Abstract: Due to rapid economic growth and a high population, China is the largest energy user and CO₂ emitter. This research examines China's renewable energy (RE) use and its relationship to CO₂ emissions, industrial waste (IW), NRE, and ICT consumption. ARDL estimation was used to determine the long-term co-integration of variables for the data from 2000 to 2022 of China. The study output shows that ICT and NRE have a significant negative relationship with REC, and a 1% increase in ICT and NRE will respond to a decrease of 1.18% and 1.005% in REC. Furthermore, CO₂ has a positive relation with REC, and a 1% increase in CO₂ will result in an upsurge of 2.98% in REC. According to robustness check through FMOLS and DOLS estimators, empirical evidence shows there is a significant effect at a 5% level of significance of the variables NRE, IW, ICT CO₂ on REC in China in the long-run.
