Exploring the role of energy transition in shaping the CO2 emissions pattern in China’s power sector
2025
Overview
In this study, an improved gravity model and social network analysis (SNA) are applied to analysis CO

emissions in China’s power sector, uniquely incorporating electricity and fossil fuel trade flows. It further explores the dynamic effect of energy transition on networks using a panel model, and clarifies the provincial roles in emission abatement and resource allocation. According to the findings, significant regional heterogeneities in CO

emissions from 2007 to 2022 can be observed. Coal-dependent provinces, such as Inner Mongolia and Shanxi, face high emissions and challenging transitions, while developed areas such as Beijing and Shanghai have decreased emissions through clean energy integration and enhanced power efficiency. Network analysis identifies Beijing and Jiangsu as central to resource management, empowered by robust policy and information-sharing capabilities, while most provinces demonstrate weaker coordination owing to constrained intermediary functions. In addition, the study observes that energy transitions increase network density (0.3512) and contacts (0.3545) yet decrease efficiency (− 0.1464), suggesting technical and coordinative obstacles. An increasing degree of transition strengthens interprovincial CO

connections, establishing provinces experiencing more rapid transitions as critical nodes. Greater closeness centrality (0.0186) signifies shorter collaborative pathways, accelerating the transition. These findings derive practical guidance for regional power collaborations and sustainable growth, offering novel perspectives for a green transition toward carbon neutrality.
