Abstract: Faced with the deterioration of the environment and resource shortages, countries have turned their attention to renewable energy and have actively researched and applied renewable energy. At present, a large number of studies have shown that renewable energy can effectively improve the environment and control the reduction of resources. However, there are few studies on how renewable energy improves the environment through its influencing factors. Therefore, this paper mainly analyses the relationship between wind energy and carbon emissions in renewable energy and uses Chinese data as an example for the case analysis. Based on the model and test methods, this paper uses the 1990–2018 data from the China Energy Statistical Yearbook to study and analyse the correlation between wind energy and carbon emissions and finally gives suggestions for wind energy development based on environmental improvements.
