Abstract

Improving energy efficiency is the other effective way to solve China's energy shortage problem except the industrial structuring. Energy efficiency depends on the production technology level, which is determined by technological innovation capacity. In this paper, we firstly use factor analysis method to do evaluation on technological innovation capacities of China's 30 regions by means of statistics of 2007, and then use regression analysis method to research the relationship between the regional technological innovation capacity and regional energy consumption intensity. The results show that a significant negative correlation exists between them, which means the increasing technological innovation capacity can improve energy efficiency and lower energy consumption intensity effectively.
