Co-benefits are used to reflect multiple important benefits that could be achieved by a single policy or measure. In recent years, researches on co-benefits have developed rapidly in various fields, but there is limited research associated with eco-industrial development. In order to investigate the driving forces of co-benefits in the field of eco-industrial development, this study established an emergy-based hybrid model for such a research objective. In order to verify this model, Suzhou industrial park in China has been selected as a case study. The results showed that co-benefits achieved in 2015 through eco-industrial development-based strategies in Suzhou industrial park were more than that were in 2010. Waste reutilization environmental efficiency effect was the most significant positive driving forces, while energy consumption efficiency effect had the least impact on generating co-benefits in Suzhou industrial park. Policy implications such as strengthening eco-industrial network and further industrial structure promotion are proposed.

Technology and institutions are important driving forces for industrial development, but the relationship between them has not yet reached a consensus due to different economic theories. On the basis of the evolutionary theory, this paper aims to study the roles co-evolution of technology and institutions played in the development of emerging industry. Taking electric vehicles in China as a case study and the five-year plans for the nodes of industrial development, this paper analyzes the co-evolutionary process of technology and institutions at different stages of industrial development, and concludes that it was institutions that promoted technology innovation during the industrial incubation and infancy periods, while during the growth period, it was technology that drove institutions’ innovation. In order to promote the development of electric vehicle industry, it is necessary to further strengthen institutional innovation for technological and industrial development.

The paper explored how to develop schemes to achieve a district’s energy consumption per gross domestic product (ECPGDP) target. It first analysed the available measures regarding the reduction of ECPGDP. These measures include optimising the industrial structure, reducing the energy intensity of different industries, reducing the per capita residential energy consumption, and reducing the energy losses. Next, the procedure and methods of developing schemes to achieve the target ECPGDP were proposed. The procedure contains five steps: determine the target ECPGDP, predicting the initial value of the ECPGDP, analysing the availability of different measures of reducing the ECPGDP, forming the schemes of achieving the target, and summarising the proposed schemes. Finally, the paper considered the 12th Five-Year period ECPGDP target of Daxing District, Beijing as a study case. In the case study, four quantitative schemes to achieve the target ECPGDP were considered.

Energy consumption induced by industry sector is the main source of carbon emission. So it is important to the policy making that research on the low-carbon industrial development, which is aiming to establish an industry system with low-carbon character. There are four restrictive factors on low-carbon industrial development in Tianjin Binhai New Area of China: the rather large scale of the secondary industry, the heavy industrial structure which strongly caused the increasing energy consumption, the high-carbon energy structure of industrial sector, and the lower industrial energy efficiency which has certain gap compared with other regions. Several countermeasures are proposed to reduce carbon emission induced by industrial sector, such as improving energy efficiency, optimizing energy structure, establishing multiple-access financing mechanism to encourage R&D on low-carbon technology, enhancing the development of low carbon industry, participating in the international cooperation actively, and making strategic plan of low-carbon industrial development.

Emission trading could increase the production cost of sectors, and thus has significant impacts on sectoral competitiveness. This study takes the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region as an example to explore the impacts of different carbon market linkage scenarios on regional sectoral competitiveness by using the CEECPA model, a static multi-region and multi-sector Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model in China. Results show that carbon market linkage can mitigate the adverse impacts of emission trading on regional sectoral competitiveness across the BTH region. However, carbon market linkage may lead to the imbalances of regional sectoral competitiveness. In particular, energy production and energy-intensive sectors in Hebei would experience higher sectoral competitive losses under the restricted linkage scenario. Revenue recycling can effectively reduce sectoral competitive losses from carbon market linkage. Especially, using revenues to deduct indirect tax can make the sectoral competitive losses in Hebei significantly decrease. Policy implications are proposed to facilitate emission mitigation and balanced industrial development in China.

A “Gold town” is a characteristic town featuring gold industry and being operated by leading enterprises. Xintai Group in gold and jewelry industry has launched a “Gold Town” project in Houjie, Dongguan, Guangdong by taking advantage of its own capital and technology, seizing the opportunity of gold and jewelry industry transformation and gathering the strength of traditional gold and jewelry industry in Houjie. “Gold Town” is a key project supported by the local government in response to the national call. When setting up this project, Xintai Group introduced the characteristic development concept of European towns and optimized its own industrial structure, and meanwhile it aimed to build an industrial ecological base of gold and jewelry town and aggregate industrial development resources. This project has been partially completed and the first phase has been transferred to the production and operation stage. Therefore, it is of great significance for both Xintai Group and the local government to explore the appropriate development strategy of the “Gold Town” project.

Studying on the regional carbon emissions impacting factor and its effect will contribute greatly to formulation sound regional carbon emissions reduction policy. As a main province of energy development in the western of China, Shaanxi province is facing growing pressure to reduce carbon emissions. In this paper, carbon emissions impacting factors of Shaanxi were explored from aspects of population,economic growth, urbanization, industrial structure, technological progress and energy consumption structure by STIRPAT model and ridge regression method,then the contribution rate of impacting factors to carbon emissions increment were calculated. The results shows that population, economic growth, urbanization and energy consumption have positive impacting on the growth of carbon emissions in Shaanxi, among them, the economic growth is the decisive factor that pulling carbon emissions growth the economic growth. Industrial structure and technology progress had adverse effect on carbon emissions in Shaanxi, in comparison, the effect of optimizing of industrial structure to inhibit the carbon emissions in Shaanxi is greater than the effect of adjustment of energy consumption structure.
