Algeria's recent economic shifts have caused its macroeconomic data to exhibit an abnormal distribution, requiring a nonlinear approach examine the asymmetric impact of technological innovation (TI), fossil fuel energy (FFE), and renewable (RE) on CO2 emissions. This study employs autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model analyze these factors Furthermore, Quantile Autoregressive Distributed Lag (QARDL) Granger Causality (QGC) approaches are employed for robustness checks. The NARDL results indicate that positive shocks in TI decrease emissions, whereas negative increase Positive RE also while no effect. In contrast, FFE but even stronger effect, resulting almost double emissions over time. These findings confirm presence asymmetry, as regressors clearly influence Algeria. Moreover, from causality analysis TI, RE, causal effect consistent with QARDL QGC approaches. Therefore, it is crucial Algeria prioritize investment sustainable technology implement carbon-neutral policies reduce reliance encourage use cleaner sources. shift towards green sector requires policymakers ensure aligns development objectives.

Many recent initiatives have been introduced to enhance ecological sustainability by minimizing countries' footprints (EF). The focus has on achieving environmental footprint neutrality through the application of green technologies (GT) and financial development (FD) in facilitating this transition. To determine contribution these variables sustainability, study investigated effects GT FD EF Algeria from Q1/1990 Q4/2021. Additionally, research examines moderating role with EF. achieve objectives, advanced Fourier autoregressive distributed lag techniques causality test were employed. findings reveal that increases EF, leading degradation. Conversely, reduces long run, demonstrating its potential foster sustainability. Notably, highlights significant FD-EF relationship. This underscores critical mitigating adverse creative lowering Therefore, recommends integrates long-term reduction harm.
