| Abstract | Renewable energy growth should be accelerated in order to meet our goal of carbon neutrality and peak carbon emissions. Laws like the Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) are becoming increasingly important in producing renewable energy. Using green technology advancements is seen as balancing economic growth with environmental security. Though the connection between green technology advancements and CO2 emissions is poorly understood, empirical research is lacking, especially in developing countries. Climate change action now falls under a single overarching contract, signed in Paris on November 4, 2016. Global warming mitigation aims to keep temperature increases to no more than 2 degrees C above preindustrial levels. By 2060, China intends to reach carbon neutrality by developing green technologies (GTI). Because of these interconnections, this research explores the relationship between green technology innovation (GI) and renewable energy investment (REI) in selected Chinese provinces from 2005 to 2019. GI, REI, urbanization, industrial value-added, and income per capita were all considered in the STIRPAT model. We used a panel of chosen regions to test two relatively new panel estimation methods empirically: "continuously updated fully modified" (Cup-FM) and "continuously updated bias-corrected" (Cup-BC). According to our findings, urbanization and green technological developments positively impact CO2 emission reduction. The panel also finds that investments in renewable energy and the industrial sector fail to reduce pollution levels. A positive and negative coefficient of income per capita indicates that the inverted U-shaped EKC hypothesis is valid for the Chinese provinces. The results provide vital strategy insights and recommendations for the panel of experts and countries worldwide. |
