摘要

Green technology is pivotal for addressing global challenges such as climate change. It emphasizes the acquisition of solutions that are environmentally friendly, resource-efficient, and sustainable in the long term. Therefore, this study examines the role of integrating ICT trade with renewable energy consumption (REC) in promoting green technology through green growth, technology diffusion, and energy transition theories, thereby reducing ecological pollution (CO2, N2O, and CH4 emissions). Using panel data from 2000 to 2020 across BRICS nations, this study analyzes linear, nonlinear, and mediating effects at both group and country-specific levels using Canonical Correlation Regression (CCR) and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS). The group-level analysis reveals that the ICT trade significantly intensifies N2O and CH4 emissions. However, integrating the ICT trade and the REC significantly decreases N₂O and CH4 emissions. Conversely, the interplay of ICT trade and REC reveals an inverted U-shaped link with N₂O and CH₄ emissions. The mediating effect after introducing government effectiveness and environmental policies as mediators persisted reliably with the results of the linear effect; however, environmental policies showed a more robust mediator in mitigating environmental pollution. Finally, at the country-specific level, ICT trade and REC individually increase N₂O and CH₄ emissions in Brazil, Russia, and South Africa; however, synergizing ICT trade and REC mitigate N₂O and CH₄ emissions.
