The Mechanism and Effects Analysis of Clean Energy Development on Pollution Reduction and Carbon Emission Mitigation
Based on panel data from 30 provinces in China spanning from 2011 to 2022,a two-way fixed effects model and a moderated effects model were constructed to empirically analyze the impact of developing clean energy on pollution reduction and carbon mitigation.The results indi-cate that the development of clean energy significantly promotes pollution reduction and carbon mitigation.The impact of developing clean energy on pollution reduction and carbon mitigation exhibits geographical location heterogeneity,economic development stage heterogeneity,and re-source dependency attribute heterogeneity.Environmental regulations have a significantly positive moderating effect on the promotion of pollution reduction and carbon mitigation through the devel-opment of clean energy.
