Development of green technology from the past to the future development: a systematic literature review paper

Abstract

In the era of globalization today, Green technology acceptance has become a crucial sector not just for the environment, but also for humans and towards the economy. In this paper, the researcher will do the overview of Green Technology Acceptance as overall, means in many areas such as green transportation, green chemistry, green buildings, green procurements and few more. So, for this purpose the researcher choose to use the Scopus database to review on the past published studies on green technology fields. For this purpose, the Qualitative review has been done by the systematic review through the PRISMA Framework (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis). There are around 46 papers that had been selected in finals for this systematic literature review analysis. After follow the PRISMA Model to filter out the paper that suitable for this study, researcher is using the Microsoft Excels to do the descriptive analysis on year base publication, journal base, most cited by, theory utilised and subject areas. Besides that, researcher also focus on the methodology classification that had been use in the past studies. There are three main classifications which is Quantitative, Qualitative and Mixed Methods. There are around 26 paper used quantitative analysis method, 17 papers utilised qualitative method and 3 papers using mixed method. Mostly all this past study not including the latest branches of Green Technology such as green economies, green building and many more. As overall, researcher successfully using the PRISMA model to identified the suitable paper that being used in this papers.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Recent advances in green technology and Industrial Revolution 4.0 for a sustainable future

“…Various fields are now being utilized to reduce GHG emissions and hazardous waste production. This includes bio-based sustainability, green nanotechnology, green chemistry, green IT industry—cloud computing and data mining (Nazir 2021 ; Wang et al 2021a ). Many countries in Europe are coming up with an economic stimulus that aims to produce in a climate-friendly manner and increase the sorting and recycling of basic materials like aluminum, cement, and plastic (Chiappinelli et al 2021 ).…”

The impact of local government competition and green technology innovation on economic low-carbon transition: new insights from China

“…First, a definition is given to the green technology concept. The formal concept of green technology is derived from Braun and Wield’s ( 1994 ) definition, which considers green technology as a general term for processes and technologies that can minimize adverse environmental effects by saving resources, reducing pollution and carbon emissions, resulting in a natural link between green technology innovation and low-carbon development (Nazir, 2021 ). Later, scholars such as Rennings and Zwick ( 2002 ) incorporated sustainable development into their definition of green technology innovation and diversified its connotation.…”
