Is Energy the "Glue" of Entanglement?

Forgetting the case where one particle becomes 2 particles, can entanglement between two, originally independent, particles occur without some kind of energy exchange between them? Is energy the "glue" of entanglement?

These relations help us to gain a
profound understanding of entanglement itself as a physical resource
by relating entanglement to energy as an evident physical resource.

can you summarize that paper to answer the question?
i do not directly find the answer in the paper

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
