Abstract

This study examines the increasing adoption of green technologies in the energy and water sectors, emphasizing their potential to achieve net-zero carbon emissions while promoting economic and environmental sustainability. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, focusing on published data concerning green technologies for clean energy and water production in the context of zero-carbon emissions. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA, were employed to evaluate clean energy and water production data, revealing a significant increase (p-value < 0.05) in the utilization of green technologies, which has contributed to a reduction in carbon emissions. The findings also demonstrated a strong positive correlation (r = 0.92) between the passage of time and the growth in clean energy harvesting (23%) for economic activities, including water production. Furthermore, the widespread integration of green technologies across various economies highlights a positive relationship between carbon emission reduction, economic growth, and climate change mitigation. These insights provide valuable guidance for policymakers and researchers, laying the groundwork for frameworks that encourage the further adoption of green technologies in clean energy and water production. This study serves as a reference for future research aimed at leveraging green technologies to combat climate change, underscoring their critical role in sustainable energy generation. Its originality lies in its dual focus: first, on the potential of green technologies for clean energy and water production, and second, on the relationship between green technologies, climate change mitigation, and the growth of a green economy. While the study does not introduce entirely new concepts, it presents a fresh perspective on the interconnectedness of green technologies, clean energy for water production, and climate action. Nonetheless, the study emphasizes the need for further research to assessing the long-term impact of these technologies on climate change mitigation.
