本研究は、再生可能エネルギー技術革新（RETI）がEU諸国の温室効果ガス排出削減に与える影響を、2000年から2023年のパネルデータを用いて分析。結果、RETIは高排出状況で特に顕著な削減効果を持つが、低排出状況では効果が弱く、構造的要因の重要性が示された。
English
This study examines the impact of renewable energy technology innovation (RETI) on greenhouse gas emissions in 14 EU countries from 2000-2023 using panel data and quantile regression. It finds that RETI significantly reduces emissions in high-emission contexts but has weak effects in low-emission contexts, highlighting structural dependencies.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT The persistence of carbon‐intensive development pathways continues to hinder progress towards climate neutrality, especially in regions where industrial legacies, infrastructural inertia, and institutional rigidities reinforce emissions. This study examines whether renewable energy technologies innovation (RETI) can help European Union countries escape such regional carbon traps. Using panel data for 14 EU countries from 2000 to 2023, the analysis applies an extended STIRPAT framework with pooled OLS and quantile regression to capture heterogeneity across the emissions distribution. The results show that RETI has an uneven effect on greenhouse gas emissions. Although the average impact is modest, renewable innovation significantly reduces emissions in high‐emission contexts, with stronger effects at the upper quantiles. By contrast, its influence is weak in low‐emission contexts, suggesting transition frictions and uneven innovation pathways. Structural conditions remain central to emissions outcomes. Industrial composition and population consistently increase emissions, while manufacturing capital renewal reduces them, particularly in carbon‐intensive settings, highlighting the importance of replacing obsolete capital stock. Labour productivity, however, remains positively associated with emissions, indicating that productivity gains are still embedded in carbon‐intensive production systems. The findings also show that exchange‐rate dynamics weaken the emissions‐reducing effect of RETI, reflecting dependence on global supply chains and external macroeconomic conditions. Overall, decarbonisation is territorially uneven and structurally constrained. Renewable innovation can support transition, but only when combined with structural transformation, capital upgrading, and coherent institutional support.
