Energy consumption may play different roles at different stages of urbanization and economic growth. Given China's rapid economic development and urbanization process, this study tries to explore the possible nonlinear relationship between energy consumption and urbanization in China. Against...

Energy and environmental issues have already become two serious threats to China’s sustainable development. In this study, the relationship between energy consumption, environmental regulation and carbon emissions is quantitatively examined after taking full control of spatial effects and...

Internet technology has broken the boundaries of traditional geographical space, greatly shortened the space-time distance between regions, and maximized the integration of various resources. Therefore, in the era of the digital economy, the rapid development of network information technology,...

Since the reform and opening up, electricity consumption in China has grown rapidly. However, the energy and environmental problems partly caused by the power generation structure, which is dominated by coal-fired power generation, have deepened, affecting the orderly and sustainable development...

With the emergence of information communication technology, the role of internet development has become crucial for energy intensity. This study uses the spatial Durbin model to test the impact of internet development on China’s energy intensity. The results show that internet development...

This paper calculates the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of Beijing over 2005-2011 in light of the Beijing's energy balance table and the carbon emission coefficients of IPCC. Furthermore, based on a series of energy conservation planning program issued in Beijing, the LEAP-BJ model is...
