Asymmetric influence of digital finance, and renewable energy technology innovation on green growth in China

Asif Razzaq, Arshian Sharif, Ilhan Ozturk, Marinko Skare

Abstract

This study examines the influence of digital finance and renewable energy technology innovation (RETI) on green growth using Chinese regional data from 2007 to 2019. It applies Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR) to integrate asymmetric green growth patterns in China's prefecture-level regions. Moreover, the generalized method of moment (GMM) is used to address possible endogeneity between model variables. The results of MMQR reveal that digital finance stimulates green growth at middle to higher quantiles (4th to 6th), and central and eastern regions fall within these quantiles. In contrast, western regions have an insignificant impact as prescribed by lower quantiles (1st to 3rd). Similarly, RETI failed to increase the growth across lower to middle (1st to 6th) quantiles in western and central regions. However, the extremely high quantiles indicate a significantly positive connection, demonstrating that RETI contributes to green growth primarily in eastern regions. Moreover, the outcomes stated that government intervention significantly enhances green growth throughout quantiles. The results from GMM endorse a similar outcome, indicating that the marginal contribution of digital green finance towards green growth is more substantial in the eastern sub-sample, followed by central and western regions, respectively. Likewise, green growth is more responsive to changes in RETI in eastern and western regions. These results suggest that digital finance and RETI are imperative to ensure regional green growth; however, their marginal contribution should be improved in western and eastern regions.

China's New Plan for Renewable Energy Development Focuses on Consumption - Latest Publish date: 19 June, 2022

China's focus on consumption penetration for renewable energy development in its recently released 14th five-year plan - 2021 to 2025 - rather than capacity installations, should add flexibility in adding installations and alleviate curtailment risk, says Fitch Ratings.

China targets for renewables to supply 33% to national power consumption by 2025, and for non-hydro renewables to contribute 18%; the two consumption quota targets are 4.3pp and 3.6pp higher than 2021 levels, respectively. Correspondingly, China expects to increase annual renewable generation to 3,300 terawatt hours by 2025, implying a CAGR of 7%-8% in the next four years.

The 14th five-year plan does not specify a target for renewable power capacity, unlike previous plans. This should allow for more flexibility on annual capacity additions in 2022-2025, which can instead be driven by power demand growth and the power system's ability to consume the newly added installations.

Such flexibility in capacity installations should also alleviate curtailment risk from oversupply, supported by the fast development of storage systems, combined with the well-planned locations of new projects, including at large renewable bases that will contribute the majority of new installations under the plan. Most renewable bases will be located at load centres, such as Hebei and Shandong, or in desert and deserted areas, including those in Inner Mongolia and Gansu, where land is cheaper, renewable resources are abundant and UHV lines - which transmit power intra-provincially to specific load centres - are established or will become available.

New projects with grid offtakes can sell pre-agreed volume at fixed prices, but the amount of renewable power generated in excess of the offtake volume and projects without grid offtakes will be traded in the market. The 14th five-year plan encourages renewable generation companies and end-users to enter long-term contracts. Trading premiums are likely to occur in coastal regions, where renewable resources are limited, but demand for green energy is increasingly robust, while renewable power produced in provinces with excess supply may be traded at a discount.

We also expect stronger enforceability of the 14th five year plan, which was released by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), China's central regulator, jointly with eight central-government bodies, including the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of Housing and Rural-Urban Development and Ministry of Ecology and Environment, which are responsible for approving and facilitating the development of renewable projects or monitoring the consumption levels. Previous plans were normally introduced by NDRC alone.

We expect China to maintain strong renewable installation growth, despite the lack of capacity targets specified for end-2025. We estimate that China is likely to boost annual wind and solar power capacity by 100-110 gigawatts (GW) on average, assuming national power demand grows at a CAGR of 4.7% in the next four years. Our estimated capacity additions are comparable with the 103GW installed in 2021, but below the 2020 peak of 120GW. However, provincial and corporate level end-2025 targets, if added, suggest faster capacity additions. We thus expect capex and leverage at most state-owned power generation companies to stay high over the medium term.

For the first time, the five-year plan sets goals on the usage of non-power renewable energy, such as heating by solar, geothermal and biomass. This may encourage favourable policies on integrated energy and support the earnings of city-gas operators and national oil companies, which are becoming active in developing non-carbon energy businesses.

By accelerating its clean energy transition, China can secure major economic, innovation and employment benefits while helping the world move nearer to achieving shared climate goals.

China's remarkable economic growth over the past four decades has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, turning the country into a leader in many industries but also the world's largest carbon emitter, accounting for one-third of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. China provides more than half of the world's steel and cement, but the CO2 emissions from just those two sectors in China are higher than the European Union's total CO2 emissions.

China is aiming to reach a peak in its CO2 emissions before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060. The energy sector is the source of almost 90% of China's greenhouse gas emissions, putting energy policies at the heart of the country's transition to carbon neutrality. A new IEA report released today - An Energy Sector Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality in China - explores how China can reach its objectives while ensuring energy security and affordability for its citizens. It shows that the required investments are well within China's capacities, given the size and dynamism of its economy. The report responds to the Chinese government's invitation to the IEA to cooperate on long-term strategies.

"China is a clean energy powerhouse and has played a leading role in many of the world's success stories to date, from solar power to electric vehicles," said Fatih Birol, the IEA Executive Director. "China's efforts to achieve its ambition of carbon neutrality will result in even greater flourishing across a wider array of low-carbon technologies and a significant decline in fossil fuel use in the coming decades."

"However, the really uplifting news is that our new Roadmap shows China has the means and capabilities to accomplish an even faster clean energy transition that would result in greater social and economic benefits for the Chinese people and also increase the world's chances of limiting the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 °C," Dr Birol added. "This accelerated transition would put China's CO2 emissions into marked decline after 2025, opening up the possibility of China reaching carbon neutrality well before 2060. This would be both good for China and good for the world."

China has made notable progress in its clean energy transition, but it still faces some significant challenges. Coal accounts for over 60% of electricity generation, and China continues to build new coal power plants domestically. At the same time, China has added more solar power capacity than any other country year after year. It is the second largest oil consumer in the world, but it also home to 70% of global manufacturing capacity for electric vehicle batteries.

At the same time, reaching China's climate targets cannot rely solely on the rollout of renewables and electric vehicles. It will need to involve solutions to tackle emissions from its huge existing fleet of fossil fuel-based power plants, steel mills, cement kilns and other industrial facilities. If the existing emissions-intensive energy infrastructure in China continues to operate in the same way as it does today, its CO2 output between now and 2060 would amount to one-third of the global carbon budget for limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. This is aside from any new plants that may be built to meet growing demand.

The China Roadmap sets out a pathway consistent with the enhanced ambitions that China announced last year in which CO2 emissions reach a peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality is achieved before 2060. The main drivers of emissions reductions between now and 2030 in this pathway are energy efficiency improvements, expansion of renewables and a reduction in coal use. Electricity generation from renewables, mainly wind and solar PV, increases seven-fold between 2020 and 2060, accounting for almost 80% of China's power mix by then. Industrial CO2 emissions decline by nearly 95% by 2060, with the role of emerging innovative technologies, such as hydrogen and carbon capture, growing strongly after 2030. These changes will boost China's labour market, with more new jobs created in growing low-carbon energy technologies than are lost in declining fossil fuel industries.

The Roadmap also explores the opportunities for China to pursue - and benefit from - an even faster clean energy transition, which would result in China's CO2 emissions declining to almost 20% below their current level by 2030. On top of the major advantages that come from reducing the impact of climate change, the social and economic benefits include greater prosperity for regions that have not yet fully benefited from China's economic development and a bigger net gain in job creation nationwide. And investment needs are not a barrier for the faster transition, since the cumulative investments are similar to those in the slower one.

"This Roadmap shows what is possible: China has a clear pathway to build a more sustainable, secure and inclusive energy future," Dr Birol said. "As China makes some important decisions in the coming weeks and months, the IEA is pleased to share our analysis and global expertise with Chinese policy makers so that together we can help build a brighter future. I also welcome President Xi Jinping's announcement last week that China will stop building coal power plants overseas as a further positive step towards curbing global emissions."
