Advancing ecological sustainability, a major focus of the SDGs, necessitates evaluating the influence of green energy, sustainable technology, and resource utilization on ecological load capacity factors—an area that has remained underexplored in existing research. Also, the LCF method, which elucidates the unique features of the supply and demand dynamics in the natural environment, is still not used by BRICS environmental modelers. This study examined panel data of pertinent LCF predictors spanning from 1980 to 2021. The analysis utilized several advanced methodologies, and a new viewpoint was presented through the application of the panel‐frequency domain Granger causality test. The results demonstrate that (i) green transitions notably enhance LCF across various quantile distributions, and (ii) green technologies exert a moderately positive influence on LCF. The analysis suggests that ongoing shifts towards clean energy and the encouragement of eco‐friendly technological innovations necessitate well‐planned policies to enhance LCF within the BRICS nations
