摘要

化学工业与几乎所有的工业流程都有直接或间接的联系,在印度的经济和社会发展中占有举足轻重的地位。但同时,它也是印度第二大能源密集型产业。因此,我们试图研究影响印度化学工业能源密集度的因素。我们收集了 2010 年至 2021 年期间总共 2613 家化工企业的面板数据集进行分析。我们在线性和非线性框架下,分别采用固定效应回归法和面板量值回归法进行了实证检验。我们发现,由于劳动生产率低下、厂房和机器庞大、业务外包以及更多使用信息技术服务,样本化工企业的能源强度增加。另一方面,使用更优质的原材料和先进技术有助于优化能源强度。我们还发现,盈利企业和规模较大的企业能源效率较高。根据研究结果,我们建议通过专业培训计划和职业技能发展计划来提高劳动生产率。建议盈利企业投资于技术升级和节能技术。我们相信,研究结果可以为管理者和政策制定者提供一系列变量,从而分散他们的注意力,找到所有可能的方法来降低印度化工企业的能源强度。

Analyzing energy intensity of Indian Chemical industry: A panel data approach

The chemical industry is directly or indirectly connected with almost every industrial process and holds a crucial place in the economic and social advancement of India. At the same time it is however, the second highest energy intensive industry in the country. Thus, we attempt to look into the factors that affect the energy intensity of Indian chemical industry. We collect a panel dataset including a total of 2613 chemical firms for the period 2010 to 2021 for our analysis. We carry out our empirical testing under both linear and non-linear framework by employing fixed effect regression and panel quantile regression methods respectively.

We find that energy intensity for the sample chemical firms increases due to poor labour productivity, huge plant and machinery, outsourcing operations, and more use of IT-enabled services. On the other hand, use of better quality raw material and advanced technology can help optimising the energy intensity. We also discover that profitable firms and firms larger in size are energy efficient. Based on the findings, we suggest professional training programs and vocational skill development programs for enhancing labour productivity. Profitable firms are suggested to invest in technological up-gradation and energy saving technology. We believe the findings of the study can provide a portfolio of variables to the managers and policy makers in order to diversify their attention to find all possible ways to reduce energy intensity of the Indian chemical firms.
