This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to explore research trends in green technology and their impact on the global economy. The analysis covers publications from 1981 to 2024 and reveals a significant increase in research output, particularly after 2000, driven by global efforts to promote sustainability. Key themes identified include green technology innovation, investment, green growth, and technical advancements in green chemistry and solvents. China and the United States lead in research output and international collaboration, highlighting the global nature of green technology research. However, challenges such as the high costs of green technology adoption and the need for more interdisciplinary research persist. This study concludes that while green technology research has made substantial progress, future efforts must focus on making these technologies more economically viable and accessible, particularly in developing regions.</p>2024-09-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Loso Judijanto, Ade Suhara, Nanny Mayasarihttps://wsj.westscience-press.com/index.php/wsnt/article/view/1280The Effect of Green Technology Implementation, Agricultural Product Innovation, and Green Technology Infrastructure Investment on Local Economic Growth in West Java2024-09-24T00:45:48+00:00Loso Judijantolosojudijantobumn@gmail.comDewa Oka Suparwatasuparwata_do@umgo.ac.idDarmawan Listya Cahyadarmawan@esaunggul.ac.idImam Widodoi.widodo@unipa.ac.id<p>This study examines the effects of green technology implementation, agricultural product innovation, and green technology infrastructure investment on local economic growth in West Java. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 120 respondents using a Likert scale and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The findings reveal that green technology implementation, agricultural product innovation, and green technology infrastructure investment all significantly and positively impact local economic growth. The results emphasize the importance of sustainable practices and innovation in fostering economic development. The study provides insights for policymakers and business leaders to promote green technology adoption, support agricultural innovation, and invest in infrastructure to drive sustainable economic growth. Future research should explore additional variables and broader geographical contexts to enhance the model's explanatory power.</p>2024-09-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Loso Judijanto, Dewa Oka Suparwata, Darmawan Listya Cahya, Imam Widodohttps://wsj.westscience-press.com/index.php/wsnt/article/view/1281The Effect of AI-Based Technology Implementation, Green Energy Sustainability, and Product Innovation on Economic Growth of the Manufacturing Industry in Indonesia2024-09-24T00:45:12+00:00Loso Judijantolosojudijantobumn@gmail.comTriyugo Winarkotriyugo_win@umitra.ac.idUsman Tahirirmanustah@gmail.comArnes Yuli Vandikaarnes@ieee.orgAmelia S. Sarungallosammin431@gmail.com<p>This study investigates the effect of AI-based technology implementation, green energy sustainability, and product innovation on the economic growth of the manufacturing industry in Indonesia. Using a quantitative research approach, data were collected from 120 manufacturing firms and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results show that AI-based technology has the strongest positive impact on economic growth, followed by green energy sustainability and product innovation. AI-driven technologies optimize operations, reduce costs, and enhance decision-making, contributing significantly to the economic performance of firms. Green energy sustainability promotes long-term growth by reducing operational costs and improving environmental performance. While product innovation positively influences growth, its impact is relatively weaker, indicating the need for complementary factors. These findings provide insights for policymakers and industry leaders to focus on technological advancement, sustainability, and innovation as drivers of economic growth in Indonesia’s manufacturing sector.</p>2024-09-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Loso Judijanto, Triyugo Winarko, Usman Tahir, Arnes Yuli Vandika, Amelia S.

Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 70 respondents across different regions using a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. The analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26 to examine the relationship between clean energy infrastructure and regional economic performance. The results show a strong positive correlation between clean energy technology infrastructure and regional economic growth, with a statistically significant relationship. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis indicates that clean energy infrastructure development significantly predicts economic growth, while geographic location and government policy also play important roles. These findings suggest that investments in clean energy infrastructure are crucial drivers of regional economic development and highlight the need for supportive policies to maximize the benefits of renewable energy projects. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in advancing sustainable development through clean energy initiatives.</p>2024-09-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Loso Judijanto, Ilham Ilham, Arnes Yuli Vandikahttps://wsj.westscience-press.com/index.php/wsnt/article/view/1296Analysis of Plant Watering Efficiency Using IoT Technology Controlled Through Google Assistant2024-09-25T02:42:07+00:00Nur Hakimnurhakimboy5@gmail.comMuhammad Hazmimhazmi.hazmi@gmail.comSyam Gunawansyam.gunawan@inaba.ac.idArnes Yuli Vandikaarnes@ieee.orgHanifah Nurul Muthmainahhanifah20220200046@sibermu.ac.id<p>This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of 120 academic documents sourced from the Scopus database, which analyses the efficiency of crop watering systems utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology controlled via Google Assistant.
