چکیده:
The main objective of the present study is to find out a clear answer to the question raised in developing countries, that whether such developing economies could be able to achieve economic growth as well as protect their environment simultaneously or these economies still suffer from a severe conflict between environmental protection and economic growth. So, different categories of developing countries were selected and distinguished as oil-based and non-oil based countries for the period 2001-2012. The panel data regression analysis of the information collected from countries showed that the variables such as renewable energy, population growth and the size of internet users have negative and significant effects on the CO2 emission per unit of GDP, while the share of industrial sector value added has a positive effect on CO2 emission per unit of GDP in all categories. Moreover, the rate of urbanization has a negative effect on CO2 emission per unit of GDP in developing but major oil importer countries.

The panel data regres s ion analys is of the information collected from countries s howed that the variables s uch as renewable energy, population growth and the s ize of internet us ers have negative and s ignificant effects on the CO2 emis s ion per unit of GDP, while the s hare of indus trial s ector value added has a pos itive effect on CO2 emis s ion per unit of GDP in all categories .
These emissions are closely linked to energy consumption, economic growth and the environment as they have serious effects on temperatures, sea levels, and global air pollution, with the ultimate result of damaging human health (Ajmi et al.
CG = f (RE, UR, PG, IND, IU) (4) In order to study the impact of the Urbanization (UR), Internet users (IU), Population growth (PG), share of industry value added of GDP (IND) and renewable energy (RE) as independent variables on the amount of CO2 emission per unit of GDP (CG), the panel data model was formed as Eq. 5.
The study shows that the variable named as the ratio of industry sector value added to GDP has positive and the variables named population growth, renewable energy and internet users have significant and negative effects on CO2 emission per unit of GDP in all groups of countries.
As a result, using renewable energy and industrialization are two factors that make a difference between the countries performance in environmental protection, at the same time with their economic development process.
