Abstract
This study presents a policy model to promote the development of renewable energy. The model addresses technical, economic, and environmental barriers in different countries. The geographical diversity of member countries offers an opportunity to establish a stable international network for energy production and distribution. The model enables countries to effectively manage energy supply and demand based on international agreements. It emphasizes the importance of common interests for maintaining stability. Additionally, it highlights the political and financial independence of member countries and aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Based on the systematic approach, the theorizing of this research has been done in three main steps: open coding, Central coding, and selective coding manually and with MAXQDA software. Data analysis in this study includes two parts: qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative part analyzes the interview results. The quantitative part systematically analyzes the data using PLS and SPSS software. In short, the current research is qualitative, its strategy or method: is the Grounded Theory, its approach: is inductive, its purpose: developmental and descriptive, and its data collection method is a semi-structured interview. In this regard, suggestions are made to provide a single international policy for the development and resolution of energy and environmental problems in European and Asian countries.
