摘要

This paper aims to explore the synergistic effects of pollution reduction and carbon mitigation in China's industrial sector and their influencing pathways. Based on data from 38 industrial sectors in China from 2009 to 2021, a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) was employed for empirical analysis. The study reveals the following findings: (1) Atmospheric pollutants and carbon emissions are predominantly concentrated in the non-metallic mineral products industry, the smelting and pressing of ferrous metals industry, and the production and supply of electricity and heat. (2) From 2009 to 2021, the synergies of air pollution and carbon reduction (SACR) in the industrial sector has declined, transitioning from a highly coupled state to a growing coupling state, with significant variations observed across different industries. (3) Energy consumption and environmental inputs directly promote the SACR, while capital investment exerts an inhibitory effect. (4) Structural adjustments in scale and technological progress indirectly enhance the SACR by optimizing energy usage, whereas capital investment indirectly improves the SACR by increasing environmental inputs. Based on the findings, this study proposes policy recommendations such as energy structure adjustment, industrial structure optimization, and differentiated strategies to promote the synergistic effect of pollution reduction and carbon mitigation in the industrial sector.
