“…Their empirical results indicated that technological change and economic structure will help to reduce carbon emissions. Lee and Min (2015) Zhang et al (2018) reported that CO 2 emissions intensity decreases from 84.63% to 67.86% by 2030 but when renewable energy sources have a considerable contribution to reduction of CO 2 emissions in China. Lin and Wang (2014) highlighted that high-level CO 2 emissions countries need to concentration on technological innovations and also need to focus on low-carbon investment.…”

This paper explores the relationship between 'public-private partnerships investment in energy sector and carbon emissions' considering the vital role of technological innovations in carbon emissions function for China. In doing so, we apply bootstrapping autoregressive distributed lag modeling (BARDL) for examining the cointegration between carbon emissions and its determinants. The empirical results reveal that public-private partnerships investment in energy impedes environmental quality by increasing carbon emissions. On contrary, technological innovations have negative effect on carbon emissions. The relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions is inverted-U shaped i.e. environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. Exports are positively linked with carbon emissions. Foreign direct investment impedes environmental quality by stimulating CO 2 emissions. The empirical findings provide new insights for policy makers to direct publicprivate partnerships investment in energy for the betterment of environmental quality in China.

“…If so, how? This issue has been explored widely in existing literature [1][2][3][4]. It has been accepted that the key to achieving the CEPT is to reduce the use of fossil energy-but fossil energy is still the mainstay of China's energy structure.…”

The setting of a CO2 emission peak target (CEPT) will have a profound impact on Chinese industry. An objective assessment of this impact is of great significance, both for understanding/applying the forcing mechanism of CEPT, and for promoting the optimization of China’s industrial structure and the low-carbon transformation of Chinese industry at a lower cost. Based on analysis of the internal logic and operation of the forcing mechanism of CEPT, we employed the STIRPAT model. This enabled us to predict the peak path of China’s CO2 emissions, select the path values that would achieve the CEPT with the year 2030 as the constraint condition, construct a multi-objective and multi-constraint input/output optimization model, employ the genetic algorithm to solve the model, and explore the industrial structure optimization and low-carbon transformation of Chinese industry. The results showed that the setting of CEPT will have a significant suppression effect on high-carbon emission industries and a strong boosting effect on low-carbon emission industries. The intensity of the effect is positively correlated with the target intensity of the CO2 emissions peak. Under the effect of the forcing mechanism of CEPT, Chinese industry can realize a low-carbon transition and the industrial structure can realize optimization. The CEPT is in line with sustainable development goals, but the setting of CEPT may risk causing excessive shrinkage of basic industries—which should be prevented.

“…As such, many nations and multinational organizations have promulgated laudable and sound policy initiatives to achieve CO 2 emission reduction targets. One such policy directive is the reduction of CO 2 emission drastically by the end of the 21st century formulated by the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) in 1996 1 …”

Sustainable economic prosperity has become a major policy initiative for economies worldwide. To accomplish this objective, it is imperative to reduce CO 2 emissions, which makes attaining sustainable development goals problematic. In this regard, improving economic growth without disastrously hampering the environment is a key factor in the fight against climate change. As such, many nations and multinational organizations have promulgated laudable and sound policy initiatives to achieve CO 2 emission reduction targets. One such policy directive is the reduction of CO 2 emission drastically by the end of the 21st century formulated by the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) in 1996. 1
