N2 - This paper investigates the impact of energy consumption's Green Quality Index (GQI) on carbon dioxide (CO
2) emissions in the United States from 1970 to 2021. At this point, the estimated models control for the effects of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, urban population, and globalization on CO
2 emissions. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag estimations demonstrate that GQI and globalization reduce CO
2 emissions in the short- and long run. However, GDP per capita and urban population are positively related to CO
2 emissions in the short- and long-run. Different estimation techniques confirm the long-run baseline findings. Potential policy implications for reducing CO
2 emissions in the United States are also provided.
