Energy consumption structure; energy intensity; heterogeneity; mechanism test.Abstract
The effects of the industrial structure of energy consumption structure and environmental regulations on energy consumption per unit of GDP are explored and empirically tested using the panel regression method based on panel data of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2000 to 2021. It is found that upgrading the energy consumption structure has a significant inhibitory effect on the energy consumption per unit of GDP, and the results are robust. The mechanism test shows that energy intensity is affected by the industrial structure upgrading effect and the environmental protection expenditure effect on energy consumption structure upgrading. Further discussion through the industrial heterogeneity test reveals that for regions with less coal resource endowment or higher GDP, low-carbon upgrading of energy consumption structure can significantly reduce energy intensity. Upgrading the energy consumption structure for the secondary and tertiary industries can significantly reduce energy intensity. In contrast, upgrading the energy consumption structure for the primary industry can increase energy intensity, but the effect is not significant.
