To promote low-carbon economic, China proposed building a green low-carbon circular development economic system. Green technology innovation is the essential core to promote green high-quality development, and is an important support to solve the realistic ecological environmental problems in our country. To study the influence mechanism of green technology innovation on regional carbon emission reduction, a fixed-effect model is constructed based on panel data from 30 provinces during 2011-2020, and this paper examines the mediating mechanism of energy efficiency. The results show that green technology innovation can significantly promote carbon emission reduction. Further research shows that green technology innovation can promote carbon emission reduction by improving energy efficiency.
