... Emergy theory can solve the problems that different materials and energy in the system have different forms and dimensions and cannot be measured uniformly, and realize the unified measurement of social, economic, and ecological values. Emergy analysis has been widely used in various system assessments, such as Economic Development, Ecosystem [10,11], Agricultural Production [12,13], Pollution Control [14,15], Resource Assessment [16,17], Wastewater Treatment [18,19], and Energy Utilization [20,21]. In assessing the sustainability of the urban system, Qi [22] and others took the water treatment plant as an example and improved the emergy evaluation index system to assess its environmental sustainability according to the characteristics of the water supply system (especially considering the impact of pollutant discharge); Zhang Junxue et al. [23] used emergy theory to quantitatively evaluate the sustainability of environmental governance. ...

... Under the background of green and sustainable development, clean energy has become an ideal substitute for traditional fossil energy [5]. In addition, the Chinese government promised in the "Paris Climate Summit" to achieve peak carbon emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 [6]. In order to fulfill its commitments, reducing the use of traditional energy and increasing clean energy consumption are important measures taken by the Chinese government to reduce carbon dioxide emissions [7]. ...

... Liu et al. (2017) investigated the relationship between provincial energy consumption and new urbanization in China, along with its spatial spillover effects, by adopting a spatial econometric model and using the resident population as an indicator of urbanization rate. Hong et al. (2020) explored the impact of urbanization on inter-provincial energy connectivity in China; they used the income-expenditure ratio and urban-rural income ratio, to measure the level of urbanization. Feng et al. (2022) analyzed the impact of new urbanization on energy efficiency and concluded that there was heterogeneity in the impact of various stages of urbanization on efficiency. ...
