Analysis on China Industrial Energy Consumption Based on Grey Theory

摘要

Basd on the panel data of China's 36 industrial sectors in 2000-2009, this paper analyzes the energy relationship of different sectors by grey relational theory. Results show that China's industry is strongly dependent on fossil fuels, and China needs optimize its industrial energy consumption structure. To do that, this paper finds out the industrial sub-sectors which should reduce fossil energy use or increase the use of electric power.
