This paper explores the inter-relationship among productivity, energy consumption and exhaust emission of 18 industrial sectors in China based on Gray Relational Analysis; analyzes the sectors´ structure and feature of four kinds 3E (3E: Energy-Economy-Environment, it special refers to energy consumption, productivity and exhaust emission) patterns of China´s industries. Results show that the overall situation of Chinese industrial 3E development has a good trend; In some industries the productivity has high growth rate and the energy consumption intensity is under the control, such as Mining and Quarrying Industry; Some industries have high exhaust emission intensity, such as Medical and Pharmaceutical Products, Nonmetal Mineral Products, and these industries are facing an extremely serious problem of exhaust emission.
