Analysis of energy-saving and carbon reduction potentials of chemical fiber industry in a province based on enterprise clustering
The chemical fiber industry is under great pressure to save energy and reduce carbon in the target of the"double carbon"strategy,and it is necessary to analyze the current energy consumption,and energy-saving and carbon reduction potentials of the industry.Taking 146 chemical fiber enterprises in the largest chemical fiber province of China into consideration,the overall energy consumption characteristics of the industry were analyzed using enterprise energy consumption data.And the energy-saving and carbon reduction potentials of the industry were calculated in clusters based on the clustering algorithm.Results showed that the energy consumption structure and carbon emission structure of the chemical fiber industry were mainly contributed by electricity power in 2013-2021.The energy-saving potential accounted for 24.63%of the total energy consumption and the carbon reduction potential accounted for 22.91%of the total carbon emission.Energy-saving and carbon reduction should focus on reducing raw coal consumption for large enterprises or small enterprises with high energy consuption intensity,while energy-saving and carbon reduction should focus on reducing electricity consumption for small and medium enterprises.
