In a race against excessive global warming, the world must accelerate the development and adoption of environmental innovations (EIs). EIs are crucial in decarbonizing the economy and meeting the net-zero targets. In this literature review, we delve into the role of governments in promoting EIs across stages of maturity and the likeliness of such support to reduce emissions and mitigation costs. Various theoretical justifications, such as knowledge externalities, dynamic increasing returns, path dependency and incomplete information, highlight the necessity to promote EI through governmental Research and Development (R&D) support. While emission pricing remains the most cost-efficient climate policy, it fails as a stand-alone instrument to sufficiently encourage EI. Accordingly, the optimal approach is a policy mix complementing emission pricing with governmental R&D support. The theoretical finding is backed by empirical studies on the development and deployment of renewable energies, which also show that investment in R&D can effectively reduce emissions and mitigation costs. By combining theoretical and empirical research, the review concludes by examining two pivotal policy actions aimed at accelerating the take-off of EIs: The US Inflation Reduction Act and the European Green New Deal Industrial Plan. We evaluate their specific aspects and limitations to effectively and efficiently contribute to decarbonization.

在应对全球过度变暖的竞赛中，世界必须加快开发和采用环境创新（EIs）。环境创新对经济去碳化和实现净零目标至关重要。在这篇文献综述中，我们将深入探讨政府在促进不同成熟阶段的环境创新中所扮演的角色，以及这种支持在减少排放和缓解成本方面的可能性。各种理论依据，如知识外部性、动态收益递增、路径依赖和信息不完全等，都强调了通过政府研发支持促进环境创新的必要性。虽然排放定价仍是最具成本效益的气候政策，但作为一种独立的工具，它无法充分鼓励环境创新。因此，最佳方法是将排放定价与政府研发支持相结合。有关可再生能源开发和应用的实证研究支持了这一理论发现，这些研究还表明，研发投资可以有效降低排放和减排成本。结合理论和实证研究，本综述最后探讨了旨在加速环境创新起飞的两项关键政策行动：美国的《通货膨胀削减法案》和欧洲的《绿色新政工业计划》。我们评估了它们的具体方面和局限性，以切实有效地促进去碳化。
