Energy is one of the essential inputs in production that due to inefficient and inappropriate use of its resources, its consumption has increased significantly. In this regard, the identification of factors affecting energy consumption in the provinces is important. This study aims to investigate the effect of urbanization on energy consumption in Iranian provinces. To do so, we used the STIRPAT model to design the econometric model. The spatial error econometric model in panel data was used to estimate the effect of urbanization on energy consumption in 28 Iranian provinces from 2002 to 2015. The results show that the relationship between urbanization and energy consumption is inverted U-shaped. This finding indicates that an increase in urbanization first causes to increase and then decreases energy consumption.

Energy intensity is an important indicator of energy consumption assessment and its reduction is one of the goals of policymakers and planners in countries. Developing effective policies to reduce energy intensity requires a thorough study of the factors that affect it. In this study, the effect of foreign direct investment on energy intensity convergence by Iranian provinces using spatial econometric technique and panel data of 30 provinces of the country from 2010 to 2015 was studied. After confirming the spatial dependence by Moran and Panel (robust) LM and LM tests, the absolute and conditional convergence of "β" has been tested. According to the results, the absolute convergence of energy intensity in the provinces of Iran was confirmed. This means that the rate of decrease in energy intensity in provinces with higher energy intensity is higher than the rate of decrease in energy intensity in provinces with lower energy intensity. To investigate the conditional convergence, the foreign direct investment variable was added to the model. The results indicate a conditional convergence of energy intensity in the provinces of Iran, as well as a decrease in energy intensity with an increase in foreign direct investment. In fact, foreign direct investment with the introduction of new production technology increases the efficiency of the use of production inputs such as energy, and this leads to the convergence of energy intensity among the provinces of Iran. The effects of the spillovers of foreign direct investment on the convergence of negative and meaningless energy intensity can be attributed to the low level of foreign direct investment attraction and its non-distribution at the provincial level. In general, the increase in foreign direct investment in a particular province causes the convergence of energy intensity and its spillovers effect potentially causes the convergence of energy intensity in the provinces of the country.

Today, in most countries, especially developing countries, economic growth is at the heart of planning. Since the place of economic activity is the environment, unfortunately, growth has had unfortunate consequences for the human environment. The main objective of this study is to measure the reduction of environmental pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions under policy-making scenarios compared to the reference scenario. The research method in this study is using the scenario analysis method based on Long Term Alternatives Planning Model (LEAP). The research findings show that by designing demand-side and supply-side management scenarios, meaning that replacing renewable energies and electricity in place of fossil fuels (crude oil and natural gas), reducing the amount of environmental pollutant emissions for the year 1420 (year horizon) 2014 (Year Zero Planning) is 123.5 million tonnes.

Energy has always played a very important role in human life and is one of the factors that can make economic growth possible. Today, many countries are struggling to invest in new technologies by using renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, or water energy as their needed sources of energy, which, as compared to fossil fuels, generate lower environmental pollution. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the economic growth of the selected countries of the MENA region from renewable energy sources using the Panel Vector Autoregressive Model in the period of 1990-2015. The results of the study showed that the variable of the total energy produced from renewable sources has the largest share in explaining the changes in the economic growth of the countries under study and its explanatory value reaches 56% in the long run. Given the significant impact of renewable energy consumption on economic growth, suitable policies for renewable energy are needed to achieve a high level of production and social welfare. In this regard, granting financial incentives, establishing a fund for renewable energy by the government, and creating conditions for developing the renewable energy industry in the country could be solutions
