“…This will also result in a cleaner and more efficient energy consumption system. The above analysis is in line with Ervural (2018) [54], Li et al (2019) [55], and Zhao et al (2021) [56], who infer that a diversified and low-carbon energy mix is conducive to energy efficiency.…”

An increase in energy efficiency is an essential element and a powerful driving force for the in-depth implementation of the sustainable development strategies necessary in accelerating the promotion of green, circular, and low-carbon development, as well as to promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. An important question with regard to this paper is thus: can the low-carbon city pilot policy promote energy efficiency improvement, and if so, through what mechanisms? This paper uses the SBM–Malmquist–Luenberger index method to measure the green total factor energy efficiency and examines the impact and pathways of the pilot policy on the energy efficiency of enterprises, using a sample of listed manufacturing enterprises in 230 prefecture-level cities in China from 2007 to 2020. Additionally, the time-varying difference-in-differences (DID) method is approached in this paper. After replacing energy efficiency with slack-based measure directional distance function model (SBM-DDF) and conducting a series of robustness tests, this study found that the pilot policy can significantly improve the energy efficiency of manufacturing enterprises. A mechanism test shows that this policy can promote green innovation effect and agglomeration effect to improve enterprises’ energy efficiency. The low-carbon city pilot policy has contributed the most to energy efficiency through enterprise investment in green innovation and manufacturing agglomeration. Heterogeneity analysis found that policy effect differs among firms in terms of different sizes and properties, and the pilot policy plays different roles among different regions. This paper provides firm-level theoretical support and empirical evidence for evaluating low-carbon city pilot policy and offers policy recommendations.

“…In the same year, China's total energy consumption was 5.24 billion tons of standard coal, an increase of 5.2% over the previous year; China's CO 2 emissions were 10.52 billion tons, ranking first in the world, and its per capita CO 2 emissions were 8.4 tons, also ranking first in the world. It is estimated that by the end of 2022, China's CO 2 emissions will reach 12.80 billion tons, and its per capita CO 2 emissions will reach 9.10 tons, still ranking first in the world [2,3]. Therefore, the task of the Chinese government to achieve the "double carbon" goal (peak CO 2 emissions and carbon neutrality) is still very difficult.…”

In order to explore an effective way to evaluate the comprehensive performance of high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry based on low-carbon constraints, this paper, based on the analysis of research background, drew on the latest domestic and international research results and experience, and fully considered the actual situation of high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry based on low-carbon constraints. Among the five criteria-layer evaluation index of economic development, energy consumption, technological innovation, environmental pressure and environmental pollution governance, 30 representative operating-layer evaluation indicators were selected, and a fuzzy matter-element extension evaluation model for the comprehensive performance evaluation of China's provincial high-quality development based on low-carbon constraints was constructed. By using the relevant statistical data in China Statistical Yearbook, China Energy Statistical Yearbook and China Environmental Status Bulletin, this paper conducted an evaluation study on the comprehensive performance of high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry based on low-carbon constraints in 31 provinces, verified the effectiveness of the fuzzy matterelement extension evaluation model, and provided an effective quantitative analysis method for the comprehensive performance evaluation of high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry based on low-carbon constraints.
