The Relation between Energy, Economy and Environment in Chinaâ??s Industrial Sector: Based on Energy Saving

Abstract

Energy saving is important for our society, and industry should be focused because of its high energy consumption. This paper used the grey correlation degree method to discuss the relation between economic development, environmental protection and industrial energy consumption in China, gave harmonious development model for 3E (Energy â?? Economy - Environment) system, and computed contribution rate for energy consumption decrease based on industrial indexes. Results show that energy utilization efficiency of industry is low, industrial energy consumption promotes the increase of waste, industrial added value blocks the decrease of energy consumption intensity, and the decrease of industrial energy consumption intensity is vital. Hence, energy saving of industry is imperative, which can be achieved by measures in industry restructuring, technology research, administration mode, legal construction, and recycling economy.
