Renewable energy resources are widely identified as a primary strategy for mitigating climate change by replacing fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as evidenced by [1], [2], [3], and [4]. Furthermore, policy frameworks and historical data demonstrate that the transition to renewable energy directly correlates with measurable decreases in greenhouse gas emissions, as noted in [5], [6], [7], and [8].

claimElectrification of industries and homes using renewable energy sources is a strategy to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, which currently originate from sectors including extraction/refining, power generation, transport, agriculture, industry, and residential use.
claimJaramillo-Nieves and Del Río (2010) state that renewable energy sources contribute to economic, social, and environmental sustainability by improving energy access, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and creating local socioeconomic development opportunities like job creation.
measurementBetween 1990 and 2012, greenhouse gas emissions in the 33 member countries of the European Environmental Agency (EEA) decreased by 14%, while greenhouse gas emissions per capita declined by 22% due to increased use of renewable energy.
claimJefferson (2000) and Colla et al. (2020) identify the decarbonization of grid electricity through low-carbon and renewable sources as a viable option for the energy transition, given that electricity generation is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions.
claimSustainable energy reduces dependence on fossil fuels and increases the use of renewable energy sources, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
measurementThe United States experienced a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions between 2006 and 2014 due to the increased use of renewable energy.
claimLiu (2014) identifies renewable energy sources as the primary solution for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and environmental pollution.
claimRenewable and low carbon energy sources improve power supply, enhance long-term access and utility in energy production, decrease dependence on fossil fuels, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to Rathor and Saxena (2020a) and Nguyen et al. (2020).
