The downside of natural resource consumption (NTR) is carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions due to the exploitation and consumption of Natural Resources as well as the increasing level of consumption in the economy. Additionally, the massive expansion and growth of the Chinese economy also means that the country's CO2 emissions are at an all-time high, thus making China one of the leading contributors to global warming input. Therefore, the present study fills the knowledge gap by analyzing the relationships that govern natural resource consumption and technological innovation in combating environmental damage caused by CO2, by looking at rethinking EKC in the Chinese context through “Quantum auto-distributed delay”. The results confirm the EKC in that the consumption of natural resources makes the environment worse; however, technological innovation is a potential solution in combating CO2. According to these findings, government organizations need to ensure that the consumption of Natural Resources is maintained without losing economic benefits and prosperity.
