“…Studies by Lin et al [ 27 ] and Wu [ 28 ] support that industrial coagglomeration promotes green innovation. However, resource misallocation, enterprise chain extrusion, and low-efficiency balance result from low-level industrial coagglomeration, and the crowding effect caused by overly industrial coagglomeration may also hinder green innovation [ 23 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Zeng et al [ 30 ] and Zhang et al [ 23 ] hold that, at present, China’s industrial coagglomeration is in a low-efficiency stage, which is not conducive to enhancing green innovation.…”

The achievement of China’s low-carbon development and carbon neutrality depends heavily on the decrease of manufacturing carbon emissions. From coagglomeration’s dynamic evolution perspective, by using panel-threshold-STIRPAT and mediation-STIRPAT models, this study examines the relationships among industrial coagglomeration, green innovation, and manufacturing carbon emissions and explores the direct and indirect function mechanisms. Panel data of China’s 30 provinces from 2010 to 2019 are employed. The results imply that, first, the impact of industrial coagglomeration on manufacturing carbon emissions is nonlinear and has significant threshold effects. Industrial coagglomeration negatively affects manufacturing carbon emissions, and as the coagglomeration level deepens, the negative effect has a diminishing trend in marginal utility. Once the coagglomeration degree exceeds a certain threshold, the negative impact becomes insignificant. At present, for 90% of China’s regions, an increase in industrial coagglomeration level can help reduce manufacturing carbon emissions. Second, green innovation is a vital intermediary between industrial coagglomeration and manufacturing carbon emissions. It is a partial intermediary when industrial coagglomeration is at a relatively lower-level stage and a complete intermediary when industrial coagglomeration is at a relatively higher-level stage. These findings reveal the significance of optimizing industrial coagglomeration and the level and efficiency of green innovation to decrease carbon emissions.

Promoting structural transformation and energy efficiency improvement by grouping productive services is a significant action for China's targets of realizing carbon neutrality and carbon peak. This study employs the spatial Durbin model to explore the influences of the agglomeration of producer services (producer services agglomeration) on industrial energy efficiency using panel data from China, specifically from its prefecture-level cities. It turned out that the specialization producer services agglomeration has effectively improved the industrial energy efficiency of the city and its adjacent areas. However, the producer services agglomeration in diverse fields only plays a positive stimulating role in the energy efficiency standards of the city. After changing the industrial energy efficiency index, and sample size and considering endogeneity, the test results agree with the benchmark estimation outcomes. Additional research indicates that technological spillovers and manufacturing production costs exert a significant mediation influence in the process of promoting energy efficiency by producer services agglomeration. Furthermore, the producer services agglomeration has a substantial heterogeneous effect on the industrial energy efficiency due to differences in industry types of producer services. The conclusion of this article is of considerable relevance for China to rely on the producer services agglomeration to support effective energy utilization, as well as green and sustainable economic development.
