Both energy consumption and the growth of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in China are attributed to the industrial sector. Energy conservation and CO2 emissions reduction in China’s industrial sector is decisive for achieving a low-carbon transition. We analyze the change of energy-related CO2...

As one of the six highest energy-consuming industries, non-metallic mineral products industry accounts for 9.5% of national energy usage and 9.0% of energy-related CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions in China. In this paper, we evaluate the CO2 emissions change from energy consumption and present a...

Reduction of carbon dioxide emissions without negatively affecting the industrial growth is a dilemma for industries in China. On this issue, an empirical study is provided on the relation between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and industrial growth in the Chinese manufacturing sector. The ARDL...

As the high energy-consuming manufacturing industry, electricity consumption of nonmetallic mineral products in China accounted for 7.93% of industrial, 5.84% of national and 1.33% of global electricity consumption in 2010. This study attempts to specify the determinants of sectoral electricity...

The distributional impact on households is an important factor for the acceptance of energy subsidy reform. Based on energy consumption features of the Chinese households at different income levels, this paper adopts an input–output price model to analyze possible impacts of removing energy...

China's industrial energy consumption accounted for 70.82% of national and 14.12% of world energy usage in 2011. In the context of energy scarcity and environmental pollution, the industrial sector in China faces unsustainable growth problems. By adopting the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA)...

In spite of the decreasing share of nuclear power all over the world, China resumed the approval of large-scale construction of nuclear power plants in 2012. However, influenced by the worldwide spreading anti-nuclear attitudes, people who live near nuclear power plants showed increasing...
