Study on the Relationship between the Energy Carbon Emission and Economic Growth in Hebei Province

Abstract:

This article simply reviewed the carbon emission situation in Hebei province from 1996 to 2011, and tried to use environmental Kuznets curve to analysis the impact of the economic growth of CO2 emissions on the energy consumption. The regression results show that CO2 emissions and economic growth in line with the environmental Kuznets curve inverted U-shaped, but it is in the left hemisphere of the curve, namely, as the growth of the economy, the CO2 emissions will continue to increase, so the carbon emission reduction work in Hebei province is still very heavy, we should change the energy consumption situation actively in the environment, adjust the industrial structure, develop new technology vigorously, and promote the innovation of emission reduction.
