Background

Green economic development refers to reducing pollution emissions and increasing production efficiency while promoting economic growth. Although the renewable energy consumption is “green,” it may not promote green economic development due to the constraints of existing technical conditions. Therefore, the technological advancement approach that can help coordinate the relationship between renewable energy consumption and green economic development should be identified. That is, determining whether to develop new technologies or improve existing technologies should be paid more attention in the context of continuous increase in renewable energy consumption.

Results

(1) The inverted N-shaped relationship between renewable energy consumption and green economic development under the existing technical conditions. The degree of renewable energy consumption can merely promote green economic development in the interval of 0.67–10.87. That is, the renewable energy consumption (% of total energy consumption) is less than 0.67% or greater than 10.87%, which is not conducive to green economic development. (2) Developing new technologies can stimulate the positive effect of renewable energy consumption on green economic development. However, the improvement of existing technologies fails to exhibit an effective impact on the relationship between renewable energy consumption and green economic development. (3) Coordinating the relationship between renewable energy consumption and green economic development can also be achieved by reducing the dependence of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on fossil fuels. (4) The stage of economic development might impact the effect of renewable energy on green economic development.

Conclusions

It is particularly important to improve technological innovation capabilities, especially in countries with a high proportion of renewable energy consumption. In addition, the government should guide the funds and resources to the renewable energy industry through the credit rationing system to promote the transition of the industrial structure to an environmentally friendly direction. For countries with relatively low levels of economic development, this does not mean that these countries should reduce their demand for renewable energy. Instead, these countries need to take more proactive measures, such as increasing technological innovation capabilities and optimizing industrial structure to coordinate the relationship between renewable energy consumption and green economic development.

如何协调可再生能源消耗与绿色经济发展之间的关系：从技术进步的角度

背景

绿色经济发展是指在促进经济增长的同时减少污染排放并提高生产效率。尽管可再生能源消费是“绿色”的，但由于现有技术条件的限制，它可能不会促进绿色经济的发展。因此，应确定可帮助协调可再生能源消耗与绿色经济发展之间关系的技术进步方法。即，在不断增加可再生能源消耗的背景下，应该更加重视确定是开发新技术还是改进现有技术。

结果

（1）在现有技术条件下，可再生能源消费与绿色经济发展之间呈倒N型关系。可再生能源消耗的程度只能促进0.67-10.87的绿色经济发展。即可再生能源消耗（占总能源消耗的百分比）小于0.67％或大于10.87％，不利于绿色经济发展。（2）开发新技术可以刺激可再生能源消费对绿色经济发展的积极影响。但是，现有技术的改进未能对可再生能源消耗与绿色经济发展之间的关系产生有效影响。（3）通过减少国内生产总值（GDP）对化石燃料的依赖，也可以协调可再生能源消耗与绿色经济发展之间的关系。（4）经济发展阶段可能会影响可再生能源对绿色经济发展的影响。

结论

提高技术创新能力尤其重要，特别是在可再生能源消耗比例很高的国家。此外，政府应通过信贷配给制度引导资金和资源用于可再生能源行业，以促进产业结构向环保方向的转变。对于经济发展水平相对较低的国家，这并不意味着这些国家应减少对可再生能源的需求。相反，这些国家需要采取更加积极的措施，例如提高技术创新能力和优化产业结构，以协调可再生能源消耗与绿色经济发展之间的关系。
