There　is　a　consensus　among　the　empirics　regarding　the　positive　role　of　renewable　energy　in　mitigating　the　effects　of　climate　change.　Hence,　it　is　vital　to　search　for　the　factors　that　can　promote　renewable　energy　demand.　As　a　result,　this　analysis　investigates　the　impact　of　educational　attainment,　environmental　law,　and　innovation　on　renewable　energy　consumption　(REC)　in　China.　From　empirical　estimates,　we　confer　that　the　long-run　estimates　attached　to　the　environment-related　taxes　and　environmental　policy　stringency　are　positive　and　significant,　implying　that　both　these　factors　increase　the　REC　in　China　in　the　long　run.　Similarly,　the　estimated　coefficients　of　environment-related　technologies　and　patent　applications　are　significantly　positive,　confirming　that　environmental　and　other　technologies　give　rise　to　REC　in　the　long　run.　Likewise,　the　long-run　estimates　of　education　are　significantly　positive　in　both　models,　which　confer　that　REC　increases　along　with　an　increase　in　average　years　of　schooling.　Lastly,　the　estimates　of　CO2　emissions　are　significantly　positive　in　the　long　run.　These　results　imply　that　policymakers　should　invest　in　research　and　development　activities　that　are　crucial　for　promoting　eco-innovation　and　renewable　energy　demand.　In　addition,　strict　environmental　laws　should　be　introduced　to　induce　firms　and　businesses　to　invest　in　clean　energy.
