Abstract:Based on the input-output table and energy consumption data of Guangdong Province in 2017, using the improved hypothetical extraction method to measure the industrial relevance of energy consumption. The results show that:(1) the total direct energy consumption of coking, chemical and metal products manufacturing industry is the largest, and the unit energy consumption of transportation, warehousing and postal services industry is the largest. They are the key departments of direct carbon emission reduction. (2) Coking, chemical and metal products manufacturing, transportation, warehousing and postal services, mining and power, gas and water production and supply industries account for the largest proportion of transferred carbon emissions, and are the key departments for indirect emission reduction. (3) The mechanical equipment manufacturing industry and the construction industry are the two sectors that absorb the most carbon transfer. The mechanical equipment manufacturing industry itself and the coking, chemical and metal products manufacturing industry are the main input sectors, and they are also the key sectors for indirect emission reduction. The key industrial sectors’ green technology development, the green energy’s development, the optimization of industrial structure and policy guidance will be the key to the green technology development of the economic system.
