Examining the relationship between green energy, the digital economy, and economic advancement in eighteen South American nations, the study used the Principal Component Factor (PCF) approach. A Green Energy Transition Index (GETI) and a Digital Economy Index (DEI) were developed as a consequence of this study. Confirmation of the large influence of switching to green energy on economic development and environmental sustainability is provided by the research's use of Fixed Effect Panel Threshold Regression (FEPTR) analysis. In today's global industrial value chain, hydrocarbons are the main source of energy. As a result, it hastened the decarburization of the world energy system to lower the noteworthy quantities of CO2 emissions from these sources. All quantile groups' economic development is strongly impacted by the digital economy and the move to green energy, according to the Methodology of instants of quantile regression (MMQR). The only element that positively impacts environmental sustainability across all quantile groups is the switch to Green energy. Reducing CO2 emissions and increasing economic development are characteristics of the low-quantile group. While the median quantile group does see a decrease in carbon dioxide emissions, economic growth remains stagnant.
该研究通过主成分因子（PCF）方法，考察了18个南美国家绿色能源、数字经济与经济发展之间的关系。作为这项研究的成果，开发了一个绿色能源转型指数（GETI）和一个数字经济指数（DEI）。该研究使用固定效应面板门槛回归（FEPTR）分析，证实了转向绿色能源对经济发展和环境可持续性的重大影响。在当今全球产业价值链中，碳氢化合物是主要能源来源。因此，加快世界能源系统的脱碳进程，以减少这些来源产生的大量二氧化碳排放。根据分位数回归瞬间法（MMQR），数字经济和转向绿色能源对所有分位数组的经济发展都有强烈影响。在所有分位数组中，对环境可持续性产生积极影响的唯一因素是转向绿色能源。低分数组的特点是减少二氧化碳排放并促进经济发展。虽然中位数分位数组的二氧化碳排放量确实有所下降，但经济增长仍然停滞不前。
