Clean energy development and low-carbon transition in China’s power industry by Yuxuan Cai, Edmund HoiNgan Loi, Chih-Lin Tung, Hao Wang, Jiansong Zheng

“…The high emission levels are primarily attributed to the extensive consumption of fossil resources during thermal power generation. Developing clean energy power generation to replace thermal power generation is one of the main strategies to mitigate the high level of carbon emissions in the power industry and thus promoting its low-carbon transition.MethodTo explore the relationship between China’s development level of clean electricity and carbon emissions from thermal power, this paper conducts an empirical study using provincial data from 2008 to 2021, while employing fixed-effects models, mediation effect tests, and heterogeneity tests.Results and discussionThe results indicate that an increase in the level of clean electricity development reduces CO2 emissions from thermal power, and this effect exhibits a trend of diminishing from the eastern economic zone to the western economic zone in China. …”
