『Abstract
For the Chinese industry as the mainstay of the national economy
and dominant energy user and carbon emitter, an integrative assessment
is performed from major energy policy perspectives of energy security,
energy efficiency and carbon emission. Extensive systems indicators,
including oil dependence ratio, average oil growth rate; indices
of energy diversity, of carbonization and of oil growth risk;
ratios of energy use to output, to value added and to compensation
for laborers; ratios of carbon emission to output, to value added
and to compensation for laborers, are devised to assess the Chinese
industry 2002-2007 with most recent statistics availability. Combined
indicators are identified by sparse principle component analysis
to characterize sector performances. The industrial sectors are
classified into five clusters and the main features of each cluster
are pinpointed using fuzzy clustering algorithm. Concrete results
facilitate comparisons of sectors to enable more accurate policy
recommendations.
