日本語
本研究は、1990年から2021年までのアフリカ諸国を対象に、グリーンイノベーション、クリーンエネルギー、エネルギー生産性が生態学的持続可能性（負荷容量係数で測定）に与える影響を分析。最先端のモーメント量子回帰を用いた結果、グリーン技術の効果は限定的だが、エネルギー生産性とクリーンエネルギーは環境悪化を緩和することを確認。再生可能エネルギーとグリーン技術の相互作用は低分位で生態学的改善に寄与し、SDG-7達成への示唆を提供。
English
This study examines the synergistic effects of green innovation, clean energy, and energy productivity on ecological sustainability (measured by load capacity factor) in African countries from 1990 to 2021. Using method of moments quantile regression, it finds that green technologies have minimal beneficial effects, while energy productivity and clean energy mitigate ecological degradation. The interaction of renewable energy and green technologies reduces degradation at lower quantiles, supporting SDG-7 and ecological sustainability goals.

日本のGX文脈において
アフリカを対象とした実証研究であり、日本のGX政策や開示基準（SSBJなど）への直接的な関連性は低い。ただし、クリーンエネルギーとエネルギー生産性の重要性を示す点で、日本のエネルギー転換政策への間接的な示唆となる可能性がある。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence on the role of clean energy and energy productivity in ecological sustainability, relevant to global discussions on energy transition and SDG-7. While focused on Africa, its findings on the limited impact of green innovation alone and the importance of energy productivity offer insights for developing countries and international climate policy.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT Previous studies have highlighted innovation and clean energy use as critical mechanisms for fostering ecological sustainability but have ignored the possible effect of energy productivity. An empirical study that offers evidence‐based policy recommendations on the joint impact of green innovation, clean energy, and energy productivity, as measured by the load capacity factor (LCF), to bolster Africa's ecological sustainability is rare. To fill this gap, this study investigates the synergistic dynamic effects of green innovation, clean energy, and energy productivity on Africa's LCF from 1990 to 2021, while controlling for economic growth. Results from cutting‐edge, intriguing momentum quantile regression (MMQR) indicate that green technologies had minimal beneficial ecological effects across the selected African countries. The asymmetric link between economic growth and ecological sustainability exhibits an inverted‐U‐shaped pattern across the African countries analyzed. The results also show that energy productivity, clean energy, and resource efficiency all mitigate the ecological deterioration impact. Additionally, the interaction between renewable energy and green technologies appeared to reduce ecological degradation (Q10 and Q25), reinforcing the relevance of clean energy transition and green technologies upgrade as a fundamental milestone for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG‐7) and ecological sustainability. The findings offer substantial insights that could guide policymakers and authorities on how to develop sound policies and strategies to improve ecological sustainability in Africa.
