This article examines the linear and nonlinear relationship between disaggregated public spending and green economic growth in China's case for 1993Q1-2018Q4. We used the principal component analysis approach to calculate the index of green economic growth and analyzed quarterly data through DOLS and FMOLS models. We found that public spending on economic affairs, public spending on health, inflation rate, and trade openness have a positive effect on green economic growth, while public spending on housing has a negative effect on green economic growth. Besides, the results showed a linear relationship between public spending on economic affairs and green growth; while a nonlinear relationship between public spending on housing and green economic growth, and between public spending on health and green economic growth. Lastly, the results showed that the 2015Q1 breakpoint has a negative and significant effect on green growth, while the 2008 financial crisis effect is not significant.

“…Electric energy substitution emphasizes that priority should be given to energy consumption through technological innovation. In order to reduce the consumption of fossil energy, the project encourages the use of various types of electric products and facilities, such as traditional coal-fired boilers, coal burners, residential heating and cooking, to reduce coal consumption [6].…”

Planning Mechanism Design and Benefit Analysis of Electric Energy Substitution: A Case Study of Tobacco Industry in Yunnan Province, China

The problem of fossil energy shortage and pollution has become increasingly prominent. In China, government-led electric energy substitution projects are being carried out in nationwide, aiming at the end of energy consumption links, using electricity instead of coal-fired and oil-fired energy consumption, in order to optimize the energy structure and achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction. Aiming at the planning and benefit sharing of electric energy substitution project, this research first designs the planning mechanism of electric energy substitution for productive users, analyses distribution network planning, transformation subsidy and so on, and puts forward three schemes. Secondly, based on the cooperative game theory, the benefit allocation model of electric energy substitution project is established. Finally, we take the flue-cured tobacco project about replacing coal with electricity in three areas of Yunnan province as an example to analyze, optimize the game strategy, and put forward three indicators to measure the benefits of the participants in the project. The pollution reduction situation that can not be converted into economic benefits is counted. The modeling results show that the density of users geographically will directly affect the cost of the distribution network transformation. The coal flue-cured tobacco heat loss and serious pollution, after optimization, power grid enterprises can quickly recover investment.

“…In the studies, the coal-to-gas substitution was firstly investigated to reveal the trend of replacing coal by gas in terminal energy consumption [19,20]. Subsequently, dedicated attention has been paid to examining the electricity substitution for polluting fossil-fuels (i.e., coal-to-electricity and oil-to-electricity substitution), according to Lin et al, Wu et al, and Zhang et al [21][22][23].…”

“…Chen et al and Niu et al found that clean energy substitution in terminal energy consumption could effectively cut down carbon emissions [32,33]. However, Lin et al and Wu et al demonstrated that the CO 2 abatement by clean energy substitution is limited because fossil-fired electricity generation would also emit a large amount of CO 2 [21,22]. Furthermore, previous studies suggested opposite analytical results for economic impacts of clean energy substitution.…”

China has initiated various dedicated policies on clean energy substitution for polluting fossil-fuels since the early 2010s to alleviate severe carbon emissions and environmental pollution and accelerate clean energy transformation. Using the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) regression, we project the potentials of substituting coal and oil with clean energy for different production sectors in China toward the year 2030. Based on the projections, a dynamic multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium model, CHINAGEM, is employed to examine: the impacts of future clean energy substitution on China’s energy production, outputs of non-energy sectors, macro-economy, and CO2 emissions. First, we found that most production sectors are projected to replace polluting fossil-fuels with clean energy in their terminal energy consumption in 2017–2030. Second, clean energy substitution enables producing green co-benefits that would enable improvements in energy production structure, reductions in national CO2 emissions, and better real GDP and employment. Third, technological progress in non-fossil-fuel electricity could further benefit China’s clean and low-carbon energy transformation, accelerating the reduction in CO2 emissions and clean energy substitution. Furthermore, the most beneficiary are energy-intensive and high carbon-emission sectors owing to the drop in coal and oil prices, while the most negatively affected are the downstream sectors of electricity. Through research, various tentative improvement policies are recommended, including financial support, renewable electricity development, clean energy utilization technology, and clean coal technologies.
