Green Taxation Tools Transition to Renewable Energy – | Iranian and world news

According to the University of Tehran, Ehsan Rasoulinejad, a member of the Faculty of Studies of the University of Tehran, conducted a research on the impact of environmental taxes on sustainable energy imports in twenty developing economies over a period of 1 to 2, which indicates a negative and significant impact of green taxes on imports. It reduces the dependence on imports.

Rasulinejad, published in the reputable journal Resources Policy, examined the impact of environmental taxes on sustainable energy imports in twenty developing economies, using the advanced econometric methods to analyze the relationship between green taxes and other key variables with imports of green energy equipment.

Explaining the main importance and findings of this article, he outlined the importance of the research gap, the importance of politics and the multifaceted approach, adding: “Most of the previous studies on green taxes and sustainable energy have focused on developed countries. This article, focusing on developing countries, fills an important gap in the subject literature. “The findings of this article can also help policymakers design efficient tax tools to accelerate the transition to renewable energy.”

Rasoolinejad also explained the multifaceted approach of the study, “The present study has not only been sufficient to examine green taxes, but also analyzes the role of other variables such as exchange rates, innovation, renewable energy consumption and poverty.”

A member of the Faculty of World Studies of the University of Tehran, one of the central findings of the research, described the negative and significant impact of green taxes on the import of green energy equipment, saying: “The negative coefficient (1-2) shows that increasing green tax revenues, instead of encouraging imports, reduces imports as a strong driving force. “This phenomenon can be explained that the implementation of these taxes increases the costs of using pollutant energy for firms and consumers and lead them to invest and utilize indigenous and sustainable solutions.”

“On the contrary, the official exchange rate has a positive impact on the import of green energy equipment,” he said. Positive coefficient (0.8) indicates that in the countries under study, the increase in the exchange rate (the devaluation of the national currency) makes the import of green energy equipment more affordable and thus increase the volume of imports.

Positive coefficient (0.8) for the variable of patent requests (as a proxies of innovation) shows that technological advances in the field of renewable energy, even in developing countries, diversify accessible technologies and increase demand for new and more efficient types of equipment. “This illustrates the direct relationship between the internal capability in the field of innovation and deepening the integration in the green energy supply chain.”

The results of this study also show that the amount of internal commitment to clean energy, which is measured by the index of renewable energy consumption, is directly related to imports. Positive coefficient (1.2) shows that countries that provide more of their energy consumption from renewable resources need to import more advanced technologies and components to maintain and accelerate this process.

The finding confirms that the transition of energy is a gradual, technological -dependent process that, in its early stages, even committed countries may rely somewhat on imports.

This research refers to poverty as an important obstacle to an important social economy. The negative coefficient (0.8) for the ratio of poverty clearly shows that countries with higher levels of poverty, despite the urgent need for clean and low-cost energy, are faced with major challenges in import and exploitation of green energy technologies due to financial and infrastructure constraints. This finding emphasizes the need to design targeted and auxiliary policies to overcome the poverty gap and facilitate access to sustainable energy.

The findings of this study show that green taxes can act as an effective tool for encouraging domestic development of renewable energy, but other factors such as innovation, exchange rate stability and poverty reduction must also be considered. The study also emphasizes the need to design comprehensive policies, including tax incentives, green financial development, regional agreements and attracting private investment to achieve sustainable energy goals in developing countries. This article is not only reliable in terms of methodology, but it also has important practical applications and can be cited as a reference for future research in the field of environmental and energy economics.
