Study on the construction of energy-saving evaluation index system for the development of low-carbon industrial — A case study in Pingtan of Fujian Province, China

Abstract

To promote the development of low-carbon industries of Pingtan, it is necessary to establish a scientific, comprehensive and reasonable index system to evaluate the energy-saving of low-carbon industrial development. This paper firstly introduced the development background of Pingtan. By analyzing the domestic and foreign industrial low carbon development evaluation theory, the energy-saving evaluation system of Pingtan industrial low carbon development is constructed by selecting three subsystems of energy consumption index, emission reduction index and technical index, including 12 specific indexes. Finally, the paper proposed a calculation model using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The evaluation system has a crucial practical significance to optimize the industrial structure layout of Pingtan, promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, accelerate the pace of low-carbon industries development, and improve resource utilization efficiency.
