“…1 (Es) China's industrial development is ruled by coal-based energy consumption structure, which not only consumes a considerable amount of fossil energy but also emits harmful substances into the environment (Ran et al 2023). It is essential to transform this energy structure to ensure sustainable development (Hao et al 2023).…”

As China’s digital transformation accelerates, there is growing interest in whether the digital economy can effectively boost green innovation in industrial enterprises and enable China’s development to break through the constraints of resources and environment. Therefore, this study analyzes the data of A-share industrial listed enterprises (2011–2020). Results indicate that the digital economy promotes green innovation. The impact of the digital economy on green innovation varies significantly among different types of enterprises, with stronger effects on state-owned enterprises. Digital economy enhances green innovation via boosting public attention and optimizing energy structure. Therefore, playing the role of monitoring public attention, and optimizing energy use are key strategies to promote corporate green innovation.

“…Green technology innovation incorporated into the production process can optimize the supply and demand structure of traditional production elements, including land, labor, and capital, thus improving the return per unit of production factors (Chen et al 2023). Utilizing green innovation technologies to enhance production and operation processes can significantly increase the marginal conversion rate of production factors and the return on investment (Ran et al 2023). Green technology innovation provides technological support for urban environmental protection supervision and the scientific management of pollution, reducing environmental losses in land use by reducing the consumption of traditional resources and reducing the pressure on ecological and environmental systems.…”

Improving urban land green use efficiency (ULGUE) is essential for achieving the sustainable use of land resources and the high-quality economic development of cities. The digital economy has overcome spatial and locational constraints, blurred the boundaries between industries, and created a collaborative and open economic model, inevitably affecting urban land utilization. However, whether the digital economy will affect ULGUE and how such an effect would take place are still unclear. This study evaluates the digital economy and ULGUE of Chinese cities from 2011 to 2019 and systematically analyzes both the direct and indirect impact mechanisms through which the digital economy affects ULGUE. The results show that the digital economy can significantly enhance ULGUE, and these results prove to be reliable, as shown by various endogeneity treatments and robustness tests. The digital economy enhances ULGUE by optimizing the industrial structure (structural effect), increasing green technology innovation (technical effect), and agglomerating digital talent (scale effect). Moreover, land finance dependency plays an adverse moderating role in the relationship between the digital economy and ULGUE. Further heterogeneity analysis shows that the promoting effect of the digital economy on ULGUE takes full effect in the eastern cities, larger cities, and cities with high levels of digital economy development and land marketization. This paper presents recommendations for supporting the balanced and integrated development of the digital economy across regions and provides differentiated development strategies to enhance ULGUE in the context of digitization.

“…Digital technology is the core of digital green integrated development of manufacturing industry. On one hand, it possesses a clean property that enables significant reduction in resource and energy consumption, thereby facilitating the green manufacturing (Ran et al, 2023). Alternatively, digital technology can promote the optimization of production factor structure, stimulate the research and development and application of greenoriented technology, so as to promote the development of manufacturing industry towards the direction of improving environmental quality (Zhang et al,2023b).…”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;">The manufacturing sector must incorporate digitalization and greening as crucial strategies to attain high level of development in the context of the digital economy, given its significant role in quality of environment. Most of existing studies explore net effect of a single or several factors on the digitalization or greening in the manufacturing industry. Limited investigation has been done to integrate various factors impacting the connection and synchronized advancement of digitalization and greening within the manufacturing. Factors affecting the synergy of digitalization and green change within manufacturing are recognized in this article, and a theoretical framework is established to analyze. FsQCA tool is also put into use to survey configurational cases, which contains synergy degree of green digitalization from 30 provinces’ manufacturing in China. Results show that: (1) Between 2007 and 2020, the development level of digital-green integration in the manufacturing industry shows an upward trend. There are three types of collaborative modes, namely, "industrial robot driven" "market development driven" and "market development driven - industrial robot driven", with each mode consisting of at least one to four equivalent pathways. (2) The marketization level and application of industrial robots are the important external and internal pulling forces that drive the synergy degree of digitalization and green change within manufacturing industry, respectively.(3) The influencing factors of the collaborative mode choice of digital-green development within manufacturing industry are complementary, among which, the degree of marketization is similar to the role of industrial robots in the configuration, which are capable to weaken the negative impact from insufficient government R&D investment support under specific conditions; (4) The non-high collaborative state of digital green in manufacturing industry is mainly due to the low level of marketization, openness, and economic development, as well as the low application rate of industrial robots and software products. This study enriches the theoretical understanding on digitalization and green change of manufacturing industry. Meanwhile, it also provides insights to advance the integrated and synergistic advancement of digital green transformation in manufacturing practice.</span></p>
