The ambitious targets of peaking CO2 emissions before 2030 and reaching carbon neutrality before 2060 (Goal 3060) have emerged as the driving force in the development of China's low-carbon energy policy. Adopting a systematic review approach, this article provides a timely analysis of key Chinese renewable energy and energy efficiency policies under Goal 3060 across five sectors: electricity, industry, transportation, buildings, and local governments. In addition, the review identifies challenges to be addressed and offers policy recommendations. There are five main conclusions: (1) expedite the development of market-based and network-based governance systems; (2) pursue the harmonization of policies by avoiding contradiction and fragmentation; (3) develop new policies, especially in the building and transportation sectors; (4) embrace surveillance technologies to improve implementation and compliance; and (5) ensure just transition by implementing policy to reduce the negative socioeconomic impacts on fossil fuels-based communities and workers. This review serves as a useful guide for scholars interested in China's clean and low-carbon energy transition.

“…This study uses a multivariate econometric framework to examine the interconnections between imported technology, energy consumption, trade ratio, foreign direct investment, and environmental degradation, following the lead of [54]. The following are the parameters of the econometric model used in this investigation:…”

“…In the field of environmental pollution, this area of study is still under-researched. Moreover, the empirical results, based on a case study of the transfer of the passive home concept from Germany to China, demonstrate that domestic rather than foreign players have determined the scope for collaboration and the aim of the technology, leading to the acceptance of a version of the technology that best suits domestic political-economic objectives [54]. These results provide fresh insights into the spatial component of socio-technical transitions and imply that low-carbon technology transfer is becoming geographically complex.…”

Numerous studies have examined the determinants of CO2 emission. However, earlier research has neglected to analyse the emission of CO2 resulting from the exchange of innovation technology. The present work contributes to the research stream by examining the relationship between innovation technology and environmental degradation in India from 1980 to 2021 during the time period of study. On the basis of the Auto Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) model and the Vector Error Correction (VECM) Granger Causality approach, the main finding is that innovation technologies are the primary contributors to India’s long-term CO2 emission. Short-term causality emerges from one-way causation between innovation technology and CO2 emissions. Additionally, a long-term feedback hypothesis between energy usage and CO2 emissions is rejected. Numerous critical tests are conducted to assure the stability of the model and the dependability of policy-relevant conclusions. This study proposes that the Indian government should invest more in research and development to increase its innovative technological power, which would be beneficial for environmental protection.

“…Investigating a specific subject of TT, namely the international transfer of low-carbon technologies, the authors of [5] drew some interesting empirical conclusions based on a case study. However, their main emphasis was on the priorities of Chinese, not foreign actors in cooperation and the purpose of the TT, which best corresponds to domestic political and economic interests.…”

“…A critical review of the literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] reveals that the economic and legal approach and methods of assessing the effectiveness of the commercial transfer of innovative technologies, taking into account their types and features, the connection with the general life cycle, are not yet sufficiently researched.…”

The object of this study is to determine the economic effect of technology transfer during the period of its viability. This paper suggests a methodology that takes into account the appropriate amount of profit and the accumulated amount of royalties in the commercial use of innovative technology. The necessity of taking into account the viability of the transfer of innovative technology as the beginning of its new life cycle was substantiated. The possibility of formalizing this process in the form of an assessment of the sum of the present values of all projected cash flows, taking into account the eligibility criterion and the barrier rate, has been established. We propose an approach, which, unlike the existing ones, consists in allocating a certain period of viability of innovative technology transfer in the life cycle of technology. It is argued that based on the results of technology renovation, it is possible to assess the economic effect of its transfer due to the benefits of implementation and achievement of licensing activity by expanding the number of licensees. We substantiate the possibility of generating profits and royalties to the licensor as the amount of investment that can and should be directed to the development of a fundamentally new or improved technology in relation to the previous one. The transition to a new technology causes an increase in the overall technological level and leads to the formation of a technological gap between the S-shaped life curves of technical systems and, in parallel, forms a new S-shaped curve of a new technological system based on new knowledge. An economic and legal approach to the development of a methodology for determining the economic effect or viability of innovative-level TT was implemented. The results of the current study could be used in the formation of legislative and subordinate national regulations, as well as serve as a basis for further research on this issue
