Abstract

Objective: The rapid development of clean energy projects under the "Double Carbon" goals highlights the crucial role of environmental management. However, current research often overlooks the impact of cooperation among project participants on environmental outcomes. This study explores how environmental management systems, digital environmental protection, and environmental impact assessments affect the environmental protection management performance of clean energy projects. We focus on building a structural equation model to guide the environmental management of clean energy projects through participant collaboration. Methods: This study uses a quantitative questionnaire to collect data from owners, designers, constructors, suppliers, and supervisors on key indicators such as participant-builder partnerships, environmental management systems, environmental impact assessments, digital environmental management, environmental management in the construction process, and environmental management of project performance. Using this data, a structural equation model is constructed to measure the path influence coefficients using the quantitative data. Results: The results show that effective environmental management systems, environmental impact assessments, and digital environmental management promote the construction process and overall project performance. The main role paths identified are the following: "partnership → environmental management system → construction process management → environmental management performance", "partnership → environmental impact assessment → construction process management → environmental management performance", and "partnership → digital environmental management → construction process management → environmental management performance". The research establishes a measurement index system for environmental protection management of clean energy projects. The factors that environmental protection management of clean energy projects should focus on are clarified through the research. Recommendations include: (1) establishing a holistic environmental protection management system to standardize and refine project management; (2) strengthening environmental protection management throughout the project lifecycle, particularly during impact assessment and construction; and (3) implementing digital environmental protection management by establishing an environmental protection information platform to boost efficiency. Conclusions: This study reveals the influence mechanism of environmental management of clean energy projects, offering empirical support for improvements. It paves the way for realizing efficient environmental protection management for future clean energy projects, improving performance through a robust environmental protection management system, lifecycle management, and digital environmental protection management. The insights provided serve as a reference for environmental protection management of engineering projects including clean energy.
