“…To ensure the reliability and accuracy of the research results, this paper draws on previous research literature and puts other factors that may have an impact on carbon emissions into the regression model, mainly including level of income, government expenditure, density of population, level of foreign trade and industrial structure (Cutcu et al, 2022;Dong et al, 2022;Xie, 2022;Yi et al, 2022;Cheng et al, 2023). The level of income (Incom) is expressed in terms of disposable income per inhabitant.…”

With the proposal of “Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality” goals, China is facing a more serious carbon emissions reduction situation, and how the booming digital economy effectively helps China’s carbon emissions reduction is one of the most urgent things that should be solved. To study the impact of the digital economy on carbon emission intensity, this paper is based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China (excluding Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) from 2011 to 2021, and applies the double-fixed effect model and the threshold effect model to study the impact of the digital economy on carbon emission intensity and the mechanism of its action, as well as to analyze the mechanism of the digital economy’s action on carbon emission intensity from the perspective of technological innovation. The results of the study show that: i) The digital economy can reduce the intensity of regional carbon emissions; ii) The carbon emission reduction effect of the digital economy is non-linear, and its carbon emission reduction effect gradually increases with the level of development of the digital economy; iii) In addition to the direct impact of the digital economy on carbon emission intensity, it also has an indirect impact on carbon emissions through technological innovation; iv) There is regional heterogeneity in the carbon emission reduction effect of the digital economy, and the carbon emission reduction effect is more significant in the central and western parts of the country and regions with a high level of human capital development. Based on the conclusions obtained, this paper suggests: i) The rational integration of the digital economy and regional development should be strengthened; ii) Strong provinces in the digital economy should be encouraged to help weaker provinces, to narrow the “digital divide” between provinces; iii) Differentiated development strategies should be formulated in accordance with local conditions, to give full play to the optimal effect of the digital economy in carbon emission reduction.

“…Therefore, the aim of On the other hand, it is important for Romanian entrepreneurs to diversify their portfolio regarding green energy and to give greater importance to the environment. Civil society is becoming more and more aware of the negative impact that pollution has, and they tend to appreciate and collaborate more with entrepreneurs educated in the spirit of eco-friendly decisions [6]. Also, Cutcu et al [7] argued that quality of life is affected by the harmful effects of industrialization, even if it leads to economic growth and commercial openness.…”

Renewable energy is produced from natural sources that can regenerate quickly, such as the sun, wind, water, biomass and the earth’s heat. This implies that the resources used do not have a significant negative impact on the environment, which aligns with current concerns for protecting the planet and ecosystems. This study aims to explore the behavior of entrepreneurs regarding the processing of resources that can be introduced in the circular economy and the development of the renewable energy portfolio by transforming horse manure into bioenergy. Employing Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and based on an extensive dataset comprising 104 responses from entrepreneurs engaged in or aspiring to participate in the renewable energy sector, this research reveals a noteworthy finding. Contrary to prevailing expectations, it demonstrates that the perceived interest in safeguarding future resources and the environment among these entrepreneurs is currently low. This study not only enriches the understanding of entrepreneurial behavior within the renewable energy domain but also extends the Theory of Planned Behavior. In doing so, it underscores the critical significance of sustainability factors as drivers of future business development and underscores the need for comprehensive policy initiatives that compel greater commitment to renewable energy and circular economy practices.
