New Energy Photovoltaic Bracket Foreign Trade

Can photovoltaic products boost China's economy?

As a crucial means of generating clean energy, photovoltaic products hold considerable development potential (Zhu et al., 2021), have even been identified by the National Development and Reform Commission’s Energy Research Institute as a crucial tool for stabilizing China’s foreign trade and boosting the economy.

What is the global PV trade based on?

The data on global PV trade used in this paper comes from the BACI-CEPII 2 Database, covering 251 global economies from 1996 to 2019. According to the division of the PV industry, the upstream is composed of crystalline silicon raw materials and the preparation of silicon rods and silicon wafers.

How can Green trade barriers help China's photovoltaic industry?

Policymakers should consider exchange rate levels, language environments, CO2 emissions and renewable energy consumption when formulating green trade barrier standards to better support the competitiveness and export growth of Chinese photovoltaic products in the international market.

How will removing the status quo trade barrier affect PV power production?

Removal of half of the 2017 status quo trade barrier on PV products will increase global cumulative (2017–2060) PV power production by 22,500.60 TWh, leading to an increase in the global cumulative net emissions reduction potential of 4.39–12.20 GtCO 2 e.

Should China optimize its TBT policies for photovoltaic products?

China should optimize its TBT (Technical Barriers to Trade) policies for photovoltaic products by enhancing product quality and technical standards to ensure compliance with international standards such as those established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Do Green trade barriers affect photovoltaic exports?

Specifically, green trade barriers have a positive impact on the export of photovoltaic products in countries with higher exchange rates and different official languages, whereas their impact is insignificant or negative in countries with lower exchange rates and the same official language.
