Abstract:Based on the inter-provincial panel data from 2008 to 2017, the renewable energy power generation, carbon intensity, energy consumption structure, industrial structure, technological progress, energy intensity and other indicators, using path analysis, panel quantile regression model to calculate the The impact of renewable energy development on carbon emissions.The results show that: (1) The total utility of renewable energy development on carbon emissions is inhibiting, and carbon emissions are inhibited mainly through the two indicators of energy intensity and per capita GDP; (2) Renewable energy inhibits carbon emissions The effect is significant, and for every 1% increase in the development of renewable energy, the range of carbon emission intensity reduction is 0.3776%-1.6523%. (3) Observing the impact of renewable energy development on carbon emissions at each quantile, we can see that the higher the level of renewable energy development, the greater the inhibitory effect on carbon emission intensity.
