Factors Affecting The Energy Intensity Of Qinghai Province

Energy is the indispensable material basis for human survival and development. In the process of China’s economic growth, widespread low efficiency of energy use, high energy intensity and serious environmental pollution.Especially in China’s western region, rich in energy resources, energy and raw material industries in the industrial structure, the proportion of material, so, along with faster economic growth, energy consumption, environmental pollution related issues become more prominent., Located in China’s Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Qinghai Province of view, since the reform and opening up, especially since the large-scale development of the western region, along with its characteristics and advantages of resource development and economic growth, energy intensity of the country has been in the forefront. However, Qinghai Province, the Chinese water tower, is located in the Three Rivers region in China, and special plateau geographical environment decides the ecological environment in Qinghai Province, once destroyed, will affect the sustainable development of the country, almost irreparable consequences. Therefore, to study the impact of changes in energy intensity of Qinghai Province factors have a very important theoretical and practical significance, but the existing research is very weak, which left space for this study.Full text apart from the first chapter is Introduction to the main contents include the following parts:The first part of the second chapter, on the basis of precisely defined energy, energy intensity of its Indices, first of all the changes in the energy intensity of the impact factors into price The three categories of factors, structural factors and efficiency factors, and the level of energy prices, the industrial structure, industrial structure, urban-rural structure, investment structure and energy consumption structure, the process of energy conversion efficiency, R&D investment and FDI into nine indicators to measure These factors. Second part of the third, the fourth chapter, select the relevant data using partial least squares method in understanding and influencing factors of Qinghai Province1990-2010energy intensity changes in trends in the situation, and the2000boundaries minutes before and after The two stages of research, analysis and setting of the three categories of factors that affect the change of the energy intensity of Qinghai Province, nine indicators, the indicators of the degree of the impact of changes in energy intensity in Qinghai Province, the basic conclusion is:the price factor in reducing the energy intensity of space gradually reduced structural factors in the industrial structure further unreasonable to push up the energy intensity of the re-industrialization trend in the industrial structure has little impact on energy intensity, urbanization makes energy consumption more intensive and investment in industrial structure and energy intensity with the changes in the continuous optimization of the structure of energy consumption to reduce energy intensity have a positive role. Efficiency factor, R&D investment in small, cannot enhance self-innovation capability, increasing FDI investment in recent years to attract foreign investment, and the outside constantly absorb new technology, energy efficiency is also rising, to some extent reduce the energy intensity. The third part of the fifth chapter, according to the conclusions of researches proposed policy recommendations, mainly:to build a reasonable energy price system; optimize the industrial structure, promote the development of the tertiary industry; transformation of economic development mode, reducing the proportion of heavy; push forward the construction of urbanization and the energy consumption of intensive; optimizing the investment in industrial structure and promote the balanced development of the various industries; optimize the energy consumption structure and enhance clean energy consumption of specific gravity; strengthen the R&D investment, to promote independent innovation; attract foreign investment, and actively introduce advanced technology. Part IV of Chapter VI, which is a summary of the full text and the outlook for further research. And summarized the ideas and its related conclusions of this research, and pointed out the inadequacies and the future direction that further research is needed.The innovations of this paper are:(1) The scope of the study is located in Qinghai Province.(2) Summarized three factors, select the nine indicators, a more comprehensive study of the impact of various factors on energy intensity.(3) The data is divided into two stages, the comparative analysis of the implementation of the western development strategy, the different impact of various factors on the energy intensity.
