Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to reach a broad audience of academic researchers, industry professionals, and regulators with novel research on energy consumption and economic growth.

We welcome submissions that represent original, high-quality theoretical and empirical research, as well as policy-oriented research papers that provide definitive conclusions to advance the field of energetics, business, and economics.

We particularly encourage research that focuses on energy and its effects on the economy—which have been profoundly transforming traditional markets—and, in turn, presents new challenges and opportunities for energetics and economic-growth research, including, but not limited to, climate/green, economics/competition, business/startups, and innovation/big data.

The European Union (EU) has made eco-innovation and green technology a priority as they are essential to the continent’s long-term prosperity. To move towards sustainable economic growth, eco-innovation takes a significant role in the transition process. The aim of the article is to use the eco-innovation indicators as an instrument to measure the eco-innovation performance of Lithuania in the context of the EU Green Deal in order to analyze and assess the components and indicators of the eco-innovation index for Lithuania. Following the aim of the article, a set of research hypotheses will be formulated. The evaluation of eco-innovation indicators in Lithuania relative to EU countries using Eco-IS indicators, determination of eco-innovation efficiency using the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method, and identification of necessary eco-innovation policies for sustainable growth are the objectives of this paper. The research results present the positive impact of eco-innovation activities in the EU on Lithuania, and vice versa. Lithuania was affected positively by eco-innovation activities of other EU nations. The outcome of the study indicates its relevance by highlighting Lithuania’s position among the lowest countries in terms of eco-innovation adoption, hence new research pathways for the creation and implementation of policies to solve the current situation are provided.
