Abstract:The circular economic construction in traditional energy-intensive industries is closely related, so the compound systems between energy-intensive industries have been formed to some extent. To study circular economic synergy degree evolution of compound systems between energy-intensive industries, the synergy degree evaluation model and index system of a compound system is built up. After collecting data of four typical energy-intensive industries such as metallurgy, chemical, building materials and thermal power in years of 2005-2014, six compound systems between four industries is grouped, and empirical analysis were carried out on circular economic synergy degree evolution of compound systems. The results are, circular economic synergy degree evolution of compound systems between energy-intensive industries present basically a rising trend, while there are differences between the synergy degree levels. Among them, metallurgy and other three energy-intensive industries shows better synergy degree, and the thermal power industry with three other industries has lower synergy degree overall.
