A study on digital-intelligence integration on synergy of pollution and carbon reduction in Fuzhou’s Private Enterprises

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the “dual carbon” goals and the rapid development of the digital economy, promoting synergies between pollution control and carbon emission reduction has become a key pathway to achieving green, high-quality development. Digital-intelligent integration, through the deep convergence of digital and intelligent technologies, provides new technical support for corporate green transformation and environmental governance.This paper takes private enterprises in Fuzhou as its research subjects. Based on the theoretical logic of digital-intelligent convergence and the synergistic effects of pollution control and carbon reduction, it analyzes the characteristics of digital-intelligent convergence in Fuzhou as well as changes in pollutant and carbon emission levels, and systematically explores the mechanism through which digital-intelligent convergence drives these synergistic effects.The study found that from 2011 to 2023, the level of digital-intelligent integration in Fuzhou showed an overall trend of continuous improvement, while pollutant and CO₂ emission levels generally declined, indicating a solid foundation for the integration of digital transformation and green development.Further analysis indicates that the integration of digital and intelligent technologies primarily drives synergistic benefits in pollution reduction and carbon emission reduction through pathways such as optimized resource allocation, green technological innovation, intelligent production processes, and coordinated environmental governance. Based on these findings, this paper proposes policy recommendations, including strengthening the construction of digital-intelligent infrastructure, improving the green technological innovation system, advancing digital environmental governance, and guiding private enterprises toward differentiated transformation, with the aim of providing a theoretical reference for the green and low-carbon development of local enterprises.
