Research on the Threshold Effect of Green Technology Innovation on Fog–Haze Pollution in the Transfer of Air Pollution-Intensive Industries: A Perspective of Thermal Power

Green technology innovation can effectively reduce the problem of pollution transfer in air pollution-intensive industries like thermal power and realize the green development of air pollution-intensive industries like thermal power. Based on green technology innovation, this paper analyzes the spatial–temporal characteristics of fog–haze in 31 provinces and municipalities. Taking the panel data of 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions from 2000 to 2017 as samples, this paper adopts the panel threshold regression method to examine the relationship between green technology innovation and fog–haze pollution in the transfer of air pollution-intensive industries like thermal power. The study found the following: China’s haze outbreak and the subsequent increasingly serious reasons for the implementation of weight detection haze policy seriously misled the haze prevention and control work, simple disorganized management aggravated the degree of haze pollution, and layer by layer, management methods caused the huge increase in secondary particulate matter; haze pollution aggregation occurs in the area of environmental self-purification capacity in the low air pollution-intensive industrial agglomeration to affect the atmospheric environment, a significant increase in the neighbouring industrial pollution agglomeration in resource-rich provinces; green technology innovation above the threshold has a significant inhibitory effect on the industrial transfer of haze pollution, and so on. There is a need for the scientific planning of pollution industry transfer to undertake the development of the place, the effective transfer of Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei haze pollution and other areas of air pollution-intensive industries, the development of targeted green technology innovation to strengthen policies, the scientific management of haze pollution, and the contribution of the scientific management of haze pollution in China.
