Abstract: Motivated by recent works of Sun and Tauraso, we prove some variations on the Green-Krammer identity involving central q-binomial coefficients, such as ${\displaystyle }$ sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(-1)^kq^{-{k+1choose 2}}{2k�rack k}_q equiv (frac{n}{5}) q^{-lfloor n^4/5 floor} pmod{Phi_n(q)}, ${\displaystyle }$ where $$ is the Legendre symbol and $Ph{i}_n(q)$ is the $n$th cyclotomic polynomial. As consequences, we deduce that ${\displaystyle }$ sum_{k=0}^{3^a m-1} q^{k}{2k�rack k}_q &equiv 0 pmod{(1-q^{3^a})/(1-q)}, sum_{k=0}^{5^a m-1}(-1)^kq^{-{k+1choose 2}}{2k�rack k}_q &equiv 0 pmod{(1-q^{5^a})/(1-q)}, ${\displaystyle }$ for $a,mgeq1$, the first one being a partial q-analogue of the Strauss-Shallit-Zagier congruence modulo powers of 3. Several related conjectures are proposed.
