This paper aims to investigate the major driving forces dominating energy efficiency of industrial sectors in China. The results show that the energy intensity effect is the major driving force for improving the energy efficiency of the whole industrial sectors. Before 2002, the reduction of energy consumption was the major driving force for improving the energy efficiency of the whole industrial...
With the global "low-carbon economy" booming, energy conservation and emission reduction on tourism is a focus of global concern, because tourism is the important sector of carbon emission. Many tourism regions have proposed the measurements of energy conservation and emission reduction. Research on tourism emission reduction also began to rise. However, energy conservation and emission...
With China's rapid economic development and the world's total primary Energy declining, Energy bottleneck effect on China's economy has become increasing evident. China's economic growth pattern is in the transitional period from extensiveness to intensiveness, the improvement of the energy structure also becomes more urgent. In this paper, the authors put forward some measures to adjust China's energy...
China will more firmly embrace green and low-carbon development ideals and step up efforts in saving resources and protecting the ecological environment. Therefore, the green taxation policy is just part of a portfolio of possible policy changes. Under this background, this article summarizes many countries' green taxation policy, and explains the objective of polluter pays principle and the mechanism...
According to China's eight major economic regions of inland areas, This paper conducts a decomposition research of China's regional energy intensity between 1997 and 2007, from the perspective of regional differences with AVD1 decomposition method, points out that China's energy intensity maintains a downward trend, decline of 28.42% between 1997 and 2007, of which the regional efficiency factor is...
This study computes the regional total factor energy efficiency (TFEE) in china for the period 1990-2007 by employing DEA-Malmquist. In our DEA-Malmquist model, labor, capital stock and energy consumption are the three inputs and real GDP is the single output. Our empirical results indicate the eastern areas total factor energy efficiency has been on the efficiency frontier surface, the mid-west area...
With continuous increase of carbon emission, China is facing more and more pressure from international community. However, what is the driving force of China's carbon emission growth? Whether China's carbon emission should be borne by the Chinese people? Based on carbon accounting resulted from energy consumption, this paper quantitativly analyze the effect of exports on carbon emission using China's...
Evidence shows large amount of Green House Gases (GHG) was discharged into the atmosphere during the process of industrial and agricultural production and led to global warming which affected the environment and life of mankind. This press makes GHG reduction the common responsibility of humans. This paper induces risk management into adaptation enhancement and GHG emission reduction, risk matrix...
In recent years, serious environmental pollution has been one of major constraints of China's sustainable economy, for the most part, the rapid growth of energy consumption is attributable. In this paper, we firstly use factor analysis method to do evaluation on environmental pollution degrees of China's 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions (not including Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and...
Building energy consumption refers to various energy used in buildings, including energy consumption in heating, air-conditioning, illumination and hot water supply etc. Based on a comprehensive analysis of all kinds of main factors influencing building energy consumption, this paper simulates the future development tendency of building energy consumption in China through a quantitative analysis so...
In this paper, we present a review of the deregulation of energy prices in China between 1981 and 2007, and assess the impacts of changes in energy prices on aggregate energy intensity. We concluded that raising energy prices is an effective policy tool for decreasing energy intensity by increasing efficiency of energy use. According to research, the author suggests that, to save more energy, in addition...
Characteristics of extensive production and management of resources of high energy consumption and pollution emissions caused by small and medium enterprises, SMEs for short, in China lead to an enormous waste of resources and environmental pollution. Developing recycling economy model is the strategic choice of Chinese SMEs In the sustainable development concept to guide the larger environment. We...
In recent years, due to China's industrialization and urbanization process, demand for energy-intensive products continue to grow. While the industrial sector energy-intensive industry, capacity expansion contributed to the scale of China's economy continues to expand; the country also face serious challenges needed for China's economic development resources and energy supply. How to ease China's...
This paper applies the cointegration tests and error correction models in panel data to investigate the causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth. The results show that there is long-run unidirectional causality running from energy consumption to economic growth in eastern, central and western region of China. In addition, there is just short-run unidirectional causality running...
With the cointegration theory, oil consumption, national economic growth, population, oil price, industrial structure, energy structure and technical progress variables are discussed in this paper. By analyses, it is found that cointegration relationship exist among variables of oil consumption, industrial structure, energy structure and technical progress. The error correction model about oil consumption...
Electrical energy supply on a sustainable, rapid and healthy development is an essential industry of any national economy. China is producing and consuming large quantity of electrical of energy, however how to balance the energy, economic and the environment is a major strategic issue. In China the use of coal as a primary fuel source a great impact on the environment. Chinese government is keen...
Mineral resource is the material basis in the progress of human society and economic development, as well as the essential element in the sustainable development. The non-renewability and the sustainability of the development of mineral recourse require us to minimize energy consumption and achieve the economic maximization, which allows the resource-based circular economy as the strategic choice...
The new energy industry is a complicated system, involving a number of subjects and requiring the collaboration of multiple parties. This paper carries out a analysis of SD growth limit of new energy industry in China, based on the analysis of the current status and characteristics of new energy industry in China and finds ways to eliminate growth limit, and then puts forward the suggestions of the...
From the initial investment and overall system energy consumption point of view, compared the natural ice-storage air-conditioning system with the ice-storage air-conditioning system and the conventional air-conditioning system; compared the annual operation cost and payback period of the ice-storage system under different price policy. We deduce that the difference between the total energy consumption...
Based on the Window Techniques of DEA, this paper integrates the evaluation index system of sustainable development at home and abroad, and calculates the technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of the sustainable development ability of energy consumption in eastern, central and western of China from 2001 to 2007. The results show that the provinces and cities of eastern...
