The pandemic scenario caused by Covid-19 generated negative impacts. Covid-19 has made it clear that our daily lives depend to a high degree on access to energy. Therefore, now more than ever, it is necessary to promote new activities such as local food production, but also local energy capture. This article is an attempt to expose and quantify the benefits of a renewable energy transition in Ecuador post Covid-19 and post-oil. The generation, consumption, and reserves of oil in Ecuador were characterized, and the concept of energy transition was applied to evaluate the possibilities of integration of renewables, the progressive exit of thermal power plants, and future energy strategies. The year 2015 was taken as a basis and it was determined that energy use was 154.0 TWh / year, which corresponds to an end-user of approximately 147 TWh / year. The objective was to reduce this end-use demand to 80.0 TWh/year by 2055 through the integration of renewables and energy efficiency, for which 5 transition phases were planned until a 100% renewable system was obtained. It is concluded that the energy transition in Ecuador is technically possible and economically viable, without giving up the energy well-being that we currently enjoy. However, results show that even 100% renewable is not enough to face climate change.

As COVID-19 has propagated well-known, governments have taken nationwide moderation to restrain it, from regulations to moves toward off the economization as a whole. Know-how its outcome is imperative to help larger policies for nations that are not but preponderant or in the outcome of a succeeding epidemic. Here we demonstrated that the aggregated conquest in electricity decay in the five-month sequential homestay management became among 3% and 12% in most affected European and Asia countries; besides, Florida, which has not proven any continuous variation. For the reason that Italy, France, Spain, China, and India got greater fundamental damage through the limit of July, especially Britain and Germany are under the baseline. We also showed that the connection between severity and the curtailment of covid-19 based electricity decay is not linear. Those findings showed the extremity of the disaster in different nations and could further look at the upcoming, similar global crisis.

As the world’s seventeenth-largest economy and a significant exporter of fossil fuels, the choice of future energy paths and policies that Iran will pursue over the next three decades will have a considerable impact on global energy security as a whole. Especially the eastern region. This article describes the current situation and recent trends in Iran’s energy sector, including demand and supply-side fuel sector. This paper discusses the state of current energy policy in Iran, focusing on changing the situation, developing and deploying renewable energy, liberalizing energy markets, and developing Iran’s energy sector. In the final part of the article, discussed Iran Long Range Alternative Energy Planning Software System dataset, several alternative energy paths for Iran’s energy demand side, emphasize alternative pathways to diversify energy and power. The expansion of GHG emissions and emissions reductions and the Iranian economy’s oil dependence is less - and address Iran’s current energy policy issues, as reflected in inputs and modeling results.

Coal is one of the main primary energy resources in South Africa. This energy carrier is also one of the primary indicators in the energy security of the country. This paper is aimed to examine coal consumption and environmental sustainability in South Africa by examining the role of financial development and globalization phenomena using a data set gathered from 1980 to 2017. Based on this paper’s scope, ARDL Bounds, Bavaria, and the combined Hank, FMOLS, DOLS, and frequency domain tests of the causality test are used. Bayer and Hank integration tests and ARDL constraints (with Kripfganz and Schneider’s approximations) showed a common integration between this set. Findings based on ARDL short-term and long-term estimates present that economic development improves environment preservation, while economic growth and coal consumption increased environmental degradation. The frequency-domain causality test results showed that coal consumption and financial development significantly determine the environment’s stability at different frequencies.
