Article: Underlying the impact of information communication technology and renewable-non-renewable energy on environmental sustainability under the shadow of industrial waste management - a fresh insight from China Journal: International Journal of Energy Technology and Policy (IJETP) 2024 Vol.19 No.3/4 pp.321 - 343 Abstract: Due to rapid economic growth and a high population, China is the largest energy user and CO2 emitter. This research examines China's renewable energy (RE) use and its relationship to CO2 emissions, industrial waste (IW), NRE, and ICT consumption. ARDL estimation was used to determine the long-term co-integration of variables for the data from 2000 to 2022 of China. The study output shows that ICT and NRE have a significant negative relationship with REC, and a 1% increase in ICT and NRE will respond to a decrease of 1.18% and 1.005% in REC. Furthermore, CO2 has a positive relation with REC, and a 1% increase in CO2 will result in an upsurge of 2.98% in REC. According to robustness check through FMOLS and DOLS estimators, empirical evidence shows there is a significant effect at a 5% level of significance of the variables NRE, IW, ICT CO2 on REC in China in the long-run.

Abstract: Due to rapid economic growth and a high population, China is the largest energy user and CO₂ emitter. This research examines China's renewable energy (RE) use and its relationship to CO₂ emissions, industrial waste (IW), NRE, and ICT consumption. ARDL estimation was used to determine the long-term co-integration of variables for the data from 2000 to 2022 of China. The study output shows that ICT and NRE have a significant negative relationship with REC, and a 1% increase in ICT and NRE will respond to a decrease of 1.18% and 1.005% in REC. Furthermore, CO₂ has a positive relation with REC, and a 1% increase in CO₂ will result in an upsurge of 2.98% in REC. According to robustness check through FMOLS and DOLS estimators, empirical evidence shows there is a significant effect at a 5% level of significance of the variables NRE, IW, ICT CO₂ on REC in China in the long-run.
