Abstract

Against the backdrop of global energy transition and the advancement of the "Dual Carbon" strategy, the gas industry is under multiple pressures such as shrinking traditional profit margins and accelerating substitution by clean energy. This paper selects 24 listed gas companies as analysis samples, and systematically explores the current situation of high-quality development and its core influencing factors in the gas industry by integrating the DEA-BCC model and the Malmquist index method. The results show that:(1)The overall industrial efficiency is characterized by weak technical support and gradually declining returns to scale.(2)Leading enterprises in the industry have significant advantages in technical efficiency, while some enterprises have low operational efficiency due to slow technological innovation and unreasonable scale structure.(3)Technological innovation is the key engine driving the growth of total factor productivity of enterprises, and low-carbon transition and cross-border collaborative cooperation will become important directions for the future development of the industry.(4)Gas enterprises should build an intelligent gas operation system, promote the complementary development of multiple types of energy, layout a low-carbon transformation path, enhance comprehensive competitiveness by relying on industrial collaboration alliances and foreign exchanges and cooperation.
