The dynamic and ever-evolving energy landscape has witnessed a remarkable shift in recent years, as stakeholders navigate the intricate interplay of red, green, and blue-hued market forces. Driven by the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, the energy sector has undergone a significant structural readjustment, with a growing emphasis on diversification and the integration of alternative energy sources(Rehman, 2020).
This transition has been further catalyzed by the rising urgency of addressing climate change and the increasing prominence of sustainable development agendas(Araújo, 2014). As nations strive to meet their renewable energy targets and reduce their carbon footprints, the energy market has become a kaleidoscope of diverse investment opportunities, policy frameworks, and technological innovations(Lema et al., 2020).
The emerging field of energy finance has become a critical area of study, as the strategic importance of energy and climate change has given financial issues a unique relevance for both academia and policymakers(Zhang, 2018). The interlinkages between energy markets and financial markets have become increasingly complex, with energy prices exhibiting more financial characteristics(Zhang, 2018).
Researchers have recognized the need to further explore the dynamics of energy finance, from the development of sophisticated financial modeling techniques to the management of risks associated with energy and environmental instruments(Jana et al., 2022).
The accelerating energy transition has ushered in a vibrant kaleidoscope of new energy markets, brimming with diverse hues and complex dynamics. Researchers now confront a captivating challenge to unravel the intricate interplay of red, green, and blue market forces, shaped by evolving policies, investment strategies, and technological innovations. This dynamic field presents a wealth of academic opportunities to explore the multifaceted landscape of the energy sector's chromatic spectrum.
