This study provides a preliminary analysis of the carbon emission characteristics of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Regional green total factor productivity (GTFP) is assessed using a stochastic non-parametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach to clarify the output targets for regional low-carbon development. A multi-objective optimization model is developed, integrating the STIRPAT, NSGA-III, and TOPSIS methods to identify optimal development pathways for the next decade. Key findings include: (1) Carbon emissions initially increased before stabilizing, with over 80 % originating from the secondary sector. (2) Both weak and strong decoupling states were observed between GDP and the carbon emission decoupling index, with fewer provinces exhibiting strong decoupling. (3) The GTFP of downstream regions is significantly superior to that of upstream regions, and technological progress has a more pronounced impact on GTFP than changes in technical efficiency. (4) Forecasting and optimization results indicate that the economic development scenario is optimal, followed by the energy development scenario, whereas the low-carbon development scenario performs least favorably. Achieving the dual objectives of regional economic growth and emission reductions within the next decade is projected to require a confluence of factors: an 8 % annual economic growth rate, a decline in fossil fuel dependence to 53 % of the energy mix, and a contraction of the secondary sector's contribution to 47 %.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101725"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143825520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike traditional research, which focuses on the impact of fossil fuels on carbon prices, this study emphasises risk spillovers from new energy markets amidst large-scale renewable energy deployment. Moreover, to address subjectivity in variable selection and overfitting issues in carbon price determinants, the LASSO algorithm is integrated with the multivariate GARCH model. Using daily carbon quota prices from seven Chinese pilot markets (2014–2022), factors driving carbon price volatility are systematically identified, and the heterogeneous influence of new energy markets on carbon market risks is rigorously analysed. The results indicate that new energy market volatility significantly contributes to carbon price fluctuations. A 1 % increase in the CNI New Energy Index induces co-movement in carbon prices: Hubei (+0.08 %), Beijing (+0.01 %) and Shenzhen (+0.06 %), while Shanghai exhibits inverse sensitivity (−0.19 %). Prices in Guangdong, Tianjin and Chongqing show minimal responsiveness. Additionally, the correlation between new energy markets and carbon markets exhibits temporal heterogeneity.

While the government has emphasized renewable energy investments and sustainability narratives, challenges persist in policy enforcement, regional disparities, and the effectiveness of local government initiatives. This study examines China's renewable energy policies from 2000 to 2023, employing the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) model across 30 provinces to assess the relationship between renewable energy technological innovation, local government competition, and carbon emissions reduction. The empirical findings reveal that renewable energy technology innovation significantly reduces carbon emissions, but its effectiveness varies regionally, with stronger impacts observed in highly marketized eastern provinces compared to central and western regions. Additionally, local government innovation competition enhances the carbon reduction effects of renewable energy investments, whereas economic competition weakens policy effectiveness by prioritizing short-term industrial growth over long-term sustainability goals. The results also indicate that energy consumption intensity and urbanization rates contribute to rising emissions, suggesting that renewable energy expansion alone is insufficient without comprehensive grid modernization and energy efficiency improvements. Furthermore, policy rhetoric on renewable energy has improved over time, yet inconsistencies in execution persist, particularly in less marketized regions where institutional and financial constraints hinder policy outcomes. These findings highlight the need for stronger policy enforcement, regional coordination, and targeted incentives to bridge the gap between rhetoric and practice, ensuring a more effective and equitable transition to a low-carbon economy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101706"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143824191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It presents a compelling case for safeguarding marginalized and vulnerable communities as economies shift to low-carbon models. The review investigates the synergies and trade-offs between SDG implementation and climate action, emphasizing the need to balance economic growth, energy access, food security, and infrastructure development with climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts.
