A Public Health-Oriented New Energy Industry Competitiveness Evaluation

Area of Science:

• Energy Economics
• Regional Competitiveness Analysis
• Industrial Development Strategy

Background:

• The new energy industry (NEI) is crucial for sustainable economic growth.
• Assessing regional NEI competitiveness requires tailored frameworks.
• Jilin Province presents a case study for evaluating NEI development.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop a regional new energy industry competitiveness evaluation index system.
• To empirically analyze the competitiveness of Jilin Province's NEI.
• To identify key factors influencing NEI competitiveness in the region.

Main Methods:

• Utilized the "diamond model" theoretical framework adapted for the NEI.
• Applied the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for factor weighting.
• Employed fuzzy comprehensive evaluation for overall competitiveness assessment.

Main Results:

• Jilin's NEI possesses a solid foundation with acceptable government support, talent, innovation, and market factors.
• Low regional GDP and per capita consumption, influenced by location and resources, hinder competitiveness.
• Insufficient intrinsic motivation for industrial competitive advantage leads to poor overall NEI competitiveness.

Conclusions:

• Jilin's NEI competitiveness is currently suboptimal due to internal weaknesses despite a good foundation.
• Recommendations include aligning with national strategies, enhancing innovation and talent, attracting investment, and boosting consumption.
• Optimizing industrial and energy structures through a complete NEI chain is vital for economic revitalization.
