But also, it holds potential offer a feasible solution for achieving green sustainable development. This paper investigates impact Fintech on corporate carbon emissions (CCEs) by using data from National Tax Survey Database (NTSD). The results suggest that development leads reduction in CCEs. Our findings remain robust even after instrumental variable approach alleviate endogeneity problems. mechanism analysis reveals reduces CCEs via alleviating financing constraints, improving energy efficiency, promoting innovation. Heterogeneity demonstrates dramatically decreases coal consumption, while increasing consuming power gas energy. Additionally, state‐owned foreign companies experience more pronounced through compared those private firms. Furthermore, firms eastern middle regions are vulnerable Moreover, enterprises non‐high‐tech industries high‐polluting exhibit noteworthy performance reducing adoption. research offers policymakers path effectively govern achieve their targets.

Regional green technology innovation (RGTI) carries ecological and technological externalities, serving as a crucial force in aligning economic development with the imperative of environmental preservation. Industrial digitalization (indig) exhibits innovative, quality-enhancing, efficiency-enhancing traits. Yet, exact effects indig on RGTI have not been extensively studied. In this study, based provincial data from 2013-2019 China, we investigated linear nonlinear relationships, spatial characteristics underlying mechanisms between through Hansen threshold model mediating effect model. The results showed that: i. fluctuates while increases steadily, both displaying evident agglomeration traits unipolar characteristic regional heterogeneity; ii. has effectively boosted at national levels, exception northeastern region; iii. There was single for industrial positive driving trend exhibited "marginally increasing" characteristic; iv.
