This study relies on a number of panel data estimation methods such as OLS, fixed effects regression and cointegration techniques. Across all estimations with find that renewable energy decreases CO2 emissions even after controlling for economic growth and trade openness. In addition, the results from Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) suggest that there is unidirectional causality from renewable energy to CO2 emissions in our sample. This study offer a number of policy implications and avenues for future research.
