Reducing carbon emissions is a common global goal, impacting not only climate change but also various industries. Many countries worldwide have implemented policies and measures to reduce carbon emissions, employing industrial transformation and upgrading or emerging technologies to better achieve their carbon reduction targets. Manufacturing has consistently been a high-carbon-emission sector, and the effectiveness of manufacturing enterprises in reducing emissions directly affects a country's carbon reduction goals. Therefore, this paper proposes the hypothesis that intelligent manufacturing can reduce corporate carbon intensity and verifies this hypothesis through empirical research.
