A new policy model for renewable energy development

This study is based on the premise that different countries, according to their political conditions, geographical location, financial and economic status, and other related factors, develop and implement appropriate policies to advance renewable energy within their own borders. Accordingly, this research aims to propose a unified yet flexible policy model for European, and Asian countries— one that offers an international framework while fully respecting each nation’s sovereignty and independence in domestic policymaking. This framework enables all participating countries to share their climate-specific renewable energy resources through cooperative mechanisms thereby facilitating energy exchange. Thus, the proposed model seeks to promote regional and cross-border collaboration in sustainable renewable energy development and optimize the utilization of energy potential across Europe and Asia. In other words, the main gap is the absence of a unified policy and suitable framework for sharing countries’ natural potential and infrastructure, which would enable optimal use of renewable energy resources. This issue forms the central focus of this research. This study follows a systematic approach, with theorizing conducted through three main steps: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, performed both manually and using MAXQDA software. In short, this research is qualitative in nature, employing grounded theory as its method, taking an inductive approach, with developmental and descriptive purposes, and using semi-structured interviews for data collection. In this regard, suggestions are offered to establish a unified international policy for addressing energy and environmental issues in European, and Asian countries.
