摘要
The timely mitigation of the ever-increasing environmental damages induced by the use of fossil fuels created demands by dismissing the activities that irreversibly affect the environment(Kartal et al.,2023;Pata et al.,2023).In addition,there is also a need to encourage and persuade activities that generate low carbon dioxide(CO_(2))emissions and allow for sustainable development.To achieve sustainable development goals(SDGs)and comply with the Paris Agreement's goals and statements,which aim to limit global warming to 1.5 ℃ and demand net-zero emissions by 2050,an alternative to fossil fuels and CO_(2)-emitting power plants is needed(Kartal et al.,2024).This alternative means relying on clean,green,and renewable energy that will eventually con-tribute to a zero-carbon footprint.These kinds of energy include energy produced by hydro,solar,wind,biomass,biofuels,and geothermal production capacities,along with the future of nuclear fusion(Ozcan et al.,2024).However,since not all of these forms of energy have reached their technological maturity and cost-effectiveness status,therefore policymaking institutions should initiate,develop,and align the policies in supporting the production and distribution of green energy.
