Title: Methodology and Application of Eco-efficiency Analysis on Regional Industry
Abstract: The concept of eco-efficiency and its assessment is a useful and effective tool that can make the goal or requirement of sustainable development measurable.Presently,the quantification of eco-efficiency is one of the hot points in research field.In the light of analytical framework of life cycle analysis method,this paper establishes a calculating system for measuring regional industrial eco-efficiency,including indicators,assessing procedure,and calculating methods.The paper takes Beijing city as a case, using this method to calculate its industrial eco-efficiency from 1986 to 2004. The result shows that: ①Both the environment-type and the resource-type ecoefficiency increased dramatically,which means go up to 200 and 6 times respectively.②The most four remarkable factors are implementation of renewable energy policy,adjustment of industrial structure,high standards of environmental management and enhancement of financial support.③Based on above analysis,the paper gives four comments on this method and three suggestions for future research.
