The evaluation of the contribution of consumption-based carbon (CBCO) emissions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is crucially important for the design of sustainable environmental policies. Despite its importance, attention to the discussion of the role of environment-related technologies (ERT) in abating CBCO emission is limited. The role of ERT and renewable energy in reducing carbon emissions is investigated in a panel of seven emerging economies during 1990-2016 in the 'Environment Kuznets Curve (EKC)' framework. Cross-sectional dependence test, CIPS unit root test, Westerlund co-integration, and cross-sectional augmented autoregressive distributive lag econometric techniques are employed to support the propositions. Findings suggest the supportive role of environment-related technologies in the presence of renewable energy in reducing carbon emissions. However, GDP growth is substantially worsening the environment. The findings indicate the need to increase investment in environment-related technologies by the E-7 economies for a sustainable reduction in CB CO emissions.
基于消费的碳（CBCO）排放对温室气体（GHG）排放的贡献评估对于可持续环境政策的制定至关重要。尽管如此，对于环境相关技术（ERT）在减少 CBCO 排放方面的作用的讨论却很少受到关注。本研究在“环境库兹涅茨曲线（EKC）”框架内，利用 1990-2016 年七个新兴经济体的面板数据，探讨了ERT 和可再生能源在减少碳排放方面的作用。采用横截面相关性检验、CIPS 单位根检验、Westerlund 协整检验和横截面扩展自回归分布滞后计量经济学技术来支持这些命题。研究结果表明，在存在可再生能源的情况下，环境相关技术对减少碳排放具有支持作用。然而，GDP 增长对环境造成了严重的负面影响。研究结果表明，E-7 经济体需要增加对环境相关技术的投资，以实现可持续减少 CBCO 排放。
