Facing the pressures of international carbon emission reduction, the transformation into a low-carbon economy has become a common issue of all countries. The core of developing a low-carbon economy is to increase carbon productivity, which can be measured as the economic benefits of unit carbon emissions. Therefore, using province-level panel data in China from 2009 to 2017, we analyze the carbon productivity level of each region, and empirically investigate the threshold effect of clean energy development on carbon productivity under different technological innovation levels. The results show that the carbon productivity is rising, and China’s economic development pattern has been shifting towards low-carbon and sustainable development. Furthermore, the driving force of clean energy development on carbon productivity is not monotonously increasing (decreasing) but is a “double threshold effect” of technological innovation capability. Finally, based on the research conclusions and realistic requirements of China’s low-carbon economic transformation, this paper proposes improving carbon productivity from the aspects of innovation capability improvement and institutional guarantee.

With the economic and social development, the supply and development of energy have been the outstanding problems affecting human survival and development. On the basis of ensuring the safe and efficient supply of clean energy, building a strong and smart grid, can be conducive to energy conservation and smart electricity. Through analysis of the development and status quo of clean energy and discussion of the features and advantages of the strong and smart grid, the article proposed the development of a strong and smart grid had important significance of advocating low-carbon economy, promoting the transformation of energy supply, and the protection of for the sustainable economic and social development. Finally, the article gave the outlook for the future of the development of a strong and smart grid.

The low carbon economy development mode refers to the use of a low carbon economy related theoretical knowledge, organization economy and social activity, the traditional economic development mode is transformed into a new low carbon economy development mode. With the economic development of Hebei Province, a low carbon economy development as the guidance, and Hebei Province low carbon economy development planning as the purpose, to establish Hebei Province low carbon economy development mode structure. At the same time, the economic development of Hebei Province is carried out investigation and analysis, the original data of Hebei Province economic development uses standard data method and normal distribution, to carry out standard processing. According to the analytic hierarchy process, the combination of Hebei Province low carbon economy evaluation and index hierarchy analysis method, to carry out system evaluation for the overall carbon economy development.

At present, industrial structure in the regions of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia is still at energy intensive phrase, with highlighted contradiction between supply and demand of energy, higher carbon emission, lower low-carbon technology, and lacking of integrated planning and coordination in economic development, environmental protection and ecological construction. To realize advantages integration and balanced development under the orientation of low-carbon economy, we should vigorously probe into the market transaction mechanism of regional low-carbon economy, build a micro economy policy and regulation system for low-carbon economy, strive to develop clean energy, and construct a new scientific innovation mechanism with energy conservation and emission reduction.
