Abstract

This paper is committed to study Chinese provinces energy efficiency and energy saving potential, trying to provide decision-making information for China’s emission reduction targets and policy formulation. For this purpose, this paper chooses slack-based measurement DEA model, improved to a standard linear programming style. In this model, Provincial wastewater, waste gas and industrial solid wastes are selected as undesirable output indicator to calculate energy efficiency and energy saving potential. The data sources from 2010 to 2012 Statistical Yearbook of China. Conclusion can be made that discrepancies of energy efficiencies are considerable among different provinces and China should start from central area to implement policies for energy saving.
