Financial Annexation, Green Innovation and Carbon Neutrality in China

Abstract

This article used data from 1980 to 2019 to examine the relationship between financial annexation, financial development, green innovation, and CO2 emissions in China. This review provides vital information to policymakers on how to go to preventative and therapeutic measures to reduce CO2 discharges in many sectors and demonstrates that innovation in the energy sector may help alleviate environmental change through energy productivity. The review used an autoregressive disseminated slack (ARDL) model to determine the dynamic coefficients for both the study’s long- and short-term periods. This study used the autoregressive circulated slack (ARDL) approach since it performs better than any alternative strategies in small cases, as was the case in this research. The ARDL and DARDL models show that CO2 emissions in China are increasing as a result of increased energy consumption and economic growth. Based on the findings, it is advised that China’s approach creators take on such sustainable power sources and improve them so that they may help meet the growing need for energy by replacing outdated traditional energy sources like coal, gas, and oil with them.

Green energy investment, renewable energy consumption, and carbon neutrality in China

“…The data include carbon emissions (CE) measured as consumption-based carbon emissions in metric tons per capita, green energy investment (GIE) is measured in a million USD investment in green energy supply, renewable energy consumption (REC) as % of total energy consumption, non-renewable energy consumption (NREC) measured as energy % produced from fossil fuels while economic growth (GDP) is in constant. Sun et al, 2022c the data of all variables are in different units; thus, we converted them into logarithm form to receive more efficient estimates by following (Razzaq et al, 2021b). The data for carbon emissions and non-renewable energy consumption is taken from the Statistical Bulletin of China; data for green energy investment is sourced from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), while economic growth and renewable energy consumption are sourced from.…”
