ABSTRACT
In recent years, the growth rate of GDP in Sichuan Province has continued to exceed the national average, and its economic aggregate has also achieved leapfrog development. This paper combines the data of total energy consumption in Sichuan Province to conduct an empirical analysis of the impact of energy and industrial structure in Sichuan Province, and finally gives policy recommendations. The study found that the continuous increase of carbon emissions in Sichuan Province in recent years is mainly caused by the excessive dependence on coal-based fossil energy development economy. By increasing the ratio of oil and natural gas, the increase of carbon emissions can be effectively reduced.
