Summary. Internet access increases farmers' willingness to participate in personal carbon trading schemes for bioenergy in rural China. The study finds that farmers with internet access show higher participation rates and demand higher carbon prices. Male, younger, and less-educated farmers respond most strongly to internet access. Longer internet use correlates with greater participation willingness, suggesting rural broadband infrastructure can promote carbon trading adoption and reduce rural poverty.
