Tóm tắt

This study explores the relationship between sustainable economic growth in ASEAN's industrial and agricultural sectors and energy transformation (2005–2021). Using the Cross-Sectionally Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) approach, it uncovers the positive impact of green economic growth on reducing fossil fuel consumption. Discrepancies are influenced by sector size, technological accessibility, and strategy complexity. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development shows dual effects on consumption: an initial increase in the short term and a subsequent decrease in the long term. Conversely, the influence of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and patent applications is constrained by the absence of green patent mechanisms and economic intricacies. The poverty ratio acts as a diminishing factor, reflecting its impact on demand–supply dynamics. Recommendations for ASEAN's energy transformation include digital sector evolution, green tech investments, regional green education, robust green finance, uniform emission taxation, and enhanced regional cooperation, collectively guiding the region toward sustainable energy and economic progress.
