Abstract

The motivation of this paper is to revealing the environmental impact mechanism of hydrogen energy technology innovation (HETI). Given the considerable contributions of excessive fossil energy consumption to pollution and carbon emissions, developing clean energy technologies, including HETI. Applying Chinese provincial panel data from 2011 to 2022, this study examines the impact of HETI on the synergistic abatement of pollution and carbon emissions (SAPCE) and its intrinsic mechanisms. The findings indicate that hydrogen technology innovations are effective in promoting SAPCE. The path analysis indicates that HETI drives energy substitution effect, technology innovation linkage effect and industrial structure upgrading effect to achieve SAPCE. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that HETI in highly marketized regions exerts effective SAPCE compared to regions with low levels of marketization. Additionally, compared to western provinces, hydrogen technology innovations in eastern and central provinces have more effectively contributed to SAPCE. Industry-university-research cooperation based on HETI facilitates SAPCE. This research provides theoretical support for utilizing new energy to contribute to sustainable environmental development, and provides decision-making reference for further promoting hydrogen energy development.

期刊介绍： The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc. The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
