“…According to the report, it is estimated that by 2025, direct investment in new infrastructure in seven significant fields will reach 10 trillion yuan and drive over 17 trillion yuan in investment accumulation. Seven major fields include 5G infrastructure, UHV, high-speed intercity railway and urban rail transit, new 1 The international environmental protection organization Greenpeace, the China Association for the Promotion of International NGO Cooperation, and the School of Environment of Renmin University of China jointly released "Inquiry into the Comprehensive Benefits of New Infrastructure Analysis Based on the Framework of Green and Inclusive Recovery".

“…In the history of global economic development, the early extensive economic development model often brought considerable difficulties to the subsequent environmental governance. In the new economic era, the low-carbon and green economies have gradually become the recognized direction of future economic development [1,2]. Since implementing the reform and openingup policy, China has achieved remarkable economic achievements through traditional infrastructure construction.…”

“…A report 1 jointly issued by international environmental protection organizations, the Renmin University of China, and other institutions pointed out that compared with traditional infrastructure, the carbon emissions of new infrastructure during the production process are also significantly lower than traditional infrastructure. In addition, from the perspective of data comparison, carbon dioxide emissions in the production process of the new infrastructure are reduced by 13.483 million tons compared with traditional infrastructure, and the emission reduction rate is about 7.24%.…”

While new infrastructure, as a technological extension of traditional infrastructure, has important digital economy attributes, mismatched investment in new infrastructure can still be environmentally damaging. To this end, this paper explores the potential impact of the matching relationship between the new infrastructure investment (NII) and the upgrading of industrial structure (UIS) on environmental pollution from the perspective of coupling and coordination between the two. Through a series of quantitative empirical and robustness tests on China's relevant data from 2011 to 2019, this paper concludes that the coupling coordination level (NUC) of NII and UIS has an inhibitory effect on major environmental pollutants; in terms of mediating effect, NUC can reduce the emission of major environmental pollutants by improving energy consumption structure (ECS) and green innovation level (GII); in terms of nonlinear change characteristics, there is a threshold effect of NUC on the emission of industrial sewage and industrial dust; in terms of spatial properties, NII, NUC, PM2.5 and industrial sewage have positive spatial spillover effects. This study provides theoretical and empirical evidence that can support the government's decision to implement differentiated new infrastructure investment decisions based on environmental protection, and it also provides a certain level of reference for developing countries to make more environmentally friendly new infrastructure investment decisions.

“…At the global level, the primary objectives for a sustainable future are to optimize energy use, enhance energy efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions [1,2]. A lowcarbon economy, which is a crucial method for achieving these objectives, is inextricably linked to the concept of an economy based on renewable green energy.…”

Turkey is attempting to achieve carbon neutrality targets by implementing environmentally friendly techniques. This study aims to assess the short- and long-term relationships between Turkey’s annual carbon emissions and economic growth, as well as annual electricity generation from renewable fossil fuels. Data for this study were obtained from the World Bank and the official website of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) from 1986 to 2020. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag Bound Test (ARDL) technique was used to estimate variable cointegration. The cointegration test shows a long-run relationship between the selected variables. A 1% increase in the GDP, COAL, and PTRLGZ variables increases CO2 emissions by 0.65%, 33%, and 7%, respectively. The RE variable was found to have a negative effect on CO2 emissions. The effect of the RE variable on CO2 emissions is −0.10. This result indicates that a 1% increase in the RE variable reduces CO2 emissions by 0.10%. Looking at the short-term data, the error correction coefficient (CointEq (−1)) was found to be negative (−0.832) and significant. Based on the error correction variable, it is expected that the short-run deviations from equilibrium will be corrected and that a long-run equilibrium will be reached in less than one year. The long-run results also suggest that the factors used in the model have a statistically significant effect on the dependent variable. While this effect is negative for annual electricity production from renewable energy sources, it is positive for annual electricity production from fossil fuels and gross domestic product (GDP).

“…With the development of low-carbon society, various parks based on the zero-carbon model are built on a large scale. The zero-carbon model refers to a model in which the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions from a certain area is offset by technology within a certain period of time [1,2]. The concept is easy to understand.…”

The operation of the park based on zero-carbon model is the key to achieving the goal of carbon neutrality, but it is still inconclusive whether the claimed zero-carbon park is truly zero-carbon. This paper sets out the advantages and disadvantages of various zero-carbon technologies from the aspects of energy supply, energy storage, and energy management. It is demonstrated that the operation of the zero-carbon model of the park needs to comprehensively consider the coordination of diverse factors. Finally, it pointed out the challenges faced by the development of zero-carbon model parks, as well as the support that the government and society should give. It is to provide reference for the design and implementation of zero-carbon concept projects.
