Abstract:Exploring the construction of evaluation indicators based on the theoretical framework related to energy transition to quantify the spatial and temporal characteristics of China's energy green consumption level from a macro perspective. With 30 Chinese provinces as the research objects, a comprehensive evaluation index system of China's energy green consumption level containing 20 specific indicators in 7 dimensions is constructed from the perspective of socio-technical system transformation, and the evolution characteristics and driving factors of their energy green consumption levels are analyzed empirically in both spatial and temporal dimensions based on provincial panel data from 2006 to 2019 adopting entropy-weighted TOPSIS method and spatial econometric model. The results show that: (1) the regional energy green consumption level is fluctuating, rising steadily and rising rapidly in 3 stages of spiral climbing trend, with obvious Matthew effect, and the development trend of " high in the east and low in the west" clustering. (2) Among the seven types of driving factors affecting energy green consumption level in the region, low-carbon industrial structure, new energy infrastructure, scientific and technological development, environmental regulation, urbanization, and urban greening have positive spatial direct effects, while high-carbon energy consumption structure has negative spatial direct effects; scientific and technological development and urbanization have positive spatial indirect effects, low-carbon industrial structure and new energy infrastructure have negative spatial indirect effects, and the spatial indirect effects of the remaining factors are not obvious. Therefore, attention should be paid to strengthening inter-regional scientific and technological cooperation, deepening the concept of ecological civilization and sustainable development, and promoting the steady rise of China's energy green consumption level.
