“…In some cases, the companies may focus on R&D to create innovations by taking certain risks due to more industrial competition, leading to reduced considerations toward GTI. So, it will be better to reduce their risk-taking tendencies and increase GTI activity (Yan et al 2021 ). If GT is effectively used, the GT Innovation Efficiency (GTIE) will increase, leading the global value chain in a positive direction, one of the ways to increase sustainable economic growth (Kansara et al 2021 ).…”

This review gives concise information on green technology (GT) and Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0). Climate change has begun showing its impacts on the environment, and the change is real. The devastating COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected lives and the world from the deadly consequences at a social, economic, and environmental level. In order to balance this crisis, there is a need to transition toward green, sustainable forms of living and practices. We need green innovative technologies (GTI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to develop green, durable, biodegradable, and eco-friendly products for a sustainable future. GTI encompasses all innovations that contribute to developing significant products, services, or processes that lower environmental harm, impact, and worsening while augmenting natural resource utilization. Sensors are typically used in IoT environmental monitoring applications to aid ecological safety by nursing air or water quality, atmospheric or soil conditions, and even monitoring species’ movements and habitats. The industries and the governments are working together, have come up with solutions—the Green New Deal, carbon pricing, use of bio-based products as biopesticides, in biopharmaceuticals, green building materials, bio-based membrane filters for removing pollutants, bioenergy, biofuels and are essential for the green recovery of world economies. Environmental biotechnology, Green Chemical Engineering, more bio-based materials to separate pollutants, and product engineering of advanced materials and environmental economies are discussed here to pave the way toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN and achieve the much-needed IR 4.0 for a greener-balanced environment and a sustainable future.

“…Energy intensity not only puts higher pressures on economic resources but also traps the country in environmental pollution (Fan et al, 2007). As GPcI consumes less energy, it translates into fewer energy costs and higher profits for the firm (Yan et al, 2021). The use of GPcI thus has the potential to increase energy efficiency in an economy while reducing the total energy requirements, thereby leading to increased savings (Y. Chen et al, 2016).…”

Green process innovation: Where we are and where we are going

Environmental pollution has worsened in the past few decades, and increasing pressure is being put on firms by different regulatory bodies, customer groups, NGOs and other media outlets to adopt green process innovations (GPcIs), which include clean technologies and end-of-pipe solutions. Although considerable studies have been published on GPcI, the literature is disjointed, and as such, a comprehensive understanding of the issues, challenges and gaps is lacking. A systematic literature review (SLR) involving 80 relevant studies was conducted to extract seven themes: strategic response, organisational learning, institutional pressures, structural issues, outcomes, barriers and methodological choices. The review thus highlights the various gaps in the GPcI literature and illuminates the pathways for future research by proposing a series of potential research questions. This study is of vital importance to business strategy as it provides a comprehensive framework to help firms understand the various contours of GPcI. Likewise, policymakers can use the findings of this study to fill in the loopholes in the existing regulations that firms are exploiting to circumvent taxes and other penalties by locating their operations to emerging economies with less stringent environmental regulations.clean technology, end-of-pipe solutions, green innovations, green process innovation, systematic literature review | INTRODUCTIONNations around the globe have prioritised economic and industrial growth over the past few decades, often at the expense of the environment. This growth has mainly relied on conventional technologies, which suffer from inefficient energy consumption and severe greenhouse emissions and thus lead to global warming (J. Dai et al., 2015).Per the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global warming increases the intensity of extreme weather changes, which causes a rise in the sea level and the melting of glaciers, thereby threatening the existence of life on earth (IPCC, 2013). There is thus a dire need to switch from fossil fuel-led energy-inefficient technologies to focus more on clean and green technologies that are not only energy efficient but also help in pollution and emission reduction in the production processes (Erzurumlu & Erzurumlu, 2013). Furthermore, while green technologies have the ability to control the emission of greenhouse gases into the environment, they also have the potential to address the dilemma of economic growth. Given that governments are less willing to adopt alternative technologies if they compromise their economic and industrial growth, green technologies are particularly promising as they help in energy efficiency and emission reduction at the same time (N. Zhang, Liu, et al., 2017).

Rural depopulation on agricultural technological choice in China

Rural depopulation is an inevitable trend due to urbanization and industrial development, and it is a common phenomenon in industrialized countries. The classic theory of induced technological innovation proposed by HAYAMI & RUTTAN (1971) explains the change in agricultural technology during the process of rural depopulation. This paper tests the Hayami-Ruttan induced technological innovation theory from the perspective of agricultural technology choice in the process of rural depopulation. We sort out the influence mechanism of rural depopulation on the choice of agricultural technology from four aspects, namely, factor substitution effect, demand scale effect, conditional bottleneck effect, and agricultural comparative benefit. Using the difference between the rural registered population and the permanent population, we comprehensively compiled the data on the net outflow rate of the rural population from 2005 to 2018 in 313 prefecture-level cities, and reach conclusions through panel regression. The results showed that rural depopulation is not necessarily conducive to labor-saving technological choices, but is conducive to the land-saving technological choice. However, rural depopulation promotes labor-saving technological choices when the population reaches a certain level. The conclusion is not completely consistent with the theory of Hayami-Ruttan, it reflects an idiographic feature of the Chinese environment.
