for academics, researchers, students, as well as economists, environmentalists and policymakers concerned with the economic and psychological dimensions of climate-related decision-making.
