Abstract Stimulating renewable energy consumption has become a major strategic choice for China to both fulfill the international commitment to reduce carbon emissions and realize the high-quality growth of the domestic economy. On account of the provincial data during the period of 2000 to 2017, we creatively incorporate the ecological footprint into the measurement of low-carbon economy development level through super-efficient SBM model, so as to infer the coordinated development level of 3E system more precisely. Based on factor substitution effect, energy path dependence effect and scale effect, the complex nonlinear relationship between the two core research objects is further probed by constructing the threshold regressive model. On the foundation of heoretical research, the consumption of renewable energy, the intensity of energy use and the level of regional economic development are respectively selected as the moderating variables of the model. Further, we divide different intervals of threshold values to distinguish the differences in the effects caused by regional heterogeneity. The following conclusions are drawed ultimately: There is an apparent threshold effect between the renewables consumption and the advancement of low-carbon economy. Only when the renewable itself reaches a higher level of consumption, can it show a significant advantage in green economic development. In addition, to make full use of the renewable resources to boost low-carbon and green economy, it is necessary to reduce the economy's dependence on energy, that is, to decrease the intensity of energy use, while maintaining the process of improving coordination of regional economy.

Low carbon economy is a kind of low energy consumption, low pollution, low emission as the basis of a new form of economic development, is the inevitable trend of harmonious development of man and nature. Based on expounding the connotation of low carbon economy and the elements, select the evaluation of each index of low carbon economic development level, the construction of the evaluation index system of low carbon economy, quantitative evaluation of the level of development of low carbon economy, and on this basis, put forward our country in the development of low carbon economy in the course of the transformation of the economic mode of development, increase investment in science and technology, the adjustment of energy consumption structure, optimize the industrial structure, the development of carbon sequestration potential of proposed measures.

This paper starts from the analysis of the connotation of low-carbon economy, and establishes the evaluation index system of regional low-carbon economic development level. The main research content is to determine the index weight, judge the correlation degree and sort the decision-making units by entropy method, grey correlation analysis and TOPSIS method, and finally make a comprehensive evaluation of the low-carbon economic development level of Shandong Province. The conclusion shows that the development level of low-carbon economy in Shandong Province shows a good trend year by year, but the consumption dependence on high energy consumption resources and backward ecological benefits are increasingly becoming the bottleneck of the development of low-carbon economy in Shandong Province.

One of obvious characteristics of low-carbon economy is that economic development level and carbon productivity reached a certain high level at the same time. In this article, 21 cities of Guangdong province in China are categorized as region A, B and C based on their economic level and carbon productivity level. Shenzhen city in region A is chosen as “model city”, because it has the highest economic development level and carbon productivity. Chasing decoupling model for other cities to catching up with “model city” is established based on tapio decoupling model. Main results show that most of cities did not catch up with the “model city” during 2005 to 2016. Finally, different low-carbon development proposals are proposed for region A, B and C，respectively. Cities in region A should improve the technology level of energy saving and carbon reduction. Cities in region B should develop high value-added and low carbon industries while strive for ecological compensation funds. In addition to the ecological compensation fund, cities in region C should also develop ecological industry vigorously.

Low-carbon economy was an inevitable choice in response to climate warming. With the deep analysis of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), this paper used two models to analyze the relationship between the growth of a country’s economic and the quantity of pollutants produced in the process. The empirical study compare the two groups of samples, which described energy consumption per unit of industrial added value, each group contains five symbolic provinces or municipalities in coastal and western areas. The outcome proved the positive significance of technology innovation.
