  • Abstract
    In recent years, due to China´s industrialization and urbanization process, demand for energy-intensive products continue to grow. While the industrial sector energy-intensive industry, capacity expansion contributed to the scale of China´s economy continues to expand; the country also face serious challenges needed for China´s economic development resources and energy supply. How to ease China´s current energy constraints? Whether the development of the information economy will affect China´s energy consumption, how information technology to transform energy-intensive industries, using information technology to promote energy-intensive industries to improve energy efficiency? Are technological advances really able to improve energy efficiency? If so, the extent to which technological advances can improve energy efficiency? In this paper, by building dynamic models, it explores the information economy, technological change, human resource allocation and energy prices on energy-intensive industry, capacity, energy consumption, the impact of the mechanism and target of China´s energy-intensive industries and the specific situation and puts forward appropriate policy recommendations.
