“…Taken together, the results indicate that digital technology is capable of improving the carbon performance of firms by enhancing green innovation; thus Hypothesis 2 is confirmed. This is consistent with Dong et al (2023) and Zhang et al (2019) on the ability of green innovation to solve environmental problems in enterprises.…”

“…Others have investigated the mechanisms through which digital technology impacts carbon emissions, among which are industrial structure (Zeng and Yang, 2023) and improvements in energy efficiency and green technology innovation capacity . Most research affirms the ability of green innovation to solve corporate environmental problems (Hojnik and Ruzzier, 2016b;Song and Yu, 2018;Dong et al, 2023), indicating that it can indirectly contribute to carbon performance by improving economic efficiency through the optimization of factors such as allocation (Deng et al, 2019) and cost reduction (Peng et al, 2020). However, others have pointed out that the rebound effect of green innovation can lead to an increase in net carbon emissions (Li et al, 2020) due to factors such as the potential hindrance of cost pressure during the investment process (Habiba et al, 2022).…”

With the continuous promotion of digitalization and the global trend toward a low-carbon economy, the issue of whether enterprises can enhance their carbon performance with the assistance of digital technology has aroused widespread attention from both academia and industry. In order to explore whether digital technology can improve the carbon performance of manufacturing enterprises, this study, based on resource orchestration theory and signaling theory, utilizes data from China’s A-share manufacturing enterprises from 2012 to 2021 to empirically investigate the relationship between digital technology and the carbon performance of manufacturing firms. It also explores the mediating conduction path and boundary influencing factors between them. Its findings demonstrate that: digital technology is capable of improving carbon performance; green innovation (including green technology and green collaboration) has partially mediating effects; there is a catalytic role for environmental information disclosure in utilizing digital technology to enhance carbon performance. Building on this, we find that the impacts of digital technology, green innovation, and environmental information disclosure on carbon performance vary due to differences in the nature of industries and the strategic aggressiveness of enterprises. Specifically, the role of digital technology on carbon performance seems somewhat more pronounced among firms in the high-tech industry and those employing defensive and analytical strategies. Additionally, the effects generated by green innovation and environmental information are more pronounced in the high-tech industry and among enterprises that adopt analytical strategies. This study reveals the inherent mechanism of digital technology in enhancing the carbon performance of manufacturing enterprises, which provides empirical evidence for the development of digital technology and the improvement of carbon performance in manufacturing enterprises, thus helping promote low-carbon economic transformation.

“…Indirectly, such data may help individuals raise their awareness about protecting the environment. Researchers have also focused on exploring the causes of air pollution and revealed that air quality can be improved through several factors such as green innovation (Dong et al, 2023) and political cycle (Shao and Chou, 2023). Several solutions have been proposed to reduce air pollution, such as using electric vehicles, walking, and cycling (Johansson et al, 2017).…”

Financial inclusion enables greater access to financial resources and facilitates green energy investments, thus emerging as a potential avenue to mitigate pollution. However, the relationship between financial inclusion and environmental impact is complex, with arguments both for and against its positive effects. This study aims to examine the impact of financial inclusion and digital financial inclusion on air quality in thirteen selected Asian countries. The dependent variables used in this study was the Air Quality Index (AQI). The independent variables were financial inclusion, digital financial inclusion, population growth, net trade of goods and services and gross domestic product (GDP). The findings showed that the proxies of financial inclusion had mix effects on air quality, while a higher level of digital financial inclusion led to a better air quality in Asian countries. This study also revealed that population growth and GDP may somehow affect the air quality of Asian countries as well. These results suggest that Asian countries with lower level of financial inclusion and digital financial inclusion need to improve their citizen’s access to financial resources. Several policies shall be implemented to enhance the level of financial inclusion and the air quality.

“…All this is closely related to the development of the global economy and industrial progress, the severity of air pollution in urban areas is increasing (Dong et al, 2023;Liu et al, 2020;Yu et al, 2022). If we look further, Indonesia itself is also facing high levels of air pollution, which greatly threatens our lives and other living things (Mirawati et al, 2016;WHO, 2021).…”

According to the WHO data in 2019, nearly all of the global population resides in areas that do not meet the WHO guidelines for air quality. This study is to address the issue of indoor air pollution through the use of Photobioreactor technology and Hydrilla Verticillata plants. The experimental findings demonstrate that the rate of photosynthesis and production of oxygen bubbles by the Hydrilla plants are significantly influenced by adequate light intensity and exposure to CO2. By employing this innovative Photobioreactor technology, it is anticipated that indoor air quality can be enhanced, thereby contributing to the resolution of air pollution problems. This research adopts a combination of descriptive and experimental methods, utilizing a prototype scale for conducting experiments. Secondary data, in the form of published scientific articles from both international and national journals, serve as the source of data. The collected data is then qualitatively analyzed through descriptive means. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that this research offers valuable insights into the use of Hydrilla plants in innovative technologies for the improvement of air quality and human health, particularly by implementing photosynthesis processes within Photobioreactor technology.
