The analysis of effects of clean energy power generation

摘要

As pollution has become a significant issue in China,developing clean energy power generation is one of the main strategies to promote the sustainable economy.Based on the partially closed input-output model corresponding to 29 industries in 2012,this paper categorized power generation sectors to coal-fire power generation,gas power generation,wind power generation,photovoltaic generation,biomass energy power generation,and nuclear power generation to analyze the impacts on environment and social-economic developments.The results showed that improving single clean energy technology would lead to different degrees of positive impacts on environment,but the effects of GDP development and employment are highly correlated with the various generating costs.For the high generating costs,the clean-energy technologies would contribute to the positive effects;;however,the drawbacks of social economic development could overweight the benefits for the low generating costs in short run.In addition,improving diverse clean energy generating approaches could promote GDP growth,reduce pollution,and increase employment.Finally,this paper provided some policy suggestions for the green-energy power supply and low-carbon economic developments.
