The Environmental Kuznets Curve and Renewable Energy Consumption: A Review

Renewable Energy Consumption (REC) would reduce pollution and a large pool of literature has probed the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) including REC in panel or country-specific model. The present study reviewed 69 empirical studies found that 57 out validated EKC but 12 did not confirm EKC. Out these, 64 reduced emissions. In analyses, 18 25 24 substantiated studies, 39 44 40 Comparatively, reported more evidence compared to studies. However, positive environmental effect REC. results logistic regression show chance validity is 4.82 times if emissions Thus, future on testing should include comparison, carry confirmation than
