Summary China has committed to electric vehicle (EV) development to achieve the “Dual Carbon” goals. However, the rising electricity demand from EVs may exacerbate carbon emissions from the power sector. This empirical study investigates the impact of China’s EV adoption on carbon emissions in the power sector using the panel data from 2017 to 2022. The instrumental variable regression results reveal that a 10% increase in EV sales increases emissions from power plants by 0.39%. Spatial econometric results further indicate significant emission spillovers and spatial connections among power plants. In addition, our scenario analysis reveals that the coordinated development of renewable energy and transport electrification contributes further to carbon reduction. Our findings highlight the importance of a cleaner energy mix in unlocking the full decarbonization potential of EVs.
Against the backdrop of China’s “dual-carbon” goals, the low-carbon city pilot (LCCP) program has become an important policy instrument for promoting urban green and low-carbon transformation. Using panel data from cities in Central China over the period 2011–2023, this study employs a multi-period difference-in-differ...
ABSTRACT Green technology adoption in the Global South is vital due to rapid industrial growth and reliance on fossil fuels, leading to increased carbon footprints. This study explores how economic evaluation models: Cost-Benefit Analysis, Life Cycle Cost Analysis, and Social Impact Investing-can aid policymakers in se...

: Under the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality and the development of a new-type power system, electricity–carbon market coordination can reduce abatement costs and improve energy allocation. Using panel data from six early carbon-trading pilot regions in China from 2017 to 2022, this study evaluates the dev...
